[CTRL] Fwd: The Murder of Bishop Gerardi
---BeginMessage--- The New York Review of Books May 23, 2002 Victory in Guatemala By Francisco Goldman Just when we thought we'd recovered an environment that made it possible to live in peace, they answered: Here, take your dead man, who tried to discover the truth. Bishop Ríos Montt, head of the Guatemalan Archdiocese's Office of Human Rights (ODHA), at the trial of the accused murderers of his predecessor, Bishop Juan Gerardi 1. Last June 7 three military men, two of them officers, were convicted in a Guatemala City courtroom of having participated in a military intelligence unit's brutal, politically motivated murder extrajudicial execution was the legal term usedof Bishop Juan Gerardi Conedera, the founder and director of the Guatemalan Archdiocese's Office of Human Rights (ODHA). A parish priest was also convicted as an accomplice in the crime. It was a verdict that most Guatemalans had never expected to hear, at least not yet, and certainly not in relation to this crime. Until June 7, no military officer had ever been found guilty and sentenced to prison in Guatemala for a political murderone commissioned and carried out with the help or acquiescence of a state institution (the military, in particular)even though, over the last quarter-century especially, the military amassed a record as the hemisphere's greatest violator of its citizens' human rights, responsible for the murder of as many as 200,000 unarmed civilians. Also unprecedented was the inclusion in the judges' verdict of an order for a criminal investiga-tion against the likely intellectual authorsi.e., plannersof the crime: the commanding officers of the convicted soldier's military unit, implicated during the trial in Bishop Gerardi's murder. For over three years incidents of intimidation and threat marked the prosecution of the bishop's murderers. Before the trial began over a year ago, a judge, a government prosecuting attorney, and several key witnesses had to go into exile; intruders entered the home of Mynor Melgar, the head of ODHA's legal team, which was helping to prosecute the case, and, in front of his wife and small children, forced him to kneel on his bathroom floor with a pistol held to his head, then told him it was just a warning. Indeed, the trial's scheduled opening in March 2001 had to be postponed after two grenades exploded in Judge Yassmín Barrios's backyard. Throughout the trial, the Public Ministry's prosecuting attorney, Lepoldo Zeissig, his wife, and his infant child were forced to live like protected witnesses in a drug lord's case, and, after the verdict, were finally driven by threats to go into exile. Since the trial, the defense has waged an even more relentless campaign in the press to undermine the verdict. They have accused the judges of corruption and of having yielded to the pressures of foreign governments,[1] and have accused the witnessesmost of them members of the underclass of having sold their testimony for the supposed financial benefits of exile. Capitalizing on much of the confused reporting of a complex and largely circumstantial case, and on the public's cynicism about government institutions generally, the defense lawyers have succeeded in creating a climate of popular opinion that could provide sufficient cover to any judge who might overturn the convictions on appeal. In 1996, when the thirty-six-year civil war was finally ended by UN-brokered peace accords, the UN and the EU, along with the US and several nongovernmental organizations, joined in the enormous task of helping a traumatized Guatemalan society maintain that peace. They intended to build democracy while participating in the country's debate over how to deal with human rights crimes of the past. Successfully bringing the Bishop Gerardi murder case to trial was an important result of this debate. The new president, Alfonso Portillo, who took office in January 2001, had promised in his election campaign to resolve the Gerardi case; however, once he took office he did not even share with the prosecution the results of his government's internal investigations into the crime. Nevertheless, he has tried to take credit for the convictions. However courageous and persistent many Guatemalansespecially the young activists of the bishop's ODHA groupwere in pursuing the case, without the constant monitoring and sometimes direct intrusion of MINUGUA, the UN peacekeeping mission, and pressure from several foreign governments, including the United States, it is doubtful that the trial could have taken place at all. Whatever the final outcome of the forthcoming appeal, it gave Guatemalans for the first time an account of the inner workings of Guatemala's army covert intelligence units, which for decades have spread terror throughout the country. 2.

---BeginMessage--- http://www.madcowprod.com/index21.html Mohamed Atta had connections with the Saudi Royal Family That's established. I'll assume Safire is pretty high up on the Armageddon Cheerleaders list. Mr. Atta Goes to Prague May 9, 2002 By WILLIAM SAFIRE WASHINGTON - In pro football, an adept offensive lineman tricks his opponent in what is called a misdirection play. He blocks his man toward the center; as the defender pushes back hard, the misdirecting lineman gives way, seemingly overcome by the counter-charge - as his running back scoots through the hole near the center left by the defender. A misdirection play is under way in the C.I.A.'s all-out attempt to discredit an account of a suspicious meeting in Prague a year ago. Mohamed Atta, destined to be the leading Sept. 11 suicide hijacker, was reported last fall by Czech intelligence to have met at least once with Saddam Hussein's espionage chief in the Iraqi Embassy - Ahmed al-Ani, a spymaster whom the Czechs were keeping under tight surveillance. If the report proves accurate, a connection would exist between Al Qaeda's murder of 3,000 Americans and Iraq's Saddam. That would clearly be a casus belli, calling for our immediate military response, separate from the need to stop a demonstrated mass killer from acquiring nuclear and germ weapons. Accordingly, high C.I.A. and Justice officials - worried about exposure of the agency's inability to conduct covert operations - desperately want Atta's Saddam connection to be disbelieved. They are telling favored journalists: Shoot this troublesome story down. In March, a Washington Post columnist obliged with: hard intelligence to support the Baghdad-bin Laden connection is somewhere between `slim' and `none.' In April, Newsweek headlined: A spy story tying Saddam to 9-11 is looking very flimsy, and its Michael Isikoff wrote: the much touted `Prague connection' appears to be an intriguing, but embarrassing, mistake. Everybody jumped aboard the C.I.A. bandwagon. The Washington Post's Walter Pincus followed up with a senior administration official's finding that eliminates a once-suggested link between the terrorist attacks and the government of President Saddam Hussein. Time magazine this week labels the Czech report about Atta discredited. The C.I.A.-Justice misdirection is masterly; even White House staff members have bought the Tenet-Chertoff line about serious doubts. The New York Times reported all too accurately that a senior Bush administration official appeared to close the matter, saying F.B.I. and C.I.A. analysts had firmly concluded that no meeting had occurred. Notice how this parade of pooh-poohing never has an official's name attached to it. Rarely do you see such skillful manipulation by anonymous sources whose policy agenda is never revealed to readers. I carry around a clipping of Atta's movements reported in The Times of Oct. 26, 2001, attributed to federal law enforcement officials: On April 2 he was in Virginia Beach. He flew to the Czech Republic on April 8 . . . by April 11, Mr. Atta was back in Florida, renting a car. Unreported (except on www.edwardjayepstein.com, the Web site of my unfazed Angletonian friend) is this week's response to the hidden policy-driven doubters by the Czech interior minister, Stanislav Gross: I believe the counterintelligence services more than journalists. Did his agents have new information that would cast doubt on the Atta meeting they reported with Saddam's paymaster and controller of agents in Prague? He checked with Jeri Ruzek, his intelligence chief: The answer was they did not. Therefore, I consider the matter closed. Whom do you believe - a responsible official on the scene speaking on the record, with no ax to grind, or U.S. spooks who may be covering up a missed signal from Prague about Sept. 11 and are also fearful of revealing their weakness in Iraq? Hard-liners can play this background game, too. A senior Bush administration official not in the protect-Saddam cabal tells me: You cannot say the Czech report about a meeting in 2001 between Atta and the Iraqi is discredited or disproven in any way. The Czechs stand by it and we're still in the process of pursuing it and sorting out the timing and venue. There's no doubt Atta was in Prague in 2000, and a subsequent meeting is at least plausible. Someday, after Baghdad interrogations and tell-all memoirs, we'll learn the truth about any Saddam connection with Al Qaeda. In the meantime, why won't responsible officials take public stands? In the C.I.A.'s misdirection play, which way is the running back headed? http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/09/opinion/09SAFI.html?ex=1021990541ei=1en=bc16d728f2a6017a HOW TO ADVERTISE - For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit our online media kit at

