Oh, I dunno ... I think it'd be a good time (what with a semi-secret

Taiwan with ground troops, justifying this action in the same manner as the
Serbs lay claim to Kosovo and NATO lays claim to whatever it wants despite

I'm watching the E. Asian beat and posting anything noteworthy here, so I
hope you didn't miss the news that Japan has more or less agreed to turn a
blind eye to Chinese
actions vis-a-vis Taiwan -- yet the US is counting on Japan as being the
"enforcer" of US interests in Asia.  Japan has its own interests which are
served by detente with China
in a manner somewhat different from US detente with China.  The US is
employing its customary approach to possibly-nuclear N. Korea -- a big club
in one hand and a bagful of money in the other -- but that bargaining stance
falls apart if China extends the same giving hand with the other hand
supportive, not threatening.  IMHO, it's a highly volatile
chessgame right now, and what the Balkans are for the Eastern Bloc (Serbs,
Russia et al) Korea is for the West -- the place most likely to be where the

[CTRL] Yeltsin Faces Impeachment THIS WEEK

1999-05-12 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

Yeltsin Fires Prime Minister

By BARRY RENFREW
.c The Associated Press

MOSCOW (AP) -- President Boris Yeltsin fired Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov
today and replaced him with a longtime ally, plunging Russia into a major
political crisis.

Primakov's dismissal was a virtual declaration of war between Yeltsin and his
opponents in the Communist-dominated Duma, the lower house of Parliament
where Primakov has strong support. Opposition and government politicians
warned that Yeltsin now faced a major fight for his own political survival.

Although the Kremlin said Primakov was dismissed because of his failure to
rescue Russia's foundering economy, the real reason appeared linked to
Thursday's start of impeachment hearings against Yeltsin.

``Today I made a difficult decision,'' Yeltsin said in a statement announcing
the dismissal.

Primakov had done a good job restoring stability, but had failed to turn
around the economy, Yeltsin said. Russia must press ahead with free-market
reforms, he added, hinting that Primakov had not really backed this strategy.

``We have no right to put off making decisions that are necessary for the
revival of the economy for another six months ... Delays and procrastination,
I am sure, are the most serious blow today to stability in the economy and
the social sphere,'' Yeltsin's statement said.

Sergei Stepashin, the interior minister and a deputy prime minister, was
nominated to replace Primakov and was named acting prime minister, the
Kremlin said. Stepashin is a longtime Yeltsin loyalist who heads the
country's police forces.

Stepashin's nomination was sent to the Duma for approval, but it appeared
very unlikely to pass.

Yeltsin had long been unhappy about Primakov's success as premier and his
broad political and popular support. The president has a history of
dismissing subordinates who even appear to overshadow him.

At the same time, Yeltsin has become extremely unpopular, both with
parliament and among Russians as a whole.

Political leaders warned that Primakov's dismissal would almost certainly
guarantee that the Duma will vote this week to impeach the president.

To remove Yeltsin from office, however, the impeachment motion must also be
approved by two-thirds majorities of the upper chamber of parliament and the
supreme and the constitutional courts -- which was considered unlikely before
Primakov's sudden dismissal.

``I think the president made a gross error. Maybe it is his most serious
mistake recently,'' said Duma Speaker Gennady Seleznyov.

Vladimir Ryzhkov, head of the pro-government Our Home is Russia party, said
Yeltsin had made a major blunder. ``Primakov had brought political stability
to the country. This is a serious mistake by the president. He should have
thought well before taking the step.''

Yeltsin faces five impeachment charges, including instigating the 1991 Soviet
collapse, improperly using force against hard-line lawmakers in 1993,
launching the botched 1994-96 war in Chechnya, ruining the nation's military
and waging genocide against the Russian people by pursuing economic policies
that impoverished the country.

Yeltsin met with Primakov for about 20 minutes today at the Kremlin but no
details about their talks were released. Primakov was named in September when
Yeltsin dismissed Sergei Kiriyenko after the Russian economy was hit by the
global crisis in emerging markets.

Primakov has been given broad credit for stabilizing the political situation
and halting some of Russia's economic decline, although he failed to come up
with an economic rescue policy. He was also criticized for opposing liberal
market reforms, saying the state should play as big a role in running the
economy.

Yeltsin can make three nominations for premier. If they are all rejected by
the Duma, the president must then call new elections within three months.
Yeltsin would govern by decree with a temporary prime minister during that
period.

The lawmakers are unlikely to accept any Yeltsin nominee for premier and
could refuse to disband if Yeltsin attempts to dissolve the Duma.

In 1993, Yeltsin sent tanks and troops against the Duma after it refused his
order to disband and opposition supporters rioted in Moscow.

[CTRL] N. Korea Says US is Provoking It

 -Caveat Lector-

US, S.Korea Accused of Provocations

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea accused U.S. and South Korean forces
on Wednesday of staging military provocations inside the tense demilitarized
zone separating the two Koreas.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency said U.S. and South Korean
soldiers clandestinely deployed ``combat equipment'' at a guard post inside
the border village of Panmunjom on Monday.

More armed soldiers and military vehicles were spotted on a hill inside the
village and about 10 illuminating flares were fired in ``deliberate and
premeditated provocation,'' the KCNA said.

In a separate border incident Monday, South Korean guards disturbed North
Korean soldiers by pointing flashlights at a North Korean guard post, KCNA
said.

The U.S. military command called the North Korean charges ``an absolutely
false report.''

``It appears to be an attempt on the part of the North Koreans to raise
tension,'' said spokeswoman Lee Ferguson.

The North's communist government often accuses the South and United States of
provoking military confrontations along the border and planning a northward
invasion.

Panmunjom is the sole crossing point between the two Koreas, which share the
most heavily militarized border in the world. The two nations are still
technically in a state of war because their 1950-53 war ended without a peace
treaty.

A contingent of U.S. and South Korean soldiers guard the southern half of the
village under the U.N. flag. Soldiers inside the village are banned from
carrying weapons heavier than side arms.

[CTRL] Serb Troops Invade Albania

 -Caveat Lector-

Deep Serb Incursion Into Albania

By GREG MYRE
.c The Associated Press

BAJRAM CURRI, Albania (AP) -- Yugoslav troops fighting ethnic Albanian rebels
swept over the border into Albania in one of their deepest incursions yet
from Kosovo, international observers reported today.

Witnesses also say a crashed Yugoslav MiG fighter, which was reportedly
downed Tuesday at the height of the fighting, is on the Albanian side of the
border near the village of Padesh, a spokesman for the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe said.

The area is too dangerous to approach the plane, and there was no word on the
fate of its crew.

Fighting between Yugoslav forces and the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army raged
all Tuesday well into nightfall. The sound of shells exploding on both sides
of the border were heard in the northern town of Bajram Curri, and heavy
plumes of smoke billowed into the air.

Twenty Serb troops occupied the Albanian border village of Perroi I Thanes,
OSCE spokesman Pier Gonggrijp said, quoting witnesses.

Later Tuesday, 50 Yugoslav army troops clashed with KLA forces in another
border village, Kasaj, said Gonggrijp.

The volatile area is near a cross-border corridor through which the KLA has
been sending troops and ammunition to reinforce their fighters in Kosovo,
part of Yugoslavia's Serbia province.

Some 40,000 Serb troops and special police are deployed in Kosovo, from where
more than 750,000 ethnic Albanians have fled.

Thirty wounded KLA fighters were hospitalized in Bajram Curri on Tuesday, and
KLA sources said three others were killed in the fighting,

``This is the deepest penetration (by Serb forces) and the longest we have
seen,'' said Gonggrijp, who has been in Bajram Curri since December.

Shelling and cross-border incursions are routine in the area, but the
fighting on Tuesday was exceptional.

There was no word on Serb casualties or whether all the troops have
withdrawn.

According to local KLA commanders and police, the Serb MiG fighter bombed
Padesh on Tuesday morning. As the plane approached, KLA fighters initially
thought it was a NATO plane, didn't take cover and were bombed.

The KLA and local police told Gonggrijp the Serb MiG was shot down by a NATO
plane.

There was no immediate comment from NATO headquarters in Brussels.

U.S. Films Casualties in China

By JOE McDONALD
.c The Associated Press

SHANGHAI, China (AP) -- Private Ryan is out, and heroic Chinese fighting
Americans in Korea are in.

``Saving Private Ryan'' and other U.S.-made films have been removed from
Chinese cinemas, casualties of anger at NATO bombing of China's embassy in
Yugoslavia.

They have been replaced with Yugoslav films or documentaries about the
1950-53 Korean War, in which Chinese troops fought for North Korea against
U.S.-led United Nations forces.

``During the widespread student protests, the company thought it was not the
proper time to show any U.S.-made movies,'' said a manager at Guangdong
Province Film Distribution Co. who would not give her name.

Other casualties were the Will Smith thriller ``Enemy of the State,'' whose
opening in Guangzhou last weekend was canceled, and the Disney cartoon
``Mulan,'' taken off some Beijing screens.

State-owned film distributors in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou said they
decided on their own Saturday to cancel U.S. films.

The China Film Distribution and Broadcasting Association later issued a
letter urging other distributors to do the same, said Ma Shijun, an official
of the association.

Some theaters in Beijing replaced American movies with Yugoslav-made movies,
Ma said.

Beyond its symbolism, a ban on U.S. films has only a limited impact. Despite
the popularity of ``Titanic'' and other films, China lets in only about 10
foreign titles a year to protect its own industry.

In Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong, ``Saving Private Ryan'' was replaced with
two Korean War documentaries -- ``Attack Invaders'' from the 1950s and 1997's
``Trial of Strength.''

The choice reflects the parallels seen by China's leaders between Yugoslavia
and events a generation ago in Korea: a fellow socialist underdog resisting
unjustified American-led aggression.

Many of today's senior Chinese military men were in uniform during the Korean
War, which left a deep mark on the psyche of the influential People's
Liberation Army. Many generals still regard the United States with distrust.

The trend toward more patriotic fare extends to television.

On Saturday, as protesters stoned the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, state TV
showed ``Hero Sons and Women,'' a black-and-white Korean War movie from the
1950s.

Shanghai television this week showed ``The Bridge,'' a Yugoslav film about
Josip Tito's resistance forces in World War II fighting the Nazis.

It wasn't clear when American films would return to Chinese screens.

``We will resume showing U.S. films as soon as the Chinese people are
satisfied with the explanation and apology of NATO and the United States,''
said the Guangdong manager.

[CTRL] Hague Anti-War Conference

1999-05-12 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

Peace Advocates Gather in The Hague

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) -- Peace advocates are gathering this week to
promote a 21st century without war, launching campaigns against nuclear
weapons, child soldiers and small arms.

Some 5,000 participants -- including Nobel laureates, religious leaders, and
the U.N. secretary-general -- will meet in the Netherlands for a four-day
conference beginning today to discuss how to create ``a culture of peace'' in
the new millennium.

The conference is launching several political campaigns including efforts to
stop the use of child soldiers, nuclear weapons and small arms. Two other new
programs will promote education about peace and raise support for the
permanent international criminal court.

The Washington-based Worldwatch Institute also hopes the conference will
produce a peace proposal for the Balkans. Special sessions on the crisis in
the Yugoslav province of Kosovo have been added to the schedule.

The Hague Appeal for Peace Conference commemorates the 100th anniversary of
the First International Peace Conference, an 1899 meeting that sought to
avert violence in the 20th Century.

The 1899 meeting was called by Russian Czar Nicholas II, who feared German
aggression and hoped to avert danger.

Worldwatch estimates that by 1995, 110 million people had died in war.

``There are no guarantees for a different outcome, but there is more
political space and open discussion about what can be done,'' said Michael
Renner, a senior researcher at Worldwatch. ``Just the experience of the 20th
century can be seen as a warning. We have to pay closer attention to the root
causes of conflict.''

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Queen Noor of Jordan, Archbishop Desmond
Tutu of South Africa, Jose Ramos-Horta of East Timor and John Hume of
Northern Ireland are among those planning to attend.

One Nobel laureate who will not attend is Myanmar's pro-democracy leader,
Aung San Suu Kyi.

In a tape due to be played at the conference, Suu Kyi said that a life
without peace was not worth living. Life in military-ruled Myanmar, also
known as Burma, is like a ``battlefield'' where human rights are constantly
abused, she said.

``When we talk of peace we cannot avoid talking about human rights,
especially in a country like Burma where the people are troubled constantly
by the lack of justice, by the lack of peace,'' she said.

Myanmar has been run by the military for decades. In 1990, the junta refused
to recognize elections that gave Suu Kyi's party a landslide victory.

Bubonic Plague Confirmed in Namibia
Monday, May 10, 1999; 12:14 p.m. EDT

WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) -- Local medical authorities confirmed Monday an
outbreak of bubonic plague in Namibia's populous north-central region that
has killed three of the 73 people with the disease.

Dr. Naftali Hamata of the Namibian health ministry said tests done at the
South African Institute for Medical Research last week showed that six of 11
samples sent for analysis proved positive for bubonic plague. He said the
other five cases may also still prove positive, but more testing must be
done.

``Even though not all of them are confirmed to have the disease, we are
taking no chances and testing everyone,'' he said.

Bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, killed an estimated 25
million
people in Europe between 1346 and 1351, wiping out nearly one-third of the
population. The disease is transmitted by fleas infecting rats which in turn
infect humans. If left untreated, it can kill within three to five days.

[CTRL] Fwd: Gold Conspiracy? # 2

1999-05-12 Thread Kris Millegan





TUESDAY / MAY 11, 1999

Trouble in the gold market?
Analysts see move to manipulate prices
By Jon E. Dougherty
© 1999 WorldNetDaily.com

Whether influenced by uncertainties stemming from Y2K or because global
financial markets took a dramatic turn for the worst, most gold analysts
agree that 1998 was a "record year" for sales.  So far, in 1999, record
buying has not subsided, according to the U.S. Treasury, and most gold
brokers and retailers say there is no sign of a buying slowdown anytime soon
from the private sector.

However, recent investor activity in the gold market suggests there may be a
move to illegally influence prices.  In fact, entire nations, such as Great
Britain, are poised to release hundreds of tons of gold into the market over
the next few years in a move some believe is an attempt to artificially
deflate gold prices and possibly to de-emphasize gold as a valuable
commodity.

Beginning July 6, the Bank of England will begin selling over half of
Britain's present gold stocks, or 415 tons, which is currently worth about
$6.5 billion (U.S.). Last week, when the bank made the announcement, it
stunned gold dealers and traders all over the world, resulting in the price
of gold falling to below $280 an ounce -- its
lowest price in recent years.

It was this announced sell-off, as well as several previous disturbing gold
market reports, that prompted the formation of GATA -- the Gold Antitrust
Action Committee
-- and a potential antitrust lawsuit aimed at breaking up the alleged control
over gold market prices.  GATA has retained noted antitrust and securities
law firm specialist, Berger  Montague of Philadelphia, in order to assist in
its investigation into the alleged manipulation of the gold market.

Bill Murphy, chairman of GATA, told WorldNetDaily, "I've been a trader for 25
years, and I began noticing that the gold market was just not trading the way
it was supposed to."  He said that when gold reached the $295-300 per ounce
range, "I began noticing that the market price for gold would always stop (at
a certain level), lose, then come right back" to the previous level -- but
never higher. That didn't follow the established rules of supply and demand,
he explained.

"At about that time, we heard that (gold) producers were going around
offering credit terms in South Africa to foreign producers in different
countries at unheard-of credit terms, if they would just 'sell forward'" --
or put supply in the marketplace. He said GATA also received a number of
reports that "officialdom" in the U.S. were asking officials in Asia not to
aggressively buy gold. These two incidents were occurring
simultaneously, Murphy said.

The only explanation that makes sense, he said, was that somebody is trying
to keep gold prices down. Other government and market analysts who were
following the same gold trends, said Murphy, "were told to 'tone down' their
reports," in an effort, he says, to conceal other investment activity based
on lower gold prices.

