[CTRL] Why some of us fear Clinton?
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_nyquist/19990722_xcjny_why_some_u.shtml Why some of us fear Clinton? By JR Nyquist © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com The Bible teaches us to love our enemies and to hate no one. This is a very noble way to live, though few of us attain such grace. Perhaps the reason so few of us can love our enemies has to do with the link between hate and fear. If someone makes us afraid, we eventually come to hate that person. And, however brave some of us are, fear sometimes gets the better of us. It has sometimes been remarked that the so-called "far right" is irrational in its hatred of Bill Clinton. Many liberal media types think the impeachment of President Clinton was a mean-spirited, hate-inspired attack on a poor sick guy who suffers from a sexual addiction. Some leftists are especially baffled, because they don't see anything special about Clinton that is particularly threatening or dangerous. Well, it is time someone explained the right's fear of Bill Clinton. For if any of us hate Bill Clinton -- and certainly we shouldn't hate anyone, as the Bible says -- it is fear, at bottom, that inspires us. This is not a proud acknowledgement, but an honest one. Some of us really do fear Clinton. We experience his term in office as a dangerous time, as a time in which American institutions are exposed to corruption and degradation. It is a time when freedom is imperiled at home and national security is weakened abroad. I can hear my friends on the left chuckling at all this. Such nonsense, they say to themselves. Such right wing paranoia. But wait. Stop. Let me explain, by way of comparison, where the so-called "extreme right" is coming from. What if you were Jewish. Imagine how you would feel if America elected a president who, as a college student, had worked for a Nazi front organization, then made a trip to Hitler's Berlin (about which he is not very forthcoming). Imagine, also, that he married someone with ties to numerous anti-Semitic organizations, someone who idolizes Mussolini and Franco. How would you feel? I first heard of Bill Clinton 16 years ago. Here is how it happened. I was getting a teaching credential, and one of my classes was on adolescent psychology. The professor in this course, who was a very admirable teacher, seemed to favor me. One day, after class, she invited me to a 7 p.m. meeting at the Science Lecture Hall. At the time I didn't know she was a Marxist, and I didn't know the meeting would be political. She said that if I cared about education in the state of California I would attend. Having the night off from work I decided on going, partly owing to curiosity. Well, I couldn't have been more surprised if it had been a coven of witches. Arriving early at the Science Lecture Hall, I found communist literature -- books and pamphlets -- stacked on tables in the lobby. A visiting professor was the speaker. He gave a rousing talk on overthrowing the "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie" in America. How would this be accomplished? By taking over the Democratic Party through its left wing. The speaker said it was possible to elect a stealth socialist president, who would effect a peaceful transition to socialism during the next great economic down-turn. Capitalism would be unmasked as a bankrupt system. The people would then support a new socialist system. All businesses would be nationalized by the government and run like the Post Office. This socialist president, said the speaker, could be elected in either 1988 or 1992. The only problem was that of timing. When would the next major economic downturn hit? Some days later I went to visit my professor at her office hours. We talked about the speaker and the book he had written. We talked about Marxism and the idea of changing the system. Then, suddenly, my professor said: "We have such high hopes for this young Arkansas governor, Bill Clinton." That was the first time I heard Bill Clinton's name. But it wasn't the first time I'd heard this idea of taking over the left wing of the Democratic Party and electing a stealth socialist president. I'd first heard that idea in 1981, when I was a senior at the University of California. The left wing activist, Derek Shearer, came to speak on the subject of "economic democracy." Two radical friends of mine dragged me to hear him, though I had my heart set on a game of chess that day. So I went to listen to Shearer's talk, and I sat there in the front row, concentrating on his theory of "economic democracy," thinking to myself: This is just like Marxism. After Shearer finished speaking I went up and asked him, point blank. "Mr. Shearer, what is the difference between Marxism and "economic democracy"? He looked at me a bit suspiciously for a second, then he said, "I probably shouldn't say this, but there is no difference." I had a long discussion with Shearer about why he

-Caveat Lector- Feds: Ecstasy Ring Used Hasidim By TOM HAYS .c The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - Federal agents say they busted an international drug ring that used conservatively dressed Hasidic Jews as couriers for Ecstasy pills. Seven men were indicted this week in a scheme that relied on the Orthodox Jews' demure look - black hats, dark suits and sidecurls - to deflect suspicion at customs checkpoints, agents said. The Jewish couriers were told they were carrying diamonds and promised a free trip to Europe and about $1,500 if they agreed to retrieve packages in Brussels, Frankfurt and other cities. But authorities say the couriers ignored obvious signs that the shipments consisted of 30,000 to 45,000 pills destined for sale in New York City and Miami Beach. One Hasidic defendant, Simcha Roth, 18, was arrested at his parents' home Wednesday and charged with recruiting fellow Hasids as drug couriers in his hometown of Monsey, N.Y., and Brooklyn. He was being held without bail after pleading innocent to drug conspiracy and distribution charges. ``He's an 18-year-old from a good family and is anxious to do the right thing,'' Nick DeFeis, Roth's attorney, said Thursday. Roth's alleged role is a new twist on a burgeoning trade in Ecstasy, a synthetic drug popular in dance clubs. In the past nine months, more than 1 million pills were seized from smugglers at Kennedy Airport. The pills - which combine the effects of hallucinogens and stimulants - typically are made in Amsterdam, Netherlands, for 50 cents to $2 apiece, then sold for $25 to $30, authorities said.

[CTRL] Anti-Pedophile Agency Full of (Guess)
-Caveat Lector- Swiss Group Admits Abuse of Orphans LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) - A Swiss charity that campaigns against the sexual exploitation of children said Thursday it had unwittingly employed two pedophiles at an orphanage in Ethiopia. In 1995 a Canadian teacher was caught sexually abusing children at the Terre des Hommes orphanage in the northern town of Jari, said Helene Sulzer, the group's spokeswoman, confirming a report in the London daily The Guardian. He was fired on the spot. But two years later, a Terre des Hommes worker from Britain, who had caught the first offender, was himself caught abusing orphans. The group brought him back to Switzerland, where he admitted the offense and was fired, Sulzer said. Terre des Hommes did not try to prosecute the British worker, who wasn't identified, because the situation was ``extremely delicate'' and the first priority was to remove him from the children in his care, Sulzer said. She said the case had been passed on to British investigators. The Jari orphanage was founded 25 years ago on property donated by the late Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. Terre des Hommes, a respected organization in Switzerland, works on behalf of vulnerable children in developing countries and has mounted campaigns against pedophilia and child pornography.

[CTRL] N. Korea + China vs. Taiwan
-Caveat Lector- N. Korea Supports Chinese Policy SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea threw its support behind its ally China today in the current flare-up of tensions over Taiwan, accusing the island government of following a separatist policy. North Korea's ruling communist party compared Taiwan with its own bitter rival, South Korea, saying both talk about unification while pursuing a policy that increases the divide. The ``separatist policy'' of Taiwan ``cuts right across the Chinese people's desire for reunification and the reunification principles,'' said Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the ruling Workers' Party. Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui outraged China by saying early this month that Taiwan wants to deal with China on a ``special state-to-state'' basis. China saw the remarks as a move toward a declaration of independence - and war. Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province that must be reunited with the mainland eventually. The sides split amid civil war in 1949, but both say they eventually want reunification. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Trouble on Temple Mount
-Caveat Lector- Muslims Close Al Aqsa Mosque By LAURIE COPANS .c The Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) - Muslim clergymen closed Islam's third holiest shrine Thursday after Jewish extremists called for the expulsion of Muslims from the hill that once held the ancient Jewish Temple, Judaism's most sacred site. Israeli police arrested three members of the outlawed anti-Arab Kach group early Thursday after they distributed leaflets near the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, calling on Jews to ``expel the strangers from the Temple Mount.'' The three were later released. Police issued statements published in Palestinian newspapers Thursday promising that Jewish extremists would not be allowed into the mosque area. Police apparently hoped to prevent possible Palestinian demonstrations. Gates to the compound known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, were shut this afternoon. The mosque area is located on the site of the second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70 Israel is in overall control of Jerusalem, including the holy sites. Under arrangements dating back to Israel's capture of the area in the 1967 Mideast war, the Waqf, the Muslim religious council, administers the mosque area. Jerusalem police commander Yair Yitzhaki expressed displeasure with the Waqf decision to close the compound. The Waqf issued no statement, but the compound was likely to reopen by Friday noon, the most important Muslim prayer session of the week and the time the sanctuary attracts the largest crowds . Some Jewish extremist groups believe the Al Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques should be razed to make way for the rebuilding of the Temple. But most observant Jews believe the structure will be built only with divine intervention. As part of a semiannual tradition, one extremist group, the Temple Mount Faithful, made an attempt Thursday to enter the gates of the compound on the Ninth of Av, the day marking the destruction of the two ancient temples. Police blocked the 30 demonstrators, including a few American Christian evangelists, who chanted mournful prayers and waved Israeli flags. ``I am here to bless Israel and to support it,'' said Miriam Lee of Buena Vista, Ga. ``According to the Scriptures, this mount is Jewish land.'' Some evangelical Christians believe the rebuilding of the Temple will hasten the Second Coming of Christ. Yitzhaki said the police decided not to let the group onto the Temple Mount after the Kach members distributed the leaflets. Jews are allowed to visit the compound and pray, but only silently and in small groups. The Haram as-Sharif hill overlooks the Western Wall, the holiest site to Jews and the last remnant of the Second Temple compound. Dozens were killed in Israeli-Palestinian clashes in the area in 1990 and 1996 as part of disputes over the holy sites. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Your Taxes at Work: $1 Million A Day WASTED by VA
-Caveat Lector- Report: VA Wastes $1 Million a Day By LARRY MARGASAK .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Stuck with old, decrepit hospitals and serving a declining population, the Department of Veterans Affairs is wasting up to $1 million a day on unneeded medical facilities, congressional investigators report. The General Accounting Office report was highly critical of the VA's proposal to fix the system, contending vested interests that might balk at closing facilities would be given too much control. Among these groups, the GAO said in a report obtained Wednesday, are medical schools, unions, veterans' organizations and state veterans agencies. They will be part of local committees that would, under current plans, choose their own leadership rather than allowing the VA to run the process, the investigators reported. For instance, medical schools might be reluctant to change long-standing business relationships with veterans hospitals, and unions could be reluctant to support staffing reductions, said the report, obtained by The Associated Press. The GAO, Congress' investigative agency, suggested using full-time VA planners or consultants with ``no vested interests in the geographic area'' to recommend changes in facilities, in consultation with the other groups. The VA health care system's past experience suggests that the system now contemplated ``could result in a protracted decision-making process that continues the expenditure of scarce resources on unneeded buildings'' - already totaling up to $1 million a day, said the report, by Stephen P. Backhus, the GAO's veterans' health care export. Backhus' report said the interest groups involved in the restructuring ``may have vested interests in maintaining the status quo.'' He added, ``In our view, this arrangement could lead to conflict among the various stakeholders sitting on the committees if they attempt to protect their interests at the expense of the overall process.'' Veterans Affairs spokeswoman Laurie Trantner said in response, ``We recognize that the current health care delivery costs money and there's a potential for savings. We are working cooperatively with the (congressional) committees to reach a solution that will benefit veterans.'' She said committees to be formed to help change the system ``will balance local interests and national priorities that will serve local veterans' needs.'' The report was prepared for Rep. Terry Everett, R-Ala., chairman of the House Veterans Affairs subcommittee on oversight and investigations. He said the agency must address ``findings that one in four veterans' health care dollars'' is spent on operating and maintaining facilities that include ``empty old buildings and 5 million square feet of vacant space.'' He said experts have described the VA health care system as ``archaic, decrepit, dysfunctional and inefficient.'' The backdrop for the wasted spending is a VA hospital system that dropped from 49,000 patients a day in 1989 to 21,000 in 1998, with nearly half the decline occurring in the past three years. The use of VA hospitals is further expected to ``decline significantly over the next 20 years,'' as the veteran population drops from the current 25 million to an estimated 16 million by 2020, said the report. The GAO gave the VA credit for beginning, in 1995, to transform itself from a hospital operator to a health care provider that relies on community-based medical and residential facilities and outpatient services. At the same time, the report said that over the next two decades, most VA health care buildings will approach or pass their useful life expectancy. More than 40 percent have already operated for more than 50 years, including almost 200 built before 1900. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Chief Justice Celebrates Days of Slavery
-Caveat Lector- Chief Justice Offends Some Lawyers WASHINGTON (AP) - Chief Justice William Rehnquist led a sing-along of ``Dixie'' at a recent conference in Virginia, upsetting lawyers who view the song as a nostalgic appeal to the days of slavery. Some black lawyers said they avoided last month's 4th Circuit Judicial Conference because of their distaste for ``Dixie,'' which was included in a song book distributed for the event and has been sung before. The songs are mostly American standards, including ``America the Beautiful'' and ``Anchors Aweigh.'' The evening typically ends with ``The Battle Hymn of the Republic'' and ``Dixie,'' a Confederate marching song. ``Dixie'' is offensive to blacks, said Brent O.E. Clinkscale, a black attorney. ``I think it's nostalgic for slavery,'' he said. Rehnquist, 74, declined to comment on the controversy. Defenders of ``Dixie'' say the song is a piece of Americana that is appropriate for a mostly Southern conference. The 4th Circuit event is for lawyers and judges from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

[CTRL] Suburbs No Escape
-Caveat Lector- Report: Urban Issues Affect Suburbs By DEB RIECHMANN .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Social and health concerns once centered in America's cities are surfacing in suburbia, according to a report that says the lines between urban and suburban areas is blurring. Cities and their outskirts are reporting similar rates of violent crime, the National Public Health and Hospital Institute said in the report released Wednesday. Outlying areas also are experiencing a rise in teen-age pregnancy and the numbers of dangerously small newborns, and are beginning to confront the problems of providing health care to the poor. ``The findings raise questions about the wisdom of policy initiatives that are based on outdated assumptions - that cities are dangerous enclaves with intractable social problems while suburbs are America's Pleasantvilles,'' Dennis Andrulis, the author of the report, said referring to ``Pleasantville,'' a movie partly set in the idealized life of postwar suburbia. The report compiles information on poverty, crime, disease and health care in the nation's 100 largest cities, their counties and their larger metropolitan areas for the years 1980 to 1996. Among the findings in the report: Cities in the Northeast had lower increases in low-birth weight infants than surrounding suburbs between 1985 and 1995 - 11 percent and 13 percent, respectively. Births to teen-age mothers in these cities decreased more than 7 percent while their suburbs experienced almost a 3 percent increase during the same 10-year period. Blacks, Hispanics and foreign-born populations increasingly are settling in the suburbs. Forty-six urban counties and only 10 cities had an increase in black residents between 1980 and 1990. In the counties surrounding the 25 largest cities, the Hispanic population rose an average of 46 percent in the 10-year period. From 1990 to 1996, one-third of the largest cities led their counties in violent crime rate declines. Cities with the highest crime rates in the 1980s showed the greatest reduction in crime rates through 1996. The 25 largest cities collectively experienced an 11 percent decline between 1990 and 1996 while the rate in surrounding cities increased 1 percent. The number of suburban or county public hospitals, which traditionally have provided the most health care to the poor, declined 43 percent between 1990 and 1996.

