[CTRL] The Pegasus File
-Caveat Lector- David Terry wrote: THE PEGASUS FILE A former CIA deep-cover agent turns whistleblower at great risk. His shocking allegations expose powerful names controlling the international drug trade in very high places. Vietnam Special Forces Air Combat Controller; 25-year CIA deep-cover agent; US Army pilot flying classified missions during the US invasion of Grenada; Iran-Contra pilot flying cocaine shipments labelled as medical supplies; and member of the ultra-secret, international G7-run Pegasus "hit team"...this is the extraordinary story of Gene "Chip" Tatum. From sensitive, highly secretive (and hitherto largely unknown) Special Forces covert operations in Cambodia, to wandering CIA asset; through to "black ops" activities in Grenada and Oliver North's Iran-Contra "Enterprise", as well as membership in an international "hit team", Gene "Chip" Tatum has seen it all, done it all and is now telling it all. Tatum claims to know where the skeletons are buried. Above all, he is aware that his testimony implicates serving and former US Presidents plus a whole list of high-level government officials and others in a welter of nefarious activities - including assassination, blackmail, coercion, gun-running, money-laundering and cocaine-trafficking. Tatum, a lanky Floridian, turned whistleblower following his arrest on a treason charge in early 1995. The charge was both astonishing and patently ludicrous, and was later dropped and replaced by a fraud charge - a drastic step-down. Found guilty, he was sentenced to serve a 15-month sentence. In March 1996, an additional charge - conspiring to embezzle - was brought against him. Found guilty, he was incarcerated in Jesup Federal Correctional Facility, Georgia, where he is serving a 27-month concurrent sentence. Ensuing press interest resulted in one article appearing in the Tampa Tribune on 4 May 1996. Many questions continue to hang over the conduct of the trial. His defence lawyer refused to call any of the 80 witnesses whom Tatum nominated for the defence. Later, his lawyer freely confessed to having come under pressure from the US Department of Defense. Tatum says the first charge was a set-up to discredit him following his "resignation" from "Operation Pegasus". The second charge he views with greater scepticism and concern. Tatum's resignation from Pegasus followed his refusal to "neutralise" a leading US political figure in the 1992 US presidential elections. Tatum declares he will not "participate in assassinations of any sort, character assassinations or anything, of American citizens". He goes on to explain that back in 1994, in a telephone conference call involving Oliver North, Felix Rodríguez and the late William Colby of the CIA, he was warned to turn over incriminating documents and tapes he had accumulated for his "retirement". He wryly observes that had he done so, he would probably have been quickly "terminated" in an "extreme" way - a speciality of the Pegasus team of which he was once a member. Countering this demand, Tatum volunteered to plead guilty on a fabricated felony count and serve a 12-month sentence - so that his credibility would be damaged in the event he ever decided to speak out. His incarceration for the second charge - and especially the six- month sentence of his wife, Nancy - led him to speak out about his life, almost 30 years of which he served as a "black" operative, and to reveal and destroy the command structure of Pegasus. It is an extraordinary story. "OPERATION RED ROCK" Tatum has written of his early career in the military, and his involvement in a highly sensitive and classified operation, in an unpublished manuscript entitled "Operation Red Rock". Joining the Air Force in February 1970, he went through Army jump school, escape and evasion training, jungle training, sea survival school and diving school and was assigned along with six others as "Combat Controllers" (the USAF equivalent of Special Forces), receiving his distinctive Special Forces burgundy-coloured beret. From there he was assigned to Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, and then on to Fort Bragg, North Carolina - home of the "Green Berets" - for training in C4 plastic explosives, mines, nuclear, biological and chemical warfare, plus indoctrination in electronic and psychological operations. Posted to South-East Asia as Airman First Class (A1C) in December 1970, he was assigned as a radio operator on a Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft attached to Task Force Alpha at Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. In short order he was recruited (an involuntary "volunteer") to "Team Red Rock". The team was composed of eight US Army Green Berets, three US Navy SEALs and two "cowboys" - a euphemism for CIA paramilitary specialists. With Tatum attached, Team Red Rock totalled 14 in all, and was about to be tasked with an operation that came directly from the White House. In January 1971
Re: [CTRL] why no cheeseburgers
-Caveat Lector- http://www.audiocentral.com/rshows/6640/archives98.html That was interesting Michael. You have been named after the warrior angel.You may like Chuck Missler who was Jewish by birth and after studying the Old Testament as a scholar found proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus was the Messiah. Not only that but he invented his own codes in the Bible without the aid of a computer even though he was one of the forerunners in the computer world. He has written a book about 500 pages on all the codes in there. Called Cosmic Codes, I'm buying it. Astronomy and religion , just love it! I get sick of people guessing the age of the universe every few months. Chuck knows everything - age of the universe, no problem. His brain is beyond belief. He just pours out wisdom like a fountain. I heard him the other day on the radio talking about the speed of light and how it actually has changed its speed between 500BC and 1980 and that its speed over the centuries goes in a wave formation. He is easy to understand but his brain goes like the speed of light analyzing the universe how it was created. I wonder if God gave him Solomons wisdom by inheritance. hmmm Now this could turn out interesting I have heard, from someone who was originally Jewish living in Israel that more than half the Orthodox Rabbis living in Israel have recognized Jesus as the Messiah and will all announce it together when they think it is the right time. Lord Rothschild is paying for the rebuilding of Solomon's temple now and they have 200 descendants of Aaron training for priests. They can tell who has Aaron's blood genetically. A Genetic Trace is Found Linking Kohanim Worldwide and more at http://www.grantjeffrey.com/intfra.htm Grant Jeffrey keeps an eye on the NWO and is very astute about what big bro is doing especially surveillance, as he used to work in banking. Grant has also written another book on yet another Bible code which a Jewish scholar discovered. I think the book is Signature of God but not sure of the exact name. But it was No 1 best seller. Both theirs and Chuck's codes are different to the famous Bible Code Book. But I have also read of yet another code too. This is getting interesting because as more and more people find codes in the Bible others find the opposite reason to discount the truth by finding old manuscripts of the time that contradict it. Its getting to be either absolutely true to the letter or totally wrong to some who perceive truth by manuscripts alone and spec as the new translations are funded by the Illuminati.Easy to read now, they say for modern man. I won't preach too much here but I think Jerusalem will be the highlight of 2,000 as they will be trying to bring about the One World Religion thru UN law. I expect the holograms will be headed in that direction. Don't know whether they still have that entity Matreiya as World Teacher, but apparently Benjamin Creme is involved with UN.They apparently channel some ET called Kyron in the religion arm of UN.

[CTRL] Kyron at UN

Bit of advice for us humans - Says it should take about 90 days to get used to your implants. Oh boy : ( http://kryon.org/pastpost.htm Nicky Re: Who is Robert Petro? (Sedona psychic) At: http://www.ufomind.com/misc/1997/dec/d22-002.shtml * Glenn Campbell Writes: This psychic's autobiography ought to raise some flags I just knew you were going to say that. (And yes, I know that you knew that I was going to say that...) I've never heard of Mr Petro either, but I can shed some light on... On his main page it says, "Robert Petro was awarded the peace medal by the United Nations Parapsychology Society." Funny that I have never heard of that society. I didn't know the U.N. was into that sort of thing. A metacrawler search for "United Nations Parapsychology Society" turns up nothing. The "United Nations Parapsychology Society" changed its name in 1993 to the "Society for Enlightenment and Transformation - S.E.A.T." According to a letter I received from Mr Mohammad A. Ramadan, the President of "S.E.A.T." in 1993, their objectives are "to research and stimulate interest in the processes of human transformation now taking place worldwide." To this end, the Parapsychology Society/S.E.A.T. organized several after-hours get-togethers for U.N. employees and like-minded members of the public in U.N. conference rooms. S.E.A.T. was overseen by the UNSRC, the United Nations Staff Recreation Council, as were all other staff-based activities of the U.N. The topics and invited speakers were many and varied: "Developing Your Five Unknown Senses," (Nancy Anne Clark, M.T.C.),;"Children of Star Women" (Parisha); "The New Image of Man: A Look at Paranormal Strategies (Dr James Hurtak), channelled "Kryon's Special Message to the United Nations" (Lee Carroll); "Second Symposium on Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Human Future," and so on. While most of the people invited to speak at these functions were aware that the society was purely an after-hours pursuit of U.N. staffers, others took great advantage of being invited to speak "at the U.N." Crop circle promoter Colin Andrews issued a press release announcing his lecture "to the United Nations" about the "mysterious" circles, and even made headlines in the local paper back home with news that he had been tasked by the U.N. to investigate the crop circles on its behalf. I suspect this was news to the Secretary-General. The UN Parapsychology Society/S.E.A.T., has as much of an impact on U.N. policy-making as the MicroSoft film society has on Bill Gates' choice of home decor. [...] The seminar covers: "Astral Projection, Astrology, Numerology, Healing, Tarot, Auras and Color, Pendulum and Divining Rods, Dreams , Channeling, Meditation and Self Hypnosis, Rings and Fingers, Palmistry, Marketing." What? No predicting winning lotto numbers? Petro gives another seminar on Shamanism at similar cost.

More thanforty were injured before the gunman took his own life. As of today, eightare dead and several others remain in hospitals in various conditions. Twoof the dead were Seminary students, one was a recent graduate. Others wereour friends and fellow church members.My wife, Joanne, heard someone shouting, I've been shot! This is no joke!I've been shot! She walked out of the Fellowship Hall, where the adultswere having Prayer Meeting, and saw Kevin Galey, our church Counselorlaying on the floor, being attended too by other church members. His shirtwas covered with blood. Twenty years ago, when I was Baptist StudentMinistries Director at the University of Texas, Kevin was on my StudentLeadership Council. He used to baby sit with our children. Wanting tostop and help, Joanne also knew that our seven-year old granddaughter wasin GAs in another part of the building. She ran, passing other wounded, towhere Whitney and other girls were participating in their children'sactivity. As the first to arrive there with the news, Joanne helped getthe children safely out of the building and across the street to anelementary school. Later I would spend several hours at that elementaryschool ministering to Seminary students and friends.Our phone rang into the wee hours of Thursday morning and has continued asfriends from near and far call to see if we are OK, to assure us of theirprayers and to get information. Thursday morning my office e-mail wasfilled with correspondence from around the world as former students pickedup pieces of the news over the internet. Yesterday's Seminary chapelservice was long and emotional. Classes were turned into group counselingsessions. Everywhere I went, someone wanted to talk about the shooting. Reporters were every where competing for quotes. CBS news even called ourhome phone number to get a quote. Today has been much of the same. Tomorrow, we will attend three funeral services. Sunday, I will sit asidemy planned sermon and try to offer biblical answers to the questions of thepeople who attend the church where I serve as Interim Pastor.How can you pray for us? Many have asked. Please know in advance that yourprayer support is and will be greatly appreciated.1. Pray for Joanne. She is still processing all of the events and today isemotionally drained and physically tired. Today's Fort Worth had a diagramof where each shooting actually happened and Joanne realized for the firsttime how near she was to some of those who were killed.2. Pray for our granddaughter, Whitney. She saw far too much blood andchaos. She doesn't want to go to school because they prayed at theflagpole and people got shot in the same day. She doesn't want to go tochurch because she is afraid there are dead bodies there as well as akiller who will try to kill people. Also, pray for our daughter Danna asshe tries to minister to her daughter, Whitney.3. Pray for me as I try to find satisfactory answers to difficult questionsI'm being asked. I have tried to give strength and encouragement to somany people and now I find need for the same thing. Who helps hurtingSamaritans?4. Pray for our friend and Pastor Dr. Al Meridith.

Al-Fayed said Henri Paul, the driver of the car in which the couple died in Paris two years ago, had acted on the orders of Britain's MI5 and MI6 security agencies and the French intelligence service. "He drove into the tunnel under the instructions of MI6 and MI5 and French intelligence," al-Fayed told BBC radio in an interview. "They killed him, they had to kill him, of course." Al-Fayed has persisted with his version of events despite a French judicial inquiry that found Paul was drunk when his Mercedes limousine crashed at high speed into a pillar in a Paris road tunnel on August 31, 1997. The British Foreign Office said there was "not a shred of truth" in the allegation that the accident was the result of a conspiracy. "The implication that an agency of the British government might have had some involvement is baseless, and deeply upsetting for the royal family, the princess's family and all those who wish to remember her life and achievements," a spokesman said. Al-Fayed said Paul was sober and his blood sample had been switched at the mortuary. Paul had been a paid informer of MI6, Britain's foreign intelligence agency, for three years, he said. Al-Fayed, an Egyptian, called MI5, Britain's counter-intelligence service, and MI6 "two evil organisations accountable to nobody." "People have to understand that what happened to Diana and what happened to my son is a murder and I am not going keep quiet until I get to the truth." Al-Fayed said he had been unable to obtain proof to back his allegations because British secrecy laws denied him access to the files of the intelligence services. Al-Fayed said Dodi, a playboy film producer, had been engaged to marry Diana, who was divorced from British royal heir Prince Charles the year before she died. Friends of Diana say she did not intend to marry Dodi. Al-Fayed repeated his contention that the crash was caused by a white Fiat Uno car, which has not been traced, pushing the Mercedes into the pillar. He also revisited a theory, supported by a witness dismissed by French police as unreliable, that driver Paul -- an employee of Fayed's Ritz Hotel -- was blinded by a laser light. "Where is the Fiat Uno which pushed the car the into the column? Where is the motorcycle which ran away with a laser gun, blinding the driver?" Al-Fayed asked. Diana Driver's Blood 'Swapped' In Murder Cover-Up Says Al-Fayed LONDON (AFP) - British and French intelligence swapped the blood of the driver of Princess Diana's car to cover up the "murder" of Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed, Egyptian millionaire Mohammed Al Fayed claimed Friday. In an interview with the BBC, Dodi's father accused Britain and France of killing the couple and then trying to lay the blame on Paul, who also died in the crash. A two-year investigation by French judges concluded Paul was drunk, under medication and speeding when their Mercedes car crashed into a pillar on the Alma road tunnel in Paris early on August 31, 1997. Fayed, owner of the Harrods department store in London and the Ritz Hotel in Paris, has repeatedly accused the British secret services and royal family of plotting the deaths, and is appealing the ruling by the French judges. He returned to the attack in the BBC interview, insisting that if only he was allowed access to secret service files, he could prove it was all a plot. "Henri Paul's blood was exchanged in the mortuary, it's not Henri Paul's blood ... I'm going to prove that the blood is not Henri Paul's blood," he added. Fayed said Paul had been in the pay of British intelligence and drove into the tunnel "under the instruction" of the British and French secret services. He too had to die as part of the plot so he could not
[CTRL] The Origins of the Public School
-Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ The Origins of the Public School by Robert P. Murphy [Robert Murphy is a recent graduate from Hillsdale College in Michigan] Hardly anyone disputes the contention that the modern public school is seriously flawed. Test scores continue to be poor while metal detectors are found in the more violent schools. Welfare-state liberals argue that schools in poor areas need more money to place them on an equal footing with their richer counterparts: Conservatives usually reply that the solution is a voucher system that would break the government monopoly on education by restoring choice and control to parents. But virtually all participants on both sides of the debate concede the nobility of the original reformers; in their view, the "good intentions" of such school champions as Horace Mann and John Dewey led to "unintended consequences." Such admiration is misplaced. As historian Michael Katz writes, "The crusade for educational reform led by Horace Mann... was not the simple, unambiguous good it had long been taken to be; the central aim of the movement was to establish more efficient mechanisms of social control, and its chief legacy was the principle that 'education was something the better part of the community did to the others to make them orderly, moral, and tractable.' [1] Private Education Displaced Before the 1830s, education was largely an "informal, local affair," in which Catholic, Protestant, and other schools competed for pupils. [2] Often local governments would provide modest aid to schools, albeit in an unsystematic manner. But there certainly was no conception of a "public" school, neither in the United States nor anywhere else in the Western world. The distinction between private and public schools was not crystallized until the "school wars" of the 1840s, which officially ended the use of public funds to support Catholic schools. [3] What were the causes of that shift from private to public education? It is impossible to review the period in question and fail to conclude that the drive for public education was largely a response to the huge influx of poor, non-Protestant immigrants. Between 1821 and 1850 just under 2.5 million Europeans emigrated to the United States, over one million of whom were Irish Catholics. Nativist and "Know-Nothing" backlashes occurred, which included the burning of Catholic buildings and other forms of bigotry. [4] Many viewed Catholics as owing their loyalty to the Pope. One editor wrote that "a Romanist minority, trained by nuns and priests.., furnishes the majority of our criminals. [5] The increase in Catholics naturally led to construction of more Catholic schools. Many Protestants felt that they had to take action to check the rising prevalence of a false creed. Doubtless many would have supported government establishment of the Protestant church. Mann himself lamented that "there had never yet been a Christian government on earth." [6] The general respect for religious tolerance, however, made such a bold move politically impossible. Instead, control of religion was cleverly instituted through the public school. "The public school, an important socializing institution, became the substitute for the American national church," Susan Rose writes. [7] The "nondenominational" religious education eloquently described by Horace Mann was a farce -- the schools employed Protestant hymns, prayers, and the King James Bible. It was in response to such non-neutrality that the Catholic parochial system was established in 1874. [8] As with all who rely on government, Protestants would eventually rue the unholy alliance of state and school that their predecessors had established. As America became increasingly secularized, so went the public school. Like the Catholics before them, Protestants felt compelled to establish their own private schools to protect their children from the humanist and agnostic education they would now receive at the hands of the state. [9] Their forefathers had failed to see the danger common to all "democratic" coercion: one day the comfortable majority may find itself in the oppressed minority. Schools as Protectionism While the particular reasons for school consolidation were thus religious at heart, the extension of government influence in the education industry can also be analyzed as an attempt by inefficient "firms" to hinder competitors, a feature common to all expansions of state power. (Indeed, in Oregon, private schooling was literally forbidden until the Supreme Court in 1927 declared the prohibition unconstitutional. [10]) The primary supporters of Mann's drive to standardize curricula and centralize the disbursement of public funds were precisely those who would benefit financially from such policies. They included the trade unions, whose members benefited from the removal of children from the labor market, and the upper middle class, whose children were more likely
[CTRL] The Central Fallacy of Public Schooling
-Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ The Central Fallacy of Public Schooling by Daniel Hager [Daniel Haer is a writer in Lansing, Michigan] When World War II ended, Congress authorized a tax cut to take effect January 1, 1946. YoungAmerica, a publication distributed through public schools, ran an article in its December 13, 1945, issue discussing the measure and presenting a brief history of American taxation. The article concluded with a section titled "Then Now: Taxes Serve Us." "One hundred years ago" the writer stated, "our government helped the citizens by maintaining order. It did little else. Its expenses were low, and so taxes were low." He then quoted Benjamin Franklin's observation in Poor Richard's Almanack in 1758: "It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their income." The Young America writer continued, "In 1940, our Federal, State and local governments taxed us one-fifth of our incomes. But Franklin could not have guessed the tremendous growth of this country." (Emphasis in original.) The writer then offered justification for such high taxes: "As students, our young citizens are given school buildings. Our government does hundreds of things for us in our everyday life." He finished with a quotation from Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.: "I like to pay taxes. It is purchasing civilization." The article vividly illustrates the overriding intent of public schooling, which has always been indoctrination of the young. Who's in Charge? Indoctrination itself is not illegitimate. In fact, it is an intrinsic part of child rearing. Out of love and concern, parents explicitly or implicitly formulate desired outcomes for the young lives they have created. Parents generally hope their children will adhere to their own traditions and belief systems, which they attempt to inculcate. The question parents must face is, "Who will do the indoctrinating?" Schooling is an adjunct to child rearing. The schooling options available force parents to make decisions regarding the level of autonomy they wish to exercise. They retain the greatest control over their children's developing beliefs by schooling them at home. An alternative is to enroll their children in an institution where they are certain the indoctrination conforms to their own values, such as a religious school. When parents send a child to a tax-funded school, they sacrifice their autonomy to alien interests. The state has goals of its own that are distinct from those of parents. Parents are able to economize by availing themselves of a "free" school, but the bargain is Faustian. The child is subjected to indoctrination outside parental control. The price of tax-funded schooling is that parents give up their children to become instruments of the state. Under totalitarian regimes, the subjugation of parental belief systems to those of the state is blatant. Schoolchildren are propagandized into the doctrines of the leadership, their thoughts molded to the state's purposes. But even under a "democratic" regime the state operates manipulatively for its own ends. Those who govern generally like to continue governing. Their governance is more easily maintained when the governed are passive and docile. The state propaganda machine must convince the citizenry of government's benevolence. Schoolchildren are taught, as in the Young America article, that government "gives" them things and "does" things for them. Government schools inevitably become battlegrounds for control by ideological adversaries. The nature of the indoctrination changes as advocates of particular ideologies wax and wane in their power to influence curricula. The constant is that parents have relinquished direct control over what their children are taught to believe. This battle has been going on ever since the modern public school emerged in the first half of the 1800s. Education historian Joel Spring stated, "In the Western world of the nineteenth century, various political and economic groups believed that government-operated schools could be a mechanism for assuring the distribution of their particular ideology to the population. In this sense, public schools were the first mass medium designed to reach an entire generation." [1] Early Theocracy Indoctrination through compulsory schooling originated early in the nation's history. Massachusetts Bay Colony was organized unabashedly as a theocratic government that required citizens to adhere to stipulated religious beliefs. In 1642 the Massachusetts General Court passed an act requiring compulsory education of children and giving town selectmen the authority to maintain orthodox teaching and punish recalcitrant parents. The civil government was in charge of the schools, which were supported by taxes. R. Freeman Butts and Lawrence A. Cremin wrote, "Here was the principle that government had authority to control schools, and it was well enunciated in the

You might want to down load the "statement of FAQ" from our website to send along with it. Let's jump on this while it's hot!!! Thank you! LPDC Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott said that renewed congressional inquiries into Waco should expand to other instances in which Justice Department officials may have withheld information about government conduct. I think its going to have to be broader than just Waco itself, said Lott, a Mississippi Republican. There are a number of investigations that they are basically either not doing or they have stiffed us on. So we need to find out whats going on. ---AP press RESPOND!!! Dear members of congress, We are very encouraged that Senator Trent Lott recognizes the need for congressional inquiries to expand beyond FBI misconduct in regard to Waco and we agree that there have been numerous incidences and patterns of FBI misconduct that have remained unanswered, uninvestigated, and unaccounted for. Meanwhile, victims of such continue to await justice and we, the American public, are asking you to take immediate action. We wish to bring to your attention to a particularly urgent and disturbing example, that being the ongoing incarceration of Native American activist, Leonard Peltier who has been in prison for some twenty-three years. Mr. Peltier, convicted for the shooting deaths of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation, has been declared a political prisoner by Amnesty International who is demanding his immediate and unconditional release. The pattern of FBI misconduct involved with the investigation, extradition from Canada, and trial of Leonard Peltier is well documented. Senior court judges, members of congress, and human rights watch groups alike have repeatedly admonished the FBI for their handling of the Peltier case. However, no action by the justice department or congress has ever been taken to remedy or hold the FBI accountable for their shocking abuse of power and secrecy which has cost several Native Americans their lives , and has left the life of Leonard Peltier in the balance. From the beginning, the FBI has withheld information that both documents their misconduct and establishes Mr. Peltiers innocence. Today the FBI continues this pattern by withholding 6000 documents relating to the Peltier case for reasons of National Security. .Mr. Leonard Peltier was extradited from Canada on the basis of an affidavit signed by a Myrtle Poor Bear, a local Native American woman known to have serious mental problems. She claimed to have been Mr. Peltiers girl friend at the time, and to have been present during the shoot out, and to have witnessed the murders. In fact she did not know Mr. Peltier, nor was she present at the time of the shooting. She later confessed she had given the false statement after being pressured and terrorized by FBI agents. A third Poor Bear affidavit which had clearly contradicted the two used to extradite Leonard Peltier had been withheld by the FBI. Upon hearing this issue on appeal, the 8th circuit court stated, the use of the affidavits of Myrtle Poor Bear in the extradition proceedings was, to say the least, a clear abuse of the investigative process by the F.B.I. No action has ever been taken to hold the FBI accountable for this illegal conduct. Freedom of Information Act documents which were released, revealed that the main evidence used to convict Mr. Peltier had in fact been manufactured and exculpatory evidence relating to it, withheld. On appeal, the 8th circuit stated there is a possibility that the jury would have acquitted Leonard Peltier had the records and data improperly withheld from the defense been available to him in order to better exploit and reinforce the inconsistencies casting strong doubts upon the government's case. Yet, the appeal was denied and Mr. Peltier remains in prison. (When faced with the above, U.S. prosecutor, Lynn Crooks admitted and later established that they could not prove who killed the agents.) Prior to the shoot-out which led up to Mr. Peltiers conviction, the Senate Select

[CTRL] Humor: THE RULES OF CHOCOLATE
-Caveat Lector- THE RULES OF CHOCOLATE If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other? Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy? If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you? If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated. You can't let that happen, can you?

