 Dear Citizens, Patriots, Veterans, et al:
 
 Clinton NOT concerned with Chinese in Panama?  Here's why!!
 
 Maybe that is why Clinton is not too worried about the Chinese
 Communists
 taking over the Panama Canal???  Because he plans on wiping them out along
 with everyone else???

   Mike:
 
   This doesn't surprise me at all. I have observed on two occasions here in
   the Republic of Panama the complimentary U.S. airborne dispersion via
   "dense, long lingering, contrails" of gw testing.
 
   These deliveries were followed by nationwide epidemics of respiratory
   illness of undetermined "flu strains" through out Panama. Many thousands
   affected, though death toll attributed to mystery epidemic here was low.
 I
   felt the effects to, but, have been on a regimen of doxicyclin for some
   time, re: Cfids derived from vaccines. So, I did not contract test bug.
 The
   effect in RP was not like in the U.K. where they had @ 6,000 deaths some
   attribute to contrail incidents.
 
   Reason I am so cock sure of R.P. applications is the flight path was West
   to East directly over Panama's long national axis which also is E-W
   oriented. Directly overhead where I am at is dead center in the middle of
   the country.
 
   There is the perfect path to reach the max number of Panama's
   "beneficiaries" indigenous people with the Ft. Dietrich's  chemical
   coctails. I sure wish I had a shoulder delivered stinger to tag the
   bastards with.
 
   I can feel the heat up north where you are at from down here. Keep
 looking
   up, my friend, but always cover you back. I recommend the Lord, God of
   Israel for that. Read Isaiah 52:12 and 58:8 to experience this.
 
   Warm regards from south of your border,
 
   Atentamente,

   Is it about time we turned the tables on them and did a little
 retributionary spraying upon these evil puppets ourselves?

  Hi Mike,

  Thank you for the email about the chemtrails story.

  After discovering the story in early June, I posted a report about it on
  July 5 at A HREF="http://www.tiac.net/users/tobya/ciaindex.html"The
  Christian Intelligence Advisory/A. For a few weeks, the spraying stopped
  in the Boston area.

  However, the spraying has started up again. Beginning the week of 8/16, the
  spraying began as follows: typically, planes would lay trails roughly an
  hour before sunset, and only in abbreviated "trails," to make them more
  resemble clouds. By the time the sun set, it was extremely difficult to
  identify them as chemtrails.

  However, in the last few days, the spraying has intensified, and yesterday,
  8/24, I identified trails being laid-though not heavily-throughout the day.
  I work in downtown Boston, only a few miles from Logan airport, in a
  building that allows me an unobstructed, 360-degree view of the skies.

  I think those of us who realize what's going and are in the position to
  influence others need to organize a rally in Washington, D.C. or a major
  city soon. I have organized nationally covered rallies before and we need to
  speak out more vocally on this incredible madness. Educating the public is
  easy on this one, because the trails are so easily identifiable, and people
  who are getting sick are making the connection.

  Also, I am working with a group of nationally known journalists to create an
  investigative news show to pitch to Fox, which WorldNetDaily and others are
  going to promote heavily, so stories like these are gaining visibility.

  This story is really a staggering testament to how desperately far gone this
  country is, isn't it.

  Your Brother in Christ,
  Andrew

[CTRL] Did Bill Clinton Overdose on Cocaine? (fwd)

1999-08-26 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

 -Caveat Lector-

http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=1999/8/25/161649

With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff
For the story behind the story...

Wednesday August 25, 5:08 PM

Did Bill Clinton Overdose on Cocaine?

Now that the press has raised the "coke" question in their dogged
pursuit of George W., questions about Bill Clinton's drug past
are also fair game.

One area of inquiry for the news hounds at, let's say, the
Washington Post, might be an incident that supposedly taken place
in the early 1980's when Bill Clinton was governor of the state
of Arkansas.

Dr. Sam Houston, a respected Little Rock physician and once a
doctor for Hillary's cantankerous father, Hugh Rodham, says it is
well known in Little Rock medical circles that Clinton was
brought to a Little Rock hospital for emergency treatment for an
apparent cocaine overdose.

According to Houston, who told us he spoke to someone intimately
familiar with the details of what happened that night, Clinton
arrived at the hospital with the aid of a state trooper. Hillary
Clinton had been notified by phone and had instructed the
hospital staff that Clinton's personal physician would be
arriving soon.

When Mrs. Clinton arrived, she told both of the resident
physicians on duty that night that they would never practice
medicine in the United States if word leaked out about Clinton's
drug problem. Reportedly, she pinned one of the doctors up
against the wall, both hands pressed against his shoulders, as
she gave her dire warning.

Like most tales that reflect poorly on Bill Clinton, the press
has ignored any inquiry into this one. In 1996, however,
columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell located and telelphoned one of the
nurses who had been on duty the night Bill Clinton was brought
into the emergency room. According to Tyrrell, the nurse didn't
deny the story, but said she couldn't talk about it because she
could lose her job. Weclome to Arkansas!

[CTRL] The Weird World Of Vince Foster -- Buddy Me on Public TV (fwd)

1999-08-26 Thread MICHAEL SPITZER

 -Caveat Lector-

Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 00:15:10 -0400 (EDT)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject:  The Weird World Of Vince Foster -- Buddy  Me on Public TV

I was invited down to KERA-TV tonight (one of the two area PBS
stations) to be part of a show on Y2K.  I had been a questioner
during the previous Y2K show in this series about 18 months ago
and I guess they decided to have me back for this show.
[Warning -- Sprunt "buries the lead" in this post, exactly as
usual!]

There was a formal panel of four (one of whom I had done some
work for years ago -- I didn't know he was going to be on the
panel) and then there was a second group of people who questioned
the four penalists or made comments about what the panelists had
said on the air (actually, the show was taped and will air
sometime in October -- apparently it will be picked up by a
number of US PBS stations) when invited to do so by Dennis
McCuistion the host/producer (I've known Dennis and his wife
Nikki for some years -- very good folks -- they have a PBS-TV
series out of Dallas/Dentor -- KERA/KDTN public TV stations in
this area).

OK, so far, so good.  No surprises.

During the show, I asked the regional head of the FDIC a question
and he confirmed I was correct in my belief (he then explained
why it didn't make any difference that I was right:  The
question:  Isn't it true that under the statutes and regulations
goverening banks and SLs -- FDIC/FSLIC -- that the monthly
statement mailed to a savings or checking account holder carries
NO weight re "proving up" the amount in one's account on the
statement date?  The Amazing, IMHO Answer, which the FDIC
confirmed on the show: Yes, but . .  .).

Guess who turned out to be the person in my group of
commenters/questioners who was seated to my left (closet to me,
but separated by a few feet)?

Buddy Young, Clinton's security man when Clinton was Governor
and, as many of you know, the Regional Director of FEMA for our
region of the US (there are ten FEMA regions across the US and
Buddy Young was there in his official capacity).

We did not get a chance to interact before the show since I
didn't notice he was there sitting a few feet from me and (I
assume!) he didn't know I was there either (we had not "met"
until tonight).

The fun part came during the rolling of the credits (we're on the
air -- or on the tape -- but I don't think you can hear anything
Dennis or anyone else was saying since the show just asks the
audience to hold still while the camera is on the audience and
the group of questioners/commenters during the 45 seconds or so
the credits are rolling).

Anyway, during the credit roll, Dennis is talking to the panel,
the audience, and the sub-group I was in -- just killing time
while we're on camera just before the end of the show, and Dennis
says:  well, we didn't get to hear much from Hugh Sprunt tonight,
but he is a man who knows a lot of about Y2K and a lot about many
other things too (this is close to what Dennis said, but not a
quote). . .  In fact, Hugh is one of the experts on the death of
Vince Foster and right over here we have Buddy Young who was
Governor Clinton's Chief of Security (which everyone knew since
Dennis had commented on Buddy Young's Clinton affliation while
asking him re FEMA and Y2K).  I imagine you two have heard of
each other . . .  (again, this is the gist, not a quote of what
Dennis said).

I didn't say anything -- unusual for me as those who know me will
attest! -- but Buddy Young replied -- loud enough for Dennis, me,
and everyone else there to hear, something like:  oh yeah, I know
him. . . (or maybe: I know about/of him or some such. didn't get
the exact wording).

After the credits, several people in the audience come up to me
to say hi (the one panelist whom I knew, another person -- he
knew Chris Ruddy -- and some folks who want to talk about or ask
me about Y2K).

Anyway, for two-three minutes, I see Buddy Young hanging at the
back of this little group like he has a few words he wants to
tell me (I've never written any articles that mention Buddy
Young, mostly because there is nothing in the official record
that particularly links him to the Foster death or the
surrounding events). . .

I made quick eye contact with him and vice versa, but the folks
who were queued up to chat with me meant that he would have
either had have pushed through them to get to me right away (or
vice versa).

Anyway, I finished up chatting in turn with these three or four
folks, but before I could get finished, Buddy Young had left.

I assume (though I can't be sure) that he had a comment or two
for me a propos of Dennis McCuisition's little informal comments
to the audience about us during the credit roll, but I don't know
for sure.

Anyway, stranger than fiction. . . (The whole thing was
completely unanticipated by yours truly.)

When I left the station (walking out with a professor who was one
of the formal panelists) I looked around (hum) for Buddy Young,
but didn't see him in

Bared Breasts Launch Mass. Scandal

By LESLIE MILLER
.c The Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) - It was smooth sailing for Gov. Paul Cellucci's administration
until a stunt actress named Gidget bared her breasts to a newspaper
photographer while aboard a taxpayer-funded booze cruise.

The raised tank top opened a Pandora's box of daily allegations ranging from
cronyism to abuse of power to uncontrolled spending within the Cellucci
administration.

Reports surfaced Wednesday that a recent Cellucci appointee had approved a
state contract for his recently disbarred divorce lawyer, and another
appointee had been found to have sexually harassed an underling.

Cellucci said Wednesday he is undisturbed by all the turmoil in his
administration.

``We've got over 60,000 people working for us,'' he said. ``So will there be
problems occasionally? Sure. It's our job to deal with those problems. That's
what we're doing.''

The troubles began on Aug. 17, with a boozy Boston Harbor cruise chartered by
Massachusetts Port Authority director Peter Blute, a former congressman. He
was accompanied by a controversial GOP fund-raiser and a number of young
women, including Gidget Churchill, who lifted her top after spotting a Boston
Herald photographer waiting on shore.

``That was a bad thing to do,'' Cellucci said after returning from a Florida
vacation Saturday, looking tanned but not particularly rested.

Blute resigned hours after the booze cruise photos hit newsstands, but that
was just the beginning.

On Friday, David Shagoury, chief of staff for state Economic Development
Director Carolyn Boviard, resigned amid allegations that he and Ms. Boviard
were having an affair. The 33-year-old Shagoury - immediately nicknamed
``Shagadelic'' by a local columnist - had reportedly threatened to punish
employees who gossiped about the alleged affair, which Ms. Boviard, 44,
denies.

The same day, Nancy ``Hasty'' Evans quit her job as planning director for the
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. The Republican appointee said she
could no longer tolerate cost overruns that ran into hundreds of millions of
dollars.

On Tuesday, Cellucci appointed his chief of staff, 33-year-old Virginia
Buckingham, to the top Massport post, immediately drawing criticism that Ms.
Buckingham is far from qualified for the position.

He was also criticized for his choice of replacement for Ms. Buckingham as
chief of staff - Stephen O'Neill, a Cellucci aide who had been his driver as
recently as 1991.

``They've always got a shortage of qualified Republicans, but they're
reaching down really low,'' said Dan Payne, a Democratic consultant.
``Cellucci has not distinguished himself with strong people around him. There
are no adults he can turn to and say, `Get this class in order'.''

Corruption is nothing new in Massachusetts and certainly not limited to
Republicans, said John Sears, a Republican political consultant.

``Massachusetts' congressional delegation has a couple of very black eyes
from its own past that might be deemed more serious than booze cruises or
love affairs in the office,'' said Sears, referring to the Chappaquiddick
tragedy that doomed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's shot at the presidency and Rep.
Barney Frank's admission he improperly used his congressional office to aid a
male prostitute.

Nevertheless, gleeful Democrats say they've seen the scandals coming for a
long, long, time - ever since Republican Gov. William Weld strayed from his
campaign promise in 1990 not to hire any political hacks, or ``walruses,'' as
he called them.

Six years later, it was revealed Weld's patronage appointees called
themselves the ``walrus club,'' and the administration kept a priority list
of job candidates who had supported Weld or the GOP.

Cellucci had been Weld's lieutenant governor until July 1997, when he became
acting governor after Weld resigned for an unsuccessful pursuit of the
ambassadorship to Mexico.

``There is no one in the business of politics in Massachusetts, Republican,
Democrat, Independent, reporter, official or independent observer, who was
surprised by this,'' said Michael Goldman, a Democratic political consultant.

``Fairly or unfairly, they've had such a good run, and now it's turned.
That's the way it works in this business.''

Russia, China Seek Closer Alliance

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
.c The Associated Press

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) - Boris Yeltsin met with Chinese President Jiang
Zemin on Wednesday and the two leaders signaled their desire to forge a
closer alliance to counterbalance U.S. global clout.

The Russian president and Jiang met for one-on-one talks before taking part
in a five-nation summit in Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet state in central Asia.
The summit's goal was to improve stability along China's lengthy border with
Russia and three former Soviet republics: Kyrgyzstan, Kazakstan and
Tajikistan.

After tension between Moscow and Beijing during the Cold War, relations have
warmed considerably in this decade, and the leaders of the two countries meet
regularly.

Moscow has made it clear it wants better ties in Asia since NATO's airstrikes
against Yugoslavia this spring, which Russia staunchly opposed.

``The current summit is taking place in conditions of an aggravated
international situation,'' Yeltsin said. ``Some nations are trying to build a
world order that would be convenient only for them, ignoring that the world
is multi-polar.''

Jiang made similar remarks in his speech.

``The process of forming a multi-polar world is difficult, but it has become
an irreversible trend,'' he said.

Jiang did not mention the United States by name, but he appeared to refer to
Washington when he said there was a ``new display of hegemony relying on
force, and it has already drawn concern on the international scene.''

Russia and China had a falling-out in the late 1950s, but after the Soviet
collapse relations between the two countries have improved considerably.
China has become one of Russia's major trading partners and is a top client
for its ailing military industry, purchasing billions of dollars worth of
jets, missiles and submarines.

``The meeting between Boris Yeltsin and Jiang Zemin took place in a very warm
and friendly atmosphere,'' said Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov. ``Our
relations are now at a peak and that meets the interests of both nations as
well as the interests of regional and international stability.''

The five-nation summit was the fourth such meeting since April 1996, when the
leaders first met in Shanghai and agreed on a series of confidence-building
measures along the border.

``Russia has strategic interests in maintaining stability and security in
Asia,'' Yeltsin said. ``We would like to see this region developing good
neighborly links.''

The five leaders signed an agreement to cooperate on fighting crime and drug
trafficking across their borders. Under previous agreements, the countries
have reduced troop levels and limited military activity along their borders.

Colombians, Airline Ring Said Tied

By JARED KOTLER
.c The Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Ten Colombians arrested over the weekend in Cali used
American Airlines flights to smuggle more than a half ton of heroin and
cocaine to Miami, a state security official said Wednesday.

Cleotilde Moreno, an aide to the state security agency's chief of
investigations, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that an airline
maintenance company got the drugs aboard the American Airlines planes.

The U.S. airline has one flight daily to Miami from Cali.

There was no immediate indication that the arrests were connected to a sting
operation in the United States involving dozens of American Airlines
employees and contract workers. They were arrested Tuesday on cocaine and
marijuana smuggling charges.

American Airlines officials could not immediately be reached for comment on
the Cali-based smuggling ring.

According to the DAS security agency, the Cali traffickers worked through the
maintenance company, Aercol, and smuggled more than a half ton of heroin to
the United States.

DAS spokesman Efrain Marin said the group occasionally smuggled cocaine, but
opted generally for heroin, which is harder to detect and more lucrative.

Mechanics hid the drugs in the tail sections, behind the pilots' seats and in
technical compartments. Once in Miami, the heroin was received by a man whose
identity DAS provided to U.S. authorities, the Colombian agency said.

A respected foreign carrier was used ``because its planes are not subjected
to as rigorous inspections as occurs with (Colombian) airlines.'' DAS said in
a statement.

Moreno said the security agency had been investigating the heroin ring for
seven months, and believes it had been operating for two years. It's alleged
leader, Simeon Gomez, is one of the men arrested Sunday.

Colombia is the source of more than 80 percent of the world's cocaine and a
growing share of heroin. Three-quarters of the heroin seized on the East
Coast originates in this Andean nation, U.S. officials say.

