[CTRL] First Cars, Then Dogs?????
-Caveat Lector- Not only are they seizing cars in New York on suspicion of DUI, they're seizing dogs on suspicion of "bad behavior." Technically, this has to do with dogs that have bitten someone, but what's to stop a neighbor who doesn't like your little dog from calling the cops? If your dog is suspected of bad behavior, it is incarcerated and you will need a lawyer to get it back--within 10 days-- before it is euthanized!! And of course, it's behavior will be judged in a shelter situation, where the animal is bound to be terrorized and upset. Certainly there are situations that warrant intervention, especially involving improperly supervised guard dogs that are trained to fight and kill, and dogs that have done serious injury to people--but why are they turning these laws that relate to serious, specific situations into general laws that impact everyone? We are spiraling down the drain fast!!! sno0wl DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

[CTRL] could be trouble some
Title: could be trouble some makes you wounder. Bombs Away The American handling of atomic weapons in peacetime has been riddled with mishaps. The most spectacular accidents have come in the mere transport of the bombs from one place to another. In early 1958, for example, a B-47 crashed into a fighter plane and jettisoned a nuclear weapon into the sea off Savannah Beach, Georgia. The bomb was never found. Later that year another B-47 accidentally dropped an atomic bomb while flying over Florence, South Carolina. When it hit the ground, an explosion with the power of several hundred pounds of TNT blasted out a crater thirty-five feet deep and spread a ring of plutonium around the area. Local residents preparing for a family picnic heard it coming and barely had time to duck for cover. It blew out the side and top of the garage just as my boy ran inside with me, said Walter Bill Gregg, whose family was injured in the blast. The timbers were falling around us. There was a green, foggy haze, then a cloud of black smoke. It lasted about thirty seconds. When it cleared up, I looked at the house. The top was blown in and a side almost blown off. The government later dragged Gregg's compensation claims through the courts. He finally won fifty-four thousand dollars, but was left deeply embittered by the experience.[2] In 1961 two more American atomic bombs were dropped over Goldsboro, North Carolina, by a crashing B-52. One deployed a parachute, which eased its fall to earth; the other broke apart on impact. Another B-52 with four hydrogen bombs aboard crashed into an ice floe near Thule, Greenland. The entire plane and its cargo apparently disintegrated, leaving a radioactive hole nearly half a mile long in its wake. With abundant apologies to the Danish government, which rules Greenland, the military was forced to ship 1.7 million gallons of contaminated ice and snow back to the United States for disposal. In January of 1966 yet another B-52 crashed into its refueling tanker and spewed three hydrogen bombs onto the fishing village of Palomares, Spain. A fourth bomb dropped into the Mediterranean. TNT exploded in two of the bombs and spread plutonium over a square mile, forcing the U.S. to destroy local crops and remove tons of radioactive topsoil back to South Carolina for burial. In all, the U.S. military admits to twenty-seven accidents involving nuclear weapons--which it terms Broken Arrows. Independent critics charge the figure is more like 125.[3] If the handling of nuclear bombs has been less than perfect, so has their production. In 1963, for example, a fire at the AEC's Medina works in San Antonio touched off 120,000 tons of explosives and sent a uranium cloud into the environs of one of Texas's largest cities. At least two major explosions also ripped through the AEC's Burlington, Iowa, bomb-assembly plant. And the AEC's hydrogen-bomb fabrication plant at Pantex, Texas (near Amarillo), was severely damaged by a freak hailstorm, despite its supposed invulnerability to enemy attack.[4] Significant quantities of radiation have also leaked into the environment. In 1974 the operators of the huge Savannah River weapons facility at Aiken, South Carolina, accidentally released some 435,000 curies of radioactive tritium in a single day--the largest single tritium emission ever reported in the U.S. Studies of the local water system show serious contamination, and there are preliminary indications of an escalated cancer rate among people living near the plant.[5] Overall, the American nuclear weapons production program has been plagued with mismanagement, cost overruns, sloppy handling of radioactive materials, and low worker morale. All of which may have found its ultimate expression at the Idaho Nuclear Engineering Laboratory (INEL), a vast outpost where research-and-development projects are conducted for the military, spent nuclear submarine fuel is recycled, and military radioactive wastes are stored. INEL has a bleak history. In 1960 three technicians were killed there when a fuel rod blew out of a small test reactor, piercing the body of one and pinning him to the reactor containment, high above the core. The other two men were hopelessly contaminated, and pieces of their bodies had to be buried in lead caskets. An NRC official later indicated that the accident may have been caused deliberately by one of the technicians in a bizarre suicide-murder plot stemming from a love triangle at the plant.[6] In subsequent years INEL has been plagued with sloppy handling of nuclear wastes. Concentrated uranium was accidentally dumped on a nearby road. Far more serious, INEL management from 1952 to 1970 deliberately dumped some sixteen billion gallons of liquid wastes into wells that feed directly into the water table below. Radioactive contamination has been found 7.5 miles away, angering local farmers and raising questions about the long-term fate of the huge Snake River Aquifer, a major underground

When will Lucent be Year 2000 Ready? A1. We're targeting June 30, 1999 to have finished Year 2000 deployment for our products, as well as address the Year 2000 readiness of our internal business systems. Q2. What is Lucent doing to prepare for the Year 2000? A2. We've taken a number of steps to help our customers make their businesses ready for the Year 2000, as well as make our own company ready. Lucent's business groups each have a team of people, headed by a Y2K program leader, dedicated full-time to bringing their products and processes into conformance with Lucent's Y2K requirements. We're committed to having Y2K ready products and processes tested and available before 2000, and we're on track to do this. Other full-time teams, most notably in our CIO organization, are focused on bringing our internal systems into compliance, as well as managing our suppliers' readiness. While the primary accountability for the Y2K work is with these organizations, we also have a Lucent Year 2000 Program Office (LYPO) responsible to ensure that Y2K work spans the entire enterprise, that all aspects of key business risks have been identified and are being addressed, and where the LYPO identifies gaps, it raises those issues and assures they are addressed. The LYPO works with the accountable organizations to ensure that our products and computer-based financial and information systems are prepared. Q3. How is Lucent's approaching the Year 2000 work? A3. Every part of Lucent's business has been involved in a process that includes an inventory and assessment of the scope of their Y2K work. We examine the effect Y2K readiness will have on our products and how we manage our operations and on our customers. From this initial review, we have developed plans that focus on what remediation and testing needs to be done to make sure that our products, services, information systems and infrastructure are Y2K ready. Q4. What is the objective of the Lucent Year 2000 work? A4. Our goal is to move into the new millennium without any significant impacts to our customers and our business. | About Lucent's Year 2000 Program | Enterprise Year 2000 | NSP Year 2000 | | Octel Year 2000 | Contact Us | Corporate FAQs | Home | This Website is a Year 2000 Internet Website as defined in the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act, United States public law no. 105-271, 112 stat 2386 (1998) and contains both Year 2000 statements and Year 2000 readiness disclosures as defined in that act.

If you put two organizations that big together this late in the Year 2000 crunch, there are going to be problems. If they can't get these computing tasks done in time, It could be fatal says consultant Jim Woodward. USA Today, 4-14-98 Microsoft says two dozen of its products have Year 2000 software glitches, including Windows 95 and Windows NT. Most problems are minor and would not affect the software's main function. It says three older programs - Word 5.0 for DOS, Access 2.0 and Office Professional Edition versions 4.0-4.3 - have more serious flaws. USA Today, 4-17-98 IRS Commissioner Charles Rossotti said the year 2000 glitch is his top priority. He said that if the IRS doesn't prepare its antiquated computer system for the digital crisis in time, 90 million taxpayers won't get refunds. It's a very risky situation, he said. Preparing its computers for the next century will cost the IRS nearly $1 billion. Rossotti has set a Jan. 31, 1999 deadline for fixing the year 2000 problem. There's no plan B, he said. The whole financial system of the United States will come to a halt. It's very serious. It not only could happen, it will happen if we don't fix it right. USA Today, 4-2-98 Last week U.S. officials admitted that they've fixed only 35% of the most vital mainframes and won't have time before Dec. 31, 1999 to prevent all the 5,100 remaining machines from deciding it's 1900, not 2000. Financial transactions could be delayed, airline flights grounded and national defense affected, warns the GAO's Gene Dodaro. Time magazine, March 30, 1998 Crashing computers could foul up air traffic, communications, business deliveries, credit card sales, financial accounts, benefit payments, tax refunds, electricity and even some medical treatments. Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Bank's chief economist fears the bug could cause a worldwide recession. In an increasingly interconnected world, an unfixed system at one company can recontaminate repaired systems at others. Private surveys show health care, retail stores, local governments and education are woefully behind. If the government doesn't know who isn't ready, it can't protect those who are.

There's a 50% to 60% chance each major carrier will suffer at least one failure of a mission critical system. And that's despite the industry spending more than two years and billions of dollars to rid their systems of Year 2000 bugs. Fire and police department dispatch systems are vulnerable, too, the FCC says. FCC Commissioner Michael Powell says 'the vast majority of police and fire equipment is not Year 2000 compliant.'

[CTRL] martial law
Title: martial law martial law era. When Martial Law was declared in 1972, the Lopezes were forced to completely give up ownership and control of MSC, and a new group identified with the Martial Law regime took over the company through the Meralco Foundation, Inc. (MFI). The Lopezes were kept out of MSC/Meralco until after the EDSA revolution. In October 1977, MFI acquired all of MSC¹s holdings in Meralco on installment payable up to 1991. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the unpaid Meralco shares would revert automatically to MSC upon default of MFI. Such a default occurred in 1985, resulting in the partial reversion of the ownership of Meralco to MSC. In the meantime, the new Martial Law regime owners of MSC adopted a new corporate name, First Philippine Holdings Corporation (FPHC), which gave it a completely new identity separate from Meralco. Without Meralco, FPHC was then forced to venture into other businesses beyond its traditional core competence. The ensuing rapid growth that resulted from an ill-timed expansion from 1979 to 1982 brought about the near downfall of FPHC. The severe economic difficulties experienced by the country from 1983 to 1986 resulted in heavy financial losses for FPHC, forcing the company to sell off some of its prized assets, notably PCIBank and PPC, to meet maturing obligations. - Corporate Brochure, p. 5

-Caveat Lector- Well, I have had it with these computer genius types; most of whom, cannot type of course. Me, I am a lowly type and type 120 wpm officially per minuteand up to 150 on a computer. That was 10 years ago, and I have slowed down a lot. Now, all these computer genius types; why is it that this so called "glitch" happened with all these genius types walking about making billions of dollars at the top. Consider in the Star War movies computers operating hundreds of years from now, and do not say nobody recognized this problem long ago. Cui Bono - who profits - always ask, who profits. Will it be Bill Gates - well, I imagine so. Hopefull some poor folk will get a piece of this action After all, computers do not build skyscrapers, pick up your trash every day so we do not have rat infested streets, build cars, house, lay roads..the backbone and the real brains and guts of the country does this job. Is there a simple solution for these genius types for the pending doom and gloom not prophesied by our computer gurus? Why can they not program the computers to simply add two digits on all numbers starting from 1800 to 2000, etc. But then, some of the genius types would have to learn to type, cause adding those two digits was such a big chore - Oh by the way.who profits from this anyway...the soothsayers of doom and gloom; the Gates machine; and of course, who loses - you guessed it = we do, the American people who will be asked to pick up the tab with the money game. Well, the USA has money to throw around40 million to Ken Star, why that was a drop in the buckets. Bet all those lawyers, are now figuring out a way to stir up all those lawsuits that will come about by the Starship USA 2000 dilemna.

