[CTRL] Isolationist! - nativist - racist - fascist - Hitler-lov in' Nazi -
-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: Damian B. Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 September 1999 05:43 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [prj] "Isolationist!" - "nativist" - "racist" - "fascist" - "Hitler-lovin' Nazi" - From another list ... Taking an "America First" position is indeed politically incorrect and deserving of the most vicious defamation and demonization. This is why Pat Buchanan is being pummeled at virtually every turn with such unfounded epithets as "Isolationist!" - "nativist" - "racist" - "fascist" or "Hitler-lovin' Nazi." Sure, and Karl Marx was a born-again Christian. Suggestion ... Read his book "Republic not Empire" and make up your own mind instead of again blindly relying on a bunch of subjective moral relativists in pursuit of an anti-Western agenda. Konrad __ __ September 22, 1999 BUCHANAN VERSUS THE WAR PARTY: AN EPIC BATTLE by Justin Raimondo Pat Buchanan's blockbuster book, A Republic, Not an Empire, - the magnificent manifesto of conservative noninterventionism reviewed in my last column - has the War Party in a panic. Both the "right" and "left" wings are up in arms, howling for the blood of the heretic. How dare he challenge that holiest of interventionist holies, World War II, the crucible of the Soviet Empire and the creator and guarantor of the modern Welfare-Warfare State! THE LYNCH MOB GATHERS From such worthies as Bill Kristol, William Safire, Charles Krauthammer, and all the usual suspects on the neoconservative "Right," to Chris Matthews, the Anti-Defamation League, Salon Magazine, and what remains of the Popular Front coalition of the 1930s, the chorus of condemnation is not only loud: these people are practically frothing at the mouth. This impressive display of Left-Right unanimity underscores the narrowness of the politically permissible and the reality of the ideological dictatorship we are living under. The war cries of the media lynch mob are stunning in their vehemence and their variety: "Isolationist!" - "nativist" - "racist" - "fascist" - "Hitler-lovin' Nazi" - the string of epithets is endless, and you can feel the spittle on your face as the words, propelled by hyperventilated outrage, leap off the page. All are all piling on Pat in a frenzied (and barely coherent) attempt to not only rebut his case but to completely discredit and banish the subject from public discussion - permanently, if possible. A TEST CASE For the War Party, this is a test case. If they can defeat and destroy Buchanan on this issue, then their job is made all that much easier the next time they want to launch a "humanitarian" invasion of a sovereign nation. The argument will go something like this: THE ARGUMENT FROM INTIMIDATION "So, you oppose sending U.S. troops to, say, Colombia, or to the Caucasus - what are you, some kind of isolationist-nativist-racist-Nazi Buchanan-loving subversive? What about World War II? What about Hitler?!" There will be no argument, no debate over the merits of the issue - because the goal of Pat's opponents is to make rational discussion of foreign policy a hate crime. The War Party has big ambitions for the new millennium, and they aren't going to let the American electoral process trifle with their plans. TRUMPING HISTORY The desperation of these people, in their frantic flailing at Buchanan, reached comic proportions when they pulled out their real trump card - Donald Trump! Known as "The Donald" to those New Yorkers who have come to know and disdain him over the years, the multimillionaire casino operator and real estate developer has had a reputation as a man-about-town with a remarkable penchant for vulgarity - both in his architectural tastes and his personal life - but never, until this moment, as an historian. THE PLAYBOY HISTORIAN Alas, the New York playboy's debut as a social commentator specializing in diplomatic history is not exactly auspicious. Trump bellows that Buchanan "is denigrating the memory of those who died in that war." Does this also apply to critics of the Vietnam war - and, if not, why not? THE DRONE "Pat says Hitler had no malicious intent toward the United States," Mr. Trump said in an interview. "Well, Hitler killed six million Jews and millions of others. Don't you think it was only a question of time before he got to us? He tackled Europe first and we were next. Pat's amazing." What is amazing is a media that takes The Donald seriously. Asked if he had even bothered to read the book he was denouncing, Trump reassured his Newsday interviewer that "I've seen the phrases we're dealing with." Phrases is right: at most, Trump skimmed a few sentences and was put through his paces by the Bush team. Here is the ugly reality of the smear campaign that is now going into high gear: since it doesn't matter what Buchanan actually wrote, it wasn't really necessary for Trump to read A Republic, Not an Empire - given
[CTRL] High tech terror
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldtribune.com/index-two-text.html For rest of article. Commission: "Americans will die on American soil" from high tech terror SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Thursday, September 23, 1999 WASHINGTON -- The United States is increasingly vulnerable to high-technology terrorism, particularly a biological weapons attack, that could result in massive casualties, a presidential commission says. The Commission on National Security, sponsored by President Bill Clinton and Congress, released a 143-page report on Tuesday that presented a dire forecast of the prospect of terrorism in the United States. The commission was composed of 25 former defense officials who served under U.S. administrations "For many years to come, Americans will become increasingly less secure," the report said. "America will become increasingly vulnerable to hostile attack on our homeland, and our military superiority will not entirely protect us. Americans will likely die on American soil, possibly in large numbers. Threats to American security will be more diffuse, harder to anticipate and more difficult to neutralize than ever before." The key threat is terrorist use of biological weapons. The report says terrorists are acquiring biological weapons and other technological tools for attacks. "The most serious threat to our security may consist of unannounced attacks on American cities by sub-national groups using genetically engineered pathogens," the report said. "In the hands of despots, the new science could become a tool of genocide on an unprecedented scale." The report says terrorists have greater access to technology and can launch cyber attacks that disrupt air traffic control systems and create hundreds of air collisions and accidents. Commission members said the report reflects intelligence reports and follows similar studies by the Pentagon and Congress. "This report is hardly apocalyptic," former Senator Warren Rudman said. "I have all the facts." The report follows similar studies released by the Pentagon in 1997 and Congress last assessing the post-Cold War threat of terrorism to the United States. U.S. President Bill Clinton agreed. "The possibility that terrorists will threaten us with weapons of mass destruction cannot be met with complacency," he said at the United Nations in New York. Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov called for international cooperation to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to terrorists. Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said Russia would support a UN conference or a special session of the General Assembly in 2000 on ways of combatting terrorism. "Militant nationalism, separatism, terrorism and extremism regardless of their forms, have no borders," he said. "Nobody is safe."

Nicky MOTORISTS may have to produce their driving licences to the police on demand - the first peacetime requirement on Britons to carry identification documents. A report from a Government action team says the case for compulsory carrying of driving documents is yet to be made. However, it says the police are pressing strongly for powers to check the new photo-licences at the roadside. The action team says compelling motorists to carry driving licences should be reconsidered once technology for transmitting photographs to terminals in police cars is fully tested. "This benefit would be enhanced if paper driving licences were recalled and replaced with the photocard licences," says the report. Mr Straw said he was keeping the option open.

[CTRL] Behind the turmoil in Russia by JR Nyquist
-Caveat Lector- Behind the turmoil in Russia © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com According to a Moscow Times editorial, the Kremlin has destroyed evidence at explosion sites where nearly 300 Russians have been killed in recent terrorist bombings. In one instance, at the obliterated apartment block on Ulitsa Guryanova, vital clues were lost when security officials employed a "controlled implosion" to bury the remains of the building. This was done 10 days after the terrorist attack. Compare this performance to that of the Oklahoma City bombing case, in which five weeks elapsed before the site was imploded. Russian officials are in a hurry to get past the evidence, to wage a subtle propaganda war against a mysterious undeclared enemy. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, former chief of Russia's secret police, has stated that "there is no doubt" that the Moscow bombings are linked to the Islamic incursion in Dagestan. And who is behind the Islamic incursion? In terms of assigning blame for the incursion, Prime Minister Putin initially zeroed in on two key countries -- Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. These countries were said to be supporting the Islamic warriors in Dagestan and Chechnya. In response to this charge, Saudi Arabia denied giving support to the Islamic warriors. In a curious reversal, Russian officials welcomed this denial. If the Kremlin was not fishing for a scapegoat, if it had positive evidence of Saudi and Pakistani involvement, then why would the Kremlin welcome the Saudi denials? Perhaps some further enemy of Russia is to be assigned ultimate blame (in the fullness of time). One has to wonder. Perhaps that enemy is America, which has already been blamed for "looting Russia" and orchestrating NATO aggression against Russia's Serbian "brothers" in Eastern Europe. The immediate leaders of the Islamic incursion into Dagestan are Shamil Basayev and Habib Abdel Rahman Khattab. According to Russian reports, Basayev and Khattab did not receive support for their incursion from the people of Dagestan. The war is not an uprising of unhappy native Moslems. Instead, it is portrayed as an externally supported invasion of Russia. It has been claimed that Basayev and Khattab are relying on Islamic fighters from all over south and central Asia, as well as Chechnya. Basayev is a Chechen leader and Khattab is a Saudi-born Moslem veteran of the Afghan War. It is a strange fact that Basayev and Khattab come from conflicting Islamic traditions. Khattab comes from the Islamic fundamentalist tradition, which greatly differs from the liberal Sufi tradition of Basayev's Chechens. The inconsistencies of the alliance between Basayev and Khattab point to the fact that their Islamic cause is only a mask. Underneath that mask lies a secret network of KGB agents established during a Communist sponsored Islamic revival which was initiated by Gorbachev's Politburo in the late 1980s. Aiming at a controlled regeneration of Islam in Soviet Central Asia and the Caucasus, Gorbachev authorized the opening of Mosques and the publication of Islamic periodicals. Islamic holy men were admitted into the Soviet army to comfort Soviet Moslems. Mullahs were even put on Soviet television. It can be argued that the Communist-directed Islamic revival of ten years ago was part of a long-term preparation for a controlled civil war. This civil war now masks a general Russian mobilization of military and secret police resources. Tens of thousands of arrests have already taken place throughout Russia. Untold numbers of troops have been secretly mobilized. A state of undeclared emergency prevails in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other former Soviet republics. And while this internal crisis supposedly absorbs the Russian military, Moscow's bombers nonetheless find time to aggressively probe U.S. air defenses in Alaska, as they did last Friday. When the United States sent fighters to intercept the Russian bombers and drive them back, the Kremlin howled with outrage. The bombers weren't violating Alaskan air space, said the Russians. They were merely traveling to the extreme tip of Russia. It is an odd time to be renewing the gamesmanship of the Cold War. In truth, military preparations and mobilizations continue throughout the former Soviet Union. As these words are written the Russian and Ukrainian Black Sea fleets are engaged in joint military exercises. We must not take today's turmoil in Russian at face value. The calculated bungling in Russia's past military campaign against Chechnya should be obvious to anyone who knows the competence of the Russian General Staff. Chechen independence is therefore a sham. Economic and geographical factors alone make real independence a virtual impossibility for the breakaway province. The old KGB structures held the region tightly for decades. All opposition was systematically crushed. In fact, the only opposition possible in

Re: [CTRL] FW: The Problem With Banks [rant]
-Caveat Lector- Admirably put, to illuminate the sheer absurdity of the con-game known as "banking." "Banking" charges are on a par with "taxes," exacted from us by "government" largely to pay the salaries of the tax collectors, collectively the "government." Somehow, after these salaries (and fringe benefits) are deducted from our tax dollars, there's just never enough left over to pay for those "services" taxes are ALLEGEDLY being collected for. Lest we see through the con and object to being subjected to EXTORTION by members of a small Mafia-like "secret society" masquerading officiously as "public servants," they've had to put the fear of God in us with their "enforcers," the IRS, to define anyone who refuses to be a VICTIM of criminal extortion as, ironically, the "CRIMINAL" here -- and thus the purpose of "Law" itself is perverted, making it a means of preserving and institutionalizing INjustice instead of protecting the just from predation by criminals. Such "Catch-22" double-binds (mindfucks) are SO fundamental to "civilization," SO ancient (beginning with Sumer), that few of us ever dare QUESTION the incongruity of their "purpose" with their results, asking ourselves: "What's wrong with this picture?" The greatest mindfuck of all is what hypnotizes human beings into believing in every ideal and hypothetical ("as if") abstraction as somehow "ultimately" MORE real, more trustworthy, than what's obvious to their physical senses, sans "pretty lies" or alibis. Let me give you a gross and absurdly simple example: One day you stumble upon a man angrily and with all his strength stomping a puppy dog to death. Your senses instantly inform you of what is actually happening here, in the REAL world, and your immediate reaction is visceral and emotional -- you are horrified and outraged, and if you have any "heart," your first impulse is to try and STOP this villain from injuring and killing a small defenseless animal. BUT the man realizes that his actions are being witnessed by another person --it's now become a PUBLIC act, not a private one-- who is judging him harshly and may intervene to prevent this act or even punish him for it, so he turns to you and ... "EXPLAINS." His WORDS put into your MIND the picture of some "reason" --an IMAGINARY picture, involving some other "reality" (time, place, events) which YOU have NOT perceived with YOUR senses-- that shoves aside the evidence of your physical senses, taking up the space which PERCEPTION had occupied until then, becoming a SUBSTITUTE for it. You become UNconscious of the reality before your very eyes while giving full attention to a DIFFERENT, UNEXPERIENCED "picture" presented to your IMAGINATION, looking inward at a "simulated reality" in your own head instead of outward at the REAL world. The man who's stomping a puppy to death PERSUADES you that it's "justiifed" by blah-blah-blah (e.g., the pup has rabies but it hasn't manifested yet, so he's "really" protecting others IN THE FUTURE) -- or the act witnessed is unfortunate but "forgivable" because blah-blah-blah (e.g., the puppy has killed someone dear to him IN THE PAST [insert pathetic verbal pictures evocative of GREATER sympathy] and he's simply "lost control," blindly avenging himself) -- or, one way or another, it's "really" for everyone's good, if "seen" in another context that you haven't SENSORILY perceived, and can't. So, the VERBAL ABSTRACT-SYMBOLIC PERSUASIVE SKILLS of the man stomping the puppy dog achieve their end --or if you're naive and gullible enough to surrender your own judgment uncritically to anyone who invokes the right concepts (buzz-words, for instance "responsibility" or "principle" or other presumed values "higher" than LIFE)-- then you tell yourself, with a sigh of relief, that the brute isn't "REALLY" murdering an innocent, defenseless animal, he's doing SOMETHING ELSE --the same physical act reinterpreted abstract-symbolically, never mind what it "appears" to be to your senses-- and you no longer respond emotionally with horror and outrage but with ACCEPTANCE. Hence the man killing the puppy, in your trancelike state, is NOT "killing" the "puppy." Could there be anything more like "hypnosis" than such a complete denial of what is physically real, and to be judged accordinglly, in favor of some HALLUCINATORY image created by WORDS ALONE, with no perceptible substance in present time space? Think about that, and repeat the above example, substituting OTHER HUMAN BEINGS --even YOURSELF, in some cases-- for the "puppy" who is being brutalized by what is undoubtedly a savage, but a MODERN savage clever in rhetorical skills who can offer you all the "reasons" in the world for such behavior, so many "explanations" to justify sacrificing the intrinsic value of human life to some purely verbal-symbolic CONCEPT "BEYOND" it -- and thanks to your deficiency in CONSCIOUSNESS, all with YOUR consent, and worse yet (in its effect on others!), your COMPLICITY in HIS

[CTRL] Sexual Predators on the 'Net -- for Disney
-Caveat Lector- And then there's the rumor (still awaiting confirmation) of a prominent Fortune 500 CEO busted for pedophilia last month -- a fact never publicly reported, thanks to the intervention of Wall Street, worried about what effect news of his arrest might have on the Dow Jones right now ... (An illustration of the ruthlessly amoral face of "insider trading" at the TOP?) Infoseek Executive Arrested by FBI in Sex Sting Los Angeles, Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- An Infoseek Corp. executive who has overseen Walt Disney Co.'s Go Network online site was arrested last week after allegedly soliciting sex on the Internet from an FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old girl. Patrick Naughton, executive vice president of products at Infoseek, Disney's partner in the Go Network, was taken into custody on Thursday in Santa Monica, California, where he had planned to meet the girl, who turned out to be an undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The arrest is an embarrassing blow to Disney and the wholesome, family-friendly image it presents to the public. It comes as Disney plans to buy the rest of Infoseek that it doesn't already own, combine it with its own Internet assets and create a stock to track the new company's performance. Naughton was in charge of all content for the Go Network and was to be a part of the team leading Go.com, which will include such sites as Disney.com and Family.com. Sunnyvale, California-based Infoseek said Naughton is no longer an employee. The company declined to say whether he was fired or resigned as a result of the arrest. Disney declined to comment, referring calls to Infoseek. Naughton couldn't immediately be reached to comment. He had been an employee of Starwave Corp., which develops Web sites including ESPN.com, when Disney bought Starwave. Starwave was later traded to Infoseek as part of Disney's initial investment in the company. Naughton, 34, who lives in Seattle, was charged with interstate travel with the intention of having sex with a minor, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. 100,000 Bond Naughton was released after agreeing to pay $100,000 if he fails to appear in court for scheduled hearings. He also agreed to make a 15 percent cash deposit on the bond within one week from last Friday, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles. Naughton is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing on Oct. 7, though that hearing may be canceled if he is indicted before then. His arraignment hearing is scheduled for Oct. 12, Mrozek said. Using the name ``hotseattle,'' Naughton allegedly began posting lewd messages in early March in an Internet chat room regularly used by adult males seeking minor girls for sex. He began corresponding with a male FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old girl, according to the complaint. Naughton allegedly told the agent on the Web site that he was chatting on his computer from his office and that he ran a company. Naughton also allegedly told the agent that he was chatting with a couple of other girls and had planned to meet them. He was taken into custody at the Santa Monica Pier, a crowded area at the beach with an amusement park and other attractions for children. Mrozek said Naughton was part of a larger investigation by a multiagency task force known as Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement that involves local, state and federal law enforcement offices. Infoseek shares fell 1 to 27 3/4, while Disney fell 1/16 to 28 3/16. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.

Re: [CTRL] 9-Year-Old Led Gang Rape [More Kidz] ...
-Caveat Lector- 11-Year-Old To Be Tried as Adult By SHARON COHEN .c The Associated Press PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - It is a crisp fall night and the shooter stands alone, holding a .22-caliber rifle. He fires, fatally striking an 18-year-old man. Then he flees. Two days later, police arrest a suspect. But when they find their man, it turns out he is a boy. He is sitting in a sixth-grade classroom. It is Halloween and his face is painted for a party. He is just 11. His name is Nathaniel Abraham. And now, two years after his arrest, he is set to face trial in October as an adult on murder charges - one of the youngest people ever to do so in the United States. Conviction carries a possible sentence of life without parole. The trial had been expected to start Tuesday, but the Michigan Court of Appeals on Friday granted a delay of at least three weeks until witnesses are available. When Nathaniel faces a jury, it will have to decide whether he was a cold-blooded sniper or a prankster whose errant shot went astray. But this case is about more than one question, one boy and one tragedy. It has stirred debate over whether young kids truly understand their legal rights, why they commit violent crimes and when - and f - they should be treated as adults. Nathaniel has become a poster child for both sides. Some law enforcement officials say he proves the need to get tough with kids who are a menace to society. But Amnesty International chose his frightened face to illustrate the cover of a 1998 report condemning America's justice system as being too harsh on juveniles. Nathaniel was no symbol, just another suspect when he was hauled into the police station, still wearing his Halloween makeup. There would be no returning to school that day. The suspect was barely 4-foot-9 and weighed 65 pounds. But anyone who remembers places such as Jonesboro, Ark., knows baby-faced children and guns can be a lethal combination. At age 11, Nathaniel was already well known to police. Though charged only once with a break-in, he had been a suspect in nearly two dozen crimes, including burglary, larceny, home invasion, arson, threatening classmates, beating two teens with metal pipes and snatching a woman's purse at gunpoint. His mother, Gloria, who worked nights as a lab technician, had tried unsuccessfully to get him into a residential treatment program. Days before his arrest, she found a gun in her basement and turned it in to police. That didn't stop Nathaniel, according to court records that provide the following account: On Oct. 29, 1997, Nathaniel and a friend were firing shots near a garage with a .22-caliber rifle. A neighbor ran out and a bullet whizzed past his head; he yelled and the boys ran off. Hours later, Nathaniel stood with the rifle as three young men walked out of a store. Prosecutors say he was standing nearly 300 feet away when he fired twice; the second bullet struck Ronnie Green Jr. in the head. He died hours later. Nathaniel told police he was aiming at trees across the street. But prosecutors say he bragged to friends before and after, first that he was going to shoot someone, then that he had actually done so. But what Nathaniel said - and understood - during more than an hour of police interrogation has been the subject of two years of court battles. Police didn't tell the 11-year-old they wanted to talk with him about a fatal shooting. Green's killing only came up after he and his mother waived their rights and the boy was questioned without a lawyer. Since then, his lawyers have maintained that Nathaniel, a slow learner with the reasoning abilities of a 6-year-old and language skills of an 8-year-old, could not have understood the Miranda warnings. Last year, when his lawyer asked at a hearing whether he understood what it meant when police told him he had the right to remain silent, Nathaniel replied: ``Can't go nowhere.'' His mother, Gloria, also said she would not have allowed police to interview her son had she known it was about a murder. ``They coerced him to talk and say different things,'' she said last year. ``I don't think he knew the severity of what was going on. I was scared myself, and I'm an adult.'' The trial court judge threw out Nathaniel's statement admitting that he'd fired the rifle, and said the boy didn't know the consequences of his words or why he was being interrogated. But the Michigan Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, reinstated it, saying Nathaniel's ``own words plainly indicated that he had an adequate understanding of his right to counsel.'' The state Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal. Nathaniel's statement could be used by prosecutors. And they had something else on their side: A new law. Ask state Sen. William Van Regenmorter about juvenile crime, and he quickly rattles off horror stories: the mother taunted by a teen accused of killing her son; the widow who sat in court watching three boys smirk and joke as they faced charges of

[CTRL] Contact Lost with Mars Probe
-Caveat Lector- NASA Loses Contact With Mars Probe By MATTHEW FORDAHL .c The Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - NASA's first interplanetary weather satellite failed to re-establish contact with Earth early today after it was supposed to complete an engine procedure to place it in orbit around Mars. The Mars Climate Orbiter, one of two probes scheduled to arrive at the red planet this year to study the weather and search for evidence of water, should have regained contact with Earth at 2:26 a.m. ``We're ... not quite sure what's happening,'' said project manager Richard Cook of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a half-hour after the signal was to be received on Earth. The probe was behind the planet - and out of radio contact - during most of the 17-minute engine firing that should have placed it in orbit. Contact should have been established by 2:30 a.m. at the latest. Mission organizers were scrambling to regain contact and said several features aboard the probe were designed to reconnect it with Earth in case of a computer shutdown or other common spacecraft problems. ``At this point, we're still confident we're going to see the spacecraft signal in the next few hours,'' Cook said. The orbiter and its companion, the Mars Polar Lander, carry instruments designed to discover the fate of water believed to have once formed rivers or lakes on the planet. Mission scientists say water is the key to determining whether life ever existed on Mars. The lander, which was launched separately, is due to arrive Dec. 3. The 1,387-pound orbiter was to have fired its main engine early today, slowing the spacecraft to 9,840 mph from its interplanetary cruising speed of 12,300 mph. Within about a half-hour, the craft was to signal that it was not zooming past Mars or plunging to the surface. The signal takes 11 minutes to cross the 121.9 million miles to Earth. The craft is supposed to establish an elliptical orbit and then, over 45 days, dip into the planet's thin atmosphere and use the drag to make its course more circular. By mid-November, the probe was to be in a 262-mile-high orbit and ready to relay data between Earth and the Mars Polar Lander when it arrives a few weeks later. Both probes are part of a $327.5 million mission collectively known as Mars Surveyor '98, NASA's latest in a series of relatively inexpensive robot probes. The orbiter rocketed into space last Dec. 11 and its sibling probe was launched Jan. 3. In 1997, Mars Pathfinder and its rover, Sojourner, explored the geology of the planet and found some evidence that water may once have flowed. The Mars Global Surveyor, which arrived later that year, mapped the surface and found more signs of once-flowing water. The Mars Climate Orbiter is equipped with two instruments that will be turned on after the probe has finished relaying data from the lander. Observations will continue for 687 days - a full Martian year. The Mars Color Imager will take wide- and medium-angle snapshots of the planet's atmosphere similar to an Earth-based weather satellite. Another instrument called the Pressure Modulator Infrared Radiometer will measure temperatures, dust, water vapor and clouds from the Martian surface to above the horizon.

