Subject: Child Slaves  Sadism in Arabia


Child Slaves  Sadism in Arabia:  In United Arab Emirates [Dubai/Abu Dhabi]
there is a popular pastime of racing camels. The camels have one jockey
sitting on top of them, and a small Pakistani boy tied low on the right hand
side, just behind the jockey. The jockey uses the live Pakistani child to
create shrill screams so that the camel runs faster. This is accomplished by
the jockey lashing the boy with a cane and then when the boy starts to
scream
like a scared animal, the camel is also scared and runs fast. All this is
watched by a disconcerned audience sitting away on a stand, and they are all
interested only in the outcome of their camel race.  The Pakistani children
are bought in Pakistan by "exporters" working for the Arabs at the going
rate
of Rs. 20,000 per boy, equivalent to U.S. $ 400. They buy any boy aged 6 to
12 years, preferring ordinary boys from poor, neglected, helpless family
environments, so that nobody comes to ask about their whereabouts once they
have been physically assaulted and killed by their Arab owners. Since this
is
a business, where money is to be made, the child-traders are from the
Balouchi, the Pakhtoon, and the Panjabi communities. The Panjabi community
is
the dominant money people in Pakistani culture and control all policies and
habits.  Once a contingent of the children arrives the children are taken to
a wash place and washed and given new clothing. Then, they are taken to
residences and put to rest in rooms. Later, at night, when they are
sleeping,
they are visited by hordes of Arabs who choose their quarry for the night,
and subject the children to homosexual sex. This on occasion is brought to
the attention of the local police but the local police does not think it is
anything worth bothering. Nothing actually happens in the territory, and the
police does not want to bother with any purpose. The weather is dry and hot,
and the mind is careless.  Not surprisingly, it is not unusual in Arab
society to physically attack or punish a live human being who is poor and
helpless. In Pakistani society there is a masochistic need among certain
types of people to physically beat children and poor helpless people. The
society is so aware of this type of person they immediately shut down in
front of any "officer" of the governing class, or any "landowner/landlord"
type they encounter, because the ordinary public can be suddenly attacked
and
injured by a puncher gang that these ruling people keep for the purpose of
establishing territorial and subjectorial rule.  Arabs quote in no uncertain
terms their right to have "slaves" given to them by God, and to have sex
with
them.  If a slave runs away from the "master" he or she is  to be hounded,
and attacked and killed as soon as found out. In Heaven, these Arabs are
promised beautiful looking boys. So, being an attacker-gay is not a crime in
their view.  In the towns of AL-Khobar and Dammam, young Pakistani girls
from
poor families were brought in to tutor and teach at a Pakistani Community
School. They were given lowest salaries and harassed and molested. The
leader
of this project is Malik Abbas and his cohort the Pakistani Ambassador to
Saudi Arabia.  In Saudi, a white foreigner will make a salary like US $ 5000
per month, but an Asian will get US $ 300 per month for the same job.
Before,
the salary scale of Pakistanis and Arabs was same, it was lessened
considerably for the Pakistanis by the decision of the Pakistani ambassador.
Now, virtually all Pakistani workers live in barracks like animals and have
to behave like slaves. An Arab or a Pakistani will also say that God made
diamonds and rubies and money and gives to those He likes, and the poor He
dislikes and so keeps them that way. A God who designed Jupiter, Saturn and
the whole wide Universe has no purpose being involved in human monetary
system and economic crimes. The economic system is created by groups of
human
beings who are mostly gangsters.  In religious practice, anybody who brought
any technical training for cleansing of character is stopped, thus the
religion exists only as a dogma and does not offer any education. If you
read
all the books by the Wahabi sect you will come out believing that there is
no
God, since towards the end they do not allow anyone any prayer or  asking
from God for any help as they declare that God does not exist and will show
Himself only at the Day of Judgment.  The biggest joy in the heart of an
Arab
is to see someone who spoke truth die in front of him.So, these people
sometimes brutally attack a servant maid girl from Pakistan, or far-east
Asia, and a horde of them fuck her for days, until they have had their fill
and want to create another type of incident. Their

 Joshua2,
 Because I don't know what to do about it. Voting is the American answer
 to tyranny, at least that is what I was taught all my life.  I now learn
 we often choose between two tyrants or degenerates or whatever.  We have
 no political leadership.  I have come to think elections are a farce to
 keep the sheeple calm.

Congratulations Amelia. You have made the toughest breakthrough. It's
hard to deal with because no one likes to admit that they can be so
easily fooled so successfully duped, for so long. Take heart though
you
will learn a lot.

 The Secet Service may be the Clinton's "trained
 pigs" as they say but we are the trained sheep.  The rot is so deep and
 entrenched and established that it will take a miracle to get us out of
 it now.

I'm afraid not. It will take effort to help others understand that the
fix depends on them. The current empire are in a state of decline. The
New World Order is a failure economically, and they are overextended
militarily. This makes them very dangerous. They will try to hang on
to
the crumbling potential for world dominance. The more desperate they
get,
the more chances they'll take.

The dismantling of Yugoslavia is an example of that. NATO could come
out of this looking like a paper tiger. They have painted themselves
into
a corner where they must crush Yugoslavia decisively. It's not at all
certain that they will be able to do that without looking like
butchers.
Pretty soon now the refugees will not be an issue.


 But we didn't know.  We weren't stupid or not looking or paying
 attention.

Don't blame yourself too much. You never really had a chance. It's
like a punchout between Mike Tyson and Spike Lee. The citizens are
Spike
Lee. The Government together with an awesomely powerful combination of
commercial communications, polling, and advertising industry, are Mike
Tyson.

 We were so honest as a society that I don't think anyone
 could conceive of the evil being perpetrated on us.


I wouldn't say honest. Americans are the world's greatest thieves.
In many ways they have legalized and institutionalized theft. Taxes
and price controls in the hands of businessmen for example. The
resources
of the state are stolen through legal bribery for the benefit of the
rich. " Behind every great fortune is a crime." Said some smart
sociologist.

 I still don't
 understand it.  Why destroy the greatest democracy/republic on earth
 because the powers that be dictate it? And the NWO is to reduce us to
 third world or below level. This smells of jealousy and will sooth the
 have-not sheeple of the world.

Not true. This is entirely wrong. The NWO are the world's rich elites
led
by America's and Western Europe's rich elites. Period! Mostly
America's.

 We have all heard "America is great
 because she is good."

Once she was good for a wide variety of people ( not counting the
Indians.)
But as the rich have incrementally accumulated more and more wealth
and
power they have been able to direct the " goodness " of the country
towards
themselves. That doesn't leave all that much for everyone else to
partake
of. That's why we'll pay for their war with Social Security money.

 So what are we now--not so good any more.  It is
 troubling to say the least.
 The powder box solution would only cause more destruction and the ballot
 box one hasn't done anything but make it worse.

Don't vote! It's the only way to beat them at the polls. If you are
stupid
enough to vote for a Democrat or a Republican, you will deserve what
you
get. There is no significant difference between them. The entire
political
system is owned and operated by the corporate rich. At this point, no
one
needs convincing anymore.

 The prayer aspect may
 be all we have at this late date

Prayer and miracles don't change politics in the real world.

  we have a lot of blood on our hands
 to expect a rescue there but it  is my hope that our basic goodness will
 come through in the end.

- Wednesday, 7 April 1999 -

Heralded by the global media as a humanitarian peace-keeping mission, NATO's
ruthless bombing of Belgrade and Pristina goes far beyond the breach of
international law.  While Slobodan Milosevic is demonised, portrayed as a
remorseless dictator, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is upheld as a
self-respecting nationalist movement struggling for the rights of ethnic
Albanians.  The truth of the matter is that the KLA is sustained by organised
crime with the tacit approval of the United States and its allies.

Following a pattern set during the War in Bosnia, public opinion has been
carefully misled.  The multibillion dollar Balkans narcotics trade has played
a crucial role in "financing the conflict" in Kosovo in accordance with
Western economic, strategic and military objectives.  Amply documented by
European police files, acknowledged by numerous studies, the links of the
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) to criminal syndicates in Albania, Turkey and
the European Union have been known to Western governments and intelligence
agencies since the mid-1990s.

  ...The financing of the Kosovo guerilla war poses critical
  questions and it sorely test claims of an "ethical" foreign
  policy. Should the West back a guerrilla army that appears
  to partly financed by organised crime.[1]

While KLA leaders were shaking hands with U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright at Rambouillet, Europol (the European Police Organization based in
the Hague) was "preparing a report for European interior and justice
ministers on a connection between the KLA and Albanian drug gangs."[2]  In
the meantime, the rebel army has been skilfully heralded by the global media
(in the months preceding the NATO bombings) as broadly representative of the
interests of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.

With KLA leader Hashim Thaci (a 29 year "freedom fighter") appointed as chief
negotiator at Rambouillet, the KLA has become the de facto helmsman of the
peace process on behalf of the ethnic Albanian majority and this despite its
links to the drug trade.  The West was relying on its KLA puppets to
rubber-stamp an agreement which would have transformed Kosovo into an
occupied territory under Western Administration.

Ironically Robert Gelbard, America's special envoy to Bosnia, had described
the KLA last year as "terrorists."  Christopher Hill, America's chief
negotiator and architect of the Rambouillet agreement "has also been a strong
critic of the KLA for its alleged dealings in drugs."[3]  Moreover, barely a
few two months before Rambouillet, the U.S. State Department had acknowledged
(based on reports from the U.S. Observer Mission) the role of the KLA in
terrorising and uprooting ethnic Albanians:

  ...the KLA harass or kidnap anyone who comes to the police,
  ... KLA representatives had threatened to kill villagers and
  burn their homes if they did not join the KLA [a process
  which has continued since the NATO bombings]... [T]he KLA
  harassment has reached such intensity that residents of six
  villages in the Stimlje region are "ready to flee.[4]w

While backing a "freedom movement" with links to the drug trade, the West
seems also intent in bypassing the civilian Kosovo Democratic League and its
leader Ibrahim Rugova who has called for an end to the bombings and expressed
his desire to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the Yugoslav
authorities.[5]  It is worth recalling that a few days before his March 31st
Press Conference, Rugova had been reported by the KLA (alongside three other
leaders including Fehmi Agani) to have been killed by the Serbs.

[CTRL] China: No Go on WTO

U.S., China Can't Reach Trade Deal

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
.c The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States and China failed to strike a final deal
Thursday for clearing China's entry to the World Trade Organization but found
accord on opening China's markets to some U.S. farm products and more airline
flights.

Both President Clinton and Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji voiced optimism that an
agreement for China joining the WTO can be reached before the end of this
year.

Despite marathon negotiations over the past four days and a flurry of
last-minute trade concessions from China, the administration decided it
needed more than Chinese negotiators were willing to offer to sell the trade
package to a hostile Congress.

The failure to clinch a final agreement was a significant setback for Zhu,
the first Chinese premier to visit America in 15 years. He had hoped to win
U.S. backing for China's entry into WTO during his meetings with Clinton.

``We made significant progress toward bringing China into the World Trade
Organization on fair commercial terms, but we are not there yet,'' Clinton
told reporters at a joint news conference with Zhu.

Clinton hailed separate deals for eliminating significant Chinese barriers to
American agriculture products, including beef, pork, poultry, citrus and
wheat grown in the Pacific Northwest.

Other signed agreements included doubling the number of passenger and cargo
flights between the two countries. And the administration got a commitment
from China to crack down on piracy of computer programs by Chinese government
agencies.

The two countries also issued a joint statement listing trade concessions
that China offered in hopes of winning America's support for WTO membership
and pledged to continue working toward achieving that goal by November, when
the WTO is scheduled to launch a new round of global trade talks in Seattle.

The joint statement, however, also listed areas still in dispute, most
notably an American demand that China still be subject to unilateral U.S.
trade sanctions for a period of years after it enters the WTO.

The administration was unwilling to relent on this point, fearing charges
from opponents that it had given its enforcement rights for forcing China to
comply with its commitments.

One of the main benefits China would receive from WTO membership would be
protection from new U.S. sanctions without first winning a trade case before
an impartial WTO hearing panel.

Other areas where China's market-opening offers were deemed insufficient were
banking, especially the ability of U.S. firms to offer auto loans to Chinese
consumers, sales of stocks and other securities and distribution rights for
American-made movies.

U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky, briefing reporters on the
talks, rejected a suggestion the administration may have given ammunition to
Chinese critics of Zhu, who is viewed as a leading proponent of economic
reforms.

Zhu ``is anxious for very substantial reform of the Chinese economy and to
move it more toward the direction of market economies ... This will help to
solidify China as a place where companies will want to do business,''
Barshefsky said.

China has been trying for 13 years to win entry in the WTO and the
organization that preceded it, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. It
needs approval from the United States and other major trading powers for
membership in the Geneva-based organization that sets the rules for global
trade.

The Clinton administration has been unwilling to drop its objections until it
is satisfied with China's commitment to lower its high tariffs and other
trade barriers that the administration sees as a chief cause for America's
soaring deficit with China. Last year that deficient reached $57 billion, the
largest for any nation other than Japan.

China's last-minute push for a deal in time for Zhu's visit also was coming
at a time of rising U.S.-China tensions in other areas outside of economics,
including allegations that China stole nuclear secrets from American
laboratories.

Under the agriculture agreement announced Thursday, China will lift a
long-standing ban on shipments of wheat from the Pacific Northwest and citrus
from Florida, Texas and California. It also agreed to eliminate burdensome
inspection requirements on American beef, pork and poultry.

Chuck Lambert, chief economist for the National Cattlemen's Association, said
the accord should produce big gains for American meat producers.

Other U.S. industries also supported the concessions U.S. negotiators won,
although many companies who have longed hoped to expand their operations in
China urged the administration to push forward for a final deal without
delay.

``China has shown its willingness to open the door to its enormous market
wider than ever, presenting Americans with unprecedented opportunities to
trade with the world's most populous country,'' said Philip Condit, chairman
of Boeing Co.

[CTRL] Getting Warmer

 -Caveat Lector-

Major Ice Shelves Melting

LONDON (AP) -- Global warming has speeded the melting of two Antarctic ice
shelves, which lost nearly 1,100 square miles of area in the last year, U.S.
and British researchers say.

Researchers at the University of Colorado and the British Atlantic Survey in
Cambridge say regional warming has increased the annual melt season by up to
three weeks over the past two decades, putting the Larsen B and Wilkins
shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula in ``full retreat.''

Satellite photos show the Larsen B ice shelf has continued to crumble after
an initial small retreat in the spring of 1998, the researchers said
Wednesday. Since November, another 660 square miles of shelf area caved away.

On the other side of the peninsula, the Wilkins ice shelf retreated nearly
420 square miles in early March 1998, said Ted Scambos, a research associate
at the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center.

``The radar images showed a large area of completely shattered ice,
indicating an ice front 35 kilometers (21 miles) back from its previous
extent,'' said Scambos.

He said thousands of small icebergs had appeared, suggesting ``that the
shelves are essentially broken up in place and then flushed out by storms or
currents afterward.''

David Vaughan, a researcher with British Antarctic Survey, said ice shelves
in the area have been in retreat for 50 years but those losses have only
included about 2,700 square miles.

``Within a few years, much of the Wilkins ice shelf will be gone,'' he said.

But Vaughan said the meltdown has few implications for the environment. Birds
and animals are not known to rely on the ice shelves and there would be no
increase in sea levels ``because an ice shelf is floating anyway.''

Since the 1940s, British researchers have reported an increase in mean annual
temperature in the Antarctic of 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer temperatures
now approach, and sometimes exceed 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ice shelves are floating plates of ice that are still attached to continents,
which form when large glaciers flow toward the ocean in polar areas.

Larsen B is about 2,700 square miles, the size of Delaware. Wilkins is nearly
twice that size.

Note from Alan Spector:

As always, I (we) start off with the comment that the
Yugoslav/Serb/Milosovic campaign in Kosovo is just another capitalist
government consolidating power while causing grave harm to hundreds of
thousands of people. Genocide is not an accurate term, but clearly there
have been numerous murders and outright banditry.