[CTRL] Giant morgue prepared for New Year disasters
-Caveat Lector- From The Sunday Times, http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/99/09/19/stinwenws01029.html?99 9 - September 19 1999 BRITAIN Giant morgue prepared for New Year disasters Maurice Chittenden A SPORTS centre with room for up to 1,000 bodies has been set aside as a makeshift mortuary in case of a disaster in London on millennium night. More than 2m people are expected to line the banks of the Thames to celebrate the arrival of the 21st century. Emergency planners fear many could end up in the river, on purpose or by accident. One reason the river event, known as Big Time, is being staged is to help divert crowds from Trafalgar Square, the traditional place of celebration. But the waterside setting has raised safety concerns. Police, fire and ambulance services are to stage a disaster exercise using life-sized dummies in preparation. Council officers will be paid up to £500 each to be on standby to open the Queen Mother Sports Centre in Victoria as a morgue. In the event of a major civil emergency, bodies will be laid across five badminton courts in the sports hall. The government is considering closing some of the busiest Thames bridges, or allowing only police, fire engines and ambulances access. The bridges will be among the best vantage points to see the promised "river of fire" show, a 15-minute firework display just after midnight launched from barges on the Thames. A control centre at Westminster city hall will monitor the crowds using closed circuit television. Police have been trying to reduce the New Year crowds in Trafalgar Square since 1982, when two women were crushed to death and 193 people injured. In recent years the crowd has dropped from a peak of 120,000 to 70,000. The "river of fire" is intended to attract people away from the square to the Thames embankment. Nick Raynsford, the minister for London, said: "I want to make it clear that in planning this event safety has been our prime concern." A spokesman for the Port of London Authority, which will control boats on the Thames, said: "We have to assume the worst, which means not just the expectation that a number of people will be depressed and try to commit suicide or that cults may stage mass suicides, but that far greater numbers of people, sparked by exuberance and too much drink, will jump in for a laugh, not realising how much trouble they can get into." -- Dan S DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Human rights campaigners claim a number of these are likely to have links with those complicit in the attrocities. The US programme, codenamed 'Iron Balance', was hidden from legislators and the public when Congress curbed the official schooling of Indonesia's army after a massacre in 1991. Principal among the units that continued to be trained was the Kopassus Ð an elite force with a bloody history Ð which was more rigorously trained by the US than any other Indonesian unit, according to Pentagon documents passed to The Observer last week. Kopassus was built up with American expertise despite US awareness of its role in the genocide of about 200,000 people in the years after the invasion of East Timor in 1975, and in a string of massacres and disappearances since the bloodbath. Amnesty International describes Kopassus as 'responsible for some of the worst human rights violations in Indonesia's history'. The Pentagon documents Ð obtained by the US-based East Timor Action Network and Illinois congressman Lane Evans Ð detail every exercise in the covert training programme, conducted under a Pentagon project called JCET (Joint Combined Education and Training). They show the training was in military expertise that could only be used internally against civilians, such as urban guerrilla warfare, surveillance, counter-intelligence, sniper marksmanship and 'psychological operations'. Specific commanders trained under the US programme have been tied to the current violence and to some of the worst massacres of the past 20 years, including the slaughter at Kraras in 1983 and at Santa Cruz in 1991. The US-trained commanders include the son-in-law of the late dictator General Suharto, Prabowo Subianto, and his mentor, General Kiki Syahnakri Ð the man appointed last week by the so-called 'reform' government as commissioner for martial law in East Timor. The secret programme unveiled in the document became the focus for military training when above-board aid was curtailed by Congress after the Santa Cruz massacre. Congress had stepped in after up to 270 peaceful protesters Ð many of them schoolchildren Ð were murdered by Kopassus shock troops as they paraded through Dili. American sponsorship of the Indonesian regime began as a matter of Cold War ideology, in the wake of defeat in Vietnam. The left-wing movement in East Timor was feared by Jakarta and seen by the US as an echo of those in southern Africa and of Salvador Allende's government in Chile. Jakarta's harassment of the Timor government and the invasion of 1975 were duly encouraged by the United States. The training of Indonesia's officer corps peaked during the mid-Eighties. In 1990 a former official at the US Embassy in Jakarta cabled the State Department to say US sponsorship had been 'a big help to the (Indonesian) army. They probably killed a lot of people and I probably have a lot of blood on my hands'. But the horror of Santa Cruz in 1991, when trucks were seen dumping bodies in the sea, was too much. The US decided that the training, while still available, should be paid for by the recipient nation Ð in other words, it would no longer be military aid. The covert programme then became the main means of training Indonesia's military Ð still at the American taxpayers' expense. In an undated prospectus, the Pentagon says the prime mission was to 'to develop, organise, equip, train, advise and direct indigenous militaries'. The scale was small, to offer concentrated 'significant special training' which would create 'self-sufficient small units'. In 1996, for instance, 10 exercises involved 376 US personnel and 838 Indonesians or 'loyal' Timorese. Britain also made a significant contribution to Indonesia's military training. The Observer has established that, since May 1997, 24 senior members of Indonesia's forces have been trained in UK military colleges. This included training in running military units efficiently and how to used technical equipment like guided missiles. In addition, 29 Indonesian officers have studied at non-military establishments. Revelations of the extent to which Labour has used taxpayers' money to aid the Indonesian military has angered many MPs, who claim it makes a mockery of Foreign Secretary Robin Cook's 'ethical foreign policy'.

- SNETNEWS Mailing List Dear Mr Bush: I found this old press release and wondered if you have any knowledge of how the investigation ended. Every prisoner in these prisons and their family members would also like to know. Every citizen that will end up in one of these 'private' prisons will want to know. Seems many of the prison industries who are locking up so many non-violent people have their own seedy pasts. Unless the investigation uncovered Wackenhut's innocence, which we also want to know about. I'd also like to know when I can schedule a meeting with you concerning the "goon squad," the investigation, and the federal prisoner, Gary Waid, who I understand is still in maximum security.

P R E S S R E L E A S E ACC Accuses Wackenhut International Corporation EMPLOYEEs of Tortuous Criminal Harassment. Finds Wackenut's Security Force Website's Digital Signatures on Fraudulent Messages being placed on ACC's Website by Hackers, who had allegedly engaged in months of interference in ACC's operations. Suggests that Wackenhut might be operating a CYBER-TERRORISM TEAM on the WEB. Cranford, NJ. April 25, 1997 After discovering digital signatures it couldn't identify on its web server in bulletin board messages and access records, ACC installed updated remote host detection code in an effort to determine who or what was behind a concerted effort to interfere with its operations, and that of its Publication Department's On-Line Investigation into the Science of Space Travel, Aerospace Science, and such interesting commentary topics as the alleged 1947 Roswell, NM crash of a UFO, and public reaction to it, and theories about the tragic Kennedy, King and Rabin assassinations. Round the clock surveillance of its own equipment for three months finally paid off when, after isolating the pattern of fraudulent access to its servers, a message left by a member of the group of hackers engaging in what ACC called "pre-planned, well organized harassment of ACC by wire fraud, email fraud and telephonic threatening", revealed the original digital signature of that user's WEB HOST, and what is now believed to be the origins of the entire group hacking ACC's equipment. The message, one of hundreds from the same small group of hackers, originated on the servers maintained by Wackenhut International Corporation's "Mail1" server, part of the Gateway used by Wackenhut, a billion dollar International Security Force provider to the US Government, to gain access to the Internet. Wackenhut's equipment is not set up for Public Anonymous usage, and has extensive security, precluding the possibility that the hackers had hacked into Wackenhuts equipment to use it as a shield, stated an Internet Security Expert employed by ACC. "This is consistent with a pattern of deliberate abuse of ACC's Web Servers and Email accounts: employees at Wackenhut, using its internal Web Server access accounts and equipment, have apparently been SPAMMING and TERRORIZING the American Computer Company 'Publications Department' which has been pursuing a journalistic investigation of the issues regarding Wackenhut's CLIENTs involvement in an alleged cover-up of the capture of a Crashed UFO, kept supposedly at Area 51, which Wackenhut provides inside security services to for the US Air Force," stated a forum supervisor known to the Internet Public only as 'Morpheus' through the On-Line "Alien Science and Technologies Forum", maintained by ACC's Publications Department. "The real question is, which of Wackenhut's very visible CLIENTs may have commissioned this alleged CYBERWAR against ACC," he added. The Alien Science and Technology Forum is a light, satiric, educational investigation of scientific issues involving space travel, aerospace science, electronic science, physics, and other areas of research, politics, commerce and human sociology. Among its topics are the infamous Roswell UFO Crash, in the public spotlight recently due to the 50th Anniversary of Roswell held during the Summer of 1997. During the period, ACC issued a light commentary about the allegations made by one Lt. Col. Philip Corso, Nuclear Physicist Stanton Friedman and an anonymous Consultant, that started an inquiry as to whether they were correct or not in suggesting such 1940's engineering marvels as the Bell Transistor, were in reality derived from Alien Technology taken off the allegedly downed Roswell UFO. Within a week of publishing its original story, ACC indicated, its offices had been broken into, it had received classified materials leaked it deliberately by a "consultant" and faxed to it without solicitation, and extensive sabotage of its Web
[CTRL] Press Conference Speech of David McReynolds (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 20:02:01 -0400 [David McReynolds formally declared his candidacy for the Socialist Party's nomination for President of the United States on September 7, 1999. The following is the text of his speech.] Let me keep these remarks brief, so that if there are questions there will be time to ask them. Let me note that while I think the media has every right to ask questions about the personal life of a candidate, as it might relate to job performance, and while I am prepared to respond fully to questions about any past or current drug use, legal or illegal, the media missed the key point about Governor Bush and the allegations he may once have used cocaine. Anyone seeking the nomination for President on the Democratic or Republican ticket must raise so much money that the real question is not the drugs used in the past, but, to put it bluntly, which corporate forces have bought and paid for the candidate. Neither Governor Bush nor Vice President Al Gore are free agents. They represent corporate America. If anyone wants to know what interests I represent I respond simply that if I'm nominated at the Socialist Party convention in October I will represent a group of concerned citizens with little in the way of financial resources. I will represent their hopes, and the platform and beliefs of a Party, which I joined in 1951, while a student at UCLA. And I will work to limit the kind of obscenity we see today when the corporations openly bid for the candidates. Campaign financing laws must be enacted that provide a level playing field, with no special favors to large donors. It is good that a range of views be offered to the electorate. There is very little to choose between Bush and Gore, very little real debate of substance on our domestic and foreign policy. The arena of debate must be broadened, the range of issues discussed extended. That would be my job as the candidate of the Socialist Party. Having seen our government engage in wars without Congressional approval, in open violation of the UN Charter, whether in Panama under George Bush, or in Kosova under Bill Clinton. I believe this nation must not go to war without the full consent of Congress, after debate. The theory of Executive Wars must end. Watching our military with its almost hallucinatory budget, I urge the Pentagon budget be cut immediately by 50%, with radical further cuts each year. We face no military threat from our immediate neighbors, Mexico and Canada, and are protected by vast oceans from invasion. The American military now extends into every area of our lives, and I pledge to resist the militarization of this nation, this obscene continuation of a Garrison State so sharply denounced by the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower when he left office and warned of the military/industrial complex. Given the ads taken out in the uNew York Times/u by concerned business leaders worried over the misuse of our tax funds for unneeded military spending, my position only seems radical because neither major party is prepared to speak to it. Nuclear weapons remain a grave danger and we must strive for an immediate end of all further nuclear testing and take immediate steps to scale down our own arsenals of nuclear weapons even as we engage with other nuclear powers to reduce theirs until we have zero nuclear weapons, and a sense of trust and verification which will give us assurance that no new weapons are tested and the list of nuclear states diminishes to zero rather than expanding to disaster. I call for the closing of all foreign U.S. bases, including the base in Guantanamo, Cuba. I call for the end of sanctions against Iraq, Cuba and Libya. Even as we meet today, people are being killed in East Timor by the government of Indonesia, armed and supported by the United States. And even as we appeal to President Clinton to take immediate action to pressure the Indonesian government to respect the accords on self-determination, we also know that from the time of Henry Kissinger until today, the United States has been a patron of Indonesia, and has close military and economic ties to it. We pledge to oppose with our full might any further trade in arms by this government. The manufacture and sale of land mines, military air craft, guns, etc., must end immediately. The war on drugs has resulted in an explosion of our prison population so that we now have the greatest number of prisoners of any nation in the world - something in which none of us should take pride. We have seen the creation of virtual prison industrial complex in which the ultimate victims are those men and women jailed, their families and friends, and the society which pays vast sums on incarceration rather than treatment and rehabilitation. In the city of New York it is easier to be arrested for the sale of heroin than it is to gain admittance to the drug rehabilitation programs. The war on drugs

[CTRL] Killings in SA
-Caveat Lector- Electronic Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ Black lieutenant kills seven whites at army base By Anton La Guardia in Bloemfontein A BLACK South African army officer was shot dead yesterday after he went on the rampage against white colleagues killing seven, including several officers. Five white soldiers were also wounded, two of them critically. The black lieutenant, who was not named, fired his automatic rifle as he went from office to office in the headquarters of the First South African Infantry Battalion at the Tempe base in Bloemfontein. The army tried to play down the prospect of a racially-motivated murder within its ranks, but the killings will raise many uncomfortable questions about the "integration" of the armed forces after the end of apartheid. Relatives of the victims said that the black lieutenant - reportedly a former member of the Azanian People's Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Pan-Africanist Congress, the radical black party - was angry at the loss of pay after being absent without leave. He had gone to speak to the base commander but when he did not find him, he shot the deputy, a major. He then shot other people in the headquarters building before continuing his shooting spree outside. The mother of a wounded major said: "My son tried to take his gun away but he was shot in the chest. He continued to grapple with him on the ground and was shot again in the shoulder." The dead included a white civilian woman working in one of the offices. An army spokesman said: "The people who were killed were white. The officer who shot them was black, but it's very dangerous to look at a matter of this nature along colour lines. It's a person against a person." The First South African Infantry Battalion is regarded as an elite unit. Its soldiers were among the first to be deployed in Lesotho last year in an operation which, despite poor planning, was hailed as proof of the success of South Africa's new armed forces. With the end of apartheid, former enemies were merged into a new force. The old white-dominated South African army was integrated with anti-apartheid armed guerrillas and the militias of the former black homelands. It was a delicate process which, until yesterday's shooting, was thought to be going well despite the ubiquitous racial tensions which still dominate South African society. At the same time, the force is being cut down from about 100,000 to 70,000, and is being re-trained for roles including regional peace-keeping. The army and police have launched an investigation, and said they will look into a possible racial motive. They will want to know how the soldier got hold of live ammunition. The Tempe base, on the outskirts of Bloemfontein, houses several other units - including paratroopers, special forces and armour. Journalists were kept out of the site of the shooting and many soldiers were reluctant to speak. One black soldier said: "The integration is going well, but there are still many problems between blacks and whites in the army." Another black soldier said: "Of course it's about race." A white officer, however, thought the incident was "personal". He said: "There is a lot of shock and sadness. But it could have been anybody taking a gun to his superiors. It might have been a white lieutenant." The defence minister, Patrick Lekota, and the chief-of-staff Siphiwe Nyanda, visited the base and appealed for calm. Mr Nyanda said he was still trying to establish the motive for the killings. Mbeki calls for calm after army massacre THE South African government and army yesterday moved to dampen racial tensions after a black officer, Lt Sibusiso Madubela, 28, killed six white soldiers and a civilian at Tempe base in Bloemfontein, before being shot dead by a fellow soldier. President Thabo Mbeki, appealing for calm, said: "It seems that . . . something went wrong in his head. He just lost control." Brig-Gen Hans Heinze, the base commander, urged journalists not to "pour oil on the flames" by concentrating on the likelihood of a racial motive for the murders. Madubela was said to have been angry at having his pay docked for being absent without leave after attending his father's funeral. Anton La Guardia, Bloemfontein ISSUE 1576 Saturday 18 September 1999 It was interesting to note the different press reactions to the events. Primedia owned by Mr Kirsch sppressed it almost immediately. The independent group, owned by Mr O' Reilly has publicised it and but gives the line it was not racist.

-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 Books in My Life by Colin Wilson It was about the time that I was thirteen or fourteen that I began to catch glimpses of an answer to the problem of nihilism that had reduced me to such a state of despair and exhaustion. In a secondhand bookshop, I found the Everyman edition of Goethe's Faust . Even the awful translation could not disguise the tremendous vitality of the poetry . . . But when I came to Faust's opening speech, in his "high vaulted narrow Gothic chamber," I realized with a shock that the young Goethe had experienced my own glimpse of meaninglessness. I have studied, alas, philosophy, And jurisprudence, and medicine, too, And worst of all, theology, With ardent labor through and through. As here I stick, as wise, poor fool As when my steps first turned to school. Master they style me, nay doctor, forsooth And nigh ten years, o'er rough and smooth, And up and down, and acrook and across, I lead my pupils by the nose, And know that in truth we can know--aught! "Das wir nichts wissen konnen"--that we can know nothing: the words made my heart sink. Yet there was also immense comfort in knowing that someone else had recognized the futility of human knowledge. There followed a passage that I soon learned by heart: Would thou, full orbed moon, didst shine Thy last upon this pain of mine. Thou whom from this my desk so oft I watched at midnight climb aloft. O'er books and papers thou didst send Thy radiance, melancholy friend. Ah, could I, on some mountain height, Float onward, steeped in thy dear light, Round mountain caves with spirits hover, Or float the moonlit meadows over, From fumes of learning purse my soul, Bathe in thy dew, and so be whole. Like Faust, I also felt that I had dehydrated my soul with logic and reason. But whenever I read this passage, I experienced a cooling sensation, like plunging a blistered finger into cold water, and a sense of relaxation and serenity. In fact, Goethe does not use the word "float," but "gehn," which might easily be translated "walk." But this image of floating peacefully over moonlit meadows always brought a tremor of sheer joy. = Spy vs. Spy Nuclear Disarmament Chief Was Stasi Secret Agent The commies just keep on coming. A UNIVERSITY professor who was on the national council of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was a communist agent, The Telegraph reveals today. Vic Allen, a retired professor of economics at Leeds University, passed confidential information about CND to East German intelligence officers and manipulated the peace movement into taking a Soviet-friendly line. According to secret files compiled by the Stasi, the East German secret police, Mr Allen provided information on CND leaders and activists for several years during the Eighties and visited the East German Embassy in London. In 1985, he unsuccessfully attempted to succeed Joan Ruddock as the chairman of CND, which then had 400,000 members. The Telegraph has learnt that MI5 had a file on Mr Allen, 77, but it is not known if the security service was fully aware of his activities. He has admitted being an informer but denies betraying his country, acting illegally or receiving payments. He said: "I feel no regrets." Security experts said Mr Allen, who lives in Keighley, West Yorks, would have been regarded as an "agent of influence" by the Stasi. He is the fourth Communist asset to be unmasked within the past nine days - causing embarrassment to the security services and the Government. Robin Pearson, a lecturer at Hull University, was named as a Stasi spy on Friday. The Home Office said yesterday that although he was interviewed by MI5 in 1994, it was decided not to prosecute him as there was no "usable evidence". Yesterday, Ann Widdecombe, the shadow home secretary, demanded that the Government disclose details of all alleged communist spies. She said: "What I want Jack Straw to do is to stop what is now happening, which is that we are only finding out about these things through press revelations." CND, formed in 1958, said it was "appalling and disgusting" that Mr Allen fed information on its members to the East Germans. A spokesman said: "It is deeply concerning that anybody should be passing on information on our members. We were used to being targeted by MI5 and the Ministry of Defence, but now we find that former Soviet states were after information on us." Mr Allen, who packed CND meetings with Soviet sympathisers, aimed to promote Moscow's unilateral cause within the organisation, urging that Britain alone disarm its nuclear weapons. Rival factions wanted the Kremlin to disarm too. In an interview with BBC2's The Spying Game to be broadcast next month, Mr Allen admits that he provided information to East Germany. He said: "It

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Plaintiffs, five registered District of Columbia voters and a committee of
such voters, and the defendant, the District or Columbia Board of Elections
and Ethics ("the Board"), seek a declaratory judgment that Sec. 171 of
Congress's 1998 District of Columbia Appropriations Act (the "Barr
Amendment") is unconstitutional if it bars the Board from counting,
releasing, and certifying the results of the November 3, l998 D. C.
referendum known as initiative 59. The Unified States intervenor defending
the constitutionality of the Barr Amendment, claiming that it bars
certifying but not counting and announcing the election results. The Court
held a consolidated hearing on the merits of plaintiffs' motion for a
preliminary injunction and on

the parties' cross motions for summary judgment. Because the Court holds
that the Barr Amendment does not preclude the Board from counting,
announcing or certifying the results of the referendum on Initiative 59,
the Board may release and certify them and the Court need not reach the
constitutional question.
Factual Background
On September 17, 1998, the Board certified a ballot initiative entitled
Initiative 59 as proper for placement on the ballot for the November 1998
District of Columbia elections after the measure garnered the requisite
support through signatures. (Def.'s Mem. Summ. J., Attmts. Ex. 2, Miller

Initiative, was designed, in part, to allow chronically ill individuals to
use marijuana without violating criminal provisions of the D.C. Code.
(Def.'s Mem. Supp. Summ. J. at 2-3 ("Def.'s Mem.").) Attmts.' Initiative 59
states in part:
Sec. 1 All seriously ill individuals have the right to obtain and use
marijuana for medical purposes when a licensed physician has found the use
of marijuana to be medically necessary. . . Sec. 2 Medical patients who

On October 21, 1998, Congress enacted the Barr Amendment as part of the
District of Columbia Appropriations Act. Omnibus Consolidated
Appropriations Bill of 1998, Pub. L. No. 105-277, 112 Stat. 2681-150 (1998)
The Barr Amendment provides that:
None of the funds contained in [the District of Columbia Appropriations
Act] may be used to conduct any ballot initiative which seeks to legalize
or otherwise reduce penalties associated with the possession, use, or
distribution of any schedule I subs substance under the Controlled
Substances Act . . . or any tetrahydrocannabinols derivative.
Id, Because Initiative 59 attempts to reduce penalties for some use and
possession of marijuana, it falls under the purview of the Barr Amendment.
On November 3, 1998, residents of the District of Columbia voted on
Initiative 59 since it had been printed on the ballots prior to passage of
the Barr Amendment. (Def.'s Mem. at 8.) The Board has not released the
results of the vote on initiative 59, however, for fear of violating the
Barr Amendment.
Interpreting the Barr Amendment
The text of the Barr Amendment prevents the Board from using funds to
"conduct any ballot initiative" regarding any measure designed to lesser
penalties for drug possession, use, or distribution. The question, then)
is, whether counting,

releasing, and certifying the results of the election is part of conducting
a ballot initiative.

