[CTRL] Salvia Divinorum
-Caveat Lector- http://www.viewzone.com/salvia.html We get lots of strange stories here at Viewzone. Most have to do with discoveries, of one sort or another, and of what I would call breakthrough theories that hold the promise of stimulating or shaking our view of traditional reality. After a while, these stories all seem to echo of the same theme of lost civilizations, encounters with alien space people or impending doom from some planetary cataclysm. It can get a bit old. My most popular piece in this magazine is the article on Left Brain - Right Brain functions, published back in 1999. I still get lots of e-mail and it continues to prompt people to explore an area that has not been exhausted on Viewzone: the inner space of the mind. And so I was asked to take up my keyboard once again when Viewzone began to be flooded with inquiries about a new, and legal, drug called Salvia Divinorum. Unless you are familiar with the music of Tool or Mudvayne, you likely have never heard of Salvia Divinorum, or Sally as it is called by its users. It's not a recreational drug like marijuana or cocaine. Salvia is a hallucinogenic drug that is so strong in effect, and so unusual, that it has not been widely abused despite being readily available and cheap for over four years. Salvia is a plant that grows in the sub-tropical forests of Mexico. It is a member of the mint family and was almost extinct from the imposing destruction of tropical forests in that region. Thankfully, now that it has been recognized for its medicinal properties, it is growing all over the planet, in easily maintained gardens, indoors and outdoors. Unlike marijuana, Salvia requires no power hungry halogen lights or fancy hydroponics. It can be grown by anyone who has kept Mom's African Violets alive on the bookshelf, and it is easy to cultivate and clone. In fact, lots of people are growing Salvia these days and the internet is full of web sites where plants, seed and the dried leaves are sold and shipped to virtually every country except Australia, which recently banned the plant. One of the most reliable sources of Salvia is www.salvia- divinorum.com, who will promptly send your order by UPS shipping. There are a few rip-off businesses out there but this company seems to be highly respected and to maintain excellent quality control. This company also has other botanicals which Viewzone will, hopefully, review and report in the near future. What's the interest in this plant? Back in the 1960's a team of pharmacologists visited the Mazatec Indians, who live in the mountains of northern Oaxaca, Mexico. For centuries their shamans have used hallucinogens in religious and healing ceremonies. Many of these mind-altering substances were unknown, but soon after this expedition such plants as mescaline and psilocybin mushrooms were being used around the world. Salvia was in this same family but its recreational use never really became as popular. Salvia leaves contain a substance called Salvinorin-A, the most powerful hallucinogen known to science -- even more potent per weight than LSD. It's an odd substance since, unlike virtually every other mind altering drug, it is not an alkaloid. Also, attempts to determine how it functions and which neurotransmitters it either potentiates or inhibits have alluded researchers. The leaves are traditionally chewed and absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth, but it is also dried and smokes like marijuana, or is taken under the tongue in the form of a purified tincture of savinorin-A. The effects of Salvia are quick and very strong. Even if you have had experience with LSD or magic mushrooms, Salvia goes beyond any of these so- called trips -- enough so that many people who experiment with Salvia vow never to use it again. Not only is Salvia quick acting and powerful but the effects are of extremely short duration - often only a few minutes. This short duration has led to the current re-emergence of Salvia as a tool for meditation and psychic exploration. Salvia has been called a wild ride. With only one or two hits of a pipe users are almost instantly immersed in an out of body experience where time and place seem to be under the control of the drug. Any sensory stimulation takes the user on a lucid dream like state where anything from cartoons to spirit guides can appear as real as normal consciousness, with no sense of being high or under the influence of a chemical. In fact, so common is the sensation of a guide or other presence that frequent users have given her a name, and often speak of Sally or the Goddess as a significant participant in their experience. Viewzone asked me to write about this drug so, quite naturally, I had to try it. It had been many years since my psychedelic days, but I have been known to remind myself of the good ol' days now and then. I purchased some extract on the internet - 2 grams of enhanced ground leaves for about $30 (US), from www.salvia-divinorum.com. I

[CTRL] A Blood Thirsty Wild Animal Leading The US
-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded message follows --- Daily TelegraphDecember 11, 2002 The American administration is a bloodthirsty wild animal By Harold Pinter Earlier this year, I had a major operation for cancer. The operation and its after effects were something of a nightmare. I felt I was a man unable to swim bobbing about under water in a deep dark endless ocean. But I did not drown and I am very glad to be alive. However, I found that to emerge from a personal nightmare was to enter an infinitely more pervasive public nightmare - the nightmare of American hysteria, ignorance, arrogance, stupidity and belligerence; the most powerful nation the world has ever known effectively waging war against the rest of the world. If you are not with us, you are against us, President George W. Bush has said. He has also said: We will not allow the world's worst weapons to remain in the hands of the world's worst leaders. Quite right. Look in the mirror, chum. That's you. America is at this moment developing advanced systems of weapons of mass destruction and is prepared to use them where it sees fit. It has more of them than the rest of the world put together. It has walked away from international agreements on biological and chemical weapons, refusing to allow inspection of its own factories. The hypocrisy behind its public declarations and its own actions is almost a joke. America believes that the 3,000 deaths in New York are the only deaths that count, the only deaths that matter. They are American deaths. Other deaths are unreal, abstract, of no consequence. The 3,000 deaths in Afghanistan are never referred to. The hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children dead through American and British sanctions which have deprived them of essential medicines are never referred to. The effect of depleted uranium, used by America in the Gulf war, is never referred to. Radiation levels in Iraq are appallingly high. Babies are born with no brain, no eyes, no genitals. Where they do have ears, mouths or rectums, all that issues from these orifices is blood. The 200,000 deaths in East Timor in 1975 brought about by the Indonesian government but inspired and supported by America are never referred to. The 500,000 deaths in Guatemala, Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Argentina and Haiti, in actions supported and subsidised by America, are never referred to. The millions of deaths in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are no longer referred to. The desperate plight of the Palestinian people, the central factor in world unrest, is hardly referred to. But what a misjudgment of the present and what a misreading of history this is. People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget: they also strike back. The atrocity in New York was predictable and inevitable. It was an act of retaliation against constant and systematic manifestations of state terrorism on the part of America over many years, in all parts of the world. In Britain, the public is now being warned to be vigilant in preparation for potential terrorist acts. The language is in itself preposterous. How will - or can - public vigilance be embodied? Wearing a scarf over your mouth to keep out poison gas? However, terrorist attacks are quite likely, the inevitable result of our Prime Minister's contemptible and shameful subservience to America. Apparently a terrorist poison gas attack on the London Underground system was recently prevented. But such an act may indeed take place. Thousands of schoolchildren travel on the Underground every day. If there is a poison gas attack from which they die, the responsibility will rest entirely on the shoulders of our Prime Minister. Needless to say, the Prime Minister does not travel on the Underground himself. The planned war against Iraq is in fact a plan for premeditated murder of thousands of civilians in order, apparently, to rescue them from their dictator. America and Britain are pursuing a course that can lead only to an escalation of violence throughout the world and finally to catastrophe. It is obvious, however, that America is bursting at the seams to attack Iraq. I believe that it will do this not only to take control of Iraqi oil, but also because the American administration is now a bloodthirsty wild animal. Bombs are its only vocabulary. Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government, but seem to be helpless. Unless Europe finds the solidarity, intelligence, courage and will to challenge and resist American power, Europe itself will deserve Alexander Herzen's declaration - We are not the doctors. We are the disease. The article is taken from an address given by Harold Pinter on receiving an honorary degree at the University of Turin HEAD TITLEA Blood Thirsty

[CTRL] Hezbollah has friend close to White House
-Caveat Lector- This is a WorldNetDaily printer-friendly version of the article which follows. To view this item online, visit http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=29959 Thursday, December 12, 2002 Hezbollah has friend close to White House Terrorist allies of al-Qaida supported by billionaire booster of Bush, Powell Posted: December 12, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Joseph Farah © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shi'ite jihadist group based in Lebanon, is on the U.S. State Department list of international terrorist organizations. Just yesterday, Canada officially added Hezbollah to its list of 14 terrorist groups banned from operating in the country. According to intelligence experts, Hezbollah maintains an operational alliance with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terror network. Hezbollah remains the prime suspect in the truck bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983 a terrorist attack that killed 243. Immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, Hezbollah's Al Manar Television celebrated the events by replaying footage of the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in 1982 along with inflammatory speeches by the group's leader, Hasan Nasrallah, warning America's day of judgment would come. Yet, a man with close financial and personal ties to the Bush administration continues to use his influence to push for the dropping of Hezbollah from the terrorist list and calls the group a resistance party fighting the Israeli occupation. That man in the middle is Issam Fares, deputy prime minister of Lebanon, a self-made billionaire and a close associate of Maj. General Ghazi Kanaan, head of Syrian intelligence in Lebanon and the man known as the kingmaker in a small country dominated by Syria's occupying military forces. It is a mistake to make a comparison between the al-Qaida network ... and Hezbollah, Fares told Agence France-Presse last year. Hezbollah did not carry out any resistance operation against American interests in Lebanon or abroad and did not target civilians in its resistance activities as happened on Sept. 11 at the World Trade Center. Fares, through his son, Nijad, a permanent resident alien of the U.S., and his U.S.-based businesses, has contributed heavily to the senatorial campaigns of now Department of Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham. The family also contributed $100,000 to the Bush inaugural. And Fares sponsored a speech by Secretary of State Colin Powell at Tufts University for a reported $59,000. Fares oversees a worldwide, diversified conglomerate of oil, real estate and media interests. In 2000, he became deputy prime minister of Lebanon. The family's main U.S. business holding is the Houston-based Wedge Group, a big player in the oil services industry headed by William White, the former No. 2 official at the Energy Department during the Clinton administration. That the Fares family is attempting to buy influence in high places in the United States seems self-evident. Arab-Americans must substantially increase contributions to political candidates, wrote Nijad Fares in an opinion page article for the Detroit News, Dec, 16, 1996. Even modest contributions help ensure that members of Congress and their staffs take phone calls and are more responsive to requests. Furthermore, the contributor must make explicit an interest in Middle East-related issues. The connection between the Fares family and the Bush family precedes the current administration. After leaving office in 1993, President George H.W. Bush received a $100,000 speaking fee from Fares. He also made a trip around the Persian Gulf in Fares' private jet with the Lebanese businessman by his side. Former Secretary of State James Baker also received a $100,000 speaking fee. When the news of Fares' support of the inauguration broke in the Jerusalem Post in 2000, Fares said he was happy with the noble relationship between himself and the Bush family. If the Zionist lobby and those revolving in its orbit are displeased with this relationship, it's their own business, he told the paper. Anyway, envy is a killer. Beirut's Daily Star reported last year that Fares has cultivated a network of connections with senior American officials that would make most people blush with envy. It's not unusual that a man of means like Fares would find friends in high places in America. But it is Fares' allies in Lebanon from Hezbollah to Kanaan that make those connections shocking to some. Kanaan is the man who protects, assists and harbors most terrorists and terror-related organizations in Lebanon, explains Nagi Najjar, the spokesman for the Government of Lebanon in Exile, a group fighting for independence from Syria. And, Hezbollah, he says, is the father of all terrorism. He charges that Hezbollah has sleeper cells planted around the world with a mission to target Jewish and U.S. interests. Hezbollah is to the Shiaa Muslim world what al-Qaida is to the Sunni Muslim world,
[CTRL] Al-Qaida affiliate got nerve agent in Iraq
-Caveat Lector- http://www.startribune.com/stories/1576/3526765.html Report: Al-Qaida affiliate got nerve agent in Iraq Washington Post Published Dec. 12, 2002 TERR12 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Bush administration has received a credible report that Islamic extremists affiliated with Al-Qaida took possession of a chemical weapon in Iraq last month or late in October, according to two officials with firsthand knowledge of the report and its source. They said government analysts suspect that the transaction involved the nerve agent VX and that a courier managed to smuggle it overland through Turkey. If the report is true, it would be the first known acquisition of a nonconventional weapon other than cyanide by Al-Qaida or its affiliates. It also would be the most concrete evidence to support the charge, made for months by President Bush, and his advisers, that Al-Qaida terrorists receive material assistance in Iraq. If advanced publicly by the White House, the report could be used to rebut Iraq's assertion in a 12,000-page declaration that it had destroyed its entire stock of chemical weapons. On the central question of whether Iraqi President Saddam Hussein knew about such a transaction, U.S. analysts are said to have no evidence. Because Saddam's Special Security Organization, run by his son Qusay, has long exerted tight control over concealed weapons programs, officials said they presume it would be difficult to transfer a chemical agent without Saddam's knowledge. Knowledgeable officials, speaking without White House permission, said information about the transfer came from a sensitive and credible source whom they declined to discuss. Among the hundreds of leads in the Threat Matrix, a daily compilation by the CIA, this one has drawn the kind of attention reserved for a much smaller number. The way we gleaned the information makes us feel confident it is accurate, said one official whose responsibilities are directly involved with the report. I throw about 99 percent of the spot reports away when I look at them. I didn't throw this one away. Open to interpretation At a time when Bush is eager to make a public case linking Iraq to the United States' principal terrorist enemy, authorized national security spokesmen declined to discuss the substance of their information about the transfer of lethal chemicals. Those who disclosed it have no policymaking responsibilities on Iraq and expressed no strong views on whether the United States should go to war there. Even authorized spokesmen, with one exception, addressed the report on the condition of anonymity. They said that the principal source on the chemical transfer was uncorroborated and that indications it involved a nerve agent were open to interpretation. We are concerned because of Al-Qaida's interest in obtaining and using weapons of mass destruction, including chemical, and we continue to seek evidence and intelligence information with regards to their planning activity, said Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge. Johndroe was the only official authorized by the White House to discuss the matter on the record. Have they obtained chemical weapons? Johndroe said. I do not have any hard, concrete evidence that they have. Pressed on whether the information referred to a nerve agent, Johndroe said that there is no specific intelligence that limits Al-Qaida's interest to one particular chemical or biological weapon over the other. One official who spoke without permission said a sign of the government's concern is its ramping up opportunities to collect more, to figure out what would be the routes, where would they be taking the material, how would they deploy it, how are they transporting it, what are the personnel? The official added: We're not just sitting back and waiting for something to happen. A Defense Department official, who said he had seen only a summary version of the chemical weapons report, speculated that it might be connected to a message distributed last week to U.S. armed forces overseas. An official elsewhere said the message resulted only from an analyst's hypothetical concern. Prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency, last week's Turkey Defense Terrorism Threat Awareness Message warned of a possible chemical weapons attack by Al-Qaida on the Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey. Incirlik is an important NATO facility from which the U.S.-led coalition in 1991 launched thousands of bombing runs to force Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. Turkey has given conditional agreement to its use in the event of a new war with Iraq. According to two officials, a second related threat report was distributed in Washington this week. The CIA message described a European ally's warning that the United States might face chemical attack in a big-city subway if war broke out with Iraq. A U.S. government spokesman said the European ally offered little evidence and the credibility of the report