Murphy said he initially brought his concerns to other experts -- some of
whom eventually became GATA members -- and they agreed it was possible that
antitrust violations may have materialized within the gold market.

The GATA chairman said the essence of the issue rests with the number of
"gold loans" currently out versus the annual output of gold from the world's
combined producers.

"Right now, we feel the total gold loans amount to about 8,000 to 10,000
tons.  But mine supply, or annual production, is only about 2,529 tons.
Consequently, we think the speculators -- the gold-borrowing crowd -- are
borrowing gold at just one percent interest rates versus the 8 to 10 percent
they'd have to take to borrow money at a bank."

He sees "collusion" among producers and speculators to keep the price of gold
artificially depressed in order to obtain cheap loans on money used for other
investments.

"Basically, they're getting interest-free money to invest in Wall Street for
free," he explained. "So hedge funds like Long Term Capital Management, who
got in trouble last year for doing this same thing with the Japanese Yen, and
all of these investment people in New York are borrowing gold and investing
it.  That's fine, as long as the gold price doesn't go up."

Murphy said the advantages to doing this were obvious.

"Say these people borrow gold at $290 an ounce but end up having to pay it
back at, say, $320 an ounce, the cheap loan suddenly becomes an expensive
loan."

He told WorldNetDaily that recently the price of gold was set to go above
$290 an ounce, "which we feel has been the borrowing price for about the past
year or so."  But when he publicly questioned where the supply of gold was
going to come from, within a day the Bank of England announced they were
going to sell over half of their gold inventory.

"That came out of nowhere," Murphy said. "Why would the Bank of England do
that --

X DRUDGE REPORT EXCLUSIVE X TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1999 22:59:49 UTC X


WILLEY SUSPECTS STATE DEPT DEPUTY'S BROTHER-IN-LAW PART OF INTIMIDATION
CAMPAIGN

**Exclusive Details**

Earlier this year, ABC NEWS hotshot reporter Jackie Judd showed presidential
accuser Kathleen Willey a picture of a man.

Judd was developing a story about an incident she was first to reveal about
the morning Willey was spooked by a stranger -- a stranger that knew too
many details about her private life.  A stranger that approached her just
two days before she was to tell a grand jury about what Bill Clinton did to
her in the White House.

"Is this the man who approached you that morning?" Judd asked Willey.

The DRUDGE REPORT can now reveal that Willey was shown a picture of Cody
Shearer --  the brother-in-law of Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott
and long-time friend of President Bill Clinton!

Judd has not filed a report on what Willey told her that day, but Willey did
open up to CNBC's Chris Matthews in an interview that aired on Tuesday night.

Willey unloaded details of her run-in with a man:

"I was walking with my three dogs, and I saw this man coming toward me... He
called me by name, 'Kathleen, did you ever find your cat?' he asked.  'No, I
have not, and we really miss him,' I told him.  'Did you ever get those
tires fixed on your car?' he asked.  The hair on my neck started to stand on
end... He asked me about my children by name."

Willey told Matthews that she can ID the man as being one of the president's
associates.

The twin brother of Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott's wife, Brooke
Shearer, has been at the center of controversy since Bill Clinton has been
president -- but he has remained mostly out of the headlines.

Cody Shearer, a self-styled "conflict mediator", is alleged to have had cozy
relations with Investigative Group International, using their office
databases and hob-nobbing with operatives, according to reports in VANITY
FAIR and the NEW YORK POST last summer.

In 1992, Shearer is reported to have encouraged Terry Lenzner, head of IGI,
to investigate an alleged affair between then-President George Bush and the
State Department's Jennifer Fitzgerald, and allegations of marijuana use by
Dan Quayle.  After he was approached by Cody Shearer, long time Clinton ally
Terry Lenzner offered to help an Oklahoma Indian tribe, rejected for a
gambling license, investigate the private life of Rep. Don Nickles [R-OK]
and his family.

Shearer's primary White House chum is Sidney Blumenthal, according to reports.

During a press conference earlier this year, HUSTLER magazine owner Larry
Flynt told the DRUDGE REPORT that he considered Shearer a "very good friend."

[Flynt had confided in friends that Talbott and Shearer were helping sift
through information during his investigation into the private lives of
congressmen and other elected officials.  A claim strongly denied.]

Most recently, Shearer was accused of engaging in secret peace negotiations
with representatives of Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, an indicted
war crimes suspect.

Cody Shearer could not be reached for comment.

Willey is set to appear on CNN's LARRY KING LIVE later this week.

Today's Lesson From Big Dragon

by Daniel Burstein and Arne De Keijzer


It is a hot, humid August night in Beijing in 1995... We have invited
the editors of a new Chinese magazine called Strategy and Management to
dinner... Over drinks, we peruse the contents. It becomes clear that
this is a magazine with a very distinct edge. The first photograph
accompanying the first article is one of Vietnam War vintage: the famous
image, rarely seen these days, of Phan Thi Kim Phuc, a nine-year-old
girl running naked from a village after an American napalm bomb attack.
This picture, worth much more than the proverbial thousand words in
identifying the magazine's editorial stance, is accompanied by other
oddities, the most incomprehensible of which is a twenty-three-page
article by Lyndon LaRouche, the American political extremist (once of
the "Left," now of the "Right"), who argues that China's present course
of economic reform--and foreign investment in particular--will destroy
 the country. This we find truly surprising.

Over dinner, we ask: "...Give us an example of one of the trends about
the future you have identified."

The reply was instantaneous and sure: "That the United States will
become the enemy of China."

Money Laundering

Chinese Cash Funneled Through Small California Bank

by Tim Golden and Jeff Gerth

Late in the spring of 1996, federal bank examiners discovered that the
central bank of China was moving tens of millions of dollars into the
United States, depositing it in a maze of accounts controlled by a
fast-rising Chinese executive at a small California bank.
The regulators struggled for almost two years to understand the
transactions, guessing finally that they might have been intended to
hide the private fortunes of Chinese officials. They turned their
findings over to the Justice Department, the State Department and the
FBI, but officials said no legal or diplomatic action was ever taken in
the case.

But only in recent months, prodded by Congressional investigators, have
U.S. officials started fitting together some of the most significant
pieces of the story.

The banker in California, Nan Nan Xu, turned out to have a series of
ties to a Chinese military officer who has been identified as the
conduit for at least $300,000 sent from the military's intelligence
chief to a Democratic fund-raiser, officials said.

And almost half of the $92 million that eventually flowed from China
into the California bank, Far East National, came from a Hong Kong
investment firm controlled in part by two men who American officials say
have been associated with Chinese intelligence agencies.

The purpose of the money remains a mystery. Some federal officials now
suspect that it might have been intended to pay for Chinese intelligence
operations. Others believe that it could have been amassed for political
contributions or to purchase sensitive military technology. And
officials do not rule out that it could be related to legitimate
business dealings.

But a close look at the case, based on interviews and confidential
Government documents, shows that the Clinton administration was slow to
pursue or even pull together the disparate leads uncovered over several
years by different agencies.

The discovery of the Chinese money flow was the sort of information that
typically sets off alarms among government investigators and the bank
examiners alerted Justice Department officials early on. But officials
said the department initially gave the matter only a cursory review,
even as it was separately searching elsewhere for evidence of Chinese
contributions to American political campaigns.

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles examined the case last year, but then
referred it back to the Justice Department in July, asking that its
international-affairs section determine whether the transactions might
involve criminal activity in China. A law enforcement official said the
case was investigated further, but declined to say how.

A spokesman for the Justice Department, Myron Marlin, would not comment
on the inquiry but he said the department was "vigorously pursuing every
credible allegation that has come our way."

The State Department also agreed last year to consider raising the issue
with officials in Beijing, but then decided against it, officials said.
The FBI -- which had helped Ms. Xu, a Chinese national, to gain legal
residency in the United States in 1992 and then tried unsuccessfully to
recruit her as an informer -- paid relatively little attention to her in
the years when her banking activities became suspect, several officials
said.

"She just fell off the screen," one federal investigator familiar with
the case said.

Critics of the administration contend that the handling of the inquiry

From Michael Howard's "The Occult Conspiracy" I quote:

"In occultism the truncated pyramid represents the loss of the Ancient Wisdom
which occurred when the Christian Church achieved political power and began to
repress the old pagan religions which were driven underground into secret
societies.  In Ancient Egypt, when the pyramids were used as initiation
chambers, each pyramid had a special capstone make either from natural crystal
or an alloy of precious metal.  This capstone attracted cosmic rays and occult
forces which created the right conditions for the initiate inside the
pyramid's
inner chamber to experience spiritual illumination.  Symbolically on the Great
Seal the eye in the triangle represents the missing capstone which now only
exists on a metaphysical level."

According to reports George Bush, Sr. among other world leaders will be at the
Great Pyramid in Egypt on Dec. 31 for a special millenium ceremony, at which a
GOLDEN CAPSTONE will be placed upon the pyramid.  Would anyone hazard a guess
as to whom the initiate/ initiates might be who will be within the capstone to
harvest the occult forces gathered therein?  Looks like somebody is walking
out
of that pyramid with the vision and power to lead the masses straight to hell.

Re: [CTRL] Bubonic Plague Confirmed in Namibia

1999-05-12 Thread Colleen Jones

 -Caveat Lector-

Bubonic Plague - back in 1968 I remember reading about a King of England
who brought back gunpowder to England, etc., and it was destroyed.
This Black Death hit at the same time, and I remember thinking wonder
where they dumped all that gun powder, in the water?

I know what they say Bubonic Plague is; but after this Black Death,
suddenly the historian wrote that it was as if God
responded.suddenly, multiple births.

When I looked up the ingredients in gun powder, at the time it seemed to
be used in other substancesand today, look at the multiple births,
from taking certain pills.

Thalimonide (misspelled), caused deformities; well, we have cattle now
being born without limbs, three eyes, etc.

Bubonic Plague or the Black Death.suddenly, hits 1/3 of the
worldthe star hitting the water in the Revelations, was
wormwoodit poisoned the water.could our English Kings have
poisoned the people for birth control purposes.another as Jeanne
Dixon would have said needed "cleansing period" where the "filth and
garbage" are removed.

Well, if this be the case; lets start in Hollywood and the TV news
media..no wonder David Koresch was trying to tell us something, and
got killed doing it - along with at least a third of his followers, or
more.

We hold these truths to be self evident; that our constitution does not
call for Genocide, but the Kings version of the King James Bible,
does.so much for the National Council of Churches.

Anyone out there - my experts - who can tell me why during the Black
Death, all those people had multiple births after the plague hit?  Was
this God's revenge upon the assassins.

Or does anyone remember when Prince Phillip of Greece, who married
Elizabeth the Queen (you will find Philip and Elizabeth mentioned in
Daniel and the Bible, of course) - does anyone remember when Prince
Philip said people "get like rats" when they are crowded?   I domany
years ago, and what do you do to ratsyou find a Pied Piper, to lead
them to their deaths with music, and as an added feature - well they
call that paying the Piper, do they not.

When the Black Death hit, it was said that more people died from the
fear of it.

However, one thing I still remember, a man living in Lancaster, Ohio,
who had ordered Bubonic Plague germs from  lab, and without question,
same was forwarded.   Was this done to instill fear into the public's
mind; or to put them on Guard.

Remember one thing in particularand this is most important.the
CIA, NATO representative, Pentagon, they all answer to the President of
the United States

"Neither will they repent of their murders or sorceries"..I had this
quote picked out for the Manson family, before they found themas the
Manson family, in particular Charles Jesus Manson, who shot the Judge
secret Masonic signals during his trial.used a bible code..even
Charles Manson knew what his government had waiting for them...and that
is why his followers, remember one had a father at the Pentagon and
another at NASA.took revengerather like Littleton in a
sense.the experimenters and experimentees.

Render unto Ceasar that which is Caesars.or pay your taxes, and be
sure your government uses it for services to the public

Render unto God that which is Godswell, !0% was Billy Graham's
request  so you see some of these people have not taken the poverty
oath.

Now the Bubonic Plague is mild compared to what Bill Clinton and the
NATO bunch has in mind, along with Butcher Albrightbut remember
this, where did the fleas, get the plague?   Or like mosquitoes, do they
just carry another form of AIDSbut then, where did the mosquitoes
get the virus.

What is going on today is mass murder, and the only reason the nazi
element in our society gets away with it, is people are now being fed
garbage usually fed to the swineand letting the government under the
bill of rights, protect the sinister forces killing the kids.

We pay our government to provide services, and our President sets the
policiesno where in the Constitution does it give him the right to
murder innocent people in the name of genocide in biblical proportion;
that is not what this hired hand, is there fore.

But remember too, evidently this is what the Rhodes Scholars and Oxford,
is all bout.Prince Philips rats, and how to get rid of them.   Think
I am wrongcheck the bible, the family tree of the Kings and Queens,
which must have been written by a tabloid expert of the day, who set not
a profile in courage, but a profile in murder of the Kings and Queens
and exposes them all

As Mordecai so wished upon Hammon, so let it come upon Mordecai.

Now what role in the bible do you think Bill Clinton is playing?  And
what will his ultimate end be, and name in history if not completely
blotted out, reveal.

The Hidden History of the War Against Yugoslavia


Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit

source: William F Hagel [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Friends,

  I hope we will still be friends after this very long e-mail.
If it were not for the devastating US/NATO attack on Yugoslavia and human
suffering on both sides, I would not be moved to share these two articles
with my list of friends.
  I wrote the first article out of a sense of outrage at the
massive manipulation of our natural and healthy compassion for the
suffering of innocent civilians by a government
that has and still is inflicting suffering on innocent populations for
political/ideological ends.  My purpose is to demonstrate that whatever
the motives for this heartless bombing, humanitarian concern is not one
of them.
  The second article by Dave Stratman picks up where mine leaves
off by offering information relating to two other official reasons for
this military intervention, the lack of any other alternative in dealing
with Milosevic and the preservation of stability in the region.  If
Stratman's information is accurate the questions are why didn't the US
throw its considerable weight behind the democratic opposition for a
popular overthrow of Milosevic and is a stability gained by military
intervention prefered over one gained by a victory of democratic forces?

April 24, 1999

HUMANITARIAN?

  The United States government and its NATO junior partners claim
they were forced to bomb Yugoslavia out of humanitarian concern for the
victims of Milosevic's dictatorship. Because this is the main rational
for what would be condemned as an outright criminal attack on a country
with which we are not at war, it is important to examine this claim of
humanitarian concern going beyond the rhetoric to actual deeds.

  At the early start of the Cold War, upon reports (rumors?) that
the Indonesian Communist Party was planning a revolt, the Indonesian
military with the support of the CIA carried out a preemptive campaign in
which upwards of one million people were massacred.  Anyone on the CIA's
list of suspected communists was systematically eliminated without due
process.  It is incredibly difficult to believe there were one million
Indonesian Soviet agents or that indiscriminate slaughter was the answer.
  Also in the case of Indonesia one doesn't have to go back that
far to illustrate the US concern for humanity.  In 1976 Indonesia annexed
the former Portuguese colony of East Timor in flagrant violation of
international law and the wishes of the people of Timor.  Since that day
the Indonesian military has conducted a bloody campaign to overcome the
resistance of the people of Timor who only want their independence.  In a
revealing demonstration of the concern for humanitarian interests. the US
government has enthusiastically supported the Indonesian military with
money and weapons in this near genocidal war against the people of East
Timor.

  The war against Vietnam  was based on an outright lie and a
paranoid deception.  The Gulf of Tonkin  attack on an American vessel was
the lie and the paranoid "domino theory" of communist conquest was the
deception.  Neither one proved to be true.  The object was to accomplish
in Vietnam what the Indonesian military did in East Timor with US
approval, to pick up a colony abandoned by another power.  In this case,
France was finally forced to surrender by the Vietnamese liberation army
but not before the US made the "humanitarian" offer to help the French
overcome the Vietnamese by using the atom bomb.  The French, to their
credit refused the offer.   The US "humanitarian" effort in Vietnam cost
55,000 American lives one million Vietnamese lives, widespread ecological
destruction from chemical warfare and the ongoing death and injury from
the thousand of landmines the US employed in a "humanitarian" effort to
"save" the Vietnamese people.

