[CTRL] Korean Unification
-Caveat Lector- From So China Morning Post E-Mail-able Via http://www.worldtribune.com/index-ea-text.html Thursday, September 2, 1999 KOREA Church behind luxury cars deal ROGER DEAN DU MARS in Seoul The Unification Church has sealed a business deal with a North Korean company in an attempt to satisfy demand in the Stalinist state for car repair facilities and luxury European models. Having recently received the stamp of approval from the Ministry of Unification, the church-owned Pyonghwa Motors is gearing up to spend US$300 million (HK$2.3 billion) building a car assembly plant in Nampo, west of the capital, Pyongyang, a ministry official said. The plant is expected to turn out up to 10,000 cars a year from 2002. Officials at Pyonghwa Motors, an affiliate of the Tongil Group founded by Reverend Moon Sun-myong, said there was strong demand in North Korea for luxury European cars and places to service them. "North Korea doesn't have enough car repair shops and places to buy quality European vehicles," said David Yoon, deputy director of marketing and trading at Pyonghwa Motors. "North Koreans say cars in the South are not strong, so they like Volvos and Mercedes." Pyonghwa is preparing to assemble Italian-made Fiats, which will sell for about US$25,000. "We think we have found a nice niche in the North Korean car market so we should be able to sell 40 per cent of these cars domestically," said Mr Yoon. But an industry analyst in Seoul greeted news of the venture with scepticism. "I'm not sure what the church is thinking. They tried to build a factory in China in 1989. That project failed and I wouldn't be surprised if this one does." Mr Yoon said the factory in China failed because the Chinese Government banned the company from selling the cars there. "Now we have a chance to make a car factory a real success," he said. Published in the South China Morning Post. Copyright © 1999. All rights reserved.

[CTRL] FW: Homeopathy
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 02, 1999 10:24 AM Subject: Homeopathy The following represents one of my attempts to explain something of homoeopathy to individuals with little or no previous understanding of it. Please fell free to debate it, or discard it, or flame me via private email, all flames will be enthusiastically answered (your privacy will not be violated, and no public whining will be indulged in by me. Previous whiners need not apply.) Homoeopathy is a bit like alchemy- the goal is a transformative one- to understand the patterns from the natural world that various medicinal substances are capable of imposing on an individual -in wholistic viewpoint. A wholistic viewpoint requires a bit of spiritually oriented psychological insight, some intuition, some medical knowledge- occasional fits of clairvoyance are a big plus grin Homoeopathy is based in several principles which it holds in common with alchemy magick- The law of Similars "likes cure likes"; the law of correspondences "as above, so below"; the law of Sympathy "the smallest part is similar to the whole" .. and others. The "Philosopher's Stone" of homoeopathy consists of the basic "laws" and the Materia Medica. Understand this, and you may begin to use homoeopathy little by little, starting with first-aid applications as I did, and as many do. The law of similars: "likes cure likes" is how this is stated in homoeopathy... the way this law is used is by matching the patterns the medicines are capable of imposing on a healthy individual. This knowledge is gained by "provings," where volunteers subject themselves to the medicines and great amounts of detail are collected indicating what symptoms the medicine has CAUSED in the "provers" .. and then collated into "Materia Medicas" which are encyclopediac books filled with the various symptoms "proven" and also "clinically cured" symptoms (where the medicine has shown curative effect) instances of gross-material poisonings. (snakebites, accidental poisonings, etc..) All of these contribute understanding to what these substances cause in the way of symptoms- and therefore, what the will cure- under the law of Similars, which Homoeopathy knows to be the only TRUE "law of cure." Treatment by allopathic (most "modern" medicine, including much of modern herbology) means (attempted cure by Opposites) is seldom fruitful in the long term, as generally symptoms of dis-ease are at best palliated, or at worst "Suppressed" which leads to an overall degradation of long term health; to often subtle shifting of the expression (immediate symptoms) of what is actually a chronic dis-ease process- for instance, a "hot" symptom on the skin (like eczema) is treated with a "cold" antibiotic (cold is the nature of antibiotics) ... this may lead over time to the development of symptoms of a more serious nature, such as general allergies, or symptoms centered in more vital organs/tissues such as lungs/heart. Homoeopathic medicinal substances are created by a sort of alchemical process which separates the "gross physical material" from the "subtle spirit-like essence," which is imprinted upon a carrier such as water, alcohol, or sugar pills. Hence, we are able to use substances which are "inert" or "unreactive" such as gold.. or substances which are biochemically "normal" such as salt, various herbs, etc... and substances which are violently poisonous such as snake or spider venom, mercury, arsenic, etc.. all without direct "chemical" effects, due to the fact that the "material" element has been REMOVED, leaving only the "vibrational energy pattern" or "essence". The medicines have no DIRECT biochemical involvements- their often deep and powerful effects are evoked on the "dynamic" or "subtle planes" - as this is the level of existence into which the "essence" has been refined. The creative force which is the "innate healing intelligence" (heal: to make Whole), and of which each individual partakes- is a "dynamic" or sort of "cosmic" subtle organizing energy- the "secret of life" as it were- the "vital force" as it is termed in homoeopathy is the portion of beingness responsible for sustaining and maintaining life and health in our mental/emotional/physical bodies. Ideally this innate healing intelligence would theoretically provide optimum health and longevity- but just as a tree may grow bent due to a constant sea-breeze, so may the "vital force" take on a derangement of varying severity... these derangments have their roots in the "chronic miasms" as studied by Hahnemannian homoeopaths. It is the "derangement" of this "vital force" which is the soil into which is sowed the seeds of dis-ease: Stressors such as injury/accident, habitual negative thoughts, pathogens, poisons, pollution, poor nutrition, karmic/hereditary susceptibility to chronic dis-ease of various types (which tend to be grouped around
[CTRL] Waco's Little Rock connection
-Caveat Lector- Waco's Little Rock connection By Joseph Farah World Net Daily. Sept 3 1999 http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_btl/19990903_xcbtl_wacos_litt.shtml Finally, there's some finger-pointing going on in the executive branch of the federal government over the exterminations of more than 70 men, women and children at the Branch Davidian church in Waco in 1993. It's about time. This is progress. But we won't be any closer to holding the guilty accountable until the White House connections are fully explored. There's ample reason to believe Bill Clinton was working behind the scenes on engineering the initial Waco raid even before he became president. One of the original witnesses against the Branch Davidians was Bill Buford, the agent in charge of the Little Rock, Ark., branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Buford was, also, according to Arkansas sources, a friend of Bill. The Waco case was apparently very important to Buford as an affidavit states he was working on New Year's Day calling former Branch Davidians seeking to find evidence of sexual abuse. My friend and colleague, Andy Beal, who first explored the Little Rock connection to Waco, asks a good question: What was the resident agent in charge of the Little Rock office of the BATF doing investigating a sex abuse case in Texas? Is sex abuse BATF's jurisdiction? Is Texas under the jurisdiction of the BATF's Arkansas office? Documents show Buford is noted as one of two "senior raid planners." He was also one of the BATF agents wounded during the Feb. 28 assault, but he is perhaps the only BATF agent to be visited in the hospital by none other than top Treasury Department official Roger Altman. Altman was the long-time "Friend of Bill" appointed to be deputy secretary of the Treasury and chief executive officer of the Resolution Trust Corporation. He resigned in August 1994 due to his interference in the Whitewater investigation. At the time of the Waco raid, Roger Altman was the second highest-ranking official at the Department of the Treasury. The BATF is a bureau within the Treasury Department. Is it not possible -- is it not likely, knowing what we know about the character of the Clinton administration today -- that the Clinton transition team was involved in the planning of the initial raid on Waco even before taking power? Remember, Vincent Foster's wife claimed he blamed himself for the deaths in Waco. Webster Hubbell, who became the point man between the Justice Department and White House during the siege, was also instrumental in that transition to power. Then there's Altman and Buford. Foster, Hubbell, Altman and Buford were all in Little Rock leading up to the inauguration. Clinton takes power Jan. 20, 1993. One month later, the BATF stages the largest and most dramatic raid in its history -- videotaped in living color in anticipation of its success in subduing religious non-conformists in possession of illegal guns. The injustice and illegality of the initial raid has still never been fully examined. Today the focus is on how and why the remaining occupants of the church building were exterminated in a fire. Yet, the equally puzzling question of why a dynamic and violent entry was necessary to serve a search warrant on David Koresh shortly after he went target shooting with officers of the BATF. The local sheriff offered to serve the warrant at the general store to avoid any confrontation. There was simply no need for all the deadly theatrics of the initial raid. The only reasonable explanation seems to be the one proffered by the documentary, "Waco: Rules of Engagement," which postulates that the raid was intended as a public relations effort by the BATF and a commercial for stricter gun control enforcement. There are many unanswered questions when it

Averell Harriman and Pamela Harriman at the press conference announcing the naming of the Harriman Institute. In 1992, following the collapse of the USSR, the Institute officially expanded its focus to encompass all the states of the former Soviet empire and was renamed the Harriman Institute. In 1997, the Harriman Institutes and the East Central European Center (ECEC) reunited to promote comparative scholarly knowledge and public understanding of the complex and changing polities, economies, societies, and cultures of the area between Germany and the Pacific Ocean. The institute is governed by an Executive Committee consisting of the Institute's senior faculty, Director and Associate Directors.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.icrrhistorical.org/edward.harriman.html A HREF="http://www.icrrhistorical.org/edward.harriman.html"E. H. Harriman/A - The Edward H. Harriman Story EDWARD H. HARRIMAN (1848-1909): E. H. Harriman was born in Hempstead, New York, son of an Episcopal clergyman. At age 14, he began work as an office boy in a New York brokerage house: 8 years later he bought his own seat on the New York Stock Exchange. In 1879, Harriman married Mary Averell, the daughter of the president of the Ogdensburg Lake Champlain Railroad. In 1881 Harriman bought control of the Sodus Bay and Southern Railroad, a short line running south from the shore of Lake Ontario. He improved the line, then set the New York Central and Pennsylvania bidding against each other for it. Pennsy bought it, and Harriman soon went after a larger railroad, the Illinois Central. By 1883 he was on the IC's board of directors and within a few years he had left the brokerage house he had established and became vice-president of the road. He launched an expansion program for the Illinois Central but looking ahead, was able to curtail it so the railroad could weather the Panic of 1893. In 1898 Harriman took over the Union Pacific. In 1901 Harriman bought the Southern Pacific and shortly afterward bought the Central Pacific. He rounded out his system with the Chicago Alton and the Central of Georgia. He attempted to buy first the Burlington and then the Northern Pacific but was thwarted by James J. Hill of the Great Northern. In 1908 he came to the rescue of the chronically troubled Erie and added that to his empire. Harriman was not one to buy a railroad for a quick profit. He believed that the financial yield would be considerably greater if the railroad's property was improved and its affairs well managed. Harriman established standards for locomotives, cars, bridges, structures, signals, and even such items as paint and stationery. Harriman's financial interest in the Union Pacific passed to his son, W. Averell Harriman, who was chairman of the Union Pacific's board from 1932 to 1946. The younger Harriman was also on the IC's Board until 1960, and was well known for his work in politics and international relations.

Two years later, this aristocratic daughter of a rural English baron became Winston Churchill's daughter-in-law. In the fifties, single again, Pamela developed an expertise in eighteenth-century French furniture, which provided a nice bookend to her other talent: being romantically involved with high-profile men. Her second marriage, to Broadway agent-producer Leland Hayward (who was also the third Mr. Margaret Sullavan), prompted her to say, "Theatre and politics are alike . . . they're both made up of triumphs and disasters." She married a third time, to businessman-politician W. Averell Harriman (whose personal fortune Pamela dipped into to shepherd the Democratic Party through the perilous Reagan years). Considering her list of equally, if not more, powerful lovers (Joseph Kennedy, Edward R. Murrow, Aristotle Onassis, William Paley), many people raised at least one eyebrow when President Clinton appointed her U.S. Ambassador to France. But after all, if the French aren't going to understand and forgive sexual peccadilloes, then who on earth will? Her qualifications for the job? Well, as she once remarked, Ive had quite a lot of what might be called global experience.

Onassis was born to an affluent Greek tobacco merchant family in Smyrna, Turkey. In 1922, when the Turks began attacking the resident Greek population, the Onassis family was forced to flee to Greece. Onassis had dreams of immigrating to the United States, but when he learned that he would have to put his name on a several-year-long waiting list, he sought more expedient asylum in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Arriving with only a few hundred dollars in his pocket, Onassis used his considerable pluck and business acumen to establish himself first in the tobacco business, from which he branched out to his first passion, shipping. A millionaire by age twenty-five, Onassis went on to amass one of the greatest personal fortunes of all time.

Everyone knows that she was a British Princess, but few know that she was also an American Million Heiress as a descendant of American millionaire Frank Work. Princess Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, are thus also American million heirs. Frank Work was a farm boy from Ohio who came to Wall Street in the nineteenth century, looking for a job. On a rainy day he happened to help up an older man who had slipped and fallen on the street. The man was Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, who in appreciation for the young man's help took him to his stockbroker. On Commodore Vanderbilt's recommendation the stockbroker gave the young man a job. Frank Work rose in the business and by the time of his death in 1911 he was able to leave a multi-million dollar forturne appraised at $14,465,887 to his heirs, who later included Princess Diana and her two sons. When one of his daughters married a titled Englishman, Frank Work was very unhappy, and was quoted in the press as saying "Marrying a foreigner should be a hanging offence." But time heals all wounds, and his descendant from that marriage, Princess Diana, united her British Royal Heirs with blood ties in The American Dynasy of American Millionaire Families and, through marital or family tie links, to thousands of celebrities, past and present, in the global family in The American Dynasty!

[CTRL] Lewinsky's Extended Family Has Royal Ties
-Caveat Lector- from: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/wolffiles30.html A HREF="http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/wolffiles30.html"Lewinsky's Extended Family Has Royal Ties/A - If nothing else, this proves that it truly is a small world after all. Genealogist Jon Speller Wall of Shame One mans attempt to characterize the erosion of our world The Vanderbilts married the Lehmans. The Lehmans married the Strauses. And in April, Monica's mother, Marcia Lewis, married into the Straus family. The line turned from Christian to Jewish with the marriage of Wendy Vanderbilt and of Orin Lehman, whose family founded the Lehman Bros. financial empire. By Buck Wolf ABCNEWS.com N E W Y O R K, August 12 Even if Monica Lewinsky never took a White House internship, shed still have some claim to fameher extended family through accident of marriage has ties to Princess Diana. Through Lewinskys stepfather, Ronald Peter Straus, Lewinsky can trace a blue-blood line that runs through railroad tycoons in the Vanderbilt family, Wall Street powerhouses at Lehman Bros.and ultimately to heirs of the British throne. ABCNEWS.com has confirmed the research of New York genealogist Jon Speller, who has identified 17 blood and two marital ties that unite a Jewish girl from Beverly Hills to British royalty. If nothing else, this proves that it truly is a small world after all, Speller says. They are two people from very different backgrounds who came to prominence in different ways, yet they share a connection. Your Royal Neighbors Many genealogists agree that at least one in five Americans can find royalty in their family if they search far back enough. But Lewinskys path is more direct than most. Speller made the connection while developing the forthcoming American Dynasty Database, a CD-ROM that shows the link between scores of royals, celebrities, and other newsmakers. Most people think if you are Jewish, or a member of another minority, you cant possibly be connected to royalty, Speller says. Heres proof we are a lot closer to a global family than most people think. From Beverly Hills to Windsor Castle The recognized scribe of British aristocracy, Debretts Peerage and Baronetage, indicates that Dianas mother, Frances Ruth Spencer Kydd, was one-quarter American. Her father was the grandson of Frank Work, a poor man who one day helped a stranger who slipped on the streets of New York. That man happened to be railroad tycoon Commodore Cornelius Vanderbiltand Vanderbilt sure knew how to say, Thank You. Vanderbilt hired Work, who eventually became the familys stockbroker and one of the most powerful men on Wall Street. Work hated the notion that his daughter married into British aristocracy. He disowned the child until her divorce, and, under the terms of his will, threatened to disinherit any family member who set foot again in Britain. But Dianas grandfather, Edmund Maurice Burke Roche, defied the will and claimed his title, becoming the 4th Baron Fermoy. Edmunds sister, New York socialite Cynthia Burke Roche, married iron manufacturer Arthur Scott Burden, whose family developed a process to manufacture nails about the time of the Civil War and parlayed it into a fortune. Enter Joan Rivers Arthurs brother, James, who ran the company, was prominent in New York society. He entertained the Prince of Wales at his home in 1924 during an international polo match. And his wife was a daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt. The rest, as they say, is historyand well documented through New Yorks society pages. The Vanderbilts married the Lehmans. The Lehmans married the Strauses. And in April, Monicas mother, Marcia Lewis, married into the Straus family. The line turned from Christian to Jewish with the marriage of Wendy Vanderbilt and of Orin Lehmanwhose family founded the Lehman Bros. financial empire. Now divorced, Lehman recently became engaged to comedienne Joan Rivers, raising the possibility that she, too, would take a spot on the Lewinsky-Diana family line. Relatives You Dont Brag About Of course, many people fear what they might find if they dig into their past. Even in this line of creme-de-la-creme lineage, there are members you wouldnt brag about at the family picnic. Arthur Scott Burden, for instance, suffered a mental breakdown in 1913 after he fell off his polo pony. A sheriffs jury declared him incompetent and he died in a White Plains, New York, mental hospital. James Abercrombie Burden told the New York times that his brother Arthur was a victim of brain atrophy. More appropriate table conversation might be the tale of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, who died heroically in the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania. A front page New York Times headline read: Vanderbilt Saved Woman, Gave Life Belt Though He Could Not Swim. A woman came up to him, and I saw him place the belt around the

