FBI Veteran Heads China Spy Probe

By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN
.c The Associated Press


WASHINGTON (AP) - A 21-year FBI veteran with a background in
counterintelligence is taking over the task force conducting the bureau's
newly broadened investigation into the alleged Chinese theft of nuclear
weapons secrets.

The FBI announced Tuesday that Stephen W. Dillard, currently head of its
Jackson, Miss., office, has been named inspector in charge of the task force,
a job he took over Monday. The bureau is still deciding how many agents are
needed for the probe of whether data about the miniature W-88 warhead and
other weapons was taken from U.S. nuclear laboratories.

China has rejected any allegations of espionage.

Dillard, who has a law degree from Mississippi College School of Law, has
served in the FBI's national security division at headquarters where he
managed all foreign counterintelligence and counterespionage operations as
chief of the global section. He also has served as assistant chief of the
counterterrorism section, unit chief of the Russian section and unit chief of
the counterterrorism section of that division. He also previously worked in
the Kansas City, Washington and Salt Lake City field offices.

The FBI broadened its investigation last week, after focusing for nearly four
years on a scientist at the Los Alamos nuclear weapons lab in New Mexico.

Attorney General Janet Reno said the expansion ``is in response to questions
that have been raised in terms of new evidence. I think there may have been
new facts brought to the attention of the FBI.''

Several outside panels have criticized the original probe for concentrating
exclusively on Los Alamos and pointed out that many other government and
industry people - more than the FBI originally realized - had access to the
information that may have been taken.

Technical information about the miniature W-88 warhead ``had been widely
available'' from numerous places in government and among private contractors
``and could have come from many organizations other than the weapons labs,''
a panel of the president's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board concluded in a
report in June.

A government official said the FBI will put more resources into the
investigation and expand it beyond the Los Alamos laboratory, where the
bureau's attention has been concentrated since early 1996.

More serious consideration will be given to other agencies or individuals as
possible sources of the technical information that China is believed to have
obtained in the 1980s, said the official, speaking on condition of not being
further identified.

Nevertheless, a former Los Alamos computer scientist, Wen Ho Lee, who was
fired in March for violating security rules, remains a suspect in the FBI's
investigation, said another official, also speaking on condition of
anonymity.

Although not charged with a crime, he has been the prime - some say virtually
only - target the FBI has pursued in the nearly four-year investigation.

Lee, a Taiwan-born computer scientist who worked with the top-secret weapons
design team at Los Alamos since the late 1970s, has denied giving any secrets
to China and has accused the government of singling him out because he is
Chinese-American.

Government sources familiar with the investigation have expressed doubt that
an espionage case can be made against him, although prosecution on lesser
security violations has not been ruled out.

Germany Expels 3 CIA Agents

MUNICH, Germany (AP) - Public television reported Tuesday that three CIA
spies had been uncovered in Munich and forced to leave the country.

The German government promised Washington it would keep the affair quiet,
even agreeing not to officially expel the three, but allowing them to be
ordered home by the U.S. government, ZDF public television said in a news
release about its report, which is to air Wednesday night.

The U.S. Embassy in Berlin declined to comment on the report. Domestic
intelligence officials in Munich also refused to comment. In Washington, CIA
officials could not be reached, and a State Department official said he had
heard nothing about it.

ZDF did not say what the three were allegedly working on in Germany.

This was the second time that a CIA agent had been uncovered and expelled
from postwar Germany, the report said.

In March 1997, the German Economics Ministry confirmed that a U.S. diplomat
tried to recruit one of its department chiefs to spy for Washington. Media
reports at the time said the Americans were chiefly interested in getting a
list of German companies that delivered high-technology supplies to Iran.

A newsmagazine, Der Spiegel, estimated then that 100 U.S. intelligence agents
were operating undercover in Germany.

[CTRL] Saint Ferdinand -- Marcos!

1999-09-29 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

 No coincidence the Catholic prelate of the Philippines is named
"Cardinal Sin."


Philippine Cult Worships Marcos

By JIM GOMEZ
.c The Associated Press

ABRA, Philippines (AP) - A picture of the ``Sacred Heart of Jesus'' in a
Philippine chapel has the familiar features, including the heart ringed by a
crown of thorns. But there's one startling difference - the face is that of
the late Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos.

Although vilified by many as a ruthless dictator, Marcos is worshipped by
hundreds of cult followers in the mountains of Abra province, about 200 miles
north of Manila.

``We regard him as a saint,'' said cult leader Rodolfo Cabusao, a 51-year-old
former tailor.

Wearing white cassocks, cult members - mostly impoverished peasants - sing
prayers in a thatch-roofed chapel adorned with portraits of Marcos along with
traditional religious figures.

Their behavior is in sharp contrast to the thousands of people nationwide who
held pro-democracy rallies last week on the anniversary of Marcos' imposition
of martial rule 27 years ago. They burned an effigy of the late president's
widow, Imelda, near the presidential palace.

Cabusao says cult followers do not want to be dragged into the political
conflict surrounding Marcos. Instead, cult life is focused around a
self-sustaining mountain retreat where members grow rice and vegetables on a
sprawling farm and raise money by selling orchids.

The group began as one of several small nationalist cults, collectively
called the Rizalian Brotherhood, which have long venerated Philippine
national hero Jose Rizal as a reincarnation of Christ.

It began worshipping Marcos soon after the former dictator died in September
1989, when Cubasao says Marcos appeared to him in an apparition and
proclaimed himself God's disciple.

Cabusao maintains he has found Bible passages to support the claim and says
Marcos also fits the description of the government leader cult founders
prophesied would deliver God's promises of love and prosperity to millions of
Filipinos.

``We worship him. We believe the crimes he's been accused of were not really
committed by him, but by his men,'' said Saniata Guarin, Cabusao's sister and
head of an Abra elementary school.

Marcos was driven from power in 1986 by an army-backed ``people power''
revolt that ended his 20-year rule and sent him into exile in Hawaii, where
he died three years later.

Succeeding governments have accused the Marcoses and their associates of
human rights abuses and of plundering billions of dollars.

The Philippines is Asia's only predominantly Roman Catholic nation.

Philippine anthropologist Landa Jocano says the emergence of cults
worshipping Rizal, and now Marcos, are rooted in the Philippines' struggle
against Spain, which colonized the archipelago from 1565 to 1898.

As Filipino guerrillas revolted against Spanish colonial rule in the late
1800s, some nationalist Filipino priests broke off from the Spanish-led
Catholic church and established their own independent church, imbuing it with
nationalism.

Abra's Catholic bishop, Artemio Rillera, said he was unaware of the cult but
said he would look into its activities and try to persuade its followers ``to
practice the right manner of worshipping God.''

``If they claim that a human person is God, that's idolatry, that's false,''
Rillera said.

During worship services, cult members in Abra flank their altars with large
Philippine flags. When they pray, they raise their right hand to their chest
- a sign of respect for the flag - instead of making the sign of the cross.

[CTRL] China Has No Interest in Panama Canal, says Clinton

1999-09-29 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

 --who also said "I did not have 'sex' with 'that woman.'"  "TRUST me ..."


China Said Uninterested in Panama

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Clinton administration sees nothing to indicate that
the Chinese have any desire to control the Panama Canal, a Pentagon spokesman
said Tuesday in response to congressional concern about a Hong Kong-based
company's management of canal ports.

``It's an issue within the Panamanian government's control and one that we
look at and do not consider to be a security issue or a security threat to
the United States at all,'' Adm. Craig Quigley said at a Pentagon news
conference.

Panamanian officials also have dismissed fears that the 20-year arrangement
with Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. will give China control over the waterway after
the United States gives up the canal at the end of the year.

The company will manage access to ports at both the Pacific and Atlantic
entrances to the canal.

Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., has sent a letter to President
Clinton raising concern about the matter and to the Senate Armed Services
Committee calling for hearings, now planned next month.

``We have nothing to indicate that the Chinese have the slightest desire to
somehow control the Panama Canal,'' Quigley said. ``And we don't consider
this a security issue at all. Is it a business issue.''

Quigley said it is an issue within the Panamanian government and involves a
deal with ``a well-established businessman.''

[CTRL] Church vs. State (Supreme Court)

1999-09-29 Thread Das GOAT

 -Caveat Lector-

 The trouble with allowing SOME --primarily the Fundamentalist "Moral
Majority-- to override the separation of church and state in America is that
this opens the door for the "religionization" of politics by OTHERS TOO --
and some groups, such as the Catholic Church, have not only bigger financial
clout but an INTERNATIONAL power base ...
 The cry of "anti-Catholicism!" is slowly becoming as strident as
"anti-Semitism!"

 I bet those who are nostalgic for the "good old days" of the '50s, when
paranoid anti-Communism justified a National Security State run by fascist
generalissimos, are just as nostalgic for a return to censorship of the mass
media by the Catholic Church, the de facto guardian of "public morals" in
America during the same period ...


Cardinal Questions Court Choices

BOSTON (AP) - Cardinal Bernard Law has raised objections to two of Gov. Paul
Cellucci's nominees for the state's highest court, saying the two women are
open to charges of anti-Catholicism.

Law told the governor in a letter last week that past actions by Supreme
Judicial Court Justice Margaret Marshall and Superior Court Judge Judith
Cowin showed ``an attitude and mentality, which I find troubling.'' He cited
examples involving a gay rights case and a prominent opponent of abortion.

``I fear that in both these nominees there has been evidenced a certain
mindset which at times is open to the serious charge of anti-Catholicism,''
Law wrote.

Marshall has been nominated for promotion from associate justice to chief
justice on the Supreme Judicial Court, the state's highest court. Cowin has
been nominated to fill a vacancy on the court.

Marshall's nomination will be taken up by the Governor's Council on Wednesday
and Cowin's in the next few weeks. The eight-member council, an elected body,
has the power to confirm or deny gubernatorial appointments.

Cellucci today said that Law's concerns were serious ones and he would have
his legal counsel look into them again. He said the nominations had
previously been reviewed, particularly that of Marshall's, and the charges
were found to be baseless.

``There's not a biased bone in her body,'' he said of Marshall.

In Cowin's case, Law cited a complaint referred to a council member from a
lawyer who said she displayed anti-Catholic bias in a 1997 case involving
church-run Carney Hospital.

A jury had had found that the hospital fired a worker because administrators
thought he was gay, and awarded him $1.2 million. The complaint said Cowin
increased the amount of the award, citing problems ``inherent in suing a
respected Boston charitable institution ... (and) the strength of the
Catholic Church.''

Law's concern about Marshall stems from a letter she wrote while general
counsel at Harvard University to Mary Ann Glendon, a Harvard law professor
and leading Catholic intellectual who is an antiabortion advocate. He gave no
details.

The Boston Globe said the two women and Law were all unavailable for comment
or did not return calls seeking comment.


Cardinal Condemns "Sacrilegious" Virgin Painting

By BETH J. HARPAZ
.c The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) - Cardinal John O'Connor on Sunday asked Catholics to join him
in condemning a painting of the Virgin Mary embellished with a clump of
elephant dung, while civil rights activists defended the Brooklyn Museum of
Art's right to show the piece.

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, meanwhile, reiterated his pledge to cut all $7
million of city funding to the museum - one-third of its budget - unless the
painting is pulled from an exhibit scheduled to open Friday.

``I'm saddened by what appears to be an attack not only on our blessed mother
... but one must ask if it is not an attack on religion itself and in a
special way on the Catholic Church,'' said O'Connor in his weekly sermon at
St. Patrick's Cathedral.

O'Connor did not name the mayor, but said he was ``grateful to city
officials,'' adding: ``It is their right, if not their duty, to express
themselves on such matters.''

O'Connor urged his listeners to write to the museum: ``You might want to
express your deep sadness at this disrespect.''

But New York Civil Liberties Union director Norman Siegel said the mayor's
threats to cut the funding ``violates the First Amendment. His assertion that
New York City can withdraw all funds for the museum based on a single
exhibition that he finds offensive illustrates a serious misunderstanding of
the Constitution.''

Siegel, who discussed the controversy Sunday as a speaker at St. Mary's
Episcopal Church in Harlem, later said by phone that government funding may
not legally be withdrawn because public officials dislike particular works.

``You don't have an obligation to provide funding to the arts but once you
do, you can't defund a museum solely because public officials are displeased
with the expression of the art,'' he said.

The Brooklyn Museum's director, Arnold Lehman, has not publicly said what he
will do, but he has a

Again, LaRouche is right on the money, IMHO, regarding the psy-war strategies

In the Mitrokhin affair, as in the parallel case of Lunev (popular with

enables disinfo experts in our counter-intelligence services
to "leak" alleged "truths" fortuitously serving the CIA's own psy-war goals

UNSUCCESSFULLY (thanks to a wealth of CONTRARY facts from sources NOT easily
debunked as Commie agitprop)
but which might appear more believable now, fallaciously an "argument from
authority."

There can be no "World War III" justified IDEOLOGICALLY --none of the
paranoia and mass-hysteria so dear to out-of-work Cold Warriors in the
military-industrial complex, in right-wing "think tanks," and in other
dead-end niches for aging fascisti, nostalgic for a militarized DOMESTIC
national security apparatus rationalized by "anti-Communism"--
until the American public is convinced that the "Evil Empire" is still alive

foolishly FALLEN for its relentless, all-permeating "subversive" propaganda,
ever since the presidency of "fellow traveller" John F. Kennedy and other
influential "Communist agents" like Martin Luther King, from whom an entire
generation of "Baby Boomers" has imbibed the poisoned mother's milk of
Marxist-Leninism under the cunning disguise of "liberal conscience."
In other words, until these over-the-hill fascisti persuade us that, had not
we not taken a terribly wrong and ideologically misguided turn, we'd still be
living in the "good old days" of Joe McCarthy, Nixon, and J. Edgar Hoover,
and nothing was closer to Heaven on Earth, if only we had recognized it and
had never doubted their authority or motives!

Yes, I'm rhetorically beating a dead horse -- but it looks like that horse,
not white but only whitewashed, is the very same one our putative "saviors"
intend to ride back in on, as the walls close in our free society and the
iron fist of totalitarianism is slammed down on the table of legitimate
dissent.  We'd better trust our government, folks -- OR ELSE.

