A Window of Opportunity

Camera readers have an opportunity to help redirect current plans for a
risky oil-drilling experiment in a biologically rich Arctic region.  BP
Amoco is building an offshore platform on an artificial island in the
Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska.  It plans to transport the oil to shore
through an underwater pipeline – a risky experiment never yet attempted in
Arctic conditions.  If allowed to proceed, the experiment, called the
Northstar Project, would lead to the building of a string of oil wells
across the Beaufort Sea, and the likely devastation of the area.

This experiment poses a double threat.  In the short term, oil spills
threaten the fragile Arctic ecosystem and the native peoples who depend on
them for their livelihoods. In the long term, continued use of fossil fuels
will accelerate the global warming which is already happening and which
poses the single most serious threat to life on the planet.  Alaska Natives
and Greenpeace are asking for help in persuading BP Amoco to abandon the
Northstar Project, and to invest in developing renewable energy
alternatives
– solar, wind, and waves.

The Arctic is home to some of the world’s most distinctive mammals,
millions
of migratory and resident birds, a rich ice-edge community, and some of the
world’s major fisheries.  It is a biologically and culturally unique
environment, and one of the last places on Earth where natural conditions
still prevail over much of the region.  The Arctic is also a region that is
particularly vulnerable to human-induced climate change.

Greenpeace gives these reasons to stop offshore oil development in the
Arctic Ocean:

1)  Global Warming.  The Western Arctic, site of the Northstar Project, is
already warming at least three times faster than the planet as a whole.
The
reduction of sea ice now occurring is a major threat to the Arctic food
chain and to many unique Arctic species, including polar bears and walrus.
If the world continues to burn even a fraction of the known reserves of
coal, oil and natural gas, catastrophic climate change will result. If we
are to maintain a life-supporting climate on the planet, the world can’t
afford to use all the oil reserves we already have.  Further oil
exploration
must stop.

2.  Dangerous Technology.  Amoco would use untested and risky technology to
transport oil ashore through a pipeline buried beneath the seabed.  Sea ice
in the region continually gouges the sea floor, raising serious concerns
about the safety of the pipeline. The area is either frozen solid or in
"broken ice" condition for about ten months each year.

3.  Oil spill Danger.  There is up to a 1 in 4 chance of a major spill over
the life of the Northstar Project (The Trans-Alaska Pipeline has reported
624 spills since it opened in 1977). Any leak that occurs during the long,
dark winter would likely go undetected until spring, and cleaning up an oil
spill would be next to impossible during the "broken ice" conditions of
spring and fall.  A major spill could prove disastrous for the
biologically-rich arctic ecosystem, especially the endangered bowhead
whale,
polar bears, ringed seals, sea ducks, and the Inupiat Eskimo communities.

Global Response is a remarkably effective network that has exerted a
powerful influence on a number of environmental issues.  It works in
partnership with indigenous, environmental, and peace and justice
organizations around the world, and also works with elementary and high
school students to enable them to influence these issues as well.  Global
Response is working with Greenpeace and others to coordinate efforts to
redirect BP Amoco's activities in a less destructive direction.  Camera
readers can add their impact by writing the CEO to urge Amoco to abandon
Northstar and all new oil exploration, and to lead the oil industry’s
transition toward renewable energy.  It is also possible to join others in
such efforts by joining Global Response.

I feel sorry for you, MJ, if you equate humanitarian care for the elderly
and the indigent
with "stealing."

We have a moral and ethical responsibility to care for
one another.  Why do I believe this is the best policy?  Perhaps, it
relates to centuries of social and cultural evolution.  In the past, the
tribe would finish off the old and elderly with a blow to the head, but I
hope that we've moved beyond that level.  Only an ethically challenged
individual would not see the virtue of altruistic behavior.

My claim still stands.  Welfare cuts hurt children the most.  Do some
research on the subject.  Speaking of welfare, have you studied the
subject?  Do you know anyone on welfare (uh...probably slim chance of
that)?

Outside of reading Thomas Sowell, Ayn Rand, and your usual right
wing fare, have you ever journeyed into the heart of a housing project to
see on a first hand basis just how well welfare recipients live?

It's really shocking, MA.  They're feasting

 FAIR Media Advisory -- THEY CALL THIS VICTORY?
 Bombing "Success" Must Be Weighed Against Human Cost, Missed Chances
for
 Peace

 June 4, 1999

 Media commentators have been asserting that the Kosovo peace plan
 adopted June 3 by the Serbian Assembly vindicates NATO's airstrikes on
 Yugoslavia.

 A New York Times editorial (6/4/99) claimed the plan, if genuine,
 shows that NATO's "sustained bombing has been more effective than many
 critics allowed" and represents a "victory for the principles of
 democracy and human rights."

 The Washington Post's Stephen Rosenfeld wrote (6/3/99): "They said
 Bill Clinton was wrong to rely on air power alone to win the war, and --
 assuming the details are mastered -- they were wrong This time
 around, anyway, he showed he was right. His weighing of means and ends
 finally clicked."

 USA Today's Walter Shapiro stated (6/4/99): "The record must show that
 Bill Clinton did the morally right thing. And if his efforts are crowned
 with a lasting peace in the Balkans, the president deserves the gratitude
 of all of us who doubted his resolve and courage."

 CNN's Christiane Amanpour (6/3/99) said that the "plan amounts to
 [Milosevic]  accepting less than he would have come away with had he
 agreed several months ago at the Rambouillet talks."

 These interpretations are seriously misleading. Seventy days of
 bombing in the Balkans have brought an agreement from Yugoslavia whose
 terms, in many important respects, diverge little from those Yugoslavia
 accepted before the first shot was fired.  To a great extent, an end to
 the war seems possible now not because massive bombing forced Yugoslavia
 to capitulate, but because the U.S. seems to be willing to drop
 conditions that it had previously insisted Belgrade must meet before
 bombing could be halted.

 Indeed, the media notion of Serb capitulation seemed to rely on a cue
 from NATO powers, as evidenced by this CNN report from correspondent
 Walter Rodgers (6/3/99): "It's difficult to say whether it's a
 capitulation. It really isn't even up for me to say that, that is
 something that has to be decided by someone like the president of the
 United States, Britain's prime minister, Mr. Blair."

 MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

 At Rambouillet, before the bombing began, Yugoslavia had agreed to
 almost all the points that are contained in the June 3 Serbian
 Assembly resolution, including autonomy for Kosovo.  (See "Forgotten
 Coverage of Rambouillet Negotiations: Was a Peaceful Kosovo Solution
 Rejected by the U.S.?," FAIR Media Advisory, 5/14/99.)  A major point
 insisted on by the U.S. at Rambouillet -- a referendum on Kosovo's
 independence after three years -- is now absent from the Serb Assembly
 decision, without audible complaint from U.S. officials.

 What Yugoslavia rejected at Rambouillet was the idea of a NATO-led
 force in Kosovo, proposing instead a U.N. command. It also objected to a
 last-minute addition to the agreement known as Appendix B, which would
 have given NATO sweeping powers throughout all of Yugoslavia.

 There is strong evidence that the U.S. intentionally crafted this
 document to provoke a rejection from the Serbs. (See "What Reporters Knew
 About Kosovo Talks--But Didn't Tell," FAIR Media Advisory, 6/2/99.)  A
 State Department official reportedly told journalists at Rambouillet
 (Cato Institute conference, 5/18/99; see also The Nation, 6/14/99): "We
 intentionally set the bar too high for the Serbs to comply. They need
 some bombing, and that's what they are going to get."

 After two and a half months of that bombing, the Serb parliament
 agreed to a peacekeeping force "under U.N. auspices" in which there
 would be "essential NATO participation."  This language is only
 slightly different from the Yugoslavian position at Rambouillet, and
 there are suggestions that Belgrade was willing to accept such a
 compromise peacefully (Newsweek, 4/12/99).

 THE PRICE

 What was the price of the failure to reach an agreement at
 Rambouillet? 800,000 Kosovars have fled the province since the start of
 the bombing; many will never return to homes that are now destroyed.
 According to the Pentagon, the bombing killed 5,000 Yugoslavian soldiers,
 while Belgrade reports that NATO killed 1,200 civilians. The U.S. State
 Department claims that upwards of 4,600 Albanians have been killed by
 Yugoslavia since NATO announced bombing plans; if all of these are
 non-combatants, then several hundred if not thousands of Kosovo

[CTRL] To Tell the Truth

1999-06-05 Thread Alamaine Ratliff

 -Caveat Lector-

From TheIndependent (UK)


 Study uncovers the truth about lying

 By Cherry Norton, Social Affairs Correspondent

 One in 10 people who lie convince themselves that they are telling the
 truth, raising fears that some people are immune to lie detector tests
 and do not show the tell-tale signs of a liar.

 In two studies of 140 people, Dr Danielle Polage from the University
 of Washington has shown that people who have a good imagination can
 convince themselves, after they have been told to lie, that they are
 telling the truth.

 The findings, presented at the American Psychological Society annual
 conference in Denver, Colorado, show that for the majority of people,
 lying about an event strengthened their memory of the truth. However
 10 per cent came to believe that the lied-about event was true and
 subsequently denied they were lying.

 "Lying is a form of imagination in which someone creates an
 alternative reality," said Dr Polage. "For some people the lie becomes
 so incorporated into their memory that they believe the lie.

 "People who make false confessions because they are tired or think
 they will get off more lightly, live with the lie for a period of time
 and have to repeat it. These finding show that for a significant
 proportion of people the lie becomes reality."

 People who repeatedly lie about an event, and are then faced with
 facts that prove they are lying, cannot admit it because they believe
 their version of events. These people will not display any of the body
 or facial movements that can betray a liar.

 Participants in the study were asked to fill in lifestyle
 questionnaires. They were asked whether they had ever been lost in a
 public place, approached by a scary stranger in a park, or bullied
 before they were 10 years old.

 A week later they were told to make up a story that would allow them
 to answer 'yes' to an event they said had not happened to them. Two
 weeks later they told their story to a researcher, who asked them
 detailed questions. They filled in the questionnaires again one week
 and five weeks later.

 Fifty-five per cent had become more confident in the truth of their
 initial answers, 28 per cent remained the same and 25 per cent were
 influenced by their own lies. Ten per cent became completely convinced
 that their lied-about event was true.

 "Time had no impact on their lied-about event. In each study, one in
 ten people were absolutely convinced that their lies were true," said
 Dr Polage.

[CTRL] Marilyn Manson on Littleton....

1999-06-05 Thread William Shannon

 -Caveat Lector-

This from another list, but interesting. Do the media/politicians need to
scapegoat SOMEONE for what, in essence is a random act of criminal
behaviour??? ANd one that can't easily be blamed on ANY one factor???
H...

Bill.


 Here's Marilyn's statement about Littleton...very thoughtful, wouldn't
you
 say?

 I had no idea he had a brain!!

 ~Marcus

  -Original Message-
 
  It is sad to think that the first few people on earth needed no books,
  movies, games or music to inspire cold-blooded murder. The day that
 Cain
  bashed his brother Abel's brains in, the only motivation he needed was
  his
  own human disposition to violence. Whether you interpret the Bible as
  literature or as the final word of whatever God may be, Christianity
 has
  given us an image of death and sexuality that we have based our
culture
  around. A half-naked dead man hangs in most homes and around our
necks,
  and
  we have just taken that for granted all our lives. Is it a symbol of
 hope
  or
  hopelessness? The world's most famous murder-suicide was also the
birth
  of
  the death icon -- the blueprint for celebrity. Unfortunately, for all
 of
  their inspiring morality, nowhere in the Gospels is intelligence
 praised
  as
  a virtue.
  A lot of people forget or never realize that I started my band as a
  criticism of these very issues of despair and hypocrisy. The name
 Marilyn
  Manson has never celebrated the sad fact that America puts killers on
 the
  cover of Time magazine, giving them as much notoriety as our favorite
  movie
  stars. From Jesse James to Charles Manson, the media, since their
  inception,
  have turned criminals into folk heroes. They just created two new ones
  when
  they plastered those dipshits Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris' pictures
 on
  the
  front of every newspaper. Don't be surprised if every kid who gets
 pushed
  around has two new idols.
  We applaud the creation of a bomb whose sole purpose is to destroy all
 of
  mankind, and we grow up watching our president's brains splattered all
  over
  Texas. Times have not become more violent. They have just become more
  televised. Does anyone think the Civil War was the least bit civil? If
  television had existed, you could be sure they would have been there
to
  cover it, or maybe even participate in it, like their violent car
chase
  of
  Princess Di. Disgusting vultures looking for corpses, exploiting,
  fucking,
  filming and serving it up for our hungry appetites in a gluttonous
  display
  of endless human stupidity.
  When it comes down to who's to blame for the high school murders in
  Littleton, Colorado, throw a rock and you'll hit someone who's guilty.
  We're
  the people who sit back and tolerate children owning guns, and we're
 the
  ones who tune in and watch the up-to-the-minute details of what they
do
  with
  them. I think it's terrible when anyone dies, especially if it is
 someone
  you know and love. But what is more offensive is that when these
  tragedies
  happen, most people don't really care any more than they would about
 the
  season finale of Friends or The Real World. I was dumbfounded as I
  watched
  the media snake right in, not missing a teardrop, interviewing the
  parents
  of dead children, televising the funerals. Then came the witch hunt.
  Man's greatest fear is chaos. It was unthinkable that these kids did
 not
  have a simple black-and-white reason for their actions. And so a
  scapegoat
  was needed. I remember hearing the initial reports from Littleton,
that
  Harris and Klebold were wearing makeup and were dressed like Marilyn
  Manson,
  whom they obviously must worship, since they were dressed in black. Of
  course, speculation snowballed into making me the poster boy for
  everything
  that is bad in the world. These two idiots weren't wearing makeup, and
  they
  weren't dressed like me or like goths. Since Middle America has not
 heard
  of
  the music they did listen to (KMFDM and Rammstein, among others), the
  media
  picked something they thought was similar.
  Responsible journalists have reported with less publicity that Harris
 and
  Klebold were not Marilyn Manson fans -- that they even disliked my
 music.
  Even if they were fans, that gives them no excuse, nor does it mean
 that
  music is to blame. Did we look for James Huberty's inspiration when he
  gunned down people at McDonald's? What did Timothy McVeigh like to
 watch?
  What about David Koresh, Jim Jones? Do you think entertainment
inspired
  Kip
  Kinkel, or should we blame the fact that his father bought him the
guns
  he
  used in the Springfield, Oregon, murders? What inspires Bill Clinton
to
  blow
  people up in Kosovo? Was it something that Monica Lewinsky said to
him?
  Isn't killing just killing, regardless if it's in Vietnam or
Jonesboro,
  Arkansas? Why do we justify one, just because it seems to be for the
  right
  reasons? Should there ever be a right reason? If a kid is old

 Tiananmen ten years on - 70,000 in Hong Kong protest

 By Stephen Vines in Hong Kong

 WHILE security forces on the Chinese mainland ensured there would be
 no mass gathering to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Tiananmen
 Square massacre yesterday, officials in Hong Kong did nothing to stop
 the traditional rally marking the event.

 However, Hong Kong authorities remain unhappy at this mass display of
 defiance and banned 11 exiled dissidents from entering the territory
 to take part.

 "In [China's] 9 million square miles, this is the only place you can
 hold an open rally," said Szeto Wah, a leader of Hong Kong's democracy
 movement.

 The Tiananmen anniversary rally is an annual event in Hong Kong and
 yesterday's candlelit vigil was the biggest yet. Organisers claimed an
 attendance of 70,000, with numbers swelled because of the significance
 of the 10th anniversary.

 The mood was sombre as people of all ages and social classes listened
 to speeches, sang patriotic songs and shouted slogans denouncing the
 government in Peking. Many of the participants had not attended any of
 the previous rallies. The Democratic Party leader, Martin Lee, said:
 "I'm happy to see so many parents bringing their young children to
 pass on to the next generation the truth about the massacre."

 Although emotions ran high at the vigil, opinion polls suggest that a
 growing number of people - albeit a minority -would prefer to put
 Tiananmen behind them.

 The Hong Kong government is committed to introducing anti-subversion
 legislation, which would probably outlaw rallies such as yesterday's,
 but it is proceeding with caution because of the backlash such laws
 would provoke.

Bilderberg - 'summit' opens in Sintra under massive security

SAMPAIO ATTENDS SINTRA SUMMIT

A massive security operation was launched in Sintra
on Wednesday, in preparation for the arrival of
some of the world's most powerful people. A
special unit from the PJ (Judicial Police) was
reported to be sweeping Penha Longa for listening
devices late Wednesday. A film crew from the UK's
Channel 4 were being trailed by a team of plain
clothes police and security men after they attempted
to film inside the hotel on Tuesday afternoon.
Veteran Washington reporter and Bilderberg
specialist Jim Tucker, a regular and unwelcome
visitor at Bilderberg conferences since 1980, is also
under constant surveillance. He told The News that
he was spotted near the hotel by the Bilderberg
security team. Since the Bilderberg meeting was first
revealed by The News on May 1, scooping the
world's media, the internet site of The News has
been experiencing unprecedented international
interest. In the last four days the site has
accumulated over 368,000 hits, being linked to
some of the largest media sites on the net. Only on
Wednesday did the Portuguese media start to
comment on the upcoming 'summit' in Sintra, despite
the fact that the Portuguese press agency LUSA had
alerted them to the story in The News four weeks
ago. Much of the information now being published is
relying heavily on The News reporting of this event
over its last five issues. Guests confirmed by the
Bilderberg Meeting to The News on Thursday
morning included in alphabetical order; Pinto
Balsemão, Conrad Black, Kenneth Clarke, João
Cravinho, Paulo Fresco, Marçal Grilo, Richard
Holbrooke, Henry Kissinger, Peter Mandelson,
Vasco de Mello, Murteira Nabo, Her Majesty
Queen of the Netherlands, David Oddsson, David
Rockefeller, Richardo Salgado, President Jorge
Sampaio, Rudolf Scharping.

The Bilderberg wall of silence suffered substantial
damage this week. The Edinburgh based Sunday
Herald, WorldNetDaily and the famous Drudge Report
all commented on the rendezvous of world leaders
currently taking place in Sintra.

The Scottish Sunday Herald published the story (May
30) and the internationally-respected WorldNetDaily
led with the agenda linking directly to The News site.
The Portuguese national radio station, RFM, reported
on Wednesday the expected presence of Bill Clinton
who, they reported, would be unaccounted for over this
weekend.

The Sunday Herald said in its article: "Every year the
international media competes to be the first to reveal the
location and agenda for the conference". The Herald
continued by saying: "The winner of the Bilderberg
scoop this year was a Portuguese newspaper, The
News, which boasts that it is the country's
largest-circulation English language newspaper. It has
published the location and the detailed agenda of the
conference".

Público refers to a "Lusa News Agency alert" quoting a
newspaper, 'The News'.

