[CTRL] (Fwd) Claremont Institute Precepts: Day of Deliverance
-Caveat Lector- ""..Britain has been fill'd with Folly and America with Wisdom, at least this is my judgment--time must determine."" True now as then? Given the state of affairs 'o'er there', it seems PM Blair can't get enough of running one crisis after another ... --- Forwarded Message Follows --- The Claremont Institute--PRECEPTS | | July 2, 1999 Visit http://www.claremont.org | | No. 178 The fourth of July is our favorite holiday. It is a time when all of us gather together under the warmth of the California sun, to eat, drink and revel with our families. We read patriotic speeches in honor of the men who signed their names and pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to fight for freedom and equality before the law. But there is another anniversary, overshadowed by the events of the fourth, we would bring to your attention. That is July 2, 1776, the day the Continental Congress voted to declare independence and set in motion those events we celebrate this weekend. John Adams--whose role in setting those revolutionary events in motion has abated in the public memory over time-- thought July 2 ought to be commemorated as America's "day of deliverance" from the shackles of British tyranny. Adams wrote two letters to his beloved wife, Abigail, the day after the historic resolution to declare independence and embark upon the greatest experiment in free government the world has ever known. They are an inspiration. "Through all the gloom," Adams wrote, "I can see the rays of light and glory; I can see that the end is more than worth all the means, and that posterity will triumph" I invite you to read excerpts of Adams' letters below. Sincerely, Larry P. Arnn President, The Claremont Institute Philadelphia, July 3, 1776 Morning ..Yesterday the greatest question was decided, which ever was debated in America, and a greater, perhaps, never was or will be decided among Men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony "that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, and as such they have, and of right ought to have, full power to make war, conclude peace, establish commerce, and to do all the other acts and things which other states may rightfully do." You will see in a few days a declaration setting forth the causes which have impelled us to this mighty revolution and the reasons which will justify it in the sight of God and man. A plan of confederation will be taken up in a few days ..Britain has been fill'd with Folly and America with Wisdom, at least this is my judgment--time must determine. It is the will of Heaven that the two countries should be sundered forever. It may be the will of Heaven that America shall suffer calamities still more wasting and distressing yet more dreadful. If this is to be the case, it will have this good effect, at least: it will inspire us with many virtues, which we have not, and correct many errors, follies, and vices, which threaten to disturb, dishonor, and destroy us. The furnace of affliction produces refinement, in states as well as individuals. And the new governments we are assuming, in every part, will require a purification from our vices and an augmentation of our virtues or they will be no blessings. The people will have unbounded power. And the people are extremely addicted to corruption and venality, as well as the great. I am not without apprehensions from this quarter, but I must submit all my hopes and fears to an overruling Providence, in which, unfashionable as the faith may be, I firmly believe Philadelphia, July 3, 1776 Evening ..The second day of July, 1776, will be a memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations, as the great Anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward forever. You will think me transported with enthusiasm; but I am not. I am well aware of the toil, and blood, and treasure, that it will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states. Yet, through all the gloom, I can see the rays of light and glory; I can see that the end is more than worth all the means, and that posterity will triumph, although you and I may rue, which I hope we shall not.

-Caveat Lector- From slate.com ""George W. Bush jokes that his father's idea of a perfect son is Al Gore Jr."" strange bedfellow And So's Your Old Man: Why isn't George W. more like his dad? By David Plotz Stories about Republican President-designate George W. Bush invariably note that he has spent most of his life doing exactly what his father, former President George H.W. Bush, once did. This is not quite right. W. has spent most of his life doing exactly what his father did, but doing it worse. He is a chip off the old block, chipped. Poppy Bush starred at Andover. W. lazed his way through the prep school. The father motored through Yale in two and a half years, earning a Phi Beta Kappa key along the way. The son squeaked through old Eli. Poppy, like his own father Sen. Prescott Bush before him, captained the Yale baseball team and joined the secret society Skull Bones. W. wasn't good enough to play ball for Yale. And though he joined Skull Bones, he whiled away his nights with a much less refined group, the hard-drinking frat brothers of DKE. The elder Bush enlisted in the Navy in 1942, became the service's youngest fighter pilot, flew 58 missions in the South Pacific, was shot down over enemy waters, and won the Distinguished Flying Cross. The son also became a fighter pilot--for the Texas Air National Guard. He spent the Vietnam War flying "missions" over the Texas scrub. W. followed his father's path into the oil business. Both abandoned New England for West Texas to strike it rich. Both relied on rich friends for a head start, but whereas the old man scored in his oilfields, the son struggled. George H.W. ran for Congress and won. George W. ran for Congress and lost. Come middle age, the father threw himself into public service: U.N. ambassador, China ambassador, CIA director. The son threw himself into baseball, as an executive for the Texas Rangers. (Americans tend to forget the heroic life of President Bush. This was one of his unfortunate talents: He could make the extraordinary seem mundane.) There are competing theories about what the son's pale imitation of a resume signifies. The first, popular among Gov. Bush's fans, is that he's a late bloomer. It took him till his mid-40s to settle down, but now that he has he is making up for his lost years and surpassing the father he has so long trailed. After all, he has won a statewide race in Texas twice. Poppy lost both his statewide campaigns in Texas. Junior has already vanquished former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, the woman who ridiculed his father in 1988. Now he will topple Al Gore, half the team that battered Dad in 1992. The other, less charitable, theory surmises that just as W. has tried to equal his father and fallen short, so he'll find some way to choke in the presidential election. It's far too early to take sides on this question or to draw grand psychological conclusions about how the father will shadow the son's presidential campaign. But there is another way to look at W.'s knockoff resume: as a documentary of a generational change in American politics. Brookings Institution scholar Stephen Hess, author of America's Political Dynasties, notes that American political dynasties come in all sizes and flavors. In some, a family from humble origins uses political success to make itself rich and snooty. In some, a dynasty is stolidly consistent across generations. The Tafts of Ohio, for instance, have been steady Republican burghers for more than a century. The Bushes started as a noblesse oblige dynasty. Prescott Bush began his (forgettable) service as a senator only after a long career as a gentleman banker. He viewed his political activity as an obligation, and he instilled that sentiment in his son George. Poppy was dutiful in pursuit of office, compiling the requisite experience almost mechanically, adding line after line to his resume until America had no choice but to elect him president. Politics was always a duty, never a pleasure. (Remember the horror of hearing George Bush ingratiating himself with voters by calling them "my main man" and the like?) But what began as noblesse oblige has morphed into something different during this generation. The Bushes are a microcosm of the transformation of Republican politics from Northeastern elitism to Western populism. The son's failure to match his father reflects this small-D democratization. Bush the elder came of age when New England Republicans led the party, and patrician manners were boons to a Republican. But in an era when a politician's ability to communicate trumps anything else and the balance of Republican power has shifted west, the preppy, Anglican ethos that defined the old man is suspect. (George W. Bush spent his 1978 congressional campaign excusing his father's membership in the Trilateral Commission.) In today's politics, the son's checkered resume signifies

-Caveat Lector- From Irish Times New challenges for Mr. Blair Co ... Saturday, July 3, 1999 Drumcree enshrouded in a ring of steel - --- By Chris Anderson, in Drumcree The fields around Drumcree Parish Church were transformed yesterday from a picturesque rural landscape into a scene reminiscent of a first World War battlefield. From shortly after 3 a.m., the RUC and British soldiers poured into the fields directly facing the Co Armagh church. Saxon armoured cars provided the vanguard of the security deployment, quickly followed by engineer units, complete with digging and ploughing equipment. These in turn were supported by RUC officers in full riot gear and soldiers in armoured Land-Rovers. Within minutes the roads leading to Drumcree were sealed and work began on the installation of the security measures. Army engineers ploughed a track as wide as a major road across the two fields which, in recent years, have been used by the Orangemen as rallying points. Behind this, soldiers using mechanical diggers widened and deepened the small stream which bisects the field pattern at Drumcree. The natural barrier was quickly transformed into a 400-yard-long ditch, measuring about 20 ft wide by 12 ft deep. Where the stream passed under the small bridge close on the road leading towards the Garvaghy Road, troops stacked sandbags, ensuring that a natural dam would be in place within hours. Behind the newly-dug ditch soldiers hammered innumerable metal posts into the ground in preparation for the construction of razor-wire entanglements, designed to prevent even the most foolhardy protester from gaining access to the prohibited parade route. An almost impregnable wire barrier was erected in front of the security force lines. Alongside this engineers constructed a 15-ft high metal barrier which was placed across the road directly behind the bridge. When in place, it was quickly welded together and further sections of razor wire were secure in place at the top. As the work close to Drumcree continued, other army units were putting more security measures in place in Portadown itself. A temporary checkpoint, complete with massive concrete blocks and wire, sealed off the top end of the Garvaghy Road. Throughout the morning police monitored the flow of traffic and personnel in and out of the area. Nearby, St John's Catholic Church which faces the Drumcree parade route was also blocked off by concrete and wire defences. The wasteland skirting Catholic homes at Garvaghy Park, which runs close to the parade route, was being patrolled by army personnel behind the now predictable wire barriers. There were further security measures in place close to the loyalist Edgarstown estate. A permanent metal screen had been erected along a section of the Corcrain Road preventing clashes between Portadown's rival communities at what, in the past, has been a flashpoint area. Nearby Protestant children were busy building a "Twelfth" bonfire oblivious to the actions of the security forces. By mid-afternoon the security measures were almost complete and sections of Portadown were enshrouded in a ring of steel. The town now sits, tense and apprehensive, awaiting tomorrow's parade, which this year includes Protestant victims of the "Troubles", who are taking part in the Long March from Derry to Drumcree.

-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded Message Follows --- Date sent: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 13:20:17 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Release: CAPS program To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Libertarian Party announcements list) Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- === NEWS FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW, Suite 100 Washington DC 20037 World Wide Web: http://www.lp.org/ === For release: July 1, 1999 === For additional information: George Getz, Press Secretary Phone: (202) 333-0008 Ext. 222 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] === New government computer may decide you're a terrorist next time you fly WASHINGTON, DC -- The FAA wants to let a computer decide if you're a terrorist the next time you travel by plane -- a scheme that could turn flying into a nightmare for thousands of innocent Americans, is probably unconstitutional, and won't make the skies any safer, the Libertarian Party warned today. "Are you ready to fly the paranoid skies -- and let security agents question you, inspect your luggage, and possibly strip-search you if a government computer decides you fit the profile of a dangerous terrorist?" asked Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "Unless we stop it in time, that's what could happen when the government's new Computer Assisted Passenger Screening (CAPS) program goes online." Scheduled to be launched on January 1, 2000, the CAPS program will use a computer program and information in the airlines' computerized flight reservation system to identify possible "terrorists." Although bureaucrats won't reveal the specific suspicious characteristics they're looking for, experts speculate that traveling alone, buying your ticket at the last minute, visiting unapproved foreign countries, or frequent travel could get you tagged as a possible terrorist. Passengers could also be picked at random. If you fit the "terrorist profile," security agents could pull you out of line, search your luggage, interrogate you about your travel plans, tag your luggage with bright orange labels, or escort you onto the plane. In a worst-case scenario, you could be x-rayed, strip-searched, or subjected to a body cavity search. "CAPS will turn air travel into computerized Russian roulette, where a microchip will decide if security agents should detain or search you," said Dasbach. "Last year, 50,892 airline passengers underwent some kind of body search by airport personnel. You could be next -- even if you are 100% innocent of any crime -- and their excuse will be: 'The computer made me do it.' " In anticipation of such computer-directed harassment, the ACLU has already set up a special website to collect information about incidents of mistreatment and discrimination by airport security personnel. Because thousands of innocent Americans could be subjected to such harrowing interrogations and searches, the CAPS program raises serious Constitutional questions, said Dasbach. "The Fourth Amendment guarantees protection against unreasonable search and seizure," he noted. "There's no exception in the Fourth Amendment that says: 'Unless a computer program thinks you're guilty.' Innocent Americans shouldn't be treated like terrorists because a computer chip doesn't like them." Also, the CAPS program almost certainly won't save a single life, because current airport security has been 100% effective in stopping terrorist threats. "Ironically, CAPS is being mandated at the same time the government admits the danger of airline terrorist threats in the United States is all but non-existent," said Dasbach. In fact, over the past 20 years, a total of zero lives have been lost on American soil because of airline terrorism, according to the government -- and airline travel is officially 100 times safer than driving. Despite this, the Federal Aviation Administration has already budgeted $157 million for the project, and is asking Congress for another $100 million. The decision to go ahead with the CAPS program was made by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security following the explosion of TWA flight 800 -- which later turned out to be a mechanical malfunction. "It's typical of the government: In order to solve a problem that doesn't exist, politicians want to hijack your privacy, spend your money, and strip you of your Constitutional rights," said Dasbach. "You don't need a computer to figure out where the real threat to our security comes from. It's the politicians who support this frightening Spy-Before-You-Fly program." On the positive side, the FAA is accepting public comments about the CAPS program until

But the soldiers can do little to halt the activities of the violent underclass from Kosovo and Albania intent on profiting from the chaos.

Many of them have since fled and it is now the ethnic Albanians who are the targets of the thugs.

