But would the GOAT smoke it or eat it?

Or wear it, or use it as fuel, or feed cattle with it, or apply it as
fertilizer? -- if it's HEMP we're talking about here.  Sure would, if not for
Big Oil's anti-hemp conspiracy.   (While honeymooning in Kauai a decade ago,
I met the "Luther Burbank of Hawaii" who was working to save the state's
economy from profitless dependence on the sugar crop by growing fields of the
Chinese tallow plant, whose berry resin substitutes for petroleum and whose
components can be used for a variety of things, as is the case with hemp.)

But if you're referring to the psychoactive Cannabis: been there, done that
-- just as the Goat, if it really matters, has already "been there, done
that" with regard to many other frequently* productive avenues of
de-conditioning one's culturally and idiosycratically conditioned frame of
reference -- besides psychedelics, hypnosis (a field of thorough research and
even teaching for awhile in the early '70s, and a few times called in to
advise others in "deprogramming"), biofeedback (briefly a "star" test subject
for "alpha" expert Dr Joe Kamiya at Langley Porter Neruropsychiatric
Institute at UCSF Med Center here in San Francisco), sensory deprivation
(once did 8 hours straight in a Lilly tank -- rather boring), Jungian
"Creative Imagination" (a technique for evoking "archetypes," often with
profound reactions from the unconscious), "self-actualization"-oriented group
therapy (rose to de facto "facilitator" in one group in Chicago; once
intended to become a psychotherapist, before abandoning the field in disgust
in 1991, only 11 units short of a degree), lucid dreaming (toward mapping the
mechanism of "reality simulation" in dreams), astrology (focusing on the
correlation between long-term outer-planet cycles and recurring themes in
history; responsible in 1972 for the first 3000-year outer-planet ephemeris,
computerized from elements provided by the US Naval Weapons Research Lab in
Maryland) ... along with a variety of spiritual exercises (from Christianity
[almost became a priest], Kabbalah and Sufism, martial arts, Zen, Taoism,
Tantra, Kundalini yoga, the Gurdjieff Work, "ceremonial magic," etc) to one
degree or another, in my own heuristic fashion -- all in the interests of
greater (dual-hemispheric, figure AND ground) CONSCIOUSNESS without any
"unconscious."

And all this, mind you, before the formation of the modern "New Age"
marketplace, before many (?) of CTRL's subscribers were even born ...

But I take your comment as HUMOROUS in nature, and I'm chortling too at the
thought
of anyone taking the word of the Goat --here just one voice out of many, mind
you, and a grumpy old fart's voice much of the time-- TOO seriously.  Use
your own judgment, "Question authority," and "Trust no one," not even ME.
Apply your own mind to weigh
the truth (or probability of truth) or falsehood of what is said -- never
mind WHO said it.
(Hopefully a broad  base of knowledge plus my experience counts for
_something_, but even that's no guarantee of "truth" -- often with people I
find that a so-called "lifetime of experience" is in actuality only a few
years of experience defended across a lifetime ...)

"If you meet the Buddha on the road, KILL him."  Figuratively speaking,
that's the only
appropriate thing to do.  So if anyone puts the GOAT on a pedestal -- Roast
the Goat!

[CTRL] MK-ULTRA Film (Horror Fiction)

1999-07-18 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

Saw an eerie video last night, with a "subtext" that should raise goose bumps
in those wondering about MK-ULTRA or "Satanic" "mind controlled" assassins
and sex-slaves.
This horror  film has its own "cover story" explaining "why" what's going on
is going on, but if one dismisses that as a plot device, and if one just
studies the psychology and behavior of the characters, there's a
verisimiltude there, with gems of fact snuck in ...

It's "The Night of the Hunted" (French "La nuit des traquees") by director
Jean Rollin (best known for his "vampire" stuff), 1980, unrated (look beyond
its "gratuitous" sex and violence.), distributed by Image Entertainment
(http://www.image-entertainment.com)

Joe Bob Goat says "Check it out"

And 30 years to the day after Chappaquiddick.

Well actually, one day off...but close enough...

When I first heard the story about the plane being missing, I wondered
that perhaps in a few hours John-John would come sopping-wet into some
convenience store ont he Vineyard, claiming to have just swum to shore
from his downed plane...and that inside the plane would be found the body
of a woman who wasn't his wife

But it would seem he WAS traveling with his wife and sister-in-law...

But now the current version has it that it would seem he went down
relatively close to the Vineyardstrange, what with all the people
they now have out there searching, both private and military, that they
can't seem to find any trace of the plane in relatively shallow water...
not even an oil slick

My gut feeling is saying that they'll never be found...or, that if
anything is 'found', it'll be at least a week or two from now, perhaps
longer...and what will be found will raise more questions than it
answers...

Yes, there will be 3 bodies on board, but decomposed and eaten by fish
enough to effectively be unrecognizable...

But perhaps I'll be proven wrong, and they'll find the plane today...

But I'm still wondering why he never radioed the Vineyard airport of his
approach and intending to land...especially if he missed the approach and
was circling around to make a 2nd attempt, as the fisherman is reported
to have seen...

But that may have been enough, if he wasn't someone who was going to
solidly endorse Clinton's bid for the senate seat...his silence

  High-functioning autistic individuals seem to have a specific variation in
  the brain that may account for emotional and social learning impairments
  associated with autism. Researchers found anomalies around the amygdala,
  an almond-sized structure located deep in the brain that plays a role in
  emotion and mood. "We found a specific brain area that seems to be quite
  different anatomically." But "it's not the amygdala that is different,
  it's the pathways in or out that are different." These findings "indicate
  that even those people with autism who are really quite (high-functioning)
  have brains that are really quite different." Autism is a mental disorder
  characterized by extreme withdrawal and an inability to communicate or
  relate to others. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990716/17/health-aut13

  to actively study the UFO mystery. 3) Don't read any book or publication
  about UFO's. 4) Never question anybody important in public about the UFO
  subject or about the paranormal. 5) If you ever hear anyone talking about
  the UFO subject or the paranormal, point your finger at `em and burst out
  laughing. 6) Attempt to keep any and all discussion of UFO or paranormal
  subjects out of public and private schools. 7) Ridicule anything you read
  in the press, or any comments favorable to the study of the UFO subject or
  the paranormal by broadcast media. 8) If you know someone who purports to
  have had a "close encounter" experience, convince `em that there is just a
  little problem with their brains. 9) Get religion - join a religion that
  will make you feel bad about your UFO or paranormal experiences. 10) Just
  call up one of your buddies in CSICOP

Yes, DG, I meant that humorously; I've seen a few goats in my time 
I've seen what they can do to a garden.

And I've got you beat: I quit grad school in disgust with 6 credits to
go for my M.A. in English. Brown-nosing and back-stabbing aren't my
style (front-stabbing is another story), but what did it for me was
student teaching. The first time I graded papers for an English 101
class, the basic writing class that all college students take, I was
told 2 things: do NOT correct spelling, grammatical, or punctuation
mistakes, because I would hinder the students' creativity; and do NOT
give any grade lower than a B because I would hurt the students'
self-esteem. My mentor teacher then told her students that I was an
"intellectual snob" because I did my undergrad work at an Ivy League
college (actually 2nd tier; the only Ivy I applied to was Penn, I was
accepted but the financial aid package was not enough). So if you
wonder why Johnny with the college degree can't read, you know why.

And congratulations on being the first person I've ever heard use the
word "heuristic" outside of the classroom.

and a grumpy old fart's voice much of the time
Jon Winokur call this type of person a "curmudgeon" and means it quite
complimentarily. Mencken and Bierce were curmudgeons.

Yesterday they quoted a fisherman who was in the area on Friday night,
reporting he saw a small plane circling about 40 feet over the water,
making an approach the fisherman claimed was common for pilots who missed
the approach on their first trythe fisherman then supposedly said the
plane 'disappeared', and the MSNBC reporter made it a point to state that
the fisherman stated 'without a sound'...

The 'big explosion' reports only started being made late yesterday
afternoon...strange, since for hours people were wondering where Kennedy
may have gone down, one would think that all these people who heard an
explosion the night before would have been coming forward well before
late Saturday afternoon to report what they'd heard...

As with TWA800, I suspect the earliest reports probably are more
accurate, and what we hear reported in the media as time goes by are
being 'spin doctored'...

On another note -- anyone know why Bill Clinton has been 'in seclusion at
Camp David' all weekend?

enclosed below, can also be accessed at our Web site: www.truthinmedia.org,

“Strategy Guru” Announces Death of Progress, Fails to See the Looming

DEATH OF THE CORPORATION

   There Is No Business Like Show Business: The Hamel Show

--

Editor’s Foreword About This Special TiM GW Bulletin on Global Business Trends:

Even by its sheer length (15 pages, 7,500 words) you can see that this is
no “ordinary” Annex Bulletin.  Nor is it “ordinary” by the breadth of the
global business trends and strategies which this Special Bulletin covers.
They span a 20 year-period of our industry analysis and research.

Despite the “weighty” topics, we tried to write it in our usual,
easy-to-read style.  But it will be far from easy reading.  It will require
careful attention to detail, and a solid grasp of business and technology
trends. 

As always, do let us know if you have any comments or questions. Happy
reading! Bob Dj.

--

BOSTON, July 13 - There is no business like show business, they say.  And
Gary Hamel is certainly in the show business.  He proved that with an
outstanding shtick - the opening keynote speech on June 12 at the “CSC
Exchange” executive business conference, here in Boston, MA.  The Hamel
Show had drama, laughs, sex, intrigue… all necessary ingredients for a
successful entertainer.  But it also had lots of food for thought, not a
typical element of today’s media shows. 

What The Hamel Show didn’t deliver, however, is a clear vision of the
future.  And no wonder.  As Winston Churchill once said, “I never like to
prophesy about the future.  It is a much better policy to prophesy about
events which have already taken place.”  

We don’t know how much of Churchill’s writing Hamel has read, but he
certainly practices his advice.  You won’t find any forecasts at his Web
site.  Nor did he stick his neck out during his shtick.

Hamel kicked off his speech with a dramatic announcement that, “the age of
progress is over.”  The progress which started in the Renaissance days, “is
now dying in the closing days of the century.”

By “progress,” Hamel meant, of course, the industrial era.  But by a clever
substitution of the two terms, he produced the desired goal of every
performer - grab the audience’s attention early.

It was at this moment that this writer realized that he was attending a
show, not a lecture.  Because Hamel had just sacrificed accuracy for
effect.  A real scientist, lecturer or a strategy guru would never have
stooped that low.  True, the show must go on, even in the world of
academia, but only if the integrity of facts and opinions is preserved.

So what was wrong with Hamel’s startling intro-bomb?

It went off late.  Way too late, especially for someone billed as a
“strategy guru.” The industrial era, or “progress” as he put it, has been
dying for about three decades now, not just “in the closing days of the
century.  We’ve said in a number of Annex Research reports and executive
workshops, some going all the way back to1983, that Corporate America’s
downsizing was merely a symptom of the industrial era’s mortal agony. 

We’ve pointed out many times, for example, that the Fortune 500 employment
peaked in 1969 as percent of the total U.S. jobs.  And that it crested out
in absolute terms in 1979 - 20 years ago.

The number of Annex Bulletins and workshop slides which cited these trends
over years is to be referenced here individually.  But you can easily check
out our comment to that effect from the Mar. 8, 1996 issue of the New York
Times, for example, which was also included in the subsequently published
Times book, “The Downsizing of America” (Random House, 1996).

But even if Hamel doesn’t read the Times, or if he has missed this writer’s
quotes in the business media about the earlier deaths of his “progress,”
there is no excuse for any so-called “strategy guru” not to have read the
1979 book, the “Third Wave,” by Alvin Toffler.  

Two years before the IBM PC was born, and one year after Hamel quit his
medical administrator job to study international business at the University
of Michigan, Toffler spelled out with uncanny precision the various reasons
why

News Manipulation Noted at NBC on Gun Issues
Letters to Drudge
6/10/99 Nancy Shack

Letter to "Drudge Report" -- posted on Letters to Drudge

Dear Mr. Drudge,

Howie Carr and The Howie Carr Show had an interesting experience with
NBC's Nightly  News with Tom Brokaw on Tuesday. NBC called us and asked if
we would discuss the topic  of the effect of the Littleton shootings on our
listeners attitudes  towards gun ownership. Lisa  Myers had a piece
scheduled for that nights news broadcast and she wanted popular reaction
footage to complete her piece.

We agreed. In the first hour of the show Howie asked the listeners how
they were effected if at all while the NBC cameras rolled. We took 33
calls. 30 of those calls  said the effect of the shootings was to make them
want to own a gun for protection and not  tighten up the laws.

When the story aired on NBC that night Lisa Myers said that according to
polls (which ones she never identified) and popular reactions on talk shows
most people were  in favor of stricter gun laws and were against gun
ownership. She went on to play one of the 3  anti-gun phone calls from our
show completely ignoring the 30 calls which did not agree with  her
premise.

This manipulation and skewing of the actual poll results from our show  has
caused quite a stir among our listeners who were heard the gun hour and
then witnessed the blatant misrepresentation of what the majority response
was on NBC news. It has  left much of our audience feeling mistrustful and
angry with network news in general and  NBC specifically. (By the way, this
gun control feature led the news while China and the Cox  report was buried
11minutes into the broadcast.)

Thanks for letting us vent.

AIDS BIOENGINEERING ON TRIAL

The issue of governmental involvement in the creation, production and
proliferation of the aids virus will be resolved in the Federal court in
the Northern District of Ohio before Federal Judge Lesley Brooks Wells. The
complaint (Graves v. Cohen [Secty. of Defense] 98 CV 2209) filed by Boyd E.
Graves on September 28, 1998 contains direct evidence of bioengineering,
including the Congressional Testimony of the Pentagon given on June 9, 1969
and July 1, 1969 before a U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee.

"The Pentagon's testimony of June 9, 1969 leaves no reasonable doubt of the
absolute culpability of the government," remarked lead plaintiff, Boyd E.
(Ed) Graves to John Mangels, Medical Reporter for the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. "The overwhelming and substantial credible evidence will
sufficiently prove the government bioengineered the AIDS virus by
recombining a cow virus [bovine spongiform encephalomyelitis-Ed.] and a
sheep virus [visna virus-Ed.). The evidence will also show this recombined

mathematical epidemiology of the AIDS virus proves a large number of
persons had to be simultaneously exposed.

Additionally, the epidemiological profile of the early AIDS virus in the
United States mirrors with remarkable similarity the epidemiological
profile of the Cohort Study Group of the Experimental hepatitis B vaccine

concludes Graves. An initial ruling to certify the Class [in the Class

INTERVENER STATUS SOUGHT BY CANADIAN FOUNDATION IN LANDMARK US AIDS CLASS
ACTION SUIT

Donald Scott, President of the Common Cause Foundation, has announced that
his organization will apply for intervener status in the class action
lawsuit against the US Government filed by Boyd E. Graves of Cleveland,
Ohio.

In the suit filed on September 28, 1998 before Federal Judge Lesley Brooks
Wells, the Plaintiffs allege that the U.S. Department of Defense was
involved in the "creation, production and proliferation of the AIDS virus".


The suit is based upon government documents obtained under the Freedom of
Information Act. The critical document is a record of Hearings held on June
9, 1969, between the Pentagon's top researcher, Dr. D.M. MacArthur, and
several U.S. House of Representative Congressmen. In those Hearings
MacArthur reveals that the Pentagon would produce "a new microorganism
which would be refractory to the human immune system" and for which "no
natural immunity could have ben acquired (AIDS)." Dr. MacArthur had
projected a 5 to 10 year time frame, and the first AIDS cases appeared
within that time.

"The historical documentary evidence and the scientific evidence is very
compelling that the U.S. Department of Defense did, indeed, develop the
AIDS virus as a biological weapon for strategic (ie population control)
purposes," says Scott. "The scientific evidence is equally strong," Scott
also suggests. "Beginning with an article in the November 26, 1987 issue of
Nature Magazine ("Characterization and molecular cloning of a bovine
lentivirus related to human immunodeficiency virus" by Matthew A. Gonda et
al) provides a solid basis for Mr. Graves' case," claims Scott. The article
Mr. Scott refers to states that the similarity between the HIV and the
bovine counterpart is so close that "sensitive type-specific assays will be
needed to discriminate between them."

Such solid scientifically based research has been under-reported and the
media has picked up on the most ill-founded "AIDS from monkeys" claims. The
Common Cause Foundation will offer the Class Action plaintiffs any help
that it has in bringing all historical and scientific data it possesses to
the attention of the Court.