All Rights Reserved. May be reprinted or distributed for non-profit purposes only. May not be posted on an Internet web site without express written authorization.] May 6, 2002, 12:00 PM PDT (FTW) -- President Hugo Chavez is once again at the helm of the Venezuelan government. He returned to power just two days after he was arrested April 12 in the wake of a coup detat organized and perpetrated by political and military opponents. The apparent coup leader, Pedro Carmona, held the office for less than 48 hours. It has been widely reported the U.S. military provided support to anti-Chavez factions during the coup, and State Department and other U.S. officials met with coup organizers in the months and weeks leading to Chavezs ouster. As early as last June, American military attaches had been in touch with members of the Venezuelan military to examine the possibility of a coup, wrote Britains the Guardian newspaper on April 29. Quoting Wayne Madsen, a former Naval and National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence officer who is now an investigative journalist, the paper reported U.S. Navy ships provided signals intelligence and communications jamming support to the Venezuelan military as the coup against Chavez unfolded. The NSA supported the coup using personnel attached to the U.S. Southern Command's Joint Interagency Task Force East (JIATF-E) in Key West, Fla., wrote Madsen and Richard M. Bennett on the Intel Briefing website. NSA's Spanish-language linguists and signals interception operators in Key West; Sabana Seca on Puerto Rico and the Regional Security Operating Center (RSOC) in Medina, Texas also assisted in providing communications intelligence to U.S. military and national command authorities on the progress of the coup d'etat. From eastern Colombia, CIA and U.S. contract military personnel, ostensibly used for counter-narcotics operations, stood by to provide logistics support for the leading members of the coup. Their activities were centered at the Marandua airfield and along the border with Venezuela. Patrol aircraft operating from the U.S. Forward Operating Location (FOL) in Manta, Ecuador also provided intelligence support for the military move against Chavez. Additional USN vessels on a training exercise in the Outer Range of the U.S. Navy's Southern Puerto Rican Operating Area also stood by in the event the coup against Chavez faltered, thus requiring a military evacuation of U.S. citizens in Venezuela. The ships included the aircraft carrier USS George Washington and the destroyers USS Barry, Laboon, Mahan, and Arthur W. Radford. Some of the latter vessels reportedly had NSA Direct Support Units aboard to provide additional signals intelligence support to U.S. Special Operations and intelligence personnel deployed on the ground in close co-operation with the Venezuelan Army and along the Colombian side of the border. On how he learned of these U.S. coup connections, the intelligence analyst told FTW via e-mail, It happened by circumstance that I was in attendance at a military banquet in Tysons Corner, near CIA HQ the night the coup took place, and I merely blended in with some of the active and retired contractor officers who were talking freely about what was occurring. Madsen also has a number of other sources, he said. Chavez has been a thorn in the side of the Bush Administration since he was first elected. Inspired by Latin American populist hero, Simon Bolivar, Chavez won landslide elections in 1998 and 2000 on a platform of social and economic reform. And in addition to his tenacious anti-poverty stance, Chavez has time and again thumbed his nose at U.S. foreign policy. In his drive to maintain independence, he has established friendly relations with a number of countries who have opposed U.S. interests, including Cuba, Iraq and Libya. Contrary to rhetoric out of Washington, Chavez has never been linked to any terrorist operations anywhere. Rather, observers say his alliances are driven by the need for allies in his determined attempts to prevent American corporate interests from determining Venezuelan policies. Chavezs steadfast goal has been to walk a truly independent path and make Venezuelan independence a reality, along with higher standards of living for his people. If successful, say Chavez advocates, he would threaten U.S. economic control all throughout South America and might prompt other nations to follow suit. It is for this reason primarily that U.S. economic interests wish to see him fail. It is also important to factor into the political
[CTRL] Colombian counterdrug officers fired after U.S. money disappears
-Caveat Lector- http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=storyu=/ap/20020509/ap_wo_en_ge/colombia_us_police_scandal_1 Colombian counterdrug officers fired after U.S. money disappears Thu May 9, 5:17 PM ET By JARED KOTLER, Associated Press Writer BOGOTA, Colombia - Six Colombian counternarcotics policemen were fired after the United States discovered money was missing from a U.S.-funded account and suspended some aid as a result, officials said Thursday. The lost funds from the account covering police administrative expenses were a significant amount of money, a U.S. Embassy official told The Associated Press. The scandal touches a police force that has been a longtime U.S. ally and recipient of hundreds of millions of dollars of aid in attempts to eradicate cocaine and heroin in this South American nation. The official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, said the U.S. government has suspended further deposits into the accounts while a criminal investigation proceeds. We are confident that action will be taken against the individuals involved, the U.S. official said. When this has happened we anticipate resuming full support for (antinarcotics police) activities. U.S. and Colombian officials would not say how much money was missing. A report in Bogota's El Tiempo newspaper put the figure as high as $2 million. Counternarcotics police chief Gen. Gustavo Socha confirmed he had fired six members of his staff Friday after reviewing information passed to him by the U.S. Embassy. Socha refused to name the officers or give details on their suspected activities. I am not giving out names or responsibilities, he told a news conference at police headquarters. He said he would not be the fall guy for the corruption scandal. I am not going to resign, he told reporters. According to El Tiempo, about 30 members of the antinarcotics police are under investigation. Those already fired included Col. Salvador Gonzalez Aguilar, a top administrator, and three police majors. The investigation centers on payments to possibly fictitious suppliers of goods to the police force, including water, gasoline, vehicles and parts, El Tiempo reported. Changes in procedure were being put into place to avoid future problems, the U.S. official said. Socha said U.S. deposits into the account were frozen about a month and a half ago. He maintained the suspension was not affecting drug-crop eradication or interdiction operations under Plan Colombia, President Andres Pastrana's U.S.-funded drug-fighting initiative. For example, Socha said police on Wednesday dismantle a slew of jungle drug laboratories in two regions of the country, including one capable of producing more than a ton (600 kilograms) of cocaine a week. Washington has pumped $1.7 billion into Plan Colombia in the past two years, including aid to the police, army and civilian institutions.

[CTRL] 8 year old's marijuana therapy clashes with school rules
-Caveat Lector- 8 year old's marijuana therapy clashes with school rules Copyright © 2002 Scripps Howard News Service Sacramento Bee By WAYNE WILSON, Sacramento Bee (May 9, 2002 5:14 p.m. EDT) - Life just got more complicated for an 8-year-old boy and his mother who have had great success battling his mental disorders with a doctor-approved marijuana therapy. The youngster's medical condition has improved so dramatically that he can now attend public school, but school officials won't permit a school nurse to administer his cannabis capsules and won't let him take the pills himself on campus, the child's mother said. Other kids get their medication, she complained. But the drug her son needs daily at 1 p.m. must be delivered by her personally, off the school grounds, she said. It makes him feel he's not normal, that he's being treated differently. He wonders why he's being targeted. He just wants to be normal, she said. She hopes to persuade school officials to change their minds and allow the capsules to be given on campus. The woman, whose name is being withheld to protect the boy's identity, has been treating her son with medical cannabis for the past year, at home and at the private school he had been attending. But in April, they moved. She presented her son's new school with the required permission slip for students who need medication at school, a form she and the boy's doctor signed. The day before the boy was to report to his new school, however, a message left on the family answering machine informed the mother that her son's recommended medication could not be administered on campus. So, she says, she's been forced to drive a round trip of 26 miles each noontime to remove him from the school grounds, give him his capsules, and return him to class. Vicki Barber, superintendent of the El Dorado County Office of Education, said the state law permits schools to dispense drugs only when they are formally prescribed by a physician. The boy's doctor made a recommendation, and there is a difference, Barber added, between a prescription and a doctor's recommendation. Because the district has a zero-tolerance policy, students are not permitted to have in their possession or to self-administer drugs of any kind, she said. In little more than a year we have gone from enjoying peace and the most prosperous economy in our history, to a nation plunged into war, recession and fear. This is a nation being transformed before our very eyes. http://www.truthout.com Steve Wingate, Webmaster ANOMALOUS IMAGES AND UFO FILES http://www.anomalous-images.com A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Active in Gaza and the West Bank Hamas wants to liberate all of Palestine and establish a radical Islamic state in place of Israel. It has gained notoriety with its assassinations, car bombs and other acts of terrorism. But Sharon had left something out. Israel and Hamas may currently be locked in deadly combat, but, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials, beginning in the late 1970s, Tel Aviv gave direct and indirect financial aid to Hamas over a period of years. Israel aided Hamas directly -- the Israelis wanted to use it as a counterbalance to the PLO, said Tony Cordesman, Middle East analyst for the Center for Strategic Studies. Israel's support for Hamas was a direct attempt to divide and dilute support for a strong, secular PLO by using a competing religious alternative, said a former senior CIA official. According to documents obtained from the Israel-based Institute for Counter Terrorism (ICT) by UPI, Hamas evolved from cells of the Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928. Islamic movements in Israel and Palestine were weak and dormant until after the 1967 Six Day War in which Israel scored a stunning victory over its Arab enemies. After 1967, a great part of the success of the Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood was due to their activities among the refugees of the Gaza Strip. The cornerstone of the Islamic movements success was an impressive social, religious, educational and cultural infrastructure, called Da'wah, that worked to ease the hardship of large numbers of Palestinian refugees, confined to camps, and many of whom were living on the edge. Social influence grew into political influence, first in the Gaza Strip, then on the West Bank, said an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity. According to ICT papers, Hamas was legally registered in Israel in 1978 by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the movements spiritual leader, as an Islamic Association by the name Al-Mujamma Al Islami, which widened its base of supporters and sympathizers by religious propaganda and social work. Funds for the movement came from the oil-producing states and directly and indirectly from Israel, according to U.S. intelligence officials. The PLO was secular and leftist and promoted Palestinian nationalism. Hamas wanted set up a transnational state under the rule of Islam, much like Khomeini's Iran. What took Israeli leaders by surprise was the way the Islamic movements began to surge after the Iranian revolution, after armed resistance to Israel sprang up in southern Lebanon organized by an Iran-backed movement called Hezbollah that bore similitaries to Hamas, these sources said. Nothing stirs up the energy for imitation as much as success, commented one administration expert. A further factor of Hamas' growth was the fact the PLO moved its base of operations to Beirut in the 1980s, leaving the Islamic movements to strengthen their influence in the Occupied Territories as the court of last resort, he said. When the intifada began, the Israeli leadership was further surprised when Islamic groups began to surge in membership and strength. Hamas immediately grew in numbers and violence. The group had always embraced the doctrine of armed struggle, but the doctrine had not been practiced and Islamic groups had not been subjected to suppression the way groups like Fatah had been, according to U.S. government officials. But with the triumph of the Khomeini revolution in Iran, with the birth of Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorism in Lebanon, Hamas began to gain strength in Gaza and then in the West Bank, relying on terror to resist the Israeli occupation. Israel was certainly funding the group at that time. One US intelligence source who asked not to be named, said that not only was Hamas being funded as a counterweight to the PLO, Israeli aid had a more devious purpose: to help identify and channel towards Israeli agents
[CTRL] More Evidence for Global Warming
-Caveat Lector- Another Monster Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctic Ice Shelf By Peter Dykstra CNN Sci-Tech Unit 5-9-2 (CNN) - Satellite images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have detected another in an increasing series of massive icebergs which has broken off the frozen continent of Antarctica. The new iceberg measures roughly 47 miles by 4.6 miles (76 km by 7 km), or almost ten times the area of Manhattan. In recent years, the escalating number of massive icebergs breaking free from the continent has raised concerns that temperatures are steadily warming in the Antarctic region. Such a trend, which many scientists suspect is an early sign of global warming, could have implications for climate changes over much of the planet's surface. Also, many in the shipping industry consider the development a navigation hazard as icebergs drift northward and break up. NOAA monitoring of satellite images from the U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program detected the new berg this week on the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf, a expansive ice area extending out from the continent in the portion of Antarctica closest to New Zealand. The National Ice Center, a Navy, NOAA and Coast Guard inter- agency, tracks the locations of the icebergs, and in recent years has spotted some within 1,000 miles of Capetown, South Africa and Christchurch, New Zealand. Icebergs can take years or longer to drift into open water, a National Ice Center spokesman said. Some bergs remain grounded near the Antarctic coast for decades. Right now C-18 remains close to the shelf and does not pose a risk to navigation. http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/05/09/iceberg.satellite/index.html MainPage http://www.rense.com KALX FM, Berkeley http://kalx.berkeley.edu/kalx.ram ANOMALOUS IMAGES AND UFO FILES http://www.anomalous-images.com A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Chelsea's no sex symbol
She's bright, the daughter of a former president, and attractive (sort of). But Chelsea
Clinton is no sex symbol
Shane Watson
Friday May 10, 2002
The Guardian
We're used to swallowing plenty in the cause of image enhancement. Let's see:
lately there's been the Nicole and Robbie are-they-or-aren't-they moment (As If);
Dido continues to feign as much working class attitude as you can muster when
you're called Florian etc; and Naomi had a recent stab at notching up some
intellectual points with that Bill Clinton photo op.
We know the rules back to front. If a person in the public eye is looking a bit short
on
adult appeal they get themselves nominated Rear of the Year; if they're somewhat
lacking in street cred they take a well-publicised spin round the Notting Hill
Carnival;
and if they need a bit of an all-round leg-up there's always the walkout with Mick
Jagger.
There are currently more officially recognised strategies for manipulating public
profiles than there are people to take advantage of them and just how far the
publicists and marketing people are prepared to go is anyone's guess. Who's to say
that the whole Kylie bottom fixation wasn't dreamt up at a strategy weekend in the
summer of 2000? What if Madonna's people recommended a major geographical
relocation, ideally to Europe, back in the mid-90s. (Memo to senior advisers: see
scope for establishing Madonna as Europe- based mother confessor for visiting
American celebrities.)
However, there is such a thing as an image shift too far and when we get a whiff of
one we tend to be rather unforgiving, as is the case with the attempted sexing up of
Chelsea Clinton.
You know when the celebrity spinners have been thrown a really tough one because
straight off they panic and go in with the big guns. So it was that in January Chelsea
turned up in the front row of the Versace couture show, sandwiched between
Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna and, despite the makeover, cut the appearance of a
Heat magazine raffle winner. Since then she's been photographed in London with
Sophie Dahl, Destiny's Child, Kevin Spacey and pretty much anyone passing through
who counts as A list and fashionable.
Now the rebranding is supposedly complete with the publication of Vanity Fair's June
issue containing a celebration of Chelsea, the sex symbol and the new JFK Jr no
less. Chelsea is 22, apparently bright, certainly an Oxford graduate student and the
daughter of an ex-president, but one thing she emphatically ain't is a sex symbol.
This is not to say that she isn't attractive - although if she is then it's in that
special
way that people claim Camilla Parker Bowles to be, ie, only discernible in the flesh .
But to suggest she is the embodiment of our collective sexual fantasies is a bit like
calling her dad a moral giant.
It may seem harsh to jeer at the new improved Chelsea but what the hell. The rot
has to stop somewhere and when glossies start elevating women to the rank of sex
symbol just because they've got a couple of bodyguards and an in with Donatella,
that's when it's time to address the difference between power, connections and sex
appeal.
This one is surprisingly simple. Where men are concerned a liberal amount of power
and connections does magically convert into sex appeal in nine out of 10 cases, with
or without the traditional bonuses of reasonable looks and charm (see Bernie
Ecclestone's success with the opposite sex, or Bill's, for that matter).
Women, on the other hand, can be as well set up as Christina Onassis and still fail to
ignite the necessary interest (you may remember that Christina resorted to paying
her ex for sex - something that not even David Mellor was reduced to). There are, of
course, exceptions, but on the whole you'll find that being boring, pompous, sexually
inadequate and plagued with halitosis is no obstacle to the love of a focused woman,
whereas even the hint of a hairy chin is too much for most male fortune seekers.
In the same way a male sex symbol needs to be attractive but his personality
shouldn't ever be an issue. Female sex symbols, though, have to be fabulously sexy
to both men and women, and therefore gorgeous, and pretty much beyond reproach.
This explains why female sex symbols are in such short supply and Nigella is in such
demand. No one pretends that Gwyneth is a sex symbol (too whiney) or Madonna
(too sinewy) or Victoria Beckham (please). So why, pray, Chelsea? And if the need to
identify a new sex symbol among the ranks of the young, free and spectacularly well
connected is so overwhelming, then of course it has to be Zara Phillips.