SPECIAL TO WORLD
TRIBUNE.COM
Thursday, December 12, 2002
JERUSALEM Palestinians
are undergoing a wave of crime and gang
activity following the collapse of police services in the West Bank, according to
Palestinian sources and local news reports.
Many of the members of the gangs are former
Palestinian Authority police
officers or Fatah insurgents, the sources said. They said they turned to crime
after the the PA failed to pay their salaries.
The focus of the criminal activities is
said to be in northern Jerusalem
neighborhoods that had been under the civilian rule of the Palestinian
Authority. PA police were deployed in the area until the escalation of the
Israeli-PA war in 2001, Middle East Newsline reported.
Health insurance for the self-employed: Special
offer
Palestinian sources said as a result the
area between Jerusalem and Ramallah
have become lawless. The Anata refugee camp has been termed Chicago in
a reference to the 1920s gang wars in the U.S. city.
Many Palestinians have sought to protect
themselves from the gangs. For the
first time in years, Palestinian newspapers contain advertisements for the sale
of guard dogs.
The Palestinian sources said a network
of gangs have appeared that extort
from businessmen, steal property and other assets and work for those who
want to eliminate their rivals. The sources said the gangs operate in the
Jerusalem and Ramallah areas and face virtually no danger from being
captured by either Israeli or Palestinian authorities.
On Wednesday, Palestinian dailies published
announcements warning the
public to beware of these gangs. The announcements disclosed the activities
of the criminal network and its record of extortion and deception.
An announcement in the Al Quds daily called
on the public to resist the gangs.
The announcement said the criminal network sells illegal drugs, forges
documents and seizes cars and land.
Israeli police, they said, have not responded
to reports of criminal activity amid
reinforcement of Jerusalem from Palestinian insurgents.

Henrik Ibsen NEURONAUTIC INSTITUTE on-line: http://home.earthlink.net/~thew -- Forwarded Message From: Chris Case [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: EarthlingZ Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 02:15:37 +0900 Subject: [TechGnosis] The Welsh get Wired from a forum discussion with Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs: http://engaged.well.com/engaged/engaged.cgi?c=inkwell.vuef=0t=166q=0-inkwel l.vue 166: #14 of 166: Dave Hughes (dave) Thu 21 Nov 2002 (11:26 PM) Howard, in #11 above, notes Dave Hughes has been selling the Welsh parliament on a scheme to blanket the entire county with WiFi access Not exactly. I started by showing Welsh people in local Pubs how they could connect up themselves broadband to the Internet, wirelessly, from every farmhouse. The word spread - from the bottom up. Welsh BBC (SC4) came to film me in Colorado. The word spread further. Always built on the boast I made in a tiny pub on New Years Eve 1997 in a tiny pub, in a tiny village (Cymduad) one pub, one chapel, one inn that 'I could connect up every farmhouse in Wales to the Internet, broadband, bypassing hated British Telecom, cheaply, by turning every Welsh pub into a wireless ISP.' After the Welsh National Assembly (their parliament) heard British Telecom tell the English Parliment, that unless the government subsidized them with millions of pounds, there was no way theu could bring broadband to rural England (including Wales, of course) until 2022. So the Welsh National Assembly, in effect said To hell with that. Where is that crazy American So they paid for me to come over there, make 12 presentations in 5 days, with dinners, before government, geeks, university aundiences, civic leaders, south to north. And do a 'model' valley wirelessly. And the PEOPLE demanded that the Assembly get them wireless. I only had to convince the 2d Minister one on one that I knew what I was talking about - technologically, economically, regulatorily (British and European Union Radiocomms) - AND CULTURALLY, before he popped for 100 million pounds for Broadband for Wales, with a big component of linked satellite-wireless, and a few bones thrown to BT for ADSL. I guess I organized a smart mob. I intentionally worked from the bottom up, not top down. And I drew on all my limited, but historical, knowledge of Welsh culture, derived from my desultory survery of its history through the 600 years I can trace my ancestory, (as much, since 1996 via the soc.culture.wales newsgroup as any other way. So I said 'You Welsh like your 'communities.' And you like to do things by 'councils.' So what is the old Welsh word for 'community?' F-r-o fro. And how many communities are there with a radius of no more than 3 miles (a nice wireless distance). 600, they calculated. 'Good, I said. We shall have e-Fro's. 600 e-fros, each one organized into a non-profit e-fro Council, which shall own the server, the base radio, and be legally responsible for the upstream link. And the SERVER at the center of each community, shall reflect the unique culture (in Welsh and English or whatever) of THAT one e-fro community. And you can then relate to each other, wirelessly, across the community go out to the Internet, and grow on your server what you want the rest of the world to see and know a about you. And sell or give to the world what you have, or are. Your music, your stories, your bardic traditions, your writings, your history, your castles, your sheep, your nurse's shawls, and slate wall hangings. And your Welsh language. Well, it appears to have hit a deep nerve midst the Welsh people. For I started with their culture, their being, and only used wireless and technology to express it, to make it valuable to others. Although I must admit here, that even though I am 4th generation American, from 13 generations of Welsh on my grandfathers side (Dafydd ap Hugh, 1585), and about 17 generations on my grandmothers side (Owen Tudor, 1485) I share with them the feeling of being oppressed by the haughty English. So with malice aforthought am seeing whether 'Electronic Wales' can become independent of England. So smart mobbery may turn out to be a bit more than that in the long run.

Attack Oil Tankers
By KEITH BRADSHER
{PRIVATE}
{PRIVATE TYPE=PICT;ALT=A}BOARD PETRO RANGER, in the Strait of
Malacca, Dec. 6 As the distant jungle shore of Malaysia faded from green to gray to black at
sunset, Noer Rahman put a bright red fire ax on the back deck of this aging tanker, then tied two
high-pressure fire hoses to the stern handrail and turned them on.
Mr. Rahman, an
experienced Indonesian sailor, was getting ready to fight pirates and terrorists,
dangers especially great in this important waterway, the fastest route around the southernmost tip
of continental Asia.
A recent audiotape
believed to have been made by Osama bin Laden praised and seemed to take
responsibility for a suicide attack two months ago in which a speedboat packed with explosives
rammed and crippled a French tanker, the Limburg, off Yemen. Other leaders of Al Qaeda have
vowed to cut the economic lifelines of the world's industrialized societies.
The threats have
focused the attention of intelligence agencies and marine police worldwide on
the vulnerability of tankers. Representatives of most of the world's seagoing nations are meeting
in London to discuss how to keep ships safe from the long-term problem of piracy and the new
risks of terrorism.
With the
attack on the Limburg, commercial vessels, especially vulnerable vessels like tankers,
are terrorist targets, said Pootengal Mukundan, the director of the International Maritime
Bureau, a United Nations affiliate that works with Interpol to combat seaborne crime.
Nowhere has the
concern been more acute than here in the Strait of Malacca, between Malaysia
and Indonesia. A quarter of the world's trade passes through the strait. That includes half of all
sea shipments of oil, bound for East Asia or sometimes the United States, and two-thirds of the
world's shipments of liquefied natural gas.
More pirate attacks
occur in Indonesian waters than anywhere else in the world. The pirates have
spies in ports to identify valuable targets, and sometimes confederates aboard as well.
Since Indonesia
has many radical Muslim groups with a history of violence, which have been
linked to the bombing in Bali in October, law enforcement and intelligence officials worry that
terrorists may tap the pirates' expertise to mount attacks on ships in the region.
Smaller tankers
like this 420-foot-long vessel, making slow trips through the strait while fully
laden with valuable cargos, run the greatest danger, Mr. Mukundan said.
The big fear is
that Al Qaeda might seize a ship and crash it into another vessel or into a refinery
or port.
Singapore, where
the Petro Ranger started its current journey, has the world's second-busiest
port, after Hong Kong's, so its government has taken the threat of terrorism very seriously.
As the ship began
inching away from the jetties of Singapore's immense refinery, where it took on
three million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel, a brown Singaporean F-4 Skyhawk fighter flew
overhead on combat air patrol, a precaution started after the attacks on Sept. 11 of last year.
A Singaporean Hawkeye
airborne surveillance plane circled twice over the refinery in the next
hour, while a half-dozen fast patrol boats with deck guns and a small gray warship cruised the
anchorage. One of the patrol boats escorted the Petro Ranger.
But once vessels
enter the Strait of Malacca they are essentially on their own. An hour from
Singapore, the Petro Ranger peacefully steamed past Iyu Kecil, a jungle-covered Indonesian
island that Mr. Mukundan described as a base for an organized crime gang that has been hijacking
small tankers to sell the cargos.
Three hours later,
the Petro Ranger sailed past Laboh Point, Malaysia, where the tanker's crew
had a close call just two months ago. A watchman on the deck of the Petro Ranger spotted a fast,
low boat with no lights within 100 yards of the stern.
The tanker's bells
sounded to wake the unarmed crew, a radio call went out to the Malaysian
coast guard and Istaque Hossain, the second officer, aimed a spotlight at the craft to signal to the
occupants that they would not take the Petro Ranger unawares.
The spotlight revealed
the boat to be packed with crouching men. All of them were squatting,
coming very close in masks and full black body suits, recalled Fong Chung-chen, the Petro
Ranger's Malaysian chief officer. After it was caught in the light, the boat sheered off and
vanished.