-Caveat Lector- from: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/mcchtml/diplohm.html A HREF="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/mcchtml/diplohm.html"Diplomacy and Foreign Policy/A - Diplomacy and Foreign Policy Only the official records of the State Department surpass the richness of the Manuscript Division's holdings for documenting American foreign policy. Aside from the wealth of information available in the Library's twenty-three presidential collections, the division houses the papers of more than half of the individuals who have served as secretary of state from the first secretary, Thomas Jefferson, who assumed office in 1789, to Alexander Haig, who resigned in 1982. More than two hundred other collections comprise the papers of diplomats or contain significant material relating to American diplomacy. These, too, span American history, from Benjamin Franklin's letters as the American colonies' diplomatic representative to France in 1776 to the papers of William Howard Taft IV, who became the United States ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1989. Many of the division's earliest documents relating to American diplomatic history are, in fact, transcripts, photoreproductions, and other copies of rare materials held in repositories outside the United States. In 1898, within a year of its creation, the Manuscript Division acquired Benjamin Franklin Stevens's collection of facsimiles and transcripts of British manuscripts. Soon thereafter it obtained photoreproductions of additional papers relating to America held in European archives. Donations from two private sources--James B. Wilbur in 1925 and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in 1927--provided financial resources for the expansion of the division's Foreign Copying Program, which today has grown to include thousands of volumes of transcripts, photostats, microfiche, and microfilm. Supplementing the foreign reproductions were donations from two private collectors of original materials concerning the early Spanish and Portuguese involvement in North America. The gifts of Edward S. Harkness in 1927 and Hans P. Kraus in 1969 have made available to the public invaluable documents for the first two centuries of European exploration, conquest, and settlement of the New World. Some of the division's oldest diplomatic materials reflect not only the colonists' relationship with Great Britain, Spain, and France, but also their dealings with the original inhabitants of the continent. The records of the Virginia Company of London, for example, document some of the first contacts between European settlers and the Indians of North America. Early Indian treaties may be found in the Levi Woodbury Papers, while military and diplomatic interaction between later generations of settlers and Native Americans may be researched in the papers of Andrew Jackson, James McHenry, Timothy Pickering, and the Return Jonathan Meigs family. Other holdings, like the Indian Language Collection and the papers of ethnologist Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, reflect more subtle and intellectual efforts of both civilizations to understand one another. American diplomatic affairs during the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the first third of the eighteenth century are reflected in the papers of presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, and John Tyler as well as in the papers of various members of Congress and the cabinet, including Timothy Pickering, Roger Sherman, Oliver Ellsworth, James McHenry, Caleb Cushing, Henry Clay, and Daniel Webster. The mid- to late eighteenth century also witnessed important events in American foreign affairs and diplomacy, including the Mexican-American War (1846-48), American Civil War (1861-65), and Spanish-American War (1898). Some of the more notable collections documenting these events and others include the papers of James K. Polk, John C. Calhoun, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, John Sherman, Theodore Roosevelt, and Elihu Root. Diplomacy during World War I is extensively documented in the division's holdings, notably in the papers of President Woodrow Wilson and his cabinet members Robert Lansing, Philander C. Knox, William Jennings Bryan, Newton D. Baker, Josephus Daniels, and others. Of particular interest are nine volumes of private memoranda in which Secretary of State Lansing recorded accounts of cabinet meetings, vivid impressions of dignitaries whom he met, and detailed descriptions of the Paris Peace Conference, the Treaty of Versailles, and the covenant of the League of Nations. In the twentieth century no foreign policy relationship has been so fraught with danger as that of the United States and the Soviet Union. The Library's manuscript resources are particularly rich for studying the relations between these two superpowers, as the division's holdings include the papers

Skolnick More and more, Paris is becoming a center of political assassinations. ITEM: In July, 1996, Amschel Rothschild was murdered, just as he was about to become the new head of the Rothschild worldwide banking empire, tied to the Vatican. Most of the American press were silent: some said it was a heart attack; others, a suicide. He was found with a bathroom cord tied around his neck, connected to a towel rack. In checking it out, however, the Paris police discovered the rack came right off the wall! Hence, it was murder, not suicide. Rothschilds and Rockefellers have engaged each other in bloody financial wars for many decades. Rothschild was murdered on the anniversary of the murder of John D. Rockefeller III, 1978. Recently, we repeated the exclusive details. ITEM: February 1997: A long-time, major financial supporter of Albert Gore, Jr., was murdered in Paris: Pamela Harriman, U.S. Ambassador to France, widow of Averell Harriman of the major banking and railroad fortune. With her help, Gore had joined with top U.S. military leaders, who had fled to France, to arrest their Commander-in-Chief, Bill Clinton, for treason. ITEM: Various western intelligence agencies arranged to assassinate Princess Diana, in Paris. She was killed on a sacred section called Pont l'Alma -- from that is derived the word "Pontiff," that is, "Pope." The ancient section is where most every royal family in Europe comes from. According to legend, a person killed there goes straight to Heaven, as a representative of Jesus. According to unreleased witness reports, a vehicle (on purpose) tapped or hit the rear of Diana's Mercedes, one of the heavily-built models, reportedly made bomb- and bullet-resistant. A slick had already been spread ahead of her car, which then hit an intentional, heavy obstruction planted in the tunnel roadway. The second car had intelligence agents from the super-secret Committee of Twenty-Six, headquartered in Bristol, England, made up of covert operatives of the United States and the United Kingdom, skilled in murder disguised as auto accident. Informed of this in advance, French Intelligence took a "hands off" posture and delayed the arrival of the Paris police to the murder scene. The local authorities in Paris reportedly have "smoking gun" video evidence made by "Paparazzi" on motorbikes (that is, celebrity-chasing photographers), reportedly showing the political assassination details. French authorities have proof to blackmail Bill Clinton, both on the murder of Diana as well as the cover-up of the missile attack on the Paris-bound TWA Flight 800, in which 60 French nationals perished, including 8 of the French Secret Police. Diana and her intended Arab husband were set to shift billions of dollars from the West, to banks in Germany and Austria. The princess was crushed between the East and the West: between the Pope and the failing, degenerate British monarchy, the House of Windsor. Newsfakers here and overseas continue to call it a so-called "auto accident." = PART TWO: WHOEVER CONTROLS PRINCESS DIANA CONTROLS THE WORLD By Ru Mills Princess Diana and her soon-to-be husband, Dodi Fayed, were fatally injured in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel. The site is ancient, dating back to the time of the Merovingian kings (ca. 500 - 751 A.D.), and before. In pre-Christian times, the Pont de l'Alma was a pagan sacrificial site. Note that in the pagan connotation, at least, sacrifice is not to be confused with murder: the sacrificial victim had to be a willing participant. In the time of the Merovingian kings, the Pont de l'Alma was an underground chamber. Founder of the Merovingian dynasty was Merovaeus, said to be descended from the union of a sea creature and a French queen. Merovaeus followed the pagan cult of Diana. In Middle English, "soul" (Alma) has as etymology "descended from the sea." "Pont," has as a Latin root "pontifex," meaning a Roman high priest. (See also pons, pontis -- bridge; passage.) "Alma" comes from the Latin "almus," meaning nourishing. One translation of Pont de l'Alma would be "bridge of the soul." Another would be "passage of nourishment." All true European royalty is descended from the Merovingians, which are believed to be descendants of Jesus Christ. During the Merovingian era, if two kings had a dispute over property, it was settled in combat at Pont de l'Alma. According to legend, anyone killed there goes straight to Heaven and sits at the right hand of God, watching over all his foe was to do. The person killed in combat was actually considered to be the "winner," since he became God's eyes on earth and even could manipulate events. The current British royal family are imposters. The House of Windsor is a fraud. But the lineage of Lady

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.mcn.org/b/poisonfrog/diana/page5.htm A HREF="http://www.mcn.org/b/poisonfrog/diana/page5.htm"Princess Diana Murder Conspiracy/A - Part Five Diana: LOOSE CANNON TERMINATED BY MI6 by David-Charles Hammonds People have asked the inevitable. American conspiracy theorists have asked, as they always do, 'is there a conspiracy'? You bet your life there is. Let me fill in you in on how and why MI6 were able to terminate Diana. and why they needed to. Diana has always been a worry to the British Royal family. She was selected by Buckingham Palace, to be little more than the 'surrogate mother' to Prince Charles' role as constitutional 'stud'. Although she undoubtedly cared for Charles, maybe even loved him, she knew at her marriage that Charles' affections to her were eclipsed by his affections for Camillia Parker-Bowles, a woman of a minor aristocratic family. Camillia is two years older than Charles. A woman of Cammilla's age would have been in her late thirties at the time that Charles married Diana. A woman more of Charles' age would not have had bodily-clock with the same ample mileage left that Diana's did. A marriage was forced between Charles - a man selfishly pre-possessed with becoming King and providing heirs - and Diana, a young bedazzled girl caught in the web of one of the most devious women in Britain - The Queen Of England. Charles was always far more unpopular with the British people than Diana and he resented this, resented this a lot. Charles was the important one, it was he who was to head the British State, and yet this shy, inarticulate girl was beguiling to to the British people and later the world. From the start of the marriage, Diana knew that she would have to 'make' Charles love her, she knew full-well that he didn't already. She knew he still loved Camillia. 'There were always three of us in our marriage', she said on BBC's Panorama. But throughout this unhappy time, she'd managed to do her job - she'd provided two healthy boys, she'd provided the all-important heirs. Although the Queen's plan had been an immense success, she couldn't help but be horribly cruel towards Diana. The Princess of Wales was not given ladies in waiting - she was always a pseudo-Royal in the eyes of the Queen. This, understandably, took it's toll on Diana. She descended into bouts of bulimia, became psychologically scarred. Yet, even in her frailty she was being a pain in the arse to the Queen and her darling Charles. She was as popular as ever. While Charles played the grouse-shooting Aristocrat and was alienating the British people from the Monarchy, Diana was transcending such matters and was developing herself into a formidable force. More and more the world saw her as the House of Windsor's Cinderella, who was fighting her way to the ball. Yet, Charles, the envious little creature that he is, could not take pleasure in the asset of Diana. She outshone him and he hated it. He didn't love her, resented her, maybe privately despised her - he really wanted her out of his life. Throughout this time Charles was having a relationship with Camilla. Diana had tried to make him love or even like her. She had failed. She would have to start to live her own life. This she did. It was when she began to acknowledge that she had no real future with Charles she inevitably looked for other love-interests. This she found for a time with the swashbuckling Capt. James Hewitt. However, the Establishment, sensing that Diana had given her first two-fingers to the House of Windsor, she was in for trouble. Now not only a target of the Queen, she was now a target of Britain's domestic intelligence agency - MI5. Behind closed doors, the establishment of Aristocratic Elites and related Conservative politicians (up to the moment of her death, Conservative politicians were mounting a venomous assault of words, accusing her of being party-political, 'A loose cannon') decided to launch a campaign to discredit her in the eyes of Britain. The unaccountable, secretive and often down-right evil MI5 were called in to monitor Diana, tap-her phones, dig the dirt. This they did, and their greatest triumph came with the 'Squidgy' tapes (intimate calls between Diana and another male friend, 'Gilby', proving adultery) which were leaked into the press by M15. And yet, British opinion was not as conservative as the growing conspiracy had thought. People were not too bothered, they saw Diana as a victim, they excused the affair, they were more angry that someone had tapped the woman's phone. The establishment plot was failing. The British Monarchy was looking bad, the future King was looking bad, the whole British constitutional system was slowly being viewed with resentment by a larger portion of the population than ever before. Yet through all this Diana was shining, bringing a fairy-tale magic in fleeting moments to AIDs victims, the homeless, the war torn. If the British establishment was showing

Do you understand fraud? Well, if you do not understand fraud, just read what follows, and you will start to get a much better picture. But, while you are doing so, you had also better start paying attention. I said that bankers are scared. What follows is not what scares them (they are not aware enough to understand this is coming). What scares the bankers is losing a portion of their deposits, which are used to support their "credit." Do you understand? People are starting to pull cash out of the banks (smart people!). If the banks lose as little as 2% of their deposit base, they will need to start calling in outstanding loans at the rate of about TEN TO ONE; for every dollar going out the door, they have to call in ten dollars in loans. A mathmatical impossibility. This is why every nation which has permitted fractional reserve banking has self destructed. Eventually, the people always wise up enough to lose "faith" in the bankers credit. But, those countries did not have the Declaration of Independence, and the people had no recourse.

God Bless, David http://kskc.net/public/tmccrory/goingon.htm BANKING CREDIT: There are some essentials relating to banking and credit that must be understood in order to come to terms with how to successfully discharged bank-originated debt. The first matter is the nature of "credit" extended by Federally chartered and/or Federal Reserve or FDIC-member financial institutions. The first is to grasp what "credit" is, as defined at 15 U.S.C. 1602(e): "Credit" is a grant of authority to defer payment of debt, or create debt then defer payment. For purposes of the Consumer Protection Act, the "creditor" is defined as the financial institution which provides credit, and the merchant who provides goods and services. However, that definition is limited to the Consumer Protection Act itself -- it does not have general application. Where there is a "credit" transaction under auspices of a Federal grant of authority, the financial institution is in all cases operating as "fiscal agent" of the United States, and in most if not all cases, as a "mixed-ownership" (hybrid) United States corporation. The United States is always principal of interest -- the "debt" is ultimately an obligation to the United States, and the United States has the only right of action to recover the debt. The financial institution which originates the "credit" merely services the debt, it is not the principal of interest. The financial institution, whether a national bank, credit union, or whatever, is organized as an "association" to provide basic financial services for qualified association members. These entities deal exclusively in "public money" -- public money is hypothecated "credit of the United States". Therefore, only people who are authorized by law to receive and use "public money" are qualified to be association members. Those authorized by law to receive and use "public money" are officers and employees of the United States, territories and insular possessions subject to sovereignty of the United States, and Indian tribes recognized by United States Government. See limiting provisions at 31 CFR 202(a), and FDIC insurance solely of "public money" accounts at 12 U.S.C. § 1821(a)(2)(A). This is where the Social Security number comes in -- the Social Security number creates a presumption that whoever applies for credit is one of those entitled to custody and use of public money. However, that in and of itself isnt sufficient to sustain most foreclosures, etc., as the financial institution has no right of action to foreclose consumer or other "credit" obligations. A national banking association may sue and be sued in courts of the several States, but only so far as basic