[CTRL] Purge of Politicians in China

1999-08-26 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

Report: China Officials Jailed

SHANGHAI, China (AP) - A former local Communist Party leader in southern
China has been jailed for financial mismanagement and two other officials
were imprisoned for corruption, the state Xinhua News Agency reported
Wednesday.

The announcement came a week after the communist government acknowledged that
officials have stolen or wasted more than $14 billion in the first half of
1999.

Kuang Reng, party secretary of the city of Enping in Guangdong province in
1990-94, enacted policies that drove up local debts and led to problems for
banks and local companies, Xinhua said without giving details. He was
sentenced to four years on charges of neglect of duty.

There was no indication that Kuang took money for himself, but China is
increasingly trying to stop officials from squandering public money.

The party newspaper People's Daily said Aug. 17 that agencies this year had
mismanaged or stolen money from pension funds, flood control projects and
other accounts.

In June, China's auditor general issued a critical report accusing ministries
of wasting money on lavish offices, travel and other expenses.

The amount that the People's Daily reported stolen or wasted was equal to

[CTRL] Local Control -- Regimentation and Conformity

1999-08-26 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

 How like America: The sins of the parents are taken out
--"preventively"-- on their children ... "Hey! /  Leave those kids alone!"
 Adults may try and resist "1984," but no matter -- the younger
generation is being raised --by the SAME folks, ironically-- to accept
Orwellian conditions as NORMAL..


Ark. Schools Try Uniform Experiment

By KRISTEN EVERETT
.c The Associated Press

PINE BLUFF, Ark. (AP) - Keeping track of students in the Watson Chapel School
District is a snap this term: All their clothes are color-coded.

Elementary students are wearing khaki or blue slacks and white, blue or
burgundy polo-style shirts. High schoolers wear white, hunter green or
burgundy shirts.

Casey Mounts, a 5-year-old kindergartner at Edgewood Elementary, wore navy
shorts and a baby blue shirt - blue is her favorite color - when her mom
picked her up Monday.

``We had our doubts at first,'' Christie Mounts said. ``It sounded like it
was cutting down on individualism. Once they got them and tried them on they
looked really cute.''

Other schools could follow the district's lead. The Legislature has asked all
Arkansas public schools to look into whether uniforms would suit their needs.
Referenda would be put on school election ballots next year.

``The idea behind the law was mainly to get the school boards to deal with
the issue,'' said Kevin Smith, a state representative from Stuttgart. ``It's
gotten a lot of attention because of the shooting at Columbine and the
trenchcoats.''

Two students gunned down 12 schoolmates and a teacher before killing
themselves April 20 at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. The gunmen
were said to be members of a group that wore dark trenchcoats.

The 3,500-student, five-school Watson Chapel district had hoped to reduce
school violence by relying on fences, teacher supervision and a city-provided
police officer.

Now, many think uniforms also can help: Parents say it's easier to dress
their kids, children say it eliminates competition and administrators hope it
leads to a more orderly setting.

Decked out in wrinkle-free khaki shorts and a tucked-in white polo shirt,
10-year-old Michael Dial said he felt comfortable - and anonymous.

``Everybody almost looks the same and people don't talk about you. I could go
to church in these,'' he said. Only hats, which are still allowed, set some
children apart.

The Arkansas School Boards Association is neutral on the colors.

``It's an issue of local control. It best works when it's thoughtfully
planned out by all parties involved - students, teachers, administrators, and
parents,'' said spokesman John Pennington.

Troy Lowe, principal of Jacksonville Middle School, said parents have been
supportive of the new policy, although some complain finding clothes in the
right color and size has been difficult.

District Superintendent Danny Knight said he talked with one mother who
outfitted her two children with three outfits each for a total of $200. Local
charities also have helped.

``We think it will cut down on any kind of status symbol,'' Lowe said, adding
that his middle schoolers ``seem to be a little quieter and maybe the
uniforms have helped.''

[CTRL] Geraldo on Drug War 26AUG MSNBC

1999-08-26 Thread David Crockett Williams

 -Caveat Lector-

I happened to see most of the program tonight (WED25AUG) on MSNBC
by Geraldo Rivera about the various factors of the Drug War and I wanted to
congratulate him, NBC, and MSNBC for this fine program and its insightful,
compassionate, considerate, and critical review of the various issues
involved.

I am not sure I have the right email address for Geraldo so I hope you can
forward this to him and your other news programs assignment editors for an
important new breaking story on this issue.

May I suggest that the next step in expanding the coverage on this very
important topic is to do a piece on the CIA involvement in protecting the
bulk of the drug trade as acknowledged for its period covered by the still
to be released CIA IG report volume2 being held quietly in Congress because
it implicates major political figures in both parties, including, according
to the documentation of former LAPD narcotics officer and now editor of From
The Wilderness newsletter Michael Ruppert, both President Clinton and former
President Bush, in this still ongoing 50year+ apparently "official rogue"
government/criminal campaign to fund covert operations and provide low cost
laundered capital to prop up the stock market and political campaigns while
targeting African American populations as is the subject of pending class
action lawsuit filed 15MAR99 (Ides of March) against CIA and DoJ by South
Central Los Angeles and Oakland California residents with the support of a
unanimous resolution of Oakland City Council (former CA Governor and US
Presidential candidate Jerry Brown, Mayor).

This story is about to break mainstream big time as Ruppert has been on many
radio stations in the last few days in part because of videotape evidence
that he is aware of regarding a DEA sting operation in 1985 that recorded
multi-kilo cocaine buy by George W. Bush and his brother Jeb.   I hope that
NBC/MSNBC will get a scoop on this via your outlets and contact Ruppert who
lives in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.  I have sent you two posts
this week already on this DEA sting tape info.

 At the 
height of the Clinton Impeachment frenzy, David Rockefeller introduced and

Corporate/Banking/Foundation interests to oppose the impeachment. This was 
at the same time that leading newspapers accross the country were advocating

 The

  Electromagnetic HAARP Technology Can Generate Earthquakes
 
  The U.S. Navy's top-secret, massive, global HAARP project has  a long
  list of objectives, agendas, goals… and targets.
 
  This massive project includes among it's top-secret agendas the
  triggering of SEISMIC DISTURBANCES.
 
  In view of this and also in view of what happened in Turkey last week,
  we present here a NewsHawk article written in May, 1998 on the many
  astonishing covert agendas of the HAARP project.
 
  ELF detectors did in fact pick up some very unusual, anomalous
  electromagnetic signals emanating form the region where the 7.4 quake
  struck Turkey, which could indicate "tampering" with earth's
  geomagnetics by HAARP and/or similar/related technologies. Such
  tampering, as our report below discusses, could in turn indicate that
  HAARP transmissions may have been deliberately targeted to trigger a
  quake in this seismically highly sensitive, unstable area.

  HAARP'S COVERT AGENDAS
  THE BIG PICTURE
 
  Copyright 1998 John A. Quinn/NewsHawk Inc.
  All rights reserved.
 
  HAARP--High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program. HAARP--the kind
  angels will never strum. HAARP--the futuristic nightmare project which
  is currently in operation, researching a wide variety of effects and
  phenomena, as well as possible uses and applications for such, resulting
  from beaming massively powerful radio signals into targeted regions of
  the ionosphere; a project which has given environmental activists,
  constitutionalists, airline pilots along with ionospheric physicists and
  other groups, such as normal, ordinary people definite cause for some
  serious concern.
 
  Contrary to information made public by the operators of HAARP, it is no
  longer a relatively small, preliminary venture limited to one
  (nevertheless extremely powerful) transmitter site in the remote Alaskan
  back country. Contrary to much of the official noise being generated
  regarding the supposed "benign" uses for this multi agenda'd operation,
  the internal intelligence/military documentation and a growing amount of
  supporting material shows that HAARP is in fact at this point fulfilling
  some highly secret and highly advanced functions; in fact, some very
  negative and completely objectionable functions.
 
  The acknowledged, publicized applications for potential applications of
  HAARP technology are primarily:
 Enhancement of or interference with communications, as well as
  development of new types of radio transmissions;
 
 "Investigation" of effects on weather patterns;
 
 Earth-penetrating tomography -- an X-ray like function which can
  reveal, for example, the existence of underground installations as well
  as oil or mineral deposits.
 
  Some of the other principal yet unpublicized goals are:
 Weapons-related (physical/psychological disablement) and mind
  control uses;
 
 Large scale tampering/modification of global weather patterns via
  ionospheric disturbances;
 
 "Pushing the envelope" in terms of pumping electromagnetic energy
  into the ionosphere, just to see what happens.
 
  It bears emphasizing here that any such references to HAARP being used
  for EM mind control come directly from numerous internal documents and
  repeated references therein to HAARP's capabilities as electromagnetic
  mind modification/manipulation technology and intentions to so implement
HAARP.
 
  There are yet further agendas for HAARP even more covert than these, as
  this report will discuss.
 
  HAARP ON LONG ISLAND!
  Some very interesting information about HAARP has recently come light.
  To provide a background for some of this information, we go back to
  early last summer when Brookhaven National Laboratories on Long Island
  underwent a significant and far reaching change of directorship, and
  subsequently a change of direction and focus. The changes at Brookhaven,
  one of the first National Laboratories established, received coverage
  even in the national news media.
 
  Brookhaven Labs has been repeatedly named as a major player in other
  clandestine and generally malignant and malevolent operations on Long
  Island--such as the Montauk Project and many related activities; among
  other well-known secrets are the particle accelerators underlying much
  of the area used in so many covert projects, which undoubtedly also have
  negative environmental and health consequences.
 
  Subsequent to these well-publicized but never adequately explained
  changes at Brookhaven Labs last year, several of the Navy's key HAARP
  personnel are now stationed at BNL. No public mention has been made of
  this by Brookhaven, the Navy, nor anyone else.
 
  Latest reports show that the Navy has more or less completely taken over
  administration and operation of HAARP and that the Air Force is no

 Croatian Edition Of Mein Kampf Can't Be Banned

 Croatia's state attorney Berislav Zivkovic on Wednesday said a
 Croatian edition of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" could not be banned
 legally in the Balkans country, a Croatian daily reported.

 "It is not possible to implement such a ban in Croatia," Zivkovic
 told the Novi List daily explaining that procedures for imposing
 the ban should be conducted under a law on the prevention of
 abuse of freedom of the press and other information, dating from
 1976, which was no longer valid.

 Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust and a founder
 of the Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna, on Monday called on
 the government of the German state of Bavaria, which has the
 copyright of Mein Kampf, to ban the book's Croatian edition.

 However, Zivkovic said that it was not yet clear whether the
 publishing house Croatiaprojekt had publishing rights for
 Hitler's book.

 He stressed that under Croatian criminal law it would be possible
 to press charges against the editor of a book like Mein Kampf if
 he supported its contents.

 The book's editor and publisher Franjo Letic said Monday that
 there was "no reason for Simon Wiesenthal to request a ban,"
 arguing that it "would be counter-productive."

 "'Mein Kampf' has been published in Croatia in 2,000 copies since
 mid-June, according to Letic, and one third of the copies have
 been sold so far. ((c) 1999 Agence France Presse)

 Bertelsmann Pulls 'Mein Kampf' From Online Shop

 By Deborah Cole

 BERLIN (Reuters) - German media giant Bertelsmann Friday pulled
 Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf from its BOL online book store after
 being accused in Germany of selling hate literature.

 BOL's German and Dutch services have never sold Hitler's
 autobiographical manifesto, written in prison several years
 before he led the Nazi party to power in 1933 and full of
 anti-Semitic tirades, because the book is banned there.

 But BOL said it would stop offering the book on its English and
 French services to prevent Germans buying it anyway.

 End lead-in

Well:  apparently the solution to education about the worser
periods of history is to ignorance-denial-hiding that period and
its primary resource material.  Perhaps it's because the book
describes the writer's attitudes towards certain people -- as
far back as the '20s -- that might prove to be embarrassing
(i.e., even *I* would have gotten the point).  Additionally,
start banning books then they become collectors' items (i.e.,
important) and take on a whole new significance.  Thus, as a
coveted item, it might provide some inspiration.  It would be
interesting to see how the sales progress now that this new push
to pull the book is underway.

Then Croatia ... wasn't that one of the countries that marked
among the first ethnic cleansings of the Serbs? Go to

 Did Bill Clinton Overdose on Cocaine?

 Now that the press has raised the "coke" question in their dogged
 pursuit of George W., questions about Bill Clinton's drug past
 are also fair game.

 One area of inquiry for the news hounds at, let's say, the
 Washington Post, might be an incident that supposedly taken place
 in the early 1980's when Bill Clinton was governor of the state
 of Arkansas.

 Dr. Sam Houston, a respected Little Rock physician and once a
 doctor for Hillary's cantankerous father, Hugh Rodham, says it is
 well known in Little Rock medical circles that Clinton was
 brought to a Little Rock hospital for emergency treatment for an
 apparent cocaine overdose.

 According to Houston, who told us he spoke to someone intimately
 familiar with the details of what happened that night, Clinton
 arrived at the hospital with the aid of a state trooper. Hillary
 Clinton had been notified by phone and had instructed the
 hospital staff that Clinton's personal physician would be
 arriving soon.

 When Mrs. Clinton arrived, she told both of the resident
 physicians on duty that night that they would never practice
 medicine in the United States if word leaked out about Clinton's
 drug problem. Reportedly, she pinned one of the doctors up
 against the wall, both hands pressed against his shoulders, as
 she gave her dire warning.

 Like most tales that reflect poorly on Bill Clinton, the press
 has ignored any inquiry into this one. In 1996, however,
 columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell located and telelphoned one of the
 nurses who had been on duty the night Bill Clinton was brought
 into the emergency room. According to Tyrrell, the nurse didn't
 deny the story, but said she couldn't talk about it because she
 could lose her job. Weclome to Arkansas!

August 18, 1999

1. PRESIDENT CLINTON LEADS DISCUSSION ON YOUTH VIOLENCE
A new anti-violence initiative was unveiled this week as President Clinton
and the Ad Council launched a public service campaign to encourage open
communication between parents and children.  The television spots encourage
"parents to talk with their children about violence in the wake of shootings
at public schools and a community center," reports the Washington Post.
Emphasizing the important shared responsibility by everyone from Hollywood
to Capitol Hill, President Clinton stated, "'We ought to give our kids back
their childhood, and we can do it, if we do it together.'"  [Washington
Post, 8/18/99]

2. REVIEWS IN FROM AROUND COUNTRY - JUST SAY NO TO GOP TAX PLAN
Republican loyalties obviously lie with wealthy supporters, not with
America's children.  Nevada's Reno Gazette-Journal this week panned the
Republican tax plan noting that  "[i]n their haste to cut taxes, Washington
Republicans don't tell you about the other side of the coin.  On that other
side, valuable programs will be cut or go unfunded."  In particular, the
editorial cites the drastic reductions in government support for vaccinating
toddlers.  Cuts in 1998 and again this year will leave the program able to
aid only 39% of Nevada's children resulting in an expected decline in the
total number of vaccinated youngsters.  What is worse, the trade off for
failing to provide health services to children is that "defense contractors

3. AS TODDLERS TO TEENAGERS RETURN TO SCENES OF VIOLENCE, DEMOCRATS WANT TO
ASSURE THEIR SAFETY
Earlier in the week, anxious parents accompanied their children as they
returned to classes at Columbine High School in Colorado and to the North
Valley Jewish Community Center in California with the cautious optimism that
this year will be safer.  On Sunday, 1,000 people participated in a rally to
show their support for community action and new anti-violence initiatives.
California Democratic Governor Gray Davis "said he was working with
legislative leaders on a program that would help plan and pay for greater
security at child-care centers and churches...[T]he program would be modeled
on legislation passed earlier this year that seeks to do the same thing for
schools,"  reports the L.A. Times.  Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Janet
Reno "wants prospective gun buyers to be required to take a written and
manual test 'demonstrating that they know how to safely and...to lawfully
use [a weapon] under state law.'"  Such concrete Democratic efforts on both
the federal and state level will help keep public institutions safe for
everyone.  [Los Angeles Times, 8/16/99]

4. DESPITE THE SPIN, REPUBLICAN RECORD OF INTOLERANCE REMAINS
Richard Cohen's opinion piece in the Washington Post this week addresses an
article that recently appeared in the New York Times about the Republican
Party's increasing "tolerance" of gays and lesbians.  "The fact remains that
for all the good intentions of certain Republicans, the party itself remains
much too hospitable to anti-gay bigots," Cohen writes.  Cohen also points
out that the leaders of the Republican Party are themselves the worst
offenders.  Those who freely spout anti-gay rhetoric include congressional
leaders and presidential candidates such as Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT).  "The
list of GOP gay-bashers is long and troubling.  It includes the Senate
majority leader, Trent Lott, and the majority leader in the House, Dick
Armey.  It also features Sen. James Inhofe...and Gary Bauer, No.4 in the
Iowa straw poll but maybe first in his emphasis on the immorality of gays."
 No matter how Republicans re-package their pitch, the GOP continues to
embrace prejudice.  [Washington Post, 8/17/99]

 Brits Headline Clinton Coke Charge

 For most of America's mainstream press, reporting on Gennifer Flowers'
 charge that President Clinton once offered her cocaine is strictly verboten.
 But in Britain, reporters know a bombshell when they see one -- and they're
 not afraid to inform their public about it.

