Missing Financier Had In-House Harem

By BRIGITTE GREENBERG
.c The Associated Press

SHIRLEY, N.Y. (AP) - Martin R. Frankel roamed his Greenwich, Conn., estate in
his pajamas like the Hugh Hefner of high finance, keeping a live-in retinue
of young women he met through personal ads.

Frankel described some of them as ``ex-girlfriends,'' but it isn't clear how
many of the women he had sexual relationships with. At least some of the
women performed office work at Frankel's unlicensed securities brokerage.

The 44-year-old bachelor is believed to be hiding in Europe after vanishing
in May with perhaps billions of dollars in other people's money. He is
accused of looting insurance companies and a phony charity he set up in the
British Virgin Islands.

Citing unidentified sources, The Hartford Courant reported Tuesday that
Kaethe Schuchter is believed to be traveling with Frankel. Before he
disappeared, he reportedly wired nearly $1 million to a New York City travel
agency, where he kept an account in her name.

Long before Frankel disappeared and the international manhunt began, police
got a glimpse of his personal life, including his alleged penchant for
sadomasochistic sex, while investigating a suicide at the compound.

On Aug. 8, 1997, Frances Burge was found hanged with a rope from the back
deck of one of two mansions on Frankel's compound. The death was ruled a
suicide.

Ms. Burge, 22, was Frankel's houseguest. She had responded to an ad in the
Village Voice in the summer of 1996. Frankel sent a limousine to pick her up
in Shirley at the small house with the crumbling front porch where Ms. Burge
lived with her father, Clarence.

Clarence Burge has declined to comment on his daughter's death. Ms. Burge's
mother, Gabriella, who lives nearby, said that the young woman's life was
never the same after she answered the ad.

According to Frankel, that first meeting was rocky.

``Frances did not look as I expected,'' he told police after her death. ``She
was overweight but was a nice person. During that evening, Frances had taken
her clothes off and wanted to have sex. I did not want to.''

Ms. Burge told her mother that Frankel had asked her to strip.

In any event, Ms. Burge became part of Frankel's circle and later moved into
one of his two Greenwich homes.

``She said that he had met somebody, and he was, like, telling her that she
was so smart. She just loved that,'' Mrs. Burge said. ``I said, `You have to
be careful about people conning you, people who tell you you're so
special.'''

Like many of Frankel's followers, Ms. Burge appeared to have light duties, if
any. Frankel told police Ms. Burge was a ``general helper.'' She told her
mother she was working as an office assistant. She told friends that she was
giving him investment advice.

Frankel's bodyguard, David Rosse, told police that his employer was a
benefactor to numerous women he met over the Internet and through personal
ads. Many were allowed to stay at the mansions.

``Some of these girls think that they might be my girlfriend someday,''
Frankel told police. ``The girls do not get paid a salary, but I give them
money as they need it.''

The exact number of Frankel's women is unknown. A former housekeeper put the
total number of workers at the residences at 100, including office and
domestic staff.

Denise Paladino, a friend who worked with Ms. Burge at a Shirley video store,
said Ms. Burge came back to town one day and announced that she had found a
new job. Ms. Burge said she was working for a wealthy older man who wandered
the two estates in his pajamas.

``My impression was that he was a Hugh Hefner type,'' Ms. Paladino said.
``His money was spent on the people who worked for him, and she could do
whatever she liked.''

By all accounts, Ms. Burge was a confused and complicated woman before she
became one of Frankel's attendants. Her father told police his daughter had
been hospitalized twice for depression. Friends said she was taking
medication, seeing a psychiatrist, and sometimes told distressing tales of a
suicide attempt and a lost baby.

After Ms. Burge's suicide, police searched her room on the Frankel estate.
They found a film and literature on sexual bondage, a leather riding crop and
ropes. They also found a pad with a handwritten draft of an ad that began:
``Young woman looking for a special relationship with that special kinky fun
erotic person.''

Mrs. Burge told The New York Times that her daughter was trying to learn
about sadomasochism. The young woman had said she had gone with some of
Frankel's other girlfriends to a racy New York nightclub called The Vault.

Neither Ms. Burge's family nor police blame Frankel for her death. But
friends such as Ms. Paladino are surprised that Ms. Burge would kill herself.
Ms. Paladino recalled that her friend had stopped by the video store

Team Finds Less Damage in Kosovo

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
.c The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - The first World Bank team to assess reconstruction needs in
Kosovo found significantly less damage to homes, power plants and roads than
earlier thought.

And even in heavily damaged areas, bank official Rory O'Sullivan said Monday,
many villages have quickly returned to near normal operations.

``Electricity is operating in most places. ... Telephone systems are working,
many water supply systems are working. Road access is pretty widespread
throughout Kosovo,'' O'Sullivan said. ``You see farmers at work. You see
tractors on the streets.''

He said major damage, from looting and vandalism by Serb forces before they
withdrew and from the 78-day NATO bombing campaign, was confined to the
province's western part. The eastern sections escaped relatively unscathed,
O'Sullivan said.

O'Sullivan and other World Bank officials spoke to reporters on the eve of
the first meeting of a coordinating group composed of finance ministers from
the world's seven largest economies and representatives from the 15-nation
European Union, the United Nations, the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund.

The Clinton administration, represented at Tuesday's discussions in Brussels,
Belgium, by new Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, has said Europe should
bear the bulk of reconstruction costs. The United States shouldered a bigger
share of the burden in NATO's campaign of airstrikes to force Yugoslav
President Slobodan Milosevec to withdraw his forces from Kosovo.

On Monday in Brussels, however, German Finance Minister Hans Eichel said aid
coming from Europe should not threaten the continent's commitment to budget
austerity. That is a key plank in its effort to defend the value of the euro,
the joint currency launched this year by 11 European nations.

Asked about earlier estimates that Europe was willing to spend around $493
million annually on reconstructing Kosovo, Eichel said that, pending a more
formal assessment of needs, ``there are no serious official numbers.''

O'Sullivan told reporters in Washington that given his initial assessment of
lesser damage to the region's roads and other infrastructure, he would put
reconstruction needs at the ``lower end of the spectrum of estimates.''

Previous reports put a price tag of between $3 billion and $5 billion on
reconstruction needs in Kosovo over a three-year period.

O'Sullivan said a more specific assessment could not be made until completion
of the World Bank's initial damage survey by the end of this month, in time
for the first donors' conference on July 28 in Brussels.

By comparison to the $3 billion to $5 billion initial estimate for rebuilding
Kosovo, the estimate for rebuilding nearby Bosnia has been put at $5 billion
over three to four years. Pledges from wealthy donor countries and the
international lending agencies now cover about three-fourths of that.

While the infrastructure damage in Kosovo is not so great as originally
feared, officials said that in some ways the job in Kosovo will be even
bigger than in Bosnia because Kosovo has nothing resembling a functioning
government with a budget.

``The real crisis is there is no budget in the country,'' O'Sullivan said.
``There is no money to pay to keep the electricity operating, the coal mines
operating, the water systems operating.''

He said much of the international assistance that is raised will go to paying
the salaries of doctors, teachers and municipal workers to keep essential
services operating.

The World Bank, which has pledged about $60 million for Kosovo relief over 18
months, said it would send a team back into the areas this week for further
on-site inspections. Its initial assessment of lighter damage supported views
expressed by the United Nations and other international agencies.

In a report released last week, damage to housing and water resources was
labeled as severe in only 141 of Kosovo's approximately 2,000 villages. The
U.N. report said 35 percent of the homes in Kosovo were damaged, but only a
small percentage were destroyed.

World Bank officials said returning Kosovo Albanian refugees are not waiting
for international relief to help in the rebuilding of their homes but are
picking through rubble for useable roof tiles and other building materials.

President Clinton and other leaders decided at their annual economic summit
last month in Germany to help rebuild Kosovo but to limit assistance to
Serbia to humanitarian aid as long as Milosevic remains in power.

Gap Between Rich, Poor Said Growing

By NAOMI KOPPEL
.c The Associated Press

GENEVA (AP) - Technology advances may be improving life for many people
around the world, but they are also widening the gap between rich and poor,
according to a U.N. report released today.

An international effort is needed to meet the needs of poor people in areas
of medical research, communications and information technology, according to
the 1999 Human Development Report.

Researchers with the U.N. Development Program examined income, education,
life expectancy and health care in assessing the quality of life in 174
countries.

Among their findings were that purchasing a computer would cost the average
Bangladeshi eight years' income, while the average American would pay one
month's wage.

Eighty percent of all websites are in English, but only one person in ten
worldwide speaks English, the report continued.

Even in more established means of communications the researchers found a gap
between rich and poor.

In the principality of Monaco in 1996 there were 99 telephone lines per 100
people, while in Cambodia the figure was one. People in Switzerland make an
average of six hours of international telephone calls per year, but in
Pakistan the average is one minute.

``This (technology) is a two-edged sword - it is cutting many people in, but
it is increasingly cutting many people out,'' the report's author Richard
Jolly told reporters.

Jolly said people using the Internet were increasingly young, white, male and
well-educated.

The report also ranks the countries and territories in a human development
index based on real income, life expectancy and educational standards.

Canada tops the list for the sixth year running, followed by Norway and the
United States. The bottom 22 countries on the list are all in Africa, with
Sierra Leone coming last.

The top 20 percent of the world's population earned 74 times as much as the
bottom 20 percent. In 1960 it was 30 times as much.

``The 200 richest people in the world have more money than the combined
income of the lowest 40 percent of the world's population,'' said Jolly.

Globalization did not necessarily make the situation worse, but Jolly said
governments should take into account more than just trade issues when they
consider international policy.

The report says international policy making must balance a concern for
profits with a concern for people who have been affected by turmoil in the
global marketplace.

It is also important to find a comprehensive approach to global threats such
as HIV infection, international crime, human rights abuses by multinational
corporations and transnational pollution such as acid rain.

``The aim is to put human concerns at the center of the globalization debate,
to focus on the global interdependence of people and not just of financial
flows,'' added Jolly.


UN: Internet helps create parallel societies

By Evelyn Leopold

UNITED NATIONS, July 12 (Reuters) - When leaders of an attempted coup against
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev seized radio and television stations in
1991, Russians used a fledgling computer and facsimile network to disseminate
calls for resistance to defeat the revolt.

Within a few years, use of the Internet exploded, opening a fast track to
knowledge and communications.  But fewer than 3 percent of Russians today
have access to it, says the 1999 Human Development report, released by the
U.N. Development Programme (UNDP) on Monday.

And in Bangladesh, buying a computer would cost the average person more than
eight years' income compared with just one month's wage for the average
American.

Some 88 percent of the world's Internet users -- 143 million in 1998 and a
predicted 700 million in 2001 -- are in wealthy industrial nations with the
United States having more computers than the rest of the world combined

The current Internet user, for example, is male, 35 years old or younger,
college-educated, English-speaking and more often than not a resident of the
United States, where 26 percent of the population use the World Wide Web.

The Internet, an example of the shrinking global village, at the same time
shows up glaring inequalities in the world economy, with rich countries
getting richer and new developments outpacing the ability of the poor nations
to deal with them, the report said.

Re: [CTRL] HIV/AIDS hypothesis

1999-07-13 Thread Lloyd Miller





Lloyd Responds interspresed 
below:

Duesbergs argument is based on the 
hypothesis that the institutions that were set up to fight Nixons 
War on Cancer have perpetuated themselves with the Fight against 
AIDS. In doing so they have hung up the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis as the 
only one because it is consistent with their view of disease, that virus's 
or bacteria cause disease, in this day and age. (Duesberg ch six, page 168, 
A Fabricated Epidemic, and page 83 Phantom Viruses and Big 
Bucks)

Lloyd Sez: More likely is that the 
virus was created at the Fort Derrick biological warfare project. That 
is how Gallo knew it was
the cause of AIDS without a 
study...the virus doesn't conform to normal disease parameters per Deusburg 
because it is artificial! AIDS
is already achieving the National Security Dictatorship's goals in 
Africa. The latest reports show a dramatic decrease in population 
growth. The whole genocidal environmentalist and population control 
movement whose precursor was the racist eugenics movement is sponsored by 
the super-rich Corporate Masters through their foundationsjust look at 
the grants of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund on the www

Of course this supports in part by 
the hypothesis of a conspiracy, however, what are the links to the 
Governments attempts at Population Control?

Lloyd Sez: Population control was defined as a National 
Security Issue by Kissinger during the Nixon 
Administration. They know exactly what they are doing.

Perhaps it is the large drug 
manufacturer's themselves, seeking to increase their markets by 
sponsoring theories that will result in giving them a market 
increase.

Lloyd: Of course! The large drug manufacturers control the 
government health bureaucracy to prevent competition and maintain the 
environment for their profits.

Duesbergs hypothesis, conversely 
could be implemented by any number of professionals that can recommend a 
change in behaviour and diet. Thus any research in this hypothesis 
will not increase the drug market, or the income and power base of the 
medical research establishment i.e. CDC and major Universities. (ibid.. 
Appendix B page 505)

Lloyd Responds: Of course!

Adam Smiths self interest has 
resulted in this case, a failure to identify the safest path for the 
community, and the world as a whole.

Lloyd Responds: No, Adam Smith explicitly predicted that 
capitalists conspire every time they get together and realized that only 
unregulated competition can keep them honest. Adam Smith didn't 
invent self-interest. Self-interest is inevitable, but 
_everyone_ has to exercise it not just STATE CAPITALISTS. No one 
should be fooled into accepting authorities put in place by 
force and fraud. Democacy was designed as a fraud for an elite to 
obtain the consent of the governed. FACE IT! The people accept 
the Drug Cartel because they think it is government regulated! What 
FOOLS!

The Population Control Hypothesis has 
also been attached to the horrible conflicts in Africa, where the West 
has ignored

Lloyd Sez: Ignored? No, 
planned the deaths of millions of people for National Security reasons! 


the plight of millions of 
people. It is instructive to observe these events, and determine 
whether a conspiracy exists or it is the behaviour of the institutions 
and individuals towards greed and power, rather than what benefits the 
country or people as a whole on our Judeo Christian ethics or the basic 
tenets of the US Declaration of Independence.

I don't believe that abolishing the CDC 
and its like will solve the problem, it goes deeper than that.

In 1994, Chinese Army General Ding Henggao, and his team of two
sub-commanders, Lt. General Shen Rougjun and Lt. General Huai
Guomo, led the most spectacular raid of U.S. military technology
since the 1949 atomic espionage by Soviet spies, Ethel and
Julius Rosenberg.

However, secret documents forced from the Commerce Dept. by a
Federal lawsuit, proves that the Clinton administration sought
direct military exports to China.  The documents detail Commerce
Dept. contacts with a Chinese Army unit called COSTIND, or the
Chinese Commission on Science, Technology and National Defense
Industry.

The newly released information includes a detailed bio of
COSTIND General Huai Guomo, a personal letter to COSTIND
commander, General Ding Henggao, and a letter from U.S. defense
contractor, Allied Signal Corporation, seeking help for a jet
engine transfer to the Chinese "Harbin" aerospace company.

According to materials sent to Commerce Secretary Ron Brown by
Chinese Army General Ding, "HARBIN" is owned by the Chinese
Army.  Harbin currently manufactures fighters and bombers for
the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and for export to
Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and Iran.

The detailed documents included two pages of information on
Chinese General Huai Guomo in both English and Chinese.  Huai
Guomo, according to the Clinton administration, is "a career
administrator in China's defense industrial complex" and the
very model of a modern Chinese General.

General Huai's credits include joining the Chinese communist
party in 1953 and working in the PLA "nuclear industry".  Huai
reportedly "impressed" his U.S. Defense "counterparts" over the
years as a "competent, professional as well as a cordial
individual to work with."

Another key document previously withheld from public view is a
1995 letter from Defense Secretary William Perry to General Ding
Henggao of COSTIND.

"On behalf of the United States Department of Defense," wrote
Secretary Perry in July 1995.  "I extend my regard to the
officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army's
Commission on Science, Technology and Industry for National
Defense on the 46th Anniversary of the founding of the People's
Republic of China."

"Advancing the military relationship between our two nations
remains an objective which we agree serves the long-term
interests of peace and stability the Asia-Pacific Region," wrote
Perry.

"In the area of air traffic control.  We have accomplished Step
5 of the Eight Point Air Traffic Control Initiative, and are
prepared to carry our Step 6 by sending a delegation to China at
any mutually agreed upon time in the future.  Upon completion of
Step 6, we would welcome a combined civil-military air traffic
control delegation from China to the United States which will
mark Step 7 of the Eight Point Plan."

"Let me close by again conveying my respects to you on your
National Day," wrote Perry.  "And by reiterating my support for
our bilateral military relationship."

Clearly, the Commerce Dept.'s vain attempt in 1998 to dispute
the fact COSTIND was not a Chinese Army unit was another White
House spin effort that failed.  COSTIND, to Defense Secretary
Perry, was indeed a military unit, commanded by General Ding and
manned by "officers and soldiers" of the PLA.

