I heard of something like this before, maybe the same thing, it was called an infinity 
transmitter which would send information out even if the phone was off or no line was 
being used.

 I'll say!

 Any one ever hear about that film chip
 (about the size and look of a single hit of
 window pane LCD, circa 1975) that would
 statically attach to the mouth mic of any
 phone, and would then allow normal
 functioning of the phone, while ALWAYS
 bugging the room/rooms adjacent to the room
 with the bug?

 This technology, allegedly developed at
 Cambridge, was said to be THE ABSOLUTE
 single most secret device to have ever been
 classified by an alphabet agency.  I mean,
 just think for a few MINUTES.  How'bout paying
 a janitor to put one on the conference room
 phone, the one that rings into the secret
 board room meeting once a year, the one on the
 gazilianth floor of IBM Towers, Rockefller Center,
 NYC, upon which the meeting deciding how
 much of their profits were to go into RD for
 the next year, and in what new technologies!

 With just this, one with the funds (albeit few)
 could cause a major fluctuation on the exchange.

 FBI Must Reveal Computer Snooping Technique -Judge

 Updated: Tue, Aug 07, 2001

 http://news.excite.com/news/r/010807/18/news-crime-surveillance-dc

 NEWARK, N.J. (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.

 BRCash for guns - Beazley denies spy's claims
 BR
 BRBy Anne Burns
 BR
 BR
 BR
 BRA SECRET agent's claims that Labor got an $8.5 million pay-off for the Hawke
 BRgovernment's role in illegal arms dealing with Iran is set to be probed by a
 BRparliamentary inquiry.
 BR
 BRThe claims are a potential time bomb for Labor leader Kim Beazley in the
 BRlead-up to the Federal election.
 BR
 BRAustralian Democrats Senator Andrew Murray, a member of the joint standing
 BRcommittee inquiry into electoral funding, said the committee had to look into
 BRthe allegation. The committee is chaired by Liberal Senator Chris Pyne and
 BRdominated by Liberals and Australian Democrats.
 BR
 BRIf it agrees to a probe, allegations which implicate former prime minister
 BRBob Hawke, failed tycoons Alan Bond and Yosse Goldberg and WA Labor's 1980s
 BRfundraising record will come under the spotlight.
 BR
 BRSenator Murray has called for political donations from foreigners to be
 BRbanned because they cannot be monitored.
 BR
 BRMr Beazley was the Hawke government defence minister when US-backed arms for
 BRIran were allegedly shipped through Fremantle and stored at WA defence
 BRfacilities.
 BR
 BRBrisbane-based investigative journalist Marshall Wilson's submission to the
 BRcommittee, which was tabled in Federal Parliament yesterday, said the
 BRallegation that the Labor Party accepted a big donation, either in return for
 BRor in appreciation of participation by the Australian government in illegal
 BRarms trading, had never been thoroughly investigated.
 BR
 BRThe claims were made by ex-Israeli Mossad agent Ari Ben-Menashe, whose
 BRapplication for political asylum in Australia was rejected by the Labor
 BRgovernment in 1992.
 BR
 BRMr Ben-Menashe, an Israeli military intelligence agent for 10 years until
 BR1989, gave evidence about illegal arms dealing with Iran and Iraq to the US
 BRCongressional inquiry into the Iran-Contra affair.
 BR
 BRHe has alleged that the WA Labor Party's discredited fundraising arm, the
 BRCurtin Foundation, got $8.5 million from a CIA-linked company in 1987 as a
 BRreward for Labor government complicity in Iran arms shipments.
 BR
 BRHe claims Mr Hawke was aware of the arms shipments and the payment - a claim
 BRMr Hawke denies - but then treasurer Paul Keating did not know. Mr
 BRBen-Menashe says he is not aware if Mr Beazley knew. Mr Wilson said the
 BRallegations should be investigated by a royal commission if the committee did
 BRnot take up the case.
 BR
 BRHe said Prime Minister John Howard knew of the allegations because he had
 BRinterviewed Mr Ben-Menashe when in opposition. Mr Howard was told that arms
 BRhad been shipped through Fremantle for four months in 1987, including 4000
 BRAmerican missiles and Vietnamese and North Korean artillery.
 BR
 BRSenator Chris Evans, WA ALP secretary at the time, and former premier Brian
 BRBurke dismissed the claims yesterday.
 BR
 BRA spokesman for Mr Beazley said the allegations were as bizarre as they were
 BRuntrue: It's the sort of thing Jeffrey Archer might make up - and he's in
 BRjail. Mr Bond has described the allegation that he was the link man in a CIA
 BRpay-off to the John Curtin Foundation as absolute rubbish.

  Judge bars 'Viagra defense'

  The Associated Press

  A man faces trial today for the rape of an 18-year-old
 woman,
 but he's
  been barred from using the Viagra defense.

  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.

 Soft Skull's press statement.
 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.

 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

This sounds like a very interesting case that is well worth keeping an eye on, since a 
keystroke interceptor would enable the Feds to bypass any type of firewall or 
encryption and if they can do it willy nilly then no one's data is secure.  Scary.

LANG=0The U.S. government has invoked national security to argue that details of a

