[CTRL] Turkey Teed Off at EU over Greece
-Caveat Lector- Turkish Premier Critical of EU .c The Associated Press ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) -- The prime minister on Saturday criticized the European Union for failing to advance Turkey's bid to join the organization during a summit this week, the Anatolia news agency reported. Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said the EU had not lived up to Turkey's expectations and accused Greece, an EU member and Turkey's long-standing rival, of blocking its entrance to the 15-member union. ``The European Union is a very big organization but it appears to have surrendered to Greece,'' Ecevit told reporters after meeting with President Suleyman Demirel. Turkey and Greece are at odds over the division of Cyprus and have numerous territorial disputes in the Aegean. At the EU summit in Cologne, Germany, that ended Friday, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder pressed the 15-member union to offer Turkey talks on EU membership once it met its human rights conditions, but failed to convince his European partners. Germany currently holds the EU's rotating presidency. Turkey was excluded from EU enlargement talks in December 1997 because of its poor human rights record. Ankara has since put its relations with the EU on hold. The trial of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan could further alienate Turkey from the EU. Ocalan, whose trial opened Monday, faces the death penalty if convicted of treason for leading a 15-year war of Kurdish autonomy in Turkey's southeast.

[CTRL] Gay Philanthropist Named Ambassador
-Caveat Lector- But why not ambassador to Belgium? Gay Philanthropist Named Ambassador By KIM CURTIS .c The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The controversy over the new U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg looms larger than the tiny country. James C. Hormel, appointed to the post Friday by President Clinton, has been dean of the University of Chicago law school and has built a reputation as one of San Francisco's most generous philanthropists. But Hormel, who has diplomatic experience, is likely to be remembered less for his diplomatic skills than as the nation's first openly gay ambassador. Clinton's appointment, made while the Senate was in recess, angered Catholics and religious conservatives by bypassing senators who had held up Hormel's nomination since October 1997. They fear that Hormel, who used part of his family's Hormel food fortune to help create the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay and lesbian political group, will promote a radical agenda. The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights opposes Hormel because he has refused to condemn the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an irreverent group of habit-wearing drag queens. ``It's not the man's sexual orientation, but his record of anti-Catholic bigotry,'' said William Donohue, president of the league. Others, however, acknowledge that sexual orientation is the issue. ``I think that by forcing Americans to be represented by a radical homosexual activist like Hormel, Clinton is showing his contempt for traditional morality, marriage, sexual fidelity and any concept of honor,'' said Robert Knight with the Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council, a religious lobby. ``Who's he going to appoint next? Larry Flynt as ambassador to the Vatican?'' Hormel, 66, who twice was named to U.S. delegations to the United Nations, made few public comments during the long nomination fight. ``I hardly view myself as a 'radical,''' he wrote to Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But in 1996 he described himself as a mentor to homosexuals, ``part elder statesman for a constituency that is still in its adolescence in terms of experiencing its wisdom and empowerment.'' Hormel's friends call him charming and funny, a good listener and a consummate host. ``He has a real sense of foreign relations, always has,'' says Alice Turner, who was married to Hormel from 1955 to '65. ``He is extraordinarily well-qualified -- overqualified -- for this appointment.'' Hormel's nomination cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1997 and secured bipartisan Senate support. Officials in Luxembourg, where 97 percent of the population of 425,000 is Catholic, said it would welcome Hormel as ambassador. But Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, who has compared homosexuality to vices such as kleptomania and sex addiction, refused to schedule a floor vote. ``On one hand, you have these anti-gay senators saying we don't need legislation to protect gays and lesbians but you have the United States Senate discriminating against someone because he's gay,'' says David Smith of the Human Rights Campaign. ``It was very un-American and unfair.'' Friends say that, far from being a radical activist, Hormel is a devoted family man, to his partner, Timothy Wu, and to his children -- four daughters and a son, and 13 grandchildren. ``My father has better family values than most parents I know. He is very dedicated to his family,'' says James Hormel Jr., who moved to San Francisco to live near his father. ``Our family is different, yes, but it is extremely strong. We love each other very much.'' DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed. Substancenot soapboxing!

[CTRL] Income, taxes and demagoguery
-Caveat Lector- Income, taxes and demagoguery by Thomas Sowell WHEN YOU HEAR POLITICIANS and intellectuals talking -- often very loudly -- about "the rich," do you ever wonder who they are talking about and how much money those "rich" people make? And do you ever wonder why those who are making so much noise about the rich don't just come right out and tell us what kind of money they are talking about? Instead, we hear about the top 10 percent or the top 5 percent. But why so squeamish about saying how much money that represents? There is a reason for all this noise about the rich and for all the silence about how much money is involved. Talking about the rich is politically very useful for whipping up envy and getting support for heavy taxes. But the incomes of most people in the top 5 or 10 percent are a lot less than most Americans would consider rich. If the incomes of all the people in an American household adds up to $72,000, that puts them in the top 10 percent of all households. But, when a husband and wife make $36,000 apiece, most of us would not consider them rich. Nor would we be likely to think that putting heavy taxes on them would be a good idea. Any attempt to lower the taxes of such a couple is guaranteed to bring out the noisy demagogues in Congress, denouncing "tax cuts for the rich" because people in the top 10 percent would benefit. But the only people whose taxes can be cut are the people who are paying taxes -- mostly people in the upper brackets, who are not rich. Even the top 5 percent of households do not usually fit what most of us would consider to be the rich. If all the incomes in your household add up to $127,000, then you are one of those top 5 percent who are so rich that the government thinks it should be taxing you like mad. That's $63,500 apiece if husband and wife are both working about what mid-level civil servants would make. Or, if only one person is working and earning the whole $127,000 alone, that is about the average salary of a college president -- and much less than the average income of a college athletic coach. It is nowhere in the ball park compared to the incomes of top lawyers, corporate executives or professional athletes. What about the really rich people --- the ones with their own private jets and mansions here and there? There are such people but there are not enough of them to affect the statistics very much. Moreover, genuinely rich people usually have tax accountants to go with their jets and mansions, so that they can keep their jets and mansions. The people who really get hit hard by taxes that are supposed to be aking the rich are ordinary people who happen to be at the stage of their lives where they are earning more than they did in years past and more than they will be earning in the future. These are largely people in their 50s or early 60s who have worked their way up to a decent income and are seeing much of it drained away by politicians who proclaim that "the rich" ought to pay "their fair share." This "fair share" is as completely undefined as "the rich" themselves. The demagogues don't dare talk specifics in either case or people will start to see through them. If we look at wealth instead of income, it becomes even more obvious that "the rich" are not a different class of people but largely people in older age brackets who have accumulated some money in a pension fund, paid off most of their mortgage and put a little money aside to see them through retirement and the illnesses of old age. The average net worth of households headed by someone 65 years old or older is more than 10 times the net worth of households headed by someone under 35 years of age. But these aren't different classes of people, because everyone who is 65 or older was once 35 or younger. Many of the statistical "poor" are just as fictitious as the statistical "rich." For most Americans, being in the bottom 20 percent of the income distribution is strictly a transitional phase. More of them rise to the top 20 percent than remain at the bottom, and the rest of them are scattered all in between. Most Americans are likely to have incomes in the top 10 percent at some point or other during their lives. So when politicians start talking about taxing the rich, send not to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Revising Capitalism/ rebuttal.
-Caveat Lector- Nurev: No matter what changes and inovations Capitalism goes through, there always remains the deadly constants. 1- Private ownership of large amounts of capital ALWAYS causes concentration of wealth into few hands. With that ALWAYS comes control and exploitation of society. MJ: This is both absurd AND false. Take the greatest malignment of all 'Robber Barons', John D. Rockefeller. The efficiencies of economies of scale and vertical integration caused the prices of refined petroleum to fall from over 30 cents a gallon in 1869 to 10 cents by 1874 and to 5.9 cents by 1897. During the same period, Rockefeller reduced his average costs from 3 cents to 0.29 cents per gallon. The production of refined petroleum increased rapidly throughout this period of increasing dominance by Standard Oil as well, as increased competition was provided by Associated Oil and Gas, Texaco, the Gulf Company, and 147 independent refineries that had sprung into existence by 1911 -- the year in which the government forced the breakup of Standard Oil. Contrary to popular mythology, Standard Oil's market share DECLINED from 88 percent in 1890 to 64 percent by 1911. Because of intense competition the company's oil production as a percentage of total market supply had declined to a mere 11 percent in 1911, down from 34 percent in 1898. Certainly 'exploiting' society with high prices for profit, squeezing out competitors and sticking it to anyone he could find. Nurev: 2- Capitalism, like cancer, is defined by growth. The ecology of the planet can no longer tolerate systems based on waste and growth. MJ: This is both absurd AND false. The key to stopping pollution is the hallmark of capitalism: private property. The reason that it is so easy to pollute rivers, oceans, the air, and land is because they are publicly owned. Since public property partially belongs to everyone, no one person takes care of it, and property with no real owner is easy to pollute. However, if all property was privately owned, then no one could dump in a river that they owned only a section of because the waste would drift into another person's part of the river, thus violating their property rights. The same applies to beaches and oceans. If the ocean was divided up into privately owned portions, then no one could pollute their part of the ocean without the pollution spilling into someone else's property. Also, if the beaches and parks were privately owned and the owner charged money for people to use his land, then it would be in his economic self-interest to keep his beach or park clean and pollution free so people would frequent his property more than his competitors. It is through this same self-interest that points to the absurdity of 'waste' you claim above. Nurev: 3- Capitalism is theft. Its success depends on how much the capitalist can steal from the worker on one end, and the buyer on the other. MJ: There is no FORCE involved. The 'Capitalist' seeks to fill a market with a product people 'need' or have a 'perceived need'. In a capitalist society all workers are free to choose who they are going to work for. So if a worker doesn't like the terms that an employer is offering them for a job, they can simply look for work elsewhere until they find a better job, or not accept any job at all. Just because a worker doesn't like everything about his job doesn't mean he is being 'exploited'. For someone to be exploited they have to be physically forced to work against their own will. It is only a government, not a businessman, that has the type of power necessary to force people to work against their own judgment. Employers must compete for the services of their employees. If an employer offers lower salaries or poorer working conditions than other employers in a given field, workers will seek to work elsewhere, and the employer will lose his employees and go out of business. This means that it is in the economic self-interest of employers to provide higher wages and better working conditions than their competitors. Wages are not risen or lowered because an employer is kind or cruel. Wages, like all other commodities, are subject to the law of supply and demand. It is an inevitable consequence of capitalism, through the accumulation of capital and the widening of labor markets, that workers' wages rise and their choices of employment increase over time. It is the lean toward capitalism, not monopolistic unions or 'pro-worker' legislation, that brought the pre-industrial serf out of his misery. Nurev: 4- Capitalism causes mental illness in the form of addiction to money. MJ: Non sequitur. Nurev: 5- No Capitalist is really supportive of competition. Competition is wasteful and chancy. Monopoly is the true aim of capitalists. MJ: A coercive monopoly is exclusive control in a
[CTRL] Shootings a boon to home education
-Caveat Lector- BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS Shootings a boon to home education More parents opt out of system after Colorado By Paul Chesser © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Fear resulting from recent violence in public schools is sparking interest in home schooling across the United States. While national media figures and government officials pine for more gun control and limiting Internet access, many parents are quietly taking actions on their own. It is too soon after recent school shooting incidents in Littleton, Colo., and Conyers, Ga., to measure statistically whether parents are adopting alternative methods to educate their children, but evidence indicates that many parents are at least considering teaching their children at home next year. Phone call inquiries to various state home school associations throughout the country have jumped since the Columbine High School shootings April 20, with some parents panic-stricken in their search to find other educational options for their children. "One father called us and said he couldn't do his job because he was worried about his kids," said Mary Jo Patterson, director of the Georgia Home Education Association. "Parents, after they've put them in school, think their kids are in some kind of jeopardy." She added that there are many high school students who are calling who don't want to go back to school. There is some consensus among home schooling advocates that the Columbine incident has caused a greater rise in interest than any other recent school shooting occurrence. "This thing has got parents in a panic," said Joe Adams, a co-director of the Christian Home Educators of Kentucky. "We had a surge (of calls) after Paducah," said Adams, referring to the December 1997 school shooting in West Paducah, Ky. "But not as big as Littleton -- Littleton caused a burst." Adams said he is receiving four or five e-mails daily from parents who want to remove their children from public school. The Home School Legal Defense Association reports they are also fielding a lot more questions from concerned parents since the Littleton incident. Many are saying it's "the straw that broke the camel's back," according to President Michael Farris. Some state home school organizations are also seeing large increases in attendance at conventions this year, which are traditionally held in the spring. Patterson said that about 2,000 people normally attend the Georgia home school convention, but this year over 3,000 came. The event was held on April 23 and 24, only days after the shootings in Littleton. Likewise, Adams is anticipating a 25 percent increase in attendance over last year for Kentucky's convention in July. The sense of urgency has also hit ground zero in Denver, where the Christian Home Educators of Colorado have been swarmed with inquiries. Calls have increased fivefold, from about 60 a month to over 300. CHEC holds monthly workshops that explain home schooling laws, curriculums and philosophies to curious parents. Participation grew from 15 in February to 45 in May, and registration exploded to 500 for June's session. "People are looking for solutions -- not just bulletproof vests," said Kevin Swanson, Executive Director of CHEC. Parents seeking advice about home schooling from advocacy organizations are getting a consistent message: "Go for it." However, the message also contains a caveat: "Be prepared." Farris wrote in a May 4 commentary for the Washington Times that "people should not choose to home school out of a momentary panic resulting from watching the news about Colorado. You won't have the self-discipline to succeed if that is your sole motivation." In an interview with WorldNetDaily Farris added that HSLDA is "trying to give parents a realistic assessment of what it takes to home school. You won't have the 'stick-to-itness' that it requires if the sole motivation is fear." Some organizations are inviting parents to test the home schooling waters in measured ways. Swanson said that he is encouraging those who are unsure to try home schooling for one year. Patterson suggests that students try out a correspondence school, because "it feels more like what they're used to." Vicki Brady, who co-hosts the syndicated radio call-in show Home Schooling USA with her husband Terry, says parents should home school regardless of their motivation. "We started home schooling because there was nothing else to do," she said. The Bradys had received several discouraging assessments of their learning-disabled child, so they seized the opportunity to home educate. The child now excels, according to Mrs. Brady. "(Families) may try it for a year and say, 'Why didn't I do this before?" said Mrs. Brady. "Or, they might feel more comfortable putting them back (in public school) after a year. But taking them out for a year is not going to hurt them." William Lloyd of the National Home Education Research Institute said that safety is only cited as fifth in importance by parents as a reason to

[CTRL] Top Communist spy who defected to West is acquitted
-Caveat Lector- Top Communist spy who defected to West is acquitted BUCHAREST, Romania, Jun 07, 1999 (AP Worldstream via COMTEX) -- Romania's top court on Monday acquitted former top Communist spy Ion Pacepa of treason and desertion 21 years after he defected to the United States. Pacepa had been convicted in absentia and sentenced to death under the rule of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. A retrial was ordered on the grounds of vague legal technicalities, but it was widely believed to be an attempt to win favor with the West and enhance Romania's chances for NATO membership. The new trial in the Supreme Court of Justice was brief, with the verdict coming within a few hours after the proceedings started. Judge Paul Todea, who read the verdict, said there was insufficient evidence to prove treason and desertion. ''His defection addressed those that had hope'' that communism would end, Pacepa's lawyer Lucian Belcea told the court. ''Where's the treason?'' Pacepa was deputy head of foreign intelligence and his defection was a severe blow to Romania's Securitate secret police. He was one of the highest ranking officials to defect from any Soviet Bloc country. After Pacepa defected, Ceausescu ordered his image erased from official photographs. The dictator became more paranoid after he was forced to recall dozens of double agents serving in Romania's embassies abroad, Pacepa contends in his book, ''Red Horizons.'' Pacepa's expose quickly deflated the image Ceausescu had built up as a maverick leader within the Soviet Bloc. Glamorous visits, such as one in which he was decorated by Queen Elizabeth II, came to a halt. Mystery and rumor surrounding Pacepa's case still flourish at home, including stories that he has undergone extensive plastic surgery to hide his identity. In recent weeks, former high-level officers in the Securitate secret police have said Pacepa worked as a double-agent for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency before his defection. They also say Pacepa, who now lives in a secret location in the United States, is eager to return to Romania to retrieve assets that were confiscated. Pacepa says he did not come into contact with the CIA until after he defected, and that his personal assets were not significant. Romania is one of the few former Soviet bloc countries that has not opened its secret police files, estimated to number 125 million. Practically nobody in public life has admitted to working for the service, although more than one-quarter of Romania's 23 million people were believed to have collaborated in some form. Last year, the former health minister and another top politician were forced to resign after revelations that they had worked for the Securitate, and an atmosphere of suspicion remains strong in society. Since his defection, he says, Pacepa has not made one telephone call to Romania for fear his number could be traced. He answered questions from The Associated Press via fax through a third party. He said, however, that he would like to return to Romania ''to kneel at my parents' graves as I did the day before I fled.''

Re: [CTRL] [Jamie] Why Faction 2 Wants . . .
-Caveat Lector- I'm not aware of a book called "Revelations," Revelation yeah, but no "Revelations." But other then not even knowing the name of the book, everything else is right on. Whatever, Jamie Yes, Greek. Still, "Revelations" itself is pretty thoroughly Jewish, repeating (recycling) the symbolism first used by certain OT prophets, but with an exaggerated "hellfire damnation" element added by the more violent revolutionary wing of the Zealots around John the Baptist, whom the Herodians feared more than Jesus himself. The best part of it --the vision of the Eternal, the Throne, the Living Creatures, etc-- is pure Kabbalah. The traditional Jewish view is that "prophecy" ENDED with Malachi, i.e., with Ezra. It's the companion book by "John" (likely not even the SAME "John"), the GOSPEL of--, whose contents and ideas are "Mystery Cult" in spirit -- from a HELLENISTIC Jewish sect, influenced by Alexandrian Philo Judaeus and the proto-Gnostics around Paul. "John" likewise gives evidence of editing and at least two distinct voices writing. It owes its "legitimacy" as canon to those pericopes which are brief and to the point, rather like the episodes in the Gospel of Mark. The rambling, repetitive LONG monologues from the mouth of "Jesus" are the second layer, parabolic images literally beaten to death. "John" reflects the minority GREEK perspective of syncretistic Johannite "Christians." (You'll note that in the book itself, numerous favorable references are made to them.)