However, this extreme demonizing of the Serbs and treating the ethnic
Albanian leadership as if there were saints is also ridiculous. FAIR
(Fairness  Accuracy in Reporting) a rather scrupulously careful media
watchdog group, found an article from the New York Times from 1987 which
offers some explanation as to why Milosovic revoked the autonomy of Kosovo
and tightened control. Among other things, the major ethnic Albanian
leadership had terrorized the minority Serbs, causing 20,000 Serbs to flee!
Whatever crimes the Serb leadership is guilty of, the ethnic Albanian
leadership can hardly be compared to the Jews or "gypsies" of Europe in the
1940s. There was plenty of ethnic cleansing to go around.

propagandists rather than journalists. While the role of the journalist is
to present the world in all its complexity, so that people can make up
their
own minds, the propagandist simplifies the world in order to mobilize the
public behind a common goal.
One basic simplification is to interpret a conflict in terms of villains
and
victims, with no qualification allowed for either role. Conflicts in the
real world rarely fall into such simple categories: Particularly in ethnic
conflicts, both sides usually have legitimate grievances that are often
used
to justify a new round of abuses against the other side.

In presenting the background to the Kosovo conflict, U.S. news outlets
usually begin with Serbia's revocation of the Kosovo Albanians' autonomy in
1989. This was a crucial decision, one of the major reasons for the rise of
the Kosovo Liberation Army. It also destabilized the Yugoslavian system and
contributed to the country's breakup.

Yet media accounts have rarely explained why Serbia lifted Kosovo's
autonomy. The attached article, from the New York Times in 1987, gives
important background to this decision. Although the article is easily found
in the Nexis database, little to none of this information has found its way
into contemporary coverage of Kosovo, in the Times or anywhere else.

If one read a similar history of Kosovo written today, one would likely
dismiss it as pro-Serb propaganda. Yet this was written 12 years ago, when
Kosovo was an obscure corner of the world, and the New York Times would not
seem to have any particular interest in defending Serbs or attacking
Albanians.
It should be kept in mind that some of the charges in this article may be
exaggerated or politically motivated. Of course, the same is true of
atrocity reports that are being carried in the New York Times and other
papers today.

"In Yugoslavia, Rising Ethnic Strife Brings Fears of Worse Civil Conflict"
By DAVID BINDER, Special to the New York Times
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia

Portions of southern Yugoslavia have reached such a state of ethnic
friction
that Yugoslavs have begun to talk of the horrifying possibility of ''civil
war'' in a land that lost one-tenth of its population, or 1.7 million
people, in World War II.

The current hostilities pit separatist-minded ethnic Albanians against the
various Slavic populations of Yugoslavia and occur at all levels of
society,
from the highest officials to the humblest peasants.
A young Army conscript of ethnic Albanian origin shot up his barracks,
killing four sleeping Slavic bunkmates and wounding six others.
The army says it has uncovered hundreds of subversive ethnic Albanian cells
in its ranks. Some arsenals have been raided.

Vicious Insults
Ethnic Albanians in the Government have manipulated public funds and
regulations to take over land belonging to Serbs. And politicians have
exchanged vicious insults.
Slavic Orthodox churches have been attacked, and flags have been torn down.

Deal between British government and BMW--Rover car plant gets stay of
execution
By Mike Ingram
9 April 1999

The British government has agreed to provide more than £150 million in
subsidies for German auto concern BMW to continue production at Rover's
Longbridge car factory in the West Midlands. Even if agreed by the BMW board
the deal offers only a temporary reprieve. It by no means secures the
long-term future of workers either at Longbridge, or within BMW itself.

If the Longbridge factory were to close the implications would be far
reaching. The Rover group employs 39,000 people internationally, 12,000 at
Longbridge. A further 110,000 people work for companies supplying Rover with
production materials and services. It is estimated that the loss of the West
Midlands plant would mean the destruction of some 50,000 jobs in related
industries in the area. The Rover group has annual sales of £6,500 million
and exports its vehicles to about 130 countries, earning £3,200 million in
overseas sales each year. It is the UK's third largest exporter.

At the beginning of this month, Stephen Byers, the Secretary of State for
Trade and Industry, announced that the government had reached an agreement
with BMW chairman Professor Joachim Milberg. BMW were asking for a subsidy
of more than £200 million.

The German company bought the UK car group for £800 million five years ago.
It has since invested £2.5 billion in Rover and is expected to put up an
additional £1.7 billion. Rover losses were £642 million last year and they
are expected to lose a further £350 million this year. BMW had threatened to
shift production of Rover models to Hungary, where they were offered a free
site and the benefit of much reduced production costs.

When British Aerospace placed Rover on the market in 1994, it was one of the
few car companies still making a profit. The British car industry at that
time had the lowest total labour costs in the world, while Germany had the
highest. Average German labour costs were £19 per hour in 1993, compared
with £10 per hour in Britain. Much of the difference was due to the UK's
lower social costs. Social contributions, like National Insurance, accounted
for only 27 percent of total wage costs in Britain, while in Germany they
made up 43 percent. Even Italian labour costs were 6 percent above the
British level.

As a specialist producer for the luxury car market, BMW faced stiff
competition. Rover gave the company access to new and lucrative markets,
through acquisition of the Land Rover and Range Rover, four-wheel-drive
models that are sold widely in the Far East and the United States. Through
the development of the Longbridge plant, BMW aimed to produce a vehicle for
the small car market without downgrading the BMW name. Also, due to its
relations with Honda who owned a 20 percent share in the company, Rover had
already implemented Japanese "flexible" production methods.

Despite this, Rover has turned out to be a rather costly white elephant. A
fiercely competitive world market has hit the company hard. The high value
of the pound has reduced its sales overseas and within Britain. BMW chairman
Joachim Milberg said that despite reducing the productivity gap between
Rover and BMW plants from 30 percent to 20 percent, the Longbridge plant was
unlikely to meet its break-even target by 2000 or 2001. This is in part due
to the original target being set when the pound was worth DM2.30. It
currently trades at DM2.90, costing the group £480 million in annual
profits. "If the pound entered the euro today at DM2.50 that would save us
far more than we are asking the UK government for," a company source said.

The crisis confronting BMW led to bloodletting within its top management,
with the loss of Bernd Pischetsrieder and Wolfgang Reitzle. It was
Pischetsrieder who, five years ago, persuaded the Quandt family, owners of
46 percent of BMW's shares, to buy Rover. Pischetsrieder resigned his post
following a 12-hour board meeting on February 5 at BMW's Munich
headquarters. His anticipated replacement, Reitzle, was expected to carry
out sweeping rationalisations at Rover, scrapping all but production of Land
Rovers and Minis and thus closing Longbridge. But trade union officials on
the BMW board in Germany opposed this, and Milberg was selected as a
compromise candidate.

BMW first responded to the crisis with repeated threats to close the
Longbridge plant, in order to beat the work force into accepting new work
practices and pay cuts. In December last year this led to a groundbreaking
agreement between management and the British unions that included 2,500 job
losses and the introduction of flexible contracts. In return BMW promised a
further £2 billion investment programme.

With trade union collaboration, BMW were able to go a long way towards
establishing their dictates over the work force. The company then turned its
attention to British

WSWS : News  Analysis : Europe : The Balkan Crisis

Australian government twists and turns on Kosovar refugees--A case study in
duplicity
By Mike Head
9 April 1999

The Australian government's policy on offering shelter to refugees driven
out of Kosovo has changed every day this week. One backflip has followed the
other, as the calamity produced by NATO's bombing became increasingly
obvious.

On Monday, Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock faithfully adhered to the
Howard government's general anti-refugee policy. Even after days of
harrowing scenes of human misery in the Balkans, Ruddock flatly ruled out
taking any refugees. After consulting with Prime Minister John Howard's
office, Ruddock insisted that Australia was too far away to offer
assistance. "Flying planeloads of refugees into Australia would not be an
appropriate response," he declared.

And there would be "no increase in the humanitarian intake" this year, he
emphasised. It would remain at 10,000, with perhaps 4,500 coming from the
various war-ravaged parts of the former Yugoslavia.

Tens of thousands of asylum-seekers--mostly from Asia and Africa--are denied
entry to Australia every year. Thousands who succeed in entering the country
on temporary visas are rounded up by police, detained and deported. Ruddock
made it clear there would be no exception for the Kosovars.

For the next 24 hours, Ruddock pushed this line heavily in the media. He
confidently predicted that the Cabinet, due to meet that day, would endorse
his response. "I would think a considered response would not suggest we open
our doors in a temporary way to the movement of people with the expectation
that they would have to be returned." Just five hours later, Cabinet took
exactly that decision.

Undoubtedly, pressure was brought to bear from Washington, where the Clinton
administration had hurriedly drawn up plans to dump Kosovar refugees in
prison camp conditions at the US naval base on Cuba (after earlier proposing
Guam) and was urging its NATO allies to unveil similar schemes.

The Howard government's stance also provoked widespread outrage at home,
accompanied by nervous expressions of concern in the media. To many people,
there was an obvious contradiction. As soon as NATO began its assault on
Yugoslavia, the Howard government declared its full backing for the
bombardment, echoing the White House line that this was a war waged for
genuinely humanitarian purposes. Yet it would not provide safe haven for a
single victim of the war.

The contrast is all the more stark because Canberra is making a critical
contribution to the NATO operation via the so-called jointly operated US
bases on Australian soil. The Nurrungar base provides early warning of enemy
missiles and other military responses--helping to identify NATO targets;
Pine Gap is part of a global electronic eavesdropping network--needed to
monitor the Milosevic regime's plans; and North West Cape maintains
telecommunications and navigational facilities for US warships and
submarines.

Late on Tuesday, Prime Minister John Howard hastily convened a media
conference where, with Ruddock standing mutely by his side, he announced an
about-face. As a purely temporary measure, the government would admit up to
4,000 ethnic Albanians. They would be airlifted to Australia and provided
with food, health care and basic necessities, but only for three months.

Howard spoke of the need for an affluent country such as Australia to be
seen to be generous. In the same breath he said his government's offer of
safe haven had two conditions. The first was that none of the refugees would
be permitted to apply for permanent residency, or even for social security
benefits. The second condition was that the Labor Party opposition agree to
the passage of retrospective legislation to formalise those restrictions
once parliament resumes. The Labor leaders, who also back the NATO bombing,
readily agreed.

In effect, although this was not spelled out, the refugees will be permitted
to physically land on Australian soil, but will be stripped of all legal
rights, including the right to apply for refugee status and to obtain
welfare. After three months, they will be forcibly repatriated back to the
Balkans. How this will be achieved legally is yet to be seen. The courts
have in the past objected to individuals being locked up or deported unless
they have been proven guilty of a criminal offence (invoking the doctrine of
habeas corpus --no detention without trial). Presumably the Howard
government will extend the principle introduced by the former Labor
government of declaring unwanted refugees to be a special category of
"unlawful non-citizens" who have no legal or democratic rights whatsoever.

Asked if the refugees would be under some form of restraint or in effective
captivity, Howard did not deny the suggestion. He said the government was
still considering that issue. Initial reports in the media, citing Defence

Uncle Sam's secret agenda

WHEN the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the front page
of the London Daily Express said: ``This is a warning to the world.'' When
American missiles and bombs attacked a sovereign European state last Friday,
it was another clear warning to the world, with the message fundamentally
unchanged.

April 19, 1999
The Clinton Doctrine
See below for background and related information. At site
E-mail this story to a friend.

President Clinton's decision to use military force against the Serbs was not
simply a calculated response to Slobodan Milosevic's intransigence. A
careful reading of recent Administration statements and Pentagon documents
shows that the NATO bombing is part of a larger strategic vision.

That vision has three basic components. The first is an increasingly
pessimistic appraisal of the global security environment. "In this last
annual threat assessment of the twentieth century," Director of Central
Intelligence George Tenet testified on February 2, "I must tell you that US
citizens and interests are threatened in many arenas and across a wide
spectrum of issues." Those perils range from regional conflict and
insurgency to terrorism, criminal violence and ethnic unrest.

The second component is the assumption that as a global power with far-flung
economic interests, the United States has a vested interest in maintaining
international stability. Because no other power or group of powers can
guarantee this stability, the United States must be able to act on its own
or in conjunction with its most trusted allies (meaning NATO).

The third component is a conviction that to achieve global stability, the
United States must maintain sufficient forces to conduct simultaneous
military operations in widely separated areas of the world against multiple
adversaries, and it must revise its existing security alliances--most of
which, like NATO, are defensive in nature--so that they can better support
US global expeditionary operations.

Combined, these three propositions constitute a new strategic template for
the US military establishment. This template is evident, for example, in the
$112 billion the President wants to add to the Defense Department budget
over the next six years, which will be used to procure additional warships,
cargo planes, assault vehicles and other equipment intended for "power
projection" into distant combat zones.

Less public, but no less significant, is the US effort to convert NATO from
a defensive alliance in Western Europe into a regional police force governed
by Washington. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright first unveiled this
scheme this past December at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in
Brussels. Claiming that missile-armed "rogue states" pose as great a threat
to Europe as the Warsaw Pact once did, Albright called on NATO to extend its
operational zone into distant areas and to combat a wide range of emerging
threats. "Common sense tells us," she said, "that it is sometimes better to
deal with instability when it is still at arm's length than to wait until it
is at our doorstep."

Herein lies the essence of what might be termed the Clinton Doctrine--the
proposition that the best way to maintain stability in the areas that truly
matter to the United States (like Western Europe) is to combat instability
in other areas, however insignificant it may seem, before it can intensify
and spread. Perhaps the most explicit expression of this doctrine was
Clinton's February 26 speech in San Francisco--an important statement that
clearly foreshadowed the decision to bomb Serbia:

It's easy...to say that we really have no interests in who lives in this or
that valley in Bosnia, or who owns a strip of brushland in the Horn of
Africa, or some piece of parched earth by the Jordan River. But the true
measure of our interests lies not in how small or distant these places are,
or in whether we have trouble pronouncing their names. The question we must
ask is, what are the consequences to our security of letting conflicts
fester and spread. We cannot, indeed, we should not, do everything or be
everywhere. But where our values and our interests are at stake, and where
we can make a difference, we must be prepared to do so [emphasis added].
This is an extraordinary statement; not since the Vietnam era has a US
President articulated such an ambitious and far-reaching policy. Moreover,
as we have seen in the Balkans, Clinton has every intention of acting on its
precepts. His decision to bomb Serbia is consistent with a clearly
delineated strategic plan.

There is a growing debate over the wisdom of bombing Serbia.

Israelis Help Kosovo Refugees

By LAURIE COPANS
.c The Associated Press

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) -- Unable to shake the image of her grandfather
suffering Nazi horrors, Shalevet Friedland left early for her evening shift
at McDonald's to make an important stop on the way: a collection depot for
Kosovo refugees.

Friedland, whose grandfather survived a Nazi labor camp, stuffed blankets and
warm clothing into three white garbage bags and piled them onto a suitcase
cart.

``We need to help them, to give, to give what we can,'' Friedland, 24, said
Thursday as she tossed her bags on the growing pile of contributions in Rabin
Square.

The saga of thousands of ethnic Albanians fleeing Kosovo -- families ripped
apart, children and women packed onto trucks, illness breeding in cramped
refugee camps -- has special resonance in Israel. In the Jewish state, the
Holocaust, the murder of 6 million Jews during the German occupation of
Europe, is a defining historical moment.

``Since I saw the pictures, I got a pain in my chest, simply a pain,'' said
Avraham Zelig, a survivor of Poland's Lodz ghetto who is raising funds from
fellow survivors. ``All the pictures took me back to another period.''

The concern extends beyond survivors and their descendants. Tens of thousands
packed the same square in central Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening for a
fund-raising rock concert dubbed ``We of all People Cannot Remain Silent.''

``To act normally at an abnormal time is itself abnormal,'' Israeli Chief
Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau -- himself a Holocaust survivor -- told the youthful
crowd.