 BRJustice Department attorneys told a federal judge overseeing the prosecution
 BRof an alleged mobster that public disclosure of a classified keystroke logger
 BRwould imperil ongoing investigations of foreign intelligence agents and
 BRendanger the lives of U.S. agents.
 BR
 BRIn court documents A 
HREF=http://www2.epic.org/crypto/scarfo/gov_supp_brief.pdf;(PDF)/A filed Friday, 
the Justice Department claims that
 BRsuch stringent secrecy is necessary to prevent hostile intelligence
 BRofficers from employing counter-surveillance tactics to thwart law
 BRenforcement.
 BR
 BRU.S. District Judge Nicholas Politan A 
HREF=http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,45730,00.html;heard arguments/A 
last Monday in the
 BRprosecution of Nicodemo S. Scarfo, the alleged mastermind of a loan shark
 BRoperation in New Jersey. Politan asked both sides to submit additional briefs
 BRbefore he decided whether or not to order the feds to disclose details about
 BRtheir keystroke logging device, which captured Scarfo's PGP passphrase.
 BR
 BRPolitan has barred attorneys in the case from talking to reporters.
 BR
 BRDonald Kerr, the director of the FBI's lab, said in an affidavit filed Friday
 BRthat there are only a limited number of effective techniques available to
 BRthe FBI to cope with encrypted data, one of which is the 'key logger
 BRsystem.' He said that if criminals find out how the logger works, they can
 BRreadily circumvent it.
 BR
 BRThe feds believe so strongly in keeping this information secret that they've
 BRsaid they may invoke the A 
HREF=http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/laws/pl096456.htm;Classified Information/A 
Procedures Act if necessary.
 BRThe 1980 law says that the government may say that evidence requires
 BRprotection against unauthorized disclosure for reasons of national
 BRsecurity.
 BR
 BRIf that happens, not only are observers barred from the courtroom, but the
 BRtrial could move to a classified location. Federal regulations say that if a
 BRcourtroom is not sufficiently secure, the court shall designate the
 BRfacilities of another United States Government agency as the location for
 BRthe trial.
 BR
 BRBut the FBI's Kerr said that CIPA's extreme procedures aren't good enough.
 BRSays Kerr: Even disclosure under the protection of the court ... cannot
 BRguarantee that the technique will not be compromised To assume otherwise
 BRmay well lead to the compromise of criminal and national security
 BRinvestigations, and, in some cases, threaten the lives of FBI or other
 BRgovernment agency personnel.
 BR
 BRScarfo allegedly used PGP to encode his confidential and incriminating
 BRbusiness data. With a judge's approval, FBI agents repeatedly sneaked into
 BRScarfo's business to plant a keystroke sniffer -- it could be either software
 BRor hardware -- and monitor its output.
 BR
 BRDuring last Monday's hearing, Judge Politan wondered aloud how the law should
 BRtreat the keyboard tap.
 BR
 BRWas it akin, Politan wondered, to a telephone wiretap, regulated by the
 BRfederal law known as Title III? Perhaps it was a general search of the sort
 BRloathed by the colonists at the time of the American Revolution and
 BRthereafter outlawed by the Fourth Amendment? Or was it, as the government
 BRargued, just like cops rummaging around someone's home or office with a
 BRsearch warrant in hand?

 BRThe difference is crucial: If Politan rules that the FBI's keystroke monitor
 BRis a wiretap, the evidence may have to be discarded and Scarfo would be more

I believe you.  My point in what I posted was to say that such camps may in fact exist 
BUT that anything people see is not going to be such camps in actuality.  The camps if 
they exist would not be observable and would not be in any area where they could be 
scrutinized.  Such a thing would have to be hidden very well, as such reports of same

I really fail to see why these camps are still making their way around the conspiracy

 Dear Steven:

   Thank you for your response and comments.  It is literally impossible for
 me to personally verify all 300+ or 700+ s.  And even when some one does
 in fact find one they derrogatorily report that there is NO activity there
 and no sign of civilian prisoners there.

 So even with proof people still refuse to believe.  They keep
 forgetting that these s are being setup, planned, prepared, lying in
 wait, or being merely designated for later use.  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.

   If people can't heed an honest warning then too bad.  There are none so
 blind as those who will not see.  None so ignorant as those who will not
 understand.  None so asleep as those who will not wake up.

 There are claimed to be at least 300+ camps and possibly even up to 700+

 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

 BRCIA cash funded drugs trade
 BR
 BRBy Nick Peters in Washington
 BR
 BR
 BRWHILE Peru's disgraced former spymaster Vladimiro Montesinos awaits trial in
 BRa maximum security jail in Lima, it has emerged that millions of dollars
 BRdonated by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency not only helped him
 BRamass a small personal fortune, but was also responsible for one of the most
 BRembarrassing espionage debacles of recent years.
 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.
 BR
 BRMontesinos became a fugitive in October 2000 and was captured at the end of
 BRlast month by Venezuelan agents in Caracas.
 BR
 BRToday Montesinos is on hunger strike in protest against being held in the
 BRsame jail, one he actually designed, as many of his former enemies.
 BR
 BRIf found guilty, the ex-spymaster faces the rest of his life in prison.
 BR
 BRThat at least would ease the CIA's embarrassment.
 BR
 BRBut in the US, the CIA's involvement in the Montesinos case has raised barely
 BRa ripple of comment.

 The God That Sucked

 Thomas Frank



 Despite this, many economists still think that
 electricity deregulation will work. 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.

 BR
 BRDynCorp's Drug Problem
 BR
 BRby Jason Vest
 BR
 BRCould the State Department's antidrug contractors in South America possibly
 BRbe dabbling in narcotics trafficking? 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. The embassy did confirm that the vials of oil are routinely shipped
 BRto DynCorp facilities at Patrick AFB for analysis related to proper

 BRPublic records: Russian was arrested on British orders in 1917 on a boat in
 BRCanada but released after intervention by MI6
 BR
 BRRichard Norton-Taylor
 BRThursday July 5, 2001
 BRThe Guardian
 BR
 BR
 BRLeon Trotsky, the creator of the Red Army, was detained on the orders of MI5
 BRin a move which could have prevented him from playing any part in the Russian
 BRrevolution and its aftermath, reveal hitherto secret documents released
 BRtoday.
 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.
 BR
 BRWithin four weeks of his arrest, to MI5's chagrin, Trotsky and his fellow
 BRrevolutionaries boarded another ship heading for Russia.
 BR
 BRDocuments released today show MI5 continued its campaign right up the
 BRBolsheviks' October Revolution of 1917. Until such men as Trotsky are
 BRfinally convicted, anti-war agitation will be carried on in the factories of
 BRPetrograd, Moscow...and Leninite doctrines will continue to be promulgated

 Man accused of killing 3 gave warning, friend says

 The Associated Press


 RIFLE, Colo. (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.

Incidentally, if hardy life, capable of withstanding the rigors of space or hostile

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.

OR you can just let the calls for show me proof just fly on by and let your post 
speak for itself, but fighting over what is fact and what is not is counterproductive.

 SOP is to have someone on the clerical staff handle this type of mail,

 including an 'autographed' picture.

 I could write to the White House today and ask for an autographed picture
 of Bush, and I'd get one; would you then accept that as 'proof' that I
 was a close friend of the Bush family?

