This is not a complete victory yet! It can still be enacted unless he issues another executive order nullnifying it. Keep the heat up! There is a problem in our government. This problem transcends our normal political parties. We have representatives in our government that are allowing the Executive Branch to usurp the Constitution. Since 1933 our representatives have allowed the President of the United States to enact laws without Legislative control. Are we being sold down the river? In 1996 our representatives passed a law that puts into place the National ID card. We are slowly, but surely, mirroring laws in place in Russia and other countries that suppress individual liberties. Recently pResident Clinton signed Executive Order 13083 that all but removes the 10th Amendment from the Constitution. Citizens of North Carolina, I urge you to immediately contact our representatives in Congress and the governor and demand that they protest and bring this insanity to an immediate halt.

Title: 'We think your son has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome'- a case study of monosodium glutamate's effect on a child. Author: Anne Shovic, Robert D. Bart and Apryll M. Stalcup Abstract: A two-year-old boy presented with signs and symptoms of uncontrollable seizures of multiple types mimicking that of Lennox-Gestaut syndrome. It was later diagnosed as monosodium glutamate (MSG) related seizures following a comparison with a similarly related case wherein withdrawal from monosodium glutamate intake resulted to resumption of normal functions. A component of MSG known as aspartame acting as proconvulsant was believed to be the etiologic factor. Control of dietary MSG is the effective prevention of a more drastic intervention. Subjects: Glutamates - Health aspects Monosodium glutamate - Health aspects Chemicals - Adverse and side effects Electronic Collection: A19792007 RN: A19792007 Full Text COPYRIGHT 1997 American Dietetic Association Glutamate is a naturally occurring nonessential amino acid that serves as one of the body's excitatory neurotransmitters (1). It occurs in food as either a free amino acid or bound as a constituent in proteins. Although foods high in protein (eg, meat and dairy products) may have fairly high levels of bound glutamate, free glutamate in foods is thought to be more closely associated with adverse effects (1). Monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is used extensively as a flavor enhancer, can be a major source of free glutamate (2). A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel has declared MSG safe, Stating that MSG poses little health risk (3). However, Daniel Raitin, PhD, who prepared the MSG report for the FDA stated, "Individual sensitivity to food is just beginning to be explored and there is no reason to believe people exquisitely sensitive to MSG are not out there" (4). In a report prepared by the Life Sciences Research Office, Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (1), the ad hoc expert panel acknowledged that preexisting conditions (eg, genetic predisposition, endogenous anomalies in glutamate metabolism, impaired vitamin B-6 metabolism or deficiency) might predispose persons to reactions from MSG. They concluded that it appeared that oral ingestion of MSG had the potential to provoke a response in some persons with severe unstable asthma. In addition, the panel validated some of the work by Olney (5) that implicates MSG in the formation of lesions in certain regions of the brain that are not protected by the blood-brain barrier. The Institute of Food Technologists has also declared MSG to be safe for human consumption (6). Any concern that is mentioned appears to apply only to a small number of adult subjects who consumed large amounts of MSG. Very little information is available on the effects of MSG in sensitivity-heightened children. The following case study illustrates these effects and the unique process that was taken by a mother and health professionals to deal with the situation. CASE STUDY In the fall of 1991, the mother of D.S., a 2.5-year-old boy, noticed that her normally healthy son was experiencing "head dropping" incidents. She later recalled that D.S.'s head would drop suddenly, as if he had sneezed but without the exhalation of air. Although D.S. did not seem to be affected by the episodes, his mother noted that he began stuttering and having unexplained tantrums. By the end of February 1992, the head-dropping episodes were occurring almost every night and with greater intensity. D.S. was brought to a pediatrician after head-dropping episodes

I have seen this post shot down as a hoax, so I offer this links in rebuttal of some that would say Aspartame is not hazardous and support of this post. Nancy Markel was NOT the original author, but overall the post is on track. Another point is that Aspartame is suppose to Mimic MS ect., I personally am not interested in something that even Mimics diseases such as this post describes! Please remember that much of the research that is out there (and that some sites cite - FDA included) saying that Aspartame is NOT hazardous comes from the very company that makes Aspartame.

In the keynote address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject. When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME coverts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants). The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is. In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12 oz. Cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that the aspartame is the culprit. The victim continues its use aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life threatening. When we get people off the aspartame, those with systemic lupus usually become asymptomatic. Unfortunately, we can not reverse this disease. On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus. During a lecture I said "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.), and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss-you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE!" People were jumping up during the lecture saying, "I've got this, is it reversible?" It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture even were suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame! He continued by saying that one of the industry leader's son could no longer walk due in part by product usage! We have a very serious problem. Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto (one of my speakers) and myself and said, "Could you tell me why so many people seem to be coming down with MS?" During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence. Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when aspartame was included in 100 different products. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to no avail. Nothing as been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED! At the time of

The new SBIR Phase IIB Pilot Program supplements the already successful SBIR effort at NSF. SBIR has always been a catalyst for the growth of small high-tech businesses, said Kesh Narayanan, NSF director of industrial innovation. We found that the top 50 successful small business grantees (representing about 10 percent of all Phase II grantees) have accounted for $2.2 billion in direct sales and created 10,000 jobs. The pilot program will help give other small high-tech companies the opportunity to make this sort of impact. [and give at least one of these pilot programs the right to poison our food supply and, though, creating jobs and abundance, cause a huge increase in disease and the occurance of chronic illness; putting millions of American AT RISK!] NSF selected four small businesses to participate in the pilot program based on the intellectual merit and potential impact of their research: Polatomic Corporation, for a miniaturized device to measure the properties of planetary magnetic fields; Pericle Communications Company, for their work to develop a method to double the signal capacity of cellular radio networks; New Light Industries, for the design and application of a holographic printer; and Auxein Corporation, for the development of a metabolic primer to enhance plant growth. SBIR is a congressionally mandated program initiated at the NSF in 1977 to promote the development of innovative technologies by small science and technology-based businesses. SBIR grants are awarded in two phases. Projects under Phase I are funded for a six-month feasibility study. If the projects are determined eligible, they may receive funding for the principal research effort under Phase II. After Phase II, grant recipients are expected to pursue commercial applications of their research without the support of government funding.

Personally, I find that my tolerance for MSG is minimal, and I must avoid almost anything containing the above names, except for the last 3 items in the OFTEN contain MSG list. You may get by with just avoiding everything on the first ALWAYS contains MSG list. However, the natural flavors heading can be very misleading and the source of much pain, because it can contain anywhere from 12 to 33 MSG -- or no MSG at all. The only way to truly know whether MSG is present, and in what amounts, is to write the manufacturer. And, since manufacturers change ingredients frequently, youd have to check with them every few months to make sure it was still OK. Its often easier just to avoid food with natural flavors . Soft drinks, so-called Sports Drinks, candy, chewing gum are potential sources of hidden MSG. (My daughter landed in the Emergency Room with a migraine as a result of one piece of bubble gum known as Gator Gum. Ever try to read the Ingredient Label on a piece of gum?) One-half can of Coca-Cola is enough to give some migraine sufferers a full day of misery. Most iced tea mixes and concentrates contain MSGmake sure your iced tea is brewed when dining out. Reactions to MSG are dose-related, and some people react to even very small amounts. MSG-induced reactions may occur immediately after ingestion, or as much as 48 hours later.

[CTRL] (c)1998 - Purple Pigs and Stunted Crops {long}
-Caveat Lector- EPA probing purple pigs and stunted crops A malady plagues some farms in western Montco and the mid-Atlantic region. More tests are planned. By Matt Stearns INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF Deformed calves. Discolored crops. Purple pigs dying by the hundreds, then decomposing quickly. It isn't some Old Testament pestilence. It's a here-and-now mystery that has driven one farmer in western Montgomery County out of business and has others in the area scared for their own businesses -- and for their health. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials will visit at least four farms today as part of a continuing effort to figure out what is going on, said Carrie Deitzel, an EPA community-involvement coordinator. Thus far, the long series of reported problems, first noted in the early 1990s, has confounded environmental and agricultural officials. The EPA did its most recent round of soil and water testing on the farms in January, and more tests will be run in the next few weeks. "The data we've got back so far do not indicate any kind of environmental or human health emergency out there," Deitzel said. "We're looking at what needs to be done from here on out." Deitzel acknowledged that the lack of environmental danger did not mean the lack of an environmental problem. And the problem does not appear to be restricted to these parts. "This isn't an isolated thing," said Lynn Campbell Wingert, an EPA spokeswoman. "Throughout the mid-Atlantic region, farm animals are dying, and we don't know why. We're going to make any connection we can to figure out what is going on here." One farmer, Wayne Hallowell of Douglass Township, said there was no real way to know how many farms were involved locally because it was unlikely every farmer would be willing to cooperate with investigators. "A lot of farmers with something wrong won't tell anyone," Hallowell said. "They don't want the government coming in and shutting them down, or they're trying to sell their land. They're very tight-lipped on that." But problems there are -- enough that Tom Yarnall, a farmer for 30 years, finally gave up raising pigs on his Gilbertsville spread. Yarnall still grows some corn, but spends most of his time these days as a carpenter. "I had almost 1,000 pigs when this thing started," Yarnall said. "In the spring of '92, it all went downhill. We had whole litters die when they were born." More than 200 pigs died during a two-month period in 1993, Yarnall said. All displayed similar symptoms: turning a purplish color, with newborns just not growing to maturity. His crops also turned purple, and have been stunted for several years, Yarnall said. "The yields are way down," he said. "They just don't do well." The pigs' bodies decomposed in about half the normal time, Yarnall said. Generally, dead pigs decompose in two to seven days, depending on the surrounding climate and other variables, said Arlen Wilbers, a large-animal veterinarian at the Quakertown Veterinary Clinic who examined livestock at Yarnall's farm. "Whatever was in their system broke down their fat," Yarnall said. "They'd turn into slop." Kenneth Kephart, an associate professor of animal science at Pennsylvania State University, investigated the goings-on at Yarnall's farm. "We went at it from a lot of different directions, and unfortunately we came up with zero," Kephart said. "Whatever it was seemed to be pretty persistent. It's extremely rare that you can't find at least some evidence of what's going on." Kephart added that livestock management might have accounted for some of the problems. But Yarnall is not the only local farmer facing unexplained and unusual disease among his livestock. Merrill Mest said he had had a decade's worth at his farm, just a few miles from Yarnall's. "I've had health problems with cows," Mest said. "They just waste away. They don't grow right. Couldn't live, couldn't die. Kind of in-between." Other cows on Mest's farm have had displaced stomachs and cystic ovaries, he said. Wilbers, who is also Mest's veterinarian, said that some of the problems again might be chalked up to livestock management. "Some of the stuff kind of rings true" as being caused by external problems, Wilbers said. "But there's nothing I could specifically say. Nothing seems to crop up" as a definitive cause. Down the road at Hallowell's dairy farm, three deformed calves were born in a year and a half in the mid-1990s -- after nearly 50 years without any deformed calves being born on the land. One newborn calf weighed three times the typical birth weight. Another was born with both a testicle and a vagina. A third was born without a neck, without a tail and with reversed leg joints. During the same period, Hallowell said, several calves on his farm would not grow. "They more or less just deteriorated on us," he said. "If we hadn't gotten rid of them, they would

They impart desirable musk-like odors to consumer products . Consumer exposure to nitro musks in fragrances are estimated to range from 0.04 to 0.32 mg/kg of body weight/day.[3] One musk in particular, musk ambrette (MA, 1-tertbutyl-2-methoxy-4-methyl-3,5-dinitrobenzene), was reported to be a photosensitizer and neurotoxin.[7,14,17] This prompted the International Fragrance Association in 1985 to recommend that MA should no longer be used as a fragrance ingredient. Musk xylol [MX, 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3,5-dimethyl-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene], also known as musk xylene, is another nitro musk recently reported to be carcinogenic in mice? Our article addresses these concerns and discusses the results of surveys of commercial fragrance products for MA and MX conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Musk Ambrette Several years ago, published reports on MA questioned its safe use. MA was found to absorb through rat skin at a rate of 38%[3] and was demonstrated to cause adverse physiological effects in laboratory animals when administered through their diet or applied to their skin.[1,2,3,14,17] In 1985, the IFRA responded to these studies in its Code of Practice by recommending that MA should not be used in products coming into contact with skin. Musk Xylol Early laboratory studies determined that MX did not exhibit the toxic properties observed for MA. MX, which is structurally similar to MA, was found to be nonmutagenic[11]; it exhibited only a weak photoallergic potential,[9] was a weak contact sensitizer[13] and showed no neurotoxic effects.[3] However, recent published reports, which found MX to be carcinogenic when administered to mice through their

[CTRL] Dioxin Exposure Linked to Cancer
-Caveat Lector- http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559425333-2a0 04:20 PM ET 05/04/99 Dioxin Exposure Linked to Cancer Dioxin Exposure Linked to Cancer By PAUL RECER= AP Science Writer= WASHINGTON (AP) _ Chemical workers exposed to high levels of dioxin have a 60 percent increased chance of dying of cancer, but the chemical poses no added cancer risk to the general population, a study says. Kyle Steenland, co-author of the study appearing Wednesday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, said the research suggests most people typically are not currently exposed to dangerous levels of dioxin and that cancer appears to result only among those who had extremely high and long-term exposures to the chemical 15 to 20 years ago. ``There is not a significant increase in cancers until you get to the upper'' exposure levels, Steenland said Tuesday in a telephone interview. ``This is not raising a red flag by saying that low level exposure is causing a lot of cancer.'' He called the finding ``reassuring'' from a public health stand point. Steenland, a researcher with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, said that the amount of dioxin in the environment is steadily declining because the products most commonly linked to the chemical are no longer being made. Dioxin was a byproduct in the manufacture of herbicides and pesticides that were in common use decades ago. Production of the chemicals halted in the mid 1980s, and the environmental contamination has dropped steadily since. However, for those who experienced high exposures, the chemical can persist in the body for decades. Dioxin is one of the chemicals in Agent Orange, the herbicide used by the United States to kill jungle vegetation during the Vietnam War. Hundreds of American troops were exposed to the chemical, but not at the high levels experienced by many chemical plant workers, said Steenland. Dr. Robert N. Hoover, of the National Cancer Institute, said that the study by Steenland and his colleagues is ``a critical piece of evidence'' that shows dioxin, at its present levels in the environment, appears to present no significant threat to general public health. ``The bad news from this study is the evidence that dioxin at high exposures is a'' cancer-causing chemical, said Hoover. ``The good news is that the low levels of exposure (now in the environment) are not likely to contribute much disease.'' In the study, Steenland examined the health record of some 3,500 chemical workers who were exposed to dioxin on the job during the 1960s, '70s and '80s for periods of six months to 20 years. Among workers with the highest exposure rate there was a 60 percent increase in cancer deaths when compared to the rate of cancer deaths among the general public. This increase, said Steenland, was seen only in those workers whose dioxin exposure was 100 to 1,000 times higher than the background exposure of the general public. Steenland said that dioxin seemed to cause all types of cancer. ``The cancer elevation is not in some specific organ,'' he said. ``We saw it in respiratory tract cancers and in digestive tract cancer. It was across the board.'' Steenland said the public health threat of dioxin is declining because nobody is regularly exposed to the high levels that once were common among chemical plant workers. ``Dioxin is not being added to the environment at anywhere near the rate it once was,'' he said. ``It is still produced by incinerators when they burn plastics, but it is becoming less and less.''

The Times describes the process of how the trematode parasites cause limb deformities in frogs, and concludes with comments on how the alarm over the deformed frogs probably unecessarily "diverted scarce tax dollars from more pressing problems to handling out bottled water and aggravated an anti-technology bias in some quarters of this country that ignores its past benefits as well as those yet to come." ==After reading what I have sent today about Dioxins This seems to be a bit hard to believe.== BIOTECHNOLOGY "Experimental Vaccine Cuts Ear Infections In Young Children."

The '"breakthrough"', controlled study of more than 38,000 children showed that the vaccine is not only significant in reducing bouts of ear infections in children but also helps battle antibiotic resistance, a problem often encountered with this particular bacterium. The vaccine, which is being developed by the Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories unit of American Home Products Corp., will be submitted for FDA approval. == Do we mention the fact that Monsanto tried to buy American Home Products and IF American Home Products realize the possibility that Monsanto's bovine growth hormone in milk (which requires the escalated use of antibiotics) could be helping ear infections to happen?== "Arthritis-Drug Ads Won't Name Product."

