Re: [CTRL] FBI Must Reveal Computer Snooping Technique
-Caveat Lector- One hope the evidence collected will be thrown out since the search was indiscriminate and barred under the constitution, God forbid though it should go to the Supreme Court Lord only knows what they would rule on the subject considering their willy nilly al over the field rulings.

(Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the government to reveal the high-tech computer snooping technique used by the FBI to gather evidence against an alleged mobster. In a case that privacy advocates say smacks of Big Brother, U.S. District Judge Nicholas Politan ruled that the government must reveal the details of the computer monitoring system it used to gather evidence against Nicodemo Scarfo Jr., who is charged with running illegal gambling and loan-sharking operations for the Gambino crime family. Scarfo is the son of imprisoned mobster Nicodemo Little Nicky Scarfo. The case is believed to be the first in the nation in which federal agents installed a secret surveillance system in a personal computer system under search warrant, and the first to be tested in U.S. courts. The FBI recorded virtually every keystroke made on Scarfo's computer at his Belleville, New Jersey, business, including passwords, using a key logger device. Whether the system is hardware or software is unknown, prompting a motion by Scarfo's attorneys to reveal its makeup so they could have it analyzed and make a case to suppress the evidence it gathered. Politan ruled that in order to decide the lawfulness of the government surveillance, he must see a full report on how the device works, imposing an Aug. 31 deadline. In this new age of rapidly evolving technology, the court cannot make a determination as to the lawfulness of the government's search ... without knowing specifically how the search was effectuated, he wrote. This requires an understanding of how the key logger device functions. In most, if not all search and seizure cases, the court ... understands the particular method by which the search is executed. ... Because of the advanced technology used the court does not have the benefit of such an understanding. The government argued that revealing the workings of the system might jeopardize national security and endanger FBI personnel and those working with them. Politan gave the government 10 days to provide additional evidence as to why revealing the technology would endanger ongoing investigations and later national security operations.

Will Wright Jr., 42, of Midfield does not deny assaulting the teen-ager, said defense lawyer Charles Salvagio. But Salvagio said Wright is innocent because side effects from the popular male impotence drug contributed to the rape. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Teresa Petelos ruled Friday that lawyers can't make claims that Viagra causes sexual aggression. She also barred them from even mentioning the drug. We don't have a defense, Salvagio said. It's hard to prepare a case when the defendant doesn't remember what happened. Wright is charged with first-degree rape and sodomy. He could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted. He has a previous sexual assault conviction from 1984. The question now is whether Wright should immediately appeal Petelos' ruling or appeal after the trial if he's convicted, said Wilson Myers, Wright's other lawyer. Viagra in some people causes aggression and amnesia. We don't think he is responsible for his actions, Myers said. Prosecutors argued there is no evidence to support the aggression claim. The judge agreed in a one-page ruling that says the defense failed to show that their claims are reliable and not pure conjecture. I'm glad this is over so we can focus on the real issue in this case, and that is the rape of this victim, Assistant District Attorney Jill Ganus said. Wright is charged with assaulting the teen-ager while holding a gun to her head on July 20, 2000. Green said prosecutors have been assisted by Viagra manufacturer Pfizer Inc., which rejects claims the medicine could influence Wright's actions. There is no medical or scientific evidence, none whatsoever, linking Viagra with aggressive or violent behavior, said Geoff Cook, a spokesman for the New York-based Pfizer. Studies in more than 3,600 patients support the conclusion that Viagra does not cause aggression. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-- Small business owners...

David Cogswell remembers Jim Hatfield. Information about the Haley Hatfield Trust. Dear Friends and Members of the Press, We have been reeling from the news since Friday. Jim Hatfield is gone. In a country where not enough reporters and talking heads have the courage to speak truth to power, Hatfield, the President's most controversial biographer, ended his own life in solitude in an Arkansas motel last week. I knew Jim. He could be tempestuous, moody and unpredictable. He was also intensely driven, articulate and full of Southern charm. When I spoke with his widow Nancy on Friday, we agreed, He was a good writer. He was a hell of a fighter and you wanted him on your side. Just last month we spent a weekend together in Chicago on the trade show floor of Book Expo America. He signed books, shook hands, worked the crowd, spoke out, strategized with me and revealed sources. We went non-stop together to promote his Bush biography Fortunate Son. He was fond of quoting Langston Hughes, I've been insulted, eliminated, locked in, locked out, and left holding the bag. But I am still here. Like Hughes, Hatfield will live on through his books. Jim's life will not be soon forgotten. The story of Fortunate Son is gravely important. Jim was on the verge of collapse due to financial difficulties, and part of this was due to the failure of this book. The American media followed the trail laid for them: the piercing inquiries into Bush's drug history were diverted into ironic stories about Jim Hatfield's own checkered past. After Hatfield was fed information and then discredited, he faced financial ruin and obscurity. He lost two other book contracts. His death was by his own hand but the causes go deeper. October of 1999 was glorious for him: he celebrated the initial publication of Fortunate Son and the birth of his daughter. But October was shattered by a book burning, a two-year long media carnival, and the character assassination of Jim Hatfield, an ex convict turned author who had paid his debt to society. Jim Hatfield's death is in part on the hands of an imperious American media establishment that reserves the softest touch money can buy for George W. Bush and all sons of privilege. Jim Hatfield, a working class journalist unannointed by the media elite, was viciously made into an example. He had a fearlessness that will be missed. -Soft Skull Press July 23, 2001 I went through a lot of old e-mail from Jim today. An epigraph he often used that caught my attention was from Langston Hughes. I've been insulted, eliminated, locked in, locked out, and left holding the bag. But I am still here. There is cruel irony in that statement now. Thinking a lot about Jim. Certainly he made some big mistakes that could be considered fatal errors in their totality. Someone called him reckless, and he did have that aspect to his personality. People talk about Clinton having a character flaw, and it rings with some truth. Bush is so flawed it was hard for me to find anything good about him, but Jim did that. Reading Jim's book was the only time in my life I ever felt sympathy for the Bushes. For always and ever he deserves credit for that. Since all the media coverage about Fortunate Son focused on Bush's alleged cocaine bust in 1972, I was surprised when I read it to find that the book was not a slam. It was not mean-spirited or a witch hunt, as I was expecting. It was in fact a rather even-handed portrait that brought out the human aspects of its characters. I felt sympathy for the Bush family when George W.'s sister died. I was impressed that the kids he worked with when he did his community service loved him. His famous personality had never appealed

Guess we will have to just wait until those on the GREEN list are picked up and shoved into them. Then what good does it do to issue any warning ahead of time? Probably these very same people will still deny their existence by saying Well, you can't prove these are s just because the feds put me into one under legal court procedings, but for a different reason than what you say they are for.

It seems to be the only way that he could have been done away with without too much attention being drawn to all the deaths. Ruin his political career and make him a no show in the president's race. I'm no fan of Ted, but it sure seems to me that there is a lot fishy about the whole Chappaquiddick thing. On Tue, 10 July 2001, Nessie wrote: -Caveat Lector- From the transcript of the Fourth Reich in America conference, held in SF in '88, organized by yours truly and friends: Audience Member: Can you say just a few words about the Chappaquiddick incident? John Judge: Yes. Ted Kennedy was not in the car. Hard evidence clearly shows that the car went off the ramp at a tremendously high rate of speed. And the door on Kennedy's side was crushed shut. It was still locked. I don't think he'd bother to lock it on the way out under water. The window was still rolled up. He had no way to get out of the car. He had no wet clothes, in the hotel room. That was the testimony of the maid who cleaned up. He was seen on the island in a good mood that morning. I talked to people who said the place was crawling with Committee to Re-Elect the President people. Tom Valaszcwitz, in his testimony, said that he went up to the island several days before, with fake press credentials, to ask embarrassing questions of Ted. About what? Several days before? And he doesn't show up at any of the press conferences. In the Watergate testimony, there is reference to Operation Sand Wedge, and ten thousand dollars given to Valaszcwitz that summer, by Caulfield. And they never ask, What is Sand Wedge? I think it's putting the Oldsmobile in the sand. It was meant to take out Ted Kennedy's election chances. But I think they knew, that if they had yet another lone assassin, for the third Kennedy, that would be the end of the string, in terms of the public credibility. So instead they set him up, in, I think, a very clever way. They drugged him at the party. Slipped a mickey into the drink. He left with Mary Jo Koepechne. Now, they portray her as just this sort of little nobody, a secretary, who happened to be in the car, or maybe Ted was having an affair with her. She came from a group of political secretaries known as the Boiler Room Girls. Some of them are still in top positions in the media and other places. And they were traveling in the political circles, and working for different people. Mary Jo worked for Sen. George Smathers, Bebe Rebozo's financial and personal friend down there, who was actually an enemy of the Kennedy's. There was this famous scene where Smathers attempted to get John Kennedy to kill Castro, to continue the assassination attempts, and Kennedy broke a plate on the table at this dinner. It's kind of famous, it's in most of the Kennedy books, Thousand Days, and other places. And he said, We're not going to have any more of that talk. And, Smathers, you know, was certainly more in the Nixon camp, with Rebozo, and the filthy money, Dade county, Bob Maheu (who went out and got the Mafia assassins involved originally, that helped to kill Kennedy), and that crowd. So, she came from there, and the two secretaries who worked with her at the time, and she roomed with one of them, were also closely involved. Carol Tyler, who she roomed with, disappeared in a plane crash. She had been Bobby Baker's secretary. You remember this big scandal during the Johnson administration, about Bobby Baker and the wheeling and dealing? And Baker had been part of an international gambling ring, between Cuba and the United States, that was called the Syndicate. It wasn't the whole national crime syndicate, but it was a little Havana, Cuba bunch. Lansky's had ties with it, McClaney and others. People that had the arms at Lake Pontchartraine in New Orleans, Cubans that were tied with Oswald, people around the Kennedy assassination. In Torbitt's document, Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal, that group, Syndicate, is one of the 5 groups named, because it was the main one that funnelled money on Kennedy's head from the mob out of Florida and up through Chicago, and then into Dallas. And it's in Flammonde's book, Kennedy Conspiracy, and other places. So, the other secretary working with Mary Jo at the time, had been the personal secretary to Jack Ruby at the Carousel Club. And remember, Bobby Baker called his place in Ocean City the Carousel Club. His motel up there, you know. So, she didn't come from nowhere. She was also the last person to see the physical evidence in the Robert Kennedy file before it was locked up, down in Los Angeles. She knew quite a deal. I think she was brought out thinking that she was setting Ted up to be killed. And at the last moment they pulled the switch, dragged him, dead drunk, and drugged, back to the hotel room, put him to bed. Stabbed

BR BRSkimming off money that the CIA intended for use in Peru's anti-drug BRtrafficking efforts, Montesinos set up a major arms deal in the Middle East BRthat funnelled 10,000 AK47 rifles to left-wing FARC guerrillas in Colombia, BRthereby fomenting the very uprising that America has pledged $1.3bn to stamp BRout. BR BRFARC has transformed itself from a Marxist insurgency group trying to seize BRpower in Colombia into a quasi-drug cartel, making millions from the drug BRsmugglers who operate under their protection. BR BRBill Clinton's administration decided it was worth investing spectacular BRamounts of cash to help the Colombian government stamp out the guerrillas and BRthus leave the smugglers unprotected. BR BRAt first Vladimiro Montesinos looked as if he could be a significant asset in BRthe US fight against both Communism and the drugs trade. In the mid-1970s, BRwhile an officer in the Peruvian army, he came to the US to show the CIA BRevidence of Soviet arms deals with Peru. It was enough to get him on the BRagency's payroll. BR BRMontesinos rose to become spymaster for the controversial former president of BRPeru, Albert Fujimori, himself now being sought on suspicion of human rights BRviolations. BR BRThroughout the 1990s the flow of money became a torrent, the stated intention BRbeing to help Peru fight the trans-Andean drug trade. BR BRBut after years of little or no oversight over how the cash was spent, BRMontesinos started turning the money to his own ends. He was, according to BRprosecutors, also guilty of flagrant human rights violations against BRpolitical opponents, including murder. BR BRThe CIA was well aware of his actions but did little to rein Montesinos in. BRBut the CIA had not banked on Montesinos' double-dealing. According to BRPeruvian prosecutors he was also taking protection money from drug BRtraffickers, which joined a stream of corrupt cash that amassed him a fortune BRclose to $264m. BR BRThe CIA decided to call a halt when the FARC arms deal demonstrated BRconclusively that he had gone too far.