  The civilized world was horrified by the ruthless Khmer Rouge
attempt to cleanse Cambodia of western influence.  The slaughter of a
million Cambodians left no doubt about the criminal nature of this
enterprise.  Yet for many years, the US government openly supported the
Khmer Rouge claim to a seat on the UN and secretly helped to support them
in the field with weapons and supplies.  The reason for this
"humanitarian" support of one of the most cold blooded regimes of this
bloody century?  The US hoped to use the Khmer Rouge against the
Vietnamese government.  The details of this sordid policy were hidden
from the American people with the complicity of the

Hello!!
Yesterday I walked through Kneza Milosa street in Belgrade, right in the
center of the town. Many buidings in this (and surrounding) streets were
destroyed by NATO bombs -- it is the part of the town where many
government and military HQ buildings are placed, together with foreign
embassies, etc. One of the bombs that fell haven't exploded, and was
activated recently, in the middle of the day, causing more damages and
destructions... Broken glass and heavy blocks of bricks and mortar were
launched all around, and few streets were closed for the traffic.
I've read an article about the small town in Belgium, which is also called
Belgrade, and they even have a football club called Red Star!..."I hope
that they will not bomb us by mistake" - said one of the citizens of
Belgrade, Belgium, refering to many NATO "mistake bombings". By the way,
there are at least 3 or 4 Belgrades in U.S. as well.
Last night one of the army barracks in Pancevo ( placed near the train
station ) was bombed by NATO.Barracks were already emptied, but the
detonation has produced damages to many civilian houses in town.Today,at
about 2PM, antiaircraft defenses in villages around Pancevo were bombed
after a sudden NATO attack, and several villagers were injured, with  their
houses and goods seriously damaged. A friend of ours, who plays drums in a
band called NUP, and is one of the cartoonists gathered around my "Kitchen"
comics workshop, was drafted in a defense unit placede in his native
village of Banatsko Novo Selo. We tryed to call and see if he was OK, but
the lines were busy all the time, probably because so many people were
calling their friends and relatives... Djavo (the drummer) called me later,
and said that he was on a vacation during that attack, thank god.
 Today, while I drew my new comic strip, I played a lot of Jonathan
Richman's records. Couple of months ago, together with a guy from B92 radio
station, I was trying to contact Jonathan and convince him to play in
Belgrade, after his concert in
Salonika, in Greece, planned for mid March. It turned out that Jonathan's
schedule was too busy, and he missed the opportunity to play in Serbia some
days before the bombing, ha ha.
More detonations around Pancevo while I write this. The sound of
detonations is something that we will not forget, even when the war is
over. It echoes inside your psychological structure, and I'm sure that it
will come up in my dreams for many years to come.
Until soon

We are coming up to the 10th anniversary of the suppression of the
Tienanmen Demonstrations. After the bombing of the Chinese embassy, many
western news media commented on the possible threat the students'
outrage represented to the Chinese govt.  which is currently very
nervous about 'stability'.
China is the next big enemy which the western elite has in its sights.
Check out the New Atlantic Initative founded in Prague 1996 by Kissinger
and friends
See http://www.aei.org/nai/istanbul/beedham.htm
http://www.aei.org/nai/istanbul/material.htm
http://www.aei.org/nai/naimemb.htm (for who is behind the NAI)

We are also 99 years from the Siege of the Foreign Legations in Peking
by the fanatically anti-western Boxer sect who were supported by the
government of the Dowager Empress. At the centre of the foreign
legations and leading their resistance was the British legation (UK was
then THE superpower). 8 western nations (mostly imperialists) ganged up
on China, organised the first incipient New World Order global police
force, marched into Peking, relieved the legations after a 2 month siege
and sacked Peking. China's humiliation was deep. The Chinese do not
forget these things.

The elite forces are aware of timing - they work with it. 10 years from
Tienanmen and 99 years from the Embassy siege, might they not  - with
their no-way accidental bombing of the Chinese Embassy  - be
"announcing" the opening of a Cold War against China which may be
intended to upgrade to a hot war some time in the next 20 years?
See the very interesting article on the West's plans for China in
Richard Moore: "China vs New World Order - The Final War and the Dark
Millennium"  at:
 http://www.newdawnmagazine.com.au/Resources/index.htm

Might they not have started by stirring up the hornets' nest of Chinese
youth - which could well turn into a movement against the government,
swelled by the armies of the unemployed? Could this be intended as the
beginning of the destabilisation of China?

Interesting, But I think it might be a little bit - you know - Lets just
say I can see why you crossposted to the conspiracy theory groups.

Why would it be in the interest of the US to antagonise China So?
Where do you pluck the 20 years figure from?
Is Richard Moore an authority on this subject - is he privy to the
Innermost dealings of governments?

But then after all that nit-picking, There is always the "Its possible."

Going back to the bombing, I agree that saying it was an accident is
risible, but faulty intelligence has led to many a worse disaster in the
past, and it is entirely possible that the US was "screwed" by, well,
basically double agents.
As for sowing the seeds of discontent amongst the dissillusioned
of china, I'm afraid I can't follow the logic of bombing the embassy,
and having all china unite against you. Hardly an effective policy
if that was the aim.

But then with "Slick Willy" Clinton in charge, I wouldn't put any
blunder past the US's abilities ;-)

Remember that Punk Rocker who died [Windsorcide?] after issuing a song
with this name? Maybe he was onto something.

I find it difficult to believe everything I read, but when hints from
several sources tend to support an allegation, it is probably wise to
at least pay attention to some of those wild claims. Don't forget the
world wide dragon symbol, especially the one related to St. George in
England. And the Royals certainly are cold fish!

http://www.davidicke.com/icke/articles/desborough.html

The link above leads to a review of a book by David Icke. Anyone know
about him, his name keep turning up on a mailing list I receive. The
guy who sends the emails claims Icke is a good way to introduce New
Agers and leftist feel good types (who would never read
constitutionalist books) to what's really going on in our world. That
certainly needs to be done. Maybe some of the farther out stuff is
only "symbolic." Could be. But I suppose the whole ball of wax might
be true. Why not?

Is this what Andrea Chen was chiding me about, when I poo-pooh'd the
UFO mythos... she warned me to watch out; she said I was setting
myself up for the biggest lie of all. So, OK! I'll keep an open mind
toward the stuff that's making the rounds. At worst, I suppose it
can't be any more "untrue" than most of what oozes from the boob tube,
or from the pages of the controlled press.  Still, the concept that
the self-styled Royal Family could be shape shifting Reptiles is a
little hard to swallow.

Oh yeah, Icke mentions the fact that some people know how to turn a
common kitchen variety MICROWAVE OVEN into a DEATH RAY.
Now a highly intelligent engineer I knew a couple years back was
mumbling the same thing. Only I didn't pay attention, because it
sounded rather far fetched, and I was more interested in some of the
other junk he had in his workshop. . . Does anyone know about this
Popular Science Microwave Death Ray conversion? Boy, if it's true,
then when guns are outlawed, outlaws will have microwave ovens! (?)
Hmmm. Maybe that's why they plan to turn off the electricity, come
Y2K.

Ezekial is the key to the puzzle and the Assassins who lie in wait for

[CTRL] Fwd: SNET: Fwd: The bombs are driving us mad...: Letter from Belgrade + NATO LEADERSCHARGED FOR WAR CRIMES + New Anti-War Efforts in Ottawa, National RallyMay 29

1999-05-12 Thread Kris Millegan






-  SNETNEWS  Mailing List

Hello

In an effort to present the other unreported side of the picture -
unreported because most of the media have received orders not to report
these facts or are too coward to do so - I'm forwarding you a distressing
letter from a doctor in Belgrade under the NATO bombs and a couple other
related items.

I would dare to say that enough is enough. Stop the bombing now! The point
has been made and the "honor" of almighty NATO has been saved. As for the
future of Kosovo, I think the Yugoslav government will be a lot more
"receptive" to a negociated peace settlement and a UN monitored home return
of the forced refugees if NATO just let them a breathing space to think
straight again, without the nightly bombing runs!

As you'll see, the other side of the story as seen from under the bombs is
really saddening, especially if you stop to think about all those children
frightened to death and permanently traumatised by the wanton destruction
and death visited on their land by high flying jets and Cruise missiles.
These innocent children have nothing to do with the cruel deeds of their
government against the Kosovar people and deserve our compassion as much as
the hundreds of thousands of refugees suffering an equally terrible trauma
because of a despot in Yugoslavia and his army of goons.

We cannot tolerate this terrible situation much longer and it is time all
responsible and sane people express their revulsion against the use of such
violent means to presumably counter the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo.

War has been given its chance and it has not worked.

So now let's give peace a chance... once again!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSON OR EDITORIAL
DEPARTMENT. AND DARE TO QUESTION THE WAY THIS WAR IS BEING CONDUCTED...

"If we were a species of animals I am sure animal protection groups
would stand up against what is happening to us?" Dr. Miroslav Milicevic,
Belgrade, Yugoslavia


Daily Telegraph (London) 7th May 1999

'Attacks on Belgrade are driving us mad'

Prof Miroslav Milicevic, Chief of Surgery at Belgrade University
Hospital, has lived through the bombing of Belgrade. In extracts from a
letter to a friend with whom he worked for two years at Imperial
College, London, he describes his experiences. He has never been a
supporter of President Milosevic and carries no political affiliation,
according to his friend.

Tuesday, May 4.

Dear colleague,

Hope you and the kids are doing OK. My father told me that you called
and that you said that you have been trying to reach me for some time
but that it proved impossible. I am not surprised, it is a miracle that
phones are working at all, not to mention international lines.

I really thank you both for inquiring about us. What can I say about the
way we live. Whatever I say is not terrible enough and does not portray
the present situation in its extreme horror. When the bombing started,
Lepa and the kids were here for two days. I have a bomb shelter in the
house where I live and we spent practically two nights there.

The sirens, the blasts and the general feeling really deranged my kids
(they are only 5 and 7) and Lepa could not take it at all. It was like a
nightmare. My kids really suffered greatly and after a few days I had to
decide to move them out of the country, which was not easy at all.

There was really no choice since they would definitely have been
psychologically damaged for life. I made up my mind in two hours and
arranged for a minibus to drive my family and the families of two of my
friends to Budapest. We were driving behind the minibus to make sure
they made it across the bridges. Can you imagine how it feels when you
are speeding down the road and 700 metres to your left you have
screeching aircraft piloted by morons bombing the airfield in Batajnica?
Can you imagine how the kids feel?

We knew that it was an opportunity to get our families to safety and
that we had to take it no matter what the risk was. Believe me Nagy,
that we only hoped that if someone had to die it was us and not our
children. They made it to Budapest, thank God. From there Lepa and the
kids went to Moscow. It is fortunate that I have a brother there and he
has been taking care of them since.

What has been happening since. Utter madness. We do very little surgery,
only what is inevitable and have emptied the hospital for eventual
casualties. We are low on supplies, and you can imagine how surgeons
that do not operate feel.

We have 24 hour shifts every few days (several teams headed by a
professor) as spare teams for the Emergency Centre teams. There is
depression and anger everywhere you turn. No one can do anything smart -
we just exist. I cannot write or read. Friends (since most families are
in exile) meet and spend their time together. I am relieved when I
operate - it keeps my mind off my family and the unbelievable reality.

[CTRL] Mrs. O'Leary's Chinese Cash Cow?

1999-05-12 Thread Peter L. Sroufe

 -Caveat Lector-

Sunday May 9, 1:52 PM

Mrs. O'Leary's Chinese Cash Cow?

Now that it's clear America's nuclear security has gone up in smoke, it may
be time to borrow a phrase from the Great Chicago Fire and ponder the role
of former Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary and her onetime cash cow, Johnny
Chung.

Recent media reports have focused on the $300,000 Chung received from
Chinese military intelligence and the $35,000 of that sum (at least) that
found its way into Democratic National Committee coffers.

But the press seems to be suffering a bout of collective amnesia regarding
information on Chung it reported two years ago, which points to a much more
direct financial connection to O'Leary -- and even a member of the first
family.

O'Leary was in charge of security policy at U.S. nuclear labs where
Newsweek, for instance, has now described the Chinese penetration as
"total." Here's what's been on the record about the Chung-O'Leary money
trail for nearly two years:

"No less startling was Mr. Chung's allegation that the Democratic Party was
not the only player with a ravenous appetite for money. He also described
how he was, in effect, shaken down for a $25,000 donation to Africare, a
charitable organization supported by the Energy Secretary at the time, Hazel
O'Leary." (New York Times, Aug. 22, 1997)

Here's how Chung himself put it, in an exchange with NBC's Tom Brokaw days
before the Times report:

BROKAW: Were you surprised when someone could get you in to see Hazel
O'Leary if you would write a check to her favorite charity?

CHUNG: I begin to understand a little bit, but I am still a little bit
surprised.

BROKAW: Yeah. Who picked up the check?

CHUNG: There's one gentleman, present himself as the Energy Department
official, and said I'm here to pick it up, the $25,000 check ...

BROKAW: To Africare?

CHUNG: To Africare.

BROKAW: A charity that the energy secretary supports, she sends over
somebody from the Energy Department to pick it up, and you get a meeting
with her with a very prominent Chinese petrochemical official?

CHUNG: Yes. (Investor's Business Daily -- Aug. 26, 1997)

The Chung-O'Leary money trail deeply troubled even stalwart media FOBs like
Lars-Erik Nelson, who complained in his New York Daily News column that,
"Johnny Chung's story about Hazel O'Leary could put some people in jail."

Other reports at the time noted that Chung also ponied up $25,000 to a group
formed to attack Sen. Al D'Amato, who was then chairing congressional
hearings into the Clintons' Whitewater land deal. After that, Chung got to
meet the first lady herself, who, Chung says, offered him the greeting,
"Welcome to the White House, my friend."

Of course, news that O'Leary had her hand in Chung's cookie jar came 18
months before we learned that the Chinese had obtained 50 years worth of our
nuclear secrets, with most of them disappearing out the back door on
O'Leary's watch.

NewsMax.com Executive Editor Chris Ruddy was the first to uncover a possible
connection between lax security at our weapons labs and policy changes
implemented through O'Leary.

In his March 11, 1999 report, "Scientist: Clinton Administration Gave China
Top Nuclear Secrets", Ruddy revealed:

"China's efforts culminated with a delegation of Chinese scientists who
visited [Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory] in the winter of 1994, and
another visit by Department of Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary at about the
same time."

Ruddy's source, a Livermore whistleblower, contended that "the Clinton
administration has, in fact, aggressively sought to provide China with some
of the most closely guarded nuclear weapons technology." At Livermore, this
scientist said, "the administration had facilitated the transfer of laser
technology employed in the process of making nuclear weapons-grade
plutonium."

After O'Leary's 1994 meeting at the California lab, "the scientist recalled
several Livermore scientists in a heated debate over whether 'this type of
information [relating to the weapons-enriching laser process] should be
considered for technology transfer' to China."

"The deal with China for the technology transfer was consummated, the
scientist said, sometime later that year after O'Leary's visit, when top DOE
officials, Department of Commerce officials representing Ron Brown, White
House representatives and Chinese government officials met in a guarded room
at the Pleasanton Hilton nearby to Livermore."

CIA official described as "worse than the Rosenberg spy case," Inside Cover
wonders why the press has forgotten about Chung's donations to the pet
causes of O'Leary and Mrs. Clinton.

Depending upon how Chung explains those donations in testimony before the
House Government Reform and Oversight Committee this week, the Clinton
administration could emerge as a victim of a Chinese plot to subvert U.S.
national security -- or as a willing co-conspirator.