-Caveat Lector- http://knorek.com/RR/Ohio/ohio.htm Welcome to Ohio, the Land of Trains CSX train Q137-18 (Baltimore Penn Mary-Chicago 63rd St) is accelerating westward on track #1 past the EAS Warwick on the CSXT New Castle Subdivision in Clinton, Ohio at 6:35pm on August 18, 2000. CSX train S297-17 (Baltimore Curtice Bay-Toledo Walbridge) has taken the siding to let Q137 go around him. The siding is in the forground; Track #2 is in the background heading off to the right. This was once part of the Baltimore Ohio's mainline from Pittsburgh to Chicago, which wasn't completed until late in the 19th Century. It remains a vital link between Chicago and the Mid-Atlantic states. Photograph copyright 2000-2002 Jeff Knorek Take a look at any map of the United States and you will see that the state of Ohio is between all of the major port cities on the East Coast north of Tidewater Virginia and the cities of Chicago, St. Louis, and Detroit, as well as most of the port cities on the West Coast. Only traffic to/from from Canada and Chicago through the state of Michigan, and traffic to/from Los Angeles and the East Coast by way of Memphis can avoid passing through the Buckeye State. Map courtesy of the Central Intelligence Agency Long ago, in the 1820's, 30's, and 40's, the big port cites along the East Coast all had designs on being the predominant port once the fertile land west of the Appalachian Mountains was developed and farmed. The rich agriculture that this land would ultimately sustain should be transloaded at eastern ports for export to Europe, the plan went, so toward this end many of the port cities chartered the early railroads themselves or politically supported those chartered by other private interests (the same method similarly funded canal building). Remember, at this period in American history there were only primitive roads to the western states and territories (Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois). The Federal Highway System would not be developed until the Great Depression during the NINETEEN Thirties. Transporting goods from farm or manufacturer to market by wagon was slow and expensive. Canals were used in concert with navigable rivers and the Great Lakes as a cheaper and easier alternative to roads for long distance bulk transport on boats to and from the West (as well as within the territories and new states), but it was still slow. The business and industry of railroading was itself a new technology to the United States, imported from England. It held the promise of being both cheaper than road transport and faster than canal transport. The Eastern States were farming cereal grains, but the land was not rich for farming, and domestic consumption did not leave much grain left over for export to Europe. The West was growing more grain than its own population could use, and the Eastern port cities wanted in on the action. Unfortunately for them, a mountain range, the Appalachians, lay between this abundant grain and the merchants who wanted to sell it overseas. The importance of canals in the development of Ohio and other states cannot be overstated. However, the prevailing transportation modes of the day were not suited to the task of hauling a large volume of heavy goods up and over the mountains. This was the impetus behind the first railroad construction in the United States, the BO, which was chartered in 1825 (by comparison, the Erie and Ohio Canal connecting the Ohio villages of Cleveland on Lake Erie and Portsmouth on the Ohio River by 1832, was also chartered in 1825). The Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central System (or their proxies and/or acquisitions) would be major players in this Nineteenth Century push from the East Coast to the Ohio River, Lake Erie, and beyond. The Baltimore Ohio, Chesapeake Ohio, Norfolk Western, Erie, and other railroad companies and their proxies or acquisitions would follow (each with a rich, interesting, and sometimes dramatic history). Over the course of some fifty years the state of Ohio would be both a goal and then a thoroughfare as the major eastern railroads reached Chicago and St. Louis. During this time many regional railroads within the state were chartered as well. These companies hauled the raw materials used in iron production from the mines to the mills, as well as finished products and agricultural goods from the mills and farm bureaus to market. They proved to be every bit as vital to the industries and communities that they served as their larger brethren. Railroad map of Ohio published by the State. 1890. Prepared by J. A.

First, consider this Bloomberg news story today about the value of the dollar: LONDON, Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar fell against the yen on expectations a report tomorrow will show the U.S. current-account deficit widened to a record. The current- account deficit, which includes trade and investment and is a measure of the amount of money leaving the United States, probably widened to $132 billion in the third quarter from $130 billion, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts. 'If flows into the United States start to slow down, that's a problem for the dollar,' said Ian Stannard, a currency analyst at BNP Paribas. The dollar was also hurt by concern John Snow, nominated by President George W. Bush to be the next Treasury secretary, may let the U.S. currency weaken to boost demand for U.S. exports. The U.S. currency is up 3.2 percent against the yen in the last month. The National Association of Manufacturers has called for a weakening of the currency, saying dollar strength hurts U.S. competitiveness on the world markets. Why don't journalists ever spell out exactly how U.S. government policy may let the U.S. currency weaken? Why doesn't ANYONE ask exactly how this is accomplished? The U.S. government insists that it has undertaken no foreign exchange interventions for years. Yet the phrasing of this Bloomberg story suggests that the government has undertaken certain unspoken policies to keep the dollar strong relative to other currencies, policies that function as easily and quickly as pushing a button. So what the heck are they? If there is no direct intervention in the foreign exchange markets, there would seem to be only one option for keeping the dollar strong or letting it weaken -- manipulating the gold price through intermediaries. Adjusting the value of the dollar without the announcement of such a policy and the mechanism by which it is to be carried out is itself the rigging of all markets that trade in dollars. This the government is capable of doing this is acknowledged in this Bloomberg story, and it is clear to anyone who is willing to see it or ask a question. * * * Market analyst Clif Droke has written a recommendation for one of GATA's corporate sponsors, Teryl Resources Corp.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/12.13E.conyers.lott.htm t r u t h o u t | Letter Conyers Calls on Lott to Resign: He Has Lost His Credibility on Civil Rights Wednesday, 11 December, 2002 Congressman John Conyers, Jr., Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee and Dean of the Congressional Black Caucus sent the following letter today to Republican Leader, Trent Lott calling for his resignation. December 11, 2002 The Honorable Trent Lott Republican Leader S-230 The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Lott: I was astonished by your remarks at last week's birthday reception for Senator Thurmond. You claimed that the country would have been better off, and wouldn't have had all of those problems, if other states had followed Mississippi and had supported the Dixiecrat Party ticket in the 1948 presidential election. Your callous comments were incredibly insulting, and outrageous for any American to make - let alone the prospective Senate Majority Leader. The recent revelation of your similar endorsement, during the 1980 elections, of Senator Thurmond's Dixiecrat campaign is a chilling confirmation that your remarks last week were not a spontaneous slip of the tongue. President Bush and the Congress currently seek to promote patriotism and to explain America's basic values to the world. Especially at such a time, your remarks are so un- American that they disqualify you from continuing as the Majority Leader of the United States Senate therefore, I must call on you to resign. I realize you have apologized to anyone whom you might have offended through a poor choice of words. That only compounds your slap in the face of all African Americans. Even after you had seen how much you had upset the public, you did not disavow what the Dixiecrat Party stood for. Whatever your choice of words, the plain intent was clear. The Dixiecrat Party's agenda was to preserve segregated schools, segregated public facilities, and segregated armed forces, and to prevent African-Americans from voting. Were you suggesting that America would have been better off if President Truman had not desegregated the armed forces? Were you suggesting that America would have been better off if the Nation's modern the civil rights legislation had been blocked - if we had no Voting Rights Act, no Civil Rights Act of 1964, no Fair Housing Act and no African-American elected officials in Mississippi? Even worse, your limited acknowledgment that only some people might have been offended by your remarks portrayed gross insensitivity to millions of Americans. In addition, a key question for the 108th Congress is whether civil rights laws will be enforced and strengthened, or whether the attempts will be made to undermine them. You no longer have credibility on this crucial issue.

This will help you to keep pace with the changes in the markets. Bonner and I agree on most things in the field of economics, so the two letters reinforce each other. --- Espousal of the Fattest The Daily Reckoning London, England Wednesday, 11 December 2002 *** Poor Cherie Blair... *** Stocks up, gold down...Pigs fly over Broad and Wall... *** Markets head to disorder...the dollar too...smartest readers in the world...who says reindeer can't fly? All we can tell from The Times of London is that the Dow went up and the price of gold went down yesterday. So, we leave the rest of the financial reporting to Eric today and move on to more serious matters. I am sorry, says the front page headline in The Times, hanging over a large picture of the Prime Minister's wife like a prison sentence. We searched high and low in the paper to try to find out what Cherie Blair was so sorry about. She is no Superwoman, she admitted. Permitting itself an opinion in prime time news space, it was the tortured cry of career mothers everywhere, continued the headline. Career woman, lawyer, mother, Prime Minister's wife...Cherie was juggling a lot of balls, the paper explained. Was it any wonder she let one or two drop? Sometimes I feel I'd like to crawl away and hide, Ms. Blair continued. Yet, after several pages of newsprint, we were still not sure what ball the woman dropped. The poor woman is crumbling down... She had to delay her press conference by 40 minutes for fear of cracking up. All of Britain now knows how she feels. And how the press have made her life difficult and how tough it is for a modern woman to 'have it all,' - career, family, friends, investments, politics. All now know, for example, that Cherie is Catholic, has at least a few dodgy friends, including one 'lifestyle advisor' that must have gotten incarcerated on a bum rap...and that she does exercises to 'release sexual energy'. But at least, from the Times account, few would be able to spot Cherie's lost balls unless they tripped over them. Your editor thought he saw one. Cherie Blair, he believes, is one of the first victims of the housing boom. It appears (and much of this is guesswork) that Blair bought apartments in Bristol, hoping to take advantage of a bull market in housing. Her mistake was that she did so in the company of a man whom the British are trying to deport, for various crimes and misdemeanors unmentioned in the Times' Wednesday edition. Asked about it by nosey reporters, she seems to have forgotten key conversations. But whatever she did, the Prime Minister's wife said she did no wrong and pledged not to do it again. Eric, the financial news, please... --- Eric Fry from New York... - Once again, pigs flew over Wall Street. What might seem miraculous out on the farm is a fairly routine event at the corner of Wall and Broad. Yesterday's porcine aviators included Lucent Technologies, which flew 8% higher and Nortel Networks, which soared 19%. Several other stocks also took flight, as the Dow climbed 101 points to 8,574 and the Nasdaq gained about 2% to 1,390. - After so many down days, a relief rally was probably overdue. But we doubt it will provide very much relief, or for very long. The biggest problem with bear-market rallies is that there's no good reason for them.