Here then is today's ZNet Commentary... -- (Mis) Remember When: Whiteness and the Recollection of History By Tim Wise For the writer, there's nothing so frustrating as to sit in front of a keyboard and find oneself at a loss for words. To know there are a million things which need saying, and yet, you can't think of even one. Having experienced this often, I've devised a few strategies by which to allow myself to remain productive. Two which almost never fail, and about which I'm not at all proud, are to turn on the television-preferably to an "all news" channel-or to get in the car and drive. The former, because there is always something so maddening being said that it would inspire even the least loquacious to pour forth social commentary; and the latter, because one sees multiple absurdities from a car window: folks in the throes of road rage, attempting to position their cars at the front of the barely-moving parking lot called traffic; or gas stations charging more for the same gas in the poorest neighborhoods than only two miles away in the wealthiest. Interesting, and all potential inspirations for the social critic. And so last week, devoid of ideas, I began flipping channels; and just as I thought I would never find anything to anger or amuse me enough to write something unique, I stumbled across "Talk Back Live:" a CNN production, in which the host asks questions of guests, interspersed with comments from audience members, who sit in uncomfortable chairs, wearing large buttons with their first names on them, in what appears to be the food court of an Atlanta shopping mall. There I was informed by the host, who was discussing the Kosovar refugee crisis, that "We as Americans don't know how it feels to be driven from our homes, to be refugees, and we shouldn't take that for granted." And that was all it took. After all, when someone explains what "we" have or have not experienced-particularly if that person is white-it's best to pay close attention, and ask just who is this "we" anyway? Who comprises this family to whom all of "us" theoretically belong? Fact is, there are quite a few of "us" who need not be told to take seriously the thought of being uprooted from our homes, nor lectured to about ethnic cleansing. I'm thinking here of that part of "we" that is black, and knows that their very presence here "as Americans" can be explained by an act of forced removal; nor that part of "us" that is indigenous Indian, and has known little else since the white man first arrived; nor that part of "us" that is Chicano, and carries the collective memory of the theft of a large portion of what was Mexico. And for more recent variations on the theme, there's always "urban renewal," which from the 1950's to the 1970's destroyed 20% of all urban black housing to make way for shopping malls, office buildings and parking lots; or "Operation Wetback," launched in 1954, under which nearly four million Latinos-including American citizens-were deported to Mexico; or the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, which assuredly involved removal from one's home on less than a voluntary basis; or Indian "boarding schools," which took in Native children stripped from their homes, so as to "Americanize" them and eliminate attachments to their indigenous cultures. Yes, I think some of "us" know about life as a refugee; what it's like to be uprooted. But the ones who know aren't typically the ones writing copy for CNN, or the history books, and so it goes. If there's a better example of how history is written by the victors; or how the white perspective, flowing as it does from white experience, is usually passed off as the collective experience of all "American families," I, for one, would be surprised. Given which fact, it's fortunate I like surprises, for I was about to receive one. No longer suffering writer's block, but rather, acid reflux, I ran an errand-a short trip to the post office-where I glanced at the commemorative stamp display above the counter. The Malcolm X stamp was nowhere to be seen-it having been promoted less thoroughly than the last Shaun Cassidy album-and in its place was the "1950's
[CTRL] Freedom of Information
-Caveat Lector- WSWS : News Analysis : Europe : Britain Britain's Freedom of Information Act a charter for state secrecy By Jean Shaoul 3 July 1999 Back to screen version The introduction of right to know legislation was one of Prime Minister Tony Blair's key election promises. A Labour government would be open, accountable and transparent, he said. But the long-awaited draft Freedom of Information (FoI) Bill not only fails to fulfil this pledge, it is entirely retrogressive. The FoI bill strips the White Paper, published 18 months ago, of its few progressive features. The new draft bill creates a right of access to records, including personal files, held by public bodies and some private bodies carrying out public functions or contracts, inside a 40-day period. But there is a long list of exemptions (22 to be precise). These include the secret services, international relations, law enforcement, internal policy adviceincluding background or factual documents prepared for central government, the privatised utilities, and the findings of health and safety investigations. In addition, information can be kept secret when its release would prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs, a clause which replaces the substantial harm proviso in the original draft. This formulation is so vague that it will make it far easier for the authorities to argue against disclosure. Such a claim will not be subject to judicial review by the courts. The current code of good practice devised by the Tory government states that information that could remain secret should be placed in the public domain if there is a strong public interest argument for doing so. Thus the new bill undermines existing provisions. The Freedom of Information Bill also means: * The government will be free to invoke commercial confidentiality to preserve its secrets. * Information whose disclosure is not itself harmful can be suppressed if, combined with any other confidential information, it would be prejudicial. * Government may withhold information on the basis of the (assumed) motives for the request, or if it is too costly to provide it. * Even when information is released, ministers may prohibit the recipient from publishing it. The bill also enables ministers to create new exemptions at short notice, by parliamentary order. * An Information Commissioner, with no power to override government refusals to disclose, will supervise the public's rights. Access to information from health and education services will be easier, and even actively encouraged. But in the context of government policies that are allowing such services to wither on the vine, this simply constitutes another means to legitimise the privatisation and/or closure of so-called failing services. It will be impossible to obtain a copy of a health-and-safety report carried out after a fatal accident at work, even if the employer's safety practices were found to be negligent. Food inspection reports will not be placed in the public domain, neither will the evidence submitted to government advisory committees that formulate policy on such matters as genetically modified foods. Corporations lobbied the government and won the right to keep virtually all commercial information out of the public domain. The US introduced a statutory right to access information in 1966, and most western countries followed suit in the 1970s and early 1980s. Britain has lagged far behind the rest of the world. In Australia, most applications have been to see personal files. It has been difficult, if not downright impossible, to access other information, as successive governments have used their ministerial certificates and delaying tactics to block access. In the US, 50-60 percent of requests are from companies seeking information about their competitors. FoI legislation has spawned a huge private industry in government information. Companies have been set up which specialise in selling information or asking for data on behalf of companies or individuals who do not want to ask for it publicly themselves. However, the 1966 law did not give companies advance notice of the release of information or the right to object. Major corporations fought and won a series of high-profile court cases, and the government amended the legislation to provide corporations with reverse FoI rights. This is a vital weapon for corporations in strengthening their hand against consumers and downsizing government. British corporations are already complaining that such reverse FoI provisions are absent from the UK bill. Most commentators have put the British Bill's lack of progressive content down to government obsession with secrecy. But the government is not only shielding its own activities, it is also shielding the activities of big business. Not surprisingly, the bill says not one word about the

I wonder what he means by ... "stage is set" ? Are there any Fourth of July
outdoor stage concerts scheduled for the Baltimore area? Any such concerts
would probably climax with a fireworks show.
If another mass shooting is planned for political purposes by people in the
upper echelons of the intelligence/terrorist establishment, then they might
conceivably choose the Fourth of July as the day, and choose a crowded
fireworks show as the scene of their rampage. Since the article in the
Denver
Post, as well as the article from the Sydney (Australia) Morning Herald,
cited below, has revealed the threat of another massacre in Baltimore on the
Fourth of July, it doesnt take much imagination to fill in the remaining
blank and surmise that their planned scene might well be a crowded fireworks
show, where darkness would veil the view of the assassins, and where the
booming and crackling of the aerial explosions would drown out the sound of
gunshots, especially if silencers are used.
The Waco massacre and the Oklahoma City bombing occurred on a day of pride
for those who cherish their freedom; it was April 19th, the day when
colonial
Americans fired "the shots heard around the world," at Lexington and
Concord.
Waco and Oklahoma City were designed to demoralize, discredit, and demonize
those who would stand up to the tyrannical New World Order, and make
freedom-loving patriots appear to be wanton butchers. The Columbine gunmen
struck on Hitlers birthday so that gun owners would appear to be of the
same
ilk as the gunmen; that is, neo-nazis. So you see, there is a clear pattern
here of calculated MASS psychologybrainwashingwherein they associate
calendar dates with these ghastly atrocities in order to terrorize the
American People to the point where they will approve of the disarmament of
all Americans.
If they can pull off a massacre on the Fourth of July during a fireworks
show, they will succeed in driving the public much closer to the brink of
total civilian disarmament. However, if you and I publicize this threat
that
has scarcely been reported, then maybe the light of public awareness will
cause them to abandon their plan.

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and Tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had Two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and Their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine Were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well That the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to Move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his Headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy Jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the Support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history Books never told you a lot of what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't just fight the British. We were British subjects At that time and we fought our own government! Some of us take these Liberties so much for granted... We shouldn't. So, take a couple of minutes while enjoying your 4th of July Holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price They paid... This was sent to me by a friend and I add, think about whether or not we would have the same chutzpah to stand up to our government today to regain these rights that these men fought and paid a high price or will we just sit back and let them continue to lead us by the nose ring?

[CTRL] [2] Lost Men of American History - The Strange Battle of Lexington
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: Lost Men of American History Stewart H. Holbrook(C)1946 The Macmillan Company New York, NY - CHAPTER III The Strange "Battle of Lexington IN AN inspired moment Ralph Waldo Emerson termed it the Shot Heard Round the World. He could also have called.. it, and with more accuracy, the triumph of Sam Adams's brand of agitating, but that would hardly have been poetry. Old Sam would not have cared, anyway, just so long as the shooting began. . . . So, with mounted scouts well in advance, the British foot column moved quietly and swiftly out of Boston, then marched on through the night along the road to Lexington. In that hamlet, meanwhile, Captain John Parker,. after consultation with Adams and John Hancock, roused his drummer boy, William Diamond, and the two went to the Green. The handsome village common was silent. All was still dark, and the air was damp with morning mist, but the drumhead was taut and true and the lad beat a long alarm roll that soon pounded into the ears of the sleeping militia, the Minutemen. Although they scarcely could have known that the day was to make them, alive or dead, American heroes with few peers, the militia were fairly prompt. They rolled out of their straw ticks, took their muskets or fowling pieces, and congregated at the Buckman tavern, which stood square across the road from the Green. It was yet night, though the faint twilight of early morning was beginning to show when the last 'man appeared. Parker put them into company formation. They stood there a bit. Then Parker dismissed them, some going to their homes, others to the tavern. Yet, a little later Parker assembled them again. Why did he do so? There are times when the narrative of history should be halted briefly to consider, on the spot, so to speak, the actions and also the possible motives of certain of the actors. The so-called Battle of Lexington is one such moment, for it was one of the oddest moments in our history. For well over a century a cloud of doubt has misted this minor yet celebrated action, and little wonder. Captain John Parker, he who called the Minutemen, dismissed, then re-assembled them, was a soldier of considerable rough-and-tumble fighting experience in the French and Indian War. The Green where he stationed his handful of farmers was smack on the road down which the British must pass. Hills and thick woods, ideal for observation, were hard by; or, they could have served for ambush cover. Yet Parker chose the Green-open, level, and so close that his men must almost be brushed by the passing regulars, who were known to be on their way. Why did Parker pick this suicidal spot? It was merely asking for trouble, he and his rustics, all armed, standing by the wayside, inviting insult and molestation. Was Captain Parker acting under orders, possibly orders from the Great Agitator, Sam Adams? Adams, had been hiding in Lexington for days. He was the dynamo that started the revolutionary idea and kept it in motion. He had ably used the blood shed in King Street to rouse sluggards. He had diverted or perverted every possible incident in a successful effort to inflame the colonies. Now, on the 19th of April, 1775, did he feel it was time to draw the British fire again, to make some more Patriot Martyrs? Here on the Green was a scattering of farmers, commanded by an experienced soldier who would be the last person, under ordinary circumstances and acting under his own free will, to oppose a long column of professional troops with a squad of rustics. Yet there he and they stood, looking squarely into the face of death. They must have been powerfully urged, more likely ordered, to take their impossible stand. Any old Indian fighter like Parker would automatically have picked the nearby Woods. On came the British, and Major Pitcairn of the column saw the assembled Minutemen. He ordered them to disperse, calling them rebels, which they were. They started at once to disperse. Pitcairn wished to surround them in order to take away their arms. Killing, even wounding one of them was his last thought. But as the militia were dispersing, Pitcairn saw the flash of a pan from behind a fence. Another flash. Pitcairn's horse was hit, and it reared, throwing the Major to the ground. Now the British began firing--without orders, Pitcairn always maintained--and Americans fell on the Green. The "battle" of Lexington was over, and without further ado the British column moved on toward Concord. Let them move while we consider briefly the history of the history of the affair on Lexington Green. I cannot name another incident which has undergone so many mutations, and they are mutations, moreover, that can be accurately measured. It all began, did this oddly changing history of the Battle of Lexington, in 1824, almost fifty years afterward, when the Honorable Samuel Hoar, in welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette on his visit to Concord, Massachusetts, spoke of the Battle of

Lost Men of American History
Stewart H. Holbrook(C)1946
The Macmillan Company
New York, NY
-
CHAPTER II
The Great Agitator
IT WAS. commonly believed by boys and girls of past generations, and the
belief is still widespread and very deep --for such is the power of
accumulated indoctrination-that the American Revolution was caused chiefly by
a mob of Boston patriots who, for some vague reason having to do with taxes,
boarded a ship in the harbor and tossed into the sea countless chests of tea
belonging to nobody but George the Third of England, a bestial character
without parallel in all history. The king, not liking to have his tea
destroyed, thereupon hired a pack of mercenaries called Hessians, added
millions of his own redcoats--barbarous fellows to a man--" and sent the lot
of them over here to put the poor and honest colonists in their place.
The canon continues along the classic line, and most of us have come out of
our school days with the general impression that the Revolution was a
spontaneous uprising of embattled farmers, a sudden combustion of patriotism
and pitchforks, when every rustic became a Minute Man, every Minute Man a
hero (except notably Benedict Arnold), equal to six Hessian soldiers or ten
British redcoats, and who sprang to arms at the first alarm. ("If they mean
to have a war," said Captain John Parker, "then let it begin here." ) Not
only did they fairly leap for their muskets, but they continued to fight day
and night until the glorious Republic was an accomplished fact.
This pleasant imbecility, which I have enjoyed as much as the next man, has
been kept alive through a century and a half by poets, by historians,'
editorial writers, artists, and orators, much to the detriment of the United
States of America. It is the chief reason why our country has never yet gone
prepared into a war. And it was possible to impose the imbecility on us
because we Americans, as perhaps no other people on earth, much prefer
romantic fiction to fact.
Actually, the first certainty about the Revolution is that it was carefully
planned by a few shrewd men and carried out by homemade and talented and
ruthless agitators, whom historians have seen fit to call statesmen, and by
military leaders of little experience but of great adaptability. The second
certainty is that the great, mass of American colonists were either passive
to the revolt, or actively opposed to it. John Adams, no man for
overstatement, estimated that throughout the war not more than one-third of
the colonists were heart-and-soul in the Revolution; and this number was
unquestionably much smaller previous to the Declaration. Hence, our glorious
revolt in the cause of pure Liberty was in reality a struggle, on the part of
a few able and active minds, to impose an idea on the mass of the people and
to make them fight and if necessary die for it; and finally to make Great
Britain recognize it as fact. This took, as they say, some doing.
The staging of "popular" revolts since the times of ancient Greece has
always been accomplished by the use of propaganda in word and deed, sometimes
known in the trade as "agitating." The American colonies were fortunate in
having a number, of agitators fit to compare with the best in world history,
and the foremost of these Americans was Samuel Adams, a man who has been
ignored or cavalierly treated by too many writers. The reason for this
treatment, I suspect, probably stems from the typical American desire to have
America's hereos unadulterated, to ignore such realistic methods as Adams
propounded and used. This Adams, a poor relation of John and John Quincy and
the least known of the Historical Adamses, was the one who stopped at
nothing. Lies, subterfuge, misrepresentation of all sorts, and violation of
confidences were his common practice in anything dealing with the Crown, or
with Tories, or with anybody be said was a Tory. He would as lief slug,
figuratively of course, a man from behind as in front. No fencer saw and took
advantage of an opening, a dropped guard, more quickly. And when he thought
it necessary, Samuel Adams did not stop short of cold-blooded arrangements
for producing thoroughly dead Patriot Martyrs, a useful commodity in any
agitation program.
Son of a Boston family dating from Genesis, graduate of Harvard, where he
discovered that theology bored him,
Samuel Adams failed as a counting-room clerk, then ran his father's
prosperous brewing business into bankruptcy. He dabbled too much in politics
to run a business. With the help of his many friends in Boston's political
clubs he was elected to the General Court, as Massachusetts Bay Colony termed
its legislature; and then was made tax collector of the city, a job he
permitted to get out of hand to the amount of five thousand pounds and which
brought him no end of embarrassment. Meanwhile, however, he absorbed many
ideas of government from local politicians, especially from the tragic and