Re: [CTRL] Clinton - Mafia Ties: More Links
-Caveat Lector- Where were you when Richard Nixon was entertaining Albert Speer, one of the 7 men in Spandau; or Werner von Braun whom many did not trust, worked on our space program which was a dismal flop at first.both of these men were Key Nazis. Where were you when in South American a former Nazi headed up Interpolthe police organization; or when it was discovered that a former Nazi also headed up major drug operations, most likely using the old Odessa route for their drug route.American style. Where were you when men were dying in Viet Nam, and Social Security money was being used to fight this war and now - these same men are being told that maybe they won't get their own Social Security back Now Clinton is going to do something about this. I do not care about his sex life...I only know he seems to care about the American people. As for this Mafia.well, someone had to organize crime, we could not have it running amuck in the streets - and who else can keep the criminals in line. Al Capone was loved because during a depression he gave people what they wanted - jobs, and booze.he was no angel, but he was a member of the Five Point Gang - my, now aren;t we fancy. So take your pick - you can support the rich man's Mafia, or the poor Man's Mafia. Am afraid Oscar Wilde was right when he said of some politicos "he talks like a Liberal, but still eats with the tories". Me, I love John Rockefeller; they have always been humanitaris.but the worst humanitarian is the liberal humanitarian with the whip...and as Huey Long said, when fascism comes, it will come in disguise. So, I will tke the poor Mafia.and support Clinton. I like eating with Tories if they pick up the tab; but when we go Dutch, give me McDonalds or the Ponderosa, for us poor folk.. Now never took to the movie industry where a movie start such as Bruce Willis can make 50 million dollars for one lousey movie - and then look at the movies which are nothing but government controlled propaganda tools. Did anyone ever hear of anti trust laws when it comes to movie stars. So - labor unions had Jimmy Hoffa; look what happened to him..both Bobby and Hoffatwo pit bulls who would not let go. The real builders of this country were the laborers and the farmers - one built your home, and the other put food on your table. The Mafia never got their hooks on the farmer; no, they are just taking their land away through non payment of taxes.yes, I am of the firm opinion that if I had to join the Mafia, I would take John Gotti who was a man of respect.as for that so called 400 Club, well who warned Reagan a week before he was shot to change his ways..it was this shadowy 400 Club.. So pick a side - join the 400 who wouldn't let you in their front door, or the John Gotti's - one uses the law, and the other supposedly breaks it. No wonder Do left on the comet.

-Caveat Lector- On Sun, 28 Feb 1999, Colleen Jones trolled: Well, I have had it with these computer genius types; most of whom, cannot type of course. Me, I am a lowly type and type 120 wpm officially per minuteand up to 150 on a computer. That was 10 years ago, and I have slowed down a lot. I'm a computer programmer, but I only type 65-70 wpm...never billed myself as a 'genius type', guess that's why... Back in the late 60s, when I took typing classes in highschool, only a very few people could consistently achieve 120 wpm...the 'best' average was considered 80 to 100 wpm... And in all my working career, esp. PRE-programming when I worked in offices with clerical staff and keypunch personnel, I never once met anyone who could consistently type at 120wpm... If you have that skill, dear, you should be commanding a very hefty salary... Now, all these computer genius types; why is it that this so called "glitch" happened with all these genius types walking about making billions of dollars at the top. Because it was the management genius types call...THEY didn't see it as a problem, so never allocated the funds nor the staff to correct it. Consider in the Star War movies computers operating hundreds of years from now, and do not say nobody recognized this problem long ago. If you base your philosophy/mindset/worldview solely on Hollywood, God help you. But yes, the 'problem' WAS recognized back in the 60s and 70s, but as I said, it was management's call as to whether to spend to time fixing it, and they decided not to. who profits. Will it be Bill Gates - well, I imagine so. Desktop systems aren't the problems, mainframes are...so Bill Gates has nothing to do with it. Hopefull You should be spending some time studying a dictionary, dear...perhaps your lack of spelling and grammar skills is what has held you in low- paying positions, and not your supposed typing speed. some poor folk will get a piece of this action After all, computers do not build skyscrapers, pick up your trash every day No, but they run the businesses that employ the people who DO work in thoe fields... Computers are used to design the blueprints for skyscrapers, to run the HVAC system, to generate the payroll to pay the builders of the skyscrapers and those who work within them, to pay the bills of the companies who provide products and services to that skyscraper... Is there a simple solution for these genius types for the pending doom and gloom not prophesied by our computer gurus? Why can they not program the computers to simply add two digits on all numbers starting from 1800 to 2000, etc. Because most software hasn't allowed for the space for the century digit. If a two-digit year occupied position 1 and 2 of a field layout, followed by, say, an account number starting in position 3, one can't just go in and say the year is now 4-digits, starting in position 1, since your existing database has an account number starting in position 3. Even in the cases where space IS allocated for a 4-digit year, the OS is so old it can't be upgraded, and it only recognizes two-digit years as being in the twentieth century...so when '1' gets added to '99', presuming an overflow error condition has been taken care of, the OS will assume the year '00' represents 1900 and not 2000. I'm currently working on such an antique system...it handles four digit years correctly, e.g. it can rollover from 1999 to 2000 without any problems, but it chokes on a 2-digit year, assuming the day after 12-31-99 is January 1, 1900... Then there's the potential problem with Sept. 9, 1999...9/9/99 -- some programs utilized all nines to indicate an error condition; there's also a potential problem with Feb. 29, 2000 -- 1900 wasn't a leap year, so anyone figuring 'what the heck, I'll just go along with two digits no matter WHAT my computer 'thinks' the century is' will run into a problem then; there's also a potential problem with Oct. 10, 2000 -- 10/10/00 -- the first full digit date, and a possible problem going from 12/31/2000 to 01/01/2001... None of it is 'rocket science' programming, it's just a matter of dealing with systems and code -- some of which haven't been recompiled in years -- under a limited time frame...

Re: [CTRL] y2k you
-Caveat Lector- I told you I had slowed down a bit you all, and I supposed I should correct myself. There are those who put the brains into the computer, and those who use it; and there are those, who write the program, etc. Years ago, I recognized the fact that the whole world would operate on a keyboard someday; having played the piano and violin, my fingers moved a little more in the speedier lite. And I do not correct my spelling, because I simply do not want to take the time. I do not have a spellchecker on this web - but I do have an IQ of 145 - whats yours? And I also had the unique opportunity to work with, not for, an MI6 for 12 years, who also had many best sellers - and some of my material was used. You seem to judge people by the buck, do you not. If I insulted your integrity -fine. If I insulted your mother or someone, that would be different. It always made me laugh, however, to see all these big, bad men at their computers, who could not type; yet, some knew, the entire world would someday operate on a keyboard of some type or another. No - I do not need anybody to correct my English or my spelling. I would do so myself, but it really doesn't matter. I would like to mention the day I saw the light was in a bank; you had the servant controlling the masters.The hired help knew how to operate the computer, while the bank president could not. So one day they just dumped a bunch of computers on the brass in the banks...and you should have seen them. So why ain't you rich, you camel lipped jerk. As a woman alone, I have done pretty well. I am now retired, but we were taught to appreciate good music, good art, good drinks, and I have always held in contempt those who sat at a computer trying to be a genius, when in fact, they were just playing the role of a misplaced genius, who for some reason or another, got stuck behind a keyboard and could not type. What I am saying is simply this; the entire problem could have been avoided had someone dipped into the future and realized, that they not only had people born in the 1800 period to worry about but the 2000 period as well, and used 4 digit year. Anyway, they have made something so simple, so complex and all the God shouters will be on the streets with 999 stamped on their foreheads.

[CTRL] On The Waterfront
-Caveat Lector- Elia Kazan directed movie, "On The Waterfront." During House Unamerican Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings, Kazan named names. Some see his subsequent movie, "On The Waterfront" as Kazan's justification; hero in the movie "snitches" on corrupt union leaders. Kazan to receive honorary Oscar, but there will be protests based on Kazan's HUAC testimony, where he had named names. Below is editorial on subject, from NYTimes. February 28, 1999 Hollywood Hypocrisy By ARTHUR SCHLESINGER JR. E lia Kazan is a wonderfully creative director who has contributed brilliantly to the arts of drama and film in the 20th century. He is also a man who in 1952 gave the House Committee on Un-American Activities the names of people he had known during his brief membership in the Communist Party 16 years before. And he is a man whose impending recognition by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is driving some people into orgies of self-righteous frenzy. Mr. Kazan, they say, is a scoundrel who should apologize for past misdeeds in politics before he receives an honorary Oscar for his lifetime achievement in the arts. Mr. Kazan, the protesters say, is an informer, and his offense is unforgivable. But is that what the protesters really mean? Is informing unforgivable in all circumstances? Had Mr. Kazan been a member of the German-American Bund naming underground Nazis, would they have condemned him just as much? Or a former Klansman who informed on his hooded brethren? Or a former Mafia thug who informed on the mob? Or a member of the Nixon White House who informed during Watergate? Or a whistleblower who disclosed government malfeasance? No, informing per se is not Mr. Kazan's offense. His true offense in the minds of the Hollywood protesters is that he informed on the Communist Party. Now, informing on former associates is not an easy choice, even though Mr. Kazan named no names not already known to the committee. Under the pressure of the time, Mr. Kazan searched his conscience and went one way. Others searched their consciences and went another way. Those who were not subject to the pressures of the time should not rush to judgment. "No one knows what he'd do," Lee Strasberg, the director of the Actors Studio, told Mr. Kazan, "until he's in it." Mr. Kazan's critics are those -- or latter-day admirers of those -- who continued to defend Stalin after the Moscow trials, after the pact with Hitler, through the age of the gulag. One wonders at their presumption in condemning others for recognizing the horrors of Stalinism -- horrors that the entire world, including Russia, acknowledges today. The presumption is especially acute when it comes from those who, when they testified before HUAC, declined to declare their true beliefs. (Bartley Crum, one of their lawyers, urged that they declare them.) Instead they preserved secrecy, refused to argue their beliefs and posed as champions of a Bill of Rights that a Stalinist regime would instantly have abolished. If the Academy's occasion calls for apologies, let Mr. Kazan's denouncers apologize for the aid and comfort they gave to Stalinism. Those were horrid times. Little has disgraced Congress more than the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Its inquiry into Communism in Hollywood was among the most indefensible, scandalous and cruel episodes in the entire history of legislative investigations. The idea that the presence of a few Stalinists and fellow-travelers in the film industry was a grave threat to the republic rates high in the annals of Congressional asininity. Collaboration with these Congressional clowns had its elements of disgust and shame, as Mr. Kazan himself admits in his memoir. But was it worse than collaboration with the Communist Party -- the party that for years, as Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in 1945, "taught the philosophy of the lie." "They taught that allegiance to the party and acceptance of orders from party heads, whose interests were not just those of the United States, were paramount" she said. "Because I have experienced the deception of the American Communists, I will not trust them." These were indeed horrid years -- horrid for HUAC's unhappy targets, horrid for HUAC's unhappy collaborators. In 1970 Dalton Trumbo, a major target, spoke interesting words to the Screenwriters Guild. "Caught in a situation that had passed beyond the control of mere individuals," he said, "each person reacted as his nature, his needs, his convictions and his particular circumstances compelled him to. There was bad faith and good, honesty and dishonesty, courage and cowardice,