[CTRL] Israelis Execute 5 Unarmed Job Seeking Terrorists
-Caveat Lector- NY TIMES December 12, 2002 5 Unarmed Palestinians Killed by Israelis in Gaza By MICHAEL WINES with TERENCE NEILAN JERUSALEM, Dec. 12 - Five unarmed Palestinians were shot and killed as they tried to climb over the barbed-wire fence marking the boundary between the Gaza Strip and Israel, the Israeli Army said today. The five were seen by soldiers on Wednesday in an area where Palestinians are barred from entering. Soldiers fired at the five, and their bodies were found this morning, the army said. Ladders were found near the bodies, but no weapons. Palestinians looking for work in Israel often try to climb the fence or cut their way through. Unemployment is high in Gaza, particularly since security measures blocked Israel to Gaza residents. In other action in Gaza, Israeli soldiers killed an armed Palestinian trying attack a Jewish settlement today. A radical faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, claimed responsibility for the failed infiltration. Two Palestinians approached the Gush Katif settlement bloc before dawn, armed with automatic rifles, an Israeli Army commander, Lt. Col. Avi Oved, told The Associated Press. One of the attackers was cutting the perimeter fence, Colonel Oved said. The forces fired on him and killed him, he said. The other one was apparently behind and managed to flee. Their goal was definitely to get into one of the settlements. Also Thursday, the Tel Aviv District Court ruled that it had the right to try Marwan Barghouti, a leader of the current Palestinian uprising and the highest-ranking Palestinian official in custody. The defense argued that Mr. Barghouti, a leader of Yasir Arafat's Fatah movement in the West Bank, had immunity as a Palestinian legislator and that Israeli forces took him illegally from a West Bank home eight months ago. Mr. Barghouti had said he should be treated as a prisoner of war, not a criminal suspect. Israel has accused him of involvement in attacks that killed 26 Israelis. On the political front, a week of internal balloting appeared to edge Israel's Labor Party to the right as two peace activists in the party said on Wednesday that they would quit to join the left-wing Meretz Party in national elections next month. The two, Yossi Beilin and Yael Dayan, finished low in the Labor Party's internal elections this week, in which party members rank their candidates for seats in Israel's Parliament. In the elections on Jan. 28, Labor is expected to win only about 21 seats, 4 fewer than it currently holds. Other Labor candidates gained enough votes in this week's elections to claim all those seats. In Israeli parliamentary elections, citizens vote only for parties, which then apportion their seats among the top finishers in internal ballots like those held this week. Meretz, which advocates moves toward an immediate peace with Palestinian representatives, agreed to rank Mr. Beilin and Ms. Dayan higher on their candidates' list in exchange for their departure from Labor. Mr. Beilin's decision to leave Labor stands as a measure of the party's shift to the right since the Palestinian uprising began 26 months ago. He was one of the primary movers behind the interim peace accord that Israel and the Palestinian Authority signed in Oslo in 1993. The latest opinion polls showed the hard-line Likud Party, led by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, holding a wide lead over the opposition Labor Party. According to the Dialogue research company poll published in the daily Haaretz today, Likud will get 41 seats in the 120-member Parliament, more than double the 19 seats it currently holds.

AER washingtonpost.com Bush Denounces Lott's Remarks Calls Comments 'Offensive' and 'Wrong' Reuters Thursday, December 12, 2002; 1:15 PM PHILADELPHIA - President Bush, in rare criticism of a fellow Republican, said Thursday it was offensive and wrong for Senate Republican leader Trent Lott to have said a segregationist candidate for president should have won in 1948. Any suggestion that a segregated past was acceptable or positive is offensive and it is wrong, Bush said to loud and long applause in a speech about his faith-based agenda. Recent comments by Sen. Lott do not reflect the spirit of our country, Bush said. Lott said Wednesday he made a mistake of the head, not the heart by saying last week the nation would have been better off if 1948 segregationist candidate Strom Thurmond had been elected president. He admitted the comment, made during a 100th birthday tribute to the South Carolina Republican senator, could be seen as offensive and asked for forgiveness. He (Lott) has apologized and rightly so. Every day our nation was segregated was a day that America was unfaithful to our founding ideals, Bush said. And the founding ideals of our nation and in fact the founding ideals of the political party I represent was and remains today the equal dignity and equal rights of every American. © 2002 Reuters A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

The .55 grain bullet is not much larger or heavier than a 40 grain .22 long rifle bullet but is propelled by an inordinately large amount of gunpowder, hence its ~3000 feet per second muzzle velocity and basically flat trajectory over short distances. Anyone with a decent .223 rifle available retail could consistently put shots into a 4 circle at that distance. A trained shooter with an accurized rifle would be able to shoot most anything at less than 100 yards with a .223. I used to put repeated shots in a 1 hole at 100 yards in calm conditions with a .22 caliber smallbore target rifle. There is one thing however, the noise from an unsilenced .223 is extremely loud. It would be heard by anyone within probably 200 yards even if there were a lot of ambient traffic noise. Andrew Wilt Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

The Bank of Japan, Japan's central bank, has begun purchasing stocks held by the nation's commercial banks. The BoJ creates digital money to buy the shares. The shares now in the BoJ's possession serve as legal reserves for the expansion of Japan's money supply. This has begun to move the monetary system from credit money to pure fiat money. The ability of the central bank to expand the money supply will no longer be limited by people's willingness to borrow. Now the only limit will be the willingness of sellers to sell. In a time of economic slowdown and a premium on cash, there are few limits on hard-pressed sellers' willingness to sell. The first effect of this increase in the money supply is this: commercial banks will spend the money they have received from the BoJ. Money created is money spent. Money does not sit idle in any bank's account. Banks make money by lending money or by buying assets, such as government debt. If an low-risk asset pays anything above zero, the bank will buy it if there is no better opportunity. Better something than nothing; better a little income than no income. When the bank buys an asset from someone, the asset's seller becomes the owner of newly created money. He spends it or invests it or deposits it in his bank. So, the money is passed from buyers to sellers. It will stay in circulation. It will remain in someone's bank account. The second thing that happens when the BoJ purchases equity is that the commercial bank gets rid of a depreciating asset, or a high-risk asset, and transfers it to the BoJ. Japanese banks are unable to meet the capital requirements that were imposed in 1988 at the Basle Accord. The richest nations, known collectively as the G-10 nations, agreed to higher capital requirements for their commercial banks. This was a year before the Japanese economy peaked. Japanese banks are allowed to use the value of stocks in their portfolio to count as part of their capital requirements. The Japanese stock market was a bubble in 1988. The shares were rising. Japanese banks had money to lend because their capital looked secure. Beginning in January, 1990, the Japanese stock market started down. It has never again approached the December, 1989 high. Bank capital therefore began to shrink at the same time that poor real estate loans ceased to produce interest income. Japan has never been able to meet the Basle Accord's timetable. But Japan is too big to fail. There is no way for the other nations to impose meaningful sanctions on Japan for not enforcing the Basle Accord. Over 100 countries have formally adopted the terms of the Accord. Predictably, only a handful of them have actually met the Accord's requirements, which are restrictive in the expansion of money in a fractional reserve banking system. When banks slow their lending because they have hit legal restrictions in the form of capital requirements, economies that have been growing cease growing. This is politically unacceptable to politicians and central bankers. Policy-makers want the benefits of a pure gold coin standard -- stable prices, no boom-bust cycle -- but without the political restrictions of a gold standard: public control over the money supply through bank runs in gold coins, the inability of governments to sell lots of new bonds to banks without raising interest rates, and economic growth determined exclusively by factors in a free

[CTRL] Netanyahu's Nephew Jailed over Refusal to Join 'Israeli Occupation Army'
-Caveat Lector- http://www.arabia.com/newsfeed/article/english/0,14183,348604,00.html Some will recognise references to Verdun. AER Netanyahu's Nephew Jailed over Refusal to Join 'Israeli Occupation Army' December 10, 2002, 07:58 PM Artzi hates war and would rather spend time in jail than serve in the army. But, he is not just any conscientious objector, hes the nephew .. OCCUPIED JERUSALEM - The Israeli army sentenced Jonathan Ben Artzi to a 35-day prison term Sunday, December 8, for refusing to serve in the army, his sixth sentence since he was first jailed on August 8. He has since spent 126 days in prison, in what his father says is a record in Israel for a conscientious objector. Artzi hates war and would rather spend time in jail than serve in the army. But, he is not just any conscientious objector, hes the nephew of Israels ultra-nationalist foreign minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP). For the same reasons, the army handed a 28-day prison term to Uri Yaacobi, who has already spent 106 days behind bars. Israelis are called to arms when they turn 18. Men serve for three years and women for 21 months, while ultra-Orthodox Jews are exempted on religious grounds. Yoni, 20, is the youngest son of the Ben Artzi family, who divide their time between occupied Jerusalem, France and the United States. Before leaving Israel to work in New York, both his brother and his sister completed their compulsory military service in Israel. But they werent very enthusiastic either, said the father, Matania Ben Artzi, who served 13 years in the army, first in an elite unit and then as a mathematician for military scientific research. His wife Ofra was also in the army when they met, but she was the one who turned him into a pacifist. Jonathan has always been revolted by violence and everything related to the army, AFP said. His first real shock came when he was 12, his father recounted. We were visiting the Verdun battle field in France and the sight of those endless crosses and the ossuary with the remains of 150,000 unknown soldiers killed in World War I had a traumatic effect on him. During his time in high school in occupied Jerusalem, he actively promoted issues linked to pacifism. He enjoyed sports but refused to learn karate, and one day even gave up on a school outing because the bus had to drive through the Palestinian territories, where the army had imposed a curfew. Already back then, it was his way of protesting against the Israeli armys occupation of the Palestinian territories, his mother said. It came as no surprise when at the age of 17, Jonathan refused to join up after receiving his first conscription call. He didnt even try to be exempted for medical reasons or anything else, his father said. He demanded, in vain, the right to be a civilian conscript and even insisted on his pacifism to publicize his struggle. Jonathan is slowly making a name for himself in Israel, where conscientious objectors are few and far between. The young man even went as far as dragging the army in front of the supreme court, although nothing came of it. In a country where the army is divine and sacred, hes more than a traitor, the father said, charging that Israeli democracy is nothing more than a facade. During a recent family diner, Netanyahu, who is married to the sister of Jonathans father and leads the ultra-nationalist camp in the right-wing Likud party, briefly broached the sensitive issue: Maybe youll change your mind. In his army years, the charismatic nationalist politician served in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit. His brother commanded the same unit when he was killed in a 1976 rescue mission on a hijacked plane in Entebbe, Uganda. But his notorious uncles gentle prodding did not shake Jonathans determination. Quite the opposite. A mathematics student in occupied Jerusalem, he has taken up law on the side. On Sunday he told his parents he intended to lodge an appeal over his jail sentence with the International Court of Justice in The Hague. -IslamOnline News Agencies (islamonline.net).