Today's Lesson From The Time Machine

by H. G. Wells


The enemy I dreaded most may surprise you. It was the darkness of the
new moon. Weena had put this into my head by some at first
incomprehensible remarks about the Dark Nights. It was not now such a
very difficult problem to guess what the coming Dark Nights might mean.
The moon was on the wane: each night there was a longer interval of
darkness. And I now understood to some slight degree at least the reason
for the fear of the little Upper-Worlders for the dark. I wondered
vaguely what foul villainy it might be that the Moorlocks did under the
new moon. I felt pretty sure now that my second hypothesis was all
wrong. The Upper-World people might once have been the favored
aristocracy, and the Morlocks their mechanical servants: but that had
long since passed away. The two species that had resulted from the
evolution of man were sliding down towards, or had already arrived at,
an altogether new relationship. The Eloi, like the Carlovingian kings,
had decayed to a mere beautiful futility. They still possessed the earth
on sufferance: since the Morlocks, subterranean for innumerable
generations, had come at last to find the daylit surface intolerable.
And the Morlocks made their garments, I inferred, and maintained them in
their habitual needs, perhaps through the survival of an old habit of
service. They did it as a standing horse paws with his foot, or as a man
enjoys killing animals in sport: because ancient and departed
necessities had impressed it on the organism. But, clearly the old order
was in part reversed. The Nemesis of the delicate ones was creeping on
apace. Ages ago, thousands of generations ago, man had thrust his
brother man out of the ease and the sunshine. And now that brother was
coming back--changed! Already the Eloi had begun to learn one old lesson
anew. They were becoming reacquainted with Fear. And suddenly there came
into my head the memory of the meat I had seen in the Under-world. It
seemed odd how it floated into my mind . . .

. . . These Eloi were mere fatted cattle, which the ant-like Morlocks
preserved and preyed upon--probably saw to the breeding of. And there
was Weena dancing at my side!

Apocalypse Now

Will the "Big Bang" Machine Destroy the Earth?

Creation of a black hole on Long Island?

A NUCLEAR accelerator designed to replicate the Big Bang is under
investigation by international physicists because of fears that it might
cause "perturbations of the universe" that could destroy the Earth. One
theory even suggests that it could create a black hole.
Brookhaven National Laboratories (BNL), one of the American government's
foremost research bodies, has spent eight years building its
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) on Long Island in New York state.
A successful test-firing was held on Friday and the first nuclear
collisions will take place in the autumn, building up to full power
around the time of the millennium.

Last week, however, John Marburger, Brookhaven's director, set up a
committee of physicists to investigate whether the project could go
disastrously wrong.

It followed warnings by other physicists that there was a tiny but real
risk that the machine, the most powerful of its kind in the world, had
the power to create "strangelets" - a new type of matter made up of
sub-atomic particles called "strange quarks".

The committee is to examine the possibility that, once formed,
strangelets might start an uncontrollable chain reaction that could
convert anything they touched into more strange matter. The committee
will also consider an alternative, although less likely, possibility
that the colliding particles could achieve such a high density that they
would form a mini black hole. In space, black holes are believed to
generate intense gravitational fields that suck in all surrounding
matter. The creation of one on Earth could be disastrous.

Professor Bob Jaffe, director of the Centre for Theoretical Physics at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is on the committee, said
he believed the risk was tiny but could not be ruled out. "There have
been fears that strange matter could alter the structure of anything
nearby. The risk is exceedingly small but the probability of something
unusual happening is not zero."

Construction of the £350m RHIC machine started eight years ago and is
almost complete. On Friday scientists sent the first beam of particles
around the machine - but without attempting any collisions.

Inside the collider, atoms of gold will be stripped of their outer
electrons and pumped into one of two 2.4-mile circular tubes where
powerful magnets will accelerate them to 99.9% of the speed of light.

The ions in the two tubes will travel in opposite directions to increase

political systems from the drug warriors, the cultural ayatollahs, and
the various corporate mega-destructo gangs, ranging from the
military-industrial complex to the HMOs ad infinitum.

 To get a full synthetic grasp of The Revolution® in its many
multifaceted aspects, it is necessary to READ ALL THE DOCUMENTS IN THE "

ULYSSES S. GRANT AND THE C.I.A.

In 1863, a full three years after the start of the Civil War, Abraham
Lincoln was a very frustrated President. In those three years the
500,000 man Army of the Potomac had not engaged and followed through a
major battle. Gettysburg was nowhere near the Union victory it could
have been. Under the indecisive and self serving leadership of Generals
Meade and McLellan the Army had maneuvered and lost a few minor battles
to aggressive Confederate leaders like Stonewall Jackson. Lincoln even
said out loud that all Meade and McLellan could do was accumulate
things: men, horses, cannon, uniforms, food and power. Meanwhile, way
out west, in Mississippi a drunken, disheveled reprobate named Grant was
refusing to follow orders to sit and wait. While Meade and McLellan pos
tured to increase their influence and prestige, Grant was out kicking
butt. While Meade and McLellan feared making a mistake that might hurt
their careers, Grant was taking risks.

I had no idea when I started this newsletter and put up my web page how
many people would try to tell me whom and whom not to trust. I had no
idea that some might accuse me of trying to profit and live a good life
from this horrible scandal. For the record, in the twenty years since I
was forced out of LAPD, I have earned less than seventeen thousand
dollars from this while having spent more than thirty. I live in a
one-room studio apartment and drive an eleven-year-old car. The money
for this newsletter and the web page came from my mother's trust fund.
Thanks Mom. Celerino Castillo, one of the DEA witnesses to CIA drug
dealing, who CIA wants badly to silence, lives in a house trailer and
has trouble paying his phone bill. If others who are fighting are doing
better then that's wonderful and it should be so. But I think I can
speak for Cele, DEA veteran Mike Levine, Gary Webb and a few others
dedicated to exposing CIA's role in the drug trade that none of us would
put our personal welfare ahead of victory. And none of us would ever
waste a moment to undercut a fighter who was in the trenches with us.

In a moment you will read about former Special Forces troop Bill Tyree
who is the nail in CIA's coffin. I am in possession of documents about
Tyree and the CIA Watchtower missions, which are the hammer to drive
that nail. As Bill Tyree fights for his life and puts the evidence
necessary to hang CIA on a platter for us, he has been food poisoned
three times and, as a possible pardon or a new trial for him becomes a
possibility, his life is increasingly in danger. Stack that up against
anyone trying to make a buck out of this and see which side you fall on.
If I ever consider my welfare before the outcome of this struggle or if
I ever speak ill of someone who is really fighting this fight then I
invite all of you to kick my butt. In the meantime, remember that the
bible offers a good rule by which to judge those who claim to be on our
side, "By their fruits ye shall know them." Are so-called experts
gathering information and doing nothing with it? Are they pointing only
to themselves as leaders? Are they telling you to wait? Are they
speaking against those who have risked their lives and fortunes? Logic
will tell you whom to trust.

When Lincoln promoted Grant over about fifteen senior Generals to take
charge of all Union forces, respectable Washington demanded an
explanation. Lincoln gave them one. "He fights." - Mike Ruppert

Another Kennedy Hit??? by Barry Chamish

Alright, it's early in the game, but the media is already telling us that
John-John was a lousy pilot who lost his bearings. That his plane was too
fast for his dull reflexes. etc. etc. This smells of prepared disinformation.

That Kennedy fell on the 30th anniversary of Chappaquidick suggests a ritual
murder. What was the motive?

John Kennedy Jr., publisher of George Magazine, was quietly, or not so
quietly, depending on the reader, exposing political conspiracies to the
masses. He was the only publisher of a major American magazine, to publish a
full report on the Rabin assassination conspiracy and to name Israel's
Secret Services, the Shabak, as the perpetrator. This eight page article,
purportedly written by the patsy Yigal Amir's mother Geula, was commissioned
and ghost written by two Jerusalem-based writers, one of whom has impeccable
credentials in Israeli left wing circles.

Lately he was trying his best to get to the bottom of the George Wallace
conspiracy of 1968, which knocked the former Alabama governor out of the
Presidential race. Of interest was Wallace's exposure of America's hidden
rulers throughout his campaign. Kennedy had just, personally, conducted long
interviews with the aging Wallace, who spelled out his information on who
was behind his shooting.

Nosy, influential Kennedys, convinced the tragedies that befell kinsmen
John, Robert and Edward were wide-ranging political hits, will develop

We are already being given a tremendous variance of John Jr.'s experience
and ability as a pilot.  I heard on MSNBC last night that he had 1500 hours
flying time.  Later, I have read/heard as low as 100 hours.  Seems any
mainstream reported could get the correct info easily.  Why so many opinions
and differences of his ability/experience?  Obviously a conspiracy here. :)

[CTRL] Latest Rivero TWA 800 Article

1999-07-18 Thread Gavin Phillips

 -Caveat Lector-

www.newsmax.com

"The Government Has Lied to Us About TWA 800"
Michael Rivero
July 10, 1999
Recent posts have celebrated the exoneration of Don Adams, who
was acquitted of obviously trumped-up charges resulting from his
anti-Clinton protests and the reaction of teamster thugs.
It is well that we celebrate each and every triumph of justice in this
nation, justice having become an increasingly endangered species in
our society.
Thus it is that I must again call your attention to the ongoing ordeal
of James and Elizabeth Sanders, convicted of the theft of a swatch
of fabric from the wreckage of TWA 800.
They were prosecuted under an obscure law intended to deter
souvenir hunters, and in one of the case's many bizarre twists, the
FBI agent in charge of the TWA 800 investigation, James
Kallstrom, also broke that same law. Kallstrom, as was reported in
the newspapers and as he admitted to in court documents, removed
an item from the wreck of TWA 800 to give away as a memento;
the very act the law in question was written to deter.
To be accurate, James and Elizabeth Sanders didn't steal anything.
The actual removal of the fabric was done by TWA pilot and crash
investigator Terrell Stacy. Stacy didn't want a souvenir. Neither did
James Sanders. The fabric was sent to a lab for analysis of a
strange red residue that tainted three rows of seats in the wreckage
of the 747.
Journalists are always exhorted to "check their facts." James
Sanders did just that. The government stated, as a fact, that the red
residue was 3M seat glue, and James Sanders checked that fact. In
hindsight, he had good reason to.
For such insolence, James Sanders and his wife were arrested,
charged and convicted. Meanwhile, James Kallstrom, guilty of the
same exact offense, walks free. Terrell Stacy, who actually broke
the law in question, was charged with a misdemeanor. The Sanders
have been convicted of a felony.
The reason for the disparity in charges, between the man who took
the fabric and the couple to whom that man gave it, is the
government's desperation to lock the Sanderses away from the
public; to bury with them the darkest of dark secrets in this whole
affair.
The results of the lab test on the Sanders' swatch of TWA 800 seat
fabric called into question the official government declaration that
the strange red residue was 3M seat glue. And evidence entered into
the court record proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the
government not only lied when it stated that the red residue was
seat glue but, more damning yet, did so knowingly and with malice
of forethought.
The government claimed that a lab test done by a NASA scientist,
Dr. Charles Bassett, proved that the residue was 3M seat glue. On
the basis of that one result, the government maintained, and
maintains to this very day, that the red residue was seat glue.
But during the discovery phase of the Sanders trial, Dr. Charles
Bassett swore under oath that his tests did not link the red residue
to seat glue. More to the point, the tests he was asked to perform
for the NTSB could not have made such a determination. Even
more damning, efforts by Bassett to coax the normally pale green
3M seat glue into assuming the reddish color of the residue all
failed.
This is the "other verdict" in the trial of James Sanders.
The government lied. In fact, now documented in a court of law,
what they had was a lab test that proved exactly the opposite.
In the trial of James Sanders, regardless of the verdicts handed
down by the jury, it is the government that leaves the courtroom
branded a liar.
It's official now. The government is lying to the public about TWA
800.
And not just about the red residue and bogus lab tests. Many other
lies have been exposed, including the initial denial of the status of
the warning zones, the presence of military vessels near the crash
site, the workability of the pingers on the flight recorders; even the
government's explanation for a suspicious line of flight recorder data
has been proven to be a lie. The claim that a noseless 747 can
maintain stable flight and climb 1000 feet per the government's
cover story is both aerodynamically and structurally impossible.
But the government's claim that a lab test proved that the red
residue was seat glue is not only another in a long list of proven lies,
it's a lie that was exposed in a court of law.
Just think about what that really means, to know for a fact, proven
in a court of law, that the government is lying to the public about
TWA 800. It means, for one thing, that the mainstream media,
which still parrots the claim that the red residue is seat glue, is also
lying - yet another nail in the coffin of the mainstream media's
credibility.
It means that the government is using your tax money to pay public
relations firms, intelligence operatives and media assets to lie to you.
Nowhere in the Constitution is the government given the right to lie
to the public, much less use the public's money to do so. It's 

[CTRL] New Article on Reno by Chris Ruddy

1999-07-18 Thread Gavin Phillips

 -Caveat Lector-

Analysis: Janet Reno -- the Cornerstone of the Clinton Cover-ups
Christopher Ruddy
June 14, 1999
Miami -- In the middle of the Chinagate scandal maelstrom sits U.S.
Attorney General Janet Reno. Already several top lawmakers have
called for her to resign.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Reno has managed
"probably the most disgraceful Justice Department since the Teapot
Dome scandal of 1923 when the attorney general had to resign
because of corruption."
Reno's efforts to cover-up for Chinagate, the Clinton's scandal du
jour, are legion. But one fact stands out above all others: Reno
refused to authorize a wiretap request in 1997, when the FBI
wanted to monitor Los Alamos espionage suspect Wen Ho Lee.
According to Investor's Business Daily, this was the only wiretap
request she denied out of almost 2,700.
Even before the Chinese nuclear espionage allegations shook the
political landscape, Reno had been covering for the Clintons' special
dealings with China. Despite the FBI director's recommendation and
the request of a Justice Department official she appointed, Reno has
steadfastly refused to appoint an independent counsel to investigate
whether Clinton sold America's most sensitive nuclear and military
secrets for campaign cash.
Actually, Janet Reno has been in the middle of every maelstrom
involving the Clintons since her appointment as Attorney General.
From Waco to Travelgate to Vince Foster's death to Whitewater
obstruction to China-Lippogate, Reno has done exactly what she
was appointed to do. She has held the floodwaters of justice from
ever reaching the Clinton White House.
The truth is that Janet Reno was the most important appointment
made to the Clinton cabinet. Bill and Hillary Clinton, professional
white-collar criminals, knew that their attorney general would be
critical to their hold on the presidency. They also knew their choice
for the Cabinet post would come under close scrutiny by Senate
Republicans.
Eventually they settled on Reno, a Harvard Law School graduate,
who had returned to her Miami, Florida home and become a local
prosecutor before being named by Governor Reubin Askew as
Dade County State Attorney.
The Clintons' First Choice
The way history records it, Janet Reno was the accidental Attorney
General, a third choice who luckily got picked because of the
unexpected failure of the first two candidates. That history, as it
turns out to be falsified one. Janet Reno was no accident.
The real details about Reno's ascendancy were sketched out to me
one afternoon by a friend and one-time associate of Janet Reno. We
met at a restaurant in the bohemian enclave of Cocoanut Grove
here in Miami -- once a stomping ground for Reno.
Reno, her associate told me, was actually the first choice of the
Clintons because of her notable track record in Miami: during
Reno's legal stewardship of Miami it became a mecca for drug
dealers, money launderers, corrupt politicians and other hoodlums.
It was during Reno's tenure here that the city earned its well
deserved nickname from a highly-rated television show "Miami
Vice."
Last year, Miami became the center of controversy when a state
court removed the sitting mayor because of voter fraud. But,
according to Reno's former associate, voter fraud flourished while
Reno served as Miami's chief law enforcement officer.
Investigative reporters James Collier and Ken Collier detailed in the
1992 book Votescam how they uncovered pre-printed voter ballots
in a warehouse rented by a Miami political candidate. Following the
advice of their editor, they seized the evidence and took the illegal
ballots to the State's Attorney, Janet Reno. Incredibly, Reno had the
journalists arrested, rather than investigate how a candidate had
pre-printed ballots in his possession.
As Reno's former associate noted, she was a perfect match for the
Clintons because she had a near-perfect record of not prosecuting
white-collar criminals or politicians. No one ever accused her of
taking bribes or conspiring with criminals, but she was frequently
criticized by her political opponents for her naiveté. It was alleged,
too, that she was susceptible to blackmail for personal indiscretions.
It was clear from Reno's tenure as Miami's figurative top cop that
she liked holding public office. She focused on safe issues that she
cared about, such as preventing child abuse, while drug dealing,
money laundering, and political corruption were rampant.
It is generally acknowledged that Hillary Clinton by covering for her
husband during the Gennifer Flowers flap had earned the right to
name nominees to a number of cabinet posts, including the Attorney
General. Hillary Clinton, whose brother had served as a legal aid
attorney representing indigent defendants, prosecuted by Reno's
office, had firsthand information that Reno was a patsy for the
criminal element.
The Dade County state attorney shaped up as the ideal Clintonian
candidate for the post. She was a woman. She was

Sherman Skolnick will be putting out a report on the shootdown
later this morning. (RMNews will forward it as soon as it comes in.)

Here is what we know:

The plane is similar to the old "Cherokee Six" which is a very
reliable aircraft. It's counterpart in a car would be a Chevy
suburban. It is a pussycat to fly and you would virtually have
to force it into a stall.