[CTRL] AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY ON THE CAUSE OF B.S.E. - [Dioxins?]
http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Villa/2836/index.html Title: AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY ON THE CAUSE OF B.S.E. AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY ON THE CAUSE OF B.S.E. April 1998 To: Lord Justice Phillips PO Box 163 LONDON SE99 2UZ Submission to B.S.E. Inquiry In 1992 myself and my family were diagnosed as suffering from Organophosphate sheep dip poisoning by blood tests carried out at Guys Hospital, London. The fact that we all nearly died was seen as an irrelevance by Government departments. There was no treatment offered, or indeed any acknowledgement of our predicament. In simple terms, we were to be ignored to enable Government to cover its tracks - after all, they were responsible for licensing all veterinary products. In the face of such stonewalling, I decided to make my own enquiries, and contacted the following establishments for information - I am extremely grateful for their help: The World Health Organisation The Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, USA The University of New Jersey, USA The Pesticide Trust The Royal Society of Chemistry, London The Hazards Society, London plus many private individuals. I am also extremely grateful to my lawyer for his support and advice. He has copies of all the papers in my possession. With the help of the Royal Society of Chemistry, I obtained scientific information on all the OP compounds used as sheep dips, ie Diazinon, Propetamphos, Chlorfenvinphos, Carbophenothion; and via a third party, went on to Crufomate, which he had used as a warble fly dressing. I later explored all the OPs which had been used in the Gulf War. What I began to find extremely worrying from this collection of information was that all OPs were cholinesterase inhibitors - the damage caused was cumulative, and research using laboratory animals showed that most were carcinogenic and also responsible for malformations in up to and including the third generation of offspring. The destruction of the central nervous system, immune system and peripheral nervous system was also apparent with most OP compounds. My next move was to collect as many published scientific papers as I thought were relevant. Copies of the following are enclosed: 1. Poisoning on the Farm by Dr Redhead, published in the Lancet in 1968. This paper explains the importance of the cholinesterase levels in man. It should be borne in mind that OPs were designed to attack the cholinesterase in insects, and will of course have the same effect on cattle. 2. Effects of Chronic Organophosphate Pesticide Exposure on the Central NervousSystem by Richard J Korsak and Miles M Sato, published in 1977. This paper is important because it exposes the frontal lobe brain damage suffered by exposed victims. 3. Environmental Trichlorfon and Cluster of Congenital Abnormalities by Andrew E Czeizel et al, published in the Lancet in 1993. This paper is devastating in its content, and the fact that it has been ignored in the UK is unbelievable. The effect on the foetus is beyond words. There are many other papers in my possession, which are of course available to the Inquiry, but I hope to have painted an adequate picture of the effects of OP poisoning on the insect, human and animal species for the present. I move on ... As mentioned above, I received an enquiry about Crufomate. The information on this compound, plus the sight of BSE-afflicted cattle on television, made me aware of the alarming similarities in both our situation and that of the cattle. To put it bluntly, the human OP victims were going off their heads and off their legs! The cattle were becoming more obvious than the shepherds (more than 900 shepherds have committed suicide since 1984). Black's Veterinary Dictionary, 10th Edition (1973) provided quite a lot of answers where it describes the effect on cattle treated with Crufomate for warble fly. The VMD deny knowledge of Crufomate (see letter attached) but the British Veterinary Association should still have the results of all the testing done on cattle before they gave their blessing to its usage. I have persistently called for the testing of cholinesterase levels in cattle before and after treatment for warble fly. This is unnecessary - it has been done, and the results should be made available to the Inquiry by the BVA as a matter of urgency. The maternal transmission is explained in the following paper: Reproduction and Growth of Progeny of Female Mice mated after treatment with Crufomate - author M A Khan - Research Station Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada; published in the Journal of Scientific Health in 1981. It is interesting to observe that when the first damning scientific papers on a product are published, the chemical companies
[CTRL] Hogging The Table - March 18, 1996 Volume 147, No. 12 - Water Rights, too.
-Caveat Lector- http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/magazine/archive/1996/dom/960318/agriculture.html TIME Magazine March 18, 1996 Volume 147, No. 12 Return to Contents page HOGGING THE TABLE Corporate pig factories are supplanting traditional farms--and critics are raising a stink about it JOHN GREENWALD Colorado farmers Galen Travis and Jim Dobler have seen the future, and it stinks. Just upwind of their grain fields, a company called Midwest Farms, owned by hog entrepreneur Ronald Houser, plans to build an $80 million facility that will raise 450,000 hogs a year. From Colorado to the Carolinas, enterprising growers like Houser and agribusiness giants such as Cargill and Continental Grain are building such livestock factories to mass-produce hogs for packers like Hormel Foods and John Morrell. But even job-short rural communities are squealing, fearful of environmental problems and resentful of yet another mechanized assault on their way of life. In Colorado, Travis and Dobler are leading a fight to keep Midwest out. It's not just the olfactory affront posed by tons of reeking hog manure that worries them. The megafarm will lap up millions of gallons of water, threatening part of the Oglalla Aquifer, the underground lake that provides drinking and irrigation water to much of the western Great Plains. The farmers are also concerned that the deep lagoons where hog waste is stored could seep through the dry soil and pollute the aquifer. "We don't see any good coming of this," Travis says. "The hogs are only going to bring trouble." The vast livestock factories are a long way from the here-a-pig, there-a-pig operations of traditional hog farms. The plants turn out pigs as if they were piggy banks from football field--length buildings, where the animals are confined to small pens and fed, medicated and monitored with an exacting precision that fattens them to 265 lbs. in six months. Then it's off to slaughterhouses, where porkers become pork chops, spareribs and bacon. These porkopolises are multiplying like rabbits across the U.S. The newcomers increased their share of the $30 billion U.S. pork industry from 7% to 17% between 1988 and 1994; experts say the factories will live higher on the hog by the end of next year, capturing nearly 30% of the market. Don't expect the factory pigs to be entered in the county fair. "There's a serious question as to whether these facilities can still be called agriculture," argues Nancy Thompson, staff attorney for the Center for Rural Affairs in Walthill, Nebraska, which opposes the megafarms. "They are more like a commercial industry than a farm." The march of commerce is being challenged by environmentalists and advocates of rural values. In North Carolina, where a population of 8.5 million hogs exceeds the state's 7.2 million people, opposition surged last summer after a rain-swollen lagoon spilled 22 million gal. of hog feces and urine over the countryside. At a "Hog Summit" two weeks ago, environmental activists made 12 recommendations to the state, including measures to reduce odors and limit the construction of farms near watersheds. In Kansas, voters in 12 of the 14 counties that have put factory farms on the ballot in recent years have elected to keep them out. In Nebraska, a state ban on corporate farms has sharply slowed their growth. Elsewhere, opponents have used zoning and environmental laws to block plans for new farms. Residents are also seeking to shut plants now in operation. "The smells are horrendous," complains Carla Smalts, an Oklahoma farm wife who has sued to prevent a pig palace from opening near her home. She's also helping to coordinate anti-hog farm movements in five states. In Colorado, where water rights are often a heated issue, Travis, Dobler and an organization called Alliance Conserving Tomorrow used state groundwater laws that restrict new wells to stop Midwest Farms from drilling on the 8,000 acres that it is acquiring for its site. Nationally, the battle may be decided at the dinner table. Health-conscious Americans are eating more of "the other white meat." Thanks in part to marketing campaigns that stress the low fat content of pork, consumption in the U.S. has edged up, from 49 lbs. per capita to 53 lbs. during the past nine years, even as beef consumption has fallen, from 79 lbs. per capita to 68 lbs. (Americans eat poultry, the current king of the table, at the per-capita rate of 73 lbs. a year.) The lofty goal of the National Pork Producers Council is to overtake beef by the year 2000. Growing even faster are U.S. exports of pork, which have quadrupled, to 720 million lbs. a year over the past eight years. There are a few towns--hamlets, if you will--where the factories are being welcomed. Rol Hudler, mayor of Burlington, Colorado (pop. 3,000), smells prosperity in the 200 jobs Midwest Farms has promised to bring to town. "The benefits for us will be mind boggling," Hudler says.

Struggling farmers want help--and some answers BY DANIEL EISENBERG It's an irony that makes Gary Muller's financial troubles that much harder to bear. If the Iowa hog farmer were to hang out at a local supermarket, he might suspect that his business was thriving as never before. After all, there's no lack of customers buying pork chops or roasts for dinner; and in spite of the Asian economic woes that devastated most American farmers in 1998, pork exports keep on growing. But while Americans pay top dollar for their hams or BLTs, Muller and the rest of America's 115,000 hog farmers may as well give their animals away (some are doing that). His 220-lb. pigs, which a little over a year ago fetched 60cents per lb., now command around 15cents per lb. When he's not selling his livestock at a loss, he's trying to rearrange his bank payments and save his century-old family farm from going under. "We're getting killed out here," he says. The pigs, on the other hand, can't be killed fast enough--though 2 million a week are being butchered. And therein lies the problem. Hog farming, until recently the most profitable sector in agriculture, is stuck in the mud. A glut of live pigs on the market, exacerbated by a sudden drop in slaughterhouse capacity, has pushed the price of pigs down to levels not seen since the Depression. "It's a lethal mixture," says Al Tank, CEO of the National Pork Producers Council. Across the South and Midwest, farmers are losing thousands of dollars a day, drifting deeper into debt and near bankruptcy; fully 20% could be belly-up by spring. A government forecast on the hog supply last week promised little relief. "It's the most serious agricultural crisis in this century for an individual commodity," says Gilbert Hollis, a professor at the University of
[CTRL] Corporate Farm Subsidy
http://userpages.itis.com/4lakes/news/bigpigs.htm Title: Corporate Farm Subsidy Corporate Farms causing Problems Thanks in part to government-provided subsidies to overproduce, hog prices are near an all-time low. The federal government's solution? Another subsidy, with factory farms likely to be the principal beneficiaries. Vice President Al Gore recently announced that the USDA would buy $15 million in pork in an effort to bolster prices. And on the Hill, there's even been discussion of exporting the pigs themselves, as breeding stock for Third World nations!This band-aid comes too late to give much solace to the thousands of family farmers that the factory farmers have pushed off the land. The multi-national farms, more interested in short-term profits than long-term sustainability, produce a glut, wipe out the competition, and then reap the benefits of a belated government subsidy to relieve the glut. Rather than addressing the out-of-control environmental and economic problems of industrial agriculture, the Administration offers another trip to the public trough. Send a message to USDA Secretary Dan Glickman: Issue a MORATORIUM on any new hog and chicken factories, start regulating the ones we've got, and support family farms rather than factory farms.

Read Details The U.S. Department Of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are seeking public comment on their recently released draft Unified National Strategy for Animal Feeding Operations. The two agencies will hold a joint "listening session" on Monday, November 30, at the Sheraton Madison Hotel, 706 John Nolen Drive, Madison, Wisconsin. Registration for anyone wishing to speak begins at 12 noon. The session starts at 12:30 and ends at 4 pm. The session is being held to provide basic information about the draft strategy, to answer specific questions, to give interested individuals a chance to provide feedback, and to help facilitate the submission of written comments about the draft strategy. The goal of the Unified National Strategy is to take actions to minimize threats to water quality and public health caused by animal feeding operations, while ensuring the long-term sustainability of livestock production in the United States. The strategy is part of the Clinton Administration's Clean Water Action Plan. "There are no two issues more critical to Wisconsin than agriculture and water quality," said Pat Leavenworth, State Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Wisconsin. "With this Strategy, we are looking for the best way to protect and improve both.We need and want to hear from all sides of the issue to make this a workable, successful effort.""Rural and urban runoff account for more than half of all water pollution, and runoff from animal feeding operations in particular has been associated with threats to human health and the environment," said David A. Ullrich, Acting EPA Regional Administrator. "The draft strategy proposes steps to protect our rivers and streams from that runoff but we want to hear the views of the affected public before we make a final decision." The session will include an overview of the draft strategy and two and a half hours for comments. A sign language interpreter will be available. Copies of the draft strategy can be obtained from the Internet at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov or http://www.epa.gov/owm/afostrat.htm Official written comments will not be accepted at the listening session, but addressed envelopes will be provided for mailing comments.

http://trufax.org/research/f11.html Title: Diet and Human Degeneration: The Deliberate Use of Refined Sugar to Assist Degenerative Disease The Deliberate Use of Refined Sugar to Assist Degenerative Disease Copyright 1996 Leading Edge Research Return to Diet and Degeneration Main Menu Vietnam: A Case on Point for Undermining of a Population You can immediately see the effect that consumption of refined sugar has on a population, and since these effects are known, the distribution of refined sugar to a population constitutes a criminal act. In Vietnam the U.S. Government instituted a very successful program of selling the Vietnamese processed polished rice (which you can see at the supermarket) as a replacement for their whole grain rice which contains the B vitamin (thiamine) complex. Immediately the general health of the Vietnamese began to suffer, especially when they were exposed to American processed foods and soft beverages. The combination of white rice and white sugar was a lethal combination for the Vietnamese. U.S. medical officials in Vietnam in 1971 pretended to be stumped, and decided to announce that a mysterious disease was being coming rampant and a vaccine had to be found. Warnings were broadcast over radio and television and millions of leaflets were dropped. The Vietnamese government was then stuck with the bill for blood plasma and IV fluids which the U.S.Government airlifted in to "solve the problem". I remember it because I was there when this was going on. Refined Sugar, Diabetes and Hypoglycemia Dietary causes are not the only cause of a malfunction of body insulin production, but dietary relationships are what we will focus on here. Government Ignores Symptoms of Sugar Consumption From World War I to the Vietnam era, physical examinations of draftees points to a steady increase of diabetes among teenagers and the population in general. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, as well as a major contributor to disability and death from disease of the kidney and the heart. The current estimate of those with diabetes in the United States is more than twenty million people. The number of people suffering from pre-diabetic symptoms, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose, very often the precursor of full diabetes) is estimated to be over 100 million people the number is going up each day because of the criminal practices of the American food industry and the spineless government beseiged with payoffs and constant lobbying for increased profits. US Dept of Health and Human Welfare Ignores Neurological Symptomology According to a September 1973 letter from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (an organization that exists, like others, to ensure the exact opposite), unpublished data shows that out of 134,000 people interviewed in 1973, 66,000 (49.2%) reported the symptoms of hyperglycemia (sweating, shakiness, trembling, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, headache, weakness, and occasionally seizures and coma). According to the Journal of the American Medican Association in 1973, "the majority of people with these symptoms do not have hypoglycemia". The fact they they do not state what they have is significant, yet they cannot claim to know unless they really know what is happening and they are not telling anyone. Since the HEW study remains unpublished the AMA can claim not to know about it, and say that the claims of widespread hypoglycemia in the United States are "not supported by medical evidence", since the HEW study reported statistical epidemiological evidence. The patients reported the evidence, not the doctors. Therefore, it is not "medical" evidence. Diabetes and Sugar: Denmark as a Case in Point Hippocrates never described a case of diabetes. The only country where actual statistics relating to diabetes and the consumption of sugar is Denmark. In 1880, the average Danish citizen consumed over 29 pounds of refined sugar annually. At that time, the recorded death rate from diabetes was 1.8 per 100,000. In 1911, consumption more than doubled to 82 pounds per person, and the death rate from diabetes rose to 8 per 100,000. In 1934, sugar consumption rose to 113 pounds per person and the death rate from diabetes rose to 18.9 per 100,000. Before World War II, Denmark has a higher conscumption of sugar than any other European country. It is interesting that one out of five people in Demark also have cancer. In Sweden, annual consumption per person of refined sugar rose from 12 pounds in 1880 to over 120 pounds per person in 1929. One out of six people in Sweden has cancer. The conclusion is inescapable: as refined sugar consumption increases, the incidence of fatal disease increases to match it. Insulin Market as a Financial Windfall The discovery of synthetically produced insulin meant that the pharmaceutical industry had another financial windfall, and the surge in refined sugar production in the United States in the 1920's ensured that the profit would
Re: [CTRL] Arksanas State Senators Indicted
-Caveat Lector- Check out a Utah case involving some homeschoolers that did not want to put one of their children on Ritalin. Was used as a springboard to take children away from their parents and put them in the school district. These parents - one had developed physical problems that made work hard to find and the mother was keeping things on a shoe sting so that she could still home school. This case went after welfare recipients that wanted to educate their children. Peter Breggin (he has a web site, that did not mention this case) was one of the witnesses against Ritalin. Either he is not as much as a expert as he claims or there was something else. Could be the forces that be were just to strong. Anyway the children were taken away, foster homes, one or two sexually abused in the homes, I believe one of them has already committed suicide. If someone follows on this will you please send me the update. At one time there was a web page supporting this family.

