[CTRL] Der kursk!
Title: Der kursk! At this moment, Russian prosecutors base their conclusions on four major facts: 1. The is a history of collision between American and Russian submarines in the Barents Sea. 2. Three US Navy submarines were present in the area of the Northern Fleet's exercise at the time of the Kursk accident. 3. Immediately after the sinking of Kursk, one of the American submarines left the Barents Sea to dock in Norway for repairs. The submarine was followed by Russian reconnaissance planes and made an attempt to elude them. 4. NATO officials refused an official request from the Russian government for an objective inspection of the external hull of USS Memphis. http://www.aeronautics.ru/nws002/kursk001.htm Comrades: 1. First of all, Eye Have no idea what really happened to the Kursk. But I would say that the idea of super modern space age submarines with incredible Tom Clancy 'Red October' type capabilities and sonar, that if indeed these guys run into one another, then the public (ours and theirs) are being bilked out of billions of dollars. Weegee Boards cost a lot less. 2. So what's new? 3. Again, so what? 4. These guys (Generals) have been thumbing their noise's at one another from the beginning. Putin and Clinton may be joined at the hip but their respective military leaders have been giving one another the finger (plucking the yew) for decades. No matter how high conspiricies run, there are always cross currents, ie, guys running their own programs. In other words, why should we confirm or disconfirm anything for the Russkies? All out cooporation would be more suspecious than our (ok; not really mine or yours, but somebodies) military agreeing wholeheartedly to help them/ Sig Heil!
[CTRL] Sudan: Oil for the Taking
-Caveat Lector- .. From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "conspiracy posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sudan: Oil for the Taking Date: Thursday, September 14, 2000 7:48 PM Part I Baroness Cox and the Chinese Connection The August 27th unsubstantiated story emanating from the London Telegraph, flashed around the internet at light speed. It alleged that 700,000 Chinese troops had amassed in Sudan, ready to slaughter the alleged Christian rebels in Southern Sudan. Within 24 hours the story was debunked as preposterous. But that does not prevent it from being repeated and even exaggerated further. Like most lies that kill, the China tale contains a grain of truth expanded to bizarre proportions. What is the truth about war, oil and Christianity in Sudan? The US press and thousands of church journals and newsletters pass along reports like the China tale as fact. But under the light of logic and experience, both the story of 700,000 Chinese and the tale of a "Christian" army in southern Sudan are about equally false. Both appear to be figments of a well-oiled and financed propaganda organization, started by House of Lords member Baroness Caroline Cox. She has now tipped her hand that her quest, like that of the Chinese, is for the oil fields of Sudan. It seems likely someone is financing her to this end. Over a year ago, We Hold These Truths published MISSIONARIES, MERCENARIES, MISSILES AND MONEY which stated that we believe that the oil-starved State of Israel is behind Ms. Cox's campaign. (http://www.whtt.org/990927cc.htm) In order to understand the fever for an international war against the government of Sudan and its coveted oil field, a brief look at Sudan's past is of value. Historians are fond of saying, "History repeats itself." In fact, just as winning football teams repeat the plays that work, powerful men repeat in the present, those acts that brought success in the past. History is just the result of these repeated acts. Today, the third battle of Khartoum is on the drawing board. The booty today is not the vast cotton plantations in the crescent of the White and Blue Nile rivers, as it was at the turn of the 20th century -- it is Sudan's oil! But the "plays" of those that would steal oil from the Sudanese are much the same as the plays used a century ago. Let us see how these men will do their best to make history repeat itself in Sudan. It was at dawn in Sudan on a warm September morning in 1898 when the British, with a huge force of more than 20,000 men, 100 guns, and gunboats of the Royal navy. began their attack on the native army that guarded the open south front to the city of Khartoum. Youthful journalist Winston Churchill was there, and British war correspondent, G.W. Stevens, wrote, "It was not a battle, but an execution." British General Kirchner suspended the battle for lunch. After eating lightly, he rode his white charger leisurely across the plain that had once held an opposing army. Mangled black bodies of about 10,000 men and numerous animals lay in heaps. None were alive by this time, as the General's policy was to take no Muslim prisoners, and the expert mounted Royal Lancers had shot or impaled the wounded and prisoners on the blades of their feared eight-foot lancers. Most of the 50,000 Khalifa warriors who attempted to defend the 34,000 inhabitants of Khartoum were armed with spears and obsolete guns. General Kirchner continued the "execution" of remaining tribes and caravans for several months. In one documented and embarrassing case, he dragged a captured and chained black Muslim leader through the city behind a horse, to the horror of the English people back home. England had once more colonized Sudan as a giant cotton farm. The "Muslim Revolt" was over. According to English Historian Alan Moorehead's, "The White Nile" the population of Sudan was reduced by 50%--to barely two million-- during the terrible years of British conquest and rule in the last-half of the 19th century. Sudan was only target practice for the brutality of the conquest of the African Gold mines four years later, commonly known as the Boer War, only four years later. English Army applied some of the brutality learned in Sudan to commandeer the world's greatest gold camps in South Africa. The British applied similar tactics to the white Dutch farmers of the Veld. Its army captured and interned the wives and children of almost every Boer farmer who was not at home to protect them, and burned their farms to the ground. By English records, more than half of the 25,000 Boers killed in the war were women and children deliberately starved and unprotected. The British came to Sudan for cotton and sweet revenge. Now another of their

While we're on the subject of Bob's interesting postings, and how "if ya follow the ships...", here's something Bob posted to your list this past winter which was REALLY interesting (if memory serves, Das Goat also thanked him for posting such "classic Bucky"). an exerpt from: "Critical Path" Legally Piggily, by R. Buckminster Fuller -repost- Meanwhile in history, we have millennia of people venturing forth on the world's waters-developing the first rafts, which had to go where the ocean currents took them; then the dugouts, with which they paddled or catamaraned and sailed in preferred directions; and finally the ribbed-and-planked ship, suggested to them by the stout spine and rib cage of the whales, seals and humans-stoutly keeled and ribbed, deep-bellied ships. With their large ships made possible by this type of construction, sailors came to cross the great seas carrying enormous cargoes-vastly greater cargoes than could be carried on the backs of humans or animals. Ships could take the short across-the-bay route instead of the around-the-bay mountain route. The Phoenicians, Cretans, and the Mycenaeans, together, in fleets of these big-ribbed and heavily planked ships, went to Troy and besieged it. Up to this time the besiegers of Troy had come overland, and they soon ran out of food. But the Troy-besieging Greeks and Cretans came to Troy in ships, which they could send back for more supplies. This terminally-turned-around voyaging back to the supply sources and return to the line of battle was called their "line of supply." The new line-of-supply masters-the Greeks-starved out the Trojans. The Trojans thought they had enough food but had not reckoned on the people besieging them having these large ships. The Trojan horse was the large wooden ship-that did the task of horses-out of whose belly poured armed troops. At this time the power structure of world affairs shifts from control by the city-state to the masters of the lines of supply. At this point in the history of swiftly evolving, multibanked, oarand sail-driven fighting ships, the world power-structure control shifts westward to Italy. While historians place prime emphasis on the Roman legions as establishing the power of the Roman Empire, it was in fact the development of ships and the overseas line of supply upon which its power was built-by transporting those legions and keeping them supplied. Go to Italy, and you will see all the incredibly lovely valleys and great caste/los commanding each of those valleys such as you saw in the typical city-states, and you can see that none of those walls has ever been breached. Also in Italy-in the northeastern corner-is Venice, the headquarters of the water-people. The Phoenicians~phonetically the Venetians-had their south Mediterranean headquarters in Carthage in northern Africa. In their western Mediterranean and Atlantic venturings the Phoenicians became the Veekings. The Phoenicians-venetiansin their ships voyaged around the whole coast of Italy and sent in their people to each caste, one by one. The Venetians had an unlimited line of supply, and the people inside each costello did not. The people inside were starved out. Thus, all of the regional masters of the people in Italy hated the Venetians-Phoenicians... veekings who were able to do this. There being as yet no Suez Canal, the new world power structure centered in the ship mastery of the line of supply finally forcing the Roman Empire to shift its headquarters to Constantinople some ten centuries after the fall of Troy. The Roman emperor-pope's bodyguards were the Veekings-Vikings, the water-peoples' most powerful frontier fighters. The line of supply from Asia to Constantinople was partially caravan-borne and partially water-borne via Sinkiang-Khyber Pass-Afghanistan or via the Sea of Azov, the Caspian and the Black seas. From Constantinople, the western Europe-bound traffic was rerouted from overland to waterway routes. Because the Asia-to-Constantinople half of the trading was more land-borne-via-caravans, whose routes were dominated by the city-state-mastering Turks, Constantinople in due course was taken over by the Turks who established the Byzantine Empire in the Aegean Sea and Asia Minor. Before leaving the subject of the great power-structure struggle for control of the most important, greatest cargo-tonnage-transporting most profitable, Asia-to-Europe trade routes, we must note that the strength of the Egyptian Empire was predicated upon its pre-Suez function as a trade route link between Asia and Europe via the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, overland caravan to the Nile, and then water-borne to Alexandria, or via Somaliland, overland to the headwaters of the Nile, and thence to Alexandria. The latter route was not economically

Now this literature as captioned aboveo is not exactly liberal, or is it...someone had asked what I thought about the demand in the bible as what to do with people who do not live by the high standards set by the Talmud and Old Testament.for instance, sodomites should be killed and I did want to know where Joe Lieberman stood on thisfrankly I would take the Old Testament and have it recodified? So in my researched based on a very unique calendar code found in an old 1954 edition of a particular biblethese directives in the bible are being carried out by unknown hands, namely, the Mafiawho take every word very literally and carry out orders, orders issued by the Godfathers.in certain secret societies initiates have a Godfather aka mentor, who brings them in for final initiaton and as in psalms they re placed in families, and hence cosidered "made men".Some say to reach this unholy state they must commit a murder and be able to prove who did what. So when in Rome do as the Romans..this applies to Israel as well. But as Martin Luther King said, I Had a Dreamyet the Old Testament demands the dramers of dreams SHALL be slain.so KING Playing a Moses, was gunned down on a balcony overlooking the promised land in a very well planned murder..CFR Wurf's Union, brought King to his death and as in Dallas, people todoay wonder who did what, but most realy do not care. Strange though religion has never been a test for qualification to run for President or Vice Presidentso we still have a high tribunal meeting at midnight judging who will live and who will die? Okay for Lieberman to spout off the Old Testament but not for little Christian children to say a simple prayer in school? The entire operation of the Mafia is built about the Old Testamentbut then what better bok to use than the bible which condones genocide and sets such high standards for - why the hell should I care, I do not go to church.

S. Sean has many inside connections to 'those in the know.' He stated his connections informed him that Clinton attended a recent international conference for the NWO (Bilderbergers ?) where he told the wealthy, powerful and secret elite group of men that he had made everything ready for the United States to be taken over if they wanted him to proceed. They responded by telling Clinton that Bush had their blessing to be the next president and that if he, Clinton, tried anything, "they would kill him." Sean also stated that someone has put a curse on the presidency resulting in a pattern that has emerged of presidents dying in office who were elected in a year ending in a zero, as in 2000. He stated that it is possible whoever gets elected this time may die in office somehow; i.e., as Harding did - elected in 1920 - dying of a heart attack in 1923 in San Francisco.

In the meeting, Al-Kharafi underlined the important role of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the region and described Iran as a `great and important' country. He said the Kuwaiti national assembly is for the friendship between the two countries and expressed hope that the exchange of visits will strengthen relations. The Kuwait official said, "Stability and calm bring blessing to the people of the region and the foreigners should not be permitted to make mischief among brothers." Al-Kharafi added the Kuwaiti parliament tries to bring the countries closer at the regional and international levels. He said the efforts made by the interior ministries of the two countries to expand the bilateral relations are very `important and valuable' and expressed hope that important steps will be taken in this regard. Mousavi-Lari called the current discussions between the officials of the two countries `positive and constructive' and said the two sides should go beyond the generalities and work out the details. The meeting was also attended by Kuwait's interior minister Sheikh Mohammad Khaled Al-Sabah, a group of Kuwaiti parliamentarians, the delegation accompanying Iran's interior minister and Iran's ambassador to Kuwait Ali Jannati.

[CTRL] Kursk Update
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Kursk Update Date: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 11:49 AM According the Russian media source Venik's Aviation, Russian investigators are still claiming that the Kursk, the Russian submarine that recently sank, was struck by a US submarine, specifically, the USS Memphis. They are said to claim the USS Memphis was tracked leaving the area headed toward a Norwegian port where it has been receiving repairs. Russian investigators have allegedly asked to inspect the exterior of the USS Memphis but the Pentagon will not allow them to even look at the Memphis, the exterior of which apparently has become a top-secret despite its having been openly photographed in the past. Another Russian media source recently caste doubt on the sub-collision theory: http://Gazeta.ru/manilodka.shtml Michael Rivero has a page devoted to the sub-collision theory: http://whatreallyhappened.com/KURSK/kursk.html Here's a recent report (9/11/00) from Venik's Aviation: http://www.aeronautics.ru/nws002/kursk001.htm As of Sept. 11, 2000, Russian investigators believe that Kursk collided with the USS Memphis of the US Navy. This submarine is an experimental platform used by the US Navy to test new weapons and other systems. It was manufactured in 1977 and modified for special-purpose operation in 1989 and again in 1994. The collision was registered by Norwegian and Russian seismologists as a weak "seismic event," which was followed by a powerful explosion 2 minutes 15 seconds later. There is a number of scientifically-valid explanations as to how a collision could have caused an explosion aboard Kursk 135 seconds later. The exact mechanism of such a process is now being studied. The USS Memphis was detected by the Russian nuclear cruiser Peter the Great at the bottom of the sea not far from Kursk. The American submarine released a rescue buoy and transmitted a coded emergency radio signal on NATO frequencies, requesting an emergency entry to a Norwegian naval base. The USS Memphis was able to recover from the collision (it was not as heavily damaged as Kursk, because the collision did not result in any explosions aboard the American submarine) and, after pulling down the rescue buoy, left the scene of the accident. The submarine's departure was also registered by the Russian cruiser. The USS Memphis was initially tracked by a Kamov antisubmarine helicopter based aboard Peter the Great. Later, two Il-38 antisubmarine aircraft, piloted by Lt. Col. Dergunov and Lt. Col. Dovzhenko, deployed hydro- acoustic buoys and detected the USS Memphis traveling at only 5 knots. The submarine was continuously tracked by Russian vessels, aircraft and satellites until it reached the Norwegian port in Bergen. During the last reconnaissance flight of an Il-38 on August 18, the aircraft's pilot - Lt. Col. Dergunov - was unable to detect the submarine due to strong EM and hydro-acoustic interference from NATO defenses. Later that day the USS Memphis docked in Bergen. The Russian Military Prosecutor General's office announced that they are prepared to charge the senior crew members of an unnamed vessel that collided with Kursk in accordance with the Article 263 of the Russian Criminal Code. The name of the vessel is know to the investigators but has not been made public. It was mentioned that the Pentagon has denied the official request by the Russian government to inspect the outer hull of the USS Memphis. After staying in Bergen in a dock for a short period of time the USS Memphis left for a British naval base. Again, the American submarine was tracked by the Russian Navy and by satellites. Even the most furious opponents of the collision theory are bewildered by the Pentagon's refusal to allow an external visual inspection of the USS Memphis. This old submarine has been seen at public events, photographed, videotaped and at least its external features ceased to be a secret many years ago. Clearly, if the USS Memphis did not collide with Kursk, even a brief inspection of its hull would be quite enough to lift any suspicions. Such an inspection could have been carried out quickly and easily, because the USS Memphis was sitting in a dock in Bergen. Americans refused a simple and reasonable request from Russia. This is viewed by many as a de facto admission of guilt. The situation is aggravated by the fact, that the Pentagon officials lied about the number of American submarines observing the Russian Navy exercise in the Barents Sea: the US military officials stated that there were two submarines, while there were three submarines. At this moment, Russian prosecutors base their conclusions on four major facts: 1. The is a history of collision between American and Russian submarines in the Barents Sea. 2. Three US Navy submarines were present in the area of the Northern Fleet's exercise at the time of the Kursk accident. 3. Immediately after the sinking of

Amazon.com Sales Rank: 916,476 Editorial Reviews Book Description In the 1980s, cocaine use skyrocketed in the U.S. As hundreds of tons of cocaine began flooding American cities, the U.S. government focused more and more of its resources on combatting it, and the CIA played a major role. However, with millions of dollars at stake, and the opportunity to surreptitiously influence the political and military outcomes of conflicts around the globe, the CIA quickly subverted the goals of the Drug War to suit its own purposes. Many of these later came to light as part of the Iran-Contra scandal and the California CIA-Contra cocaine story that broke in the San Jose Mercury News. Others, such as Operation Pseudo Miranda, remained cloaked in secrecy . . until now. Appealing to his derring-do and his interest in criminal justice, the CIA recruited Ken Bucchi directly out of quiet Murray State University. They put him through a rigorous training program at a secret base in the Nevada desert, then sent him off to fight the Colombian cocaine cartels. Bucchi quickly became a key operative. He tells of meeting with then CIA director William Casey and developing a plan-Pseudo Miranda-to make a deal with the "coke lords" that would enable the CIA to simultaneously abet and control the major cartels and to seize half of the cocaine being smuggled into the U.S. The story that unfolds is gripping. It involves harrowing missions into Colombia to destroy coca labs and interdict drug flights, encounters with the "Cocaine Cowboys" of Medellin, and running gun battles on the high seas with smugglers. It is laced with mortal danger, profound ethical dilemmas, bravery, forbidden love, and betrayal. In the end, things go terribly wrong for the Miranda team, but Bucchi survives to tell the shocking truth about the CIA and America's war on drugs. He tells about secret meetings * With Vice President George Bush, CIA Director William Casey and agent Claire George. * With mid-level officials from different government agencies, including the DEA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the FBI and the Department of Defense. * With the notorious "coke lords" Pablo Escobar, Manuel Noriega and Fabio Ochoa, among others. He reveals secret missions * To Zurich, Switzerland, to negotiate clandestine deals with heads of the dominant cartels. * To Korea to feed disinformation to reporter Carl Bernstein. He reveals some interesting tidbits about the media and the courts * Frank Rubino, Manuel Noriega's defense attorney, said on "Larry King Live" that the operation had close ties to his client and mentioned Ken Bucchi by name. * Sam Donaldson interviewed Ken Bucchi on "Prime Time Live," but the show was cancelled because it was too hot to air. * Investigative journalist Carl Bernstein sought him out in regard to the CIA's illegal drug activity. About the Author Kenneth C. Bucchi has lived an adventurous life. He holds a B.S. in Criminology; served six years as a Captain in the Air Force, fought in the Gulf War, and worked four years as both a private and corporate investigator. In 1999 he wrote Inside Job: Deep Undercover as a Corporate Spy (1-883955-28-9, Penmarin Books, 1999), which chronicles his experiences as a corporate investigator, and which Atlas Entertainment has optioned as a feature film.

[CTRL] A Tangled Web: A History of CIA Complicity in Drug International Trafficking:
-Caveat Lector- http://www.angelfire.com/id/ciadrugs/congress-cia-drug-history-doc.html - DUring 1998 congressional hearings on funding for the CIA and other intelligence agencies, Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.) entered into the Congressional Record "A Tangled Web: A History of CIA Complicity in Drug International Trafficking," which was written by the Institute for Policy Studies. It's a good short read and has some suprising characters, like Lucky Luciano, the notorious gangster who apparently earned a pardon due to his loyal work for the OSS (the precursor to the CIA), and Meyer Lansky, the mobster who ran the rackets in Havana, Cuba before Fidel Castro took power (Lansky escaped to Miami, Florida in the U.S.A. to wreck havoc in Miami for another 20 years). A Tangled Web: A History of CIA Complicity in Drug International Trafficking: WORLD WAR II The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), the CIA's parent and sister organizations, cultivate relations with the leaders of the Italian Mafia, recruiting heavily from the New York and Chicago underworlds, whose members, including Charles 'Lucky' Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Joe Adonis, and Frank Costello, help the agencies keep in touch with Sicilian Mafia leaders exiled by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Domestically, the aim is to prevent sabotage on East Coast ports, while in Italy the goal is to gain intelligence on Sicily prior to the allied invasions and to suppress the burgeoning Italian Communist Party. Imprisoned in New York, Luciano earns a pardon for his wartime service and is deported to Italy, where he proceeds to build his heroin empire, first by diverting supplies from the legal market, before developing connections in Lebanon and Turkey that supply morphine base to labs in Sicily. The OSS and ONI also work closely with Chinese gangsters who control vast supplies of opium, morphine and heroin, helping to establish the third pillar of the post-world War II heroin trade in the Golden Triangle, the border region of Thailand, Burma, Laos and China's Yunnan Province. 1947 In its first year of existence, the CIA continues U.S. intelligence community's anti-communist drive. Agency operatives help the Mafia seize total power in Sicily and it sends money to heroin-smuggling Corsican mobsters in Marseille to assist in their battle with Communist unions for control of the city's docks. By 1951, Luciano and the Corsicans have pooled their resources, giving rise to the notorious 'French Connection' which would dominate the world heroin trade until the early 1970s. The CIA also recruits members of organized crime gangs in Japan to help ensure that the country stays in the non-communist world. Several years later, the Japanese Yakuza emerges as a major source of methamphetamine in Hawaii. 1950 The CIA launches Project Bluebird to determine whether certain drugs might improve its interrogation methods. This eventually leads CIA head Allen Dulles, in April 1953, to institute a program for 'covert use of biological and chemical materials' as part of the agency's continuing efforts to control behavior. With benign names such as Project Artichoke and Project Chatter, these projects continue through the 1960s, with hundreds of unwitting test subjects given various drugs, including LSD. MAY 1970 A Christian Science Monitor correspondent reports that the CIA 'is cognizant of, if not party to, the extensive movement of opium out of Laos,' quoting one charter pilot who claims that 'opium shipments get special CIA clearance and monitoring on their flights southward out of the country.' At the time, some 30,000 U.S. service men in Vietnam are addicted to heroin. JUNE 1980 Despite advance knowledge, the CIA fails to halt members of the Bolivian militaries, aide by the Argentine counterparts, from staging the so-called 'Cocaine Coup,' according to former DEA agent Michael Levine. In fact, the 25-year DEA veteran maintains the agency actively abetted cocaine trafficking in Bolivia, where government officials who sought to combat traffickers faced torture and death at the hands of CIA-sponsored paramilitary terrorists under the command of fugitive Nazi war criminal (also protected by the CIA) Klaus Barbie. FEBRUARY 1985 DEA agent Enrique 'Kiki' Camerena is kidnapped and murdered in Mexico. DEA, FBI and U.S. Customs Service investigators accuse the CIA of stonewalling during their investigation. U.S. authorities claim the CIA is more interested in protecting its assets, including top drug trafficker and kidnapping principal Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo. APRIL 1989 The Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Communications, headed by Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, issues its 1,166-page report on drug corruption in Central America and the Caribbean. The subcommittee found that 'there was substantial evidence of drug smuggling through the war zone on the part of individual Contras, Contra
[CTRL] CIA protection of drug pipelines
-Caveat Lector- http://www.angelfire.com/id/ciadrugs/analysis.html - CIA protection of drug pipelines - Narco-colonialism in the 20th Century Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history. -- George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950 Years ago, the "beat poet" Allen Ginsberg had access to unfiltered Associated Press news feeds. Ginsberg had a habit of collecting the most interesting printouts from the teletype machines, when access to wire feeds was rare. Of the teletypes that Ginsberg collected, the ones that drew a straight line of CIA involvement in running opium for Vang Pao and the Hmong in Laos during the Vietnam war are the most memorable; they are the most memorable, not for their scant information, but for helping researchers like Alfred McCoy investigate the matter more deeply. Ginsberg, quite the tireless radical, had a habit of telling people the truth as he knew it, especially those in the establishment press. One particular newspaper man, New York Times columnist C.L. Sulzberger, didn't believe Ginsberg's portrayal of the CIA. Sulzberger, who later became editor-in-chief at the paper, became indignant when poet Allen Ginsberg accused the CIA of involvement in smuggling opium during the Vietnam War. But years later, on April 11, 1978, Sulzberger wrote: "Dear Allen, I fear I owe you an apology. I have been reading a succession of pieces about CIA involvement in the dope trade in Southeast Asia and I remember when you first suggested I look into this I thought you were full of beans. Indeed you were right and I acknowledge the fact plus sending my best personal wishes." [Signed, C.L. Sulzberger] Sulzberger wasn't unreasonable in doubting such an extraordinary claim, perhaps the onus was on Ginsberg to provide some evidence. The most difficult aspect of performing this kind of analysis is the admittedly thorny issue of extrapolating from what is known. This isn't necessarily an effort to make the CIA out as the absolute source of all the evil in the world. But, in what has been termed a 'unipolar world,' the CIA should certainly takes its fair share of the credit. In counterpoint, it could be argued that regardless of who is vying for influence in a region, if control over territory necessitates forging military alliances with those who control the coca plantations or the poppy fields, then the strategic end justifies the means. Covert war is still war and covert warriors make logical military choices; the USA has a habit of expanding its influence with whatever means are most convenient. And so it appears a most enduring strategy has become pulling economies along by their most easily-leveraged commodity. Wars are functionally the result of economic questions being answered with violence. Covert action and warfare march to the same tune. Perhaps the objective is to not so much blame the CIA as blame U.S. politicians. The CIA is an instrument of the American two party system, whereby the Democrats play innocent and the Republicans play ignorant. Let's be direct: The American two-party system sets policy. The CIA is in the business of executing those policies. If U.S. policy entails expanding the realm of U.S. influence, and it has to be done covertly, then the CIA readily opts to forge alliances with regional criminal enterprises. That's the way of covert action and warfare. But for the CIA to gain any level of influence, a quid-pro-quo arrangement is required. In exchange for that criminal enterprise working for the CIA in some capacity, the CIA has to somehow protect or promote a criminal enterprises' interests. Since the market for illicit narcotics is international, and the interests of the CIA is international, then the relationship is inevitable. Place the blame where you will. PIPELINES: Enter the protected narcotics pipeline. U.S. government protection can mean any number of things. But the documentary history shows that invoking the rubric of 'national security,' lifting customs barriers, granting immunity and nullifying criminal prosecutions in U.S. courts, have all been tactics employed by the U.S. intelligence community. These tactics functionally protect a drug pipeline; the protection may not be indefinite or grant unlimited impunity, but so long as a CIA alliance with a particular trafficker holds, the trafficker's pipelines become protected. Skirting and flouting the rule of law is normal protocol - understandably so, from the perspective of a covert warrior - except for many years, the CIA was generally proscribed from various operations within the borders of the U.S.A. (well, that law was skirted and flouted, too). Underscoring this assertion is a public admission by the CIA it had reached a secret agreement with the Department of Justice so its agents, contract agents and assets could deal drugs without fear of prosecution. These days, evidence presents itself in abundance. In October 1996, Jack Blum