It was equipped with a radar transponder that would transmit a
4-digit ID code and the altitude to any enquiring approach control
radar. That's how they identified the plane and its very rapid
descent,5,000 feet in a minute or two(Similar to TWA 800).

The Textron/Lycoming 6-cylinder engine has had some trouble with
wrist pin caps coming loose and taking out the engine in flight.
Even if it did, the plane could ahve gone into a slow glide and
made a soft-water landing.

There was no mayday or voice radio communication indicating trouble.
The plane had a 406 mhz satellite distress beacon which woukld have
notified FAA at once along with exact latitude and longitude. This
device must be activated by the pilot. It is not automatic.
This leads one to believe that there was a sudden and catastrophic
occurence leaving no time for calls for assistance.

The fact that a severed wheel and a headrest have been retrieved
indicate the airframe and cabin are disentegrated. Even if the
plane had made a hard-water crash, the wings would have been torn off
but the landing gear and the cabin,though crumpled, should be intact.
When the Challenger went down, the cabin was intact as were the
the bodies.

Although JFK did not file a flight plan, he could have been under
close surveillance(as Diana was in her final days) and a plan for
his elimination could have been on the shelf waiting for implementation.
It is rumored that the NWO will kick in at Y2k and they are slowly
eliminating any personages who could rally the country to prevent
tjhe takeover.

The rapid descent and no distress call are consistent with a
stinger or sidewinder shootdown or an on-board bomb with a descending-
altuitude pressure trigger(He was descending and on approach to
the yard)

It seems strange that Clinton has not already dispatched Navy
salvage vessels which easily locate the wreckage. It is perhaps
they are somewhere crashing a similar plane to have "Wreckage"
to bring up that doesn't show missile or bomb damage.

This event is very strange. The plane was brand new, equipped with
every conceivable device and there was no turbulence, rain or
gusty winds.

Comments welcomed. Please distribute widely.

[CTRL] Economy of Lies

1999-07-18 Thread Bill

 -Caveat Lector-

 Economy of Lies

 The cost of enforcing the illegal prohibition of hemp and
marijuana has been phenomenal.  This cost has become a
veritable pork barrel by which elitist politicians, at the
behest of their elite owners, are able to abscond with huge
amounts of the publics money, to enforce special interest
laws that benefit only them and their industries.
Monopolistic and dynastic characteristics epitomize
industrys goals as far as fair competition is concerned.
Fuels, Materials, pharmaceuticals, and recreational drugs
(Budweiser:King of drugs) have been sewn up tight, with
legislation and its attendant law enforcement keeping the
lid and cuffs on for their bosses, the ultra-rich.  Billions
of dollars of the peoples moneys have been spent to secure
monopolys that act directly against the interests of the
public, as concerns business and fair competition.  Years
have been lost and gargantuan chunks of productivity thrown
to the wayside, while huge conglomerates tighten the collar,
nay, noose, to the point of strangulation.
  To enforce these laws of monopoly huge prison
industries have been spawned, to incarcerate those who would
have the colossal audacity to compete with big business on
its own terms.  Most times examples are made of the small
fry "Criminals",  fodder for the fear machine of television,
which A) is NOT a press, and B) is owned by the very
interests who wish to lock down opportunity and fair
competition.
 Individual states are right now introducing action to
sue for damages against tobacco.  They say that the medical
expense incurred by tobacco users warrants this, and they
mean to recoup the losses of the monopolistic Federal
Reserve Insurance Interests.
 My question is this.  Once it is shown how badly
Americans have been ripped off as far as fair competition in
the marketplace is concerned,  which means ever since hemp
and its products and byproducts were illegally made illegal,
and the beneficence of this crop is once again realized as
an alternative to fuels and materials production; once the
inmates who are serving time for using this natural
substance as a recreational drug  (mostly as an alternative
to the very debilitative alcohol) get released from jail,
who is going to sue government for all the lost time and
lives spent in jails that were created for no other reason
than to restrict fair trade in America?  Who?
 The reason marijuana has not become re-legal so far is
because government understands only too well the mistake
that was made when they capitulated to William Hearst, and
the Duponts and the Mellons when those apes railroaded hemp
illegality through the law system by using yellow journalism
scare tactics.  They have been able to enforce the
conditioning through television, but Americans are not
really stupid and are waking up.  So whos going to pay us
back the money that was stolen from us?  Where is the money
going to come from?  Who will pay to tear down the prison
"INDUSTRY", which is still being used to restrict fair trade
in American markets and the World, and who will pay to have
them converted to useful and productive institutions,
instead of the holding pens for those who have challenged
the elitist criminals in control now?  WHO?
 The lock down is so thorough that surveillance has
become the norm among the elite who need every advantage
they can lay their hands on, because people really are
waking up from their television induced fear/hysteria.
Prisons no longer need to be locked buildings and cells.  It
is possible, and has been well exercised by the super
powerful, to make prisoners of anyone, at anytime, by
controlling them through surveillance.  Look at what is
available as far as surveillance equipment is concerned,
versus countersurveillance equipment.  Look at the cost and
understand, KNOW that the devices are restricted to only
those of upper echelon means. The Goddess Columbia is dying,
has been dying ever since she was raped and left bleeding in
the gutter at the beginning of this century.  But there are
those to avenge her, and as ugly as her downfall was, the
downfall of the perpetrators of lies and special interests
will be AT LEAST that horrible when it happens.  10/9/98

Prudy's response suggests that I suggested that some people think

our own bad behaviour because someone else behaves badly too.  The
point of Sobran's article seemed to be to construct just such an

chiefs and Moslem traders who actually did the enslaving." Ah, but
EuroAmericans transported and marketed the slaves, bred and worked
and profited from the slaves, repressed and exploited the slaves -
when they weren't busy repressing/exploiting/slaughtering Indians
and each other and anybody else within reach.

 Prudy is correct here.  The fact is that we are all slaves on one
 level or another.

Ah, virtual slavery.  We are all ANYTHING at SOME level or another.
If you can tell someone else what to do, you're a virtual king or
slavemaster.  If other people can make you do things you don't wish,
you're a virtual slave.  But this isn't the same as real live actual
chattel slavery, where you're bought/sold directly; where immediate
work and obedience are required of you without payment, under pain
of a direct threat of force.  The "wage slave" has many more options
that the chattel slave, is not subject to the same direct physical

Some other virtual situations: If you pant, you're a virtual dog.
If you loan someone a quarter, you're a virtual banker.  If you
drive too fast, you're a virtual escapee, or a virtual race driver,

The Clinton administration had nothing to do with JFK Jr.s disappearance.
If anything, he was the great white hope of the Democratic party and
certainly a possible contender for power if he had lived.

If you're looking for a list of suspects, you don't have to look any
farther than the real power behind the American NWO: the Bush family who
are linked to the Texas oil faction that helped engineer JFK's murder.

[CTRL] On: Pilot Disorientation... (fwd)

Re: M.A. Johnson's posting of:

THE MOST IMPORTANT PILOTING SKILL
by Neal Boortz  (www.boortz.com)

Judgment.

[...]

Throughout the coverage of the JFK Jr. Situation on Saturday
I did not hear one commentator or expert address the issue
of spatial disorientation. In my book, The Terrible Truth
About  Liberals, I dealt with this aspect of flying in a
chapter entitled "48 Seconds."

The chapter title comes from the life expectancy of a
non-instrument rated private pilot who strays into the
clouds  into what is called "instrument meteorological
conditions." That life expectancy is about 48 seconds.

[...]

I did hear one expert expound this as the probable cause of the
mishap. Since I was channel-surfing at the time in a desperate
attempt to evade the relentless and wretchedly excessive coverage
-- [e.g. tuned to "France Deux" on Channel 56 to get some news:
"Le evenement tragique -- est'ce famille Kennedy maudit?" -- I do
not recall which network carried the expert opinion.

The crux of it is:

The non-pilot might think that it would be easy to keep an
airplanes wings level without outside visual references.
Not so. Within seconds after wandering into the clouds
your body will start telling you that the airplane is doing
things - turning, for instance - that it simply isnt doing.
You will turn the wheel or move the yoke to stop the turn.
Finally you might get to the point where your body tells
you everything is OK. Its not. By that time you are
probably in a diving turn, heading for the ground. My
flight instructors called this a "death spiral." If you
pop out of the bottom of a cloud into clear air with enough
altitude above the ground you "might" be able to level the
wings and pull out of the ground in time. An inexperienced
pilot might, however, see what is happening and pull back
on the yoke so sharply that the airplane enters an accelerated
stall and simply falls from the sky. At this point about 48
seconds, on the average, have elapsed since you wandered
into the clouds.

If the pilot took his hands off the controls the aircraft would
ease into the spiral descent described above. This is because
most light aircraft have an unstable mode known in the trade as
"spiral divergence." Lindbergh wrote in his book "33 Hours To
Paris" about how he had fallen asleep at one point, to be
awakened by the sun flashing in his eyes periodically as his
aircraft descended in a slow, lazy spiral towards the sea. On the
other hand, if the VFR-trained pilot attempts to control the
aircraft after "losing the horizon" he will probably make things
much worse. Although Kennedy's aircraft came equipped with the
requisite instruments, attempting to use them without the proper
training would be a real ball of snakes.

In view of radar sightings which showed the aircraft making a
sudden descent from 2,200 ft to 1,300 ft (and beyond?) the likely
explanation for the mishap is that the haze closed in, the pilot
became disoriented, lost control and spun in. It happens.

This point was covered by me and others on two Fox-TV live
segments out of Dallas yesterday.  All the facts aren't in, of
course, and probably won't ever be, but it seems clear to me that
the "best guess" right now is disorientation, followed by an over
correction (or a correction applied backwards) that caused a loss
of control resulting in a high speed spin into the water at a
near vertical angle at something around 300 knots.

I also hit the judgment issue pretty hard --

A Single Engine Land Private Pilot with no IFR rating, only
around 200 hours of total flight time, with experience flying the
aircraft type in question limited to three months, takes off on
an night flight over water, flying into deteriorating destination
weather.  This is nothing but a major failure in judgment.

I said on Fox-TV yesterday (local Dallas Station) that if I had
been at the Essex County Airport in Fairfield, New Jersey, and
was a non-pilot who needed a quick ride to Martha's Vineyard, and
had been offered a lift by JFK, Jr., on Friday night (and knew
what he knew about his training and experience) I would not have
taken him up on his offer to fly me to Martha's Vineyard unless
"it were a matter of life and death" (a little intended irony
there which I think went right by my anchorman).

[CTRL] My First Love: Freedom [if urs 2,then u must read]

1999-07-18 Thread Bard

 -Caveat Lector-

ON FREEDOM


 "Freedom" is probably one of the most used—and misused—words by politicians
of all stripes.  If anything, "freedom" is probably used more by statist
politicians, the destroyers of freedom, than anyone else.  Tyrants have
almost always sold their tyranny to its victims in the name of "freedom."

What is freedom and do you have a right to it?  If you do, why?

Before proceeding farther, take a moment to write down your answer to these
questions.   What is freedom?  Do you have a right to it?  If so, why?

Your definition of freedom should be confined to one, brief sentence.  If
you claim you have a right to freedom, your answer should be restricted to a
single sentence—no more.

Remember, that the purpose of a definition is to provide a concept with
identity, to distinguish that concept from all others.  A definition should
clearly set apart that aspect of reality to which a concept refers from all
other aspects of reality.  Your definition of freedom should make its
meaning real.

This may seem like a schoolhouse exercise, but give it a try.  Write down
your answer, then go to the remainder of this article.  You will find it
instructive.   And it will provide you with a clue about why freedom has
been on the defensive for all of the 20th century.

Freedom is the ability to act without the initiation of force (or its
threat) being used against you.  You have a right to freedom because your
life is your property, yours to live as you see fit (as long as you do not
violate the right to life and liberty of another).

If you are free, you have the unfettered ability to pursue your own
happiness, to make those choices needed for the sustenance of your own life.
In a semi-free society, such as we have today, your options are forcibly
limited by statist politicians on the implicit claim that your life is not
your own.  But take special note of this important fact: your ability, in a
free society, to make unfettered choices is the consequence of being
unfettered, i.e., of being unconstrained by the initiation of force.
"Having choices" is not the definition of freedom, it is simply one of the
consequences of being free.

Now, consider your definition of freedom.  Is your definition corrupted,
even if slightly, by the definition of freedom which has been put forth by
statist politicians?

Statists define freedom as "having a choice," the kind of choices only
available to an armed thug or a statist politician.  Consider the role this
definition of "freedom" has played, and continues to play, in the rise of
America’s welfare state—more accurately characterized as America’s parasite
state, one in which some forcibly feed off of the earnings of others.
Having successfully substituted the statist definition of "freedom" in the
minds of most, statists argue, to quote from Fatal Blindness, "that children
of poor parents do not have the ‘freedom’ to attend the college of their
choice or the ‘freedom’ to receive the very best medical care because of a
lack of funds or that some struggling artists do not have ‘freedom’ of
expression because they lack money…."  The logic of such arguments has
driven, and continues to drive, statism’s rapacious growth, bringing us
statist programs that forcibly take your money in order to provide others
with more "freedom," all at the expense of forcibly denying you the freedom
to decide how your money is to be spent.

Statists are all over the place offering new "freedoms," new choices made
available through the initiation of government force.  By means of
compulsion, statists make options available to some by denying free choice
to others (which is what statists are attempting to do in the case of
Microsoft in their attempt to force Microsoft to include Netscape in Windows
98).  In the name of "freedom," statists destroy actual freedom.  In the
name of "choice," statists destroy actual, free choice.

We now have statists claiming that poor children are being denied equal
access to the Internet, that we must provide them with the same "freedom"
enjoyed by others, that you are to be forced to pay for computers for these
poor children—which means: you are going to be forcibly denied the freedom
to refuse to pay for such computers.

And now we have our chief statist, Clinton, pushing for a patient’s "bill of
rights," for a new set of "freedoms" that will be acquired by means of the
initiation of force, either forcing certain individuals to do certain things
or forcibly forbidding them from doing some things—which means: certain
individuals will be forcibly prevented from interacting voluntarily with
others, destroying real freedom.   And if they can do it to these
individuals, they can do it to you.

If actual freedom is to be secured for ourselves and future generations, it
must be clearly defined.  As I have stated on more than one occasion, you
cannot defend what you cannot define.  If the statist definition of
"freedom" continues to be accepted by a majority, 

[CTRL] Boot Camp for Inner City Youth (fwd)

1999-07-18 Thread William Hugh Tunstall

 -Caveat Lector-

-- Forwarded message -


 LOS ANGELES, California, USA, October 20, 1998 (U.S. Congressional Press
 Release) - Hundreds of 11 to 13 year old students living in working class
 neighborhoods of Los Angeles are being targeted for a program which
 requires students to attend a military-style boot camp at Camp San Luis
 Obispo called Angel Gate Academy when they would ordinarily be on vacation.
 Under the program, anyone with brown skin has been classified as an "at
 risk youth" and their parents, many who are immigrants from countries with
 military and police terrorism against civilians, are being told that
 attendance is "mandatory" even though the program was officially described
 as "voluntary" by its sponsor, U.S. Congressman Julian Dixon
 (Democrat-South L.A.).  To blunt criticism, the program is being sold as
 remedial math and science classes.  None of the participants was sentenced
 to the boot camp by a judge and none have broken any law as with a boot
 camp in Arizona where negligence recently killed some of the young
 prisoners who were California residents. However, they are being compelled
 to participate in military-style regimentation, drill and behavioral
 conditioning exercises which are designed to discourage individuality and
 encourage them to enlist in the military when they get older.  During this
 four-week "emersion" program, students are watched and told what to do
 24-hours per day in a manner resembling military recruits or prisoners,
 even though they are highly impressionable and emotionally immature
 pre-teenagers, most of whom have never been away from their families
 before.  The presumption of the program is that Latino pre-teenagers will
 become "juvenile delinquents" if they don't receive military-style
 indoctrination.

 The boot camp is funded by $4.2 Million from the Defense Department budget
 and is administered by California National Guard troops who are neither
 qualified teachers nor given any background screening to protect the
 children from the possibility of abuse or neglect.  Julian Dixon has used
 his position on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on National Security
 to sell this program as an essential contribution to "national security."
 Fiscal Year 1999 will be the SIXTH consecutive year this program has been
 forced upon Latino youth in Los Angeles.  Local community organizers have
 repeatedly voiced their outrage at the tactics being used to coerce
 students into going  to boot camp, but they have been largely ignored by
 the Los Angeles Unified School District and the California National Guard
 which are implementing the program.

 EDITOR'S NOTE:  This program closely parallels the use of corporate funding
 to establish  High School Police Academy magnet schools at High Schools in
 the City's Latino and African American neighborhoods.  Like the Hitler
 Youth in Nazi Germany, it suggests a conscious effort by the government to
 pre-determine the values and behavior of working class youth at an early
 age so they will grow up to be the gung ho "loyal party members", police
 and military troops of the future.  Like the Hitler Youth, it is the
 government's preferred alternative to funding adequate public education and
 giving people the chance to have a job which pays a living wage when they
 grow up.