A daylong radiothon raised more than $600,000.

``It's beyond survivors,'' said author Tom Segev, who has written extensively
on the reverberations of the Holocaust in Israeli society. ``It's connected
to the Israeli ethos -- to empathize with the refugees.''

In Israel -- a nation built by immigrants -- even those not related to
Holocaust survivors are still likely to know of refugee experiences in the
family.

Yaakov Rachminovitch spoke of the hardships his parents went through when
they emigrated from Yugoslavia to pre-state Palestine in 1930. Rachminovitch
was born that year, en route, in Turkey.

``We know these problems of refugees very well,'' he said as he watched
preparations for the concert.

The fighting in Yugoslavia -- and the refugees it has created -- has pushed
the faltering Mideast peace process and May 17 elections out of the
headlines.

The refugee crisis is simply too compelling, said Yuval Natan, a columnist
with the daily Maariv.

``Call me an idiot, tell me that I'm a sucker for kitsch, but every time I
see a crate of aid with the Israeli flag pasted to it landing in a crisis
zone, it makes me feel good,'' he wrote.

Many Israelis have expressed embarrassment at their government's failure to
unequivocally support the NATO action against Yugoslavia, whose forces have
emptied Serbia's Kosovo province of its majority Albanian population.

Yossi Peled, a retired general who backs the opposition Labor Party, said the
silence was especially conspicuous as Israel prepares to mark Holocaust
remembrance day on Monday.

``The day should never come where they shake their finger at us and say
`Where were you?''' Peled told Israel television. ``Our conscience is
there,'' in Albania.

Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon has angered the United States by suggesting
that a Yugoslav defeat could lead to a triumphalist ``Greater Albania'' that
would sponsor Muslim fundamentalism.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has distanced himself from Sharon's
statements and offered to take in some refugees.

The Jewish Agency, a quasi-governmental organization once known only for
Jewish rescue, is airlifting more than 40 tons of supplies to the refugees.
Israel's army has set up a field hospital among refugees in Macedonia.

Some of the relief workers say they are paying Albania back for protecting
its small Jewish community during the Holocaust.

About 2,000 Jews from Yugoslavia fled to Albania during World War II, joining
the tiny Jewish community there, said Avner Shalev, the chairman of the Yad
Vashem Holocaust Memorial.

``Everyone was saved, everyone,'' Shalev told The Associated Press. ``No one
was turned in by informants or collaborators.''

Israel has honored some of the Albanians who saved Jews during the war, he
said.

``The Albanians helped the Jews, I'm returning the favor,'' said Bala Bajram,
a doctor at the field hospital whose parents were hidden by an Albanian
family during the Holocaust.

Some Israelis, too young for memories, were moved only by the images.

Aviha Travis, 7, contributed his allowance to the family donation he and his
father dropped off in Rabin Square.

``I saw on the television that people don't have blankets and they are living
in tents and they are hungry,'' he explained.

[CTRL] CNN CAN'T FIND DISSENT FROM THE LEFT

1999-04-09 Thread David Crockett Williams

 -Caveat Lector-

FAIR ACTION ALERT: CNN CAN'T FIND DISSENT FROM THE LEFT
April 8, 1999

On April 7, CNN's Bill Schneider offered this analysis of the anti-war
sentiment in the country: "What's missing from the Kosovo story is
anti-war protest, at least on the left."  Schneider continued by
saying that there was "no action out there on the streets or on
campuses -- no marches, no demonstrations, no teach-ins."

The statement is true, if one watches the media for signs of dissent
from the left.  In fact, contrary to Schneider's claim, there is
plenty of dissent from the Clinton policy-on campuses, in the streets
and from leading progressive writers and thinkers.

Leading left-of-center publications like The Nation and The
Progressive have editorialized against the NATO bombings. Groups like
the War Resisters League and the International Action Center, led by
former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, have organized
demonstrations and spoken out forcefully. Dozens of prominent
commentators, like Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, have condemned the
bombings. And a gathering of notables and activists like Tim Robbins,
Erica Jong and Rosie Perez in New York City on April 5 attracted an
overflow crowd.

Since the day before the bombing of Yugoslavia began, the Institute
for Public Accuracy (IPA) has sent eight news releases to countless
media outlets, featuring 25 independent analysts with critical
perspectives on the bombing. Experts and commentators from IPA's
roster have appeared on numerous media outlets--including MSNBC and
Fox News Channel--but have not thus far been featured on CNN.

When Schneider claims that dissent from the left boils down to
criticizing Clinton "not for what he's trying to do, but for the way
he's doing it," he is incorrect. Many of the most prominent critics
are in fact questioning NATO's moral authority to intervene in this
war.

Schneider concludes the report with this: "The peace movement is
leading the war.  And for liberals who oppose the war, they don't have
any Pat Buchanan to speak for them."

Again, if Schneider's understanding of dissent is limited to the
mainstream media, that is correct. Unfortunately, there is much more
going on that fails to make the news.

***

ACTION: Call on CNN to expand their coverage of the war in Yugoslavia
to include progressive critics that have been marginalized by the
media thus far. Ask them to consider some of the experts, journalists
and commentators whose work is featured on the web sites listed below.

 carry them out.  The blood of those who have been beaten and killed is

 those who thought about it or were bigoted and racist, unless they were the

Actually, Teo, I have to disagree and I sincerely hope that I am not alone in the 
thoughts I am about to post. Certainly those who commit heinous acts are to blame for 
their acts, but those who hold the same beliefs, though they may not act on them 
inevitably turn the other cheek and do nothing to stop the acts, and are therefore 
just as responsible. That is why the all-powerful and never named "THEY" say "If

Re: [CTRL] Gods Bankers in EDINBURGH

1999-04-09 Thread Nicola Molloy

 -Caveat Lector-

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for all that great info. Do you know anything specific about whose Scots
claiming to have the Ark of the Covenent, and where they got it from originally.
Was it with Jeramiah to Ireland in 580 approx BC or did the French Templars manage
to get it on the crusades and then transport it on?  How long has it been there
and which clan has it, that's what I'd like to know. Presumably it would have to
be the royal ones.

If they do have the real thing maybe they are waiting for Jesus to return or is it
being kept for the Temple in Jerusalem, said to be being rebuilt by Lord
Rothschild. If he is in charge of the Temple which Ark is he going to put in from
the large selection. I expect the Freemasons would be trying to have some power in
this.

If you know anything about the Head of God I'd be grateful too, as to how they
think it arrived there.

There's so many books on these subjects now that I just don't know what to
believe. But I sure think Laurence Gardner has got it wrong. He says Ahkenaton was
Moses among other unbelievable statements.

Regarding who exactly is rightfully sitting on David's throne, I've always
thought, as is is said that Jesus was the rightful heir, (I think Josephus
mentions this) then surely when He died the throne would have gone to the surving
eldest son of Mary. That would make the Irish 580BC line invalid as the current
holder at the time if it actually was carried on in Jerusalem. But then again they
could always have gone over there and intermarried other royalty.  Tho Herod was
king he wasn't tribe of Judah.

I remember reading years ago that some of the people close to Jesus actually
married into the Welsh royal family and started Christianity there. Could the
Welsh be secretly claiming the title? Did anyone ever track the whereabouts of
Jesus personal family eg the brothers. Maybe even France. In that case do they
still have secrets we should know, apart from the Rennes info. Did  those from
Jesus brother/s shift to Scotland during the Templar purges?

It would be reassuring to think the good guys had the right Ark of course. But
where are they?

Any comments appreciated. I certainly like the Atlantean connection with Scotland
too. I've also heard that the Druids were originally priests from Atlantis. Thanks
for any insight given.

  First report on ARPANET at AFIPS: "Computer Network 

[CTRL] kosovo-ongoing comment

1999-04-09 Thread Taylor, John (JH)

 -Caveat Lector-

A little history --  The New York Times, reporting on the Kosovo conflict
back in 1987, described how the Albanian population of Yugoslavia was
pushing for a "Greater Albania" by carrying out violent acts against Serbs.
These included attacks on Serb Orthodox churches, crop burning and
well-poisonings. Apparently, young Albanian men were told by their elders to
rape Serbian women. In 1992, the NYT reported that 250,000 Serbs had been
'ethnically cleansed' from Croatia.


7 iv '99 EDINBURGH --  Some correspondents in the London papers were signing
their own names to stories of atrocities, but much of the reportage was one
journalist saying what another said she was told by an unnamed Kosovar. In
particular, it was said on the BBC that Kosovar women could not be expected
to put their own names to allegations of rape by Serbian soldiers, or indeed
to give the slightest detail of such claims (because to do so would be too
shaming for them and their families). In fact, it would be utterly bizarre
if 10,000 Nato troops (including 4.500 British) had sat in Macedonia for a
fortnight and not protected a single square mile of Kosovo or a retreat
corridor from Pristina if horrendous atrocities  had *indeed* been taking
place (let alone the 'genocide' -- claimed six times in five minutes by UK
Foreign Secretary Robin Cook). The Nato bombing had killed over 300
civilians and wounded over 3,000 others, the Yugoslav ambassador to Russia
claimed in Moscow.

7 iv '99 --  http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ (J. Orlin Grabbe)  --  Bill
Clinton's failing Kosovo war is part of a desperate, dangerous and fatally
flawed plan by a scandal-ridden President to salvage a legacy for the
history books, White House and Pentagon insiders say.

8 iv '99 EDINBURGH --  Having caused some 300 deaths in Serbia and some 17
deaths in Kosovo and precipitated the ethnic flight of a million ethnic
Albanians (about 300,000 of them to Albania) and billions of dollars of
material destruction, multicultural AmericOtan has embarked on spelling out
its war aims. At the top of the agenda is Prime Minister Blair's undertaking
to the Kosovars (Daily Telegraph 7 iv '99): "We will make sure you can
return to your homes and live in your homes in peace. That is our promise."
So the chief objective is merely to restore the status quo ante bellum! Just
how Kosovo's 10% Serbian population is to be protected from victorious
returning neighbours remains unclear; but at least there are plenty of homes
left -- top journalist John Simpson revealed from Pristina that media
suggestions of widespread burning of Kosovar homes were exaggerations (CFMR
8 iv '99, 00:00). Nato may have gambled and lost in its Third Way plan of
avoiding the use of both diplomacy and infantry, but it is not lacking in
spirit. It may not be able to save lives, but it can still save the face of
New World Order neosocialist, the Reverend William Jefferson Clinton of the
Church of the Seven Day Fornicators. 'The immaculate coercion' of fifteen
days of nightly bombing has found the Middle Way between ignoring Serbian
enormities and actually ending them and has proved popular with TV viewers;
and once Yugoslavia is a flattened wasteland it should be possible to risk
the occasional Nato operative to initiate the process of trying 'war
criminals' and demanding reparations. This will let neosocialists make
object lessons of nationalists for the next century. AmericOtan has been
able to shrug off the anti-Nato-bombing pleas of the moderate Kosovan ethnic
Albanian leader Mr Rugova with the unproven suggestion that he is being
intimidated or drugged. Nor does the lack of interest of Albania in doing
anything impact on Washington's Black House: in Albania, the big businesses
are in narcotics, the control of prostitution in Naples and in war
profiteering so there has been no time for helping Kosovars in Kosovo.
  UK newspapers continue to show a disjunction between
well-propagandized leader writers' and journalists' allusions to 'genocide'
on the one hand and independent-minded columnists and correspondents on the
other. A particularly fine anti-war article was that by Andrew Roberts in
the Times ('Patriots for peace', 7 iv '99). Roberts recalled the many

Re: [CTRL] Homosexuals in the Military:OR Homosexual, Control Fiends and Pedophiles

1999-04-09 Thread revcoal

 -Caveat Lector-

Many people would define the homosexual lifestyle
as one of promiscuity.

Those are people who've never met anyone who's homosexual...I've known and
worked with heterosexuals who were far more 'promiscuous' than the
homosexuals I've known and worked with...


The reason for this is that
homosexuals seem to be like the legendary "Peter Pan."

Again, I've known far more heterosexual "Peter Pan"s than homosexual...
and in fact, the "Peter Pan Syndrome", when first coined, referred to
HETEROsexual men who treat women either as "Wendys" or "Tinkerbells"...

The person who wrote this homophobic diatribe is an idiot.


By refusing to commit to someone of the
opposite sex, they normally do not have to worry
about the responsibility of children,

Bull.  Many homosexuals have previously been married, and have children.
Many heterosexuals OTOH choose not to have children...not having children
is NOT an indication of irresponsibility, in fact one can argue that by
limiting the growth of population, those who choose not to have children
are far more 'responsible' than those who do.


much less the responsibility of a commitment.

Every homoxexual I've known was in a longterm, committed relationship.

If homosexual marriages were legalized, you'd see many more such committed
relationships...


 Also if they do
decide to break off the relationship they normally do
not have to worry about the legal tangles of divorce.

This is true...which is why you find many HETEROsexual couples opting for
the same...


Should admitted homosexuals that are seen as
promiscuous, unable to make commitments, and
unwilling to take on responsibility for other people
be allowed to serve in the military?

Should HETEROsexuals WHO (the correct grammar, BTW) are seen as
promiscuous, unable to make commitments, and unwilling to take on
responsibility for other people be allowed to serve in the military?

One COULD argue that such self-centered people, no matter their sexual
orientation, could make a BETTER soldier, as they wouldn't be 'hindered'
by caring thoughts for fellow men and women...

Also, the ancient Spartans, feared by their enemies as an extremely
brutual and efficient army, ENCOURAGED homosexual relationships amongst
the troops, as they believed it fostered a deep camraderie for one's
fellow soldier, a camraderie which translated into the desire not only to
attack the mutual enemy, but to defend one's lover as willingly as one
would defend oneself.

BTW, there have ALWAYS been homosexuals in the U.S. military...


What kind of person
do you want to depend on? Would you rather
depend on someone that is willing to take on
commitments of religion and family,

Such as Bill Clinton?  :-7


The military image requires that the people of the
military be true to the most stringent standards
that their culture has. If you can not take pride
yourself and your own culture, how can you
understand the pride that someone else has in their
culture.

This is the same argument that was used to justify keeping blacks out of
the military, keeping Hispanics out of the military, keeping women out of
the miliatary, etcit is the standard argument which is raised whenever
ANY minority request equal rights under the law...


True homosexuals have decided what sex they
are and what life style they want to follow.

And what, pray tell, do homosexuals do that heterosexuals don't do also?


True homosexuals have seldom if ever been known
to rape a heterosexual.

TRUE homosexuals rarely commit rape, period.


These controlling personalities are really in the
closet! Because if the real truth were known,
they usually are willing to have sex with any person -
male or female of any age.

Then they are bisexual, not homosexual and not heterosexual...


These control fiends
are the type to have a physical relationship with a
single or divorce mother and also think nothing
of having a relationship with here male OR female
child.

Anyone having sex with a child is a pedophile...which has absolutely
NOTHING to do with normal homosexuality, bisexuality, or
heterosexuality...

A man having sex with a little boy is no more indicative of normal adult
homosexuals than a man having sex with a little girl is indicative of
normal adult heterosexuals...


Some countries have been sympathetic to the
American Homosexual. Iceland has an
overwhelmingly female population - I think the
current ratio is five females births to every one male
birth,

Citation for such figures?


The American
homosexual has usually decided that they want
few, if any commitments.

Then you have obviously never met any.


Have you
thought what it would be like if the military didn't have
a standard.

Standards like those displayed at Tailhook?

But I guess you APPROVE of heterosexual promiscuity...

[CTRL] Satellite 'Big Brother' eyes parolees

1999-04-09 Thread Lyn McCloskey

 -Caveat Lector-

Satellite 'Big Brother' eyes parolees
By Gary Fields, USA TODAY

Military satellites designed to guide nuclear missiles are being used to monitor
prison parolees and probationers in a technological advance
designed to reduce the nation's skyrocketing prison population. But
critics say it also raises the specter of an Orwellian future.