A sample. Om K - INTR0DUCTION "Discovered Alive in India: Hitler's Guru!" The young German sat on the threadbare sofa listening to the words of the old woman before him. Through windows opening onto a balcony, shafts of dust-flecked sunlight shone into the darkened space of her humble, spartanly furnished room. Outside the strange, heady tumult of India resounded in the full glare of the midday heat. All around he could hear the street sounds and raucous, bustling squalor of this back alley in Delhi. Occasionally, her narrative was interrupted by the songs of the exotic birds she kept in her room and the young man was distracted by the sudden darting movement of the many cats, her inseparable companions, that lay at her feet or dozed out on the balcony in the warm air. His attention fixed on the worn and crinkled face of the old woman as she carefully chose her words to tell the story of her life. She was dressed in the fashion of Indian women, wearing a loose white sari and a thin cotton shift over her shoulders. Soft gray hair framed her high forehead and was gathered behind her ears. While her brow was barely lined, her cheeks, chin, and neck blurred in a mass of furrows and wrinkles. Her lips were thin, and her mouth looked twisted, pointing downward at the right side. But it was her eyes that held him. Her eyes burned with a strange luminous quality, the light of inner vision and missionary zeal. But he also noticed that the left eye stared with a pained expression, while the right appeared tired and liquid, and he remembered with a start that she was now almost blind with cataracts. The old woman's name was Savitri Devi and the young man had traveled all the way from Frankfurt to find her in this small bare room in old India and to hear in her own words the story of her sacred mission for Hitler and Nazism. This elderly and infirm prophetess of Aryan revival, a philosopher of Hitler's cosmic purpose and Nazi pilgrim in the ruins of the German Reich at the end of the Second World War, had lived for years in poverty and obscurity in Calcutta and Delhi. Now in November :1978, at the end of a long life devoted to the Aryan cause, she had found a new publisher. In late 1982 Ernst Zundel, the founder-proprietor of the neo-Nazi Samisdat Publishers in Toronto, publicized the availability of a set of five two-hour cassettes of live interviews with Savitri Devi and a brandnew edition of her out-of-print classic The Lightning and the Sun (1958). The notice was mailed worldwide on card flyers and it is worth quoting in its breathless entirety: THE HITLER CULT REVEALED. Discovered alive in India: Hitler's guru! For serious students of the occult: You can now purchase the complete set of tape cassette recorded, live interviews with Hitler guru Savitri Devi at her home in India. Hear in her own words the narration of a prophetic pilgrimage along the edge of the cosmic abyss. Watch the clouds of evil scatter under the lightning of Cosmic Justice and the sun of Cosmic Truth. Read her shocking and most recently published manuscript, "The Lightning and the Sun," which exposes the tangled roots of Nazism for all to see. Discover through her the secret Nazi pyramid connection with Pharaoh Akhnaton and the ancient cult of the sun. Learn the real significance of Genghis Khan's evil role in history, his incredible significance in the present. Discover the hidden springs of Hitler's manic will to power, his mystical bond with the dark forces of time and destiny. Pursue the outlines of evil in its awesome cosmic context. Decipher now the encoded workings of the Nazi mind. Perceive how Hitler saw the workings of the universe through: Human sacrifice. Vegetarianism. Aryanism. The cyclic view of history. The children of violence. The will to survive and to conquer. The seat of truth. Gods on earth. Kalki, the avenger. Were ancient sanskrit laws of the universe compiled in the Bhagavad Gita the secret source of Nazi strength? The amazing answers to these riddles are now at hand. Read them in "The Lightning and the Sun," Hitler guru Savitri Devi's huge, illustrated 448 page illumination of occult Nazi wisdom and prophecy.[1] The Samisdat publicity was a resounding finale to a long and eventful life, begun early in the century in the beautiful, old walled city of Lyons. When I first read these lines on the card flyer, I knew very little of Savitri Devi. But Samisdat Publishers was known to me as a far-right press owned by Ernst Zundel, notorious for the publication in 1974 Of the first English-language translation of The Auschwitz Lie, a short book that denied the very fact of the Holocaust. However, the Samisdat catalogue mingled efforts to glorify the Third

Om K - The new anthropogeny of the gifted white European races was complete by 1819, when Friedrich Schlegel applied the term Aryan to this as yet anonymous Indic-Nordic master race. The word had been derived from Herodotus's Arioi (an early name for the Medes and Persians) and recently used by French and German authors to designate these ancient peoples. However, Schlegel's new usage caught on as he linked the root Ari with Ehre, the German word for honor. Again, he was philologically quite correct because one also finds the same root with a similar meaning in the Slav and Celtic languages. However, the anthropological implications of the new word for the ancestral European race were much more exciting and flattering: as Aryans, the Germans and their ancient Indian ancestors were the people of honor, the aristocracy of the various races of mankind. It should be noted that Friedrich Schlegel was neither an extreme German nationalist nor an anti-Semite. He campaigned for the emancipation of the Jews in Germany and married the daughter of the distinguished Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. Nevertheless, his ideas in due course stimulated the boldest ideas about Aryan supremacy among German, French, and English scholars. Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century famous and obscure German philosophers and philologists alike worked tirelessly to develop and refine the Aryan myth. Many more speculations were supplied by Julius von Klaproth (who coined the term Indo-Germanic), Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Jacob Grimm, and Franz Bopp. In 1820 the geographer Karl Ritter described the Indian armies breaking through to the West across the Caucasus. As the originator of the famous dictionary, Grimm exercised a lasting influence on literary and historical textbooks. He described the arrival of the Greeks, Romans, Celts, and Germans in Europe in successive waves of immigration from Asia. However, the Aryans were not yet set against the Jews in these accounts. The outlines of the Aryan- Semitic dualism first became apparent in 1845, when Christian Lassen (1800-1876), the pupil and protege of the Schlegel brothers, contrasted the Semites unfavorably with the Indo-Germans as unharmonious, egotistical, and exclusive. His emphasis on biology, the triumph of the strongest, the youthful and creative nature of the most recent species, and the superiority of the whites provided the basic ingredients of all subsequent thinking about the master race. Such notions were soon combined with a virulent anti-Semitism by the famous composer and author Richard Wagner (1813-1883), who enjoyed a fervent following in Germany and Austria.[8] Through the lectures and books of the great philologist Max Muller (1823-1900) in Oxford and Ernest Renan (1823-1892) in France, the Aryan myth had become established dogma throughout European learned society by about 1860. From this time on most educated Europeans came to know that the European nations were of the Aryan race, which had come from the high plateaus of Asia. The common ancestors of the Indians, Persians, Greeks, Italians, Slavs, Germans, and Celts had dwelt in this region before migrating across Asia and Europe to found their respective ethnic groups, which in due course became the nations known to ancient and medieval history. The idea that the Europeans had an origin distinct from the Jews was also implicit and indeed survived any ensuing revisions of the Aryans' geographical origins. Linguistics, anthropology, and biology had combined with the cultural and political achievements of the European powers to underwrite their sense of confidence as world leaders. They were all Aryans and the Aryans were the superior race, the highest form of humanity. pp.31-32 - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations.

Observe: Newsgroups: rec.aviation.student Subject: incident overheard with police helo Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 10:06:31 -0700 Yesterday while flying to an uncontrolled airport 20 miles from me I overheard an interesting exchange on the radio. 10 miles out I ask for a traffic advisory and hear that a state police helicopter is downwind for landing. A short time later he is on base then final. The next transmission is an elderly voice announcing he is taking off the active runway and taxis into position. Immediately the police helo announces a go-around and screams at the offending airplane. "Get off the runway!" repeatedly, with a sheepish response , "Okay". The police helo then told the aircraft to taxi back to the runup area and that they would like to "talk to him". The a/c pilot when asked then stated he didn't have his volume knob turned up. It is a busy airport and there was a lot of activity there. Needless to say the airspace was dead silent for awhile. That was the wrong helo to have a runway incursion with. I know I never want to get "pimp-slapped" like that on the airways. I don't know what happened to the pilot but I'm sure he got an earful. I'd be interested in hearing about similiar experiences. Not that I'm gender biased but I have seen many elderly pilots who could barely climb the wing to check their tanks and you wonder about the safety factor there. /cite rec.aviation.student is generally *not* a political group. This post, though, has racked up sixteen follow-ups, which is remarkable, given the nature of the group. A lot of them address things actually topical to the group, but some of them are (gingerly) pointing out the more pressing political message here: the nature of today's cops. What's happening here might be a bit opaque to some people not interested in aviation or knowledgable of these operations. Briefly put: these cops have about as much authority to order this person to taxi and hold for a "talk" as The Lying Bastard does at holding forth on the sanctity of marriage, which is to say: absolutely none at all. ...except for one thing: everyone with a brain in their head knows just how difficult life can be at the hands of a cop when he or she puts a mind to it. The possibility has already been observed that they could mount a short, sharp surveillance op, watch out for a lane-change without a signal or something equally innocuous, and then crank-up the entire machine at their pleasure. Yeah, I'm an "extremist": I maintain that only *fools* believe in cops, anymore at all. Every one of them should be taken with extreme suspicion until their concerns for everything that a cop *should* be are made clear beyond the least possible doubt of all the things that far too many cops *are*, today. That might invite objection from that vanishing species - the cop who is the "juridical man", in Hannah Arendt's reference to officials who can think through ethics on their own without resort to someone else's orders - but that's just too bad. If that sort is offended by the suspicion, then I would suggest that they find a line of work that: A) does not call for them to enforce incipient totalitarianism, and; B) sets them at great distance from the sort which we all know exists - the cop who loves his job, and does it the way Robert McNamara Co. prosecuted the Vietnam war, or worse.

Paulson says that in fact, the press is more ethical and less biased than ever. 07/02/99- Updated 03:53 PM ET Poll: Less support for freedom of the press By Tony Mauro, USA TODAY ARLINGTON, Va. - On the eve of the Fourth of July weekend, a new nationwide opinion poll shows a sharp erosion of public support for press freedom and an unchanged level of enthusiasm for outlawing desecration of the American flag. The poll, released Friday by the Freedom Forum, a pro-First Amendment foundation, indicates that 53% of respondents think the press has too much freedom in this country, up from 38% in 1997. Seventy-four percent of respondents think people should not be allowed to burn the American flag, but only 51% think the Constitution should be amended to prohibit it, up 2 percentage points from 1997. The telephone poll of 1,001 adults in February and March has a sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points. According to the survey, nearly two-thirds of the public thinks the press should not be allowed to probe the private lives of public officials. And shrinking numbers of respondents think the news media should be allowed to endorse political candidates, report government secrets or use hidden cameras. "Freedom of the press has been synonymous in the public's mind for the last two years with Monica and Bill and Princess Di and Marv Albert," says Ken Paulson of the Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center. "It's time for the best qualities of American journalism to come to the fore." Paulson says that in fact, the press is more ethical and less biased than ever. "There's a great disconnect here." Media lawyer Bruce Sanford, author of Don't Shoot the Messenger, a new book on public attitudes toward the media, says, "The public is so angry at the media these days that we are beginning to blind ourselves to the biggest threat, which is not the media but government regulation." The news media have brought much of the criticism on themselves, conservative columnist Armstrong Williams says. "The face of American journalism has changed from that of a stony-faced, dispassionate anchor to two sides screaming at each other." He said the press has lost its image as a champion of the people. The poll found a few bright spots for the media, however. The percentage of those who think that Internet speech enjoys the same protection as the printed press went up from 56% two years ago to 64%. Support for broadcast coverage of courts including the Supreme Court also rose, compared with 1997. On religious freedom, also guaranteed by the First Amendment, nearly two-thirds of respondents said public school teachers should be allowed to lead prayers in school. Many people polled showed little knowledge about First Amendment freedoms. Forty-nine percent could not name any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Once reminded that it protects freedom of the press, speech, religion, assembly and petition, two-thirds of respondents said the First Amendment does not go too far. "A poll like this shows the worst of the problems of the First Amendment," said Carole Shields of the liberal organization People for the American Way. "But when people really consider these issues, we come out OK." = Kaddish, Kaddish, Kaddish, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] The Military's Guinea Pigs by Joseph Farah
-Caveat Lector- The Military's Guinea Pigs by Joseph Farah There was a more innocent time in this country when U.S. soldiers rolled up their sleeves when they were told and took their medicine -- in the form of all kinds of vaccines for who-knows-what. Today, some 240 military service personnel are refusing to be inoculated with the anthrax vaccine -- with good reason. Approximately 100,000 Persian Gulf War veterans have become sick with a still-unexplained syndrome many suspect has to do with vaccines they were given and/or through possible exposure to chemical or biological weapons. Since the Pentagon has been less than forthcoming in providing answers to the victims and their families, it's more than understandable that there would be a little suspicion about another vaccine of limited effectiveness. Furthermore, this administration has gone out of its way to do anything and everything it can to destroy the military its commander in chief once candidly admitted he "loathed." But there's a lot more to this picture -- a lot more. It turns out the company with the sole contract for manufacturing the anthrax vaccine is in deep financial trouble -- this after being provided the taxpayer support to renovate its facility and after agreeing to a $29 million contract with the Defense Department. Now Bioport Corp. says it can't meet its commitment to produce the vaccine for $3.50 a dose; instead, it will need to be paid more like $10 a dose. But it gets worse. Despite publicly minimizing the vaccine's risks, the military is taking a different posture in protecting Bioport from any liability. Last September, Army Secretary Louis Caldera agreed to accept the burden of potential claims made against the vaccine manufacturer by service members, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported this week. In doing so, he wrote that the vaccine "involves unusually hazardous risks associated with the potential for adverse reactions in some recipients and the possibility that the desired immunological effect will not be obtained by all recipients." In the memo, Caldera also acknowledged just what those refusing to accept the vaccine have been saying all along -- that there is little assurance it will work against the forms of biological warfare likely to be employed by enemies in the field. The Defense Department is spinning this little development in Clintonesque fashion, downplaying the agreement to take Bioport off the hook for any defects in the vaccine. "It's legalese," explains Army Col. Dick Bridges, a senior Defense Department mouthpiece. "It's like the San Diego Union-Tribune buying libel insurance. You don't expect to libel anyone, but you can't say it's never going to happen." Not quite a perfect analogy. Bioport is not buying insurance against liability claims. It is being provided broad-brush protection against them at taxpayer expense. That raises the question of why. Who's behind Bioport? Why is the company getting this kind of unusual protection and favored treatment from the Pentagon? It turns out the major force behind the company is Fuad El-Hibri, a German citizen of Lebanese descent. How does a company whose principal is a foreign national win a contract to produce such a militarily sensitive product? Here's the answer: Just bring into your company Admiral William J. Crowe, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and give him -- that's right, give him -- 22.5 percent ownership. Crowe invested not one penny of his own money, according to his spokesman. But it's amazing how much attention you can get at the Pentagon with such a resume on your executive team. There's not a doubt in my mind it was well worth the 22.5 percent share of the company to snag Crowe. Doesn't this smack of insider wheeling and dealing? Bioport has had every advantage imaginable handed to it -- from taxpayer subsidized renovations of its plant to product liability underwritten 100 percent by the federal government. And who benefits from it? A former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And even with all those advantages, Bioport still has its hand out, threatening bankruptcy if it doesn't get three times its current price for the product. This is a shady deal. And I don't blame the 240 service personnel who have refused to be guinea pigs in this scam. Soldiers are being asked to risk their health for a vaccine of questionable effectiveness and safety. Why? Is it for political reasons? Is it for reasons of greed? Is it some morbid desire to experiment with people's lives? Or is it simply one more of this administration's strategies to destroy the morale and spirit of the U.S. military?

-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded Message Follows --- Date sent: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 18:47:43 -0700 From: David Gould [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Fluoride Post Number 91: Fluoride; another view Of all of the health issues facing Americans, this is probably one of the most inane. It is nearly beyond my comprehension that people do not understand what it means when a so-called government has the power to decide if they should be medicinally treated, or not. For those in the fight to keep the governments hands off of herbs and natural treatments, welcome to reality. If the government can mandate fluoridated water, you have already lost the fight, and it is simply a matter of time until they decide how best to acclimate the majority into the view that it is being done for your own good. But there is much more to this story than simply the issue of whether the government has the right to decide if you are to be treated (think of everything else that implies!). There is also the issue of fluoride itself, and this is not a pretty story. For those who are confused, and actually believe that there has ever been any debate about how safe OR effective fluoride is, welcome to reality. What you are about to read has been known and understood by those whose agenda it is to weaken America from the very first. The problem is that most Americans have no clue as to just how twisted, perverted and absolutely evil the men to whom they have entrusted their nation are.