 Inside Cover was the very first to pose the Clinton coke question to Flowers
 during her August 6 appearance on Sean Hannity's New York radio show. This
 past Wednesday Hannity put Flowers on TV, where she repeated the charge on
 Fox News Channel's "Hannity  Colmes."

 While American reporters continued to chase their tails over completely
 unsubstantiated rumors that George W. Bush may have used cocaine as a youth,
 the London Times noticed that a sitting U.S. President had been hit with a
 coke allegation from a witness whose credibility has been vindicated in
 spades.

 Headlining their report, "Former Lover Drags Clinton into Drug Row," the
 Times reported on Saturday:

 "The Republican presidential contender George W. Bush was struggling to
 contain a fresh flood of questions over possible drug use in his youth
 yesterday as President Clinton was dragged into the dispute by allegations
 that he had taken cocaine. Gennifer Flowers, who had an affair with Mr.
 Clinton that he initially denied, said she saw him smoking marijuana when he
 was governor of Arkansas and that he had offered to obtain cocaine for her."

 The London Times quoted Flowers directly:

 "'He made it very clear that, if I ever wanted to do cocaine, he could
 provide that,' Ms. Flowers told Fox News. 'I clearly knew that Bill did
 cocaine,' she added."

 With rare exception, America's mainstream press has attempted to keep the
 Clinton coke charge secret.

 Speaking on condition of anonymity, one Fox on-air personality told Inside
 Cover, "It's scary the way Gennifer Flowers has been kept off the air."

 Two weeks ago, a tape of Inside Cover's Aug. 6 interrogation of Flowers was
 shared with the Washington Post, which has thus far declined to report the
 Clinton coke charge.

 Late last week, the same recording was shared with investigative reporters
 for two other major American dailies. On Friday the New York Post mentioned
 only briefly that America's President has been hit with a credible cocaine
 allegation, tagging the news onto yet another story about the unsourced Bush
 drug rumors.

 The second newspaper has yet to go to press since being provided with the
 Flowers' tape.

 Fox News Sunday's Tony Snow has reported Flowers' charge twice, re-running
 tape of her exchange with Hannity on Brit Hume's Thursday night FNC newscast
 and on his own regular Sunday morning broadcast.

 All other major American news outlets have embargoed news that the President
 of the United States has been hit with serious allegations from a highly
 credible witness that he abused cocaine while chief law enforcement officer
 of Arkansas.

  The Full Moon of Virgo will occur this evening.  For clandestine
Luciferian Masons (CLuMs) the zodiac sign of Virgo (the virgin) is
important for women in general, in their states of young girl, mother, and
old woman.  In many cases human sacrifices of women are carried out by
CLuMs during this zodiac sign.

  This was the case with the death of Princess Diana who was killed by
CLuMs on August 31, 1997, just before the New Moon of Virgo (9/1/97).
CLuM human sacrifices are also sometimes synchronized with the New
Moon, or the Full Moon, according to the sacrificial timetable of the
Temple of Solomon, the central object of Masonic mythology.

  As far as the French police investigation itself is concerned, the fact
that they have not publicly identified the white Fiat that collided with
Diana's car shows that they are unable or unwilling to conduct a thorough
inquiry, no matter how many "millions of dollars" they have spent.

  Diana's death occurred 109 years to the day after the first murder
attributed to the CLuM serial killer Jack the Ripper.  The number 109
contains the digits of 19, a reminder of the 19-year Metonic cycle of the
moon, another regulator of CLuM outrages.  The Ripper's first victim was
Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, killed on August 31, 1888.

  It is a little known fact, but the name "Polly" is a variant of the name
"Mary".  The combinations "Mary Ann", or "Marianne", or "Pollyanna",
etc., are common because St. Anne was the mother of the Blessed Virgin
Mary:  "Mary Ann" simply means "Mary, daughter of Anne".

  As CLuM luck would have it, on October 1, 1993, a young girl named
Polly Klaas was abducted from her house in Petaluma, CA, and killed.  It is
a little known fact, but Polly's full name was Polly Hannah Klaas.  "Klaas",
of course, is the Dutch version of "Nicholas".  Therefore, Jack the Ripper's
first victim, Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, had the same name form as Polly
Hannah Klaas, or "Mary Ann Nicholas".  Moreover, as CLuM luck would
have it, Polly Klaas' mother is named Eve Nichol.

  Petaluma, CA, is located in Sonoma County, just north of San
Francisco Bay.  "SONoMA" is a Baconian cypher for "Mason".  "San
Francisco Bay" is an anagram for "Say Francis Bacon", a reminder of the
very important CLuM Sir Francis Bacon, the author of "The New Atlantis"
and one of the real authors of the Shakespearean works.  Another
landmark near Petaluma is the Jack London State Historical Park, a
reminder of JACK the Ripper, the CLuM serial killer active in LONDON.

  Polly Hannah Klaas' murder happened on the day after the Full Moon
of the Blue Moon of September 1993.  That Blue Moon had marked the
signing of the first accord between the Zionist entity, the so-called State of
Israel, and the PLO.  This event had taken place on the 13th day of
September 1993 at the White House.  It seems that poor Polly Klaas,
"America's child", was chosen as a sacrificial victim for the success of that
CLuM agreement.

  The Polly Hannah Klaas case began to be "solved" by the police two
Full Moons later on November 28, 1993, when a woman named Dana Jaffe
called them and said that some items related to Polly had been found on her
property on Pythian Road.  "Pythian" is one of the names of Apollo, the
sun god, a Greco-Roman version of Lucifer/Satan.  "Pythian" refers to the
Python, a large snake, or dragon, that Apollo had slain at Delphi, according
to Greek mythology.  "Pythia", of course, was also the title of the woman
fortune teller at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

  The name "Dana Jaffe" is also very significant.  The main Masonic
hero, Hiram Abiff, was a "son of a widow", a woman of the tribe of
Naphtali (Kings 7:14), or the tribe of Dan (2 Chronicles 2:14).  The tribe of
Dan had settled two areas of Canaan:  one at the northern border and
another along the coast, where the cities of Jaffa (Joppa) and Tel Aviv are.
Therefore, the CLuM meaning of "Dana Jaffe" is "a woman of the tribe of
Dan from the Jaffa area".  (Remember also the case of "Dana" Plato.)

  Eventually a "usual suspect", the career criminal Richard Allen Davis,
was charged with Polly's murder and sentenced to death in 1996.  "Davis",
of course, means "a descendant of David", keeping things tightly in the
family of Mary and Anne, who were also descendants of King David,
according to the Bible.

[CTRL] Fwd: [RuMills] RUMOR MILL NEWS IS BACK!

1999-08-26 Thread Kris Millegan





From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

=
 RUMOR  MILL  NEWS AGENCY==
=
Dateline: 08.25.99

Rumor Mill News is Back!

   And Just in Time!!!

Rumor Mill News has been in Colorado since the first week of August.
Supposedly, we were there attending the Global Sciences Congress. The
Global Sciences Congress always features speakers at the cutting edge of
technology, medicine, spiritual discoveries, political intrigue, alien
technology, UFO coverups, government crimes and corruption as well as
whistle blowers from all walks of government and corporate life.

Because of the caliber of people who speak at Global Sciences and the level
of education and influence of the members of Global Science, it is not
unusual to see dozens of people who are probably CIA, FBI, DEA, ETC! This
year was no exception.

This particular time, RMNews was quite happy to have so many G-men and
women present. At least six of them bought tickets to my lecture on the death
of JFK, Jr.; and at $20.00 a ticket, they definitely helped pay my gas bill
back
to California!

The lecture on the death of JFK, Jr. is called "Web of Lies". It was a three
hour lecture recorded on two 90 minutes tapes. Before I gave the lecture, I
was  briefed for many hours by  civilian representatives of Faction Three as
well as by the Military arm of Faction Three.

Those of you who have been following Rumor Mill News know that on
Wednesday, July 14... two days before JFK, Jr. was killed, RMNews sent out
an article which stated that President Clinton has been driven insane and we
must prepare for wild retaliations.

Two days after JFK, Jr. was killed, RMNews Sources gave us information
that caused a modicum of fear to rise in us. And to top it off, they told us
we
could not put it out over the Rumor Mill. This violated every rule of staying
alive! All of us who release inside information know that the moment you get
something, you put it out to as many people as possible... to stay alive.
Because I was told not to put out my information over the Rumor Mill, I did
the next best thing.

I sent it to other investigative reporters and radio hosts. I did this for two
reasons. In case anything happened to me, I wanted people to know why. The
second reason was to time stamp the information so no one could accuse
RMNews of stealing it from another reporter.

After about a week I went back to my Sources and asked permission to put
out the information they gave me. Not only was permission denied, I was told
to "STAND DOWN", until further notice., and so, RMNews stopped being put out.

Permission to go back online was given to me at the Global Sciences
Congress. It was given to me after hours of meetings and briefings. I now
have permission to tell you many things, but I still do now have permission
to put the JFK, Jr. information out over the online Rumor Mill.

I assure you, the information I have been given has not been covered on the
Internet. If you want to know what I have been told, you will either have to
wait until the booklet is finished, or you can buy the three hour lecture  for
$20.00... this price includes shipping.

To order  the two-tape set,  call 1.800.400.1999
Or  mail a $20.00 check to
Rumor Mill News, P.O. Box 1784 Aptos, CA 95001.

I am taking the tapes to my duplicator on Friday.  If you are going to order
the two tape set, send me an E-mail. That way  I can have enough made up
so that all orders can be filled and in the mail by the end of the week. I
assure
you, you will be shocked by what is contained in these tapes. One other
famous person has recently died. This  death is explained.

Once you have listened to the  tapes, I am confidant that you will agree with
me that the story my Sources gave me is the true one. All the other stories
have been put out to obfuscate the issue and create a "Web of Lies" that will
forever shroud his death in mystery.

* * * * *


During the time that Rumor Mill News was in Denver, there was absolutely
no time to listen to television, radio or to get on the Internet. You can't
imagine how refreshing and revitalizing that was!

When RMNews finally got back in the "groove" of things we discovered that
the major story in the headlines was that George W. Bush is being hounded
by the media dogs regarding his use or possible use of cocaine.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Before RMNews left for Denver, G.W. or "Dub" as his family calls him, was the
"darling" of the media, and the expected winner of the Republican nomination
for President.

Now, the media dogs are hounding him and like attack pitbulls. What
happened? Why did they go from fawning and licking his heels to shredding
his character?

Who owns the media?

If you trace back who owns stock in the media  and who the major advertisers
are  you will find many of the same names that are usually

The Holocaust is the political weapon the Israeli politicos and their
American sycophants use to silence and enfeeble opponents of their
genocidal pogram against the Arabs. The holocaust (small 'h') is a bestial
period of human history that often gets subsumed by the grander, political

[CTRL] Fwd: Indonesian Power Deal Fails Time Warner Deal W/Brown

1999-08-26 Thread Kris Millegan





According to the Financial Times, the Indonesian power company
PLN has made only a partial payment on the Paiton electric power
plant.  The partial payment leaves the PLN company millions of
dollars short in repaying loans on the U.S. backed power plant.

On August 20, 1999, PLN power President, Adhi Satriya confirmed
that the payment for Paiton would be only one third the
contracted amount.

Paiton is owned by Edison Mission Energy and General Electric in
partnership with Japan's Mitsui and the Indonesian firm of PT
Batu Hitam Perkasa, which is controlled by Hashim
Djojohadikusumo.  Hashim Djojohadikusumo is the brother in law
of former Indonesian dictator Suharto's youngest daughter.

It is expected that Edison Mission Energy will to go to
arbitration court with the Indonesian power company in order to
seek repayment for the $2.6 billion power plant.  Standard 
Poor's warned that the insufficient payment by PLN could lead
Paiton to default on $180 million in secured, triple-C rated,
bonds.

According to the Financial Times, PLN President Satriya also
threatened to take the owners of Paiton to court over corruption
allegations involving kickbacks to the Suharto family.

According to former PLN President, Djiteng Marsudi, "corruption"
raged out of control in the Paiton power project.  Djiteng has
said he was "forced" to sign unfavorable power plant contracts
under pressure from Suharto's children and associates.

Softwar has discovered that U.S. officials were also concerned
about the corruption inside the Paiton power plant.  Documents
obtained from the U.S. Commerce Dept., and the Overseas Private
Investment Corp. (OPIC) shows that U.S. government officials
were aware of the corruption.  According to the documents,
Suharto's daughter and her brother in law Hashim were cut in for
"2.5%" of the Paiton power plant.

Of course, one would think the default of billions of Indonesian
power projects should make the news.  However, you will not see
this story on CNN nor read about it in Time magazine...  And the
reason for such poor news coverage may surprise you.

According to a recently discovered letter from the personal
files of Ron Brown, Time-Warner sought and obtained Secretary
Brown's help in an exclusive "recording" deal with Indonesia.
According to Commerce Dept. documents, Suharto gave Time-Warner
a sweetheart deal in CD production and distribution.

In a 1995, Ron Brown wrote a letter to Hartarto Sastrosurarto,
Indonesian Minister for Trade and Industry.  According to Brown,
"we would welcome the conclusion of the negotiations on phase II
of the auxiliary dredging equipment project with Ellicott
Machine Corporation and on Time Warner's investment in
Indonesia's recording sector."

letter attached below:


OCT 27, 1995

His Excellency
Hartarto Sastrosurarto
Coordinating Minister for Trade and Industry
Jakarta, Indonesia

Dear Mr. Minister:

It was a pleasure to meet with you here in Washington in
mid-September, especially as Indonesia celebrates is 50th
anniversary of independence.  I especially enjoyed participating
with you in the "Opportunity Indonesia 95" event on September
13, which is a good example of how to promote new trade and
investment opportunities between our private sector companies.
Clearly, Indonesia's geographic location as an Asian gateway,
its expanding economy, and focus on technology development have
attracted many companies to take a new look at trade and
investment opportunities in Indonesia.  I trust that the
American firms which took part in "Opportunity Indonesia 95"
will play a leading role in promoting further bilateral economic
cooperation and development by establishing long-term
partnerships with businesses in your country.

In this regard, the development of the Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperation has proven to be a powerful stimulus in each
member's economy, as the annual summits have focused the world's
attention on the Pacific Rim's potential to be a supplier of,
and market for, products and services the world over.  However,
we know that it is important that intentions and commitments
translate into contracts.

I would like to bring to your attention a number of project
involving American companies which seem to be stalled, including
several independent power projects.  These projects include the
Tarahan power project, which involves Southern Electric; the gas
powered projects in East Jave and East Kalimantan, which
involves Enron; the Invicta power project, which involves
British Gas with Raytheon as engineering/construction company
and General Electric as the power equipment supplier for the
project; and Ormat's geothermal power project at the Lahendong
site.  I know that privatization of power generation is an
objective of the Indonesian Government and these projects would
aid significantly in achieving that goal.  In addition, we would
welcome the conclusion of the negotiations on phase II of

Re: [CTRL] Banishment

1999-08-26 Thread Howard R. Davis III

 -Caveat Lector-

When I was doing research on the Holocaust I read about half of Hitler's
Mein Kamph. I got a copy from the local library. Reading it was important to
me in understanding clearly Hitler's motivations. In later discussing some
of my findings with "deniers" I found, to my surprize, that they had never
read the book. I believe that some of their assumptions would be put in
great peril if they were to read the book. For instance, one claimed to me
that Hitler invaded Poland in order to protect Germany from Soviet
communism. Of course, reading Mein Kamph would have made a great shambles of
this theory, since Hitler over and over writes about the need for Germany to
expand eastwardly, etc. (To say nothing of the 1920 Battle of Warsaw and the
1939 Ribbentrop agreement). It seems to me that banning books is one of the
crimes of Nazism and banning books is really a tribute to Hitler.

Howard Davis


 BERLIN (Reuters) - German media giant Bertelsmann Friday pulled
 Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf from its BOL online book store after
 being accused in Germany of selling hate literature.

 BOL's German and Dutch services have never sold Hitler's
 autobiographical manifesto, written in prison several years
 before he led the Nazi party to power in 1933 and full of
 anti-Semitic tirades, because the book is banned there.