[CTRL] Fw: Waco's Little Rock Connection
-Caveat Lector- Let's see...The scumbag rapist's dead body count is at 50 and counting.can we revise that now to 120? Waco's Little Rock connection September 3, 1999 Joseph Farah Finally, there's some finger-pointing going on in the executive branch of the federal government over the exterminations of more than 70 men, women and children at the Branch Davidian church in Waco in 1993. It's about time. This is progress. But we won't be any closer to holding the guilty accountable until the White House connections are fully explored. There's ample reason to believe Bill Clinton was working behind the scenes on engineering the initial Waco raid even before he became president. One of the original witnesses against the Branch Davidians was Bill Buford, the agent in charge of the Little Rock, Ark., branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Buford was, also, according to Arkansas sources, a friend of Bill. The Waco case was apparently very important to Buford as an affidavit states he was working on New Year's Day calling former Branch Davidians seeking to find evidence of sexual abuse. My friend and colleague, Andy Beal, who first explored the Little Rock connection to Waco, asks a good question: What was the resident agent in charge of the Little Rock office of the BATF doing investigating a sex abuse case in Texas? Is sex abuse BATF's jurisdiction? Is Texas under the jurisdiction of the BATF's Arkansas office? Documents show Buford is noted as one of two "senior raid planners." He was also one of the BATF agents wounded during the Feb. 28 assault, but he is perhaps the only BATF agent to be visited in the hospital by none other than top Treasury Department official Roger Altman. Altman was the long-time "Friend of Bill" appointed to be deputy secretary of the Treasury and chief executive officer of the Resolution Trust Corporation. He resigned in August 1994 due to his interference in the Whitewater investigation. At the time of the Waco raid, Roger Altman was the second highest-ranking official at the Department of the Treasury. The BATF is a bureau within the Treasury Department. Is it not possible -- is it not likely, knowing what we know about the character of the Clinton administration today -- that the Clinton transition team was involved in the planning of the initial raid on Waco even before taking power? Remember, Vincent Foster's wife claimed he blamed himself for the deaths in Waco. Webster Hubbell, who became the point man between the Justice Department and White House during the siege, was also instrumental in that transition to power. Then there's Altman and Buford. Foster, Hubbell, Altman and Buford were all in Little Rock leading up to the inauguration. Clinton takes power Jan. 20, 1993. One month later, the BATF stages the largest and most dramatic raid in its history -- videotaped in living color in anticipation of its success in subduing religious non-conformists in possession of illegal guns. The injustice and illegality of the initial raid has still never been fully examined. Today the focus is on how and why the remaining occupants of the church building were exterminated in a fire. Yet, the equally puzzling question of why a dynamic and violent entry was necessary to serve a search warrant on David Koresh shortly after he went target shooting with officers of the BATF. The local sheriff offered to serve the warrant at the general store to avoid any confrontation. There was simply no need for all the deadly theatrics of the initial raid. The only reasonable explanation seems to be the one proffered by the documentary, "Waco: Rules of Engagement," which postulates that the raid was intended as a public relations effort by the BATF and a commercial for stricter gun control enforcement. There are many unanswered questions when it comes to Waco. But maybe now it's time to start asking some of the unasked questions. What was the involvement in Waco planning of key Clinton White House officials even before they took power? Was the Waco raid, in fact, cooked up as a publicity and political stunt by an incoming administration itching for drama and action? Is it possible that Clinton and his cronies bear even more responsibility than any of us imagine for this deadly escapade?

attack of the Waco Church, Koresh had been gut shot through the front door
(which conveniently "disappeared" after the raid) and his 6 week old baby
had
been shot in the head by the ATF.(Kinda discourages one from peacefully

[CTRL] Snipped from Peacefarce 39
-Caveat Lector-

September 3, 1999
1. Texas Radio Buff: About Two Dozen NATO Aircraft Shot Down by the
Serbs; Chinese Embassy Deliberately Hit
PHOENIX, Sept. 3 - Many people would like to eavesdrop, but few know
how to do it legally and professionally. Steve Douglas of Ben Hur,
Texas, is one of few. Nor does he eavesdrop on something as trivial
as domestic squabbles. Unless, of course, they happen to take place
on Air Force One (the U.S. President's official airplane).
"It's amazing how many (U.S. government) communications are not
encrypted, even on Air Force One," Douglas told Jeff Rense on Aug. 16,
a host of a popular Internet Radio show which airs daily at the
Sightings Radio Web site.
What attracted our attention to Steve Douglas, however (thanks to a
heads-up we got from a TiM reader in the U.K.), was that he also
eavesdrops (literally and legally) to many unencrypted U.S. military
messages. Such as those exchanges during NATO's war on Serbia, for
example, when many communications between the NATO pilots and command
and control centers were not encrypted, due to a lack of sufficient
number of encryption devices, according to Douglas.
So what valuable "intel" did Douglas pick up from all this
eavesdropping to be invited as a guest on the Jeff Rense radio show?
How about that at least 22 NATO fixed wing air craft were shot down by
the Serb defense, about 10 of those U.S. planes. And that the bombing
of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was no accident, as the Clinton
administration claimed. News doesn't get more bombastic than that,
does it, especially at a time of universal deceit which the
Washington-Brussels-London "lie and deny" PR and military crowd
practiced during the war.
So now not only has the "Venik" Web site, and our other sources inside
Serbia, corroborated some of the Yugoslav military claims about the
large numbers of downed NATO aircraft (see S99-141, "Peacefarce" 35,
Item 2, Aug. 26 and S99-139, "Peacefarce" 33, Item 2, Aug. 24) now we
have someone right here in the United States, saying the Clinton's
White House, the Pentagon's and NATO's claims about having lost only
one (F-117A) "stealth" jet, are just plain bunk.
But not only was Douglas careful not to use that term ("bunk"), he
sounded downright nervous and reluctant to divulge much when
questioned about the details by the radio show host, Jeff Rense.
Having said that he realized the "caveat" (i.e., probably the pre-show
agreement between the two?) - that Douglas wasn't going to disclose
more than you feel is warranted" (to stay alive?) - Rense nevertheless
pressed Douglas about the loss of American lives with all these lost
aircraft. Especially when NATO rescue helicopters were also shot down
by the Yugoslav military, as some of our Serb sources had claimed
throughout the war (see S99-08, Day 4, Update 2, Item 2, Mar. 27;
S99-22, Day 10, Update 1, Apr. 2; and S99-29, Day 13, Update 2, Item
1, Apr. 5 for some such examples).
Douglas said he'd heard the same "rumors," but did not know much more
than that. He sounded scared when he said that. But he did say that
he'd heard about a loss of at least one "Blackhawk" helicopter.
But don't take our word for it. Judge Steve Douglas' testimony for
yourself at the Sightings Radio Web site -
http://www.broadcast.com/shows/endoftheline/99archives.stm, or go
directly to the audio file -
http://www.audionet.com/shows/endoftheline/9908/end0816.ram, provided
to us by our U.K. source. The relevant discussion takes place at
about the 2:15:00 mark of this audio file.
As for the Chinese Embassy story, fast-forward to about 2:44:00 mark
of the Jeff Rense show audio file. "It was no accident. They knew
what they were hitting," Douglas said of the B-2 bomber strike just
before midnight on May 7 (see S99-71, Day 47, Item 1, May 8).
In other words, Douglas' eavesdropping seems to confirm what the
Chinese have thought all along - that it was a deliberate strike. And
his listening in on the U.S. military communications debunks another
set of lies, denials and official apologies to the Chinese by the
Clinton administration officials, starting with the President (also
see "Who Lost China?" - TiM GW Bulletin 98/8-3, Aug. 16 -
http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins99/tim99-8-3.html).
Now, whichever side of this issue you've been on till now (we've been
leaning, for example, toward the "accident" theory), see the key
missing element was the motive. Douglas provides it in the interview.
"The Chinese 'stealth' (aircraft) expert was in the country," he
opined. And as well all know, after one huge embarrassment of having
one of its "untouchable" aircraft scattered all over Serb farmers'
fields on Mar. 27 (see S99-143, "Peacefarce" 37, Item 1, Aug. 30 -
http://www.truthinmedia.org/Kosovo/Peace/ps37.html), the "omnipotent"

[CTRL] Give back the church bells
-Caveat Lector- www.WorldNetDaily.com FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 03 1999 Give back the church bells Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. As long as we're on the subject, let's talk about another U.S. government attack on a church. One hundred years ago, during its war on Spain, the U.S. invaded the Philippines, sprayed bullets far and wide, and put the entire country under martial law. The result was costly for the U.S. -- it created a habit of imperialist aggression that is still with us today. And it was also costly for the Philippines: an entire generation suffered from the violence associated with a brutal occupation, or the resulting disease and political turmoil. Now to the church. In Balangiga, the U.S. Army made slaves of the residents and turned the place into a work camp. With indefatigable spirit, the local residents decided not to take it anymore. Church bells of the local Catholic parish began to ring, signaling a revolt, and 45 U.S. soldiers died. In response, the American commander gave orders to murder "everyone in sight," which they promptly did. The result: as many as 50,000 dead Filipinos, among whom were women and children. A bit on the disproportionate side perhaps? Indeed, but like the FBI at Waco, the U.S. military in the Philippines had only one end in mind: total victory. Adding insult to massacre, the U.S. Army then stole the church bells and took them to Warren Air Force base in Cheyenne, Wyo., where they hang today. But now the parish in the Philippines wants them back, as a symbol that all this is just ancient history. They even rebuilt the belfry at the parish in anticipation of the bells' return. But as we've seen in the Waco case, the U.S. government is notoriously unwilling to admit error, particularly bloody, egregious error. Hence, so far, the bells are not forthcoming, despite the attempt on the part of many groups to intervene and put an end to the parading of religious objects as war loot. No, instead Congress has passed a resolution forbidding the return of war booty without its authorization. In case you think the Filipinos are making an unjust demand, consider the context. There was no justification for either the U.S. presence in the Philippines or the violence with which the U.S. carried it out. At stake was little more than a militarized trade dispute between Spain and the U.S., while Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines were caught in the crossfire. An American officer testified in a letter to the Philadelphia Ledger on Nov. 11, 1901: "Our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, and children, prisoners and captives, active insurgents and suspected people, from lads of ten up, an idea prevailing that the Filipino was little better than a dog." And this gentlemen was writing in defense of the war! Or consider this letter written before the invasion by another officer: "There is no use in mincing words We exterminated the American Indians, and I guess most of us are proud of it, or, at least believe that the end justified the means; and we must have no scruples about exterminating this other race standing in the way of progress and enlightenment, if it is necessary." Neither was this merely the attitude of a few recalcitrant soldiers. Using religion as his cover, President William McKinley later justified his behavior in similar terms. As he told a delegation of Methodist clergymen: "I went down on my knees and prayed to Almighty God for light and guidance ... and one night late it came to me this way We could not leave (the Philippines) to themselves -- they were unfit for self-government -- and they would soon have anarchy and misrule over there worse than Spain's was. ... There was nothing left for us to do but take them all and educate the Filipinos, and uplift and Christianize them." Recall that the Philippines was largely Catholic, which the Protestant ruling elite in this country did not consider to be a Christian religion. And what better way to treat these supposed non-Christians than to starve and kill them? In a similar way, the Branch Davidians were considered to be a dangerous and uncivilized cult that needed to be either mainstreamed or exterminated. They resisted and suffered, as so many before them have suffered. The costs to the Filipinos, reports Joseph Stromberg in his essay in the collection, "The Costs of War," were immense. Fully 50,000 died in combat, and another 220,000 civilians died from gunfire, starvation, and the effects of concentration camps. The oppression continued for most of the first half of the century, in which the U.S. continued to enforce its rule over the country, at the behest of large U.S. corporations doing business there. Why was the U.S. doing all this? The short answer is that the government wanted to expand its power and that of its connected interests, regardless of the costs. Why did the U.S. kill so many? The people resisted. Why did the Army steal the bells? Arrogance: the

[CTRL] Waco, Vince Foster, and the Secret War 2/2
-Caveat Lector- Waco, Vince Foster, and the Secret War 2/2 Copyright 1999 Mack White This money had come to Foster due to his involvement in what is now known as the October Surprise. Allegedly, Foster, acting under the auspices of George Bush and Casper Weinberger, had arranged for the transfer of nuclear launch codes to Israel, in return for their role in mediating the delayed release of the hostages in Iran. Numerous parties, then, may have had reason to kill Foster, in order to prevent the scandal that was about to break. Some say it was the Mossad, and claim surveillance video exists which shows Mossad agents leaving Foster's apartment on the day of his death. Yet, officially, the explanation for Foster's death remains suicide. We are asked to believe that this lawyer was a sensitive soul who, with the Travel Office scandal and Whitewater threatening to engulf him, could no longer endure the cruel world of politics and so bade farewell not only to Washington, but to life itself. Vince Foster's widow, however, has another explanation for his alleged suicide. In an Associated Press story, she stated his death had something to do with the Waco incident, which had occurred only a few months before. According to her, he felt responsible for what happened in Waco, and that is why he killed himself. If it is true that Foster was involved in the modification of PROMIS, and if it is true, as the surviving Branch Davidians claim, that Jeff Little was involved in a government project which sounds suspiciously like the modification of PROMIS, then it would seem we have found another, deeper link between Foster and Waco. Many have alleged that Mt. Carmel Center was an intelligence front of some kind. For instance, the minister of a rival Davidian church in Waco told me that, under Koresh, it had been a biowarfare factory. This view was shared by lawyer and "Patriot" Linda Thompson, who in a Penthouse interview, alleged it was a CIA facility, and that the ATF raid was orchestrated by the FBI, acting in alliance with Israel's Mossad, to shut the factory. At first I was inclined to dismiss this idea. However, since Waco, we have seen evidence that a Japanese "cult" was involved in the manufacture and terrorist use of deadly sarin gas. So this cannot be ruled out as the sort of activity for which a church might be used as a front. And yet, there is no evidence biological warfare agents were being manufactured at Waco. There is evidence, however, that an amphetamine factory existed at Waco. This comes from the Davidians themselves. After David Koresh took over leadership of the group in the 1980s, the Davidians were renovating Mt. Carmel and found evidence of this factory. They alleged it had been the work of former leader George Roden. Indeed, it was well known throughout Texas in the early 1980s that the "best speed" came from Waco. Roden left after a power struggle with Koresh. At last report, he was living in a mental institution in Big Spring, Texas. On at least two occasions he has escaped from this facility, and once managed to travel all the way to the Israeli embassy in New York. He claims some sort of connection with the Israeli government. Israel figured prominently in Koresh's life, too. It was while on a trip to Israel in the 1980s that he received a "vision" which started him on his new career as spiritual leader. The book IWhy Waco?/I reports that Koresh continued to receive visions after returning to the U.S., and that the insights he used for his sermons always originated as pictures being beamed into his head. One is reminded here of the Gnostic imagery which the late science fiction author Philip K. Dick claimed was beamed into his head by an external entity. Perhaps Dick's and Koresh's "visions" originated from God, perhaps from extraterrestrials, perhaps from their own minds, or perhaps they were delivered by microwave. More than one person has suggested Dick might have been a mind control victim, and the allegation has also been raised that Waco might have been a Jonestown-style mind control facility. Whatever the explanation for Koresh's visions, his leadership represented a new era for the church. There is no evidence speed, or sarin, or anything of the kind,was manufactured during his tenure at Waco. What does seem to have gone on, though, is computer espionage--if what the Davidians say about their deceased brethren Jeff Little and Wayne Martin can be believed. The question then becomes, if Little and Martin were engaged in such activity, what could have been the nature of the information they were gathering? In Day 51, Richard Mosley took a guess and suggested it might have had something to do with ATF-sponsored illegal arms distributions to urban street gangs. However, he has since eliminated that suggestion from the latest edition of the documentary, preferring to leave the question open. The presence of a speed lab at Waco has led some to speculate on a connection
[CTRL] Waco, Vince Foster, and the Secret War 1/2
-Caveat Lector- Waco, Vince Foster, and the Secret War 1/2 Copyright 1999 Mack White In the year after the famous fire at Waco, I met the surviving Branch Davidians. It was through a friend of mine, Richard Mosley, who produced the documentary Day 51: The True Story of Waco. I had done some research on Jonestown, the CIA mind control facility in Guyana which had come to a spectular end in 1977. Officially, Jonestown was a mass suicide, and when the Mt. Carmel complex in Waco caught on the fire, the FBI immediately labeled it "another Jonestown." In reality, however, Jonestown itself was not "another Jonestown." It has been established long ago that most of the Jonestown dead did not voluntarily drink the Evil Kool-Aid, but showed signs of having been either forcibly injected with cyanide or killed by machine gun. For his documentary on Waco, Richard needed a talking head to describe Jonestown. So I was pressed into service, and was interviewed for the documentary. Then, the following April, one year after the fire, the documentary was finished and he invited me to attend a screening in Waco with the surviving Branch Davidians. This came at an opportune time, for I had just been assigned by The Nose magazine to do a three-page piece of comics journalism, "Waco: One Year Later" (later reprinted in Villa of the Mysteries #2). I was eager to meet the surviving Davidians and hear firsthand what had happened. So I drove to Waco on a Wednesday night--the first anniversary date, April 19, was exactly one week away--and met them. There were about a dozen Davidians in attendance, including Clive Doyle, Sheila Martin, and Wally Kennett. I found these people to be--well, just that--people, not the fiendish "cultists" described by the mainstream media. They were a quiet lot, not at all pushy with their religion, and seemed, more than anything else, sad and puzzled by the way they had been demonized by the government and the mainstream media. They told me how, during the previous year, they had all been interviewed by a woman reporter from ABC's 20/20. They had told her many things, such as how the Davidians who had run out the back of the flaming building--the side not covered by television cameras--had been killed by FBI sniper fire. The reporter had been excited by these revelations, and told them it was going to be a powerful segment. "Be sure to watch," she told them. They did, and were dismayed to find their interviews liberally edited. The business about the snipers, among other things, had been left out. The reporter called them the next day to apologize. It was not her fault, she told them. It had been her producer in New York who had censored the story. Fortunately, Day 51 was not subject to censorship. Among the things dealt with in that documentary was the FBI sniper fire. Yet, at that early date, there was no hard physical evidence for these shootings--only the testimony of the surviving Davidians .Since then, however, another documentary has appeared--Waco: The Rules of Engagement--in which infrared video taken by a surveillance helicopter clearly shows sniper fire, as well as tanks firing incendiary devices into the building. One thing not dealt with in Rules of Engagement, however, is the cause of the Waco massacre. Yes, we get an explanation, but it is the standard one: It was funding time in Congress, the ATF wanted to put on a big show, things got out of hand, mistakes were made, etc. etc. But is that really all there is to say about the matter? Day 51 interviewed Davidian Wally Kennett, who stated the ATF was in actuality not looking for an illegal arsenal when they raided Mt. Carmel on February 28, 1993, but rather for information stored on a computer. This information, he alleged, had been compiled by two Davidians--Jeff Little and Wayne Martin--both of whom were killed in the final assault on April 19. Furthermore, Kennett states that it was this computer, not guns or anything else, that was kept in the room which the ATF attempted to enter the morning of the raid. If this is so, then it explains why the ATF went ahead with the raid on February 28, when they knew the bulk of the arsenal had been taken to Austin for a gun show that morning. Jeff Little was known by the Davidians to have been a "computer expert" who had previously worked for the Yamaha Corporation, and had been involved in a shady project to modify a law enforcement software to contain a "trap door." At the time Day 51 was produced, this tidbit of information meant nothing. However, in the years that have followed, new information has emerged which gives it a great deal of meaning. The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casalaro, by Kenn Thomas and Jim Keith, is one of several books to emerge recently which detail how the Reagan Justice Department stole PROMIS, a law enforcement software, from the firm INSLAW, and modified it to contain a "trap door." PROMIS was then sold by the government to various