[CTRL] Fwd: NSA Agent Gets 24 Years - NSA Director Quits
TOP SECRET = 24 YEARS Former National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence analyst David Sheldon Boone was sentenced to 24 years in prison for passing Top Secret data to the KGB for $60,000. Boone passed the secret data to the Soviet Union from 1988 to 1991. Boone was caught in 1998 by FBI agents posing as KGB agents who asked him to resume passing secrets to the replacement for the KGB, the SVR (Russian External Intelligence agency). According to Federal prosecutor Thomas Connolly, Boone passed new information to the FBI undercover agents that "put the lives of American pilots in danger." NSA DIRECTOR QUITS EARLY NSA Director USAF Lt. General Kenneth Minihan has decided to retire and leave the National Security Agency. Minihan has been in the NSA top spot since Admiral McConnell left in 1996. Minihan's short term and sudden loss is fueling speculation that he fumbled the Chinagate investigation by the intelligence agency. His predecessor, Navy Adm. McConnell, stayed in the spot for nearly eight years before stepping aside. McConnell was NSA Director under both President Bush and President Clinton. USAF Lt. General Michael V. Hayden has been appointed to replace Minihan at the top spot in NSA. TOP SECRET HUBBELL FILES According to documents obtained from the Dept. of Justice, former Assistant Attorney General Webster Hubbell had documents the national security equal to the Top Secret materials passed by Boone. The Hubbell documents are so classified that the NSA, NSC and FBI all withheld materials on the grounds of "national security." EAST COAST GPS JAMMING ENDS U.S. and NATO exercises staged off the east coast ended on Friday. The NATO military training included GPS jamming by the USAF NKC-135 Big Crow aircraft. The NKC-135 jammed GPS signals as far as 350 miles away from the NATO exercise zone off the U.S. coast. FAA and Coast Guard officials warned airmen and sailors of the GPS jamming. GPS FOOD FIGHT The FAA and U.S. investors are furious over the NATO jamming of GPS. The jamming has all but sunk any global agreement to use GPS as part of a world-wide air traffic control system. Wall Street aerospace analyst Wolfgang Demisch told Aviation Week that the GPS jamming was a "deliberate disruption that is for sure going to send a message to the rest of the world." According to Demisch,"The current GPS system is unsuitable as the base for any serious commercial applications, in particular a next generation air traffic control system." NO CHRISTMAS BONUS AT HUGHES Hughes Aerospace executives are screaming over the denial of a satellite export to China. According to Hughes Electronics CEO Charles Noski, "We will have to resell that satellite." "If we can't," said Noski. "We may have to take a charge of up to $100 million against 1999 earnings - a move we don't take lightly." SVR KNEW BOUT CLINTON BEFORE MATT DRUDGE Russian intelligence agency head, Vyachesla Trubnikov told Moscow newspapers that the SVR knew of President Clinton's "sexual problems." According to Trubnikov, the Russians knew "long ago" that Bill Clinton was a sexual "predator." No word from Trubnikov if the SVR tried to take advantage of the Clinton sex problem.

-Caveat Lector- OPERATION PERVERSION DEVIATION [SUCCESSFUL] FEB. 28, 1993 - JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED - FEB. 28, 1999 {{{ REMEMBER WACO }}} MENA NEWS MEANS TROUBLE FOR SLICK Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA Date: Wed, 4 Jan 1995 20:48:49 GMT The Washington Times Tuesday, January 3, 1995 A TRAIL OF PERSISTENT RUMORS LEADS TO MENA - Scandal could dwarf Whitewater by Hugh Aynesworth Mena, Ark.--It's a long story with everything: tales of drug smuggling, bags of cash dropping from the sky, murder by ambush, revenge in the dead of night, and laced with the names of famous spies and godfathers, pilots and presidents. If only half the particulars are true--and nobody is sure of the discount rate on the stories--it could be a scandal to dwarf anything seen before in U.S. politics. but despite a long run as a staple of congressional rhetoric, radio talk shows and investigations by most major news organizations, the accurate particulars remain elusive. Nevertheless, it's a story that won't go away, and its locale--the rugged hills deep in the Ouachita National Forest in the remote mountain counties of what has become America's most interesting state--and its connection, if any, to the Whitewater scandals lend the Mena story the elements and the aura of a bomb ticking beneath the feed of the famous and the powerful. Litigation, some of it already in the works, may force the answers to some questions. One prominent Arkansas politician, Bill Alexander, who served 12 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he was the chief deputy Democratic whip, is working with lawyers for one plaintiff who accuses Bill Clinton's chief of security with manipulating evidence. Mr. Alexander's interest in Mena (which is across the state from his old congressional district) is not new. He began hearing about Mena as early as 1988, and as a congressman he asked the General Accounting Office (GAO) to investigate how the investigation of foreign drug trafficking bears on the formulation of U.S. policy. In a confidential report from the House Appropriations committee, dated Feb. 22, 1989, the first paragraph of a six-page, single-spaced report says: "The Reagan administration repeatedly blocked the efforts by the GAO to obtain information concerning this investigation." In 1991, Mr. Alexander obtained a $25,000 grant from the federal government to be used by the Arkansas State Police to reopen the investigation. Mr. Alexander got a commitment from the Arkansas attorney general Winston Bryant to help. But before the investigation got under way, Mr. Alexander was upset in the Democratic primary in 1992--the investigation was not an issue in the campaign-- and Bill Clinton was running for president. Few politicians at home wanted to stir up anything to hurt the candidacy of their very own good ol' boy. "There was enough evidence to begin cracking it open," says Mr. Alexander, who four years ago pushed hard for hearings on Mena by House subcommittees on Commerce, Justice, State and Judiciary, "and suddenly nobody wanted to touch it. I want to know why. "The basic problem here is that I (had) the highest possible clearance that the government can provide for secrecy. I (was) cleared for secrets that the president gets--and no one else--but I (was) denied access to information in a criminal investigation in my state." The Mena story is fraught with conjecture, much of it spun by its central figure, a swashbuckling pilot named Barry Seal, now dead. There is no proof that the clandestine events are linked to Whitewater, but many of the figures linked to Mena are figures who have been closely tied to Bill Clinton and the failure of Madison Guaranty Savings Loan Association of Little Rock in 1989, with its ties to Whitewater Development Corp., the real-estate partnership of Madison owner James B. McDougal, Mr. Clinton and their wives. Mr. Clinton has disclaimed any participation in or knowledge of any such activity at Mena, the most recent denial in answer to a question at his Oct. 7 news conference. Events at Mena "were primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction" he said. "The state really had next to nothing to do with it. The local prosecutor did conduct an investigation based on what was in the jurisdiction of state law. The rest of it was under the jurisdiction of the United States attorneys who were appointed successively by previous administrations. We had nothing--zero--to do with it." The denial was greeted with some skepticism in Arkansas, where Mr. Clinton's determination to know about everything going on while he was governor is still remarked on. Others linked by speculation and circumstance include Webster L. Hubbell, a close Clinton friend and confidant who pleaded guilty to bilking Little Rock's Rose Law Firm, where he was a partner with Hillary Rodham Clinton, and its clients of $390,000; Dan R. Lasater, a Little Rock

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - The Religion Business Rev. Henry Lyons Found Guilty of Racketeering, Grand Theft Those burning waterfront homes LARGO, Fla. The head of one of the nation's most influential black denominations, who prosecutors said "traded the Good Book for the bank book," was found guilty Saturday on charges of swindling millions of dollars from companies seeking to do business with his followers. The Rev. Henry Lyons, president of the National Baptist Convention USA, also was found guilty of grand theft in the disappearance of almost $250,000 from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, money intended to rebuild burned black churches in the South. The six-member jury acquitted Lyons' co-defendant and alleged mistress, Bernice Edwards, on the racketeering charge, the only count she faced. Lyons, flanked by his attorneys, showed no reaction as the judge read the verdicts. He faces three to seven years in prison. Edwards sobbed and put her head on her lawyer's shoulder after the verdict. Prosecutors accused the pair of stealing more than $4 million from corporations wanting to sell cemetery products, life insurance policies and credit cards to the convention's touted 8.5 million black members. Prosecutors have called the membership figure a hoax and said the convention could have had closer to 1 million members. They said Lyons and Ms. Edwards duped the companies by promising a membership mailing list that never existed at one point, according to testimony, even making up lists from $90 computerized phone disks that led one company to send letters to such non-Baptists as a grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and a Catholic priest. The pair then went on lavish spending sprees, buying a diamond ring "the size of a dime," a $700,000 waterfront home, a time-share condominium in Nevada, several luxury cars and expensive clothing, according to testimony during the five-week trial. The trial came to a standstill Saturday morning when two Tampa Bay television stations turned over copies of e-mails they had received from a man who claimed he overheard a female juror discussing the case with a friend. Lyons' attorney immediately asked for a mistrial. The judge denied the request after the juror denied the conversation. In a second e-mail, the same man wrote that he did not overhear the conversation directly. Prosecutors began investigating Lyons' finances in July 1997, after his wife set fire to the waterfront home. She told deputies she found the deed in her husband's briefcase and believed he and Ms. Edwards were having an affair. Deborah Lyons, later convicted of arson and sentenced to probation, since has said she supports her husband and does not believe Ms. Edwards was his mistress. Ms. Edwards, a convicted embezzler from Milwaukee, took the witness stand to deny having a sexual affair with the minister and asserted she earned every dime she spent by working as the convention's public relations director. However, convention aide Bonita Henderson testified she did have an affair with Lyons and told jurors that Ms. Edwards bragged of having a sexual relationship with him, even telling convention pastors the pair would marry "as soon as he got rid of his drunken wife." Ms. Henderson described making up a membership list for the Globe Life Insurance Co. at Lyons' direction, using a computerized telephone directory and eliminating names ending with "-ski" or clearly of other ethnic groups. The company paid Lyons $400,000 for that list, executives testified, then realized they had been duped when they received complaints from a grand dragon for the Ku Klux Klan, a Catholic priest and a member of their own board of directors who each received sales letters with Lyons' endorsement. The company later paid Lyons another $600,000 when he claimed the list had been sabotaged and he could get them another. The biggest victim, prosecutors said, was the world's second-largest funeral home company, the Loewen Group, which was cheated out of almost $3 million. "Somewhere along the line, he traded the Good Book for the bank book. That's what this case is all about," Assistant State Attorney Bill Loughery told the jury in closing arguments Thursday. "It's beyond hypocrisy and it's actually criminal." Defense lawyers attacked prosecutors as acting as "the moral police," saying the minister's failed business deals were not criminal matters and the case actually is about religious freedom. The convention has kept Lyons as its leader, saying he stole no funds from them and committed no wrongdoing, attorney Grady Irvin said. "They don't like it," he said, pointing at prosecutors. "The next thing you know, are they going to be writing the sermons? Telling us when to pray? When to kneel? When to stand up? This is a religious organization. ...

(OTC Bulletin Board: SCCI) today announced that it had been awarded a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a process to manufacture large superconductive discs for use in gravity modification experiments. The program, titled Demonstrate the Feasibility of fabricating a Dual Microstructure YBCO Toroid Suitable for Gravity Shielding Experiments links Superconductive Components, Inc. (SCI) with NASA and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The Phase I award of $70,000 will fund work to be done at SCI to modify its existing processes to develop a superconductive toroid with a very specific microstructure. Work published by Russian scientist Eugene Podkletnov suggests that a YBCO disc with specialized features may be able, under laboratory conditions, to shield gravity waves. Phase II of the program, if approved by NASA, could be funded up to $600,000. Approximately one half of NASA Phase I awards result in Phase II contracts. "We are pleased to have been selected by NASA through its peer review process, to do this work," said SCI Vice President, J.R. Gaines, Jr. "This award is a great acknowledgment of our technical strengths in YBCO Melt Texturing and the overall capability of our team. We are hopeful that this SBIR, which allows us to work closely with NASA on an extraordinary topic, will lead to significant technical breakthroughs, resulting in ongoing research and commercial sales." The concept of Gravity Modification has been investigated by NASA and others for several months and has been the subject of a recent documentary by German public television. International attention has been focused on these experiments because the shielding of earth bound objects from the effects of gravity may radically alter the economics of space travel and transportation in general.