The ComTrak monitoring system uses 24 Defense Department satellites
orbiting 12,500 miles above the Earth to track 100 people in nine
states. The people under surveillance range from sex offenders in
Chicago to juvenile delinquents in New Jersey. The cost of monitoring
each person is $12.50 per day.

It is a long way from a system originally designed by the Defense
Department to help guide nuclear missiles. The Pentagon began leasing
satellite time, allowing others to use the satellites, after the Cold
War ended. "It's bullets to plowshares," says Jack Lamb, president and
CEO of Advanced Business Sciences Inc., the Omaha-based company that
developed the ComTrak system.

The system has three main components: a bracelet the size of a
wristwatch, a 3-pound personal tracking unit that resembles a
walkie-talkie, and the battery charger/base that is kept at the
monitored person's house and transmits information by telephone to a
monitoring center . If the bracelet is broken or removed or the wearer
is more than 50 feet from the tracking unit, an alarm is sent to the
monitoring center.

The system is programmed to set up zones where a person monitored can
and cannot go, depending on the crime committed. For example, people
with drunken-driving convictions can be tracked to set off an alarm if
they enter local bars. Exclusion zones for a sexual predator can include schools
and parks in a designated area. And an abusive husband can be tracked to ensure
he stays clear of his wife's workplace, home or places she visits.

When a person being monitored enters an exclusion zone, the tracking
unit sends an automatic alert to monitoring centers in Omaha. Law
enforcement authorities are alerted within minutes.

At night, the tracker is placed in the charger, which downloads all of a
person's movements that day - right down to the precise route the person took to
work - and sends the record of movements to the monitoring center.

Lamb says the potential for growth is "phenomenal." There are nearly 4
million people under some form of supervision in the USA. Of those, only about
11,000 are monitored electronically under the old system, which is unable to
track a person's movements once he or she has left home. Some see the new system
as a tool for judges grappling with a prison and jail population of 1.8 million
people at a cost of more than $40 per day for each inmate.

Percy Luney Jr., president of the National Judicial College at the
University of Nevada, Reno, where judges receive training in such issues as
alternative sentencing, says the system "gives judges an option for keeping
people out of jail and away from all the negative influences there. It's also a
cost-saver for the taxpayer."

Lamb says his system also is an improvement over older technology, which can
tell only if those being monitored leave home during restricted hours. "The
problem with the old system is once they leave home, you have no idea where they
are or what they are doing," Lamb says.

Others involved in the prison industry, from defense lawyers to
probation and parole officers and judges, acknowledge that the advanced
monitoring system has potential. But there are some concerns about how
far the use of such surveillance will go.

Paul Rothstein, a law professor at Georgetown University, says the
system has the potential "to change the face of law enforcement and
incarceration." Nevertheless, he sees the "potential for creating a
monster."

Rothstein is concerned that the advances in technology could result in
more and more people being subjected to electronic monitoring - not just those
on parole. "You could end up with the majority of the population under some kind
of surveillance by the government," he says.

Jack King, spokesman for the National Association of Criminal Defense
Lawyers, says his organization supports the electronic monitoring. He
sees it as especially helpful in the case of someone who should be out
on bail but is too destitute to pay it.

He says he is concerned about such technology being used to monitor
people who have served their sentences and paid their debts to society.
"If it's to track someone who has done his full term, like a registered
sex offender or a formerly dangerous felon, then the use of this
technology becomes Orwellian with all the dangers to all our freedoms
that suggests," King says. "Who would they be tracking next?"

SKOLNICK SEES "HITLER-STYLE PLAN"
=

(CNNS,  04/09/99)  -- Sherman H. Skolnick, chairman of the public
interest research  group,  Citizens'  Committee  to  Clean Up the
Courts,  reports  that  Serbs  living  in  the  U.S.  (and   even
naturalized  Serb-Americans) who dare to protest U.S. involvement
in Yugoslavia  are  facing  repression  by  the  U.S. immigration

The Hitler-Style Plan
by Sherman H. Skolnick

There are an estimated one  hundred thousand to a quarter million
Serbians living more  or  less  quietly  in  the  U.S.  as  alien
residents.   With  the undeclared war of the U.S. against Serbia,
is there a plan regarding such Serbians?

Not mentioned  in  what  some  call  the  monopoly  press are the
presidential  edicts  to  deal  with   so-called   "emergencies".
Blunt-talking  sorts  call  them  martial  law  provisions.   (To
mislead  the  public,  CBS  has  started a series called "Martial
Law".)

There is a  growing  clamor  by  Serbs  in  the  U.S. against the
Clinton White House and  Pentagon.   In  efforts  to  stop  this,
Clinton  has  ordered  that  Serbians  with green cards, resident
aliens, be deported  as  silently  as  possible.  Apparently this
original plan has been scrapped in favor of an  alternative  one,
to  send  Serbians  to  certain  detention camps, a replay of the
Hitler-era.

Plans to counter this,  such  as  by federal court lawsuits might
not even by publicized.  Why?  The monopoly  press  seems  to  be
acting  like under war-time orders.  (For a sinister analogy, see
the book "The Captive Press in the Third Reich" by Oron J. Hale.)

The largest concentration of  Serbs,  both aliens and naturalized
citizens, is in the Chicago-area.  Too many federal judges,  such
as in the Windy City, are both tied to the banking system and are
blackmailable  because  of  ties  to questionable if not criminal
enterprises.  So an appeal to the courts for a remedy may well be
fruitless.

One of  the  most  secret  detention  camps  is  offshore Alaska,
originally designed to house  blacks  because  of  racial  riots.
This writer had this confirmed during a radio talk show he did in
Anchorage.  Is that where the alien Serbs are to be sent?

The Immigration and Naturalization Service  (INS), as well as the
FBI,  have  been  told  they  could  as  well  grab  and   detain
Serbian-Americans,  that  is, citizens, who do not quickly supply
their naturalization papers.

Much of this has been  confirmed  by  sources  in  the  INS,  and
elsewhere.

A cynical historian contends the calendar  stating  the  year  as
1999  is a fraud.  It is, he loudly insists, actually 1938 and we
are all in a time-warp.  Stay tuned.

Illinois Bill Criminalizes Marijuana Information on the
Internet

(reprinted from the NORML Weekly News, http://www.norml.org)

April 8, 1999, Springfield, IL:  The state House of
Representatives unanimously approved legislation that would
impose criminal penalties on those who transmit information
pertaining to marijuana on the Internet if they "know that
the information will be used in furtherance of illegal
activity."

NORML Executive Director R. Keith Stroup, Esq. noted, "Under
this measure, someone could legally transmit information
about potentially violent activities like building bombs,
but face criminal prosecution for posting messages about the
documented medical uses of marijuana.  This is an attempt to
circumvent the first amendment guarantee of free speech by
turning the transmission of certain factual information via
the Internet into a 'thought crime.'  Proponents of this
type of legislation are the equivalent of modern day book-
burners."

House Bill 792, introduced by Rep. Gerald Mitchell (R-Rock
Falls), seeks to make the transmission of "information about
cannabis by the Internet" a Class A misdemeanor if the
provider is aware the information could be used for an
illegal activity.  The Senate Judiciary will hold hearings
on the proposal next Wednesday.  The House approved the
measure 114 to zero.

Kosovo Crisis Presents Iran with Policy Dilemma

Summary:

Iran, particularly in its role as the current head of the
Organization of the Islamic Conference, has taken a great
interest in the plight of the Moslem Kosovar Albanians.  Tehran
is torn, however, between its desire to stop and punish the Serbs
and its opposition to U.S. military actions abroad.

Analysis:

Replying to accusations of Iranian complacency leveled in the
Saudi-owned, Beirut-based newspaper Al-Sharq al-Owsat, the
Iranian English-language daily Tehran Times on April 8 wrote that
"If any Iranian official denounced the NATO strikes, he simply
meant that the Western powers had violated the international
norms and tarnished the prestige of the world body."  The Tehran
Times' attempted clarification of Iran's position on Operation
Allied Force illustrates the dilemma the conflict in Kosovo has
presented Tehran.  Iran is caught between its vehement
condemnation of Serbian aggression and its opposition to U.S.
global power projection.  And so, it has attempted to strike a
balance that blames the UN Security Council for shirking its
responsibility before the crisis erupted, thus making NATO air
strikes necessary, while insisting that the strikes should have
been launched under a UN mandate.

Iran's stand on Belgrade's "ethnic cleansing" of Kosovo is
unambiguous, and is shared by Tehran's moderates and
conservatives alike.  Speaking on April 7 at the conclusion of a
foreign ministerial meeting of the Organization of the Islamic
Conference (OIC) Contact Group in Geneva, Iranian Foreign
Minister Kamal Kharrazi warned the "extremist Serbs" that "the
world of Islam cannot tolerate continuation of brutalities
against Moslems in Kosovo... The world of Islam cannot witness
atrocities against Moslems in Kosovo and not take any measures."

The trouble is, Iran can't figure out what effective measures to
take.  Tehran has sent two plane-loads of humanitarian aid to
Kosovar Albanian refugees and has upgraded an Iranian-run clinic
in Tirana.  It has held consultations independently and in its
role as the current head of the OIC with the UN, Bosnia, Albania,
Macedonia, Greece, the Vatican, Russia, NATO members, and other
countries.  It has even offered, with the OIC, to participate in
any future internationally-led peacekeeping efforts in Kosovo.
But beyond issuing condemnations and continuing to appeal for a
peaceful and speedy negotiated settlement of the crisis, Iran has
found itself somewhat impotent.

Adding to Iran's policy predicament, a number of Arab and Moslem
countries have come out in support of NATO's bombing campaign,
and among those opposed to the bombing are Iran's perennial
enemies Iran and, initially, Israel.  Israeli Defense Minster
Ariel Sharon has publicly warned against Kosovar Albanian
independence, insisting it would create a greater Albanian
"fundamentalist Islamic state" in the heart of Europe.  Baghdad
has claimed that the U.S. is "playing the Kosovo Moslem card" to
neutralize Arab and Moslem opposition to NATO attacks on an
independent sovereign country.  "A country's internal problems
should be settled within the country concerned, without any
foreign interference," said an Iraqi statement.  Both Iraq and
Israel have reportedly had military contacts with the Yugoslav
government before the current crisis as well.

Iran's best hope for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis --
Russia -- has not panned out.  Tehran has appealed several times
to Moscow to "take advantage of its influence over Belgrade" to
intervene on behalf of the Kosovar Albanians, but with no
success.  Either Russia's influence has not been particularly
strong or, as is more likely the case, Russia does not want to
pressure Belgrade to accept NATO's ultimatum.  In an interview
with the English-language Iran Daily printed April 7, Russian
Ambassador to Tehran Konstantin Shuvalov went so far as to
suggest that the perceived plight of the Kosovar Albanians was in
significant part mere NATO propaganda.  No matter how eager Iran
is to cooperate with Russia rather than NATO, this is not the
answer Tehran wanted to hear.

And so we come back to NATO's bombing campaign -- not Iran's
first choice and not really effective in stopping Serb aggression
against Kosovar Albanians, but at least dishing out pain on the
Serbs.  The English language daily Kayhan International stated
the case quite succinctly on April 6, arguing that U.S. attacks
on Yugoslavia and Iraq "set a dangerous precedent in
international affairs" and "rendered the world a lot more unsafe
without ever inflicting heavy blows to the repressive reigns of
the rulers in Baghdad and Belgrade."  "However," the paper

   KOSOVO "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" FINANCED BY ORGANISED CRIME

Heralded by the global media as a humanitarian peace-keeping
mission, NATO's ruthless bombing of Belgrade and Pristina goes far beyond
the breach of international law. While Slobodan Milosevic is demonised,
portrayed as a remorseless dictator, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is
upheld as a self-respecting nationalist movement struggling for the rights
of ethnic Albanians. The truth of the matter is that the KLA is sustained
by organised crime with the tacit approval of the United States and its
allies.

Following a pattern set during the War in Bosnia, public opinion
has been carefully misled. The multibillion dollar Balkans narcotics trade
has played a crucial role in "financing the conflict" in Kosovo in
accordance with Western economic, strategic and military objectives. Amply
documented by European police files, acknowledged by numerous studies, the
links of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) to criminal syndicates in
Albania, Turkey and the European Union have been known to Western
governments and intelligence agencies since the mid-1990s.

"...The financing of the Kosovo guerilla war poses critical
questions and it sorely test claims of an "ethical" foreign policy. Should
the West back a guerilla army that appears to partly financed by organised
crime." 1

While KLA leaders were shaking hands with US Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright at Rambouillet, Europol (the European Police
Organization based in the Hague) was "preparing a report for European
interior and justice ministers on a connection between the KLA and
Albanian drug gangs."2 In the meantime, the rebel army has been skilfully
heralded by the global media (in the months preceding the NATO bombings)
as broadly representative of the interests of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.

With KLA leader Hashim Thaci (a 29 year "freedom fighter")
appointed as chief negotiator at Rambouillet, the KLA has become the de
facto helmsman of the peace process on behalf of the ethnic Albanian
majority and this despite its links to the drug trade. The West was
relying on its KLA puppets to rubber-stamp an agreement which would have
transformed Kosovo into an occupied territory under Western
Administration.

Ironically Robert Gelbard, America's special envoy to Bosnia, had
described the KLA last year as "terrorists". Christopher Hill, America's
chief negotiator and architect of the Rambouillet agreement "has also been
a strong critic of the KLA for its alleged dealings in drugs."3 Moreover,
barely a few two months before Rambouillet, the US State Department had
acknowledged (based on reports from the US Observer Mission) the role of
the KLA in terrorising and uprooting ethnic Albanians:

"...the KLA harass or kidnap anyone who comes to the police, ...
KLA representatives had threatened to kill villagers and burn their homes
if they did not join the KLA [a process which has continued since the NATO
bombings]... [T]he KLA harassment has reached such intensity that
residents of six villages in the Stimlje region are "ready to flee." 4

While backing a "freedom movement" with links to the drug trade,
the West seems also intent in bypassing the civilian Kosovo Democratic
League and its leader Ibrahim Rugova who has called for an end to the
bombings and expressed his desire to negotiate a peaceful settlement with
the Yugoslav authorities.5 It is worth recalling that a few days before
his March 31st Press Conference, Rugova had been reported by the KLA
(alongside three other leaders including Fehmi Agani) to have been killed
by the Serbs.
Covert Financing of "Freedom Fighters"

Remember Oliver North and the Contras? The pattern in Kosovo is
similar to other CIA covert operations in Central America, Haiti and
Afghanistan where "freedom fighters" were financed through the laundering
of drug money. Since the onslaught of the Cold War, Western intelligence
agencies have developed a complex relationship to the illegal narcotics
trade. In case after case, drug money laundered in the international
banking system has financed covert operations.


According to author Alfred McCoy, the pattern of covert financing
was established in the Indochina war. In the 1960s, the Meo army in Laos
was funded by the narcotics trade as part of

Note from Alan Spector:

As always, I (we) start off with the comment that the
Yugoslav/Serb/Milosovic campaign in Kosovo is just another capitalist
government consolidating power while causing grave harm to hundreds of
thousands of people. Genocide is not an accurate term, but clearly there
have been numerous murders and outright banditry.

However, this extreme demonizing of the Serbs and treating the ethnic
Albanian leadership as if there were saints is also ridiculous. FAIR
(Fairness  Accuracy in Reporting) a rather scrupulously careful media
watchdog group, found an article from the New York Times from 1987 which
offers some explanation as to why Milosovic revoked the autonomy of Kosovo
and tightened control. Among other things, the major ethnic Albanian
leadership had terrorized the minority Serbs, causing 20,000 Serbs to flee!
Whatever crimes the Serb leadership is guilty of, the ethnic Albanian
leadership can hardly be compared to the Jews or "gypsies" of Europe in the
1940s. There was plenty of ethnic cleansing to go around.

Following is the short introduction from FAIR, followed by the NYT article.

