[CTRL] Aging
-Caveat Lector- From Intellectual Capital.CoM Issue of the Week: The New Elderly by Andrew Olivastro Thursday, September 09, 1999 Comments: 40 posts Picture We are continually finding ways to increase the life span of the human race. Researchers and doctors, often with the help of government subsidies, toil countless hours in labs attempting to figure out ways to stave off disease and allow people to live longer. Meanwhile, health officials offer sound advice on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle to those of us who want to listen. The end result is the dramatic increase in life expectancy among certain elements of the American population. That increase does not come without a price. While arguing the negative results of such procedures might seem inhumane, the next 50 years will see a dramatic increase in America's elderly population -- an increase that, by most accounts, the United States is not prepared to handle. In 1900 only one in 25 Americans was over 65; by 2040, according to the Census Bureau, the figure will be a little less than one in four or five. Already the wave is rising: 33 million Americans are over 65 years old. Their ranks will more than double by 2030. The Society of Actuaries says Americans born in 1997 can expect to live 76.5 years. By 2050, that life expectancy will rise to 80 and older. Science demonstrates that genes account for only about 50% of the aging process. Change in lifestyle can tip the odds in favor of a longer, healthier, more productive life. Just how long and healthy is still open for debate. How soon will we be 90 and feel and look like we are 40? Is such a day really on the horizon? Effects of the demographic shift Though aging is a perfectly normal, and everyday, occurrence, the impending demographic shift (as boomers reach retirement age over the coming decade) leaves one wondering how society should prepare for it. Will America be able to handle this crush -- and its associated problems? Picture: Can America prepare for the elderly? Can America handle the boom? Just what those problems are depends on whom you ask. Here is a look at seven issues that will effect older Americans -- and the United States as a whole -- in the coming century. Social Security and Medicare. Entitlement programs dominate much current political debate because widespread and early retirement will affect the lives of everyone. As the number of elderly rises, so will the burden on the young of paying for their pensions and health care. The size of the baby-boom generation promises a simple but vast imbalance as they age: too few people working, paying taxes and pension contributions while the retired population drawing pensions and running up health costs rises. Cost of living. Baby boomers are the first generation of which both genders are expected to live well into their 80s -- many to 100. The question is, can they afford it? Robert Kahn, University of Michigan professor and co-author of Successful Aging, predicts increased work opportunities for aging Americans. "Talk of a crisis implies that all older people are a burden on society," Kahn says. "That's a fiction generated by national statistics. The gross domestic product, for example, ignores anything unpaid. Therefore if you write copy for cigarette commercials you're viewed as more valuable than a hospital volunteer (who doesn't get paid)." Kahn continues: "Sixty-five is not 65 anymore. People are advancing in age, but not getting old and decrepit. There is still much that they can do and contribute." Employment. The new elderly will be more independent than their predecessors. Along with that independence is the potential for longer and healthier lives, raising the possibility of longer and varied employment. Many researchers conclude that it would be far better for economic health if older people went on working instead of retiring. That raises some questions, Hudson says . "Do people in their 60s want to keep working?" Hudson says. "Do the 20- to 30-year-olds want them working and not taking Social Security -- or not working to free up jobs?" According to The Economist two-thirds of retirees say they like being retired and have no desire to go back to work. But in that same issue they report: "In America, where jobs for older workers are plentiful and the government is scrapping the tax disincentives for older folk to work, early retirement has begun to fall. Give people a choice, and they might surprise you." "We can ditch the idea of older people opting out of the work force," says Michael Reinemer, director of communications for the National Council on Aging. "Of course, those who work manual labor may exhaust themselves by a traditional age and need to retire. But it's in the interest of employers and the economy for the elderly to work." Hudson agrees, saying the new elderly will be broken into two likely groups, the
Re: [CTRL] Education Meltdown
-Caveat Lector- What we have is a Hegelian system of education where the child is conditioned to become subordinate to the State.( Hegels"march of God on earth"). John Dewey the NEA darling was pure Hegelian and designed the system where the state is absolute and Schools of Education reflect this in training teachers.. In my AMERICAS SECRET ESTABLISHMENT I trace how this system developed by Wundt in Germany was deliberately introduced into the United States throuhg the Schools of Education well over 100 years ago Want to change this system?

My children are not yet old enough to go to school, but I already know that I will homeschool them. My four-year old knows math better than any 3rd-grader, and knows his way around a computer better that I do.

Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 00:00:56 -0500 -Caveat Lector- Hi Bob, You have a very good point... when you said, . Unfortunately many parents do not have enough time to spend with their children because they both have to work to make a living. It still, however, boils down to 'parental irresponsibility', even with the NEA being a main factor of perversion in the public school system. (Run by the string pulling secret societies, such as the one who lays claim to the scottish bretheren). If parental REsponsibilty had been with a good foothold 30 years ago, you would not have seen the acceleration of the NEA's agenda to stupify the generations since the early 60's and even before. I remain firm with the fact that if you can't "afford" the children, (here, I am not talking dollars), then parent(s) shouldn't have had them. This includes taking responsibility from the moment the parents said "I do", whether getting married or whether having consentual sex. Parental responsibility comes BEFORE the child is ever thought about. Earning a living and 'keeping up with the Joneses', is more important that what's being fed into our children's minds, I suppose. ??? Or maybe it's just too much trouble for some to lay time aside to find out what's really going on in the school system, and they in effect, willingly hand over their parental rights to teachers that they probably don't know diddly about, never have met them, nor do they have a clue what these teachers background histories contain. But that's okay, in this generation, I suppose. ??? In this world of "I have to have it all", and "I have to have it all right now", leaves little room for thoughtful consideration of what responsibilites there are with raising children... ??? I suppose so, in this generation. And then there are considerations, such as, 'Who ever dreamed that there would be such massive communications, and PC's in nearly every home?' Or who ever thought of lap tops on every desk at school?' Probably no one 10 - 20 years ago... Daniel does make mention of this generation... over 2,000 years ago, see Daniel 12, particularly verse 4. Compromises are usually always an option in life. However, compromising parental authority and responsibility should have never been an option. As they say... "Hindsight is always 20 / 20." Now, we shall reap the whirlwind of the generations who were dumbed down. What do you suppose they will do with anyone over the age of 40 in the near future with innovative ideas to cut back on government spending, and what they may consider a waste of time, and waste of perfectly good occupational space? Hm? Makes one think a bit, doesn't it?

Tell him that USDA must: ** Abandon all research on genetic seed sterilization. ** Develop a policy prohibiting the use of public research dollars on Terminator technologies ** Use public research dollars to support plant breeding for sustainable agriculture Terminator is a controversial technology that has generated worldwide protest and debate because it renders farm saved seed sterile forcing farmers to return to the commercial seed market every year. If commercialized, it will threaten global food security and endanger biodiversity. The original Terminator patent is jointly owned by the US Department of Agriculture and a Monsanto subsidiary, Delta Pine Land Co. The notorious Terminator patent is just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens of new patents describing a wide range of techniques that can be used for the genetic sterilization of plants and seeds. Every major seed and agrochemical enterprise is developing its own version of suicide seeds. These technologies are extremely dangerous because they will erode farmer control and decision making in agriculture and increase dependence on a handful of giant agrochemical corporations. Over 1.4 billion people, primarily poor farmers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America depend on farmsaved seed as their primary seed source. If they can't save seed, they can't continue to adapt crops to their unique farming environment. The new generation of patents goes beyond the genetic neutering of crops. The patents reveal that multinational agrochemical and seed corporations are developing suicide seeds whose genetic traits can be turned on and off by an external chemical inducer triggered by the company's patented agrochemicals. In the notsodistant future, we may see farmers planting seeds that will develop into productive crops only if sprayed with a carefully prescribed regimen that includes the company's proprietary pesticide, fertilizer, or herbicide -- the TRAITOR technologies. With Traitor technologies, farmers will be forced to surrender control of their seed supply and the Gene Giants will ultimately dictate what the farmer grows, how to grow it, and where to sell it. Seed sterility is not about insuring quality of productivity, it's a power grab pure and simple, and tax dollars should not go to support the development of these technologies.

[CTRL] US Complicity in Timor
-Caveat Lector- http://www.thenation.com/issue/990927/0927nairn.shtml September 7, 1999 US Complicity in Timor Click here for background and related information. E-mail this story to a friend. Click here for a press release for this story. While the Indonesian military's thugs continue their rampage in East Timor, most foreign reporters have fled the country. As of September 7, frequent Nation contributor and award-winning journalist Allan Nairn was believed to be the only US reporter still there. Nairn left the besieged UN compound and walked the streets of Dili, where he hid in abandoned houses as he observed troops and militia burning and looting. Nairn has been writing about the troubles there for years. In 1991, after being badly beaten by Indonesian troops while witnessing the massacre of several hundred East Timorese, he was declared a "threat to national security" and banned from the country. He has entered several times illegally since then. In his most recent Nation dispatch from East Timor, on March 30, 1998, Nairn disclosed the continuing US military training of Indonesian troops implicated in the torture and killing of civilians. He filed this report by satellite telephone to The Nation through Amy Goodman, host of Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now! --The Editors Dili, East Timor It is by now clear to most East Timorese and a few Westerners still left here that the militias are a wing of the TNI/ABRI, the Indonesian armed forces. Recently, for example, I was picked up by militiamen who turned out to be working for a uniformed colonel of the National Police. [Editors' note: The Indonesian government has denied any connection between the militias and either the police or the military.] But there is another important political fact that is not known here or in the international community. Although the US government has publicly reprimanded the Indonesian Army for the militias, the US military has, behind the scenes and contrary to Congressional intent, been backing the TNI. US officials say that this past April, as militia terror escalated, a top US officer was dispatched to give a message to Jakarta. Adm. Dennis Blair, the US Commander in Chief of the Pacific, leader of all US military forces in the Pacific region, was sent to meet with General Wiranto, the Indonesian armed forces commander, on April 8. Blair's mission, as one senior US official told me, was to tell Wiranto that the time had come to shut the militia operation down. The gravity of the meeting was heightened by the fact that two days before, the militias had committed a horrific machete massacre at the Catholic church in Liquiça, Timor. YAYASAN HAK, a Timorese human rights group, estimated that many dozens of civilians were murdered. Some of the victims' flesh was reportedly stuck to the walls of the church and a pastor's house. But Admiral Blair, fully briefed on Liquiça, quickly made clear at the meeting with Wiranto that he was there to reassure the TNI chief. According to a classified cable on the meeting, circulating at Pacific Command headquarters in Hawaii, Blair, rather than telling Wiranto to shut the militias down, instead offered him a series of promises of new US assistance. According to the cable, which was drafted by Col. Joseph Daves, US military attaché in Jakarta, Admiral Blair "told the armed forces chief that he looks forward to the time when [the army will] resume its proper role as a leader in the region. He invited General Wiranto to come to Hawaii as his guest in conjunction with the next round of bilateral defense discussions in the July-August '99 time frame. He said Pacific command is prepared to support a subject matter expert exchange for doctrinal development. He expects that approval will be granted to send a small team to provide technical assistance to police and...selected TNI personnel on crowd control measures." Admiral Blair at no point told Wiranto to stop the militia operation, going the other way by inviting him to be his personal guest in Hawaii. Blair told Wiranto that the United States would initiate this new riot-control training for the Indonesian armed forces. This was quite significant, because it would be the first new US training program for the Indonesian military since 1992. Although State Department officials had been assured in writing that only police and no soldiers would be part of this training, Blair told Wiranto that, yes, soldiers could be included. So although Blair was sent in with the mission of telling Wiranto to shut the militias down, he did the opposite. Indonesian officers I spoke to said Wiranto was delighted by the meeting. They took this as a green light to proceed with the militia operation. The only reference in
[CTRL] Yeltsin Linked To Bribe Scheme
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: Yeltsin Linked To Bribe Scheme Yeltsin Linked To Bribe Scheme Swiss Probe Finds Firm Made Payoffs To President, Other Russian Officials By Sharon LaFraniere Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, September 8, 1999; Page A01 GENEVA, Sept. 7A Swiss investigation has uncovered construction company that received major Kremlin contracts paid tens of thousands of dollars in bills on credit cards in the names of President Boris Yeltin and his two daughters, according to law enforcement authorities. The contractor, a Swiss firm called Mabetex, also provided $1 million that was transferred to a Hungarian bank account several years ago for Yeltsin's benefit, the authorities said. In all, Mabetex made between $10 million and $15 million in payoffs to high-ranking Russian officials, including Yeltsin, and their families, according to one official familiar with the inquiry. The investigation has been in and out of the news for more than a year, but the size of the alleged payoffs to Yeltsin and his family was not previously disclosed. A spate of allegations in recent weeks of high-level Russian financial corruption has caused political storms in Russia and the United States. In a separate money-laundering inquiry, revealed last month, U.S. prosecutors are investigating billions of dollars that flowed from Russia through accounts at Bank of New York. Mabetex's top official, Behgjet Pacolli, has denied paying any bribes. Yeltsin's press spokesman also said neither the president nor his family engaged in any wrongdoing. The investigation into Mabetex has been overseen in Bern by Swiss prosecutor Carla del Ponte, who is resigning next week to become the new U.N. war crimes prosecutor in The Hague. The Swiss have been aggressively pursuing a money-laundering case against Pavel Borodin, the Russian official who managed Mabetex's Kremlin contracts and has denied any wrongdoing. Investigators have determined that Mabetex set up bank accounts for Borodin's benefit in the Swiss cities of Lugano and Geneva. But the Swiss money-laundering inquiry can bear fruit only if Russian officials prosecute Borodin for corruption. The Swiss are relying on the Russians to show that the money that went to Borodin's accounts came from improper sources. "The Russians have the main investigation," Del Ponte said in an interview today. "We hope they can go on and complete it." However, there is a widespread perception in Moscow that Yeltsin's government is impeding the Russian side of the investigation. Earlier this year, Yeltsin suspended chief Russian prosecutor Yuri Skuratov, who was investigating the case. The suspension came just a few days after Del Ponte described the links between Mabetex and Yeltsin in a telephone conversation with Skuratov, according to knowledgeable sources. The Mabetex probe has also been slowed by the recent transfer of the principal Russian investigator on the case. Swiss investigators uncovered the credit cards issued to Yeltsin and his two daughters while looking for payments from Mabetex to Borodin, officials said. Mabetex's records showed the company made regular credit card payments over two to three years to a Swiss bank. Investigators later determined the cards had been for Yeltsin and his daughters, the officials said. It is not clear what the credit cards were used to purchase. In Moscow, suspended prosecutor Skuratov said that he'd been told by Swiss authorities that Mabetex spent a total of 15 million Swiss francs (about $10 million) on bribes to high-ranking officials, including Yeltsin, and their families. In an interview with the newspaper Versia, Skuratov called for a full investigation and raised anew the question of credit cards allegedly given to Yeltsin and his daughters by Mabetex president Pacolli. In a separate television interview tonight, Skuratov said he was told in March by the Swiss investigators that Pacolli's bank accounts were used to "fill the credit cards of Yelena Okulova, Tatyana Dyachenko and Boris Nikolayevich [Yeltsin] himself." Okulova and Dyachenko are Yeltsin's daughters; Dyachenko is a Kremlin aide. He said the Swiss prosecutor, del Ponte, "gave this figure, which in their opinion was the money spent by Mr. Pacolli to bribe the Russian officials." In Washington, three senior U.S. officials briefed a handful of reporters today on how and when they learned of the separate Bank of New York probe, saying that they knew few details until the case became public last month. The State Department first heard about the movement of huge amounts of money from Russia to the Bank of New York in March, officials said. Authorities in another country brought the case to their attention and suggested that Russian organized crime might be involved. At the time, there was no suggestion that any U.S. or
[CTRL] Kansas battle over evolution lingers on (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Kansas battle over evolution in schools lingers on By Carey Gillam OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Sept 11 (Reuters) - A month has passed since the Kansas Board of Education voted to remove evolution as a key concept in the state's science curriculum, but the issue still touches raw nerves for people on both sides of the debate. The Kansas Board of Education on Aug. 11 voted 6-4 to embrace new standards for science teaching in public schools that eliminate evolution as an underlying principle of biology and other sciences. ``This issue is not going away,'' said board member William Wagnon, one of the four who voted against the new science standards. ``It is a live issue. The long-term consequences of this are phenomenal. If not corrected, it will undermine a very fine public education system.'' Kansas Board of Education Chairwoman Linda Holloway, who voted in favour of eliminating evolution teaching, said she stopped reading her e-mails after hundreds of what she described as insult-laden messages from around the country filled her home computer. She said her husband was worried about threats of violence. If not for the board's action rewriting the state's science standards, evolution would be given too much credence in the classroom, Holloway said. ``I would do it again,'' she added. With children settling in for the new school year in communities across Kansas, many of the state's school district leaders and teachers have pledged to continue to teach evolution as they have in the past. The Kansas science curriculum standards set out guidelines for instruction and dictate what will appear on state tests. But decisions about day-to-day instruction remain in local hands. Some districts are mulling changes. The district in Pratt, Kansas, for instance, is considering including a book questioning evolution's validity in supplemental reading for science classes. Pratt district superintendent Ken Kennedy said a group of parents proposed the book, adding that the timing of the move was merely coincidental to the board vote. Some state legislators are calling for a law mandating the teaching of evolution, as well as a measure that would reduce the power of the state's board of education. A group of moderate Republicans have also announced plans to target fellow Republican Holloway for defeat in elections next year. Additionally, the chancellor of the University of Kansas last week announced the formation of a task force on scientific literacy in education. The theory of evolution holds that over millions of years humans and other life forms evolved from earlier life forms. Religious conservatives in Kansas and elsewhere are looking anew at science instruction in their local schools and dissecting the ways in which evolution instruction does or does not align with what they see as church teachings about the creation of man and the universe. Mary Kay Culp, an official with the Kansas Catholic Conference, said she was pleased with the de-emphasis of evolution, but said the new standards did not go far enough in purging evolution teaching from classrooms. On the other side of the issue, the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri has mailed letters to every school district in Kansas threatening legal action at the first hint of unconstitutional religious intrusion into public schools. Earlier this week, two community organisations made moves at finding a middle ground. At their invitation, National Centre for Science Education Executive Director Eugenie Scott discussed evolution and creationism in presentations held in a Lawrence, Kansas, church and a Jewish community centre in Overland Park, Kansas. Scott said people did not necessarily have to choose between evolution and creationism. ``Many people think that evolution is the way God brought about life,'' she said. But Scott argued that downplaying evolution in the state's science curriculum standards was wrong. ``I'm sure in school districts around the state, less evolution will be taught, and that will be a disservice to students when they go on to college,'' Scott said. 11:49 09-11-99 Copyright 1999 Reuters Limited.