 But BOL said it would stop offering the book on its English and
 French services to prevent Germans buying it anyway.

2) Reality is Black and White, Good Versus Evil - no outside group is
  valid, "no room for interpretation or deviation".
3) Elitist Mentality - they are the chosen ones.
4) Group Will Over Individual Will -"the self must submit to the group";
  "individuality is bad"; "conformity is good".
5) Strict Obedience: Modeling the Leader - the leader is imitated by all.
6) Happiness through good performance - behaviors are controlled by
  shaming, competition; friendships are discouraged.
7) Manipulation through fear - "each group has its devil... around the
  corner waiting" to kill you or whatever.
8) Emotional highs and lows - from great productivity to crashing
  (always due to the individual's inadequacies, according to the cult).
9) Changes in Time Orientation - pre-cult life is bad, the present is
  crucial (pressure to meet quotas, etc.) the future is known by the
  leader, reward or punishment, the world will end, etc.
10) No Way Out - "there is never a legitimate reason for leaving"
A) Cults also use "love bombing," lots of flattery early on to "suck
  people in." This disappears later once a person is in deeper.

 -Caveat Lector-

While this is a fascinating article on crime, I find it also lacking in an
acceptance of secretive-stalking crimes, probably also related to drug use
and other outside syndicate situations.  It does not take into account
violence such as stalking violence.  It does not take into account Intel
agencies violence either (like Waco) -- and, as one person on list brought up
-- it may not include some elements of corportate crimes.

I am convinced that we have a very highly violent society now and very
possibly with the wrong perpetrators being targeted.  I don't believe that
the hidden agendas are public enough yet for us to be able to judge a lot of
so-called criminal behaviors.  And the U.S. body of law, Consitution as well
as subjects bearing upon human behavior (psychology, sociology, education,
sexuality) may all need new interpretations once more of the hidden agenda is
revealed.  I hope this is sooner rather than later.  Small city cults are
probably making some of this information available to their members in some
forms these days.

1. One stone to kill three birds: The hunt for O97M_TRIPLICATE
-
O97M_TRIPLICATE is a macro virus that infects Microsoft Word, Excel and
PowerPoint data files. Even though we have added detection and cleaning for
O97M_TRIPLICATE several months ago, we continue to receive reports of new
infections.
This week, O97M_TRIPLICATE even made it back to Trend's "10 Most Prevalent

to update their product to the latest Trend pattern file and to scan their
system for the O97M_TRIPLICATE virus. In addition, we advise all our users
to scan all Microsoft Office files before opening them.

A detailed description of O97M_TRIPLICATE is available on Trend's website

Now that it has been one week since the appearance of PE_KRIZ, we would like
to inform our customers that we still have not received any reports of
infection from our customers.
At this point, PE_KRIZ seems to be another virus, very similar to
PE_EMPEROR, that received too much media attention but didn't do any damage.
Even though PE_KRIZ is not likely to spread widely (or at all), we want to
let our customers know that Trend pattern file 574 or later can detect this
virus.

W97M_SHANKAR (a.k.a. Marker.O) is a very simple macro virus, which infected
several users in the past two month.
While it has no destructive payload, W97M_SHANKAR displays a message box
during the month of July.

For a detailed virus description, please visit our website at:

Save Our Canal!
by Admiral Thomas H. Moorer

The control of the Panama Canal is far more important to our national
security than is the control of the Kiel Canal to that of Germany, or the
Suez Canal to that of Great Britain. Its protection is more essential than
the protection of any part of our coast or any of our seaports, however
important, because it is the key to the protection of many seaports and
thousands of miles of coast-line.

Henry L. Stimson
Former Secretary of War (1913)

The United States appears to be sleep-walking on a course to sure
destruction, and America’s leaders, who have plotted this course, appear to
be completely oblivious to the mortal danger they are leading us into.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the imminent giveaway of the U.S.
Canal in Panama. In just a few months, unless the American people raise a
terrific outcry, this strategic waterway, so vital to our economy and
national security, will be turned over to Panama. But Panama, a tiny country
of only 2.8 million people, does not even have an army. It has the capacity
neither to defend nor maintain this valuable transoceanic thoroughfare.

Is Washington
'corrupt beyond repair'?
Former defense contractor
says system is 'broken'




By Jon E. Dougherty
© 1999 WorldNetDaily.com

A former defense contractor who once had his life threatened by a defense
contracting official in the presence of government lawyers says, Washington
is "too corrupt to fix" and is being "run by a bunch of 22-year-old staffers
who think the whole thing's funny."
Bill White, who has spent 18 years in and around Washington, D.C., told
WorldNetDaily he has witnessed the corruption "up close and personal" after
the Department of Defense (DOD) "squeezed" his defense firm out of business.

But White, who said it takes "in the neighborhood of 10 years" to build even
a small defense contracting company because of intense DOD requirements,
said the loss of his firm, Logics Inc., is "just a symptom of the overall
problem with corruption in Washington, D.C."

"I wanted to tell my story because it's not just about losing my company,"
he said. "It's much bigger than that. The whole system operates this way,
and that's the way they want it. There is no system of checks and balances
anymore."

His experience began in 1989 when his company -- an electronics
manufacturing firm -- began applying for -- and winning -- modest defense
contracts. White said he bid on military projects because, as a minority
firm, his company qualified for an accelerated payment program. White was
qualified for the program because he is ethnically Hispanic, though he
adopted his stepfather's Anglo name years ago.

Logics' first contract came in the form of a $3.2 million award to build
satellite communications equipment for Navy warships. White, who is a
meticulous organizer, hyper-trained his staff and streamlined his operation
in order to make it as efficient as possible and, hence, more appealing to
government contracting officers who sought to get the most for the
taxpayer's money.

When it was all over, the company won immediate praise from government and
DOD officials, and even navy personnel who were tasked with using his firm's
equipment called to express their gratitude.

"We were getting calls from naval field personnel telling us how well our
gear was performing," White said. "We were also recognized by the Army for
the seven products we had built that were used in Persian Gulf war weapons
systems." He added, "We shipped over 20,000 weapons systems and never once
had a failure."

After being named the Pentagon's small business contractor of the year,
White continued to pursue military construction bids, winning Army contracts
to build 16,000 copies of a component to keep TOW missiles from misfiring,
an upgraded missile launch control panel, and 64 copies of a critical
component for the Firefinder radar system on the Army's Multiple Rocket
Launch System (MLRS).

But just as the years of painstaking effort necessary to comply with
government defense contractor specifications were finally beginning to pay
off, White said the government threw him a curve ball.

In a series of bids won by Logics, the government provided White's company
with "flawed" technical data packages -- packages of information listing the
government's particular specifications for the construction of key system
components. White said each company "has to build the exact same component
because they are all supposed to be interchangeable" in the military's
weapons systems, no matter who builds them.

The flawed technical data caused Logics several production delays and
unnecessary cost overruns on a few Army contracts while trying to
re-engineer the mistakes. And, under government procurement rules, a
contractor can file a claim for reimbursement when he incurs extra costs as
a direct result of "government error or inaction." So White was confident
his government-caused, out-of-pocket expenses would be taken care of.

But the Pentagon and the Defense Department were slow to reimburse Logics
for the unnecessary development costs. So slow, in fact, that before Logics
received reimbursement on their first claim -- some 19 months later -- the
company had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

He now says he believes the flawed specifications in the data packages were
more than simply the result of incompetence -- a problem rife in the Clinton
administration's Department of Defense. He thinks the data was intentionally
misrepresented and erroneous, especially after learning from an admiral in
the Pentagon that the "unofficial rule" within the defense procurement
bureaucracy is to squeeze out small contractors like Logics -- "no matter
what."

In the meantime, White said Logics continued development work because he
wanted to keep the contracts, but the company soon ran into other problems.

For example, he said, the components

Trouble Ahead

Ironically, 20 years ago we were in better shape militarily than we are now.
Today, unfortunately, the fears and concerns of those of us who have had
military experience over a great number of years in a great many different
situations have been absolutely confirmed. I have been honored to serve as
this nation’s commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, commander in chief of
the Atlantic and the Atlantic Fleet, Chief of Naval Operations, and Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I truly cannot remember a time when I have
been more concerned about the security of our country. That remark may seem
strange, considering the history of World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and
the Vietnam War. But it is a statement I will stand behind for the following
reasons.

Since 1812 no war has been fought against a foreign enemy on American soil.
This is a very long time ago. I am an old sailor now, but I know trouble
when I see it, and I see big trouble in Panama, trouble that could evolve
quickly into a conflict in our own hemisphere with worldwide implications.
As I stated earlier, the impending transfer of the Panama Canal to the
Panamanian government, under the circumstances which now exist, amounts to
handing over control of the Canal to Red China, an aggressive, brutal,
expansionist, totalitarian regime that has shown, by word and deed, that it
is our enemy.

China’s penetration of Panama is of utmost significance to the United
States, but the Clinton Administration and its media friends have turned a
blind eye to this dangerous development. In light of what has already become
public concerning Beijing’s massive payoffs to Clinton-Gore and the
Democratic National Committee, and President Clinton’s subsequent radical
changes of policy to benefit the PRC, it is fair to ask if this willful
blindness to so clear a danger is another quid pro quo for Chinese cash.

The Chinese penetration of Panama has been effected primarily through an
entity known as the Panama Ports Company, a front corporation for
Hutchison-Whampoa Limited, a Communist Chinese-controlled company owned by
Hong Kong billionaire Dr. Li Ka-shing. Dr. Li’s business empire has long
been intertwined with enterprises that front for the Communist military and
intelligence arms of the People’s Republic of China. Ten percent of his
Panama Ports Company is owned by China Resources, the commercial arm of
China’s Ministry of Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Two years ago, on July 16, 1997, Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) was quoted in
the South China Morning Post as stating that China Resources was "an agent
of espionage — economic, military, and political — for China." Shen Jueren,
the Communist official who heads China Resources, and Li Ka-shing are both
partners in the Riady family’s Hong Kong Chinese Bank. Dr. Li is also a
principal in the PRC’s huge China Telecom, and the China International Trust
and Investment Corporation (CITIC), a ministry-level conglomerate with
global assets of $21 billion run by Chinese "princeling" Wang Jun. As
chairman of Poly Group, Wang Jun also serves as the PRC’s main arms dealer
to Communist regimes, terrorists, and rogue states. Nevertheless, Shen
Jueren and Wang Jun, like many other notorious Red Chinese agents bearing
campaign gifts, were welcome guests at the Clinton-Gore White House.

[CTRL] Save Our Canal! China Takeover

1999-08-26 Thread Bard

 -Caveat Lector-

China Takeover

In reality, if we allow this suicidal course to continue, we will be
transferring our strategic canal not to Panama, but to whichever power moves
in to fill the vacuum. And there is no longer any cause to wonder which
power that will be. Over the past several years, the People’s Republic of
China has made unmistakably clear its designs upon the Panama Canal. In
fact, it has already moved in and begun to take control of this critically
important asset.

Yes, that is true; it is one of the great untold stories that have been
completely ignored by our news media. If we proceed along our present
course, by the end of this year, on December 31st, Communist China will
become the de facto new owners and rulers of the Panama Canal. This is the
same Red China that has been so heavily involved in massive espionage
efforts to steal our satellite, missile, and nuclear weapons technology; the
same totalitarian regime that massacred thousands of students at Tiananmen
Square, yet still denies this atrocity; the same Red China that is supplying
terrorist regimes such as Iran, Syria, Libya, and North Korea with missiles
and weapons of mass destruction; the same Beijing thugs who are threatening
Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines, who are helping Pakistan’s nuclear
weapons program, and who call the United States their "number one enemy";
the same Red China that has so thoroughly penetrated our government and our
military research laboratories during the Clinton Administration.

Over the past year, the American people began to get a glimpse of the
enormity and gravity of the multitude of ongoing Clinton scandals known
collectively as "Chinagate." However, Clinton’s allies in the media have
been only too willing to help the White House divert attention from these
serious matters. Thus, the public has remained largely uninformed on these
vital issues, and we have not seen a sustained, determined attempt in
Congress to hold accountable those individuals responsible for some of the
most devastating betrayals of our national security.

As injurious as the many Chinagate treacheries have been to our nation’s
security, the impending surrender of our Panama Canal is more serious still.
Tragically, Americans have come to take the Canal and its myriad benefits
for granted. One of the great engineering marvels of the world, the Canal is
not only a tribute to the genius, vision, determination, and political will
of an earlier generation of Americans, but a crucially important artery and
choke point for our Navy and merchant marine vessels. Its value far exceeds
the $32 billion we have invested in it over the years, though that price tag
alone is reason enough to question the sanity of those who are so determined
to relinquish this valuable property.

Over 13,000 commercial vessels transit the Panama Canal every year with some
190 million long tons of cargo. In the past year our Naval vessels used the
Canal countless times. This 51-mile waterway cuts 8,000 miles off the trip
around the southern tip of South America, saving as much as two weeks of
transport time. In warfare, time means lives, and that much time can mean
the difference between defeat and victory. The Panama Canal has played a
crucial role in World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm,
and many other conflicts. I find it unfathomable that this tremendous
asset — which was bought at such a cost in gold, lives, sweat, and labor at
the beginning of this century, and that is still so necessary to our nation’
s safety — could be surrendered nonchalantly now at the close of this
tumultuous century.

[CTRL] sad news for Brit patriots

1999-08-26 Thread Andrew Hennessey

 -Caveat Lector-

The papers are full of the latest independent Canadian tests on Gulf War
troops from the UK who, it is found, have been *severley* poisoned by
Depleted Uranium
shells.
The tone of the papers indicate cover ups at the highest level in the face
of all previously submitted evidence - including the death and deformity
rate of Iraqi children.
Now there is a clear set of data with which the veterans can bring a lawsuit.
The Ministry of Defence actively denies that anything it did caused a problem.
Meanwhile, dying soldiers could be easily comforted by the cash value of a
Belize passport - a Whitehall scam sells British backdoor entry via Belize
for £36,000 sterling and are reported to be very healthy on the proceeds.

Elsewhere it becomes clear why papers have been running rubbish stories on
Diana, eg. seedy rugby player has a story about Diana 'masturbating' [last
weekend tabloid] - and why 'Quality' papers tell us that the establishment
has forgotten Diana by not marking the event and court rulings that Diana
just had a car smash.
UK landmine enterprises it has been reported - are as healthy as ever ...
one paper reports a 'betrayal' of Diana's work.

 1.  A-albionic Name Taken in Vain
 ^

 Our name was taken in vain in the subject article by Al Hidell which
 appeared in _Paranoia:  The Conspiracy Reader_ Issue 21, Fall 1999 (page
 28), PO Box 1041, Providence, RI, 02901 [$20.00/year]:

 "The A-albionic conspiracy research group takes the LaRouche viewpoint
 a step further.  In their view, Britain is indeed a major force working
 for world domination.  However, they believe that there is another force
 battling Her Majesty behind-the-scenes:  the Vatican.  In the case of the
 Balkan conflict, it is interesting to note that the British are on the
 side of war, while the Vatican has repeatedly condemned the violence."

 Lloyd Responds:  "Al Hidell" has it totally wrong on this one!  The
 Vatican has not condemned the Balkans conflict other than to urge peace as
 usual!  When one compares the Pope's shrill condemnation of the Gulf War
 (no blood for oil) backed-up by his US Bishops shouting the same, one can
 only presume that the Pope supports the Balkans war as a chess move in his
 Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals [EU] program and the Church's
 long-time rivalry with and desire to dominate the Eastern Orthodox Church!
 This Virgin Mary obsessed Pope has long cherished the Fatima prophesy of
 "converting Russia" to Roman Catholicism.  Further, the Balkans war
 conforms nicely to the Pope's proposed alliance with Islam..."better a
 Saracen than a Gnostic" or the geopolitics of "faith versus modernism".

 Our analysis indicates that Britain switched sides in the Balkans mess
 [under the cover of putting the Labor Party in power] in a Geopolitical
 judo-move designed to array China and Russia against America.  The
 original Bush-British policy was to support Belgrade in opposition to the
 Vatican-German-EU policy of supporting Catholic Croatia and Islamic
 Bosnia.  After the Clinton victory in America, Britain's policy became
 untenable and had to be abandoned.  Now, Britain in a clever judo-move is
 trying to induce America and the European Union (EU) to over-extend and
 crash on the rocks of a renewed anti-American block lead by Russia and
 China even while attempting to enshrine NATO as the overlord of the EU.

 It is very important to note that Britain was able to maintain its
 anti-Iraq policy [supported by the Queen herself in an address to Congress
 after the Gulf War] by the clever inside-outside strategy of supporting
 the impeachment drive within America and offering the friendly hand of
 fellow left-liberal Tony Blair in friendship from without.  In spite of a
 disinclination and Vatican opposition, Clinton renewed and preserved the
 genocidal hot/cold war against Iraq.