[CTRL] Bush's Military-Industrial Complex
-Caveat Lector- Bush Seeks $20B for New Weapons By RON FOURNIER .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush is promising to ``redefine war on our terms'' with a defense policy that pumps billions of dollars into the search for new weapons he said would help America keep the peace. Unveiling his plans for the U.S. military in a speech today, the GOP front-runner said he would increase spending on research and development of weapons, raise soldiers' salaries, develop an anti-ballistic missile system and avoid ``vague, aimless and endless'' troop deployments throughout the world. ``If elected, I will set three goals: I will renew the bond of trust between the American president and the American military; I will defend the American people against missiles and terror; and I will begin creating the military of the next century,'' he said in an early draft of his speech to the Citadel military academy in Charleston, S.C. ``The best way to keep the peace is to redefine war on our terms,'' he said. The two-term Texas governor holds a hefty lead in polls over all Democratic and Republican presidential contenders. The address - part of a series of speeches designed to spell out his presidential agenda - is an answer to critics who say Bush is not ready to be president and that his views on public policy are undeveloped. In advance of his remarks, Democrats warned that Bush wanted to return to the policies of Republican Presidents Reagan and Bush, his father. ``He already wants a tax cut that would destabilize Social Security and Medicare. Now he wants huge defense increases that would threaten education and health care,'' said Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Patricia Ewing. ``We've already lived through huge tax cuts and defense increases that ruined our economic prosperity. We don't want to go back to that.'' The biggest price tag in Bush's package is for research and development, where Bush would increase spending by $20 billion over five years. The annual Pentagon budget is about $270 billion. In addition, 20 percent of the current budget for weapons and information systems should be earmarked for the purchase of weapons that take advantage of new technologies, Bush said. With the end of the Cold War - what he called ``the hard but clear struggle against an evil empire'' - Bush said America must take advantage of ``a revolution in the technology of war'' to remain strong enough to maintain peace throughout the world. Reagan called Russia an ``evil empire'' when Bush's father was vice president. ``Our challenge is not as obvious, but just as noble: To turn these years of influence into decades of peace,'' the governor said. ``Power is increasingly defined, not by mass or size, but by mobility and swiftness,'' Bush said. ``Influence is measured in information, safety is gained in stealth, and force is projected on the long arc of precision-guided weapons,'' he said. ``This revolution perfectly matches the strengths of our country - and the skill of our people and the superiority of our technology.'' He vowed to challenge each branch of the armed services to move beyond marginal improvements in existing weapons systems to ``skip a generation of technology.'' ``This involves spending more and spending more wisely,'' he said. Bush implied that the Clinton administration has broken faith with U.S. troops by paying them too little and putting them in harms' way too often. He promised to spend $1 billion a year for years on top of a pay increase pending in Congress to increase their salaries, and said he would order a review of overseas commitments. Their mission is ``to deter wars - and win wars when deterrence fails,'' Bush said. ``Sending our military on vague, aimless and endless deployments is the swift solvent of morale.'' Advisers said Bush has no problem with long-standing commitments to countries such as Israel, Japan and South Korea. But the Texas governor, who supported the U.S.-led NATO intervention in Kosovo, wants to look at what he considers to be more open-ended peacekeeping operations in places such as Kosovo and Bosnia. ``This is not a call to withdraw from the world, rather a realization that we ... cannot be everywhere in the world,'' said his top foreign policy adviser, Condoleezza Rice. Bush also called for the development of anti-ballistic missile systems that would be deployed inside and outside the United States ``to guard against attack and blackmail.'' The Clinton administration plans to decide as early as June 2000 whether to deploy a limited national defense system. Republicans and Democrats are generally in agreement that a theater-based system should be developed as soon as possible. On troop salaries, the administration is proposing 4.4 percent increases, while Congress is seeking 4.8 percent. Bush put no price tag on his anti-missile plan. Rice said the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia would
[CTRL] Gimme That Old-Time Music
-Caveat Lector- Oldest Instrument Found in China By JOSEPH B. VERRENGIA .c The Associated Press Archaeologists in China have found what is believed to be the oldest still-playable musical instrument: a 9,000-year-old flute carved from the wing bone of a crane. When scientists from the United States and China blew gently through the mottled brown instrument's mouthpiece and fingered its holes, they produced tones unheard for millennia, yet familiar to the modern ear. ``It's a reedy, pleasant sound, a little thin, like a recorder,'' said Garman Harbottle, a nuclear scientist who specializes in radiocarbon dating at Brookhaven National Laboratory on New York's Long Island. Harbottle and three Chinese archaeologists published their findings in today's issue of the journal Nature. The flute was one of several instruments to be uncovered in Jiahu, a excavation site of Stone Age artifacts in China's Yellow River Valley. Archaeologists have also found exquisitely wrought tools, weapons and pottery. Dated to 7,000 B.C., the flute is more than twice as old as instruments used in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and other early civilizations. In all, researchers have found some three dozen bone flutes at Jiahu. Five were riddled with cracks; 30 others had fragmented. The flutes have as many as eight neatly hollowed tone holes and were held vertically to play. The Jiahu flute is considerably more recent than a flutelike bone discovered in 1995 in an excavation of Neanderthal tools in a cave in Slovenia. That artifact was believed to be more than 43,000 years old, but musicologists question whether it is an instrument. In contrast, there is no doubt among researchers that the Jiahu artifacts are instruments capable of playing multinote music. Music historians and archaeologists were intrigued by the find. ``You would never have one of these flutes in a symphony. But clearly, these people knew what an octave sounded like,'' Harbottle said. He said the flute can make what sounds like a ``do-re-mi'' scale. It even has a tiny hole drilled near hole No. 7, apparently to correct an off-pitch tone. Scholars said the bone flutes provide further proof that prehistoric Chinese culture was not crude. Music played an integral role, perhaps combined with astronomical observations and other rituals that helped to rule their society, they said. That the flutes were made of durable bone rather than bamboo, as later flutes were, also suggests they were culturally important, and not mere amusements. In fact, some scholars believe the Chinese written character for ``sound'' is a stylized representation of a vertical flute held in the mouth. ``That they would go to the trouble of constructing such instruments suggests a certain importance was placed on sound, and an attention to aesthetic concerns,'' said Jonathan Stock, an ethnomusicologist at the University of Sheffield in England, and a specialist in Chinese musical history. The flutes were uncovered at Jiahu in the 1980s. Their tonal qualities initially were tested in 1987. The intact Jiahu flute remains locked in a laboratory in China, but replicas may be constructed for more tonal tests. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Yeltsin Granted Immunity in Money-Laundering Inquiry
-Caveat Lector- Yeltsin Immune From Swiss Probe By ALEXANDER G. HIGGINS .c The Associated Press GENEVA (AP) - The prosecutor in charge of investigating alleged Russian money laundering in Switzerland said Wednesday that Boris Yeltsin will be immune from Swiss questioning as long as he remains president of Russia. ``There's no question of interrogating President Yeltsin,'' Bernard Bertossa told The Associated Press. ``He is a head of state and has total immunity.'' Bertossa is overseeing the main Swiss investigation into allegations of Russian money-laundering, including supposed channels to the Bank of New York. Investigators have alleged that Russian businesses and individuals - including organized crime groups - illegally relayed billions of dollars through the American bank. On Tuesday, Swiss authorities announced the freezing of almost $17 million in bank accounts. Investigators suspect the accounts are linked to the alleged money laundering. No one has been charged in the case so far. Swiss officials already are helping Russian prosecutors investigate separate allegations of widespread corruption and kickbacks reaching to Yeltsin's family and close associates. One of the cases involves the Mabetex construction company in Lugano, Switzerland. Authorities suspect that several high-ranking Russian officials received kickbacks for helping the firm get large contracts for renovating the Kremlin. Suspended Russian prosecutor Yuri Skuratov said earlier this month that he had received Swiss documents alleging that President Yeltsin and his two daughters were among those receiving kickbacks. A top Kremlin official and Mabetex's president have denied the allegations. Bertossa declined to say whether it would be worthwhile questioning Yeltsin or his relatives. But, he said, a president's ``daughter doesn't benefit from the same immunity.'' DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Dole on Kids at School (Microcosm of Adults in Society)
-Caveat Lector- The State is "Big Mother" and we citizens are all her dependent children ... Dole Wants School Locker Searches By TOM KIRCHOFER .c The Associated Press MELROSE, Mass. (AP) - Reminiscing about her student teaching days while addressing harsh concerns of today, Elizabeth Dole said Wednesday that order must be restored to classrooms - even if it means parent-approved locker and backpack searches and drug-testing of students. ``For drugs and weapons, I say: there will be no place to hide,'' Dole said. The Republican presidential candidate detailed her education platform at Melrose High School outside Boston where she was a student teacher in the 1959-60 academic year. She said parents should be able to choose from a ``rich smorgasbord of educational choices'' in deciding where to send their children to school Dole proposed a new tax credit to encourage private support for public and private schools and also recycled proposals from the Republican Congress for ``education savings accounts'' and for freeing up federal education funds from federal mandates. ``Take a look at this unwieldy stack of paper,'' Dole said, painting to a more than 600-page copy of the ``Clinton-Gore'' Elementary and Secondary Education reauthorization bill. ``This would be a joke if our system were working, but it's no joke,'' Dole told about 150 students, school officials and senior citizens in the school library. Later in her speech, she underscored her point, saying: ``The federal government has become a truly intrusive regulatory presence sapping state authority, local control and parental responsibility. Every hour spent on complying with regulations is time not spent helping teachers and students.'' Dole said that if she is elected president, she would let states and local school districts choose how most federal money is spent, as long as students' performance is measured and attained. Unlike her rival for the GOP nomination, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Dole did not spell out exactly how she would leverage federal dollars against failing schools. Bush, earlier this month, detailed a formula for measuring student performance, rewarding good schools, and stripping bad schools of federal support. Dole also wants to reinforce parents' control of their children's education and suggested that school-by-school results be posted on the Internet. `We should allow competition to foster a rich smorgasbord of educational choices,'' Dole said. ``Whether it's opportunity scholarships for students in failing schools, or charter schools or home-schooling, we should empower parents to make choices as long as their choices get results.'' Dole said schools must be made safe for students and kept drug-free. To attain that, she called for parent-approved locker and backpack searches and drug testing. ``The lives and bright futures of all students depend on our watchful care, at home and at school,'' she said. Students warmly welcomed Dole to their school, where she was an 11th grade history student teacher while earning a master's degree at Harvard University. They gave her a key to the city, a ``We are Melrose'' button and a football jersey saying ``President Dole.'' ``I was always looking forward to seeing the first female president,'' said Liz Perkins, a 15-year-old sophomore who has high hopes for Dole's campaign. During a tour of the old brick high school - which is located in the same complex as a newer high school and is now used as a middle school - Dole made a surprise visit to the classroom where she had taught. ``This was the room,'' she said to the sixth grade English students who appeared shocked to see Dole with several dozen reporters in tow. ``It's been a few years, but it's good to be back,'' she said. Dole based her education plan on her own three R's: returning control of schools to states and local school districts, restoring discipline in classrooms and reinforcing parental control over their child's education. In advocating more local control of schools, Dole recalled picking through dusty police department files to assemble a lesson plan on the Boston police strike of 1919. ``I didn't choose this lesson because it was mandated by the state or by Washington,'' she said. The growing student population and teacher retirements over the next decade will necessitate the recruitment of some 2 million new teachers, Dole said. She called for merit pay for teachers and said states should ``broaden their uses of alternative teacher certification.'' ``Let's give mid-career professionals, academics, and our best college graduates a clearer path to working and excelling in our public schools,'' Dole said. In what aides described as the first installment of her education platform, Dole also proposed: Creating a $1,000 per-year tax credit for individuals who donate to educational foundations helping low-income students in public and private schools through grade 12.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is credited with having introduced company officials to President Suharto. It is reported that Mr. Kissinger sits on Freeport's board, earning $500,000 a year, and Freeport also retains his law firm, Kissinger and Associates, for a reputed $200,000 a year.

Box 2723, Arlington, VA 22202 Website: http://www.twf.org -- Press Contact: Enver Masud Greed At Core Of Indonesia's Timor Problem by Enver Masud WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At its core the problem of East Timor, and indeed much of Indonesia, has a lot to do with greed rather than the Muslim-Christian divide portrayed in the media. From ancient times until the 7th century AD Indonesia was ruled by various Hindu kingdoms among which the Majapahit Empire became the most powerful. Sumatra was then known as the "island of gold, and Java as the "rice island." Muslim traders began arriving in the 13th century, and Islam spread peacefully through the islands. The descendants of the Hindu kingdoms retreated to the islands of Bali and Lombok where they flourish to this day. With the fall of Muslim Spain in 1492 (as in the Americas, Africa, and South Asia), came 350 years of brutal colonial rule and exploitation. First to arrive were the Portuguese in 1511 AD. The Portuguese were followed by the Dutch (1602 to 1799 AD), the British (1811 to 1815 AD), and again the Dutch (1816 to 1908 AD). The colonial masters took slaves, forced the natives to grow crops for export which resulted in famines, and destroyed the thriving inter-island trade. By 1908 nationalist movements began seeking self-government, and Indonesia declared independence on August 17, 1947. Sukarno, a leader of the independence movement, became president. He was overthrown in 1965 by Suharto in a U.S. backed military coup in which it is reported that one million people, mainly Chinese, were killed. When the Dutch and Portuguese formally partitioned East Timor between them in the 19th century, East Timor remained a part of the Portuguese colony. The governor of Portuguese Timor, in 1974, granted permission for political parties, and five emerged. Said to be lacking popular support Fretilin, the party seeking independence, resorted to terror, civil war broke out, and on August 27, 1975 the governor and Portuguese officials abandoned the capital Dili. The U.S. armed, trained Indonesian military entered East Timor to stop a civil war. Fretilin, supplied with arms from the Portuguese army arsenal, declared East Timor independent. The four other parties in East Timor declared their independence and integration with Indonesia. East Timor became the 27th province of Indonesia, but this claim was not recognized by the UN. Rich in natural resources, Indonesia's primary problem is the equitable sharing of these resources. Foreign interests, and internal corruption, add to the inherent difficulty that while Java is Indonesia's most heavily populated island, many of the resources are located in less populated islands. According to former U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia, Edward Masters, Indonesia did more in 35 years to develop barren, infertile East Timor than Portugal did in four centuries. Indonesia allocated development funds to East Timor at a rate six times the national average. In 1975, less than 10% of Timorese were literate, there were only 50 schools, and no colleges. By

[CTRL] Fwd: FBI AND PHINEAS PRIESTHOOD
9.23.99 - Original Message - From: Kate - The Grid To: virginia mccullough Sent: Sunday, September 19, 1999 11:39 PM Subject: FBI AND PHINEAS PRIESTHOOD Received from Virginia McCullough; written by her pal Kate Dixon. Excellent article. - - - - - - - - - - - - - FBI AND PHINEAS PRIESTHOOD by Kate Dixon The FBI has or had an operation running to investigate the PHINEAS PRIESTHOOD! Source: "Threats to National Security", Statement for the record by Louis J. Freeh, Director, FBI before the Senate Select Committee on January 28, 1998: "As another example, you may be familiar with the FBI's "Rapid Lightning" investigation. This investigation involved a series of criminal acts committed by individuals associated with a domestic terrorist organization known as the Phineas Priesthood. The subjects of the investigation were responsible for at least two bombing/bank robbery incidents in Spokane, Washington, in April and July 1996. Three subjects were arrested in October 1996, and a fourth in 1997. Since then, all four have been convicted of all eight felony counts for which they were charged and have received lengthy jail sentences." Did operation "Rapid Lightning" end? Since various killers such as the Columbine shooters and Texas Baptist Church shooter claim affiliation with Phineas Priesthood (part of the Identity movement), did the FBI have information about these individuals, and moreover about their guns, and communications. Who is currently running the PHINEAS PRIESTHOOD? Sometimes the FBI uses inflitrators or informers when investigating groups. And this often results in the FBI's becoming compromised, because it receives information it rejects, and then is later embarrassed, or it fails to stop the group's anticipated violence, or the group outwits the FBI, or the FBI is somehow using the investigation of the group. Aprime example is that of Carol Howe, who infiltrated the Staussmier right wing group, affiliated with Timothy McVeigh. Howe gave the FBI data about the group's activities and plans to commit violent acts and about what turned out to be John Doe's involved in the Oklahoma City bombing. The FBI apparently didn't react too quickly or thoroughly to its own informers' data. The Oklahoma bombing occured. What did the FBI do? The Department of Justice, assisted by the FBI prosecuted Ms. Howe. She was acquitted. In the trial of Timothy McVeigh, Howe's testimony about John Doe's and her FBI role was excluded. In the trial of Nichols, Howe did testify, and the verdict regarding NIchols may have been more favorable to him because of her testimony. Another example of FBI monitoring of a group which turned into quasi-complicity and then into coverup, was the Guy Bannister operation at 544 Camp Street New Orleans. Bannister was an FBI agent. He employed various runners out of 544 Camp. One of these was Oswald, who was inflitrating the pro-Cuban groups. Oswald past out Fair Play for Cuba literature near 544 Camp, working as an agent provacateur. Bannister also worked with Clay Shaw, and David Ferrie. Ater President Kennedy was assasinated, the FBI went to great lengths to cover up the activities of Mr. Bannister vis a vis the FBI, and to cover up Oswald's relationship to the FBI. It appears that Oswald may have received money for information he provided to the FBI. The U.S. Attorneys obtain convictions mostly based on testimony of the informant, the turn coat, the snitch, and those yearning for federal witness protection, or an early ticket out of jail. Therefore, the U.S. attorneys and FBI have very close relationships to the aforesaid--relationships which often get too cozy and backfire. I think that FBI's investigation of PHINEAS PRIESTHOOD may be a fumbled investigation. Kate Dixon

The revolutionary solution, for which patents have been applied in the US, compresses four digits for the 21st century into two symbols, without interfering with any years from the 20th century. It accomplishes this by using special algorithms for expanding two symbols into four digits and compressing four digits into two symbols. The achievement belongs to Ben-Etzion Yaron, head of manpower and payroll in the Hebrew University's department of computerized information systems. It has already proven itself in checking for and fixing computer bugs in the department's listing of faculty sabbaticals scheduled for the 21st century. Yaron received a Kaye Prize for Innovation from the HU last June for a program that identifies the bugs in programs running only on VAX computers. Realizing that this limitation would restrict the use of his invention, he worked day and night over the past two months to expand the application to all computers and computer languages. The only Y2K bugs it cannot fix, he said, are those in computer components embedded in equipment, such as medical devices. The result of his work is Sapir 2000, which makes possible the analysis of computer programs written in COBOL, used in the 1970s and '80s for databases that its developers thought would be abandoned by the end of the century but remained, with repairs over the years, to cause the Y2K bug. Yaron's invention can even identify errors in other programs that have already been revamped to cope with Y2K and make corrections, thus providing a kind of 'second opinion' to ensure that chaos does not ensue after January 1. Sapir 2000 can also be applied to other situations requiring expansion of existing information to incorporate additional digits. It is estimated that the time needed by Yaron's program to make databases compatible with the next century is 15 percent-20% of the time required using other solutions. Yaron said his program would not become obsolete after January 1. Many programming errors will appear for years afterward, he explained, 'and Sapir 2000 is extremely flexible so it will deal with problems that we can't even realize today.' HU vice president and director-general Moshe Vigdor said that the university's research and development arm, Yissum, has signed a contract with Magic Software Enterprises, an international firm that supplies computerized solutions for companies. Magic's local subsidiary is MSE-Israel, whose president and CEO Jack Dunietz and managing director Oren Inbar were present at yesterday's unveiling of Sapir 2000. MSE-Israel will initially market and distribute the new product in Israel and, if all goes well, the product will be sold worldwide, mainly via the Internet. Inbar said that potential customers may ask MSE-Israel to convert parts of programs on a trial basis free and pay only if they are satisfied and want more work done. MSE- Israel has decided to donate $100,000 worth of development kits, study material, lectures, and consultancies to HU to promote advancement of students at its new School of Engineering and Computer Sciences, which is due to open its academic year next month on the Givat Ram campus.