 Yes, it is a list that discusses theory...that does not mean that people

 Had beautiful portrait of John F. and Jackie Kennedy in color - a very

 Which thousands of other people also got when they wrote to the White

Re: [CTRL] How Ignorant are Scientists

2001-06-28 Thread tenebroust

-Caveat Lector-

It is not a blanket statement.  It is meant to refer to scientists who hold old line 
theories (not necessarily invalid or untrue ones, lets get that straight), like 
evolution, the inhabitants of early America, the origin of the Sphinx, etc.  Who 
routinely keep research out of peer reviewed publications, ignore or ridicule 
alternate theories that are put forward by reputable scientists, NOT because the 
theories are stupid or invalid, or UNscientific but because they hold the view that 
their theory is correct and all others MUST therefore be wrong, and thus should be 
ignored.

 yep lets feel superior about the ordinary joe six pack lay person -
 thenlets have a critical look at our superior intellect and where exactly
 that has gotten the human race over the last century.

 Did you know that Lord kelvin wrote a treatise on aether and gravitation
 which he presented to the royal society in 1901 and in that he not only puts
 forward the theory of the gaseous turbulence of the aether but of the basic
 principles of Chaos Theory - and by doing so - he had advanced Cosmology by
 a hundred years - see www.santafe.edu but look where we are now -
 Einstein's disclaimer on
 aether was the michelson morley experiment - I mean is it logical that if we
 examine the inside of something the size of a can of beans for aether and
 not find any that we can then project that classically irrationally result
 as an absolute a priori on INFINITY ??
 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.

Re: [CTRL] Seven Daily Posts to CTRL

The seven posts per day rule is only to make the list more user friendly and not 
inundate people with hundreds of e-mails per day.  As for flaming the best way for one 
to deal with all fires is to remove the fuel and it won't keep burning.  There is no 
cencorship here.  The items mentioned in the disclaimer are there for a reason as

Re: [CTRL] Bush's Opium Bender

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.

 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.''

 BRFragging Bob:
 BR
 BRBob Kerrey, CIA War Crimes,
 BRAnd The Need For A War Crimes Trial
 BR
 BRby Douglas Valentine
 BR
 BRBy now everybody knows that former Senator Bob Kerrey led a seven-member team
 BRof Navy Seals into Thanh Phong village in February 1969, and murdered in cold
 BRblood more than a dozen women and children.
 BR
 BRWhat hardly anyone knows, and what no one in the press is talking about
 BR(although many of them know), is that Kerrey was on a CIA mission, and its
 BRspecific purpose was to kill those women and children. It was illegal,
 BRpremeditated mass murder and it was a war crime.
 BR
 BRAnd it's time to hold the CIA responsible. It's time for a war crimes
 BRtribunal to examine the CIA's illegal activities during and since the Vietnam
 BRWar.
 BR
 BRWar Crimes As Policy
 BR
 BRWar crimes were a central was part of a CIA strategy for fighting the Vietnam
 BRWar. The strategy was known as Contre Coup, and it was the manifestation of a
 BRbelief that the war was essentially political, not military, in nature. 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.
 BR
 BRBut the methodology was successful and had tremendous intelligence potential,
 BRso DeSilva authorized the creation of small counter-terror teams, designed
 BRto bring danger and death to the Vietcong functionaries themselves,
 BRespecially in areas where they felt secure.
 BR
 BRHow Counter-Terror Worked In Vietnam
 BR
 BRThanh Phong village was one of those areas where Vietcong functionaries felt
 BRsecure. It was located in Kien Hoa Province, along the Mekong Delta. One of
 BRVietnam's most densely populated provinces, Kien Hoa was precariously close
 BRto Saigon, and is criss-crossed with waterways and rice paddies. It was an
 BRimportant rice production area for the insurgents as well as the Government
 BRof Vietnam, and thus was one of the eight most heavily infiltrated provinces
 BRin Vietnam. The estimated 4700 VC functionaries in Kien Hoa accounted for
 BRmore than five percent of the insurgency's total leadership. Operation Speedy
 BRExpress, a Ninth Infantry sweep through Kien Hoa in the first six months of
 BR1969, killed an estimated 11,000 civilians-supposedly VC sympathizers.
 BR
 BRThese functionaries formed what the CIA called the Vietcong Infrastructure
 BR(VCI). The VCI consisted of members of the People's Revolutionary Party, the
 BRNational Liberation Front, and other Communist outfits like the Women's and
 BRStudent's Liberation Associations. Its members were politicians and

 Barnes  Noble.com - Secret Weapons : Two Sisters' Terrifying True Story of
 Sex, Spies and Sabotage From the Critics
 From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly
 Now in their late 30s, the Hersha sisters claim to have experienced chilling
 childhoods, recounted here by two Ohio-based investigators Schwarz (The
 Hillside Strangler) and former police captain and ritual abuse expert
 Griffis who say they have studied declassified CIA files and interviewed
 military personnel in an effort to bolster the Hersha memories. 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. Credibility collapses,
 as improbabilities are piled on inconsistencies, and the truth is buried
 beneath simplistic, pulp-adventure prose. In closing, the authors claim that
 Their story is true, following with an admission that they found no
 government documents about the program or the sisters. An elaborate
 disclaimer about the presumed thoughts and imagined words of the
 participants will lead many readers to ponder just how much real events
 have been fictionalized. (Mar.) Forecast: Since Walter Bowart's Operation
 Mind Control (1978) and Donald Bain's The Control of Candy Jones (1976),
 many books about CIA mind control have stacked up. This account of The
 Manchurian Candidate meets La Femme Nikita will soon work its way toward the
 bottom of the stack. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

 From Internet Book Watch
 In the last half of the twentieth century the American government carried
 out secret, heinous experiments designed to create and perfect soldiers and
 spies. Cheryl and Lynn Hersha were two sisters who, as children, were caught
 up in some of these top secret programs of torture and mind control that
 went under such covert titles as Monarch, Artichoke, MKULTRA, and Paperclip.
 In Secret Weapons: Two Sisters' Terrifying True Story Of Sex, Spies And
 Sabotage, the sisters effective collaborate with Dale Griffis and Ted
 Schwarz to reveal and analyze these black box operations through
 previously classified CIA files, the sister's own personal experiences, as
 well as extensive and informative interviews with experts to document one of
 the most chilling and incredible aspects of American history — and one that
 never made it into any American history books.