Amendment should apply to the activity that takes place only up to and

[CTRL] US trained butchers of Timor
-Caveat Lector- US trained butchers of Timor http://www.newsunlimited.co.uk/indonesia/Story/0,2763,83783,00.html Exclusive: Washington trained death squads in secret while Britain has spent £1m helping Indonesian army Ed Vulliamy in New York and Antony Barnett Sunday September 19, 1999 Indonesian military forces linked to the carnage in East Timor were trained in the United States under a covert programme sponsored by the Clinton Administration which continued until last year. The Observer can also disclose that the Government has spent about £1 million in training more than 50 members of the Indonesian military in Britain since it came to power. Human rights campaigners claim a number of these are likely to have links with those complicit in the attrocities. The US programme, codenamed 'Iron Balance', was hidden from legislators and the public when Congress curbed the official schooling of Indonesia's army after a massacre in 1991. Principal among the units that continued to be trained was the Kopassus Ð an elite force with a bloody history Ð which was more rigorously trained by the US than any other Indonesian unit, according to Pentagon documents passed to The Observer last week. Kopassus was built up with American expertise despite US awareness of its role in the genocide of about 200,000 people in the years after the invasion of East Timor in 1975, and in a string of massacres and disappearances since the bloodbath. Amnesty International describes Kopassus as 'responsible for some of the worst human rights violations in Indonesia's history'. The Pentagon documents Ð obtained by the US-based East Timor Action Network and Illinois congressman Lane Evans Ð detail every exercise in the covert training programme, conducted under a Pentagon project called JCET (Joint Combined Education and Training). They show the training was in military expertise that could only be used internally against civilians, such as urban guerrilla warfare, surveillance, counter-intelligence, sniper marksmanship and 'psychological operations'. Specific commanders trained under the US programme have been tied to the current violence and to some of the worst massacres of the past 20 years, including the slaughter at Kraras in 1983 and at Santa Cruz in 1991. The US-trained commanders include the son-in-law of the late dictator General Suharto, Prabowo Subianto, and his mentor, General Kiki Syahnakri Ð the man appointed last week by the so-called 'reform' government as commissioner for martial law in East Timor. The secret programme unveiled in the document became the focus for military training when above-board aid was curtailed by Congress after the Santa Cruz massacre. Congress had stepped in after up to 270 peaceful protesters Ð many of them schoolchildren Ð were murdered by Kopassus shock troops as they paraded through Dili. American sponsorship of the Indonesian regime began as a matter of Cold War ideology, in the wake of defeat in Vietnam. The left-wing movement in East Timor was feared by Jakarta and seen by the US as an echo of those in southern Africa and of Salvador Allende's government in Chile. Jakarta's harassment of the Timor government and the invasion of 1975 were duly encouraged by the United States. The training of Indonesia's officer corps peaked during the mid-Eighties. In 1990 a former official at the US Embassy in Jakarta cabled the State Department to say US sponsorship had been 'a big help to the (Indonesian) army. They probably killed a lot of people and I probably have a lot of blood on my hands'. But the horror of Santa Cruz in 1991, when trucks were seen dumping bodies in the sea, was too much. The US decided that the training, while still available, should be paid for by the recipient nation Ð in other words, it would no longer be military aid. The covert programme then became the main means of training Indonesia's military Ð still at the American taxpayers' expense. In an undated prospectus, the Pentagon says the prime mission was to 'to develop, organise, equip, train, advise and direct indigenous militaries'. The scale was small, to offer concentrated 'significant special training' which would create 'self-sufficient small units'. In 1996, for instance, 10 exercises involved 376 US personnel and 838 Indonesians or 'loyal' Timorese. Britain also made a significant contribution to Indonesia's military training. The Observer has established that, since May 1997, 24 senior members of Indonesia's forces have been trained in UK military colleges. This included training in running military units efficiently and how to used technical equipment like guided missiles. In addition, 29 Indonesian officers have studied at non-military establishments. Revelations of the extent to which Labour has used taxpayers' money to aid the Indonesian military has angered many MPs, who claim it makes a mockery of Foreign Secretary Robin Cook's 'ethical foreign policy'. In the last four years of the Tory

David Feustel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mindspring.com/~dfeustel ARTICLE: FAYETTVILLE ONLINE Saturday, September 11, 1999 Third soldier dies while training Army officials order safety review By J.S. Newton --Staff writer The U.S. Army Special Operations Command has had another fatal training accident involving a Fort Bragg soldier. It is the third training death in as many days for Fort Bragg-based special operations forces. Its all in the hands of God what happens to us every day, said Carol Darby, a spokeswoman for USASOC. Following the incidents, the command ordered a thorough worldwide review of all of its safety precautions. Two soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Special Forces Group died Tuesday night when they were swept away during a water training exercise in the Savannah River, Ga. On Friday, officials identified 40-year-old Lt. Col. Timothy A. Boyles as the second victim from the river accident. He was commander of the 1st Battalion. The identity of the first victim, Sgt. Eric Ellingson, was revealed Thursday. The most recent fatality occurred Thursday night when 36-year-old Master Sgt. Gaetano Cutino died on a helicopter insertion exercise near Sicily Drop Zone on Fort Bragg. He apparently died from injuries sustained while exiting from an MH-6 Little Bird helicopter, military officials said. Cutino was assigned to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Fran Gull, a Superior Court judge from Fort Wayne, Ind., was Cutinos sister. She said her brother was a John Wayne fanatic and former high school football player. But what he loved most was his family and his job. He loved soldiering, she said. He was a wonderful father to his three kids, and he was a wonderful husband to his wife. Adding to an already tragic week for USASOC, military officials announced Friday that an Army Ranger had accidentally died in Germany from a gunshot wound to the chest. Sgt. Jamey Dimase, who was 26, of the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Fort Benning, Ga. was participating in marksmanship training at the time of his death, military officials said. Local military officials said there is no relationship between the rash of accidents. Its just a coincidence, said Jimmy Dean, a spokesman for the Special Forces Association in Fayetteville. There might not be another (death) in five years. Dean said he and a group of retired Green Berets had been discussing the river death Friday morning. He said he and other retired Green Berets all have drawn the same conclusions. Its just one of those things, he said. When you conduct training, you are going to have accidents. He said special operations work requires training that is realistic. Safety is a big part, he added. But it still happens. Nevertheless, the commander of the United States Army Special Operations Command, Lt. Gen. William Tangney, ordered a comprehensive safety review at all levels under his command, Darby said. Darby said Tangney wants to assure all soldiers are reminded of safeguard requirements and that commanders emphasize risk management during planning and execution of their training. Tangneys jurisdiction stretches across more than 50 areas throughout the world. It is not known how long the review would take, she said. Darby said accidents like these hit the tightly knit Special Operations community hard. Its like losing a member of their family, she said.The commander, Boyles began his job as

[CTRL] George Bush and the Palmemurder
-Caveat Lector- from alt.conspiracy - As always, Caveat Lector. Om K - A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:554205"George Bush and the Palmemurder/A - Subject: George Bush and the Palmemurder From: "Torbjörn Jerlerup" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 18 September 1999 06:23 AM EDT Message-id: HKJE3.606$[EMAIL PROTECTED] Could it have been George Bush who ordered the assassination Olof Palme? There is an ongoing discussion in Sweden about the role of George Bush and the parallell government that Bush led during the time of the assasination of Olof Palme in 1986. This discussion deals mainly with the Bush led secret arms- and drugs business that is more known as the Iran/Contras-affair, and the use of mercenaries in this business. More recently (June) a report was published by the Palme Commission that also, to some degree, takes up this question. This report is interesting because of two aspects in it. First: that it exonerates the American presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche from the accusation that he, and his Swedish cothinkers in the EAP (European Labour party) murdered Olof Palme, as some journalists, The Bush-crowd and, The Soviet intelligence at the time claimed. Second: because it shows that the Swedish police has had as one of its hypothesis that George Bush and the Bush fraction of the CIA, could have assassinated palme. In June the Palme Commision gave out a 1000 page document that is an investigation of the Police-investigation that investigates the murder of Olof Palme. This report is in it self a cover up, because major aspects of what happened at the time when Palme was assassinated is not described, but however, there are some aspects which are of interest. As I already mentioned the first deals with the slander campaign against Lyndon LaRouche. The report quotes the Police Investigation of the assassination which in a secret document concluded that there is nothing concrete in the substance which would indicate that the EAP as a party or that a group inside the EAP would be involved with the the murder. Further it is said that according to what is known, neither the EAP nor its sister parties around in the world have never unsed violence directed against politicians or other pubic persons. This is important because Lyndon LaRouche was unjustly imprisoned for five years due to a political witchhunt that had as its origin a WACO-styled attack on the offices of his associates and the newspaper affiliated with him, New Solidarity, in Leesburg, Virginia. This WACO-styled attack was ordered by George Bush and one of the official reasons to why they made this raid was to get information about if LaRouche had been behind the assassination of Palme. Bush and Oliver North, two of the persons who decided about the attack, off course knew about laRouches innocence. For them the attack was more a way to get rid of a annoying threath to their political operations. The second thing I mentioned was that the report shows that the Police did some research (however too little) about the Bush/CIA track. Already in 1986 the question was raised if not the fact that Olof Palme from spring 1985 refused to cooperate with Bush and CIA in their dirty deals in the Middle East could have been one of the reasons behind the murder. The hypothesis was then that Palme stopped the Swedish secret arms export to Iran at a time when USA exported arms to Iran. This is off course something that Bush would not have liked! It is also revealed that the Police has looked into the P2 telegram issue (that an operative of the Italian P2-lodge contacted a member of Bush staff in 1986 about the fact that Palme was to be be assassinated, because he was a troublemaker). The Police has also investigated the European explosives cartel that around 1985 and 1986 smuggled arms and explosives to Iran and Iraq in cooperation with Bush and Ollie North in the USA. The frightening thing is that Bush and North, as well as the NATO affiliated European cartel worked closely with KGB and STASI that helped them to smuggle weapons to the Middle East and to the Contras in Nicaragua. The Police has also investigated the South African aparthaid connection of the Bush-gang! It is interesting in this context that Lyndon LaRouche already the day after the murder pointed out the secret intelligence networks around what later was to be revealed as the Iran/Contras, and STASI/KGB as the most likely assassins, in his Operation Edgar Allen Poe. Could this memorandum have been the reason to why George Bush initiated his vicious attacks against Lyndon LaRouche and later imprisoned him? Did LaRouche know too much about the nature of his dirty business??? What was the role of george Bush Sr behind the murder of Olof Palme and the imprisonment of Lyndon LaRouche and, by the way, what do George Bush jr know about this??? http://www.nysol.se/english - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

For clandestine Luciferian Masons (CLuMs) the zodiac sign of Virgo (the virgin) is important for women in general, in their states of young girl, mother, and old woman. In many cases human sacrifices of women are carried out by CLuMs during this zodiac sign. This was the case with the death of Princess Diana who was killed by CLuMs on August 31, 1997, just before the New Moon of Virgo (9/1/97). CLuM human sacrifices are also sometimes synchronized with the New Moon, or the Full Moon, according to the sacrificial timetable of the Temple of Solomon, the central object of Masonic mythology. As far as the French police investigation itself is concerned, the fact that they have not publicly identified the white Fiat that collided with Diana's car shows that they are unable or unwilling to conduct a thorough inquiry, no matter how many "millions of dollars" they have spent. Diana's death occurred 109 years to the day after the first murder attributed to the CLuM serial killer Jack the Ripper. The number 109 contains the digits of 19, a reminder of the 19-year Metonic cycle of the moon, another regulator of CLuM outrages. The Ripper's first victim was Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, killed on August 31, 1888. It is a little known fact, but the name "Polly" is a variant of the name "Mary" (see the note at the end of this article for a reference on this). The combinations "Mary Ann", or "Marianne", or "Pollyanna", etc., are common because St. Anne was the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary: "Mary Ann" simply means "Mary, daughter of Anne". As CLuM luck would have it, on October 1, 1993, a young girl named Polly Klaas was abducted from her house in Petaluma, CA, and killed. It is a little known fact, but Polly's full name was Polly Hannah Klaas. "Klaas", of course, is the Dutch version of "Nicholas". Therefore, Jack the Ripper's first victim, Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, had the same name form as Polly Hannah Klaas, or "Mary Ann Nicholas". Moreover, as CLuM luck would have it, Polly Klaas' mother is named Eve Nichol. Petaluma, CA, is located in Sonoma County, just north of San Francisco Bay. "SONoMA" is a Baconian cypher for "Mason". "San Francisco Bay" is an anagram for "Say Francis Bacon", a reminder of the very important CLuM Sir Francis Bacon, the author of "The New Atlantis" and one of the real authors of the Shakespearean works. Another landmark near Petaluma is the Jack London State Historical Park, a reminder of JACK the Ripper, the CLuM serial killer active in LONDON. Polly Hannah Klaas' murder happened on

From this point on the story this celestrial light seemed to be trying to tell me fell smoothly and effortlessly into place YOU DECIDE As i stared at the star chart , and read its name "Algols", it tweaked my memory of something i had read in one of Nostradamus's Quatrains, Angolmois In 1999 and seven months From the sky will descend a great terrifying King Who will resuscitate the great King ANGOLMOIS. Before and after, Mars reigns happily. Though not an exact spelling I figured i follow my intuiton and move on..."In 1999 and seven months ", now the seventh month to us is July but look at this. September -- the seventh month Middle English septembre Latin September Latin septem "seven" + -ber (adj. suffix) Latin september mensis "seventh month" So if you accept it, the first part of the riddle is solved. On to the next part of the riddle... "From the sky will descend a great terrifying King " As i continued my research on the Star Algol, I came across this interesting "coincidence".. it seems that Comet Lee will be crossing the celestrial heavens in the third week of September the seventh month..just north of the constellation Perseus , where the mighty King Algol resides So could Comet Lee be the terrifying king to descend from the sky and awaken , or resuscitate the great King angolmois or Algol Here is the most recent picture of Comet Lee and you can see to its southeast or actually west ,as everything is reversed in photos , The King Algol So is there to be some great celestrial happening in the third week of September as Comet Lee traverses the heavens and approaches the great star Algol.???.We will have to wait and see as the heavens seem to protect their secrets quite well but maybe this is the event Nostradamus was trying to clue us into..

I know this, but have never seen it explained in such a manner. Now, Walter, I lost your message to me about the Captain, but I have seen that info before. It matters not. When you begin trying to reform what has come out of this, you only empower it; you can not change it, for to change it you must begin again, and totally replace that which is in place in Washington, DC. Do you understand that? You must replace it, and that does not mean "voting" under the 15th Amendment! What is in place in Washington, DC, is a criminal enterprise; nothing more. A very organized criminal enterprise. David G. From: User [EMAIL PROTECTED] Abraham Lincoln's responsibility was to preserve and enforce the Law of the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the Chief Magistrate. Preservation of the Union? As President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln had a duty to abide by the limitations imposed by the Constitution of the United States. This he did not do. His actions within Maryland in the late spring of 1861 were not within the constituted duties of the Presidency. The President of the United States is not empowered to invade the States party to the Constitution. So what union was Abraham Lincoln preserving? The more perfect union constituted for the United States of America dissolved with the collapse of the Congress of the United States Assembled in December of 1861. With the termination of the Lincoln Administration in April of 1861, the Rump Congress of the United States embarked upon reconstructing the governments within the States of America. Not to preserve the Union, but to empower the Social Democracy. This Reconstruction is and has been ongoing since the first reconstruction Act passed over the Chief Magistrate's veto in March of 1867. The Military Occupant reconstructed the state Republics, and empowered its civil administrator this State with the constitutional codification of the Reconstruction Acts. This reconstruction of the United States of America was codified in April of 1868 with the adoption of the 14th Amendment under the barrel of a Gun. This Amendment empowered the Congress of the United States (Section 5) to dictate its polity from the shores of the Potomac, subverted the state Republics and empowered the Social Democracy. The United States operates as a commercial agency. In order to participate within its jurisdiction, an American must step into commerce. On July 13th, 1861, the Rump Congress of the United States empowered the Chief Magistrate to license people in commerce within the states in insurrection and obstruction of the laws of the United States. This licensing authority was further enhanced on October 6th, 1917, and March 9th, 1933. The Union of state Republics is the empowerment of the people under the Laws of Nature's God. The current polity ensconced on the shores of the Potomac is a commercial agency empowered under the barrel of the gun indenturing Americans with its publicly chartered privatized monetized debt service center. an Inhabitant upon the land eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/freedomfight http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Their IS NO SOLUTION WITHIN WASHINGTON, DC, POSSIBLE. You are not only wasting your time, you are empowering that which is defeating you. Their is one other item which needs to be added to this; I have been asked time and again, how can I be so sure that Christianity is "the True" Law, or religion, or whatever the question of the moment happens to be. Christianity is the only system of Law, His Law, which exists or can exist, which establishes a King (the authority to write Law), and from there all authority passes to the People, and from there, to their agents. All all "systems" first establish a hierarchy, then, in decending order, to the very bottom, where are found the people. You will always find that this is why Christianity is so hated by those who fancy themselves in charge. Someday, you may also find the difference in law and Law; where law is written by men, who then hire thugs to enforce THEIR law. Law, by Him, is self-enforcing. If you doubt this, see what your ignoring of His Law has done to you. David G. First let me say I think that the Royal house in England established its subjecting power in America. It has been doing that before and since the 'revolution'. It has to do it not by its Law but By God's LAW. Consent, exchange, contract... Their law kicks in when we consent. If our consent and actions bind us, according to God's LAW, we cannot get out with out their consent or we brake God's LAW. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Other wise we are simply held by pirates and to fight to free yourself is not revolution.. Note: "Those captured by pirates and robbers remain free." Because "Things captured by pirates and robbers do not change ownership." They must bind us according to God's LAW. England was closing the door to freedom for 500 years. When William the Conquerer defeated Harold his cousin at Hastings in 10 66 he obtained no more authority than Harold had originally, except for those free noblemen who were foolish enough to fight with Harold and lost. Many free noblemen of England did not support Harold in his trial by combat with his cousin and they kept their lands which were not entered into William's survey of Land and the Doomsday Book. But then America was discovered. It was the land that Brendan from Ireland had sought and discovered and claimed for the Lord in 400AD. He had called it, "The land promised to the Saints by God." Who was going to own this land? If Jesus was a King and Charles was a King both men could claim the Land in America. Please. Stay on point with me. Don't let theology sweep you away, Hang in there. When my GGGgradfather came here [early 1600's] he claimed land, so did the king's men, so did lots of men. Yes! The United States is in cohorts with the British kings, who are not British. Note that those kings of the British are the prince elector of the Holy Roman Empire. See treaties. The Holy Roman Empire recognized Jesus as a King. Their official Procurator said it three times and posted it for the World to see. The Kings of England recognize this proclamation and have published it over and over in the King James Version of the Bible. THAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS. WE WERE SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY REDEEMED. We have to physically and spiritually follow the Christ, The King, of a Christian Republic that has survived in the heart of the Roman Empire Since the days that Jesus walked among us. There is more to this America vs British Colony/US but this should be enough to Chew. Bellow is a post I sent in a response. to a British Colony Vs Free Country debate on another list. Trust be there is more going on here than the king's school system wants you to know about concerning the colonies at kings * British Colony Vs Free Country He said He said WOAH!! Let me add my too sense (Lyle) Your allusions here and below are that the King came to this country and conquered it. Obviously not true. The King never set foot on this continent, nor did he conquer it. He wrote Charters describing what he claimed to own. Pieces of paper. You make further allusions (illusions) below. (insert Gregory's two cents) Good point. It had taken almost 500 year for the crowns bind up and the land of Britain and enter it in the Doomsday Book when they discovered a whole new world. The foot thing is good. Possession is, as it were, the position of the foot. Possessio est quasi pedis positio. 5 Coke, 42. But actually he did his foot over to America.

[CTRL] Clinton's War Against Evil
-Caveat Lector- Clinton Blames Guns for Violence By LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Saying that the repeated mass murders of innocent Americans has been the most painful thing he has had to face in office, President Clinton on Saturday said the easy availability of guns bears as much or more responsibility as does human evil. Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, addressing the annual dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus, said that some have attempted to minimize the role of firearms in tragedies such as the murders Wednesday night of seven people in a church in Fort Worth, Texas and the suicide of the alleged gunman. ``Of course something horrible happened to that man's heart when he walked into that church in Texas. But we cannot use that as an excuse,'' Clinton said. He asserted that the solution is a sharing of responsibility and a refusal to duck facts, not a search for scapegoats or an attempt to blame all gun murders simply on human evil. ``The NRA (National Rifle Association) and that crowd has got to stop using arguments like this to avoid facing our shared responsibility,'' the president said. He said tragedies such as this year's spate of school shootings and the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City has made the search for answers imperative. ``I think the killing of innocent people en masse in America has been the most painful thing that (the vice president ) and I and our families have had to endure in discharging our duties for America,'' Clinton said. He called on the country '' to make this election year about assuming responsibility, not ducking it.'' In their back-to-back speeches, Gore raised the issue first. ``Too many hearts have been broken,'' he said, adding that some have tried to explain the killings ``by saying a sudden wave of evil has swept the county .'' ``My religious tradition says evil has always been with us and we need to meet evil with good,'' the vice president said. He said it is clear there is a pressing national need to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. ``We have to act and not just talk,'' Gore said. ``We want to move our feet and lift our hands and work together.''

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I've got an embyronic Paranoia web
site up, including a link to Konformist.com.
Also, I've been meaning to ask you for permission to excerpt a piece you
wrote a while back about JonBenet and ritual sacrifice. If we can use it, I
would of course put your website address and any other info at the end. It
would go in either the December or April issue of Paranoia. Thanks.
Al Hidell
Editor, PARANOIA: The Conspiracy Reader
http://members.aol.com/alhidell/paranoia/
Thanks for the link. A likewise will be up on my front page with my one week
delayed update of the site.
Of course you can excerpt the JonBenet piece. It will be a main piece of the
first Konformist book, "A Pack of Lies!!!: A Konformist Krap Kollection,"
which should be out in 2000.
Two recent updates on JonBenet:
1) The recent revelation that JonBenet appears to have been molested on
multiple occassions is old news to those who read The Konformist, though now
this claim is solidified. For those who want to pin this crime on Patsy
Ramsey (or, even worse, the other Ramsey child) must account for the evidence
of regular sexual penetration by an adult male penis. Hmm, wonder who it
could have belonged to?
2) Stephen Singular, in his first book since his investigation of the Simpson
case and LAPD deceit ("Legacy of Deception"), has written about the Jon-Benet
case with "Presumed Guilty". Despite the title, he is not an apologist for
the Ramsey parents. Indeed, he heard convincing evidence that Ramsey's
company Access Graphics (the Lockheed shell corporation) was involved in the
underground child pornography market. There is a reason he didn't
investigate it further though he suspected it would be true: if he himself
downloaded kiddie porn (which would have been neccesary to prove the case),
he could have been arrested for possessing illegal materials. Singular did
inform the Boulder authorities of the evidence, and they did not investigate
it. Further, he requested that he be given their authority to investigate it
further (so as to be shielded from prosecution.) They refused. Therefore,
one of the key allegations of suspicion that I raised in the Jon-Benet Ramsey
article was fully known by investigators, and given to them by a
well-respected source. Despite this, they did nothing.

[CTRL] Fw: British American Project - CFR/RIIA Study Group
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: roundtable [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, September 19, 1999 4:10 PM Subject: British American Project - CFR/RIIA Study Group Ever hear of the British American Project? The next British American Project meeting will be held in Harrogate, at the Majestic Hotel, 13-17 November. In 1997 Lobster Magazine, a British journal of intelligence, parapolitics, and state research published an article about the British American Project.The article identifies the groups administering the project as: The School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of the Johns Hopkins University, Washington DC, would administer the American side. The Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House, London, would serve a similar function in Britain. The School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) is a Council on Foreign Relations think-tank and spook training school, [see Foundations of War http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/2807/foundation.html ]. The SAIS has a branch in Red China that has a greater influence on Chinese policy then the Chinese do. A partial list of SAIS faculty who belong to the CFR has been added to the end of the Lobster magazine article. The Royal Institute of International Affairs is England's CFR sister organization. Serendipitously, the Council on Foreign Relations and Royal Institute of International Affairs were formally established at another Majestic Hotel in Paris on March 19, 1919, by a group of Rhodes's secret society members who attended the Paris Peace Conference as diplomats, members of the British Secret Service, or members of the first U.S. central intelligence agency the INQUIRY. Edward Mandell House, close personal advisor to President Woodrow Wilson, and the first U.S. National Security Advisor, hosted the meeting. Propaganda, is the effort to alter the picture to which men respond, to substitute one social pattern for another. Propaganda is used to create false reality worlds using sleight of mind. Psycho-political operations are propaganda campaigns. Strategic psycho-political operations focus propaganda at powerful individuals, or small groups of people capable of influencing public opinion or the government of a particular country. Tactical psycho-political operations focus propaganda at the masses by interference in specific events, their comments, and their appeals through mass communication media ( i.e. newspapers, radio, television, textbooks, educational material, art, entertainment, etc. ). Both forms of propaganda are used to manipulate public opinion to attain foreign policy goals in a given period. If the operations are designed to conceal both the operation and the sponsor the operation is clandestine. If the operations are designed to conceal only the sponsor the operation is covert. The CFR/RIIA has become so successful at scripting, directing, and implementing psycho-political operations that we are now living in an age of rationalized propaganda backed by a powerful press and technical media that consciously manipulates symbols and myths in a calculated manner to suit CFR/RIIA goals. High international tensions are whipped up with astonishing rapidity at the dictate of the controlling groups. Tensions meant to maximize profits of CFR/RIIA controlled medicine, munitions, media, food, and banking industries which profit most during periods of unrest and war. Illusions and delusions are deliberately imposed on large masses on an international scale to conceal real social conflicts of greater significance. The Secret Society of Cecil Rhodes used "discussion-groups" to generate material used in propaganda campaigns for shaping national policy and influencing public opinion. The Council on Foreign Relations, Royal Institute of International Affairs, and other secret-society branch organizations use "discussion-groups," and a more formalized program known as "study-groups" to this day. "Study-groups" are organized to investigate an important national policy issue. A designated expert prepares a draft statement and presents it to a group of fellow experts who often hold widely divergent views. The issue is discussed thoroughly, sometimes at several successive meetings, and the discussion recorded by a research secretary. A digest of the discussion and a position paper with a written analysis and policy conclusions credited to a single author is produced. Material generated is used to shape national policy and influence public opinion. The British American Project is nothing more than a Council on Foreign Relations/Royal Institute of Internal Affairs, sponsored study-group, meant to generate material for creating covert strategic, and tactical psycho-political operations for influencing public opinion to allow CFR/RIIA industries to maximize their profits at the expense of the public at large, and to further the CFR/RIIA goal of forming one world
[CTRL] JFK Jr. and the 13TH LINE
-Caveat Lector- JFK Jr. and the 13TH LINE People who are aware of the Luciferian Masonic Conspiracy instituted to help bring about the Empire of the Antichrist, a.k.a. the New World Order, know that geographic latitude and longitude play an important role in Conspiratorial productions. For example, JFK's ritual sacrifice was performed in Dallas, because that city is close to the N. 33 parallel: the 33rd degree is the highest degree of the Scottish Rite of Masonry. In a similar fashion, JFK, Jr., was killed and committed to the waters of the Atlantic close to the intersection of the N. 41 parallel and W. 71 meridian; summing up, 4 + 1 + 7 + 1 = 13, the most Masonically correct number. This intersection, southwest of Martha's Vineyard, is also close to the small island called No Mans Land. "No Mans" is a Baconian cypher for "Mason", i.e., Mason Land. JFK, Jr., and his public wife, Carolyn Bessette, were married on Cumberland Island, off the coast of Georgia. This island is close to the intersection of the N. 31 parallel and the W. 81 meridian; again, 3 + 1 + 8 + 1 = 13. Another important Conspiratorial spot nearby is Jekyll Island, GA. It was there that clandestine Luciferian Masonic (CLuM) Conspirators met to organize the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) known as the Federal Reserve System. These two geographical intersections are part of a line of similar intersections along the eastern seaboard, whose numbers add up to 13. From south to north, these intersections are: *** N. 31 parallel and W. 81 meridian, just mentioned. Off the coast of Georgia, close to the Florida border. *** N. 32 parallel and W. 80 meridian; 3 + 2 + 8 + 0 = 13. Off the coast of South Carolina, close to Charleston. Charleston is the seat of the Mother Council of the Masonic Scottish Rite for the whole world. The names of the Carolinas and Charleston are reminders of King Charles I of England, another CLuM sacrificial victim, decapitated by CLuM Brother Oliver Cromwell in 1649. Luciferian Masons are fascinated by decapitations and skulls: their predecessors, the Knights Templars, worshipped the Baphomet, a mysterious skull. The Yale-based Masonic-type secret society Skull and Bones keeps the skulls of Mexican and Native American revolutionaries in the Tomb, its on-campus headquarters in New Haven, CT Similarly, the Masonic-type German secret society Thule initiated Adolf Hitler in its ranks, who later organized the SS. The SS followed Masonic- type secret rituals and their emblem was the Skull and Bones, just like CLuM Brother George W. Bush's fraternity. Farther north there are more "13" intersections: *** N. 40 parallel and W. 72 meridian, off the south coast of Long Island, NY, not too far from where TWA 800 was deep-sixed by the CLuMs on July 17, 1996. Again, 4 + 0 + 7 + 2 = 13. *** N. 41 parallel and W. 71 meridian, southwest of Martha's Vineyard, not far from where JFK, Jr.'s plane was deep-sixed by the CLuMs on July 16, 1999. Again, 4 + 1 + 7 + 1 = 13. The ashes of all three sacrificial victims were deep-sixed there, too, in a big hurry. *** N. 42 parallel and W. 70 meridian, close to the sodomite resort of Provincetown, MA, on Cape Cod. CLuMs are great advocates of sodomy, since the Antichrist himself is of a dubious nature. The androgynous nature of the Antichrist is symbolized by the two interlocking triangles of the occult hexagram known as the Star of David, or Seal of Solomon, a prominent Masonic emblem. Again, 4 + 2 + 7 + 0 = 13. By connecting these intersections on a map, one draws a line stretching from the Atlantic coastal border of Florida and Georgia to the coastal border of Maine with the Canadian province of New Brunswick. This "13" line, therefore, encompasses the 13 original colonies and, later, states of New Atlantis, a.k.a. the U.S.A. (Back then, Maine was part of the territory of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.) What a CLuM "coincidence"! Examining this "13" line, one sees that it passes near Kitty Hawk, NC, the site of the Wright brothers' first flight. Later on, in 1932, the world- famous aviator, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, searched for his kidnapped baby son along this "13" line southwest of Martha's Vineyard, close to No Mans Land (Mason Land). As CLuM luck would have it, the Lindbergh family's original name back in Sweden was Mansson, another Baconian cypher for "No Mans". There is good reason to believe that the real grandfather of Col. Lindbergh was the Crown Prince of Sweden and later King Charles XV. Members of the Swedish royal family are prominent patrons of Masonry and the royal family itself is associated with the so-called Luciferian bloodline connected to the "Priory of Zion". Therefore, it seems that the Lindbergh baby, a likely Luciferian descendant, was offered as a "thanksgiving" sacrifice to Lucifer/Satan for the aviation successes of the Wright brothers and his father, Charley Mansson, a.k.a. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. As CLuM luck would have it,