In particular, her comments towards the end of this note are deserving of serious consideration; about the fact so many covert government installations are located on land sacred to Native Americans--as is most certainly the case with the Montauk project in relation to Montauk Pt./Turtle Cove--along with simultaneous indications that native tribes are consistently targeted by intelligence agency spooks as well as FBI and other fed goons for all kinds of infiltration, harassment, discreditation, Machiavellian manipulations, assassinations, illegal activities using informants, double agents, stooges and other "assets". J. Quinn - - - - - - - - - - - - To: NewsHawk Inc. Re: Cal Poly -- I was not aware of the origins, but it explains a lot of things. I first learned of odd things going on there, because my college boyfriend and I were something of amateur private investigator types, and we started noticing a lot of odd things going on at Cal Poly. One of them is that, at least in the 1970's, there was a spook training school on campus. After a while, we started sitting up on the hill above campus with high-powered binoculars and watching odd things, or tailing people on our own. We came to the realization that some sort of training school was operating out of the basement of the now-demolished business building. I have since had it confirmed by a net contact that there was/is a covert ops training center there. Your information about the power spots does not surprise me. I had friends in the Indian Council in San Luis Obispo, and from them learned that Diablo Canyon, the site of the nuclear reactor, was one of these, which was one reason they were so upset. The "master spirit gate" for the West Coast was supposedly located on Vandenburg AFB (this corresponds to Montauk AF Station's position on the East Coast-JQ). My Native contacts tell me that was "sealed" a few years ago, because of plans of the covert government to use it for their own purposes, and a couple of their people very narrowly escaped being very mundanely killed by some of these folks. Interestingly, my contacts in the Native community are currently based in Ojai, in their ancestral power spot, one of the places you mentioned. I have found from my investigations that there is a string of these "gates" up the West Coast. And nuclear power plants and military installations are not idly cited. The San Onofre power plant south of Los Angeles is said to be atop a Spirit Gate. There is reputed to be one at Pt. Mugu (CONFIRMED site of extensive underground facilities at the Naval Air Station there-JQ). Ditto Pt. Conception/Vandenburg; Diablo Canyon. Moving up the coast, we next have Esalen, a "Haunted Spot" near the Carmel Mission, Haunted Meadow on the UC Santa Cruz campus, Marin Headlands, definitely Bodega Head (Sonoma county), where they tried to put a nuclear power plant but encountered too much legal opposition, then Fort Ross, north of the Russian River (not far from the notorious Bohemian Grove; reliably reported as a site of much covert NWO government/psy-ops/ritual-sex-abuse malfeasance-JQ). These are the ones I have heard of. And only those directly on the coast. I have heard of others inland, such as Carissa Plains in San Luis Obispo County. I didn't discuss this much in the past, since I've noticed that every time I said too much, I ended up with hot and cold running spooks in my life. But that works two ways---it confirmed that I was onto things that were real. The more I turn up, the bigger and more unnerving this gets, and the more puzzle pieces drop into place. I've also noticed that the NWO types seem to have a BIG stake in controlling the Native American community, and can only ask *WHY.* WHY use and subvert their spiritual leaders? Why try to kill or discredit others? The answer is that they have something the NWO wants, but what? Whatever it is, you can bet that the NWO wants to use it for power and control, because that's the only bottom line for them. Jane

Das GOAT wrote: -Caveat Lector- Bush Seeks $20B for New Weapons By RON FOURNIER .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush is promising to ``redefine war on our terms'' with a defense policy that pumps billions of dollars into the search for new weapons he said would help America keep the peace. Unveiling his plans for the U.S. military in a speech today, the GOP front-runner said he would increase spending on research and development of weapons, raise soldiers' salaries, develop an anti-ballistic missile system and avoid ``vague, aimless and endless'' troop deployments throughout the world. ``If elected, I will set three goals: I will renew the bond of trust between the American president and the American military; I will defend the American people against missiles and terror; and I will begin creating the military of the next century,'' he said in an early draft of his speech to the Citadel military academy in Charleston, S.C. ``The best way to keep the peace is to redefine war on our terms,'' he said. The two-term Texas governor holds a hefty lead in polls over all Democratic and Republican presidential contenders. The address - part of a series of speeches designed to spell out his presidential agenda - is an answer to critics who say Bush is not ready to be president and that his views on public policy are undeveloped. In advance of his remarks, Democrats warned that Bush wanted to return to the policies of Republican Presidents Reagan and Bush, his father. ``He already wants a tax cut that would destabilize Social Security and Medicare. Now he wants huge defense increases that would threaten education and health care,'' said Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Patricia Ewing. ``We've already lived through huge tax cuts and defense increases that ruined our economic prosperity. We don't want to go back to that.'' The biggest price tag in Bush's package is for research and development, where Bush would increase spending by $20 billion over five years. The annual Pentagon budget is about $270 billion. In addition, 20 percent of the current budget for weapons and information systems should be earmarked for the purchase of weapons that take advantage of new technologies, Bush said. With the end of the Cold War - what he called ``the hard but clear struggle against an evil empire'' - Bush said America must take advantage of ``a revolution in the technology of war'' to remain strong enough to maintain peace throughout the world. Reagan called Russia an ``evil empire'' when Bush's father was vice president. ``Our challenge is not as obvious, but just as noble: To turn these years of influence into decades of peace,'' the governor said. ``Power is increasingly defined, not by mass or size, but by mobility and swiftness,'' Bush said. ``Influence is measured in information, safety is gained in stealth, and force is projected on the long arc of precision-guided weapons,'' he said. ``This revolution perfectly matches the strengths of our country - and the skill of our people and the superiority of our technology.'' He vowed to challenge each branch of the armed services to move beyond marginal improvements in existing weapons systems to ``skip a generation of technology.'' ``This involves spending more and spending more wisely,'' he said. Bush implied that the Clinton administration has broken faith with U.S. troops by paying them too little and putting them in harms' way too often. He promised to spend $1 billion a year for years on top of a pay increase pending in Congress to increase their salaries, and said he would order a review of overseas commitments. Their mission is ``to deter wars - and win wars when deterrence fails,'' Bush said. ``Sending our military on vague, aimless and endless deployments is the swift solvent of morale.'' Advisers said Bush has no problem with long-standing commitments to countries such as Israel, Japan and South Korea. But the Texas governor, who supported the U.S.-led NATO intervention in Kosovo, wants

The initial plan for the Federal Intrusion Detection Network (Fidnet) drew criticism from GOP leaders and civil libertarians, who said the system would intrusively track computer users who visited government agencies online. Fidnet would have used software to detect patterns of potentially criminal computer use, relaying the data automatically to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The revised plan, however, mandates only the collection of patterns that are apparently criminal. Also, Fidnet will not intrude into private computer systems by creating new links.

[CTRL] [Fwd: School of the Americas Funds Renewed]
-Caveat Lector- Kay Lee Joe Hart wrote: School of the Americas Funds Renewed http://www.newsday.com/ap/rnmpwh1y.htm By DAVID PACE Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional negotiators agreed Wednesday to provide full funding next year for the School of the Americas, rejecting last summer's House vote to slash the budget of the controversial Army school in Georgia. Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., said the House conferees on the fiscal 2000 foreign operations spending bill voted to accept the Senate's position that provided $2 million in the State Department budget to pay the expenses of Latin American soldiers who attend the school at Fort Benning. While the action will not become final until the conference on the entire bill is concluded, Kingston said the section covering funding for the school has been closed and cannot be reopened. ``The School of the Americas is in there,'' he said. ``It's survived another year.'' The House voted 230-197 last summer to eliminate the $2 million in training funds after opponents of the school argued that many of its graduates had been linked to human rights atrocities in Latin America. The school had survived four previous House votes since 1993. The school has been the target of a decade-long campaign by religious activists upset that graduates of the school were linked to the 1989 murders of six Jesuit priests and two women in El Salvador. Father Roy Bourgeois, a Maryknoll priest who has spearheaded the campaign against the school, said the conference committee action Wednesday won't slow the campaign. ``We are not going away,'' he said. ``We're going to keep coming back to Washington and to the main gate of Fort Benning in greater and greater numbers every year until that school is shut down.'' The House conferees voted 8-7 to recede to the Senate position. Kingston said the House agreed to go along with continued funding for the school because members of the foreign operations spending panel did not want to lose jurisdiction over the school, which also receives funding from the Defense Department budget. Kingston said House conferees felt that the Pentagon would find a way to continue operating the school, even if the $2 million in training funds were eliminated. The $2 million represents about half the school's annual budget. The rest comes out of the Pentagon budget, which also pays the salaries of the military officers who serve as instructors. Congressional opponents of the school estimate it costs the taxpayers $20 million a year. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Fwd: Native American Sacred Spots/Federal Malfeasance Re: Tribes
9.23.99 Native American Sacred Spots/ Federal Malfeasance Re: Tribes We're forwarding below an email received from good buddy Cordley in Colorado. Cordley has some hard-earned insights to offer on the extent to which Native Americans are STILL getting screwed over by federal bureaucracies in general, as well as being specifically targeted for harassment and infiltration by the likes of the FBI in attempts instigate corruption, dissension and violence; being targeted by intelligence/military agencies seeking to use reservations for covert projects--as these lands are sovereign nations for the most part not subject to federal laws; being otherwise targeted in terms of having sacred lands and power spots snatched away by spooky military/intelligence agencies seeking to gain possession of such locations as sites for (often esoteric, highly advanced) research and experimentation. One example of the latter situation is evidenced by the fate of the Cahto tribe in Northern California. A small tribe comprised of little more than a couple of hundred members, as recently as the mid-1960s they were forced by federal Bureau Of Indian Affairs goons to move from their reservation on Cahto Mountain, on land believed to be a power spot and very sacred to the tribe. The tribe was relocated to some hard-packed scrub land directly adjacent to a Mendocino country dump which was a massive toxic waste site (now closed by court order). And to what uses have feds put the Cahto's sacred land on the mountain? Well, the TOP of Cahto Peak has turned into an gargantuan antenna farm bristling with unusual, peculiar-looking transmitters and antennas of all kinds, as well as some more common radio towers and satellite-dish receivers. Roads leading to the impenetrably-fenced upper regions of the mountain are all blocked off with signs warning against trespassing into the area posted all round. "Property of the U.S. Government". Unnatural-looking cloud formations seem to generate often above this peak, which are then often dosed with contrails from the constant, numerous military flights in the area (however, there's no KNOWN base of any kind within 100 miles or so!!) Peculiar low-frequency hums and vibrations emanate frequently throughout the hills and valleys surrounding Cahto Mountain. And the tribe? Forced to give up their home, their way of life and sacred land and to live at poverty levels "in town", the tribe has been beset by significant social problems in recent years, in particular (of course) being targeted by intelligence-connected criminals and gangsters involved in manufacturing/dealing hard drugs. Word is that these interests are attempting to infiltrate the leadership of the tribe. Additionally, the massive, unconscionable and irreversible plundering of National Forest wildlands, as noted in our article of 9.2.99, can likewise be seen as a tremendous blow, culturally and spiritually, to the native inhabitants of North America and their cultural history as human beings.

VLADIMIR ZHIRINOVKSY, the ultra-nationalist Russian politician, has unveiled a list of dubious figures as his party's candidates for the forthcoming elections, saying he wants to see the "shadow" economy represented in parliament. He has selected a Siberian metal magnate wanted by police on suspicion of links to contract murders and a host of businessmen who have had run-ins with the law. A seat in the Duma, the lower house of parliament, gives immunity from prosecution, which is thought to attract doubtful characters into politics. Mr Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democrats are the third largest group in the Duma with 49 seats - about 10 per cent. Number two in the party list is Anatoly Bykov, an infamous figure in Siberia's Krasnoyarsk region, wanted by police in connection with an inquiry into two contract killings and a separate case of money-laundering. A former boxer and now head of an aluminium plant, Mr Bykov has in the past year been the subject of more speculation about alleged links to the underworld than almost any other Russian businessman. Mr Zhirinovsky seems relaxed about Mr Bykov. He said: "We would like to see members of the shadow economy among us because they represent the real and powerful economy." Another colourful character standing for the Duma from Mr Zhirinovsky's party is Dmitry Yakubovsky, a well-connected lawyer convicted of stealing manuscripts from the Russian national library in St Petersburg and torturing a cellmate. The London Telegraph, Sept. 23, 1999 The Japanese Yen IMF: Down Yen! Down Boy! Mussa says: Print money. Please. WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund warned Wednesday that the soaring yen could hurt Japan's economic recovery, and it urged the Bank of Japan to print more of its currency in order to halt the yen's appreciation against the U.S. dollar and the euro. The warning came from Michael Mussa, the IMF's chief economist, who nonetheless forecast an improving world economic outlook, with 1999 global growth upgraded to 3 percent from the IMF's last projection of just 2.3 percent. In the year 2000, global growth should be running at a rate of 3.5 percent, the IMF economist said at a news conference here. The 1999 growth figure was higher than the number contained in a leaked version of the IMF's annual World Economic Outlook, which was posted on a Dutch Web site earlier this month. Mr. Mussa noted that the newly industrialized Asian economies that were at the heart of last year's global financial crisis were bouncing back to recovery, with an especially positive performance by South Korea. For these Asian countries, the IMF is predicting 1999 growth of 5.2 percent, a much stronger showing than the 2.1 percent the IMF predicted last May. Likewise, the forecast for 2000 is 5.1 percent, higher than the previous forecast of 4.5 percent. As for Japan, Mr. Mussa said that ''we have now had two quarters of positive growth, signaling a clear end to recession, with significantly stronger demand.'' But he warned ''there are risks of the recovery being knocked off course, especially if we were to see a substantial further appreciation of the yen.'' At the close of trading in New York on Wednesday, the dollar was at 104.055 yen, down from 105.010 yen Tuesday. Although the Group of Seven wealthy industrial nations are expected to discuss the yen issue when they meet here on Saturday, Mr. Mussa said the problem with coordinated G-7 intervention on currency markets was that it might not be seen by markets as being backed by monetary policy.

Sincerely, Neil Brick PS This may be triggering for survivors of RA/MC. from http://www.aches-mc.org/mind_control.html Since at least 1945, hundreds, if not thousands of American and Canadian victims (primarily female) have been physically and sexually tortured, locked in cages, sadistically brainwashed with electricity, drugs and experimental military technologies, and programmed to perform specific tasks including crimes. Some were selected before birth, and tortured throughout infancy. For others the process began later in childhood or adulthood. Survivors' stories are remarkably similar, and it is believed that we are now entering an era where third generation human subjects are being subjected to torture to induce mind control programming that begins in infancy. All of this is done in the name of "National Security". The documented acts of torture and atrocity carried out by Nazi physicians under the Third Reich have been systematically exceeded by those conducting covert mind control experiments on human subjects in North America since the end of the last World War and beginning of the Cold War. While publicly condemning the race hatred and death camps of the Third Reich, the American and Canadian governments have been harboring a concentration camp without walls on this continent. Survivors, now in their thirties, forties and fifties are discovering themselves to be functioning as multiple personalities -- intentionally created to serve (body, mind and soul) as "Manchurian Candidates". Once selected, we have been used as human lab animals -- some of us have been used throughout our lifetime in one externally controlled and monitored experiment after another. These experiments are in total defiance of the laws of nature, the Nuremburg Code (which has been "official" American policy since 1946), the Hippocratic Oath, and the judicial system. They are also in total defiance of the guidelines for federally funded biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects. However, members of the medical and behavioral research communities (bound by vested interests and threats to their professional, if not physical, lives) have been reluctant to publicly and academically address this situation. Consequently, at this moment, an aristocratic few (those most knowledgeable about behavior control and mind manipulation) are allowed to reach among those less privileged and select their experimental fodder. In March of 1995, Valerie Wolf, M.S.W., and two of her clients who had been subjected to mind control experimentation since early childhood appeared before the President's Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments. After consulting with forty other therapists across the country (the majority of whom remained anonymous for reasons of personal safety), Ms. Wolf documented in writing the names of the research projects and the names of the people involved. The two survivors, Claudia Mullen and Chris DeNicola Ebner, testified that as victims they experienced electric shock, hallucinogens, dislocation of limbs, sadistic acts of pedophilia, hypnosis and sensory deprivation. Often they were locked in cages for long periods of time. At the conclusion of the Presidential Hearing, the Committee recommended further exploration of

Seventh St. Fort Worth, Texas, 76102 July 31, 1999 Sir: I am interested in relating to you some events I have experienced. If these events are true, then they would indicate a serious injustice against me. Specifically: the denial of due process for me in the investigation of me as a suspected serial murderer. I use the term -investigation- loosely. It was not so much an investigation as it was a continuous interference in my life and employment for a period of possibly twenty years. Three operative terms apply to this situation: First; rumor control, this was one method by which those investigating me used to create problems for me: Second: Psychological warfare, this was the general mode of of operation: Third: Plausible deniability, the ideas those involved would proffer in order to divert blame from themselves. The first experience I had which became a clue to my future problems occurred in July of -79.- Soon after reporting to a deployment site with the U.S. Navy squadron, I attended a social event. While there I was pulled aside by a young man who was in that squadron and he asked me some odd questions. The questions involved the murder of someone I had no knowledge of. The tone of his questions became almost accusatory. This was the first of three similar events which occurred during my active duty with the Navy from -79- to -83.- What I eventually began to wonder was if there were any reason for me to be a suspect in any murder. As I now know, there were several abductions or murders of young women in Fort Worth and Arlington during the -70s- when I lived in the area. After I moved back to Fort Worth in -84- the odd events became a major problem in my life and occurred both on and off the job. The seriousness of the events and the humiliation I suffered made it impossible for me to keep a job. The most pronounced situation began soon after I began work at the Photo-Etch Company in 1986. Shortly after I was hired as a machinist I was put on the evening shift with another employee who was hired about a week after me. We were the only workers at the company during that shift. At some point around September of that year in the evening I was taking a break when the other employee walked up to me and made a somewhat veiled indirect threat. It went like this: -I have a lot of friends on the police force, in fact I know a woman police officer who can kick your (deleted) all over the place.- This was the beginning of continuous troubles on the job at that company. When I attempted to remedy the problems through the proper channels I got no where. The troubles included minor physical abuse and general disrespect by another employee. Eventually after about six months of the situation I was visited by the owners son. He identified himself as the one who oversees the machine shop (even though I had never met him) and he called me a liar concerning what was happening on the job. It was obvious then that there was nothing I could do to remedy the situation and I quit to look for another job. During the period of unemployment that ensued the most blatant event occurred. At that time in my life I was not dating, socializing or spending much time with others. One evening I decided to go out for a beer and I ended up at a nightclub on East Lancaster. After I had been there for a few minutes a man came and sat next to me at the bar. All that I recall of him is that he talked about he had been in the U.S. Army special forces. During the time we talked I began to feel slightly sick so I went to the restroom. After a short time I felt better; however as I returned to my seat I became very dizzy and passed out. Never before had I experienced such an event. I was particularly conscious and was aware that I as dragged out to the back of the bar by several men. Eventually I told them that I believed that I had been drugged and would

I am also happy to see the reference to Ozone treatment. I personally know of a number of people who have cured cancer using such, and I understand that they have been using this in Europe to curtail, and possibly cure, AIDS for over 10 years. Of course, it must be just an accident, perhaps an oversite, that the use of AIDS to treat such is 'illegal' within the United States. God Bless you, and your work. David G.

Mr. Krasner's memo has been posted, along with the following reply from Dr. Horowitz, on the FTP file of our website on www.tetrahedron.org. Thank you in advance for your interest and support. Response from Dr. Horowitz: Dear Gary, Thank you for giving my work in "Emerging Viruses: AIDS Ebola--Nature, Accident, or Intentional?" so much critical attention. In most corners, however, the scientific community, and the grassroots, have endorsed my work because, unlike Dr. Duesberg's, and now yours, I lay out hard evidence in U.S. government documents to back my assertions. Though your lengthy internet memo is compelling for those able to be deceived, where is your documentation? Who backs my work? For example, last week I got a call from Major General Caleb Gwambo, the Office of the President, Nairobi, Kenya. He called to thank me after purchasing 32 copies of "Emerging Viruses: AIDS Ebola". He gave them to the top political and public health leaders in his country. They reviewed the documentation and decided to stop the World Health Organization's experimental vaccine programs there. Have you and your colleagues made such an impact? Maj. Gwambo then passed the phone to their top AIDS scientist, Basil Wainwright, Ph.D., who was persecuted and jailed in the United States for advancing highly effective alternative medicine--oxygenation therapies--for cancer and AIDS. Both thanked me royally for the "likely hundreds of thousands, if not millions," of lives they said my work will save! You imply I am unsupportive to alternative medicine? I do not have the time to address the several basic unsubstantiated arguments you aim at my work. Readers of my book can gain these rebuttals and draw their own conclusions. I would, however, like to show you, and those interested, how off-base you are in your criticisms of me, and in your "conspiracy theory" that places me at the center of the Hegelian dialectic that I first exposed in the AIDS arena. Your fundamental criticism, repeated in this most recent internet memo, is absurd, totally false, and publicly misleading. You write that: "One can just as easily postulate that Horowitz is the antithesis, put out by the NCI scientists to promote HIV=AIDS among the very constituency that would ordinarily be attracted to Duesberg's arguments (the wholistic, anti-vaccine, anti-medical crowd)." Gary, if you truly kept up with my work, that is, got a life beyond your incessant fixation to deride my efforts, you might have read my statements in my ninth book, "Deadly Innocence," published in 1993 in which I supported, as a wholistic minded health professional, Dr. Duesberg's basic thesis.