My only question is, how long before the "retro" hysteria evident in the UK
-- convenient for Blair's more "conservative" successors in the UK, being
groomed for 2000-- emerges in the United States as well -- promoted, no
doubt, by the no doubt inevitable Bush II
administration, which may sweep the neoliberalism of the whole Clinton era
under the same rug as the "Kennedy phenomenon," a whole populace FOOLED by
COMMIES?
How long before the State rewrittes history AGAIN, as it did after the

 Homoeopathic remedies cost nearly nothing to make.
 They aren't patentable.
 They FAR outperform poisonous petrochemical based pharmaceuticals.

Thus if they worked, they'd be ideal products for the generic drug
industry - y'know, the firms that make wait until patents expire,
that pump out zillions of pharmaceutical clones, OTC pain-killers,
the vast bulk of our self-applied remedies.  There's more to the
pharmaceuticals business than just developing and patenting brand-
name drugs.  CibaGeigy may not be interested in selling usable
homeopathic preparations (HPs), but a host of other chemical labs
WOULD be so inclined - IF said HPs were shown to work, and were
marketed to mainstream consumers.

 You could start by discovering that Homoeopathy is one of 4 equally
 respected forms of medicine in India, somewhat ahead of "western"
 medicine.

And life expectancy in India is about 49 years, rather less than in
countries practicing western medicine.  That's the problem with the
old 'medical' traditions - patients tend to die young.  Bother.

 Subject:  WARNING for females... (O-Sh)
 Please  pass on to as many women as possible . . .
 If you use pads, but especially if you use tampons read this and pass
 on to your friends (for the men receiving this email, please forward it
 to your friends, significant others, sisters, mothers, daughters, etc.)
 thanks! Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in tampons?
 Why would they do this? Because asbestos makes you bleed more . . . if
 you bleed more, you're going to need to use more. Why isn't this
 against the law since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that
 be, in all their wisdom(not), did not consider tampons as being
 ingested, and
 therefore wasn't illegal or considered dangerous. This month's Essence
 magazine has a small article about this and they mention two
 manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The companies are Organic
 Essentials @ (800) 765-6491 and Terra Femme @ (800)755-0212. A woman
 getting her Ph.D. at University of Colorado @ Boulder sent the
 following: "I am writing this because women are not being informed
 about the dangers of something most of us use - tampons. I am taking a
 class this month and I have been learning a lot about biology and
 woman, including much about feminine hygiene. Recently we have learned
 that tampons are actually dangerous (for other reasons than TSS). I'll
 tell you this, after learning about this in our class, most of the
 females wound up feeling angry and upset with the tampon industry, and
 I for one, am going to do something about it. To start, I want to
 inform everyone I can, and email is the fastest way that I know how.
 Here is the scoop: Tampons contain two things that are potentially
 harmful: Rayon (for absorbency), and dioxin (a chemical used in
 bleaching the products). The tampon industry is convinced that we, as
 women, need bleached white products - in order to view the product as
 pure and clean. The problem here is that the dioxin produced in this
 bleaching process can lead to very harmful problems for a woman. Dioxin
 is potentially carcinogenic (cancer-associated) and is toxic to the
 immune and reproductive systems. It has also been linked to
 endometriosis and lower sperm counts for men- for both, it breaks down
 the immune system. Last September the Environmental Protection Agency
 (EPA) reported that there really is no set "acceptable" level of
 exposure to dioxin given that it is cumulative and slow to
 disintegrate. The real danger comes from repeated contact (Karen
 Houppert "Pulling the Plug on the Tampon Industry"). I'd say using
 about 4-5 tampons a day, five days a month, for 38 menstruating years
 is "repeated contact", wouldn't you? Rayon contributes to the danger of
 tampons and dioxin because its a highly absorbent substance. Therefore,
 when fibers from the tampons are left behind in the vagina (as it
 usually occurs), it creates a breeding ground for the dioxin. It also
 stays in a lot longer than it would with just cotton tampons. This is
 also the reason why TSS (toxic shock syndrome) occurs. WHAT ARE THE
 ALTERNATIVES? Using feminine hygiene products that aren't bleached and
 that are all cotton. Other feminine hygiene products (pads/napkins)
 contain dioxin as well, but they are not nearly as dangerous since they
 are not in direct contact with the vagina. The pads/napkins need to
 stop being bleached, but obviously tampons are the most dangerous. So,
 what can you do if you can't give up using tampons? Use tampons, that
 are made from 100% cotton, and that are UNBLEACHED. Unfortunately,
 there are very, very few companies that make these safe tampons. They
 are usually only found in health food stores. Countries all over the
 world (Sweden, Germany, British Columbia, etc.) have demanded a switch
 to this safer tampon, while the US.

Howdy, Can you expand on that statement?

The United Kingdom was split in two by a civil war (led by the Prophets) as
soon as David died and his son Solomon became king, claiming the Judean
throne primarily by eliminating his brothers and other claimants next in
line.  Afterwards, raw power politics
of a sort worthy only of a Herod.  Judah under Assyrian rule -- "Messiah"
Hezekiah put forward by the prophet Isaiah, but only ending in disaster.
Judah under Egyptian vs. Babylonian rule -- "Messiah" Josiah put forward by
the prophet Jeremiah, but only ending in disaster.  Judah under Persian rule
-- "Messiah" Joshua put forward by the anonymous prophet known to scholars as
"second Isaiah," a mouthpiece for EZRA,
but only ending in disaster.  Judah under the Seleucids -- a
Hasmonean/Maccabean "Messiah" (the subject of the apoocryphal Book of Daniel)
put forward by the Zadokite
priests who evolved into the"Essenes" of the Qumran Community, but, after
several
generations of corrupt Hasonean/Maccabean power politics, only ending in
disaster,
with the conquest of Judea by Rome under general Pompey the Great.

Next, I'm referring, of course, to "Messiah" Yeshua ben Yusuf, aka Jesus
Christ.

I'm sure that when the anti-government agitation of John the Baptist
(believed by many at the time to be the expected Messiah) first began causing
problems for King Herod, Rome grew concerned that the fragile puppet-state it
had established in order to keep the Jewish people in subjection to the
Empire was being "destablized" by a "radical" faction among whose goals was
independence of Roman rule.  Messianic hopes --i.e., the outcry for a
"Liberator" (from foreign oppression)-- were high among the populace -- so
high, in fact, that Herod's "public relations" men in the "priestly"
bureaucracy made an effort to convince the populace that Herod HIMSELF was
that expected Messiah.  That didn't fare too well either with Herod's Roman
masters, since they understood full well that the MAIN attribute of any
Messiah was that he spearhead a REVOLT against foreign domination.  So
Herodians shuttled back and forth between Jerusalem to Rome, trying to
convince the Emperor of the "loyalty" (obedience) of their Jewish subjects to
Roman authority and the ultimate security of these puppet-kings' Roman client
State.

So, when the execution of John the Baptist not only failed to quell popular
discontent with Herod's rule --therefore, with ROMAN rule-- but instead led
only to INCREASED agitation by John's disciples (led by the Baptist's protege
Jesus of Nazareth), it was only a matter of time before Rome's "peacekeepers"
would be dispatched to the Holy Land to "restore law and order" (just as had
occurred a litle over a century earlier, when Judea was first conquered by
the Empire) and put down increasing rioting by "armed dissidents" among the
Jewish people.  Rome, like any good Empire, thought first of preserving the
"balance of power" in the global "commonwealth" it ruled and, like any good
Empire, was committed to the "stability" which its fascist puppets guaranteed
in its client-states, which of course provided all the economic resources the
Empire required for the high standard of living enjoyed by Roman citizens
everywhere.  (Sound familiar?)  Rome simply could not permit a kind of
COUNTER-Empire --a RELIGIOUS State to which tens of millions of Jews
throughout the Roman Empire might swear HIGHER allegience-- to come into
being, at a time ironically coinciding with Roma's achievement of total
hegemony in the Near East as well as in Europe.  So, by the logic of
"diplomacy" in ANY Empire, Rome needed to make an example of Judea for daring
to question Roman authority, by destroying the freedom-loving SPIRIT of the
Jews in every possible way -- by publicly "dethroning" the Jews'
"all-powerful" God (by burning the Temple and urinating on the Holy of
Holies), massacring the Jews' more revolutionary religious leaders,
butchering millions of people in a show of Rome's military superiority,
dispersing the Jews in wave after wave of refugees, and forbidding Jews from
ever again setting foot in their own homeland.  Standard "foreign policy,"
for the world's good, no?

So, 2000 years after the crucifixion and reputed resurrection of the "Savior
of mankind," what's changed?  NOTHING.  The "Empire" STILL rules, ABSOLUTELY
-- after only a superficial change of clothing attendant on Constantine's
adoption of the ROMANIZED "Christianity" of Paul as the "official STATE
religion" -- the religion of a State that has never ceased to rule in ungodly
tyrannical fashion, a religion based on "slave morality"

Hello

As some of you know James Keith broke his leg at Burning Man stepping off of
a three foot stage. Thinking it was just a severe sprain he went home and
tried to sleep it off. Realizing the next morning it was more he went to
Washoe Medical and was to be treated for a broken knee. This was to involve
surgery but was delayed to a problem with kidney function.

I spoke with him during the afternoon on Tuesday and he was in good spirits
but worried about the thought of being put under. His quote being "I have
this feeling that if they put me under I'm not coming back"

That night James went in for his surgery and around 8:10 PM a blood clot
released from his leg and I believe went to his lung and he passed away.

James leaves behind two daughters Aerika (13) and Verity (15).

Plans are not finalized for services. But they will be sometime this
weekend.


Thanks again for the order!

Privacy Concerns -
http://www.angelfire.com/biz/privacyconcerns/index.html

To All Concerned With Individual Liberties,

 It should be clear by now that one waives their Constitutional
"Protections" whenever they "voluntarily" utilize government
services for
"Privileges" or "Benefits" in which participation IS NOT mandatory
under
government's Constitutionally granted authority.  This pretty much
explains how government can operate in areas OUTSIDE of its
Constitutional
authority.  There is nothing Unconstitutional about offering you a
program
which you may opt NOT to participate in.

 This also partly explains the income tax issue.  If having a SSN is NOT
mandatory, but voluntary, (Leaving the issue of disclosure aside for now)
then the mere existence of a SSN in your name is evidence of your
agreement to accept the "Privileges" and "Benefits" associated with this
elective program.  Having "volunteered" to participate, you become
obligated to abide by every rule and regulation promulgated by the
involved agencies, i.e. SSA  IRS.  (Don't you suppose that this is how
the IRS can maintain that filing an income tax return is "Voluntary"?)
More importantly, because you are participating "voluntarily" in a NON
Mandatory program, there is no obligation on the agencies part to provide
you with any Constitutional "Protections".  You will find these legal
concepts firmly etched in the LAW when you look in the right places!

 The real problem facing us is that the legal profession has been trained
almost exclusively in administrative law which is 99.% of the law that
is practiced today.  The Constitution is NOT "Dead","Dormant", "Asleep",
or anything else.  It is simply a "tool" that is not being used because no
one has the instruction manual anymore.  What better way to eliminate the
most troublesome freedom document the world has ever known; just don't
show anyone in Law School how to use it while telling your students that
there is no money in Constitutional Law.

Find us an open-minded attorney with an interest in personal liberties and
a desire to set things right, and we can obsolete groups like the NRA
whose officers have apparently fallen victim to the same human frailties
that are plaguing the entire "Patriot" Movement (or more accurately, Lack
of Movement).  It seems that many Publishers who, with good intentions
worked hard to create an "Informative" product, have settled into the
comfort of a "Revenue Stream" from a "Marketable" product and have
forgotten why they got into the Patriot battle to begin with. These
publishers seem to closed-mindedly and steadfastly protect their false or
incomplete notions because the truth will obsolete their products and
their low effort existence.  I call this "The Entity Syndrome".  It occurs
whenever a group of people comes together for a purpose and grows to
become a large unwieldy "Organization".  Like all entities or life forms,
its purpose becomes SURVIVAL and it forgets the original founders purpose
(especially when the organization has employees making six digit incomes.)
 Just like the old adage, "When you're up to your ass in alligators, its
hard to remember your original purpose was to drain the swamp."

 The problem with big organizations is exacerbated by that basic side of
human nature that wants to survive by expending the least amount of
energy.  Thus, the officers settle into the comfort of the organization's
revenue stream instead of solving the problem as the organization's
entrepreneurial founder would have done!!!  It is much easier to argue
about why you are right than it is to go out and do the work required to
rethink, research, and regain a correct conclusion that will actually
solve the problem and MOVE the Movement in a "Forward" direction!!!

 While this is an op-ed of sorts, we are dead serious about possessing the
understanding of the FUNDAMENTALS OF LAW that can actually solve the
Constitutionally based problems that are Dividing those concerned with
"Personal Liberties" instead of Uniting them.  We also do not want to
create any more martyrs than the movement already has created.  No one has
to go to jail or lose all of their property, fighting from an unwinable
position.  But, be aware, this battle can not be fought on a one-on-one
personal basis.  The Constitutional "Cases and Controversies" are there,
just waiting, and believe it or not, so are the Courts. "Waiting for
what?" you ask.  Consider this quotation from the Courts concerning the
"Function of the People" in our system of government.

 "It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from
falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the
government from falling into error."

AIR VICE-MARSHAL DAVID DICK

Air Vice Marshal David Dick, CB, CBE, AFC,

Commandant of the Aeroplane and Armaments Experimental Establishments
Boscombe Down, 1974-75, died on August 3 aged 75.
He was born on January 7, 1924.

AS A test pilot at the RAF's famous test flying establishment at Boscombe
Down in Wiltshire in the 1950s, David Dick narrowly escaped with his life
while test-flying a Gloster Javelin high above the South coast. Britain's
first operational delta-winged jet aircraft and the first twin engined
Delta aircraft in the world, the Javelin had been hailed as "the Flying
Dart" when it made its first flight, late in 1951.

It was also the RAF's first specifically designated "all-weather" jet
fighter and its success was regarded as vital in giving the country safety
against enemy intruders by day and night.

But, like many of the aircraft which were built as fighter designs for the
RAF in the transonic period of the early 1950s, (the Supermarine Swift for
example was a complete failure) the Javelin continued to confront its
pilots with fiendish problems even after it had entered squadron service.
The delta wing itself posed many aerodynamic conundrums. Early flights
suffered from control surface vibrations and violent buffeting.

The pilot of the prototype, Squadron Leader Waterton, had lost both
elevators owing to violent flutter in 1952. but had managed to land the
aircraft. His deputy at Glosters was not so lucky and had been killed when
the third prototype crashed to earth in what was supposed to be a
"stabilised stall". Several other Javelins were lost after that, with their
pilots ejecting to safety.