[CTRL] INTELINK a book review by J. Orlin Grabbe
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.9/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.9/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 9/A - The Laissez Faire City Times March 1, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 9 Editor Chief: Emile Zola INTELINK a book review by J. Orlin Grabbe Intelink is the classified, worldwide intranet for the U.S. Intelligence Community linking together the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO ), the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and 8 other intelligence organizations, including the FBI. Intelink is the subject of Frederick Thomas Martins flashily titled Top Secret Intranet: How U.S. Intelligence Built Intelink The Worlds Largest, Most Secure Network. Perhaps the most surprising revelation the book makes is that this very closed network was built entirely on open system standards like TCP/IP (the communication protocols of the Internet) and SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language, of which HTML the hypertext presentation language of the World Wide Web is an application). Indeed, Martin gets around to boldly stating that " Intelink is patterned after the global Internet." "It was a dark and stormy night," Martins introduction begins, and that is the best written sentence in the somewhat ponderously crafted and repetitious Intro the literary techniques of English novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton otherwise conspicuous by their absence. Reading Martins mushy acknowledgements, one quickly forms the impression of a book both written and vetted by a committee; indeed, one begins to question whether Martins name should appear on the book at all. Martin recently retired from the NSA as Deputy Director of its Information Services Group. But it gets better once we reach the book proper. Chapter 1 tells the origin of Intelink, how in 1994 DCI James Woolsey created the Intelligence Systems Board (ISB) to improve the interoperability of information systems supporting intelligence operations. Along with ISB came a permanent staff, known as the Intelligence Systems Secretariat (ISS). Steven Schanzer, the first Director of the ISS, became the "father" of Intelink. A "proof of concept" prototype was put together in April 1994, and by the end of the year Intelink was operational. The rest of Chapter 1 gives a thumbnail history of the Internet and the World Wide Web, introduces SGML and its offspring HTML (an SGML application) and the more recent XML (eXtensible Markup Language, a subset of SGML which will be supported in future Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers), and concludes with a discussion of the need for In telink to meet the changing needs of intelligence. Martin notes that SMGL was adopted for document tagging by the Department of Defense in 1987 in its CALS ("Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support") Program, then as an information processing standard by the CIA in 1993, and finally by Intelink in 1994. Chapter 2 is essentially a bureaucratic history of the development of Intelink, and describes the eventual formation of the Intelink Management Office (IMO), whose Director alternates between the CIA and DIA, and whose Deputy Director is always NSA. There are dry recitations of duties and goals, some of which read like they were written by an IT-trained Russian speaker struggling with the English language. For example: "· Enhancing support infrastructures to ensure that future Intelink services enjoy the stability of a robust and well-administered information environment; [Translation: Get our shit together.] "· Establishing a viable training program to ensure that all producers and users can effectively use existing and new services; [Translation: Teach people to use the system.] "· Developing a technology integration program to ensure that Intelink enjoys the benefits of early introduction of new information technology;" [Translation: Grab the new stuff pronto.] The chapter notes that the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) the Department of Defenses new system for delivering command and control capabilities to the warfighter relies in part on Intelink. (See "Intelink-S," below.) As currently constituted, Intelink is segmented into security levels. At the core is "Intelink-SCI." SCI, according to Martin, stands for "Special" Compartmented Information, although most other people seem to think it stands for "Sensitive" Compartmented Information (see, for example, Jeffrey T. Richelson, The U.S. Intelligence Community, 3rd edition). Information available on Intelink-SCI is classified up to "Top Secret/SCI." About 50,000 people have access to this level, including Monica Lewinsky, while she was at the Pentagon. (You will recall that Monica had a Top Secret/SCI clearance for reasons never explained, but presumably because of her need for

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.9/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.9/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 9/A - The Laissez Faire City Times March 1, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 9 Editor Chief: Emile Zola Education: The Fifth Estate by Ace In certain minority circles, everybody's talking about the majority who's so dumbed-down that they no longer care about perjury, obstruction of justice, or gross misuse of power. It's almost as if barbarism was a new political trend. Of course some are pointing to the media as a cause. And you probably have heard the collective media described as the propaganda wing, or "Fourth Estate" of American government. But while most of us realize that the media has effectively become the Fourth Estate, it's only beginning to dawn on us that there has also long been a Fifth. We're talking about the American system of education, both public and private. We're talking about grades K through Twelve. We're talking about those A's, B's, M's, and P's attached to the names of individuals who have ran the gauntlet of upper academia. We're talking about the PC facilitators. We're talking about the Fifth Estate. Locked in the narrow detention of their own deniallike virtually everyone else incarcerated in even the most comfortable American prisonslimousine liberals and plush corporate contract members of the media hold themselves innocent. Innocent at least, of political bias. Although to anyone capable of tying his own shoes, the charade of the majority of talking heads and syndicated quill pushers has become as clear as Waterford Crystal. Nearly ninety percent of the Washington press-corps admits being Liberal, and Hollywood doesn't even pretend. And if the bias of the Fourth Estate is evident to the point of popular cynicism, the same is true of the Fifth Estate. After all, that's where most of the Manhattan media anchors and Hollywood visionaries got their education. From a certain point of view then, the American system of education appears to be the training ground for those tending a pure propaganda engine for progressive political ideologies. So much so that it has become a political force in its own right. There are presently 760 federal programs that deal with education. And even as we speak the central government is trotting out long-legged new plans for huge increases in spending. Voracious instructors and academic administrators pant obsequiously with tin cups ready. But there's nothing new about this trend in America. Long before political correctness became politically correct, foundation facilitators were busy planning. "The term 'planning' is mostly used as a synonym for socialism, communism, and authoritarian and totalitarian economic management. Sometimes only the German pattern of socialismZwangswirtshaftis called planning, while the term socialism proper is reserved for the Russian pattern of outright socialization and bureaucratic operation of all plants, shops and farms. At any rate, planning in this sense means all-around planning by the government and enforcement of these plans by the police power." Ludwig von Mises, Planning For Freedom Look Out for the Truant Officer Frederick Gates, Chairman of the General Education Board, a private institution funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, remarked about their hopes for public education as far back as 1902. In the Board's Occasional Letter he wrote, "In our dreams, we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand." This must be the molding hand that lent itself to the systematic destruction of the American ideal of individual liberty and personal accountability in favor of our current "kleptocracy." And it must be the progressive hand that's now dangerously flirting with that wretched seductress popularly described as American Fascism. One thing's for sure. It is a trend. And it's a trend that also appears to include a smug effort to use education as a vehicle for cultural destruction. The primary target has long been the stabilizing force of traditional Western values that works through individual conscience. Specifically, these are the values of the ancient Jews and their gentile Christian progeny. At the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, David Horowitz described it as a blend of Judaic law and Hellenistic philosophy. It's the historic alloy of law and value, of personal liberty and individual accountability, of faith and reason. While Jesse Jackson chants, "Hey hey, ho ho, Western Culture's gotta' go," his multicultural followers reject the very values that gave the world the Magna Carta, the Mayflower Compact, and the Declaration of Independence. And the destruction of that value system clearly appears an orchestrated means to reduce the public to a new barbarism, with the primary purpose of rebuilding the

Kocher I remember this country when it was sane. That was more than 40 years ago. The end really started with John Kennedy. The minute I first heard him, I recognized there was something terribly wrong with that man. He was lying to me without shame or conscience. He did not have respect for me or for the presidency. It was the same impression I received, more strongly, upon seeing or hearing Bill Clinton. I did not like or agree with Harry Truman. Truman was somewhat misguided, naive, and had a lot more guts than brains. But he was consistent from day to day, amenable to logic, was honest about himself, and had some sort of internal standards and structure that were stable and could be relied upon. Harry Truman was always Harry Truman. Love him, or hate him, what you got on Thursday was the same as what you got on Monday was the same as what took place behind the scenes, and there was no deception. I did not receive the impression I was listening to a hard core psychopath behind a glib facade with Truman as I did when listening to Kennedy and Clinton. Harry Truman was, if nothing else, sane. There is a story about someone seeking to ingratiate himself by making the mistake of offering Truman women on the side. An indignant Truman replied that he married his high school sweetheart and he didnt play around on her, and she didnt play around on him. Wouldnt it be like dying and going to heaven to hear something like that again? Suppose it were now 45 years ago. Suppose I were to go about the town where I lived saying I knew for certain that the President of the United States was really a madman who ran around laughing and masturbating in the Oval Office in front of naked girls. In a short time I would have been brought before a panel of psychiatrists, so as to let the court determine the competence of my mental functioning. If I persisted in my assertions during psychiatric examination I would be told I was crazy, because any sane mind would realize no such thing could possibly be happening in this country. If I further argued that it was true and I had evidence to prove it, right here in an investigation called the Starr Report, and millions of people supported the president in his e ndeavors, it would have been looked upon as conclusive evidence that my delusions were so highly developed as to be intractable, and that I was a possible danger to myself or society. Quite seriously, I might have wound up in a state mental hospital for the remainder of my life raving, "But its all true!, Heres the evidence!" Undoubtedly the doctors, nurses, and other patients would mumble, "Sad case. Hes been in here for 40 years raving and trying to convince people that such a thing is even possible. The worst and funniest part of it is that he keeps insisting we have the wrong man institutionalized. He thinks the President of the United States is the one who should be in here while he should be let out." This country has changed. What once would have been considered the ravings of a delusional psychotic, or the plot and visual imagery of a grotesquely surreal movie, is now reality. The president and his spokespersons such as James Carville and columnists such as Eleanor Clift mock us and say that we are crazy. But, we arent crazy: its real. The crazy part is that it is real and millions of people are defending it. Something very important has been lost in this that will affect the future stability of the country. The unthinkable has become reality. Henceforth in this country, what would formerly be dismissed as delusional can no longer be so easily dismissed. In the past the political stability of the country has been protected by an aura of the presidency and the belief that there was some sort of purification process that weeded out the extremely unfit or irresponsible. This had the secondary effect of diminishing the credibility or acceptance of erratic or delusional elements in the country critical of the government. There was a time when grotesque or paranoid speculation about presidential or governmental action would be dismissed by faith in a sane reality. It would be dismissed by saying Eisenhower, Truman, Reagan, or whoever was president could never do something like whatever it happened to be. With the Clintons we have reached the final point where that brake on political irrationality has been destroyed. A sense of stable reality has been lost. In a distorted condition of accusations or speculations and counter-accusations it has become much harder to decide which side should be dismissed as being nuts. This pertains not only to

I suppose we could blame the Church, but it's too easy a target. Of all the plausible culprits, ancient and modern, Christianity is as paltry a villain as her troupe of pitiful beggars and intellectual mendicants, limping along through history like an idiot whose crime consists of incompetence. I would be ashamed to put dear old foolish Faith in the dock. Indeed, though it was Jesus of Nazareth who probably invented the notion of charity, it would be decidedly unfair to accuse him of poor judgment. Failed carpenters and simple Jews need our protection, rather than scorn. See? -- I've fallen into the same trap, exonerating those who "don't know any better". It is a double standard by which the able pay dearly, myself included. Every time we succeed in life, a deep-rooted collective conscience whimpers an objection that few can ignore. Save the children. Feed the hungry. Share the wealth. Love thy neighbor. Even now, it occurs to me that this essay skates dangerously toward charity. Who is the intended beneficiary, if not a reader less fortunate than I? Perhaps I could write for the dead -- so lucky am I to have been saved. I could write for the unborn, but wiser than that, I could write for something unborn in me, in the hope that there's still time. Every day is a step toward -- or a step away from -- the thing we call God. Oh dear ... the cat is out of the bag, I fear. How many lives were damned by that word "God", or "Allah" or "Krishna" if you prefer? And who in the blood-drenched cavalcade of evolution had enough ingenuity and simple courage to turn God into Man, saving both? Only one that I know of, the patron saint of healthy children -- Ayn Rand O'Connor. She was born in Soviet Russia ... well, not quite: in 1905 her hometown, later renamed Leningrad, was still called St. Petersburg. Her parents were middle-class merchants. You can guess the rest: fleeing from the Bolsheviks, running into poverty, forbidden to leave by law and custom. Pure luck brought her to the United States in 1927, a young girl who spoke no English and dreamed of writing stories that would set the world on fire. In a sense, she achieved everything she set out to do. To date, Ayn Rand's epic novels (We The Living, Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged) have sold millions of copies, igniting the aspirations of every reader. Her non-fiction essays on human rights, free enterprise and technical philosophy shaped an entire generation of leaders. Greenspan in the United States, Thatcher in the UK, and tens of thousands in business and the professions. This is not to say that Ayn Rand "single-handedly" inspired the Me Generation, or the Thatcher Revolution, or Ivan Boesky's oft-quoted creed that "greed is good". But, apart from Milton Friedman and the Austrian school of economics, there were very few voices in the world which consistently championed capitalism as an ideal system. Ayn Rand was the first to declare that "greed is good" and make it stick. In a celebrated passage toward the end of her most influential novel, Atlas Shrugged, the hero demolishes 2000 years of altruism and enunciates a Bill of Rights for those who love life. The message is simple. Stop supporting your destroyers. Think. Act in your own self-interest. To the rest of the world, it was heresy. To me, it was a desperately needed lifeline that lifted me out of a sea of wreckage. For about five years after I read Atlas Shrugged, I must have thoroughly exhausted each of my friends and acquaintances with non-stop proselytizing and eager announcement of the Promised Land. It's here, it's now, it's in each one of us to understand and achieve. We are God. No spirit in the sky, but spirit in us, on earth. Life is worth living, if you live for your own sake. Mostly, it fell on deaf ears. I stopped talking about freedom for others. With church and state in near-monopoly of Western culture, there was no point in trying. Mystical concepts and New Age rhetoric had firmly grasped the minds of those around me and, Shirley McLaine notwithstanding, I could not stomach the popular notions that A is not A; that one creates one's reality; that nothing is real, all is illusion. I presume that mine was a typical experience. Discover Ayn Rand, try to spread the good news, give up because people are too frightened and cowardly to follow. And so, the "virtue of selfishness" which Ayn Rand preached remains locked away in private lives and daily life, like a secret society of thieves who stole the world's greatest treasure, each