Alexander, US Army (Retired) (1999, St. Martin's Press, 254 pp.. $24.95) Colonel John Alexander never met a war he didn't like. As an unofficial spokesman for the Military-Industrial Complex, Alexander has written a book called Future War in which he continues to ply his trade -- promoting war -- and most importantly advocating those all-important expendables called "weapons systems." The oxymoronic "non-lethal weapons" which Alexander touts are anything but. They include exotic systems like electromagnetic weapons, chemical and biological warfare, so-called physical restraints like goop guns, etc., acoustic weapons, as well as information warfare technologies, which include good old-fashioned military propaganda -- like his book itself. Without questioning the wrong-headed abstruse US Government policies of war-making, he includes a brief history of War's Greatest Hits in a chapter called "Are We the World's Police Force?" Alexander's answer is an unequivocal yes. These include -- Restore Hope: Somalia; United Shield: Somalia Round II; Uphold Democracy: Haiti; Bosnia; The Idaho Rebellion (just kidding). Internet Bashing In a chapter called "Information Warfare," Alexander sounds the alarm about -- you guessed -it -- the "dangers of the Internet." You see, those nasty hackers, crackers and phrackers are out to get the Information Infrastructure. How do we know? Alexander says so. "It is predicted that anti-hacker software sales will increase from $1.1 billion in 1995 to greater than $16 billion in 2000," he writes. "The President's Committee of Critical Infrastructure Protection noted the increased likelihood of computer terrorism and recommended that research and development, now $250 million annually, should be increased $100 million per year until $12 billion is provided on a yearly basis." No matter what the "security" problem, all we need to do is spend more taxpayer dollars on the Military-Industrial Complex. Secret Life of John Alexander Virtually disregarded in this book is Alexander's spooky background as a Psy0ps (or psychological operations) expert, as well as a psychic warfare- mind control operative. According to Alex Constantine, author of Virtual Government (Feral House, 1997), Colonel John Alexander has displayed a long term interest in the paranormal and "has actively promoted psychic metal bending among government personnel using the techniques pioneered by Jack Houck of McDonnell-Douglas." Before his "retirement," Alexander had a 32-year career in the Army, including a stint as director of Advanced Systems Concepts Office, US Army Laboratory Command Alexander was also chief of the Advanced Human Technology Office Security Command (INSCOM) and ran the "non-lethal" weapons lab at Los Alamos in New Mexico. Alexander allegedly also has a doctor's degree in thanatology, the science of death. British reporter Armen Victorian concludes that John B. Alexander is an active operative assigned to a covert military group "specializing in dissemination of disinformation," collectively known as the "Aviary." In a recent interview, David Morehouse, author of Psychic Warrior, (St. Martin's Press, 1996) reports that "Alexander was a Special Forces officer in Vietnam who commanded a Montagnard battalion. Others say he was a member of the Phoenix Project [the notorious CIA assassination program]. When he came out, he worked with the intelligence community and he never left." Later Alexander led a CIA harassment campaign against Morehouse. Alexander, the "retired" colonel working for the CIA, Jim Schnabel and Joe McMoneagle were all actively involved in spreading disinformation Campaign against him on the Internet, says Morehouse. Politically Incorrect Warrior And why was Morehouse harassed? Morehouse was a whistleblower who wrote a book called Non Lethal Weapons: War Without Death (1996, Greenwood Publishing) with a politically incorrect perspective. "Conventional weaponry is designed to kill. The new hybrid conventional weaponry is designed to maim. Non-lethal weaponry, by this definition, must be anti-materiel and not anti-personnel," said Morehouse in a recorded interview. "My book takes a very philosophical approach to the concept of non- lethality," Morehouse continues. "It talks about what conventional weapons have done in this century. They've taken the lives of 170 million innocent human beings' lives -- doctors, lawyers, professors, housewives,
[CTRL] Y2K May Spark Downturn - U.S. Senate Panel
-Caveat Lector- Wednesday September 22 2:56 PM ET http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19990922/ts/yk_days_1.html Y2K May Spark Downturn - U.S. Senate Panel Full Coverage U.S. Economy By Jim Wolf WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Year 2000 computer glitch is likely to trigger international supply-chain disruptions that may end more than eight straight years of U.S. economic growth, a Senate panel studying the problem said Wednesday. With 100 days left to the year change, the Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem said it was ``greatly concerned'' about the international Y2K picture for strategic as well as economic reasons. ``Severe long- and short-term disruptions to supply chains are likely to occur'' as a result of Y2K-related system failures, it said in its 288-page report. ``Such disruptions may cause a low-to-moderate downturn in the economy, particularly in industries that depend on foreign suppliers,'' the panel said. The U.S. economy, a locomotive for the world, has been expanding since March 1991. But John Koskinen, President Clinton's chief adviser on Y2K, said he expected Y2K to have no ``significant'' impact on the U.S. economy, citing what he called a consensus of forecasters. At worst, Y2K-related tangles might shave one or two tenths of a percentage point off U.S. economic growth in the first quarter of 2000, he said in a telephone interview with Reuters. Most of U.S. trade was with developed countries, ``and they're doing relatively well'' in preparing, Koskinen added. ``While the committee has become increasingly confident about U.S. Y2K preparedness, it has become increasingly concerned about international preparedness,'' said the report, the panel's last before the clocks tick over to 2000. At issue is the coding glitch that could cause older computers and embedded chips to mistake 2000 for 1900 starting Jan. 1. Unless fixed, this could play havoc with everything from cash machines to telephones to power grids. GREATEST OVERSEAS CONCERNS The committee listed its greatest concerns as China, Russia, Italy plus a handful of U.S. oil suppliers: Venezuela, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and Kuwait. ``Several important U.S. trading partners are severely behind in addressing the Y2K problem ... and are not likely to avoid significant disruptions,'' the report said. Other countries' Y2K-related problems may wash up on U.S. shores ``in the form of recession, lost jobs or requests for international assistance,'' it added. Committee Chairman Robert Bennett, a Utah Republican, cited a ``strong possibility'' that Y2K would tip the rest of the world, along with the United States, into a ``slight economic downturn.'' In addition, Bennett foresaw a ``slight'' possibility of a global recession -- at least two straight quarters of negative growth -- due to Y2K-related disruptions, committee spokesman Don Meyer said in an e-mail reply to a query from Reuters. At a news conference, Bennett compared Y2K's potential domestic fallout with the harm to U.S. farmers sparked by the Asian economic crisis that began in Thailand in July 1997. Prices for many U.S. crops are at their lowest in decades because of huge supplies and weak foreign demand. ``I think that would be the model that we could look to as to what could happen,'' he said. ``But there is no really reliable model because the world has never gone through anything like this before.'' U.S. SHORTCOMINGS The committee, which has held about 30 hearings and heard testimony from more than 150 witnesses, voiced deep concerns about the lack readiness of U.S. health care facilities, state and local government operations, schools and small businesses. In addition, it said local and regional power outages remained a ``distinct possibility'' in some parts of the United States. Both Koskinen and the chief trade group for U.S. electricity suppliers disputed this assessment. All available data suggest any Y2K-related outages ``will be highly localized and of short duration,'' said John Castagna of the Edison Electric Institute, which represents most major electricity suppliers. Panel vice chairman Christopher Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, said a major U.S. concern remained the Medicaid system, the combined federal and state health-care program for the poor, elderly and disabled. It ``still needs some work in about 23 to 25 states,'' he said. The panel also highlighted fears about possible ``trap doors'' that could have been stitched into the millions of lines of U.S. computer codes overhauled overseas to clean up Y2K issues. If a ``trap door'' were inserted into key network software under the cloak of a Y2K repair, for instance, an adversary could gain access for years without anyone being the wiser, the panel said. ITALY CITED AS CONCERN The panel cited Italy as a particular concern, partly because of the throngs expected to converge on the Vatican to mark the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Christ. Specific areas of concern

[CTRL] **Protecting yourself from home invasion**
-Caveat Lector- All: In case anyone has not noticed, we live in dangerous times. We live in an age when the notions of private property and sanctity of human life are considered, at best, to be abstract concepts and, at worst, to be totally meaningless. We are a people under attack by the best of the criminal mind--and then even under the aegis of our own government. More and more, we are hearing of incidents where the homes of our fellow citizens are being invaded by anyone from the common street thug to radical factions within our own police forces. This post and the measures which follow are designed specifically to SAVE LIVES! Use them at your discretion--and your responsibility--to help protect yourselves and the members of your family from unwarranted and hostile attacks. Keep in mind that, if anyone wants to invade your home and has the resources to accomplish the task, they will do so. The best you can hope for, by implementing any or all of these measures, is to gain the precious time to either manage or mitigate the consequences of attack upon either you or your families. DO NOT be so arrogant as to assume that you can effectively prevent entry into your home by anyone! In reading these measures, you will notice that I have intentionally not addressed the issue or installation of booby traps. The reason is simple: each of you are smart enough, by yourselves, to know what type of traps to use (passive or active) for your own situation, and are conscientious enough to realize the consequences of their use. I recommend against their use because I would not want to be responsible for the loss of life or injury of innocent people. And now, without further delay: Doors: All exterior doors should be made of or replaced with solid, windowless steel or wood at least 1.75 inches thick. All voids within doors should be filled with sand or concrete, and all door hardware (frames, hinges, strikes, locks, etc.) should be replaced with the heaviest duty equivalent available. Any windows immediately to the left, right and/or top of door (within 36 inches) should be sealed over and their voids filled with sand or concrete. Horizontal door bolt assemblies should extend to both sides of the door (with an overlap of the door frame of at least two inches on either side of the door) and should be attached securely, at four points per bolt, to the door AND door frame by either eye bolts or clamps. The bolts themselves should be a minimum of 1/2 inch steel reinforcing bar. When the door is bolted, there should be no play in the assembly. All doors should be equipped with battery operated intrusion alarms of sufficient volume to be heard all over the house. Windows: All exterior windows should be covered and bolted with steel wire "diamond" mesh of at least 16 gauge wire. This treatment should be applied to both sides of the window, and should be attached at the outermost portion of the window frame. An outer sheet of 1/2 inch Plexiglass should be applied to the outside of the window in a manner which makes the window flush with the exterior of the structure. 2x2 inch "furring strips" should provide an adequate distance for this purpose with a conventional window. At least one window (preferably on the back or side of the structure) should be fitted in a "temporary" manner (as with removable burglar bars) to allow easy egress in case of fire. All windows should be equipped with battery operated intrusion alarms of sufficient volume to be heard all over the house. Eave, gable and foundation vents: All vents on the exterior of the structure should be fitted with steel dampers equal to the size of the vent and of a minimum thickness of 11 gauge steel plate. These dampers should be able to be engaged by both electrical and mechanical means. This should include a damper for the chimney/fireplace as well as plumbing vents where so equipped. Walls: Where permissible, all exterior wall voids should be filled to a height of at least 36 inches with sand or cement as the structural integrity of the foundation allows. Solicit the advice of a qualified contractor in this regard. Exterior and landscape: Where permissible, the structure should be surrounded with high shrubbery (4 to 5 feet) and kept at a distance of 36 inches from the exterior of the structure. Between the shrubbery and the structure, a barrier fence of "chicken wire" should be constructed to the same height as that of the shrubbery. All paths leading up to entrances of the structure should be bordered by shrubbery which allows no more width than that of two persons walking side-by-side. Where possible, and in an inconspicuous manner, all other portions of the landscape surrounding the structure should be interspersed with barriers (birdbaths, benches, pools, stone walls, wooden planters, etc.) to limit vehicular approach to the structure. Passive electronic countermeasures: The structure should be equipped with a battery operated loudspeaker and strobe

-Caveat Lector- You can wax on about freedom. You can whine about government rules. But the only way to change the way things are is to take action against the Tyranny traipsing all over American lives. Bard With the current state of our society as well as the coming Y2K computer bug we have put together a page of resources to help you deal with this potential problem. Be sure to take a look, your life may depend on being well informed. WHAT'S AHEAD IN THE YEAR 2000? Roy Masters Will you be alive after the year 2000? For thirty-eight years I've been warning you on the radio, on and off, of course, because it would get a little hairy and nerve-wracking to dwell on the shape of things to come so far ahead of time. I didn't know the exact date, but I knew it would be at the end of the twentieth century. I didn't know what would trigger it either, but I did know we were setting ourselves up for it. We are being preconditioned for it as anyone with any brains can see. Joseph Farrah will be joining me later. He is quite well-known in journalistic circles and I'll have him tell you about his achievements when he gets here. He works until two o'clock in the morning and may find it hard to get up this early. He's a very nice fellow, head of the Western Journalism Center with 200 journalists reporting to him, and I think he worked for the Washington Post at one time. He started out as a Socialist or Communist until he woke up and became a good Conservative when he saw where his liberal friends were leading the nation. Incidentally, those socialists are the people who have brought this country to its knees with their serpentine cunning. There's nothing much we can do about it now other than to prepare ourselves emotionally and practically insofar as it's possible to weather the storm. There simply aren't enough of us. We are ruled by a majority. We are not even ruled by law any more. Everyone likes Mr. Clinton, so they let him off with the flimsy rationalization that as long as the economy is good we can forget the law and let him do what he likes. He can even commit crimes. We have set him above the law and in doing so we have set the stage for chaos. After all, if he can do as he pleases, so can we. Right? That's how a lot of people think. Of course that doesn't 't apply to me. If there were no law, I wouldn't disobey my intuitive knowing of what is morally right anyway. The law is in my heart. But it's the millennium bug that engages most of my attention these days. I know that many of you don't think that it will come to much because you think the government will take care of you, but the fact is that the government is far from ready to solve the problem, and as soon as the welfare checks stop arriving, you're going to see utter chaos. Or maybe it will start when the lights all go out. Just one thing will set it off; one little thing will trigger it and pandemonium will sweep across the land. Of course, if you were all sensible like me and the people I know--calm, sensible, prepared, rational, truly rational as opposed to the rationalizing mindset of the liberals--well, you would know how to deal with life as we do and you would be prepared as we are. But most of you are not; you even have trouble with the smallest things. Someone steps on your toe and it ruins your whole day. Or you lose your job and you go into a deep depression; you have to take a handful of pills or head for the nearest bar. You don't know how to face ordinary things, and the devastation resulting from the fact that you can't face simple things properly is cumulative. It keeps adding up, so the smaller things are, the more you are going to react to them and the greater will be their effect on you. But what about the big things? Like the panic we'll be facing with the new millennium? Anyone with brains can see the horror of things to come, including the possibility that two-thirds of the human race will not survive it. I've been talking about it for a long time, but still some of you can't see it. Well, some of you can and to you I say don't panic. You know how to deal with reality, and by reality I mean the craziness of the people in the world, such as the craziness of the people next door and the craziness of your mom and dad. and the bigger craziness of your government. Or the un-sanity, not the insanity, because the un-sanity of it all is terribly frightening and if you are not careful it can drive you insane. It's the un-sane that drives people insane. The very act of having to deal with it, even looking at it, drives you into bizarre behavior. Of course, it is not confusing to itself--to itself, it is sane, but it is confusing to us and we tend to go into denial. Having to deal with this un-sanity everywhere we look creates great conflict within us. We are not dealing with insanity. Insanity in a person can be tolerated with love, passed off with some such comment as

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- Date: Thursday, September 23, 1999 5:57 AM Subject: MECHANICS OF DIANA MURDER REVEALED http://www.shout.net/~bigred/cnns.html MECHANICS OF DIANA MURDER REVEALED == (CNNS, 03/23/99) -- A new report in the National Examiner provides nuts-and-bolts info on the assassination of Princess Diana. ("Hit Squad Assassinated Di," by Art Dworken. National Examiner, 3/23/99.) Princess Diana was killed on August 31, 1997, in what was then referred to as a "car accident." However, widespread skepticism existed from the start, with many convinced that Lady Diana was murdered. Piecing together the National Examiner story, the following scenario unfolds: (1) Henri Paul, driver of the Diana death-mobile, was on the payroll of MI-6 (British intelligence), as an informer. Mr. Paul reported to British intelligence, for example, on several meetings held between Mohamed Al Fayed and "a notorious international arms dealer" (Adnan Khashoggi?), at the Ritz Hotel, in Paris. (2) Richard Tomlinson, a "renegade British spy," now hiding in Switzerland, says he has seen documents describing an MI-6 plan to murder Slobodan Milosevich, the Yugoslav Lincoln. The MI-6 "Kill Milosevich" plan included the detail, "The accident should happen in a place where the chance of fatal injury is as high as possible -- like a tunnel." (3) Shortly before Diana's death, MI-6 agents arrived in Paris. One of these agents went to the British Embassy right after Diana's "accident" and fed them disinformation. (4) Diana's Mercedes would not normally have gone into the Alma tunnel, but was somehow forced to detour into it. The normal route was either suddenly blocked, or Diana's car was steered by hounding motorcycles into the tunnel of death. (5) Waiting for Diana's car were "rogue intelligence agents loyal to the British monarchy." Reported by witnesses was a brilliant flash of light seen just prior to the car crash. That flash of light was "a high-powered laser beam used to temporarily blind the driver of the target vehicle." (6) Additional information from the Exegesis web site (not included in the National Examiner article) shows that a fetus carried by Princess Diana, apparently the result of her union with Dodi Fayed, was taken from her womb and destroyed while she was in the ambulance, enroute to the hospital. According to a report carried by Exegesis, it took 67 minutes for the ambulance to travel from the Alma tunnel to the hospital, a distance of under 4 miles. ("Who Are the Real Stooges?" Exegesis web site) The question arises as to how "rogue" were the "rogue intelligence agents" who implemented Diana's murder. The "rogue" status may be real, or may be a cover available to facilitate "plausible denial." A new book by Rayelan Allan gives further details on the Diana murder.

[CTRL] Chinese invasion thru Mexico
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_nyquist/ 19990819_xcjny_chinas_sil.shtml China Pumping 'Sensitive' Cargo Into Mexico - Smuggling Into US Easy China's silent invasion by J.R. Nyquist Thursday, August 19, 1999 © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Mexico's top drug trafficking cartel, run by the Arellano Felix brothers in Tijuana, is working closely with the Chinese. According to Jamie Dettmer, writing in the August 23 issue of Insight magazine, ships arriving in Mexico from China may contain "more than illegal immigrants." The Chinese are pumping people and supplies into Mexico, and the cargo is considered so sensitive that it is "often under the apparent protection of Chinese and Mexican naval vessels." American authorities are helpless, as usual, to block this strategic smuggling operation on our southwest border. America is helpless because President Clinton will not support improved border controls, and he won't get tough with the Mexican government. Clinton's immigration policy can be characterized as appeasement of the Mexicans, appeasement of the Chinese and a "who cares?" attitude. But why should Americans worry about large Chinese smuggling operations on our southwest border? After all, it's probably only drugs and illegal immigrants. And if people want to destroy their lives with heroin or cocaine, why waste money trying to stop them? And if immigrants want to come here, why not welcome them? Setting aside the issue of dangerous drugs and illegal immigration, the reason we should worry about drug and alien smuggling into this country, and the reason that no effort should be spared in making our borders impenetrable, is because nuclear and biological weapons can be smuggled into the country by the same routes that illegal narcotics are smuggled. According to Colonel Stanislav Lunev, highest ranking defector from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian General Staff, narcotics trafficking is a way of establishing secure pathways into the United States. If there is a hole in our border due to corruption by drug traffickers, that hole can be used to ship more than narcotics. It can be used to ship suitcase nuclear bombs. With illegal immigration there is an additional concern. The Russian and Chinese general staffs have long been fascinated by Hitler's invasion of Norway. In that invasion German combat units entered Norway disguised as civilians. Once on Norwegian soil they deployed to sites where uniforms and weapons were waiting. Entire German combat units were able to invade Norway without having to fight their way up beaches. The country was penetrated in depth at the outset. Laugh if you like, but the United States is not invincible. If an alliance of relatively weak countries intended to defeat the United States in a war, they would have to take advantage of every potential avenue of attack. The open U.S. border to the south is an obvious weak point. In a typical war scenario, after a general nuclear exchange, thousands of Chinese soldiers pre-deployed to Mexico could move across the border and grab key points. Therefore, Chinese and Mexican warships escorting Chinese shipments to Baja California should raise a red flag. OK, perhaps it is only narcotics trafficking today. But some day it could be turned into something more. And that fact makes the problem absolutely intolerable from a national security standpoint. Ironically, Clinton has declared a state of national emergency because of the threat of nuclear and biological terrorism on American soil. Executive Order 12938 was issued on Nov. 14, 1994. Unfortunately this laughable "state of emergency" -- which hardly anyone knows about -- cannot do much as long as our borders are easily penetrated. A few years ago I happened to interview a Mexican gun runner. He bragged about his contacts in the Mexican underworld. With a loaded gun lying on the table, he philosophized in broad Marxist generalities, hinting at the liberation of Mexico, the liberation of the poor and downtrodden peoples of the Southwest. He also mentioned his Cuban "friends" and contacts. He spoke of the day when suburban America would be exterminated. "These people are living in a dream world," he told me. He laughed at America's politicians and bureaucrats. There is a pattern in all of this. Gun running and drug smuggling along America's southern border is not merely criminal. There is a political and ideological component which has long been ignored. There should be little doubt: when terrorism overtakes us, drug traffickers and gun runners will have played a key role. From a strategic standpoint, Mexico sits at our soft underbelly. Any country waging war with the United States would covet a secret alliance with Mexico. Such an alliance would open an avenue of attack. For this reason alone the participation of Mexican
[CTRL] Alien Incompetency Theory
-Caveat Lector- The SWAMP GAS JOURNAL Special Issue #4 ISSN 0707-7106 Spring, 1996 Alien Incompetency Theory: A Unified Theory to Explain UFO Phenomena by Chris Rutkowski One of the most significant issues in ufology today is the attempt to explain the wide variety of conflicting, confusing and bizarre elements of the UFO phenomenon. In every subfield of ufological studies, there are aspects which strain the logic of even the most seasoned researcher and cause one to doubt the rationality of the genre. To this end, a new theory has been developed by members of Ufology Research of Manitoba (UFOROM) which appears to explain most, if not all, of these baffling elements. The theory, labelled AINT, is the Alien INcompetency Theory, and describes how all the confusing aspects can be explained by assuming one simple tenet: aliens are incompetent. To illustrate the theory, one need only to look at examples from within the phenomenon itself, including its outlying subfields. First, let us look at alien abductions. One of the basic premises of alien abductions is the conscious recall by abductees of their experiences aboard alien spacecraft. Nearly all abductees report that during their ordeal, the aliens create some sort of mental block within their minds so that they cannot remember what has occurred. Yet, as evidenced by the huge number of abduction accounts published and under investigation, these mental blocks are ineffective. This is odd, considering the advanced technology and knowledge reported to be held by the aliens. Some abductees report that their captors claim thousands of years of development beyond our own, yet they, too, have failed to produce a lasting screen memory that can withstand our feeble efforts to unlock it via simple hypnosis techniques duplicable by any charlatan or stage magician. Why would this be? (Vladimir Simosko, a UFOROM associate and noted Fortean researcher, has suggested some alternatives. Aside from sheer incompetence, he notes two other possibilities: 1) aliens have a wacky sense of humor; and 2) they *want* us to remember, despite the pretense of intending us to forget.) Another curious observation is that nearly all abductees report aliens with roughly humanoid shapes and comparable sizes, but with different origins and purposes. Some aliens tell their victims they are from Venus, some from the Pleiades and others from Zeta Reticuli. Since space science has learned Venus cannot support life, this is obvious misinformation. As for the Pleiades, these are stars much younger than our Sun and without hope for planets with suitable living conditions at this time. Some aliens claim their home planet has deteriorated from misuse and pollution, and wish to warn us about our own disruption of our planet. Others suggest they need our biological material to breed new life (literally) into their gene pool, perhaps to regain such things as emotions or other human characteristics. It is interesting that these scenarios imply that the aliens have somehow caused their own demise and that without our help they are lost. In other words, they made some serious mistakes. It is not too much of a stretch to suggest they were incompetent in managing their resources! Of course, some aliens are said to claim that they are superior to us and have their own agendas. This is precisely the claims an incompetent person would say to cover his or her mistakes in order to keep from being embarrassed. We can look at other aspects of abductions for further evidence. One abductee studied by John Mack described how she woke up one morning after her abduction, wearing lavender underwear. This was baffling to her because she didn't own any underwear of that color. Mack quickly interpreted this to mean that the aliens had somehow made a mistake on board their craft during a busy mass-abduction, and mixed-up abductees' clothing. Other abductees have reported returning from their abductions with slippers on the wrong feet and other items of clothing either missing or improperly fastened. In a case studied by Budd Hopkins, an abductee's earrings were found to be in backwards after her ordeal on board a craft. This all speaks to one explanation: the aliens were incompetent. One would hope that superior beings who have been watching humans for many years would have easily picked up nuances such as the color of our clothing and the way jewelry is fastened to our bodies. Simosko would again note that this could be a display of an alien sense of humor, or perhaps an "intelligence test" of some sort. Regarding further refinements of AINT, he offers four postulates: 1) If the aliens are intervening to "help us along," they are incompetent because it isn't working out too well; humans remain relatively unsophisticated and not very "tuned-in" to the universe. 2) If the aliens are intervening by holding us