[CTRL] Fwd: Weekly Analysis June 7, 1999
__ Visit the New Asia Intelligence Center http://www.stratfor.com/asia/ __ STRATFOR's Global Intelligence Update Weekly Analysis June 7, 1999 Of G-8, Rambouillet, Compromise and Surrender Summary: Things are becoming curious indeed. When Milosevic agreed to the G-8 accords, we thought this meant he was agreeing to the terms agreed to in Bonn: a UN peacekeeping force under UN command in which some troops would be drawn from NATO, but many others would be from non-NATO countries. NATO, it turned out very quickly, had a different understanding of the Bonn G-8 agreements. NATO was reading it as essentially the same as the Rambouillet accords that Milosevic had rejected. Who had agreed to what is emerging as a mystery of the first order? Analysis: We have argued for the past several weeks that the basic outlines of a settlement are in place and that domestic politics have been holding up a settlement. Neither NATO nor the Serbs could afford to let it appear that they were defeated. Thus, a delicate ballet had to be acted out in which a settlement could be portrayed by each side as a victory or, at the very least, as something other than a defeat. That is why the G-8 agreement hammered out in Bonn was so important. It was a document that allowed both sides to claim that they had not been defeated. For that to work, however, each side had to avoid being greedy. Like a couple sharing a bed in a bad marriage, each had to leave enough cover for the other. What happened this weekend seems to be that NATO could not resist the temptation to take Milosevic's cover away from him. Worse yet, NATO tried to steal Yeltsin's cover. The result is a settlement in trouble, at least for now. Let's begin by reviewing the core issue separating NATO and Belgrade. Serbia had refused to sign at the Rambouillet agreements because of two core issues, both having to do with the concept of Serbian sovereignty over Kosovo. First, Serbia would not agree to the withdrawal of all troops from Kosovo. Some troops, numbers unspecified, had to remain. Second, Serbia was not prepared to allow a heavily armed NATO force to occupy Kosovo. It was prepared to allow a United Nations peacekeeping force into Kosovo. There were other issues, but none were as central as these two. NATO told the Serbs to take it or leave it. Serbia left it. The Russians, essentially supporting the Serb position, entered the discussions. After intense negotiations between primarily the Germans and Russians, followed by broader discussions, the G-8 accords were established in Bonn (the text is available at http://www.stratfor.com/crisis/kosovo/specialreports/special62.htm? section=3 ) The G-8 accords constituted an agreement between NATO and Russia. It was the price that Russia demanded in order to attempt to negotiate a settlement with Belgrade. The G-8 accords were a redefinition of the NATO demands into terms that Moscow felt Belgrade would accept and which could fit into Russia's and Belgrade's core concept of Serbian sovereignty over Kosovo. It was never conceived of by anyone, at the time it was negotiated, as a Serbian surrender. Rather, it was perceived as a center-point between NATO and Serbian demands that would allow for a workable settlement. Russia agreed that an armed force would occupy Kosovo. NATO agreed that that force would be under United Nations and not NATO command. The force was not defined but it was clearly intended that the force would include large numbers of non-NATO troops. It should be remembered that the G-8 accords were pressed on the Americans and British by the Italians and in particular by the Germans. Fearful of an extended bombing campaign, completely opposed to a ground war, and terrified of long-term Russian hostility, the Germans and Italians were the architects of the G-8 agreement. They wanted that agreement in order to find some way out of what appeared to be a hopeless deadlock. They were the driving force behind the G-8 accords and they clearly saw them as a compromise between the Serb position and Rambouillet. The G-8 agreement accepted the principle of the return of Kosovo Albanians to their homes and the creation of an autonomous Kosovo under Serbian sovereignty. But the important price NATO paid in the Bonn G-8 talks was the agreement that the United Nations and not NATO would command and control troops moving into Kosovo. It was not clear what the command structure would be beyond this, nor was it clear what precisely the composition of the occupying force would be. However, it was clear that it would be a United Nations force with significant non-NATO presence. When the Russians first brought the agreement to the Serbs, they focused on the composition of the forces, demanding that no NATO country that had bombed Serbia participate in the peacekeeping force. That is where the negotiations stood before
[CTRL] Fwd: New Asia Intelligence Center
__ Stratfor's FREE Kosovo Crisis Center - http://www.stratfor.com/kosovo/crisis/ The most comprehensive coverage of the Kosovo Crisis anywhere on the Internet __ Stratfor Launches its Asia Intelligence Center A little over two months ago, Stratfor opened its Kosovo Crisis Center. In a sense, this was an experiment. We wanted to see whether we could use the web to deliver intelligence with the speed of television and the depth of print. The goal was not only to provide news but also Stratfor's own intelligence analysis in real time. This required the crew at Stratfor to give up a few minor pleasures, like sleep, family, friends, and to focus on war, violence, and brutality. But, it beats working for a living. The result seems to be pretty good. In April, we had about 718,000 individual sessions on our site and over 780,000 in May in spite of declining interest in the war here in the United States. That's pretty good for a site that has marketed itself only through a single email and as a header on our GIU. We've decided to try to generate revenue (yes, we need to make money) from advertising rather than charging subscription fees. So please click on our advertising, since we sometimes get paid by the click and it helps keep us away from the dreaded term: subscription fees. Money aside, we are particularly proud of the daily emails condemning us for either being in the pay of the Serb government or NATO dupes. That, plus the fact that we have received emails praising our work from inside of NATO headquarters as well as from Belgrade convinces us, even more than the numbers do, that we have a role to play and a service to provide. In fact, both the Village Voice and Rush Limbaugh have quoted us favorably, which is pretty hard to achieve. The questions keep coming: who are we and what is our agenda? So long as no one can figure that out, we're dong our job: unbiased analysis deriving its authority from its track record rather than credentials. So, we declare the Kosovo site a success. That means that we think we can (a) do this on a broader scale and (b) make money doing it. We are going to broaden our offerings by a quantum leap. We are going global. By the end of this summer, we will have created the following Intelligence Centers: Asia, CIS, Middle East/Africa, Latin America, and Europe, in that sequence. In October, we will open our U.S. Elections Intelligence Center, bringing our focus to domestic American issues for the first time. Whenever a crisis occurs, be it military, financial or political, Stratfor will open its Crisis Center for the kind of extremely intense, highly focused coverage you've seen on our Kosovo site. As our first step, we are officially opening the Asia Intelligence Center. It is modeled on the Kosovo site, containing what we hope is useful information as well as news and analysis. We would like all of you to visit the Asia site by coming to http://www.stratfor.com/ and clicking on the Asia Intelligence Center on the home page. The AIC is already running with news, commentary, special reports, and a growing base of information.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Political Innovations Your Senator Will Soon Be a Robot No wonder he wants Flesh Control Now! A Cambridge, Mass., company that has devised an artificial intelligence software package that can read and respond to e-mail confirmed Thursday that it has a new client -- the US Senate. The company is General Interactive Inc., and it was cofounded by V.A. Shiva, an MIT graduate who bills himself as ``Dr. E-mail.'' Shiva and GII have come up with an automated system that, in theory, would allow computers, rather than people, to answer many of the e-mails voters send to their senators. That could come in handy for the Senate, which a few months ago was awash in e-mails churned up by the impeachment hearings. ``This solution will help senators reduce processing time when tracking and responding to e-mail received from their constituents,'' said Steve Walker, the Senate's manager of Web and technology assessment. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The Senate contract is quite a coup for Shiva and GII. Five yars ago, Shiva was running a start-up that helped Cambridge artists sell their work on the Internet. Today GII makes a software package called EchoMail that analyzes, tracks, and responds to e-mail - in most cases without requiring a human to read individual e-mail messages. Among the firms that have hired GII are Nike Inc., ATT Corp., and IBM Corp. According to Shiva, the same technologies that have helped another client, Calvin Klein Inc., sell perfume may be an ideal tool for 21st century democracy. EchoMail ``is a phenomenal tool for listening to constituents,'' said Shiva, 35, a one-time wunderkind who worked on his first e-mail system as a New Jersey teenager. Bored by high school, Shiva became part of a team that devised a pioneer e-mail system for Rutgers University in 1979. Two years later, he enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where over the years he has studied pattern-recognition analysis, a key component to EchoMail. According to Shiva, EchoMail is the digital equivalent of an oil refinery. At an oil refinery, raw crude is pumped through various filters that separate it into coal, tar, and petroleum. EchoMail uses several methodologies, including artificial intelligence and pattern-recognition, as its filter as it refines a volume of e-mail. Recognizing words by their shapes, the system can log, route, track, understand, and respond to thousands of e-mails. The software is so semantically sensitive that Shiva boasts it can detect the attitude of an e-mail's writer. In the case of impeachment, the system could have categorized huge volumes of e-mail into voters for and against impeachment; those strongly pro Clinton and those who detested him; those from a Senator's state and those who were not; and Democrats vs. Republicans. (All this assumes, of course, that a constituent reveals this information in the contents of the e-mail.) What's more, EchoMail can update e-mail sentiment on a real-time basis, giving it some of the aspects of an instant opinion poll. ``People tell you who they are in an e-mail,'' he said. ``So you can extract valuable data from studying a person's e-mail, and that can go into a company's marketing data base.'' What's more, EchoMail can use that data to compose and send an e-mail response to the sender of the original e-mail. Suppose a constituent e-mails a Senator to express concern on such subjects as Medicare and gun control. In theory, EchoMail could sort through the senator's position papers on those issues, string together prefabricated paragraphs from its data bank, and then fuse them into a coherent, seemingly personalized whole that would be sent as a response. In most cases, a human aide in the Senate office would never read the constituent's e-mail; EchoMail would simply extract all useful information from the message and log the constituent's concerns and e-mail address into the Senator's data bank. Instead of having to sift through thousands of messages, a Senate aide could simply be presented with EchoMail's overview of what's on the minds of voters. To a business that receives 60,000 e-mail messages a month, the potential cost savings can be enormous. According to Shiva, it can cost a business about $9 to process a consumer inquiry by telephone. It can cost the same business about $5 to have a person read a consumer's e-mail and respond to it. But for a business client using EchoMail, the cost of analyzing and responding to a consumer's e-mail can drop to under $1, Shiva claims. There may be other benefits as well. EchoMail yields more valuable information for a client's customer data base than a call center processing a phone call, said Bruce Padmore, GII's chief technology officer and another MIT graduate. According to GII, EchoMail processes about 80 percent of a company's

(Approved by Governor September 27, 1998. Filed with Secretary of State September 28, 1998.) On this date I have signed Assembly Bill No. 48 with a deletion. This bill would grant immunity from criminal prosecution to anyone who is subject to prosecution under the state's assault weapons law for conduct related to an SKS rifle, as defined, committed during a specified period in which there were conflicting administrative designations of that weapon. This bill would make the immunity provisions fully retroactive to anyone who is subject to prosecution or prosecuted and convicted of violating the assault weapons law. I have deleted the $1.3 million appropriation. The expenditure of these funds appears premature in light of the pending review of the entire assault weapons law now before the California Supreme Court. PETE WILSON, Governor LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 48, R. Wright. Firearms: SKS rifles. Existing law prohibits any person from manufacturing, distributing, transporting, importing, possessing or offering for sale, giving, lending, or possessing, any assault weapon as defined, and requires any person who lawfully possesses an assault weapon to register the firearm within a specified period and under specified conditions. Assault weapons are defined as coming within a specified list of semiautomatic firearms or by declaration of the superior court that the weapon is an assault weapon. An "SKS with detachable magazine" is one of the designated weapons on the specified list of semiautomatic firearms. This bill would grant immunity from criminal prosecution to any person, firm, company, or corporation that is subject to prosecution under the above assault weapons law for conduct related to an SKS rifle, as defined, committed during a specified period in which there were conflicting administrative designations of that weapon, and would also provide that the designated SKS rifles are not subject to seizure by law enforcement for violation of the above assault weapons provisions prior to January 1, 2000. This bill would make the immunity provisions fully retroactive to any person, firm, company, or corporation subject to prosecution for, or prosecuted and convicted of, violating the above provisions. The bill would require the department to notify all district attorneys of the provisions of this bill, on or before January 31, 1999, and would make it a misdemeanor or a felony for any person, firm, company, or corporation in possession of an existing SKS rifle to fail to relinquish or dispose of the rifle on or before January 1, 2000. The bill would also require the department to purchase any SKS rifle relinquished pursuant to these provisions from funds appropriated for this purpose by future legislation, and to adopt regulations, including emergency regulations, for the purchase program. By creating a new offense, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would appropriate $1,300,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Justice for the purpose of purchasing firearms, as specified.

What are they doing right now that you are aware of? Richard Tomlinson: It seems that the British police are not taking any action against me, as they realise that I was not responsible for the list. However, MI6 are continuing to do everything they can to cause me legal problems around the world. Their latest move is to file charges against me in NZ. PC93: The British governments assertions that you had released 100's of names of SIS MI6 agents on your GeoCities website was patently false, yet they successfully stopped you from being able to have a webpage telling your story by making such a claim. This has occurred on two such occasions. What are your thoughts on this attempt at Net censorship? What do you plan on doing about it? or what do you think should be done about it? RT: Yes, this is quite true. They used all the fuss about the list as an excuse to take down my website. I think that they just objected to me criticising them in my site. My site contained nothing illegal. I could challenge the injunction against me in the Swiss courts, but I have decided not to do this because I can't afford the legal fees. I guess if some philanthropist stepped in to pay my fees I would do it, but the unfortunate reality is that the UK government has unlimited legal funds whereas I do not. PC93: I am interested in knowing (that is if you are "allowed" to speak to such questions)--Do you need any assistance? If so what is your message to those who may be interested in helping? RT: I have really appreciated all those people who have mirrored my site worldwide. I think that this is the best way of helping. It shows that the freedom of speech provided by the Internet is far more powerful than the outdated secrecy laws of a minor state. I think it will also force countries like China and Malaysia to rethink their internet censorship laws. PC93: Being that the ability to communicate freely has been and is now part of a widely accepted paradigm among those of intelligence in the Net community has anyone approached you in regards to providing site space so that you can be able to tell your story and communicate freely? RT: Yes, many people have offered to host my site. I have been reluctant to take up their offers just at the moment, but as soon as my legal position has become calmer I intend to put my site back up. PC93: There has been death threats, etc. and apparently a publication or newspaper (Sun Times?) encouraged people to write you electronically -- more than likely resulting in such threats occuring by suggesting that you were a traitor? What did they say? What are your thoughts? RT: Some of the mail I received after the Sun published my address was unpleasant and some really quite frightening. However, I thought it interesting that despite the Sun's hostile and one sided article, I still received more messages of support than criticism. I guess that that says a great deal about MI6's lack of public support in Britain. PC93: Is it true that you are in hiding? or is this an unfounded rumor? Aren't you now essentially in exile because of the British Government? You no longer can move freely between countries in the world. Can you fill us in on some details? What are your thoughts? RT: I am not really in hiding - just keeping a low profile. I certainly find the restrictions on my movement very irksome. I am banned from France, USA and Australia, and dare not move from Switzerland for the moment for fear of being arrested elsewhere. MI6 are able to cause me these problems by using their liaison with friendly foreign intelligence agencies. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this as MI6 are not legally accountable. PC93: Do you think that certain elements in the British government were and are really more afraid because of the information that you had on your website in regards to the death of Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana? i.e. the similarlity of what happened with a proposed plan to assassinate Slobodan Milosevic in 1993? RT: I am not sure. I suspect that they are more concerned that I am demistifying intelligence work and so diminishing their budget-negotiation power in Whitehall. PC93: You wrote a book which the British Government attacked you for and ultimately prevented you from publishing? Is this the case? RT: Yes. Indeed I was jailed for it! PC93: What was the British Government afraid of in that book? Wasn't it because of the contents of the book

Well let me explain . Blue Lodge Masons are known as the Public Masons. They are the P.R. branch of the Order of Freemasonry. Their degrees are pure fluff entertainment of no real value. They are not aware of TRASCO 33 or the overall structure of the Order of Freemasonry. They are brainwashed to be nice and charitable, to give "Masons" a good image before mankind. If the Order of Freemasonry was the Roman Catholic Church, Blue Lodge Masons would be the Altar Boys. The Scottish Rite is an artifical organization of worship for Lucifer. The degrees are meaningless, except fot the 33*. We use this organization as a feeder for rich Masons and evil Masons. While in the Scottish Rite, we evaluate potential candidates for TRASCO 33. If we see a good potential candidate, then the Rite gives them the 33*, which is their first overall view of the Order of Freemasonry. They are the priests, using the Roman Catholic comparison. The York Rite is an artifical organization, where the good Christian boys of Freemasonry can be happy. It keeps them from clogging up the Scottish Rite feeder group. Statistically, most of the good men of Freemasonry either stay as Blue Lodge Masons or go in the York Rite. All the rich, occultic, and evil Masons go into the Scottish Rite. Of course a lot of good Christian boys and non-evil Masons, enter it too but will usually abandon it for the York Rite. We also use the York Rite to launder a lot of money for TRASCO 33. Now to TRASCO 33. As Deputy Members pass away (that is the only way to leave TRASCO 33, no man can resign or demit from TRASCO 33), new Deputies are chosen by the Active Members. When they are chosen, they are given the Secret Master Mason Degree. Which is the TRUE Master Mason Degree, which can be found no where else. They are the bishops and

THE DEMON CENSORS We have reported how Demon closed down our Web page without specifying the complainers or the libels.It has just denied upwards of fifty subscribers access to News Groups again on specious grounds. One of its customers, an 8 year old boy, had never contacted a News Group. Nor had his computer been used by anyone else for that purpose. The 8-year-old boy is our grandson. Others have lodged complaints with Pulvertaft. Although they live in different locations in the UK Pulvertaft has given them the same reference numbers. Obviously censorship is being applied to people rather than to information.We had about ten attempts by the Labour Party to silence us before Demon pulled the plug.We have MI5 again compiling a list of undesirables and the Pulvertaft Committee ordering publishers to reject publications.