They cannot dialogue objectively because they have different realities. They see things differently, and have different criteria in determining validity. Our lives are enriched by artists for whom "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." But our lives are often endangered when scientific truth is in the eye of the beholder." (Dr. Schatz, discoverer of streptomycin) Only now are the insidious facts about Sarin (nerve gas) surfacing as more comes out about the "Gulf War Syndrome" and the Tokyo subway incident. It appears that with both incidents, the people exposed to Sarin are suffering with variety of chronic adverse health and lingering neurotoxic effects such as memory loss., Sarin is the most potent neurotoxic substance known. Sarin is also a fluorinated organophosphate similar to, but more toxic to humans than the insecticide, Parathion. Sarin is the prime example of toxicokinetics of the fluoride ion, when the fluoride ion is combined with relatively benign substances, it often creates a powerful toxicant (toxic synergism). With Sarin, the fluoride ion is like an arming mechanism for the relatively benign organophosphate which transforms it into a compound with one hell-of-a-wallop. Acute exposure to Sarin, a drop, about the size of a grain of sand, causes spasms (tetany), heart palpitations (cardiac arrhythmia), many other neurological disorders, and possibly, collapse of the nervous system and death. Production of acetylcholine, the most important chemical for nervous system function is disrupted. Acetylcholine is responsible for carrying all neuro-transmissions in the brain and throughout the nervous system of the body. Many animal studies of fluorinated organophosphates also suggest a delayed neurotoxic reaction similar to those experiences by those people exposed to Sarin. With water fluoridation, the public is exposed to a variety of fluorides, and aside from the fluoride ion, some of those fluorides are neurotoxic. Many scientists discount the fluoride ion as being neurotoxic; however, the weight of scientific evidence strongly indicates that the fluoride ion is, if nothing else, the perpetrator. This is evidenced by the variety of highly effective fluorinated drugs that are used to treat mental disorders, and the fluoride ion's role in the devastating effectiveness of Sarin as a chemical nerve agent., Many psychoactive drugs are fluorinated. Two of the most noted are Rohypnol (the infamous date-rape drug, "Roofies") and Prozac. Rohypnol is fluorinated Valium, which is about 20-30 times more potent than Valium alone. Essentially, these drugs effect enzyme functions in certain areas of the brain to achieve the desired effect. The primary ingredients of most psychoactive drugs suppress enzyme production, and the fluoride ion is also an enzyme inhibitor. The one particular side effect common to almost all fluorinated drugs which is mentioned in the Physician's Desk Reference is memory loss. These drugs include
[CTRL] SOON: The Phoenix no longer endangered....
-Caveat Lector- Fellow Lollards: The following story is about the bald eagle being removed from the endagered species list. What is remarkable about the article, may be found within Clinton's few but purposely chosen words. BEGIN CLINTON QUOTE: ``It's hard to think of a better way to celebrate the birth of a nation than to celebrate the rebirth of our national symbol,'' the president said on the eve of the Independence Day weekend. ``The return of the bald eagle is a fitting cap to a century of environmental stewardship.'' END QUOTE The entire story is below, but make note of Clinton's comments. The birth of the nation, is the birth of Bacon's New Atlantis. The REbirth of this nation's symbol (bald eagle = PHOENIX), is Clinton's special little way of speaking the Brotherhood's language-- regarding the Phoenix rising from the ashes. His next comment mentioned that this event (the rebirth of the Phoenix symbolized by the rebirth of the bald eagle), was "a fitting cap" to a century of earth stewardship. By now, we should already know, that through the space shuttle program, N.A.S.A. has been used to give us a message regarding the Brotherhood's Agenda: 1) Columbia 2) Enterprise 3) Endeavor 4) Discovery 5) Atlantis 6) Challenger "A ColumbiaN Enterprise to Endeavor for the Discovery of Atlantis; all ChallengerS will be destroyed." With that in mind, it is notable that Clinton's remarks were made in the presence of a captive, and tamed "Challenger". Velly Interestingk Tsadowq x Bald Eagle Soon Off Endangered List .c The Associated Press By LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON WASHINGTON (AP) - The American bald eagle, the living symbol of the nation since 1782, is back from the brink of extinction and can now be removed from the endangered species list, President Clinton said today. Celebrating a three-decade struggle to protect the bald eagle against pesticides and encroachments on its habitat, Clinton announced a process that is expected to remove the majestic bird from the list by July 2000. ``It's hard to think of a better way to celebrate the birth of a nation than to celebrate the rebirth of our national symbol,'' the president said on the eve of the Independence Day weekend. ``The return of the bald eagle is a fitting cap to a century of environmental stewardship.'' The president was joined on a flag-backed platform on the South Lawn of the White House by a 10-year-old bald eagle named Challenger, who flapped his long brown wings and cocked his snowcapped head. Challenger was blown from a nest in the wild as an eaglet and experienced too much human contact at a young age to be able to survive in the wild. The bird screeched during the president's remarks. ``Believe it or not,'' Clinton said, ``Ben Franklin wanted our national symbol to be a turkey. The press would be having a field day with that to the present day, wouldn't they?'' With the banning of the pesticide DDT in 1972 and the passage of the Endangered Species Act a year later, the bald eagle began making a dramatic recovery. Today, there are 5,800 breeding pairs. Four years ago, with recovery well under way, the eagle was upgraded from endangered to threatened. Removing the bald eagle from the government's endangered list will not expose it to new dangers and its status will be closely monitored. The eagle will continue to be protected, from hunting or capture by two laws: the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits the taking, killing, possession, transportation and importation of migratory birds, and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which bans the taking, possession, transportation, export and import of a bald or golden eagle, alive or dead. ``Taking'' is defined as shooting, poisoning, molesting or harming the bird. When the Continental Congress in 1782 placed the bald eagle in the center of the Great Seal of the United States, an olive branch in one claw and 13 eagles in the other, there were as many as a half-million eagles in the skies of North America. By 1963, however, only 417 breeding pairs remained in the lower 48 states as a result of hunting, loss of prey and habitat and the widespread use of the DDT. ``Our majestic eagle was slipping toward extinction,'' the president said. ``The eagle struggled barely to survive.'' The nation declared, Clinton said, ``that extinction is not an option - not for the eagle, not for the other creatures put here by God.'' Clinton also used the ceremony to prod Congress to approve his Lands Legacy initiative to provide permanent financing of at least $1 billion a year to protect wildlife habitat, farms, urban parks and natural treasures across America.

Wouldn't that be great!
Sadly, it's probably a scenario more akin to "Divine"
intervention being our only salvation:
In what ever form this divine intervention might take (i.e., HE,
She, They, etc.), I am afraid the situation is hopeless without a
legitimate form of it.
As Norio Hyakawa so aptly puts it, our ONLY option at this late
date (i.e., this point in time being WAY, WAY PAST any realistic
hope of being able to stop "them"), is to make ourselves right
with our makers, whom ever or whatever you have chosen that to
be. . .and if you haven't chosen, you had better DO IT FAST.
You see, without this HOPE of superhuman intervention, there is
only the inevitable horror of what WILL soon be upon us ALL (even
Klinton...which, btw, DOES comfort me a tad:)
I have " faith" that a "Divine" reality exists (i.e., hope,
albeit not a lot). I just pray that HE/They didn't just set us
into existence, meaning well at the time, and then SPLIT to more
promising projects!
On the other hand, could you really blame Them if They had, i.e.,
decided AGAINST "Project Humanity" after They saw the way we
could allow each other to suffer?
Well, . . .I gotta tell ya that knowing INTIMATELY how we are,
i.e., being one of us myself and all, I COULD NOT BLAME "THEM" IN
THE SLIGHTEST WAY for choosing to abort the project, other than
maybe for not putting us out of our misery long ago, like after
They lost faith in our _Humanity_, but BEFORE They departed.
After all, They HAD TO REALIZE that leaving us to our own doing,
knowing that our design was flawed, would lead to massive torment
and suffering?
"They" had to know that the way They had "messed us all up" would
most certainly be our end. Hell, it was probably this rather
MONUMENTAL SCREW UP of somehow allowing us to possess a trait so
very counter productive to our very existence, this extremely
undesirable flaw inherent to our very genetic essence, that was
the reason they seemingly abandoned the project in the first
place.
An advanced "Creator" such as "They" HAD TO HAVE BEEN, would have
HAD TO HAVE KNOWN that we had next to zero chance at long term
survival and eventual integration into any interplanetary
federation.
I am, of course, referring to that "human flaw" in us that can
allow the NEEDLESS mass suffering of our fellow species, even
after KNOWING in our hearts, as well as logically, that such
greedy and idiotic behavior would almost surely eventually lead
to our species total extinction.
Certainly They HAD to have seen this!
They must have been with us long enough ("Garden of Eden?") to
have seen that this behavioral flaw in our make-up was SO STRONG
that even after we OURSELVES learned that such primitive self
survival instincts would destroy us, we STILL could not stop
hurting each other.
They had to know that we would continue anyway, knowing full well
that the vast majority of Their creation would suffer
horrendously along the way to our end. And, that even though at
some later more advanced technological stage of our existence
when it would have been long known by us that this wholesale mass
suffering by way of each other was TOTALLY AND UTTERLY NEEDLESS,
that we would STILL continue with it, right up to our end.
They had to know that even when we were advanced enough to
understand that such selfish behavior is fine for an individual's
survival, but that as far as long term survival of THE SPECIES is
concerned, survival in which eventual emergence into a universe
TEEMING with life would require team work and love for each other
(if for no other reason than to demonstrate to those voting on
our incumbency into such an interplanetary society would vote to
the affirmative), that even then, we would be incapable of
modifying this behavior. . .NOT EVEN IF AND WHEN IT WOULD
INEVITABLY THREATEN OUR OWN TOTAL EXTINCTION (again, if not by
our own doing, then by some higher group determining that we can
not be trusted with membership into the "higher heavens").
Our glorious and loving Creators had to have seen that even
though They were successful in making us HIGHLY intelligent and
sentient, i.e., clearly able to understand all this, that They
made this "human flaw" of ours both SO STRONG and SO LONG LIVED,
that we would not ourselves EVER be able to temper or stop this
behavior, even though we knew that in continuing it "not only
will every one else die, but 'ME, MYSELF, and I' will TOO!"
They had to have seen that in giving us this trait, this trait

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: UFOTruth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Saturday, 3 July 1999 2:18 Subject: Crop Circle "maker" detected UFOTruth - http://UFOTruth.listbot.com STRANGE LIGHT SAID TO CREATE CROP CIRCLES IN HOLLAND A new report by noted journalist and investigator Linda Moulton Howe says that a strange pink-purple light, observed by a young man in Holland, may have been directly responsible for the formation of two crop circles found near the man's home. Howe's information came from Nancy Talbott, research associate of Dr. W.C. Levengood, a world leader in the scientific analysis of crop circles. In an exclusive interview (summarized here with permission), Talbott told Howe that the unusual events occurred just after midnight on June 7 in the farming community of Hoeven in southern Holland. A 19-year old man named Robert awoke at 12:15 am with the feeling that he must go to the window. From there, he reportedly witnessed a "small, misty, pinkish-purple light -- not a sphere, more football shaped -- and a little bit smaller than a football" moving above a huge field of grain. Talbott said that she knows Robert and his family, and knows that Robert has had a history of seemingly psychic premonitions of strange phenomena. Robert watched as the light moved across the field, about 10 or 12 feet off the ground. When it reached a spot about 50 meters behind his house, it stopped and spread out, becoming a thin disc perhaps 30 feet in diameter. Then he saw what appeared to be electrical discharges coming from beneath the pink-purple disc of light. This lasted about 7 to 10 seconds, and then the light dissipated and disappeared. Talbott says Robert immediately threw on some clothes and ran into the field, where he found a 30-foot-diameter crop circle at the exact spot. Another circle about 10 feet in diameter was close by. Neither one had been in the field a few hours earlier. Robert spent some moments in the circle and then went to wake his family. Talbott says they were amazed not only by the circles but also by the fact that Robert felt a deep sense of joy and peace following these events. Family members told Talbott that Robert had experienced illness and upset after several previous unusual events. "I know this boy pretty well. I know his family pretty well. These are very straight, middleclass Dutch hard-working people. There is nothing flamboyant, there is nothing foolish about these people at all," Talbott told Howe. "And they have questioned and questioned all this up until fairly recently. And now they have just accepted that it's happening and are doing their best to cope with whatever it means."

[CTRL] Drug Economy controls U.S. now (repost)
-Caveat Lector- From: www.copvcia.com Don't Blink! All Promises Broken - Volume II Hearings Held Without Notice - Behind Closed Doors You Might Miss What's Next by Michael C. Ruppert Posted June 29, 1999 - Copyright 1999 From The Wilderness, Michael C. Ruppert. All Rights Reserved On May 25, just four days after we published our last issue, under the totally misleading heading of "CIA and Drugs in Los Angeles" the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) held a closed door hearing. It took us until June 22 to determine that the Committee heard testimony that day from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Bromwich, who had not appeared before the Committee since the release of his report last year. And it also heard from current CIA Inspector General Britt Snider, who discussed Volume II of retired CIA IG Fred Hitz's report on the whole Contra war -- not Los Angeles. Los Angeles was Volume I. That's right -- They have had the hearing on Volume II. They did it in secret. The press did not cover it. And it remains unclear, at this moment, as to whether HPSCI's final report will even be declassified or made available to the public in any form at all. This is not only a breach of every promise made to us in 1996 by both Houses; it is, in my opinion, a complete breach of trust between the government and the people. In a June 22 conversation with HPSCI Deputy Staff Director, Tim Sample, I was told that the Committee "would like to wrap this up this summer." I was also told that the protocol for closing the investigation out had not been finalized. It is "not known" whether there will be another hearing. It is "not known" whether or if the Committee's final report will be declassified or ever released. It is "not known" if any additional witnesses will be called. I and retired DEA Agent Cele Castillo and presumably the other major figures in the investigation have all received letters asking us to submit whatever other evidence "we are aware of" before the Committee closes its work. This is a sign of true desperation as the Republican controlled Committee must absolutely close the issue -- to protect George W. Bush -- before the 2000 Presidential campaign begins in earnest in October. It must also protect the biggest secret of all from the American people: The entire economy, and the entire political system itself, is currently hooked and dependent upon - drug money. I have been saying for years that you could show a video of George Bush ordering drug runs, CIA agents laundering money and flying airplanes full of drugs and no one in power would do anything about it. They would not be able to. In this issue I will tell you, and the House, about something almost as damning -- a partially authenticated letter, written on CIA letterhead and stamped "Top Secret", ostensibly written and signed by CIA Director William J. Casey in late 1986, that admits to direct participation in the drug trade [SEE STORY THIS ISSUE]. I have been aware of the existence of this letter for approximately five months. I have had it read to me in its entirety. It was not until I was given this last chance by HPSCI to present "all of the information of which you are aware on the allegations" that I was able to obtain an "On the Record" statement about the letter from Attorney Ray Kohlman. The letter will be admitted into evidence in a new trial motion for former Green Beret William Tyree in the near future. When that happens, From The Wilderness will publish the letter, both on the Internet and in the newsletter. Now that the House has indicated its intent to close the matter for good and all it is time to bring the letter forward -- for good and all. I will also see to it that the letter is widely distributed enough so that any of the major news organizations will be able to follow up on it. The information in this issue is enough for the House Intelligence Committee to go to the CIA and compel it to confirm or deny the letter's authenticity. Reading The Right Map If nothing happens with further hearings, or with the letter, I will tell you in advance exactly why. Contributing Editor Catherine Austin Fitts, who was a Managing Director at Dillon Read before becoming Assistant Secretary of Housing under George Bush and who holds an MBA from Wharton makes things very simple. She points out that the four largest states for the importation of drugs are New York, Florida, Texas and California. She then points out that the top four money laundering states in the U.S. (good for between 100 and 260 billion per year) are New York, Florida, Texas and California. No surprise there.

But the long-awaited draft Freedom of Information (FoI) Bill not only fails to fulfil this pledge, it is entirely retrogressive. The FoI bill strips the White Paper, published 18 months ago, of its few progressive features. Isn't it amazing? And the whole thing is happening here as well. We have Representative Bliley of Virginia who has managed to rush through his bill l790 and it is also senate bill 880. I don't know if it's passed the senate yet, but it probably has, and of course old Republican-issues-supporter Bill Clinton will sign it into law, and it not only messes with the public's right to know, but gives jail time to those responsible for letting them find out.

I¹ll now put down some information that that is so bad that if you are not sick already you may be sick after ready this. Incidentally I¹m not sick myself although some may question that statement. I know that in the past I have said that the contrails are made by jets that have a substance in their fuel that is making us sick. That may be still partially true. I then said that the government is spraying us with some substance that will immunize us against any attack that may come from terrorist who may try to kill us with Antharax. That may be true. I don¹t know what is really happening but that hasn¹t stopped me from saying what may be happening in the past.