 It would be easy to dismiss this book as craziness or fiction if it were not

 declassified CIA documents, and other witnesses and survivors. These kinds
 of horrible activities should not be dismissed from our minds because they

 BRGerman laboratory tests on a cow from a farm in the Czech Republic confirmed
 BRJune 13 the first case of mad cow disease beyond Western Europe. Fears the
 BRdisease is marching eastward heightened June 18 when Slovak authorities said
 BRthey would slaughter and test a cow imported from a Dutch herd in which the
 BRillness was suspected.
 BR
 BRThough these cases may be anomalies, the disease, known clinically as bovine
 BRspongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, poses a significant threat to Central
 BREurope. The region is unprepared to implement the vast efforts necessary to
 BRhalt the spread of BSE. An outbreak like the recent one in Western Europe
 BRwould decimate agriculture in Central Europe, particularly in Poland and
 BRUkraine.
 BR
 BRBSE is a degenerative disease affecting a cow's central nervous system.
 BRScientists suspect humans can contract a fatal illness, Cruetzfeldt-Jakob
 BRDisease, by eating BSE-contaminated beef.
 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. Of
 BRthose, only Poland exports a significant amount of beef - about 35,000 metric
 BRtons last year. The region's other large exporter of beef is Ukraine, which
 BRborders Slovakia.
 BR
 BRA source at the U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service said countries that export
 BRlarge numbers of live, potentially infected animals pose the greatest risk
 BRfor spreading BSE regionally. According to the Czech News Agency, most of the
 BR16,500 tons of Czech beef exported in 1999 were live cattle. Poland ranked
 BRsixth and Hungary 17th globally among live-cattle exporters in 1999.
 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.
 BR
 BRPoorer Central European governments will not be able to provide compensation
 BRwithout running up huge budget deficits. That means farmers are more likely
 BRto evade eradication measures and sell their products on the black market.
 BR
 BRBlack market feed is another concern. A slaughterhouse by-product, such feed
 BRis cheaper than vegetable-based feeds but is considered a primary source of
 BRBSE infection. Hurting farmers may look to either purchase or sell
 BRmeat-and-bonemeal feed, increasing risks of the disease's spread.
 BR
 BRThe costs and complexities of containment further heighten risks of a
 BRspreading outbreak. Ukraine is of particular concern. Ukraine is a major beef
 BRexporter with vast territory and relatively porous borders with both Russia
 BRand Belarus - other potential black markets.
 BR
 BRConsidering the risks of a widespread outbreak in Eastern Europe, the rest of
 BRthe world may choose not to wait for further evidence and may ban all beef
 BRfrom the region - shooting an arrow into the heart of Central Europe's
 BRagricultural economy.

Very thought provoking.  Since the police are more constrained by the purse strings of 
federal administrators they more and more become the handmaidens of the federal 
authorities and have no leeway to act.  The more there is a war mentality, of the us 
against them mindset which permeates this country (the war against drugs in 
particular) the more this will escalate until there comes a day when we have Generals

 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

 BRBRUSSELS, Belgium -- Maurizio Turco, an Italian member of the European
 BRParliament, shook up the last scheduled meeting of the temporary committee
 BRinvestigating the Echelon interception system in more ways than one Wednesday
 BRafternoon.
 BR
 BRTurco, who describes himself as a radical, charged that the committee's
 BRyear-long investigation may have raised international awareness about the
 BRsatellite-based surveillance system, but it was in effect nothing more than a
 BRsmokescreen.
 BR
 BRThe fact is, the Europeans set the whole thing up to distract attention
 BRwhile they set up their own system, Turco alleged. Committee chairman Carlos
 BRCoelho dismissed Turco's accusation as an attempt to grab the spotlight for
 BRhimself, and there was no question that A 
HREF=http://www.europarliament.net/ir_it.html;Turco/A has his own agenda.
 BR
 BRMinutes after the meeting started, Turco moved for an adjournment on the
 BRgrounds that parliamentary procedure had been violated by the failure to
 BRtranslate and circulate all the minutes from previous Echelon committee
 BRmeetings.
 BR
 BRWhat at first seemed a mere attention-grabbing ploy set off a lengthy
 BRdiscussion, and in the end the committee postponed its final vote on its
 BRresolution. It also delays consideration of the final version of a 113-page
 BRreport on Echelon, prepared by Rapporteur Gerhard Schmid, a German Parliament
 BRmember.
 BR
 BRNow, a vote on whether to submit a formal protest to the United States
 BRconcerning Echelon, originally planned for Thursday, has been pushed back to
 BRJuly 3. But whether or not Turco -- president of a block called the Radical
 BRMEPs of the Lista Bonino -- was grandstanding, his charge that Europe is
 BRestablishing its own Echelon-type system was not dismissed lightly. The
 BRreasoning is simple enough: If the United States and its partners are
 BRmonitoring telephone calls, faxes and e-mail through Echelon, can anyone be
 BRsurprised if other governments covet similar capabilities?
 BR
 BRIlka Schroeder, a German Green Party member who spoke at the meeting, said
 BRthat while she often disagrees with Turco, she thinks he might have a point
 BRabout European efforts to establish their own version of Echelon.
 BR
 BRShe referred to recent talks among European ministers concerning the
 BRexpansion of a program called A 
HREF=http://www.fipr.org/polarch/enfopol19.html;ENFOPOL/A to include such 
sensitive areas as
 BRcredit-card information and IP ports.
 BR
 BRThis could be much worse than Echelon, Schroeder said. If this is a report
 BR(from the Echelon committee) that pretends to protect the fundamental right
 BRto privacy in the European Union, then it must talk about ENFOPOL, because
 BRthat could be a worse threat to privacy than Echelon.
 BR
 BR
 BREven as a member of Parliament, it is hard to get information about what
 BRthey have decided. They aim to have complete surveillance of anyone in the
 BREuropean Union in real time.
 BR
 BRHer position is that all secret services are fundamentally untrustworthy and
 BRought to be disbanded.
 BR
 BRShe objects to the Echelon committee's emphasis on trying to bring the
 BRsatellite-based surveillance activities of the United States -- in league
 BRwith Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia and Canada -- under some kind of
 BRlegal oversight, perhaps even through the World Trade Organization.
 BR
 BRThis is not a matter of law, she said. Secret services have broken laws so
 BRmany times, you cannot just make a law. Any democratic control makes secret
 BRservices more legitimate.
 BR
 BRAs for whatever efforts are underway to give Europe an Echelon-type system,
 BRTurco said he was serious about the charges he made in the meeting.

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'

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?

 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.

 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.