[CTRL] Stray U.S. security faxes fly at NZ chicken plant
-Caveat Lector- Stray U.S. security faxes fly at NZ chicken plant Updated 10:34 PM ET September 2, 1999 WELLINGTON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - A chicken processing plant has been bombarded with stray faxes from U.S. security officials preparing for a visit to Auckland by President Bill Clinton, the New Zealand Herald reported on Friday. One fax detailed the installation of White House communications equipment in the Auckland airport control tower ahead of the arrival Air Force One, carrying Clinton to a summit of Asia Pacific leaders on September 12 and 13. "One of them had the name of a military officer with his code name and security number," plant owner Saji Philips told the Herald. "For us it doesn't really matter, but if this fell into the wrong hands, who knows what could happen. It's really quite frightening," Philips said. He said that several weeks ago he had asked the U.S. support office for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit to stop the faxes but they kept coming. A spokesman for the support office declined on Friday to comment on the report, but a U.S. embassy official told Reuters: "We are looking into the situation..."

[CTRL] Fwd: Yeltsin Discusses Banking Scandal
In a message dated 9/3/99 7:42:59 AM Central Daylight Time, AOL News writes: Subj:Yeltsin Discusses Banking Scandal Date: 9/3/99 7:42:59 AM Central Daylight Time From: AOL News BCC: Ahab42 Yeltsin Discusses Banking Scandal .c The Associated Press By GREG MYRE MOSCOW (AP) - President Boris Yeltsin, who has remained silent on an alleged money laundering scandal linked to Russia, summoned a top security officer to the Kremlin today for private talks on the controversy. Yeltsin makes only occasional public remarks these days, and has left Kremlin aides to respond to several corruption scandals swirling around his administration. In the most serious case, U.S. investigators are trying to determine whether Russian criminal groups laundered up to $10 billion through the Bank of New York. No one has been charged with a crime, and the Russian government has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Still, Russian officials believe the country's reputation is being harmed, and the Federal Security Service is investigating the extent of Russian involvement. The head of the security service, Nikolai Patrushev, met Yeltsin in the Kremlin, and told the president that the Bank of New York scandal was tied to U.S. politics. ``I reported to the president that the case is political ... and linked to the elections in the United States,'' Patrushev said. ``Of course, it's absurd to talk about such a sum'' being diverted illegally. Russian and U.S. authorities have held several meetings on the case, Patrushev noted, but said the FBI hasn't provided the Russians with any leads for them to pursue. ``If they have some specific evidence, we will carefully consider that,'' he said. ``As of today, they haven't provided us with any such materials.'' U.S. newspapers have reported that the Russian government may have diverted loan money from the International Monetary Fund, but the IMF and the U.S. government say they have no evidence of this. The U.S. government - the IMF's largest member - said it won't decide whether to approve new loans until a full accounting is made of the IMF money Russia has already received. The IMF was expected to release a $640 million installment of a $4.5 billion loan package this month. An IMF mission is currently in Moscow to review Russia's compliance with conditions for the package. Meanwhile, Russia's Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said the country ``does not intend to defend itself in the wake of media publications.'' ``We have no reason to explain ourselves. As for Russia's good name, it has one,'' Ivanov told the Interfax news agency while on a trip to Armenia. The Russian press has denounced the Western reports in the Bank of New York case, calling it an anti-Russian witch hunt and a return to the Cold War. The reaction reflects the recent decline in relations between the United States and Russia. The two nations clashed over the Kosovo conflict and Moscow is increasingly nationalistic, a stance welcomed by many Russians nostalgic for the days of Soviet superpower status.

[CTRL] Fw: What's New for Aug 27, 1999
-Caveat Lector- WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 27 Aug 99 Washington, DC 1. DEVOLUTION: WILL NO ONE STAND UP FOR DARWIN? True vertebrate fossils first appear in the Middle Ordovician some 500 million years ago. It's not clear just when the spine began to disappear among presidential wannabes, but little trace seems to remain. Last week, when WN asked Gore's campaign office for his reaction to the Kansas School Board action, his spokesperson dodged behind local control (WN 20 Aug 99). This week, Reuters posed the same question: "The Vice President favors the teaching of evolution in public schools," a spokesperson replied. He should have stopped there. "Obviously that decision should and will be made at the local level, and localities should be free to teach creationism as well." Gasp! The Supreme Court ruled that unconstitutional in 1987. Informed of that, the spokesperson called Reuters several hours later with a clarification, "The Vice President supports the right of school boards to teach creationism within the context of religious courses and not science courses." 2. SPY HYSTERIA: THE CASE AGAINST WEN HO LEE APPEARS TO COLLAPSE. On Monday, Notra Trulock, who triggered the investigation into suspected Chinese espionage, resigned amid charges that ethnicity led to his singling out of Lee. It has been clear for weeks that there was insufficient evidence to charge Lee with espionage, now it seems unlikely that he will be charged even with mishandling classified information, particularly since the government has decided not to prosecute former CIA director John Deutch for similar violations. Meanwhile, the Society of Professional Scientists and Engineers, a 26-year old employee organization at Lawrence Livermore, has called for reexamination of the decision to impose widespread polygraph testing http://www.spse.org. 3. BUDGET: ACADEMIC PORK GOES UP AS SCIENCE BUDGET GOES DOWN. What is going on in the House of Representatives? As former APS President D. Allan Bromley pointed out in a Washington Post op-ed on Thursday, House appropriators have slashed NASA science $678M; science at DOE is cut by $116M; and the NSF budget is $275M below the president's request. As if that weren't enough, a front page story in the New York Times on Tuesday, picking up on a WN story (WN 6 Aug 99), points out that a lot of what remains is earmarked for projects in the home districts of the appropriators without benefit of proposal submission or peer review. 4. CHANDRA: X-RAY TELESCOPE SENDS BACK ITS FIRST IMAGES! Amidst all the gloomy news of budget cuts and human foolishness, NASA released the glorious first image from Chandra. The picture of Cassiopeia A supernova remnants may show not only that Chandra works, but also the long-sought compact mass at the center. As a measure of confidence, Chandra is in a highly elliptical orbit to avoid radiation from the magnetosphere and cannot be serviced. Chandra images are posted at http://www.chandra.nasa.gov.

"Chip" Tatum We flew into several villages on the Nicaragua/Honduras border to recon for a later mission. I recorded actual village locations for cargo drops by CH-47's scheduled later in April. Three of the villages were Rus Rus, Waspam and Santa Anna. Mr. [Oliver] North was pleased with the operations. He stated that Vice President Bush appreciated the extra effort I was giving. General Alverez told Mr. North of my ability to sneak into his airfield under their radar. He asked North if I could instruct some of his security team and pilots for future use. North declined stating that I was a national secret, laughing. We landed at Santa Anna and met with Enrique Bermudez and other Contra leaders. We were then taken to a processing area of some sort. As we approached, there was a strong smell of jet fuel and acetone. There were several tactical bladders, used for carrying fuels, sitting around the area. Six large fuel pods were on the ground but had the tops torched off. Inside there was fuel and ground-up coca leaves. Mr. North stated the following to the other passengers, "One more year of this and we'll all retire." He then made a remark concerning Barry Seal and Governor Clinton. "If we can keep those Arkansas hicks in line, that is," referring to the loss of monies as determined the week prior during their meeting in Costa Rica. I stood silently by the vat of leaves, listening to the conversation. General Alverez had gone with the Contra leader to discuss logistics. The other three - North, Rodriguez, and Ami Nir - continued through the wooden building, inspecting the cocaine. North continued, "...but he (Vice President Bush) is very concerned about those missing monies. I think he's going to have Jeb (Bush) arrange something out of Columbia," he told his comrades, not t hinking twice of my presence. What Mr. North was referring to ended up being the assassination of Barry Seal by members of the Medellin Cartel in early 1986. "How about 'Pineapple'?" Rodriguez asked. (Speaking of General Noriega.) "Naw," North answered, "something's up there." Bush later insured Noriega was indicted and imprisoned for drug trafficking. I recalled the mysterious army officers remarks in Ojo de Agua, "Tell no one. There's no one big enough in your chain of command." I just heard North tell Rodriguez that the Vice President, the Governor of Arkansas and the three of them are manufacturing cocaine. I flew them back to La Cieba and I continued back to Tela in time for drinks downtown with my crew and friends. We returned the following day to Palmerola. I went to Ops and put a few notes on the back of the flight plan. = Year 2000 Companies Scramble for Y2K Cash Borrow, borrow, borrow, before the end WASHINGTON - Major corporations, some foreign countries and even the U.S. Treasury have begun to raise enormous amounts of cash just in case something goes wrong somewhere as computer calendars flip over to 2000 from 1999 on Jan. 1. These preparations already are increasing U.S. interest rates across the board, analysts said. The borrowers say they are rushing to sell many billions of dollars of debt now, not because they fear a computer-glitch catastrophe but because they fear that investors will worry such a catastrophe might occur and therefore will not buy securities sold near the end of the year. There is no panic in the market, as there was a year ago after the Russian government defaulted on part of its debt. Instead, the markets are functioning well, but with some participants acting as if they expect a panic later. This flood of debt is lifting the interest rates the issuers have to pay to attract buyers. That, in turn, raises rates on many other types of business and consumer loans. Meanwhile, many lenders and investors are pulling their money out of developing-country markets, where significant year-end computer problems are considered much more likely. ''When it comes to raising money in the capital markets, it's prudent to avoid the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year,'' said Thomas Capo, senior vice president and treasurer of automaker DaimlerChrylser AG, which raised $4.5 billion through a bond issue last month. ''Why take what is probably a very small amount of risk?'' ''Corporations are striving to raise cash so they don't have to rely on financial markets late in the year,'' said Mickey Levy, chief economist at Bank of America in New York. ''It is across the spectrum'' in terms of different types of securities and creditworthiness of the borrowers. For example, GE Capital Corp., the financial services unit of General Electric Co., said it had arranged special credit lines with its bankers similar to a special

[CTRL] ATF agents Shooting with David Koresh 9 days before raid . . .
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.indirect.com/www/dhardy/DK_Shooting.html A HREF="http://www.indirect.com/www/dhardy/DK_Shooting.html"Shooting with David Koresh/A - ATF's official position is, of course, that David Koresh and the Davidians were a bunch of reclusive, paranoid cop-killers who would not approached by law enforcement save with overwhelming force and, when so approached, deliberately planned an ambush and mass murder. ATF had stationed several undercover agents, including Robert Rodriguez, across the road from the Davidian residence, in what became known as the "undercover house." The Davidians did not take long to figure out these were undercover agents. When David Koresh called 911 in the middle of the February 28 gunfight, at a point when he had no source of knowledge save what he'de known before the raid, he casually told the Sheriff's dispatcher that he had invited "Robert, you know, the guy you--your agent" to talk with him. (Click here for the audio). Fact: Koresh was understating the matter. On February 19, nine days before the bloody raid, the ATF agents went over and asked David Koresh to go shooting. He agreed. In fact, he provided the ammunition. And the agents handed him their guns. Don't take my word for it. Here's the agents' report. pix Now, I don't want to be cynical. I'm sure there is some reason why undercover agents investigating a fellow they think is a murderous fanatic would go to his house, invite him to go shooting, and hand him their guns. And there must be a reason why, if he really was a cop-killer, he would shoot their guns, hand them back and wave good-bye. Not to mention pay for their ammunition, knowing they were police. I just can't think of these reasons at the moment. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations. Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.