From: S W Subject: U.S. Military Conducting TOXIC Biological-Chemical Warfare Against Civilians U.S. feds well on their way to reducing population to further New World Order goals! Dear Citizens, Patriots, and Veterans: For the past 3 weeks I have been receiving Þrst hand reports of U.S. Military jets spraying toxic substances over populated urban areas testing the effectiveness of their biological and chemical warfare protective suits and monitoring equipment. The substances are SUPPOSEDLY ³harmless² simulants which have extremely toxic effects of their own. To date, literally thousands of civilians have been made very sick mostly with respiratory illnesses and distress and even scores of deaths. The military has deceived the public and other authorities by saying that what they are spraying are harmless simulants while in actuality they are really conducting chemical and biological warfare with weapons of mass destruction under the guise of merely a ³test.² Yes, a test, to see how many people will be made ill, contract respiratory diseases, and how many die. So, do you call that at ³test² or actual warfare? We do not have to wait any longer for Clinton to antagonize the Middle Eastern cou! ! ntries to the point of them lashing out with international terrorists against U.S. cities and U.S. citizens, as Clinton is doing what he is told to do by the Insiders, the Elites, the bosses of the Illuminati and New World Order. As I posted to you all numerous times in the past, if Clinton can¹t get the Islamics to attack the U.S. then Clinton will just go ahead himself and do it. That is exactly what he is doing now. Citizens, Patriots, and Veterans, no need to wait for these NBC - Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical warfare attacks against us because they have been going on for quite some time now. Why? Because the New World Order¹s Elites¹ plan is to reduce the population of the world by 25% by the year 2000 (Y2K is truly an appropriate crisis), 50% by 2025, 75% shortly after that, and by 85% to 95% as a Þnal goal to leave only 200 million people alive world wide. Of course these surviving people will only be comprised of the Elites and their prison labor slaves incarcerated in C! ! linton¹s Civilian Concentration Camps here in the U.S. and in other concentration camps around the world. Why? Because the Elites want to ³save² the world¹s natural resources for themselves. They don¹t want other people using them as they think our resources are running out when in actuality all we have to do is use our technology to use them more efÞciently and produce replaceable natural resources.

-Caveat Lector- harryo wrote: RUSSIAN MILITARY ACCUSES USA OF TESTING NEW SECRET BOMB IN YUGOSLAVIA Russian military officials late on Monday night accused the United States of testing a new secret weapon in Yugoslavia -- a weapon that is somewhere between conventional and nuclear! "The United States is using Yugoslavia as a test range for its latest secret means of destruction," representatives of the Russian Defense ministry told reporters late Monday night. The Pentagon refused immediate comment. Russia claims that a bomb tested in Yugoslavia radically differs from conventional weapons. "It was created in Los Alamos and is aimed to destroy radio electronic equipment," the TASS newswire reported in Tuesday flashes. The military said that the bomb generates an electric impulse similar to electromagnetic fluctuations caused by a nuclear explosion. They added that the bombs are being carried by two strategic B-2 bombers of the Stealth technology. Russian military officials provided no other details. FOOTNOTE: This late night report from Russia's newswire service continues a strange trend that has developed in the past week. By night, the ITAR-TASS wire moves provocative scare stories -- many on Russian plans for military maneuvers. [On the first night of NATO bombings in Kosovo, TASS shocked with a report that Moscow was considering moving nuclear weapons to southern regions of Russia. Late night reports that Russian ships were maneuvering also created intrigue.] But during daylight hours in Moscow, TASS, the official state news agency for Russia, turns more diplomatic, most military talk vanishes. There appears to be two forces at work inside of the Kremlin, the main source for TASS military reports. A dark and cold-warlike force appears to be operating at night when Yelstin and his close advisers are sleeping. Due to expanding information technology, these provocative late night stories quickly move outside of Russia and instantly bounce throughout the world. In the morning, Yelstin and others rush news releases that completely counter the reports that surface on TASS at night. May the sun always rise. *** SKYWATCH INTERNATIONAL INC.

From: Mark Keesee [EMAIL PROTECTED] HoustonChronicle July 02, 1999, 09:41 p.m. Bush reveals true picture of wealth Presidential hopeful is worth millions WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush gave Americans a more detailed picture of his wealth Friday, disclosing that he owns more than $7 million in U.S. Treasury notes and a blind trust worth more than $1 million. The son of former President Bush also reported that he has two money market accounts with a total value of between $600,000 and $1.25 million, three checking accounts with a total value of between $3,000 and $45,000, and no debts. And he received the first half of a $250,000 advance for a campaign biography he is writing with Houston Chronicle sports columnist Mickey Herskowitz. Bush's initial share, after commission, was $106,250, which he is donating to four youth charities. Bush, who is paid $97,890 as governor of Texas, reported on his federal income tax return in April that he and his wife, Laura, had $18 million in income and paid $3.7 million in taxes in 1998. Included in that total was the $14.9 million he received when the Texas Rangers baseball team was sold. Bush initially paid $606,302 for his share of the club. Bush still has a share of the partnership that owned the team, valued at between $1 million and $5 million. When the partnership finally is dissolved, Bush is expected to receive an additional $1 million to $2 million. The governor also earned capital-gains income of between $100,000 and $1 million from the sale of real estate investments, capital-gains income of $100,000 to $1 million from Advance Paradigm stock and capital-gains income of between $50,000 and $100,000 from the sale of investments in oil and gas. He reported his largest asset was his investment in U.S. Treasury notes, which he valued at between $7.2 million and $14 million. He reported those notes alone earned him between $351,000 and $1.2 million in 1998. © Copyright 1999, Houston Chronicle.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Today's Lesson From Schrodinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality by John Gribben Feynman's unsung insight suggested, more than a half century ago, that the behavior of electromagnetic radiation, and the way in which it interacts with charged particles, could be explained by taking seriously the fact that there are two sets of solutions to Maxwell's equations, the equations that describe electromagnetic waves moving through space like ripples moving across the surface of a pond. One set of solutions, the 'common-sense' solutions, describes waves moving outward from an accelerated charged particle and forwards in time, like ripples spreading from the point where a stone has been dropped into the pond. The second set of solutions, largely ignored even today, describes waves travelling backwards in time and converging onto charged particles, like ripples that start from the edge of the pond and converge onto a point in the middle of the pond. As I discussed in Chapter Two, when proper allowance is made for both sets of equations interacting with all the charged particles in the Universe, most of the complexity cancels out, leaving only the familiar common-sense (or 'retarded') waves to carry electromagnetic influences from one charged particle to another. But as a result of all these interactions, each individual charged particle--including each electron--is instantaneously aware of its position in relation to all the other charged particles in the Universe. The one tangible influence of the waves that travel backwards in time (the 'advanced' waves) is that they provide feedback which makes every charged particle an integrated part of the whole electromagnetic web. Poke an electron in a laboratory here on Earth, and in principle every charged particle in, say, the Andromeda galaxy, more than two million light years away, immediately knows what has happened, even though any retarded wave produced by poking the electron here on Earth will take more than two million years to reach the Andromeda galaxy = Symbolism Bald Eagle Bites Clinton On the left hand, no less A BALD eagle, the emblem of the United States, bit President Clinton at a ceremony on the White House lawn yesterday. Mr Clinton's staff had arranged for the eagle, Challenger, to be present when he announced that the species was being taken off the endangered list after a 27-year conservation project. The President described the eagle as the "living symbol of our democracy" and then moved over to talk to the bird's handler, Al Cesari. Mr Clinton looked distinctly uneasy as he stood just out of pecking distance of the bird, whose image appears on the great seal of the United States, on the dollar bill and a host of other national symbols. As the President turned to congratulate volunteers from the eagle-salvation programme who were standing behind Challenger's perch, the 10-year-old bird bent forward and pecked him hard on the left hand. Mr Clinton withdrew his hand quickly, shook it and inspected the damage, as an embarrassed Mr Cesari moved in. A spokesman for the White House said later: "The President was bitten, but no blood was drawn. He told aides as he left the ceremony that he was sure that bird was not the only creature in Washington who would like to have a go at him." The eagle had been reduced from an estimated population of half a million, when it was chosen as America's emblem in 1783, to only 417 pairs in 1963.

Picked up for £1 ($1.58) by the Dutch bank and insurance company ING Group, ING Barings has experienced no shortage of upheaval since then, as it has struggled with the management and cultural issues shared by other investment banks owned by larger financial services organisations. It also shared the pain of two years of turbulence in emerging markets. In less than five months last year, ING Barings lost a new chief executive, Arjun Mathrani, then its chairman and interim chief executive, Marinus Minderhoud. It also cut 1,200 of 10,000 jobs worldwide and saw the departure of some of its most prominent UK corporate bankers. What has emerged from two years of turmoil is a bank focusing on medium- size companies in Europe, while retaining an interest in emerging markets.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/20554.html A HREF="http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/20554.html"Political News from Wired News /A - FBI Subdues 'Privacy Gone Crazy' by Declan McCullagh 3:00 a.m. 2.Jul.99.PDT WASHINGTON -- Law enforcement groups and their supporters in Congress rallied late Thursday to defeat a bank privacy proposal. Warning in the darkest terms that a plan to protect the confidentiality of bank records was "privacy gone crazy," opponents angrily denounced it on the floor of the House of Representatives. The House then rejected the reform package, 299-129, with only 12 Democrats supporting it. See also: How to Reconcile Bank Privacy Federal law requires banks to monitor their customers for suspicious or unusual behavior and submit a report to a massive database in Detroit jointly administered by the IRS and FinCEN, another Treasury Department agency. Those reports contain personal information, including the customer's Social Security number, bank account number, address, and phone number. A hastily assembled alliance of law-and-order conservatives and liberal Democrats predicted that a plan to reduce such surveillance of customers would turn the United States into "a money-laundering haven." "Say no to the dope dealers," said Representative Maxine Waters (D-California). "It guts existing money-laundering laws [and] sets the drug war back 20 years," said Representative Bill McCollum (R-Florida). Both said the FBI, the Justice Department, and the Treasury Department steadfastly opposed the proposal, and quoted from letters sent to Congress by the FBI and an association of police chiefs. The move was designed to portray the supporters of the amendment to the Financial Services Act of 1999 as extremists who would hamstring -- according to Representative John Dingell (D-Michigan) -- law enforcement's ability to investigate drug smugglers, the Mafia, and the Kali cartel. For the most part, it worked. The plan's backers appeared dogged but outflanked by the aggressive opposition, and their aides privately began girding themselves for defeat. "This notion that it is going to ruin law enforcement is just not valid," said Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas). "It protects the consumer. It protects the citizen." Representative Tom Campbell (R-California) said current law is an "invasion of individual liberty in the guise of law enforcement." The measure, backed by Paul, Campbell, and Georgia Republican Bob Barr, would have made federal laws requiring banks to report "suspicious transactions" more precise, and the rules requiring that banks report deposits or withdrawals of more than US$10,000 would in the future apply to amounts greater than $25,000. Paul and Barr tried to use the momentum against the reviled Know Your Customer monitoring plan to advance their amendment. The defeat by the full House means the amendment was not part of the financial modernization bill, which the chamber approved 343-83.

The Dow Jones Utility Average just reached new all-time highs, while the usual best proxy for this index, U.S. T-bonds, just broke to new lows, and are now sporting yields greater than 6%. Meanwhile the Dow Jones Transports peaked not in April with the Internet stocks, nor in June with the current highs of the DJUA, but with the last thrust higher in the SP 500 index in early May. Since that time, the DJTA has traded off a fairly substantial 12%, while the SP 500 is off just a minor 3%. Very little seems in synch here. Even many of the technical indicators are flashing completely different signals. Complacency in the market would still appear to be quite high as witnessed by Investors Intelligence tally of bullish advisors at 61.6%. The last time this particular indicator reached these levels was back in August 1987, just before a wee-bit of weakness one may remember that October. And yet, the latest CFTC commitments of traders report shows that speculators, as of June 1, are at their highest level of net short index futures positions since late 1994. Late 1994 was of course when this market took off on its latest bull run. The disparity between such usually reliable indicators is exactly the way the U.S. equity market feels at present: flaky and unreliable. It is slowly stumbling lower but without any pace or conviction. Occasional spikes higher keep the dreams of riches alive in the popular media, but in reality, no one is getting quite as rich, quite as quickly, or quite as easily as they were before April 8th. Seemingly stock pickers and equity market pundits are all still bullish, but the large speculative futures traders (hedge funds?) are all positioned short. At the same time, the net short open interest in many individual stocks has dropped precipitously. As Fred Hickey of the High Tech Strategist points out, when Dell was at the equivalent price of 20 last October, the entire short position in Dell totaled over 100 million shares. By early February, when Dell finally peaked at 55, the net short position in Dell had fallen to under 48 million shares. Overall, the mania had simply gone too high and had carried on for too long -- some 17 weeks with only a few shallow down weeks among them for most shorts to have survived. This is not dissimilar to the void of players created back in 1980 when silver had finally reached $54 an ounce. Liquidity declines as prices turn more and more exponential, and it does not tend to come back even after the market breaks. Instead, players both long and short get tired of getting "stopped," so they just stop trading. Capital retreats. The market finds a temporary equilibrium and just sits. This may be one reason that the amount of traffic on the Internet on major financial web pages actually dropped in April compared to the previous month for the first time ever. Even the typical correlations that we usually see between markets when we look at our own artificial intelligence models, seem to be pointing to very different internal market rhythms. Although the entire period between mid-July and mid-August shows up as singularly volatile, the respective panic cycles of the SPs, Dow Jones, Nasdaq, DAX, CAC, FTSE, Nikkei, and Hang Seng barely have a single week in common. After having studied these models for over 25-years, we do not remember another period quite this complicated to decipher. Usually one would see many more cross-market similarities much more of a cross-market macro-rhythm. What we see instead is a global financial system that already is disjointed and likely to become more so in the weeks to come. If the world feels like one giant stop-loss, it may be because that is exactly what it is: hedge funds continue to net liquidate positions right and left and retreat one by one to the sidelines. From the Feds perspective, what appears to have been going on here is indeed healthy to