There is a definite conflict of interest in these cases as there are in pharmaceutical

medically necessary as determined by physicians who are unencumbered by economic ties

 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. Those codes are used by

 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

 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. Five of the potential sites were

 BRResearchers Examine Relationship Between Brain and Religion

 BRSunday, June 17, 2001; Page A01
 BR
 BRIn Philadelphia, a researcher discovers areas of the brain that are activated
 BRduring meditation. At two other universities in San Diego and North Carolina,
 BRdoctors study how epilepsy and certain hallucinogenic drugs can produce
 BRreligious epiphanies. And in Canada, a neuroscientist fits people with
 BRmagnetized helmets that produce spiritual experiences for the secular.
 BR
 BRThe work is part of a broad effort by scientists around the world to better
 BRunderstand religious experiences, measure them, and even reproduce them.
 BRUsing powerful brain imaging technology, researchers are exploring what
 BRmystics call nirvana, and what Christians describe as a state of grace.
 BRScientists are asking whether spirituality can be explained in terms of
 BRneural networks, neurotransmitters and brain chemistry.
 BR
 BRWhat creates that transcendental feeling of being one with the universe? It
 BRcould be the decreased activity in the brain's parietal lobe, which helps
 BRregulate the sense of self and physical orientation, research suggests. How
 BRdoes religion prompt divine feelings of love and compassion? Possibly because
 BRof changes in the frontal lobe, caused by heightened concentration during
 BRmeditation. Why do many people have a profound sense that religion has
 BRchanged their lives? Perhaps because spiritual practices activate the
 BRtemporal lobe, which weights experiences with personal significance.
 BR
 BRThe brain is set up in such a way as to have spiritual experiences and
 BRreligious experiences, said Andrew Newberg, a Philadelphia scientist who
 BRwrote the book Why God Won't Go Away. Unless there is a fundamental change
 BRin the brain, religion and spirituality will be here for a very long time.
 BRThe brain is predisposed to having those experiences and that is why so many
 BRpeople believe in God.
 BR
 BRThe research may represent the bravest frontier of brain research. But
 BRdepending on your religious beliefs, it may also be the last straw. For while
 BRNewberg and other scientists say they are trying to bridge the gap between
 BRscience and religion, many believers are offended by the notion that God is a
 BRcreation of the human brain, rather than the other way around.
 BR
 BRIt reinforces atheistic assumptions and makes religion appear useless, said
 BRNancey Murphy, a professor of Christian philosophy at Fuller Theological
 BRSeminary in Pasadena, Calif. If you can explain religious experience purely
 BRas a brain phenomenon, you don't need the assumption of the existence of God.
 BR
 BRSome scientists readily say the research proves there is no such thing as
 BRGod. But many others argue that they are religious themselves, and that they
 BRare simply trying to understand how our minds produce a sense of spirituality.
 BR
 BRNewberg, who was catapulted to center stage of the neuroscience-religion
 BRdebate by his book and some recent experiments he conducted at the University
 BRof Pennsylvania with co-researcher Eugene D'Aquili, says he has a sense of
 BRhis own spirituality, though he declined to say whether he believes in God,
 BRbecause any answer would prompt people to question his agenda. I'm really
 BRnot trying to use science to prove that God exists or disprove God exists,
 BRhe said.
 BR
 BRNewberg's experiment consisted of taking brain scans of Tibetan Buddhist
 BRmeditators as they sat immersed in contemplation. After giving them time to
 BRsink into a deep meditative trance, he injected them with a radioactive dye.
 BRPatterns of the dye's residues in the brain were later converted into images.
 BR
 BRNewberg found that certain areas of the brain were altered during deep
 BRmeditation. Predictably, these included areas in the front of the brain that

Of course the issue here is a lot more complex than the origin of the slave trade and

secondary to the end result.  Slavery has been an abominable practice for all of human

Of course much of this stuff has been known for some time, the sad fact is that no one

ong live the Federal Government which caught him and put a lid on all of it.  There is 
so much bullshit surrounding this issue, that it smells a lot like JFK's 
assassination, a lot of disinformation put out by the Government to cloud the issue 
for all time.  The truth will never fully be known by anyone in either instance.

 THE SECRETS OF TIMOTHY McVEIGH
 by Sherman H. 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. [The U.S. Supreme Court refused a 
remedy to this blatant First Amendment violation.]

 Here's one example [of the *dozens* that I have in my files on Arizona

 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. This matter deserves a great deal of further
 research.

 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.

 Oil accounts for 35 percent of Colombia's exports, with coal making up 7
 percent. Colombia is Latin America's fifth-largest oil exporter, and sends
 85 percent of its crude to the U.S.

 FCC Nixes FBI's Plan To Change Wiretap Law

 http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/164541.html

 By Brian Krebs, Newsbytes
 WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A.,
 16 Apr 2001

   The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today denied an FBI request to
 change a federal eavesdropping statute, a move that would have forced
 telecom carriers to keep a tighter leash on employees who carry out
 court-ordered wiretaps.

 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.

 New Flashlight Sees Through Doors As Well As Windows

 April 16, 2001
By Jane M. 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,

 Remember Ian Thomas? He's the scientist who said he got fired by the Bush

 Wildlife Refuge was politically unpalatable. In a widely-distributed email
 message at the time, Thomas depicted himself as a sober researcher: "One of
 the biggest collections of maps online... certainly the biggest collection
 showing maps of biodiversity... a high-level political decision to set an
 example to other Federal scientists... I made no statement about what the
 maps might mean with regard to oil development of the refuge."

 A month later, Thomas is now showing what appear to be his true colors:
 He's an activist more interested in taking on the Bush administration than
 conducting sober research. His latest email appeal to supporters, attached

 to save the refuge... make people more aware of the threat that oil
 drilling poses... also to support the Gwich'in Nation in their fight
 against oil drilling in the refuge."

 Now, Thomas may have been fired unjustly, and it may even be a good idea to
 bar all oil drilling in the refuge. But the story is not quite as
 forthright as it first seemed. Background:

 Dear Friends and All Supporters of Freedom of Information!

 It has been almost a month since I was lost my job for putting a map up on
 the internet showing where baby caribou like to hang out in the Arctic
 National Wildlife Refuge. Please see http://www.maptricks.com for details.

 I have been trying to think of ways to use my story to make people more

 Arctic wildlife and also to support the Gwich'in Nation in
 their fight against oil drilling in the refuge.

 So, I was thinking of a way to ask people to send me maps of the Arctic
 National Wildlife Refuge when I came across the following amazing short
 story. I found it in "The Circle of Testimony" a wonderful collection of
 short stories on the Arctic Refuge, available for free online from
 http://www.worldashome.org

 It would be great to get maps from all ages and places but maps from kids
 would be awesome! Please forward this appeal!