A product is a product, they say, and competition always works better than state control. I believe in that premise as a matter of religious faith, said Philip J. Romero, dean of the business school at the University of Oregon and one of the architects of California's deregulation plan. --New York Times, February 4, 2001 Time was, the only place a guy could expound the mumbo jumbo of the free market was in the country club locker room or the pages of Reader's Digest. Spout off about it anywhere else and you'd be taken for a Bircher or some new strain of Jehovah's Witness. After all, in the America of 1968, when the great backlash began, the average citizen, whether housewife or hardhat or salary-man, still had an all-too-vivid recollection of the Depression. Not to mention a fairly clear understanding of what social class was all about. Pushing laissez-faire ideology back then had all the prestige and credibility of hosting a Tupperware party. But thirty-odd years of culture war have changed all that. Mention elites these days and nobody thinks of factory owners or gated-community dwellers. Instead they assume that what you're mad as hell about is the liberal media, or the pro-criminal judiciary, or the tenured radicals, or the know-it-all bureaucrats. For the guys down at the country club all these inverted forms of class war worked spectacularly well. This is not to say that the right-wing culture warriors ever outsmarted the liberal college professors or shut down the Hollywood studios or repealed rock 'n' roll. Shout though they might, they never quite got cultural history to stop. But what they did win was far more important: political power, a free hand to turn back the clock on such non-glamorous issues as welfare, taxes, OSHA, even the bankruptcy laws, for chrissake. Assuring their millionaire clients that culture war got the deregulatory job done, they simply averted their eyes as bizarre backlash variants flowered in the burned-over districts of conservatism: Posses Comitatus, backyard Confederacies mounting mini-secessions, crusades against Darwin. For most of the duration of the thirty-year backlash, the free-market faiths of the economists and the bosses were kept discreetly in the background. To be sure, market worship was always the established church in the halls of Republican power, but in public the chant was usually States' Rights, or Down with Big Gummint, or Watch out for Commies, or Speak English Goddammit. All Power to the Markets has never been too persuasive as a rallying cry. So confidently did the right proceed from triumph to triumph, though, that eventually they forgot this. Inspired by a generous bull market and puffed up by a sense of historical righteousness so cocksure that it might have been lifted from The God That Failed, that old book in which ex-Communists disavowed their former convictions, the right evidently decided in the Nineties that the time had come to tell the world about the wonders of the market. Dinesh D'Souza, pedagogical product of the Jesuits, these days can be found swinging the censer for Mammon and thrilling to the mayhem his ruthless god of the market visits on the undeserving poor. George Gilder, erstwhile elder of the Christian right, is now the Thirty-Third Degree Poobah in the Temple of Telecosm, where he channels the libertarian commandments of his digital Juggernaut in the language of the angels. A host of awesome myths attest to the power of this new god. Markets must rule, some right-wing prophets tell us, because of globalization, because the moral weight of the entire world somehow demands it. Others bear tidings of a New Economy, a spontaneous recombination of the DNA of social life according to which, again, markets simply must rule. The papers fill with rapturous talk of historical corners turned, of old structures abandoned, of endless booms and weightless work. The new god makes great demands on us, and its demands must be appeased. None can be shielded from its will. The welfare of AFDC mothers must be entrusted unhesitatingly to its mercies.
Re: [CTRL] DynCorp's Drug Problem
-Caveat Lector- No doubt true in all the details but interestingly this document comes out now. It seems that someone is going to be thrown to the wolves and could it be DynCorp? Certainly NOT the real money makers in the drug war US government and old money in this country.

A key part of the US's $1.3 billion BRcontribution to Plan Colombia--the scheme that will supposedly expedite the BRend of Colombia's civil war--calls for the use of private contractors (as BRopposed to actual US military assets) to fly airborne missions against both BRthe fields that grow coca and poppy and the labs that process them. While BRsome contractors, like Aviation Development Corporation of Montgomery, BRAlabama, fly surveillance missions for the CIA, those that fly on retainer BRfor other US government agencies are a bit more expansive in their missions. BR BRConsulting giant DynCorp's private pilots in the Andes fly everything from BRfixed-wing fumigation runs to helicopter-borne interdiction missions ferrying BRtroops into hot spots. If you take DynCorp's word for it, any notion of the BRorganization's being involved in drug trafficking is ludicrous. Whether or BRnot you believe this, we are a very ethical company, said a senior DynCorp BRofficial, who insisted on being quoted off the record. We take steps to make BRsure the people we hire are ethical. BR BRYet the existence of a document that The Nation recently obtained (under the BRFreedom of Information Act) from the Drug Enforcement BRAdministration--combined with the unwillingness of virtually any US or BRColombian government agency to elaborate on the document--has some in BRWashington and elsewhere wondering if, like virtually every other entity BRcharged with fighting the drug war, DynCorp might have a bad apple or two in BRits barrel. According to a monthly DEA intelligence report from last year, BRofficers of Colombia's National Police force intercepted and opened, on May BR12, 2000, a US-bound Federal Express package at Bogota's El Dorado BRInternational Airport. The parcel contained two (2) small bottles of a thick BRliquid that had the same consistency as motor oil. The communiqué goes on BRto report that the liquid substance tested positive for heroin and that the BRalleged heroin laced liquid weighed approximately 250 grams. (Freebase BRheroin, it bears noting, is soluble in motor oil, and can therefore be BRextracted without much trouble.) BR BRBut perhaps the most intriguing piece of information in the DEA document is BRthe individual to whom it reports that the package belonged: an unnamed BRemployee of DynCorp, who was sending the parcel to the company's Andean BRoperations headquarters at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. More interesting BRstill is the reluctance of DynCorp and the government to provide substantial BRdetails in support of their contention that this situation isn't really what BRit seems. BR BRAccording to DynCorp spokeswoman Janet Wineriter,the viscous liquid that the BRColombians tested was not, in fact, laced with heroin; it was simply oil BRsamples of major aircraft components that DynCorp technicians are required BRto take and send to the US on a periodic basis. Explaining that the drug BRtest was conducted with apparently faulty equipment that produced an BRincorrect reading, Wineriter could not specify what testing procedures or BRequipment were used. She identified her source for the explanation as BRCharlene A. Wheeless, DynCorp's Vice President for Corporate Communications. BR BRUnable to cite any source other than Wheeless (I'm assuming when someone BRpasses along this information that it's accurate), Wineriter told The Nation BRto call the Colombian National Police and the State Department for further BRdetails. The State Department liaison with DynCorp did not return phone BRcalls, and when the Colombian National Police in Bogota were contacted, an BRofficial informed The Nation that the CNP would not comment on the matter, BRreferring all queries to the DEA. A DEA spokesman in Washington said the BRmatter was not a DEA case, and referred calls to the US Embassy in Bogota. BR BRIt took six days for the embassy to produce a terse, 143-word response to The BRNation's queries--a response that echoed, but did not mirror, DynCorp's BRaccount.

BR BRThe papers show that had it not been for the intervention of an officer of BRthe Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, - who believed the evidence against him BRwas provided by an agent provocateur - the leading revolutionary might have BRhad no place in history. BR BRPapers made available at the Public Record Office show how MI5, and the BRFrench and Spanish security services, monitored Trotsky's movement in the BRmonths leading to the revolution in February 1917 which overthrew the Tsarist BRregime. BR BRThe previous autumn Trotsky was expelled from France after his Paris paper, BRNashe Slovo (Our Word) was suppressed on the grounds it was subversive and BRanti-war. He set off for Madrid, surrounded by spies who, he noted, BRregarded him as as a dangerous terrorist agitator. BR BRIn Madrid he was immediately arrested, jailed, and taken to Cadiz where he BRwas told he was going to be put on a boat to Havana. But after angry BRprotests, Trotsky was allowed to remain a few more days and sail, instead, to BRNew York. BR BRTrotsky explained his predic-ament in a postcard to a Russian contact in BRLondon, Georgy Tchitchrine. Dear Comrade, he wrote, I press your hand BRwarmly... I hope that we may meet once again in the ranks of fighters for the BRcommon cause. Yours, Trotsky. BR BRThe card never reached its destination.. It was intercepted by MI5. BR BRMI5 continued to monitor Trotsky's activities. In a telegram from New York to BRLondon, dated March 22, 1917, an MI5 agent warned: An important movement has BRbeen started here among Socialists, with a view to getting back Revolutionary BRSocialists into Russia ... with [the] object of establishing a Republic and BRinitiating Peace movement; also of promoting Socialistic Revolutions in other BRcountries, including the United States. BR BRThe main leader, the tele-gram noted, is Trotsky, who was planning to BRleave the US for Russia. A few days later, the MI5 agent dispatched a BRmess-age to London saying Trotsky had set sail with $10,000 subscribed by BRSocialists and Germans on the way to Petrograd, now St Petersburg. BR BRThe agent ordered the ship to be detained when it stopped at Halifax in BRCanada. Trotsky was arrested with five Russian comrades. There he could have BRremained, had it not been for the intervention of the Secret Intelligence BRService, MI6. BR BRClaude Dansey, an MI6 officer, had also just landed at Halifax. I told BRCaptain Malkins, the Naval Control Officer, that I believed the new Russian BRgovernment would at once ask for Trotsky's release, and that we should be BRunable to hold him, and that, unless they were very certain of the source of BRinformation against him it would be much better to let him go before he got BRangry, he noted. BR BRDansey was told by the MI6 station chief in New York, William Wiseman, that BRthe information against Trotsky had come from a Russian agent in whom he had BRgreat confidence. BR BRHowever, Dansey reported: I then asked him a few questions about the man, BRand from what I gathered, there is a strong possibility that he was an agent BRprovocateur, used by the old Russian Secret Police. I told Wiseman he had BRbetter be discharged at once, and he said that he was going to do so.

(July 5, 2001 1:01 p.m. EDT) - The man accused of killing three people and wounding four in a rampage through an RV park warned a friend he planned to shoot some people and then himself, according to the friend, who says he dismissed it as a joke. Hours before the shooting Tuesday night, Mike Stagner, 42, made the threat casually to bartender Ted Diaz Jr. at The Sports Corner bar. Diaz said he had known Stagner to make suicidal threats. I blew it off, he told the Rocky Mountain News. He was always either going to jump off a bridge or shoot himself, but this morning I was shocked when I found out it was him. Stagner, who has a long criminal record, was arrested Tuesday night and held on three counts of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted first-degree murder. Police were investigating whether the shootings were race-related. Stagner is white and the victims were believed to be Latino. Earlier Tuesday, Stagner had been ranting about hellfire and damnation at a liquor store near the scene of the shootings, said owner Linda Trujillo. She said Stagner bought a mini-bottle of whiskey and a Gatorade but she ran him off when he started yelling at passers-by. The Denver Post, citing an unidentified source, reported that Stagner had recently been treated for schizophrenia and may have stopped taking his medication. The rampage began when Juan Hernandez-Carillo was shot and killed as he talked on a pay phone outside City Market. Police said Stagner then walked across the parking lot toward the trailer park, shooting a 19-year-old Mexican immigrant, identified by witnesses as Anjelica Toscono. Toscono was in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head. When Stagner reached the trailer park, he fatally shot two men sitting outside a small mobile home and drinking beer, authorities said. Their names were not immediately released. The gunman walked all the way through the trailer park before shooting and wounding three more men, two in their car and one outside his home, investigators said. Stagner then walked back out through the park, stopping only to reload, police said. As residents fled, Stagner crossed back to the supermarket parking lot, where police arrested him, city manager Selby Myers said. Members of Hernandez-Carillo's family said he had come to Rifle from Mexico and had been working for a plant nursery. Relatives said they were trying to get enough money to send his body back to Mexico to be buried. He was everybody's friend, daughter Maria Dolores Hernandez said. His brother, Guadalupe Hernandez, said he didn't think the shootings were racially motivated. I think he's crazy, he said. Over the last 20 years, Stagner has been arrested on numerous charges including burglary, assault, drug possession and drunken driving. MARtin F.

Incidentally, if hardy life, capable of withstanding the rigors of space or hostile environments IS found there would it not be a vindication of HPL and the weird tales he wrote so well? I find so much of past horror and SF are quite prescient about coming future events and am amazed that so much that has been written about has turned out to be true. I have a theory about that, in which the avant garde writers, poets, artists, etc. are manipulated at times to write of things in order to prepare the communal psyche for the eventual discovery of unusual and/or unnatural things. I have no proof of such a manipulation nor of who or what is doing the manipulation but it is interesting speculation in light of the phenomenon. Perhaps something on the order of PK Dick's orbitting artificial intelligence system, or J Vallee's theory of a cybernetic control system which exerts its influence subtley into the mainstream culture and communal thought. Just idle speculation. But interesting.

Re: [CTRL] How Ignorant are Scientists
-Caveat Lector- The short answer is that they are ignorant and very when they deliberately do not look at evidence and cover up or ridicule theories proposed that do not fit into their well established theories (read: FACTS).