Two men had overpowered her, stabbed her, thrown her in a car trunk and driven away. But in a stroke of what might seem like amazing luck, they did not realize she had a mobile phone. She called local police in Albany, Ore., begging for help but they were helpless. In this case, 911 proved just about useless: The police had no idea where Wilson was calling from, and neither did she. They spent the better part of the next 24 hours searching in vain, combing the town block by block while precious time ticked away. A new technology which would have told police precisely where Wilson was hadnt arrived in time to help. = Like car navigation systems, it could offer directions, even to walkers. It could point out nearby restaurants, even offer up coupons for pizza places down the block. But thats just the beginning. PLACE A 911 CALL from a land line, and authorities know exactly where the call came from. But place an emergency call from a cell phone, and wireless carriers can give police only the roughest idea where to look. In Wilsons case, Sprint was able to identify the cell tower that relayed her first call at 9:20 p.m Aug. 4. That gave police a circle to search that had a radius of one mile, according to Albany public information officer Marilyn Smith. But Wilson said she was in a moving car so police within a 75-mile radius were alerted. The police chief came in during the middle of the night. Officers worked overtime looking for Wilson. Sprint technicians worked through the night. Local TV stations broadcast the unfolding drama. We kept running into dead ends, assistant chief of police Don OMalley said. When 911 is just three more digits As the night wore on, and Wilson kept calling, authorities became suspicious. Seven calls and 15 hours later, Wilsons drama was declared a hoax. No cell phone and certainly not her older model, as determined by Sprint could last that long without a recharge. And despite her claims she was on the move, all the cell calls were routed from that original tower. Bell Labs' Giovanni Vannucci describes how GPS works. The woman identifying herself as Wilson was never found though she did break an Oregon law prohibiting illegal use of 911, and she did send authorities on a wild goose chase. Experts say similar, if less dramatic, searches are carried out daily. Perhaps 100,000 people a day dial 911 from a wireless phone, with that number on the rise, and 30 percent are unable to tell authorities where theyre calling from. But such confusion will end when a new technology called wireless geolocation is in place. By marrying a Global Positioning System (GPS) device with a wireless phone, authorities will be able to pinpoint within about five meters where a wireless phone is when its turned on. Its a bit of a shotgun wedding. The Federal Communications Commission has mandated that cell companies have such pinpoint accuracy by October 2001. So a fleet of software and chip makers, including Lucent Technologies Inc., are lining up to perform the ceremony. In the meantime, wireless firms are discovering that a cell phone with GPS attached can do a lot more than just dial 911. Like car navigation systems, it could offer directions, even to walkers. It could point out nearby restaurants, even offer up coupons for pizza places down the block. But thats just the beginning. Researchers at Lucents Bell Labs foresee location units being handed to children so parents always know where they are or criminals, under house arrest, for similar reasons. It could even be used to recover stolen cars or laptop computers. Steve Poizner, CEO of Snap-Track, which also makes the GPS-wireless technology, said one of the more whimsical applications of such a service might involve a family-and-friends circle. Imagine you walk into a shopping center this could tell you which of your friends are nearby and where they are, he said. Poizners company has been at it since 1995, and he says hell be selling the product commercially in Japan through NTTs Dokomo before the year is out. U.S. sales are expected to start next year. Thats just the first salvo in the coming battle to offer these wild personal location services. Battle lines are already being drawn: Snap-Track also has agreements with Motorola and Texas Instruments Inc. Lucent has a deal with Qualcomm Inc. And another player in the space, SiRF Technology Inc., has a deal with Ericsson. HOW IT WORKS Merely slapping a GPS receiver on the back of a cell phone wouldnt do the trick, for several reasons. Chief among them it would double the
[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] the truth will set you free.
From: Daniel Hopsicker [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is small satisfaction in being able to say 'i told you so;' nevertheless it gives me no joy to report that Terry Reed called me last evening, and confirmed what i had strongly suspected: he was NOT present at the DEA sting of George W. Bush Jr(Dubya) that took place at Tamiani Airport in Miami in 1985. Based on his record as a true and genuine American hero, I'm inclined to give Terry a 'pass' on this, and attribute it to his desire to see the truth about Bush come out. He also stated that he had devoted an entire chapter on this incident in Compromised which was cut out by his publisher, and that this incident will be a focus of the movie he is working on. Mike Ruppert cannot be faulted for going with this, especially as he has broadened his quest for sources in his latest newsletter. I've been equally guilty of letting what is our mutual eagerness to expose this issue lead me on a step farther than current evidence warrants. A year ago I reported that Ken Starr had actually authored the deal memo allowing the CIA to 'turn a blind eye' on drug smuggling, instead of merely being there at the time, and in the office, where it was written. This remains unproven. What seems clear at this time is that there IS a true and verifiable story to be gotten here; the question is, will we be able to get it? On that count, I admit to having doubts. The one person I am aware of who WAS there, and who can be easily reached today, is as dirty as they come, a man whom one high law enforcement source accused--in my presence--of multiple murders. This man is, not coincidentally, a 'friend' of Bill Bottoms. But I will be working with Ruppert and Reed and anyone else who thinks they can help find those tapes.

-Caveat Lector- Waco, Vince Foster, and the Secret War 1/2 Copyright 1999 Mack White An after-thought: Recently, Rumor Mill News reported that the past few weeks' revelations with regard to Waco (evidence of the FBI's firing of incendiary devices, involvement of Delta Force, etc.) in the mainstream media were the result of factional fighting at the highest levels of power. According to this theory, the Bush family has been moving away from the New World Order faction. Allegations with regard to Gov. George W. Bush's cocaine usage are supposedly pressure tactics to bring the Bush family back into the New World Order fold. However, Bush's counter-move has been to reveal information on Waco, which would be damaging to the Clinton/New World Order faction. This is an interesting possiblity, which, if true, would seem to corroborate the theory in my article that Waco represented the surface eruption of a covert civil war.

Rhianwen === From: "Bard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gay Awareness Film Sparks Debate By Martha Irvine Associated Press Writer Tuesday, August 31, 1999; 12:30 p.m. EDT CHICAGO (AP) -- Third-graders in New York are seen debating the idea of gay marriage. Eighth-graders in San Francisco are heard firing questions at a gay man and a lesbian who visit their classroom. Storytime for first- and second-graders at a school in Cambridge, Mass., is shown to include the book ``Asha's Mums'' about a little girl who has two lesbian mothers. All are excerpts from a controversial documentary, ``It's Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues in School,'' which first caused a stir when several public television stations decided to air it this summer. Now it's being used by many school districts nationwide as a training tool for teachers -- unifying what some say is a growing move to incorporate gay and lesbian issues into school curriculums. Critics say talk about such issues belongs at home. But others argue it's a matter of dealing with issues that students already see every day in newspapers, on television, in movies -- and maybe even in their own communities or classrooms. ``Both schools and families have to address the issue somehow because it's there -- and it's not going back into the closet,'' said Tony D'Augelli, a psychologist at Penn State's College of Health and Human Development. Chicago school officials -- who stress that ``It's Elementary'' will not be shown to students -- said last week that the district's 589 principals would view the film beginning in September and receive a copy for their schools Today, however, officials said they have revised that plan, saying principals will be told about the film during training sessions and can request a copy for their schools. A city official who helped get the film into the district and who will conduct the training sessions said the decision to provide the film was aimed at fostering tolerance and, in turn, preventing violence against gay and lesbian students. ``It's practical. It makes good sense. It's about safety for children. I don't think anybody, regardless of their religious background, can argue with that,'' said Mary Morten, Mayor Richard Daley's liaison on gay and lesbian issues. School officials in San Francisco, who also are using ``It's Elementary,'' have gone as far as imposing a ban on anti-gay slurs. ``Go stand on a playground. I guarantee you that you will hear within minutes kids saying, 'Oh, that's so gay. What are you, a fag?''' said Kevin Gogin, who counsels kids at the San Francisco Unified School District.

My hair was grey. I say "was" because, with the encouragement of my friends, I finally decided to color it. First I went blonde. I knew I was in trouble when the colorist fainted. I knew I was in BIG trouble when I looked in the mirror. It looked just like the wig on a Chatty Cathy Doll. My friend, Lucianne Goldberg, who Mirabella magazine calls one of the 25 Smartest Women in its current issue, came to the salon. She was very brave -- she didn't scream. She just got me into a cab so I could go home before my knees buckled. Part II: The next day, I decided...maybe everyone was right. I knew I had to go "red." Well...I did. Unfortunately, it came out a w bit dark; sort of like having a dead monkey on top of my head. So here's the thing: You are very smart and really pretty and know a thing or two about style, fashion, and how to hang in there through adversity. I wonder if you can tell me: 1) Do I have to wear a paper bag over my head for the rest of my life? 2) As the co-host of a Radio Show, do you think the audience knows my hair came out too dark? 3) Do you think it's just something I have to get used to? (Like my thighs in a bathing suit, a slot machine that never pays off, or that miserable Hillary Clinton never giving it a rest and going back into her cave?) I think your advice column is sensational. ...Now if only I can figure out how to get my hair a little bit lighter...

I have found myself in a rather awkward situation. I am married to a twin. Her sister lives with us also and I have a difficult time telling them apart. There are ways to tell, but after I have a drink or two, it becomes even more difficult. Two days ago, I accidentally seduced my wife's twin sister. Her sister never let me know that she wasn't my wife. But she told my wife the next day what happened and now my wife is threatening to divorce me, and is demanding her twin sister move out. Her sister now hates me because she blames me for breaking up their family. I never meant to create any problem.

[CTRL] Barry Chammish on: UFO Triangles in Israel (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 19:51:49 +0300 (IDT) From: barry chamish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MICHAEL SPITZER [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Israel THE FLYING TRIANGLES MAKE A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO ISRAEL by Barry Chamish The summer of 1999 saw the return of flying triangular formations over Israel and as always, their appearance was greeted with video cameras to solidly document them. With the media uninterested in the phenomena, it is Israel's old guard of skywatchers who made certain that the aerial invaders were captured on film. Take July 22, as a case in point. This was the evening of Tisha B'av, a sad Jewish fast day, recalling the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans. The triangular craft was first spotted in the north of the country at 7:30 PM, sundown, in the cities of Tsfat and Yokneam. It was videotaped in both places. Then the phone network went to work. Rafi Malka, a professional photographer who, in 1988, videotaped Israel's first UFO, over Haifa, was told of the triangle. He managed to tape it from his home in Ashdod and earned the distinction of being the first Israeli to videotape two separate UFOs. He phoned his nephew Doron Cohen in Yavne who spread the word in that city. Among those he contacted was professor Rami Shkalim, who produced an absolutely brilliant videotape of the craft. He was one of over two hundred people in three groups viewed the craft in Yavne until it disappeared at approxomately 12:30 AM. But he was the only one to have just purchased a Sony 320 zoom video camera, essentially professional equipment. I drove to Professor Shkalim's home and watched his film. It ranks as one of the most exciting in Israel's brief UFO history, and that is no mean accomplishment. For ten minutes we see a craft with two silvery lights, both surrrunded by a perfectly circular red aura twice their size. Then the craft seems to turn and we see a tiny third light to the left. Then it seems to turn again and we have a triangle of lights. Then the craft becomes two lights, which emit spirally turning lights, like twisting fireworks, before the craft disappears to the west. During the night the craft traversed an oval shaped path in the upper northern sky. Dr. Shkalim is some witness! He has a PhD in both physics and philosophy and is currently a professor of Kabbala at Bar Ilan University. And he took the courageous step of going public with his videotape. He called the popular television morning news program, Goof Morning Israel, and volunteered to present his tape on camera. He appeared with the Israeli establishment's prime debunker, Prof. Ariel Cohen and tore him apart with the solidness of his evidence. Cohen, meanwhile was more ignorant than usual. In a classic statement of perverted misknowledge, he claimed that, "In 1947, the first UFOs were seen by Arnold Palmer." It was a media triumph for Prof. Shkalim, and by its end the program's host chided Cohen, telling him, "This film is too weird to be written of as a planet or anything else we know." The fact that the UFO appeared nationwide on Tish B'av follows the pattern of major incidents falling on Jewish holy days. Without going into the details of each encounter, (they are summarized with photos at http://members.tripod.com/~ufoisrael), the Shikmona Beach incident occured on Rosh Hashana evening, the Kadima sightings were on the Sabbath, the crop formation at Tel Adashim was also formed on Rosh Hashana evening, while an even more spectacular formation at Bet Zarzir was formed on Passover evening. Israel's most documented UFO incidents occur with undeniable regularity on Jewish holy evenings and the latest Tisha B'av sighting has convinced many local observors that this can no longer be dismissed as accidental. On August 27, ufologist David Ronen was skywatching as usual and spotted a triangular UFO over Tel Aviv. He quickly phoned Gil Bar and told him, "The craft is heading towards Rishon Letzion. Get your camera." Gil rushed to his roof and managed to film the craft before his camera's batteries gave out. He only had two minutes to work with but it was enough. Gil captured precisely the same triangular UFO that Adrian Dvir and his group of "alien healers" had filmed the October before over Rishon Letzion. In November 1997, fifteen year old Gil filmed a UFO over downtown Rishon Letzion being chased by an earthly plane in broad daylight. Now he, like Rafi Malka, joins the elite club of Israeli skywatchers who have filmed two separate UFOs. --end = Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Mike Spitzer* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all,

[CTRL] Fwd: RITALIN NAZISM
A question of ethics... ARGUMENTATION PURPORTING THAT THE LONG-TERM COMPULSORY USE OF RITALIN BY CHILDREN VIOLATES ANTI-NAZI LAW: The Nuremberg Code was written to protect All People from the types of crimes against humanity committed by the Nazi regime. The Nuremberg Code states that in medical experimentation "voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential." The Code also states that such consent must be obtained "without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over- reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion..." [1] Let's observe how the long-term use of Ritalin by children (given to millions of kids to make them more obedient in school) can violate the Nuremberg Code: LONG-TERM RITALIN SAFETY EFFICACY IN CHILDREN IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL The manufacturer of Ritalin (Novartis) states in their current package insert: "Sufficient data on safety and efficacy of long-term use of Ritalin in children are not yet available. ... Long-term effects of Ritalin in children have not been well established." (1998) This means that long-term use of Ritalin in children is still in the experimental stage and conforms to the definition of "medical experiment": a tentative medical procedure. Furthermore, data is gathered by the FDA on adverse effects of approved drugs in order to monitor for potential health hazards, which constitutes an ongoing drug experiment in which all drug-using patients are subjects, which is a major part of the long-term data. Long-term use in children is also ALWAYS a test, or experiment, per child to see if Ritalin continues to suppress or begins to cause other forms of harm to the child. (Research suggests that long-term Ritalin use could be associated with brain atrophy, psychiatric disorders, and stunted growth. It should also be noted that in medical research the phrase "long-term" can mean anywhere from three weeks to three years.) RITALIN USE BY KIDS IS INHERENTLY COERCIVE As Peter Breggin, MD, has established, [2] many-to-most children don't like and don't want to take Ritalin. This indicates that children are being coerced to take Ritalin. Even if a child offers no resistance, the conditions for obtaining consent stipulated in the Nuremberg Code can still be violated by the very nature of a child's powerless subordination to the rule of adults, which clearly constitutes an "element of force." (An aside: the Nuremberg Code also states that a subject must "have legal capacity to give consent," which no child has). ERGO: since long-term Ritalin use by children is experimental, and since it always will be experimental for each individual, if Ritalin use by a child is coerced, however subtle that coercion may be, this constitutes involuntary human experimentation that is a violation of the Nuremburg Code, and as such, it constitutes a crime against humanity. Millions of children in US schools are likely victims of such Nazism. _ [1] The Nuremberg Code (see requirement number 1): http://www.med.nus.edu.sg/phar/sgcpp/nuremburg.htm [2] "Talking Back To Ritalin," Peter Breggin, MD.

[CTRL] ..charter schools.. promises have not yet been met.
-Caveat Lector- Spring/Summer 1999 Charter Schools: Still a Work in Progress by Elena Cabral Charter schools emerged in the early 1990's as a bold experiment in school reform. Established by communities through a sponsoring, or charter, agency, these independent schools are designed to operate with public funds but without the bureaucratic constraints of public school systems. They promise more choices for families, greater efficiency and innovation through competition. But a Foundation-supported study of 17 charter schools in California suggests that many of the promises have not yet been met. The two-and-a-half-year project by the University of California at Los Angeles was one of the first intensive studies on charter schools, which now number about 1,100 nationwide. California was the second state to pass legislation supporting these schools. The grant supporting the study was part of the Foundation's Constituency-Building for Public School Reform Initiative, a program of the Education, Knowledge and Religion unit. "Some of the claims and assumptions that are driving the way people conceptualize charter school reform need to be rethought," says Amy Stuart Wells, an associate professor of educational policy at UCLA and the director of the study. Though the study acknowledges the benefits of giving educators greater freedom in general, it notes several troubling aspects. Among the 15 findings is that many schools have no formal way to know if they are better than traditional public schools at helping students learn. One reason is that it is difficult to measure performance in schools that vary widely in theme, approach and design. Some focus on a "back to basics" approach, while others use broader themes. A mitigating factor is that California has been struggling in recent years to carry out an assessment of all its schools. The study points out that some of the aims of charter schools do not conform to traditional tests. Though charter schools are designed to give families more choices in education, the study says that the admissions criteria, recruiting tactics and even special duties some schools require of students and parents - like mandatory volunteerism - allow them to engineer the composition of their classes. Some schools are not delivering on their promise to reflect the racial or ethnic profile of their districts, and there are few opportunities to share information with public schools, for which charter schools claim to be models. The study also found that charter schools rely heavily on private resources, and that the ability to raise money varies greatly. But teachers in charter schools gave very positive reports about their work. They said that they felt more useful in their schools, which invigorate and challenge them in ways that conventional school settings do not. "I like starting out with something and feeling like I'm helping to build it," a teacher said. Support for charter schools remains strong nationwide, but Wells says the report should serve as a call to re-examine some of the ideas behind them. The report sparked a mixed response among educators when it was released in December. Some dismissed it by saying it overlooked individual successes. Others said it served as a warning to future charter schools. "I don't think anybody, especially operators of charter schools, has ever looked at ourselves or even the charter school movement as a silver bullet that's going to fundamentally, on its own, change school systems," says Mark Silverberg, a coordinator of the Hoboken (N.J.) Charter School. "Charter schools are one small piece of a whole set of reform and renewal efforts. To look at a movement in its infancy and say it hasn't changed the system is a sort of narrow perspective." But Wells says: "This report isn't designed to end charter schools. It is designed to take stock and force the issues out on the table that have not yet been discussed."