With credit existing only in our thoughts, and the Federal Reserve has said that their system "works only with credit", we are on the THOUGHT STANDARD as opposed to a gold standard. You can think that you have money and think that you pay taxes and think that government spends money when they do not spend a dime in a system that works only with credit. You can think that you are a free person while others control your mind and your body by controlling your thoughts but you are in fact a slave as was your parents and grandparents before you. To muse is to think; amuse is no think. Amusements inhibit serious thinking. Actors, entertainers, ball players, hockey players, musicians, pornographers, novelists, journalists, preachers, teachers and others are highly rewarded with credit -- if they can keep us from thinking about how we will get money for taxes in a system that works us only with credit and why our use of credit must be ruthlessly regulated by "taxation" and other unbelievable means. --- --- http://dieoff.org/page22.htm All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because, being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances. The larger evils invariably escaped their notice. --George Orwell, 1984 - TV MUTANTS There have been many studies which suggest that television increases violence, increases tribalization, shortens attention span and lowers school performance among heavy viewers. But that is not my concern here. Instead, I am concerned that watching television instead of reading tends to degrade the minds of heavy viewers so that they can not think in abstractions such as "cause and effect." In other words, the 100 billion dollars spent on advertising each year, has simply burned abstract reasoning out of their minds. Today with functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), researchers catch brains in the very act of cogitating, feeling or remembering. The scans show that blood flow varies depending upon the type of activity the brain is occupied with. In other words, a child that grows up on a heavy diet of TV viewing has a physically altered brain. Once adulthood is reached, it is still possible to enhance brain function but it requires much more effort. Needless to say, it is naive to expect TV-mutants to "figure it out" anytime soon. In AMUSING OURSELVES TO DEATH, Neil Postman provides a brilliant analysis of our TV-mutant society: "We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares. "But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another -- slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny 'failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.' In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley
[CTRL] Project Monarch: Nazi Mind Control
-Caveat Lector- http://www.brotherblue.org/libers/monarch.htm Project Monarch: Nazi Mind Control --- Amidst the subtle cerebral circumvention of the gullible populace, through a multitude of manipulated mediums, lies one of the most diabolical atrocities perpetrated upon a segment of the human race; a form of systematic mind control which has permeated every aspect of society for almost fifty years. by Ron Patton To objectively ascertain the following, one may need to re-examine preconceived ideologies relating to the dualistic nature of mankind. Resolving the philosophical question of whether we are inherently good or inherently evil is tantamount in shaping our perception of reality; specifically, the spiritual variable within the equation of life. This exposition is substantiated by declassified U.S. government documents, individuals formerly connected to the U.S. intelligence communities, historical writings, researchers knowledgeable in mind control, publications from mental health practitioners, and interviews taken from survivors unwittingly subjected to a highly complex form of trauma-based mind control known as MONARCH programming. A word of caution for survivors of intensively systematic mind control and/or some form of ritualized abuse: There are numerous "triggers" in this article. It is therefore recommended not to read it unless appropriate support systems are in place or if you have a thoroughly reintegrated personality. A Brief History of Control The Mystery Religions of ancient Egypt, Greece, India and Babylon helped lay the foundation for occultism, meaning "hidden knowledge." One of the earliest writings giving reference to occultism is the Egyptian Book of the Dead, a compilation of rituals explicitly describing methods of torture and intimidation (to create trauma), the use of potions (drugs) and the casting of spells (hypnotism), ultimately resulting in the total enslavement of the initiate.1 These have been the main ingredients for a part of occultism known as Satanism, throughout the ages. During the 13th Century, the Roman Catholic church increased and solidified its dominion throughout Europe with the infamous Inquisition. Satanism survived this period of persecution, deeply entrenching itself under the veil of various esoteric groups. In 1776, a Bavarian Jesuit by the name of Adam Weishaupt was commissioned by the House of Rothschild to centralize the power base of the Mystery Religions into what is commonly known as the Illuminati, meaning "Enlightened Ones." This was an amalgamation of powerful occultic bloodlines, elite secret societies and influential Masonic fraternities, with the desire to construct the framework for a "New World Order." The outward goal of this Utopia was to bring forth universal happiness to the human race. However, their underlying intention was to gradually increase control over the masses, thus becoming masters of the planet. The Anglo Alliance By the 19th century, Great Britain and Germany were recognized as the primary geographic areas of Illuminati control. It then should be of little surprise to know the first work in Behavioral Science research was established in England in 1882, while much of the early medical and psychiatric techniques involved in mind control were pioneered at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Germany. The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations was set up in London in 1921 to study the "breaking point" of humans. Kurt Lewin, a German psychologist, became the director of the Tavistock Institute in 1932, about the same time Nazi Germany was increasing its research into neuropsychology, parapsychology and multi-generational occultism. Interestingly, a progressive exchange of scientific ideas was taking place between England and Germany, most notably in the field of eugenics: the movement devoted to "improving" the human species through the control of hereditary factors in mating. The nefariously enigmatic union between the two countries was bonded, partly through the Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society which consisted of many high ranking officials in the Nazi party and British aristocracy. Top SS Nazi officer Heinrich Himmler was in charge of a scientific project called Lebersborn, which included selective breeding and adoption of children, a peculiarly large number of twins among them.2 The purpose of the program was to create a super-race (Aryans) who would have total allegiance to the cause of the Third Reich (New World Order). Much of the preliminary experimentation concerning genetic engineering and behavior modification was conducted by Dr. Josef Mengele at Auschwitz, where he coldly analyzed the effects of trauma-bonding, eye-coloring and "twinning" upon his victims. Beside the insidious surgical experimentation performed at the concentration camp, some of the children were

-Caveat Lector- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/ 1999-08/29/001r-082999-idx.html Early Jews believed dead people, good and bad, all descended to the same destination, a nondescript underworld called Sheol. "There is no concrete Jewish vision of the afterlife..." HELL ON EARTH The scorched rockwalls of a valley below Jerusalem are saturated with the blood of untold abominations. This is the pit, the root of our worst fears. By Edwin Black Special to The Washington Post Sunday, August 29, 1999; Page F01 Below the Old City walls in Jerusalem there is a ravine that begins as a gentle, grassy separation between hills, then quickly descends south into the rocky earth. Eventually the ravine becomes a steep, craggy depth, scarred on its far side by shallow caves and pits pocked by hollowed-out chambers and narrow crypts. Everywhere you see scorches and smolder from trash fires. Rivulets of urine trickle down from open sewers at the cliffs above, watering thorn bushes, weeds and unexpected clumps of grass among the outcroppings. You smell the stench of decaying offal, the congealed stink of putrefied garbage and the absorbed reek of incinerated substances seared into the rock face. Crows circle low. Worms and maggots slither throughout. Listen. Imagine. Some cannot help but hear the tormented screams of babies being burned alive, the macabre incantations of the idolatrous in gruesome celebration, the agonized cries of helpless victims, and so many echoes of death and disconsolation that dwell here so pervasively not even the centuries can silence them. Welcome to Hell. Some say the real Hell -- or at least one of the central prototypes for our modern concept of that horrific place. This is Jerusalem's Gei Ben Hinnom, the Valley of the Sons of Hinnom. The valley was named for an alien nonsemitic family, the Hinnom clan that predated the First Temple period a thousand years before the Christian era, and established the locale as a place of abomination. Gei Ben Hinnom became Ge Hinnom (Valley of Hinnom), and eventually Gehenna in English or Gehennem in Arabic and Hebrew. Those who walked through the biblical Valley of the Shadow of Death walked here. Hellish images of unending torture and fire as punishment for a life of evil owe much to this hideous acreage, just a short walk from the path of righteousness that leads to the Temple Mount. Hellish Sacrifice Perhaps it is fitting that the path to Hell begins delightfully. In recent years, the northern and inoffensive length of the valley has become a zone of chic Israeli gentrification: exquisite town homes, landscaped parks, a concert bowl at the Sultan's Pool and movie theaters. But, as the ravine carves deeper and deeper between the rocky hills, and as it rounds the corners of Mount Zion into East Jerusalem en route to the Arab village of Silwan, Gei Ben Hinnom conjoins with the Valley of Kidron. Here it traverses a stretch that has become a sort of urban no-man's-land in the struggle between Arab and Israeli. As land that defies political peace, this is the only part of the valley that Arabs cannot improve and that Jews dare not. Therefore, little has changed here for centuries. Still visible are the original, deep angular cuts into the flat scorched stone that held the infamous Tophet, pagan altars created hundreds of years before Christ. Tophet altars are said to be named for the noisy drum that devotees of the mysterious dark god Molech would beat to drown out the ghastly cries of children immolated in sacrifice in front of their own willing parents. In the black rapture of their faith, mothers and fathers not only witnessed the sacrifice, but glorified the act. Beneath the ancient Tophet altars, one can still see foreboding square entryways barely big enough for a human torso to squeeze through. Within those depths lay a complex of carved-out crypts, as well as chambers for ritual preparation of the sacrificial victims. Little is known about Molech. Some archaeologists speculate that the Molech idol in Gei Ben Hinnom was equipped with outstretched, cantilevered arms that extended a small platform upon which the innocent baby was tied. Slowly the platform would swivel toward the consuming flames as the baby shrieked in helpless agony. No wonder this most hideous place is the focus of so much biblical wrath: "He defiled Tophet, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so that no one would make a son or a daughter pass through fire as an offering to Molech" (II Kings 23:10). "Therefore the days are surely coming, says the Lord, when this place shall no more be called Tophet, or the Valley of the Sons of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter" (Jeremiah 19:16). The Hinges of Hades But how did a very authentic site of pagan abomination help define the concept of eternal punishment we call Hell? Two separate dynamics have been

The Alta Vendita ruled the blackest Freemasonry of France, German, and England; and until Mazzini wrenched the scepter of the dark Empire from that body, it continued with consummate ability to direct the revolutions of Europe." - Mgr. George E. Dillon, D.D., Grand Orient Freemasonry, Unmasked as the Secret Power Behind Communism In 1816, Charles Nodier, an alleged Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, "published anonymously one of his most curious and influential works, A History of Secret Societies in the Army under Napoleon... It develops a comprehensive philosophy of secret societies. And it credits such societies with a number of historical accomplishments, including the downfall of Napoleon." - Baigent, Leigh Lincoln, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail "In the early nineteenth century, certain figures -- Charles Nodier, for example... and Filippo Buonarroti, a master conspirator who was much admired by such men as Bakunin -- make a point of inventing, and disseminating information about a number of wholly fictitious secret societies. So convincing was this information that perfectly innocent people found themselves being harried and persecuted for alleged membership of clandestine organizations that did not exist. Confronted by such persecution, the victims, as a means of self-defense, began to form themselves into a real secret society which conformed to the blueprint of the fictitious one." - Baigent, Leigh Lincoln, The Messianic Legacy According to the Carbonari, or "charcoal-burners", the history of this organization started in Scotland as happy democratic mystics. "For the purpose of avoiding suspicion of ulterior motives, they took to charcoal-burning, which is described as the industry par excellence of Scotland." Francis I, King of France, was supposedly admitted to the Order. "When he went back to France, he scrupulously fulfilled his undertaking, declaring himself Protector of the Carbonari, and he increased their numbers. The Order now spread through Germany, France and England." "It has been said by some historians that the inspiration of the Carbonari and similar societies came from pre-Christian times, for there were settled in the Alps communities which seemed to owe allegiance to Gnostic and other ideas which some profess to see reflected in Freemasonry, Templarism and the discipleship of the way of the Sufis." "The Italian patriots Garibaldi, Mazzini and Cavour revived the secret society after 1830, and its members were again found to be ready for any sacrifice for republicanism and rule by the Carbonari. The effect which they had upon the world was considerable: and it continued to be so. For fifty years they had fought in civil war; they spread to many other lands, including Germany, where they were responsible for the Totenbund (the Death League) which was dedicated to assassinating tyrants.) - Arkon Daraul, Secret Societies --- (2) The Palladian Rite Hoax "In 1870, Mazzini and Pike reached an agreement for the creation of the new supreme rite, to be called the New and Reformed Palladian Rite. Pike was to be called the Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, and Mazzini was to be called Sovereign Chief of Political Action. Pike was to draw up the statutes and grades." - William T. Still, New World Order "No mention of it would ever be made in the assemblies of the Lodges and Inner Shrines of other rites... for the secret of the new institution was only to be divulged with the greatest caution to a chosen few belonging to the ordinary high grades.

But we want something better for America in the new century than an establishment Republican Party whose beliefs on issues of deep concern to me are virtually identical to those of Clinton and Gore. --- Z from [146.142.92.30], at 2:05pm ET I've always viewed the Reform Party as a group of political misfits who were incompatible with either of the two major parties. Asside from its renegade mentality, does the Reform Party have any core beliefs on issues? If so, how well do they coincide with yours? --- Pat Buchanan at 2:06pm ET On protecting U.S. jobs and our industrial base, on keeping Americans out of foreign wars that are none of our business, on a new immigration policy that will cut back legal immigration to 250,000 a year and enable us to repair the Melting Pot, I agree entirely with most of the Reform Party. As for their being "misfits" people have called me the same thing. --- Gene Hoskins from [204.134.208.33], at 2:07pm ET Why not try to change the Republican Party from within? This decision seems to be political suicide for both the Republican nominee and you? --- Pat Buchanan at 2:09pm ET The truth is Gene, we have changed the Republican party at the grass roots, it is anti-NAFTA, anti-GATT, against the apeasement of communist China with special trade privleges and against Clinton's undeclared wars. The problem is the Republican establishment is not influenced by the party platform or the party rank and file. And then you gotta make a decision: how can I support a Republican hierarchy when it wishes to take America in a direction I believe my country must not go? --- Mike from [204.202.132.11], at 2:09pm ET Just tell us yes or no: will you leave the GOP and run for president on the Reform ticket? Please give us a straight answer. --- Pat Buchanan at 2:10pm ET The straight answer is: I have not decided and will not for at least a month. There are too many potential barricades and roadblocks being thrown up already in our path for me to decide now. --- Tom Rainwater from [205.138.140.170], at 2:11pm ET Mr. Buchanan, is it possible that the integrity of the office of the president can be restored? How can that be accomplished? --- Pat Buchanan at 2:11pm ET Remove Bill Clinton. --- Mark Wasson from [63.72.184.67], at 2:12pm ET Are you concerned aboout the infringement of the 4th Amendment by law

[CTRL] Lest We Forget - Vietnam Vets
-Caveat Lector- Lest We Forget Lest we forget..."100 years of great women" . - Jane Fonda should never be considered. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. Folks, There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane Fonda's participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is one of them. Part of my conviction comes from exposure to those who suffered her attentions. In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a former POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton." Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp Commandant's feet, accidentally pulling the man's shoe off-which sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col still suffered from double vision-permanently grounding him-from the Vietnamese Col's frenzied application of wooden baton. From 1983-85, Col Larry Carrigan was 347FW/DO (F-4Es). He'd spent 5 years in the "Hilton"- the first three of which he was 'missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the leaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge...and handed him the little pile. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col Carrigan was almost number four. For years after their release, a group of determined former POWs including Col Carrigan, tried to bring Ms. Fonda and others up on charges of treason. I don't know that they used it, but the charge of "Negligent Homicide due to Depraved Indifference" would also seem appropriate. Her obvious "granting of aid and comfort to the enemy," alone, should've been sufficient for the treason count. However, to date, Jane Fonda has never been formally charged with anything and continues to enjoy the privileged life of the rich and famous. I, personally, think that this is shame on us, the American Citizenry. Part of our shortfall is ignorance: most don't know such actions ever took place. Thought you might appreciate the knowledge. Most of you've probably already seen this by now... only addition I might add to these sentiments is to remember the satisfaction of relieving myself into the urinal at some airbase or another where "zaps" of Hanoi Jane's@##$% face had been applied. To whom it may concern: I was a civilian economic development advisor in Viet Nam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Viet Nam in 1968, and held for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I was weighing approximately 90 lb. (My normal weight is 170 lb.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I said yes, for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we POWs were receiving, which was far different from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient." Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a piece of steel rebar placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane every time my arms dipped. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She did not answer me, her husband, Tom Hayden, answered for her. She was Mind controlled by her husband. This does not exemplify someone who should be honored as "100 Years of Great Women." After I was released, I was asked what I thought of Jane Fonda and the anti-war movement. I said that I held Joan Baez's husband in very high regard, for he thought the war was wrong, burned his draft card and went to prison in protest. If the other anti-war protesters took this

Box 2723, Arlington, VA 22202 Website: http://www.twf.org -- Press Contact: Enver Masud Greed At Core Of Indonesia's Timor Problem by Enver Masud WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At its core the problem of East Timor, and indeed much of Indonesia, has a lot to do with greed rather than the Muslim-Christian divide portrayed in the media. From ancient times until the 7th century AD Indonesia was ruled by various Hindu kingdoms among which the Majapahit Empire became the most powerful. Sumatra was then known as the "island of gold, and Java as the "rice island." Muslim traders began arriving in the 13th century, and Islam spread peacefully through the islands. The descendants of the Hindu kingdoms retreated to the islands of Bali and Lombok where they flourish to this day. With the fall of Muslim Spain in 1492 (as in the Americas, Africa, and South Asia), came 350 years of brutal colonial rule and exploitation. First to arrive were the Portuguese in 1511 AD. The Portuguese were followed by the Dutch (1602 to 1799 AD), the British (1811 to 1815 AD), and again the Dutch (1816 to 1908 AD). The colonial masters took slaves, forced the natives to grow crops for export which resulted in famines, and destroyed the thriving inter-island trade. By 1908 nationalist movements began seeking self-government, and Indonesia declared independence on August 17, 1947. Sukarno, a leader of the independence movement, became president. He was overthrown in 1965 by Suharto in a U.S. backed military coup in which it is reported that one million people, mainly Chinese, were killed. When the Dutch and Portuguese formally partitioned East Timor between them in the 19th century, East Timor remained a part of the Portuguese colony. The governor of Portuguese Timor, in 1974, granted permission for political parties, and five emerged. Said to be lacking popular support Fretilin, the party seeking independence, resorted to terror, civil war broke out, and on August 27, 1975 the governor and Portuguese officials abandoned the capital Dili. The U.S. armed, trained Indonesian military entered East Timor to stop a civil war. Fretilin, supplied with arms from the Portuguese army arsenal, declared East Timor independent. The four other parties in East Timor declared their independence and integration with Indonesia. East Timor became the 27th province of Indonesia, but this claim was not recognized by the UN. Rich in natural resources, Indonesia's primary problem is the equitable sharing of these resources. Foreign interests, and internal corruption, add to the inherent difficulty that while Java is Indonesia's most heavily populated island, many of the resources are located in less populated islands. According to former U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia, Edward Masters, Indonesia did more in 35 years to develop barren, infertile East Timor than Portugal did in four centuries. Indonesia allocated development funds to East Timor at a rate six times the national average.

I'm fired up! Glenn - Buchanan strikes fear into GOP September 16, 1999 BY ROBERT NOVAK SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Even before Pat Buchanan burned his bridges on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, front-runner George W. Bush's strategists had given up on talking him out of bolting the GOP. They now concentrate on keeping the Reform Party presidential nomination from Buchanan, and that leads them to St. Paul, Minn., and Gov. Jesse Ventura. A Bush operative indirectly contacted Ventura, the nation's only major officeholder elected under the Reform banner, to see whether he might contest Buchanan for the fledgling party's nomination. The word back to Austin was that Ventura would seek another candidate but might "consider" running himself, if nobody else is available. If Buchanan is nominated, he also has indicated privately, he might leave the Reform Party and take his followers with him. Bush's presidential express, encountering a Buchanan bump in the road, has to rely on the gravel-voiced wrestler. Bush strategists believe no Reform candidate will drain away more GOP voters than Buchanan--not even Ventura, though he might collect a higher overall percentage. Complacent Republicans had told themselves that good old Pat never would leave the party of his mentors, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, despite years of contemptuous treatment from the party's hierarchy. Hopelessly behind the curve, they were stunned by his description of the GOP as a "Xerox copy" of the Democrats. Republican National Chairman Jim Nicholson's long-sought talk with Buchanan will take place in a couple of weeks. But if Bush himself could not persuade Buchanan to stay, how could Nicholson? Buchanan has all but closed the exit doors. He lunched Monday in New York with Reform pillars Pat Choate, Ross Perot's 1996 vice-presidential running mate, and Lenora Fulani. Washington consultant Choate long was connected to congressional Democrats, especially House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt. Fulani, an African-American woman, ran for president in 1988 as a left-wing independent. Moreover, Buchanan is eyeing newly installed Teamsters chief James Hoffa as his vice president. No offer has been tendered, but Hoffa has not said no in advance. What's a born-and-bred Republican like Pat Buchanan doing with the likes of Choate, Fulani and Hoffa? The tie that unites them is opposition to free trade, NAFTA, GATT and the World Trade Organization. Buchanan is targeting more than disaffected right-wing Republicans, envisioning a coalition of losers in the global economy who want closed borders on trade and immigration. The last piece in the puzzle for Buchanan is Perot himself. My telephone call to the Reform founder in Dallas was returned by Russ Verney, the party's former national chairman, who said Perot is not giving political interviews and will stay neutral in the presidential selection. But not really neutral. Choate told me: "He [Perot] certainly likes Pat Buchanan and welcomes him." Pro-Buchanan comments from Perot lieutenants Verney and Paul Truax, the Reform Party's southwest coordinator, signal their chief's intentions. Buchanan has no illusions about going around the Dallas billionaire. "This is Ross Perot's party," Buchanan told me. They have not yet spoken to each other, and Buchanan will not trigger a media feeding frenzy with a summit meeting. A simple telephone call will do to get the founder's tacit blessing. With Republican assumptions that pro-choice Perot never could embrace pro- life Buchanan now shattered, Republicans count on Ventura to save them. It will be difficult for Ventura to run for president two years after being elected governor by chastising Republican candidate Norm Coleman for seeking the governorship one year after being re-elected mayor of St. Paul. Apart from presidential ambitions for 2004, Ventura's views on trade--pro- NAFTA, anti-protectionist--are described by an aide as "diametrically opposed" to Buchanan, who is viewed by the governor as "preoccupied with the social