Rescued from the Memory Hole: Background of Serb/Albanian Conflict
March 31, 1999

There is always intense pressure in wartime for media outlets to serve as
propagandists rather than journalists. While the role of the journalist is
to present the world in all its complexity, so that people can make up
their
own minds, the propagandist simplifies the world in order to mobilize the
public behind a common goal.
One basic simplification is to interpret a conflict in terms of villains
and
victims, with no qualification allowed for either role. Conflicts in the
real world rarely fall into such simple categories: Particularly in ethnic
conflicts, both sides usually have legitimate grievances that are often
used
to justify a new round of abuses against the other side.

In presenting the background to the Kosovo conflict, U.S. news outlets
usually begin with Serbia's revocation of the Kosovo Albanians' autonomy in
1989. This was a crucial decision, one of the major reasons for the rise of
the Kosovo Liberation Army. It also destabilized the Yugoslavian system and
contributed to the country's breakup.

Yet media accounts have rarely explained why Serbia lifted Kosovo's
autonomy. The attached article, from the New York Times in 1987, gives
important background to this decision. Although the article is easily found
in the Nexis database, little to none of this information has found its way
into contemporary coverage of Kosovo, in the Times or anywhere else.

If one read a similar history of Kosovo written today, one would likely
dismiss it as pro-Serb propaganda. Yet this was written 12 years ago, when
Kosovo was an obscure corner of the world, and the New York Times would not
seem to have any particular interest in defending Serbs or attacking
Albanians.
It should be kept in mind that some of the charges in this article may be
exaggerated or politically motivated. Of course, the same is true of
atrocity reports that are being carried in the New York Times and other
papers today.

Portions of southern Yugoslavia have reached such a state of ethnic
friction
that Yugoslavs have begun to talk of the horrifying possibility of ''civil
war'' in a land that lost one-tenth of its population, or 1.7 million
people, in World War II.

The current hostilities pit separatist-minded ethnic Albanians against the

society,
from the highest officials to the humblest peasants.
A young Army conscript of ethnic Albanian origin shot up his barracks,
killing four sleeping Slavic bunkmates and wounding six others.
The army says it has uncovered hundreds of subversive ethnic Albanian cells
in its ranks. Some arsenals have been raided.

United Europe

European Central Bank Cuts Target Rate By a Half-Percent

But it didn't lift the euro. Gee, fancy that.

FRANKFURT - The European Central Bank Thursday aggressively lowered
interest rates for the Continent's 11-nation single-currency bloc,
citing an economic slowdown, slumping confidence and weak job creation.
''I wanted the move to be as convincing as possible,'' ECB President Wim
Duisenberg said after the bank's governing board voted to cut its entire
panoply of lending rates.

The ECB reduced its benchmark money market rate to 2.5 percent from 3
percent, more deeply than many economists had expected. Simultaneously
it reduced its other two official rates that create a corridor for
euro-bloc overnight bank lending, dropping the upper-end marginal
lending rate by a full percentage point to 3.5 percent and its lower-end
deposit facility by a half-point to 1.5 percent.

The deep easing in the terms of credit was intended to lubricate
Europe's sluggish economies while shielding the ECB from its many
political critics who have denounced the three-month-old bank for its
previous inaction on interest rates. The action Thursday was the first
interest-rate move since Europe's common currency, the euro, was
introduced Jan. 1.

But the move failed to give the currency a lift against the dollar
Thursday, as the euro lost gains registered early in the day. In late
trading in New York, the euro was quoted at $1.0743, down from $1.0783
on Wednesday.

Mr. Duisenberg bluntly served notice that the credit easing Thursday
would be the last in the current economic cycle, expressly shifting
responsibility for the Continent's high unemployment to Europe's
political leaders.

''The unacceptably high rate of unemployment is due to structural
factors and inefficiencies in markets for labor and markets for goods,''
he said.

Highlighting Europe's overall slowdown, Britain separately cut rates
Thursday in hope of providing support to that country's nascent economic
recovery.

Now that the ECB has said it has done all it can, Mr. Duisenberg pressed
governments to undertake painful structural deregulation and tax
measures to unleash new activity. By cutting rates, the central banker
said he wanted to disarm the politicians who had blamed unemployment on
central banks, saying it would now be more clear than ever that monetary
policy could not compensate for structural rigidities.

Europe is dragging itself through an unexpectedly pronounced slump even
as Asia is showing tentative signs of recovery and the United States has
defied the effects of the Asian crisis with surprisingly powerful
growth.

While unemployment in the United States last month fell to a 29-year
low, Mr. Duisenberg noted that euro-bloc job creation registered ''a
certain deceleration'' in the last three months of last year. Germany -
which accounts for more than a third of the euro bloc's output -
reported Thursday that German unemployment fell in March by only 3,000
on a seasonally adjusted basis, keeping unemployment near its worst
levels since the 1930s.

But a recession remains out of the question for now, Mr. Duisenberg
said.

''We see a slowdown in the economic development,'' he said. ''We do not
see or do not yet see a recession to be on our hands.''

The ECB effectively has deployed every tool at its disposal to revive
growth by adding Thursday's deep interest-rate reduction to its apparent
acceptance of the euro's relatively weak exchange rate. A weak currency
bolsters exports by making them cheaper on world markets.

The ECB, the guardian of the new currency, seemed Thursday to indicate a
new and more relaxed attitude about the euro's drop of nearly 10 percent
against the dollar.

''We are not at all dissatisfied with that level,'' Mr. Duisenberg said.


Acceptance of the relatively soft euro marks a shift from initial signs
of alarm in the weeks immediately following the euro's birth, economists
say. Since then, the political background has changed, starting with
last month's surprise resignation as finance minister of Oskar
Lafontaine, the German official who had taken the lead in blaming
Europe's central bankers for the Continent's economic ailments.

Bombs Away
FROM THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1997
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE NETLY NEWS
Internet fear-mongering is back in vogue inside the White House. The
Clinton administration escalated its assault on the Net this week,
warning that it provides bomb-making recipes to anyone "with a modem"
and proposing a new law to restrict such information.
In a 53-page report released on Tuesday, the Department of Justice
alleges that criminals are trawling cyberspace for how-to kits on making
explosives. "ATF statistics reflect that, between 1985 and June 1996,
the investigations of at least 30 bombings and four attempted bombings
resulted in the recovery of bomb-making literature that the suspects had
obtained from the Internet," the report says. "A member of the DoJ
committee accessed a single web site on the World Wide Web and obtained
the titles of 110 different bomb-making texts."
That's not all. On Monday, Defense Secretary William Cohen blamed the
Internet for spreading bomb-making info and encouraging terrorist
attacks. Then yesterday the Justice Department told a House subcommittee
that "terrorists, organized crime, child pornographers, drug cartels,
financial predators, hostile foreign intelligence agents, and other
criminals" will benefit from unbreakable encryption.

It's no surprise: Washington bureaucrats want to control the Net. And
what better excuse than protecting children? The Justice Department
study says: "ATF investigators participated in the investigation of two
North Attleboro, Massachusetts, juveniles, aged 11 and 14, who were
injured while attempting to make an improvised explosive device. The
youths had retrieved from the Internet information on how to make
napalm, and were badly burned when a mixture being heated on a kitchen
stove ignited."


Nowhere does the government admit that it's the parents' job to tell
their kids not to cook napalm in Mom's frying pan. And, of course,
detailed instructions on bomb-making can be found not just online, but
in libraries and even government bookstores. "Such information is
readily available to anyone with a Waldenbooks bookstore in the local
mall or who has access to a public library," says Bob Corn-Revere, an
attorney at the Washington firm of Hogan  Hartson. "Such information is
readily available to anyone who can read. When you boil down these
arguments to their essential root, the argument is that there's just too
much speech out there."

"Call me cynical, but the fact that this is coming out during the
Oklahoma bombing trial strikes me as not coincidental," Corn-Revere
says.

Indeed, it was the Oklahoma bombing that spurred Sen. Dianne Feinstein
(D-Calif.), one of D.C.'s most censor-happy politicos, into action two
years ago. Rescue workers were still pulling bodies from the rubble when
she tried to score some political points by banning bomb-making
instructions in print or online. She attached her amendment to an
anti-terrorism bill that Congress was considering. Sen. Joe Biden
(D-Del.) joined her in moral outrage, saying his staff found a recipe on
Usenet for "baby food bombs" that were "so powerful that they can
destroy a car." (Note to the U.S. Senate: Don't believe everything you
read on netnews.)

Then Feinstein ran up against the First Amendment. Frank Tuerkheimer, a
former federal prosecutor, told the Senate Judiciary Committee in May
1995 that "our obligations to remain true to the basic values that
characterize our system of government" should not "be weakened by the
horrors of the moment." The House Republicans scuttled Feinstein's plan
in favor of requiring the Justice Department to report on the
availability of bomb-makinginformation and to recommend new laws if
necessary.

Now the Justice Department proposes a law even broader than Feinstein's
boondoggle: It would ban descriptions about the "use" of explosives in
addition to information on their manufacture, and restrict information
on "destructive devices" and "weapons of mass destruction" as well. It
would, however, require a prosecutor to prove a defendant had intent to
"further" a crime. "We have concluded that Senator Feinstein's proposal
can withstand constitutional muster in most, if not all, of its possible
applications, if such legislation is slightly modified in several
respects that we propose," the report says.

Will Feinstein take the bait and try again? "As far as future plans, I
don't know," a staffer told me.

Of course she'll try again. Politicians can't help but grandstand on top
of tragedy. Which is why Feinstein and her colleagues would do well to
listen to Justice Brandeis, who wrote in 1928: "The greatest threats to
liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but
without understanding."

"The Whole Continent of America Will Become English"

Aaron Burr was sworn in as Vice-President of the United States on March 4,
1801. Thomas Jefferson was sworn in as President, and appointed Albert
Gallatin Secretary of the Treasury.

The United States had been the victim of undeclared war by the British since
the Treaty of Paris officially ended the American War for Independence in
1783. British forces, in Canada and in forts still occupied by the British
within the United States, directed Indian attacks against American frontier
settlers until 1796. Under the pretext of war with France, British Secretary
of State Henry Dundas in 1793 had signed an order authorizing British
warships to attack and seize U.S. vessels that might have been trading with
the colonies of France.

About 550 American ships were indiscriminately seized, their cargoes stolen,
and their crews kidnapped and "impressed" into the British navy. Thousands of
U.S. seamen—as many as 10-20,000 were dragged onto British warships.

As British-French warfare intensified in the late 1790s, the French also
began attacking U.S. ships, seizing the cargo of perhaps 350 ships. Since the
American sailors spoke a different language, they could be of no use to the
French navy.

At the same time North African fiefdoms—the "Barbary pirates"—were maintained
by British money and supplies as a terrorist auxiliary to the British navy,
ensuring British rule of the sea by crippling or destroying other nations'
transatlantic commerce.

Prior to the Jefferson administration, the American government had made a
start toward defending itself against this onslaught. A brief summary of
these efforts will be useful for comparison with the policy the
Jefferson-Burr-Gallatin administration was to adopt beginning in 1801.(1)

The first public works law, passed in 1789, had set up federal control of
aids to navigation. Treasury Secretary Hamilton personally directed the
construction of the Cape Henry lighthouse, built in 1792 at the entrance to
Chesapeake Bay, and in use until 1881. The Montauk lighthouse at the end of
Long Island was built in 1797.

Hamilton got congressional authorization in 1790 for ten boats to patrol the
coast against smuggling, a project which was the ancestor of today's Coast
Guard.

Fears of renewed war with Great Britain led to congressional authorization
for the first American system of seacoast fortifications: repairing three
existing positions and fortifying 16 additional harbors. The Corps of
Artillerists and Engineers was created in 1795 to direct most fortification
work, including Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor.

The southern frontiers were defended against the Spanish and the Indians by
four forts built in Georgia, and the army took over Fort Stevens at Mobile
from the Spanish. Under the 1796 Jay Treaty, the United States took from the
British Forts Niagara and Oswego in upstate New York, and Forts
Michilimackinac and Detroit in Michigan.

Fort Washington was built in the Ohio territory at the site of what was later
the city of Cincinnati. Fort Pickering was built in 1797 at the mouth of the
Tennessee River. A fort was built in 1797 on the Mississippi River near
present-day Vicksburg.

The first post-Revolutionary naval construction began in 1794 in response to
the attacks of the North African terrorists ("pirates"). President Washington
was initially authorized to commission 2,060 naval personnel, while six
frigates were to be built.

The first three frigates, the United States, the Constellation and the
Constitution, were completed in 1797. Then-congressional opposition leader
Albert Gallatin fought against their construction, on the grounds that "If
the sums to be expended to build and maintain the frigates were applied to
paying a part of our national debt, the payment would make us more
respectable in the eyes of foreign nations than all the frigates we can
build.”(2)

The other three authorized ships were built in 1798 when the French attacks
intensified, and the Department of the Navy was created in 1798. Navy
Secretary Benjamin Stoddert of Maryland purchased land and set up
government-owned naval yards for ship construction: in Washington, near the
capital; in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with ample timber and skilled
craftsmen; in Boston, where the legislature ceded choice land; in Brooklyn,
New York, at an old Revolutionary War anchorage; in Norfolk, Virginia; and in
Philadelphia at the foot of Broad Street.

After the 1801 election, Congress completed the Washington-Adams program by
appropriating an additional $500,000 for the building of six more warships
and the completion of yards, docks, and wharves.

The regular army was strengthened and a 15,000-man provisional force was
created in 1797. General Alexander Hamilton was second

Research Law Fight: Right to Know, or to Squelch?
By John Schwartz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, April 5, 1999; Page A07

It seemed like such a simple idea at first: Make all data from federally
funded scientific research more available to the public. How could
anyone, especially scientists, be against openness and the public's
right to examine or better understand science?

But it has turned out to be far from simple. The federal law intended to
make that happen has triggered loud and angry opposition from the
scientific community.

"This is a meat-ax approach to access to data when it's actually a fine
scalpel that's required," said Mary Ellen Sheridan of the University of
Chicago at a recent forum on the issue held at the American Association
for the Advancement of Science.

Scientists and the institutions they work for say the law will add to
the costs of research, will be used to harass and intimidate researchers
whose work angers powerful interest groups and companies, and could
expose their work to the prying eyes of potential academic and
commercial competitors. They contend that it will even imperil the
privacy of people who volunteer for research projects.

Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.) said he sponsored the bill, passed by
Congress at the end of last year, after he was refused access to Harvard
School of Public Health studies that the Environmental Protection Agency
used to develop controversial new air pollution rules.

EPA Administrator Carol M. Browner said she could not release the data
because it belonged to Harvard; the university had refused to hand the
data over to critical industry groups such as the American Petroleum
Institute. The Harvard researchers eventually turned the data over to a
third party for review, but Shelby wasn't mollified.

"The taxpayers are paying billions of dollars for scientific research
that they have a right to have access to," Shelby said. "Any study ought
to be able to be defended, if it's worth publishing, if it's worth
making policies over. . . . I think that's just common sense."

Now some lawmakers are trying to repeal the law, which makes federally
funded research subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

"This is clearly one of those things that becomes more complicated the
more we look at it," said Jean Fruci, an aide to Rep. George E. Brown
Jr. (D-Calif.), who has introduced a repeal bill. "You spend a little
bit of time up here on the Hill, when something looks too good to be
true, you know you're in trouble," Fruci said.

Brown does not question Shelby's motives in passing the original bill,
and Fruci noted that Congress passed the law and President Clinton
signed it. "If it's a mistake, it's a bipartisan mistake."

But drug companies, too, have expressed reservations about the law. It
is "potentially chilling on the conduct of clinical trials--which is
certainly not good public policy," said Chuck Ludlam, vice president for
government relations at the Biotechnology Industry Association. The
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America has voiced similar
worries about patient confidentiality and trade secrets.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has made an initial attempt to
draft regulations based on the new law, narrowing its scope to apply
only to published research and to research that is used as the basis for
making federal policy or rules. But those who oppose the law say it
cannot be tinkered into better shape.

