Orlin Grabbe/A - Today's Lesson From The Wave Principle of Human Social Behavior by Robert R. Prechter, Jr. Pointing both to long, persistent financial trends and to sudden giant changes in valuation, neither of which are ever generally anticipated, author J. Orlin Grabbe, straight to the point of this chapter, says, "It would seem that changing images of the future . . . are endogenous . . . . They are neither rational or irrational; they are pre-rational." In other words, they are within men, not brought about by outside events. They are not irrational because they have a purpose, no matter how ill-applied in modern life. Yet neither are they rational, as they are within men's unconscious minds, i.e., their basal ganglia and limbic system, which are equipped to operate without and to override the conscious input of reason. = Single Currency Jaw-Boning to Stop the Euro's Slide Against the Dollar How about letting NATO bomb the Italian budget deficit? Senior European policy makers yesterday intensified their verbal campaign to stem the slide in the euro. Signalling growing concern at the currency's fall towards parity with the dollar, Ernst Welteke, the Bundesbank president designate, said the euro would require close monitoring, but cautioned against direct intervention in the foreign exchange markets. The euro could come under renewed pressure this week after falling on Friday to a record low of $1.039, about 11 per cent below its launch level. The latest bout of weakness was sparked by concerns about budget deficit concessions made to Italy last Tuesday, but may also be compounded by fears over growth. A report by several leading independent forecasters will today cast fresh doubt on hopes of an early pick-up in euro-zone output, warning that a recovery this year is "far from assured". The study, carried out by the UK's National Institute of Economic and Social Research, Germany's Institut für Weltwirtschaft an der Universität Kiel, the CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, the Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Economiques and Prometeia, predicts that growth in the euro-zone in 1999 will be just 2 per cent. In two newspaper interviews published yesterday, Mr Welteke said the euro's weakness was "cause for careful observation", but he expressed confidence that its external value would recover. He also warned that intervention by the European Central Bank could backfire. "You can't reverse a market trend with intervention. You can only support the trend," he said in the Berlin Tagesspiegel. Lionel Jospin, France's prime minister, said at a Franco-German summit in Toulouse on Saturday: "One must not try to judge [the euro] on three months - a currency is judged over the long term." He felt the euro had the potential for "a real revaluation". Gerhard Schröder, the German chancellor, insisted at the summit that last week's decision by EU finance ministers to allow Italy to soften its budget deficit targets was "unique". It did not signal a retreat by governments from their commitments to financial stability. Direct intervention in the currency markets to support the euro was seen as unlikely by analysts. Under its founding provisions, the European Central Bank is able to intervene only to maintain price stability within the euro-zone. Intervention for any other reason requires the authority of the Euro-11 Council, comprising the finance ministers of the 11 euro-zone member states. Avinash Persaud, currency analyst at State Street bank, said intervention was not justified on economic grounds and, in any case, would be unsuccessful because of the structure of the foreign exchange market. "The only argument for intervention now is psychological, as the euro approaches parity with the dollar," he said. Intervention to prop up a currency was usually ineffective unless higher interest rates were also used in support, Mr Persaud said. Intervention worked best when the currency market had over-extended itself against a currency, allowing the intervening authorities to punish short-term speculation.

-Caveat Lector- From NewAutrailian www.newaus.com The New Australian Scandals and Clinton's Balkan mess By James Henry No. 121, 31 May - 6 June 1999 Things are beginning to look sticky for ol' Bill. Wall Street is getting jumpy about interest rates, Milosevic just won't lie down, and now the 'T' word is actually being heard in some quarters though not at NBC etc. Is there justice? Will the most depraved and corrupt president in the history of the Republic finally get his just deserts? I think he will, eventually. In the meantime, he is in a position to do still more considerable damage. Just as bombing Serbia seemed like a splendid idea, just as one scandal too many began to emerge, the use of troops is being flagged just as by pure coincidence the Cox Report hits the fan. Not that Ol' Slickory didn't know what was in it. After all, it's akin to his record in the White House, so in a sense he wrote it. But it's not the kind of legacy he wants to bequeath to a nation that seems to be showing signs of waking up to Bill Benedict Clinton. Now that his dream of a swift military victory has proved as illusory as an Albright battle plan he finds himself suspended between Americans understandable reluctance to see their offspring carted home in bodybags and his own desire to escape exposure. Well, knowing how far Bill is removed from traditional manly values like courage, duty and honor I would normally advise Arlington cemetery to start digging again, even though the boys and girls in uniform are not too keen to die for the glory of saving Bill's skin they will always do their duty. However, Clinton is a coward in every sense of the word, especially the moral sense. Having, thanks to the posturing and preposterous Albright, completely underestimated Milosevic's determination and Serbian resolve (probably because he has none of his own) he committed American forces to a half-baked half-witted military campaign. And this is after he gutted the services and then stretched them out like pieces of worn elastic. Milosevic knew that America would quickly run out of cruise missiles and smart bombs. Didn't CNN, NBC, ABC, etc, not only tell him that Clinton had shut down the cruise missile production line but how many missiles were actually left. The absurd situation has now been reached where the use of dumb bombs has been announced as an improvement on smart weapons. Why don't they just say we ran out? As I said before, all Milosevic had to do was sit tight and accelerate the dirty work. And that is precisely what he did. Even those geniuses at the CIA had that one figured. About two months later Milosevic is still in control and NATO is still looking for targets while it thinks up excuses in advance for the next bus load of pensioners it sends off to the promised land. Now Clinton mouthpieces are telling us that one-third of Serbia's military forces have been destroyed. The people who gave us this precise figure are the same folks who can't find the Chinese embassy on a Belgrade street map. In any case, one-third of what? How much armor, artillery, munitions, bunkers, mines, ground-to-air missiles, not to mention the shoulder-fired ones, does that leave? Forewarned is forearmed and few dictators ever got more warning than Milosevic. To top it off, they now want to put him on trial. Who's next? Castro? The butchers of Tibet? Not likely. Social democrats are in charge and that means no trials for socialist dictators. It also means that Milosevic has got nothing to lose. The deed is done and the example set. I and others have made the point that if ground troops are committed and even if a quick victory is achieved so what? Milosevic will still be in Belgrade enjoying Russian and Chinese support as well as a great deal of local support due to nationalist feelings while Kosovo will be literally prostrate; Montenegro will be in a parlous position, Macedonia will need a great deal of aid and Orthodox Greece will be deeply disturbed. Where will all of this leave the Kosovar refugees? Still refugees, that's what. It would have been better, I believe, if Western countries had told Milosevic they were prepared, given enough time, to accommodate Kosovar Albanians while rebuilding Albania. This would have reassured the Serbian people that there were no designs on Serbian territory or sovereignty and thus have drawn Milosevic's nationalist teeth while strengthening opposition forces. But this would not have banished Clinton's growing scandals nor would it have done anything for the liberals self-image.

SNET and IUFO were originally started by a woman--the incomparable Glenda Stocks--and were, for quite a few years, a wonderful source of conspiracy and other "offbeat" info. Then, some months after Glenda moved on to other things, the Nazis came. (Remember them? They've been here, too.) In the interests of "free speech," they were allowed to stay. And folks like Dr. Weekswho came to dominate the list and convinced me that those lists were no longer really healthy or viable. Warning: Dr. Weeks does NOT like womenespecially women with opinions. And if he doesn't agree with you, he will label you a "feminNazi." I notice he has already called Colleen "mommy,"--implying that her education, military background, and work experience do not entitle her to her opinions. (Dr. Weeks has no experience with the modern Mommy--who may be a surgeon, a jet pilot, a publisher, a computer programmer, or a banker--apart from her homemaking role. Dr. Weeks is a 19th century man.) Now just what does it "mean" that Dr. Weeks has brought his macho "expertise" to CTRLI hope it does not bode ill for the list.

In nature, the organism that survives intact enough to reproduce is the winner. If you are stupid enough to piss your life away for stupid ideologies, you lose. That is why the slogan " live free or die " is insane. It is unnatural and wasteful of human potential. But if live free or die causes you to die because you can't live free, then you can understand the process of natural selection. Gavin; As I said earlier, natural selection is a tautology which has never been proven. It has no informative value whatsoever. There are 40 million Blacks in America. Their ancestors were slaves for hundreds of years. They endured and endured the brutality of slavery. Real slavery, not your feverish apocalyptic paranoiac nonsense. They are here today enjoying life because their ancestors did what they needed to do to survive. If their ancestors had been as dumb as you are, and dumb as the religio/patriot types I see quoted on this list, we would never have the pleasure of watching Bill Cosby sell sugared up junk food to little children. Gavin; Your definition of dumb is to fight for freedom and maybe die because of it rather than live as a slave and endure the degradations, humiliations, beatings, rapes and whatever else your owner decides to impose on you until for some reason or other you get your freedom, however long that takes, if you ever get it at all. Sounds very "smart" to me. What about other people who do not agree with your cowering nature and overthrow the people subjugating them and in the process also free you. Do you thank them for risking their lives to free themselves and others or do you stay true to your philosophy and tell them what idiots they are for risking their lives and not waiting it out? What about prisoners of war trying to escape from prison and getting killed, I suppose they are also dumb. The "smart" thing to do is wait it out and piss your life away hopeing for one of the miracles you've stated above or when somebody else might risk their life to rescue or free you. Slaves only gain their freedom by fighting for it or because others fought for it. How about buying your way out? How about if the slave owners can't afford to keep slaves? How about if the slave owner suddenly becomes a mentch and frees his slaves because it's wrong to own human beings? Do you ever stop exaggerating? Gavin; Buy your way out, what with? Who says they are going to pay you? Feeding slaves is really costly when you can get them to work there ass off for you for just food and water. People who own slaves in the first place are usually not known for their philanthropy. What you are advocating is cowardice and dressing it up as some kind of smart evolutionary philosophy which is totally bogus. Being a human being means more than just surviving to leave some offspring you moron. It means to try and make a better world for tomorrow than we have today. It means to further our understanding of our world free of dogma and bigotry. It is having the courage to stand up for what you believe in. There are risks large and small associated with everything we do. Life without any risk at all is a useless and unfullfillled life. According to your philosophy survival takes precedence over
[CTRL] FW: Tainted Blood - Clinton intimidation campaign suspected
-Caveat Lector- http://www.ottawacitizen.com/national/990520/2621916.html Monday May 31, 1999 FROM THE OTTAWA CITIZEN Share This Story With A Friend Tainted-blood sleuth firebombed Intimidation campaign suspected as Arkansas clinic razed, Montreal office ransacked Mark Kennedy The Ottawa Citizen The controversial story involving tainted plasma from Arkansas prisoners that was shipped to Canada in the 1980s while Bill Clinton was state governor has taken a mysterious and chilling new turn. Two crimes that occurred within hours of each other Tuesday night, hundreds of kilometres apart, have raised questions about whether someone is trying to intimidate or silence those who are asking questions about the prison-blood fiasco. In Pine Bluff, Arkansas, someone firebombed a prosthetics clinic owned by Michael Galster, who has been pushing hard for a U.S. government investigation. The clinic was burned to its shell and fire officials, who found a gas container in Mr. Galster's attic -- where he kept his documents -- say they're "90-per-cent sure" the fire was arson. In Montreal, someone broke into the offices of the Quebec chapter of the Canadian Hemophilia Society, which recently unearthed documents that showed Finance Minister Paul Martin was a board member of the corporation that owned Connaught Laboratories, the company that fractionated and distributed the Arkansas prison plasma in Canada. Hemophilia Society officials say thieves stole a computer and three telephones. They also stole documents from a box labeled "Hepatitis C, Krever Commission, Reform of the blood system, HIV-AIDS." Police are investigating both incidents. Mike McCarthy, a Canadian hemophiliac at the forefront of pushing for answers into the prison plasma scandal, says he's convinced the two crimes are connected. "It's too much of a coincidence," he said, adding that someone is worried Mr. Galster and the victims are probing too close to the truth. "They're trying to find out what we know and erase the trail if they can." "I think they're also sending a message. They're trying to scare us into backing off. They're trying to put the fear of God into us, that if we pursue the truth it can get worse. That the next action might not just be buildings and records." The RCMP are examining the prison-blood scheme as part of their criminal investigation into the tainted-blood scandal. RCMP Cpl. Gilles Moreau said yesterday that the Mounties are willing to review any evidence local police in Montreal and Arkansas uncover. "We do not work in a vacuum," said Cpl. Moreau. "If there's information that is linked to the blood distribution system for the period that we're investigating, we're certainly not going to close our eyes to that information. We welcome any information that comes our way." The story of how prison plasma was collected and found its way into the bloodstreams of unsuspecting Canadians stands as one of the most shocking aspects of the tainted-blood tragedy. It's not known how many Canadians contracted HIV and hepatitis C from the plasma of Arkansas prisoners, who were paid $7 a unit, although it's likely that several hundred people were infected by the tainted products. At the time, U.S. companies that fractionate blood products had stopped buying prison blood because it was widely understood that, since many inmates practised unsafe sex or were intravenous drug addicts, their blood posed a high risk of carrying the AIDS virus. In Arkansas, a private firm, Health Management Associates, was given a contract by the state government to collect the prisoners' plasma. The firm had difficulty locating a U.S. customer but found a willing buyer in a Montreal blood broker, Continental Pharma Cryosan, which then sold the plasma to Toronto-based Connaught Laboratories. Connaught apparently didn't realize the plasma had come from prisoners. Canadians learned of the prison plasma scheme in 1995, when Justice Horace Krever's inquiry unearthed some aspects of the story. Last September, the Citizen revealed further details. Also last fall, Mr. Galster went public with his accusations about the Arkansas prison system, where he conducted orthopedic clinics during the 1980s. Mr. Galster published a book, Blood Trail, which is a fictionalized account of how the prison-plasma program worked. He wrote under a pseudonym because he feared reprisals. Soon after media stories began appearing, he revealed his true identity. In February, he organized and participated in a news conference in Washington where Canadian victims called for a probe by the U.S. Justice Department and announced plans to depose Mr. Clinton. Mr. Galster said yesterday he is reeling with shock from the firebombing of his clinic, which he has owned for 21 years. He said he worked until about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and was later called at home about the fire. "I'm trying not to get too paranoid about it. I pray to God that it was just a coincidence." Mr. Galster said

Now it is the Federal Communications Commission's turn to be slapped down in court. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down a key part of the FCC's regulation of the nation's phone system. Both long distance companies and local Baby Bells had challenged the way the FCC implemented the 1996 Telecommunications Act. At question are the access charges long distance companies pay to the locals for the use of their phone lines. Long distance sellers--Sprint, ATT, MCI--think the payments are too big. The Baby Bells think they are too small. The court said whatever the charges should be, the FCC has to do a better job of explaining how it sets them. In recent years the FCC has moved to cut the charges the locals get by several billion dollars. The grand plan was for access charges to fall fast enough so that consumers would not notice the added surcharges they were being asked to pay to cover the wiring of schools, libraries, and rural hospitals to the Internet. A classic shell game, it probably would have worked. But now it is back to square one for the FCC. Can it come up with math that can convince a court that the charges it approves are not simply arbitrary regulatory whim? Perhaps. A sure-fire winner would be for Congress to step in and assume the responsibility it is so intent on shirking and spell out in legislation exactly which phone services are to be subsidized, by whom, and for how long. But given the current paucity of courage in Washington that is a connection which will never be made. http://www.charlotte.com/topnews/pub/002123.htm Jesse Walker examines the difficulty the FCC faces in handling low power radio stations at http://www.reason.com/9906/fe.jw.radio.html - - Your Tax Dollars At Work--and Play - - The following is a story of government out of control in three parts. The first concerns an attempt by an arm of the Commerce Department to sell government information on the Internet. Of course, a necessary condition for such an idea is a government so large and active that citizens feel the need to pay for access to government documents. But that is no reason to derail such a great idea. So with great fanfare Commerce announced the beginning of the venture last week. The hope was that law firms and other highly interested parties would pay for the service. Then the White House got involved. Seems selling off government info runs counter to Clinton administration principles. So the White House decreed that the venture was off, then on, then "free." This is the second part of an out-of-control government: No one is actually in control and everything is "free." The result is a very powerful search engine, developed by database mavens at Northern Light Technology Inc., which can drill down into government servers to pull off the most arcane info imaginable. How arcane? This is the third part. The Judge Advocate Division of the Marine Corps maintains a collection of dog haiku jokes, most of which are quite funny. A sample: I love my master; Thus I perfume myself with This long-rotten squirrel. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration packs one server with the complete script from Monty Python's Holy Grail, pictures from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and slightly risque snaps of female models. Then there is Lawrence Livermore Laboratories which, like everyone with a Web address, was spammed by offers to buy a Pamela Anderson sex video. The difference is the lab archived that message in the middle of an intense mailing list discussion of high-level physics. The sum of all this leads to the inevitable conclusion that the federal government really does not know what to do with the Internet--but that will never stop it from trying. http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/tech/DailyNews/commerce990519.html Searches of government Web sites will be without charge for at least another week at http://www.usgovsearch.com For more dog haiku try http://sja.hqmc.usmc.mil/JAS/dog_haiku_jokes.htm For NOAA's funky site try http://www-ad.fsl.noaa.gov/TEST-DOCS/testADWWW/mvpab/scms/ftower/socce r/Script.html - - In the Bomb Sites - - See if you can follow this.