-Caveat Lector- from alt.freemasonry - As always, Caveat Lector. Om K - A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.freemasonry:107385"April 19, June 7, July 16/A - Subject: April 19, June 7, July 16 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kansan1225) Date: Sat, Jun 5, 1999 8:46 AM Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many evil acts have been perpetrated by clandestine Luciferian Masons (CLuMs) on or around these three dates, April 19, June 7, and July 16. What is the special meaning of these dates that makes the Harodim perpetrate their evil at a greater than usual rate? April 19 is the last day that Passover can be celebrated, depending on the peregrinations of the moon's phases within the solar year. It is the last day that innocent lambs can be slaughtered by the Harodim as counterfeit Paschal Lamb sacrifices. April 19 is also the last day of the zodiac sign of Aries, the Ram. June 7 comes 7 weeks, or 49 days, after April 19. It is the "Pentecost", or fiftieth day, of the CLuM Passover. The number 49 is very intriguing for CLuMs: 4 + 9 = 13. Also 7 x 7 = 49; this is an instance of "77", the mark of the vengeance of Lamech. July 16 comes 39 days after June 7. The number 39 is also important to CLuMs: 3 x 13 = 39; thus, 39 combines the number 3, a reminder of the CLuM Unholy Trinity, and the number 13, the most Masonically correct number. On the fortieth day after a birth, the mother is considered ritually purified and may enter a church again, according to Christian traditions. For example, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was presented to the Temple in Jerusalem by His Mother and Joseph on the fortieth day after His birth. This is celebrated on the feast of the Presentation of Our Lord on February 2, the fortieth day of Christmas, 39 days after December 25. Let me recapitulate some CLuM rituals and human sacrifices on these three dates: *** April 19, 1775: Battle of Lexington, MA. *** April 19, 1993: The Waco Holocaust, perpetrated by CLuM Brother Billy Blythe Clinton and Sister Janet "Nero" Reno. *** April 19, 1995: The OKC bombing, perpetrated by CLuM Brothers Timothy "Macbeth" McVeigh, Terry "McDuff" Nichols and their cohorts. *** June 7, 1776: In Continental Congress Richard Henry Lee of Virginia moves to declare independence for the Thirteen Colonies. This is the real, but occult (hidden), Independence Day for New Atlantis, a.k.a. the U.S.A. The "cowans and profane" have been deluded into celebrating the Fourth of July as Independence Day. New Atlantis is really a Gemini, a lying, two-faced scoundrel, just like the Antichrist, who was born on June 6, 1966. The name "Richard Henry Lee" is also significant: "Henry" is a CLuM version of "Aaron", the first High Priest of the Sacrificial Tabernacle. Other CLuM versions of "Aaron" are: Harry, Hendrick, Heinrich, Eric, Harvey, Irving, and the Arabic Haroun ( = Aaron). The name "Lee" is a CLuM version of "Levi", the Hebrew priestly tribe to which Aaron and Moses belonged. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia belonged to the same family that later gave birth to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. *** June 7, 1998: The dragging death of a black man by three whites in Jasper, TX. Masonic assassins, or sacrificers, come in threes. The ring- leader of this ritual is named John William King. The name John is a reference to St. John the Baptist, a "patron saint" of Free Masonry. "William" has the following CLuM meaning: the name's form "Will" read backwards is similar to "Levi", the name of the priestly Hebrew tribe. Many CLuM terms can be read backwards and forwards, i.e., NATO, a.k.a. OTAN, the armies of the Antichrist. St. John the Baptist was a descendant of Aaron, the first High Priest of the Sacrificial Tabernacle, and, therefore, a member of the tribe of Levi. The name "John William King" has a similar structure to the name of the war criminal Harry S Truman, a.k.a. "Aaron Solomon True Man". This latter name means "High Priest and King, 'True Man', as a descendant of Cain, the son of Lucifer/Satan (according to CLuM mythology)". Therefore, the CLuM meaning of "John William King" is the "Priest John, a Levite and a King". The 1998 ritual murder in Jasper, TX, was organized to further initiate African-Americans into the New World Order. Their initiation had already started with the sacrifice of their "King", Martin Luther King, Jr., on April 4, 1968, a counterfeit Paschal Lamb sacrifice for that year. July 16, 1918: Czar Nicholas II of Russia and his whole family are ritually murdered by the Bolsheviks, a Harodim front, in Ekaterinburg, Siberia. As CLuM luck would have it, Ekaterinburg happens to be the hometown of the present day "Czar", CLuM Brother Boris "Boozer" Yeltsin. July 16, 1945: The CLuMs succeed in exploding an atomic bomb at the (Unholy) Trinity Site in New Mexico, close to the N. 33rd parallel. A few days later, "Aaron Solomon True Man" ritually

-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Secret Germany - Stauffenberg and the Mystical Crusade Against Hitler Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh,(C) 1994 PENGUIN BOOKS Published by the Penguin Group Penguin Books Ltd. 27 Wrights Lane London W8 3TZ, England --[13]-- 12 Legislators of the World Stefan George was born at a village near Bingen, on the Rhine between Koblenz and Wiesbaden, in 1868. He was thus three years younger than William Butler Yeats, the English-language poet he most resembles, and older than his two great Austrian contemporaries, Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Rainer Maria Rilke, by six and seven years respectively. There was one other child in his family, an elder sister. His parents owned a few vineyards, made their living in the wine trade and were devout Roman Catholics, which George himself would quickly cease to be. Even as a schoolboy, George is said to have kept aloof from others and displayed a haughty, autocratic personality. He only joined such groups, clubs or student organisations as he could lead or preside over - and, when this was not possible, he would create his own. He began writing poetry at the age of eighteen and in 1887 began to edit his school's literary journal. He left school a year later in order to travel. Like so many important German poets and novelists, he felt magnetically drawn to southern Europe; but if the lure for Goethe, Holderlin, Heine, Mann and others was Greece or Italy, George - though certainly devoted to the world of classical antiquity - felt a profound affinity for Spain. In 1888, George visited England. In February of the following year, he visited Italy and then, in March, he made the first of a number of pilgrimages to Paris. Here he became acquainted with many symbolist literary figures, including Verlaine and the dying Villiers de l'lsle-Adam. Eventually he was introduced, and apprenticed himself, to the arch-mage of 'le symbolisme', Stephane Mallarme, who was also revered as a prophet and near demi-god by such English and Irish artists as George Moore, Arthur Symons, Ernest Dowson, Lionel Johnson, Oscar Wilde and W. B. Yeats. Like them, George fell under Mallarme's spell, fervently embraced the symbolist aesthetic and adopted aspects of the French master's inscrutable demeanour. In certain respects - an insistence on rigour, discipline and an almost monastic asceticism, for example - George even outdid Mallarme. In consequence, he contemptuously repudiated the lurid morbidity and 'decadence' - exemplified by the novelist Joris-Karl Huysmans - with which French symbolism was often associated, and which Mallarme deigned to tolerate. This repudiation imparted to both his work and his personality a hard, uncompromising and frosty edge, which differentiated him from Hofmannsthal and Rilke, his Austrian contemporaries and fellow symbolist exponents. Yet, like Hofmannsthal and Rilke, George dedicated himself self-consciously, and with a genuinely religious sense of vocation, to the life of the spirit - which meant, of course, the life of Art, in its most exalted, orphic and prophetic sense. George subscribed to the prevailing dictum of 'l'art pour l'art', 'art for art's sake', but art, for George, as for the other great figures of his generation, was not what it might be for most people today - not just one of many possible and equally valid human endeavours. On the contrary, art was nothing less than a repository for the sacred, a conduit between spirit and the mundane world, a lens into the numinous. For George - as for Rilke, Hofmannsthal, Yeats, Joyce, Mann, Proust and the other monumental poets and novelists of the early twentieth century - art was a mystical vocation, and the artist was a combination of priest, prophet, magus, sorcerer, occult adept, metaphorical alchemist and, ultimately, martyr to his calling. In consequence, the frontiers between art and religion, art and magic, art and the esoteric, were deliberately blurred. George concurred with Shelley's famous statement that 'poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world', and resented. the fact that they were unacknowledged. He regarded the poet as 'the appointed keeper of the nation's inner strength'- in other words, of its 'fork souls or true collective identity. The poet, in effect, was not what he is generally understood to be, but something closer to the sacred bards of ancient Wales and Ireland, or the wrathful and chastising prophets of the Old Testament: In placid times they say the poet is A winged child who sings his tender dreams And showers beauty on a busy world. But when abuses swell into a storm, And Destiny pounds at the door his verses Ring like a pick on ore . . . When all are blinded he, the only seer, Unveils the coming doom in vain . . .[1] And further: But in a mournful age it is the poet Who keeps the marrow sound, the germ alive. He stirs the holy flame . . . A younger generation rises towards him, The youths who, steeled by years of galling

This drug cartel also conducted 1,000's of assassinations for the CIA, DEA and others. These assassinations included politicians, judges, police and many other high ranking members of the government. I wired their plant where they made tons of crack cocaine daily. I worked on a machine that they used to vaporize the bodies. I worked on their crematorium. This drug cartel was ran by the CIA through the DEA. The DEA ran a gang in Arizona named the Dirty Dozen that ran 35% of all the drugs in the United States. This is not my figure, this is the CIA's figure. I destroyed this gang while I was working with the FBI and it has now disbanded and its members now are part of the Hells Angles. This was done so they could escape the FBI and many others. This also offered them new sources of cover for their operations. Much of the work I did was done for the corporations that the CIA and others controlled and was normal work. In 1992 while I was working with the FBI against the CIA, DEA and others I set up and went and got the DEA so the FBI could further understand their operations. This operation was very successful and ended up costing the DEA, CIA and other 100's of billions of dollars in lost drug revenues and other moneys they were funneling out of the government. After I had gone all over the country with the FBI setting up things so the FBI could learn how the operations were done and who was doing them I returned to Phoenix and the DEA and other members of the drug cartel started their attack on me. I'm very disabled tonight from the torture their putting me through and this letter doesn't say what I'm trying to say. I'm going to keep on typing because tomorrow may be worse. After I returned to Phoenix the DEA and others backed off for a while but when they kept losing all their drug shipments and I kept feeding the FBI more information they decided they had no choice but to remove me. Many assassination attempts were made against me and all were stopped by the FBI and others. After they realized that they weren't going to be able to assassinate me they decided to frame me as a drug dealer. This was done in a massive covert operation which was all documented by the FBI and many others. After framing me as a drug dealer they obtained a court order to inject CIA designed torture devices in both sides of my neck. These devices had been used against me in the past and I had also read their files on the designing, testing and manufacturing of these devices. After this I offered them a peace treaty which they refused and have tortured me satanically since then. While I was working with the FBI I gave them a lot of information on many things. Not only did I give them the information, I would set up the events and prove the information was true. When I tell you these are CIA designed torture devices they injected in my neck this is not surreal this is a fact and the FBI has even told me they are CIA devices. These devices are used widely in the western world and are used to control victims until they can be imprisoned or killed and are used under court orders as bugging devices. These devices have caused many 1,000's of deaths and are beyond the normal person understanding of the use of torture. After the injection of these devices I told the DEA that I would file suit againt them if the torture continued. They believed that they could stop me from any suit with the devices which they almost have. I filed suit in federal court against the United States for the use of torture. My first suit was thrown out by a judge that I had given the FBI many years before. I evan did all of this judges electrical work for many years. I filed charges against the judge and the charges were dismissed. We are now back in court under the same judge and he refuses to remove himself from the case. My lawsuit is ongoing. My wife worked for this drug cartel from the age of 12 and she was used as a child for sex for politicians and others. She also furnished girls for their operations. I'm now divorced and the DEA has also injected her with the devices so she is unable to say anything with be tortured. She has always had implants and I have had them for over 20 years. I know who ran

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Gloomy Sunday Folklore
-Caveat Lector- I just want to say that I am surprised by the fact that even though this list is primarily into government conspiracy that music still ends up being part of the blame for why us humans do terrible things. I like all sorts of music..blues, classical, pop, alternative, old punk, and heavy metal, and even what's called by some -"death metal". But, I don't want to kill people, and I didn't even when I used to lots and lots of drugs, hated my parents and thought anyone that looked normal or who appeared to be conforming to mainstream society was an idiot. The song Gloomy Sunday actually came back again (and probably did again before that) in the late 80's- and you're gonna love this - a band named Christian Death sang it. It was one of my favorite songs, I thought it was beautiful, and still do. But powerful enough to drive people to their death? I don't think so. People like music that somehow strikes a chord with them. If I was depressed and feeling sorry for myself and felt that no one understood me, and I heard a song that somehow communicated how I ALREADY FELT I might like it more. That song has powerful, well written lyrics, and while trying to come up with some sort note or explanation that said perfectly how I felt and I couldn't to my satisfaction, I might use a song. That makes more sense to me than the music creating something in a person that was never there before. Marilyn Manson IS weird looking, and he says and writes things that make people uncomfortable, but that does not mean that he is looking to turn young people into killers. I fear MUCH more the pleasant, charismatic, well dressed person who seems to have your wellbeing as the sole purpose for his or her existence, who really wants you locked up like a dog slaving away in misery for the rest of your life. The problem with people like Marilyn Manson is that they make it so easy to hate them, I wish very much that all the bad guys really were that easy to spot. That would make things a lot easier, don't you think? - Original Message - From: Colleen Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 06, 1999 10:06 PM Subject: [CTRL] Fwd: Gloomy Sunday Folklore : Am forwarding a song, that was written in 1936...I remembered my mothre : telling me of this song - she had two degrees and psychology was her : major, etc. : : Since I was only five or so, stuff like this always scared me; we were : raised on classical music, and nothing such as this type of music would : ever be permitted; nor would books, which then probably were not too : bad, but everything was almost censored before it hit our house. : : Now Littleton - drugs, music, etc., but primarily drugs did play a major : role in the murders - plus destroyed the lives of two kids, who does not : fit the assassin type. : Under the influence of drugs, kids can lose complete control, suffer : from amnesia and do acts in a different state of mindthis Mafia : stuff, is bad enough; that plus I think that whole community is : sick. : : This song, the suicide song - I remember hearing it sung once, my mothr : played it and told me the story; as a teacher too, she guarded us : against any outside influences which she thought improper. : Over 100 individuals committed suicide and this song was blamed...my : guess would be those so doing, were under the influece of the drugs of : the day or alcoholics. : : Now - why is this song brought back after over 60 years.

@ BENT THEORIES -- The Hollow Earthers believe the Earth is a hollow sphere,
entered by large holes at either pole. One of the early supporters of this
theory was Cyrus Teed, who started the Koreshan Unity movement in 1870 (he
changed his name). He started a community south of Fort Myers Florida and
was determined to prove his theory scientifically. Nazis entertained many
occult theories in their quest for world domination, and Teed's was one of
them. At one point a Nazi expedition went to the Isle of Man. Its mission:
to get secret photos of the U.S. by pointing its powerful telescopes *up*.
Current believers look to a woman named Ruth Leedy who publishes a news-

[CTRL] COST OF PROTECTIONISM
-Caveat Lector- COST OF PROTECTIONISM Ironically, political pressure for trade protection has grown during the current economic expansion. Similarly, the infamous Smoot-Hawley Tariff was enacted at a time of unprecedented prosperity. It may be that economists have not done a very good job of explaining either the benefits of free trade or the costs of protection. A new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis estimates the cost of protectionism to the United States. o St. Louis Fed economist Howard Wall calculates that U.S. exports would have been 26.2 percent higher in 1996 if other countries practiced free trade. o Wall found that U.S. protectionism also hurt, costing consumers more than $100 billion. o In a recent speech in Dallas, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the ultimate cost of protection can be even higher if it blocks the flow of technology and new ideas that are the life's blood of economic progress. Similarly, the benefits of free trade may not be as apparent as their perceived costs in terms of job displacement. However, the benefits are large. o According to a new study by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Australia, a 50 percent reduction in world tariffs would increase the world economy by more than $400 billion per year (see figure http://www.ncpa.org/pd/gif/pd6799.gif ). o Complete elimination of tariffs would add $750 billion to the world economy annually. A final source of protectionist sentiment may be the understatement of U.S. exports, which exacerbates the recorded trade deficit. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, exports may be understated by as much as 10 percent, due to the undercounting of small exports and other factors. This may make people think that restricting imports is necessary to restore balance. More accurate counting of exports, therefore, may help reduce protectionist pressure.

[CTRL] [Fwd: Cassini; Mars; Planets Stars 900 ||||||||]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CAUS updates] - ParaNormal Network News (P3N) --Cassini; Mars; Planets Stars Dear CAUS Members: On this Monday, CAUS shares with you four stories from the ParaNormal News Network (P3N): NOSTRADAMUS CASSINI by EcoNews Service C 1999 Antero Alli Read now, some of Nostradamus' words from over 400 years ago: "In the year 1999, and seven months from the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring to life the great King of the Mongols. Before and after war reigns happily. (note: this was written before the Gregorian calendar shifted; please interpret seven months as "eight", i.e., August 1999) "'This will be preceded by the eclipse of the sun, more obscure and tenebrous than has ever been since the creation of the world, except that eclipse after the death and passion of Jesus Christ." From the Sky will come the Great King of Terror... Cassini is an unmanned NASA deep space probe launched back in October, 1997 with an ultimate destination of reaching Saturn in 2005 (NASA's priciest space project yet; $2-3 billion invested.) Currently, Cassini is racing back towards Earth at 43,000 miles per hour with the hopes of picking up speed in an orbital flyby around our planet. Preceded by the eclipse of the Sun by one week, Cassini arrives 400 miles above the Earth's atmosphere on August 18, 1999, to pick up speed on its way out to Saturn. The real danger of this Earth flyby is that Cassini is traveling with a fuel load of 72 pounds of Plutonium Dioxide, NASA's idea of a new propulsion source. What were they thinking?! The slightest malfunction, miscalculation, or random collision with space debris could result in the probe, and its deadly plutonium, reentering earth's atmosphere and incinerating its deadly cargo. NASA claims the chance of such an accident resulting in a plutonium release is one in a million. Many do not agree with that assessment. The isotope of plutonium used in Cassini, Pu-238, is especially dangerous because of its rapid rate of radioactive decay. It has a very short half-life (87.75 years) which means it emits radiation (mainly alpha particles) at a very high rate. Although it's true that alpha particles can be stopped by a piece of paper, when even a tiny microscopic particle of Plutonium 238 is inhaled, the localized radiation (the radiation to nearby cells) can cause lung cancer and other illnesses. Plutonium Dioxide in the environment will cause death, illness, and genetic mutations for centuries to all life forms.