Another friend of Bill's, no doubt. Arkansas State Senator Indicted By DAVID A. LIEB .c The Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The man considered the most powerful member of the Arkansas Senate was indicted Tuesday on charges that he netted $1.3 million through fraudulent contracts and kickbacks. The federal racketeering indictment named state Sen. Nick Wilson and nine other people on charges of mail fraud, obstruction of justice and money laundering. U.S. Attorney Paula Casey said the scheme involved the ``corruption of the Arkansas General Assembly with Wilson as the leader and primary decision-maker and planner.'' The indictment alleges that Wilson benefited from a $3 million grant program he helped set up in 1997. The grants pay for legal work performed on behalf of children caught in the middle of custody cases and for attempts to enforce payment of child support money. Prosecutors alleged that Wilson submitted bills under that program for work he never performed, and directed attorneys to pay him kickbacks for work they performed. The program was halted soon after it began, when news reports raised questions about its propriety. Bill Walmsley, an attorney for Wilson, said he expected the senator to plead innocent. ``Any time that you have a citizen Legislature such as Arkansas has, where those legislators basically make their living with work outside of their legislative duties, there always are fine lines,'' Walmsley said. Wilson, a Democrat, is considered one of the state Senate's most powerful members because of his 28 years in office and his skills as a power broker. Also indicted were state Sen. Michael R. Bearden and former senators Steve Bell and Michael Todd. Todd and Bell worked on the grant program legislation with Wilson. Others named in the indictment were lawyers Murrey L. Grider -- Wilson's former law partner -- and his son M. Joseph Grider. Two others named, Tommy Venters and Burton Elliott, are former directors of the state Education Department. Attorneys for the others did not return calls seeking comment. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] Fwd: Landmark Legal Calls for Clinton's Disbarment
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover.shtml Tuesday April 27, 1:09 AM Landmark Legal Calls for Clinton's Disbarment In September, Landmark Legal Foundation's Mark Levin urged Paula Jones Judge Susan Webber Wright to hold Bill Clinton in contempt for lying to her court. Seven months later, she did just that. If Wright's decision can be read as a bow to Landmark's earlier advice, then the White House better get ready to duck again. Because now Landmark is calling for Clinton to be disbarred in no uncertain terms: "The president has demonstrated himself to be an unethical lawyer and a menace and disgrace to the profession," Levin told the conservative weekly Human Events. He'd also like to see a home-state probe into alleged White House obstruction of the Jones case by the Arkansas Supreme Court's Committee on Professional Conduct, complete with the actual living, breathing witnesses we didn't see in the Senate impeachment trial. "The next step," says Levin, "must be a full investigation by the committee into Mr. Clinton's conduct, including holding hearings and taking testimony from Clinton, Lewinsky and perhaps others involved in defrauding the court and [Paula] Jones." Of course, even if the state Supreme Court was to take Levin's challenge, the odds are long that it would see things his way. First, the Clintons are still a powerful influence in Arkansas legal circles. And then there's this: "Arkansas judges, remember, are required to swear a loyalty oath to the Democratic Party." (The Wall Street Journal -- Dec. 15, 1993) That observation might not bode well for future justice in Arkansas, but it sure goes a long way toward explaining what's happened in the past. Sunday April 25, 10:59 PM New Charges Spur March for Clinton's Resignation With President Clinton's Senate trial acquittal two months ago, some expected that those still offended by White House criminality would take their cue from Senate Republicans and just go away quietly. But then, they didn't count on Internet journalist and political activist Andrew Amirault. Amirault has organized March on Washington '99. On May 1, he and other like-minded citizens will gather on the White House Ellipse to issue a renewed call for Clinton's resignation. But haven't we been there, done that? Not exactly, says Amirault, who points to a whole host of serious allegations that have emerged in the weeks since Clinton's acquittal. "I believe Juanita Broaddrick. I believe our president is a rapist," says Amirault, referring to Broaddrick's charge that 21 years ago this past Sunday, then-Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton raped her. Though the Arkansas woman told her story to NBC during the height of Clinton's trial, the network kept the lid on till the coast was clear. And then there's the Chinese, who seem to have purchased extraordinary amounts of secret U.S. nuclear technology for modest donations to Clinton's presidential campaigns. Each post-impeachment week brings news of yet another espionage incident at our most sensitive research facilities. And now Kosovo, complete with an apparent stealth plan to insert American ground troops into the Balkans without congressional approval. Amirault says Clinton's Kosovo crisis is nothing but a calculated diversion from the China spy scandal, even at the risk of provoking World War III. March organizers have recruited an impressive speaker list for the May 1 event, including U.S. Rep. and impeachment trial manager Bob Barr, "Year of the Rat" author William Triplett, "Clinton Chronicles" producer Pat Matrisciana and others.

To base a relationship on sex, to base life on sex, removes the innocense of life. Look around you, would life keep going if animals and plants were to consider homosexualism a viable alternative? I like to eat and how long would we have animals and plants if this were true? Sex may be a drive, has been termed Sex Drive but it is not the vehicle for understanding since it is only ONE of the basic drives. So what is the vehicle for understanding life? Education is what is needed to understand life. Education is something that has to happen from the moment that you are born if you are to continue living. So it seems that it does not matter if a male gets paid or if he pays. (Gigalo or "husband") If he is not involved in the education of the children, at least to the extent of continuing his own education - read a book that you have assigned to the kids too, and expect a book report once a month. If he is not to be a role model for education, consistancy, and commentment what is he. If I had a husband that believed it was ok to just spread it around than -- he would not be my husband for long. What commentment does that show? Since the people that worship to Baal do not see anything as Politically Incorrect to deleate knowledge from our database is to leave the door open to Human Sacrifice. If the base line is education. Does just studing history / religion one day a week for social purposes show a respect for education? So the question behind door number one is... What is the difference between a male that is hetrosexual and a male that is homosexual? the ability to have children, without cloning, within a viable relationship that shows respect for the way that (higher) plants and animals replicate. I guess so companies could be setting up clonning as a viable alternative. Would clonning allow us to understand history and the way that the world normally works? What is involved in having children? What makes us different from a lion or a eagle? The length of our education, and how long it is till we are sexually viable -- unless
[CTRL] Self-Determining Haiti, I. The American Occupation
-Caveat Lector- http://www.boondocksnet.com/ailtexts/johnson200828.html Edited by Jim Zwick Copyright © 1995-1999 Jim Zwick Self-Determining Haiti I. The American Occupation By James Weldon Johnson The Nation 111 (Aug. 28, 1920). To know the reasons for the present political situation in Haiti, to understand why the United States landed and has for five years maintained military forces in that country, why some three thousand Haitian men, women, and children have been shot down by American rifles and machine guns, it is necessary, among other things, to know that the National City Bank of New York is very much interested in Haiti. It is necessary to know that the National City Bank controls the National Bank of Haiti and is the depository for all of the Haitian national funds that are being collected by American officials, and that Mr. R. L. Farnham, vice-president of the National City Bank, is virtually the representative of the State Department in matters relating to the island republic. Most Americans have the opinion -- if they have any opinion at all on the subject -- that the United States was forced, on purely humane grounds, to intervene in the black republic because of the tragic coup d'etat which resulted in the overthrow and death of President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam and the execution of the political prisoners confined at Port-au-Prince, July 27-28, 1915; and that this government has been compelled to keep a military force in Haiti since that time to pacify the country and maintain order. The fact is that for nearly a year before forcible intervention on the part of the United States this government was seeking to compel Haiti to submit to "peaceable" intervention. Toward the close of 1914 the United States notified the government of Haiti that it was disposed to recognize the newly-elected president, Theodore Davilmar, as soon as a Haitian commission would sign at Washington "satisfactory protocols" relative to a convention with the United States on the model of the Dominican-American Convention. On December 15, 1914, the Haitian government, through its Secretary of Foreign Affairs, replied: "The Government of the Republic of Haiti would consider itself lax in its duty to the United States and to itself if it allowed the least doubt to exist of its irrevocable intention not to accept any control of the administration of Haitian affairs by a foreign Power." On December 19, the United States, through its legation at Port-au-Prince, replied, that in expressing its willingness to do in Haiti what had been done in Santo Domingo it "was actuated entirely by a disinterested desire to give assistance." Two months later, the Theodore government was overthrown by a revolution and Vilbrun Guillaume was elected president. Immediately afterwards there arrived at Port-au-Prince an American commission from Washington -- the Ford mission. The commissioners were received at the National Palace and attempted to take up the discussion of the convention that had been broken off in December, 1914. However, they lacked full powers and no negotiations were entered into. After several days, the Ford mission sailed for the United States. But soon after, in May, the United States sent to Haiti Mr. Paul Fuller, Jr., with the title Envoy Extraordinary, on a special mission to apprise the Haitian government that the Guillaume administration would not be recognized by the American government unless Haiti accepted and signed the project of a convention which he was authorized to present. After examining the project the Haitian government submitted to the American commission a counter-project, formulating the conditions under which it would be possible to accept the assistance of the United States. To this counter-project Mr. Fuller proposed certain modifications, some of which were accepted by the Haitian government. On June 5, 1915, Mr. Fuller acknowledged the receipt of the Haitian communication regarding these modifications, and sailed from Port-au-Prince. Before any further discussion of the Fuller project between the two governments, political incidents in Haiti led rapidly to the events of July 27 and 28. On July 27 President Guillaume fled to the French Legation, and on the same day took place a massacre of the political prisoners in the prison at Port-au-Prince. On the morning of July 28 President Guillaume was forcibly taken from French Legation and killed. On the afternoon of July 28 an American man-of-war dropped anchor in the

[CTRL] Self-Determining Haiti, II. What the United States Has Accomplished
-Caveat Lector- Edited by Jim Zwick Copyright © 1995-1999 Jim Zwick Self-Determining Haiti II. What the United States Has Accomplished By James Weldon Johnson The Nation 111 (Sept. 4, 1920). When the truth about the conquest of Haiti -- slaughter of three thousand and practically unarmed Haitians, with the incidentally needless death of a score of American boys -- begins to filter through the rigid Administration censorship to the American people, the apologists will become active. Their justification of what has been done will be grouped under two heads: one, the necessity, and two, the results. Under the first, much stress will be laid upon the "anarchy" which existed in Haiti, upon the backwardness of the Haitians and their absolute unfitness to govern themselves. The pretext which caused the intervention was taken up in the first article of this series. The characteristics, alleged and real, of the Haitian people will be taken up in a subsequent article. Now as to results: The apologists will attempt to show that material improvements in Haiti justify American intervention. Let us see what they are. Diligent inquiry reveals just three: The building of the road from Port-au-Prince to Cape Haitien; the enforcement of certain sanitary regulations in the larger cities; and the improvement of the public hospital at Port-au-Prince. The enforcement of certain sanitary regulations is not so important as it may sound, for even under exclusive native rule, Haiti has been a remarkably healthy country and had never suffered from such epidemics as used to sweep Cuba and the Panama Canal region. The regulations, moreover, were of a purely minor character -- the sort that might be issued by a board of health in any American city or town -- and were in no wise fundamental, because there was no need. The same applies to the improvement of the hospital, long before the American Occupation, an effectively conducted institution but which, it is only fair to say, benefitted considerably by the regulations and more up-to-date methods of American army surgeons -- the best in the world. Neither of these accomplishments, however, creditable as they are, can well be put forward as a justification for military domination. The building of the great highway from Port-au-Prince to Cape Haitien is a monumental piece of work, but it is doubtful whether the object in building it was to supply the Haitians with a great highway or to construct a military road which would facilitate the transportation of troops and supplies from one end of the island to the other. And this represents the sum total of the constructive accomplishment after five years of American Occupation. Now, the highway, while doubtless the most important achievement of the three, involved the most brutal of all the blunders of the Occupation. The work was in charge of an officer of Marines who stands out even in that organization for his "treat 'em rough" methods. He discovered the obsolete Haitian corvée and decided to enforce it with the most modern Marine efficiency. The corvée, or road law, in Haiti provided that each citizen should work a certain number of days on the public roads to keep them in condition, or pay a certain sum of money. In the days when this law was in force the Haitian government never required the men to work the roads except in their respective communities, and the number of days was usually limited to three a year. But the Occupation seized men wherever it could find them, and no able-bodied Haitian was safe from such raids, which most closely resembled the African slave raids of past centuries. And slavery it was -- though temporary. By day or by night, from the bosom of their families, from their little farms or while trudging peacefully on the country roads, Haitians were seized and forcibly taken to toil for months in far sections of the country. Those who protested or resisted were beaten into submission. At night, after long hours of unremitting labor under armed taskmasters, who swiftly discouraged any slackening of effort with boot or rifle butt, the victims were herded in compounds. Those attempting to escape were shot. Their terror-stricken families meanwhile were often in total ignorance of the fate of their husbands, fathers, brothers. It is chiefly out of these methods that arose the need for "pacification." Many men of the rural districts became panic-stricken and fled to the hills and mountains. Others rebelled and did likewise, preferring death to
[CTRL] Self-Determining Haiti, III. Government Of, By, and For the National City Bank
-Caveat Lector- Edited by Jim Zwick Copyright © 1995-1999 Jim Zwick Self-Determining Haiti III. Government Of, By, and For the National City Bank By James Weldon Johnson The Nation 111 (Sept. 11, 1920). Former articles of this series described the Military Occupation of Haiti and the crowd of civilian place holders as among the forces at work in Haiti to maintain the present status in that country. But more powerful though less obvious, and more sinister, because of its deep and varied radications, is the force exercised by the National City Bank of New York. It seeks more than the mere maintenance of the present status in Haiti; it is constantly working to bring about a condition more suitable and profitable to itself. Behind the Occupation, working conjointly with the Department of State, stands this great banking institution of New York and elsewhere. The financial potentates allied with it are the ones who will profit by the control of Haiti. The United States Marine Corps and the various office-holding "deserving Democrats," who help maintain the status quo there, are in reality working for great financial interests in this country, although Uncle Sam and Haiti pay their salaries. Mr. Roger L. Farnham, vice-president of the National City Bank, was effectively instrumental in bringing about American intervention in Haiti. With the administration at Washington, the word of Mr. Farnham supersedes that of anybody else on the island. While Mr. Bailly-Blanchard, with the title of minister, is its representative in name, Mr. Farnham is its representative in fact. His goings and comings are aboard vessels of the United States Navy. His bank, the National City, has been in charge of the Banque Nationale d'Haiti throughout the Occupation.(1) Only a few weeks ago he was appointed receiver of the National Railroad of Haiti, controlling practically the entire railway system in the island with valuable territorial concessions in all parts.(2) The $5,000,000 sugar plant at Port-au-Prince, it is commonly reported, is about to fall into his hands. Now, of all the various responsibilities, expressed, implied, or assumed by the United States in Haiti, it would naturally be supposed that the financial obligation would be foremost. Indeed, the sister republic of Santo Domingo was taken over by the United States Navy for no other reason than failure to pay its internal debt. But Haiti for over one hundred years scrupulously paid its external and internal debt -- a fact worth remembering when one hears of "anarchy and disorder" in that land -- until five years ago when under the financial guardianship of the United States interest on both the internal and, with one exception, external debt was defaulted; and this in spite of the fact that specified revenues were pledged for the payment of this interest. Apart from the distinct injury to the honor and reputation of the country, the hardship on individuals has been great. For while the foreign debt is held particularly in France which, being under great financial obligations to the United States since the beginning of the war, has not been able to protest effectively, the interior debt is held almost entirely by Haitian citizens. Haitian Government bonds have long been the recognized substantial investment for the well-to-do and middle class people, considered as are in this country, United States, state, and municipal bonds. Non-payment on these securities has placed many families in absolute want. What has happened to these bonds? They are being sold for a song, for the little cash they will bring. Individuals closely connected with the National Bank of Haiti are ready purchasers. When the new Haitian loan is floated it will, of course, contain ample provisions for redeeming these old bonds at par. The profits will be more than handsome. Not that the National Bank has not already made hay in the sunshine of American Occupation. From the beginning it has been sole depositary of all revenues collected in the name of the Haitian Government by the American Occupation, receiving in addition to the interest rate a commission on all funds deposited. The bank is the sole agent in the transmission of these funds. It has also the exclusive note-issuing privilege in the republic. At the same time complaint is widespread among the Haitian business men that the Bank no longer as of old accommodates them with credit and that its interests are now entirely in developments of its own.
[CTRL] Self-Determining Haiti, IV. The Haitian People
-Caveat Lector- Edited by Jim Zwick Copyright © 1995-1999 Jim Zwick Self-Determining Haiti IV. The Haitian People By James Weldon Johnson The Nation 111 (Sept. 25, 1920). The first sight of Port-au-Prince is perhaps most startling to the experienced Latin-American traveler. Caribbean cities are of the Spanish-American type -- buildings square and squat, built generally around a court, with residences and business houses scarcely interdistinguishable. Port-au-Prince is rather a city of the French or Italian Riviera. Across the bay of deepest blue the purple mountains of Gonave loom against the Western sky, rivaling the bay's azure depths. Back of the business section, spreading around the bay's great sweep and well into the plain beyond, rise the green hills with their white residences. The residential section spreads over the slopes and into the mountain tiers. High up are the homes of the well-to-do, beautiful villas set in green gardens relieved by the flaming crimson of the poinsettia. Despite the imposing mountains a man-made edifice dominates the scene. From the center of the city the great Gothic cathedral lifts its spires above the tranquil city. Well paved and clean, the city prolongs the thrill of its first unfolding. Cosmopolitan yet quaint, with an old-world atmosphere yet a charm of its own, one gets throughout the feeling of continental European life. In the hotels and cafes the affairs of the world are heard discussed in several languages. The cuisine and service are not only excellent but inexpensive. At the Café Dereix, cool and scrupulously clean, dinner from hors doeuvres to glaces, with wine, of course, recalling the famous antebellum hostelries of New York and Paris, may be had for six gourdes [$1.25]. A drive of two hours around Port-au-Prince, through the newer section of brick and concrete buildings, past the cathedral erected from 1903 to 1912, along the Champ de Mars where the new presidential palace stands, up into the Peu de Choses section where the hundreds of beautiful villas and grounds of the well-to-do are situated, permanently dispels any lingering question that the Haitians have been retrograding during the 116 years of their independence. In the lower city, along the water's edge, around the market and in the Rue Républicaine, is the "local color." The long rows of wooden shanties, the curious little booths around the market, filled with jabbering venders and with scantily clad children, magnificent in body, running in and out, are no less picturesque and no more primitive, no humbler, yet cleaner, than similar quarters in Naples, in Lisbon, in Marseilles, and more justifiable than the great slums of civilizations centers -- London and New York, which are totally without aesthetic redemption. But it is only the modernists in history who are willing to look at the masses as factors in the life and development of the country, and in its history. For Haitian history, like history the world over, has for the last century been that of cultured and educated groups. To know Haitian life one must have the privilege of being received as a guest in the houses of these latter, and they live in beautiful houses. The majority have been educated in France; they are cultured, brilliant conversationally, and thoroughly enjoy their social life. The women dress well. Many are beautiful and all vivacious and chic. Cultivated people from any part of the world would feel at home in the best Haitian society. If our guest were to enter to the Cercle Bellevue, the leading club of Port-au-Prince, he would find the courteous, friendly atmosphere of a men's club; he would hear varying shades of opinion on public questions, and could scarcely fail to be impressed by the thorough knowledge of world affairs possessed by the intelligent Haitian. Nor would his encounters be only with people who have culture and savoir vivre; he would meet the Haitian intellectuals -- poets, essayists, novelists, historians, critics. Take for example such a writer as Fernand Hibbert. An English authority says of him, "His essays are worthy of the pen of Anatole France or Pierre Loti." And there is Georges Sylvaine, poet and essayist, conférencier at the Sorbonne, where his address was received with acclaim, author of books crowned by the French Academy, and an Officer of the Légion d'Honneur. Hibbert and Sylvaine are only two among a dozen or more contemporary Haitian men of letters whose work may be measured by world standards. Two names