[CTRL] KLA and Albanian Sponsors Have Well Documented Roots in The Heroin Trade
-Caveat Lector- www.biblebelievers.org.au/ The following Article by Michael C. Ruppert confirms much of what has been said in previous Newsletters on the Kosovo crisis and aggression against Serbia. KLA and Albanian Sponsors Have Well Documented Roots in The Heroin Trade The Drug Trade Is Entrenched in NATO Politics An exceptional record of respected media sources from the U.S. and Europe have documented that the Kosovo Liberation Army and their Albanian sponsors are heroin-financed organized crime groups struggling to dominate the flow of Middle Eastern heroin into Europe and even the Eastern United States. The Christian Science Monitor reported on Oct. 20, 1994: "Disrupted by the Yugoslav conflict, drug trafficking across the Balkans is making a comeback as Albanian mafia barons carve out a new smuggling route to Western Europe, bypassing the peninsula's war zones, according to United Nations and other narcotics experts." To document the increase in traffic through the Albanian Kosovar region The Monitor continued, "For example, just 14 pounds of hard drugs were seized by Hungarian police in 1990, but by August this year [1994] the figure had risen to 1,304 pounds." In describing the then evolving trade, which was coming to be dominated by Kosovar Albanians The Monitor added, "But European police chiefs fear the conduit will strengthen Kosovo Albanian drug syndicates -- some of the most powerful on the continent -- whose tentacles have stretched as far as the East coast of the United States... "From their base in Velki Trnovac in southern Serbia, dubbed the 'Medellin of the Balkans,' Albanian mafia chiefs oversee their European drug operation and are suspected of masterminding the new Balkan route." Colombia in the Balkans The highly respected Jane's Intelligence Review from Great Britain went much deeper in predicting the coming crisis in a February 1, 1995 article entitled The Balkan Medellin. Three paragraphs from that article are so compelling we reprint them here in their entirety. "The Albanian-dominated region of western Macedonia accounts for a disproportionate share of Macedonia's (FYROM) shrinking GDP. This situation has strengthened Albanophobic sentiments among the ethnic Macedonian majority, especially as a great deal of revenue is thought to derive from Albanian narco-terrorism as well as associated gun-running and cross-border smuggling to and from Albania, Bulgaria and the Kosovo province of Serbia. Although its extent and forms remain in dispute, this rising Albanian economic power is helping to turn the Balkans into a hub of criminality. "Previously transported to Western Europe through former Yugoslavia, heroin from Turkey, the Transcaucus and points further east is now being increasingly routed to Italy via the Black Sea, Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia. This is a development that has strengthened the Albanian mafia which is now thought to control 70% of the illegal heroin market in Germany and Switzerland. Closely allied to the powerful Sicilian mafia, the Albanian associates have also greatly benefited from the presence of large numbers of mainly Kosovar Albanians in a number of western European countries; Switzerland alone now has over 100,000 ethnic Albanian residents. As well as providing a perfect cover for Albanian criminals, this diaspora is also a useful source of income for racketeers . . . "If left unchecked, this growing Albanian narco-terrorism could lead to a Colombian syndrome in the Southern Balkans, or the emergence of a situation in which the Albanian mafia becomes powerful enough to control one or more states in the region. In practical terms, this will involve either Albania or Macedonia, or both. Politically, this is now being done by channeling growing foreign exchange (forex) profits from narco-terrorism into local governments and political parties. In Albania, the ruling Democratic Party (DP) led by President Sali Berisha is now widely suspected of tacitly tolerating and even directly profiting from drug-trafficking for wider politico-economic reasons, namely the financing of secessionist political parties and other groupings in Kosovo and Macedonia." These four-year-old evaluations, along with an abundance of other evidence of Albanian-Kosovar mafia expansion paint a whole new picture of what is really happening in Kosovo. Clearly Serbia is legitimately defending itself from an organized crime syndicate taking control of one of its provinces. How powerful is the Albanian mafia? Well, as far back as 1985 it was powerful enough to frighten New York U.S. attorney Rudy Giulliani who, according to a Wall Street Journal story dated September 9, was receiving special personal protection after prosecuting a heroin case in New York City connected to a ring of powerful Albanian traffickers.

-Caveat Lector- Ready for blastoff: a Brookhaven engineer puts finishing touches to the ion collider Big Bang machine could destroy Earth by Jonathan Leake Science Editor 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 the power of the collisions. When they smash into each other, at one of several intersections between the tubes, they will generate minuscule fireballs of superdense matter with temperatures of about a trillion degrees - 10,000 times hotter than the sun. Such conditions are thought not to have existed - except possibly in the heart of some dense stars - since the Big Bang that formed the universe between 12 billion and 15 billion years ago. Under such conditions atomic nuclei "evaporate" into a plasma of even smaller particles called quarks and gluons. Theoretical and experimental evidence predicts that such a plasma would then emit a shower of other, different particles as it cooled down. Among the particles predicted to appear during this cooling are strange quarks. These have been detected in other accelerators but always attached to other particles. RHIC, the most powerful such machine yet built, has the ability to create solitary strange quarks for the first time since the universe began. BNL confirmed that there had been discussion over the possibility of "perturbations in the universe". Thomas Ludlam, associate project director of RHIC, said that the committee would hold its first meeting shortly. John Nelson, professor of nuclear physics at Birmingham University who is leading the British scientific team at RHIC, said the chances of an accident were infinitesimally small - but Brookhaven had a duty to assess them. "The big question is whether the planet will disappear in the twinkling of an eye. It is astonishingly unlikely that there is any risk - but I could not prove it," he said.

[CTRL] Wright Patterson AFB : What's Going On There?
-Caveat Lector- This is a little old but it is handy to know where all the ufo centres are. Nicky Wright Patterson AFB : What's Going On There? Captain Edward Ruppelt while head of the U.S. Air Force's Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) "Project Bluebook", was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Some believe Wright-Patterson to be a 24 hour Top Secret UFO monitoring and research station. After the July 2, 1947 crash of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico, the wreckage of the craft was loaded onto a B-29 and shipped directly to Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. Wright Field (as it was formerly known) was the headquarters for the Air Materiel Command (AMC). General Nathan Twining was the Commanding General of the AMC back in 1947. He is also implicated as being one of the original "MJ-12" members. Gun camera film taken from F-86A Sabre jets in 1953-54 was later taken to Wright-Patterson AFB for evaluation. Colonel John Burnett was the Air Attache to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Pat in 1965 and met with a Captain Bruce Cathie, a New Zealand airline pilot who related to Burnett that he had discovered evidence for a "worldwide grid system used by UFOs". Burnett revealed to Cathie that intensive UFO research was going on there. In Cathie's second book he says the following..."The scientific laboratory there, set up for the purpose, was described as a complex of buildings covering a large area and staffed by many of the world's top scientists. Experimental work was carried out twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. The crash of a 100ft in diameter saucer with 16 dead aliens aboard near Aztec, New Mexico in 1948, had its remains sent to Wright-Pat shortly thereafter. In a book by Jean-Charles Fumoux in 1981 entitled "Preuves Scientifiques OVNI", the author relates how Leon B. Visse, an alleged expert on histons (elements connected with cellular genetic material) was invited in 1959 to a military compound at Wright-Patterson AFB, where he was asked to perform an experiment on the histonic weight of particular cells. Visse was later taken into a special room where he viewed two humanoid corpses. Leonard Stringfield contacted a former Navy test pilot known as "P.J.", who related the story of him and several other Navy pilots coming across a saucer-shaped aircraft which was being guarded at Wright-Patterson AFB back in April/1962. He was puzzled by the seeming lack of security since the object was not located in the test facility of the AFB. Tommy Blann, a researcher, interviewed a Colonel "X" who said, "In the earlier years they had taken some bodies to this base, but later it depended on where they were found. They had a hell of a time setting up procedures for this operation, as well as getting craft out of the area without it being observed. Usually this was done at nighttime." Colonel"X" also told Blann that he believed that in more recent years the bodies were flown outside the U.S. to a secret naval installation on an island in the Pacific. Senator Barry Goldwater was denied access into a building at Wright Patterson AFB because it was classified above Top Secret. Goldwater did say that he understood that a plan was underway to release all or part of this material sometime in the future... although he didn't know what it was, he did say that he was aware of the rumours. * Note: The above was taken from Timothy Good's 1988 UFO Book entitled "Above Top Secret".

Re: [CTRL] JFK Jr - Laser Blinded in the Night ?
-Caveat Lector- On Thu, 22 Jul 1999, Bill Kingsbury wrote: A reporter witnessed a 'big white flash in the sky' at the time of the crash. This is the clue... Can you -- or ANYONE -- give a citation for this assertion that ANYONE, whether a reporter or not, saw a 'big white flash in the sky at the time of the crash'... I've seen this assertion in various emails for a couple of days now, but no one ever gives the name of the reporter, what news outlet reported this, WHEN they reported, etc. I find it very suspicious...first, that a reporter would conveniently be in the area to witness this, and yet no one else in the area seems to have noticed it One would think that the Martha's Vineyard air control personnel would have taken notice of a bright flash, especially when Kennedy's plane didn't land No, the ONLY account of a witness that was reported on in the first hours, reported live on MSNBC between 10:30 and 11am EDT on Saturday morning, and also recounted in the New York Times, is of a man who was out fishing that night, who reported seeing the lights on the plane, which appeared to be flying at about 40 feet above the water; if his account is accurate, it would seem that Kennedy, if he DID nosedive as later reports spun the version of what possibly happened, he seems to have recovered, albeit at an abnormally low altitude. According to the witness, the plane was circling and approaching the Martha's Vineyard airport from a direction which the witness claimed was common for pilots who missed their first approach to the landing strip... MSNBC went on to state that this witness then said that both the lights and the sounds of the engine (which to the witness said did not sound in trouble) 'disappeared without a sound'no explosion, no blinding flash, not even the sound of a splash into the water...it was just there one second, and not there the next... Whatever THAT might imply, the fact remains that his account remains the earliest reported account -- reported in at least TWO media outlets -- of someone who WAS in a position to be an eyewitness...and his version is the exact opposite of a 'blinding flash in the sky' So I'd like some confirmation of where this 'blinding flash' version of events came from, what media outlets have reported it, and more revealing, WHO the reporter is who 'just happened' to be in the area, and who the reporter works for. Blinding by Incindiary Flash Warhead ? or Military- Laser Ocular Disintegrator ? or Montauk Particle Beam Weapon ? A kid with a laserlight keychain, fooling around? If Kennedy was blinded by either of the things you mention above, why didn't he radio the airport that he was having trouble? Or his wife or sister-in-law? When the supposed evidence is CRITICALLY analyzed, we really don't have PROOF that they even made it to Martha's Vineyard...what we DO have is the airport, claiming almost 12 hours after the search for the plane commenced, to have been in contact with him shortly before he was due to land. If this is true, why did they let the searchers roam far and wide during the first 12 hours of the search -- as you remember, Saturday morning and well into Satruday afternoon, we were being told that searchers HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO SEARCH But then suddenly the Martha's Vineyard airport 'remembers' they talked to Kennedy when he was only a few miles out from the island...why then didn't they alert the authorities to that 'fact' early on? You may also remember that most of Saturday we were told Kennedy's plane was of the type where it wouldn't record on radar, and hence there were no records of where exactly it travelled on it's way to Cape Cod...this was also mentioned as a reason searchers didn't know where exactly to look for the plane And yet suddenly we were told not only WAS the plane recorded on the MV airport's radar, but 2 others, allowing a 'triangulation' that not only pinpointed the plane -- actually, what can be said with any validity is that the radar recorded A plane, PRESUMED to be Kennedy's -- but it's supposed rate of descent (remember, the eyewitness report which is the earliest substantiated report, does NOT mention the plane in a nosedive, but flying parallel with the ocean, albeit only 40 feet up...) So the FACT remains that for at least the first 12 hours of the search on Sunday, searchers were diverted AWAY from Martha's Vineyard... Which leaves us with only two options: either the Martha's Vineyard airport is lying when it says it talked to Kennedy shortly before he told them he was going to land there; or they deliberately withheld that information for 12 hours from the search and rescue parties. Either option is 'troubling', to say the least. And now, conveniently, the bodies have been buried at sea, preempting any researchers/investigators from possibly exhuming the bodies at a later date for further investigation... The bodies are cremated --
Re: [CTRL] Fwd: Officials Want New Forfeiture Bill
-Caveat Lector- The real reason behind this last grab at forfeiture laws, and you are going to see a lot of this now, with a lot of heavy money behind it, is because George Bush Jr is doing the same thing his brother did in Florida. First the endorsement of the Wealthy Elite through huge contributions. Then the corruption and outright purchase of most law enforcement by promising extreme job security and profits to everybody involved. This is easy to do because all he has to do is quote his fathers track record. No one elses methods worked as well as George Bush Sr's methods for exploding the law enforcement/prison industry. He had the cia behind him. They control the war on drugs from both sides, both legal and illegal. No conspiracy this is just history. The clincher here in Florida was the fundamental Billy Graham Crusade and the promise that no matter how bad it got, Jesus would be there, in the personna of the Bush Family, to help the people. They are tied into a ministry network of tax exempt businesses that is very similar to mafia organization. The powers that are are beginning to perpetrate their psycho control on the mass through enforcement of simple FEAR and it works! They have tried and proven methods. The cops are loathe to lose any hold because it weakens their long term peositions. They have mega moneys behind them because, as they see it, all they have to do is keep it going and the money will make George Bush President. That is to be the message of the next election. Don't try to beat money! It can't work. IF there is an electronic corruption, a votescam, and I believe there is because I worked at Clintons campaign 1996 (The Year Of The Knife) and saw a lot, then they don't need all this showmanship and money power EXCEPT TO A SIGNAL TO THE PEOPLE, AND THE ACTIVISTS THAT ALL IS LOST BECAUSE NOTHING CAN BEAT MONEY. The Bush family truly is Evil Incarnate, and America has become their prey. They are getting ready to make examples of some high profile marijuana cases by railroading them through a corrupt justice system and undermining the peoples confidence or ability to act. George Bush jr is making it like he is the last and only hope of the Law Enforcement Industry. Very Sick Thing. They are nazis pure and simple.

Re: [CTRL] JFK Jr -- the bodies
-Caveat Lector- The bodies are cremated -- WHOSE bodies? This is the first I've heard of cremation...I heard that they were buried at sea, I didn't hear that they were cremated...if they were cremated, there would be no reason to 'bury them at sea', altho the families may have wished to have a ceremony of scattering the ashes at sea. No, it's my understanding that the bodies were NOT cremated, and that 3 coffins were dumped overboard... Perhaps with bodies in them, perhaps not...at this point, we can only take the version we are being spoon fed...which, based on the discrepancies of what is being claimed regarding Kennedy talking to the MV airport before landing, must be taken with a grain of salt The PUBLIC has not seen the wreckage, nor have we seen the bodies...we have only been TOLD that they were found... CNN also reported yesterday afternoon that "at the family's request, NO PHOTOS WERE TAKEN OF THE BODIES DURING THE AUTOPSIES" (emphasis mine).