Tiggre Recently a friend wrote to me that he didnt see much hope for greater freedom until Libertarians start getting elected and wondered if this would happen before what he called the "Death Horizon." By this he meant the approaching point of no return one might project from the states various escalating wars against freedomthe point after which the states control will become unbreakable and the cause of liberty lost forever (or for a very long time). He wondered how I could be an optimist in the face of that escalation. I am indeed an optimist, but its not because Im sticking my head in the sand about the states increasingly naked aggression. From the increasingly violent wars against various so-called vices ("victimless crimes"), to the increasing hysteria aimed at disarming the people who remain capable of effective self defense, to the increasingly obvious efforts of statists to use "free trade" and the "global village" as excuses to breathe new life into failed socialist policies, there are plenty of reasons to be alarmed. If one looks only at these trends, it would seem easy to conclude that the statists will push us over the Death Horizon before we can stop them. Just look at the "asset forfeiture" policies that have been implemented and are being expanded here in the U.S. Rarely has history afforded such a clear example of a more self-serving, corrupting and counterproductive power and money grab, based on such flimsy reasoning. It would be laughable if it werent for the enormous destructive power of this one policy. Instead, its a growing, life-sucking void that could depress the most pollyannaish people, if they thought about it for too long. But if its true that were approaching an asymptote in the graph of state aggression against the people, it is also true that there is another critical point we are approaching. Understanding of, and appreciation for, the freedom philosophy seems to me to have bottomed out sometime in the early 1970sand when you bottom out, the curve can only take you upward. Objectivists might suggest that this was a time when Rands writings had reached enough people that their changing ideas signaled a change in the intellectual tide. Im not sure Im willing to give that much credit to one thinkerHeinlein certainly reached his share of people!but something sure did happen. Now there are more and more people who understand and seek to apply the freedom philosophy. Every year, there are more pro-market think tanks, more pro-freedom columnists in the newspapers, and even more preachers in the pulpit that understand the moral superiority of laissez faire. Freedom is an idea in ascendancy, an idea whose time, as Marshal Fritz told us some years ago would happen in our lifetimes, is rapidly coming. It was eye-opening when Ronald Reagan used libertarian rhetoric to get electeda crystal clear sign that times had changed in the U.S., even if the necrotic zombie-like systems of the welfare state continued to accelerate their dance with death. If that was eye-opening, then how much more electric a shock for Democratic candidate Bill Clinton to announce that "the era of Big Government is over" and spout Reaganesque rhetoric in order to attract the peoples vote. Many noticed it, but few people seem to have fully grasped the significance of this turn of events, the underlying political realities it implies. And look at the world. Granted that for many its just new rhetoric used for seizing poweror trying desperately to hang on to itbut that doesnt change the fact of the "stampede" toward market mechanisms (as former Coca Cola CEO Roberto C. Goizueta called it) that is occurring around the world. This last needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as from Asia to former Eastern Bloc countries, we can see that few government officials and business people around the globe truly understand, trust, and practice free market capitalism. Instead, the rigged sales of state businesses to party faithful in post-Communist countries and the wholesale propping up of so-called private industries in Asia have put the necks of the local powers-that-be squarely on the chopping block. The corrective cleaver of the market is ready to fall and discipline such foolishness and it will be ugly. However, the point is that Marxist and socialist economic notions and ideologies were shown to the whole world to be utterly bankrupt in this last decade and people by the billions have turned to look elsewhere for new ideas. They may stumble through some trial and error in their search, but they are searching, and they have the

Where? by Sunni Maravillosa The original Star Trek series, despite its flaws, got one thing right: humans love to explore. Since the first caveman wondered what was over the ridge and traversed it to find out, our species has been discovering and exploring new lands, and conquering the challenges they present. Be it withering desert, stormy seas, or bitter cold, humans have endured the worst that nature has hurled, and have not only survived, but thrived in such places. In addition to mastering the physical topography of the planet, adventurers have explored other realms as well. Weve peered at life at microbial levels, witnessed the births and deaths of stars, and unlocked the fearsome power of the atom. Many of these accomplishments were undertaken with rudimentary equipment and no formal techniquethe indomitable drive to know spurred men on. Today, with no knowledge of Galileo, Copernicus, Leeuwenhoek, or Koch, anyone with a modest sum to spend on equipment can explore the heavens, or the protozoans living in a nearby pond. Thanks to the technological contributions of unknown h undreds of men and women, we can inexpensively explore mountains and plains in agonizing cold or ferocious heat, in the comfort of our own vehicles. When Europeans began to settle America, it was a particular kind of person who made the arduous journey, embarking on an uncertain new path. At first, the settlers were outcasts from their own countries, who nevertheless had the determination to succeed. As the country took form and revealed its richesand new possibilities awaiting to the westothers poured into the United States from all over the world. Some were outcasts unpopular in their homeland, but increasingly they were restless souls, unhappy with the numbing tradition of the entrenched way of life in their community. These adventurers recognized the potential this country offered and risked everything for the possibility of finding a better way of life, one that they were free to choose or create. What they shared, however, was a willingness to endure hardship for something in which they believedwhat we would today call rugged individualism, or "the American spirit". Europeans continue to comment on the American spirit, sometimes in admiration but more often in bemusement. Its difficult for one who lives on land thats been owned by his family for hundreds of years, outside of a village that has existed even longer, to understand the American drive to explore, to create, to push every possible boundary. Although this spirit seems to be decreasing somewhat, it remains a striking contrast even today. I have an inchoate theory as to why these differences have come about. I believe that Americans have been "bred" to be more adventurous. Im not suggesting that the differences are purely genetic, although that undoubtedly plays some role in this dynamic. In creating this country, and in its rapid population expansion due to immigration by siphoning off the restless, malcontented, and most ambitious individuals from Europe, the more daring removed themselves from their homelands and their cultures. In essence, whatever genetic makeup our immigrant ancestors may have shared, by coming here and passing it along to their offspring, a society of free-thinkers and doers was also created, which has been perpetuated over the generations. The result is a country which can boast of more achievements and more creators than any other in the last two centuries. While other countries do have notable scientists and innovators, many of them seem to find their way to the United States, in part because of the freedomand encouragementto dream, to explore, to create that they find here. The Stars, Our Destiny The most recent physical frontier explored is space. Russians and Germans wrote about rocketry and space travel and conducted tests, but it was an American, Robert Goddard, who launched the first modern rocket. While it was the Soviet Union that put the first man into space, the American spirit of rising to the challenge led to the first man on the moonand so far, the only projects that have placed men on the moonbeing American. In addition to that accomplishment, much of the technology that made that feat possibletechnology which we use dailywas developed in the US as well. This situation is different from previous explorations in one crucial respect: in both the USSR and US, these endeavors were government-sponsored and financed. Rather than individuals and businesses driving developments, government bureaus and agencies have monopolized this sector of the market, making
[CTRL] Fwd: Russian Satanic Cult
Electronic Telegraph International News Thursday 20 March 1997 Issue 664 Satan cult leaders hunted after teenagers found hanged By Alan Philps in Moscow and Dmitry Belyakov in Tyumen --- RUSSIAN police are searching for the ringleaders of a Satanic cult in western Siberia, after a series of deaths among young devotees. The cult was concentrated near the oil city of Tyumen, 1,400 miles east of Moscow, where five young people were found hanged. The deaths were originally thought to be suicides. But pressure from the parents and the discovery of cabalistic jottings suggest the youths were involved in a seven-stage initiation ceremony that culminated in ritual suffocation. The deaths occurred last year, but the authorities have only now begun to act on evidence that the youths were suffocated before being hung up by leather belts to simulate suicide. The first death was in April, when Denis Abramov, 19, was found hanged in his room at home. In May it was the turn of Dima Bronnikov, 17, and in July, Stas Buslov was found hanged from a tree. Three days later his friend Sergei Sidorov, 18, died in the same manner at home, as did Tanya Stankeyeva, 22, in October. The first death occurred in the village of Roshchino, the other four in Antipovo, both villages on the edge of Tyumen. All the victims used to meet in a basement, which was equipped with a kind of Satanic altar and had walls painted with diabolical signs and cryptic symbols. The police, who have no experience of weird cults and want to keep the crime figures down, originally showed no interest in the deaths. But police captain Sergei Denisov said: "We have now launched an investigation into criminal activity by a Satanist sect. We are looking for the cult leader." Boris Buslov, the father of Stas, has spent months going through diaries left by his son. "I was looking for a suicide note or a hint of why he had hanged himself. When I started to read and decode his diaries it became clear that his death was the result of a cruel cult ritual - or perhaps it was that he knew who killed Dima Bronnikov and they could not let him escape." One of the notes left behind by Stas shows him predicting his own death: a boy is shown hanging from a tree. His father believes that four codenames - Gabriel, Sashiel, Anael and Mikhael - refer to the three dead boys and a fourth member, who has fled the town for fear of death. The mother of Sergei Sidorov said her son admitted to her shortly before his death that he was involved in a cult. "Mama, I'm a Satanist. I know it is bad, but I cannot escape. They are terribly strong." Thanks to contacts in the security services, Mr Buslov discovered that 36 young people aged from 12 to 22 have hanged themselves in Tyumen province (population 700,000) in the past year. While there is no known connection to any cult, the high number of deaths has shaken the whole of western Siberia. A spokesman for the provincial prosecutor's office said: "We may be dealing with a serial killing, though it is not clear if this is murder or incitement to suicide." The leader of the cult is said to be a man in his 40s, who, helped by two younger acolytes, exerted enormous influence on naive provincial children. But, thanks to the tardiness of the police, there seems little chance of catching those responsible. The Orthodox Church originally refused to give the hanged youths a Christian burial, as it regards suicide as a mortal sin. But it has now decided that they are murder victims and will give them a proper burial once the investigations are completed. Churchmen blame the authorities for allowing a post-communist boom in cults - from foreign imports such as the Moonies to home-grown sects such as the Holy Virgin Centre and the White

As I've said, I think the get-Clinton aspect of this is small potatoes. In the big picture of Kangas's site, even Scaife was not a huge player. For example, check out Scaife's CIA connections. Kangas seemed to think he was working on the hidden fabric of American capitalism. Or as somebody else put it: "For the past year or so, Steve was hot on the trail of a major conspiracy theory of his, involving CIA relationships with big business and major conservative foundations. He gave a general outline of his ideas in The Origins of the Overclass. Steve apparently worked on his site until mere days before his death, and had long term plans to turn it into one or more books." he was breaking new ground going beyond what other authors have uncovered. Try reading " Who Rules America" by G. William Dumhoff. That book is somewhat a classic and is now in its third edition. And clearly shows how the rich control every aspect of the government. It There does seem to be a growing consensus in that area. I find it difficult to believe, but certainly plausible. After all, what's Desert Storm really about? Oil. In school we all learned about the US government system of checks and balances. But I think of equal importance is the economic systems of checks and balances, a three-way balance between employer, employee, and government. That pretty much sums up most political debates in the economic arena -- the struggle to shift this balance point. For example, it could be argued that in 1978, the employees had too much power. To me, this seems like a deadly fragile system, because if it gets too far out of balance, all the power and money flows to one end of the scale, -- they attract and cause each other. In theory, the side that is left high and dry would assert itself and grab the power back. But what if the shift was hidden? Let's just keep our eyes open. should also be pointed out here now that the CIA has become involved in economic espionage recently. The French threw a CIA agent out of France for just that in the last decade. Now guess who benefits from that info? The popular support for the Microsoft monopoly suggests to me a bothersome trend to see economics as an ice hockey game or even as war. People need to trade in their lemon-aid stand economic theories for something a bit more realistic. A vindictive, all- seeing Scaife lures Kangas from Las Vegas to Pittsburgh. Lures him to his headquarters, nay, to his very BATHROOM and has him killed in such a way, a la Vince Foster, as to make it seem a suicide. *has* him killed? Seems too sloppy for much pre-meditation. Then he uses his influence with a corrupt Pittsburgh police department to declare it such, a la Park Police. Is that what you're saying? laughin! Who, moi?