 Hidell has a section head on page 28 that sums-up the essence of his
 misconceptions:  "The US:  Dominated or Dominant".

 Lloyd Responds:

 Of course, the US is dominant as the only "super power" nation state.
 The question should be, which social/economic power organs are dominant in
 determining its policies at this time?

 A-albionic thinks the Clinton Administration has primarily functioned
 at the behest of the Vatican based on Clinton's Georgetown-Jesuit-CIA
 introduction to world politics under the tutelage of Jesuit disinformation
 and propaganda agent, the Irishman Carroll Quigley.*  This situation was
 made possible by the connivance of the Rockefeller interests which are the
 long-time rivals of the Queen's "Empire of the City" financiers for world
 domination of natural resources, international trade, governments, and the
 major Corporations.

 COVER-UP
 EXCLUSIVE BY GREG SWIFT

 THE Government has been accused of a cover-up after new evidence
 emerged proving that British soldiers suffered massive radiation
 poisoning during the Gulf War.

 Tests 500,000-times more accurate than any previously conducted
 have shown beyond doubt that servicemen and women were exposed to
 terrifying levels of depleted uranium after it was used by the
 Allies to crush Saddam Hussein's army.

 The revelation comes as Gulf War veterans have accused former
 Armed Forces Minister Doug Henderson of misleading Parliament
 about the Ministry of Defence's knowledge of the poisoning
 suffered by British troops.

 The veterans claim that at a defence select committee meeting on
 April 28 this year, Mr Henderson told members that the MoD had
 not received any evidence of depleted uranium (DU) tests from
 former soldiers.

 But, they say, he neglected to mention a meeting between himself
 and the veterans on March 18, attended by Deputy Prime Minister
 John Prescott, at which evidence that 30 British veterans had
 tested positive for DU poisoning was presented.

 The Government has repeatedly insisted that troops who handled
 DU-tipped weapons during the 1991 conflict were not at risk of
 radiation poisoning.

 It has always insisted there has been no point testing British
 veterans because DU is passed from the system naturally within a
 few weeks and there was no risk from any contaminated dust with
 which troops may have come into contact.

 More than 700,000 rounds of DU-coated missiles and bullets were
 fired during the conflict. Produced from nuclear waste, the DU
 gives weapons amazing armour-piercing powers.

 But critics have argued that they are indiscriminate weapons of
 mass destruction which should be banned. Confirmation that
 veterans were poisoned and accusations that the MoD has
 deliberately covered up its knowledge of the facts, has led to
 calls for a public inquiry into how the Gulf War Syndrome issue
 has been handled by successive governments.

 Professor Malcolm Hooper, a Government-appointed scientific
 advisor investigating Gulf-related illnesses, warned: "These
 results are unequivocal and extremely worrying. The MoD has
 insisted there is no danger from DU but these results say
 otherwise.

 "This is a cock-up fast becoming a cover-up and unless the MoD
 says it is prepared to act swiftly then it must be accused of
 covering this up."

 Earlier this year, 20 veterans sent urine samples to a Canadian
 geochemist for detailed analysis. As The Express has already
 exclusively revealed, two previous tests conducted by respected
 scientists indicated DU poisoning.

 But the mass spectrometer tests conducted by Patricia Horan at
 the Memorial University of Newfoundland are up to 500,000 times
 more accurate than the earlier tests.

 Only one veteran, Shaun Rusling, has so far received his results
 which show that eight years after the end of the Gulf War, he is
 still passing 60 per cent DU in his urine.

 The highly-toxic compound attacks the lungs, liver and bones and
 can cause genetic mutations which are passed on through the
 generations. Sufferers of DU poisoning are susceptible to cancers
 at any time, anywhere in the body. Mr Rusling, head of the
 National Gulf War Veterans and Families Association, yesterday
 demanded a public inquiry into DU poisoning.

 "As a former soldier, I can't feel anything other than let down,"
 said the 40-year-old father-of-two at his home in Hull. "The
 Government appears to be waiting until the vets die of cancer or
 until our levels of DU excretion are low enough for them to say
 that it is not a hazard.

 "To be excreting the amount of DU that I am now, eight years
 after the end of the war, shows that I was exposed to a massive
 amount at the time.

 "All we want is for the vets to be properly tested, to have the
 medical treatment that we have so far been denied and for an
 acceptance from the MoD that they know about DU poisoning and an
 apology.

 "I look at my nine-month-old baby and it breaks my heart because
 I know I will never see her grow up. I already have 23
 acknowledged illnesses as a result of my Gulf service and the DU
 poisoning means that I could develop something fatal at any time.


 "It is rather like sitting around having a gun held against your
 head and waiting for it to go off."

 Professor Hooper said: "Patricia Horan's data makes it imperative
 that we begin an exhaustive study of British veterans. The
 results are reliable and a thorough investigation is urgently
 required, not only of Gulf War veterans but also those troops who
 have served in Kosovo where the Allies also used DU-tipped
 weapons."

 Tam Dalyell, Labour MP for Linlithgow, also called for an
 inquiry. "Any one who has seen the results of these men will know
 what a parlous state they have been reduced to. We all want to

It was so astounding at the time. Thought some of it wasn't quite right but
the whole idea of it was intriguing. The book revolved around Uri Geller and
Israel and how he was sent from a planet called Hoover to uplift the Jewish

it opened up my mind a lot and got me wondering about how much power ETs

I suppose with Alternative 3 by Leslie Watkins and Close Encounters of the

I think there are a few thousand ETs living here ready and waiting to

One New Age channelling cult, above all the rest, has had a huge - very
disturbing influence on hundreds of thousands of devotees worldwide. Known
as 'The Nine', its disciples include cutting edge scientists,
multi-millionaire industrialists and leading politicians. This exclusive
extract based on The Startgate Conspiracy by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince
looks at the sinister origins of The Nine


I am the beginning. I am the end. I am the emissary. But the original time I
was on the Planet Earth was 34,000 of your years ago. I am the balance. And
when I say "I" - I mean because I am an emissary for The Nine. It is not I ,
but it is the group…We are nine principles of the Universe, yet together we
are one.


The declaration above is typical of the channelled pronouncements of the
Council of Nine – or just ‘The Nine’. They contain all the usual New Age
ingredients of grandiose statements, shaky grammar and unprovable
predictions. But unlike all the other channelling cults, that of The Nine
has serious clout. Perhaps the reason for this is that they claim to be the
Ennead, or the nine major gods of ancient Egypt (see panel). Or could there
be another reason, one that owes more to The X-Files than the Pyramid Texts?
Although The Nine may appear to be quintessentially a modern phenomenon, our
research uncovered its truly astonishing pedigree. In fact, the story begins
nearly 50 years ago, in a private research laboratory in Glen Cove, Maine,
called the Round Table Foundation, run by a medical doctor named Andrija
Puharich (also known as Henry K Puharich).Set up in 1948 to research the
paranormal, among the noted psychics studied at the Foundation were the
famous Irish medium Eileen Garrett and the Dutch clairvoyant Peter Hurkos
(Pieter van de Hirk).Prominent members included the influential philosopher
and inventor Arthur M Young and the socialite Alice Bouverie (née Astor).


In December 1952, Puharich brought into his laboratory an Indian mystic
named Dr D G Vinod, who began to channel The Nine or ‘the Nine Principles’.
In the months before Vinod returned to India, a group met regularly to hear
The Nine’s channelled wisdom. Never known for their modesty, The Nine
proclaimed themselves to be God, stating "God is nobody else than we
together, the Nine Principles of God."

Three years later, there appeared to be independent confirmation of their
existence. In Mexico, Puharich and Young met Charles and Lillian Laughead,
former Christian missionaries who were by then prominent in the burgeoning
UFO contactee movement. (For a description of their involvement in the
Dorothy Martin circle, see Jerome Clark’s ‘When Prophecy Failed’ in FT117.)
Back in the States a few weeks later, Puharich received a letter from the
Laugheads containing messages received by their group’s channeller. This
message also claimed to come from the Nine Principles, even – amazingly –
including references to the earlier communications transmitted through Dr
Vinod. Could The Nine possibly be for real?

Perhaps the answer is embedded in the career of Puharich himself. After
disbanding the Round Table Foundation in 1958, he worked for 10 years as an
inventor of medical devices and achieved international recognition as a
parapsychologist, most famously studying the Brazilian psychic surgeon,
Arigo (José Pedro de Freitas). But all that was to pale into insignificance
because,

BARR CALLS FOR NEW WACO HEARINGS
EVIDENCE RAISES NEW DOUBTS ABOUT GOVERNMENT TESTIMONY

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Representative Bob Barr (GA-7) today released a
letter urging House
Government Reform Committee Chair Dan Burton (R-IN) to convene new hearings
into the federal
siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco Texas that left David Koresh
and over 80 followers
dead in 1993.   Barr's letter is based on new evidence indicating
Administration officials may have lied
about whether shots were fired and about whether pyrotechnic or incendiary
devices were used
against the Davidians.

Barr also sent a letter to Attorney General Reno calling for an
investigation into whether federal agents
misled Congress in 1995 testimony that no shots were fired into the
compound, that no incendiary
devices were used, and that there was no military involvement in the
assault.

"Government admissions that incendiary devices were used at Waco by federal
agents raise serious
questions about who is responsible for the deaths of over 80 American men,
women, and children.
Additionally, this new evidence casts doubt on statements of Administration
officials, and could lead to
charges of perjury," said Barr.

"If federal officials have been lying about these elements of the siege,
their testimony on other matters
should also be examined.  New evidence indicates the government fired into
the compound, and that
military forces may have been involved in the assault.  These and other
matters deserve the attention
of Congress and the courts," Barr continued.

Barr, a former federal prosecutor, serves on the House Judiciary and
Government Reform
Committees.  He also served on the joint committee that investigated the
Waco attack in 1995.

 Our campaign of bombing and sanctions only strengthens Saddam

 Britain's secret wars

 Believe it or not, Britain is still at war. You may shrug. You
 may think that pocket wars have become the adventure tourism of
 Labour foreign policy. But British troops are engaging an enemy.
 They are bombing, killing and spending a million pounds a week.
 They have been fighting Saddam Hussein since he evicted United
 Nations weapons inspectors from Iraq last December. The
 inspectors remain out, and Saddam remains in.

 Small wonder the war has been kept secret. The last time it was
 mentioned in Parliament was in June. Enemy casualties are
 mounting. Last week 19 Iraqi civilians were reported killed in a
 single day, topping the 17 killed when a missile hit a Basra
 housing estate in January. Asked about the point of all this on
 radio this week, a Foreign Office Minister, Geoff Hoon, was
 reduced to the Vietnam "My Lai" defence, that civilians had to
 die for their own protection. Another minister, John Spellar, was
 asked about reports that he had just bombed the tomb of St
 Matthew, no less. He claimed ignorance of the report. Ministers,
 like their pilots, are fighting this war from above a thick cloud
 base.

 In a letter to the U.N. Security Council circulated Monday,
 Iraq's U.N. ambassador, Saeed Hasan, repeated Iraqi allegations
 that samples of the VX nerve agent were used to contaminate
 fragments of Iraqi warheads -- not to test equipment.

ACTION ALERT:
FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES, IRAQ DEATHS ARE THE OTHER GUY'S FAULT

August 26, 1999

Journalism best serves the common good when it focuses attention on social
problems that its audience can help to solve.  But establishment media
outlets like the New York Times are often far less interested in the ills
caused by the U.S. government than they are in the sins of distant
regimes--especially those that have been designated as official enemies.

On August 23, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan released his latest report
on the Iraqi oil-for food program, which allows Iraq to exchange a limited
amount of oil in return for humanitarian supplies to alleviate the
devastating effects of the U.N. sanctions on Iraq's population.

But while Annan criticized both the Iraqi government and the
U.S.-dominated U.N. Sanctions Committee for the program's shortcomings,
only his criticisms of Iraq were featured in the New York Times headline
the following day: "Do More to Aid Nourishment of Very Young, U.N. Tells
Iraq" was the title of U.N. correspondent Barbara Crossette's August 24
article.

That article illustrates the Times' skewed vision of what is newsworthy.
Of course, the Times has a responsibility to cover all aspects of Iraq's
ongoing humanitarian crisis, including the performance of the Iraqi
government in coping with U.N. sanctions. But as an American newspaper,
the Times might be expected to highlight the U.S. role in Iraq's plight.
For example, the U.N. Secretary-General wrote in his latest report that
"There has been a significant increase in the number of holds being placed
[by members of the U.N. Sanctions Committee] on applications" for
humanitarian supplies, "with serious implications for the implementation
of the humanitarian programme." Most of these holds were placed by the
United States, which dominates the Sanctions Committee.

But rather than focusing on that role, Crossette's piece mentions it only
in passing: Only one paragraph of her article discusses the U.S.-led
Sanctions Committee, which is criticized in the Secretary-General's
report, while Iraq's shortcomings in implementing the oil-for-food program
are discussed in more than a dozen paragraphs, as well as the headline.

Furthermore, Crossette tries to portray Annan's criticisms of Iraq as if
they were evidence of a sinister Iraqi conspiracy to deny food and
medicine to the country's children. For example, she refers to "mounting
evidence that [the Iraqis] have significantly stalled at least parts of a
relief program." In reality, the U.N. report is an assessment of Iraq's
performance on dozens of technical issues pertaining to the complicated
bureaucratic endeavor of providing food and medicine to a country of 22
million people.

Thus, while Crossette ominously quotes the U.N. report as saying that
"Large quantities of essential materials remain in storage," she omits the
subsequent sentence which reads: "The main explanation is the substantial
decline in staff with sufficient skills to verify, transport and use the
inputs ordered. The distribution rates are unlikely to improve without a
programme of in-service training."

For Crossette, the secretary general's report seems to be an opportunity
to score political points against Iraqi officials, who "continue to accuse
the United States of being entirely responsible for the deaths of
thousands of Iraqis under the sanctions."  The idea that it might be more
important for the New York Times to inform its readers--overwhelmingly
citizens of the U.S.--of what their government could do to help prevent
those thousands of deaths does not seem to have occurred to the reporter
or her editors.

ACTION: Please contact the New York Times and tell them to give more
coverage to the U.S. role in prolonging the humanitarian crisis in Iraq.
Let the editors know that downplaying American responsibility for a
situation that has killed at least 700,000--including hundreds of
thousands of children--is not acceptable.

FBI admits using pyrotechnic devices in Waco siege

DPS official says Army force present at Waco siege

08/26/99

By Lee Hancock / The Dallas Morning News

©1999, The Dallas Morning News

A congressional committee chairman vowed a "thorough investigation"
Wednesday as the FBI began its own inquiry and formally conceded that its
agents "may have fired" pyrotechnic devices on the last day of the 1993
Branch Davidian siege.

In Texas, the chairman of the Department of Public Safety said that federal
authorities also need to investigate and explain why members of the U.S.
Army's secret Delta Force anti-terrorist unit were present the day the
compound burned.

"Everyone involved knows they were there. If there is an issue, it was what
was their role at the time," said James B. Francis Jr. of Dallas. "Some of
the evidence that I have reviewed and been made aware of is very
problematical as to the role of Delta Force at the siege."

A Department of Defense document released under the federal Freedom of
Information Act confirmed that members of a classified Army Special Forces
unit were in the area when the FBI's hostage rescue team used tanks to
assault the compound with tear gas.

The document, written by one of two U.S. Army officers who met with Attorney
General Janet Reno to help the FBI persuade her to approve their tear gas
assault, stated that three Special Forces personnel observed "the assault .
. . and were cautioned not to video the operation."

A Justice Department spokesman said late Wednesday that he could not comment
on the matter. FBI officials could not be reached for comment.

Mr. Francis said Wednesday evening that Ms. Reno and FBI Director Louis
Freeh need to expand their new inquiry on the FBI's use of military
pyrotechnic tear gas to address "what the Delta Force did on April 19 and
whether their role was advisory or operational."

The Special Forces document, dated May 1993, states that the military
personnel sent did not give any technical advice and were warned about the
legal restrictions prohibiting U.S. military personnel from engaging in
civilian law-enforcement operations.

The four-page document was provided to The Dallas Morning News by a Tucson,
Ariz., lawyer who has filed federal lawsuits and lengthy Freedom of
Information Act requests to gather information on the siege.

Defense Department officials blacked out the names of the soldiers and their
unit before releasing the document because they said that information was a
military secret.

Not surprised

Danny O. Coulson, a former FBI official who served as founding commander of
the bureau's hostage rescue team, said Wednesday night that he had no
independent recollection of the Army Delta operators' presence but would not
be surprised if they were there.