[CTRL] HIJACKING THE HOLOCAUST
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zoran.net/afp/text/submitted/hijacking_the_holocaust.htm A HREF="http://www.zoran.net/afp/text/submitted/hijacking_the_holocaust.htm"HIJ ACKING THE HOLOCAUST /A - HIJACKING THE HOLOCAUST A Jewish-American perspective of the U.S./NATO bombing of Yugoslavia By: Todd Emoff, May 24, 1999 The Clinton administration is using the memory of the WWII Holocaust, the systematic destruction of the Jewish people, in an unseemly campaign to justify the utterly failed and illogical policy of bombing Yugoslavia into giving up its province of Kosovo. It is offensive and demeaning to the memory of those six million innocent Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis and Nazi sympathizers to use their deaths to incite war fever against the Serbs. Clinton/NATO have advanced this comparison to try to win over Jewish and general public sympathy for the bombing of the Serbian people into submission. They use the terrible images of the ethnic Albanian refugees-and this is a terrible tragedy (exacerbated by our bombing) that the refugees are enduring-as fodder for a propaganda campaign to tug at the heartstrings of Western public opinion by invoking the memory of the Holocaust. Why? Because the awful bombing and killing of the Serbian people is in no way in the national interest of the U.S. Therefore, another justification must be presented to justify the horrific death and destruction caused by our bombs. Comparing the Serbs to the WWII Nazis and using the desperate images of the Albanian refugees is the only way to get public opinion to support the war. Without this, support for the war collapses totally. Regrettably, the Clinton spin machine (unquestionably the best spin machine in the world since TV was invented) has had some success in using the Jewish Holocaust to evoke an emotional response from people in NATO countries, enabling the populations of these countries to tolerate what the majority of these populations would not normally tolerate. They tolerate the indiscriminate killing of Yugoslav men, women and children, including cluster bombing of civilian areas of cities. They tolerate widespread destruction of the economic infrastructure of an entire country. All in the name of stopping another Holocaust. There is only one problem. Comparisons of the current situation to the Holocaust are not valid. The facts do not support such comparisons. Here are three of the many major differences between then and now: 1.In Germany in the 1930s there was no armed Jewish group that went about killing German police, funding itself with profits from drug dealing operations, or accepting weapons from outside powers to fight German authorities. There was no terrorist JLA. Jews were simply everyday law-abiding citizens. In contrast, the KLA has been killing and terrorizing the Serbs of Kosovo for over 6 years now. Many ethnic Albanians have also been killed by the KLA during this period, especially those that work in Government jobs like the forest service or the post office. They are killed to be examples and a warning not to work in any capacity that could be seen as conducive to maintaining Yugoslav control of the province. All Western countries, including the U.S., are on record acknowledging that the KLA is a terrorist organization. 2.The Jews in pre-war Germany were not demanding to have a designated area comprising about 10% of the land of Germany designated as an autonomous region for the Jews in preparation for slicing off that portion of Germany as an independent Jewish country. The U.S./NATO demand on Serbia is that they allow in foreign armies to ensure that the ethnic Albanians are given autonomy for 3 years, and be allowed independence at the end of that period. 3.German policy in the early 1940s was the total annihilation of a whole people, throughout Europe (and the world, if possible). All Jews were to be found and killed. Trainloads were sent to factories of death. In the death camps, medical experiments without anesthesia were performed on them, they were worked to death, they were systematically and methodically killed by various methods including mass gassings with zyklon B. Killed by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, ultimately adding up to the millions. This was genocide. What is happening to the ethnic Albanians today in Kosovo is not genocide. The human misery of the ethnic Albanians is awful, the death and destruction there is to be condemned, but it is not of the scale, scope or intent as the genocide that was the Holocaust. There are 200,000 ethnic Albanians living securely and comfortably (as comfortably as possible under NATO bombing) in the Belgrade/northern Serbia area today. If it were genocide you would not find this to be the case. Even if you accept as fact that the 800,000 refugees were forced out by the Serbs (other reasons for leaving include heavy bombing of Kosovo by NATO, lack of water and food in the province, forced conscription by the KLA,

Opinion polls currently show that the VB could win up to 20 percent of the vote in Flanders and could win sufficient seats in the Brussels city legislature to paralyse the administration. The Vlaams Blok was founded in 1978 as a breakaway from the more moderate Flemish nationalist Volksunie (United People). From the start, VB called for an independent Flanders. Starting in the late 1980s, with the slogan our own people first, the VB steadily increased its share of the vote in Flanders from 2 to 10 percent. In November 1991 the party won its first representation to the federal parliament. In Antwerp, previously a social democratic stronghold, the VB was able to increase their vote to 28 percent at the last local elections. Above all, their successes were recorded in the larger urban centres of Flanders that have been badly hit by industrial downsizing, creating regions of high unemployment, social tension and decay. In 15 years, the VB has risen to be the fourth strongest party in Flanders, receiving 476,000 (12.3 percent) votes in the 1995 general election. On their website, the Vlaams Blok complain about an unprecedented campaign of misinformation about the party in the international media. To counter this, they present a potted history of Flanders and Flemish nationalism since the time of Julius Caeser. But the charge that VB are a neo-Nazi outfit is not an invention of foreign journalists. There are two very positive references to the fate of the Flemish people under German occupation during the First and Second World Wars. In occupied Flanders [the Flemish] obtained from the Germans what they had always been denied by Belgium. In 1917, [they] even went as far to declare Flemish independence. Of course this was undone after the eventual German defeat... After a brief hesitation, the VNV [Flemish National Union] initiated the Second Activism': collaboration with the German occupation. Under the Germans, for the first time, the linguistic laws were properly applied and the process of frenchification was halted... After the German retreat, the returning Belgian authorities unleashed an implacable repression against the collaborators. Here are just a few examples of VB policies culled from their website: Everything that gives the impression of bi-lingualism should be suppressed. Strike calls are criminal. Strikes can never serve the country. Any union support for political demonstrations, such as those against fascism or racism, should be banned. Abortion is a crime and should be re-entered in the penal code. They propose an air-tight immigration stop and a policy of repatriation of non-Europeans in three phases: the immediate return of illegal immigrants, unemployed foreigners and criminals; return for first generation foreigners; then for second and third generation immigrants. They also call ominously for the reorganisation of the status of political refugees. Even those foreigners who are naturalised Belgians would not escape their efforts to produce an ethnically pure Flanders. The VB definition of nationality rests on the loi du sang (blood law). Belgians and Flemings are only those who have Belgian blood. Those foreigners who are naturalised are nothing but paper Belgians. The VB support free enterprise and the privatisation of much of the public sector. Employment in the public service would be restricted to Flemish nationals, and foreign workers would be

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 22 /A - Laissez Faire City Times May 31, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 22 Editor Chief: Emile Zola Chaos and Fractals in Financial Markets Part 1 by J. Orlin Grabbe Prologue: The Rolling of the Golden Apple In 1776, a year in which political rebels in Philadelphia were proclaiming their independence and freedom, a physicist in Europe was proclaiming total dependence and determinism. According to Pierre-Simon Laplace, if you knew the initial conditions of any situation, you could determine the future far in advance: "The present state of the system of nature is evidently a consequence of what it was in the preceding moment, and if we conceive of an intelligence which at a given instant comprehends all the relations of the entities of this universe, it could state the respective positions, motions, and general effects of all these entities at any time in the past or future." The Laplacian universe is just a giant pool table. If you know where the balls were, and you hit and bank them correctly, the right ball will always go into the intended pocket. Laplace's hubris in his ability (or that of his "intelligence") to forecast the future was completely consistent with the equations and point of view of classical mechanics. Laplace had not encountered nonequilibrium thermodynamics, quantum physics, or chaos. Today some people are frightened by the very notion of chaos. (I have explored this at length in an essay devoted to chaos from a philosophical perspective. But the same is also true with respect to the somewhat related mathematical notion of chaos.) Today there is no justification for a Laplacian point of view. At the beginning of this century, the mathematician Henri Poincaré, who was studying planetary motion, began to get an inkling of the basic problem: "It may happen that small differences in the initial conditions produce very great ones in the final phenomena. A small error in the former will produce an enormous error in the latter. Prediction becomes impossible" (1903). In other words, he began to realize "deterministic" isnt what its often cracked up to be, even leaving aside the possibility of other, nondeterministic systems. An engineer might say to himself: "I know where a system is now. I know the location of this (planet, spaceship, automobile, fulcrum, molecule) almost precisely. Therefore I can predict its position X days in the future with a margin of error precisely related to the error in my initial observations." Yeah. Well, thats not saying much. The prediction error may explode off to infinity at an exponential rate (read the discussion of Lyapunov exponents later). Even God couldnt deal with the margin of error, if the system is chaotic. (There is no omniscience. Sorry.) And it gets even worse, if the system is nondeterministic. The distant future? Youll know it when you see it, and thats the first time youll have a clue. (This statement will be slightly modified when we discuss a systems global properties.) I Meet Chaos I first came across something called "dynamical systems" while I was at the University of California at Berkeley. But I hadn't paid much attention to them. I went through Berkeley very fast, and didn't have time to screw around. But when I got to Harvard for grad school, I bought René Thom's book Structural Stability and Morphogenesis, which had just come out in English. The best part of the book was the photos. Consider a crown worn by a king or a princess, in fairy tales or sometimes in real life. Why does a crown look the way it does? Well, a crown is kind of round, so it will fit on the head, and it has spires on the rim, like little triangular hatsbut who knows whyand sometimes on the end of the spires are little round balls, jewels or globs of gold. Other than the requirement that it fit on the head, the form of a crown seems kind of arbitrary. But right there in Thom's book was a photo of a steel ball that had been dropped into molten lead, along with the reactive splash of the molten liquid. The lead splash was a perfect crown--a round vertical column rising upward, then branching into triangular spires that get thinner and thinner (and spread out away from the center of the crown) as you approached the tips, but instead of ending in a point, each spire was capped with a spherical blob of lead. In other words, the shape of a crown isn't arbitrary at all: under certain conditions its form occurs spontaneously whenever a sphere is dropped into liquid. So the kings crown wasnt created to "symbolize" this or that. The form came first, a natural occurrence, and the interpretation came later. The word "morphogenesis" refers to the forms things take when they grow: bugs grow into a particular shape, as do

This week, we're proud to bring you excerpts from a 1996 federal civil rights compaint filed by Wayne E. Manzo in New Jersey against the CIA's Jogn M. Deutch, the rock singer Madonna, and others. Enjoy. "Plaintiff's personal life has been controlled by defendants B. Manzo, Romance, and Jederlinich, with the help of federal government agencies; violating the plaintiff's right to be left alone. Defts B. Manzo, D. Romance, M. Romance, K. Jederlinich, And L. Ciccone, conspired with the CIA and U.S. Army Propulsion Directorate in December of 1987 resulting in the plaintiff being set-up in a scandal with the U.S. Army Propulsion Directorate, at the NASA-Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio; where-upon the federal government removed all of the plaintiff's civil rights, initiated social and economic black-balling, and began illegal non-consensual medical experimentation in an attempt to make him heterosexual. "Plaintiff was drugged while working as an engineering intern for the U.S. Army Propulsion Directorate(drugged in March of 1988, after three months of civilian employment with the Army) resulting in a 60% reduction in mental activity and extreme emotional distress. U.S. Army employees: Acurio, Weden, Meitner, Kline, Valco, conspired to give the plaintiff a brain wash/mind control drug in March of 1988...plaintiff was then harassed, manipulated, threatened by the Army defts., and then fired from the engineering position in September of 1988(he was hired in Decemeber of 1989). Plaintiff has been continously assaulted, psychologically, and physically, and publicly defamed by the defts and their agents since his termination from the U.S. Army Propulsion Directorate in 1988. Said threats, physical assaults, and public defamation, have deterred and/or delayed the plaintiff from obtaining administrative or legal redress. "The defts and their agents have continued to utilize illegal/high technology methhods to incapacitate the plaintiff. In april of 1989 he was poisoned while emploued at Tappan Automation (Hackensack, NJ) which lasted for apporoximately one year. "The defts and their agents have contaminated the plaintiff's clothing and automobile from April 1989 through November of 1992 while he was residing in Bergen County, NJ resulting in the burning of the skin on his back and forearms, testicular pain, intense emotional distress, and mental dullness. On or about July 28, 1991, defts and their agents conspired to prevent the plaintiff from petitioning an administrative governmental agency(EEOC) concerning aggressive retaliatory action taken by the U.S. Army Propulsion Directorate. Plaintiff's automobile and home were severly contaminated and he was set-up by the CIA and Brian Manzo one day before he was to mail a grievance to the EEOC at NASA- Lewis, Cleveland. The plaintiff was illegally incarcerated and tortured for two weeks, denied counsel and procedural due process. While incarcerated plaintiff was given clothing which severly burned his left leg and was told that deft Weden was responsible. Plaintiff postponed filing the EEOC grievance for one year fearing further retaliation by the defts and their agents. "Defendants and their agents conspired to obstruct justice and deny the plaintiff access to the courts in October of 1992. Plaintiff filed a civil rights complaint, cv-92-3553 Newark, NJ, against the Army defts; the complaint was served in October of 1992. Plaintiff was subsequently tortured, threatened, and chased across the country and set-up/entrapped in Clark County, Nevada where he was illegally arrested and detained for one year. Deft. Weden appeared at the Henderson jail shortly after the plaintiff was arrested and stated that the plaintiff had lied to the Army and that they were going to murder him in jail. Plaintiff was denied counsel and procedural due process during the one year political imprisonment(November 10, 1992 - November 5, 1993). Plaintiff could not prosecute his NJ civil rights complaint as a result of retaliatory action by the defendants and their agents. Defendants and their agents conspired to obstruct justice by preventing the plaintiff from defendening against criminal charges while incarcerated for one year in the state of Nevada. Plaintiff was denied legal counsel and access to the courts concerning his arrest...as a result, the plaintiff was incarcerated for one year, illegally, in Nevada, without bail an without

Daring to criticize your disheartening leadership is a task not equal to the deeds of those good men we honor this Memorial Day, but an obedient combat vet and passionate lover of America can do no less. BOD: In Vietnam I served under a commander in chief whom history rightfully judges harshly. You, too, for good cause, are concerned about how history will judge you, yet you're making the same egregious errors as LBJ, ignoring the advice of military experts and waging your version of war with all the conceit of a political demagogue, telegraphing punches and publicizing strategy. Mr. President, using America's courageous aviators and their fabulous flying machines for ``Star Wars'' visual effects on the evening news is frightfully frivolous warfare. Employing America's awesome air power as cheap grace under the command of General Gallup Poll will not put you among the great leaders of history. Hypothetically, sir, if England responded to the rebels in Ireland as Israel and Milosevic respond to theirs, would you announce bombing attacks on the United Kingdom? Why is the quarrel in Kosovo so much more important to American interests than the infinitely worse genocide in Rwanda? Why should the Serbs believe what a highly respected Democrat calls ``an unusually good liar''? And tell me, Mr. President, why should the citizenry cut you more slack in moral rectitude than you demand of the soldiers you command? Back when you were doing your best to avoid becoming a vet, patriots of my generation willingly answered our country's call to help defend a small nation of farmers from communist aggression. Thanks to your efforts and others', America abandoned an ally on the battlefield for the first time in its history, leading to genocide of holocaust proportions. What did you learn from that experience? On The Mall in Washington, D.C., 58,200 souls, including eight of my friends, are memorialized for doing what you lacked the courage and patriotism to do. What, sir, is your rationale for asking today's young men to do what you would not? How do you justify casting America's fighter pilots in harm's way in an internal conflict far less clear-cut than the one you considered ``immoral'' in your draft-age years? On this Memorial Day, if the heroes listed on that granite wall were to rise from their graves, how would you explain to them your concept of duty, honor and country? Sir, history will be hard on leaders who use wars to divert attention from vile behavior and alarming legal questions. Fortunately for America, the soldiers you ``loathed'' in other times still follow your orders, but they're not dolts. They're leaving the service in droves, forcing your ``stop-loss'' order to bolt the exits. In the twilight of the last century, Rudyard Kipling spoke to this issue when he cast his acute poetic eye on the relationship between the soldier and a self-absorbed British society. In ``Tommy,'' a ballad about a private in the British Army, he concluded: For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' ``chuck him out, the brute'' But it's ``Saviour of 'is country'' when the guns begin to shoot; An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees! Sir Rudyard's reasoned rhymes still rule in America. If Kipling were now in the Colonies, he might add these verses to his classic: When Billy was of draft age, Southeast Asia was the cause; Tho' Uncle called, he ducked it without a moment's pause. Now 'e's safe within the White House, the artful dodger yet, Impeachment proof an' O so brave, when Kosovo's the bet. For it's Tommy this an' Tommy that, but when Billy needs a boost, 'E throws Tommy to the lions, to keep the chickens off the roost. An' it's Tommy this an' Tommy that an' any war's OK As long as it's not Billy boy they're chuckin' in harm's way. The good men we venerate today put God, duty, honor and country ahead of self.

Re: [CTRL] The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold
-Caveat Lector- Yardbird wrote: -Caveat Lector- personifications of the ubiquitous solar myth and whose exploits were well known, as reflected by such popular deities as Mithra, Heracles/Hercules, Dionysus and many others throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. The story of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in detail to that of the earlier savior-gods Krishna and Horus, who for millennia preceding Christianity held great favor with the people in much the same way as Jesus does today. Thus, the Jesus character is not unique or original, not "divine re velation." The only 'solar deity' in the aforementioned passage is Mithras and as no specifically Mithraic texts have survived it's somewhat presumptuous to definatively equate him with Jesus. Also as far as I remember Horus was born to Isis after she copulated with Osiris' dead body and then battled Seth for control of Upper/Lower Egypt - not quite Jesus-like I'd say. And Krishna is the 8th avatar of Vishnu and delights in amorous dance and partakes of many lovers - also not quite Jesus-like in my opinion. As for Dionysius and Herakles...well you'd have to be a twit to see any intimate parallel with Jesus. You'd have much better luck comparing Jesus and Tammuz. Jamieson I haven't read the book, but from what I see here, I must agree with Yardbird to some extent. The Jesus myth is based on a real person. The Jesus myth was readily accepted by the pagan world because Paul, the inventor of Christianity, tailored it to the well known mythologies of the day. Godlings from god and human parents were common and easily acceptable to every culture except the Jews who rightly saw it as idolatry and were forbidden to go there by the Bible. There is enough evidence to show conclusively the Jeshua was real because he left a movement well documented in the history ( not the Gospels )of the first century. Most of this history focusses on his brother James and the movement he continued after Jeshua's ( Jesus' ) death.

To see what this means, think of yourself driving down a road and coming to a fork. According to classical physics, you take one fork, and that's that. According to the conventional interpretation of quantum mechanics, you might take one fork or you might take the other, and which one you take will not be known until something happens to pin down your location, such as stopping at a gas station or restaurant, where some outside "observer" ascertains your location. There is something ghostly about the conventional quantum interpretation, since it assumes that you travel "virtually" (as opposed to "really") down both roads at once, until it is established that you "really" traveled down a particular fork. According to the Everett interpretation, you go down both roads. If you later stop for gas on the left fork and someone observes you there and you are yourself aware of being there, that doesn't mean there isn't another "you," uncoupled from the left-fork you, who stops to eat on the right fork, is observed by people there, and is aware of being there. Bryce DeWitt, my friend in Chapel Hill, chose to call the Everett interpretation the "many worlds" interpretation . . . = This is drivel.