[CTRL] [2] AMERICA'S SECRET ARISTOCRACY
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: AMERICA'S SECRET ARISTOCRACY by Stephen Birmingham (C) 1987 Berkley Book, New York, NY 1990 - A very interesting book for details and such. Very well researched and I would reccommend many of Mr. Birmingham's books to any searcher of history. For it is my belief, that by better understanding history, we can see today's course. Om K - 18. Secret Society Only recently a New York woman, who can trace her lineage to the gracious Dutch women who founded Society in New York, gave a dinner for fifty of her friends. Practically all of them came of families antedating the arrival of the British fleet that turned Nieuw Amsterdam into New York. No mention was made of the affair in any paper in New York City, first, because the old regime did not and still does not believe that publicity is necessary to social success, and second, because the city at large has forgotten the families who built it. Yet these families endure, submerged, and women whose ancestors have directed the social life of New York for ten or more generations still continue to entertain and be entertained without the blare of publicity. These words, from Mrs. Joful King Van Rensselaer's book, The Social ladder, were penned in 1924. But they could just as easily, and accurately, have been written in 1987, and about private enclaves of New York gentlemen. Few New Yorkers today are probably aware of the existence, in their very midst, of a small, elite men's club called The Zodiac. It is typical of America's secret aristocracy that The Zodiac should have been created, in a very real sense, in secret, that it should have passed its hundredth anniversary several years ago without anyone but its members knowing, and that even the Social Register- which publishes the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and officers of all the elite clubs in the country-should be unaware of The Zodiac. The Zodiac has no clubhouse, and no address, and no telephone. It has no bylaws and no president, and no list of its members has ever been published. And yet it is easily the most exclusive club in the United States. As its name implies, its membership is restricted, at any given time, to only twelve male members. The Zodiac was founded in the 1870s by the elder J. Pierpont Morgan, and to understand the principles behind The Zodiac it is first necessary to understand Mr. Morgan. J. P. Morgan has enjoyed, for some reason, the worst posthumous reputation of any man in the history of American banking and finance. History has portrayed Morgan as vain, autocratic, stingy, curmudgeonly, and money-mad. He was in fact none of these things. What he was, was an aristocrat to the marrow. When Morgan died in 1913, much was made in the press of the fact that, out of his $69.5 million fortune, only a small portion of his estate about $700,000-was left to charities, giving the impression that the public weal was one of the last things Morgan cared about. What was overlooked was that, during his lifetime, Morgan had contributed vast sums to a wide variety of causes. He was a notable collector of rare books, paintings, and other art objects, and many of these were given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which he was president. Over the years, he had made large financial gifts to this museum, as well as to the American Museum of Natural History, Harvard College (especially to its medical school), the Lying-in Hospital of New York, and the New York trade schools. He was also the principal financial backer of the Groton School, in Massachusetts. It has also been forgotten that, in 1895, when the U.S. Treasury's gold reserves had sunk dangerously low, Morgan's bank loaned the government $62 million in gold to shore up the gold reserves to the $100 million level, thereby supporting the country's currency and averting a financial panic. In his will, furthermore, Morgan stipulated that his son and principal heir, J. P. Morgan, Jr., should make regular annual gifts to designated charities. At the time of Morgan's death, the "huge" size of his fortune was drawn to public attention. In fact, his fortune, though respectable, was far smaller than those of Henry Frick, E. H. Harriman, or Andrew Mellon and even smaller than those of Thomas Fortune Ryan and Payne Whitney. And Morgan's money was as nothing compared with that of the DuPonts or John D. Rockefeller. It was Andrew Carnegie who, commenting with surprise on the quality of Morgan's art collection, said, "And to think-he wasn't even a rich man!" Perhaps Morgan's most famous comment was his laconic reply to a man who asked him how much a yacht cost. "If a man has to ask," he answered, "he can't afford it." At the same time, as an aristocrat who believed that sailing provided the truest test of a man's character, he also once said, "You can do business with anyone, but you can only sail a boat with a gentleman." Also memorable was his humorous reply to a friend who had asked him to

Another thought came beaming into (what's left of) my brain: supposedly the strong vote for Clinton came from the women voters, even this last go-round with Dole, even with all the "womanising" rumours. The best analysis of the whole Clinton psyche-out was on Fox's Beyond the News, moderated by some PhD: there's something that women do but men don't get about him. No man close to Clinton has any good stories (Dick Morris' are usually about Hillary); but each woman just seems to be in a queue, waiting to tell her story. AER From wsws.org WSWS : News Analysis : North America : Clinton Impeachment Right-wing in US mounts new political provocation The Wall Street Journal and Juanita Broaddrick By Barry Grey 27 February 1999 The latest round of scandal-mongering against the White House demonstrates that extreme right-wing elements, backed by the media, are determined to press ahead with their campaign of political destabilization. With the Washington Post and the New York Times providing pre-broadcast publicity, NBC news on Wednesday night aired a thirty-minute interview during prime time with the latest Clinton accuser, Juanita Broaddrick. The Arkansas businesswoman has suddenly emerged on the national scene with sensational--and utterly uncorroborated--allegations that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her 21 years ago. Of particular significance in the Broaddrick episode is the role of the Wall Street Journal. The Journal was the first establishment news outlet to break the story, publishing a lengthy interview with Broaddrick on its editorial pages on February 19. Editor Robert Bartley and writer Dorothy Rabinowitz made no bones that they were vouching for the truth of Broaddrick's allegations, highlighting in enlarged type their view that "this was an event that took place." Rabinowitz was chosen to write the interview in an effort to lend credibility to Broaddrick's story. Notwithstanding her right-wing views, Rabinowitz earned a certain stature within journalistic circles for a series of articles she published in the Wall Street Journal and Harper's magazine some years ago exposing high profile cases in which people were convicted and jailed on false charges of child abuse. Ironically, her defense of these frameup victims was based on exposing the allegations against them as consisting of precisely the type of unsubstantiated charges that she is now supporting in Broaddrick's attack on Clinton. Bartley had to publish the interview on the Journal's editorial pages, which he controls, because the Journal's news editors refused to carry the story. They judged it to be lacking the minimal basis in fact and corroboration required to bring it before the public. Such was the odor of slander given off by the Journal's interview with Broaddrick that three days after its appearance, Bartley felt obliged to publish an editorial protesting the reluctance of other media outlets, including his own paper's news pages, to publicize the rape allegation. The Journal's role in promoting the Broaddrick story is nothing new. Its editorial pages have supplied the main ideological ammunition for the political destabilization drive that began within weeks of Clinton's taking office in 1993. The Journal led the character assassination campaign against Clinton aide Vincent Foster, which Foster cited in his suicide note as the thing that drove him over the edge. Then the Journal turned around and initiated the "Who Killed Foster?" editorial campaign, implying that Clinton had his long-time friend and political associate bumped off. The Journal set the tone for the rest of the media, avidly promoting every piece of salacious gossip and sexual innuendo that it could throw against the White House, culminating in the Moncia Lewinsky scandal, all the while insisting that Clinton's alleged crimes were "not about sex." Such denials notwithstanding, one of its editorial campaigns centered on the demand for the publication of Clinton's medical files, which Bartley hoped would reveal a history of venereal disease. Now, in the wake
[CTRL] Freemasonry in Egypt
-Caveat Lector- from: prioryofsion digest 454 http://www.onelist.com The mailing list resource page can be found at the following address http://www.albino.com/circle/pos/ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 06:37:55 EST From: xx Subject: Freemasonry in Egypt Thought I would pass this along From a current Cairo press clipping. Last month in Jordan, a prestigious lineup of Western leaders led by President Clinton and three former US presidents paid their last respects to King Hussein. While deductions as to why they had all turned up was disputed live on national TV from Bangkok to Cape Town, one inference was however passed by. That the wily king may have also been a Prince of Jerusalem, one of the highest titles conferred by Freemasons. Whether or not Hussein visited Masonic lodges and took part in their rituals is unknown, yet there are persistent claims in certain circles that he was an honorary Grand Master. Not peculiar for a monarch who spent most of his reign juggling alliances, some of them treacherous. As a Freemason, he would have kept excellent company for, besides the Mozarts, Goethes and Garibaldis, most of Europe's royals and several former American presidents including its incumbent vice-president, are professedly on the Masonic roster. But wait a minute! King Hussein Ibn Talal, far from being a Westerner, was a descendant of the Prophet. How could a Moslem notable of his standing become an alleged member of a secret society with origins in the heartland of a 17th century Judeo- Christian Europe?! Adapting the Big Bang theory to Freemasonry, we discover that the French Revolution and subsequent Napoleonic Wars accounted for the dissemination of the Society outside its known borders. Which is why by the late 19th century, Masonic lodges were scattered across the Ottoman Empire, from Constantinople where Young Turks were beguiled by the secretive brotherhood, to Greater Syria and Egypt where emerging nationalists aped their European assailant in their inherent opposition to autocratic authority. In Egypt, Freemasonry imploded into feuding camps: Anglo-Saxon and French, ostensibly reflecting the dual imperialistic control --military and cultural-- which had entrenched itself along the Nile Valley. A favorite Masonic hall south of the Levant was Kawkab al-Shark-- Star of the East. Somehow, its propinquity to after-life symbolism conjured up echoes of the cult of Isis and Osiris giving it a distinct character and flavor. Lodges evidencing Ancient Egyptian names included Sphinx, New-Memphis, Pyramids and Cheops. The distinction of first modern Freemason in Egypt goes to General Kleber, the luckless man left behind by Napoleon to govern the "Oriental Empire. Since that time and up until April 1964, Freemasonry continued uninterruptedly in Egypt. What had started as a secret movement, eventually came out in the open as evidenced by notices in newspapers, the social pages and other forms of printed media. Historians may assent however, Freemasonry in Egypt came out of the closet during the Orabi Revolt of 1882. That Ahmed Orabi Pasha was himself a member of the Order was never proven, yet we know that several of his supporters were. Part of a budding oligarchy, they joined the Society in an attempt to penetrate an impregnable ruling class guarded jealously by Mohammed Ali's descendants and their Circassian entourage. Consequently, when the khedive's men arrested the sartujar (head of traders guild) of Sharkia charging him with conspiring against the state and supporting Ahmed Orabi with money and the like, it was a Freemason barrister from London who took up his defense. Nevertheless, the British-led kangaroo court in Cairo declared Orabi and his Freemason supporters guilty as charged --they had dared ask for the substitution of khedivial absolutism with a more representative government. While Orabi was exiled to the crown colony of Ceylon, the sartujar and other Orabi sympathizers were sentenced to imprisonment and fines ranging from LE 1,000 to LE 5,000. The situation turned on the British several decades later with the arrival of Mohammed Farid and Saad Zagloul. Self-declared Freemasons they respectively headed the National and Wafd parties which called for popular uprisings against Egypt's Anglo-Saxon occupiers. With time, inter and intra-Freemasonry rivalries increased in proportion to the numbers of halls and lodges that surfaced all over Egypt. Scottish, French, Italian and English halls operated side by side with the National Grand Lodge of Egypt. There was even talk of a Masonic cemetery in Old Cairo to be shared with free-thinkers and intellectuals. Among the most important halls within Masonic circles in Cairo were the Grecia and Bulwer lodges overlooking Midan Ismail (today, MidanTahrir). The Egyptian Gazette dated 9 January 1903, states that "the new Masonic Hall [used by both lodges] comprises a commodious and handsome lodge-room capable