House Panel Oks Extra Aid To Israel
Friday May 10, 2002 6:30 AM
WASHINGTON (AP) - A Republican-led House committee approved $200 million in
aid for Israel on Thursday despite earlier objections by the Bush administration.
Unable to head off the move, Secretary of State Colin Powell persuaded the House
Appropriations Committee's GOP leaders to add $50 million in humanitarian help for
Palestinians.
Both provisions were approved by voice vote.
``The secretary believes he has no problem with this amendment, but it would be
much more useful to the diplomatic efforts of the administration if it were balanced''
to include the Palestinian funds, said Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., chairman of the
Appropriations panel's foreign operations subcommittee, who spoke to Powell.
The provision, which had strong bipartisan support, was the latest congressional
show of solidarity for Israel despite administration warnings against provoking Arab
nations.
In the weeks leading up to the committee's debate, administration officials urged
lawmakers to delay any effort to provide additional aid to Israel. The country already
is the biggest recipient of U.S. foreign assistance, at $2.8 billion.
The language providing the money was sponsored by Kolbe and Rep. Jack Kingston,
R-Ga., and strongly backed by House GOP Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas. It underlined
the ideological support Israel has among conservative Republicans and a reluctance
by GOP lawmakers to let Democrats alone lead an election-year effort likely to
please many Jewish voters.
Even so, Rep. Sonny Callahan, R-Ala., said the money was only being provided
because of ``political ramifications.''
He said ``the Israel lobby ... comes to Washington and says we need to take
advantage of this and we need to raise $200 million for Israel. Vote your
convictions.''
The panel met amid reports that Israel was massing troops and tanks at its border
with the Gaza Strip, two days after 15 Israelis died in the latest Palestinian suicide
bombing.
The money was added to a package of defense and counterterrorism spending for
the remaining five months of the federal fiscal year, bringing its price to $29.4
billion.
After a day prolonged by House procedural votes and a break to watch a
subcommittee appearance by actress Julia Roberts, completion of the overall bill
was set for next Tuesday.
The initial House version of the measure cost $29.8 billion, about 10 percent over
President Bush's $27.1 billion request. Republicans shrank the bill a bit in an effort
to
woo conservative support.
The committee also:
-Killed a provision that would have doubled the $2.50 per flight segment tax paid by
airline passengers to help foot federal security costs.
-Put tighter restrictions on $100 million Bush had requested for the Defense
Department to give to U.S. allies in the fight against terrorism. Now, that money could
not be spent without approval of Congress' Appropriations committees.
-Approved by 38-18 a DeLay amendment barring the United States from cooperating
with a permanent international war crimes tribunal that is to start its work in July.
-Voted 32-31 for a provision aimed at pressuring Bush to release $34 million for
overseas family planning programs that he has declined to spend.
Congress approved nonbinding resolutions a week ago expressing support for Israel
following futile administration efforts to forestall any formal congressional
statements
on the violence in the Middle East.
An effort to add funds for Israel is also likely in the Senate, which is expected to
write
its own anti-terrorism legislation after the House approves its version, perhaps next
week.
Asked about the extra aid for Israel, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said,
``We're taking a look at that now. Clearly, the president has supported and does
support aid for Israel.''
Kolbe said the aid to Israel was for the military, though aides later said it was
economic assistance that can be used for security items like police.
He said the money for the Palestinians would be funneled through the U.S. Agency
for International Development, not the Palestinian Authority headed by Yasser Arafat.
Kolbe said the money would go to humanitarian purposes such as providing food,
health care and housing in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The overall bill contained $15.8 billion for the Reserves, National Guard and other
defense programs; $5.8 billion to bolster safety at airports, dams, nuclear weapons
plants and other domestic security initiatives; and $5.5 billion to help New York
rebuild from the Sept. 11 attacks.
It also contains $200 million to help the global fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and
malaria.

[CTRL] Writing on the wall
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.hsibaltimore.com/ea2002/ea_020429.shtml }}}Begin Writing on the Wall Imagine dropping by your favorite health food store to find it boarded up and out of business. So you go around to your local drug mart to pick up some vitamin C, but the only dosage on the shelf is ridiculously low. The druggist informs you that 60 mg is now the maximum dosage available without a prescription. So if you've been taking a mega dosage of vitamin C to help fight heart disease or build up your immunity against cancer, you'll have to find a doctor willing to prescribe that dosage - you're no longer free to decide on your own how much of this natural vitamin you want to take. Sounds like a nightmare? It gets worse. Imagine that all of this is the result of new legislation imposed by lawmakers with direct ties to pharmaceutical companies - powerful companies that will use the law to create an enormous new source of profits. Now that's a real nightmare. But what makes it truly nightmarish is that, incredibly, it will soon become a reality in the United Kingdom and most of Europe - if the global pharmaceutical industry has its way. Outlawing prevention On March 13th the European Parliament - a 626- member legislative body representing the 15 European Union countries - passed the EU Directive on Dietary Supplements, which classifies vitamins as medical drugs rather than food supplements. The Directive grants a transition period of three years for vitamin supplements already on the market. But in 2005, every EU country will be required to implement the Directive. As it currently stands, in just three years a wide range of natural remedies will be banned across most of Europe, making as many as 300 ingredients - including chromium picolinate, yeast, lysine, and selenium - illegal for over-the-counter sale. Other supplements that remain in stores will contain very low dosage amounts - not enough to provide any real therapeutic value. It's almost like they're passing a law against prevention. So not only are the pharmaceutical companies eliminating competition from natural products for treating illnesses, they are essentially forcing greater need for prescription products for citizens of the EU. After all, without prevention, where will people be forced to turn when they get even the slightest bit ill? To physicians who will prescribe mainstream pharmaceuticals or super-strength, prescription- only vitamins supplied by - guess who - the Pfizers, Mercks, and Bayers of the world. Nothing strange about these bedfellows To make things even worse, a number of European Union Commissioners have direct links to international pharmaceutical companies. For instance, a prominent EU Commissioner, Frits Bolkenstein of the Netherlands, is also a member of the supervisory board of the second largest pharmaceutical company in the world - Merck, Sharp and Dohme. The blatant pharmaceutical industry influence on this directive would be laughable if the consequences weren't so great. In a smooth double-speak that's almost frightening, the EU Directive states: In order to ensure a high level of protection for consumers and facilitate their choice, the products that will be put on the market must be safe and bear adequate and appropriate labeling. The good news is that the consumers are not buying it. Protection? To facilitate their choice? More than 600 million people read that and shouted back a resounding, No! In what is believed to be the largest global online petition ever, a staggering 604 million people (to date) have added their names, demanding continued free access to natural remedies. Lend your voice - no matter where you live I have signed the petition and I encourage you to do so too if you believe the availability of natural supplements should not be controlled by the international pharmaceutical industry. Anyone can sign the petition - you don't have to be a citizen of a European Union nation to add your name - and you can find more information and read the petition at www.vitamins-for-all.org. This web site was created by Dr. Matthias Rath, a leading researcher in the field of natural treatments for cancer, and one of the most prominent campaigners against the EU Directive And for those of you who think this is a European issue - that this couldn't happen here - consider this: the United States and the European Union are each other's largest trade and investment partners. In 2000, two-way trade in goods and services between the EU and the US totaled more than $557 billion. With economic ties this deep, any European law that gives the global pharmaceutical industry such sweeping power over the health choices of millions, will have global effects. Once they've conquered Europe, how long before they set their sights on the US marketplace? Just look at recent directives from the FDA; it's already happening. The EU Directive is not yet law. Our HSI associates in London believe that by the time
[CTRL] Say no to a worldwide ban on vitamin therapies!
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.vitamins-for-all.org/english/default_vote.html }}}Begin REFERENDUM FOR NATURAL THERAPIES! Say no to a worldwide ban on vitamin therapies! To the heads of state and governments of the nations of the Earth! To decision-makers at the UNO and the UN- suborganisations! To the members of the Codex Alimentarius Commission! To members of the European Parliament! To members of parliaments all over the world! To all political decision-makers worldwide! To the representatives of my interests and all political decision makers. It is with great concern that I have learnt that, under pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, vitamin therapies and other natural treatments are to be banned for millions of people in Europe and throughout the world. To protect the interests of the billion-pound industry in purely symptom-oriented and often dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, my right of access to effective vitamin therapies and natural treatments and also my fundamental right to health and well-being are being seriously violated. The European Commission's Directive on Dietary Supplements and the UN's Codex Alimentarius plans solely serve the pharmaceutical industry's interest in artificially sustaining its billion-pound markets in now superfluous pharmaceutical drugs. Obviously the pharmaceutical industry lobby does not shy away from the abuse of the highest political bodies in the world in pursuit of its unscrupulous aims. These attacks on the human right to health come at a time when ever more widespread diseases and public health problems can be successfully combated by vitamin therapies and other natural treatments free of side- effects. I myself am interested in natural health. I am aware that vitamin deficiency is the main cause of the most widespread health problems of our time. I also know that heart attack, stroke, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and other public health problems could be reduced to a tiny fraction of their current frequency. The saving of millions of human lives is dependent upon one single factor: how quickly can the live- saving information about the health benefits of vitamins and other natural therapies be spread. This makes all legislative efforts to censor and ban the spreading of natural health information knowledge all the more unethical and contemptible. According to the statistics of the UNO, two billion people suffer worldwide from vitamin deficiency - both in industrialized and in developing countries. In light of these figures it is irresponsible for this same global organization to allow itself to be abused by the pharmaceutical industry lobby in its aim of blocking the dissemination of this vital information. The spurious argument that these censorship laws are to protect consumers from the alleged side-effects of vitamins is a lie. Worldwide, several hundred thousand people die every year from the harmful side-effects of pharmaceutical drugs - but not a single person has ever come to any harm as a result of vitamin therapies. Worse still, the deadly side-effects of cholesterol-blockers and other pharmaceutical drugs have become the fourth- most common cause of death in the industrialized world - surpassed only by heart attack, cancer and stroke. The planned laws banning vitamin therapies and other side-effect free natural health treatments are not improving my health, but only of the billion-dollar business with disease. If you, as a political decision-taker, support these laws, you are knowingly risking the unnecessary deaths of millions of people. I am appalled to find out that these censorship plans are to be unscrupulously forced through on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry whilst the war against terror is making all the headlines, without any public discussion and against the express will of the people! I condemn the fact that neither the EU Commission nor the so-called Codex Alimentarius Commission is an elected body or is subject to any form of democratic control. It is significant that this same EU Commission was recently dismissed by the European Parliament for corruption and for taking bribes from multinational companies. I realize that I have to take responsibility for my own health. My health and the lives of millions of my fellow human beings are more important than the share prices of a handful of pharmaceutical industry speculators and their political lackeys. By signing this I am taking part in the largest referendum of all time and call on you, as a political decision-maker, to: Stop the Codex Alimentarius and the EU Directive on dietary supplements, as well as all related censorship laws on national and international level! Commit yourself to giving all people in the world free and unrestricted access to life- saving information about the health benefits of vitamin therapies and other natural treatments. Commit yourself to the fight to make natural health a fundamental right enshrined in your country's constitution