[CTRL] [1] The Marcos Dynasty
-Caveat Lector- an excerpt from: The Marcos Dynasty Sterling Seagrave©1988 Harper Row, Inc ISBN 0-06-015815-8 out-of-print --[1]-- Prologue A DISEASE OF THE HEART BROKEN MASTS of sunken ships stuck up out of Manila Bay like a burned-out pine forest when I first arrived in the Philippines as a boy at the end of World War H. Ferdinand Marcos was then a young lawyer with a reassuring grin preparing to make his first run for Congress and his first million dollars, and Imelda Romualdez was a barefoot high school girl on the island of Leyte. Manila had been flattened by American artillery at the bitter end, but the fine old Manila Hotel on the bayfront seemed miraculously intact, some said because General Douglas MacArthur was a director of the hotel and had a penthouse on its roof; and over on the banks of the muddy Pasig River, where the bloated bodies of dogs drifted by on their way to the South China Sea, Malacanang Palace was unscathed, a sprawling Spanish colonial hacienda in the midst of its own walled park. I made many other visits as a journalist over the years while Ferdinand and Imelda rose to power, secured the beginning of a dynasty, became arguably the richest couple on the planet, then in 1986 took what used to be called French leave, climbing tearfully aboard American helicopters with suitcases full of dollars in the time-honored tradition, heading-without yet realizing it-for exile in Honolulu, as mobs outside worked up the courage to storm the gates. The phenomenon of "People Power" took the overthrow of Ferdinand and Imelda out of the hands of ludicrously incompetent rival military factions; nuns stopped armored personnel carriers (everyone thought they were tanks) by kneeling in their path to say rosaries; and pretty girls blocked soldiers in battledress to poke flowers down the muzzles of their assault rifles. There was a lot of weeping and singing, and in the midst of this great passion the knees of the renegade defense minister Juan Ponce Enrile were shaking so badly he could hardly stand up. Although he wore a flak jacket and carried an Uzi, and had a bodyguard of colonels and majors, when he passed through the crowds his real security was provided by a flock of nuns. Under the Marcoses, Malacanang Palace had changed. Beneath its shady balconies there was now a "Black Room" where very special political prisoners were tortured. In addition to the three thousand pairs of shoes Imelda left behind, Filipinos searching the palace basement found her bulletproof brassiere, which could bring a tidy sum in auction at Christie's. Manila also had changed. It was once a gracious city and may be again. But along the bayfront in the five-star tourist hotel district of Ermita facing the U.S. Embassy, little boys and girls age six or seven now plucked at the shirttails of tourists, offering to perform oral sex for a dollar. Among the most popular tours of the Marcos era were sex junkets for pederasts. As novelist P. F. Kluge observed, the Philippines had become "America's fellatrix. From the heights of power-when they were fawned over by diplomats, bribed by an American president, paid off by the Pentagon, and indulged by the World Bank-Ferdinand and Imelda crashed into a public plight so demeaning it was pitiable. Under what amounted to modified house arrest in Honolulu, they appeared before television cameras like King Lear and his clown, wringing from the audience equal parts of sympathy and astonishment. In his humiliation, launching one desperate plot after another to regain the throne, only to have his most secret conversations taped and made public by men with fewer scruples than he, Marcos and his dynasty became a joke. Why, then, were we persuaded to take him seriously for more than twenty years? Was there some kind of game being played in which we ourselves were the unwitting fools? The answer, unfortunately, is yes. Despite the blizzard of stories and TV interviews that followed the Marcos downfall, the public airing of Imelda's black lace underwear, and the revelations of grand larceny on both their parts, I found the Marcos saga deeply unsatisfying. What the Marcoses had done was clear-at least in broad outline-but not why they did it, what drove them to such extremes, and who helped them gain power and hold on to it so long. Among the press disclosures there were hints of Marcos' ties to underworld figures from America, Europe, Australia, China, and Japan; and there were reports that Ferdinand had been involved in peculiar gold bullion transactions with reputable bankers, statesmen, military men, and gold merchants. The sums mentioned totaled hundreds of tons of bullion, perhaps thousands of tons, far more than the Philippine gold reserves. Had Marcos actually found Yamashita's Gold, the legendary Japanese booty from World War 11 stolen from a dozen countries? As I began to trace the secret bullion transactions, the real story of Yamashita's Gold unfolded in a totally

[CTRL] W hat happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
-Caveat Lector- Hilary, I came across this interesting message. Thought it should be shared with the list. For What Its Worth, Joe Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means and well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died Bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed His wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. Some of us take these liberties so much for granted ... We shouldn't. --- ONElist Sponsor Check out this week's ONElist of the week. http://www.onelist.com How is ONElist changing YOUR life? Visit our homepage and let us know!

[CTRL] Uses for BOUNCE Laundry Static Stoppers .....
-Caveat Lector- Lots of uses for BOUNCE Laundry Static Stoppers . Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. Eliminates static electricity from your television screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling. Dissolves soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a used sheet of Bounce. Freshens the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in the closet. Prevents thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce to eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing. Eliminates static cling from pantyhose. Rub a damp, used sheet of Bounce over the hose. Prevents musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing. Freshens the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat. Cleans baked-on food from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in the pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agents apparently weaken the bond between the food and the pan while the fabric softening agents soften the baked-on food. Eliminates odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket. Collects cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs. Eliminates static electricity from venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling. Wipes up sawdust from drilling or sandpapering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth. Eliminates odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper. Deodorizes shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight so they'll smell great in the morning.

[CTRL] Secret Service May Ask Agents To Pledge Silence
-Caveat Lector- Saturday July 3 1:44 PM ET Secret Service May Ask Agents To Pledge Silence WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Secret Service is considering requiring new agents to sign a pledge that they will not discuss what they see and hear while protecting a president, Director Brian Stafford said Saturday. After at least one former agent discussed ex-intern Monica Lewinsky with reporters and a retired member of President John Kennedy's protective detail revealed Kennedy's sexual trysts to author Seymour Hersh, the Secret Service is reviewing a pledge of confidentiality as a condition of employment. ``In over 100 years, we never felt that there was a need to do that,'' Stafford said in an interview with the CBS News program ``Saturday Morning.'' ``It was just a code that we all thought and felt very strongly about and didn't feel that we had to reduce it to paper,'' he said. ``But we are now.'' ``Our legal people are now looking at a confidentiality statement which new employees will be required to sign,'' Stafford said. Stafford, who became director four months ago, also told CBS that he will urge Congress to exempt agents from being subpoenaed and forced to testify, as they were by independent counsel Kenneth Starr as part of his probe of the Lewinsky affair. ``When there's a new president, if they don't trust us, they don't have confidence in us, then we won't be able to do our job well and they will push us back,'' Stafford said. -- "Those who want to hear the voice of pagan gods in wind or thunder, who want to see the fairies dance in the moonlight, who can believe that faith can move mountains, can follow the thread on the pages of this book.

-Caveat Lector- The Bohemian Grove started out as somewhat benign organization.. During the early years, a number of prominent California writers, poets and musicians participated in what was supposed to be primarily an arts gathering. However, like so much of American culture, the Grove has been hijacked by korporate America. The allegations of weird doings at the Grove is based on the testimony of Cathy O'Brien (Tranceformation of America) and other researchers who have claimed that some of the Grove activities are kept hidden, even from other Grove participants. There are certain sections of the Grove that are off-limits to outsiders. Perhaps the stories of blood rites and sexual orgies are completely false. Then again, perhaps there is truth in these claims. As Kris's excellent post on the background of the NWO reveals, truth is stranger than fiction. My grandfather used to tell me that the uninitiated would never be able to penetrate the secrets of the craft. It's a little bit like an onion.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO SO WELL TOGETHER Los Angeles Times reports this today!! *** Friday, July 2, 1999 House Approves Disclosure of Private Medical Records By ALISSA J. RUBIN, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON--Individual medical records, including patients' genetic information, could be disclosed by health insurers to credit card companies and other financial institutions under legislation overwhelmingly approved Thursday by the House. The controversial provision is embedded in a massive bill overhauling the financial services industry, which passed, 343 to 86. The provision was slipped into the measure late in the legislative process and was advertised as a medical confidentiality provision by its sponsor, Rep. Greg Ganske (R-Iowa), who is a doctor. Ganske said that his intention in adding the provision was to protect consumers' medical records and to allow their disclosure only for billing and other health care operations. But privacy experts said that it is virtually a "publicity" provision that, because of the way it is worded, would allow broad disclosures of private medical information without a patient's permission. "Under this legislation, a health insurer can send a patient's diagnosis to a credit agency. They can say, in effect, 'By the way, Joan Smith has a brain tumor; don't lend her any money,' " said Tim Westmoreland, a senior policy fellow at Georgetown University Law Center. A number of groups, including the American Medical Assn., the American Civil Liberties Union and the American Psychiatric Assn., oppose the provision. Although the Clinton administration supports the bill as a whole, it urged Congress to drop the medical confidentiality section because it could undermine privacy protections. But lawmakers said that Clinton is unlikely to veto the bill over the medical privacy provision alone. If the bill becomes law, it would mark the first time since the Great Depression that the nation's banking laws have been overhauled. The goal of the popular legislation is to allow financial services firms--banks, savings and loan associations, investment banking firms, brokerage companies and insurers--to compete in each other's lines of business. The Senate already has approved a financial services modernization bill but did not include any mention of medical privacy. It is unclear whether the medical privacy provision will remain part of the financial services bill. It could be removed in a House-Senate conference committee, which would have to work out differences between the two versions of the legislation. Both houses of Congress are working on separate medical confidentiality legislation, which could come to votes later this summer. Currently there are no comprehensive federal laws protecting individual health information. Lawmakers feel a need to move quickly. If they fail to act by late August, Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala is required to issue regulations protecting the privacy of electronic medical records. The legislation approved Thursday would allow medical information held by insurance companies to be released for a variety of purposes, including to determine charges for premiums and for research projects of any kind--medical and nonmedical. Among the entities who could review individual medical data are credit card companies and banks. There is no restriction on how they could use the information.

-Caveat Lector- When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation. One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew. The old man, who only spoke Navajo, asked a question, which his son translated. "What are the guys in the big suits doing?" A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the moon. The old man got really excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts. Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA folks found a tape recorder. After the old man recorded his message, they asked the son to translate. He refused. So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation, where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed, but refused to translate the elder's message to the moon. Finally, NASA called in an official government translator. He reported that the moon message said, "Watch out for these guys; they've come to steal your land."

[CTRL] White House Goes Mad-TV
-Caveat Lector- Rubin Grabbed in Sendoff Spoof By WILLIAM C. MANN .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Late in his tenure as Treasury secretary, Robert Rubin often had occasion to tear into the way Japan handled its reeling economy. The Japanese probably didn't like it, but enough to kidnap him? Yep, said a videotape spoof shown in the White House's state dining room to President Clinton, along with the first lady and other Rubin friends and colleagues attending a retirement party thrown by the president Thursday night. The premise was that retired Japanese bureaucrats took Rubin hostage in Tokyo and refused to let him go unless he would say something - ANYTHING - positive about the Japanese economy. The CIA reports to Clinton that, aware of the U.S. military's ``name, rank, serial number'' limits to cooperation with captors, Rubin held out against his. He gave them nothing more than a lesson in basic capitalism: ``My name is Bob Rubin. I am a U.S. citizen. Markets go up and markets go down. I have nothing more to say.'' Jesse Jackson, whose real-life hostage-retrieving skills were honed in Iraq and Yugoslavia, finally is called on to find ``common ground between the yen and the yang.'' Successful, Jackson declares: ``Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty, Bob's free at last.'' Gene Sperling, Clinton's chief economic adviser, conceived, produced, directed, wrote the screenplay of (what there was of it), acted in and was cinematographer for the production. Sperling's handiwork producing ``Free Bob: A Documentary'' did not go unnoticed. His spokesman, Jake Siewert, introduced his boss Friday at a White House briefing as ``chairman of the National Economic Council and a documentary filmmaker.'' Sperling reportedly worked on the movie, off and on, over a 24-hour period, then got editing help from a friend who's an experienced editor. The concept probably came easily to Sperling: Japanese officials were known to resent Rubin's outspokenness about economic mismanagement in their country. Tokyo quickly congratulated his successor, Rubin's longtime deputy Lawrence Summers, after his swearing-in Friday. In addition to Jackson and Sperling, the videotape featured some of Washington's most powerful people. Sandy Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, argues with Sperling about whose name goes atop the memo to Clinton outlining rescue options. Japan is a foreign country, but the demands are economic. Clinton tries to keep himself above the fray by working on a crossword puzzle. Defense Secretary William Cohen reports in the Pentagon press room that he's offering the Navy's entire $82 billion budget to pay for Rubin's hotel room in outrageously expensive Tokyo. Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan gives his report. ``Greenspan's comments were straight up,'' an official who saw the film said, ``but in the context, you had to laugh.'' Thursday night's showing was supposed to be the last, and as of Saturday nobody had reported that a copy had been leaked. But in Washington, just wait.

[CTRL] NATO Bars Russia from Kosovo
-Caveat Lector- NATO Nixes Russian Reinforcements By WILLIAM C. MANN .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - NATO thwarted Russian attempts to fly reinforcements to its peacekeeping forces in Yugoslavia because the Kremlin wants to revise the agreement giving Russia a role in policing the peace, alliance and U.S. officials said Saturday. NATO's military headquarters in Belgium expects the Russians this week to continue talks on the requested revisions. They broke off Wednesday without agreement after three days. Russia wants to change an agreement reached in lengthy negotiations last month at Helsinki, Finland, that outlined Russian participation in a NATO-led peacekeeping force. NATO officials speaking on condition of anonymity said Russia wants to send some of its troops into sectors of Kosovo controlled by other NATO countries. Separately, Russia wants to water down NATO's command of Russian forces. ``We continue to work with Russian military representatives on the arrangements'' for its participation, a U.S. official said. ``It is NATO's view that we should complete all of these arrangements before additional Russian forces deploy to Kosovo.'' German Col. Michael Kaemmerer, a NATO official at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, site of the talks, said they were to have lasted seven to 10 days, aiming to work out deployment details such as ``a timeline, liaison procedures and so on.'' He said the Russians are invited to return this week. In Washington, Pentagon spokeswoman Maj. Ginger Blazicko said talks are scheduled. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright took a break from a European vacation Friday and telephoned her Russian counterpart, Igor Ivanov, a U.S. official said. The official had no details of the call, but The New York Times said Albright explained to Ivanov NATO's objections to a full Russian deployment before all problems with the agreement are settled. Authorities on both sides of the Atlantic said Russia asked Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria late last week for corridors through which Ilyushin cargo planes could fly soldiers to join about 700 Russian troops and technicians already in Kosovo, a province of the Yugoslav republic Serbia. After consultation with U.S. and NATO officials, alliance member Hungary and Romania and Bulgaria, both of which want to join NATO, rejected the requests. ``The nations (involved) have not granted overflight rights, and there is not an inclination to do so until all arrangements are completed,'' a U.S. official said. ``We support that inclination.'' Still, news agencies reported in Moscow that two Il-76 aircraft were being loaded with military hardware and other cargo Saturday in preparation for a Sunday airlift of about 100 paratroopers, the first of an eventual 2,900 additional troops planned for the Russian contingent. They said another four Il-76s will fly Monday and Tuesday with 200 more soldiers. The Russian agencies said Hungary refused overflights, but they did not mention Bulgaria or Romania. Tanjug, Yugoslavia's government-run agency, reported from Moscow that all three rejected overflights but ``lively diplomatic activity is under way.'' The Russians are at Slatina airport near Pristina, Kosovo's provincial capital. Its first soldiers went there in an unexpected lightning move three weeks ago from nearby Bosnia, where they were serving with a Western-led peacekeeping operation. Lt. Gen. Victor Zavarzin, commander of the push into Kosovo, quickly became a hero at home and was awarded a third star by President Boris Yeltsin. In Boston, The Globe reported Saturday that Zavarzin was known to NATO commanders as a high-ranking spy. On that basis, the newspaper said, Gen. Wesley Clark, NATO's supreme commander, rejected Russia's nomination of Zavarzin as the Kremlin's liaison with NATO. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] 13-Yr-Old Goth Gal Arrested -- Felonious Puberty ?
-Caveat Lector- Fla. Girl Charged With Murder Plot SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - A 13-year-old girl known to wear dark Gothic clothing is charged with crafting a scheme to kill classmates and teachers at her middle school. The eighth-grader, charged in juvenile court with solicitation to commit murder, could be held in juvenile custody until her 18th birthday if she is convicted. She was arrested June 14, the date she allegedly planned to carry out the killings. A judge is hearing her case and is expected to issue a verdict in a few days. The girl allegedly met with friends three days after the April 20 massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., and showed them a map of the school's security cameras, shared a hit list of nine students and school personnel, and described a getaway plan involving her boyfriend. Linda Bartfield, the girl's advanced algebra teacher, testified Friday that the girl would say: ``I hate this school. I hate you. I hate this class.'' Ms. Bartfield's name allegedly appeared on the hit list. Kenneth Hassett, the defense attorney, argued that none of the state's witnesses had seen the girl with weapons or bomb-making materials. And a 16-year-old boy - whom the girl allegedly asked for help in the scheme - testified ``she didn't ask me to kill no one.''