[CTRL] From Heads Up 9-12-99 (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Heads Up A Weekly View from the Foothills of Appalachia September 12, 1999 #151 by: Doug Fiedor[EMAIL PROTECTED] EXERPT: A RIGHT TO BE LET ALONE AT HOME Except in an emergency, it is a violation of civil rights for government agents to enter a home without a search warrant when not invited in. So says at least one U.S. Court of Appeals. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals case, Calabretta v. Floyd (9715385), "involves whether a social worker and a police officer were entitled to qualified immunity, for a coerced entry into a home to investigate suspected child abuse, interrogation of a child, and strip search of a child, conducted without a search warrant and without a special exigency." The facts of the case are simple: Some neighbor called Social Services with a complaint that they heard the Calabretta's youngest child crying something like "No, no, no daddy" one night. Evidently, that's all it takes in California. The social worker, Floyd, went to the home to investigate but, as was her right, Mrs. Calabretta would not allow Floyd in. So, Floyd went to the office and made a report. Then, Floyd went on a two week vacation. Somewhere along the line, Floyd learned that the Calabrettas were a very religious family and home schooled their children. That being a red flag in the face of government social workers and teachers, Floyd called for police assistance in visiting the family. And, this is where things get a little uncomfortable: Many police officers follow the law and would not enter the Calabretta's home without either being invited in or having a warrant. Some police officers will bully their way in, via intimidation. Others will do anything it takes, including shooting, to get in. This police officer used intimidation. Well, social worker and police officer claimed they have something called "qualified immunity" for what they did and therefore are protected against any civil or criminal action -- even though they obviously violated the Calabretta's Fourth Amendment rights. Their theory was that an administrative search to protect the welfare of children does not carry the requirement that they first secure a warrant. The Court, however, did not agree. And now things get very interesting. The court said that "the facts in this case are noteworthy for the absence of emergency." No one was in distress. "The police officer was there to back up the social worker's insistence on entry against the mother's will, not because he perceived any imminent danger of harm." And he should have known better. Furthermore, "had the information been more alarming, had the social worker or police officer been alarmed, had there been reason to fear imminent harm to a child, this would be a different case, one to which we have no occasion to speak. A reasonable official would understand that they could not enter the home without consent or a search warrant." And now the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals defines the law: "In our circuit, a reasonable official would have known that the law barred this entry. Any government official can be held to know that their office does not give them an unrestricted right to enter peoples' homes at will. We held in White v. Pierce County (797 F.2d 812 (9th Cir. 1986)), a child welfare investigation case, that 'it was settled constitutional law that, absent exigent circumstances, police could not enter a dwelling without a warrant even under statutory authority where probable cause existed.' The principle that government officials cannot coerce entry into people's houses without a search warrant or applicability of an established exception to the requirement of a search warrant is so well established that any reasonable officer would know it. Under White, appellants' claim, that 'a search warrant is not required for home investigatory visits by social workers,' is simply not the law." The Court continues later: "The Fourth Amendment preserves the 'right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses . . . .' without limiting that right to one kind of government official. It is not as though all reasonable people thought any government official could enter private houses against the occupants' will, without search warrant or special exigency, and then White said that police officers could not, without speaking about social workers. Rather, everyone knew that the government could not so enter houses, and White said that principle was well established, in the context of a child abuse investigation." And there we have it: "Any government official can be held to know that their office does not give them an unrestricted right to enter peoples' homes at will. The principle that government officials cannot coerce entry into people's houses without a search warrant or applicability of an established exception to the requirement of a

The revelations are included in a new book co-authored by ex-Soviet spymaster Vasili Mitrokhin and discussed in an interview he gave to the British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC), excerpts of which will be broadcast Sunday by the CBS News program "60 Minutes.'' Mitrokhin, whose disclosure about Briton Melita Norwood's nuclear espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union made headlines Saturday, says that for years he copied top-secret documents by hand and smuggled them from Russian intelligence headquarters, sometimes in his shoes, and hid some of them in a mattress. He wrote "Sword and the Shield: Secret History of the KGB'' with British academic Christopher Andrew, who spoke with "60 Minutes'' about Mitrokhin's note-taking and smuggling activities over a 12-year period that began in the early 1970s when he was put in charge of moving the KGB archives to a new site. Mitrokhin, now 77 and living as a British citizen under an assumed name, was motivated by apparent disillusionment over Soviet crackdowns on dissidents. "I wanted to show the efforts, the tremendous efforts of this machine of evil,'' Mitrokhin told the BBC. "And I wanted to demonstrate what happens when the foundations of conscience are trampled over and when other moral principles are forgotten. I regarded this as my duty as a Russian patriot.'' Mitrokhin divulges a trove of information about KGB efforts in the United States, including an aggressive disinformation attempt to pin the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the Central Intelligence Agency. But a major disclosure involves Mitrokhin's claim that Soviet spies surveyed hundreds of potential sabotage sites in the United States and Western Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. ''As part of that,'' according to "60 Minutes'' "they buried booby trapped arms caches near some of the targets.'' The explosives presumably are still there. In the United States, the KGB sabotage plan covered areas across the country. One of the first targets identified by the KGB was an oil pipeline running from El Paso, Texas, to Costa Mesa, California. The Hungry Horse Dam in Montana also was on the list as was a "tremendously elaborate system'' for knocking out electrical power to New York state, "60 Minutes'' reports. Mitrokhin's files, said "60 Minutes,'' did not "spell out'' how many explosives were buried in the United States or their exact locations, but Andrew says in his U.S. TV interview that the Kremlin knows where they are. In Europe, Andrew said one of the sabotage sites was ''checked out'' in Switzerland. Mitrokhin's directions were followed "precisely'' and when investigators began to dig, they uncovered something dangerous. "They turned a fire hose (on the site) and it exploded,'' he said. = 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, A Good Day. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] The Beginning Of The Gunfight At Waco (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- The Beginning Of The Gunfight At Waco It's On The Tape! One of the key questions regarding the Waco tragedy is, "who fired the first shot"? If the Davidians surprised the ATF by firing through the closed front door as the ATF claims, then the picture of the Davidians as crazed, gun toting killers itching for a gunfight with the feds would have some support. On the other hand, if the ATF agents were the first to fire, then government claims that the ATF agents were "ambushed" would be shown to be yet another lie, and the returned fire by the Davidians would be legal self defense. On April 13, 1993, six days before the Davidian complex was consumed by fire, David Koresh talked to the FBI and the FBI recorded the conversation. During the conversation an FBI negotiator asks Koresh how it came to pass that the ATF "got their asses all shot up like that?". This prompts Koresh to recount the beginning of the gunfight. An audio version of the conversation can be found on this page http://rampages.onramp.net/~djreavis/audiotapes/index.htm -- via the link at the bottom of the page, labeled "David Koresh/FBI, April 13, 1993 (207k)". You will need RealPlayer which can be downloaded here http://www.realaudio.com/. A transcript of the part of the conversation dealing with the beginning of teh gunfight at Waco follows (it starts about 2:07 into the recording referenced above) As you listen to or read the transcript of the conversation, keep in mind that Koresh would have no knowledge that the tape he saw the ATF making would be lost[1]. . . . FBI: How come if you knew they were comin' you didn't just come out and meet 'em Koresh: I did! I did! I did! It's on the tape! Look at the tape! FBI: How come they got their asses all shot up like that? Koresh: Huh? FBI: How come they got their asses all shot up like that? Koresh: Well Look at the tape! I came out on the on the front porch FBI: Why I mean where did all that where did all that frickin' gunpower come from? Koresh: Gerald, you know, you've seen the tapes. Be honest now. Be Honest! Here I am . FBI: You're gotta help me out cause I came in here just a couple of weeks ago Koresh: Well, John, ask to review those first tapes. FBI: Alright Koresh: Ok -- Here I am at the front door totally unarmed, my my my feet out on the front porch the the door in my left hand (unintelligible) behind me, my right hand up and the exact words that I hollered out as they were all blowin' out of the back of the trailer my my exact words were, you know "Get back! There's women and children here! Let's talk about this!" And all of a sudden they were comin' around you know that that shot was fired and it was right here in the door in the very angle where I was, and the door kicked . . . and at that point there, you know ah ah its all on tape I know you all got that tape, because I saw the guys right across the street when I was on the front porch, over there taping it! --- 1: David Hardy is a Tucson lawyer that has filed a number of Freedom Of Information actions regarding the Waco matter. One of Hardy's more interesting findings is that, according to the ATF, all of their photographic evidence is missing. Here is how ATF describes the missing photographic evidence (see this page): The "official" videocam, set up to film the operation, mysteriously ejected its tapes rather than recording them. The agency attributes this to radio interference from nearby transmitters. (Strange, since video remote controls work on infrared, not radio, signals. Just as strange, the agency admits that when it attempted to duplicate the occurence, it was unable to make it happen.). That wasn't the only "official" videocam filming the front of the building during the raid. There was another, mounted on a tripod beside the communications van. And another at a sniper position. And still another (although this may overlap with one of the first two) filming from an "elevated position." Mysteriously, none of these videotapes can be found. And the agency officials who saw them in the past say that every single camera malfunctioned in the seconds before the raid. (Quality control isn't what it used to be apparently.). The only clue was that these videos may have been given to the Texas Rangers. But when I asked for copies from the Rangers, they replied that the videos were in Rangers' possession, but not in their control.
[CTRL] blue beam - Detail Exposed Part 1 (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 16:35:34 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Operation Blue Beam - Detail Exposed Part 1 (sent to USCMike1's 32,809+ readers - Please repost to you own mailing lists and newsgroups - Thanks) Dear Citizens, Patriots, Veterans, et al: Please read this incredible tale of apparations and modulated microwave images and sounds and voices directed into your brain, I was told today by those in the know that holographic images of tanks and war machinery were projected over the desert to the Iraqis to scare them into submission during Desert Storm. Looks like it worked quite effectively. So there are two separate weapons. One projects images in the air while the other projects images into your mind. Every wonder why Buford Morrow the day care center killer checked himself into a psych-hospital prior to going on his rampage and claimed that he heard voices telling him to kill people. They would not listen to him. USCMike1 NASA PROJECT BLUE BEAM This is from the International Free Press in Canada. The International Free Press network is not a religious group, neither is it a political organization, but an independent worldwide investigation press agency in the field of politics, economics, medical and military. We specialize in investigating and publishing special reports and audio tapes to expose the underworld of the United Nations conspiracy to implement a New World Order. Our task is to make the people realize that the agenda of the New World Order is not a dream or some wild, paranoid theory; it is a real on-going Satanic project. For what? To abolish all Christian traditional religions in order to replace them with a one world religion based on the cult of man. To abolish all national identity and national pride in order to establish a world identity and a world pride. To abolish the family as known today in order to replace them with individuals all working for the glory of the new one world government. To destroy all individual artistic and scientific creativity to implement a one world government one-mind sight. And that kind of declaration of war from the United Nations is for the implementation of a universal, obligatory membership to the United Nations, a strengthening of the UN by a multi-military and multi-police force, a world-wide justice department through the UN with an international tribunal, a worldwide new trade agreement for all nations, the end of cold war and local wars as they are today, and the obligation for peace by scrapping all national and state constitutions. Also, a new world religion and a new culture for all men. If we really wish to understand the NASA Blue Beam Project, we have to return to the "dawning of the age of Aquarius." Remember that song? That song said, "When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligned with Mars, then peace will guide our planet and love will steer the stars." This related with the year 1982 to be, at that time, the opening for the conspiracy of the age of Aquarius, just before the implementation of the new world order, supposed to begin sometime in 1983. I have to say that the Blue Beam Project was set up for the year 1983. It has been delayed; we don't know exactly why. But, since 1983 (eleven years before the publication of this report), they have really improved themselves with new technology and innovations in space hardware and software in which they are involved right now to make their systems possible. So, the goals of the new age movement under which the United Nations operates right now, are the implementation of a new world "messiah." The tools of the new world order are, 1. an international army; 2. an international police force; 3. a world bank for the economy; 4. a world government under the United Nations; 5. a world conservatory bank for wilderness preservation around the world. That means all "green" movements will be melded into the new international bank or disappear altogether; 6. a world religion where all church doctrines will be destroyed at the roots to be replaced by the new world religion of the age of Aquarius; 7. the world seven-races classification for all human slaves who will fulfill predetermined work tasks whether they agree with it or not; 8. the world concentration headquarters at the United Nations for those who will not accept the new system; 9. the world agriculture and food supply control which will control food and vitamin supplies around the world. The new world order will be an "in-between" government system for USSR, Great Britian and all its commonwealths, and the United States with its melting-pot population. This is, at the end, a new spiritual and political world order which will replace the old ones under which we live right now. What are the new world order plans? They plan on the destruction of all people who believe in the Bible or worship Jesus
[CTRL] blue beam - Details Exposed Part 2 (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 16:37:34 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Operation Blue Beam - Details Exposed Part 2 Here is the second part of the explanation of Operation Blue Beam Allen Frie also reports that he could speed up, slow down or stop the hearts of isolated frogs by synchronizing the pulsed rate of a microwave beam with the heart itself. According to Robert Baker, similar results have been obtained using live frogs, which shows that it is technically feasible to produce heart attacks with rays designed to penetrate the human chest. EDITOR'S NOTE: Both the author of this report and his colleague died of "heart attacks" only days apart one in Canada and the other while visiting Ireland. Neither had a history of heart problems. I should mention also that Dr. Baker does NOT participate in such research. It has been demonstrated that focused ultra high frequency UHF electromagnetic energy beams can be used to induce considerable agitation and muscular activity or induce muscular weakness and lethargy. Microwaves can also be used to burn human skin and aid the effect of drugs, bacteria and poisons or affect the function of the entire brain. These effects were all revealed at length by the CIA on September 21, 1977 in testimony before the Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research. Dr. Sidney Gottlieb sp. who directed the MK-Ultra program at that time was forced to discussed the scope of the CIA's research to find techniques of activation of the human organism by remote electronic means. So this is something that exists right now, that has been pursued to its highest degree, that can be used from space to reach any person, anyplace on the face of the earth. If we go deeper in that process of mind control over the people we find that the equipment and technology has been used to influence politics in a much more direct fashion. Michael Dukakis, the Democrat candidate running against George Bush in the 1988 election was targeted with microwave technology in order to impede his public speaking performance once the the public opinion polls showed he posed a serious threat to Bush's election prospects. He also claims that the equipment was used against Kitty Dukakis and drove her to the brink of suicide. In the Disneyland world of U. S. politics, a presidential candidate with problems such as these, would obviously lose their race to the White House. In the December 1980 edition of the U. S. Army Journal, called the Military Review, a column by Lt. Col John B. Alexander, entitled, "The New Mental Battlefield: Beam Me Up, Spock," provides further insight into the technical capabilities at the disposal of the comptroller. He writes, "Several examples will demonstrate areas in which progress have been made. The transferrence of energy from one organism to another; the ability to heal or cause disease to be transmitted over a distance, thus inducing illness or death from no apparent cause; telepathic behavior modification which includes the ability to induce hypnotic states up to a distance of 1,000 kilometers have been reported. The use of telepathic hypnosis also holds great potential. This capability could allow agents to be deeply planted with no conscious knowledge of their programming. In movie terms, the Manchurian Candidate lives, and does not even require a telephone call. "Other mind-to-mind induction techniques are being considered. If perfected this capability could allow the direct transferrence of thought via telepathy from one mind or group of minds to a select target audience. The unique factor is that the recipient will not be aware that thought has been implanted from an external source. He or she will believe the thoughts are original." This is exactly what we were talking about. The third step in the NASA Blue Beam Project is called the Telepathic Electronic Two-Way Communication. Lt. Col Alexander's article continues: "If it is possible to feed artificial thought into the multigenic field via satellite, the mind control of the entire planet is now possible. An individual's only resistance would be to constantly question the motivation behind their thoughts and not act upon thoughts which they consider to be outside their own ideological, religious and moral boundaries." Once again, it is wise to consider how television, advertising, modern education and various types of social pressure are used to manipulate those boundaries. It has been reported by Lt. Col Alexander who said, in the summary of his Military Review article, "The information on those kinds of technologies presented here would be considered by some to be ridiculous since it does not conform to their view of reality. But some people still believe the world is flat." Now, this means a lot, because if people do not believe this kind of technology is possible, or that it is science fiction, those people put
[CTRL] Rainbow Family and Global Peace Walk2000 (response to Plunker's letter)
-Caveat Lector- Howdy Plunker, Barry: I am responding to your below letter emailed to me on 7Sept hoping you get this before traveling to Portland, Oregon, for your September 15th appearance at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals hearing on your two year legal action against the US Forest Service to stop their illegal and unconstitutional interference with the Rainbow Gatherings. I hope your and others' efforts will avert the growing potential for a "Waco type law enforcement action" at any upcoming gatherings "of the people, by the people, and for the people". In case this email may be too late to reach you in time I am copying it to others one of whom may be able to get it to you. I will be meditating on your work there as I prepare for my talks here about the Capital Hills Research Center proposal on September 16th http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000/chrc.html The reason why I want you to have this response to take to share with the folks on occasion of your court appearance is so you can clearly let them know that the people are tired of such US government oppression all over the world and we are going to do something about it this time in an effective and nonviolent way by conducting the Global Peace Walk2000 from San Francisco (January 15th) to Washington DC and the United Nations next year to redress these grievances and to remedy them by demanding remedial measures from every politician who wants to get elected next November by gathering perhaps more than a million people together around the Washington Monument on Comumbus Day, October 12, 2000, to dedicate it as a Peace Pole (symbol of the message of peace) and offering a Global Peace Platform with a great cry together to the heavens for "Global Peace Now!". http://www.globalpeacenow.org When people ask you who are the leaders of the Rainbow Family Global Peace and Prayer Gatherings held July 4th each year to manifest one global family of humankind living in peace and prosperity, perhaps you could consider the answer offered by one of the coordinators of The Long Walk for Survival in 1980 to the swat team that came to their camp looking for Dennis Banks, "the survivor is the leader". One of the most amazing realizations about The Gatherings I have had since attending my first one in New Mexico in 1977 is that they seem in fact to be lead and guided by the spirit of love itself which many folks call God in various names and forms. Why else would so many hard working people go to so much trouble and effort behind the scenes for no pay or recognition to work all year from year to year to produce and staff a free gathering to host the great unwashed of America? (in addition of course to the cool and the hip and the fortunate who attend) Truly if Jesus Christ were to return and see a Rainbow Gathering, He would certainly say that at least some folks understood what he was really talking about! Aside from the comments on your letter/report interspersed below, what I wanted to point out is that it is this same spirit which has initiated this Global Peace Walk2000 for next year coming as a result of the call for such a great first transcontinental peace march of the new millenium issue to the International Nuclear Aboliton2000 Coalition by our dear Rainbow brother Thomas (a legal liaison in Washington DC) of Proposition One http://www.prop1.org , which now has a bill in Congress for everyone's support to globally abolish nuclear weapons and instead fund human needs, and this call has been taken up by another dear brother Rev. Yamato, who first brought the Peace Pole Ceremony to the Rainbow Gatherings in 1978, to continue the Global Peace Walk project he initiated with the walk from New York to San Francisco in 1995 to bring out the prayer for "Global Peace Now!" as a universal human resolve and to foster a worldwide Global Peace Zone2000 for which we have already received numerous letters and proclamations of support from community, religious, cultural and political leaders including various city mayors most recently the Mayor of Rome, NY, who presented his municipal Global Peace Zone proclamation to Rev. Yamato on stage at the Woodstock '99 concert. http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000/woodstock.html As you know, it is not only the Rainbow Family Gatherings which are "under siege" by the Federal Government, but also the sick and dying patients who are restricted use of medical marijuana recently recognized as legitimate medicine by the same government's Institute of Medicine, the black populations of US inner cities who have been victimized and imprisoned as targets of the drug war by the police/military/industial/media/corporate/prison industial complex even with the complicity of its own CIA as acknowledged by the CIA Inspector General's report still being kept from public view by a Congressional committee barely kept active by a small but growing public awareness http://www.copvcia.com , and most blatently of all the ongoing centuries
Re: [CTRL] Smyrna
-Caveat Lector- You're right about the USAF enlisted having a hard time getting along. Been there; done that. NATO is the usual military organization. I was there when Turkey was under martial law, but we were as happy with the martial law as the Turks were. It hadn't made life difficult for us, but if a Turk went to the store to buy bread, no one knew if he would make it back alive. Ecevet and Demerol were doing their usual bombastic yada, and that general taking over was the best thing that ever happened. Where we were and while we were there, the only times Americans had a real problem, it was discovered that they were trying to date Turkish girls (It's not done that way over there) or were buying or selling drugs. You're right about them not putting anything about that in the papers (ours at least). I guess you can always find a drug dealer (there or here) if you're looking. Very few Turks seemed to use drugs, but they certainly didn't mind making money off of anyone who did. I don't know how they felt about hashish. It's been around the middle east and used in the middle east for centuries. Opium has always been grown there, but no Turk I ever heard of was stupid enough to use it. It was a cash crop, sold to foreigners who apparently knew no better. We probably paid more for our apartment too, but then we had a lot more money. I go along with you regarding the electricity and heat. It's not like the U.S. We usually had the electricity, but Turks aren't really sure anyone needs heat I guess. One thing I've always been grateful for was being taught the method to get really clean by using one large bucket of water. That should help in Y2K situations if they every develop. Anyway, I'd love to be where I could have tea in Swan Park this afternoon. and maybe have guvech and ekmek for dinner.