The BBC Worldwide Monitoring Service this week
printed a text of a report by the Yugoslav News
Agency, Tanjug, which said the plan to bring about a
Balkan Vietnam was drawn up secretly back in 1996
and reactivated at a meeting of the Bilderberg Group
held in Scotland last year, citing the May 27 edition of
the Yugoslav newspaper "Vojska".

Vojska said that a thorough investigation conducted by
independent US journalists had disclosed that the group
members included David Rockefeller, Giovanni Agnelli,
Helmut Kohl, Lord Peter Carrington, Queen Sophia of
Spain, Valery Giscard D'Estaing, Baron Rothschild,
Margaret Thatcher, Lord Robert Owen and Henry
Kissinger. The newspaper claimed that US journalists
had disclosed that the Bilderberg Group had in fact
made plans for the "third Balkan war" in this century.

Under the plan, drawn up at a session chaired by Lord
Carrington, the first move was to be to try and arrest
"war criminals from among the Serbs" with extensive
help of the Hague tribunal, set up for that very purpose.
The move was to provoke a stormy reaction by Serbs,
which was to be used as a pretext for a military
intervention.

However, developments prevented the idea from being
translated into practice, which required a reserve variant
- the fanning of interethnic conflicts in
Kosovo-Metohija.

All indications are that a group is now going back to the
original variant, the outcome of which is the indicting of
Yugoslav officials by the Hague tribunal, said the
newspaper.

According to the same scenario, Greece, Albania,
Bulgaria, Macedonia, Russia and Turkey are to be
drawn into the war, in addition to Yugoslavia, with Nato
adding fuel to the fire.

1999-06-05 Thread CobolMage

 -Caveat Lector-

WHAT'S NEW   Robert L. Park   Friday, 4 Jun 99   Washington, DC

1. MIR: PLUG PULLED AFTER BRITISH BILLIONAIRE BUNGLES BAILOUT.
In a last desperate bid to save the wobbly spacecraft, Russia
agreed to let Peter Llewellyn play cosmonaut if he would pay for
the training and round up investors willing to lay out $100M to
get first crack at all the research results, like   well that was
the problem.  Industry likes to be paid to build space stations,
but who would invest in one?  Mir will be abandoned in August
because no one could think of anything useful to do with it   and
it's being replaced by a bigger and more expensive version.

2. ISS: AT LEAST IT WAS QUIETER ON MIR.  The International Space
Station reached a milestone   it's had its first repair mission.
It was not entirely successful.  Astronauts did fix the broken
radio and replace the flawed battery packs, but they had to wear
ear plugs while they worked because of a noisy fan   a fan that
must run 24 hours a day.  They tried wrapping the fan in foam,
and thought maybe it was a bit better.  But even at the slightly
reduced level, the ISS crew will be required to wear ear plugs.

3. HYPERDRIVE: "STAR WARS PROPULSION DRIVE SOARS TOWARD REALITY."
A May 18 NASA press release from the Marshall Space Flight Center
explains that the "hyperdrive" in Star Wars gets its punch from
fusion, so NASA's busy developing fusion propulsion at Marshall.
"Achieving the level of technology portrayed in Star Wars is
quite a challenge," according to an MSFC official, who said it
would also require "overcoming the physical limitations of space
itself in order to travel faster than the speed of light."  As
soon as they take care of the fan they'll get right on it.

4. SHIFTING PARADIGMS: SOCIETY FOR SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION MEETS.
Yes folks, it's going on right now in Albuquerque, with talks on
Newton vs Einstein (Newton wins), alien abductions, evidence of a
human consciousness field in World Cup soccer and, of course,
cold fusion.  A major theme of the meeting is "the Suppression of
New Science."  So far, the best quote came after an invited talk
attacking Darwinism.  Asked what the benefits to society would be
if "intelligent design" won acceptance, the speaker solemnly
explained that, "We could avoid wasting time looking for natural
explanations where none exist."  It's that kind of meeting.

5. COX REPORT: ONE MORE PLOT TWIST.  In addition to the reasons
listed in WN (WN 27 May 99), Randolph Herber at Fermilab points
to another reason why China would let the CIA know they had
stolen our secret: the data was real - they knew it, we knew it -
but China wanted the US to plug the holes in security before
others got the same information.  Now that everyone is on record,
expressing shock and outrage, the discussion should return to the
hard reality - you can't keep secrets forever so we better focus
on nonproliferation and get on with CTBT.

 All,

 Input on the contrail topic from a patriot pilot.  Not sure about the
 extent of his own personal research on this topic, but he's a sharp fellow
 and makes common sense observations from the viewpoint of a pilot.   ICE

 Subject: CONtrails or Chemtrails? Re: We're Here From the Govt.to

 Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 02:05:28 -0700
 
 ICE,
 
 I can't let this one go by. As you may or may not know, I'm a certificated
 Airline Transport Pilot. I can tell you that there is no such thing as a
 "normal" or "standard" contrail. Depending on the height of the aircraft and
 the temperature of the air the aircraft is passing through, the contrail
 could form at varying distances away from the rear of the engines, or not at
 all.
 
 I've looked at all of the pictures on the website for Mr. Clifford Carnicom.
 Interestingly, the only aircraft depicted are twin-engine aircraft, which
 perhaps include a Boeing 737, a Boeing 757 and the French produced Airbus.
 The contrails in all of these pictures, while it "appears" to be emanating
 from the tips of the horizontal stabilizer, is in reality the stream of
 exhaust particulate being released from the two engines -- they line up
 perfectly. That the horizontal stabilizer tips just happen to represent the
 approximate spacing of the extended centerline of the exhaust trail is
 clearly evident. Notice that Mr. Carnicom's first three pictures are
 distorted? In two of the pictures, either someone has played with the
 developing cycle in the darkroom (the grainy background), or the pictures
 have been deliberately "doctored" to enhance the effect of the contrail
 being made to appear as if it is being "sprayed" from the tips of the
 horizontal stabilizer. NONSENSE!
 
 Next time we have some clearer weather and cold temperatures aloft, spend
 some time watching the sky. I can assure you that if you take the time, you
 too will observe that the contrails appearing at varying distances. By the
 way, Mr. Carnicom emphatically states that the three aircraft pictured in
 the first part of his website are in fact "Chemplanes". I recognize one of
 the aircraft as being a commercial passenger plane in the paint scheme of
 either United Airlines or British Airways.
 
 There are numerous high-altitude jet routes above Sante Fe, New Mexico. In
 all likelihood, these aircraft are commercial passenger jets overflying and
 transiting Sante Fe enroute to their final destination. A little listening
 on the aircraft radio frequencies would probably prove what I'm saying here,
 that this is nothing more than someone's fantasy. Might I suggest.
 
 Gee, I wish I had thought of this: "Contrails from  engines, chemtrails come
 from nozzles". I wonder if Mr. Carnicom has ever looked at the rear of a jet
 engine. It is sort of like a big nozzle. And if you look at the size of the
 contrails immediately as they've formed, you'll notice that they form in a
 tapered shape - from about the size of the rear opening of the engine and
 then "plume". All of these pictures represent what are normal, everyday
 "contrails". That they are somehow "chemtrails" and that these pictures are
 "evidence" is pure lunacy. I think Mr. Carnicom has been CONfused by all of
 the CONtrails over Sante Fe, and appears to be on his own little mission of
 paranoia.

of the absolute value of the energy by 65 orders of magnitude. The new geom-

the same advantages as the original Alcubierre spacetime. Prepare to transit

1. MIR: BAGGED AFTER BRIT BILLIONAIRE BUNGLES BAILOUT. In a last desperate
bid to save wobbly Mir, Russia agreed to let Peter Llewellyn play cosmonaut
if he'd pay for training and dig up investors willing to pony-up $100M for
first crack at all the research results, like... well that's the problem.
Industry likes to be paid to build space stations, but who would invest in
one? Mir will be abandoned because no one could think of anything useful to
do with it and it's being replaced by a bigger and more expensive version.

2. ISS: AT LEAST IT WAS QUIETER ON MIR. The International Space Station hit
a milestone: its first repair mission, not entirely successful. Astronauts
did fix the broken radio and replace the flawed battery packs, but they had
to wear ear plugs while they worked because of a noisy fan... a fan that
must run 24 hours a day. They tried wrapping the fan in foam, and thought
maybe it was a bit better. But even at the slightly reduced level, the ISS
crew will be required to wear ear plugs. Or play Jewell on the boombox.

3. HYPERDRIVE: "STAR WARS PROPULSION DRIVE SOARS TOWARD REALITY." A May 18
NASA blurb from Marshall SFC says "hyperdrive" in Star Wars gets its punch
from fusion, so NASA's busy developing fusion propulsion at MSFC. "Achieving
the level of technology portrayed in Star Wars is quite a challenge," says
an MSFC official, who said it would also require "overcoming the physical
limitations of space itself in order to travel faster than the speed of
light."  As soon as they take care of the fan they'll get right on it.

 If this is true it is all the more reason not to have a gun, but to have
several weapons and ammunition for each.  Some of the
socialist/marxist/communists may think it is good to have government telling
them what to do, but I say NO to these non-elected criminals in the
government.  I just wonder if these uninformed people are ever going to
understand that Fascism is started under the auspices of altruism.  This is
fully documented in history, but with the dumbing-down of Americans and the
socialist propaganda many may never see that they are party to the death of
America and the rise of the New World Order with the iron boot on the face of
mankind forever.

[CTRL] William Jefferson Clinton:

1999-06-05 Thread Bill Richer

 -Caveat Lector-

From:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cliff Hume)

To get a better understanding of the traitor in the White House and those in
the Congress, the Senate and other elective and appointed offices of those
who have sworn to protect and to defend the Constitution, the following
should be read and understood. In approximately 1350 words, it tells the
people what is happening to their country and their freedom. Bill Clinton
and approximately three hundred members of the Council on Foreign Relations
have been stacking the deck against freedom - illegally. CHH.

To get a better understanding and appreciation of our Constitution,
one needs to travel back in time and into the very shoes of our
Founding Fathers to realize the state of mind that they had and the
reasons for drafting such a document. To be as accurate as possible
I will refer to a well known document and that is "The Declaration
of Independence 1776." One must read the entire document which is
short and concise containing approximately 1350 words. I will,
however, list a few facts directly from the document to give you an
idea of the abuse and oppression they were under from the King of
England.
Quote---

 - He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by
 refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary
 Powers.
 - He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the
 tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of
 their salaries.
 - He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent
 hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat
 out their substance.
 - He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing
 Armies without the Consent of our legislature.
 - He has affected to render the Military independent of
 and superior to the Civil power.
 - He has combined with others to subject us to a
 jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and
 unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their
 Acts of pretended Legislation.
 - For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
 - For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment
 for any Murders which they should commit on the
 inhabitants of these States:
 - For cutting off our Trade from all parts of the world:
 - For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
 - For depriving us in many cases, the benefits of Trial
 by Jury:
 - For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for
 pretended offenses:
 - For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most
 valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of
 our Government:
 - He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out
 of his Protection and waging War against us.
 - He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt
 our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
 - He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign
 Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation
 and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty
 and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous
 ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized
 nation.
 - He has excited domestic insurrections among us...
 - In every stage of these suppressions We have Petitioned
 for Redress in the most humble terms.
 Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by
 repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked
 by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be
 the ruler of a free people.

  ROBERTSON DEAL IN TROUBLE? BANK OF SCOTLAND MAY
 SCUTTLE AFTER "DARK COUNTRY," GAY REMARKS

The Bank of Scotland may sever a deal with Pat Robertson after the
American televangelist described Scotland as a "dark country" overrun
by gays.  This comes after revelations that Robertson was expanding
his international financial interests by organizing a Cayman
Islands-based corporation to mine gold in Liberia, where human rights
advocates have criticized the regime of President Charles Taylor.  In
March, the prestigious Bank of Scotland announced that it was entering
into a partnership with Robertson to provide on-line and
telephone-based financial services to American customers.  Robertson
had reserved the name "Bank Direct USA," and the venture was to be
promoted on the NASDAQ exchange with an Initial Public Offering (IPO)
potentially worth "billions of dollars" according to financial
sources.

Bank of Scotland was to have a 60% share in the action, with Robertson
taking a one-fourth interest.  The remainder was to have gone to a
Milwaukee firm that would have handled all processing transactions.
News reports said that Robertson was investing $50 million in the new
business; he praised the new Bank of Scotland deal saying that the
institution "could be assured that with me it would be a runaway
success..."

But last week, fortunes for Robertson began to unravel.  AANEWS
reported earlier this week that major customers of Bank of Scotland
were severing their ties, or about to do so.  In what the Observer and
Guardian newspapers described as "the first major blow," the powerful
Trades Union Congress of the U.K.  announced its decision to take it
business elsewhere, and specifically protested the bank's new business
relationship with Robertson.  Other charitable groups were
contemplating similar action, and the bank had reportedly lost
hundreds of small individual accounts in protest of the new deal.  Gay
and progressive groups, members of the Scottish parliament and even
some church organizations were also taking issue with having one of
that nation's leading financial establishments enter into an agreement
with the controversial founder of Christian Coalition.

Now, word of Robertson's comments on a May 18 broadcast of his "700
Club" television program has surfaced, and may sink this deal.
According to transcripts, Robertson -- a former Southern Baptist
minister -- remarked: "In Europe, the big word is tolerance.
Homosexuals are riding high in the media ...  And in Scotland, you
can't believe how strong the homosexuals are.  It's just
unbelievable...  It's kind of frightening to look at that great
Christian history of a nation like (Scotland) and to see the lack of
depth in there..."  Robertson added, "And as far as the vestiges of
John Knox and some of these heroes, I don't think it exists any more.
And what could happen?  It (Scotland) could go right back to the
darkness very easily."

American news reports are tentative in claiming that the deal between
Bank of Scotland and Robertson is off.  British media, however, are
reporting that the Bank does intend to end ties with the American
preacher.  Ausland Cramb, Scotland correspondent with the Daily
Telegraph said that that financial institution "is expected" to
dissolve the relationship; a Reuters news dispatch is headlined "Bank
of Scotland to end Robertson deal."

The Telegraph adds that Bank of Scotland executive Peter Burt flew to
the U.S.  yesterday and is expected to meet with Robertson later this
afternoon to officially cancel the banking teal.  Sources claimed that
the arrangement was "as good as dead," and cited Robertson's May 16
broadcast, and the growing clamor from human rights, gay and other
organizations as the reason.  One critic was Most.  Rev.  Richard
Holloway, the Episcopal Bishop of Edinburg; another speaking out
against the internet banking deal with Andre Wilson, Member of the
Scottish Parliament who denounced Robertson's statements and noted,
"We cannot allow these views, which are utterly discriminatory, to be
associated in any way with our new parliament."

Bill Spears, spokesman for the Trade Union Council, told reporters,
"We believe his (Robertson's) gratuitous and offensive attacks on
Scotland and its people reinforce the message we have already given to

Yugoslavia had fewer choices than most of the others. The reason was
Germany. I hold Germany responsible for what has happened to the
Balkans.

When Yugoslavia became free they had options and possibilities of how
to define or divide the Federation. It was VERY short lived. Germany
rushed to recognize the geographical areas claimed by their old Nazi
allies the Croats. That set off the scramble for lands defined by
ethnic borders.

The United States immediately joined their New World Order ally
Germany.

This was totally unnecessary and stupid. We are seeing the results of
those hasty decisions play themselves out now.

TITO:

Tito moved the different tribes around in a way which would divide and
keep them manageable. Sort of a tribal Mix  Match. He moved many
Albanians into the Serb province of Kosovo. THAT is why there is an
Albanian " majority " in historical Serb territory. They were put
there by a dictator to keep the Serbs weak on their own territory.

BIG BAD SERBS:

From the beginning of the break up, the Serbs have been demonized. War
is war, and civil war is often even dirtier than ordinary warfare. All
the players used terror to move out the other tribes from the
territories they wished to claim. Murder, assassination, rape, and the
fiery destruction of homes make a strong impression on those yet
unconvinced that it's time to make a serious life change.

There was a history of viciousness against the Serbs and Jews in WWII.
The Croats out-nazied the Nazis and were gladly aided by the area's
Muslims. The Croats are Catholic, the Muslims are Muslim, the Serbs
are Orthodox, the offspring of Byzantine Christianity, and the Jews
are ( almost entirely ) gone.

The Western media played down the attempted genocide of the Serbs by
their neighbors. Americans may be ignorant about the people they are
destroying, but the competing religious groups have long memories and
even longer hatreds. Only the greater emotion of fear of the State
kept them in workable relationships while under the Communist
dictatorship.

ALL SIDES WANT WELL DEFINED TRIBAL BORDERS.

This means the expulsion of minority tribes. There are many good
reasons for this. Ethnic cleansing has become synonymous with
genocide. They are NOT the same thing. Don't be fooled by the media's
creation.

THE KLA:

I am convinced that the KLA is funded and armed by the CIA or one of
its sub-contractors like Saudi Arabia, or another one of America's
Arab Client states.

Until very recently, news footage of the KLA fighters showed a bunch
of scruffy guys in shoddy clothes carrying sticks and pitchforks. They
looked like the villagers in Frankenstien. Just a few months later
they were in new uniforms carrying automatic rifles and mortars.

Today NATO spokesmen are openly talking about arming the KLA. This is
the old pattern of American policy. Fist covert, then create the
reason to go overt. It's much easier not to have to maintain secrecy
about arming your client.

The KLA is also involved in moving heroin. Where there is drugs and
guns and a weak independent state that doesn't want to be in the New
World Order, there is the CIA. This is classic American Imperialism.

THE OBJECTIVES:

1) Keep NATO going. Defense contractors need the money.

2) DESTROY THE SERBIAN STATE WHILE THE RUSSIANS ARE TOO WEAK TO HELP
   THEIR ONLY NATURAL ALLIES LEFT IN EUROPE. The euphemism being used
   is " diminish the capacity for making war," or " destroy the Serb
   military. THIS IS THE MILITARY OBJECTIVE. Even if the Serbs agree
   to sign that impossible peace treaty with the Kosovars, NATO will
   not accept it because the goal is not peace, but the destruction of
   the Serb state in all but name.

3) Surround Russia with a ring of iron.

4) Wag the dog. A diversion from the explosive China / nukes / bribery
   domestic politics situation.

5) Small wars are a good showcase for new weapons like the star of
   this one, the monstrously expensive B-52 Stealth Boondoggle.

Did you see how they brought in the two B-52s? It was hilarious. Once
they determined that there was no anti aircraft threat to speak of,
the two 2 billion per copy flying cash cows were allowed to enter the
war zone. It would not do to watch all that American middles class tax
money burn up on its way down. Bad for business.

Like a pair of ugly, pimply debutantes, they were presented to the
public in the dark. With glowing descriptions.

These are the basics. I have no proof of CIA backing the KLA at this
point but the war is yet young and its just a matter of

I think this says it best:

BUCHANAN TO RENO: EXPLAIN OR GO

COLUMBUS, OHIO--Presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan today
called on Atty. Gen. Janet Reno either to take responsibility for the Justice
Department's astonishing failure to wiretap suspected Chinese spy Wen Ho
Lee or identify and dismiss the subordinates she blames for not fully
briefing her.