Sroufe wrote: -Caveat Lector- Paula Jones feared for her life while pressing her lawsuit against President Clinton and thinks he may have played a role in a number of mysterious deaths of potential witnesses against him. With NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Sunday April 18, 4:10 PM "Waco" Explodes on HBO Saturday April 17, 8:57 AM Jones Suspected Clinton Role in Mysterious Deaths Paula Jones feared for her life while pressing her lawsuit against President Clinton and thinks he may have played a role in a number of mysterious deaths of potential witnesses against him. Jones, appearing Friday night on Fox News Channel's "Hannity Colmes," was asked whether she suspected that Clinton was responsible for the deaths -- a list numbering, according to some, more than 50 people who were associated with one Clinton controversy or another. Some of the more prominent Clinton friends to die in the midst of scandal were Vince Foster, Ron Brown and James McDougal. Jones responded, "He may not be hands-on in doing it, but I think maybe he has some part in some of this stuff. Because there's just too many of them that have come up dead or missing that have had some kind of bond or have been in business or some kind of dealings with Clinton." Prior to the stunning comment, Sean Hannity questioned Jones about concerns for her own safety: HANNITY: Paula, you have stated in the past that you, and Linda Tripp has stated as well, have even feared for your life. You even went on to say that you want the whole world to know that you don't drive crazy, that you wouldn't run off the road, that you're not suicidal, that you love life, you love your children, and you'd never kill yourself. And you wanted to say that to a national audience. Why? What do you fear? JONES: Well, there's been a lot of people that have come up dead in Arkansas. And I've had a lot of people ask me, 'Aren't you scared for your life?' And actually, I have been. Even [Clinton attorney] Bob Bennett said a quote one time on CNN that his mother always used to tell him that you better be careful for what you ask for because you just might get it. And then he went on to talk about how his dog used to chase cars. And then his dog was dead and he has a new dog now. And I took that even as a threat. There were just so many things and I wanted people to know that I'm not like that and that if I come up strangely dead that I didn't kill myself. One of the "many things" Jones may have had in mind was the fate of Kathy Ferguson, the ex-wife of the co-defendant named in her lawsuit, Arkansas state Trooper Danny Ferguson. Kathy's friends have told reporters that she, too, claimed that Clinton had sexually harassed her and that she knew "Paula was telling the truth." On May 13, 1994, just five days after Jones filed suit, Ferguson was found shot to death in her Sherwood, Ark., apartment. Police ruled it a suicide. A month later, her police officer boyfriend, Bill Shelton, was also found dead, his body sprawled across Kathy's grave. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that Shelton died from a single gunshot wound behind the ear.

[CTRL] Homosexuals, DNA Source Code, Bush, CIA and more
-Caveat Lector- Rough Outline 1 a) Year(s) Bush caught as a pedophile b) year Marc Dutreoux the pedophile and serial killer was in action (ref. 10 and 11) c) Coors connections with Regan, Bush, Gore, Dole or their families. (ref 8) d) year(s) Clinton was governor of Arkansas When the plasma was sold, that had STDs in it. e) the fact that AIDS has not been proved to be cause by a virus. Canada and other countries low on plasma because of AIDS. Africa losing one of its ways of making money (it can not sell plasma because of AIDS). More turning to pedophilia in the belief that children do not have AIDS, yet. France not planting as many flowers for perfumes and fragrances (losing land) these are being based on petro chemicals or just chemicals instead. Rising rate of allergies. CIA (Bush) connected to getting many welfare recipients hooked on drugs. Convicted Felons in prisons in the news over their receiving food stamps. Students with rich parents receiving food stamps when they do not need them. In cutting these people out they cut out many legitimate families that need food stamps. Willie Nelson in trouble with the IRS but could it have been because of Farm Aid and the fact that he helped the farmers instead of just because of back taxes. Belgium having problems, some countries see pedophilia as normal. Some places in the Soviet Union allow sex as low as 14, too. A Ruler (King or Queen) could not control all the subjects personally, previously. But with Data Bases what government needs that autonomity of the states, or even to have banks or any kind of professional or education. Americas Rulers are promising the world because they do not see that they will have to deliver. With cloning and the potential that they might be around hundreds of years, they want complete control. W.W.II was a dry run on how to do it to the USA. Why has it been slow? They want to undermine the constitutional ideas completely world wide. To have complete control of the world. Many see it as Something that 1984 by George Orwell or Brave New World Aldous Huxley, it will be more like Germany written by Adolph Hitler and Comp. These people are just putting out propaganda leading you to these ideas. AARP one of the largest special interest groups, think what would happen it these people were around hundreds of years because of cloning. We are polluting their world. Why do they need so many people, they would think of us as a surplus. Take America off the gold standard, inflate the prices so that the land has little value to agriculture, put individual farmers out of business by creating catastrophes, all land being paid for with loans from banks, declare a emergency take over banks, government owns all land. Take us off animal products because animal breeders would see the effects of what they are putting out as food faster more generations of animals. Fur breeders would see it the fastest. They have attempted to put together a psychological climate that justifies what they are doing. Now I say that they are insane! Why? If we replicate, where will we get the source code? Take a look at the wilderness it is a DNA source code. Where are they documenting it? They are destroying our value. If there were an intergalactic stock market, what would they trade in? Gold and Diamonds seem to be in many meteorites, probably common in space. How about in DNA source codes? If you think about the diversity of color and body styles in Africa you can understand why the Dye companies that became Pharmicudical companies would want to control that knowledge and have it where many of us do not think of Africa on those terms. The different hormones, steroids, minerals, vitamins ECT that have contributed to Africas diversity. Think of Deer or any other grazing animal, they will overgraze their territory without predators. They are not self sustainable, they go to the limit of the advisable food supply, and the ones that lead them do so mainly on the basis of brute strength. When you take out the natural predators you better have hunters. They are putting us on the basis of food animals and ruling by the basis of brute strength, by not giving us all the knowledge we need to make informed decisions. Getting back to that potential intergalactic stock market, when the Earth can not be traded as a source of DNA source codes I guess it will be traded as a source of food animals. Consider they have shown that Humans are non sustainable, have been shown to be relatively brainless but we could take care of ourselves until harvested. With the amount of chemicals doing us in, it seems as if we are suppose to bury ourselves. If that happens and they do decrease the world like that, and we do go on the basis of food animals take heart in the knowledge that they will be the first ones culled out! Why? Because they would get rid of the very breeders that

[CTRL] George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, Chapter -XXI- Omaha
-Caveat Lector- http://www.radix.net/~tarpley/bush21.htm George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography --- by Webster G. Tarpley Anton Chaitkin Chapter -XXI- Omaha On the morning of June 29, 1989, pandemonium erupted in the corridors of power in the nation's capital. ``Homosexual Prostitution Probe Ensnares Official of Bush, Reagan,'' screamed the front-page headline of the Washington Times with the kicker ``Call Boys Took Midnight Tour of White House.'' The Times reported, ``A homosexual prostitution ring is under investigation by federal and District authorities and includes among its clients key officials of the Reagan and Bush administrations, military officers, congressional aides and U.S. and foreign businessmen with close ties to Washington's political elite.'' The exposeé centered on the role of one Craig Spence, a Republican powerbroker known for his lavish ``power cocktail'' parties. Spence was well connected. He celebrated Independence Day 1988 by conducting a midnight tour of the White House in the company of two teenage male prostitutes among others in his party. Rumors circulated that a list existed of some 200 Washington prominents who had used the call boy service. The Number Two in charge of personnel affairs at the White House, who was responsible for filling all the top civil service posts in the federal bureaucracy, and Secretary of Labor Elizabeth Dole's chief of staff, were two individuals publicly identified as patrons of the call boy ring. Two of the ring's call boys were allegedly KGB operatives, according to a retired general from the Defense Intelligence Agency interviewed by the press. But the evidence seemed to point to a CIA sexual blackmail operation, instead. Spence's entire mansion was covered with hidden microphones, two-way mirrors and video cameras, ever ready to capture the indiscretions of Washington's high, mighty and perverse. The political criteria for proper sexual comportment had long been established in Washington: Any kinkiness goes, so long as you don't get caught. The popular proverb was that the only way a politician could hurt his career was if he were ``caught with a dead woman or a live boy'' in his bed. Months after the scandal had died down, and a few weeks before he allegedly committed suicide, Spence was asked who had given him the ``key'' to the White House. The Washington Times reported that ``Mr. Spence hinted the tours were arranged by `top level' persons, including Donald Gregg, national security advisor to Vice President Bush''@s1 and later U.S. ambassador to South Korea. We have already had occasion to examine Don Gregg's role in Iran-Contra, and have observed his curious performance when testifying under oath before congressional committees. Gregg indignantly denied any connection to Spence, yet it is public record that Spence had sponsored a dinner in Gregg's honor in the spring of 1989 at Washington's posh Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown. George Bush was less than pleased with the media coverage of the prostitution charges and kept abreast of the scandal as it mushroomed. The Washington Times reported in an article titled ``White House Mute on Call Boy Scandal,'' that ``White House sources confirmed that President Bush has followed the story of the late night visit and Mr. Spence's links to a homosexual prostitution ring under investigation by federal authorities since they were disclosed June 29 in the Washington Times. But top officials will not discuss the story's substance, reportedly even among themselves. ``Press officers have rebuffed repeated requests to obtain Mr. Bush's reaction and decline to discuss investigations or fall out from the disclosures.''@s2 By midsummer, the scandal had been buried. The President had managed to avoid giving a single press conference where he would surely have been asked to comment. As the call boy ring affair dominated the cocktail gossip circuit in Washington, another scandal, halfway across the country in the state of Nebraska, peaked. Again this scandal knocked on the President's door. A black Republican who had been a leader in organizing minority support for the President's 1988 campaign and who proudly displayed a photo of himself and the President, arm in arm, in his Omaha home, was at the center of a sex and money scandal that continues to rock the Cornhusker state. The scandal originated with the collapse of the minority-oriented Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha, directed by Lawrence E. King, Jr., a nationally influential black Republican who sang the national anthem at both the 1984 and 1988 Republican conventions. King became the subject of the Nebraska Senate's investigation conducted by the specially created ``Franklin Committee'' to probe charges of embezzlement. In November 1988, King's offices were raided by the FBI and $40 million was discovered missing. Within weeks, the Nebraska Senate, which initially opened the inquiry to find out where the money had gone,

-Caveat Lector- This is from back in 1996 to 1998 but the issues are still being debated. This is towards the end of the page. http://www.leeds.ac.uk/law/pgs/yaman/child.htm Child Pornography Investigation in Holland, July 1998 According to Reuters, the Dutch police were investigating allegations that an international child pornography ring exploited toddlers as young as two and distributed their images worldwide via the Internet. "The investigation focuses on child pornography in all its facets--the production and distribution of the material," a local police spokesman told Reuters, adding that the police were not yet in possession of the alleged pornographic material. The Dutch inquiry follows a report by an anti pornography group that it found thousands of computer disks in a flat in the Dutch seaside town of Zandvoort. The disks were loaded with pornographic pictures of children, according to the Dutch current affairs television program NOVA reported. The police spokesman would give no further details of the case pending the outcome of the investigation. He also declined to comment on reports that Dutch police were working with Belgian and German authorities. "We are waiting for the [pornographic material] to be handed over, then it will be used in our investigation," the police spokesman said. "All the material...is either in the hands of the television [program] or the [Belgian group Morkhoven]." According to the German newspaper Berliner Morgenpost, Morkhoven stumbled across the disks during a search for a Berlin boy who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in 1993 when he was 12. The trail led Morkhoven to the Netherlands and finally to the Zandvoort flat, the newspaper said. The child pornography network, which Berliner Morgenpost said stretches around the globe, has its center in Berlin. It was not clear how Morkhoven gained access to the address. The propertys owner, allegedly a member of the ring, was reportedly murdered by another gang member early this year in Italy. According to NOVA, the pornographic pictures uncovered in the flat were stored on thousands of high-density disks. Morkhoven suspects the images were passed via the Internet to a regular group of customers. It claims the Zandvoort operation was part of an international network of child pornography producers and consumers, extending to the United States, Russia, and Israel. Dutch anti pornography campaigners have long complained there is insufficient regulation of the Internet and the material it carries. One local group, Meldpunt Kinderporno, wrote to the Dutch government recently urging the introduction of measures to combat child pornography on the Web. Finland Police seized child pornography at the Helsinki home of a 19 year-old student On August 28, 1996 in helsinki - Finland the police seized two computers and nearly 350 floppy disks at the house of a 19 year-old student. The material showed sadistic acts involving Caucasian and Asian children, including torture, mutilation, and cannibalism. Police specialist Kaj Malmberg stated that: "These pictures of adults having sex with children are really hard pornography. This is exceptioannly severe hard pornography involving very severe abuse of children" The unnamed student was not arrested because of the liberal Finnish law. Possession and distribution of hard pornography is a minor offence with a maximum penalty of six months in jail. Malmberg stated that: "It's like speeding or something." According to the Reuters report the Finnish police must wait until the student returns from the university outside Helsinki to even interrogate him. According to the police the student's computer system can be connected to the Internet and a distribution link has been found with Sweeden. Malmberg said he suspects people in several other European countries had used the system. Merja-Maarja Turunen with the National Research and Development Centre for Welfare and Health stated that Finland must crack down against such offenders. "It is important. It's not a minor offence. It's obvious that somewhere along the line a child is being molested." The arrest of Marc Dutroux in Belgium See the TIME article by clicking on the image. THE Belgian government appealed for international co-operation to crush paedophile rings as it sought to defuse the nation's fury over the child sex gang responsible for the death of two small girls. The appeal from Stefaan De Clerck, the Justice Minister, came as detectives in Neufchateau, continued questioning Marc Dutroux in whose garden the bodies of Julie Lejeune and Melissa Russo were found along with that of Bernard Weinstein, another gang member. Despite intensive interrogation of Marc Dutroux, there was little sign of a breakthrough in the hunt for about a dozen missing Belgian children. They include Ann Marchal, 19, and Eefje Lambrecks, 17, whom Dutroux allegedly admitted kidnapping last