By early Tuesday morning the masses had every Commercial TV station in the nation surrounded. Their weapons were nonviolent and theatrical: pots, pans, fireworks and thousands of defiant but smiling faces. Only at one TV installation in one of the outlying provinces - in Maracay State - did the public actually invade the facilities of a station that uses the public airwaves. Everywhere else, including at all the national TV stations in Caracas, immense restraint has been shown by the masses protesting outside of them. The bluff of the former ruling class and its media that their top-down imposed sabotage of the Venezuelan economy and oil industry of the past week is somehow a popular strike has been called. The strike leaders, including corrupt oil union boss Carlos Ortega, have, in recent hours, disappeared from public view, abandoning their own supporters among the upper classes. To make sure the coup plotters dont flee the country, the neighbors of Simón Bolívar International Airport near Caracas have surrounded the airport as well. The coup supporters, including the rogue ex-military officials from Aprils attack on democracy who in recent days have called unsuccessfully for military coup, promptly abandoned Plaza Altamira last night, their physical base: the public stage they had occupied continuously for the past few weeks. Coup Plotters' Plaza Altamira is EmptyConfronted with the rising of the more massive and true majority of Venezuelan Civil Society, the rogue officers and the elite of Caracas have retreated, returning to their homes to watch the conflict on TV as fireworks

[CTRL] ''Here's to you, Rev. Robertson ...
-Caveat Lector- http://www.bankindex.com/_private/print.asp?ID=1544 PRINT THIS ARTICLE E-MAIL THIS ARTICLE ''Here's to you, Rev. Robertson, hey hey hey!'' By Yusuf Agha YellowTimes.org Columnist (United States) (YellowTimes.org) Dear Rev. Robertson, Last Friday, after a month of religious fasting, I said my Eid prayers in a tiny mosque tucked away in a small New England hamlet, accompanied by a few hundred other Muslim men, women and children. Outside lay a blissful meadow covered with a blanket of fresh white snow. We prayed for peace in America and the Muslim world overcast by the specter of war -- Iraq, Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, Afghanistan -- and for peace on earth. As always, we prayed for our families and our prophets, for that thread of personages that stretches from Adam to Abraham, Moses through Jesus, culminating at Muhammad (bless them all). I drove home listening to the songs of those soothsayers of peace, Simon and Garfunkel, on my car radio. With the beautiful, lilting music of yesteryear in the background, Reverend, I dwelt on the unkind words you had said about Muhammad - - the only prophet in the long lineage that separates the Muslims from the Christians -- and Islam. God bless you, please, Rev. Robertson, Heaven holds a place for those who pray (Hey hey hey, hey hey hey). Here's what you said, Reverend: There is no doubt that the religion of Muhammad and those who adhere to it firmly is extreme and violent. You claimed Islam is a monumental scam and that prophet Muhammad was an absolute wild-eyed fanatic ... a robber and brigand ... a killer. You proclaimed that the Koran teaches that the end of the world will not come until every Jew is killed by Muslims. Not to be left behind, your friend, Reverend Falwell, chimed in to call the Prophet Muhammad a terrorist, as well. Words are dangerous, you see, they echo and they swell. The Secretary of State rejects your kind of loathing, Mr. Robertson. General Powell says, We will reject the kind of comments ... where people in this country say that Muslims are responsible for the killing of all Jews, and who put out hatred. This kind of hatred must be rejected. And so does President Bush, who visited the Islamic Center in Washington earlier this week. After kindly removing his shoes on entering the mosque, Mr. Bush praised Islam for inspiring countless individuals to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and morality. Previously, the President had called Islam a religion of peace, and said that Islam affirms God's justice and insists on man's moral responsibility. In view of these conflicting statements, I thought I should get to know you a little better: We'd like to know A little bit about you For our files. We'd like to help you learn To help yourself. On the Internet, I found you snugly sandwiched between your brethren televangelists. There you were -- the gangs of four, twittering like birds-of-a-feather: Bakker, Falwell, Swaggart and Robertson. Let's leave Slurpin' Swaggart out of this, since he has found uses for his staff -- uses other than splitting the Red Sea: Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes. It's a little secret, Just the Swaggart affair. Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids. Nor let us disturb Pastor Bakker (man of God) so comfortably curled up in a fetal position, serving his 45-year sentence for fraudulently selling time-shares: Where have you gone, Jim Baker-o? Tammy turns her lonely eyes to you (Ooo ooo ooo). Let's even gloss over Rev. Falwell, (God bless his little hostile takeover bid of the Bakker empire) who blames 9-11 on liberal groups in America. His attacks on Tinky- Winky, the purple male-voiced Teletubby, as being gay is a valid testimony of his state of mind: the Reverend's National Liberty Journal has warned that his antenna is shaped like a triangle - the gay-pride symbol! Coo coo ca-choo, Rev. Falwell, Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo wo wo). So that leaves you, Mr. Robertson: And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming. Writing in Hinduism Today, Valli J. Rajan finds that It's not that unusual for Pat Robertson's daily Christian TV show, the '700 Club,' to portray other religions in less than a complimentary light. Jews, Muslims and occasionally Hindus are singled out for a scathing recounting of their spiritual errors. Mr. Rajan notes that in one of your shows, you labeled Hinduism as demonic and advocated keeping Hindus out of America. In the Sephardic News, S. Alfassa notes Pat Robertson asserts that unconverted Jews will spend eternity in the Christian hell, and quotes you saying: The Jews will cry out to the one they have so long rejected, and He will come in heavenly power to give them deliverance. In Liberia, you chose to bed with dictator Charles Taylor (whom the BBC calls a ruthless political operator) to hunt for gold in the southeast Bukon Jedeh region, on a deal reportedly worth $48

URL: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi? file=/chronicle/archive/2002/12/11/MN169421.DTL Jerusalem -- There has been little love lost between the United Nations and Israel over the decades. U.N. resolutions may have paved the way for the creation of the Jewish state in 1948, but relations have long been troubled both at a political level and operationally on the ground. The deaths in recent days of three U.N. employees during Israeli military operations have sunk those ties to a new nadir. The situation, at least on the ground, is pretty bad. A lot of people in the U.N. are quite troubled by Israeli actions, said one regional diplomatic source. Israeli officials charge that Palestinian U.N. employees are providing cover for militants and even take part in terror activities by working for the U.N. by day and as terrorists by night. Some U.N. workers are involved in terror, said Raanan Gissin, an aide to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. They are aiding and abetting it, too, by allowing (militants) to operate in the (refugee) camps. U.N. officials deny that any employees in the West Bank and Gaza are connected to extremists, although Hamas identified a U.N. teacher who was killed during an Israeli raid in Gaza on Friday as a member of that militant group. The round of accusations was touched off by the death last month of Iain Hook, a Briton working for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), during a gunfight between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan demanded that Israel conduct a rigorous investigation . . . and hold accountable those responsible. And more than 60 U.N. relief workers issued an unprecedented petition condemning the army in the strongest possible terms for this wanton act against an unarmed man. Israel has since released a message that Hook left on an officer's phone minutes before he died in which he said he was trying to prevent armed Palestinians from entering the UNRWA compound in Jenin. It charged the Palestinians with the cynical use of the civilian population and relief organization buildings as a cover for terrorist activities. Palestinians are trying to escalate the situation, said Gissin, and one way to create friction is to try to do it via the U.N. Angry U.N. officials say there were no gunmen inside the building. The accounts that Israeli officials have given regarding the death of Iain Hook run counter to reports from U.N. officials, said Mark Dennis, an aide to the world body's special representative in the region, Terje Roed Larsen. UNRWA Commissioner General Peter Hansen was less circumspect, referring to the deaths of people working for a humanitarian agency as completely unacceptable. The ill feeling resurfaced just days later when the U.N.-affiliated World Food Program blamed Israeli soldiers for blowing up a Gaza warehouse that stored food for 40,000 destitute Palestinians. The military said the upper floors were used for terrorist activity. Then on Friday, an Israeli operation against militants in a Gaza camp killed 10 Palestinians, including two UNRWA workers, triggering new U.N. charges of the indiscriminate use of heavy firepower. UNRWA was established in 1949 to carry out relief programs for Palestinian refugees who fled or were made homeless in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war until a political solution was found. Fifty-three years later, there is no settlement and the agency continues to provide education, health, relief and social services to more than 3.7 million registered refugees in the Middle East. Among them are more than 1.5 million in the West Bank and Gaza, the majority of whom live in around 27 camps served by 260 UNRWA schools and 50 health care facilities. UNRWA is at the point of sharpest conflict right now. But it reflects a broader problem of crisis of confidence that Israel has with the U.N., which it sees as having been co- opted by Palestinians, as corrupt and lacking in professionalism, said Gerald Steinberg, an analyst at Tel Aviv's Bar Ilan University. Posters of suicide bombers have appeared in the walls of UNRWA schools and buildings, including the U.N. girls school in Jenin. When they kill a martyr, we will kill 100 Jews, reads graffiti

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: Vladimir Krsljanin To: mailto:Undisclosed-Recipient:@smtp.sps.org.yu Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 6:19 PM Subject: DECLARATION OF RUSSIAN DUMA ON MILOSEVIC (full text) DECLARATION OF THE STATE DUMA On the inhuman treatment of the political prisoner Slobodan Milosevic by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia The State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation with deep concern receives the information on the sharp deterioration of the health of the former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Slobodan Milosevic, who is held in prison of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague. According to the official sources from The Hague, during nine months of the process in the case of Slobodan Milosevic (since February 2002) the ICTY sessions have been disrupted four times, which makes 31 working day (without weekends), only due to the bad health condition of Slobodan Milosevic. The lawyers (amici curiae) appointed by ICTY have addressed to ICTY judges a proposal to make a one year recess in the process in the case of Slobodan Milosevic for the same reason - bad health condition of the prisoner. The arterial hypertension associated with the cardiovascular illness, from which Slobodan Milosevic suffers since time before the imprisonment, is an imminent threat to his life. The exhausting many hours long ICTY sessions, the lack of the specialized medical aid and the lack of opportunity to be regularly in fresh air worsen the health condition of Slobodan Milosevic. The former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia undergoes a humiliating procedure which includes putting the hand-cuffs every time when he is transported from the prison to the court and back. The State Duma not once condemned the works of ICTY, as in the Resolutions of the State Duma of June 28, 2001, No.1719-III GD "On the address of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the leadership of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia concerning the outlawing of the handing over Slobodan Milosevic to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia" and of February 15, 2002 No.2480-III GD "On the necessity to impose time limits to the works of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia". In these Resolutions, the critical estimates of the works of ICTY have been given, including the emphases on the violations of the norms of the international humanitarian law and on the political character of ICTY. In relation to the above mentioned, the State Duma considers it a priority that political prisoner Slobodan Milosevic undergo appropriate medical examination administered by Yugoslav doctors and other specialists. The State Duma, in accordance with the provisions of the UN General Assembly Resolution 37/194 of December 18, 1982 on the Principles of Medical Ethics, determining the role of the health care workers, in the first place physicians in medical protection of the prisoners, requests the Government of the Russian Federation to send to The Hague highly qualified Russian doctors to take part in the medical examination of Slobodan Milosevic.