"By Ms. Reno's own admission, when the FBI sought to wiretap Lee in
1997, the Justice Department refused, and even after the FBI revised the
application twice, it was still not approved," Mr. Buchanan said.  "Some
400 other wiretap warrants were rubber-stamped, but the request to
investigate what has since become the greatest security breach in history
was inexplicably rejected.  Why?"

"Ms. Reno's assertion that she was not briefed is an inadequate defense for
her department's incompetence, and claiming that the FBI did not make a
compelling case is unacceptable," Mr. Buchanan said. " The Attorney
General must either take responsibility for her feckless stewardship or
remove those derelict in their duty."  [End Excerpt]

SUMMARY OF IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE ALLEGATIONS JANET RENO

We the people, present these charges against Attorney General Janet Reno:

1. DERILICTION OF DUTY (Ruby Ridge, Idaho - 1992)
Janet Reno refused to support the conclusion of a Justice Dept.
investigation that found an FBI sniper shot which killed Vicki Weaver was
unconstitutional. Senate testimony showed that an FBI sniper killed Vicki
Weaver by shooting her in the head as she held her baby while standing with
the door open on her front porch. The FBI snipers were shooting at the

Weavers from over 200 yards away using rifles with 10 power scopes. The
snipers and assistant FBI director Larry Potts, testified that they had the
right to shoot and kill anyone if that person was holding a gun. Chairman
Spector pointed out that such a situation did not warrant the use of deadly
force according to FBI policy. On the House floor, Idaho representative,
Helen Chenoweth, called for the resignation of Potts who was also
responsible for the WACO disaster and a personal friend of FBI Director
Freeh, the Reno appointee. Randy Weaver’s attorney called for Lon Horiuchi,
the sniper, to be tried for murder based on the Justice Dept. investigation.
Instead Horiuchi and Potts received paid leave for over two years. (SENATE
RUBY RIDGE SIEGE INVESTIGATION)

2. FAILURE TO UPHOLD THE 4TH AMENDMENT OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION (Waco,
Texas - 1993)
Janet Reno approved the CS military gas attack that led to the deaths of
over 80 men, women and children who had never been charged with any crime.
She also stated that she "could not find anything wrong" with FBI actions in
Waco despite overwhelming video based evidence that the FBI was responsible
for the deaths of the Davidians. An aerial video tape shows a tank
destroying a Davidian building while people were still inside. Autopsy
reports indicate that six bodies found in the rubble of that building were
crushed to death. The Forward Looking Infared (FLIR) tape clearly shows heat
images from bullets being fired at the Davidians as they tried to escape
from the burning buildings. Janet Reno also could find no violation of the
Posse Comitatus act which expressly prohibits the use of military equipment
and personnel to enforce laws against American citizens unless authorized by
the U.S. Constitution or act of Congress. (HOUSE BRANCH DAVIDIAN INCIDENT
INVESTIGATION, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT - WILLIAM GAZECKI)

3. ABUSE OF POWER (Firing of all U.S. Attorneys - 1993)
Janet Reno fired all 94 United States Attorneys, a move unprecedented in
American history, shortly after her appointment in March 1993.  She stated
that the replacement of all U.S. Attorneys was a "joint decision" with the
White House. The liaison with the White House was the third highest ranking
Justice Dept. official, associate attorney

Re: [CTRL] Say NO To Socialized Health Care Today!

1999-06-05 Thread William Hugh Tunstall

 -Caveat Lector-

MJ-

My earlier response to your post did not get through, I'm afraid.  First
off, let me say that I do enjoy your input on CTRL...even though I don't
share your political philosophy, and I do think you are making a valuable
contribution to the list by giving us your thoughts on a variety of
topics.  And, I do admire you for your passionate dedication to the
Constitution..and your interest in economics/politics and history, but I
find libertarianism to be not only a flawed approach to political and
social issues...but also a dangerous one.

Libertarianism reminds me of Ayn Rand's Objectivism, which sounds
good and possesses a certain amount of appeal, until you begin to examine
its axioms and unstated assumptions more closely.  I've noticed that the
people who are drawn to libertarianism and objectivism tend to be the same
kind of individuals who are drawn to Marxism.  They are looking for a
single, totalizing theory which will make sense of the worldan
intellectual authority upon which they structure their lives.  In that
respect, the psychological dynamic behind this search for authority is
similar to what one finds with true believers everywhere.  You might want
to read Eric Hoffer.  Both Marxists and Libertarians speak in terms of
absolutes..both have their holy books (the word according to Marx, the
word according to Lysander Spooner and Bastiat, or Ayn Rand says such and
such). But there is a narrowness in the thinking of true believers... a
tendency to reduce very complex issues into absolute terms.  And I
think the problem with this kind of totalitarian mindset is that the
reality IS very complex and multifaceted.

And what happens when the theory doesn't fit the facts?  The theorists
carry on with their wrongheaded policies without paying the price, nor
admitting that they were in error.  An example of this was the war in Viet
Nam.  One of the chief architects of that disastrous policy, Robert
McNamara, was convinced during the sixties that the war was winnable.  All
of his techno/realpolitik expertise had convinced him that the US could
use force to bring about a favorable outcome in Nam.   And we were winning
battles and killing more of the enemy than they killed us...but we still
lost.  Years later, to his credit, he admitted that the combined wisdom of
the experts in the think tanks waas wrong.  Moral of the story?  You can
have a beautifully structured intellectual theory that sounds great on
paper...but when it's put into practice, the results can be completely
disastrous.  Why?  Because human beings, social systems, civilizations and
life itself contain powerful irrational forces that constantly undermine
the best-laid intellectual schemes and theories.  So, I think you must be
leery of Rand, Spooner, Sowell, Bastiat, and "the founding fathers."  If
you were to research their lives, you would find that they were not
necessarily possessors of all truth and wisdom.  In fact, they were often
driven by irrational and less noble impulses than their published writings
would reveal.  I'm not suggesting that you should devalue them; On the
contrary, I'm only suggesting that you see them as whole, complete human
beings who were fallible, flawed and imperfect.

If you doubt that, I think you need to read some of the recent biographies
on Ayn Rand.  Even Rand defenders admit that her relationship with
Nathaniel Branden, her protege, was a troubled and problematic one.

As for Jefferson, an individual that you love to quote, although he freed
his slaves, AFTER his death, the same writer who could write so eloquently
of the rights of man could also walk out the door of his plantation at
Monticello and see the squalid quarters of his slaves.  Jefferson's
relationship with Sally Hemmings is well-documented.

In the case of Adam
Smith, certainly a great economist, it's often overlooked that the great
Adam was an agent of Lord Shelburne, and his Wealth of Nations was more a
product of Britain's desire to cripple American manufacturing than it was
an exercise in disinterested economic theory.

I have no quarrel with many of the insights of Smith, Jefferson, and Rand.
But I think it's ludicrous and absurd to idolize these individuals to such
an extent that you lose sight of their flaws, inconsistencies and
contradictions.  That's why I find the libertarian love for one-liners to
be interesting, but not particularly enlightening.  So many of these
quotes you are fond of, were produced in the eighteenth century or
nineteenth century.. They sound great, but they have little relevance to
1999.

Changing topic: In regard to your belief that social welfare programs can
be equated to theft, I find that amusing.  Our government has been using
taxes to fund any number of different, welfare programs for corporations
for years.  Look at Mr. Weissman's post today.  Clearly, the biggest
welfare queens are not found in housing projects, but in corporate
boardrooms.

But your real target, of course,

 Dear Mr. DeVries:

 SUBJECT: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023-1 T11N, R10W,
 Sec. 20, Montcalm County

 It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental
 Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the
 above-referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the
 legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following
 unauthorized activity: Construction and maintenance of two wood
 debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond. A permit must
 be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A review of
 the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued.

 Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in
 violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural
 Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public
 Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan
 Compiled Laws, annotated.

 The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams
 partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and
 flooding at downstream locations. We find that dams of this nature
 are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted.

 The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all
 unauthorized activities at this location, and to restore the stream
 to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the
 dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be
 completed no later than January 31,1998.

 Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed
 so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff.
 Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized
 activity on the site may result in this case being referred for
 elevated enforcement action.

 We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this
 matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have
 any questions.

 RESPONSE:
 

 Dear Mr. Price:

 Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N, R10W, Sec 20; Montcalm County

 Your certified letter dated 12/17/97 has been handed to me to
 respond to. You sent out a great deal of carbon copies to a lot of
 people, but you neglected to include their addresses.  You will,
 therefore, have to send them a copy of my response.

 First of all, Mr. Ryan De Vries is not the legal landowner and/or
 contractor at 2088 Dagget, Pierson, Michigan - I am the legal owner
 and a couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of
 constructing and maintaining two wood "debris" dams across the
 outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for,
 authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be
 highly offended that you call their skillful use of natural
 building materials "debris." I would like to challenge your
 department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or
 any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way
 you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness,
 their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination
 and/or their dam work ethic.

 As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they
 first must fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of
 dam activity.

 My first dam question to you is: (1) are you trying to discriminate
 against my Spring Pond Beavers or (2) do you require all beavers
 throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are
 not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the
 Freedom of Information Act I request completed copies of all those
 other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued. Perhaps
 we will see if there really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland
 Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental
 Protection Act, Act 451of the Public Acts of 1994,being sections
 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated.

 I have several concerns. My first concern is - aren't the beavers
 entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are
 financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation
 - so the State will have to provide them with a dam lawyer. The
 Department's dam concern that either one or both of the dams failed
 during a recent rain event causing flooding is proof that this is
 a natural occurrence which the department is required to protect.
 In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone
 rather than harassing them and calling their dam names.

 If you want the stream "restored" to a dam free-flow condition -
 please contact the beavers - but if you are going to arrest them
 (they obviously did not pay any attention to your dam letter --

 -Caveat Lector-

Joseph Farah is editor of WorldNetDaily.com and executive director of the
Western Journalism Center, an independent group of investigative reporters.


Executive Order 13107


From where do our rights descend? The Bill of Rights? No. The Constitution?
No. The Federal government? No. The United Nations? Certainly not.

But, apparently, that's what Bill Clinton thinks. For earlier this month,
Dec. 10 to be exact, he issued another one of his infamous executive orders
-- this time on "the implementation of human rights treaties." In Executive
Order 13107, Clinton sets up a new federal bureaucracy for the purpose of
implementing U.N. treaties, whether ratified by the U.S. Senate or not. And
that federal bureaucracy will implement the treaties on the U.N.'s terms.

Sound like a deal? It gets worse.

Though President Clinton said he issued the order to further his goal of
promoting human rights around the world, it's important to understand exactly
how the U.N. defines "human rights."

That definition is offered in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
which talks about the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion,
opinion, and expression. All good stuff, until you realize whom the ultimate
authority is. Who is the sovereign that imparts such blessings upon the
populace of the world?

The answer to that question is stated unequivocally in article 29 of the U.N.
document, which states: "These rights and freedoms may in no case be
exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."

That pretty much explains who the "massa" is and where the plantation
boundaries end. What a stark contrast between the U.N. Declaration of Human
Rights, and the founding documents of the United States of America. The
Declaration of Independence and Constitution both make it clear that basic
human rights are inalienable, meaning they descend from the ultimate
Sovereign, the Creator, God. Therefore, no human authority, no government, no
criminal, no individual can abrogate or abridge those rights.

Remember, any right government can bestow upon a people, it can just as
easily take away. This is a profound principle Americans have forgotten. The
day they accept the principle that rights descend from government authority
is the day they lose their freedoms. It's as simple as that.

In effect, that is what Executive Order 13107 decrees. It's an attempt by
Bill Clinton to persuade Americans that human rights descend not from God but
from worldly government authorities -- with the ultimate authority
represented by the United Nations.

In other words, the U.N. believes people have the right to dissent, unless
it's a dissent against the United Nations. It reminds me of the old Soviet
model. There it was even more bluntly stated: "There can be no place for
freedom of speech, press, and so on for the foes of socialism." Basically,
the U.N. has rewritten that maxim: "There can be no place for freedom of
speech, press, and so on for the foes of the United Nations."

The U.N. practices what it preaches, too. In Bosnia, the U.N. forces have
seized control of radio and TV stations broadcasting pro-Serbian news and
propaganda. In fact, U.S. troops participated in those raids. How does one
justify such actions under the U.S. Constitution, which explicitly recognizes
the rights of all people -- not just Americans -- to speak their minds and
express themselves freely?

Welcome to the Brave New World of U.N. doublespeak. And President Clinton is
dragging the U.S. deeper into this quagmire than has any other president in
history.

Not only does Executive Order 13107 promote an unworthy and dangerous goal,
but the road to that objective, namely the executive order itself the way
Bill Clinton has employed it, is a corrupt and unconstitutional process.

Executive orders are supposed to be a presidential tool for running the
executive branch of government. Clinton has used them freely during his terms
in office to make policy affecting other branches of government, the states,
and individuals. Now, with 13107, he's attempting to implement international
treaties! Executive orders were never intended to be used as imperial orders.

Once again, though, the only people with the authority to curb the misuse of
executive orders are the members of Congress, who have 30 days from the
issuance of an order to reject it by majority vote. Trouble is, they seldom
bother to read them. And the press seldom bothers to cover them -- even when
they represent sweeping new interpretations of human rights and compromises
of U.S. national sovereignty.

It's time for Congress not only to reject Executive Order 13107, but also to
review, in the context of the ongoing impeachment process, all of President
Clinton's more than 200 executive orders. In both substance and in intent,
they represent one of the worst abuses of power in an administration
characterized by abuse of power.

 you translate the manuscripts and codices for yourself, and

there,if we compare it with the Official Bilderberg relase list of
invited guests !

So one can conclude(?) ot hint that :

-Bilderberger watchers have HYPED that annual Conference for monetary
gains-sell docs,books,give conferences,newsletters,etc about evil
Bilderbergers..

-The RELEASED official list of invited guest is a BOGUS one-that is
there is ANOTHER LIST  but rael problems here as many of the political
invited guests will nOT be there-The Pope is now in Poland,Clinton In
US,etc...

-DISINFORMATION,once again-governmental/Bilderberger AGENTS  "leaked the
list"
it was doen INTENTIONALLY..

 So what to conclude ?

Simply that the Bilderberger Conference is NOW an annual DECOY.It has
seved it usefullness.The REAL conference is at another place,under
another name and probably broken into more manageable groups(30-40 ?)
and all are connected via the NET through video-Conferencing..

 One proof is that the  upcoming G-8 Foreign Minister conference that
was supposedly to be held in Cologne this Coming Monday is going to
be(as per latest news) delayed due to TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES...

I think that the real Bild Conference is closer to the meeting of the
G-8 Meeting,under the guise of preparatory meetings for the G-8..It
would eb interestign to see who will be thre let us say 1 week before
the official opening of the G-8 Summit...

The G-8 is just a PR Global job-even mainstream media acknowledges that
the world leaders are just there for photo ops-all has been decided
BEFORE yet the media remains silent as to how it did happened..

Final though-always BEWARE of ex-Spooks(secret service
agents),informers,ex-insiders,etc...they are  ALWAYS agents of
DISINFORMATION...
These people have been used time and time again in the UFO field..Why
do  gullible people keep falling for this ?People are CHOSEN to be
secret.covert,etc agents   with a primordial ingredient-they will stay
LOYAL to the BITTER END..no matter what   and these agents are trained
all their  active life just to do that so that when they leave the
service they WILL remain agents(sleepers).They will NOT TELL... In fact
very FEW DO like Thompson who only told a fraction of what he knows and
look the mess he has gotten into...

So all those "tell them all "going around the UFO circuit,writing
books,putting out videos,on radio/tv talk shows are JUST
ENTERTAINERS,but governmental PAID entertainers..(or fools being
controled)Same case can be made for ex-Bilderbergers etc...

Those with Bilderberger Websites,etc better do some quick accountability
because their credibility is spiralling towards zero...in my books
anyway...Guess they were had too ! Now that is the ultimate
conspiracy-to fool the conspiracy buffs,Bilderberger watchers..

 -Caveat Lector-

William Hugh said,
But I don't think you, Eagle, would really enjoy living in a HUD
subsidized project, would you?  Nor would you enjoy trading places with
a welfare recipient?  Of course not.

For your information,  Mr. Hugh,  I just emerged from this system of
viscious
bureaucracy...  and did it without their help.  I am not young.  My children
are
late life children and are teenagers, now,  one just graduating high school.
So,  I speak from seven years of experience,  not just working with these
people,
but being one of the unfortunate recipients,  as recently as this past
March.

No one except some caring wonderful people from my church and some help
from a local Catholic Samaritan House,  gave a damn enough
to help me get out of this rut trap set by the government to keep people
down.
However,  I found out that with a little perserverance,  and guts,  one CAN
leave this
travesty behind,  brush themselves off and go on without the government's
intervention.

And NO,  the children do not suffer.  All the programs available center
around the child,
not the adult.  The adult who has no children will get virtually nothing,
unless they are
seniors or totally disabled by law.  I have a disability,  but evidentally
68%+ is not
enough to warrant some of the programs available.  It has to be all or
nothing.  I was
tired of seeing my children do without small luxuries that other people were
giving
their children.  I saw that taking my parent's advice to get on these
programs,  to help
me through a difficult time in my life,  was a dire mistake.  Because,  once
you sign the
papers,  you become a statistic at the mercy of the system.  And if you
don't bail out
and TRY to make it without these programs,  they will keep you down,  and
you
develop a co-dependant attitude,  scared to death that you cannot make it
without
their help.  OR,  they will throw you out,  with nothing.

I bailed,  and I wish to God I'd done it five years ago...  but I was afraid
my children
would have nothing.  Now I realize my children have had nothing because I
was on
the system.  Believe me,  if I can bail and make it,  anyone can!

So,  from experience,  I disagree.
Thanks for your comments though.
I did enjoy reading yours and several others'.

Your points are well taken, E.  There's always a certain percentage of the
population that is unable to work for a variety of physical/psychological
reasons...disabilities, mental health problems, etc.   Also, you must take
into consideration that all of us are subject to "the thousand natural
shocks which flesh is heir to..."

The biological clock works against human beings  When you're in your
twenties, you can spend hours upon hours doing heavy physical labor, and
your physical body is resilient and strong enough to take the stress
(Of course, years later, your body will show the effects of those carefree
earlier years.)  But after a certain point in time, you no longer can
perform as well as an eighteen year old.  Corporations know thisnotice
how the preferred worker in industrial America is usually very
young...with few health problems...  In order to take advantage of all of
those strong resilient younger bodies, the corporations often place their
factories out in the middle of the corn belt in order to take advantage of
that cheap and healthy labor supply.  Of course, after they've used you,
they let you go.