More massive than Jupiter but too small to burn like our sun, the planet-like orbs represent a new type of extremely faint space object that scientists say may be as common as the stars in our galactic neighborhood. Their discovery demonstrates the power of the New Mexico-based Sloan Digital Sky Survey, said Johns Hopkins University astronomer David Golimowski. Golimowski and Princeton University astronomer Xiaohui Fan announced the discovery of the new objects, called "methane dwarfs," during this week's meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Each is "too small to be a star but probably too large to be called a planet," Fan said. But while Jupiter and other similar objects have been found orbiting stars, Fan's methane dwarf was all by itself in empty space. Soon after Fan's discovery in early spring, Golimowski found a second methane dwarf in data collected by the Sloan telescope. Follow-up observations with telescopes in New Mexico and Hawaii showed methane in their atmospheres, as in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The scientists have only a rough idea of the objects' size but estimate they're 10 to 70 times the mass of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. That's at most 7 percent the size of our sun.

[CTRL] From Mafia Mouthpiece to Mayor of Vegas
-Caveat Lector- Ex-Mob Lawyer To Become Vegas Mayor By ANGIE WAGNER .c The Associated Press LAS VEGAS (AP) -- When there's talk of a hit in Las Vegas these days, it's normally about slot machines, not the mob. This booming city has come a long way since Bugsy Siegel moved the mob west with the opening of the Flamingo Hilton on the fledgling Las Vegas Strip in 1946. But now a man with ties to Las Vegas' checkered past is poised to become its next mayor. Flamboyant criminal defense attorney Oscar Goodman, who freely admits he was once the mouthpiece to the mob, is known for defending characters like Meyer Lansky and Anthony ``Tony the Ant'' Spilotro, who once reputedly placed a rival's head in a vise and squeezed his eyeballs out. ``I was just their attorney and their mouthpiece and spokesman,'' Goodman said last month. ``When the media took a whack at my clients, I would speak on their behalf.'' ``A lot of people just have the image of the mob lawyer things,'' he said. ``But I, honest to God, believe I'm going to be the best mayor Las Vegas ever had.'' Goodman's opponent, Arnie Adamsen, said a win by his opponent would lend a new mob aura to Las Vegas. ``His past will become our future,'' Adamsen said. That hasn't seemed to matter much to Las Vegas voters. Goodman, 59, has emerged as a populist candidate, coming within 277 votes of winning the primary election outright in May. Recent polls show him coasting to victory in Tuesday's general election. It wasn't so long ago that federal authorities and gambling regulators ran the mob out of Las Vegas, transforming the town into a top vacation destination where parents feel comfortable bringing their children. But from 1971 to 1986, brash Chicago enforcer Spilotro ruled Las Vegas with Fat Herbie Blitzstein, his longtime pal, at his side. Spilotro's role was captured by actor Joe Pesci in the movie ``Casino,'' and Goodman appeared as himself in the film. The mob's influence in Las Vegas waned when Spilotro, facing trial on racketeering charges in 1986, was buried alive in an Indiana cornfield at the behest of fearful Chicago mob bosses. Blitzstein went to prison that year on federal tax and credit fraud charges, and was killed in an alleged mob hit two years ago. The rest of Spilotro's crew eventually found their way to prison. Now Las Vegas is dominated by casino corporations, and the FBI says any mobsters left in town are low-level Mafia soldiers. ``There's not a lot of old Italian mob activity going on,'' said Kevin Caudle, a FBI spokesman in Las Vegas. Goodman's election, he said, ``probably would not make it better or worse.'' Against this backdrop, Goodman has campaigned for mayor seeking to increase fees on developers to provide more money to refurbish older neighborhoods near downtown, and to help solve the city's traffic and air pollution woes. ``I'm colorful, and that's what got me in the limelight,'' Goodman told a reporter. ``If I were a podiatrist running for mayor, you wouldn't be here.'' Though the mayor has only one of five votes on the City Council and doesn't represent the famed Strip or its glittering resorts, Goodman has promised to turn the job from one of cutting ribbons and settling neighborhood disputes into a position yielding real clout. That could ``add some pizzazz to an otherwise boring job,'' said Lamond Mills, a former U.S. attorney who prosecuted ``Tony the Ant'' but supports Goodman. ``I think he's going to give the city a good shaking,'' Mills said. ``It's going to be refreshing.''

[CTRL] Ex-UN Chief Blasts US
-Caveat Lector- "President Clinton allowed the Balkan conflict to worsen while using US Security Council power to LIMIT the power of U.N. peacekeepers," Boutros-Ghali writes. U.N. Failures Said Fault of D.C. By NICOLE WINFIELD .c The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Former U.N. chief Boutros Boutros-Ghali lashes back at the United States in his memoirs, accusing Washington of using and abusing the United Nations and denying him a second term for the sake of ensuring President Clinton's re-election. In ``Unvanquished: A U.S.-U.N. Saga,'' Boutros-Ghali turns the tables on the Clinton administration, which had blamed the United Nations for the failed U.N. peacekeeping missions in Bosnia, Somalia and Rwanda. He says Washington was largely responsible for the failures. Boutros-Ghali asserts that the United Nations was powerless to save thousands of lives in those conflicts because its most powerful member was unwilling to authorize it to do so. While his argument may be oversimplified, American lawmakers and administration officials in the years following the end of the Cold War had indeed soured on intervening in foreign conflicts where there was little direct U.S. interest. Much of that sentiment can be traced to the slayings of 18 American soldiers in Somalia in 1993 and Washington's belief that European countries should take care of conflicts in their own backyards. Singled out for special wrath in the book is Madeleine Albright, then in her first diplomatic post as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Boutros-Ghali describes her as an inept and ill-informed messenger of Clinton's flip-flopping foreign policy whose personal goal was to remove him from office after his first term -- despite backing from other U.N. members. U.S.-U.N. relations sank to their lowest level during Boutros-Ghali's 1992-1996 tenure, and so it comes as no surprise that his recollections focus on the seeming daily battles with the Clinton administration, many over the $1 billion Washington owed the organization. The book is nevertheless enlightening on the level of rancor behind the closed doors of the Security Council chamber and in private meetings in Washington and New York. ``It would be some time before I fully realized that the United States sees little need for diplomacy,'' Boutros-Ghali writes of the U.S.-U.N. relationship. ``Power is enough.'' Most significantly, Boutros-Ghali blames the bitter presidential campaign between Clinton and former Sen. Bob Dole for making him the first U.N. chief to be denied a second term. Dole had made U.N.-bashing a popular sport during the campaign, so much so that Clinton began adopting the tactic as well, Boutros-Ghali writes. Albright, desperate to be named secretary of state in Clinton's second term, couldn't allow him to remain in power after being so discredited, the Egyptian diplomat says. She cast the lone veto that kicked him out of office. Boutros-Ghali seems particularly galled by the U.S. effort, because it showed how Washington had single-handedly rejected the wishes of most U.N. member states for the sake of domestic politics. State Department James P. Rubin -- who was Albright's spokesman at the United Nations -- said Albright enjoyed working with Boutros-Ghali but thought it was important that the U.N. chief be ``in synch'' with the United States. ``Unfortunately, Secretary-General Boutros-Ghali was not able to do that,'' he said. Boutros-Ghali describes several instances in which the United States and United Nations clearly disagreed, and lives were lost as a result. Weary after the Gulf War and convinced there was little public support for U.S. ground troops in Bosnia, the Clinton administration allowed the Balkan conflict to worsen while using its Security Council power to hem in the power of U.N. peacekeepers, Boutros-Ghali writes. In Somalia, Boutros-Ghali reminds readers that the 18 American soldiers killed during a 1993 raid in Mogadishu were part of an operation launched by the United States without the knowledge of the United Nations. That debacle led to stringent new U.S. conditions for future U.N. peacekeeping operations and a general unwillingness in Washington to intervene in Africa. That in turn was responsible for the lack of action to stop the genocide in Rwanda, Boutros-Ghali says. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] BiG LiE: Guns More Available
-Caveat Lector- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 07:56:25 -0400 Subject: PRJ Save a kids life Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline FROM MOUNTAIN MEDIA THE LIBERTARIAN Copyright By Vin Suprynowicz It's called propaganda: Simplify your lie down to an easily recalled slogan, repeat it often enough, and people will ventually get it down by heart and accept it as fact. Take: "The cause of all these school shootings is the too easy availability of guns." Prior to the National Firearms Act of 1933, there was no law to discourage a veteran of the Great War from keeping a fully-operational souvenir machine gun in the bedroom closet. There were few towns in America where the local lads didn't know the location of at least one such weapon. Yet none was ever used in a "school shooting." As late as the 1960s, it was not unusual in rural America for young boys to carry their .22 rifles to school with them, parking them in the principal's office until needed for the target matches after school. At age 49 I am no doddering old timer, but I can remember young lads walking the country roads of Ohio and Connecticut after school with their rifles (or bicycling home with the weapons across their handlebars), hoping to pick off some predatory bird with the full encouragement of area farmers. A neighbor might chide you about watching where your bullets went if you missed, but no one ever called the police to report "The Jones boy is heading down the road with his gun; come arrest him!" When I went away to Eaglebrook School in Massachusetts (yes, "Own a gun, go to jail" Massachusetts) in 1962 at the age of 12, I took my rifle. We fired for accuracy at the range on Saturdays. I daresay we could have snuck them out of the lockers down at the gym for some mayhem if it ever crossed our minds ... but it never did. The violent media? Today's TV offers nothing like "The Rifleman" or "Wanted Dead or Alive," programs of the early 1960s in which Chuck Connors and Steve McQueen ended every episode by mowing down some reprobate who had kicked the town dog or insulted Millie down at the general store, in McQueen's case using a sawed-off Winchester which it's now a federal felony even to recreate for a museum. This focus on "the availability of guns" -- ignoring the fact they were far more accessible only 40 years ago, when you could order a 20-mm Lahti anti-tank gun through the mail from an ad in the back of a comic book -- is intended not only to advance the prior agenda of those who want a disarmed and enslaved citizenry, but also to distract us from asking what it is about the mandatory behavior modification labs (public schools) which creates such rage and frustration in our incarcerated adolescent males. We don't see these shoot-em-ups in the private schools, or among home-schoolers. It also diverts attention from the perfectly relevant question of how many of these shooters had been on drugs known to affect the judgment, like Ritalin and Luvox, "prescribed and administered by their government wardens". In the face of all this misdirection, isn't it too bad the government has never conducted an actual scientific study on how it affects a child's likelihood of committing crimes if his parents buy him a gun? Um, actually ... they have. The study was conducted from 1993-1995 by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Child psychologists tracked 4,000 boys and girls aged 6 to 15 in Denver, Pittsburgh, and Rochester, N.Y. Their findings? Children who get guns from their parents don't commit gun crimes (0 percent) while children who get guns illegally are quite likely to do so (21 percent). Children who get guns from parents are less likely to commit any kind of street crime (14 percent) than children who have no gun in the house (24 percent) -- and are dramatically less likely to do so than children who acquire an illegal gun (74 percent.) Children who get guns from parents are less likely to use banned drugs (13 percent) than children who get illegal guns (41 percent.) Most strikingly, the study found: "Boys who own legal firearms have much lower rates of delinquency and drug use (than boys who own illegal guns) and are even slightly less delinquent than non-owners of guns." This wouldn't have surprised anyone before the rise of the modern welfare state. It used to be common knowledge that the best way to get kids to act "responsibly" was precisely to give them some "responsibility." Why would we assume a child taught by his parents to use a gun responsibly wouldn't also be more responsible in his other behaviors? "Want to dramatically reduce the chance that your child will commit a gun-related crime or -- heaven forbid -- go on a shooting spree?" asked the national Libertarian Party in a May 21 news release detailing
Re: [CTRL] Chemtrails in Tulsa Oklahoma!
-Caveat Lector- They are using chemicals and non pathogenic viruses now, and some non lethal flu bugs. The content will soon change to some of the following: KILLER VIRUSES My research indicates that there are a number of new disease viruses that are being developed, or are already developed, by several countries as lethal pathogens for biowarfare. These include Ebola virus, Marburg, Rift Valley, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Congo-Crimean virus, smallpox, Lassa fever, enterovirus-17, Venezuelan encephalitis, Sabia, Eastern equine encephalomyelitis, and others. In general, these viruses are very fragile and are quickly killed by sunlight. The ideal killer weapons virus should be sufficiently hardy after a laydown in the air to survive long enough to reach and kill a human host. The naturally occurring Ebola virus would be ideal for this except that it is fragile and is spread only via body fluids. Rift Valley fever kills by causing severe bloody diarrhea, disseminated intravascular clotting, and then the kidneys and liver fail. It works well in aerosols, and is also spread by mosquitoes. American inspectors of Russian Biological laboratories have recently collected conclusive data to show that Russia has developed a recombinant strain of Ebola that is both relatively hardy and transmissible from one human to another by airborne droplet infection. It can be sprayed into the air by tanker aircraft and even crop dusting airplanes, settling over a 50 mile wide area by using special nozzles that provide a mist of very fine [1-5 micron] droplet size which remains suspended in the air over long periods, and may disseminate widely. Genetic engineering research has been conducted with the nuclear polyhedrosis virus which is an insect virus that dwells in moth larvae. It secrets a protein crystal around itself that provides considerably increased viability, and protects the virus from the effects of sunlight, facilitating laboratory handling. This could markedly enhance weapons capability. It is likely that the Russians have been able to insert genes into this insect virus from smallpox virus, and also possibly from Ebola and other viruses to engineer a new recombinant organism [Chimera] that is highly infective in laboratory animals and the human species. The Russians evidently have shared this organism with other countries such as China, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and possibly even the United States. If so, this man-made virus could be a far more lethal strategic weapon even than nuclear bombs, and under overcast skies and with light winds could be successfully disseminated widely via long range missiles which would be capable of destroying an entire army. The implications for extreme disaster are obvious. KILLER BACTERIA The scientific community that is doing biologic research today are convinced that Russia has also developed a strain of Black Plague bacteria [Yersinia pestis] that is quite hardy and highly resistant to at least 16 antibiotics. It can effectively be laid down over a wide area and could wipe out most of the population of a city the size of New York with one application. There is no known treatment, and inhalation of just a few organisms would be about 99 % lethal. This renders bioengineered plague a far more effective strategic weapon than anthrax or nuclear weaponry. Plague is now probably the ideal bioweapon for use in an ICBM warhead. Anthrax is now considered to be of limited value as a weapon, because of its vulnerability to air and sunlight and the larger innoculum required to kill an infected host. Anthrax is not a useful organism for strategic purposes, but it may remain useful as a tactical weapon for limited area insertions. Byron T.

[CTRL] Energetic Sun May Add to Y2K Problems...
-Caveat Lector- From another list Energetic Sun May Add To Y2K Problems...06/01/99 CHICAGO (AP) - Computer date confusion about the Year 2000 is not the only problem Earth's technology is going to face when the new year rolls in. Astronomers say they're also worried about an angry sun. In January, just as computers around the world are coping with the Y2K bug, the sun will enter the most violent and disruptive phase of its 11-year cycle. Massive bursts of energy from the sun could mean celebrating the new millennium in the dark, with dead cellular phones. Ships and planes relying on satellites for navigation might have to haul out old-fashioned maps. Even spacewalking astronauts could be at risk, according to reports Monday at the national meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Researchers, using new techniques, are forecasting the sun's cycle to peak during the months of January to April. The sun is expected to be busy with solar flares and coronal mass ejections - solar explosions that can equal a million 100 megaton hydrogen bombs. Waves of solar energy can trigger power blackouts, block some radio communications and create phantom commands capable of sending satellites spinning out of their proper orbits. Scientists have plotted 23 solar cycles, using historic and modern measurements. But the current cycle may be the most disruptive ever because much of the vulnerable communications technology now in use is new and has not been exposed to maximum solar activity, Joselyn said. The explosion in technology is intersecting with an extremely disturbed space environment,'' Joselyn said. There is much higher risk now because we depend more on technology that is vulnerable.'' Joselyn said energy bursts from the sun can cause an electrical charge to build up on the surface of satellites, triggering phantom signals.

[CTRL] India - Kashmir - Pakistan
-Caveat Lector- From NewStatesman Picture: New Statesman Logo 7 June 1999 PicturePicture Just a small skirmish in Kashmir? John Elliott on why the India-Pakistan border is suddenly the world's most dangerous place PictureIf Nato can bomb Milosevic in the backyard of Europe, Kosovo, who can complain if India bombs infiltrators from Pakistan in its own remote mountain region of Kashmir? Not America, which traditionally backs Pakistan, nor even Robin Cook, whose pro-Pakistan stubbornness destabilised the Queen's visit to India in 1997. For once the west seems to accept that difficult, proud India can have right on its side. Western powers even remained quiet last weekend when the Indian prime minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, politely brushed aside a mediation offer from Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general, and refused to stop the bombing till the infiltrators withdrew: shades of Nato determination there. Despite the similarities to Nato and Kosovo, there is more to this dangerous situation than just another major power starting a small local skirmish to bring order to a remote region. India and Pakistan both tested nuclear weapons a year ago, making the use of a tactical nuclear warhead in a Kashmir-type conflict a worrying possibility. These bitterly divided countries have fought three wars since they became independent in 1947, and the use of nuclear weapons is far more likely to begin in a local engagement such as Kashmir than in a primary attack on each other's major cities. The situation is dangerous because of its scale, too. After nearly 20 years of sending infiltrators to make trouble in India (first during the Sikh unrest in Punjab in the 1980s, then in Kashmir from about 1989), Pakistan has gone a step too far this year. Taking advantage of Indian dilatoriness, Pakistan's forces infiltrated up to 1,000 men (its own troops and Afghan and other Islamic fundamentalists) across the Indian border into the 16-18,000ft peaks of the Ladakh range of mountains when snows began to melt earlier this year. Before the Indians had woken up to the seriousness of what was happening, the infiltrators had occupied the Indian summertime posts. There has been sporadic shelling across this border every summer for several years - usually started by whichever country's troops have the higher ground. Pakistan has the height advantage near the Indian truck-stop town of Kargil, on a key highway that links Srinagar, capital of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, to Leh, in Ladakh. Kargil was a focal point of the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war and is at the centre of the current conflict. This year the scale of hostilities is dramatically different. For the first time, the infiltrators broke through the line of control that marks the border between the two countries, and took up high positions that gave them a good chance of seizing a section of the highway - a strategic defeat that no Indian government could countenance. This is as much a shock to India as it is to world opinion. Only two months ago Vajpayee made his dramatic peacemaking bus trip to the Pakistani city of Lahore to meet Nawaz Sharif, his Pakistani counterpart. After the trip, Vajpayee had been planning to campaign in India's general election this autumn on the basis that his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could build peace with Pakistan. The west had also been unwisely lulled into hoping that the risk of conflict between these two nuclear powers had been significantly diminished. A tough Indian response is inevitable. First, the Vajpayee government has to make up for the failure of its defence and intelligence services to spot the infiltrators till they were well entrenched and had started shelling Indian ammunition stores and a road-building gang that was diverting the Srinagar-Leh highway away from the border. Second, they have to overcome the suspicion that Pakistan conned Vajpayee on the bus trip and must have already planned its Kargil military initiative. Third, the Hindu nationalist BJP must sell itself as the guardian of India's borders, especially against Islamic marauders. Pakistan's motives and strategy are more complex. Sharif, a skilful politician who is gaining a near-dictatorial hold over his economically crippled country, seems to have been playing on two levels. He has been successfully wooing world opinion for economic support by appearing to make peace with India, while allowing the Kargil offensive to go ahead in order to placate Islamic extremists at home. He has also destabilised Indian Kashmir, which had become so peaceful in the past year that tourists had been returning to Srinagar and its famous Dal lake houseboats. But most important, Sharif is internationalising Kashmir by underlining that it is the central issue in India-Pakistan relations. This is important because India wants to put Kashmir to one side and build friendship initially on other,

Cassini is carrying 72 pounds of radioactive plutonium, which could be released into the atmosphere if a solar flare or accident should occur, because of inadequate plutonium casings. Researchers say the plutonium could put between 40,000 and 1 billion people at risk of lung or bone cancer, and cause generations of human genetic mutations.