Re: [CTRL] Your Taxes at Work: $1 Million A Day WASTED by VA
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 07/23/1999 5:02:26 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: WASHINGTON (AP) - Stuck with old, decrepit hospitals and serving a declining population, the Department of Veterans Affairs is wasting up to $1 million a day on unneeded medical facilities, congressional investigators report. Nothing boils our current congress and military leaders like the idea of fulfilling the promises made to the nation's veterans after WWII. Now is a good time to start pulling the few benefits that remain. The veterans are beginning to die off in ever increasing numbers (especially those most grievously in need of Veterans' hospitals) which means the voter base is shifting. Now is the time to cry about how much their care has wasted precious dollars that could go into congressional pork barrels. Congress could have made the Veterans' hospitals the caregivers for the thousands of retired military members who have been denied the lifetime health care that was promised to retirees and their dependents in place of a decent wage. I recall the words very well. "It's true the military doesn't pay as much as the civilian sector does, but just consider that you will have commissary and exchange benefits and free medical care for you and your dependents as long as you live." They chose instead to tell military retirees that this had only been a policy not a law, therefore they could take a hike. This sudden discovery that Veterans' hospitals (which do not treat retirees and their dependents) are a waste of money has been expected. Other veterans' benefits have been dump already. In fact, for all practical purposes, the veterans' have been dumped--the retirees too. Watch carefully all you young prospective cannon fodder. When your government calls you to fight, it will tell just as many lies and lose interest in you and your welfare just as quickly.

[CTRL] Fwd: Democrats should be very afraid of GB2
Status: U Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 21:33:58 -0700 From: marco capelli frucht [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: ati MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Williams Institute [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Democrats should be very afraid of GB2 Hi Michael, I could have sent you the whole page, but I know how long it takes you to load in graphics and the cost, etc. So here's the text. The page if you care to go to it is at: http://www.thecapitaltimes.com/nichols%20-%20dems%20-%20072299.htm Democrats should be very afraid of GB2 MILWAUKEE -- Democrats should be afraid, very afraid, of George W. Bush. Yes, of course, there are plenty of reasons why the front-runner in every poll leading up to the 2000 presidential campaign might yet lose. Yes, with barely a single term as governor of Texas to his credit, the great Republican hope is less qualified to occupy the Oval Office even than Ronald Reagan. Yes, the Texas governor's "compassionate conservatism'' is every bit as vague as the "putting people first'' line peddled by Bill Clinton in 1992. Yes, Bush has been sucking up dubious money faster than Al Gore at a Buddhist temple. Yes, yes, yes, yes, there are plenty of arguments for dismissing GB2 as little more than a famous name in an ill-fitting suit. But Democrats who think they will retain the presidency by dismissing GB2 as a manufactured candidate who can't get the taste of the silver spoon out of his mouth are in for a rude awakening. GB2, who made his first Wisconsin campaign stops here on Wednesday, proved himself to be the ablest first-time presidential candidate to work this state since Bill Clinton in 1991. Indeed, while Republicans like Bush campaign official Jim Klauser grumble at the notion, comparisons between GB2 and the current chief executive are entirely appropriate. Like Clinton, GB2 eschews coherent ideological statements in favor of platitudes, and, also like Clinton, the Texan makes the formula palatable by peppering his speech with lines like, "The next president must close the gap of hope,'' and promising to unleash "a quiet river of goodness and kindness that cuts through stone.'' By fuzzing the political margins, GB2 is turning the 2000 presidential race into a personality contest. And that's a race he can win. The GOP front-runner shares Clinton's ability to connect with people instantly. Equally at ease speaking Spanish with kids at the Bruce Guadalupe Community School in south Milwaukee and talking politics with the state's wealthiest Republicans at the Midwest Express Center downtown, GB2 is no standard-issue GOP pol. When GB2 meets people, he grabs their hand, leans in almost too close and fixes them with eye contact of a quality that some married couples never achieve. GB2 lingers, he asks questions, smiles easily and gently calls the people with whom he has gathered to follow their better instincts. When GB2 talks about "responsibility'' -- as GOP presidential candidates do with tiresome frequency -- he is not merely picking on welfare moms, he is also telling right-wing Republicans to get a life. Standing amid a group of GOP legislators, he threw his arm around the shoulder of state Rep. Bonnie Ladwig, R-Racine, the source of some of the Legislature's loopiest proposals. Still on a high from his visit to the Guadalupe School, GB2 told the group that Wisconsin Republicans should do more to reach out to Milwaukee's burgeoning Latino community. In particular, he said Republicans must jettison divisive proposals such as "English-only'' legislation. "English-only basically says to Latinos you don't count. It's insulting,'' said GB2, who has given portions of his two gubernatorial inaugural addresses in Spanish. It is doubtful that GB2 knew that Ladwig was chief sponsor of the misguided "English-only'' bill currently languishing in the Legislature. But the Racine County Republican could not have missed the fact that her brand of compassionless conservatism won't find much sympathy in a GB2 GOP. That may disappoint Ladwig, but it ought to terrify Democrats. For the past decade, the Democratic Party has counted on the Republicans to nominate inept and inarticulate presidential candidates who are hobbled by an inability to credibly distance themselves from the hate-mongering of the radical right. If Democrats think GB2 is a Y2K version of his father or Bob Dole, they are in for the biggest political surprise since Republicans laughed off Bill Clinton as "the corrupt governor of a small Southern state.''

EDITORIAL: And The Winner Is... http://www.drcnet.org/wol/100.html#editorial 1. 100 ISSUES LATER... On July 3, 1997, DRCNet launched The Week Online, the nation's only weekly news magazine dedicated to original coverage of the drug war and drug policy reform. The movement has come a long way in the short time since that first issue; nine more reform-oriented voter initiatives have been approved in the United States, harm reduction -- and drug policy reform generally -- continue to gain mainstream acceptance around the globe, two US governors, along with numerous prominent citizens and the editorial boards of a growing number of the nation's largest newspapers have called for a reexamination of the drug war; African-American leaders have come to the fore to openly oppose mandatory minimum sentencing, racial profiling, the number of young Black males in prison and official foot- dragging on syringe exchange -- drug war issues all; and factions of the US government have displayed their concern over the growing movement to end the drug war by redoubling efforts to demonize, harass and slander the advocates of reform. Over the past two years, DRCNet has grown as well. Back in July of '97, DRCNet's staff consisted of Dave and Adam, working out of a room in the offices of the Drug Policy Foundation (to whom we are indebted for their continued support). Today we have a full-time staff of four, (Karynn and Kris have both been here for over a year) with two part- time -- but vitally important -- staff-members (Nissim and Jane) and a growing internship program that has brought us Taylor, Peter and Will. We have been in our own office here in Dupont Circle for more than a year and a half, and we even have a laser printer! The most important indicator of our growth, however, is you. Issue #1 of The Week Online arrived by email to just over 2,000 subscribers. Issue #100 has been sent out to a subscription list of more than 11,000. And many of you (you know who you are) regularly re-post, re-print and forward all or part of each issue to countless others. We thank you. But the real reason for this work is far more important. It is the hundreds of thousands of Americans who sit today behind bars for non-violent drug offenses. It is America's children, who have easy access to dangerous substances in the unregulated black market. It is the Constitution of the United States, which has been chiseled away by years of "drug war exceptions," and it is the future of this nation and a world awash in a violent and insidiously corrupting industry which buys off governments, finances despots and terrorists, and makes a mockery of the rule of law and the ideals of freedom, liberty and personal responsibility. We thank you all for being part of the solution, and we hope that in the time it takes to produce the next hundred issues of The Week Online, you too will redouble your commitment to ending America's longest war. It is a war not on drugs but on people, and families, and principles. It is within our power to end this war, and as the leading edge of the growing resistance, it is our responsibility to do so. The future is truly in our hands. Let us shape it wisely, together. - The staff of DRCNet 2.

-Caveat Lector- from: a friend. - David Tice The Prudent Bear King Dollar? July 21, 1999 After last weeks powerful advance, and extraordinary buyers panic throughout the technology sector, it certainly appears that a break has developed in speculative psychology. So far this week, the Dow has declined about 2% and the SP 500 almost 3%. The Transports and Utilities have bucked the trend, gaining 1%. Many large-caps have outperformed the indices, with the Morgan Stanley Cyclical and Morgan Stanley Consumer indices both dropping about 1%. The Russell 2000 has shed almost 2%. The tech sector, after an historic speculative run, has given up some gains. So far this week, the NASDAQ 100 has declined 4%, the Morgan Stanley High Tech index 5%, and the semiconductor stocks 6%. Year-to-date gains, however, remain astonishing at 29%, 34% and 41%. The Internet stocks have actually held up relatively well, with The Street.com Internet index declining 3% this week. Financial stocks have been under pressure with the SP Bank index and Bloomberg Wall Street index both dropping 3%. Interestingly, this selling has occurred despite very strong earnings reports and a stable bond market. The poor performance within the financial sector, however, does appear related to a sharp sell-off in the dollar. Certainly, we view the dollar as a critical factor in the US bubble. For the past six weeks, the Bank of Japan has been intervening repeatedly in currency markets to support the value of the dollar. Estimates have the BOJ spending $25 billion in this effort. Despite this, today the dollar closed at 118 yen, down from 121 at the end of June and about 140 yen this time last year. We have, of course, often referred to the weak dollar as an ominous signal that all was not right in the US financial system. Now, a sharply weaker dollar against the Euro and Swiss Franc make this week look like an important inflection point for the greenback. Monday was a key day in the currencies with the dollar trading below 118 yen, clobbered for a more than 2% decline. The dollar also reversed sharply and lost considerable ground against the Euro and Swiss Franc. Monday morning business headlines had talk of the Euro trading at par with the dollar. This afternoon, the Euro is above 105, 4% above Mondays lows. The Swiss Franc has also rallied about 3% against the dollar this week. Are fundamentals beginning to shine through? In regard to fundamentals, yesterdays trade data was simply atrocious. With expectations for a trade deficit of $19.2 billion, the actual number came in at $21.3, 40% greater than last Mays deficit. For comparison, the trade gap was $14 billion in May of 1998 and $8 billion in May of 1997. From two years ago, goods exports have declined 2% to $56 billion, while goods imports have increased 14% to $86 billion. Clearly, our trade position is deteriorating rapidly, no matter how you look at it. Since January, higher usage and higher prices has led to a 66% increase in imports of "energy-related petroleum. " Orders for Japanese microchip-making equipment rose 34%, year-over-year. Year to date, automobile imports have increased 17% and consumer goods 8%. By country, our imports from Canada, our largest trading partner, rose almost 10%, from Mexico 11%, China 12%, France 10%, Germany 8%, United Kingdom 9%, and Korea 19%. This certainly provides some explanation as to why these economies are doing better. Our countrys export situation, however, continues to look bleak. Year-over-year, exports to Western Europe have declined about 2%, while exports to Eastern Europe collapsed 44%. Exports to Japan are 10% below last year and Hong Kong 20%. The recovering economy in Korea was noticeable, however, with a big jump of American imports. Closer to home, prospects in Latin America look particularly poor. The recession-battered economy in Brazil imported 16% less US goods, Argentina 19%, and Colombia 30%. Yesterday, Argentinas Economic Minister estimated that the countrys industrial production in June was 10% below last year. Today, a leading economic consulting firm stated that Argentine industrial production continues to decline, with June levels 14% below last year. Interestingly, it was not that many months ago that conventional thinking in the markets and economic community had it as an economic truth that Argentinas currency board was a savior, ensuring financial and economic stability. Well, now Argentina is a basket case and some are beginning to call for a repudiation of the currency board so the Argentine central bank can begin "printing money". Wow, what a difference a few months makes. Today, the piece, written back in January by Lawrence Kudlow, "King Dollar Smartest Way to Rule Latin America" seems a bit off the mark. Basically, his argument had the dollar as "King" of the world and all countries had to do to prosper was either have a currency board tied to the dollar, like Argentina, or simply dollarize.
[CTRL] InterPol report: JFK, Jr. was assassinated (fwd) -- Critique from Sprunt (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 10:24:14 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: InterPol report: JFK, Jr. was assassinated (fwd) -- Critique from Sprunt This should be fun -- please see some comments from me below within brackets. (Actually, reading the stuff below was beyond fun -- it was a total hoot! Unless the writer of the original piece below was trying to be something other than humorous, he's a total failure.) Corrections/clairifications to any of my comments below by those truly in the know are welcomed. . . Warm regards, Hugh Sprunt Nature -- Suspect. Repeat -- Suspect. Case review -- Final -- notwithstanding review. Request open Status pending Final. Eyes Only -- Chief Bureaus. Subject, John F. Kennedy, Jr., left Essex County Airport, Caldwell, N.J., at 8:38 P.M. Friday, July 16, 1999 in a Piper Saratoga II TC. [This is the Turbocharged version of the Saratoga. Right or wrong, the media accounts which are sufficiently specific refer to the aircraft as an HP model (perhaps this marketing term by Piper is the basis for the media comments about the plane being a hot fast aircraft. HP apparently means High Performance and refers to the fact that this model has better performance than the model with fixed landing gear. The HP model apparently has a tricycle landing gear but NOT a turbocharged engine a higher cruise speed at altitude and a higher range of altitutdes can be reached. In each case, turbo or non-turbo, the engine is a 300 HP Continental six cylinder piston engine so far as I know.] Aircraft was built in 1995, purchased last year by subject. It has been reported to have been in excellent condition -- simple and comfortable to fly. Subject did NOT file a flight plan (?) and it is suspected he altered his route. [At this report in such an analysis we would be told the original route and the alteration, the reason why K would have thought the alteration would have the result he intended, and the reason why it did not.] We strongly suspect this to be true because subject KNEW he was under surveillance. [So why didn't K tell the NYPD, etc., that he was being stalked -- don't you think he would have gotten a substantial reaction? If K could tell he was under surveillance, don't you think the police could spot the same surveillance (not to meniton any PIs K could have hired.] Visibility was eight (8) miles -- I say again -- visibility was eight (8) miles. Media reports of "hazy" or "foggy" conditions are untrue. [Interesting statement, but it can be tested via a few phone calls and faxes. Even if visibility was eight miles (which it certainly could have been), the writer of our "report" here apparently does not realize that eight miles visibilty is materially restricted visibility -- the light 170 feet above the beach at Gay's head (marine navigation light) can be seen 20 miles away at night under typical conditions of good visibility.] Subject's flight path took him over the Connecticut shore. After passing over the south-Western tip of Rhode Island aircraft banked and began its approach to Martha's Vineyard Airport at 9:26 P.M. Subject was expected at airport by no later than 10:00 P.M. [If he altered his route as stated above, why did he take one of the standard VFR routes to MV from his departure point -- hug the north shore of LI sound until the point one turns right for the short flight over Rhode Island Sound to MV. Also, One would not turn over the southwestern tip of Rhode Island to head to MV -- one would do that only if one were headed for Block Island. One would instead normally make the right turn in the vicinity of Newport, RI. Perhaps the writer means his reference to a turn to the right over the SW corner of RI to be understood as the "altered route" he previously referred to?] At 9:39 P.M. JFK radioed the Martha's Vineyard Airport giving his location. Subject was completely calm, giving no indication of any difficulties, stating that he was making his final approach, [This shows the writer's lack of familiarity with aviation terms -- one does not begin one's "final approach" this far from the airport WITH a series of turns still to be made to line up with the landing runway. "Final Approach" or "Final" is the last segment of an approach to a runway -- the stright segment lined up with the runway. The other components (not all flown in one approach usually) are the crosswind leg, the downwind leg, the base leg, and (finally) the final approach leg.] no more than 10 miles from the shore, and 13 miles from the airport. Subject then began his (final) [Another give-away -- one does not get cute in reports of the nature this one claims to be.] descent. Subject was at 5,600 feet when he headed out over the ocean. When he radioed at 9:39 P.M., 17-18 miles West of Martha's Vineyard, he was at 2,500 feet. [If this were a real report as claimed and I was this
[CTRL] Environmental Issues
-Caveat Lector- From TheIndependent (UK) BALKAN AFTERMATH: WAVE OF SICKNESS SWEEPS SERB TOWN MADE TOXIC BY NATO BOMBS THE ECOLOGICAL time bomb is ticking. Nobody knows when or how it will explode. For the moment, the visible effects are almost routine. In recent weeks many people in the Serbian town of Pancevo have come out in red blotches and blisters, after lying in the grass for a few minutes, for example, or after picking vegetables. Theoretically it could be just a common batch of allergies. But, says Zoran Nedic, dermatologist and secretary of the health committee in Pancevo, "I've never seen anything on this scale." The number of skin problems has doubled in recent weeks. Dr Nedic sees this as the tip of the iceberg. A United Nations mission, led by the former Finnish environment minister Pekka Haavisto, has been in Pancevo this week to assess the potentially devastating scale of the problem. Everybody in Pancevo, a town of 150,000, shares the fear of what they describe as the ekologicheska katastrofa - Nato bombing of the town has unleashed a poisonous cocktail of thousands of tons of toxic chemicals into the water, air and soil. The fertiliser factory was bombed, releasing huge amounts of ammonia into the air and into the Danube. The oil refinery was repeatedly bombed: 20,000 tons of crude oil were burnt up in one bombardment alone, and a cloud of black smoke hung in the air for 10 days. The petrochemicals factory was bombed: 1,400 tons of ethylene dichloride poured into the Danube, and high concentrations of vinyl chloride, the main constituent of PVC, were released into the atmosphere at more than 10,000 times the permitted level. And so it goes on. The official list of environmental damage runs to six closely typed pages, from the first bombing raid, on 24 March, to the last, on 8 June. Each of these events separately would, in ordinary times, set environmental alarm bells ringing. When combined in a multiple cataclysm - in the early hours of 18 April, several factories were bombed within a few minutes of each other - the effects are incalculable. As Dr Nedic points out: "Never in history have a petrochemicals factory, an oil refinery and a fertiliser factory all been on fire during a single day." He predicts that cancer rates will be "sharply up" in the years to come. Dr Sava Stajic, of the Pancevo Society against Cancer, notes that cancer levels were already higher than average in the area because of the industrial pollution from the factories in previous years. But he, too, argues that there will be an "epidemic increase" because of the hundreds of thousands of tons of "highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals" that have been released - including uncertain quantities of chlorine, mercury, hydrocarbons, ammonia, nitrogen and sulphur oxides, phosphorous compounds and hydrogen halides. It is a case of "name a toxic chemical, and it is on the list". The mayor of Pancevo, Srdjan Mikovic, deeply resents Nato's willingness to bomb the town without consideration for the effects - what he describes as "a serious intention to kill the town". He and the city council represent the anti-Milosevic opposition. But he argues that the destructive bombing of the town has done much to destroy pro-Western feeling. He points to a cupboard where he has stowed the British and American flags that he used to keep on his desk. "We received their ambassadors here. We never dreamed that these countries might bomb us." Certainly there can be no chance to plead ignorance of the implications. Many factories were built and installed by Western companies. After the fires, "black rain" fell on Pancevo and the surrounding area, covering plants with a slimy layer. There was an official warning against eating vegetables fresh and without careful washing. But most fear that the longer- term effects will be much more drastic than the problems of coping with greasy lettuce. The Danube may have been affected downstream into Romania. Crop changes in the surrounding area seem inevitable. The black jokes abound. How do children in Pancevo count to 30? By counting on the fingers of both hands. Dr Nedic argues that talk of biological change is more than just fantasy. "A lot of the chemicals released are not just carcinogens but can also cause mutation," he said. Timothy Garden, Review, page 4 Chinese Embassy Attack Was CIA Error THE CHINESE embassy in Belgrade that was erroneously bombed during Nato's Kosovo operation was the only target of the conflict that was nominated by the Central Intelligence Service, it was revealed yesterday. Testifying before Congress about the most diplomatically costly mistake of the war, the head of the CIA, George Tenet, said that the building was thought to house a Yugoslav arms agency. The error was ascribed to a failure in updating by the Pentagon's mapping agency. However, Mr Tenet said
[CTRL] Myth-tifying
-Caveat Lector- From LA TIMES Friday, July 23, 1999 Commentary Coverage a Senseless Tragedy in Itself By HOWARD ROSENBERG, Times Television Critic Picture: If you dare to raise questions about any of this, you're immediately branded a heartless, soulless, mindless cretin. However . . . Now that John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife and sister-in-law have been buried at sea on live television--delivered there Thursday like heads of state and eulogized by somber celebrity anchors against a medley of chopper pictures from the heavens and file footage of a toddling John-John--doesn't this set a precedent? The thunderous homage to the late Princess Diana notwithstanding, these are really uncharted waters. It's a grim thought, and of course, here's hoping it doesn't happen. But holy hypothetical! What if Ron Reagan Jr.--son and namesake of another beloved president--should die as prematurely as John F. Kennedy Jr., and his family would want to have him buried at sea too? Would this spectacle recur? Would we go through this again . . . and again, with the cameras, commentators and choppers on call as the occasion demands? Or would the media say no, because the Reagan family's record of suffering doesn't match the Kennedys? In other words, this is all a bit crazy and hysterical, don't you think? To say nothing of manipulative. Television had already explored to the hilt the Kennedys' perilous, oft-lethal encounters with flying. Now, on to something else. The sea. "And John Kennedy Jr. goes down to the sea for the last time," concluded a Thursday profile on CNN set to melancholy music. To music. Because their staffs have to shut their yaps once in a while, some of the networks on Thursday also reran an audiotape of John F. Kennedy Sr.'s monologue about humankind coming from the sea and "going back from whence we came." In case you didn't catch the irony--the adult son's death and burial now giving meaning to the father's words--MSNBC delivered it with a sledgehammer by simultaneously showing grainy footage of 2-year-old John-John at the wheel of a boat. If only some of these TV people would go back from whence they came, for this was one more cheap emotional whirlpool in a sea of them. Moments later, ever-present New York Daily News columnist Mike Barnicle, a neighbor and friend of the Kennedys--as many reporting and commenting on this story on TV appear to be--said he was sure that JFK Jr.'s uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy, the senator from Massachusetts, could "hear his family's history on the wind." That is if he could hear anything above the roar of inflated rhetoric. And you wonder why they call the Kennedys mythic. The facts are that John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, died tragically, delivering an unthinkable blow to their families and causing much of the nation to feel very sad about the loss of this trio of beautiful, accomplished 30-somethings. It's the shameless litter of the surrounding coverage that's so maddening. That includes TV reporters repeatedly asking the obligatory question: "Who will carry the Kennedy banner now?" As if JFK Jr. had done that. And as if his uncle's senatorial career were chopped liver. It also includes TV dwelling on long lines of bouquet-bearing mourners sadly queuing up in long lines outside Kennedy's residence in New York's TriBeCa district. As if they represented mainstream America. On Thursday, CNN read the signs some had brought with them, including: "John-John, God has voted you president in heaven." Now there's perspective. You look at these long faces and see, in essence, the same worshipful pilgrims who travel annually to Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion in Memphis to tearfully light candles on the anniversary of his death. The same ones who continue to hang out at the graves of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. The ones who stand outside and shout at stars arriving for the Emmy and Oscar ceremonies. The ones who because of some internal void find meaning and personal expression only through the lives of celebrities, instead of living fully themselves. If Kennedy was as grounded and straight-thinking as many now say he was, he would have despised all of this. That includes the relentless fawning over his image. CNN's star reporter, Christiane Amanpour, who also works for CBS, was on "60 Minutes" Sunday, being interviewed by Mike Wallace about her close friendship with JFK Jr. since college. And her easy, relaxed way of recalling him as someone she adored, without elevating him to divinity, was not only full of intimate insights, but also departed refreshingly from the swollen verbiage of many other newscasters. Yet her appearance also symbolized a media phenomenon of the last couple of decades that may explain some of TV's detail-by-detail obsession