"FOIA is really a blunt instrument when it comes to striking the right
balance" between the need to share data and to protect researchers and
their work, said Nils Hasselmo, president of the American Association of
University Professors. In a recent letter to the OMB, Hasselmo wrote:
"We do not believe it is possible for OMB to allay these concerns given
the problems inherent in the underlying statute."

Shelby staff members said FOIA has exceptions to protect commercially
sensitive information and confidential medical information.

Scientists and institutions opposing the new law say their fears that
the law will be used to harass are not idle speculation: State open
records laws, they say, have already been used to punish researchers
whose results anger powerful companies and patient-advocacy groups.

Oregon drug researcher Bruce Psaty, for example, contends that his work
on the health risks of drugs known as calcium channel blockers was met
with harassing investigations by drug companies. "These public records
laws that were supposed to protect the public were really subverted in
behalf of private interests," he said.

Similarly, Paul Fisher, a Georgia-based doctor, said his state's laws
helped drive him out of research altogether. He published an

April 8th 1999.

It's few minutes after 10PM already, and no emergency sirens... That's
pretty odd, because we were almost getting used to NATO raids around 8 or 9
PM. (Ooops, they just announced the state of Emergency, at 10.15).
Last night, the Oil Refinery in Pancevo was not attacked, but many people
have left the town already because of the fear of ecological
disaster...Gordana hoped that we will spot the shop which sells cigaretes
somewhere, because the que will not be so huge in the emptied town...But it
seems that all the supplies were sold out already.  Dozens of buses
prepared in case of need  for evacuation were parked in few parts of the
town. Gordana went to her job in a near-by village, to find out that it was
full of people who escaped there from the town last evening...
Tonight, rock bands are playing a concert on a large bridge over Danube,
which connects Pancevo and Belgrade... Let's hope that it will convince
NATO  not to drop bombs while the people are there?
Last night the bombs fell on the Justice Court building in the very heart
of Belgrade. The building was not used by the military at all, and it was a
coicidence that nobody was hurt, as the passers-by (despite the emergency)
were walking there on the pavement and watched the projectile  falling from
the sky in a beautiful evening...
I saw the report about bombings of a small town of Cuprija, the place that
I visited several times... I remember it as a quiet, sleepy town, and it
was bizarre to see the buildings and little shops destroyed, with the
articles from the boutiques spilled all over the place... As the bombing
campaign progress, more and more civilian targets have been shot, and more
and more people are being killed and yet it's hard to find out about the
egzact number of the victims... I guess that authorities think that it will
be too depressing to count deads in situation like this?...
On the lighter side of reality, we heard that Serbian cartoonist Ivana
Filipovic has succesfully moved to Vancouver, Canada...Good luck, Ivana!
Also, friends from Galago (one of the best European alternative comics
magazines)  said that they are ready to come to Belgrade for the exhibition
of contemporary Swedish comics scene , as soon as the war stops. The
exhibition was in preparation shortly before the whole madness began...I
hope to see you soon, guys.

The first time I saw L. Larouche speak was on TV years ago.  I switched to
the channel he was on and, quite honestly, thought I was watching a skit on

frankly, I thought is was a nut case.  Fortunately, in all insanity there

Re: [CTRL] Skolnick Sees Hitler-Style Plan (fwd)

1999-04-09 Thread Colleen Jones

 -Caveat Lector-

This green card stuff is like putting the Star of David on the Jews
during WWII; an emblem, of which they could be proud, but resulted in
Hitler's Master plan identifying his enemies.

The green card became popular in the mid eighty period; I knew one
Iranian who was broken hearted over the sitution with his home country
and the USA; he loved America, and wanted to return to Iran - he was
into computer programming and suddenly, he was the enemy with or without
a green card.

During WWII of course, one could tell the Japanese when they were taken
from their homes; there were cartoons with Japanese, all with buck
teeth; yet, if one looked at Eleanor Roosevelt, her teeth were the
buckiest of buckiestso another enemy identified and march to
concentration camps.

Now, all this talk about the concentration camps;  the the Mexican guard
going after those wishing to excape from Mexico, to come to the land
where the streets are paved with gold.

Now does one wonder why China built the great wall; of whom do they have
to be afraid.  In a ground war, we would be out numbered; their size, is
what has kept them unreachable, the weakness was the love of the scholar
and not the warriorJapan beat them in a war?

It is a time warp as recorded in one communication = it is 1938, only it
looks like we are about to become the butcherslook at Janet Reno,
that Butcher of Wacoif they do that to American Citizens, who have
done no harm except to try to explaint what this Master Plan is (after
all, Hitler thrived in the Revelations) so the Feds made it possible for
how many people was it - men, women, children, to burn in the fiery
furnances - remember what happend to the Jewish people, men, women, and
children.creamation.

Hallep Bobb's Do and David Korerish, and he took that name right out of
the bible - were trying to tell the American people that we were walking
into a trap.   Clinton is the Beast in the Revelations, not Hitler
...and it is all symbolism.   If the truth be known, if people read
their Old Testament, they would not want their children to read it.
But, it is the law - ever stop to think of that - that our constitution
replaced the bible, with the law.andn it is up to the peope to rule,
not these so called demigods to rule.  These people in the Congress and
the office of the President are to serve and provide services; they are
not to play games of sodomy in the White House while they are putting
the foulest of TV programming on the air not fit for human consumption;
they are feeding the people garbage...

Prior to WWII, Hitler's Germany had pornography spread all over the
country; books on black magic, propagand to hate the Jew - but first, as
I recall, didn't Hitler disarm the people of Germany?

Well we see what Hitler did; and Clinton has the makings of a monster
greater than HitlerHitler, took on the work of the League of
Nations; Clinton takes on work of the UN, but has even superseded its
powers, by the creation of a war force called NATO which is about to
replace the UN in Europe.


Yes, there is Evil iunder the sun, and it began this time, in Clinton's
Garden of Eden, where he has reduced the levelof this country to the
serpent and he expects the people of this country to slither around with
him in the mud.

Vote them all out.   Take Al Gore, this born again Christian, and get a
good look at him.  What is he; who is he; why is he.

Pat Buchanan begins to look better and better to me; he speaks the truth
- but he better speak the whole truth, because Americans are fed up with
the news media, and both major parties.

They want a real man in the White House, not a simpering little Coward
hiding behind the skirts of two women = one the Butcher of Waco, and the
other, Madam Albright...the would be butcher of the Balkans.

[CTRL] PENTAGON MODIFIED THE ANTHRAX VACCINE

1999-04-09 Thread Hilary A. Thomas

 -Caveat Lector-

SCIENTIFIC AND DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE SUGGESTS
THAT THE PENTAGON MODIFIED THE ANTHRAX VACCINE
May 1999 Vanity Fair Article Reveals Results Of Recent Medical Study;
Nuremberg Code Violations Alleged

WASHINGTON, D.C. --

The May 1999 issue of Vanity Fair, which will be available next week,
reveals the results of a study that found the presence of squalene, a
highly
toxic adjuvant that does not have FDA approval, in the blood of those
military personnel who have received the anthrax vaccine. The study,
which
was performed by a Tennessee molecular biologist and immunologists at
Tulane
University Medical School, examined the blood of approximately 350
persons
including Gulf War veterans and current servicemembers. One subject
group of
those suffering from Gulf War Syndrome, each of whom had received the
anthrax
vaccine, tested 100% positive for squalene.

The article also revealed the existence of previously unknown
attempts by the
Pentagon to subcontract the manufacture of the anthrax vaccine at
locations
unlicensed and unregulated by the FDA. This story follows the issuance
of a
General Accounting Office report issued on March 29, 1999, concluding
that
the Pentagon should determine if squalene is a contributing factor in
Gulf
War Syndrome.

"If proven true, the Defense Department has committed conduct similar
in nature to that which we condemned the Nazis from performing 50 years
ago.
It would mean our troops have been used as guinea pigs," said Mark S.
Zaid,
Executive Director of The James Madison Project (JMP). Zaid added that
the
presence of a non-FDA approved adjuvant in the anthrax vaccine would
change
the vaccine to being "experimental", thereby requiring the military to
obtain
voluntary consent before inoculation. JMP is
actively exploring filing a class action injunction against the
Department of
Defense for an immediate  cessation of the anthrax vaccination program,
which
is currently
mandatory.

The Defense Department has implemented plans to inoculate all 2.4
million active duty personnel against anthrax at an estimated cost of
$130
million. The immunization series calls for six injections of the "killed
bacteria" vaccine over a period of 18 months, followed by annual booster
shots. Vaccinations began in March 1998. The FDA first approved the
vaccine
for civilian use against incidental infection in 1970. However, concerns
have
been raised about the vaccine's effectiveness against massive doses of
weaponized anthrax anticipated in an intentional biological warfare
attack.
In addition, the only FDA-approved manufacturer, the Michigan Biologic
Products Institute (now BioPort), has been repeatedly cited for quality
control problems.

"The Defense Department has openly misled its personnel and the
American public on the overall safety of the anthrax vaccine. The
evidence
unequivocally demonstrates that no information exists concerning the
long-term effect of the vaccine on humans, and that the adverse reaction
rates are up to seven times greater than approved by the manufacturer
and the
FDA," said Mr. Zaid. He added that recently obtained internal documents
revealed that the Pentagon had determined the current six shot series
was
"outdated" and "unnecessary", yet still implemented the vaccination
program.
Mr. Zaid presented his findings at a hearing held before the
Subcommittee on
National Security, Veterans Affairs, and International Relations of the
Committee on Government Reform in
the U.S. House of Representatives on March 24, 1999.

In April 1998, Mr. Zaid was the first attorney to represent military
personnel refusing the vaccine when several sailors onboard the U.S.S.
Independence refused to submit to the vaccination. As General Counsel
for the
non-profit organization Veterans for Integrity in Government, Mr. Zaid
also
filed an action in June 1998, under the Freedom of Information Act that
forced the Defense Department and the military to disclose thousands of

pages
of documents that were previously unseen. JMP recently represented
Airman
Jeffrey Bettendorf in his court-martial proceeding, the first involving
an
anthrax refuser, at Travis Air Force Base based on his refusal to submit
to
the anthrax vaccine. Currently, JMP represents four Marines who are
facing
court-martial proceedings at Twenty-Nine Palms in California.

JMP is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization with the
primary purpose of educating the public on issues relating to
intelligence
gathering and operations, secrecy policies, national security and
government
wrongdoing. JMP also handles litigation under the Freedom of Information
and
Privacy Acts, including representation of news organizations,
journalists,
authors, intelligence officers, whistleblowers or others who allege harm
at
the hand of a government, foreign or domestic, in matters involving
intelligence, national security and government accountability issues.

way too as this is the basis by which they prosecuted manson. manson did
not do the deeds himself but the acts were manifestations of how he felt.
they say that he did but manson did not actually send his followers out to

i feel the same as you that it is not the realm of the law to dictate how

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: FC: My subpoena from the Department of Justice

1999-04-09 Thread Colleen Jones

 -Caveat Lector-

Don't feel bad; I had an FBI watch on me, but was told by two Teamsters
packing rods that "well, anyway, you were cleared; they know you are
getting the information on your own".well, I should hope so, and I
figured if "I could get the information on my own" anybody could.

Yet, the coverup continued, and I kept hoping someone would do
something.  Wel Nelson Rockefeller put out the word - anybody knowing
anything about the JFK assassination, write.and you know what I did,
I wrote a letter but I also gave him hell for covering up the whole
thing in the first place.

One day, my doorbell rang.two men were standing outside my door,
which I mistook for Fuller Brush Men, or Avan CallingI answere same,
and heard someting like "the vice president sent us", to which I replied
"the vice president of what", nd they said "Of the United States"/

So, i asked them come back at 4:00, as I was in my robe.and they
did.  The first thing they did was look at my book shelf, and then asked
me what I thought of Kissinger, which must have been a test
questionI though - who, Code Name BORbut refrained from comment
and just shrugged my shoulders.they asked if I had a gun in the
house..heavens no, and I didn't even have a Pit Bull then.

Now my sister was an artist;  and I had this big painting on the wall of
the Red Devil, that a priest had bought.it was really
something.this one agent said who did that = and without thinking I
said "my sister painted that - it looks like this attorney I know"..

Well, this man, a gentleman, said "yes, some attornies are like
that".and then the questions..they knew what college I had gone
to, and of course let this slip apparently they had traced me back to
Darwin's golden monkies.to make things worse, Dale Reusch the Grand
Dragon of the KKK had just been there and stuck the KKK cross on my
door, because quite frankly, at that time I needed all the protection I
could get.

So, there I saw with all these books on the Illuminati, the KKK, the
Mafia, the Bible, the CIA, and a KKK cross on my door, and I asked why
they had called upon me.

Well, it was that letter that I had written Rockefeller.  And I said -
and I recall this - Oh that, well he asked for itthe
information, I meant.

The one agen dropped his pencil and pad; the other rolled his eyes.   I
knew what they were thinkingI had to be a basket case.

They had one bit of friendly advice; they said "be careful what you
write in letters, it could get you into a lot of trouble".

Frankly, the onoy thing I wrote about in that letter, was the CIA the
Mafia, Adolph Hitler, the KKK, my Bible Code, and all the
cover=upsand I said every Mason in the country knew what was going
on.

Now, what I had said was quite accurate, only at the time,one did not
read this in the newsppaers.


Later, I got angry and called the SS and asked for "Mr. Miracle".and
this man said "Oh, you're the one they called on today".they were
laughting, so at least I was off the hook in one respect, but now, a
basket case on their list.

However, I was right.I asked this agent, just to be nasty, what is
the biggest secret about making counterfeit money.and he said, of
course, it is the paper..and I said well, why are they selling
shredded money to a man in Dallas, who in turn is selling it.and
this was during the time when CIA was issuing its own money.

Well, at least I knew tht I could not trust the Vice President of the
United States sending two of his Fuller Brush men to see me (Avon is
owned by the Rockefllers I understand, and when I hear Avon Calling, I
raise the moat).

Looking back I can laugh at this;  I had broken no laws, I knew there
was something wrong; my newsman was dead, and the other one had told me
"Hey got kids, got family"but I still had Sybil who by now, realized
that what I had was valid.

I took the kKK cross off the door, and sent the Illuminati records to an
underground church that looks reputable from the front; and I got rid of
my Black Muslim newspapers,  and got a phoney name to use at the
library, as they even watched the books I was reading.

Now, if they do this stuff to an averge americn citizen, imagine wht
they woud do to someone with a little clout, like his own newspaper.

Such is life;  and the Hell with the Chief - its every man for himself.