Solar Explosion erupts Tuesday, June 1, 1999 Cassini's highest risk is a solar storm that would vaporize Cassini's casings. Earth is now in a high risk period for solar storms. A tremendous explosion took place on the surface of the Sun last Tuesday and for a few very nervous hours astronomers did not know whether it was heading for Earth.

The blast threw a jet of superheated plasma carrying magnetic energy into space at speeds of 1,000 kilometres per second (600 miles per second). However, using the speed of the Internet, astronomers around the world rapidly compared images and decided that a worldwide alert was unnecessary. The explosive event was "a real planet-buster", according to Dr Richard Fisher of Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre. If the magnetic energy within the cloud of superhot gas had interacted with the Earth's magnetic field it would have sparked spectacular aurora at polar latitudes. But more worryingly it could also induce power blackouts, block radio communications and trigger phantom commands capable of sending satellites spinning out of their proper orbits.

Then, if you like it, you might do the distribution yourself. Jon has been reporting on health issues for ten years. For six years he had a regular weekly report on KPFK radio called "Health News." Then he ran for Congress against Henry Waxman and lost in 1994. He came back for another two years on KPFK with "Free Form Radio." Now he lives in North San Diego County with his new wife and writes. Let me know what you think of the report. I am, therefore, forwarding the following per his request: The Truth Seeker Foundation An Important Message The Truth Seeker is a remarkable organization that has existed for 125 years. As a freethought newspaper, we were there during the movement to give women the right to vote, and during the pivotal Scopes trial; we were there whenever arbitrary authority needed to be exposed and dismantled.

An Inquiry into the School Shootings in America by Jon Rappoport The massacre at Columbine High School took place on April 20, 1999. Astonishingly, for eight days after the tragedy, during thousands of hours of prime-time television coverage, virtually no one mentioned the word "drugs." Then the issue was opened. Eric Harris, one of the shooters at Columbine, was on at least one drug. The NY Times of April 29, 1999, and other papers reported that Harris was rejected from enlisting in the Marines for medical reasons. A friend of the family told the Times that Harris was being treated by a psychiatrist. And then several sources told the Washington Post that the drug prescribed as treatment was Luvox, manufactured by Solvay. In two more days, the "drug-issue" was gone. Luvox is of the same class as Prozac and Zoloft and Paxil. They are labeled SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). They attempt to alleviate depression by changing brain-levels of the natural substance serotonin. Luvox has a slightly different chemical configuration from Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft, and it was approved by the FDA for obsessive-compulsive disorder, although many doctors apparently prescribe it for depression. Had Eric Harris been on other drugs as well? Ritalin? Prozac? Tranquilizers? As yet we don't know. Prozac is the wildly popular Eli Lilly antidepressant which has been linked to suicidal and homicidal actions. It is now given to young children. Again, its chemical composition is very close to Luvox, the drug that Harris took. Dr. Peter Breggin, the eminent psychiatrist and author (Toxic Psychiatry, Talking Back to Prozac, Talking Back to Ritalin), told me, "With Luvox there is some evidence of a four-percent rate for mania in adolescents. Mania, for certain individuals, could be a component in grandiose

The Scoop - http://www.bobharris.com/ To new subscribers: thanks for joining up. Yes, the column really is free, and you're encouraged to forward it to friends. That's how our readership grows. bh THE SCOOP for June 6, 1999 ___ The Chernomyrdin Plan For Kosovo: In Peace, Too, Truth Is The First Casualty © 1999 Bob Harris http://www.bobharris.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * = italics For once, there's good news on Kosovo: the Serbian parliament has agreed to Kosovar autonomy, an end to military actions, and a military occupation force under UN command and flanked by a Russian military presence. The *Washington Post*, the *New York Times*, and most other newspapers have hailed the agreement as a victory. And now, the bad news: the Serbian parliament was ready to agree to markedly similar terms before the war began. In reality, NATO, which has always claimed its position is non-negotiable, has apparently made several major, if little-acknowledged, concessions, elaborated below. As reported in this space for weeks, the primary disagreement between NATO and Yugoslavia has always been over the composition and powers of the force to occupy Kosovo. Madeleine Albright has insisted repeatedly that only a NATO force would be satisfactory; the point was utterly non-negotiable. Belgrade has insisted, just as stubbornly, that the force must be under UN or neutral-country command. Make no mistake: this is the sticking point that started and nourished this war: not the welfare of Kosovo or its people, but who is to administer the peace. (This just in: shortly before press time -- 11 pm PDT Sunday June 6th -- peace talks have reportedly broken off again. The deal-breaker? "A source at the talks told Reuters... the Serbian side objected to the presence of NATO troops in Kosovo." Again, we see the primary sticking point. And so again, the bombing campaign escalates, as if it might punish Milosevic.) A DIGRESSION ON THE EFFICIENCY OF AERIAL BOMBING It's common to denounce opponents of the NATO airstrikes as modern-day Neville Chamberlains, eager to appease this Serbian Hitler. However, if World War II is to teach us any useful lessons, a far more apt analogy exists. At the outset of World War II, the British RAF originally tried to aim for strategic economic targets. However, this required flying in daylight, which made it easy for the Germans to shoot down the planes. And so the British began flying at night. But radar wasn't available, and any real targeting was all but impossible. So RAF commander Arthur "Bomber" Harris figured, basically, what the hell -- declaring that the main target was the "morale" of the Germans. The bombs would fall, well, wherever they fell. The idea was: bomb enough civilian targets, and eventually the people will rise up and overthrow Berlin. (Sound vaguely familiar?) Such an uprising obviously never happened. Nor did anything like it ever come close to happening. Instead, 300,000 civilians were killed. One-fifth of all German homes were destroyed as the Germans were, in Harris' immortal phrase, "de-housed" by the bombings. Did "morale bombing" work? Nope. After the war, U.S. government studies found that the campaign had no appreciable affect on the German military effort, and if anything, hardened German resolve. The ground campaign in Germany, on the other hand, was the success that won the war. NATO is fighting specifically to avoid a ground campaign. And they're surprised that the war has lasted about five times longer than their early estimates. If the air campaign has moved Milosevic at all, it's reportedly due not to the destruction of any civilian infrastructure or the plight of his people -- I mean, come on, this is Slobo we're talking about here; he's not real big on empathy, exactly -- but because of a relative handful of bombings which have destroyed much of the private holdings of Milosevic and his coterie of wealthy supporters. This makes sense: Serbian civilians living in Novi Sad have even less influence over Milosevic than the people of, say, Milwaukee have over Clinton. Destroying a brewery or I-94 wouldn't do much to sway Washington; blowing up Camp David or Robert Rubin's old office at Goldman Sachs would much sooner get Clinton's attention. The lesson for NATO, should it in future wage a war via similar tactics, seems to be the same one taught to a child the first time he picks up a water pistol: before you pull the trigger, perhaps it's worth a moment of your time to aim. RETURN TO THE NEGOTIATIONS The current proposal, negotiated by Russian envoy Viktor Chernomyrdin, is for a UN force (including NATO troops in a fashion not yet fully elaborated) accompanied by a Russian contingent (on terms yet to be finalized) guaranteeing Kosovar autonomy within Yugoslavia. Belgrade's armies go home, and so do the refugees. This is widely reported as a great breakthrough, vindication of the bombing

Thought you may be also interested... - A Political Quiz: Where Are the "Reds" Today? COMMUNIST MEDIA - THEN AND NOW By Bob Djurdjevic - The following are two real life stories. Everything you're about to read happened. Just as written. Please read them carefully. At the end, you will be asked to answer some multiple-choice questions intended to cleanse your mind of some communist-style info-pollution: (A) There was a scent of linden tree blossoms in the air when tens of thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of the nation's capital on a hot June day, stopping the traffic and shouting anti-government slogans. Appreciative passers showed their support for the protesters' cause with thumbs up signs. Tourists stopped to take pictures; cab drivers and passing cars honked their horns; street cars saluted the dissenters by ringing their bells. The police mostly kept their distance from the marchers, but were highly visible. And sometimes violent (see a photo in the TiM Web version of this column). One foreign tourist on the Boulevard of the Revolution asked this writer what the demonstration was about. I pointed to a huge banner, written in Serb Cyrillic, which was hanging from the top floor of the College of Engineering building. It read: "Down with Red Bourgeoisie!" Upon hearing the translation, the tourist became very frightened, and sped away toward his hotel. The stunning show of mass dissent was the first public demonstration against the government since the end of the last war. As this writer addressed his fellow-protesters later on, he said in his speech: "We will not be cowed by police billy-sticks, nor guns! Our cause is just, and we shall persevere until the government yields to our demands." The date was June 5. The year was 1968. The nation's capital was Belgrade. The country was Yugoslavia. The system of government was a communist dictatorship. The "last war" referenced above was World War II. The demonstrators were outraged Belgrade University students. The speaker and one of the leaders of this spontaneous student anti-government uprising was your TiM editor. History was being made on that Wednesday, June 5, yet the Belgrade media remained mum about this event. Neither the local television, nor the radio, carried any reports about it (that we saw or heard). The following day, the capital city's establishment newspapers did not have even a single story about the event which had already buzzed the whole country - through the grapevine. Instead, as a diversion, the Belgrade media carried reports about anti-American demonstrations in Paris in which the students protested the Vietnam war. Other major national establishment media also spiked this news story. So the students had no choice but to start publishing their own "samizdat" - daily newsletters, run off overnight on old klunker-"Gestettners" at the College of Architecture. Distribution of which in the daytime turned out to be one of the most dangerous jobs back then. The largest number of arrests occurred as student-messengers of freedom and truth, which the establishment media were trying to withhold, spread the newsletters hand-to-hand in the Belgrade streets. By contrast, the American media, including the Washington Post, New York Times and others ran major stories about the Belgrade students' protest against Marshall Tito's communist government. --- (B) There was a scent of linden tree blossoms in the air when tens of thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of the nation's capital on a hot June day, stopping the traffic and shouting anti-government slogans.

[CTRL] (Fwd) Claremont Institute Precepts: Congressman Looks to Found
-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded Message Follows --- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Claremont Institute Precepts: Congressman Looks to Founding for Answers Date sent: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 12:41:16 -0700 The Claremont Institute--PRECEPTS | | June 7, 1999 Visit http://www.claremont.org | | No. 171 House Majority Leader Dick Armey--a rare congressional leader who is part of the solution--sent a letter to his colleagues just recently. In it, he reflected on the Columbine High School murders, and on the perception of many that America faces a moral crisis. In doing so, he found the opportunity to quote both me, from a previous edition of Precepts, and Institute Senior Fellow Tom Wests book, _Vindicating the Founders_. Rep. Armey noted what he called a paradox in comparing the America of the founding era with America today: America at the founding was more libertarian in economic terms, but less libertarian in terms of morality. This is indeed paradoxical, but only from a certain contemporary point of view. It is paradoxical only if one confuses liberty with an individual's right to do as he pleases. In the classical liberal view of the Founders, much of modern libertarianism is flawed by its failure to distinguish liberty from license. For the Founders, true liberty necessarily includes sufficient self-control of one's passions to make correct moral choices. A people lacking this self-control--for instance, a people prone to sexual promiscuity, laziness and class envy--would be incapable of economic and personal independence and unfit for democratic citizenship. As James Madison wrote in Federalist 55, "nothing less than the chains of despotism [could] restrain [such a people] from destroying and devouring one another." Given this understanding, it was perfectly logical that government dedicated to upholding its citizens' liberty would promote the morality of self-control by such means as prohibiting abortion and pornography, making divorce difficult and unpleasant, and restricting public welfare to the truly needy. It is not the classical liberalism of the Founders, but the libertarian idea that a society of morally unrestrained individuals can maintain their freedom, that is contradictory. Today's practical alternative to the Founders' classical liberalism is not libertarianism, but the modern liberalism that animates the Clinton administration. This modern liberalism rejects the idea of "legislating morality" in the sense of promoting self-control. But to be consistent, it also rejects the Founders' idea that the purpose of government is to uphold its citizens' liberty. To the contrary, modern liberalism underlies the vast regulatory bureaucracy that began in the late 1960s, and that continues to extend its reach into American workplaces, schools and homes. Consider the Clinton administration's response to the Columbine killings: more gun control on the one hand, and a bureaucratic process to regulate the marketing of violent video games and other forms of entertainment to children on the other. Regarding the first, as I have written previously, Americans have always had a lot of guns around, but until recently our children were not shooting each other. The problem is not guns, but dysfunctional families and the growth of moral relativism as America's public philosophy. As for the second, the time is long overdue for curbs on pornography and other forms of "entertainment" that degrade our humanity, and that undermine our children's ability to distinguish their classmates from insects. But these curbs should be debated and enacted by our elected representatives in Congress, not by unaccountable bureaucrats as the president proposes. In the end, both the classical liberalism of the Founders and the modern liberalism of the Clinton administration-- one by reviving and acting on the distinction between liberty and license, the other by expanding bureaucracy and restricting the Second Amendment and other constitutional guarantees--hold out the promise of ending the current rash of school shootings. But the first way is consonant with liberty, and the second with despotism. That is our choice.

Updates and Out-Takes *** NATO EUROPEAN REGIONAL SECURITY *** (Ed. Note: The initiation of serious negotiations between NATO and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is good news, as are attempts to have the UN Security Council sign off on the proposed settlement and stationing of peacekeeping forces in Kosovo. Another hopeful sign is the decision of the European Union (EU) to take the necessary steps to form a common foreign and security policy. The EU will incorporate the functions of the dormant Western European Union (WEU), holding out the possibility that in the near future the European nations may be able to address regional security issues without the involvement and leadership of the United States and without involving NATO. As the EU's military capacity takes shape, there is the danger that, like NATO, the EU may decide to wield its collective military power outside the bounds of the United Nations. Parallel to the initiatives to strengthen the EU's capacity to act independently of Washington, it is imperative that the world's nations also act to strengthen the UN so as to make it a more credible and effective guarantor of international peace. The following analysis of security aspects of U.S.-West European relations is excerpted from a forthcoming FPIF essay, "The Transatlantic Partnership in the Shadow of Globalization," by Jonathan P. G. Bach [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The author is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Saltzman Center for the Center of Constitutional Democracy.) FISSURES IN THE BEDROCK By Jonathan P.G. Bach Not all is quiet on the military front either. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is regarded as the bedrock of U.S.-European relations. A primary reason for its perseverance after the demise of its raison d'être, the Warsaw Pact, is that NATO's rationale extended beyond deterring the Soviet Union. NATO institutionalized U.S. military relations with Europe in a way that interwar internationalists could only dream of. The original impulse rested most immediately, of course, on the Soviet Union as a threat. But there was also a perception that a lack of American military commitment to Europe per se was threatening, allowing instability and its consequences, whether fascist or communist. Decades later, NATO capitalized on this perception by recasting itself as a political/military organization whose existence was justified by this original concern. NATO was billed as tantamount to U.S. commitment, and hence stability, in Europe. The decision to retool NATO for a post-cold war role essentially meant abandoning alternative European security constellations such as: Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a wide-ranging, informal consultative body that includes both the U.S. and Russia; an approach drawing on nonoffensive defense; or a collective security model. As NATO increasingly became the only game in town, those critical of the alliance hoped it was truly capable of metamorphosing from a collective defense system into some form of collective security for Europe. The principal concern among critical voices was that Washington would seek to develop NATO as a U.S.-led police force to enhance its interests around the world. This prompted the out-of-area debate about whether NATO forces could be used outside its members' territory for reasons other than self-defense, a question answered by NATO's de facto military action first in Bosnia and then in Kosovo. Although European member states support "upgrading" NATO, they are not as sanguine about continued U.S. dominance within the organization. France, historically suspicious of Washington's perception of European defense, postponed reintegrating its forces with the NATO military command, insisting that a French

The White House conference is trying to sell the American public on psychiatric drugs and involuntary treatment..." SALLY ZINMAN, http://www.cnmhc.org Director of the California Network of Mental Health Clients, Zinman took part in Monday's White House Conference on Mental Health. She is among several invitees calling upon Tipper Gore and the administration to oppose the increased use of involuntary psychiatric treatment. Zinman said: "I hope to raise consciousness about the drive across the country to expand forced treatment. It's a drive that is fueled by demonizing people with psychiatric disabilities as causing violence in the country. I want to raise awareness of the mental patients' movement and its achievements in the last 25 years including the self-help peer support programs that exist across the country." DAVID OAKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.mindfreedom.org Co-coordinator of the Support Coalition International, Oaks said: "We have several concerns about the approach that focuses on forced psychiatric drugging instead of on support services and alternatives people can voluntarily use. There are studies of MRI and CT scans that show the shape and size of the brain change as the result of the long-term use of the neuroleptic drugs. This makes it far more difficult for patients to come off these drugs and can result in patients being left with even worse emotional and mental problems. There are also two recent studies which show African Americans are especially hard hit by the drugs typically used in psychiatric procedures. They tend to be given the more powerful neuroleptic drugs more quickly, more frequently, and at higher dosages than whites. We are seeing an attitude that all behavioral problems have a biochemical cause and therefore a biochemical solution. This view is being pushed by the pharmaceutical industry. Already 39 states have laws on the books under which people can be ordered to take drugs on an out-patient basis, even in their own homes."