-Caveat Lector- Israel Messianic Expectations, Freemasons Temple Mount Antichrist 2000 ISRAEL THE COMING MESSIAH Referring to the book of Daniel, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) of the Royal Society of England revealed the Rosicrucian plan to "bring Jesus down" in the year 2000 A.D. http://www.mat.auckland.ac.nz/~king/Preprints/book/proph/prophecy.htm "Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. "...The last missing week: 62+7+1=70 starts in 1996 and runs for 7 years. Half-way through - in 2000 we bring down Jesus causing the sacrifice to cease: "Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." Historian of the Rosicrucian Enlightenment, Frances Yates wrote of Newton's interest in Hebraic studies: "Newton's historical attitudes, his intense preoccupation with apocalyptic prophecy, would have made him intensely aware of the apocalyptic interpretations of the near extinction of Protestantism in Europe ...The approach to Newton through Rosicrucian alchemy might help, not only to unify his physical and alchemical studies, but also to integrate with these the Hebraic piety behind his historical studies." (p. 205) Kabbalah, the secret doctrine of the Rosicrucians, also describes the Messianic Kingdom as a period of forced conversions of the Gentiles to Judaism. We know from occult sources and from Scripture that there will be a counterfeit fulfillment of Bible prophecy so convincing that even the elect might be deceived, if that were possible. (Matt. 24:24) Are Christians presently being conditioned for future conversion to Judaism via the Hebrew Roots and Messianic Movements? http://watch.pair.com/HRM.html ] Scripture indicates that the strong delusion will arise out of MYSTERY BABYLON, the harlot religion, which has been narrowly interpreted by many Protestants as the Roman Catholic Church. While it is true that the Great Harlot sits upon the seven mountains of Rome (Rev. 17:9), there is abundant evidence that the Vatican has been infiltrated and is now under the firm control of the Freemasonic syndicate. This is documented in books such as David Yallop's expose of the 1978 murder of the current Pope's predecessor, Pope John Paul I by the P2 Lodge - In God's Name. Some of the more traditional Catholic publications, such as the March 1998 issue of Real Catholicism by Carey J. Winter, provide a most interesting history of the Masonic takeover of the Vatican. "The Catholic Church and Globalism" contains well - documented facts which are familiar to many Catholics, but unknown to most Protestants: "The ultimate aim of the Freemasonic craft, according to Paul Fisher, is 'the overthrow of all spiritual and political tyranny so that there will be a universal social republic.' (Behind the Lodge Door, p. 40). [Solange] Hertz maintains that this Revolution 'was disseminated in Europe largely by Sephardic Jews acting through secret societies ' (Utopia, p. 64). Fisher cites James Billingtons observation that 'so great, indeed, was the general impact of Freemasonry in the revolutionary era that some understanding of the Masonic Milieu seems an essential starting point for any serious inquiry into the occult roots of the revolutionary tradition (cited in Lodge Door, p. 218)...' "'The honest man,' writes Fr. Wathen, 'cannot help seeing that the last three Popes (omitting all mention of Pope John Paul I) have contributed positively, powerfully and directly toward fulfilling the Masonic program for the radical transformation of the Church.' (Ascend, p. 424). Oxfort concludes that the Popes of Vatican II, 'beginning with John XXIII, have systematically betrayed the great body of Catholic Social Doctrine that was established...on Rerum Novarum... Paul VI's 'development' which is the new name for peace' ...means the merging of the 'two opposing blocs of the superpowers into a vast, collectivist gulag. And the conciliar Church is the principle instrument to bring this unification of the whole human race about, because she is the 'sacrament and sign...of all mankind' (Lumen Gentium 1).' "...What separates the authentic Catholic Social Doctrine from the evil illusions of the Popes of the catastrophic Vatican II is this: the former is centered on Jesus Christ, the Divine Redeemer of the world from all its social ills. The Popes of Vatican II, on the other hand, center their heresies on 'modern man' and, as the Revolution demands, relate 'all things on earth' to 'man as their center and crown.

[CTRL] ANDREWS, N.C. UPDATE: February 27, 1999
-Caveat Lector- ANDREWS, N.C. UPDATE: FED LIES, MILITARY INVOLVEMENT DOCUMENTED, AND MORE... by Joe 6Pk Burton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) February 27, 1999 Why was there a quiet, going away party for the FBI's Terry Terchie and his assistant? Why did Terchie lie about a "Special State of Emergency " being declared in North Carolina? Did Philip Rogers shine at a military chopper operating in violation of Posse Comitatus? Has the shooter into the compound been allowed to quietly return to Andrews? Why? Why are we just now hearing about the suspension of Miranda in a recent DOJ case? These are just a few of the questions I'll try to answer for you, in this report. It has really bothered me since Agent Terchie told the "big lie" about the Special State of Emergency being declared in western North Carolina. (Not that a lying FBI is anything new, reference, Waco, Ruby Ridge, the infamous lab and too many other cases to list.) I wondered, why the FBI illegally confiscated Ramon Sparks' helicopter photos, after he was brutalized, illegally detained and had his vehicle illegally searched w/o warrant. All for the simple act of driving his neighbor, Philip Rogers to the Police station to surrender for allegedly, shining a toy laser on a chopper. In the police station parking lot, both men were brutalized. Do we now dispense justice to the accused during an arrest and prior to a trial in AmeriKa? This event just so happened to occur minutes after the Feds compound/fire base was fired into. And merely a day after the feds had denied their choppers were the ones harassing Citizens, saying their choppers were unable to fly at night. Rogers recently refused a plea agreement with the feds for his alleged prank. He was arrested, but not read the Miranda rights and was assigned to a probation officer and sent for a drug test upon release from jail, all with- out even being tried and convicted. His charges should have been immediately dropped. He was incarcerated with many North Carolinians who had been in jail for some time, who had never been read their Miranda. Of course we never heard this from the media. Only recently have they mentioned one unrelated case where the DOJ feels they didn't have to use Miranda. Yet it's been happening in Andrews for nearly a year. Sometimes as I write this and am aware of the facts, it's hard for me to believe this is still America. Now let me clear up the dispute as to whether Rogers interfered with a federal agent or a military operation, operating outside the bounds of Posse Comitatus under Terchie's command. Documented copies I obtained from Ramon, show a clear picture of what has been an ongoing illegal law-enforce- ment/joint military operation foisted on the Citizens of Andrews and America. (see footnotes) Never were the medivac choppers to be used in law enforcement activity. They were for the extraction of injured agents from the rough terrain - - Not to be used for gung ho agents to repel and train for military/law enforcement maneuvers - - And also not for use against the citizenry in carrying out law enforcement activities. Do we still have the rule of law in this country or not? It is truly a sad day for America, to see FEMA and the Dept. of Justice commanding and leading our individual state National Guard and Reserves in operations used against "We the People." Strange, I thought our nations framers designed a country where the government was to serve the people and we were to have sovereign states. Am I that bad at remembering my history lessons, or has something sinister happened to our nation? Should not we as Citizens rein in these tyrants and expose their evil deeds? Do we have any redress left in this country? America, love it or FIX IT, I say! Now let's examine some of the implications here besides the obvious Posse Comitatus violations, in the use of the military choppers and crews against the Citizens. The FBI/HRT trains with Delta Force and others. Can FBI not afford their own choppers for evacuating injured agents? I can assure you money is no object in this unlimited budget operation. Instead we see an emergence, training and practice of combining law enforcement/military into one operation. We also see here, one State Governor willing to send his National Guard personnel and equipment into the state of another to serve the Federal Government. In this case Ga. into NC. They get good training and indoctri- nation of military, as well as law enforcement personnel, into working together by combining them into a new buzz word MJTF. This word now used commonly in military and law enforcement circles (i.e., Southeast Bomb Task Force or SBTF). Apparently, giving Agent Terchie or someone, the ability to order military assets against "We the People." And why not, these agents haven't read a copy of the Constitution since high school. If you mention Posse Comitatus they look at you with a blank look. They don't recall that one. It's also a prime opportunity to

-Caveat Lector- Satellite seizure, blackmail reported By Reuters - Special to CNET News.com February 28, 1999, 7:35 a.m. PT LONDON -- Hackers have reportedly seized control of one of Britain's military communication satellites and issued blackmail threats. The Sunday Business newspaper, quoting security sources, reported today that the intruders altered the course of one of Britain's four satellites used by defense planners and military forces around the world. The sources said the satellite's course was changed just over two weeks ago. The hackers then issued a blackmail threat, demanding money to stop interfering with the satellite, according to the report. "This is a nightmare scenario," one intelligence source said. Military strategists said that, if Britain were to come under nuclear attack, an aggressor would first interfere with military communications systems. "This is not just a case of computer nerds mucking about. This is very, very serious, and the blackmail threat has made it even more serious," a security source said. Police said they would not comment because the investigation was at too sensitive a stage. The Ministry of Defense made no comment. .

It emerges alongside the assertion that the American people, by refusing to support Clinton's removal, have proven themselves immoral and unfit for democratic self-rule. This view is, in reality, an inversion of the true situation, in which the broad mass of working people, who take democratic rights seriously, are stubbornly resisting the efforts of significant sections of the political and business establishment to undermine those rights. The depravity which Bartley projects onto the people is, in fact, an increasingly predominant feature of the social elite for which he speaks. It is bourgeois politics that has sunk to a debased level, so degraded, in fact, that the politics of right-wing conspiracy and coup are tolerated as legitimate. It seems to me that "the broad mass of working people" either believe what they see on TV or think that a deal was made and the Congress is as corrupt as Clinton.