In 1998, the Commerce Dept. denied access to all China-Gate
documents, citing national security, on the grounds that they
could "neither confirm nor deny" their existence.  In response,
this reporter filed suit in Federal Court, located in Richmond,
Virginia, seeking the withheld information.

Previously released information, forced from the Clinton
administration using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
clearly showed meetings between Commerce officials and COSTIND.
For example, one document described an August 1994 meeting in
Beijing that included COSTIND General Shen, Commerce Secretary
Ron Brown, and Loral CEO, Bernard Schwartz.

The evidence showed that the Commerce Dept. was withholding
details on "military" exports directly to the Chinese Army.
The Commerce Dept. is not authorized to issue export licenses to
military end-users.

The recently released information on the PLA Generals was
withheld from the American public until Federal Judge Robert
Payne ordered the materials to be released in a ruling issued on
June 29, 1999.

The documents underscore the Clinton administration's attempt to
form a political/military alliance with communist China.  U.S.
Defense Perry could not help but include direct references to a
"bilateral" military relationship.

The Clinton/China military relationship included the "Eight
Point Plan" to transfer a state-of-the-art air defense system
directly to the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).  The
air defense technology transfer to the PLAAF, according to 1998
GAO testimony on U.S.  military sales to China, required a
waiver signed by President Clinton.

Today's Lesson From Silent Coup

by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin


Rather than experiencing a crisis of the soul and veering to the left,
at Yale Bob Woodward became ever more closely tied to the establishment
environment in which he had been raised. For decades, Yale had been a
prime recruiting ground for the Central Intelligence Agency; professors
and athletic team coaches would openly seek candidates for the Agency.
The Navy, too, considered Yale good hunting grounds on which to find
future officers. Many graduates who did not go into the Navy or the CIA
often filled important posts in the government or in business, and all
of these constituted an "old boy network" to rival those of the
graduates of Oxford and Cambridge among the ruling elite of Great
Britain. In many ruling elites, a large proportion of the members are
initiated into the networks through secret societies. Legendary secret
societies have long been a fixture of Yale life, mysterious, closed
fraternities that enjoyed connections to powerful government figures who
had been members in their own college days. Bob Woodward was "tapped" to
join Book and Snake in his junior year.

Though Book and Snake was not as well known as Skull and Bones, which
counts George Bush among its members, "It is certainly among the top
four," says Yale professor Robin Winks, author of Cloak and Gown, which
documented Yale's ties to the intelligence community in the years
1939-1961. No evidence has emerged that Woodward was recruited from Book
and Snake for the intelligence community, but from his year in Book and
Snake he got a good grounding in an environment founded on secrecy,
exclusivity, and the burnishing of old boy network ties. Founded in the
1880s and based on the Italian secret societies, those at Yale each have
their own building, usually a windowless structure designed to keep its
activities secret. The Book and Snake building is adjacent to the law
school library, and across from a cemetary, and has a marble facade that
makes it resemble a mausoleum.

No Place for Bank Secrecy in the New World Order

BCCI prosecutor attacks offshore havens


The New York district attorney who successfully prosecuted the collapsed
Bank of Credit and Commerce International called yesterday for an end to
all bank secrecy laws.


Speaking at a conference marking the first anniversary of the Financial
Services Commission in the island of Jersey, John Moscow said banking
and corporate secrecy laws had to be abolished if the rule of law was to
be established in the new world order.


"It is apparent that the economies of the world have become a unified
global economy in which some countries are better able than others to
participate and we need a new set of rules," he said. "Thomas Jefferson
said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. If we are to stop the
criminals getting control of the world we must change and adapt to the
times."


He added: "Today's bank secrecy statutes are used by criminals of all
types - they are not needed by honest folk engaged in honest
transactions."


Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands between England and France.
The islands are British Crown territories with wide law-making powers.
Mr Moscow, deputy chief of the investigations division of the New York
district attorney's office, has been highly critical of the Channel
Islands in the past, though in recent months he has said they were
co-operating effectively with other regulatory authorities.


However, he remained critical of other countries where he considered
laws could facilitate money laundering. He said the world could no
longer afford "legal quirks" such as the Cayman Islands, Antigua and the
Netherlands Antilles.


Howard Davies, chairman of the UK's Financial Services Authority, told
the conference he had no reason to question last year's "well timed and
well judged" UK report into financial regulation in the Channel Islands
and Isle of Man, which was generally benign in its comments on the
islands.


Jersey appeared to have "little to fear from heightened interest among
global decision makers in the activities of financial institutions

Offshore centres are being studied by one working party of the Financial
Stability Forum set up by Group of Seven countries and international
regulators.


Mr Davies predicted that "the standards of regulation which will be
demanded in the future will be higher than they were in the past".


Mr Moscow's views were strongly opposed by Richard Thomas, director of
public policy at Clifford Chance, the law firm. Formerly with the UK
Office of Fair Trading and the International Consumer Council, he said
it would be heading down "a slippery slope" to abandon bank secrecy
laws. "Confidentiality remains at the heart of the banking
relationship," he said.

Foreword


By Dr Brian Gladman, Crypto Policy Co-ordinator, Cyber-Rights and
Cyber-Liberties (UK).

A few centuries ago trade began to develop on a world scale because the
human race finally mastered the high seas. But there were no laws
governing proper conduct and piracy became commonplace. Stealing other
people's goods became widespread and, worse still, many major European
powers secretly supported pirates to plunder the ships and the trading
routes of other Nations. So State sponsored piracy became commonplace.

In time, however, the European powers slowly began to realise that this
practice was damaging their own interests by allowing the long term
benefits of world trade to be subverted for the short term national
gains secured through piracy. These nations hence moved to abandon
piracy and agreed to respect the right to own, transport and trade goods
on the high seas. The rule of law became established for the benefit of
all.

Cyberspace is now emerging as a new global trading environment and one
where, sadly, the behaviour of Nations mirrors that seen previously. As
yet there are no laws governing conduct in cyberspace and as a result
State sponsored piracy has again become the norm. The Nations that
dominate cyberspace show no respect for the information assets of
others, which are stolen without a second thought. Moreover, actions are
also taken to ensure that the 'weak' in cyberspace remain weak by
denying them any means of protection.

But Electronic Commerce on a global scale cannot truly thrive in a
cyberspace where information piracy and disrespect for the information
assets owned by others are acceptable forms of behaviour. Commerce in
cyberspace can only emerge when the major powers abandon sponsored
'information piracy' and agree to respect the rights of all cyberspace
users to own and protect their information assets.

It seems inevitable that things will move in this direction: eventually
'information piracy' will be outlawed but, if past experience is any
indicator it will be the 'biggest bully on the block' - the US now, the
UK in days gone by - that will be the last to take this step (and,
paradoxically, the biggest beneficiary).

So, although export controls on

 Many Government Notes Servers Found to Leak Information

7.07.1999
Many Government Notes servers leak information to anonymous users. L0pht
and other security groups were sent information about vulnerable
government Notes servers. The anonymous sender was concerned that he or
she was not getting any action from the webmasters of the sites. We took
a look and saw that it was true. User names, log files, lists of files,
and sometimes even private information was accessible all anonymously
over the web.

The L0pht has written numerous advisories on the subject of anonymous
access to Lotus Notes servers. Before deploying any Notes server make
sure that all anonymous access is turned off.

 Army Site Was Warned About Vulnerability

6.30.1999
The latest Army web site to be attacked, www.army.mil, was warned about
their Cold Fusion vulnerability 2 months ago. The L0pht even sent the
webmaster a personal email about the problem. It appears that the Army
only fixed one of the machines in their web farm so the other one
remained vulnerable. We never received a response from them.

The majority of hackers want sites to be secure. That is why we
published the the advisory and even sent personal emails to the
webmasters of high profile vulnerable sites. It is too bad that the
media usually writes about the few malicious hackers who vandalize sites
and not those trying to improve the state of Internet security.

MSNBC has the story. They do mention the fact that the Army was warned
about the problem whereas all the other media coverage doesn't mention
this fact.

China warns Taiwan leader to stop talking independence
Copyright © 1999 Nando Media
Copyright © 1999 Associated Press
By JOE McDONALD

BEIJING (July 13, 1999 9:30 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - China
heightened its attacks on Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui on Tuesday,
accusing him of pursuing independence for the island.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said Lee was taking "extremely
dangerous steps. She repeated Beijing was ready to use force to block
formal independence for the island, which it regards as a renegade
province.

Beijing was outraged by Lee's comments to German radio station Deutsche
Welle that China and Taiwan have "state-to-state" dealings. The
characterization runs counter to Beijing's insistence that Taiwan is part
of China.

Taiwan and the mainland have been separated since a civil war 50 years ago,
but both say they intend one day to reunite.

"We hope that Lee Teng-hui and the Taiwan authorities will stop all
activities and remarks aimed at splitting the motherland," Zhang said at a
regular news briefing.

The state-run Xinhua News Agency accused Lee of deliberately spoiling a
recent easing of tensions between Taiwan and the mainland.

Taiwan said Monday that by labeling their dealings "state-to-state
relations" it aimed to encourage more constructive talks with Beijing.

"We hope the Taiwan authorities will not underestimate the firm resolve of
the central government to safeguard the sovereignty, dignity and
territorial integrity of our country, and will not underestimate the
strength of courage of the Chinese people in the fight against separatism
and Taiwan independence," Zhang said.

Lee, who won Taiwan's first free presidential election in 1996, has said he
will consider eventual reunification only after the mainland becomes
democratic.

Chinese officials and state media have not resorted to such direct
criticism of Lee since the 1996 elections, when Beijing launched war games
and missile tests near Taiwan to intimidate voters.

Zhang did not say whether the latest disagreement would affect plans for
China's top negotiator with Taiwan, Wang Daohan, to visit the island's
capital, Taipei, later this year.
However, she noted a statement by Wang that Lee's comments had "wiped out
the foundation for contacts" and said he was waiting for clarification from
Taiwan.

"We do not undertake to give up the use of force, which is by no means
directed against our compatriots in Taiwan. It is rather against the
attempts by foreign forces to interfere in China's reunification hopes and
for Taiwan independence," she said.

[CTRL] George Washington: Deadbeat Dad and Rapist? [NewsMax]

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

George Washington: Deadbeat Dad and Rapist?

Americans know George Washington as the father of their country. But now the
New York Times wants to know: Was he the father of West Ford?

As the Times reported last Wednesday, Ford was born in 1784 or 1785 to a
slave named Venus who lived on the Virginia estate of Washington's
half-brother, John Augustine Washington. Now, two of West Ford's
descendants, Janet Allen and Linda Bryant, claim that the oral traditions
handed down in their family reveal that Ford was actually the illegitimate
son of Washington and Venus.

In fact, the alleged liaison seems to have been something less than
consensual. Bryant says that it was during Washington's April 1784 visit to
his brother's plantation that "Venus was made available to him for his
comfort."

In other words, George Washington, the man who legend has it could not tell
a lie, now stands accused of being a deadbeat dad - and even perhaps a
rapist?

So far this bizarre allegation has been the subject of at least two
substantial reports in the New York Times and one television interview by
CNBC's Brian Williams, who talked to Linda Bryant Friday night. That's some
pretty hefty coverage considering the question marks that hang over this
story.

As even the Times admits, there's absolutely no documentable evidence that
Washington and Venus ever met. Nor is there any record that he ever visited
the estate where she lived. By all accounts, Washington was extremely
jealous of his reputation - making extramarital sex, let alone an encounter
with an unwilling slave-girl, even less likely.

And finally, as if this tale weren't already thin enough, historians have
long believed that George Washington was sterile. That notion is amply
supported by the fact that Martha Washington had four children by a previous
marriage yet none during her time with America's Founding Father.

Such serious media treatment of the George Washington love-child allegation
is even more astonishing considering the way the Times, NBC and almost all
the rest of the mainstream press declined to touch another recent report of
presidential paternity.

Last November NewsMax.com interviewed Lucille Bolton, the aunt and one-time
guardian of Little Rock teen Danny Williams. Bolton revealed that Danny's
family was ready to seek proof that his mother, Bobbie Ann Williams, had
conceived him during one of thirteen sexual encounters she alleged with
then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton.

At the time, Williams' case was far more compelling than the one the Times
is currently touting against Washington.

First, all the principles were still alive and available for interviews.
Witnesses could and did place Clinton in Bobbie Ann's company. She and
Bolton both passed lie detector tests. Bobbie Ann could accurately describe
unique locations of her liaisons, such as the interior of the lakeside cabin
owned by Clinton's mother.

Moreover, Clinton and his aides treated the story from day one as if it were
true. After word leaked in late December that STAR magazine had Danny's
family under contract and intended to compare his DNA to Clinton's, denials
were not forthcoming. The history of the story also includes what looks like
a bribe to win the silence of Robert "Say" McIntosh, a Little Rock community
activist who first forced news of Danny into the public domain in the
mid-80s.

Just days away from the commencement of the President's impeachment trial,
the New York Post front paged news of the DNA test with the headline,
"Clinton Paternity Bombshell." White House watchers went wild with
speculation. But with the exception of the Post, others in the prestige
press, like the Times and NBC, refused to report a word.

Danny's DNA did not match Clinton's after all - or at least not the version
of Clinton's genetic material published by the Office of Independent Counsel
 in its impeachment report. When asked by NewsMax.com last January whether
Clinton's DNA information might have been altered in public documents for
national security reasons, an FBI Lab spokesman turned defensive and said,
"We're not going to answer a question like that."

Still, most consider STAR's Danny-Clinton DNA comparison to be conclusive.

Though if Danny were West Ford, the New York Times might require a
full-blown, court ordered DNA paternity test before it decided to drop the
story.

So, we agree that some form of government is always necessary or society
resorts to chaos.  But would you concede that the exercise of governmental
power does not always have to be oppressive?  Idolatry in any form is
probably not a good thing.  But I tend to be more pessimistic about the
ability of human beings to maintain their civil liberties/personal freedom
without the presence of government.  The question is what kind of
government shall we have?  A government that protects everyone's civil
liberties or the civil liberties of a few? Many of the folks on the list
are champions of the US Constitution, which I agree is a noble document,
but throughout most of the history of the United States, some of the most
aggregious practices known to man were committed while the Constitution
was in effect: existence of slavery, denial of full civil liberties to a
substantial portion of the population, etc.

Without the power of government to enforce the common good, society
reverts to a condition of chaos where the strong terrorize and brutalize
the weak.  Laissez-faire becomes a recipe for fascism.  Why?  Because
human beings are always willing to engage in one form of combine or
another to oppress their fellow citizens.  Only a powerful and strong
government can prevent injustice.  Otherwise, we are trapped in a
Hobbesian jungle...a war of all against all.


 "Why should the wealthiest of Americans eliminate something that serves
 the interests of monopoly capitalism so well?"

 The Plutocracy will never give up their wealth and power unless we're
 willing to give then an incentive to do so. "Monopoly capitalism" (a
 poplar contradiction in terms) doesn't exist. Only the State can
 maintain a monopoly and only if given the power to do so by an ignorant
 and lazy People.

I agree.  The state does maintain various economic monopolies of various
kinds.  That's because the state is the tool of private
interests...helping a few economic players maintain economic hegemony.


 "We haven't even touched on the issue of local governments, local
 politics...how local businessmen use the power of LOCAL governments to
 keep competition to a minimum"

 Statism is like cancer...it is difficult to stop and often ends in
 death. Unfortunately, most advocate more statism as an antidote.

Perhaps the problem is not a case of more versus less statism, but a focus
on what the state actually does.  We will have a government of some kind
or another, that's a given.  Then, it just becomes a matter of deciding
what kind of governmental policy can be adopted that serves the interests
of ALL of the nation's citizens, not just an affluent few.

 Robert Paul is my Christian appellation and I avoid the word Mrit

Sorry, Robert.


 "I remember very well how states, counties, and city municipalities
 would gleefully violate the civil rights of Americans with impunity."

 This is true...civil rights are easy to violate since they are mere
 (state given) privileges. Un-alienable rights is stronger ground to
 stand on, but against the almighty State no rights are possible.

On this point, I think you're overly optimistic about the ability of your
fellow citizens to recognize the un-alienable rights of their fellow
citizens.

Governor Faubus, Governor Wallace and Bull Connor weren't
particularly interested in the un-alienable rights of black Americans.
It took the power of an outside agency (that wicked old US government that
is always up to no good) to guarantee the civil liberties of ALL
Americans in the South.  The local authorities hated
the implementation of civil rights laws during that period; so much so,
that many Americans who were brave enough to insist on their
Constitutional rights would often end up at the bottom of a swamp.

Thank heaven for the United States government that places strict controls
on how the tax dollars are spent at the local level.  Why do I say that?

[CTRL] Should The U.S. Impose Limits On Incredibly Stupid Shit?

1999-07-13 Thread Hilary A. Thomas

 -Caveat Lector-

Should The U.S. Impose Limits On Incredibly Stupid Shit?


WASHINGTON, DC--With national stupid-shit consumption at an all-time high
and federal shit projections indicating sharply rising levels of stupidity
over the next decade and a half, a small but vocal group of lobbyists has
revived an old debate on Capitol Hill, calling for strict, federally
mandated limits on incredibly stupid shit.