[CTRL] Fwd: The Transformation of a Butterfly Part I
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: *STRIDER* [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: The Transformation of a Butterfly Part I Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 22:54:55 -0500 (CDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 11:45:29 EDT Subject: The Transformation of a Butterfly Part I From The Konformist ( http://www.konformist.com ) The Transformation of a Butterfly Robert Sterling ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) "I gave my word to this tree, the forest and to all the people that my feet would not touch the ground until I had done everything in my power to make the world aware of this problem and to stop the destruction." On December 10, 1997, a 23 year-old woman named Julia Hill climbs to a six by eight foot platform on a redwood in Humboldt County, California. The redwood - known both as "The Stafford Giant," for being the largest remaining tree near the Northern California town, and "Luna," in honor of being discovered on a full moon - was found blue-marked to be chainsawed in the fall by activists of the environmental group Earth First! To save the 1,000 year-old Luna, a nonstop tree sit-in began, one in which Julia Hill is merely going to be another member of. Luna is over 200 feet tall, but the platform that Julia climbs to is 180 feet above ground, the same number which represents in degrees a complete reversal in direction. This isn't the only interesting symbolism here: as a child, Julia chose the nickname "Butterfly," a name which implies metamorphosis. On this day, John Elway is labeled a loser who chokes in the Super Bowl, and the 61 homers of Roger Maris is an almost unthinkable record to break. "Titanic" is getting good word of mouth, but there are wide expectations it will lose money, since it will have to earn nearly impossible box-office receipts to merely break even. Few people have ever heard of Monica Lewinsky, Matt Drudge or Linda Tripp, not to mention Sammy Sosa, Britney Spears or South Park. * One thing hasn't changed in the 20-plus months since Julia Hill (now 25) climbed that platform: Julia's feet have yet to return to the ground, even through two hot summers and two cold winters (one plagued by the El Nino storm.) With her determination to remain on the Luna platform, Julia has transformed into the most lovely of butterflies for a movement, and while the direction of the battle against Pacific Lumber's destructive logging practices certainly hasn't turned 180 degrees, Julia has become a potent symbol which frightens executives for the timber giant. Most notable of the executives is Maxxam CEO Charles Hurwitz, who does the best impression possible of Montgomery Burns (the villainous nuclear power plant owner in The Simpsons.) Having evaded deserved imprisonment for masterminding the fifth largest SL failure of the Reagan-Bush era for an astounding $1.6 billion, Maxxam used money funneled from the bank swindle to engineer a hostile takeover of Pacific Lumber. From the moment Maxxam took over PL, the company has engaged in rabid clearcutting, tripling the rate of logging on the world's largest privately-held ancient redwood forests. The purpose of these destructive (and often illegal) logging practices appears to be extorting a sweetheart deal from the government for the land, a deal which they may receive through the Pacific Lumber Habitat Conservation Plan, which would pay Maxxam and Hurwitz $480 million for 9,500 acres, while letting them still control 200,000 acres of forests. The plan outrages most environmental activists, who have fought the giveaway in the courts. The best plan to save Headwaters and other forests, they argue, is to jail Hurwitz for his crimes and trade the land for his massive debts, not to reward him for his misdeeds. While such issues certainly do disturb Julia, she chooses not to focus on such long-term battles. With an almost Buddhistic simplicity, she instead fights one issue at a time, in her own words, "Day by day, prayer by prayer." To her, sitting in Luna is like a domino: save it, and other victories will soon follow from the aftershocks. Her battle plan has already worked to an extent few (including herself) would have ever imagined possible. As Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart put it, "Julia is a lightning rod 180 feet atop a giant redwood. She says, 'No more old-growth redwoods should be cut - not on my watch.' She's the Joan of Arc of the redwoods." Joan of Arc she is, along with a Rosa Parks, who kick-started the civil rights movements for refusing to leave her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. She is also the Cal Ripken of tree-sitters, having an ironwoman grit that has had obliterated all previous tree-sit records (before her, the longest is believed to have been no more than 3 months.) And she insists she will continue to be St. Joan, Rosa and Cal combined, until the Luna tree (and the grove it is part of) is saved, and she brings worldwide attention to the international

The long, silent years mock these words. The descent began almost a quarter of a century ago when Indonesian special forces invaded the defenceless Portuguese colony. On December 7, 1975, a lone radio voice rose and fell in the static: "The soldiers are killing indiscriminately. Women and children are being shot in the streets. This is an appeal for international help. This is an SOS - please help us." No help came, because the western democracies were secret partners in a crime as great and enduring as any this century; proportionally, not even Pol Pot matched Suharto's spree. Air Force One, carrying President Ford and his secretary of state Henry Kissinger, climbed out of Indonesian airspace the day the bloodbath began. "They came and gave Suharto the green light," Philip Liechty, the CIA desk officer in Jakarta at the time, told me. "The invasion was delayed two days so they could get the hell out. We were ordered to give the Indonesian military everything they wanted. I saw all the hard intelligence; the place was a free-fire zone. Women and children were herded into school buildings that were set alight - and all because we didn't want some little country being neutral or leftist at the United Nations." And all because western capital regarded Indonesia as a "prize". Having been tipped off about the invasion, the British ambassador cabled the foreign office that it was in Britain's interests for Indone sia to "absorb the territory as soon and as unobtrusively as possible". Since then, the foreign office has lied incessantly about East Timor - not misled, lied. When the film I made with David Munro and Max Stahl, Death of a Nation, disclosed the extent to which the British were involved, especially the use of British Aerospace Hawk fighter aircraft in East Timor, officials of the south-east Asian department tried to denigrate and smear East Timorese witnesses to the Hawks' bombing raids, whose relatives had been killed and maimed by British cluster bombs. When Robin Cook's predecessor, David Owen, licensed the sale of the first Hawks to Indonesia in 1978, he dismissed reports of the East Timorese death toll, then well over 60,000 or 10% of the population, as "exaggerated". For almost 20 years, the BBC and the major western news agencies preferred to "cover" East Timor from Jakarta, which was like reporting on a Nazi-occupied country from Berlin. The coverage was minute; not offending the invader and keeping your visa became all-important. A Jakarta-based BBC correspondent told me that my film, made undercover in East Timor, had "made life very difficult for us here". In Whitehall, a refined system of flattery worked well. Senior broadcasters and commentators popped into the foreign office without any material favours expected. For them, the flattery and "access" were enough. Thus, both Tory and Labour governments, Indonesia's biggest weapons suppliers, were able to go about their business of complicity in genocide unchallenged, bar the efforts of a few honourable exceptions. More recently, the grotesque hypocrisy of Tony Blair weeping for the children of Dunblane, then sending machine guns that mow down children in East Timor, was ignored. So was Robin Cook's epic cynicism, allowing him to leap from telling parliament in 1994 that Hawk aircraft had been "observed on bombing runs in East Timor in most years since 1984" to denying his own words - to the public-relations stunt of an "ethical" foreign policy while his functionaries lied to journalists that no Hawks were operational in East Timor. Now that Hawks have been visible to all over East Timor, Baroness Symonds, who has the Orwellian title of defence procurement minister, insults the intelligence and humanity of Radio 4 listeners by lecturing a deferential James Naughtie on "rights". East Timor's tormentors should have British weapons because they "have a right under the United Nations charter to defend themselves". Moreover, "they have a right" to come to next week's British government-sponsored arms fair in Surrey, the biggest ever. Last year, her government approved the sale of ú625bn in arms, a record never reached by the Tories and surpassed only by the US. Tomorrow, the East Timorese leader, Xanana Gusmao, is due to be released from house arrest in Jakarta. If he returns to his homeland, he is likely to be killed and the murder

Observers say that the military has greatly stepped up training of civilian police and arming them with weaponry over the past 20 years. But federal law bars the military from direct law enforcement activities -- such as searches, seizures and arrests. Some criminal justice experts are worried that neighborhood police are becoming too militarized. o The Defense Department has provided everything from tanks at the 1993 siege at Waco, Texas, to explosives experts to blow out a prison door, to special forces training for the FBI and small-town law-enforcement officers. o In 1996-97, the Pentagon issued more than a million pieces of equipment to local police departments. o One military organization alone -- Joint Task Force Six, an anti-narcotics force based in southwest Texas -- provides 500 training missions to local law enforcement each year. o The task force's own guidelines in 1993 -- the year it trained agents for the Waco raid -- stated that "legal and policy barriers to the application of military capabilities are gradually being eliminated." Some experts warn that increasingly militarized civilian police forces threaten civil liberties and can result in excessive force being used.

[CTRL] Fwd: The Transformation of a Butterfly Part II
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: *STRIDER* [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: The Transformation of a Butterfly Part II Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 22:55:00 -0500 (CDT) continued from Part I - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 6 Sep 1999 11:45:42 EDT Subject: The Transformation of a Butterfly Part II From The Konformist ( http://www.konformist.com ) The demonization of Earth First! is the direct result of an organized campaign promoted by the FBI and the timber companies. Admittedly, Earth First! made it quite easy to be discredited originally: most members spoke in favor of the practice of tree spiking, and in 1987, when George Alexander was nearly decapitated at a Louisiana Pacific lumber mill in Cloverdale mill, the group showed little sympathy for his plight. Soon after, they were blamed in the press for the accident, though no evidence has ever been presented for the allegation and nobody was ever charged. Still, the smear was an easy stick, based on the leaderships' refusal to disavow acts of sabotage that were potentially lethal. The aftershock of such reckless philosophical nihilism lasts to this day: although there have been no injuries of lumberjacks caused by Earth First! members, the label of the group as "tree spikers" still exists. In 1988, the FBI launched a major sting operation against Earth First! in Arizona, Operation THERMCON. Over $3 million dollars were spent trying to entrap and frame members of Earth First! in acts of destruction. Over 50 FBI agents were involved in the operation, including agent Michael Fain and informant Ron Frazier. Both Fain and Frazier were the leaders of five people caught trying to disrupt power lines in the Arizona desert. Despite the fact that the failed act of sabotage was conceived and commanded by FBI provocateurs, the further damage to Earth First! and its reputation had been done. It could have been worse: among the plans Fain couldn't convince others to participate in was attacking nuclear power plants. In 1990, the campaign heated up in reaction to Proposition 130, the California initiative, dubbed Forests Forever, which would have ended unsustainable logging and clearcutting. If it had passed, the losses to Pacific Lumber, Louisiana Pacific and Georgia Pacific would have been in the hundreds of million dollars. Even worse, a new leader in the Earth First! movement was emerging: Judi Bari, who insisted that Earth First! as a group condemn all potentially hazardous acts of disobedience. Bari, a former union organizer, also began reaching out to local loggers. The twin values promoted by Bari were a threatening combination to the status quo: it's hard to demonize those that preach non-violence, and her developing alliance with workers could drive a stake in one of the most effective tools for business monoliths: pitting workers against environmentalists, making the issues of jobs and ecological balance appear to be in conflict. (In truth, considering the shoddy treatment loggers receive from the lumber giants - Louisiana Pacific has laid off over a thousand workers since 1988 and engaged regularly in union-busting activities, and Pacific Lumber under Hurwitz has looted $55 million from the worker pension fund - they actually share a common opponent in exploitation with forest activists.) The big three lumber companies soon hired Hill Knowlton, the PR firm that would later sell America on mass murder in Iraq. Soon, Prop 130 was labeled "The Earth First! Initiative." Phony Earth First! flyers and press releases calling for violence and sabotage were released. Something known as the "Earth First! Terrorism Manual" began circulating as well. According to San Francisco Examiner columnist Rob Morse, a press kit he received from HK and Pacific Lumber "included a press release on the Earth First! letterhead, but not written in the usual careful, sweet style of Earth First! It read like a bad Hollywood version of what radicals talk like... At the bottom of this ridiculous flyer was the name of Earth First! leader Darryl Cherney, with his first name misspelled..." Then, on May 24, 1990, Judi and Darryl were both nearly killed, when a motion-triggered pipe bomb hidden under the driver's seat of Judi's car exploded in Oakland, California. Oakland Police immediately arrested them, blaming the bombing on the victims, who they claimed were injured by their own bomb going off by accident. Over the next month and a half, the Oakland PD and the FBI trotted out claim after claim of sensationalistic lies, all to convince the public of their guilt. Bari informed the police she had received numerous death threats in the months preceding the bombing, but the cops weren't interested. "If you turn up dead, then we'll investigate," they said. If they had ever bothered to investigate, their findings would have been quite interesting. Just a month before the bombing, the FBI conducted a bomb investigation

On June 3, NATO and Serbia reached a Peace Accord. The U.S. declared victory, having successfully concluded its "10-week struggle to compel Mr. Milosevic to say uncle," Blaine Harden reported in the New York Times. It would therefore be unnecessary to use ground forces to "cleanse Serbia" as Harden had recommended in a lead story headlined "How to Cleanse Serbia." The recommendation was natural in the light of American history, which is dominated by the theme of ethnic cleansing from its origins and to the present day, achievements celebrated in the names given to military attack helicopters and other weapons of destruction. A qualification is in order, however: the term "ethnic cleansing" is not really appropriate: U.S. cleansing operations have been ecumenical; Indochina and Central America are two recent illustrations. While declaring victory, Washington did not yet declare peace: the bombing continues until the victors determine that their interpretation of the Kosovo Accord has been imposed. From the outset, the bombing had been cast as a matter of cosmic significance, a test of a New Humanism, in which the "enlightened states" (Foreign Affairs) open a new era of human history guided by "a new internationalism where the brutal repression of whole ethnic groups will no longer be tolerated" (Tony Blair). The enlightened states are the United States and its British associate, perhaps also others who enlist in their crusades for justice. Apparently the rank of "enlightened states" is conferred by definition. One finds no attempt to provide evidence or argument, surely not from their history. The latter is in any event deemed irrelevant by the familiar doctrine of "change of course," invoked regularly in the ideological institutions to dispatch the past into the deepest recesses of the memory hole, thus deterring the threat that some might ask the most obvious questions: with institutional structures and distribution of power essentially unchanged, why should one expect a radical shift in policy -- or any at all, apart from tactical adjustments? But such questions are off the agenda. "From the start the Kosovo problem has been about how we should react when bad things happen in unimportant places," global analyst Thomas Friedman explained in the New York Times as the Accord was announced. He proceeds to laud the enlightened states for pursuing his moral principle that "once the refugee evictions began, ignoring Kosovo would be wrong...and therefore using a huge air war for a limited objective was the only thing that made sense." A minor difficulty is that concern over the "refugee evictions" could not have been the motive for the "huge air war." The United Nations Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported its first registered refugees outside of Kosovo on March 27 (4000), three days after the bombings began. The toll increased until June 4, reaching a reported total of 670,000 in the neighboring countries (Albania, Macedonia), along with an estimated 70,000 in Montenegro (within the FYR), and 75,000 who had left for other countries. The figures, which are unfortunately all too familiar, do not include the unknown numbers who have been displaced within Kosovo, some 2-300,000 in the year before the bombing according to NATO, a great many more afterwards. Uncontroversially, the "huge air war" precipitated a sharp escalation of ethnic cleansing and other atrocities. That much has been reported consistently by correspondents on the scene and in retrospective analyses in the press. The same picture is presented in the two major documents that seek to portray the bombing as a reaction to the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo. The most extensive one, provided by the State Department in May, is suitably entitled "Erasing History: Ethnic Cleansing in Kosovo"; the second is the Indictment of Milosevic and associates by the International Tribunal on War Crimes in Yugoslavia after the U.S. and Britain "opened the way for what amounted to a remarkably fast indictment by giving [prosecutor Louise] Arbour access to intelligence and other information long denied to her by Western governments," the New York Times reported, with two full pages devoted to the Indictment. Both documents hold that the atrocities began "on or about January 1"; in both, however, the detailed chronology