The Hover Resolution The Heidelberg Declaration September 21, 1996 AS I SEE IT By Cynthia Tucker DRUGS? They want to talk about drugs in America? Before this sordid tale is finished with the telling, both Bob Dole, who injected rising drug use among adolescents into the presidential campaign, and Bill Clinton, who couldn't resist saying something back, may regret getting mired in the subject of illegal narcotics. Before this political season is over, each man may be forced to talk about an ugly chapter in the history of urban drug use that they would rather not confront: a scheme in which Latin American smugglers sold drugs in the American ghetto and used the profits to fund anti-Communist guerrillas in Nicaragua, all with the tacit approval of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). You haven't heard Dole or Clinton bring that up, have you? The story-reported by the San Jose Mercury News in a series called "Dark Alliance" and supported with exhaustive detail and volumes of documents-has set off a clamor for an investigation. The call has even been joined by retired Army General Barry McCaffrey, the Clinton administration's drug czar. The furor could force the Dole and Clinton campaigns to say something sensible about illegal narcotics in America, after all. There will be no admissions from Spy Central, of course. They will never admit that their obsession with enemies abroad allowed them to acquiesce to a scheme which ensnared thousands of their own citizens in the violence soaked web of crack cocaine. The renegades at the CIA have always operated in the shadows, beyond the reach of the laws which govern the rest of us. That does not seem to change-no matter how many times a president or a Senate committee promises to rein them in. But there need not be any admission of culpability from the CIA for the nation's leaders to acknowledge what those at ground zero of the crack epidemic have known all along: The socalled war on drugs has always been a war on the vulnerable black and brown poor. It did not take a major newspaper's account of the cynical exploitation of America's ghettos by Nicaraguan anti-Communists and their CIA handlers to tip us off to the simple truth that American lawmakers are much more interested in locking up black men than in reducing drug use. That is self-evident. This much we knew long before the Mercury News gave us the rest of the ugly story: The laws governing powdered cocaine, which is used and sold largely by whites, and crack cocaine, used and sold largely by blacks, are very different. It takes 100 times as much powdered co caine to land you in jail as it does crack. As a consequence of those disparate laws, thousands of young black men and women have been locked away for long stretches while their white peers get probation. It is because of the absurd "war on drugs" that on~third- begin one-third -of all black men in their 20s are under the jurisdiction of the criminal justice system-in jail, on parole or on probation. It is too late to save some of the young black men who were sucked into the violence spawned by the crack trade. They took too easily to dealing drugs and killing; they belong in prison. But there are countless black men and women who have committed no violent crimes who can still be salvaged with low-cost drug treatment programs. They do not belong in prison for succumbing to a drug pushed on them by the CIA protected operatives who flooded Los Angeles with cocaine so cheap any fool could buy it. And many fools did. This "war on drugs" was always a phony way to make politicians look like they were protecting us from criminals.
[CTRL] West funds anti-opium fungus
-Caveat Lector- http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_951000/9 51082.stm Sunday, 1 October, 2000, 10:37 GMT 11:37 UK West funds anti-opium fungus Pleosporafungus: A biological weapon for the drugs war By Diplomatic correspondent James Robbins The UK and the US are funding research on a new biological weapon in an effort to destroy the heroin trade. The research, by former Soviet scientists in Uzbekistan, is being supervised by the United Nations Drug Control Programme (UNDCP). Professor Abdusattar: One test tube kills 10 sq metres of poppies But there are doubts about the safety of the killer fungus they have developed, and the legality of any plan to spray the spores over Afghanistan - the source of most of Europe's poppy opium for heroin. The BBC has obtained unique access to the laboratory across the border from Afghanistan, in Uzbekistan, where the fungus is now being tested. Huge step It has filmed in the laboratory and spoken to the scientist in charge, Professor Abdukarimov Abdusattar, as well as to a British scientist in Bristol, Dr Mike Greaves, who oversees the work on behalf of the UNDCP. Dr Greaves: It's safe "to the best of our knowledge" Professor Abdusattar says one test tube contains millions of spores - sufficient to destroy 10 square metres of poppies by attacking the roots and killing them from inside. But moving from research paid for largely by the UK and the US to using what amounts to a biological weapon would be a huge step. Some scientists are worried the culture could mutate and attack other plants, or harm animals and humans. Also, spraying the fungus over the poppy fields of Afghanistan without permission from the Taleban regime there, which is unlikely to be granted, could amount to illegal biological warfare. Afghanistan may deny permission to use the weapon However, Dr Greaves says the fungus appears so far to be safe. "We are still working on the safety aspects, to be absolutely sure," he told the BBC's Panorama programme. "At the moment we have tested, for example, 130 other plant species and it does not affect any of those." You can see the whole of Panorama's investigation "Britain's secret war on drugs" on BBC One, on Monday at 2200 BST (2100 GMT).

During WWII the Queen mother refused to flee to the safety of Canada during he warmight add today, look how the Pentagon has put themselves in seige and the White House living in seige - and alleged underground facilities being built for the safety of these cowardly lions. What have they done to protect and defend the shores of our country? As Clinton hides behind the skirts of women to do his dirty work for him - leaving a body bag count from here to Canada to the Balkans I was thinking of the Queen Mother, who stayed with her peoplelike a George Patton - he often led his troops to battle at the front - not following behind like one of Hooker's hookers. Nice story here for anyone interested in the last true Monarch of the people.. Reproduced here for your convenience..so over here what does the public do now that Clinton has given away our neutron bomb secrets - to China and any enemy we have in the world..where will Big Al Gore hideout - and, will they do anything to protect the children? Queen Mother is the last of her kind. Saba Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, CI, GCVO, GBE The Queen Mother was born Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon on 4th August, 1900. She grew up on the family estate in Scotland and enjoyed an open and active childhood. Being born an aristocrat rather than a royal she was free from the constraints of royal children. However, Lady Elizabeth was no stranger to royalty and after a long courtship married Prince Bertie, the second son of King George V. After the abdication of King Edward VIII, Elizabeth and her husband became king and queen. Throughout the history of the English monarchy war has played an important role and for Elizabeth this was no exception. As a child she had tended wounded soldiers from the First World War and she now she found herself queen to a nation during World War II. During the war the urban areas of London were blitzed by the Nazis and Elizabeth would often visit the bomb sites to help boost morale. Pleaded with by many to leave war-torn Britain for the comparative safety of Canada, the gallant lady, in concert with her husband the king, refused. After Buckingham Palace was bombed during an air raid Elizabeth said that at last she could look the blitzed east end of London in the face as her home had suffered the same fate. On the death of her husband in 1952 she retired her position as Queen and her daughter became Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth adopted the title 'Queen Mother' to avoid any confusion that may arise from having the same name as her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen Mother has a hectic diary that includes state, military, civic and charity engagements. Although the Queen Mother ceased to be queen 43 years ago she continues to act in something of a shadow role in support of her daughter. The Queen Mother has shown that she can move with the times and has secured a unique position of affection in the hearts of the public. She has a rare and valuable blend of dignity, grace, an understanding of non-royal life and a straightforwardly pleasant personality.

In a message dated 10/1/00 7:18:02 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The scripts were submitted as part of a deal under which TV networks received millions of dollars worth of financial credits for including positive anti-drug messages in their shows. http://www.foxnews.com/elections/093000/ogilvymather.sml White House Plays Hardball In Ad Payment Dispute Saturday, September 30, 2000 NEW YORK — The White House is withholding millions of dollars in payments to a major advertising firm after allegations that the firm may have overbilled the government for its work on a media campaign, The New York Times reported Saturday. The White House drug-policy office, which oversees the media campaign aimed at discouraging young people from using drugs, has held back about $13.5 million in payments on $187 million that has been billed by the firm, Ogilvy Mather, according to officials cited by the newspaper. A consultant hired by the White House to assess the charges found that Ogilvy's costs, particularly for labor, were "dramatically higher than even the high end of what is standard industry practice," according to an internal government memorandum cited by The Times. Officials of the White House agency, the Office of National Drug Control Policy, said there was no evidence that the company had engaged in fraud, the newspaper said. Howard G. Paster, a spokesman for Ogilvy, said it was routine for bills to be negotiated. He said the company expected to be paid for its work and did not expect a significant reduction in billing. The General Accounting Office began an inquiry into the contract in July, Robert H. Hass, the director of the office, told The Times. Hass said the agency has begun a full financial audit of the contract. Ogilvy is the primary government contractor in an anti-drug advertising and education effort called the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign. The campaign, which began in 1998, is expected to cost nearly $1 billion over five years. The campaign was criticized earlier this year, when it became known that popular television shows were submitting their scripts to the White House drug office. The scripts were submitted as part of a deal under which TV networks received millions of dollars worth of financial credits for including positive anti-drug messages in their shows.

[CTRL] The tyranny within
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/commentary-200092918712.htm THE WASHINGTON TIMES September 29, 2000 The tyranny within Paul Craig Roberts Tyranny is creeping up on us. If you don't believe it, consider the most prominent hallmarks of the Nazi and communist regimes, which sought to supplant democracy in the 20th century. In National Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union, there were no First Amendment rights. No one could voice an opinion contrary to the politically correct views enforced by the Gestapo and the KGB. Media and education were used to instill politically correct thinking and bring denunciation upon anyone who departed from politically correct thinking. This is precisely the situation that exists today in the vast majority of American colleges and universities. Verbal and facial expressions that are contrary to political correctness result in sensitivity training (a form of brainwashing) or expulsion for the offender, who may have done nothing more than laugh. If the source of mirth is an ethnic joke, a blonde joke or a hilarious claim by a multiculturalist, the hapless offender discovers that his constitutional protections do not exist. In Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, there were victim groups that were championed and oppressor groups that were suppressed. In Germany, the "victims" were Aryans, who were said to be under the financial hegemony of Jews. In the Soviet Union, the hegemonic group was the bourgeoisie, who allegedly held sway over an oppressed proletariat. In both countries, victims were permitted to exercise violent language and actions against oppressors. In the United States today, white heterosexual able-bodied males constitute the hegemonic group. Everyone else is a member of a victim group. In Germany and the Soviet Union, the abstract and imaginary group roles of oppressor and victim were given a frightful reality by ideologues. Race and class categories became the basis for discrimination and new legal systems that favored victims' groups with preferences. On American campuses, multicultural ideology has revived the concepts of race and class oppression, and added new ones based on gender and sexual orientation. Men oppress women, and heterosexuals oppress homosexuals. According to multiculturalists, our culture and values reflect nothing but the arbitrary domination of society by white heterosexual males.

[CTRL] Falun Gong Marks China National Day with Protests
-Caveat Lector- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001001/ts/religion_china_dc_1. html Sunday October 1 1:49 AM ET Falun Gong Marks China National Day with Protests By Jeremy Page BEIJING (Reuters) - Hundreds of followers of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement marred China's National Day celebrations on Sunday with huge protests in a packed Tiananmen Square, witnesses said. Police detained several hundred Falun Gong members, kicking, punching and pulling them by the hair as they herded them onto buses after protests broke out all round the vast plaza crammed with foreign and Chinese tourists, they said. The defiant protests on the 51st anniversary of Communist rule highlight Beijing's failure to stamp out the group, which has set an alarming precedent with its relentless campaign of civil disobedience since it was banned last year. One group unfurled a red banner saying ``Falun Gong is good'' below a huge portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong looking over the square, but plainclothes officers soon swept from the crowds and wrestled them away. Others among the largely elderly or middle-aged protesters assumed the lotus position or formed human chains, and many waved and signaled to puzzled onlookers as they were whisked off to a police station nearby. After more than an hour of protests, police completely cleared the square for about thirty minutes before allowing tourists to pour back in limited numbers. Millions of Chinese have jammed shops and mobbed tourist spots on the first day of the week-long National Day holiday as the government urged them to do their patriotic duty and spend more money. Tight Security Security around Beijing has been tight ahead of the October 1 anniversary -- one of many ``sensitive dates'' in China when those with gripes against the government try to stage public protests, often on Tiananmen Square, the nation's political heart. But Falun Gong members have defied the heavy police presence with similar protests almost daily since the government banned the group in July last year and branded it an ''evil cult.'' Next month will bring the first anniversary of China's parliament rubber-stamping a draconian law against cults, which paved the way for tough sentences on Falun Gong leaders. Beijing says it has jailed about 150 organizers of the spiritual group, which it accuses of causing 1,500 deaths and 600 cases of mental illness. Falun Gong says thousands of adherents are in labor camps without trial, and a Hong Kong-based human rights group says at least 52 adherents have died in government custody since the ban. In the most recent reported case, a Chinese policeman who was also a Falun Gong follower died in a labor camp in northern Hebei province, a Hong Kong-based rights group said last week. Thorn In The Side Falun Gong has now become a major thorn in Beijing's side, winning sympathy from other religious groups and dissidents and adding fuel to Western criticism of its human rights record, especially on freedom of religion. Religion in China, restricted to official state-backed churches, has been under the spotlight this week due to a bitter dispute over the Vatican's plan to canonise 120 Chinese martyrs on National Day. State media have also voiced alarm at the notion of democracy activists and ethnic separatists in the restive regions of Tibet and Xinjiang copying Falun Gong's campaign of peaceful protests. This month, exiled poet Huang Beiling called on China's intellectuals to follow the example of Falun Gong meditators by fighting government oppression with civil disobedience. China said on Thursday Falun Gong was scheming with ''Western anti-China forces'' including Tibetans, Taiwanese and exiled dissidents bent on toppling the government. Falun Gong, which combines meditation and exercise with a doctrine rooted loosely in Buddhist and Taoist teachings, first rattled the ruling Communist Party with an unexpected 10,000-strong protest in Beijing in April 1999. ### By definition, a government has no conscience.

THE BUILDING CONTINUES YESHUA POPULATION UP PLO ATTEMPTING TO 'ERASE' THE BORDERS SYRIA TESTS SCUD-D MISSILE THIS WEEK IN JEWISH HISTORY ** NOTICE ** Redemption In The End-Times Prophecy Conference PALESTINIANS RIOT IN THE LAND: Thursday morning Likud leader MK [Member of Knesset] Ariel Sharon accompanied by a Likud delegation, spent one-hour on the Temple Mount, the place of the First, Second and soon-to-be Third Temples. Sharon stated that a Jew wishing to visit an area in the capital of Jerusalem may do so without having to explained his intentions. His visit gave the Palestinians an excuse to began the violence that has lasted, as of this report, three days and has killed 15 Palestinians, injured over 500 others -- both Jewish and Palestinians -- and caused widespread violence throughout Eretz Israel. Sharon had notified the police earlier in the week who, in turn, notified the Waqf (Muslim administration on the Temple Mount). Contrary to the belief that it was Sharon's visit that caused the rioting, very few Palestinians responded to calls to come to the Temple Mount to protest. Palestinian youth also steered clear of the Temple Mount even though local schools were closed to allow them join in "the defense of Jerusalem". It was not until after Sharon left that the violence started. A large number of officers escorting Sharon were hurt when Arabs hurled large stones at them. Hundreds of Arabs, following their prayers on the Temple Mount Friday, hurled rocks and other objects at Jewish worshipers at the Western Wall below. Police fired rubber-coated bullets at the stone throwers, dispersed a majority of the 22,000 Muslim worshipers and evacuated Jews praying in the area. Arabs also threw stones at Israeli ambulances that arrived on the scene. The violence spread to other locations and cities, as well. Faisal Husseini, who holds the Palestinian Authority's (PA- PLO) Jerusalem portfolio, was working to incite the large crowd. Israeli-Arab MKs were also among the instigators of the violence. "Murderers of Palestinians!" and "This is not your Temple Mount" were among the shouts heard from the Arab MKs. NO 'CEASEFIRE' SAYS PLO: Israel and the Palestinians did not agree to a ceasefire Saturday, contrary to Israeli statements, said Mohammed Dahlan, the head of PLO preventive security in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army's chief of staff, Shaul Mofaz, had earlier told reporters that he had spoken to Dahlan and his counterpart in charge of Yesha (Judea and Samaria), Jibril Rajoub, and that the two sides agreed on a ceasefire to begin at 4:00 p.m. (1300 GMT). Separately, Dahlan told the Qatari television network AL-JAZEERA that the PLO would demand that "all Israeli soldiers responsible for what happened" be tried. IDF SOLDIER KILLED BY 'PEACE PARTNER': A Border police officer, Chief Inspector Yossi Tabaja, 27, from Ramle was killed and another Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier was lightly injured Friday when a PLO 'paramilitary policeman' opened fire on them. The terrorist attack took place in the town of Kalkilya, located east of Kfar Saba in Area A (under Palestinian administrative and security control), YEDIOT AHARONOT ON-LINE reported. The terrorist was a member of a joint Israel/PA-PLO security patrol. The PLO has announced that the terrorist is in 'custody'. Earlier in the week, Israel suspended joint patrols in the Gaza area with senior IDF commanders stating that in many cases, PA-PLO military personnel are part of the problem rather than the solution, explaining that not only do they not participate in stopping violence, in many cases they are part of the
[CTRL] Death List
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! http://www.americanpartisan.com/ The American Partisan - Moral Sense Death List by Lawrence Henry Monday, September 18, 2000 The other day, Rush Limbaugh took a phone call from a calm, reasonable-sounding man who said that there were some Americans who simply weren't going to stand for being steamrollered by liberalism any more, that they were prepared - indeed, expected - to have to fight an armed revolution to take their country back. Rush gets calls like that periodically. As he always does, he asked the caller where the battles of this revolution would be fought, and how. This particular caller did not (as such callers usually do not) provide any clear answers, perhaps because he hadn't thought the subject through completely. But the man was right about one thing: There definitely are a number of people in the United States who are armed, ready, and waiting - simply for some tipping point - to start shooting. They just don't call up talk shows and say so. How many of them are there? Somewhere between 50,000 and a million. Enough to cause a whole lot of trouble. Yes, some of them nurture romantic dreams of fighting guerrilla battles in the mountains. Plenty of others - enough - know that won't work. They know that revolutions are not won by pitched battles. They know that no insurrectionary force could stand up to the firepower of the United States military. No, instead, they have death lists. They plan assassinations. They know that some few - perhaps a few thousand - key people direct the legal, regulatory, and cultural movements they despise. And they have adopted a simple credo, one by one: "I'll get two of them before they get one of me." This revolutionary cadre, entirely unorganized, simmering like an unfocused viral epidemic, occupies the core of a number of discontented populations. In the broadest sense, they constitute the armed wing of what political activist Grover Norquist called "the leave-us-alone coalition." Make no mistake, the powers that be know this. And they're afraid. That fear lies behind the moves in the liberal establishment to outlaw home schooling, state by state; to oppose school vouchers, battleground by battleground (have to preserve that indoctrination); to create military-style law enforcement units in agencies like the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and in Special Weapons and Tactical Squads (SWAT teams) of local police departments; to demoralize and weaken the military (which has a natural and historic affinity for patriotism and "leave us alone" sentiments); to hype up executive security forces; to confiscate guns; to hamstring free enterprise through lawsuits - these and hundreds of other establishment efforts to consolidate dictatorial power. These potential revolutionaries are resigned to being hated, demonized as nut cases, religious fanatics, gap-toothed idiots, yokels, and benighted, laughable fools. They know that a few deaths can make a big difference (look how badly the Republican party has missed Lee Atwater). They're resigned to forcing a national police action. They're willing, like classic Leninists, to provoke a crackdown simply to rouse revolutionary chaos. As revolutionaries, these assassins-to-be also know that they probably cannot win their fight. High-profile killings will certainly be treated as terrorism by the government and the media, working in lockstep. Some assassinations will be covered up outright; the public will never know. The revolutionaries may be counting on sympathy from the military - even the desertion of some military units to the cause. More likely, a demoralized and emasculated military will not get involved in the fight at all. But the revolutionaries don't care. At some key tipping point, they reason their lives are forfeit anyway: their country is gone, its principles and traditions raped, its institutions occupied by enemy forces. Change will be impossible by any legal means. Democracy will be dead. That tipping point is very near. COPYRIGHT © 2000 BY THE AMERICAN PARTISAN *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S.

[CTRL] Tyranny Is Here
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CommentMax Tyranny Is Here Paul Craig Roberts Sept. 27, 2000 Tyranny is creeping up on us. If you don't believe it, consider the most prominent hallmarks of the Nazi and Communist regimes, which sought to supplant democracy in the 20th century. In National Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union, there were no First Amendment rights. No one could voice an opinion contrary to the politically correct views enforced by the Gestapo and the KGB. Media and education were used to instill politically correct thinking and bring denunciation upon anyone who departed from politically correct thinking. This is precisely the situation that exists today in the vast majority of American colleges and universities. Verbal and facial expressions that are contrary to political correctness result in sensitivity training (a form of brainwashing) or expulsion for the offender, who may have done nothing more than laugh. If the source of mirth is an ethnic joke, a blonde joke or a hilarious claim by a multiculturalist, the hapless offender discovers that his constitutional protections do not exist. In Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, there were victim groups that were championed and oppressor groups that were suppressed. In Germany, the "victims" were Aryans, who were said to be under the financial hegemony of Jews. In the Soviet Union, the hegemonic group was the bourgeoisie, who allegedly held sway over an oppressed proletariat. In both countries, victims were permitted to exercise violent language and actions against oppressors. In the United States today, white heterosexual able-bodied males constitute the hegemonic group. Everyone else is a member of a victim group. In Germany and the Soviet Union, the abstract and imaginary group roles of oppressor and victim were given a frightful reality by ideologues. Race and class categories became the basis for discrimination and new legal systems that favored victims' groups with preferences. On American campuses, multicultural ideology has revived the concepts of race and class oppression, and added new ones based on gender and sexual orientation. Men oppress women, and heterosexuals oppress homosexuals. According to multiculturalists, our culture and values reflect nothing but the arbitrary domination of society by white heterosexual males. University of Pennsylvania professor Alan Kors says that, thanks to multiculturalism, "half a century after the defeat of Nazism, we distinguish by blood and we equate blood with culture." We now think like Nazis and explain our society and culture in terms of race (and gender) hegemony. Tyrannical states attack the family. Both the Nazis and Communists are infamous for state intrusions in family affairs. In the United States, similar bureaucratic and political intrusions come from family courts. Most Americans are unaware of the existence of these relatively new "courts." Howard University professor Stephen Baskerville is the leading authority on these courts. He says family courts are "the most dangerous institution posing a threat to constitutional rights in our society. The only parallels are the ideological-bureaucratic dictatorships of the last century." Family courts claim immunity from the Constitution and from scrutiny by federal courts. Baskerville describes them as follows: "Their proceedings are secret and unrecorded.

As such, these police are akin to secret police. By the very nature of their jurisdiction, these courts and police are the most intrusive and invasive arm of government, and yet they are accountable to virtually no one. Such an institution is intolerable in a free society." Recently a family court judge ordered the parents of a 7-year-old boy in Berne, N.Y., to put their child on Ritalin, a behavior-control drug. The alternative was to be found guilty of "educational neglect," an offense that would open the possibility of their child being seized by Child Protective Services - a Hillary Clinton "village" institution straight from the pages of the Gestapo.