Avery American Outlook Magazine, Spring 1998 http://www.hudson.org/American_Outlook/ articles_bin/Global%20Warming.htm Global warming may be coming, but if it does, it won't be as extreme as previously thought. And it might actually be a boon for the environment. "Climate extremes would trigger meteorological chaos-raging hurricanes such as we have never seen, capable of killing millions of people; uncommonly long, record-breaking heat waves; and profound drought that could drive Africa and the entire Indian subcontinent over the edge into mass starvation." --U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, World on Fire, 1991 "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." --H.L. Mencken, newspaper columnist, Baltimore Sun, 1925 We've all read the global warming scare stories lately. Be prepared for more of the same as the Kyoto Treaty sits stalled in the Senate and Al Gore ties his presidential run to environmental issues. Fortunately, there is no reason for alarm. Senator Mitchell's scary scenario was implausible when he presented it -- at a time when the crude computer climate models of the day were predicting three times as much warming as they currently do -- and is clearly untenable today. Climate researchers still do not agree on whether the earth will become warmer during the coming century. Even more importantly, none of them expect the planet to get very much warmer in the foreseeable future. They say that the earth is likely to warm by no more than 2 degrees Centigrade (3.5 degrees Fahrenheit) during the next century. All the climate circulation models have cut their original warming forecasts at least in half in recent years, after satellite studies indicated that additional cloud cover would moderate any warming trend. Highly accurate satellite data for the last nineteen years show a slight cooling of the atmosphere. Most of the one-half-degree Centigrade of warming that has occurred in the last one-hundred years took place before 1940 -- before humanity put very much CO2 into the air. Thus there is strong evidence that the two are unconnected. Research has only recently produced a computerized climate model able accurately to mimic the weather the world has actually had. This more-accurate model projects only a 2 degree Centigrade increase in temperatures. Medieval Global Warming That may sound like a lot, but it isn't. The world has experienced that much warming, and fairly recently in history. And we loved it! Between 900 AD and 1300 AD, the earth warmed by some 4 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit -- almost exactly what the models now predict for the twenty-first century. History books call it the Little Climate Optimum. Written and oral history tells us that the warming created one of the most favorable periods in human history. Crops were plentiful, death rates diminished, and trade and industry expanded -- while art and architecture flourished. The world's population experienced far less hunger. Food production surged because winters were milder and growing seasons longer. Key growing regions had fewer floods and droughts. Human death rates declined, partly because of the decrease in hunger and partly because people spent less of their time huddled in damp, smoke-filled hovels that encouraged the growth and spread of tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. Prosperity, fostered by the abundant crops and lower death rates, stimulated a huge outpouring of human creativity -- in engineering, trade, architecture, religion, art, and practical invention. Soon after the year 1400, however, the good weather ended. The world dropped into the Little Ice Age, with harsher cold, fiercer storms, severe droughts, more crop failures, and more famines. According to climate historian H.H. Lamb, during this period, "for much of the [European] continent, the poor were reduced to eating dogs, cats, and

-Caveat Lector- http://www.harborside.com/home/j/jollyroger/psywar2.txt ( was at: http://www.teleport.com/~walter/psywar2.txt ) ( then at: http://www.saber.net/~walter/psywar2.txt ) MIND CONTROL PRIMER -- In 1992, an Association sub-group known as the Electronic Surveillance Project published a preliminary investigative report, entitled "Microwave Harassment Mind-Control Experimentation", which detailed the covert deployment and testing of emerging behavior-modifying directed- energy technologies on US citizens against whom the United States Government has no legitimate legal or moral claim. In the repertoir we find: satanic cults; UFO cults, directed- energy technologies; neurocyberneticist psychotechnologies; biotechnologies/ experimental drugs; multinational government contractors and subsidiaries; investment portfolios and other financial inducements; imported East Bloc mercenaries and military equipment; imported foreign national scientists; a controlled and compliant media; decentralized US government control; an induced crime wave. Big Brother's Recipe for "Revolution in Military Affairs" In light of recent events, are we currently in the midst of an engineered revolution such as this? by Glenn Krawczyk PO Box 1540 Burleigh Heads, Qld 4220 Australia In 1994, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) of the US Army War College (Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania) produced a paper entitled, "The Revolution in Military Affairs and Conflict Short of War". In the paper, the authors propose that, many American strategic thinkers believe that we are in the beginning stages of a [sic] historical revolution in military affairs (RMA). This will not only change the nature of warfare, but also alter the global geopolitical balance." This revolution is not only strategic. It is also fundamentally technological. "Sensor technology, robotics, nonlethal weapons, and intelligence meshes will be used in combating terrorism, countering narcotrafficking, and peace operations. These technologies, along with simulator training and unmanned aerial vehicles, will also be useful in insurgency and counterinsurgency. "3 The authors of the SSI paper recommend ongoing research, analysis and debate on a number of topics including, "Technology designed specifically for conflict short of war, especially psychological, biological, and defensive technology." 4 They also suggest that, as "large numbers of Americans may find themselves in areas of instability and conflict", such individuals might benefit from being "equipped with an electronic individual position locator device (IPLD). The device, derived from the electronic bracelet used to control some criminal offenders or parolees, would continuously inform a central data bank of the individuals' locations. Eventually such a device could be permanently implanted under the skin..." The paper also openly declares that, "Behavior modification is a key component of peace enforcement," and that "Soft kill" systems can play a key role. "6 Furthermore, with regard to counterinsurgency, "Greatly improved intelligence gathering and fusion is a primary component of the RMA, and proposed information warfare capabilities might be ideally suited for helping develop desired emotions, attitudes or behavior." 7 The authors recognize that, "The use of new technology may also run counter to basic American values", and that, "Deception, while frequently of great military or political value, is thought of as somehow 'un- American'." 8 Due to this fact, and also that the majority of Americans may find the use of many of the emerging technologies "morally difficult", the authors conclude that the military might consider that "American values and attitudes thus form significant constraints on full use of emerging technology, at least in anything short of a perceived war for national survival." 9 The central premise of the paper is that: "In its purest sense, revolution brings change that is permanent fundamental and rapid. The basic premise of the revolution in military affairs (RMA) is simple: throughout history, warfare usually developed in an evolutionary fashion, but occasionally ideas and inventions combined to propel dramatic and decisive change. This not only affected the application of military force, but often altered the geopolitical balance in favor of those who mastered the new form of warfare. The stakes of military revolution are thus immense...". With such "immense" stakes, might the military have felt the need to covertly foster revolution in order to bring about the change necessary to make the use of new weapons and technologies less "morally difficult" for the American people? The paper leaves the reader in little doubt that the answer to this question is resolutely affirmative, for the paper declares: "Overcoming these constraints to make a RMA in conflict short of war would

Massachusetts 02178 PRINTING HISTORY Harcourt, Brace edition published 1952 Free Enterprise edition published 1958 American Opinion edition published 1961 The Americanist Library edition published 1965 170pps out-of-print --[11]-- CHAPTER ELEVEN The Priest Who Confronted Stalin Many surprising things turned up on the Pipeline, but most unexpected of all was a priest. Before I tell the story of Father Orlemanski, it is necessary to recall some details of the tragic fate of Poland. I speech on Jan. 22, 1944 Winston Churchill gave the clue that the Western Powers were planning to deliver Poland, one of their staunchest allies, into Russian hands. The Prime Minister could afford to take the public lead; he had no Polish constituency, while the United States had 3,000,000 citizens of Polish birth or descent. At Teheran, four months earlier, Poland's death-sentence had been arranged; it was to be executed at Yalta early in 1945. Prominent roles in the tragedy were played by two American citizens who were cleared from Great Falls to Moscow on April 12 and 19, 1944. Both had been equipped by the State Department with passports authorizing travel to the Soviet Union, and by the War Department with military passes for the Western Defense Command (Great Falls) and Alaska Defense Force (Fairbanks). First to arrive was Oscar Richard Lange, professor of economics at Chicago University. Born and educated in Poland, be had been a traveling fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation from 1934-36 and had come to America in 1937, at the age of 33. He was naturalized in 1943. I first heard of Oscar Lange from Colonel Kotikov, who was leaving on one of his mysterious hurry-up flights to Washington. He asked me to keep a particular look-out for a man "high in Polish affairs" who would be passing through on the way to Moscow. He could be identified because he "walked with a limp." On account of an urgent appointment in Edmonton, he was to be sent along without delay. As my diary records, Professor Lange arrived on April 11 and departed early the next morning. In the press of other business I took little notice except to examine his papers, which were in order. But I sat up when a telegram was forwarded by the Airbase Commander. It was from General Marshall, who sent his personal order for the professor's clearance. I thought, "This Lange must really be a V.I.P." Never before, at Great Falls, had such intervention from the Army Chief of Staff occurred. The second American was Father Stanislaus Orlemanski. To the best of my information, Professor Lange and Father Orlemanski were the first Americans to pass the "Iron Curtain" stretched across the Bering Sea. Father Orlemanski was the pastor of a church in Springfield, Mass. He was possessed by the idea of an heroic mission. He would confront Joseph Stalin face to face and wrest from him a promise that Communist persecution of religion would cease. For such a dream there have not been too many parallels since the Middle Ages. In the year 1219 another of "God's fools," Saint Francis of Assisi, trudged across a no-man's land in Egypt, through the Moslem camp where there was a price on every Christian head, and stood at last before the Saracen commander-in-chief. To Sultan Malik-al-Kamil the friar preached the Gospel and implored him to accept baptism. The monarch smiled, but granted safe-conduct to Francis and remarked to his courtiers that for the first time he had met a "true Nazarene." On the morning of April 18 Colonel Kotikov telephoned us that he had been stranded at Billings, Montana. In a B-25 bomber, Colonel Boaz, Major Paul Reid and I flew to the rescue, returning about 2:15 the same afternoon. There in my office, sitting with an air of tranquil patience, was a Catholic priest. He was nearly six feet tall and had the build of a husky workingman. We shook hands and exchanged names. Quite simply, Father Orlemanski said that he was on the way to Moscow. I, Major Jordan, was to put him on a plane. He spoke with the serenity of one who had taken to heart the favorite maxim of Saint Francis of Assisi: "Cast your care upon God, and He will protect you." Thinking of the fate in store for a priest in Russia, I was horrified. I demanded his credentials, never dreaming he could have any. To my stupefaction, he offered military passes for the Alaska Defense Force and Western Defense Command, bearing the names of their respective chiefs, Major General Simon B. Buckner and Major General David McCoach, Jr. Next he produced a passport from the State Department empowering him to travel to the Soviet Union by way of Egypt, Iraq and Iran. He also had visas for the three countries. I asked why he was in Montana instead of the Near East. The Soviet Consulate in New York, he answered, had instructed him to ignore the

Everyone was talking and laughing, and I kept trying to say something. Their conversation became louder drowning out my voice. Nobody looked at me. Nobody acknowledged that I had said something. I felt like I was in a glass cage. I could see out, but no one could see in. The feelings of isolation were unbearable. I walked over to my mother and started pulling on her sleeve. "Mom, Mom, listen to me!" I pleaded. She continued to laugh with the others, without so much as her head turning toward me. I looked up at my entire family. "Listen to me!" I screamed, "Why won't you listen to me?" Still, they didn't look at me. I I felt like I was invisible. Anger burned inside of me. The frustration made every cell in my body turn to fire. I hated them, but there was nothing I could do to make them acknowledge my existence. I reached for a hammer and smashed my arm. "Look at this!" I said. "Do you see this?" Still no one noticed. I became crazed with my fury to hurt myself I was mocking just how little they cared. "Look at this!" I said, and I started rubbing my body on the carpet as hard as I could to give it rug bum. I felt nothing. My body didn't exist. All I wanted to do was hurt my family, and my body was the tool I could use to show just what they had done to me. I wanted to make people see the pain. I wanted to mock the games of silence I never had control over Still nobody noticed. There was a knock at the door I got up and answered it. It was my best friend, Kristin. She looked at me with horror "Oh, my God," she said. "What have you done?" For the first time, I looked down at my body and noticed the torn and mangled flesh. I felt confused and numb. I had never noticed the physical damage. "We've got to call the ambulance," she said. I was quiet. I didn't know what to do anymore. The ambulance came, and they hooked me up to an I.V. and a life-support system. The medic looked down at me and said, "You know you may die." I looked over my body and saw the bruised limbs and the tired bones. I felt overwhelmed with grief My body had paid the price for all the pain I could never express in words. I realized that the most important relationship in my life is the relationship I have with myself. Who was my family, anyway? Who were any of those people who ignored me? My body was going to die. I was going to die. What had I done to deserve any of this? I had punished me because I could never punish anyone else. I always vented my frustration on me because no one else could acknowledge the all-penetrating injustices perpetrated against me. In that final instance, I saw it. I saw that no matter what happens, that no matter what anyone ever says or does to me, it will never be worth losing me. And I felt it. I truly felt it. Mewithout anyone's opinions or ideas of what I was. just me. I looked at my body, and I truly remembered. I knew I had to keep living. I had found my reason to survive. Although many different groups engage in ritual abuse, the abuse has many common characteristics. Sexual abuse, animal and human sacrifice, and physical torture are common themes. Many groups also profit financially from child pornography and child prostitution. Most victims of ritual abuse report being drugged during the abuse.

Memorial Day Weekend Slaughter PHOENIX, May 31 - Memorial Day Weekend usually brings reports of death toll on the U.S. highways. This time, however, the slaughter took place half the world away as death rained on Serb cities, highways and bridges from the skies over Serbia. With about an hour to go before the stroke of midnight on Monday, the Serb civilian Memorial Day Weekend slaughter stood at over 100, said a TiM source at Radio Belgrade, making this the bloodiest weekend since the start of NATO's bombing on Mar. 24. Many more are also dying as indirect victims of the NATO strikes, which knocked out electricity this evening again in Belgrade for the second day in a row. Specifically, it is the hospital patients on life-support systems and the newborn babies who cannot survive the electrically-powered medical equipment. The exact number of such casualties across Serbia is not known, but it should be added to the above death toll number. So as we say our prayers today for the fallen American soldiers of the past wars, let us not forget to do so also for the souls of the innocent civilians killed in their beds or on the bridges by the current crop of American and other NATO pilots. 2. NATO Returns to the Scene of an Earlier Crime: 11 Dead in Strike on Old Age Home, Sanatorium SURDULICA, May 31 - NATO returned today to the scene of an earlier crime striking an old age home and sanatorium in Surdulica, killing at least 11 people. More victims are feared dead, buried under the rubble. This was the second time the sanatorium had been hit since the NATO air strikes began on March 24. Surdulica, about 75km (50 miles) southeast of the city of Nis near the Nis-Skopje highway, was also the scene of one of NATO's previous high-profile blunders. On April 27, 20 people, mainly women and children, were killed during an air strike intended for an army barracks. NATO later admitted that a laser-guided bomb went astray and hit a residential area, destroying scores of homes (see S99-58, Day 36, Update 1, Item 1, Apr. 28). In Ripanj, a village below Mount Avala south of Belgrade where a huge transmitter has been crippled in previous strikes, Slavica Kostic lay dead, surrounded by the rubble of her house, the Reuters newswire reported today. Her small cat, blood dripping from its ears, crouched near her body, refusing to move. Her son Ljuba was wounded in the attack, which destroyed several surrounding houses. The electrical power plant in Obrenovac, outside of Belgrade, was last night hit, causing power failures in some parts of the capital. Belgrade residents also reported hearing strong explosions from the southern and eastern suburbs of the city. The city authorities later said three people were wounded in an attack on an empty barracks in Volga Street, in the densely populated Zvezdara district. Many buildings several blocks away had their windows shattered. "Our whole building shook and windows and doors rattled," said a TiM source who lives in New Belgrade, several miles away from the site of last night's strike. A woman standing outside her house spoke on the telephone, its cord stretched through a hole where her window had been, the Reuters newswire reported this morning from Belgrade. And this evening, many parts of Belgrade were again without power, following another powerful explosion, the same source from New Belgrade reported. Which also means no water for many apartment dwellers. "We are okay on the ground floor," our source said. "But the people who live higher up don't have any water when the electricity goes out." "Guess this means no bread again tomorrow morning," the source added, almost as an afterthought. "No bread? Are you serious? Why not?"

[CTRL] Euro-ckin'
-Caveat Lector- From wsws.org World Socialist Web Site www.wsws.org -- -- WSWS : News Analysis : World Economy Falling euro a symptom of wider problems By Nick Beams 1 June 1999 Back to screen version The launch of the euro on January 4 was accompanied by the release of hundreds of balloons as finance ministers gathered in Brussels to proclaim a new era for Europe. Predictions were made that the euro could rapidly rise by as much as 40 percent on its opening exchange rate with the US dollar and soon become an international currency and store of value. But five months on, the euro has plunged by nearly 12 percent from its opening rate of $1.18, with forecasts that it will soon hit parity with the US dollar. The steady decline since the heady days of January accelerated last week with the announcement of an agreement by European Union finance ministers to allow Italy to ease its budget deficit goal for 1999 to 2.4 percent of gross domestic product from an initial target of 2 percent. Italian officials insisted that lower than expected economic growth meant they could not meet the original target. Official predictions are for a 1.5 percent growth rate in the Italian economy. But most market estimates are for a rate of only 1 percent, raising the possibility that the deficit will blow out to as much as 2.7 per cent of GDP. Even though these projections are still below the 3 percent level set under the terms of the single currency stability pact, the concessions given to the Italian government have prompted concerns in banking circles about the future direction of the euro. While German chancellor Gerhard Shroeder sought to reassure markets with the assertion that the easing of Italian budget targets was a one-off, the president of the European Central Bank Wim Duisenberg had earlier issued a warning that the stability pact was in the process of losing its forcefulness and that further fiscal laxity could weaken the euro. The president of the German Bundesbank, Hans Tietmeyer, said he would not be happy if the euro fell further. His designated successor, Ernst Welteke declared that that drift towards parity with the dollar had to stop". If the Italian budgetary position had been the only concern, the decision to relax the deficit guidelines would probably have had a limited impact on the value of the euro. But the Italian deficit problems are only the symptom of a wider problemstagnation in the European economy. In an editorial on the euro last Saturday, the Financial Times pointed out that the euro is weak mainly because the euro-zone economy is weak". The euro-zone economy has been worse affected by demand shocks from Asia and Russia than forecasters expected. Germany and Italy have been the worst victims. The OECD has cut its forecasts for these economies by more than 1 percent since last summer. Together they account for half of the euro-zone, and so they have dragged the European economy, and the currency, down. The editorial pointed to the problems this would create in the event of a fall in US growth rates. The major cause for concern, it declared, should not be the weakness of the euro but rather the weakness of the European economy. If strong US growth falters, the euro-zone is in no position to take over as the engine of world growth. The outlook for the euro-zone, if business confidence surveys ... are to be believed, is worse than the grimmest growth forecasts suggest. The editorial concluded with a call for a more vigorous implementation of the free market agenda demanded by the banks and financial institutionscuts in social security and increased labour market flexibility. The European economies, it insisted, need to sort out their unwieldy social security systems, liberalise their labour markets, and foster greater competition in their product markets. Such reforms were neglected in the run-up to the euro's launch. Now the euro is up and running successfullyalthough at a weaker rate than most expectedgovernments have no excuse. They must begin the difficult but unavoidable reforms needed to make the euro-zone a success. Continuing recession in Japan The stagnation in Europe is only one expression of the problems besetting the global capitalist economy. Another area of continuing concern is the failure of the Japanese economy to exhibit any signs of recovery, despite the largest government expenditure program ever undertaken in the post-war period. A recent article by Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist Rudi Dornbusch warned that the escalation of debt in Japan could become the biggest financial crisis of the postwar period because the problem is out of control and the management is both distracted by politics and deeply confused as to the depth of the deterioration already in
[CTRL] A Sporting Chance
-Caveat Lector- From Irish Times Tuesday, June 1, 1999 EU backs Andrews's call for UEFA to cancel match -- -- From Patrick Smyth, in Brussels EU Foreign Ministers reacted angrily yesterday to UEFA's refusal to postpone or cancel matches involving the former Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). With the Yugoslav match against Ireland scheduled for Saturday, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Andrews, told ministers their appeal on April 26th to international sporting organisations to back a boycott had not been heeded, and he urged them to reiterate their call. He said that since April there had been a deterioration in the situation in Kosovo and President Milosevic had been indicted for war crimes. The ministers backed Mr Andrews, issuing a statement reiterating their position: "Recalling its conclusions of April 26th on sporting contacts with the former Republic of Yugoslavia, and taking into account developments since then, the Council expresses its disappointment that some major sporting events are still taking place. "It calls on international sporting organisations in Europe, notably UEFA, to reconsider decisions which would permit such sporting fixtures." Mr Andrews said the issue would be discussed today in Cabinet, where a decision on withholding visas could be taken. However Mr Andrews said they would be keen to give UEFA another chance to respond. He said it was "unreal" of UEFA to ask the Irish to play the match in these circumstances, particularly when it has already shown its willingness to bar FRY teams form club competitions. The Minister for Sport, Dr McDaid, has said he will raise the question of the match at a meeting of EU Sports Ministers today in Paderborn, Germany. UEFA is not alone, however, in defying the EU ministers' appeal. Basketball's international body, FIBA, currently preparing for the European Championships in France from June 21st to July 3rd, has said the appeal will not make any difference to its policy. Unless it too reconsiders its position the French government may also have to consider the refusal of visas to FRY players, all the more awkward because they are the current European champions.