Well, I don't really believe that the bombing of the Chinese Embassy was an
accident. Even the CIA ain't *that* stupid. Besides, intelligence officers
have to be used to working with old maps and atlases, sometimes *very* old.
During the Italian campaign in 1944-45, Allied Intelligence realized that the
Germans were using the old, pre-WWI Austrian names for towns, rivers, and
other geographic features in the Italian Tyrol, thus making it difficult for
POW interrogators to know what German prisoners were talking about. So G-2
just hunted up pre-WWI copies of *Baedeker's Süd-Tirol*, which had better maps
than they were using anyway... And in North Africa, the standard maps used by
the first Allied units following the landings in Morocco in 1942 were simply
the Michelin tourist maps, complete with "scenic routes" carefully marked out.
I still have one of those maps which belonged to my father. (His war souvenirs
tended to be a little different--his other souvenir of North Africa is a
grammar of Moroccan Arabic.)

Subject: H.R. 1146 needs your help!

I have just received a letter from Ron Paul, c/o Liberty Study Committee.

As you know, Ron Paul introduced H.R. 1146 - American Sovereignty
Restoration
Act last yearbut it was difficult to get other members of the House to
co-sponsor this bill because most of them still think the way my
Representative thinks"the U.N. is just a debating society"Can you
believe this ridiculous excuse for not co-sponsoring H.R. 1146?

Well, H.R. 1146 is being re-introduced this year, but hopefully with more
Americans involved to put it over the topand the way to accomplish that
is to sign up with the Liberty Study Committee who are determined to get us
out of the United Nations NOW!

Since its founding 52 years ago, Americans have poured over $30 billion into
the U.N. monstrosity.  Americans pay 25% of all U.N. bills and a whopping
31%
of all "peacekeeping" costs.  Now, the U.N. bureacrats want $2 billion in
"back dues"
and the right to tax us directly on airline tickets, phone calls and
international transactions (and that's only the beginning!).  They want to
put their hand directly into our pockets without having to go throught the
U.S. Congress to pay for their lavish lifestyles.and remember, this
doesn't include the U.N. "standby" army for which the Clinton
administrartion
gave the U.N. seed money last year. And all this says nothing about the
U.N. conventions and treaties that endanger individual rights and are
designed to take control of U.S. lands and property rights, as well as
regulate human behavior.  (and my congressman, Porter Goss, calls the U.N. a
"debating society"..!!!).
Last year, Ron got 54 votes in favor of getting us out of the U.N.  This
year, let's leave the "hate-America" bureaucrats at the U.N. in shock and
get
300 more!

H.R. 1146 will shut down U.N. headquarters, and cut off all American funding
for the U.N. including all of its agencies as well as its funding and
participation in U.N. "peacekeeping" operations.  H.R. 1146 will revoke
diplomatic immunity for U.N. bureaucrats  H.R. 1146 makes our message
crystal clear:  U.S. out of the U.N.!!

  people want to be atheists, that's okay. But I disagree with
  their materialistic viewpoint. For a time I was agnostic, but
  I became convinced beyond doubt that there's more than the
  material world.

 Are explanations that invoke one or more arbitrarily/infinitely
 complex supernatural entities/forces useful?  Are such explan-

 explanations?  If some phenomena can't be explained by material
 means now, does that mean that they can NEVER be so explained?

 Once you've invoked magic to explain something, you're stuck,
 aren't you?  You've said that there's some inexplicable mystery
 there, some singularity that's not amenable to further inquiry.
 Now you're at a dead end.  Good scientific theories always make
 predictions, pointing to new areas of inquiry, new avenues to
 explore.  Magic, religion, just stop cold, leaving you to do
 noting but worship or vegetate or masturbate.  Bother.

"Magic" is often just another name for physics... Remember Clarke's Law:
"Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." For all I

HDD machine I'm using might as well be powered by elemental salamanders held
captive by a sorcerous cantrip as by the Pentium II chip it "actually" uses.
Skepticism is a two- (or more) edged sword...and I find that it pays to be as
skeptical of materialist claims as I am of knee-jerk spiritualist claims.
Magic *works*; religion works (for me); science works, most of the time.

SAVING THE EARTH

Excerpts from Brave New Schools by Berit Kjos

   * * * * * *
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global
warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill All
these dangers are caused by human
intervention... The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.1 Club of Rome (an
influential group of globalist
leaders)

   * * * * * *
In the weeks surrounding Earth Day (April 22, Lenin's birthday), students
from coast to coast celebrate their spiritual connection to Mother Earth,
chant prayers to the Great Spirit, and imagine politically correct answers
to the unequal distribution of the world's resources. Using computers that
"simulate the real world," they recreate environmental disasters and
"solve" global problems.

These dubious lessons share a common aim-. to persuade students to reject
Western culture and become
advocates for new global beliefs and values. While this agenda makes little
sense to those who view America from a traditional perspective, it makes
perfect sense to leaders seeking global laws that would govern land,
people, education, and consumption.

A lesson in Clean Sweep, an environmental curriculum published by the Iowa
Department of Education,
illustrates the bias behind environmental education. The class divides into
two groups: first, the world's
current population seated in a circle representing the earth; second, the
"unborn" people of the world. Played like musical chairs, the game
instructs the first group to gather natural resources whenever the music
stops.

Meanwhile, new children are "born", adding to the fast-growing "population"
consuming the dwindling
resources. Guess what happens. The world runs out of resources.

Like most environmental classroom exercises, the game sounds logical but
distorts reality. Designed to change attitudes, it ignores scientific
facts, social statistics, and renewable resources.2 Yet, what it does is
far more dangerous than what it omits: it gives children an alarming view
of an imagined reality. They feel the exaggerated dangers. They agree to
solve the problem.

To make sure the children understand that America is the villain of the
world, they discuss the main message: "The U.S.A. uses over 20% of the
world's resources. . . How do the others feel toward the U.S.A. in this
game?" Other questions prod the children toward these "right" conclusions:
America's demand for resources deprives poorer nations of their equal
share. Greedy nations must reduce consumption, block population growth, and
make whatever sacrifices needed for common good and planetary healing.
Genuine concern for the environment is needful, for ecological abuses do
destroy farm land, sea life, forests, and other resources-especially
outside the Western word. But since most environmental problems are local
or regional, they fail to serve the political purposes of global leaders
who want nothing less than global governance.

Rousing whole nations to action, and inspiring a unified call for planetary
management requires global
disasters like ozone holes3 and rising ocean levels, not merely dying lakes
and rivers. Globalist leaders know that well.

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global
warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill," declared
members of the Club of Rome in a sweeping 1991 report on global
governance." All these dangers are caused by human intervention The
real enemy, then, is humanity itself." 4

Al Gore, who wrote a book to spread a similar message, said, "We must make
rescue of the environment the central organizing principle for
civilization."5 In Earth in the Balance, he calls for a "worldwide
education program" and a "panreligious perspective" based on "the wisdom
distilled by all faiths."6

Gore knows that common beliefs and values based on idealized (not factual)
models of earth-centered cultures are vital to planetary oneness. Just as
tribes, not individuals, owned the land and shared common values, so
government must control land, populations, and beliefs in the next decade.
A mythical "common good" must inspire the new policies.7

"We'd like to see the world a better place... to get some broad-based
support, to capture the public's
imagination," said Stanford University environmentalist Stephen Schneider.
"That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to
offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make
little mention of any doubts we might have... Each of us has to decide what
the right balance is between being effective and being honest."8 (Emphasis
added)

In other words, facts must yield to ideology. Excluded from public debate
are uncompromising scientists like Dr. Frederick Seitz, past President of
the National Academy of Sciences and

CHAPTER XXIV

MORAL CONSEQUENCES OF NEW DEAL

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

One of the gravest injuries done the nation by the Marxist New Deal is the
decay that it has wrought in the people's moral fibre. There has been a
certain measure of decay, some rotten apples in the barrel, from the start.
Gradual and insidious changes were brought about by legal and political
termites, the disciples of Bismarxian propaganda, who have gnawed at the law
and Constitution. This slow process was accelerated in Wilson's
Administration. But in Roosevelt's regime, an overnight abrogation of the
Constitution was effected on the grounds that it was antiquated. They
developed a total disregard of all law by the very public officers who were
sworn to uphold it. A destructive transformation was effected in the entire
governmental organization that has converted it into the worst type of
tyrannic autocracy in which the whim and caprice of every petty bureaucrat is
a dictate from which there is no appeal.

In short, government by law and Constitution have ceased to exist. The United
States has become as tyranny-ridden and corrupt a land as those of the pashas
and viziers. Citizens have no longer any legally defined rights or
privileges. There has been substituted for government by law, dictation by
insolent, autocratic and irresponsible bureaucrats from whose arbitrary and
unprincipled dictates there is no appeal; and rule by favoritism and an
unabashedly dishonest officialdom. As a consequence of the disregard of prin
ciple and law, the practice of law has degenerated to the practice of
"reaching" and bribing key bureaucrats.

This conception has gone so far, even in our courts, that New Dealers
themselves are beginning to protest against it. Thus U. S. Supreme Court
Justice Felix Frankfurter, one of the sponsors of the New Deal placed on the
Bench in connection with the packing of the Court, protested against the open
collusion in. volved in the decision handed down by Judge Ben Moore in the
CIO test case of the provision of the Taft Hartley Law on the use of union
funds for campaign purposes. This section of the law is intended to prevent
partial disfranchisement of some members of the unions by compelling them to
contribute through union campaign funds to the election of candidates favored
by the Labor Barons but opposed by themselves. Undoubtedly an element of this
protest was directed to the failure of Judge Moore to disqualify himself
because his old firm is employed by the United Mine Workers, CIO.

Equality before the law has ceased to exist. Such equality is decried as
unfair and inconsiderate of "human rights". The average employer, the
landlord, the investor and the person who has saved his money are criminally
suspect and are held guilty in many directions, even if proved innocent. But
the laborer, the poor and the improvident are generally held innocent no
matter what they do — if they do not transgress against Dynastic interests or
Labor Barons.

Property rights have virtually ceased to exist for the average citizen. In
the quest for monopoly and dictatorship via Communism, labelled "New Deal",
there has been spurned the sound commonsense counsel of Abraham Lincoln to a
delegation of union officials who called on him after the New York Draft
Riots:

"Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in
the world. That some should be rich shows that others may be rich, and hence
is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is
houseless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and
build one for himself, thus by example assuring his own shall be safe from
violence when built".

In these few commonsense statements applying the "Golden Rule" to property
rights, Lincoln reduced to absurdity the fundamental Marxist and New Deal
doctrines on property rights. But the Dynasty's malevolent purposes are
better served by Marx's insane concepts, which they propagandize and foster
in law.

Where there is no honesty in government, none can be expected in private
life. Diligent, industrious, principled and provident individuals who provide
employment, housing and other necessities of life for their fellow-men are
pilloried by law and the government, as criminals on a priori grounds. They
are deprived of the benefit of justice and honesty, and the protection of
Constitution or law, by corrupt, demagogue officials and servile, venal and
self-serving judiciary. In many instances, such as rent control laws,
landlords are declared guilty of violating, retroactively, laws which did not
exist at the time of the acts in question; and viciously are penalized
therefore. A form of "lettre de cachet" has become a favorite "New Deal"
device for dealing

 -Caveat Lector-

an excerpt from:
Every Secret Thing
Patricia Hearst©1982
w/ Alvin MoscowDoubleday  Company, Inc.
Garden City, N.Y.
-
I hated the idea of having to reveal myself to these unknown doctors, who
would probe my mind impersonally, stripping me of the last shreds of privacy.
Cinque had done that to me in the SLA interrogations, and now I had to submit
to basically the same thing at the hands of psychiatrists. My fear, no doubt,
was based upon my family's disdain of psychiatry to resolve personal
problems. My sisters and I had been brought up to believe that we were
responsible for what we did and could not blame our transgressions on
something being wrong inside our heads. I had joined the SLA because if I
didn't they would have killed me. And I remained with them because I truly
believed that the FBI would kill me if they could, and if not, the SLA would.
In my mind now, I was a "bad girl" for doing all that and now would have to
be punished.

When the first of the psychiatrists came to see me on September 30, just
eleven days after my arrest, I simply crumpled under his scrutiny. I cried,
murmuring and mumbling out replies that were not answers to his questions. He
thought I was refusing to cooperate with him. This was Dr. Louis Joloyn West,
Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA, Director of the
Neuropsychiatric Institute, Psychiatrist-in-Chief of UCLA Hospitals, a
licensed MD., Chairman of the Council on Research and Development of the
American Psychiatric Association, psychiatric consultant to the Air Force,
author of books and studies on prisoners of war, an internationally
recognized expert in his field. I thought he had a creepy hypnotic voice. A
tall, heavy-set man who appeared to be kindly, I suspected "Jolly" of being
too smooth, too soothing to be trusted.

After trying to deal with me for about an hour and a half, Dr. West left the
consulting room, where we were meeting, and complained to Al Johnson about my
refusing to cooperate fully with him. Al came in and spoke to me and after
lunch Dr. West and I went at it for another two hours. He tried to be gentle
and kind, I suppose, but his questions became more intimate and personal. It
was one thing to explain things to the lawyers: their questions were for the
most part factual and relatively superficial. I could answer them with a
word, a short sentence, a nod of my head. But with Dr. West, and the other
psychiatrists who followed him, the questions probed areas which brought me
back to that closet and the abuse my comrades had meted out to me. It was
astonishing how much had receded from my memory and how much of my ordeal had
been altered by my acceptance of the SLA version of my status as a prisoner
of war. But when Dr. West probed, I was forced to relive those moments again
as they had happened. He would not allow me to gloss over events and repress
my emotions any further. And each time, I would break down in tears. I wept
in these sessions almost as much as I had wept in the SLA closet It was the
first time since the closet that I had wept like that, the first time since
then that I allowed myself to truly feel. Dr. West, I thought, was
inordinately interested in the sex that went on within the SLA, particularly
in the lesbian relationships. He seemed to think free sex was an integral
part of the cell and I could sense that he simply did not believe me when I
told him the comrades were more devoted to combat drills and training for the
revolution than to sex. But then, even eminent psychiatrists have been
conditioned to certain stereotypes which they take for granted.

Despite all this and despite my own depression, Dr. West did get through to
me in time and I tried to tell him of Cinque's interrogations, the threats,
the metallic clicking of the rifles when I thought they were going to kill
me, the sex forced upon me in the closet, the offer to join them or to die,
the bank robbery, the criticism/self-criticism meetings, the weapons, the
combat drills, the political indoctrination, my fears, my desire not to anger
them, and my subsequent inability to escape or even to telephone anyone for
help.

All of this, or most of it, was extracted from me by the doctor very slowly
and painfully. I was amazed at how much I had repressed of those early days
of torture and torment. Ile mind, it seems, obliterates the memory of pain.
But I also suffered losses of memory of some periods of time before my
kidnapping. I could not recall, for instance, a single course I had been
taking at Berkeley at the time I was kid-napped, or where my sisters had gone

CHAPTER ONE

"Mr. Brown" and the Start of a Diary

Late one day in May, 1942, several Russians burst into my office at Newark
Airport, furious over an outrage that had just been committed against Soviet
honor. They pushed me toward the window where I could see evidence of the
crime with my own eyes.

They were led by Colonel Anatoli N. Kotikov, the head of the Soviet mission
at the airfield. He had become a Soviet hero in 1935 when he made the first
seaplane flight from Moscow to Seattle along the Polar cap; Soviet newspapers
of that time called him "the Russian Lindbergh." He had also been an
instructor of the first Soviet parachute troops, and he had 38 jumps to his
credit.

I had met Colonel Kotikov only a few days before, when I reported for duty on
May 10, 1942. My orders gave the full title of the Newark base as "UNITED
NATIONS DEPOT No. 8, LEND-LEASE DIVISION, NEWARK AIRPORT, NEWARK, NEW JERSEY,
INTERNATIONAL SECTION, AIR SERVICE COMMAND, AIR CORPS, U.S. ARMY."