By the time, therefore, that David Dick took up a production Javelin from
Boscombe Down on a day in 1957, pilots had come to regard the air craft as
a somewhat unpredictable beast. At 40,000ft over the English Channel, his
Javelin went into a flat spin, and thereafter defied all his at tempts to
bring it under control. In spite of deploying all his proven flying skills
as a crack test pilot of Boscombe Down's A Squadron, Dick was simply unable
to stabilise the aircraft or prevent the "angels" unwinding alarmingly on
his altimeter. Eventually, he was forced to eject from the aircraft at
8,000ft, parachuted down to the water and was picked up from the Solent by,
helicopter. Meanwhile, the Javelin crashed spectacularly on the Isle of
Wight - a telegraph pole piercing its fuselage and providing a remarkable
photograph for the press.

Far from any blame being attached to Dick, the incident enhanced his
reputation as a test pilot. His cool handling of

the situation, during which he calmly reported every step on the flight
recorder as his aircraft fell through thousands of feet, won him his Air
Force Cross.

The data he was able to provide enabled some further modifications to be
made to the already much-modified Javelin airframe, while the tape of his
comments was preserved, to form part of a lecture on test flying to the
Royal Aeronautical Society.

Dick's tour of duty in A Squadron (later renamed the Fast Jet Test
Squadron) was the first of three postings to RAF Boscombe Down, reflecting
his reputation not only as a pilot but as a specialist on aircraft
development.

Alan David Dick was born in British India, where his father was both
Principal and Professor of Ophthalmology at the Medical School of the
Punjab in Lahore. At the age of three, Dick was sent back to Britain and
eventually to school at Fettes. But when the Second World War broke out his
parents brought him back to school in Lahore.

An accomplished skier and golfer, he also learnt to fly and on reaching the
age of 18 he volunteered for the RAF and subsequently served in South East
Asia Command, flying first Hurricanes then American-built Thunderbolt
fighter-bombers on missions over the Burmese jungle in support of Slim's
14th Army.

On being demobilised he attended a "crammer" in England to win himself a
place at King's College, Cambridge, to read mechanical engineering. He also
flew with the University Air Squadron and in 1950, deciding against a
civilian career, rejoined the RAF.

After three years as an instructor at the Central Flying School and a
course at the Empire Test Pilots School, Farnborough, he went to Boscombe
Down for the first of his three tours there, as a test pilot, from 1954 to
1957.

He spent the next three years in the new Bloodhound missile base at North
Coates, Lincolnshire, and then commanded 207 Squadron, flying Valiant
bombers as part of Britain's nuclear strike force, at Marham, Norfolk, from
1961 to 1964. He returned to Boscombe Down as Superintendent of
Flying,.1964-68. In 1974 he was back there as commandant. He retired in
1978 as deputy controller of aircraft in the Ministry of Defence's
Procurement Executive.

In retirement Dick worked for five difficult years as secretary of the
British Association of Occupational Therapists. There, one of his tougher
decisions was to close down

  Al Fayed gives up Harrods dividend

BY FRASER NELSON
  RETAIL CORRESPONDENT
  MOHAMED AL FAYED has turned down the chance to
  take money out of Harrods for the first time since he took
  over the Knightsbridge department store in 1994.

  The millionaire businessman, who has extracted £74
  million in dividend payments from Harrods Holdings Plc
  over the past four years, decided against awarding himself
  a dividend for the year to January 1 after writedowns
  forced the company into a loss.

  It made a pre-tax loss of £8.5 million over the year against
  a £53 million profit last time - although gross profits fell
  only slightly to £232 million (£239 million).

  Simon Gettings, Harrods financial controller, said the
  results included all parts of the Harrods empire - including
  Harrods Bank, Harrods Aviation and a variety of
  investments.

  "We have taken a £30.1 million hit because we are a very
  clean company, and have responded to new accounting
  regulations," he said. "They in no way suggest that the
  Harrods store is doing badly or losing money. "

  He added that the store, which generates about 40 per
  cent of its business through selling to tourists, was now
  doing much better trade owing to an influx of affluent
  Americans.

  Harrods has a 28 per cent stake in Alpha Airports, which
  has seen its market value halve over the past 14 months.

   BP is fined £4m over Alaska waste

   BY PAUL ARMSTRONG
  BP AMOCO has been forced to make an embarrassing
  confession and pay penalties totalling $7 million (£4.3
  million) over its disposal of hazardous waste on Alaska's
  North Slope.

  The petroleum group acknowledged that its methods for
  dealing with waste products at the Endicott oilfield
  between 1993 and 1995 were illegal and said it "deeply
  regretted" the move.

  As part of its out-of-court settlement with the US Justice
  Department, BP agreed to a five-year probation and the
  implementation of an environmental management system
  that would be monitored by a court-approved official.

About 45% of Askenazic priests and 56% of Sephardic priests have the

This shows the story of the Askhenazi being descendants of the Khazars
as being incorrect (unless of course the Khazars were one of the lost
ten tribes)

  Khazars may originally have been Edomites (or Hittites).  Khazar
  tradition holds that they originally came from Mt. Seir in Edom.
  The Edomites were the ancient, major enemies of the Jews.  John
  Hyrcanus' army defeated the neighboring Edomites and forced them
  all to *become* Jews (get circumcized or be killed) in 125 BC.
  The Edomites then practically took over Judea.  The name 'Judea'
  was soon changed to 'Idumea' (Edom land).  Their kings were the
  'Jewish' Edomite Herodian dynasty (who built Herod's Temple).
  Many (or most?) Jewish Pharisees (not Saducees) were Edomite Jews.
  The Pharisees took over and put the Saducees out of business.
  The Jewish Encyclopedia says 'Edom is in modern Jewry.'  (Many
  parts of the Bible are devoted to cursing all Edomites to death,
  including the entire Jewish book of Obadiah.  Ban that bad book?)

As an aside, other gentic test appear to show that the Jews are more
closely related to the armenians rather than the semites.

Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan;
thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.


  WHO ARE THE MODERN JEWS?

  By Scott Stinson
  http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/hittites.htm


  In this age of brain-dead media programmed zombies, would it still
  be possible for the facts to speak?  If so, there is something
  worth saying about the modern "Jewish" race, not written by
  anti-semites, but by Jews themselves -- and where else but in
  The Jewish Encyclopedia!  Please excuse me for being so abrupt,
  but I had to get your attention.  You see, this article is worth
  reading because it has some facts that you need to know about the
  authenticity of today's Jewish race.  The question that must be
  asked as well as answered is simple:  Are the modern Jews really
  the descendants of the ancient people of Israel?  The source of
  our information is also quite simple:  The Jewish Encyclopedia.
  Hopefully we will not find any anti-Semitism in the writings of
  these Jewish scholars.  However, the reader should be forewarned.
  Their articles were written long before the age of mass-media
  social engineering and do not contain any of the familiar
  buzz-words common to today's new views.  In other words, brace
  yourself for a factual scientific analysis of the racial origins of
  the modern Jews.  Oh, and should you decide to verify any of these
  facts, you will find them in your local library in the 1901-1905
  edition of The Jewish Encyclopedia.  So, please, do read on.

  At the turn of the last century there was great interest stirring
  in the science of anthropology.  In the wake of this, Jewish
  scholarship turned its watchful eye upon itself and began to
  examine the racial claims that modern Jews make to the ancestral
  heritage of ancient Israel.  The results were startling.  The
  religious community found itself completely alienated by its
  scientific counterpart.  The scientific method was coming face to
  face with religious traditions and there was a great unsettling in
  the land.  The facts were telling a different story than what had
  been heard for centuries in the local synagogue.  In his article on
  Purity of Race, Joseph Jacobs relates something of the dilemma that
  was gripping the Jewish community at this time.  He writes:  "The
  question whether the Jews of today are in the main descended from
  the Jews of Bible times, and from them alone, is still undecided"
  (Jew. Enc. X (1905), 283).  What a startling statement to come from
  a Jewish scholar and to be printed in The Jewish Encyclopedia!
  However, scholarship must have its reasons.  Let us look further to
  see what the scientific community had discovered that would warrant
  such a radical and perplexing statement.

  In his article on Purity of Race, Jacobs gives several important
  facts that were forcing anthropologists of his day to reconsider
  the modern Jew's racial claims to be Biblical Israel.  In the study
  of craniometry which involves the measurements of the skull, the
  evidence was clearly mounting against the modern Jews.  After
  extensive samples were taken from a broad spectrum of Jewish groups
  world-wide.  The conclusion was evident.  Jacobs writes; "They are
  predominantly brachycephalic, or broad-headed, while the Semites

MORE CANADIANS ON HOSPITAL WAITING LISTS IN 1998

The Fraser Institute's annual survey, Waiting Your Turn:
 
Hospital Waiting Lists in Canada, has found that more Canadians

were waiting to receive medical treatment in 1998 than in 1997.
 
Queues for visits to specialists and for diagnostic and surgical 
procedures reflect health care rationing under Canada's national 
health system.

According to the study, 212,990 Canadians were on hospital 
waiting lists for surgical procedures, a 13 percent increase from 
the 1997 estimate of 187,799. Patients were also waiting longer 
to receive treatment:

o Patients waited an average (median) of 6.0 weeks after 
referral by a General Practitioner for a consultation with 
a specialist (see figure
http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/media/media_releases/1999/wyt/chart2.html
).

o Then they waited another 7.3 weeks after the consultation 
to actually receive treatment (see figure
http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/media/media_releases/1999/wyt/chart3.html ).

o The total average waiting time in 1998 was 13.3 weeks -- 
up from 11.9 weeks in 1997, and up a dramatic 43 percent 
since 1993, when the total waiting time for Canadians to 
receive treatment was 9.3 weeks.

The total wait in 1998 varied widely according to where Canadians 
live: from 11.9 weeks in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and 
Nova Scotia, to 20.2 weeks in Saskatchewan.

The survey also measured what specialists consider to be 
clinically reasonable lengths of time to wait for surgical 
procedures. For Canada as a whole, and across all specialties, 
actual waiting time exceeded what specialists consider to be 
reasonable for all specialties except medical oncology. Waiting 
times also increased for various diagnostic technologies such 
computerized tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging 
(MRI) and ultrasound.

[CTRL] Police Can't Require ID [1979 Supreme Court Decision]

1999-09-29 Thread Sean McDougal

 -Caveat Lector-

http://www-douzzer.ai.mit.edu:8080/revolution/legal/police/brownvtx.html

Police Can't Require ID

From Schirado ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
In response to Jeff Chan's horror about the California Supreme Court's
recent idiocy regarding identification, I offer the following federal
Supreme Court case. Federal beats State every time, when the subject matter
is the derogation of rights secured by the Constitution.

Brown v. Texas,443 U.S. 47 (1979): "Two police officers, while cruising near
noon in a patrol car, observed appellant and another man walking away from
one another in an alley in an area that had a high incidence of drug
traffic. They stopped and asked appellant to identify himself and explain
what he was doing. One officer testified that he stopped appellant because
the situation 'looked suspicious and we had never seen that subject in that
area before.' The officers did not claim to suspect appellant of any
specific misconduct, nor did they have any reason to believe that he was
armed. When appellant refused to identify himself, he was arrested for
violation of a Texas statute which makes it a criminal act for a person to
refuse to give his name and address to an officer 'who has lawfully stopped
him and requested the information.' Appellant's motion to set aside
information charging him with violation of the statute on the ground that
the statute violated the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth amendments was
denied, and he was convicted and fined."

"HELD: The application of the Texas statute to detain appellant and require
him to identify himself violated the Fourth Amendment because the officers
lacked any reasonable suspicion to believe that appellant was engaged or had
engaged in criminal conduct. Detaining appellant to require him to identify
himself constituted a seizure of his person subject to the requirement of
the Fourth Amendment that the seizure be 'reasonable.' Cf. Terry v. Ohio,
392 U.S. 1; ... Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648. Here, the state does not
contend that appellant was stopped pursuant to a practice embodying neutral
criteria, and the officer's actions were not justified on the ground that
they had a reasonable suspicion, based on objective facts, that he was
involved in criminal activity. Absent any basis for suspecting appellant of
misconduct, the balance between the public interest in crime prevention and
appellant's right to personal security and privacy tilts in favor of freedom
from police interference.