-Caveat Lector- Yes and it is filth and it is disgusting. It is Psychological Warfare pure and simple. Look at it, know it for that, and its very easy to see. Concerted Efforts at Mind Control. "A.C. Szul Jr." wrote: -Caveat Lector- FYI, interesting observations by Media Research Center's Chair, Brent Bozell, on TV/media coverage of PBR. No wonder there are folks out there complaining about HMOs, especially after they're fed such filth by the major news networks.

Brent Bozell III July 22, 1999 The first fight in any political debate is over semantics. Who could be against the "Clean Air Act"? Who could oppose controlling "assault weapons"? The "right to choose"? The 800-pound gorilla in the semantics debate is, of course, the "objective" press. The media have the power to make or break the slogans partisans use. It is common practice for the liberal press to attach the word "so-called" to GOP initiatives. When the Contract with America became the "so-called Contract with America" in news reports, its proponents were placed squarely on the defensive. So prevalent is the "so-called" curse that the media now attach it to organizations themselves, thus bringing doubt to bear not on the issues, but on the participants. When Dan Rather files a story about the "so-called Christian Coalition," it's a clear message to the viewer not to believe the group, period. The Democrats, on the other hand, have no such problem. Whatever they say, and however they put it, is accepted immediately. The latest semantic manipulation in the Democrats' favor is the "patients' bill of rights." The vast majority of press reports from the Senate debate on regulating health maintenance organizations refer without quotes to a "bill of rights," which offers "protections" for patients and doctors against mean, cost-cutting HMO bureaucrats. The Democrats are the champions of this wonderful-sounding idea and the Republicans who oppose it, are well, monsters. So the Republicans have (again) knuckled under with a watered-down version, since who would want to be against "rights" or "protections"? In USA Today, reporter William Welch began: "Senate Republicans, ending a week of bitter partisan debate late Thursday, approved a limited set of federal rights for patients in managed care health plans." Reporters ought to be dropping "so-called" into sentences like this. First, what are patients' rights? To hear the typical Democrat talk, a patient has the right to walk into a hospital and order whatever procedure he wants, and cost is no object. The "patients' bill of rights" is a completely perverse abuse of terminology, a direct opposite to our classic understanding of individual rights, specifically the right to property. What the Democrats are supporting here is their classic understanding of an "entitlement," something that everybody should have no matter how much everybody "else" pays. If Republicans weren't duck-and-cover types, they'd call this the "patients' bill of entitlements." And if the media weren't so blinded by their support of the Democrats, it might occur to them, too. The media also tell us that this "bill of rights" is being advocated by "consumer groups," while those who oppose it are simply bought and paid for by the insurance industry. Now consider these "consumer groups." Many of these groups, like Families USA, are strident left-wing advocacy groups who would love to see Canadian-style single-payer health care installed in the United States. Do they favor "consumers" or some hidden agenda? Question: If insurance groups are protecting their profits and "buying" politicians, then who's "buying" the Democrats? You'll never see the press investigate that one. Reporters are not explaining how the Democrats' push for a right to sue HMOs is a favor to one of their biggest donor groups, the trial lawyers. Somehow, the trial lawyers' push for expensive litigation puts them among the "consumer groups," too. By contrast, note how quickly CBS reporter Bob Schieffer puts the Republicans in someone's pocket: "Pushed by the big insurance companies, the Republican majority stuck together as expected and killed the Democrats' HMO reform plan, plank by plank. On near party line votes, Republicans killed the Democratic proposal to give doctors, not insurance companies, the final say on treatment."

Lind America today is increasingly a conquered nation. What has conquered us? An ideology --specifically, the hideous ideology known as Political Correctness, which is really Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. What is ideology? In philosopher's terms, it is a "construct": a system of ideas, derived from one or another theory, that purports to explain reality. In fact, reality is inevitably more complex than the theory can explain, with the result that reality and theory clash. Here is where the difficulty arises. In science, when reality and theory clash, the theory is revised. But in politics, such revision is considered heresy by the ideologues (In Marxism, "revisionist" was a nasty insult). In their view, the theory is incapable of error. Therefore, reality must be denied, and suppressed. Anyone who recognizes it must be silenced, and punished. The result, as we have seen in Germany, in Russia and elsewhere, is the end of freedom and the growth of tyranny. In terms of the clash between theory and reality, Political Correctness is an extreme ideology, because it is an ideology of total inversion. Beliefs and social relationships are not merely changed, but turned upside down. The old sins, such as sex outside marriage, become virtues, while the old virtues, such as disapproval of homosexuality, become sins. Women are elevated over men, some (not all) racial minorities over whites, the sexually deviant over the sexually normal, the young over the old. Art is intended alienate, not to beautify. Paganism is preferred over Christianity. The more violently an ideology conflicts with reality, the more tyrannical it must become. The tyranny of Political Correctness is already seen on many a college campus, where any professor or student who dares question, finds himself in serious trouble. Any public figure who contradicts its dictates must offer a groveling apology or be cast into outer darkness, exiled from the public square. Why can't more Americans see what is happening? In part, because of the way Political Correctness operates, through psychological conditioning. In part, because it is happening without mobs of workers in the streets carrying hammers and sickles or troops of goose-stepping Brownshirts. In large part, Americans cannot see it because they know "it can't happen here." Only it is happening here. The great question confronting Americans as the 21st century opens is whether we will have to go through the full totalitarian experience, as Germany and Russia did. The form, of course, will be different, but the reality is always the same: thought control, with dissenters facing prison or worse. That is, in the end, what so-called "hate-crimes" are about: the criminalizing of political thoughts that dare defy Political Correctness.

Captain Edward Ruppelt while head of the U.S. Air Force's Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) "Project Bluebook", was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Some believe Wright-Patterson to be a 24 hour Top Secret UFO monitoring and research station. After the July 2, 1947 crash of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico, the wreckage of the craft was loaded onto a B-29 and shipped directly to Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. Wright Field (as it was formerly known) was the headquarters for the Air Materiel Command (AMC). General Nathan Twining was the Commanding General of the AMC back in 1947. He is also implicated as being one of the original "MJ-12" members. Gun camera film taken from F-86A Sabre jets in 1953-54 was later taken to Wright-Patterson AFB for evaluation. Colonel John Burnett was the Air Attache to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Pat in 1965 and met with a Captain Bruce Cathie, a New Zealand airline pilot who related to Burnett that he had discovered evidence for a "worldwide grid system used by UFOs". Burnett revealed to Cathie that intensive UFO research was going on there. In Cathie's second book he says the following..."The scientific laboratory there, set up for the purpose, was described as a complex of buildings covering a large area and staffed by many of the world's top scientists. Experimental work was carried out twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. The crash of a 100ft in diameter saucer with 16 dead aliens aboard near Aztec, New Mexico in 1948, had its remains sent to Wright-Pat shortly thereafter. In a book by Jean-Charles Fumoux in 1981 entitled "Preuves Scientifiques OVNI", the author relates how Leon B. Visse, an alleged expert on histons (elements connected with cellular genetic material) was invited in 1959 to a military compound at Wright-Patterson AFB, where he was asked to perform an experiment on the histonic weight of particular cells. Visse was later taken into a special room where he viewed two humanoid corpses. Leonard Stringfield contacted a former Navy test pilot known as "P.J.", who related the story of him and several other Navy pilots coming across a saucer-shaped aircraft which was being guarded at Wright-Patterson AFB back in April/1962. He was puzzled by the seeming lack of security since the object was not located in the test facility of the AFB. Tommy Blann, a researcher, interviewed a Colonel "X" who said, "In the earlier years they had taken some bodies to this base, but later it depended on where they were found. They had a hell of a time setting up procedures for this operation, as well as getting craft out of the area without it being observed. Usually this was done at nighttime." Colonel"X" also told Blann that he believed that in more recent years the bodies were flown outside the U.S. to a secret naval installation on an island in the Pacific. Senator Barry Goldwater was denied access into a building at Wright Patterson AFB because it was classified above Top Secret. Goldwater did say that he understood that a plan was underway to release all or part of this material sometime in the future... although he didn't know what it was, he did say that he was aware of the rumours. * Note: The above was taken from Timothy Good's 1988 UFO Book entitled "Above Top Secret".