[CTRL] THE PARASITE STATE

1999-07-18 Thread Bard

 -Caveat Lector-

THE PARASITE STATE


One of the major problems with the defenders of freedom is that they are
losing the sound bite war, the battle of brief comments that help make an
argument stick in the minds of listeners and/or readers. Well, here is a way
to begin to change this by calling the welfare state what it really is: the
parasite state. This is not name calling, but an accurate description of the
statist system of government in America.

A parasite is a living creature which feeds, without permission, from the
life of another. Statist politicians institutionalize parasitism, a process
in which some human beings forcibly feed off of the efforts of those who
earn their own living.

The parasites in America are not just the so-called poor. The parasites
thrive on all income levels, including the wealthy. Consider the manner in
which they consume the lives of the productive.

The poor use the parasite state to forcibly take your money to provide them
with the so-called basic necessities, with food, housing and clothing.

Those with average incomes use the parasite state to take your money to
build their bridges, their highways, their schools and anything else which
might improve their lives. These are the recipients of the so-called "pork
barrel" projects which emanate from Congress, at the behest of the most
dangerous lobbyist in America: your Congressman.

Among the wealthy, we have parasites who get their money, not by honestly
earning it, but by using the force of government to provide them with a
special advantage, such as local cable companies who are granted a
government-enforced monopoly to eliminate competition. Then there are those
who gain their wealth from lucrative government contracts, contracts awarded
in exchange for political contributions.

Conventional wisdom claims that the solution to the foregoing is to limit
campaign contributions, that money has corrupted the system. However, the
truth is this: the corruption lies in the nature of statism, in a system
which claims the "right" to forcibly take your money and give it to others.
It is not money which has corrupted the system, it is the parasite state’s
claim to your money, and to your life, which is corrupt.

The first step toward eradicating an evil is to correctly identify it. To
identify parasitism is to destroy it. Let statists attempt to defend
parasitism. They won’t be able to do it. It is indefensible. The only way
they can continue with their deadly game of gorging themselves off of your
earnings is through obfuscation, by covering up the real nature of what they
are doing.

Who wants to be identified as a parasite? Certainly not the parasites, who
hope to avoid the light of day, who hope you never discover what they are
doing. What politician would be able to stand before voters and defend a
government of the parasites, by the parasites and for the parasites? Not a
single one—at least, not in America. Yet, in fact, in America, statist
politicians succeed in defending the parasite state by simply never
identifying it. Instead, in the name of children or safety or health or
education or some other supposedly noble goal, statist politicians promote
program after program whose only purpose is to forcibly siphon off your
money, put it into the pockets of parasites and increase the power of
statists.

No one can defend the morality of a parasite. It is immoral for an
individual to spend his life mooching off of others. It is viciously immoral
for an individual to force you, at the point of a gun, to fork over your
money—yet this is precisely what statist politicians do, so their bloated
supporters can continue to receive unearned funds.

Think about your neighbors, friends and acquaintances. Most of them would
never dream of personally doing what their hired guns, statist politicians,
do on their behalf. But the anonymity of the voting booth, and the
intellectual camouflage provided by statists, permit them to remain
oblivious to statism’s meaning and to do by surrogate what they would never
have the guts to do to your face—forcibly take your money. This means they
know they have no moral right to your life and money—and this means you have
the upper hand if you assert yourself by clearly identifying what statists
are doing.

If enough begin to name the real nature of statism, it will put statist
politicians on the defensive, it will be the beginning of their retreat. But
as long as statist politicians continue to succeed in cloaking what they are
doing, freedom in America will continue its slow, downward spiral.

101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) ON ALERT!
---



The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky,
was placed on alert today.

The dispatch came from an associate of mine I knew during my 2 years
in the 5th Special Forces Group, who is stationed at Fort Campbell,
with ties (still) to our "home" base, Ft. Bragg.

It would be interesting to know the Military's reasoning for this
drastic move. Information also indicates that the 82nd Airborne
Division has also been placed on alert. I'm being told that the
(reason) for this is the possible use of U.S. Troops against U.S.
citizens either in the coming attack against the Patriot/Milita
communities (reported to be on 8/4/99) in which they would be used
either as backup troops to the UN/NATO forces already in position,
or as "Peacekeeping" troops for the entire Western region where
these attacks will take place, keeping the remainder of the American
populace restrainted and under control. Another reason I've been
given is the same  "Peacekeeping" roll for the entire country
after the "Nuking" of the East and West coasts by the Russians
(reported to be sometime between (9/9 - 9/14), keeping the
remainder of the American populace under control, under martial law.

I MUST STRESS that this information has not yet been coraborated
by more than one source, that source being a member of the 5th
Special Forces Group. I am in the process of doing that validation
process now. DO NOT run off in a panic - merely investigate as
throughly and as quickly as possible..

Q. Does the White House have a special outreach program for atheist groups?

— H.S., Bakersfield, CA

A. Representatives from a group called American Atheists, as well as other
atheists, were received at the White House in early May, where they aired
various grievances — based on the often-misconstrued notion of the
separation of church and state. One youngster, for example, complained that
he had been kicked out of the Boy Scouts — which of course is a private
organization. Nevertheless, the atheists expressed satisfaction with the
"very positive" first step with the Clinton Administration. The gathering,
reported the Religious News Service, "is believed to be the first formal
White House meeting between an organized group and representatives of the
President." The unbelievers’ contact was with a member of the White House
Office of Public Liaison who normally meets with representatives of the
religious community.

Re: [CTRL] My First Love: Freedom [if urs 2,then u must read]

1999-07-18 Thread William Hugh Tunstall

 -Caveat Lector-

Those are noble thoughts, Bard... uh ...the problem is from the time we
are born, we are living in a state of unfreedom.  If mom and dad were
fortunate enough to have money and property...perhaps, if they owned their
own business... you probably are well situated in the American
system.

However, if mom and dad had the "wrong" complexion, didn't own their own
business, didn't own their own house, and were wage slavesyour place
in the American system is far more tenuous. ...Of course, if you have the
"right stuff" (ie serve the interests of your social and economic
betters), you have an opportunity to enjoy a more generous slice of the
economic pie.

But during the earliest years of your life, you must live a decidedly
unfree and dependent existence.  You are dependent on the largesse and
support of mom and dad through your formative years.  You're a parasite, a
albeit a cute little onebut mom and dad are footing the bill and
taking care of your creature comforts.

When you
become an "adult," if you manage to scrape together a sufficient amount of
capital, you might go into business.only to discover that you are now
dependent on the vagaries of the marketplace.
Or you join the
eighty percent of your fellow citizens who lack capital and must sell
their talents, skills, bodies to those who do have capital.  Not much
freedom there, I'm afraid.

Of course, you can pick and choose which
master you will have, so you do have some measure of freedom of choice.
Should I work at this Target or should I work at KMart?  Should I work at
Arby's or should I work at McDonalds?  The wages are pretty much the
same...although the individual employers will vary, locations of the
establishments, decor, type of uniform you wear...  Speaking of uniforms,
you can always go into the military service that provides a rough form of
communistic offerings for its personnel: food, clothing, shelter, medical,
etc.
But without
capital, you will not be able to place a roof over your head, or feed
yourself... Every second that you are alive, you must pay for the
privilege of maintaining your existence.

If you're Steve Forbes, you'll never know what that is like... so although
we can speak in terms of being "free," some of us are MORE "free" than
others.

Of course, we can get into interesting arguments about how the wealthy are
slaves to their wealth, and they'll lose it if they don't maintain it in
certain ways, but like Mae West once said," I've been rich, and I've been
poor. Rich is better."

Now, conceivably, you could take to the hills to live a primitive
existence 'far from the madding crowd.'  But you won't be able to
effectively escape the power of the system.  Of course, the less dependent
you are on the system,the more "free" you are...to some extent.  But the
option of going back to the land, just 'roughing it' up in the hills is
probably not a possibility for some...  and if everyone tried it, the
American capitalist system would be interested in closing off this escape
route.

Why?  Because in order to maintain the "freedom" of the affluent,
someone has to do the dirty work...someone has to sacrifice himself or
herself in order for the few to live well.   In order for our system to
operate, we must remain taxpayers and above all, consumers... Someone has
to buy those products to keep the racket afloat.

Of course, we do have some measure of freedom.  We have a few choices in
what kind of products we can buy. Should I buy this slave-produced pair of
shoes that is manufactured in Taiwan (which will fall apart in three
months), or should I buy this other pair of shoes made in Indonesia that
will do the same?

Of course, we are free within our own minds.  'In my soul, I am
free.' Has a nice ring to it.  But even our minds are fettered by the
claptrap of the system not much freedom there.

Then, there is the biological clock ticking away.  Wasn't it Dylan who
sang, "He who's not busy being born is busy dying."  After many a summer,
dies the swan..  After you've spent a your alotted time in the labor
market, and you've suffered the thousand natural shocks which flesh is
heir to...you're no longer marketable..and fini.

But technology has made our lives more comfortable...but even that is
accompanied by problems... and so it goes.

  "Freedom" is probably one of the most used—and misused—words by politicians

seemed to me like a bad trip backward into the Stalinist '50s -- or forward
into "1984."  On the one hand, there were
the psych instructors and their students (mostly young, hopeful radical
feminists) who were using the field as an avenue for legitimizing sexual
pathology and finding paying customers for their own little private "victim
cults," while on the other hand, there were the department heads, Skinnerian
lab-coat types who favored the "psychiatric" model of therapy -- "classify
'em, drug 'em, and warehouse 'em."  Interning for awhile at a halfway house
for medicated schizophrenics, I saw that attitude at work in the people who
were evaluating my efforts.  No therapy except "work therapy" (labor
supporting the non-profit group) for the inmates, and very mercenary
peer-pressure politics among the keepers.

[CTRL] ASPARTAME - Is There Poison in That Can?

1999-07-18 Thread Bill Kingsbury

 -Caveat Lector-

 http://www.thewinds.org/archive/medical/aspartame02-99.html

"The thing that bugs me is that people think the Food and Drug
Administration is protecting them -- it isn't.  What the FDA is
doing and what the public thinks it's doing are as different as
night and day."
   --Dr. Herbert L. Ley, former Commissioner of the FDA


 ASPARTAME

 Is There Poison in That Can?

 Two-hundred fifty miles off the east coast of the United States,
 35,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean, the early afternoon weather is
 clear and a jetstream tailwind speeds Transglobal Airlines Flight
 901* toward New York's Kennedy International Airport. In the
 cockpit of 901 the captain straps on his oxygen mask as per FAA
 regulations because the co-pilot has left the right seat to tend
 to a biological need. Just before the pilot straps on the mask,
 however, he takes a large gulp from an aluminum can, finishing off
 a diet soda -- the only thing he has put in his stomach since
 breakfast.

 "Kennedy approach, TransGlobal Flight 901" says the Captain as he
 contacts Kennedy's Air Route Traffic Control Center.

 "TransGlobal 901, Kennedy approach, go ahead," the controller
 responds.

 "Kennedy, 901 inbound, flight level three-five-zero," the pilot
 replies, "two-five-zero miles east, request approach instructions."

 "901, Kennedy. Squawk three-two-zero-one."

 "901, roger," responds the pilot as he switches his transponder to
 the designated numbers.

 A few minutes pass, then, "901, Kennedy" the controller calls.

 No response.

 "901, Kennedy."

 Again, no reply.

 "TransGlobal 901, this is Kennedy approach, we have you on a
 descending right turn passing through flight level two-seven-zero.
 Climb and maintain three-five-zero, heading two-five-five degrees
 until further instructed."

 No response.

 "901, this is Kennedy approach. Come in."

 Nothing.

 "901, Kennedy we have you descending through flight level
 two-zero-zero at 4,000 feet per minute. Correct, climb and maintain
 three-five-zero."

 Further silence is followed by several more attempts by the
 controller to contact the airliner. Then:

 "Any aircraft in the vicinity of TransGlobal 901, this is Kennedy
 approach, we have lost 901 from transponder and ground radar.
 Please advise if you have radar contact or a visual on 901."

 --

 In this fictional scenario, the pilot consumes, on an empty
 stomach, a diet soda containing the artificial sweetener aspartame,
 [a.k.a. NutraSweet, Equal, et al]. Shortly thereafter, the captain
 experiences a grand mal seizure, a kind of brain electrical
 short-circuiting, rendering him unconscious and causing the
 aircraft to descend into the Atlantic Ocean.

 Highly unlikely? Even ridiculous? Perhaps, but not as much so as
 one might think. Even calling the story "fictional" may not be
 entirely accurate. On September 8, 1994, US Air Flight 427, a
 Boeing 737-300, crashed while maneuvering to land at Pittsburgh
 International Airport. All 132 persons on board were killed.

 The Associated Press (AP) reported that Flight 427's cockpit voice
 recorder indicates "the flight was routine until the final seconds.

 "Capt. Peter Germano," the AP report continued, "sips a cranberry
 orange juice and Diet Sprite drink ten minutes before the crash"

 Coincidence? Possibly.

 THE FLIGHT OF CAPTAIN HAROLD WILSON

 THE INCIDENT:

 At approximately 4:00 p.m. on August 13, 1987 Harold Wilson, an
 Australian-born pilot flying for the Alaska commuter airline
 Peninsula Airways, was approximately 1,000 miles out of Anchorage
 at 10,000 feet headed west over the Bering Sea. Captain Wilson was
 ferrying charter passengers to a fishing fleet en route to Atka,
 the most remote of inhabited islands in the Aleutian archipelago,
 when his life in a moment of time was changed forever.

 Capt. Wilson told The WINDS that with absolutely no warning
 whatever he went totally unconscious, his brain shutting off like a
 switch. "The first thing I recall was waking up afterwards," Capt.
 Wilson said, "and the passengers were wondering what in the world
 was going on. They thought I'd had a heart attack.

 "I was still gripping the aircraft's controls," Wilson recalled,
 "and had collapsed over the throttles disengaging the autopilot."
 The turboprop commuter plane then began a nose-down tight left turn
 corkscrewing toward the water two miles below.

 The first indication the passengers had that something wasn't right
 was when they heard the loud squeal from the autopilot's
 disengagement alarm. They then rushed to the cockpit, Wilson
 remarked, upsetting further the airplane's forward center of
 gravity which exacerbated and steepened their spiraling dive to the
 Bering Sea. By the time Capt. Wilson regained consciousness, they
 had plunged from 10,000 to less than 1500 feet.

 Wilson, a former flight instructor and aircraft engineer, was told

 The Roman Rota or ecclesiastical tribunal, acting on a report
 by someone claiming to be an injured party, alleges that Mgr
 Luigi Marinelli wrote Via Col Vento in Vaticano (Gone with
 the Wind in the Vatican), and has ordered him to appear for
 questioning with a lawyer. The prelate, who retired last year
 from the Congregation for Eastern Churches, has also been
 told to withdraw the book from circulation, and to halt any
 translations.

 The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,
 formerly the Inquisition, is also said to have opened a case
 against Mgr Marinelli over the alleged violation of Vatican
 secrets.

 The name of the author appearing on copies of the book
 published by Kaos Edizioni of Milan is "I Millenari", meaning
 the Millenarians. But the Rota says that Millenari is also an
 anagram of "Marinelli". Mgr Marinelli, while not denying
 involvement, has replied that the book was clearly
 co-authored, and claims that he is a scapegoat.

 The book, which names many of those it accuses, also again
 questions whether the death of Pope John Paul I was natural,
 and discloses the back-stabbing that went on in the fight for
 one of the Vatican's highest posts.

 It talks of cartels of power in the Vatican and of one
 monsignor regularly locking himself in his Vatican office at
 night with handsome young men "to do urgent work", and of a
 prelate being caught at the Swiss border with suitcases
 stuffed with dollars.

 One "elderly priest" showered so many presents on influential
 people in Rome that he became known as "Father Christmas"
 until one of his beneficiaries had him made a bishop, at the
 age of 72. He then "squandered millions", and various items
 of diocesan property mortgaged by him, including the bishop's
 palace and cathedral, were sold.

 "When he died, it was discovered that he had passed them to
 his natural son, who had never stopped blackmailing him," the
 book says.

 Corruption 'rife in Vatican'

 By Bruce Johnston in Rome

 AN Italian prelate who co-authored a book about alleged
 widespread sex, power and cronyism inside the Vatican said
 yesterday that Satan had "entered the Church".

 Luigi Marinelli said he would not be attending a hearing
 tomorrow to answer for the book, Gone With the Wind in the
 Vatican, as ordered by the Sacred Roman Rota, the Holy See's
 highest appeals court. He told Italian state television news:
 "I won't be attending because I don't want to blow the matter
 up any further."

 In another interview, he said the move against him was absurd
 and "mistaken in method and merit". It ignored his rights
 under Canon Law to discuss the matter first with his
 superiors. The book accuses the Vatican of careerism,
 Freemasonry, sex and corruption. It has sold 100,000 copies
 since its publication in Italy in February. The Vatican's
 reaction has merely fuelled demand.