Pp. 50-53. - Mr. Chief Justice Burger delivered the opinion of the court. -
"This appeal presents the question whether appellant was validly convicted
for refusing to comply with a policeman's demand that he identify himself
pursuant to a provision of the Texas Penal Code which makes it a crime to
refuse such identification on request." - "Appellant refused to identify
himself and angrily asserted that the officers had no right to stop him." -
"The Fourth Amendment, of course, 'applies to all seizures of the person,
including seizures that involve only a brief detention short of traditional
arrest. Davis v. Mississippi, 394 U.S. 721 (1969); Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S.
1, 16-19 (1968). '[W]henever a police officer accosts an individual and
restrains his freedom to walk away, he has 'seized' that person...and the
fourth Amendment requires that the seizure be 'reasonable' U.S. v.
Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S. 873, 878 (1975)" - "We need not decide whether an
individual may be punished for refusing to identify himself in the context
of a lawful investigatory stop which satisfies Fourth Amendment
requirements. See Dunaway v. New York, 442 U.S. 200,210 n.12 (1979); Terry
v. Ohio ... the county judge who convicted appellant was troubled by this

Jurors' Handbook
A Citizens Guide to Jury Duty
Did you know that you qualify for another, much more powerful vote than the
one which you cast on election day? This opportunity comes when you are
selected for jury duty, a position of honor for over 700 years.
The principle of a Common Law Jury or Jury of your Peers was first
established on June 15, 1215 at Runnymede, England when King John signed the
Magna Carta, or Great Charter of our Liberties. It created the basis for our
Constitutional, system of Justice.
Jury Power in the System of Checks and Balances
In a Constitutional system of justice, such as ours, there is a judicial
body with more power than Congress, the President, or even the Supreme
Court. Yes, the jury of your peers protected under our Constitution has more
power than all these government officials. This is because they have the
final veto power over all "acts of the legislature" that may come to be
called "laws."
In fact, the power of jury nullification predates our Constitution. In
November of 1734, a printer named John Peter Zenger was arrested for
seditious libel against his Majesty's government. At that time, a law of the
Colony of New York forbid any publication without prior government approval.
Freedom of the press was not enjoyed by the early colonialists! Zenger,
however, defied this censorship and published articles strongly critical of
New York colonial rule.
When brought to trial in August of 1735, Zenger admitted publishing the
offending articles, but argued that the truth of the facts stated justified
their publication. The judge instructed the jury that truth is not
justification for libel. Rather, truth makes the libel more vicious, for
public unrest is more likely to follow true, rather than false claims of bad
governance. And since the defendant had admitted to the "fact" of
publication, only a question of "law" remained.
Then, as now, the judge said the "issue of law" was for the court to
determine, and he instructed the jury to find the defendant guilty. It took
only ten minutes for the jury to disregard the judge's instructions on the
law and find Zenger NOT GUILTY.
That is the power of the jury at work; the power to decide the issues of law
under which the defendant is charged, as well as the facts. In our system of
checks and balances, the jury is our final check, the people's last safegard
against unjust law and tyranny.
A Jury's Rights, Powers, and Duties
But does the jury's power to veto bad laws exist under our Constitution?
It certainly does! In the February term of 1794, the Supreme Court conducted
a jury trial in the case of the State of Georgia vs. Brailsford (3 Dall 1).
The instructions to the jury in the first jury trial before the Supreme
Court of the United States illustrate the true power of the jury. Chief
Justice John Jay said: "It is presumed, that juries are the best judges of
facts; it is, on the other hand, presumed that courts are the best judges of
law. But still both objects are within your power of decision." (emphasis
added) "...you have a right to take it upon yourselves to judge of both, and
to determine the law as well as the fact in controversy".
So you see, in an American courtroom there are in a sense twelve judges in
attendance, not just one. And they are there with the power to review the
"law" as well as the "facts!" Actually, the "judge" is there to conduct the
proceedings in an orderly fashion and maintain the safety of all parties
involved.
As recently as 1972, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
said that the jury has an "unreviewable and unreversible power... to acquit
in disregard of the instructions on the law given by the trial judge..." (US
vs Dougherty, 473 F 2d 1113, 1139 (1972))
Or as this same truth was stated in a earlier decision by the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of Maryland: "We recognize, as appellants
urge, the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is
contrary to the law as given by the judge, and contrary to the evidence.
This is a power that must exist as long as we adhere to the general verdict
in criminal cases, for the courts cannot search the minds of the jurors to
find the basis upon which they judge. If the jury feels that the law under
which the defendant is accused, is unjust, or that exigent circumstances
justified the actions of the accused, or for any reason which appeals to
their logic of passion, the jury has the power to acquit, and the courts
must abide by that decision." (US vs Moylan, 417 F 2d 1002, 1006 (1969)).
YOU, as a juror armed with the knowledge of the purpose of a jury trial, and
the knowledge of what your Rights, powers, and duties really are, can with
your single vote of not guilty nullify or invalidate any law involved in
that case. Because a jury's guilty decision must be unanimous, it takes only
one vote to effectively nullify a bad "act of the legislature." Your one

Seizing the Media
Asian philosophy instructs enlightenment. But given our daily exposure to a
barrage of persuasive messages, monologues, sales pitches, come-ons, and
uninformative hyper-sensational news, common sense and intimacy are tough
enough a struggle to maintain.
We can each see how extended exposure to television and mass media dulls
people with a sense of numbness and nausea. From every public space a
monologue of coercion penetrates our senses and rapes our attention.
Wherever we look, wherever we listen, wherever we go: the pornography of
billboards, bus side placards, subway cards, glaring storefront signs and
displays, the glut of junk mail, stupid fly-by beach planes and blimps,
coupons, obnoxious bumper stickers and breast pins, embarrassing service
forms, plastic banners and ribbons, absurd parades, street-corner handouts,
windsheild wiper flyers, matchbook ads, business cards, screaming radios,
the daily papers, every nanosecond of television, the package wrapped around
everything we buy - from the label in our underwear to the robot computer
that calls us in our homes - only the upper atmosphere and the ocean floor
offer any sanctuary from America's ecology of coercion. At every turn the
monologues drone on, imbedding the psychological mutagens that coax us to
become pathetic customers and unquestioning flag wavers. At every turn we
are under subtle attack.
The media serve the interests of the State and other corporations, but never
the interests of the public. The media's screen of agression and seduction
is designed to mesmerize and captivate the largest possible sector of
population whose attention is then sold like scrap metal to advertisers and
gang raped by their slogans, jingles, and manic images. Protected by an
uncrossable media moat, agents of the State profit from war and relax behind
a web of information laws, censorship powers, and vapid explanations that
swat the public of detailed intelligence and mass resistance.
So long as we do not control our own government, our own state, and our own
broadcast media - the mirror with which we reflect on the reality of lives -
we will continue to be forced to see fun-house mirror distortions of
ourselves projected onto a dumpster of products that promise to make us each
desirable, sophisticated, and correct. At every turn we are under attack.
Incest Of Corporations And The State
The State controls information, debt, and violence and targets collective
identity. Corporations control commodification, work, and media and target
individual identity. Both deploy the same psychological strategies for
imbedding the public with their messages and directives. Never were their
common strategies more transparent than when US disinformation and
propaganga service, the infamous USIA, decided to step-up its psy-warfare
campaign against the people of Cuba in the Spring of 1989. Until then,
attempts to psychologically destabalize the Cuban people were comcentrated
in the broadcasts of Radio Marti, the Florida based, Government owned pirate
radio station that to this day illegally transmits propaganda and
disinformation into domestic Cuban radios. In the Spring of 1989, the USIA
added images to their psy-war arsenal and began transmitting tele-broadcasts
from a hot air balloon controlled from the Key West signals station. Sibling
of Radio Marti, the project was dubbed TV Marti.
A few things are to be held in mind here. First, after the Creel Commission
saturated Americans with pro-war propaganda during WWI, the level of public
disgust was so intense that laws were enacted forbidding the State from ever
subjecting the public to its propaganda again. Thus, the USIA's Voice of
America propaganda broadcasts that we can hear today in Amsterdam, Berlin,
and Prague, we are protected against hearing here on our own turf.
Propaganda is so disorienting and confusing that Americans have actually
passed laws forbidding it here in its

Title: TRADE: Seed Companies Hauled Into Court

By Mario Osava and Gumisai Mutume

MEXICO CITY (IPS), Sep 24 - Activists from 30 countries have taken
action against the world's biggest life science companies by
taking them to court over the question of genetically-modified
food which, they say, represents an attempt to free agriculture
from the control of a few.

"The action reflects humanity's growing pre-occupation with its
future," says professor Sebastian Pinheiro of the Federal
University of Rio Grande in Brazil. "Genetically-modified crops
represent an economic threat to agriculture and put humanity's
survival at risk."

Spearheading the drive against big business is US biotechnology
activist and head of the Foundation on Economic Trends, Jeremy
Rifkin.  He is leading a campaign that will see activists and
farmers from Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America
challenge the power of the world's most dominant genetic food
engines later this year.

"Transnational companies such as Monsanto and Dupont are not
worried by world hunger or the quality of life of the rest of
humanity. They want power, to dominate the politics of food and
are merely driven by commercial interests," says Pinheiro.

"When the lawsuit gets underway either in the United States or a
foreign court it is billed to become the biggest anti-trust action
in the world with the exception of the Microsoft case."

The activists claim that the likes of Monsanto, DuPont, Pioneer
Hi-Bred, and Novartis are exploiting bio-technology unfairly and
in such a way that they gain control of global agricultural
markets.

Modified crops are protected by patents and contracts. Farmers
who plant them must promise not to keep seeds for future use.

Using new bio-technologies the big corporations are attempting to
extend control to the 45 percent of the world economy that is
based on biological products by using a patent system designed for
machines and making it work with plants and animals, activists
say.

Monsanto, dubbed the "Microsoft of micro-biology", together with
other seed companies also is developing ways to genetically alter
plants so they do not produce usable seeds. This could force
farmers to buy seeds year after year and give these companies
power to dictate the future of plant breeding, activists say.

"A central concern will be that, throughout the history of
civilization, farmers have been able to grow food and sow their
own fields with their own seeds. These companies are trying to
change that," declared US attorney Rich Lewis, one of the many
lawyers involved in the case.

Law firms, operating on a no-win-no-fee basis, are looking for
some provision of anti-trust or contract law that would let Rifkin
challenge the seed restrictions in a state, federal or foreign
court.

Agricultural analysts say that a few big corporations now own 30
percent of the global trade in seed, valued at 23 billion dollars
annually - roughly the gross domestic product of Vietnam.

Five of these companies Monsanto, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Aventis
and DuPont virtually control the entire genetically modified crops
sector, analysts say.

When Monsanto last year bought the seed operations of Cargill in
Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe for 1.4 billion dollars it
gained control of seed research and production centres in 24
countries and distribution systems in more than 50 others.

The law-suit comes at a time when there is growing concern over
the implications of genetically modified crops and resistance from
certain economic blocs such as the European Union towards the
consumption and import of such crops.

Developing countries have adopted differing positions to genetic
crops, some such as Argentina and Mexico embracing the technology
while others especially in Africa hesitant about the safety of the
science.

In India, Vandana Shiva of the Research Foundation for Science
Technology and Ecology (RFSTE) says the anti-trust action would be
a useful addition to local campaigns like the "Monsanto Quit
India" movement which is over a year old. However, by itself the
action would not be able to do more than create awareness among
farmers who are targets of Monsanto and Cargill.

RFTSE is one of several pressure groups that challenged India's
new patent act in the country's supreme court earlier this year.
The act grants monopolies and marketing rights to drug and agro-
chemical transnationals.

Tax Resister Beats IRS

Lloyd L. Long believes that the income tax is voluntary and refuses to pay
it. The IRS took him to court and lost.

As reported by Bill Keller in January 1994 in the Chattanooga, Tennessee
Independence News Opinion, and by Lamarr Hardy in the Boise, Idaho-based
Alert, Long was defended by attorneys Lowell Becraft of Huntsville, Alabama
and Russell J. Leonard of Sewanee, Tennesee.

Long testified that, based on his study of the Internal Revenue Code (Title
26), he believes the income tax is an excise tax applicable only to certain
persons, and not the majority of citizens (including himself). Long says
Internal Revenue Code Sections 1441-1443 applies the income tax only to
nonresident aliens and U.S. citizens living abroad in a country where a tax
treaty exists with the United States.

U.S. Attorney Curtis Collier, representing the Internal Revenue Service,
took a different view. The IRS prosecuted Long for willfully failing to file
tax returns for 1989 and 1990 as "required by law."

Long admitted he had income in excess of $49,000 in each of those years and
that he did not file a return. Alert described the defense's evidence that
he was not required to do so:
Defense testimony showed a case titled Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad
wherein it was the unanimous decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that the
Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution did not give Congress any new power
to tax any new subjects; it merely tried to simplify the way in which the
tax was imposed. The ruling also showed that the income tax was, in fact, an
excise tax on corporate privileges and privileged occupations.

The defense then brought out a case entitled Flint v. Stone Tracy Co.
wherein an excise tax was defined as being a tax laid upon the manufacture,
sale and consumption of commodities within the country; upon licenses to
pursue certain occupations; and upon corporate privileges.

Long's attorneys also brought out a case entitled Simins v. Arehns wherein
the court ruled that the income tax was neither a property tax nor a tax
upon occupations of common right, but was an excise tax.

Next the defense turned to the case of Redfield v. Fisher. In this instance,
the court ruled that an individual, unlike the corporation, cannot be taxed
for the mere privilege of existing, but that the individual's right to live
and own property was a natural right upon which an excise cannot be imposed.
Defense also pointed to several studies done by the Congressional Research
Service showing the income tax is an excise.

A Tennessee Supreme Court case, Jack Cole v. Commissioner, provided the
fifth defense argument. Here, the court ruled that citizens are entitled by
right to income or earnings and that right could not be taxed as a
privilege.
Finally, Long's legal team pointed to another Tennessee Supreme Court case,
Corn v. Fort, in which the court ruled that individuals have a right to
combine their activities as partnerships; and that this is a natural right,
independent and antecedent of government.

The defense presented additional arguments that the IRS knew no one was
liable for the income tax. Other IRS-administered taxes, such as the alcohol
tax, are very clearly worded as to who is liable. The IRS' Mission Statement
states that the income tax relies on "voluntary compliance."

Long had built a paper trail in his defense before the trial. He had written
letters asking the IRS direct questions such as, "Am I required to file
federal income tax returns?" and "Am I liable for federal income taxes?" The
IRS never directly answered Long's questions, at which point Long stopped
filing tax returns.

The jury found Long not guilty on all counts.

The Research Foundation provides information to individuals who want to
challenge the IRS. Write to Lamarr Hardy, Executive Director, The Research
Foundation, POB 29265, Honolulu, HI 96720.

This was Case Number CR-1-03-91, U.S. v. Lloyd Long, filed in U.S. District
Court, Eastern District of Tennessee, October 15, 1993.

[CTRL] Fwd: Global JAM ECHELON Day [Oct. 21]

1999-09-29 Thread Sean McDougal

 -Caveat Lector-

http://www.wodip.opole.pl/~laslo/Echelon-links.html

STAND UP FOR THE FREEDOM TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION!

We the monitored have decided to stand up against the very real, very
intrusive, and ultimately oppressive global surveillance system known as
Echelon. Echelon is a vast mainframe set up by the New World Disorder in
order to monitor the world's electronic communications for subversive
keywords. Every time you send someone an email with keywords like
"revolution" and "hacktivism" [for instance], Echelon's computers make a
note of it. If you forward emails with regularity with words on Echelon's
extensive keyword list, you may be marked for human "hands-on" monitoring.

On October 21, 1999 , netizens around the globe are implored to send out at
least one email with at least 50 keyword words. You need not be privy to
knowing exactly what words Echelon uses. It is safe to assume that words
such as "revolution" and "manifesto" and "revolt" [etc.] will work. Just be
sure to sound as subversive as possible. There isn't even any need to write
a cohesive paragraph or sentence. Echelon's computers does not understand
the language anyway. It only knows to look for certain words. By doing this
we can at least temporarily jam the global surveillance system.

This day of action will be timed to preceed Stop Police Brutality Day by one
day so that emails about actions can be sent out with little scrutiny due to
what will already be an enormous workload for Echelon.

Now is a chance for anyone, regardless of computer expertise, to become an
instant hacktivist - best of all, no software is needed [other than your
regular email program].