[CTRL] Vojvodina
-Caveat Lector- From www.bhhrg.org/serbia/serbia1999-3.htm A post-war visit to Novi Sad Yugoslavias second city, Novi Sad, was repeatedly bombed during NATOs 78 day-long air campaign. Its three bridges across the Danube were destroyed early in the war but the bombing of economic targets in and around the city continued throughout the conflict. Novi Sad is both the most ethnically diverse city in Central Europe and the Balkans and the capital of Serbias northern province of Vojvodina with its significant Hungarian minority. Since 1996 the majority of its city council has been composed of opponents of President Milosevics Socialist Party. Novi Sads status as a multi-cultural city run by opponents of President Milosevic made NATOs repeated attacks incomprehensible to many of its citizens. At the start of August, 1999, two members of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group visited Novi Sad. Their aim was to assess the economic, political and medical effects of the NATO bombing of the city. They met with representatives of the Red Cross, several political parties, the mayor of Novi Sad, and with the press and information Minister of the City council. They also visited sites that had been damaged or destroyed by NATO bombing as well as met with refugees from Kosovo and the director of Novi Sad's main hospital. Introduction War damage Political repercussions Hungarian political parties and the question of autonomy Refugees Conclusion The publications of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group do not express a corporate view. The Group is, however, grateful to the authors of its reports. Any views or recommendations expressed in the Group's reports are those of their authors alone. First published: 19 August 1999 Introduction The city of Novi Sad and the province of Vojvodina have had a chequered history. After the Habsburgs conquered the area on the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 17th century Emperor Leopold promised the Serbian subjects of the Ottoman Empire that their rights would not be curtailed under his rule. In order to urge them to rise against the Ottomans he, therefore, promised that the Serbs would be allowed to continue to elect their leaders, or voivods. Hence the name Vojvodina. As part of the Hungarian Kingdom under the Habsburgs, the Slavic majority in fact suffered discrimination especially after 1867 when Hungarian self-rule effectively excluded non-Magyar rights. The area became part of the new Yugoslav Kingdom in 1918 after the collapse of the Habsburg empire at the end of the First World War. After German-Hungarian occupation in the Second World War, Vojvodina was made a showcase of minority rights Communist-style under Titos regime. Like Kosovo, the Vojvodina gained autonomous status under the 1974 constitution and - again like Kosovo - lost effective autonomy in 1989 (though as with Kosovo it should be remembered that the autonomy between 1974 and 1989 was for local Communist leaders and not in any sense pluralistic). The province is often seen as a potential future flashpoint because of its ethnic make-up. After the many wars and population expulsions in the former Yugoslavia Vojvodina is now the most ethnically mixed area in the former Yugoslavia. Both because other areas have been 'ethnically cleansed' and because the Vojvodina has absorbed some 300.000 refugees from all over Yugoslavia. Many different nationalities inhabit the province such as Romanians, Slovaks and Croats. The population of the small town of Beocin is said to contain 28 different nationalities. But those who fear further ethnic strife point a the sizeable Hungarian minority in the province. It is often assumed that the Hungarians - similar to the Albanians of Kosovo - want autonomy or even secession from the remainder of Yugoslavia. However, such a simple comparison between Kosovo and Vojvodina is misleading. Hungarians make up only 16% of the total population of the province, whilst Serbs account for 60%. Most Hungarians live in the north of the province; the Hungarian population of the capital Novi Sad accounts for 8 percent. On the other hand, it seems that many in Vojvodina - not least the Serbs - regard themselves temperamentally different from the Serbs in the rest of the country. Often, this is explained as a result of Habsburg rule. Aleksander Ivkovac, member of the local council told BHHRG observers: " I call myself a Vojvodinian". In general, most people BHHRG observers spoke with showed a dislike for the government of Slobodan Milosevic but at the same time hated NATO for bombing their city. In only one case did a man refuse to talk, saying he was still to angry with NATO and the West. His demeanour was not threatening, however. Most people were very hospitable and willing to express their views. Nobody could understand why NATO had hit so hard at Novi Sad. After all, the city council has been firmly in
[CTRL] Everyone's getting rich! (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Everyone's getting rich! And other common sense. by Bob Harris Everyone's Getting Rich! Or so screams the cover of Money magazine's May issue. On which planet, Money doesn't specify. Beneath the headline stands an upper-class white couple wearing blue and red - literally embodying the American flag, intentionally or not - on a lawn, crudely retouched into a literal field of green. The clear message: if you're not getting rich, you're an un-American loser. But not to worry: inside are Money's top 10 recommended stock investments. None of which will help much if you don't have tens of thousands of dollars lying around to invest. So who, pray tell, does common sense tell you "Everyone" is? I'm driving down LaBrea in Hollywood with two friends a few months ago (I'll call them Larry and Moe). In the course of a discussion of President Clinton's shockingly steady popularity, one of them attributes it - as is common - to the terrific economy. So I respond that the economy isn't terrific at all. As a matter of fact, it sucks. (I'm a lot less articulate when I'm bonding with my male friends.) My friends express shock at such heresy. Larry is an honors graduate of Georgetown University who, despite his education and effort, still struggles with two part-time jobs and barely gets by. Moe is an actor who, after years of pavement-pounding, finally landed a small, recurring role in "Buff), The Vampire Slayer," putting him in the upper 2% of income earners in his profession, which means he can afford a one-bedroom apartment. Moe also qualifies for health insurance through his union, a luxury the vast majority of other members don't receive because they don't make enough money. Even where we are - a relatively nice part of town - homeless people with shopping carts sit hopelessly in bus shelters near almost every stoplight. On our left, we'll soon pass a grocery store well-known for union-busting. On our right, we're approaching a McDonald's whose counter staff has worked 60 years for something close to minimum wage. If we hang a left and drive a bit, we'll pass the closed gates of several small specialty stores, followed by a strip mall anchored by the big, boxy building supply store that drove the smaller stores out of business. Outside the big box on weekday mornings, you can often see poor men, many with families, lining up, hoping maybe a contractor buying supplies will hire them as day laborers with no benefits or security. All of which is in plain sight. And still my intelligent, good-hearted, well-educated friends need a lengthy explanation. A recent Louis Harris poll discovered that only about half of all American adults can answer even the simplest economic questions. Here, try one: If the price of beef doubled and the price of poultry stayed the same, people would most likely buy: A. More poultry and less beef. B. Less poultry and more beef C. The same amount of poultry and beef. (If you need me to tell you the answer, please remove your wallet, proceed to the nearest public space, and begin hurling ali your cash at total strangers. You probably already do this every day without realizing it.) Given 20 such questions, less than a third of Americans scored a C or better. Half of the adults and two-thirds of the high school students received an F. Here's some other stuff not enough people understand, the results of decades of policies and laws designed to benefit Money's concept of Everyone at the expense of everyone else: In the 1970s, the top 1% of households had about 20% of the national wealth. This was widely considered excessive. Today, the percentage of wealth they control is over 40% and climbing. Thirty years ago, about 10% of American households were broke, with a net worth of zero or less. Fifteen years ago, that number was about 15%. Today the number is almost 20%. Most Americans have a lower net worth than they did 15 years ago, when this greatest stock market rally in history began. The bottom two-fifths of households have lost about 80% of their average net worth. The middle fifth has lost about 11%. The richest 1% of America owns more wealth than the entire bottom 95% combined, and the inequality is increasing. Twenty years ago, a typical big-time corporate CEO was paid about 40 times what an average worker received. CEOs today are paid almost 420 times as much. Jack Welch, the GE CEO who eliminated 128,000 jobs, is paid $83.6 million annually. Meanwhile, after what economists will soon call the longest economic expansion in U.S. history, 20% of all American children now grow up in poverty. And Money can write "Everyone's Getting Rich!" in giant letters across the cover. We hear the idea so frequently these days - often expressed by corporate media pundits with six- and seven-figure
[CTRL] Manifesto Destiny (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 18:15:00 Manifesto destiny: the enduring sexiness of Karl Marx. by Jeremy Smith "The longer I spend on Wall Street, the more convinced I am that Marx was right." - Stockbroker quoted in "The Return of Karl Marx," by John Cassidy, The New Yorker, Oct. 20-27, 1997 In 1999, why should we read the Communist Manifesto? If we should read the Manifesto, then how should we read it? Before I try to answer those questions, let me ask another: Have you ever read the Bible? I've read the Old Testament and sections of the New. The Good Book does contain spasms of sad beauty: the story of Eden, the destruction of Sodom, the song of Solomon, and the betrayal of Christ by his disciples, to name a few. But let's face it: Most of the Bible is written in the most turgid style imaginable, built on endless lists, archaic references, and pointless repetition. When I ride the Boston subway every morning, who do you think I see reading that difficult text, the Bible? Professors? Lawyers? Software engineers? No. By and large, those reading that hoary book are women on their way to work as cleaning ladies, retail clerks, and secretaries. Even without formal education to ease the Bible's difficult language, most Christians I know recreate its stories and ideas from within their lived experience - a profoundly creative and social activity. They do not struggle with the Bible and other religious texts in isolation. They have study groups, Sunday schools, weekly sermons, priests, ministers, rabbis, and mass media. Entire movements, communities, and nations have arisen from the soil they till. Which brings us back to the Communist Manifesto, 150 years young as of 1998. Published by two twenty-somethings named Marx and Engels in 1848, the Manifesto has sold nearly as many copies as the Bible - and it's a much better read. As the millennium ends, the Manifesto is sexy again. Verso's coffee table edition sells like hotcakes. The Manifesto is favorably quoted in a Star Trek episode in which alien employees organize a labor union, and by rebellious worker ants in the film Antz. Academic, free-market economists frequently quote the Manifesto and rank Marx among the great prophets of capitalism. As John Cassidy writes in The New Yorker. "[Marx] wrote riveting passages about globalization, inequality, political corruption, monopolization, technical progress ... issues that economists are now confronting anew, sometimes without realizing that they are walking in Marx's footsteps." Of course, the recognition of the Manifesto's importance comes with a very important, highly ritualized caveat: Marx was right about capitalism, but wrong about the alternative. Indeed, say the modern bourgeoisie, we live in the best of all possible worlds. Are they right to say so? This is not an idle question. Before capitalism, incomes doubled every 630 years. From the advent of the first industrial revolution until today, incomes have multiplied 10 times in Great Britain, 18 in the United States, and an astonishing 25 in Japan. Life expectancy grew, while communication became instantaneous and transportation cheap and fast. Agriculture developed the capacity to feed the world (even if politics and the market held it back from doing so), and economies began to suffer from an absurd predicament: crises of overproduction. In short, capitalism eradicated scarcity. But at a well-documented price: decimated cultures, deracinated populations, astounding inequality, a damaged environment, and famines and wars without end, on a scale without precedent. Marx predicted this, of course. Communism is predicated on the success of capitalism, and the bloody contradictions that its success would entail. Those who work for a living, he argued, would supplant the power of those who live by owning, to create a society based on equality, cooperation, and production for use instead of profit. But somehow, miserably, slowly, the credibility of Marx's alternative has been chipped away. Capitalism has not, as Marx predicted, "simplified the class antagonisms," with "two great classes directly facing each other: Bourgeoisie and Proletariat." Rather, society atomized into a hundred contending subcultures and occupations, each of its members identifying with a consumer niche instead of a "class." The "advanced proletariats" of the USA and western Europe did not revolutionize the means of production, but instead plunked down in front of the TV, beer in hand, to watch the peasants of Asia, Africa, and Latin America wage nationalist wars against their colonial oppressors, and then against each other. Millions have died, and yet in no country has a worker's paradise come into being, the very violence of its birth precluding the technological, industrial, civil, and moral basis of a "good

This is the law which mandates that, after October 1, 2000, federal agencies may not accept for identification purposes any document that does not conform to the standardization guidelines which are to be established by the Department of Transportation in conjunction with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). The mandatory requirements include the inclusion of social security numbers on the ID document application and other nondescript security features intended to prevent duplication and fraud. According to AAMVA publications, the intention is to ultimately require some form of biometric identification such as a fingerprint. The implementing regulations have already been drafted and were published in the Federal Register for the required public comment period (which was first announced by ScanThisNews the day they was published), but they were withdrawn when the DOT received a large amount of public objections. More on the history can be found here: http://www.networkusa.org/fingerprint/page1/fp-dot-money-withheld.html And, excerpts from the law itself can be found here (scan down to section 656): http://www.networkusa.org/fingerprint/page2/fp-104-208-immigration.html Finally, although I encourage everyone to do as is suggested below, contact your representative, please remember that when the time rolls around when this law is slated to go into effect, nearly all of the states will have already complied with all of the standardization guidelines.

[CTRL] UN forces in E Timor dig in as militias refuse to give up
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Rich Winkel) To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: UN forces in E Timor dig in as militias refuse to give up Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 23:15:51 -0500 (CDT) /** reg.easttimor: 3067.0 **/ ** Topic: AFP: UN forces in E Timor dig in, as militias refuse to give up ** ** Written 12:58 PM Sep 20, 1999 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] in cdp:reg.easttimor ** Subject: AFP: UN forces in E Timor dig in, as militias refuse to give up Peacekeepers in East Timor dig in, as militias refuse to give up DILI, East Timor, Sept 20 (AFP) - Hundreds of multinational peacekeepers Monday dug in for their first night in the East Timor capital of Dili, as the militias which laid waste to the city signalled they had not given up the fight against independence. More than 1,000 heavily-armed troops, most from Australia and New Zealand, with a cutting edge of combat-honed Gurkhas, took up positions at key points in the city, its port and airport, with night-goggles and rifles at the ready. Their unopposed dawn arrival, with the troops chatting with Indonesian army soldiers at Dili's Comoro airport, appeared to signal the beginning of the end of Indonesia's brutal quarter-century occupation of the territory, which has left an estimated 200,000 dead. In a briefing at the end of the day, the spokesman for the Indonesian East Timor Martial Law Command, Lieutenant Colonel Willem Rampangilei, said a total of 1,190 soldiers from at least six countries had arrived by dusk. The number would rise to 2,500 in the next few days, he said. But the militia, apparently all but bannished from the capital they ransacked, said in messages through Indonesian media that they had regrouped just inside the border to defend the unity of Indonesia. "We will not attack the UN peacekeeping troops," the deputy chairman of the newly-named National Unity Front (FPB), Joao da Silva Tavares, told the SCTV private Indonesian television from the town of Balibo. However, Tavares said the group sought to defend "our territory," and the official FPB declaration swore to "defend the wholeness of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and free East Timor from the chains of neo-colonialism and the grips of new colonialists." But in Dili for the new arrivals, sweating in full combat gear, it was a city with, in the words of one United Nations officer: "No food, no water, no nothing," but the charred remains of the miltia rampage which avenged the 78.5 percent vote for independence on August 30. Major General Peter Cosgrove, the Australian commander of the International Force for East Timor (Interfet), said his troops met no resistance. "This can be seen as an arrival rather than some sort of aggressive military deployment." But he added the city was "still, from my point of view, a pretty risky environment." In the only reported encounter as they patrolled the streets on foot and in armoured personnel carriers, soldiers from New Zealand stopped a man riding a motorbike and confiscated his home-made rifle without any fuss. Interfet is charged with restoring security in East Timor, bringing aid to hundreds of thousands of desperate refugees driven out of its towns and cities by the militias, and upholding the independence vote. Indonesia's martial law commander, Major General Kiki Syahnakri, sent by Jakarta after some troops here openly collaborated with the militia in their two-week spree of murder and destruction, has said he will hand over control to Cosgrove by the end of the week. "The withdrawal of troops is proceeding," Syahnakri said. Monday's air deployment was expected to be followed at dawn Tuesday by the arrival of warships in Dili to unload bulky equipment including more armoured vehicles. While the militia gangs seemed to have virtually disappeared from Dili, several hundred of the thousands of refugees they chased out of their homes were still living in squalor among ruined buildings and along the harbour. Barefoot children wandered along the bay as Indonesian naval vessels prepared to ship them and their families to Kupang, in neighbouring West Timor clearing the area for the arriving troops. A small contingent of US marines travelled with Cosgrove's approval to explore the possibility of moving some of the troops to Baucau, 115 kilometres (70 miles) east of here, to ease congestion at Dili's airport. However, there was no indication how soon the peacekeepers would spread out through the rest of the territory, where up to 190,000 refugees, many sick and starving, were believed to have fled. About 200,000 others had crossed the border to Indonesian West Timor to escape the violence. In Darwin, a spokesman for East Timorese resistance leader Xanana Gusmao said he had begun steps to set up a government in exile in Australia and intended to appeal to the World Bank for help for the impoverished territory. And in Jakarta, the Australian embassy continued to pay the price
[CTRL] Colombia's Pastrana against foreign intervention, trusts FARC leader
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: Colombian Labor Monitor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: Colombia's Pastrana against foreign intervention, trusts FARC leader Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 23:09:46 -0500 (CDT) Tuesday, 21 September 1999 Colombia's Pastrana against foreign intervention, trusts FARC leader --- By Ana Maria Echeverria UNITED NATIONS -- Colombian President Andres Pastrana told the United Nations that he vehemently opposes foreign intervention in his country regardless of the pretext, an allusion to talk about foreign soldiers going in to quell ongoing violence. Talk has swirled in the region about a multinational military force of Latin nations, coordinated by the United States, entering Colombia to stop the seemingly endless violence between the government, the three Marxist rebel groups, right-wing paramilitaries and drug lords. Citing an increase in the drug trade, the United States has increased its assistance to the Colombian military over the past months. Yet Pastrana, speaking to the 54th UN General Assembly on Monday, even reaffirmed his trust in Manuel "Sureshot" Marulanda, the leader of the largest and best-armed rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The violence in Colombia took a turn for the worse when peace talks between Pastrana's government and the FARC broke down when the rebels refused a government demand for an international force to monitor activity in the Switzerland-sized demilitarized zone under FARC control. Pastrana reminded the General Assembly that "one of the sacred bases" of the UN charter is the obligation of states "to not intervene directly or indirectly in affairs of other nations." At times Pastrana seemed to be reacting to Secretary General Kofi Annan's speech earlier in the day, in which Annan said the United Nations must intervene over the rights of sovereign states when necessary to protect civilians from war and mass slaughter. Annan, drawing on lessons in Rwanda and Kosovo, told the Assembly that its "core challenge" in the 21st century is "to forge unity behind the principle that massive and systematic violations of human rights -- wherever they occur -- should not be allowed to stand." Pastrana was not swayed, at least when it came to Colombia. "International peace is based on the sovereignty of the member countries," he told the General Assembly. In a press conference after his speech, Pastrana said he continued to believe that FARC leader Marulanda was still committed to peace. "I believe in Marulanda's word, and I expect it to be fulfilled," Pastrana said. Despite the setbacks "we have advanced more in the past months (towards peace) than in the previous 15 years," he said. The FARC said in a statement Sunday that an alleged alliance between Pastrana and the US government to fight the rebels casts doubt on Colombia's peace efforts. Pastrana's alliance with the United States to intensify the war against the FARC, "which has been disguised as an attempt to fight drug trafficking ... casts doubt on the government's intentions for peace," the rebel group said in the statement. Pastrana, however, insisted that he wanted to talk peace, and that he was against any kind of foreign intervention regardless of the pretext. "Colombia will accept no type of foreign intervention," Pastrana bluntly told reporters. Top US officials have also repeatedly denied plans to militarily intervene in Colombia.

[CTRL] KLA reborn after dissolution
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: MichaelP [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: KLA reborn after "dissolution" Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 21:22:42 -0500 (CDT) BBC:Tuesday, September 21, 1999 Published at 10:35 GMT 11:35 UK KLA deal a 'milestone' for peace Nato Secretary-General Javier Solana has hailed an agreement on the disarming and demilitarisation of the Kosovo Liberation Army as a "milestone for the ongoing peace implementation efforts" by the international community in Kosovo. The deal, signed by the Nato-led peacekeeping force and the KLA on Monday, ended several days of deadlock over the KLA's future role in Kosovo. The pact provides for the transformation of the KLA into a 5,000-member Kosovo Protection Corps, under the command of the former rebel army's leader, General Agim Ceku. The corps will be restricted to no more than 200 weapons for guard duties. Speaking at Nato headquarters in Brussels, Mr Solana said all the weapons the KLA was required to hand over were now in storage sites under the control of the K-For peacekeepers. He warned that anyone violating weapons bans in the province would be "dealt with severely". The KLA was to have been disbanded at midnight on Sunday, but discussions became deadlocked over the structure and role of the new civilian body. KLA leaders wanted the force to be the nucleus for a new national army of an independent Kosovo and were demanding the right for more members to be allowed to bear arms. But Nato insisted the corps should be a lightly-armed civil defence body restricted to humanitarian work and disaster relief. There were also differences over the leadership, name and insignia of the corps. LIMITED WEAPONS The signing followed a day of intensive negotiations led by Nato Supreme Commander General Wesley Clark, who flew in after the talks became deadlocked. The Kosovo Protection Corps will operate under the supervision of the commander of K-For. "KLA personnel will cease wearing uniforms and KLA insignia from midnight on 21 September," a K-For statement said. "A limited number of weapons will be available for personal protection and the number of weapons available to KPC personnel responsible for guarding and protection duties has been agreed at 200.'' The pact was signed by the KLA's political leader Hashim Thaci, Gen Ceku, UN special representative Bernard Kouchner and K-For leader General Michael Jackson. During the deadlock, Gen Jackson had warned that the KLA's refusal to accept the civilian corps plan could threaten Kosovo's future. 'VIRTUAL ANTIQUES' Under a phased 90-day disarmament process signed in June, it was agreed that the majority of KLA troops would return to civilian life, that uniforms would be removed and weapons handed in. Gen Jackson said the disarmament of the KLA was complete, with more than 10,000 weapons turned in to peacekeepers. However, it is unclear whether this constitutes the total number held by the rebels. Many of the weapons which reporters have seen at collection centres are in poor condition or virtual antiques. A BBC correspondent in Kosovo says what remains to be seen is how well the deal will be received by Serbia and Russia. || In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. || http://www.angelfire.com/mi/smilinks/thirdeye.html || __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Albright lobbies for Iraq human shield at UN
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: David Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: Albright lobbies for Iraq human shield at UN Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 23:10:05 -0500 (CDT) Albright lobbies for Iraq human shield at UN United Nations: Sept 21 (South News) US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright insisted Monday that any easing of the devastating sanctions against Iraq must not enrich Saddam Hussein "for palaces and poison gas" on the eve of expected talks about Iraq at the United Nations. "The Baghdad regime has tried hard to silence the Iraqi people and to hide the evidence of its crimes against them," Albright said in a statement. Her comments seem to come in reply to the senior United Nations official in Baghdad who called on Sunday for an immediate and unconditional lifting of many sanctions that would open the way to bigger flows of food, medicine and most other Iraqi imports. In an impassioned call about the dangers of "using the human shield" in hopes of coaxing Iraqi concessions on arms issues Hans von Sponek, United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq said on Sunday, "Please remove the humanitarian discussions from the rest in order to really end a silent human tragedy." On the opening day of the annual U.N. General Assembly session, Albright met in her hotel room with a group of Iraqi opposition leaders, financed to lobby other countries about the Iraq sanctions as part of President Clinton $97 million that Congress earmarked for supporting efforts within Iraq to topple the current government "This courageous group, visiting New York for the opening of the General Assembly, has shown that Saddam has failed." She said the dissidents "told me of the regime's continuing daily oppression against all those Iraqis still subject to Baghdad's control. ." Foreign ministers of the five Security Council permanent members, meanwhile, are to meet for talks on a possible suspension of the embargo on the sidelines of the General Assembly. France, Russia and China, among the five permanent Security Council members, have been sympathetic to Iraq's contention that its Government has essentially carried out its obligations to the weapons inspectors. Those Governments now appear to support a plan that would allow an immediate end to the sanctions in return for Iraq's agreement to a new and less intrusive system of weapons inspection. But the United States and Britain, which believe that Iraq may still be concealing an illicit weapons program, have argued for tougher terms. Together with the Netherlands, Britain has called for a plan that would allow only a moderate easing of the sanctions -- and only after a test period of several months that would be intended to gauge Iraq's cooperation with a new inspection regime. Foreign Minister Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf travelled to New York on Sunday to argue Iraq's case at the UN General Assembly for a lifting of the sanctions which Baghdad says have cost more than one million lives. Last week Iraqi Foreign Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf presided over the Arab League meeting, marking the first time Iraq had taken the chair since the Gulf war. Speaking at the close of the league's two-day meeting here, Esmat Abdel-Meguid, the Arab League's secretary general, said Arab states would like to see the lifting of U.N. sanctions. Hans von Sponek, said a dispute over plans to revive international weapons inspections in Iraq now posed increasing risks to the social fabric in a country that has already borne more than nine years of United Nations sanctions. "Don't play the battle on the backs of the civilian population by letting them wait until the more complex issues are resolved," Sponek, a German who is the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq, said in an interview. Sponek and his predecessor, Denis Halliday, have long tried to turn international attention toward the suffering of ordinary Iraqis, even as the United States and Britain have focused on the intransigence of the Iraqi Government, and blamed that Government for the travails of its citizens. Sponek, the United Nations representative, has responsibility only for humanitarian issues, and not the arms inspections. But even among those who disagree about weapons inspection, he noted, there is a consensus that ordinary Iraqis have suffered under the embargo; all, he argued, should move now to halt what he called their "continuing deprivation." Pointing to increases in crime, including prostitution, and the deteriorating quality of education, Sponek said he believed that Iraq should be given broad latitude to import any goods that did not also have military use. Iraq's health authorities said Sunday that 7,632 children under the age of five died in August as a result of shortages of food and medicines caused by the sanctions, the Iraqi News Agency said. It said the children died of diarrhea, pneumonia, breathing problems and malnutrition, compared