Some of them world leaders in developing weapons-grade biological plagues. Others the best in figuring out how to stop millions from dying because of biological weapons. Still others, experts in the theory of bioterrorism. Throw in a few Russian defectors, a few nervy U.S. biotech companies, a deranged assassin or two, a bit of Elvis, a couple of Satanists, a subtle hint of espionage, a big whack of imagination, and the plot is complete, if a bit reminiscent of James Bond. The first three died in the space of just over a week in November. Benito Que, 52, was an expert in infectious diseases and cellular biology at the Miami Medical School. Police originally suspected that he had been beaten on Nov. 12 in a carjacking in the medical school's parking lot. Strangely enough, though, his body showed no signs of a beating. Doctors then began to suspect a stroke. Just four days after Dr. Que fell unconscious came the mysterious disappearance of Don Wiley, 57, one of the foremost microbiologists in the United States. Dr. Wiley, of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Harvard University, was an expert on how the immune system responds to viral attacks such as the classic doomsday plagues of HIV, ebola and influenza. He had just bought tickets to take his son to Graceland the following day. Police found his rental car on a bridge outside Memphis, Tenn. His body was later found in the Mississippi River. Forensic experts said he may have had a dizzy spell and have fallen off the bridge. Just five days after that, the world-class microbiologist and high- profile Russian defector Valdimir Pasechnik, 64, fell dead. The pathologist who did the autopsy, and who also happened to be associated with Britain's spy agency, concluded he died of a stroke. Dr. Pasechnik, who defected to the United Kingdom in 1989, played a huge role in Russian biowarfare and helped to figure out how to modify cruise missiles to deliver the agents of mass biological destruction. The next two deaths came four days apart in December. Robert Schwartz, 57, was stabbed and slashed with what police believe was a sword in his farmhouse in Leesberg, Va. His daughter, who identifies herself as a pagan high priestess, and several of her fellow pagans have been charged. Dr. Schwartz was an expert in DNA sequencing and pathogenic micro- organisms, who worked at the Center for Innovative Technology in Herndon, Va. Four days later, Nguyen Van Set, 44, died at work in Geelong, Australia, in a laboratory accident. He entered an airlocked storage lab and died from exposure to nitrogen. Other scientists at the animal diseases facility of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization had just come to fame for discovering a virulent strain of mousepox, which could be modified to affect smallpox. Then in February, the Russian microbiologist Victor Korshunov, 56, an expert in intestinal bacteria of children around the world,
[CTRL] Hear Chuck Schlund On The Radio - [Sat. 5/11/02]
-Caveat Lector- Subject: Radio station to interview implant victims From: Chuck Schlund [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Date: May 09, 2002 20:16 PDT I received a call yesterday or the day before from a radio station asking me to talk to them on the air this Saturday about my lawsuit over the injection of me with implants and the torture of me with those implants. The Radio Station was 1510 KFNN and they wanted to know if they could call me this Saturday night at 10:00 PM while they were on the air and talk to me about what I knew and what has happened to me. They called on my cell phone and I told them sure I would love to talk to them and gave them my home phone number. They told me that the show would be from Chicago and broadcast all across America and that they would call me this Saturday at 10:00 PM and interview me. I will be here and waiting to talk to them. I was going to San Francisco this weekend but I will put that off for another week. I believe that the government will block my phone lines and not allow the call to go through. They have done this in the past many times when I would call the FBI or corruption at the DEA, the Justice Department or Ted Kennedy's office of other places like Western Union when my ex-wife tried to frame me as not having paid any child support. The FBI got me my records of my payments and I proved in court that I had paid all of the child support and that she had lied. She had been ordered by the DEA to frame me. (Nothing happened to her because she was protected and could commit perjury under the protection of the Justice Department.) The Radio Station may decide from higher ups not to call me to continue the cover up of the governments crimes. I do not know. The government likes people to say things that are not really correct but hates people like me who know the truth. If they call me as they said they would I will be on the air this Saturday at 10:00 Phoenix time. Chuck Subject: RE: Radio station to interview implant victims From: Wes Thomas Date: May 09, 2002 20:42 PDT Chuck, good move. That would apparently be the Erskine Overnight show http://www.kfnn.com/programs/erskine.asp, which is syndicated in over 60 markets. We can listen in at: http://www.kfnn.com/listen.asp. The show airs from 11pm MST Saturday to 4am MST Sunday. List members with similar experiences may want to call in. Subject: My daily torture report to the Dept. of Justice. From: Chuck Schlund [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Date: May 09, 2002 23:32 PDT Today's date is 9 May 2002. The time is 10:18. The Justice Department continues to allow the torture of me to protect those that I was a witness against for drug running, murder, the fixing of the elections of the United States and other crimes. Today's torture was a typical day. Last night they wouldn't allow me to go to bed or to sleep until late. They knew that I had to be up early for the carpet-cleaning guys before I went to work. Anytime I try to take a nap I'm tortured with horrible pulses of sounds or other modes that feel like electrical shocks in my left ear and high pitched wines or other modes in my right ear. This is done to deprive me of rest or sleep and is only stopped after 12:00 AM. If I try to sleep before then I'm tortured to limit or deprive me of sleep. During the night after they allowed me to go to sleep or at least put me in a mode that appears to be sleep they woke me up as they do most nights for my nightly torture sessions. As soon as they woke me up by screaming in my ears with horrible sounds they then increased power and tortured me with the sounds making it feel like they were breaking my eardrums. The pulsed horrible sounds are deafening at the levels used and have damaged my hearing permanently. They then allowed me to return to sleep and again turned down the sounds and pains. Lately I'm usually kept in bed until late and not even allowed to wakeup until 8:00 AM. This morning they woke me up at about 6:00 AM or 6:30 AM and began my morning torture session. First they started to make sounds in my ears and steadily increased the power if I would move or even open my eyes. As they slowly increased the power they also gave me Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to disable me better. They finally forced me out of bed under torture. They then turned down the torture, which is unusual for the morning. They then allowed me to help the carpet guys as they did the house. My daughter finally showed up and I left for work. On my way to work the torture was reduced and very light. I worked at Glendale Iron repairing a machine, an air conditioner and some lights. While I was at Glendale Iron the torture was reduced to very low power levels for filming to document that I was not under torture. The torture now days is always reduced at Glendale Iron and then I'm punished as soon as I leave. It appears that the government has planted drugs there to frame me as they have done in the past.

[CTRL] Newsweek Exposes Use of Child Soldiers Abroad, But Turns Blind Eye to U.S.
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: FAIR [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 5:18 PM To: FAIR-L Subject: Newsweek Exposes Use of Child Soldiers Abroad, But Turns Blind Eye to U.S. FAIR-L Fairness Accuracy In Reporting Media analysis, critiques and activism ACTION ALERT: Newsweek Exposes Use of Child Soldiers Abroad, But Turns Blind Eye to U.S. May 8, 2002 Newsweek's May 13 issue features a story about the use of child soldiers and how the international community can roll back the growing exploitation of children in war, but does not mention the United States' own recruitment of child soldiers, nor the U.S.'s obstruction of international efforts to curb the practice. The centerpiece of the article, Voices of the Children: 'We beat and killed people ', is a series of heart-wrenching interviews with four child veterans from Sierra Leone. Newsweek presents the boys' stories as part of its coverage of the United Nations' Special Session on Children, a conference where the U.N. will address how to muster the will to enforce longstanding international conventions and three new resolutions on children and armed conflict. Graphic and passionately written, the article seems meant to raise awareness about how kids have become the cannon fodder of choice, and describes the experiences of child soldiers of Sierra Leone as a lesson in the unthinkable inhumanity of those who coerced them into combat. The moral outrage that Newsweek brings to the story of child soldiers makes its omission of the U.S. role all the more bizarre. The U.S. is one of only two countries in the world-- the other being Somalia-- not to have ratified the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the primary legal instrument available to stop the use of child soldiers. Along with the Geneva Conventions, the CRC makes it illegal for militaries to enlist people under the age of 15. Newsweek doesn't mention the CRC by name, but it is certainly among the measures the magazine is referring to when it says the U.N. must muster the will to enforce existing laws. Even though it has not ratified the CRC, the U.S. has worked to water down an Optional Protocol to the Convention which raises the minimum age for combat service to 18. Originally, the Protocol sought to raise the age for voluntary recruitment to 18 as well, a move endorsed by human and children's rights groups as crucial for building a real global ban on child combat. But the U.S. recruits soldiers at 17. After six years of heavy pressure from the U.S. and U.K. (which also recruits minors), the Protocol was negotiated to allow militaries recruit children as young as 16 (London Times, 2/13/02). None of this information is included in the Newsweek article. A table and map accompanying the article show where the young soldiers are, listing 36 countries that are currently using people under the age of 18 as soldiers in combat. By not including countries that recruit minors, but are not currently using them in combat, Newsweek created a graphic that excluded the U.S. and the U.K., countries which also in fact have young soldiers. The U.S.'s attempts to weaken the CRC have become a key issue for rights groups (Human Rights Watch press release, 5/7/02), yet the only time the Newsweek article mentions the U.S. is to note that the chief prosecutor for the Sierra Leone War Crimes Tribunal is American. The magazine's silence on the U.S. role becomes most deafening, however, as the article wraps up by recommending that the West make aid to the developing world conditional on compliance with child rights conventions. Finally, writes Newsweek, the victimized societies need to look inward, to ask themselves hard questions about what they have done to encourage the treatment of people as commodities. A nation like Sierra Leone will cheat itself if it expects foreigners alone to deliver a cure. It's too bad Newsweek's coverage won't prompt American readers to ask those hard questions about their own government's role in the exploitation of child soldiers. ACTION: Please encourage Newsweek to return to the important issue of child soldiers, but next time with an article that tells the whole story, including the U.S. government's role in the controversy.