I was destined to know Colonel Kotikov very well, and not only at Newark. At
that time he knew little English, but he had the hardihood to rise at 5:30
every morning for a two-hour lesson. Now he was pointing out the window,
shaking his finger vehemently.

There on the apron before the administration building was a medium bomber, an
A-20 Douglas Havoc. It had been made in an American factory, it had been
donated by American Lend-Lease, it was to be paid for by American taxes, and
it stood on American soil. Now it was ready to bear the Red Star of the
Soviet Air Force. As far as the Russians and Lend-Lease were concerned, it
was a Russian plane. It had to leave the field shortly to be hoisted aboard
one of the ships in a convoy that was forming to leave for Murmansk and
Kandalaksha. On that day the Commanding Officer was absent and, as the acting
Executive Officer, I was in charge.

I asked the interpreter what "outrage" had occurred. It seemed that a DC-3, a
passenger plane, owned by American Airlines, had taxied from the runway and,
in wheeling about on the concrete plaza to unload passengers, had brushed the
Havoc's engine housing. I could easily see that the damage was not too
serious and could be repaired. But that seemed to be beside the point. What
infuriated the Russians was that it be tolerated for one minute that an
American commercial liner should damage, even slightly, a Soviet warplane!

The younger Russians huddled around Colonel Kotikov over their
Russian-English dictionary, and showed me a word: "punish." In excited voices
they demanded: "Pooneesh—peelotel" I asked what they wanted done to the
offending pilot. One of them aimed an imaginary revolver at his temple and
puffed the trigger.

"You're in America," I told him. "We don't do things that way. The plane will
be repaired and ready for the convoy."

They came up with another word: "Baneesh!" They repeated this excitedly over
and over again. Finally I understood that they wanted not only the pilot, but
American Air-lines, Inc., expelled from the Newark field.

I asked the interpreter to explain that the U.S. Army has no jurisdiction
over commercial companies. After all, the airlines had been using Newark
Airport long before the war and even before La Guardia Airport existed. I
tried to calm down the Russians by explaining that our aircraft maintenance
officer, Captain Roy D. Gardner, would have the bomber ready for its convoy
even if it meant a special crew working all night to finish the job.

I remembered what General Koenig had said about the Russians when I went to
Washington shortly after Pearl Harbor. He knew that in 1917 I had served in
the Flying Machine Section, U.S. Signal Corps, and that I had been in combat
overseas. When he told me there was an assignment open for a Lend-Lease
liaison officer with the Red Army Air Force, I was eager to hear more about
it.

"It's a job, Jordan, that calls for an infinite amount of tact to get along
with the Russians," the General said. "They're tough people to work with, but
I think you can do it."

Thus I had been assigned to Newark for the express purpose of expediting the
Lend-Lease program. I was determined to perform my duty to the best of my
ability. I was a "retread" as they called us veterans of World War I and a
mere Captain at the age of 44—but I had a job to do and I knew I could do it.
The first days had gone reasonably well and I rather liked Kotikov. But there
was no denying it, the Russians were tough people to work with.

As my remarks about repairing the bomber on time were being translated, I
noticed that Colonel Kotikov was fidgeting

while buying some other books at the ufo convention this other book seller

 what about the origins of the book?

Hi there..

Here is an excerpt from some court documents about the origins of the Urantia
Book...

http://www.ubook.org/UBOrigin.html


J.2 HOW WERE THE URANTIA PAPERS MATERIALIZED?
Sources used for this section:
HISTORY OF THE URANTIA MOVEMENT - A short historical narrative was "prepared
by a group of Urantia pioneers, assisted by members of the contact commission
- 1960"
HISTORY OF THE URANTIA MOVEMENT - [Anonymous] "History Two" is an enlarged
version of the above history, and is not dated. The added material includes
writings that are probably from a member of the Contact Commission who also
performed stenographic duties throughout the nearly fifty-year process. [Note
#4]
A HISTORICITY OF THE URANTIA PAPERS - Written by the only living colleague of
the Chicago Physician. A video taped interview with this colleague was also
used.
A recently discovered cassette tape commentary on the origins of the Urantia
Papers by a member of the Contact Commission.
The appendix of Mind at Mischief, published in 1929. This book was written by
the doctor involved in the case.

It is certain that no mortal being knows, or ever knew, the complete story of
how the Urantia Papers came to be. We do know that circa 1911, a prominent
Chicago physician, psychiatrist, and debunker of psychic phenomena began
treating a case of psychic activities that he was unable to explain. His
involvement, bafflement, and intellectual struggle with these activities
culminated in the publication of The Urantia Book in 1955. The identity of
the patient will never be known.

Some confusion exists about how the text of the Urantia Papers was
materialized - it was a different process than the early activities of the
contact personality. These early activities seemed - at first - typical of
"channeling" activities. The patient spoke while in a trance. He also
produced what were apparently "automatic" writings. Yet, there is no record -
whatever - of any individual having seen him write. In fact, "History Two"
states that: "During those early years, all of our observations and
investigations utterly failed to reveal the . . . technique of reducing the
messages to writing."

Perhaps the most baffling thing about the early messages that were produced
by the Contact Personality was their astounding content. The doctor involved
could not explain the unique material, nor how the patient seemed to be able
to produce it. The physician retained scientific objectivity, and was
especially skeptical in the early years of the process. History Two states:
"Those of us who early attended the nocturnal vigils never suspected that we
were in contact with anything supernatural."

Eventually, the doctor provisionally accepted the validity of the material
that was being recorded. His unqualified conviction developed over many
years, and was based upon the quality of the content of the Urantia Papers -
and the precise philosophic consistency of the complex and voluminous
material - not upon the puzzling and unexplained technique by which the
Papers were materialized. Throughout his life, the doctor urged others to
study and evaluate the Urantia Papers solely upon their content - not upon
any phenomena that may have been associated with their appearance.

The doctor, in the appendix of his 1929 book, describes the material as ". .
. essentially Christian, and is, on the whole, entirely harmonious with the
known scientific facts and truths of this age." He also stated that:
"Eighteen years of study and careful investigation have failed to reveal the
psychic origin of these messages. . . Its philosophic content is quite new,
and we have been unable to find where very much of it has ever found human
expression."

A CLEAR LINE OF DEMARCATION
It is important to establish a distinction between the early communications
and the remarkable events that eventually produced the actual text of the
Urantia Papers. After the Forum [originally 30 people] was brought into the
process [circa 1924], they submitted questions to the "celestial beings"
through the Contact Commission. According to the histories, the answers to
the questions were written out - it was never understood precisely how - and
formed a kind of first working draft for the Urantia Papers. The written
materials were subsequently typed, the typed papers verified, and finally,
the original written material destroyed. Eventually the typed copies were
also destroyed, per instructions by the Revelators.

It is clear that all of the text of the Urantia Papers was materialized in
written form. The puzzling aspects of how this was done completely baffled
the doctor and several other experts in psychic phenomena who were called in.
In addition, at some point handwriting experts were asked to examine the
written material. They verified that the handwritten material was not the
patient's

Problem is, everybody's doing just too much apologizing for this "accident."
It falls into the category of "Methinks the whatever doth protest too much,"
IMNSHO. If it were really a mistake, the response would have been something
like "We *what*? Oh-h-h shit. Hey listen, we're sorry, but that's the fortunes
of war, you know... I mean, if you sit in the middle of a war zone, there's a
strong possibility you're gonna be hit..." Instead Clinton and Albright and
Blair and Jamie Whatsisface have done everything but kowtow to Beijing in
atonement. And that smells very bad to me.

With regard to the competence of the CIA, unless they really are incompetent
(which can't be ruled out, of course!), ELINT will have been confirmed using
HUMINT. They have *got* to have guys on the street in Belgrade--hell, during
the run-up to Desert Storm, they had Green Berets burying themselves in the
sand so they could come up behind Saddam's lines when fighting started, and
SAS types in Lawrence of Arabia robes posing as bedouin on *camels* for
Chrissake, so you *know* every intelligence outfit in NATO has agents-in-place
all over Serbia. They *must* have known that the building their bombs were
aimed at was the Chinese Embassy, if for no other reason than that they hit it
with such precision. After all, this is warfare, not rocket science... [Note

[CTRL] HAPPY PUPPY SHEDS LIGHT ON VIOLENCE IN VIDEOGAMES

1999-05-12 Thread Robert Tatman

 -Caveat Lector-

HAPPY PUPPY SHEDS LIGHT ON VIOLENCE IN VIDEOGAMES
theglobe.com's Premier Online Gaming Lifestyle Publication Polls Users on
Controversial Topic
NEW YORK, NY -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 05/11/99 -- Happy Puppy, a leading online
gaming lifestyle publication since 1995, and part of theglobe.com network
(Nasdaq: TGLO), today announced the results of its Violence in Video Games
Survey. In light of the recent tragedy in Colorado and the attention
surrounding violence in entertainment, Happy Puppy surveyed gamers to
determine their opinion on whether or not video game violence translates into
violent behavior in the real world. Happy Puppy ran the survey for four days
and garnered nearly 3,000 responses. Over three-quarters of those surveyed
were male, 39 percent age 13-17 and 36 percent age 25 and over.

The majority of survey respondents were frequent players of games with violent
content, with 68 percent agreeing that the level of violence in video games is
acceptable for this form of entertainment. Only five percent claimed that
violent games increase the likelihood of violent tendencies, while 73 percent
stated that gaming violence has no affect on their behavior. More gamers felt
it was worse to kill human characters in games versus fantasy monsters or
animals. However, 85 percent felt that lawsuits brought against game
publishers for violent acts in society were an ineffective attempt to decrease
violence in our culture.

"Any discussion of the mutual influence of violence in society and in
entertainment needs to be handled delicately," said Elisabeth Crocker,
publisher of Happy Puppy and general manager of theglobe.com network. "We felt
it was important for gamers to have a voice in a public debate that could
potentially impact creative freedom within the games industry."

In comparison to other forms of entertainment, 80 percent of respondents felt
that the amount of violent content in video games is equal to, if not less
than, the amount of violence in feature films. Like movies, video games are
subject to a ratings system to alert consumers about the content of the game.
However, according to the survey less than one-third of gamers pay attention
to ESRB ratings and the majority of children under 18 have no parental
supervision while playing video games.

About Happy Puppy

Happy Puppy (http://www.happypuppy.com) was launched on Valentine's Day 1995,
establishing itself as the first-ever commercial games site. With traffic
numbering in the millions, Happy Puppy has been the leading gaming lifestyle

[CTRL] GM pollen warning to organic farmers

 -Caveat Lector-

Wednesday, May 12, 1999 Published at 14:58 GMT 15:58 UK


GM pollen warning to organic farmers

Bees can carry pollen across the barrier zones set up around GM crops

By Environment Correspondent Alex Kirby

A UK Government-commissioned scientific report on genetically-modified (GM)
crops is thought to say that GM pollen can spread over very long distances.


The Ministry of Agriculture (Maff) confirms that it requested the report,
from the John Innes Centre in Norwich.

It says the report exists in draft form, but will not comment on it until
ministers have seen it. Officials from Maff and the Department of the
Environment (DETR) are to meet the Soil Association and other organic
farming representatives on 14 May.

The meeting, which was arranged some time ago, will discuss several items,
including the report.
It is believed to say that some contamination of organic crops by GM plants
is inevitable. It is understood to accept the findings of a report two
months ago from the National Pollen Research Unit.

That said that GM pollen could be carried a long way by insects and on the
wind. With maize pollen, "in normal weather conditions, pollination could
occur at sites remote from the source (e.g. 180 kilometres)".

Setting an acceptable level

The rules governing official GM crop trials insist on just a 200-metre
barrier between trial and conventional plants.

The report from the John Innes Centre is thought to say that 1% of organic
plants in any field could become GM hybrids through cross-pollination. It
argues that "acceptable" levels of contamination of organic crops must be
agreed.

Organic crops cannot be guaranteed

The director of the Soil Association, which sets standards for organic
farmers, is Patrick Holden. He said: "We are implacably opposed to any
suggestion of a minimum level of contamination.

"When consumers say they want non-GM food, they don't mean food
contaminated up to a threshold of 1%, 2% or 5%. They mean GM-free."

Some scientists, while they agree that pollen can be carried far and wide,
say that the possibility of cross-pollination is very small with many
crops. The pollen grains lose their potency relatively quickly, and they
have to compete with locally-produced pollen when they land on plants.

Surrounding GM crops with plants of other species reduces the risk, because
cross-pollination between species is harder than within them. But the
scientists agree that there is no zero risk of GM pollen spreading, and no
barrier zone capable of preventing it.

[CTRL] Chinese Views

1999-05-12 Thread Alamaine Ratliff

 -Caveat Lector-

From Wash (DC) Post

Bombing Intended, Chinese Believe
U.S. Explanations Widely Discounted

By John Pomfret and Michael Laris
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, May 12, 1999; Page A24

BEIJING, May 11—The most remarkable thing about the protests that have erupted across 
China over the last four days is that the great majority of China's best and 
brightest, from software engineers to academics to busines
smen, believe deeply that the United States planned to destroy their embassy in 
Belgrade.

Millions more people in the world's most populous country seem convinced that the 
United States is out to get them. From posters around the campus of Beijing University 
to headlines in the state-controlled press, the NATO
 attack on the Belgrade embassy is being viewed here as part of a long-standing 
American plot to contain China.

"After the breakup of the Soviet Union, China has become United States' No. 1 
strategic enemy, not only today but into the 21st century," read a poster that 
received close attention today near the Beijing University campu
s. "While we are calling: 'Down with the USA,' " the poster said, "the United States 
is seriously engaging in work to overthrow China."

The depth of these beliefs, which is hard to exaggerate, helps explain why China has 
been reluctant to accept apologies made by President Clinton. Chinese, from 
well-connected security officials to university professors,
complained that Clinton's words lacked sincerity; several said they were surprised 
that the United States did not attempt to send an envoy to smooth the waters.

Moreover, for a complex web of reasons, many people in China
have no interest in believing the attack was a mistake. The
Communist Party does not want to believe the embassy was bombed
in error, because it can use the incident to deflect attention
from the 10th anniversary of the June 4 government crackdown on
democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. China also faces
enormous social problems, such as unemployment and official
corruption, so a round of full-throated nationalism, despite its
inherent risks, is seen by the party as a welcome distraction
from domestic concerns.

China's army and hard-line factions within the party and
government also are uncomfortable with the country's current
direction; it is becoming more capitalistic, less restrictive
and more open to Western ideas. A round of nativist, anti-
foreign demonstrations could be the antidote to such trends,
these people think.

Nevertheless, whether they were marching in angry mobs, gathered
on university campuses or relaxing at a McDonald's, the Chinese
view of the bombing has been unmistakable. Several dozen people
have charged in interviews that the United States intentionally
bombed the Belgrade embassy because it wants to keep China down.
Over and over, people declared that the United States never
would have killed three Chinese citizens if China were as strong
as America.

"It wasn't an attack on the embassy; it was that America wanted
to make a point," said Zhang Bin, a Beijing software engineer.
"America has a strategy. It wants to feel out China. It wants to
do an experiment -- to hit you and see if you respond, to see if
Chinese people will submit to this kind of American power
politics."

U.S. officials have said the attack was a tragic mistake caused
by military planners who had relied on an outdated map. But
people here said their respect for America's technological
prowess makes it impossible for them to believe that
explanation. "You have the best science in the world. How could
you lie and say it was a mistake?" said Wang Yali, a 33-year-old
award-winning documentary filmmaker, who has lived in New York.

The background of Chinese nationalism offers clues to the depth
of feeling about these issues here, where nativist sentiments
coexist uneasily with a desire to be open to the world. The same
people who are protesting today could be applying for U.S. visas
tomorrow.