Here then is today's ZNet Commentary... -- BOMB THE NEW YORK TIMES? By Edward S. Herman and David Peterson NATO spokespersons have justified the bombing of Serbian TV and radio on the grounds that these broadcasters are an "instrument of state propaganda," tell lies, spew forth hatred, provide no "balance" in their offerings, and thus help prolong the war. In an April 8th news briefing NATO Air Commodore David Wilby explained: "Serb radio is an instrument of propaganda and repression. It has filled the airwaves with hate and with lies over the years, and especially now. It is therefore a legitimate target in this campaign. If President Milosevic would provide equal time for Western news broadcasts in his programs without censorship...then his TV would become an acceptable instrument of public information." The mainstream U.S. media have accepted this NATO rationale for silencing the Serbian media, viewing themselves as truth-tellers and supporters of just policies against the evil enemy. But this is the long-standing self-deception of people whose propaganda service is as complete as that of Serbian state broadcasters. Just as they did during the Persian Gulf war, the mainstream media once again serve as cheer-leaders and propagandists for "our" side. And as the brief review below shows, on NATO principles the Times et al. are eminently bombable. --Balance. The Serbian media is bombable, says Wilby, because it has not provided "equal time" to western broadcasters. This ludicrous criterion is far better met by the Serbian media than by those of the U.S. (or Britain). An estimated one-third or more of Belgrade residents watch western TV news broadcasts (including CNN, BBC, and Britain's Sky News), and many Serbs watch CNN for advance warning of bombing raids. This greatly exceeds the proportion of U.S. citizens who have access to dissident foreign messages, and domestic dissent here is marginalized. FAIR's May 5 study "Slanted Sources in Newshour and Nightline Kosovo Coverage" showed that only 8 percent of its participants were critical of the bombing campaign, far below the Wilby standard for Serbia. --Spewing hatred. The demonization of Milosevic, the shameless use of of the plight of Albanian refugees to stoke hatred and justify NATO violence, and the near-reflexive use of words like "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" surely competes with anything that the "state-controlled" Serbian media have served up. As with the earlier demonization of Saddam Hussein, Newsweek placed Milosevic on its cover titled "The Face of Evil" (April 19), while Time showed the demon's face with an assassin's crosshairs centered between his eyes (April 5). A State Department official has acknowledged that "the demonization of Milosevic is necessary to maintain the air attacks" (San Francisco Chronicle, March 30, 1999), and the media have responded. Times Foreign Affairs columnist Thomas Friedman has repeatedly called for the direct killing of Serbian civilians--"less than surgical bombing" and "sustained unreasonable bombing"--as a means of putting pressure on the Yugoslavian government (April 6, 9, 23, May 4 and 11), which amounts to urging NATO to commit war crimes. If Serb broadcasters were openly calling for slaughtering Kosovo Albanians the media would surely regard this as proving Serb barbarism. --Evading or suppressing inconvenient facts and issues. Because the NATO attack is in violation of the UN Charter, the mainstream media have set this issue aside, although in 1990, when George Bush could mobilize a Security Council vote for his war, he stated that he acted on behalf of a world "where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle." In 1990 it was awkward that Bush had appeased Saddam Hussein before his invasion of Kuwait, so the media buried that fact; in 1999 the media rarely mention that Clinton supported the massive Croatian ethnic cleansing of Serbs in 1995 or that he has consistently ignored Turkey's repression of Kurds (with Turkey actually providing bases for NATO bombing attacks

And, who knows, some of the idiots that are promoting this may some day wake up and realize that it is their food as well. As for stopping what is happening; that WILL NOT happen until YOU stop empowering the so-called government by participating in their fraud and deceit. I suggest you read my series and the book Strategic Withdrawal to understand. Now, the rest of the story. The Campaign for Food Safety April/99 posted from a notice by The Campaign for Food Safety COMMENTS TO FDA NEEDED BY MAY 18. PLEASE PUBLICIZE THIS ISSUE. The FDA is planning to remove all current labeling requirements for irradiated food. The FDA has approved irradiation for essentially all foods, including fruits and vegetables. Without labeling, there will be no way for you to know if your food has been irradiated. If labels are eliminated now, only a public health catastrophe can reinstate them. Irradiated foods could be on your table within a year-some facilities already exist, and hundreds more could be built. The labeling requirement has been the sole impediment to widespread use of irradiation. Irradiation proponents fear that even the current requirement -- a tiny statement no bigger than the ingredients, and no statement at all for irradiated components of mixed food -- will scare consumers. The FDA proposal to remove labeling practically begs for 'consumer focus' studies that will tell it how to 're-educate' the 77% of the public that does not want irradiation. Irradiation has powerful friends in the food processing and nuclear industries, the medical establishment, and the Federal government. For several years they have been engaging in a covert public relations campaign to convince us that irradiation is the answer to food safety problems, like contaminated Guatemalan raspberries and lunch meats. But if you look at the news, these problems are overwhelmingly concentrated in the meat and poultry processing business. Jack-in-the-Box and Hudson Food lost a lot of money. Irradiation is really just a quick (and temporary) fix for poor slaughterhouse sanitation, and a way of disposing of nuclear wastes by selling them to private industry and leaving the taxpayers to fund the inevitable clean-up costs. It is completely unethical to impose irradiation on people who do not want it in order to protect the factory-farmers from the consequences of their business practices. And the FDA is trying to keep this issue out of the spotlight --- it won't post comments on the internet. WHAT CAN YOU DO: Send a comment to the FDA demanding labeling, the use of the terms "irradiation" or "irradiated" and the use of the radura symbol. Tell the FDA you feel proposed alternative terms such as "cold pasteurization" and "electronic pasteurization" are misleading and should not be used. Say that the absence of a statement would be misleading because irradiation destroys vitamins and causes changes in sensory and spoilage qualities that are not obvious or expected by the consumer. A general statement opposing irradiation will NOT help, because the FDA requests comments on only two issues: 1) Whether the wording of the current radiation disclosure statement should be revised; and , 2) whether such labeling requirements should expire at a specified date in the future." The complete proposal is at: http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/98fr/021799a.txt E-mail your comments TODAY to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put the docket number in the "Subject" line.

[CTRL] Real Tragedy
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.libertysoft.com/liberty/features/74kosovo.html#steele The Real Kosovo Tragedy -- -- by David Ramsay Steele -- -- I was standing with my wife and children near the Picasso statue. The priest was singing the prayer in Church Slavonic. There was a microphone, but it sounded as though he didn't need it. Since it was Good Friday, we didn't get the usual sullen sidelong looks (Why aren't those kids in school?). There were not many more than a thousand people in the square. For nearly all of them, it wasn't Good Friday, because this year the Orthodox Easter (Pascha) falls a week later than the Western. Chicago, by the way, has the largest concentration of Serbs outside Yugoslavia. We might be bombed. You don't think the Clinton regime would bomb an American city? I wouldn't count on it. They incinerated the residents of Mount Carmel, just for having slightly weird religious views and being prepared to defend themselves against armed assault. No one even thought of impeaching our lovable rogue merely for this mass murder of American citizens. He bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, announced he would very soon release the proof that this factory had some kind of connection with terrorism, and never did. The regime wasn't even mildly embarrassed by that. The priest stopped singing in Church Slavonic and began singing the translation, into Serbian. Only a few years ago we called that language Serbo-Croatian. In Church Slavonic, or even in Serbian, the singing was piercingly beautiful. But for most people there, it was something routinely familiar. They had heard it on many a Sunday. How did we come to be in this unlikely company? We had switched on our TV, and seen our tax dollars at work, raining down death and destruction on the Yugoslavs. We heard the talking heads saying: Why this namby-pamby approach? We have to exterminate the Serbs to get results. Let's do it! (My translation from Beltway Wonkspeak into English.) We called both Libertarian Party numbers (Chicago and Illinois). Nothing doing. I sent an email to Senator Peter Fitzgerald, thanking him for voting against the bombing. I couldn't send him a second one, because then I would be revealed as a crank, and the minuscule value of my first email would be wiped out. Whom do you call when you're beginning to suspect that World War III has begun, and our side are the Nazis? The Left? The Right? There was no visible sign of any anti-war activity from either quarter. The Serbian Orthodox Church, said my wife, Lisa, and called them. A demonstration? Well, a prayer vigil. Daley Plaza. Friday, 1:00 p.m. So there we were. The younger of our children clapped when everyone else clapped, even when the speech was in Serbian. There weren't many in the throng who weren't Orthodox. About half of them carried icons and at least three quarters crossed themselves in the Orthodox fashion at appropriate moments. Serbian flags. Greek flags. Only one or two Russian flags. A message was read from Yugoslav Jewish leaders denouncing the NATO bombing, then another from the Crown Prince of Yugoslavia, denouncing the bombing at greater length. Both messages were cheered. Many in the crowd were carrying enormous pictures of a deep red flower, somewhat between a rose and a poppy. Others had a picture of concentric circles on their backs, a target, with the legend "I am proud to be Serbian. Kill me." A very few had more secular slogans: "Mr. Clinton! The Serbs Will Not Go Down On Their Knees Like Monica Did." Yes, we're still at the early stage where we call this specimen "Mr." After the Serbian version, the English translation was sung. The priest was asking that all the Christians killed in the recent bombing be forgiven all their sins, "both voluntary and involuntary." So someone's looking after that side of things. My thoughts scanned the heavens for help from a different quarter, possibly no more reliable. Will Russia do something? The Russians could start bombing KLA positions in Kosovo and Albania, for example. (This would be worth it, I think, just to hear Clinton's argument that there was something wrong with it.) They could announce publicly that any land invasion of Yugoslavia would result in a state of war between Russia and the U.S. They could put a token tripwire force of Russian troops into Kosovo and, while they're at it, into Montenegro, before the U.S. succeeds in annexing Montenegro as they have already annexed Bosnia and Macedonia. I am very much afraid that none of this will materialize. The Clinton administration's statements seem to indicate that they are very sure of Russia. This would signify that the Russians have promised that they will do nothing to resist. The U.S. can invade Yugoslavia, and Russia will

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: In Flanders Fields
-Caveat Lector- Colleen, Thanks for posting this poem. I remember reading it in sixth or seventh grade, but I remembered it again when I was working in Belgium in 87-89. No one can understand the destruction and loss of human life from WWI until you have been to Flanders fields. All along the main highway from Iper near the coast and bordering France for at least 20 miles you see the crosses of the dead from that war. Canadian, American, British, even German cemetaries. I was amazed that there were few German cemetaries till I found out that most of the crosses in the German cemetaries represented the deaths of whole units. When they plow the ground you can still easily find medicine bottles, bullets, shells etc. from fifty years ago.

[CTRL] COSCO and Clinton ... Again
-Caveat Lector- Insight Magazine May 1999 Timothy W. Maier The Chinese Ocean Shipping Co.'s bid to operate from the Long Beach Naval Station foundered amid controversy, but the City of Angels now is eager to make a similar deal. They're back. The China Ocean Shipping Co., or COSCO, the merchant marine for the People's Liberation Army, or PLA, has returned with a vengeance. It didn't set well with COSCO when it lost out on the former U.S. Navy base in Long Beach, Calif., last year because an alerted Congress tucked legislation into an appropriations bill prohibiting such a takeover. . . . . But Beijing now may have an opportunity to slip through the back door while Congress is focused on the Kosovo crisis. COSCO's checkered past includes smuggling heroin and AK-47 assault rifles into the United States and delivering arms worldwide for the PLA, but it has not given up hope of securing a U.S. mainland facility for its shipping and/or espionage operations. Insight has learned that COSCO could end up with its port, anyway, once another company takes over the old Long Beach Naval Station and port facility. . . . . If that fails, COSCO has set its sights on a base in Los Angeles, which is only too eager to do business with the comrades. Supporters of COSCO -- such as "honorary adviser" and former secretary of state Al Haig and a host of Long Beach and Los Angeles officials -- claim it is no threat, noting it has been operating in the port for 15 years, sharing facilities as it has done in New York and Miami. . . . . But COSCO doesn't have its own port, with its own armed security and potential base for espionage, which is a major difference to concerned U.S. intelligence experts who long have warned that allowing COSCO to operate its own port on U.S. soil could create a national-security nightmare. . . . . Sen. James M. Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, has described the PLA's shipping arm this way: "COSCO is not a benign private commercial enterprise. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of China's People's Liberation Army. It serves as the merchant marine of the Chinese military, and there is every reason to believe it will do their bidding in terms of smuggling, intelligence-gathering and weapons shipments. Considering China's long-term ambitions for superpower status in the next century, it would be foolish for America to surrender control of a strategically located West Coast port to an arm of the Chinese military." . . . . Just how foolish? Here's a snapshot of COSCO's history of activity in U.S. ports. In 1992 the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission fined COSCO $400,000 for paying kickbacks. In 1993 a COSCO ship was caught transporting 87 pounds of heroin. In 1996, a Justice Department sting operation exposed an attempt to sell 2,000 AK-47s to California street gangs, with the promise of delivering missiles to knock a 747 airliner out of the sky. . . . . Concern about this pattern of behavior last year prompted Inhofe and California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter to use an appropriations bill to prohibit COSCO from seizing the Long Beach Naval Port. But this did nothing to prevent COSCO from taking over a civilian port or even negotiating a port deal with Los Angeles. Speculators are only too glad to work out a land swap. Informed of COSCO's latest plan, Hunter tells Insight, "I'm going to write a letter to the secretary of the Navy and tell him such a land-swap deal using the Navy base as trade bait for an alternative location for COSCO is an attempt to circumvent Congress' intent." . . . . Hunter says he also plans to introduce legislation calling for a "comprehensive ban on shipping companies guilty of illicit arms transfers, as COSCO is, from having access to American ports." He adds: "It's sad to see commercial greed has outbalanced legitimate security interests." . . . . As of now, COSCO is subleasing port facilities in the Long Beach area and in several other parts of the country. But it wants its own secure port operation. Surprised that Beijing is planning to go ahead, Hunter and Inhofe will have to move fast to stop the Chinese military's merchant shipper from securing a permanent U.S. base. Inhofe's spokesman, Gary Hoitsma, says issues associated with the war in Kosovo have been taking up most of their time, but they will take a hard look at COSCO to see what sort of legislation would have to be passed to prevent it from landing a port in a heavy high-tech and defense area. . . . . President Clinton has no plans to thwart this Communist China priority. In fact, the Clinton administration has done just the opposite. At the very time the Justice Department launched its biggest espionage case since the Rosenbergs, concerning allegations that nuclear secrets were stolen by Beijing from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Clinton was paving the way for COSCO to take over the port at Long Beach. Even as it denied payments had been made by the government of China to the Clinton/Gore campaign fund
[CTRL] OT: Terence McKenna ... (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Sat, 29 May 1999 21:37:57 -0700 From: Dennis McKenna, by way of: Arlene [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Terence McKenna ... Terence McKenna Land HONOLULU (DNN, May 22) Terence McKenna has been hospitalized after suffering massive seizures Saturday evening. A biopsy has revealed that he has an advanced frontal lobe tumor. His brother Dennis has provided details in this message to all concerned. National radio host Art Bell has announced GREAT EXPERIMENT #8 which will harness the intentions of millions of people simultaneously focused on healing Terence at exactly 2pm Pacific Daylight Time (9pm GMT) on Sunday May 30th. Please join us in the effort to save this great man. To all [from Dennis McKenna], This is the second (or third, I forget) update on Terence's situation. Most of you already know that he is in the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, having been diagnosed with brain cancer. If I missed including you in this "update list" please forgive the omission; the older version of AOL was giving me a lot of trouble trying to put together a list, and you may have been missed in my attempts to work around that (count on AOL *not* to work when you really need it). I've now installed a newer version which seems to me much better. Also, feel free to forward this to anyone you feel would want to know that is not on this list but would like to be. Here's the current situation; it is now Wednesday, 5/26, about 9 am here in Honolulu. Terence, who has been here since Saturday after being flown here from Kona after suffering several massive seizures, underwent the preliminary biopsy procedure yesterday to collect a sample of the tumor so they can determine what type it is and try to fill in the picture as to various treatment options. They will get the tissues back later today, and then will know more about the cancer as such, what type it is, etc. But they already know enough from the CAT scans and other data to present a fairly grim picture. Here's the bare bones: The tumor is lodged so deeply in the brain, and is located in such a place, that surgery is probably not an option. There is a significant chance he would not survive it, or survive it but remain in a coma with severely impaired functions, or (the most optimistic scenario) survive with impaired functions that could be recovered partially through rehabilitation. The problem is that he would probably not survive long enough to complete rehabilitation. So the current options are as follows: Instead of surgery, the doctor (Dr. Keep) is suggesting the gamma knife, this is a focused gamma beam that will destroy the tumor. It is a noninvasive procedure that is a one-day procedure; so it is like surgery but using gamma particles instead of a knife. That will kill the primary tumor (and he is now satisfied it is a primary brain tumor, not a metastatic tumor from some other part of the body). There is no sign of cancer elsewhere in Terences' body. The tumor may then resorb, or it may swell, putting pressure on the brain which may necessitate surgery later on anyway. And that surgery will be much more dangerous because he will still be recovering from the gamma surgery. The gamma procedure also should (in the doctor's view) be followed up by x-ray radiotherapy to destroy cancer cells in the surrounding tissue. This is a more diffuse, less focused procedure than the gamma knife, and requires treatement 5 days a week for about six weeks. That will buy more time, but the drawback is that Terenece would feel fine for a while, (although the usual effects of radiation therapy; hair loss, severe fatigue, immune compromise, etc.) but then in about a year would suffer what's called radiation dementia, involving severe memory loss, loss of cognitive functions, etc. This radiation dementia is not a maybe, it is a certainty. The further bad news is that the doctor doesn't think he will survive long enough to experience radiation dementia. None of these procedures is a cure. The doctor is very clear on this point. The procedures, and the various options, are to buy Terence some time, preserve quality of life as much as possible as long as possible, but right now, short of an outright miracle, survival beyond about two years maximum is extremely unlikely. Here is the projected survival rates for various options: 1.Do nothing, prevent seizures, keep the swelling down and keep him comfortable: death in 1 month to two months maximum 2.Proceed with the gamma knife operation, kill the primary tumor, and do not follow up with X-ray therapy. Survival to about six months, during which time he will feel relatively good, and will not have dementia until the later, terminal stages 3.Proceed with the recommended procedure, gamma knife + X-ray therapy. He may have up to nine pretty good months, then a rapid decline. Survival beyond a year is unlikely. Although survival up to two years is known, but rare.