[CTRL] Letter to the IDF chief from an Israel army dissenter
-Caveat Lector- http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/comment/0,10551,710726,00.html Haim Weiss, who was once glad to serve in the Israeli army, tells his defence secretary why he will not go to the West Bank Monday May 6, 2002 The Guardian Dear Ben Eliezer I must put in writing the reasons that have led me to one of the most difficult decisions of my life - to refuse the call for reserve duty in the areas of Judea and Samaria [the West Bank], and the Gaza Strip. This decision was difficult for two reasons. First and foremost is a matter of principle: I believe that living in a democracy offers equal parts privilege and obligation, and that it is my duty to adhere to the decisions made by majority rule, barring exceptional circumstances. The second reason is that over many years of reserve duty, I have not only served a very important cause, but also formed close bonds with the soldiers in my company and battalion. It is extremely difficult to imagine them serving on dangerous missions while I sit at home. Despite this, the current situation leaves me no choice but to refuse. The citizen's conscience provides a critical foundation for the checks and balances inherent in a democracy. Israel has done more than grant citizens full rights to protest against injustices. By including the concept of a clearly illegal command in the code of military law, it has obliged its soldiers to refuse to carry out orders that are immoral or opposed to the values on which a democracy is based. As I see it, this concept means that when a soldier is issued with a command opposed to his moral values, he must refuse to obey it, report the event, and ensure that such orders will not be repeated. A soldier who does not do so cannot escape being held morally responsible by claiming that he only carried out orders, but can expect to be tried for his actions. This law indicates that the military and the state see the soldier as an autonomous moral being, who must carry out commands only if they pass his moral scrutiny. The most critical question that arises is what exactly is an illegal command? What is immoral as opposed to just inconvenient or unpleasant, and into which category does the current situation in the territories fall? An order to fire on a child standing before a roadblock is clearly illegal. But if the order is to shoot above his head to chase him from the roadblock, does the emotional damage the shooting causes the child make the order illegal? Is it illegal to continually enter Palestinian citizens' homes in the middle of the night? Is it illegal to prevent the free movement of Palestinian citizens? Aren't the searches, the humiliation, our many mistakes, an indication that our treatment of the Palestinian population under our rule is clearly illegal? Military law does not define what a clearly illegal order is, but leaves it to the soldier. My interpretation of the law does not limit it to orders involving attacking, killing or injuring people. Rather, it includes any command that, when obeyed, leads to humiliating human beings, robbing them of self-respect, and depriving them of the basic human rights protected under the UN declaration of human rights, a document signed by Israel. I used to believe there was a purpose to my presence in the territories. I believed the solutions I offered would prevent problems. Today, I believe my presence cannot solve those problems and that the orders issued are illegal because they deprive the Palestinian population of its basic rights and freedoms. Prohibiting Palestinians from travelling along roads without providing alternative routes, the never-ending delays at roadblocks, the many hours required to travel short distances, the humiliation, the destruction of homes, the incessant searches, the need to aim weapons at innocent women and children - all these actions turn the Israeli Defence Force into an immoral occupying force, and in these I refuse to participate. These actions on the part of the IDF provide no protection to Israel. They protect only the settlements built on conquered territory, where Israel has no right to establish settlements. The friction with the Palestinian population is caused by the need to provide settlers with freedom of movement, not by the need to prevent suicide bombers entering Israeli territory. As long as Israel continues to hold the settlements, it will be forced to act immorally toward the Palestinian population. In addition to the great harm we are causing daily to Palestinians, we damage ourselves as a society. Our society is based on moral precepts in Judaism, which states that loved is a person created in God's image. Instead, we are raising a generation of violent young people immune to pain and human suffering, a generation who don't see in the Palestinian a human being, only part of a mass to be avoided and feared. We are raising a generation that stops pregnant women, old people and children from getting to hospital. I am

[CTRL] Chuck Schlund's Credibility
-Caveat Lector- If any members of this list have *any* doubts about Chuck Schlund's credibility, here is something for you to consider: Chuck wrote: The United States was to be broken into 5 countries. The first division was to be Alaska. Alaska was rich in natural resources and low in population numbers. The resources were so large that they were going to offer the people a check each month in exchange for voting to secede from the United States. In the files we had were the plans to put the governor into office in Alaska and then use him to run the CIA covert operation to split Alaska off of the United States in a separatist movement. Alaska was to be the first state split off the United States in the break up of the United States and was to be kept out of the coming war so its resources would remain mostly intact to be plundered later after the war. (I stopped this while I was working with the FBI). I did a little investigating and came up with the follwing information: Alaskan Independence Party -- http://www.akip.org/intro.html Although the origins of the Alaskan Independence Party, or AIP, date back to the early 1970s, it wasn't until 1984 that it became an officially recognized party by the State of Alaska. Advocating an Alaska First policy focused around the land and resource development, the AIP has since emerged as one of the most significant state-level third parties operating in the late 20th century. SNIP Ideologically, the AIP is considered to be a hybrid of conservative Republicanism, populism and libertarianism. Among the issues advocated by the party: the direct popular election of the state attorney general and all judges, the right to keep and bear arms, the privatization of government services, the right to home schooling by parents, and a constitutional amendment to ban property taxes. SNIP One of the key events in the AIP's history came seven weeks before election day in 1990, when the Party's gubernatorial nominee John Lindauer, a newspaper publisher and former Chancellor of the University of Alaska, and his running-mate Jerry Ward abruptly withdrew from the campaign -- purportedly after the illness of Lindauer's wife. Vogler and Republican State Senator Jack Coghill maneuvered to offer the nomination to Walter J. (Wally) Hickel, a Republican who had served a half-term as governor from 1966 to 1968 before being named as Secretary of the Interior by President Nixon. Hickel accepted the AIP nomination and filed his candidacy papers a mere hour before the official deadline. In the election, Hickel joined Lowell Weicker of Connecticut that year as one of only six third party candidates in U.S. history to ever win a governor's race. + http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/4968/homeland.html Independence and Union Movements People have the right to live wherever in the Universe they wish to live, no matter the location of that place. Borders should be no barrier to the freedom of movement of citizens of Earth. Whether individual people change the country they live in through immigration, voting blocs change their government through democratic vote, or large regions or groups of people decide to secede from the parent nation, this right is unalienable. On my secession page I have put links to movements, information, and articles that support or give information on creating new nations out of old (sometimes old nations out of new); getting independence or recognition for a certain group of people in a nation. SNIP Alaska - The Alaskan Independence Party wants a referendum for Alaska like the one that they were entitled to in 1958. This time the referendum would have the option of Alaska becoming an independent nation.

But such movements in the United States conjure up images of Republic of Texas fanatics, radical redneck racists, and armed neo-Nazi militiamen. Thanks largely to Abraham Lincoln, secession has been viewed as a political pariah since the War for Southern Independence.

---BeginMessage--- WALLOPED DOLLAR TO ACCELERATE GOLD By Thom Calandra CBSMarketWatch.com May 10, 2002 SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- The possession of gold, Thomas Bailey Aldridge once said, has ruined fewer men than the lack of it. This column isn't about Aldridge, the American short-story writer who quit school at age 13 to write for 19th-century magazines. I just put it there so you can turn away from this column now if you don't want to hear my view of markets in coming years -- a view that essentially is the gold story with some dollar-trimming and a swollen current account deficit for good measure. A month from now, a year from now, five years from now -- you choose the timing, because I won't -- the price of an ounce of gold will be three to six times what it is now. By then, the world's money flows will have stopped way short of the fiber-optic fork in the ocean that leads to New York. By then, the euro will be worth a ton more than 91 cents. So will the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. By then, overseas investors long will have stopped hoarding U.S. securities in their digitized central banks or their frosted chalets. (As I write this, the flow of fur-ner money into dollar-denominated assets is falling sharply, to well less than half the average monthly flow of $44 billion we saw last year.) The world's battered economies, the ones that rely on metals and other natural resources for their livelihoods, like Ghana, Australia, South Africa, Chile, Canada, even Russia, will be less battered. We'll be seeing more folk heroes from the top bullion producers, like South Africa's Nelson Mandela this week, ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, or listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Gold Fields' Chris Thompson presents the bullish story for bullion. By then, the paper wealth that is the industrialized world's stock and trade will be more paper and less wealth. America's current account deficit, the best way to judge this country's money flows, already will have surpassed an annualized $450 billion. (See definition below of the ticking time bomb called the current account deficit.) There are some who believe that when the red ink in the U.S. current account surpasses 5 percent of gross domestic product, all heck will break loose in financial markets. Stephen Roach at Morgan Stanley is on record saying a hard landing for the dollar, and with it the boatloads of U.S.-linked securities in foreign portfolios, may be inevitable. A crisis of confidence is not inconceivable, Roach writes. (Six or nine months from now, you can go back to Roach's report and long for the good old days, when a euro was worth just 91 cents.) I submit that with that swollen account deficit and the dollar's decline will come (has come and is coming) an explosive move up in the price of gold. The $310 metal, up almost 20 percent this year, one day will sell for a price that reflects a cascading American balance sheet. With U.S. households living off their spree of credit-card and mortgage debt, the perpetual stock market and housing market bubbles in this country, and in most of the world's major cities, will hiss, hiss, hiss. In coming weeks, I hope to bring you several high-profile money managers and (of course) mining executives who state better than I do the case for, as Tocqueville Gold Fund (TGLDX) manager John Hathaway put it to me, a big number for the gold price. Whether that big number comes from a sinking dollar, or the $63 billion of gold derivatives on the books of U.S. banks and trust companies (as of Dec. 31), or creeping inflation, shocking deflation or, Lord help us, bigger and more deadly exploding mailboxes, remains to be seen. Ian McAvity, the longtime newsletter editor whose Deliberation on World Markets provides in my view some of the hardest-to-find historical charts, money flows and hard data on international gold mining equities and gold and silver bullion, says the gold-price trigger may be days or weeks away. McAvity, who keeps paper files of every chart, stat and mining press release, stretching back 25 years, points to a pending rush by hedged gold miners to reduce the amount of gold they are forward-selling. As Gold Fields Ltd.'s (GFI) top executives, Chris Thompson and Ian Cockerill, put it this week from New York, the forward-sale of gold is a source of supply in a falling gold market, spurred by bullion banks and central banks lending their gold reserves. But in the current market, where gold relentlessly sets new highs, the scramble to close forward-sale contracts -- to de-hedge and go to the spot market for bullion -- is a source of potent demand in a rising gold market. South Africa's Gold Fields and several other large miners, such as Newmont Mining (NEM), have virtually no hedged sales of gold. In other words, they sell an ounce of gold for whatever it sells for in the spot market. Andy Smith, the London-based precious metals analyst at Mitsui Co. whose work in