For decades, the Beijing government's propaganda apparatus has
beaten the drum of nationalism, exploiting a history of invasion
by Western powers and the Japanese. The ruling Communist Party
bases its legitimacy on its role in helping Chinese "stand up"
in the world after more than 100 years of foreign humiliation.

On the street, NATO is routinely compared to the alliance of
eight foreign armies that, at the beginning of this century,
crushed the Boxer Rebellion, an uprising of Chinese farmers
against the depredations of Western imperialist powers. The
government-approved slogans are also laden with history: "Down
with American imperialism" has its roots in the Cultural
Revolution of 1966-76. "America, paper tiger" dates to the
Korean War of the 1950s.

Conspiracy theories have always had great currency in Chinese
society, in part because of people's restricted access to
information. But the conspiracy theories stemming from the
embassy attack border on the wacky.

X DRUDGE REPORT X WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1999 18:01:44 UTC X


ENGLAND'S SECRET SPIES NAMED ON NET; WHITE HOUSE ASKED FOR HELP

The lives of dozens of British intelligence agents were today put at risk
when they were publicly identified on a US-based Internet website.

Reporters Richard Holliday And Mark Benham were first with the story that
appeared in late editions of Wednesday's LONDON EVENING STANDARD.

Word of the massive intelligence leak was spreading throughout Europe.

The DRUDGE REPORT has learned that the White House got involved in the
situation late Wednesday afternoon.

The newspaper does not list the address of the website that published the
names.

The agents are all officers working for the Secret Intelligence Service
(SIS),  Britain's overseas intelligence gathering arm, formerly MI6.

Rear Admiral David Pulvertaft, the Defense Advisory Notice Secretary at
Whitehall - who gives advice to newspapers, television and radio on matters
of national security - issued a plea to editors not to publish the address
of the website or its contents as "such action could put lives at risk".

Admiral Pulvertaft told the STANDARD: "The published contents could be
gravely damaging. Officials here hope they will have this website removed as
speedily as possible."

He added: "How the information was obtained is also very worrying."

Asked how many officers had been identified on the website, he added: "I
would rather not say, but it is a large number."

Last week the Government obtained a court injunction to shut down a website
set up by MI6 renegade Richard Tomlinson in which he threatened to out
British agents and reveal the location of MI6 offices around the world.

During the Hungarian revolution many Russian tanks were taken out with

"Molotov cocktails". Tanks are not necessarily unstoppable.

In his book David's Toolkit  (on Loompanics), Ragnar Benson passes on a
great little  story about a fight between some Israeli militia on
motorcycles and a column of Egyptian tanks.   The tanks were throwing up
a dust cloud  behind them  as they tore through the desert.  The bikers
came out of the dust unannounced.  The tankers couldn't hear them coming
over the noize of their treads. The bikers wove in and out between the
tanks and started   flinging molotovs  left and right just as
prepositioned snipers opened up on the tankers' infantry support who were
 riding in trucks. The Egyptian infantry had to stop and dismount  just
to get clean shot off and when  they did they shot at the snipers because
that's where the incoming was coming in from.  Can't say I blame 'em.
They never even saw the bikers till it was  too late.

And this  in the desert, homeland of tanks.  Think about cities, homeland
of molotovs.

[CTRL] A Good Story

1999-05-12 Thread Bill Richer

 -Caveat Lector-

 During the course of World War II, many people gained
fame in one way or another.  One man was Butch O'Hare.  He was a fighter
pilot assigned to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific.  One time his
entire squadron was assigned to fly a particular mission.  After he was
airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had
forgotten to top off his fuel tank.  Because of this, he would not have
enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship.  His flight
leader told him to leave formation and return.  As he was returning to
the mother ship, he could see a squadron of Japanese Zeroes heading toward
the fleet to attack.  With all the fighter planes gone, the fleet was almost
defenseless.  His was the only opportunity to distract and divert them.

   Single-handedly, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes and
attacked them. The American fighter planes were rigged with cameras, so
that as they flew and fought, pictures were taken so pilots could learn more
about the terrain, enemy maneuvers, etc.  Butch dove at them and shot until
all his ammunition was gone, then he would dive and try to clip off a wing or
tail or anything that would make the enemy planes unfit to fly.  He did
anything he could to keep them from reaching the American ships.

   Finally, the Japanese squadron took off in another direction, and Butch
O'Hare and his fighter, both badly shot up, limped back to the carrier.
He told his story, but not until the film from the camera on his plane was
developed, did they realize the extent he really went to, to protect his
fleet.  He was recognized as a hero and given one of the nations highest
military honors. O'Hare Airport was also named after him.

   Prior to this time in Chicago, there was a man named Easy Eddie.  He was
working for a man you've all heard about, Al Capone.  Al Capone wasn't
famous for anything heroic, but he was notorious for the murders he'd
committed and the illegal things he'd done.  Easy Eddie was Al Capone's
lawyer and he was very good.  In fact, because of his skill, he was able to
keep Al Capone out of jail.

   To show his appreciation, Al Capone paid him very well.  He not
only earned big money, he would get extra things, like a residence that
filled an entire Chicago city block.  The house was fenced, and he had
live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day.

   Easy Eddie had a son.  He loved his son and gave him all the best things
while he was growing up; clothes, cars, and a good education.  And
because he loved his son he tried to teach him right from wrong.  But one
thing he couldn't give his son was a good name, and a good example.

   Easy Eddie decided that this was much more important than all the riches
he had been given.  So, he went to the authorities in order to right the
wrong he had done.  In order to tell the truth, it meant he must testify
against Al Capone, and he knew that Al Capone would do his best to have him
killed.  But he wanted most of all to try to be a good example and to do the
best he could to give back to his son, a good name.  So he testified. Within
the year, he was shot and killed on a lonely street in Chicago.

   This sounds like two unrelated stories.

   But Butch O'Hare was Easy Eddie's son.

FIRE FROM THE SKY

by "One Who Knows"

PART 29:

If you doubt the fact that the Nazis never gave up and that they planned to
continue the war after their defeat in Germany, and planned to make a
comeback to finally achieve their goal, then perhaps you should read the
following books:

Connell, Brian, *A Watcher On The Rhine,* William Morrow  Co., New York,
1957. "Old wine in new bottles," how the Nazis have come back into power.

Horne, Alistair, *Return To Power,* Fredrick A. Praeger, Inc., New York,
1956. "The struggle for unification, rather than any revival of Nazism, may
one day force Germany out of the Western camp."

Tetens, T.H., *The New Germany And The Old Nazis,* Random House, New York,
1961. "A frank and often shocking account which details how 'Hitler's own'
have managed to return to power in almost every walk of German life..."

Winkler, Paul, *The Thousand-Year Conspiracy,* Charles Scribner's Sons,
1943. "Secret Germany behind the mask."

White, Theodore H., *Fire In The Ashes,* William Sloane Associates, New
York, 1953. The fire of Nazism in the ashes of Europe.

Sayers, Michael and Kahn, Albert E., *The Plot Against The Peace,* Book
Find Club, New York, 1945. "...uncovers Nazi Germany's secret plans for a
Third World War."

Schultz, Sigrid, *Germany Will Try It Again,* Reynal  Hitchcock, New York,
1944. Does the title give you a clue?

Dornberg, John, *Schizophrenic Germany,* MacMillan Company, New York, 1961.
"Is the new West Germany of the postwar years as democratic as we have been
led to believe, or does Nazism still smolder?"

Lord Russell, Brigadier, of Liverpool, C.B.E., M.C., *Return of the
Swastika?" David McKay Co., New York, 1969. Russell was part of the
Nuremberg prosecution team.

There are more, these just happen to be the ones in my personal library. I
read them, mostly about 20 or 30 years ago. I do not mean to give the
impression that Germany is the source of the world's problems; Germany has
simply been a part of a much bigger picture. Other valuable books that will
give you insight are:

Bacque, James, *Other Losses,* Stoddart Publishing Co., Canada, 1989. The
truth about how Eisenhower murdered thousands of German prisoners of war
AFTER the surrender. Many of those starving soldiers and piles of dead
bodies you have seen in atrocity photos were NOT Jews, they were Germans.
Don't argue with me, read the book. General George Patton wrote in 1945
that Eisenhower was using "practically Gestapo methods" in torturing and
killing German POWs. You can obtain the book probably from *Spotlight*
Newspaper if you can't find it otherwise.

Sutton, Anthony C., *Wall Street And The Rise Of Hitler, '76 Press, Seal
Beach, Calif., 1976.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

Albert Einstein is a good example of another deception and hoax involved
with the atomic bomb program. When many people think of the atomic bomb
they think of Einstein. He was presented as the world's greatest scientist,
and a hero of the atomic bomb program. Upon closer inspection, you will
find that his major contributions were his use of his influence to obtain
President Roosevelt's support for the bomb and he was the one personally
responsible for bringing the major Communist atomic spy Klaus Fuchs into
the Program. The Russians know nothing about the atomic bomb until Fuchs
brought it to their attention in 1942. (*Heisenberg's War,* p. 524).

Thanks to Fuchs, (and to a massive amount of Secret material illegally
shipped through Lend-Lease) they were able to explode their own bomb in
1949. Einstein was a communist cell member with Fuchs. Fuchs was the top
scientist on the Manhattan Project and he gave the atomic secrets to the
Soviets. (Jordan, George Recey, *From Major Jordan's Diaries,* Harcourt,
Brace and Co., New York, 1952.)

We are taught that Einstein is the author of the Theory of Relativity, yet
evidence has come for the proving that the real author was Mileva Maric,
Einstein's first wife.

Einstein had a reputation at the Swiss Polytechnic Institute in Zurich of
being a man with poor work habits and was often reprimanded for laziness
during all his school years, including the University. He developed a
romance with classmate Mileva who helped him with his math. His
autobiography says "In my work participated a Serbian student Mileva Maric
who I married later." She had an illegitimate daughter in 1902, which they
gave up for adoption. They got married in 1903, separated in 1912 and
divorced in 1919. This is when Einstein married his cousin Elsa. The
original manuscript of the *The Theory of Relativity* submitted for
publication had Maric's name on it as co-author.

For more proof, see the article "Theory of Relativity - Who is its Real
Author?" by Dr. Rastko Maglic and J. W. McGinnis, President, International

love letters from Lucy to FDR. Eleanor later admitted, " the bottom

his wicker chair in the main stateroom holding her in his sun-browned
arms...He made no attempt to conceal his feelings about Missy." FDR left
Missy half of his 3 million dollar estate. Note: before FDR got polio,
he was widely known as a womanizer and playboy.

FDR  his floozy cousin Margaret Suckley. As early as 1920 she was
misidentified as his wife in a newspaper photograph of them at a ball

Hick close; Hick despaired at being away from Eleanor; Eleanor wished
she could lie down beside Hick and take her in her arms." (Goodwin

I look at it and think she does love me, or I wouldn't be wearing it."

Eleanor and the much younger Joseph Lash- in a very funny scene,
military intelligence bugged Eleanor's room in the Chicago Blackstone

the hotel, FDR disbanded the unit. He also read Joe's intercepted love

bodyguard.




FDR's DISREGARD FOR LAW

•FDR was born January 30, 1882.
•FDR was a mediocre and unpopular student at Groton and Harvard.
•FDR became a failed lawyer (without a degree) in 1907, which explains
his morals.
•1910-1913 - NY State Senator. He told Rosenman in 1928 about his time
as Senator: "I remember they used to call us socialists and radicals in
those days."
•1913-1920 - Assistant Secretary of Navy (he later bragged that during
WWI he had "thrown money around like water"). FDR played the most sordid
sort of ward politics with Navy contracts.
•VP candidate in 1920.
•THE BUTCHER OF HAITI - In July 1915 FDR, as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, personally led US Marines into Haiti to overturn the only
independent black republic besides Abyssinia. By all accounts, FDR
administered Haiti brutally and cruelly with no regard for lives. Even
in 1920 after gross atrocities were reported in the media, FDR claimed
responsibility but when that caused an uproar, he denied responsibility.
In the campaign of 1920 President Harding said this: "Practically all we
know is that thousands of native Haitians have been killed by American
Marines, and that many of our own gallant men have sacrificed their
lives at the behest of an Executive department in order to establish
laws drafted by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy...I will not empower
an Assistant Secretary of the Navy to draft a constitution for helpless
neighbors in the West Indies and jam it down their throats at the point
of bayonets borne by US Marines."
•SELF-CONFESSED FELON - 1 February 1920 before an audience of 1500 at
the Brooklyn Academy of Music, FDR said, "Two months after the war was
declared, I saw that the Navy was still unprepared and I spent $40,000
for guns before Congress gave me or anyone permission to spend the
 money." This action had been opposed by the President. FDR further

War in The Balkans - CIA takes blame for targeting wrong site

By Mary Dejevsky in Washington

As Nato and US officials were forced into a second day of apologies,
the US identified faulty CIA intelligence as the source of the mistake
that led to the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, the
costliest single error of the operation in terms of alliance strategy.

In an unusual late-night statement, the US Secretary of Defense,
William Cohen, and director of the CIA, George Tenet, said the mistake
occurred at the planning stage and went unnoticed through subsequent
checks. Four laser-guided bombs hit the embassy late on Friday after
it was identified as a weapons supply and procurement centre. "Those
involved in targeting mistakenly believed the Federal Directorate of
Supply and Procurement was at the location that was hit," the
statement said after an apologetic preamble.

"It was the result of neither pilot nor mechanical error . faulty
information led to a mistake in the initial targeting . In addition,
the extensive process in place used to select and validate targets did
not correct this original error." The statement concluded: "A review
of our procedures has convinced us this was an anomaly that is
unlikely to occur again. Therefore Nato authorities intend to continue
and intensify the air campaign."

Official determination that the fault lay in the initial targeting was
an attempt to quash other theories, from pilot error to Serbian
trickery. While the Nato spokesman, Jamie Shea, indicated that the
Cohen-Tenet statement would probably be the most detailed explanation
made public, it left many questions unanswered.

It did not elucidate, for instance, when in the intelligence process
the mistake was made. One theory was that information on the location
of the weapons supply centre could have been culled from outdated
maps. The Chinese embassy building is less than five years old and the
new quarter of Belgrade has been developed in the past decade.

As Nato officials stressed, conventional maps are not the only source
of information, and are augmented by satellite reconnaissance and
information from the ground. One of the constituent pieces of
information - the map reference or identification of the building or
the site - was incorrect: and the CIA is not saying which. As one
official also noted, targeting concentrates on identifying buildings,
not ruling them out. Any list of "undesirable" targets could have
included the embassy and found its position coincided with that
established for the supply department, but this would not have been
done.

Reports from Belgrade said the Yugoslav supply department was never at
the Chinese embassy site. According to one theory, the CIA might have
had information that the site contained a weapons bunker - but not
that an embassy had been built on top.

Another report, in a Turkish paper, suggested Serbian intelligence
moved equipment into the embassy to receive information from China
that would help in the defence of Belgrade against the US - and that
Nato had set out deliberately to destroy that potential link, whatever
the diplomatic cost. There were denials of this, including from China.

The CIA admission that the building was misidentified at a relatively
early stage appears to exclude one theory: that Serbian intelligence
might have tricked Nato into a raid that would have untold diplomatic
fall-out because of China's opposition to the war and the veto it
wields as a permanent member of the UN Security Council. When Nato
appeared to be moving towards accepting a UN role in a settlement,
alienating the most hostile member of the Security Council would
damage Nato's own interests above all.

Serbian intelligence - or disinformation - has been broached as a
possible cause of one costly Nato error: the bombing of at least one,
and possibly two, refugee convoys near the Macedonian border four
weeks ago. The favoured explanation is that Nato pilots, flying high
to evade Yugoslav fire, misidentified the convoy. A small detail from
the official account of what went wrong, however, indicated that the
main attack was triggered by an intelligence report passed to the lead
pilot from the Aviano air base that positively identified the convoy
as military in nature.