[CTRL] STRAIGHT TALK FROM TEXAS - OIL
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! STRAIGHT TALK FROM TEXAS by Beaver Cole ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) A HREF="http://www.the-oil-patch.com" www.the-oil-patch.com/A PEOPLE, PEOPLE - PLEASE!! You have got to get focussed. The government is giving you another spin. I do not defend oil companies and I do not represent the organization OPEC. I only wish to give the credit of "PUMP PRICES" to the proper authority. In Texas we are currently paying 20 cents per gallon on gasoline for STATE TAX, and we are paying 18.7 cents per gallon for FEDERAL TAX. That is a combined tax rate of 38.7 cents PER GALLON on gasoline. Pump 10 gallons and you have paid $3.87 in tax regardless of the price of the fuel, currently available for around $1.07 + TAX ($1.45). Pump 10 gallons at $1.072 totaling $10.72 and pay $3.87 tax on that $10.72 purchase which now becomes a $14.59 purchase (10 X $1.459 = $14.59). In Texas we are currently paying 20 cents per gallon on diesel fuel for STATE TAX, and we are paying 24.4 cents per gallon for FEDERAL TAX. That is a combined tax rate of 44.4 cents PER GALLON on diesel fuel. Pump 10 gallons and you have paid $4.44 in tax regardless of the price of the fuel. Currently available for around $1.21 + TAX ($1.65). Pump 10 gallons at $1.21 totaling $12.10 and pay $4.44 tax on that $12.10 purchase which now becomes a $16.59 purchase (10 X $1.659= $16.59). Each State will vary on its taxes. It's also up to you to find out if you are paying any special environmental taxes, as well as city or county taxes. The government has done nothing to earn more than the oil companies. They have nothing invested! They did not take part in the cost of exploration. They did not invest in the production nor the expenses incurred for production. They did not invest in the refining of the product nor the expenses to do refining. They did not invest in the marketing of the product, nor the expenses for marketing. The only thing the government did was sit on it's FAT BEHIND and count the TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS rolling in. They TAXED the product through every stage of its development (Natural gas production tax, Oil production tax, and Utility taxes), and still held out its hand for more as your hand touched the pump. The State and the FEDS both make more per gallon than the oil companies and their subsidiaries. What we need to see is the ACTUAL PRICE posted on the signs, thus allowing the consumer to knowingly pay the tax. Now, I do believe in the very, very near future we will see and experience the effect of the major oil companies' investments in building refineries in foreign countries. Currently we are shipping crude oil to the United States and doing the refining here in the States. I think this will change soon. The oil companies will operate at a greater profit margin: less government regulation, less taxes, and cheap labor. By shipping a refined product from overseas the American refineries will become as extinct as the American steel mills. And the higher the value of the product being shipped in will also increase the governments intake, and place America's dependence on foreign nations. And before you say this cannot happen nor never will, let me tell you that any nation who would make its citizens docile by injecting fluoride into their water systems, or using its citizens as test rats, turn its monetary system over to a private banking cartel, pledge its support to and for One World Government, fraudulently coercing people out of their money through the guise of unconstitutional income tax, allow every branch of its government to become vile and corrupt, and place the people under dictatorship through presidential executive orders, will and can do whatever it wants to. Now, back to oil and taxes. I'm sorry I got sidetracked. According to the Texas State Comptroller of Public Accounts - Carole Keeton Rylander - the State of Texas reported that the State of Texas collected $488,582,960.00 in 1999 for natural gas production tax.

[CTRL] CONGRESS ACTION: October 1, 2000
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! CONGRESS ACTION: October 1, 2000 = ENERGY CZAR BILL: The nation is in a state of high anxiety over the rising price of oil, and that anxiety could have dire consequences for Al Gore in the election. Bill Clinton to the rescue! After much soul-searching (that is, after much analysis about how the decision would play in public opinion polls), Energy Czar Bill has decided to release 30 million barrels of oil from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). You didn't know that the election of Al Gore was a national security necessity? It must be, because the purpose of the SPR, created following the Arab oil embargo of 1974-74, is to protect the nation from disruptions of oil supplies that might harm our national security, such as might occur from a Middle East war. Thirty million barrels of oil sounds like a lot, but abstract numbers can be deceiving, so some perspective is needed. According to the International Energy Agency, the total current world production of oil is about 76.5 million barrels per day (b/d). The U.S. uses about 19 million b/d. Clinton's SPR gambit therefore represents about 9.4 hours of the world's current oil production, and will supply the nation with 37.9 hours worth of oil. Will this make any difference? The consensus of opinion is that such a small amount will have a negligible practical effect in reducing oil prices. But pundit opinion also claims that release of oil from the SPR will have a large psychological effect, because it demonstrates this administration's willingness to intervene; that is, this administration's willingness to try to manipulate prices and distort free markets for political gain. According to Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, he and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan believe that using the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve in this way is ".a major and substantial policy mistake." Clinton, Gore, and Energy Secretary Richardson adamantly deny that this decision was in any way politically motivated. The new oil should be refined and available to consumers about a week or two before the November election. In defense of the oil release from the SPR, it has been said that this is not really a manipulation of a free market, because there really isn't a free world market in oil, since the amount of oil drilled and pumped is regularly expanded and contracted -- ie: manipulated -- by OPEC. If this is the Clinton/Gore administration's definition, then it could equally be said that this administration has been manipulating the oil market since they came into office. But their manipulation has consistently been toward the downside, restricting the supply. This administration and its environmentalist friends have waged a constant campaign to close down existing off-shore oil drilling (and Gore has made a campaign promise of more of the same); and in the largest single restriction of supply, has refused to allow oil exploration or drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The U.S. Department of Interior estimates that ANWR contains between 4 and 12 billion barrels of recoverable oil, and less than 2000 acres out of the 17.5 million acres of ANWR would eventually be affected by drilling. But that exploration and drilling has been blocked by the Clinton/Gore administration because of their professed concern over the impact on the local caribou (Arctic caribou herds in the Prudhoe Bay area have increased between 300% and 400% since the opening of the Alaska pipeline), despite the advocacy of drilling by the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, an Alaskan company that was formed to represent the native Inupiat of the North Slope. One has to wonder just how stupid Gore thinks the American voters are. The Clinton/Gore administration has pared back our own sources of oil (domestic production has fallen 17% since 1992), and we have grown increasingly dependent on foreign imports (since Clinton/Gore took office, our oil imports have increased 34%; today we import 56% of our oil, compared to 35% during the 1973-74 oil embargo). Then he has the gall to proclaim that if elected, "I will work toward the day when we are free forever of the dominance of big oil and foreign oil." Even his friends at the Washington Post called that sort of demagoguery "a sleazy tactic". And despite his pledge to reduce dependence on foreign oil, Gore attacked Bush's proposal on Friday to do exactly that by opening up the ANWR, calling it "bad energy policy". All of the foreign oil that Clinton and Gore have forced us to depend upon comes to us by oil tanker, which Gore apparently considers "good" energy policy. Does anyone remember the Exxon Valdez? There is a far greater risk of environmental disaster from an oil tanker spill than from domestic oil drilling and shipping the oil to refineries over land via pipelines.

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Report: Russia, China join forces against US Saturday, 30 September 2000 16:23 (ET) Report: Russia, China join forces against US WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- A congressional report has warned that Russia and China have grown closer recently in order to pursue a joint goal of reducing U.S. power and influence around the world, the Washington Times said Saturday. The report, drafted by a group of House Republican analysts that blamed the growing alliance on the Clinton administration's "mismanagement" of U.S. policy toward Russia, has had the effect of turning Moscow toward China in a partnership on arms sales that dovetails with desires to increase military capabilities. "The sale of increasingly sophisticated Russian weaponry and technology to (China), and the establishment of close security cooperation between Beijing and Moscow, calls into question the fundamental prediction under-girding much of the Clinton administration's security planning: that the United States will face no peer competitor in the military field during the next two decades," the report said. Russia and China have also been cooperating recently in areas such as intelligence, and apparently desire to reduce U.S. influence in the Pacific. Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Penn., a member of the House GOP panel that received the report, said the White House muffed a chance in 1992 to create a formal security alliance with Russia, and that Moscow decided to go elsewhere for such a partnership. The alliance between Moscow and Beijing was cemented, the newspaper said, when a U.S. bomb struck the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo air campaign, and when NATO expanded its membership over Moscow's objections. "We drive Russia and China together," Weldon told the Times. "The level of high-technology weapons transfers has never been higher." -- Copyright 2000 by United Press International.

"No-Nonsense News and Analysis, Written by Professionals, For Professionals" Crisis, Conflict, or Disaster... EmergencyNet News Covers the World For You! SPAIN: Bomb Causes Minor Damage To Madrid Office Police said an explosion caused minor damage and no injuries at an office of the ruling Popular Party in Madrid. A leftist group was blamed for the bomb that went off on Saturday. A police spokesman said a woman called police after the explosion to say GRAPO, a group with apparent anarchist leanings, planted the bomb in the office in Madrid's Hortaleza neighborhood. Nobody was in the building at the time of the explosion. The bomb, with an estimated 3.3 pounds of explosive material, was left in the office doorway and a witness told police he saw two men running from the scene shortly before the blast. The pre-dawn explosion was the fifth in three days blamed on GRAPO. On Friday, two men and a woman reportedly planted a bomb in a trash bin in the Barcelona office of El Mundo, one of Spain's leading newspapers. The building was evacuated. When the device exploded, it injured two police officers who had rushed to the scene. GRAPO has never publicly stated clearly its political aims although it is believed to go after what it considers to be right-wing and capitalist targets. Its name -- October First Anti-fascist Resistance Group -- comes from October 1, 1975, the date of the group's first major attack in which it killed four policemen in reprisal for the execution of two suspected Basque separatists and three anarchists belonging to FRAP, a predecessor group of GRAPO. ### The proverb warns that 'You should not bite the hand that feeds you.'

Suheila Abdel-Rahman, a UPMRC health worker, and two volunteers, Bashir Bargouthi and Ashraf Bisht were assisting the injured at the junction near the City Inn Hotel in Ramallah. All three wore vests clearly identifying them as medical personnel. ISRAELI FORCES STILL FIRING AT CIVILIANS October 1, 2000, 4:00 PM: The Israeli army and police continue using deadly force against Palestinian civilians throughout the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem for the fourth day in a row. Palestinian deaths and injuries continue to mount as Israeli forces fire live high-velocity ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, and tear gas indiscriminately into crowds of protesters. The number of casualties are alarming: * At least 25 Palestinians are dead. * Over 750 are injured. * Fourteen remain in critical condition. Attacks on civilians have been especially brutal in the Gaza Strip, where 12-year old Rami Al-Dura was killed while under Israeli attack. Television cameras recorded the boy and his father, Jamal Al-Dura, trying to shield themselves from the hail of bullets. The father sustained critical injuries while trying to protect his son, but the army kept shooting until Rami was fatally wounded. Doctors are currently trying to remove a bullet from Jamals spine to prevent paralysis. Ambulance driver Ghassan Al-Balbisi, was shot to death by the same group of snipers while trying to reach the boy and his father. These events are a clear indication of the force the Israeli army is employing in their continued attacks against unarmed Palestinian civilians. Reports of an Israeli cease-fire are false. This afternoon, the army has been using tanks, helicopters and anti-tank missiles against Palestinian men, women, and children.

[CTRL] Who's Who in the Jim Garrison Case
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www4.50megs.com/reitzes/whoswho.html Click Here: A HREF="http://www4.50megs.com/reitzes/whoswho.html"JFK: Who's Who in the Jim Garrison Case: New Or /A - Wow, photos of all these folks. And other pages of interest, also. Om K - Who's Who in the Jim Garrison Case Jim Garrison The hero of Oliver Stone's extraordinary film, JFK, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (portrayed by Kevin Costner) believed that the John F. Kennedy assassination had been the work of CIA personnel, anti-Castro Cuban exiles, homosexuals, and ultra right-wing activists. "My staff and I solved the case weeks ago," Garrison announced in February 1967. "I wouldn't say this if we didn't have evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt." When Garrison brought businessman Clay Shaw to trial, however, no such evidence materialized. Jury foreman Sidney Hebert even said he thought more highly of the Warren Report after the trial than before. Today, most reputable conspiracy-oriented authors have denounced Garrison as a complete fraud. When clicking on the links provided, you will need to use your browser's "Back" button to return. Lee Harvey Oswald As depicted in JFK, the accused assassin (given an aptly enigmatic performance in Stone's film by Gary Oldman) spent the summer of 1963 in New Orleans. Jim Garrison theorized that Oswald's image as a loner and a Marxist was merely a front, and that he had been set up to take the fall in an assassination plot involving New Orleans residents. Many conspiracy theorists continue to believe so. David Ferrie Memorably portrayed in JFK by Joe Pesci, David Ferrie (above right, with Bay of Pigs veteran Julian Buznedo) was a highly eccentric pilot and scholar who drove from New Orleans to Houston the night of the assassination, on vacation with two friends. Though the trip was thoroughly investigated by the New Orleans Police Department, the Houston Police, the FBI, and even the Texas Rangers, Garrison was convinced it had something to do with JFK's death. When Ferrie died on February 22, 1967, Garrison quickly labeled him "one of history's most important individuals." Jack Martin Jack S. Martin (Jack Lemmon in Stone's JFK) came forward the day after the assassination with a variety of tales about Dave Ferrie, such as the claim that Ferrie "may have hypnotized Oswald and planted a post-hypnotic suggestion that he kill the President." Martin, born Edward Stewart Suggs, was no Jack Lemmon -- he was a diagnosed sociopath and admitted alcoholic with a rap sheet and a history of furnishing false information to the authorities, and he nursed a burning grudge against former pal Dave Ferrie. W. Guy Banister In 1963, former FBI Special Agent in Charge Guy Banister was a private investigator, ultra right-wing activist, and associate of David Ferrie's, with an office just around the corner from 544 Camp Street, an address inexplicably stamped by Lee Oswald on a batch of pro-Castro literature that summer. As depicted in Stone's movie (with Ed Asner in the role of the ex-G-man) Jim Garrison believed that Oswald and Banister must have been working together. David Lewis David Franklin Lewis was a roommate of Jack Martin's who'd been discharged from the Navy for "psychiatric" reasons. He tried to bolster Martin's tales, but ended up only an embarrassment to Garrison, which is presumably why he's left out of Stone's film. (In an attempt to boost his credibility, for example, he staged a fake assassination attempt on himself. A polygraph examination indicated deception and he confessed.) Oddly enough, when the DA claimed that he had "solved the case," his "evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt" consisted of the statements of Jack Martin and David Lewis -- and nothing else. Dean Andrews Dean Adams Andrews, Jr. (John Candy in JFK) was the jive-talking attorney who told the Warren Commission that he'd been asked by a "Clay Bertrand" to represent Lee Oswald in Dallas. He described "Bertrand" as a "swinging cat" who occasionally guaranteed fees for some of his homosexual clients. Neither federal nor local authorities were able to locate any trace of a "Clay Bertrand" in New Orleans. Clay Shaw A successful businessman, playwright, and pioneer of restoration in New Orleans' French Quarter, Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones in Stone's film) was Jim Garrison's candidate for the elusive "Clay Bertrand." Garrison's evidence? Shaw was a homosexual, the DA observed, and his first name was Clay. Shaw adamantly denied being "Bertrand," insisted he'd never met Lee Oswald, and strenuously denied having anything to do with the death of the man he called "a splendid president." "If there was any one person in New Orleans who believed in John F. Kennedy," a friend of his remarked, "it was Clay Shaw." Eugene Clair Davis When Dean Andrews refused to name Clay Shaw as "Clay Bertrand" to the Orleans Parish Grand Jury, he was charged with perjury. He then

They will advise the Serbian leader how to survive, the newspaper said, as Milosevic comes under strong pressure from his wife to flee. The delegation is composed of Iraq's minister of the interior and the deputy head of Iraqi intelligence, along with two senior members of the Ba'ath party and one from the so-called Olympic Committee, the organization run by Saddam's son Uday to look after his father's security and propaganda, the newspaper said. The report said Milosevic's wife Mira wants to avoid the fate of Romania's Nicolae and Elena Ceausesu, machined gunned to death after their 1989 overthrow, but Milosevic himself is determined to remain in power. The newspaper said the Iraqi delegation traveled unnoticed into Serbia last week and could help Milosevic flee through Nato troops, who are under orders to seize the Serbian leader. Milosevic Monday will meet a delegation from Russia, presumed to be preparing the way for a visit from Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov. Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Clinton Saturday spent 35 minutes on the telephone discussing Milosevic. U.S. officials afterward said they were discussing a peaceful resolution of the situation in Belgrade. The Itar-Tass news service reported Saturday that a Russian foreign ministry envoy already in Yugoslavia, Vladimir Chizhov, denied remarks attributed to him in a conversation with Montenegro's foreign minister, to the effect that Milosevic had been warned not to use force to impose his will on voters. Milosevic' administration has said a runoff election next weekend will decide whether he stays or goes and that claims the voters already decided the matter with a sufficient margin is false. -- Copyright 2000 by United Press International.

The document, which appears to confirm a meeting historians have long argued about, says an SS general and a representative of the German armaments ministry told such companies as Krupp and Roehling that they must be prepared to finance the Nazi party after the war when it went underground. They were also told ``existing financial reserves in foreign countries must be placed at the disposal of the party so that a strong German empire can be created after the defeat.'' The document, detailing an August 1944 meeting, was obtained Friday from the World Jewish Congress, which has been working with the Senate Banking Committee and the Holocaust Museum to determine what happened to looted Jewish money and property in the Second World War. As a result of the probe, thousands of documents from ''Operation Safehaven'' have been made public. The operation was a U.S. intelligence effort to track how the German government used Swiss banks during the war to hide looted Jewish assets. The three-page document, released by the National Archives, was sent from Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force to the U.S. secretary of state in November 1944. It described a secret meeting at the Maison Rouge (the Red House Hotel) in Strasbourg, occupied France, on Aug. 10, 1944. The source for the report was an agent who attended and ``had worked for the French on German problems since 1916.'' Jeffrey Bale, a Columbia University expert on clandestine Nazi networks, said historians have debated whether such a meeting could have taken place because it came a month after the attempt on Adolf Hitler's life, which had led to a crackdown on discussions of a possible German military defeat. Bale said the Red House meeting was mentioned in Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal's 1967 book ``The Murderers Among Us'' and again in a 1978 book by French Communist Victor Alexandrov, ''The SS Mafia.'' A U.S. Treasury Department analysis in 1946 reported that the Germans had transferred $500 million out of the country before the war's end to countries such as Spain, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Portugal, Argentina and Turkey where it was used to buy hundreds of companies. "As soon as the (Nazi) party becomes strong enough to re-establish its control over Germany, the industrialists will be paid for their efforts and cooperation by concessions and orders,'' the intelligence document said. The meeting was presided over by a ``Dr Scheid,'' described as an SS Obergruppenfuhrer (general) and director of Hermsdorff Schonburg Company. Attending were representatives of seven German companies including Krupp, Roehling, Messerschmidt, and Volkswagenwerk and officals of the ministries of armaments and the navy. The industralists were from companies with extensive interests in France and Scheid is quoted as saying the battle of France was lost and ``from now ... German industry must realize that the war cannot be won and it must take steps in preparation for a post-war commercial campaign.'' He said German industry must make contacts and alliances with foreign firms and lay the groundwork for borrowing considerable sums in foreign countries. He cited the Krupp company's sharing of patents with U.S. companies so that they would have to work with Krupp. A representative of the armaments ministry then presided over a smaller second meeting with Scheid and representatives of Krupp and Roehling, who were told the war was lost and would continue only until the unity of Germany was guaranteed. He said they must prepare themselves to finance the Nazi party when it went underground. The intelligence report added that the meetings signaled a new Nazi policy ``whereby industralists with government assistance will export as much of their capital as possible.'' Sybil Milton, senior historian at Washington's Holocaust Museum, said it has long been known that the Nazis planned to do something after the war and the document's importance

From: No User A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]/A Date: Fri, Sep 15, 2000 7:19 PM Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The CIA OWNS The Media! My Apology to the Media by Robert Lederman Boy, do I feel stupid. I've been blaming hard-working reporters for biased coverage of the West Nile Virus issue, their silence on the Manhattan Institute's Nazi-CIA- Eugenics link and for refusing to report on the Bush family's close connection to Hitler. In my naiveté I was implying that the CIA was somehow influencing their coverage. How ignorant can one person get? Now I know better. After following a series of leads starting from an obscure article found on the internet the whole issue is much clearer and I can announce my findings. The media is not influenced by the CIA - the media IS the CIA. Not that I can claim any credit for this insight. There are hundreds of carefully researched articles and even entire books about this subject-not to mention a Congressional report specifically about it. What began the process of pulling the blinders from my eyes was one sentence in a press release announcing Ronald Reagan's nomination of William Casey-the founder of the Manhattan Institute-to be his Director of the CIA. The release mentioned that among Mr. Casey's many accomplishments was that he ran the Reagan campaign, conducted secret intelligence operations during WWII [with Nazi ally and board member of I.G. Farben, Allen Dulles] was the chair of Operation Rescue [a CIA front which helped thousands of former Nazis emigrate to the U.S.], and manipulated the stock market as chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It went on to note that Casey was also the lead counsel [and as I later found out-top stockholder] in Capital Cities, the communications company that owned ABC until it was bought by Disney in 1996. He held that textbook example of a conflict of interest position while serving as CIA director. Following that lead I found that many of Capital Cities founders were also formerly involved in intelligence, many of them having worked with Casey under Allen Dulles-the first CIA director. In other words, ABC was owned by the CIA during the Gulf War and throughout the Reagan, Bush and much of the Clinton administrations. It was bought in 1996 by Disney, a company with many allegations of its own to having a CIA-mind control connection, whose creator had long been considered an FBI informer. Perhaps that explains why Manhattan Institute poster boy for a police state Rudy Giuliani's staged radio show is on WABC. Okay, you say, so ABC was owned by the CIA-that still leaves two other major networks and thousands of newspapers and radio stations that aren't, right? CBS and NBC are owned by Westinghouse and General Electric, the nation's two top suppliers of military hardware, satellites, nuclear reactors and spy equipment. One might be excused for imagining a government connection there as well. According to an article by investigative reporter Carl Bernstein-"The CIA and the Media", Rolling Stone, 10/20/77-prominent US media owners and journalists who have knowingly worked for the CIA include William Paley (CBS), Arthur Sulzberger (NY Times), Henry Luce (Time/Life), William Buckley (National Review), Ben Bradlee (Washington Post), and hundreds of others. "By the early 1950s," writes former Village Voice reporter Deborah Davis in Katharine the Great, "Frank Wisner [head of Allen Dulles' CIA clandestine operation to bring thousands of top Nazis to America] 'owned' respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles, plus at least four to six hundred reporters, according to a former CIA analyst." This CIA network of top U.S. media contacts was called Operation Mockingbird and was directly overseen by CIA director Allen Dulles, the Nazis' number one coordinator between American corporations and the Third Reich. "You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." CIA operative discussing with Philip Graham, editor Washington Post, on the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories. From: "Katherine The Great," by Deborah Davis, New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1991. In a 1988 speech at CIA headquarters, Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham said, "We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets, and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows." -Quoted in Journalism and the CIA: The Mighty Wurlitzer by Daniel Brandt A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/8425/CIAPRESS.HTM"

From the Kennedy assassination, I moved on to other related topics such as the Bay of Pigs, CIA acid experiments, Malcolm X, MLK, RFK, Moongate, the Rockefeller dynasty, Watergate, Jonestown and the Space Brothers. What follows is a brief sample of some of the more unusual trivia, quotes and musings that I have collected over the past 20 or so years.

Youre damn right I do! * The United States has been run for 23 years and 324 days by presidents who were not actually elected to office. Look it up! * George Bush was one of the first Americans to volunteer to take a urine test for drugs. However, during the Iran-Contra investigation, Bush refused to take a lie detector test. * U.S. presidents who have been members of the Masonic order include the likes of Washington, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, A. Johnson, Garfield, both Roosevelts, Taft, Harding, Truman, Ford and Reagan. In addition, Benjamin Franklin and nearly every signer of the Declaration of Independence were Masons. * James Riddle "Jimmy" Hoffa, who was last seen on July 30, 1975, outside a Detroit restaurant, is buried near the west end zone in front of section 107 at Giants Stadium. * "I now fully realize that only the powers of the Presidency will reveal the secrets of my brothers death." --Robert Kennedy, June 3, 1968, two days before he was assassinated * The oldest classified military document in the National Archives dates back to April 15, 1917.