[CTRL] t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | The Pure Essence of Stupid
-Caveat Lector- http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/12.13A.wrp.stupid.htm The Pure Essence of Stupid By William Rivers Pitt t r u t h o u t | Perspective Thursday, 12 December, 2002 On a number of different occasions, permutations of the following comment have appeared on a variety of online forums. Essentially, this is a fragment of what may be the most crystalline rant ever recorded on the internet. I have no idea who the original author is. When considering the recent behavior of the Bush administration, and of some Republicans who rally to his banner, this slice of angry literature comes as close to a defining statement as one may ever see: I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock- hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. George W. Bush holds incontrovertible proof that Iraq is in possession, and is furthermore busily developing, weapons of mass destruction. This, and this alone, proves that the Iraqi declaration recently released to the international community which disavows such weapons is a fraud. This proof also proves that the UN weapons inspectors currently raking Iraq with a fine-tooth comb are wasting their time, totally useless, and never should have bothered in the first place. Of course, there's a catch. There is always a catch with these guys. The word But is inferred in every statement they make, in every claim they broadcast, in every syllable that drops woodenly from the lips of the man who would lead us to peace and security through the crucible of a war that has nothing to do with fighting international terrorism. George W. Bush holds incontrovertible proof that Iraq is in possession, and is furthermore busily developing, weapons of mass destruction. But. You are not allowed see that proof. Neither can the international community see that proof. Neither can the press. Neither can the weapons inspectors, whose job it is to locate and destroy these items, if they exist, in the first place. One would think such data would best be served by placing it into the hands of the individuals tasked to ferret these weapons out. No sale. The UN cannot see this blockbuster evidence. Nor can the media. Nor can the inspectors. Nor can you. This is fine, you see. We trust George W. Bush to such an amazing degree that we are willing and able to be led into war without ever knowing the reason why, because we love him so very much. You don't believe me? Ask Jed Babbin, former Undersecretary of Defense in the first Bush administration. He usually appears on Fox News to speak the Bush administration party line, but December 9th found him speaking the aforementioned party line on the Chris Mathews MSNBC talk show, 'Hardball.' Feast: MATTHEWS: Shouldn't he have to show evidence? You're acting like it's a question mark. Isn't it necessary morally and politically and historically for this president to show his own people and the world he has evidence of weapons of mass destruction before going in? BABBIN: He has no obligations like that, Chris. This is not a trial. This is not a legal proceeding. This is a matter of national survival and national security. MATTHEWS: Well, how do the American people know that there's weapons of mass destruction in that country if the president can't show them there are? BABBIN: Because they trust their president. When he gets up, as he will soon, I believe, and tells them that they do have all the evidence that they need to proceed on Saddam's weapons. MATTHEWS: OK, so it's on his say-so. We're going to war on the president's say-so. BABBIN: That's the way it always is. It is difficult to decide whether this is meta-stupid, dehydrated-rock-stupid, or blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. We can be sure, however, that it is undeniably stupid to the core. The documents say We The People for a reason, remember. This seems to have been lost in the translation towards war. That's the way it always is, said Babbin. That's how it was, anyway...in Vietnam. George W. Bush has tapped John J. Snow to replace blabbermouth former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill. Snow rises to his post from a corporate executive background, having served as the CEO of railroad giant CSX. It seems no one in the administration read the fine print, or if they did, decided said fine print does not matter. Mr. Snow ran a company whose 2001 annual report claimed this as its company
Re: [CTRL] Israelis Execute 5 Unarmed Job Seeking Terrorists
-Caveat Lector- Kinda funny from someone who advocates shooting Mexicans and other illegal aliens as the enter the US. on 12/12/02 2:17 PM, flw at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Caveat Lector- NY TIMES December 12, 2002 5 Unarmed Palestinians Killed by Israelis in Gaza By MICHAEL WINES with TERENCE NEILAN JERUSALEM, Dec. 12 - Five unarmed Palestinians were shot and killed as they tried to climb over the barbed-wire fence marking the boundary between the Gaza Strip and Israel, the Israeli Army said today. The five were seen by soldiers on Wednesday in an area where Palestinians are barred from entering. Soldiers fired at the five, and their bodies were found this morning, the army said. Ladders were found near the bodies, but no weapons. Palestinians looking for work in Israel often try to climb the fence or cut their way through. Unemployment is high in Gaza, particularly since security measures blocked Israel to Gaza residents. In other action in Gaza, Israeli soldiers killed an armed Palestinian trying attack a Jewish settlement today. A radical faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, claimed responsibility for the failed infiltration. Two Palestinians approached the Gush Katif settlement bloc before dawn, armed with automatic rifles, an Israeli Army commander, Lt. Col. Avi Oved, told The Associated Press. One of the attackers was cutting the perimeter fence, Colonel Oved said. The forces fired on him and killed him, he said. The other one was apparently behind and managed to flee. Their goal was definitely to get into one of the settlements. Also Thursday, the Tel Aviv District Court ruled that it had the right to try Marwan Barghouti, a leader of the current Palestinian uprising and the highest-ranking Palestinian official in custody. The defense argued that Mr. Barghouti, a leader of Yasir Arafat's Fatah movement in the West Bank, had immunity as a Palestinian legislator and that Israeli forces took him illegally from a West Bank home eight months ago. Mr. Barghouti had said he should be treated as a prisoner of war, not a criminal suspect. Israel has accused him of involvement in attacks that killed 26 Israelis. On the political front, a week of internal balloting appeared to edge Israel's Labor Party to the right as two peace activists in the party said on Wednesday that they would quit to join the left-wing Meretz Party in national elections next month. The two, Yossi Beilin and Yael Dayan, finished low in the Labor Party's internal elections this week, in which party members rank their candidates for seats in Israel's Parliament. In the elections on Jan. 28, Labor is expected to win only about 21 seats, 4 fewer than it currently holds. Other Labor candidates gained enough votes in this week's elections to claim all those seats. In Israeli parliamentary elections, citizens vote only for parties, which then apportion their seats among the top finishers in internal ballots like those held this week. Meretz, which advocates moves toward an immediate peace with Palestinian representatives, agreed to rank Mr. Beilin and Ms. Dayan higher on their candidates' list in exchange for their departure from Labor. Mr. Beilin's decision to leave Labor stands as a measure of the party's shift to the right since the Palestinian uprising began 26 months ago. He was one of the primary movers behind the interim peace accord that Israel and the Palestinian Authority signed in Oslo in 1993. The latest opinion polls showed the hard-line Likud Party, led by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, holding a wide lead over the opposition Labor Party.

[CTRL] Accuracy In Media - Media Monitor - Los Alamos Fires Real Cops
-Caveat Lector- http://www.aim.org/publications/media_monitor/2002/12/12.html Receive FREE updates by email: Los Alamos Fires Real Cops By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid December 12, 2002 Two Los Alamos investigators, hired to stop a wave of thievery at the nations premier nuclear weapons lab, were recently fired for doing their jobs too well. Glenn S. Walp and Steven L. Doran, highly experienced criminal investigators, learned the hard reality of life inside the U.S. Energy Department and its nuclear weapons laboratories. As a U.S. Senator once observed, (Quote) When problems are uncovered, the labs hide them, classify them, and get rid of the people who discovered them. The firings came as part of Los Alamos effort to limit public exposure of on-going internal abuses of federal credit cards and the loss of millions of dollars of computers, equipment, and high-tech instruments. Several lab employees have been placed on investigative leave, including two under a full FBI field investigation for making more than fifty thousand dollars of what the lab now terms unallowable purchases. Internal lab documents indicate, however, that was only the tip of the iceberg. Since 1999, more than three million dollars of lab property has been reported lost, missing, or stolen. Lab spokesmen dismissed these allegations as overblown. They said that the media have failed to account for depreciation and the value of the missing items was really more like sixty thousand dollars. But the FBI and Energy Department had both opened investigations. In one case, FBI agents were in Phoenix, Arizona, questioning a car dealer about a Ford Mustang allegedly purchased by a lab employee with a government credit card. The internal documents also charged that the lab had obstructed investigations into the thefts and refused to cooperate with local police or the FBI. Lab officials vehemently denied these allegations. But Walp told CBS News Sharyl Attkisson that the more theft they uncovered, the harder the lab tried to bury the problem. Walp also confirmed that the lab told them emphatically that they were not to talk to the FBI. They were fired after being interviewed by the FBI and the Energy Department inspectors. But further evidence of widespread corruption at Los Alamos came when the Albuquerque Journal learned that two expensive knives, allegedly brought with lab money, were missing from an evidence box in Los Alamos security office. Reportedly, two employees accused of using lab funds to purchase personal items were also giving gifts to lab officials responsible for investigating waste, fraud, and abuse. Now evidence of possible bribery has disappeared. This is the fourth major scandal at Los Alamos in the last three years. This one includes the loss or theft of hundreds of computers, many from lab units doing highly classified national security work. Yet the national media, with the notable exception of CBS News, has largely ignored the scandal. Locally, the Albuquerque Journal has kept the story alive, but the Washington Post, supposedly a government watchdog, has yet to publish a single report on the story. No wonder the Congress pays so little attention to such scandals.

-Caveat Lector- You have been sent this message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a courtesy of the Washington Post - http://www.washingtonpost.com Here's the old father - daughter thing again. Shrub and his coupla six packers; John Ellis and his renegade; now, one of the white male Supremes. Ain't no behaviour low enough ... AER To view the entire article, go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A42681-2002Dec11.html GAO Widens Inquiry of Rehnquist By Edward Walsh The General Accounting Office has expanded its investigation of Health and Human Services Inspector General Janet Rehnquist, the daughter of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, beyond its initial focus on widespread personnel changes in her office. According to congressional investigators, the GAO is now also looking into allegations involving the delay in an audit of a Florida pension fund that could have benefited Gov. Jeb Bush (R), the unauthorized possession of a gun by Rehnquist and the shredding of documents after the GAO inquiry had begun. Ben St. John, a spokesman for Rehnquist, confirmed that these additional elements have become part of the GAO inquiry, which he said HHS officials do not consider an investigation but a management review. The GAO is the investigative arm of Congress. Rehnquist, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Alexandria who worked in the White House under then-President George H.W. Bush, supervises a staff of about 1,600, the largest Office of Inspector General (OIG) at any federal agency. One of the office's main tasks is to investigate allegations of fraud and waste in the huge Medicare and Medicaid health insurance programs that are administered by HHS. The GAO first began looking at the operations of Rehnquist's office in October in response to a request from Sens. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and John Breaux (D-La.). In a letter to top GAO officials, the three senators said they were concerned about the impact of the loss or reassignment of several senior managers on OIG operations. In a separate statement, Grassley said that, since Rehnquist was confirmed in August 2001, there had been 19 senior staff changes in the office, including the retirement, resignation or reassignment of six deputy inspectors general, most of whom had at least 30 years experience at the agency. I want the GAO to determine whether the loss or transfer of these key people will erode this office's performance, Grassley said at the time. Since that initial request, the GAO inquiry has branched out into other areas, including an almost six-month delay earlier this year in beginning an audit of a Florida state government pension fund at a time that Gov. Bush, President Bush's brother, was facing a tough reelection battle. The audit, scheduled to begin in April, did not start until September, ensuring that any potentially embarrassing results would not be known until well after the Nov. 5 election in which Bush eventually won a second term. St. John said the audit was delayed at least three times at the request of Florida officials. He said that at least the first request, seeking a delay because the pension fund was about to get a new director, came from Gov . Bush's office and was referred to Rehnquist. But St. John said that the delays were not linked to Florida politics, and that the outcome of the audit would not have been known until after the election even if the audit had started in April. A congressional investigator disputed that assertion, saying that interviews with people in Florida indicated that the audit would have been done before Nov. 5. June Gibbs Brown, Rehnquist's predecessor at HHS who served as IG at four federal agencies, said in an interview that requests to delay an audit are unusual and rarely reach the head of the IG office. Late yesterday, Rehnquist released internal documents on the audit decision and a letter to Grassley in which she said my decision to delay the audit was based on the merits and not motivated by political reasons. According to an internal e-mail message that Rehnquist released, before the audit was delayed, OIG officials expected a draft report on the audit by Sept. 30, more than a month before the election. Rehnquist confirmed yesterday that the delay request came from Kathleen Shanahan, Jeb Bush's chief of staff. Rehnquist said her staff advised her that it was a reasonable request. Congressional investigators said they have also determined that Rehnquist, who apparently has become a shooting enthusiast but is not licensed to own a gun, had an unloaded handgun in her office for a short time. St. John said he knew nothing about a handgun, but confirmed that Rehnquist at one point had a laser gun in her office that she used to practice aiming at a poster of a human figure. A laser gun does not shoot bullets, but aims a beam of light. Another source said Rehnquist

His term as Governor follows a distinguished career of public service. As a two-term state senator, Musgrove chaired the Education Committee. As Lieutenant Governor, he was recognized nationally as a leader among his peers, and served as chairman of the National Conference of Lieutenant Governors in 1998. Currently he serves on the Southern Regional Education Board (chairman), the Southern States Energy Board (chairman), the Executive Committee of the Southern Governors Association, the Southern Growth Policies Board (chairman), and the Executive Committee of the Democratic Governors' Association and the National Governors' Association. Relentless. Determined. Persistent. These are the words used to describe Governor Musgrove's commitment to improving the quality of life for every Mississippian. By targeting education, health care, economic growth and public safety, Governor Musgrove is making a difference for Mississippi. In July 2001, Governor Musgrove signed legislation he championed clearing the way for a historic teacher pay raise for Mississippi's teachers. His plan, when fully implemented, will raise the average teacher pay in the state from 49th to 19th in the nation. The New York Times praised the package, saying Mississippi had put together the kind of package that continues to elude New York. Governor Musgrove is also focusing on providing Mississippi's students with the tools necessary to compete in the economy of the 21st century. He created the Task Force on Classroom Technology, which will place an Internet-accessible computer in every public school classroom in the state by the end of 2002. Also in May 2000, Governor Musgrove unveiled a new plan of action to promote the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides much-needed insurance coverage to the children of Mississippi's working families. Because of his leadership, an additional 52,000 Mississippi children have access to healthcare, an increase of 100 times the number covered when the Governor took office. Governor Musgrove created a new economic development plan, the Advantage Mississippi Initiative. With the passage of supporting legislation, Mississippi now has the advantage over our competing states. The Advantage Mississippi Initiative played a key role in Mississippi's securing of a $1.4 billion Nissan plant with 5,300 jobs. A graduate of Northwest Community College, the University of Mississippi and the University of Mississippi Law School, Governor Musgrove is the proud father of two children, Jordan (17) and Carmen Rae (14).