One theory, not expressly denied by Nato, is that this information
could have come from an informant on the ground to trick pilots into a

Demolishing Conspiracy Bromides

by Robert W. Lee
In spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, many intelligent
people continue to insist that the downward spiral of America and
Western society into anarchy and the concomitant growing threat of
statist world government are the natural results of the normal cycles of
history. They argue, against a steady accretion of facts of already
mountainous proportions, that the forces propelling us into chaos and
tyranny are not at all attributable to “deliberate direction” by any
malevolent conspiracy.

Here are some examples of the most common, and increasingly implausible,
objections to what should properly be termed the conspiratorial fact of
history:


The conspiracy premise is too simplistic.

The issue is neither simplicity nor complexity, but accuracy. But, for
the sake of addressing this common and simplistic dismissal, let’s
examine the issue of simplicity.
Occam’s razor is a well-established test for reaching a conclusion based
on limited information. It is named for the prominent 14th century
philosopher William of Occam. Formally termed the “principle of
parsimony,” it suggests that the least complicated explanation for a
phenomenon that fits the known facts is most likely to be the correct
one. Responsible advocates of the conspiracy scenario contend that the
least complicated and most believable explanation for many of the
destructive trends in politics, economics, morality, and other key areas
over the past two centuries is that a secretive, incredibly amoral,
well-organized movement has been striving relentlessly to make it
happen.

It is important to note, however, that this Master Conspiracy has not
been responsible for all of our woes. The inherent faults of even the
best of men and women are sufficient to assure an abundance of problems
had the Master Conspiracy never existed. But the Insiders of the
Conspiracy have indeed become masters at taking advantage of such human
fallibility to make conditions far worse than could ever have been the
case without their diabolic efforts.


A Master Conspiracy could never survive from one generation to the next
without coming apart or being fully exposed.

Au contraire. The cult of the Thugs was an immense criminal conspiracy
plaguing the whole of India for centuries, with its murderous adepts
secretly placed in the highest echelons of politics, the military,
banking, commerce, and religion. The British were involved there for
over 200 years without even being aware of the existence of this satanic
sect. When a brilliant young army officer, William Sleeman, discovered
the horrible truth and tried to expose the ruthless cabal, he was met
with disbelief and ridicule. Undeterred, he continued to gather evidence
until, eventually, the proof of his assertions was so overwhelming that
his superiors were forced to believe.
Captain Sleeman was given the resources needed to systematically
investigate, expose, and prosecute the Thugs, which he did with
unswerving determination. Thousands of Thugs, including their
acknowledged leaders, were tracked down, tried, convicted, and imp
risoned or executed. Thus was India finally freed from one of the most
diabolical and persistent conspiracies ever to afflict the human race.

Unfortunately, there are all too many other examples of large-scale,
long-lasting transgenerational conspiracies. The Mafia, for instance,
managed to evade public exposure for generations. And even since
becoming publicly known, and in spite of concerted efforts to infiltrate
and prosecute it, it has resisted eradication.


If, as claimed, the Master Conspiracy is comprised of only a minuscule
fraction of the world’s population, how could it be so all-encompassing
and influential?

An examination of successful, large-scale conspiracies throughout
history clearly reveals that a relatively tiny fraction of the populace
acting in concert can indeed attain incredible power and influence. Far
more important than the number of individuals involved in any conspiracy
is the strategic placement of those conspirators. To the Mafia or the
Cali drug cartel, for instance, the control of a single judge,
prosecutor, customs agent, police captain, or newspaper editor — whether
through bribery, extortion, blackmail, or actual infiltration of one of
its own members into the position — is far more important than a hundred
drug traffickers or other low-level operatives.
Likewise, the Communist Conspiracy over the past 150 years has
demonstrated time after time the ability to exercise enormous influence
through the leveraged power of its strategically placed members. As an
underground revolutionary movement in the last century, it was able to
coordinate nearly simultaneous revolutions throughout the

Albanians Try to Take Over Kosovars' Crime Network
War leaves drug, arms traffic up for grabs
Frank Viviano, Chronicle Staff Writer
Tuesday, May 11, 1999
©1999 San Francisco Chronicle

bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1999/05/11/MN20212.DTL



In the shadows of the war in Kosovo, a ferocious upheaval is
reshaping the criminal landscape of Europe.

As NATO bombs and Serbian troops disrupt a Kosovar crime network
that has dominated the narcotics trade across the continent,
underworld clans from neighboring Albania are making a powerful
bid to take over.

They are the real government of Europe's poorest -- and most
lawless -- nation, and by some estimates even more dangerous to
the Allied campaign than the tanks and anti-aircraft systems of
Yugoslavia.

``Albania has become the leading country in a wide variety of
trafficking, in clandestine immigration, in prostitution. It
ranks as a top exporter of narcotics,'' the nation's own former
president, Sali Berisha, charged in a January speech accusing
his successors of corruption and links to criminal syndicates.

``Until recently, our heroin abusers got their supplies from
Kosovars based in Zurich,'' Chief Jean-Bernard Lagger of the
Geneva police brigade told investigators from Geopolitical Drug
Watch (OGD), Europe's most respected narcotics surveillance
organization. ``But now, Albanian traffickers have moved into
Geneva to deliver drugs to their doorstep.''

Police officials say that the clans, known as ``fares'' in
Albanian, have even begun contesting turf with South American
cartels in the European cocaine market.

``The criminal mentality in certain fares existed before the
war, but it was relatively small-time,'' says Michel Koutouzis,
senior researcher at OGD and Europe's leading expert on
organized crime in the Balkans. ``What the Kosovo crisis and the
war have done is to elevate that mentality enormously, to push
it to a much higher level.''

The clans have embraced what police officials call the
``Sicilian model'' of criminal organization. Put simply, this
model works on the consolidation of a firm power base at home,
with deadly influence on the political structure, from which
domestic crime syndicates gradually build international
operations.

By the time NATO and hundreds of thousands of Kosovar refugees
arrived in Albania two months ago, the consolidation was well
under way. ``Whole districts and towns are actually under the
utter control of the gangs,'' former president Berisha says.

In the countryside surrounding the cities of Vlore and Durres,
according to the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur and other
European periodicals, refugee convoys from the war zone have
been held up by armed bands in the past two weeks, with young
Kosovar women singled out and abducted.

Elsewhere in the country, humanitarian workers and journalists
from many Western news services report highly organized war
profiteering -- including the diversion of aid shipments into
the black market, bribery demands by customs agents processing
the shipments in Albanian ports, and gang-run ``taxi firms''
charging as much as $120 to transport exhausted refugee families
less than eight miles from the Kosovo border to the Albanian
town of Kukes. The normal fee is $4.

An unheated room for aid workers in Kukes today rents for $300
per night, in ramshackle houses that sold outright for less than
$1,000 before the NATO bombings began.

``It's like the Klondike during the Gold Rush,'' Albanian
journalist Frrok Cupi told the Swiss weekly Die Weltwoche,
describing the profits being reaped from foreign military and
humanitarian operations.

Men claiming to be sales agents for the national
telecommunications company have asked as much as $3,000 for the
computer card necessary to connect a cellular phone with the
satellite network.

``We should know from experience -- from places like Rwanda and
Somalia and Bosnia -- that humanitarian agencies must deal with
the local mafias in a war zone,'' says Koutouzis. ``There is no
other way to get to the victims.''

Those who try to sidestep the clan syndicates do so at their own
peril, in a land where the number of illegally owned Kalashnikov
automatic assault weapons in some cities is greater than the
number of residents.

On April 30, the Associated Press reported that ``almost every journalist'' who has 
gone to the refugee camp at Bajram Curri in northern Albania has been robbed, 
including a team from the Associated Press. The Organizatio
n of Security and Cooperation in Europe, which oversees the camp, has had two of its 
official vehicles hijacked by armed men.

The U.S. Army's Task Force Hawk installation at the Tirana airport, outside the 
Albanian capital, ranks ``crime'' ahead of ``Yugoslav forces'' among the main threats 
to American troops in Albania.

Locked inside a hermit country for half a century while the eccentric pseudo-Marxist

  # GM pollen warning to organic farmers. (BBC) A UK gov't report
  will say that pollen from genetically-modified crops can spread
  much further than thought, that some contamination of organic
  crops by GM plants is inevitable.
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_341000/341818.stm

 Chevy workers are notorious for their "pollination" behaviors!
 Particularly the three to eleven shift.  You do NOT want to be
 in a bar within a three-block radius of a GM plant anytime be-
 tween the hours of 11:15 pm and 4:15 a.m.  Pollination and
 subsequent contamination of ovum are an inevitable consequence.

There hasn't been enough research in automotive botany to determine
the precise consequences of such pollination, whether within strict
GM environments, or in the wider range of Saturn, Toyota-GM and
similar hybrids.  [I never go *near* Fremont at shift change, and
always carry sterilization gear when I'm in the vicinity.]  Not
enough is known; can we get a grant?

  Right! Like you gun loonies are really going to stop tanks with your
  9mms
  and your shotguns.

 During the Hungarian revolution many Russian tanks were taken out with
 "Molotov cocktails". Tanks are not necessarily unstoppable. Also, TOW
 missiles might become readily available if a civil war were to erupt.

Oh Howard you pick such unfortunate examples. The Soviets made short
shrift of the Hungarian Revolution.

 However, as I am sure you realize, a well armed citizenry would be
 impossible to stop even if the opposition had help from outside forces
 (as they probably would).

This is wishful thinking. It bears no resemblance to reality. The US
Government is the most powerful entity in all of history.

 Your scenario of revolution becoming an
 inevitable outcome of the concentration of wealth is true. However, you
 keep calling this "capitalism". Free market capitalism does not lead to
 a concentration of wealth. It is only when capitalists are able to
 control the government and use its powers to limit competition that
 great concentrations of wealth are really possible.

Please stop. This is the natural evolution of money/power in ANY system.
This is Capitalism even if it is not by your ideal definition. This is it.
This is what it does. It's no secret.

 Read some of the
 other articles that have appeared on this list about the Mellon family
 or the Roosevelt family and you will see that their great wealth was
 derived in large measure through the power of government. These efforts
 to amass great wealth were empowered by the creation of laws to the
 benefit of these elite.

This behavior is due to the natural human tendency towards Elitism which
is nothing more than an human extension of anthropoid hierarchy.
Capitalism is the system invented by and for elites with excess capital.
Money gets power and power gets money. Both together keep the elites in
charge.

 This is not a result of the liberty I and others
 you so often demean advocate, but rather is a result of the growth in
 government powers which you certainly do not seem to deplore.

Your concept of Liberty is like your concept of Capitalism.

 If this is
 to lead to a revolution, as you seem to believe, why do you want the
 people to be disarmed while the government (which you know is under the
 control of the elite you seem to deplore) is so well armed?

It's a question of priority. Revolution is theoretical. Gun violence is
immediate.


  Who the hell do you think you are impressing? No
  one
  takes you clowns seriously except your own delusional selves.

 So I am a clown and delusional? Please try to control yourself when
 addressing me.

I apologize. I am speaking to you as representative rather than you
as Howard the individual. You ( all ) are not taken seriously by anyone
but each other and the politicians who represent some of you. I say this
not as much to put you down, as to make you understand that you don't
have John Q. Citizen on you side and you are loosing more fence sitters
every day.

Today, that awful establishment twat Elizabeth Dole came out
for restrictions on guns. She didn't do this for the hell of it. Her
pollsters see enough people on the right changing their attitudes about
the availability of guns. She is also setting a line of demarcation between
her and Baby Bush. This will be the " hot button issue " to turn out the
Republican vote. I hope she looses because I just can't stand her accent.
But the point really is the direction of the gun issue in politics.

The NRA
line of no give has brought you gun nuts to this. The NRA doesn't care
about you or rights. They are the political action arm of the US gun
manufacturers and they use the Second Amendment and suckers like you to
keep pushing their over saturation of their domestic market. You want to
get yourself killed for the gun manufacturers? If so, your are a fine

 If you think you can avert violence by not being ready to counter it, you
 are a fool. Violence is part of life; it is NOT going away just because
 some people wish it to. Violence has been part of life since the first
 aomeba ate the first protazoa; get used to it.

I may be more used to it than you. I grew up and worked in the
toughest

 Violence is not evil.
 Violence is not good. Violence just is.

Not at all. Violence is failure. The only justification for violence
is
self defense. Real self defense not your paranoid fantasies of a
future
that may or may not happen.

 To equate the knee to a rapists
 crotch with the sap in a mugger's hand is an infantile thought process.
 That's kidthink. Grow up. Violence is like weather. Sometimes it's sunny.
 Sometimes it rains. When it rains do we hide in the house? No, we carry an
 umbrella and go on about our life.

This is idiotic. Get yourself together.


 How many more people will kill each other with guns just so you can feel
 ideologically correct? 1000? 10,000? How many?

 And how many unarmed women will be raped so YOU can feel ideologically
 correct? How many frail elders will be murdered in their beds? For that
 matter, how many high school kids will die like the kids at Littleton
 died, waiting in vain while four, count 'em, FOUR SWATs hid outside behind
 armored trucks, waiting for the the perps to kill themselves and then
 waiting two and a half hours MORE before they dared to  poke their
 cowardly pig snouts in the door?

Those kids should NOT have been able to get guns. Then it is
irrelevant
that the police are useless.


 911 is a joke. When trouble strikes, ready or not, we're on our own. Ready
 is better.

Agreed.


 I'm not threatening revolution. I am saying that the natural outcome of
 Capitalism is concentration of wealth. The natural outcome of the
 concentration of wealth is poverty for most people. The natural outcome of
 poverty is social disintegration. The natural outcome of social
 disintegration

 while you were at it did you find any more filth on the good name of

No, I wouldn't say so. In fact, the more I read about both Edison and
Tesla the more respect I have for both, while realizing more acutely
their human foibles. If you are truly interested in understanding their
relationship, I would advise reading the recent Tesla biography by
Seifer (Wizard : The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla: Biography of a
Genius (Citadel Press Book) -- Marc J. Seifer; Paperback).

Here are some reviews from Amazon.com:

Reviews
 From Booklist , November 15, 1996
 What kind of genius can fathom the mysteries of
 electromagnetism but cannot keep corporate lawyers from
 taking him to the cleaners? Perhaps because his
life did not
 culminate in wealth and acclaim, Nikola Tesla has largely
 slipped from the national memory. Seifer's biography
 rescues him from oblivion, bringing back to life the
 amazingly creative intellect that gave us fluorescent
 lighting, wireless communication, cheap electrical power,
 and the remote control. But Seifer also resurrects the
 wounded, self-destructive personality who never
 recovered from the loss of a favored older brother and
 who spiraled into weird obsessions, mental
collapse, and
 poverty as he watched other men use his inventions
to win
 fame and riches. Seifer does an admirable job of explaining
 his subject's technical feats and analyzing his psychological
 idiosyncrasies. Tinged with pathos, this meticulously
 researched biography deserves attention from all who
 would understand the human tragedies played out in the
 shadows of our neon culture. Notes, appendix, and
 bibliography. Bryce Christensen

He was
 perhaps the most infuential scientist of our
century.

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] from Saratoga Springs, New
 York , February 3, 1999
 Fabulous book on the genious of N. Tesla, a MUST
 READ
 I read the 1998 softcover edition and LOVED IT! I
first saw
 the name "TESLA" as a "brand" name on the
television sets
 in eastern Europe. My curiosity up, I searched
 Amazon.com and found this book. I became a TESLA fan
 immediately! TESLA had the greatest inventive
genius of
 the 20th century, and most of his key patents were
filed in
 the 1890's !! HE WAS SO FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME that
 some of his work is still labeled "TOP SECRET" by
the U.S.
 government today. This book is a lesson in history,
 conspiracy, industrial espionage, science,
corporate power
 and the sheer awesome genius of TESLA, whose name
 SHOULD be taught to every school childbefore
that of
 EDISON !!!