[CTRL] We may have to think the unthinkable about HIV and AIDS
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newscientist.com/ns/19990904/editorial.html The cruellest irony We may have to think the unthinkable about HIV and AIDS COULD DOCTORS TESTING a polio vaccine in Africa in the late 1950s have unintentionally started the AIDS epidemic? Seven years after this conspiracy-style theory was first floated, the publication of The River, a new book by the writer Edward Hooper, is forcing scientists to take this disturbing possibility seriously again. Hooper spent nine years researching the book and has paid great attention to detail. Few experts doubt that he has done his homework. So how seriously should we take the theory? It's widely accepted that humans became infected with HIV-1, the main AIDS virus, through contact with chimpanzees. When and how the chimp version of the virus jumped into humans, however, is much less clear. Epidemiologists' best guess is that hunters became infected with blood as they cut up chimp carcasses for meat. By contrast, Hooper's theory centres on a polio vaccine that was tested on about a million people in central Africa between 1957 and 1960. Because the vaccine was produced in cultures of kidney cells from various primate species, Hooper argues that some of it could have been contaminated with the virus that was later identified in humans as HIV-1. All that was needed to seed the AIDS epidemic was a few contaminated batches. If Hooper is right, it would mean 14 million people have so far died and 33 million been infected because of a well-intentioned--and ultimately successful--attempt to stem the tide of polio. That's some tragic irony. But discomfort is no reason to ignore the possibility. When the vaccine theory of AIDS first surfaced, scientists could be justifiably dismissive. The word then was that the kidney cells used to make the polio vaccines came from macaque monkeys, not chimps. Also, scientists believed that the first recognisable case of AIDS involved a British seaman whose travels were over before the vaccinations began. We now know that this was not a genuine HIV infection. More importantly, Hooper provides the first evidence that chimp kidneys may have been used to culture the vaccine and he identifies a geographic match between the vaccine trial sites and what are now regarded as the first known cases of HIV infection, including the earliest in 1959. But if the vaccine theory has become less obviously far-fetched, it still has problems. For example, the vaccine was also tested on thousands of individuals in Poland but there's no evidence of early HIV infection there. Secondly, different subspecies carry different forms of the chimp virus and, if current research is correct, the subspecies of chimp from the Congo whose kidneys might have been used is the "wrong" one: it harbours only a distant relative of HIV-1. And if vaccine trials were responsible for HIV-1 in central Africa, where does that leave HIV-2, the sister virus that emerged in West Africa? HIV-2 seems to have "jumped" species from the sooty mangabey in at least four separate incidents. Were vaccines involved in these leaps too? Or did HIV-1 need help to jump species even though HIV-2 didn't? Either version requires excessive special pleading. Especially since biologists who have studied different strains of HIV-1 are confident that they began to diverge from a single viral ancestor no later than 1940. But even if there is only the tiniest chance that Hooper is right, the implications of his theory demand that it should be investigated. The obvious next step is to test the remaining frozen stocks of the vaccine for the presence of the chimp virus. Of course, negative results will not resolve the controversy, because other batches, now used up or lost, might have been contaminated. But this is no excuse for doing nothing. So far, few of the players have shown any sense of urgency. An expert committee that looked into the vaccine theory in 1992 called for tests on the remaining stocks and an end to using monkey tissues to make vaccines. Well, the stocks have still not been tested, and although most manufacturers have switched to using human cells to culture the vaccine, some still have not. Production methods are far more stringent than they were 40 years ago. But the fact is that any vaccines cultured in monkey tissues could still carry a risk of unknown primate viruses. For this and other reasons, it is now up to the WHO to try to answer Hooper's questions as quickly as possible. A refusal to test the leftover vaccine stocks will simply fuel conspiracy theories everywhere.

[CTRL] [BRIGADE] NH Supporters Standing With Buchanan
-Caveat Lector- Dear Brigade - from the Nashua Telegraph - fyi GO BRIGADE GO Linda PS - My mail is jam-packed with great comments about our Brigade emails. Remember to include your name-city-state if you want your comments added to our Message Boards - Thanks!! Also read our Message Board FAQ at: http://wwwgopatgo2000.org/mb-faq.html - Date sent: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 10:06:37 -0400 From: Santelman Associates [EMAIL PROTECTED] Area Buchanan support holds firm Rumors heâs leaving GOP donât sway backers. By JOSHUA TRUDELL, Telegraph Staff Presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan may become the second Republican to leave the party in recent months, and several area supporters said that they would jump with him should he move to the Reform Party. "Wherever Pat goes, I will go," said Mark Santelman of Nashua, a Buchanan activist. "Iâm an unrepentant Pat Buchanan supporter." Rumors have swirled for much of the summer about Buchanan leaving the Republican Party. Earlier this week, campaign adviser Bay Buchanan, the candidateâs sister, and several other aides said that he is considering leaving to join the Reform Party. Reform Party officials said that they would welcome Buchanan. James Fallon of Hampton, who has donated $750 to Buchananâs campaign and called himself a "very enthusiastic" supporter, said that he doubted Buchanan would leave the Republican Party. "Iâm not at all sure the Reform Party fits Pat," Fallon said. "I know he and the governor of Minnesota" â Jesse Ventura of the Reform Party â "donât see eye-to-eye." Santelman said he would tell Buchanan to go. "Thereâs nothing of value in the Republican Party," he said. "There are good Republicans, but the party as a whole is nothing to be proud of." Mark E. Johnson of Hollis, a 20-year Republican supporter who gave $500 to Buchanan in 1996, said he could easily follow Buchanan to the Reform Party. "Itâs been more and more difficult to find out where the Republican Party stands," Johnson said. "I have no problem finding out where Pat Buchanan stands." Johnson suggested that Buchanan could put former president Ronald Reaganâs political coalition back together, merging blue-collar Democrats, conservative Republicans, and the voters that Ross Perot drew in 1996. Paul Busta, a supporter from Windham who donated $250 earlier this year, said that he was skeptical of initial rumors that Buchanan was leaving, but has become more convinced in recent days, with reports that Buchanan and campaign advisers are huddling at his Virginia home. "The rumors are going around, but they went around four years ago, too," Busta said. "It seems a little more likely when you throw in the nearly $13 million the Reform Party has." Busta said that he would probably continue to support Buchanan if he jumped to the Reform Party. Buchananâs campaign has struggled in New Hampshire after two strong showings in the past two campaigns. His campaign has drawn only seven contributions totaling $3,050 so far, while his 1996 campaign, which won the New Hampshire primary, had 86 contributions for $36,975. In 1992, when he finished second in New Hampshire, he had 42 contributors who gave $22,000. In early August, Buchanan issued a statement insisting that he was running for the Republican nomination and calling reports that he was leaving the party "unsubstantiated and untrue." In the same statement, he said that his campaign would be renewing efforts at an Aug. 14 straw poll in Ames, Iowa. Buchanan spokesman Bob Adams said Wednesday that if the statement were released today, it would still be accurate. "He is a Republican candidate for president. Thatâs still true," Adams said. He added, "That doesnât mean heâs not having impure thoughts, however." Buchanan was fifth in the Iowa straw poll, which seemed to be enough to sustain his campaign. However, on the day of the poll, he already seemed to be hinting that he was leaving the party on two nationally broadcast television shows. "Iâm going right now down this road" toward pursuing the

Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. There were no outward signs of trauma. Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not know each other, and seemed to have nothing in common. It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same restaurant (Big Chappies, at Blare Airport), within days of their deaths. The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down. The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail. The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check. She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom. That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat. Under the seat, out of normal view, was small spider. The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be the South American Blush Spider (arachnius gluteus), so named because of its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp, climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere. Several days later a lawyer from Los Angeles showed up at a hospital emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been away on business, had taken a flight from New York, changing planes in Chicago, before returning home. He did not visit Big Chappies while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock. Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in South America. The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of the toilets of all flights from South America, and discovered the Blush spider's nests on 4 different planes! It is now beleived that these spiders can be anywhere in the country. So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders. It can save your life!

[CTRL] Jiang Struggles to Maintain Grip on PLA
-Caveat Lector- STRATFOR.COM Global Intelligence Update September 3, 1999 Jiang Struggles to Maintain Grip on PLA Summary: In an attempt to consolidate control over the People's Liberation Army (PLA) by enhancing its dependence on Beijing, Chinese President Jiang Zemin, in July 1998, ordered the PLA to divest itself of its many businesses. This plan has backfired, with officers looting the businesses before turning the indebted and overstaffed shells over to the government. Now with the PLA demanding the compensation it was promised for divestiture, Jiang is struggling to maintain control of a brewing crisis fraught with both domestic and international implications. Analysis: China's Central Military Commission (CMC), headed by President Jiang Zemin, issued a directive on September 1 reasserting the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) leadership over the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The directive insisted that the PLA "is the people's army under the absolute leadership of the party, and embodies an important force of the political superiority of the party and state government." The directive outlined how the PLA had adapted to the past 20 years of reform and "opening up," but urged the PLA leadership to develop an ideology that allowed modernization within a socialist market economy and complete obedience to the CCP. Jiang's insistence on strengthening the PLA's obedience to the CCP begs the question, "Wasn't it already obedient?" And the dictum, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it," applies here doubly, as Jiang is focusing first and foremost on domestic political stability in the run-up to the October 1 celebrations of the 50th anniversary of communist China. One month from the anniversary, with tensions brewing across the Taiwan Strait, the Chinese economy quietly melting down and security forces rounding up everyone who could vaguely be described as dissident, Jiang has very publicly suggested that the PLA could be a bit more loyal. A serious rift has surfaced between the military and Jiang, sparked by the backfire of his 1998 initiative to bring it under his control. In July 1998, Jiang ordered the PLA to divest itself of its business empire, estimated to number some 15,000 enterprises with estimated combined annual revenues of $25 billion - well in excess of the official US$9.7 billion annual military budget. Under Chairman Mao, the PLA had orders to establish its own farms and textile mills so as not to burden the government budget and, by extension, the peasantry. Under the economic reforms of Deng Xiaoping, the PLA was allowed to expand even further to relieve the national budget, increase employment and speed industrial growth and business development. The trouble is, as the PLA's business empire grew, so did corruption in the ranks and, more ominously, independence from Beijing's control. With economic trouble - and the inevitable accompanying unrest - on China's horizon, Jiang wanted to strip the regional military commanders of their financial independence. The roughly 3 million- strong PLA would be dependent on Beijing for its budget - supposedly bolstered by revenues from the PLA's former enterprises - thereby avoiding the rise of powerful, regional generals. China's history is a series of central administrations asserting power only to have it ripped away by regional warlords. The plan backfired. Jiang underestimated the corruption and avarice that had permeated the PLA. He was rudely made aware of the extent of the problem when, in early April of this year, the CCP and PLA commissions, tasked with auditing PLA enterprises, reported wanton and systematic embezzlement, false accounting and bad debts. Moreover, since receiving the divestiture order, the PLA engaged in full scale asset-stripping, hiding the proceeds abroad and extensively borrowing on the expectation that they would never have to repay the debts. The government was left with deeply indebted, overstaffed shells of businesses, many committed to extensive and costly social welfare programs. The PLA, having relinquished its business empire as ordered, then had the gall to demand compensation for the businesses as well as the promised, and now necessary, increases in the defense budget. Jiang's attempt to gain control fell victim to the PLA's corruption and decay, and he is now faced with a worse situation than before he ordered the divestiture. Jiang must now pay off the commanders for their "losses," while funding the PLA at a higher level and injecting funds into remaining enterprises in order to stave off massive unemployment. It is no wonder Jiang is concerned about PLA loyalty. Jiang's first response has been to hand over the problem and a fair share of the blame to Prime Minister Zhu Rongji. Ironically, according to diplomatic and military sources cited by the South China Morning Post in July 1998, Zhu adamantly opposed Jiang's decision to strip the PLA of its businesses. Zhu had reportedly
[CTRL] President Clinton is a total supporter of the (porn) industry, ..
-Caveat Lector- "President Clinton is a total supporter of the (porn) industry, and he's always been on our team," David Schlessinger of the adult-oriented Vivid Videos told TV Guide. "It's not that Clinton has been outwardly supportive of the adult industry, but rather that he hasn't tried to quash it the way republicans did in the 1980s." -- http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3684302d02f4.htm IS LARRY FLYNT BRIBING THE PRESIDENT AS BOTH FACE JANUARY TRIALS ? December 25, 1998 Tom Flocco TV MEDIA SILENT ON LARRY FLYNT'S JANUARY INTERSTATE PORN TRIAL AS CLINTON TRIAL CONFLICTS (Blackmail/Bribery?) INVOLVING IMPLIED SENATE 'OUTINGS' AND SCORCHED EARTH INVESTIGATIVE COSTS RECEIVE SOFT COVERAGE PORN MAGNATE REFUSES TO DENY RELATIONSHIP TO WHITE HOUSE AGENTS LENZNER, PALADINO AND CARVILLE (FBI FILES?) ON MSNBC/ABC While it is not quite so obvious to most Americans, those who are familiar with the modus operandi of the rogue president will not be surprised to hear that the financing of pornographer Larry Flynt's investigation of Clinton congressional enemies was possibly a disguised political contribution to encourage White House support and influence regarding the upcoming multiple-count interstate pornography indictments facing Flynt and his brother, Jimmy, in Cincinnati. The influence is possible as Clinton fired EVERY U.S. attorney and replaced them with HIS people at the outset of his administration, just as he politicized the Reno Justice Department in a effort to CONTROL the justice system in America. Flynt refused to deny MSNBC/ABC questions as to whether he had a relationship to Lenzner, Paladino or Carville--or why he is not 'outing' democrats. Larry and Jimmy Flynt were indicted in April, 1998 on 15 counts of obscenity violations, including the pandering of the video, "Pam and Tommy Lee--Hard-core and Uncensored" to a 14 year old boy at their downtown Cincinnati store and the interstate transportation of obscenity via a common carrier (Federal Express), according to a November Washington Times piece. The United States Criminal Code forbids obscenity to be mailed, transported or sold. Coincidently, the Flynt brothers porn trial and the Clinton Senate trial BOTH begin in January, 1999. The are a number of other potential areas of recent implied influence involving the pornography industry and the Clinton Administration. The Times also reported that porn prosecutions of obscenity violations plummeted during Mr. Clinton's first term. And while Janet Reno fights "kiddie porn" on the internet, the adult hard-core and illegal porn is left UNPROSECUTED. Justice Department spokesman John Russell said the emphasis is on child exploitation "because Attorney General Janet Reno wants it there. That is where our money and manpower are directed." "President Clinton is a total supporter of the (porn) industry, and he's always been on our team," David Schlessinger of the adult-oriented Vivid Videos told TV Guide. "It's not that Clinton has been outwardly supportive of the adult industry, but rather that he hasn't tried to quash it the way republicans did in the 1980s." The Times said that Clinton UNEXPECTEDLY OPPOSED the Child On-Line Protection Act (giving children some protection from Internet smut) during September and early October, 1998, but finally did sign the Act into law as one of the LAST items agreed to in the recent omnibus spending bill that passed at the end of the 105th Congress. And since Flynt markets porn videos, he would have interest in the Free Speech Coalition desire to mainstream the multi-billion-dollar adult entertainment industry. The Los Angeles Times reported that the Coalition also filed suit against the Reno Justice Department, CHALLENGING a law that prohibits the production of simulated child pornography. For they felt the Child Pornography Prevention Act could brand even R-rated films as obscene. The L.A. Times cited a California legislator who branded the suit as "turning perversion into politics." Is Mr. Flynt blackmailing United States congressmen in order to force a censure/adjournment? Is he bribing Mr. Clinton to avert a prison sentence from his porn trial? Will the Senate permit Mr. Clinton to offer "information" provided by taxpayer-funded lawyers/private investigators and undisclosed illegal possession of confiscated FBI files? And is "senatorial fear" a factor facing our sanctimonious symbols of sagacity as they contemplate possible individual "indiscretions" and why it might be better to bring the boy-president's trial to a speedy conclusion with censure--presidential felonies or not. Democrats will have a choice between facing voters in 2000 as the pro-perjury party if they choose to acquit; but worse, a conviction risks liberal wrath at the polls. Republicans have relatively little to fear unless they have majority moderate-liberal constituencies, have presidential aspirations OR