[CTRL] What Memorial Day Means To Me (For Doc Barry, where ever he is)
-Caveat Lector- This story is dedicated to the memory of the late Doc Barry, Affectionately A.K.A., Tonto Goldberg (May he live in Eternal Bliss) - Dear Lord, Please Help Me Be The Person My Dogs Think I Am. - ON Memorial Day In 1981 . . . . . .I was sitting on a South West Air commuter plane that was boarding. . .the plane home to Chicago. Suddenly, I saw the most beautiful woman coming down the isle toward me. I figured she had to be a model or a movie star. Absolutely gorgeous. She walked slowly up the aisle, and finally sat IN THE SEAT NEXT TO ME! I tried to control myself, as this absolutely stunning woman smiled at me, crossed her legs, and made herself comfortable. I pretended to be interested in the magazine in my hands, but my heart was pounding and I was starting to sweat. She smiled at me when our eyes met as I glanced up from my magazine. I'll never forget what she said. "I suppose we'll soon be getting a bag of peanuts." I was elated that this lovely woman had broken the ice. SHE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ME! In a muffled tone I replied, "Yes, the flight attendant should be by with our in-flight meal-in-a-bag, and drinks as soon as the seat belt light goes off (and, MAN, did I need a few of the LATTER!)." She not only looked great, the scent of her, her perfume was intoxicating! I was desperate to start a conversation, but, I was so taken with her beauty --truly the magnitude of which, in my life, I had never before seen-- well, I couldn't even think straight, let alone engauge in intelligent dialogue. It was really rather pitiful. Here I was, a 24 year old man, totally tongue tide like a little kid. . .SAD, to put it mildly. Somehow, I finally got up the courage to blurt out, "Do you live in Chicago?" "No", she replied, "I'm heading there for 'The American Psychiatric Association's Annual Conference on Female Sexual Addiction Syndrome,' you know, formerly referred to as Nymphomania." I LITERALLY DROPPED MY MAGAZINE. Actually, it kinda flew outta my hands. Looking back, I think the plane bounced up violently due to turbulent air, or maybe I might have inadvertently thrown the stinking thing a little:( Either way, she laughed! "Are you kidding," I asked? She looked right at me smiling and said, "Sounds funny, huh? But, no, I'm quite serious. In fact, I'm Co-chairperson this year and I will even be presenting the results of my own research." She went right on, "You'd be amazed how serious and wide spread this disorder really is. We have experts and sufferers coming in from all over the world to speak and participate, it's really quite a highly respected conference. . . In fact, we're told it's one of the largest conferences to be held at the McCormick Convention Center in Chicago this year." Needless to say, I was not thinking straight at this particular juncture in time. Hell, at this point I was truly contemplating the possibility that I must have been dreaming, or that someone somehow slipped drugs into that airport bar drink I had a bit earlier. I remember even seriously entertaining a thought or two about somehow being unknowingly transported into some wonderful parallel universe, or something. . .maybe Twilight Zone Heaven? At any rate, I somehow managed a quick reply. Trying with all my might to be somewhat sober-looking, I asked, "What aspects of the disorder do your research efforts involve?" She came right back, "Well, actually, my presentation is called 'Nymphomania: Common False-hoods, Myths, and Misconceptions,' and I go into some of the most common misunderstandings that many medical professionals, sufferers, and lay persons, have regarding and relating to this horribly insidious disease." "Like," she said, "one interesting thing I found in my research. . . .you know how most ppl think that the most genitally endowed males are of the black race?" Oh, MAN! I could not comprehend that this was REALLY happening! She continued without hesitation, "Well, my research, as well as my personal experience regarding this, definitely reveals that this is an old wives tale, a myth." She went on, "In fact, Native American Indian men significantly stand out in this category." I mean, REALLY! Like what the hell was I supposed to reply to THAT?? Well, not knowing if she expected me to reply, or for that matter, how to reply if she did expect a response, I proceeded to just sit there, TOTALLY FROZEN, AND AT A TOTAL LOSS FOR WORDS, hearing my heart pounding IN FEAR, for what seemed then AND NOW like several minutes! And, she just calmly sat looking directly into my eyes, serious as a heart attack, apparently waiting for me to reply! Well, after what seemed an eternity, I did the only thing I could have without remaining frozen and stupid. I still find this part unbelievable to this day. . .in fact, I seem to have truly blocked this

[CTRL] The nazis discover the secret weapon of the british empire?
-Caveat Lector- Sunday Times May 30 1999 BRITAIN http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/ Nazis put Britain's Scouts on hit list by York Membery THE Gestapo intended to take no chances when the Nazis invaded Britain. It drew up plans to control or eliminate the most dangerous institutions underpinning the British Empire. Among its targets: the Boy Scouts, the YMCA, public schools and the Church Lads' Brigade. A 200-page handbook for the occupation of Britain, written by Adolf Hitler's secret police, reveals how Germany perceived its enemy in 1940. Titled Informationheft Grossbritannien, it is both chilling and comical. In the eyes of the Gestapo, the Scouting movement was a "disguised instrument of propaganda" set up to breed future defenders of the British Empire. Men who had spent time as boys learning to tie knots and sing round a campfire were also thought likely to have strong links with British intelligence. Public schools were depicted as bastions of blimpishness. "It is here the future English gentleman is educated," says the handbook. "The gentleman who has never thought about philosophical issues, who has hardly any knowledge of foreign culture, and who thinks of Germany as the embodiment of evil but accepts British power is inviolable." Some Britons might argue that this assessment was not inaccurate. To the Nazis, members of the Young Men's Christian Association were also suspect. The YMCA was "entirely in the hands of the freemasons" - and Britain was the "world centre of freemasonry", which was, in turn, in league with "Jewry". The Church of England was "an instrument of British imperial power" together with the Church Lads' Brigade and the Student Christian Movement which, the Gestapo noted, had "made sharp criticisms of Germany". Norman Stone, the historian and professor of international relations at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, said: "I am not altogether surprised by what the handbook suggests. But bizarrely for a nation that in many respects was remarkably similar to us, they completely misunderstood the British." The guide, to be published in Britain later this year by St Ermin's Press, was found in the archives of captured German documents held at the Hoover Institute of War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University in California. Linda Wheeler, a librarian at the institute, said last week it had lain in the vaults forgotten since the war. Robert Harris, author of Fatherland, the thriller set in Berlin after Germany had won the second world war, said: "As far as I'm aware, some of the handbook was classified because it contained sensitive information about Britain's intelligence service." The Gestapo captured two British intelligence agents in Holland and drew on their knowledge in compiling the handbook; information also came from an Australian, Dick Ellis, who had links with British intelligence. In some instances the book's detail is highly accurate - it maps every police phone kiosk in London and also lists BBC transmitters. The Gestapo, headed by Heinrich Himmler, put Professor Klaus Six, a leading counter-intelligence figure, in charge of compiling the handbook. Much of it concerns the Nazis' preoccupation with race: the Gestapo identified Jewish figures in business and claimed that "to a large extent the food industry is in Jewish hands". The addresses of prominent Jewish emigrés were listed and Jewish directors of the Bank of England were named. Who would have survived had the Nazis invaded? Among those who stood a good chance were Lord Rothermere and his acolytes at the Daily Mail, which flirted with fascism in the 1930s. While the handbook disparaged most of the British press for "decades of liberal management", the Nazis declared of Rothermere: "His friendly attitude towards Germany makes him an exception among the press tycoons." It was clear, however, that many people would have suffered and treasures would have been looted - as they were in Poland and other occupied countries. Our museums contained, according to the handbook, "certain documents and works of art from Germany history in which the Reich must have a special interest".

[CTRL] SA Elections- Old SA=New SA with colours reversed?
-Caveat Lector- Whites fear race backlash after South African poll By Christina Lamb in Johannesburg http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ ISSUE 1465 Sunday 30 May 1999 WHEN Sydney Mufamadi, South Africa's safety and security minister, moved into 13 Andrew Murray Street in one of Johannesburg's leafier suburbs, the white residents were pleased with their first black neighbour. "We thought, 'That's nice,' " said Denise Martin at number 16, believing that the minister's presence - plus a 24-hour police guard - would protect them from the city's crime wave. Two years later, 10 of the 30 houses in the street have been the target of armed robbers. Residents have protested publicly that the government is not doing enough to protect them in a land where a serious crime takes place every 17 seconds. Mr Mufamadi has responded by denouncing his complaining neighbours as "racist". The exchange underlines the fact that race still clouds every issue as South Africans head for the polls on Wednesday for their second fully democratic general election. Last week Mrs Martin and her husband, Don, became the street's latest victims. Guests arriving for dinner were robbed at gunpoint by three men as the electronic gate to the house opened. Mrs Martin, 53, realised what was happening when she heard the barking of her two boxer dogs, a breed chosen because some African men apparently believe that their bite causes impotence. "They don't bark like that at whites," she said. As she called a private security firm, the thieves fled with her guests' watches, wallets and mobile telephones. She said: "It's unbelievable that this can happen three doors away from the police minister. Does the new South Africa mean living behind barricades?" While crime has soared in the post-apartheid era, other changes are also apparent. At Johannesburg airport, where once the only black faces were porters and cleaners, smiling black customs officials have replaced stern-faced Afrikaners. The car park, which offers a window-repair service for those vehicles broken into, contains the expensive cars of numerous black executives. However, sitting on Mrs Martin's patio - drinking tea served by a black maid as black gardeners clip bushes and sprinkle the perfectly manicured lawn - is like stepping back into the old world of apartheid. Mrs Martin points out that there are now black pupils at her daughters' private school, and insists that things have changed for the country's 4.5 million whites. She said: "One realises how suppressed blacks were. The fact that they can do things they couldn't before gives one a sense of contentment. But white people haven't exactly been given their wealth on a platter - we've worked for it." Since the landmark 1994 election, average white income has fallen in real terms, while a small group of blacks has taken the opportunity of government incentives and become rich. However, the vast majority of South Africa's 31.5 million blacks remain poor. The only whites they come into contact with are those whose homes they clean. Even the sporting world remains segregated, with whites favouring cricket and rugby and blacks sticking to soccer. Last week the government set up a commission on netball, with the aim of making the sport more representative. Tim du Plessis, the associate editor of City Press, a black Sunday newspaper in Johannesburg, is an Afrikaner who for the first time in his life has a black boss. He insisted that he liked working in a mainly black office, but admitted that he has never invited any of them home or been to their houses. He said: "We have learnt to live with each other but not to like each other." With opinion polls predicting that the African National Congress will surpass the 62.5 per cent support it received in 1994 and win a two-thirds majority - enabling it to change the constitution - many whites now fear a new kind of racism, with them as the victims. The African National Congress leader Thabo Mbeki, 56, who is set to become Nelson Mandela's successor as president, remains something of an enigma. He is reputed to be autocratic. The dapper pipe-smoker has effectively run the country for the past two years and has been ruthless in dispatching rivals. While a streak of authoritarianism may well be necessary to tackle a crime rate that has doubled in four years, Mr Mbeki's talk of an "African renaissance" worries the white community. Posters all over Johannesburg give warning that "Mugabe has two-thirds". This suggests that Mr Mbeki might become as dictatorial and anti-white as President Robert Mugabe of neighbouring Zimbabwe. South Africa's parliament has already passed an employment law ordering companies with more than 50 workers to mirror the racial composition of the country - 77 per cent black, 11 per cent white, nine per cent coloured (mixed race) and three per cent Indian. John Kane-Berman, chief executive of the privately funded Institute of Race Relations, complained: "In 70

[CTRL] Fw: Bilderberg
-Original Message-From: omega [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Monday, May 31, 1999 8:13 AMSubject: Bilderberg John K. Whitley, an internationally respected researcher into the Bilderberg movement, has sent us what is reliably believed to be the Sintra agenda. The items are as credible as they can be at this late stage and, bearing in mind the secrecy of this group, it could have been already altered somewhat since the last contact was made with a Bilderberger insider. The entire agenda will be printed in the Toronto-based New World Order Intelligence Update later this week at www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley/bild98.htm The first point open for discussion in Sintra will be the review of the progress being made in the formation of an Asian bloc under the leadership of Japan. Free trade, a single currency and a political union similar to the European Union is planned for the region. The installation of an American Union is up for discussion, this being similar to the E.U, with a quick review of the scheduled splintering of Canada. This theme was originally scheduled for discussion in 1997, though the proposed break-up of Canada has been reportedly facilitated by the presence of a Canadian media magnate and alleged Bilderberger. Next on the agenda, and more contemporary, is the Kosovo war. The Bilderberg meeting will include discussions on the formation of a greater Albanian state following trusteeship of an independent Kosovo, the dismemberment of Yugoslavia (by the return of its northern province, which has 350,000 ethnic Hungarians, to Hungary) as part of a general re-drawing of borders in the region (calculated to continue regional instability and conflict), and the reconstruction worth billions of dollars of the destroyed regional infrastructure at western tax payers' expense. Another item is the ultimate replacement of NATO with a Western European Army, probably sooner than later due to the bad press NATO has endured over this current campaign. Efforts will be made to speed up the transformation of the W.E.U into a credible European military force initially relying on American back up. This will complete American military disengagement from Western Europe and leave US forces available for wider global policing, if necessary, with W.E.U. backup in return (first reported on the Bilderberg plan in the 1996 Bilderberg report). The key point here is that the Bilderbergers win no matter what happens to NATO - if it survives a little longer, they can use it as an emergency global police force; if it loses credibility over the Kosovo affair, then they just accelerate its replacement in Europe with the W.E.U. which they planned on doing anyway. Bilderbergers are said to be extremely concerned about the global impact of, and opportunities offered by, the Y2K problem (which the Bilderbergers believe to be far worse than many people have realised). The alleged presence of Bill Gates at the Sintra meeting may substantiate this claim. On the possible appointment of a Y2K Czar to oversee global passage through the Y2K Emergency (one name repeatedly coming up as the most likely candidate here is Mikhail Gorbachev, whose international standing would win him ready acceptance). Other key topics so far are said to be some oil items and financial affairs (IMF, U.S. economy and stock market, gold market manipulation). With the meeting now only a few days away, nothing has appeared in the Portuguese, European or international media, though the internet is 'alive' with speculation. One international press agency in Lisbon is reported to have said that it has been waiting for the international press to request stories or photos, yet so far not one single request has been received from anywhere. The wall of silence remains impregnable - almost! Stop Press: As The News went to press on Thursday we received two additional agenda items from John Whitley. 1. Preparation for a mid-East peace settlement (ie - the declaration of a Palestinian State and the final disposition of Jerusalem - quote: The results for Israel will not be good.) This explains the heavy emphasis on Israeli and international Jewish representation, plus the attendance of key representatives of Arab regimes which are implacably opposed to Israel - quote: The deal on Jerusalem has already been done, and the Golan issue is being ironed out right now. 2. Global taxation in support of the UN, as the emerging global governance centre, to begin with a world-wide tax on e-commerce (this may be why the CEO's of so many key computer companies, including Bill Gates, are in attendance) and to be followed by an individual direct tax collected on the UN's behalf by national governments. ***Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research (POB 20273,Ferndale, MI 48220), a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for

"Should Nato decide to carry out a ground invasion, its soldiers will go through real hell every step of the way," Col-Gen Pavkovic told the defence magazine `Vojska'. Despite two months of bombardment, Serbian troops were still a force to be reckoned with, having preserved men and equipment and a "favourable operational deployment of ground units" using "various tactical moves and actions". "We would soon stand face to face on the terrain which we know extremely well and which we have prepared well to defend. "The enemy's technological and technical advantage would start to diminish in the first days of any invasion." Col-Gen Pavkovic added, while the troops were ready for battle they were also prepared to implement any "peace and other initiatives" from Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

"Every B-52 bomber can carry more than 50 such bombs. These aircraft will be after you until they drive you out of Kosovo... and prevent you from committing atrocities. "If you want to survive and see your families again, you should abandon your units and firearms."

[CTRL] Goodbye Chatham Dockyard...