Am I against this kind of dynamic?  Well, there's not much we can do about
it...  But I would only point out that framing the issue in terms of "free
ride" tends to reduce things down to a very narrow, simplistic and,
ultimately, distorted level.  The issue is a bit more complicated.

First off, the government subsidizes businesses, bails out foreign despots
around the world, while it simultaneously also does a splendid job of
ensuring that those
who have will get more  This more spectacular "free ride" at
taxpayer's expense tends to be ignored.

Instead, the argument about government "handouts" tends to be centered
around the very visible millions of have-nots in our society.  The less
conspicuous "welfare queens" who live in Grosse Pointe, Westchester,
Bel-Air and the hills above Palo Alto are not targeted.

When the Mexican peso bailout (handout) was arranged in order to save the
bad investments of American investors, both political parties signed onto
it with hardly a squeek of protest.

OK. So you're righteously against all of these giveaways and we find
common ground on this point.  Great.

I would only suggest to you that in my experience, I have never found
anyone who is actually proud of having to receive financial assistance
from the government.  Of course, I've seen many lazy and
dishonest

  1.  An executive order is a  presidential decree or edict that assumes the
force of law if it is not challenged by Congress within 30 days of signing.
They are printed in the Federal Register.

I have yet to find a law that authorizes an Executive Order and have been
searching for several months.  Does anyone know by what law these are
authorized?  If they are not authorized then they are bogus and should be
removed from the Federal Register as ravings from a lunatic President, not
just Clinton, but all former Presidents as well.  Obviously the Constitution
does not give the President the authority to make laws.

Regards,
Bob Stokes  See below to help Helen Chenoweth


Posted previously by Peter L. Sroufe:

I have a courageous nonprofit, public interest
law firm on my side: MOUNTAIN STATES LEGAL FOUNDATION.

 You see, as a Member of Congress, I couldn't afford to hire a
team of high-priced lawyers to take on the hundreds of Justice
Department attorneys Clinton has working for him.

 If it weren't for the MOUNTAINS STATES LEGAL FOUNDATION
(MSLF), I would have been all by myself against the President and
his team of TAXPAYER-FUNDED lawyers.

 But MSLF agreed to help me with my historic case.

 And they agreed to do it FREE OF CHARGE!

 Don't be mistaken, this is going to be a very expensive case
for MSLF to handle.

 But helping the American people fight big government is what
MSLF does best.

 Still, in order to make sure we win against Bill Clinton and
his army of lawyers, we need YOUR crucial help.

   First, we need to show that the public will not stand for
Bill
Clinton's unconstitutional plot to make himself dictator.

 And to be heard, we need to receive an outpouring of public
support.

 Will you please send your most generous gift possible
to help Mountain States Legal Foundation pay for the many costs
involved with this historic case?

 Your crucial $50, $100, $250, $500 or even $1000 shows that
that you believe America is still a nation of laws. And that Bill
Clinton is not above the Constitution.

 Or if that is too much to ask right now, could you please help
out with an urgent gift of $20 or $35?

 It will certainly cost you more than $35 if Bill Clinton wins
and is allowed to pass any big-government plan he pleases!

 And remember, Mountain States Legal Foundation is a nonprofit
organization.

 So your gift to help this vital project and all of MSLF's work
is tax-ductible.

 I hope you can include your tax-deductible gift of $20,
$35 or more to help the great folks at Mountain States Legal
Foundation stand by my side in this important battle.

 Thanks for being someone I can count on!

Now, what is this on Helen Chenoweth's parta legal scam?

Now, I was not aware an Executive Order could be challenged legally; I
thought Executive Orders were policies of government.

But a check to Helen Chenoweth for legal fees?   For  a non-profit
organization.

You know years ago, my boss who then was a Mayor used to call for
meetings
prior to a Council meeting to discuss certain matter; nobody ever showed
up.

One day, in open Council, he asked why.  The reason, they never read
their packets until the night of Council and therefore, had not read the
Mayor's request..

Apparently Chenoweth and some of the Congressmen need a briefing on the
law and their duties as representatives; but then, who do we have in
Congresspeople like whatshername, Sonny Bono's wife, whom some
believed caused his murder in an arranged accident, who stressed her
husband was on drugs..and look around the country and ask yourself,
are anyone of these people operating with a full deck?

Take that money you would give to her the poor woman; what is a
congressman's salary now, $120 thousand dollars a year or so with some
expenses.poor, poor woman.

Wonder if she will make it next election; I doubt it, if she is that

To read the entire bill go to http://thomas.loc.gov and ask for HR 1790.

States have just submitted huge bioterrorism initiative grants to DHHS. The
grants describe each state's plan to use their share of the big porkbarrel
billion dollar bioterrorism initiative passed last year. Public health
people are rationalizing this militarization of public health (to quote
Donna Shalala) as a way to build public health infrastructure.

HR1790 and the bioterroism initiative are scary new attacks on American

Sunday Times, 7 Feb 1999

No throne but plenty of ammunition

NICOLA KOZ and JAN HENNOP

 ALBANIA's  exiled King Leka I, who lives in Johannesburg,
surrounds himself with heavily armed bodyguards wherever he goes.
 Described by some as an "entrepreneur", the Fourways
businessman is the son of King Zog, a former army officer who, in
1928, crowned himself Albania's first king, 16 years after this
former province of the Ottoman empire became autonomous.
 Zog fled the country 11 years later, allegedly with the
country's gold, when the Italian fascist leader Benito
Mussolini's troops invaded. Leka was only three days old at the
time.
 Schooled in Egypt, Leka was trained at the British military
academy Sandhurst and had the late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia as
a godfather.
 He was obviously being groomed [from birth] to retake the
throne.
 The so-called royal minister of court, Abedin Mulosmanaj,
once said:  "From the moment he was born there was a gun under
his pillow and he has worn it all his life."
 According to reports, Leka has been open [in the past]
about the "army in exile" he built here and in Spain.
 He inherited the Albanian crown in 1961 on the death of his
father and has spent most of his life in exile,  mostly in
various European countries.
 In 1979 Leka was expelled from Spain. He lived briefly in
the then Rhodesia until the Albanian-trained troops of Robert
Mugabe took power, and was later jailed in Thailand on charges
related to gunrunning.
 He moved to South Africa with his wife, Queen Susan, and
their family in the early 1980s.
 In recent years Leka has devoted a large part of his time to
politics and the restoration of the monarchy in Albania.
 He returned to Albania in April 1997 after nearly 60 years
in exile when the government authorised his return. He visited
the rebel-held Vlore to test support for his bid to restore the
monarchy to the lawless republic.
 However, he accused the country's socialists of robbing him
of victory after he lost in the referendum..
 The Socialist Party leader, Fatos Nano, in turn accused Leka
and the autocratic right-wing president, Sali Berisha, of
conspiring to foment the chaos that erupted across the country in
1997 after the collapse of notorious pyramid schemes in which
over half of all Albanians had invested money.
 Leka returned to South Africa after the referendum but,
before his departure from the country he claims is his kingdom,
he said: "I'll never really leave Albania. If the monarchy loses
I'll have to go back to Johannesburg as I have a lot of work."
 During his first visit (in April 1997) thousands of people
were massed in to the main square when his motorcade made an
entrance to the port, the centre of Albania's insurrection
against President Sali Berisha. He reportedly strode through the
crowd to place a wreath at the grave of Ismail Qemali, the father
of Albania's independence.

HARD-CORE CACHE: Some of the weapons seized from Leka's house in
Fourways. Picture Jon Hrusa.

CALL TO ARMS: Leka Zog, the would-be king of Albania, wearing a
paramilitary camouflage uniform and weaponary as he talks to a
crowd in central Tirana. Leka will wil appear in a Randburg court
tomorrow following his arrest for possession of illegal weapons.

tries to help people, it does a miserable job.  Why?  Because in case you
haven't noticed, for the most part, Americans, in general, hate the poor
and the working class.

I can prove my point quite easily.  The average worker in 1999 earns LESS
than she did in 1978.  The wages of American working men and women have
fallen during the past twenty-five years, while the income of the top ten
percent have experienced a phenomenal increase that is unprecedented in
terms of American economic history.  If you look at every other
industrialized nation in the developed world, none of them have
experienced this kind of widening gap between the haves and have-nots.
And what has our reactionary corporate dominated government done in
response to the economic downturn for the bottom eighty percent of the
American population?  Worse than nothing.   The social safety net has
been dismantled.

The welfare system in America is designed to be punitive and humiliating,
not helpful.  Surely, you realize this.  The whole
purpose of the welfare system is designed to get people back into the
workforce.  Also, do you really believe it's accidental that the country
is constantly flooded with millions of illegal aliens and refugees to
be added to the surplus labor pool?  Poverty must be maintained, supported
and institutionalized in our nation.  Poverty and human misery is good for
business.  If people are desperate enough, they'll work for anything, do
anything to stay alive.  Your quarrel is not with me, Eagle, but with our
system.

I want a government that takes
into account the best economic interests of its citizens.  And you know
what?  We could have such a system, but we would have to reverse about
thirty-five years of misguided economic/social policies...policies pushed
by BOTH political parties.

 For your information,  Mr. Hugh,  I just emerged from this system of
 viscious
 bureaucracy...  and did it without their help.  I am not young.  My children
 are
 late life children and are teenagers, now,  one just graduating high school.
 So,  I speak from seven years of experience,  not just working with these
 people,
 but being one of the unfortunate recipients,  as recently as this past
 March.

 No one except some caring wonderful people from my church and some help
 from a local Catholic Samaritan House,  gave a damn enough
 to help me get out of this rut trap set by the government to keep people
 down.
 However,  I found out that with a little perserverance,  and guts,  one CAN
 leave this
 travesty behind,  brush themselves off and go on without the government's
 intervention.

 And NO,  the children do not suffer.  All the programs available center
 around the child,
 not the adult.  The adult who has no children will get virtually nothing,
 unless they are
 seniors or totally disabled by law.  I have a disability,  but evidentally
 68%+ is not
 enough to warrant some of the programs available.  It has to be all or
 nothing.  I was
 tired of seeing my children do without small luxuries that other people were
 giving
 their children.  I saw that taking my parent's advice to get on these
 programs,  to help
 me through a difficult time in my life,  was a dire mistake.  Because,  once
 you sign the
 papers,  you become a statistic at the mercy of the system.  And if you
 don't bail out
 and TRY to make it without these programs,  they will keep you down,  and
 you
 develop a co-dependant attitude,  scared to death that you cannot make it
 without
 their help.  OR,  they will throw you out,  with nothing.

 I bailed,  and I wish to God I'd done it five years ago...  but I was afraid
 my children
 would have nothing.  Now I realize my children have had nothing because I
 was on
 the system.  Believe me,  if I can bail and make it,  anyone can!

 So,  from experience,  I disagree.
 Thanks for your comments though.
 I did enjoy reading yours and several others'.

 -Caveat Lector-

Mr. Turnstall,
First of all,  your assumption that I am mad,  is wrong.
Not at all.  As a matter of fact,  I am extremely happy to have my
FREEDOM back.  :-))

Secondly...
I was not quarreling with you . . .
I was merely commenting,  after your previous comments.

Thirdly...
The government should NOT be providing much of anything,  except perhaps,
a small amount of HELP for a short period of time,  and should be
originating
not only education,  but also providing a springboard,  in a job to help
build
some self-worth and self-esteem back into people who,  as you said,  and
I agree,  have been punished and humiliated by these programs...
(I know. ...  been there,  done that,  and bought the t-shirt).  but rather
providing
jobs,  so that people who do want a chance to get off the program have an
opportunity to start earning a living,  instead of pleading to hand them a
living.

Most of these people do not want to be on these programs,  but you have
many factions,  including the elitists who WANT people down and out on the
programs,  and this is why you have people such as the liberal democrats
passing laws,  without knowing the real dynamics of poverty...  they can
only
imagine it,  because they have never been in such a situation,  nor,  shall
they
in this life most likely ever experience it.  (And too bad...  they might
learn some
priceless lessons about life, true liberty,  and true freedom).

I vary to differ with you about most Americans hating the poor,  or the
working
class.  What would they do without them?  No, rather,   they love them!
As long as the poor,  the depraved and the working class exist, the elitists
will play
corporate and governmental hopscotch across their backs,  while they get
wealthier and wealthier,  off the middle class people's dimes.  But,  lest I
discount
American Freedom and the Liberty to pursue happiness and the American Dream,
it seems there is an alternate solution,  leaving capitalism in place,
without
bringing liberalism aka: "socialism" to the front of the stage.
That is why I hire government officials,  i.e. by voting them in or out of
office,
to maintain some sanity and structure,  without the government running every
aspect of America's private lives.

I worked for a man who is around number 54 in Forbes...  who has so much
money,
that his great great great grandchildren can live and die without spending
it all.
Will he help those workers who have worked their behinds off,  by the sweat
of their brow,  and whom he only pays pennies to for work that is worth
twice
as much as he pays?  NO!  He won't.  Because there is always someone in
line who says,  "I'll do the job for less pay".

When I was sent back to work,  the first time after my injury...  most of
the ethnic
people who worked there had been replaced with Laocian and Viet Namese.  The
workplace changed so as to incorporate three bulletin boards,  instead of
one;  it
changed to incorporate two break rooms instead of one. Communications
dropped
to an all time low,  as most of them could not speak English, and we had to
have
interpretors come in to speak in their languages when we had meetings. The
meetings
took twice as long,  and were not nearly as effective. The whole genre of
the
area changed,  to look as though they were appealing to those who worked for
less,
while putting those who had time,  and seniority out looking for other jobs,
and
for the most part,  leaving,  as hours were cut,  so those who would take
less and
work less hours,  could replace anyone who might ask for a bit more.   This
owner
was and still is a slave driver.  His empire should reflect a plantation
house,  instead
of the building looming on the skyline as something out of Star Wars.

I was injured at work,  while also going to college.  THIS is why I was told
to
take these programs.  I must say though,
my children had the best doctors,  all the best medical/dental coverage
possible,  and they never had an empty cabinet or refrigerator.  Clothes,
were
mostly second hand. (Freebies from the local thrift store,  who had a give
away day,
because after utility bills were paid,  we had no 'luxury' money).  Often we
didn't even
have enough to buy personal products or disinfectants,  including soap,
except
once a month,  the thrift store might have some in stock,  but it was rare.

And you bet I have a quarrel with the government.  I've placed my
complaints,
and I am getting action.  They don't want their internal dirty laundry
exposed.

I still say,  that if I can buckle down,  bail out of government programs
with an
injury,  anyone can.

And like I said,  when we get some sanity in the White House,  and in the
other
branches...  we might see some reverse in poverty and depravity.
I do agree with you though...
 We could have such a system, but we would have to reverse about
thirty-five years of misguided economic/social policies...policies pushed

Politics
'99 May 20

What follows is one of the bitingest little articles on the Prez. that I've
ever read. Enjoy! And if you want to read more by Christopher Hitchens, go
to the Christopher Hitchens Web.
Reproduction of the latest Christopher Hitchens
"Minority Report" from The Nation Magazine
(Febr16, 1998 issue)

Clinton's Comeuppance

Late in her life, Lillian Hellman was onstage at some campus event, and was
asked why she had never endorsed gay liberation. Leaning over her cane and
peering at the back of the hall through heavy dark glasses, she replied in
raspy but lapidary words. "The forms of fucking," she said, "do not require
my endorsement." One had one's disagreements with the old girl, but this
time, it would be nice to think, she spoke for us all. Half the pundits and
windbags in the continental United States have been rushing to say, with
less wit and less courage, that William Jefferson Clinton's "private" life
is, or should be, his own affair. We're all adults...let's get on with the
nation's business...what if this should give the market a tsura?
Which is not to say quite the same thing. Rape, incest, child prostitution,
intern abuse and the humping of the help are all, also, "forms of fucking,"
but they equally certainly don't require endorsement. And I, on the day that
the fragrant Monica Lewinsky broke cover, had been much more interested in
establishing the identity of the "senior Republican," cited in The New York
Times, who had told the South Korean dictators to go ahead and execute Kim
Dae Jung in 1980. I still am more interested. That doesn't make the Clinton
libido irrelevant. If the recent freshet of J.F.K. books has made anything
plain, it is that there may well be a connection between machismo Type A
(Kennedy's disgusting admiration for Ian Fleming's fiction as it related to
women) and machismo Type B (Kennedy's even more repellent admiration for Ian
Fleming's James Bond solutions in the political sphere). Between power and
the aphrodisiac, as the clammy Kissinger used to be overfond of saying,
there is a well-understood connection. You don't have to be a Reichian to
propose that a sick libido may connote, or may lead to, baseness in
politics. And/or vice versa.

I was a contemporary of Clinton's at Oxford, and though I didn't know him
personally (he was a moderate while I was an extremist), I did know several
members of his set. And I still do know three women who kept company with
him. I'll call them Sarah Maitland, Mandy Merck and Pip Northey, because
those are their names. They were all strong, clever, tough and attractive.
They still are. They all reported "Bill" to be a real gentleman, a good
companion and a sensitive confidant, and they have all resolutely refused to
gossip about him ever since, though in at least one case there were letters
that might have fetched a bundle. This is impressive testimony. Of course,
in those days Clinton also maintained a minimum of seriousness about civil
rights, the war and the subversion of American democracy by the "national
security" apparat. Stuff like that.

Here is what I think must have happened. It's borne out in the two best
Clinton biographies, by David Maraniss and Roger Morris. Sizzling with
ambition and also with the deadly need for approval, "Bill" soon found that
professional politics was a no-brainer for someone as plausible and sinuous
as himself. He was drawn very early on by the glamour and the razzmatazz
side of the business, and also by the easy money and the easy women.
("Politics," as someone once said, "is show business for ugly people.") He
would give himself a makeover at the drop of an opinion poll. He learned to
be economical with the truth, and saw this hailed as cleverness and skill.
He caught the eye of the people who look for reliable "candidates"--most
especially that safe "New Democrat" kind of candidate.

Well, you know how it is. You need the charm less and less, and there is
less and less time for attentive wooing. Money trees can be shaken. Arms can
be twisted. Likely lasses can be ordered like pizza, and may not always be
chosen for their sophistication. The evident coarsening and thuggishness of
Clinton's political evolution, and the way he prostituted himself to any and
every special interest, could have its carnal counterpart. Could have? How
else to explain his best-ever friend, Dick Morris, who has bragged about
procuring him babes and whose sordid public manners debauched an entire
presidential election? (There may be some right-wing creeps behind Paula
Jones and even Linda Tripp, but they can't be as right-wing or as creepy as
Dick Morris.) With both Morris and Clinton, women were part of the spoils

March of 1933 and that this has never been lifted. If I am not correct about

  But helping the American people fight big government is what
 MSLF does best.

  Still, in order to make sure we win against Bill Clinton and
 his army of lawyers, we need YOUR crucial help.

First, we need to show that the public will not stand for
 Bill
 Clinton's unconstitutional plot to make himself dictator.

  And to be heard, we need to receive an outpouring of public
 support.