Ever-present advertising, ideological bombardment by institutions that challenge the very idea of public policies for the common good, isolation and cultural protectionism: this is the heavy price Americans pay as their tribute to the god of business. by HERBERT I SCHILLER * Professor Emeritus of Communication at the University of California, San Diego. _ For at least half a century, the global theatre has had one dominating actor - the United States of America. Less in total direction of the stage now than 25 years ago, the American presence in the world economy and culture remains commanding: a gross national product of $7,690 billion in 1998, the home base of the majority of the transnational corporations that scour the world for markets and profits, the overseer of the many facades of international decision-making, the United Nations Organisation, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the World Trade Organisation and others, the cultural-electronic Goliath of the universe. Its supremacy is recognised universally and with increasing resentment, to judge by the comments of a British diplomat reported by the American academic, Samuel P Huntington: "One reads about the world's desire for American leadership only in the United States. Everywhere else one reads about American arrogance and unilateralism" (1). Yet how the world sees us may not be as revealing as how we see ourselves. How do those who live in this globally pre-eminent territory understand their own and their country's situation? Is it, in fact, so obvious to everyone, as they go about their daily routines, that they are part of a dominating global order? When, if at all, do people in this ruling core society express indignation at, or resistance to, the burdens their order imposes on others - and frequently on themselves as well? This is not an awareness that can be taken for granted or that inevitably surfaces. Indeed, the far-reaching enterprise of being the global overlord requires not indignation but support, or at least acquiescence, from the people who inhabit the home territory - some 270 million of them. Up to the present time this has been achieved in a complex way, one that combines heavy indoctrination that begins in the cradle with a system of selection and/or omission of information that reinforces the enterprise's maintenance and growth. Along with intense, though often veiled, efforts of persuasion, and equally extensive exclusion of potential discordancies, there is a well-graded arsenal of coercions that begin with admonition and end with incarceration. There are almost 1.8 million people in prison in the USA, a world record per head of population. Together, to date, these instruments of social control have been remarkably successful in producing, if not enthusiastic believers, at least general acceptance at home of the US control apparatus and its procedures for running the world. In justification of this endeavour, there are continual reminders by the governing class of how blessed everyone is, at home and abroad, with the present arrangements. The refrain of America's greatness has echoed throughout the land in the post-second world war years. One president after another tells Americans how wonderful they are. Not only at the present time but apparently since Neanderthal days, the country is without peer. Madeleine Albright has even described it as "the indispensable nation" (2). How can anyone not recognise the bliss of living in the US at this time? Yet many do not. Assertion, apparently, is not enough. More comprehensive methods of securing popular adherence, never absent in the past, are being refined and calibrated for the millennium ahead. One of the most tested and effective means of keeping order in the ranks comes from definitional control - the ability to explain and circulate the

David Zhang, who runs the unofficial China Fangcheng Church in the province, told an American-based human rights group that the home church leaders would receive "heavy, long-term" sentences. "The Government already sees home churches as an evil religion and they will take advantage of the repression of the Falun Gong sect to root out our churches," he told Human Rights in China. The 31 church leaders were taken away by police late last month while attending an evangelical meeting in a house west of Tanghe in the southwest region of Henan. Mr Zhang's home was later raided by police who said the minister was under investigation for "harming state security". "The main leaders including Zhang Rongliang, Feng Jianguo, Wang Xincai and Zheng Shuqian will be tried at the Fangcheng County court," Mr Zhang told the rights group. "Sources have told me that Zhang Rongliang may be sentenced to more than 10 years." But an official at the Tanghe County Public Security Bureau said yesterday that most of the detained members had been released after receiving "re-education". "The people remaining in custody have not yet been tried and are still under investigation for activities in relation to evil religions," he said, but refused to give the number still detained. The rights group said it was alarming that the authorities seemed to have abandoned all legal procedures in handling the Christians. The speed in which they were to be sentenced indicated the authorities were determined to uproot the underground church in Henan - a traditional stronghold for Christians. Coincidentally, five Falun Gong members have been detained by Beijing police for attending a gathering in defiance of the ban on the sect. According to the Beijing Morning Post, 19 people recently showed up for a meeting on the lawn behind the Beijing Exhibition Hall. It was held at the behest of Jiang Shilong, a member of Hainan province's Falun Gong branch. Mr Jiang sought the help of Jilin province member Li Hongbing, who introduced him to Zhu Shuyuan, director of a local Beijing branch of Falun Gong. Together they organised the event, which discussed the situation in Hainan and Beijing. Police arrived and seized everyone. Members who are not Beijing residents have been sent back to their towns.

[CTRL] U.S. Studies Religious Persecution
-Caveat Lector- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/19990909/pl/us_religious_persecut ion_2.html Politics Headlines Thursday September 9 5:25 PM ET U.S. Studies Religious Persecution By GEORGE GEDDA Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A State Department report Thursday pointed to evidence of widespread religious persecution in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, all under varying degrees of authoritarian rule, and to discrimination in some democratic countries as well, including Israel and India. The report, covering 194 countries and territories, is the first of what will become an annual assessment of the state of religious freedom around the world. The most serious violators could eventually face economic sanctions. The study stressed that religious persecution is not confined to a particular faith. ``Throughout the world, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and other believers continue to suffer for their faith,'' it said. While the report did not rank the countries based on the degree to which they limit freedom, the excesses attributed to the Iraqi government stood out. Iraqi leader ``Saddam Hussein has for decades conducted a brutal campaign of murder, summary execution and protracted arbitrary detention against the religious leaders and adherents of the Shiite Muslim population,'' the report said. It said Iraqi security forces ``have murdered senior Shiite clerics, desecrated mosques and holy sites, arrested tens of thousands of Shiites and forcibly prevented Shiites from practicing their religion.'' Shiites in Afghanistan also suffered persecution and killing at the hands of the Taliban-led government in Kabul. Afghan police impose ``severe physical punishment and imprisonment'' for deviations from codes of worship and dress,'' the report said. It said Iran is intent on eradicating the Baha'is through prolonged detention and imprisonment, confiscation and desecration of graveyards and holy places. It added that other religious minorities in Iran also suffer. In general, the report made clear that democratic countries are far more tolerant of religious diversity than are countries run by totalitarian or authoritarian regimes. The report credits India, for example, for respecting constitutional provisions guaranteeing freedom of religion. But it said, tensions between Muslims and Hindus in India, and to a lesser extent between Hindus and Christians, ``continue to pose a challenge to the concepts of secularism, tolerance and diversity on which the state was founded.'' It added that state and local governments only partially respect religious freedom. The report also said there have been numerous reports of human rights abuses carried out by the mostly Hindu security forces against the predominantly Muslim population in the region of Kashmir controlled by India. As for India's rival, Pakistan, the report said discriminatory legislation has encouraged an atmosphere of ``religious intolerance, which has led to acts of violence by extremists against members of religious minorities, including Christians, Hindus, Ahmadis and Zikris.'' In democratic Israel, the report said the country's 20 percent Arab population does not receive the same quality of education, housing, employment opportunities and social services as Jews. In addition, it said, ``government spending and financial support are proportionally far lower in predominantly non-Jewish areas.'' On China, the report said Chinese citizens can face harassment or prolonged detention in labor camps if they practice religion outside officially sponsored churches. The study also cited credible reports of abuse against Buddhist monks and nuns in China, including Tibet. In Beijing, a Chinese spokesman rejected the allegations as malicious interference. ``Nobody has been arrested or detained because of religious beliefs,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Sun Yuxi said. ``If religious believers are arrested, it is not because of their religious beliefs but because they have taken part in criminal activities.'' President Clinton is expected to meet this weekend with Chinese President Jiang Zemin at the Asia-Pacific summit in Auckland, New Zealand. Comment: Now, don't you feel all better because Clinton is looking out for your rights?

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Today's Lesson from The Laundrymen (1996) by Jeffrey Robinson Private banking still operates in what used to be Yugoslavia, offering incredibly high interest rates. During the height of the war, for example, it reached 10 to 15 percent per month, amounts way out of line with the rest of Europe. ...private banks in the area were known to be using hard currency deposits to finance drug deals--half of Bosnia is said to be covered with fields of cannabis, and ethic Albanians have established a firm hold over the heroin market--which in turn financed weapons. It all worked by means of a typically triangular trade route. An Austrian shell company, whose beneficial owners are unknown, bought arms from Bulgaria and delivered them to Albanians arming the underground in the anti-Serb revolt. The Bulgarians used the money to pay for raw opium in the Middle East, which it sold to the Albanians. In turn, the Albanians refined the opium into heroin and spent their profits buying arms from the Austrian shell. Disguised as a legal business deal and protected by strict banking secrecy, no one caught them breaking UN sanctions. = Spy vs. Spy Scotland Yard Detective Was a KGB Agent The Vasili Mitrokhin revelations continue. A SECOND Briton - a former Scotland Yard detective - was identified as a KGB agent by the Soviet defector Vasili Mitrokhin but escaped prosecution, The Telegraph can disclose. Mitrokhin, a former KGB archivist, named John Symonds, now 64, as a spy when he fled to the West in 1992. The list of Soviet spies handed to MI6 also included Melita Norwood, now 87, who passed crucial atomic secrets to the Kremlin under the codename HOLA. Yesterday, a barrage of criticism greeted the revelation that Norwood was not brought to justice but allowed to carry on living quietly in a south London suburb. Senior Conservatives condemned Jack Straw, the Home Secretary, for failing to disclose the treachery unmasked by Mitrokhin. The Telegraph has also learnt of a series of extraordinary revelations made by Mitrokhin which show the extent of KGB operations against Britain and the West. These include disclosures that: The KGB planned to disrupt the investiture of the Prince of Wales. A late Labour MP, Raymond Fletcher, was recruited as a Soviet agent. Moscow plotted to injure the ballet stars Rudolf Nureyev and Natalya Makarova - who had defected - to ruin their careers. A series of plots were launched against the Pope. Symonds, who left the Yard while facing corruption charges before he began working for the Soviets, has three children and now shares his time between homes in North London and Portugal. Codenamed Scot, he passed on sensitive information and was used as a so-called "Romeo agent" whose task was to sleep with employees of foreign embassies in order to extract secrets. Symonds was a detective sergeant who had served at least 15 years in the Metropolitan Police, and in 1969 was one of three officers charged with corruption following a newspaper investigation into bribery at the Yard. He skipped bail and fled to Morocco, claiming later that he did so because he had been framed in Britain and could not get justice. In Morocco, Symonds served as a mercenary but after a short time allowed himself to be recruited by the KGB. It was his bitterness towards his treatment in Britain, says Mitrokhin, that encouraged him to defect to the Soviets. Between 1973 and 1980 he toured the world on KGB business, staying in five-star hotels. He subsequently claimed to have lured more than 100 women to his bed during this period - largely thanks to seduction techniques taught him by his Soviet spymasters. According to Mitrokhin, he played a crucial part in the downfall of Willy Brandt, the West German chancellor. Symonds returned in 1980 because he was homesick. He stood trial for corruption at the Old Bailey, pleading not guilty, but was convicted and jailed for two years. He told MI5 he was willing to give full details of his espionage career, and offered to supply invaluable details of KGB personnel and structure around the world. He was dismissed as a fantasist. In 1985 he told his story to the Daily Express - but security sources again dismissed it. Only now has the Mitrokhin archive confirmed all its incredible details - thereby demonstrating that British intelligence missed a colossal opportunity. Symonds makes a full confession in BBC2's The Spying Game, to be broadcast on September 19. He said: "I am not proud of what I did - but I was driven to the KGB because I could not get justice." Tom King, the former Defence Secretary and chairman of the Parliamentary committee on security and intelligence warned that there would be a flood of further revelations from the Mitrokhin archive. He said: "We

[CTRL] DRUDGE: KGB JFK assassination
-Caveat Lector- don't remember if anyone posted this yesterday jeff from DRUDGE REPORT BOOK: KGB TRIED TO LINK JFK ASSASSINATION TO CIA THROUGH U.S. CONSPIRACY THEORISTS The NEW YORK TIMES is reporting on Sunday details from a new book co-authored by a former Soviet spy asserting that during the Cold War the KGB planted bogus evidence with U.S. conspiracy theorists trying to tie the John F. Kennedy assassination to the CIA! TIMES' spook watcher James Risen offers details from former KGB agent Vasily Mitrokhin's new book "The Sword and the Shield" -- including how a fake Lee Harvey Oswald letter -- purportedly written to CIA agent E. Howard Hunt two weeks before JFK's death -- made its way into books, a Dallas newspaper and eventually congressional hearings. Risen writes that the KGB attempts to reach beyond fringe conspiracists in the U.S. ultimately failed, though. "But the archives spirited out of Russia by Mitrokhin appear to support the longstanding assertions by CIA officials that the KGB conducted disinformation campaigns designed to raise dark suspicions about the U.S. government and prominent American leaders around the world." === Jeff Russo [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.cs.clemson.edu/~jeff - "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those who have not got it." -- George Bernard Shaw __ Do You Yahoo!?

Why not George de Mohrenschildt, a Russian friend of George W Bush.Jr. and the Texas oil crowd with all kinds of verifiable links to JFK assassination... Of course you can play this game two ways.

[CTRL] Military forces' role in Waco challenged
-Caveat Lector- http://www.star-telegram.com/news/doc/1047/1:POLITICS71C/1:POLITICS71C091299.html Updated: Sunday, Sep. 12, 1999 at 00:15 CDT Military forces' role in Waco challenged By Jennifer Autrey Star-Telegram Staff Writer The images of Bradley fighting vehicles punching holes in the wooden compound of the Branch Davidian sect and of helicopters hovering overhead as the structure burned have become etched in America's collective psyche. The extent and legality of the military involvement in the 51- day siege at the Mount Carmel compound near Waco six years ago is expected to be a focus of upcoming investigations into the fiery end of the siege on April 19, 1993. The bodies of sect leader David Koresh and about 80 of his followers were recovered in the fire's remains. Among questions surrounding the operation is how military personnel, equipment and munitions were used and whether the government had a role in setting the blaze that consumed the compound. At the heart of the questions about military involvement is the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the armed forces from participating in civilian law enforcement operations. Some issues expected to be examined are: * The involvement of the Delta Force, an elite, top-secret Army unit established to combat terrorism. Some former government officials say the Delta Force had a greater role in the operation than the FBI acknowledges and, as a result, violated the Posse Comitatus Act. In a sworn affidavit, a former sergeant first class in Army Special Forces said a noncommissioned officer told him that the Delta Force's "B" Squadron had been ordered to "take down" the Branch Davidians at Mount Carmel. * Whether federal officials used a 1990 change in the Posse Comitatus Act -- allowing the use of the military in anti-drug operations -- to assist the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI in the Waco siege and assault. When the ATF asked the military for help in staging its initial raid of the compound on Feb. 28, 1993, military officers said the ATF would have to reimburse the Army for any assistance because there was "no known drug nexus," according to Lt. Col. Lon Walker, an Army liaison to the ATF. Less than a month later, the ATF added "drug activity" to the matters it was investigating in regard to the Branch Davidians, a move that a congressional report called "deliberately misleading." * Possible violations of Texas and Alabama state laws prohibiting the use of National Guard personnel and equipment against the Branch Davidians. Texas law prohibits the use of the Texas National Guard in civilian law enforcement unless there is a clear drug connection. Alabama law says its National Guard force has no authority outside state boundaries. National Guard personnel and equipment from both states were used at Mount Carmel. A congressional report has determined that those actions were taken without proper authority. Delta Force Recent revelations indicate that the Delta Force had a greater presence and a more active role in the final assault on the Branch Davidians than FBI officials have acknowledged. According to at least one account, the Delta Force was there not to advise, but to kill. Steven Barry, a retired Special Forces sergeant who sometimes trained members of the Delta Force, gave a sworn affidavit to

[CTRL] Coping with Africa's Aids disaster
-Caveat Lector- http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/africa/newsid_444000/444974.stm "Southern Africa is now at the epicentre of new infections. Almost a quarter of adults in Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe are HIV positive and in South Africa there are an estimated 1,500 new infections every day." These are alarming figures. Hilary Sunday, September 12, 1999 Published at 14:20 GMT 15:20 UK Coping with Africa's Aids disaster Aids has run rampant on the continent An international conference on Aids has opened in the Zambian capital Lusaka to discuss how to contain the further spread of the HIV virus, which has become the continent's number one killer. Thousands of people in Africa become infected with HIV every day, and the continent is home to two-thirds of the global population of those infected with the virus. The impact on African economies and society has been devastating. The top UN Aids campaigner, in Zambia to attend the conference, said the world community had failed to mobilise to fight the disease. Dr Peter Piot, executive director of the UN Aids agency, said half of all newborn babies in Africa carry the HIV virus that leads to Aids. "Aids is cutting productivity of companies, far too many people are too sick to work, Africa's middle class is being decimated," Mr Piot told Reuters news agency. He said that while Western powers had found the will to deal with crises like that in Kosovo, they had made no attempt to respond in the same way to Aids. The World Health Organisation's director for Africa, Ibrahim Samba, said the disease should be declared a global disaster. African leaders absent Several thousand delegates at the Lusaka conference will discuss ways of caring for those who are already HIV positive and containing the further spread of the disease. The main strategy under discussion is changing people's sexual behaviour to protect those who are yet to be infected, and lobbying for cheaper drugs that can turn Aids from a death sentence into a chronic but survivable disease. Since the Aids epidemic began, 34 million Africans have been infected with HIV and almost 12 million have already died. Southern Africa is now at the epicentre of new infections. Almost a quarter of adults in Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe are HIV positive and in South Africa there are an estimated 1,500 new infections every day. There is some evidence that HIV infection rates are dropping in countries like Uganda where national health education campaigns, political support and increased awareness of the disease have helped. But BBC correspondent Greg Barrow, who is in Lusaka, says that despite the huge problems of Aids on the continent, not a single African head of state attended the opening ceremony. He says that, of all the speeches at the opening ceremony, it was one delivered by an eight-year-old Zambian girl which was the most poignant: "My best friend will turn eight next month ... Her father will not be there to help her blow out her birthday candles. Her mother will not be there to help her cut her birthday cake. "They both died from Aids last year."