Watkins" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Goodbye Chatham Dockyard... To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's finally come about, 452 years after Chatham Royal Dockyard's earliest known date of establishment, the organisation that now runs it is dropping the name Chatham from the yard's name. Shake in your seaboots, Portsmouth; be warned San Francisco; hoist the storm warnings, Great Lakes The renaming was announced this week by the charity that runs the dockyard as a historical heritage site. The yard that built HMS VICTORY, the fighting TEMERAIRE, HMS AFRICA and a host of submarines is now called "World Naval Base, The Historic Dockyard" at Chatham in Kent. Admiral Sir Nicholas Hunt, chairman of Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, said the renaming was a key part of a bid to make the site appeal to a worldwide generation brought up on Disney World and other theme parks. "We won't lose our historical traditions and identity but we will be looking more to the leisure market" he said. When local Royal Naval Association president Arthur Brown questioned the decision to drop Chatham from the name, the Trust's chief executive, Joe Creighton, said "We realise there are people locally who will always call it Chatham Dockyard but this name change is not meant for them. It's meant for visitors from overseas, to attract their attention and show them how important Chatham is in British maritime history." And he added "I strongly believe that Medway has a collection of heritage sites that, outside London, nobody else can compete with. Places such as Canterbury and Winchester have not got the incredible range of attractions we have. A tourist can see the entire history in one visit here and World Naval Base will play a role in that." Sir Nicholas threw down the gauntlet to Portsmouth in particular. "We are happy to take our rivals on and we are confident we are better than they are. At the moment Portsmouth rates higher in public understanding but our aim is to overtake that." Ron Green, Editor of Kent Today which is sponsoring the three day Naval Days event at the end of May, said in an editorial in last night's newspaper where details of the renaming emerged "What would lead to the eventual death of the dockyard is complacency. There is no longer a bottomless pit of Government money to keep the Yard afloat. It has struggled to make a mark in a hugely competitive market. Its fascinating buuildings, rich history and fine setting are not enough. Unless the base can tempt paying visitors from around the world through it s gates it is doomed to be a decaying also-ran in the third division of historic attractions. Bold and imaginative ideas are being driven through to give the dockyard a vibrant new life. The plans are courageous, exciting and expensive. And possibly the last chance of survival." Yet in the same edition the latest multi-million pound plan to revive the stagnating Chatham shopping centre as the heart of a new City to be called Medway (providing the Queen approves the plan!) has been unveiled. Only weeks before Europe's largest shopping centre opens at Bluewater a few miles west of Medway, the latest blueprint has been unveiled by Steve Humphrey, assistant planning and transport officer of Medway. If anyone can make it happen, Steve will. However, for those who know the Medway towns, it is the latest hope in a line of proposals which have so far come to nought. They include a #50 million 'shopping revolution' for Chatham announced more than 10 years ago, an enclosed shopping centre linked with a modern tramway system (1990) and a #100 million shops plan unveiled in 1995. If I sound somewhat jaundiced forgive me. But I've heard it all before . So - back to WORLD NAVAL BASE. In a wicked send-up, Kent Today this week carried a full colour advert with other nations (US abstaining) allegedly welcoming the news from upstream of my the Medway foreshore . "We have fond memories of your dockyard, can't wait to return" - that from Dutch Naval HQ whose Admiral de Ruyter borrowed one or two English ships to the consternation of Charles II, Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn in 1665. "Congratulations to the Birthplace of our Navy"- purportedly from the Japanese Defence Force, apparently referring to the Gillingham sailor, William Adams, who built the first Western style ships for Eayasu in 1605. Not surprisingly the Stars and Stripes fly proudly - and provocatively - on the advert: "US Navy

What we need to find-out is the full context of Rathenau's remarks and other reports of his thoughts on this subject. So far, in 30 years of conspiracy research I have seen nothing to back-up Rathenau's statement or anything to clarify what the heck he was talking about At 07:41 AM 5/30/99 -0400, "Lloyd Miller" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here is the sole source of the "Committee of 300" nonsense put out by "Dr." John Coleman: Walther Rathenau, financial adviser to the Kaiser and agent of the Rothschild, in the Wienar Press, December 24, 1921, said: "Only 300 men, each of whom knows all the others, govern the fate of Europe. They select their successors from their own entourage.'" On June 24, 1922 he was assassinated by the Nazis. Your comment is somewhat ambiguous.

[CTRL] The definitive analysis: Why NATO is in Yugoslavia.
-Caveat Lector- Note the date this was written. WHY IS NATO IN YUGOSLAVIA? 1996 (long) Paper WHY IS NATO IN YUGOSLAVIA? by Sean Gervasi http://www.mclink.it/assoc/fondpasti/pres/gervbioe.htm [ Sean Gervasi was an US economist, political analyst, and activist. He taught at Cambridge, Oxford, the London School of Economics, the University of Paris, and Brooklyn College. He helped start the British anti-Vietnam war movement. He worked for a variety of United Nations committees, including the office of the Commissioner for Namibia (Nobel Peace Prize winner Sean MacBride), the Committee on Decolonization, and the Center against Apartheid, where he exposed super-secret dealings by U.S. arms merchants with the apartheid regime in South Africa. He worked in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Zambia, and with the liberation movements of Angola and South Africa. Forced out of the UN during the Reagan era, he began to investigate the destabilization of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. He has since 1992 been Research Professor at the Institute for International Politics and Economics in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, where he died in 1996, while working to expose U.S.-German-NATO plans to recolonize the region.] He had several articles published in Covert Action Q. === A Paper Delivered to the Conference on the Enlargement of NATO in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean Prague, Czech Republic, January 13-14, 1996 Introduction NATO in Yugoslavia The Eastward Expansion of NATO The Struggle for Mastery in the Balkans The New "Great Game" in the Caspian Sea The Next Stage: "Stabilizing" the East The Dangers of Extending NATO The Weakness of the Western Position FOOTNOTES Introduction The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has recently sent a large task force into Yugoslavia, ostensibly to enforce a settlement of the Bosnian war arrived at in Dayton, Ohio at the end of 1995. This task force is said to consist of some 60,000 men, equipped with tanks, armor and artillery. It is backed by formidable air and naval forces. In fact, if one takes account of all the support forces involved, including forces deployed in nearby countries, it is clear that at least two hundred thousand troops are involved. This figure has been confirmed by U. S. defense sources. [1] By any standards, the sending of a large Western military force into Central and Eastern Europe is a remarkable enterprise, even in the fluid situation created by the supposed end of the Cold War. The Balkan task force represents not only the first major NATO military operation, but a major operation staged "out of area", that is, outside the boundaries originally established for NATO military action. However, the sending of NATO troops into the Balkans is the result of enormous pressure for the general extension of NATO eastwards. If the Yugoslav enterprise is the first concrete step in the expansion of NATO, others are planned for the near future. Some Western powers want to bring the Visegrad countries into NATO as full members by the end of the century. There was resistance to the pressures for such extension among certain Western countries for some time. However, the recalcitrants have now been bludgeoned into accepting the alleged necessity of extending NATO. The question is: why are the Western powers pressing for the expansion of NATO? Why is NATO being renewed and extended when the "Soviet threat" has disappeared? There is clearly much more to it than we have so far been told. The enforcement of a precarious peace in Bosnia is only the immediate reason for sending NATO forces into the Balkans. There are deeper reasons for the dispatch of NATO forces to the Balkans, and especially for the extension of NATO to Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary in the relatively near future. These have to do with an emerging strategy for securing the resources of the Caspian Sea region and for "stabilizing" the countries of Eastern Europe -- ultimately for "stabilizing" Russia and the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. This is, to put it mildly, an extremely ambitious and potentially selfcontradictory policy. And it is important to pose some basic questions about the reasons being given for pursuing it. For the idea of "stabilizing" the countries which formerly constituted the Socialist bloc in Europe does not simply mean ensuring political stability there, ensuring that the regimes which replaced Socialism remain in place. It also means ensuring that economic and social conditions remain unchanged. And, since the so-called transition to democracy in the countries affected has in fact led to an incipient deindustrialization and a collapse of living standards

George Wallace.anyone that did not know he was going to be shot.this is how the CIA operates, from the National Enquirer to your local press.they prepare for the killl. That is how I knew they were going to shooot Ronald Reagan, and even poor old Larry Flynt who was in enough deep water already... My old friend Sybil Leek warned Reagan = but at high noon, leaving the Temple of Labor, he was gunned down in the open sight of others, by a programmed killer Remember Arthur Bremer's diary - it began "Call Me Ishmael" - The kids at Littletonthey too had "historic" diaries This masonic element when involved with police and the like, who have strong connections to the news mediais a very dangerous elementthe connection between literature and the police, is always dangerous. That is, when the press is involved by word, the police involved by bullets. colleen Ah E Mael - the days of wine and roses for me..at the time I had not much use for Wallace, but I knew the assassins were a few steps ahead of himI wrote to him..I had the great opportunity to write Jon Christensen and Bill Turner in a letter to "get off their asses and do something - they were going to shoot George Wallace" And followed to a Democrat dance, while dancing with an old friend, suddenly I was grabbed by the most obnoxious, handsome Columbus Detective, I have ever seen much to the dismay of my partnerand the finky police that night were all wearing shiney glassesin th evening. Leaving the scene, I went out to the bar which was owned by my old friend and boss, who had a son whose best friend was in prison, unknown to me, in the same cell with James Riddle Hoffaa Doctor, who also had a Mafia hit man by the name of Ralph DeLeo living on his farm.and to add insult to injury, rather than following around people like that, they were following me about.all because of, my book. These lovely, charming Officers of the Law, were really cuteand quoted at length without a doubt, from the Song of Solomonto which I said "They are going to shoot George Wallace" - and in return, I was told my Columbus/ best, Detective Decker - that they were going to send a Black Rose, after me. Well - two days or so later, the assassins did shoot Geoge Wallaceand these officers, of the great city of Columbustheir response to my actions, and at the time I worked for the Mayor of the City, was to send out two black policemen (in an all white restaurant owned by a Godfather) to harass me.while they sent out a rather goodlooking Irish cop, to pay a waitress to mickey finn a coke at high noonwhere my daughter finished up the last drink, while her son assisted his mothr out of the restaurant after drinking their poison. Now my doctor, said it was Chloral Hydrate; however, I thought it was LSD; will never know for sure, for shortly therefter the waitress who laced the drink - was told in the ice - was found murderedd, and lo and behold upon her preson, was the calling card of an attorney for whom I later worked.in his office it is where I sat, when a small propane gas tank which was not the property of the attorney, blew up - raising me and my desk ten feet.and well, I did make page 1 B that day in Aprilwouldn't you now, it would be April.and that was the day my boss thn, the attorney, realized that in deed, I had been sitting on a powder keg. I made him a believer. So you see, when you mention George Wallace, I have fond recollections of happier days, when I joyfully pursued the assassins, not knowing some of them had connections right in my own back yard. Well, never trust friend, but respect your enemiesfor it will be your friends who will do you in , every time. As for the Columbus Police - well, I under stand the one who caused the drug to be put in a coke at high noon, bought a bar - obviously a front man for someone with a less than perfect record; once, years laater, he called me dead drunk at midnight.and said "doyou now who this is.do you now I am on drugs"..and I said simply, Yes, you sob.I know who you are and what you are, and this call is recorded...which it wasand he hung up. Since that day however, I have never eaten in a public restaurant as I did that date - and my house was broken into twice; the local rapist broke into my home, but my huge mean gentle dog and older son chased him out.along with a few other items.

[CTRL] Follow Up the Cox Report
-Caveat Lector- May 27, 1999 ESSAY / By WILLIAM SAFIRE Follow Up the Cox Report Related Articles Op-Ed Columns Archive Forum Join a Discussion on William Safire's Columns Picture: In the CNN parking lot the other night, after a Larry King telecast about the hemorrhage of our secrets to China, Representative Chris Cox told the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, Richard Shelby: "We're out of business. Now it's up to you." Here are a few questions for investigators in both houses of Congress to pose: To Samuel Berger, the Hogan Hartson trade lobbyist turned national security adviser: Why can't Congress see your memo to President Clinton summarizing the devastating Cox report on espionage when it was submitted for security clearance in January? With the report now public, no claim of secrecy can properly be made. Clinton pretended two months ago to have been uninformed of wholesale espionage. Did Berger's January cover memo truly reflect the Cox report's revelations, or did it lull the President into a false sense of national security? To Bill Richardson, Energy Secretary since September 1998: You were briefed on espionage suspicions in November, and received the Cox report in January. Did you never have occasion to mention its serious implications on China policy to the President? You knew Secretary of State Albright was going to China in February; why did you withhold it from her? Did the White House suggest she be kept ignorant, or was it your own idea? To F.B.I. Director Louis Freeh: Attorney General Janet Reno says "I was not apprised of the details of the case at the time the decision was made" to reject wiretap surveillance of Wen Ho Lee at Los Alamos. Didn't you think this was important enough to take to the top? She also says your 1997 request "did not contain a request to search any computer." If that is true, why not? To the Senate Democratic leader, Tom Daschle: The bipartisan Cox report charges the White House with failing to inform Congress, but you say "Republican chairs of the Congress were warned about this as early as 1996 and also chose to do nothing." Did you read those "warnings" before accusing Senator Arlen Specter and Representative Porter Goss of failing in their intelligence oversight duties? Can the public now see if those staff briefings were complete? To Dan Burton, chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee: With Reno Justice allowing all Clinton's illegal Asian fund-raisers to cop a plea and walk, you've subpoenaed Charlie Trie for June 10 and John Huang for June 17. Will you allow the ranking Democrat, Henry Waxman, to turn hearings into a partisan circus, or will you depose Trie and Huang extensively beforehand to discover links to Bruce Lindsey, the D.N.C.'s Don Fowler and Hillary's Harold Ickes? To George Tenet, Director of Central Intelligence: You reported to Cox that information on China's theft of our W-88 nuclear warhead design came from a "walk-in" planted by Chinese intelligence. That's counterintuitive counterintelligence; does nobody in C.I.A. dispute the "dangle" theory? Where is he now, and is he (or she) singing? To Richard Shelby and Bob Kerrey of Senate Intelligence: The Cox report ran 900 pages, but nearly 400 pages were cut out by the Clinton sanitizers. Was all of this really for security reasons, or do many redactions cover C.I.A., F.B.I. and White House embarrassments? To Senator Robert Torricelli, Democrat of New Jersey: You told CBS's Bob Schieffer that Clinton should talk to Reno about "her ability to perform her duties."

The Group accomplishes this by adhering to basic business principles of providing superior products and services, within the economic range of clients. However, because of the unique and somewhat unknown character of the offshore industry, The Barrington Group assumes the additional responsibility of educating clients regarding the offshore process. The great body of misinformation circulating about offshore detracts from its image and deters individuals who might otherwise benefit from an offshore presence. The Barrington Group therefore devotes itself to defining precisely what an offshore structure can mean for a prospect and his financial security. Offshore should not be misconstrued as something mysterious, nor however, should it be considered a financial step which can be taken with a do-it-yourself kit. The mystery has functioned to exclude qualified individuals, while increased sales of mail order offshore trusts have cost consumers more than legitimate offshore structures, without providing real protection. The Barrington Group assumes the responsibility of taking away the mystique, which has long surrounded offshore, without creating the erroneous impression that a structure can be formed without professional assistance. Sensitive to the discomfort which results from lack of understanding, The Barrington Group is committed to emphasizing education as it provides clients with superior service, confidentiality and availability. Individuals seeking offshore protection have accumulated wealth by taking careful, controlled risks. These prospects will exercise the same caution in making the transition to offshore, and will not implement a plan before achieving a substantial understanding of the process. With an appreciation for conservative personal finance, The Barrington Group is determined to make a clients transition offshore clear and understandable. The Barrington Group provides the requisite education through its website, literature, written reports and consultations. With offices on the twenty-third floor of Plaza Credicorp Bank in downtown Panama City, Panama, The Barrington Group is located at the very heart of Latin Americas banking center. The Barrington Group has established relationships with major financial institutions around the world, which facilitate customer investment and banking transactions. The Barrington Groups computer systems, in addition to being 2000 compliant, are the most advanced on the market so clients are offered the greatest possible efficiency. The Barrington Group's accounting systems are supplemented by services from external auditors, Deloitte Touche. The Barrington Group feels the responsibility to work with clients in structuring both personal estates and in making key business decisions. Principals of The Barrington Group consider every client matter with additional support services provided by professionals in other jurisdictions. Clients receive senior level assistance, and their circumstances are considered in light of the most recent legislative changes and court decisions. If you have any

If you don't like it, go live in a cave. The more complex the society, the more government control we need. by Leonard Reed Argued a college president at a seminar: "Your free market, private property, limited government theories were all right under the simple conditions of a century or more ago, but surely they are unworkable in today's complex economy. The more complex the society, the greater is the need for governmental control; that seems axiomatic." It is important to expose this oft-heard, plausible, and influential fallacy because it leads directly and logically to socialistic planning. This is how a member of the seminar team answered the college president: "Let us take the simplest possible situation -- just you and I. Next, let us assume that I am as wise as any president of the United States who has held office during your lifetime. With these qualifications in mind, do you honestly think I would be competent to coercively control what you shall invent, discover, or create, what the hours of your labor shall be, what wage you shall receive, what and with whom you shall associate and exchange? Is not my incompetence demonstrably apparent in this simplest of all societies? "Now, let us shift from the simple situation to a more complex society -- to all the people in this room. What would you think of my competence to coercively control their creative actions? Or, let us contemplate a really complex situation -- the 255 million people of this nation. If I were to suggest that I should take over the management of their lives and their billions of exchanges, you would think me the victim of hallucinations. Is it not obvious that the more complex an economy, the more certainly will governmental control of productive effort exert a retarding influence? Obviously, the more complex our economy, the more we should rely on the miraculous, self-adapting processes of men acting freely. No mind of man nor any combination of minds can even envision, let alone intelligently control, the countless human energy exchanges in a simple society, to say nothing of a complex one." It is unlikely that the college president will raise that question again. While exposing fallacies can be likened to beating out brush fires endlessly, the exercise is nonetheless self-improving as well as useful -- in the sense that rear guard actions are useful. Further, one's ability to expose fallacies -- a negative tactic -- appears to be a necessary preface to accenting the positive influentially. Unless a person can demonstrate competence at exploding socialistic error, he is not likely to gain wide audiences for his views about the wonders wrought by men who are free.