But saying that what is, is and can't be changed is WRONG. "WE" ARE THE "SPIRIT", THE WAY, THE MIGHT SIGHTINGS -- -- Letter From Congressman Ron Paul - Important Congressman Ron Paul 837 W. Plantation Clute, TX 77531 1 800 RON PAUL Originally written September 17, 1997 9-17-99 We spoke with Michael Sullivan, Congressman Paul's Press Secretary, on 9-17-99. He asked us to correct the letterhead address and the original date of the letter, and explained that it is a two year old campaign letter that someone has transcribed and circulated on the net. We have made and noted those changes per his request. Dear Friend: The other day, I made a huge "gaffe" on national TV: I told the truth about the crimes of the U.S. government. As you can imagine, the ceiling fell in, and a couple of walls too. Congressmen are supposed to support the government, I was told. Oh, it's okay to criticize around the edges, but there are certain subjects a member of the House of Representatives is not supposed to bring up. But I touched the real "third-rail" of American politics, and the sparks sure flew. I was interviewed on C-SPAN's morning "Washington Journal," and I used the opportunity, as I do all such media appearances, to point out how many of our liberties have been stolen by the federal government. We must take them back. The Constitution, after all, has a VERY limited role for Washington, D.C. If we stuck to the Constitution as written, we would have: no federal meddling in our schools; no Federal Reserve; no U.S. membership in the UN; no gun control; and no foreign aid. We would have no welfare for big corporations, or the "poor"; no American troops in 100 foreign countries; no NAFTA, GATT, or "fast-track"; no arrogant federal judges usurping states rights; no attacks on private property; and no income tax. We could get rid of most of the cabinet departments, most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited. That system is called liberty. It's what the Founding Fathers gave us. Under liberty, we built the greatest, freest, most prosperous, most decent country on earth. It's no coincidence that the monstrous growth of the federal government has been accompanied by a sickening decline in living standards and moral standards. The feds want us to be hamsters on a treadmill -- working hard, all day long, to pay high taxes, but otherwise entirely docile and controlled. The huge, expensive, and out-of-control leviathan that we call the federal government wants to run every single aspect of our lives. Well, I'm sorry, but that's not America. It's not what the Founders gave us. It's not the country you believe in. It's not the country I believe in. So, on that TV interview, I emphasized not only the attacks on our property, but also the decline of our civil liberties, at the hands of the federal police. There are not supposed to be ANY federal police, according to the Constitution. Then I really went over the line. I talked about the Waco massacre.Bill Clinton and Janet Reno claim those 81 church members, including 19 children, burned down their own church and killed themselves, and good riddance. So they put the few survivors on trial, and threw them in prison for 40 years. We're not supposed to remember that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms -- talk about an unconstitutional agency -- rather than arrest David Koresh on his regular morning jog, called in the TV stations for a big publicity bonanza, and sent a swat team in black masks and black uniforms to break down his front door, guns blazing. They also sent in a helicopter gunship, to shoot at the roof of a church full of innocents. The Branch Davidians resisted, and after a heartless siege of almost two months, and after cutting off food, water, and electricity, and playing horrible rock and roll through huge speakers 24 hours a day, the feds sent in the tanks to crush the walls of the church, and inject poisonous CS gas. Now, CS gas is banned under the Paris Convention on Chemical Warfare. The U.S. could not use it in a war. But it could and did use it against American civilians. After the tanks did their work on the church, the place burst into flame, and all 81 people -- men, women, children, and babies--were incinerated in a screaming horror. Did some feds set the fire? Did the flammable CS gas ignite, since without electricity, the parishioners were using lanterns? Did a tank knock over a lantern, striking one of the bales of hay

These latest Clinton-related deaths appear to tie in to Foster's. Vince Foster's office was looted PRIOR to "official" investigation into it's contents. Those contents might have included a presidential order legally required for the U.S. Army's Delta Force to have been deployed against civilian targets.

There is NO RECORD of Vince Foster leaving the Whitehouse. see: http://www.accessone.com/~rivero/POLITICS/FOSTER_COVERUP/foster.html The Looting of Foster's office While the U.S. Park Police (a unit not equipped for a proper homicide investigation) studied the body, Foster's office at the White House was being looted. Secret Service agent Henry O' Neill watched as Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, Margaret Williams, carried boxes of papers out of Vincent Foster's office before the Park Police showed up to seal it. Amazing when you consider that the official identification of Vincent Foster's body by Craig Livingstone did not take place until 10PM! Speaking of Craig Livingstone, another Secret Serviceman saw him remove items from Vincent Foster's office in violation of the official seal. Witnesses also saw Bernard Nussbaum in Foster's office as well. Three witnesses noted that Patsy Thomason, director of the White House's Office of Administration, was desperate to find the combination to Vincent Foster's safe. Ms. Thomason finally opened the safe, apparently with the help of a special "MIG" technical team signed into the White House in the late hours. Two envelopes reported to be in the safe by Foster's secretary Deborah Gorham, addressed to Janet Reno and to William Kennedy III, were never seen again. When asked the next day regarding rumors of the safe opening, Mack McLarty told reporters Foster's office did not even have a safe, a claim immediately shot down by former occupants of that office. The next day, when the Park Police arrived for the official search of Vincent Foster's office, they were shocked to learn that Nussbaum, Thomason and Williams had entered the office. Conflicts channeled through Janet Reno's Department of Justice resulted in the Park Police merely sitting outside Foster's office while Bernard Nussbaum continued his own search of Foster's office. During this search, he opened and upended Vincent Foster's briefcase, showing it to be empty. Three days later, it would be claimed that this same briefcase was where the torn up suicide note was discovered. The boxes of documents removed from Foster's office by Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, Margaret Williams, was taken to the private residence area of the White House! Eventually, only 54 pages emerged. One set of billing records, under subpoena for two years, and thought to have originated in Foster's office, turned up unexpectedly in the private quarters of the White House, with Hillary's fingerprints on them! http://www.accessone.com/~rivero/POLITICS/FOSTER_COVERUP/hillprints.html So, who ordered the office looting? Bill Clinton was unavailable, being on camera with Larry King. But Hillary Clinton, who had only the day before diverted her planned return to Washington D.C. to Little Rock, was on the phone from Little Rock to someone at the White House in the moments before the looting took place.

[CTRL] Vince Foster murder: Federal Court unseals 511-page document charging obstruction of justice
Title: Foster death report sees professional 'hit' Court unseals 511-page document charging obstruction of justice Dave Hartleyhttp://www.Asheville-Computer.comhttp://www.ioa.com/~davehart | | | | WEDNESDAYSEPTEMBER 151999 Foster death report sees professional 'hit' Court unseals 511-page document charging obstruction of justice By Sarah Foster© 1999 WorldNetDaily.com A three-judge federal panel yesterday unsealed a 511-page report, submitted by Kenneth Starr grand jury witness Patrick Knowlton in June, which -- in the view of its authors -- presents incontrovertible evidence of conspiracy and cover-up by the Justice Department and the Office of the Independent Counsel in connection with their investigations into Vincent Foster's death and counters the official conclusion that the top White House official "committed suicide by gunshot in Fort Marcy Park on July 20, 1993." At the same time, the panel -- headed by David B. Sentelle, with Richard D. Cudahy and Peter T. Fay -- denied Knowlton's request that this report be attached as an amendment to the Interim Report (the "Starr Report") on the investigation of Foster's death, which was released Oct. 10, 1997. There has been no final report. The just-released document is certain to fuel the ongoing controversy surrounding the administration's scenario of Foster's death. It is a point-by-point analysis and refutation of the 114-page, double-spaced, Starr Report, overpowering it in both size and substance. Knowlton's report is, in fact, an expansion of an earlier 20-page filing, also by Knowlton -- comprised of a nine-page letter and 11 pages of exhibits -- which had been accepted by the same panel as an attachment to the Starr Report. Knowlton filed that report in September 1997, a month before Starr's Report was released. The statute authorizing creation of the Office of Independent Counsel allows persons "named in the report" to request permission to attach comments to reports. Over strenuous objections by the independent counsel, the Special Division of the U.S. Court of Appeals -- the same panel of judges which authored yesterday's ruling -- granted that permission and ordered the Office of the Independent Counsel (OIC) to include Knowlton's 20 pages in the appendix to the Starr Report. John Clarke, Knowlton's attorney -- who has worked tirelessly on the case -- discussed the significance of today's ruling and the report with WorldNetDaily, portions of which were provided by fax. "The report has been under seal," he said. "That means it had to be kept secret until a decision was made by the court. Even the fact that we filed it was kept secret. "We asked them (the court) for a couple of things," Clarke continued. "We asked them to lift the seal as soon as they made their decision, which they did. And we also asked them to substitute it (the report) for our 20-page filing. They didn't do that; they did not order it attached to Ken Starr's report." But not because they rejected the evidence, Clarke is quick to note. "What they said was they didn't have jurisdiction to grant relief," he explained. "They didn't rule against us on the merits of what we were asking; they just said that they didn't have jurisdiction under the law to give this relief." Knowlton charges Starr's investigation simply added "another layer to the 6-year-old ongoing Justice Department cover-up" -- a cover-up that began the night of the death and continued through subsequent investigations including an initial 16-day examination by the FBI and two probes by the two independent counsels -- a reference not only to Starr's work, but to that of Special Counsel Robert Fiske, whose report was issued June 30, 1994. Knowlton's two reports are built on charges developed in a civil suit he filed Oct. 25, 1996, charging FBI agents, U.S. Park Police employees and others with obstruction of justice, witness intimidation, and personal harassment. An amended complaint was filed last October adding defendants and additional information. The civil rights suit was dismissed Sept. 9. Today Knowlton was expected to file a motion to reconsider that ruling while he prepares to appeal the ruling of John Garrett Penn to the

[CTRL] ReligioTerrorism In Russia
-Caveat Lector- Muslim warns of Moscow war Mark Franchetti Moscow WITH a bloody wave of terrorist bombings adding immeasurably to President Boris Yeltsin's political woes, a Muslim rebel leader has for the first time confirmed a link between one of the explosions in Moscow and Islamic separatists fighting the Russian army in Dagestan. Shamil Basayev, a veteran of the separatist war in Chechnya, has said comrades in arms from neighbouring Dagestan planted the first bomb that exploded in a shopping mall behind Red Square on August 31, killing one person and injuring 40. Since then nearly 300 people have died in four other bombings that have provoked fear and panic in the capital and plunged the country into the most menacing turmoil it has faced in the chaotic decade since communism's demise. On Friday, Moscow police named a Chechen, Achimes Gochiyayev, 29, as the head of the group responsible for the bombings. He is said to have rented space in the two blocks of flats bombed. To victims of the carnage it may no longer matter who was to blame. "I cannot describe the horror of it," said a Russian rescue worker fighting back tears at the scene of a blast on Monday in which 116 people, including several children, were killed in their sleep. To Kremlin leaders struggling for survival in the run-up to elections, however, the arrest of suspects has become as much of a political imperative as winning the war in Dagestan, where a rebel army led by Chechen guerrillas is fighting the Russian army. "These explosions will go on," Basayev is quoted as saying in Prague's Lidove Noviny, "because [Dagestani] people who had their relatives, mothers and children killed for nothing will kill out of revenge." His chilling warning coincided with reports from Dagestan that 1,500 rebels were massing for another attack on Russian forces this weekend, contradicting Moscow's much-trumpeted assurances that the "terrorists" were all but defeated. Yesterday the Russian air force pounded rebel positions inside Chechnya. An unconfirmed report said Russian motorised units had crossed into the breakaway republic, the first such incursion into Chechnya since 1996. The crisis, which threatens to embroil Russia's generals in a campaign as punishing as the ill-fated one in Chechnya in 1995, has revived widespread doubts about Yeltsin's fitness to govern, prompting rumours that he may soon resign - or offer a job to Alexander Lebed, the hulking former paratrooper turned politician whose mediation in the previous conflict is widely credited with having ended the bloodshed there. With parliamentary elections scheduled for December and the presidential election in June, Yuri Luzhkov, the ambitious mayor of Moscow, and Vladimir Putin, the latest in a long line of Russian prime ministers as Moscow has reeled from one crisis to another, have staked their political futures on solving the crisis. Yet in a city renowned for its love of conspiracy theories, they have struggled to reassure the public. Most Russians believe that the terror campaign is linked to Russia's long-running problems in the Caucasus region, the people of which are routinely blamed for the crime and chaos in Moscow. The three prime suspects named by Russian police are all of Muslim extraction. With Basayev's guerrillas - some of them linked to former Afghan rebels who humiliated the Soviet Red Army into retreating from Kabul - seeking to merge the Russian republics of Dagestan and neighbouring Chechnya into an independent Islamic state, Russian security forces had warned that rebels might bring their war to Moscow. Yet when the bombing began, it was wildly rumoured that Russian security forces might somehow be to blame. According to one unlikely theory, a power-crazed Yeltsin was eager for any pretext to impose a state of emergency and cancel elections. Basayev, a bearded Chechen warlord who is co-ordinating rebel operations in Dagestan, may have put such speculation to rest. He has long been a thorn in the side of the Kremlin, inspiring terror among the Russian troops routed in Chechnya. He famously humiliated Moscow by taking 1,200 hostages in southern Russia at the height of the Chechen war. Now he is fighting in Dagestan. Alongside him is Khattab, an Arab militant famed for a devastating mountain ambush he executed against a Russian military convoy in Chechnya in 1996. He takes no prisoners: more than 100 soldiers were killed, and video tapes of the attack were later sold in the markets of Grozny, the Chechen capital. Known as the "Black Arab", Khattab is widely suspected of having links with Osama Bin Laden, the Saudi dissident financier blamed for last year's bombings of American embassies in Africa. Russian intelligence sources suspect the hand of Bin Laden in the Dagestani rebel campaign and believe he may have helped to fund secret terrorist training camps in Chechnya. Khattab has denied responsibility for the blasts. But Basayev seemed eager to implicate

-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: P.R.Sarkar's Law of Social Cycles 1/5 Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 00:20:39 -0100 From: Nurev Ind Research [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Nurev Independent Research BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following are encapsulations of the important points ( as I see them ) of P.R.Sarkar's - Law of Social Cycles. I have never read Sarkar directly. I'm not sure that he is available in English. What I know, I know through the writings of Dr. Ravi Batra the economist. Having come from the left, and having always kept a wary eye on the doings of Capitalists and Militarists, I immediatly reached a state of sympathetic resonance with Ravi Batra's description of Sarkar's explanation of historic cycles. See what you think. --Joshua2 THE FOUR SOCIAL CLASSES Most social phenomena are related to human nature.Sarkar argues that even though most people have common goals and ambitions, the methods of achieving their objectives may differ from person to person, depending on inner qualities of the individual. Most of us seek living comforts and social prestige. But some try to attain them by developing intllectual skills, some by physical skills, and some by accumulating wealth. Finally, some people have little ambition in life, and they form a class by themselves Thus, society is basically composed of four types of people, each endowed with a different frame of mind. People have common objectives, but their modus operandi differs. Some persons, born with superior bodily strength, excel in physical skills requiring stamina, courage and vigor. Such people are usually employed in occupations involving physical risks. Sarkar calls them persons of warrior mentality. In his view, soldiers, police, firefighters, athletes, skilled blue collar workers, and the like belong to the class of warriors in the sense that all these occupations require physical skills. Thus, anyone who tries to solve his problems with the help of might and muscle can be said to have a warrior turn of mind. There is another type of person who lacks the physical energy of the warrior but is endowed with a relatively superior intellect. Being so endowed, h/s tries to develop mental skills to do well in society. To Sarkar, everyone who tries to solve their problems with their brain rather than brawn is an itellectual. His use of the term is much broader than generally conceived. To him, not just philosophers, writers, and scholars, but lawyers, physicians, poets, engineers, scientists, white collar workers, and priests are intellectuals because they all utilize their minds rather than muscle power to attain their goals. There is another type of person who, according to Sarkar, strives to accumulate wealth to achieve what is generally regarded as the good life. Such people are also bright, but their minds run mainly after money. They are smarter than the warrior type but not as intelligent as the intellectual. Yet they are usually mor affluent than the other two. Such people are called acquisitors, because virtually all their propensities are engaged in amassing wealth. To them, money is all that matters in life. It alone is the key to success and prosperity. Merchants, bankers, moneylenders, businessmen, and landlords generally belong to the class of acquisitors. While other classes seek wealth to enjoy material goods, the acquisitor generally covets money for its own sake. Finally there is the fourth type of person who is altogether different from the other three. He is the unskilled worker or the physical laborer. He lacks the vigor of the warrior, the brilliance of the intellectual, and the accumulating instinct of the acquisitor. He is also lacking in the high ambition of the other three. His level of education is relatively low, and he is usually deficient in marketable skills. Because of these handicaps the unskilled worker is, and has always been exploited by the rest of society. He does the work deemed dirty by others, and is the poorest among all classes. Farm workers and unskilled factory workers generally belong to the class of physical laborers. The laboring class is simply composed of people who perform physical labor by choice, or because they are unable to acquire technical skills.They lack the ambition, initiative, and drive to succeed in the world; seldom do they shine in society. These then, are the four classes which exist in every society and have existed since ancient times. Sarkar differs sharply from those who define classes on ecconomic grounds - on the basis of income and wealth. Sarkar does not neglect the ecconomic aspect, but to him it is only one component among many. Class devisions, in his view, persist because of inherent differences in human nature. Thus every civilization, which is what a mature society is, consists of four classes, each comprising people reflecting the predominance of a certain type of mind. Although individual behavior might

-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: P.R.Sarkar's Law of Social Cycles 2/5 Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 00:23:59 -0100 From: Nurev Ind Research [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Nurev Independent Research BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A society evolves over time in terms of four distinct eras. Sometimes warriors, sometimes intellectuals, and sometimes acquisitors dominate the social and political scene. Laborers never hold the reins ( this was Marx's mistake- J2 ), but at times the ruling class becomes so self-centered and currupt that a large majority of the people are reduced to poverty. The general public, engaged mostly in making a living, has then little time left for the finer aspects of life. Such a time may be called the age of laborers. No single group however, can exercise social supremacy forever. What is more interesting, as well as intriguing, is that the movement of society from one epoch to another follows a definite pattern. Specifically, in the development of every civilization, ancient or modern, Oriental or occidental, the era of laborers is followed by the era warriors, the era of warriors by the era of intellectuals, and the era of intellectuals by the era of acquisitors culminating in a social revolution - this is Sarkar's law of social cycles. Just as human evolution is indisputable, so are social cycles an inevitable natural phenomenon, where social supremacy shifts from one class to another, from the collectivity of one type of mind to another. Thus, underneath the seemingly haphazard change in society lies the invisible but unmistakable imprint of nature. Social evolution goes hand in hand with human evolution. THE ERA OF LABORERS How do we recognize the era of laborers? The laboring society is one that suffers from complete lack of guidance, leadership, and authority; one where the so called leaders become so egocentric and greedy that the majority of people, following in their footsteps , display a mentality ruled by instinctive behavior, greed, and total self concern. The era of laborers, then, is characterized by near anarchy, by a lack of social order. Family ties are not binding, people scorn higher values and the finer things in life, morals are extremely loose, crime is rampant, and materialism permeates society to the core. All laborer societies in ancient times were primitive, and remained primitive until some warriors emerged and wrested the leadership into their own hands. However, later laborer eras were actually governed by acquisitors and can be properly called acquisitor / laborer eras. A laborer today is one with low initiative and drive relative to people of other classes. And for this reason the laboring class is exploited as much today as in the past. Its toil is still indispensable to the survival of any society, but ruling classes are taking advantage of it everywhere in the world. The distinctive feature of a laborer society today would be the open disregard of governmental authority and law by its dominant members ( the rich and their corporations-J2 ). Thus, government may exist in a contemporary laborer society, but its rule would not be respected; violent crime would become rampant, with people living in fear.Today, the weakening of family bonds would be reflected in the lack of discipline of children and their disrespect for parental authority, in frequent divorces and marital violence, and the heartless removal of the elderly from the family. Women had a lowly status in the distant past; in a contemporary laborer society, such inferior status would be manifested in a high incidence of prostitution, pornography, and general exploitation of women by men. In short, if these characteristics are prevalent in a society, it is unmistakably languishing in the laborer era. A close scrutiny of history reveals that all civilizations occasionally pass through such periods, when for example, they are beset by internal fissures or external assaults. ACTUALLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EXTINCT AND EXISTING CIVILIZATIONS IS SIMPLY THAT THE FORMER WERE OVERWHELMED BY THE ILLS OF THE LABORER ERA, WHEREAS THE LATTER OVERCAME THEM TO RESUME THEIR FORWARD MARCH OF EVOLUTION.