 The Vatican has taken steps to stop the pro-homosexual
 campaigning of a priest and a nun in America. Robert Nungent
 and Jeannine Gramaick have been told that they are to be
 punished by the Sacred Congregation of the Faith for their
 "ambiguous opinions".

  A POPE AND A LAWMAN --

 LIES, MYTHS AND SLANDERS

 By: Phil Brennan


 Phil Lawler, the editor of Catholic World Report and a brilliant
 writer not to be trifled with, has had it, and in a blistering
 editorial in the July issue of CWR he expressed his disgust with
 the constant drumfire of criticism of the actions of late Pope
 Pius XXII in the face of the Holocaust.

 What set him off was a speech delivered to a New York audience by
 Rabbi Marvin Heir of the Simon Weisenthal Center during which Heir
 alleged that his Holiness "preferred silence" about the Holocaust.

 Heir than went on to assert that the Pope "sat on the throne of
 Peter in stony silence, without even lifting a finger" during World
 War II when Jews were being slaughtered by the Nazis.

 The statements were bald faced lies, and provably so. But Heir
 wasn't finished slandering the late Pontiff. He also claimed that
 "the Vatican adamantly refuses to open their files on the period."
 because the evidence concealed in those files would establish the
 Pope's guilt.

 Says Lawler: "Each of these statements is demonstrably false. Pope
 Pius XII was not 'silent' during the years of the Holocaust. He
 spoke out forcefully against the Nazis. Both during and after the
 war, objective witnesses testified to the power of the Pope's
 statements."

 Phil Lawler went on to cite examples:

 In 1941 the NY Times published a pre-Christmas editorial which
 said the Pope had "put himself squarely against Hitlerism" and
 having "left no doubt that the Nazi aims are also
 irreconcilable with his own conception of Christian peace."

 According to the late Golda Meir, a former Israeli prime
 minister: "When fearful martyrdom came to our people in the
 decade of Nazi terror, the voice of the Pope was raised for the
 victims. The life of our times was enriched by a voice speaking
 out on the great moral truths above the tumult of daily
 conflict."

 Before he became Pope, Cardinal Pacelli served as papal nuncio
 in Germany and later as Vatican Secretary of State. Writes
 Lawler:

 "In each post he repeatedly clashed with the Nazi leadership.
 In 1937, he helped Pius XI draft the encyclical Mit Brennender
 Sorge, a condemnation of Nazi ideology which was read from
 pulpits throughout Germany.

 In his own introduction to the encyclical Cardinal Pacelli
 warned against a 'war of extermination' which he feared the
 Nazis would unleash.

 "During the worst years of the Holocaust," Lawler writes, "the Pope
 was directly or indirectly responsible for saving the lives of
 thousands\sands of Jews.

 Israeli diplomat Pinchas Lapide "estimated that the Pope was
 personally responsible for the lives of 700,000 Jews.

 "The chief Rabbi of Rome was so moved by the Pope's efforts
 that he became a devoted friend of Pius XII - and, eventually,
 a convert to the Catholic faith.

 "Writing in the Jewish Anti-Defamation League's Bulletin in
 1958, Dr. Joseph Lichen said that the late Pontiff's
 'opposition to Nazism and his efforts to help Jews in Europe
 were well known to the suffering world.' "

 Heir's  absurd claim that the Vatican refuses to open its World War
 II and Holocaust archives gets short shrift from Lawler: "In fact,
 at the request of Pope Paul VI, a group of historians examined the
 material in those archives and produced an 11-volume report,
 containing abundant evidence of the Vatican's active involvement in
 efforts to save Jewish lives." Lawler then quotes Vatican spokesman
 Joaquin Navarro-Valls as saying that there is "nothing - I repeat,
 nothing" remaining in the archives that has not already been made
 available to scholars.

 Why, Lawler asks, "...would Rabbi Hier claim that the archives are
 sealed, when in fact they have been opened, and the evidence they
 contain has been made public? Could it be because the evidence
 exonerates the Pope - and confounds critics like Rabbi Hier himself.

 "Why would Rabbi Hier claim that Pius XII did nothing to oppose the
 Holocaust, when in fact the Pope was more vocal and more active in
 opposition to the Nazis than any other world leader. Why would he
 contradict the testimony of prominent Jewish leaders of the past,
 like Meir, Lapide, and Lichen? At best Hier is speaking about a
 subject of which he is woefully ignorant; at worst, he is
 slandering the memory of a great religious leader."

 Lawler laments the continuing campaign of slander against Pope Pius
 XII, and recommends "several fine historical studies - by the
 Jesuit scholars Pierre Blet ad Robert Graham,Sister Margherita
 Mercione, Charles Pichon and Oscar Halecki among others - each of
 which demolishes the arguments that underlie the smears."

  Regarding the disappearance of John F. Kennedy's plane
  and all passengers: weather radar images, which have
  proven useful a number of times in spotting anomalous
  electromagnetic/radio frequency phenomena, are missing from
  the archives for the eastern Long Island/Martha's Vineyard
  area during two critical hours during which JFK Jr.'s plane
  apparently crashed/disappeared.  This is significant due to
  that fact that Kennedy's plane was most likely taken down
  intentionally by a hostile action, most likely using an
  exotic weapons system.  We have noted that a particle beam
  weapons system is in place at the New World Order's secret
  underground base beneath Montauk Point, RIGHT NEAR where the
  plane was last caught on radar, going down.

1999-07-18 Thread C. Ray Talania








Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1



A NUCLEAR accelerator designed to replicate the Big Bang is under
investigation by international physicists because of fears that it might
cause "perturbations of the universe" that could destroy the Earth. One
theory even suggests that it could create a black hole.
Brookhaven National Laboratories (BNL), one of the American government's
foremost research bodies, has spent eight years building its Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) on  LONG ISLAND  in New York state. A successful
test-firing was held on FRIDAY (July 16, 1999) and the first nuclear
collisions will take place in the autumn, building up to full power around
the time of the millennium.

Last week, however, John Marburger, Brookhaven's director, set up a committee
of physicists to investigate whether the project could go disastrously wrong.
It followed warnings by other physicists that there was a tiny but real risk
that the machine, the most powerful of its kind in the world, had the power
to create "STRANGLETS" - a new type of matter made up of sub-atomic particles
called "STRANGE QUARKS".

The committee is to examine the possibility that, once formed, strangelets
might start an uncontrollable chain reaction that could convert anything they
touched into more strange matter. The committee will also consider an
alternative, although less likely, possibility that the colliding particles
could achieve such a high density that they would form a MINI BLACK HOLE. In
space, black holes are believed to generate intense gravitational fields that
suck in all surrounding matter. The creation of one on Earth could be
disastrous.

Professor Bob Jaffe, director of the Centre for Theoretical Physics at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is on the committee, said he
believed the risk was tiny but could not be ruled out. "THERE HAVE BEEN FEARS
THAT STRANGE MATTER COULD  ALTER THE STRUCTURE OF ANYTHING NEARBY. The risk
is exceedingly small but the probability of something unusual happening is
not zero."

1. Killing and Pillaging Continues Under KFOR’s Watchful Eyes

PRISTINA, July 16 - Killing of Kosovo Serb civilians and pillaging of their
property continues under KFOR’s watchful eyes, our sources within the
Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) report.  Under the cover of the western media
headlines filled with stories about the alleged Serb atrocities during the
war, there is an open season on Serb civilians who are being slaughtered
every day by the Kosovo Albanians.

Serb priests have become the only reliable source of information about
what’s really going on in Kosovo these days.  And based on the dispatches
which we have been getting from the SOC sources this week, every day
several Serbs are murdered in cold blood, while their property is taken
away or destroyed.  As a result, the World Food Program officials estimate
that there are now about 146,000 Serb refugees in Serbia who have fled
their homes in Kosovo.

Here’s just a small sampling of crimes being committed against the Serbs
during NATO’s Kosovo “peace,” excerpted from today’s SOC news dispatch:

“Tonight, Albanians have smashed the windows on Metropolis building in
Pristina. This is an ancient residence of bishops and a place for gathering
of the faithful. In the conversation with the priests from Pristina, we
have been informed today that the Serbian houses in Pristina are
continuously on fire, so the smell of smoke is always in the air. 

Yesterday, at 17:00, Bozidar Davcetovic, a Serb from Pristina, was shot and
killed by Albanians while in the town on some business.  His corpse was
buried today by the priest Milorad Cvetkovic. Only three persons attended
the funeral. 

Albanians have set fire to the church in Samodreza village, eight
kilometers away from Vucitrn, today. The church has been significantly
damaged, especially its altar and other valuables. 

Albanians have damaged the Holy Trinity church, built 4 years ago, in the
refugee settlement in Velika Reka, near Vucitrn. 

Yesterday, in Slovinje village, Albanians blew up an Orthodox church which
dates back to the 16th century, located only 70m (80 yards) in front of the
KFOR military base. 

Yesterday, in Gornji Livac village, near Gnjilane, Albanians wounded
Zivorad Jankovic and his son Zoran, at the time when they went out to their
farm to feed the cattle. 

In Klina, the church situated at the Serbian Orthodox graveyard was
demolished. In Petric village, the church was blown up, and completely
destroyed. The Karic brothers erected this church 7-8 years ago. In Dolac
village the church was burned to ashes. The church in Drsnik village was
completely destroyed too.

The church in Urekovac was demolished, the parish center was partly burned
down and partly demolished. In Pecka Banja, the altar in the church was
partly charred and partly demolished. Reliable sources have reported that
the Orthodox church in Urosevac has also been set on fire, but this has not
been confirmed. 

Milovan Kojic, priest from Lipljan, and Ljubisa Crvenkovic, member of the
Human Rights Protection Board, have given us additional information on the
situation of the Serbs in Lipljan, on the Holy Day dedicated to Saints
Peter and Paul ­ July 12.  In the main streets of Lipljan, in which the
Serbs form 95% of the population, a huge number of Albanians, mainly from
the other parts of the province, gathered and started their rampaging
against the local Serbs: setting of the Serbian houses on fire, throwing
Molotov cocktails and tossing hand grenades. 

About 11:00, Serbian houses in Aca Marovic Street were hurled stones at.
Molotov cocktails were hurled at four Serbian houses and at Ljubinko
Andjelkovic’s business premises. Three houses were mostly burned due to
that, but the Serbs managed to extinguish the fire in the mentioned
business premises. 

At 13:30, Albanians tossed a grenade at Miladin Mladenovic’s house, and
thereat Miladin’s son Zoran, aged 32, and Zoran’s friend Sorde Kosinac,
aged 33, refugee from Stimlje, were wounded. KFOR drove both of

Hopes fade for missing Kennedy plane

 Sunday, 18 July 1999 2:08 (GMT)

 (NOTE: federal investigators dispatched)
 (UPI Focus)
 Hopes fade for missing Kennedy plane
AQUINNAH, Mass., July 17 (UPI) - After a daylong unsuccessful search
 for a missing single-engine plane piloted by John F. Kennedy Jr., the
 National Transportation Safety Board is launching an investigation into
 the aircraft's disappearance.
An official statement tonight says an NTSB team has been dispatched
 to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts as the Coast Guard continues to
 coordinate "aggressive search-and-rescue activities."
As daylight faded, Air Force helicopters returned to Otis Air Force
 Base, to resume the search Sunday morning.
Hopes faded today as bits of debris from the Piper Saratoga were
 recovered and a piece of luggage was positively identified as belonging
 to Lauren Bessette, Kennedy's sister-in-law. Kennedy's wife, 33-year-old
 Carolyn Bessette, was also traveling with him.
The luggage, along with what appeared to be an airplane tire, washed
 up on Philbin Beach on Martha's Vineyard, and Lauren Bessette's name was
 on the tag of a black suitcase, said First District Coast Guard
 spokesman Lt. Gary Jones.
Jones said other debris - a head rest and carpeting that appeared to
 be from the plane - were found this afternoon floating in the water
 about 100 yards from nearby Gay Head Beach.
Kennedy and the Bessette sisters were traveling from Caldwell, New
 Jersey, to Hyannis Port for the wedding of Mark Bailey and Rory Kennedy,
 the last unmarried daughter of Ethel Kennedy and the late Sen. Robert F.
 Kennedy Jr.
The event was postponed, and what should have been a joyous gathering
 of the clan turned into a grim vigil as members of the Kennedy family
 waited anxiously at their storied oceanfront compound for word on the
 fate of the three.
An outdoor family mass was held, presided over by three Roman
 Catholic priests, as Mrs. Kennedy, other family members and around 275
 guests gathered to pray.
Among those present were Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., former U.S.
 Rep. Joseph Kennedy, Rory's older brother and JFK Jr.'s cousin, and U.S.
 Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo, who is married to Kerry Kennedy.
John Kennedy's older sister, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, was away
 on a rafting trip and had not planned to attend the wedding.
Sen. Kennedy's son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., was also away in
 California and immediately flew back to Boston, according to media
 reports.
Family spokesman Brian O'Connor said the family was initially hopeful
 that the three would be found alive.
But he said the mood at the compound turned somber when debris,
 apparently from the plane, began washing up on the western end of
 Martha's Vineyard.
There was no immediate comment from any of the family members.
Before the effort was scaled back at sunset, Rear Adm. Richard M.
 Larrabee told journalists the Coast Guard was still in a search-and-
 rescue mode. But the dispatch of federal investigators suggests
 authorities are now presuming the plane has crashed.
Coast Guard cutters equipped with high-powered lights will continue
 to search the sea south of Martha's Vineyard throughout the night.
Earlier in the day, the Civil Air Patrol withdrew from the search 15
 aircraft that were combing a 15-by-15-mile grid

Hi !

Here' s some information on an "alleged" MC survivor.

Sincerely,  Neil Brick

from: http://members.aol.com/SMARTNEWS/Sample-Issue-24.htm

Brice Taylor Article

The following article comes from an interview of Brice Taylor on CKLN Radio
(Tape 43A) by Wayne Morris. Please use caution while reading. It may be
triggering. Information will follow the article about Brice's books and
CKLN's tapes. Please note: all accusations are alleged.

"Brice Taylor, a former mind controlled, Presidential model sex slave
programmed to sexually service a number of U.S. presidents, foreign
dignitaries and other power brokers while maintaining a family life in which
she had no idea she was being used
by the government. They had gained this total control of her by her father
trauma conditioning her from infancy involving sexual abuse, deprivation,
ritual trauma, drugs, hypnosis and electricity, all of which created many
dissociated identities which were then programmed for certain tasks."

She discusses a member of the National Security Agency and the New World
Order. "What I understood was that they (the New World Order) were planning a
complete and utter economic collapse of the nations that would make the
Depression of 1929 look like child's play and through that, bringing people
financially to their knees, they would then come in and control them, by
bringing in whatever other measures they would need the guise of rescue -
when it certainly wouldn't be that at all.

Personally I would like to put a call out to people who are in any way
spiritually connected, knowing that this plan would never be able to be
brought about if we are spiritually connected and take action. My belief is
that  the people, even at the higher levels that are participating, may be
participating without knowing what they have been participating in, such as
members of the intelligence community who have been compartmentalized in
their knowledge of what projects they were participating in. I would
certainly put scientists that are inventors in that category. I would put
people that are in the Masonic Order that are perhaps at the lower levels and
are serving the plan at the higher levels without realizing that what they
are putting their actions into thinking that they are helping children and
people that are in need of help - when what they are doing actually is
serving the highest levels of evil and corruption and destruction of men,
women and children for use by others. People  need to realize that these
people they are serving are turning against their own and that we need to
take back our own spiritual power and stay connected spiritually in order to
know what to do and how to act, and how to see the truth, and how to discern
what lies and propaganda and strategies have been portrayed over the
television, in newspapers and in movies with intentional strategies.

I sat with the men who strategized about what thoughts and belief systems
they were trying to get people to adopt so that they could continue with
their plans. Mind control was their ace in the hole this generation, because
they felt that there couldn't be any mess-ups, and no human frailty or
weakness of mind or conscience if people were under mind control.

So I would just ask people to please open their eyes, and to begin to not
just take what they see that is given out by the government and the
intelligence community as truth and reality, but to begin to question and
think on their own."

Morris: "What do you feel that the public can do to thwart their intentions?"