Of course, feel free to conduct such subversiveness any time. The larger
Echelon's workload, the more free our speech.

After October 1, we ask global netizens to merely stop censoring themselves
for fear of spooky scrutiny. By merely deciding to speak in the spirit of
unabashedly subverting the DOMINANCE paradigm, we will make it quite
difficult for Echelon to do its job.

Nobody with a brain wanted to go to Vietnam and get killed over a war we

he didn't want to risk his life further than that.  He managed to get
influential friends to get him into the Guard.  That way he looked patriotic

Go to Part I

Copyright 1999 Ian Williams Goddard

After examination of the Waco crime scene, Gordon Novel, an investigator
in the civil suit against the Federal Government for wrongful death,
came to the shocking conclusion that a bomb had been exploded on the top
of the concrete room wherein forty one women and children died. Novel's
conclusion has been corroborated by independent experts, including
Brigadier General Benton Partin.

A primary feature of Novel's bomb theory is the large fireball that
appeared during the fire. When the concrete room is superimposed in its
exact location over the following FBI photograph of the fireball, we can
see that the fireball originated exactly on top of the room.

The large fireball was centered directly over the concrete room.

A circular hole in the roof exposing downward-bowed steel rebar is
consistent with the detonation of a large bomb on top of the roof.


General Partin observes that this is "the kind of hole you get with a
demolition charge. You have concrete in contact or close proximity to
high explosives and the pressure is several hundred times the yield
strength of the concrete, so the concrete in the area of the hole is
turned to dust, and you have ... dynamic gas pressure going down into
the 'bunker' below." The steel rebar was left intact due to its cohesive
strength and its thin curved shape which lacks surface area sufficient
for the blast to do significant work upon.

That explosive force traveled down through the hole in the ceiling into
the room is proven by the following photograph from the court docket
which shows how the lower surface of the concrete ceiling below the
rebar running through it collapsed, falling onto the floor in a circular
pattern centered roughly below the hole in the ceiling.

Superimposed circles denote the circular distribution of small to
increasingly larger debris. This pattern proves that extreme forces
blasted down through the hole above.

The finest and thus most pulverized debris that fell from the ceiling is
found at the center of the concentric distribution of debris. The debris
becomes progressively larger away from the center, which is below the
hole in the ceiling. This defines the hole as the epicenter of a
powerful explosive event. Also observe that the upper panel of the
walk-in freezer has been smashed downward by a force from above.

Notice further that an array of holes in the forward panel of the
freezer correspond with the circular lines of force radiating from the
area below the hole. A physicist I consulted noted that this arc of
evenly-spaced holes "perfectly matchs the hole in the roof and one can
make a ray diagram which traces each and every hole directly back to the
hole in the roof. The shape of each hole also proves that the
projectiles which formed them came from above."

Hideously burned and mutilated bodies of women and children lie under
the debris, largly undiscovered at the time of the photo above. Areas of
black seen through the debris and pushed up against the walls by the
force of the incoming blast contain the burned bodies of women and
children. The image below shows a few of the most intact remains of
those murdered women and children.



The physicist that I consulted concured with the findings of General
Partin, concluding that the distribution of debris from the ceiling and
the damage to the freezer establish physical proof that a large bomb was
detonated on the roof of the room sending a sudden pulse of extreme
explosive force down through the hole in the ceiling corresponding with
the explosion seen in the first photo above. He also noted that the
placement of the bomb would ensure maximum lethal damage. The following
animation shows us how a bomb on the roof of the room would produce all
the physical evidence we have just observed (the people huddled inside
are not depicted).



There is additional evidence supporting Novel's bomb theory, such as the
distribution of cracks seen around the exterior walls of the room.
However, the evidence presented above is sufficient to prove that a
powerful bomb exploded on the roof of the concrete room sending a sudden
pulse of extreme explosive force down into the room. Such explosive
force was sufficient to have finished off any of the forty one women and
children not already killed by exposure to fire, heat, smoke, CS, or the
poisonous gases such as hydrogen cyanide that are produced when CS power
and its carriers burn. It is conservative to conclude that nobody was
supposed to come out alive.

But how did the federal forces assaulting the Mt Carmel Center manage to
place a bomb above the concrete room inside the Center? Danny Coulson, a

  Strange bedfellows
  battle national ID
  Groups mobilize to repeal
  law mandating card


  By Sarah Foster
  © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com

  It's not often you find groups as far
  apart politically as the American Civil
  Liberties Union, La Raza, Eagle Forum
  and Concerned Women of America on
  the same side of an issue.

  But these organizations and others --
  such as the Conference of State
  Legislatures, the Electronic Privacy
  Information Center and Free Congress
  Foundation -- are united in a
  broad-based coalition from across the
  political spectrum to force repeal of
  an obscure section of an immigration
  law Congress passed three years ago,
  which provides a provision for turning
  state driver's licenses into what these
  critics claim is a national
  identification card.

  Section 626 (b) of the Illegal
  Immigration Reform and Immigrant
  Responsibilities Act of 1996 requires
  states to collect, verify and display
  social security numbers on
  state-issued driver's licenses and
  conform with federally-mandated
  uniform features for driver's licenses.
  It authorizes the federal Department of
  Transportation to establish national
  requirements for birth certificates and
  driver's licenses.

  The Illegal Immigration Reform Act --
  with Section 626 (b) -- is scheduled to
  take effect Oct. 1, 2000.

  "Basically, what the statute says is
  that federal agencies 'may not accept
  for identification or related purposes a
  driver's license or other comparable
  identification document issued by a
  state unless the license or document
  satisfies the requirements established
  by the act,'" said Norm Singleton,
  Rep. Paul's legislative assistant,
  quoting the act itself.

  "What that in essence means is that
  anything that under federal law you're
  required to show an ID for, you can
  only show or produce an ID that
  corresponds to the standards of the
  act," Singleton explained.

  "You will have a mandated, uniform
  ID that you will have to show before
  opening a bank account, getting a job,
  traveling on a plane, applying for
  Social Security or Medicare -- those
  are some of the things you won't be
  able to do without a federally
  approved ID," he said.

  In addition to Social Security numbers
  the new driver's licenses may include
  microchips encoded with the holder's
  fingerprints and other personal data.

  In the House Ron Paul has led the
  fight against Section 626 (b).

  "It's a threat to liberty," says
  Singleton. "That's why Congressman
  Paul favors repeal of this section.
  There's no constitutional authority for
  the federal government to be telling
  the states what kind of ID they must
  issue to their citizens in order to get a
  driver's license or any other kind of
  license. It's another example in this
  country of how we're allowing the
  erosion of our traditional liberties and
  our Bill of Rights."

  In the Senate, Richard Shelby, R-Ala.,
  has taken a leading role by attaching
  an amendment to a transportation
  appropriations bill that would repeal
  the controversial Section 656 (b). The
  appropriations bill is now in the
  conference committee, and could be
  discussed and voted on as early as
  today -- certainly by the end of the
  week.

  The question is whether the language
  to repeal Sec. 626 (b) will be allowed
  to remain.

  Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is fighting
  all efforts to keep the repeal language.
  He denies Section 626 (b) spells a
  national ID card, and views it as a
  much-needed way of stemming illegal
  immigration.

  In case the repeal language is
  removed, the opponents in the House

Re: [CTRL] Ted Gunderson / Quotes from The Last Circle / Part 1 of 5

 -Caveat Lector-

Enclosed are quotes from the e-book, "The Last Circle" by Carol Marshall,
 mostly as they pertain to Ted Gunderson, former FBI SAC, and advocate for
survivors of satanic ritual abuse.

To read the book and the "Editor's Note" (by Jeff Davis,) start here:

I have in my possession five boxes of documents, obtained from a
convicted methamphetamine chemist [[Michael Riconosciuto]] whose closest
friends were a 20-year CIA operative [[Robert Booth Nichols]] and a former
FBI Senior-Agent-in-Charge of the Los Angeles and Washington D.C. bureaus
[[Ted Gunderson]]. The labyrinthine involvements of these people and their
corporate partners is revealed in this manuscript, along with information
obtained by Washington D.C. journalist Danny Casolaro prior to his death in
1991.

---

On an impulse, I picked up the phone and called Gunderson's telephone
number listed at the top of the attached resume. The resume was
impressive. He'd worked as SAC (Senior Special Agent in Charge) at Los
Angeles FBI headquarters, Washington D.C. headquarters and in Dallas,
Texas. It would be two years before I would grasp the significance of
the Dallas connection. After retiring from the FBI, he'd worked for F.
Lee Baily, Esq., then formed his own investigative agency in Los Angeles
county.

--

Unknown to me at the time, I had taken a quantum leap in the direction
of the Octopus when I contacted Ted Gunderson. The mystery of the
Mariposa coverups would soon be divulged through an associate of his, a
former member of "The Company" in nearby Fresno, California.
-
He was a big, handsome man with an aging face and tossled silver hair. He
seemed
entirely unaware of his appearance or the appearnce of his home, but his
pale eyes were intelligent and probing. Intuitively, I knew he was more
than he appeared to be.
-
In the van, reviewing the documents, I wondered what relationship they
had to Mariposa County and why I was given the packet. The documents
were far ranging, beyond anything I had heretofore imagined. But within
days of my visit to Gunderson, I would be introduced to the Octopus.
--
The following morning, at 7:30 a.m., I received a collect call from a
man who identified himself as Michael Riconosciuto (pronounced
Riconoshooto). Riconosciuto, calling from the Pierce County jail in
Tacoma, Washington, said he had been informed by Gunderson that I was
investigating a corruption/drug ring in Mariposa County. For 45 minutes
Riconosciuto related the names of those in charge of methamphetamine
operations in Mariposa, Madera and Fresno counties.
---
I interrupted him [Michael Riconosciuto], wanting to know where HE fit into
the picture?

"Well, I served as Director of Research for the Wackenhut facility at
the Cabazon Indian reservation in Indio, California. In 1983/84 I
modified the PROMISE computer software to be used in law enforcement and
intelligence agencies worldwide. A man named Earl Brian was spearheading
a plan for worldwide use of the software, but essentially, the modified
software was being pirated from the owners, Bill and Nancy Hamilton."
--
In subsequent documents obtained from Michael's secret hiding place in
the California desert, I located documents which indicated Michael had
first been recruited into the CIA by Al Holbert.
-
Riconosciuto had been communicating regularly with
journalist Danny Casolaro prior to his death on August 10, 1991 when
Danny's nude body was found in the bathtub of room 517 of the Sheraton
Hotel in Martinsburg, West Virginia. His wrists had been slashed ten or
twelve times.
-
He [Danny Casolaro] told friends that he "had traced the Inslaw and related
stories back to a dirty CIA `Old Boy' network" that had begun working
together in the 1950's around the Albania covert operations. These men had
gotten into
the illegal gun and drug trade back then and had continued in that
business ever since.

Before his death, Danny had made plans to visit the Wackenhut
Corporation in Indio, California, and even considered naming his book,
"Indio."

Ted Gunderson was one of the few "cooperating" witnesses at Michael's
trial. Through his affidavit and testimony, Ted hoped to supply the
defense with needed corroboration of Michael's covert government
sanctioned activities. Unfortunately for Michael, Ted could not disclose
 numerous activities which had included Robert Booth Nichols. At one
time Gunderson, Nichols and Riconosciuto had been inseparable, like the
three musketeers. But, Nichols was currently under investigation by the
Los Angeles FBI for

[[Michael Riconosciuto:]]  "Now Ted Gunderson ..."

[[Author:]] "Mike, have you got any paperwork on that?"

[[Michael R.:]]  "Now, wait a minute. Gunderson was physically with me when
Wayne Reeder, Peter Zokosky and his wife and several of Wayne Reeder's
lieutenants,
Bob Nichols and his wife, Harold Okimoto, George Pender, Deborah Pender,
Dill Pender, and myself were all together ..."

[[Author:]] " ... Where?"

[[Michael R.:]] " ... At Wayne Reeders country club, golf club, in Indio,
California.
And Bob discussed openly in front of Ted Gunderson and myself and
everyone present bragged about Glenn Shockley and Jose Londono having
3,500 soldiers. It's now almost double that ..."

"What does that mean? What are the soldiers?"

Mike: "R.J. will know what it means."

"Alright. OK."
--
Casolaro's June - July (1991) phone bills told a story of their own.
Having followed Danny's investigative trail for three years, I had an
entire directory of phone numbers relating to his inquiries.
-
It was also apparent that Danny was riding a seesaw with Nichols and
Riconosciuto. He would talk to one, then the other, often on the same
day, back and forth for months. Then suddenly, he cut off Riconosciuto
and his calls to Nichols increased in frequency.

Other phone numbers matched those of Ted Gunderson, Alan Boyak, a lawyer
in Utah, Bo Gritz, Heinrich Rupp and Chuck Hayes, a self-professed (on
the Internet) CIA operative. Danny often called Hayes immediately after
he spoke with Nichols. Oddly, Hayes never came forward during the
official investigation of Danny's death to disclose the content of those
conversations.
-
It is noteworthy that Danny Casolaro also contacted and interviewed
Allan Boyak shortly before his death. According to Ted Gunderson and
others who knew Danny, Boyak met with Casolaro in Washington D.C. and
provided him with a copy of a transcript of the meeting between himself
(Boyak), Riconosciuto, and Ted Gunderson, who at that time was
Riconosciuto's investigator.

I later obtained the same transcript from Gunderson's live-in partner,
J.M., and have related the contents of that explosive transcript in
Chapter 13.
--
"The FBI background check [conducted by Ted Gunderson] on Robert Booth
Nichols (born 1943 or 1944 he couldn't remember for sure) revealed that
he was `squeeky clean.' In fact, he had a Class I machine gun license.
-
"Three to four years ago, Boyack received an out of the blue telephone
call from Michael Riconosciuto. Michael identified himself as a former
employee of Robert Nichols. He also referenced Ted Gunderson as a
`mutual friend.' Boyak had only met Ted once very briefly when he was
pressing the L.A. FBI to look into the Nichols dope suspicions ..."

" ... Then in April 1991, Boyak received a phone call from Ted
Gunderson, informing him that `Michael was in trouble. He was caught in
a government frameup.'
--
One of the most surprising, and disturbing, documents I found in Michael
Riconosciuto's hidden files (see Chapter 9) was an envelope with a
notation on it, handwritten and signed by Ted Gunderson, which read as
follows:

"Michael: Raymond [Lavas] is arriving at LAX, 7:55 p.m., Air Canada via
flight 793 from Toronto. Will have to go through Customs. This will give
us another member for our drug/arms operation. Only problem [is] Raymond
will probably be using instead of selling. Sorry I didn't get to D.A.
office. I tried to call, but no answer. By the time I fought the traffic
to the bank and did my banking, it was too late Will be home tonight
(818) 8806238. T.G."