-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: P.R.Sarkar's Law of Social Cycles 3/5 Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 00:27:25 -0100 From: Nurev Ind Research [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Nurev Independent Research BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] THE ERA OF WARRIORS The era of warriors, in terms of political and social structure, is diametrically opposite to the era of laborers. In the warrior age the army, headed by a dictator--king, emperor, president-- controls the government as well as society. Political authority is centralized in the form of an absolute government, people are highly diciplined, family ties are morally binding, women are well respected, and so on. Intellectuals and acquisitors enjoy some respect in the warrior age, although they have little say in governance. But laborers perform the physical labor for the warrior class, and in the closing stage of this period, as in that of evey other era, they are mercilessly exploited. However, at the dawn of the warrior age, the ruler respects their contributions and treats them with care and compassion. Laborers, though physically strong, lack the enterprising and adveturous spirit of the warriors, who use their physical skills, to advance in life, to excel within thier circle. A warrior believes in physical discipline, in firm authority over his family, and when it comes to power, his family extends to the entire population living in his domain. A warrior ruler believes in authoritarian government, in absolute power. That is why the warrior eras have always been characterized by political centralization, by the divine right of kings, and by dictators. In time the warrior rulers become highly authoritarian, and lose much of their early benevolence. Their domains are expanded greatly; in the past, many tribes were unified after lengthy warfare into vast empires headed by the conqueror. In the holocausts the warriors unleashed, laborers were the helpless participants. In most warrior societies, the bloody wars of conquest portend the end of warrior domination and the birth of an era of intellectuals, who, represented by the priesthood or court ministers, came to power in every civilization at the end of the warrior age. THE ERA OF INTELLECTUALS The despotic governments of the warrior age were fundamentally unstable, for nothing based on fire and sword can command obedience from the people for long. For that reason, absolute rulers felt the need for justifications to support their arbitrary rule. In this they were ably assisted by the intellectuals, who devised cunning theories to justify the ruler's absolute authority over his people. Thus were born such concepts as infallibility of monarchs and the divine right of kings. That is why in the heyday of the warrior age the intellectuals enjoyed a social status second only to warriors. And when the authority of absolute rulers declined as a result of endless wars, the leadership vacuum could be filled only by men of knowledge who alone commanded enough respect and authority at the time. Everywhere we find that intellectuals came to power in the aftermath of protracted warfare. In the West, for instance, the Catholic Church rose to primacy after the fall of the militaristic Roman Empire. The intellectual is endowed with foresight and keenness of mind. In general an intellectual is cautious and pragmatic; h/she relishes comfort but not at the cost of physical labor. Consequently, the intellectual attains power only by defeating the warrior in a battle of wits. Intellectuals rule indirectly-- through their control over the warrior ruler who alone can summon the might to keep order in society. Whenever and wherever the intellectuls perceived that the time had come, they devised new dogmas rationalizing their hold over the people. After outwitting the warrior, the intellectuals then set out to inject baseless fears and prejudices in other classes as well. Once the ruler was won over, it was just a matter of time before the rest of society yielded to their self serving doctrines. Thus we find that in nearly every civilization the people were once caught in the stranglehold of power exercised by priests, court ministers, or other manipulators surrounding the ruler. The structure of government in the era of intellectuals appears to change little from that prevailing in the warrior age, except that now, because of the weakness of the ruler, the real authority is exercised by someone behind the scenes. Yet the intellectuals need the warriors to maintain their control over the general public, and, therefore, the government is now somewhat decentralized. The apparent ruler is no longer absolute, nor is the indirect ruler. [R.B.] DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: P.R.Sarkar's Law of Social Cycles 4/5 Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 00:39:27 -0100 From: Nurev Ind Research [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Nurev Independent Research BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] THE ERA OF ACQUISITORS Nothing irrational or illogical can endure forever. The web in which the intellectuals caught the rest of society began to loosen as other classes slowly saw through their manipulations. Some elements within the intellectual class itself began to question the priests' intentions. Not only the elaborate rituals but also the luxury and corruption of the priesthood came under fire. Among the intellectuals themselves there also occured a good deal of argument and doctrinal battles, and tose who were thus defeated started accumulating wealth to compensate for their loss. Similarly, some warriors also followed that same route. In this way, another mentality evolved in human beings; another class, one obsessed with money-- the acquisitive mind. As a result of all these developments, the power base slowly drifted toward the wealthy class of acquisitors, and thus began the acquisitive age. In all civilizations, the acquisitive class consisted of the rich, belonging to such diverse groups as landlords, money lenders and merchants. No longer was it enough to have a keen intellect to attain comforts and political power. Instead, social prominence rested on one's wealth. An acquisitor differs from an intellectual mainly in the way he uses his intellect. The latter, while interested in comfortable living and material acquisition, is inclined to intellectual persuits for their own sake; he likes theorizing about the world. The acquisitor will have none of this; his intellect is obsessed with amassing, not just enjoying wealth. It is this mentality that reigns during the acquisitive era. Yet the intellectuals have an important role to play. They now help the acquisitors stay in power by doing what they do best-- devising dogmas that, in return for some compensation, justify the supremacy of the ruling class. This they accomplish, as always, in a way that lures the gullible-- by concealing thier support for the acquisitors' primacy behind proclamations of individual rights, liberty, and justice.In reality, however, such lofty principles are openly violated. They are usually observed only when it serves the interests of the affluent. Once the intellectuals give in, warriors and laborers also perform services for the rich. Thus in an acquisitive age, ALL OTHER CLASSES SUBMIT TO THE WEALTHY, who then CONTROL THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION -- land, factories, capital. Feudalism, and capitalism are two pointed examples of acquisitive eras in Western civilization. Of all forms of government, the one loved by the acquisitor is that in which the central authority is weakest. In the warrior era this is impossible. In the intellectuals' era, the central power is not so strong, but the rigid social codes that the intellectuals contrive to control people keep a tight leash on would-be acquisitors. That is why one finds that the acquisitive era, especially as it matured, was accompanied by a high degree of decentralized political authority in every civilization. A centralized system can, if it suits the purpose, force the rich to share their wealth with the poor, and no one is more aware of this risk than the acquisitors. Therefore, whenever the wealthy hold the reins, the system of government as well as the administrative apparatus is decentralized over time ( new federalism - J2 ). One distressing feature of the epoch of the acquisitor is that the acquisitive mentality eventually infects all sections of society. Attitudes of the ruling class do not spread so much, do not become so pervasive, in other eras; but in the age dominated by the wealthy, other groups ultimately submit to the allure of money. Everything is commercialized as a result-- Music, art, Literature, sports. Crime also begins to flourish. A general disregard for the rule of law developed in all acquisitive periods, plaguing the public in every civilization. Family ties eroded; noblemen kept harems; divorce and prostitution increased. Prostitution undergoes a remarkable groth in the acquisitive age. Those who have money to burn are able to corrupt poverty stricken women. And ONCE THE RULING CLASS CASTS OFF MORAL SCRUPLES, other classes are quick to follow suit. As a consequence, MORAL DEGENERATION COMES TO PERVADE THE ENTIRE SOCIETY. Erosion of family ties, excessive stress on individualism, and a general lack of social discipline spring inevitably from a decentralized political structure. AS TIME PASSES, INCREASING AMOUNTS OF WEALTH END UP IN THE HANDS OF THE RICH, and the acquisitive era gradually drifts toward the lawlessness of the laborer age. Eventually things become so wretched that angry warriors and intellectuals rise in rebellion ( Indonesia, and soon to be Russia .--J2 )

-Caveat Lector- Original Message Subject: P.R.Sarkar's Law of Social Cycles 5/5 Date: Sun, 19 Sep 1999 00:52:10 -0100 From: Nurev Ind Research [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Nurev Independent Research BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] THE PROCESS OF SOCIAL CHANGE Sarkar's law of social cycles states that power and influence shift from one class to another in accordance with a certain pattern. Questions come to mind at this point. First, is the change from one era to another smooth and peaceful, or is it violent and marked by bloodshed? Second, does the rise and fall of a class occur in perceptible stages within each era? A close analysis of civilizations reveals that during any era the dominant class remains on top for at least two-thirds of that period. for instance, if an intellectuals' era lasted for three hundred years, one would find that during that period intellectuals ruled for at least two hundred years and other groups for at most one hundred years. Because of overlapping transitional periods, one may not be able to recognize a particular epoch of any society. The fact that nothing moves in a straight line does present difficulties. But a serious student should be able to see where a society stands at any moment in time. The following points should be borne in mind in the study of history: 1) In any society spread over several regions, one should first identify the most important region. For instance, in Western civilization, which is spread among many nations, America today is the most influential country,. Since the U.S. is now passing through the acquisitive / laborer age, which is marked by high crime, extreme materialism, generally loose morals, and excessive individualism, we can say that the entire Western world is in this age. It is possible that some regions of a society may differ from the most important region. But that is not significant. What counts is the dominant mentality in the dominant region of a society. For instance, Canada, another member of Western civilization, is also in the acquisitive age , but it does not suffer from high crime. ( This was written in 1986- as Canada moves deeper and faster into the Acquisitive /Laborer era via NAFTA, the crime aspect is comming to resemble the U.S. on a smaller scale.-- J2 ) However, the character of Western society as a whole is determined not by the ruling mentality in Canada, but by that in the United States. 2) There may be more than one important region in a society at any given time. Then the class ruling in the majority of such regions determines the character of that society. 3) Once dominant regions in a society have been identified , the next step is to see which group is in power in those regions. Normally one should be able to pinpoint the class controling the government either directly or indirectly. That is, one should be able to see if warriors, intellectuals, or acquisitors command pollitical power. For instance, a centralized government with absolute authority usually means that either warriors or intellectuals are at the helm. If it is not clear which group dominates politics, one should examine the ideology popular in the society. Does it favor a warrior attitude of adventure and fearlessness, or an intellectual's otherworldliness and preference for theory over action, or an acquisitor's materialism over the intellectual or adventurous persuits of mind? 4) Another way to identify an era in society is to observe what the average person admires most, which careers earn the greatest status, what the popular culture glorifies. Does the common man seek a career in the army, or does he want to become a poet, priest, or statesman, or does he aspire to be a big landlord, banker, merchant, or businessman? In any society the profession of the ruling class is the one most sought by the public. In a warrior age, the average man generally dreams of becomming an army officer. In an era of intellectuals, he aspires to become an infuential thinker, a theologian, or a high placed pollitical adviser. In an acquisitive age, he seeks to become a merchant, businessman, landlord, or financier. In a laborer age, people usually become lazy, extremely materialistic, and greedy. They want to become wealthy without working hard. Whereas in all phases of civilization, society consists of four broad classes, AT THE END OF THE ACQUISITIVE ERA ONLY TWO REMAIN: ACQUISITORS AND LABORERS-- ( Two tiered economies. Haves have nots. - J2 ) warriors and intellectuals have been reduced to the laborering class by the extreme concentration of wealth. For a long time in the acquisitive era, the standard of living remains high and the other classes make their living by providing services to the affluent. For a while, the entire social order works to support the dominance of the rich. The concentration of wealth continues apace, but since material resources available to society are limited, the acquisitors grow richer and
[CTRL] Danforth / Waco
-Caveat Lector- Boston Globe The cult of war By James Carroll, 09/14/99 Former Senator John Danforth, defining the purpose of his Waco investigation, distinguishes between bad judgments and bad actions. Only the latter, he says, are his concern. Danforth's wish to limit the scope of an investigation is welcome, but the distinction seems all too facile. When bad judgment infects a government as powerful as ours, bad actions can be inevitable. Waco is one example, and the disaster unfolding in East Timor is another. A similar failure of judgment in action underlies them both. The government's mistake at Waco transcends, but is related to, the issues of whether ''military style'' flammable tear-gas canisters were fired at the Branch Davidian compound and whether that fact was covered up by the FBI. The profound act of bad judgment that led to those alleged bad actions was the prior decision to militarize government curtailment of the Koresh commune in the first place. Once a siege was set with the massing of fatigue-clad agents, on-scene advisers from an elite military commando unit, buzzing helicopters, armed vehicles, and a tank, what should have been a civilian law enforcement operation morphed into an instance of martial law. The initial purpose behind this show of ''overwhelming force,'' to use the phrase made famous by Colin Powell, may have been to intimidate David Koresh, but it was the mind-set of the federal agents that seems to have been most powerfully influenced by the staging of the siege. They stopped thinking like civilian law officers, whose purpose is to maintain order with a minimal use of force, and began thinking like soldiers who, once in combat, do whatever it takes to win. Once the martial drumbeat began, negotiators' efforts at persuasion had to seem untrustworthy to the besieged and all too soft to the besiegers. Soldiers know, perhaps better than police, that the law of critical mass applies to the mustering of arms: Once an overwhelming force is fully deployed, it carries its own momentum to be used, whether wisely or not. By the time Janet Reno was presented with the decision of whether to attack the Davidians, the pressures to do so were probably irresistible. As Colin Powell would be the first to say, don't set a siege unless you want a battle. A democratic society necessarily distinguishes between police and military functions precisely because in conditions of war, regard for civil liberties is an inevitable first casualty. Another is the principle of accountability to those outside the body of war makers. The Waco case, with the FBI behaving like an army at war both during the siege and in subsequent investigations, seems to have involved both abuses. When law enforcement becomes defined as war, as in the war on drugs; when police departments assemble arsenals appropriate to heavy combat; when traditional blue uniforms are commonly traded in for fatigues and jack-boots; when cops become commandos, an ultimate and prior bad judgment can lead increasingly to the bad action of government violence. The militarization of law enforcement, from federal to local levels, has infected this country like a virus. Waco is not the disease but a symptom. Even more disastrous has been the militarization of American foreign policy, and the most egregious example of this has long been Indonesia. During the Cold War, US policy makers turned a blind eye to the diabolical character of the Suharto regime and instead armed it to the teeth for strategic but also economic reasons. For more than a generation, the American arms industry made a fortune off Suharto. When his army seized East Timor in 1975, launching a war in which a third of its population died, we ignored it for the sake of our larger purposes - stopping Communism and fueling the arms race. But by the time we stopped Communism, the momentum of militarization continued, both in Jakarta, where, though Suharto fell, the army did not, and in Washington, where the Pentagon continued to favor the warlords. ''Pentagon reluctant to isolate Indonesia'' read a Globe headline a few days ago. Even this week, Defense Department officials opposed the military aid cutoff ordered by President Clinton, a belated but proper effort to influence events in East Timor. Now the ''bad actions'' of Indonesia's criminal military are on display for all to see, but they flow from a prior act of American bad judgment, the creation and on-going support of an Indonesian military whose overwhelming force has been directed only at domestic opposition or the illegally occupied East Timorese. The monster at large in East Timor this week was born in the United States. America must wake up to what it has become. We replaced our Cold War mortal enemy with ourselves. We are enthralled with the ethos of weaponry at every level in our culture. We define power through gunsights - children do it on city streets, but so do the occupants of paneled rooms in Washington.

KNUTSON .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Saying that the repeated mass murders of innocent Americans has been the most painful thing he has had to face in office, President Clinton on Saturday said the easy availability of guns bears as much or more responsibility as does human evil. Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, addressing the annual dinner of the Congressional Black Caucus, said that some have attempted to minimize the role of firearms in tragedies such as the murders Wednesday night of seven people in a church in Fort Worth, Texas and the suicide of the alleged gunman. ``Of course something horrible happened to that man's heart when he walked into that church in Texas. But we cannot use that as an excuse,'' Clinton said. He asserted that the solution is a sharing of responsibility and a refusal to duck facts, not a search for scapegoats or an attempt to blame all gun murders simply on human evil. ``The NRA (National Rifle Association) and that crowd has got to stop using arguments like this to avoid facing our shared responsibility,'' the president said. He said tragedies such as this year's spate of school shootings and the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City has made the search for answers imperative. ``I think the killing of innocent people en masse in America has been the most painful thing that (the vice president ) and I and our families have had to endure in discharging our duties for America,'' Clinton said. He called on the country '' to make this election year about assuming responsibility, not ducking it.'' In their back-to-back speeches, Gore raised the issue first. ``Too many hearts have been broken,'' he said, adding that some have tried to explain the killings ``by saying a sudden wave of evil has swept the county .'' ``My religious tradition says evil has always been with us and we need to meet evil with good,'' the vice president said. He said it is clear there is a pressing national need to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. ``We have to act and not just talk,'' Gore said. ``We want to move our feet and lift our hands and work together.''

Sincerely, Neil Brick From http://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/1999/0914.html#anchor596920 Top Mid-Columbia stories for Sept. 14, 1999 State, UW apologize for radiation tests By The Associated Press and the Herald staff The state and the University of Washington have apologized for any harm that may have been done to Walla Walla prison inmates whose testicles were bombarded with radiation in a Cold War experiment. The apology is part of a settlement of a $5 million class-action lawsuit filed in 1996. Details of the settlement are confidential until it is approved by U.S. District Judge Robert Whaley later this month, lawyers for both sides said in a joint statement to a Spokane newspaper. The experiments were conducted in the 1960s on 63 Washington State Penitentiary inmates by Dr. C. Alvin Paulsen of UW. Paulsen did the research under an Atomic Energy Commission contract to study radiation's effects on fertility. Hanford was one factor in prompting the experiments. A 1962 Hanford radiation flash led to testicular problems in three workers. That highlighted that little knowledge existed then on radiation's effects on sperm generation. The state Department of Corrections allowed Paulsen to use prisoners for the experiments until March 1970, when the tests were ordered stopped by the head of the department's research division. "The plaintiffs allege that the research involved improper human radiation experimentation," the statement says. "The University of Washington and the Department of Corrections deny all liability but nevertheless regret that the research may have caused the alleged harm and concerns that the prisoners have expressed in their lawsuit." The settlement will include cash payments to a number of prisoners or their estates, depending on how many make valid claims, said lawyer Bradley Keller of Seattle, who worked on the plaintiffs' case. Several prisoners, including lead plaintiff Robert White of Spokane, said they developed severe health problems from the experiments, including infertility. The experiments, which included a similar program at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, were condemned in 1995 by a Clinton administration review panel. Of the 63 original participants, some 23 had died by the time the defendants were ordered in 1997 to release a list of men who were subjects of the experiments. Whaley earlier dismissed two Hanford contractors - General Electric Co. and Battelle - plus the federal government, which paid for and administered the experiments, from the lawsuit. General Electric used to be Hanford's lead contractor. And Battelle took over operating Pacific Northwest Laboratory in 1965 from General Electric - inheriting a technical support role in those experiments. Hanford documents from that time indicated Battelle was uncomfortable with the experiments. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

The trooper says he tried to share some of the information with reporters back in 1993, but most weren't interested. Even shockmeister Stern and his jaded K-Rock entourage seemed surprised by some of what Patterson had to say, as the 32-year law enforcement veteran told listeners one startling insider account after another. How much did Hillary know about her husband's Arkansas sexcapades? Stern wanted to know. "When Bill was coming on to some woman," claimed Patterson, "I've heard Hillary tell him, 'Bill, zip up your pants. You can't do anything here.'" "Wow, wow," replied the incredulous shock jock. "He's hornier than me," the king of radio raunch observed, after Patterson explained how Clinton would inquire about the security staff's sex life. Patterson's interrogation on Clinton's personal peccadillos gave way to an exploration of one of the most vexing political questions of the 1990s, during the Clinton bodyguard's afternoon appearance on Sean Hannity's WABC radio show. Why did Ross Perot re-enter the presidential race in the final months of the 1992 campaign, thereby tipping the election to Bill Clinton? The former Arkansas state policeman doesn't claim to know what the Texas billionaire's actual motivation was. But he told Hannity that Clinton and the Bush-a-phobic Perot chatted by phone some "25 to 30" times in mid-1992, an unusual amount of personal contact for two supposed political rivals. From WABC radio the Arkansas trooper made his way to Fox News Channel's mid-Manhattan studios, to tape an appearance on "Hannity Colmes" that will run as soon as Hurricaine Floyd permits the resumption of regular Fox programming. Patterson's first full day of press interviews since NewsMax.com released his story ended on Alan Colmes' WEVD late night radio show, as Patterson's long embargoed account continued to spice up the ever-simmering pot of Clinton allegations.

Re: [CTRL] TRAUMATIC AMNESIA
-Caveat Lector- I highly recommend those interested in this topic read the entire article. I am only able to quote from a small portion of it. Sincerely, Neil Brick excerpts from http://members.tripod.com/~Curio_5_/whitfield.html Sexual Addiction Compulsivity, 4, 2, 1997 copyright Brunner/Mazel.Inc. 1997 TRAUMATIC AMNESIA: The Evolution of Our Understanding From a Clinical and Legal Perspective Since this peer-reviewed paper was published, I have identified 51 studies (as of November 1998) that prove the reality of traumatic amnesia in childhood sexual abuse and other traumas. In spite of this strong evidence, "fms" proponents continue to claim that none of these studies proves its existence. I suggest that the reader see the recent excellent textbook by Brown, Scheflin, and Hammond: Memory, Trauma Treatment, and the Law, by Norton, 1998, for more detailed documentation of traumatic amnesia.] While some accused and convicted child molesters have inappropriately influenced the media, the public, and many in the clinical and legal professions by claiming that traumatic amnesia does not occur in child sexual abuse, workers in the field of trauma psychology have accumulated solid empirical evidence over the past 100 years that it does occur and is common. Its existence and natural history are documented throughout the clinical literature. This review describes extensive evidence that traumatic amnesia is a real part of the effects and the natural history of child sexual abuse. Over the past 100 years, we have accumulated a sizable amount of information about the frequency and dynamics of traumatic amnesia (traumatic forgetting, also called dissociative amnesia), and our clinical under standing of it has sharpened during the past 15 years. But our legal understanding of traumatic amnesia, as used by some lawyers, judges and juries, has only recently begun to evolve and, unfortunately, has been heavily distorted by the adversarial process and the media. Likewise, from a detailed analysis of 38 clinical studies (on 2,774 child sexual abuse survivors and 8,388 controls who were not sexually abused) meeting rigorous research criteria, Neumann and colleagues (1996) found that there was a significant association between a sexual abuse history and adult symptoms. These symptoms include anxiety, anger, depression, revictimization, self-mutilation, sexual problems, substance abuse, suicidality, low self-esteem, interpersonal problems, obsessions and compulsions, dissociation, posttraumatic stress responses, and somatization (physical problems). Another review of 45 studies on 1,919 sexually abused children (age range, 2 to 18 years) and 1,194 controls showed similar results (Kendall-Tackett, Williams Finkelhor, 1993). To date, 36 studies on more than 6,000 children and adults who were abused as children have been published; results showed that 16% to 78% of these individuals experienced partial to total amnesa for the traumatic event(s) for substantial periods of time. Most of these adults had been sexually abused as children. Some were both physically and sexually abused, and a few had been only physically abused. Clinical researchers commonly observe that mental and emotional abuse nearly always accompanies physical or sexual abuse. I have described 8 of the studies previously (Whitfield, 1995a); these 8 studies, along with 28 additional studies, are summarized in Table 3. As an example, Wendy Stock and I surveyed 100 self-identified adult survivors of child sexual abuse. We found that about a third always remembered the abuse, another third had partial amnesia for the abuse, and the final third had total amnesia for the abuse (Whitfield, 1996c; Whitfield Stock, 1996). I have also conducted an informal survey of survivors of child hood trauma, most having been sexually abused as children. I found that, of 171 people surveyed, 121 (71%) reported experiencing amnesia of significant duration (usually from a few years to decades) for the traumatic events (Whitfield, 1996a). According to some critics, the child sexual abuse described in these studies has not been corroborated by external proof. However, in 8 of these 36 reports, all of the subjects had external corroboration that their remembered child sexual abuse occurred. In another 4 of these reports, from 60% to 80% had external proof of their abuse, and still 4 more showed corroboration among half of their subjects. In the remaining 20 reports, it was not a goal to look for external proof of the abuse, yet these studies did not differ from the more corroborated studies in terms of average percentage of combined complete and partial amnesia reported (43.4% in the all corroborated group vs. 4.8 % in the group with less than 50 % or unknown corroboration). Thus, whether externally corroborated or not, whether prospective or retrospective, or whether conducted on a sample of known child sexual abuse survivors or self-reported ones, these study results