Einstein's fixed C and no ether also hit the skids in 1920 with Olbers paradox - has anybody ever heard of it - if not - why not - it suggests that its a paradox that the sky isn't white at night - because all the photons in the cosmos should have been here by now - but something - some paradox has held them up [not ether say the ignorant scientists] but something - its a paradox - blah blah By the rules of the scientific game written by karl Popper in his Conjectures and Refutations he suggests that if a theory is not falsifiable it is redundant - that it is not rational to keeep going back to and remodifying a theroy - it should be discarded - but ignorant 'scientists' keep doing that with the Big bang - even though there is a ribbon of galaxies called the great wall with matter far older than the big bang theory allows for - another lemon that should be trashed. Schifflers Horns is a paradox in mathematical topology - in this LINEAR cosmos it keeps showing up fractal. Well Schifflers horns is the mathematical PROOF that the Universe is a chaos event and non-linear. And superstring theory and all the spin off garbage - have you ever in your life heard of a more bizarre pile of crap ?? its another example of the constant modification of a theory that should have been scrapped decades ago. Everytime the 'scientists' hit a snag - they just add in another mathematical dimension and another layer of absurd abstraction. It goes completely against the cornertsone rationality of popper and the simple is best Occams Razor. I'm NOT saying that the empirical DATA on physics is bad - just the MODEL of superstrings that it is deployed on is Crass. and we look at all the 'scientists' working for the military industrial complex - and some people feel superior over the laymen ??? scientists with worthless doctorates in physics and a washed out paradigm FULL of PARADOXES and un-unified Physics - and these 'scientists' advise governments that there is No Global Warming [thatcher/carbon tax], that it is ok to lower the pasteurisation temperatures of meat processing to make the processes yield more profit. that microwaves and radioactivity do not build up damage - that food stuffs containing harmful chemicals are ok and those 'scientists' feel superior ?? what a laugh no the common man doesn't have a professorship in STUPIDITY he does have COMMON SENSE - and he/she knows that 'Science' is desperately trying to paper over the Cracks ... but its more obvious than that - the greatest scientific achievement in recent years was not some brilliant flawed genius like einstein or tesla or kelvin with sweeping new paradigms - it was rows and rows of big big machines doing the sorting for the human genome project - if you can give the monkeys enough typewriters - they will get their Nobel. andrew hennessey A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Bush's Opium Bender
-Caveat Lector- Probably the real truth of this is that there is a lot of money to be made by stateside people in the the trafficking of drugs and that money is being threatened. It is a real catch 22. On Tue, 26 June 2001, Yardbird wrote: -Caveat Lector- Taliban Twists Shrub With Poppy Politics Bush's Opium Bender http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0125/ridgeway.shtml In its dealings with Afghanistan, the Bush administration has inherited a real catch-22. On the one hand, the White House needs to get rid of the terrorist Osama bin Laden, who is sheltered by the ruling Taliban. On the other, it wants to continue the global war on drugs--a campaign in which the internationally shunned Islamic extremists have become an unexpected ally, slapping a ban on growing the poppies that provided 75 percent of the world's opium supply. Now Bush is in the ungainly position of favoring the Northern Alliance, a Russian-backed resistance group that funds its efforts in part by trafficking in narcotics. ''The basic problem is that the U.S. so far has failed disastrously in Afghanistan, and for a decade has had no policy toward Afghanistan other than bin Laden,'' says S. Frederick Starr, chair of the Central Asia--Caucasus Institute at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. ''It is legal under U.S.-led UN sanctions to send arms to the Northern Alliance, which is actively exporting drugs, but illegal to send arms to the Taliban, which has stopped drug production.'' In eradicating poppies, Afghanistan shut down a market with a total production value of $100 billion. The Taliban received relatively little of that money, with annual revenues during the 1990s of $10 million to $75 million, but farmers could still bank on a crop worth five times as much as conventional rice or wheat. Starr argues that if the UN fails to loosen the strictures against Afghanistan, the Taliban may let farmers plant poppies again rather than allow other countries like Pakistan and Myanmar to jump in. The Taliban has no standing with the UN, which has given Afghanistan's seat to the Northern Alliance. So far, the Taliban leaders' biggest role in the world economy has been supplying the raw material for drugs. ''And without Western, U.S., and UN leadership,'' Starr says, ''it will not change.'' Afghanistan's poppy growers are having an especially rough time of it because a drought is compounding the difficulty of switching to other crops. This year, the U.S. allocated $120 million in aid to Afghanistan, including $43 million in food aid during the month of May. Assisting the Afghan people, says Charles Fairbanks, a former deputy assistant secretary of state under Bush and Reagan who now teaches at Johns Hopkins, is the only moral choice. The U.S. helped create the mess there when it sided against Russian invaders in the 1980s, giving the impression we'd be around to help with the consequences, too. Aid now ''is a matter of honor,'' Fairbanks says. ''They fought on the American side and the side of the administration in the last battle of the Cold War, and we just abandoned them. There is something not right about that.'' A HREF=http://www.ctrl.org/;www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

The BRCIA theorized that it was being fought by opposing ideological factions, each BRone amounting to about five percent of the total population, while the BRremaining ninety percent was uncommitted and wanted the war to go away. BR BRAccording to the CIA's mythology, on one side were communist insurgents, BRsupported by comrades in Hanoi, Moscow and Peking. The communists fought for BRland reform, to rid Vietnam of foreign intervention, and to unite the north BRand south. The other faction was composed of capitalists, often Catholics BRrelocated from North Vietnam in 1954 by the CIA. This faction was fighting to BRkeep South Vietnam an independent nation, operating under the direction of BRquiet Americans. BR BRCaught in the crossfire was the silent majority. The object shared by both BRfactions was to win these undecided voters over to its side. BR BRContre Coup was the CIA's response to the realization that the Communists BRwere winning the war for the hearts and minds of the people. It also was a BRresponse to the belief that they were winning through the use of BRpsychological warfare, specifically, selective terror the murder and BRmutilation of specific government officials. BR BRIn December 1963, Peer DeSilva arrived in Saigon as the CIA's station chief. BRHe claims to have been shocked by what he saw. In his autobiography, SubRosa, BRDeSilva describes how the VC had impaled a young boy, a village chief, and BRhis pregnant wife on sharp poles. To make sure this horrible sight would BRremain with the villagers, one of the terror squad used his machete to BRdisembowel the woman, spilling he fetus onto the ground. BR BRThe Vietcong, DeSilva said, were monstrous in the application of torture BRand murder to achieve the political and psychological impact they wanted.

Before the age of seven, the sisters say, they were inducted into a covert, government-authorized, mind-control program designed to spawn spies and assassins. During weekends and summers, they were subjected to traumatizing experiments. Cheryl tells of her days as a caged lab rat, released to navigate electrified mazes. The two became psychological captives, programmed to respond to code words. Following practice in weaponry, martial arts and flight training, altered identities were purportedly introduced. At 15, Lynn was made part of a unit that experienced murder, and she assumed the identity of team leader Lt. Rick Shaw. As the seductive Samantha Gooding, Cheryl would paralyze her victims, and she later became the cocky chopper pilot Sgt. Thomas O'Neil. Naturally, these two men, long separated, were destined to meet: Cheryl Hersha! It's me, Lynn, your sister. You've got to let me go. You can't shoot me.

BR BRUntil last week, the only confirmed cases of BSE were in Western Europe, BRwhere outbreaks, primarily in the United Kingdom, have devastated the BRagricultural sector. BR BREuropean beef exporters will continue to suffer from falling exports and BRglobal bans on their beef as well as faltering domestic consumption, which is BRdown by 25 percent this year. BR BRIn April, scientists advised the European Commission that several Eastern BREuropean countries were at risk of BSE contamination. These Category III BRcountries, so designated to reflect high BSE risks but no confirmed cases, BRhad imported significant amounts of live cattle and meat-and-bonemeal from BREuropean Union countries with confirmed BSE cases. BR BRCategory III countries included the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as BRAlbania, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Switzerland.

BR BRGiven the disease's unpredictability and four- to five-year incubation BRperiod, the risks of BSE popping up elsewhere in the region are considerable.

News Journal Los Angeles, California June 20, 2001 The Rising Police State Former Cop - Law Enforcement Is The Police State's Servant From J.D. Tuccille c. 2001 About.com 6-15-1 Several months ago, I penned a column called Cops who say 'no' that turned out to be one of the more thoroughly hashed-over pieces that I've churned out. As happens when I have lots of white space to fill, I waxed philosophic and evoked my inner literary self even quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson on the way to making a simple point. I suggested that in an age of proliferating laws that micromanage our lives and that involve ever-scarier law-enforcement powers, police officers have an obligation to consider the morality of the laws they enforce, and to refuse to enforce laws that have no business on the books. It's nice to be noticed, and my e-mail soon demonstrated that people have been paying attention. Messages pro and con streamed in, with a preponderance of readers saying that they agreed with the point I was making. Dissenters tended to use stronger language, leaving me only one possible response: My mother is not! - or not so that you can prove, anyway. Among the more interesting messages was a note from a retired police officer (I've checked his credentials) who served with a major urban-area law-enforcement agency, and so has more first-hand familiarity with modern policing than I hope to ever have. This former officer, who asked me not to use his name so that he gets no more grief at reunion picnics than necessary, suggested that my heart might be in the right place, but I just don't understand the depths of the problem. Rather than paraphrase what the one-time police officer said so well, I reproduce his note below... ___ I was a police officer for many years and am now retired. It is apparent to me that you suffer a few misunderstandings of the police officer's job. However, that is not to say that you aren't right. There are many laws that are stupid, wrong, unconstitutional, feel-good (hate crimes come to mind) and silly. Each police officer is given discretionary decision-making power. That means that barring the commission of six particular crimes (Burglary, Arson, Rape, Robbery, Murder and Mayhem) a police officer may decide for him or herself whether to arrest, report, release in the field, or simply to do nothing. For decades, I nullified bad laws (e.g., concealed carry of a weapon by honest citizens, gambling and prostitution) and so did many other officers. We did it because we had the power to and it was the right thing to do. Before you suggest how to correct modern day law enforcement, I suggest you first review the reason modern local law enforcement is becoming the police state's handmaiden. It is simple: Federal influence. Since the Nixon / Mitchell Administration, federal funds, training, hiring standards and procedures have penetrated into local law enforcement in an insidious manner. Training is of the siege mentality type, fear is inculcated in training, and the belief that no one needs a firearm but the police is encouraged and fostered. Waco was made possible by a perjured affidavit swearing that a drug lab was on the premises. They lied and got the army to help under Titles 26 and 32, USC. These are the same people who have been training local law enforcement for decades. Until we can remove the federal influence in local law enforcement, it will just get worse. Hell, it may not even be reversible. I respect your intentions, but there is a hell of a lot you don't know about how bad it has gotten in local law enforcement. Many of these kids have never read the Constitution, nor have they been required to. They also have a natural antipathy towards armed citizens as a result of brainwashing in primary and secondary school. Many are also unrestrained and unfamiliar with self-discipline. This can be fatal if not harmful to an innocent who is doing nothing more than lawfully owning a firearm. The job is one of the safest there is statistically, and I am sick of police administrators, in their effort to build empire, lying about being outgunned. They pander

Re: [CTRL] The Truth About Black Slavery And The Confederate Flag (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- I think the pendulum of talk about slavery swings to easily back and forth between black and non-black races. It would be better perhaps to focus on the institution itself, whereas it is the exploitation of people and the denial of human rights and values. Who is being enslaved is secondary to the issue of slavery and arguing over the extent of black (African) slavery as compared to other races is counterproductive to the essential inhumanity of the act, no matter the races involved.

Re: [CTRL] US 'planned nuclear first strike on Russia'
-Caveat Lector- The only really surprising thing about this is that it never happened. It seems that there were ultimatley other plans for the Soviet Union than were originally intended, also could it have been a ploy to force NATO down the throats of countries reluctant to side with the US? On Mon, 18 June 2001, Nurev Ind. wrote: -Caveat Lector- The Daily Telegraph (UK) June 15, 2001 US 'planned nuclear first strike on Russia' By Michael Smith BRITISH intelligence warned in 1951 that the Americans were planning to wage a preventative atomic war on the Russians the next year with or without the support of their Nato allies. The Director of Naval Intelligence said the United States military was convinced that all-out war against the Soviet Union was not only inevitable but imminent. Vice-Admiral Eric Longley-Cook went on to say that the Americans had, accordingly, gone ahead to prepare for an inevitable clash of arms with the Soviet Union, 'fixed' for mid or late 1952. Details of the report, and the British concerns that their ally was about to provoke a third world war, are contained in a new book by Richard J Aldrich, Professor of Politics at Nottingham University. The Hidden Hand says Longley-Cook's report, so secret that only six copies were produced, was the culmination of two years of tension in which the Russians had exploded their first atomic bomb, four years before the earliest Nato intelligence prediction. During that period, a succession of senior British officers had returned from visits to America expressing alarm over the apparent conviction among their United States counterparts that they should attack Russia. Longley-Cook said that the Russians were far too cautious to start a war themselves. The main threat to strategic stability and the security of Britain appeared to come from the United States where McCarthyism was in full flow. Many people in America have made up their minds that war with Russia is inevitable and there is a strong tendency in military circles to 'fix' the zero date for war, he said. It is doubtful whether, in a year's time, the US will be able to control the Frankenstein monster which they are creating. There is a definite risk of the USA becoming involved in a preventative war against Russia, however firmly their Nato allies object. It was not just the view of senior United States generals and intelligence officers, who seemed unwilling to endorse a threat assessment based on factual intelligence rather than their own prejudices. Many ordinary Americans shared their opinions. There was an apocalyptic view among the inhabitants of major American cities, who visualise in their own concentrated home town the ruins of Hamburg and Berlin, Longley-Cook said. These and other Americans say, 'We have the bomb, let's use it now while the balance is in our favour. Since war with Russia is inevitable, let's get it over with now'. Some talk of an 'ultimatum from strength', but many more believe in the necessity for 'smashing the Russians' at the earliest possible moment. There was certainly evidence to support the British assessment. One US general had said that the West could not afford to wait until Europe or even America was devastated by a nuclear holocaust. We can afford, however, to create a wilderness in Russia without serious repercussion on Western civilisation. We have a moral obligation to stop Russia's aggression by force, if necessary, rather than face the consequences of delay. Another US general said that his country was already at war with Russia. Whether we call it a Cold War or apply any other term we are not winning. It seems to me that almost any analysis of the situation shows that the only way that we can be certain of winning is to take the offensive as soon as possible and hit Russia hard enough to at least prevent her from taking over Europe. If we plan and execute the operation properly, the weight of our attack in the early stages may be sufficient to compel Russia to accept our terms for a real peace. It will not be a preventative war, because we are already at war. Most copies of Longley-Cook's report were ordered to be destroyed once read but one was passed to Winston Churchill after he returned to power in late 1951. He was initially highly dismissive, even suggesting that Longley-Cook must be a communist and ordering that a sharp eye should be kept on the writer. But in April 1952, after returning from Washington having failed to obtain a veto on US strikes from British bases, he had changed his mind. He told his private secretary: I want to see the secret report prepared by the late Director of Naval Intelligence and sent to me by the First Lord when I was in America. Let me have it back again.