Though every previous congressional effort to curb incredibly stupid shit
has met with failure, the sheer size of the current U.S. shit industry,
combined with the unmitigated stupidity of most of the shit it produces,
has once again raised the question: Should the U.S. impose limits on
incredibly stupid shit?

"The manufacture, marketing and distribution of stupid, worthless shit is
an unfortunate but unavoidable reality of any modern industrialized nation.
Nonetheless, the problem has gotten way out of hand here in America," said
C. Brian Mattson, a member of the Commerce Department's Advisory Board On
Stupid, Really Stupid  Incredibly Stupid Shit, testifying before Congress
Monday. "The time has come to face facts: Without some sort of cap on
America's unchecked stupid-shit production, we face a crisis of diminished
intelligence within the national discourse that threatens to bury our
society under a tidal wave of crap the likes of which the world has never
seen."
Evidence of the rise in U.S. shit-industry output--musical sun visors,
Austin 3:16 foam can coolers, PepsiMan II videogames for the Sony
PlayStation, and new toilet-training-postponement diapers for toddlers
previously thought to be well over the age at which one should be allowed
to continue defecating in one's pants--is everywhere. Yet the prospect of
federally legislated shit-stupidity limits remains controversial, raising
many questions: In a free society, do citizens have a constitutional right
to be as stupid as they wish? How stupid is too stupid? What about the
enormous profits generated by incredibly stupid shit? And are limits even
realistic given the ever-growing consumer demand for stupider and stupider
shit?

Many say regulatory efforts would prove ineffective. "Sure, everybody would
like to see smarter shit on the market," U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS)
told reporters, "but it doesn't sell. We're talking about knee-jerk,
'feel-good' legislation that is unenforceable in practice."

Pausing to suck briefly on the tongue of a Jar Jar-shaped candy item
impulse-purchased at a D.C.-area Walgreens, Brownback continued: "If people
didn't want to waste their money on all this stupid crap, they wouldn't. In
a free-market economy, manufacturers who wish to remain competitive must
keep stupider and stupider shit in constant supply."

Standing in opposition to Brownback and others is the San Francisco-based
group Citizens For Federal Shit Limits, which is calling for stricter
federal regulation of incredibly stupid shit. Formed in May 1998 after the
so-called "shocked and amazed lady" from "that one psychic-phone-line
commercial" also started appearing in late-night ads touting an exciting
new way to save big money on your phone bill--a "crisis moment" that served
as "a major wake-up call" to anti-stupid-shit activist groups throughout
the nation--Citizens for Federal Shit Limits estimates that U.S. shit is 65
percent stupider than in 1980.

Wishing to remain realistic in its goals, CFSL is not calling for limits on
any of the nation's "stupid" or "really stupid" shit, asking the government
only to cap the most dangerous, "incredibly stupid" forms of shit currently
on the market.

Citing such as examples as garbage-shaped food, pet horoscopes,
pseudo-mystical "Win The Lotto" scented aerosol sprays, and "Taco Bell
Chihuahua" T-shirts, CFSL director Kurt Bergeron said steps must be taken
to curb stupidity now.

"Look at this ridiculous piece of unadulterated plastic junk," said
Bergeron, randomly picking up an object from the shelves of a Bay Area
Spencer Gifts, where the group staged a press conference and protest. "Just
look at it! A magnetized Monica Lewinsky face that says, 'Interns Suck'?
What kind of a human being would buy this? And why does it need to glow in
the dark? I ask you, does that make sense? Where does it all end? Has the
entire planet gone insane?"

Despite the outcry from the CFSL and other groups, many experts contend
that any effort to pass shit-limiting legislation is doomed to fail. The
U.S., they say, has become so dependent on incredibly stupid shit that
sustained, long-term economic growth cannot be ensured without the steady
influx of still-stupider shit. Some business owners, such as Bradley
Swearingen, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of Backstreet Boys fanny packs,
insist they would be driven out of business if incredibly-stupid-shit
limits were enacted.

"What am I opposed to tell my customers?" Swearingen said. "'Sorry,

[CTRL] Cisneros Aides' Charges Dropped

1999-07-13 Thread Hilary A. Thomas

 -Caveat Lector-

JULY 13, 11:19 EDT
Cisneros Aides' Charges Dropped
By MICHELLE MITTELSTADT
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The independent counsel prosecuting former Housing
Secretary Henry Cisneros has agreed to dismiss criminal charges against two
former aides who were to stand trial with the one-time Clinton Cabinet
member in September.

The action leaves Cisneros to stand trial alone on charges that he
conspired with ex-mistress Linda Jones and the two aides to conceal during
his Cabinet background check the scope of his financial payments to Ms.
Jones.

Sylvia Arce-Garcia and John Rosales, who followed Cisneros from San Antonio
to Washington when he became housing secretary, were indicted with Cisneros
in December 1997 on charges they conspired to conceal details of the
payments from FBI agents conducting Cisneros' Cabinet background check.

During a hearing Monday, prosecutors announced they will dismiss charges
against Ms. Arce-Garcia and Rosales within six months after the Cisneros
case is concluded provided that neither commits any crimes. Under the
arrangement, the two admitted no wrongdoing and made no commitment to
cooperate with the government's special prosecutors.

Ms. Jones, who is serving 3 1/2 years in prison after herself running afoul
of Independent Counsel David Barrett, is cooperating with the government
under a deal that could result in a sentence reduction.

Lawyers for Ms. Arce-Garcia and Rosales welcomed prosecutors' action.

``Sylvia pled not guilty due to her strong belief that she should never
have been charged,'' her lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said today.

``I am glad that the independent counsel has now seen fit to end this case
against her.''

``I have now been involved in perhaps my fifth or sixth case brought by
independent counsels that never would have been brought by experienced
career prosecutors,'' Lowell added. ``The end of the independent counsel
statute is a good thing for the American justice system.''

Jeffrey Gans, who represented Rosales, said he and his client were
``thrilled'' at prosecutors' decision to drop the charges.

``John can get back to his life without having the cloud of an indictment
hanging over his head,'' Gans said. ``It's been a tremendous weight lifted
from his shoulders, a weight not of his own creation.''

Rosales remained at the Department of Housing and Urban Development after
Cisneros left in 1996 and is an assistant to Housing Secretary Andrew
Cuomo. Ms. Arce-Garcia is a top aide to Cisneros, who is president of the
Spanish-language television network Univision.

The two were charged with one count each of conspiracy, and Rosales also
was charged with two counts of making false statements. Prosecutors had
hoped to convince the pair to become government witnesses, sources familiar
with the investigation said.

Barrett's office declined comment.

Cisneros acknowledged during his Cabinet background check that he gave Ms.
Jones financial support after their extramarital affair became public in
1988, costing her marriage and career as a political fund raiser. But
prosecutors contend he falsely told the FBI he never paid her more than
$10,000 annually.

The 18-count indictment against Cisneros alleges he paid her more than
$264,000 between 1990 and 1993. He has pleaded innocent.

[CTRL] NACCP to file lawsuit seeking gun industry changes

NAACP To File Lawsuit Seeking Gun Industry Changes


Updated 12:03 AM ET July 13, 1999
By Grant McCool
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The NAACP, the oldest and largest U.S. civil rights
group, said Monday it was filing a lawsuit "in an effort to break the backs"
of gun manufacturers that sell and distribute weapons across the country.

"They can't go and get a state legislature to stop us, they can't scare us,
they will now have to deal with us," The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) president and CEO Kweisi Mfume said in
his keynote address at the 90-year-old group's annual convention in New
York.

Mfume announced that the NAACP would be a plaintiff in the lawsuit to be
filed this week in federal court in New York, in response to state
legislatures in Louisiana, Georgia and Illinois barring cities and counties
from filing lawsuits against handgun makers.

Attorneys for the NAACP said it would be an injunctive lawsuit seeking to
change the way the gun industry does business and restrict sales at gun
shows. The lawsuit would not be for monetary gain.

"The NAACP makes it perfectly clear that we will be filing litigation ...
against the gun industry in an effort to break the backs of those who help
perpetuate the sale of weapons in our communities," Mfume said to loud
applause from delegates attending the six-day convention, which runs through
Thursday.

The civil rights organization's lawsuit follows the course already taken by
22 cities and municipalities, including Boston, Chicago and New Orleans to
use the courts to try to reduce gun-related violence and deaths.

Mfume cited shootings this year at the Columbine High School near Denver,
Colorado and the shooting spree of white supremacist Benjamin Smith in
Illinois 10 days ago. Authorities filed charges against Donald Fiessinger,
64, for allegedly selling Smith the guns he used to kill two and wound
several others.

Authorities said they believed Fiessinger had illegally peddled about 65
guns bought at gun shops over the past two years.

"When 65 guns are sold to one person, something is deadly wrong," Mfume said
in his speech Monday.

"The fact that illegal trafficking in firearms disproportionately affects
minority communities is indisputable," he added. "Urban communities have
sadly become accustomed to firearms in their neighborhoods, so much so that
too many of us are no longer shocked by the sound of gunfire outside of our
homes."

NAACP chairman Julian Bond said black males between the ages of 15 and 24
were five times as likely to be injured by firearms as white males of the
same age. He said black females were four times as likely to be injured as
white females. He said gunfire has been the leading cause of death of young
African-American males for more than 30 years.

"It is the members of the NAACP and the larger community of African
Americans we represent who are the greatest victims by far of this mindless
commerce and this mindless unregulated commerce in firearms," Bond said. "We
hope this litigation is the beginning of the end of this mindless
distribution of guns in our communities."

Gun manufacturers and lobbyists for the industry, including the National
Rifle Association (NRA), have fought back in state legislatures and in
Congress to block the lawsuits filed by various cities and municipalities
across the United States.

Last month, the NRA was singled out by President Clinton and other Democrats
for lobbying to defeat a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that
would have required three-day background checks of buyers at gun shows.



"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe
in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in 
anything
merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and 
analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and 
benefit
of one and all, accept it and live up to it."-The Buddha

30th Annual Meeting
 of the
National League of Families
of American Prisoners and Missing
in Southeast Asia

June 18, 1999

Washington Marriott Hotel
Washington, D.C.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for once again inviting me to address
your annual convention.  As I have told you in the past, this is always a
time of mixed emotions for me.  Of course, I'm always happy to see so many of
you that I've come to know through the years.  But at the same time, I'm sad
that continued Vietnamese intransigence and the U.S. Government's
foot-dragging on key elements of the POW/MIA issue causes you to have to
convene this 30th Annual Meeting.

Simply put, there has not been full disclosure by Hanoi about
unaccounted for American POWs and MIAs.  The facts speak for themselves.  We
have not had access to relevant POW information from the Communist Party
Central Committee --including Politburo, Military Affairs Committee, and
Secretariat level records from the war.  Why can't we see the records of the
internal briefings to North Vietnam's leadership during the war about how
many POWs they had really captured?  If they're not hiding anything, and
they've told the truth all these years about how many POWs they really held,
then why can't we see those documents?  We also have not had access to prison
records where some of your loved ones were known to have been held, and even
suspected to have been held, during the war.  We have not had full access to
Vietnamese wartime reporting on American POWs captured along the Ho Chi Minh
Trail in Laos, and at other locations in Laos, such as Lima Site 85, and Sam
Neua Province where several U.S. personnel remain unaccounted for.  And we
have not had a convincing and complete response from the Vietnamese
Government about the documents uncovered in the Russian archives in 1993 that
indicated Hanoi held more U.S. POWs than they repatriated in 1973.

Despite all of this, the President continues to certify to Congress
that Hanoi is fully cooperating in good faith.  As you may recall, this
Presidential certification is necessary in order for funds to be spent for
diplomatic relations.  I'm really not surprised that the President keeps
making this inaccurate certification in order to advance his normalization
agenda with Vietnam.

It's a sad irony that our U.S. Ambassador and Vietnamese Government
officials are here in town this week lobbying for more U.S.
taxpayer-subsidized trade benefits and working on a new trade deal, instead
of rolling up their sleeves over here, and really spending time with you to
discuss your concerns about the accounting effort for your loved ones.  I was
told this morning that last year, the Ambassador told you that you needed to
be "more patient."   Imagine that.  This is only your 30th annual meeting --
how much longer are you supposed to be patient?

This is really a sad and outrageous commentary on our foreign policy
toward Vietnam, and our Government's commitment to the POW/MIA issue -- and
you certainly don't need me to tell you that.  I know how you feel,
especially when you hear the rhetoric, as you have for far too many years
now, about how this is our highest national priority with respect to Vietnam.


If it's really been our highest national priority all of these years,
and if Vietnam is truly and fully cooperating in good faith, then why are
there so many remaining questions about more than 2,060 American servicemen
who never came home from the war in Southeast Asia?  You know the answer.
You know the answer all too well.

Despite all the work by dedicated military personnel working under
our Pacific Command, jointly investigating and excavating crash sites and
interviewing witnesses alongside Vietnamese Government personnel -- despite
all those efforts, they are not going to bring many of you the final answers
you deserve in the absence of serious high-level negotiations being conducted
by senior policy officials which are focused on what Hanoi can still do
unilaterally.  Why should the League of Families have to go to Hanoi, as your
leaders did last month, to beg for more unilateral cooperation?

When I announced my candidacy for President of the United States in
February this year, I made a pledge that I will repeat here today.  If the
American people put me in the White House, never again will you the families
have to beg our Government and Communist Governments abroad for answers about
your loved ones.  Never again.  Never again.

You know me.  And you know that in my case, actions speak louder than
words, especially on this issue.  You know how often I have stood

Clinton and 1922: Is History Repeating Itself?

By James Henry

No. 126,   5-11 July 1999

The ancient Romans said if you want peace, prepare for war. Somehow this is
also the downside of the better-known saying that history always repeats
itself.

Why?

Because it is not that history repeats itself at all, it's just that people
tend to repeat their mistakes. The great mistake America is repeating is to
forget that wise Roman saying. Under Clinton America has been preparing for
defeat. Peace comes through strength. In a pacific world the need for
military might would not exist. But we live, as we have done since time
immemorial, in a dangerous and uncertain world. A world in which powers rise
and fall.

In one sense, American power is unique because it springs from a country
that
was born into liberty. This uniqueness offers no protection against
aggression.

That can only come from fear. Make no mistake: might is fear and it is fear
that keeps democracy safe. It is fear that keeps potential enemies at bay,
not treaties.

Any treaty between a democracy and a tyranny is only as good as the ability
and willingness of that democracy to defend itself. Clinton has greatly
reduced this ability thus putting America in grave peril. Democracies are
dangerously pacific.

This means that once a democracy runs down its armed forces it can become
politically impossible to raise the funds to restore them to the appropriate
level.

There will always be siren voices telling us that there is no foreseeable
danger, which makes as much sense as saying that one should never try to
secure property until after it is stolen. The same voices use this
fallacious
argument to demand that any so-called social spending should always take
precedent over defence spending, which is really arguing that defence has no
social value.

That these arguments are largely articulated by the ant-capitalist Left and
its media allies comes as no surprise. This is the same group that considers
America an exploitative, racist and unjust country. The very same group
Kirkpatrick aptly called the "America-stinks crowd". Now it has found its
apogee in William Jefferson Clinton whose savaging of America's defense
capability could very well bring on this country another "day that will live
in infamy". Only this time it might be our epitaph.

A quick review of the serious damage that Clinton has done to this country's
defenses will strengthen my argument. Something like 2,000 combat aircraft
plus more than 232 bombers which comprised 20 air force and navy air wings
have been abolished. Also gone are 207 ships including more than 121 combat
ships plus of submarines and 4 carrier groups . The loss of these ships also
meant that their shipyard facilities and the trained personnel needed to
maintain them have been disbanded. The damage (or is it sabotage?) to the
army and the nation's nuclear inventory has been equally devastating.

This brings us to the disastrous 1922 Washington Conference. The
Anglo-Japanese Naval Treaty was to be renewed in 1922. As an alternative,
the
U.S. government proposed the Washington Conference that would limit
armaments.

With a little judicious arm-twisting the US government persuaded Britain to
abandon the Japanese relationship and sign a US treaty that would limit the
capital ship ratio for Britain, America and Japan to 5:5:3.  In addition, no
new warships over 35,000 tons were to be built and a massive number of
existing warships were to be scrapped. To placate the Japanese the treaty
denied Britain the right to build mainfleet bases north of Singapore while
America was denied the same right to build them west of Hawaii. To make
matters worse, in 1930 Hoover managed to persuade, in the name of peace,
Britain's labor government to make deep cuts to its naval forces.

The result was to break British naval power in the Pacific. There was no way
this ratio would allow Britain to maintain a significant presence in the
Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Gulf, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific.
Something had to give. Moreover, the treaty made it impossible for the
American fleet to quickly reach the British if they were attacked.  These
facts did not elude Japanese militarists who realised that this insane
treaty
opened up a military window of opportunity for them in Asia.