 I promise to make very good use of any maps you send me in the fight to
 save the refuge and I will try my best to return any maps that you want
 back! Please write to me for further details at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Thank you so much for your support!

 The Color of Choice (by Sherry Simpson)

  From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner,February 1,2001:

 "Alaska Senator Frank Murkowski searched briefly for a picture of ANWR in
 winter to counter more picturesque photographs used by other senators on
 the floor. Failing to quickly find the shot he sought, Murkowski improvised
 by holding up a blank white poster board. This, he said, is what ANWR's
 coastal plain looks like nine months out of the year."

 Find some white poster board. From its blankness scissor out the shape of
 the Arctic coastal plain. (Neatness counts.) It is easier at the
 bottom,where policymakers drew straight lines, right angles, gliding
 curves. The top, now that is tricky, because that is where sea and ice work
 against the land,where the ground is less solid,where things are changing.

 Hold this blankness in your hands. This shape represents 1.5 million acres.
 Go walk an acre before you return to your map.

 [snip --DBM]

 This time, avoid harsh, obvious colors. Search your box of crayons for
 subtle, rich shades,or combine pigments until you can conjure the Arctic is
 true aspect: Musk ox brown. Meta-sedimentary gray, Bearberry crimson,
 Caribou cream, Hulahula blue, Oxytropis yellow, Dryas gold, Jaeger black,
 Grayling silver, Polar bear ivory, Lichen green, ANWR white.

 Copy your map and mail it to those with failed imaginations, to those with
 good intentions but self-serving lives, to those who can say no to everyone
 but themselves.

 Buy lots of postage.

 Keep the original to remind yourself every day: This is how big an acre is.
 This is how many choices I have. This is how it feels to hold blankness in
 my hand.

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.

 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.  "Off-the-wall theories often turn out to be
  right," he says.

Is this not the gut reaction of everyone who wants to trust in and believe in their 
government and that that very same government is out to protect and defend them.  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 cannot just

 Port Arthur survivor criticises Hanson's conspiracy theory

 Source: AAP|Published: Wednesday February 21, 11:55 AM

 A survivor of the Port Arthur massacre today attacked One Nation for
 suggesting the tragedy was a conspiracy aimed at promoting gun control.

 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."

 Yesterday, Queensland Senator Ron Boswell cited One Nation's tacit
 support to the conspiracy theories as just one reason why he could not
 give the party preferences over Labor.

a place here and there.  If convictions were involved he would have continued to fight 
even though the Supreme Court ruled against him.
They, as the rulers behind the scenes all must support the system in which they rely 
on for their position and power.  Gore would never go outside the lines in that or he 
would threaten his own ascendancy as well as countless other elite leaders, movers and 
shakers in the country.  Do you think it would be allowed to happen?  Yeah right.
This just goes to show, ONCE and hopefully FOR ALL, that the whole contested election

  WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (AFP) -
 
  George W. Bush was officially declared winner of the 2000 US presidential
  election Saturday after Electoral College votes were counted and certified
  by Congress in a contentious session featuring a walkout by black
  lawmakers.
 
  Democratic Vice President Al Gore, who won a majority of the popular vote
  in the bitterly contested November 7 election, announced the result in his
  capacity as US Senate president, giving Bush 271 electoral votes to his
  266, with one abstention.
 
  Bush's running mate Dick Cheney was declared vice president-elect by the
  same number of votes over Democrat Joe Lieberman.
 
  "I am honored," Bush said in Texas as the lawmakers gathered.
 
  "It's a humbling experience to become the president of this great land.
  And I want to reiterate what I said before: I'm going to be the president
  of everybody, whether they supported me or not. And people need to know
  that; people need to know that this is going to be an administration that
  will make decisions on what's best for America."
 
  The 538 electoral votes were cast December 18 in the 50 state capitals and
  the District of Columbia, the federal capital. Each state's vote was read
  and counted in alphabetical order in the joint session of Congress.
 
  A dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus walked out of the
  mostly-empty House chamber as the votes were tallied after

deploy weapons into space on some level and have been for some time.  In fact it is 
more probable that we do than that we do not.  Whether it would continue or escalate 
is a matter of varying probability, but I think this is one that is probably already 
moot.

Re: [CTRL] Marrs-Is someone preventing our exploration of Mars?

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

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

There are certain renegade cosmologists who have propounded this theory before.  I 
believe that it is one which merits consideration given the mythological symbology of 
ancient civilizations and the actual fact of astronomy as we have observed.  
Velikovsky had some good points, and many realized it too.  This body has also been

BRremarkable level of scientific understanding of the world's first 
BRcivilisation, in Sumer, is less well appreciated.  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.  Its vast size causes comet orbit 
BRperturbations which have been analysed thoroughly by two independent 
BRastronomers, Drs. Murray and Matese.  Its approximate location, size and 
BRdistance are now known, yet it has eluded our telescopes.  But it is being 
BRhunted down, and it may simply be a matter of time before the theoretical 
BRbasis for its existence is confirmed.  Unbelievably, we appear to be living 
BRin a bizarre binary star system. The data provided by the astronomers matches 
BRthe mythology handed down to us from the Sumerians Iexactly./I  But this has 
BRbeen missed by many because of their incorrect understanding of Nibiru's 
BRnature. The case for the 12th Planet has been made through the remarkable 
BRscholarship of Zecharia Sitchin, but our understanding of the nature of stars 
BRand planets, and what lies in between, has changed greatly since publication 
BRof his thesis in 1976.  He could not have realised that the Sumerians were 
BRcorrect when describing a 'planet' which had many star-like properties.  This 
BRmythical entity isn't a planet in the conventional sense, but a failed star 
BRknown as a 'brown dwarf'. Further widely-held assumptions about the timing of 
BRNibiru's occasional perihelion passages between Mars and Jupiter are 
BRerroneous.  Its orbital period is variable, with the periodicity of 3600 
BRyears serving only as a mathematical and religious archetypal fit.  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.  I 
BRcan now show that Nibiru last appeared in 25 AD. The 12th Planet is the 
BRMessianic Star, and its appearance was noted by the famous Roman writer, 
BRSeneca.  Astronomers, anxious to resolve the mystery of Seneca's anomalous 
BRdescription of this star, have taken on face value his assumption that this 
BR'piercing red' star was Sirius itself.  Yet it couldn't have been, as Sirius 
BRis white.  However, his testimony fits the predictions of the Dark Star 
BRTheory precisely.  The brightness of Nibiru at perihelion in Canis Major

BRSeneca to write his treatise on celestial fiery phenomena, which in turn led

LANG="0"Earlier this fall, in a downtown Toronto office, a Native American woman 
BRrecanted her 1976 testimony that served as the basis for extraditing American 
BRIndian Movement (AIM) activist Leonard Peltier from Canada to the United 
BRStates.
 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;œI 
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;œThey 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;œThey 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. The IGlobe and 
Mail/I BRdescribed the hearing as â#8364;œunique.â#8364; It was presided over 
by former Quebec BRCourt of Appeal Judge Fred Kaufman, a â#8364;œcommissioner of 
several high profile BRinquiries,â#8364; according to the IGlobe and Mail/I.