-Caveat Lector- So. Oh Well, I guess everyone does it? If that is what you are believe, you need to study history a bit more. Or: There are hypycrates, and then there are Hypocrates. From http://freeweb.digiweb.com/science_fiction/ThePiedPiper/future.htm Subject: I Agree... This letter was written by Eric Jowers, a retired Army Officer, who served as public affairs officer at Fort Rucker from 1989 to 1991. He now lives in Ozark, Alabama. - Dear Mr. President: It's not about sex. If it were about sex, you would be long gone. Just like a doctor, attorney or teacher who had sex with a patient, client or student half his age, you would have violated the ethics of your office and would be long gone. Just like a Sergeant Major of the Army, Gene McKinney, who though found not guilty, was forced to resign amid accusations of sexual abuse. Remember the Air Force General you wouldn't nominate to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he freely admitted to an affair almost 15 years before, while he and his wife were separated? Unlike you, he was never accused of having a starry-eyed office assistant my daughter's age perform oral sex on him while he was on the phone and his wife and daughter were upstairs. If it were about sex, you should be subjected to the same horrible hearings that Clarence Thomas was subjected to because of the accusations of Anita Hill. The only accusation then was that he talked dirty to her; he didn't even leave semen stains on her dress. No, it's not about sex. It's about character. It's about lying. It's about arrogance. It's about abuse of power. It's about dodging the draft and lying about it. When caught in a lie by letters you wrote, you concocted a story that nobody believed. But we excused it and looked away. It's about smoking dope, and lying about it. "I didn't inhale," you said. Sure, and when I was 15 and my buddies and I swiped a beer from an unwatched refrigerator, we drank from it, but we didn't swallow. "I broke no laws of the United States," you said. That's right, you smoked dope in England or Norway or Moscow; where you were demonstrating against the U.S.A. You lied, but we excused it and looked away. It's about you selling overnight stays in the White House to any foreigner or other contributor with untraceable cash. It's about Whitewater and Jim and Susan McDougal and Arkansas, Gov. Jim Guy Tucker and Vincent Foster and Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones and Karen Willey and nearly countless others. It's about stealing the records from Foster's office while his body was still warm and putting them in your bedroom and "not noticing them" for two years. It's about illegal political contributions. It's about you and Al Gore soliciting contributions and selling influence at Buddhist temples and in the same Oval Office where Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt led their countries through the dark days of wars that threatened the very existence of our nation. But we excused you and looked away. It's about hiding evidence from Ken Starr, refusing to testify, filing legal motions, coaching witnesses, obstructing justice and delaying Judge Starr's inquiry for months and years, and then complaining that it has gone on too long. The polls agreed. Thank goodness that Judge Starr didn't read the polls, play politics or excuse you and look away. He held on to the evidence like a tenacious bulldog. Your supporters say that you've confessed your wrong doings and asked for our forgiveness. Listen, what you said on TV the night you testified to the grand jury was not a confession; overwhelming evidence is not a confession at all. Not that it would make a lot of difference. A murderer who contritely confesses his crime is still a murderer. When your "confession" didn't sell, even to your friends, you became more forthcoming. Maybe someday you'll confess more, but probably not. You've established such a pattern of lying that we can't believe you anymore. Neither can your cabinet, the Congress or any of the leaders of the nations of the world. When a leader's actions defame and emasculate our country as profoundly as yours have, it's no longer a personal matter, as you claim. It's no longer a matter among you, your family and your God. By the way, I don't believe for a minute that Hillary was unaware of your sexual misadventures, abuses of power and pattern of lying. She has been a party to your wrong doings since Whitewater and Jennifer Flowers just as surely as she lied about the Rose law firm's billings and hid the Vincent Foster evidence in your bedroom for two years. Why? So she could share in the raw power that your office carries. The two of you probably lied to Chelsea, but that is a matter among you, your family and your God. Remember the sign over James Carvill's desk during the l992 campaign? It

Re: [CTRL] The Shocking Truth About Psychiatric Drugs - Piper
-Caveat Lector- http://freeweb.digiweb.com/science_fiction/ThePiedPiper/chem.htm This is towards the end of the page. MSG this section has links and a short summary For those of you that might consider this weighty, I am back to doing my web page and will add it to my site and then (most times just) post the URL in the future. I need to find where the FDA has approved the spraying of MSG on crops, someone sent that to me months ago and I have upgraded since that time. Knowing this and putting together with the following that I am compiling you will see more problems, with children as well. SPECULATION: Aspartame was approved during the Regan administration, more things seem to have been added during the Bush administration, and Clinton has allowed even more. Instead of hearing about MSG like we used to do - it and more things like Canola are being approved every day. Let me add this for educators - would be hard to educate a child even with Ritalin or some other help is they are getting this in their food - expressly the school lunches, and when I can find Canola oil as a ingredient in a major brand of frozen crinkle cut potatoes, Yes I do believe it and MSG will be in school lunches. Will add this to my site and redo my site soon. They think that they can just watch what they eat and that this might blow over. That is not the case, and I am not going into dramatics. This is not complete, I have to take time to learn other things too - for those of you that are skeptical, please check these out. Will be following through by checking out how these things (proteins expressly) work through Mitochondria and Lysosomes. =Summary of some articles == (1) MSG and Aspartame Summary done on http://www.annapolis.net/members/holland/food.txt Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) derived from Glutamic acid, which is an excitotoxic amino acid that has been known to excite, brain cells sometimes to the point of killing them. MSG is a neurotropic drug (neurotropic means that it effects the nervous system) and when it effects a person the effects may not show up for up to 48 hours. Glutamic acid (an amino acid), and one of its salts is glutamate. Glutamate is one of the substances that make up protein. Different proteins are made up of different amino acids. MSG is manufactured through a process of protein hydrolysis. When glutamate is separated from protein and the product has 99% free glutamate then it is called "monosodium glutamate." When Protein Hydrolysate has less than 99% free glutamate, usually within the range of 8 to 40 per cent, then the product might have one of these names - "sodium caseinate," "calcium caseinate," "autolyzed yeast," "textured protein," "yeast food," "hydrolyzed vegetable protein," and "hydrolyzed protein." Hydrolyzed Protein (itself) may be in products under names like "flavoring" or "natural flavoring."

[CTRL] Homosexuals in the Military:OR Homosexual, Control Fiends and Pedophiles
-Caveat Lector- http://freeweb.digiweb.com/science_fiction/ThePiedPiper/sci_fi.htm http://freeweb.digiweb.com/science_fiction/ThePiedPiper/homo.htm Homosexuals in the Military OR Homosexual, Control Fiend, Pedophile Homosexuals: Who or What is Really Hiding in the Closet? (The Military as an Example) Many people would define the homosexual lifestyle as one of promiscuity. The reason for this is that homosexuals seem to be like the legendary "Peter Pan." By refusing to commit to someone of the opposite sex, they normally do not have to worry about the responsibility of children, much less the responsibility of a commitment. Also if they do decide to break off the relationship they normally do not have to worry about the legal tangles of divorce. Should admitted homosexuals that are seen as promiscuous, unable to make commitments, and unwilling to take on responsibility for other people be allowed to serve in the military? In the military you have to trust that the person next to you is Reliable enough that they won't get you killed. The military oath is a promise to defend the country. The contract that you are required to sign upon being accepted into the military is a commitment. Being in the military, means that you are responsible for the people you work with and that they are responsible for you. What kind of person do you want to depend on? Would you rather depend on someone that is willing to take on commitments of religion and family, or would you rather have to depend on someone that has a noncommittal lifestyle. By signing up in the military, you are signing an agreement that allows other people to control your life. So if the people that you are allowing to tell you what to do with your life were to require that you have to live with a person that doesn't seem to care about anything other than themselves, it seems as if the concept of trust and teamwork might get lost. Those same concepts of trust and teamwork are concepts the military can not afford to lose. Often the military is a large part of the first contact that the United States will have with other cultures. Since they often have the responsibility of dealing with people from other cultures, they need to be perceived as stable and responsible. If people in the military, are perceived by other countries as allowed to have idiosyncrasies such as this, will the other countries be enthusiastic about allowing our military to help when they have problems. The military image requires that the people of the military be true to the most stringent standards that their culture has. If you can not take pride yourself and your own culture, how can you understand the pride that someone else has in their culture. True homosexuals have decided what sex they are and what life style they want to follow. True homosexuals have seldom if ever been known to rape a heterosexual. This is usually, if not always done by those that use sex as a control feature. These controlling personalities are really in the closet! Because if the real truth were known, they usually are willing to have sex with any person - male or female of any age. These control fiends are the type to have a physical relationship with a single or divorce mother and also think nothing of having a relationship with here male OR female child. These control fiends are the ones that think that a child (as young as six) is old enough to decide their sexual orientation and to have a physical relationship, at six, based on that design. They refer to the child's parents, as people that have a slave mentality, and that want to keep the child from making an immediate choice. They are the main ones that would like to see homosexuals completely accepted since it will be harder to question these control fiends at that time. Some countries have been sympathetic to the American Homosexual. Iceland has an overwhelmingly female population - I think the current ratio is five females births to every one male birth, and parts of the Orient have five male births for every female birth. This leads to same sex dancing predominating in their clubs their clubs. The biggest difference that these countries have, particularly in the Orient is the family obligation to have children. They are usually not homosexual from choice, and they grow up knowing that they have a commitment to their family. The American homosexual has usually decided that they want few, if any commitments. Our constitution guaranties us the right to live our lives, as we want, as long as we do not infringe upon someone else's right. The constitution is a commitment between this country and it's people. The Constitution is also a commitment between the leaders of this country and the people. This nation was created by many different people, and different cultures. All of these people and cultures have a right to live in their own ways. But the military is suppose to be reliable, trustworthy, and to

He said the section of the Criminal Code that outlaws possession of child pornography is invalid because it violates charter provisions guaranteeing freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression. The case involved pornography possession charges against John Sharpe. Police raided his home near Vancouver in April 1995, seizing compact disks, photos and writings about child pornography. Prosecutors argued that allowing people to possess child pornography puts children at risk from pedophiles. But Shaw said the contention that materials depicting illegal sex with children actually prompt people to commit such acts was ``only assumption.'' ``The intrusion into freedom of expression and the right of privacy is so profound that it is not outweighed by the limited beneficial effects of the prohibition,'' Shaw wrote. The provincial attorney general, Ujjal Dosanjh, said he needed time to study the ruling before commenting or deciding on an appeal. However, Barry Penner, justice spokesman for the opposition Liberal Party in the provincial legislature, said the province should appeal immediately ``to look after children ... and protect them from being abused by sexual deviants.''

What follows is a detailed analysis of information that is available in the foreign press but has so far received little if any attention in the US. Although the details are complicated, the basic situation is very clear: 1) The Clinton administration is calling for a NATO/US solution to the Kosovo crisis because of a massacre of civilians which allegedly took place in the village of Racak in Kosovo. 2) A French TV crew was present when Yugoslav police took the village and say it was a fire-fight between Yugoslav forces and heavily-armed KLA fighters. Yugoslav forensic authorities have declared the massacre a hoax: dead KLA soldiers, they way, were redressed in civilian clothes and piled into a ditch they had dug. 3) The forensic case has been settled by a Finnish team of physicians brought in by the international community. However, the Finnish teams report has not been made public, even though it is now more than three weeks since the dead have been buried. What is in that report is almost certainly a confirmation of the Yugoslav position: a) because in leaving Yugoslavia the Finns made a statement praising the high professional standards of the Yugoslav forensic pathologists, and b) according to the respected German newspaper Die Welt, the report is "a hot potato" that will undermine the US position, and c) an independent forensics team from Belarus came to the same conclusion as the Yugoslav doctors. The Kosovo crisis is one of the most complex that an American government has ever faced. On one side are the claims (somewhat exaggerated) of majority rule; on the other side are the undisputed facts that Kosovo is, legally, only a region of Serbia and, historically, the very core of the Serbian heartland. Whatever the US decides to do about Kosovo, the Congress and the people have a right to get the full story from the administration, before even considering the use of intimidation and force. Kosovo: The Real Story Prepared by the editors of Chronicles and The Rockford Institute Self-inflicted atrocities and stage-managed "massacres" have paid rich dividends to the Muslim side in Bosnia. In May 1992 the Sarajevo "Breadline Massacre"-with TV crews mysteriously in attendance to film the blood and guts- facilitated the imposition of punitive sanctions against Serbia, some of which are still in force. Indian General Satish Nambiar, UN commander at the time, stated to me (March 6, 1999) that "no UN officer in the field at the time had any doubt that the Muslims did it to themselves in order to get political support and sympathy." In February 1994 the show was repeated at Sarajevos Markale market, with similar results: the Serbs were forced to withdraw heavy weapons around Sarajevo, and were bombed. for the first time by NATO soon thereafter. Subsequent UN investigation concluded that the Muslims did it to themselves (as confirmed by Lord Owen, General Sir Michael Rose and others), but the report was suppressed on US insistence. In August 1995 the "Trznica Massacre" in Sarajevo was the opener for some three weeks of massive American-led air strikes against the Bosnian Serbs, facilitating a Croat-Muslim offensive that ethnically cleansed western Bosnia of its Serb inhabitants. No independent investigation of the incident as demanded by the Serbs was even allowed this time. Right now the Administration is pressuring the Serbs to accept a NATO force of 28,000 on their territory, including 4,000 US servicemen, as a result of yet another stage-managed "massacre"-in the village of Racak in Kosovo--last January. That "massacre" resulted in Albrights and Clintons claim that no solution is acceptable in Kosovo unless it included a NATO force. By now the demand for Serbia to open its borders to some tens of thousands of foreign soldiers, or face NATO bombing, has become an immutable tenet in Washingtons approach to the region. The fact that the event which enabled the interventionists within the Administration to formulate such policy was entirely bogus, while largely known in Europe, is being actively suppressed by the US.

Related links CERT information on Melissa virus Microsoft patch The ''Melissa macro'' or W97M_Melissa virus spreads via infected e-mail and attacks computers loaded with Microsoft's widely used Word 97 or Word 2000 programs, according to CERT - or Computer Emergency Response Team - Carnegie Mellon's Department of Defense-funded computer security team. CERT first heard of the virus Friday afternoon and its members worked through the night to analyze the virus and develop a fix, CERT manager Katherine Fithen said. ''We're getting so many reports from across the world, that we know this is going to be a huge problem come Monday,'' Fithen said. She noted that since CERT was founded 10 years ago, this is only the second time it has considered a virus important enough to warrant a public announcement. The first, in 1994, warned of a virus that allowed computer burglars to collect passwords. CERT has not determined where the Melissa virus originated. Fithen said she is not allowed to say whether any governmental agency has suffered a security breach as the result of Melissa. Microsoft spokesman Adam Sohn said company programmers worked with CERT and manufacturers of anti-virus programs to develop an antidote. If a computer user opens an infected Word-format document, the virus propagates itself by reading the user's e-mail address book and sending an infected message to the first 50 entries, CERT said. The message can include the contents of any Word document that is open on the computer, Fithen said. Also, the virus reproduces and sends so much unwanted e-mail that the volume can overload some mail servers, the computers that distribute e-mail. However, it apparently causes no direct damage to a computer's memory or programs. Infected documents are sent as attachments to e-mails most frequently bearing a header: ''Subject: Important Message From'' the name of person whose computer relayed the virus.

[CTRL] [Fwd: B-GE: GE - Govt advice on ge contamination challenged by new independent report]
-Caveat Lector- SOIL ASSOCIATION PRESS RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL: 0001hrs Tuesday 2 March 1999 Government advice on genetic contamination challenged by new independent report Evidence that pollen from genetically modified crops can cause contamination over considerable distances has emerged in a new report. The Dispersal of Maize Pollen by Dr Jean Emberlin, Director of the National Pollen Research Unit (1), was commissioned by the Soil Association to establish hard scientific data on the risks posed to the integrity of organically grown maize and sweetcorn from cross-pollination by genetically modified crops. Last summer Environment Minister, Michael Meacher, refused to order the destruction of a crop of genetically modified (GM) maize bordering a Soil Association registered organic farm in Devon and claimed that there were no grounds for halting the field trials as it will not interfere with the sweetcorn crop being grown on a nearby farm(2). The Soil Association regrettably had to inform the farmer that the organic status of his sweetcorn would have to be removed if there was any evidence of contamination from the GM maize(3,4). The Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE), the Governments statutory advisors on the release of genetically engineered crops into the environment, stated that at a standard separation distance of 200 metres between the organic sweetcorn and the GM maize the likely cross-pollination frequency would result in no greater than 1 sweetcorn kernel in every 40,000 being a GM hybrid(5). However, Dr Jean Emberlin, having looked at all the research available, concluded that in conditions of moderate wind speeds the rates of cross-pollination at 200 metres would be in the order of 1 kernel in 93. Evidence is cited in Dr Emberlins report that maize pollen is collected by bees in notable amounts. In this way the pollen is transported several miles from the crop plot in suitable weather conditions. In the case of the organic farmer in Devon, ACRE failed even to consider cross-pollination of the organic sweetcorn by bees, even though there are several hives adjacent to the test plot. ACRE also brushed aside concerns about freak weather conditions by saying that this was generally taken into account with seed certification standards and there was at least 200 metres from the nearest GM maize to the organic farm(6). However the report states that: Substantial evidence exists for long range transport of considerable numbers of pollen grains .Maize pollen remains viable under normal conditions for approximately 24 hours giving potential for pollination by grains that had travelled many hundreds of kilometres on the airflow .Overall it is clear that the maize pollen spreads far beyond the 200 metres cited in several reports as being an acceptable separation distance to prevent cross-pollination. This new report undermines confidence in the advice given to the Government by ACRE who have so far given permission to trial GE crops at over 500 sites around the country. At least 8 members of ACRE have direct links with biotech research, and 6 members are involved with companies that have been given permission by ACRE to conduct these trials. The Soil Association believes that the apparent failure of ACRE to give impartial advice on the likelihood of cross-pollination threatens to remove choice from those who want to avoid GM contamination. Agriculture Minister, Nick Brown, has recently stated that The Government is absolutely committed to making sure that those who do not want to eat crops that have been cross-contaminated (with GMO ingredients), or to have their crops cross-contaminated (with GMO pollen), have their rights in this protected as well(7). Food Safety Minster, Jeff Rooker, has also repeated this promise, The Government is about in April to double the aid to persuade farmers to convert to organic production. Were not going to allow that public money to be put at risk by a cross-contamination of GM crops when they are grown.(8) The Soil Association is calling on the Government to honour these pledges and provide a response to this report with the utmost urgency in order to avoid potential cross-pollination from GE trial plots due to be planted in 1999. The Soil Association believes that it is not good enough for the biotech industry to be allowed to introduce these crops under a voluntary code of practice that fails to take cross-pollination of organic crops into account(9). Patrick Holden, Soil Association Director, said, The only way that the Government can fulfil its promise to protect organic farmers (and indeed conventional farmers) who wish to provide a GM-free choice for consumers is through a ban on the growing of genetically engineered maize. This report demonstrates that farmers who are attempting to grow GM-free crops will find it increasingly difficult to supply consumers with the GM-free food products that they are