  Will you please send your most generous gift possible
 to help Mountain States Legal Foundation pay for the many costs
 involved with this historic case?

  Your crucial $50, $100, $250, $500 or even $1000 shows that
 that you believe America is still a nation of laws. And that Bill
 Clinton is not above the Constitution.

  Or if that is too much to ask right now, could you please help
 out with an urgent gift of $20 or $35?

  It will certainly cost you more than $35 if Bill Clinton wins

  And remember, Mountain States Legal Foundation is a nonprofit

1999-06-05 Thread Kris Millegan







http://www.compura.com/hess/index3.htm

Newly Discovered Scottish Documents provide further proof that it was not
the real Rudolf Hess who died in Spandau prison.

In 1996, Walter Rudolf Hess's Iron Cross was auctioned at Bonhams in London.
With the cross was a box of documents including original eye witness
accounts, photographs of the landing strip at Dungavel, as well as the Duke
of Hamilton's original Statement.

These papers prove that Churchill knew of Hess's mission twenty-four hours
before Hess landed in Scotland.

These manuscript letters and papers became the key which opened the door to
other collections of undisclosed and secret documents pertaining to Rudolf
Hess, the deputy Fuhrer, and his peace flight to Scotland during World War
Two.

They have also revealed evidence that the prisoner who was kept and died in
Spandau was not Rudolf Hess. Official medical examination reports and x-ray
carried out on Rudolf Hess within 48 hours of his landing in Scotland
confirm Dr. Hugh Thomas, British military surgeon at Spandau, in his
conclusions that prisoner no.7 was not Walter Rudolf Hess.

The cache of papers which includes first-hand accounts, hitherto unpublished
material and photographs, adds a further dimension to the conspiracy for
peace that brought Hess to Scotland.

Further research also revealed documents belonging to the then Lord Provost
of Glasgow (1941), Polish papers, Swedish diplomatic documents and the diary
style notes of the wartime Air correspondent of the Glasgow Herald, Fred
Nancarrow, who died in mysterious circumstances in September 1942. He was
not the only person involved to meet untimely death.

The documents and photographs provide irrefutable proof that Hess intended
landing his aircraft at Dungavel airstrip, owned by the Duke of Hamilton,
and show an agreement existed that Hess would be refuelled and allowed to
return to Germany within three days, after the peace discussions. They also
reveal that the group suing for peace on the allied side encompassed most
European Royal households and that those delegated to meet Hess included
General Sikorsky, Guards Officer Colonel Pilcher, the Duke of Buccleuch, the
Earl of Suffolk, and the King's brother the Duke of Kent, who had been
offered the Polish throne after the war ended.

Had these negotiations been successful, millions of lives could have been
saved, Europe spared economic destruction, communism would have been
contained and the USA would not have emerged as the only Superpower.

The meeting was the culmination of a series which had taken place in Spain,
organised through the Swedish Royal family, by their representative Baron
Knut Bonde.

Winston Churchill learned of Hess's plans via spies working in the
Messcherschmitt factory, he cancelled all leave in the landing area and
arranged a light armoured exercise to take place, on the moor, surrounding
Dungavel.

A manuscript containing the above and many other undisclosed factors in the
Hess story is in preparation. It will at last reveal the true story of what
has become the greatest legend of the second World War, and perhaps the best
kept secret of this century. These revelations coincide with the 10th
anniversary of the death of the man who never was.

http://www.compura.com/hess/herald1.htm
Hess had been under the delusion that the Duke of Hamilton and other members
of the British establishment would be willing to discuss peace terms with
Germany, and that the common enemy was Stalin's Soviet Union.

The peace proposals were never taken seriously and he was later sentenced at
Nuremberg to life imprisonment for war crimes. For 20 years, Hess was the
lone inmate at Spandau prison. The prison was torn down after his death to
prevent it becoming a neo-Nazi rallying point.

However, numerous investigators have questioned this official version. One
theory is that the Rudolf Hess may have been kidnapped by Special Operation
Executive agents, taken to a secret location in Scotland, interrogated, and
may subsequently have been executed. A doppelganger, or double, may have
been planted by SOE in a bid to demoralise and confuse the Nazi leadership.

Dr Hugh Thomas, who looked after Prisoner No.7 in Spandau, has consistently
claimed he was not the real Hess.

The new research, however, adds a confusing twist to the doppelganger
theory. The authors claim that it was indeed the real Hess who landed in
Scotland, but he later died and was "replaced" by British intelligence with
a doppelganger.

It was essential to maintain the pretence that Hess was still alive, the
authors argue, because of fears that should the Nazis suspect he had been
ill-treated or even murdered this would have an adverse effect on the
treatment meted out to captured British officers.

British intelligence was also aware the Nazi leadership had been thrown into
confusion with Hess's defection and was keen to exploit it

It has never been satisfactorily explained, however, who this mysterious
"double" was, nor why the fiction had to be maintained.

One peculiar aspect of the "auld alliance" between France and Scotland
(founded on the common enmity with England) was the existence of French
titles held by Scots nobles. These notes discuss three known cases: the
earls of Douglas, the Stuarts of Darnley and the earl of Arran. They also
discuss the case of another Scottish family which was granted a quarter of
France in their arms, namely and Kennedy. Finally, the case of Montgomerie
is discussed: their arms are identical with those of France, but it seems to
be a coincidence.

Introduction
1415 had been a bad year for France: the army of Henry V of England defeated
the French at Agincourt (Azincourt in French) and the French nobility was
decimated. English troops occupied Northern France, and the treaty of Troyes
(1420) was imposed on the mad king Charles VI and his divided court. The
treaty provided for the marriage of Henry V with Charles VI's daughter, and
the accession of Henry V to the French throne upon the death of Charles VI,
passing over the Dauphin Charles, son of Charles VI.

The second Earl of Arran was made Regent while Mary, Queen of Scots was
still a child and he attempted to marry his son to her to secure the Throne
for his family. This union did not take place and Mary was married to the
Prince of France, the Dauphin. The Earl was created Duke of Chatelhault in
the French peerage in 1548 for his part in the marriage arrangements.

After the death of the Dauphin, Hamilton again hoped fro a union into his
own family and was sent into exile in 1561 when he openly opposed the
marriage of the Queen to Lord Darnley. He did however try to save the
ill-fated Queen after her escape from Loch Leven.

The 4th Earl of Arran and 3rd Duke of Chatelhault became Chancellor of
Scotland and keeper of the castles of Stirling and Endinburgh. He was
advanced to the rank of Marquess in 1599. Another branch of the family is
descended from his brother, Claude, who was made Lord Paisley in 1587 and
later created Lord Abercorn. Abercorn was later raised to an earldom and
finally a Dukedom in 1868.

In reward for the 3rd Marquess' support, Charles I made Hamilton the premier
peer in Scotland elevating him to a Duke. He led and army into England to
rescue Charles I but was defeated at Preston in 1648. He was beheaded in
1649.

The title fell to the Duke's daughetr Anne who married William Douglas, Earl
of Selkirk. Her son the 4th Duke, died in a duel in London in 1712. The 5th
and 6th Dukes extended the palace and built the splendid hunting lodge named

in America. Captain Archibald Kennedy was an officer in the Royal Navy who
held estates in Hoboken in New Jersey and became the greatest property owner
in New York. He tried to be neutral during the American War of Independence,
and was accordingly mistrusted by both sides. Half of his New York
properties were confiscated, including number 1, Broadway, which was
appropriated by George Washington. His son, the twelfth Earl, was a close
friend of the Duke of Clarence, who, on his coronation as William IV,
created him Marquess of Ailsa. The second Marquess, Archibald Kennedy, was
killed in a hunting accident in 1870. His son succeeded to the title at the
age of twenty-two, and after his death in 1938 the family title was borne by
each of his three sons in turn.

First of all, warning , the above topic coul not be taken too
seriously, i prefer to refer to it as a current genealogical
claiming,even though "not true one".

This discussion will consist of two parts:
A.first one , which will cover the jewish-ethiopian origin of
Mountbattens, and through that lineage the future heirs of british
throne.The article is taken from
http://www2.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/secret/famous/pushkingene
alogy.html and cover the "african"
B.second one, dedicated to the analysis of Bagratids` genealogy from the
Cleopa, brother of Jack,"step-father of Messuah",to first Bagrat. The
main source is Varkhutsi Bagrationi`s book "The history of Georgia" both
with Stewen Baldwin`s speculations on that account.The genalogy starts
with Cleopa,goes through numberous generations to the house of ikshans
of Armenia and kings of Georgia.Kings of Armenia entered into maritial
relations with byzantine and bulgarian princes, through those marriages
a plenty of daughters of byzantine dynasts was given as wifes to western
princes, such as emperors of H.R.E.O.G.N, kings of Hungary etc,and many
of Rurikids also concluded the marriage with greek
princesses.Of course, it would not be hard to trace the relations
between Arpads, Rurikids, Comnens etc and the head of present ruling
houses.Even with ease!

Part1.Dedicated to Bicenntiary Celebretion of Pushkin`s Birth
(08.06.1799)

I have put the complete article here:
"Although the vast majority of African Americans are unfamiliar with
Pushkin's monumental works, most students of literature
are at least aware of his "Blackamoor of Peter the Great," an unfinished
romance which relates the biographical data of the
poet's great-grandfather, Ibrahim Petrovitch Gannibal his black great-
grandfather.

Some early critics wrongly suspected that Pushkin attempted to
aggrandize the African lineage of this black forebear by playing up the
family tradition that he was an Ethiopian princeling. However, Pushkin
certainly did not need to embellish his ancestor's own personal history.
For the accomplishments of Ibrahim Petrovitch Gannibal are proof of what
any man -despite his colour - could rise to, given the opportunity.
Ibrahim was treated as no less than a member of the royal family at
court.

   To a divine rights monarch like Peter whose relationship to a nation
of serfs was entirely paternalistic, a child as a personal gift or
possession could only be regarded as one of his own kith and kin.
Indeed, at the eight-year old Ibrahim's baptism, the Emperor himself was
his godfather, while his godmother was the Queen of Poland.
(the wife of Stanislav Leszynsky? or of August?)
   Although, as we now realize, no Blackamoor at any 18th century
European court was merely decorative, in Ibrahim's case, Peter's
expectations for him were as loaded with responsibility as those he
would have had for his own son. If he was the Emperor whose patriotic
duty it was to drag Russia spiritually and intellectually out of its
Byzantine backwardness and into the future of the Enlightenment, then it
would literally be Ibrahim's responsibility to care for his adopted
country's physical formation and his defence of it.
In 1717 the young blackamoor was sent to France for an education in both
civil and military engineering. He studied at the Ecole
d'Artillerie of La Fere under the brilliant Bernard Forest de Belidor
and afterwards, at the Ecole d'Artillerie of Metz, an institution
founded by the illustrious Sebastien Le Preste, Marquis de Vauban.

Besides the education which prepared him for his long life of
government service, Ibrahim returned from France with something he
obviously regarded just as importantly - a name. Like any black kid
today reaching back through time to clutch at whatever historical straw
of affirmation he can reach for, Ibrahim not only identified as his
model but appropriated as his surname that of the Carthaginian general,
Hannibal. Although it could be argued that like Hannibal, he knew that
he too would soon enough attain the rank of general, Ibrahim's choice
probably betrayed an almost adolescent edge of race conscious defiance
considering the threat this Punic potentate had once posed to Rome.
Perhaps a better understanding of what Ibrahim intended to imply with
his new name can be

What a surprise!  Some politicians are secretly driven by RELIGIOUS beliefs?

 "We know this report will strike some as bizarre," declared PDQ
Director Cliff Hangar, "but this movement of anti-environmentalists and
anti-human rights advocates is itself bizarre. It is also 'religious' in
nature.
There is, in fact, a church which treats the natural and this life as things
to
be reviled. Its members maintain religious altars featuring symbols of death
like the crucifix, once used in ancient Rome to intimidate those who might
question the state's authority, since it was used as a mode of execution.

The evidence shows that this anti-nature spirit, sometimes called 'God,'
is a reality to them," said noted journalist Hangar, author of this report.

 In the wake of the "Afterlife Summit" activities occurring behind closed
doors in Washington this week, Hangar said belief in this "God" bears
serious
scrutiny from the mainstream press. "It appears as if some of the
politicized
aggression and punitiveness is driven by a religious fanaticism that
embraces
the 'God' concept," Hangar said. "They want to 'reject this world' because to
them anything natural, physical, healthy and joyful is 'satanic'."

 A New, Improved Cold War

 OH, HOW THE HEARTS of us old-timers leaped up when Russian negotiator
 Viktor Chernomyrdin began tossing threats around last week. Indict
 Milosevic, would we? Well, Russia might very well suspend its peace
 efforts, end military-technological cooperation with the West, delay
 the Start II nuclear arms treaty, and veto whatever's going on in the
 United Nations.

 Maybe we're being optimistic, but -- callooh! callay! -- this could
 well be the start of Cold War II.

 Think of the blessings. A decent Cold War would put an end to the
 vague dissatisfaction and drift that plagues our aimless nation.
 Nothing unites a country more than a mutual enemy. It's fear and
 loathing that stimulate unbridled patriotism. With Russia back in the
 nuclear trenches, we could once again march forward in common purpose.


 Dad could once again enjoy healthy exercise out in the backyard
 digging the family's little bomb shelter. Mom could once again bustle
 about the kitchen, putting up preserves for the coming Armageddon. And
 Junior could be in school, once again practicing duck and cover under
 his desk in order to save himself from thermonuclear bombs -- rather
 than the gunfire of his fellow students.

 Life would be far more exciting. Politicians could rant about ``The
 Evil Empire'' and revive such stirring battle cries as ``Better Dead
 than Red!''

 Hollywood would be overjoyed to have honest-to- goodness villains once
 again. No one has been driven to more desperate straits by the great
 villain shortage than the movie makers. Remember ``Air Force One''?
 The bad guys were actually from the little former Soviet republic of
 Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan our most dreaded enemy? Only for fifth graders
 in spelling bees.

 Cold War I admittedly had a few drawbacks, but we learn from our
 mistakes. I'm sure we'll avoid bloody, pointless, ancillary wars like
 Vietnam or Afghanistan. Instead, we'll concentrate on one big Cold War
 II. And there's one fine thing about a Cold War. If it's properly
 conducted, no one gets hurt.

 Look how we're raining death and destruction from safe altitudes on
 the Serbs in a classic example of bad sportsmanship. But if Cold War
 II were raging, Milosevic would be a puppet of Moscow. Would we risk a
 nuclear holocaust just to take out a Russian puppet? Not on your life.


 Economically, Cold War II would be a godsend. We certainly wouldn't
 spend trillions this time on new warheads and missiles. The 10,000 or
 so already in our arsenal are surely enough. Best of all, we would be
 spared shipping billions of dollars to the Russians to shore up their
 teetering economy. What are enemies for?

 Of course, the Chinese might jealously demand a part in Cold War II.
 But we know pretty much what weapons the Chinese have. And the way our
 missiles have been falling out of the sky lately, we clearly don't
 have much to worry about.

 So you have to hand it to Mr. Clinton and his handling of the Kosovo
 crisis. If he hadn't plunged us into this Balkan civil war, the onset
 of Cold War II would never have stood a chance.

 That's our president -- always thinking of our welfare.

 No Double Standards on War Criminals Alexander CockburnJune 3, 1999

 Compared to Bill Clinton and his accomplices, Slobo is a piker when it
 comes to war crimes. Take Iraq. The sanctions imposed by the United
 States in 1991 have had a notoriously devastating effect on Iraq's
 civilian population, particularly the children.

 By the end of 1995 alone, the United Nations Food and Agriculture
 Organization said that after careful investigation, it had determined
 that as many as 576,000 Iraqi children have died as a result of
 sanctions. Using figures from Iraq's Ministry of Health, the World
 Health Organization estimated that 90,000 Iraqis were dying every year
 in Iraq's hospitals, over and above those who would have expired at
 the normal rate. In sum, it is beyond argument that the United States
 has engineered a program of enforced scarcity that has caused the
 deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

 In the final months of World War II, the Nazis tried to delay the
 advance of the Allies by opening the dikes in Holland. The man issuing
 this order was the German high commissioner in Holland, Seyss-Inquart.
 By the end of 1944, about 500,000 acres of land had been flooded,
 leading to what historian Gabriel Kolko called "the most precipitous
 decline in food consumption any West European country suffered during
 the war." Of the 195 Nazis indicted at Nuremberg, Seyss-Inquart was
 one of 24 sentenced to death.

 I don't have the trial transcript at hand, but no doubt Seyss-Inquart
 was asked why he had opened the dikes. Perhaps he answered in the same
 words used by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. In 1996, Albright
 was asked the following question on CBS' "60 Minutes" by Lesley Stahl:
 "We have heard that half a million children have died (in Iraq). I
 mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And you know, is
 the price worth it?" Albright infamously replied, "I think this is a
 very hard choice, but the price -- we think the price is worth it."

 So, back in Nuremberg time, Albright would certainly have been
 condemned and maybe hanged, if the standards applied to Seyss-Inquart
 had been leveled against her and if she had been on the losing side.
 So would her commanding officer, Bill Clinton.

 The protocols of the Geneva Convention of 1949 prohibit bombing not
 justified by clear military necessity. If there is any likelihood the
 target has a civilian function, then bombing is forbidden. NATO's
 bombers have damaged and often destroyed hospitals and health-care
 centers, public housing, infrastructure vital to the well-being of
 civilians, refineries, warehouses, agricultural facilities, schools,
 roads and railways. If Slobodan Milosevic goes on trial before the
 International Criminal Court, Clinton, Albright and Defense Secretary
 William Cohen should have their place on the court's calendar, too.

 And they may conceivably face that fate. Under the terms of the
 International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia -- a body
 set up by the U.N. Security Council in 1993 -- anyone can file formal
 complaints for the Tribunal's prosecutor in The Hague, Justice Louise
 Arbour, to consider within the terms of the Geneva Convention. Thus
 far, there have been three serious requests for investigation and
 indictment against the NATO leaders for their conduct against Serbia.

 Lawyers in Canada, Britain and France are now working together.
 Already, the Canadian team has sent Arbour requests for indictment
 against 67 persons for war crimes -- said persons ranging from Bill
 Clinton to NATO spokesman Jamie Shea, whom Canadian lawyer Michael
 Melman likened in role to William Joyce a k a Lord Haw-Haw, a
 propagandist for the Nazis hanged by the Allies at the end of World
 War II.

 Professor Melman, who teaches law at Osgood Hall Law School at York
 University in Toronto (of which, coincidentally, Louis Arbour is an
 alumna), says, "We have a great case. It will be a good test to see
 whether the law actually applies to powerful people." Among the
 indictable war crimes in the complaint prepared by the Canadian
 lawyers are: the wanton destruction of cities, towns and villages, and
 kindred devastation, not caused by military necessity; the bombardment
 of undefended towns; the willful destruction of or willful damage done
 to institutions dedicated to religion, charity or education (i.e.,
 monasteries, hospitals and schools, all hit by NATO's bombs). "They've
 admitted publicly the essentials of all these crimes," Melman says.