[CTRL] Croatia: All in the Family
-Caveat Lector- Croat Leader's Son Heads Spy Group ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - Croatia's president appointed his son to head the nation's intelligence agency, a news report said Saturday, amid U.S. concern over alleged political abuse by the secret services. Miroslav Tudjman was named Friday to head the Bureau of Intelligence, the official Hina news agency said. His appointment follows a series of scandals that have hit Croatia's intelligence agencies. Among them, the private weekly Nacional recently published confidential intelligence documents allegedly revealing widespread tapping of the phones of journalists, opposition politicians and other public officials. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department issued a statement Friday expressing concern over ``official political use of the security and police services against the broader society.'' It urged the government to refrain from attacks on its critics and to strengthen democracy. Tudjman, 53, previously held the intelligence post for two years but resigned suddenly for unknown reasons in April 1998. Critics believe his reappointment indicates his father, President Franjo Tudjman, is running out of aides he can trust as his public support wanes ahead of parliamentary elections scheduled for later this year. Many feel the ruling party is rife with corruption and that senior officials have abused their posts to enrich themselves and their close relatives. The younger Tudjman replaces Miroslav Separovic, the man who took the post after his 1998 resignation. Separovic resigned earlier this year to protest apparent attempts by the agency to cover up a banking scandal allegedly involving senior political officials. He is now under investigation on suspicion of disclosing confidential documents to the media. The documents accused the agency of rigging the national soccer league in favor of a club sponsored by members of the ruling Democratic Union party.

[CTRL] Reverse Robin Hood Leaves Prison a Superstar
-Caveat Lector- "Newspapers reportedly have been vying to get an interview with Leeson for a six-figure sum, while the movie based on his case, ``Rogue Trader,'' premiered last week in London before a star-studded audience." British Rogue Banker Leeson Freed By DEAN VISSER .c The Associated Press SINGAPORE (AP) - Rogue trader Nick Leeson walked out of a Singapore prison Saturday, four years after bringing down Britain's oldest commercial bank and sending shock waves through Asia's giddy financial world. Wearing a broad smile, T-shirt and warmup pants, the 32-year-old Briton was immediately taken to the airport, where security officers whisked him through passport control and put him on a commercial flight to London. Leeson spent nearly 3 1/2 years at Tanah Merah prison, convicted of fraudulently hiding $1.4 billion in losses at Barings Bank. His unauthorized futures trading made him one of the decade's most notorious white-collar criminals. The bad deals also led to the 1995 collapse of Barings and stunned dealers throughout Asia's then-booming markets. The former trader, whose hair was noticeably thinning, underwent colon cancer surgery during his prison term, which was reduced by three years because of good behavior. Prison authorities said his cancer was in remission. Now the subject of a book and film, Leeson has gained celebrity status. But his personality remains an enigma, his reputation an odd mix of loutish bravado and good-natured humility. Leeson's wife Lisa Sims, 30, campaigned tirelessly after his arrest, trying to convince Britain and the world that her husband was not a heinous criminal. She later divorced him, however, after he published his book, ``Rogue Trader,'' revealing details of the couple's sex life. Leeson, who failed math in high school, pushed his way into the financial world as a low-salaried clerk for Britain's dignified Coutts and Co. bank in 1985. He moved to U.S. bankers Morgan Stanley in 1987, and then to Barings in London in 1989. Four years later, at age 26, he was paid $82,000 a year to toss around multimillion-dollar blocks of money from Barings' Singapore futures trading office. He received huge bonuses, had a lavish apartment in Singapore's glittering Orchard Road district, and frequented jazz bars popular among Singapore's affluent expatriates. After his trading losses were discovered, he fled Singapore but was caught in Frankfurt, Germany, and brought back to the island republic, where a court sentenced him to 6 1/2 years in prison. Leeson begins his new life with tight controls imposed by the High Court in London. He can't spend any money without giving two days' written notice to liquidators investigating the collapse of Barings Bank. He's also can't profit from the film adaptation of his autobiography or selling his story to the news media. A $700,000 advance for the book has reportedly gone toward his legal bills. The court allowed Leeson up to $7,900 per month for living costs, legal fees and health care. But accountants working for the Singapore-based liquidators must be given written, advance notice of where the cash has come from and exactly how it is being spent. In addition, a Singapore law firm representing liquidators said it plans to keep investigating whether Leeson has any money hidden away from his Barings days. His lawyer, Stephan Pollard, said Leeson would ``certainly get a job as soon as is practicable'' but cautioned that it would be difficult after spending time in prison. Newspapers reportedly have been vying to get an interview with Leeson for a six-figure sum, while the movie based on his case, ``Rogue Trader,'' premiered last week in London before a star-studded audience.

[CTRL] Japan -- Don't Drink the Water, Don't Breathe the Air
-Caveat Lector- First, Belgium, now Japan ... How widespread IS the phenomenon of deadly dioxin in the foodchain? Japan Facing Dioxin Pollution Woes By MARI YAMAGUCHI .c The Associated Press TOKOROZAWA, Japan (AP) - Eiko Kotani keeps her windows closed and runs an air purifier all day long. She washes her vegetables carefully, peels her tomatoes and avoids fatty meat, fish from the nearby bay and ice cream of any flavor. But she still fears for the health of her family. Kotani's home in this Tokyo suburb is surrounded by dozens of smokestacks spewing smelly, gray plumes from burned garbage - smoke that potentially carries dangerous dioxin. ``We've been forced to breathe in this air,'' she said. ``It's outrageous.'' Pollution from dioxin - a chemical compound linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems - has become Japan's latest environmental obsession. Along with polluting the air, dioxins can seep into the soil and water, contaminating farm, dairy and fish products. Though researchers are now just beginning to grasp the scope of the problem, some scientists believe dioxin pollution in Japan may be the worst in the world. Dioxin pollution is closely linked to the burning of trash. Dioxin is often released when plastics and other wastes that contain chlorine-based chemicals are burned. This poses a special problem for Japan, which is a country of incinerators. Garbage here is burned at 3,840 government-approved incineration facilities, compared with fewer than 200 in the United States. Part of the reason for all the incinerators is the lack of space for landfills in the crowded island nation. Another, environmental groups say, is the failure of the government to see dioxin contamination as a problem. Awareness got a major boost in 1997, however, when the city of Kyoto was host to a global conference on environmental issues. Japan and 37 other countries promised to cut their combined greenhouse gas emissions - mainly carbon dioxide - to 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2008 to 2012. Pressure on the government to act has since increased, with heavy coverage of dioxin-related stories in Japanese news media. Two recent cases have caused particular concern: In February, near panic resulted after a television network reported that high levels of dioxin had been found in ``leafy greens'' from a suburb northwest of Tokyo. Spinach prices nose-dived, and angry farmers demanded an apology. The network later said the contamination was of tea leaves. In March, two former employees at an incinerator in Osaka applied for workers' compensation after dioxin levels 40 times higher than normal were found in their blood fat. Officials have generally tried to calm the public with reassurances that the contamination is not a dire threat. At the same time, however, the government is beginning to take more serious action to curtail it. In late March, the Cabinet announced it would tighten controls on trash burning and over the next four years reduce total dioxin emissions by about 90 percent. In announcing the package, Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi promised the ``utmost effort to tackle dioxin contamination and meet the public's expectations.'' The government has earmarked $690 million for monitoring and other projects for the fiscal year that began April 1 and will start conducting soil, water and air sampling as early as this summer. Currently, the Health and Welfare Ministry sets the tolerable daily dioxin intake at 10 picograms per kilogram of body weight, or about 4.5 picograms per pound. A picogram is one-trillionth of a gram. But the governing Liberal Democratic Party has proposed legislation to set the limit at 4 picograms per kilogram, at the upper end of the World Health Organization's recent proposed level of 1 to 4 picograms. The government is already claiming some gains in dealing with dioxin pollution. A tightening of standards last year prompted the closing of 2,046 incinerators. It is unclear how many of the remaining 3,840 will be forced to improve or close when the standards are further tightened in 2002, since nearly 700 have yet to comply with a government request for emissions data. Some experts criticize the government's actions as too easy on manufacturers. ``Japan's anti-pollution measures have always been designed to protect the industry instead of the public health,'' said Kazuki Kumamoto, environmental policy professor at Meiji Gakuin University in Tokyo. Kumamoto said manufacturers must be made to stop producing materials and waste that cause pollution to begin with. ``The problems only get worse,'' he said. ``And our offspring will be forced to pay the price.''

[CTRL] Gun Pamphlet
-Caveat Lector- Subject: Gun Facts Pamphlet The following fact sheet is designed to be easily formatted for pamphlet form, on 8-1/2x14 legal-size stock (I use Goldenrod or Yellow). It can be folded in half, and then in half, again, to provide a neat 2-sided, 4-paneled pamphlet. Print this out for friends, family, and your elected officials, and let them know the facts about gun-owners and their firearms, NOT just hysterical propaganda! You can insert your own club or organization's name at the bottom, in place of the information about LAGR shown below. If you send an SASE to me at LAGR's PO Box, I will send back a "master" copy printed out on white legal-size paper, with a blank space in place of LAGR's contact information, so that you can insert your own group's contact information. PAUL GALLANT = GUNS IN AMERICA: THE FACTS ...what the media WON'T tell you!! Preventing law-abiding citizens from carrying firearms for self-defense does not end violent crime - it just makes victims more vulnerable! Society benefits from ordinary people who accept the responsibilities of firearm ownership - not from gun-control laws. Here's why: SELF-DEFENSE CRIME * In 1990, a convicted felon could expect to serve the following prison time: 1.8 years for murder, 60 days for rape, 23 days for robbery, 6.7 days for arson, and 6.4 days for aggravated assault. According to a U.S. Justice Department survey in 17 states, of felony offenders placed on probation in 1986, 43% were re-arrested on other felony charges within 3 years of their release. (1) * Passage of the Brady Law in 1994 has NOT been accompanied by a statistically significant decline in murder or robbery. It has been associated with significant increases in rape and aggravated assaults, presumably from the increased difficulty encountered by law-abiding citizens in obtaining firearms for self-defense. (2) * In 1987, Florida's concealed-carry law went from "may-issue" to "shall-issue" (also known as "Right-To-Carry", or RTC). This meant that issuing authorities must provide a concealed-carry handgun license to all qualified applicants. Other states followed suit, and modeled their own RTC laws after Florida's. On 4/7/98 (the latest date such figures were available), Florida's Dept of Law Enforcement announced that the state's murder rate had dropped, again, in 1997, just as it had in each of the 5 previous years. The additional drop marked the lowest murder rate experienced by "Dodge City East" since 1933. (3) * In 1982, Kennesaw GA (pop. 17,000) passed a law requiring heads of households to keep at least one firearm in their home, exempting those with criminal records or religious objections. Seven months after it took effect, the residential burglary rate dropped 89%, vs. 10.4% statewide. Since 1982, only 2 murders have occurred (1984 and 1989), both committed with knives. (4) * Allowing citizens to carry concealed handguns reduces violent crime. The reduction corresponds very closely to the number of concealed-handgun licenses issued. On average, murder rates in states banning concealed-carry are 127% higher than in states having the most liberal carry laws. A 1% increase in firearm ownership reduces violent crime by 4.1%. Large, densely populated urban areas benefit the most from concealed-carry laws. (5) * Ordinary, law-abiding Americans use guns defensively 2.5 million times, or more, each year. About 75% of these instances are with handguns. That translates to rapes prevented, injuries avoided, medical costs saved, and property protected. (6) * Firearms provide the safest and most effective means of resisting violent criminal attack. For robbery and assault, resistance by defenders armed with a gun leads to termination of the incident with the smallest chance of injury to the victim. In U.S. gov't studies, victims resisting robbery with a gun were injured 17.4% of the time. Those who did nothing at all were injured 24.7% of the time. Those who used non-violent resistance, like trying to run away, were injured 35.9% of the time. Those who resisted with a knife were injured 40.3% of the time. For assault, injury rates were 12.1%, 27.3%, 25.5%, and 29.5%, respectively. While 17.4% of those who resisted robbery with a gun were injured overall, this includes victims who were first injured before they used their guns; less than 6% of robbery victims were injured after using a gun to resist. (7) * Women who carry concealed handguns provide a greater margin of safety for other women. While murder rates decline when either more men or more women carry concealed handguns, the drop is even greater among women than among men. Rapists are particularly susceptible to the deterrence of a potentially armed woman. (5) * Increased incidents of "road rage" from allowing more citizens to carry

A sample. Om K - INTR0DUCTION "Discovered Alive in India: Hitler's Guru!" The young German sat on the threadbare sofa listening to the words of the old woman before him. Through windows opening onto a balcony, shafts of dust-flecked sunlight shone into the darkened space of her humble, spartanly furnished room. Outside the strange, heady tumult of India resounded in the full glare of the midday heat. All around he could hear the street sounds and raucous, bustling squalor of this back alley in Delhi. Occasionally, her narrative was interrupted by the songs of the exotic birds she kept in her room and the young man was distracted by the sudden darting movement of the many cats, her inseparable companions, that lay at her feet or dozed out on the balcony in the warm air. His attention fixed on the worn and crinkled face of the old woman as she carefully chose her words to tell the story of her life. She was dressed in the fashion of Indian women, wearing a loose white sari and a thin cotton shift over her shoulders. Soft gray hair framed her high forehead and was gathered behind her ears. While her brow was barely lined, her cheeks, chin, and neck blurred in a mass of furrows and wrinkles. Her lips were thin, and her mouth looked twisted, pointing downward at the right side. But it was her eyes that held him. Her eyes burned with a strange luminous quality, the light of inner vision and missionary zeal. But he also noticed that the left eye stared with a pained expression, while the right appeared tired and liquid, and he remembered with a start that she was now almost blind with cataracts. The old woman's name was Savitri Devi and the young man had traveled all the way from Frankfurt to find her in this small bare room in old India and to hear in her own words the story of her sacred mission for Hitler and Nazism. This elderly and infirm prophetess of Aryan revival, a philosopher of Hitler's cosmic purpose and Nazi pilgrim in the ruins of the German Reich at the end of the Second World War, had lived for years in poverty and obscurity in Calcutta and Delhi. Now in November :1978, at the end of a long life devoted to the Aryan cause, she had found a new publisher. In late 1982 Ernst Zundel, the founder-proprietor of the neo-Nazi Samisdat Publishers in Toronto, publicized the availability of a set of five two-hour cassettes of live interviews with Savitri Devi and a brandnew edition of her out-of-print classic The Lightning and the Sun (1958). The notice was mailed worldwide on card flyers and it is worth quoting in its breathless entirety: THE HITLER CULT REVEALED. Discovered alive in India: Hitler's guru! For serious students of the occult: You can now purchase the complete set of tape cassette recorded, live interviews with Hitler guru Savitri Devi at her home in India. Hear in her own words the narration of a prophetic pilgrimage along the edge of the cosmic abyss. Watch the clouds of evil scatter under the lightning of Cosmic Justice and the sun of Cosmic Truth. Read her shocking and most recently published manuscript, "The Lightning and the Sun," which exposes the tangled roots of Nazism for all to see. Discover through her the secret Nazi pyramid connection with Pharaoh Akhnaton and the ancient cult of the sun. Learn the real significance of Genghis Khan's evil role in history, his incredible significance in the present. Discover the hidden springs of Hitler's manic will to power, his mystical bond with the dark forces of time and destiny. Pursue the outlines of evil in its awesome cosmic context. Decipher now the encoded workings of the Nazi mind. Perceive how Hitler saw the workings of the universe through: Human sacrifice. Vegetarianism. Aryanism. The cyclic view of history. The children of violence. The will to survive and to conquer. The seat of truth. Gods on earth. Kalki, the avenger. Were ancient sanskrit laws of the universe compiled in the Bhagavad Gita the secret source of Nazi strength? The amazing answers to these riddles are now at hand. Read them in "The Lightning and the Sun," Hitler guru Savitri Devi's huge, illustrated 448 page illumination of occult Nazi wisdom and prophecy.[1] The Samisdat publicity was a resounding finale to a long and eventful life, begun early in the century in the beautiful, old walled city of Lyons.