Thanks to this idiocy the British

 -Caveat Lector-

 March 20, 1775, Patrick Henry, St. John’s Church, Richmond Virginia:

“It is vain, sir, to extenuate the matter.  Gentleman may cry, peace, peace- but there 
is no peace.  The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the North will 
bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!  Our brethren are already in the 
field!  Why stand we here idle?  What is it that gentleman wish?  What would they 
have?  Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains 
and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others my take; but as 
for me, give me liberty or give my Death!”

Chains or Liberty?

The United States of America declared their political Independence from the political 
bands of the Britannic Majesty on or about July 4th, 1776.

This political union of the United Colonies was henceforth known as the United States 
of America.

This association of sovereign and independent States convened in a Continental 
Congress to handle issues of common interest.   Unfortunately without a constituted 
format, the thirteen States were unable to proceed within a structured political 
discourse.

The States created an Agency to represent their common interests, the United States.  
This agency’s limited and delineated authority was empowered in April 1781, by the 
unanimous acceptance by the thirteen United States of America of the Articles of 
Confederation.

The United States, as the Agent for the States united under the Articles of 
Confederation moved to establish the political, and commercial interests of the States 
as an equal amongst the Nations of the World.

The commercial interests of the States were tied to maritime trade, and the ability to 
establish lines of credit amongst their trading partners.  This required a Oceania 
Naval presence, and a sound fiscal policy amongst the States party to the 
confederation.

The political confederation amongst the States was failing in the middle 1780's.  The 
Continental, the paper currency created by the Congress of the United States was 
worthless.  The thirteen States abridged the exchange of good and services between the 
States with impositions of internal duties and imposts.  The thirteen States created 
thirteen variances of Letters and Bills of Credit.  The United States was powerless to 
adequately remedy the inconsistencies found throughout the Confederation of the United 
States of America.

The Congress of the United States of America, petitioned the States to convene a 
convention to remedy the problems that had brought about economic collapse and raised 
the spectra of Political instability.  Shay’s rebellion in Massachusetts awakened the 
political leaders of the pandemic resistance of the people to the abusive systems 
inherent in governmental organizations where all the parties of interest are not 
properly represented.
The Convention which convened in Philadelphia during the Spring of 1787, set about to 
remedy the apparent failures of the Confederation.  The States had created their 
Agency, the United States to represent it’s foreign affairs, and to coordinate the 
safety of the States from invasions of foreign enemies, and the warring Indian Nations.

The Confederation of States is a national association to represent the States only.  
The people had no voice beyond the State Legislature.   The State legislature picked 
it’s own delegates to attend the Congress of the United States, which was the 
controlling element of the United States.

The delegates to the Convention sought a Republican form of government whereas all 
parities of interest would be equally represented at the National level.  The parties 
of interest consist of the People within the exterior boundaries of the State, the 
State it self, and the United States.

The State was and is the agency of the People within the exterior boundaries of the 
geographical State.  In Maryland the State was created under the auspices of the 
Council of Safety in November of 1776 with the creation of the Maryland Declaration of 
Rights, which invoked the power and authority of the People’s inalienable rights to 
self government:

 Article 1. That all Government of right originates from the People, is founded in 
compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole; and they have, at all 
times, the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their Form of Government in 
such manner as they may deem expedient.

and declared the status of Maryland as a sovereign and independent State.

 Article 4. That the People of this State have the sole and exclusive right of 
regulating the internal government and police thereof, as a free, sovereign and 
independent State.

The people who participate within the franchise of the State as an elector, chose 
their delegates to the General Assembly that was convened in February of 1777.  The 
members of the General Assembly chose their Delegates to represent the interest of the

[CTRL] OS: You can catch bad guys without spying on the rest of America (fwd)

1999-07-13 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

 -Caveat Lector-

You can catch bad guys without spying on the
rest of America


   Source: Orlando Sentinel
   Published: July 13, 1999 Author: Charley Reese

Suppose the police said, "Everyone must deposit a key to his
house and a key to his post office box at the police station.
Trust us not to pry into your affairs, let the keys fall into the
wrong hands or otherwise abuse your trust."

Would you agree to that?

I don't think so. And you should not agree to the Clinton
administration's desire to require Americans to put the keys to
their computer-encryption software where the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency or the National
Security Administration can get at them.

If you use the Internet for buying or banking or investing, you
are using encryption. That's just a program that scrambles
communications so they can be unscrambled only by people
authorized to do so. Encryption is the only line of defense of
privacy on the Internet or on digital cell telephones.

Fortunately, there is a bill in Congress that will soon go to the
floor that will protect Americans' privacy and allow American
industry to compete on a level playing field with European and
Asian software developers. It's called the Security and Freedom
through Encryption (SAFE) Act of 1999.

Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., introduced the bill, and there are now
257 co-sponsors. The last committees to look at it have until
July 23 to do so, but none can stop it from coming to the floor,
a spokesman for the congressman said. The Republican leadership
has promised a vote. Top Republican big guns such as Rep. Dick
Armey and Rep. Tom DeLay back it, as does Rep. Bob Barr, the
tough Georgia congressman liberals love to hate.

It also has the backing, however, of prominent Democrats and
liberals because, on the issue of privacy, conservatives and
liberals tend to find common ground. The main opposition comes
from the FBI and the super-eavesdropping agency, the NSA.
Unfortunately, Rep. Bill McCollum, our congressman, has so far
lined up on the side of the snoops. He's overly impressed by
spook agencies.

The bill would do basically three things: It would protect the
privacy of American citizens by prohibiting the monitoring of
people's communications without their consent and knowledge.
That's so firmly in the American tradition, it's alarming that
the Clinton administration opposes it.

Second, the bill would do away with restrictions on exports of
encryption. While the Clinton administration restricts the export
of American encryption products, foreign encryption products are
freely available, even on the Internet. This basically would
allow American firms to compete fairly with other countries.

Third, by encouraging American industry to use the best available
encryption products, it would help industries protect their
Internet communication from industrial espionage. It is backed by
both business and privacy organizations.

In the old days, one would say take pen in hand and write your
congressman, asking him to vote for H.R. 580, the SAFE Act of
1999. Today, take computer keys in hand and send Congress an
e-mail.

There is always a conflict between liberty and security in the
sense that people too zealous about security become willing to
sacrifice liberty just to add another tool to the
bad-guy-catching arsenal. Sensible Americans know that there
other ways to catch bad guys without spying on the entire
American population. That's why there is such bipartisan, even
bi-ideological, support for this legislation.

We don't need Big Brother snooping around inside our computers.
H.R. 580 is perfectly complementary to the Bill of Rights.

 Clinton and 1922: Is History Repeating Itself?
...
 Remember: 89 per cent of Washington journalists voted for Clinton and
 everything he stands for, including the destruction of our military.
 What America needs is a moral revival and the media is a good place
 to start.

Questions that come to mind: Where did that 89% statistic come from?
What percentage of EDITORS [gatekeepers], not REPORTERS [newsserfs]
"voted for Clinton and everything he stands for"?  Are "Clinton" and
"everything he stands for" identical?  Could some have voted for Bill
[I didn't] not because they liked "everything he stands for" but
because they somehow perceived some difference between the nearly-
identical platforms of Clinton-Bush [92] and Clinton-Dole [96]??

Do Americans mind that Australians are trying to interfere with US
domestic politics?  Are Australian media operating at such a high
moral level that their journalists can preach about US media? [Hint:
think "Rupert Murdoch"].  Doesn't anything printed in the NEW OZZIE
constitute interference with US internal affairs?  Should the U.S.
bomb Melbourne to retaliate for this affront?  Should we boycott/
embargo Foster's, slaughter zoo kangaroos, burn every Outback Steak-
house and Aussie Fried Chicken franchise?  Or should the CIA just
destabilize and overthrow the Oz gov't?  What's your preference?

  The keyword here is "estimated."  All wealth anonymously held

Why assume that anything Forbes publishes is even remotely accurate?
Does Forbes have an interest in publishing the actual figures, when
reporting on the wealth of his colleagues?  And what makes you think
that "drug lords" even exist - ALL you know about them is what has
been published in the Conspiracy-controlled press.  Lyndon LaRouche's
organization maintains that British/Dutch royals control the bulk of

reflecting that in the Forbes list.  Isn't it just as likely that
Euro monarchs are the REAL "drug lords", that the Columbians et al
who're cited in the press as running the coke/smack/etc trade are
just false fronts, diversions to distract us from the REAL managers?

Same goes with gun dealers - wouldn't the govt's that actually handle
weapons manufacture/distribution/sales have an interest in hiding
their role, in having "arms merchants" as false fronts?  Same goes
with porno/sex - much of the Asian trade is reportedly run by the

[CTRL] Pinochet Papers

1999-07-13 Thread Alamaine Ratliff

 -Caveat Lector-

 WSWS : News  Analysis : South  Central America

 Clinton's selective declassification

 Chile documents expose criminal role of US foreign policy

 By Bill Vann
 13 July 1999

 Back to screen version

 The Clinton administration's release of some 5,800 documents
 relating to the 1973 military coup in Chile has provided a
 glimpse of the murderous role of US foreign policy in Latin
 America and internationally.

 No major US newspaper or broadcast media outlet has conducted any
 serious examination of the documents. Outside of a few cursory
 news reports on the day of their release, the declassification
 has been treated by the American media as a non-event having to
 do with the distant history of a foreign land.

 The White House has itself asserted that its principal aim in
 declassifying the formerly secret material is to further the
 process of “truth and reconciliation in Chile," as if the bloody
 events there 25 years ago had nothing to do with the activities
 of the US government outside of its innocent collection and
 storing of reams of cables, memoranda and secret intelligence
 reports on the carnage that took place there.

 In reality, the documents—though clearly the most incriminating
 material remains locked in the secret archives of the CIA and the
 Pentagon—shed significant light on Washington's crimes against
 the Chilean people. They further illuminate US complicity in the
 murder, torture and imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of
 workers, peasants, students and others seen as real or potential
 opponents of the military dictatorship and American interests.

 The Clinton administration initiated the release of the documents
 at the end of May largely as a damage-control operation. Mounting
 international attention has been focused on the Chilean events by
 the ongoing legal wrangling over Spain's demand for the
 extradition of the former dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, who
 is in British custody. Legal arguments over General Pinochet's
 crimes have inevitably touched upon Washington's involvement in
 the military coup that brought him to power in 1973 as well as in
 his subsequent reign of terror.

 With Pinochet's detention the White House also faced renewed
 demands from the families of Americans killed in the repression,
 including Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi, who were among those
 rounded up and executed in the National Stadium in Santiago.

 Whatever the motives of the White House, the thousands of
 documents chronicling Washington's role in organizing and
 supporting one of the most horrific bloodbaths of the twentieth
 century comprise an incontestable refutation of the democratic
 pretensions of US foreign policy. Coming at a time when the
 Clinton administration portrays its military intervention in the
 Balkans as a matter of the US standing up to the repression of a
 ruthless dictator, these papers confirm once again that US
 imperialism has not only defended its interests precisely through
 such regimes, but has served as their principal sponsor in Latin
 America and internationally.

 Significantly, the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),
 which had the most intimate involvement in the 1973 coup and the
 closest working relations with the Pinochet dictatorship's
 security apparatus, supplied only a fraction of the declassified
 material, just 490 documents between them.

 The lion's share came from the State Department and the rest from
 the Justice Department, the FBI and the presidential libraries of
 Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.

 Notwithstanding the extreme selectivity of the CIA in determining
 which of the massive number of documents on Chile were fit for
 release and its blacking out of incriminating material in even
 these files, this material still provides a glimpse of the
 intimate relations that existed between the agency and the
 butchers of the Chilean military.

 One declassified cable sent September 8, 1973 from the CIA's
 Santiago station to the Directorate of Operations in Washington
 spelled out in detail the plans for the coming coup. The name of
 the agency's informant was blacked out. According to this
 document, the Chilean Navy had decided “to begin an action in
 Valparaiso ... to overthrow the Government of Salvador Allende”
 and that “the Air Force will support this initiative.” It goes on
 to state that General Gustavo Leigh, the commander-in-chief of
 the Air Force, “has made contact with Gen. Pinochet,
 commander-in-chief of the Army, who has told him that the Army
 will not oppose the Navy's action.”

 The cable from the CIA's operatives in Chile said that their
 informant “believes that the Army will join the coup after the
 Air Force supports the Navy.” The cable concludes that the coup
 will take place on September 10 “or at least during the week of
 Sept. 10.” On that day, the CIA mission sent a new cable to
 Washington providing more specific information: “The coup attempt
 will begin on Sept.

Yes, of course, this is prep-prop - preparatory propaganda, meant
to acclimatize humans for the public introduction of aliens into
human society.  It's a wide-ranging campaign, involving journalism
and entertainment, all the media in the world.  There have been a
number of such campaigns:

  MR.ED on TV and the FRANCIS films, to prepare us for talking equines;
  BEWITCHED, I DREAM OF GENIE and a whole slew of similar fare, to
prepare us for witches/warlocks;
  The ELVIS LIVES campaign, to prepare us for revivification;
  BARNEY and JURASSIC PARK, to prepare us for revived dinosaurs.

The list goes on and on.  Anything *different* is prep-prop.

Then there's the Internet itself, to prepare us for being wired
physically into a meta-human computational community, each 'mind'
being just another cog in the Great Machine, like ants in a colony -
group-mind, the Next Step in directed human evolution.  SETI@home
is the latest stage of this plot, to involve everybody in communal

Or, out of stocks and options.  For instance, Bill Gates doesn't
have US$100 bln laying about; rather, he holds a majority of the
shares of MS stock that were issued when he started the company,
and some small percentage of the remaining shares now trade at
such a price, that his shares are COMPUTED to be worth US$100 bln
[give or take a few bill, fluctuating daily.]  Same with other
dot-coms and media-magnates - were they to cash-in their shares,
they'd provoke a panic that'd drop the perceived values by 90%.

So, the basis of their wealth is precisely the same as the basis
of all commercial valuations - someone/something is worth about
what you THINK they're worth.  I think Fuji apples are worth the
59 cents per pound CostCo charges; somebody else thinks they're
worth the 99 cents that SafeWay charges; we're both right, in
our contexts.  I think Bill Gates is worth jackshit; somebody
else thinks he's worth 100 bill; we're both right, in context.

So, people don't create *money* out of electrons, they create
*perceptions*.  It's bankers who create *money*, by lending more
than they have on deposit - but that's another issue, eh?

Subject: [TheEagle-L] The Bankster's Game Plan!?



Hi Eagles;

It appears as if the mega-bankers are running SCARED.  The main
reason: the Millennium conversion will loose so many forces which
could prove detrimental to their economic pyramid system that
'they' fear a potential collapse of the U.S. economy.  So how
do those on Wall Street [CFR, Federal Reserve, IRS, Trilaterals,
IMF, Bildebergers, etc.] plan to keep their financial empires
in tact in the face of total economic collapse?  Easy, America
is to be "downsized" to the extreme.  As it stands, 5 percent
of the financial elite own over 80 percent of the wealth.  Their
plan is to literally create a slave-state where Americans will
be forced to endure slave labor from cradle to grave in order
to maintain the luxurious lifestyles of the super-wealthy.
Thess banksters literally plan to eliminate all "competition".

We must understand however that these are their PLANS, which
means that collective human will [and hopefully a good deal of
Divine Intervention] might frustrate and minimize these plans,
since nothing is set in stone.  WE literally decide our future,
on an individual and collective level.  However the wise person
is one who prepares for ALL probabilities...

The sad fact is that millions are playing right into the hands
of the 'elite' in that the nations of the earth have become
INDEBTED to the bankers via massive loans which will probably
never be paid back because of the equally massive 'interest',
and thus the national resources and sovereignty aquired as
'collateral' is destroying the independence of these nations
day by day.  Solomon said that the debtor becomes a servent
of the lender, and so when the false economy we live under
crashes to the bottom what do you think the bankers will do?

They will send out their "collection agents" to require
reimbursement from ALL of those who live in luxury today by
BORROWING/MORTGAGING years into their future.  And believe
me, they have the paramilitary forces, bought and paid for,
necessary to enforce their plans.  So unless you wish to
spend the rest of your life in a work camp [or worse] paying
off your DEBTS, I would suggest that you become DEBT FREE
now!  Especially if what the following high-ranking National
Guardsman has to say is true...

American Death Camps
by Samuel Foster

We live in strange times. Suffice it to say I am a captain (not my actual
rank, but at least that) in the
National Guard; but I can't tell you which state, as that information surely
will be the quick road to my
demise. I have faithfully served my country in Desert Storm and Panama, both
events having nothing to
do with the National Security safety of this Great Country of ours.

My wife has the same disease I have, and the doctors are still telling me I
have the flue. Does a flue last
eight years? We'll get to that later. We both are under the age of forty,
but we no longer look young.

Nothing can change my mind that my superiors-so-called officers and
gentlemen-have murdered us.
One of my duties requires me to train through rotation with other units, the
ongoing guard staff of various
clandestine Prisons many Americans that over-sight committees do not know
exist. These prisons, or
"camps" as we call them, were built for no other purpose than for the common
American taxpayer. I
know. I helped build three of them.