Raymond Lavas was Ted Gunderson's forensic expert when he worked for the
FBI. Lavas was in constant contact with Bobby Riconosciuto after Michael
was incarcerated. In fact, everyone was watching Michael and Bobby very
closely.
---
The transcript, originating from a series of tape recorded interviews
between Michael Riconosciuto, Ted Gunderson and Robert Booth Nichols at
Nichols' "007" apartment in Marina Del Ray, provided a window into the
entire drug scene in California from the early 1960's through the
1980's, mostly relating to methamphetamine operations in the Bay Area.
It had been typed by Ellen Nichols, Robert's wife.

Riconosciuto's relationship with Ted Gunderson dated back at least as
far as 1982. Michael and Nichols dated back to 1967. In reading the
transcript, it appeared that Gunderson and Nichols were interviewing
Riconosciuto for recruitment into a drug/sting operation.

Riconosciuto later verified that he was, in

Out of the Wackenhut/Cabazon endeavor grew a business partnership between
Nichols and Riconosciuto, both interested in developing new, hightech
submachine guns and powerful explosive devices that, like a nuclear
blast, could produce an electromagnetic pulse that could wipe out an
enemy's communicatins and electronics.

The secretive Nichols chatted with Casolaro frequently. Casolaro's July
phone bills indicated that he called Nichols fifteen times that month,
often in the wee hours of the morning. Several of those phone
conversations lasted for more than two hours. Before his death on August
10th, Danny Casolaro told his brother, Tony, and Bill Hamilton that
Nichols warned him that his investigations were risky.
---
According to FBI statements, Nichols is not a man whose warnings should
be taken lightly. In September 1987, Special Agent Thomas Gates of the
Los Angeles FBI had begun an investigation of the activities of Robert
Booth Nichols and his corporation, Meridian International Logistics,
through Japanese and Australian legal attaches abroad.

According to a subsequent deposition filed by Gates, the bureau
suspected Nichols of being involved in a $500 million stock fraud and of
maintaining ties to the Gambino crime family and organized crime in
Japan.
---
Gates's deposition was part of a 1987 wiretapping on the phone of Eugene
Giaquinto, an official of the MCA entertainment corporation with reputed
MOB links. Nichols was one of the people whose calls the bureau
intercepted. According to the wiretap application, Nichols was allegedly
an international money launderer for money generated through narcotics
trafficking and organized crime activities.
-
Ted Gunderson submitted an affidavit on Nichols' behalf, stating that he
believed Gates HAD acted outside the scope of his employment when
investigating Nichols abroad, the suit was subsequently dismissed
through the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
--
While reading these documents, I couldn't help wondering why an "arms"
dealer [Nichols] , allegedly tied in with organized crime, wanted to fund the
exclusive training of physicians at a Japanese medical school?
--
Was this technology being developed with the authority of the U.S.
government, or independently? If Nichols' operations were in fact
government sanctioned, then it must have been frustrating for him to be
investigated by the FBI. The concept of the FBI inadvertently
investigating the CIA was ironic. And what had Danny Casolaro learned
about this technology?
---
I felt that time was of the essence in uncovering the nature of this
technology, so I pushed Riconosciuto to talk about it. "It looks like
Earl Brian, Sir Denis Kendall, Hercules Research, Wackenut, Zokosky and
Bob Nichols were all involved in the same biotechnological agenda ..."

Michael answered, "You got it."

I asked, "Are they connected, or are they all individually working on
their own projects?"

Michael: "Yes."

"How?"

Michael: "Check out Bio-Rad Laboratories. Their international
headquarters are on half of the property that used to be the Hercules
plant, in Hercules, California. Do you understand what I'm saying?
BioRad makes the most toxic biological and radioactive compounds known
to man. And they're now located in the town of Hercules. BioRad
Industrial Park. That building of theirs, the headquarters, doesn't look
like much, but it goes 20 stories down into the ground. It's a huge
underground complex.

"See, BioRad was the flagship company, and then they [Earl Brian]
started InfoTech, and then they got mired in lawsuits and then Hadron
was formed to be a cutout parent corporation, you know, just to be a
firewall from law suits ..."

I asked, "What do they do at BioRad?"

"Well, they make the most hazardous biological and nuclear chemicals in
the world, for medical research."

"Who do they sell it to?"

"Well, front line researchers all over the world. BioRad is the single
source for this stuff ... actually Aldrich Chemical sells it, there's
about 100 companies, but BioRad is head and shoulder above all of them
by a factor of ten on many things like Cytotoxins."

I remembered reading about Cytotoxins in the Wackenhut/Cabazon
biological warfare letters to Dr. Harry Fair.

Michael responded hesitantly, "It would have been Hitler's wet dream.
It's selective to such a degree that it's awesome. With the appropriate
genetic material, you can wipe out whole segments of humanity. There's
no stopping it."

It was time to interview Robert Booth Nichols. I was communicating
regularly with Ted Gunderson and one day, on an impulse, I asked him for
Nichols's telephone number. Gunderson hesitated, then gave me the
telephone number of a "relative" of Nichols' in Los Angeles, stating
that he really couldn't give out Robert's home number without first
consulting him.
--
I didn't mention that Riconoscituo had stated Kendall was Nichols'
supervisor (CIA "handler"), or that J.M., Ted Gunderson's research
partner, had found a brochure in Ted's files advertising for Swedish
nurses at a medical research complex in Mexico. The brochure contained
both Gunderson's picture and Sir Denis Kendall's.
--
Nichols continued to lead the conversation towards Riconosciuto. Nichols
and Zokosky could not understand why Ted Gunderson testified for Michael
at his trial in Washington state. At a previous dinner party at Nichols'
apartment in Sherman Oaks, Ted reportedly told the two men that Michael
had loaned him (Gunderson) $60,000 for a joint business venture. Ted
still owed Michael the money.

It is noteworthy that Ted also supplied Robert Booth Nichols an
affidavit for HIS lawsuit against Thomas Gates.
---
I simply did not perceive Riconosciuto as a killer. Nevertheless, I asked
Nichols how Michael would kill me if he was in jail? Nichols said it
would be done by one of Michael's "drug flunkies." He said Riconosciuto
HAD worked for the government, and had been "rescued" by the FBI for
years. He added that Michael could get away with murder.

I wondered if the video had been tampered with. I asked Nichols where he
had obtained the original "uncut" version? He would not say. I had no
idea at that time that his F.I.D.C.O. partner, Clint Murchison, Jr.'s
[[friend of Ted Gunderson, according to his live-in partner, J.M.]] father
had had instant access to the Zapruder film immediately after the
assassination in Dallas, Texas.

Nichols studied me for the longest time, then walked over to the window
and lit a cigarette. He finally commented that the CIA can cover up
anything it wants, even a president's murder. He wanted to show me the
power of the Octopus. "Nothing is as it appears to be," he said.

Inwardly, I recalled a conversation with J.M., in which she
related a conversation she'd had with Ted after a dinner engagement with
Nichols. Nichols had reportedly stated to Ted that he headed a 200man
assassination team. Jackie had been too frightened to elaborate on this
conversation, but had pointed out that Nichols once worked in the
MKUltra (Manchurian Candidate) program during the Vietnam war. This
program was part of the "Phoenix Project." Interestingly, numerous
publications had mentioned that Earl Brian had also participated in the
Phoenix Project during the war.
--
Littman proceeded to issue a warning which I recorded in my notebook in
the car. It read as follows: "Littman warned me today to watch out.
Noone gets out of this alive. No one walks. If I cut them off, it would
be very dangerous."
-
That evening, I mentally reviewed the day's events. Nichols and Littman
were undoubtedly screwing with my head. The doctored Zapruder tape gave
them deniability. The information I had obtained at the meeting may or
may not have had value, but I knew one thing, the deaths surrounding
Riconosciuto and Nichols were real enough.

Behind the smoke and mirrors labyrnthe was a story, one they were
working very hard to conceal. I felt sure the corporate and government
connections were little more than "fronts" for large scale drug
trafficking.
-
Bobby Riconosciuto sat with Ted Gunderson and J.M. in her hotel suite
and ate pizza. When I called her, she said Ted had detained her at the
hotel, she couldn't get away. My husband and I finished our dinner and
drove to San Diego to see my mother.
--
"John, I've been straight with all of them. Every one of them. I have
never betrayed any of them, other than to provide you, as a journalist,
with some documents you requested ..."

He interrupted me, still speaking meticulously, ever so slowly. "You
cannot fool people like Michael and Bobby and Ted Gunderson. Michael
knew the meeting was going to take place. And it's not a good idea to go
back and tell him a story that something didn't happen when it did
happen."
---
Bobby confided that Michael had taperecorded the conversation in which
Littman had reported the contents of the Nichols meeting. Michael had
called a "friend," and had the friend patch

Today's Lesson from Steppenwolf

by Hermann Hesse


We need not be surprised that even so intelligent and educated a man as
Harry should take himself for a Steppenwolf and reduce the rich and
complex organism of his life to a formula so simple, so rudimentary and
primitive. Man is not capable of thought in any high degree, and even
the most spiritual and highly cultivated of men habitually sees the
world and himself through the lenses of delusive formulas and artless
simplifications--and most of all himself. For it appears to be an inborn
and imperative need of all men to regard the self as a unit. However
often and however grievously this illusion is shattered, it always mends
again. The judge who sits over the murderer and looks into his face, and
at one moment recognizes all the emotions and potentialities and
possibilities of the murderer in his own soul and hears the murderer's
voice as his own, is at the next moment one and indivisible as the
judge, and scuttles back into the shell of his cultivated self and does
his duty and condemns the murderer to death. And if ever the suspicion
of their manifold being dawns upon men of unusual powers and of
unusually delicate perceptions, so that, as all genius must, they break
through the illusion of the unity of the personality and perceive that
the self is made up of a bundle of selves, they have only to say so and
at once the majority puts them under lock and key, calls science to aid,
establishes schizomania and protects humanity from the necessity of
hearing the cry of truth from the lips of these unfortunate persons.

The FBI's Trie Notes Are Missing

They meant to write a new, improved set.

A Senate committee will investigate the disappearance of an FBI agent's
notes describing Justice Department efforts to block an investigation
into campaign finance abuses by Democratic fund-raiser Charles Yah Lin
Trie.
Sen. Fred Thompson, Tennessee Republican and chairman of the
Governmental Affairs Committee, said he was unhappy with ongoing Justice
Department and FBI internal probes, and would call department and bureau
officials for depositions by committee lawyers.

"We had an entirely unsatisfactory meeting Thursday with officials from
the Justice Department and FBI offices responsible for handling this
internal investigation into the pages apparently removed from an FBI
agent's notebooks," Mr. Thompson said.

"They've known for a month the agent's notes have apparently been
altered, but even when we met with these officials specifically to
discuss their findings to date, they were wholly unprepared to talk
about details," he said. "The committee now intends to find out the
details on its own."

Mr. Thompson said the notes were "apparently removed" after they had
been suboenaed during a House inquiry.

He said their disappearance caused him "very serious concern," adding
that those responsible face potential criminal charges.

Agent Roberta Parker, a 14-year FBI veteran, told the panel during
nearly four hours of testimony last week that 27 pages from a spiral
notebook describing the Trie probe -- including a recounting of her
disagreements with Justice Department lawyers -- disappeared after she
turned them over to her FBI superiors. The notebook, one of several she
maintained, had been sought in response to questions by a House
committee concerning Justice Department and FBI disagreements over the
campaign finance probe.

Mrs. Parker testified that the pages were torn out of the book, although
she had no information on who was responsible.

She was one of four FBI agents who told the panel that Justice
Department lawyers blocked their efforts to pursue investigative
targets, including Trie.

They described department lawyers assigned to oversee the probe as
unaggressive, saying they sought to impede or delay the investigation
with "ludicrous" restrictions.

One of the agents, Ivian C. Smith, who headed the FBI's Little Rock,
Ark., field office even complained in a personal memo to FBI Director
Louis J. Freeh the lawyers in charge of the probe were "at best, simply
not up to the task."

The agents testified that:

* Justice Department lawyer Laura Ingersoll, who headed the campaign
finance probe, blocked their bid for a search warrant to stop a
destruction of evidence by Trie and his assistant.

* Miss Ingersoll and her boss, Lee Radek, head of the department's
public integrity section, refused for four months to allow agents to ask
a magistrate for a search warrant after a "trash cover" investigation
showed financial, business and travel records were being destroyed.

* A search warrant affidavit written by Mrs. Parker, a lawyer herself,
said Trie's assistant, Maria "Dia" Mapili, had "shredded or torn"
documents into "small pieces by use of hand shears or some other manual
cutting device."

COME AND GET ME, OCTOPUS!
KEITH CO-AUTHOR RESUMES COLUMN

Commentary by Kenn Thomas
[EMAIL PROTECTED]



"If Fate should break my stride, I'll give you my Vincent to ride..." -
Richard Thompson, 1952, Vincent Black Lightning.



I don't know if I came to the Richard Thompson concert along the
Mississippi riverfront this past weekend to help with closure over Jim
Keith's death, but these words went a long way in that direction. Jim
may have died pursuing the pregnancy angle of the Princess Diana story,
and Thompson - a folk rock legend, founder of Fairport Convention,
revered for his words - is a particularly smart-ass limey. He mugged a
Woody Guthrie bit, singing, "This land is your land, this land is your
land, this land is your land..." Thompson is also a Sufi mystic, and the
sources of Jim's final column for Nitro News about Diana were Sufi.



Coincidences, of course, but I confess a sentimental attachment to
coincidences, and a more than unconscious desire to fit my experience
over the death of Jim Keith into an understandable pattern. He's gone,
and all that's left are his books, which for the fortunate reader,
provide a perspective on history, on conspiracy, on what's happening
right now and in the future, as rare and unique as the '52 Vincent in
the Thompson song.