"There's a possibility they may have come as observers, and they may have
put on FBI raid jackets so they could keep their cover," he said. "There was
a Delta team at the Atlanta prison riot. There was a military commando team
at the prison riot in Oakdale, La. They were used primarily for breaching
operations and as observers and advisers."

He said the deployment of the special operations units in both 1987 prison
riots required a formal presidential waiver of the federal Posse Comitatus
Act, which prohibits the use of military personnel in domestic incidents.

Mr. Coulson, who was deputy assistant FBI director during the siege and
helped supervise operations from Washington, was the FBI's tactical
commander at the Atlanta prison riot.

"I would be surprised if they did anything wrong," he said. "They come,
frankly, to learn. They come to watch us and learn in case they have to
operate in a similar environment or if, for some reason, they have to
operate here in the United States."

The FBI's hostage rescue team has regularly trained with Delta Force in the
past, Mr. Coulson and other officials have said.

Delayed admission

The bureau's acknowledgment that the FBI used military tear gas capable of
sparking fires came after two days

Bush Whackers Hit
Rudy rips press
over George W. drug issue

By KENNETH R. BAZINET and FRANK LOMBARDI
Daily News Staff Writers

Mayor Giuliani yesterday launched a blazing defense of embattled Texas Gov.
George W. Bush by denouncing the media as "voyeurs" for pressing the
presidential candidate on whether he has used cocaine. "Pursuing people's
personal lives has become a sickness, and it's going to hurt ultimately in
getting the right people in politics," Giuliani admonished reporters at City
Hall.


Texas Gov. George W. Bush

Bush, the Republican presidential front-runner, repeatedly has refused to
flatly admit — or deny — having used cocaine. But under intensified media
questioning last week, Bush indicated he hadn't used illegal drugs for at
least 25 years.

Giuliani — a former federal prosecutor who built his career on a tough
law-and-order philosophy — accused reporters of digging into candidates'
private lives "because it's fun and it makes news and it sells newspapers.

"I think this is voyeurism, not legitimate pursuit of issues," the Republican
mayor and probable U.S. Senate candidate fumed when asked about the Bush
situation.

The purpose of the media grilling, the mayor argued, is "hounding people who
are in public office."

Giuliani, who has praised, but not formally endorsed, Bush's candidacy,
argued that the campaign should focus on the job Bush has done as governor of
Texas and what Bush says he would do as President.

"I respect the decisions that Gov. Bush has made about his own privacy,"
Giuliani added.

Asked if he had used pot or cocaine, the mayor noted that he has answered
"no" to that question.

But he said he now regrets having answered because, "it's really none of your
business if I did or I didn't."

President Clinton — who as a candidate said he tried marijuana but didn't
inhale — also was drawn into the drug debate yesterday. At the President's
vacation retreat on Martha's Vineyard, White House spokesman Joe Lockhart
confirmed published reports that Clinton has denied ever using cocaine.

With First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton nursing a cold, the First Family spent
yesterday relaxing at their 20-acre oceanside Vineyard retreat.

The Clintons have no public events scheduled for the remainder of their
week-long stay on the Massachusetts resort island.

 OUCH! #29 -- August 18, 1999


 Chemical Industry Keeps You in the Dark

 IGNORANCE IS BLISS

 In 1990, after the Bhopal chemical plant disaster in India,
 Congress moved to help prevent similar accidents at facilities
 using extremely hazardous substances. Thousands of facilities
 that use certain flammable and toxic chemicals were required,
 under the Clean Air Act, to submit risk management plans to the
 Environmental Protection Agency and state and local governments.
 The deadline: June 21, 1999.

 The core idea was that the public has a right to know about the
 chemical hazards in their communities, and that local emergency
 response personnel need advance information to prepare for and
 prevent possible chemical accidents. In addition, by allowing
 researchers to collect and compare information about accident
 risks at existing facilities, safety advocates could set
 priorities for hazard reduction and determine which companies
 were taking necessary precautions and which companies were
 needlessly endangering their neighbors.

 All that prudent legislation has gone out the window with the
 passage of the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and
 Fuels Regulatory Relief Act (S. 880). Signed into law by
 President Clinton in early August, the new law blocks the EPA
 from posting on the Internet any information about a facility's
 "offsite-consequence analysis" (that's bureaucrateze for
 information describing how dangerous a facility currently
 is)--including worst-case scenarios involving toxic releases or
 explosions. Only "qualified researchers" may request access to
 that information, but they are explicitly prohibited from
 disseminating it in any form, under pain of criminal fines. The
 only thing companies have to do to demonstrate that they are
 taking any precautionary action is hold a meeting with local
 stakeholders sometime in the next six months, summarizing the
 issues around any worst-case scenario involving a local facility.


 So much for the public's right-to-know. This approach can be
 summarized as follows: if there is a danger of a chemical
 accident, the best solution is to keep the public in the dark as
 to how bad the risks are and what, if anything, is being done
 about it.

 This is a classic case of how moneyed interests, focused hard on
 a narrow concern, can easily defeat the broader interest when the
 public isn't paying attention. The chemical industry led the
 charge for S. 880, its influence rooted in $4 million in PAC
 donations, soft money and large individual ($200 and up)
 contributions to congressional candidates in 1997-98. Its allies
 in the food processing industry, oil and gas producers and
 refiners, and agricultural fertilizer sectors--all of which are
 also subject to the Clean Air Act--gave another $22.5 million.
 Three-quarters of that went to Republicans. The leading sponsors
 of S. 880 were Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), who raised $432,730
 from those industries between 1993 and 1998, and Rep. Tom Bliley
 (R-VA), recipient of $93,261. Against them were a host of
 consumer and environmental groups, none of them major campaign
 contributors.

 The chemical industry claims that S. 880 was needed to prevent
 dangerous information from falling into the hands of terrorists,
 giving them a road map of which plants to attack. Never mind that
 the EPA had specifically exempted any classified information from
 being released in facility risk management plans. And forget that
 from 1987 to 1996, there have been 600,000 accidents reported
 involving hazardous chemicals--and not one has been caused by
 terrorists. As it is, S. 880 contains no provisions to improve
 site security, reduce hazards through inherent safety, or harden
 facilities against attack.

 Two-hundred-fifty people, plant-workers as well as people living
 nearby, die each year from chemical accidents. The more the
 public knows about those risks, the more the pressure that proper
 precautions be taken. Which is apparently the last thing the
 chemical industry wants.

   GRUDGE MATCH LOOMING IN COURT AS JUDGE BLOCKS CLEVELAND
 VOUCHER PROGRAM FOR RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS

In a major setback to government funding of private, sectarian
schools, a U.S.  District Court has put the brakes on Cleveland's
voucher programming, saying that it violated the separation of church
and state.  The action put an immediate freeze on payments to the
parents of some 4,000 students covered by the four-year old program
who attend 56 private schools in the metropolitan area.  According to
the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspapers, more than half of those
students are in schools operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of
Cleveland.

As a result of the decision, parents who have children in the voucher
schools will be responsible for any tuition if they decide to keep
their youngsters enrolled.  Public school classes began yesterday, and
a spokesperson for the Cleveland school system that that there was "no
problem" in absorbing new students from the religious and private
schools.

U.S.  District Judge Solomon Oliver, Jr. ruled on Tuesday that "The
Cleveland program has the primary effect of advancing religion," and
noted that the voucher program "provided unrestricted grants to
parents as tuition reimbursement for their children to attend
nonpublic schools, the bulk of which is concededly sectarian in
orientation."

Oliver's decision had mixed impact on parents and students
participating in voucher schools.  As of Wednesday, classes at 20 of
the 56 schools covered by the program had resumed; in some cases, like
St.  Francis School, parents were told that they would not be held
liable for any tuition fees during the legal appeal to the judge's
ruling.  Sister Karen Somerville, principle at the school warned, that
"If it doesn't get overturned, the parents may have to pay," but
added: "Judging from the phone calls I'm getting, parents will do
everything they can to keep their child here."

The Cleveland voucher plan began as an "experiment" four years ago,
and provides mostly lower-income families with up to $2.250 per child
that can be used for tuition at private and sectarian schools.  The
first payments for this year's program are due in October; but Judge
Oliver opined that he was unlikely to reconsider his ruling.  The
Cleveland program was considered a pioneering experiment, and was the
first voucher program to fund religious schools.  An earlier voucher
scheme in Milwaukee which began in 1990 excluded sectarian schools,
but included Parochial and other religious schools once the Cleveland
program was established.

Reacting to Wednesday's ruling, Ohio Attorney General Betty D.
Montgomery filed an emergency appeal with the 6th Circuit U.S.  Court
of Appeals in Cincinnati.  Judge Oliver's decision was also criticized
by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, which in an editorial titled "Voucher
vulture," said that the "last-minute" ruling inconvenienced families
and schools because of "an act of arrogance, carelessness and utter
disregard for the needs of children across the city."  But opponents
of the voucher program had warned for years that it could be found
unconstitutional, and have a negative impact on Cleveland's already
cash-strapped public school system.  In addition, state education
officials had recommended removal of three private schools from
coverage by the program due to unsafe conditions and unlicensed staff
members.

A Blatant Religious Message...

Oliver's opinion included citation of the 1973 U.S.  Supreme Court
ruling in COMMITTEE FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION v.  NYQUIST, where a New York
State law establishing vouchers for private schools was invalidated.
The high court noted that the program advanced religion and violated
the establishment clause of the Constitution since most of the schools

[CTRL] j] Vatican Supported Balkan War? A-albionic vs Paranoia

1.  A-albionic Name Taken in Vain
^

Our name was taken in vain in the subject article by Al Hidell which
appeared in _Paranoia:  The Conspiracy Reader_ Issue 21, Fall 1999 (page
28), PO Box 1041, Providence, RI, 02901 [$20.00/year]:

"The A-albionic conspiracy research group takes the LaRouche viewpoint
a step further.  In their view, Britain is indeed a major force working
for world domination.  However, they believe that there is another force
battling Her Majesty behind-the-scenes:  the Vatican.  In the case of the
Balkan conflict, it is interesting to note that the British are on the
side of war, while the Vatican has repeatedly condemned the violence."

Lloyd Responds:  "Al Hidell" has it totally wrong on this one!  The
Vatican has not condemned the Balkans conflict other than to urge peace as
usual!  When one compares the Pope's shrill condemnation of the Gulf War
(no blood for oil) backed-up by his US Bishops shouting the same, one can
only presume that the Pope supports the Balkans war as a chess move in his
Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals [EU] program and the Church's
long-time rivalry with and desire to dominate the Eastern Orthodox Church!
This Virgin Mary obsessed Pope has long cherished the Fatima prophesy of
"converting Russia" to Roman Catholicism.  Further, the Balkans war
conforms nicely to the Pope's proposed alliance with Islam..."better a
Saracen than a Gnostic" or the geopolitics of "faith versus modernism".

Our analysis indicates that Britain switched sides in the Balkans mess
[under the cover of putting the Labor Party in power] in a Geopolitical
judo-move designed to array China and Russia against America.  The
original Bush-British policy was to support Belgrade in opposition to the
Vatican-German-EU policy of supporting Catholic Croatia and Islamic
Bosnia.  After the Clinton victory in America, Britain's policy became
untenable and had to be abandoned.  Now, Britain in a clever judo-move is
trying to induce America and the European Union (EU) to over-extend and
crash on the rocks of a renewed anti-American block lead by Russia and
China even while attempting to enshrine NATO as the overlord of the EU.

It is very important to note that Britain was able to maintain its
anti-Iraq policy [supported by the Queen herself in an address to Congress
after the Gulf War] by the clever inside-outside strategy of supporting
the impeachment drive within America and offering the friendly hand of
fellow left-liberal Tony Blair in friendship from without.  In spite of a
disinclination and Vatican opposition, Clinton renewed and preserved the
genocidal hot/cold war against Iraq.

Hidell has a section head on page 28 that sums-up the essence of his
misconceptions:  "The US:  Dominated or Dominant".

Lloyd Responds:

Of course, the US is dominant as the only "super power" nation state.
The question should be, which social/economic power organs are dominant in
determining its policies at this time?

A-albionic thinks the Clinton Administration has primarily functioned
at the behest of the Vatican based on Clinton's Georgetown-Jesuit-CIA
introduction to world politics under the tutelage of Jesuit disinformation
and propaganda agent, the Irishman Carroll Quigley.  This situation was
made possible by the connivance of the Rockefeller interests which are the
long-time rivals of the Queen's "Empire of the City" financiers for world
domination of natural resources, international trade, governments, and the
major Corporations.

X DRUDGE REPORT X THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1999 21:41:51 ET X


EX-CIA OFFICER SAYS SECRET ARMY UNIT 'PRESENT, UP FRONT AND CLOSE' DURING
ASSAULT; MILITARY ROLE AT WACO JUSTIFIED, GOV
REPORT SAYS

A former CIA officer tells Friday's DALLAS MORNING NEWS that he learned
from Delta Force commandos that members of the secret Army unit were
"present, up front and close" in helping the FBI in the final tear-gas
assault on the Branch Davidian compound.

The former officer, Gene Cullen, tells the paper that heard detailed
accounts of the military's active involvement from "three or four"
anti-terrorist Delta commandos as he worked with them on an overseas
assignment in 1993.

The paper reports evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement personnel
may support the account given to Cullen.

"I'm advised there is some evidence that may corroborate" the allegation
that Delta Force participated in the assault, said James B. Francis Jr.,
chair of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

A Pentagon spokesman who spoke on condition of anonymity denied Thursday
that any U.S. military units were involved in the assault, "as far as I
know."

[Pentagon policy barred him from any public discussion of Delta Force, even
the possibility of its existence.]

Meanwhile, any U.S. military assistance at the April 1993 Waco siege was
jusified, according to the General Accounting Office.

The ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION is reporting on Friday:

The GAO, which acts as Congress' investigative arm, states in a new report
that the military's direct involvement in Waco -- which included the use of
Army, Air Force, Texas and Alabama National personnel and equipment -- was
lawful due to federal antidrug laws.

Early reports from local law enforcement claimed that the Davidians were
running a methamphetamine laboratory from their Mt. Carmel compound.

AJC's Julia Malone quotes GAO's Carol Schuster, who was in charge of the
report: "The drug connection legitimizes providing military assistance
without reimbursement."

Writes Malone: "The report said no formal standard exists for justifying a
military role in drug investigations, giving military officials
'considerable discretion' in deciding whether to assist law enforcement
agencies."

The report concludes that $982,400 of military dollars were spent on
helicopters, tanks, a grenade launcher, as well as "Army Special Operations
observers".

No evidence of drug manufacturing was ever found at the Davidian compound.

MORE...

Military memos obtained by the WASHINGTON POST show the military provided
training to FBI agents in the use of the 40mm grenade launchers during Waco.

The military also lent "sophisticated technological support, including
experimental surveillance robots and a television satellite signal jammer."

AFTER HELL RIDE, TARSES DECLARES: I NEVER WANT TO BE A TV EXECUTIVE AGAIN!

Ex-ABC Jamie Tarses tells NYT Bill Carter that she is "an incredibly happy
person'' after making her decision to leave the network. Tarses declares:
"I definitely never want to be an executive again."

On Thursday Tarses, 35, quit her job as Cinderella of ABC's entertainment
division.

She was the first woman to serve as programming head at one of the three
major broadcast networks.

"At some point you have to wonder, when does your personal happiness factor
in?" Tarses tells Carter in fresh runs.

Earlier this week NEWSWEAK magazine's website reported that Tarses would
probably be asked to resign this week. But ABC Group chair Bob Iger rushed
a statement saying the story was "simply untrue."

What was true, according to Carter, who may now be set to write a book
about Tarses's hell ride at the network, was that Iger made clear how he
expected a new management structure to work at ABC -- a new structure that
turned out to be unacceptable to Tarses.

Tarses tells Carter that the new management reorganization at ABC TV,
ordered by DISNEY, had led to conflicts, creating a confusing hierarchy of
three executives in charge of programming and development.

"It's a clean break," Tarses says of her exit.

"I just don't want to play anymore," Tarses tell Brian Lowry of the LOS
ANGELES TIMES in an interview. "The work is a blast. The rest of this
nonsense I don't need  I can't tell you how happy I am."

Tarses had two years left on her contract.  Happine$$ terms were not
disclosed.

 Welcome!

 Have you considered the possibility that the U.S. Government
 is taking part in clandestine activities extraordinary in nature?
 You may have, you may have not, but you probably wouldn't
 consider such a notion to be implausible.