Taylor: "I think people need to contact their local politicians and demand
information be divulged about the government experiments, the medical,
radiation, drug experiments, mind control experiments - all of that. I think
as people start learning about the internal structure of the Masonic Order
and how the programming works and how people's brain waves can be altered,
even at a distance ... I think people need to get very informed and educated
about what has gone on. I think we need to begin to simplify our lives ...
financially and in all ways in order to be able to take the time to evolve
spiritually and see what's really going on and connect deeply. Unfortunately
I think we are going to go through tough times, but we will have the
opportunity to make a spiritual stand as people were during the times of Nazi
Germany where they housed babies and people who were going to be killed due
to a sick genetic belief system. I believe that as we are able to really take
a stand and understand and help others,  that it will turn things around, but
I think a lot has been put into place and it's going to take some time to
undo it ... obviously with all the people who are under mind control who need
to be healed."

organized crime, and particularly trafficking in children, and I wondered if

"The Race Gets What It Needs."  Herbert

The part in Clarkes 2001 A Space Oddysey, at the beginning,
where the apes arechangedby the extraterrestrial
artifact, is fanciful, but not very likely. I tell you the
thing that lives here through us, or, more correctly, We
live here through It, and are but a Small Part it...that
thing is serious and it LEARNS and it BUILDS. Energy
transforms matter constantly, aeonically, and compared to
the ages and the emptiness we are a form of fire. It is slow
enough now, and enough of the initial transforming energys
have been sloughed off, so for a short time we are the fire
that burns here, as one form of the fire of the Burning
Universe.  I infer from activitys gleaned from acute
observation that there are electronics at work today that
are truly an alien life form. We don't need UFO's folks,
leaking technology, or human food-soul channeling from the
All.   Its quite possible this is here right now, and used
to control. The Non-von Neumann coupled with super
surveillance technology based on Recognition , Ultra
Inference and Worldwide Communications Networks. The code in
the dirt here which is a form of firelife burns the dirt and
we are part of its fire, and we have been given a piece of
the All, and contribute ignorantly self destructive, and
magnificently bold, to the identity. The subversion of this
type of technology for control purposes is paramount to
anti-survival behaviour, and isn't that funny, just as we
invent the next form of Life?

The Fifth Generation
Artificial Intelligence and Japan's Computer Challenge to
the World
Edward A. Feigenbaum
Pamela McCorduck
1983
Part 6  Chapter 18.
AI and The National Defense
"As was pointed out earlier , we have never felt comfortable
as a nation undertaking a large project merely for the
common good of the people. We have managed, however, to
spend a lot of money on useful (And not so useful) things,
as long as we could persuade ourselves it was in the
national defense.
Artificial Intelligence is among these. When no corporation
or foundation chose to take AI seriously, or could afford
to, The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the
Department of Defense supported it through two decades of
absolutely vital but highly risky research. Since The
pentagon is often perceived as the national villian,
especially by intellectuals, its a pleasure to report that
in one enlightened corner of it, human beings were betting
taxpayers money on projects that would have major benefits
for the whole human race.
In the late 1970's, as some parts of the technology were
ready to move beyond research, and into developement,
venture capitalists and industrialists flocked to AI
technical meetings, and either adapted the technology to
their own needs or set up firms especially to do AI. But the
early cultivation had been supported by ARPA, which deserves
credit for its enlightened scientific leadership.
Artificial Intelligence has gone out into the world, for
better or for worse, for commerce or defense. The Japanese
plan to rear this infant to full commercial adulthood. WE
BELIEVE THAT AMERICANS SHOULD MOUNT A LARGE SCALE
CONCENTRATED PROJECT OF OUR OWN; THAT NOT ONLY IS IT IN THE
NATIONAL INTEREST TO DO SO, BUT IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE
NATIONAL DEFENSE.
The so called smart weapons of 1982, for all their
sophisticated modern electronics, are really just extremely
complex wind-up toys compared to the weapons systems that
will be possible in a decade if Intelligent Information
Processing Systems are applied to the defense problems of
the 1990s.
In the summer of 1982, Feigenbaum was asked to give
scientific testimony on the current state of research and
developement in AI and expert systems to a panel of the
Defense Science Board, the highest level scientific group
that advises the U.S. Department of Defense. The panels
charter was to assess the possible impact of a large number
of current technologies (it is rumored they examined 70 to
80) on the Defense of The United States. In The report of
the panel, AI ranked seventh using an
opportunity-versus-risk measure, and second using an
opportunity measure."

Re: [CTRL] CONSPIRACY Re: JFK Jr's Plane is missing (fwd)

1999-07-18 Thread A. Szul Jr.

 -Caveat Lector-

MSNBC reports this evening that the US Coast Guard has changed the mission
to "search and recovery," indicating that JFK II  Co. are now presumed
dead. Based on that, in light of this tragic accident, regardless of whether
it could have been avoided or not, what about reckless behavior?

JFK II was a multimillionare who bought a _used_ single-engine plane and
piloted the plane with so few hours in the air, at night, maybe even knowing
of the haze that many other pilots knew of. Talk about reckless behavior

According to reports, his sister-in-law was late arriving at the New Jersey
airport, and they ended up flying at night. What about waiting till morning?
What about a commercial flight? Instead, he elected to fly that fateful
night. I write "he" b/c he was the pilot, and naturally made the final
decision. [Remember, reports indicate that JFK II claims only 300 hours of
cockpit pilot experience.] Talk about reckless behavior

In addition, according to reports, JFK Jr. may have been wearing a cast. If
so, what business did he have flying the plane with a cast? [On a personal
note, I wore a cast for nearly 12 weeks on my left foot and recall how
limited I was in all my activities. I would not have even dared to fly a
plane. Let alone, with any passengers.] Talk about reckless behavior

Also, witnesses at the Jersey airport report that JFK II did _not_ observe
the proper safety precautions prior to lifting off. Rather than running the
plane up and down the strip, he used the parking area, witnesses say. The
witnesses add that there may have been indications at that time that there
was something wrong with the single-engine plane. Talk about reckless
behavior

Multimillionare buys used single-engine plane. Flying at night, without,
quite possibly, taking into consideration hazardous weather. Too few hours
of piloting for those conditions. Possibly wearing a cast while trying to
operate a plane with two other lives on board, in addition to his own. Still
in question whether precautionary measures were taken prior to lift-off. All
examples of reckless behavior by someone who either had a death wish or used
very poor  foolish/cocky judgement.

Lastly, if anyone has made this into a bigger-than-life story, it's the
media who salivates over these kinds of tragedies. When the media keeps
referring to the "American public sitting and waiting" they exagerrate the
obvious. Folks have there own lives to worry about and have accepted that
the rich take more risks on a daily basis simply because they can afford to.
Many in the media are rich themselves, and socialize with the Kennedys of
this world. If anyone is sitting by the tube and sobbing more than anyone
else, it's the media.

[CTRL] .. illusion of the vote .. our continued bondage.

1999-07-18 Thread Bard

 -Caveat Lector-

THE VOTER'S OATH

The Voter's Oath is a statement of sovereignty. Although stated as a
negative, it means that one's vote or life is inviolate. It exposes the
illusion of the vote in the nation-state where we only vote for our
continued bondage.

The second part of the Voter's Oath, The Declaration of a Freeman, presents
the proper foundation of the sovereign vote, economic freedom. If we are not
voting from our economic freedom, we can never vote for our freedom. Only
from our economic freedom is our vote a vote that actually represents our
individual sovereignty.

To fully comprehend The Voter's Oath, it is first necessary to understand
that today, in the United States of America, we are no longer free.

The vote as we know it no longer is an unalienable right but rather a civil
(governmental) right. How we lost our freedom is both a long and frightening
story. Its root lies in the takeover of the monetary system that occurred
between the years of 1913, with the creation of the Federal Reserve System
and the Internal Revenue System, and 1933 with the bankruptcy of the United
States, the War Powers Act, and the confiscation of gold. In its place was
put a monopolized credit/debt paper money scheme. If you doubt this just
pull a “dollar” bill from your wallet and look at who holds title to it. It
is not we the people.

The United States of America has been the greatest experiment in freedom to
date. Inevitably, its failure lies in its metaphysics which was not
adequately constructed to insure individual liberty. Its collapse into a
nation-state was predictable. By definition, a nation-state is a construct
(structure) that, in locating sovereignty in the government, precludes an
individual's freedom (unalienable rights). Sovereign immunity, executive
order (decree), and (property) forfeiture are all aspects of a nation-state.
By default, all citizens are now nation-state (federal) citizens possessing
“civil rights” as defined by the government rather than unalienable rights*
which define the government.

The Voter's Oath begins our psychic separation from the nation-state.

Many people find this difficult having been led to believe that the vote by
itself is somehow sacrosanct and guarantees our freedom. It is and does when
you are free to begin with. If not, it presents only an illusion of freedom.


Today, when you register to vote, you are actually consigning yourself as a
federal (taxpaying) citizen,
now possessing the “privilege” to vote for your own continued bondage (debt)
in the nation-state.


You see, we cannot vote for our freedom.

We can only vote from our freedom.

The Voter's Oath represents nothing less than a total evolution. It is an
evolution out of the confines of the limited metaphysics of the nation-state
and its debt into the sovereignty, dignity, and freedom of each and every
individual. It is also an evolution of individual conscience. It represents
a strike, if you will. It is simply a statement to those politicians who
claim to represent you. It tells them, “you don't represent me; I represent
myself.” It is one's stand for one's own life and family.

The Voter's Oath is presented so you can sign it and send it to those
politicians (who claim to “represent” you) at the local, state, and national
levels.

I recommend you do this every year just so they don't forget who you are.**

If not, Why?

From: NewsHawk [EMAIL PROTECTED]

© 1999 NewsHawk Inc.
All Rights Reserved

News reports have mentioned that some people saw and heard an explosion
in the air over the ocean south of Martha's Vineyard towards eastern
Long Island, during the period of time John F. Kennedy's plane
apparently "went missing". 

An earlier report from about 3 PM on Saturday by Shephard Smith of
FOX-TV named one of these witnesses--in fact a guest at the scheduled
wedding JFK. Jr. was due to attend AND a friend of Smith's producer at
Fox. 

In later reports Smith no longer named this witness and referred to such
accounts as "unconfirmed", which is how the rest of the media is
referring to them. Don't expect these reports of an explosion over the
ocean to ever be confirmed either, by the Clinton/NWO bunch. No doubt
JFK Jr. was taken out. 

It certainly doesn't sound as though Kennedy's plane had any standard
mechanical problems--as such usually don't result in the plane igniting
into a fireball visible and audible miles away!

We've received word that Kennedy had been in fact nosing around several
lingering conspiracies; having just published an article in George about
the Rabin assassination in Israel and about to put together an article
on the attempted assassination of George Wallace in the U.S., and the
socio-political forces behind the Wallace hit.

There is also an angle here of power struggles between varying families,
bloodlines and factions thereof. Of course JFK Jr.'s bloodline is
well-known. Indications are the Kennedys are in fact related to the
Camerons--a family which has shown up repeatedly in secret society/
brotherhood circles tied to world power elements. 

What is of interest here is the parents of JFK Jr.'s wife. Virtually
nothing is known publicly of her father; she had been raised only by her
mother. This issue could be a significant factor, especially in light of
the obsession the Masons/NWO/Monarchists/Clintonistas have with
bloodlines and such. There has also been some speculation Carolyn was
pregnant. Shades of Princess Diana--another murdered victim of this
bunch of cutthroats!

Furthermore, this tragedy occurred but one day from the 30th anniversary
of the Chappaquidick incident involving Ted Kennedy. There have been
strong indications for many years that incident was set up to neutralize
Ted Kennedy as any kind of force to be reckoned with politically; due to
the disgrace and so forth resulting from the Chappaquidick incident. It
seems Mary Jo Kopechne's life was sacrificed by these murdering swine to
keep Ted in line. 

This aspect regarding the Chappaquidick incident should not be
overlooked in regard to the latest Kennedy tragedy, knowing the
proclivity of the New World Order satanists for enacting evens laden
with symbolism, hidden meanings, subliminal messages, and bizarre,
cultish ritualism.

Messages within messages.

Add to this package the missing weather radar tapes from late Friday
night and early Saturday morning for this region and you have the
overwhelming stench a political assassination rising from the waters.

[CTRL] JFK Jr. Disappearance/More Additions (fwd)

1999-07-18 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

 -Caveat Lector-

More Inconsistencies and Loose Ends re: JFK Jr. Disappearance


© 1999 NewsHawk Inc.
All Rights Reserved

News reports have mentioned that some people saw and heard an
explosion in the air over the ocean south of Martha's Vineyard
towards eastern Long Island, during the period of time John F.
Kennedy's plane apparently "went missing".

An earlier report from about 3 PM on Saturday by Shephard Smith
of FOX-TV named one of these witnesses--in fact a guest at the
scheduled wedding JFK. Jr. was due to attend AND a friend of
Smith's producer at Fox.

In later reports Smith no longer named this witness and referred
to such accounts as "unconfirmed", which is how the rest of the
media is referring to them. Don't expect these reports of an
explosion over the ocean to ever be confirmed either, by the
Clinton/NWO bunch. No doubt JFK Jr. was taken out.

It certainly doesn't sound as though Kennedy's plane had any
standard mechanical problems--as such usually don't result in the
plane igniting into a fireball visible and audible miles away!

We've received word that Kennedy had been in fact nosing around
several lingering conspiracies; having just published an article
in George about the Rabin assassination in Israel and about to
put together an article on the attempted assassination of George
Wallace in the U.S., and the socio-political forces behind the
Wallace hit.

There is also an angle here of power struggles between varying
families, bloodlines and factions thereof. Of course JFK Jr.'s
bloodline is well-known. Indications are the Kennedys are in fact
related to the Camerons--a family which has shown up repeatedly
in secret society/ brotherhood circles tied to world power
elements.

What is of interest here is the parents of JFK Jr.'s wife.
Virtually nothing is known publicly of her father; she had been
raised only by her mother. This issue could be a significant
factor, especially in light of the obsession the
Masons/NWO/Monarchists/Clintonistas have with bloodlines and
such. There has also been some speculation Carolyn was pregnant.
Shades of Princess Diana--another murdered victim of this bunch
of cutthroats!

Furthermore, this tragedy occurred but one day from the 30th
anniversary of the Chappaquidick incident involving Ted Kennedy.
There have been strong indications for many years that incident
was set up to neutralize Ted Kennedy as any kind of force to be
reckoned with politically; due to the disgrace and so forth
resulting from the Chappaquidick incident. It seems Mary Jo
Kopechne's life was sacrificed by these murdering swine to keep
Ted in line.

This aspect regarding the Chappaquidick incident should not be
overlooked in regard to the latest Kennedy tragedy, knowing the
proclivity of the New World Order satanists for enacting evens
laden with symbolism, hidden meanings, subliminal messages, and
bizarre, cultish ritualism.

Messages within messages.

Add to this package the missing weather radar tapes from late
Friday night and early Saturday morning for this region and you
have the overwhelming stench a political assassination rising
from the waters.

  2.  Should the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools?

 Which version?  Jewish, Catholic, Protestant?  Which translation?
 Douay, King James, New Revised Standard, New World, Klingon, all?
 Which religious group(s) should gov't promote? If the Judeo-Xian
 doctrines are to be posted, why not also post passages of Q'uran,
 Gitas/Upanishads, Sutras, Zuni/Hopi/Apache lore, other religious
 texts - or are those religions to be subordinated, suppressed?

 How seriously should the Decalogue [whatever version] be taken?

 "You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness
 of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the water
 under the earth" [Ex.20:4, RSV]  Shall all images, maps, charts,
 be removed from schools, from all public buildings, from all of
 US life?  Are fingerprints, ID photos, portraits, all sinful?
 Must all books containing images be burned?  Or does the "make
 no image" proscription only apply to Judeo/Xians, so they are
 allowed to LOOK at images made by people who AREN'T Judeo/Xians?

 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." [Ex.20:8, RSV]
 When does the sabbath day start and end?  Who decides?  Should
 all public and private institutions shut down on the sabbath -
 power/water/communications sites, hospitals/airports/police,
 theatre/sports, farms/factories/shops, everything?  Are Hindus,
 Buddhists, Pagans, Scientologists, Atheists, Taoists, Muslims,
 bound by this Judeo/Xian rule - is it to be imposed on all in
 the US?  Then why not impose ALL Judeo/Xian rules on everybody
 in the US - the next step is forced conversions, eh?

 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house.. wife... manservant...
 maidservant... ox... ass, or anything that is your neighbor's.
 [Ex.20:17, RSV]  Is thought a crime?  Is 'coveting' a sin equal
 to 'taking'?  Is 'intent' the same as 'commission'?  If so, then
 isn't 'intending' to do something the same as having actually
 DONE it?  Then, isn't just THINKING about engaging in rebellion
 the same as having ACTIVELY engaged in rebellion - treason by
 thought?  Then can't the theocracy execute you for your thoughts?

 I repeat - a conspiracy exists, a conspiracy to centralize power
 and control in the hands of theocrats, of American Ayatollahs; a
 wily conspiracy that employs many tools, many strategies, one of
 which is to propound the notion that a set of rules selected by
 the American Ayatollahs should be binding on everyone within the
 grasp of their power, that their religious doctrines should be
 imposed on EVERYONE, regardless of individual beliefs.  Classic
 tools of disinformation, agit-prop, mind-control are employed.

[CTRL] The NEW CyberWORLD ORDER

1999-07-18 Thread Lloyd Miller

 -Caveat Lector-

The NEW CyberWORLD ORDER
by Madison Payne
Those familiar with the cause and effect view of history know that things
are not always what they seem. Behind every political debate, there is often
the undercurrent of the real fight.

   Just recently, for example, Tom Selleck was attacked on the Rosie
O'Donnell show because he had appeared in a National Rifle Association
billboard advertisement. At one point during his interrogation, he said,
"You don't really believe that the Constitution included the 'right to bear
arms' for hunting purposes, do you?"

   Sadly, most of America had no idea what he was talking about.