Re: [CTRL] America declares 'war' on America
-Caveat Lector- This is certainly a good polemic against the Idea of a war on drugs or anything else for that matter. It puts me in mind of everyone patriotically doing their duty to save the country from the scourge. It is wrong and always has been. The rhetoric is certainly heating up lately, one can only hope that some sanity is brought to the issue and the use of drugs is legalized, and soon, and all the money used in the needless war could be put to far better uses. On Mon, 18 June 2001, Bill Richer wrote: -Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! America declares 'war' on America -- -- © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com It's funny that a nation, rooted in the revolutionary oratory of men like Patrick Henry and the pamphletry of Thomas Paine, the fiery rhetoric of Samuel Adams and the sermonizing from the pens and pulpits of men like the Revs. Jacob Cushing and Moses Mather, would have such a hang-up with language. America was forged in the smithy of the spoken word and printed page. The founders regularly met in pubs and inns both before the War for Independence, to hash out justification and agreement for secession from England, and after, to begin the arduous task of making a government. Adams' Committees on Correspondence kept revolutionary ideas in circulation, while incendiary tracts by the likes of Paine and others gave backbone and resolve to the colonials. After Britain's bonds were shaken off, the founders turned attentions to carefully crafting the Articles of Confederation, first, and finally the Constitution of the United States. Polemics pro and con shot back and forth, detailing every benefit, downside, blessing and danger inherent to the proposed central government; these debates are preserved for us in part in collections such as the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers. Language was so important to Noah Webster that he composed his dictionary specifically to distinguish Americans' use of English from the British. It was obviously important to many others, as well, since it sold like crazy. Take a thumb through the Declaration of Independence, Paine's Common Sense, or John Adams' A Defense of the American Constitutions. Americans find their freedom in a mountain of words. It is strange, and all the more tragic, then, that a nation set free by a million speeches is now being re-enslaved by just one syllable. Whether the citizens of the United States know it or not, liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights are being shackled by a metaphor, bound and gagged by three little letters: War. Not war against a foreign government; not war against a nation that would threaten our people, our soil, our lives and livelihoods. Those sorts of wars, while tragic, are vital to the preservation of liberty. To save our properties, persons and liberties from plunder, sometimes brutal and violent force must be used to grisly and ghastly ends against the gangster armies of foreign powers. Such is the price of freedom. That is, however, not the sort of war I'm talking about. In order to capitalize on the unifying spirit and goodwill engendered by that righteous sort of entanglement, American politicians have, since President Lyndon Johnson, used the word war to gain a backing for their political programs and social schemes. Johnson kicked off the scam with his War on Poverty. President Nixon, facing Johnson's successor in a battle for the nation's biggest bully pulpit, conjured up the same rhetoric â#8364; only Tricky Dick directed the guns of political rhetoric toward narcotics, officially launching America's War on Drugs. Both of these schemes fail any real-world definition of war. The enemy is less than clear, the battlefield is even less obvious and the rules of engagement are fungible and at odds with our founding spirit and written Constitution. Take just the drug war. In a war, there's no such thing as due process before depriving a man of life, liberty or property â#8364; as required by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Which is more than understandable. It's a war, after all. Hardly any time to go requesting warrants and worrying about protecting the liberties of your opponents. The goal of war is to win, and recalling the wisdom of Gen. George Patton, you don't win a war by dying for your country; you make the other poor, dumb bastard (I think those were his words) die for his. Most any tactic in war is excused and commended provided it results in victory. As such, enemies have little in the way of rights, and if they are the aggressor nation, they've ceded whatever rights they might have had. The bully who starts a fight should not be surprised if his cry of uncle is met with a few more fists to the teeth and boots to the kidneys.
Re: [CTRL] Patients fighting HMOs' denial of claims, and many are winning
-Caveat Lector- There is a definite conflict of interest in these cases as there are in pharmaceutical companies payments to physicians that should be put a stop to. Basing care on what is medically necessary as determined by physicians who are unencumbered by economic ties and incentives should be the only way to go, never should it be based on economic means when someone's health is at stake. It surprises me that people don't see the obvious conflict this creates. On Mon, 18 June 2001, Bill Richer wrote: -Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Patients fighting HMOs' denial of claims, and many are winning MICHELE CHANDLER [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dawn Ripley never had a problem with her health insurance plan -- until her daughter, Anna, came along last year. ``I noticed her head seemed misshapened, it seemed like she had more face on one side than the other,'' said Ripley, who lives in Weston. After several months of therapy, a physician determined that the infant's condition could be corrected with a special $3,000 helmet. Ripley's insurance company denied the request, deeming Anna's condition cosmetic, not medical. She paid out of pocket for the device. But Ripley also began a fight to the finish with her insurer -- which ultimately paid. Amid a national debate over patients' rights and growing frustration with managed care -- eight of every 10 Florida residents are in those plans -- thousands of Floridians each year are challenging the decisions of their HMOs, and many are winning. Statewide figures are not available, but at one healthcare insurer -- Health Options, one of the state's largest -- 4,981 Florida patients lodged complaints last year, and 675 entered the plan's formal grievance process. A patients' bill of rights that will be debated in Congress this week would give HMO members new rights to sue if they are denied needed care. The two proposals the Senate will debate differ mainly over how patients can sue managed-care companies and whether the companies' liability should be limited. But in many cases, there are existing alternatives. By state law, consumers at odds with an HMO's decision are entitled to appeal through their health plan's grievance process -- and thousands do just that every year. If the decision still doesn't go the patient's way, the consumer can take the case to the Statewide Provider and Subscriber Assistance Program, a state government-run panel of state officials, physicians and consumers that will make a binding decision. Overall, 21 percent of the 177 cases taken to the panel last year were decided in favor of patients, according to the Agency for Health Care Administration, which runs the program. An additional 29 percent of the cases were settled in favor of the consumer before the panel's review. The top disputes: repayment for emergency care, treatment by non-network medical providers, and clashes over benefits and what should be deemed medical necessities. Among the cases overturned by the state panel: It ordered an HMO to cover surgery needed by a patient who received facial injuries while cleaning his shotgun. The HMO had said it would not cover some of the surgery on the grounds that it was cosmetic; the HMO's doctors insisted the surgery was needed to restore function. Although Ripley's case was resolved without going before the state panel, Ripley's health plan also initially deemed Anna's condition cosmetic and would not pay for the head brace to correct it. That prompted Ripley to embark on a mission to prove that the device was a medically necessary treatment. She linked up with an Internet support group -- www.caps2000.org -- for families of children with the same problem. At night, she scoured medical encyclopedias online. She contacted the manufacturer of the head brace, who told her that her insurance company and others had paid for the device. She wrote to her elected officials. She got letters of support from the child's doctors. The health plan, which was offered by her husband John's employer, turned her down. She appealed a second time, as the health plan's grievance procedure allowed. And she contacted her husband's employer, United Parcel Service, hoping the company would help with her appeal. After several months, she won the appeal -- with the health plan agreeing the device was medically necessary. Payment for the device was approved a few weeks later and the Ripleys were reimbursed. The lesson? Persistence can pay off. ``That's how hard you have to fight them,'' Ripley said. ``Don't quit. Keep going.'' Beth Gabrini, an information specialist with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs' program known as SHINE, or Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Elders, said some denials stem from a simple error -- an improper billing code entered by a medical provider.

Armey takes on traffic-surveillance cameras Lawmaker says cities have shortened yellow lights to raise revenue -- -- Editor's note: In collaboration with the hard-hitting Washington, D.C., newsweekly Human Events, WorldNetDaily brings you this special report every Monday. Readers can subscribe to Human Events through WND's online store. By Joseph A. D'Agostino © 2001 Human Events House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, is crusading against the red-light cameras that have sprouted up at intersections around the country, saying that they violate constitutional principles and that localities have deliberately shortened yellow-light intervals in order to raise revenue. Traffic will be safer, said Armey, when local governments increase yellow intervals and stop trying to trap motorists in petty red-light violations. We are responsible for protecting people's constitutional rights, Armey told Human Events. We believe that this is an intrusion against people's constitutional rights. We have the state legislature in New Jersey that agrees with us, said Armey, and we have the Supreme Court in Alaska that agrees with us. We ought to hold some hearings on this. No committee has yet committed to holding hearings on Armey's proposal. There's been an evolution of the federal standards and recommendations that has moved us away from the time-honored and effective business of using the length of the yellow light to ensure safety at intersections, Armey said. We believe that they have consciously done just the opposite of good yellow-light policy to increase the stream of revenue. They have not demonstrated any improvement in public well-being because of these cameras, Armey added. The House Republican leader said he does not want to use federal regulations to micromanage states and localities in their use of cameras for issuing traffic citations. I am against that on principle, he said. Instead, Armey opposes traffic cameras of any kind, period, as a matter of constitutional principle. I have taken the same position with regard to speeding cameras, he said. The problem with electronic surveillance is that you are denied your right to face your accuser and you are assumed to be guilty until you have proved yourself to be innocent. In fact, you are assumed to be there. A police officer has immediate identification of who's driving the car. Armey warned that the United States could end up like England. I would say that I could leave my residence in London, travel all around town and make three or four stops, and there would be a record of everywhere I went. The surveillance there is that thorough, he said. Said Armey spokesman Richard Diamond, The British government has proposed increasing the number of tickets issued by cameras from 550,000 to 10 million a year. At present, no American municipality is planning to use traffic cameras for anything other than red-light running and speeding. A report prepared by Armey's office says, Today's formula for calculating yellow times yields yellow times that can in some cases be about 30 percent shorter than the older formula. Armey's office collected traffic studies from around the country and found that when the yellow-light time increased, red-light running decreased. In Mesa, Ariz., for example, the number of vehicles entering an intersection on red dropped by 73 percent; in Georgia, by 75 percent; at sites in Virginia and Maryland, 77 percent or more, including two sites where researchers reported that the red-light running problem was virtually eliminated. But lengthening yellow times does not raise revenue. Fifty cities in 10 states now use red-light cameras. In 18 months, San Diego's 19 cameras have raked in $30 million. West Hollywood, Calif., earns $4.9 million annually from its cameras. New York City's 15 cameras made $5.4 million in their first year. San Diego's red-light camera ticketing program suffered a setback this month after the city discovered a glitch that meant some motorists may have been ticketed unjustly. After a lawsuit was filed in February, discovery turned up a Potential Intersection Worksheet prepared for the city when it was deciding where to install red-light cameras.

Slavery has been an abominable practice for all of human history, it should be acknowledged as such rather than minimized by trying to blame the other guy.

The truth will never fully be known by anyone in either instance.

Skolnick 06/15/01 Shackled and hand-cuffed to major financial forces, the moguls of the monopoly press believe the secrets of Timothy McVeigh ended when he ended. And the stooges, masquerading as our leaders, governing nowadays without our consent, are inclined to believe that as well. What they did not realize is that some of their supposed confidential conversations were not that hush-hush. Were overheard and noted, even apparently taped. What did they know and not tell us? Information confirmed to them as correct but kept from the common people? [1] That the American secret political police had McVeigh under video and audio scrutiny from at least thirty days prior to the multiple bombings on April 19, 1995, of the Alfred P. Murrah Building. [2] McVeigh was surveilled in Kansas and Oklahoma in the company of two middle-eastern types, partly disguised. As known to the FBI , the American CIA, and other espionage agencies, foreign and domestic, his two handlers accompanied him in a late model four-wheel drive pick-up truck. [3] As these agencies corroborated, McVeigh's supervisors were actually Iraqi military officers, from intelligence units, quietly brought into the United States at the end of the brief Persian Gulf War, 1991. They were part of more than four thousand of the same, supposed defectors, arranged by then President George Herbert Walker Bush. The Elder Bush, many do not know, for the decade of the 1980s, was the PRIVATE business partner of Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi strongman. Together, they shared billions and billions of dollars of kick-backs and protection funds, from the weak oil sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf. A little known Chicago federal lawsuit was brought, in October, 1990, during the lead-up to the shooting war, to keep concealed the related bank records showing the clandestine partnership. The case involved the records of the Chicago unit of Italy's largest bank, owned in part by the Vatican, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, BNL. The Federal Reserve Board wanted the House Banking Committee Chairman to agree never to use the records because he refused to sign a secrecy oath. As the only journalist attending the court hearing, I interviewed some of the participants in the back of the courtroom.I asked and received identical answers three times, to be certain of the crucial data. They confirmed the Bush-Saddam relationship and the monstrous kick-backs from the sheikdoms. Only one publication, a populist newspaper, The Spotlight, penetrated the nationwide censorship and ran my exclusive story, August 19, 1991. The case was entitled People of the State of Illinois ex rel Willis C. Harris, Bank Commissioner vs. the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the House Banking Committee, No. 90 C 6863, in the U.S. District Court, and later heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit, Chicago. The three-judge federal appeals court panel was dominated by the infamous Chief Judge Richard A. Posner [(312) 435-5806] [Visit our website for our story Chief Crook Enters Microsoft Case.] Posner and his virtual shadow, federal appeals Judge Frank H. Easterbrook [(312) 435-5808], although on the bench, continue to represent reportedly the billion dollar stock portfolio of the oil-soaked Rockefeller's University of Chicago, were they used to be law professors. [The two judges have reportedly failed to disclose the relationship in their mandatory annual Federal Financial Disclosure Report.] As part of the cover-up, Chief Judge Posner ordered the Bush/Saddam/BNL case removed from the courthouse. Later, Posner and his shadow Easterbrook, as a reprisal for my reporting the case on my TV Show, unconstitutionally ordered me and a TV program associate of mine, Joseph Andeuccetti, barred from all the federal courtrooms in the 7th Circuit, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

Re: [CTRL] Strange Murders In Arizona...
-Caveat Lector- I have not failed to notice a marked upswing in this type of thing in recent years, and one at least must stop to wonder at what is the impetus for it.