[CTRL] TURKEY: Prisoners Released, Conscience Still Locked
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Rich Winkel) To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: RIGHTS-TURKEY: Prisoners Released, Conscience Still Locked Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 23:17:28 -0500 (CDT) /** ips.english: 474.0 **/ ** Topic: RIGHTS-TURKEY: Prisoners Released, Conscience Still Locked ** ** Written 9:06 PM Sep 20, 1999 by newsdesk in cdp:ips.english ** Copyright 1999 InterPress Service, all rights reserved. Worldwide distribution via the APC networks. *** 20-Sep-99 *** Title: RIGHTS-TURKEY: Prisoners Released, Conscience Still Locked By Ertugrul Kurkcu ISTANBUL, Sep 20 (IPS) - In leaving the jail where he spent the last six years for 'press crimes,' 59 year-old sociologist Ismail Besikci showed last week no thankfulness to the Turkish parliament that 'pardoned' him - ''I have been released, yet I'm not free,'' he said. Besikci is one of the first dissidents to benefit from a Turkish Parliament's decision ordering the release of journalists and writers convicted for their work. The bill was ratified by president Suleyman Demirel more than two weeks ago. Cheered by Turkish and Kurdish admirers who gathered in front of the northwestern Bursa province prison, Besicki left with a van-load of books, court files and documents, towards his home in Ankara, which he had last seen in November 1993. He will have to watch his words, though, because the amnesty is half-hearted. All those 'pardoned' are legally bound not to commit the same 'offence' in the next three years or else go back to prison and serve the rest of their sentences. The exact number of journalists and writers to be released is yet uncertain. The government says 32 convicted journalists will be freed in the following weeks, but the process seems has been slowed-down by bureaucratic hurdles. The law excludes those sentenced for delivering speeches. Thus, human rights activist Akin Birdal and lawyer Esber Yagmurdereli will remain serving their nine-month jail terms for demanding peace between the Turkish state and Kurdish rebels. ''This is a sin committed against freedom of conscience,'' says Besikci, who was sentenced to 79 years and a 20,000 US dollars fine. for 52 offenses, all related to his writings. He is still awaiting trial for another 55 accusations. ''Lawmakers expect us to suspend our consciousness for three years in order to be fully free. You are released but your conscience is still under arrest. What a pity,'' he said. ''This is cosmetics,'' says Osman Ergin deputy chair of the Istanbul Bar Association. ' '' With this amnesty, the Turkish government just expects to have a broader margin in the forthcoming negotiations with the European Union and the United States, who have been critical of Turkey's poor human rights records and restrictions on freedom of expression,'' he said. ''Adding insult to injury, the amnesty is being slowed down by local officials'' - Ergin says . ''Local prosecutors are the least willing to enforce the law. They transfer the files out of their jurisdiction.'' Cartoonist Dogan Guzel was one of those whose release was delayed by bureaucratic manoeuvres until Saturday, 18 september. Sentenced to 50 months for five separate cases under charges of ''diminishing the spiritual identity of the State'', Guzel watched for two weeks how his file was being moved from the district prosecutor's office to his superiors' and back. ''According to the Turkish law, holding a person even for one extra minute is a serious crime, yet I have been staying here for two extra weeks,'' he angrily said in a telephone interview. ''The prosecutors themselves are committing crimes,'' deputy bar chair Ergin claims. ''This can not be explained with ordinary bureaucratic sluggishness.'' ''This is the eighth time that I have been released from prison,'' Besicki recalled - ''not counting another four times I had been under police custody. Yet, none led me to proper freedom.'' He was last imprisoned under charges of separatism for an article titled ''The Meaning of Kurdish Women's Participation in the Guerrilla War.'' As his trial proceeded, his was further sentenced for other articles. Author of 36 books and numerous articles on the taboo issue of the Kurdistan, Ismail Besikci has been harassed from the very start of his academic career. He was first sentenced to a 13-year term by a military court in 1971 - under martial-law regulations - for a book ('The Order in East Anatolia'), an article ('The Origins of Underdevelopment') and for several lectures at Erzurum University, where he was teaching sociology. Released three years later, Besikci was stripped from his teaching post and expelled from the university. A later work - 'The Official Turkish Doctrine of History and The Kurdish Question' - once again led him to jail in 1979. He has spent a total of 18 years in prison, paying for almost every line he has published. Known among Kurds

[CTRL] AD 2100: miserable life on overcrowded Earth
-Caveat Lector- Original Message Follows From: Mark Graffis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: AD 2100: miserable life on overcrowded Earth Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1999 21:19:12 -0500 (CDT) A.D. 2100: Cornell study warns of a miserable life on overcrowded Earth if population and resources are not controlled FOR RELEASE: Sept. 20, 1999 Contact: Roger Segelken Office: (607) 255-9736 E-Mail: [1][EMAIL PROTECTED] ITHACA, N.Y. -- One hundred years from now, democratically determined population-control practices and sound resource-management policies could have the planet's 2 billion people thriving in harmony with the environment. Lacking these approaches, a new Cornell University study suggests, 12 billon miserable humans will suffer a difficult life on Earth by the year 2100. "Of course, reducing population and using resources wisely will be a challenging task in the coming decades," says David Pimentel, lead author of the report titled "Will Limits of the Earth's Resources Control Human Numbers?" in the first issue of the journal Environment, Development and Sustainability. "It will be much more difficult," Pimentel says, "to survive in a world without voluntary controls on population growth and ever diminishing supplies of the Earth's resources." Even at a reduced world population of 2 billion in A.D. 2100, life for the average Earth dweller will not be as luxurious as it is for many Americans today. But the lifestyle won't be as wasteful of resources, either, the Cornell ecologist predicts. Some observers are seeing early signs that nature is taking a hand at reducing human populations through malnutrition and disease. According to the report, global climate change is beginning to contribute to the food and disease problems. "With a democratically determined population policy that respects basic individual rights, with sound resource-use policies, plus the support of science and technology to enhance energy supplies and protect the integrity of the environment," the report concludes, "an optimum population of 2 billion for the Earth can be achieved." Then the fortunate 2 billion will be free from poverty and starvation, living in an environment capable of sustaining human life with dignity, the report suggests, adding a cautionary note: "We must avoid letting human numbers continue to increase and surpass the limit of Earth's natural resources and forcing natural forces to control our number by disease, malnutrition and violent conflicts over resources," the report says. Among the key points in the report: -- The world population is projected to double in about 50 years. -- Even if a worldwide limit of 2.1 children per couple were adopted tomorrow, Earth's human population would continue to increase before stabilizing at around 12 billion in more than 60 years. The major reason for continued growth is "population momentum," due to the predominantly young age structure of the world population. -- The U.S. population has doubled during the past 60 years to 270 million and, at the current growth rate, is projected to double again, to 540 million, in the next 75 years. Each year our nation adds 3 million people (including legal immigrants) to its population, plus an estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants. -- Increasing U.S. and global population will place restrictions on certain freedoms: freedom to travel and commute to work quickly and efficiently, freedom to visit and enjoy natural areas, freedom to select desired foods and freedom to be effectively represented by government -- Today, more than 3 billion people suffer from malnutrition, the largest number and proportion of the world population in history, according to the World Health Organization. Malnutrition increases the susceptibility to diseases such as diarrhea and malaria. -- One reason for the increase in malnutrition is that production of grains per capita has been declining since 1983. Grains provide 80 percent to 90 percent of the world's food. Each additional human further reduces available food per capita. -- The reasons for this per capita decrease in food production are a 20 percent decline in cropland per capita, a 15 percent decrease in water for irrigation and a 23 percent drop in the use of fertilizers. -- Biotechnology and other technologies apparently have not been implemented fast enough to prevent declines in per capita food production during the past 17 years. -- Considering the resources likely to be available in A.D. 2100, the optimal world population would be about 2 billion, with a standard of living about half that of the United States in the 1990s, or at the standard experienced by the

Bresnahan © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com RUSTON, Louisiana -- Hundreds of students in this little town don't want to wear their Social Security numbers around their necks for all to see. Their school administrators have ignored their complaints even though their numbers are growing. When the school year began a few weeks ago, the students at Ruston High School, like many students across the nation, were required to wear an ID badge as part of added security precautions. The badges in Ruston include each student's Social Security number, a violation of federal law according to two students. The badges are worn on a lanyard with the Pepsi logo on it. The badge has a photo of the student, the school name, the student's name, and a barcode which represents the Social Security number. Although administrators claim the number is protected from unauthorized use through encryption in the barcode, the students know that is not true. To prove how easy it is to read the barcodes, Jonathan Washington, 16, reads any barcode in about 15 seconds. He tells other students their Social Security number and then asks them to sign his petition to have the cards changed. His methods are convincing. Over 350 students have signed in just the first few days. Rachel Winchel, 16, another Ruston student, is helping to spread the protest and circulate the petition. "We just aren't taught code 39 barcode encryption in school. It's just another system that is easily learned. It's not that hard," explained Washington to WorldNetDaily. He has created an {HYPERLINK "http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bridge/1086/School/barcodes.html"}Internet web page to teach others how to read the cards. Washington and Winchel are also concerned that a student from the school did the work to enter all the Social Security numbers into the computer that was used to make the cards. They said little or no security was used to protect the numbers from unauthorized use. "Parents should have some concern because their children's Social Security numbers are linked directly to theirs in all financial records. If you have a child's you can get the parents'. It's a financial jeopardy to just about everyone in school," complained Washington. He said his concern is a philosophical one, not religious. Winchel is of a different opinion. "I have religious and moral convictions behind what they're doing as it being wrong. It's totally appalling," she said in a phone interview. "I'm a person that's made by God and I'm not a number. I'm more special than that. I do believe that it's religiously wrong. I don't want to be branded and labeled as livestock. We're more special than that," said Winchel. Washington is opposed to ID cards in general and does not want his Social Security number displayed for all to see, nor does he want it to be in school computers. His parents are seeking legal counsel and have not ruled out a lawsuit. The parents of both Washington and Winchel expressed complete support for what their children are doing. Dr. Charles Scriber is principal of the school. Although he met with Washington and his parents, he has ignored a written complaint from Winchel and her mother. He has not granted a written request for an appointment to discuss her concerns. In an {HYPERLINK "http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19990922_xex_louisiana_hi.shtml"}interview with WorldNetDaily he defended the practice and claims the cards are legal. He said he has no plans to change the cards. Since the faculty and administration also wear the cards, students are busy taking down their Social Security numbers with plans to publish the results on the Internet if the cards are not discontinued. "Actually, it's not difficult to look at it and know what it means," explained Winchel. "There's narrow bars and there's wide bars. Each number zero through nine has a code. By memorizing the code for the number zero through nine, you can just glance at someone's card and the numbers just pop out. "Many kids at school can do it, and it doesn't take very long to even learn. That's why it concerned me because it's very easy to learn," she explained. Winchel and Washington have cut the barcode from their cards. Amanda Winchel, Rachel's younger sister, changed her card. She painted over the barcode then created a new one which represents the number 911. Winchel and Washington have now stopped wearing their cards, but they have not been disciplined for doing so. Their actions could lead to expulsion from school, but that is a risk they are willing to take to stand up for what they believe is right. {HYPERLINK "http://www.cab.latech.edu/ruston/rhs/hand2.htm"}The Ruston High School Student Handbook detail the rules regarding the cards and spells out the possible penalties for infractions. Washington's complaints to Dr. Scriber produced a sudden change in policy in the past few days.
[CTRL] Fwd: Identity, Privacy and Personal Freedom
-Caveat Lector- {Commentary"}Identity, Privacy and Personal Freedom © 1999 Claire Wolfe The attack on privacy by Big Brother and his Little Brother corporations is more than mere theft. It's murder. It's the murder of individuality. Once-free people are becoming mere resources to be {HYPERLINK "http://www.privacyinternational.org/survey/"}tracked, cataloged and manipulated. More people are waking up to the harm being done to their freedom by universal ID, surveillance and personal data- tracking. They're looking around, sleepy-eyed, and asking, "But what do I do about it?" I've said before and I'll say again: There is no one answer. And there are no easy answers. The onslaught against privacy is such a blitzkrieg that humanity in general may be as helpless as the Poles were against Hitler 60 years ago this month. But even if that pessimistic view is accurate (and I hope it's not) individuals can be privacy partisans -- if we're willing to make the effort and take the risks. I have no silver bullet to offer in this fight against evil. (And beware of anyone who claims to.) You are going to need to examine a lot of options, weigh them against your own lifestyle and personality -- and run them through your own BS filter, besides (as there's a lot of nonsense out there, or a lot of techniques that may work for a short time, only to bring trouble down on you later). But there are good techniques for those gutsy or determined enough to use them. Let me introduce you to a man who's got a lot of them. Sheldon Charrett is a private detective -- a professional snoop. He's also "... an individual who's experienced a lifetime of injustice and finally got sick of it." He has written several books including {HYPERLINK "http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/087364946X/wolfeslodge"}The Modern Identity Changer and his newest, {HYPERLINK "http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1581600429/wolfeslodge"}Identity, Privacy, and Personal Freedom: Big Brother vs. The New Resistance. Both books are published by {HYPERLINK "http://www.paladin-press.com"}Paladin Press. New Resistance is a 225-page compendium of privacy how- tos. Some chapters -- like those on Internet and telephone privacy -- focus on commonsense advice anyone can use (like how to make sure your browser doesn't automatically give your name to every website operator). Other chapters are more hardcore -- like the one on how to obtain real government documents with an unreal identity (easiest if you're young), and the one that contains very detailed instructions on how to make your own ID, complete with homemade faux hologram. The book is pricey -- $40 (Ouch!) -- and no, it doesn't contain any silver bullets. But it does hold a wealth of useful info -- info that's as up-to-date as any can be in this time of mega- encroachment. I asked Sheldon about New Resistance and privacy: Can you give me your pocket opinion on why privacy protection is increasingly important? Privacy has been evanescing since the dawn of the industrial age. But with the recent quantum leaps of what I'll call the computer age, privacy is now violently boiling away -- evaporating before our very eyes. It's a classic case of technology far outpacing sociology. If we don't vigilantly protect our privacy today, our children will be born into a world where privacy can only be read about in history books -- if such books will still be allowed - - and ultimately be inured to further attempts to crush the spirit of the individual. For example, can you imagine a congressman 200 years ago proposing to the House a numbering scheme for social security purposes? He wouldn't have gotten off the floor in one piece. But today, descendants of those congressmen routinely propose ways of using the Social Security number to more efficiently control the masses. Why? Because when they were born, the number already existed. For them, the number is a fact of life to be accepted. There is no longer a question of whether we should have such a number to begin with. Rather the question is, "How do we use it?" I think this is very unfortunate. SSN issues are becoming more difficult every day. Do you have some recommendations for ordinary working people to avoid universal numbering in their lives? To begin, I'd recommend not working for any large outfits unless you're willing to put up a large fight to keep yourself unnumbered. Work for small businesses and ask to be paid as an independent contractor. Many small businesses will actually prefer this arrangement. Medium-sized businesses will want to give you a 1099-MISC at the end of the year, at which point you'll have to provide a {HYPERLINK "http://www.irs.gov/prod/forms_pubs/pubs/p3340101.htm"}taxpayer identification number. Just tell them it has been "applied for." If you meet resistance, use the tactics from Chapter 10, "Banking Privacy." Many of those techniques will apply here. What are the three most important actions (or attitudes) for guarding privacy? One: Question

NewsHawk Inc. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I've received information today--Sept.23, 1999-- from 2 of my sources, both of whom I trust, that the Denver Metro area will be hit with a Bio-Chemical attack sometime within the next month. I've known of Bio-Chemicals being stored in the Mountains just outside Denver, possibly in/on Mt. Evans, for quite some time. I've spent a lot of time attempting to locate said Bio-Chemical weapons, and the terrorists that hold them and guard them. They are a conglomerate of "terrorists" in that some are Mexican, some are Russian, some are Libyan, some are Afghani, etc. We anticipated this attack closer to the Y2K deadline, but are not surprised at the accelerated date. We believe this will be used as the excuse to declare Martial Law, and of course remove what freedoms we have left, after first killing between 300,000 - 400,000 people: population reduction, in other words. Buy Gas masks and Bio-Chemical suits, now. As always, these plans CAN be thwarted if we make this public enough, albeit, for a brief period of time. Only God and his son can ultimately put a stop to these bastards. And they will, in their time. Anyway, please pass this on to everyone you can possibly think of an have them make this information known as publicly as possible. Also, I hold you to your promise of my complete anonymity. Thanks.

[CTRL] Fwd: Total Corruption
-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_metaksa/19990923_xctme_t otal_corr.shtml Total Corruption Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely seems to be the new law enforcement motto. From the highest law enforcement office down to the street cop corruption is rampant. From Los Angeles to New York City examples of rogue cops are becoming the rule rather than the exception. In addition to the daily surprises of lying and cover-ups from the Department of Justice, other federal agencies are equally arrogant and contemptuous. {HYPERLINK "http://www.nytimes.com/library/opinion/lewis/092199lewi.html"}Anthony Lewis writes about a pregnant American citizen who has been held in jail since June by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) due to a dispute concerning her citizenship. The problem of corrupt, ruthless, or inept law enforcement at every level of government is a recurring problem in society. Police certainly don't disturb the skeletons in their own closets, while politicians live in awe and fear of the police establishment. According to Amnesty International, "Most U.S. police departments have strict guidelines on the use of deadly force. ... However, it is clear that these standards are frequently breached and that too often the authorities have turned a blind eye to abuses." In 1993 after the tragedies at Ruby Ridge and the Mount Carmel Center under the auspices of the FBI, a coalition of the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National Rifle Association, the Second Amendment Foundation, and others began building a case for ineptitude, disregard for civil rights and bad law enforcement on the part of federal law enforcement. New leadership in Congress and a strong push by the coalition led to initiation and funding for the Commission on the Advancement of Federal Law Enforcement. The commission will issue its final report next week. The final recommendations in the Draft Staff document is a disappointment. I hoped that the commission would not only make recommendations for improving the current organizational structure of federal law enforcement agencies, but would also review their abysmal civil rights legacy and put together strong recommendations to ensure civil liberties. Although I have not seen the entire report, it appears that only the final recommendation, "Focus on Professionalism, Integrity, and Accountability," which covers issues such as recruitment, training, rules of engagement, and the use of force, even touches on the question of law enforcement abuses. It's probably just too much to ask any law enforcement agency or a commission headed by a former FBI director to properly address shortcomings and abuses. After all, when local police need oversight, local leaders either turn to a civilian review board or ask the Department of Justice to review the allegations. It was over seven months ago when {HYPERLINK "http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_metaksa/19990211_xctme_gunned_dow.shtml"}I wrote, "The pattern is the same: a hail of bullets, police promises of a swift and fair investigation, community activists call for federal involvement, community leaders asking for calm and patience, and then a long silence pending the results of an investigation." The geography may change, but the incidents begin to blend one into the other. In that article I called for a return to a civilian focus for police training rather than military Rambo-type training. At least the commission recommends that annual training in the use of deadly force, which "should not be confused with firearms re- qualification," be required for all federal law enforcement personnel. But again the new military-attack mindset of the police rears its ugly head. The latest revelations of criminal activity in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) appear to be just the tip of a corrupt group of cops with a Rambo-style attitude. In fact the Los Angeles Times says they emulated the style of the gangs they were policing. According to yesterday's {HYPERLINK "http://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/STATE/UPDATES/lat_crash990922.htm"}Los Angeles Times: Justice Department (DOJ) officials have been monitoring the LAPD for the last several years to determine whether there is any pattern of use of excessive force. The purpose of such "pattern and practice" reviews, authorized by federal law in 1994, is to ensure proper management and oversight at police departments and, if needed, to bring federal lawsuits to pressure local authorities into cleaning up their operations. The Justice Department official said the latest allegations, involving falsified police reports and framed suspects, go well beyond the issues that the federal government previously had been examining at the LAPD. The pattern that DOJ officials have been monitoring includes cases where cops shot and killed a frail mentally ill Margaret Mitchell, holding nothing

-Caveat Lector- Only in America.. The Mortgage "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton. Welcome to EZBreeZee Mortgages. I'm Alan Greenspan. No, no relation, sorry to say. May I call you Bill and Hillary? Fine, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill it is. "So you want to buy the old Rye Brook place, 4-something acres, as I recall. That's $2.2 million, and, with the customary 20 percent down $440,000 - that leaves a mortgage of $1,760,000. No problem. We do these kinds of deals all the time. Now let's just have a look at your financial statements. "Let's see. Mr. Clinton, you are the president of the United States, of course, and your salary is - oh, dear - $200,000 a year. We usually recommend buying a house that costs no more than two-and-a-half times your annual salary. That means you should be looking for something around $500,000, perhaps a nice brick rancher on a quarter of an acre, not too fancy a neighborhood? "And I see here that you'll be out of a job in 16 months or so. What will you do then? Open a library. In Little Rock, Arkansas. Wow! I bet that will be some kind of money-maker. "Mrs. Clinton, you're running for Senate, right? "Let's see. Senators are paid $130,000 a year - assuming, of course, you're elected - so even with Bill's pensions, you should still be looking for a house in the $325,000 range. Maybe a nice center-hall colonial where the schools aren't so good. "Mrs. Clinton, you haven't worked outside the home since 1991, correct? But you did some volunteer work, I see. You came up with a plan to overhaul the entire national health care system? "I see. It flopped, in other words. "But I see you had several business ventures back in Arkansas. How about this Whitewater Development Corp.? "It went bankrupt. "And Madison Guaranty? "Bankrupt. "And Castle Grande? "Bankrupt, too. "If you had gone to Yale Business School instead of Yale Law, you could probably get your money back. "Now, don't get upset. It was just a little joke. "A little bad luck with the law, too, I see. ?Three of your business partners went to jail? "Maybe you could get your money back. "This is an embarrassing question, I know, but we have to ask because it does, after all, affect your ability to pay: "Any problems in your marriage? No? Fine. "Let's look at your assets: $1.5 million. "Not bad. "Yes, yes, Mr. Clinton, we're not forgetting your Mustang back in Little Rock. "But oh, those liabilities. You owe $5.5 million. That means you're $4 million in the hole. "How do you expect to pay that off? "You're hoping people will donate to a special fund. "So basically, you're relying on the chartity of strangers. "You also have some serious expenses. A kid at Stanford has got to be setting you back $30,000 to $35,000 a year, probably more with the air fares. And she wants to go to medical school? Ouch! "And Mr. Clinton. There's a little matter of a $90,000 fine for lying in court. I guess that rules out putting your law degree to work. "Say, now, how do we know you're not lying on your loan application? "Good point. It would look a lot better if you were lying. "Are there any other legal matters we should know about? "You say you're in the clear, Mr. Clinton, and the first lady is 'pretty much in the clear indictment-wise'. What does that mean? "You don't think - don't think - she's going to get hit with a perjury or obstruction of justice rap. "But we're not totally sure, right? "That means there's the remote possibility - note that I say 'remote'-that you could be trying to pay off a $1.76 million mortgage while making 12 cents an hour stitching mailbags for the feds and he is trying to make a go of a library in Little Rock. "Let's review the situation. "One of you is now unemployed and the other one soon will be. "You have these whopping great debts that you're hoping someone is going to come along and pay. "You have a financial history that can only with great charity be described as 'checkered* plus a bunch of serious financial demands and ongoing legal problems. "Your tangible assets seem to consist of an old Ford. "So, congratulations! Welcome to the EZBreeZee family of home-owners. You've got your mortgage!