Chlorine chemistry is clearly the premier example of humans adopting a new technology without thinking about the consequences. BREAST CANCER A recent study in Denmark reveals a relationship between breast cancer and the chlorinated pesticide dieldrin.[1] The prospective study examined blood taken in 1976 from 7712 women enrolled in the Copenhagen City Heart Study. In the following 17 years, 268 of the women developed breast cancer. The blood samples drawn in 1976 were analyzed in 1993 for 46 chlorinated chemicals, including 28 individual PCBs [polychlorinated biphenyls], and 18 other chlorinated compounds such as DDT, mirex, aldrin, dieldrin and others.[2] Of the compounds studied, only dieldrin was significantly elevated in the blood of women who developed breast cancer. Beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta-HCH) was also elevated in women with breast cancer, compared to those without breast cancer, but the finding was not statistically significant. In Denmark, about 14% of all women (one in seven) develop breast cancer, and the incidence of the disease has more than doubled in the past 30 years. Most of the identified "risk factors" for breast cancer indicate that estrogen (female sex hormone) in a woman's blood plays an important role in the disease. The major known "risk factors" for breast cancer are early menarche (early age when the period begins), late menopause, not having any children, late conception of the first child, and hormone-replacement treatment after menopause. All of these factors tend to increase a woman's lifetime exposure to estrogens circulating in the blood. The Copenhagen study found that the risk of breast cancer was twice as high in women with the highest concentrations of dieldrin in their blood serum, compared to women with the lowest concentrations. Furthermore, a significant dose-response relationship was evident -- the more dieldrin in the blood, the greater the chance that breast cancer would develop. Some previous studies have implicated certain organochlorines in breast cancer, while other studies have shown no such relationship. (See REHW #571, #572, #573, #574, #575.) The authors of the Copenhagen study say theirs is the first to properly compare blood levels of organochlorine compounds because they adjusted completely for varying levels of serum in the blood of each individual. They conclude that, "These findings support the hypothesis that exposure to xeno-oestrogens may increase the risk of breast cancer." Xeno-oestrogens are industrial chemicals (such as pesticides) that can mimic estrogen in the human body. The use of dieldrin in Denmark and in the U.S. was banned about 20 years ago but, in the industrialized world, nearly everyone's body still contains small amounts of stored dieldrin, along with several hundred other industrial poisons, many of them chlorinated. DIOXIN For several years, U.S. and European health authorities have been hinting that the general public is being exposed to levels of dioxin that are probably causing harm in sensitive people. (See REHW #390, #391, #636.) Now the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has confirmed the bad news. The term "dioxin" encompasses a family of 219 different toxic chlorinated chemicals, all with similar characteristics but different potencies. Because some dioxins are more toxic than others, scientists have established a way of comparing the toxicities and the quantities of various mixtures of dioxins. The technique is called TEQ, or toxic equivalents. The TEQ system takes into

[CTRL] TESTSMART PROJECT TO PROMOTE FASTER, CHEAPER, MORE HUMANE LAB TESTS
http://www.edf.org/pubs/NewsReleases/1999/Feb/g_testsmart.html Title: TESTSMART PROJECT TO PROMOTE FASTER, CHEAPER, MORE HUMANE LAB TESTS February 24, 1999 Testsmart Project to Promote Faster, Cheaper, More Humane Lab Tests Academic, Environmental Experts Awarded Joint Grant by Vira I. Heinz Endowment The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie-Mellon University announced the launch of TestSmart, a project designed to find more efficient and humane methods of conducting preliminary toxicity screening tests on chemicals. The four institutions will explore new testing methods that minimize the use of laboratory animals and produce reliable results faster and for less money than in the past. The search for new testing methods will help to speed an initiative, announced last year, to gather basic information on the health and environmental effects of nearly 3,000 high-production volume industrial chemicals. The TestSmart project is funded by a $320,000 grant from the Vira I. Heinz Endowment. Last October Vice President Al Gore announced a groundbreaking cooperative agreement among EDF, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) to test thousands of industrial chemicals that are used in the US in volumes of more than one million pounds each year. The agreement to test came after separate studies by EDF, EPA and CMA all concluded that basic health effects information is not publicly available for most major industrial chemicals. (More information on the high-production volume chemical testing initiative can be found online at: http://www.edf.org/pubs/NewsReleases/1998/Oct/b_cma.html.) The high-production volume chemicals will be tested over the next five years using screening methods as defined through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's international consensus process. Some of the test procedures now call for testing on laboratory rodents, fish and insects. The TestSmart project will explore alternative testing and evaluation techniques. "The search for better testing methods comes at a time when industry, government, and the environmental community have sat down together and agreed we are operating in the dark when it comes to chemical safety," said EDF senior toxicologist Ellen Silbergeld. "Getting basic test data is a key first step in giving the public what it is entitled to -- assurance that chemicals in our economy are not causing unknown harms to our health and environment -- and we want to see this testing done in the most efficient and most humane way possible." "Animal-based studies are used by virtually every regulatory agency in the world to set environmental standards designed to protect human health and the environment," said Dr. Alan M. Goldberg, director of the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing at Johns Hopkins University. "The HPV testing initiative offers an unprecedented opportunity to accomplish three important objectives: expand use of alternative techniques already known to be reliable; evaluate the reliability of additional emerging techniques; and identify areas where further targeted research is needed to develop new approaches. Although the use of laboratory rodents has long played a fundamental role in the science of toxicology and similarly in pharmacology emerging techniques appear to offer opportunities to significantly reduce use of animals while obtaining data that are of at least equal scientific value, and are cheaper and faster." "A key component of the initiative will involve use of Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis," said Dr. Herbert Rosenkranz, Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public Health. "Using SAR, it's possible in appropriate circumstances to extrapolate from data on the health and environmental effects of classes of chemicals to structurally related agents that have not yet been tested. SAR is well established for certain endpoints, and we'll be evaluating its application in a wider variety of contexts." "The project will also examine how to maximize the usefulness of the information provided by the testing program," said Dr. Lester Lave, Professor of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. "By examining the predictive power of alternate protocols and their subsequent impact on society's decisions, we will assess how to get the most valuable information within the prescribed time and at the least cost." In addition, the project team will help review proposals under the voluntary testing initiative to group similar chemicals into categories. Selected members of the categories would be tested and results interpolated to other members. While an important mechanism for enhancing the efficiency of testing and minimizing use of test animals, proper

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone: +61 (0)7 5442 9280; Fax: +61 (0)7 5442 9381 >From our web page at: http://www.peg.apc.org/~nexus/ Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson 1997 4 West 104th Street New York, NY 10025, USA Some 50 years after United States authorities began adding fluoride to public water supplies to reduce cavities in children's teeth, recently discovered declassified government documents are shedding new light on the roots of that still-controversial public health measure, revealing a surprising connection between the use of fluoride and the dawning of the nuclear age. Today, two-thirds of US public drinking water is fluoridated. Many municipalities still resist the practice, disbelieving the government's assurances of safety. Since the days of World War II when the US prevailed by building the world's first atomic bomb, the nation's public health leaders have maintained that low doses of fluoride are safe for people and good for children's teeth. That safety verdict should now be re-examined in the light of hundreds of once-secret WWII-era documents obtained by these reporters [authors Griffiths and Bryson], including declassified papers of the Manhattan Project-the ultra-secret US military program that produced the atomic bomb. Fluoride was the key chemical in atomic bomb production, according to the documents. Massive quantities-millions of tons-were essential for the manufacture of bomb-grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear weapons throughout the Cold War. One of the most toxic chemicals known, fluoride emerged as the leading chemical health hazard of the US atomic bomb program, both for workers and for nearby communities, the documents reveal. Other revelations include: ¥ Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists who had been secretly ordered to provide "evidence useful in litigation" against defence contractors for fluoride injury to citizens. The first lawsuits against the American A-bomb program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage, the documents show. ¥ Human studies were required. Bomb program researchers played a leading role in the design and implementation of the most extensive US study of the health effects of fluoridating public drinking water, conducted in Newburgh, New York, from 1945 to 1955. Then, in a classified operation code-named "Program F", they secretly gathered and analysed blood and tissue samples from Newburgh citizens with the cooperation of New York State Health Department personnel. ¥ The original, secret version (obtained by these reporters) of a study published by Program F scientists in the August 1948 Journal of the American Dental Association1 shows that evidence of adverse health effects from fluoride was censored by the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)-considered the most powerful of Cold War agencies-for reasons of "national security". ¥ The bomb program's fluoride safety studies were conducted at the University of Rochester-site of one of the most notorious human radiation experiments of the Cold War, in which unsuspecting hospital patients were injected with toxic doses of radioactive

With Computers, automation of machinery and the current databases that is no longer true. Why do you need servants to work the land IF anything you want can be cloned or replicated? Up till now the United Countries of America - Opps - The United States of America had governors and representatives that had the best interests of their individual states in mind. This is no longer true and the companies that are developing these databases and the states that are selling their information are allowing everything to be run from a central point. The database companies see a future in keeping track of everyone, they do not realize that this is not intended to be like China or any country with a lot of people.

It is either that they intend on being on Earth for a long time or if they own all the land then they can control the Earth from outer space. This sounds like some kind of Science Fiction theme, right? I have been looking for (not Argenmentum) but things that imply a break up of powers and a re-newal of the Earth's diversity. Then again there may not be a Intergalactic Stock market. We might just be representatives of the different cultures that make up the Intergalactic Scene. Could be they are using us for their own census or statistics. How? How long will it take us to get it right? Or alternatively, what pretty beads will Clinton(s) or Bush(s) take for their share of the Earth. With Clinton(s) or Bush(s) - way of doing things, kinda like the excommunicated Jew called Kissinger, who thinks that you need to have a war occasionally. With that way of thinking, they would sell their part of the Earth for what amounts to a pretty wheel. Well, They keep on re-inventing the wheel, they must think that the original wasn't made the right way. Or else they are afraid of losing control if we were allowed to have something else. So what will they do? Cut the population and re-write history. But if we can not see reality then how are we to figure out when we are being sold snake oil. We better do something because that group does not seem to have enough brains that are usable that would allow them to keep from being sold snake oil. Laura aka The Pied Piper Do not think in terms of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" or George Orwell's "1984", those are already in use in a certain format, and also being held over our heads so we do not look any farther. Where we need to look is for stories like Noah's flood! DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

OPPT NEWSBREAK Wednesday, 24 February 1999 Today's "Toxic News for the Net" Brought to you by the OPPTS Chemical Library http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/oppt_nb.txt NEWS " Green' Army Bullets to Get the Lead Out." USA Today, 23 February 99, 3A. The Army will release an environmentally friendly "green bullet", made without lead, this spring. By 2003, all bullets will be lead-free. Between 300 and 400 million rounds of small-caliber ammunition are used each year by the armed forces. Program manager, Wade Bunting, of the Armament Research Development and Engineering Center says "From an environmental standpoint, it's really important. We're going to be able to use this material and not be concerned with contaminating the soil or the ground water."' "Suit Over Garbage Stations [Digest]." New York Times, 24 February 99, A18. Angry that the once-prohibited clustering of garbage transfer stations in New York is now permitted, groups representing the environment, community and the Borough of Brooklyn have filed suit to change the rules. More than half of New York's 85 stations are located in Brooklyn's Red Hook, Greenpoint and Williamsburg subdivisions as well as the South Bronx. Odors, noise, trucks and other irritants are among the complaints expressed by residents of these neighborhoods. EDITORIAL COMMENTARY "EPA's Wasteful Grants [Commentary]." Washington Times, 24 February 99, A15. Deroy Murkock, an MSNBC columnist and a senior fellow with the Atlas Economic Research Foundation in Fairfax, [Va.], provides multiple examples from the Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) recently-released report "Phoney Philanthropy" by David E. Williams and Elizabeth L. Wright who explored how the EPA gave over $236 million to 839 non-profit groups in 1995 and 1996. He questions the appropriateness of some of the recipients, concluding: "The GOP Congress should hold oversight hearings on these and scores of other fishy EPA grants that CAGW has exposed. Then, with this nonsense clearly on the record, it can begin to slash EPA's budget accordingly." "Pollution Standards For Diesel Vehicles [Letters to the Editor]." New York Times, 24 February 99, A19. This letter is in disagreement with the EPA's anticipated approval of the use of economical diesel fuel, despite the public health risk from its cancer-linked product, soot. The author urges EPA to follow California's lead in the agency's development of new vehicle standards by setting strict emission standards and using alternative technologies, such as fuel-cell vehicles, that are both economical and nonthreatening. ACROSS THE USA, from USA Today "Bridgeville, Delaware [Across the USA]." USA Today, 23 February 99, 10A. A Carbon monoxide leak at the Interactive Marketing Services packaging plant sent six women to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital where they were treated and released. BOOK REVIEWS "Science Reporting Under a Microscope [Bookshelf]." Wall Street Journal, 24 February 99, A16. In his new book, "Environmental Cancer - A Political Disease?", authors S. Robert Lichter and Stanley Rothman compare and contrast the views of scientific experts, environmental activists and the media regarding the risks of getting cancer from man-made chemicals and naturally occurring chemicals in our environment. Lichter and Rothman demonstrate that the misinterpretation of hard science by activists and the media frequently results in scary reports that generate skepticism among readers. Man-made pesticides are shown in numerous studies to cause less than 5% of cancers, yet articles about pesticide exposure can be "scare-mongering". The authors suggest that scientific findings may be skewed in stories based on the reporter's choice of stories, words and the credibility of the "experts" quoted. The book contains "many fascinating charts and tables". "Former U.N. Arms Inspector Is Criticized by State Dept." New York Times, 24 February 99, A6. Former U.N. Arms Inspector, Scott Ritter, is being criticized by the State Department for misrepresenting the CIA's involvement in Iraqi arms inspections by contending in his book "Endgame", due this spring, that the agency helped plan inspections. In his book, Mr. Ritter says that CIA employees were placed on teams that inspected Iraq for chemical and biological weapons. Mr. Ritter's lawyer, Matthew L. Lifflander, retorts that there is nothing in the book that is not already public knowledge. The Pentagon did not request that Mr.