Here's one example [of the *dozens* that I have in my files on Arizona murders] : On September 24, 1994, Eugene Doerr called police. He reported waking up and finding a dead woman in his bedroom. The nude victim, Karen Bohl, was found lying on the floor with several lacerations to her head. A nipple had been cut off her breast. She suffered major trauma to her vagina and rectal area. Bruises and abrasions were found on her neck and other parts of her body. Investigators noticed signs of a major struggle inside the apartment, including bloodstains on walls, floors and furniture in different rooms. An autopsy later revealed Karen Bohl died from multiple blunt force trauma. Eugene Doerr's clothes and most of his body were covered in dried blood. When his clothing was removed, investigators observed his pelvic area and penis were also saturated with dried blood. He had several injuries, including a broken hand, a deep laceration to his wrist consistent with a knife wound. A bloody steak knife was found on the bathroom sink. A bloodstained brass pipe was located on the living room floor. Eugene Doerr told police he had gone out drinking at a couple of bars the previous evening, and did not remember coming home. When he woke up, he found the victim's body and realized he was covered with blood. He claimed he had no idea what happened. === Eugene Doerr is currently on death row in Arizona. I suspect that there are many people in a similar situation -- people who are being *controlled* and used to commit murders and other crimes, and then discarded afterwards.

Colombia is Latin America's fifth-largest oil exporter, and sends 85 percent of its crude to the U.S. ___ = REUTERS Wednesday, 13 June 2001 Foreign investment up in Colombia's oilfields By C. Bryson Hull HOUSTON, Texas -- Foreign oil companies are tapping more of Colombia's rich oil and gas fields as the country offers better contractual terms and increased security, the nation's ambassador to the United States said on Wednesday. ``Colombia has understood that our efforts to make investments in the energy sector more attractive to you are tied to the well-being of all our citizens,'' Ambassador Luis Alberto Moreno told an audience of energy executives at a luncheon sponsored by the InterAmerican Chamber of Commerce. President Andres Pastrana's administration has already increased foreign investment by upping the return energy companies get from exploration and production activities, Moreno said. Previously, foreign operators had to give the government, via Colombian state oil firm Ecopetrol, half of their production. The new contracts, 28 years in length, lower the state's cut to 30 percent. Right now, 80 foreign energy companies are operating in Colombia, he said. Geologically speaking, Colombia is an attractive target for exploration and production companies because of its rich and mostly untapped oil and gas reserves. Moreno said Colombia has 33 billion barrels of oil equivalent and 7 trillion cubic feet of proved reserves in natural gas. But the most bedeviling problem for foreign oil companies is maintaining security for its workers and operations. Guerrillas fighting in Colombia's 37-year-old civil war have bombed pipelines and production facilities and kidnapped workers, adding significant costs and risks. For example, leftist rebels in April kidnapped 27 employees working for U.S. company Occidental Petroleum Corp. at a remote oil field. The Cano Limon pipeline Occidental operates has been bombed more than 100 times. Harken Energy Inc., a Houston-based oil company, in recent months said it was considering the ``timing'' of its Colombian operations, and last week said it planned to merge all of its foreign assets with internationally-focused operator. Pastrana has pushed hard to reach peace with the leftist guerrilla groups, which he sees -- along with the eradication of the nation's illegal drug trade -- as a key to attracting foreign investment to fund infrastructure improvements. ``There is still work to do. We are working hard to reach a peace settlement, a political solution with the main insurgency group, the FARC, which will eventually make situations in Colombia easier for private investors,'' Moreno said. FARC is the acronym formed by the Spanish name of Colombia's largest leftist guerrilla group. The leftist groups generally oppose Pastrana's plans. Pastrana's $7.5 billion Plan Colombia, a broad policy initiative that initially focuses on fighting drug production, also includes efforts to protect Colombia's energy infrastructure, Moreno said.

The FBI had asked the commission for "more effective personnel security obligations" at telecom companies to "ensure the trustworthiness of the private-company employees who have become increasingly responsible for implementing electronic surveillance." The additional security steps would have required carriers to maintain a list of personal information on employees who conduct wiretaps. Carrier employees would also have to sign nondisclosure agreements and agree to undergo thorough background checks by the FBI. The added rules also would have required carriers to report breaches of systems security within two hours. In justifying its refusal to implement the FBI's request, the FCC said most carriers already have adequate employee security measures in place. "Several carriers object to the suggestion they might not be responsible in controlling their own employees or that their employees might present security risks," the commission said. At issue is the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), a 1994 statute that required wire-line and wireless telephone companies to build law enforcement surveillance capabilities into their newer digital communications systems. In 1998, the FCC granted an FBI request to include a punch list of four additional eavesdropping capabilities, to keep up with changes in technology - most notably digital or wireless transmission modes, or features and services such as call forwarding, speed dialing and conference calling. Several privacy groups and telecom industry associations later sued to overturn the law. Last August, the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that in implementing the punch list requirements, the FCC did not adequately consider the privacy or cost implications of the requirements. The court overturned the punch list items and ordered the FCC to justify the new items in light of the privacy and cost concerns. The FCC solicited and received comments on both issues last December, but it has yet to issue its justification as ordered by the court. "They have whatever time they choose to take and come up with justification for costs and the privacy issue," said Michael Warren, former chief of the FBI's CALEA Implementation Bureau, and director of Telecommunications and Law Enforcement Associates, consulting firm. Warren said while the deadline for compliance with the punch list requirements had been set at Sept. 31, that date would almost certainly be pushed back. He noted that most companies have yet to fully comply with even the basic statutes required by CALEA, let alone those that have been overturned by an appeals court. "The good thing is they haven't imposed new, more burdensome requirements that in our view added nothing to the integrity of this whole process," said Michael Altschul, vice president and general counsel for the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA). FCC officials were unavailable for comment on this story. But industry sources note that the punch list remand is being handled by the FCC's Wireless Bureau, which now has more deadline-oriented spectrum issues to resolve before even considering industry comments on the matter. Sources say the FCC could issue its revised rulemaking on the punch list items as early as this fall.

Sanders Police officers serving a warrant or searching for a suspect hiding inside a building could soon have a new tool for protecting themselves and finding the "bad guy." A prototype device called the RADAR Flashlight, developed at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), can detect a human's presence through doors and walls up to 8 inches thick. The device uses a narrow 16-degree radar beam and specialized signal processor to discern respiration and/or movement up to three meters behind a wall. The device can penetrate even heavy clothing to detect respiration and movements of as little as a few millimeters. "We believe the RADAR Flashlight potentially will be useful to police officers in ambush situations," says Gene Greneker, the GTRI principal research scientist who led the development of the device. " It is a force multiplier and a safety enhancement tool." The RADAR Flashlight is undergoing further modification and testing for the next six months. The Georgia Institute of Technology has filed a provisional patent for the device, which could become commercially available to law enforcement officials within a couple of years if the university licenses the technology to a manufacturer. With funding in 1998 from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), a division of the U.S. Justice Department, Greneker and his team took the RADAR Flashlight from a bulky three-part prototype to a self-contained unit that weighs about 7 pounds. The NIJ tested the device last year at the National Law Enforcement Corrections Technology Center in Charleston, S.C., and suggested further modifications. Work on those changes is expected to begin this spring with additional funding from the NIJ. "We will be modifying the RADAR Flashlight based on what law enforcement officials told us from the tests," Greneker says. "For one thing, they said it makes too much noise when it locks onto a wall (to scan). Also, for use by SWAT teams, the RADAR Flashlight needs to be operated by remote control. So we plan to put the RADAR Flashlight on a tripod at least 25 feet away from a wall and steer it by remote control to the part of the wall we're interested in scanning." When these modifications are complete, the RADAR Flashlight will undergo more rigorous testing in various environmental conditions. In its current form, the RADAR Flashlight operates in the following manner: The user holds the device with a pistol-grip handle, pulls a trigger, and the device runs a 3-second self-test to verify that it is properly functioning. The user sees the results as a bar graph on a small LED display built into the device. Then the user presses the device against a wall, pulls the trigger, and within 3 seconds the system automatically spaces itself from the wall at a distance designed for best performance. The RADAR Flashlight's narrow radar beam sends out a pulse of electromagnetic energy, then detects the return signal, which is read by high-speed signal processing technology that quickly delivers bar-graph results to the user's display. As the person on the other side of the wall breathes, the bar-graph display rises and falls with a rhythmic response. Research that evolved into the RADAR Flashlight began at GTRI in the mid-1980s with the patenting of a frequency-modulated radar for remotely checking vital signs of soldiers wounded on the battlefield before risking medics' lives to save the injured. This early technology also was tested for its ability to monitor vital signs of soldiers clothed in chemical or biological warfare suits, without requiring them to risk contamination by removing the protective gear. Today, a technical challenge remains for researchers working on the RADAR Flashlight. "We have one problem," Greneker says. "This instrument is so sensitive to motion that if you don't hold it still enough, it will detect its own self-motion. If we can overcome this, it would be the Holy Grail, and

Re: [CTRL] SF: The Mystery of Eugene Island 330
-Caveat Lector- If this theory turns out to be true then environmentalists would be very put out. It would mean that "fossil fuels" are not fossil fuels at all and that oil is a constantly renewing source of energy. Of course the effects of burning it seem to be just as bad regardless of origin. On Tue, 20 February 2001, MICHAEL SPITZER wrote: -Caveat Lector- [I read that this very well could have been known by oil companies for decades. --MS] Science Frontiers, No. 124, Jul-Aug 1999, p. 3 GEOLOGY The Mystery of Eugene Island 330 Eugene Island is a submerged mountain in the Gulf of Mexico about 80 miles off the Louisiana coast. The landscape of Eugene Island is riven with deep fissures and faults from which spew spontaneous belches of gas and oil. Up on the surface, a platform designated Eugene Island 330 began producing about 15,000 barrels of oil per day in the early 1970s. By 1989, the flow had dwindled to 4,000 barrels per day. Then, suddenly, production zoomed to 13,000 barrels. In addition, estimated reserves rocketed from 60 to 400 million barrels. Even more anomalous is the discovery that the geological age of today's oil is quite different from that recovered 10 years ago. What's going on under the Gulf of Mexico? It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the oil reservoir at Eugene Island is rapidly refilling itself from "some continuous source miles below the earth's surface." In support of this surmise, analysis of seismic records revealed a deep fault which "was gushing oil like a garden hose." The deep-seated oil source at Eugene Island strongly supports T. Gold's theory about *The Deep Hot Biosphere*. Gold holds: that oil is actually a renewable, primordial syrup continually manufactured by the earth under ultrahot conditions and tremendous pressures. As this substance migrates toward the surface, it is attacked by bacteria, making it appear to have an organic origin dating back to the dinosaurs. The apparent deep-seated oil source at Eugene Island and Gold's ideas make petroleum engineers wonder about a similar situation at the seemingly inexhaustible oil fields of the Middle East. The Middle East has more than doubled its reserves in the past 20 years, despite half a century of intense exploitation and relatively few new discoveries. It would take a pretty big pile of dead dinosaurs and prehistoric plants to account for the estimated 660 billion barrels of oil in the region, notes Norman Hyne, a professor at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma.

As much as people wish to deny the reality of government run and directed conspiracies to effect change in society it cannot be denied that it can and does occur. I am not saying that it is true in this case but to blindly think that mere death and atrocity would stop the people in power from doing a thing in order to achieve an end that they viewed to be important is to ignore history. After all governments conduct war, espionage, and other things that produce devastation and death.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said some Australians had doubts about the 1996 shootings by Martin Bryant, which left 35 people dead in the Tasmanian tourist town. "I don't know, I wasn't there," Ms Hanson said. "But a lot of Australians have asked this question and it's on a lot of people's minds." Ms Hanson's comments followed a One Nation newsletter which suggested the murder spree was a conspiracy designed to allow the government to crack down on gun ownership. Gay Fidler, who played dead in the Broad Arrow Cafe while Bryant was half a metre away, was angered by Ms Hanson's comments. "I just can't have anything to do with this conspiracy, I really can't," Ms Fidler told radio 3AW. "I suspect Pauline may have something in common with Martin Bryant and that is he has the IQ of an 11-year-old. I think she might be going down the same road somehow." She said anyone who saw the news on the day, the trial or the aftermath could not suggest such a conspiracy. "To even be able to ask that question ... I just can't understand anybody who could. It affected so many lives," Ms Fidler said. "Here it is five years later and it's still being brought up politically, sadly, and here we are listening to all this again. "Hopefully this will go against her and wake up a few people who want to follow her. Surely, they can't after this."

Re: [CTRL] Marrs-Is someone preventing our exploration of Mars?
-Caveat Lector- A healthy scepticism is certainly warranted in all things. But one surely stretches credulity in prescribing all of the Mars related mishaps to "accident". It seems to me that it is something which should be investigated further if nothing else. I am inclined to believe that anything uncovered is apt to be of Human design and that no aliens are involved, but hey, I could be wrong too.

Re: [CTRL] Christians and Conspiracy Theory
-Caveat Lector- Well, I certainly agree. Even accepting the Christian story one must assume that the Devil is the ruler of the current age, and that he is the "father of lies" and a master of deception. Therefore, how is it that one can say, from a Christian perspective, that there are no conspiracies?? It seems to me that the "old dragon" Satan would have them burgeoning everywhere? No? Of course I am not inclined to believe that Satan is doing anything, but humans surely are, and it is in their nature to be deceptive, secretive, and conspiring.