Somewhere along the way, I have lost my soul in the process. I know for a
fact that this government of
ours plans to turn America into a wasteland of proportions that stagger any
imagination. It is the
Pentagon and Wall Street's ambition to create no less than a slave state by
the year 2001. They will do
it too-with the media's help-because in many ways, they have already
succeeded in destroying our civil
liberties and making the middle-class an ancient idea.

How can I say these things? From where do I speak? A few years ago, I was
called to a meeting in Fort
Mead to join the augmenting of a unit which would report directly to FEMA in
the event of national
disaster. Did we discuss earthquakes, tornadoes, or flooding? Not on your
life. After obtaining several
new written security clearances and after having signed no less than eleven
documents-all giving away
my life and liberty should I ever speak out-I was let in on the following
plan.

Before giving out the structure of this plan, I beg anyone who reads this
document to share with as many
people as possible what I consider our last, best chance to reverse the
horrible course this country

U.S. "provoked" confrontation on the Korean peninsula.
It was posted under a pseudonym, so I can't vouch

DECEMBER 7, 1999: PEARL HARBOR II?
Posted by "Quixote" 7/12/99 @ 20:57:25:

"Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are
doomed to repeat it."

The following is a speculation, but it is informed
speculation.

As I stated before, a series of crises are slated to
begin December 6, 1999. I think one of the first of these will be war
on the Korean Peninsula, a war that will embroil the U.S. and lure the
remainder of our troops out of the country (in preparation for future
crises) and tie up our forces in the Korean theater.

Historical Background:
Japan attacked the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on
December 7, 1941. Contrary to the official line, this attack was
provoked and it was not a surprise. Read
http://www.clinton.net/~mewilley/pearl.html and
users.deltanet.com/~dericker/FDR%D5s%20Day%20of%
Treason.htm for more details. I believe that unless
preventative action is taken, something similar may happen to the U.S.
Pacific fleet precisely 58 years after this attack (note 5+8=13, and
58's factors are 2
and 29, and 2+2+9=13, a number of occult significance to the people who
are planning these crises). This new
attack would be launched by North Korea, and would also be provoked and
no surprise. The proof that it will not be a surprise is that it I have
warned you about it nearly 5 months beforehand.

North Korea has recently benn developing advanced missile designs. A
while back they test-fired a missile over Japanese airspace, and they
are planning to test a missile soon that will be capable of striking
the U.S.
Snip
In any event, they already have missiles that are capable of striking
Japan and Hawaii. |Very recently,
the U.S. provoked North Korea by sending a battle group including the
aircraft carrier U.S.S. Constellation to Pusan, South Korea  . North
Korea accused the U.S. and South Korea of trying to antagonize it and
drag it into a war.

North Korea has been massing over 2 million troops along the edge of
the DMZ, probably in preparation for
a ground invasion of South Korea. The Korean War of 1950-53 never
really ended; the two Koreas have been in a mutual state of war for
nearly 50 years and are operating under an armistice that can break
down at any time. North Korea is quickly running out of food and will
not be able to feed both its military and civilian populations for much
longer. The South has food, and a war would also mean that every
soldier killed would not have to be fed. North Korea will likely run
out of food this winter and will be forced to invade South Korea even
if its leaders did not want to. Expect further provocative acts from
the U.S. in the coming months that will parallell the provocations
against Japan in the summer of 1941 and will serve as a warning sign.
These actions include, but are not limited to:

-shows of military force, like the recent one in Pusan
-a freeze of all North Korean assets in the U.S.
-a trade war/embargo against North Korea
-international condemnation of North Korea by the  "West" (led by the
U.S.)
-diplomatic snubs of North Korea by the U.S.

There is only one thing standing in the way of North Korea's invasion
of South Korea, and that is the
United States Navy's Pacific Fleet. North Korea would have to
neutralize the fleet prior to its attack on South Korea. Otherwise, our
Navy will make minced meat out of them and they know it.

http://www.cpf.navy.mil/organization/organization.htm is the URL of the
United States Navy's Pacific Fleet's
Organization. This information is available to the general public and
anyone can go there and read it,
even someone in North Korea. (Of course we have certain
more esoteric countermeasures if things get too out of hand-ed., F4)
This page states that the Third Fleet operates out of San Diego, CA.
and that the Seventh Fleet operates out of Yokosuka, Japan. We also
still have a Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. North Kore could
alunch a preemptiv first strike against our naval forces in port prior
to or simultaneous with an invasion of South Korea. North Korea could
not do this wiht naval or air power, as its forces are very weak in
these areas compared to Japan in 1941. However North Korea has nuclear
weapons, which Japan only dreamed of having. North knows that an
attack on South would mean war with

 Interview: I Told You So!




 I Told You So!

 Camille Paglia sounds off to TWQ editor Charlotte Hays about the
 feminist establishment, the Clinton scandals, and why Gloria
 Steinem is out of touch

 TWQ: The first question I want to ask you is about Monica. Is she
 a vixen or a victim? Did she get what she wanted?

 PAGLIA: Well, Monica Lewinsky herself bores me silly because she
 is a kind of a prototype of a narcissistic and spoiled American
 girl that I have been seeing develop over the last twenty-five
 years as a teacher--not at my school, the University of the Arts,
 where most people don't have those kinds of economic advantages.
 But I certainly saw this coming from my first job at Bennington
 College and later as a visiting instructor at Wesleyan and Yale.
 And I have been warning about this for years and saying that we
 are raising up a whole generation of young people who are
 completely removed from any sense of the outside world. To me,
 the most damaging thing Monica did to herself was her response to
 Barbara Walters' early question: "When you went to the White
 House as an intern, were you interested in politics?" And Monica
 Lewinsky is so shallow and her family is so shallow that she
 said, "No, not at all,"-and in a very high and superficial voice
 that you would use having a drink off Rodeo Drive or something. I
 was just amazed at that! Our educational system at the primary
 and secondary level is so flawed that we have girls who would go
 to the White House as a tremendous career opportunity for
 themselves and come out of that experience in Washington undented
 by any sense of wider political or historical realities.

 TWQ: What would you advise her to do?

 PAGLIA: I would advise Monica Lewinsky to get the hell off the
 public stage before she damages the cause of women any further.

 TWQ: What has been her impact on the establishment feminist
 movement?

 PAGLIA: Ohhh, I have been in hog heaven over that! Never, never
 did I dream that Gloria Steinem would shoot herself in every one
 of her eight feet-but she did over Monica Lewinsky!

 Christina Hoff Sommers was an early warrior in this battle, and
 we were together in all of this in the early 1990s. And now, of
 course, a horde of other women have come onto the scene, and we
 no longer have to take all the abuse. Christina and I have for
 years tried to get people to see that the feminist establishment
 did not speak for all women.

 In fact, I'm the one who coined the term "feminist
 establishment." When I went out on my first publicity tour after
 Sexual Personae and in my early articles in 1990, 1991, 1992, I
 drilled that phrase in every interview. I kept on saying,
 "feminist establishment, feminist establishment"-to try to drive
 that wedge into media consciousness and to make them understand
 that the leaders of the feminist organizations based in
 Washington and New York not only did not speak for all women but
 they did not speak for all feminists either. They were as
 divorced from the actual historical currents within feminism as
 the leaders of the Communist Party were in the Politburo or the
 more recent Soviet Union, where they were living like the dukes
 of the Romanovs.

 At any rate, year by year, my campaign to portray--correctly
 portray--the feminist leaders as out of touch with women has
 really succeeded-and they helped me enormously! I feel that my
 record, in terms of my feminist responses to the various sexual
 scandals from the early 1990s, is now being proved to have been
 the correct one. In 1986, for heaven's sake, in my own
 university, I lobbied for the adoption of moderate sexual
 harassment guidelines, but at the same time I felt there was a
 fascist extremism in feminism coming out of Catharine MacKinnon
 that was pushing these things toward authoritarian extremes that
 I, as a libertarian, could not support. And so in 1991, I was the
 only feminist out there who was attacking Anita Hill! One week
 into those hearings, I wrote a piece for the Philadelphia
 Inquirer that begins, "Anita Hill is no feminist heroine." And I
 felt Clarence Thomas was quite right: He was the victim of a
 high-tech lynching. Then when Paula Jones came along in 1994, I
 was the only feminist immediately out there saying, "I find her
 case credible." I was on the "Larry King Show" in May 1994--that
 transcript is in my book, Vamps  Tramps. I went against Eleanor
 Smeal, who was saying, "This is just a put-up job by the right
 wing,"--the same thing Hillary tried all last year. And I said,
 "Oh, really? Well, Anita Hill's case was a put-up job by the
 feminist establishment."

 It's comical the mess that Steinem made over Monica Lewinsky, but
 the real hypocrisy was in the Paula Jones case in 1994. If in

 No War, No Lessons After Kosovo, Stevens Says By George C.
 Wilson, Legi-Slate News Service

 Washington -- There are no military lessons to be learned from
 NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslav President Slobodan
 Milosevic because it was not a war at all, Senate Appropriations
 Committee Chairman Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, said Thursday.

 The World War II bomber pilot told defense reporters over
 breakfast that "we never had an engagement" with the Yugoslav
 military. "They never came to war with us," Stevens said. "We
 just bombed the hell out of them until they signed an agreement.

 "We had 780 million people (in the NATO alliance) attacking 20
 million people, and they finally came to their knees after (NAT0
 forces) bombed for four months. What's the precedent out of that?
 There's no precedent out of that. I don't see it having any
 relationship to the ability of the Army on the ground in a war.

 "We never fought anybody there" in the Balkans over Kosovo, "not
 even their planes," he said. "This was just a bombing campaign
 until we bombed them into submission. And I guess if you can find
 another country that was located like Serbia was -- where it was
 completely surrounded by people friendly to us -- where we had
 free access to it all the time, I guess we could bomb anyone into
 submission if you wanted to take on that task.

 "But defeating 20 million people the way we defeated them,"
 Stevens continued, "I don't think that's something we should go
 around holding our head high in the air (about) and saying we're
 superior" because "we ended the war by the air. The war never
 started.

 "I think it's an anomaly," Stevens said of the air war against
 Milosevic. "I don't think it's a lesson at all."

 Stevens' remarks came against a backdrop of postwar audits by Air
 Force generals who have emphasized in recent closed-door
 meetings, that their bombing campaign, while highly professional,
 was no cause for gloating, participants told LEGI-SLATE News
 Service. The bombing wore out air crews and aircraft and used up
 the inventory of smart weapons that will cost billions to
 replenish, the generals said.

 The strain of the Kosovo bombing campaign has compelled Air Force
 leaders to focus on what they call "reconstitution" -- curing the
 downsized service of ills inflicted by such sudden and intense
 deployments as those to the Balkans.

 One ill is the stress imposed on Air Force families whose
 unhappiness often prompts airmen to quit the service. The Air
 Force is now critically short of pilots and is looking for
 additional ways to stem the exodus.

 Stevens recalled that airmen based in Aviano, Italy, expressed
 much less enthusiasm to him about bombing Yugoslavia than
 attacking the Iraqi military during the Persian Gulf War of
 1990-91.

 In giving his views on a wide range of other military matters,
 Stevens made these points:

 * The Army. It should be enlarged beyond its projected
 active-duty strength of 480,000 and a "portion" of it should be
 trained in peacekeeping since that mission predominates these
 days, he said.

 Stevens said the Army trains its volunteers "to be warriors, and
 we end up putting them at intersections at Haiti, the Balkans,
 Kuwait and now Kosovo. Let's train some people to be peacekeepers
 in the sense of being able to carry light arms and be able to
 defend themselves and be on the streets of Kosovo, Bosnia, Haiti
 and wherever the hell they want to put peacekeepers."

 Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, the newly sworn-in Army Chief of Staff,
 said at his first news conference on June 23 that 480,000 "may
 not be enough" people to carry out the Army's missions. He said
 he would withhold final judgment until a manpower study in
 completed. Other Army leaders have warned that enlarging the Army
 would put an extra burden on recruiters who already have trouble
 signing up enough volunteers to fill the ranks.

 * China. "I really don't look at China as a threat to the United
 States" in the sense of it stealing our most vital secrets
 through spying, Stevens said.

 "I served in China in World War II. I've been back there many
 times. I think the bulk of Chinese people look at us as friends.
 We've got to wait out another generational change" in China's top
 leadership to achieve better harmony," he said.

 "There's a substrata coming together of younger people in the
 Peoples Republic of China and Taiwan. And if you want to look at
 the industrial base, a great portion of the industrial base for
 Taiwan is on the mainland. This means to me that if we stop
 worrying about these guys who are rattling cages and look at the
 bulk of the population and where it's going, we can have a great
 bond of friendship

 Upholding Free Speech Rights of the Unpopular,
 Idaho Court Allows Aryan Nations to March

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, July 9, 1999

COEUR D'ALENE, ID -- A Federal Court today ordered the City of Coeur
d'Alene to grant the Aryan Nations a parade permit allowing them to march 
through the city's downtown area tomorrow.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho had requested the court
order on behalf of the group, claiming that the city had denied the
parade route request for content-based reasons, and that such denial was an 
unconstitutional prior restraint of speech.

In its order, Chief U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge agreed with the
ACLU's argument that "the selection of the Ramsey Road parade route solely 
for the [Aryan Nations] parade is not a content-neutral application of the 
parade permit ordinance."

The Court also said that the City's reasons for re-routing the parade
were "pretextual," and that there was no evidence to suggest a "'clear and 
present danger' associated with the [Aryan Nation's] parade request."

"The re-routing of the parade does not provide adequate channels of
communication for the [Aryan Nations]," the Court said, "and removes the
parade from the intended audience in potential violation of the First 
Amendment."

Jack Van Valkenburgh, Executive Director of the ACLU of Idaho, said he
was pleased with the Court's decision, and trusted that the public would 
not confuse the ACLU's defense of the right to speak with any defense of 
the Aryans' message.

"'I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your
right to say it' is a quote attributed to Voltaire," he said. "Well, if
Voltaire were alive today, I think he would be proud of the ACLU."

"The ACLU believes that the right to utter unpopular political speech --
on terms equal to the right to utter popular political speech -- is as
fundamental to our American freedoms as any right, whether realized or
imagined," he concluded.

ACLU cooperating attorneys Harold B. Smith of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and
Dawn Reynolds of Pullman, Washington, represented Richard Butler, on 
behalf
of the Aryan Nations Substantial assistance was also provided by Elizabeth 
Brandt of Moscow.

 ACLU Calls for Moratorium After
 Gruesome Electric Chair Execution

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, July 8, 1999

MIAMI -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida today called on
Gov. Jeb Bush to halt all executions until officials can ensure that
they can be conducted humanely and until greater fairness and due
process in the imposition of death sentences can be assured.

The ACLU's call for a moratorium comes after the bloody electric chair
execution of inmate Allen Lee "Tiny" Davis at 7:10 a.m. this morning. Davis 
was executed for the brutal slayings of 37 year old Nancy Weiler and her 
two daughters in 1982.

According to news reports and eyewitness accounts, blood poured from his
mouth and oozed from his chest as Davis was hit with 2,300 volts. Davis was 
the first prisoner to be executed in the electric chair that replaced an
earlier version of "Old Sparky."

The replacement of the chair stemmed in part from reaction to a 1997
incident in which flames shot from the head of Pedro Molina as he was
electrocuted.

The ACLU said it is calling for a moratorium to open public debate not
only about the method of execution in Florida but also, in light of the 
arbitrariness of the imposition of death sentences, whether the people of 
Florida are well served and made any safer by the death penalty.

"Capital punishment is an intolerable denial of civil liberties and is
inconsistent with the fundamental values of our democratic system," said
Howard Simon, Executive Director of the ACLU of Florida. "Criminals no
doubt deserve to be punished, and the severity of the punishment should
be appropriate to their culpability. But Florida's record of executions,
and the Legislature's obsession with electrocution as the method of
execution, has been barbaric."

 -Caveat Lector-

 EUROPE

 Grim choices


 K I E V









Search
archive

 NEARLY eight years after independence from the Soviet Union, many of the
candidates in Ukraine’s presidential election, due in October, say they want
to go back, more or less, to the old days. And at least three out of the
seven most serious say they want to recreate the Soviet Union in one guise or
another—with Ukraine inside it.
Even candidates who claim to want reform, President Leonid Kuchma included,
hark back to the Soviet Union in other respects. Mr Kuchma’s heavy-handed
tactics smack of the era when a vote of 99% in favour of the incumbent was
pretty average. “Ukraine must follow the European road,” he said recently.
“Changing the president would mean changing the political course: I have no
right to let that happen.” Hardly the spirit of democracy.

Certainly, if various of the proclamations by other candidates are to be
believed, Ukraine would veer sharply in another direction under several of Mr
Kuchma’s rivals. Parliament’s speaker, for instance, Oleksandr Tkachenko, has
been full of enthusiasm for the (so far mainly theoretical) reunion of Russia
and Belarus, clearly implying that Ukraine should join it. Piotr Simonenko,
head of Ukraine’s Communist Party and another candidate for president,
favours that three-country link too. Natalia Vitrenko, running for the
Progressive Socialist Party, wants the entire Soviet Union put back together.
Each of these three old-guard candidates is well up with Mr Kuchma in the
opinion polls. An analyst at the East-West Centre, a think-tank in Kiev,
says—with some justification—that the forthcoming election could decide
whether Ukraine has a future as an independent state.