-Caveat Lector- FOOD BYTES #17 March 2, 1999 News and Analysis on Genetic Engineering, Factory Farming, Organics by: Ronnie Cummins Ben Lilliston Campaign for Food Safety Organic Consumers Association [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.purefood.org http//:www.organicconsumers.org Affiliated with the Center for Food Safety (Washington, D.C.) http://www.icta.org ___ Special Issue: Global Resistance Mounts Against Monsanto Genetic Engineering Quotes of the month: "Everybody over here hates us." Dan Verakis, Monsanto PR spokesman in the U.K., quoted in the London Observer 2/21/99. "Tony, Don't Swallow Bill's Seed." Greenpeace banner on their delivery truck Feb. 18 in London as they dumped four tons of US GE-tainted soybeans on the front steps of #10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Tony Blair's official residence. __ In what the Financial Times of London characterized on Feb. 23 as a "public relations disaster for transgenic foods," global resistance to Monsanto and genetic engineering (GE) has sharply intensified over the past 60 days. As reported previously in Food Bytes (#13 #15 ), the international anti-GE movement is rapidly developing into a serious threat to Monsanto and other biotechnology titans. The growing crisis over gene-foods has reached the point where financial analysts are warning the Clinton administration that the European Union will not back off on efforts to label untested GE foods. Many believe this controversy could spawn a major trade war within the World Trade Organization (WTO). In Britain commentators have similarly warned Prime Minister Tony Blair that his cozy relationship with Bill Clinton and Bill's favorite corporation, Monsanto, could do severe damage to Blair. It has been a rough last several months for Monsanto and the ag biotech special interests. Here is a chronological blow by blow account: * The Fall/Winter 1998 issue of the Union of Concerned Scientists' Gene Exchange www.ucsusa.org warns of recent US research showing that genetically engineered Bt crops are building up Bt toxins in the soil, thereby damaging the soil food web and harming beneficial insects. * On December 15, 1998 attorneys from the Center for Food Safety, on behalf of a broad coalition, filed a legal petition in Washington, D.C. against the FDA to have rBGH taken off the market. The legal action received major attention from the mass media, including a widely-viewed segment on ABC TV national news. The CFS petition cites mounting evidence that the original testing of rBGH was flawed. In 1990 the FDA said BGH was "safe for human consumption." Part of its findings were based on 90-day rat feeding studies in which they reported "no toxicologically significant changes..." Based largely on this conclusion, FDA did not require human toxicological tests usually required for a veterinary drug. However in April of 1998, researchers from Health Canada, the Canadian equivalent to FDA, issued a report which contradicted FDA's findings. Canadian researchers found studies showing that rats were absorbing rBGH after all. In fact, between 20 and 30 percent of the rats were developing distinct immunological reactions. Additionally, cysts formed in the thyroid of some male rats and infiltrated the prostate--both warning signs for potential cancer hazards. "These are toxicologically significant changes in the rats and they should have triggered a full human health review, including assessment of potential carcinogenic and immunological effects," said Dr. Michael Hansen, an expert on rBGH and a scientist with the Consumer Policy Institute, a division of Consumers Union. According to CFS attorneys it is "unclear" how or why these results were overlooked in the original FDA review of rBGH. Monsanto says it submitted the studies to the FDA, while the agency says it only saw summaries of the rat tests. "We're going to go to the courts and say--you were lied to," said Andrew Kimbrell, lead counsel for the CFS. "Essentially it was fraud by the agency and fraud by Monsanto in telling the court that there were no human health effects possible from consuming these products made with rBGH treated milk." The EU has already banned rBGH, but this policy comes up for review later this year. The US government has warned that they will file for damages under the WTO if the EU continues to ban Monsanto's rBGH. * Australian trade authorities announced on Jan. 8, the largest shipment of canola (rapeseed) ever exported from Australia. The $16.5 million dollar shipment is bound for oilseed crushing plants in Europe. According to Graham Lawrence, managing director of the New South Wales Grains Board, "Europe has moved to become a major buyer this year because Australia is the only country to guarantee non-genetic modified canola." Canada has lost $300-400 million in canola sales to Europe over
Re: [CTRL] Fwd: 13 Lucky Tips for Activists
-Caveat Lector- The major thing in Activism is to think of the future. What will happen? When we go to the stars and colonize other planets it will be a low maintenance, agricultural society. Think of some of Robert A. Heinlein's books example "Farmer In The Sky". I suspect that by having a two part diet that we are able to assimilate new plant DNA. Farmers, animal breeders, animal keepers are people that are interested in having the best and healthiest animals - and breed enough generations that they see genetic mutations faster than many other people. Animal cruelty or animal athletes? Fur, cruelty or like in the time from 1950 and before when even dog and cat skins were used for fur. I still have a handicraft book for groups as high as the Boy Scouts that refers to dog and cat hides being suitable for fur and skins. Recycling. Hunting with the hounds, the horses called Hunters, are they overworked or Animal Athletes. Human athletes have had injuries too, yet like (the ice skatter) Mark Hammel enjoy their work. So you would say that animals can not enjoy something? Why go against eating animals and learning about animals? If you know how intelligent an animal is, and that they can learn as much as a human that does not have hands or ways to manipulate. So how do you justify "The Powers That Be" by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has some ideas! Who has kept it that S. America who is so rich in DNA and diversity in resorting to raising Cattle? They have a type of animal like a lama that is one of the best wool animals in the world, yet the animal is being killed for meat and has had a hard time getting started. They have natural resources yet those resources are being supplanted by artificial plants and animals. Still and all our major problem (for now) is the monopolies and off shore banking, that allow this to happen.

A major problem with many activists is instead of personalizing the political, they politicize the personal.

It is an easy way out of making real change happen by just attacking this or that consumption pattern. What we need to remember is that by identifying certain aspects of Western lifestyle, such as meat-eating, smoking, or not boycotting the latest trendy issue, we are forgetting that it is the whole damn system that is wrong. Our power is more than our pocketbooks alone. To make real change we need to organize and find things that more of us have in common, not alienate others because they don't conform to some lifestyle guidelines.

Tingling, numbness and pain. Pain is often worse at night and with touch or change in temperature. The autonomic nervous system may also be involved and cause changes in vasculautre, dry, pale skin or red, sweaty skin. Ridged nails and osteoporisis can result. It can result from nutritional deficiency, environmental factors, diabetes, alcoholism, hypothyroidism. They suggest checking renal function with creatinine levels, liver function, and checking for porphyria. Demylenation is the loss of the myelin sheath around a nerve. This sheath is made up of fat and necessary for nerve function. Guillain-Barre Syndrome is the most common form of demyelinating polyneuropathy. The cause is unknown, but it appears that it is autoimmune, where the body's immune system attacks itself. It progresses more rapidly than most neuropathies. The symptoms are that weakness in the legs, then the arms, is more prominent than the sensory symptoms. The maximum degree of weakness is reached in 2-3 weeks. Steroids worsen the prognosis and something called plasmapheresis is useful and helps recovery. Patients need to be monitored for respiratory distress. They need to take in lots of fluids and should have their electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium) monitored as well.Most patients recover, but about 30% still have residual weakness after 3 years. 10% relapse. 5% die.

(new 23 Jan 99)What does this mean? Look at what oils are at your market. Check the labels on your favorite foods. Would you believe that a favorite crinkle cut, frozen potato has Canola oil as a ingredient? Now knowing that fats are crucial for the body and that even the brain has a large percentage of fat in it, what would happen, if you were to take out all the fat that the body is capable of utilizing, or at least utilizing easily? Here in the USA (it seems that) our primary source of fat for developing children is milk. Since the milk has BGH which means the cattle have required more antibiotics - those could well be in the milk too. What could this mean? Someone saying that we can not attack BGH because parents might take their children off of milk and - IF you do that you need to have information about the detrimental ways that oils and fats are processed. Just look at cottonseed oil, or even soybean oil which is often processed with solvents. Where could that lead to - the farmer! Who is trying to own the seed for cotton, soy, and many other things? Monsanto. Yet, consider what this might lead to IF this continues at the current rate. Will anyone trust naturally grown food or meat? Would we be talked into cloning all our meat? Cloning all our food? Take a look at all the things that are already on my page, I have many more to add, I am hearing of more daily and many more could be under authorization - even at this date. Yet, would they keep all these items out of the cloned food and meat or just find more to add. Recently there was a go ahead to spray crops with MSG. I do not know if it was implemented but would this mean that only food sprayed with MSG would be appealing to children? MSG is a excitotoxin, so would the children basically go into withdraw if they do not get it? Also IF we are ever able to go from cloning to replicating. Imagine who would control the (cloned?) replicator material? The Pharmaceutical companies? What of off shore banks, one Euro currency, maybe one American currency? Could this lead to a World Monopoly? Would the World Bank eventually end up being the only bank? I say Viva La Difference! Currency seems to be converted easily enough when you buy on line. Could it be that the technology for replication is already in place? Who would know what patents are in the patent office, or what inventions are already being used by the Military - that will soon trickle down to the public? Who would know? Would people in the government know? Who would have control, Cattle Futures anyone? Or should I say grain futures? Could be there might even be a new one - anyone for futures on "Human Life?" Many of these things seem to be happening or continuing under the Clinton administration, yet would I look to Bill Clinton? He has not been the one that has done the research in that family! Who would I look at, why at Hillary of course. If the Cliftons know that this will happen soon or could be in the future - could you imagine what it would be like with all these chemicals out on the market?Mainly people sick or dying, a data base of all purchases that you have received through the replicate, what chemicals were add. Recently a group of people died from artificial blood, of course they volunteered for the experiment? No, they did not. This is the type of bills that are passing or that are allowed to continue.

-Caveat Lector- Govermental parts: Lincoln unpegged the Constitution - and it has never been put back in the same form. Kennedy killed so Nixon would take office and unpeg us from the Gold Standard Clinton unpegging us from Morals. I am putting this togeather as a data base. The bottom line is that we have heard that something is dangerous or causes cancer one week and then hear that it is safe the next week. The reasearch saying that many things are not dangerous is coming from the very companies that have a vested intrested or that are producing that product. Example: The FDA (currently) uses research data from Monsanto, the very company that makes Aspartame - which has been proved to be detrimental to health. Because of this lawsuits are hard to get going, and when you follow the trail of money farther and see that Monsanto has paid some of our top officials you realize that they are (probally) taking other bribes. This page along with my web page at http://members.xoom.com/ThePiedPiper/EducationReligionandPropoganda.htm Are putting a lot of things togeather, Subject: Connections between Clinton, Bush and many more!

Since these links "seem" to show that there is a "POSSIBLE" link between Monsanto - Their Aspartame (seems to act the same as MSG) Clinton(s) Bush Dole Coors CIA HSLDF (Home School Legal Defense Fund) CHADD Just a thought - If there were a galactic Stock market, what would we trade?

To see ahead - if there is a Surplus of people then it means that our world leaders were not doing a very good job. Or else it is their doing. I think that the stock on Planet Earth would be a all time low right now. They advicate doing away with the very Diversity of plants, animals, cultures, traditions, human beings that have made us worth something up till now. Think these people would "probally" sell the earth for a necklace of pretty trinkets! They may have money now and control but they are bankrupting the Earth if we ever do meet with other Intergalactic Travelers. *more links in Italics* This is a bit more complete, and meant to replace the last one. These are from a data base that I am doing for my web site -which is currently down for some reason!!!. I have seen this post shot down as a hoax, so I offer this links in rebuttal of some that would say Aspartame is not hazardous and support of this post. Nancy Markel was NOT the original author, but overall the post is on track. Another point is that Aspartame is suppose to Mimic MS ect., I personally am not interested in something that even Mimics diseases such as this post describes!

Neuropathy is the destruction of nerve cells resulting in paresis or paralysis while demylenation is the destruction of the outer coat of the nerve cell resulting in essentially the same thing. Multiple scerosis is charactorized the demylenation phenomenon. Usually anti-mylin antibodies are responsible for the demylenation.

Laura aka The Pied Piper Subject: I Agree... This letter was written by Eric Jowers, a retired Army Officer, who served as public affairs officer at Fort Rucker from 1989 to 1991. He now lives in Ozark, Alabama. - Dear Mr. President: It's not about sex. If it were about sex, you would be long gone. Just like a doctor, attorney or teacher who had sex with a patient, client or student half his age, you would have violated the ethics of your office and would be long gone. Just like a Sergeant Major of the Army, Gene McKinney, who though found not guilty, was forced to resign amid accusations of sexual abuse. Remember the Air Force General you wouldn't nominate to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he freely admitted to an affair almost 15 years before, while he and his wife were separated? Unlike you, he was never accused of having a starry-eyed office assistant my daughter's age perform oral sex on him while he was on the phone and his wife and daughter were upstairs. If it were about sex, you should be subjected to the same horrible hearings that Clarence Thomas was subjected to because of the accusations of Anita Hill. The only accusation then was that he talked dirty to her; he didn't even leave semen stains on her dress. No, it's not about sex. It's about character. It's about lying. It's about arrogance. It's about abuse of power. It's about dodging the draft and lying about it. When caught in a lie by letters you wrote, you concocted a story that nobody believed. But we excused it and looked away. It's about smoking dope, and lying about it. "I didn't inhale," you said. Sure, and when I was 15 and my buddies and I swiped a beer from an unwatched refrigerator, we drank from it, but we didn't swallow. "I broke no laws of the United States," you said. That's right, you smoked dope in England or Norway or Moscow; where you were demonstrating against the U.S.A. You lied, but we excused it and looked away. It's about you selling overnight stays in the White House to any foreigner or other contributor with untraceable cash. It's about Whitewater and Jim and Susan McDougal and Arkansas, Gov. Jim Guy Tucker and Vincent Foster and Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones and Karen Willey and nearly countless others. It's about stealing the records from Foster's office while his body was still warm and putting them in your bedroom and "not noticing them" for two years. It's about illegal political contributions. It's about you and Al Gore soliciting contributions and selling influence at Buddhist temples and in the same Oval Office where Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt led their countries through the dark days of wars that threatened the very existence of our nation. But we excused you and looked away. It's about hiding evidence from Ken Starr, refusing to testify, filing legal motions, coaching witnesses, obstructing justice and delaying Judge Starr's inquiry for months and years, and then complaining that it has gone on too long. The polls agreed. Thank goodness that Judge Starr didn't read the polls, play politics or excuse you and look away. He held on to the evidence like a tenacious bulldog. Your supporters say that you've confessed your wrong doings and asked for our forgiveness. Listen, what you said on TV the night you testified to the grand jury was not a confession; overwhelming evidence is not a confession at all. Not that it would make a lot of difference. A murderer who contritely confesses his crime is still a murderer. When your "confession" didn't sell, even to your friends, you became more forthcoming. Maybe someday you'll confess more, but probably not. You've established such a pattern of lying that we can't believe you anymore. Neither can your cabinet, the Congress or any of the leaders of the nations of the world. When a leader's actions defame and emasculate our country as profoundly as yours have, it's no longer a personal matter, as you claim. It's no longer a matter among you, your family and your God. By the way, I don't believe for a minute that Hillary was unaware of your sexual misadventures, abuses of power and pattern of lying. She has been a party to your wrong doings since

DDT is extremely persistent, bioaccumulates in food chains and human breast milk, and is a probably human carcinogen and suspected endocrine disruptor. Because of its potential environmental and public health effects, as well as problems of vector resistance in some areas, the World Health Organization has begun moving away from its long-time endorsement of DDT in public health campaigns. Among the recommendations of the meeting were: *That all governments commit to the phase-out and eventual elimination of DDT production and use; *That malaria risk management be maintained and improved through the development and use of safe, sustainable alternative means of vector control; *That increased spending on malaria drug research, treatment, and public health surveillance be committed during the DDT phaseout to ensure that the health of people in malaria-endemic zones is not compromised. During a week of talks in Nairobi, negotiators made slow progress in drafting a global treaty to eliminate the use, production, and emission of certain persistent organic pollutants, or POPs. Delegates from more than 100 countries agreed to a first draft text of a treaty that would initially restrict or eliminate twelve POPs, including pesticides, industrial chemicals, and unintended by-products. They discussed possible mechanisms for transferring technical and financial resources to developing countries, where many POPs pesticides are still commonly used What remains unclear, however, is whether the governments are truly committed to total elimination of these substances, which now contaminate every living thing on earth and pose a serious threat to human health and the environment worldwide. At this second of five expected negotiating sessions, some governments seemed to indicate a desire to limit action to merely controlling POPs use and release. For example, the U.S. proposed changing the "prohibit production and use" language to "take measures to prohibit." It was disappointing to see the U.S. take the lead in proposing weakening language. As part of the International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN) of non-governmental organizations participating in the negotiations, PSR urged negotiators not to lose sight of the long-term goal of POPs elimination. "The U.S. is not exerting the leadership needed to get rid of these harmful chemicals once and for all," said PSR environment director Sharon Newsome. "The goal of the treaty must be POPs elimination. The U.S. should lead the way in this worldwide effort to protect the public health." POPS ALERT! The U.S. EPA has published its long-awaited "Multimedia Strategy for Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) Pollutants" (http://www.epa.gov/pbt/pbtstrat.htm). The strategy takes EPA incrementally in the right direction by focusing on all pollutant sources -- air, water, and land; and it is an important step in integrating EPA programs that have been fragmented and ineffective. As an effort to implement zero discharge and virtual elimination, it is worse than timid; it is actually a retreat. The strategy abandons the goal of eliminating persistent toxic substances in the Great Lakes and other watersheds, and fails to propose the most effective policy tools bans and phase-outs of chemicals needed to achieve that goal. The EPA is accepting public comments on its proposed strategy until February 16. Please write to EPA Administrator Carol Browner before this date and urge her to develop and implement a strong PBT strategy that includes a zero discharge goal that ends the release

[CTRL] Could Noah's flood return? #1
-Caveat Lector- Considering that some believe that there is a surplus of people on the earth and it "seems" that they are tying up the patent office to keep new inventions off the market that might help us with recycling and ect. I have a question to ask! If there were a galactic stock market - what would we trade? Why would stock in the earth be worth while? Diamonds and gold are universal items. The only unique item the earth has is it's diversity of plants, animals, thoughts, cultures, people. There are some that are attempting global control, global monopolies. They want to control our food supply by taking away our diversity of plants, to control people by genocide. Could it be that in actual fact some of these technologies can be done without all the apparatus that they currently use, that they were done before? That stock in Planet Earth went to an all time low before and so someone decided to start the experiment from the beginning? That they got rid of people like Bush, Clinton, Gore - so on and reseeded the Earth? It is not the Apocalypse the we may be worrying about. When a companies stock hits a all time low it is capable of being sold at a cheep price. What if the next people to buy into Earth decide to use it as a natural food supply? Cloning or Replicating has to be common, so how much is natural food worth. Considering all the chemicals, ect in the enviroment that retard brain development - they will not have to worry about eating a thinking being. Or they might just clean up the enviroment - that would include cleaning up the way of thinking, this current mind set. Will be continuing this line of thought, after finals!