[CTRL] How the IRS Controls Christian Churches
-Caveat Lector- How the IRS Controls Christian Churches by Texe Marrs http://www.texemarrs.com/ Does the IRS hate the Gospel and despise Bible-believing Christians? Has the IRS become a police-state agency that regularly persecutes churches, pastors, and ministries that still believe in old-fashioned patriotism? Listed below are 35 things the IRS contends are prohibited of churches and ministries. A pastor or ministry leader who violates the guidelines of the IRS on these 35 prohibitions can have his church or group's tax exemption revoked and be dealt with harshly by the IRS. These 35 prohibitions on churches and ministries demonstrate how the IRS and the federal government now control churches and insure politically and religiously "correct" behavior. Liberal Christian churches and false religions such as Hunduism, Witchcraft, and Scientology are not affected by these rules--only Bible-believing, Christian ministries and churches. Also, keep in mind: These 35 things are not prohibited by law nor by the Constitution. The IRS considers itself above the law and the Constitution. According to the IRS, Christian churches, ministries, and organizations may not: 1. Expose conspiracies. 2. Criticize the New World Order. 3. Say or publish anything negative about any politician, Republican or Democrat. 4. Criticize government agencies and bureaus--the IRS, FBI, BATF, CIA, EPA, DEA, OSHA, DOJ, etc. 5. Criticize an institution of government such as the White House, the Congress, the Federal Reserve Board, or the Supreme Court. 6. Encourage citizens to call or write their congressman, senator, governor, mayor, or other public official. 7. Criticize any proposed or pending bill or legislation that would take away the rights and freedoms of the people. 8. Make disparaging remarks about, or criticize, any other faith group, cult, or religion. 9. Expose or criticize the New Age Movement. 10. Support or encourage a law-abiding citizen's militia. 11. Support or encourage the Second Amendment, the right of the people to keep and bear arms. 12. Discourage young women from getting an abortion, or endorse the pro-life movement. 13. Teach that abortion, especially partial birth abortion, is murder and is the killing of innocent babies. 14. Identify homosexuality as a sin and an abomination to God. 15. Express an opinion on any subject or issue. 16. Appeal to peoples' emotions by employing an evangelization method (such as "fire and brimstone" preaching) not considered a "reasoned approach" by the IRS. 17. Discuss or identify threats to Christianity. 18. Discuss subjects or topics the IRS deems "sensationalist." 19. Criticize well-known public figures or institutions the IRS deems "worthy", such as the super-rich elite, international bankers, the Hollywood movie industry, etc. 20. Publish or broadcast information on any topic without giving credence to the opposing viewpoints of Christ's enemies. 21. Publish and offer books, tapes, or products that expose the elitist plot against humanity and God. 22. Criticize the Pope or the Vatican, or contrast the New Catholic Catechism with the tuths found in the Holy Bible. (Note: only liberal churches are permitted by the IRS to criticize the Catholic Church). 23. Criticize the United Nations or such globalist groups as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, and the Trilateral Commission. 24. Criticize the Masonic Lodge, the Order of Skull Bones, or other Secret societies. 25. Highlight or otherwise bring attention to immorality of public officials or corruption in government. 26. Complain of government wrongdoing or injustice, such as happened at Waco, Ruby Ridge, and elsewhere. 27. Criticize the Jewish ADL or other Jewish lobby groups. 28. Say anything positive about the "religious right" or the "patriot movement." 29. Support home schooling, home churches, or unregistered churches. 30. Spend money on missionary projects or charitable causes not approved by the IRS. 31. Promote or encourage alternative healthcare (herbs, vitamins, etc.). 32. Expose false teachings of any kind by anyone. 33. Support or encourage persecuted Christians suffering under anti-Christian regimes in Red China, Cuba, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and elsewhere. 34. Ordain a pastor whose training or qualifications are not approved by the IRS. 35. Advocate or teach any Bible doctrine that is politically or religiously incorrect, or is inconsistent with any "public policy" (abortion, feminism, gay rights, etc.) currently being enforced by the IRS. Please examine the above list of 35 prohibitions on Christian free speech and activity by the IRS, and decide for yourself: Are conservative Christian ministries and churches being selectively persecuted? Is the IRS willfully violating the civil rights of Christian believers? Are Christian believers receiving the equal protection of the law? What does the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
[CTRL] Americans Urged To Stock Up Before Y2K Strikes
-Caveat Lector- Sunday February 28 3:06 PM ET Americans Urged To Stock Up Before Y2K Strikes By Adam Entous WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans should prepare for the year 2000 computer bug like they would a hurricane, by stocking up on canned food and bottled water in case vital services are cut off, senators leading a congressional study of the problem said Sunday. Global trade could also be disrupted because major U.S. trading partners, including Japan and oil producers Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, may not be able to address the computer glitch in time, Utah Republican Sen. Robert Bennett and Connecticut Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd said. ``This problem is real,'' Bennett, chairman of the Senate's special committee on the so-called Y2K problem, told CBS's ''Face the Nation.'' ``This will not be the end of the world as we know it. But we have to stay on top of it.'' The problem is that many computers as now configured cannot recognize the year 2000. To save expensive disk space, early programmers tracked dates with only the last two numbers of the year. If not fixed, many computers will read ``00'' as 1900. That could cause many computers to crash or generate errors come Jan. 1, 2000. Bennett and Dodd, who is vice chairman of the Senate's Y2K committee, are expected to release their report on the computer problem Tuesday. According to a draft copy of the report, the nation's airports started preparations too late, and shipments of goods and services by sea could be disrupted because the maritime industry was running behind. ``It's not unwise for people to do a little stockpiling,'' Dodd told NBC's ``Meet the Press.'' He said people should buy bottled water, canned goods and other essentials as they might to prepare for a ``good storm, a hurricane'' that would last two to three days. Dodd said people should also keep copies of their financial records in case banks run into unforeseen problems. But he said that banking problems were unlikely. There was no need for people to buy electricity generators or stockpile propane because a prolonged nationwide blackout was unlikely, Bennett said. The committee's draft report added that due to limited resources and a lack of awareness, rural and inner-city hospitals across the United States would be at high risk. It said more than 90 percent of doctors' offices had yet to address the problem. The draft report concluded that more serious problems could strike other countries, including some major U.S. trading partners far behind in Y2K readiness. ``Planes will not fall out of the sky, but disruption of flights and global trade between some areas and countries may occur,'' the draft report said. The committee singled out major oil producers Venezuela and Saudi Arabia for failing to prepare for the computer glitch. Japan and Mexico were also at serious risk, along with France, Germany, Brazil, Italy and Spain, according to the report. Bennett and Dodd said the U.S. nuclear arsenal appeared to be safe, but the computer bug could cause weapons systems in other countries to malfunction. Dodd said it was critical that Russia, Pakistan, India, China and other nations work together on the problem. But both senators said there was no way to tell how serious the disruptions would be. ``When we get to New Year's Eve, everybody, no matter how informed we think we are, is going to be holding his breath,'' Bennett said.

And I do not correct my spelling, because I simply do not want to take the time. I do not have a spellchecker on this web - but I do have an IQ of 145 - whats yours? I was told my fourth grade IQ score was 145 by a highschool counselor who implied that it was much higher at the time she was telling me, but for some reason was precluded from telling me my current score. But all the IQ test shows is how good you are at taking tests...but at least I can spell... You seem to judge people by the buck, do you not. Far from it...YOU were the one who made the point that you were 'lowly' even with your 'high IQ' and speedy typing...implying that YOU are the one who judges people by their salary, not their accomplishments and intrinsic worth. If I insulted your integrity -fine. If I insulted your mother or someone, that would be different. It always made me laugh, however, to see all these big, bad men at their computers, who could not type; yet, some knew, the entire world would someday operate on a keyboard of some type or another. Your point being...? No - I do not need anybody to correct my English or my spelling. I would do so myself, but it really doesn't matter. The fact that you feel it does not matter perhaps explains why you continue to find yourself working in a 'lowly' position, even with your supposedly high IQ and quick typing speed...you could be in a much higher position if you valued spelling and grammar... I would like to mention the day I saw the light was in a bank; you had the servant controlling the masters.The hired help knew how to operate the computer, while the bank president could not. And why SHOULD he (or she)? It's not the president's job to perform the nitty-gritty duties, but to see the bigger picture...the WORST execs I've ever worked for were the ones who refused to MANAGE and instead insisted on still trying to do the day-to-day nuts-and-bolts operations... So why ain't you rich, you camel lipped jerk. As a woman alone, I have done pretty well. I'm a woman alone, too...never been described as 'camel lipped', whatever THAT means... Not that the shape or color of my lips should have ANY bearing on the subject of this thread... I am now retired, I'm not surprised...no one's typed 120 wpm since the 60s... but we were taught to appreciate good music, good art, good drinks, and I have always held in contempt those who sat at a computer trying to be a genius, when in fact, they were just playing the role of a misplaced genius, who for some reason or another, got stuck behind a keyboard and could not type.

[CTRL] Memories: True or False?
-Caveat Lector- About Juanita: Firstly, I wasn't there when whatever happened between her and Billio happened. Secondly, being "skeptical" does not automatically mean "disbelieving", of or on either side. I am mostly skeptical about the timing and the motivation, if timing WAS the motivation or the motivation WAS timing (think about "DeLay"). So, I went (like the fellow in the bookstore who's part of the ATT I-Net commerical) searching and searching for information on "repressed memories". And. Lo and behold, I found a bunch of stuff -- pro con, for youngsters oldsters, this that. Loftus plays big in this area of concentration: Feminista (where the whole article is) discusses her as does Al-Kurdi. I included the reference to the religioustolerance.org for two reasons: 1) It had information on "repressed memories". 2) As they state, ""Some faith groups explain their own beliefs about abortion, physician assisted suicide, and capital punishment. We explain all sides."" I liked the "all sides" part. So, the researching of someone else's recollections for the specificity of information relating to certain events -- in the case of Juanita Billio any others with whom I am NOT personally acquainted nor a witness to events in and of their lives -- such researching is THEIR business. Except, of course, for the odd case that everyone seems to be recollecting at about the same time. From http://www.towardfreedom.com/may98/messing.htm Messing with Our Minds With links to CIA mind control experts and accused child abusers, the false memory movement turns "blaming the victim" into a science HUSAYN AL-KURDI A quiet but brutal war is being waged on the victims of child abuse, including sexual and even ritual abuse. The battlefields include academia, the courts, professional groups, and society in general. In some cases, the aggressors are the same people accused of perpetuating the violence. They've banded together, forming networks and support groups, most notably the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF), which discounts recollections of abuse recovered in later years, making survivors look like complainers and trauma therapists sound like quacks. Unfortunately, the Foundation has many psychotherapists on the run. Several lawsuits have already ended with judgments in favor of alleged perpetrators, and the resulting chilling effect has dampened the willingness of some mental health professionals to treat victims, especially those claiming ritual abuse. If you browse the Internet these days, you're apt to find regional or local groups started by survivors of childhood torture and/or abuse. The list includes the International Council on Cultism and Ritual Trauma, based in Dallas, Texas; Mothers Against Sexual Abuse in Monrovia, California; Survivors and Victims Empowered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and the San Francisco-based Survivorship. Meanwhile, researchers such as Alex Constantine, Walter H. Bowart, and Dick Farley conduct valuable research on the FMSF. Despite such scrutiny and the seriousness of the problem, however, advocates for false memory (also known as repressed memory) syndrome dominate cyberspace and have received far more favorable coverage in the mainstream media. Ironically, it turns out that the Foundation itself has extensive connections to another group that has indulged in extensive experimentation on human beings - the Central Intelligence Agency. Although better known for overseas operations that serve the interests of corporate and financial elites - euphemistically described as protecting "national security" - the Agency also has a sordid history of domestic mind control experimentation. Its interest in this field runs parallel with elite concern about how to control the thinking of US citizens. The fear among policymakers that we might take control of our own destinies is almost as deep as their terror that, without US intervention, people in other parts of the world might go their own way. It should come as no surprise, then, that long-time CIA and "intelligence complex" operatives turn up on the FMSF Advisory Board. Perhaps the most public member has been Dr. Louis Joylon "Jolly" West, a legendary figure in CIA mind control circles operating out of UCLA. Another is Dr. Martin Orne, an authority on torture who currently works at the University of Pennsylvania's Experimental Psychiatry Lab. While studying the effects of over 16 biochemical warfare agents until the early 1970s, Orne considered the effectiveness of choking, blistering, and vomiting agents, toxins, poison gas, and various incapacitating chemicals. During the same period, he also worked with the Cornell University-based Human Ecology Fund, sharing his findings with Dr. Even Cameron, who was then based at the McGill University Allen Institute in Montreal. At Human Ecology, electroshock, lobotomies, drugs, incapacitants, hypnosis, sleep deprivation, and radio control of the brain were

I thought that she had not said anything previously because of fear of retribution. Am I mistaken about this? Has she made claims that this was the case? My impression was that she thought it was safe to come out with the truth at this time because she thought that Clinton was going to lose his potential power over her and that that was why she felt safe in coming out with the story now.

I do not care about his sex life...I only know he seems to care about the American people. Yeah, "seems to care" is the proper response, because in actual fact he does not. His backing of NAFTA, WTO, the EU and his selling to the Chinese advanced equipment and technology PROVE that he cares nothing for the people of this country. Not to mention that he cares nothing for the Constitution and private property, and individual freedoms. I don't like any of the other bums either, but let's not go on supporting a ridiculous sell out, by saying "he cares". He supports the ultr-rich and ultra-powerful corporations just as well if not better than the Presidents who came before him. So PLEASE, PLEASE, SPARE me the "Clinton cares" BULLSHIT!