[CTRL] Al-Fayed: Dodi And Di Murdered
-Caveat Lector- forwarded Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart http://cnn.com/WORLD/europe/9909/17/BC-DIANA-FAYED.reut/index.html Al-Fayed: Dodi And Di Murdered; Driver Paul Blinded By Laser And Blood Swapped 9-18-99 LONDON (Reuters) -- Harrods store owner Mohamed al-Fayed accused British intelligence on Friday of killing Princess Diana and his son Dodi, allegations the government called "baseless." Al-Fayed said Henri Paul, the driver of the car in which the couple died in Paris two years ago, had acted on the orders of Britain's MI5 and MI6 security agencies and the French intelligence service. "He drove into the tunnel under the instructions of MI6 and MI5 and French intelligence," al-Fayed told BBC radio in an interview. "They killed him, they had to kill him, of course." Al-Fayed has persisted with his version of events despite a French judicial inquiry that found Paul was drunk when his Mercedes limousine crashed at high speed into a pillar in a Paris road tunnel on August 31, 1997. The British Foreign Office said there was "not a shred of truth" in the allegation that the accident was the result of a conspiracy. "The implication that an agency of the British government might have had some involvement is baseless, and deeply upsetting for the royal family, the princess's family and all those who wish to remember her life and achievements," a spokesman said. Al-Fayed said Paul was sober and his blood sample had been switched at the mortuary. Paul had been a paid informer of MI6, Britain's foreign intelligence agency, for three years, he said. Al-Fayed, an Egyptian, called MI5, Britain's counter-intelligence service, and MI6 "two evil organisations accountable to nobody." "People have to understand that what happened to Diana and what happened to my son is a murder and I am not going keep quiet until I get to the truth." Al-Fayed said he had been unable to obtain proof to back his allegations because British secrecy laws denied him access to the files of the intelligence services. Al-Fayed said Dodi, a playboy film producer, had been engaged to marry Diana, who was divorced from British royal heir Prince Charles the year before she died. Friends of Diana say she did not intend to marry Dodi. Al-Fayed repeated his contention that the crash was caused by a white Fiat Uno car, which has not been traced, pushing the Mercedes into the pillar. He also revisited a theory, supported by a witness dismissed by French police as unreliable, that driver Paul -- an employee of Fayed's Ritz Hotel -- was blinded by a laser light. "Where is the Fiat Uno which pushed the car the into the column? Where is the motorcycle which ran away with a laser gun, blinding the driver?" Al-Fayed asked. Diana Driver's Blood 'Swapped' In Murder Cover-Up Says Al-Fayed LONDON (AFP) - British and French intelligence swapped the blood of the driver of Princess Diana's car to cover up the "murder" of Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed, Egyptian millionaire Mohammed Al Fayed claimed Friday. In an interview with the BBC, Dodi's father accused Britain and France of killing the couple and then trying to lay the blame on Paul, who also died in the crash. A two-year investigation by French judges concluded Paul was drunk, under medication and speeding when their Mercedes car crashed into a pillar on the Alma road tunnel in Paris early on August 31, 1997. Fayed, owner of the Harrods department store in London and the Ritz Hotel in Paris, has repeatedly accused the British secret services and royal family of plotting the deaths, and is appealing the ruling by the French judges. He returned to the attack in the BBC interview, insisting that if only he was allowed access to secret service files, he could prove it was all a plot. "Henri Paul's blood was exchanged in the mortuary, it's not Henri Paul's blood ... I'm going to prove that the blood is not Henri Paul's blood," he added. Fayed said Paul had been in the pay of British intelligence and drove into the tunnel "under the instruction" of the British and French secret services. He too had to die as part of the plot so he could not reveal anything. "They know what they have done and I'm not going to let them get away with that ... the guy was not drunk." Fayed also insisted Diana was still conscious "seven or eight hours" after the accident,
[CTRL] Charles Pixley Story, The Battle Over 714X
-Caveat Lector- found on the net at: http://www.thewinds.org/archive/medical/charles_pixley08-98.html Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart The Charles Pixley Story The Battle Over 714X Charles Pixley was recently released from a federal prison camp outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His crime? He had made available to the American public knowledge of and access to 714X, a homeopathic camphor compound which is available to the Canadian public and is regarded as a highly successful therapy against cancer. After a lengthy court battle, which left him financially ruined, Pixley was sentenced to nineteen years in federal prison. Even though he is a medical layman, Pixley's story is similar to that of other scientists and physicians who sought to defeat disease outside the accepted conventions of orthodox medicine. The faces and names change, but the story is the same. A physician, scientist or researcher seeks to develop or make available a treatment for cancer or some other deadly disease. These are sought out by patients who are in the advanced stages of their disease, whose bank accounts have been drained by the medical establishment, and who despair of finding a cure in those realms. As alternatives to the established therapies are presented to them, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sweeps in, seizing research materials, patient lists and all assets in a fit of Gestapo-like fury. Professional and financial ruin and sometimes incarceration are all that is left for those who make treatment alternatives available to the ill. This was the experience of Charles Pixley. In 1989 microbiologist Gaston Naessens was acquitted of charges in Canada that he contributed to the death of a terminal cancer patient he had introduced to 714X. After that momentous three-year court battle, Naessens' camphor-based compound was made available for legal prescription by the Canadian Department of Health and Welfare. According to Pixley, it has since been used with varying but significant degrees of success by over 100,000 terminal cancer patients without one instance of side effect. It is also inexpensive. THE STORY BEGINS In 1990 Pixley, his wife and an associate started Writers and Research, Inc. in Rochester, N.Y. for the purpose of promoting specific works they considered to be of immediate and practical benefit to the public in regards to the fields of business, environment, health and socio-politics. As they began to study the fields of health and medicine they were excited to learn that successful therapies for cancer actually existed, but were being withheld from the public. They then formed the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the exclusive promotion of the research and discoveries of Gaston Naessens and 714X, the homeopathic compound he formulated. Pixley told The WINDS, "One-hundred percent of the people we were working with were final stage terminal according to the standard oncologist. They had already completed their chemotherapy and radiation and now were in a state where there was no more money for them. They were at death's door as a result of the [orthodox] therapy." Pixley states that from the inception of the IRB in April of 1992, they were visited regularly by the FDA who "requested and received copies of all available research, toxicology studies, spectrographic chemical evaluations, rat studies, patient histories, books, tapes, and samples of the 714X." Even though they cooperated fully with the FDA, in 1995 their office was raided. Computers, books, tapes, business records and patients' personal medical records were seized. After several attempts, the U.S. Attorney succeeded in having a Grand Jury indict him and his corporation as co-conspirators for "conspiring to defraud the United States by importation of an unapproved new drug," a felony under Title 18 U.S.C. 321. Pixley later determined through the Freedom of Information Act that this FDA regulation had never been published in the Federal Register and, therefore, was not promulgated according to the law. This did not seem to matter. Pixley was ordered into Federal Court in April of 1996. As a defense Pixley planned to expose the evident policy of the FDA to suppress life-saving therapies, both to protect the profits of the medical/pharmaceutical cartels and to carry out a larger agenda of population reduction. The prosecution "filed a 'motion in limine', which was designed to prevent me from saying anything or putting up any defense whatsoever," Pixley told The WINDS. "Even though they didn't know what my defense was going to be, they had an inkling that I was going to start accusing the government of genocide" before the jury. "Their goal was to put me away no matter what." Pixley was found guilty and sentenced to nineteen years in prison. His sentence was later reduced on appeal to a year and a month, partly, he feels, because he was allowed to present
[CTRL] the battle of Kosovo
-Caveat Lector- found on the net at http://www.worldpuja.org Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart (From a report submitted by Fr. John entitled: The Real Meaning of the Battle of Kosovo) The battle of Kosovo took place on June 28, 1389 between a Christian Coalition led by Tsar Lazar of Serbia and the Turkish Muslim forces led by King Murad. In addition to being a great leader, Tsar Lazar was also a very spiritual and holy man. In a story told to every Serbian school child for countless generations, an extraordinary event is recounted. The night before the battle God appeared to Tsar Lazar and told him he could win either a great material or a great spiritual victory. It was his choice. Being a man of profound Christian faith, Tsar did not hesitate and chose the spiritual victory. The next day the battle was lost and both Tsar Lazar and King Murad were killed. The misinterpretation of that event by Serbian nationalists has led to their denial of Tsar Lazars vow as well as the promise given to him by God. It is as if the ancient battle had never been lost, as if the Muslims had never fought in Kosovo at all, or that the 400 year cultural flowering and unique legacy of Muslims and Christians living together in Bosnia never occurred Tsar Lazars choice of a great spiritual victory led eventually to the flowering of diverse religious and ethnic cultures, all living together in peace and harmony. This was most profound in Sarajevo, a model of hope for the future of the world and a bulwark against religious fundamentalism and fanaticism. In their denial and misunderstanding of this, and ultimately the building of Gazi Mestan in Kosovo, a monument symbolizing Serbian ethnic and religious nationalism, the values Tsar Lazar had repudiated in his choice for a spiritual victory were lost. Serbia went against their greatest spiritual leader, his vow and choice, and Gods promise to him. It is well known that World War I was triggered by the assassination of ArchDuke Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 1914 by a Serbian man named Gavrilo Princep. This in turn paved the way for World War II, the rise of the Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party, the Holocaust, and many other horrors. The war in former Yugoslavia ended nearly a century of European warfare with ethnic violence that had not been seen since Hitler. What is not so well known are the links of all these events to Kosovo and the promise to Tsar Lazar. Gavrilo Princep, a Serbian nationalist, specifically chose the day of June 28 to assassinate the ArchDuke. It was the anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, but what he did not know was the true nature of the group that sponsored the assassination and from whom he took his direction. They were not the like-minded nationalists Princep thought they were, but a secret Serbian occult terrorist organization that called themselves "The Black Hand." In this light the events of 1914-1945 and their spiritual significance take on a whole new meaning. The continuation of these events bring us back to Kosovo on June 28, 1989, the 600th anniversary of the battle. President Milosevic of Serbia, also the last president of Yugoslavia, gave an historic speech on the battlefield of Kosovo to rally the last vestiges of a greater Serbia. This final tragic misinterpretation of the spiritual victory won at the Battle of Kosovo and Gods promise to Tsar Lazar set into motion all the terrible events that have taken place in Bosnia, Croatia, Slovania and now Kosovo over the last ten years. These have all been the dark fruits of the misunderstanding of the Battle of Kosovo. http://www.worldpuja.org/beloveddisciple/beloved.html DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Cancer is the sacred cow of the medical INDUSTRY
-Caveat Lector- found on the net, at: http://www.thewinds.org/archive/medical/fda9-97.html see also http://catalog.com/bri/summary.htm Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart "Cancer is the sacred cow of the medical industry. More people make money by treating cancer than there are victims dying from the disease." After a 25-year effort into medical/biological research, "I was shocked," Dr. Halstead exclaimed, "to find upon my Rip Van Winkle return to clinical medicine that dangerous toxic drugs, all FDA approved, had proliferated to a frightening extent--over 1.54 billion prescriptions written in the U.S. per year. "I found," Halstead continues, "that many of these drugs destroy your immune system and are carcinogenic. New and awesome medical technologies were also being spawned, mind-blowing in both their diagnostic capability and staggering costs to the consumer. "However, in evaluating this new drug and health technology, I did not find a commensurate improvement in either morbidity or mortality statistics in chronic degenerative afflictions such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Costs had increased, but not the overall health index. We had dropped to about 23[rd] position among the nations of the world in health care." --- FDA AND STATE AUTHORITIES WAR AGAINST NATURAL REMEDIES A decade's-long dispute between a highly respected physician/scientist and the State of California ended with the elderly doctor, Bruce Halstead, on criminal probation and stripped of his license to practice medicine. In light of this and other recent actions taken by state governmental authorities in cooperation with such U. S. institutions as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), the government appears to be engaged in a concerted war against a domain of the healing arts known as alternative medicine. This war, ostensibly for the protection of American citizens from unscrupulous "quacks," has apparently moved into a new phase. The FDA's pursuit of medical "public enemies" is no longer restricted primarily to non-MD practitioners not trained at established medical schools--those the general public largely considers the unorthodox fringe of the medical world. These federal agencies are now engaging the force of the government's legal machinery in the prosecution of physicians practicing "conventional medicine"--those who have dared to recognize and even incorporate into their practices the efficacy of holistic natural remedies. Dr. Halstead is a graduate of Loma Linda University, a medical school which, to those in the field of the human physiological sciences, ranks as one of the more prestigious schools of medicine and scientific research in the world. The 77-year-old physician is currently on probation under the State of California, Los Angeles County, for his activities involving the prescribing of alternative medication, specifically for his cancer patients. Dr. Halstead has been suspended from any form of medical practice. "In fact," he told The WINDS, "I can't even talk to a patient about nutrition." When his home and clinic in San Bernardino County were raided by the Los Angeles District Attorney, "I challenged their legal jurisdiction," Halstead informed The WINDS, "since I had never lived or worked in Los Angeles County, but that did not matter. I was a legal novice and had not yet learned that jurisdiction and venue were merely legal fantasies which have no meaning in actual fact for the alternative health physician." (Nor, apparently, does the constitutional doctrine of habeas corpus). Dr. Halstead was charged with twenty-eight counts of conspiracy, grand theft and violations of the Health and Safety Code, along with twenty felony and misdemeanor counts. "The prosecutor wanted me to go to prison for eight years," he told The WINDS, "but the court ultimately reduced the sentence to 32 months. I was offered, on at least ten different occasions, the 'opportunity' of plea bargaining for a crime which I did not commit," Halstead explained. "My reply was 'not until hell freezes over.'" The assault upon alternative medicine "is not just against me," he said. "They're after everybody and everything" connected with the field. THE QUALIFICATIONS Dr. Halstead, acclaimed as a genius even among his peers, has authored hundreds of books and research publications. Among them are benchmark works such as Poisonous and Venomous Marine Animals of the World which the U.S. Navy considers of such importance as to fund a project to put the entire three-volume tome on CD-ROM.

Researchers have known for decades that most cancers could be treated simply
and effectively-- so why are we hooked on expensive therapies?
by Peter Barry Chowka
Year after year, public opinion surveys find that Americans fear cancer more
than any other illness, a concern that is not unjustified: Cancer is
currently the second leading cause of death in the United States and by the
end of this decade it is predicted to become the number-one killer. This
year, more than one million Americans will learn that they have cancer--and
600,000 of them will die from it. The bottom line is that the cancer death
rate in America is rising every year.
In May 1997, John Bailar III M.D., made headlines with the publication of
his article in the New England Journal of Medicine questioning the impact of
conventional cancer treatments. Ten years ago, in an earlier issue of the
same publication, Bailar had written, "Some 35 years of intense effort
focused largely on improving [cancer] treatment must be judged a qualified
failure." Bailar and his co-author, Heather L. Gornick, now write, "with 12
more years of data and experience, we see little reason to change that
[earlier] conclusion."
Other studies in publications like Scientific American (November 1985) found
essentially the same thing. For example, chemotherapy drugs, the leading
conventional therapy for cancer, help no more than 5 percent of patients who
receive them (while more than 50 percent of cancer patients are treated with
them).
It is not surprising, then, that people diagnosed with cancer are turning
increasingly to alternative therapies. But although alternative cancer
therapies have always been popular during this century, they have seldom
been without controversy. One has only to recall the high-profile medical,
legal, and media skirmishes involving alternative therapies like Hoxsey
(1950s), Krebiozen ('60s), laetrile ('70s), Burton's Immunoaugmentive
Therapy ('80s), and Burzynski's antineoplastons ('90s) to get a sense of
this dynamic.
The words "cancer" and "politics" are inextricably intertwined. As Samuel
Epstein, M.D., author of The Politics of Cancer (Sierra Club Books, 1978)
notes, "The politics of cancer is more complex than the science of cancer."
Epstein is referring primarily to cancer causation and the environment. One
side of the cancer-politics issue is the fact that economics and politics
are at the heart of most cancers. According to WHO, it has been known
conclusively for several decades that 80 percent to 90 percent of human
cancers are associated with environmental factors including toxins in the
air, water and food; carcinogens in the workplace; dietary imbalances;
cigarette smoking, and other personal lifestyle choices. But dealing with
these causes entails touchy economic--and often political--choices. Bailar
notes the dilemma: "If we are to effectively prevent cancer, we will have to
change our diets and our smoking habits; we're also going to have to clean
up our environment, change industrial processes, and do a number of things
that will be difficult, expensive, time-consuming and intrusive." In
addition, Bailar adds that "A change [to prevention] at NCI would mean a
massive disruption in ideas and momentum in the research community and in
the businesses that support that research community."
An example of how politics and economics have prevented solutions from being
implemented came to my attention in 1977 when the late Dean Burk, Ph.D., a
brilliant chemist and a founder of NCI (in 1937), showed me a series of
dusty scientific papers stored in his Washington basement. To my surprise,
the documentation revealed that in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, the dietary
link to cancer was a topic of vigorous scientific inquiry. This was
surprising news because, in the 1970s, linking the words "diet" and "cancer"
invited immediate attack and ridicule by the medical powers-that-be. But
experiments with laboratory mice and rats and primitive epidemiological
studies early in this century revealed that there was indeed such a thing as
an anticancer diet--one low in calories and fat and high in certain
micronutrients. (For more information, please see the accompanying two
articles on pages 456 and 464.) But according to Burk, these intriguing
findings were never implemented. As he explained, after World War II along
came chemotherapy [treatment for cancer], a byproduct of the military's
poison gas experiments. Suddenly, the expensive, high-tech, career-making
chemotherapy drug treatment-approach was fashionable and "hot," while there
was little to be gained--economically, professionally or otherwise--by
suggesting that people change their diets to prevent cancer.
It was not until the late 1970s that scientists and policymakers finally
began to open the door a crack to seriously re-examine the diet-cancer link.

-Caveat Lector- http://www.l-e-o.com/news/0911RANGER.htm Ranger dies during training exercise 09/11/1999 Amy Wolfford Staff Writer A U.S. Army Ranger from Fort Benning died after being shot in the chest during a marksmanship training exercise Thursday in Bamberg, Germany, a preliminary investigation shows. Sgt. Jamey J. Dimase, a 26-year-old soldier with 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, was killed as a result of an 11:30 a.m. accident, a news release from Fort Benning stated. Medical personnel on the scene responded, but were unable to resuscitate him. Details of events leading up to the death were not released Friday. The fatality remains under investigation by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. "They train realistically and it's dangerous," post spokeswoman Monica Manganaro said. Dimase was a team leader from Cincinnati, where his mother resides. His father is from Miami. Their names were not released. He entered the Army seven years ago this month and joined the Rangers in June 1998. His elite unit that planned and conducted special military missions had been on a routine training mission in Europe for about a month. Training accidents have claimed the lives of about three dozen Rangers in the last two decades. Dimase is believed to be the first Ranger killed on duty since 1995, the year four Rangers died in a swampy area at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

[CTRL] Scots and the Secret Service
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www-saw.arts.ed.ac.uk/secret/secretservice.html A HREF="http://www-saw.arts.ed.ac.uk/secret/secretservice.html"Scots and the Secret Service/A - Scots at War/Secret War/ Scots and the British Secret Service The Secret Service Bureau Room 40 First World War 1919-1945 THE SECRET SERVICE BUREAU Scots played a significant part in the formation of the British Secret Service Bureau (SSB) established by the Committee of Imperial Defence in July 1909. This followed a recommendation of an ad hoc committee to examine the threat from German spies in Britain chaired by RICHARD BURDON HALDANE, the Secretary of State for War. HALDANE was born in Edinburgh in 1856, the son of Robert Haldane of Cloan, a descendant of the Haldanes of Gleneagles, and Mary Elizabeth Burdon-Sanderson, of Northumberland. Graduating in philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, he read for the bar in London and took silk in 1890. In 1885 he became Liberal MP for East Lothian and in 1905 was appointed by Prime Minister Asquith Secretary of State for War. Here his best known achievement was in establishing the Territorials and reforming and re-organising the army to fight in Europe. He was raised to the peerage as Viscount Haldane of Cloan in 1911 and was Lord Chancellor from 1912 to 1915 and again in 1924, during the first Labour Government. As Chairman of the Committee on German Espionage Haldane moved from being a sceptic to a convert, and his report called for the formation of a Secret Service Bureau to work on both counter-espionage and espionage. This the SSB did under Captain Vernon Kell and Commander Mansfield Cumming respectively and eventually it divided into what are now known as MI5 and MI6 (or Secret Intelligence Service - SIS), the first two pillars of Britain's modern Secret Service. HALDANE instructed LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR JOHN SPENCER EWART, the Director of Military Operations and Intelligence in the War Office, to get the new SSB up and running. He, too, was a Scot. Born in 1861 into a distinguished Dumfriesshire family with an established Army tradition (his father was General Sir John Alexander Ewart, a veteran of the Crimea and Indian Mutiny) EWART joined the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in 1881, served in Egypt and Sudan 1884-6, Sudan 1898, and the Boer War 1899-1902. He then served in the War Office as, successively, Military Secretary, DMO, Director-General of the Territorials and Adjutant-General until events surrounding the so-called Curragh Mutiny of 1914 led to his resignation and subsequent appointment as GOC Scotland. He died in 1930. EWART was firmly convinced of the German spy menace and was a keen supporter of establishing a Secret Service Bureau. 'In this area', he complained, 'we are lamentably behind other nations especially Germany which employs hosts of agents and spies' ROOM 40 The third pillar of Britain's modern Secret Service was (and remains) its intercept service for collecting and deciphering the communications of other powers (currently known as GCHQ- Government Communications Headquarters). This effectively began in 1914 with the creation of Room 40, the Admiralty's decoding section. When war began the Director of Naval Intelligence was REAR-ADMIRAL HENRY OLIVER (later Admiral Sir Henry Oliver), a Scot born near Kelso in the Borders in 1865.OLIVER entered the Royal Navy in 1878 and quickly established his reputation as an outstanding navigator. From 1908 to 1911 he was Naval Assistant to the First Sea Lord, Admiral 'Jackie' Fisher and in 1913 became Director of Naval Intelligence. In October he took up the position of Chief of the Naval War Staff that he held until 1919. He died in his 101st year, in 1965. (Pictured here on the right). Faced with a mounting pile of intercepted coded signals from Germany that could not be read, OLIVER turned to his fellow Scot and Director of Naval Education SIR ALFRED EWING for help. (Pictured here below). EWING, later to become Vice-Chancellor and Principal of Edinburgh University, was born in Dundee in 1855, graduated from Edinburgh with a degree in engineering, and in 1890 went to Cambridge as Professor of Mechanism and Applied Mechanics. Admiral Fisher selected him as Director of Naval Education in 1902 and it was under Ewing that both Dartmouth and Osborne were established as naval colleges. EWING took charge of the intercepts and very quickly established Room 40 as the top secret Admiralty centre to decipher them. Success came quickly and by the end of 1914 Room 40 was deciphering nearly all significant German naval messages including those of the High Seas Fleet and the rapidly developing German submarine force. Room 40 also worked with considerable success on diplomatic material, chalking up its major triumph in the 1917 Zimmmerman telegram affair that helped bring the United States into the war. In 1917 EWING handed

Re: [CTRL] SWAT Nation (Rant)
-Caveat Lector- Sorry if this is sort of a riff off your rant, Goat, but I do get your point. I have just had two rather odd experiences. 1.The advent of Floyd in upstate New York turned off the power in my very local upstate NY neighborhood for almost 24 hours. (Not the whole town but the block where I live and a few blocks to the west of me.) It went out at 8:30 p.m. and didn't come on again until around 4 the next afternoon. When I went looking for info, folks told me that there were lots of power lines down. But when I went out walking, I didn't see a single onenot even where big trees were down. In the NW corner of my house there is a sort of rumble that sounds like a motor running. It has a vibration to it, so if you plug your ears, you can still hear/feel it. Over the past year, I have experimented with turning off the furnace, the water heater, the fridge, gone down into the basement at 3 in the morning looking for the source of this noise, but have never found it. (Actually, it is least noticeable in the basement.) Curiously, with ALL the power off, this noise/vibration was still there. Someone who was working at my house heard it also. What would you do if you had this noise/vibration in your house? 2.When I got up on Saturday morning, I noticed that there were a lot of cars parked in front of the Episcopal church across the street from me. At first I thought it might be a funeral or perhaps a wedding rehearsal, since there are very rarely cars on Saturday-- but Always on Sunday. Late in the morning, the people came out of the church, and guess who they were? The local public highschool football team--in uniform! All those cars full of teenagers looked so serious and determined as the zoomed off towards the playing fields. Does this mean that the public school football team attends pregame prayer meetings. That the public highschool is playing football for Jesus? Is this kosher? sno0wl DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Reflections on the politics of culture (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Reflections on the politics of culture. by Michael Parenti In the academic social sciences, students are taught to think of culture as representing the customs and mores of a society, including its language, art, laws, and religion. Such a definition has a nice neutral sound to it, but culture is anything but neutral. Much of what is thought to be our common culture is the selective transmission of class-dominated values. Antonio Gramsci understood this when he spoke of class hegemony, noting that the state is only the "outer ditch behind which there [stands] a powerful system of fortresses and earthworks," a network of cultural values and institutions not normally thought of aS political.(1) What we call "our culture" is largely reflective of existing hegemonic arrangements within the social order, strongly favoring some interests over others. A society built upon slave labor, for instance, swiftly develops a racist culture, replete with its own peculiar laws, science, and mythology, along with mechanisms of repression directed against both slaves and the critics of slavery. After slavery is abolished, racism continues to fortify the inequitable social relations - which is what Engels meant when he said that slavery leaves its "poisonous sting" long after it passes into history. Culture, then, is not an abstract force that floats around in space and settles upon us - though given the seemingly subliminal ways it influences us, it can feel like a disembodied, ubiquitous entity. In fact, culture is mediated through a social structure. We get our culture from a network of social relations involving other people: primary groups such as family, peers, and other informal associations within the community or, as is increasingly the case, from more formally articulated and legally chartered institutions such as schools, media, churches, government agencies, corporations, and the military. Linked by purchase and persuasion to dominant ruling-class interests, such social institutions are regularly misrepresented as politically neutral, especially by those who occupy command positions within them or are otherwise advantaged by them. What Gramsci said about the military might apply to most other institutions in capitalist society: their "so-called neutrality only means support for the reactionary side."(2) The Slippery Slope of Cultural Relativism When culture is treated as nothing more than an innocent accretion of solutions and practices, and each culture is seen as something inviolate, then all cultures are accepted at face value and cultural relativism is the suggested standard. So we hear that we should avoid ethnocentrism and respect other cultures. To be sure, after centuries in which indigenous cultures have been trampled underfoot by colonizers, we need to be acutely aware of the baneful effects of cultural imperialism and of the oppressive intolerance manifested toward diverse ethnic cultures within our own society. But the struggle to preserve cultural diversity should not give carte blanche to anyone in any society to violate basic human rights. Many patriarchal cultures, for example, are replete with "sacrosanct customs" that, on closer examination, promote the worst kinds of gender victimization, including the mutilation of female children through clitorectomy and infibulation, and the sale of young girls into sexual slavery. I once heard an official from Saudi Arabia demand that Westerners show respect for his culture: he was addressing critics who denounced the Saudi practice of stoning women to death on charges of adultery. He failed to mention that there were people within his own culture - including, of course, the female victims - who were not enamored of such time-honored traditions. For most of U.S. history, slaveholders and then segregationists insisted that we respect the South's "way of life." In Nazi Germany, anti-Semitism was an integral part of the ongoing political culture. Many evildoers might rally under the banner of cultural relativism. The truth is, as we struggle for human betterment, we must challenge the oppressive and destructive features of all cultures, including our own. In academic circles, postmodernist theorists offer their own variety of cultural relativism. They reject the idea that human perceptions can transcend culture. For them, all kinds of knowledge are little more than social constructs. Evaluating any culture from a platform of fixed and final truths, they say, is a dangerous project that often contains the seeds of more extreme forms of domination. In response, I would argue that, even if there are no absolute truths, this does not mean all consciousness is hopelessly culture-bound. People from widely different societies and different periods in history can still recognize forms of class, ethnic, and gender
[CTRL] The myth of the liberal campus (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message - The myth of the liberal campus by Michael Parenti For some time now, we have been asked to believe that higher education is being devalued by the "politically correct" tyrannies of feminists, African Ameri can nationalists, gays, lesbians, and Marxists. The truth is something else. In fact, most college professors and students are drearily conventional in their ideological proclivities. And the system of rule within the average university or college, be it private or public, owes more to Sparta than to Athens. The university is a chartered corporation ruled, like any other corporation, by a self appointed, self perpetuating board of trustees, composed overwhelm ingly of affluent and conservative businesspeople. Trustees retain final say over all mat ters of capital funding, investment, bud get, academic curriculum, scholarships, tuition, and the hiring, firing, and pro motion of administration and faculty personnel. At no time do they have to deal with anything that might be called democracy. They face no free and inde pendent campus press, no elections, no opposing political slates, and no ac countability regarding policy and per formance. Conservative critics who rant about "politically correct" coercions ap pear to be perfectly untroubled by this oligarchic rule. On these same campuses can be found faculty members who do "risk analysis" to help private corporations make safe investments in the Third World, or who work on marketing tech niques and union busting, or who devise new methods for controlling rebellious peoples at home and abroad and new weapons systems and technologies for surveillance and counterinsurgency. (Napalm was invented at Harvard.) For handsome fees, these faculty offer bright and often ruthless ideas on how to make the world safe for those who own it. On these same campuses, one can find recruiters from various corporations, the armed forces, and the intelligence agencies. In 1993, an advertise ment appeared in campus newspapers promoting "student programs and career opportunities" with the CIA. Students "could be eligible for a CIA internship and tuition assistance" and would get "hands on experience" working with CIA "professionals" while attending school. (The ad did not explain how full time students could get experience as undercover agents. Would it be by reporting on professors and fellow students who voiced iconoclastic views?) Without any apparent sense of irony, many of the faculty engaged in these worldly activities argue that a university should be a place apart from immediate worldly interests. In reality, many universities have direct investments in corporate America in the form of substantial stock portfolios. By purchase and persuasion, our institutions of higher learning are wedded to institutions of higher earning. A MATTER OF SOME HISTORY Ideological repression in academia is as old as the nation itself. Through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, most colleges were controlled by reli giously devout trustees who believed it their duty to ensure faculty acceptance of the prevailing theological preach meets. In the early 1800s, trustees at northern colleges prohibited their faculties from engaging in critical discussions of slavery; abolitionism was a taboo subject. At colleges in the South, faculty actively devoted much of their intellectual energies to justifying slavery and injecting white supremacist notions into the overall curriculum. In the 1870s and 1880s, Darwinism was the great bugaboo. Presidents of nine prominent eastern colleges went on record as prohibiting the teaching of evolutionary theory. What is called "creationism" today was the only acceptable viewpoint on most of the nation's campuses. By the 1880s, rich businessmen came to dominate the boards of trustees of most institutions of learning. They seldom hesitated to impose ideological controls. They fired faculty members who expressed heretical ideas on and off campus and who attended Populist Party conventions, championed antimonopoly views, supported free silver, opposed U.S. imperialism in the Philip pines, or defended the rights of labor leaders and socialists. During World War I, university officials such as Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, explicitly forbade faculty from criticizing the war, arguing that in times of war such heresy was seditious. A leading historian, Charles Beard, was grilled by the Columbia trustees, who were concerned that his views might "inculcate disrespect for American institutions" In disgust, Beard resigned from his teaching position, declaring that the trustees and Nicholas Murray Butler sought "to drive out or humilate or terrorize every man who held progressive, liberal, or unconventional views on political matters." Academia never has been receptive to persons of anti capitalist
[CTRL] The super rich are out of sight (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- The super rich are out of sight by Michael Parenti The super rich, the top 1% who earn the lions share of the nation's income, go uncounted in most income distribution reports. Even those who study the question sometimes overlook the wealthiest among us. For instance, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, relying on the latest U.S. Census Bureau data, released a report in December 1997 showing that in the last two decades, "incomes of the richest fifth increased by 30% or nearly $27,000 after adjusting for inflation." The average income of the top 20% was $117,500, or almost 13 times larger than the $9,250 average income of the poorest 20%. But where are the super rich? An average of $117,500 is an upper-middle income, not at all representative of a rich cohort, let alone a super-rich one. Many such reports about income distribution are based on U.S. Census Bureau surveys that regularly leave Big Money out of the picture. A few phone calls to the Census Bureau in Washington D.C. revealed that for years the bureau never interviewed anyone who had an income higher than $300,000. Or if interviewed, they were never recorded as above the "reportable upper limit" of $300,000, the top figure allowed by the bureau's computer program. In 1994, the bureau lifted the upper limit to $1 million. This still excludes the richest 1%, the hundreds of billionaires and thousands of multimillionaires who make many times more than $1 million a year. The super rich simply have been computerized out of the Census Bureaus picture. When asked why this procedure was used, an official said that the Census Bureaus computers could not handle higher amounts. A most improbable excuse, since once the bureau decided to raise the upper limit from $300,000 to $1 million it did so without any difficulty, and it could do so again. Another reason the official gave was "confidentiality." Given place coordinates, someone with a very high income might be identified. Furthermore, he said, high-income respondents usually understate their investment returns by about 40% to 50%. Finally, the official argued that since the super rich are so few, they are not likely to show up in a national sample. And since they are so few, including them would skew the sample, wouldn't it? But by designating the (decapitated) top 20% of the entire nation as the "richest" quintile, the Census Bureau is including millions of people who make as little as $70,000. If you make over $100,000, you are in the top 4%. Now $100,000 is a tidy sum indeed, but it's not super rich - as in Mellon, Morgan or Murdoch. The difference between Michael Eisner, the Disney CEO who pocketed $565 million in 1996, and the individuals who average $9,250 is not 13 to one - the reported spread between highest and lowest quintiles - but over 61,000 to one. Much attention has been given to the top corporate managers who rake in tens of millions of dollars annually in salaries and perks. But little is said about the tens of billions that their corporations distribute to the top investor class each year, again that invisible 1% of the population. Media publicity that focuses exclusively on a handful of greedy top executives conveniently avoids any exposure of the super rich as a class. In fact, reining in the CEOs who cut into the corporate take would well serve the big shareholders' interests. Two studies that do their best to muddy our understanding of wealth, conducted by the Rand Corporation and the Brookings Institution - and widely reported in the major media - found that individuals typically become rich not from inheritance but by maintaining their health and working hard. Most of their savings comes from their earnings and has nothing to do with inherited family wealth, the researchers would have us believe. In typical social science fashion, they prefigured their findings by limiting the scope of their data. Both studies fail to note that achieving a high income is itself in large part due to inherited advantages. Those coming from upper-strata households have a far better opportunity to maintain their health and develop their performance, attend superior schools, and achieve the advanced professional training, contacts, and influence needed to land higher paying positions. More importantly, both the Rand and Brookings studies failed to include the super rich, those who sit on immense and largely inherited fortunes. Instead, the investigators concentrated on upper middle class professionals and managers, most of whom earn in the $100,000 to $300,000 range - which indicates the researchers have no idea how rich the very rich really are. When pressed on this point, they explain that there is a shortage of data on the very rich. Being such a tiny percentage, "they're an extremely difficult part of the population to survey," pleads Rand economist James P.