[CTRL] Toward the Total State
-Caveat Lector- Toward the Total State by William Norman Grigg Has the left won Americaâs culture war? Some observers, including political organizer Paul Weyrich (who coined the term "moral majority"), appear to think so. For many Americans who cherish our nationâs traditions of individual freedom, limited government, and personal moral responsibility, the Clinton impeachment melodrama abounded in evidence that America has undergone a dramatic transformation. If one were to credit the ubiquitous opinion polls and the outpourings of the "mainstream" media, the American people were nearly unanimous in their support for President Clinton, despite his ongoing personal depravity and his willingness to abuse both the powers of his office and the institutions of our judicial system in order to retain his position as the nationâs chief executive. The only holdouts were to be found among the "religious right," which â according to the custodians of "respectable" opinion â is a marginalized group unworthy of political influence. While the outcome of impeachment was largely a product of the gangland tactics (including blackmail and character assassination) employed by the Clinton Administration against its opponents, as well as the institutional cowardice of the Senate, there is no doubt that Americaâs culture has undergone a dramatic transformation â a transformation engineered by the radical left. Writing in the Winter 1996 issue of the Marxist journal Dissent, Michael Walzer enumerated some of the cultural victories won by the left since the 1960s: ⢠"The visible impact of feminism." ⢠"The effects of affirmative action." ⢠"The emergence of gay rights politics, and ⦠the attention paid to it in the media." ⢠"The acceptance of cultural pluralism." ⢠"The transformation of family life," including "rising divorce rates, changing sexual mores, new household arrangements â and, again, the portrayal of all this in the media." ⢠"The progress of secularization; the fading of religion in general and Christianity in particular from the public sphere â classrooms, textbooks, legal codes, holidays, and so on." ⢠"The virtual abolition of capital punishment." ⢠"The legalization of abortion." ⢠"The first successes in the effort to regulate and limit the private ownership of guns." Significantly, Walzer admitted that these victories were imposed upon our society by "liberal elites," rather than being driven "by the pressure of a mass movement or a majoritarian party." These changes "reflect the leftism or liberalism of lawyers, judges, federal bureaucrats, professors, school teachers, social workers, journalists, television and screen writers â not the population at large," noted Walzer. Rather than building "stable or lasting movements or creat[ing] coherent constituencies," the left focused on "winning the Gramscian war of position." While most Americans would be mystified by Walzerâs reference to Italian Communist theoretician Antonio Gramsci, those who wish to understand the ongoing culture war must first have some understanding of the Gramscian concept of the "long march through the institutions." The process described by Walzer, in which the cultural and bureaucratic organs of our society have fallen under the influence of "progressive" forces devoted to transforming our nation, is derived directly from Gramsciâs blueprint for Marxist subversion. Gramsciâs distinctive insight, as we will shortly see, was that the construction of the total state requires the seizure of the "mediating institutions" that insulate the individual from the power of the government â the family, organized religion, and so forth â and a systematic redefinition of the culture in order to sustain the new political order. That process is well underway in our nation â and if it is consummated, Americans will learn that the culture war is a deadly serious effort to destroy the institutions and traditions that have protected Americans from the horrors of the total state. "The scientific concept of dictatorship," wrote Soviet dictator Vladimir Lenin, "means nothing else but this: power without limit, resting directly upon force, restrained by no laws, absolutely unrestricted by rules." Benito Mussoliniâs totalitarian formula was even more concise: "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." Whatever its specific configuration or ideological pretext, the total state always requires that all human activities be made subject to its power. But to exercise that power, the total state relies, to a remarkable extent, on the cooperation of its victims. No matter how vast the instrumentality of coercion or how vicious the intentions of the ruling elite, the masters of the total state are always dramatically outnumbered by their victims. No army of occupation is large enough to exercise total control over a tyrannized population; no secret

-Caveat Lector- 9/3/99 It's a rear guard defense to prevent this federal judge from getting his hands on the evidence for the lawyers in the upcoming trial. The canisters don't actually prove anything other than that there was some sort of cover-up. Enough for an investigation by reliable flunkies to tie up the real evidence at least until after the next elections. The " neutral " party the DOJ wants to turn the evidence over to for investigation is the ex-Senator from Missouri, Danforth. One of the corporate ruling elite through his family who own(ed?) Ralston Purina. Danforth is an ordained minister, and will be presented as squeaky clean. He is ( was?) CFR and a member of the Trilateral Commission when that was an important organization. This tactic is standard operating procedure for a cover-up that only has the appearance of a public inquiry. Here are some of the most recent successes. Clinton/ Lewinsky Scandal - Successfully distracted the public and a cowardly corporate Press from a serious investigation of high governmental treason by BOTH parties in the transfer of high tech weaponry information to the Chinese. Iran/ Contra Scandal - Successfully distracted the public and an overly compliant Press from focussing on the secret movement of drugs, money, and arms by America's covert operators and war industry.

Joshua2 == JUDGE TELLS THE G TO TURN OVER ALL WACO EVIDENCE OR ELSE A federal judge Thursday ordered government lawyers to turn over all evidence from the Branch Davidian compound siege to his court by Oct. 1 or face contempt charges. The order issued by Judge Walter Smith of Waco comes in response to a U.S. Justice Department motion this week challenging his authority to take control of evidence. Smith next month is scheduled to begin hearing a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the government by Branch Davidians who survived the April 1993 federal raid on their compound. The Texas Department of Public Safety had requested that Smith take control of Davidian evidence it was holding for the Justice Department, saying it thought the agency was being used by the federal government to keep evidence from public scrutiny. Smith said U.S. Attorney Bill Blagg, whose jurisdiction includes Waco, must appear before him on Oct. 1 to explain why the government should not be held in contempt if it doesn't comply with his order. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Sept1999/090399/waco090399.htm LET'S GO TO THE AUDIOTAPE Transcript of radio traffic intercepted by FBI surveillance aircraft on April 19, 1993, above the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, reflecting the request for and approval of military tear-gas canisters.

Eighth-graders in San Francisco are heard firing questions at a gay man and a lesbian who visit their classroom. Storytime for first- and second-graders at a school in Cambridge, Mass., is shown to include the book ``Asha's Mums'' about a little girl who has two lesbian mothers. All are excerpts from a controversial documentary, ``It's Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues in School,'' which first caused a stir when several public television stations decided to air it this summer. Now it's being used by many school districts nationwide as a training tool for teachers -- unifying what some say is a growing move to incorporate gay and lesbian issues into school curriculums. Critics say talk about such issues belongs at home. But others argue it's a matter of dealing with issues that students already see every day in newspapers, on television, in movies -- and maybe even in their own communities or classrooms. ``Both schools and families have to address the issue somehow because it's there -- and it's not going back into the closet,'' said Tony D'Augelli, a psychologist at Penn State's College of Health and Human Development.

[CTRL] FW: FCC Mandates New Telephone Surveillance Features
-Caveat Lector- forwarded... Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart CONTENTS: (1) FCC Mandates New Telephone Surveillance Features (2) Turning Cell Phones Into Tracking Devices; Other Features (3) Packet Switching - CALEA's Sleeper Issue (4) CDT Examines Appeal (5) Subscription Information (6) About the Center for Democracy and Technology ** This document may be redistributed freely with this banner intact ** Excerpts may be re-posted with permission of [EMAIL PROTECTED] This document is also available at: http://www.cdt.org/publications/pp_5.21.html ___ (1) FCC MANDATES NEW TELEPHONE SURVEILLANCE FEATURES On Friday, August 27, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ordered the nation's telephone companies to modify their switching equipment to provide more information to government agencies conducting electronic surveillance. The Commission largely rejected privacy concerns and aligned with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which had sought the enhanced monitoring capabilities under the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). The decision was the latest step in a long-running struggle over the surveillance potential of communications technology. CALEA was enacted in 1994 after the FBI complained to Congress that new digital technology and other advanced services would soon make it impossible to carry out wiretaps and other electronic surveillance. The FBI originally sought direct control over phone system design. Congress refused to grant the Bureau that kind of power, but adopted CALEA with the intent of balancing law enforcement, privacy and industry interests. Congress made it clear that CALEA was intended to preserve but not enhance government monitoring capabilities. The Act left design decisions to the telephone industry, subject to FCC review. However, soon after CALEA was enacted, the FBI began insisting on very specific surveillance features, including some never before available to the government. After industry worked with law enforcement agencies to draft technical standards to put CALEA into effect, the FBI claimed the industry plans did not go far enough and petitioned the FCC to order additional, specific surveillance features. CDT claimed that the industry plan failed to protect privacy and opposed the FBI's add-ons. _ (2) TURNING CELL PHONES INTO TRACKING DEVICES; OTHER FEATURES The most immediately disturbing element of the FCC's ruling was its requirement that cellular and other wireless phone companies provide the capability to identify where their customers are at the beginning and end of every call, effectively turning wireless phones into tracking devices. In 1994, FBI Director Louis Freeh testified twice before Congress that CALEA did not cover this kind of location information. While many cellular systems already have some ability to locate callers, CDT argued to the FCC that this should not be a mandatory element of system design. CDT was concerned that, as the technology evolves, the FBI is likely to seek more and more precise location information. The FCC ignored the legislative history and rejected CDT's concerns In addition, for both wireline and wireless systems, the FCC ruled that six other specific surveillance features sought by the FBI were required by CALEA. One of the six requires carriers to ensure that the government will be able to continue listening to those on a conference call after the criminal suspect has dropped off the call. Another add-on guarantees the government access to credit card numbers and bank account data generated when a user punches numbers on a telephone. Other add-ons ensure government access to the detailed signaling information generated in connection with calls, information that law enforcement would obtain under a legal standard lower than the one required to conduct a wiretap. CDT and the telephone industry had argued that none of these items was required by CALEA. Carriers are currently required to comply with most aspects of CALEA, including the location mandate, by June 30, 2000. The other features required by the FCC last week must be available to the government by September 30, 2001. _ (3) PACKET SWITCHING - CALEA'S SLEEPER ISSUE One CALEA issue of immense importance has received little press attention: how to conduct electronic surveillance in packet environments. Packet technology, until recently used mainly on the Internet, breaks communication into many small packets, each consisting of some addressing information and some content. For efficiency's sake, the packets may be transported by various routes, and are reassembled at their intended destination to create a

Re: [CTRL] FW: Homeopathy
-Caveat Lector- Homeopathy: The Ultimate Fake Stephen Barrett, M.D. Homeopathic "remedies" enjoy a unique status in the health marketplace: They are the only category of quack products legally marketable as drugs. This situation is the result of two circumstances. First, the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which was shepherded through Congress by a homeopathic physician who was a senator, recognizes as drugs all substances included in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. Second, the FDA has not held homeopathic products to the same standards as other drugs. Today they are marketed in health-food stores, in pharmacies, in practitioner offices, by multilevel distributors [A], through the mail, and on the Internet. Basic Misbeliefs Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), a German physician, began formulating homeopathy's basic principles in the late 1700s. Hahnemann was justifiably distressed about bloodletting, leeching, purging, and other medical procedures of his day that did far more harm than good. Thinking that these treatments were intended to "balance the body's 'humors' by opposite effects," he developed his "law of similars" -- a notion that symptoms of disease can be cured by extremely small amounts of substances that produce similar symptoms in healthy people when administered in large amounts. The word "homeopathy" is derived from the Greek words homoios (similar) and pathos (suffering or disease). Hahnemann and his early followers conducted "provings" in which they administered herbs, minerals, and other substances to healthy people, including themselves, and kept detailed records of what they observed. Later these records were compiled into lengthy reference books called materia medica, which are used to match a patient's symptoms with a "corresponding" drug. Hahnemann declared that diseases represent a disturbance in the body's ability to heal itself and that only a small stimulus is needed to begin the healing process. He also claimed that chronic diseases were manifestations of a suppressed itch (psora), a kind of miasma or evil sprit. At first he used small doses of accepted medications. But later he used enormous dilutions and theorized that the smaller the dose, the more powerful the effect -- a notion commonly referred to as the "law of infinitesimals." That, of course, is just the opposite of the dose-response relationship that pharmacologists have demonstrated. The basis for inclusion in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia is not modern scientific testing, but homeopathic "provings" conducted during the 1800s and early 1900s. The current (ninth) edition describes how more than a thousand substances are prepared for homeopathic use. It does not identify the symptoms or diseases for which homeopathic products should be used; that is decided by the practitioner (or manufacturer). The fact that substances listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia are legally recognized as "drugs" does not mean that either the law or the FDA recognizes them as effective. Because homeopathic remedies were actually less dangerous than those of nineteenth-century medical orthodoxy, many medical practitioners began using them. At the turn of the twentieth century, homeopathy had about 14,000 practitioners and 22 schools in the United States. But as medical science and medical education advanced, homeopathy declined sharply in America, where its schools either closed or converted to modern methods. The last pure homeopathic school in this country closed during the 1920s [1]. Many homeopaths maintain that certain people have a special affinity to a particular remedy (their "constitutional remedy") and will respond to it for a variety of ailments. Such remedies can be prescribed according to the person's "constitutional type" -- named after the corresponding remedy in a manner resembling astrologic typing. The "Ignatia Type," for example, is said to be nervous and often tearful, and to dislike tobacco smoke. The typical "Pulsatilla" is a young woman, with blond or light-brown hair, blue eyes, and a delicate complexion, who is gentle, fearful, romantic, emotional, and friendly but shy. The "Nux Vomica Type" is said to be aggressive, bellicose, ambitious, and hyperactive. The "Sulfur Type" likes to be independent. And so on. Does this sound to you like a rational basis for diagnosis and treatment? The "Remedies" Are Placebos Homeopathic products are made from minerals, botanical substances, and several other sources. If the original substance is soluble, one part is diluted with either nine or ninety-nine parts of distilled water and/or alcohol and shaken vigorously (succussed); if insoluble, it is finely ground and pulverized in similar proportions with powdered lactose (milk sugar). One part of the diluted medicine is then further diluted, and the process is repeated until the desired concentration is reached. Dilutions of 1 to 10 are designated by the Roman numeral X (1X = 1/10, 3X = 1/1,000, 6X =

Anyone who questioned the government's official position was relegated to being either a far-right extremist, a militia kook, or a follower of the undeniably peculiar David Koresh. It was just weeks after coming to Congress in 1997, while on a national television program, that I was asked about the then-four-year-old case. I responded with the position that the evidence was overwhelmingly strong that everything was not as bureaucrats in the Clinton Administration claimed. I cited recent polling data that indicated that most Americans simply did not trust the government, and that a goodly number feared the increasingly commonplace occurrence of federal agents taking violent action against American citizens. Almost immediately the defenders of big government, the administration and the war on civil liberties launched into wild hysterics. I had committed the unpardonable sin of believing the facts rather than the government spin, which attempted to justify the murder of innocent children and untried, uncharged adults. The Attorney General and her minions in Congress maintained that the conflagration had been a rash act of mass suicide, ignoring that just hours before the raid those same people had requested their phone lines be reconnected. They also ignored the infrared evidence that government agents, as the fire was raging on one side of the house, were entering the home through the back, and that tanks were injecting gases banned under international treaties. Now, though, even the most blind followers of the administration and its policies are left stunned with revelations that high-ranking FBI officials and others lied to Congress, hid evidence, broke the law and knowingly subverted justice ...SNIP...