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.

The idea is for there to be more centralization, and ultimately more control and to

 "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide 
everything."
 attributed to Communist Tyrant Josef Stalin


 November 13, 2000 NA (Network America) e-wire

 Smoking guns! 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 doesn’t 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 couldn’t 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,
 it’s 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 

[CTRL] The REAL conspiracy behind the election farce

2000-11-11 Thread tenebroust

-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.
Mark my words if this doesn't start to come out in the weeks ahead more and more.

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".

 Cocaine, conspiracy theories and the CIA in Central America

 Since its creation in 1947 under President Harry Truman, the CIA has been
 credited with a number of far-fetched operations. 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

By its very nature the "recovered" memories of ritual abuse survivors should be

but the idea of shapeshifting lizards and alien, as well as other "entities" is, in my

   I've had personal contact with about twenty survivors of satanic ritual

 survivors and therapists I've been able to find and/or afford.  I've never
 heard shape-shifting accounts by any survivor except one - Cathy O'Brien in
 "Trance-formation of America."  It's already been established that Mark

   I've heard accounts of strange spiritual manifestations that to survivors
 are often only explainable in terms of demons or disembodies spirits.  No

   I think this whole shape-shifting lizard crap trivializes the very real
 mind-boggling torture that is actually occurring out there.  It takes the
 focus off the very human events that are occurring and takes the focus off
 the very real victims.  It creates a carnival atmosphere around grave
 occurances, which is probably exactly what it is intended to do.  People hear

Certainly Malachi Martin has written about this very thing within the RC church.  I

 I have a question here. In reading the dialog below, I notice that (is it
 "tenorlove"?) whenever something negative is said about the jews, tenorlove
 is very quick to point out the similarities with the Christians, Islams,
 Buddhists, etc, i.e. the "tit-for-tat" thing.

 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. Hoffman
 looks deeper into the underlying jewish babylonian mind.

 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. Hoffman and many, many others, if only in order to counteract the jewish
 wish to kontrol the world, if given half a chance, and enrich themselves
 ever more.

 I stand by my interpretation of the site as a piece of anti-Semitic
 disinformation, and a badly written one at that.. Schneerson died

 kabosh on any claim of him being the Messiah.

  Jewish

  is now
  largely founded upon The New Testament, via Anglo-Protestant USA,

 Does this include China, Japan, France, Italy, Greece, etc., or are
 they not civilizations?

  of Judaism, not Christianity?  Judaic law, talmudic and otherwise, is
  perfect?

 The Jewish laws are set down in the Torah, also known as the Pentateuch

 rabbinical commentary.

  fundamentalist,

 Being that he is still dead, I don't know that he can believe in much
 of anything.

  all Christians "worship Jesus instead of God."  Thus, is
  marxist-leninism
  really a Judaic politikal means to this babylonian talmudic end?

 marxist-leninism is atheistic: that means they don't believe ANY God
 exists.

 A
  lot of
  data are available that seem to point to this possibility:  the
  3,500-year
  old religion of Judaism teaches that idol worshippers are to be
  exterminated
  from the face of the Earth as quickly as possible by any and all
  means
  possible, exactly what marxist-leninism also decrees about
  Christians.

 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.
  LIEberman, actually believe?

 Why don't you ask him?

  So, "laws" that applied to the Bronze Age also apply to the Space Age
  and
  thermonuclear warfare?  Nothing changes?  A cigar is always just a
  cigar?
  How absurd.  What a brood of vipers haughtily making busy with their
  scales

  self-righteousness.

 Are you saying that the Bible is changeable to fit the times? H,
 maybe that's where Klinton got his modus vivendi.

  In Deuteronomy 17, this false prophet is also described as someone
  who
  would
  rebel against the authority of the judges of the Jewish people, and
  who
  should be put to death for his rebelliousness (v. 8-13, esp. v. 12).

 Jesus was crucified, a penalty reserved strictly for rebels against the
 ROMAN occupiers of Judea. Had Jesus blasphemed against Judaism, they
 would have stoned him to death, not turned him over to Rome. Can't be
 Jesus being referred to.

  sinless?  How absurd.  If they were so sinless, why then the need for
  a
  Messiah?

 The Messiah, in Judaism, is not considered a Savior in the Christian
 sense. He was expected to be the one to liberate the Jews from Roman
 domination.

  challenge the
  authority of the Sanhedrin, thus revealing himself to be an evil

It is nothing to wonder about.  Look at Van Danniken (sp?), he acts as though he is

the lines of Nazca (and other places and things as well).  It is quite clear why these

 Opening The Lost Tombs... The Enterprise Discovery
 
 Fox's world-wide Egyptian television Special - "Opening the Lost Tombs:
 Live from Egypt" - was broadcast live from Egypt's Giza Plateau, March
 2nd. The program included a major segment featuring Richard C. 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.  I wonder why he chooses not to
 correct this myth?

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.

 someone else.  More than one survivor believes the marriage occurred long
 before the early 60's.

 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."

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.

 Military Trained for Police Ops

 A retired colonel charges that the U.S. military's elite units are being
 trained in civilian areas in America to take over the role of domestic police.

 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.

It's my pleasure.  Incidentally I think that everyone would be happier here if there 
wasn't the immediate knee jerk reaction to confront that there is by some.  That IS 
NOT TO SAY that one should just dumbly accept whatever is posted without asking for 
facts and follow up.  Let's just not take it all so personally.  Remember if you post 
you face the same possibility of demands for facts and proof, etc.  It is the nature 
of the game, but one must remember that there is no mandate to kkep a running debate 
going forever, so plan your battles carefully and only respond where you feel prepared 
to continue, otherwise maybe it is best to let it ride.  Just some friendly advice to 
all.