The “back-to-the-Soviet Union” candidates certainly have supporters,
especially in Ukraine’s east and south, where ethnic Russians (numbering
about 10m out of Ukraine’s 50m people) and Ukrainians with old-left
sympathies are most numerous. In 1991, even they voted for independence,
thinking that Ukraine was being exploited by the rest of the Soviet Union and
that independence would bring prosperity. Eight years on, GDP has fallen by
two-thirds. Easterners are particularly despondent.

NATO’s war over Kosovo has also helped set Ukrainian minds against the West.
Though the Socialist Party’s Oleksandr Moroz, a former speaker of parliament,
is casting himself as a Scandinavian type of social democrat (albeit with the
expectation of winning a lot of communist votes), the prevailing mood may
also prod him into pandering to nostalgia for the Soviet Union. Of the wily
old operators, Mr Kuchma apart, only Yevhen Marchuk, a former KGB boss for
Ukraine, is still clearly pro-western.

In his determination to fight back, Mr Kuchma is playing dirty. Last month
the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), which tries,
among other things, to encourage democratic habits, said his tactics could
harm Ukraine’s relations with western institutions. Some of the president’s
men have told television bosses that, if they give presidential challengers
air-time, they may lose their licences or find that advertisers withdraw
their business.

The electoral commission has been helping the president, too. For example, it
made life hard for Mr Moroz by stalling for a month over whether it would
hand his party the forms it needed to get the minimum 1m voters’ signatures
entitling him to run. “We’re facing a deliberate, planned campaign to stop me
taking part in the election,” complains Mr Moroz, who says some of his
party’s buildings have been set on fire and his supporters attacked.

Recent events in Donetsk, the coal-mining area in the east that is a hotbed
of anti-Kuchma feeling and happens also to be the country’s most populous
region, have been particularly murky. Ivan Ponomarev, the head of the
region’s assembly and an enemy of Mr Kuchma’s, mysteriously resigned in May.
The chief beneficiary has been Viktor Yanukovich, the region’s governor and
one of the president’s friends. Despite a constitutional bar against one
person being both governor and head of the regional assembly, Mr Yanukovich
now has both jobs. More important, his new one should give him unimpeded
oversight of the conduct of the election. The regional assembly is in charge
of electoral procedure and, among other things, vote-counting.

The outlook for the West (and particularly for the United States, which has
set great store on Ukraine’s independence and future prosperity) is bleak.
Not only do several presidential candidates with a chance of winning want to
rebuild the Soviet Union, but the man most determined to point Ukraine
westwards, Mr Kuchma, looks like resorting to highly undemocratic tactics to
achieve the aim which the West, broadly, endorses. Bodies such as the OSCE
are, to put it mildly, embarrassed. The Council of Europe, which monitors
human rights across the continent and has among its members all but the very
nastiest countries

Babies die, mothers arrested
U.S. health care and 'criminal negligence'
By Deirdre Griswold
New York

The case of Tabitha Walrond, who is to be sentenced for "criminally negligent
homicide" in the death of her infant son Tyler, brings into sharp focus the
criminal negligence built into the U.S. health-care system.

Tyler died after he and his 19-year-old mother were turned away from a New
York clinic when she couldn't produce his Medicaid card. It arrived in the
mail weeks after his death. He died because his mother, on the advice of
doctors, had tried to breast-feed him but wasn't able to produce the
necessary milk and never had a chance to find out what was wrong.

Walrond's case has many similarities to that of Tatiana Cheeks, who was
arrested in 1998 after her five-week-old daughter died of starvation. She
also had been unable to successfully breast-feed the infant and had been
turned away from a Brooklyn clinic because she had neither a Medicaid card
nor the $25 required for a checkup for her baby.

For most babies, breast milk is the best source of nourishment and in
addition provides temporary immunity to diseases.

In both cases, New York State's policy on paper is that a baby is covered for
the first year of its life by its mother's Medicaid card. But the facilities
supposed to serve the poor obviously violate this policy.

Tabitha Walrond has been treated as a criminal to cover up the criminality of
the profit system that has made access to health care unavailable for tens of
millions of people in this wealthy country.

If you're poor and depend on Medicaid, you have to fight for health care. You
have to find out from others like yourself how to get past the red tape, how
to deal with all the problems and errors that crop up to knock you out of the
system. You're on your own against a bureaucracy that is rewarded for getting
rid of you. If you're a person of color, like both Walrond and Cheeks, you
can also face racist hostility.

There are about 32 million people on Medicaid. Some 48 million more--and it's
a growing number--have no medical coverage at all. Some have been cut from
welfare and, with it, health coverage. Others are workers who can't get jobs
with benefits because of several decades of reactionary restructuring of
industry and union busting.

But the health-care crisis also extends to workers who can't afford the high
premiums now demanded for many medical insurance plans; seniors who are only
partially covered by Medicare; and everyone who can't afford the expensive
new medications prescribed by many doctors.

What can be done about the health-care disaster? Has medical care just become
too expensive? Is it impossible to have quality health care for all?

Anyone who thinks that way should study the Cuban health-care system. If they
truly care about the way all people are treated--and not just the elite few
who can afford to buy the best coverage--they will be astounded by Cuba's
success.

One objective measure of this success is Cuba's infant mortality rate--7.1
per thousand live births, and still dropping. The world average is 59.

Another measure is the ratio of doctors per inhabitant. Cuba's is the best in
the world. It has 64,000 doctors, or one for every 170 people.

For a developing country, this is an excellent achievement. For a country
that has been blockaded for 40 years, it is phenomenal.

Cuba has achieved this with a system that puts a doctor in every neighborhood
and workplace. They call it an "integral community health program." Some
30,000 of Cuba's doctors work in community health clinics that put the
emphasis on prevention.

Everyone in Cuba has a personal physician through this system. The health
workers live in the communities they serve. They don't wait for a sick person
to come see them. They follow up and make sure that newborns get their shots,
seniors receive proper care, everyone gets regular checkups.

Cuban doctors--2,500 of them--are also helping 50 Third World countries.
Eighteen Cuban medical brigades are currently in Guatemala, where they have
treated 200,000 people affected by Hurricane Mitch.

The numbers of Cuban doctors working in Haiti--400--and of Haitian students
enrolled in medicine school in Cuba--123--are both about to be doubled.

The corporate media here say repeatedly that socialism has "failed" and that
Cuba is repressive. But Tabitha Walrond and Tatiana Cheeks lost their babies
and their freedom in New York, not Havana. It's the profit system that has
failed by creating a glittering high-tech world that is completely out of
reach for an ever-growing part of the population.

Dear CAUS Members;

On this Tuesday, CAUS shares with you an interesting report about the most
logical and realistic form of contact between intelligent
speciespictures.  These worldwide planetary pictograms created on the
surface of the planet for all of us to see and hopefully understand appear
to
be an obvious attempt at contact from an intelligence that understands the
art of interspecies communication. Fascinating that people more intelligent
than I continue to ridicule and debunk these mysterious messages.

CAUS thanks Ron ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for this report:

Dutch eyewitness says two crop circles created by pink-purple light.

6/9/99 Hoeven, Holland - I have received a report from Europe about an
extraordinary event: an eyewitness to the creation of two crop circles
in Hoeven, a southern Holland farm community about 90 minutes from
Amsterdam. It was early Monday morning, June 7th at about 12:15 am. This
is the first formation in Holland this year. A 19-year-old named Robert
woke up and felt compelled to look out his bedroom window. What happened
next was phoned to me by Nancy Talbot, director of the BLT crop circle
research team in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nancy has worked with
biophysicist W.C. Revenged in Michigan for the past several years to
analyze plants from formations in Europe, Israel, Australia, Canada and
the U.S.

Levengood hypothesizes that plants in some sampled formations were
affected by a spinning plasma vortex that contains microwave energies.
The microwaves heat plant cells, softening and collapsing the stems into
the fluid patterns we have come to associate with genuinely mysterious
formations. But Levengood does not know the source of the spinning
plasma vortex. This eyewitness in Holland has now seen two different
phenomena associated with the creation of fresh formations which
suggests there might be different mechanisms for different patterns.

Interview:

Nancy Talbot, director, BLT crop circle research team, Cambridge,
Massachusetts: "This is in southern Holland - and it's concerning again
this boy, Robert, who has the ability somehow to know when these things
are getting ready to happen and who has been in the middle of a
formation when it occurred - this was a couple of years ago. And
subsequently, there has been a lot of crop circle activity around where
he lives. And Sunday night - actually for several days - the entire
weekend, he was having these anxiety feelings that he gets, pacing back
and forth, feeling unwell physically which is a phenomenon that occurs
prior to one of these situations. And his parents insisted that he go to
bed finally Sunday evening, which he did. They in fact checked on him
before they went to bed and he was sound asleep.

But what happened is that at 12:15, he woke up and knew to go to the
window. He opened the curtains and looked out. His window overlooks this
little garden out back and this huge farm field which is directly behind
their garden. And what he saw is just incredible! He describes a small,
misty, pinkish-purple light - not a sphere, more football shaped - and a
little bit smaller than a football, which was coming in over the field
at a height of about 10 feet, maybe 12 feet over the field from quite a
distance away. It's quite an enormous field. He watched it as it came
closer and closer and closer to this spot that is about 50 meters behind
his house. And this is where one of the snow circles occurred a couple
of years ago. There was a circle in mustard seed there last spring. He's
had a couple of circles in other crops in that general area. came right
back to this area and stopped - the word he used was "hanging" - just
stopped in the air and hung over this spot. Then, it started to
elongate, spread out is the easiest way to describe it - and it
apparently spread out and spread out becoming thinner and thinner
looking like a disc, was then how he described it.

When it was about 30 feet in diameter, again, still hanging there - not
moving at all except for this expanding motion - then he observed what
he calls (Nancy makes sh, sh, sh sound) in Dutch for electrical
discharge. He and I have these signals we give back and forth because he
doesn't speak English too well and I don't speak Dutch at all. And what
he means is that he watched electrical discharges coming from the
underside of this disc-shaped, misty, pinkish-purple cloud or ball of
light for -- I would gather -- it sounded like six or seven, eight, maybe
ten seconds immediately over the field.

Then the light phenomenon simply dissipated, was gone. he was very
excited, threw on some clothes and went running out the back and
squeaked through the hedge and into the field and lo' and behold, right
smack where that thing had been was a 30 foot

No retaliation required against the folks from downunder for their affront.

  Remember: 89 per cent of Washington journalists voted for Clinton and

  What America needs is a moral revival and the media is a good place
  to start.

 Questions that come to mind: Where did that 89% statistic come from?
 What percentage of EDITORS [gatekeepers], not REPORTERS [newsserfs]
 "voted for Clinton and everything he stands for"?  Are "Clinton" and
 "everything he stands for" identical?  Could some have voted for Bill
 [I didn't] not because they liked "everything he stands for" but
 because they somehow perceived some difference between the nearly-
 identical platforms of Clinton-Bush [92] and Clinton-Dole [96]??

 Do Americans mind that Australians are trying to interfere with US
 domestic politics?  Are Australian media operating at such a high
 moral level that their journalists can preach about US media? [Hint:
 think "Rupert Murdoch"].  Doesn't anything printed in the NEW OZZIE
 constitute interference with US internal affairs?  Should the U.S.
 bomb Melbourne to retaliate for this affront?  Should we boycott/
 embargo Foster's, slaughter zoo kangaroos, burn every Outback Steak-

 destabilize and overthrow the Oz gov't?  What's your preference?

   FISH SYMBOL ON TOWN SEAL VIOLATES CONSTITUTION

A federal Judge has ruled that the inclusion of a Christian fish or
"Ichthus" symbol on the town seal of Republic, Missouri violates the
First Amendment's establishment clause.  On Friday, Senior U.S.
District Judge Russell G.  Clark rejected arguments by city officials
who said that the fish was merely a "universal symbol of religion" and
was designed to encourage morality.  Clark noted, "The portrayal of
the fish impermissibly excludes other religious beliefs or nonbeliefs
and -- intended to or not -- depicts Christianity as the religion
recognized and endorsed by the residents of Republic."

The seal was challenged by Jean Webb in July, 1998.  At the time, Webb
-- who describes herself as a member of a Wiccan group -- resided in
Republic, having moved there in 1995.  She penned an opinion piece in
the local newspaper which criticized the seal, and argued that the
fish symbol was distinctly Christian in its meaning, and conveyed the
message that other religious beliefs would not be welcomed in the
community.

The ichthus had been on the town seal since 1990, after being selected
in a citywide design contest.

Attorney Douglas Bonney, who represented Ms. Webb on behalf of the
American Civil Liberties Union, told the Kansas City Star newspaper
that the decision "upholds the precept of the First Amendment because
you cannot do anything officially that condones a Christian religion
that alienates the minority."  The paper adds that "On that issue,
supporters of the fish symbol gave Clark ample evidence," noting that
the Judge received "petitions and statements from supporters (which)
acknowledged the fish was a Christian emblem..."

"Even Republic's own citizens do not deny that the fish seal is a
Christian symbol," Clark opined.  "At a meeting of the Board of
Aldermen on March 9, 1998 ...  Sam Darmer stated that he moved to
Republic because he was a Christian and the symbol persuaded him that
he would be accepted..."

Pastor Don Weaver of the West Republic Baptist Church told the Star,
"The people voted for this city ...  But we are ruled by minority any
more (sic).  Atheism represents only 3% of the population.  When their
beliefs are forced on the other 97%, that's not democracy."

The City of Republic was represented by the National Legal Foundation,
a "religious rights" group which first appeared on the political radar
screen in the 1980s, when it defended efforts by a group of parents in
Tennessee to have "anti-Christian" texts and other books removed from
the school curriculum.  Later, the Foundation was active in Colorado
working with James Dobson, Pat Robertson and other religious right
leaders who promoted the state's notorious antigay ballot initiative.

The City has 30 days to decide upon any appeal process to the 8th
Circuit Court of Appeals.  Republic Mayor Douglas Boatright told the
First Amendment Forum that officials would discuss legal strategy with
NLF.  The Foundation has reportedly informed Republic leaders that all
other federal appeals involving a religious symbol on a city seal were
over the presence of a Christian cross.  According to the Kansas City
Star, the legal group "considers the fish as a less definitive symbol
that could pass legal muster..."  The 8th Circuit has never ruled on
such an issue; any verdict on behalf of Republic would then result in
different opinions from appellate jurisdictions, automatically sending
the case on to the U.S.  Supreme Court for resolution.

Former Republic Mayor Harold Tindell, who was on the Alderman Board in
1990, told the paper that he asked the winner of the design contest
the meaning of the fish symbol.  "An outstretched hand was a welcome
sign, he was told.  The fish symbolized the city's Christian
morals..."

  **

 SOMETHING'S FISHY ABOUT THIS SYMBOL...

Although Christians today like to embrace the fish or "ichthus" symbol
as an icon of their own faith, the true origins of the fish could
surprise, even outrage true believers.  The "ichthus" may symbolize
prudery, self-sacrifice, repression and everything else associated
with the Christian religion, but before the rise of the Jesus cult it

  Now, would this be *surplus* as in the multi-trillion dollar surplus

 That depends on how stupid polticios and the public both actually
 are, and how stupid each thinks the other is.  Remember, 'freedom'

 gov't should actively ENCOURAGE idiocy, like maybe by subsidizing

 impose a levee on products and services that only a moron would

The USAF, doing a fly-by of Fenway Park and the All-Star game,
flew so low that in my third-floor apartment I felt the heat,

Police after I regained my senses to complain that an airline was
far too low.

I thought my life was over. My little room heated up like a
blazing fire for a second or two and I expected impact at any
moment. I was going to die -- it seemed certain, as the sound was
getting closer and closer and the engine sounded as if it were
sputtering.

This is terrorism, IMO. I am still shaking.  Well, I know it's

Re: [CTRL] War on Poverty Yields Few Victories

1999-07-13 Thread William Hugh Tunstall

 -Caveat Lector-

Good point, n.  I'm sure you're a charming person and not the type to
go running amok.

But if you are going to argue that human beings in their natural state
are wise, benign, peaceful and nonviolentand that they have a natural
propensity to respect the property and civil liberties of others, I would
disagree.

I remember my first day on the school ground.  The teacher, a wonderful
woman, told the class that we are to respect one another, not to fight, to
be good children.  Unfortunately, the minute the teacher's back was
turned, all hell would break loose.  Perhaps, you attended a very
different kind of school, but my school was an inner city one where a
Social Darwinist law of the jungle held sway.  There were little gangs of
bullies who would terrorize the weak and defenseless and there were
children who would deliberately lie in order to get others in trouble..
and heaven help you if you just wanted to mind your own business.

Some of the children would go on to junior high and eventually demonstrate
even more dangerous proclivities: carrying weapons to school, drug use,
prostitution, etc.

I'm sure that others on the list may have attended public schools of a
similar nature.  What is my point?  Human beings need guidance, direction,
and rules to help them grow. And human societies aren't much different.
That's why you need a government in order to maintain some measure of
order.