   Today, I am writing for those who know exactly what he was talking about.
For while we fight to preserve the U.S. Constitution, and while we fight the
enemies opposed to this purpose, a much more insidious process is underway.

   Over the last decade or so, a new, worldwide frontier has emerged. It
started out as an obscure, defense-department-funded communication
network -- now it has evolved into a global village known as the Internet.

   For those who do not know, the "Internet" is exactly that. It is a
network of private computers and private networks of computers that are
simply inter-networked together.

   Recently, the Internet has exploded, with over 92 million people sharing
this wonderful resource. But as this growth continues, the Internet has
started to impinge upon the real world. In fact, some estimates attribute
over 30% of the growth in GDP directly to the Internet.

   As this growth has escalated, and as business has started to flourish on
the Net, conflicts have started to occur. Conflicts over content, conflicts
over use, conflicts over privacy, and conflicts over intellectual property.

   So how do we resolve these conflicts?

   Who is in charge of the Internet?

   When the Net started, it was obviously a U.S. creation. But as the Net
assumed a global user base, the foreign users of the Net had no obligation
to adhere to U.S. decisions. Likewise, U.S. users had no obligation to
adhere to foreign decisions. Total freedom, and to some degree anarchy, was
the result.

   In an attempt to fill this power vacuum, a small group of people started
a process to assume authority over the chaos. The first attempt was known as
the gTLD-MoU. It was drafted by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA), the Internet Society (ISOC), the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO), and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

   Unfortunately, the plan they developed could have been written by Marx
himself. It featured a small policy board, with unlimited powers, with no
sunshine provisions, established under Swiss law, to administer the entire
global name space.

[There are three main areas under which control over the Internet can be
achieved -- Domain Names, IP Addresses, and Protocol Parameters. The
gTLD-MoU focused on Domain Names. The White Paper focuses on all three.]

   Fortunately, there was enough opposition to the gTLD-MoU that the U.S.
Government was forced to intervene. First, a multi-departmental group of the
U.S. Government known as the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) started to hold meetings. Then Congress, through the
House Science and Commerce Committees, held hearings. Finally, the Executive
Branch asked Ira Magaziner, President Clinton's "Technology Czar," to jump
into the fight.

   The result of all of these actions was ultimately known as the "White
Paper", Ira Magaziner's consensus document. And while it addressed the most
objectionable features of the gTLD-MoU, it was also written in a vague and
ambiguous style.

   This became obvious as the U.S. Commerce Department, under the direction
of Becky Burr, proceeded to implement the White Paper through a most dubious
process. Instead of interpreting the White Paper as an extension to the U.S.
Constitution, she allowed a very small group of people to position
themselves as the new global government for the Internet. They are known as
ICANN.

   ICANN, from its inception, has been fraught with controversy and claims
of capture. First, the initial incorporators of ICANN used by-laws that were
hotly contested as lacking in process, sunshine, and accountability clauses.
Second, the initial Board members were presented as a fait accompli, without
any justification for their selection or their appointment.

Who exactly comprises this board:

Esther Dyson, Interim Chairman
Chairman of EDventure Holdings

Geraldine Capdeboscq
Executive Vice President for Strategy, Technology and Partnerships, BULL
(France).

George Conrades
Venture Partner with Polaris Venture Partners

Greg Crew
Chairman of the Australian Communications Industry Forum Ltd.

Frank Fitzsimmons
Senior Vice President, Global Marketing for Dun  Bradstreet

 Retired prelate is accused over Vatican exposé

 By Bruce Johnston in Rome

 A BOOK which claims to expose corruption, blind ambition,
 cronyism and sexual shenanigans in the Vatican has enraged
 Church authorities, who accuse an elderly prelate of its
 authorship.

 The Roman Rota or ecclesiastical tribunal, acting on a report
 by someone claiming to be an injured party, alleges that Mgr
 Luigi Marinelli wrote Via Col Vento in Vaticano (Gone with
 the Wind in the Vatican), and has ordered him to appear for
 questioning with a lawyer. The prelate, who retired last year
 from the Congregation for Eastern Churches, has also been
 told to withdraw the book from circulation, and to halt any
 translations.

 The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,
 formerly the Inquisition, is also said to have opened a case
 against Mgr Marinelli over the alleged violation of Vatican
 secrets.

 The name of the author appearing on copies of the book
 published by Kaos Edizioni of Milan is "I Millenari", meaning
 the Millenarians. But the Rota says that Millenari is also an
 anagram of "Marinelli". Mgr Marinelli, while not denying
 involvement, has replied that the book was clearly
 co-authored, and claims that he is a scapegoat.

 The book, which names many of those it accuses, also again
 questions whether the death of Pope John Paul I was natural,
 and discloses the back-stabbing that went on in the fight for
 one of the Vatican's highest posts.

 It talks of cartels of power in the Vatican and of one
 monsignor regularly locking himself in his Vatican office at
 night with handsome young men "to do urgent work", and of a
 prelate being caught at the Swiss border with suitcases
 stuffed with dollars.

 One "elderly priest" showered so many presents on influential
 people in Rome that he became known as "Father Christmas"
 until one of his beneficiaries had him made a bishop, at the
 age of 72. He then "squandered millions", and various items
 of diocesan property mortgaged by him, including the bishop's
 palace and cathedral, were sold.

 "When he died, it was discovered that he had passed them to
 his natural son, who had never stopped blackmailing him," the
 book says.

 Corruption 'rife in Vatican'

 By Bruce Johnston in Rome

 AN Italian prelate who co-authored a book about alleged
 widespread sex, power and cronyism inside the Vatican said
 yesterday that Satan had "entered the Church".

 Luigi Marinelli said he would not be attending a hearing
 tomorrow to answer for the book, Gone With the Wind in the
 Vatican, as ordered by the Sacred Roman Rota, the Holy See's
 highest appeals court. He told Italian state television news:
 "I won't be attending because I don't want to blow the matter
 up any further."

 In another interview, he said the move against him was absurd
 and "mistaken in method and merit". It ignored his rights
 under Canon Law to discuss the matter first with his
 superiors. The book accuses the Vatican of careerism,
 Freemasonry, sex and corruption. It has sold 100,000 copies
 since its publication in Italy in February. The Vatican's
 reaction has merely fuelled demand.

 The Vatican has taken steps to stop the pro-homosexual
 campaigning of a priest and a nun in America. Robert Nungent
 and Jeannine Gramaick have been told that they are to be
 punished by the Sacred Congregation of the Faith for their
 "ambiguous opinions".

Human Freedom

By J. Kenneth Grider



When James Arminius, John Wesley, and H. Orton Wiley emphasized their
non-Pelagian
http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/people_n2/persons3_n2/pelagius.html

view of human freedom, they understood that they were teaching what was
customarily taught by the Greek and Latin fathers.

Human Freedom Before Arminius. Much evidence justifies this understanding
that the pre-Augustinians were freedomists.

There were exceptions to this "Arminianism" in the earliest centuries. The
greatest theologian before Augustine,
[  the first saint to find a home page on the Internet
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/augustine/intro.html  ]

Origen, must be thought of as an exception of a sort. Origen seemed to
emphasize human freedom, but he did not believe in it as Arminius and Wesley
later taught it. He believed that we are so free that we can choose our road
back to God and the length of time it will take to get back to God, but that
we are not free to choose never to be redeemed.

Yet most pre-Augustinian fathers were freedomists of some sort. They did not
give apologies for such a view, since it was not a controverted issue.
Tertullian, Cyprian, Chrysostom, and others pretty much assume human
freedom. Arnobius, the only annihilationist of the pre-Augustinian period,
certainly suggests it. The annihilation of the wicked, after they are
resurrected and punished for their sins, will be justly deserved because of
their free decision to rebel against God.

Human freedom was not an issue to Irenaeus and Athanasius; they seem to
assume it. Pelagius, Coelestius, and others denied original sin resulting
from Adam's fall, and the need of prevenient grace, so the human freedom
they asserted was of a humanistic type.

The Second Council of Orange (A.D. 529) made an official decision for the
Catholic church of the ensuing centuries.

It taught that we lost our freedom through the Fall, but that it is restored
to us when we are baptized.

Closer to the time of Arminius, the erudite Erasmus was a freedomist and
wrote supporting free will only to be opposed by Martin Luther in The
Bondage of the Will. Erasmus, though, was a humanist and not the kind of
freedomist that the later Arminius was. Melanchthon, closely associated with
Luther, might have gravitated toward human freedom and conditional
predestination in his last years (Caspar Brandt, The Life of James Arminius,
London: Ward, 1858, 30ff); but if so, his views would not have closely
resembled those of Arminius.

Anabaptists, some of whom later became known as Mennonites, taught the
universal provision for redemption in Christ's atonement and that we humans
cast the deciding vote on whether we will be damned or redeemed.

At Zurich, also just before Arminius's time, Bullinger questioned at least
for a time the denial of human freedom implied in Calvin's unconditional
predestination teaching. Jerome Bolsec and Charles Perrot, of Geneva, both
opposed Calvin's view and were freedomists of sorts.

After Holland became Protestant, and a few decades before the Synod of Dort
(161849), most ministers tended to be freedomists. At the newly founded
university at Leiden in Holland, most of the teachers were "Arminian" during
the six years Arminius studied there (1575-81).

In England, William Barrett was denied his B.D. degree at Cambridge in 1595
because he rejected the freedom-opposed views of Cambridge's distinguished
supralapsarian, Williams Perkins. About this same time Peter Baro was
deposed from his position at Cambridge for his "Arminian" views (See Carl
Bangs, "Arminus and the Reformation," Church History, June 1961, p. 7). John
Playfere, Baro's successor, lectured and published on free will without
special trouble, because by then it was becoming increasingly acceptable in
England. The Thirty-nine Articles of 1563 (and 1571) of the Church of
England took no position on the matter of human freedom-allowing, in the
future, either Calvinism or Arminianism among its adherents (See Schaff,
Creeds of Christendom, 3:486-512).

Arminius's View of Human Freedom.
 http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/lewisaa/articles/arminius.html  ]
James Arminius taught and even emphasized human freedom in various treatises
written during his 15-year pastorate at Amsterdam (1588-1603) and in his
writings during his tenure as a professor at the University of Leiden
(1603-9). He was a pastor and professor of the Reformed

  WHICH WITCH IS WHICH? THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT...

"On October 21, 1994, Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael
Williams hiked into the Black Hills Forest to shoot a documentary film
on a local legend called 'The Blair Witch,' and were never seen again.
One year later, their footage was found."

So reads the introduction to what promises to be one of the most
controversial films of the summer season, "The Blair Witch Project."
Already the subject an official web site -- and dozens more seem to be
appearing every day -- and a torrent of news articles, the film
managed to creep into last year's Sundance Film Festival where it
reportedly left audiences shaken and "ashen faced."  Written and
produced by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez who spend a paltry
$23,000 on the 87-minute film, "The Blair Witch Project" was
immediately grabbed by a distributor for $1.2 million.

Since then, there seems to be no end in sight to the speculation and
questions raised about the film.  "Is the scare of the summer real?"
asked a headline in Entertainment Weekly online.  The reviews in USA
TODAY and elsewhere were obtuse, and we are informed that "Blair
itself pretends to be not a movie but a true account pieced together
from raw footage left behind after the threesome vanished..."  Odeon
Films.Com suggests that this screen work is one "Brilliantly blurring
the lines between fact and fiction," that along with its "sheer
cinematic ingenuity, urgency and invention," The Blair Witch Project
"is the firsthand account of three student filmmakers who venture into
Maryland's remote Black Forest to discover the truth about the mythic
Blair Witch."

The Project web site, which has received over 11 million visits since
going on line, perpetuates this fiction -- or could it really be fact?
-- by including film clips, a historical timeline, photos, biographies
and other material.  None of this serves to answer the skeptic's
question, though, "Is any of this real?"  Nor did the Sci-Fi Channel
provide any definitive answers last Monday night, when it aired "Curse
of the Blair Witch," produced in conjunction with the film's
distributor and owner, Artisan Entertainment.

First, there is the story line, which begins with one Elly Kedward who
immigrated to America and settled in the town of Blair -- now the site
of the very real community of Burkittsville, Maryland.  Both the
Project and Curse says that she is the basis of the Blair Witch,
having been accused of witchcraft and tied to a tree and left to die
during the deep of winter.  The following year, children and other
accusers mysteriously disappear, thus setting in motion a cycle of
mysterious events and calamities that occur every fifty or sixty
years.  Blair is abandoned, but later reestablished when the railroad
comes through the area.  What follows is a cadence of mysterious
drowning, abducted children, and the psychopathic murders of seven
youngsters carried out by Rustin Parr.  Police find the bodies
disemboweled, and Parr insists that he was compelled to carry out the
heinous crimes by "an old woman ghost" haunting the nearby woods.  And
there is even a rare book, "The Blair Witch Cult," detailing the
exquisite horrors around Burkittsville, including Coffin Rock, where
in the 1880s the naked and eviscerated bodies of a search team looking
for missing children were discovered.

On October 21, 1994, the Blair Witch mystery cycle again hits a
periodic peak as the three students, intent on shooting their own
documentary about the legend, hike into the woods never to be seen
again.  The following year, the footage is discovered in a strange
entombment; the containers of film seem have materialized inside of

U.S. troops on the Golan?
A debate resumes


Opponents of plan split over whether to renew their campaign








By Michael Shapiro
Washington Jewish Week

http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- DURING THE LAST ROUND of intensive
negotiations between Israel and Syria, a heated debate erupted in Washington
over whether U.S. troops should be stationed on the Golan Heights to monitor
a peace deal between the two longtime foes.

Hard-line American and Israeli critics of the peace process, who opposed the
use of American troops to monitor a deal, pressed the issue. Back in 1994,
they took out newspaper ads showing the body of a U.S. soldier who was
killed while serving in Somalia and lobbied unsuccessfully to have Congress
impose restrictions on the use of American soldiers before any agreement —
including what role the United States and its soldiers would play — could be
reached.

At the time, top U.S. officials said they were prepared to send troops as
part of a monitoring force if both Israel and Syria requested such a move.
Strong supporters of the peace process saw these lobbying efforts as trying
to scuttle the negotiations.

 While a number of observers and participants in that debate said discussing
the issue of U.S. troops in the context of an Israeli-Syrian deal on the
Golan Heights is premature, there are signs the issue is once again emerging
as both Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak — who is holding a bevy of
meetings here this week — and Syrian President Hafez al-Assad have said they
are eager to restart negotiations.

Frank Gaffney, the head of the Center for Security Policy, a conservative
think tank in Washington that has a number of Jewish financial backers, is
one of those involved in the earlier debate who is calling for the issue to
be discussed now. Gaffney, deputy assistant secretary of defense during the
Reagan administration, has been a vocal opponent of stationing U.S. troops
on the Golan Heights, arguing that American soldiers would be targets of
terrorism and that the likelihood of the United States being drawn into a
Middle East war would increase.

“These facts demand that the question of deploying U.S. forces on the Golan
Heights be subjected to rigorous debate now, before such a deployment
becomes an integral part of any Israel-Syria deal,” the center said in a
July 6 press release. “Otherwise, Congress is likely to be presented with
another Clinton fait accompli, whereby any action to prevent an ill
advised-commitment of American troops is portrayed as a mortal threat to the
‘peace process’ and, therefore, politically untenable.”

Another key participant in the 1994 campaign also is making some noise. In
recent missives to fax machines in Washington, Yoram Ettinger, who was head
of congressional liaison at the Israeli Embassy during the Likud-led
government of Yitzhak Shamir and later lobbied members of Congress opposing
U.S. troops on the Golan Heights, argues that Syria cannot be trusted and is
reminding people here that Syrian-sponsored terrorists blew up the U.S.
Marine headquarters in Beirut in 1983, killing more than 250 Americans.

 “Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights would not moderate the Mideast
nor would it advance U.S. national security interests,” Ettinger wrote,
stressing that the disappearance of an Israeli military presence close to
Damascus will allow Syria to flex its military muscle and expand its support
of terrorism. In addition to his faxes, Ettinger has met with staffers on
Capitol Hill to discuss the Syrian threat, according to Hill sources.
Reached in Israel on his cell phone, Ettinger acknowledged he was in
Washington “a month ago” but said he was here working on other issues.

While he would not say if he would be involved in a lobbying campaign
similar to last time, Ettinger said: “If I will be asked my opinion, I will
gladly share it.”

Some members of the organized Jewish community who are active on the Hill
and hold similar views to that of Gaffney and Ettinger predict another round
of debate over whether U.S. troops should be stationed on the Golan Heights.
If the “same issues are brought to the table, the same debate will ensue,”
said Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America.

However, others who actively opposed stationing troops on the Golan while
the Labor-led government of Yitzhak Rabin negotiated with the Syrians are
not as eager to raise the issue at this time.

As Tom Neumann, executive director of the Jewish Institute for National
Security Affairs, pointed out, his reticence to raise the issue now is a
twist on the debate from last time around when more dovish forces, including
Israeli Ambassador Itamar Rabinovich, argued that raising the specter of
U.S. troops on the Golan before such an agreement was reached was premature.