"The Americans have tried to discuss the issue, including at a level of [direct negotiations] with companies," said Nikolai Tokarev, head of Zarubezhneft, which has been operating in Iraq since the 1960s.

The statement reflected growing concern among Russian officials and businessmen that a possible U.S. military operation in Iraq could damage Moscow's economic interests in the country. Russia fears that a new regime in Iraq might renege on Baghdad's obligations to pay off its $7 billion Soviet-era debt to Moscow and award lucrative oil contracts to U.S. and other Western companies, snubbing Russian firms.

[CTRL] Media Giants Crave ABSOLUTE Control
http://www.americanfreepress.net/12_11_02/Media_Giants_Crave/media_giants_crave.html Media Giants Crave ABSOLUTE Control Some populist critics of the major media giants in America say that “The Media Is the Enemy,” Well, if other people have their way, the wealth and power of the mass media and its concentration in increasingly fewer hands will be greater than ever before. Exclusive To American Free Press By Michael Collins Piper If you think that the masters of the American media —men such as Edgar Bronfman, Sumner Redstone, Rupert Murdoch, S.I. Newhouse, Mortimer Zuckerman, Lawrence Tisch and others—are rich and powerful now, just wait till you see what the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has in store for them. The FCC is considering loosening or doing away entirely with regulations that limit the number of newspapers and radio and television outlets that a single company can own. Americans have until Jan. 2—no later—to register their opposition with the FCC. (See accompanying information on how to contact the FCC on page 20.) Although all of this is being proposed in the name of “the free market,” this would be a major boon to the increasingly smaller number of global corporate media giants that are swallowing up once independent local newspapers and broadcast outlets across America and around the world. Such a move would also give expanded political clout to the already immensely powerful lords of the media allowing them—for example—to own a major television station and newspaper in the same town or city, thereby effectively having a monopoly on local news coverage. Advocates of “deregulation” say that because so many Americans now have access to the Internet and can thereby call up many news sources—literally, worldwide—that there is no longer any need for “out of date” regulations. In addition, advocates say that because of the expansion of satellite and cable television, previous concerns about the concentration of media ownership are no longer valid. While it is true that the Internet has provided a communications/outreach explosion of unprecedented proportions—just in the last several years alone—most Americans get the bulk of their news and information from their local “mainstream” newspapers and television and radio which are themselves increasingly being grabbed up by major media monopolies. For example, in the small city of Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, the New York-based Newhouse family controls the major daily newspaper, The Patriot. The Newhouse family’s Advance Communications also controls a number of smaller weekly newspapers in both suburban and rural “bedroom” counties surrounding Harrisburg. Most of those people have no idea that their “local” newspaper is actually owned by a national media conglomerate held tightly in the hands of a super-powerful billionaire family. Americans who use the Internet for “other” information tend to frequent the web sites of “major” widely-publicized and “fashionable” newspapers such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune and The Los Angeles Times. However, what many of those who fancy themselves to be “in the know” because they access multiple “big name” newspapers do not realize is that the owners of The Chicago Tribune, for example, are also the owners of The Los Angeles Times and New York’s Long Island-based Newsday and The Hartford (Connecticut) Courant, to mention several in the Tribune Co.’s stable. So many readers who think they are getting “alternative” information from other news sources are victims of the growing media monopoly that prefers to keep its concentration of elite ownership out of the realm of public understanding and discussion. As one would expect from an appointed bureaucrat with high-level political connections, the FCC’s chairman Michael Powell—son of Secretary of State Colin Powell—is taking a non-committal position on the controversial issue. Unfortunately, the issue is only “controversial” to those who are aware of the issue, since the matter has been largely relegated to the business pages of the major metropolitan dailies. The concept of media ownership and control being increasingly taken into the hands of fewer and fewer families and financial groups is not widely debated or understood. There is something you can do about it: make your voice heard. You have until Jan. 2 to contact the FCC and tell the commissioners that you are opposed to all plans to loosen current ownership restrictions. Urge the commissioners to tighten current standards and restrict the growth of the media monopoly in America.

[CTRL] Rep.McKinney: Bush Must Answer Sept.11 Questions
-Caveat Lector- http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/opinion/0402/0415equal.html Bush must answer Sept. 11 questions By CYNTHIA McKINNEY The need for an investigation of the events surrounding Sept. 11 is as obvious as the need for an investigation of the Enron debacle. Certainly, if the American people deserve answers about what went wrong with Enron and why (and we do), then we deserve to know what went wrong on Sept. 11 and why. Are we squandering our goodwill around the world with what many believe to be incoherent, warmongering policies that alienate our friends and antagonize our allies? How much of a role does our reliance on imported oil play in the military policies put forward by the Bush administration? And what role does the close relationship between the Bush administration and the oil and defense industries play, if any, in the policies being pursued by this administration? We deserve to know what went wrong on Sept. 11 and why. After all, we hold thorough public inquiries into rail disasters, plane crashes and even natural disasters in order to understand what happened and to prevent them from happening again or minimizing the tragic effects when they do. Why, then, does the administration remain steadfast in its opposition to an investigation into the biggest terrorism attack upon our nation? News reports from Der Spiegel to the London Observer, from the Los Angeles Times to MSNBC to CNN, indicate that many different warnings were received by the administration. In addition, it has even been reported that the United States government broke Osama bin Laden's secure communications before Sept. 11. Sadly, the United States government is being sued today by survivors of the U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa because, from court reports, it appears clear that the United States had received warnings, but did little to secure and protect the staff at our embassies. Did the same thing happen to us again? I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of Sept. 11. A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case. For example, it is known that President Bush's father, through the Carlyle Group, had -- at the time of the attacks -- joint business interests with the bin Laden family's construction company and many defense industry holdings, the stocks of which have soared since Sept. 11. On the other hand, what is undeniable is that corporations close to the administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of Sept. 11. The Carlyle Group, DynCorp and Halliburton certainly stand out as companies close to this administration. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld maintained in a hearing before Congress that we can afford the new spending, even though the request for more defense spending is the highest increase in 20 years. All the American people are being asked to make sacrifices. Our young men and women in the military are being asked to risk their lives in our war against terrorism while our president's first act was to sign an executive order denying them high deployment overtime pay. The American people are being asked to make sacrifices by bearing massive budget cuts in the social welfare of our country, in the areas of health care, Social Security and civil liberties for our enhanced military and security needs arising from the events of Sept. 11. It is imperative that they know fully why we make the sacrifices. If the secretary of defense tells us that his new military objectives must be to occupy foreign capital cities and overthrow regimes, then the American people must know why. It should be easy for this administration to explain fully to the American people in a thorough and methodical way why we are being asked to make these sacrifices and if, indeed, these sacrifices will make us more secure. If the administration cannot articulate these answers to the American people, then the Congress must. This is not a time for closed-door meetings and secrecy. America's credibility, both with the world and with her own people, rests upon securing credible answers to these questions. The world is teetering on the brink of conflicts while the administration's policies are vague, wavering and unclear. Major financial conflicts of interest involving the president, the attorney general, the vice president and others in the administration have been and continue to be exposed. This is a time for leadership and judgment that is not compromised in any fashion. This is a time for transparency and a thorough investigation. U.S. Rep.

Ibrahim (not his real name) said during a news conference in Gaza Monday night that he had been contacted by a man who identified himself as Haj Yousuf from the city of Akka, who told him that he was working for Osama Bin Laden and that he was able to carry out bombings in Tel Aviv and Haifa and other Israeli towns. He told me that all he wanted from me was to declare responsibility for the bombings in the name of al-Qaida, said the masked Ibrahim. He spoke very nicely and told me he would help me financially; then he asked me to try to enlist a number of sincere Islamic-minded youths to set up al-Qaeda cell in Gaza. Ibrahim said his contacts with Haj Yousuf (the Mossad agents) became more frequent, adding that at one point the Mossad agent offered him a monthly salary of up to 3000 US dollars. At a later date, the Mossad agent asked Ibrahim to rent an apartment in Gaza in order to facilitate communications between them. He also promised to provide Ibrahim with a computer and fax machine, saying that communication between the two would be conducted via the internet. Ibrahim said the man would inject his telephone conversations with a lot of Quranic verses and would exhort him to perform daily prayers, particularly the Dawn prayer. However, Ibrahim, said he began to be suspicious of the man when he told him that he knew him and his family. Every thing he told me made me suspect his true identity. He told me he knew me, my home, my friends; he also told me to expect a visit to my home or place of work. Ibrahim said his contacts with Haj Yousuf lasted for five months after which he decided to inform the Preventive Security Force in Gaza of the entire affair. The Israeli government and media have been dumbfounded by the revelation. A spokesman at the Israeli Prime Ministers office issued a terse statement on Tuesday describing these allegations as nonsense. Earlier, a gleeful-looking Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told reporters that Israel had discovered an al Qaeda cell in Gaza and that Israel was a key partner in the worldwide war against terror. The Israeli claims were instantly and vehemently denied by the Palestinian Authority whose leader Yasser Arafat labeled Sharons remarks as a big, big, big lie. Moreover, the PA briefed the US, EU, Russia and the UN on the affair and urged them to be mindful of Israeli designs to carry out massacres and acts of wanton killings in the Gaza Strip under the false rubric of fighting al-Qaeda. -IAP.org.