[CTRL] STREETS OF PRAGUE FILLED IN PROTEST OF GLOBAL CAPITAL
-Caveat Lector- STREETS OF PRAGUE FILLED IN PROTEST OF GLOBAL CAPITAL Compiled by Eamon Martin Asheville Global Report: http://www.agrnews.org/ Prague, Czech Republic, Sept. 27â Tuesday September 26 (S26) saw the outbreak of massive demonstrations against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank annual meeting held at the Prague Congress Center in the Czech Republic this past week. Protesters from around the world collectively besieged the summit with up to 20,000 people maintaining a circular blockade of the conference facilities, and some even gaining access to the heavily-guarded complex itself. Protests were not only city wide, but worldwide with solidarity actions occurring around the globe and reportedly in 59 US cities alone. Both peaceful resistance and active confrontations occurred with a single united voice: Shut down the IMF - Shut down the World Bank. Confrontations between Czech security and civil society began before the day of demonstrations. In the days leading up to the confrontation, Czech authorities at the border stopped and prevented from entering the country, almost 300 people with arrest records from previous anti-globalization rallies. On Sunday a video crew of journalists arrived at the Independent Media Center âa news-gathering office for independent journalistsâ to find police illegally insisting on checking the passports of everyone who arrived. The independent media refused and responded by putting a dozen cameras in the face of the officers and forcing them to leave. Also that day, protesters carrying white crosses staged a mock funeral, saying thousands of children die every day because of IMF and World Bank policies (pictured left). âFifty years of oppression was enough,â said Sam Kobia, an activist from Kenya calling for abolition of the big international lending institutions. âGlobal economy is a global apartheid.â The demonstration, launched by anti-poverty/social justice group Jubilee 2000, was intended to draw attention to its claims that 19,000 children die each day as a result of policies imposed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. On Monday, plainclothes officers hauled away three protesters - an American and two Poles - who had chained themselves to a bridge after unfurling banners that read: âNo IMF, WB, WTO! End Corporate Rule!â (pictured right) Earlier that day 1,500 people aboard a train which had been stopped at the Czech-Austrian border for about 19 hours finally arrived in Prague that morning at around 2am. Protesters from groups across Italy, including Ya Basta!, explained that Czech border police had initially tried to arrest four people on board. The specially commissioned train had collected passengers in Naples, Rome, Milan and Venice. The train had passed without delay through Italy and Austria but encountered difficulties in the Czech Republic when officers in riot gear attempted to arrest four people whose names had appeared on a âblack list.â Fellow activists successfully challenged the action by forming a defensive human chain to ensure that police officers were unable to remove the four people. After 300 protesters affiliated with the umbrella group Initiative Against Economic Globalization marched to the Interior Ministry and said they wouldnât leave until Czech officials allowed the Italians to enter, the police complied. On Tuesday in Prague, people started gathering in Namesti Miru square at 9am. The square was packed with a great variety of groups from many places, speaking an equally great number of languages. Various artistic events unfolded including a massive sound system, a vast inflatable globe and numerous, multilingual banners expressing discontent with the IMF/World Bank. Surrounding them, however, downtown Prague was deserted, with schools and many shops closed and boarded up, and police on every street corner. At around 12 oâclock, the demonstration split into three different groups - yellow, blue and pink - and started to approach the conference center where the IMF/World Bank meeting was taking place. The âyellowâ march took the main route to the big bridge leading to the conference complex. Led by Italian and Spanish groups linked to the Ya Basta! movement - dressed in white foam-padded overalls and carrying heavy shielding - they approached lines of heavily armored riot police occupying the bridge. About 60 protesters, well protected in improvised gear made out of paintersâ jumpsuits padded with foam rubber and cardboard, formed the front lines (pictured below). One woman even wrapped a doormat around her waist for protection, while others wore motorcycle helmets or hard hats. These demonstrators positioned themselves immediately in front of the riot gear-clad police. They tried four times to push through police lines. Police responded with batons, while protesters used inner tubes to shield themselves from their blows. For more than two hours, groups

Downing on MKULTRA From: Christopher P McDill A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED]/A Date: Tue, Sep 19, 2000 8:40 AM Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's an interview wherein Major Jack Downing discusses his past role in mind control experiments: _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ [Another gem, dating from the end of '98] Q: So let us take on the issue of controlling the mind. Some of what you were involved with centered on the issue of the human mind. Will, values, consciousness, perception, etc were the puzzle-pieces you were seeking to re-arrange. Downing: I participated in numerous projects, because of my expertise, which attempted to correct the "brainwashing gap" that we'd convinced Congress existed between the U.S. and its Communist adversaries. The gap didn't really exist, mind you, but events which transpired between WWI and the Korean war convinced us that the human mind was the next big battlefield. There was a fantastic little paperback book that came out a long time ago called "Brainwashing" written by a CIA-affiliated journalist named Hunter, which made brainwashing out to be the invention of Chinese communists. It was intended to scare Americans into pressuring their congressional representatives into allocating more money into mind-control research. . . and it worked. That same trick also worked to get funding for a lot of similar projects. The media has been the best ally for black ops. Q: You had no issues about doing this stuff? I feel that you are almost relishing the memories of better days, when funding was good, and anything was possible. Downing: Actually, that period slightly proceeded my tenure in this line of work. I worked with people who would get almost tearfully wistful remembering when it was all new, and the priorities of the Cold War superceded such minor issues as human rights. Q: So you, as you have stated elsewhere, were involved in some of the research into the possibilities of LSD and other drugs in unconventional warfare. Downing: That was one of the things. I did that for a while. My findings on that were not so promising. Others who did that sort of thing got better results. After MKULTRA it was turned over to the "Nonlethal Weapons" program and it was out of my hands. . . I was doing a lot with indoctrination, interrogation, counterintelligence stuff. . . like how to get captured personnel to divulge military secrets. That was much more fruitful than the other thing. I think that drugs actually made people more resistant to indoctrination. The drug programs tried to achieve the opposite effects, but people, you know, would just get high, and ignore the interrogators. So. . .we took the investigation in another direction. The "Nonlethal Weapons" folks worked on how to use drugs just to incapacitate troops, or make them question authority. I turned my attention on ways to get confessions. Q: It's a classic news item during wartime, that American POWs bravely resisted giving away their secrets, risking torture and death in the interests of patriotism. . . Downing: Well, that's what we were trying to undermine. The old way of interrogation, which is still used much of the time by police and less sophisticated governments is torture. Fear. It works, but not always. Following the example of religious cults, we developed a different, more successful angle. No torture, no fear. The human mind is so malleable, belief systems so fragile, why hurt people? The move in modern warfare is bloodless victory. We really don't want to kill anyone unless we're in a hurry. Better to conquer the loyalties and confidence of the enemy in their ideologies. Then you have two armies fighting for you: your own, and theirs. Better to cultivate sedition than to fertilize the fields with blood. Q: So, about the cults. What did you take from them? Downing: Okay. So as I was saying. It is admittedly hard to develop any weapon without the enemy using it too. We cannot rely on our soldiers to keep secrets anymore. That is why soldiers get such a compartmentalized picture of what they are doing. And they are also given to believe totally inaccurate things about their mission, so long as it does not interfere with their combat effectiveness. So many Army and Air Force people are being released thinking they have these secrets, about government collaboration with aliens, or some other conspiracy poppycock. They write books, the enemy reads them, and they think they have good intelligence because it came from ex-armed forces. The cults. What we got from them is the idea that you can get better intelligence from people who believe in your mission. So, say we get a POW, and we have a little time to work with him. It's not time-critical, such as on the eve of an offensive

Stern, disciplined, psychotic... In time we covered up our origins. Learned to have fun. Learned to relax. Our Founders had a sense of work ethic, belief in moral leadership and a small almost forgotten quirk. They believed that when evil occurred, it's source and it's enforcer were within the society. Native Americans believed in evil forces that resides far away, in some mystical place. Anglicans and Catholics fought demons in the outer fringes of towns. But for Puritans evil was always in the hearts of their towns... It wasn't far away and mystical... It was here and deadly. When each of us were brought forth into the world our parents were all told almost the same thing... We have conquered Nature... We can now live without fear All can be reasoned and all can be explained away. And then our mothers while nursing us turned on TV Learning with a certain amount of horror of a new disease called Grid. In time it broke the boundaries of the homosexual community and crossed over into collective society. It spread like fire, and in time acquired a new name... AIDS. The victims fell fast and furious. The disease was mysterious. And the explanation of it was tedious and complicated. Few sitting at home believed the flow charts that traced back the existence of this new unseen killer to some monkey in West Africa. Like our Puritan ancestors, we could not believe in the far off mystical evil born in Africa... We found it easier to embrace the idea of an evil madman living among us concocting hideous plans to wipe out humanity. Numerous conspiracies grew. Some were laughable. Some were scary. Some were thought provoking. This site is a collection of explanations. A loosely bound package of ordinary human beings attempting to explain the irrational world with their own theories.

[CTRL] Fwd: new ambassador to colombia
This profile of our new ambassador to Colombia appeared in this morning's society section. Turns out she's from Arkansas ... woodenjano. --Mara High Profile: Anne Woods Patterson PHYLLIS D. BRANDON ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE FORT SMITH -- Anne Patterson, a Fort Smith native, is the new ambassador to Colombia. The job won't be just a cup of coffee. While this South American nation is noted for its exports of java and fresh flowers, it's the massive production of cocaine and the ensuing wealth and power of the drug lords that will make this assignment challenging for the State Department career diplomat. In Bogota, the 5-foot-1 mother of two sons will leave her residence to go to the embassy at a different time and by a different route every day -- all the while surrounded by 13 bodyguards, some in unmarked vans in front and behind her van. Accompanying Patterson to Colombia will be a $1.3 billion drug package from the U.S. government to help President Andres Pastrana eradicate illegal drug production. The aid includes military hardware and will provide training aimed at combating the armed groups that protect plantations producing 90 percent of the world's cocaine and a rising share of its heroin. Implementation of the aid was accelerated by a brief visit Aug. 31 of President Clinton, Cabinet members and 11 members of Congress to Cartegena, Colombia. "There has been drug trafficking insurgency in Colombia for years," Patterson says during an interview at her parents' Fort Smith home. "But two things have happened in recent years that have changed the picture -- one is the coca growing has exploded. [Cocaine comes from coca leaves.] When I worked on these issues 10 years ago, most of the production was in Bolivia and Peru and the Colombians were the processors, but now they are fully integrated. "The other issue is the link between the traffickers and the insurgents. That's basically new over the past few years. They get the money and do extortion and protection and such. Our job is to try and reduce this coca production most immediately." "Ten years ago," she adds, "you could go to Bolivia and there would be coca leaves as far as the eye could see. It used to be the Colombians were just on the high end, but they do everything now. What's happened is the coca leaf production has gone up 20 percent in some parts of Colombia in one year. That's just devastating." Her security detail will be essential. "People get killed in Colombia all the time," she says. "It's terrible. People are leaving in huge numbers and journalists get killed and politicians get killed." Why would she pick this troubled place? "Because this is a huge challenge, and I felt that I knew the issues because I had worked on these issues before." Patterson has just completed a three-year assignment as U.S. ambassador to El Salvador. "This was a country that we got very emotionally invested with," she says. "We wanted them to succeed. And they mostly have succeeded. Every time you see the ex-guerillas talking to people that they had attacked and people whose relatives had been kidnapped, that's hard. That's really hard to put that all in the past and try to work together, but they've done a very good job. "The U.S. government has a lot of good programs there like the [U.S. Agency for International Development] that [Helena native] Brady Anderson runs," Patterson says. These programs are inexpensive, she explains, and help many people by providing for food and child and maternal health. "I really wanted Salvador to succeed, and we tried to do everything possible to help them get there. Salvador is going to be a success story." El Salvador was Patterson's first exposure to the media and anonymous faces, which she found hard to get used to. "You have these groups of reporters that follow you to every event. That's not easy, to be a public figure," she says. Patterson's first three-year assignment was in Equador, starting in 1974. A souvenir of her tour includes the painting now hanging in her parents' home and shown in the High Profile cover photo. Returning to the United States, she was assigned to the State Department in Washington as a Canadian trade officer. "I was and still am an economic officer," she says. There she met David Patterson, who was working in a parallel office on European trade issues. They had more than work in common: He was also a native of Fort Smith. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1964 and seven years older than she, he had served in the Peace Corps in Colombia in 1966 and been in the foreign service in Iran. He had worked in Iran and Chile. He'd never met Anne until they were stationed in Washington. In 1979, Anne went to work for another Arkansan, Jim Cheek, on the Nicaraguan desk in the State Department in Washington. "That was almost the hardest job I have ever had before or since because it was just
Re: [CTRL] The tyranny within
-Caveat Lector- Great article. Thanks for posting it. Gavin. Caveat Lector- http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/commentary-200092918712.htm THE WASHINGTON TIMES September 29, 2000 The tyranny within Paul Craig Roberts Tyranny is creeping up on us. If you don't believe it, consider the most prominent hallmarks of the Nazi and communist regimes, which sought to supplant democracy in the 20th century. In National Socialist Germany and the Soviet Union, there were no First Amendment rights. No one could voice an opinion contrary to the politically correct views enforced by the Gestapo and the KGB. Media and education were used to instill politically correct thinking and bring denunciation upon anyone who departed from politically correct thinking. This is precisely the situation that exists today in the vast majority of American colleges and universities. Verbal and facial expressions that are contrary to political correctness result in sensitivity training (a form of brainwashing) or expulsion for the offender, who may have done nothing more than laugh. If the source of mirth is an ethnic joke, a blonde joke or a hilarious claim by a multiculturalist, the hapless offender discovers that his constitutional protections do not exist. In Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, there were victim groups that were championed and oppressor groups that were suppressed. In Germany, the "victims" were Aryans, who were said to be under the financial hegemony of Jews. In the Soviet Union, the hegemonic group was the bourgeoisie, who allegedly held sway over an oppressed proletariat. In both countries, victims were permitted to exercise violent language and actions against oppressors. In the United States today, white heterosexual able-bodied males constitute the hegemonic group. Everyone else is a member of a victim group. In Germany and the Soviet Union, the abstract and imaginary group roles of oppressor and victim were given a frightful reality by ideologues. Race and class categories became the basis for discrimination and new legal systems that favored victims' groups with preferences. On American campuses, multicultural ideology has revived the concepts of race and class oppression, and added new ones based on gender and sexual orientation. Men oppress women, and heterosexuals oppress homosexuals. According to multiculturalists, our culture and values reflect nothing but the arbitrary domination of society by white heterosexual males. University of Pennsylvania professor Alan Kors says that, thanks to multiculturalism, "half a century after the defeat of Nazism, we distinguish by blood and we equate blood with culture." We now think like Nazis and explain our society and culture in terms of race (and gender) hegemony. Tyrannical states attack the family. Both the Nazis and communists are infamous for state intrusions in family affairs. In the United States, similar bureaucratic and political intrusions come from family courts. Most Americans are unaware of the existence of these relatively new "courts." Howard University Professor Stephen Baskerville is the leading authority on these courts. He says family courts are "the most dangerous institution posing a threat to constitutional rights in our society. The only parallels are the ideological-bureaucratic dictatorships of the last century." Family courts claim immunity from the Constitution and from scrutiny by federal courts. Mr. Baskerville describes them as follows: "Their proceedings are secret and unrecorded. Their orders are enforced by bureaucratic police who do not wear uniforms and whose sole responsibility is to conduct surveillance over families and private lives. As such, these police are akin to secret police. By the very nature of their jurisdiction, these courts and police are the most intrusive and invasive arm of government, and yet they are accountable to virtually no one. Such an institution is intolerable in a free society." Recently a family court judge ordered the parents of a 7-year-old boy in Berne, N.Y., to put their child on Ritalin, a behavior-control drug. The alternative was to be found guilty of "educational neglect," an offense that would open the possibility of their child being seized by Child Protective Services â a Hillary Clinton "village" institution straight from the pages of the Gestapo. The child suffered serious side effects from the drug, but parents no longer have the right to decide what is best for their children. Tyrannical states assault the individual in the inner recesses of his consciousness. He is not permitted to think certain thoughts or to express a prohibited thought privately to anyone. Recently, Janice Barton encountered a Spanish-speaking couple while leaving a restaurant in Manistee, Mich. She turned to her mother and said, "I wish these [ethnic slur] would learn

-Caveat Lector- Senseless Intervention U.S. Policy Toward Colombia Fraught With Problems Colombian soldiers arrive near a combat zone in the province of Risaralda, recently attacked by leftist rebels. Government troops will be bolstered by a controversial new U.S. aid package. (La Tarde/Reuters) Commentary By George F. Will W A S H I N G T O N, Sept. 10 President Clintons assurances that the United States will not get involved in the Colombian civil war that the United States is already involved in (with military personnel, equipment, training, financing, intelligence) make sense if you think of the helicopters as farm implements. The 60 transport and attack helicopters, and most of the other elements in the recent $1.3 billion installment of U.S. aid, look warlike. However, the administration says the aid is essentially agricultural. It is all about controlling crops particularly the coca fields that provide upward of 90 percent of the cocaine that reaches the American market. The law governing U.S. intervention includes this language: The president shall ensure that if any helicopter procured with funds under this heading is used to aid or abet the operations of an illegal self-defense group or illegal security cooperative, than such helicopter shall be immediately returned to the United States. Imagine how reliably this will be enforced. Peace Through Herbicides Conceivably, important U.S. interests are implicated in the Colombian governments fight with the more than 17,000-strong forces of Marxist insurgency in the civil war, now in its fourth decade, that has killed 35,000 people and displaced 2 million in the last 10 years. Political violence has killed 280,000 since the middle of the 19th century. Do makers of U.S. policy understand this long-simmering stew of class conflict, ideological war and ethnic vendettas? They advertise their policy as drug control through crop extermination. The president, delivering the money that will buy military equipment, said: We have no military objective. And: Our approach is both pro-peace and anti-drug. As though the civil war and the anti-narcotics campaign can be separated when the left-wing forces that control half the country are getting hundreds of millions of dollars a year by protecting and taxing coca fields. The U.S. policy peace through herbicides aims to neutralize the left-wing forces by impoverishing them. But already those forces are diversifying. The Wall Street Journal reports: Armed with automatic rifles and personal computers, guerrillas often stop traffic, check motorists bank records, then detain anyone whose family might be able to afford a lucrative ransom. There are an average of seven kidnappings a day, and the Journal reports that every morning Colombias largest radio network links its 169 stations with its stations in Miami, New York, Panama and Paris. It opens its lines to relatives of kidnap victims who broadcast messages they hope will be heard by their missing loved ones. Speaking of diversification, does anyone doubt that, in the extremely unlikely event that Colombia is cleansed of the offensive crops, cultivation of them will be promptly increased elsewhere? In spite of Colombias efforts, coca cultivation increased 140 percent in the last five years, partly because the United States financed the reduction of Bolivias coca crop. However, the pressure on Colombias coca growers is working: Some of them have planted crops (and the seeds of future conflicts) across the border in Peru. And guerrillas have made incursions into Panama and Ecuador for refuge. And the price of cocaine in the United States has plummeted for two decades. Senseless Policy Will the United States ever learn? As long as it has a $50 billion annual demand for an easily smuggled substance made in poor nations, the demand will be served. An anecdote is apposite. A presidential adviser was fresh from persuading the French government to smash the French connection by which heroin destined for America was refined from Turkish opium in Marseilles. Boarding a helicopter to Camp David to bring his glad tidings to President Nixon, the adviser, Pat Moynihan, who then still had Harvards faith in governments efficacy, found himself traveling with Labor Secretary George Shultz, embodiment of University of Chicago realism about powerful appetites creating markets in spite of governments objections. When Moynihan (who tells this story) told Shultz about his achievement in France, this conversation ensued. Shultz, dryly: Good. Moynihan: No, really, this is a big event. Shultz, drier still: Good. Moynihan: I suppose you think that so long as there is a demand for drugs, there will continue to be a supply. Shultz: You know, theres hope for you yet. That is more than can be confidently said for U.S. policy in Colombia, which seems barren of historical sense. The enduring
[CTRL] U.S. advises against overland travel in Bolivia
-Caveat Lector- U.S. advises against overland travel in Bolivia WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday advised Americans to avoid travelling by land in Bolivia, where at least eight Bolivians have been killed in the past two weeks in protests at government policies. In parallel, the U.S. State Department said the demands and tactics of the growers of coca, the primary ingredient in cocaine, who are disrupting traffic are "destructive to Bolivia"s national interests." The United States supports Bolivian President Hugo Banzer"s plan to rid the country of illegal coca, it added. The plan has angered peasants who depend on coca for their livelihood. The State Department said that the protests have not specifically targeted Americans. But at least one foreigner, a Canadian, was beaten when he left the hotel where 21 foreign tourists have taken refuge in fear of the protesters. "Travel to any of the usual tourist attractions, such as Copacabana on Lake Titicaca or Sorata, a favourite destination for backpackers, is dangerous," it said. "U.S. citizens travelling in Bolivia are strongly advised to avoid overland travel. Air travel to Bolivia"s major cities has not been interrupted but U.S. citizens are urged to monitor local news sources and to consult with the Embassy before commencing travel," it added. The other statement said the United States and the international community "fully support Bolivian President Banzer"s Plan Dignidad to rid the country of illegal coca." "As President Bill Clinton told President Banzer in New York (earlier this month), the United States has matched word with deed in this support," it added. It noted that the United States had forgiven Bolivia debt worth $450 during the 1990s and provides more than $40 million a year to help Bolivia fight the drugs trade. Bolivia will also receive $110 million from the $1.3 billion package allocated to support the Colombian government"s anti-drug campaign. "The debt reduction process is well underway in Bolivia and the Government of Bolivia has launched discussions ... on what can be done to alleviate poverty. We believe these are responsible actions on the part of the Banzer government. "For these reasons, we believe both the demands and violent tactics of the coca growers are destructive to Bolivia"s national interests," added the statement. It urged Bolivians to support Banzer"s call for communication and reconciliation. Copyright ©2000 ABC News Internet Ventures.

[CTRL] Pope names Philadelphia heiress as 2nd U.S.-born saint
-Caveat Lector- Pope names Philadelphia heiress as 2nd U.S.-born saint By ALESSANDRA RIZZO The Associated Press 10/1/00 1:13 PM VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Katharine Drexel grew up the privileged daughter of a 19th-century Philadelphia banker. She lived in mansions. Dressed for balls. Traveled the world. Then, at 30, Drexel finally got to do what she had always wanted to: taking a vow of poverty, she founded her own order of sisters, devoting her life -- and her dlrs 20 million inheritance -- to founding schools for American Indians and blacks. "She knew she was wealthy for a reason: to help poor people," said Catherine Andrew Lewis of Brooklyn, an alumni of Drexel-founded schools and one of the faithful looking on in St. Peter's Square Sunday as Pope John Paul II decreed sainthood for Drexel. The American heiress-turned-nun was one of 123 Catholics canonized Sunday. Gospel singers from Xavier University in New Orleans, founded by Drexler, attended the ceremony. "Drexel is an excellent example of that practical charity and generous solidarity with the less fortunate that has long been the distinguishing mark of American Catholics," the pontiff said during a rain-soaked ceremony that drew tens of thousands. Her life brought about "a growing awareness of the need to combat all forms of racism through education and social services," John Paul said. Drexel was born in 1858 to a Philadelphia banking magnate, the business partner of J.P. Morgan. Her uncle was the founder of the Drexel University. Shunning both the label and the life of a socialite, she took little note of her gala debut on the social scene and turned down offers of marriage before taking the veil. Her canonization was the first of a native-born American in 25 years. Hundreds came from the United States -- from family members to members of American Indian tribes -- to see it. They included Amanda Wall, a 8-year-old from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Born deaf in both ears, the girl gained her hearing at 4 after her mother prayed to Drexel. The Vatican certified the episode as a miracle and attributed to Drexel's intercession, a requirement in her naming to the sainthood. Drexel founded the missionary order of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament in 1891, four years after Pope Leo XIII encouraged her to do so to bring Catholicism to the poor of the American West. "We have to be thankful that she has let this part of America live better lives," said Connie Terracina, a retired teacher who had been educated by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. Stories of Drexel's poverty and self-denial became legendary in her lifetime. Her order preserves a jar of pencils she had used down to the nubs. She wore shoes down to paper-thin soles and ate the leftovers off other nuns' plates. "I remember her as being a very warm and honest person, very sincere," recalled Lewis, who was a student at the Holy Providence school in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, in 1946. Drexel, then 87, was confined to a wheelchair she had fashioned from a folding chair another sign of her penury. "She really loved us and wanted us to be well-educated," said Lewis. In all, Drexel founded more than 100 schools and missions for American Indians and blacks. Most of her work was in the Southwest, where she used to travel frequently to monitor the construction of the schools or inspect potential mission sites. In 1915, she founded the Xavier University in New Orleans for black Catholics. Drexel died in 1955 at 96 and was buried in her order's mother house in Bensalem. Her shrine has become a major pilgrimage site. Drexel is the second American-born saint. The first was Elizabeth Ann Seton, who also founded an order in the early 1800s and was canonized in 1975. The pope the leading saint-maker in the history of church clearly values canonizations to raise the profile of the church in a particular country or to show an array of role models for Roman Catholics today.

[CTRL] How it's done: The continuing breakup of Yugoslavia.
-Caveat Lector- 10/1/00 Here we go again. The piece below is PURE propaganda. This is the method that was used by NATO and its allied secret intelligence agencies in the USA, Britain, and Germany to fund, supply, arm, and train each of the Yugoslav provinces' secessionist forces. The KLA being the most recent when the West broke off Kosovo from Yugoslavia under the pretense of " Humanitarian War." An oxymoron for morons. It looks like The New World Order is about to do it again. Look for drum beating from CNN, ITN, and of course the American Corporate Media Whores. Montenegro is next. No doubt about it. Montenegro will be portrayed as a province yearning to breath free. Never mind that independent polls have shown more than a 70% majority of Montenegrins want to remain part of Yugoslavia, and that the Yugoslav army is in its own country to defend against foreign backed secessionists. To put this in perspective so that even brain dead Americans can understand it, this is like Mexico funding and arming Mexican Americans in Texas who want to see texas returned to Mexico. Does the US government have the right to keep its soldiers in Texas while a foreign government is training and funding secessionist traitors? Do these troops have the right to fight and kill the secessionists? If you answer yes, then DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN. This is OUTRAGEOUS behavior on the part of the West. The Globalists in the State Department and the United States of Europe can go into any country in the world and do with it what they wish. That is, any SMALL country in the world. Granada Panama Iraq Yugoslavia Columbia Makes you proud to be an American doesn't it? Joshua2 == SAS trains Montenegrin police A HIGHLY secretive SAS mission in Montenegro has spent the past six months training the Yugoslav republic's elite special police against terrorist threats from Serbia, writes Tom Walker. The 1,500-strong commando units of the new Montenegrin force, who wear distinctive black uniforms, are now a common sight near government buildings and on Montenegro's borders. The commandos are backed up by another 5,000 special police. Neither the Montenegrins nor the British government have admitted the presence of SAS trainers on Yugslav territory, for fear of provoking a confrontation with the Yugoslav army of President Slobodan Milosevic. Diplomats say they believe the trainers, said to have been a squad of be-tween four and eight, have now left after concern for their safety. The SAS trainers were experienced Balkan hands. Several had assisted Nato's operation in Kosovo last year. "I saw some familiar faces while I was wandering across a park here. They saw me and dived behind a tree," said one diplomat. The British involvement with the Montenegrin police is plain to see. More than 150 Land Rovers have been im-ported in the past year. The Foreign Office said two ex-port licences had been granted permitting civilian use. Intelligence sources familiar with the police programme run by the SAS said the trainers were based near Bar, Yugoslavia's main port. The police have been given new mountaineering, diving and parachuting skills, and some officers are also be-lieved to have been given training in Britain. "They've turned the police into a sort of light infantry militia-type outfit that can tackle any hijack or hostage crisis, the sort of thing that Serbia might provoke here," said one diplomat. He said most of the police armaments and uniforms came from America. The special police have sub-machineguns, mortars and bazookas, but cannot counter the heavy armoury of the Yugoslav army.