Re: [CTRL] Chief Justice Celebrates Days of Slavery
-Caveat Lector- Interestingly, Dixie was probably written by a black man. It was also said to have been one of Lincoln's favorite songs and one that he had played after the war ended. Howard Davis -- From: Das GOAT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] Chief Justice Celebrates Days of Slavery Date: Fri, Jul 23, 1999, 5:10 AM -Caveat Lector- Chief Justice Offends Some Lawyers WASHINGTON (AP) - Chief Justice William Rehnquist led a sing-along of ``Dixie'' at a recent conference in Virginia, upsetting lawyers who view the song as a nostalgic appeal to the days of slavery. Some black lawyers said they avoided last month's 4th Circuit Judicial Conference because of their distaste for ``Dixie,'' which was included in a song book distributed for the event and has been sung before. The songs are mostly American standards, including ``America the Beautiful'' and ``Anchors Aweigh.'' The evening typically ends with ``The Battle Hymn of the Republic'' and ``Dixie,'' a Confederate marching song. ``Dixie'' is offensive to blacks, said Brent O.E. Clinkscale, a black attorney. ``I think it's nostalgic for slavery,'' he said. Rehnquist, 74, declined to comment on the controversy. Defenders of ``Dixie'' say the song is a piece of Americana that is appropriate for a mostly Southern conference. The 4th Circuit event is for lawyers and judges from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Re: [CTRL] Trouble on Temple Mount
-Caveat Lector- Isn't this mentioned in the book of Revelations? Hilary -- From: Das GOAT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CTRL] Trouble on Temple Mount Date: Friday, July 23, 1999 2:58 AM -Caveat Lector- Muslims Close Al Aqsa Mosque By LAURIE COPANS .c The Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) - Muslim clergymen closed Islam's third holiest shrine Thursday after Jewish extremists called for the expulsion of Muslims from the hill that once held the ancient Jewish Temple, Judaism's most sacred site. Israeli police arrested three members of the outlawed anti-Arab Kach group early Thursday after they distributed leaflets near the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, calling on Jews to ``expel the strangers from the Temple Mount.'' The three were later released. Police issued statements published in Palestinian newspapers Thursday promising that Jewish extremists would not be allowed into the mosque area. Police apparently hoped to prevent possible Palestinian demonstrations. Gates to the compound known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, were shut this afternoon. The mosque area is located on the site of the second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70 Israel is in overall control of Jerusalem, including the holy sites. Under arrangements dating back to Israel's capture of the area in the 1967 Mideast war, the Waqf, the Muslim religious council, administers the mosque area. Jerusalem police commander Yair Yitzhaki expressed displeasure with the Waqf decision to close the compound. The Waqf issued no statement, but the compound was likely to reopen by Friday noon, the most important Muslim prayer session of the week and the time the sanctuary attracts the largest crowds . Some Jewish extremist groups believe the Al Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques should be razed to make way for the rebuilding of the Temple. But most observant Jews believe the structure will be built only with divine intervention. As part of a semiannual tradition, one extremist group, the Temple Mount Faithful, made an attempt Thursday to enter the gates of the compound on the Ninth of Av, the day marking the destruction of the two ancient temples. Police blocked the 30 demonstrators, including a few American Christian evangelists, who chanted mournful prayers and waved Israeli flags. ``I am here to bless Israel and to support it,'' said Miriam Lee of Buena Vista, Ga. ``According to the Scriptures, this mount is Jewish land.'' Some evangelical Christians believe the rebuilding of the Temple will hasten the Second Coming of Christ. Yitzhaki said the police decided not to let the group onto the Temple Mount after the Kach members distributed the leaflets. Jews are allowed to visit the compound and pray, but only silently and in small groups. The Haram as-Sharif hill overlooks the Western Wall, the holiest site to Jews and the last remnant of the Second Temple compound. Dozens were killed in Israeli-Palestinian clashes in the area in 1990 and 1996 as part of disputes over the holy sites. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Pentagon DISCLAIMER-Tricare: ..homosexuality is OK.
-Caveat Lector- Homosexuality is the organism Human shutting itself down, because the individual parts are too naive and childlike to understand when to stop or control their own expansion. See it, and witness the Builder, and Fear the Builder, because it means business, and its purpose WILL NOT be perverted. You have the church STILL saying no birth control and the upper 1% of the animals human running things for their benefit alone, and all the problems boil down to the fact that we cannot come to grips with our own growth. Overpopulation is not based on available land, it is based on people per sq mile. Many experiments have been done whereby animal species are allowed to procreate blindly in a fixed space with plenty of food and water. The first thing that usually occurs is homosexuality. The second, or alternative, is cannibalism. The population has been allowed to burgeon so that we are that much more easily preyed upon.

Re: [CTRL] IUFO: Asset forfeitures - piracy (fwd)

On 23 Jul 99, at 14:22, Zombie Cow wrote: -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 00:27:07 -0600 From: JIM MEISINGER [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Janet Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Asset forfeitures - piracy Are asset forfeitures penalty -- or piracy? By Frank J. Murray THE WASHINGTON TIMES [Editors Note: This is a law that should be repealed immediately!] Cops and prosecutors call it punishing the crooks when and where they'll feel it most. Lots of other people, honest and law-abiding, call it police piracy. What they're talking about is assets forfeiture, and the practice has left so many horror stories in its wake that dedicated anti-crime lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, are joining a growing movement to clean up the official abuses. Most forfeitures -- by which the government seizes property that officers merely suspect was used in a crime or bought with the loot --never reach the point of criminal charges. Up to 80 percent never go to court. Seized properties range from a doctor's savings to a private prison in Louisiana with all 400 inmates, a Houston hotel, a 4,346-acre Florida ranch, a church's Spanish-language radio station and Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss' $550,000 Beverly Hills mansion. Rep. Henry J. Hyde of Illinois, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, a Republican and a conservative, cited these and other abuses in his testimony to a Senate Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice and oversight in behalf of modifying a 1974 law. Mr. Hyde told the senators it's difficult for him to accept that a law that permits and in fact encourages violations of the rights of innocent citizens could go unchallenged. He entreated the senators to accept the tough reform legislation he steered to overwhelming bipartisan acceptance in the House last month. The attentive subcommittee members agreed with Mr. Hyde's contention the law needs reforming. But they seemed to agree with Deputy Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and other witnesses who testified yesterday that Mr. Hyde's reforms would cripple the cops. The law was designed as a weapon in the war on drugs to collect fancy cars, yachts, airplanes, houses and huge caches of cash. An owner trying to get back property must prove his innocence instead of the government proving guilt, which to many Americans seems to turn the constitutional guarantee of due process on its head. Fewer than 2,500 of the 30,000 property seizures each year are even challenged in court. When the more common civil seizures are challenged, courts routinely acknowledge that constitutional "due process" clauses forbid inordinate delay and demand advance notice and a hearing, except when immediate or "exigent" circumstances apply. This usually means taking on faith the word of the prosecutors. A few such seizures have been overturned on "due process" grounds, but, more commonly, appeals courts accept a government claim of emergency or rule prosecutors' omissions aren't serious enough to require returning seized property. On other constitutional grounds federal courts have ruled: Forfeiture is not "double jeopardy" because it is not "punishment." The Supreme Court said in a different case, however, that seizures of property out of proportion to the offense violate Eighth Amendment guarantees against "excessive fines [or] punishment." The Sixth Amendment right to counsel does not bar seizure of an attorney fee. The Fifth Amendment right to compensation for "takings" doesn't require paying interest when property wrongfully seized is returned after a long court fight. A search and seizure that violates the Fourth Amendment on criminal matters doesn't negate civil seizure of criminal profits. The Hyde legislation, passed overwhelmingly by the House, would drastically shift the balance by requiring return of property without the victim's having to post a bond, appoint lawyers for those who can't pay and place the burden of proof on the government. The Justice Department concedes it should accept the burden of proof if the law is rewritten, but the department doesn't want the law touched because it will make the job of Justice Department lawyers more difficult. Critics of the present system say it is rife with conflicts of interest, including millions of dollars in rewards for tipsters, and gives local and federal officials a motive to split property among themselves. The value of 24,903 seized assets now held by the federal government exceeds $1 billion, including $349 million in cash. State and local seizures often wind up in federal hands to be divvied up with local officials. The Kafka-like stories that impressed the House came from such unlikely people as Nashville gardener Willie Jones, a Malibu millionaire

Date: 7/23/99 3:42:41 PM Central Daylight Time From: AOL News BCC: Ahab42 Farmland Urges Congressional Support of China 'Normal Trade Relations KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 1999--Farmland Industries, Inc. today called on Congress to support continuation of Normal Trade Relations (NTR) with China in a vote scheduled in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, July 27. "Approving extension of normal trade relations with China is one small step that Congress can take to assure that American farmers, who are already under great financial strain, don't suffer further from lost access to this important market," H.D. "Harry" Cleberg, president and chief executive officer of Farmland Industries, Inc., said in a statement issued by the Kansas City-based farmer cooperative. "Feeding a growing world population is central to the economic health of American agriculture, and China -- now our nation's sixth largest trading partner -- is the most important growth market for U.S. agricultural exports in the new century," Cleberg said. "As home to one in every five people in the world, China will account for more than one-third of the near-term future growth in farm exports, but only if we maintain and strengthen trade relations between our countries," he said. China's economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. The country's boom has led to an improvement in nutrition as the population's living standards have grown. And, according to Cleberg, as the country has grown more prosperous, people are adding more meat protein to their diet, creating additional export opportunities for U.S. farmers to help meet that growing demand. China has 20 percent of the world's people, but only six percent of the arable land. "The Chinese must import food to meet demand and if the U.S. doesn't seek that market, the rest of the world certainly will," Cleberg said. Normal trade relations status, previously referred to as "most- favored nation" provides trade parity among countries. The United States grants normal trade relations to every nation that is a member of the World Trade Organization. Because China is not yet a WTO member, it does not receive this status automatically. The President signs a waiver each year granting China normal trade relations. The House vote is on President Clinton's one-year waiver. Farmland Industries is the largest farmer-owned cooperative in North America with 1998 company sales of $8.8 billion in all 50 states and 90 countries. When including Farmland's share of the sales of its affiliated businesses, sales were $11.9 billion. Focused on meeting the needs of its 600,000 farmer-owners in the United States, Canada and Mexico, Farmland is a highly diversified company with major business lines in crop production and crop protection products, livestock feeds, petroleum, grain processing and marketing, and the processing and marketing of pork, beef and catfish products.

The UPI article ALSO states that both WCVB-TV in Boston AND ABC News reported the same CRUCIAL information. Additionally this radio contact by Kennedy has subsequently been confirmed through direct contact with airport personnel. This extremely significant information is what is now MISSING from EVERY SINGLE account of the event now being spewed by the robots in gutless, miserable cloned mass media outlets. THIS CRUCIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PUBLIC RECORD BECAUSE IT UTTERLY INVALIDATES THE OFFICIAL BULLSHIT WE ARE BEEN FORCE-FED ABOUT THE CAUSE OF JFK JR'S DEATH! As I've stated time and again this crucial information PROVES that seconds BEFORE Kennedy's plane went into a headlong dive there was not the SLIGHTEST indication of the much-regurgitated garbage that pilot error and/or mechanical malfunction (other than outright sabotage of a critical component of the aircraft) were responsible for this headlong, full-on nosedive to certain oblivion. NEITHER such fictional pilot error NOR any standard mechanical malfunction could POSSIBLY result in this craft dropping like a rock. Kennedy was at that moment engaged in no unusual or troublesome maneuvers. He had only SECOND BEFORE FINISHED HIS RADIO CALL! He knew EXACTLY where he was not only in relation to the coastline but also to the airport--10 miles from the coast and 13 miles from the airport. What's more, we have received additional confirmation from residents of the Connecticut shore and Martha's Vineyard that visibility was EXCELLENT in the area at this time--from 10 to 12 miles at least. In such conditions it's ludicrous to think the Kennedy would not been able to have seen at LEAST the GLOW from the many lights in the well-populated Martha's Vineyard area at the distance he was, and thus have been thoroughly able to distinguish direction in all senses of the word (altitude). The ongoing disinformation about poor visibility being the reason such an inexperienced pilot (which he was NOT!) would get completely discombobulated and fly into the sea is completely unfounded in fact. The guy was hardly hundreds of miles out over the middle of the Atlantic. Why then would he decide to land in the sea if he knew where he was in relation to the land? Please... spare me. Here is the pertinent text from about halfway through the UPI article. This is the TRUTH... BEFORE the spin-doctors and manipulators got to work. "At 9:39 p.m. Friday, Kennedy radioed the airport and said he was 13 miles from the airport and 10 miles from the coast, according to WCVB-TV news in Boston. He reportedly said he was making his final approach. "Moments later, radar operated by the Federal Aviation Administration showed the plane went into a dive and dropped 1,200 feet in just 12 seconds, according to ABC News. "In his final approach message, WCVB-TV said Kennedy told controllers at the airport that he planned to drop off his wife's sister and then take off again between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. for Hyannis Airport."

"A reporter for the Vineyard Gazette newspaper told WCVB-TV in Boston that he was out walking Friday night about the time of the crash and saw "big white flash in the sky" off Philbin Beach." A report from about 3 PM on Saturday by Shephard Smith of FOX-TV named another 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.