 Yet, consider this: There exists today, and has existed for
 decades, a large underground military facility in a moderately
 isolated area in the middle of Arizona, USA. This massive
 facility is entirely concealed underground, with possibly outer
 portions used for entrances, etc. It remains to this day highly
 secret, and few know of its existence.

 Our two year investigation of such claims is presented on this
 web site with photos, eye witness testimony, and an extensive
 log of events.

 Breaking News
 July 29th, 1999

 (The following is a special report unrelated to the information
 contained on the CUNBD web site.)

 CUNBD has been in direct contact with an agent
 within a powerful government intelligence agency. This agent's
 name, address, phone number and position with this intelli-
 gence agency has been obtained. Other validative info
 has also been obtained. (More info at CRTF web site below).

 He reveals, if not confirms, that at least 50,000 U.S.
 citizens are to be "rounded up" and taken to "concentration
 camps" by the U.S. Government in collusion with foreign
 governments and bodies. This may take place sometime after
 or during September 9th through 13th, 1999.

 This mass culling of people will be conducted in raid-like
 fashion as "targets" are covertly taken from their homes,
 placed in unmarked vans, transport vehicles, and large
 Chinook helicopters. NATO, United Nations, and foreign
 troops will be used for this "round up". The people targeted
 will be sent to "concentration camps", in the words of the
 informant, where they will be killed.

 Those targeted likely include militia members, anti-government
 activists, conspiracy theorists, and so-called "patriots" and
 proponents of the U.S. Constitution.

 This event will occur in accord with another "planned" event.
 Sometime during the dates of September 9th through 13th
 (these dates are tentative) at least ten Neutron bombs will be
 detonated in all major U.S. coastal cities. Cities named as
 targets include Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco,
 New York, Boston and Miami.

 The bombs, according to the source, were brought into the
 U.S. "two weeks ago", or in mid-July, through Port Arthur in
 Texas. This operation is being facilitated by the Russians.
 However, factions of the U.S. and British governments are
 fully aware of it and will do nothing to stop it. In fact, in
 concert with the denotation of these nuclear weapons the
 named governments will plan for the "invasion" of a "peace-
 keeping" force in the U.S. These forces will also be used in
 Nazi-like fashion to seize dissidents and so-called "threats".

 The informant mentions the "Red list", of which he and
 50,000 others are included, along with the "Blue" and "Green"
 lists. "Those on the Red well be taken to FEMA concentration
 camps and immediately executed. The Blue will also be taken
 to FEMA camps and be given the choice between 're-education'
 or execution. The Green well be 're-educated' then returned to
 what is left of society", said the source.

 The source has also indicated that various para-military person-
 nel are currently being contracted by the Justice Department and
 the FBI to carry out specialized "assassinations" of key people
 within the militia and right-wing movements. These planned
 killings will begin on August 4th of this year and continue on
 quietly thereafter.

 Update
 August 19th, 1999

 The source reports more information to us:

 "To my knowledge it still scheduled on 9/11/99. However, things
 change. We made the move on the militia/patriot groups so public
 that they 'rescheduled' that heinous event. Instead, they slowly
 move a little closer each week by staging maneuvers. They could
 be rushed in September, or in October. The militias in Michigan
 think they will be outright attacked in October. That is what all
 these rainstorms and landslides are about 'up here'. All man made,
 and they are used as cover within which to move men, supplies, etc.
 closer into position. And they practice containment exercises."

 We cannot vouch for the accuracy of the above claims!

[CTRL] Urgent Action on Chiapas

1999-08-26 Thread earthman

 -Caveat Lector-

To: US Civil Society
From: Mexico Solidarity Network
Re: Request for urgent action regarding recent events in
Chiapas

Over the past two weeks there has been an alarming increase
in
militarization and a near state of siege in indigenous
communities in
Chiapas, Mexico. The following letter, signed by thirteen
non-governmental
organizations in Chiapas, requests our urgent assistance.
The situation is
critical and appears to be deteriorating. Following the
letter is a set of
recommended actions. Please act today.


To national and international civil society
To national and international human rights organizations

Since August 14, the Mexican army has sent 10,000 soldiers
into new camps in
the Lacandon Jungle. For the first time since 1994, the army
has penetrated
the Montes Azules biosphere where the general command of the
EZLN is
presumed to live. Approximately thirty communities in the
region are in a
virtual state of siege. Army troops attacked the inhabitants
of Amador
Hernandez in the municipality of Ocosingo with US-made tear
gas, wounding
several indigenous men and women. Access to the community
has been
obstructed, even for the people who live there. The army has
taken
possession of lands near the community and has surrounded
them with barbed
wire. The community is being terrorized by constant airplane
and helicopter
flights over the area and by the presence of Public Security
forces.

On Thursday August 19, PRI supporters from Taniperlas
detained three members
of the Fray Bartolomé Human Rights Center, who were on their
way to
investigate the arbitrary detention of three people from the
community Viejo
Velasco. One of the community members, Pedro Gómez Aguilar,
has been missing
since July 23. The PRI supporters detained the human rights
workers for two
hours, threatening them and repeating xenophobic rhetoric
such as "you are
foreigners and are coming to impede the progress of this
area," even though
the detainees were all Mexican. The PRI members also told
the human rights
workers that only the Ocosingo municipal authorities could
give permission
to travel through that area, and if they tried to enter
again without
authorization they would have to pay the consequences.
Finally, the PRI
supporters gave them half an hour to leave, threatening that
if they did
not, members of the community would burn their vehicle.

On August 21, a Mexican doctor and two foreign human rights
observers were
brutally beaten by a group of PRI supporters who were
blocking the road
immediately after a military checkpoint in the community of
Vicente
Guerrero, municipality of Las Margaritas. The PRI supporters
sexually
assaulted the female doctor. So far, no authority has
responded to the
formal complaints filed.

The substitute governor of Chiapas, Roberto Albores Guillen,
has mounted
xenophobic campaign. In an unprecedented act, the xenophobia
has even been
directed at Mexican citizens, as in the aforementioned
cases. Officials have
also threatened to expel from Chiapas Mexican actress Ofelia
Medina, who is
known for her strong work around human rights abuses. The
National Institute
of Immigration has increased its presence at checkpoints on
the roads to
indigenous communities and is expelling many foreigners
using the so-called
"definitive departure order." It is also worrisome that this
week
Immigration agents have been visiting hotels in San
Cristobal, searching for
names and room numbers of tourists in order to give them
citations.

Army troops have, on many occasions, violated the Mexican
Constitution.
Examples include violations of the right to free transit,
free expression
and article 129, which states: "In peace-time, no military
authority can
carry out functions other than those that have a direct
connection to
military discipline. There will only be permanent and fixed
military
commanders in the bases, forts, and military warehouses that
are directly
dependent on the federal government or in the camps,
barracks, and deposits
that are established, outside of population centers, to
station troops." The
army is also violating its own Military Justice Code. No
sanctions have been
applied by Executive,
Legislative or Judicial authorities and no one has been
prosecuted for these
violations. In fact, these government officials have been
co-participants in
the unconstitutional operations, maintaining a climate of
terror in
indigenous communities. At the same time, the state
government is agitating
PRI militants from indigenous communities to block roads and
prevent
national and international observation in areas where the
most grave
injustices have occurred, so no witnesses can attest to
these human rights
violations.

We respectfully and urgently call for visitors, observers or
accompaniers
for the above-mentioned indigenous communities, in order to
restrain the
repressive actions orchestrated by the federal government
and carried out by
the state government and members of the Mexican National
Army.

 By James Brookfield
 27 August 1999

 Back to screen version

 When the history of the first ten years of capitalist restoration
 in Russia is written, it will have to include two fundamental
 points. First, that never before was so much money stolen by so
 few people in so short a span of time. Second, that the thieves
 included not only elements of the old Stalinist nomenklatura and
 a new generation of Russian gangster-businessmen, but also a good
 number of Western bankers and government officials.

 An important chapter in this history is now unfolding in the
 United States. Federal officials, working with their counterparts
 in Britain and Switzerland, are engaged in an investigation of
 what may be the largest money-laundering scheme in US history.
 They allege that billions of dollars from Russia, some of it from
 Mafia elements, were channeled through accounts at the Bank of
 New York. Two BNY vice-presidents have already been suspended as
 a result of the probe.

 Investigators are also looking into the possibility that Russian
 Mafia elements took $200 million from IMF loans that were made to
 the Russian government.

 A series of articles by New York Times writer Timothy L. O'Brien
 has brought the salient facts to light. Sometime during the
 summer of 1998 British officials investigating Russian mob
 activities alerted US authorities to a link between YBM Magnex, a
 front company for suspected Russian gangster Semyon Yukovich
 Mogilevich, and Benex, a firm owned by Peter Berlin, the husband
 of one of the now-suspended BNY vice-presidents. From October
 1998 to March 1999, $4.2 billion in suspect money passed through
 the BNY accounts of Benex and other firms. Investigators allowed
 the account to remain open after March as they continued their
 probe, and the total amount laundered may prove to be as much as
 $10 billion.

 The traces of criminal wrongdoing extend beyond suspected
 organized crime figures like Mogilevich and point to high-level
 officials in the US and Russia. Investigators are looking into
 whether funds from the now insolvent Russian bank, Menatep, were
 also involved in money laundering at BNY. Menatep is owned by
 Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and recently employed, as a
 senior executive, Konstantin Kagalovsky.

 Kagalovsky's alleged role in the money-laundering operation
 highlights the criminal character of the nouveau riche in Russia,
 for the most part born of the old Stalinist bureaucracy, as well
 as the complicity of Western financial institutions, governments,
 and academic advisors. Kagalovsky was involved at the highest
 level of the Russian government, serving as an advisor and as its
 representative to the IMF before moving on to Menatep in 1994.
 Prominently displayed in his office at Menatep were photographs
 of his meetings with George Bush, John Major and other Western
 leaders.

 He left Menatep to become the vice-chairman of the Lukos oil
 conglomerate. This company had been acquired by Menatep on the
 cheap in a “loans-for-shares” scheme in which the bank extended
 credit to the Russian government in exchange for shares in the
 company's ownership. When the bank went under, Lukos picked up
 many of its assets, including its Moscow headquarters and a
 number of offshore holding companies, according to a report in
 Thursday's Wall Street Journal.

 These holding companies are alleged to have been used to plunder
 a number of other Russian companies, also owned by Menatep. In a
 procedure known as tolling, the assets or products of
 manufacturing firms were sold to the holding companies at
 below-market prices. The offshore holding companies then sold the
 goods at normal prices, keeping the profits outside Russia. The
 Journal article cited one example of tolling in which $20 million
 was removed from a Russian titanium plant in just one year.

 Such dealings are alleged to have quickly made Mr. Kagalovsky a
 very rich man. So suggests the following description, provided by
 John Lloyd, a writer who recently traveled to Moscow and prepared
 an article for the New York Times Magazine (“Who Lost Russia?—the
 Russian Devolution,” 15 August 1999):

 “[Kagalovsky] was the first reformer I had got to know when I
 went to live in Russia early in 1991. Back then, he lived in a
 two-room, comfortless flat in one of the massive projects that
 ring Moscow. Thin and intense, he had sat me down at the kitchen
 table and, battling with his halting English and my halting
 Russian, talked of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman and Jeffrey
 Sachs He told me of the futility of Gorbachev's reforms, the
 need for policies of the strictest monetarist provenance and of

Asking Questions : The Key to Protecting Yourself From Destructive Cults

How long have you (the recruiter) been involved ? Are you trying to recruit
me into any type of organization ?

If you find out you are being lied to later, get angry and walk away from the
group.

Can you tell me the names of all other organizations that are affiliated with
this group ?

Who is the top leader ? What are his background and qualifications ? Does he
have any criminal record ?

"a destructive cult tries to get a person's commitment first, before
disclosing important information."

What does your group believe ? Does it believe that the ends justify the
means ? Is deception allowed in certain circumstances ?

"If a person is not willing to summarize the key points of the group's
beliefs right then and there, you can be sure he is hiding something."

What are members expected to do once they join ?

"Ask the person  what he did  when he first met the group and what he is
doing now ? " He mentions to watch the recruiter's nonverbal reaction
carefully.

Is the group considered to be controversial to anyone ?

The recruiter may mention that some people think they are a cult and they are
all brainwashed and say something like, Do I look brainwashed ? One could
respond: How are people supposed to look if they are brainwashed ?

How do you feel about former members of the group ?

"Any legitimate organization would never discourage contact with former
members...legitimate groups would support any member's decision to leave,
even though they may not like it... cult groups instill fear in members,
insuring they stay away from critics and former members."

What are the three things you like least about the group and the leader ?

He replies to the question of asking a cult member if they are brainwashed.
"It is absurd to expect an objective answer from someone under mind control."

He mentions that cults will try to split friends up during indoctrination
sessions.

"If you find yourself in an indoctrination session, stand up and announce
that you don't like being manipulated and controlled. The louder you speak,
the faster you will be escorted from the room...Don't let your curiosity get
the best of you. Too many people have been recruited into these organizations
because they were overconfident ...Placing yourself in a potentially
dangerous situation just isn't worth it."

Page 57 - A Note on Hypnotism

"Hypnotism relates to the unethical mind control practices of destructive
cults... being in a trance is usually a pleasant, relaxing experience...it
has been clinically established by psychological researchers that people's
critical faculties are diminished in a trance state. One is less able to
evaluate information received in a trance than when in a normal state of
consciousness."

Media Mum on Clinton Cocaine Witness List

Is it just Inside Cover, or has anybody else noticed that reporters have
suddenly cooled on their favorite pursuit: hounding George W. on the cocaine
question?

Maybe it's the recent surveys showing Americans don't care if Bush Jr. used
the drug a generation ago? But more probably it's the fact that the press'
own double standard has become so blatantly apparent that even they now
worry about seeming unfair.

Reporters have been slammed lately for not going after President Clinton on
the same question -- and the entire U.S. media knows it risks a credibility
crisis should the Bush bashing continue.

Thanks to Gennifer Flowers' Aug. 6 allegation -- first reported here --
where she claimed Clinton used a "substantial amount" of cocaine, news
editors have been faced with a stark choice: Find an allegation against
George W. as credible and damaging as Flowers' account -- or let the coke
rumors about Bush die a natural death.

Otherwise America's information gatekeepers might be forced to cover the
list of witnesses who have gone public about what they say was our
President's own nasty habit.

Besides Flowers, those witnesses could include:

SHARLINE WILSON, the former Little Rock drug dealer who told a federal grand
jury in 1990 that she watched as Bill Clinton used cocaine in her presence.
Her testimony is sealed. But she recounted the Clinton coke shocker, which
she witnessed at Little Rock's LeBistro restaurant, for the London
Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in 1994.

"'Roger the Dodger' (Clinton's brother) came back to the bar and said he
needed two grams of cocaine right away. They carried out the deal near the
ladies room. The Dodger then borrowed her 'tooter,' her 'one hitter' as she
called it, and handed it to the governor.

'I watched Bill Clinton lean up against a brick wallhe casually stuck my
tooter up his nose. He was so messed up that night, he slid down the wall
into a garbage can and just sat there like a complete idiot.'" ("The Secret
Life of Bill Clinton" by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard)

Wilson also claimed to have seen then-Governor Clinton use the drug at
Little Rock's Coachman's Inn. She is currently serving a 31 year jail
sentence which she believes is retribution for her candor.

SALLY PERDUE, the former Arkansas beauty queen who claims she had a four
month affair with the President in 1983, has told reporters that Clinton
used cocaine in her presence and that he seemed quite familiar with how the
drug is used:

"He had all the equipment laid out, like a real pro," said Perdue.

Perdue says she was threatened with violence if she didn't stay silent about
the details of her Clinton affair. She currently resides in China.

L.D. BROWN, the former Clinton bodyguard and onetime head of the Arkansas
Police Association, recounts his own suspicions about the President's
cocaine use in his book: "Crossfire: Witness in the Clinton Investigation."

Brown says he was guarding Clinton at a Boca Raton hotel when the
then-governor suddenly disappeared from sight:

"Bill stepped out for a few minutes, long enough for me to become
concerned...I first checked the bathroom. I called his name but got no
answer. Just as I was about to leave I saw his number 13's (shoes)
protruding from under one of the stalls. 'Bill, are you okay?' I asked,
knowing that there couldn't be another foot that big in Boca Raton. 'Yeah,
yeah, L.D., these damn sinuses are killing me.' As I retreated to the bar I
realized what was going onBill knew that with my prior experience in
drug enforcement, I didn't tolerate illicit drug use -- particularly 'nose
candy.'"

JANE PARKS, Roger Clinton's onetime landlady, has said that during the
mid-1980's Bill Clinton was a "frequent visitor" to his little brother's
expensive Vantage Point apartment, which shared a wall with Parks' office.
According to the account Parks has given reporters, the Clinton brothers
enjoyed partying with girls who appeared to be high school age.