:
: WHY BLAIR'S 'HUMANITARIAN' WAR IS EVEN WORSE
:
: Mick Hume, LM editor
:
: For the first time, a Labour prime minister leads Britain into a major
: international war. What's more, Tony Blair is being cheered on loudest by
: the 'peacenik' Guardian and 'Red' Ken Livingstone, while Tory MPs and the
: Daily Mail worry about the war. If anybody still doubts that the era of
: traditional right v left politics has ended, let them inspect the evidence
: in the craters Bomber Blair and his NATO allies have left behind in
Serbia.
:
: Some on the old left see this as a case of New Labour taking over the
: mantle of Thatcher-style militarism. But it is worse than that. The grim
: truth is that those who now wage war in the name of humanitarianism are
: even more dangerous than the old war parties.
:
: Blair himself has made clear that the war against Milosevic's Serbia 'is
no
: longer just a military conflict. It is a battle between Good and Evil;
: between civilisation and barbarity'.
:
: In such a fundamental battle, the righteous do not feel themselves
: constrained in the way one might do during a mere 'military conflict'.
:
: Traditional right-wing militarists might have tailored their battle
: strategy to take account of the needs of realpolitik and diplomacy; after
: all, their wars were only supposed to uphold their national interests.
: Blair's war, on the other hand, is a grand mission to save humanity. And
: when you are running such a high-minded crusade, you need recognise no
: restraints on the ground. Those who proclaim that they have right on their
: side can do no wrong.
:
: That is why, as they drop their cluster bombs and fire their Cruise
: missiles from the vantage point of the moral high ground, Blair and his
: ministers and generals refuse even to consider that NATO's missions are
: killing people and destroying a country. They are simply 'degrading' the
: 'killing machine' of the evil Milosevic. Confronted with the fact that
: their war has caused a catastrophe in Kosovo, they insist that NATO air
: strikes are actually preventing a humanitarian disaster. Faced with the
: hard evidence of how NATO bombing raids have reduced areas of the Kosovan
: capital, Pristina, to rubble, they say that the Serbs must have inflicted
: the damage themselves.
:
: If NATO's Good Humanitarians believe that they are necessarily innocent of
: any offence, then they are equally certain that the Evil Serbs must be
: guilty of everything of which they have been accused. So foreign secretary
: Robin Cook, defence secretary George Robertson and their media mouthpieces
: report as fact every horror story coming out of the war zone.
:
: And when these are proved to be untrue (as when 'executed' ethnic Albanian
: leaders turn up alive; a Pristina football stadium housing a
'concentration
: camp' of 10 000 is found to be empty; or the school where '20 teachers
were
: murdered in front of their pupils' turns out to be in a village of only
200
: people), they refuse to admit it. Why worry about the facts when there is
: always another unsubstantiated atrocity tale that can justify sending in
: helicopter gunships for the cause of Good?
:
: If there is no restraint on the conduct of Blair's humanitarian war, there
: can be no questioning of it either. Uncooperative BBC journalists are
: accused of aiding the evil Milosevic, while Serb TV is threatened with
: bombing unless it starts broadcasting NATO propaganda. Norman Tebbit was a
: champion of free speech by comparison to this.
:
: This war is not about Kosovo. It is an out-of-control moral crusade, which
: Blair went into without any clear war aims; a war launched on the premise
: that Something Must Be Done to demonstrate how his ethical New Britain
: bestrides the world as a force for Good. It is a crusade which has taken
on
: a dynamic of its own, jacking up the military stakes along with the
: righteous rhetoric, as the KLA is transformed from a proscribed terrorist
: organisation into an unofficial member of the NATO alliance, and more NATO

Study: Major Ice Shelves Melting

LONDON (AP) - Global warming has speeded the melting of two Antarctic ice
shelves, which lost nearly 1,100 square miles of area in the last year, U.S.
and British researchers say.

Researchers at the University of Colorado and the British Atlantic Survey in
Cambridge say regional warming has increased the annual melt season by up to
three weeks over the past two decades, putting the Larsen B and Wilkins
shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula in ``full retreat.''

Satellite photos show the Larsen B ice shelf has continued to crumble after
an initial small retreat in the spring of 1998, the researchers said
Wednesday. Since November, another 660 square miles of shelf area caved
away.

On the other side of the peninsula, the Wilkins ice shelf retreated nearly
420 square miles in early March 1998, said Ted Scambos, a research associate
at the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data
Center.

``The radar images showed a large area of completely shattered ice,
indicating an ice front 35 kilometers (21 miles) back from its previous
extent,'' said Scambos.

He said thousands of small icebergs had appeared, suggesting ``that the
shelves are essentially broken up in place and then flushed out by storms or
currents afterward.''

David Vaughan, a researcher with British Antarctic Survey, said ice shelves
in the area have been in retreat for 50 years but those losses have only
included about 2,700 square miles.

``Within a few years, much of the Wilkins ice shelf will be gone,'' he said.

But Vaughan said the meltdown has few implications for the environment.
Birds and animals are not known to rely on the ice shelves and there would
be no increase in sea levels ``because an ice shelf is floating anyway.''

Since the 1940s, British researchers have reported an increase in mean
annual temperature in the Antarctic of 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer
temperatures now approach, and sometimes exceed 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Ice shelves are floating plates of ice that are still attached to
continents, which form when large glaciers flow toward the ocean in polar
areas.

Larsen B is about 2,700 square miles, the size of Delaware. Wilkins is
nearly twice that size.

Athens, April 7 (Tanjug)- The NATO generals in Brussels cannot hide
their anger and deep concern with the losses the alliance has sustained
in its war operations against Yugoslavia, the Greek daily Athinaiki
writes Wednesday.

The daily said it had obtained top secret information according to which
88 NATO troops had been reported missing. About half of them are
Americans, 11 are German, 8 French, 7 British, and 18 are from other
NATO member-states.

The NATO believes its missing soldiers are not dead, the daily writes.

According to the same sources, the NATO has so far also lost 32 aircraft
in its operations against Yugoslavia.

   I agree. I have found much Larouche's stuff very interesting and

that I recognized the Larouche connection fairly quickly. They seem to
have certain phrases or thought patterns which are very recognizable. I
was once talking to a guy who was about the same age as Larouche. This
was maybe twenty years ago. Anyway, we were talking about music and he
mentioned that he liked the "crystalline structure" of Bach's music.
That phrase seemed to be something I would hear from a LaRouche, so I
asked him if he had ever heard of him. It turned out that he had been a

Re: [CTRL] Treason in America

1999-04-09 Thread Colleen Jones

 -Caveat Lector-

I would like to add something here; years ago at Silver Springs MD I met
this couple friends of my sister.  They lived on a huge estate, and he
was the Captain over Andrews AFBsome years later, my sisters and I
wanted to go to Russiamy brother-in-law said no, but he then got a
letter from the government "advising due to his position" us going over
there.

So, we were told that if we went, expect to be pulled off a train in
Poland or somewhere, held for investigation, and then let go when our
vacationtime ws up.  Not want to cause trouble, we decided not to go.

The Captain retired from Andrews, and he and his wife were going to go
overseas, which they did; the only thing I know for sure, is they were
taken off a train, and had to escape Europe through the underground.

Now, the Captain is dead, and the lady is quite old now; she was a
beaitufl woman; and guess what, now the last I heard some years back, my
sister was concerned because she had given over $200,000 to Larouch and
his gang.

I know no more of this, or what happened, but I am sure by now if this
lady has not died, she is probably on her way to an insane asylum

She had a beautiful teakwood hand carved piana, that Jose Iturbi had
once used; greenhouses, treesgorgeous home

So when I hear the name of Larouch, I equate him to a Jerry Falwell, or
one of those tv hucksters of religion, who know what this God Bu$in$$ is
all about - the fleesing of their flocks of a lot of gold.

Colleen

Just a thought; no this story to be true, but do not with to use names
other than to say the couple in question once hd a lot of connections,
and were 100% American.

the Senators stood by an empty coffin being lowered into the ground.
What did these coffins contan?

You see, someone always knows where the bodies are buried.Danny

What happened to John Ashbrook; well, his brother had been murdered by a

There was a lot more than a body buried later; now where are the bodies
of the American heros who remained loyal not to Clinton, but to their
duty under orders as soldiers.

It will take a lot to bury this story, if it be true.I heard a

[CTRL] Respect in debate .

1999-04-09 Thread MPins104

 -Caveat Lector-

Dear List,

I don't write here very often but appreciate some of the articles forwarded
by others. However, the recent comments made by some list members about God
and Christianity have brought me to the decision that I must leave this list.
I refer to the statement that " God knocked up a virgin and left someone else
to bring up his Kid " as an illustration that God does not take
responsibility for His creation.

My comment to this is that you are ignorant of the truth about God and His
heart for the broken and wounded. I found this incredibly offensive and
hurtful - degrading something which is extremely precious to me and a faith
without which I would certainly not be alive. As a survivor of Mkultra MC and
extensive abuse resulting in my having DID, my Christian faith is something
that gives me strength and support as well as being light in those oh so very
dark places of my life. I ask whether anyone would make such derogatory
comments about the doctrine of Jews or of Muslims ?

I consider myself to be tolerant and accepting of the humanity and brokenness
of others and have many friends who are of other races and some who are
homosexual. Each person's freedom to choose is important for me because of
the negative  influences of my background. I would never thrust my faith at
someone else, but present it as the truth I know. The dignity of humankind is
also very important to me. I value discusssion and debate, but also hold that
within debate, others with opposing opinions and points of view are still
respected and heard. This is why I feel so upset about the comment I
mentioned.

Pearl I am hopeful that you will decide to stay here.  But if you must leave,
then do so.  My comments may mean nothing to you or anyone else here but I
offer them anyway.  This list is about conspiracy and as such religion is
something that must be discussed, and that includes Jewish and Muslim
religion as well, and any number of other ones.  The reason is that religion
is all about control.  Issues of faith and belief have no place here on this
list and if you have a belief that God is good and that Jesus is your savior
there is no one who should try to remove that from you.  But foundations and
methods are fair game and sometimes comments are made that can appear to be
disrespectful.  There is much about religion that is disrespectful of other
beliefs, especially Christianity since it advocates itself as the ONE and
ONLY pathway to salvation, therefore it holds that all other belief systems
are wrong.  Strong words that are disrespectful and mean to many I'm sure.
Respect should be maintained for persons, but the ideas are always fair game.
 The bottom line for all religious issues involved with belief is that IF it
is something that brings YOU peace, happiness, or serenity then it is VALID
for YOU.  Your beliefs are your right.
Some can handle this others can't, that is why there is the disclaimer on

 they say that he did but manson did not actually send his followers out to

 of a mistrial, if it can be proved.

 i feel the same as you that it is not the realm of the law to dictate how

It boils down to personal responsibility.  What is good for one is not good
for another.  Legislating the thoughts is what is bad.  I don't think it is
"good" to hate or to be prejudiced or to raise your kids that way BUT I think
you have a right to do so, that I can't interfere with.  You have a
responsibility to live responsibly with your neighbors and within the laws of
community, cause no harm to others or their property, take nothing that is
not yours, etc.  It is your responsibility to police your thoughts.  When you
act on them in a way that is in violation of those laws of community you
should face the stiffest penalty possible.  Of course you may want to just
ignore this because I might be half-witted and/or half-assed, and might be
merely full of opinions, and it might be a good idea to hunt me down and kill
me for them, or at least hurt me a bit.  'Course you could just quietly hate
me instead.

Re: [CTRL] Selling Blood Specimans???

1999-04-09 Thread Colleen Jones

 -Caveat Lector-

That's a lot of DNA..how easy it would be to get someone's blood,
and splatter it about, setting up for a murder

Or like a Jack the Ripper, whom some thought to be a Doctor.during
this period of time Dr. Gall, was experimenting with blood
transfusions.first transion used sheep blood, and I always wondered
wht happend to the guy who got that.what a blood line, if he
survived.

Now it would be interesting to know if any of the blood samples were
contminted with AIDS, like our blood banksthis whole story does not
make sense...blood samples from people with cancer, sold

Surely this doctor could not have been an MD; he had to be another type
of a doctor or got his degree in another country.

What kind of a doctor, was he.   Now, imagine someone is murdered by the
mob;  and how easy to sprinkle someone elses blood around, which would
not be tested for cancer, of course.

But there is a thing called Karposi's Sarcoma, that is related to AIDS;
how easy to give this blood to an unsuspecting victim.

Or even to cattle, cows, horses, people, children...who is this
maniac, anyway.

Why would anyone want contaminated bloodwho were the individuals
buying same, were they CIA connected, or someone involved with murder
inc.

If this story is true, I would fine that guy more thanjust $30,000.00
and let him go.

Was the blood used to pollute more blood banks, or for experiments; and
if for experiments, any legitimate individual could buy blood without
resorting to stolen blood.

Wonder who bought the blood, is my concern.

[CTRL] Japanese Schools Struggle with Violence

1999-04-09 Thread Robert Tatman

 -Caveat Lector-

Japanese Schools Struggle with Violence


Reuters
08-APR-99

TOKYO (Reuters) - Vampires in Japan's classrooms? Not quite. But a Tokyo
primary school teacher was alarmed when one of her 10-year-old pupils, in a
fit of anger, bit a classmate so hard his teeth broke through the skin and
left a set of marks on his arm.

Soon she had even more reason to worry. "He got so unstable he would take
knives from the kitchen at home and wave them at his parents," said the
teacher, who declined to give her name.

The last straw came when the boy, in a rage, dashed out of the classroom to
get a knife. Tragedy was averted when another teacher intercepted the boy --
but not everyone is so lucky.

A year ago, Japan was shocked when a junior high school teacher was stabbed to
death by a student she had told to return to class. In January, two teachers
at a junior high school near Tokyo suffered facial fractures when they were
attacked by two students enraged at being reprimanded.

Even when violence is not a threat, the trend of classroom breakdown is
growing. Students refuse to come to order, go in and out of the room and
sometimes run away from class altogether. And the offenders are getting
steadily younger.

"I know a 7-year-old who threw a chair at the wall. And I can't count the
times I've seen children going in and out of the classroom during classes,
even the first-year students," the Tokyo primary school teacher said.

ALL WORK, NO PLAY

There were 2,406 violent incidents against teachers and students reported in
high schools in 1996, up from 2,077 the previous year, the Education
Ministry's latest figures show. The number of violent incidents in junior high
schools soared to 8,169 from 5,945 a year earlier.

Teachers and analysts acknowledge the situation is complicated but pin most of
the blame firmly on Japan's traditional emphasis on getting into a good
university. The cut-throat competition has led to the education system's
well-known reliance on out-of-school studying at cram schools.

The curriculum set for tests is hefty and the system emphasizes rote learning
over thinking and experimenting.

"Schools right now are only about memory -- memorize this, remember that, and
then remember more," said educational expert Susumu Abe. "Even in science
classes there's no real sense of using science to do experiments, to discover
new things. So schools are just boring places where all you do is work hard."

The intense emphasis on success at any cost results in an environment that
gives children virtually no free time for friends or play, leaving them so
exhausted that even on class excursions they complain that all they want to do
is sleep.

"Children are very tired and very stressed. They don't understand why and so
sometimes they end up attacking people," the teacher said.

"There are many reasons you can give for violence by students -- internal
stress and a lack of self-control and tolerance," a ministry official said.

Others said social changes such as the hyper-consumerism of Japan's bubble
economy years of the late 1980s to early 1990s also had an impact, undermining
traditional values.

"During those years, the characters of adults definitely changed for the
worse. There was at least one case in my school where a friendship between
neighboring families that had lasted for generations fell apart in a property
dispute over a few centimeters of land," the primary school teacher said.

POLITICIANS A BAD EXAMPLE

"And now, when you see politicians lying all the time and taking bribes, this
too is probably influencing the children."

Students are not the only ones suffering. Teachers find the pace, with 35
students the average class size, daunting both physically and mentally. In
addition, a recent trend in primary schools to reduce costs by cutting
physical education, art and music teachers means other teachers must assume
these duties.

The result is more teacher absenteeism. Education Ministry figures showed
1,609 took long-term leave for stress in 1997.

The primary school teacher, who has taught for 25 years, said one of her
colleagues was taking five months' vacation for high blood pressure and
ulcers. "I, too, would like to quit as soon as possible," she said.

An Education Ministry official said any solution to the problems in Japan's
schools would depend on a survey of schoolroom management the ministry was
conducting. Any policy changes would probably not take effect until April
2000.

Nobuaki Ishii, an official at the Japan Teacher's Union, said the union wanted
classes cut to a maximum of 30 students and was asking for a second teacher or
teacher's aide to work in each classroom.

Teachers were not entirely blameless either, he said. "Some teachers just try
to keep pushing knowledge at their students. They need to take time to stand
in their students' place."

  type of legislation are the equivalent of modern day book-
  burners."

I've heard from ritual abuse and mind control survivors that marijuana is
the one big NO NO, according to the perps.  Why?  I suspect it provides a
catalyst for gasp enlightenment.Can't have any of that.

It also has many other planet-saving properties.  We wouldn't want to do
anything CONSTRUCTIVE, now, would we?

The rest of the useful herbs are next.  The people "need" to use their
money to support the all-knowing pharmaceutical industry -- it's the Virtuous
Capitalistic Way.

Seems to me the path to destruction is accelerating considerably.