Re: [CTRL] Fw: Waco's Little Rock Connection
-Caveat Lector- Does anyone recall that 3 of the 4 ATF agents that were assigned to Billie Boy Clinton during his presidential campaign in 92, died in the waco raid!!! what a coincidence! When it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck!! Waco's Little Rock connection September 3, 1999 Joseph Farah Finally, there's some finger-pointing going on in the executive branch of the federal government over the exterminations of more than 70 men, women and children at the Branch Davidian church in Waco in 1993. It's about time. This is progress. But we won't be any closer to holding the guilty accountable until the White House connections are fully explored. There's ample reason to believe Bill Clinton was working behind the scenes on engineering the initial Waco raid even before he became president. One of the original witnesses against the Branch Davidians was Bill Buford, the agent in charge of the Little Rock, Ark., branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Buford was, also, according to Arkansas sources, a friend of Bill. The Waco case was apparently very important to Buford as an affidavit states he was working on New Year's Day calling former Branch Davidians seeking to find evidence of sexual abuse. My friend and colleague, Andy Beal, who first explored the Little Rock connection to Waco, asks a good question: What was the resident agent in charge of the Little Rock office of the BATF doing investigating a sex abuse case in Texas? Is sex abuse BATF's jurisdiction? Is Texas under the jurisdiction of the BATF's Arkansas office? Documents show Buford is noted as one of two "senior raid planners." He was also one of the BATF agents wounded during the Feb. 28 assault, but he is perhaps the only BATF agent to be visited in the hospital by none other than top Treasury Department official Roger Altman. Altman was the long-time "Friend of Bill" appointed to be deputy secretary of the Treasury and chief executive officer of the Resolution Trust Corporation. He resigned in August 1994 due to his interference in the Whitewater investigation. At the time of the Waco raid, Roger Altman was the second highest-ranking official at the Department of the Treasury. The BATF is a bureau within the Treasury Department. Is it not possible -- is it not likely, knowing what we know about the character of the Clinton administration today -- that the Clinton transition team was involved in the planning of the initial raid on Waco even before taking power? Remember, Vincent Foster's wife claimed he blamed himself for the deaths in Waco. Webster Hubbell, who became the point man between the Justice Department and White House during the siege, was also instrumental in that transition to power. Then there's Altman and Buford. Foster, Hubbell, Altman and Buford were all in Little Rock leading up to the inauguration. Clinton takes power Jan. 20, 1993. One month later, the BATF stages the largest and most dramatic raid in its history -- videotaped in living color in anticipation of its success in subduing religious non-conformists in possession of illegal guns. The injustice and illegality of the initial raid has still never been fully examined. Today the focus is on how and why the remaining occupants of the church building were exterminated in a fire. Yet, the equally puzzling question of why a dynamic and violent entry was necessary to serve a search warrant on David Koresh shortly after he went target shooting with officers of the BATF. The local sheriff offered to serve the warrant at the general store to avoid any confrontation. There was simply no need for all the deadly theatrics of the initial raid. The only reasonable explanation seems to be the one proffered by the documentary, "Waco: Rules of Engagement," which postulates that the raid was intended as a public relations effort by the BATF and a commercial for stricter gun control enforcement. There are many unanswered questions when it comes to Waco. But maybe now it's time to start asking some of the unasked questions. What was the involvement in Waco planning of key Clinton White House officials even before they took power? Was the Waco raid, in fact, cooked up as a publicity and political stunt by an incoming administration itching for drama and action? Is it possible that Clinton and his cronies bear even more responsibility than any of us imagine for this deadly escapade? = Theodor S.Parada, MD [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID 0x537C4815 "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.

[CTRL] Ban Aid
-Caveat Lector- ... or if you don't have (m)any friends, well, just buy them!!! From www.cato.org/dailys/08-25-99.html August 25, 1999 Foreign Waste Disguised as Aid by Doug Bandow Doug Bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. The closer his term comes to an end, the more leftward President Clinton seems to move. In a speech before the Veterans of Foreign Wars, he urged Congress to approve his bloated foreign aid budget. Yet no one would benefit from throwing more money at programs which have consistently failed. Foreign assistance has always had strong defenders. They believed fistfuls of cash could buy political stability, spur social progress and eliminate poverty in the Third World. Alas, this strategy, backed by more than $1 trillion (adjusted for inflation) from the United States alone, has crashed and burned. In 1996, the UN declared that 70 countries, aid recipients all, were poorer than in 1980. An incredible 43 were worse off than in 1970. Chaos, slaughter, poverty and ruin stalked Third World states, irrespective of how much foreign assistance they received. But aid advocates haven't given up. Mr. Clinton told the VFW that current programs are "designed to keep our soldiers out of war in the first place." Without money for the Balkans, he warned: "Make no mistake - there will be another bloody war." It's a superficially appealing argument. Alas, it simply isn't true. Between 1971 and 1994, Haiti received $3.1 billion and Somalia collected $6.2 billion. Both nations ended up in chaos and under U.S. military occupation. In fact, most every country in crisis in recent years banked abundant "aid" over the same period. Sierra Leone received $1.8 billion, Liberia $1.8 billion, Angola $2.9 billion, Chad $3.3 billion, Burundi $3.4 billion, Rwanda $4.7 billion, Uganda $5.8 billion, Zaire $8.4 billion, Mozambique $10.5 billion, Ethiopia $11.5 billion, and Sudan $13.4 billion. In no case did peace result. To the contrary, aid often fostered conflict, underwriting autocratic, venal dictators who impoverished their nations. Then there's Bosnia. President Clinton's speech was reported on the same day that the New York Times reported the results of an exhaustive international investigation of the $5.1 billion in aid provided to that nation since 1995. This money, too, was intended to prevent the resumption of conflict. Alas, reports Chris Hedges: "As much as a billion dollars has disappeared from public funds or been stolen from international aid projects through fraud." Western officials fear even discussing the problem lest it frighten away "international donors." As well it should. For instance, in 1999 $200 million has simply disappeared from the city of Tuzla's budget, on top of $300 million missing over the past two years. Aid agencies and foreign embassies lost $20 million deposited in one Bosnian bank. The U.S. Agency for International Development established a $278 million revolving fund to jump-start local businesses. Hidrogradnja, one of Bosnia's largest firms, failed to repay $1 million in loans. The agency has sued 19 companies that failed to repay more than $10 million worth of loans. The investigation was conducted by the anti-fraud unit of the Office of the High Representative - essentially the West's dictator in Bosnia. Officials have reportedly compiled a 4,000-page report and are investigating 220 cases of alleged corruption and fraud. Not surprisingly, the recipients of aid seem uninterested in prosecuting wrongdoers. The High Representative has formally barred 15 miscreants from office, but most, reports the Times, retain their influence. Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic dismisses the High Representative's allegations. Of course, President Izetbegovic's son, Bakir, is reputed to be one of the richest men in Bosnia. Bakir Izetbegovic controls Sarajevo's City Development Institute, which determines who gets to occupy 80,000 public apartments. Members of the ruling party get preferential access, while average Bosnians complain they have to pay a $2,000 kickback. Western officials report that the younger Mr. Izetbegovic shares the extortion money extracted by Sarajevo gangsters from local businessmen. He also owns 15 percent of state-controlled Bosnia Air. The problem is not just those who are stealing, but those who are paying. James Lyon, director of the Crisis Group, complains: "The international administrators beg, plead, cajole and in some cases engage in what looks like bribery, promising cities infrastructure projects if they allow some refugees to return." It should surprise no one if what looks like bribery ends up being treated like bribery. Alas, the experience of Bosnia is all too common. The venality of aid recipients such as the Philippines and Zaire was legendary. A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research reports that more corrupt governments tend to

[CTRL] Fw: What's New for Sep 03, 1999
-Caveat Lector- WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 3 Sep 99 Washington, DC 1. SPY HYSTERIA: BUT WILL YOU STILL RESPECT ME IN THE MORNING? "Safe sex" takes on an entirely different meaning under a new DOE policy requiring employees who hold security clearances to report any "close and continuing contacts" with foreigners from a list of 25 sensitive countries. In response to employee requests for clarification of "close and continuing," one-night stands were specifically exempted from the reporting requirements. This could be the biggest romantic turn-off since nipple piercing. 2. BUDGET: WHITE HOUSE GIVES SCIENCE TOP BILLING. No one was surprised that White House Chief of Staff John Podesta would use a slow news week to promise a veto of Republican spending plans and tax cut proposals. The White House is spoiling for a fight. What was remarkable was that, of all the issues he could have used to justify a veto, he chose to devote his speech to the impact on science funding. He quoted Allan Bromley's op-ed in last week's Washington Post (WN 27 Aug 99): "Congress has lost sight of the critical role science plays in American life." He also lashed Congress for diverting almost $1B to earmarked projects, "undermining the discipline of competition and peer review and slashing funds for higher priority projects." Even James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), House Science Committee chair, while charging the Administration with significantly overstating the amount of money that can be made available for science, welcomed the Administration to the cause of increased science funding. 3. NIF: DIRECTOR RESIGNS AMIDST TALK OF COST OVERRUNS. Even as DOE was undertaking a complete review of the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the director of the $1.2B project, Mike Campbell, resigned for "personal reasons." The announcement followed a blitz of anonymous faxes revealing that Campbell had misrepresented himself as a PhD. His bio in the '95-'96 edition of American Men and Women of Science claims a PhD in Applied Physics from Princeton in '77, but he had no bio in earlier editions. He is expected to lose his security clearance. He was named a Fellow of the APS in '88 and received the APS Excellence in Plasma physics award in '90. The DOE review of NIF is focusing on the causes of a rumored $300M cost overrun. 4. EVOLUTION: WAS THERE A KANSAS BEFORE THERE WERE PEOPLE? The Grace Dangberg Foundation was created in 1982 "to improve the quality of history education." Eight months ago, it proudly announced that it was developing a new textbook on the history of Kansas for seventh and eighth graders. The book was to begin with the rich fossil record of the inland sea that once covered the state. That was before the Kansas School Board deleted Darwin from the curriculum. "You don't want to offend any group in Kansas," the foundation's director said, explaining why the book will now start with the arrival of native Americans.

They are incensed by what others describe as moderate reforms initiated by the city's new school board. The city's education system had failed so miserably that the Michigan legislature ousted the city's elected school board last March and empowered Mayor Dennis Archer to appoint a new board. Here's how bad things had gotten: o The graduation rate from Detroit's public schools had sunk to 29.7 percent -- compared to a statewide average of 76 percent. o Detroit students averaged 923 on the SAT -- whereas the Michigan average is 1,122, and the national average is 1,016. o The Detroit Free Press found that one in every seven of the city's teachers calls in sick on any given school day -- forcing the system to spend an extra $40 million a year on substitute teachers. Here are the proposed reforms that have the teachers so upset: o A longer school day and a longer school year. o Changes in rules governing sick days -- which formerly saw the average Detroit teacher taking 10 of the 15 sick days they are allowed in the academic year. o Merit pay which would give teachers up to $3,000 extra per year -- providing their attendance was good, they put in three years of merely satisfactory performance, they improved their own education and acquired national certification. Observers say that the teachers also need a lesson in competition, by initiating a voucher system there. Source: Editorial, "The Lesson From Detroit," Investor's Business Daily, September 3, 1999. For more on Local State Control of Schools http://www.ncpa.org/pi/edu/edu11.html#b IF GUN SUITS ARE SUCCESSFUL, OTHER TARGETS WILL POP UP So far, 28 cities and counties have filed lawsuits against gun manufacturers. The gun industry is trying to have the suits dismissed because manufacturers have rarely been found liable for what criminals do with their products. Local governments are hoping for a repeat of the states' lucrative legal battle over tobacco. So if gun makers go down to defeat, lawyers are expected to haul manufacturers of other products into court. o The next targets could be manufacturers of sports cars which are capable of attaining unlawful and unsafe speeds, as well as distillers of alcohol who would be blamed for inciting criminal behavior. o Experts say that the gun cases are based on the theory that the product was defective because someone used it to commit wrongful acts -- which would be stretching product liability beyond limits which have been accepted up to this time. o Plaintiffs have sued the makers of air guns, carbon- dioxide cartridges, glue and even slingshots on criminal- misuse grounds -- without much success. o Just weeks ago, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that fertilizer makers couldn't be blamed for the World Trade Center bombing. Some legal observers find it ironic that mayors of some cities with high crime rates are seeking to avoid their own responsibility for having their police departments maintain law and safety by blaming the instrument instead.

Re: [CTRL] FW: Homeopathy
-Caveat Lector- On 3 Sep 99, , William wrote: -Caveat Lector- Homeopathy: The Ultimate Fake Stephen Barrett, M.D. Homeopathic "remedies" enjoy a unique status in the health marketplace: They are the only category of quack products legally marketable as drugs. This situation is the result of two circumstances. First, the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which was shepherded through Congress by a homeopathic physician who was a senator, recognizes as drugs all substances included in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. Second, the FDA has not held homeopathic products to the same standards as other drugs. Today they are marketed in health-food stores, in pharmacies, in practitioner offices, by multilevel distributors [A], through the mail, and on the Internet. I really don't want to poke my nose into your debate, but when you find the right homeopathic remedy for a symptom, it seems to work right away. I have found homeopathic remedies exceedingly helpful for both myself and my pets. And I really have no idea why they should work--but it appears to me, pragmatically, that they do, when other more "traditional" alternatives" have failed me. So far, I have used homeopathic remedies successfully for arthritic-like conditons, colds, flues, and allergies and have found them remarkably effective. You do have to experiment because they don't work until you find the "right" remedy. Then it works almost instantly to relieve the conditon. My pharmacist is Indian, and while he spends all day filling medical prescriptions, he carries a full line of herbal and homeopathic remedies. For which I am very grateful. I can't really argue with something that works. And no--I am not anti-science, although I do believe the medical establishment is more involved with its own egos and profits than with actually healing folks. Latest word on the cutting edge--HIV has little or nothing to do with AIDS. It's HHV-6, related to the herpes virus, which most of us carry, and which is usually dormant within our systems, that is doing the real damage. HHV-6 is suspected of being the active agent in MS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome too. Virologists who are working on this theory have been fighting the AIDS establishment for years to have their case heard--while folks keep on dying.

[CTRL] On Kansas
-Caveat Lector- KATHA POLLITT Weird Science My first thought upon hearing that the Kansas state education board had removed evolution from its mandatory curriculum was: Go ahead! Be like that! Handicap your kids for life. Let the "secular humanists" have all the good colleges and get all the good jobs. I know this was an unworthy thought--Darwin's demotion was a political maneuver by Christian conservative politicians, not a grassroots effort by Kansas parents, much less their unfortunate children--but there you are. As a rootless cosmopolitan, I get tired of being expected to pay homage to "the heartland" as the moral center of the universe. And creationism, honestly! In 1999! All summer, serious newspapers have felt it necessary to publish casuistical Op-Eds by apologists for "creation science"--and the Old Testament is the only biology textbook you really need, these clever fellows forgot to add. What's going on? As Stephen Jay Gould pointed out in Time, in no other Western country is the teaching of evolution regarded as controversial. Throughout the world, one way or another, most Christian denominations have managed to reconcile belief in God with belief in the mechanisms of natural selection. A French or German or Scandinavian politician who called for students to entertain as a reasonable deduction from existing evidence the proposition that Earth is at most 10,000 years old would be bundled off to a mental hospital. Creation science is religion, no matter what its apologists say; let's start from there. No one looking at the physical record would determine that dinosaurs and humans coexisted, that fossils represent the creatures drowned in Noah's flood and so on. The only way those notions would even occur to you is if you considered the Bible an unerring historical document--but why would you think that unless you accepted the Bible as divine revelation of factual truth? The Topeka Capital-Journal asserted that "creationism is as good a hypothesis as any." Because no human witnessed the beginning of life on Earth, one guess is as good as another. Of course, a great deal of science involves making inferences about phenomena no human has witnessed--the birth of stars, the interior of the sun, subatomic particles. And, as one wag asked in a letter to the New York Times, would creationists argue that the vast majority of crimes, which occur unwitnessed, should not be prosecuted? As Theodore Schick Jr. and Lewis Vaughn explain in their wonderful book How to Think About Weird Things, the theory of evolution fulfills all the scientific criteria of adequacy: It is falsifiable, it predicts, it leads to further discoveries, it is conservative, and it fits what we already know. That isn't to say a better theory might not come along someday, but it won't be creationism, which fails all those tests in spades. To call creationism science (or to call evolution religion, as National Review seemed to be doing when it recently said Darwinism and creationism are equally "fundamentalist") is to destroy the whole concept of science. After all, if the creationists are right, not just biology must go but also geology, archeology, astrophysics, physics; so must radiometric and carbon-14 dating. Indeed, creationists should be protesting every natural history museum in the country that uses public funds to promulgate the "secular humanist" doctrine of geological time. In a better world, science teachers would teach creationism along with evolution as an exercise in critical thinking. But critical thinking is not what creationists are interested in. Nor, so far, are the usual people who love to weigh in on educational scandals. In fact, that's one of the most interesting aspects of the creationism flap. Al Gore, who bills himself as Mr. Science, finds himself unable to speak out on Kansas, saying that the decision to teach evolution should be left to local school boards (the same position taken by George W. Bush). And where are the doughty soldiers in the science and education wars who profess to uphold standards and truth against the irrationalist hordes? Where are the customary bemoaners of educational "fads" and politicized curriculums--Michael Kelly, William Buckley, Bill Bennett, Maureen Dowd? Sparring on ABC with a refreshingly rational George Will, William Kristol said teaching creationism was understandable enough. If, as so many commentators maintain, it's good for black students to read Huckleberry Finn even if its use of the n-word in dialogue hurts their feelings (and I would say it is good), why isn't it good for the children of fundamentalists to study modern biology even if that unsettles their faith? If standard biology is adequate to show that breast implants don't cause autoimmune diseases, why is it useless to help us decide if eohippus is the ancestor of the modern horse? The ferocious defenders of the scientific method were quick to take to the word processor to congratulate Alan Sokal when he