"There was drug use at these gatheringsand (Parks) could clearly
distinguish Bill's voice as he chatted with his brother about the quality of
the marijuana they were smoking. She said she could also hear them talking
about the cocaine as they passed it back and forth." ("Partners in Power" by
Roger Morris)

ROGER CLINTON, the President's own half-brother, is said to have offered one
of the most damning accounts of his sibling's cocaine use. A 1984 police
surveillance videotape reportedly shows Roger telling one of his coke
connections, "Got to get some for my brother. He's got a nose like a vacuum
cleaner."

Roger himself would do time for distributing coke, as would one his older
brother's biggest campaign contributors, Danny Ray Lasater. According to
L.D. Brown, then-Gov. Clinton casually dismissed the cocaine smuggling Brown
had 

[CTRL] Fwd: WACO: More Evidence Questions

1999-08-26 Thread Kris Millegan





   WACO: MORE EVIDENCE  MORE QUESTIONS

  (c) (8/26/99) Ian Williams Goddard

  In addition to recently uncovered pyrotechnic
  projectiles in debris from the Waco fire, The
  Washington Post reports that there's also video
  which supposedly shows a helicopter firing down
  into the Davidian church on the last day of the
  Waco siege. It's been said that such occurred on
  the first day, but it's news to this author that
  it may have also occurred on the last day (the
  official FLIR video shows ground-based machine
  gun fire at the church). As The Post reports:

"Another never-before-seen piece of evidence
on the siege is a videotape shot by the Texas
Department of Public Safety that some experts
say appears to show machine gun fire directed
at the compound's occupants from an FBI
helicopter the morning of April 19. Federal
officials have said that no federal agents
ever fired on the Davidians. The video was
obtained by a Colorado filmmaker, Michael
McNulty, who helped produce the documentary
'Waco: The Rules of Engagement.'" [1]

  Two days ago the deputy assistant FBI director at
  the time of the Waco siege, Danny Coulson, admitted
  that the FBI did use two pyrotechnic devices during
  the final siege on April 19, 1993. [2] But he claims,
  that they were used away from the main building,
  hours before the fire -- a claim that the official
  FLIR video suggest does not apply to devices other
  than the two devices Coulson refers to. His admission
  came after the discovery of what appears to be two
  pyrotechnic devices in previously-hidden debris. [3]

  Danny Coulson also told The Washington Post: "I only
  found out a week ago that these [pyrotechnic] rounds
  were fired." [1] That's a relevant point he made
  since I've been wondering where Mr Coulson was when
  federal officials swore under oath that there were
  absolutely NO pyrotechnic devices used. The Dallas
  Morning News reports that Mr Coulson also "said that
  they [pyrotechnic devices] were used with permission
  from FBI supervisors." [2] Mr Coulson was himself
  an FBI supervisor at the time, so this seems to
  suggest that approval came from supervisors over
  his head. These facts raise these obvious questions:

1) What "FBI supervisors" approved
the use of these pyrotechnic devices?

2) Why would pyrotechnic devices be approved
in conjunction with a gas attack that flooded
the area with potential flammable CS power and
its carrier, the solvent methylene chloride?[4]

3) Who told Danny Coulson a week ago that
at least two pyrotechnic devices were used?

4) Why was Mr Coulson, founding commander of
the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team and on duty at
the time of the incident, not informed of the
use of these devices until six-years later?

  Breaking news from Janet Reno [5] claims that she
  had no idea about the use of these pyrotechnic
  devices, which adds another question to my list:

5) Are we to believe that leaders are placed at
the head of federal agencies so that underlings
can run everything themselves in moments of the
highest magnitude without direction from or even
the knowledge of their agency heads? Come on!

  The Dallas Morning News also reported: "'The stance
  has always been that they used no pyrotechnics out
  there that day,' said David Byrne, who retired from
  the agency in August 1996. 'There are some serious
  criminal violations if they did. They have testified.
  They have done it before Congress. They've done it
  in court. They've caused other people to testify that
  there were no pyrotechnics used. If that turns out
  not to be right, then somebody will have some serious
  problems on a federal level,' Capt. Byrne said." [2]

  Frankly, I'll be interested to see how it comes to
  pass that nobody or only lowly underlings will have
  serious problems over this. Since Danny Coulson
  implies that pyrotechnic devices were only used away
  from the main building and hours before the fire (an
  implication that the FLIR video calls into question),
  his admission strikes me as a cover story necessitated
  by the unescapable fact that two devices were found
  and therefore they must be accounted for some how.
  It will be interesting to see Mike McNulty's new
  documentary and how these latest findings unfold.

EX-CIA OFFICER SAYS SECRET ARMY UNIT 'PRESENT, UP FRONT AND CLOSE' DURING
ASSAULT; MILITARY ROLE AT WACO JUSTIFIED, GOV REPORT SAYS

A former CIA officer tells Friday's DALLAS MORNING NEWS that he learned from
Delta Force commandos that members of the secret Army unit were "present, up
front and close" in helping the FBI in the final tear-gas assault on the
Branch Davidian compound.

The former officer, Gene Cullen, tells the paper that heard detailed
accounts of the military's active involvement from "three or four"
anti-terrorist Delta commandos as he worked with them on an overseas
assignment in 1993.

The paper reports evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement personnel
may support the account given to Cullen.

"I'm advised there is some evidence that may corroborate" the allegation
that Delta Force participated in the assault, said James B. Francis Jr.,
chair of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

A Pentagon spokesman who spoke on condition of anonymity denied Thursday
that any U.S. military units were involved in the assault, "as far as I
know."

[Pentagon policy barred him from any public discussion of Delta Force, even

Meanwhile, any U.S. military assistance at the April 1993 Waco siege was

 THE CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERTARIAN PRE-LAW READING LIST:

 An Introduction to American Law for Undergraduates and Others

 Michael DeBow
 Roger Clegg

 This web site offers an annotated reading list designed to give
 beginning students of the American legal system a basic
 understanding of the fundamentals of that system, and an
 appreciation of the role the legal system has played in America's
 achievement of levels of freedom and material abundance beyond
 anything the world had previously seen.

 A student encountering the legal system for the first time can
 find it a foreboding subject - complex, technical, deep. Our goal
 here is to demonstrate that, at one level of understanding, quite
 the opposite is true. The American legal system, properly
 understood, depends on a few basic concepts that can be quickly
 grasped by a serious student. The most important of these
 concepts are private property ownership, freedom of contract, and
 limited government. PictureWhy should anyone bother to learn
 anything of these ideas? We offer three answers to this question.
 The first has to do with gratitude. Given that many people
 sacrificed all or a portion of their lives to bequeath us this
 governmental and economic system, it doesn't seem much to ask
 that we at least understand how it works.

 a large gold pen, Gustav Stresemann, the German Foreign Minister
 is the first to sign, prompting loud cheering. The agreement is
 largely the work of Frank Kellogg, the US Secretary of State, in
 collaboration with Aristide Briand, the French Foreign Minister.
 Eventually, 62 countries will sign the pact. Briand had proposed
 that France and the USA should sign a treaty renouncing war as an
 instrument of national policy. Kellogg then suggested a
 multilateral pact to which all nations should have the
 opportunity of signing. The pact of course proves to be
 worthless.

White House blamed for secret unit at Waco



By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


he three Delta Force commandoes at the Branch Davidian compound in April
1993 were part of an elite unit the military secretly founded in 1977 to
combat world terrorism.
  While their use as on-scene observers was legal, a military expert is
faulting the Clinton administration for putting the soldiers in a domestic
law enforcement setting where innocent people died in a horrible blaze.
  Said Al Santoli, a House national security aide, "Delta Force is our
most sophisticated task force against terrorists and to think that Delta
would be used is an abuse of their power and an abuse of their mandate. What
happened in Waco was strictly a law enforcement matter."
  "Delta Force is not hostage negotiating. They are action guys against
terrorists," said Mr. Santoli, an aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California
Republican. "They are experts who deal with the most violent and
sophisticated international terrorist forces."
  A Pentagon spokesman said Thursday the three special forces soldiers
were at Waco strictly as observers in hopes of learning something new on
hostage rescue.
  For years, the Pentagon refused to acknowledge Delta Force's
existence, even as such public failures as Desert One and Somalia came to
light. Now, the military admits there is such a 400-man unit trained in a
fenced area of Fort Bragg, N.C., home to the Joint Special Operations
Command. But its work still remains top secret.
  Delta Force was the brainchild of two hardened Vietnam warriors, Col.
Charles Beckwith and Maj. Richard Meadows. They recognized that the growing
threat of global terrorism heightened the prospect that Americans would be
taken hostage overseas. A special unit was needed, they argued, to rescue
them.
  Unfortunately, Delta Force's first notoriety stemmed from failure.
Some of its members participated in the botched Desert One operation in 1979
to free 66 American hostages from the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
  Bad publicity struck again in 1993 when the ill-conceived manhunt for
Somalia warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid ended in the ambush of a U.S. special
forces unit and the death of 18 soldiers.
  Many successes remain secret. In any conflict involving American
troops, Delta Force is on the scene prepared for a hostage situation. They
also perform reconnaissance deep inside enemy lines and join with other
commando units, such as Navy Seals, on special missions.
  Delta Force members were believed to have penetrated Iraqi territory
during the 1991 Persian Gulf war in a hunt for ballistic missile launchers.
  "They have also advised and worked with people like the Israelis who
have been successful to varying degrees," Mr. Santoli said. "The reason they
keep their identities secret is to protect Americans from the world's most
dangerous terrorists."
  The issue of Delta Force aiding the FBI at Waco is not new. Attorney
General Janet Reno testified before congressional committees that she sought
the unit's advice before approving the April 1993 assault. A joint
congressional committee investigated the commandoes' role in both open and
closed hearings.
  But their presence does take on new importance this week with the
FBI's admission that it did, despite previous denials, use incendiary
devices on the same day the compound erupted in flames.
  A 1878 law called Posse Comitatus forbids the military from enforcing
civilian laws.
  But legal experts said Thursday the law does not ban the armed forces
from advising law enforcement officials or observing hostage situations.
  "There's a lot of things they can do 'in support of,' " said a former
Army lawyer. "But what they do not have the authority to do is go out and
actually enforce."

ELECTION CONTEXT IN EAST TIMOR

Indonesian-backed forces have increased their violence in recent
days as
Monday's UN-organized referendum on self-determination
approaches. In
1975, Indonesia invaded East Timor with tacit U.S. backing. In
the 24
years since, 200,000 people have died, a third of the
population.
Interviews are available with the following analysts:

LYNN FREDRIKSSON,  [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.etan.org
Washington representative of the East Timor Action Network, Fredriksson
said: "Few doubt that the vast majority in East Timor will opt for
independence if the vote is free. But just days before the long-awaited
referendum, the people of East Timor face escalating paramilitary threats,
intimidation and outright terrorist attacks. The human rights community is
calling on President Clinton to personally demand that the
Indonesian-backed violence stop, but he has not yet done so." Fredriksson
can arrange interviews with Timorese leader Jose Ramos-Horta, the
co-winner of the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize, as well as Dr. Dan Murphy, a
physician from Iowa who spent the past nine months in East Timor treating
hundreds of internally displaced people and scores of victims of recent
paramilitary attacks. He survived a July 4 attack on a UN convoy. Two
weeks ago Dr. Murphy was forced to leave East Timor.

CONSTANCIO PINTO, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.easttimor.com
Author of "East Timor's Unfinished Struggle: Inside the Timorese
Resistance," Pinto is the National Council of Timorese Resistance's
representative to the UN and North America. He is a survivor of arrest and
torture at the hands of the Indonesian military.

AMY GOODMAN, http://www.pacifica.org
Goodman won numerous awards for her documentary "Massacre: The Story of
East Timor," which chronicles the Indonesian genocide against the East
Timorese and the 1991 Santa Cruz massacre of 250 civilians (which Goodman
survived). In the last few days, Goodman, the host of Pacifica Radio's
"Democracy Now!" program, was twice expelled from Indonesia because her
name appears on an Indonesian army blacklist of more than 1,000 names. She
said: "The Indonesian regime should stop the violence -- not the reporters
trying to cover it. Indonesian president B.J. Habibie talks about
reforming Indonesia since the Suharto regime, but the Indonesian-backed
death squads raging through East Timor and the enforcement of the
blacklist confirm that the military's power remains unbroken."

JOE NEVINS, [in Dili, East Timor]
Nevins is a UN-accredited observer with the International Federation for
East Timor.

MARK SALZER, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.motherjones.com/east_timor A
public school teacher, Salzer just returned from East Timor as a
UN-accredited observer with the International Federation for East Timor.

"THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES."
 CNN has a new program called Dying to Tell the Story. It's a show dedicated
to the journalists who gave or risked their lives to get the story out. I
haven't seen it, but they are running ads for it pretty steadily. You can
get the feel for what they're doing right away. They are laying another
layer of treacle and hagiography on the press corps. Protectors of the first
amendment who are willing to give their lives in defense of your right to
know, or some other comic book drivel. CNN is part of that whole Freedom
Forum cult which is trying to make journalism some sort of secular
priesthood.

 Go out to the Freedom Forum's "Newseum" in Arlington, Virginia and you'll
see a lot of very interesting stuff about the press - old headlines, big TVs
(gotta love really big TVs) and some great photography - but you will also
see a celebration of journalists as a special caste. The press is so
self-serving that we do not need to make these people martyrs to a great
cause. My guess is that more Peace Corps volunteers have died digging wells
than journalists "dying to tell the story."

 Since I haven't seen the program yet, I don't want to jump the gun. But, as
I say, I have seen the commercial. There are some powerful images in it.
There's a shot of a man on fire. I don't know the back story, but one
wonders if it reminded anyone else of the cameramen who filmed a burning man
until they were sure they got the shot before they put him out.

 But the really disturbing image is of Nguyen Ngoc Loan shooting a man.
Everybody has seen this picture or the film of the incident. A cruel and
angry South Vietnamese General executes what appears to be a defenseless
Vietcong prisoner. Eddie Williams, The AP photographer who snapped the
photo, earned a Pulitzer Prize for the picture. That picture helped
galvanize the anti-war effort in the United States. Hubert Humphrey, at the
time the photo was taken, was on the verge of challenging President Johnson
for the Democratic nomination for president. The photo (and subsequent NBC
film) helped stir sentiment to the point that Johnson announced he would not
seek a second term only two months later. It is one of the most powerful
icons for everything that was supposedly wrong with that war. It is
precisely the sort of professional coup that a reporter who's "Dying to Tell
the Story" dreams of getting.

 Except Eddie Adams wishes he never took the picture.

 After the photo was seen around the world, the AP assigned Williams to hang
out with General Loan. He discovered that Loan was a beloved hero in
Vietnam, to his troops and the citizens. "He was fighting our war, not their
war, our war, and every - all the blame is on this guy," Williams told NPR
(in what may have been the most surprisingly courageous NPR interview I've
ever heard). Williams learned that Loan fought for the construction of
hospitals in South Vietnam and unlike the popular myths, demonstrated the
fact that at least some South Vietnamese soldiers really did want to fight
for their country and way of life.

 Just moments before that photo had been taken, several of his men had been
gunned down. One of his soldiers had been at home, along with the man's wife
and children. The Vietcong had attacked during the holiday of Tet, which had
been agreed upon as a time for a truce. As it turned out, many of the
victims of the NC and North Vietnamese were defenseless. Some three thousand
of them were discovered in a mass grave outside of Hue after the Americans
reoccupied the area. The surprise invasion, turned out to be a military
disaster for the Vietcong, but a huge strategic victory because of its
effect on American resolve.

 But at the time, all of this was irrelevant to people like Loan. It was an
ugly, shocking assault. The execution of the prisoner was a reprisal. It was
an ugly thing to be sure, but wars, civil wars especially, are profoundly
ugly things.

 Williams wrote in Time magazine, "The general killed the Viet Cong; I
killed the general with my camera. Still photographs are the most powerful
weapon in the world. People believe them, but photographs do lie, even
without manipulation. They are only half-truths. What the photograph didn't
say was, 'What would you do if you were the general at that time and place
on that hot day, and you caught the so-called bad guy after he blew away
one, two or three American soldiers?'"

 The picture that Williams took, the picture that CNN thinks is such an
atrocious and ignoble deed, ruined Loan's life. More to the point, it didn't
expand on "our right to know." It didn't answer questions, or give us the
story. It deceived. It gave no context. It confirmed the biases of the
anti-war journalists, and they used it to further their agenda.

 Loan fled Vietnam during the fall of Saigon for the US. He eventually moved
to Burke, Virginia. He tried to open a restaurant in Northern Virginia, but
when the identity