[CTRL] Russia'S Nuclear Scare Is Omen Source
-Caveat Lector- Comrades: There have been many, many reports of electrical fires, breakdowns this entire year particularly in the former Soviet Union. Among these reports of necular facilities that bearly escape one mishap after another wasn't Russia one of the countries most behind in any kind of Y2K remediation? "Death by 10,000 paper cuts!" Russia'S Nuclear Scare Is Omen Source: Dayton Daily News Publication date: 2000-09-29 Arrival time: 2000-09-30 KREMLIN APPARATCHIKS WOULD have been proud. On Sept. 13, a Russian news agency reported the scariest nuclear near-miss since Chernobyl by saying, `The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant . . . restored its regular working regime today after a major power cut that paralyzed the area last weekend.' Here's the Scripps Howard News Service translation: A "nuclear catastrophe" involving Russia's aging electrical grid was narrowly averted, but "such close escapes could be expected with growing frequency.' A short circuit in poorly maintained equipment may have sparked a sudden reactor blackout. Before it was over, the reactor and a plutonium processing plant had spiraled toward meltdown. And Russia reportedly came within half an hour of plunging into another Chernobyl, the 1986 accident that fanned a vast radioactive cloud across northeastern Europe and may have resulted in up to tens of thousands of deaths. This spring, President Clinton pledged substantial aid to Ukraine to help close Chernobyl and replace the power it generated. Western nations may have to consider a similar strategy for Russia, unpalatable as it may be. That impoverished nation depends heavily on aging nuclear plants it lacks the resources to maintain. Helping may be far less costly - and painful - than coping with a major accident with global repercussions. But Russian leaders also have a price to pay. To get the help that could keep their country from nuclear disaster, they must be far more willing to let others inspect their plants to assess potential dangers. http://cnniw.yellowbrix.com/pages/cnniw/Story.nsp?story_id=14376682ID=cnniw scategory=Energy%3ANuclear -- Martin Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), October 01, 2000 Sig Heil!

[CTRL] Fwd: Baran Day Care Abuse Case
The Boston Globe Magazine October 1, 2000 Firm convictions In other celebrated day-care sex cases, children told bizarre stories. The Pittsfield children did not. By David Mehegan At first sight, not much about the Massachusetts Treatment Center for sexually dangerous persons, a modern brick building in Bridgewater, suggests a prison. It is quiet in the small, outer lobby. There are colorful cloth wall hangings and a sort of Danish modern circular waiting bench. But a visitor can't miss the heavy plate-glass window at the guards' station, the airport-type metal detector, and the clock built into the wall above the outside door, which, eerily, has numbers but no hands. After passing through the detector, visitors enter a security lock: A steel door from the outer lobby closes behind before another opens ahead into the main visiting area. Here, there are benches where visitors are meeting with inmates, smaller rooms (each with a large window) along the walls with tables and chairs, a row of vending machines, and a bored-looking officer sitting at a desk on a platform, keeping an eye on things. Bernard F. Baran Jr., 35, an inmate, makes his way to a side meeting room with a round table for an interview. He is tanned and lean, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, perhaps 150 pounds, with a receding hairline and a black ponytail. He is wearing jeans, a black shirt, and narrow rectangular sunglasses. Nervous and cautious, "Bee" Baran - he picked up the nickname in prison - speaks slowly at first, in an accent suggesting upstate New York more than New England (he is from Lanesborough, near Pittsfield). For about 45 minutes, he talks about his case, his life in prison, and his hopes. At one point, he says simply, "I just want to go home and be with my family." That will be difficult. Baran is in the 16th year of a life sentence for rape of a child and for indecent assault on a child at the Pittsfield day-care center where he worked from 1983 to 1984. Though other day-care cases, such as Fells Acres in Malden, north of Boston, Wee Care Nursery in New Jersey, Little Rascals in North Carolina, and McMartin Preschool in California, are more famous, Baran was one of the first day-care workers in the nation convicted for abusing children in his care. Only one Fells Acres defendant, Gerald Amirault, remains in prison, and there is strong outside support for his release; most of the other celebrated cases either ended without convictions or resulted in convictions that were later overturned. But Baran whiles away the years. Last fall he was eligible for parole after 15 years of his life sentence, but he canceled a hearing because he would have had to admit guilt to be paroled, and he maintains his innocence. Besides, even if he got parole, he would still be locked up in the Treatment Center under a separate civil sentence. He declines to participate in the AA-style treatment that entails acknowledging that he is a sexually dangerous person. There is a modest "Free Bernard Baran" movement, led by Robert Chatelle of Boston. Chatelle, 58, is intensely committed to Amirault's and Baran's causes. He and his partner, James D'Entremont, believe Baran's trial was a homophobic witch hunt (Baran is gay). While other witch-hunt theorists are supporters of Baran's cause, Chatelle is the leader; he maintains a Web site ("The Appalling Case of Bernard Baran" at www.ultranet.com/~kyp/baran.html) and has set up a legal defense fund. Chatelle's hopes are high. A burst of supportive letters and contributions followed a column last February in The Nation by Katha Pollitt (whose main source was Chatelle) with the headline "Justice for Bernard Baran." Boston lawyer John Swormley, who has represented several clients in the Treatment Center, has agreed to take Baran's case and expects to prepare a motion for a new trial. A handful of other Boston lawyers familiar with the case believe Baran's trial was unfair. The case of Bernard Baran is complicated and replete with ambiguities and uncertainties, and those affected by it are full of passionate conviction. It can't be wholly sorted out in a single article. But one can say that the case reflects the history of the last two decades, an age of rapid change in American life and law - in ideas about children, sexuality, child abuse investigation, evidence, and ordinary fairness. And one can say that it was a tragedy, and still is. With mothers swarming into the work force in the 1970s, demand for day care was intense. Dorothy Amos, an African-American community activist in Pittsfield's down-at-the-heels west side, founded the Early Childhood Development Center, which came to be known as ECDC, in the mid-1970s. "Her vision," says Carolyn Burns, executive director of the Berkshire Center for Families and Children, "was to create a child-care center for west side residents." At its peak, ECDC served about 100 children. Besides tuition, it relied on public funds: In 1984, for example, it

Barclays banking business grew up in the country districts of England, carried on by successful traders who had correspondents in London, choosing to use the descendants of the goldsmith bankers, mainly grouped in Lombard Street and its vicinity. What these associations of traders set up was a clearing house system by which transactions were made possible between the country agents and a London bank without transporting cash. According to a history of Barclays Bank: English merchants abroad [in British colonies] gradually developed into bankers in much the same fashion; so that a century later, the bill [of lading] on London had become, what it still remains, the most valued form of international currency. Thus first the country bankers, and then the merchant bankers abroad, created the famous bill on London, which by the punctuality of payment of their London agents ultimately obtained world-wide repute. The book explains British banking history, including the rise of joint-stock banking, limited liability and the great banking amalgamations after 1915, but it indicates that there was a "quite peculiar" manner which amalgamation has taken place in the case of Barclays bank, as follows: The nucleus of the combination consisted of two great firms united in 1888; Barclay, Bevan, Tritton Co., and Ransom, Bouverie Co.; each of them London agents of a number of country banks; and their first amalgamation of 1896, a most natural one, was a union with some twenty of these country banks, in which the Gurneys of Norwich and Backhouse of Darlington figured most actively. From time to time after 1896 there were many similar unions with local banks, especially in districts where the bank was not previously represented. Finally, after 1915, Barclays joined in the general movement for concentration on a far larger scale, and amalgamated with large centralised banch-banks of a different type. In the end it has become the third in size of our Big Five clearing banks, with deposits of over 300 million pounds, and 1838 bank offices. A review of the Barclays history book found in The Economist in 1927 summarizes as follows: In the course of the narrative the reader is introduced to a large number of the best known names in English banking: Alexander, Backhouse, Barclay of course, Bevan, Birkbeck, Bolitho, Bosanquet, Bouverie, Buxton, Eaton, Foster, Gosling, Gurneys, Hoare, Leatham, Lucas, Pease, Peckover, Seebohm, Tritton, Tuke, Williams and many others. * * * * It is really astonishing how intimately the English banking families were inter-related. The writer was once shown by an English banker a very elaborate pedigree, some four feet square, on which he made out his descent from Sir John Houblon, the first Governor of the Bank of England. It further appeared from this tangled web of descents and marriages that he was also connected with almost every banking family one had heard of. This intimate and complicated relationship is fully illustrated in the book we are considering. It largely extends our printed record of such connections, and perhaps even more of those religious sympathies on which they were grounded. The Quakers have played a great part in English banking, nowhere more than in the Barclay group; the Huguenots may rank next; but a certain pietistic and mystical form of religious feeling seems to have characterised nearly all the original Barclay bankers. According to the writers of Dope, Inc., the clearinghouse for the banks involved in the drug trade is the Assicurazioni Generali of Venice, whose major stockholders are the S.G. Warburg merchant bank of London and the Paris Banque de Pris et des Pays-Bas. The Warburg chairman, Lord Eric Roll of Ipsden became chairman of Kissinger Associates in 1984, replacing its founder, Lord Carrington, who had also been a director of Hambros Bank, when it financed Michele Sindonas entry into the United States, as well as a director of Barclays Bankwhich is, incidentally, the principal financier for the gold and diamond mining in Africa. As stated in Dope, Inc., these men are representatives of the ancient fondi who have collaborated for centuries. What is new and ominous is that the men who perform the dirty work of the fondi have moved out of shadows of Caribbean offshore banking and Hong Kong smuggling, and into the board rooms of the most powerful American financial institutions, and close to the councils of the United States government itself. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, October 01, 2000 11:06 AM Subject: Fwd: [CTRL] A Funny Thing Happened...

Joshua2 PS: How much loot are Chinese banks Holding for Bill Clinton,the Ron Brown family, and dozens of minor US officials and arms manufacturers? = October 1 2000 EASTERN EUROPE Chinese banks hold $200m of regime's loot © Looking for a way out: Milosevic and his wife, Mira, who may already have fled. Photographs: Sasa Stankovic Nato guards escape routes as Milosevic makes plans to flee Tom Walker, Podgorica NATO and western intelligence networks are closely monitoring all flights out of Belgrade in the belief that President Slobodan Milosevic may flee to China, where he is thought to have up to $200m (£140m) in secret bank accounts. The surveillance operation began even before Milosevic lost last week's presidential election. Diplomats watching the decline of the Serbian regime said that in the past six weeks Borka Vucic, Milosevic's personal banker, had made at least two trips to Beijing. Their sources said her business was connected with the president's family and not the Yugoslav state. American officials say Nato will thwart any attempt by Milosevic to escape from Serbia in a private jet. His likely flight path would take him over Hungary or Romania to Russia, which would probably turn a blind eye if he moved on to Beijing. However, Hungary is a Nato member and Romania hopes to join the alliance. Both countries have interceptor aircraft on standby, ready to force down any private flights from Serbia. Military sources in Bosnia said Nato surveillance had been briefed to look out for a private Falcon jet or the Yugoslav government's official DC10. The whereabouts of Milosevic's wife, Mira Markovic, who was reported to have suffered a nervous breakdown, and children, Marko and Maria, were unknown yesterday. Intelligence officials said they were more concerned with the movements of the president himself, who has been indicted by the international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague for crimes against humanity in Kosovo. The officials said Madeleine Albright, the American secretary of state, was determined to bring Milosevic to justice before the end of the Clinton administration in January. The Milosevic regime is believed to have robbed the state of up to $5 billion, most of it leached out of the country in the early 1990s after all personal bank accounts were frozen in Serbia, ostensibly to help fund the war effort and to counter hyper-inflation. Much of the money was taken to Cyprus, Lebanon and China, and classic money-laundering techniques have made it almost untraceable. Although Milosevic has never indulged himself on the scale of the former Ceausescu dynasty in neighbouring Romania, his security bills are huge and his Chinese savings are believed to be substantial. "We believe he could have anything up to $200m there," said one intelligence source. "It will help him to hide away." Vucic has helped Milosevic with his finances since they worked together at Beogradska Bank 20 years ago. She is now the minister in charge of co- operation with international financial institutions. Intelligence sources say western capitals are watching the movements of members of the Yugoslav regime who may be thought by Milosevic to know too much. They include military figures such as General Dragoljub Ojdanic, the army chief of staff during the Kosovo campaign, and Frenki Simatovic, the head of anti-terrorist forces. Milosevic is also wary of fellow politicians such as Milan Milutinovic, the Serbian president, and Vlajko Stojilkovic, the interior minister. "The future is very difficult for all of them," said one western source. "They'd love to get out, but Slobo has to have them somewhere where he can control them." The source said some members of the regime had already made secret trips to Budapest, the Hungarian capital, offering information on the intricacies of the Belgrade machine in exchange for visas to safe havens. Stojilkovic is said to have been harshly treated last week. Police sources say that he was told by Markovic to bring his most ruthless units onto the streets of Belgrade, but that many had refused. As the extent of police and army sympathy for the opposition became known, Milosevic was said to have hurled an ashtray at Gorica Gajevic, his party secretary.

-Caveat Lector- Comrades: [GVT] The Aftermath of UN Millennium Summit From www.americanpolicy.org/un/aftermathofun.htm The Aftermath of the U.N. Millennium Summit... A Renewed Commitment to Global Governance By Peyton Knight, Associate Editor Now that the U.N. Millennium Summit has come and gone, many are wondering "what happened?" What consensus was reached at the gathering? Are the tools for global governance in place? What will become of our nation¹s sovereignty? Did our president express the best interest of the United States? What can citizens of the U.S. expect now that the Summit is over? While the methods for implementation were vague, the goals for accomplishment were incredibly specific. Everything was promised to everyone. Indeed, the world forum sounded like a roomful of Al Gore¹s, each one trying to outdo the other with how much they could pander to their audience of third world countries and socialist dictators. The underlying theme was simple: The world has problems. Only the U.N. can solve them. Give us the power. Sound familiar? It should. It¹s the same mantra that liberals and socialists alike spew to the easily swayed masses who believe that rights, happiness, and prosperity begin with government programs and end with individual liberty. The most deceptive aspect of all this, is the that U.N. is packaging their socialistic product in a box labeled "democracy." Let¹s examine just a few of the details of the "U.N. Millennium Declaration" which was derived from the Summit. Dictatorial Powers The most frightening new direction the United Nations is taking after their summit is the change in which authority determines the deployment of peacekeeping missions. Traditionally, this authority has been the U.N. Security Council, a board consisting of the major heads of state. This allows the major contributing nations to decide whether or not certain deployments are worthy of their contributed resources. Most importantly, it gives the United States (the hands-down most generous contributor to the U.N. budget) a voice in where the world body will intervene around the world. No longer. Now, peacekeeping decisions will be the sole authority of the U.N. bureaucracyspecifically, the Secretary General. This gives the United Nations unilateral power to deploy "peacekeeping" troops around the globe. No more input from the pesky United States. Nonetheless, the U.S. is still expected to pump exorbitant amounts of money, soldiers and resources into U.N. operationsonly now we have no voice in how those resources are used. How does the Clinton/Gore administration feel about this castration? Let President Clinton tell you in his own words, in his address to the U.N. Security Council at the Millennium Summit. "We must do more to equip the United Nations to do what we ask it to do. They need to be able to be peacekeepers who can be rapidly deployed, properly trained and equipped, able to project credible force. That, of course, is the thrust of the Secretary General¹s report on peacekeeping reform. The United States strongly supports that report." Apparently, the President has no problem signing away our national security, as well as the lives of American soldiers, to the United Nations. The International Criminal Court The U.N.¹s International Criminal Court (ICC) gained some momentum at the Summit. This court would empower the United Nations to enforce its own rule of law. As stated in these pages before, the ICC would reign supreme over every other judicial system in the worldincluding that of the United States. The U.N. has vowed to hold every member of every nation accountable to this court, whether or not that nation ratifies it. At the Summit, the Statute for the ICC was signed by an additional 12 countries and ratified by four. The statute now has a total of 110 signatures and 19 ratifications. This is nearly one third of the 60 total ratifications the ICC must have to enter into force. Also stressed at the Summit, was the need for the United Nations to have its own fighting force for supposed peacekeeping missions. This army would consist of soldiers from varying nationswho would transform their allegiance to the U.N. This proposal has been labeled many things, most notably the U.N. refers to it as the "United Nations Rapid Deployment Police and Security Force" (UNRDF). In reality, this is no more than a U.N. standing army. With the International Criminal Court at its side, the UNRDF will be boundless in its operation. A Turkey in Every Pot The Millennium Summit also served as a stage for the leaders of the United Nations to gain support for their plans of eradicating poverty. Of course, no one likes poverty, however, the U.N.¹s solutions to poverty-stricken areas resemble nothing more than a global "New Deal" list of entitlement programs. In their words: "Global challenges must be managed in a way that distributes the costs and burdens fairly in accordance with basic principles of

Las Vegas Weekly 10-21-99 The Summer Of Hate When a man like Matt Hale is in town, race is a very important issue By Ken Picard If you didn't know any better, and hadn't been paying too close attention, you might assume that Matt Hale and his band of followers in the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC) were nothing more than a bunch of angry social misfits. Dressed in their black T-shirts that read "RAHOWA" (an acronym for "Racial Holy War") and toting red, white and black flags that sport the WCOTC emblem--a large black "W" topped with a crown and halo--they bear a closer resemblance to a gang of prepubescent boys whose clubhouse door reads "No chicks" in drippy paint than to the virulently racist hate group that's been linked to at least a decade's worth of vandalism, arson, assault and murder from Florida to California. Until Hale opens his mouth, that is. That's when the illusion of little boys playing with toy guns disappears. In early September, Hale and a handful of his followers descended upon the ordinarily peaceful town of Superior, some 60 miles west of Missoula, Mont., for their annual meeting at the ranch of Superior resident, and WCOTC member, Slim Deardorff. Hale and seven of his followers gathered at high noon Saturday, on the steps of the Mineral County Courthouse, to exercise their First Amendment rights via Hale's well-rehearsed brand of racist demagoguery. Standing before them were no more than 40 or 50 people, most of us representatives from local and national news agencies, but also a handful of curious onlookers, and a smattering of supporters, not to mention an unknown number of agents from state and federal law enforcement agencies. When Hale began his racist rigmarole, I surmised that most of his onlookers were engaged in some combination of the following: shaking their heads, silently ridiculing him, formulating self-evident arguments in their heads about his ideology, and pondering what better ways we could be spending this fine Saturday afternoon in western Montana than discovering a frightening new reason to lie awake at night. Eradicating the garden variety of ignorance we all encounter on a daily basis can be challenging enough. But how do you combat the deliberate and premeditated ignorance of Matt Hale's arguments? How much breath should you exhaust debating a man who claims that it was the white race who first inhabited the North American continent? Or that the ancient Egyptians and Chinese were originally part of the white race until their blood was "muddied by Negro blood?" Or that the contributions of African Americans to the fields of art, music, sports and literature are "negligible or non-existent?" Or that the Jews have historically been responsible for their own persecution because "there wouldn't be anti-Semitism without Semitism?" Still, I resisted the easy temptation to dismiss Hale outright. The national media and the hate-watch groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, which have been monitoring Hale's activities, have been vigilant in unmasking his followers as hate-mongers with violent tendencies. But despite Hale's reassurances that violence plays no role in his church except as a form of self-defense, the guns he and his followers wore on their belts on the courthouse steps attested to the deadly earnestness of their message. And still, I was still no closer to understanding what makes Hale tick. Despite popular misconception, Hale rejects the label of white supremacist, and instead prefers being called a white separatist. Though the distinction may be a trivial one, as he put it, his "kind" has no interest in ruling over other races. "We do not say that segregation is right," said Hale. "No, segregation was folly. We want separation of the races, and we will campaign to have it. Without racial separation, this nation will one day plunge into civil war." Hale preached that all the non-white races should be repatriated to their country or continent of origin; the blacks to Africa, the "Orientals" to the Orient, the Arabs to Arabia, ad infinitum. Exactly where Hale would "repatriate" the Native Americans to was unclear--he made some nebulous reference to their Siberian origins and their subsequent migration across the Bering Strait--but could offer no specifics as to how such a mass deportation might be accomplished. And when I pointed out that his definition of the white race refers to peoples of northern European descent, and asked why he didn't want to return whence he came, he dodged the question altogether. Hale was equally ambiguous about what spiritual aspects, if any, there are to his church. While he said, "There will not be a god from the sky to deliver us from evil," he nonetheless spoke of holding church services later that afternoon, and said he encourages his adherents to engage in fasting for its "spiritual benefits." Hale appeared more comfortable treading on the scientific realm, though even that

[CTRL] China says Vatican's newest saints were sinners
-Caveat Lector- China says Vatican's newest saints were sinners, rapists By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN The Associated Press 10/1/00 12:22 PM BEIJING (AP) -- China on Sunday proclaimed its "utmost indignation" at the pope for bestowing sainthood on 120 Catholics who died under Chinese religious persecution, saying they were "evil-doing sinners" guilty of rape and plunder. The condemnation by the Foreign Ministry was echoed by the leader of China's state-run Catholic church, Bishop Fu Tieshan, who called the canonization ceremony led by Pope John Paul II on Sunday in Rome "intolerable." "Some of those canonized by the Vatican this time perpetrated outrages such as raping and looting in China and committed unforgivable crimes against the Chinese people," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Xinhua News Agency. In a separate statement, the government released the names of two saints it said "committed monstrous crimes in China." One was Albericus Crescitelli -- a Vatican Web site gave the first name Alberico -- described as an Italian missionary who died in the anti-Western, anti-Christian Boxer uprising a century ago. Crescitelli "was notorious for taking the 'right of the first night' of each bride under his diocese," the State Administration of Religious Affairs said in the statement, also run by Xinhua. The statement also brought up an example often cited by Western and Chinese scholars: Auguste Chapdelaine, a French missionary whose execution by the Chinese the French used as a pretext for attacks on China beginning in 1857. The pope declared the 120 -- 87 Chinese Catholics, the rest foreign missionaries -- martyrs because they died for their faith, mostly at the hands of the Boxers. The Vatican's choice of Sunday as the date for the ceremony also outraged Chinese officials and religious leaders because it falls on the 51st anniversary of communist rule in China. Earlier Sunday, Fu told worshippers in Beijing's South Cathedral that Sunday should be a rallying point for Chinese. "Today is National Day, and more than ever Chinese Catholics should stand with the nation," Fu said at morning services in the high-vaulted church, built in 1904 on a site where Catholics have worshipped in Beijing for more than 300 years. Fu's sentiments were repeated among worshippers at South Cathedral, which was burned to the ground by the superstitious Boxers, who are praised by the Communist Party as forerunners of the revolution. "Saints should be role models, but these were criminals against the Chinese people. This is an insult to China and an insult to the Chinese Catholics," a churchgoer said. China broke ties with the Vatican in 1951 and demands Catholics worship only in churches approved by the official China Patriotic Catholic Association. The official church claims 4 million believers but an equal number worship in an underground church loyal to the Vatican and relentlessly persecuted. The Vatican has denied that Sunday's ceremony was politically motivated. Vatican officials have said Sunday was chosen, not because it was China's National Day, but because it marks the feast of Saint Therese of Lisieux, patron saint of missionaries.