-Caveat Lector- From http://www.ahram.org.eg/weekly/2002/585/re63.htm }}}Begin Al-Ahram Weekly Online 9 - 15 May 2002 Issue No.585 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Current issue | Previous issue | Site map 'Freedom, democracy and Israel' What Israeli atrocities? On Capitol Hill, it's only 'us' against 'them'. Thomas Gorgussian and Anayat Durrani, in Washington, report on the latest US-Israel love-in In a frenzied show of unquestioning bias, the US Congress has passed two resolutions affirming its solidarity with Israel. Both resolutions were passed with clear majorities, despite concerns by President George W Bush's administration that the resolutions may adversely affect Middle East peace efforts. The Democratic-led Senate, in a 94-2 vote, passed a resolution that effectively equated Israel with the United States in the war on terrorism, describing the two countries as fighting a common struggle against terrorism. The resolution condemns Palestinian suicide bombings and justifies Israeli incursions into Palestinian towns and refugee camps as being necessary steps to provide security to its people by dismantling the terrorist infrastructure in the Palestinian areas. The Senate resolution was co-sponsored by Joseph Lieberman, Democrat-Connecticut, and Gordon Smith, Republican-Oregon. Lieberman said the resolution places the Senate on record in support of Israel's right to self- defence. He continued, Israel has been under siege ... from a systematic and deliberate campaign of suicide and homicide attacks by terrorists. Their essence is identical to the attacks on our country of 11 September. Lieberman in recent weeks has demanded that the administration adopt a position characterised by moral clarity and follow Bush's anti- terrorism doctrine, which was applied in Afghanistan, in the case of Israel too. As President Bush said, 'You are either with us or you are with the terrorists.' Many observers of the antics on Capitol Hill believe that members of Congress are feeling pressure more than ever in the case of issues related to Israel. This pressure is not just from Jewish constituents, but from evangelical Christians as well. That's why you see these [pro-Israel] resolutions, a Republican aide said. Only senators Ernest Hollings, Democrat-South Carolina, and Robert Byrd, Democrat-West Virginia, voted against the resolution. Byrd said the resolution was a mistake and could inflame both sides instead of promoting peace. He called the resolution ill-timed, ill- advised and one-sided, and said it puts all the blame on the Palestinians and asks nothing from the Israelis. Where are the demands that Israel withdraw from Palestinian lands and cooperate in the establishment of a Palestinian state? Where is the denunciation of the destruction of homes and water lines and roads and basic infrastructure in Jenin and Nablus and elsewhere in the West Bank? Where is the expression of support for humanitarian and reconstruction aid to the innocent Palestinian victims of Israel's incursion into the West Bank? The resolution that the House of Representatives passed minutes later is longer and uses stronger language than the Senate resolution, condemning what it called the Palestinian campaign of terrorism and accusing Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat of supporting terrorism. The Republican-led House of Representatives passed the resolution by a 352-21 margin, with 29 abstaining. The resolution also calls for an increase to the already $3 billion in military aid the US annually gives to Israel -- already the largest recipient of US aid. The resolution contained strong words for Arafat, saying that the Palestinian leader continues to incite terror, and is not a viable partner for peace. It also mentioned that organisations under Arafat's control, such as the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, have murdered scores of innocent Israelis. The House resolution, which was sponsored by House Republican Whip Tom DeLay of Texas, states that, Israel's military operations are an effort to defend itself ... and are aimed only at dismantling the terrorist infrastructure in the Palestinian areas. The resolution also calls on all Arab states to declare their unqualified opposition to all forms of terrorism. Let every terrorist know, the American people will never abandon freedom, democracy or Israel, said House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, a Texas Republican who pushed the resolution along with Representative Tom Lantos of California, top Democrat on the House International Relations Committee. DeLay added that attacks against Israelis are attacks against liberty, and all free people must recognise that Israel's fight is our fight. Neither of the resolutions carry the force of legislation. They are, however, a symbolic show of the unqualified support of Congress for the state of Israel, and reveal the extent of House Majority Whip DeLay's influence and power.

Fighters of the Kingdom of Israel claim responsibility for killing eight Palestinians
Publisher: Middle East News Online
By: Middle East News Online Reporter
Posted: 2002-05-10
Ramallah (MENO) - A militant Jewish group distributed a leaflet this weeks claiming
responsibility for killing eight Palestinians in the past year, saying that the
killings
were revenge for attacks against Israelis. Police spokesman Rafi Yaffe said that they
were investigating the group.
The Jewish militants who call themselves the Fighters of the Kingdom of Israel,
named the places where the shootings took place and warned Palestinians to
prepare shrouds for more burials.
In the actions of our fighters ... eight Arabs were killed and many wounded, read the
leaflet, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday. Jews who are
fed up have arisen and decided to get revenge against the Arab enemy!
The leaflet mentioned an attack in an Arab neighborhood in Jerusalem where a
bomb planted at a school in March injuring a teacher and four children.
Local sources indicated that the group has been actively recruiting Israeli civilians
to
join them to inflict additional death on the Palestinians and their children.
In the 1980s, a group of Jewish extremists bombed the cars of Arab mayors in the
West Bank, seriously injuring two of them and an Israeli police bomb-disposal expert.
Another group plotted to blow up mosque in the walled-Old City of Jerusalem but
was arrested before it carried out the plot.

-Caveat Lector- From http://www.counterpunch.com/ }}}Begin May 10, 2002 CounterPunch Special Report A Congressional Staffer Details Israel's Stranglehold on Capitol Hill: We are All Members of Likud Now. Our Vichy Congress by George Sunderland * Should John Walker Lindh be found guilty of taking up arms against the United States, pursuant to a fair trial before a court of competent jurisdiction, this writer would have no objection in principle to seeing him executed, or put away for a long period. The law is the law; one may say this without engaging in bloodthirsty rancor or the cheap, pseudo-patriotic histrionics that are the custom on talk radio or the cable news channels. That having been stipulated, the American Taliban case raises fundamental questions of group loyalty, and what it means to cross the line between Constitutionally-protected activities and openly treasonable behavior. Moreover, if Walker Lindh's youth and alleged naiveté turn out to be mitigating circumstances, how are we to judge disloyalty committed by older, presumably responsible citizens who swear an oath to protect the Constitution when they assume elective office? What happens, indeed, when inverted and transferred loyalty becomes so general as hardly to be noticeable? Probably the emblematic example of this kind of generalized disloyalty to the country of one's birth is the Vichy government of France. Histories of the fall of France, such as William Shirer's Collapse of the Third Republic, or Alistair Horne's To Lose a Battle, take pains to emphasize that France's military collapse and generally subservient loyalty to German occupation had their source not in military weakness per se, but in the profound cynicism, corruption, and attenuated loyalty of interwar France's professional class of politicians. One of the archetypes that reverberates in our extended historical memory is the thoroughly distasteful picture of the dozing, senile Petain, the feral, rat-like Leval, and a supporting cast of seedy hack politicians clenching acrid Gauloise cigarettes between tobacco-stained fingers. When Petain spoke of the duty of loyalty of France's citizens to a collaborationist regime, the modern reader has no difficulty in calculating that black is white and up is down. Loyalty to France was not the loyalty preached and practiced by the politicians in Vichy. At the end of World War II, many of these politicians found themselves at the end of a rope. What, then, is one to make of our representatives and senators in Congress assembled? For expressions of sheer grovelling subservience to a foreign power, the pronouncements of Laval and Petain pale in comparison to the rhetorical devotion with which certain Congressmen have bathed the Israel of Ariel Sharon. In March, Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma took the Senate floor and said the September 11 attacks were punishment by God in response to U.S. policy toward Israel. Asserting that Israel is entitled to the West Bank, he also criticized his fellow citizens who counselled the Israelis to use restraint, in effect blaming them for the terrorist attacks of September 11: One of the reasons I believe the spiritual door was opened for an attack against the United States of America is that the policy of our government has been to ask the Israelis, and demand it with pressure, not to retaliate in a significant way against the terrorist strikes that have been launched against them. According to this Tornado-Belt St. Augustine, God in effect allowed airliners to be flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon because U.S. actions towards Israel offended the Almighty. In other words, the United States was punished because the Bush administration had been insufficiently worshipful towards Israel (the $3 billion annually that Congress squeezes out of the taxpayer as tribute to the Jewish State is apparently not sufficient in the opinion of this self-styled fiscal conservative--and in the opinion of the Almighty Himself, Whose inscrutable will Inhofe claims to be able to interpret). Like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, Inhofe believes America suffered divinely- ordained punishment; but the Senator adds a new twist: those 3,000 innocent Americans died, he believes, because their government demonstrated insufficient obeisance to a foreign country. For sheer treacherous Quislingism, Inhofe's statement is hard to top. But top it we can. A perusal of the May 6, 2002 Jerusalem Post reveals the following headline: Visiting Congressmen Advise Israel to Resist US Administration Pressure. The Israeli newspaper chronicles the pilgrimage of a group of Congressional wardheelers to the Promised Land, carrying with them a copy of the resolution of support for the Israeli government which passed Congress by a vote of 352-21 with 29 abstentions. The delegation's leader, Rep. James Saxton of New Jersey, displayed a copy of the resolution to reporters, which he said they wanted to hand