Re: [CTRL] Dark Star THEORY
-Caveat Lector- There are certain renegade cosmologists who have propounded this theory before.

Their scientific knowledge BRof astronomy, cloaked in the language of myth, included testimony of a BRcelestial entity orbiting the Sun which still remains unknown to our BRastronomers. Until recently. The Sumerians described a fiery 'planet' which BRfollows an elliptical orbit around the Sun, remaining hidden to observers on BREarth for millennia at a time. It is currently at its furthest point from us BRbut, even at the incredible distances involved, our scientists are now BRcapable of detecting its presence.

Nibiru BRdid not appear at the time of the Exodus, but in 3760 BC, at the start of the BRNippurian calendar and Hebrew count of years, as Sitchin initially argued.

BRPeltier had been present on June 26, 1975 near Oglala on South Dakota's Pine BRRidge Indian reservation when a fire-fight erupted between Indians and two BRFBI agents who died in the fighting. The FBI launched the largest manhunt in BRits history to capture the small group of Indians involved. BRPeltier ultimately escaped to Canada, secure in the thought he was out of the BRvindictive reach of the FBI. It was at that point the US government produced BRaffidavits that gave the Canadian government the excuse to extradite Peltier. BRA year later in a Fargo, North Dakota courtroom Peltier was subjected to a BRtravesty of justice when he was found guilty of murder for the deaths of the BRtwo FBI agents. He was sentenced to two consecutive life terms and is serving BRtime in Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas. BRSome 25 years later, Myrtle Poor Bear, choked with emotion, declared, â#8364;I was BRforced into this, and I feel very awful. I just wish that Leonard Peltier BRwill get out of prison.â#8364; BRPoor Bear, now 48, related how FBI agents came to her shortly after the June BR26, 1975 shoot-out. On more than one occasion she was taken away and BRsequestered in hotel rooms for days or even weeks. FBI agents subjected her BRto a steady barrage of threats aimed at pressuring her into signing BRaffidavits that would implicate Peltier, whom she had never known, in the BRdeaths of FBI agents Ray Williams and Jack Coler. BRIn testimony reprinted in the Toronto IGlobe and Mail/I, Poor Bear stated, â#8364;They BRtold me they were going to take my child away from me. They told me they were BRgoing to get me for conspiracy, and I would face 15 years in prison if I BRdidn't co-operate. They said they had witnesses who placed me at the scene.â#8364; BRAccording to Poor Bear, what ultimately led her to capitulate was a grisly BRdisplay engineered by FBI agents. She was shown autopsy pictures of Anna Mae BRAquash. Aquash, an Indian activist, had been found on the reservation with a BRbullet fired into the back of her skull. Supposedly for identification BRpurposes, Aquash's hands were sawed off and sent to FBI labs. These pictures BRwere shown to Poor Bear as well. BRâ#8364;They showed me certain parts of her body that were decomposed. They said BRthat's how I was going to end up if I didn't co-operate with them. They said BRthey could kill me and get away with it. I was very scared. I got to a point BRwhere I believed they would do it.â#8364; BRMyrtle Poor Bear's first affidavit is dated February 19, 1976. In it, she BRclaimed to be Peltier's girlfriend but made no claim to being at the scene BRwhen the FBI agents were killed. Four days later a new affidavit was BRproduced. This one was substantially the same, except it now claimed that BRPoor Bear had been present at the scene and saw Peltier shoot the agents. A BRthird affidavit, dated March 31, 1976, embellished upon the second with BRgreater detail. BRThe first affidavit was illegally withheld from Peltier's attorneys and the BRcourt during his extradition trial in Vancouver. When later discovered, an BRargument erupted over whether Canadian authorities might have been aware of BRit before or during the proceedings. BRThe recent hearing in Toronto is an attempt by the Leonard Peltier Defense BRCommittee to get Myrtle Poor Bear's testimony on record.

[CTRL] Final comments on election farce (maybe)
-Caveat Lector- Forgive my recent absence, but since there is such an air of non-chalance and indifference I doubt anyone noticed. Anyway it seems the mess is over, what with Gore conceding and Bush named as President elect. It makes me wonder at how this whole thing went down and exactly what the stakes were. I believe that the new election system and computer voting will be promoted whole hog. Gore must have deliberately shot himself in the foot what with the contesting of certain areas and not the whole state. Part of the plan maybe. Ironically, given the circumstances I believe the Supreme court ruled correctly on the issue presented to it when it overturned the Fla. decision. It is truly a shame that we even had to choose between these two men(?) and that we will have to deal with the new Imperial nation of Bush, another Reagan with others running the show for him and old boys slapping backs and loving it, and us returning to the stone age. Gore would have offered us nothing better with his arrogant eastern establishment mentality of I deserve this and I am better than you and you NEED me. Dig in folks it only get worse from here, and that would be true no matter which one of them won. "Welcome to the desert of the real." Morpheus, in The Matrix "My God it's full of stars!"

And -- The Ransom Scenario This is a MUST read Network America e-wire. One of the clear gambits of the 5 Big TV Networks is that they are doing an expose of the criminal, crooked computerized voting systems they have been protecting for the last 20 to 25 years, -- as a Prelude to pushing the country into the new computer systems that can be manipulated from a central location by satellite and ultimately to totally UNVERIFIABLE internet voting. Many times a day it is being said on the Controlled News Media: No one can ever think again that their vote doesnt count. Or Well this election has proved once and for all that every vote counts. This, in our judgement, was exactly the reaction the networks intended to induce when they called Gore in Florida, -- then retracted, -- then called Bush the winner in Florida, -- then retracted. This, in my judgement, was not just spontaneous election night mayhem. This was pre-programmed, both with regard to what Voter News Service handed the Networks to read on air, and with regard to what the computers had been programmed to do. The contrived confusion in the aftermath created the impression that the networks couldnt call results in such a free and close election. We are supposed to forget that this is exactly what they have done for the last 25 years, within minutes of when the polls closed, with virtually 100% accuracy WHEN COMPUTERS AND MACHINES COUNTED THE VOTES. This contrived, election night spontaneity was meant, as one objective, to squelch talk of votescam, known by now to a tiny put important percentage of Americans, and to counter the feeling of the overwhelming majority of Americans that elections are meaningless, and there is no sense in voting. The contrived confusion also was used by the Controlled Big Media to do a limited expose on how unreliable, absurd, and open to fraud are the punch card systems being used by much of the country. As an indication of how widespread is such punch card use, in the Cincinnati Enquirer on Sunday Nov. 12th, 2000 --- Howard Wilkenson wrote that 70% of the citizens in Ohio vote on the absurd punch card system. Incidentally, words like chad have been known to votefraud investigators for 20 years. Yet CNN announced at 6:42 PM on Nov. 11 that a new political term CHAD had entered the national vocabulary. Yes, its only entering the NATIONAL vocabulary now because the Big Media has been covering up the truth about punch card computerized systems. The Big Media and Big Politicians of both major parties have acted UNTIL NOW as if anyone who brought up the problems with the punch card system was touched in the heard, crazy, paranoid, conspiracy minded, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Furthermore, in 1985, we at Citizens for a Fair Vote Count, thanks to a public service lawsuit led by my Father, obtained from Judge Richard Niehaus (of Cincinnati, Ohio) a ruling that the punch card system used in Hamilton County had no safeguards to prevent the computers from being programmed to distort the election results. This decision was suppressed by the News Media, and then overturned by a crooked Appeals Court. The same punch card system is in use in Cincinnati today. In 1985, in conjunction with that lawsuit, Judge Niehaus granted us a court order to observe the vote tabulating process in Cincinnati. It was then we called the Colliers into Cincinnati, and they caught on film women pulling chad from punch card ballots on election night, after the polls closed, at election headquarters. (This film was shown at our recent CFVC convention and it is on our video tapes, with full explanation, now available at votefraud.org in the bookstore.) This story is also told in the chapter called, Strange Bedfellows in Votescam: The Stealing of America by Jim Ken Collier. The Colliers had gotten similar film footage in Miami, Florida in 1982 where League of Women Voters members waved and identified themselves on camera as they used sharp styluses to punch chad out of

-Caveat Lector- It is my considered opinion that this election is being manipulated and engineered for various reasons BUT that chief among them are these: 1) To get people to think that there votes are important and that THEY decide who is elected to office. 2) End apathy at the polls so that MORE people will vote, creating larger numbers which are more easily manipulated. 3) Get people to go for direct computer voting and "instant" tabulation to "avoid" error and end deadlocks and confusion.

Re: [CTRL] Cocaine, conspiracy theories and the CIA in Central America...A load of .....
-Caveat Lector- There has been talk of PBS being a shill for the CIA and other Old Boy Network organizations and it seems that there might be some truth to it. One other GOOD note is that when such effort is made to refute something there is usually something they are wanting to hide. In most instances they just ignore it and hope it goes away. This is an issue that hopefully will not "just go away".

While some were proven - the infamous LSD mind-control experiments of the 1950s - others, like the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the crash of the Savings and Loans industry, have little or no merit. In 1996 the agency was accused of being a crack dealer. A series of expose articles in the San Jose Mercury-News by reporter Gary Webb told tales of a drug triangle during the 1980s that linked CIA officials in Central America, a San Francisco drug ring and a Los Angeles drug dealer. According to the stories, the CIA and its operatives used crack cocaine--sold via the Los Angeles African-American community--to raise millions to support the agency's clandestine operations in Central America. The CIA's suspect past made the sensational articles an easy sell. Talk radio switchboards lit up, as did African-American leaders like U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, who pointed to Webb's articles as proof of a mastermind plot to destroy inner-city black America. One of the people who was accused in the San Jose Mercury-News of being in the midst of the CIA cocaine conspiracy is one of the most respected, now retired, veteran D.E.A. agents, Robert "Bobby" Nieves. "You have to understand Central America at that time was a haven for the conspiracy theorists. Christic Institute, people like Gary Webb, others down there, looking to dig up some story for political advantage," Nieves said. "No sexier story than to create the notion in people's minds that these people are drug traffickers." But in the weeks following publication, Webb's peers doubted the merit of the articles. Fellow journalists at the Washington Post, New York Times and Webb's own editor accused him of blowing a few truths up into a massive conspiracy. Amongst Webb's fundamental problems was his implication that the CIA lit the crack cocaine fuse. It was conspiracy theory: a neat presentation of reality that simply didn't jibe with real life. Webb later agreed in an interview that there is no hard evidence that the CIA as an institution or any of its agent-employees carried out or profited from drug trafficking. Still, the fantastic story of the CIA injecting crack into ghettos had taken hold. In response to the public outcry following Webb's allegations--which were ultimately published in book form under the title Dark Alliance--the CIA conducted an internal investigation of its role in Central America related to the drug trade. Frederick Hitz, as the CIA Inspector General-- an independent watchdog approved by Congress--conducted the investigation. In October 1998, the CIA released a declassified version of Hitz's two-volume report. The IG's report cleared the CIA of complicity with the inner-city crack cocaine trade. It refuted charges that CIA officials knew that their Nicaraguan allies were dealing drugs. But, the report said that the CIA, in a number of cases, didn't bother to look into allegations about narcotics And the Hitz report describes how there was little or no direction for CIA operatives when confronted by the rampant traffic in drugs in Central American during the 1980s. What follows is a closer look at the Hitz report, drawing on interviews with Frederick Hitz and others interviewed for FRONTLINE's "Drug Wars" series. When the Marxist Sandinistas overthrew the government of longtime dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979, U.S. approval soured when it became clear that the new regime saw itself as a satellite of Cuba, if not the Soviet Union. When Ronald Reagan became president soon after, he quietly began sending aid to those fighting the Marxist government. They were known as the Nicaraguan Resistance, or more simply, the Contras. As with Burma, Laos and Afghanistan before it -- where the U.S. had helped fight wars -- Nicaragua had a narcotics trade--a fact which was brought to the CIA's attention while the Contra effort was barely off the ground. In 1981 members of the Nicaraguan Revolutionary Democratic Alliance (ADREN) were working alongside CIA officers to overthrow the new

-Caveat Lector- By its very nature the "recovered" memories of ritual abuse survivors should be suspect.

No group of people or religious philosophy has a corner of wanting to "run the world" or get power for themselves and their own group. And just what do you mean that jews have a "particularly jewish" way of doing the things that they do. It sounds like you are the one who has a problem, and it is with the Jews.

BUT otherwise, tenorlove has posted plain old pro-jewish propaganda about how superior the jews are to all religions, as long as no one is saying anything to the contrary. This jewish idea of the superiority of the jews, and their racist behavior of separating themselves from the unklean Gentiles, is I suppose the foremost reason why the highly intelligent and verbose Michael J.

Given the propensity of the jews to seek their every advantage in all things in the particularly jewish way jews have of doing this, and what they believe about the unklean Gentiles, I think we do need people like Michael J.

And every other religion, including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, etc. Since Judaism teaches that all Christians are idol worshippers (along with everyone else in the world who is not Jewish), what do orthodox Jews, such as Sen.