[CTRL] Blaming the barbarians (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message --- Blaming the barbarians (preservation of culture after the Barbarian invasions of Rome) by Michael Parenti Occupying a perch on the best-seller list for the better part of two years was Thomas Cahill's How the Irish Saved Civilization, a book that still enjoys brisk sales. Cahill argues that Irish monastic scholars rescued classical and folk literature (including Ireland's own rich contributions) from the Visigoths who sacked Rome in 410 and from other peoples who invaded Italy from the north. Thus he breathes new life into the old myth of the Christian church as a citadel of learning amidst the ignorant hordes. (A moment's reflection should remind us that literature and learning were preserved not only in the Irish monasteries but also among the Moors and in various cities in the Eastern empire and elsewhere around the imperial periphery. But Cahill's book would have proved far less marketable had he more accurately entitled it How the Irish, Along with Others, Helped Preserve a Portion of What Might Be Called "Civilization.") By Cahill's account, the clergy "saved" classical civilization from those whom he calls "unwashed barbarians," who "descended on the Roman cities, looting artifacts and burning books." Here I wish to argue the contrary: if the Irish clergy "saved civilization," it was not from the barbarians but principally from their fellow preachers. First, please note that Cahill offers not a morsel of evidence to support his repeated assertions that the barbarians burned books or waged--as the Christians themselves had been doing for decades--a Kulturkampf against classical learning and lay literacy. While the barbarians certainly looted, they seemed little interested one way or the other in written texts. The one actual instance Cahill offers of books being damaged by invaders occurred in Ireland hundreds of years after the fall of Rome, when "Viking terrorists" (as he calls them) looted some monasteries and "destroyed books by ripping off bejeweled covers for booty." Even in this episode, the marauders' interest was in the gems, not the destruction of books per se. Furthermore, decades before the northern tribes descended upon Rome, the church itself had burned all the critiques of Christianity written by prominent non-Christian scholars, such as Porphyry and Celsus. By the late fourth century, church censorship had extended into just about every area of learning. In 391 Alexandria, the Christians, led by the patriarch Theophilus, destroyed the Serapeum, the annex or "daughter library" to the Museum, the main edifice that housed the great bibliotheca in antiquity. The Serapeum itself had contained a priceless trove of scrolls and codices. In the decades that followed, the Museum's collection was purged and transformed by the Christians so that, by the time the main library was destroyed by Islamic invaders in 641, it housed mostly patristic and other church writings. In various countries, ancient academies were abolished and laypeople were forbidden to read even the Bible. Cahill offers not a word about the closing of academies, the destruction of libraries, the book burning, and the overall intellectual repression waged by the church well before the Visigothic assault on Rome and continuing long afterward. From about 320 to 395, the twenty-eight public libraries in Rome "like tombs, were closed forever," as Cahill quotes the lamenting Ammianus Marcellinus--whom he fails to identify as a non-Christian historian. Again, the impression left is that the barbarians were to blame, but the closings occurred during the time of Christian domination, years before the Visigoths set foot inside Rome. Book burning seems to have started rather early as a Christian practice, during the apostolic age, among the very first generation of believers. In Acts 19:17-19, we learn that the Greeks and Jews in the city of Ephesus responded to Paul's preaching by destroying their books valued at fifty thousand pieces of silver--an act that, if not urged by Paul, certainly earned his approval. Cahill does, however, let fall a few hints regarding Christianity's war against learning, mentioning Pope Gregory's hostility toward non-Christian classics and St. Jerome's fear of damnation for having read Cicero. Ironically, the one concrete example Cahill gives of an actual book burning is by a pope: Honorius III's order in 1225 to torch all copies of a metaphysical work of some originality by Irish philosopher Johannes Eriugena. By the end of the fifth century, with Christianity firmly in command as the state religion, the profession of copyist had disappeared, as had the reproduction of most secular writings. From that time until the late sixteenth century or so, the church hierarchy viewed unbridled literacy among the masses as a threat to clerical and
[CTRL] DRUDGE: BUSH REFUSING TO RELEASE MEDICAL RECORDS (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- X DRUDGE REPORT X SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1998 20:41:09 ET BUSH REFUSING TO RELEASE MEDICAL RECORDS **Exclusive** GOP presidential front runner George W. Bush is refusing to release his medical records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. In recent weeks, Bush has declined persistent requests by several major media outlets for a detailed accounting of his health history and current condition. At the close of business on Friday, Bush campaign officials were not budging. "The governor is in great health and we will back that up," one senior staffer told the DRUDGE REPORT. But when pressed about the repeated requests made by reporters for the release of Bush's complete medical records, the campaign insider cried foul. "We strongly believe that this is an issue of privacy," said the official. "I think the American people are sick and tired of reporters digging around in people's private lives!" Ironically, George W. Bush's stand against releasing his medical records clashes with assurances that were made during his father's presidential campaign. In 1988, the late Lee Atwater, campaign manager for George Bush, promised reporters that Vice-President Bush would produce whatever private medical records the press requested. The WASHINGTON POST and the WALL STREET JOURNAL, which consistently hit Bill Clinton after he refused to release his full medical records, could publicly challenge the W. Bush campaign as early as this week, according to publishing sources. Editors in one newsroom have argued that Bush should simply be held to the same standard that his father's handlers wished to hold candidate Clinton. Former press secretary for President Bush, Marlin Fitzwater, blasted Bill Clinton for failing to release his medical records. "Clinton has stonewalled from the beginning in 1992 and he offers no explanation; he simply says, 'I won't do it,'" Fitzwater told reporters. The W. Bush camp could be spooked by comments made by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. "I do believe the medical history of a President is something the people have a right to know and I speak from personal experience," Reagan said. Developing...

We agree that it adds strength to the nuclear abolition movement to unite all survival issues together under a prayer for "Global Peace Now!" We also support the idea of a Global Peace and Environment Platform for candidates in the Year 2000 U.S. National elections. The world we all live in is the product of ideas, individual and collective. For too long humanity's time, energy, "money," have been funneled into rotten ideas. This situation can be changed if we spend our energy and resources on PRACTICAL concepts, and transform the deadly "military-industrial complex" President Eisenhower warned about into self-sustaining, environment- and neighbor-friendly industries. (See http://prop1.org/convert/convpro.htm.) We are very encouraged that DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has again introduced into Congress HR-2545, the Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act of 1999, which calls on the U.S. to commit to global nuclear disarmament, and to redirect weapons funding to peaceful purposes such as housing, health care, education, food, and environmental restoration. See http://prop1.org/prop1/hr2545.htm. This bill was first submitted, in 1994, as the result of a successful Washington, DC ballot initiative (#37, 1993), which asked the mayor to advise our Congresswoman that the majority of the voters wanted her to introduce it. We hope that Global Peace Walk2000 will help alert the people in America and around the world to this great opportunity, which only needs adequate public support to be made into law in the U.S. ... and thence around the world. (See suggestions, and text of bill, below.) Your efforts can be very helpful. Thank you for carrying and sharing the idea of eliminating nuclear weapons while walking to Washington DC.

[CTRL] Documentary raises new allegations about Davidian siege (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- From: http://www.startext.net/news/doc/1047/1:STATE71/1:STATE71091899.html Updated: Saturday, Sep. 18, 1999 at 22:03 CDT Documentary raises new allegations about Davidian siege By Karen Brooks Star-Telegram Staff Writer FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- They were three old high school buddies -- aspiring filmmakers with a willing investor and the goal of making a compelling movie. Their documentary, they decided, would challenge the conspiracy theories surrounding the government's 1993 standoff with the Branch Davidian sect near Waco. It would capitalize on the exposure and insight of an Academy Award- nominated researcher who had made a film about the siege, whom some considered an expert on the subject. It would be a quick job -- four months, tops. And maybe the filmmakers would dig up some new facts along the way. "One of my goals was, How much merit was there to this argument?" said Jason Van Vleet, 28. That's how Van Vleet, technical director Aric Johnson and composer Dan Hoeye -- who make up the majority of the staff at tiny, independent MGA Entertainment -- approached a new movie with Fort Collins researcher Mike McNulty. McNulty's 1997 documentary, Waco: The Rules of Engagement, recently earned an Emmy Award for investigative journalism and an Academy Award nomination for best documentary. As they researched their soon-to-be-released documentary, Waco: A New Revelation, they became lightning rods for the public uproar over the government's handling of the siege, which ended April 19, 1993, with a fire that consumed the sect's compound. The bodies of sect leader David Koresh and at least 80 of his followers, including several children, were found in the charred ruins. The film builds on assertions in the first documentary and responds to critics of the contention that the government misled the public in its characterization of the events. Their findings, based partly on the Texas Department of Public Safety's stores of physical evidence from the case, has stirred up a maelstrom on Capitol Hill and prompted pledges by Congress to investigate the matter. "We've got a film that's going to answer questions that you don't even know you should be asking," said Van Vleet's father, Rick Van Vleet, who owns the production company with his son. None of them are formally trained investigators, nor are they former federal agents or conspiracy theorists with an agenda, they say. McNulty and Jason Van Vleet, who is directing, producing and helping research the film, were the first private citizens to gain access to tons of evidence collected by the DPS and federal investigators at the scene of the tragedy. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Johnston pushed to give them access to the evidence after McNulty and Van Vleet made public-information requests for months. Johnston has recused himself from any part in further investigations. They have stacks of photographs, diagrams and documents and more than 400 hours of videotape -- crime scene footage from federal investigators, personal interviews and surveillance video. They read thousands of pages of testimony and reviewed 51 days of tapes of recorded negotiations between the Davidians and federal agents. They interviewed theologians, experts on explosives and infrared photography, witnesses, survivors, former federal employees, attorneys representing the Branch Davidians, and investigators from federal, state and local agencies. McNulty and Van Vleet say they have sent their findings to people in Washington and requested interviews, which were declined. Their findings, some of which they have turned over to lawmakers pushing for a more thorough examination of the government's role in the siege, include the first public hints that Delta Force, an elite anti- terrorist military unit, may have done more than observe and advise in the operation. McNulty alleges that at least six pyrotechnic "flash-bang" devices were mislabeled as silencers and gun parts. A recent Texas Ranger review of the evidence mentions those concerns and states that those items will be kept separate for further review when all the evidence is cataloged and shipped to U.S. District Court in Waco, where the Branch Davidians have filed a wrongful death suit against the government. ATF officials acknowledged in congressional hearings that they used two additional devices during the initial raid Feb. 28, 1993. Ranger officials have
[CTRL] Great Myths of the Great Depression
-Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ Great Myths of the Great Depression by Lawrence W. Reed Many volumes have been written about the Great Depression and its impact on the lives of millions of Americans. Historians, economists, and politicians have all combed the wreckage searching for the "black box" that will reveal the cause of this legendary tragedy. Sadly, all too many of them decide to abandon their search, finding it easier perhaps to circulate a host of false and harmful conclusions about the events of seven decades ago. How bad was the Great Depression? Over the four years from 1929 to 1933, production at the nation's factories, mines, and utilities fell by more than half. People's real disposable incomes dropped 28 percent. Stock prices collapsed to one-tenth of their precrash height. The number of unemployed Americans rose from 1.6 million in 1929 to 12.8 million in 1933. One of every four workers was out of a job at the Depression's nadir, and ugly rumors of revolt simmered for the first time since the Civil War. Old myths never die; they just keep showing up in college economics and political science textbooks. Students today are frequently taught that unfettered free enterprise collapsed of its own weight in 1929, paving the way for a decade-long economic depression full of hardship and misery. President Herbert Hoover is presented as an advocate of "handsoff" or laissez-faire, economic policy, while his successor, Franklin Roosevelt, is the economic savior whose policies brought us recovery. This popular account of the Depression belongs in a book of fairy tales and not in a serious discussion of economic history, as a review of the facts demonstrates. The Great, Great, Great, Great Depression To properly understand the events of the time, it is appropriate to view the Great Depression as not one, but four consecutive depressions rolled into one. Professor Hans Sennholz has labeled these four "phases" as follows: the business cycle; the disintegration of the world economy; the New Deal; and the Wagner Act. [1] The first phase explains why the crash of 1929 happened in the first place; the other three show how government intervention kept the economy in a stupor for over a decade. Phase I: The Business Cycle The Great Depression was not the country's first depression, though it proved to be the longest. The common thread woven through the several earlier debacles was disastrous manipulation of the money supply by government. For various reasons, government policies were adopted that ballooned the quantity of money and credit. A boom resulted, followed later by a painful day of reckoning. None of America's depressions prior to 1929, however, lasted more than four years and most of them were over in two. The Great Depression lasted for a dozen years because the government compounded its monetary errors with a series of harmful interventions. Most monetary economists, particularly those of the "Austrian school," have observed the close relationship between money supply and economic activity. When government inflates the money and credit supply, interest rates at first fall. Businesses invest this "easy money" in new production projects and a boom takes place in capital goods. As the boom matures, business costs rise, interest rates readjust upward, and profits are squeezed. The easy-money effects thus wear off and the monetary authorities, fearing price inflation, slow the growth of or even contract the money supply. In either case, the manipulation is enough to knock out the shaky supports from underneath the economic house of cards. One of the most thorough and meticulously documented accounts of the Fed's inflationary actions prior to 1929 is America's Great Depression by the late Murray Rothbard. Using a broad measure that includes currency, demand and time deposits, and other ingredients, Rothbard estimated that the Federal Reserve expanded the money supply by more than 60 percent from mid 1921 to mid 1929. [2] The flood of easy money drove interest rates down, pushed the stock market to dizzy heights, and gave birth to the "Roaring Twenties." By early 1929, the Federal Reserve was taking the punch away from the party. It choked off the money supply, raised interest rates, and for the next three years presided over a money supply that shrank by 30 percent. This deflation following the inflation wrenched the economy from tremendous boom to colossal bust. The "smart" money -- the Bernard Baruchs and the Joseph Kennedys who watched things like money supply -- saw that the party was coming to an end before most other Americans did. Baruch actually began selling stocks and buying bonds and gold as early as 1928; Kennedy did likewise, commenting, "only a fool holds out for the top dollar?" [3] When the masses of investors eventually sensed the change in Fed policy, the stampede was underway. The stock market, after nearly two months of moderate decline, plunged
[CTRL] The Mythology of Roosevelt and the New Deal
-Caveat Lector- ~~for educational purposes only~~ The Mythology of Roosevelt and the New Deal by Robert Higgs The Great Depression was a watershed in American history. Soon after Herbert Hoover assumed the presidency in 1929, the economy began to decline, and between 1930 and 1933 the contraction assumed catastrophic proportions never experienced before or since in the United States. Disgusted by Hoover's inability to stem the collapse, in 1932 the voters elected Franklin Delano Roosevelt, along with a heavily Democratic Congress, and set in motion the radical restructuring of government's role in the economy known as the New Deal. With few exceptions, historians have taken a positive view of the New Deal. They have generally praised such measures as the massive relief programs for the unemployed; the expanded federal regulation of agriculture, industry, finance, and labor relations; the establishment of a legal minimum wage; and the creation of Social Security with its oldage pensions, unemployment insurance, and income supplements for dependent children in single-parent families, the aged poor, the physically handicapped, and the blind. In the construction of the American regulatory and welfare state, no one looms larger than FDR. For this accomplishment, along with his wartime leadership, historians and the general public alike rank Franklin D. Roosevelt among the greatest of American presidents. Roosevelt, it is said repeatedly, restored hope to the American people when they had fallen into despair because of the seemingly endless depression, and his policies "saved capitalism" by mitigating its intrinsic cruelties and inequalities. This view of Roosevelt and the New Deal amounts to a myth compounded of ideological predisposition and historical misunderstanding. In a 1936 book called The Menace of Roosevelt and His Policies, Howard E. Kershner came closer to the truth when he wrote that Roosevelt took charge of our government when it was comparatively simple, and for the most part confined to the essential functions of government, and transformed it into a highly complex, bungling agency for throttling business and bedeviling the private lives of free people. It is no exaggeration to say that he took the government when it was a small racket and made a large racket out of it. As this statement illustrates, not everyone admired FDR during the 1930s. Although historians have tended to view Roosevelt's opponents as self-interested reactionaries, the legions of "Roosevelt haters" actually had a clearer view of the economic consequences of the New Deal. The nearly 17 million men and women who, even in Roosevelt's moment of supreme triumph in 1936, voted for Alf Landon could not all have been plutocrats. Prolonging the Depression The irony is that even if Roosevelt did help to lift the spirits of the American people in the depths of the depression -- an uplift for which no compelling documentation exists -- this achievement only led the public to labor under an illusion. After all, the root cause of the prevailing malaise was the continuation of the depression. Had the masses understood that the New Deal was only prolonging the depression, they would have had good reason to reject it and its vaunted leader. In fact, as many observers claimed at the time, the New Deal did prolong the depression. Had Roosevelt only kept his inoffensive campaign promises of 1932 -- cut federal spending, balance the budget, maintain a sound currency, stop bureaucratic centralization in Washington -- the depression might have passed into history before his next campaign in 1936. But instead, FDR and Congress, especially during the congressional sessions of 1933 and 1935, embraced interventionist policies on a wide front. With its bewildering, incoherent mass of new expenditures, taxes, subsidies, regulations, and direct government participation in productive activities, the New Deal created so much confusion, fear, uncertainty, and hostility among businessmen and investors that private investment, and hence overall private economic activity, never recovered enough to restore the high levels of production and employment enjoyed in the 1920s. In the face of the interventionist onslaught, the American economy between 1930 and 1940 failed to add anything to its capital stock: net private investment for that elevenyear period totaled minus $3.1 billion.2 Without capital accumulation, no economy can grow. Between 1929 and 1939 the economy sacrificed an entire decade of normal economic growth, which would have increased the national income 30 to 40 percent. The government's own greatly enlarged economic activity did not compensate for the private shortfall. Apart from the mere insufficiency of dollars spent, the government's spending tended, as contemporary critics aptly noted, to purchase a high proportion of sheer boondoggle. In the words of the common-man's poet, Berton Braley, A dollar for the services A true
[CTRL] Sheriff's Officers Raid Constitutionalist Meeting
Title: Dave Hartleyhttp://www.Asheville-Computer.comhttp://www.ioa.com/~davehart Sheriff's Officers RaidConstitutionalist Meeting Pretext for Raid Unconvincing One might have imagined that the stunning raid conducted by nearly forty Fresno police officers had been directed at a terrorist group, an illegal drug operation, even a gathering of cultists. But what the secret operation descended on was a meeting of multi-level marketers ranging from 27 to 83 years of age. Their common interest in constitutional subjects and a unique method of distributing that information draws them together on a weekly basis in the public meeting area of a local shopping mall. The sheriff's office, however, assigned a more sinister motive. They charged that the group is an illegal pyramid scheme. Blaine Williams, a distributor of Constitutional Colleagues' products told The WINDS that "the company sells the highest quality video and audio material on the U.S. Constitution by by Dr. Cleon Skousen." Williams feels that Americans must understand the constitutional heritage that has been granted to them. He says it is critical to preserving the inalienable rights granted by God. "It was an amazing sight," Williams said. The public meeting had been underway approximately fifteen minutes when "the doors were banged violently and shortly after that, they yelled that it was the sheriff. Law enforcement officers literally poured into the room. It appeared that there were as many officers as attendees" to the meeting. Williams, who was speaking to the gathering, was arrested immediately. Sharon Saunders told The WINDS, "I was shocked. They pounded on the door, then stormed into the room from the front and back. I saw all these armed men, I didn't know if they were police or what. I was standing there in shock." One of the officers approached Saunders, asking her identity. She continued, "They didn't say they had a warrant for my arrest, they just stood there; but when they put the handcuffs on me, I said, 'Do you have a warrant? I'd like to see the warrant." "Yes, we have it," they said. "Don't worry about that." After leading her outside into an alley, the officers began questioning Saunders as they rifled through her purse. They removed her driver's license, nearly $1,000 in cash and address books from her purse, listing this on an evidence sheet as "miscellaneous items from purse." The bizarre episode continued as Saunders waited--hands cuffed tightly behind her back- for approximately two hours in the patrol car while officers searched her husband's Explorer. She tells of painful, swollen, black-and-blue wrists from the experience. Meanwhile, inside the meeting room, the demeaning encounter continued as officers interrogated those in attendance. Curtis Riley was present at the meeting when the officers stormed in. He told The WINDS that deputies required identification including name, home address, home telephone number, driver's license number, social security number, place of employment, work address and work telephone number. Notation was also made of the apparel worn by attendees. The ladies were compelled to reveal the contents of their purses and the men to empty their pockets; even the elderly grandmothers in their 80's were subjected to humiliating body searches. PEACE OFFICERS? From the shopping mall, the spectacle continued as the entourage pulled up in front of the Saunders' home. She said the neighbors were "freaking out at this scene on the street" as the eight patrol cars parked near the residence and she was led, handcuffed, into her home. As Saunders, escorted by officers, walked toward her front door, she said, "I was grieved. I felt such grief for the people who had gone through this in the past--Waco, Ruby Ridge--all of those people. My spirit was grieved, I was weeping for all the people who have had their doors knocked down, their lives ruined. I told them [the officers], 'My heart goes out to these people'. I was so saddened, it just broke my heart." The officers, however, were unmoved. As the search of the home got under way, Saunders, still in handcuffs, sat in the living room with her husband and son under police guard. The search was protracted for several hours as officers combed through the 3600 square foot home. The search warrants were directed at items specific to Constitutional Colleagues, but the officers took particular interest in the family's collection of hunting rifles which were photographed and serial numbers recorded. Mr. Saunders asked the guard, "can you imagine if this was happening to your family or your parents, how you would feel?" The guard alone responded in a sympathetic manner. The other officers' demeanor was callous and uncivil. "It was very demeaning," Saunders said, with the officers "pushing you around. I felt like a criminal off the street." After a local media blitz which portrayed them as scam
[CTRL] U.N. military training in U.S. - PEACE KEEPING = CIVILIAN CONTROL
-Caveat Lector- A couple of important quotes from the material below: OBEDIENCE TO UN FIRST DUTY There is a principle that underlies declarations and policy emanating from the United Nations. That principle is spelled out in the book, Peace or Anarchy by Cord Meyer Jr. of the *United World Federalists*. "The UN must be given the constitutional authority to maintain security through laws which call for OBEDIENCE FROM THE INDIVIDUAL INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD AS THEIR FIRST DUTY and which no government can override." PEACE KEEPING = CIVILIAN CONTROL Military sources stated that the training is designed to provide realistic training by combining together foreign soldiers alongside U.S. troops. "Most of these countries don't deal with peace keeping missions." But "peace keeping is becoming much more prevalent in the world today", said U.S. Army Sergeant John Hartline. He revealed further what is actually meant by peace keeping when he stated, "it (peace keeping) is very important because a lot of the countries are not accustomed to dealing with civil disturbances and that's exactly what this training is about." Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart U.N. COMING INTO FOCUS! With the precision of a military strike, foreign troops descended on the Gulf Coast of the United States in late June and early July. As was reported in a previous WINDS report (see: "Peace Keeping" Armies Train for Global Control"), albeit the troops came at the invitation of the American government to be part of Cooperative Nugget '97. This military training exercise took place at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. The exercise brought together more than 4,000 soldiers from four NATO countries and eighteen European and Central Asian countries. These non-NATO countries are members of the United Nations, Partnership for Peace program, some of which may soon become members of the expanding NATO. In opening ceremony remarks the Supreme Allied Commander stated that, "Cooperative Nugget takes place at a decisive time in history," when it will take not fewer soldiers, but "greater soldiers, who understand what working together means." He said that it will require the "support of the U.S. Congress and the average American citizen who understand that the world is not a safer place to live. We are truly at the beginning of a new millennium where nations can and must work together." One wonders if the world is not a safe place because of these "greater soldiers." PEACE KEEPING = CIVILIAN CONTROL Military sources stated that the training is designed to provide realistic training by combining together foreign soldiers alongside U.S. troops. "Most of these countries don't deal with peace keeping missions." But "peace keeping is becoming much more prevalent in the world today", said U.S. Army Sergeant John Hartline. He revealed further what is actually meant by peace keeping when he stated, "it (peace keeping) is very important because a lot of the countries are not accustomed to dealing with civil disturbances and that's exactly what this training is about." This international collection of military personnel has been assembled under NATO sponsorship, with UN influence visible throughout. They are said to have been brought together to "hone their peace keeping skills" and this joint exercise serves to clarify how NATO and the UN define peace keeping. The training largely involves military interaction with civilian and non-military personnel under a variety of conditions. In a communique released to the press the organizers state, "During training exercises troops will deal with civilians and the (news) media through the unique rules of engagement required in these types of operations." In a series of photographs of the event, the soldiers are shown to be heavily armed when dealing with the yielding and passive populace. The photographs also show the techniques and tactics associated with humanitarian and peace keeping operations, which include a Hungarian soldier searching a civilian at a UN checkpoint, Lithuanian soldiers searching rooms for contraband items, a Turkish platoon leader escorting civilians during patrol training and a Polish soldier searching a civilian's baggage. In "React to a Civil Disturbance Training", one of 33 tasks in the situational training exercise, a Latvian soldier detains a civilian whose hands are raised in a surrender position. These are the soldiers who will be in charge of the world's next trouble spot and they are being trained to deal with whatever unfortunate people fall under their jurisdiction. The sight of these NATO - UN soldiers, bristling with heavy weaponry as they command and control the civilian population, is in striking contrast to the friendly and familiar local police officer who is always on hand to assist those he serves.