[CTRL] Fwd: [MC] Balkanization of Cults HYPOTHETICAL/undocumented
This seemed like a good way to create centralized thought control. 1. Create lots of new cults revive old ones eg Wicca 1951 2. Make each new "religion" believe only they have the correct answers 3 Discourage all old established religions 4 Try to subdivide old existing religions with NEWTHOUGHT eg. Algores Church of St. John the divine (Christa worship) 5. Grant special status to non-political cults or religions (501c3 IRS) 6. Encourage and infiltrate all new cults. eg Solar Temple Heavens Gate 7. Create the idea that central authority is the arbitrator of cult disputes. 8. Create new movements eg save the whales, save the spotted owls etc. 9. Revive nature worship -This takes into a material realm- 10.Directly fund a give special status to new movements eg Siera Club/UN What this would do is bring thought control in to realm of direct government control by disallowing the idea that there is anything "above" man. It would also by human nature create endless disputes between the various sects of the existing religions and the new cults. It's a divide and conquer senario where all thought could ultimately be controled, and each person would think only they had the correct answer.

[CTRL] FLUORIDATED WATER MAY PROVOKE LEAD POISONING
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Source: A HREF="http://ens.lycos.com/ens/sep99/1999L-09-09-09.html"http://ens.lycos.com/ens/sep99/1999L-09-09-09.html/A = FLUORIDATED WATER MAY PROVOKE LEAD POISONING Chemicals commonly used to add fluoride to public drinking water supplies may make children more susceptible to lead poisoning, a new study suggests. A study published last month in the "International Journal of Environmental Studies" found that silicofluorides, added to water supplies to help reduce tooth decay, are associated with higher absorption of lead. Roger Masters, emeritus professor of government at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, analyzed a survey of over 280,000 Massachusetts children. He and his colleagues found that lead levels in children's blood was significantly higher in Massachusetts communities using the silicofluorides fluosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride than in towns where water is treated with sodium fluoride or not fluoridated at all. Children in communities that use these chemicals were over twice as likely to have over 10 milligrams per deciliter of blood lead than children in towns that do not use silicofluorides. Over 90 percent of America's fluoridated drinking water supplies are treated with silicofluorides. "Virtually all research on fluoridation safety has focused on sodium fluoride, even though the studies in the 1930s showed important biological differences between these chemicals," says Masters. "The correlation with blood levels is especially serious because lead poisoning is associated with higher rates of learning disabilities, hyperactivity, substance abuse and crime." The investigators have also analyzed data from six other states as well as in the National Health and Nutrition Evaluation Survey. The results, which have not yet been published, find a correlation between silicofluorides and blood lead levels, as well as higher rates of violent crime and substance abuse. The first rule of activism is that the guy with the explosives is always the government agent. It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative, without changing a single idea. - R.A.

Re: [CTRL] U.S. Studies Religious Persecution
-Caveat Lector- Is Texas included in their study? Amelia - Original Message - From: K [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 12, 1999 7:25 AM Subject: [CTRL] U.S. Studies Religious Persecution -Caveat Lector- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/19990909/pl/us_religious_persecut ion_2.html Politics Headlines Thursday September 9 5:25 PM ET U.S. Studies Religious Persecution By GEORGE GEDDA Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A State Department report Thursday pointed to evidence of widespread religious persecution in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, all under varying degrees of authoritarian rule, and to discrimination in some democratic countries as well, including Israel and India. The report, covering 194 countries and territories, is the first of what will become an annual assessment of the state of religious freedom around the world. The most serious violators could eventually face economic sanctions. The study stressed that religious persecution is not confined to a particular faith. ``Throughout the world, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and other believers continue to suffer for their faith,'' it said. While the report did not rank the countries based on the degree to which they limit freedom, the excesses attributed to the Iraqi government stood out. Iraqi leader ``Saddam Hussein has for decades conducted a brutal campaign of murder, summary execution and protracted arbitrary detention against the religious leaders and adherents of the Shiite Muslim population,'' the report said. It said Iraqi security forces ``have murdered senior Shiite clerics, desecrated mosques and holy sites, arrested tens of thousands of Shiites and forcibly prevented Shiites from practicing their religion.'' Shiites in Afghanistan also suffered persecution and killing at the hands of the Taliban-led government in Kabul. Afghan police impose ``severe physical punishment and imprisonment'' for deviations from codes of worship and dress,'' the report said. It said Iran is intent on eradicating the Baha'is through prolonged detention and imprisonment, confiscation and desecration of graveyards and holy places. It added that other religious minorities in Iran also suffer. In general, the report made clear that democratic countries are far more tolerant of religious diversity than are countries run by totalitarian or authoritarian regimes. The report credits India, for example, for respecting constitutional provisions guaranteeing freedom of religion. But it said, tensions between Muslims and Hindus in India, and to a lesser extent between Hindus and Christians, ``continue to pose a challenge to the concepts of secularism, tolerance and diversity on which the state was founded.'' It added that state and local governments only partially respect religious freedom. The report also said there have been numerous reports of human rights abuses carried out by the mostly Hindu security forces against the predominantly Muslim population in the region of Kashmir controlled by India. As for India's rival, Pakistan, the report said discriminatory legislation has encouraged an atmosphere of ``religious intolerance, which has led to acts of violence by extremists against members of religious minorities, including Christians, Hindus, Ahmadis and Zikris.'' In democratic Israel, the report said the country's 20 percent Arab population does not receive the same quality of education, housing, employment opportunities and social services as Jews. In addition, it said, ``government spending and financial support are proportionally far lower in predominantly non-Jewish areas.'' On China, the report said Chinese citizens can face harassment or prolonged detention in labor camps if they practice religion outside officially sponsored churches. The study also cited credible reports of abuse against Buddhist monks and nuns in China, including Tibet. In Beijing, a Chinese spokesman rejected the allegations as malicious interference. ``Nobody has been arrested or detained because of religious beliefs,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Sun Yuxi said. ``If religious believers are arrested, it is not because of their religious beliefs but because they have taken part in criminal activities.'' President Clinton is expected to meet this weekend with Chinese President Jiang Zemin at the Asia-Pacific summit in Auckland, New Zealand. Comment: Now, don't you feel all better because Clinton is looking out for your rights?

[CTRL] sodomite pressure group claims TV is too straight
-Caveat Lector- (see commentary at end of scroll) GLAAD Demands More On-Air Homosexuals On the heels of the recent complaint from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) that prime-time television programming is "too white," the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has complained that the world as depicted in television entertainment is too straight the presence of 28 homosexual, bisexual, or "transgender" characters in the fall lineup notwithstanding. "The group is disappointed that most of the characters are white males, who are gay in name only and have only minor, recurring roles usually as the butt of jokes, or to provide comic relief," reported the Conservative News Service on August 24th. "The only gay lead on prime-time television is the character Will Truman of NBCs Will Grace." "If Will Truman doesnt have a date on Will Grace this season, then the network has failed to realistically deliver that sitcoms premise of the life of a gay man," complained GLAAD spokesman Scott Seomin. "With over 540 lead or supporting characters on prime time this fall, the gay community encompasses less than 2 percent of the total portrayals." Accepting for the purpose of discussion the curious notion that prime-time television is intended to offer a "realistic" portrayal of society, it should be noted that homosexuals constitute something less than 2 percent of the population, meaning that the networks have gotten the numbers about right. However, a realistic portrayal of "gay" life would require immersion in its pathologies disease, violence, relentless promiscuity, and premature death. What GLAAD seeks is a glamorized, politically useful portrayal of homosexuality, and Hollywood will no doubt seek to placate the sodomite pressure group. http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1999/09-27-99/vo15no20_insider.htm THE NEW AMERICAN (An Affiliated Publication of the John Birch Society) http://www.thenewamerican.com/ The John Birch Society http://www.jbs.org/ Since 1958, members of The John Birch Society have led the movement to restore and preserve freedom under the U.S. Constitution.

-Caveat Lector- MONDAY FEBRUARY 15 1999 ARMED AND DANGEROUS Fear and loathing in Kingsville, Texas Local residents fuming over Army live-fire exercise By David M. Bresnahan © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com A group of Kingsville, Texas, citizens now plan to pursue action against their city for permitting the Army to use live ammunition during an exercise in their town known as Operation Last Dance. Angry citizens are expected to crowd the next city council and county commission meetings, both scheduled to be held Feb. 22. At least one citizen is looking into legal action. Back door to building blasted open. Some residents said they were terrified when helicopters swooped into town from the Army Special Operations Command, Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, last Monday night. One helicopter hit a telephone pole, which started a fire and horrified residents who saw it happen. At least eight helicopters are reported to have participated in an assault exercise using live ammunition and explosives very close to innocent bystanders who were not warned of the planned action. Fire officials confirmed that they responded to the resulting fire, but had no warning that the exercise would take place. They were also summoned to put out a building fire caused by explosions set off during the exercise. It has since been learned from military sources that the actual group involved in the exercise is known as the Knight Stalkers, an elite group from the Delta Force. They are trained to conduct assassination missions, according to several retired military officers who had served in various special operations assignments. The Army Special Operations Command at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, has acknowledged that the event was the kick-off of a series of similar training operations going on in Kingsville, Corpus Christi and Fort Sam Houston, but would not confirm that the group was the Knight Stalkers. Additional training events have been confirmed in the area. Austin radio station talk show host Alex Jones went to Kingsville to investigate for WorldNetDaily. He arrived just in time to find work crews covering up the evidence of the extensive damage caused by the exercise. A former police station and an old Exxon office building were nearly destroyed. Evidence of bullet holes in walls, explosions from grenades, and other explosive charges could be seen. Fire damage was also extensive in at least one of the buildings. Lt. Judy Hayes, 3rd in command at Kingsville Police Department "There was a joint training session between the United States Army and the Kingsville Police Department," Lt. Judy Hayes, third in command at the Kingsville police told Jones. "The Army was doing some sort of extraction type thing. They used eight helicopters. Our training involved sealing off the area, as if we were involved in taking care of a hazardous materials type incident. We were rerouting traffic and making sure there was no civilian foot traffic in the area. So we got quite a bit of training in that area. "The only participation on the part of the Kingsville Police Department was in a hazardous materials training session. We did not participate in any way with what the Army was doing," insisted Hayes. Throughout the interview with Jones, two men in black SWAT team uniforms stood behind her. Jones believes it was an attempt to intimidate him. The Kingsville Fire Department was not given notice of the exercise, and it was not invited to participate in the alleged hazardous materials training, even though it would be called in if there were a real even of that kind. The fire department spokesman claimed officials were not aware of the event until they were called to respond to the telephone pole fire and the fire at the former police station. An elderly lady who lives in an apartment across from where the exercise took place told Jones that she was frightened to death and crying. She was sitting on a bench in full view of the area where the helicopters first appeared and where all the shooting took place. "I sit on the bench, and then I get scared because the noise. It was so terrible and too loud, you know. They were throwing some bombs. I think they were using some rifles too, and the other kind of rifles that go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, you know," said the elderly woman, identified only as Gracie. She described seeing many black helicopters with men in black coming out of them. She heard explosions and apparently machine gun fire. She said it lasted at least two hours. "I was so scared I went back to my apartment, but I could still hear the noise," Gracie said. She said she was so scared that she cried and her heart hurt. She said no one warned her or came to tell her what was going on. Business owners are also complaining. The police claim they warned businesses in the area

We would stand by for the hour or so, as naval personnel off loaded stretchers on to buses, rigged to hold litters. Some of the injured still had their boots on, mud caked in the cleats. They moved them out fast. Some of the injuries of these 19 year olds were apparent due to the lack of a swell under the blue wool blanket, where their legs were. I am 53 years old and I can't hardly see this page cause I am balling like a baby. Read their names. Read them for their moms and dads, their brothers and sisters; read them for America and Austin.

[CTRL] Secret Waco Ballistics Tests May Back Sensational Video
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=1999/9/12/113207 - Sunday September 12, 12:39 PM Secret Waco Ballistics Tests May Back Sensational Video Chief House Waco prober Dan Burton (R-IN) said Sunday that he has turned over videotape shot during the government's final April 19 assault on the Branch Davidian compound to technical experts who will determine whether the film shows federal forces shooting into the building. For six years the FBI and Justice Department have staunchly denied they fired gunshots into the compound on the day the Davidian's Mt. Carmel church burned to the ground. But ballistics evidence that could confirm charges federal forces shot and killed a number of Mt. Carmel residents has been witheld by the government for years, according to at least one local Texas law enforcement official. Burton told Fox News Sunday's Tony Snow that the expert video analysis is currently ongoing: SNOW: You have received some film from Michael McNulty who was on our program last week. He's done a documentary on Waco and is about to release another one. He purports that, that film shows definitively that FBI agents, or federal agents, fired on the Branch Davidian compound. You and your staff have looked at that film. Does it in fact show that definitively? BURTON: We need to look at that through the eyes of experts. I'm having those tapes analyzed by two different experts right now. We're going to try to find out as clearly as possible whether or not there was either the military involved or the FBI involved in firing into that compound. And so I don't think I can make a comment on that right now because the experts haven't given us their judgement. But on Friday, one of four McClennan County, Texas justices who ordered autopsies for the Branch Davidian victims told the Waco Tribune-Herald that the FBI witheld key ballistics test evidence that could confirm charges they were killed by government gunfire. "The thing that always stayed in my mind was if they were afraid some of the ordinance or ballistics could be matched up with their weaponry," Justice of the Peace David Pareya told the paper. Because the government would not release those tests results, the cause of death for many Davidians was officially recorded as unknown, the McClennan County official said. Survivors of the final Mt. Carmel assault charge that government forces fired into the compound and are ultimately responsible for the gunshot deaths. Tarrant County, Texas coroner Nizam Peerwani determined that 23 Davidians died from gunshot wounds. The Clinton Justice Department has claimed that Mount Carmel residents died by their own hands. In a Rose Garden press conference the day after the Waco massacre, President Clinton asserted that the Davidians "murdered themselves." But Dr. Peerwani said on Friday, "There is the feeling that one should go back and re-evaluate." The autopsy results of at least one of Peerwani's examinations has been challeged since he released his initial findings. Evidence noted by the Tarrant County coroner suggests that the death of Branch Davidian victim Winston Blake was caused by friendly fire. Gunpowder burns Peerwani found on Blake's skull indicate he was shot at close range. Blake was shot during the initial Feb. 28 BATF assault on Mt. Carmel. Blake's case was covered by Dick Reavis for his 1995 book, "The Ashes of Waco: An Investigation." Less than five months after his death, Blake's family, who lived in Manchester, England, had his body sent home for a second autopsy. The Manchester Police Department physician retained by relatives disputed the presence of powder burns on Blake's skull. He concluded in his autopsy report: "This injury had probably been caused by a destabilized high velocity rifle bullet of relatively low weight. This missile had probably been destabilized so as to cause it to yaw in flight prior to striking the victim. Such destabilization could have been achieved if the bullet had previously passed through a light screening cover, such as the light-weight material reported to have been used in the construction of the (Mt. Carmel) building walls." -- Dan S DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed. Substancenot soapboxing!