To many the covert tactics mirror the government's highly controversial and murderous COINTELPRO efforts in the late 1960s and 1970s which targeted many radical movements including anti-war protesters and black nationalists. Since the massive World Trade Organization protests in Seattle last fall, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has switched its focus away from violent right-wing domestic terrorists to a movement that often cites Gandhi as an inspiration. "Virtually every resource that the FBI has available will be put into play," said Thomas J. Harrington, the assistant special agent-in-charge in the FBI's Philadelphia office told the Philadelphia Inquirer prior to the Republican National Convention which attracted thousands of protests in late July and early August. "After the Atlanta Olympics it was bombings that were the main focus. . . . Now protesters have become more of a focus." Any why are counterintelligence efforts needed? ``There are people who may do more than exercise their First Amendment rights,'' said David Yarnell, a department spokesman for the Philadelphia police explaining why the department took preventive measures during the convention. "We were watching. We were making surveillance efforts. It's just prudent preparations for anything," Yarnell told the Philadelphia Inquirer. What may be most alarming is who the "we" Yarnell is talking about. According to a May report in the French publication Intelligence Newsletter, "the Pentagon sent around 700 men from the Intelligence and Security Command at Fort Belvoir to assist the Washington police on April 17, including specialists in human and signals intelligence. One unit was even strategically located on the fourth floor balcony in a building at 1919 Pennsylvania Avenue with a birds-eye view of most demonstrators." The Intelligence Newsletter report also noted that "to justify their interest in anti-globalization groups from a legal standpoint, the authorities lump them into a category of terrorist organizations. Among those considered as such at present are Global Justice (the group that organized the April 17 demonstration), Earth First, Greenpeace, American Indian Movement, Zapatista National Liberation Front and Act-Up." Similar surveillance techniques were used in Europe prior to the September 26 protests in Prague. The Prague IndyMedia Center recently reported that the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic made an unexpected visit to an Italian web firm that hosted the Prague IMC site. Foreign protesters have also been prevented from entering the Czech Republic on various legal technicalities, the Prague IMC has reported. In addition to tracking such organizations, police officials have taken draconian measures in raiding buildings used by demonstrators to organize and often condemning the buildings, on what protest leaders often claim to be trumped up violations done not to protect the public safety but to curtail free speech. On April 15, a day before the April 16 Washington D.C. protest against the International Monetary Fund, a them of officials from federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Washington Metropolitan Police Department and
[CTRL] Fwd: Ellen P. Lacter, Ph.D. Response to Mark Sauer re: Cuirio Jones
PROBLEMS FOR VICTIMS OF RITUAL ABUSE IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA Opinion Piece Submitted to the San Diego Union-Tribune, by Ellen Lacter, Ph.D. on 9-29-2000 Mark Sauer's 9-24-00 article, "A Web of Intrigue", in the San Diego Union-Tribune is his most recent in a series of articles misrepresenting the facts on the subject of child ritual abuse and attacking advocates for ritual abuse victims. His articles have, over the past 10 years, contributed to convincing a good portion of the San Diego community that ritual abuse does not exist. This has had a devastating impact on victimized children and adults, resulting in their not being believed and reduced protection by law enforcement and the courts. Sauer's factual misrepresentations of 9-24-00 are as follows: 1. Sauer claims the debate over satanic ritual abuse ended in the mid-1990's when it was "discredited by mental-health experts and the courts". The truth is that psychological and legal evidence of the existence of satanic ritual abuse is substantial and that the debate is alive and well. A review of the empirical evidence of ritual abuse can be found in a book by James Randolph Noblitt and Pamela Sue Perskin (Cult and Ritual Abuse, 2000, Chapter 6). One national survey of 2709 clinical psychologists showed that 30% claimed to have seen at least one case of "ritualistic or religion-based abuse" and 93% of these psychologists believed the harm actually occurred (Reference: Goodman, Qin, Bottoms, and Shaver, 1994, "Characteristics and Sources of Allegations of Ritualistic Child Abuse: Final Report to the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect"). The American Psychiatric Press published a text in 1997 explaining the importance of correct assessment and treatment of ritualistic abuse survivors (The Dilemma of Ritual Abuse: Cautions and Guides for Therapists, edited by G.A. Fraser). Numerous court decisions (criminal, family, juvenile, and civil) have been based on findings of ritual abuse. For example, on February 27, 1999, the Honorable Warren K. Urbom, Senior United States District Judge, Omaha, Nebraska, awarded a million dollar civil judgement to Paul Bonacci against Larry King (not the well-known talk-show host, Larry King), based on King's sexual abuse (including pornography and orgies) and false imprisonment, of Bonacci as a child, in the infamous Franklin satanic cult/sex/drug ring case. Further information on this case can be found in the book, "The Franklin Cover-Up", by John De Camp, and on the Internet at: http://www.stansolomon.com/gundrsn02.htm The court finding list is archived, periodically updated, and published on the world-wide web by "Karen Curio Jones". Under this pseudonym, "Jones" has devoted herself to raising public awareness of child ritual abuse on the Internet for the past five years. Sauer claims to expose "Jones'" identity in his 9-24-00 article. Sauer globally denies the existence of satanic ritual abuse while our recent history is marred with undeniable cases of mass suicide/homicide by other kinds of cults and underground groups. This past summer, almost 1000 people were found murdered by an underground cult in Uganda, "Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God". Last year, in Rancho Sante Fe, 39 people suicided from the cult, "Heaven's Gate". In Jonestown, 22 years ago, more than 900 people mass-suicided and were murdered of "The People's Temple". Devastating world events originate in underground groups, such as the Third Reich and Ku Klux Klan. High school students are taught to remember the Nazi death camps lest such atrocities repeat themselves. Given these examples, why does Sauer turn a blind eye to the evidence of satanic cult abuse? 2. Sauer cites the McMartin Pre-school acquittals as evidence that ritual abuse does not exist. He omits any mention of the post-trial geological survey under the school's foundation that yielded convincing corroboration of the children's reports of being taken through underground tunnels (See "The Dark Tunnels of McMartin", by Summit, R.C., 1994, The Journal of Psychohistory, 21(4), 397-416.) 3. Sauer cites the "10-year investigation" by Special FBI Agent Ken Lanning that concluded that satanic ritual abuse does not exist. Sauer fails to mention that Lanning is a very controversial figure. Noblitt and Perskin (2000, see above) state: "In reality, there is no such study... my office contacted the FBI and requested a copy of the alleged study. The bureau responded in writing indicating that no such study existed." (See page 179 of their book). 4. Sauer refers to the 1991-1992 San Diego County Grand Jury "that blasted the child protection system after investigating wide-ranging allegations of zealous social workers removing children from their homes without cause". Sauer has widely publicized the findings of that Grand Jury over the years. Sauer fails to mention the 1992-1993 San Diego County Grand Jury Report that strongly criticized the 1991-1992

Legal aid lawyers and clients challenged such a restriction enacted in 1997, saying it violated free-speech and associational rights protected by the Constitution. --Can states require congressional candidates to push for term limits or be branded as opponents on the election ballot? A lower court said Missouri's "scarlet letter" law violated candidates' free-speech rights. --May the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulate the use of land containing waters that are home to migrating birds?

[CTRL] Now They Want To Put Jellyfish in Our Sugar
-Caveat Lector- Now They Want To Put Jellyfish in Our Sugar BY JOHN INGHAM ENVIRONMENT EDITOR, www.lineone.com JELLYFISH genes have been put into sugar cane in a shocking new genetically modified food development approved by Australian government scientists. They hope the gene will help stop juice extracted from raw sugar cane from browning when it is crushed. But scientists, environmentalists and politicians yesterday condemned the move as a step too far down the GM road. The Daily Express has already revealed research by Chinese scientists to put human genes into tobacco, tomatoes and potatoes. They want to establish whether the genes allow the crops to grow in land contaminated with heavy metals. Greenpeace campaigner Andy Tait, who was this month cleared in a GM crop-wrecking trial, branded the research as "irresponsible". He said it gave the lie to the biotech industry's claim that GM crops are just an extension of traditional cropbreeding. Mr Tait added: "We are breaking species barriers in a way that could never happen naturally with entirely unknown impacts on the environment and the food chain. This is incredibly irresponsible behaviour by companies obsessed with short-term profit at the expense of sustainable agricultural production." Professor Carlo Leifert, whose postgraduate students have carried out controlled research into jellyfish genes in plants, found the Australian work "incredibly worrying". One of his students at Aberdeen University had discovered that inserting a jellyfish gene into a bacterium rendered its original function - a control of soil diseases - "useless". Professor Leifert said: "It is another example of the completely unpredictable nature of genetic transformation. By putting the jellyfish gene into sugar cane you could change the toxicity spectrum in the plant." "This could change the toxins the plant produces to defend itself from insects into toxins that could potentially harm consumers." Friends of the Earth said the trials were "a step way too far for the public" and branded it "commercial suicide" for any company that bought the sugar if it was ever cleared for consumption. Sugar manufacturers also revealed that they would not sell the GM product should it ever come to market. Tate Lyle and British Sugar are both GM free and say they intend to remain so. Liberal Democrat Consumer Affairs spokesman Norman Baker said: "Consumers would be horrified. They want to have confidence when they buy this basic commodity that they are getting sugar not jellyfish. This is particularly worrying for vegetarians. The question is, where will it end?" The controversy began with the announcement this week that Australia's Genetic Manipulation Advisory Committee had approved sugar cane using a jellyfish gene for field trials.The cane has already been produced by Australian government scientists and will be grown at three sites in Queensland over the next three years. © Express Newspapers, 2000 A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Rudolph Steiner and the War of all against All
Title: Rudolph Steiner and the War of all against All KOMRADES: Justine Blake asks: I know this is going to sound a bit confused, but I find what is happening today with politikal korrektness and activists going at it every which way to be konfusing as to who is behind it all mostly. So bear with me, and any insights are greatly appreciated. snip On the other hand, maybe marxist/leninist/socialists/communists have a point? Big government and big corporations, and IMF, WTC, etc., even democracy, have done nothing for me as a tax slave living in Amerika. I prefer willing sex slaves myself. But more to the point: Here and again, posted in this list has been references to a rather mysterious personality named Rudolph Steiner (1864-1925); an Austrian philosopher, occultist, educator (the Waldorf Schools), clairvoyant, perhaps the best ever known. I have attempted to study this man's works for over 30 years. In my opionio (sp?) (you know 'onion with a 'p' in front) he is one of the most neglected genusis of the century. One cannot just pick up any book or printed lecture by this guy and streight way make sense of it. His lectures and books were built on primary knowledge basis that had to be understood before one went on with his ideas. In this way he is like Heidigger, and (you know) the phenomanology philosophers whose names escape me and I couldn't spell anyway. But the matter at hand is what he said about the end of the century and matters going into the 21st. The most dire idea was what he called the 'War of all against all. That it could be in full flames (like right now). In the 1970's I spoke at length (over many occassions) with a German priest by the name of Carl Stegmann. Stegmann was in his eighties, his intellect, clear as a bell. He had personally known Rudloph Steiner. During this time Stegmann wrote two books published as manuscript titled: The Other America 'The Western World in Light of Spiritual Science'. These are not lite reading and require some familiarity with Steiner's basic ideas. (BTW Steiner was associated with the Theosophy movement and Madame Blavatsky at the turn of the century). I intend to publish some of these thoughts of Stegmann and Steiner to this list (that is, when I can get time to get them together). The reason being that events such as we are witnessing on a daily basis cannot be understood from the so-called normal materialistic intellect. We have to consider spiritual forces playing heavily upon mankind at this time and these will only increase in the future. It is man's destiny to incarnate physically, but we form a unity with intelligences that are non material; called angels of various types, and spirits that are very dark in their nature, highly intelligent, strong willed with an agenda that harks back to myth and the Bible. Due to our earth bound orientation many experiences from 'other realms' become UFO, invasion from Mars or what ever. When, in reality, most of these are really spiritual experiences that we are not familiar. That is all changing. This is not to say UFO's are just a twinkling of our reemerging 3rd eye, some may be very tangible. The jest of the battle now taking place is that new forces are emerging in mankind as a whole. We will eventually reacquire the clairvoyant faculties that were lost when the last islands of Alantis sunk. This will introduce us into an entirely new world and enrich mankind. But they are forces whose nature makes them want to rule us and eventually turn us into themselves. That would mean becoming part of the Borg if I may borrow that term from TV. The Borg wish to keep us blind and materialistic as possible; to forment troubles between every group of people, to split families, to control our thinking in all possible ways. You see the Borg or evil ones cannot change the fact that mankind will evolve these new faculities (to ever greater heights over several thousand years) but they wish to control that new vision and experience and channel it into directions that suit their evolution, not ours. Those souls that take up Borgness, as it were, will lose their individuality, their will, and in time, be torn out of the cosmic pattern that mankind is destined to obtain. Now, I admit, ideas like this are not necessairly new nor do they lead themselves to 'sound-bite' mentality; nor to rabid bible or Koran 'thumpers' simplistic intreputations. But for me, when I really begain to look at events from the perspective of Steiner and Stegmann, events which has been totally a mystery begin to become somewhat transparent. The manipulation was immediately visible when connecting the dots. We all feel this every single day, that forces, somewhere are interviening heavily into our lives and it takes strength and courage and most of all a great deal of love to see the souls that are really important to us are not manipulated into somekind of craziness and destruction that seems to be wanting to close in upon

-Caveat Lector- Hawking says greenhouse effect threatens human race survival The Associated Press LONDON (September 30, 2000 10:12 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - Stephen Hawking fears the human race may not survive another millennium. "I am afraid the atmosphere might get hotter and hotter until it will be like Venus with boiling sulfuric acid," the physicist told Britain's Press Association. "I am worried about the greenhouse effect." To ensure the survival of humans, he adds, efforts must be made to colonize other planets. Space travel would not solve every problem, but at least it would ensure that people don't become extinct. "It takes too many resources to send each person into space," he said. "But unless the human race spreads into space, I doubt it will survive the next thousand years."

[CTRL] Israelis use missiles against Palestinian police
-Caveat Lector- http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=123743 Sunday, 1 October 2000 13:00 (ET) Israelis use missiles against Palestinian police By SAUD ABU RAMADAN RAFAH, Gaza Strip, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Israeli military helicopters Sunday used anti-tank missiles to attack two Palestinian police buildings in the southern town Gaza of Rafah, killing two police officers and wounding 70 civilians. The Israelis used missiles after Palestinian police officers opened fire at an Israeli military outlook post on the borders between Gaza Strip and Egypt during the clashes between hundreds of stones throwers and Israeli soldiers. Palestinian medical sources confirmed that two Palestinian police officers arrived dead at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, and at least 70 civilians and police officers were injured in the missile attack. Eyewitnesses in Rafah told United Press International that hundreds of Palestinians broke into the border area between Gaza and Egypt that is controlled by Israeli army patrols and an outlook post. They said that hundreds of protesters began to throw stones at the Israeli soldiers Sunday morning. The soldiers located along the borders responded by shooting tear gas and rubber bullets. The clashes continued, and when one of the Palestinian police officers was shot and injured, his colleagues began to shoot at the Israeli soldiers, said the eyewitnesses. The Israeli soldiers were located at the military tower on the borders and the Palestinian police officers were responding to the fire from the adjacent houses and also from their bases next to the borders. The Palestinians said that while both sides were trading fire, two Israeli military helicopters fired 15 anti-tank missiles at the two building of the military intelligence. The results, two killed and dozens injured. In Gaza, at Nitzarim crossroad, Palestinian police and Israeli soldiers traded fire, where Palestinians reported that one Palestinian police officer was killed and more than 60 people injured. In the West bank town on Nablus, a two Palestinians were killed, one a police officer who was killed when Israeli soldiers and Palestinian police officers traded fire near the grave of Josef out side the city of Nablus. Outside the West Bank city of Ramallah, three Palestinians were reported dead in the clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian police officers and Palestinian demonstrators. Palestinians said Israeli soldiers occupied the Palestinian Hotel City Inn at the entrance to Ramallah after they forced customers out and tried to disperse Palestinian police officers and demonstrators. Palestinian radio reported that the Israeli soldiers stationed 15 tanks outside the West Bank town of Nablus and were supported by three military helicopters near the grave of Josef outside Nablus City. Palestinians reported that the toll of Palestinians killed Sunday in the West Bank and Gaza reached to 10 Palestinians, and more than 300 injured by life ammunition and rubber-coated metal bullets. They are divided as follow: 2 in Gaza, 5 in Nablus, and 3 in Ramallah; four of them were Palestinian police officers and two were children. In the Israeli-Arab town of Omm El Fahem, Palestinian radio reported that two Israeli-Arabs were shot and killed in the protests and demonstrations that dominated most of the Israeli Arab towns and villages in the northern area of Israel. Hamas leader Isma'eel Abu Shanab called upon the Palestinian authority to release all Hamas militants and send them to carry out attacks into Israel as a respond to what he described, "killing innocent Palestinians in cold blood." Secretary General of the PA Cabinet accused the Israeli government that it is "committing massacres against our people in order to oblige them to accept the political solutions that Israel wants to impose on the Palestinians." -- Copyright 2000 by United Press International.

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Ellen P. Lacter, Ph.D. Response to Mark Sauer re: Cuirio Jones
-Caveat Lector- Reading this item was very interesting; in the 70 period there was a Wiccan who went underground for he said the Military Intelligence had infiltrated into his group. Which it had; I have many of his old newspapers and it was obviously some type of front, dating back to 60 period. Sharon Tate who was murdered by Manson Famly had father in military; two of his followers had fathers in military, Pentagon and NASA.consider Littleton, and the military connection to this hypnotic conrol or mind control induced by drugs, and when you put this altogether consider too, Tate and Folger murdered by the Manson killers, had had dinner with RFK night he died - and the night he was murdered, John Glenn was with him and was spirited off...during this period you had spies on West Coast galore permitted to demoralize troops in bars - and things were not as they seemed to be. Anton LaVey, the alleged "satanist" was Jewishin this article which I reproduce he turned into satanist for obviou$$ reasons, but stated it was because he hated Christianity. All these groups are just fronts for drugs and pornography. Roman Polanski was involved in child pornography and fled the country after his wife was murdered..Note the satanist LaVey portrayed in the movie Rosemary's Baby.this movie was ANTI CATHOLIC.I forget who produced that obscenity with Mia Farrow but Black Muslem papers referred to this movie and the connection to the Pope, whom they detested. This stuff is all a front for drugs.if you check out LaVey when he died, and prior to that his bankruptcy hearings and sharing with his palimony live in whatever - his business was to make money. It seems the Wiccans and LaVey lost a lot of popularity when Charles Manson and his little followers (and who was Manson's mentor - this man had strong connections to the music world, and organized crime) showed them what real satanism was..but during this time frame military had infiltrated into these groups for rather obvious reasons. You see they were strong believers in the iniquities of the fathers being visited upon the children.even little CIA Pattie Hearst (for all Hearsts like Morgan, Mellon, Rockefeller etc heirs) are CIA...and Hearst was big time Rosicrucian..so Hearst played role in murder of two presidents, but did not get due credit for death of JFK.premeditated murder by prophecy (assisted by hired gun). So put this big mess altogether and you see spies and remember, the Walker spies years later in 1980 period formed a little KKK for the KGB and it took 5 Golden Dragons to down that bunch .. Propaganda - terror - drugs - pornography - and even a little voo doo tossed in with satanism for its all in the game.. So consider why Anton LaVey, Jewish founder of the Church of Satan would be an advisor for the movie Rosemary's Baby - an anti Pope Catholic movie? Sublime pictures but even the Black Moslems caught that one LaVey is dead - he was nothing but a front for drugs and pornography and anything evil coming down the pike for it was the big bucks he was after..not many bought his particular type of literature except maybe the Manson family and Roman Polanski - the sick twisted pererted child molestor? Always lurking about is the child molestor and child pornographyerPolanski was having affairor molested 13 year old little girlconnecting dots as this one person said, makes for bigger picture.then toss in the political assassination of RFK and mind controlled assassins walking about - whose assassins had to be in the Rosicrucian Society but had information prior to his joining of this cult.so, who was his mentor and controller? Sab In the News Anton LaVey Dies SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (EP) Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, died Oct. 29 of pulmonary edema. He was 67. LaVey was cremated after a Satanic funeral. LaVey founded the Church of Satan in 1966, and drew national attention the next year when he performed a Satanic wedding ceremony. He played the devil in the film "Rosemary's Baby," and worked as a consultant on movies. He also wrote The Satanic Bible and four other books; his final book, Satan Speaks, is scheduled for release next spring. His daughter, Church of Satan High Priestess Karla LaVey, said, "We will continue in his footsteps to do as he directed to keep the Church of Satan going and keep it strong." The church claims more than 10,000 members. Before becoming a professional Satanist, LaVey worked as a lion tamer, organist, hypnotist, psychic, artist and photographer. * Family members said he did not believe in a personal devil, but turned to Satanic imagery to provoke a reaction and illustrate his disdain for Christianity. His daughter told a news conference, "He said his epitaph should be ... 'I only regret the times that I was too nice.'" * Rev. Moon to Close Unification Church?

-Caveat Lector- http://www.iht.com/IHT/TODAY/SAT/IN/taiwan.2.html Paris, Saturday, September 30, 2000 Beijing Warns of 'Interference' From U.S.-Taiwan Arms Deal Compiled by Our Staff From Dispatches WASHINGTON -The Pentagon has announced a series of arms sales to Taiwan valued at $1.3 billion, including a type of air-to-air missile it previously had refused to sell and an advanced military communications system. The Pentagon, in written statements Thursday, said the sale would ''not affect the basic military balance in the region.'' But Beijing responded Friday by saying the deal amounted to ''rude interference'' in internal Chinese affairs. ''The U.S., regardless of China's solemn representations, will flagrantly sell a large number of advanced weapons to Taiwan,'' said a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Sun Yuxi, in a statement issued by the official Xinhua press agency. ''The U.S. side should bear the serious consequences arising therefrom.'' The Pentagon said the 200 AIM-120C medium-range, air-to-air missiles would enhance the defensive capabilities of Taiwan's U.S.- made F-16 fighter jets. Yang Chih-heng, an expert on Taiwan's military, called the sale a breakthrough. Washington has in the past refused to approve sales of such missiles to Taiwan. ### Government control of private-sector industry used to be called fascism.

[CTRL] Fwd: Where The Wild Things Are
This is a letter from the daughter of Anton LaVey (real name Levy) to Aquinas.. Note the reference to her mother being Diana, the Huntress (Charles Spencer of course, brother of the Princess of Wales, referred to the little Princess of Wales, Diana, as the Huntress who became the hunted...Acts 19 is good for anyhing to do with sabotage an death of Diana timed datewise to her death and sabatoge of Apollo). Anyway, you get into this stuff and like Promethus..which symbolizes a lot of things in military - you might see why a Colonel (wasn't he in reserves, not regular army) might be put into stuff like this? Regardless, this letter reveals quite a bit = under subject matter you can bring up stuff on LaVey who haed Judeo Christian bible - yet used it for all its worth..but this Hollywood connection is always good, is it not - they know the key of propaganda and the effects of drugs and hypnotic mind control, i.e. Littleton - made the movie first, then the kids got onto the stage with big real AK's and finished the job on a live stage So notes I have dating back to 1969 show hookup to our space program and sabatoge equating to some of this stuff..all wear masques..when unveiled same old bunch. For what kind of people go about murdering others? Name Zena is from New Testament...think it would be taken from Demon's Dictionary. And cui bono? Goodbye New World Order - Saba Zeena Schreck The following is a letter from Zeena LaVey to Michael Aquino (Temple Of Set) Back RADIO WEREWOLF Ministry of Propaganda Public Enlightenment 30 December 1990/XXVAS Dear Dr. Aquino: With the dawning of a new year, I felt this to be an ideal time to communicate some thoughts to you that I trust shall bring about a new awareness in many regards. First of all, you should be aware that as of 30 April, 1990 (Anno XXV) I officially and ritually ended my position as Church of Satan representative-defender and daughter of Anton LaVey. This ritual brought all contact between myself and the Church of Satan, including my unfather, to a complete cessation. Although I felt it my responsibility as a sincere advocate of the unnamable forces we experience to attempt to fight off the Judeo-Christian hysteria of the '80s, I became too disgusted with the organization and the individual I was foolishly standing in for to continue this charade in "good" conscience. While I have no regrets in my battle with the forces of ignorance, and my own unswerving dedication to _my_ religion has only grown, I could no longer defend such an ungrateful and unworthy individual as the so-called Black Pope. I feel it is only just that I give credit where credit is due, and acknowledge that you have been quite correct about many aspects of the modus operandi of the Church of Satan's fearless leader. Essentially, he is a coward and could not possibly deal with the hostility that we have had to encounter in publicly defending our beliefs. Despite this repellent lack of warrior spirit or pride on his part, he was filled, and still is, with petty jealous criticism of my efforts. This was easy for him to do from the safe vantage point of the comfortable and risk-free easy chair we know he has lived in for decades. Besides my public appearances, I have also made many valuable and unprecedented contacts with police and law enforcement officials in the interest of providing more enlightened treatment of Satanists everywhere. Of course, the mighty "High Priest" succeeded in sabotaging these efforts to his own disadvantage, in addition to the disadvantage of all practicing magicians. I believe he is, through his ostrich-in-the-sand stance, a detriment to any attempt at halting the scapegoat fever that has entered all of "our" private lives. Indeed, his irresponsible laziness has repeatedly and ignorantly endangered my life as well as the lives of many who were misguided enough to support him. The most recent and blatant example of this may be found in the publication of the absurd catalogue of lies entitled _Secret Life of a Satanist_ by (as told to) Blanche Barton. This fluffy PR release masquerading as a book included, with typical irresponsibility, a photo of my son without ever seeking his or my permission. Like all of the self-serving bullshit printed in this volume, the malignant use of an innocent child to buttress a flagging reputation and self- esteem is a new low point in a career already dotted with depths. For your information, despite Barton's claim, Anton LaVey has never given "tutelage" of any sort to his grandson. In fact my son was shocked and angered at being hypocritically exploited by his grandfather's pathetic effort to portray himself as a loving family man. Furthermore, despite the fact that this biography was printed long after my resignation, Barton knowingly lied by perpetuating the idea that I have anything at all to do with CoS and its founder. If Barton chooses to spin other falsehoods

[CTRL] 'Right of first night'
-Caveat Lector- China says Vatican's newest saints were sinners, rapists snip Crescitelli "was notorious for taking the 'right of the first night' of each bride under his diocese," the State Administration of Religious Affairs said in the statement, also run by Xinhua. I've heard of the 'right of the first night' in association with the British land owners in Ireland and also in association with slave owners in the US south. Does anyone know where this 'tradition' started (probably in the first cave inhabited by humans) or have any information or studies related to this so-called 'right'?

Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com Homosexual-Recruitment Drive Nearing Goal SAN FRANCISCO -- Spokespersons for the National Gay Lesbian Recruitment Task Force announced Monday that more than 288,000 straights have been converted to homosexuality since Jan. 1, putting the group well on pace to reach its goal of 350,000 conversions by the end of the year. "Thanks to the tireless efforts of our missionaries nationwide, in the first seven months of this year, nearly 300,000 heterosexuals were ensnared in the Pink Triangle," said NGLRTF co-director Patricia Emmonds. "Clearly, the activist homosexual lobby is winning." Emmonds credited much of the recruiting success to the gay lobby's infiltration of America's public schools, where programs promoting the homosexual lifestyle are regularly presented to children as young as 5. "It's crucial that we reach these kids while they're still young," Emmonds said. "That's when they're most vulnerable to our message of sexual promiscuity and deviance." "When I grow up, I want to be gay," said Christopher Linn, 8, a second-grader at Philadelphia's Lakeside Elementary School, one of thousands of public schools nationwide that actively promote the homosexual agenda. "I don't want to have a family or go to church." "Straight people don't have any fun," said Teddy Nance, 11, after watching Breeders Are Boring!, an anti-heterosexual filmstrip, in his fifth-grade class at Crestwood Elementary School in Roanoke, VA. "Gay people get to do whatever they want." In addition to school programs that target youths, the NGLRTF launched a $630 million advertising campaign this year in an effort to convert adults to homosexuality. The campaign, which features TV and radio spots, as well as print advertising in major national magazines, has helped convince thousands of people to leave their spouses and families for a life of self-gratification and irresponsibility. "The gay lifestyle is for me," said James Miller, an Oklahoma City father of four who recently moved to Provincetown, MA, to pursue a career in bath-house management. "When I was a family man, I constantly had to worry about things like taking the kids to Little League practice, paying for their braces, and remembering my wife's birthday. But now that I'm gay, I'm finally free to focus all my energy on having non-stop, mind-blowing anal sex." Though Emmonds said gays have been tremendously successful in tearing at the fabric of society and subverting basic decency, she stressed that their work is far from over. "For all the progress we've made, America is still overwhelmingly heterosexual," said Emmonds, who is calling for an additional $2.6 billion in federal aid to further the gay agenda. "If we are to insidiously penetrate American society, as we constantly do each other's orifices, we need more money and resources. Without such help, this country will remain the domain of decent, moral, God-fearing Christians. And that would be a sin." Copyright (c) 2000 Onion, Inc., All rights reserved.

[CTRL] Konformist: Withering Democracy (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2000 14:26:59 -0700 From: Sheila Goldner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Konformist: Withering Democracy Wed, 27 Sep Robert Weissman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Withering Democracy By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman For all but the ideologically committed or deluded few who believe corporations and their executives make contributions out of a sense of civic obligation, there can be little doubt that the U.S. campaign finance system is fundamentally corrupt, and corrupting. But it would be a mistake to make this observation and reach the obvious conclusion that the current system of private contributions must be replaced by a system of public financing, and then fail to dig further. Because the available campaign finance data provides a host of insights into the pattern of corporate investment in politics and politicians in the United States. Superb new data collections from the invaluable Center for Responsive Politics (CRP, data at www.opensecrets.org) detail the nature of major industrial sector contribution patterns over the last decade, compiling contributions from individuals affiliated with industries, political action committee (PAC) contributions and soft money donations (made to the political parties). Here is some of what their data shows: 1. Every single major industrial sector except for communications/ electronics now favors the Republican Party. The CRP industry groupings are: agribusiness; communications/electronics; construction; defense; energy/natural resources; finance/insurance/real estate; health; transportation; and a catch-all miscellaneous business category, including liquor, casinos, chemicals, food, advertising, steel production and textiles. The communications/electronics contributions lean slightly toward the Democrats, powered by contributions from Hollywood. The TV/movie/music sector, constituting about a third of overall donations from the communications/electronics sector, gives more than 60 percent of its contributions to Democrats. 2. Despite the overall tilt to the Republicans, every major industrial sector contributes large sums to the Democrats as well. Agribusiness and energy/natural resources, two of the most pro-Republican industries, gave the Democrats $69 million and $64 million, respectively, in the election cycles from 1990 to 2000. 3. The only reliably Democratic supporters are lawyers/lobbyists (reflecting trial lawyer contributions) and labor. Lawyers/lobbyists directed nearly 70 percent of their contributions to the Democrats. Labor sent more than 90 percent of its monies to the Dems. 4. The major shift to the Republicans followed the 1994 elections, in which the Republicans took control of both houses of Congress. Corporate contributions generally flow to the majority party, both because it has more incumbents and the companies seek to win influence with those in office, and because the majority party controls the legislative agenda. 5. Of the major industrial sectors, agribusiness, construction, energy/natural resources and transportation, plus the miscellaneous business category, appear firmly entrenched in the Republican camp. They favored the Republicans even when they were the minority in Congress, and now favor them by large margins. The health industries and finance/insurance/real estate both give about 60 percent of their contributions to the Republicans, while defense gives an even higher share to the GOP, but each of these sectors split their contributions relatively evenly when the Democrats controlled Congress. Communications/electronics companies now divide their contributions evenly, and favored the Democrats in the elections through 1994. 6. The broad sector totals may in some cases obscure differences within industry groupings. For example, in the energy sector, while oil and gas have always been staunchly Republican, now giving more than three-fourths of their contributions to the Party of Lincoln, electric utilities have tilted more Democratic. Although about two-thirds of utility money now goes to the Republicans, utilities favored the Democrats when they controlled Congress. In the finance sector, real estate firms and securities/investment banks have shaded more Democratic than insurance companies and commercial banks. The former now give about 43 percent of their monies to the Democrats, while insurance companies and commercial banks give only one-third to the minority party. In general, however, industrial sectors appear to act in concert. 7. Specific sector contributions spike at certain periods, correlating with Congressional consideration of major legislation of interest to particular industries. Agribusiness contributions rise prior to adoption of the periodic Farm Bill. Communications/electronic contributions nearly doubled from 1994 to 1996, prior to adoption of the 1996 Telecommunications Act.

Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com NIXON'S TREASON: He Stopped an Early Peace in Vietnam Thu, 21 Sep 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (D. Flynn) Looks like the Republicans sabotaged an October Surprise before 1980. NIXON'S TREASON: He Stopped an Early Peace in Vietnam Drugs, Wife-Beating -- What About 20,000 American Dead? Marty Jezer is the author of The Dark Ages; Life in the USA and Abbie Hoffman (on which the new movie, Steal This Movie, is based). A new biography of Richard Nixon has made media headlines in recent weeks: mostly for the wrong reasons. The Arrogance of Power: The Secret World of Richard Nixon by Anthony Summers makes the claim that Nixon beat his wife in 1962 and that in 1974 he was so looped from self-prescribing the mood-altering prescription drug Dilantin that his Secretary of Defense, James R. Schlesinger, had to tell military commanders to confirm all orders emanating from the White House with the Pentagon or the State Department. The wife-beating story is obviously second hand. No one can possibly verify it except Pat and Dick, and they're dead. Summers tries to puff it up by claiming that Nixon's psychological profile fits that of typical batterers. Nixon may have been a bastard but there's no hard evidence that he was a batterer. Violence against women is serious business, but even Richard Nixon deserves to be considered innocent until proven guilty. The sources for the Dilantin include Schlesinger himself, as well as Jack Dreyfus, the founder of the Dreyfus Fund, who apparently loved Dilantin so much he gave bottles of one-thousand 100 milligram capsules to all his friends. The Dreyfus story adds to other absurdist stories of the Nixon presidency. Recall Nixon's famous photo-op with Elvis Presley. In order to gain credibility with young people, Nixon deputized Elvis to help fight the war on drugs. Presley, of course, was zonked at the time. There is a third major accusation that Summers makes in his biography. And this, a consequential historical story, has been ignored by the media. In order to win the presidential campaign of 1968, Summers says, candidate Nixon undermined a serious initiative to end the Vietnam War. This is not the first time that this charge has been raised. Tom Wicker, in his 1991 book, One of Us, Richard Nixon and the American Dream, cites, but then dismisses, intelligence reports that "high-level Nixon campaign officials" tried to reach South Vietnam's President Nguyen Van Thieu to urge him to oppose a peace initiative that President Johnson was negotiating with the North Vietnamese. To Wicker, it was "hard to believe" that Nixon would undermine an effort to end the war. "Obviously, it would be fatal for the Nixon campaign to be connected with an effort to delay a bombing halt, possibly a peace settlement, for domestic political purposes," Wicker says. In writing his biography, Wicker ignored Seymour Hersh's 1983 book, The Price of Power: Kissinger in the White House. In it, Hersh describes Henry Kissinger as advising the Democrats on Vietnam policy and then secretly reporting what he knew about peace negotiations to the Nixon campaign. This contact, between Kissinger and Nixon, is confirmed in RN, Nixon's memoir. According to Nixon, Kissinger warned him in September 1968 that Johnson would call a bombing halt in late October. Johnson and Democratic presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey had finally come to understand that to win the election they would have to find a way out of the war and, in late October, there was movement in Hanoi and Washington towards starting peace negotiations. Hersh describes Nixon sending Anna Chennault to lobby South Vietnamese President Thieu to urge him to obstruct the effort to start peace negotiations. Chennault was a vice president of the Republican election finance committee and chairwoman of Republican Women for Nixon. As head of Flying Tiger Airlines, a company originally formed, with CIA backing, to assist Chiang Kai-shek in his war against the Chinese Communists, Mrs. Chennault had high-level contacts in the South Vietnamese government.
[CTRL] Rudolph Steiner and the War of all against All
-Caveat Lector- Yes, of course. I see. Conspiracy theory sure is becoming predictable of late. Every time I ask just so many questions, eventually I'm led back to the 4-dimensional satanic entities. I've read Colin Wilson's "The Philosopher's Stone", and "The Mind Parasites". Wilson's a pretty damn good writer. I don't know about the Borgs. But I can believe in the satanic entities as far as it goes. It's in the Book of Revelations about the End Times and all. You wrote: "We all feel this every single day, that forces, somewhere are interviening heavily into our lives...", well I can understand that, but dont' forget the forces that work for the good, like the Bible says. Yeah, I'd sure like to hear more about Steiner and Stegmann. I was an a Steiner email list group, but they weren't really posting anything of much interest to me. Justine Sig Heil! I prefer willing sex slaves myself. But more to the point: Here and again, posted in this list has been references to a rather mysterious personality named Rudolph Steiner (1864-1925); an Austrian philosopher, occultist, educator (the Waldorf Schools), clairvoyant, perhaps the best ever known. I have attempted to study this man's works for over 30 years. In my opionio (sp?) (you know 'onion with a 'p' in front) he is one of the most neglected genusis of the century. One cannot just pick up any book or printed lecture by this guy and streight way make sense of it. His lectures and books were built on primary knowledge basis that had to be understood before one went on with his ideas. In this way he is like Heidigger, and (you know) the phenomanology philosophers whose names escape me and I couldn't spell anyway. But the matter at hand is what he said about the end of the century and matters going into the 21st. The most dire idea was what he called the 'War of all against all." That it could be in full flames (like right now). In the 1970's I spoke at length (over many occassions) with a German priest by the name of Carl Stegmann. Stegmann was in his eighties, his intellect, clear as a bell. He had personally known Rudloph Steiner. During this time Stegmann wrote two books published as manuscript titled: "The Other America" 'The Western World in Light of Spiritual Science'. These are not lite reading and require some familiarity with Steiner's basic ideas. (BTW Steiner was associated with the Theosophy movement and Madame Blavatsky at the turn of the century). I intend to publish some of these thoughts of Stegmann and Steiner to this list (that is, when I can get time to get them together). The reason being that events such as we are witnessing on a daily basis cannot be understood from the so-called normal materialistic intellect. We have to consider spiritual forces playing heavily upon mankind at this time and these will only increase in the future. It is man's destiny to incarnate physically, but we form a unity with intelligences that are non material; called angels of various types, and spirits that are very dark in their nature, highly intelligent, strong willed with an agenda that harks back to myth and the Bible. Due to our earth bound orientation many experiences from 'other realms' become UFO, invasion from Mars or what ever. When, in reality, most of these are really spiritual experiences that we are not familiar. That is all changing. This is not to say UFO's are just a twinkling of our reemerging 3rd eye, some may be very tangible. The jest of the battle now taking place is that new forces are emerging in mankind as a whole. We will eventually reacquire the clairvoyant faculties that were lost when the last islands of Alantis sunk. This will introduce us into an entirely new world and enrich mankind. But they are forces whose nature makes them want to rule us and eventually turn us into themselves. That would mean becoming part of the "Borg" if I may borrow that term from TV. The "Borg" wish to keep us blind and materialistic as possible; to forment troubles between every group of people, to split families, to control our thinking in all possible ways. You see the "Borg" or evil ones cannot change the fact that mankind will evolve these new faculities (to ever greater heights over several thousand years) but they wish to control that new vision and experience and channel it into directions that suit their evolution, not ours. Those souls that take up "Borgness", as it were, will lose their individuality, their will, and in time, be torn out of the cosmic pattern that mankind is destined to obtain. Now, I admit, ideas like this are not necessairly new nor do they lead themselves to 'sound-bite' mentality; nor to rabid bible or Koran 'thumpers' simplistic intreputations. But for me, when I really begain to look at events from the perspective of Steiner and Stegmann, events which has been totally a mystery begin to become somewhat transparent. The manipulation was immediately visible when connecting the dots. We all feel

Her penetrating new book Within the Veil gives us an insider's view of America's newsrooms. We get to hear the discussions and debates between key players, and hear why race rarely fades into the background of the coverage we see. This is a subject dear to my heart, given that I published a statistics-heavy book on race and the media called Don't Believe the Hype, excerpted elsewhere on this site. -- -- Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Within the Veil (New York University Press), by Pamela Newkirk "Leaving, then, the white world, I have stepped within the Veil, raising it that you may view faintly its deeper recesses, -- the meaning of its religion, the passion of its human sorrow, and the struggle of its greater souls." - W.E.B. DuBois, 1903 In 1994, Time correspondent Sylvester Monroe proposed a story on Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan whose appeal he argued was far more complex than the media had portrayed. Monroe noted Farrakhan's popularity among blacks across class and ideological lines, drawn to his passionate brew of rage and pride, and his prescription for economic self-sufficiency, discipline, and family values. But despite the controversy Farrakhan's racial rhetoric often provoked, Monroe noted that none of the national news magazines had ever provided for readers an in-depth profile that pierced the surface of his racially-charged sound-bites. However Monroe, who hoped to infuse the story with his intimate grasp of black America, did not anticipate how difficult it would be to filter so unconventional and controversial a black figure as Farrakhan through the prism of white interest that is the mainstream news media. Nor did he predict the emotional white backlash within Time as word spread that Farrakhan would appear on the cover. "People in the bureaus were demanding to know why we were putting him on the cover," recalled Monroe, who had earned journalistic acclaim for "Brothers," his moving portrait of the black men he had grown up with in a Chicago housing project that had been a Newsweek cover story, and later a book. "They said he doesn't deserve this kind of attention. A researcher came to me and said 'This is shameful.' I later heard she was in tears. My response was 'we're journalists here. What we think of him should have nothing to do with it. We put Adolph Hitler and Khomeni on the cover.' It was the most disingenuous argument for not doing a story that I had ever heard." For many of Monroe's white colleagues, a cover story on Farrakhan was an affront. Since Farrakhan's role in the black community was, to whites, largely inconsequential, they could not fathom raising his stature merely on the basis of the aspect of him they cared about: his virulent racial views. It's one thing to present a one-dimensional sketch to remind people he was anti-Semitic, but quite another to suggest his importance and complexity by dedicating a cover story to him. This argument is similar to one made by critics of the media's intense coverage that same year of The Bell Curve, a book by the late Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray that theorized that blacks were genetically inferior to whites. All three major newsweeklies and The New York Times magazine, seriously entertained the notion of black inferiority by devoting cover stories to a question that their coverage left unanswered. The preposterousness of race -- a loose social construct, which, in our society is determined less by genes than by appearance -- having the ability to determine intelligence was hardly explored. Scientists and anthropologists have long maintained that race is not a biologically valid scientific concept. The American Association of Physical Anthropologists has declared that pure races do not exist, and maybe never had. How the theory in The Bell Curve could be seriously considered in spite of centuries of interracial mixing underscored the

The verdict : was : due to be pronounced in July 2000, but has been postponed until 7 : November : which fits in the pattern of the government sparing no effort in : preventing political opponents from participating in the elections. : During the nineties, new Egyptian legislation has progressively : restricted the exercise of the rights to freedom of expression and : association. These include the Anti-terror Law, the Press Law and the : law on Civil Associations and Institutions. : Journalists have been imprisoned for libelling officials. On 8 April : 2000 : an appeal court upheld the sentences of two years imprisonment of Magdi : Hussein and Salah Badawi, in a libel case brought against journalists of : an opposition party's newspaper, al-Sha'ab (The People), by a government : minister.

[CTRL] The Land of Apartheid - Murder By Israel (fwd)

To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MER EXCLUSIVE: ISRAEL - LAND OF APARTHEID By Professor Tanya Reinhart* "It is not Sharon who is responsible for the present massacre, but Barak, Ben Ami, the Israeli government, and Israel's 'peacenicks' who have been supporting them all the way through... Israel has become the landof apartheid." In today's setting, it is hard to recall that just a few years ago, only some fringe lunatics demanded Israeli control of 'Temple Mount'. Every time they tried to enter the place and pray, Israeli police would be there to block their entrance or drag them out. Even the word 'Temple Mount' was perceived as belonging to the bizarre vocabulary of religious fanatics. Today it is the Israeli government that launches the holy war. Israel's foreign affairs minister - the ex-liberal Shlomo Ben-Ami - declares day and night that "no nation can give up its sacred sites" and the world nodes and accepts. Sharon could not have entered the site without approval of Barak and the government. His visit had been carefully planned, with a thousand soldiers securing it and taking shooting positions on the roofs in advance. It is not Sharon who is responsible for the present massacre, but Barak, Ben Ami, the Israeli government, and Israel's "peacenicks" who have been supporting them all the way through. Israel's claim on 'Temple Mount' is completely new - brought up only since the recent Camp David negotiations. In 1995's Beilin-AbuMaazen plan for the final agreement, which is the basis for the present 'negotiations', it was still stated that the area will be in 'exterritorial Palestinian sovereignty'(1). The more Arafat gives in, the more new demands are brought up by Israel. The Beilin- AbuMazen document, itself, is a shameful document, which leaves all the settlements untouched, and acknowledges Israeli sovereignty over most of the central West Bank. It was agreed that Arafat will renounce, on behalf of the Palestinians, any claim on Jerusalem, and the Palestinian institutions will move to the village Abu-Dis, bordering with Jerusalem. In return, Arafat will be allowed to call Abu-Dis the capital of the Palestinian state. The verbal trick was that Abu-Dis will be named Al-Quds, so it can be presented like the city is divided to the Jewish part 'Jerusalem' and the Palestinian part 'Al Quds'. Arafat has agreed to this long time ago. E.g. in 'Haaretz' 5.5.98 (Akiva Eldar) it is reported that "Yaser Arafat accepts the idea that the capital of the Palestinian state will be Abu-Dis, neighboring Jerusalem, and sees the understandings included in Beilin-AbuMaazen agreement as a realistic option for the final agreement with Israel". "In a meeting with the Middle East section of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York Arafat was asked if it is possible to reach an agreement with Israel also on the question of Jerusalem. Arafat: 'Certainly, it is possible to accept the idea of Abu-Dis, which belonged to Al-Quds also under Jordanian rule" Even that was not good enough for Barak. In the original Beilin- AbuMazen plan, only the land with the Jewish settlements of the central West Bank (labelled "Jerusalem") was to be annexed. So they prepared a rather windy map that includes these settlements but includes no Palestinians. Israel's interest in doing it this way was to avoid the need of giving these Palestinians Israeli citizenship including social rights - health etc, or political rights of voting. Barak 'straightened' the maps. The annexation proposed in Camp David will include also the areas with Palestinian residents. But these residents will not be given Israeli citizenship, since "they will vote for the Palestinian state". This additional little trick then enables annexing the land without giving any rights to the annexed Palestinian residents(2). It appears that the Palestinian negotiators in Camp David have also agreed to this proposal. Or at least we have never heard otherwise. But then Barak came up with the new demand that the Palestinians will also renounce their hold in Al Aksa (Tenmple Mount). Even a collaborator like Arafat cannot accept such demands and survive. No rational account could tie these
[CTRL] NM: Molegate Suspect Praying for Truth to Come Out
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsmax.com./showinsidecover.shtml?a=2000/10/1/94007 NewsMax.com Sunday October 1, 2000; 10:42 AM EDT Molegate Suspect Praying for Truth to Come Out Molegate suspect Yvette Lozano has hired a lawyer and says she's praying for the truth to come out and clear her. Lozano made her comments to ABC's Jackie Judd as the FBI investigation into how a Bush debate-prep tape ended up in the hands of a senior Gore aide zeroed in on the young raven-haired assistant to George W. Bush's media man, Mark McKinnon. In a segment broadcast Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week," Judd asked Lozano, "Would you put your hand on a Bible and say, 'It wasn't me?'" "Absolutely, absolutely" Lozano shot back without a moment's hesitation. "I pray a rosary every night I pray for the truth to come out." Lozano works for Maverick Media, the consulting firm run by McKinnon, who vouched for her innocense to Judd. "I've known Yvette for over ten years now. She's been like a surrogate mother to my children. I know she's loyal to the governor but I also know she's 100 percent loyal to me." In the past, McKinnon has worked for Bush family enemies like former Democratic governors Michael Dukakis and Ann Richards, prompting the FBI to focus on his company. Investigators have confiscated both Lozano's home and office computers. She has offered to take a lie detetctor test to bolster her denials. Bush spokeswoman Karen Hughes also described Lozano as innocent and suggested that the FBI's Molegate probe has been politicized. "I hope that someone in Washington is not somehow playing politics with this investigation by selectively leaking information to the press," Hughes said Saturday. On Friday, United Press International reported that the FBI had begun questioning Gore officials in Washington after focusing exclusively on the Bush camp for more than a week. But the FBI has released almost no information about that side of the investigation. Molegate slipped into high gear a week ago when a source told ABC News that 28-year-old Gore staffer Michael Doyne had boasted that the campaign had a mole in Austin. After signing conflicting affidavits, Doyne was suspended. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] 'Right of first night'
-Caveat Lector- Kelly, to the best of my knowledge, this "first night" custom was a survival from the medieval *jus primae noctis* [apologies if my Latin is bad] or "law of the first night," under which the seigneur of the manor (usually a baron in England) had the right to insist on sleeping with each bride on the first night after her marriage. The assumption has always been that this also entailed deflowering the (presumably) virgin bride, although that was probably not always the case, especially when the seigneur was, shall we say, beyond the "virile years." Beyond the medieval custom, which obtained universally wherever feudalism held sway, I have no idea where it could have originated. The purpose was obviously two-fold: first, to establish the seigneur as alpha male--"top dog in the pack;" and second, to ensure a plentiful supply of bastards to act as reliable officers for the seigneur without the temptations of money and power always present for legitimate heirs.

" Dwight Eisenhower, President of the United States, 1953 Fifty Years Is Enough " Since trade ignores national boundries and the manufacturer insists on having the world as a market, the flag of his nation must follow him, and the doors of the nations which are closed against him must be battered down. Concessions obtained by financiers must be safeguarded by ministers of state, even if the sovereignty of unwilling nations be outraged in the process."

-Caveat Lector- Well Mike I did not write this report and MSNBC has the following report; please note, a poor Moslem age 25 said he fought because he was fighting over religion.well he might be and he domestic jew and arab might be - but this is about oil. Jordan and Saudi Arabia and Arab Leage will not tolerate this slaughter - consider Israelies armed with AKs and Uzzis and missiles and then Palestinians throwing stonessounds like some of the Israelies took some training at Seattle or Waco like the Japanese sniper? MSNBC gives same statisticsme, I will watch and wait.so Ralph Nader is arabic - why does he not speak out and Joe Lieberman is Jewish - where is he now? Do you see Madeline sending in storm troopers as she did in the Balkans? Where did Israelies get all those arms and you wonder why we have an oil shortage? Zionists want the oil...they are not a religion.they would sit back and see evry domestic jew and arab killed to get the oil, and why.why because this is what the bible says will happen So let them fight it out.but that oil nobody will get for the Arabs are not stupid and will blow those fields to hell and back.. Blood is thicker than water and this thing is being pushed.note the masked assassins like at Seattle - snipers, murdered children - wasn't it Putin who said he would make graphic example of those in Chechnya to see what would happen if they opposed him so they let a little 14 year old boys legs be amputatedthe iniquities of the fathers being visited upon the children. Why is it necessary for killers and snipers to wear a mask - answer is obvious - who are these snipers are they KGB? Did Henry Kissinger KGB Agent Code Name Bor send them in. Who the hell do these Israelies think they are walking around with AKs for which we paid, and then turning these guns on kids and civilians armed with stones? Maybe it would be wise to capture one of these masked men and find out for whom they work for it is obviously an attempt to trigger the Holy War between the believers ..then who takes over if there is anything left to take over.slaughter of the innocents all timed to 2001 millenium perhaps? Saba Bid to end bloody Mideast clashes Palestinians throw stones at Israeli soldiers during clashes in the street near the Augusta Victoria Hospital in east Jerusalem on Sunday. NBC's Tom Aspell reports from Israel on the worst violence in four years. (Contains graphic images.) MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTSJERUSALEM, Oct. 1 As Israeli and Palestinian leaders pledged late Sunday to halt the escalating violence, the grim toll from four days of clashes climbed to 29 Palestinian supporters dead, including two 12-year-old boys, and more than 700 wounded. An Israeli officer also died from injuries he suffered during clashes in Nablus, one of the many flashpoints in fighting that threatened to torpedo months of negotiations on a comprehensive peace agreement between the hostile neighbors. Aspell reports on clashes spreading to Arab Israeli towns IN SEPARATE STATEMENTS, Israeli and Palestinian officials said there was agreement for both sides to end the violence. Israeli acting Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami's office said Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar told Ben-Ami that he had received a message from Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat that the fighting would be stopped Sunday evening. Palestinian official Nabil Abu Rdainah told Reuters that the Israelis had offered to stop firing. "We will wait and see if they will continue to respect their commitments tomorrow," Rdainah said. Witnesses in the West Bank and Gaza said their regions appeared to have quieted down. The latest fighting came as Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiators traded harsh accusations instead of new ideas on how to solve their disputes. The clashes were triggered by a visit last week by the leader of Israel's hawkish opposition, Ariel Sharon, to a contested Jerusalem shrine, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. Sharon denied Sunday that he was responsible for the violence. "The riots are part of Arafat's policy of applying pressure on Israel and the Americans when he doesn't get what he wants," Sharon said. In four days of widespread clashes, 29 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire six Friday at the Jerusalem shrine, 14 across the West Bank and Gaza on Saturday and nine in gun battles Sunday. ANTI-TANK MISSILES, GUNSHIPS The scale of the clashes increased dramatically Sunday as Israeli troops fired anti-tank missiles, hurled grenades and shot from helicopter gunships. Several Israeli tanks rumbled toward the Palestinian-run towns of Nablus and Ramallah in a warning gesture but did not cross the lines of jurisdiction.