  There have been several list members who have made the accusation that the

 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.

Re: [CTRL] Keep the Homophobes Out of Our Discussion

-Caveat Lector-

It surely an be argued that conspiratorial forces are at work behind some movements 
and that some homosexual agendas may be used for that purpose.  If one wanted to argue 
these issues, and leave out the ranting and raving of how it is "evil" or "bad" for 
people to be homosexual, or how "homosexuals are invading our . . . ", or "they are 
indoctrinating our children to become homosexual", then I think the discussion would 
be pertinent to this list, otherwise, it is off topic.  Be warned that if you say 
there is a conspiratorial force at work, then you better be prepared to name it and 
give a little bit of facts to support it.

Re: [CTRL] A law allowing the cops to break the law.

2000-09-17 Thread tenebroust

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.

 P align=justifyEDMONTON -- A federal proposal to give cops leeway to break the
 law - and even commit violent acts - to bolster investigations is getting
 nervous looks from the legal community. 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. BRBRThe special liability protection proposed by the
 paper would kick in when the officer got clearance from a "senior law
 enforcement official" designated by the Crown. BRBRBut in cases where
 communication with that senior officer isn't possible, the cop could make a
 field decision to go ahead and do the crime. BRBR"It's a slippery slope, and
 one never knows what's at the bottom of it," said local criminal lawyer Robbie
 Davidson. BRBR"I can't see how this is justified." BRBRConst. Grant Obst
 can. The head of the Canadian Police Association said police need to be able to
 bend the rules occasionally in order to fight organized crime. BRBR"There
 are situations where we're better equipped to infiltrate criminal organizations
 if we're able to ... compromise the law in certain situations," he said.
 BRBRAnd Zigayer said the white paper policy wouldn't protect a cop if a
 subsequent criminal trial found he went too far. BRBR"The officer would face
 prosecution for the crime, and the evidence he gathered would be thrown out," he
 said. BRBRAn Alberta Justice spokesman, meanwhile, said the department has
 "reservations" about the use-of-force provision. He wouldn't elaborate.
 BRBRThe lawyers, justice ministers and police will get their chance to
 critique the paper Oct. 5 when the feds hold a special round table on their
 proposals. /P/DIV/DIV/BODY/HTML

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 think Aleisha is QUITE RIGHT on all of this. 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!" That
 homosexuality was brought up discretely at the high school level. I was at
 that Forum for several months, gathering information, getting into their
 heads. 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".

 If you doubt that NAZI propaganda techniques are behind the homosexual
 militancy, you have read "The Pink Swatstika"? Here, it's available at
 amazon.com:
 
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0964760932/o/qid=969069093/sr=8-1/ref=aps_sr_b_1_3/102-4768859-4079362

 Scroll down and read the reviews. See what you think of it.

 Makes one wonder about those men dressed in black leather, chains, and
 wearing Nazi hats. They say it's a "costume", but I think they've read "The
 Pink Swatstika".

 No Nessie - Boy Scouts do not push their beliefs upon those who do not
 believe in their high standards..a sodomist is a sodomist - let them
 stay with their own and form their own boy and girl scouts, if they can
 figure where to put what - do they have boys in the girls dorms or do
 they prefer to have girls and girls in one dorm, and boys and boys in
 one dorm..would you want your kid on a camp out with any of them?

 This Gay Pride is a lound mouthed minority trying to butt in where they
 are not wanted and will not be condoned.   Let they form their own
 Scouts, Reno for the little girls, and Barney Franks for their little
 boys..how sweet that would be.

 Let them form their own homosexual churches and push all the sodomy they
 want - let them all die of AIDS and and love for all I care - just keep
 away from me and mine.   To each his own.

 Nobody seemed to much care until an issue was made of it.note the
 queer Republican at the conventin - he spoke as a man, not a queer; and
 note the queers at the Democrat Convention who run as queers these days

Re: [CTRL] Murder and Drugs in Arkansas

2000-09-17 Thread tenebroust

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.

 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.

Re: [CTRL] Holocaust Museum Sued for Memorializing

2000-09-17 Thread tenebroust

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.

 Precisely why, if you love your children, you do NOT put them in public

 you don't think you know enough to teach your children, think again.
 You taught them how to talk, how to walk, how to go potty, how to eat,
 how to dress themselves, how to brush their teeth, how to comb their
 hair if you can do that, you can surely teach them how to read, how
 to write, how to do arithmetic, how to put together a coherent
 thought... sometimes you learn alongside your children. You get
 together with other parents who care enough to do the same, and you
 exchange ideas, you trade expertise (you teach my kids to change a
 tire, I'll teach your kids how to bake bread), and you give each other
 support. You make the effort, and you find a way, and the job gets
 done.

Re: [CTRL] NAZI POLICY TOWARD HOMOSEXUALS

2000-09-17 Thread tenebroust

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

 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. I keep reading accusations that this one and that
 one is saying that but I cannot locate one instance of anybody claiming such
 a thing.  Guess if you want to argue, one thing is as good as another.

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.

 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.

Quite true.  The connection in Vietnam devolved to the drug business which the CIA had

his being in office did.  The war served as excellent cover for drug smuggling and 
huge profits by our so-called intelligence agencies and the Big Businesses which back 
them.

 Correction.
 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 "blood and death" that WILL be perpetrated by Germans in the future that
 we should quietly and humanely exterminate them all now?

Re: [CTRL] Fiction is stranger than truth?

2000-08-13 Thread tenebroust

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'

2000-08-11 Thread tenebroust

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).

 *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.

Re: [CTRL] Jeffrey MacDonald DNA Timeline--Green Beret Family Slaughter

2000-08-07 Thread tenebroust

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.

 Justice Dept. DNA Stonewall indicates cover-up?

 The Murder Night, February 17, 1970

 On a cold, rainy night at Ft. 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."  
MacDonald told the MPs, "She carried a flickering light, perhaps a candle.

 Background on the use of DNA testing to disprove convictions
 The chain of events since Dr. MacDonald
 won the right to conduct DNA testing in October, 1997

 1. 1989-90: First use of DNA in a criminal case, using only nuclear DNA,
 which requires a relatively large sample in good condition.
 2. 1996: FBI Laboratory begins using DNA in criminal cases, utilizing both
 nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. 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