[CTRL] Fw: The Truth About Freemasonry Pt.3
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: Anonymous [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: alt.freemasonry Date: Saturday, June 05, 1999 3:46 AM Subject: The Truth About Freemasonry Pt.3 #8 One of the most difficult thing for Masons to understand is what the difference between TRASCO 33, the higher rites, and Blue Lodge Masons. Well let me explain . Blue Lodge Masons are known as the Public Masons. They are the P.R. branch of the Order of Freemasonry. Their degrees are pure fluff entertainment of no real value. They are not aware of TRASCO 33 or the overall structure of the Order of Freemasonry. They are brainwashed to be nice and charitable, to give "Masons" a good image before mankind. If the Order of Freemasonry was the Roman Catholic Church, Blue Lodge Masons would be the Altar Boys. The Scottish Rite is an artifical organization of worship for Lucifer. The degrees are meaningless, except fot the 33*. We use this organization as a feeder for rich Masons and evil Masons. While in the Scottish Rite, we evaluate potential candidates for TRASCO 33. If we see a good potential candidate, then the Rite gives them the 33*, which is their first overall view of the Order of Freemasonry. They are the priests, using the Roman Catholic comparison. The York Rite is an artifical organization, where the good Christian boys of Freemasonry can be happy. It keeps them from clogging up the Scottish Rite feeder group. Statistically, most of the good men of Freemasonry either stay as Blue Lodge Masons or go in the York Rite. All the rich, occultic, and evil Masons go into the Scottish Rite. Of course a lot of good Christian boys and non-evil Masons, enter it too but will usually abandon it for the York Rite. We also use the York Rite to launder a lot of money for TRASCO 33. Now to TRASCO 33. As Deputy Members pass away (that is the only way to leave TRASCO 33, no man can resign or demit from TRASCO 33), new Deputies are chosen by the Active Members. When they are chosen, they are given the Secret Master Mason Degree. Which is the TRUE Master Mason Degree, which can be found no where else. They are the bishops and archbishops, using the Roman Catholic comparison. As Active Members pass away, the Active Members choose a new Active Member from the Deputies. Then they are given the The Golden Arch Degree (34*). It is so secret that no one except people who have received it, know what is in it. The only things I know about it are the Grand Secret of Adam being revealed and the exchange of blood. During the degree, each of the 32 other members contribute 1/32 of a pint of blood, which is combined into one pint and transfused into the Active Member Candidate. The reason is so that all Active Members are biologically linked and therefore TRUE brothers. This is the reason, that at least two Active Members must be medical doctors. They are the Cardinals, using the Catholic comparison. And the Grand Master is the Pope. Honorary members are people who help the organization achieve their goals, yet don't join or affilate with it. They recieve no degrees, although they may be considered for Deputy Membership, later on. They are monks and nuns using the Catholic comparison. Their is an alternate route to Deputy Membership (and later Active membership) which doesn't require lower degree membership. These are people who cannot be publicly in the Masons for various reasons. Our current Grand Master Bill Gates, went into TRASCO 33 thru this route. Deputy Member Pope John Paul II, 33* is another example of someone who went thru this alternate route. They are chosen by the Active Members and receive the Degree of Cain and are considered 32* Masons. After a month as a Cain Mason, they then receive the 33* and are made Deputy Members.

[CTRL] The Clinton-Cohen indictment
-Caveat Lector- MONDAY JUNE 07 1999 --- - The Clinton-Cohen indictment By Jerome Zeifman © 1999 Jerome Zeifman --- THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE UNITED STATES THE PROSECUTOR OF THE TRIBUNAL AGAINST WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON AND WILLIAM COHEN INDICTMENT* Charging CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS OR CUSTOMS OF WAR as set forth herein. GENERAL ALLEGATIONS William Jefferson CLINTON is President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of its armed forces. William COHEN is Secretary of Defense of the United States, was formerly a United States Senator from Maine, and in 1974 was a member of the Committee on the Judiciary of the United States House of Representative during the 1974 impeachment proceedings against Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States. In July 1974 William COHEN advocated and voted for three articles of impeachment against Richard M. Nixon. Two of said articles charged Richard M. Nixon with crimes which he had not personally directed or known about prior to their commission by others. On July 30, 1974, William COHEN voted "No" against a proposed fourth article of impeachment charging Richard M. Nixon with unlawful bombing of the then-neutral country of Cambodia in usurpation of the United States Constitution's delegation of the sole power to declare war to the Congress of the United States. In explanation of his vote William COHEN stated: While this usurpation [of Congress's war powers] may have taken place, I happen to believe the usurpation has come about not through the boldness of President Nixon but rather on the default and sloth of the Congress. In 1973 William COHEN voted for the War Powers Resolution that was enacted by the United States Congress to prohibit further usurpation of its war powers by requiring an official act of said Congress to extend a military attack on a foreign country for more than 60 days. On March 24, 1999 William Jefferson Clinton ordered the military forces of the United States to participate in an aggressive military attack on former Yugoslavia and with the aid and abetment of William COHEN has continued the attacks to the present, in violation of the Constitution and War Powers Resolution of the United States. At all times relevant to this indictment, the armed forces of the United States have participated in aggressive military attacks on former Yugoslavia. As stated in paragraph 88 of the May 23, 1999 indictment of Slobodan Milosevic et al by the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia: A superior is responsible for the acts of his subordinate(s) if he knew or had reason to know that his subordinate(s) was/were about to commit such acts or had done so and the superior failed to take the necessary and reasonable measures to prevent such acts or to punish the perpetrators thereof. The aforesaid precedents and legal principle and the allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 8 are re-alleged and incorporated into each of the charges set forth below. CHARGES Beginning on or about March 24, 1999 and continuing until the date of this indictment, the armed forces of the United States, acting at the direction, with the encouragement, or with the support of William Jefferson CLINTON and William COHEN have executed an aggressive military campaign against former Yugoslavia based on political, racial, or religious grounds. William Jefferson CLINTON and William COHEN have planned, instigated, ordered, committed or otherwise aided and abetted the planning, preparation, or execution of action which they knew, or had reason to know, would result in the following acts. COUNT 1 The killing, injuring, terrorizing, and destruction of the homes of thousands of Serbian and other civilians in former Yugoslavia, including but not limited to, such acts as: 25,000 sorties and 14,000 missiles and bombs, 4,000 of which were not precision guided, as of May 1999; use of anti-personnel cluster bombs that have resulted to damage to hospitals, offices and residences of ambassadors, and the senseless and brutal killing of innocent civilians and conscripted troops; and the use of specific types of cluster bombs that are designed to kill and maim humans and are condemned almost universally by other nations. COUNT 2 The provocation of the government of former Yugoslavia to continue to increase the murder, terrorization, and deportation of Albania civilians in Kosovo, and such acts as are charged in the May 24, 1999 indictment of Slobodan Milosevic et al. COUNT 3 The usurpation of the sole power of the United States Congress to declare war and the violation of the War Powers Resolution of the United States, resulting in a counterproductive attack on Yugoslavia and

Re: [CTRL] psycho exams needed for all federal candidates
-Caveat Lector- I don't think psychiatric exams would weed out all deviants or sociopaths. One of the remarkable aspects of sociopaths is that most, if not all, are perfectly capable of appearing normal and being somewhat chameleon-like in their ability to evade the pitfalls of psychiatric screening. The fact is that psychiatry is not a hard science and, hence, fraught with pitfalls and impracticalities when applied in sweepingly general ways as seen in its use in prisons, the military, etc. Jamieson On Mon, 7 Jun 1999, Peter L.

The content will soon change to some of the following: KILLER VIRUSES My research indicates that there are a number of new disease viruses that are being developed, or are already developed, by several countries as lethal pathogens for biowarfare. These include Ebola virus, Marburg, Rift Valley, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Congo-Crimean virus, smallpox, Lassa fever, enterovirus-17, Venezuelan encephalitis, Sabia, Eastern equine encephalomyelitis, and others. In general, these viruses are very fragile and are quickly killed by sunlight. The ideal killer weapons virus should be sufficiently hardy after a laydown in the air to survive long enough to reach and kill a human host. The naturally occurring Ebola virus would be ideal for this except that it is fragile and is spread only via body fluids. Rift Valley fever kills by causing severe bloody diarrhea, disseminated intravascular clotting, and then the kidneys and liver fail. It works well in aerosols, and is also spread by mosquitoes. American inspectors of Russian Biological laboratories have recently collected conclusive data to show that Russia has developed a recombinant strain of Ebola that is both relatively hardy and transmissible from one human to another by airborne droplet infection. It can be sprayed into the air by tanker aircraft and even crop dusting airplanes, settling over a 50 mile wide area by using special nozzles that provide a mist of very fine [1-5 micron] droplet size which remains suspended in the air over long periods, and may disseminate widely. Genetic engineering research has been conducted with the nuclear polyhedrosis virus which is an insect virus that dwells in moth larvae. It secrets a protein crystal around itself that provides considerably increased viability, and protects the virus from the effects of sunlight, facilitating laboratory handling. This could markedly enhance weapons capability. It is likely that the Russians have been able to insert genes into this insect virus from smallpox virus, and also possibly from Ebola and other viruses to engineer a new recombinant organism [Chimera] that is highly infective in laboratory animals and the human species. The Russians evidently have shared this organism with other countries such as China, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and possibly even the United States. If so, this man-made virus could be a far more lethal strategic weapon even than nuclear bombs, and under overcast skies and with light winds could be successfully disseminated widely via long range missiles which would be capable of destroying an entire army. The implications for extreme disaster are obvious. KILLER BACTERIA The scientific community that is doing biologic research today are convinced that Russia has also developed a strain of Black Plague bacteria [Yersinia pestis] that is quite hardy and highly resistant to at least 16 antibiotics. It can effectively be laid down over a wide area and could wipe out most of the population of a city the size of New York with one application. There is no known treatment, and inhalation of just a few organisms would be about 99 % lethal. This renders bioengineered plague a far more effective strategic weapon than anthrax or nuclear weaponry. Plague is now probably the ideal bioweapon for use in an ICBM warhead. Anthrax is now considered to be of limited value as a weapon, because of its vulnerability to air and sunlight and the larger innoculum required to kill an infected host. Anthrax is not a useful organism for strategic purposes, but it may remain useful as a tactical weapon for limited area insertions. Byron T.

MONDAY JUNE 07 1999 --- - BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS Shootings a boon to home education More parents opt out of system after Colorado By Paul Chesser © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Fear resulting from recent violence in public schools is sparking interest in home schooling across the United States. While national media figures and government officials pine for more gun control and limiting Internet access, many parents are quietly taking actions on their own. It is too soon after recent school shooting incidents in Littleton, Colo., and Conyers, Ga., to measure statistically whether parents are adopting alternative methods to educate their children, but evidence indicates that many parents are at least considering teaching their children at home next year. Phone call inquiries to various state home school associations throughout the country have jumped since the Columbine High School shootings April 20, with some parents panic-stricken in their search to find other educational options for their children. "One father called us and said he couldn't do his job because he was worried about his kids," said Mary Jo Patterson, director of the Georgia Home Education Association. http://www.ghea.org/ "Parents, after they've put them in school, think their kids are in some kind of jeopardy." She added that there are many high school students who are calling who don't want to go back to school. There is some consensus among home schooling advocates that the Columbine incident has caused a greater rise in interest than any other recent school shooting occurrence. "This thing has got parents in a panic," said Joe Adams, a co-director of the Christian Home Educators of Kentucky. http://www.chek.org/ "We had a surge (of calls) after Paducah," said Adams, referring to the December 1997 school shooting in West Paducah, Ky. "But not as big as Littleton -- Littleton caused a burst." Adams said he is receiving four or five e-mails daily from parents who want to remove their children from public school. The Home School Legal Defense Association http://www.hslda.org/ reports they are also fielding a lot more questions from concerned parents since the Littleton incident. Many are saying it's "the straw that broke the camel's back," according to President Michael Farris. Some state home school organizations are also seeing large increases in attendance at conventions this year, which are traditionally held in the spring. Patterson said that about 2,000 people normally attend the Georgia home school convention, but this year over 3,000 came. The event was held on April 23 and 24, only days after the shootings in Littleton. Likewise, Adams is anticipating a 25 percent increase in attendance over last year for Kentucky's convention in July. The sense of urgency has also hit ground zero in Denver, where the Christian Home Educators of Colorado http://www.chec.org/ have been swarmed with inquiries. Calls have increased fivefold, from about 60 a month to over 300. CHEC holds monthly workshops that explain home schooling laws, curriculums and philosophies to curious parents. Participation grew from 15 in February to 45 in May, and registration exploded to 500 for June's session. "People are looking for solutions -- not just bulletproof vests," said Kevin Swanson, Executive Director of CHEC. Parents seeking advice about home schooling from advocacy organizations are getting a consistent message: "Go for it." However, the message also contains a caveat: "Be prepared." Farris wrote in a May 4 commentary for the Washington Times that "people should not choose to home school out of a momentary panic resulting from watching the news about Colorado. You won't have the self-discipline to succeed if that is your sole motivation." In an interview with WorldNetDaily Farris added that HSLDA is "trying to give parents a realistic assessment of what it takes to home school. You won't have the 'stick-to-itness' that it requires if the sole motivation is fear." Some organizations are inviting parents to test the home schooling waters in measured ways. Swanson said that he is encouraging those who

"The Mayor's Emergency Operations Center" is designed to hold up to 250 people. It will become the Brain Room of the city during a major crisis. The bunker has been built with walls designed to withstand hurricane winds and rocket attacks. The compound also uses a special air circulation system. The bunker has beds, bathrooms with showers and a kitchen. There are rows of computer consoles tied into government communications and emergency systems, reports NEWSDAY's Graham Rayman. On the walls are banks of television monitors and projection screens. Earlier this year, the DRUDGE REPORT detailed an elaborate bunker that sits under downtown Los Angeles. X X X X X DRUGS FOR ALL: CLINTON TO PROPOSE MEDICARE CHANGE In Tuesday's NEW YORK TIMES, President Clinton will propose revamping the nation's Medicare program to offer prescription drug coverage to all beneficiaries. Confidential White House documents, leaked and sneaked to the TIMES, assert that drug coverage can save money for Medicare. White House officials tell the TIMES that the government would hire private companies to help buy drugs and manage the new drug benefit. Clinton will not try to impose federal controls on drug prices. "We would never do price controls," a senior White House official tells Bob Pear at the TIMES. The drug benefit is the centerpiece of Clinton's plan to "modernize" Medicare, a trust that expected to run out of money in 2015. The White House's John Podesta, last seen dealing with the Lewinsky cancer, has taken charge of efforts to draft the new Medicare proposal. The TIMES announcement will take many in Washington by surprise. Even senior Democratic members of Congress late Monday were unaware of the new Medicare drug plan. A White House document released in the TIMES argues the president's drug plan: "Beneficiaries across the income spectrum lack drug coverage. About 16 million beneficiaries are projected to have no drug coverage in 2000. Lack of drug coverage is not just a problem for low-income beneficiaries; 40 percent of beneficiaries without drug coverage have income above 200 percent of poverty." X X X X X MORE SALES OF SUPERCOMPUTERS The White House is preparing to loosen government controls on the sale of powerful super computers to more than 100 countries only two weeks after a congressional committee charged it with carelessly permitting sales to China, the LOS ANGELES TIMES is planning to report in Tuesday editions. A portion of Page One has been carved out by editors and reporter Peter Gosselin was jaing late into the evening, putting the finishing touches on his exclusive report. The Commerce Department has proposed easing restrictions on sales of supercomputers to "most countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe, administration sources said Monday." Gosselin reports that "virtually all restrictions are likely to be lifted on sales to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, which recently became NATO members." The White House's John Podesta, last seen drafting a new Medicare proposal that extends drug coverage to all beneficiaries, has taken charge of announcing the new supercomputer policy. According to Gosselin, first official word that the White House is prepared to ease export limits on the 100 countries could come during a meeting scheduled for Friday between Podesta and a group that includes "IBM Chairman and Chief Executive Louis Gerstner, Intel Corp. Chairman Andy Grove, Sun Microsystems Inc. CEO Scott D. McNealy and Hewlett-Packard Co. Chairman and President Lewis E.Platt." Developing...