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 from Long Island to Martha's Vineyard after debris and luggage washed ashore on Philbin Beach. Jones said the Coast Guard was notified about the missing plane at around 3 a.m. EDT, and the search started immediately. About 15 Coast Guard and Air Force aircraft and some 150 personnel joined in the search. Kennedy, a licensed private pilot, was expected to arrive at Martha's
[CTRL] More military police powers?
-Caveat Lector- More military police powers? Defense bill seeks to end prior restrictions By Jon E. Dougherty © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Under the auspices of combating illegal drugs, guarding borders and preventing terrorism, new provisions in the House and Senate Defense Appropriations Bills seek to increase the use of the U.S. military in domestic law enforcement. According to sources, the bill would end the requirement for local law agencies to reimburse the federal government for any local use of military equipment, as well as enable the Department of Defense to deploy military troops in cases of anticipated or actual terrorist attacks. Dave Kopel of the Independence Institute said both houses of Congress contained provisions and amendments that would, if passed, "set precedents for years to come." For example, one provision would remove the requirement for local law enforcement agencies to reimburse the DOD for use of military resources, at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense. "That is currently the main practical check on the use of military equipment by local police," Kopel told WorldNetDaily. He added that he is worried about an overall growth in the federal government's "tendency to militarize local police officers." Kopel said the precedent for government's current fixation on more dramatic use of the military as law enforcement personnel has its roots in Waco, Texas. There, in 1993, some 83 members of a religious group known as the Branch Davidians and their leader, David Koresh, died when a fire engulfed their community, allegedly because armored military vehicles ignited kerosene lanterns when making a forced entry. Since then, Kopel said, the federal government has been "eroding the protections contained in the Posse Comitatus Act" -- a law that prevents most uses of the military in civilian law enforcement application. In the past, he added, most of the amendments to the original law had been based on bogus drug issues. Tim Lynch, a spokesman for The CATO Institute, confirmed the provision, and told WorldNetDaily he believes it is a precursor to end the strict limitations on civilian law enforcement use of military assets and personnel. He added that the measure had not yet passed into law, but said he fears "it is a certainty." "Not too many people are talking about it, not many are objecting to it and it looks like it's just going to sail through," he said. "That concerns us." Lynch said it was "odd" that this measure was added to a defense appropriations bill that would include "the last six months of this year." "Our fear is that, OK, when next year comes along, will this protection go away altogether," he said. "We definitely don't want to see that." On another front, Kopel told WorldNetDaily the House of Representatives voted in June to allow the military to "directly take over border patrol duties." The measure, which was originally introduced as H.R. 628 by Ohio Democrat James Traficant in February, is now being considered as part of the total Defense Authorization Bill for FY 2000. Mr. Traficant's office did not return phone calls to WorldNetDaily. However, a spokesman for Rep. Floyd Spence, R-S.C., Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, confirmed Mr. Traficant's legislation was passed by the House and is currently being considered in a joint House-Senate conference committee. "The (Traficant) amendment passed by a margin of 242-181," the spokesman said. Specifically, the Traficant amendment would amend Title 10, United States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Defense to assign members of the Armed Forces, "under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, to assist the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the United States Customs Service in the performance of border protection functions." If passed the measure would allow military personnel to assist the Border Patrol in curbing illegal immigration by "preventing entry into the U.S." The bill also gives the military the authority to prevent entry of "drug traffickers and terrorists," and would allow military inspections of "cargo, vehicles, and aircraft at points of entry into the U.S." Gregory Nojeim, Legislative Counsel for the Washington, D.C., chapter of the ACLU, said the sum total of the new military roles in civilian law enforcement would eventually destroy "what was left of" the Posse Comitatus Act. "These provisions ... will blow a hole in Posse Comitatus large enough to drive a thousand tanks onto our city streets," he told WorldNetDaily. Nojeim said he is most concerned about language in the bill that gives much more arbitrary judgement on the potential conditions in which the military could be used in the hands of the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury. For example, Section 1067 of S. 1059, the Senate version of the appropriations bill,

He stood there as the flag-draped coffin of his father was slowly drawn past. His only son watching the funeral of John F. Kennedy, assassinated 35th president of the United States. He knew as he grew up that it was his mother's wish that for their safety, no statements be made by them contradicting the big lie of the government, that a "lone assassin" blew out the brains of his father, right in front of numerous witnesses. Thereafter, dozens, if not hundreds of material witnesses were themselves murdered, such as the CIA patsy, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Oswald's murderer, Jack Ruby, and a long list. John F. Kennedy,Jr. knew that dark forces opposed the terrible truth. His father was ouraged on going along with a disaster shortly after taking office. The Bay of Pigs fiasco, April,1961. President Kennedy fired Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles who reportedly muttered under his breath to JFK, "Traitor". Was there justification for political murder and if so, when,if ever, will the high-level forces go "public"? The President vowed to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the wind. Too many assassination researchers are busy writing and selling books with conspiracy theories, and videos of the same, or setting up paid lectures and seminars, to go beyond describing what took place in Dealey Plaza. As a non-commercial assassination researcher, when I come to some political assassination seminars I am appalled how I am treated by supposed friends and acquaintances. They hoot and heckle me when I try to ask a question beyond which way the bullets went in Dealey Plaza. When I discuss the rationale of the ultra-rich for this bloody deed: 1. Such as John F. Kennedy and his friend, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., were closet communists, at least the FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and various Directors of CIA believed that. 2. Although Kennedy once explained he was only nominally a Catholic, there were the controllers of America, if not the world, who believed the U.S. should not have a Catholic President. That has been the prevailing view from the downfall of Al Smith as presidential candidate in the 1920s to this very day. And the same forces opposed Jews on the U.S. Supreme Court and the two that did somehow get on the high court after World War Two who were removed. Justice Abe Fortas was removed by a trumped up scandal. Justice Arthur Goldberg was arm-twisted into resigning from the high court and serving instead on the United Nations. They were perceived as making too "liberal" decisions for the common man. 3. Those who call the shots, who govern us NOT by the consent of the governed, were and are afraid of the Vatican connection. Such thinking was involved in blaming certain factions centuries ago for the Gunpowder Plot in England and the period of great bloodshed with Oliver Cromwell. 4. The strongest justification for blowing out Kennedy's brains in an open car was that his his charm and language, he was causing a bad psychological view to sweep the great unwashed of America: that the era of the common man has arrived, a dangerous and seditious idea to those who rule by deceit and trickery while promising ordinary people a so-called "Bill of Rights". Some loudmouths proclaim a new "Bill of Rights" is needed to smash the "Bill of Wrongs". In federal courts, long-dominated from the early years of this nation by multi-millionaire banker-judges, the U.S. Constitution too often is a mirage and a dead letter.

Pt.3 By Sherman H. Skolnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7-22-99 Golden Boy Pt 1 Golden Boy Pt 2 It may take weeks if not months, before the possibility of foul play is clear in the demise of John F. Kennedy, Jr. The government authorities, of course, like in the case of TWA Flight 800, exactly three years previous, are disregarding the statements of credible witnesses, such as, that a white flash was seen near where Junior's plane was presumed to be and that some kind of a projectile streamed up to the plane. The disappearance or concealment of pertinent records are also to be considered. A few seconds after he identified himself to the tower of the airfield where he intended to land, his plane dropped in excess of 6 thousand feet per minute. Did something hit his plane after positive identification once he went on the radio with his ID? Weather radar reports for the time and zone reportedly have disappeared as have satellite imaging for that time and zone of the East coast. The super-secret National Reconnaissance Office, NRO, is in charge of satellites. A key figure in their imaging program, Daniel Potter, was murdered in an unsolved crime, March, 1998. Why? He reportedly was going to go public with images showing that the already dead body of Clinton White House Deputy Counsel, Vincent W. Foster, Jr., was moved from near the White House and planted next to a cannon in the Civil War-era zone called Fort Marcy Park,Virginia. That would contradict the official government big lie that he committed suicide in that park. The murder of Potter, of course, wa a warning to knowledgeable satellite folks to SHUT UP. AMONG THE MOTIVES FOR FOUL PLAY: 1. John F. Kennedy, Jr., unlike other members of his family was unscarred by scandal. He planned to reveal a well-kept secret that on or about August 1, 1999, he was to announce he was running for president, as a traditional Democrat or in view of the distrust of both parties, to run as a independent on a third party ticket. Gore's people had asked him if he would run as second fiddle on the Gore presidential ticket. He said he originally thought to run against Hillary Clinton for U.S. Senator from New York but decided instead to run for President. So the secret somehow got out and the Bush family found out. As we showed in earlier stories, the Bush family had an interest to clear off the field of competitors, by the attempted assassination over Chicago of Gore[7/9/99] and apparently succeeding with Junior[7/16/99]. 2. Kennedy had been the publisher of George Magazine. Despite having a circulation base of 400,000, it was not getting a good buck for its advertisements. The parent firm of George Magazine is Hachette, a French firm that also owns several other magazines in the U.S. One of the largest owners of Hachette has been Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi strongman. Saddam is also the major owner of the French firm Matra, that owns and operates the baggage and passenger system at O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, called the "people mover system". The city official in charge of the airport showed no concern of this when we interviewed her on tape. So what is all this talk about safeguards against "airport terrorism" and all thatwhen a media-described so-called "terrorist" is the owner of the key system at one of the nation's largest airports? 3. Confidants of Junior were aware of his plan, after the expected reported close-up of George Magazine, to finger a dirty deal he knew about between George Herbert Walker Bush, once U.S. president, and Saddam Hussein. Some of the details of that: During the period of "Desert Shield", prior to the actual shooting by the U.S. in the Persian Gulf, started an important yet unpublicized case

Pt.2 By Sherman H. Skolnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7-20-99 Golden Boy Pt 1 Golden Boy Pt 3 The Plot Against Albert Gore, Jr, and John F. Kennedy, Jr. History will probably record that there were two important Fridays in July, 1999. Here are some details necessary to understand the subject matter: 1. Not widely understood by many, the former U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush has been closely aligned in espionage and finance with William Rockefeller Clinton. In other articles, I havve raised the issue that Clinton is the illegitimate great grandson of John D. Rockefeller, founder of what some call the infamous Standard Oil Trust. From time to time, Clinton has visited at George's compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. The two of them, jointly with Ollie North, were instrumental in the CIA's operations in the southern states. Such as, guns to the Contras in Nicaragua, and return flights of dope and other contraband through CIA's operations at the small airport in western Arkansas, at Mena. The ethnic Chinese, the Riady family, reportedly bought the tiny First National Bank of Mena, for the purpose s of laundering the proceeds from the dope traffic up through the markets in Chicago. A transit point was reportedly Garfield Ridge Trust Savings Bank, a small closely held enterprise owned by apparent criminals in the Bankruptcy Court rackets in Chicago, jointly with Cong. Dan Rostenkowski and one of Hillary Clinton's brothers. Now a defrocked lawmaker and ex-convict, Rosty as he is called was instrumental in doing tax-evasion favors for the money laundry underworld in the Chicago markets as well as part of the aid to Bill, George, and Ollie. According to published accounts, two of Rosty's daughters have been well-paid employes on the Chicago exchanges but reportedly seldom seen on duty there. Few have raised the questions: Their great fortune reportedly based on worldwide dope traffic and such, big banking through their Lippo Group, why did the Riadys buy a tiny bank in forested western Arkansas? 2. Joining this operation in 1991 was Chicagoan RAHM EMANUEL, an adjunct to covert operations of the American CIA. Trained in espionage and bloody tricks reportedly in Israel, Rahm was no stranger to political assassinations. His father was ostensibly part of the team that assassinated in 1948, UN Advisor from Sweden, Count Bernadotte, in the Palestine Partition controvery that led up to the formation of the State of Israel. Rahm moved to Arkansas for the 1992 Presidential election. He was reputedly an expert in raising campaign funds by extortion and blackmail. He helped jump-start Clinton's presidential campaign with 3 millions dollars that Rahm quickly obtained from a corrupt deal. Calling him a fixer, the Chicago Tribune refers in their Sunday Magazine 11/23/97, page 34 to the three million dollars without calling it as it was, corrupt. This was linked by our documents and research as follows: 58.4 million dollars was parked by a federal agency with Household International and Household Bank. The operation was the successor and alter ego of the defunct CIA proprietary, Nugan Hand Bank. [As to Nugan Hand and CIA, see: "The Crimes of Patriots" by Jonathan Kwitny.] General counsel of Nugan Hand was former Director of Central Intelligence William Colby, also having the same position, unlisted, with Household. Many related details and operations led to the murder of Colby in 1996 disguised as a "boating accident". Colby was assisting a small group of admirals and generals, which I have written about exclusively that have vainly sought since 1995, under the Military Code, to arrest Commander-in-Chief Clinto for treason with the Red Chinese. The funds were parked to make good the

He was horrified. People DIED! He said. You don't know your government very well do you? I said. I elucidated so: Official rationale being that they are saving 1 with each single death. And lets face it, if you had to make that choice what would you do? Although I believe their reasoning is convoluted and profit driven, more than humanitarian. The only thing that has kept things going THIS far is the lock on our minds through bad information, controlled media, and the people at the top, real and remorseless killers (They did not get there by being nice) will do anything possible to keep that advantage intact. There seems to be a thread of these "Anniversary" happenings since 1992 or so, and the ensuing drama, to those trained or accustomed to look for it, is just blatant and base distraction. While the public is thus distracted, you should see what is going on in the background! There are revelations being made daily during these times of crisis that NEVER EVER stand a chance of making mainstream, or so it is hoped by the true power mongers, but their whole structure is weakening, and though the birth has been difficult, each subsequent horrifying episode weakens the hold of media on the people, and enforces the power of the Truth. One thing is sure. Things in general are no where near what they seem to be.

The UPI article ALSO states that both WCVB-TV in Boston AND ABC News reported the same CRUCIAL information. Additionally this radio contact by Kennedy has subsequently been confirmed through direct contact with airport personnel. This extremely significant information is what is now MISSING from EVERY SINGLE account of the event now being spewed by the robots in gutless, miserable cloned mass media outlets. THIS CRUCIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PUBLIC RECORD BECAUSE IT UTTERLY INVALIDATES THE OFFICIAL BULLSHIT WE ARE BEEN FORCE-FED ABOUT THE CAUSE OF JFK JR'S DEATH! As I've stated time and again this crucial information PROVES that seconds BEFORE Kennedy's plane went into a headlong dive there was not the SLIGHTEST indication of the much-regurgitated garbage that pilot error and/or mechanical malfunction (other than outright sabotage of a critical component of the aircraft) were responsible for this headlong, full-on nosedive to certain oblivion. NEITHER such fictional pilot error NOR any standard mechanical malfunction could POSSIBLY result in this craft dropping like a rock. Kennedy was at that moment engaged in no unusual or troublesome maneuvers. He had only SECOND BEFORE FINISHED HIS RADIO CALL! He knew EXACTLY where he was not only in relation to the coastline but also to the airport--10 miles from the coast and 13 miles from the airport. What's more, we have received additional confirmation from residents of the Connecticut shore and Martha's Vineyard that visibility was EXCELLENT in the area at this time--from 10 to 12 miles at least. In such conditions it's ludicrous to think the Kennedy would not been able to have seen at LEAST the GLOW from the many lights in the well-populated Martha's Vineyard area at the distance he was, and thus have been thoroughly able to distinguish direction in all senses of the word (altitude). The ongoing disinformation about poor visibility being the reason such an inexperienced pilot (which he was NOT!) would get completely discombobulated and fly into the sea is completely unfounded in fact. The guy was hardly hundreds of miles out over the middle of the Atlantic. Why then would he decide to land in the sea if he knew where he was in relation to the land? Please... spare me.

'Cherchez la femme' -- 'Seek the woman' -- is an axiom that has been followed successfully in tracking criminals in many cases.