Have you ever read Lord of the Flies?  It might illustrate my point.

Thank you for the response,

 I know this list gets off-topic quite a bit, but can someone tell me what
 mice in the anus has to do with Conspiracy?


 Disinformation is the most powerful weapon and the most useful tool of all
 those which our self-styled "owners" use to keep us in line. To understand
 homophobia as a social phenomenon we must ask ourselves who benefits from
 the demonization and scapegoating of homosexuals. In a sense, homosexuals
 make an even more effective official pariah group than Jews. Like Jews,
 there are enough of them to appear to the unsophisticated mind to be a
 threat, yet there are not enough of them to actually be a threat. Like
 Jews, homosexuals range in appearance from easily identifiable to totally
 indistinguishable from the rest of us. Like Jews, homosexuals are both
 thoroughly dispersed throughout the general population and concentrated
 in certain neighborhoods. Like Jews, their persecution is a lucrative
 business, enriching their persecutors no end.

 Like Jews, homosexuals appear to Christians, less as flesh and blood human
 beings than as mythological creatures come to life, stepping as if from
 the very pages of Christianity's most sacred texts. Christians, like most
 religious people, have trouble separating the tenets of their religion and
 the characters and location of their mythology from the real life people
 and places of the actual world. While certainly not the only ones with
 this problem Christians, in particular, have such cognitive disabilities
 because they are easily led because their religion specifically orders
 them to think like sheep. If "the Lord is my Shepard," what's that make me?

 The more imaginative of their numbers come up with lies like "Jews poison
 wells," "Black people have no souls," and "homosexuals stick mice up their
 butts," because nothing unifies like the perception of a common and
 dehumanized enemy. Christian antipathy to homosexuals traces its roots to
 the ethnic cleansing of Goddess worshipping Caananites by the ancient
 Hebrews. The Caananites had gay priests. All things Caananite were taboo
 to the ancient Hebrews, not just homosexuality. The "rounding of the
 corners of one's beard," for example, was a Caananite custom. It was
 forbidden to Hebrews so a Hebrew warrior could tell a Hebrew from a
 Caananite in a hurry  in a fight.

 Anybody who stuck a mouse up their butt would die a horrible death from
 peritonitis within twelve or so hours. As somebody who celebrated his
 tenth birthday by being operated on for a ruptured appendix, I can tell
 you with absolute certainty that no one who even heard rumor of what
 peritonitis was like would ever do anything to risk such a fate.

 I live in a city with a large gay population. I have many gay friends and
 acquaintances. I also have a friend who works as an emergency room
 physician. I'm also a real life Curious George who works as a researcher
 for a local paper. You can take my word for it, if this sort of thing ever
 happened I would have heard about it by now. I would have found the guy. I
 would have  interviewed him. I would have sold the story. I would have
 spent the money. That's my job.

 The absolute certainty of a hideous death that awaited anybody with a
 mouse up their butt was the specific reason it ever happened to anybody at
 all. During the Inquisition Christian torturers used  mice up the butt to
 extract confessions from homosexuals, witches, and other heretics. Mice
 were also placed in women's vaginas which were then sewn shut. Another
 torture popular among Christians  was to strap a metal cylinder with one
 open end and filled with mice to the abdomen of their victims and then
 heat the other end with fire. The terrified mice would then try
 desperately to gnaw their way to safety. It is particularly ironic that
 Christians, of all people, would accuse others of of their own crimes,
 particularly this one.

 While horrific, shoving mice up their victim's butts is not the most
 archetypal of Christian atrocities. That would be the ever popular burning
 alive. Christians burned more pagans alive than the Nazi burned Jews. Like

Disinformation  and Serbia: U.S. Media Bias

By Peter Phillips (668 words)

A major  news story about Serbia, not covered in the American
press, was published in Covert Action Quarterly (CAQ) last Fall. The story
detailed how a famous photo from 1992  in Omarska, Bosnia showing an
alleged Serbian death camp was in fact a phony. The original photo, taken
by Independent Television (ITN) from Great Britain, showed an emaciated
Muslim man with his shirt off behind barbed wire with his imprisoned
comrades behind him. This photo ran worldwide and was just used again June
14th by Time magazine. It was the first significant emotional presentation
of the Serbian military as nazi-like thugs. Presidential candidate, Bill
Clinton, making reference to the photo promised military action against the
Serbs if elected. According to CAQ this photo was a gross misrepresentation
of the situation. The men in the picture were not behind barbed wire, but
rather were standing outside of a small fenced enclosure next to a farm
house in an open field that had been serving as a refugee transit site. The
photographers shot the photo from within the fenced enclosure looking out
on a open field. The Hague Tribunal confirmed in 1994 that there was no
barbed wire surrounding the camp at Omarska in 1992.
So how has a phony photo of alleged Serbian death camp continued to
be used to portray the Serbian government as an holocaust perpetrator  in
Kosovo? One part of the answer is that the American public relations firm
Ruder Finn was originally hired by the Croatian sessionists, Bosnian
Muslims and the Kosovo Liberation Army( KLA) to foster  negative images of
the Serbs as nazi demons. Ruder Finn targeted American women and Jews with
the promotion of often unconfirmed news stories of Serbian rape/death
camps, and various human atrocities. News stories showing attacks and
ethnic cleansing of Serbs were often repressed or covered up. The result
was that the American public has been lead to believe that the Serbs are
the vicious aggressors in the Balkans and the other parties innocent
victims. Nothing could be further from the truth. The KLA alone was listed
by the U.S. State department as a terrorist organization  until just last
year. They had been conducting bombings, assassinations, ambushes,
(financed by heroin sales) on both Albanians moderates and Serbs in Kosovo
for several years, increasing their attacks 1000% in 1998. Serbian police
responses were often brutal especially in the villages from which the KLA
was known to operate. Yet, last year only 2,000 deaths occurred on both
sides in all of Kosovo. 2,000 deaths was not an ethnic cleansing campaign
by Serbs to kill Albanians but rather part of a measured response to
ongoing  terrorist activities by a legitimate government.
American media has been so accepting of demonized-the-Serb stories
that there was no questioning of the news story last January of the alleged
Serbian massacre at Racak where some 40 Kosovo Albanians were said to have
be gunned down by Serb police.  Found by the  "neutral"  former  Oliver
North aide, William Walker, the bodies were a perfect photo opportunity to
justify increased NATO demands for direct intervention and the bombings.
Yet, there was a complete failure of the American press to cover the
European Union's forensic team's report in March 17th stating that they
were unable to confirm that a massacre had occurred, and that it was
possible that the bodies had been moved to that location after  death.
The American press has been filled with daily reports of mass
graves and torture sites in Kosovo. Yet, a recent story of a KLA torture
chamber found by German NATO troops received scant attention in the press.
Perhaps if the Serbs buried the 2,000 plus civilian victims of NATO's
bombing campaign in a single mass grave the U.S. press might pay more
attention to both sides of the story instead of serving as a NATO
disinformation distribution service.

School culture replicates the values and behaviors of the host culture on
a microcosmic scale.  As a former  member of a parent-teacher cooperative
alternative school, I can assure you the behavior you describe is not
universal. If anthropology teaches us anything it is that assuming that
the traits of one's own culture are universal is stupid.

What is my point?  Human beings need guidance, direction, and rules to

None of these things need come from the state.

It's fiction.

Have you ever read The Dispossessed by Urula LeGuinn? It's also fiction.
Collectives in the Spanish Revolution by Gaston Leval, which describes a
society much like LeGuinn's, is  not.  It's an eye witness account of what
happens when people cast off the state and run their own lives according

[CTRL] OT: Evidence of Serbian Massacre? (fwd)

1999-07-13 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

 -Caveat Lector-

 This news article taking from AP Breaking a few minutes ago.
I snipped the last few paragraphs.  Note that the alleged
massacre of the children took place AFTER the Nato bombing
started.  There are rumors of others killed in Celine and Nagafc.
Then, the Nato official states that the massacres are why they
had to bomb.  Am I missing something?  Didn't the article just
state that the 20 children were killed after the bombing started?
What do you think the chances are that the other alleged
massacres took place after the Nato bombing started?


Investigators find bodies of 11 children slain by Serbs

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) - British forensic experts in Kosovo
have uncovered the bodies of 11 children, some as young as 2
years old, shot at close range by Serb forces, Britain's foreign
secretary said Tuesday. The revelation came as a top U.N. war
crimes prosecutor said it was possible that Yugoslav President
Slobodan Milosevic could be charged with genocide for the Serbs'
campaign of atrocities in Kosovo, on top of other war crimes
charges he already faces.

British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said the bodies of the
children - aged 2 to 16 years old - had been discovered among 20
corpses found in the southwestern village of Celine.

Sources at the British Foreign Office, speaking on customary
condition of anonymity, said the 20 dead were believed to have
come from one family, shot by Serb forces on March 25 or March 26
- a day or two after NATO began its bombing campaign against
Yugoslavia.

German officers had said there appeared to be graves containing
119 people in Celine and the neighboring village of Nagafc.

Cook, speaking to a parliamentary committee in London, said such
massacres were ``compelling evidence'' as to why NATO had to wage
its 78-day air campaign against Yugoslavia and then deploy a
peacekeeping force in the Serbian province.

(rest of article snipped, although it did contain some

I would have received a copy of it addressed to me as a list member.  I have
never received such a posting.  I'm not sure just why the list is trying to

[CTRL] y2k computer viruses

1999-07-13 Thread Nicky Molloy

 -Caveat Lector-

http://www.csis.org/html/y2kw9.html
Y2K Computer Viruses


Y2K Risk Assessment Task Force:
Chairman:
Sam Nunn, former U.S. Senator

Vice Chairmen:
Bradley D. Belt, Director, International Finance and Economic Policy
Arnaud de Borchgrave, Director, Global Organized Crime
William Garrison, Director, International Communications


The Melissa virus and the Chernobyl virus recently demonstrated how easy it
is to disrupt a system and cause millions of dollars worth of damage. They
are only the tip of the iceberg. There are more than a hundred millennium
viruses being developed, while all the effort around the Year 2000 computer
problem is focusing on changing the date fields in mission critical systems.
The impact of the Melissa virus and the Chernobyl virus pales in comparison
to the impact that these millennium viruses could have, especially if they
all hit at the same time.

Security expertise and communications engineering knowledge has virtually
become second nature to today's computer savvy youth. As a result, the
quality and the sophistication of simple viruses has significantly
increased. Witness the Melissa virus, a simply coded virus which was totally
benign it its nature. But, its sophisticated concept of carrier broadcast,
which allows a virus to replicate itself and spread rapidly through a
system, ultimately created an atmosphere of panic.

More recently, the Chernobyl virus wreaked havoc in the Middle East and Asia
as well as some European countries. This virus, which was set to activate on
the anniversary of the Chernobyl incident, attempts to corrupt the data on
the hard drive, while at the same time tampering with the boot up (BIOS)
program, without which the computer can not be turned on. South Korea for
instance, estimates that up to 15 percent of all its computers may have been
affected causing damage of up to $250 million. Other areas of the world also
suffered extensive damage. The United States, on the other hand, has
remained largely unaffected. The reason for this is that experts in the
United States have known about the Chernobyl virus for nearly a year and
were able to make preparations by updating the anti-virus software and by
being vigilant.

The same can not be said about millennium viruses. There is very little,
easily accessible public information on them, making it difficult to assess
the threat. But, the problem must be taken seriously. As Jeremy Phillips,
President of PS Technologies, points out, "anybody who has ever worked with
viruses will understand why these viruses are not widely known. Simply, a
virus is not usually known about until it strikes for the first time. As
these viruses are specifically coded not to activate until the computer
clock is either 00 or 2000, there is no reason to suspect that they exist.
However, they do."

According to Mr. Phillips, there are more than 130 computer viruses that are
set to activate at the stroke of midnight 2000. Most of these viruses are
harmless, falling into the "nuisance category." A number of the known
viruses (10-12), on the other hand, are designed with specific malicious
intent. If these viruses all strike at the same, time they have the
potential to make a bad situation worse. Systems administrators, already
stressed with ensuring the seamless Y2K roll-over, may be pushed to a
breaking point increasing the probability of human error and widespread
system failures.

What do some of these millennium viruses do?


Benign Viruses:

As stated earlier, most of the millennium viruses are, according to
tradition, child-like and non-malicious in their intent. One virus, for
instance, creates a picture on your screen of death holding a new-born baby
with the numbers "2000"over his head. Seventeen other viruses just display
the number "2000" on the screen, and then have it explode in confetti.
Although potentially very annoying, these types of viruses cause no lasting
damage and are easily removed.

Malicious Viruses:

The most dangerous "strains" of millennium viruses are being developed by
groups that are small, well financed, and located outside of the United
States. In some cases, the programmers who design the viruses have set up
companies in neutral countries that do software/computer consulting. Profits
from their legitimate activities are then used to finance more nefarious
projects.

The malicious millennium viruses, if left unchecked, could cause serious
damage to various areas of the international infrastructure, especially the
international telecommunications infrastructure. One virus, for example,
specifically targets major companies' telephone Electronic Switching
Systems, randomly rerouting calls. Three other malicious viruses will
actually lock a processor in a divide by zero loop, which, if left running
for a sufficient amount of time, will overheat the Central Processing Unit,
causing it to melt down and effectively reducing the computer to scrap
metal. Similarly, a different virus will wreck

Assistance to Israel
FY1949 - FY1999

--

Folks, I don't know about you, but it's pretty
clear to me, come 2000, some changes have to
be made.  Israel is only one of many Countries
that lobbies the D.C. thugs for "assistance".

While I haven't researched it yet, it's my
understanding we taxpayers are giving away
perhaps 200 billion each year;  could be on
the high side, not sure yet.

I have yet to read of any accountability for
this "assistance".

Don't' you think it's time we demanded an end
to this nefarious use of our tax dollars?

Come 2000 we can do it by NOT voting for the
candidates of the Jewish media lords;  or is it
going to be business as usual in January, 2001?

Is their campaign "hype" so penetrating to your
sensibilities and common sense that when you
enter the voting booth you succumb to their
"demand" for whom you are to vote "for"?

At what point do we, the middle class, vote for
"enough is enough!"??

Don't forget all those broken campaign promises.

You see Folks, we, the Voter, are in the driver's seat
on Election Day;  or don't you get it yet?

All you Whiners about high taxes and big government
who don't Vote are the Problem;  or don't you still
get it yet?  You people sit back and go to your sporting
events, have your six-pack and beat your wife and all
is well.  While the rest of us are forced by the thugs
to pay for the successes of the Lobbyists.

The insidious agenda of the Fabian Socialists is to
destroy our Culture and our Republic;
or don't you dummies out there get it yet?

No!  I don't consider myself a textbook "racist",
however, there is plenty going on in this Country
that could change my mind real fast;  and if these
injustices continue most assuredly will 'real soon'.

Bless each of you who desire limited government,
individual responsibility, and an immediate end to
the coercive roll the thugs are playing to please
the criminal lobbyists to ensure that the thugs
are re-elected.

Stop and think:  What caused our People to turn
against the Constitution which was designed for a
moral and religious people?

The Blame Game:  We all have to have a Culprit that
we can point to if "things" don't go right.

Folks, I'll tell you right now that you have been
victimized by the philosophy of the Demo/Repub coalition.

If your at all serious about overcoming your frustration
with performing the tasks of daily life (your natural
instincts) you will rise up from your easy chair and
go to the Poll and tell the tax-sucking thugs you have
had enough.

Caution!  Make damn certain you cast your
precious vote for a person that doesn't just give lip
service to the benefits of limited government.

And for you fickle voters, who gave us klintoon, remember
it's not how well a candidate looks physically;  it's what the person
has in the topside, and not what the person has below the
navel.  The corrupt media lords just love to play up
candidates who present an image to their liking.

You have to remember that when a newbie goes to Congress
the lobbyists eat them alive;  D.C. pressures being
almost unbearable to stay the course of the status quo.

Many, many bucks for the special interests are at stake,
Folks.  Remember that!  Also, Remember that it is Your
bucks the special interest find so appetizing when they
suck on them.

I know what I can change, and what I can't change.

But Brothers and Sisters I have one helluva a good time
attempting to educate you so "you will get it" finally.

Let Freedom ring  (cast out the thugs once
and for all and repair their damage to the foundations
of our American Culture, American Morals, and
American Values.)

Multiculturalism is a Fabian Socialist concept.

The new immigrant's desire to come here to be free can
only be achieved by assimilation into our American Society.

The Fabian Socialist tactics of promoting the cultural values of
recent immigrants only serves to divide the Nation, and ensure
the vote of the new citizen is cast for those thugs that
promise them (and give them) benefits and subsidies coerced from the
dumbed downed citizenry.

 study the book The Keys to this Blood by Malachi Martin. Then the
 Protocols of the Elders of Zion as described in the post you are
 talking about. You may also benefit by reading Dark Majesty by
 Texe Marrs about the royalty links in the perpetuators of the NWO.

 The PROTOCOLS are a well-known forgery.


   You are parroting the same-old "forgery" line.