It is too soon after recent school shooting incidents in Littleton, Colo., and Conyers, Ga., to measure statistically whether parents are adopting alternative methods to educate their children, but evidence indicates that many parents are at least considering teaching their children at home next year. Phone call inquiries to various state home school associations throughout the country have jumped since the Columbine High School shootings April 20, with some parents panic-stricken in their search to find other educational options for their children. "One father called us and said he couldn't do his job because he was worried about his kids," said Mary Jo Patterson, director of the Georgia Home Education Association. http://www.ghea.org/ "Parents, after they've put them in school, think their kids are in some kind of jeopardy." She added that there are many high school students who are calling who don't want to go back to school. There is some consensus among home schooling advocates that the Columbine incident has caused a greater rise in interest than any other recent school shooting occurrence. "This thing has got parents in a panic," said Joe Adams, a co-director of the Christian Home Educators of Kentucky. http://www.chek.org/ "We had a surge (of calls) after Paducah," said Adams, referring to the December 1997 school shooting in West Paducah, Ky. "But not as big as Littleton -- Littleton caused a burst." Adams said he is receiving four or five e-mails daily from parents who want to remove their children from public school. The Home School Legal Defense Association http://www.hslda.org/ reports they are also fielding a lot more questions from concerned parents since the Littleton incident. Many are saying it's "the straw that broke the camel's back," according to President Michael Farris. Some state home school organizations are also seeing large increases in attendance at conventions this year, which are traditionally held in the spring. Patterson said that about 2,000 people normally attend the Georgia home school convention, but this year over 3,000 came. The event was held on April 23 and 24, only days after the shootings in Littleton. Likewise, Adams is anticipating a 25 percent increase in attendance over last year for Kentucky's convention in July. The sense of urgency has also hit ground zero in Denver, where the Christian Home Educators of Colorado http://www.chec.org/ have been swarmed with inquiries. Calls have increased fivefold, from about 60 a month to over 300. CHEC holds monthly workshops that explain home schooling laws, curriculums and philosophies to curious parents. Participation grew from 15 in February to 45 in May, and registration exploded to 500 for June's session. "People are looking for solutions -- not just bulletproof vests," said Kevin Swanson, Executive Director of CHEC. Parents seeking advice about home schooling from advocacy organizations are getting a consistent

SCHOOL BOMB BID TO WRECK PEACE 2. Irish school discrimination exposed 3. Sinn Fein call for local democracy 4. Biotech firm corners God 5. Analysis: Local Power - A National Right -- -- SCHOOL BOMB BID TO WRECK PEACE British Prime Minister Tony Blair was urged to call peace talks as soon as possible after loyalists today planted a bomb at a Catholic primary school in Ballymena, County Antrim. Over 120 children up to the age of twelve had to be evacuated while the deadly pipe bomb was defused. Saint Mary's school in Ballymena has previously been subject to arson attacks in incidents linked to last year's marching season and efforts to force sectarian parades through the nearby nationalist village of Dunloy. The attack on St Mary's took place on the same day as the funeral in Portadown of grandmother Elizabeth O'Neill, who was killed by a similar device which was hurled into her livingroom on Saturday. One of Mrs O'Neill's two sons, Martin, said her death was pointless and not worth the seven-minute walk local Orangemen are attempting to force down the nationalist Garvaghy Road in Portadown. Speaking before the low-key funeral in Portadown today, he said: "A 59-year-old woman blown up ... it didn't take a hard man to do that. "If a seven-minute walk down the road done this to my mother, is it worth that, is it worth it? How many more innocent people are going to suffer like this ?" At least six bombings were carried out against Catholic homes over the weekend, including two in west Belfast overnight. There was deep concern that loyalists would mount fresh attacks so shortly after the Portadown murder. Nationalists living in isolated communities now fear a wave of sectarian "cleansing" to force them out as doubts grow over the future of the peace process. Ten men, women and children have already died as a result of loyalist bomb and gun attacks on nationalists and the intimidation of the Garvaghy Road community. Tony Blair was urged to end the political vacuum generated by the failure thus far to implement last year's Good Friday Agreement. Sinn Fein President, Gerry Adams called for talks to be reconvened immediately after the election to prepare for the June 30 deadline, the date by which devolution of powers to a new coalition executive is to take place. He said: "The rejectionists and the right wing of unionism are being allowed to dictate the political agenda, to subvert the peace press and undermine public morale. This situation needs to be reversed. All of the parties need to be brought together. "Too much time has already been wasted," he added. Unionist opposition to Sinn Fein's participation in the agreed new Executive has not relented despite Britain's governor in Ireland Mo Mowlam declaration today that her government will stand by its promise to establish the Executive by June 30. She warned: "We are moving into dangerous times and it would be well to reach agreement. People know what the month of July means, the potential danger and instability." In Portadown, there is increasing concern for the safety of several other families living in certain areas. A rally, which was to have been held this Sunday in support of the besieged community, has been postponed in an attempt to dampen tension. Nationalist spokesman Breandan Mac Cionnaith described a claim by the Orangemen that the Garvaghy residents supported ethnic cleansing as "outrageous". Referring to Mrs O'Neill's murder, he added: "When one takes into account the 24 hours before, we have a prime example of ethnic cleansing in Portadown and it was not nationalists who were responsible for it. "Nineteen families have moved out of Portadown over the last few months and I have not heard the Orange Order issuing any condemnation." The Orange Order are still planning to go ahead with a "mini-12th parade" in Portadown in advance of the feared standoff over the annual Drumcree parade on the Saturday before 'The Twelfth'. Proximity talks to defuse the major crisis looming around the July 4 march met with little success over the weekend as Orangemen demanded to be allowed to "complete" last year's Drumcree march before again parading down the Garvaghy Road on July 4. Garvaghy residents meanwhile pointed out
[CTRL] Fw: Financial privacy in peril, by R.Rahn from WSJ
-Caveat Lector- [Forwarded with permission of the author.] The Wall Street Journal Tuesday, June 1, 1999 Financial Privacy in Peril By Richard W. Rahn What cause unites Christian conservatives, free-trade Democrats, small- business people, the American Civil Liberties Union and tax reformers? Financial freedom and privacy. The cause is being advanced in a series of legislative battles against big- government activists from both parties over the issues of encryption restrictions, asset forfeiture and, of most immediate concern, requirements that banks serve as agents of the state by monitoring the activities of their customers. The cornerstone of this last activity is the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970. The BSA is, in fact, an antisecrecy act, because it requires bankers to spy on their customers by monitoring accounts for "suspicious activities." Bankers who fail to comply with this requirement are subject to prosecution and fines. Since Congress enacted the BSA, the scope of the law and of the bureaucracy to enforce it has steadily grown, a textbook illustration of how failed government policies beget more failed policies and ever more government. The latest attempt to enlarge the reach of the BSA occurred in December, when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Treasury proposed "Know Your Customer" regulations that would have required banks to create customer profiles and report all activities that fell outside the "normal" transactions according to that profile. Originally, the BSA required only that banks monitor transactions above $10,000 -- which was lowered to $5,000 when the higher number proved to be ineffective in preventing money laundering and other financial crimes -- and to report activities that the bankers themselves deemed suspicious. The proposed new regulations would have required all transactions to be monitored, no matter how small. News of the Know Your Customer proposal circulated on the Internet and in print; e-mail comments, which the FDIC had solicited, came pouring in. The result: Some 254,000 people came out against the regulations, while only 72 people favored them. The planned regulations were quickly withdrawn, but the administration plans to issue new ones. For years the BSA has had strong support in Congress. But now it seems that's changing. Reps. Ron Paul (R., Texas) and Tom Campbell (R., Calif.) have introduced legislation that would repeal the BSA and give people the right to check and challenge government records. The legislation is rapidly gaining cosponsors on both sides of the aisle. Just as important, a growing number of law-enforcement organizations have recognized that the BSA has not been effective. Between 1987 and 1996, banks filed more than 77 million Currency Transaction Reports with the Treasury. This deluge of paperwork resulted in a mere 580 convictions. As Rep. Paul noted, "More than 99.999% of those [who] had their privacy invaded were law-abiding citizens going about their own personal financial business." The total private- and public-sector costs have been tens of millions of dollars per conviction, many times what Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr has spent per conviction in his allegedly extravagant investigation. Moreover, the new digital technologies now coming into widespread use mean that no matter how assiduously the BSA and related provisions are enforced, money laundering and other financial crimes will be even more difficult to detect. Law-enforcement officials are nervously surveying a host of devices that will make their jobs more difficult, particularly easy-to-use, practically unbreakable encryption systems. These technologies are coming together in ways that will allow people to move money and financial assets instantaneously to almost any point on the globe without the knowledge of any government. Many in government wish to squelch these developments, either because they fear the loss of their own roles as economic gatekeepers, or because they genuinely believe that the new technologies will make life easier for drug dealers, money launderers and other assorted criminals. To be sure, these technologies do make a criminal's life easier -- as do the telephone and automobile. Yet it is also true that the digital age has given law enforcement many more tools to observe and detect criminal activity. Law-enforcement officials must learn to adapt new technologies to their purposes, rather than outlaw them in the futile hope that they will simply go away. As the digital revolution takes hold, laws that were written for another era will become increasingly difficult to enforce. Americans can choose either to jettison these laws and take advantage of new technologies and the opportunities they create, or keep the laws and pay the price in economic inefficiency, technological backwardness and government intrusiveness. The immediate fate of the BSA will be a good indication of the direction we eventually take. --- Mr. Rahn is
[CTRL] British farmer destroys nation's first genetically modified crop
-Caveat Lector- British farmer destroys nation's first genetically modified crop Copyright © 1999 Nando Media Copyright © 1999 Associated Press LONDON (June 7, 1999 3:33 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - Environmentalists on Monday praised a farmer's decision to destroy Britain's first genetically modified test crop. But Fred Barker, whose modified oilseed plants were sprayed this weekend with a powerful pesticide, insisted that he still backs modified foods. Barker, who planted the crop two months ago, said he destroyed the plants at his Wiltshire farm because his trustees both oppose such foods and were frightened by a threat from the Soil Association, an organic lobby group, to remove its endorsement from organic food produced elsewhere on the farm. "I believed when I first planted these crops, just as I believe now, that it is a step forward in agriculture," Barker said. The Soil Association and other environmental groups insist that the voluntary guidelines for the tests do not guard against the threat of cross- pollination between modified plants and ordinary crops. "We are pleased because it is one less plot out there that is threatening to pollute other crops, including organic plots," said Patrick Holden, the Soil Association's director. Prime Minister Tony Blair's government says it believes genetically modified foods are safe. Government ministers are monitoring trial plantings of such crops and will examine the results closely before allowing commercial planting, Blair says. Prince Charles weighed in last week, writing in The Daily Mail that he did not think genetically modified crops were adequately tested or necessary. Charles' Highgrove estate is 17 miles from Barker's farm. Although widely accepted and approved in the United States, genetically modified crops have won less acceptance across Europe.

Lovely, Lovely Ladies 0NE Sunday morning a couple of years ago, devotees of the New York Times crossword-puzzle page found themselves confronted with the following problem and partial solution: While, manfully, doers of the big weekly puzzle tried to find a nineletter word to fit the definition, members of the Junior League themselves, girlfully, tried to make the solution be "volunteer." But try as they might, "volunteer" would not mesh with the vertical words around it. Less parochial puzzle-workers came to the correct solution more quickly which, alas, was "debutante." So distressed were members of the Junior League that many letters were written to the Times about it, and an entire article on the subject appeared in the Junior League magazine. That Sunday crossword, and the trouble the Leaguers had with it, illustrates the curious dichotomy that exists within the Junior League today. League members are, indeed, volunteers. A specific amount of weekly toil and endeavor in behalf of some approved good cause is a requisite to continuing membership. But League members are also, to a large extent, debutantes and former debutantes. In smaller cities that do not have organized debutante balls, joining the Junior League is the accompaniment, if not almost the equivalent, of coming out. Still, Leaguers do not like to be known as "Just debutantes," because, as one Leaguer puts it, "That makes us sound as though we're dilettantes who are afraid to get our hands dirty." Nor do they like to be considered it just volunteers." That, as the same lady says, sounds "pretty dreary," as though Leaguers' hands were wrist-deep in mud most of the time. In other words, Junior Leaguers are unwilling to give up completely either half of their disparate organization, though the two halves do not seem to blend very comfortably, if at all. This problem is currently reflected, in other forms, all across the pastel-bued landscape of American Society: should "society" be written with a capital or lower-case s, for example? Most people who are "in Society" today would seem to want to have it a little of both, but such a compromise would call for a new kind of typography. "In 1904 and 1905, when 1 came out in New York, Society was still written with a capital S," says Mrs. Corinne Robinson Alsop Cole, a niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, very definitely a member of the New York Old Guard and (by her first marriage to the late Joseph Wright Alsop) the mother of columnist Joseph Alsop and Saturday Evening Post editor Stewart Alsop. (Mrs. Cole, from the bastion of her farm in Avon, Connecticut, is also, along with such formidable figures as Mrs. Winthrop Aldrich and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, one of the towering grandes dames of the entire East.) "It was a period of an elite Four Hundred," she says, "the last year of Mrs. Astor's great balls. The list of debutantes was small. Forebears, not fortunes, gave the 'open sesame' to parties at the great private houses." In those days, Mrs. Cole recalls, a young woman who made her debut was simultaneously made aware of the great and pressing obligations that family and social position imposed upon her. Society was a serious business and upon entering it a girl lifted her share of the city's poor, beleaguered, and untidy masses upon her fragile and well-bred shoulders. The community's unfortunate its sick, its blind, its orphans, and its unwed mothers.- became a burden that would be hers for life. As a result, says Mrs. Cole, coming out was not so much "a debutante party" as "a terrifying ordeal." In those days, a girl was "polished" rather than educated, and part of the polishing instructed her as to her responsibilities to those less well-off than she. "The word 'charity' was not in disrepute then, as it is now," says Mrs. Cole. "We all had our charities. We had local families whom we considered deserving, whom we cared for. And if a project seemed worthy we supported it with time and money. But we did it on a personal basis." Society was, for the young Corinne Robinson, "the small group of people we knew," and, in her debutante year, Miss Robinson joined a smallish organization established by a group of her friends and contemporaries called The Junior League for the Promotion of Settlement Houses "for the benefit of the poor and the betterment of the city." Just three years earlier, in 1901, two well-connected young ladies Miss Mary Harriman (the daughter of railroad king E. H. Harriman, and the sister of New York's ex-Governor Averell Harriman) and Miss Nathalie Henderson (later Mrs. Joseph R. Swan) were driving down Riverside Drive in a snappy four-wheeled sulky behind Gulnair, Mary Harriman's trotting horse. On that

The House on H Street HARRY MICAJAH DAUGHERTY, age sixty-one, the attorney general, was born across town from Jess Smith's home in Washington Court House, Ohio. He was the older of two boys, whose father died when they were youngsters. Both boys went to work at an ,early age, encouraged by a mother who was determined that they would make good. Harry worked after school and on Saturdays at a grocery store. "He was so little," his mother said, "he had to stand on a box to reach the cash drawer." Along the way, Harry took an interest in Jess Smith, who was one of the other fatherless boys in town and twelve years younger than Harry. Daugherty took on young Jess with great sympathymore as a father than a friend or brother-and advised him, coached him, and helped him get started in his dry goods business. Harry's younger brother Mally meanwhile went straight into the banking business and came, in time, to own the Washington Court House bank. Harry himself, after he graduated from Washington Court House High School, went on to the University of Michigan, from which he received a law degree in 1881. Not long after Harry graduated from law school and returned to Washington Court House, he met Lucy Walker, who had come to town to teach music in the public school. She was said to be the most beautiful girl in town, and when Harry heard her sing "Last Night" and "Love's Old Sweet Song," he began to court her. They were married in 1884, and Daughterty's love for her apparently never weakened or wavered. They had two children, a boy and a girl; the boy grew up to be an alcoholic, and the girl was constantly ill. Daugherty's wife developed crippling arthritis at an early age, and Daugherty spent much of his time and thought caring for her and moving her from home to hospital and back again. By the time Jess and Harry had reached Washington, Jess was spending some of his time taking care of Mrs. Daugherty, too, putting her to bed, carrying her to the window to sit in the sunlight. Daugherty himself complained more and more of his own health and, from time to time, would simply collapse from fatigue. He started out as a criminal lawyer in Washington Court House, but, soon, he found it best to settle out of court and, then, even better to arrange things ahead of time in the halls of the state legislature in Columbus. He became known as a political lawyer, or fixer, and, to a local railroad construction company, he added a list of corporate clients that included the Ohio State Telephone Company, Armour and Company, and the American Tobacco Company. As a young attorney, he seemed always on the move, always to have a dozen deals in the works. He loved to put things over, but he seemed almost not to care whether he won or lost. He was entirely ruthless; but he carried almost no grudges. He swore copiously, and he often befuddled his less nimble-witted associates with his oblique jests. When the occasion called for it, no one could be more direct. He lied often, flatly, and without shame, to close friends as well as to strangers. He was a shrewd judge of character, adept particularly at seeing another man's weakness. He first ran for political office in the Fourth Ward of Columbus, a constituency of about a thousand persons, and was elected councilman. He next ran for prosecuting attorney of Fayette County and was elected. He then ran for representative in the state legislature, and he was elected, and reelected. He was never elected to office again. Soon after he was elected for his second term in the state legislature, he was accused of accepting a bribe of "seven crisp $500 bills" for his vote-this in the days when state legislatures elected United States senators-in a Senate election. Although nothing was ever proven, the accusation began a string of charges, investigations, hearings, inquiries, and trials that accompanied Daugherty all his life. He faced every charge, he met every accusation, he was never convicted of a single crime. But he was never trusted by the voters. He lost elections for nearly every office available in Ohio; he lost twice in campaigns for Congress, once in a campaign for the nomination for state attorney general, once for the nomination for Republican governor, and once for the nomination for United States senator. Not even the politicians trusted him-or perhaps the politicians least of all-and he was defeated, also, for a plethora of other, minor offices. In the 1920 election, although few politicians liked having him around, and almost none would make a firm deal with him, he threw himself into the presidential campaign with all the swagger, profanity, and robustiousness he could muster. He turned himself into a campaign manager for a dark horse candidate who held back for

The Patsy I drove the rental car southeast on Interstate 10 toward Tucson, exiting on 387 to reach the town of Florence and the Arizona State Prison. I hardly expected to find a model of the modern maximum security penitentiary jutting out of the sand, but nothing in my experience had prepared me for the abysmal hellhole I found. Convict labor built the Florence "correctional facility" from remnants of the Old West's notorious Yuma Territorial Prison, moved some two hundred milesliterally stone by stoneacross the desert. Inmates sweltered in sizzling slow summers and shivered when whistling winter winds chased in all manner of wilderness vermin through gaping cracks and crevices. Its only appearances of "modernization": razor wire and closely spaced guard towers topping the institution's ugly stone walls. Death row, where Robison and Dunlap existed in six-by-ten-foot cells, came equipped with aggressive rats and a menagerie of small, shyer creatures skittering across the floor, over grungy walls, and along a crumbling ceiling that leaked copiously whenever the rains came. Except for a few minutes of fresh air and outdoor exercise in a hurricane-fence enclosure called the "dog run," inmates stayed locked down twenty-four hours a day. Death row also served as a deterrent to crime within the prison. When inmates from the general prison population committed some serious infraction (say, knifing a guard), the harshest punishment authorities could dole out was a stint on death rowsuffering the same misery Dunlap, Robison, and several dozen others convicted of capital crimes had to endure from their first day. I had called ahead, and after a wearisome row with Carolyn Robinson, a warden's assistant, had obtained an okay to visit Max and Jim. I suspected the battle hadn't ended, however, and sure enough, as soon as I'd entered the administration building, a surly captain with the walleyed stare of a fish told me, "You can't be here." "I'm already here," I pointed out, and attempted to reason with the man. He griped that what I wanted was "something out of the ordinary." Logic seemed beside the point as I tried to convince this "screw" that he had no say in the matter-one of his superiors had already granted permission-until at last he called Carolyn Robinson. (I grew to know her well in the next year and a half and almost became fond of hearing, "You back again?") Although she was still riled that I'd gained entrance into their domain-she must have checked around and learned that (1) 1 couldn't be legally stopped and (2) my reputation suggested I would sue if they tried-she told him to send me through. After the captain searched my pockets, briefcase, tape recorder, and self, then had me walk through a metal detector, a trusty escorted me to another building and into a minuscule attorney/client room containing all of one tiny table and two small chairs. Through a window I spotted Max Dunlap being led across the yard, knowing he would undergo a strip search before and after seeing me. I looked him over when we shook hands. He stood six feet tall, weighed around two hundred and thirty pounds, and at fortyeight years already had a full head of steel-gray hair. My instant impression: an outdoors type with a permanent Huckleberry Hound expression on a guileless face that radiated openness, honesty and, yes, simplicity. Even if I hadn't talked with the committee, I would have judged this man a valued, trusted neighbor in middle-income suburbia; in a hustler's milieu, he'd be an out-and-out sucker. And clearly a staunch family man. Soon as we'd introduced ourselvesI with a brief oral resume, he wondering if I'd met his wife and children-he said, and I didn't doubt it, that he could accept his fate, but "It's terrible what this has done to Barbara and the kids." Dunlap's sun-weathered face made it easy to picture him as a contractor supervising workmen at a construction site and still wearing his hard hat after 5 P.m. in the good-time atmosphere of a neighborhood bar, drinking beer with friends before heading home for dinner. He spoke softly and earnestly, ignoring the yellow pads I brought for him to write on, in case we had listeners. Already convinced that the Arizona authorities had artfully maneuvered him onto death row, I assumed they'd consider bugging his visitor conversations a small matter. "Max," I said, "I think the toughest area you have to overcome is that money you delivered to Adamson. And your relationship to Kemper Marley. Without Marley, you had no motive at all for the killing." Dunlap's delivery of cash to Adamson had evidently cinched the jury's decision to convict. I knew the story by heart from the reading I did the night before, but I wanted to hear it from my