 The suspicion is that the Tribunal is a legislative appendage of
 NATO's war machine. After all, the indictment of Milosevic had been
 ardently pressed for by the United States and the United Kingdom, and
 came at a convenient moment when public appetite in the West for the
 bombing was waning rapidly. What better way for this intrinsically
 dubious institution to demonstrate its objectivity than to

 Clinton Executive Order Gives Schizophrenics Equal Status in
 Government Hiring

 Executive order changes government's hiring rules for mentally
 disabled

 Copyright (c) 1999 Nando Media

 Copyright (c) 1999 Associated Press

 WASHINGTON (June 3, 1999 10:16 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) -
 President Clinton will sign an executive order eliminating the federal
 government's strict practices that create barriers to the hiring or
 promotion of the mentally disabled, White House officials said
 Thursday.

 The president, in a prelude to Tipper Gore's White House Conference on
 Mental Illness next week, was announcing the policy change Friday at
 an East Room awards ceremony for private companies with exceptional
 track records in hiring people with disabilities.

 The wife of the vice president, who has taken a higher policy profile
 in the White House since Al Gore began his presidential campaign in
 earnest, announced in January that the Office of Personnel Management
 would examine the government's 22-year-old hiring rules to eliminate
 barriers for the mentally disabled.

 Clinton's executive order, officials said, would change civil service
 rules to ensure that people with psychiatric disabilities - such as
 schizophrenia, paranoia and others - are covered by the same hiring
 and promotion standards that apply to people with physical
 disabilities and the developmental disabilities that accompany mental
 retardation.

 A White House fact sheet, which estimated that more than 75 percent of
 the psychiatrically disabled are unemployed, said the new action "will
 level the playing field for individuals with psychiatric disabilities
 who are seeking employment and eliminate the institutional barriers
 that prevent them from bringing their enormous energy and talent to
 the work force."

 ACTION ITEM -California - AB222-Adds Homosexuality to "Protected"
 Status

 Contact your member of the State Assembly and Senate about this bill.

 For California Members of Congress and State Assembly and Senate; Go
 to: http://www.originalsources.com/Candidates/cagov.shtml

 This week the California Assembly is considering AB 222, which
 requires schools to consider "sexual orientation" a protected status,
 along with race, color, sex, etc. This bill appears to make it illegal
 to teach youth in public schools the dangers of homosexuality, i.e.
 that the average homosexual in America has a 40 year SHORTER life span
 than the average heterosexual. It provides:

 LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 222, as amended, Kuehl. Education:
 sexual orientation: nondiscrimination.

 (1) Existing law prohibits a person from being subjected to
 discrimination on the basis of sex, ethnic group identification, race,
 national origin, color, or mental or physical disability in anyprogram
 or activity conducted by an educational institution, including, among
 others, a public or private preschool, elementary, or secondary school
 or institution, the governing board of a school district, a public or
 private institution of vocational, professional, or post secondary
 education, the governing board of a community college district, the
 Regents of the University of California, or the Trustees of the
 California State University, that receives, or benefits from, state
 financial assistance or enrolls pupils who receive state financial
 assistance. This bill would prohibit this discrimination on the basis
 of sex, ethnic group identification, race, national origin, color, or
 mental or physical disability, whether any of those characteristics is
 actual or perceived, and would add sexual orientation, defined as
 actual or perceived heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality, as
 a prohibited basis for discrimination.

 (2) Existing law provides that the governing board of a school
 district and the governing board of a community college district have
 the primary responsibility for ensuring that programs and activities
 under their jurisdiction are free from discrimination based on ethnic
 group identification, religion, age, sex, color, or physical or mental
 disability. This bill would provide that the governing board of a
 school district and the governing board of a community college

 activities under their jurisdiction are free from discrimination based

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Conclusion

As final corroboration of the story which I have set forth in this book, I am
going to call on testimony which comes from the other side of the Iron
Curtain. It is the testimony of four people, two of whom are Russian and two
American. The first witness is a former member of the Soviet Purchasing
Commission, Victor A. Kravchenko, author of I Chose Freedom, who was
questioned by the counsel for the House of Representatives Committee on
Un-American Activities, Frank S. Tavenner, Jr., as follows:

Mr. Tavenner: What position did you hold with the Soviet Government while you
were in the United States?

Mr. Kravchenko: I was economic attache of the Soviet Purchasing Commission
from August 1943 to April 1944.

Mr. Tavenner: Will you explain to the committee the set-up of the Soviet
Purchasing Commission, that is, who controlled the activities in which the
Commission was engaged, and any other pertinent matter regarding its
functions which this committee would be interested in?

Mr. Kravchenko: Yes. First I ask your permission to explain the general
features of the situation during the war. Before we came to the United
States-when I say "we" I mean all members of the Communist Party who bad more
or less responsible duties or more or less responsible jobs-before we came to
the United States, we had received instructions from the party.

Mr. Tavenner: By "party" are you referring to the Communist Party?

Mr. Kravchenko: Communist Party, of course, because in the Soviet Union there
is only one party. In conversations which I had with officials of the Central
Committee of the Party, I was told repeatedly: "You are going to the
capitalistic United States. We are allies today because we need each other,
but when the war is over and we shall have won victory-and we are sure we
shall win it—we shall again become open enemies. We shall never modify our
philosophy and our doctrine. We are allies in trouble, but both partners know
that they hate each other. Sooner or later a clash between the two is
inevitable. Until then the Allies will remain our friends and we shall
cooperate in our mutual interests. For this reason and with an eye to the
future we must study carefully the industry in the United States, the
military industry, the civilian industry, all technological and industrial
processes, and we must get hold of their secrets so that we can achieve
similar results in our country and when the time comes we will be ready for
the fight."

Rep. Francis E. Walter: Did the Russians regard the United States as their
enemy during the period we were fighting for the common cause?

Mr. Kravchenko: Ideologically and secretly, yes. For example, every week we
had closed Party sessions in our office in Moscow. Somebody would come from
the Central Committee or from the Politburo. He would give us a speech on the
international situation, the war situation, and so on, and would make it
absolutely clear,I mentioned it in my book and it is not necessary to repeat,
but I would like to mention that they always said and always repeated: "We
are Allies because there is a war on. But we must realize that the Americans
will never like us and we will never like them." Also, "We will never like
the English and the French; I mean their political attitudes." And
practically—as a practical result of all this-every Soviet official, when he
goes to the United States or to any other country, he always has two duties
to perform. These duties go parallel: One of them is an official duty. For
example, a man comes as a simple engineer to the Soviet Purchasing
Commission, but before he comes to the United States, the Central Committee
of the Party or some special government office or department, issues orders
indicating where in the United States he must work, which factory or chemical
plant, or any kind of industry he has to watch. I am talking now about
engineers, because I was one of them and I know their work best. I dont know
what orders were given by the general staff.

Now, when this man came to the United States he had to do two jobs at the
same time. The one was open and legal, and the other was conspiracy. And when
he went back to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Government would appreciate his
work in the U.S.A. according to the secret information he had gathered for
the Soviet industry or for the military staff. All of us had such duties.

Mr. Walter: Is that true of the diplomats as well?

Mr. Kravchenko: Absolutely. They are absolutely no different. In 1943 or 1944
Mr. Rudenko, who was chairman of the Soviet Purchasing

Playing the Game

ACCORDING to the best possible source — the Social Establishment itself — the
most important college, socially, is unquestion-ably Yale, Princeton has a
lot of glamour, but Yale is solider. Boston, naturally, has always favored
Harvard, but it is only a particular part of Harvard — a Harvard centered
around such clubs as Porcellian, Fly, and Spec — that is favored. (There are,
in a very real sense, two
Harvards. In the Porcellian Club, a one-way mirror on the dining room wall
symbolizes the division; members, dining, can look out on the rest of the
university as it passes by; non-members see only a re-flection of themselves.
The two Harvards, therefore, neither speak to,nor recognize, each other.)
Though Philadelphia prefers the St. Paul's-to-Yale route, it still sends a
number of its upper-class sons to its own
University of Pennsylvania, an institution which Philadelphians blandly admit
is "second-rate Ivy League," and which other cities place far down on their
lists. For company and solace at the University, the well-born young of
Philadelphia huddle together in three select frater-nities — Delta Psi (St.
Anthony's), Delta Phi (St. Elmo's), and Zeta Psi — and quite literally never
meet anyone else. These three clubs are so selective and conservative that
they have occasionally had years when they took in no new pledges at all;
there was simply no one suitable to take in. New England's "little three,"
Williams, Amherst, and Wesleyan, are favorites of individual families, with
the first two considered "better," from a social standpoint. Dartmouth has a
rather raffish reputation, associated with hard drinking and long winter
weekends. "A lot of Dartmouth men go into advertising,'; says one
non-Dartmouth man. Also, a lot of them are Irish." (Nelson Rockefeller,
Dartmouth '30, however, is neither Irish nor in advertising.) Notre Dame is
not considered in the social running at all. Yale men are supposed to go into
banking. (David Rockefeller, however, who is a banker, went to Harvard.)

A rough indication — and very rough — of the social standing of American
colleges is the Social Register, which lists college and classes of the
socially registered. The Register has standard abbreviations for all the
colleges of the Ivy League — Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth,
Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania, and "perhaps Cornell." For years,
however, it listed only two of the "little three" — omitting Wesleyan, though
it long included the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Trinity, and,
somewhat mysteriously, Union College, Rutgers, Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, Johns Hopkins, C.C.N.Y., and N.Y.U. For reasons equally
mysterious, the only women's college honored with its own Social Register
symbol is Barnard, although Smith, Vassar, and Bryn Mawr, of the "seven

these may be as prestigious as certain of the women's junior colleges
Bennett, Briarcliff, and Colby. Recently, Wesleyan was recognized and given
its own Social Register symbol, "Wes," indicating a possible improvement of
its status. At the same time it has seemed to a few sensitive observers that
Wesleyan is only partway into the Social Register. Though other collegiate
symbols are translated in full in a key at the front of the book — "J Hop,"
for instance, is said to stand for "Johns Hopkins Graduate" — "Wes" is
somewhat sneeringly dismissed as "Wesleyan Univ. Grad."

The Social Register makes allowances for graduates of both Annapolis and West
Point, but has never recognized the United States Air Force Academy, and, of
course, regional editions reflect local preferences. The San Francisco
Register has symbols for Stanford and the University of California and, of
the Eastern colleges, for only Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. The Washington
book adds Georgetown and George Washington University, lists all the Ivy
League except Cornell, and in another hard-to-fathom move, adds Hobart, which
is in upstate New York.

There are other social "list" books besides the Social Registe—rthough none
considered as "reliable" — and a glance at their stand on colleges reveals
that there may be a connection between the colleges and universities
recognized and the alma maters of the lists' publishers. The National Social
Directory, for instance, in its "The List of Society," gives the nod to all
the colleges of the Ivy League and the "little three," plus — in an attempt,
perhaps, to give the publication the appearance of national scope — four

Getting Out

This chapter was difficult to write because I didn't want to scare anyone.
After thinking it over I decided I had to tell people all that I know in
order to give survivors the tools they need to protect themselves from their
abusers. Not surprisingly, like most destructive cults, violent cults try to
control almost every aspect of their members' lives. When ritual abuse
survivors have the courage to remember adult ritual abuse, they remember what
seems to be willing participation in these violent rituals. They usually
remember that loved ones and close family members are involved in the cult.
When survivors have these memories, they are overcome with fear and disbelief
I don't want survivors to be overcome with panic. I want them to believe
their personalities, who want to protect them from further victimization.
Based on my own experience, here are some suggestions to help survivors get
through these difficult times.

1 . Don't let fear consume you. Tell your personalities that you must control
your fear until you are safe. If you become overwhelmed with your fear you
won't be able to effectively protect your-self. You might become paralyzed
and give up.

2.  Allow your personalities to remember information about the current
ritual abuse memories without the physical sensations or emotions. From these
memories, you must make decisions about how to protect yourself from further
victimization.

3.  Don't be surprised if you remember close friends and family members
who are involved in the ritual abuse. If you do remember their involvement,
you might be overwhelmed with grief from potentially losing a relationship
with them. Although you must limit contact with loved ones who are still
involved in the cult, you can still love them and have them in your life. In
order to protect yourself you must exercise certain precautions, but you may
find that your loved ones are in the same boat that you are. They are also
victims waiting for change.

4.  It is in your friends' best interest that you break free. Once You're
free, the cult can no longer force them to hurt you. You show loved ones that
it's not hopeless. There is a way out.

5.  Don't alienate your personalities who seem to be willing participants
in the cults. It is important to remember your own victimization. If you
befriend these cult personalities, they can help you break free. If you
alienate them or disbelieve them, they will turn to the cult for support.

6.  You don't always have to be aware of the behaviors of these cult
personalities in order for them to help you. If you have their respect, they
can slowly manipulate their abusers, loosening their ties to the cult. They
can plan their escape, while you learn to protect yourself from victimization.

Remember:

1.  Cults don't usually kill members who were ritually abused as
children. In their eyes, such people are an investment, and they will wait
indefinitely to collect on their investment.

2.  In time they will stop pursuing you because it reminds them that they
are losing. In an arrogant stance, they will leave you alone, still believing
you will come back eventually.

3. As you are breaking free, if you have personalities that are still
returning to the cult, they will be reprogrammed and tortured. This will make
you especially fearful and confused. At this point, make the break as soon as
possible. Keep control of your fear, and manipulate your abusers however you
have to in order to make yourself safe.

4.  You don't have to punish yourself for searching for freedom.

5.  Each day your mind will become clearer, and you will find they -have
less control over your life. Someday you will truly know the meaning of the
word freedom.

HOW LENGTH OF ABUSE INFLUENCES ABILITY TO LEAVE

The length of time that survivors were abused generally determines whether
they will be able to get out of the cult before memories of the abuse surface
as an adult. A survivor who was abused outside of the home only for a short
duration of time-who was not forced to participate for the first eighteen
years of life-has some freedom from the cult brainwashing. A survivor who was
raised from infancy to adulthood in a cult, however, faces a different
situation because the cult controlled almost every aspect of this persons
life. Survivors who grew up in cults have the most difficult time ever
breaking free.

Abuse for a Short Duration of Time
During Childhood

Some children are ritually abused in day-care centers for two or three years,
or by only one family member for a short duration of time. These children
spend most of their lives away from the cult learning a different way of
life. Although the programming and pain of the ritual abuse remains hidden in
their minds, they still

The Right to Organize - A Week of Action
Elaine Bernard
ZNet Commentary, June 3/99.

For seven days in June, from the 19th to the 25th, unions and their allies
all over the US will be organizing hearings and forums, rallies and
actions aimed at drawing public attention to the dismal state of labor
rights, especially the most fundamental of labor rights - the right to
organize. Using the theme "our voices heard, our choices respected"
actions will highlight the widespread use by management of coercion,
harassment and firings. With an estimated 10,000 workers fired each year
for attempting to exercise their right to form a union, and with 80% of
employers hiring anti-union consultants to coach them in union avoidance
at the first sign of a union organizing campaign, the denial of this
fundamental human right has reach epidemic proportion in the US.

Now's a good time, for social justice activists to reconsider the
workplace as an important terrain of struggle. For too long, there has
been an irrational and self-defeating division of duties among
progressives in the US in which unions organize workplaces, while other
groups, the so-called social movements and identity groups, organize in
the community. Even the term "labor movement" has come to mean simply
trade unions, which are supposed to focus on narrowly defined
bread-and-butter workplace issues -- wages and benefits. This topical and
organizational division of turf misleadingly implies that there is an easy
division between workplace issues and other social struggles. And that
wages and benefits are somehow unifying while other social issues are
divisive. These separate spheres of influence have often contributed to
the sad fact that US progressives often march in solidarity with labor
movements and workers around the world, but rarely give a thought to the
plight of the working majority here at home.

For activists striving for social and economic justice, the workplace is a
crucial environment for organizing. Indeed, it is often already organized,
and not only when it is unionized; even non-union employees tend to share
common hours, lunches and breaks, and most still go every day to a common
location. By definition, everyone at the workplace is earning money, so
it's a resource-rich community in comparison to many other locations. Much
of the production of goods and services occurs there. Decisions of great
importance are made and acted upon. It is a place where global capital
puts it foot down. And anywhere capital puts its foot down, there is an
opportunity for people to act upon it and influence it. For all of these
reasons, the workplace is an important location for organizing -- and not
just for immediate bread-and-butter issues, important as they may be.

The worksite is also a place where workers learn that they actually have
few rights to participate in decisions about events of great consequences
to their lives. As power is presently distributed, workplaces are
factories of authoritarianism polluting our democracy. Workers cannot
spend eight or more hours a day obeying orders and accepting that they
have no rights, legal or otherwise, to participate in important decisions
that affect them, and then be expected to engage in robust, critical
dialogue about the structure of our society. Eventually the strain of
being deferential servants from nine to five diminishes our after-hours
liberty and sense of civic entitlement and responsibility.

Thus, the existing hierarchy of employment relations undermines democracy.
This is not to suggest that all workers are unhappy, or that all
workplaces are hellish. Rather, they are unique locations where we have
come to accept that we are not entitled to the rights and privileges we
normally enjoy as citizens. Consider how normal it seems that employers,
even very progressive employers, when asked how they would feel if "their"
employees were to form a union, respond that they would view such an act
as a personal rebuke, a signal that they had failed and a rejection of
their management. Consider for a moment, why are such paternalistic
attitudes which would be quickly

 India seeks African shells




 June 4th, 1999

 by Leon Engelbrecht, Defence Systems Daily's correspondent in South
 Africa

 An Indian newspaper is reporting that the country's defence ministry
 is "finalising terms" with South Africa's state-owned defence
 industrial group, Denel, to purchase "155mm shells for Bofors
 howitzers". The Indian Express reports that the howitzers are being
 used extensively by Indian troops fighting insurgents in the Kargil
 district of the disputed Kashmir region.

 The report said the Indian government is likely to finalise the deal
 over the next few days. The Indian Express said the military was
 hoping to buy 25,000 shells, at US $1000 each. That takes the total
 price tag to US $25m. The report stated that India was also seeking to
 buy ammunition elsewhere as its stocks have become severely depleted
 because of the upswing in fighting Kashmir. A further US $22m is said
 to be available for those purchases, making the total US $47m. India
 has a domestic production capability but this has reportedly been
 severely affected by US sanctions imposed in the wake of last year's
 nuclear weapons tests. The report has not been independently verified
 and Denel has yet to comment.

 India bought the FH-77 howitzers from Sweden in the 1980s but a
 bribery scandal afterwards soured relations and India turned elsewhere
 for ammunition and related expendables. Reunert Group
 defence-electronics company, Fuchs, recently supplied India with an
 order of 155mm fuses. India has also bought ammunition locally before.