General Assembly on February 1, 1992, "It is to those sacred principles enshrined in the UN Charter that we must henceforth pledge our allegiance." President George Bush in his State of the Union Address, January 29, 1991, said "The world can therefore seize the opportunity (the Persian Gulf crisis) to fulfill the long held promise of a New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind." Brent Scowcroft, George Bush's National Security Advisor, said on the eve of the Gulf War. "A colossal event is upon us, the birth of a New World Order." President George Bush, September 11, 1990, said, "The Persian Gulf crisis is a rare opportunity to forge new bonds with old enemies (the Soviet Union)... Out of these troubled times a New World Order can emerge under a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders." James P. Warburg, International Financier, "We shall have a world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest." (James P.

Arnold Toynbee, historian, "We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands", (1931 speech to the Institute for the Study of International Affairs at Copenhagen) H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939) wrote, "... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people - will hate the new world order - and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people." Pope John Paul II said, "By the end of this decade (2000 AD) we will live under the first One World Government that has ever existed in the society of nations ... a government with absolute authority to decide the basic issues of human survival. One world government is inevitable." (Quoted by Malachi Martin in the book "The Keys of This Blood.) Willy Brandt, former West German Chancellor, former chairman of the Fifth-Socialist International, chairman of the Brandt Commission in the late 1980s, said, "The New World Order is a world that has a supernational authority to regulate world commerce and industry; an international organization that would control the production and consumption of oil; an international currency that would replace the dollar; a World Development Fund that would make funds available to free and Communist nations alike; and an international police force to enforce the edicts of the New World Order." Mikhail Gorbachev, in an address at the United Nations, December 1988, said, "Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a New World Order." Cord Meyer, Jr., of the United World Federalists, spelled out in his book, Peace or Anarchy a vital principle, "The UN must be given the constitutional authority to maintain security through laws which call for obedience from the individual inhabitants of the world as their first duty and which no government can override." President Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, said, "...This regionalization is in keeping with the Trilateral Plan which calls for a gradual convergence of East and West, ultimately leading toward the goal of "one world government'. ...National sovereignty is no longer a viable concept..." Vice President Al Gore appeared hours after U.S. planes enforcing an allied 'no fly' zone over northern Iraq accidentally shot down two U.S. helicopters, killing 15 Americans and 11 foreign officials. 'I want to extend condolences,' Gore said, 'to the families of those who died in the service of the United Nations.'" (Los Angeles Times, 6/12/94) Kofi Annan said in 1992, while Assistant to the Secretary-General, "Sometimes you have to say 'damn sovereignty.' That issue what should be the international response to ethnic and other disputes is going to be the issue of the 1990's. What matters are really internal to a country? How do you define what really threatens international security?" President John Kennedy proposed that we reduce our national armies to a national police force, and allow the only large army in the world to be that of the United Nations. (State Department
[CTRL] FW: Biotechnology companies face internet foe
-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart Another positive score to the "Rag-Tag" coalition. Notice the reporter's implication that the Deutschebank report was noised around by an Idaho consultant Charles Benbrook, (the former director of the Board on Agriculture at the National Academy of Sciences.) But the spreading is actually done by thousands - some of them "unlikely suspects" to whom thanks is also due. == St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Sunday, September 19, 1999 | 6:41 a.m. Biotechnology companies face new foe: the Internet By Bill Lambrecht WASHINGTON - Analysts at Deutsche Bank in Germany came up with some grim conclusions this summer about the financial prospects for genetically modified crops, saying companies such as Monsanto were losing battle after battle. A few years ago, the German report never would have traveled outside the rarefied air of global investors. But that was before the World Wide Web. This month, a consultant in Idaho arranged for the bank analysis to be posted on the Web, and in three days, thousands of people had downloaded the 25-page report and further disseminated it around the globe. Critics, farmers and people still making up their minds about the new technology had a new piece of information. The Internet is enabling mobilization like never before and, in the process, giving biotechnology companies fits. In recent months, St. Louis-based Monsanto Co. and its rivals in the new science of genetically engineering food have watched in dismay as pockets of protest have mushroomed. Europe and Japan are demanding the labeling of modified foods. A trade war is brewing between the United States and Europe. American farmers are wondering whether to continue sowing tens of millions of acres with gene-altered seeds. What is behind the recent developments? More people, especially Europeans, are raising questions about environmental safety, potential health effects and the power of the companies to determine the nature of food. But perhaps no single factor looms larger in biotechnology's tumble than the role of the Internet. The Web has given critics and skeptics the arena to post studies, opinions and vitriol for the world to consume. E-mail and listserves -- electronic mailing lists -- enable activists to work with one another and to exchange scraps of information instantly. All the activity leaves the impression, real or imagined, of a vibrant global movement. The "life science" companies and biotechnology devotees use the Internet, too, and in time they hope that it will play a key role in convincing the world that biotechnology can yield food that is not only safe, but better. But as it stands, one powerful new technology may be functioning to stem the growth of another powerful new technology. The Idaho consultant who distributed the German report, Charles Benbrook, contends that people who had misgivings in the past about farm and food policies had no means to link up and reinforce their beliefs. The Internet has changed all that. "Activists can transfer fresh and important information around the world with speed and ease," Benbrook said. "And that's something we've never experienced before." Changing policy Until last year, the most public responses received by the Department of Agriculture on a new rule was 7,000. Then Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman asked Americans to tell him what they thought of a new organic foods policy that would let food that was genetically engineered, irradiated or fertilized with sludge carry the government's new "organic" label. More than 250,000 people responded, mostly by e-mail, and the vast majority said it was a terrible idea. Under the nearly completed rules, genetically engineered food in the United States won't be labeled as organic. The Internet is becoming an important factor in politics and public policy debates on a host of issues. Until recently, interest groups usually consisted of associations with national memberships and slick magazines. Now, with the Internet, people can mobilize and pressure governments with the push of a button. "It changes the presumptions of representative democracy," said Phil Noble, a political consultant and founder of PoliticsOnline. "I think the Internet is going to do for public policy what the telephone did for lobbying." People can be mobilized, too, in ways that don't give a true picture of public sentiment. "In literally a matter of hours, I can create an interest group of tens of thousands on whatever my issue is right now, and mobilize them to send mail, e-mail or even rotten eggs," Noble said. Political scientist Michael Cornfield of George Washington University said "cyberlobbying" soon will dominate grass-roots organizing because of its speed and low cost. "It won't level the playing field between those who don't buy access and those who do, but it will make it easier for people to be involved in

Check out our "Use Of U.S. Troops Against Civilians" Web page. Read this astonishing documentation of the President's powers to declare martial law. More on our old friends at FEMA, those menacing Executive Orders, and the coming "National Emergency." Aren't you glad that the power to declare "National Emergencies" or to declare that individuals or groups are "terrorists" rests solely in President Clinton's wise and selfless hands? Forwarded message:From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (j. hrubesky) Few Americans--indeed, few Congressional reps--are aware of the existence of Mount Weather, a mysterious underground military base carved deep inside a mountain near the sleepy rural town of Bluemont, Virginia, just 46 miles from Washington DC. Mount Weather--also known as the Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict Operations--is buried not just in hard granite, but in secrecy as well. In March, 1976, The Progressive Magazine published an astonishing article entitled "The Mysterious Mountain." The author, Richard Pollock, based his investigative report on Senate subcommittee hearings and upon "several off-the-record interviews with officials formerly associated with Mount Weather." His report, and a 1991 article in Time Magazine entitled "Doomsday Hideaway", supply a few compelling hints about what is going on underground. Ted Gup, writing for Time, describes the base as follows: Mount Weather is a virtually self-contained facility. Aboveground, scattered across manicured lawns, are about a dozen buildings bristling with antennas and microwave relay systems. An on-site sewage-treatment plant, with a 90,000 gal.-a-day capacity, and two tanks holding 250,000 gal. of water could last some 200 people more than a month; underground ponds hold additional water supplies. Not far from the installation's entry gate are a control tower and a helicopter pad. The mountain's real secrets are not visible at ground level. The mountain's "real secrets" are protected by warning signs, 10 foot-high chain link fences, razor wire, and armed guards. Curious motorists and hikers on the Appalachian trail are relieved of their sketching pads and cameras and sent on their way. Security is tight. The government has owned the site since 1903; it has seen service as an artillery range, a hobo farm during the Depression, and a National Weather Bureau Facility. In 1936, the U.S. Bureau of Mines took control and started digging. Mount Weather is virtually an underground city, according to former personnel interviewed by Pollock. Buried deep inside the earth, Mount Weather was equipped with such amenities as: private apartments and dormitories streets and sidewalks cafeterias and hospitals a water purification system, power plant and general office buildings a small lake fed by fresh water from underground springs its own mass transit system a TV communication system Mount Weather is the self-sustaining underground command center for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The facility is the operational center--the hub--of approximately 100 other Federal Relocation Centers, most of which are concentrated in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. Together this network of underground facilities constitutes the backbone of America's "Continuity of Government" program. In the event of nuclear war, declaration of martial law, or other national emergency, the President, his cabinet and the rest of the Executive Branch would be "relocated" to Mount Weather. What Does Congress Know about Mount Weather? According to the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights hearings in 1975, Congress has almost no knowledge and no oversight --budgetary or otherwise--on Mount Weather. Retired Air Force General Leslie W. Bray, in his testimony to the subcommittee, said "I am not at liberty to describe precisely what is the role and the mission and the capability that we have at Mount Weather, or at any other precise location." Apparently, this underground capital of the United States is a secret only to Congress and the US taxpayers who paid for it. The Russians know about it, as reported in Time: "Few in the U.S. government will speak of it, though it is assumed that all along the Soviets have known both its precise location and its mission (unlike the Congress, since Bray wouldn't tell); defense experts take it as a given that the site is on the Kremlin's targeting maps." The Russians attempted to buy real estate right next door, as a "country estate" for their embassy folks, but that deal was dead-ended by the State Department.

Subject: Essene Information We create vibratory possibilities about what we want to create in our world. When thought, feeling, and emotion become as One we reach our highest potential. Since feeling is electromagnetic charges moving across cell walls in our bodies, we are effectively moving energy throughout our bodies, as well as outside of our bodies. We have 1.17volts of electrical potential in each of the cells in our bodies. This is the God energy within each of our cells - our power potential. We experience IN our bodies BEFORE the event is experienced externally. This means: WE ARE and WE DO CREATE OUR REALITY. The Essenes created an equation to move energy throughout our bodies. It can be defined as a "lost mode of prayer", unlike prayer as we know it. This information was 'tossed aside', thrown away by early Christians, namely Constantine and his council, in the year 325AD.Basically, what was left to pass on to later generations were the empty rituals. It is not the ritual that 'makes it happen'. The ritual is but the expression that sets the tone for your prayer. Behind each prayer is a thought form. For example: a person may pray for more money. What is the thought behind this prayer? It is," I don't have enough money. I live in scarcity, I need more." Therefore, instead of receiving more money, this person will indeed live in scarcity because that is the thought that went out into consciousness and became real. If we had had all of the information extracted from the scriptures, we may have learned to tune into the Earth's vibration and worked with it instead of inventing internal combustion, etc. that works against the Earth's vibration. Amazingly, we have come quite a long way without this information. We have found it along the way, although we are not all using these methods - yet. The Essenes lived by these four tenants: 1. Only One of us is here. This is a holographic consciousness, a pattern whole and complete unto itself which is part of a larger pattern, and on and on into infinity. Each time an individual chooses a new option this person becomes a bridge. They have created a new way which changes the hologram of human consciousness. 2. The Unity consciousness is moving collectively toward this rare moment in history. We have lived in polarity, duality. Each time one person chooses to move out of this pattern, the consciousness changes. 3. We have direct access to the Creative Forces of this world. This is the Essene mode of Prayer. See it, say it, and it is done. You directly access creation, you create. 4. We have access to a 'secret science'. It is the Science of Compassion, the most ancient of sciences that allows us to gracefully transcend the greatest challenges of our lives with grace. The Essenes taught, and this is correlated by Tibetan monks, the world's record keepers, that you must embody the thought, feeling, emotion and knowing that IT IS DONE AND IT IS TRUE. "It is done." We have heard "Ask and you shall receive~ Ask and it will be given you." The actual translation from the Aramaic is: Ask without hidden motive and be surrounded by your answer." (Ask and see it done.) The asking perpetuates the event. Instead of asking for peace in our world, give thanks for the peace in the world and change the world paradigm. This is the time of no time. We are creating it at this moment. The Tibetans see nothing beyond the Kali Yoga because it is being invented by us as we live it. This is a very different time than our past times. The Essene information matches with the Tibetan information, which matches with the Mayan information and the Hopi. We've heard it used in many contexts, but this truly is what the New Age means. The "secret" of the Essenes was "PEACE". The Masters taught that you could 'move the mountain' if you aligned yourself, and therefore your world, in a vibratory template. You can invision this as three circles, one on top of the other. The circles from top to bottom were: thought, feelings, and emotions. ( They coupled emotions with the physical - the body.) When all three are aligned and mirror each other, you are in your optimum truth and your full power. You dishonor Self if you say one thing and feel another, you have shifted out of alignment with your pure potential. The Essenes asked: "How do we create a unified pattern in thought, word, emotion and feeling in alignment?" 1. Find peace in body/emotions. 2. Seek peace in feelings. Call in Love to purify. 3. Seek peace in
[CTRL] CND chief was Stasi secret agent
-Caveat Lector- SSUE 1577 Sunday 19 September 1999 Electronic Telegraph CND chief was Stasi secret agent By Andrew Alderson and David Bamber Professor Victor Allen A UNIVERSITY professor who was on the national council of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was a communist agent, The Telegraph reveals today. Vic Allen, a retired professor of economics at Leeds University, passed confidential information about CND to East German intelligence officers and manipulated the peace movement into taking a Soviet-friendly line. According to secret files compiled by the Stasi, the East German secret police, Mr Allen provided information on CND leaders and activists for several years during the Eighties and visited the East German Embassy in London. In 1985, he unsuccessfully attempted to succeed Joan Ruddock as the chairman of CND, which then had 400,000 members. The Telegraph has learnt that MI5 had a file on Mr Allen, 77, but it is not known if the security service was fully aware of his activities. He has admitted being an informer but denies betraying his country, acting illegally or receiving payments. He said: "I feel no regrets." Security experts said Mr Allen, who lives in Keighley, West Yorks, would have been regarded as an "agent of influence" by the Stasi. He is the fourth Communist asset to be unmasked within the past nine days - causing embarrassment to the security services and the Government. Robin Pearson, a lecturer at Hull University, was named as a Stasi spy on Friday. The Home Office said yesterday that although he was interviewed by MI5 in 1994, it was decided not to prosecute him as there was no "usable evidence". Yesterday, Ann Widdecombe, the shadow home secretary, demanded that the Government disclose details of all alleged communist spies. She said: "What I want Jack Straw to do is to stop what is now happening, which is that we are only finding out about these things through press revelations." CND, formed in 1958, said it was "appalling and disgusting" that Mr Allen fed information on its members to the East Germans. A spokesman said: "It is deeply concerning that anybody should be passing on information on our members. We were used to being targeted by MI5 and the Ministry of Defence, but now we find that former Soviet states were after information on us." Mr Allen, who packed CND meetings with Soviet sympathisers, aimed to promote Moscow's unilateral cause within the organisation, urging that Britain alone disarm its nuclear weapons. Rival factions wanted the Kremlin to disarm too. In an interview with BBC2's The Spying Game to be broadcast next month, Mr Allen admits that he provided information to East Germany. He said: "It was perfectly legitimate that I should do that as the faction I belonged to was the pro-Soviet faction, the pro-GDR faction . . . I have no shame. I feel no regrets about that at all. My only regret is that we didn't succeed and in the end we lost our influence in CND." A senior adviser to the Home Secretary said Mr Straw would not agree to Miss Widdecombe's demand to issue a list of names of those suspected of treachery. He said: "Hundreds of people have been investigated over the years and it would bring their identities into the public domain.

Since the World Bank acts on the distilled essence of conventional wisdom, this means that the international financial community no longer regards either capital control or Malaysia's prime minister as taboo. The most important short-term consequence of this change will be on Japan, which has toyed with the idea of capital controls. But more importantly in the long run, the rehabilitation of Mahathir from lunatic to visionary will bring his other ideas into play. Of particular importance is his idea of a regional Asian bloc excluding the United States, based on the yen and Japan, with capital controls as a regional management tool. Neither of these outcomes is intended by the World Bank or the IMF, but both are the embodiment of the unintended consequence. Analysis: The World Bank has executed an important and somewhat startling reversal of position on Malaysia's use of capital controls to solve its economic problems. Joseph Stiglitz, the World Bank's chief economist, said Sept. 15, "There has been a fundamental change in mindset on the issue of short-term capital flows and these kind of interventions - a change in the mind set that began two years ago." He went on to say that "in the context of Malaysia and the quick recovery in Malaysia, the fact that the adverse effects that were predicted - some might say that some people wished upon Malaysia - did not occur is also and important lesson." These were not casual remarks. They were made during the presentation of a key World Bank annual document, the "World Development Review," and were meant to be taken seriously. Indeed, Stiglitz's comments came a week after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) praised Malaysia for its skillful handling of capital controls. These comments represent a fundamental shift in the international economic establishment's understanding of how that system works. The economists at the World Bank and the IMF are not particularly original or imaginative, and their track record in predicting and managing the twists and turns of the international system is not, to say the least, impressive. Thus, viewing their policy shifts as contributions to economic theory is not particularly useful. Stiglitz and his colleagues at the World Bank and the IMF are not people who go out on the limb with dramatically novel idea. They like to move with the herd. That is what makes Stiglitz's statement extraordinarily important. It shows that the herd is making one of its periodic migrations. The World Bank's chief economist doesn't lead the convention. He is a superbly sensitive weather vane - he follows it. During the 1960s and 1970s, the World Bank was committed to massive, government-run infrastructure projects, reflecting the conventional economic wisdom at the time that the state is the appropriate engine for economic growth, at least in the developing world. During the 1980s, when the conventional system shifted to the view that the free market was the most efficient means of capital allocation and economic growth, the World Bank slowly and painfully shifted again. They stuck with the free market position throughout the Asian meltdown. Now, two years after the bloodbath, they are slowly shifting again, not only endorsing capital controls, but praising their own arch- nemesis, Malaysia's Mahathir. Stiglitz is following the new conventional wisdom: capital controls are chic. Whether capital controls are good or bad doesn't really matter. What matters is that they have been accepted by a highly politicized, extremely powerful segment of the international community that the World Bank/IMF complex is part of and serves. This is the international financial community, understood as the national bankers, the leading international banks and the political elites to which they connect. Stiglitz's comments reveal that the 20-year love affair with a purely free market approach to international financial flows is, if not coming to an end, nevertheless being severely modified.

Cholera the next viral outbreak
Following in the footsteps of the Melissa macro virus is the
Cholera virus. Although, unlike Melissa, it relies on an
executable program ("setup.exe") to cause infections, it
propagates in much the same way. Once your system is infected,
the virus scans your hard disk for email addresses that it can
send copies of itself to. The unsuspecting recipient receives a
short email containing only a smiley face ":)" with an attachment
(setup.exe).
Reach out and bug someone
Mobile phones are becoming such an essential business - and
lifestyle - tool that they rarely register on our reality
perceptors. Like traditional telephones, mobile phones are
practically ubiquitous and no one would question their presence
in an office or business environment.
But that may soon change.
Newer models now incorporate several interesting features that
can be put to uses unanticipated by their inventors.
For instance, many models now offer a completely silent mode of
operation - no beeping or ringing when there is an incoming call
or message. Others can be configured to automatically answer
incoming calls - handy for taking hands-free calls while driving.
But the combination of these features can transform the humble
mobile telephone into a remote-controlled bugging device.
Want to know what your colleagues talk about when you leave a
meeting to make some photocopies? Leave your mobile phone behind
and call it from reception. When it automatically and silently
answers the call, it will broadcast the conversation in the
meeting room back to you. Thanks to increasingly longer standby
battery life, you could even discretely place the mobile phone in
a meeting room days or hours before it is scheduled to take
place.
If this worries you, then you probably don't want to know how
mobile phones could also be used to track someone's location
(while, of course, bugging them).
Lauren Weinstein, moderator of the Privacy Forum, covered these
risks and others in a recent article.

Windows backdoors and the NSA
There has been considerable news coverage recently concerning
allegations that Microsoft Corp. deliberately inserted code into
their Windows 2000 operating system that would allow the US
National Security Agency (NSA) unregulated access to computers
using that operating system.
While such allegations make for interesting stories, to date no
conclusive proof has been offered that such a backdoor(s) exist.
However, you can bet that a number of researchers are now
looking.
HERF guns: fact or fiction?
HERF (High Energy Radio Frequency) guns - weapons that use radio
frequencies to "kill" computer systems by disrupting their
internal hardware components - have been well documented, in
conceptual terms at least, for some time.
In the battlefield of the future, computer systems, not soldiers
or weaponry, are likely to be the deciding factor in victory.
Computer systems will aid battlefield communications and
logistics, suggest tactics and keep track of friends and foe.
This has led many strategists to speculate that the next arms
race won't involve building nuclear or biological missiles, but
rather designing weaponry that can "nuke" computer systems.
Why send in troops to take over and then disable an enemy's
telecommunications infrastructure, for example, if you can stay
at home and simply lob a missile that will do the same thing?
It appears that the race has well and truly begun.