Date: May 1999 Quotes This is the kind of book I love: a can-of-worms odyssey by a journalist with balls of brass and a relentless determination to get to the truth. What starts out as a search for facts turns into a Conradesque epic, a journey into a real-life heart of darkness where every hall is mirrored, nothing is what it seems, and every truth uncovered leads to a deeper mystery. The Man Who Tried To Save The World has all the elements of a Hollywood blockbuster - and enigmatic Yank with military and spy connections, shadowy Russian spooks, mysterious women, bandits and brigands, Chechnyan warlords, even missing nukes - with this difference: it's all true. (Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire) Steven Pressfield Scott Anderson's The Man Who Tried To Save The World is a taut thriller of wartime intrigue that also happens to be true. Through the story of Fred Cuny's disappearance, Anderson gives us the story of Chechnya, and he does so with a reporter's exactitude and a novelist's sense of the tragic and absurd. A powerful, many-layered book. (Darcy Frey, author of The Last Shot) Darcy Frey This is war at its most brutal, and war reporting at its finest. Scott Anderson's tour through Chechnya in search of a lost American humanitarian ranks as one of the most thrilling stories I've ever read. That Anderson made it out alive is incredible, but this is not just an adventure story, but a mystery of the first order. Sebastian Junger Reviews and Commentary We love reading reviewsand the more of them, the better. We didnt write the reviews below (other people did), but we thought youd be interested in their comments. This Book was reviewed by: The Publisher, Esquire, Richard Beeston - The New York Times Book Review and Kirkus From The Publisher: Fred Cuny spent his life in terrible places. In countries rent by war, earthquake, famine, and hurricane, Cuny saved hundreds of thousands of lives with a fearlessness that amazed all who knew him. A Texan, a teller of tall tales, a womanizer, and a renegade, Cuny grew ever more daring in his globe-trotting adventures as his motivations became murkier. Was he a danger junkie? A CIA spy? Or a man who truly believed he had the wits and courage to save the world? After twenty-five years of heroic work that earned Cuny the nickname "Master of Disaster," he set off to the rogue Russian republic of Chechnya, a land of gangsters and Islamic terrorists, a quasi-state engaged in an unimaginably savage war with a Russian army of drunken, brutal incompetents. Cuny went to try to stop the war, but for the first time in his life he was scared, unsure of himself in an insane landscape where betrayal and murder lurked behind every face. He failed to stop the horror, yet soon returned to Chechnya on a mysterious mission. Cuny was last seen on a lonely mountain road, headed for a rebel fortress that was being subjected to the most intense artillery bombardment since World War II. War correspondent Scott Anderson became obsessed with Cuny's fate, and ventured into the deadly war zone himself in search of answers to several haunting questions: Whom was Cuny working for? What happened to him, and why? Most powerfully, what sort of man believes he can save the world? From Esquire: ...[I]mpressively obsessive reportage... From Richard Beeston - The New York Times Book Review: ...Anderson has to work through several theories before getting to the truth about Fred CunyI [wonder] what he would have made of Kosovo and the humanitarian disaster unfolding in the region. If anyone could have figured a way out of this mess, it would have been Cuny. From Kirkus: A masterful portrait of Fred Cuny, a renegade Texan who certainly deserved his nickname, ``Master of Disaster.'' It's hard to name a major disaster in the last 20 years that didnt find Cuny at the helm of the rescue effort. Operation Provide Comfort, the joint civilian and military effort to save the Iraqi Kurds? Cuny was there and an organizational hero. Somalia? Cuny was there as well. Bosnia too, but that crisis turned his attention from providing relief to creating blueprints for solving man-made disasters, i.e., wars. That decision proved fatal. Cuny's demise came in Chechnya, where he mysteriously disappeared on a so-called relief mission. His body has never been found, despite an intense search by many, including those authorized by top US officials and billionaire

Clement Stone, P M A Communications, Incorporated] --[1]-- I Inside The League ONE We maintain that the freedom-loving peoples must work in close cooperation to overcome the evil force of communism and strengthen their unity to expand the sphere of freedom. Preamble to the WACL Charter THE EVENING CROWDS on Calle Atocha on January 23, 1977, had already thinned by nine-thirty. Tourists, who never frequented that middle-class shopping street in the heart of Madrid, were inside the cafes in Plaza Mayor or strolling along the ornate Gran Via. By ten o'clock, the Madrilenios had joined them. Calle Atocha was virtually deserted. At ten-fifteen, no one noticed the two young men in long coats on the corner. Jose Fernandez Cerra casually gazed up and down the four-lane street. The movie at Cine Consulado hadn't let out yet, but he noted with satisfaction that the shopsthe little place at number 42 that sold watches, the Icartua stationery store, the photo kioskwere all closed. Only the lights of the El Globo bar showed activity, but even there the waiters were mopping the floors. Just beyond El Globo was the stairway leading down to the Metro station and, in the little triangle of grass and sidewalks and park benches that were the Plaza San Martin, the large illuminated clock said it was ten-twenty. Jose gazed at the building before him: number 55 Calle Atocha. It was a dreary five-story building. The ground floor was occupied by a branch of the Banco Hispano Americano, dark and shuttered at this hour. The second floor was of the same drab concrete, the large windows giving onto small balconies enclosed by wrought-iron grills. The top three floors were of brick, alternating red and white, giving it a reticulated effect. Most of the rooms were dark, with shutters pulled tight, but not the apartment Jose was watching. On the third floor, light shone through the slats and voices were heard. Jose walked to the entrance and Carlos Garcia Julia followed. The green front doors were open, and the two men ignored the intercom system. They had expected the doors to be lockedafter all, 1977 was a violent time in Spain. Their luck held as they crossed the foyer and started up the stairs, passing the small window of the sleeping watchman's room. They walked softly up the creaking wooden stairs, keeping close to the wall where the boards had a firmer foundation. The stairs wound their way around an open elevator. Its ropes and pulleys looked ancient, but it wasn't for safety reasons that Jose and Carlos had opted to walk. They reached the second floor, passed the closed door of a pension, and continued up into the darkness. They stood outside the oak door on the third floor and waited for their eyes to adjust to the weak light, the sole illumination coming from the glow of the dirty sky-light one floor above. Carlos stuck his hands into his coat pockets as Jose rang the buzzer. The eight men and one woman in the room fell silent at the sound of the buzzer. The lawyerssome communists, some merely liberal, all active in labor lawwere having a reunion of sorts, and their number was completethey had no idea who could be arriving at this late hour. Maria Dolores Gonzalez Ruis rose from her chair and left the smoke-filled front room. As soon as the bolt was lifted, Jose and Carlos burst through the door. Maria Dolores fell silent upon seeing the pistol aimed at her head. Following their hushed orders, she led the two intruders into the conference room. "Get against the wall!" Jose shouted at the stunned men. "What's going on?" one of the lawyers demanded as they stood against the white wall. "What do you want?" Neither Carlos nor Jose answered. With the eight men and Maria Dolores facing the wall, Carlos took the safety off his gun. Jose turned to him and nodded. Carlos started at the left, Jose at the right, each working toward the center, as they carefully put a bullet into the back or head of each of the nine occupants of apartment three. As the bodies fell, the intruders reloaded and bred into the heap. The room became thick with gunpowder. The screams of shock turned into moans of pain and the deep wheeze of the dying. Carlos and Jose calmly put away their guns, stepped out onto the staircase into the chaos of half-dressed residents awakened by the gunfire, descended to the street, and disappeared. Jozo Damjanovic was a man driven by one consuming passion, and he had carried it with him from Europe to South America: to find officials of the Yugoslavian government and kill them. A fanatical Croatian nationalist, Damjanovic had dedicated his life to a deadly war against the Tito regime, which had incorporated his homeland into the Socialist Federal

YOUR SUBJECT MATTER IS A COLLECTION OF ORIENTAL FASCISTS, MILITARISTS, RIGHT WING TERRORISTS WHO PUT BOMBS IN CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT, DEATH SQUADS, ASSASSINS, CRIMINALS AND MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE AS MUCH OPPOSED TO DEMOCRACY AS THEY ARE COMMUNISM. YOU ARE IN SOME DANGER YOURSELF Letter to the authors from a former League member = AUTHORS ' NOTE This book is about specific people and organizations that have belonged to the World Anti-Communist League. It may be presumed that all members of the League share a strong anti-communist sentiment, but it doesn't necessarily follow that they share a common strategy in acting upon this sentiment. Not all League members are Nazis or death squad leaders, some are respectable, influential conservatives in their respective nations. They will no doubt be dismayed to find themselves discussed in conjunction with outright thugs, terrorists, and criminals. Nevertheless, it is a situation of their own choosing. No League member can claim ignorance of the dark side of the World Anti-Communist League: in the past decade, investigators, newspapers, even League members themselves have publicly exposed some of its seamier aspects. Although it seems inconceivable to us that the bona fide conservatives involved in the League do not know about the unsavory background of some of their fellow members, without evidence to the contrary we must give them the benefit of the doubt and ascribe their association with the League to naivete rather than to an orientation shared with their infamous associates. If nothing else, perhaps this book will cause mainstream conservatives to be more selective about who they choose to ally themselves with in the future. In Inside the League, we discuss organizations on six continents with histories dating in some cases to the 1920s or before. In the interest of brevity and readability, we have avoided elaborating on some issues that are subjects of debate in some circles (such as exactly when an organization was founded, what other organization it grew out of, and so on) and that can only serve to further complicate an already complex subject. In the same vein, one organization is often known under a variety of names (the Iron Guard, the Legionary Movement, Miscarea Legionaria, Garde de Fer, the Legion of the Archangel Michael) or is spelled in a number of ways (Ustasha, Ustashi, Ustascha, Ustase). In these cases, we have chosen the name and spelling in most common usage while leaving the other spellings in place in cited sources. In addition to this, many Asian names can be transliterated in different ways. Wherever possible, we have written their names as they seem to prefer, with the result that their last names occasionally appear before their first names. This book cannot presume to be a definitive work on the international alliances of the extreme right or on the history of unconventional warfare. We have examined the World Anti-Communist League and placed special focus on it because it is the one organization in which representatives of virtually every right-wing extremist movement that has practiced unconventional warfare are to be found. The League is the one constant in this netherworld, whether looking at Croatian terrorists, Norwegian neo-Nazis, Japanese war criminals, or American ultra-rightists, you will find them here. If this book gives comfort or rhetorical ammunition to the far left, it is unintentional. This book is not an attack on any respectable conservative political movement. To the contrary, much of our most important information came from conservative individuals and organizations who were appalled by the inclusion of what they view as fascist elements under the mantle of anti-communism. It should be unnecessary to state that the average conservative has as much in common with a man like Roberto D'Aubuisson or an organization like the Mexican Tecos as the average liberal does with Carlos the Jackal or the Italian Red Brigade. To expose the World Anti-Communist League is not to be "soft on communism." If anything, such an endeavor should assist the anti-communist cause, since the worst aspect of the League is that it maligns legitimate organizations and libels a legitimate political cause. Few would argue that Romania, for instance, languishes under a rigid communist dictatorship or that Romanians deserve to be freed from this repression. With that said, many may question whether this cause is best represented by men who,

A fairly gaping one is convincing the Kosovo Liberation Army to close up shop and behave. "We would like them not to try to impede the withdrawal of the Serb forces...if they are leaving sincerely and properly," says NATO spokesman Jamie Shea. This from the chap who has spent the past few weeks at a podium telling the world what bloodthirsty butchers the Serbs are. Perhaps he thought the KLA would toss garlands and not grenades at Serbian columns. And that is but one problem. The deal the Russians and Finns brokered puts the United Nations, not NATO, as NATO had previously insisted, at the center of any post-conflict clean up. Putting aside the rather disturbing notion that the U.S. fought a war over which team of international bureaucrats would be in charge, going to the U.N. means going to Russia and China. Most importantly, what NATO thought was an agreement to end the fighting seems to be taken by the Serbs as merely a blueprint for further negotiations. They say they need more time to pull out. NATO says such demands show Belgrade is just stalling. The real kicker is that once some kind of "agreement" is reached, U.S. involvement does not scale down--it scales up. Troops will be needed to police or enforce the agreement--tens of thousands of them. The war is over.

Service providers want to force the cable guys to offer their services along with their own as new cable access plans are rolled out in the coming months. Last week the ISPs cheered a decision by a federal judge in Oregon which allowed the requirement to be placed on cable operators in two jurisdictions. The ruling allows the city of Portland and county of Multnomah to force ATT to let AOL and other providers ride its cable into the homes of customers. The jurisdictions said they acted as a condition of ATT's $48 billion acquisition of cable operator Tele-Communications Inc. ATT had planned to offer customers only its own @Home Corp. cable Internet service. That set U.S. District Judge Owen Panner to thinking, with disastrous results. "The open access requirement is within the authority of the city and county to protect competition," Judge Panner wrote. Judge Panner also rejected arguments that federal law prohibited the city and county from acting, and that open access violated the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, and violated the First Amendment. No time for that when there's law to be made. So it has come to this: "open access" that depends on locally granted and protected monopolies, the very monopolies which are the root of all complaints about cable. Price? Jurisdictions with more than one servicer have lower cable bills. Must carry? Wouldn't be any issue absent the monopoly: Some franchises would carry locals, some wouldn't. Service? Only the intrusion of the dish networks has begun to change cable's view of consumers to something other than fish in a barrel. But local governments insist on the monopoly arrangement because it nets them easy money, often five percent of gross revenues for the service. When the Mafia does it, it is called protection money. Meanwhile, Internet Ventures, a California ISP, is petitioning the Federal Communication Commission to force the cable guys to throw open their nets. The FCC has steadfastly tried to steer away from this hornet's nest for no other reason than any decision would bound to be appealed, thus further delaying the spiffy new services the FCC keeps assuring the public are on the way. But Internet Ventures is trying to change that. It argues that the 1984 "must carry" rule--the one that said cable has to offer local over-the-air broadcasts--applies to ISPs too. Or in other words, the Internet is one big broadcast channel. Clearly it isn't--it is

Here then is today's ZNet Commentary... -- When Kids Kill By Sandy Carter Since the school shootings in Littleton, the nation's print and broadcast media have unleashed a sensational outpouring of analysis and concern aiming to explain why boys kill and what can be done to save them. Once we get by the headlines, however, we find our questions and compassion are being directed toward "our boys." As Harvard psychiatrist Alvin Poussaint has noted, "When white middle class kids kill, there is always a public outcry of why and a search for what went wrong, but when inner city minority kids kill, the public is warned of demons and super predators." Stepping back some from the spin of the moment, it is easy to see a double standard. According to FBI statistics, the overall rate of homicide has remained relatively constant for the past 30 years. However, in the period from the mid-80s to the mid-90s when youth homicide soared 168 percent, media and political leaders turned a blind eye to deteriorating conditions in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Houston. As the inner-city industrial base disintegrated, family and social services cutback, schools worsened, and hope disappeared, juvenile arrests for weapons, aggravated assault, robbery and murder jumped 50 percent. Yet as long as the face of violence was black or brown, a simple solution of more prisons and more police seemed the best answer to violent youth. But today, the issue is more "complex." What's happening in the heartland? What's gone wrong in our small towns and suburbs? Where are the parents of these kids? What values are we teaching? It's time to censor violent media. Can we get some gun control? White upper and middle class boys from "good families" have committed mass murder and stirred the national conscience. Predictably several timely books have arrived to meet the demand for serious soul searching. By far the most useful is James Garbarino's Lost Boys: Why Our Sons Turn Violent And How We Can Save Them (The Free Press). A professor of human development at Cornell University, Garbarino has been studying violent youth of all races and socio-economic backgrounds for 25 years. As a result, he has developed a class and race perspective on violence that won't allow the issue to be reduced to family and emotional problems. While sharing in the conventional wisdom regarding risk factors for urban youth violence (a family history of criminal violence, physical and sexual abuse, gang membership, drug use, gun use, parental abandonment), Garbarino has seen enough to weight social inequality and community breakdown primary causes of youth homicide. Criminal justice stats from California and New York indicate that black and Latino teens had murder rates 10 to 20 times higher than white teens during the early to mid 1990s. Nonetheless, the violence of lost boys of color sparked few cries of compassionate intervention. Beyond the hip-hop nation, race, poverty, and despair wasn't news. In 1999, it still isn't. And with that in mind, Garbarino's book is drawing national attention because of what he has to say about the lethal violence of white youth of relative economic privilege. Citing interviews with middle class boys jailed for homicide and recent data suggesting a rising murder rate for small town/rural youth, Garbarino concludes that boys really are angrier and more violent these days. And why are America's more favored sons losing their way? While keenly aware of class and race differences, Garbarino finds "profound similarities" between boys who kill. Most all have experienced parental abandonment, abuse, and rejection. Most all live with no meaning beyond self and money. Absent family and community ties, they fall victim to "violence, crude sexuality, shallow materialism, mean spirited competitiveness, and spiritual emptiness." In other words, lost boys are a by-product of everyday pathologies of American life. The lost boys of the white small town/suburban middle class are, of course, not provoked by the harsh economic and social conditions of the inner city. And Garbarino is very weak on nailing "risk