Re: [CTRL] [MC] MORE Send/Love Fish Info
-Caveat Lector- About the fish thing -- these may not be actual fishes. They are more leeche-worm-eel like -- and when they die they are dark black, like tar. And I may have something wrong about the fishing expeditions/systems itself here, but I think not. You have heard of men saying to women or pimps saying about prostitutes -- "selling their wares?" -- This ain't just sex. It is these special animals. And, I go further -- a portion of the U.S. is set up, esp. women, with implants that bring in these animals. These dead send fishes are all over NYC streets -- and scattered by the hundreds throughout the NYC subway system's walkways. This is NOT tar. There is NO tar in the subway system areas -- all walks are cement. There is no tar in the subway tunnels -- they are wood and dirt and cement. There is NO tar in the subway cars. These tar baby things are ALL OVER the sidewalks of Manhattan. All over them...they are NOT tar. Try scraping one of them up -- it is not the least bit like tar. ANd it is not chewing gum. Which years ago I though it might be. It simply is not. Scraping any of them off the street will tell you this. I had a police officer confirm that these black things were "love fish" -- he knew. I believe, cause I have caught 4 of them -- and have felt the sends off of these things -- that people literally are using these to get by and get good jobs done at doctor's offices, etc. Carrying one of these around makes life around you much nicer -- cause of the sends they put off. Where do they come from? Some people, not everyone, are set-up for the catching of these. The implants in body draw in the animals -- and these people seem ot have, I know it sound weird, but wind-tunnels which are invisible to naked eye around em. In these tunnels these animals seem to live -- almost like glass fish -- see though, until they are caught -- then they take on color. I also believe that people have been used in these stranger-than-life stories for literally centuries -- the implants used for a long long time. And the animals fishing stuff is what many prostitutes are set-up with -- the johns own them. It is amazing to see these fishes come alive off the frequency draws too -- amazing. Because the catching is really something to behond. The fishes show in a flash -- and with a strange pancake-like face on them. This really is a real event -- not imagined. The evidence of the fishes' existance is all around you now too -- look at these tar babies. I am photographing this stuff in Manhattan now and NJ. The pimps know this, that the sex trade actually IS about selling these creatures from the deep. Ask a pimp (you know what they look like -- the well dressed, thick haired men...Italian a lot of them) -- to show you how they catch the send or love fish. Ask him if you pay him, if he has any for sale. Pretend you know what you are talking about -- if he says yes, ask the price, ask to see it, and ask him how to care for it. He won't be able to show you how they are caught unless he has a mind control implant victim nearby -- to catch the fish off of. THis is part of the underground workings -- girl. It is considered pretty seedy stuff by many people. But there is a whole cottage industry working about the procurement and use of these strange animals. And as I said the evidence of these things being real is on the sidewalk. About eugenics -- there are specialized crime groups -- called curmudgeons -- who often carry out implanting people who may become targeted for various reasons. Once implanted, cults they begin working the victims over with mind control programming -- often in an effort to own the person. The curmudgeon's may work for Freemasons in communities who are targeting particular people for elimination or torture or use in the satanic cult protocols. The curmudgeons also handle tracking and following people set-up as nets for the fishing stories -- and the curmudgeons can make their money through getting the selling the love fish. City officials and police may be making money on these victims and many victims are owned by pimps. These curmudgeon couples are recognizable -- rather homely -- often huge eyes -- they may not even be married. They are tied into the workings of the sex trade and love fish trade. They can track and follow mind control implanted slaves/victims for long periods.

[CTRL] Shirley Allen ought not pay a dime.
-Caveat Lector- Psychiatry for Dummies By Me Posted November 20, 1997 Let's say Barnes Noble sent you a book you didn't order. Call it Psychiatry for Dummies. It cost $23.95. You wouldn't have to pay for that book. The law would be on your side when you refused. Now, let's say a friend ordered a copy of Psychiatry for Dummies and had the book and the bill sent to you. You still wouldn't have to pay for it. Nope. Not a cent. Finally, let's say your friend decided you really, really, really, really needed a copy of Psychiatry for Dummies, because...well...because your friend thinks you're a dummy and you need psychiatric help. So this friend, in order to "help" you, gets together with executives at Barnes Noble and forges a decision at the highest levels of the company that you must have a copy of Psychiatry for Dummies. Or else. "For your own good, do you hear?!! And if you try to send it back, we'll force you to take it! And you'll pay the bill, whether you like it or not!" Would you have to pay? Of course not. Never. Your friend (Do you really need friends like this?) would get stuck with the cost. Or Barnes Noble would eat it. But there's not a court in the land that would inflict the bill upon you. So why the hell is poor Shirley Allen -- tortured for 39 days before being dragged off to a psychiatric hospital where she patently doesn't want to be -- now being told she must pay the bill for her own incarceration? She shouldn't have to pay it, even if it were $23.95. She shouldn't have to pay it even if she actually got some sort of treatment (which she is, bless her heart, refusing). She didn't order it. She doesn't want it. Case closed. That this brave woman -- who has no health insurance -- is being told she must pay $500 to $1,000 per day for being kept prisoner against her will is the most damnable, wretched flipping-on-its-head of justice in this whole unjust business. Hell, Ted Bundy didn't have to pay for his own incarceration! Charles Manson is living free off the state of California! And they're guilty of something. But Shirley? Shirley Allen ought not pay a dime. Nor should the taxpayers of Illinois, already stuck with a million dollar bill for a siege they didn't order and didn't endorse. Nor should any other innocent party. If you apply the same standards to this bill as to any other, then it's perfectly obvious who should pay for the "service" currently being rendered unto Shirley Allen. The relatives who ordered this treatment "for Shirley's own good" should get the largest share of the bill. Let them pay at least 3/4 of the cost, for having provided Shirley with the unwanted service. Next comes the judge who processed their order. And the local, then the state police. Mr. Gainer, pay your share! And how about the psychiatrists who serve at the pleasure of the state? Empty your pockets, boys girls. This one's on YOU. But that isn't going to happen. And in the meantime, it could take as little as 200 days -- just over half a year -- for this "helping system" to devour everything a self-reliant woman and her husband worked for all their lives. That doesn't even count the legal bills, which Shirley also has to pay. Just the hospitalization. Two hundred days to turn a woman from an independent human being into a piece of social baggage.And these bastards -- knowing that -- are still looking into the cameras and claiming that the destruction they have wrought is good. Since the busybodies (and busybodies with guns) who set this outrage in motion are not going to pay, let's you and I, please, put our money where our mouths are for Shirley Allen. (As of December 8) There are now two funds for Shirley. Money for the Shirley Allen Human Rights Fund, managed by Allen's guardian, can be sent to: First National Bank P.O. Box 19264 Springfield, Ill. 62794 Donations to the privately managed Shirley Allen Defense Fund can be sent to: First Trust and Savings Bank P.O. Box 350 Taylorville, Ill. 62568 This second fund is devoted to purchasing an independent mental health evaluation for Allen. Don't let the bastards grind Shirley Allen down! If the meddlers who did this to her aren't going to pay, at least don't let them stick Shirley with the bill.

[CTRL] DRY TEARS by Scottie
-Caveat Lector- Red poppies blowing in the wind, across fields in far off land.. White markers all in rows, straightly standing, among emerald lawns, and cobbled paths.. Again, once more they stand, shoulder to shoulder, hand to hand, defending all shores of man.. Bitter cold, rain wind nor snow, summer heat, can their bodies feel, from beneath, they rest.. Called to go and serve, do there best, duty done, long ago, time is done.. To weep for all eternity would take, honor their memory, put to rest our fears.. To cry for all would drain mind and soul, pray on bent knee, if you will.. Safely now they lie, they have earned the rest, so for them cry only Dry Tears..

[CTRL] COINCIDENCES AT WACO
-Caveat Lector- From The Washington Weekly (http://www.federal.com) - COINCIDENCES AT WACO Editorial By Marvin Lee I guess it is just one of those little coincidences we have grown accustomed to during the Clinton Era. The medical examiner in whose office someone accidentally "pulled the plug" on the cooling in the room where the bodies of the Branch Davidians were being kept -- causing their bodies to liquefy and preventing any sequent autopsy -- is the same medical examiner who performed the autopsy of Whitewater witness Jim McDougal after his death in federal prison last year. The Washington Weekly had difficulty obtaining the McDougal autopsy report from Chief Medical Examiner Nizam Peerwani's office at the time. At first we were told such reports take "four to six weeks" to complete. An April 30, 1998 press release from Chief Medical Examiner Nizam Peerwani actually referred to "an autopsy report released yesterday in Fort Worth." The office did, in fact, not complete or release the McDougal autopsy report until June 22, 1998, three and one half months after the death of McDougal. The report cleared federal officials of charges by other inmates of wrongdoing in the death, and attributed it instead to "hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease." Another coincidence is that one of the chief planners of the February 28, 1993 BATF raid on the Branch Davidians was Bill Clinton's personal friend William Buford. As Special Agent in Charge of Little Rock BATF, Buford was also responsible for Mena Airport, where he failed to investigate charges of gun running. When one of his employees asked Buford to authorize an investigation of Mena, Buford said that he would authorize the investigation, but warned him that several "BATF agents had lost their jobs" as a result of Mena Airport, according to former police officer Russell Welch of Mena. But of course these coincidences must be, as everything else with the Clinton administration, perfectly innocent.

Attacks are scheduled to continue through Tuesday and will not end until all of New York has been exposed to the chemical and biological weapon. The chemical agent known as MALATHION has been responsible for countless deaths, its chromosomal affects on mammalian DNA are responsible for grotesque cancers and deformations in all animal and insect life forms. MALATHION manufactured by corporate pharmaceutical giant Novartis, is a KILLER! This weekend chemical weapons deployed at the orders of New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani were released into densely populated areas, in response to a reported encephalitis epidemic (6 cases) which is allegedly threatening the health of New York City at large. Mosquitoes are the target, New York is the victim. The TRUTH about MALATHION Malathion: Weakens the immune system Is genotoxic: Causes genetic damage/mutation Has caused injury and death in farmers Extremely Cancerous Effects on wildlife: Deaths with bee colonies, crayfish, reptiles. Tumors in turtles. Malathion is an organophosphate pesticide attacking the chromosomal DNA and messenger RNA, and inhibiting natural enzymatic activities, the result wreaks havoc on the life system and causing illness and death. It is has been used extensively in Florida effectively controlling fruit flies and protecting billion dollar citrus crops. However in Florida the rates of cancer are increasing, as well as increased fetal deformities in Humans, frogs, alligators. Florida is very sick, but at least they don't have flies. The ecosystem and food chain are in serious jeopardy. Coincidentally, conveniently, and profitably pharmaceutical giant Novartis maker of pesticides such as Malathion and herbicides like Acuron, make most of their money treating sick Humans. In 1998, Novartis group sales were $21.8 billion, of which $12 billion were in healthcare, $5.8 billion in transgenic agribusiness, and $4 billion in consumer health. Again we see the similarities between Norvartis and Rhone-Poulenc, Inc.: They both manufacture cancer causing chemicals. They both manufacture questionable, yet highly profitable cures for diseases, many of which are caused by the very chemicals they market. And neither of them are even American corporations Isn't it good how to see big business and government policy working together in such harmony? The system call it good business, where I come from we call it murder in the worse degree. What to do? Well, it is a little late to protest or write anyone to stop it such insanity. Malathion is bad enough when used in open agriculture areas, but in a population center it is unheard of! The American people see big government and big business will do what they will. Continued local and nationwide pressure to end the use of these chemical and biological weapons against the American public and Mother Nature is needed.

[CTRL] UK Spy Scandal-More Spies To Be Named.
-Caveat Lector- From The Independent (U.K.) More spies to be named By PAUL LASHMAR, YVONNE RIDLEY AND RACHEL SYLVESTER Up to 12 more Britons recruited into the KGB will be unmasked later this week. Some are understood to be still alive and living in the UK. Last night, Professor Christopher Andrew of Cambridge University, the secret service historian who identified the 87-year-old great-grandmother Melita Norwood as a Soviet agent, said: "One of those named will be a prominent public figure who is now dead." The disclosures will increase pressure on the Government, which is facing intense criticism for not prosecuting Mrs Norwood, who was unmasked yesterday as a Soviet spy of 40 years' standing and the KGB's most important catch. Jack Straw, the Home Secretary, yesterday asked the director general of MI5, Stephen Lander, to prepare a full report on the case. The Home Office insisted he had not been involved in the decision not to prosecute. Earlier this year, John Morris, then Attorney General, had been made aware of Mrs Norwood's identity, but decided that "it was by then too late to undertake a prosecution". At a press conference outside her home yesterday, Mrs Norwood said: "I did what I did not to make money but to help prevent the defeat of a new system which had, at great cost, given ordinary people food and fares they could afford, a good education and a health service." Asked if she regretted her actions, she said: "No, no, no." The identity of Mrs Norwood and the other spies is contained in a huge archive of files brought out of Russia by a defector, Vasili Mitrokhin, in 1992. He smuggled out six trunks of files from the KGB's most secret archive. According to Professor Andrew, the files identify KGB agents and operations in virtually every country outside the Communist bloc. Tom King, the former Tory Secretary of State for Defence, and now chairman of the Parliamentary Security and Intelligence Committee, said the unmasking of Mrs Norwood was part of "the most complete and extensive intelligence ever received from any source". He said that there would be further revelations in the coming days. A British intelligence officer agreed yesterday that further major KGB spies would be revealed. ''There could be up to 12 more names to come out. You have to spend weeks, sometimes months, painstakingly going through file after file checking codenames and places then trying to match them with the names of real people who are either still living or existed." Some of the files deal with KGB agents in Britain who were active right up to the end of the Cold War. Mrs Norwood, codenamed "Hola", is herself believed to have helped to recruit agents for the KGB. In 1967 she allegedly helped the agency recruit a civil servant who was codenamed "Hunt". Through the 1970s he was a paid agent and provided information on British arms and arms deals. The imminent publication of the Mitrokhin archive has sent shockwaves through Whitehall, with departments rushing to wash their hands of the matter. Questions will now be asked about how much ministers knew, and whether the director general of the security services decided not to inform them of the contents of the archive. Mr King said his committee would conduct a thorough investigation into the documents, and also into the handling of the case by both Conservative and Labour administrations. "Questions need to be asked about who knew what and why there were no prosecutions," he said. Michael Howard, Mr Straw's Conservative predecessor, said he had "no knowledge" of the case. Kenneth Clarke, Home Secretary from 1992 to 1993, and Kenneth Baker (1990-92) will also be quizzed. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

(Plus Orin Hatch was still hanging on a limb because of his involvement with the BCI scandal.) This in spite of the fact that the Senate confirmation committee was swamped with voluntary testimony by many many Fla. cops and lawyers who wanted to spill the beans on Reno). Reno is desperate for power. Will do anything to hold on to power. She cold bloodedly poison gassed and fried the Waco Kids. Took Fake Responsililty later after Hubbell, Bill and Hilliary ordered her to end to standoff ( gave them bad press, dontchaknow).

[CTRL] FW: Pernod, Bacardi set to wage WTO rum war
-Caveat Lector- forwarded... Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart -Original Message- By Kevin Drawbaugh, European Consumer Goods Correspondent LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Another trans-Atlantic trade dispute -- this one over Cuban rum, rather than bananas or beef -- is scheduled to enter negotiations in Geneva on Monday. On the face of it the spat looks minor. Spirits producers Bacardi-Martini and Pernod-Ricard are fighting over a trademark and one will win. But larger implications loom. At the heart of the struggle is an obscure U.S. law, Section 211, adopted last year and shortly afterward made the target of a formal complaint by the EU to the World Trade Organization. On Monday, U.S. and EU trade delegates will begin talks on the complaint. If they cannot work out a friendly compromise, a two-year process of committee and appeal may result. Worse, trade lawyers said, an outcome displeasing to Cuban President Fidel Castro could jeopardise hundreds of U.S. trademarks in Cuba, raise questions about intellectual property rights and stir more U.S.-EU trade trouble following recent strife over the EU banana regime and hormone-treated U.S. beef. ``This is not on the scale of the bananas or the beef debates ... But these trademark disputes are becoming more and more important around the world,'' said Paul Brenton, trade economist at the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels. The Cuban rum fight traces back to the 19th century in Cuba, when the Arechabala family created Havana Club rum. The brand gained global stature by the 1930s and helped nurture the association that studies show consumers worldwide still make between the sugar-cane liquor and the Caribbean island nation. After Castro's 1959 Cuban revolution, the Arechabalas fled to exile in Spain and America. Castro seized their rum business and the Havana Club name faded away. Rum, of course, did not. Today, it is the world's third biggest-selling liquor after vodka and whiskey. And rum made by the Bacardis, another Cuban exile family, is not only the world's top-selling rum by far, but the biggest-selling spirit brand of any type. The $1.5 billion U.S. market is the world's biggest and Bacardi controls half of it. Elsewhere, Bacardi also leads, but it has been challenged lately by a revived Havana Club, which was relaunched in 1994 by a joint venture formed by France's Pernod and a Cuban state company. Havana Club cannot be sold in the United States because the U.S. government has banned all Cuban goods since 1962. But the embargo, opposed by most nations, looks increasingly shaky. If it ends, Pernod wants to be ready to challenge Bacardi in the U.S. rum market, but its position has been eroded by recent struggles that have led to Monday's upcoming talks in Geneva. To preempt any U.S. inroads by Pernod's Havana Club, Bacardi in 1996 began selling a Bahamian rum in the United States under the same name. The Pernod-Cuban group immediately sued for trademark infringement in U.S. District Court in New York. At roughly the same time, Bacardi allies in Washington wrote Section 211 and slipped it to the massive 1998 U.S. budget bill, allowing it to win Congressional approval with little attention. Section 211 prohibits U.S. registration by Cuban nationals of any trademarks formerly used by Cuban businesses that were confiscated by the Cuban government without compensation. The law forced the New York court to throw out the infringement lawsuit filed by Pernod and its Cuban partners in April, but an appeal is pending, said Pierre-Marie Chateauneuf, Pernod vice president, administration and law. ``We expect to have a final judgment from the court of appeals by the end of the year,'' he said. In the meantime, the EU working on Pernod's behalf in July filed its complaint with the WTO against Section 211. The EU and Pernod contend that the law violates trade treaties. ``We are being deprived of our trademark in the U.S.,'' said Alain-Serge Delaitte, spokesman for France's Pernod. ``What we want and what the EU wants is the repeal of Section 211 ... It's unfair and violates international law on intellectual property.'' Bermuda-based Bacardi in a statement said Section 211 is ``entirely consistent with all international treaties.'' It said, ``Pernod-Ricard has pressured the EU into filing a claim with the WTO in an attempt to politicise a purely civil dispute.'' No WTO decision is expected for many months in the spat, but one that goes against the Pernod-Cuba group could jeopardise hundreds of U.S. trademarks registered in Cuba. Castro has hinted as much in recent remarks. Even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has expressed concern and questioned Section 211. ``Our hope is obviously that this whole thing can be resolved at consultation'' next week or shortly later, said Peter Schneidereit, legal counsel for Bacardi in Washington. If it can't, he said, the dispute could grind on for years.
[CTRL] Fwd: IMF Finds Signs of Global Recovery
In a message dated 9/12/99 5:20:22 PM Central Daylight Time, AOL News writes: Subj:IMF Finds Signs of Global Recovery Date: 9/12/99 5:20:22 PM Central Daylight Time From: AOL News BCC: Ahab42 IMF Finds Signs of Global Recovery .c The Associated Press By MARTIN CRUTSINGER WASHINGTON (AP) - The global economy finally is showing signs of an upturn after struggling for more than two years with a virulent financial crisis, the International Monetary Fund said Sunday. The 182-nation lending organization said in its annual report that threats of economic troubles spreading have lessened considerably since last fall, when the collapse of the Russian ruble was felt around the world. ``This year the worst of the crisis seems well behind us,'' said the IMF's deputy managing director, Stanley Fischer. ``Most of the Asian crisis countries are recovering fast. ... Brazil's IMF-supported adjustment program is succeeding, and growth has been more rapid than expected. And the Russian economy too is doing better than expected.'' The IMF used the report to defend its handling of the currency crisis. In August 1998, it looked as if the crisis could drag down economies in the United States and elsewhere after Russia's botched ruble devaluation rocked financial markets from New York to Tokyo. The agency had assembled billions of dollars in rescue loans but appeared powerless to halt the spread of currency troubles that began in Thailand in July 1997. IMF critics also complained of excessive secrecy and a one-size-fits-all mentality toward economic recovery programs. Even with improvements in the overall economy, the IMF has been embarrassed again in recent days. Russia, the recipient of more IMF assistance than any other nation, is alleged to be involved in financial corruption, including bribery and massive money laundering through a New York bank. On Friday, the IMF announced it was suspending a $12 billion Indonesian loan program, citing a banking scandal and the government's conduct in East Timor. Also last week, the Netherlands government leaked a memo indicating that opposition from members of Congress representing gold-mining states had brought the IMF close to abandoning efforts to sell gold directly to the public. The sales would finance debt relief for poor countries. IMF officials insisted they were near agreement on a deal to use gold but avoid direct sales to the public, which the mining industry feared would depress already weak gold prices. The IMF annual report said it has acted numerous times in the past year to reduce secrecy surrounding its deliberations and force member countries to provide investors with more timely and accurate information about economic conditions. For the first time, the agency began seeking permission of member countries to post on the IMF's World Wide Web site results of annual IMF reviews of individual countries' economic performances. The IMF also began publishing the exact economic reforms that countries agree to implement in exchange for loans. ``We have come a very long way on transparency in just a few years,'' Fischer told reporters at a briefing on the annual report. The IMF said it had made less progress in restructuring the global financial system to reduce the likelihood of future crises. Still, the agency said nations were moving ahead with proposals to adopt standards of good conduct in banking and other areas. It conceded a lack of agreement on ways to ensure that IMF rescue loans not be used to bail out private investors who made risky bets in emerging markets. In one way, the IMF, which is having its annual meeting this month, is in far better shape financially to deal with the next crisis: Its members approved an increase in resources, which the report said stood at $76.6 billion in uncommitted reserves on April 30. That is more than double the level of a year earlier. But outstanding loans to troubled countries are up, to a record $90.8 billion at the end of April, or 20 percent higher than 12 months earlier. The Clinton administration won approval after a long struggle for an increase of $18 billion in U.S. support to the IMF. But Congress imposed numerous conditions aimed at pushing the agency to move more quickly toward changes in its operations. AP-NY-09-12-99 1819EDT Copyright 1999 The Associated Press.