[CTRL] Fwd: What Happened in Jenin?
---BeginMessage--- FAIR-L Fairness Accuracy In Reporting Media analysis, critiques and activism MEDIA ADVISORY: What Happened in Jenin? May 10, 2002 As violence continues in Israel and Palestine, so does debate over what exactly happened during Israel's invasion of the Jenin refugee camp. Israel barred journalists and aid workers alike from the camp during the invasions, but as access restrictions have eased, human rights groups have issued graphic reports detailing evidence of human rights violations by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and possible war crimes. Some media accounts, too, have vividly described the damage across the West Bank: One New York Times story (4/11/02) reported that it is safe to say that the infrastructure of life itself and of any future Palestinian state-- roads, schools, electricity pylons, water pipes, telephone lines-- has been devastated. Lately, however, much U.S. coverage and commentary has passed over investigations of whether the IDF committed widespread rights abuses in favor of narrower-- and less meaningful-- wrangling over whether or not the IDF committed a massacre. Amnesty International has emphasized that there is no legal definition in international law of the word 'massacre', and that using the term in reference to Jenin is not helpful for determining whether the IDF violated human rights there (AI press release, 4/29/02). Nevertheless, the massacre question has become central to many journalists' approach to the story-- even when they don't have a working definition of the word. One illustration of how poorly media have thought through the concept came when CNBC's Chris Matthews (Hardball, 4/16/02) asked chief PLO representative to the U.S. Hasan Abdel Rahman whether he had evidence of a massacre in Jenin. Rahman turned the tables, asking, Well, first of all, what's a massacre? With disquieting vagueness, Matthews replied, Oh, a couple hundred people or civilians or ten or 20 civilians. Most early estimates in the U.S. press of the number of Palestinians killed in Jenin ranged from 100 to 200. Media were caught up in the implications for Israel's image, declaring Jenin a diplomatic and public relations minefield (CBS Evening News, 4/24/02). As initial excavation work got underway, however, those original figures were downgraded, and the question for many news outlets became whether Palestinians had manufactured massacre claims. In fact, many of those early casualty figures had been provided by Israeli officials. The Israeli army estimates that it killed 100 to 200 people in eight days of fighting, reported CBS Evening News on April 12. On ABC's Nightline (4/11/02), Dave Marash reported that Israeli defense forces estimate 100 Palestinian fighters were killed there, but refused to say where the bodies are, and they continue to bar news people from the camp. Once Human Rights Watch (HRW) gained access to the camp, the group was able to document 52 people killed by the IDF, including 22 civilians, many of whom were killed willfully or unlawfully (press release, 5/3/02). HRW's report on Jenin didn't focus on the sheer numbers of dead, however. Instead, the bulk of the report catalogued a pattern of serious human rights violations in Jenin, some of which the group says may be war crimes. The abuses include attacking and killing medical personnel, using civilians as human shields, failing to distinguish between military targets and civilian homes, and causing extensive and disproportionate destruction of the civilian infrastructure-- so much so that more than a quarter of Jenin's population is now homeless. Amnesty International announced similar findings in a May 4 report, The Heavy Price of Israeli Incursions, which condemned the IDF invasions of the Occupied Territories as collective punishment of Palestinians. The report documents unlawful killings, destruction of property and arbitrary detention [and] torture and ill-treatment by the IDF, and states that many of these actions violated human rights and international law. The HRW and Amnesty reports were very direct in their conclusions, but some journalists nonetheless managed to miss the point. On NPR's May 4 Weekend Edition, anchor Scott Simon asked NPR analyst Daniel Schorr to explain what the newly released reports said about Jenin. Schorr said: Human Rights Watch has found that there was no massacre as such. Yes, there were a couple of things that were not very nice. They found Israelis destroyed more buildings than they absolutely had to. The Israelis say they had to 'cause they thought they were booby trapped, but Human Rights Watch says sometimes human beings were used as human shields. Maybe. Some things happened which were not terribly, terribly nice, and I'm sure they happened a lot. But if the question is raised that 'Was there a deliberate massacre of civilians in Jenin?' the answer seems to come out no. It's hard to
[CTRL] Is America Really Engaged in Big Government?
http://www.strike-the-root.com/columns/Bottoms/bottoms18.html Is America Really "Engaged" in Big Government? by John Bottoms It seems that Americans just aren't very enthusiastic about their government's efforts to protect the homeland. So commiserated hundreds of government and big business Pooh-Bahs at the recent "Homeland Security 2005" seminar, agreeing that they have "failed to engage the American people." What, Americans aren't "engaged" by the hours they spend standing on security lines at airports? They don't give thanks to the Homeland Security office as they're poked, prodded, felt up or strip-searched by bored, incompetent, lecherous federalized airport guards who don't notice when loaded guns pass under their X-ray vision? They aren't thrilled by the threat of being placed on a federal "no fly list" for having the wrong political opinions? They're not enthusiastic that their email, phone calls and web-browsing habits are being scrutinized by their government? They question why hundreds of people are being detained without criminal charges? They wonder how it enhances their security to place into solitary confinement a resident alien who volunteered to help the FBI catch the terrorists? They doubt the ability, integrity and intellect of a president who accuses them of aiding terrorists if they don't approve of his policies? What's not to like? But Americans individually seem pretty "engaged" in the business of security. The 20,000 airline pilots who are demanding FAA permission to carry firearms to protect themselves, their customers and their employers' multi-million dollar investment from terrorists and the US Air Force (which promises to shoot down hijacked planes) are engaged. Americans who are buying record numbers of personal defense weapons are definitely engaged. Jewish-American tourists avoiding visits to the Middle East and France this year also seem quite engaged. The airplane passengers and flight crew who subdued shoe-bomber wannabe Richard Reid were about as engaged as you can be. I guess those seminar attendees only want us engaged in government's efforts to provide security. In a rare and shocking display of honesty, several participants (anonymously) said "they felt that without another terrorist incident, keeping public attention on the gaps in security and support for the expenditures was growing more difficult." Well, guys, thanks for admitting that terrorist attacks are just a means to achieve your real goal of funding your growing federal fiefdoms. I'll remember that during the next terror strike, and afterward when you demand yet more tax money while threatening my remaining freedom. Lest Americans really become more engaged in homeland security, symposium attendee Richard Falkenrath, who is responsible for directing the "national strategy for homeland security" said that it was "largely impractical" to give the public information on security threats. We get it: our rulers don't want citizens engaged in homeland security; they just want servile inmates who meekly pay their taxes, follow orders, and accept that government knows best. But Homeland Security czar Tom Ridge has the solution. Since he and his federal colleagues have done such a bang-up job so far, just give them more power. "We need to take a look at restructuring government, probably perhaps restructuring the office itself," the linguistically indecisive Ridge said. Just as you know a politician's lying when his lips are moving, you can be sure that "restructuring government" means expanding it. Americans have shown at every opportunity that they are ready and able to become more engaged in the security of their homeland. Should the government on the Potomac ever decide to take them up on the offer, all they need do is ask. So far, it seems all those people know is how to crack the whip. May 8, 2002
[CTRL] THE STORY OF THE CENTURY and the effort to derail it
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j051002.html May 10, 2002 THE STORY OF THE CENTURY – and the effort to derail it This headline should set your alarm bells ringing: "Inquiry of Intelligence Failures Hits Obstacles." The effort to ferret out the truth from government officials is, predictably, like pulling teeth. But, in this case, the natural bureaucratic resistance to oversight is augmented by the reluctance of our legislators to probe too deeply. The much-vaunted congressional investigation of the 9/11 intelligence meltdown was defanged from the beginning, and merely provided a platform for CIA chief George Tenet to absolve himself and his agency of any responsibility, basically saying: Hey, it could've happened to anybody! THE BIG QUESTION Although that has got to be one very unsurprising headline – gee, you mean US government employees are obstructing an investigation into their incompetence? – the implications are really much more ominous than a bunch of self-serving fools covering their own asses. For what it means is that we will never unravel the mystery surrounding the genesis of this perpetual "war on terrorism." For the big question of the post-9/11 era has so far gone unanswered. After the expenditure of multi-billions of tax dollars for "anti-terrorist" programs, how is it that a terrorist network could exist in this country over a stretch of years – perhaps longer than five years – and remain completely unknown to US law enforcement and intelligence agencies? After all those "anti-terrorist task forces," studies, warnings, premonitions – remember the Great Terrorist Scare of New Year's 2000? – you mean to tell me they missed it completely? Oh sure, there's that guff about the famous "20th hijacker," the pursuit of whom had them supposedly hot on the trail of Mohammed Atta Co., but, tragically, too late. This detail merely underscores the criminal incompetence of the authorities, and points to the need for a thorough and public investigation. Some, however, say it wasn't incompetence, but something more ominous: deliberate criminal neglect… THE McKINNEY CONSPIRACY THEORY The question of foreknowledge of the 9/11 attack has been the subject of several unfortunate conspiracy theories – unfortunate in the sense that they discredit any real challenge to the "official" non-story. The most infamous is the one advanced by Representative Cynthia McKinney, who seems to believe that George W. Bush knew all about it in advance, and deliberately let 9/11 happen because "persons close to this administration are poised to make huge profits off America's new war." She offers no evidence for her claim, but, still, she insists, we need to have a congressional investigation in order to validate her ideological prejudices and kneejerk lefty mindset. Everybody is using 9/11 to promote their own smelly little orthodoxies, as Orwell described the mindset of the ideologues of his time. Just as Bill Kristol and the neocons are using 9/11 to promote their program of war, and yet more war, the loony left is seizing the moment to demonstrate, to its own satisfaction if no one else's, that money is the root of all evil, and America – not just the government, but America – comes in a close second. A GOOD QUESTION The neocons, naturally, are far more dangerous, because their hands are on the levers of power, or close enough. But the danger posed by McKinney is, in its way, worse, because it closes off the possibility of the public ever discovering the whole truth about 9/11. She is clearly not in possession of any proof for her fantastic and easily ridiculed charges, but then again, the zealot doesn't require all that much in the way of proof. There is a very thin line between political and religious ideology, especially at the extremes, and McKinney seems to exemplify the deforming effects of ideology on the human mind. But the truth can be blurted out unthinkingly and in passing by a madwoman as much as a seer. In an interview with a Berkeley radio station, she said something – a few sentences – that made sense: "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th. . . . What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? . . . What do they have to hide?" She is like an unguided missile, veering off opportunistically in several directions at once, but her scattershot technique manages to strike one real target – a direct hit obscured in the uproar over her other, admittedly outrageous remarks. She asks: "Who else knew…?" YOU READ IT HERE FIRST Who else, indeed. Longtime readers of this column know that I have been pursuing, since November of last year, the question of whether a foreign intelligence agency renown for its ruthless efficiency had foreknowledge of 9/11. (Indeed, I have written so many columns on the subject that we've had to