 Denel's shell production facility is located at Potchefstroom in the
 Northwest Province (about 100km south-west of Johannesburg) and is in
 the care of its Naschem subsidiary. Naschem says its 155mm "shell
 projectile is at the core of the headline-making G5 and G6
 gun-howitzer system. They have been used to great effect in 39, 45 and
 52 calibre guns of various origins..." The shell is available with or
 without base bleed and comes in three types: HE, Practice and cluster.
 Another feature of Naschem's 155mm shells are that "boat tails and
 base bleed motors are totally interchangeable".

 India may also be interested in the Somchem (a sister company to
 Naschem within the Denel group) VLAP or velocity enhanced long range
 artillery projectile. The company's brochure says VLAP is a "velocity
 enhanced 155mm projectile designed to extend the operational range for
 most 39, 45 and 52 calibre howitzers by about 10 kilometres". It says
 VLAP is a supplementary sub-system to existing ammunition systems that
 requires no special drills or logistics. VLAP should be available to
 clients this year.

 But before spending too much attention on what India can buy in South
 Africa, it may prove worthwhile to see if they will be allowed to buy
 anything at this time. Armaments exports by South Africa are regulated
 by the National Conventional Arms Control Committee. This is a
 cabinet-level committee headed by (Water Affairs and Forestry)
 Minister Kader Asmal, the ruling ANC's chief expert on ethics and a
 noted lawyer and professor of human rights. The committee also
 includes the ministers for defence, trade and industry, safety and
 security, foreign affairs and intelligence. The committee has not met
 since the Kashmiri crisis erupted and is unlikely to do so in the next
 few weeks.

 South Africa is now in the interregnum between yesterday's general
 election (won by the ANC) and the inauguration of outgoing President
 Nelson Mandela's successor, Thabo Mbeki. Before the committee can meet
 Mbeki must appoint his cabinet and several of the ministers serving on
 the committee are either retiring or are likely to be shuffled.
 Indications are that Asmal himself will get a new post. Mbeki is only
 being inaugurated on June 16th. Therefore any meeting of the NCACC
 will probably not take place until after that date.

 All exports are approved by the committee on a case-by-case bases.
 Exports to combatants are usually declined, though this should not
 stand in the way of any negotiations aimed at concluding a contract.

 HARD ROCK MUSIC CREATES KILLER MICE!

 David Merrell, a high school student from Suffolk, Virginia,
 has won top honors in regional and state science fairs for his
 experiment involving mice, a maze and hard-rock music.

 After establishing a baseline of about 10 minutes for the mice to
 navigate the maze, David started playing music 10 hours a day, then
 put the mice through the maze three times a week for three weeks.

 His findings:  the control-group mice, which did not listen to any
 music, were able to cut five minutes off their time; the mice that
 listened to classical music cut 8.5 minutes off their time; and the
 mice that listened to hard-rock music took 20 minutes longer to
 navigate the maze.

 David said, "I had to cut my project short because all the
 hard-rock mice killed each other ... None of the classical mice
 did that at all."

 ~~~

 However...

 Do you remember the notorious experiment where plants thrived to
 classical music and withered with rock?  Well, subsequently it was
 determined that the person doing the experiment loved classical
 music and hated rock.  When a person was found who loved rock, and
 that person did the experiment, the results were reversed.

 I read the original news story about David and the killer mice.
 (Washington Times, 2 July 1997.)  It was clear he went into the
 experiment with predetermined beliefs about hard rock.

 "Don't let your kids listen to hard rock music," he said. "I think
 it has a major negative effect."  TO PROVE HIS POINT (captials
 added) David assembled three separate groups of 24 mice..."

 Kind of calls in question most scientific research, because most
 scientists go into an experiment with a bias.  So... do experiments
 prove "facts", or do they prove the belief system of the researcher?

 Hmmm

 More on killer mice, the scientific method, and "reality"
 ~~~

 According to quantum physics (as explained in Gary Zukav's
 The Dancing Wu Li Masters), the experimenter and the experiment
 CANNOT be separated.  He says:

"The new physics, quantum mechanics, tells us clearly that it is
 not possible to observe reality without changing it.  If we observe
 a certain particle collision experiement, not only do we have no
 way of proving that the result would have been the same if we had
 not been watching it, all that we know indicates that it would not
 have been the same because the result that we got was affected by
 the fact that we were looking for it.  Some experiments show that
 light is wave-like.  Other experiements show equally well that
 light is particle-like.  If we want to demonstrate that light is a
 particle-like phenomenon or that light is a wave-like pheonomenon,
 we only need to select the appropriate experiment.  According to
 quantum mechanics, there is no such thing as objectivity.  We
 cannot eliminate ourselves from the picture.  We are a part of
 nature, and when we study nature there is no way around the fact
 that nature is studying itself."

 -Caveat Lector-

Thank you, Eagle, for the great response!!  At last, we have someone on
the list who knows what it's like to be poor in America.

There's a difference between reading about something and actually having
to live it, isn't there?  Without getting into too much of my own personal
history, I will only tell you that I know what it's like to live on
subsistence wagesto be on your own in a strange city...hustling for
whatever work is available, and to be exploited by greedy employers.  And
I know what's like to live from paycheck to paycheck, and every trip to
the market involves a number of trade-offs: should you buy food or should
you use the money for essentials..  Unless you've been there, no one knows
what that's like.

Like you, I'm critical of "limousine liberals" who love humanity in the
abstract, while they have only contempt for the poor as individuals.

And there's no doubt about it. The poor are unloveable.  They're often
ignorant and have poor character.  And growing up in some urban
environments, it is a wonder that they're able to survive at all, given
the fact that so much of poverty is generational.  I don't have any magic
bullet to cure the dynamic, and I would agree with you that the poor DO
have many, many opportunities to improve themselves.  But many of those
ladders into "something better depend" on a variety of factors.  IF you
are
in the wrong state, you're in trouble.  Being poor in the south is
different from being poor in a northern state where there are some basic
services available.  Of course, being poor is hard no matter where you
live, but after having lived in a right-wing laissez faire southern state,
I know that rural poverty can be just as horrible as the inner city kind.

I found your remarks about your work experience particularly enlightening.
In the small rural southern town where I lived for six years, thanks to
"free trade," the textile mills closed down.  The owners moved the plants
to the Dominican Republic in order to take advantage of the cheap labor
there.  To add insult to injury, forgive the cliche, they asked many of
them to train their Dominican replacements!!!  You can imagine what the
economic impact is on a town when its chief employers decide to pull up
stakes and leave.  Unlike capital, the people aren't as mobile.  Think
about it.  Money can be moved in and out of a country with the flick of a
computer switch, but people can't.  Workers have homes, mortgages,
commitments to their churches, schools and communities.  But clearly, the
way the economic game is played, the people are considered to be
expendable.

And this pattern is being repeated throughout all of America.  Here in
Fargo, North Dakota, Somalians, Laotians, South Asians, Russians have been
brought in to work at subsistence level jobs.  And the "new" Americans are
not just taking service jobs.  At the local university, there's been an
active effort mounted to recruit Taiwanese, Pakistani, Indian professors
for teaching positions.  Helping the refugees, of course, are a network of
church-sponsored social services.  They help them obtain jobs, work
permits, food stamps, rent subsidies, language instruction, psychological
counseling and evaluation.  All of this is taking place in a city that has
THREE THOUSAND Americans (many of them families) living on a permanent
basis in homeless shelters.

Fargo is a medium-sized city, with a largely Norwegian/German population.
Now, the city has a sizeable Muslim population in its midst.  On any given
day, you can find individuals wearing saris or the traditional garb of
the middle east.  So far, there has been little thought given to the
possible explosive racial/class/cultural conflicts that will ensue, once
the immigrants begin to compete with the local populace for the few good
jobs.  Already, we've had a local chapter of the Crips come in from
Chicago in order to try and organize the local black and latino youth.
Racial tensions are already here; but the government/religious/political
establishment has decided, in its infinite wisdom, that the city can
accomodate its share of Kosovo Albanians as well.

Clearly, "free trade" involves a complete restructuring and reorganization
of this society.  And what scares me the most is that it looks like our
country is moving rapidly into a fascistic/totalitarian direction that
none of us can stop.

 HR1790 and the bioterroism initiative are scary new attacks on American

H.R. 1790 is scary all right, and it's not completely available on Thomas.  I
had my congressman send me a copy.  It's ten pages of how to eliminate the
American citizen's "right to know."  You would never know what it really is
from reading the title or the description of its content.  It gets really
interesting in some of the following passages:

 This concerns release of information in electronic form (in particular) or
in printed form as well under some circumstances.  Anyway, one of the more
interesting paragraphs says:

"Any officer or employee of the United States, or any officer or employee of
a State or local government, who knowingly violates a restrition or
prohibition established by this subsection, shall be fined under section 3571
of title 18, United States Code, imprisoned for not more than one year, or
both.'

It goes on with the next encouraging words:

"The Administrator may collect and maintain records that reflect the identity
of individuals and persons seeking access to information under this section
only to the extent that such collection and maintenance is relevant and
necessary to accomplish a legal purpose "

There is also the following:

"After consulting with other Federal agencies, the Administrator may make
off-site consequence analysis information available to the public in an
electronic form that DOES NOT INCLUDE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE IDENTITY OR
THE LOCATION OF THE STATIONARY SOURCES FOR WHICH THE INFORMATION WAS
SUBMITTED.  No other officer or employee of the United States, nor any
officer or employe of a State or local government, may make off-site
consequence analysis information available to the public in such form except
as authorized by the Administrator."

What I am reading here is that the public has no right to know, and if
anybody tells them he will be fined and put in the slammer.   I wish I knew
more about Virginia.  Isn't Olin or somebody headquartered there?  Mr. Bliley
appears to be a sneaky and evil man.  He has a lot of help.  This bill has
already had two hearings before the Commerce Committee.   It still has the
Government Reform and the Judiciary to go.  It is zooming along like a guided
missile.  The precedent it would set is horrifying.

I heard a part of the first hearing in the Commerce Committee.  C-SPAN ran it
at 5:00 a.m. on a Thursday morning.  The representative of the Fraternal
Order of Police who talked was very happy at the prospect of being able to
keep records on anyone who asked to see certain information.  They seemed to
be asking for positive input from one Atty Susman.  It was never clear whom
he represented.  Mr. Bliley[s bill got a plug from Mr. Bilbray.  He is also a
Republican but while Mr. Bliley is from Virginia, Mr. Bilbray is from
California.  He and the police want information about environmental hazards
restricted to those who "have a need to know and can be trusted to use it
properly."  And of course can be relied upon not to make chemical companies
uncomfortable.

If this bill passes, democracy (which requires an informed citizenry) is
dead.

US May Send 7,000 Troops to Kosovo
Full Coverage
NATO - Serbia War


By BARRY SCHWEID AP Diplomatic Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - The military service chiefs will meet with President
Clinton Thursday to discuss options in NATO's conflict with Yugoslavia,
including the possible use of ground troops for a land invasion of Kosovo,
Defense Secretary William Cohen said today.

Members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will discuss ``the whole range of
issues ... including considerations about whether there should be or could
be a ground option'' and whether NATO would support such a shift in
strategy, Cohen told reporters.

Responding to questions during a photo-taking session in his Pentagon
office, Cohen said there are no firm plans for any use of ground forces in
Kosovo beyond the enlarged peacekeeping force now in the works. And he said
``there is no other planning'' ready to be presented to Clinton on ground
force options.

Clinton, during a commencement address today at the Air Force Academy in
Colorado Springs, Colo., announced the United States would contribute 7,000
U.S. troops to some 50,000 international forces for Kosovo peacekeeping.

The president, who has all but ruled out a ground invasion, urged Americans
to stick behind the 10-week-old airstrike strategy. ``We cannot grow weary
of this campaign because Mr. Milosevic did not capitulate when the first
bombs fell,'' he said. ``If we have the patience and determination to match
the courage and skill of the men and women in uniform we will achieve our
goals.''

Clinton also noted the deployment this week of 68 additional U.S. aircraft
for the air war. The planes are part of a 176-aircraft increase approved by
Cohen on May 6. It includes a squadron of 12 F-16 fighters, two squadrons of
F-15E attack planes and 20 air tankers. Officials have said the planes would
be based in Turkey, although Pentagon officials declined to publicly confirm
that.

Some 16,000 NATO troops are now stationed in neighboring Macedonia and about
14,000 are to be added. On a visit here, Prime Minister Ljubco Georgievski
said the Macedonian parliament had taken the position Macedonia should not
be used for attacks on any of its neighbors.

And, he said at a news conference after seeing Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright, Greece, Hungary and Bulgaria have similar positions.

However, Georgievski said, if NATO decides to invade, ``We will have to put
it to the Macedonian parliament again.''

Georgievski, leader of the tiniest Balkans nation, appealed also for U.S.
assistance. Albright, responding, said Congress already has approved $22
million in economic assistance and $15 million in technical aid.

Cohen stressed that the administration and NATO are committed to continuing
the air campaign and using ground troops in a peacekeeping role only after
there is a peace agreement with Belgrade. Nonetheless, when pressed for
details on Thursday's meeting, Cohen said, ``I'm sure there will be a full
range of discussions, questions about whether or not there would be any kind
of a ground option for a nonpermissive environment.'' He added that there is
no NATO consensus for a ground invasion.

White House spokesman Joe Lockhart said the focus of Clinton's meeting with
his military advisers would be ``the air campaign and its effectiveness.''

``You should not look at this as a decision meeting,'' Lockhart said,
stressing the idea is simply to discuss all NATO options available.

Other administration officials, meanwhile, said today that a U.S.-Russian
plan for a new diplomatic overture to Yugoslavia has not resolved all
differences on what kind of peacekeeping force would go into Kosovo, but
Albright said there was ``sufficient agreement'' to move forward on the
initiative.

State Department spokesman James P. Rubin said it was ``an open question''
whether Russia would participate in sending peacekeepers under NATO command
and with NATO at its core as demanded by the allies.

But in a gesture to Moscow, Rubin said the Clinton administration would not
object to adoption of a resolution by the United Nations to endorse the
peacekeeping plan after a settlement to protect returning refugees.

Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic previously had flatly rejected the
plan and NATO's demands for a withdrawal of virtually all Serb troops from
Kosovo.

Russian mediator Viktor Chernomyrdin and President Martti Ahtisaari of
Finland were going together to Belgrade today to present the new diplomatic
initiative. The plan grew out of lengthy talks in Bonn, Germany, with Deputy
Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, Chernomyrdin and Ahtisaari.

``We think the areas of agreement are sufficiently large to justify a joint
trip,'' Rubin said. ``The ball clearly is in Mr. Milosevic's court.''

Chernomyrdin said NATO troops will be under NATO command, while the Russian
troops will be controlled by the Russian command.

Talbott, speaking later, said the Western alliance

[CTRL] NRA Fires Back at Spike, Rosie [Charlton Heston]

NRA Fires Back at Spike, Rosie

by Daniel Frankel
June 1, 1999, 6:20 p.m. PT

It was only two weeks ago that Rosie O'Donnell made headlines by getting on
Tom Selleck's case about appearing in a National Rifle Association
advertisement.

Imagine the talk-show host's surprise Tuesday, when she opened USA Today to
find her own name appearing--alongside fellow NRA critic Spike Lee's--in one
of the gun-lobbying organization's full-page print ads.

The ad, headlined, "SPIKE LEE, ROSIE O'DONNELL AND THE REST OF THIS
COUNTRY'S GUN HATERS NEED TO READ THIS," features a fairly lengthy
transcript to a speech given by NRA Vice President Wayne LaPierre last week
to a House Judiciary subcommittee.

Perhaps taking aim at O'Donnell--and the persistent anti-gun stance she's
taken on her syndicated talk show in the wake of the Columbine High School
shooting tragedy--LaPierre implicates what he calls "made-for-TV lawmaking"
in a discussion ostensibly to clarify his organization's position on
gun-control.

"It needs a villain," he explains. "So good Americans have been exposed
daily to a well-coordinated, systematic bashing of the National Rifle
Association's membership as somehow a reckless societal pathogen, a mighty
extremist empire opposed to safety, caution and reason."

Lee--quoted late last month at the Cannes Film Festival as saying of NRA
President Charlton Heston, "Shoot him--with a .44 caliber Bulldog," and
adding he'd like to "dismantle" the NRA--received more direct treatment from
LaPierre.

"It's reasonable for well-meaning people to convene hearings like this to
find and fashion solutions," he says in the ad. "What's unreasonable is when
a new level of hate rhetoric becomes acceptable because it's aimed at honest
gun owners, as in the violent language of influential filmmaker Spike
Lee...By his defiant silence, instead of a quick apology most American role
models would offer, he sanctions hate..."

For his part, Lee has spoken about the matter, indicating he was very clear
with reporters at the time that his comments were made merely in fun.

"I intended it as ironic, as a joke to show how violence begets more
violence," Lee says. "I told everyone there it was a joke. I said I did not
want to read in the papers, 'Shoot Charlton Heston.'"

 Date: Fri, 04 Jun 1999 01:41:17 -0700
 From: Forest Glen Durland [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Subject: Safe Guns
 
 June 4, 1999
 
 Armed to the Teeth, and Free
 
 By Stephen P. Halbrook, an attorney in Fairfax, Virginia,
 and author of "Target Switzerland."
 