Hoagland, Principal Investigator of the Enterprise Mission; Hoagland presented compelling graphical evidence, never before seen on network television, strongly hinting at a prior a "high-tech" civilization period prior to the known Egyptian civilization. Hoagland's evidence consisted of enigmatic glyphs discovered carved into the ceiling beams of a 3000-year old New Kingdom Temple, located several hundred miles south of Cairo and the Giza Plateau, at Abydos. The glyphs, perched high under the several hundred ton roof of the temple itself, depict astonishingly-modern-looking flying machines ... completely impossible under any current archaeological views of ancient Egypt! Hoagland's Abydos discovery was verified in November 1998 by a Fox television crew's own several hundred mile trek to the SETI-I temple at Abydos, and actual filming of the glyphs in place within the temple. The find is nothing less than astonishing support for the controversial sub-text of the March 2nd Fox Egyptian telecast: that we are not the first. That a prior, "high-tech epoch" to civilization somehow came before the now known Ancient Egyptian Civilization... which attempted to memorialize momentos of that ancient, now forgotten period in a temple built thousands of years after its predecessor's mysterious disappearance. Let's get this right - Hoagland did NOT discover the Abydos glyphs. They have been photographed, discussed and circulated for many many years prior to Hoagland jumping all over them.

Re: [CTRL] Occult within covert groups?
-Caveat Lector- I'd say that Samantha summed it up pretty well here. It is taken as given that the two are intertwined, and what has it gotten anyone? There is never any evidence to present only peoples testimony that something did occur. It could be all a bunch of mis-perceptions, hoaxes, and fraud, as well as signs of mental illness. There undoubtedly is much of all that involved somewhere but I still think there is a lot of truth to the relayed memories. There are many connections between the occult and the Intel. There is a desire for control of radical movements and fringe belief systems which could potentially be threats to the country and which means that groups are infiltrated and controlled. There is a desire to study controlling systems in order to effectively use these same systems for their own mind control efforts. There are others but these two examples should be enough to indicate why the Intel. world would almost HAVE TO be involved. On Tue, 03 October 2000, "Samantha L." wrote: -Caveat Lector- The anecdotal evidence, from survivor accounts I've come across over the years, is that many/most make an intel connection to their ritual abuse experiences. Dr. Bennett Braun documented many such accounts from survivors who linked their perps to national senators, CEO's of Fortune 500 companies and members of the intelligence community. He started to give such accounts credibility when they fell under the rules of 3, 4 or 5 - when 3 or more survivors who didn't know each other named the same prominent person. Constantine cites a marriage between intel and satanic cults beginning in the early 60's, as a trade-off: protection of cult members from prosecutions in exchange for info on mind-control techniques. He wrote about this in "Psychcic Dictatorship" but his reference for this was only a speech given by someone else. More than one survivor believes the marriage occurred long before the early 60's. There is no hard evidence that I am aware of - as there rarely is where covert ops are concerned. I take it as a given that there is a profound connection between the two, and proceed from there.

Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: FDA conflicts of interest (USA Today)]
-Caveat Lector- I think just about everyone on this list knew this already but it is good and about time that this has made it into national news. How about we talk now about conflict of interest in the judicial system as well?

To: undisclosed-recipients:; http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/ncssun06.htm 09/25/00- Updated 12:24 AM ET FDA advisers tied to industry By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY More than half of the experts hired to advise the government on the safety and effectiveness of medicine have financial relationships with the pharmaceutical companies that will be helped or hurt by their decisions, a USA TODAY study found. These experts are hired to advise the Food and Drug Administration on which medicines should be approved for sale, what the warning labels should say and how studies of drugs should be designed. The experts are supposed to be independent, but USA TODAY found that 54% of the time, they have a direct financial interest in the drug or topic they are asked to evaluate. These conflicts include helping a pharmaceutical company develop a medicine, then serving on an FDA advisory committee that judges the drug. The conflicts typically include stock ownership, consulting fees or research grants. Federal law generally prohibits the FDA from using experts with financial conflicts of interest, but the FDA has waived the restriction more than 800 times since 1998. These pharmaceutical experts, about 300 on 18 advisory committees, make decisions that affect the health of millions of Americans and billions of dollars in drugs sales. With few exceptions, the FDA follows the committees' advice. The FDA reveals when financial conflicts exist, but it has kept details secret since 1992, so it is not possible to determine the amount of money or the drug company involved. A USA TODAY analysis of financial conflicts at 159 FDA advisory committee meetings from Jan. 1, 1998, through last June 30 found: At 92% of the meetings, at least one member had a financial conflict of interest. At 55% of meetings, half or more of the FDA advisers had conflicts of interest. Conflicts were most frequent at the 57 meetings when broader issues were discussed: 92% of members had conflicts. At the 102 meetings dealing with the fate of a specific drug, 33% of the experts had a financial conflict. "The best experts for the FDA are often the best experts to consult with industry," says FDA senior associate commissioner Linda Suydam, who is in charge of waiving conflict-of-interest restrictions. But Larry Sasich of Public Citizen , an advocacy group, says, "The industry has more influence on the process than people realize." == *** NOTICE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.

Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: FDA conflicts of interest (USA Today)]
-Caveat Lector- I don't think we can go to a system where there is NO regulation, because it is just asking for trouble from those who would be unscrupulous regardless. In matters of health I think it is advisable to have truly independant experts evaluate the effectiveness and safety of all products, but that the people should STILL have the last word as to whether they want to try it or not. In other words I think that if you want to take a drug that the FDA says is ineffective or possibly dangerous then I don't think they have the right to keep it from you or you from taking it. At the same time there does need to be some measure of control over claims, manufacturing protocals, standardization, truth in labelling, etc. On Tue, 26 September 2000, "M.A. Johnson" wrote: -Caveat Lector- FDA advisers tied to industry Ever hear of the Public Choice Model?

Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT By Mike Blair A high-ranking retired Special Operations Command officer told The SPOTLIGHT that elite military units have been undertaking urban warfare maneuvers in cities and towns across the United States in preparation for assuming the duties of U.S. law enforcement. The retired colonel confirmed for the first time that the mysterious training engaged in by U.S. Army Special Forces and Delta Force, Navy Seals, Marines Force Recon and U.S. Air Force Air Com mandos is intended for domestic operations. Use of U.S. troops to enforce civilian law is a gross violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, legislation passed during the Rutherford B. Hayes administration prohibiting the U.S. military from engaging in domestic law enforcement, and the Constitution. The officer, a retired colonel, told The SPOTLIGHT that the Pentagon has been purposely misleading the public by explaining that these exercises are urban warfare training to prepare American elite troops for missions in foreign lands, such as hostage rescue operations at a be sieged U.S. embassy or other U.S. interest centers. The colonel said, however, the fact is the troops are primarily training for police-type activities, particularly in the United States. Two units have been heavily involved in the training: the Army's Delta Force and the Night Stalkers, the latter group being a unit of highly-trained helicopter pilots, who ferry the Delta Force troopers into action and have been responsible for flying low, at almost tree-top or roof-top level, over civilian areas. The colonel, who spoke with The SPOTLIGHT on the condition of anonymity, has been supported in his revelations by disclosures to the Internet web site, World Net Daily, by former Night Stalker, Captain Jeff Norgrove. "These aren't really military exercises," Norgrove said. "They are SWAT training. The Army will never admit that to you, but that's what it is.'' Last year, Delta Force and the Night Stalkers were involved in a controversial exercise in Kingsville, Tex., where the SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) troops used live ammunition and explosives to conduct their training. Special Operations Command officials at Fort Bragg, N.C., insist that only "training ammunition" was used during the exercise in Kingsville and other American communities. A number of retired military officers have come forward to insist that Army claims of the use of only training ammunition are untrue. "They really think we're so stupid that we can't figure this out," Norgrove said. Most of the Night Stalkers and the Delta Force troops, according to Norgrove and the retired colonel, are young and not fully aware of what is going on. "They just do what they are told," Norgrove explained. "It's exciting and the pay is very good." The colonel told The SPOTLIGHT that the young Delta Force soldiers and Night Stalkers involved in the activities are heavily indoctrinated. "They would not have any hesitation to shoot at their fellow Americans if they were ordered to do so and felt that it was the right thing to do under a given circumstance," the colonel said. "They are part of what the military refers to as 'the warrior class' and they are tasked to take out the enemy, and that could mean to them, under the right circumstances, either foreigners or their own countrymen," the former Special Operations officer explained. While the FAA regulations require air craft to fly well above the tops of houses and buildings, the Night Stalk ers are criss-crossing American cities and towns at extremely low levels, many contend, endangering the civilian population. In Kingsville, as an example, a helicopter struck the top of a telephone pole, causing a fire near a home. The Delta Force and Night Stalkers do not even wear standard military uniforms. Instead, just like any SWAT team, they are garbed in black uniforms, complete with black helmets and face shields. They also wear bulletproof body armor and are usually discharged from the Night Stalkers' helicopters wielding Ger man-made Hechler and Koch 9-mm machine guns. The

Totally absurd of course, but I submit that such a situation already exists in fact if not in legal language in some document somewhere. The idea of "stings" and "undercover" work is all about underhanded operations of supposed law enforcement agents in order to "get the goods on the bad guys". This would merely formalize what is in fact already the case, a truly sorry state of affairs indeed.

BRBRA Justice Canada white paper being shopped around provincial governments and police forces suggests cops be empowered to commit crimes ranging from drug trafficking to violent assaults, if they believe they need to in order to pursue an investigation. BRBR"The question we want to ask here is, why?" said lawyer Stephen Jenuth, head of the Alberta Civil Liberties Association. "There are provisions in the law now to allow officers to do things like sell drugs. Why is the government pursuing such sweeping powers all of a sudden?" BRBRThe white paper deals mostly with undercover police operations and drug stings. The paper says "intentional use of force" outside of the law wouldn't be permitted except in special circumstances - such as a situation where an undercover cop uses violence to prevent another undercover cop from being exposed or to protect evidence. BRBR"Say a cop wants to infiltrate a biker group and they ask him to, for instance, go beat up Stephen Jenuth," said Jenuth. "He could make a mistake and end up killing me, I guess." BRBRActually, the white paper says the liability shield would not cover the commission of sexual offences or assaults leading to "grievous bodily harm" or death. BRBRAnd a senior lawyer with Justice Canada said the shield probably wouldn't cover undercover cops committing assaults simply to prove they're not cops. BRBR"The officer would be expected to find another way," said Michael Zigayer.

Re: [CTRL] NAZI POLICY TOWARD HOMOSEXUALS
What is the whole worry here? Are people worried that their children will one day come home from school just itchin' to be homosexual based on some secret and covert "nazi" infiltration and indoctrination program by the "militant" homosexual movement? This is truly absurd. The least thing you have to worry about with your kid in school today is the "militant homosexual agenda" and its possible negative affect on your child. Better you worry about heterosexual molestation, violence, unprotected sex, and drugs, and perhaps even the "nazi-like" capitalistic indoctrination of our youth to the idea that aquisition is the measure of everything in this society.

I had asked a homosexual pedophile on a web-based Forum once who was from Germany if they taught homosexuality in the elementary schools there. He replied "Oh no!"

Really to see if my estimation of what was happening in Amerika was correct. I learned more than I bargained for. I, for one, could have lived with homosexuals "coming out of the closet" had it been done that way, discretely, here in Amerika. But due to the homosexual militant groups like ACT UP, Queer Nation, the pseudo-Christian group "Dignity" (which infiltrated the religious area), and also the Rainbow Coilition which brought you homosexual propagandizing brain-washing techniques into your very elementary school system -- the militancy learned from Nazi techniques (remember Operation Paperclip, and it was also called something else?). Backed by Democratic Socialists, Marxists, and Leninists, they are after getting rid of anything Christian in this country which even touches on the secular. Getting homosexual propaganda into the elementary school system, and what we see happening to the beleagured Boy Scouts of America, is no longer a question of "tolerance", it is a question of brain-washing generations to come into the homosexual lifestyle. THIS is why Christians and other people have a problem with the "homosexual Agenda".

Re: [CTRL] Murder and Drugs in Arkansas
This is so true and predictable on the part of the FBI. No matter what one has to say about the "truth" of accusations made against the President and Gore about the various scandals they have been implicated in there is no question that the Justice Dept. under Reno, which includes the FBI has consistently stonewalled and refused to investigat where those investigation would point to prominent people in authority. On Sat, 16 September 2000, Kris Millegan wrote: from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/henry.htm Click Here: A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/henry.htm"Murder and Drugs in Arkansas/A - Murder and Drugs in Arkansas by J. Orlin Grabbe It appears to be one more case where the FBI has concealed evidence to protect prominent individuals involved in drug-dealing. On Aug. 23, 1987, the bodies of two teenagers-- Don Henry, 16, and Kevin Ives, 17--were found close to Shobe Road near Alexander, Arkansas. They had been run over by a Union Pacific train. The state medical examiner, Fahmy Malak, ruled that the deaths were accidental--saying the two boys had smoked too much marijuana, and then had fallen asleep on the railroad tracks. But an Atlanta, Ga., forensic pathologist named Joe Burton said that prior to being run over by the train, Don Henry had been stabbed in the back, while Kevin Ives had been beaten in the face. A grand jury ruled the deaths a double homicide. Deputy prosecutor Richard Garrett and special deputy prosecutor Dan Harmon said the two death were related to Saline County drug trafficking. Now the police chief of Alexander, John Brown, acknowledges he obtained a taped confession from one of the murderers of the two boys. This admission was prompted by critcisms of Brown that came from Don Henry's father, Curtis Henry. According to The Benton Courier, Brown acknowledged during his recent bid for sheriff of Saline County: "Mr. Henry is accurate about losing contact with me in late 1993. During our last meeting, Mr. Henry heard part of a taped confession by one of the persons involved in the murders" (Jerry Breeden, "Brown says taped confession awaiting action," November 4, 1996). The Benton Courier goes on to say: "U.S. Attorney Paula Casey, contacted at her Little Rock office today, was asked if she was aware of the confession to which Brown refers. " 'I think that, under the circumstances, the best thing for me to say for now is "no comment," ' Casey said. "Brown's response continues: " 'Until now I have avoided talking about this confession at the request of federal investigators. " ' Because of the magnitude and suspects named in this confession, it was impossible to pursue this case at the state level. " 'Unfortunately, Mr. [Curtis] Henry contacted another suspect (who was a prominent Saline County resident) and informed him of being named in this confession. Ms. [Judy] Pridgen [Saline County sheriff] and I discussed the matter, and it was decided to immediately cease contact with Mr. Henry. That decision was reinforced by FBI agent Phyllis Cournan, who was assigned to the case. These allegations made me realize that no one has informed Mr. Henry that this confession and the evidence I gathered while working on this case for 18 months corroborated FBI intelligence files. This evidence is what initiated the FBI investigation.' " So there you have it. The FBI has been sitting on evidence related to murder without even notifying the father of one of the murder victims. But concealing evidence, or else (if need be) manufacturing it, has become par for the course at the FBI, especially where drug-dealers and high-level politicians are involved. After all, they all work for the same masters. November 20, 1996 Web Page: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations.