-Caveat Lector- Poor slob..."SOMEBODY" is really doing a number on him. I still say it sounds like a few implant researchers AND a few RAV techncians at Groom Lake have their way with him...that they somehow have gotten a microphone/transmitting implant into him so that they can hear him when he speaks (and/or those near him), as well as tell him things...things like when and where they will be testing their Area 51 UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehichles) so that he can "summons" them. At any rate, I believe that he believes what he is telling us, as well as that something REAL [and VERY ugly] is indeed happening to the poor schmuck. After all, for those not aware of him and his "summonsings," many ppl (several VERY credible) have seen and video taped him calling QUITE REAL UFOs. The problem is that these UFOs are too far away to see much detail, nor can they get a size estimate on them becuase *coincidentally* ALL of his MANY encounters with these things HAVE ALL OCCURRED SO THAT THEY NEVER GET NEAR ANY FAMILIAR LAND MARKS. The sheer number of encounters that he himself has video taped and archived (let alone all the ppl that taped him doing this SUCCESSFULLY) sort of makes it beyond the realm of coincidence that NEVER EVEN ONE OF THESE THINGS (out of LITERALLY 100s) have slipped up so that they pass in between things of known size. NOT EVEN CLOSE! Seems that they always stay beyond cloud cover so that the view of them is often obscurred by clouds, BUT NEVER has one passed IN FRONT OF A CLOUD (not while being taped at any rate). In other words, to date there is no video he or anyone else has that can demonstrate that these UFOs are any larger than several ft long. To me it is quite obvious that "some body" [with no good intent] is jacking him every way but loose.

They are here in Their spaceships and are talking to me every day and instructing me on the details for revealing Themselves to humanity. Also, they are increasing my confidence in Them by calling me outside, telling me where to look and sending "metallic" UFO probes of different shapes and sizes, while at the same time saying things like: " Don't worry! We are going to show up, in a big way, before the cameras of NBC's affiliate KNAZ TV, Channel 2 in Flagstaff, Arizona." "Don't doubt for one moment because this is going to be awesome! Just trust in Us and let go of all fear and doubt." "Just know that from the moment you call on Us, it will be only seconds before some one shouts while pointing to Us in the sky. They will certainly film Our sightings, day and night, for all their viewers to see." "Once they film the first sighting, they will not want to stop. They will want to film as often as they can, both day and night." "So prepare yourself to summon My servant. Hesitate not to get started. Call up your contacts at TV station KNAZ on the 2nd of October and let them know that you are ready to get started. Don't start before then because you will be out of sync with Our time schedule." "Just know, My servant, that from that moment on, it will be clear to all humanity that they are not alone in the universe, that life other than themselves does, indeed, exist, and that that life is here demonstrating Their presence through you. So, fear not and go forward in truth, power, courage, and boldness." I'm am hearing so many messages like this throughout every day until I can not keep up with them. There are to many of them to keep track of. Dear List, one thing is for sure in my mind, and that is that NBC station: KNAZ TV Channel 2, in Flagstaff Arizona is the first station chosen by These Beings I serve to verify, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that there is life in the univers other than us on earth! This is a great honor for KNAZ and they are preparing to make history! The reason why is because if KNAZ TV 2 allows me to come to their station, bring their cameras outside to their grounds, and film me make my summon, they are going to also film the first of tens of thousands of sightings to appear to different TV stations throughout the earth through me. In this matter will we see if these Beings are loyal to Their servants and keeps Their words to them. Also, we'll see if Prophet Yahweh is who he says he is or not! Sincerely, Prophet Yahweh

-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: "Amelia" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "MICHAEL SPITZER" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 7:28 PM Subject: Re: alleged oil shortage---aint funny From: Puck in Nevada, a simple explanation- Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 3:57 PM Subject: Re: alleged oil shortage---aint funny I gotta put in my 2 cents worth about what I have picked up on this along the way about this alleged oil shortage. First, I once was aquainted with a petroleum geologist. Retired now, and lost track of him long ago, but he had some very interesting observations on oil supply. Keeping in mind that he had worked all over the world for Standard Oil, including Saudi, West Texas and our Gulf Coast, he made the following observations and statements. There is more oil under the US than the entire Persian Gulf. We literally have a glut of oil reserves. During the alleged oil shortage of the mid-70's, he told me that many wells they drilled in West Texas were good producers, but capped and declared as dusters on paper. I can't see where he would have any reason to lie to me. During the 70's, I helped my younger sister do a school term paper on the alleged oil shortage. My statistical basis was the Wall Street Journal's daily published numbers on total imported crude vs. domestic refinery production. It was there for the world to see if they cared to look, but our domestic PROVDA and ISVESTIA chose to ignore this glaring and ugly discrepency. The fact is, barrels of imported crude remainded stable but domestic refinery production dropped to zip. This clearly proves that the alleged "shortage" was a conspiracy by the oil companies to create a false shortage. When gasoline station waiting lines became hours long and the oil companies hiked the price of gasoline from 33 cents a gallon to $1.33 a gallon, which the frustrated public was now happy to pay, viola! we suddenly has gasoline coming out of our ears. To reinforce my belief of the fraud being perpetrated, I once knew the Claude S. Brinnegar family. At the time he was a Union Oil of California EVP, then appointed as Nixon's Secretary of Transportation just before the alleged oil shortage. Beginning to see the connection? Did you know that Mobil Oil bought the controlling interest in Montgomery Ward IN CASH from their windfall price gouging profits? Then in about 1988, I made another astounding discovery via inquiry to my then Nevada congressman, Walter Bearing. NONE of our Alaska oil is used for domestic consumption. Every single drop of it is exported, mainly to Japan. The alleged reason for this is due to the fact that the EPA has declared that the Alaskan oil has too high a sulphur content for domestic use (acetic). We are exporting premium Oklahoma crude, instead of being used for domestic production---and at the same time importing OPEC crude. What the hell is going on here? WHY are we exporting oil when we are allegedly having such an oil shortage. Something smells very rotten here. That little gem should be enough to cause our easterners to want to burn the white house for fuel this coming winter, if they only knew the truth. Gore supported and sponsored the sale of our "archaic" strategic naval oil reserves when, as I write this, many of our naval vessels are dead in the water for want of steaming fuel. Billy Bob and his administration welcomed this latest 'oil shortage' so that dead-beat debtor oil producing nations could repay us with windfall profits. A real cute little fraud. We get to pay off the foreign debts for them by being raped at the gasoline pump. One such debtor nation, Iran, instead of repaying us, is spending the windfall profits to develop ICBMS to point at us. Mexico---several hundred miles away, is sitting on a glut of oil but stated, A. they don't want to offend OPEC and, B. they don't have the ability to move the oil anyhow. Answer: A. SCREW OPEC! B. We have a fleet of corporate and private 18 wheeler tankers that is mind boggling. We could be importing millions of barrels of crude a day, if Slick leaned on the Mexicans and we got those trucks rolling. I can see the sense in preserving our own reserves and buying foreign as long as the market is there, but I can not see exporting our premium Okie crude at the same time the industry is crying oil shortage. Industry greed and dirty politics rule supreme! End rant.

The 345 square mile iceberg, named B-20, was found by satellites operated by the Defense Meteorological Agency. The exact date the berg broke free could not be determined because of cloudiness in the area, but it is thought to have been between Sept. 20 and 26. The 30-by-11.5 mile iceberg is located near latitude 77 degrees, 00 minutes south; longitude 170 degrees, 42 minutes east, in the Ross Sea, south of the Pacific Ocean. The National Ice Center, operated by the Navy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Coast Guard, provides worldwide sea ice reports and forecasts. -- On the Web: National Ice Center: http://www.natice.noaa.gov Copyright 2000 Associated Press.

[CTRL] Konformist: Domenici-Kennedy Bill (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2000 18:36:51 -0700 From: Sheila Goldner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Konformist: Domenici-Kennedy Bill A. Tyner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Friday, September 29, 2000 Domenici-Kennedy Bill You may or may not be aware of the Domenici-Kennedy Bill now before Congress. It is the most dangerous piece of legislation involving civil rights curtailment in many years. It calls for the establishment of FEDERAL mental health courts. Any individual can be placed before on the sayso of a doctor, etc. Like the ones at the state level they will be rubber stamps. There is no such thing as a false positive with mental illness. Domenici's wife (spelling?) was on the board of NAMI, a front company for the drug companies. This bill also calls for the establishment of mental health centers in OUR schools (no choice here). Buried within the bill will be a centralized database of anyone (potentially) who ever sought any sort of mental health treatment. The repercussions include infringements on the right to keep and bear arms. We have seen this already. Gulf War vets with GWI were all given psych diagnoses. As a consequence the health records of close to 90,000 vets were turned over for inclusion in the FBI database. None of these vets, nor anyone living in their homes, has the right to posess a firearm. (By the way I bet the FBI is already going through the MBI database, MediCaid, etc.) There is NO need for legislation like this. Not only will it affect the targeted individual it will affect that individual's family. This has already happened in Canada. Some individuals have ended up in the database by accident or fraud. The government refuses to make corrections. Of course these individuals will probably be forced into a lifetime of drug treatment. We saw a similar legislation in the 1950's at the height of the cold war. It was defeated then, but we have had ten years of the media aggressively falsely associating mental illness with violence.

[CTRL] Boylan: Dimensional Portals and Wen Ho Lee (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2000 12:43:31 -0700 From: "Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D." [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dimensional Portals and Wen Ho Lee The U.S. Government, Dimensional Portals, and Dr. Wen Ho Lee - The Rest of the Story By Richard Boylan, Ph.D. This story may exceed what you are accustomed to consider as reality. But because advanced research and development into extraterrestrial-derived technology has taken place for the last 50 years out of public view, the popular view of reality is almost five decades behind actual scientific achievements. To process this story, it helps if you accept that the government is not totally forthcoming in the news stories it feeds the media. It also helps to realize that the government uses the word "nuclear secrets" as a code phrase for all kinds of secret advanced technology, such as antigravity propulsion and psychotronic remote-influencing devices, and not just for atomic weapons. An ex-NSA consultant who has been reliable in the past informs me that government scientists working at Los Alamos "Nuclear" Laboratory, NM have succeeded in generating a holographic portal. They have used this portal to travel across space-time, and possibly interdimensionally, and have seen into another world. What they saw there, my informant says cryptically, both frightened and intrigued them. He did not add any additional details. This research would be a follow-on to previous secret government successful research into time travel and teleportation, Los Alamos physicist Robert Lazar told about the government's Project Galileo research into time travel, which he was briefed on when he worked at the S-4 Base south of Area 51. My NSA contact confirmed that the government has succeeded in time travel, but also considers it a dangerous technology. Teleportation research conducted at the Lawrence Livermore/Sandia National Laboratories, CA has had some successful results, as well. Certain extraterrestrial races have been using portals of their own devising to visit earth. Now the U.S. government, ever avaricious to copy ET technology, has created a primitive but working model of its own. Dr. Wen Ho Lee, nuclear scientist in the headlines, worked on that holographic portal project, along with other scientists. You will recall that Dr. Lee was accused by the government of copying U.S. "nuclear secrets" onto a non-secure computer tape. In the previously-lax security environment of the professorial Los Alamos Labs, run by the University of California, and accustomed to informal exchange of information among research colleagues, such "lapses of security" have been epidemic. If every LANL scientist who took short-cuts around certain security measures were prosecuted, Los Alamos would be a ghost town. Why, then, was Wen Ho Lee singled out for such severe and unconstitutional nine months of imprisonment without bail and defamation-by-headlines? What does Dr. Lee know about portal secrets, that the government used the severest measures to silence and discredit him? Recently, a plea-bargain was entered into by the U.S. government and Wen Ho Lee, in which 58 felony counts were dropped, and U.S District Court Judge James Parker apologized to Dr. Lee for government misconduct which has "embarassed this entire nation." My ex-NSA consultant indicated that the plea-bargain was achieved because Dr. Lee, like so many who work in National Security areas, created a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card for himself. These scientists uses self-protective measures such as stashing information embarassing to the government in safety- deposit boxes or with trusted friends, with the proviso that if anything should happen to them, the contents would be shared with the press. The efforts of his family and many friends, and the Asaian-American community also helped create a public climate where Dr. Lee was not going to serve quietly as a sacrificial lamb. And now, as Paul Harvey would say, you have the Rest of the Story. Richard Boylan, Ph.D. Post-script: "They" did not want you to have this story. When my ex-NSA informant e-mailed me this information, someone penetrated his state-of-the-art encryption and implanted a virus which caused my server to freeze up on his exact message and not download it, and thus blockade all my other incoming e-mail messages. It took two days of work and technical support help to develop a go-around of the freeze-bug. Now I am a mild-mannered reporter, but when "they" try to prevent the truth from coming out, I just become more determined to have it see the light of day. And here you have it.

[CTRL] Impersonal evil:
-Caveat Lector- Komrade Park: I don't mean to sound uncaring by anything I write. Just that I suppose one has to have a sense of humor these days, or try to, in order just to hold on to that scrape of sanity. I fully understand what you are talking about as to big business, transnationals, the Elites, and so on. But what I don't see is how activists actually expect to effect any change whatsoever. I mean, look at what they are up against! A truly HUGE machine, that has been put in place from over the centuries, down through the ages, up to today. They are ENTRENCHED, and I don't see how they will back down. You speak of stockholders, but these stockholders are the very People themselves (maybe even many on this list), who already have a vested interest in capitalism. I cannot even envision what would take the place of capitalism, should the activists ever really win, except more laws for the "people", more politikal korrektness, more infringement by the government in the people's lives. It seems that for every crumb the "Elites" may toss to the masses, they make sure that crumb is paid for over and over. And then, as long as the Sheeples have a vested interest in things remaining the way they are, how is any real change ever going to take place? Why, the very people conspiracy theorists look to, like scientists, professors, etc., themselves have vested interests that things remain the way they are, i.e. capitalism, and apparently the "democracy" which cradles it. This isn't to say the activists shouldn't try. But how can anyone possibly expect those in positions of Power and Wealth to give up their power and wealth, and by "those" I mean any person right now with a vested interest in capitalism/democracy? Aside from "old money" and those born into it, aren't most politicians today, like in the lower ranks, don't they come from your average Amerikan family who is proud of them, who have theirs, and so is not concerned about anyone else? I see it all around me every day. Isn't all this just really a matter of plain old human nature, that is, to feel superior once one gets "theirs", i.e. their house, their new cars, their bank accounts? I guess I'm a pessimist, a nihilist. But here we are in the year 2000, and all we hear is politicians spouting the same old speeches of how things they will give us Utopia if elected. The same speeches I've heard all my life, really, and nothing has changed, but that my pockets are picked deeper. Activists have to reach the Sheeple somehow right here in Amerika. You know how you can go to Wendys or McDonalds and buy for your kids those idiotic toy figures from movies that Hollywood gets kids hooked on as fads? I'd like to see the Sheeples consciousness raised on this one. And I heard on WBAI, I think, that in Sweden or Switzerland (?) it is against the Law for media to promote things, advertise things, to children, like fads, clothes, toys, etc. This made a lot of sense to me. Children are suspectible and don't know their own minds. Stop the advertising altogether to children, and you have your children's minds back. I'd like to see some action right here in Amerika along these lines, like Amerika's mass consumerism, high taxes, the sickness right here in Amerika. I don't see why I need to be worried about other countries, when Amerika has problems right here. But then again, I can see why the activists travel to other countries to lend a hand. If there is an Impersonal Evil, and I've no doubt there is, it seems to me the only real hope is Armeggedon as it is written in the Book of Revelations. The Last Days. The End Times. But...maybe not. No, I don't think you're picking on me, Komrade. I'm glad you've actually got something to say. Not like the flippant remarks of some that I've read, the ones who obviously have no consciousness about anything. So, if you are serious about entities in the 4th dimension, one answer is truly raising consciousness. I'm halfway ready to go join an Ashram or something. Too bad you're married. I was beginning to fall in love :) Musta been that sex slave remark. Justine SIG HEIL! If you want anything worth while we have to dig for it. What comes easy is on the 6 o'clock news. Dan Rather will tell you all you need to know. Many people have a passing familarity with Plato and Aristotle, yet by questioning them, we come to realize their grasp of Platonics or Aristatilan logic is non-existent. The same goes with many who plunge into Steiner or Blvatsky. One needs deep waders in these waters. I, personally am not a Steinerite and haven't owned a copy of Blvatsky in decades. Yet if we pretend to buy into the childishness of thread bare religions today we come away dissatisfied. In the past, up until the last two centuries, faith was enough. Not so today, we need to understand. Understanding is possible but it also requires perceptiveness of heart. W.T. Stead (sp?) an American philosopher remarked that the heart is just as

If you missed it last week, be sure to read our three-part series on the future of the war in Colombia, The Price of War, as the United States prepares to release the first in $1.3 billion in aid. http://www.stratfor.com/SERVICES/giu2000/092700.asp Would you like to catch up on the latest intelligence we've published? Just click on the Intelligence Index. http://www.stratfor.com/world/defaultindex.htm Coming this week: Our forecast for next quarter of 2000. _ Oil and the Coming Global Economic Slowdown Summary Oil prices have exploded. From a low point in 1999, prices have nearly quadrupled. In the back of most minds lurks a fear: Will this rise in prices trigger a depression? Will it be 1973 all over again? The answer lies in looking at the structural and cyclical parts of the world's economies. They - not oil - were at the heart of the 1970s economic downturn and will determine events in this decade, as well. Analysis Since petroleum is the key industrial mineral, without which nothing works, there has been an economic consequence to the recent rise in prices. The most immediately perceptible consequences, however, have been political. Oil prices, which caused civil disobedience in Europe, are now a centerpiece in the American presidential campaign. Prices raise concerns about Asia's ability to recover from the 1997 crash. Embedded in the concern over oil is a deep, dark fear: Will the rise in prices so disrupt the global economy that it will tumble out of control and into a general depression? Certainly, higher oil prices cause pain. But the real fear is whether these oil prices will be the nail in the coffin in the expanding global economy. In the back of everyone's mind is this question: Are we about to experience 1973 all over again? Promote global intelligence. Forward this newsletter to your colleagues and friends! __ The 1973 Arab oil embargo created a massive price rise and economic dislocation, from Tokyo to Paris to Chicago. The explosion in oil prices ushered in a decade of "stagflation" in which inflation soared while economies stagnated. By the end of the decade, the United States experienced double-digit unemployment, double-digit inflation and double-digit interest rates. For Europe, the situation was worse. Even Japan, in the early stage of its economic explosion, experienced derailment. What few people remember is that the 1973 oil shock did not usher in the stagflation period. It may have accelerated it and intensified it, but the slowdown was in the works for quite a while. President Nixon had imposed price and wage controls before the 1973 crisis. The United States was in enough economic trouble for the president to impose unprecedented controls on the economy. What drove the global economy toward stagflation was a set of deep structural and cyclical problems. The first of these was essentially demographic. The global population explosion following World War II took place as people entered a period of family formation -- a time when consumption is highest and savings is lowest. This wave of people created tremendous pressure on commodity and money markets. Then came an inevitable cyclical event. The massive post-war expansion that began in the early 1950s was about a generation old. By the late 1960s, it was, not surprisingly, out of gas. The time had come for a cyclical downturn. Coupled with the demographic, structural reality, a cyclical shift turned into a massive economic, social and political dislocation. Deep cyclical and structural patterns magnified the effect of the oil price rise in 1973. Without these other factors, the prices would not have had the effect they had. Alternatively, the rise in oil prices would not have been possible. It could not have occurred after the 1967 Middle East War. But it could take place in 1973, because of a general rise in commodity prices; the rise in oil prices was at most an exaggeration of something that was happening anyway. _ Today, the real issue is not oil - not any more than it was in 1973. The real issues are the structural and cyclical forces that underpin the economy. By themselves, oil prices are not definitive. They are merely part of the general operating pattern of global economies. The structural pattern remains in place, with positive and negative consequences. In the case of the former, the same demographic factors that created stagflation in the 1970s are now creating powerful patterns of capital formation, particularly in the United States. Much focus has been on the very narrow measure of savings rates, which

As I see it they are both capitalism. One is private monopoly capitalism. The other is state monopoly capitalism. But a boss is a boss is a boss. In neither case do ordinary people like you and I have real power over everyday life. In both cases the few control the many, and exploit us to their own advantage. The human population included. We're livestock. Nations are just glorified livestock paddocks. Borders are fences that our owners use to keep us separated into managable sized herds. Our rulers themselves care not a fig for nationalism, except as a tool to manipulate us. Capital has no borders. Capitalism, state-monopoly or otherwise, indeed seems to boil down to "control of the natural resources (of the world)" by the few, at the expense of the many. We have all become a mere number in a world of fictions -- just another commodity on the sacred 'market' -- where an elite few control more then the other 90 or so percent of the population combined. All 'governments' and 'corporations', so-called, are the created and manipulated legal fictions of an elite's avarice. They were created for one purpose: CONTROL; and they "have been only such agreements as they (the 'elite') have found it necessary to enter into, in order to maintain their organizations, and act together in plundering and enslaving others, and in securing to each his agreed share of the spoils". As my beloved, and over-quoted Spooner put it in his 19th Century pamphlets on "Natural Law", and "No Treason": [additions mine] "All political [corporate] power, so called, rests practically upon this matter of money [debt/credit]. Any number of scoundrels, having money enough to start with, can establish themselves as a "government" [or "corporation"]; because, with money, they can hire soldiers [police/courts, or wage slaves for corporations], and with soldiers extort more money; and also compel general obedience to their will. It is with government [and corporations], as Caesar said it was in war, that money and soldiers mutually supported each other" "But all this they can do only by establishing what they call a government, and making what they call laws." "All the great governments [corporations, secret societies, etc] of the world -- those now existing, as well as those that have passed away -- have been of this character. They have been mere bands of impostors, who have associated for purposes of plunder, conquest, and the enslavement [wage slavery for corporations] of their fellow men. And their laws [USC for 'gubbnmint' and UCC for 'corpus-rations'], as they have called them, have been only such agreements as they have found it necessary to enter into, in order to maintain their organizations, and act together in plundering and enslaving others, and in securing to each his agreed share of the spoils. "All these laws [USC/UCC/treaties/CONstitutions/"sacred oaths" of secret societies, etc.] have had no more real obligation than have the agreements which brigands, bandits, and pirates find it necessary to enter into with each other, for the more successful accomplishment of their crimes, and the more peaceable division of their spoils. "Thus substantially all the legislation [USC/UCC/treaties/ CONstitutions/corporate charters] of the world has had its origin in the desires of one class of persons to plunder and enslave others." "In process of time, the robber, or slaveholding, class [the 'elite', 'establishment', etc.] -- who had seized all the lands, and held all the means of creating wealth [commerce] -- began to discover that the easiest mode of managing their slaves, and making them profitable, was not for each slaveholder to hold his specified number of slaves, as he had done before, and as he would hold so many cattle, but to give them so much liberty as would throw upon themselves (the slaves) the responsibility of their own subsistence, and yet compel them to sell their labor to the land-holding class -- their former owners -- for just what the latter might choose to give them. "Of course, these liberated slaves, as some have erroneously called them, having no lands, or other property, and no means of obtaining an independent subsistence, had no alternative -- to save themselves from starvation -- but to sell their labor to the landholders [corporations], in exchange only for the coarsest necessaries of life; not always for so much even as that ['minimum wage' for some, much more for others, usually depending on who one knows, or what 'degrees' one holds from either a college or masonic lodge, or both, or whatnot]. "These liberated slaves [wage slaves], as they were

-Caveat Lector- WASHINGTON (AP) - Want to track your Social Security benefits? Need to apply for a federal student loan? Having trouble surfing the Internet to find the nearest veterans hospital? Want to reserve a campsite at a national park? Beginning Friday, Americans can do all these things by logging on to a single U.S. government Web site: http://firstgov.gov President Clinton will explain how the site works in an Internet address Friday afternoon The one-stop Internet site consolidates 20,000 government Web sites - some 27 million web pages - into one. The new site allows Internet users to search for government information by topic, rather than by agency. It also is designed to reduce the time Americans now spend traveling to government offices and waiting in line. The site was developed, at no cost to taxpayers, by a team led by Internet entrepreneur Eric Brewer. He's chief scientist at Inktomi Corp., a software developer and marketer in Foster City, Calif. The government will pay $165,000 a month to maintain the site, which can search a half a billion documents in less than one-quarter of a second and handle millions of searches a day. The White House Web site ranked near the bottom among federal Internet destinations, Brown University researchers said. = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.