O'Connell, Funk and Wagnalls, 1935, p.35. By any account, John F. Kennedy Jr. possessed the necessary name recognition -- the political capital of our day -- to mount a serious race for high-level political office. Media reports following his demise in a small plane crash indicate that he had already made "discrete inquiries" regarding that possibility. In an age devoid of popular leaders, one could safely suggest that JFK Jr. would have been an electoral "shoo-in" for any number of offices. Maybe even for the U.S. Senate seat in New York State: the subject of his discrete inquiries. Air travel has most assuredly changed the way we live. It has also changed the way we die. Nearly a dozen years ago, on July 16, 1987, a low-level CIA operative involved in arming the Nicaraguan Contras, climbed into a small plane with a Jewish man he knew as Max Weber. "I don't trust these little airplanes, I'm sorry it's, how do you say, a phobia," Weber told Terry Reed (Compromised: Clinton, Bush, and the CIA, by Terry Reed and John Cummings, S.P.I. books, New York, 1994). Mr. Reed's account of how the CIA's aircraft returning from Nicaragua began carrying drugs into Mena, Ark., is a fascinating excursion, but it's not our destination today. Yet even as Congress was revving up to impeach Ronald Reagan for the scandal that Reed asserts George Bush was running, and then-Gov. Bill Clinton skimming profits from, Max Weber offered this observation: We don't think your country has a democracy any longer. ... We think your country has had a very quiet, internal coup. Look at the evidence, it's all there (p.359). As the pair discussed that evidence, the impending death of Soviet communism, and the geo-political balance of power, Weber offered: Think about China. ... Who will replace the USSR as the power base of all of Asia if Russia collapses? China will (p.360). Their conversation at 13,000 feet was the last the two men ever had with one another. They landed safely that day. But one week after the election of President George Bush in November of 1988, Max Weber -- also known as Amiram Nir, the Israeli Prime Minister's advisor on combating terrorism -- died over Mexico in a crash aboard one of the "little airplanes" he so feared. One never knows, of course. Accidents happen. Equipment malfunctions. Pilots make mistakes. But more sinister things also happen. Explosives are sometimes planted on aircraft. Luggage can house a bomb. Instruments and fuel can be tampered with. Missiles home in on their targets. JFK Jr. radioed the airport at Martha's Vineyard at 9:39 p.m. on Friday, July 16, for his final approach. He told the control tower operator that he was 13 miles from the airport and ten miles from the coast. Triangulation would give a rough location of the aircraft. "Moments later, radar operated by the Federal Aviation Administration showed the plane went into a dive and dropped 1,200 feet in just 12 seconds," ABC news reported. "A reporter for the Vineyard Gazette newspaper told WCVB-TV in Boston that he was out walking Friday night about the time of the crash and saw a 'big white flash in the sky' off Philbin Beach," UPI reported. Visibility was eight miles, adequate for landing visually. But, as JFK Jr. himself reported, he was 10 miles from the coast -- too distant for the reporter's unaided eyesight to recognize more than a "big white flash in the sky." UPI said that "Kennedy did not file a flight plan." Like his inquiries into the U.S. Senate race in New York, it seems JFK Jr. liked to keep his whereabouts discrete. Pity, that like the American B-52 pilots who triangulated themselves for the North Vietnamese communists with their call signs and landmarks during the war, and never made it home, JFK Jr. didn't fly quite far

[CTRL] Fwd: ACLU ACTION UPDATE; Protect Your Data Privacy!
TO: ACLU Action Network FR: Bob Kearney, ACLU Field Director DT: June 18, 1999 After months of much talk and little action, Congress will soon vote on several critical privacy issues. As you will see below, we are closely monitoring developments on the protection of financial and medical records and the security of information we give to obtain a driver's license. 1. Financial Records Privacy Public outrage at the erosion of data privacy has reached new highs. Yet at this very moment, Congress is poised to miss an opportunity to improve the privacy of our financial records! On July 1st, the House of Representatives passed HR 10, a financial services bill that fails to adequately protect financial privacy. At the same time the bill removes the legal walls that currently separate banks, securities firms and insurance companies, it fails to replace those walls with privacy protections to allow people to control the flow of personal information they submit to their bank or insurance company. This bill must be reconciled with a Senate version of the legislation. Please urge your members of Congress to push for real protections before it is too late! TAKE ACTION! See the list of protections that the ACLU is recommending to Congress, and send a FREE FAX that you can personalize to your member of Congress, from our action alert at: http://www.aclu.org/action/finprivacyhr10106.html 2. Medical Privacy Also contained in HR 10 is an amendment offered by Congressman Grag Ganske (R-IA) that purports to protect medical privacy. But this provision includes a laundry list of exceptions that will leave patients with virtually no protections for their medical records. In fact, the Ganske amendment actually offers weaker protections for medical records than current law! TAKE ACTION! Join the ACLU, the American Association of Retired Persons and more than 40 physicians' and patients' groups in opposing this provision. Tell Congress to reject this last minute attempt by the insurance industry to end-run the August 1999 deadline for new privacy rules. Our action alert with talking points and a FREE FAX you can send to Congress opposing this bill are on the ACLU website at: http://www.aclu.org/action/medprivacyganske106.html 3. Drivers' Information Alarmed by recent stories of the misuse of drivers' information, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) included privacy protection language in this year's federal transportation spending legislation (S. 1143). Section 339 of the bill would return to drivers control over the personal information they disclose to get a driver's license. It would prohibit the federal government from giving highway money to states that peddle drivers' images and personal information without the consent of the driver. Law enforcement agencies would be exempt from the provision. Shelby's initiative has prompted an intense lobbying campaign by the Direct Marketing Association, which wants the language seriously weakened or removed entirely. The Shelby measure can be preserved only through an equally intense wave of public protest, raising the visibility of this issue among Senators who may soon be voting on the bill. TAKE ACTION!

It should be those who are desseminating this story regarding the supposed flash seen by the supposed reporter who should be calling the Gazette to find out the name of this reporter, and perhaps get a FIRST HAND account of what he claims he saw, instead of depending on 3rd hand hearsay that would be inadmissable as evidence in a court of law Jamie Gaspar, spokesman for Martha's Vineyard Airport, told UPI that "someone was at the airport to pick up the passengers on the plane, but it never arrived." Again, why wasn't the alert raised THEN? I find it very suspicious...first, that a reporter would conveniently be in the area to witness this, and yet no one else in the area seems to have noticed it "Reportedly," at least four other people also DID notice; they "SAW and HEARD an explosion in the air" : Reported by whom? Why don't we have the NAMES of these 4 people? Why haven't we seen them on the media, giving their version of what they claim to have seen... Again, these supposed witnesses are only told about in what can be described as second-hand, if not third-hand, accounts -- legally, hearsay, and would be inadmissable as evidence in a court of law. Several local news reports Where we are conveniently never given the names of these media outlets... initially (reported) that several people Who are conveniently never named. Hearsay. One would think that the Martha's Vineyard air control personnel would have taken notice of a bright flash, especially when Kennedy's plane didn't land The airport may not be near that part of the island... The island's not all that big...and one would think the air control tower would have a 360 degree view Also doesn't explain why the one verified witness, who HAS been named (altho I don't have the New York TImes article at hand), saw no flash but DID report seeing the plane disappear without a sound... Was the fisherman near Philbin Beach, or on the other side of the island ? He apparantly was near enough to the airport to state the plane was coming from a direction commonly used by pilots who missed their first approach and circle around to make another approach...he saw the plane after it was finishing a curved direction and straightened out, and it was shortly thereafter that he says that it 'disappeared'... So one would presume he was fairly close to the airport if the plane's direction straightened out in anticipation of making a 2nd landing approach Did he specify the exact time of his sighting ? I believe he stated it was around 9:40, but the NYT article would have the details...unfortunately, I'm currently without a web browser, so I don't know if they have it online or not... But this is moot, if the report of a flash is blatant disinformation, and never happened... Did he see a different plane - and not the Kennedy plane? Without time and location specifics, this report is not useful. He was in the vacinity of the airport at the general time Kennedy was due to land. That doesn't prove that the plane he saw was Kennedy's, but his account remains the one that has the most validity, because it was reported on in the first hours of the search and rescue and his name is given in the NYT article... So his is a firsthand account, which WOULD be admissable as evidence in a court of law, while the flash of light version is inadmissable hearsay... The currently- alleged crash site, and radar results, indicate Kennedy NEVER reached the island, and therefore the reports of appearing to "circle for a second landing attempt" may possibly be either bogus, or referring to a different plane. Or perhaps the alleged crash site and radar results are what are indeed 'bogus'...after all, it took them a day and a half to come up with this radar which they're presenting to the public as 'this shows Kennedy's plane'...no, it is radar of A plane, possibly Kennedy's, possibly someone else's, possibly radar tapes created from whole cloth... What they can't explain away is that if they had these radar tapes Saturday morning, why were we being told at that time that searchers had no idea WHERE Kennedy went down, and so were conducting a search that included all of Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic south of Long Island ranging westwards back to NJ? Also, perhaps the "circling plane" was an "attack craft" (possibly a Piper Saratoga, also) -- which was

-Caveat Lector- KARABAKH, ABKHAZIA WHERE NEXT FOR NATO? "Kosovo may become a next step in the evolution of a new European or even international order" Michael Lemmon, US Ambassador to Armenia, April 1999. It would have been unthinkable even a year ago to imagine the NATO alliance calling the shots in the former Soviet Union. But that may very well soon be the case. The Caucasus region seems to be bubbling up with many of the ingredients which led to the Kosovo conflict plus oil. This report consist of the following three chapters: Introduction Armenia and Karabakh Georgia and Abkhazia First published: 19 June 1999 The publications of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group do not express a corporate view. The Group is, however, grateful to the authors of its reports. Any views or recommendations expressed in the Group's reports are those of their authors alone. KARABAKH, ABKHAZIA WHERE NEXT FOR NATO? It would have been unthinkable even a year ago to imagine the NATO alliance calling the shots in the former Soviet Union. But that may very well soon be the case. The Caucasus region seems to be bubbling up with many of the ingredients which led to the Kosovo conflict plus oil. From the early 1990s, Western businessmen led by the US have invested billions of dollars in oil and gas exploration projects in the Caspian Sea and Central Asia. However, the way these resources reach Western markets has still not been satisfactorily solved. As well as the decrepit state of post-Soviet infrastructure, there are unresolved political problems in the Caucasus region. Separatist movements in Georgia and a dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the status of the break-away region of Nagorno-Karabakh have made the choice of a route for pipelines to carry oil and gas to Western markets extremely problematic. Even though American relations with Iran have thawed somewhat recently, an Iranian route is still regarded as taboo by Washington. At the moment oil reaches the West via the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline in Russia and the Baku- Supsa route via Georgia. But these are not ideal solutions: an explosion ruptured the Novorossiysk pipeline on 14th June and it was closed down. Supsa is a small-scale operation and can only cope with c.10% of expected capacity at the moment. The plan to construct a pipeline to pump oil from Baku to the Turkish port of Ceyhan in Turkey has hit many obstacles, including money. One reason why these projects are so unsatisfactory and why the costing is even more prohibitive than it need be is that they have to give Armenia a wide berth. Unlike the other Caucasian republics, Armenia has shown no desire to join NATO (apart from some participation in partnership for peace projects). It houses several large Russian military bases and recently updated its missile systems and took delivery of advanced jet fighters. It is widely accepted that Armenia came out of the war with neighbouring Azerbaijan in 1994 as the victor because it was supported by the Russians. Since then Armenia has been Russias closest military ally in the region. Neighbouring Georgia and Azerbaijan have followed a very different path. With Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Moldova they have opted out of the CIS security pact and formed a joint security alliance known as GUUAM. GUUAMs founding charter pledges military cooperation within the group and also with NATO. At the same time both Azerbaijan and Georgia have taken steps to bring themselves closer to NATO itself. On 30th May Georgia became an associated member of the NATO parliamentary assembly and on 31st May Azerbaijan gained the less prestigious position of observer status. Azerbaijan has been asking for NATO membership for some time and some commentators say that a US military presence in Azerbaijan is inevitable. On 14th June, 1999 fighting broke our between the forces of the breakaway republic of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan for the first time since 1997. Each side blamed the other and, indeed, the incident may be no more than one of many skirmishes that have occurred since a cease-fire in 1994. Meanwhile, in early June Georgian and Abkhaz officials met in Istanbul to try to find a way out of the impasse that has existed there since 1993. There are signs that attempts may be underway to solve the smouldering problems of the Caucasus region once and for all the US ambassador at large and special advisor to the Secretary of State for the newly independent states, Stephen Sestanovich, visited the Caucasus in May to set out the USs position. But, while Georgia and Azerbaijan may be amenable to the Wests blandishments how can Armenia be brought on board without creating a confrontation with Russia? Armenia and Karabakh Negotiations over the status of Nagorno-Karabakh have been held sporadically since 1994 under the aegis of the OSCEs Minsk process. Co-chaired by

The UPI article ALSO states that both WCVB-TV in Boston AND ABC News reported the same CRUCIAL information. Additionally this radio contact by Kennedy has subsequently been confirmed through direct contact with airport personnel. This extremely significant information is what is now MISSING from EVERY SINGLE account of the event now being spewed by the robots in gutless, miserable cloned mass media outlets. THIS CRUCIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PUBLIC RECORD BECAUSE IT UTTERLY INVALIDATES THE OFFICIAL BULLSHIT WE ARE BEEN FORCE-FED ABOUT THE CAUSE OF JFK JR'S DEATH+ACE- As I've stated time and again this crucial information PROVES that seconds BEFORE Kennedy's plane went into a headlong dive there was not the SLIGHTEST indication of the much-regurgitated garbage that pilot error and/or mechanical malfunction (other than outright sabotage of a critical component of the aircraft) were responsible for this headlong, full-on nosedive to certain oblivion. NEITHER such fictional pilot error NOR any standard mechanical malfunction could POSSIBLY result in this craft dropping like a rock. Kennedy was at that moment engaged in no unusual or troublesome maneuvers. He had only SECOND BEFORE FINISHED HIS RADIO CALL+ACE- He knew EXACTLY where he was not only in relation to the coastline but also to the airport--10 miles from the coast and 13 miles from the airport. What's more, we have received additional confirmation from residents of the Connecticut shore and Martha's Vineyard that visibility was EXCELLENT in the area at this time--from 10 to 12 miles at least. In such conditions it's ludicrous to think the Kennedy would not been able to have seen at LEAST the GLOW from the many lights in the well-populated Martha's Vineyard area at the distance he was, and thus have been thoroughly able to distinguish direction in all senses of the word (altitude). The ongoing disinformation about poor visibility being the reason such an inexperienced pilot (which he was NOT+ACE-) would get completely discombobulated and fly into the sea is completely unfounded in fact. The guy was hardly hundreds of miles out over the middle of the Atlantic. Why then would he decide to land in the sea if he knew where he was in relation to the land? Please... spare me. Here is the pertinent text from about halfway through the UPI article. This is the TRUTH... BEFORE the spin-doctors and manipulators got to work. +ACI-At 9:39 p.m. Friday, Kennedy radioed the airport and said he was 13 miles from the airport and 10 miles from the coast, according to WCVB-TV news in Boston. He reportedly said he was making his final approach. +ACI-Moments later, radar operated by the Federal Aviation Administration showed the plane went into a dive and dropped 1,200 feet in just 12 seconds, according to ABC News. +ACI-In his final approach message, WCVB-TV said Kennedy told controllers at the airport that he planned to drop off his wife's sister and then take off again between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. for Hyannis Airport.+ACI- Other CRUCIAL information which has now been removed from all official accounts is the fact that a NUMBER of witnesses on the beach at Martha's Vineyard that evening INCLUDING a Vineyard Gazette reporter saw an AIRBORNE explosion at this same time right in that area of the sky where Kennedy was flying. I quote here the relevant text from the UPI article. +ACI-A reporter for the Vineyard Gazette newspaper told WCVB-TV in Boston that he was out walking Friday night about the time of the crash and saw +ACI-big white flash in the sky+ACI- off Philbin Beach.+ACI- A report from about 3 PM on Saturday by Shephard Smith of FOX-TV named another 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. Every single flight instructor Kennedy ever had as well as other first-hand witnesses describe Kennedy as an extremely cautious and safety minded pilot. He also had HUNDREDS of hours of experience, NOT one hundred.