But now, Neumann does not want to raise the issue because he does not see an
agreement between Israel and Syria happening

[CTRL] A Cautionary Tale (pt.1)

1999-07-18 Thread nessie

 -Caveat Lector-

What follows this brief introduction is a word for word transcript of an
actual conversation between a couple of real life working class people.
Like most real life conversations by working class people it is punctuated
with periodic profanities. If this bothers you, stop reading now. Better
still, get over it, read on and learn a little something about how the
government treats the people who do its dirty work. Not surprisingly, it's
a cautionary tale.

Two guys got drunk with a tape recorder one day. One guy was a war hero
with a secret that came back to haunt him years later when he thought he'd
stumbled on the Unabomber and, like a good citizen is supposed to do, he
called the FBI.

The other guy was me. Think of me as a sort of unlicensed private
detective. I was part of a team working on a case. It wasn't him. He was a
sidetrack. What we were really trying to do was find the Unabomber before
the Feds did. Our motives varied. The interview would have sparked a tasty
bidding war. I personally wanted to kick his butt, up down and sideways
and then turn him in to the cops. As much as I agree with his cogent
critique of leftism and with some aspects of his critique of industrial
society, I can't abide anybody murdering workers, especially at random,
especially science workers. The first time I ever heard of the Unabomber
was in the text of a bulletin issued to my partner at the time, a science
worker, and her work mates. It warned against opening any packages that
came in the mail until they had been cleared by security. The way I
figure, politics aside, any guy who would blow up Dr. Sue needs his butt
kicked bad. I aimed to do it, for moral reasons of course, and not just
because  any mammal will try to protect its mate. And then of course there
was that incipient bidding war.

We fanned out and started beating the bushes. We turned up some very
interesting folks, but alas, not the Unabomber. He proved to be a wild
goose. Any fool can hunt deer. They're not hard to find and they never
shoot back. The wild goose, on the other hand, is never a bore. Best of
all, you needn't actually bag one to feel the thrill of the hunt. Even
spoor, even questionable spoor, is enough to get the blood up. The not
uncommon sidetrack often also holds much promise. Not a few times the
better stories are found far from the primary trail. What follows is a
conversation I had while I was sidetracked. I'm showing it to you word for
word because I credit you with having enough intelligence to not need my
interpretation and because I like to let my subjects speak for themselves.
I've taken the liberty, though, of redacting a couple names in the
interest of protecting my sources. One of these days I'm going to edit it
down a bit and publish it along with some other interviews with other
victims of government's limitless perfidy.

I met this guy by way of my late bro Clance, with whom he was inclined on
occasion to abuse the world's most popular poison.  I've never seen him as
drunk as I've heard he get sometimes, but I do believe the accounts.
Though he has never been known as a teetotaler, his current excesses are a
recent development. Or at least so it's said. I dunno. I wasn't there. I'm
passing on hearsay here. He was definitely sober when I first met him, and
soberly cautious at first. He doesn't want his real name used. These days,
who can blame him? One name's as good as another; let's call him "Fred."
He wanted to know who else I knew and what were my motivations for wanting
to add his story to my already well stocked collection. I'm almost always
willing to explain myself. My motives need no hiding. The meeting had been
set up by Clance's ex-in-law, who Fred trusts. Let's call him "Brian."
Fred works for Brian part time.  Brian and I used to be housemates and
workmates. For a while we played in a band together. Fred lives down the
hall from my ex. So I came into Fred's life fairly well vouched for. This
maybe why he was willing to talk to me frankly about this private matter.
It's not that he doesn't want the story to get out. If it would somehow
help makes things so this kind of stuff wouldn't happen any more, he's all
 for it. But in the meantime he's an anonymous source and I intend to
protect him.

Fred came with a mix of vouchers and disclaimers from the odd dozen or so
people we know in common. I had asked around of course whether or not he
was on the up and up. My friends seem on the whole to be more inclined to
believe Fred when he's talking about the past than when he's talking about
the future. This is a common side effect of alcohol. He contradicts
himself no more often than anybody else on the sauce. He doesn't drink on
the job. Ever. I've been told that you can trust him with your wife, your
kids and your money. You probably don't want him driving your car, at
least not when he's loaded. His story is consistent from telling to
telling. It's apparently not one he tells to most people, and

Fred: OK, I work maybe half a day, and I suddenly start realizing that
something's still wrong with my arm. I couldn't do the work; I mean . . .
and this is a company that refuses to give light duty. You either do the
job or you don't. And I go in and I try to do the work and I suddenly
start realizing I have no strength in my right arm. And there are certain
repetitive motions that I have to do, like wrenching. Like if you handle
the wrench on the chuck of a lathe or something like that. And I suddenly
start realizing that every now and then I'd made this certain move it'd be
like a nerve thing, you know, like when you get that crick in your neck,
and you get that little hot thing (imitates the sound of a kid's friction
motor driven toy car) right up into your head and you go, (imitates the
sound of bare thighs settling into a vinyl covered bucket seat that's been
out in the parking lot all afternoon) and you twist your head just right .
. . I don't know what it's called but it's a nerve thing.

So I told the boss, I said, "Boss, I'm having some problems here. I think
I'd best go see the doctor."

He goes, "All right. You're excused. Go see the doctor. Gimme a call as
soon as you talk to him."

So I make a phone call, call the doctor. The doctor says come in right
away.

nessie: This was in the new place that you were moving them into?

Fred: Yeah. We had already moved them; the move was complete..

nessie: How many guys worked there?

Fred: Now?

nessie: Then.

Fred: Four. There were four people who were actually machinists. There
were a total of eight people working, two engineers . . .

nessie: . . . and so forth?

Fred: Yeah.

nessie: Four machinists, two engineers, a boss and a secretary.

Fred: His wife.

nessie: His wife and the kid? No? His father?

Fred: His father would come in and out. He didn't really do work. In fact
he was a dangerous guy to work with. He would make all kinds of mistakes.
I couple times I've seen him do kinds of stuff that almost got people
killed. It was at the point of . . . he needs to retire.

Anyway, the doc says, uh, he's doing these little tests and he's pinching
me and he's prodding me and he's doing these things and he goes, "Wow,
this is what I worried about."

And I go, "What!?! What!?! What!?!"

'Cuz, you know, and he says, "Well it looks like you might have some kind
of nerve damage."

He goes, "I want you to take another month off, and in that time I want
you to do some physical therapy."

And he finds me a place to do physical therapy and I do everything I'm
told.

nessie: Did you apply for disability or anything?

Fred: Yeah, workman's Comp.

nessie: You applied?

Fred: I was granted it. Instantaneously. The doctor signed papers, no
problem. That wasn't much money to get by on. I mean I went from six
hundred dollars a week take home, or more, every week, to two hundred and
. . . what was it? Two hundred and sixty a week. I had to suddenly, like,
start watching money. I mean, I'm a single guy. I'm one of those guys that
like to go to clubs. I like to, you know, go to concerts, things like
that. I'm not one of those people that, like, you know . . . I believe in
living. The war taught me that.

So anyway, uh, while I'm off, the second attack from the Unabomber
occurred, the one in Sacramento.

nessie: This is after you went back and found you couldn't do it?

Fred: During that time . . . this thing . . . anyway . . . I really can't
figure out the actual dates. I can't give you the exact dates.

nessie: Don't sweat the dates; just give me the order.

Fred: This guy attacks again. And this time he mails the FBI this
manifesto, and an excerpt of this was printed in the paper. I get really
scared by it. It sounds like what this guy was talking to me about.

Anyway, a month passes. I'm feeling better. Physical therapy is helping. A
few other little sores that popped up disappeared. I'm feeling OK; I go
see the doctor, the doctor gives me a release says I can go back to work
Monday. I show up on Monday. The boss . . . everyone . . . starts acting
weird towards me.

I'm going, "What's going on?"

He goes, "Man, I don't know. You'll see when the boss gets here."

'Cuz he wasn't there. I go over to my tool box and the tool box has been
rifled. I don't know anything about it. But I don't figure out why.

nessie: But you noticed, right? Say anything to the other guys?

Fred: No. I didn't say anything at that point in time because I wasn't
really sure how I left it. I mean I left over there, I was in pain. I was,
like, not thinking right.

nessie: Right.

Fred: The boss comes out and he hands me a check and he says, "You've been
off too much. Basically, we're gonna have to let you go.'

I says, "I don't think you can do that.'

And he goes, "I'm not only doing it, it's done. Here's your check. I want
you to leave the building NOW."

He demands it. He grabs me by the arm and I say, "Wait a damn minute!"

Will America
defend Taiwan?
By John Doggett



When NATO ended its war against Yugoslavia, Bill Clinton said that NATO
reserved the right to go anywhere in Europe or Africa to defend democratic
or humanitarian interests. Well, Bill might get his wish much sooner than he
thought. Because of comments that Taiwan's President made last weekend,
America's military might have to go toe-to-toe with the People's Liberation
Army of Communist China.
It is election time in Taiwan. During an interview with a German radio
station, President Lee Teng-hui said that "We have redefined cross-strait
ties as nation to nation, or at least as special nation to nation." This is
not the first time that Lee has pushed the envelope.

During the 1996 elections, the Communists threatened to nuke Los Angeles if
the U.S. intervened in Taiwan. In fact, China mobilized troops and fired
nuclear capable missiles across Taiwan in an attempt to influence democratic
elections for president in Taiwan. The United States, in response, sent two
aircraft carrier battle groups to the Straits of Taiwan in the strongest
show of American naval power in that region since the Vietnam War. Now, four
years later, after China has shown its disregard for human rights, religious
freedom in Mainland China and democracy in Hong Kong, the Taiwanese threat
is much more serious.

President Lee's comments could not have come at a worst time for the Clinton
administration. The Chinese Communists likely see President Lee's act as
another example of America's expanding political and military power.
Administration representatives are scheduled to meet with the Communists to
talk about reparations for NATO's "mistaken" bombing of their Belgrade
embassy. They also have to get the Communists to agree to compensate us for
damage that Chinese citizens did to America's Beijing embassy.

Beijing's official position has been that they cannot allow Taiwan to
achieve full independence. The Communists have repeatedly said that they
would use force, if necessary, to prevent Taiwan from becoming fully
independent. That is where it gets interesting for Clinton and America.
Because according to the Taiwan Relations Act, the United States is, by law,
committed to defend the island against attack by China or any other
aggressor.

The Clinton Administration is trying to downplay the seriousness of this
issue. However, ever since NATO attacked Yugoslavia over Kosovo,
expectations have risen about America's willingness to use its military
might to enforce a new "Manifest Destiny" around the world.

Clinton's words about the long reach of NATO's power may have been bravado,
but they are already coming back to haunt the rest of America. China is on a
decade long march to turn its military into a high-tech first world power.
They have invested billions in new technology -- legally and illegally
obtained -- and have set the end of the next decade for full military parity
with the United States. The People's Liberation Army will lose much of its
clout and political muscle if it is unable to prevent Taiwan from pulling
away due to America's military might.

As you read this column, the BBC reports that "Taiwanese defense forces have
heightened combat alertness on the frontline Kinmen island in case of
possible invasion by China." NATO's decision to attack Yugoslavia over
Kosovo has opened up a Pandora's box that we will ask our military people to
close. In Yugoslavia, NATO's attacks represented a broad stretch of its
treaty to protect Western European democracies. In Taiwan, no stretch is
necessary. We are bound, by treaty, to protect Taiwan. Full stop.

Given the Clinton administration's close ties to the Communist Chinese, will
they be as willing to defend Taiwan as they were willing to attack Serbia?
Once again, America's credibility depends upon whether we can trust Bill
Clinton to say what he means and mean what he says. What Clinton does about
Taiwan will determine the future value of all of America's treaties.

[CTRL] House Passes Religious Rights Bill

House Passes Religious Rights Bill
Legislation Curbing Government's Right to Interfere Prevails 306-118
By Michael Grunwald and Hanna Rosin
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, July 16, 1999; Page A01

The House yesterday overwhelmingly passed a bill designed to protect
religious practices from government interference, affirming the right to
exercise faith even in cases where it might conflict with state or local
laws.

Spurred by gripping tales of prisoners barred from receiving communion,
students disciplined for wearing yarmulkes in school and houses of worship
frozen out of residential neighborhoods by zoning laws, the
Republican-controlled House passed the Religious Liberty Protection Act by a
306 to 118 margin. The bill is a slightly narrower version of a law the
Supreme Court deemed unconstitutional in 1997.

Several civil rights groups opposed the bill, warning it could be used to
undermine other anti-discrimination laws, but the Senate is likely to pass
some version of the legislation as well, and the Clinton administration
signaled its "strong support" in a statement.

Supporters of the bill -- including a broad coalition of religious groups
ranging from the National Sikh Center to the Peyote Way Church of God to the
Campus Crusade for Christ -- called it a much-needed correction to
government infringements on religious freedom. The vote was a particularly
sweet victory for Christian conservatives, a landmark in their 10-year
struggle to convince Americans that they are an embattled minority in need
of additional legal protection.

But Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), a coauthor of the bill, withdrew his
support after failing to pass an amendment ensuring that existing civil
rights laws would not be affected. Nadler expressed concern that the bill
could empower landlords, for example, to use their religious beliefs to
refuse to rent to homosexuals, single mothers or unmarried couples. The
bill's supporters said that was not the intention, but opposed Nadler's
amendment anyway, saying it would have created an impression that religious
rights are second-class rights.

"This bill is supposed to be a shield to protect rights, but some people
want to use it as a sword to attack rights," Nadler said. "Religious liberty
is very dear to my heart, but I can't support this bill anymore."

In the end, though, the bill was propelled by a fierce lobbying effort led
by conservative Christian groups such as the Family Research Council and the
Christian Coalition, with help from a wide array of apolitical religious
organizations and even some liberal groups such as People for the American
Way and Americans for Democratic Action.

The bill would make it much harder for state and local officials to take
actions that inconvenience people of faith, requiring them to demonstrate
that the actions serve a "compelling" public interest and that they have no
less restrictive means to achieve it. To its supporters, this legislation is
a fix desperately needed to uphold the original vision of the nation's
founders, many of whom came to America to escape religious intolerance.

"This is a great day for religious liberty in America," said Rep. Charles T.
Canady (R-Fla.), the bill's chief sponsor. "In recent years, we've seen less
and less protection for the free exercise of religion. In this country,
beliefs have been trampled on every day."

The bill's supporters dramatized their arguments with a long list of horror
stories describing government intrusions on religious expression: Muslim
firefighters forced to shave beards, Hmong corpses submitted for autopsies
even though their relatives believed it would condemn their spirits, Roman
Catholic priests prohibited from serving communion wine to minors.

Most of all, they complained about zoning disputes, which they claim are
often used to keep religious institutions out of residential neighborhoods.
In Cheltanham Township, Pa., officials rejected a synagogue's construction
plans because of insufficient space for parking, even though Orthodox Jews
do not drive on the Sabbath. The synagogue then offered to build a parking
lot anyway, but officials turned them down again, saying it would create
traffic jams.

Such conflicts date to 1990, when the Supreme Court ruled that the
Constitution's "free exercise" clause does not preclude laws that burden
religious practices -- as long as they serve a "rational" public interest,
and are not designed specifically to squelch religion. The "compelling"
interest requirement in the current bill would set a much higher legal
standard.

President Clinton signed a similar bill into law in 1993, but the Supreme
Court ultimately ruled that Congress had exceeded its constitutional
authority in passing it. The authors of the current bill limited its scope
to interstate commerce, federally funded programs and blatantly
discriminatory land use regulations in an effort to pass constitutional
muster.

Japan's executive suicides rise by a third

FROM ROBERT WHYMANT
IN TOKYO

JAPAN'S suicide rate is soaring in a grim reflection of the country's
economic woes. Last year suicides totalled 32,863, an increase of 35 per
cent on 1997, according to police figures. It was the first time they had
topped 30,000.
Particularly striking was the sharp increase in the number of suicides by
men in their forties and fifties, the age groups hardest hit by the current
wave of "restructuring". The figures show that 713 corporate managers killed
themselves, a 38 per cent increase on the previous year. Suicides linked to
economic problems surged by 70 per cent to 6,058.

The Japanese, convinced the country is going to the dogs, are flocking to
the "failures and crisis" sections of bookshops to snap up gloom and doom
books that indulge their darkest fears. Works such as Japan's Failures,
Japan's Crisis and The Essence of Our Country's Failure attempt to explain
why Japan is in the throes of the severest economic recession since the
Second World War.

The recent spectacle of Nissan, once a symbol of Japan's unbeatable
industrial might, going cap in hand to Renault for financial help was the
last straw for the depressed national psyche. Many Japanese people saw it as
a humiliation that confirmed the nation is falling into ruin.

Others see the soul-searching as a positive sign that the Japanese are eager
to identify past mistakes and to learn from them. "People are humble enough
to admit they've failed and now they want to know how they can improve
themselves," said the political commentator Hideaki Kase. "And don't forget,
self-flagellation is a very Japanese pastime."