[CTRL] Ten percent of Israeli soldiers admit to using drugs: army survey
-Caveat Lector- http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/A/JPArticle/ShowFullcid=1039323529543 Dec. 8, 2002 Ten percent of Israeli soldiers admit to using drugs: army survey By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS One in 10 Israeli soldiers admits using drugs during his military service, according to a survey published in an army weekly. Also, the Israeli daily Maariv reported that seven soldiers were arrested last week on the Lebanon border and charged with smoking marijuana while on duty. The newspaper said they were guarding the only active part of the frontier, an area known as Chebaa Farms, when they were arrested. The Israeli military spokesman had no immediate comment. The weekly Bamachane, meant for Israeli soldiers, reported that a survey of soldiers who were completing their military service showed that 10 percent admitted to using drugs while in the army. One third of them said their first exposure to drugs came during their military service. The survey said there was no difference in the rate of drug users among soldiers and officers or between men and women. From age 18, most Israeli men serve three years of compulsory service and women 21 months. Officers serve at least one extra year. The report said the figure of 10 percent compared to 7.9 percent in a similar survey two years ago. However, the military would not provide details of how the survey was conducted, including sampling size and margin of error. Two-thirds of the drug users named marijuana, while 8.7 percent said they had used cocaine, the report said. The weekly quoted the army officer in charge of dealing with drug offenders as saying that half of the soldiers found guilty of using drugs are expelled from the army, though most wanted to stay in uniform. "Soldiers must not leave with the message that it's not so horrible to smoke (marijuana) a few times," said the officer, Lt. Col. Eyal Gil-Paz.

[CTRL] Is This for Real? Woman files lawsuit against President
-Caveat Lector- Woman files lawsuit against President By LeaAnne Klentzman A Fort Bend County woman files a lawsuit on former Governor and current sitting President George W. Bush. Margie Schoedinger of Missouri City, Texas has filed a lawsuit against George W. Bush in Fort Bend County Court. In her suit she is alleging "race based harassment and individual sex crimes committed against her and her husband." The suit lists numerous offenses and asks for actual damages, punitive damages and judgments against George W. Bush. In her suit, among the many allegations, she has stated, "On or about, October 26, 2000, an attempt was made to abduct Plaintiff (Schoedinger) by three unknown assailants. Because of the actions of these assailants, Sugar Land police officers were dispatched to the scene. In the end, no report was taken. The assailants were treated respectfully and allowed to go free while Plaintiff (Schoedinger) was repeatedly and aggressively questioned. After filing a lawsuit, the Plaintiffs family and past contacts were questioned and harassed." As a result, Plaintiff dismissed Plaintiffs lawsuit. Irrespective of Plaintiff dismissing the lawsuit, the harassment continued." Schoedinger, goes on to allege "at some point, she contacted the Houston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, filing a raced based harassment complaint, advising that the Sugar Land Police Department may or may not be harassing Plaintiff on behalf of her neighbors in Sugar Land or possibly on behalf of the First Colony Community Services Association." Schoedinger further states in her lawsuit, "The (FBI) agent in question advised her that the situation appeared to be highly organized and most likely higher level, such as a racist organization." Furthermore she states, "Throughout this conversation, she learned that there was no time that the Defendant (Bush) ever stopped watching Plaintiff, nor did he stop having sex with Plaintiff. The sole concern of the Defendant and his representatives was whether Plaintiff could actually recall whether Plaintiff could actually recall, the individual sex crimes committed against Plaintiff and Plaintiffs husband, utilizing drugs. Section VII of the lawsuit states; "Whether or not Plaintiffs husband was raped remains in question, as Plaintiff was drugged after she was raped and her husband was drugged before her rape. Plaintiff can only state that these men purported to be FBI agents raping her for the purpose of covering for how many times they had drugged her and allowed the Defendant to rape her in the same manner." She also alleges that in writing letters directly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Houston Office," instead of assisting Plaintiff with her concerns, the FBI took on the same demeanor as the Sugar Land Police Department. Eventually, Plaintiff learned, via telephone conversations, that both the Sugar Land Police Department, and the Houston Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation were acting at the behest of the Defendant, George W. Bush. As a part of their defense, the Sugar Land Police Department conducted a background investigation into Plaintiffs past activities. In the end, this investigation yielded the following information: Plaintiff had seven dates, (which became seven lovers), had told no lies, committed no crimes, gotten 2 traffic tickets and dated George W. Bush as a minor." Sugar Land Police Department Captain Marcaurele said his department has no record of any complaints by Ms. Margie Schoedinger. Several attempts were made to contact Ms Schoedinger, she never returned any calls. Ms. Schoedingers law suit was filed on December 2, 2002 and is currently in the Fort Bend County system in County Civil Court at Law 3. Schoedinger is listed as her own legal representative.

Hoffman II, Editor A HREF= http://www.hoffman-info.com/news.html http://www.hoffman-info.com/news.html/A /PRE Dec. 12, 2002 Trent Lott? What of Ariel Sharon? by Michael A. Hoffman II This week Senator Trent Lott gave a vague encomium for Strom Thurmond's early career, when Thurmond was a segregationist, and as a result, Lott is being denounced as harboring segregationist sympathies (while the segregationist himself has had an Air Force jet named in his honor). Meanwhile, the most militantly segregationist nation on earth, Israel is the recipient of billions of dollars in US military aid and has requested billions more. Today the New York Times reported that five unarmed Palestinians were shot and killed as they tried to climb over the barbed-wire fence marking the boundary between the Gaza Strip and Israel...The five were seen by soldiers in an area where Palestinians are barred from entering. Soldiers fired at the five, and their bodies were found this morning, the army said. Ladders were found near the bodies, but no weapons. Palestinians looking for work in Israel often try to climb the fence or cut their way through. Unemployment is high in Gaza, particularly since security measures blocked Israel to Gaza residents. All Palestinians in Gaza, not just members of the Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation, are banned from entering the state of Israel. Because this is a Zionist policy, Americans engage in linguistic circumlocutions to skirt its unmistakably segregationist nature. Five Palestinians were killed today for trying to find a job in territory from which they are banned for racial reasons, and Americans heave a collective shrug of the shoulders. Senator Lott utters two nostalgic sentences and the nation's pundits and politicians issue a call to arms. Under Ariel Sharon Israelis have built trenches around Palestinian cities to keep all Palestinians out of Israel. Sharon has instituted collective punishment in the form of curfews, military closures and mass murder. Face it, Sharon is free to kill any Palestinian, with the exception of Yasser Arafat, and no penalty of any kind will befall him. Palestinians do not have the status of human beings. The Israelis classify them as Amalek --those who are deserving of extermination. Compared to America's blind allegiance to Sharon, Lott's off-the-cuff remark about Thurmond amounts to a tempest in a teapot; though Lott, who has pimped for King George II's emergent police state and proposed war on Iraq, is a decidedly unsympathetic character. If even the fleeting thought of finding something wholesome in the long-dead southern Jim Crow system is an outrage, what of the blank check America gives to the nation of Israel, where citizenship is based on the racial criterion of descent from a Jewish mother? Zionist journalist Yocheved Golani typifies Israeli sentiment when he declares: Many Israelis resent the influx of gentile Russians with doubtful Jewish parentage...Potential olim (immigrants) want to live in an exclusively Jewish homeland, where their children will meet marriageable Jews not...crime-committing goyim. (Cf. http://www.ygolani.com) Jewish supremacy guarantees that Israeli collective punishment, killing and segregation of Arabs, and the maintenance of a racial-nationalist state, will not be the subject of moral censure in the American media. Should Trent Lott resign? Only if the U.S. government resigns its support for Sharon's segregationist state. (Hoffman's latest book is The Israeli Holocaust Against

[CTRL] Someone might want to tell Congress!! IMF: Israel can cope without US aid
-Caveat Lector- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2564981.stm Wednesday, 11 December, 2002, 11:24 GMT IMF: Israel can cope without US aid Israel could cope with its worst recession in 50 years without US aid, the International Monetary Fund has said in its annual report on the country. "It is clear that the US aid will help, particularly in containing the fiscal deficit and stabilising the economy," IMF European Assistant Director Masahiko Takeda said. "But the Finance Ministry is ready to cope with the situation without counting on US aid," he added. Israel's economy has been battered by the global slowdown, hi-tech slump and a two-year Palestinian uprising that has scared off tourists, slashed revenues and sent defence costs soaring. "We see considerable risk that revenue (next year) will fall short of the budgeted amount," the report said. Israel is reportedly seeking $8bn (£5.1bn) in loan guarantees and $4bn in defence and other grants over 10 years from the US, the IMF's biggest shareholder. Cutting interest rates Israel is expected to overshoot its 3.9% budget deficit target substantially this year. Mr Takeda said the government should address the causes of the deficit rather than relying on US aid to plug the gap. In unusually direct advice to Israel's central bank, the Fund called on the Bank of Israel to use "every opportunity" to cut interest rates from 9.1%. It also criticised what appeared to be a politically inspired 2 percentage point rate cut last December, which it said led to a sharp depreciation of the shekel, a surge in inflation and a threat to financial stability. The IMF said it was confident the government was committed to pushing through the budget, due by 31 December, without compromising on spending cuts. Disagreements about funding for Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip led to the dissolution of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government in November. Elections are due to be held on 28 January. A HREF=""www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed.

[CTRL] German cannibal found willing victims on net
-Caveat Lector- THE TIMES December 13, 2002 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-512054,00.html German cannibal found willing victims on net By Roger Boyes Our correspondent reports from Berlin on case of a real-life Hannibal Lecter that has horrified a nation and revived memories of the darkest days of war GERMANY was transfixed in horror yesterday by a case of cannibalism in which an apparently respectable software specialist mutilated and ate a microchip engineer. The cannibal says his victim volunteered to be slaughtered. The man confessed after police thwarted his attempt to find a new victim over the internet: at least five men had already declared their willingness to be eaten. The tabloid daily Bild expressed concern that cannibals could be roaming German streets. They are invisible behind their glasses, their hairstyles, their families, their work, their seemingly unblemished innocence, wrote Franz Josef Wagner, a columnist for the paper. These sick people are hiding among us, they are in our very midst. Cannibalism not only breaches moral and social taboos, it hits a nerve for a whole generation of Germans who remember the desperate eating of human organs during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. Bodies of fallen soldiers frozen in the snow sometimes had to provide meat for the half-starved Wehrmacht in retreat. The three months of hand-to-hand fighting in the icy ruins of Stalingrad during the winter of 1942-3 saw - as German veterans now admit - a frenzied resort to human flesh. After the war, when the soldiers started to trickle back from Soviet captivity, some of the horrific stories were passed on to families. For German literature however wartime cannibalism remained a forbidden subject. This latest case of cannibalism plainly stems from sexual perversion. But the ghost of wartime hunger and the buried secrets of a generation hung over the public debate yesterday. The victim of the ritualistic killing was a 42-year-old leading microchip designer at the electronics giant Siemens, one of the best according to his colleagues. Bernd Jürgen B (his surname has been withheld) was a slim, athletic chainsmoker who lived in a luxurious penthouse suite decked out with £30,000-worth of cutting-edge computer equipment. He disappeared in the spring of 2000 after having first sold his Mitsubishi car and some other valuables. Police now know that he responded to an internet advertisement announcing: Wanted: young, well-built 18-30-year-old for slaughter. The man who placed the advertisement - and who started to advertise again this year - was Armin M (surname withheld) from the charming half-timbered town of Rotenburg in the western state of Hesse. The 41-year-old computer technician was entirely serious: investigators this week found a slaughtering room, complete with meat hooks, in his apartment. Herr M, a former sergeant major in the German army who later worked for the council in Mainz, video-recorded his butchery. Police have confiscated 50 videos which are said to be worth thousands on the very specialised market for cannibal acts. Details from the confessions of Armin M were published in all German newspapers yesterday. He says that he and the victim fried and ate part of the victim's body before leaving the kitchen for the slaughtering room, where Herr M switched on the camera and then stabbed Herr B to death. He hung the body upside down on a meat hook to allow the blood to drain and later sliced it into small chunks, which he wrapped and stored in the deep-freeze. Herr M has been eating Herr B ever since; some pieces were found in the freezer this week. He buried inedible body parts and bones in a garden. These too have been recovered by the police.