Editorial
Kosovo: The New World Army Evolves
Daniel D. New
Based upon the precedent of Macedonia, and the lack of Congressional
backbone to stop the placement of American troops under foreign officers,
the New World Army is becoming a reality.
When Army Specialist Michael New refused to wear a United Nations uniform
and serve under a general from Finland, his attorneys pointed out that the
precedent would lead to more deployments based upon the Globalist Agenda of
George Bush and Bill Clinton.
The House of Representatives, perhaps because they are closer to the pulse
of the People, actually passed legislation in 1996 to forbid the forced
deployment of American troops under the United Nations. (HR2540, Tom
DeLay). The bill never came out of Senate committee. But time has passed
and like our society at large, the attention span of Congress is short and
there are matters more pressing.
In 1812-14 we fought a war with Great Britain over the issue of His
Majesty's Ships pressing American citizens into service in the Royal
Navy. We considered our citizenship as sacred, and as an issue of
sovereignty. We argued, at the point of cannon and sword, that no nation
could impress the citizens of another nation into service against their
will that such was a return to feudalism. Washington was burned, but we
won the war and sovereignty was maintained. For a while.
How ironic that in Kosovo, American citizens will be forced to serve under
British soldiers, against their will, this time ordered there by an
American President!
At issue is not the quality of the British officer in question. He's no
doubt a gentleman and a fine officer. The entire issue is whether it is
legal, whether it is lawful, and if so, whether American citizens are no
longer sovereigns. Is the "Grand Experiment" in self government
expired? Many say this is the end of the Republic, and they may well be
right.
When Americans are forced to bear arms in a conflict not their own, they
are turned into involuntary mercenaries. No semantic smokescreen can make
it anything else.
When a soldier accepts extra pay for the hazardous duty of serving a
foreign power, under foreign officers, he becomes a voluntary
mercenary. Let's start calling a spade a spade.
When Congress abrogates its responsibility to control the military
involvement of this country, as clearly stated in the Constitution, it has
thrown in the towel and is no longer functioning as intended by the
Framers. Only Congress can declare war. George Bush broke the law, but
appealed to what he maintained was a higher law the United Nations when
he illegally defended Kuwait. At least he acted under color of law.
Bill Clinton has built upon the Bush legacy of internationalization of our
military by telling Congress AND the United Nations that he will do as he
pleases, that he does not need either of them, and Madelaine Albright has
the temerity to boldly proclaim the grand lie that the President is acting
with Constitutional authority.
The only authority he has, if any, for these acts of treason must be found
in Presidential Decision Directive #25, a top-secret document that even
your Congressman is not allowed to read! This is the document whereby the
president has authorized himself (!) to ignore Congress, ignore the
Constitution, and to place our soldiers wherever he feels they are most
needed.
Bill Clinton is a rogue head of state. He is acting without any authority
whatsoever. He is committing impeachable offenses at an ever-increasing
pace, now that the Senate has capitulated and strangled on phony polls and
public opinion rather than their sworn constitutional duty. The age-old
struggle of Rex Lex has once again prevailed over Lex Rex. ("The King is
over the Law" vs. "The Law is over the King.")
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the
governed. (Have you heard this somewhere before?) Whenever any government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter
or abolish it.

Food for thought...
Amerika, Amerika
by Claire Wolfe
Let me run by you a brief list of items that are "the law" in America today.
As you read, consider what all these have in common.
1. A national database of employed people.
2. 100 pages of new "health care crimes," for which the penalty is (among
other things) seizure of assets from both doctors and patients.
3. Confiscation of assets from any American who establishes foreign
citizenship.
4. The largest gun confiscation act in U.S. history - which is also an
unconstitutional ex postfacto law and the first law ever to remove people's
constitutional rights for committing a misdemeanor.
5. A law banning guns in ill-defined school zones; random roadblocks may be
used for enforcement; gun-bearing residents could become federal criminals
just by stepping outside their doors or getting into vehicles.
6. Increased funding for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, an
agency infamous for its brutality, dishonesty and ineptitude.
7. A law enabling the executive branch to declare various groups "Terrorists"
- without stating any reason and without the possibility of appeal. Once a
group has been so declared, its mailing and membership lists must be turned
over to the government.
8. A law authorizing secret trials with secret evidence for certain classes
of people.
9. A law requiring that all states begin issuing drivers licenses carrying
Social Security numbers and "security features" (such as magnetically coded
fingerprints and personal records) by October 1, 2000. By October 1, 2006,
"Neither the Social Security Administration or the Passport Office or any
other Federal agency or any State or local government agency may accept for
any evidentiary purpose a State driver's license or identification document
in a form other than [one issued with a verified Social Security number and
'security features']."
10. And my personal favorite - a national database, now being constructed,
that will contain every exchange and observation that takes place in your
doctor's office. This includes records of your prescriptions, your
hemorrhoids and your mental illness. It also includes - by law - any
statements you make ("Doc, I'm worried my kid may be on drugs Doc, I've
been so stressed out lately I feel about ready to go postal.") and any
observations your doctor makes about your mental or physical condition,
whether accurate or not, whether made with your knowledge or not. For the
time being, there will be zero (count 'em, zero) privacy safeguards on this
data. But don't worry, your government will protect you with some undefined
"privacy standards" in a few years.
All of the above items are the law of the land. Federal law. What else do
they have in common?
Well, when I ask this question to audiences, I usually get the answer,
"They're all unconstitutional."
True.
My favorite answer came from an eloquent college student who blurted,
"They all SUUUCK!" Also true.
But the saddest and most telling answer is: They were all the product of the
104th Congress. Every one of the horrors above was imposed upon you by the
Congress of the Republican- Revolution -- the Congress that pledged to "get
government off your back."
BURYING TIME BOMBS
All of the above became law by being buried in larger bills. In many cases,
they are hidden sneak attacks upon individual liberties that were neither
debated on the floor of Congress nor reported in the media. For instance,
three of the most horrific items (the health care database, asset
confiscation for foreign residency and the 100 pages of health care crimes)
were hidden in the Kennedy-Kassebaum Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HR 3103).
You didn't hear about them at the time because the media was too busy
celebrating this moderate, compromise bill that "simply" ensured that no
American would ever lose insurance coverage due to a job change or a
Pre-existing condition.
Your legislator may not have heard about them, either. Because he or she
didn't care enough to do so. The fact is, most legislators don't even read
the laws they inflict upon the public. They read the title of the bill
(which may be something like "The Save the Sweet Widdle Babies from Gun
Violence by Drooling Drug Fiends Act of 1984"). They read summaries, which
are often prepared by the very agencies or groups pushing the bill. And they
vote according to various deals or pressures.
It also sometimes happens that the most horrible provisions are sneaked into
bills during conference committee negotiations,
[CTRL] China's Beachhead at Panama Canal (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Insight August 16, 1999 China's Beachhead at Panama Canal By J. Michael Waller Reporting from Balboa, Insight uncovers China's most recent political and economic maneuverings to obtain effective control of the Panama Canal as the U.S. leaves. At the Panama Canal's only Pacific port a dozen huge construction cranes work massive new containerized-cargo facilities behind mounds of sand and concrete. Workmen clad in orange uniforms emblazoned with "Panama Ports Company" -- the innocuous English-language name in a near century-old bastion of U.S. maritime might -- operate the cranes and earthmovers alongside what once was the U.S. military's Southern Command headquarters known as SOUTHCOM. But the construction crews don't work for the Americans anymore. The Panama Ports Company is controlled by Communist China. . . . . As U.S. forces pull out of Panama under the Carter-Torrijos treaties of 1977, Beijing's agents are moving in. And the Clinton administration is looking the other way, scrapping a 1995 plan to explore a continued U.S. military presence. . . . . By all indications, China and its People's Liberation Army, or PLA, are building a beachhead to control the Panama Canal. Under the terms of a controversial lease, Panama gave Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. the right to build new port facilities in Balboa, the canal's only Pacific port, and a major Atlantic port in Cristobal, and to run them up to the next half-century. As Beijing increased its economic muscle in the country, Panama's politicians gave Hutchison Whampoa the right to control anchorages on both ends of the canal, to hire new pilots to guide ships through the waterway, to block all passage that interferes with the company's business, to take control of key public roads near the canal and to have right of first refusal for control of some former U.S. military bases. . . . . "By most accounts, an unfair and corrupt contractual bidding process, which was protested by the U.S. ambassador to Panama, enabled the Chinese Hutchison Whampoa company to outmaneuver American and Japanese companies for the long-term lease on the canal ports," according to Al Santoli, an aide to Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California. Santoli has traveled the perimeter of the Pacific monitoring Chinese maritime encroachments from the Philippines to Panama. . . . . U.S. Ambassador to Panama William Hughes nearly was declared persona non grata for protesting the Hutchison deal when it was exposed three years ago, a U.S. official tells Insight. President Clinton responded by appointing Robert Pastor, an architect of the 1977 canal giveaway and an advocate for left-wing revolutionary causes, to replace Hughes. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jesse Helms of North Carolina, one of the few lawmakers watching the Panama powder keg, blocked the nomination. . . . . The Chinese company has exclusive rights to the ports on both ends of the canal. Ironically, in 1996 Panama asked a Seattle-based company to withdraw its successful bid for Cristobal on the grounds that the U.S. firm would have a monopoly, in light of its existing business in Balboa. The following year, Panama awarded both Cristobal and Balboa to Hutchison Whampoa. Between the ports lies the shortest land route for containerized cargo to be sent between the Atlantic and the Pacific from and to ships too large to cross the canal. . . . . Beijing is in Panama for the long haul. Hutchison Whampoa has the right to extend its leases until the year 2047 or to transfer them to a third party. Already a Chinese corporation called Great Wall Panama has secured a lease as long as 60 years for an export zone on the bank of the canal on the Atlantic side. . . . . "I have a sense that the U.S. is edgy about Hutchison Whampoa," former Panamanian vice president Guillermo "Billy" Ford tells Insight. But Washington has done little to pressure the corrupt

Re: [CTRL] JFK Jr - Laser Blinded in the Night ?
-Caveat Lector- At 09:05 PM 7-23-1999 -0400, you wrote: Kennedy would have been disoriented -- obviously he lost control of the airplane -- Only to you. To the rest of us who are assessing what the authorities are spoon feeding the public, it is NOT obvious what exactly happened. He never "lost control of the airplane"...? Even if it was blown to bits, he did lose control of it. Also, radios can be jammed. But not selectively...jamming would have affected ALL radio communication in the area, which would have readily been noticeable to an island community. Yes. Radio frequencies can be selectively jammed. And if done from a nearby pursuit craft (as was posited), no one else would likely have noticed unless they were monitoring the same frequency. "If" there was jamming, yes, the airport WAS listening on that frequency -- but would they admit now they had heard radio jamming, after failing to report this missing plane -- OR, after having been told to "say no more" about what, in fact, they did attempt to report ? Also, "if" there was jamming, effected from a nearby pursuit craft, they could have used technology that entirely cancels a carrier frequency, thus allowing practically no signal or noise to escape... But, perhaps more likely, they could have used an "EMP cannon" to fry all of the electronics on board Kennedy's plane (including the radio and ignition). Then an "altitude or barometric pressure triggered" bomb could well have finished the job -- "if" this was an "engineered demolition." When the supposed evidence is CRITICALLY analyzed, we really don't have PROOF that they even made it to Martha's Vineyard... That's what the official reports are now indicating And you obviously unquestioningly accept everything officials tell you. You must also then believe in the unfailing validity of the Warren Commission Report... ? What are you smoking ? You know next to nothing about what I accept or believe. If you notice, I was stating your deduction was in agreement with the (then) current "official story." No more, no less. .

Re: [CTRL] Catholic Pedophile Priests: The Effect on U.S. Society
-Caveat Lector- Hi ! Here are some statistics I have found on pedophilia in various religious institutions. LINKUP also has conferences and a newsletter. Sincerely, Neil Brick http://www.thelinkup.com/stats.html Catholic Pedophile Priests: The Effect on U.S. Society By Tom Economus Current estimates of Roman Catholic priests in the U.S.= 49,000 to 50,000 Estimates of pedophile priests = 3,000 (6.1%) to 8,000 (16.3%) 188 Dioceses in the U.S. Divide 3,000 by 188 = 16 perpetrators per diocese Divide 8,000 by 188 = 42 perpetrators per diocese Current experts claim a pedophile could abuse 200-265 children in a lifetime. 200 x 16 perps/diocese = 3,200 victims/diocese 200 x 42 perps/diocese = 8,400 victims/diocese 3,200 victims/diocese x 188 dioceses = 601,600 victims in U.S. 8,400 victims/diocese x 188 dioceses = 1,579,200 victims in U.S. Average American family consists of 4-6 people (3,200 victims/diocese) 601,600 victims x 4 family members = 2,406,400 indirect victims 60l,000 victims x 6 family members = 3,609,600 indirect victims (8,400 victims/diocese) 1,579,200 x 4 family members = 6,316,800 indirect victims 1,579,200 x 6 family members = 9,475,200 indirect victims These numbers are a reflection of immediate family only and do not reflect the indirect victims within the parishes that are affected. 188 Bishops are responsible for the pain of at least 601,600 direct victims and as many as 9,475,200 indirect victims a total of as many as 10,076,800 people. Clearly, something is wrong. Additional information: Using the higher estimates of pedophile priests (8,000) and numbers of victims (265), the results are even more astonishing giving a possible maximum of 2,092,440 direct victims and as many as 12,554,640 indirect victims for a total of 14,647,080. For comparative purposes, using the lower numbers the number of direct victims and survivors alone could populate a city larger than Boston. Using the higher numbers, it would be the fourth largest city in the U.S. one between the size of Houston and Chicago. The Wisconsin Psychological Association's survey found offenders distributed among the following professions: Psychiatrists 34%, Psychologists 19%, Social Workers 13%, Clergy 11%, Physicians 6%, Marriage Counselors 4%, and Others 14%. The Center for Domestic Violence found that 12.6% of clergy said they had sex with church members. 47% of clergy women were harassed by clergy colleagues. The Presbyterian Church stated that 10-23% of clergy have "inappropriate sexual behavior or contact" with clergy and employees. The United Methodist research (1990) showed 38.6% of Ministers had sexual contact with church members and that 77% of church workers experienced some type of sexual harassment. The United Church of Christ found that 48% of the women in the work place have been sexually harassed by male clergy. The Southern Baptists claim 14.1% of their clergy have sexually abused members. In the Roman Catholic Church there are over 800 priests that have been removed from ministry as a result of allegations against them. We also know of 1,400 insurance claims on the books and that the Church has paid out over $500 million in liability with an estimated $500 million pending. One noted expert claims that there are over 5,000 priests with some type of allegation against them. If this is true, then there are at least 1,000,000 direct victims of clergy sexual abuse and between 4-6 million indirect victims in the U.S. Our institutional churches, who have proclaimed themselves to be the moral backbone of society, have failed all of us. We need to continue to bring them to moral and civil accountability. I think we might want to pray for them as well. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

But not selectively...jamming would have affected ALL radio communication in the area, which would have readily been noticeable to an island community. Jamming is much easier when you only have to jam one frequency, even two frequencies are easy to jam, but jamming the full spectrum is extremely hard since it requires much more power, which is very expensive ... to buy a transmitter of that type and to find power for it. I have never seen a full spectrum jammer for sale, as far as I know only the military uses them. If someone was to know the transmit frequency of his radio, they could jam it by keying their transmitter and putting a 3Kc signal on it with a cheap oscillator, no one in the area would be able to distinguish what was being transmitted from the plane. Also, retuning to a new transmit frequency would take time, much more than 12 seconds. They would also be able to jam the planes receive frequency in the same manner, making it so the plane could not receive any communications without retuning to a different frequency.