[CTRL] Uneven Trade
-Caveat Lector- From TheEconomist http://www.economist.com/editorial/freeforall/8-5- 99/index_sf5060.html SPECIALAt daggers drawn First bananas, now beef, soon genetically modified foods. America and Europe are at war over trade Picture: Related articles Free trade in peril Picture: Resources Search archive Links Picture: picturePicture: picture creditMoore the merrier TRADE relations between America and Europe have rarely been so bad. Even as they fight side-by-side against Serbia, they are taking aim at each other across the Atlantic. They are embroiled in a battle over hormone-treated beef. They are at loggerheads over genetically modified crops. They have fallen out over noisy aircraft, mobile telephones and data privacy. They are coming to blows over aerospace subsidies and champagne. And they have yet to patch up their split over bananas. True, transatlantic trade tiffs are nothing new. Indeed, some friction is perhaps inevitable between the worlds top two trading entities, which do trade of around $400 billion a year with each other. But this is different. The mood in both Washington and Brussels is resentful and uncompromising. Events could easily get out of hand. The current conflict is about more than just hormones in beef or aircraft noise. It is a battle about how far countries are willing to accept constraints on domestic policy in sensitive areas such as food safety or environmental protection for the sake of free trade. Picture: picturePicture: picture creditSuperfluous Supachai The battle is putting huge strains on the World Trade Organisation. The body that polices world trade cannot function properly unless America and Europe accept its writ. But the WTO itself is in crisis over its member countries inability to agree on a new director general. It is now leaderless and fractured; supporters of the two rival candidates are engaged in a slanging match rather than a search for compromise. The longer this drags on, the more its credibility will be undermined. The timing of the recent clashes is partly chance. Long-standing wrangles over bananas and beef have finally worked their way through the WTOs dispute-settlement mechanism. On April 6th the WTO ruled for the third time that the European Union must amend its banana-import rules, which discriminate unfairly against American fruit distributors. On April 19th the WTO gave America the go-ahead to slap retaliatory sanctions against $191m of European importsthe first time it has sanctioned such a move. The WTO has also ruled that the EU must lift its ban on hormone-treated beef by May 13th, because there is no convincing scientific evidence that the hormones are dangerous. America is planning to impose sanctions on around $300m of European imports, mainly foodstuffs and motorcycles, if the EU shows no signs of complying with the WTOs ruling by then. Last week the EU hit back with a new report claiming that the hormones could cause cancer. It also raised the stakes after hormones were found in imports of supposedly hormone-free American beef. It is threatening to ban all American beef on June 15th unless America can provide watertight guarantees that it is hormone-free. Picture: picture Last week the Europeans also issued new restrictions on noisy aeroplanes that will hit American companies particularly hard, although the new rules will not take effect until next year. America in turn launched two new WTO cases against the EU. One is over subsidies to Airbus, Boeings rival in aerospace. The other is over EU rules on geographical labels, which prevent, for instance, Californian fizzy wines being called champagne. But there is more to this than unfortunate coincidence. These bust-ups are a consequence of mercantilist policies exacerbated by political weakness and the increasingly legalistic nature of the WTO. America and Europe (like most countries) tend to see trade as a zero-sum game. They aim to pry open markets for their exporters while protecting their domestic industries from import competition as far as possible. Access to their markets is granted only in exchange for access to others. Such policies are wrong-headed, since a country as a whole gains by opening its markets unilaterally. But they are pervasive, since industries that fear foreign competitors tend to lobby governments harder than the disparate millions of consumers who benefit from cheaper imports. Americas mercantilist urges were once tempered by cold war considerations and the liberal convictions of presidents and other senior politicians. But cold war reflexes are now all but dead and, hemmed in by an increasingly protectionist Congress, Bill Clintons administration (with the exception of Robert Rubin, the Treasury secretary) does not have the stomach or the inclination to make a stand for liberal policies.

[CTRL] Environmentally friendly underwear
-Caveat Lector- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] BNN NEWS PORTLAND, OR - Cicci's, a major U.S. clothing manufacturer has created the first-ever "environmentally friendly" underwear. This underwear features an inner pocket for disposable methane filters. Said Alfredo Cicci, environmental activist and inventor of the disposable methane filter, "Vice-President Gore's Campaign against Methane alerted me to the destructive force of flatulence. I knew something had to be done to stop the gas or the planet would perish." Cicci spent 3 years and 4 million dollars selflessly pursing a way to save the earth. The result of his labor of love is the disposable methane filter. Said Cicci, "The concept was fairly simple. It is similar to putting a filter on an exhaust pipe or smoke stack. We experimented with many different filtering combinations. Our test subjects would load up on beans and then go down to the lab for a 'smog-check'. We wiped out thousands of pairs of underwear before we finally found the right filter." Cicci claims that his disposable methane filter can block 99% of the gas and 50% of the noise associated with human flatulence. An added feature of the disposable methane filter is its ability to save marriages. Said Cicci, "We found that men who wear the disposable methane filter in their underwear are no longer able to gross their wives out by farting in bed and then fluffing the covers." Said one woman, whose husband helped test the filters, "This product is a god-send! There's no more smelly blankets, no more lingering gas in the living room, no more "come here and pull my finger". It's almost like my husband isn't home. I love this underwear!" However, there is down-side to the product. The filter is four inches thick. Test subjects complained that the filter feels baggy. They also complained that when they wore the filter people would point and laugh at them because it looked like they had dropped a load in their pants. Cicci assured BNN that he is planning to release thinner filters by the end of next year. Environmentally friendly underwear should hit the stores in time for the Christmas shopping season. Cicci urges that everyone do their part to save the planet by purchasing this new and exciting product. --- ONElist Sponsor How has ONElist changed your life?

For someone to run a mailing list for issuing propoganda - the inference is that that person has some secret agenda - presumably working for or on behalf of some governmental agency with an agenda to manipulate and deceive the minds of the public. Mr Lee issued a statement tonight that inferred that this list has been poisoned by biased opinion and lies. Mr Lee appears to know something that we don't.

Something has been bothing me, so I thought I might talk it over with you- because it is about you and me. I remember some time ago, people would line up on both sides of the street to watch the prade, and natually I was leading every one, proudly waving in the breeze.When your daddy saw me coming,he immediately removed his hat and placed it againist his left shoulder so that his hand was directly over his heart-remember? And you, I remember , were standing there, straight as a soldier. You didn't have a hat, but you were giving the right salute. What happened ? I'm still the same old flag. Oh I've added a few more stars since you were a boy , and lot more blood has been shed since those parades of long ago. But now, I don't feel as proud as I used to feel. When I come down your street, you stand there with you hands in your pockets. you may give me a small glance, And the small children don't seem to know who I am. I saw a man take his hat off, then looked around didn't see anyone else so he quickly put it back on. Is it a sin to be patriotic today??? Have you forgotten what I stand for??? and where I have been Guadalcanal, Korea and Vietnam!!! Take a look at the memorial honors and see the names of those Americans who gave their lives to keep us free. When you salute me you are saluting them.. Well it won't be lone till I'll come down your street again so when you see me place your hand over your heart and I will salute you by waving back!

[CTRL] Kennedy through Bush documents released
-Caveat Lector- WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI) -- The National Security Council has decided to declassify 1,624 previously secret historical documents from the Kennedy through Bush administrations. The documents -- policy directives and memorandums between the presidents and their national security advisers -- will be listed on the NSC's Web site, but anyone interested in reading them will have to contact the appropriate presidential libraries. Not all the documents have been fully declassified and released yet. According to the White House, the documents ``provided guidance to the appropriate agencies and departments for the execution and formulation of national security policy. For the 1961-1993 time period, the documents comprise the most important record of the national security policies of the United States.'' No similar set of documents exists for the earlier Truman and Eisenhower administrations, the NSC reports. The NSC Web site is (www.whitehouse.gov/WH/EOP/NSC/html/historical/). -- "Those who want to hear the voice of pagan gods in wind or thunder, who want to see the fairies dance in the moonlight, who can believe that faith can move mountains, can follow the thread on the pages of this book. It is a fragile thread; it cannot bear the weight of facts and dates" -Kate Seredy, "The White Stag" ICQ: 9815080 Operator Taliesin_2 of #SacredNemeton on IRC PaganPaths DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] CTRLs LEE alleged agenda discussed
-Caveat Lector- Andrew, Seems we meet again. This time, you want proof of what I say. Would you settle for words from "THE HORSES MOUTH" instead of mine? But first, let me say one thing. This list does not allow anti-Semitic statements or Holocaust denials. Am I correct? With that in mind, I am not Anti-Semitic; I like Arabs just fine. I do not much care for people that claim to be Jewish and are not. Those that choose to call themselves "Jews" today, are no more Jewish than a Billy Goat can claim to be a Horse. The Jewish author, Arthur Koelster, in his Thirteenth Tribe goes to great length to explain this FACT. That YOU, SIR, do not believe him, is not my problem. As for the Holocaust, there are doubts about the number of Jewish dead. I have no doubt that Jews died in WWII; the how, where and number is confusing to me, since, it seems, the only ones that benefit from death just happens to be Jews; Israel receives 3-4 billion dollars a year from America for this Holocaust, even though Americans did not do it if it was done at all. Andrew, are YOU the list master? If not, then you have no bitch with me. If you are, then remove me. Just remember, truth will rule eventually, and either you or me will have more egg on our face than we can ever remove. With that in mind, I offer you a couple of articles I've come across in my studies. John Lee -*** *** Number 1: "A REAL CASE AGAINST THE JEWS" by MARCUS ELI RAVAGE The following article, "A REAL CASE AGAINST THE JEWS", was written by Marcus Eli Ravage, a JEWISH writer who "worshipped at the feet of the Rothschilds (the Jewish bankers) as their approved biographer." It appeared in THE CENTURY MAGAZINE, JANUARY 1928. This is an exact transcription. Look it up at any major library if you doubt its existence or contents. Read it carefully and you will understand why we choose to print this here. ---Of course, you do resent us. It is no good telling me you don t. So let us not waste any time on denials and alibis. You know you do, and I know it, and we understand each other. To be sure, some of your best friends are Jews, and all that. I have heard that before once or twice, I think. And I know, too, that you do not include me personally - "me" being any particular individual Jew - when you fling out at us in your wholesale fashion, because I am, well, so different, don t you know, almost as good as one of yourselves. That little exemption does not, somehow, move me to gratitude; but never mind that now. It is the aggressive, climbing, pushing, materialistic sort you dislike - those, in a word, who remind you so much of your own up-and-coming brethren. We understand each other perfectly. I don t hold it against you. Bless my soul, I do not blame anybody for disliking anybody. The thing that intrigues me about this anti-Jewish business, as you play at it, is your total lack of grit. You are so indirect and roundabout with it, you make such transparent excuses, you seem to be suffering from self-consciousness so horribly, that if the performance were not grotesque, it would be irritating. It is not as if you were amateurs: you have been at it for over fifteen centuries. Yet watching you and hearing your childish pretexts, one might get the impression that you did not know yourselves what it is all about. You resent us, but you can not clearly say why. You think up a new excuse - a reason is what you call it - every other day. You have been piling up justifications for yourselves these many hundreds of years and each new invention is more laughable than the last and each new excuse contradicts and annihilates the last. Not so many years ago I used to hear that we were money-grubbers and commercial materialists; now the complaint is being whispered around that no art and no profession is safe against Jewish invasion. We are, if you are to be believed, at once clannish and exclusive and unassimilable because we won t intermarry with you, and we are also climbers and pushers and a menace to your racial integrity. Our standard of living is so low that we create your slums and sweated industries, and so high that we crowd you out of your best residential sections. We shirk our patriotic duty in wartime because we are pacifists by nature and tradition, and we are the arch-plotters of universal wars and the chief beneficiaries of those wars (see the late Dearborn Independent passim, and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion ). We are at once the founders and leading adherents of capitalism and the chief perpetrators of the rebellion against capitalism. Surely, history has nothing like us for versatility! And, oh! I almost forgot the reason of reasons. We are the stiff-necked people who never accepted Christianity, and we are the criminal people who crucified its founder. But I can
Re: [CTRL] Christian Identity undergoes a revival inarea,experts say
-Caveat Lector- Mr. Lee: If one makes an assertion of a historical fact and is challanged by another to show the basis of that assertion the providing of a long list of books to research, it should surprize no one that the person questioning the truth of that assertion remains unconvinced. Whether or not you are correct certainly interests me. However, I would hope that if, in fact, you have any truth to contribute to this forum, that you will provide more basis to your assertions than lists of books. As one who has, in fact, tried to verify through my own research some of the claims of those who rever Hitler, I feel that I have, in fact, done sufficient research to understand where you are coming from. I spent several months studying the claims of those who deny that the Nazis used gas chambers to kill masses of Jewish (and other) people. I studied especially the claims of David Irving and the Lectner report. In doing so, my understanding of the Hitler phenomana was greatly deepened. Exposure to the arguements of various "deniers" eventually convinced me that this whole thing was not a question of rationality, but of spirituality. Though previously I had little belief in demon possession, I eventually came to the realization that those who have embraced these beliefs have done so for reasons beyond any explanable by the use of logic. Exposure to the rituals of the SS and the occult basis of the Hitlerian philosophy has convinced me that those who have come under his sway are possessed by some sort of evil which I had not before understood to be possible. I pity them and you. Howard Davis -- From: John Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CTRL] Christian Identity undergoes a revival inarea,experts say Date: Fri, Jun 25, 1999, 4:43 AM -Caveat Lector- Dear Mr. Davis, Like I said, I'll not do your research for you. Read Mullins on the Federal Reserve; Red Fog Over America by Carr; Iron Curtain Over America by Beaty; Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Mullins; On The Horns of the Beast by Still; Pawns In The game by Carr; The Empire Of The City by Knuth; You Gentiles by Samuel, for starters. The German Central Bank before Hitler was a private bank as is our own Fed Res Bank. Hitler changed that. I'm not sure how Hitler traded with other countries. It may have been barter or it may have been gold and silver or other precious metals or stones. It is not necessary to be on a gold standard to use gold as a medium of exchange. Any "standard" merely guarantees there is enough of something that has a set value everyone agrees to that sets the value of exchange between nations or other entities. It could be salt, for that matter, or any other commodity suitable to all involved, thus a guaranteed standard of exchange exists. Hitler's, Lincoln's and Kennedy's treasury bills drew no interest for Bankers and, in my opinion, got these three killed. Also, bankers were not able to use the fractional reserve to increase their profits by margin of 10. Now then, I do not know everything about the area of history of which we speak. I do, however, know enough to believe Hitler was not what he is being propagandized as today. Agree or not, it doesn't matter to me. John Lee - Original Message - From: Howard R.

German currency was state owned and issued, based upon the assets and production of the nation, whereas Roosevelt's was from the Federal Reserve, a privately owned national bank, as it still is today. All money used in America and the world today is borrowed from some private bank. I am quite familiar with your basic thesis concerning the operation of central banks. However, you state the the German currency was state owned and issued and apparently not borrowed as is normal policy in the central bank system. This would as you suggested be similar to Lincoln's policy of issueing "greenbacks" which were neither borrowed or backed by specie. And, it would also be similar to what JFK did when he issued several hundred million dollars in Treasury notes not long before he was killed. However, I have never heard this assertion made previously and would like to know where you got this information and whether or not it is true. The Federal Reserve bank of the US was paterned after that of Germany's and one of the Warburg brothers ran it while the other pushed for the adoption of the system in the US. So, apparently they did have that system previous to Hitler's coming to power in 1933. If Hitler did end the central reserve banking system in Germany then that certainly would be a reason for certain of the