Re: [CTRL] Holocaust Museum Sued for Memorializing
I don't have any children, but I'm sure that if I did I would seriously consider home schooling. Maybe not so much for what I "fear" they will learn or be indoctrinated with while there (for as a "good" parent I would like to think I would raise my kids to know the difference between right and wrong, and to have an open mind, but to use their minds to look at and decide for themselves what is "right" for them or not) but because of the potential for harm that is there today, real physical, or emotional harm. It is a far wiser coarse in my opinion to actually DO something to make things better where you CAN than to just bemoan how bad it is. This is what is being advocated here, and I think it is sensible. If you don't klike the schools then try to change them, but in the meantime take your kids out if it worries you. If you don't like "militant homosexual agendas" then stay away from them and cover your kids ears when the "agendas" are on the evil "nazi-like" prow for young recruits.

Re: [CTRL] NAZI POLICY TOWARD HOMOSEXUALS
There have been several list members who have made the accusation that the majority of pedophiles are homosexual in sexual orientation. That assertion was challenged and never successfully defended (at leat to my recollection). I don't believe it was ever stated by anyone that ALL pedophiles are homosexuals or that all homosexuals are pedophiles, so to my recollection, your assertion on that subject is correct. On Sat, 16 September 2000, Amelia wrote: June, Are you saying the two terms are mutually exclusive? While a person may have one primary sexual identity, it does not mean they are incapable of committing acts normally attributed to another identity. A person with a primary identity of being homosexual may or may not be capable of committing acts of pedophilia, the same as a heterosexual. What should one call an adult male whose main sexual activity is with other adult males with opportunistic acts of pedophilia exclusively with male children? Probably a homosexual committing acts of pedophilia but that is a very lengthy PC phrase and not easily used by lay people on a casual email list. The same sort of question could be applied to, for example, a pedophile who lives as a heterosexual with a wife and children, abstaining from pedophilia because of illegality/unavailability. Technically, this person could be labeled a "non-practicing pedophile." It is just too convoluted and easier to identify the person by what they are doing and that is probably why people do that. I have not seen anybody on this list say that ALL homosexuals are pedophiles. Will somebody send me the portion of these posts that say that because I have missed it.

Re: [CTRL] Forfeiture
Yet another article on the evils of Asset Forfeiture. The propaganda surrounding this issue is adequately stated in the article. The idea that "drug dealers" and "hard core criminals" are the ones that are being affected is ludicrous. There have been a lot of good people who have been adversely affected by this law. It is about time that it be scrapped, if it isn't for the innocents who are negatively affected then it should be for those who may in fact be guilty but who have nonetheless been deprived of due process anyway. On Fri, 25 August 2000, Donald Park wrote: Request Sample Issue Government on the Take by John Perna Private property falls victim to forfeiture laws The Drug Enforcement Administration means business! Big business! As a matter of fact, the DEA and other agencies have made government into a "one-stop shopping" headquarters for almost anything of value. Do you need a car? A boat? An airplane? How about the whole airstrip? A house? A mobile home? A hotel? A motel? An apartment building? A ranch? A store? A laboratory? There is literally no limit to what government has for sale. The reason for this is simple: According to the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984 the government may now seize -- without a warrant -- any property which it suspects has been used, or is intended to be used, to commit a crime. The property may then either be auctioned off, with the money going to the agency making the seizure, or retained by the agency for its own use. Cars, yachts, houses, and other property are made available to individuals who work for the agencies, many of them undercover agents who have to be able to blend in with the millionaire drug kingpins and racketeers they are trying to nab. Since 1989, the federal government has reported receiving more than $2.2 billion in forfeited assets. It is a misconception that government agencies only seize property from drug dealers and criminals. According to the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984, the government may seize property without even alleging that a crime has been committed. About 80 percent of all property taken is lost by people who are never even charged with a crime. The allegation that the property was intended to be used in criminal activity is often sufficient. There are two types of forfeiture: civil and criminal. Criminal forfeiture operates in personam, meaning against the criminal defendant, while civil forfeiture operates in rem, meaning "against the thing." The guilt of a property owner is of no relevance in determining the outcome of a civil forfeiture case. The legal theory behind civil forfeiture cases operates upon the fictional premise that the property itself has committed a crime. These kinds of cases give prosecutors an obvious advantage, since the property has no rights. If the owner wishes to retrieve his property, he must take the government to court in a civil action, and thus bear the burden of proof. In the case where a crime has not been committed, the owner is required to demonstrate that he had no intent to use the property in a criminal act. In essence, the forfeited property is deemed "guilty" until the owner can prove it is innocent. The government dispenses with the procedural protection that is afforded in criminal matters by calling such a case a "civil" matter. The seizures can be done without any pre-seizure judicial review and without probable cause. However, by thoroughly searching the property they have seized, law enforcement officials can sometimes find probable cause for the issuance of a warrant. The constitutional protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures" has been cast aside. In fact, one crime might create two separate cases. One's car, plane, boat, or house may be "under arrest" in a criminal investigation. The owner may also be under arrest, but not necessarily. If someone other than the owner of the property commits the crime, this would still make the property "guilty," and thus subject to seizure from the innocent owner. Lucrative Business Seizure of private property has become so lucrative that competition has become fierce among agencies. In a given case, there may be agents of the DEA, the IRS, and Customs all vying for the seized goods. The defendant becomes the "only bone in a pen full of hungry dogs." Bounties are paid to informers. State and local agencies are cut in. Even the Judicial system can get a cut. When a group benefits, all of the members of the group benefit. A government agency is no different. The chain reaction in the civil forfeiture scheme causes a "trickle down" of prosperity throughout an agency. Give an individual a way to benefit himself, make it legal, and he will never run out of reasons why it is good and proper. Prior to the

Don't blame John Kennedy for the war in Viet Nam. President John Kennedy did not "engage the U.S." in Vietnam. The U.S. was "engaged" by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, starting at least by the time France was defeated at the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. The so-called "French Connection".the opium and heroin trafficking from the "golden triangle" of indochina became the "American Connection", following the French defeat. That's what Air America was all about. U.S. engagement in Vietnam continued to grow for at least 7 years before John Kennedy became President. In November 1963, Kennedy issued a National Security Action Memorandum which ordered all Americans out of Viet Nam by the end of 1964. At the time of this Presidential Order, there were less than 16,000 Americans in Viet Nam. John Kennedy was assassinated just 20 days after he gave that order. Lyndon Johnson cancelled Kennedy's order (NSAM), and eventually ordered more than half a million U.S. military personnel into the quagmire in Viet Nam.

The rich and big business are the leaches on society as it exists in this country today.

I thought it was obvious that I meant the Germany of the Nazi regime in power during WWII. I have nothing against Germans as a people or nation.

Re: [CTRL] Fiction is stranger than truth?
AH! Delta Green. Well, this is "fiction" writing in the tradition of Lovecraft with a modern edge. Delta Green is a covert and illegal operation within the government of the US who views its duty as rooting out the minions of the Old Ones and others of the Cthulhu Myth Cycle and stopping their attempts at causing madness and destruction. I highly recommend the books and the web-site. It is all very interesting stuff, and merely fiction. . .but I have often wondered at how the actual events and high strangness of history and existence (at least at times) correlates so well with much of what Lovecraft started with his so-called myth cycle, as well as by the continued propagation of it by countless writers over the years.

Re: [CTRL] Werner von Braun - was I WAS DICK CHENEY'S SEX SLAVE'
You've nicely summed up the Paperclip operation and the role of Von Braun as well. One should note that V.B. also designed spacecraft in the 1930's that were supposed to go to Mars. Much other technology, including that which is used for political, and thought control, as well as spying, etc., owes its existence to developments made by the Germans at the time. One must wonder at times whos hand controls history when we see a country so absolutely rife with genius in everything technological be ultimately defeated by nations that are distant seconds at best. Germany certainly was a marvel, and we are the inheritors of much of what they developed, and certainly have done more in the years since the war to further the aims of the Germans. Too bad this technology will always be tainted by the blood and death perpetrated by the Germans, and every country since them (and before for that matter). On Fri, 11 August 2000, "Robert F. Tatman" wrote: *Both* the US and Soviet space programs, and through them every other space program, relied on German missile technology. The US and the Soviets split the original Peenemuende team between them, although von Braun did his best to get as many of his men as possible into the hands of the Americans. Although the V-2 production facilities in Thuringia fell in the Soviet sector of Occupied Germany, the cream of the senior production staff (including the commander of the Mittelwerke and supervisor of the attached concentration camp) surrendered to the Americans, by design. Every missile or spaceship launched from this planet since 1945 has been based on the German designs and design philosophy. Now, it is certainly true that both Goddard, the American rocketry pioneer, and Tsiolkovsky, the Russian rocketry pioneer, could have led comparable development operations which would inevitably have led to highly successful rocket designs, but the fact remains that it was the Germans, led by von Braun, who prevailed by a quirk of historical fate. I don't know how history will ultimately judge von Braun, or for that matter the Americans and Russians who took over the German research in the name of the Cold War. But the man was a technological genius, beyond doubt. He may well also have been guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, but justice belongs to the victors, and by the time the Nuremberg Trials convened, von Braun and his Paperclip team were safely secure in White Sands, New Mexico, and--like so many other "former" Nazis who had turned their coats--under the protecting aegis of the United States Government. - Original Message - From: "Samantha L."

Re: [CTRL] Jeffrey MacDonald DNA Timeline--Green Beret Family Slaughter
This case has always fascinated me, and deserves to have a second and impartial look. One must understand that is cases such as this (and Einhorn's case as well) there is absolutely NO desire on the part of the Prosecution to have the evidence reevaluated, because should they prove to be in error they look like fools. There is more to this man's conviction than meets the eye, and rumors of drug trafficking on the base and Macdonald's knowledge thereof puts it into the domain of the CIA and others who wish it kept under wraps.

Bragg, North Carolina, military policemen responded to a telephone call from Green Beret group surgeon Dr. Jeffrey R. MacDonald. Upon their arrival at his darkened apartment, the MPs discovered the horribly slaughtered bodies of Captain MacDonald's wife, Colette, 26, and their daughters Kimberly, 5, and Kristen, 2. An MP revived MacDonald through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. MacDonald told that he had been asleep on the sofa when he awoke to the screams of his wife and oldest daughter. Three men, standing over the sofa, attacked him, he said. They were a black man wearing an army field jacket with E-6 stripes, and two white men, apparently under the influence of drugs. MacDonald said that the black man, who showed no signs of being drugged, wielded a baseball bat. The two white men had used bladed weapons. Behind these men, MacDonald said he had caught a fleeting glimpse of a blonde woman wearing a floppy hat. She chanted, "Acid is groovy. Kill the pigs."

The mitochondrial variant can be taken from smaller samples of biological material in less pristine conditions than are required for nuclear DNA testing. 3. April, 1997: Inspector General Michael Bromwich of the Department of Justice releases a long-awaited report on the FBI lab. He finds the lab seriously deficient, and scathingly names one FBI agent, Michael Malone, as having testified falsely in the Alcee Hastings case. 4. April 16, 1997: The Wall Street Journal prints a large, front-page investigative story regarding Michael Malone's actions in a series of cases, culminating in an expose of Malone's fraudulent testimony in the MacDonald case. (It was Malone's testimony that caused the Federal courts to deny Dr. MacDonald's appeal regarding the presence of wig hairs at the crime scene, thought to be from Helena Stoeckley's wig.) 5. April 22, 1997: Dr. MacDonald files a federal appeal, attempting to reopen the prior appeal that was rejected based on Malone's false testimony. Included in this 1997 appeal is new evidence regarding the wig fibers, plus other new evidence. ** In addition, this appeal requested that the court order DNA testing on the biologic exhibits in the MacDonald case. 6. May, 1997: The government, still led by prosecutor Brian Murtagh, begins a massive campaign to have Dr. MacDonald's new information denied by the court. In their legal filings, the government requests the court to not allow DNA testing in the MacDonald case. 7. October 17, 1997: The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals orders DNA testing in the case. Specifically, the court order is direct and clear: "It is adjudged and ordered that the motion with respect to DNA testing is granted, and the issue is remanded (sent back to) the District Court." (All other portions of the appeal are denied.) 8. October 1997-December 1998: The government mounts a fierce campaign to prevent or delay the tests, and to limit the scope of the testing. Specifically, the government prosecutor says: a. The defense should not be allowed both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA tests, but should have to choose one or the other. b. The defense should be limited to certain exhibits, and not be allowed access to all the biologic exhibits, i.e. limit defense