Editor Chief: Emile Zola
Moral Relativism: The Phantom Menace
a movie review by Lauren Bain
I attended the Houston opening of Star Wars on my 25th birthday. The
Jedis were good and Darth Vader was bad, and the Force was everywhere.
Two weeks shy of my 48th birthday, I attended Episode I: The Phantom
Menace at a Seattle theater that would be at home on Endor. The Jedis
are getting surly, Darth Vader is nine and irresistibly winsome, and the
Force is too much with us.
George Lucas is undeniably a cinematic genius of sweeping creativity and
impact. What a shame he gladhands with altruism and moral relativism. I
cannot help but compare Star Wars with Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. The
Trekkers who roamed the known universe were true heroes: They saved
themselves, they defended free trade and the rule of law, and they told
gangbangers to get the hell out of the way. Lucas's champions run around
in medieval robes, besmirch reason in favor of instinct, and commune
with the Forcethough they seem not to know it very well, for they miss
the rather enormous reality of the existence of the Siths, their evil
counterparts who sport very Gothic drag, wield double-ended light
sabers, vault nuclear reactors, and generally are a real nuisance to the
freedom-loving universe.
So much for trusting your feelings, Luke.
What a dismal sense of life we see in Lucas's galaxy: humans are the
slaves of corrupt gambling lords, led by Jobba the Hutt, who looks like
a cross between Humpty Dumpty and a blowfish, and who would just as soon
bite off your head and spit it out at a gong as look at you.
Fetching little Anakin Skywalker is a slave who lives with his mom (who
really can't explain his paternity, but the Force has its ways, and it
evidently did with her) on the bleak planet Tatooine, that would make
Winslow, Arizona look like Hollywood on New Year's Eve. He's a clever
lad with big blue eyes, long blond bangs, and a doom-filled destiny.
Down come a couple of Jedi knights needing a few space ship parts, along
with a wise and beautiful 14-year-old democratically elected queen
cleverly disguised as her handmaiden. She effects this disguise by not
putting on her Elizabeth I white pancake makeup and leaving her
hairnormally done up to resemble Roman plumbingdown. The Jedi give
little Anakin a blood test and determine not only that he is one of
them, but a master of masters. Anakin wins his freedom in a pod race,
and goes off to Jedi training camp with his new friends. Mom has to stay
home and be a slave ("My future is here"), but Anakin vows to return and
free her. If he can. He thinks. Mom commends him for "giving all to
those who had none." Shmi Skywalker gives all she has, tooAnakinand
now has nothing but a future of slavery to endure alone among her
fish-faced masters. Ugh.
Anakin is his mother's son, a true altruist. And to his credit, Lucas
understands that the flip side of altruism is evil tyranny. Anakin, of
course, grows up to be Darth Vader, dark lord of the Siths. He murders,
tortures, plunders, blows up other people's planets, and systematically
destroys most of his once-fellow Jedi. But he does all this only because
he's caught in the grip of the dark side of the Force, not because he's
evil.
That's the trouble. Lucas refuses to make Darth Vader evil. In the final
episode, Darth Vader pitches the true evil genius, the Emperor of the
Terribly Haggard Eyes, down the reactor and saves his own son, whom he
has sought to destroy for at least three episodes. The Lord of Darkness
is redeemed. He dies without his helmet on in the middle of a touching
father-and-son reunion, but his holographic projection is nonetheless
welcome at his children's victory party where they celebrate the
restoration of freedom, peace, and prosperity in the galaxy. I can tell
you that if my Dad blew up my home planet and killed all the best people
in the galaxy and made a general evil nuisance of himself, he would not
be invited to my
party. But moral relativism demands so much more largesse. It demands
forgiveness of evilabnegation of the very concept of evil. Lucas
expects us to get off Darth Vader's case. Little Anakin, after all, was
such a sweetie, and the wise and beautiful 14-year-old democratically
elected queen had a definite thing for him. He was good by nature. Never
mind his subsequent actions.
Perhaps, Virginia, there are Siths out there. But they are not bogeys
with horns and tattoos and double-ended light sabers. They are rotten
philosophy: they are, specifically, moral relativism. Good fantasy does
not attempt to obscure that reality, and very sadly, The Phantom Menace
does.

That is clear. It does not require an interpretation of the Constitution. It is the War Powers Act of 1973."] -- Rep. Tom Campbell (R-Calif.) ["The representatives of the American people voted against this war in the Balkans... Yet the war continues unauthorized, without the consent of the governed."] -- Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) According to the White House, the United States is not technically at "war." Excuse me? This is Bill Clinton we're talking about. People are actually relying on a definition of "war" from a man who claimed that what he and Monica had wasn't "sex." This [is] a war, as the rest of the world is acutely aware. And as such, this war is now quite plainly illegal under U.S. law, specifically the War Powers Act. As this space pointed out last week, Article I of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to decide when and if the nation should go to war. As a practical matter, the White House has always had some leeway to respond to short-term crises, but the War Powers Act mandates clearly that the White House must notify Congress of military action within 48 hours, and lacking a resolution of support from Congress, must withdraw the U.S. military from hostilities withing 60 days thereafter. According to U.S. federal law, Bill Clinton's war had to end by May 25th. (I've posted the text of the War Powers Act and Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution at http://www.bobharris.com so you can read them for yourself.) The White House has so far ignored the law, claiming it's unconstitutional. Too bad they apparently haven't [read] the Constitution. The Supreme Court is the only body that can rule on whether the War Powers Act is constitutional, and until they say otherwise, it remains federal law, which Clinton has sworn under oath to uphold. Which is why on May 26th, a bipartisan group of 26 members of Congress, led by Representatives Campbell and Kucinich, filed a motion in U.S. District Court to end the U.S. role in the bombing of Yugoslavia. How that motion is adjudicated just might set an enormous precedent -- not just over the practical authority to declare war, but the ability even to compel the White House to obey the law. This is a legitimate constitutional crisis. Not that most reporters seem to care. The [Washington Post] has mentioned the subject exactly 3 times: twice in short items on pages A25 and A28 on the day the deadline passed, and then yesterday in a TV listing in section C. And as Fairness Accuracy In Reporting has pointed out, a search of the [New York Times] database reveals that the War Powers Act has not yet been mentioned even once. ___ Then again, a lot of things aren't getting reported in the United States. I'm writing this at about 3:45 pm PST on Sunday, May 30. European news agencies have reported all of the following just in the last 24 hours: Several civilians have been killed and at least 40 wounded in the town of Krusevac; early reports state that bombs intended for a bridge over the Morava river apparently exploded near a street market full of people celebrating a local religious holiday. At this moment, CNN is running an interview with a stock analyst discussing the price of banking shares. Two vehicles carrying foreign correspondents from Italy, Portugal, and England have been heavily damaged by a NATO missile in Rekane. Two reporters are wounded. One person has been killed. Fox News is airing a report on the decline in the Euro relative to the dollar. One civilian has been killed, over 30 have been wounded, and at least 130 homes have been damaged or destroyed in the villages of Suvi Do and Pavlovci. Also, seven more bodies have been found in the rubble at the Estok prison, raising the casualty total there to 93 dead and over 200 wounded. Meanwhile, MSNBC is hyping a special program tonight, on which Tom Brokaw will hype his new book. Fox News is now discussing the renovation of the Chelsea hotel in New York. Headline News is running a feature on summer travel bargains. And so it goes. U.S. media widely reported that the Serbian military was responsible for 2000 deaths in Kosovo prior to the bombings.

Re: [CTRL] Interview W/Phillips E. Johnson/Book review
-Caveat Lector- I am perplexed that so many educated people are so reluctant to subscribe to any sort of religious explanation of the origin of life. Rather they blandly assume that life began through a random series of coincidences. The contemplation of the abstruse complexities of the human organism lends itself poorly to the theory that, at a primordial instant in time, a congenial cluster of amino acids and other organic chemicals concatenated into a living and self-replicating creature, which by chance eventuated into a complex and intelligent life form. I marvel at such faith! Surely, as an unbiased observer, a scientist may begin to suspect the presence of a supreme and existential Intelligence behind it all, especially after attempting to unravel the labyrinthine interstices of the human genome. On the other hand, while it does seem absurd to imagine that a god created the universe in seven earth days, could it not have been a Master Celestial Biologist who did the job over billions of years, through the calculated overcontrol of evolution? Science may one day assemble all of the chemical ingredients of protoplasm, but they shall never find a way to breathe the spark of life into dead organic matter. That, my friends, is the domain of the Gods! Is it not more reasonable to entertain the probability that evolution was overcontrolled by the gods to produce sudden mutations via genetic engineering? This would better explain the sudden appearance of new species in the fossil record. One here might postulate that extraterrestrials took a hand in creation. But they would not have the means or the vast knowledge of unfamiliar DNA aggregations to breath the breath of life into an entirely new organism without making bad mistakes, which would be shown in the fossil record. To me, it is more reasonable to believe in the divine overcontrolling hand in evolution. Only the original Creator would possess the foreknowledge and the exquisite understanding of process to enable the creation of new species. Byron T. Weeks, MD ~~~ Gavin Phillips wrote: -Caveat Lector- http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rossuk/Johnson.htm Darwinists Squirm Under Spotlight Interview with Phillip E. Johnson This article is reprinted from an interview with Citizen Magazine, January 1992. Phillip Johnson has been a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley for more than 20 years. As an academic lawyer, one of Johnson's specialties is "analyzing the logic of arguments and identifying the assumptions that lie behind those arguments." A few years ago he began to suspect that Darwinism, far from being an objective fact, was little more than a philosophical position dressed up as science--and poor science at that. Wanting to see whether his initial impression was correct, Johnson decided to take a closer look at the arguments, evidence and assumptions underlying contemporary Darwinism. The result of his investigation is Darwin on Trial, a controversial new book that challenges not only Darwinism but the philosophical mindset that sustains it. When did you first become aware that Darwinism was in trouble as a scientific theory? I had been vaguely aware that there were problems, but I'd never had any intention of taking up the subject seriously or in detail until the 1987-88 academic year, when I was a visiting professor in London. Every day on the way to my office I happened to go by a large bookstore devoted to science. I picked up one book after another and became increasingly fascinated with the obvious difficulties in the Darwinist case--difficulties that were being evaded by tricky rhetoric and emphatic repetition. I then began delving into the professional literature, especially in scientific journals such as Nature and Science. At every step, what I found was a failure of the evidence to be in accord with the theory. What was it that initially made you suspect that Darwinism was more philosophy than hard science? It was the way my scientific colleagues responded when I asked the hard questions. Instead of taking the intellectual questions seriously and responding to them, they would answer with all sorts of evasions and vague language, making it impossible to discuss the real objections to Darwinism. This is the way people talk when they're trying very hard not to understand something. Another tip-off was the sharp contrast I noticed between the extremely dogmatic tone that Darwinists use when addressing the general public and the occasional frank acknowledgments, in scientific circles, of serious problems with the theory. For example, I would read Stephen Jay Gould telling the scientific world that Darwinism was effectively dead as a theory. And then in the popular literature, I would read Gould and other scientific writers saying that Darwinism was fundamentallyhealthy, and that scientists had the remaining problems well under
[CTRL] Socialism: the Forbidden Ideology
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 22 /A - Laissez Faire City Times May 31, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 22 Editor Chief: Emile Zola Socialism: the Forbidden Ideology by Robert L. Kocher More than thirty years ago I read a book stating, "Socialism is the myth that two people can live off each other indefinitely without either of them doing any work." While that definition may get a laugh from those already predisposed to agree with any criticism of socialism, and does, in fact, contain a measure of truth, it's not the most incisive or comprehensive analysis in the world. Socialismmake that contemporary liberalismhas developed far beyond that in the last three decades. Perhaps it is necessary to put economics into a historical perspective at this point. There was a period in which much of the known world lived under a feudalism which made any individual economic progress impossible for all but those born into nobility or position. Among the potential remedies necessary to correct the condition or its vestiges, socialism was one simplistic and direct answer. Crudely implemented, it means overthrowing the existing order and distributing their possessions among the angry mob. That could be interpreted as immediate socialism. In a more refined implementation, the method is to put the process to a vote which accomplishes the same result in a more pretentious fashion. The intellectual underwriting is less than philosophically comprehensive, and does not guarantee human rights or economic opportunity. People assuming the right to take from other people never guarantees other rights. Socialism is a better vehicle for anger than it is a vehicle for economic advancement or individual rights. It results in an angry triumphant party which dies out when the stores in the confiscated wine cellar are completely consumed. Contrary to socialist belief, partying and human rights are not the same. The great depression of the thirties produced immense distrust of the free enterprise system, with consideration of substitution of socialism as a remedy. People were desperate to end the economic catastrophe. There are certain artificialities in the economic and banking system that were poorly understood at the time and were devastating. There are Nobel prizes awarded periodically in economics. The awarding of those prizes for advancement in the study of economics signifies that an absence of that advancement existed seventy-five years ago. Socialism has partly been a historical act of economic desperation. But that has not been so in recent times. The explosive expansion of the radical political left in this country, as the so-called "New Left," in the sixties was an entirely different phenomenon. Economic opportunity in this country had expanded enormously. Educational levels had advanced about four years in several decades. Five times as many people were in college and on their way to professional careers as there had been a few years earlier. Unemployment or under-employment was low. The economic problems for which socialism was conjectured as being a necessary remedy were nonexistent, or becoming nearly nonexistent. By the 1950's the American economic condition was the greatest in world history. The rate of economic opportunity expansion in the country was far beyond anything that had ever been seen, and was certainly beyond anything taking place in the socialist world. The issues of socialism were not economic opportunity. In a psychotic contradiction, the alternative systems the new left endorsed never in practice produced economic levels remotely approaching the levels being attained at median levels in this country. The alternative political systems being romanticized never approached the degree of freedom existent in this country which the left complained about as insufficient or repressive. The most egregious failures in socialist and communist societies were excused while the most minor flaws in free enterprise were obsessively and desperately seized upon by the left as reason to implement systems that were far more flawed. That degree of contradiction and distortion is indicative of underlying motivated commitment to another primary agenda. Sophomoric Economics Then why liberalism/socialismand what is its theology? If economic progress had occurred and economic promise had been expanding at a high rate, what was the failure to be addressed by liberalism? The answer was a new kind of failure. That failure was the failure of reality to conform to the immature and unrealistic fantasies, and the childlike demands, in a too-soft generation. There was a time when the purpose of a successful economic system was to provide economic opportunity and food on the table. In recent years the demand has become for an

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 22 /A - Laissez Faire City Times May 31, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 22 Editor Chief: Emile Zola Presumed Innocent No Longer by Peter Topolewski Criticizing the government, particularly about taxes and wasteful spending, is an age-old pastime in western society. It is enjoyable, often justified, and can be practiced by all range of people, from simpletons to geniuses. More importantly, citizens should consider criticizing the government necessary for the preservation of both society and individual liberty. But until the people can admit their complicity in government wrongdoing, all criticism is nothing but gripe to pass the time. Until citizens admit that they have through laziness, ignorance, complacency, bribery and et cetera granted power to the government, they will not admit that they can take that power away, and they will not admit that the power to remedy what grieves them lies within their own hands. The obstacles hindering most of us from making such admissions are many. In these days when governments educate our children and provide them values, regulate speech and set wages, mandate hiring practices, tell us what food to eat, and employ millions, regular citizens find it difficult to recognize that they have given the government responsibility and authority to do all this, and much more. Add to this the fact that in the name of self-preservation the government does not want us to know that we have granted them their power. Everyday they encourage us to forget by exchanging goods from their horn of plenty for our lazy silence while they extend their domain. And as the government bestows more and more services upon its citizens, we are disinclined all the more to ever want that power and responsibility back. All of this I thought I more or less got off my chest over the last few issues of Laissez Faire Times. But only last week did I realize not only how fundamentally people have lost sight of their own responsibility for the condition and operation of their societies, but how negligent they have become in their relationship with their governments. I found the source of my realization in an editorial in the Vancouver Sun, supposedly the citys right-wing newspaper. At issue was the fact that the federal government in Ottawa every year collects $5 billion in motor fuel taxes for the purpose of constructing and maintaining roads, and yet spends only $300 million (or 6 percent) of that on the national highway system. The rest they shove into general revenue to pay for all other manner of programs. This pathetic practice has gone on for years, and so it comes as no surprise that a 1997 Transport Association of Canada report estimates the national highway system requires $17.4 billion worth of work to make it more than a series of goat trails. In order to come up with the money required to upgrade the highways the federal Transportation Minister David Colinette is toying with the idea of imposing highway tolls. Now this whole scenario is ridiculous, and the governments handling of these funds is in my opinion criminal. The more fundamental problem, however, lay in the editorial itself. The Vancouver Sun closed its critique of the government by blaming the wretched shape of the highway system and its source of funding on "Ottawas priorities". Exactly here, in the midst of educating the public of problems affecting every Canadian, the newspaper can blame only the ever-present and durable "Ottawa". When newspapers and the public can presume that Ottawa operates in complete isolation, and plucks its "priorities" out of thin air, we see how drastically disengaged from their sense of responsibility citizens have become. One way, one of the main ways, governments maintains or expands its power is by appeasing those who have granted it to them and who can therefore grasp it back from them. And so the reason Ottawa actually spends only 6 percent of the money it raises for roads on roads is because the public has a long list of things they want, and roads are one of the least glamorous items on the list. That is, the people not Ottawa have other priorities. The Complicity of the Governed The blame, then, belongs to both government and the governed. And blame is the right word, because although the fuel tax revenue is being spent in a way that in some form reflects the publics priorities, no one is happy. People still complain about taxes that are way too high, and (although lost on many) the deteriorating highway system is undeniably a major cause of inefficiency and Canadas falling productivity. And so the outrageous amount of fuel tax and its misuse again points to the problem underlying the view of government as the solution to all woes: the cost is
[CTRL] Fwd: The Michael Aquino Files To Be Taken Down In One Week
Please send as far and wide as possible. Thanks, Robert Sterling Editor, The Konformist http://www.konformist.com http://www.konformist.com/mkkafe/aquino/aquino.htm The Michael Aquino Files will be taken down from The Konformist website on June 6, 1999. This will give researchers interested in downloading the material enough time to do so, if they wish. For more background information, please visit: http://www.konformist.com/mkkafe/aquino/aquino.htm The information was placed on the site after I worked a full weekend to format it, and despite the fact that I was advised by many people not to do it, as I would be opening myself up to threats of lawsuits from Dr. Aquino. Surprisingly, Dr. Aquino has been cordial to me during this whole endeavor, and is not the reason it is being removed, as many may suspect. The actual reason it is being removed is because Curio Jones has unfairly been criticized by others for being associated with The Konformist, which supposedly is both "pornographic" and "vulgar" (at least the second accusation is true.) Curio Jones never has endorsed anything in The Konformist, publicly or privately, nor would I ever ask her to do so. The reason her work was included in The Konformist was to ensure that her work would not be removed from the internet. Unfortunately, her continued work in the field of ritual abuse may be hindered if her information remains on The Konformist. I included the information on my site to help her, not to hurt her, and when she explained to me her dilemna, I told her that if I were her, I would request that it be taken down, which I am respectfully doing. I have no anger towards Ms. Jones, and only wish her the best in her work. If she ever needs the information back up on my site, I will be happy to include it. In any case, she is a brave woman, and I don't think it is fair for her to have to defend my work. That is my battle, not hers. I must admit, however, that I am not pleased at the reasons behind me having to pull this. I consider it ungrateful of critics to attack The Konformist for trying to publicize their cause. There are few things I dislike more than a lack of gratitude, and these same critics have no reason to whine in the future as they wonder why more media outlets don't present their evidence. Further, I am left to wonder if anyone else would be interested in presenting the Aquino files in the future, knowing full well they will be threatened not only to be sued but to be pissed on by those they are defending. One of the reasons I did this in the first place is because I know nobody else would have the spine to do it: good luck in the future. Finally, I think some will look at the fact that Mr. Aquino was more polite to me during this episode than people in the ritual abuse community, and draw some conclusions from this. As far as I'm concerned, the critics have no one to blame but themselves for this.