[CTRL] Ex-Senator John Danforth- Mr. Clean
-Caveat Lector- THE REVIEW LIST Things that John Danforth, Clarence Thomas, and Ralston Purina have in common -- DANFORTH hired THOMAS out of law school as an assistant attorney general in Missouri. -- DANFORTH brought THOMAS to Washington as a legislative assistant when elected to the Senate. -- DANFORTH helped THOMAS get appointed to the Reagan transition team, the Department of Education, and the EEOC. -- DANFORTH helped THOMAS get appointed to the US Court of Appeals, calling him my "personal friend." -- DANFORTH played a crucial role in getting THOMAS appointed to the Supreme Court. -- DANFORTH, during the time in question, owned RALSTON PURINA stock worth more than $7.5 million. -- Two brothers of DANFORTH were on the board of directors of RALSTON PURINA -- One brother of DANFORTH was a member of the board of trustees of Washington University, which had large holdings in RALSTON PURINA. -- Alpo and RALSTON PURINA were sued on charges of false advertising. -- US District Judge Stanley Sporkin fond both companies in the wrong, but found that RALSTON PURINA alone had acted willfully in having "perpetrated a cruel hoax" on dog owners in its claims that it dog food could cure a serious ailment. He assessed a $10 million fine against RALSTON PURINA. -- A few weeks after being confirmed, THOMAS heard the RALSTON PURINA appeal. He wrote an opinion for the court overturning the $10 million fine against RALSTON PURINA. -- This was good news for his friend DANFORTH and his $7.5 million in RALSTON PURINA stock, but appears to be a clear violation of 28 USC 455 which requires a federal judge to disqualify himself in proceedings in which the judge's impartiality "might" reasonably be questioned. [This information appeared in the August 24, 1991, edition of Legal Times in an article by Monroe Freedman, professor of legal ethics at Hofstra University Law School. Freedman wrote that "Thomas showed no regard for his ethical obligations as a judge and no respect for the statutory mandate that he recuse himself. On both counts, Thomas is unfit to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States." The media, more interested in stray hairs on Coke cans, ignored the story.] DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] The Next Airline Crash?
-Caveat Lector- NTSB Wary of Boeing 737 Rudders SEATTLE - Efforts to fix rudder problems in the Boeing 737, the world's most common jetliner, have not eliminated malfunctions that ''could be catastrophic,'' the National Transportation Safety Board concluded. In a report released in July, the board detailed its investigation into the 1991 crash of United Airlines Flight 585 in 1991 in Colorado Springs, Colo., and the crash of USAir Flight 427 near Pittsburgh in 1994. All 157 people on the two 737s died. The 737 is the only commercial jet with a rudder controlled by a single hydraulic valve. Other jets have multiple valves that can compensate for each other if one jams. The single valve has shown a tendency to jam, causing rogue deflections of the sort that apparently affected a Metrojet flight in February, officials said. The crew reported that the rudder pedal appeared to move without being touched, at one point causing the 737-200 to turn to the right. The crew managed to land safely, partly by shutting down the plane's main hydraulic system. Had the rudder remained jammed, the plane could have rolled into a high-speed dive. The NTSB report lists 112 such ''rudder events'' on Boeing 737 flights in the past two decades. ''The 737 series airplanes ... remain susceptible to rudder system malfunctions that could be catastrophic,'' the 346-page report said. Redesigning the rudder - the largest moving part of the jet - could cost Boeing hundreds of millions of dollars and cause uncounted airline disruptions for airplane modifications. There are 3,111 Boeing 737s in use worldwide, as many as 800 in the air at any given time. Boeing and Federal Aviation Administration officials say an upgraded rudder valve installed over the past two years on all 737s registered in the United States and many registered abroad have made a safe jet even safer. The 737 crashes on average less than two times per million departures, a record Boeing officials say rivals that of any other commercial jet. In March, the safety board requested that the FAA convene a panel to consider further rudder changes. ''We await (the panel's) findings and recommendations of what, if anything, can be done to improve the rudder system,'' Boeing spokesman Russ Young said. It's not known whether rudder problems contributed to the crash of a 737 in Argentina on Aug. 31 or of another in Turkey in April. Flight data tapes from those planes and 737s that went down in Indonesia in 1997 and Peru in 1998 have not been recovered. Problems with the rudder system were reported three decades ago. Engineers at Bertea Corp., which contracted with Boeing in the late 1960s to mass-produce the 737's rudder valve in Irvine, Calif., obtained patents in 1969 and 1982 on devices to correct the jamming problem but found no buyers. ''One failure ... occurs when the valve becomes stuck or jammed,'' the 1969 patent cautions. ''This may be the result of contaminants ... warpage, thermal expansion or contraction of the elements of (the valve) or numerous other reasons.''

[CTRL] Woman says plane vapors make her sick
-Caveat Lector- From http://flash.oregonlive.com/cgi-bin/or_nview.pl?/home1/wire/AP/Stream-Parsed /OREGON_NEWS/o1040_AM_ID--AircraftVapors - Woman says plane vapors make her sick The Associated Press 09/12/99 7:31 PM Eastern COEUR d'ALENE, Idaho (AP) -- Meg Anderson believes that plumes from the back of jet airplanes are making her sick. The plumes are called "contrails" -- short for condensation trails -- and some people believe they cause flu-like symptoms and worse. Most officials dismiss the claims. A worldwide network of people connected by the Internet insist the trails come from military planes on covert sorties. The truth is up there, depending on which of a growing number of Internet sites you dial up, or what night you tune in to nighttime talk radio's conspiracy king, Art Bell. On one particularly "heavy spray day" over Plummer in June, Anderson said she watched particulate matter fall out of the clouds, "like the black stuff in a diesel truck stopped at an intersection. "I experienced a numb mouth and burning sinuses -- in an area that is generally pollution free," she said. Military and most government officials scoff at the contrail conspiracy theory. "The Air Force doesn't do anything that emits anything other than a normal contrail, which is vapor," said Margaret Gidding, a U.S. Air Force spokeswoman at the Pentagon. Most people have seen the puffy white contrails from commercial jets, frozen water particles released by combustion into the frigid climes of the upper atmosphere. The trails disappear quickly. But the contrails in question are said to be much wider than usual and stick around for hours, filling the sky with tic-tac-toe patterns. Contrail watchdogs use Oakville, Wash., as a poster child. As chronicled by the TV show "Unsolved Mysteries," in 1994 a rain of gelatinous goo fell from the sky onto the small town. Tests revealed a combination of white blood cells, two strains of bacteria and bits of coral reef, according to a transcript of the television show. Most of the theories link contrails to military planes, often white, unmarked planes flying below the 18,000-foot altitude where the vapor trails normally start forming. This year, Air Force headquarters started getting monthly calls on the issue, many of them from Washington state, Gidding said. She thinks the sudden interest stems from publicity on the Internet. "It's challenging because I empathize with people when they're ill and looking for the cause," she says. "But the Air Force is just not what's causing it." Forecasters say contrails are a meteorological phenomenon caused when water from jet engine exhaust freezes fast without evaporating, typically below -38 degrees Celsius. Most contrails break up quickly, but sometimes upper level winds can spread the trails apart, forming a large sheet cloud that lingers. People who associate health problems with the trails describe strange X-shaped clouds -- said to aid satellite location of spraying operations -- and checkerboards not produced by commercial jets on parallel flight patterns. A Kootenai County resident who gave his name as "George" on a popular contrails Web site in June reported black particles similar to those Meg Anderson had reported. "By the time it was dark, my nose lining was burning and my mouth was numb. I had a sore throat at bedtime and next morning sore glands in my neck and fatigue." Dr. Leonard Horowitz, an anti-immunization crusader who lives in Sandpoint, suspects chemtrails in a nationwide outbreak of upper respiratory infections last winter that didn't respond to antibiotic treatment. But "it's virtually impossible to link it definitively," Horowitz acknowledges. Health officials in Idaho and Washington say they've received no reports from concerned citizens of contrail-linked illnesses. "We're hooked up to Hanford to see if anything happens there," says Renee Guillierie, a spokeswoman for the Washington Department of Health. "That's about as weird as we get." Questions? Comments?

[CTRL] Glowing monkeys to fight genetic disorder
-Caveat Lector- From The Sunday Times, http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/Sunday-Times/stiinnnws01004.html?99 9 - September 12 1999 INNOVATION Health Monkeys that 'glow' could help fight genetic disorders FLUORESCENT monkeys could hold the key to future research into genetic diseases, writes Mark Prigg. Researchers hope to splice the gene that makes jellyfish glow into a monkey embryo. If successful, it will be the first time a gene has been spliced into the embryo of another species. It is hoped the research will give scientists a greater understanding of genetic mutations. The team from the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center has tested several techniques. It has already managed to make embryos composed of a few dozen cells glow and now hopes to create baby monkeys that glow when placed under ultraviolet light. The team chose the jellyfish gene because it is easy to use and has already been successfully placed into mice. According to Anthony Chan, a researcher at the centre, some embryos fertilised with monkey sperm carrying the jellyfish gene have now been transferred into the wombs of surrogate rhesus monkeys. He says: "Rhesus monkeys make a great model for human disease and we have no qualms at all about this research - the reasons for doing it are sound and will give us our best shot at curing genetic disease." Researchers are using monkeys because they are genetically much closer to humans than, say, mice, which are used to test new drugs. Mice often respond to genetic mutations in different ways from primates. By introducing human-disease genes into monkey embryos, the team hopes to test new drugs on the rhesus monkeys, which react to disease in a similar way to humans. The centre is keeping the exact number of monkeys used and the expected delivery dates secret in case of attacks from animal-rights activists. They have been demonstrating weekly at the centre in an attempt to stop several other monkey-cloning experiments. A laboratory spokeswoman says the monkey mothers are doing well and are expected to give birth in November. "The results of the experiment won't be known for some time after the birth," she says. "With this kind of genetic experiment we want to wait and see how the babies grow up before jumping to conclusions. One of the advantages of using the jellyfish gene is that we will get an instant result - the babies will glow from the moment they are born. "However, how long they will survive and how they will develop are our main questions, assuming they do glow. This is the first time this has been tried anywhere in the world, so we just don't know what will happen. "We are also very aware of the moral and political ramifications of the work, so before we release the results we need to take everything into account. But if it works this is undoubtedly going to be the best way to study genetic disease in humans." -- Dan S DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] Jim Keith - Secret and Suppressed: Banned Ideas and Hidden History
-Caveat Lector- Hi ! I heard Jim Keith died a few days ago. I wanted to post this article I previously published in an issue of my newsletter. Sincerely, Neil Brick From SMART Issue #7 http://members.aol.com/SMARTNEWS/Sample-Issue-07.htm This was written by a subscriber. Please use caution while reading this article. It may be triggering for survivors. Secret and Suppressed: Banned Ideas and Hidden History, edited by Jim Keith, 1993 Feral House, Box 3466, Portland, OR 97208 , $12.95 In his preface to Secret and Suppressed, Jim Keith states that "the people who direct and control the world's financial resources are, to a very large extent, the same people who control and direct the world's media." Secret and Suppressed is a guidebook to alternative views of contemporary events and world history... (which) confronts the reader with disquieting revelations on mind control, secret societies, media disinformation, cults and elite cabals. The hard evidence supplied by many of the articles is startling." About half of the articles in this anthology expose Masonic activity, how it has shaped society in the past and its influence in our lives today. In his article "Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science of Political Control," James Shelby Downard writes, "For years I have been trying to draw attention to Masonic sorcery and its (alleged) relation to political control." He states that "Benjamin . was initiated into Freemasonry at St. John's Lodge in Philadelphia and ... is credited with publishing the first Masonic book in America." He identifies the "House of the Rising Sun," a Masonic meeting place for powerful political figures such as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and George Mason, located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which as the earliest known record of the Masonic Royal Arch Degree of York, listed in the city annals on December 22, 1753. He discusses the roots of the anti-mason political party that challenged Freemason Andrew Jackson for the presidency in 1826, and the murder of the Mormon prophet which resulted in the men of the Mormon church withdrawing from Freemasonry. (S.M.A.R.T. note: For more information on the Mormons and their connection to the Masons, see Issue #6) He delves deeply into the JFK assassination which he believes is suffused with Masonic symbolism having to do with violence, perversion, conspiracy, death and degradation (specifically, Masonic Greening Rituals). "Masonry does not (allegedly) believe in murdering a man in just any old way and in the JFK assassination, it went to incredible lengths and took great risks to make this heinous act correspond to the ancient fertility oblation of The Killing of the King." He identifies the three hoboes arrested at the time of the assassination as "at least as important symbolically as operationally, and they compromise the 'three unworthy craftsmen' of Masonry... and a mirror or doppelganger of the three assassins who executed the actual murder." He notes that Dealy Plaza is the site of the First Masonic Temple in Dallas and home of the Blue Front Tavern, a Masonic hangout, and that important security strategy was planned for Dealy Plaza by the New Orleans CIA station which was headquartered in a Masonic temple building. He points out that Mason Lyndon Johnson appointed Mason Earl Warren to investigate the death of Catholic President John Kennedy; 33rd degree Mason Gerald Ford was instrumental in suppressing what little evidence of a conspiratorial nature reached the Commission; 33rd degree Mason J. Edgar Hoover was responsible for supplying information to the commission; and former CIA Director and 33rd degree Mason Allen Dulles was responsible for most of his agency's data to the panel. And he asks, "Would it be paranoid to suspect a panel of Nazis appointed to investigate the death of a Jew, or to suspect a commission of Klansmen appointed to investigate the death of a Negro?" In his article "Subliminal Images in Oliver Stone's 'JFK' " which follows, Dean Grace identifies Downard's Three Craftsmen; "A man in a dark suit passes three hoboes being taken into custody by police. There is a hint that the hoboes give a secret hand sign.. later.. .A man in a dark suit passes by the three tramps and gives a secret hand sign for the tramps' benefit. "Also (while) patrolman Smith is testifying on the witness stand... a tall young man wearing a dark suit... turns toward the camera and clearly gives a Masonic sign of distress... holds the palm of the left hand up and crosses it with the right hand pain down.. .at waist level.. twelve inches from the body. This is the sign of distress in the Entered Apprentice, first degree of Masonry." In his article "The Masonic Ripper," Jim Keith notes that elements brought forth by Stephen Knight in Jack the Ripper, the Final Solution suggest that the Ripper slayings may not have been the work of a lone madman but possibly the commission of a

WASHINGTON, DC -- A new study has discovered that teenagers who watch anti-drug TV commercials become more "curious" about illegal drugs. So why, the Libertarian Party asked today, are taxpayers being forced to pay for those ads? "According to this study, the government is spending $195 million a year of our money to tantalize teenagers about illegal drugs," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "Shouldn't Americans have a choice about whether we want to fund what is essentially a 'Just Do It' advertising campaign for drugs?" In a study released earlier this year, two researchers found that teenagers who viewed anti-drug Public Service Announcements (PSAs) "were more curious about using illicit drugs" than participants who didn't see the PSAs.