USI, New Delhi, April 6, 1999

THE FATAL FLAWS UNDERLYING NATO'S INTERVENTION IN YUGOSLAVIA

By
Lt Gen Satish Nambiar (Retd.)

(First Force Commander and Head of Mission of the United Nations Forces
deployed in the former Yugoslavia  03 Mar92 to 02 Mar 93. Former Deputy
Chief of Staff, Indian Army. Currently, Director of the United Services
Insitution of India.)

My year long experience as the Force Commander and Head of Mission of
the United Nations Forces deployed in the former Yugoslavia has given me

an understanding of the fatal flaws of US/NATO policies in the troubled
region. It was obvious to most people following events in the Balkans
since the beginning of the decade, and particularly after the fighting
that resulted in the emergence of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina
and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, that Kosovo was a 'powder

keg' waiting to explode. The West appears to have learnt all the wrong
lessons from the previous wars and applied it to Kosovo.

(1) Portraying the Serbs as evil and everybody else as good was not only

counterproductive but also dishonest. According to my experience all
sides were guilty but only the Serbs would admit that they were no
angels while the others would insist that they were. With 28, 000 forces

under me and with constant contacts with UNHCR and the International Red

Cross officials, we did not witness any genocide beyond killings and
massacres on all sides that are typical of such conflict conditions. I
believe none of my successors and their forces saw anything on the scale

claimed by the media.

(2) It was obvious to me that if Slovenians, Croatians and Bosniaks had
the right to secede from Yugoslavia, then the Serbs of Croatia and
Bosnia had an equal right to secede. The experience of partitions in
Ireland and India has not be pleasant but in the Yugoslavia case, the
state had already been taken apart anyway. It made little sense to me
that if multiethnic Yugoslavia was not tenable that multiethnic Bosnia
could be made tenable.  The former internal boundaries of  Yugoslavia
which had no validity under international law should have been redrawn
when it was taken apart by the West, just as it was in the case of
Ireland in 1921 and Punjab and Bengal in India in 1947. Failure to
acknowledge this has led to the problem of Kosovo as an integral part of

Serbia.

(3) It is ironic that the Dayton Agreement on Bosnia was not
fundamentally different from the Lisbon Plan drawn up by Portuguese
Foreign Minister Cuteliero and British representative Lord Carrington to

which all three sides had agreed before any killings had taken place, or

even the Vance-Owen Plan which Karadzic was willing to sign. One of the
main problems was that there was an unwillingness on the part of the
American administration to concede that Serbs had legitimate grievances
and rights.  I recall State Department official George Kenny turning up
like all other American officials, spewing condemnations of the Serbs
for aggression and genocide. I offered to give him an escort and to go
see for himself that none of what he proclaimed was true. He accepted my

offer and thereafter he made a radical turnaround.. Other Americans
continued to see and hear what they wanted to see and hear from one
side, while ignoring the other side.  Such behaviour does not produce
peace but more conflict.

(4) I felt that Yugoslavia was a media-generated tragedy.  The Western
media sees international crises in black and white, sensationalizing
incidents for public consumption. From what I can see now, all Serbs
have been driven out of Croatia and the Muslim-Croat Federation, I
believe almost 850,000 of them. And yet the focus is on 500,000
Albanians (at last count) who have been driven out of Kosovo. Western
policies have led to an ethnically pure Greater Croatia, and an
ethnically pure Muslim statelet in Bosnia. Therefore, why not an
ethnically pure Serbia? Failure to address these double standards has
led to the current one.

As I watched the ugly tragedy unfold in the case of Kosovo while
visiting the US in early to mid March 1999, I could see the same pattern

emerging. In my experience with similar situations in India in such
places as Kashmir, Punjab, Assam, Nagaland, and elsewhere, it is the
essential strategy of those ethnic groups who wish to secede to provoke
the state authorities. Killings of policemen is usually a standard
operating procedure by terrorists since that usually invites
overwhelming state retaliation, just as I am sure it does in the United
States.

I do not believe the Belgrade government had prior intention of driving
out all Albanians from Kosovo. It may have decided to implement
Washington's own "Krajina Plan" only if NATO bombed, or these expulsions

could be spontaneous acts of revenge and retaliation by Serb forces in
the field because of the bombing.

  Actually, Teo, I have to disagree and I sincerely hope that I am not alone
 in the thoughts I am about to post. Certainly those who commit heinous acts
 are to blame for their acts, but those who hold the same beliefs, though they

 the acts, and are therefore just as responsible. That is why the all-powerful
 and never named "THEY" say "If you're not part of the solution, then you are
 part of the problem."

   

 Not necessarily.  Blanket statements are never an accurate assessment of the
 capabilities of people.  Some will do as you say, and some will not.  NO ONE
 but the people who commit the acts are responsible for the harm they cause.
 If I see someone getting beaten and choose to do nothing to stop that I a not
 guilty of beating the person.  If, on the other hand my ACTIONS allow that
 person to come to harm then there is some responsibility there.  Many more
 people who are not bigoted or racist would act in the very same manner, so
 mindset is not a good judging factor when making blanket judgments, even when
 the LIKELIHOOD of the action taking place is increased.  No deed, no harm by
 you, no crime by you.
 Teo1000

You are failing to see the point here, and that point is this:
By harboring the same ignorant beliefs as the person or persons who commit the acts, 
you are thereby providing an environment where the actions taken are considered 
acceptable. And if a person can prevent the acts but does not, they are responsible 
for complying in that act--an accomplice as it were.  Your mindset on this issue 
(unfortunately shared by many) is part of the reason this world is in the sad state 
that it's in. Because throughout history many people have stood by and allowed others 
to perpretrate actions and deeds while doing nothing to prevent them--whether they 
felt the same as those committing the acts or not, they are responsible for the 
results of those acts. Hopefully one day you will understand and can be part of the 
solution.

[CTRL] The bombing of Yugoslavia

1999-04-09 Thread Mark Pitt

 -Caveat Lector-

Hello CTRL,
I have question for any of you observing the bombing of Yugoslavia. Has anyone seen on 
any major media news service the full consequences of the bombing of Yugoslavia? I 
have only to date seen the structural damage to buildings and other types of 
structures being done. I have yet to see any dead bodies as in dead people in any of 
the stuff broadcast on T.V.. I have heard the newscatsters repeatally report that some 
numbers of people have been rumored to have been killed by Serbian officeals. I would 
bet even money they are not showing any of the dead bodies or dead people in the views 
of bombed out buildings and structures in order to propagandally sanitize the bombing 
going on over there. If the general public were allowed to view the entire 
consequences of the bombing over there I think they would view this very differently. 
There is a mass campaign to try and enlist new young recruits to all branches of the 
military. In my oppinion if they saw on T.V. the actual bodies of dead people as a 
direct result of war I seriously doubt they would enlist. I would like to hear anyones 
oppinion concern the topic of the medias lack of total reporting of the Bombing of 
Yugoslavia. They to date are only broadcasting half truths if that much. Have a great 
day :-)

   There may have been an element of MINDCONTROL in the suppression of
news concerning colossal "French" and Russian underground H-Bombs about
41 hours prior to the Tangshan earthquake in China which killed more than
one million people, 28 July 1976.
   The suppression of data was carried one step further by the New York
Times omitting any mention of the blasts from their NYTimes Microfilm
edition which is in school libraries throughout the world.
   At the present time (early April 1999) searches of the internet only
result in frustration if you seek information concerning the exact time
of the Tangshan earthquake and the exact time of the tremendous Soviet
and "French" thermonuclear underground detonations which immediately
preceded the monster quake.
   Further frustration will be experienced if you search for the date of
the first detonation of a French proto-type thermonuclear device.
Reliable sources at the time have stated that the test first occurred in
late 1974 -- less than two years before the French packed a deep hole
with extra-strength thermonuclear capsules just prior to the Tangshan
earthquake. These were detonated on the same day as monster Soviet
underground thermonuclear detonations. For a detailed report on these
matters you may contact the University of Uppsala Seismic Institute,
Sweden, via FAX 46 18 50 11 10 .  The University of Uppsala is dedicated
to the pursuit of truth and will be delighted to inform you.
   Another odd note is struck in the conspicuous absence of any mention
of the lunar perigee in astrological calculation programs. Needless to
say, the timing and cyclic nature of the moon's perigee passages are
essential to earthquake prediction.
   Currently, 5 April 1999, news reports are appearing in the US media
statting that the American War Makes Peace operatives intend to transport
surviving Kosovarian refugees, free of charge, to American concentration
camps in Guam and Guantanamo, Cuba. Let's hope the Americans provide them
with free toilet paper.
   At the same time, the American War Makes Peace operatives have
announced that they shall soon be sending APACHE ATTACK helicopters to
blast European beasts on the ground in Kosovo. This represents another
form of MINDCONTROL -- a subtle and advanced form -- which recalls the
Native American shamans who perished under an earlier American War Makes
Peace campaign including those in what is now called Missouri where today
huge B-2 Yankee Bombers are dispatched to bomb and kill the European
invadersin Europe!
   Of course, this is much too subtle for American Peace
Killers...they are the perfect suckers.

 "WACO:" ON HBO

 Please Pass the Word

For Immediate Release

COMPELLING OSCAR® NOMINEE WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT REVEALS THE UNTOLD
STORY BEHIND THE GOVERNMENT SIEGE OF THE BRANCH DAVIDIAN COMPOUND WHEN IT
DEBUTS APRIL 19 ON HBO.

Film Airs On Sixth Anniversary Of Controversial Siege

It started with a small botched raid by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms (ATF) on Feb. 28, 1993. The target: The mount Carmel compound
(located just outside of Waco, Texas) of the Branch Davidians, an offshoot
of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church led by the charismatic David Koresh.
The official reason; reports of a huge stockpile of automatic and
semi-automatic weapons, some of them illegal, and possible criminal sexual
practices within the sect.

Four agents and six Branch Davidians died that day, sparking a 51-day
siege, first by the ATF and later the FBI. It ended in an inferno that
killed 76 sect members, including 29 children under age 14. The government
called it mass suicide, but WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT suggests the
truth might be otherwise when it debuts MONDAY, APRIL 19 (6:30-8:00 p.m.
ET) - the sixth anniversary of the deadly fire - on HBO.

 Nominated for an Academy Award® in the Documentary Features category last
year, WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT combines archival news footage, video
and audio tapes, testimony from the televised House of Representatives
investigation, and interviews with survivors. The Branch Davidians
originated in California and lived near Waco for 60 years before coming to
the attention of the ATF in the early '90s. The sect had acquired a huge
cache of automatic and semiautomatic weapons, which it maintained were
resold for profit to finance their compound. The government, however,
publicly labeled the sect as a threat to the community and its own members,
while emphasizing their unorthodox lifestyle and alleging sex crimes that
intensified media coverage.

 The Feb. 28 raid backfired, and was followed in subsequent weeks by
excruciated negotiations and attempts to root out the besieged with
spotlights, embargoes and all-night blasting of Nancy Sinatra's "These
Boots Are Made for Walking." During one taped conversation heard in the
documentary, a government negotiator promises, "Nobody's comin' in
there...you got my word..." However, on April 19, the FBI went in with
tanks and highly flammable tear gas.

The tanks bored huge holes in the compound's wooden structures, creating a
ventilation system likened to a pot-bellied stove that feeds a fire. One
expert testified that the extreme concentration of tear gas could be
lethal, especially to children. Attempting to escape the gas, sect members
took refuge in a windowless concrete kitchen bunker that shortly became an
oven. Heat-sensitive infrared cameras on reconnaissance aircraft show
suspicious flashes which appear to be coming from the tanks moments before
a series of fireballs ripped through the compound.

Although FBI representatives testified before the House that its agents
never fired a shot, some experts believe those flashes could have been
gunfire that ignited the tear gas. The authorities pointed to gunshot
wounds in some of the charred corpses as evidence of a suicide pact,
although the audio tapes from FBI bugs that are heard in the documentary do
not reveal any discussion of a suicide plan by sect members. Fire and
rescue equipment were not permitted near the inferno for crucial minutes by
FBI agents who cited safety concerns.

 Attorney General Janet Reno maintained that law enforcement agents acted
responsibly, and the official House of Representatives investigation
concluded that the fire was started deliberately by the Branch Davidians.
WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT suggests this may not be the case - the truth
may not be what the public was led to believe.

 In addition to an Oscar nomination, WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT was
honored with the prestigious International Documentary Association's
Distinguished Documentary Achievement Award in 1997.

(CNNS,  04/09/99)  -- Sherman H. Skolnick, chairman of the public
interest research  group,  Citizens'  Committee  to  Clean Up the
Courts,  reports  that  Serbs  living  in  the  U.S.  (and   even
naturalized  Serb-Americans) who dare to protest U.S. involvement
in Yugoslavia  are  facing  repression  by  the  U.S. immigration
authorities.  (Contact  info:   recorded  message,  773-731-1100;

The Hitler-Style Plan
by Sherman H. Skolnick

There are an estimated one  hundred thousand to a quarter million
Serbians living more  or  less  quietly  in  the  U.S.  as  alien
residents.   With  the undeclared war of the U.S. against Serbia,
is there a plan regarding such Serbians?

Not mentioned  in  what  some  call  the  monopoly  press are the
presidential  edicts  to  deal  with   so-called   "emergencies".
Blunt-talking  sorts  call  them  martial  law  provisions.   (To
mislead  the  public,  CBS  has  started a series called "Martial
Law".)

There is a  growing  clamor  by  Serbs  in  the  U.S. against the
Clinton White House and  Pentagon.   In  efforts  to  stop  this,
Clinton  has  ordered  that  Serbians  with green cards, resident
aliens, be deported  as  silently  as  possible.  Apparently this
original plan has been scrapped in favor of an  alternative  one,
to  send  Serbians  to  certain  detention camps, a replay of the
Hitler-era.

Plans to counter this,  such  as  by federal court lawsuits might
not even by publicized.  Why?  The monopoly  press  seems  to  be
acting  like under war-time orders.  (For a sinister analogy, see
the book "The Captive Press in the Third Reich" by Oron J. Hale.)

The largest concentration of  Serbs,  both aliens and naturalized
citizens, is in the Chicago-area.  Too many federal judges,  such
as in the Windy City, are both tied to the banking system and are
blackmailable  because  of  ties  to questionable if not criminal
enterprises.  So an appeal to the courts for a remedy may well be
fruitless.

One of  the  most  secret  detention  camps  is  offshore Alaska,
originally designed to house  blacks  because  of  racial  riots.
This writer had this confirmed during a radio talk show he did in
Anchorage.  Is that where the alien Serbs are to be sent?

The Immigration and Naturalization Service  (INS), as well as the
FBI,  have  been  told  they  could  as  well  grab  and   detain
Serbian-Americans,  that  is, citizens, who do not quickly supply
their naturalization papers.

Much of this has been  confirmed  by  sources  in  the  INS,  and
elsewhere.

A cynical historian contends the calendar  stating  the  year  as
1999  is a fraud.  It is, he loudly insists, actually 1938 and we
are all in a time-warp.  Stay tuned.

  It will never be done. Man will not tolerate the competition.
 
  That's a [rather silly] argument that it _won't_ be done, not that it's
  impossible to do, which is what you claimed above.

wel human can't even tolerate each other, look at racism america, and the
serb conflict which albanian muslims. less they will tolerate another
sentinent specie. of course if you belive this to untrue, have biologist
and eugenic engineer create the Manpanzee.

[CTRL] Yugoslavia and survival of the fittest

1999-04-09 Thread jabriol

 -Caveat Lector-

From: Don Keyes [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Is survival of the fittest no longer happening. Why not? I
notice that all the different goups, sects, religions, races, etc. that
the world has become divided up into are fighting in Yugoslavia and seem
not to be able to get along in the  rest of the world including our own
cities as well. Is survival of the fittest still going on. Is this idea
not revelant anymore or just taboo to talk about because humans classify
it as immoral.  Could this not be studied scientifically in some way.
Why would it not be revelant to the future.