Eleven Killed, 40 Wounded in Another NATO Bridge "Kill" BELGRADE, May 30 - Add at least 11 more counts of murder, and 40 counts of attempted murder causing bodily harm, to the growing list of NATO's war crimes, after today's bombing of yet another bridge. Plus one damaged hotel, one church and one city hall. This time, all these NATO "military targets" were in Varvarin, a small town 110km (65 miles) south of Belgrade. Three missiles struck the bridge while civilian traffic was flowing across it. More deaths are feared as a number of vehicles fell from the bridge into the swollen Velika Morava river. Ironically, the town's name - Varvarin - means Barbarian in Serbian. Now, the town's residents can see that real barbarians live high up in the sky. And may consider renaming their town after the war - "Barbarians' Target." Meanwhile, back in Brussels, the NATO leaders rejoiced in another "successful" day at the office, having launched a record 1,000+ sorties, along with over 300 strike sorties, in that 24 hour-period. A NATO spokesman confirmed the Varvarin bridge "kill," calling it a legitimate military target. - 2. Crossing the Bridges: Only Under the Sign of Cross? BELGRADE, May 30 - Crossing a bridge in Serbia these days is a crap shoot with your own life, as the above Varvarin story illustrated. But not all casualties are directly attributable to NATO. One person was killed and another badly injured in a traffic accident on Belgrade's Gazela bridge last night (May 30). Fearing possible bombs, a driver reportedly sped up, lost control of his vehicle, and crashed through the fence and into the river below. When this writer visited Serbia in late April, he had a similar experience, though with a happier ending. As you can see... by being able to read about it. One of the three highway bridges near Novi Sad was still standing at the time. As we approached it after a brief stopover in downtown Novi Sad, the driver crossed himself, and asked everyone in the van to say a prayer. Then he gunned the vehicle across the bridge. Half way across Europe's longest waterway, his eyes glued on the roadway ahead, "De Gaulle," the nickname which the driver, a tall wiry Serb, earned for having lived a few years in Paris, motioned to the right. "This is where the missile hit," he said. Indeed, the damage was extensive and obvious, though the bridge was still standing. Back then. It no longer is. A couple of weeks later, NATO came back and finished the job. No wonder many taxi drivers in Belgrade have crosses hanging under their rear view mirrors, having to cross the bridges across the rivers Sava and Danube numerous times every day. Only under the crosses, of course. Incidentally, "DeGaulle" almost caused an accident a few days later right at the Kneza Milosa exit off the Gazela bridge in downtown Belgrade. As this writer was walking along Kneza Milosa street to take pictures of the bombed-out Interior Ministry buildings (see the photos at our Web site - http://www.truthinmedia.org/Kosovo/photos-rsd.html), a

[CTRL] Fwd: BONES LIST (ABOUT 97% ACCURATE)
THE MEMBERSHIP OF YALE'S SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY By Eric Samuelson, J.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am presently researching a biography on David Rockefeller. An ovrview of the book will soon be sent to a New York City agent for circulation among all the major publishing houses. Among the topics that will be covered is the role of British USA Round Table member Rep. Wayne Hays (Demo-Ohio) in "killing" the Reece Committee investigation of tax-exempt foundations, the disappearance of the research on the Rockefeller-funded Kinsey studies and the "disposal" threats made to Reece Investigator Norman Dodd by a lobbyist for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). In 1986 Hoover scholar Antony C. Sutton published his "magnum opus" titled AMERICA'S SECRET ESTABLISHMENT: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ORDER OF SKULL AND BONES. In his preface Sutton said he had been given an eight-inch batch of documents which was "nothing less than the membership lists of an American secret society. Glancing through the sheets it was more than obvious--this was no ordinary group. The names spelled Power with a capital P." Throughout the book Sutton hinted at even deeper revelations he would make in books to come. However, the full list never was published by Sutton. In making inquiries of those who knew Sutton, I was told that he had become exiled in his own country. For months I searched the Web looking for a list of the members of Skull and Bones. At long last, a notebook was given to me which required the use of a magnifying glass to make out the names. So, the following semi-final list is about 97% accurate. It opens the door to the Bones realm at a time that one of their own is now hitting the campaign trail for the Republican presidential nomination. For about the past ten years I have been studying secret elite groups. The average person has almost no knowledge of them and there are very few sources of information. These secret groups include the Bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, The Knights of the Garter, The Knights of Malta, The 33rd Degree Masons, the Rhodes Scholars, The Skull and Bones and the Trilateral Commission. What is needed is a historical roster of the membership of each of these groups. The list that follows is only the first of an upcoming series of historic exposes of these secret societies. If you have any biographical information on any of these individuals, your sharing will be appreciated and reciprocated. Any mistakes or corrections appreciated.

The Swiss-made presses whirred as the uniquely processed paper was fed into stacks to dry. He had heard from others who took the time to tour the U.S. Mint that it was an awesome experience, but it just never struck home until now. During the morning briefing he had been told that, with current inventory, the presses could produce $200 billion dollars. He felt a tremendous satisfaction at a job very well done! "It had been a long, hard road to get to where he was today, and well worth the effort. But he couldnt take all the credit. If it were not for his inside contact at the Department of Treasury, the project probably would not have been successful. It was damn near impossible to purchase security presses. When I say security presses, I mean equipment which can produce bank notes and monetary-standards printing. This is a highly sensitive area and requires several sets of checks and balances to keep the criminal element out of the high-grade counterfeiting business. The U.S. Department of Treasury, however had an open line with the manufacturers. So thats one reason it was vital to have a Treasury employee on the team. "The second reason was very basic. We needed plates. One-hundred-dollar denomination U.S. Treasury Plates. Nothing else would suffice. So the inside man had to be at a level to have access to the plates. The third and fourth requirements from our man in Treasury were the inks and paper. But his responsibility didnt end there. As in any successful covert operation, it is imperative that it remain a secret, even after the mission is complete. Im talking containment again. This insider had to clean-up the purchase orders and delivery orders in total. Now Im not going to tell you who this operative was, but you can bet that he had to be well placed at the Department of Treasury to have unlimited access. I will say that he kinda looked like Clark Kent with thicker glasses! "With the old guard on Capital Hill slowly retiring or dying off, we knew that the Intelligence Oversight Committee would soon require us to report through them more frequently for funds than we had formerly been accustomed. The word out and about was even worse. We would have to have congressional approval for all covert operations before any funding is provided. Well, now, we sure had a problem with that. Have you ever known a politician to keep a secretother than who he was sleeping with? "I have to agree with their reasoning there Alex . . . and I dont say that lightly. I say it from personal experience. When we finally decided to invade Grenada, President Reagan called Congress and advised them of the military operation as required by law. Now, here we are sitting in the Caribbean with a strike force poised for an attack on the Cuban-held stronghold on the Island. The primary mover for the force was helicopters, flying low and slow. The only thing we had going was the element of surprise. But some congressman thought that it was inhumane to attack without prior notice: so he called the Cubans and told them when and where we were attacking. I had a friend that died that dayfrom the 160th Aviation Battalion. There are normally losses in battle, but that captain never would have died had the congressman kept the mission under tabs. But thats a whole other story. "The fact of the matter is very simple: Politicians all have their own agenda, and it is rarely in keeping with the agenda of National Security. That is why we could not chance the covert operations congressional approval process. Now dont get me wrong, we did, on occasion, request congressional approval on what we consider insignificant operations. But never the major ops.

The new banking location was already in place. There was only one question that remained. Who would be the CIAs first Secretary of Treasury?" Sam paused, and then again continued with a smile.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 22 /A - Laissez Faire City Times May 31, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 22 Editor Chief: Emile Zola Copyrights and Property Rights by Wolf DeVoon Let me present the dilemma as bluntly as possible. Suppose I write a book on anarchy. One of the most peculiar problems in issuing a book on anarchy is that the law of copyright (which is enforced by government) seems to contradict and sabotage the author's political purpose. By submitting the manuscript to a publisher and demanding a royalty from him, it would seem that I implicitly accept and intend to rely on the principle of de jure legal rights, which prohibit publication without the author's consent and compensation. Certainly, any prospective publisher will insist that either he or I assert a copyright -- or else an unscrupulous competitor (upon seeing the success of our first edit ion) might claim a common law right to reproduce the text, without paying a royalty to either of us. As an author, it seems fair that I should receive some benefit for the work of writing. It seems proper, too, that the publisher should be compensated for the expense and risk of promoting my book to a point where it might conceivably be worth "stealing." Although an obscure political tract is less vulnerable to unauthorized exploitation (there will be no movie rights, for instance), doesn't anarchy amount to "a naive floating abstraction," as Ayn Rand called it, which ultimately strips everyone of the mechanism for preserving and protecting their rights? Without government, law courts, and in this case the laws of copyright, doesn't anarchy prevent me from receiving payment for the intellectual property which I created? And without consenting to a copyright notice, would any publisher in his right mind issue such a book? It does no good to hope that the original publisher or anyone else will, as a matter of honor, pay royalties simply because they wish me to receive an income. Sending someone a manuscript does not immediately impose on the recipient an obligation to pay for its publication, or to pay royalties in any fixed amount, except as may be negotiated and agreed with the author, if the publisher wishes to make such an offer. Nor do I believe that all men (including publishers) should be self-governing to the extent of policing themselves in endless perfection of "good will" and Kantian respect for each person as an end-in-himself. The purpose of contract and copyright law is to enforce rights based on mutual, rather than unilateral, execution of property transactions. "If men were angels, no government would be necessary," James Madison observed. And so, the classic defense of the State rests on the fairly straightforward proposition that men are not angels. It might be suggested that I escape the issue by renouncing property -- which is exactly what the "classical" anarchists were forced to do, since it was assumed that property could not exist without the protection of a State to confer and uphold various claims of title to property. "The extreme individualist is not an anarchist, for he considers the State to be necessary. It is needed to protect life, liberty, and property" (Jacobsen) "A society without an organized government would be at the mercy of the first criminal who came along and who would precipitate it into the chaos of gang warfare It is the need of objective laws and of an arbiter for honest disagreements among men that necessitates the establishment of a government." (Rand) Any social system which denies property rights is doomed, not necessarily because men are hopelessly corrupt and un-angelic, but because property is a fundamental human right which cannot be repealed by idealistic notions of socialism. The vast majority of Americans recognise that the principle of private property is moral, just, and pragmatically desirable -- which explains why anarchists have historically had so little influence in U.S. political history. By "property" we mean the things of our own making, which do not in any sense belong to others or to the community. A manuscript is one example; an invention is another. And so, the laws of copyright and patent guarantee to authors of original works an exclusive right to sell, license and profit from their creations. When such rights are conveyed by contract to someone else (for instance, a publisher), the law secures each party's contribution to the long process of making the property available for sale to the public, and guarantees that income will be divided according to each party's contribution of labor, capital and risk. Without such laws and a coercive State to guarantee their enforcement, wouldn't all property-based rights suffer? What justice would anarchy provide for Lionel

-Caveat Lector- SIGHTINGS Pfizer's 'Trovan' Antibiotic Tied To Sudden Death, Liver Damage By Ransdell Pierson www.foxnews.com 5-27-99 NEW YORK - The European Union agency that monitors prescription drugs said it has received reports that eight patients who took Pfizer Inc.'s antibiotic Trovan have suddenly died or needed liver transplants since February 1998. Analysts said the incidents had cast a shadow over Trovan, a fast-growing antibiotic with blockbuster sales potential, although it was too soon to determine whether Trovan itself caused the liver problems. The European Union Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, in a May 25 report, said the deaths were among 140 documented cases of serious liver injuries seen in Trovan users since Pfizer launched the drug in the United States in February 1998. "These data suggest that the onset and severity of these liver injuries are unpredictable," the European agency said, adding it would need to reassess whether the benefit of taking the drug outweighed the risk. Trovan (trovafloxacin), a member of the quinolone family of antibiotics which is effective against a wide range of bacteria, was approved by European Union regulators in July 1998 and is sold in eight member nations. It had global sales of $159 million in 1998, including $154 million in the United States. An estimated 2.5 million prescriptions have been written for the antibiotic worldwide, including 200,000 in Europe. Pfizer, the New York drug maker best known for its anti-impotence pill Viagra, said Wednesday it was "strengthening" the Trovan package insert label on its European product to warn of potential liver-related side effects. In addition, Pfizer said it was in "advanced discussions" with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to revise the Trovan product label in the United States. The European Union advisory, released to Reuters by Pfizer, said about 35 percent of the patients with liver problems also had hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions. Trovan's current label warns patients to stop using the antibiotic if they develop such reactions, which include skin rash, hives or joint pain. The agency said it intended to inform patients and doctors about the "unpredictability and potential severity of liver injuries" from taking Trovan, stressing that doctors had to decide on a "case by case" basis whether to prescribe it. It said patients should be informed to immediately stop the treatment and consult their doctors if they develop signs of liver or pancreatic injury, including fatigue, yellowing of the skin and eyes, severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting. "It's a setback for Pfizer," Hambrecht Quist analyst Alex Zisson said of the liver-damage reports, predicting it could take European and U.S. regulators months to determine Trovan's exact role. "It may turn out to be a ripple in the pond or it might turn out to be more serious" for Trovan, Zisson said. He noted that patients on antibiotics are often very ill and take several medications at the same time. "So it could be difficult to trace liver problems to one drug." Lehman Brothers analyst Anthony Butler said Trovan's European label cautions that rare cases of liver dysfunction have been reported in patients. In a research report to clients, Butler said the liver problems are reversible upon discontinuation of Trovan and might be attributable in some cases to concurrent use of other medications or to other underlying disease. "With changes to Trovan's European and possibly U.S. labels, risk has entered one of Pfizer's primary growth drivers," said Butler. Pfizer shares fell $1.12 to $101 in heavy trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

[CTRL] Ditching the Hangman
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.22/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 22 /A - Laissez Faire City Times May 31, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 22 Editor Chief: Emile Zola Ditching the Hangman by Sunni Maravillosa Recently I wrote about the various groups of freedom lovers and the in-fighting that seems to be rather common among us. While we allowor participate inthe bickering, statism and the liberty-destroying efforts of government continue to grow and to take lives. The problem is clear: were contributing to the gobbling up of freedom by our choice to fight amongst ourselves. Solutions, however, seem not so clear, yet theyre what is most needed. How do we overcome such deep-seated habits? Is it even possible for all kinds of freedom lovers to cooperate, or is that a dream that will never happen? Changing Human Nature? In describing the origins of this in-fighting, I stated that categorizing or labeling individuals is virtually universaleach person does it to some degree, as a way to create a more ordered, understandable world. Its part of human nature to categorize. So, does that mean were "doomed" to narrow-minded thinking, because of the pattern of categorizing? I dont think so. Categorizing is very helpful to us, else we would not have evolved with that way of thinking. The challenge seems to lie in recognizing when it is helpful, and when it is potentially limiting or dangerous. Categorizing is most helpful when a person encounters a situation about which she knows very little, or must rely on information from others. For example, when we enter a new restaurant, we know that its very likely that the bill-paying will go one of a few ways: we order the food and pay when we receive it; after the meal, the waitstaff brings the check and settles the bill for us; or we pay on our way out. Most individuals watch others as they leave, in order to know whats appropriate. When a person interacts with someone of an unfamiliar background or occupation, she generally acts on what she thinks such individuals might be interested insay, a statistician is probably interested in numbers, and therefore might enjoy gambling. Going with such hunches is typically a safe strategy at first, but as she comes to know the person better, it becomes smarter to base her interaction on the information she learns about the person, rather than the group-based generalities. Indeed, an individual is likely to get upset if he thinks hes being treated as a stereotype instead of a person. Part of human nature is also to break beyond categories and traditional ways of seeing things, to create new perspectives and revolutionary approaches to problems. This unbridled creativity is the hallmark of human advancement. Yet many of us tend to view creativity as something only inventors and those who like puzzles need. Creativity is a valuable asset in any situation, by designit shakes up the routine and forces us out of our mental patterns. Many people seem to think of themselves as not creative, in part because of the fairly strict way of looking at the phenomenon already mentioned. However, psychological research has shown that individuals can increase their creativity simply by pretending to be creative. In doing so, a person frees his mind from the routine, and disables the "self-censoring" that often goes on. Without those limits, possibilities open up, and many people are surprised at the things they think of. If that happens just by pretending, consider the power that would be unleashed if an individual were to choose to deliberately exercise his creativity every day. Although it is part of human nature to categorize, it is important to learn when to rely on it, and when to move beyond it. Exercising ones creativity more is also a skill that can be developed, and can help a person move beyond relying upon labels. As I pointed out in a previous article, freedom lovers pride themselves on being more intelligent than the general population. If that opinion is based on fact, it shouldnt take too much effort to develop creative responses to those categorizing impulses when they arise. Rather than allowing the labeling aspect of our nature to dominate, we can choose to exercise a different aspect of human nature. Thus, we can see that it isnt necessary to change human nature, just to change which aspect of our nature we respond to fellow travelers withby doing so, the task becomes less Herculean. Breaking the Bonds of the Group Even individualists have the need to feel valued, to be part of something meaningful. Yet thinking in terms of belonging to a group encourages the tendency to categorize. One way to overcome that unfortunate tendency is to remember that groups as such have no concrete existence. Every group is composed of individuals who do exist in

[CTRL] Regarding Col. Williams' Message
-Caveat Lector- Be it known that i do not belong to the American Revolutionary Army. I simply agreed to post his message. If my action results in the dreaded 2:00 am knock on the door, so be it. Whether this is the time for armed revolt, I cannot say. But, surely, the people must be made aware that with the computerization of the voting booths, there can be little doubt that vote fraud will be widespread, even if there were other hopes of turning things around via the electoral process. [Which I strongly doubt.] So what can we do? Let us recall the words of Samuel Adams: "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget ye were our countrymen... Samuel Adams Or the words of these great men: " I have seen the noble times, a nation of free men, untrammeled by tyranny, but Rome (America )has fallen in spirit. Fierce vultures are poised upon her walls, and men cannot be swayed by the voice of reason "The rich preside over whining,, vicious minorities, who seek to fill their bellies by looting the public treasury. "Remember that there was never a government that was not a liar, a thief, a malefactor. The power that once resided in the people has been gradually surrendered to exigent rulers, who have promised the free lunch and then steal away mens liberties. "Beware of the pedant, the man in the ivory tower, who can no more be trusted than the rabble of the streets. Too long cloistered in the halls of academe, the first are dangerous because they fail to understand the world, and know not reality. The second are like a mindless storm, full of feverous rage and passion. " Men should cultivate contemplation, and be reverent before the wisdom and tradition garnered through the centuries. "I am weary. I have lived a life of toil and trouble, and have been beset by much difficulty.. I have loved liberty and truth too much and have been involved with God, so that now I find little pleasure in the Earth.. I hunger for the Lord and now I wish to be with Him." Marcus Tullius Cicero _ " Republics decline into democracies, and democracies degenerate into despotism. For a good man, happiness lies in coming to know God, and in learning to do His will. Yet, even that happiness is overlain by sadness, for we are in the world, and the world is evil..." Aristotle ...Far better envy, that disease of Republics, than the fear that reigns with tyrants...