[CTRL] Rich nations owe billions to the poor (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- -- Forwarded message The Guardian Weekly 23-9-1999, page 12 Rich 'owe' billions to the poor by Mark Atkinson Far from being in debt to rich countries, the world's poorest nations are owed hundreds of billions of dollars by them for the disproportionate amount of environmental damage they inflict on the planet, says a report* published this week by one of Britain's leading charities. Christian Aid says that the developed world's bill on its carbon dioxide account is three times as large as its financial debt from the developing world - $612bn compared with $200bn. The report says that rich countries' demands for debt repayments are morally illegitimate and undermine the ability of poor countries to achieve internationally agreed poverty reduction targets. Andrew Simms, a policy adviser at Christian Aid, said: "We constantly think of the world's poorest countries as being in debt to us . . . But these debts are dwarfed by the huge and rising carbon debt owed by the rich countries to the global community." A quicker and more generous debt relief package was agreed in principle at the annual meeting of the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations in Germany this year, but details are still being worked out. This week Britain stepped up pressure on the European Commission to contribute euro;1bn ($1.04bn). To calculate carbon debt, Mr Simms has taken the world population in 1990 and divided it by the carbon dioxide emissions that scientists at that year's inter-governmental panel on climate change said would be permitted to hit the target of a minimum 60% reduction in production of global warming gases. Mr Simms reckons that gives everyone an allocation of 0.4 tonnes a year, with each tonne priced at $3,000 according to the contribution it is estimated to make to global GDP. On that basis, he says heavily indebted poor countries are in credit on their climate account because of their under-use or efficient use of fossil fuels, while the developed world is deeply in the red. * * * -- DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

I first learned of odd things going on there, because my college boyfriend and I were something of amateur private investigator types, and we started noticing a lot of odd things going on at Cal Poly. One of them is that, at least in the 1970's, there was a spook training school on campus. After a while, we started sitting up on the hill above campus with high-powered binoculars and watching odd things, or tailing people on our own. We came to the realization that some sort of training school was operating out of the basement of the now-demolished business building. I have since had it confirmed by a net contact that there was/is a covert ops training center there. Your information about the power spots does not surprise me. I had friends in the Indian Council in San Luis Obispo, and from them learned that Diablo Canyon, the site of the nuclear reactor, was one of these, which was one reason they were so upset. The "master spirit gate" for the West Coast was supposedly located on Vandenburg AFB (this corresponds to Montauk AF Station's position on the East Coast-JQ). My Native contacts tell me that was "sealed" a few years ago, because of plans of the covert government to use it for their own purposes, and a couple of their people very narrowly escaped being very mundanely killed by some of these folks. Interestingly, my contacts in the Native community are currently based in Ojai, in their ancestral power spot, one of the places you mentioned. I have found from my investigations that there is a string of these "gates" up the West Coast. And nuclear power plants and military installations are not idly cited. The San Onofre power plant south of Los Angeles is said to be atop a Spirit Gate. There is reputed to be one at Pt. Mugu (CONFIRMED site of extensive underground facilities at the Naval Air Station there-JQ). Ditto Pt. Conception/Vandenburg; Diablo Canyon. Moving up the coast, we next have Esalen, a "Haunted Spot" near the Carmel Mission, Haunted Meadow on the UC Santa Cruz campus, Marin Headlands, definitely Bodega Head (Sonoma county), where they tried to put a nuclear power plant but encountered too much legal opposition, then Fort Ross, north of the Russian River (not far from the notorious Bohemian Grove; reliably reported as a site of much covert NWO government/psy-ops/ritual-sex-abuse malfeasance-JQ). These are the ones I have heard of. And only those directly on the coast. I have heard of others inland, such as Carissa Plains in San Luis Obispo County. I didn't discuss this much in the past, since I've noticed that every time I said too much, I ended up with hot and cold running spooks in my life. But that works two ways---it confirmed that I was onto things that were real. The more I turn up, the bigger and more unnerving this gets, and the more puzzle pieces drop into place. I've also noticed that the NWO types seem to have a BIG stake in controlling the Native American community, and can only ask *WHY.* WHY use and subvert their spiritual leaders? Why try to kill or discredit others? The answer is that they have something the NWO wants, but what? Whatever it is, you can bet that the NWO wants to use it for power and control, because that's the only bottom line for them.

The bill, the Omnibus Appropriations Act, negotiated behind closed doors by a handful of individuals representing Congressional leadership and the White House, is swollen with so much rotten pork and dirty back room deals that even veteran Washington pundits are holding their noses. Stuffed to the gills with election-year goodies at the expense of initiatives desperately needed by working America - health care reform, job training, a minimum wage increase - the Omnibus bill whistles corporate America's favorite tune. The bill teems with rebates for oil companies, extended tax breaks for millionaires who own foreign companies, and $50 million for "war and revolution insurance" for corporations that throw American workers out on the street and move their factories to unstable third world countries. Congressional leaders even remembered old friends, setting aside $2 million to start a Robert J. Dole Institute for Public Policy. Seeking consolation in the 100,000 new teachers that Clinton insisted on provides little comfort. The budget deal only pays for 30,000, while the other 70,000 are part of Clinton's education "initiative," with no money set aside. Due to its enormous size, equaling one-third of the entire federal budget, the Omnibus Appropriations Act contained many important programs. The funds included in this bill will ensure that roads are built, seniors get their medical prescription rebates, and family farms are saved. But that's the trick. In order to get controversial measures passed that could not survive in the light of day, the leadership coupled them with vital funding measures, and therefore ensured passage of their favorite corporate welfare programs and pork projects. Moreover, Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton took the opportunity to attach several pieces of legislation that had been voted down on the House floor, including $18 billion in funding for the IMF. While this may shock those with a refined sense of democratic process, Gingrich and Clinton couldn't be happier with the latest budget deal. Setting aside their occasional disagreements over infidelity and abortion, this marriage is based on philosophical agreement on most major issues, ranging from economics and trade to defense priorities. Our President and Speaker of the House come to the altar under a pro-business, pro-defense, pro-free trade canopy. Life at the bargaining table is marital bliss when parties agree on 90% of issues, with no chance of divorce anytime in the foreseeable future. Let's look at their latest pride-and-joy. Our illustrious couple added $9.1 billion to an already bloated $280 billion Pentagon budget, which represents the largest peacetime military spending increase since the days of Ronald Reagan's Cold War. Congressional leaders demanded $96 million in "drug-interdiction" funding to aid the Colombian government in purchasing six Black Hawk Helicopters to curtail Marxist guerrilla movements. The Republicans insisted on earmarking funding for their defense contractor friends, but refused to raise military pension benefits in order to help veterans desperately in need. They also added $1 billion to the useless $50 billion Star Wars program. Each of the last five attempts to shoot missiles out of the sky has failed, and the Department of Defense will tell you why. According to Gen. Henry Shelton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "putting more money into [Ballistic Missile Defense] won't produce a product any sooner ... money will not help solve the engineering and integration challenges that are being faced." Worst of all, the leadership of both parties poured $18 billion of US taxpayers' funds down the International Monetary Fund (IMF) blackhole. The IMF has become the prime architect and enforcer of corporate globalism.

[CTRL] Hmmmmm. Texas Shooter A Right-Winger...Go Figure!
-Caveat Lector- Fort Worth, Texas gunman linked to fascist group By Martin McLaughlin 22 September 1999 Use this version to print The gunman who murdered seven people at a Fort Worth church September 15 had ties to extreme-right-wing groups in Texas, according to reports first published in the Houston Chronicle. Larry Ashbrook, 47, killed four teenagers and three adults before taking his own life. Writer John Craig is co-author of a 1997 book, Soldiers of God, which examines white supremacist and Christian fascist organizations in America. He told the newspaper that he had spoken to Ashbrook in 1997 while interviewing members of the Ku Klux Klan for the book. Ashbrook told him he was a member of the "Phineas Priests," one of the far-right tendencies which are collectively known as "Christian Identity." The Phineas sect is named after a Biblical high priest who murdered a Jewish prince for taking a non-Jewish lover. Its membership consists of self-appointed "race warriors" who pledge to kill Jews, racial minorities, gays, abortion providers and whites who marry across racial or religious lines. The fascist gunman Buford Furrow, who attacked a Jewish community center in Los Angeles last month and later murdered an Asian-American postal worker, was also associated with the Phineas Priests. Craig suggested that Ashbrook may have targeted the Westbrook Baptist Church for violence because the Southern Baptist Convention, to which Westbrook is affiliated, recently announced a campaign to convert Jews to Christianity. While this campaign was criticized by Jewish groups, the announcement was denounced by violent anti-Semitic elements as well. "To a Phineas priest or white supremacist that is the ultimate blasphemy," Craig said, "because they believe that they are the children of Israel." According to the Klanwatch Project, which monitors ultra-right-wing activity, the Phineas Priests are not so much an organized group as a title assumed by individual terrorists who operate like the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh, or Benjamin Smith, who went on a shooting rampage against Jews, blacks and Asians in Illinois and Indiana over the July 4 weekend. "To become a Phineas Priest means to commit armed robbery, arson, sabotage, kidnapping and murder," a spokesman for Klanwatch said. "It is a commitment to a holy war." In 1997 four men calling themselves Phineas Priests were convicted in Spokane, Washington of a series of bombings and bank robberies during the previous year, including bomb attacks on the offices of Planned Parenthood and the Spokesman-Review, the Spokane daily newspaper. Three were sentenced to life in prison and one to a term of 55 years. Craig said he had notified the FBI after his interview with Ashbrook and other supporters of right-wing terrorism in 1997, and that he called the Fort Worth police department "repeatedly" in the days after the Westbrook killings, but neither agency has shown any interest in evidence that right-wing politics may underlie the massacre. FBI officials said they had no plans to pursue Craig's story and Fort Worth police spokesman David Ellis was unaware Craig had even called the department. Another city spokesman dismissed interest in this aspect of the case, indicating that with Ashbrook's suicide, there was no point in looking into his background. "We're not doing a biography on this subject," he said. There is no question that Ashbrook was a deeply disturbed individual, likely a schizophrenic, from descriptions of his behavior by neighbors. The unemployed Navy veteran lived at home with his elderly parents and was socially isolated after their deathshis mother in 1990, his father two months ago. His conduct was increasingly erratic, and included agitated letters to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and even a visit to the newspaper's office, where he met the city editor, as well as a telephone conversation with a writer at the alternative FW Weekly in which he claimed, "My life has been destroyed by these peopleAir Force personnel, Tarrant County sheriff's deputies, the Klan." The fact of his derangement does not, however, render irrelevant the political connections which he seems to have formed during the last years of his life, and which certainly contributed to the homicidal form of his mental breakdown. Despite the report in the Houston Chronicle, later amplified by the Los Angeles Times and Reuters news agency, the fascist connections of the Fort Worth gunman have been generally ignored by the mass media, including the television networks and the New York Times. Instead, there has been an effort to utilize the Fort Worth tragedy to win sympathy for Christian fundamentalist groups and portray them as the target of hate crimesthe slant taken by both weekly newsmagazines Time and Newsweek. While Time quotes the Reverend Jerry Falwell declaring that Christian fundamentalists are under siege in America, it appears that the deranged gunman was motivated by

The report makes grim predictions about crises and threats at home and abroad. The commission, headed by former Sens. Gary Hart and Warren B. Rudman, warns in the 143-page report that the country "will be vulnerable to an increasing range of threats against American forces and citizens overseas, as well as at home," from terrorists or rogue states. "While conventional conflicts will still be possible, the most serious threat to our security may consist of unannounced attacks on American cities" by terrorist groups using germ warfare, said a summary of the report. "Another may be well-planned cyber-attack on the air traffic control system on the East Coast of the United States as some 200 commercial aircraft are trying to land safely in a morning's rain and fog." snip This is all propaganda as far as I'm concerned.

[CTRL] JIM KEITH WAS NOT ALONE NITRO NEWS EXCLUSIVE
-Caveat Lector- Nitro News is back. http://www.nitronews.com/ http://www.nitronews.com/specials.html JIM KEITH WAS NOT ALONE NITRO NEWS EXCLUSIVE 48 hours after Nitro News published Jim Keith's shock article on Princess Diana's supposed pregnancy, he passed away at age 50 from a blood clot, and our servers crashed. It was only yesterday that we managed to fix the technical glitch. And soon afterwards, we accessed the famed author's Nitro Mail account, which we had set up for him. We discovered that Keith had received a wealth of eye-opening information about the Diana case, just hours before his untimely death. According to his sources, Jim was not alone in his belief that the Princess of Wales was pregnant. Members of the German media uncovered evidence in late 1997 to support the stunning claim, although the story was never published outside the country. But perhaps Diana herself provided the answer when she once wore the number "492" on her baseball hat during a secret visit to a London hospital. This number is the top line of the kabbalistic magic square for Saturn. The mysterious square is used in Islamic tradition as a sigil to aid women after childbirth. Other individuals may have known of her pregnancy too, but they have since disappeared. On the evening of their deaths, Diana and Dodi were planning to dine at the Chez Benoit restaurant with representatives of Tomasso Buti, a Miami-based Italian bussinessman and founder of the Fashion Cafe. Since that time, Buti has vanished. And in Britain, two mentors of Prince Charles, Michael Bentine and Laurens van der Post, died within days of each other. Both had backgrounds with British intelligence. According to documentation, Dodi was aware of the dangers of leaving the Ritz well after midnight. In fact, he spoke to his father over the phone about serious security concerns. Ex-MI6 spy Richard Tomlinson, in exclusive comments to Nitro News, admits that the Ritz was riddled with British intelligence officers that night - a fact that may have made Diana uncomfortable. The Princess of Wales was a close friend of Lucia Flecha de Lima, the wife of the then ambassador from Brazil to the United States. Interestingly enough, the slip road that leads off the Cours Albert-Premier just before the entry to the deadly tunnel leads to the Brazilian embassy. Keith's sources suggest that Diana and Dodi may have been headed to that embassy to escape trouble from MI6. Since ex-spy Tomlinson exposed MI6's presence in the Diana case, he has been on the run: "MI6 have been harassing me relentlessly for the past two years," he told Editor Charles MacLaurin. "They have illegally banned me from entering France, even though I have a UK passport, and they have also used their influence in Australia to stop me getting a visa there." There's no doubt that a pregnant Diana by Dodi would have been a huge embarrassment to the British Establishment. But was it a large enough embarrassment to murder them both? If Jim Keith had lived to write another chapter in this tragic case, his answer may well have been yes. Mass Control - Jim Keith's Final Book Here stands the New Man. His conception of reality is a dance of electronic images fired into his forebrain, a gossamer construction of his masters, designed so that he will not perceive the actual. His happiness is delivered to him through a tube or an electronic connection. His God lurks behind an electronic curtain - when the curtain is pulled away we find the CIA sorcerer, the media manipulator. The late Jim Keith, famed Nitro News columnist and America's most beloved conspiracy writer, has written his final and greatest chapter. There has never been a book which so carefully and thoroughly exposes the secret plans to dominate world consciousness, and to put the reins of control in the hands of a few. In the pages of this remarkable book, we see exposed for the first time a century of corruption, and the strange pieces of the puzzle finally put into place. Completed shortly before his untimely death, this book is a triumphant completion of Keith's life goal - to make sense of the terrifying, hidden history of world control.

"Officials said the FBI will add more agents and other investigative resources in an attempt to jump-start the probe," the paper's Bob Drogin reports. FBI Director Freeh appeared Wednesday in closed-door briefings on The Hill. Drogin reports: "One official who attended a briefing said the original allegation -- that a Chinese spy had penetrated Los Alamos and stolen W-88 secrets for Beijing -- has effectively evaporated." "I think they're basically saying: 'Perhaps this never happened,'" the official tells the paper. "It's like a deer caught in the headlights," the official said of the FBI. "They don't know whether to go forward or backward." The "FBI wasn't initially aware that so many people in so many places had access to W-88 secrets" says the TIMES. Developing...

"This is one of the most irresponsible things to ever come out of Hollywood!" charged a lawmaker on the Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem. "Why is NBC doing this? There are going to end up scaring people into a complete panic. Shame, shame, shame on them!" On Wednesday NBC announced plans to air Y2K on November 21, in what is being described as a "Sweeps Event." "As the millenium dawns in North America, most of the Eastern Seaboard suffers a major power outage," NBC said in a press release. "But the worst is yet to come. Nick [a complex systems failure expert consulting the government played by actor Ken Olin] must stay ahead of the unpredictable Y2K bug as it spreads across the United States threatening everyone, including his own family on the West Coast." In NBC's Y2K, the computer bug causes widespread ATM failures -- a plot twist that has one U.S. Senator concerned about real-life bank runs! "After people see this movie, they could get the idea in their head and rush to the bank to get money out -- this could trigger cash problems," said the Senator, who asked not to be identified.

The results show that the Timorese people reject the special autonomy offered by the Indonesian government and have chosen to be a free nation. The Timorese struggle to be a free nation have gone on for many centuries against Portuguese colonialism and then against the militaristic Indonesian government. They have paid a high price, both physically and materially to wage that struggle. The Indonesian military invasion since 1975 has cost more than 200,000 lives and led to many human rights abuses including beatings and rapes. The international community's response to the military acts of Indonesia depended on the Cold War interests of each country at the time. After the ballot was completed and a series massacres of pro-independence forces, UN staff and journalists by pro-integration militia members (supported by Indonesian military and police) commenced, the international community has again taken a position on the issue of East Timor. In this case, the international community has condemned the Indonesian government who are thought of as no longer able to provide security in the territory. Condemnation and international pressure has come from Australia from its government and through the call for bans on Indonesian products by Australian trade unions. In one instance, there was even the incident of flag burning at a demonstration outside an Indonesian consulate. The response to this by several forces was to retaliate and burn the Australian flag and to invade the Australian Embassy in Indonesia. These actions show the low level of understanding of the history of the struggle in East Timor and the shifting of the conflict from the massacres carried out in East Timor to a conflict between two countries. In responding to the situation that has arisen since the ballot in East Timor, the National Front for Indonesian Labour Struggle (FNBPI) hereby express: * Our full support for the results of the ballot in East Timor, as a reflection of the aspirations of the East Timorese to determine their own fate * Our condemnation of the anti democratic acts committed by the pro-autonomy forces of TNI and POLRI (Indonesian police) * Our condemnation of all acts of murder and destruction by TNI and POLRI committed against the innocent civilians of East Timor * Our condemnation of all acts of violence by TNI and POLRI which have driven out the Timorese from their own country The FNPBI therefore demand: * Immediate withdrawal of TNI and POLRI from East Timor * Disbanding of militias which are supported and armed by TNI and POLRI * Formation and entry of international peacekeeping forces into East Timor * That all forces to respect the results of the ballot which is a reflection of the aspirations of the Timorese * End to all support given by the Indonesian government to the militias * End to the sending of Indonesian security forces to East Timor We declare our full support for all the solidarity actions and strikes conducted by trade unions worldwide.

What is Political Intelligence? Political intelligence is information collected by the government about individuals and groups. Files secure under the Freedom of Information Act disclose that government officials have long been interested in all forms of data. Information gathered by government agents ranges from the most personal data about sexual liaisons and preferences to estimates of the strength of groups opposing U.S. policies. Over the years, groups and individuals have developed various ways of limiting the collection of information and preventing such intelligence gathering from harming their work. Do I have to talk to the FBI? No. The FBI does not have the authority to make anyone answer questions (other than name and address [see errata]), to permit a search without a warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with an investigation. Agents are usually lawyers, and they are always trained as investigators; they have learned the power of persuasion, the ability to make a person feel scared, guilty, or impolite for refusing their requests for information. So remember, they have no legal authority to force people to do anything -- unless they have obtained an arrest or search warrant. Even when agents do have warrants, you still don't have to answer their question. Under what laws do the agents operate? In 1976, FBI guidelines regulating the investigation of political activities were issued by Attorney General Edward H. Levi. Criticized by liberals and conservatives alike, the guidelines were issued in the wake of a Congressional committee's report of highly questionable activities by the FBI: monitoring the activities of domestic political groups seeking to effect change. The report exposed the FBI's counter-intelligence program (COINTELPRO) under which the agency infiltrated groups, compiled dossiers on, and directly interfered with individuals engaged in activities protected by the First Amendment rights to freedom of expression and association. The FBI COINTELPRO program was initiated in 1956. Its purpose, as described later by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, was "to expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize activities" of those individuals and organizations whose ideas or goals he opposed. Tactics included: falsely labelling individuals as informants; infiltrating groups with persons instructed to disrupt the group; sending anonymous or forged letters designed to promote strife between groups; initiating politically motivated IRS investigations; carrying out burglaries of offices and unlawful wiretaps; and disseminating to other government agencies and to the media unlawfully obtained derogatory information on individuals and groups. In 1983, Attorney General William French Smith issued superseding guidelines that authorized "domestic security/ terrorism" investigations against political organizations whenever the FBI had a reasonable belief that these groups might violate a law. The new guidelines permitted the same intrusive techniques the FBI used against organized crime. The Smith guidelines were justified by the Attorney General's observation that "our citizens are no less threatened by groups which engage in criminal violence for political... purposes that by those which operate lawlessly for financial gain." He concluded: "we must ensure that criminal intelligence resources that have been brought to bear so effectively in organized