I co-authored the Octopus with Jim Keith, and have now agreed to resume
his column exclusively in Nitro News, in part as defiance against the
Octopus, if that vicious beast had anything to with it. In this regard,
I would like to repeat the part of the Keith column that rumor suggests
led to him being offed:



"In 1998, one of my Sufi contacts, who chooses to remain anonymous,
travelled to London to participate in Dhikr, a remembrance of Allah.
This ritual was attended by both Sufis and orthodox Muslims. My contact
reports that while participating in this ceremony, he met Dodi Fayed's
personal physician, a man who is a Muslim, but is not a Sufi. In private
conversation, the physician told him that Diana and Dodi Fayed had
planned on getting married, and that he had personally examined her and
determined that she was pregnant."



There, Octopus. Come after me. I don't have the name of the physician,
but if it is with Jim's research and if it comes into my hands, I'll out
him right away. That's what we did with Danny Casolaro's research,
taking everything that was left and finishing his book. It has become a
relay race of conspiracy writers, trying to get out the truth about this
nasty transglobal monster before it takes us down. Maybe it's a monster
of our imagining. Maybe Jim died of just a blood clot, although the
anecdotal information I've accumulated suggests this is very rare. In
lieu of a real investigation (still needed, although I was unsuccessful
in raising money to fly to Reno for the purpose), we can only guess. In
any event, I will not go quietly, and Jim cannot pass through this life
without those questions being asked and pursued as best as possible.



Readers unfamiliar with my work should know that I travel and lecture
widely, appear regularly on radio and TV throughout the country, and I
publish the conspiracy magazine Steamshovel Press. Jim parked his '52
Vincent at the Steamshovel offices on occasion, and it's still being
used for the car pool.



The Steamshovel take on Diana has been that she was collateral damage in
an aerospace espionage hit against Dodi Fayed for the sake of the Al
Yamama contract umbrella. The Saudis buy substandard military aircraft
with loans from Britain that cover far more than the cost. Mohamed
Al-Fayed posed a threat to this arrangement, particularly with his
support of Tony Blair, and he was sent a message about it via the
killing of his son.



The consequent death of Diana, of course, served many ancillary purposes
of the British Royals, including its racist concerns over the pregnancy.
One suspected architect of the Dodi Fayed hit is his uncle, Adnan
Khashoggi, who spent much of his career developing the Al Yamama
contracts. Danny Casolaro was investigating him on the very day he
(Casolaro) was found dead.



Mohamed Al-Fayed remains resolute in his determination to find out what
really happened to his son. In a recent BBC interview, primarily
intended to goad him into making inflammatory statements about the
Royals, he made these interesting remarks:



"Al-Fayed: I hate nobody. I just want to find justice.



BBC: But you have contempt for the Establishment, they have refused you
British citizenship.



Al-Fayed: I don't care about that, it is not important to me.



BBC: You used to care about it.



Al-Fayed: The way my son has been murdered, because I can't get to the
truth, I can't get killers because you cover yourselves with Official
Secret Acts...



BBC: Do you

-1-  The Federal Reserve is a private corporation. (A business that has
nothing at all to do with the American government).
-2- The Federal Reserve prints all the paper currency for the American

Federal   Reserve which must be paid back with interest.
-4- The Federal Reserve prints only enough paper currency to cover the
loan amount that the government requests.
-5-  The American government extorts taxes from it's citizens in order
to pay back the loans and interest to the Federal reserve.
-6- With each and every transaction, with each and every passing year,
the Federal Reserve gets bigger and richer while the American people
become smaller and poorer. This cannot be avoided, delayed nor altered
in any way what so ever. No policy, no budget can ever alter this fact
because it is built into the very core of the system. (only enough money
released into the system to cover the principal amountnot the
interest). In other words, more money must therefore be taken out of the
system than goes in. Repayment of the debt is not ever possible, the
system is set up that way.there just isn't enough money and
therefore the only possible solution that the system offers is to go
deeper into debt.
The only possible way to be freed from financial slavery is to abolish
the Federal Reserve, cancel all debts owing to it and encharge the
government directly with printing it's own money and supplying it to the
system with ZERO interest charged.
The system, as it exists in it's present form is nothing less than a
financial racket (scam) which is nothing short of a criminal activity
worthy of a public investigation and disclosure so that the very people
(all citizens) can see for themselves what it really is.

Think about it, every single federal politician that exists is in on
this scam, they are all defrauding you the American people. The
government will never tell you this because the scam can only work so
long as the masses are ignorant of it's true function.

 -Caveat Lector-

- Original Message -
From: Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Have you considered the possibility that life expectancy in
 India vs. U.S. is possibly related to CRUSHING POVERTY ?

Yup.  Poverty sucks.  Overpopulation -- poverty -- misery.

Why overpopulation?  Over the past 100-150 years we've seen
the rise of modern medicine and SANITATION, which have had a
tremendous impact on human populations.  The worldwide life-
expectancy averaged around 39 years in pre-modern times, and
about 90% of everyone born died in childhood.  Sanitation
and basic medicine [antibiotics etc] changed that, cutting
infant mortality rates down to 1%-10% - but impoverished and
traditional cultures maintained high birth rates, leading to
vast population increases.  Wealthier and less tradition-bound
societies cut their birthrates - indeed, birthrates worldwide
are dropping sharply, but they probably won't stabilize at
replacement levels for another 100-150 years,say demographers.

Ever-rising populations in poor countries produces increasing
poverty, with fewer resources available for advanced medicine,
for investment in infrastructure, for upgrading lifestyles.  So
the poor and traditional will continue subjecting themselves to
ineffective medical practices, 'cause those are all that are
available.  And romantics in more developed countries will use
'traditional' medicines 'cause such are cute'n'cozy.  If your
favorite homeopathic preparation doesn't kill you, you'll sing
its praises - if it DOES kill you, you won't be around to bitch
about it.  This is called a "self-selecting sample," eh?

Things will get strange in upcoming decades.  Folks with access
to advanced medical technology will get healthier, will have
themselves and their offspring gene-modified to live a LONG
time.  People without access to such technologies will continue
to die young, despairing, ground to a pulp.  But 'enhanced'
humans will also shop for homeopathic/traditional remedies for
their real and perceived ailments - and since they'll be quite
healthy, the bogus preparations won't kill them as quickly, and
they'll sing the praises of the goo, and live on happily.  Yow.

If a few years, you'll have chips implanted in your body, if
you can afford them.  They'll monitor/regulate your physiological
functioning, report on you to a central database, automagically
mediate your economic/physical/medical activities.  You will
lose privacy.  You will gain time, value, contacts.  You may or
may not have the option to select these implants, depending on
where you live, on who your insurer/HMO/bank/govt are.  Folk with
such implants will live longer, will have more economic/political
control, will be significant.  And people without such implants,
probably won't.  Poor people around the world will likely do all
they can to gain such implants.  Illegal immigration will reach
new levels.  Phony implants will be a black-market boom.  To be
fully human, you'll necessarily be fully wired.  Watch it happen.

  ndor," the Vatican proclaimed after a 30-month, $5 million restoration,

[CTRL] Fwd: CIA Venture Capital Company in Silicon Valley

1999-09-29 Thread Kris Millegan





9.29.99
Marta clues us in to news that the CIA has established a high-tech
venture-capital company in California's Silicon Valley to foster the
growth of companies which develop such technologies useful to the CIA in
pursuit of their agendas, such as security and "data mining"
technologies. Another purpose for the new CIA computer company, called
In-Q-It, is to bring the CIA's computer systems up to speed.

Wouldn't want our friendly CIA to be behind the curve on anything, now
would we?

John, who says that spooks are hopelessly out of synch in our technoeconomy?
Economic and management dullards?

Check out today's Denver Post, page 20A, article from NY Times writer John
Markoff: (This article isn't at the DP website as it wasn't written by their
writers.  Don't have the time to go find it now...but, here's the executive
summary.)

"Headline: CIA invests to ensure high-tech future for spies.  Hoping to
ensure that the nation's spies have the latest information technology in the
rapidly changing Internet age, the CIA has established a venture capital
company to nurture high-technology companies, company executives and former
CIA officials said.

"The CIA has chosen a veteran Silicon Valley software company to head the
effort, which has an office in Washington with eight employees and will
have a second office in Washington.

[...] "The agency has named its new nonprofit venture In-Q-It in reference
to Major Boothroyd, a.k.a. Q, the master technologist [in the James Bond
series].

"There is a tremendous information explosion today," said John McMahon,
former deputy director of the CIA and an In-Q-It board member.  "As a
result, the agency was always one step behind.  The agency got the idea that
maybe what it needed was something that would not only appreciate its needs
but be an umbilical cord that was plugged into the brightest minds in the
Valley. [CREEPY SHUDDER!]

[...] "The new company will supply venture capital in some cases, and in
others it will hire contractors or partner with entrepreneurs in four areas:
integrating Internet technology and applications into the CIA's work;
developing new security and privacy technologies; nurturing data mining
technologies to take better advance of the agency's vast storehouse of
records; and modernizing the agency's now-dated computer systems.

[then a big bunch of BS about the agency being so warm, fuzzy, and open
about all this...]

Food (or vomit) for thought, I guess.

PANUPS: Colombian Drug Wars
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
===
P A N U P S

Pesticide Action Network Updates Service
===
Farmers are Victims in Colombian Drug Wars

September 23, 1999


Under the premise of eradicating drug crops, the Colombian

government has been spraying traditional farming communities

indiscriminately with herbicides containing glyphosate.


In June of this year, the Colombian government began spraying homes

and farms of the Yanacona indigenous community in the Macizo

Colombiano region, Cauca province. Herbicides were sprayed over

houses, community centers, schools, water sources, pastures and

workers in the fields. Intended to kill small crops of opium poppy, the

raw material used to make heroin, the spraying destroyed crops and

pasture lands the Yanacona depend on for food and income. Fish and

chickens died, other farm animals became ill, and both adults and

children suffered symptoms of pesticide poisoning.


Faced with illnesses and loss of crops, the Yanacona indigenous

community sent a delegation to meet with the governor of the province,

demanding a stop to the spraying. The governor promised that a fact-

finding commission including representatives of several governmental

and nongovernmental agencies would visit the community to collect

testimony on the spraying. The actual commission consisted, however,

of just two representatives of the provincial government.


Some 1500 members of the Yanacona community assembled to meet

with the fact-finding commission. People presented testimony of their

experience of being "sprayed like flies" and becoming ill. Mothers

reported on illnesses among children, including respiratory distress,

rashes, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, migraines and conjunctivitis. One

pregnant mother with five children testified that all her children were

sick and her livelihood had been destroyed.


Others reported that their pastures had been ruined and their cattle were

ill. The spraying destroyed crops the Yanacona grow to feed their

families and has affected their ability to sell their farm products. For

example, the sale price of milk and cheese has fallen by 50% or more,

due to customers' fears that the cows have drunk water contaminated

with pesticides.


Community members maintain that the majority of the Yanacona farms

that have been sprayed do not grow poppies.


In another area of Colombia, spraying with glyphosate has undone the

successes of small farmers who were working to establish ecologically

and economically sound alternatives to drug crops. Farmers in Caqueta

province have designed intercropped gardens of native species, pasture

areas with tree cover, and small-scale fish farming. In August, the

government began spraying herbicides that have killed seedlings in

their nurseries and crops in their fields, contaminated water sources and

made adults and children sick. The farmers are seeking help from the

International Red Cross to set up a forum in which to present testimony

on what they have experienced.


Colombia produces three illicit drug crops: marijuana, coca and opium

poppy. Commercial production of coca for processing into cocaine

began in the mid-1970s and has increased dramatically; Colombia is

now the world's largest producer of cocaine. Large-scale production of

opium poppy did not begin until 1990, but it too has grown rapidly.

Colombia is now the primary supplier of heroin to the eastern United

States.


Between 1990 and 1998, the U.S. provided some US$625 million to the

Colombian National Police and the Colombian military for aircraft,

weapons, ammunition and other support for the war on drugs.

Beginning in 1996, the U.S. State Department identified herbicide

spraying to eradicate opium poppy crops as a priority; the cost of this

undertaking for fiscal year 1999 may be as high as US$68 million. Yet

the expensive and inhumane "war on drugs" has not brought the drug

trade under control. According to conservative estimates, the area in

Colombia planted with illegal crops increased by almost 400% between

1978 and 1998. Between 1996 and 1998, despite consistent spraying,

coca production in Colombia increased by 50% and poppy production

remained approximately constant.


RAPALMIRA (PAN-Colombia) is calling for the immediate

suspension and long-term prohibition of aerial spraying to eradicate

drug crops, and for the implementation of a genuine

CHAPTER TEN

Denazification Becomes Renazification

"I shudder to think of what will happen to humanity including ourselves, if
this war ends in an inconclusive peace, and another war breaks out when the
babies of today have grown to fighting age."
--From annual message to Congress, January 7, 1943.

"IT appears," declared Lt. General Clay, the Military Governor of Germany, in
a speech to the provincial premiers of the American Zone on November 7, 1946,
"that the denazification law has been used to return as many persons as
possible to their former vocations, rather than to punish the guilty."

But just a few weeks before, in an official conference, General Clay had
counseled his MG officers more "realistically" about denazification and the
Germans charged with its administration, stating:

"You have to be careful in handling Pfeiffer (the Bavarian Minister of
Denazification). Remember, he is an old-line reactionary and a strong
nationalist. If you offend him on those subjects (bungling in denazification,
etc.) he might resign." * [* Reported in a dispatch from Munich by Edd
Johnson, the special correspondent of the Chicago Sun and PM, October 3,
1946.]

There were many subjects on which MG officers could "offend" Dr. Pfeiffer,
for under the direction of this "old-line reactionary and strong
nationalist," at least 60% of the Nazis who were automatically to be
classified as "major offenders" had either been acquitted or classified as
"followers" and dismissed with minor fines. In addition, the Bavarian
Denazification Courts responsible to his ministry had brazenly exonerated
more than three-quarters of the German officials removed from government
positions by our MG officials on account of their political unreliability.