 In 1994, when the U.S. Congress debated whether to ban
 "assault weapons," a talk show host asked then-Senator Bill
 Bradley (New Jersey), a sponsor of the ban, whether guns
 cause crime. The host noted that, in Switzerland, all males
 are issued assault rifles for militia service and keep them
 at home, yet little crime exists there. Sen. Bradley
 responded that the Swiss "are pretty dull."
 For those who think that target shooting is more fun than
 golf, however, Switzerland is anything but "dull." By car or
 train, you see shooting ranges everywhere, but few golf
 courses. If there is a Schuetzenfest (shooting festival) in
 town, you will find rifles slung on hat racks in
 restaurants, and you will encounter men and women, old and
 young, walking, biking and taking the tram with rifles over
 their shoulders, to and from the range. They stroll right
 past the police station and no one bats an eye. (Try this in
 the U.S., and a SWAT Team might do you in.)
 Tourists--especially those from Japan, where guns are banned
 to all but the police--think it's a revolution. But shooting
 is the national sport, and the backbone of the national
 defense as well. More per capita firepower exists in
 Switzerland than in any other place in the world, yet it is
 one of the safest places to be.
 According to the U.N. International Study on Firearm
 Regulation, England's 1994 homicide rate was 1.4 (9%
 involving firearms), and the robbery rate 116, per 100,000
 population. In the United States, the homicide rate was 9.0
 (70% involving firearms), and the robbery rate 234, per
 100,000. England has strict gun control laws, ergo, the
 homicide rate is lower than in the U.S. However, such
 comparisons can be dangerous: In 1900, when England had no
 gun controls, the homicide rate was only 1.0 per 100,000.
 Moreover, using data through 1996, the U.S. Department of
 Justice study "Crime and Justice" concluded that in England
 the robbery rate was 1.4 times higher, the assault rate was
 2.3 times higher, and the burglary rate was 1.7 times higher
 than in the U.S. This suggests that lawfully armed citizens
 in the U.S. deter such crimes. Only the murder and rape
 rates in the U.S. were higher than in England. The small
 number of violent predators who commit most of these crimes
 in the U.S. have little trouble arming themselves
 unlawfully.
 The U.N. study omits mention of Switzerland, which is awash
 in guns and has substantially lower murder and robbery rates
 than England, where most guns are banned.
 Here are the figures: The Swiss Federal Police Office
 reports that in 1997 there were 87 intentional homicides and
 102 attempted homicides in the entire country. Some 91 of
 these 189 murders and attempts involved firearms. With its
 population of seven million (including 1.2 million
 foreigners), Switzerland had a homicide rate of 1.2 per
 100,000. There were 2,498 robberies (and attempted
 robberies), of which 546 involved firearms, resulting in a
 robbery rate of 36 per 100,000. Almost half of these crimes
 were committed by non-resident foreigners, whom locals call
 "criminal tourists."
 Sometimes, the data sound too good to be true. In 1993, not
 a single armed robbery was reported in Geneva.
 No one seems to be looking at the Swiss example in the U.S.,
 however. Congress is stampeding to pass additional firearm
 restrictions in response to the events of April 20, when two
 students used guns and bombs to murder a dozen classmates
 and a teacher in Littleton, Colorado. Yet in 1996, a man who
 legally owned guns under England's strict regulations went
 on a rampage, murdering 16 children and a teacher in
 Dunblane, Scotland. Parliament then banned all handguns and
 most rifles.
 But there have been no school massacres in Switzerland,
 where guns and kids mix freely. At shooting matches,
 bicycles aplenty are parked outside. Inside the firing
 shelter, the competitors pay 12-year-olds tips to keep
 score. The 16-year-olds shoot rifles with men and women of
 all ages. In fact, the tourist brochure "Zurich News"
 recommends September's Knabenschiessen (boy's shooting
 contest) as a must-see: "The oldest Zurich tradition . . .
 consists of a shooting contest at the Albisguetli (range)
 for 12 to 16 year-old boys and girls and a colorful
 three-day fun-fair." The event has been held since 1657, and
 attracts thousands of teenage participants and spectators.
 While many shoot for sport, all males aged 20 to 42 are
 required by militia system regulation to keep rifles and/or
 pistols at home. In addition, gun shops abound. Yet firearms
 are rarely used in crime. Homicide is tied to a willingness
 to resort to violence, not the mere presence of guns.

A man receiving charity always hates his benefactor -- it is a

Starting from this foundation of our constitutional faith
and proceeding to inquire in what part of the Constitution
the power of making appropriations for internal improvements
is found, it is necessary to reject all idea of there being
any grant of power in the preamble. When that instrument
says, "We, the people of the United States, in order to
form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," it only
declares the inducements and the anticipated results of
the things ordained and established by it. To assume that
anything more can be designed by the language of the
preamble would be to convert all the body of the
Constitution, with its carefully weighed enumerations
and limitations, into mere surplusage. The same may
be said of the phrase in the grant of the power to
Congress "to pay the debts and provide for the common
defense and general welfare of the United States;" or,
to construe the words more exactly, they are not
significant of grant or concession, but of restriction
of the specific grants, having the effect of saying that
in laying and collecting taxes for each of the precise
objects of power granted to the General Government
Congress must exercise any such definite and undoubted
power in strict subordination to the purpose of the common
defense and general welfare of all the States.

 With the increased use of dynamic entry for even the most
 ordinary, non-violent white collar crimes, it occurs to me
 we are not witnessing an increase in Nazi -type police
 operations as much as we are a dramatic increase in
 cowardice among our police officers and their leaders.
 
 A job in law enforcement always came with a known and
 accepted risk, and those who tended to gravitate toward law
 enforcement jobs more often than not, reveled in that risk.
 These were real men and women who took crime head on. They
 placed themselves between us and the bad guys, and we all
 looked up to them as heroes when we were children. We
 considered each officer to be an upstanding, participating
 member of the community. Some of us even dreamed of growing
 up to be just like the people portrayed in the television
 series The FBI. Of course, that was before the FBI murdered
 Vickie Weaver and incinerated the congregation at the church
 in Waco and then covered both incidents up.
 
 Now cut to the present day.
 
 Police officers today are quite different from those I knew
 when I was growing up. The emphasis is more on college
 degrees today and less on traditional, face-to-face law
 enforcement. One major difference is that these new police
 officers want the job and the benefits, but they don't want
 to accept the risk their forefathers did. The risk is still
 there, but they have shifted that risk over to the
 population they have sworn to protect. Here are a few
 examples:
 
 In the days of yore, cops would develop a case against a
 known suspect, wait for the right moment when he was
 vulnerable, and then arrest him. It usually only took two
 cops to do the job. Nowadays, cops will obtain a no-knock
 search warrant based on nothing more than an anonymous tip
 from an anonymous source. (And the judges who issue those
 search warrants on such flimsy evidence have a lot of
 explaining to do.) Anyway, rather than develop any kind of
 hard evidence against the criminal beforehand, they use the
 no-knock search itself to make or break their case. It's a
 fishing expedition.
 
 The typical scenario involves up to twenty police officers
 dressed in black paramilitary combat gear who break down
 your door at around 3 AM, drag you and your loved ones out
 of bed screaming in terror, handcuff you and stick a fully
 automatic MP-5 submachine gun in your face. You get to lay
 there naked, or nearly so, while these police officers
 search (destroy) your premises for the evidence they didn't
 bother to develop before this eventful morning. There is a
 rule to estimate how long you're going to be left terrified
 on the floor like this: If your clean, your going to be on
 the floor for a very long time, because the cop who obtained
 that search warrant is feeling a lot of heat, and he's going
 to tear your house to shreds looking for any evidence of any
 crime whatsoever to make him look better. See, if they find
 evidence of criminal activity involving a completely
 different kind of trespass, they simply leave your ass hog-
 tied on the floor while they obtain a search warrant to look
 for what they've already found. The cop's not going to be
 the looser, even if he did make a mistake: You are.
 
 In the other scenario, you hear them breaking down your
 door, you grab your weapon off the nightstand in self
 defense as they burst into your bedroom and ... oops, you're
 dead! Or worse, you're up taking a leak when you realize
 something is going on outside. You grab your semi-auto AR-15
 with it's 30 round clip and head downstairs to find out
 what's going on. As you approach the door, it is kicked in
 and you open fire, killing two police officers and seriously
 wounding two more before the others retreat to safety. Like
 the Branch Davidians, you allow the cops to drag their dead
 and wounded away while they, unbeknownst to you, plot how
 they are going to make you look like Charlie Manson to the
 whole world just before they get around to killing you. And
 make no mistake about it, killing you is the immediate goal
 in a case like this, and if you're innocent of any
 wrongdoing, killing you becomes even more expedient.
 
 But what led to all this? It is cowardice, ladies and
 gentlemen; pure

 Adults Arrested Under New Law
 
  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
  Tuesday, September 2, 1997
  SALIDA, CO -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado has
  filed a legal challenge to a controversial new ordinance here that
  prohibits adults from spending more than five minutes in a public place
  after 11 p.m.
  The ordinance, enacted by the Salida City Council on May 19, outlaws
  "loitering," which is defined as remaining in one location for more than
  five minutes. The ordinance defines "one location" as "any two points
  within two hundred feet of each other."
  Salida police have charged 22 individuals with violating the ordinance
  since its enactment.
  The ACLU represents Josh Edelstein, 25, who lives in a downtown
  apartment located above a business. Edelstein was standing on the
  sidewalk in front of his apartment saying goodbye to some friends when
  he received a ticket on June 11. The ticket charges that Mr. Edelstein
  "stayed in an area of less than two hundred feet for more than five
  minutes."
  In a motion to dismiss filed by ACLU volunteer cooperating attorney
  Ernest Marquez of Salida, the ACLU argues that the government has no
  lawful power to impose a curfew on adults, nor does it have the power
  to require that adults "keep moving" to avoid spending more than five
  minutes in one location.
  "This ordinance makes it a crime to wait for a ride in front of a
  downtown theater after the late show lets out," Marquez said. "The
  Constitution does not permit the government to pass a law that
  transforms such ordinary innocent activity into a criminal offense."
  The loitering ordinance has produced dissension and division in the small
  town of Salida, which is located about two and a half hours southwest of
  Denver.
  On Friday August 22, 120 residents staged a "loiter-in" at 11 p.m. to
  protest the ordinance and to sign a petition urging its repeal. Several
  businesses have offered discounts to patrons who can produce a ticket
  for loitering issued by the police.
  The new ordinance is a toned-down version of a proposal that survived
  a first reading at a city council meeting last spring. As originally
  drafted,
  the ordinance prohibited "lingering," "tarrying," or "standing idly about"
 
  and applied at all times of the day as well as the night.
  On April 18, the ACLU wrote to the City Council explaining that the
  proposed measure would violate clearly established constitutional
  precedents.
  In response to concerns raised by the ACLU, the City Council revised
  the ordinance so that the final version defines "loitering" more precisely
 
  and makes it a crime only after 11 p.m.
  According to the ACLU, however, the improvements are not sufficient.
  "In essence, this ordinance establishes an 11 p.m. curfew for the entire
  community," said Mark Silverstein, ACLU of Colorado Legal Director.
  "No court in the country has ever approved a law that establishes a
  general curfew for adults.
 
 
  "On the contrary," Silverstein said, "the courts have consistently
  reaffirmed that one of our most cherished liberties is the freedom to take
 
  a simple nighttime stroll through the city without having to produce
  papers or otherwise answer to the police."
  The introductory paragraph of the Salida ordinance states that it was
  enacted in response to problems caused by late-night gatherings that led
  to fights, disturbances of the peace, and public drug and alcohol abuse.
  "The City of Salida has every right to enact ordinances that target such
  problems," Silverstein said. "But the City cannot do so by trampling
  unnecessarily on the civil liberties of innocent people who are peacefully
 
  enjoying a summer evening."

Subject: warning: Bilderberg material is fascist hoax!

Dear friends,

I am writing to you urgently to warn you about material being circulated on
this list (however innocently) about a 'Bilderberg Conference' . The
material appears to be an attack on global power elite, but is in fact
material whose source is nazis and far right politicians with very close
links to big business.

The purpose of the material appears to be to make people imagine there is a
sinister Jewish conspiracy that is trying to dominate the world, a false idea
but a dangerous one which contributed very much to Adolf Hitler's genocide of
the Jewish people.

I am NOT implying in any way that the people on J18 list who sent the
material to the list are antisemitic or fascist themselves. It is more than
possible that they have become victims of this nazi hoax. I am only warning
them and the list in general about the original source of much of this
material:

A member of this list, Javier, (email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) posted on 26 May 1999
a message (title - Fw: .nettime Bilderberger (fwd)) warning us about an
apparent meeting of some of the most powerful people in the world, due to
take place on June in Portugal, called the Bilderberg Conference. His post
consisted of a long forwarded document and his comment that perhaps we have
chosen the wrong occasion to protest, and that we should in fact be
protesting this Conference, rather than the G8 summit.

Early in the forwarded document the Washington-based journal Spotlight is
quoted as a source of information on the Bilderberg Conference. Spotlight is
published by the fascist Liberty Lobby, who for years had as key figure
Willis Carto. You may find much information on them by contacting any major
anti-fascist organisation.

Later the forwarded document presents a 'BILDERBERG '99: Partial Guest List'
While the list includes many individuals who are certainly part of the
world's top power elite such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Tony Blair, etc, it
also includes a fantastic proportion of Israelis and Jews. It is clear that
the 'Guest List' cannot be an official document from the organisers of such a
Conference - (there are many spelling and other errors, billiionaire Warren
Buffet has his personal name and his company name listed the wrong way round,
one company entry has the comment 'of blessed memory' written next to it and
King Hussein of Jordan appears as an invited guest with the comment in
brackets that he is dead(!) However, even if we were to believe that this is
an accurate 'partial guest list' of a conference for world domination drawn
up by a good anti-capitalist, who happened to have inside information, then
we need to ask several questions.

Is it likely that enormously powerful members of the ruling elite like Warren
Buffet and Bill Clinton would sit round a table with popular left- of -centre
Israeli authors like AB Yehoshua and Amos Oz to discuss how to rule the
world?

Why is there a long list of academics from Israeli universities on this list,
and virtually no academics from any other countries?

Why are so many of the 'guests' representatives  from top multinationals who
are Jewish or who have Jewish-sounding names, rather than the non-Jewish
heads of these businesses?

 snip section on Tony Goslings site - I do not think this section was
well founded, although perhaps Tony would be wise to make the existance of far
right propaganda on this issue more clear, so people can begin to filter
out this misinformation 

I beg all J18 activists to be extremely wary of any information now being put
over the Internet re this 'Bilderberg Conference' . Demand to know the
original sources of all the information. It would be nice if the two
subscribers who offered this material to the list could do a very thorough
research of all the documents or websites they have referred us to and then
tell us what they discover. I will post more information on this as soon as I
have time.

Against fascism and against capitalism,

Subject matter which should be able to be pulled up is a listing of
material on the bible; in particular the Guttenberg Bible.

A friend of mine has an original Guttenberg Bible in German,
howeverand I guess it is worth plenty, but he doesn't care about
that.

Sothe information re Guttenberg in particular gives data...

Also my interest in Daniel is, when did they change the name High
Priest, to President..which was most unusual; also in the
Revelations, anyone who changes or butchers the bible, is in for it; for
it looks like even Jerry Falwell, will have much for which to atone,
since he now has his own transalation, copyrighted, of the bible.

The bible I have, an ancestor who was a Greek Latin Scholar, etc., was
in on the revision when the Delegates to the Clarendon Press met in the
late 1870 period up to 1899this bible is the SS Teachers Edition,
hand sewn silk, which was given to each of the Delegates who helped to
revise or whatever, this particular Bibleand the dediction to the
King of course, is remarkable.

If one really considers what the bible is, it is the basis for the
lawthe only book the Pilgrims had when hitting the Plymouth Rock,
was the bible.the bible is a book of knowledge; it holds secrets yet
to be deciphered and sometimes I think, the secret to the atom bomb is
contained therein...coded, of course - but when, well who knows.

Some believe the Pharoahs of old, and the individuals in the bible whose
faces shined, used some type of a radiant paint or somethingwhich
eventually killed them.   There are records in modern days, as of late,
where some individuals have been buried in cement who were exposed to
high levels of radiation.

I still wonder why my ancestors, the Calverts of Maryland, were buried
in lead coffinswhich seemed strangeand then, these dreadful DNA
experts in Maryland snooping in graves.

DNA is like the Gallup Poll; chances are, they could be
wrong.because nobody yet has a sample of every person sitting on the
planet earthonly God, who even knows the number of hairs upon our
headsand that, is all.

Next they will be going into the Garden of Eden, looking for God's
DNA.then we will know if Adam and Eve were monkies,, or just one and
only one, was God's child.

Here is the Executive Order re Heritage Rivers, which is in no way under
the control of the UN.

Further, get your questions, etc., sent to the President's Office - I
asked just what an EO is, how long it remains in effect...for instance,
JFK wanted to start printing our own money and of course, this EO though
signed, was never put into effect.and this could well have been the
primary reason he was killed, also Viet Nam the munitions barons would
have lost a lot too.

We lost fifty thousand or so soldiers in Viet Nam.  Kennedy was just
another casualty, when you consider thatbut the fact remains, it was
a war he wanted to stop.

Do not blame Dallas or Texas.it was easy to send the President down
there, knowing fingers would point every which way when he was gunned
down; but the Juke Boxes still played the Streets of Larado (an old
Irish Song called the Bard of Armagh).when they gunned down our
president, after giving him a white cowboy hat to wear.

What I like about the site which I have forwarded, you can say anything
you want to say.   I used my right name of course, but if I am still of
a list, well - life has been dull lately.

LOOKING FOR current and past intelligence, special purpose/project team
members or victims of operation BUG, project THIRD CHANCE, DERBY
HAT, UKULTRA, CIA, DIA, NASA, ARMY, AIRFORCE, NAVY, MARINES,
that have or had implants placed in them or have information on the use of
bio-medical implants.

Many of you had implants inserted into your brain, nose, ear, or almost any
part of the body usually with a long thin needle or probe. In some cases the
implantation process may cause nose bleeds and other types of
unexplained bleeding from various bodily orifices.

As you know, you were led to believe that the implants were to be used only
for tracking and communication when in fact they were used in performing
the following functions and more: (1) forced interrogation; (2) recording and
relaying every thought, emotion, and physical reaction of a person
continuously 24 hours a day; (3) a continuous telepathic link 24 hours a day-
-"tracking and communication"; (4) the implant may act as a surveillance
device and relay every aspect of the individuals exterior environment; (5)
the implants facilitate "non-physical" brainwashing processes by
separating the "astral body" from the physical body with audio and visual
imagery thus experiencing things as if he or she were actually and
physically there--these experiences may later be mistaken for actual
physical experiences on the part of the individual causing confusion and
disbelief with those experiences shared with interested investigators, and
the public. Has the government used this process on you to cover up the
truth? (6) implants may affect a person in subtle "esoteric" and spiritual
ways that can only be described in "new age" or "occult terms"; (7)
implants may trigger unexplained "healing" or spontaneous "cures" or
improvements in adverse physical and mental conditions; (8) implants may
be used for genetic purposes but this may be only one of their lesser-
important functions; (9) implants may be used to speed up the bodies
functions in the aging process so as to destroy a person without their
knowledge; (10) implant electromagnetic radiation affects human motor
functions and thus affects a person's ability to function normally. Midwest
Research Institute in Kansas City is the only laboratory in the U.S. capable
of testing how electromagnetic radiation affects humans.

I was arrested in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in May 1991 by Brazilian  U.S.
Officials after being tracked for months and taken to the torture-
interrogation center in Brasilia, Brazil. CenCom contract agents and
Brazilian Officials tortured me for 10 months with electric shock, beating,
sleep deprivation, and the 24 hour a day link to human and computer
interrogation via telemetry due to the implants that still exist in me. The
duplex link allowed human slavery to exist as they were able to control all
mental and physical functions of me. The U.S. and Brazilian Government
and other mind terrorists must be stopped. Electronic lobotomies are the
government's most powerful weapon of terror, as those who are buried -
whether literally in the ground or figuratively in prison - can eventually be
forgotten. Prisoners as a group are being genocized by the Brazilian
Government.

As a victim of psychosurgery and living daily with a mutilated mind I would
appreciate a response from anyone that has information on implants so as
to support my current litigation. My attorney is also looking for consultants
with expertise in the area. My hope being to initiate project "IMPLANT -
CLASS ACTION" suit so we may stop psychosurgery as a weapon of
terrorism by both governments and revolutionaries.