   "Forgery" is typically defined as :

"A counterfeit copy of the genuine article,
that is virtually identical to the original."

   Are you suggesting that the "real" Protocols do exist, and
   that they are virtually identical to the known "Protocols" ?

   Or does the "forgery" charge refer to the substitution of
   "Elders of (Z)ion" -- for ("masonic") "Elders of (S)ion" ?


   Question:

   Why don't "Jewish" anti-Defamation police, and the people
   who parrot them, say what they "really" mean -- rather
   than endlessly "allowing" that "the Jews" -may- be engaging
   in the cover-up of the "real" (non-forged) Protocols ?

   Is maintaining a level of Gentile suspicion of Jews
   standard procedure for certain "Jewish" Power Brokers --
   who themselves directly benefit from "anti-Semitism" and
   subsequent Jewish separatism, fund raising, and votes ?


   Do many, or most, Jews fear being accepted as "equals" and
   "assimilated" as non-separatists -- or, is this just a fear
   of some "Jewish" Power Brokers, and those who parrot them,
   who covet their current status and power of intimidation ?

   Would reducing or eliminating mistrust of Jews in western
   democracies result in a "fatal" loss of Israeli population
   as Israeli Jews fled, en mass, the oppressive military
   apartheid (racist fascism??) of Israel, to emigrate to the
   security of "Gentile" democracies -- where any mistrust of
   Jews had been reduced or eliminated, as postulated ?

   Could apartheid Israel, or certain "Jewish" Power Brokers,
   long survive a wholesale elimination of that old devil,
   "anti-Semitism" in the west -- or in Israel ?

   (The birthrate of the current Arab population will soon
   inundate and politically absorb any non-apartheid Israel.)


   Is this age-old state of affairs some Gentile conspiracy ?

   If "nazis" and "anti-Semites" didn't exist, would certain
   "Jewish" Power Brokers obtain benefit by inventing, and
   even maintaining them ?

   Is "anti-Semitism," sadly, necessary and inevitable ?

   Is Jewish separatism -- maintained by the ancient fear of
   "anti-Semitism" -- absolutely mandatory for the survival
   of Jews and Israel, who would otherwise be assimilated into
   a humanist "One World Democracy," like everyone else ?


   Should Jews be held to the same standards as "Gentiles" ?

   Should Israeli gun owners have their guns taken away by the
   United Nations -- since all gun owners are "right wingers,"
   potential killers, violent separatists, "militia" bigots,
   and hate-filled "religious nuts" ?


   Should Israel open its borders to allow free immigration,
   exactly as most predominantly white (but not oriental)
   countries are doing ?


   When the western democracies are absorbed into the U.N.,
   will the U.N. turn against Israel -- and demand surrender
   of Jewish weapons and wide open Israeli borders -- or else
   face a massive 24/7 murderous bombing into submission --
   since there is no one left to object ?

   Does this indicate the United Nations may be, ultimately,
   the culmination of "anti-Semitism," and the end of the Jews'
   story -- the "final solution"..?


   Is the United Nations therefore, ultimately, a project
   of the "Black Nobility" -- i.e., the Phoenician,
   Venetian, Canaanite, Edomite, etc., enemies of Israel
   from ancient times -- whose cultural transmission flows
   "underground," in secret societies ?

   Is this postulated conspiracy no mere "Gentile" conspiracy,
   but rather a conspiracy that considers "Jews" to be just
   another very deluded type of "Gentiles" -- thus pawns, and
   incredibly useful idiots -- as perhaps openly hinted in
   "the Protocols"..?

   Do you know what the "Protocols" actually say in this light ?

 Gap Between Rich, Poor Said Growing

 By NAOMI KOPPEL
 .c The Associated Press

 GENEVA (AP) - Technology advances may be improving life for many people
 around the world, but they are also widening the gap between rich and poor,
 according to a U.N. report released today.

 An international effort is needed to meet the needs of poor people in areas
 of medical research, communications and information technology, according to
 the 1999 Human Development Report.

 Researchers with the U.N. Development Program examined income, education,
 life expectancy and health care in assessing the quality of life in 174
 countries.

 Among their findings were that purchasing a computer would cost the average
 Bangladeshi eight years' income, while the average American would pay one
 month's wage.

 Eighty percent of all websites are in English, but only one person in ten
 worldwide speaks English, the report continued.

 Even in more established means of communications the researchers found a gap
 between rich and poor.

 In the principality of Monaco in 1996 there were 99 telephone lines per 100
 people, while in Cambodia the figure was one. People in Switzerland make an
 average of six hours of international telephone calls per year, but in
 Pakistan the average is one minute.

 ``This (technology) is a two-edged sword - it is cutting many people in, but
 it is increasingly cutting many people out,'' the report's author Richard
 Jolly told reporters.

 Jolly said people using the Internet were increasingly young, white, male and
 well-educated.

 The report also ranks the countries and territories in a human development
 index based on real income, life expectancy and educational standards.

 Canada tops the list for the sixth year running, followed by Norway and the
 United States. The bottom 22 countries on the list are all in Africa, with
 Sierra Leone coming last.

 The top 20 percent of the world's population earned 74 times as much as the
 bottom 20 percent. In 1960 it was 30 times as much.

 ``The 200 richest people in the world have more money than the combined
 income of the lowest 40 percent of the world's population,'' said Jolly.

 Globalization did not necessarily make the situation worse, but Jolly said
 governments should take into account more than just trade issues when they
 consider international policy.

 The report says international policy making must balance a concern for
 profits with a concern for people who have been affected by turmoil in the
 global marketplace.

 It is also important to find a comprehensive approach to global threats such
 as HIV infection, international crime, human rights abuses by multinational
 corporations and transnational pollution such as acid rain.

 ``The aim is to put human concerns at the center of the globalization debate,
 to focus on the global interdependence of people and not just of financial
 flows,'' added Jolly.

"Betrayal Trauma: The Logic of Forgetting Childhood Abuse" - Jennifer J. Freyd
 (Pamela Freyd's daughter)

 U-Turn on Memory Lane by Mike Stanton
 COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW
 July/August 1997, pp. 44-49.

 Pamela Freyd seems more like the mother and grandmother she is than a
 revolutionary. But as a founder of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation,
 she has in fact helped revolutionize the way the press and the public view
 one of the angriest debates in America--whether an adult can suddenly
 remember long-forgotten childhood abuse.
 The subject of memory has always been a slippery one for
journalists.
 While there is a documented body of knowledge showing that people can
 forget horrific events and recall them years later, memory is not an exact
 science like nuclear physics, but rather an emotional arena of violent
 disagreement.
 Yet in the 1980s and early '90s, repressed memories were all the
rage
 among reporters and talk-show hosts as the media uncritically focused on
 accounts of abuse so dramatic and terrible that they must have been true.
 Some, it eventually became clear, were exaggerations or fabrications.
 Now, thanks largely to the efforts of the Philadelphia-based False
Memory
 Syndrome Foundation, the pendulum has swung equally far in the other
 direction. Formed as a support group for accused parents, the foundation
 has sought primarily to persuade the media of the dangers of psychotherapy
 in creating "false memories." Indeed, today there is open skepticism and
 outright hostility toward the idea that lost memory can be recovered. But
 often there has been no more hard-news reporting than before, leaving the
 issue essentially unexplicated in the press.
 A study published last year by a University of Michigan sociologist,
 Katherine Beckert, found a sharp shift in how four leading magazines--Time,
 Newsweek, U.S. News  World Report, and People--treated sexual abuse. In
 1991, more than 80 percent of the coverage was weighted toward stories of
 survivors, with recovered memory taken for granted and questionable
 therapy virtually ignored. By 1994, more than 80 percent of the coverage
 focused on false accusations, often involving supposedly false memory.
 Beckett credited the False Memory Syndrome Foundation with a major role in
 the change.
 Pamela Freyd (rhymes with "tried") started the foundation in early
1992
 with her husband, Peter, a University of Pennsylvania mathematician. He had
 been accused by their grown daughter Jennifer, a respected University of
 Oregon psychologist and memory researcher, of childhood sexual abuse, the
 memory of which she said she recovered as an adult. Since then, journalists
 across the country have felt the wrath of what Stephen Fried, a writer for
 Philadelphia magazine, calls "the most influentially dysfunctional family
 in America."
 It wasn' t Jennifer Freyd, but her parents, who made her allegations
 public. Pamela Freyd revealed the accusations, which neither she nor her
 daughter has ever specified publicly, among with personal details about
 her daughter's life, in an article that she wrote anonymously for a small
 journal sympathetic to accused parents. She later identified herself to
 reporters as the author.
 The Freyds blame their daughter's therapist for her memories of
abuse. But
 Jennifer Freyd denies that her memories surfaced, as newspaper articles
 and her mother have suggested, through hypnosis or any of the other
 therapeutic practices the FMSF attacks.
 Rarely has such a strange and little-understood organization had
such a
 profound effect on media coverage of such a contro-versial matter. The
 foundation is an aggressive, well-financed p.r. machine adept at
 manipulating the press, harassing its critics, and mobilizing a diverse
 army of psychiatrists, outspoken academics, expert defense witnesses,
 litigious lawyers, Freud bashers, critics of psychotherapy, and devastated
 parents. With a budget of $750,000 a year from members and outside
 supporters, the foundation's reach far exceeds its actual membership of
 about 3,000. The Freyds and the members know who we are but the press knows
 less than they are what drives them, or why they've been so successful.

Re: [CTRL] Dr. Cathy Burns Hidden Secrets of Masonry

1999-07-13 Thread Smart News

Hi !

Here's a book review with info on the Masons.

Sincerely,  Neil Brick


Book Review

 The  following article is collection of quotes and information from
that book. Warning: Some material in this article may be triggering,  please
use caution while reading it. All accusations are alleged. Ordering
information follows the article.

The beginning of  the book discusses the fact "that the majority of people
who join the Masons DO NOT really know what Masonry teaches... Delmar Darrah,
a 33rd degree Mason explains: "The average man enters Freemasonry with LITTLE
or NO KNOWLEDGE of the  fraternity,  its manner of organization,  or its
system of doing business." (Page  5)

"We are  told that Masons believe in charity and good works, but  Masonic
writer,  Ralph  Anderson,  a  32nd  degree  Mason, proclaims: "If the SOLE
value is ethical (MORAL).. then Masonry has  failed.. Arthur Waite... tells
us  that Masonry  "is ON THE SURFACE a 'system of morality, VEILED in
allegory and illustrated by symbols. " (Page 6)

"In fact,  Masonry INTENTIONALLY MISLEADS those Masons who have recently
joined. Pike (a 33rd degree Mason  mine), claims: "The  symbols  and
ceremonies  of  Masonry  have  MORE  THAN  ONE MEANING.  They rather CONCEAL
than disclose the truth."  . ."So Masonry jealously CONCEALS ITS SECRETS, AND
INTENTIONALLY LEADS conceited interpreters ASTRAY." (page 7)

..Pike  adds,  "Masonry,  like  all  the  religions,  all  the Mysteries,
Hermeticism and Alchemy,  CONCEALS its secrets from ALL EXCEPT the Adepts and
SAGES, or the Elect, and USES FALSE EXPLANATIONS  and MISINTERPRETATIONS of
its symbols to MISLEAD those who deserve only to be misled; to CONCEAL the
truth, which it calls Light,  from them,  and to draw them away from it.
(page 7 and 8).

Review author's note: Many cults  have what is called a hidden agenda. New
members are not permitted to know "the truth" until they are already too
deeply involved (or brainwashed) to leave. Most cults also have a severe
consequence for leaving the group, such as death, hell,  not  achieving
nirvana,  etc.

"When a person enters Masonry,  he joins what is called a Blue  Lodge.
Members of  this Lodge may learn the  first  three degrees...most  Masons
never  advance  past the  third degree The highest degree in the Scottish
rite is the 33rd degree. (Pg. 9). "Oaths are taken by the candidate and the
horrible penalties are  pronounced  upon  him  should  he  betray  the
SECRETS  of Masonry...the oath...for  the  first degree is:  . binding myself
under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut from ear to ear, my
tongue torn out by its roots, and buried in the sands of
the sea a cable's length from shore, where the tide ebbs  and  flows  twice
in  twenty-four  hours,  should  I  ever willingly, knowingly,  or unlawfully
violate this,  my Entered Apprentice Oath,  so help me God and keep me
steadfast." (page 9 and 10).

In a poem written by J. S. M. Ward, a Mason, mentions that Osiris saved
mankind.  "Osiris is the Egyptian god of the dead as well as a SUN-GOD but he
is also known by many other names... Festivals held in his honor often
resulted in HUMAN SACRIFICES AND ORGIASTIC  (sexual)   rites.  (page 17)  "It
is to this god, Osiris  (under the name of Hiram Abiff),  that the Masons pay
honor in the third degree...Any one who is familiar with Egyptian mythology
should be able  to  see  the correlation between  the myth of Hiram Abiff and
of the Egyptian god, Osiris. (page 18- 19)

"Waite acknowledges that: There is NO QUESTION  that the MYTH of Osiris
covers the WHOLE STORY of mystical life and is presented in the Funerary
Ritual  (the death and resurrection ceremony of the third degree)... We also
as Masons LOOK FORWARD TO UNION of the departed with Osiris..." (page 19)

"Since  the  gods  of  Masonry  ...  actually REPRESENT SATAN in different
camouflages  and since the SERPENT is widespread in Masonry and the Bible
clearly states that the SERPENT is SATAN,  we  see  that  the  Masons  are
in ACTUALITY worshipping SATAN  (LUCIFER).  "  (page  24) Review author's
note:  Satanists  often  "twist"  or "reverse"  the  Bible  to  desecrate
religions  and customs  that are "in the light".

"Pike  brags:   . Lucifer,  the  Light~bearer!  Strange  and mysterious name
to give to the Spirit of Darkness!  Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he
who bears the light..? Doubt it not !.   Masonic testimony is clear that the
SERPENT or SATAN (Lucifer) should be worshipped."(page 25)

"In  the  third  degree  the  Mason  is  given  a  SUBSTITUTE word.. Waite
suggests that the Word revealed in the third degree was of similar value to
our old friend ABRACADABRA''. He mentions elsewhere that since the sphere
of Ritual is also a sphere of SORCERY, on proceeding to initiation he is
given the symbol ABRACADABRA..  and is told it is the TRUE WORD Most
people know  that  the  word  ABRACADABRA  has  to  do  with  MAGIC,  but did
you know that

Like Hitler has been idolized as a great military leader.
Hitler was propped up and the line that he spouted
was started quite a few years before he was born.

Hitler burned much of what was written before that

1870-1914 The Germans and the Jews both had a devotion to learning.
"From it's inception in 1933, for instance, Germany won more
Nobel prizes than any other country, about 30 per cent of the
whole; but of Germany's share, the Jews provided nearly a
third and in medicine a half.  For Germany to turn on the Jews
was not just mass murder; it was, in a real sense, mass
parricide.  How did it happen?" ...

WW1 had this effect
"The war had a second effect. it transformed the way
in which Germany conducted its business.  Pre-war
Germany was the most law-abiding country in Europe.
civil violence was unheard of, un-German.  anti-Semitism
was everywhere, but physical violence to Jews, let
alone an anti-Semitic riot, was something which did
not, could not, occur in Germany.  The war changed
all that.  It accustomed men to violence everywhere,
but in Germany it induced a violence of despair.
The 1918 Armistice did not bring peace to central and
eastern Europe.  It brought a twenty-year interval
between two huge, open conflicts, but in this twenty
years violence, it verying degrees, was the main arbiter
of politics.  Both left and right used violence.  Lenin and
Trotsky set the pattern with their Putsch in 1917.  Their
Communist allies and imitators followed suit in Germany,
1918-20.  Jew were prominent in all these attempts to
overthrow existing order by force.   The Communist
regime in Bavaria included not only Jewish politicians,
like Eismer, but Jewish writers and intellectuals like
Gustav Landauer, Ernst Toller and Erich Muhsam.
The right responded by organizing private armies
of veterans, the Freikorps."

"In Russia, the arbitration of violence favored
the left, in Germany the right.  Jewish extremists like
Rosa Luxemburg and Eisner were simply murdered.
It ceased to be unusual for Jewish opponents to
be 'dealt with'.  In the four years 1919-22 there were
376 political murders in Germany, all but twenty-two
of left-wing figures, many of them Jews.  ..."

 Disinformation is the most powerful weapon and the most useful tool of all
 those which our self-styled "owners" use to keep us in line. To understand
 homophobia as a social phenomenon we must ask ourselves who benefits from
 the demonization and scapegoating of homosexuals. In a sense, homosexuals
 make an even more effective official pariah group than Jews. Like Jews,
 there are enough of them to appear to the unsophisticated mind to be a
 threat, yet there are not enough of them to actually be a threat. Like
 Jews, homosexuals range in appearance from easily identifiable to totally
 indistinguishable from the rest of us. Like Jews, homosexuals are both
 thoroughly dispersed throughout the general population and concentrated
 in certain neighborhoods. Like Jews, their persecution is a lucrative
 business, enriching their persecutors no