"The group is disappointed that most of the characters are white males, who are gay in name only and have only minor, recurring roles usually as the butt of jokes, or to provide comic relief," reported the Conservative News Service on August 24th. "The only gay lead on prime-time television is the character Will Truman of NBCs Will Grace." "If Will Truman doesnt have a date on Will Grace this season, then the network has failed to realistically deliver that sitcoms premise of the life of a gay man," complained GLAAD spokesman Scott Seomin. "With over 540 lead or supporting characters on prime time this fall, the gay community encompasses less than 2 percent of the total portrayals." Accepting for the purpose of discussion the curious notion that prime-time television is intended to offer a "realistic" portrayal of society, it should be noted that homosexuals constitute something less than 2 percent of the population, meaning that the networks have gotten the numbers about right. However, a realistic portrayal of "gay" life would require immersion in its pathologies disease, violence, relentless promiscuity, and premature death. What GLAAD seeks is a glamorized, politically useful portrayal of homosexuality, and Hollywood will no doubt seek to placate the sodomite pressure group. http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1999/09-27-99/vo15no20_insider.htm THE NEW AMERICAN (An Affiliated Publication of the John Birch Society) http://www.thenewamerican.com/ The John Birch Society http://www.jbs.org/ Since 1958, members of The John Birch Society have led the movement to restore and preserve freedom under the U.S. Constitution.

Re: [CTRL] Fwd: IMF Finds Signs of Global Recovery
-Caveat Lector- Oh yeah we can really trust these guys Carl Amedio wrote: In a message dated 9/12/99 5:20:22 PM Central Daylight Time, AOL News writes: Subj:IMF Finds Signs of Global Recovery Date: 9/12/99 5:20:22 PM Central Daylight Time From: AOL News BCC: Ahab42 IMF Finds Signs of Global Recovery .c The Associated Press By MARTIN CRUTSINGER WASHINGTON (AP) - The global economy finally is showing signs of an upturn after struggling for more than two years with a virulent financial crisis, the International Monetary Fund said Sunday. The 182-nation lending organization said in its annual report that threats of economic troubles spreading have lessened considerably since last fall, when the collapse of the Russian ruble was felt around the world. ``This year the worst of the crisis seems well behind us,'' said the IMF's deputy managing director, Stanley Fischer. ``Most of the Asian crisis countries are recovering fast. ... Brazil's IMF-supported adjustment program is succeeding, and growth has been more rapid than expected. And the Russian economy too is doing better than expected.'' The IMF used the report to defend its handling of the currency crisis. In August 1998, it looked as if the crisis could drag down economies in the United States and elsewhere after Russia's botched ruble devaluation rocked financial markets from New York to Tokyo. The agency had assembled billions of dollars in rescue loans but appeared powerless to halt the spread of currency troubles that began in Thailand in July 1997. IMF critics also complained of excessive secrecy and a one-size-fits-all mentality toward economic recovery programs. Even with improvements in the overall economy, the IMF has been embarrassed again in recent days. Russia, the recipient of more IMF assistance than any other nation, is alleged to be involved in financial corruption, including bribery and massive money laundering through a New York bank. On Friday, the IMF announced it was suspending a $12 billion Indonesian loan program, citing a banking scandal and the government's conduct in East Timor. Also last week, the Netherlands government leaked a memo indicating that opposition from members of Congress representing gold-mining states had brought the IMF close to abandoning efforts to sell gold directly to the public. The sales would finance debt relief for poor countries. IMF officials insisted they were near agreement on a deal to use gold but avoid direct sales to the public, which the mining industry feared would depress already weak gold prices. The IMF annual report said it has acted numerous times in the past year to reduce secrecy surrounding its deliberations and force member countries to provide investors with more timely and accurate information about economic conditions. For the first time, the agency began seeking permission of member countries to post on the IMF's World Wide Web site results of annual IMF reviews of individual countries' economic performances. The IMF also began publishing the exact economic reforms that countries agree to implement in exchange for loans. ``We have come a very long way on transparency in just a few years,'' Fischer told reporters at a briefing on the annual report. The IMF said it had made less progress in restructuring the global financial system to reduce the likelihood of future crises. Still, the agency said nations were moving ahead with proposals to adopt standards of good conduct in banking and other areas. It conceded a lack of agreement on ways to ensure that IMF rescue loans not be used to bail out private investors who made risky bets in emerging markets. In one way, the IMF, which is having its annual meeting this month, is in far better shape financially to deal with the next crisis: Its members approved an increase in resources, which the report said stood at $76.6 billion in uncommitted reserves on April 30. That is more than double the level of a year earlier. But outstanding loans to troubled countries are up, to a record $90.8 billion at the end of April, or 20 percent higher than 12 months earlier. The Clinton administration won approval after a long struggle for an increase of $18 billion in U.S. support to the IMF. But Congress imposed numerous conditions aimed at pushing the agency to move more quickly toward changes in its operations. AP-NY-09-12-99 1819EDT Copyright 1999 The Associated Press.

-Caveat Lector- Is this on a web site?? It is good and information that opens up your eyes! Pied Piper M.A. Johnson wrote: -Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ The Rich Get Richer, and the Poor Get... by Mark Skousen "The modern market economy accords wealth and distribution income in a highly unequal, socially adverse and also functionally damaging fashion." --John Kenneth Galbraith The allegation is appearing everywhere: Real average wages are stagnating and the distribution of wealth and income in the United States is becoming more unequal. In his latest book, Galbraith cites recent Federal Reserve statistics: "By 1992, the top 5 percent were getting an estimated 18 percent, a share that in more recent years has become substantially larger, as that of those in the poorest brackets has been diminishing. This, the good society cannot accept.'' According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, average real wages have been declining since the mid-1970s. If benefits are included, total real compensation has been rising, but only modestly. Finally, Business Week (February 25, 1996) declared, "Is America Becoming More of a Class Society?'' The magazine cites several academic studies indicating less upward mobility for less-educated Americans. The Wall Street Journal (December 23, 1996) adds, "Inequality may grow for lifetime earnings." Critics of market capitalism are often misled by conventional measures of economic well-being, in particular the Lorenz curve, which measures income distribution. The Lorenz curve measures the percentage of a nation's total income as earned by various income classes. Typically, it is divided into five income groups. In the United States, the highest fifth (the highest income earners) usually receive 40 percent of the nation's income, while the lowest fifth (the lowest income earners) receive around 5 percent, Using the Lorenz curve, U.S. income appears to be seriously maldistributed, "now the extreme case among the major industrial countries," says Galbraith. However, the Lorenz curve establishes an unfair and misleading guide for measuring social welfare. Suppose, for example, that an "ideal" line of "perfect" equality is achieved on the Lorenz curve, i.e., the highest fifth (top 20 percent of income earners) only receive 20 percent of the nation's income, while the bottom fifth (lower 20 percent) increase their share to 20 percent. What does this ideal mean? Everyone -- the teacher, the lawyer, the plumber, the actor -- earns the same amount of income. (1) Since few economists think equal wages for everyone is an ideal situation, why do they think moving toward "perfect equality" on the Lorenz curve is appropriate? Moreover, the Lorenz curve is unable to show an increase in a country's standard of living over time. It merely measures distribution of income. To measure changes in social welfare, economists often rely on a second measure-average real income. This, too, has its shortcomings. A single statistic may mask improvements in an individual's standard of living over time. For example, average real income shows hardly any change since the mid-1970s. Yet other measures of well-being, such as consumer expenditures and the quantity, quality, and variety of goods and services, show remarkable advancement over the past 20 years. Consumer spending rose a dramatic 40 percent per person in real terms during this period. As Professor Richard Vedder says, "How many Americans in 1975 had VCRs, microwaves, CD players, and home computers?" (2) The Work of Stanley Lebergott Stanley Lebergott, professor of economics at Wesleyan University, has probably done more work in this area than anyone else. Instead of relying on general measures such as average real income, he uses a more commonsense approach -- looking at individual consumer markets in food, clothing, housing, fuel, housework, transportation, health, recreation, and religion. His work is fascinating. For example, he developed the following table to measure improvements in living standards from 1900 to 1970: Living Standards, 1900-1970 Among AllAmong Poor Percentage Families Families with ...in 1900 in 1970 Flush toilets 1599 Running water 2492 Central heating 0158 One (or fewer) occupants per room4896 Electricity 0399 Refrigeration 1899 Automobiles 0141 Source: Stanley Lebergott, The American Economy (Princeton University Press, 1976), p. 8.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.newtimesla.com/issues/1999-09-09/feature_p.html New Times Los Angeles - News Features Front Page - September 9 - 15, 1999 Scientology's Revenge For years, the Cult Awareness Network was the Church of Scientology's biggest enemy. But the late L. Ron Hubbard's L.A.-based religion cured that -- by taking it over By Ron Russell It was an idea whose time had come. That's how Priscilla Coates describes the humble beginnings of the Cult Awareness Network, founded two decades ago in the wake of the murders and mass suicides in Guyana that claimed the lives of hundreds of the late Jim Jones' followers. The concept was simple enough: set up a nonprofit, national organization to assist the often desperate loved ones of people caught up in the ever-proliferating cult scene. On paper, at least, the group known by the acronym CAN endures. But nearly a quarter-century later, neither Coates, who ran the Los Angeles chapter during the organization's heyday, nor anyone else who once helped nurture the network has anything to do with it. That's because whenever people call CAN's hotline these days, more likely than not someone from the Church of Scientology answers the phone. Instead of warning people about suspected cults, opponents say, the new group promotes them. As one Scientology critic puts it, "It's like Operation Rescue taking over Planned Parenthood." The story of how the controversial L.A.-based church -- which Time magazine once termed "the cult of greed" -- commandeered the anti-cult group that was its nemesis is as bizarre as some of late church founder L. Ron Hubbard's science fiction. It is also a cautionary tale for anyone who goes up against Scientology, with its penchant for harassing enemies in the courts, and its rough-and-tumble reputation for retaliating against "suppressives," those deemed as having ridiculed Scientology's teachings. Those teachings include Hubbard's decree that humans are made of clusters of spirits, called "thetans," who were banished to Earth about 75 million years ago by an evil galactic ruler named Xenu. A pulp fiction writer who had served a troubled stint in the Navy, Hubbard hit it big in 1950 by coming up with the concept of Dianetics, which he dubbed a modern science of mental health. It remains at the core of Scientology practice. One of its staples is a simplified lie detector called an E-meter, which is supposed to measure electrical changes in the skin while subjects discuss intimate details of their lives. Hubbard claimed that unhappiness sprang from mental aberrations, called "engrams," and that counseling sessions with the E-meter could help get rid of them. Scientologists refer to the extensive (and expensive) process of "clearing" the mind in order for this to occur as "auditing." But during the 1970s, the Internal Revenue Service conducted some auditing sessions of its own and accused Hubbard of skimming millions of dollars from the church, laundering it through dummy corporations, and stashing it in Swiss bank accounts. And although he died before the case was adjudicated, his wife and 10 other former church leaders went to prison in the early 1980s for infiltrating, burglarizing, and wiretapping dozens of private and government agencies in an attempt to block their investigations. With its sprawling headquarters on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, the church has assembled a star-studded roster of followers that includes actors John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and Kirstie Alley; jazz musician Chick Corea; and soul singer Isaac Hayes. To help shed its fringe-group image, it has retained public relations powerhouse Hill and Knowlton, runs a plethora of ads on television and in top-drawer news and business journals, and recruits academics and other professionals through a network of consultants whose ties to the church are typically hidden. Its members also include high-profile media types. Greta Van Susteren, the CNN legal correspondent, and her husband, influential Washington Beltway attorney John Coale, are Scientologists. They even played a minor role in Scientology's assault on the Cult Awareness Network by representing an Ohio woman who sued a cult-deprogramming organization named Wellspring, whose executive director also sat on the CAN board. In hindsight, officials of the former CAN -- whose alleged involvement with kidnapping and deprogramming individuals from suspected cults created its own controversy -- say they should have seen Scientology's assault coming. Especially after an L.A. lawyer prominent in Scientology attached himself to a civil lawsuit against CAN in suburban Seattle several years ago. No one could have imagined that the suit, brought on behalf of a young man named Jason Scott -- who had been kidnapped and deprogrammed from an evangelical Christian sect -- would produce judgments totaling $5.2 million and

Herb Brin, a leading backer of the ADL and publisher of Heritage, a newspaper which serves the Jewish community in Los Angeles, has let the cat out of the bag. In a signed headline story which appeared in the Arpil 16 edition of his newspaper, Brin inadvertently exposed the role that the ADL played in helping engineer the BATF/FBI/DELTA FORCE/BRITISH SAS slaughter at the Branch Davidian church in Waco. In an article hailing the ADL's now-infamous, once-secret international spy network, Brin stated: "U.S. and Texas authorities have precise documentation (from ADL of course) on the Branch Davidian cult in Waco and how it operated in the past." Brin's amazing revelation (ostensibly designed to praise the ADL's activities) brings to light the truth about the propaganda and disinformation about the beleagured religious sect. In short, it was the ADL that essentially tricked the federal authorities into conducting the operation that resulted in the tragedy. What's more, the SPOTLIGHT has learned the so-called Cult Awareness Network (CAN) which also prodded the assault on the Branch Davidians is closely connected to the ADL. (Some sources, in fact, believe that CAN is, in fact, an ADL-funded front operation. There is no question, however, that CAN does operate as such.) In any case, the American public owes a great debt to Herb Brin, an admitted ADL informant himself. Thanks to Brin the truth about the ADL's intervention [at the outset BEFORE the raid]] in the Branch Davidian affair is now part of the public record. A final note: in the same article where he bragged of the ADL's campaign against the religious sect, Brin noted that, as a consequence of the ADL's involvement in the San Francisco scandal, Liberty Lobby was in what he called its "finest hour." [ADL was caught in a massive spying scandal using SF POLICE files] [Liberty Lobby, parent of the SPOTLIGHT newspaper, exposed this scandal, as did all mainstream papers.] The ADL is certainly not in its finest hour, this especially since more than a few people have suggested that the very reason why David Koresh and the Branch Davidian sect were subjected to the fiery holocaust that brought the standoff in Waco to an end is because the ADL did not want the Branch Davidians to come out alive. Had Koresh and his followers gone to trial (which is very much apparently what they desired in order that they could tell their side of the story), the course of legal discovery would have revealed the way that the ADL had been prodding action by the FBI and the BATF. This would have exposed the ADL's criminal methods and its covert spy operations even further at a time when the outfit is already under fire. Thus it was necessary that the Branch Davidians be exterminated. A lucky few did survive which means that, ultimately, the truth may come out.

[CTRL] WACO: CAN and ADL
-Caveat Lector- extracted from: http://www.shadeslanding.com/firearms/waco.massacre.html THE MASSACRE OF THE BRANCH DAVIDIANS A STUDY OF GOVERNMENT VIOLATIONS OF RIGHTS, EXCESSIVE FORCE AND COVER UP By Carol Moore, (c) 1994 [1] January 28, 1994 GOVERNMENT RELIANCE ON "PRIVATE SPIES" AND "CULT BUSTERS" Because of government spying upon and disruption of peaceful political groups during the 1960s and 1970s, the Justice Department set guidelines prohibiting investigations of groups "based solely on activities protected by the First Amendment or on the lawful exercise of any other rights secured by the constitution or laws of the United States." [20] As an agency of the Treasury Department, BATF does not work under such restrictions. Both agencies are free to investigate groups suspected of engaging in criminal activity. Once an investigation is underway, most government agencies, including BATF and the FBI, seem willing to receive information from such groups as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL) and the Cult Awareness Network (CAN). These groups, and others like them, clearly have their own agendas. They keep copious files of biased and prejudicial information on private individuals and organizations and share these with law enforcement. The Anti-Defamation League keeps files on Arab- American, Jewish peace, anti-apartheid, and other human and civil rights groups. A year-long investigation by the San Francisco District Attorney found that the ADL had infiltrated groups, stolen membership lists and other private documents, and swapped files with police, sometimes illegally. However, the ADL escaped prosecution. "In an unusual procedure, (District Attorney) Smith filed a civil suit accusing the ADL and (ADL investigator) Bullock of illegally possessing confidential documents, then promptly accepted a settlement that contained no admission of wrongdoing." Shortly after this, 19 individuals filed a suit seeking damages for 1,100 people who allegedly were the targets of illegal surveillance and seeking court orders against such surveillance. [21] The government's lenience towards ADL suggests it does not frown on ADL's spying activities. The ADL supplied information about the Branch Davidians to federal authorities. In a front page article about the ADL, Herb Brin, publisher of Heritage, which serves the Los Angeles Jewish community, wrote: "U.S. and Texas authorities have precise documentation (from ADL, of course) on the Branch Davidian cult in Waco and how it operated in the past." [22] The Cult Awareness Network (CAN) actively urges the press, Congress and law enforcement to act against any non- mainstream religious, psychological or even political movement which it describes as a "cult." After interviewing CAN's executive director Cynthia Kisser, a reporter wrote: "No one knows how many destructive cults and sects exist in the United States. Kisser's binder holds 1,500 names gleaned from newspaper clippings, court documents and thousands of calls to the network's hotline. Some of the groups have legitimate purposes, Kisser says. But her group's efforts show that most, despite wildly diverse beliefs, share stunningly similar patterns of mind control, group domination, exploitation and physical and mental abuse." [23] CAN critics point out that so-called "mind control" techniques are not much different than the techniques used in education and socialization efforts used by all schools, churches, ideologies and philosophies. According to CAN critic Dr. Gordon Melton of the Institute for the Study of Religion in Santa Barbara, California, CAN has used a number of means to try to destroy small religious groups: they unsuccessfully tried to expand "conservatorship" to allow families to remove members from "cults"; they unsuccessfully tried to have laws passed against "cults"; they unsuccessfully sued the American Psychological Association for rejecting their views on "brainwashing." However, they have found one successful method of disrupting groups: false anonymous charges of child abuse. Anonymous reports are legal under current law. [24] Priscilla Coates, former executive director of CAN, told reporters, "I know how these types of groups work and the children are always abused." [25] CAN has been on a crusade against the Christian religious group The Children of God, known in the United States as "The Family." CAN alleges the group practices indiscriminate sex, including with children. [26] Many Family members accuse CAN of making false child abuse complaints which have resulted in dozens of arrests in at least 10 countries. Most of the charges are quickly dropped and there have been no convictions. The Family has demanded a Congressional investigation of CAN. [27] The Cult Awareness Network's other successful approach is referring relatives of group members to "deprogrammers"