They say the U.S. government knew about infected blood plasma from state prison inmates yet failed to stop its export. If I had asked questions 15 years ago, lives could have been saved, said Michael Galster, a former medical worker at a now-defunct Arkansas company which collected plasma from a state prison in Grady, Ark. The plasma was sold in Canada and is suspected of having caused widespread disease among hemophiliacs who need the blood-clotting characteristics of the blood product. Why Was It Allowed Out? The Food and Drug Administration decided the plasma was not fit for the United States, said hemophiliac Michael McCarthy. Its unbelievable that they allowed it to be exported. McCarthy is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the Canadian government for failing to safeguard that nations blood supply. At a news conference, the Canadians said they plan to sue the FDA and the states of Arkansas and Louisiana, which allowed private companies to take blood plasma from prison inmates in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They said they plan to question President Clinton in connection with the lawsuit about what he knew of the prison plasma program when he was Arkansas governor. FDA Told of Infection Immediately According to a report prepared for the Canadian government, the Arkansas company, Health Management Associates, promptly told the FDA about blood samples that had been collected from five Arkansas inmates who had previously tested positive for hepatitis. The FDA informed the Canadian government, because some of the plasma from the company had been exported to Canada, and the company voluntarily kept off the market the plasma it still had. FDA spokesman Lawrence Bachorik said the agency does not comment on pending or potential litigation. The 1983 incident at the prison in Grady became an important part of the study prepared for the Canadian government on how hemophiliacs in Canada might have contracted hepatitis C. Regarding Clinton, theres no credible suggestion of any involvement by the president when he was governor, said White House spokesman Jim Kennedy. Any issues relating to how the state of Arkansas dealt with this matter should be referred to the relevant agencies. Any suggestion of any possible future legal actions involving the president are at this point hypothetical, and unless and until legal action is taken were not going to comment on hypothetical legal actions.

Tainted Vaccine Given to Millions." Washington Times, 17 February 99, A1, A18. A new study on the effects of SV40, a virus that came from dead monkeys whose kidney cells were used to culture the first Salk vaccines, found evidence linking the monkey virus to a number of human cancers, including brain tumors, bone cancer, and mesothelioma, a once-rare type of lung cancer linked primarily to exposure to asbestos. Tens of millions of people who received the vaccine in the 1950s and 1960s are at risk of having been infected. The study was led by Dr. Janet Butel of the Baylor College of Medicine in Waco, Texas, and is published in the _Journal of the National Cancer Institute_ [no citation given].

New York Times, 16 February 99, D1, D4. Scientists studying chemical tracers of past climates believe that the warm period of today could continue for 20,000 years or more, prolonging earth's entrance into another ice age. New evidence from deep-ocean sediments indicates that warm periods in that past lasted longer than scientists thought. Scientists compare today's warm period, called the Holocene period or Stage 1, to a similar interglacial, called Stage 11, that occurred 400,000 years ago. The effects of burning fossil fuels today, however, were not present in the past. Green house gases are expected to warm the earth's temperature so that it will melt ice, flooding coastal areas and the tropics. * All items, unless indicated otherwise, are available at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxicities Substances (OPPTS) Chemical Library Northeast Mall, Room B606 (Mailcode 7407) Washington, D.C. 20460 (202) 260-3944; FAX x4659; E-mail for comments: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Due to copyright restrictions, the library cannot provide photocopies of articles.) *Viewpoints expressed in the above articles do not necessarily reflect EPA policy.

[CTRL] California senators push for ban of MTBE
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19990219_xex_california_s.shtml Title: California senators push for ban of MTBE | | | | FRIDAY FEBRUARY 191999 California senators push for ban of MTBE Gas additive forced closure of water supply systems By Stephan Archer 1999 WorldNetDaily.com SACRAMENTO, Calif -- State senators plan to protest the use of MTBE and to persuade Gov. Gray Davis to ban the gasoline additive that has caused the closure of dozens of drinking water supply systems throughout the state. Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was first introduced into Californians' gas tanks in the early and mid-1990s in an effort to lower car emissions and reduce air pollution. But since its introduction in the state, more than 10,000 wells, lakes and reservoirs have been polluted with the substance. Sen. Tim Leslie, R-Tahoe City, along with his colleagues, Sen. Dick Mountjoy, R-Arcadia, Sen. Don Perata, D-East Bay, and others will be meeting on the south steps of the state Capitol next Tuesday to rally for an immediate ban of MTBE. All three senators are currently carrying legislation to make MTBE use unlawful in California. Leslie's legislation, Senate Bill 272, says, in part, it would "make it a misdemeanor for any person to sell gasoline containing MTBE." It also makes the following statements about MTBE: MTBE is highly soluble in water and will transfer readily to groundwater. MTBE is capable of contaminating water resources faster than any other gasoline component and has been detected in California's drinking water wells, groundwater, and surface water. It is clear that California is placing its limited water resources at risk by using MTBE in gasoline. MTBE is an animal carcinogen with the potential to cause cancer in humans. MTBE jeopardizes the safety and availability of California's water supply and is clearly a public health threat. The cost of treating MTBE-contaminated drinking water sources in California could have a severe impact on state funds. Leslie's bill also states that studies have shown that no significant air quality benefit has been found in the use of MTBE. "A recent University of California study concluded that MTBE provides no significant benefit to air quality yet has the potential to cause great harm to our state's water supply," said Leslie. "Common sense dictates that we take immediate and necessary measures to protect the quality of our state's drinking water and the health of Californians. MTBE must go." The study being referred to is one the University of California was directed to conduct after former California Gov. Pete Wilson signed into law Mountjoy's Senate Bill 521 Oct. 8, 1997. This bill enacted the MTBE Public Health and Environmental Protection Act of 1997. Leslie said that next week's rally will also coincide with a public hearing at the Sacramento Convention Center where the California Environmental Protection Agency will hear testimony pertaining to MTBE. The state's governor must decide whether or not to prohibit MTBE use in California within 10 days of the public hearing. Currently, the governor has no official position on the issue. It is Leslie's hope that the rally and the public hearing will encourage the governor to ban, or phase out, MTBE. If he doesn't, Leslie and others plan to move forward with their bills to ban the substance. "Kick MTBE out of California, and do it now!" exclaimed Leslie. Besides California, other states -- including Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and New York -- have proposed legislation that would ban MTBE. In Alaska and part of Montana, MTBE has already been banned due to motorists' complaints of health problems including sore throats, nausea and trouble with breathing. North Carolina also banned MTBE, but the state's action was due to the additive's classification as a probable carcinogen in people. Besides being detected in the California water supply, MTBE has also been found in 137 water supplies across New Hampshire, dozens of wells in Connecticut and various other water supplies across the U.S. In Texas, for example, some state and local officials are concerned that MTBE pollution in their state's water supply may force them to shut down some of the water wells in their state.

Activist Mailing List - http://users.westnet.gr/~cgian/ Frankenfoods: BBC sez: Clinton pressured British head of state=20 The BBC is a curious organization. It has never been privatized. Since its creation in the 1920's it has been a corporation funded by listener license fees; but in spite of its governmental links, it has always claimed its editorial policies to be independent of the govenment. [I think there was a time when Mrs. Thatcher acted to put the BBC in its place, but it still astounds me when I see/hear the difference in content between the BBC and the U$ National Public Radio in its news offerings.] Anyway, today, in so many words the BBC accuses the Brirtish. Prime Minister of taking a position favouring genetically manipulated food simply because he was personally persuaded to do so by Pres. Clinton. Apart from reading what's posted below, take a look at=20 BBC News | Food under the microscope | Special report: Food under the microscope http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/special_report/1999/02/99/food_under_the_microscope/newsid_28/280396.stm This covers several topics - it looks as though it will remain available for some time =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= BBC (London)Wednesday, February 17, 1999=20 GM foods: What's the hurry ? By Environment Correspondent Alex Kirby Science is generally a better guide than superstition, and the message from many - though not all - scientists in the debate over genetically modified food is that they could be an enormous benefit to humanity. The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, for instance, "rejects the arguments of those calling for a blanket moratorium". And while English Nature, the government's wildlife adviser, wants a moratorium for at least three years on certain sorts of GM crops, it also rejects any suggestion of a blanket ban. What does unite many scientists is a belief that there should be more research, and that that will take time. MINISTERIAL DIFFERENCES So why does the government insist on pushing ahead with GM foods without conceding that a pause of a few years could help everyone? The government is not in fact united. Environment Minister Michael Meacher is noticeably more cautious than some of his colleagues. One of the most combative is the Cabinet Office Minister, Dr Jack Cunningham. But he is involved in a dialogue with organic groups like the Soil Association. He has not so far changed his mind. But it would probably make little difference if he did. The driving force for pushing ahead with GM technology straight away is the Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Last year Mr Blair is reported to have had a telephone conversation with President Clinton about GMOs. [But an official source] "absolutely and categorically denies that Bill Clinton has ever raised the subject of GMOs with Tony Blair". But two [other]sources have told BBC News Online that they believe such a conversation did take place and that it led to the prime minister changing his mind on GMOs. He is now resolute in arguing that there is no need for a moratorium, or for any other policy change. And the government welcomes Monsanto and the other biotechnology firms. SAFER NOT TO YIELD But there may be another reason for it refusing to change its line. It is estimated that 60% of products on supermarket shelves already contain GM crop products. They may well be as safe as their supporters say they are, although the BSE scandal should have taught politicians that "absolutely safe" is a phrase they should never, ever use. But if the government now conceded that a moratorium was necessary, it would in effect be admitting that its confidence had been dented. Politicians say the science supports them. To an extent, it does. But the scientists are not unanimous. That is no way to restore public confidence. And a question mark remains over the government's independence of pressure from Washington.

-Caveat Lector- Subject: B-GE: Guardian (London) writes about Monsanto political clout Biotech food giant wields power in Washington John Vidal on the politics of the GM food industry Guardian (London)Thursday February 18, 1999 While European scientists, politicians, and pressure groups furiously debate the merits of GM foods, there is barely any discussion in the US, the home of the $50-billion-a-year bio-technelogy industry. The US government, which actively promotes the industry worldwide and accepts millions of dollars a year from Monsanto and other companies, maintains there is no health or environmental risk. But the foods have been introduced with very few people being aware of them, and Monsanto, the leading food revolution company, is widely regarded as one of the world's most innovative, successful and responsible companies. It employs 25,000 people, including 1,900 scientists, gives freely to charities and foundations, and pays for science theme parks. It is a hero on Wall Street where in the four years since its visionary chief executive, Bob Shapiro, took over and started launchung its GM products on the world market, it has seen its share price soar and its market capitalisation grow to more than $26 billion. The science-friendly corporate image of environmental responsibility has been built on its very close links to political parties, say Monsanto critics. The company is one of three big funders of Clinton's Welfare-to-Work programme, and there is a constant exchange of staff between the government, the company and the regulatory bodies. Its access to power isbarely questioned. Scientists are widely trusted and what is good for corporations is seen as good for everyone. A Monsanto board member chaired Clinton's presidential campaign. Another senior executive mapped US pesticide policy, and a third was a top Clinton aide. The company also donates heavily to both main political parties and pays lobbyists to represent its interests at every point. Like other corporations it quite legally gives money to congressmen who sit on food safety and regulatory committees. Betty Martini, of the consumer group, Mission Possible, which watches Monsanto's activities in the US, said: 'The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates the US food industry, is so closely linked to the biotech industry now that it could be desribed as their Washington branch office.' Monsanto executives agree that they work closely with the government but say that the regulatory system is based on sound science. 'It's tough to get anything through', says a company spokesman. The company, with other biotech firms, paved the way for public acceptance of GM technology up to 10 years ago by preparing 'educational' information for schools and investing heavily in science museums. Meanwhile it and other companies were lobbying global organisations to prohibit the worldwide labelling of GM foods. US embassies around the world are known to lobby for the industry in most countries But the first stirrings of revolt are now being heard. US activists are targeting company chiefs, and the powerful Union of Concerned Scientists is calling for more caution. The health and environmental risks are under-appreciaed, says Dr Marion Mellon of the UCS. 'Billions of dollars have been devoted to developing the technology but few resources have been put into understanding its effects.' Meanwhile unexpected environmental results in the US are worrying farmers, and the rapidly growing healthfood and organic farming industry. This month, 89,000 packets of organic tortilla chips had to be destroyed after being found to contain GM organisms. It is believed that they were 'contaminated' by a nearby field of GM maize. The US requires that no GM foods be labelled, and allows biotech companies to largely police themselves. After heavy lobbying, the biotech industry has persuaded 14 states to pass laws to prevent the 'spreading of false and damaging information about food'. The heavily subsidised US food industry is thought to be worth more than $300 billion a year and its acceptance of the GM revolution is almost complete. Fifty million acres of land was grown with GM crops, last year in the US, much of it soyabean and maize. Acreage is expected to double within two years and grow exponentially for at least five years. ** NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

Now I "believe I" know why I am seeing so much cottonseed oil used in things. I did not start looking until they started using Canola oil, though. Soybean oil often has solvents still in it from the manufacturing process, cottonseed is not a good oil, and Canola from rapeseed will keep your cholesterol down while it strips the myelin sheath off of your nerves.

Diets that cause an essential fatty acid deficiency always produce an increase in serum cholesterol levels as well as in increase in the atherosclerotic indices. The same effect has also been seen when other ...highly hydrogenated oils such as cottonseed, soybean or corn oils have been fed; so it is clearly a function of the hydrogenated products, either because the oil is essential fatty acid (EFA) deficient or because of trans fatty acids. What about studies where animals were fed unprocessed coconut oil? Enig wrote: Hostmark et al (1980) compared the effects of diets containing 10% coconut oil and 10% sunflower oil on lipoprotein distribution in male Wistar rats. Coconut oil feeding produced significantly lower levels (p=0.05) of pre-beta lipoproteins (VLDL) and significantly higher (p=0.01) alpha-lipoproteins (HDL) relative to sunflower feeding. (Editors note: HDLs are considered the good cholesterol as they prevent deposits of LDL cholesterol on artery walls.) She also cited a study by Awad (1981) on Wistar rats fed a diet of either 14% (natural) coconut oil or 14% safflower oil. She stated:Total tissue cholesterol accumulation for animals on the safflower diet was six times greater than for animals fed the [unhydrogenated] coconut oil..A conclusion that can be drawn from some of the animal research is that feeding hydrogenated coconut oil devoid of essential fatty acids(EFA)...potentiates the formation of atherosclerosis markers. It is of note that animals fed regular coconut oil have less cholesterol deposited in their livers and other parts of their bodies. Enig also referred to epidemiological studies done by Kaunitz and Dayrit (1992) on coconut eating societies who found that available population studies show that dietary coconut oil does not lead to high serum cholesterol nor to high coronary heart disease.. It is noteworthy that hydrogenated coconut oil was not consumed by these coconut eating societies; they only consumed natural coconut oil." > It should come as no surprise, that PG funded this study that found > Olestra containing products are completely safe.

SUBSCRIBE RACHEL-WEEKLY YOUR NAME in the message. . = AGAINST THE GRAIN, PART 2 The corporations that are introducing genetically modified crops into the global ecosystem want you to think of genetic engineering as a well-understood science similar to laparascopic surgery. Indeed, the phrase "genetic engineering" gives the impression that moving genes from one organism to another is as straightforward as designing a rocket or a TV set. This is not the case. Basically, a plant's genome (all of its genes, taken together) is a black box. Genetic engineering takes a gene from one black box and forces it into a second black box (the recipient plant), hoping that the new gene will "take." Most of the time, the experiment fails.[1] Once in a few thousand tries, the foreign gene embeds itself in the recipient plant's genome and the newly-modified plant gains the desired trait. But that is all the technicians know. They have no idea where in the receiving plant's genome the new gene has found a home. This fundamental ignorance, combined with the speed and scale at which modified organisms are being released into the global ecosystem, raises a host of questions of safety for the future of agriculture, for the environment, and for human health. ** To begin with, genes don't necessarily control a single trait. A gene may control several different traits in a plant. Without careful study, plants with undesirable characteristics may be released into the global ecosystem. And biotechnology is not like a chemical spill that can be mopped up -- once you release a new gene sequence into nature, your grandchildren are going to be living with it because there's no taking it back. ** How a gene affects a plant depends upon the environment. The same gene can have different effects, depending on the environment in which the new plant is growing.[2] What appears predictable and safe after a few years of observation of a small test plot may turn out to have quite different consequences when introduced into millions of acres of croplands in the U.S. and elsewhere, where conditions vary widely. ** Does the new gene destabilize the entire plant genome in some unforeseen way, leading one day to problems in that crop? Only time will tell. ** Genes can travel to nearby, related plants on their own. This is called gene flow. In 1996 gene flow was discovered to be much more common that previously thought.[3] According to SCIENCE magazine, many ecologists say it is only a matter of time before an engineered gene makes the leap to a weedy species, this creating a new weed or invigorating an old one. "It will probably happen in far less than 1% of the products," warns ecological geneticist Norm Ellstrand of the University of California at Riverside, "but within 10 years we will have a moderate-to-large scale ecological or economic catastrophe, because there will be so many [genetically modified] products being released,"[3] Ellstrand predicts. It is worth noting that U.S. farmers already spend $4.3 billion purchasing 628 million pounds of herbicides (active ingredients only) to control weeds.[4,pg.32] The Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) recommended that all genetically modified plants should be considered non-indigenous exotic species, with the power to disrupt ecosystems.[4,pg.29] Non-indigenous, introduced species have provided great benefits to humanity (most of U.S. agriculture relies on introduced species), but we also should learn from kudzu, purple loosestrife, the gypsy moth, the fire ant, and the boll weevil that exotic species can be extremely disruptive and very expensive to control (if indeed they can be controlled at all). ** A public health disaster was narrowly averted in 1996 when a group of researchers tried to improve soybeans by giving them a gene from the Brazil nut.[5] The