The recently arrested generals whittled away their recreation time halfheartedly, playing soccer and reminiscing about the days when Mr. Fujimori's finest could count on at least one steadfast friend: Uncle Sam. General Juan Miguel del Aguila, head of Peru's National Anti-terrorism Bureau until last year and, later, the security chief of the National Police, recalled frequent meetings with American intelligence agents right up to the moment when Mr. Fujimori abandoned the presidency and fled to Japan in November. "The U.S. was our partner in every respect, giving us intelligence, training, equipment and working closely with us in the field," said General del Aguila, who was charged with conspiracy in the state-sponsored bombing last year of a bank in central Lima, an act meant to look like the handiwork of Mr. Fujimori's opponents to portray them as radicals. "The United States was our best ally." Less chatty, General Nicolas Hermoza Rios, an honors graduate from the U.S. Army's School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia, shooed away a foreign journalist. The former head of Mr. Fujimori's joint chiefs during most of the 1990s - a decade when Peru vied with Colombia as the largest recipient of U.S. military aid in South America - General Hermoza had just pleaded guilty to taking $14 million in illicit gains from arms deals. He was still fighting more potent charges of taking protection money from the same drug lords the United States was paying Peru to fight. The arrests of 18 generals in the six months since Mr. Fujimori's fall - -among more than 70 of his government's high ranking military and intelligence officials against whom criminal charges have been brought - have lifted a curtain on the dark side of Washington's partnership with Peru during the 1990s. Hailed as a model for U.S. military cooperation with Latin America, the alliance was part of a quest to crush leftist rebels and drug traffickers. To that end, the United States provided Peru not only with cash, but also with training, equipment, intelligence and manpower from the CIA, the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. armed forces. But a purge under way here since Mr. Fujimori's disgrace has shown that many of the people the United States worked with most closely to accomplish its goals - especially in the drug war - appear to have been working both sides of the street, forming a network of corruption under the noses of their American partners. For many Peruvians, this has raised the question of whether American officials working here were duped or just averted their gaze. "The United States was working with people involved in massive criminal activity in Peru," said Anel Townsend, the head of a Peruvian congressional subcommittee probing government links to drug trafficking in the 1990s. "If U.S. intelligence did not know what was going on, it certainly should have. You can't just offer that kind of assistance to a government like Fujimori's and then take no responsibility for the consequences." The underside of cooperation in Peru underscores the difficulties and compromises of American military partnerships in Latin America. Echoes of Peru's problems can already be seen in Washington's $1.3 billion aid package to Plan Colombia, instituted during the Clinton administration. Critics warn that American officials may be repeating the mistake of cooperating with a corrupt military establishment to meet their ends in the drug war. The former chief of the secret police, Vladimiro Montesinos, for instance, was for years Peru's top liaison with Washington and Mr. Fujimori's intelligence chief. He is now a fugitive with a $5 million price on his head. Continuously defended by U.S. officials and the CIA as a staunch ally in the drug war, Mr. Montesinos is now facing 31 criminal counts, including charges that he ordered civilian massacres in 1991 and 1992 and that he protected drug smugglers while aiding in capturing others. The American officials insist that until recently, evidence indicating high-level corruption was largely hearsay, and they point out that, for a while, Mr. Fujimori was one of the most popular presidents in Peruvian history.

http://www.fedupcanada.org/Media/media_233.htm Title: Fed Up Canada - Media and the Firearms Issue This page is best viewed using Netscape 3.0 or higher. February 5, 2001 Issue Full Text The mysterious Mr. Frohike B.C. gun owners are threatened by a federal official abusing confidential information by Shafer Parker Former firearms instructor Lowe: His certification was snatched after he criticized the RCMP. EXPERIENCE has taught Cranbrook, B.C., resident Rick Lowe, 45, that hard knocks should be expected for gun enthusiasts who openly oppose the new Firearms Act. Mr. Lowe has been a certified firearms instructor since March 1994. But his teaching career ended last year after he wrote a couple of letters in late March 2000 to the Cranbrook Daily Townsman calling for an investigation of the local RCMP detachment. Mr. Lowe was inspired to write after police admitted in court they had used false information to obtain a warrant that allowed them to search the home and seize the guns of James Buck from nearby Wardner, B.C. Mr. Lowe's call for an investigation was based on the decision rendered by Cranbrook provincial court Judge Don Carlgren. After ordering police to return Mr. Buck's guns, the judge stated in court that they had shown a complete and utter disregard for the niceties of the law and the rights of the accused. Stung by Judge Carlgren's comments, Cranbrook police issued a report that insisted the officers had acted in good faith...based on the new Firearms legislation. Then somebody decided Mr. Lowe should be punished. On April 19, A.J. (Tony) Heemskerk, Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) for British Columbia, wrote Mr. Lowe a letter advising that his designations as a Canadian Firearms Safety Course and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course Instructor in B.C. were being revoked. You have consistently demonstrated a lack of support for the Firearms Act and have demonstrated an unprofessional attitude towards my office and staff, Mr. Heemskerk wrote. A former soldier who now serves as an industrial first-aid attendant and builds computers in his spare time, Mr. Lowe was surprised his teaching certificate was revoked by the CFO. It's upsetting to realize you can be removed as a firearms instructor merely because you've been critical of mistakes made by the local police, he says. He admits that local firearms officer Dennis Johnson may have other reasons to dislike him. Two years ago he led the fight to stop local RCMP officers from illegally charging a fee to renew gun-carry permits. And he successfully challenged Mr. Johnson's initial refusal to register a Basque .380 automatic pistol he had purchased in 1998. Mr. Lowe secured the registration only after offering proof that at least 11 other Canadians had been allowed to register the same weapon in other jurisdictions, and he threatened to take Mr. Johnson to court. But I can assure you, he says, that I never criticized the Firearms Act when acting as an instructor. His last assertion is backed by Cranbrook lawyer Neil Robertson, who wrote a letter to Mr. Heemskerk on Mr. Lowe's behalf shortly after he lost his certification. Mr. Robertson's wife had attended a safety course taught by Mr. Lowe, Mr. Robertson stated, and he had accompanied her to most of the sessions. I have never heard Mr. Lowe demonstrate a

Although I endorse nonviolent means to provide solutions to most if not all conflicts arising among the various factions of humanity, I also endorse (almost) universal military training. My reasons for this do not include providing fodder for the imperialist forces that have overtaken the United States in the last hundred years or so. Exactly the opposite, as a matter of fact. The rationale is more along the lines of a good offense begins with a good defense ... against enemies foreign and domestic. When the Constitution was written, it included the Second Amendment with the understanding that most if not all men and women would have some familiarity with defending themselves, with firearms if necessary. With the advent of standing armies and urbanisation of the society, the need to go out and learn how to shoot something in order to eat has fallen by the wayside. This is considered sport now (as if some of our current leaders did not consider war to be sport). Military service eliminates this gap in education and training within the first few weeks of basic training, boot camp, whatever. No more pretend cowboys or gangsters, who can only dream about loud dangerous things (besides their cars' subbass woofer sound systems). Other issues beyond this are also eliminated. Among these are learning how to get along with the infinite varieties of American that there are. Since the draft was abolished in favour of an all-volunteer Armed Forces, I've noticed a slight change in direction of society that favours a somewhat Balkanised effect, groups congregating among their perceived samenesses. There is less emphasis on becoming integrated or cooperative and more on polarisation. The military puts this to a quick end for the most part. Once people are forced to learn to live with and learn about one another in a climate of common purpose, things get better. For everyone. The most important thing I've come to learn is who the government puts its assets to use. Mad Maddy Albright had a little conflict with General Powell in interpreting what the military was good for. This, in itself, shows how a lack of on-hand, in-person experience can distort the purpose of a instrument of American foreign policy. When the Mad Maddies get excited about achieving person goals using the blood, sweat and tears of someone else's kids, we're all in trouble. If we look at the people who are involved in formulating national foreign policy to include dispatching armies, air forces, navies, and affiliated corps of young people, we find a great number of those who did all they could to keep their heads in the sand during recent conflicts. [ Go here to see who WAS in the military and then figure out who WASN'T: http://www.rollcall.com/rcfiles/military.html ] We might find some correlation to warmongering and absence of a DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, in our leaders' names. We only need to remember BJ Clinton, R. Cheney, R. Armey, T. DeLay, N. Gingrich, T. Lott, and a whole host of others who had other things to do.

on's strong anti-abortion stance. A person close to the congresswoman, who asked to remain anonymous, said her remarks were intended to urge "more flexibility on family planning." Abortion is not mentioned directly in the draft child-summit document, but UNICEF, which organized the 187-country special session of the General Assembly, and the U.N. Fund for Population Activities, interpret the ambiguous phrase "reproductive health services" to include abortion. A senior Canadian negotiator told delegates in earlier preparatory meetings that the term includes abortion, prompting the Bush administration to start pushing for the alternate term "reproductive health care." European countries, with the exception of Spain, along with Canada, Japan and New Zealand oppose the U.S. position. Muslim nations and some African countries also support the United States. The Rio Group, whose delegations say their predominantly Catholic populations don't condone abortion, said there is no danger the term "reproductive health services" will be used to promote abortions in Latin America.

[CTRL] Homosexuals face jail under Russian plan
Homosexuals face jail under Russian plan By Ben Aris in Moscow (Filed: 25/04/2002) A RUSSIAN parliamentarian with close links to the Kremlin has proposed a law to make homosexuality illegal again. Gennady Raikov, leader of the People's Deputies grouping in the Duma, submitted a bill to make practicing homosexuals liable to jail terms of between one and five years. The law was co-authored by Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's representative on the Council of Europe, the human rights organization. Mr Raikov refused to confirm Russian press speculation that President Putin had initiated the proposal. Diederik Lohman, the director of Human Rights Watch in Russia, said: "If the law is passed it would be barbaric." Stalin first made sexual relations between men illegal in 1933; lesbian relations have always been permitted. The proposal will now be considered in the Duma Council.

What is the Islamic view on- a. Dating and Premarital sex:Islam does not approve of intimate mixing of the sexes, and forbids premarital or extramarital sex. Islam encourages marriage as a shield to such temptations and as a means of having mutual love, mercy and peace. b. Abortion:Islam considers abortion as murder and does not permit it except to save the mother's life (Quran 17:23-31, 6:15 1). c. Homosexuality and AIDS:Islam categorically opposes homosexuality and considers it a sin. However, Muslim physicians are advised to care for AIDS patients with compassion just as they would for other patients. d. Euthanasia and Suicide:Islam is opposed to both suicide and euthanasia. Muslims do not believe in heroic measures to prolong the misery in a terminally ill patient. e. Organ transplantation:Islam stresses upon saving lives (Quran 5:32); thus, transplantation in general would be considered permissible provided a donor consent is available. The sale of the organ is not allowed. http://www.islam-usa.com/25ques.html#22 While we were sleeping, the enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat.

Teams of lawyers and various rulings came and went, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Judgments against the church hit $30 million, then dropped to $2.5 million. But the Church of Scientology never paid -- until yesterday, when officials wrote a check for more than $8.6 million to end the case, one of the longest-running in California history. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A63143-2002May9.html?FACTnet Founder of religious compound arrested on sex charges; Egyptian-style complex raided 5/9/02 AP EATONTON, Ga.