 A reader from Lisbon, Portugal , December 21, 1998

 The best Tesla Biography to date
 This book is without a shadow of doubt the BEST
book on
 Tesla ever written. If you're looking for
non-technical Tesla
 information, this is the book to buy!

 A reader from New York, NY , November 11, 1998

 Tesla is a valuable target of study
 I really got a lot out of Seifer's book. The detail is
 excrutiating. The book flows as Tesla's life did,
and it truly
 gives powerful insight.

 Really? I remember the study, unless there was more than one, in which
 pink was actually found to have a calming influence over time; especially
 in regards to prison populations. I'm not sure there were ever any
 experimental replications. Could be wrong on both accounts.


I also remember the study. I believe that the color pink was used in the
holding cell of a jail. This was an area where prisoners were kept when
they first were brought in while waiting to be processed. It was
observed that in most cases the prisoners were much less violent after a
short period in this particular cell. However, I believe I remember that
one prisoner was held there for several hours inadvertently (supposedly)
and was so effected by the color that he was trying to scrape the paint
off the walls.

My understanding of color would be that the red side of the spectrum is
stimulating and the blue side relaxing. However, it could be that the
color pink had just a small amount of the stimulation effect and acted
as a sedative in the same way that a small amount of drug stimulants
such as Ritalin can cause relaxation in people who are stressed. Long
exposure would cause one to cycle back into stimulation.

Hi Andrew

The vast majority of christians will not go near this book, so how can they
be "misled"? The Urantia book EXPOSES the puppet masters behind the NWO and
the NSA.  You are way off base with your implant theory.  Don't confuse the

[CTRL] [2] MELLOW APATHY FLUORIDE PAPER

/A
--[2]--
DELIBERATE LONG-TERM FLUORIDE OVERDOSE OF ALASKAN SCHOOL CHILDREN:
Keeping Dr. Taylor's findings and his above heartfelt plea in mind, how
can the following be justified by any sane scientist:
According to the U.S. Department of Health  Human Services publication
"FLUORIDATION CENSUS 1985", which lists the current fluoridation levels
of every fluoridated area in the United States, for the entire year of
1985 the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) deliberately
over-fluoridated four Alaskan village schools at the rate of FIVE PARTS
PER MILLION, instead of at the currently approved rate of 1 PPM. The
schools were Unalaska, St. Michael, Shishmaref, and Stebbins. Why were
these unsuspecting people being thus experimented upon? How can five
parts-per-million (a whopping 20 milligrams per gallon of water) be
justified? Whatever the excuse, such covert slow genocide should be
actionable in a court of law. That was just the 1985 record; previous
years haven't yet been checked. (A subjective first-hand eyewitness
observation, by this author, of the people living in Stebbins and St.
Michael in 1995 gave a definite impression of a tragic spiritual
wasteland; something seemed very out-of-place with those people, almost
like looking into the haunted faces of prisoners in German death camps
in World War II. Go see for yourself.)
The EPA lists fluoride as a "contaminant." The above intentional
long-term 5 PPM overdose of innocent native schoolchildren occurred when
the EPA's "Maximum Contaminant Level" (MCL) allowable for fluoride was
just 2.4 parts per million.
In the early 1990's there was talk of having the EPA reduce the MCL of
fluoride down to .4 PPM, due to recent studies that had connected
fluoride with cancer.
A challenge: Have some autonomous toxicologists with no special-interest
axe to grind, do an honest, unbiased and thorough long-term scientific
study of the residents of the above Alaskan towns. Also include a study
of the residents of Hooper Bay, Alaska, where in May of 1992 a fluoride
overdose severely poisoned 290 residents and killed Dominic Smith.
(Since thirst is one of the fluoride overdose symptoms, Dominic just
kept drinking water until he poisoned himself.) Study what has happened
to the above people since fluoride became part of their lives and
include their physical, dental and mental histories as part of the
study. Dental health is, after all, why this entire situation began.
If fluoridation was doing its job as advertised, then the dental health
of Alaskan natives would be quite acceptable, but that's just the
opposite of the way it really is. Note this 12/17/90 article in the
Ketchikan Daily News: "NORTH SLOPE DENTAL HEALTH CALLED WORST IN
U.S. Examiners reported finding active cavities among Native children
aged 3 through 5 at three times the national average. Nearly
three-fourths of the 62 native elders aged 65 or older had no teeth at
all, the dental examiners said. ... The study population represented 38
percent of the total number of Alaskan Natives in the North Slope
Borough." Examiners said 40 percent of elementary students had cavities,
and 70 percent had cavities by the time they reached high school.
In spite of the above poor record, in 1991 the Director of the Alaska
Health and Social Services publicly stated, ". . . fluoride has
substantially improved the dental health of Alaska Native Children."
What's wrong with this picture?
It's well-known that Alaskan natives today have almost the worst dental
health in the country, in spite of having been subjected to fluoridated
water for 40 years. (Incidentally, they practically live on candy bars
and soda pop.)
--Which leads us to ask, just exactly what causes dental cavities? On
the average, each American consumes 20-50 teaspoons of refined sugar
each day. Using 40 teaspoons as an average, multiplying 40 teaspoons
times approx. 250,000,000 people totals 10 billion teaspoons of sugar
sold EACH DAY, just in the United States alone. That's very big
business.
ADA AND U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ASSERTION: "GOD IS STUPID"
Vested interests who sell fluoride and pharmaceuticals, or who repair
the damage, would have you believe that God screwed up so badly in
engineering man's teeth that ALL of mankind is now born with a permanent
deficiency of fluoride, and thus mass medication--with a nerve agent--is
the most cost effective way to correct God's stupid error. However, the
facts state differently. Regarding dental cavities, refined sugar and
soda pop are two of the top contenders, whereas a sweeping
lifetime-deficiency of rat poison and nerve agents in our bodies is one
of the biggest, most blatant lies in all history.
Each year it's easy to find a school district science fair whereby a
smart kid makes an experimental study

"TELL A LIE LOUD ENOUGH AND LONG ENOUGH AND PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IT."
--Adolph Hitler.



"FLUORIDE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN THE PREVENTION OF TOOTH DECAY, AND NO
FURTHER STUDIES OF ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH ARE NECESSARY." (Official
Dentist's Fluoridation PR booklet)


"The plain fact that fluorine is an insidious poison, harmful, toxic and
cumulative in its effects, even when ingested in minimal amounts, will
remain unchanged no matter how many times it will be repeated in print
that fluoridation of the water supply is 'safe'." Ludwig Gross, M.D.,
former Chief of Veterans Administration Cancer Research, Bronx, NY.
For the past 50 years the US public has been very convincingly persuaded
to ignore the fluoride issue, but the serious facts about this issue
keep repeating, and the situation appears to be degrading.
The growing widespread concern over public apathy, rising health
concerns, and the apparent stupidity of our school children keeps
mounting. This fluoride issue is offered as one of several possible
important answers to that problem.
THE HALOGENS:
The Halogen family consists of five chemical elements: Fluorine,
Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. (Chlorine and Fluorine are chief
ingredients of the CFC's, that are causing the current controversy with
the ozone holes.)
Depending upon use and dosage, the Halogens have a varying effect on the
human mind, nervous system and metabolism. For example one of the most
popular current hospital anesthetics, "Halothane", contains Fluorine,
Chlorine, and Bromine.
BROMINE
--The Australians reportedly issued Bromide tea to their soldiers in
World War II, to decrease their sex urge and thus lower the incidence of
VD.
--Per a recent Internet search, investigators looking into the Gulf War
Syndrome found that all 695,000 troops in the Persian Gulf War were
involuntarily administered the unproven, experimental toxicity-enhancer,
Pyridostigmine Bromide (PB) supposedly as a nerve agent pre-treatment
medication. Officials estimated that approximately two-thirds of those
troops took the drug for varying periods of time. However, DoD
scientists who studied Pyridostigmine and nerve agent Sarin concluded
that PB should only be used when the threat is nerve agent Soman;
Pyridostigmine pre-treatment unfortunately makes individuals MORE
vulnerable to Sarin. Defense intelligence knew before the war that Iraq
did not manufacture, stockpile, or use Soman; just one Iraqi chemical
plant was estimated to produce up to TWO TONS of Sarin per day, however.
CHLORINE
--Chlorine Gas and chlorine-bearing Mustard gas were feared in Europe in
World War I, and they are still currently in the chemical-warfare
arsenal of many countries. Chlorine gas was reportedly released in Iraq
during the Gulf War.
--Chlorine is widely added to U.S. drinking water today for the sole
purpose of killing something, while natural water oxygenation treatments
as used in Europe are much more safe for human consumption.
FLUORINE
--Fluorine is the most highly-reactive and chemically unstable of ALL
existing chemical elements. Fluorine is not found by itself in nature,
because it is so unstable that it chemically combines--violently, in
many cases--with practically any other element.
--Fluorine has the strongest effect of all the halogens. Fluorine is one
of the major ingredients in the controversial psycho-active psychiatric
drug PROZAC (Fluoxetene Hydrochloride), and also in deadly Sarin
military nerve gas, U.S. designation GB. (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl
Fluoride).
--While one lethal dose of Sarin would fit on the head of a pin, the
U.S. arsenal stockpiles literally billions of lethal doses. In just two
examples, 10 million pounds of sarin are stored in weapons at the
Tooele, Utah Army Depot, and another 550,000 pounds are in the Blue
Grass Army Depot near Richmond, Kentucky. (Page A4, Anchorage Daily
News, Tuesday, 23 January 96.) Other countries--especially Russia--also
have comparable stockpiles of nerve agents, if not more. Chemical
Warfare (CW) research and manufacture is ongoing.
--The nerve-gas Soman (GD) is chemically similar to Sarin (GB), and they
both contain fluorine. They are called "nerve" agents because they
directly attack and destroy the nervous system. According to an EPA
report (following), once you remove the fluorine from Sarin, all that
remains is a non-toxic acid. In other words, fluorine--the same fluorine
that is in our drinking water--is what gives sarin its "kick".
--The U.S. was openly selling nerve gas ingredients to Iraq as late as
1984, until the

1. Yeltsin Sacks Primakov on Eve of Duma's Impeachment Proceedings

MOSCOW, May 12 - Russian president, Boris Yeltsin, sacked today his third
prime minister in less than 14 months on the eve of his impeachment trial
which starts tomorrow in the Duma, the Russian lower house.  Yeltsin
dismissed an increasingly more popular Yevgeniy Primakov in the same
capricious manner which had marked his previous prime ministerial sackings
- of Viktor Chernomyrdin in April of 1998, and of Sergei Kiriyenko last
summer.

And the Russian president appointed Sergei Stepashin, minister of the
interior, believed to be a Yeltsin loyalist, as acting prime minister,
pending his confirmation by the Duma, which is not expected to vote on the
matter until May 19.

The moves throw Russia into another political turmoil just as the country
is struggling to redefine itself as a world power, through its mediation in
the Balkans, and its warming relations with China.  And the appointment of
the minister of the interior as prime minister is a clear indication that
Yeltsin may be worried about a creeping coup against him.  For, the move is
bound to alarm the increasingly powerful regional governors who have been
seeing the Ministry of the Interior as a bastion of Moscow's central power.

Furthermore, the appointment of a loyalist, like Stepashin, may also have
personal implications for Yeltsin, TiM's expert sources on Russia say.
For, Yeltsin and his family members have been under a relatively low-key
investigation for allegedly embezzling some state assets, and transferring
them into some western bank accounts.

Yeltsin's seat is bound to get hotter by the weekend, when the Duma is
expected to conclude its three-day trial and vote on his impeachment on
Saturday (May 15).  If Yeltsin is impeached by a two-third majority vote,
something which our sources consider possible, if not likely, he will no
longer be able to use his biggest presidential stick - the threat of a
dissolution of the Duma, which he used successfully last year in
strong-arming a reluctant Duma into confirming the 35-year old Kiriyenko as
prime minister, but only on the third vote.  And only to have to dismiss
this NWO greenhorn a few months later.

When the impeachment trial opens tomorrow, Yeltsin will face five counts:

1.  That he is guilty of causing the Chechnya war and of war crimes in that
civil conflict;
2.  That he is responsible for the break-up of the Soviet Union;
3.  That he is guilty of murder of thousands of Russian citizens during the
October 1993 attack on the Russian parliament, which he had ordered (for
more information on this, see "Yeltsin's 'Red October II,' available at our
Web site - http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins/tim98-3-10.html);
4.  That he is responsible for the deterioration of the Russian military;
5.  That he is guilty of genocide against the Russian people (through an
economic and social collapse of Russia which his policies have caused);

For more information on all these points, especially those dealing with
Counts 4. And 5. - check out the many stories which are available at the
TiM Web site in the Eastern  Europe/Russian Affairs section
(http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins99/timgwbull-sample.html).

When the impeachment trial ends with a vote on Saturday, even if he is
impeached by the Duma, Yeltsin will be able to drag things out just as Bill
Clinton did after the House of Representatives voted to impeach the
American president last December. Russia's Supreme and Constitutional Court
will have to rule on the legality of the impeachment articles.  Finally,
the Federation Council (kind of like the U.S. Senate), consisting of
Russia's regional leaders, will also have to vote with a two-thirds
majority to impeach him.

But the Russians have never been known for changing their government
through a drawn-out political TV soap operas, like the Watergate hearings,
for example.  Or the Clinton impeachment process, which ended up with a
whimper in the corrupt Senate.  And which helped convince most
freedom-minded Americans that not only have the un-American New World Order
bosses bought the White House, along with and all of its agencies and
accoutrements; they have also bought and

Secret Behind 
Secret Societies

By Jon Rappoport 
Excerpt fromThe Secret Behind Secret Societies: 
  Liberation of the Planet in the 
21st Century

The way of the secret society is a way of life. At its root, it is not 
grinning skulls and sputtering candles in dark rooms. It is not that 
provincial. 
The secret society reflects one invisible tradition that has existed on 
Earth for a hundred thousand years. It is the main Way that people have 
lived on this planet 

There is another way, another tradition, more invisible, more powerful. 
This book is about these two avenues. 

It is amazing, at this late date, that so many people think power is 
merely a cake of clay that six billion of us are beating at with 
hammers. It is astonishing that so many people think power is a mound of 
lumps and dust that six billion of us are fighting over. 

Power has been taken by very well-run organizations. Major power. On the 
other side of the coin, there is a growing crowd that thinks we must 
invoke fire-eating lizards or Satan to explain how power has been stolen 
from us. 

This is a book about the organizations that have carted off something 
very vital in the middle of the night — and how to get it back. More 
than that, it is about the exact methods used to unhook us from all that 
we are. I have done enough excavation to expose the central ruse, to 
show two invisible traditions of history.

Why Did They Do It?

An Inquiry into the School Shootings in America

by Jon Rappoport



The massacre at Columbine High School took place on April 20, 1999.

Astonishingly, for eight days after the tragedy, during thousands of

hours of prime-time television coverage, virtually no one mentioned the

word "drugs." Then the issue was opened. Eric Harris, one of the

shooters at Columbine, was on at least one drug.



The NY Times of April 29, 1999, and other papers reported that Harris

was rejected from enlisting in the Marines for medical reasons. A friend

of the family told the Times that Harris was being treated by a

psychiatrist. And then several sources told the Washington Post that the

drug prescribed as treatment was Luvox, manufactured by Solvay.



In two more days, the "drug-issue" was gone.



Luvox is of the same class as Prozac and Zoloft and Paxil. They are

labeled SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). They attempt to

alleviate depression by changing brain-levels of the natural substance

serotonin. Luvox has a slightly different chemical configuration from

Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft, and it was approved by the FDA for

obsessive-compulsive disorder, although many doctors apparently

prescribe it for depression.



Had Eric Harris been on other drugs as well? Ritalin? Prozac?

Tranquilizers? As yet we don't know.



Prozac is the wildly popular Eli Lilly antidepressant which has been

linked to suicidal and homicidal actions. It is now given to young

children. Again, its chemical composition is very close to Luvox, the

drug that Harris took.