Dr. Pfeiffer might have resigned in a huff if an American had suggested that
as the father of two Storm Troopers and the brother of a dangerous Nazi
interned by the Americans, he himself was politically suspect. General Clay
no doubt realized that the hypersensitive "old-line reactionary" might resent
any insinuation, too, that as the general secretary of the leading right-wing
politicians who had supported the Empowering Act, the law which granted
Hitler dictatorial power in Germany, he had no moral right to judge the
political histories of his fellow Bavarians. *[ * The right of these
discredited old politicians who had voted Hitler dictatorial power to hold
office — and even to direct the denazification program — in the new anti-Nazi
democracy had never been challenged under the denazification law until
January, 1947, when the public prosecutor of a Stuttgart Denazification Court
suddenly indicted Rheinhold Maier, the Wuerttemberg-Baden provincial Premier,
and Wilhelm Simpfendoerfer, the provincial Minister of Culture — both of whom
had supported the Empowering Act of 1933 — as men bearing considerable
responsibility for Hitler's rise to power. As a test for the entire
denazification program, the case inspired sharp discussion in the press and
at meetings of the political parties and of the trade unions. In an attempt
to explain the speech he had made as leader of the Staatspartei (State Party)
in the Reichstag in support of the Empowering Act, in which he had praised
the "great national aims proprosed by the Chancellor (Adolf Hitler) ", Maier
revealed that he had urged his party to support the Act out of fear of the
Nazi and nationalist deputies, who were "drunk with power." He was not to be
trusted to fight back against the Nazis.

Simpfendoerfer, who was also the head of the provincial Christian Democratic
Union, had not only supported the Act and publicly declared -his satisfaction
with Hitler's elimination of the "flabby" Weimar Republic but had also
accepted an invitation from the Nazis to remain in the Reichstag as their
guest after the dissolution of all the parties except the NSDAP. In his
rejoinder to the indictment, he accused the prosecutor of a "seditious
tendency" and suggested that the entire case was "in the service of a shady

http://www.wodip.opole.pl/~laslo/Echelon-links.html

STAND UP FOR THE FREEDOM TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION!

We the monitored have decided to stand up against the very real, very
intrusive, and ultimately oppressive global surveillance system known as
Echelon. Echelon is a vast mainframe set up by the New World Disorder in
order to monitor the world's electronic communications for subversive
keywords. Every time you send someone an email with keywords like
"revolution" and "hacktivism" [for instance], Echelon's computers make a
note of it. If you forward emails with regularity with words on Echelon's
extensive keyword list, you may be marked for human "hands-on" monitoring.

On October 21, 1999 , netizens around the globe are implored to send out at
least one email with at least 50 keyword words. You need not be privy to
knowing exactly what words Echelon uses. It is safe to assume that words
such as "revolution" and "manifesto" and "revolt" [etc.] will work. Just be
sure to sound as subversive as possible. There isn't even any need to write
a cohesive paragraph or sentence. Echelon's computers does not understand
the language anyway. It only knows to look for certain words. By doing this
we can at least temporarily jam the global surveillance system.

This day of action will be timed to preceed Stop Police Brutality Day by one
day so that emails about actions can be sent out with little scrutiny due to
what will already be an enormous workload for Echelon.

Now is a chance for anyone, regardless of computer expertise, to become an
instant hacktivist - best of all, no software is needed [other than your
regular email program].

Of course, feel free to conduct such subversiveness any time. The larger
Echelon's workload, the more free our speech.

After October 1, we ask global netizens to merely stop censoring themselves
for fear of spooky scrutiny. By merely deciding to speak in the spirit of
unabashedly subverting the DOMINANCE paradigm, we will make it quite
difficult for Echelon to do its job.

And much of the furor behind the school voucher crusade is coming from the

state subsidy of parochial schools, as is the case in Europe. In this, as in

  The trouble with allowing SOME --primarily the Fundamentalist "Moral

 that
 this opens the door for the "religionization" of politics by OTHERS TOO --
 and some groups, such as the Catholic Church, have not only bigger
 financial
 clout but an INTERNATIONAL power base ...
  The cry of "anti-Catholicism!" is slowly becoming as strident as
 "anti-Semitism!"

  I bet those who are nostalgic for the "good old days" of the '50s,
 when
 paranoid anti-Communism justified a National Security State run by fascist
 generalissimos, are just as nostalgic for a return to censorship of the

Unfortunately, Andrew, geological history is filled with the marks and scars
of catastrophes that *don't* fit the HAB Theory. The flooding of the Black
Sea is fascinating; it has major implications for archaeology, especially
for the quest to understand the origins of the Indo-European-speaking
peoples. It may indeed be one (I emphasize *one*) of the sources of the
biblical Flood story. There are lots of other floods and related events,
however, which don't fit so neatly into that 7500-year cycle, such as the
eruption of Thera which spelled the doom of Minoan civilization and probably
inspired the legend of Atlantis; or the flooding of the Mediterranean Basin
at 2+ million years B.P., when the Gibraltar dam collapsed. I repeat what I
said in my earlier post: what we need in this discussion is hard
archaeological and palaeontological data which has undergone the rigorous
peer-review process. There is mystery and wonder enough in the history of
this planet without adding our own speculations to the mix...

Please remember, too, that I always try to remain open to unconventional,
off-the-wall ideas. A good many of today's scientific orthodoxies, such as
plate tectonics, started out as off-the-wall ideas, after all. When I
challenge someone's statements, it's in an effort to force more rigorous,
disciplined thinking than is often exhibited. Truth is often found in very
strange places by very strange people. All I ask is that you be as cautious
and precise in your descriptions of that very weird truth as possible. As
J.B.S. Haldane remarked, "The universe is not only queerer than we know, it
is queerer than we *can* know."

[CTRL] American Soldiers Admit to Civilian Mass Killings During Korean War

1999-09-29 Thread Lucio Benedetto

 -Caveat Lector-

Wednesday September 29 1:21 PM ET
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/19990929/ts/the_bridge_at_no_gun_ri_1.html
Ex-GIs Tell AP of Korea Killing
By SANG-HUN CHOE, CHARLES J. HANLEY and MARTHA MENDOZA Associated Press
Writers

It was a story no one wanted to hear: Early in the Korean War, villagers
said, American soldiers machine-gunned hundreds of helpless civilians under
a railroad bridge in the South Korean countryside.

When the families spoke out, seeking redress, they met only rejection and
denial, from the U.S. military and their own government in Seoul. Now a
dozen ex-GIs have spoken, too, and support their story with haunting
memories from a ``forgotten'' war.

American veterans of the Korean War say that in late July 1950, in the
conflict's first desperate weeks, U.S. troops killed a large number of South
Korean refugees, many of them women and children, trapped beneath a bridge
at a hamlet called No Gun Ri.

In interviews with The Associated Press, ex-GIs speak of 100 or 200 or
``hundreds'' dead. The Koreans, whose claim for compensation was rejected
last year, say 300 were killed at the bridge and 100 in a preceding air
attack.

American soldiers, in their third day at the warfront, feared North Korean
infiltrators among the fleeing South Korean peasants, veterans told the AP.

The ex-GIs described other refugee killings as well in the war's first
weeks, when U.S. commanders ordered their troops to shoot civilians,
citizens of an allied nation, as a defense against disguised enemy soldiers,
according to once-classified documents found by the AP in U.S. military
archives.

Six veterans of the 1st Cavalry Division said they fired on the civilians at
No Gun Ri, and six others said they witnessed the mass killing.

``We just annihilated them,'' said ex-machine gunner Norman Tinkler of
Glasco, Kan.

After five decades, none gave a complete, detailed account. But the ex-GIs
agreed on such elements as time and place, and on the preponderance of
women, children and old men among the victims.

Some said they were fired on from among the refugees beneath the bridge. But
others said they don't remember hostile fire. One said they later found a
few disguised North Korean soldiers among the dead. But others disputed
this.

Some soldiers refused to shoot what one described as ``civilians just trying
to hide.''

The 30 Korean claimants - survivors and victims' relatives - said what
happened July 26-29, 1950, was an unprovoked, three-day carnage. ``The
American soldiers played with our lives like boys playing with flies,'' said
Chun Choon-ja, a 12-year-old girl at the time.

The reported death toll would make No Gun Ri one of only two known cases of
large-scale killings of noncombatants by U.S. ground troops in this
century's major wars, military law experts note. The other was Vietnam's My
Lai massacre, in 1968, in which more than 500 Vietnamese may have died.

From the start of the 1950-53 conflict, North Korean atrocities were widely
reported - the killing of civilians and summary executions of prisoners. But
the story of No Gun Ri has remained undisclosed for a half-century.

The Pentagon, told generally of the AP's findings, said it had found no
substantiation for the allegations in the official record. The AP's research
also found no official Army account of the events.

Some elements of the No Gun Ri episode are unclear: What chain of officers
gave open-fire orders? Did GIs see gunfire from the refugees or their own
ricochets? How many soldiers refused to fire? How high in the ranks did
knowledge of the events extend?

The troops dug in at No Gun Ri, 100 miles southeast of Seoul, South Korea's
capital, were members of the 7th Cavalry, a regiment of the 1st Cavalry
Division. The refugees who encountered them had been rousted by U.S.
soldiers from nearby villages as the invading army of communist North Korea
approached, the Korean claimants said.

It was the fifth week of the Korean War. Word was circulating among U.S.
troops that northern soldiers disguised in white peasant garb might try to
penetrate American lines via refugee groups.

``It was assumed there were enemy in these people,'' ex-rifleman Herman W.
Patterson of Greer, S.C., said of the civilian throng.

As they neared No Gun Ri, leading ox carts, with children on their backs,
the hundreds of refugees were ordered off the dirt road by American soldiers
and onto parallel railroad tracks, the Koreans said.

What then happened under the concrete bridge cannot be reconstructed in full
detail. Although some ex-GIs poured out chilling memories, others offered
only fragments, or abruptly ended their interviews. Over the three days,
soldiers were dug in over hundreds of yards of hilly terrain, and no one -
Korean or American - saw everything.

But the veterans corroborated the core of the Koreans' account: that
American troops kept the large group of refugees pinned under the No Gun Ri
railroad bridge and killed almost all of them

  to your friends, significant others, sisters, mothers, daughters, etc.)
  thanks! Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in tampons?
  Why would they do this? Because asbestos makes you bleed more . . . if
  you bleed more, you're going to need to use more. Why isn't this
  against the law since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that
  be, in all their wisdom(not), did not consider tampons as being
  ingested, and
  therefore wasn't illegal or considered dangerous. This month's Essence
  magazine has a small article about this and they mention two
  manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The companies are Organic
  Essentials @ (800) 765-6491 and Terra Femme @ (800)755-0212. A woman
  getting her Ph.D. at University of Colorado @ Boulder sent the
  following: "I am writing this because women are not being informed
  about the dangers of something most of us use - tampons. I am taking a
  class this month and I have been learning a lot about biology and
  woman, including much about feminine hygiene. Recently we have learned
  that tampons are actually dangerous (for other reasons than TSS). I'll
  tell you this, after learning about this in our class, most of the
  females wound up feeling angry and upset with the tampon industry, and
  I for one, am going to do something about it. To start, I want to
  inform everyone I can, and email is the fastest way that I know how.
  Here is the scoop: Tampons contain two things that are potentially
  harmful: Rayon (for absorbency), and dioxin (a chemical used in
  bleaching the products). The tampon industry is convinced that we, as
  women, need bleached white products - in order to view the product as
  pure and clean. The problem here is that the dioxin produced in this
  bleaching process can lead to very harmful problems for a woman. Dioxin
  is potentially carcinogenic (cancer-associated) and is toxic to the
  immune and reproductive systems. It has also been linked to
  endometriosis and lower sperm counts for men- for both, it breaks down
  the immune system. Last September the Environmental Protection Agency
  (EPA) reported that there really is no set "acceptable" level of
  exposure to dioxin given that it is cumulative and slow to
  disintegrate. The real danger comes from repeated contact (Karen
  Houppert "Pulling the Plug on the Tampon Industry"). I'd say using
  about 4-5 tampons a day, five days a month, for 38 menstruating years
  is "repeated contact", wouldn't you? Rayon contributes to the danger of
  tampons and dioxin because its a highly absorbent substance. Therefore,
  when fibers from the tampons are left behind in the vagina (as it
  usually occurs), it creates a breeding ground for the dioxin. It also
  stays in a lot longer than it would with just cotton tampons. This is
  also the reason why TSS (toxic shock syndrome) occurs. WHAT ARE THE
  ALTERNATIVES? Using feminine hygiene products that aren't bleached and
  that are all cotton. Other feminine hygiene products (pads/napkins)
  contain dioxin as well, but they are not nearly as dangerous since they
  are not in direct contact with the vagina. The pads/napkins need to
  stop being bleached, but obviously tampons are the most dangerous. So,
  what can you do if you can't give up using tampons? Use tampons, that
  are made from 100% cotton, and that are UNBLEACHED. Unfortunately,
  there are very, very few companies that make these safe

ANTIPROHIBITION campaign
http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/4756/grc.html
"Once everything not expressly legal is prohibited, 
everything not prohibited becomes mandatory." 







  
  
If prohibition ended today, would you start using drugs? 
  If you wanted to try them, would the law against them stop you? 
  Does the law stop anyone who is currently violating prohibition? 
  When is the last time you heard of a liquor store owner caught at a 
  schoolyard offering kids their first bottle for free? 
  


Prohibition is based on the myth that, if it didn't 
exist, then everyone would become addicted to something like drugs, sex, or 
gambling, and civiliztion would crumble. 
Guess what folks, it is prohibition itself that is making civilization 
crumble. It is prohibition itself that perpetuates the cycle of addiction, 
corruption, and violence. 
Addiction is created not by a substance but by artificial scarcity 
(prohibition) of it. 
Removing the profit motive and banning advertising can prevent young people 
from being intoduced to drugs. Adults seldom become addicted. Taxation would 
provide funds for effective early medical intervention to thwart the few 
naturally occurring cases of addiction. Research into genetics indicates that 
there are biochemical and physiological variations in humans that predispose 
different people to different predelictions. This strongly suggests that 
legalization would not lead to an increase in addictions since people so 
predisposed are probably already self-medicating despite the existence of 
prohibition. The overwhelming majority not predisposed to addiction will not 
find drugs at all alluring. Prohibition is a form of genetic persecution on par 
with Racism. 
Laws or willpower or pshchological therapy has no effect on the small segment 
of the population that is prone to true addiction. Most of these people would 
have no trouble leading productive lives if they weren't forced into crime or 
prostitution to support their 'abnormal', yet certainly not evil, biochemical 
limitations. These people are not genetically predisposed to crime or violence. 
Only to chemical imbalance similar to bipolar disease. They cannot be treated as 
criminals by any civilized society or legal system. 
Prohibition diverts potential tax many times over to organized crime and 
funds government corruption. Prohibition is simply the IRS for the Mob. And the 
Mob runs TV and mainstream media. It runs the CIA. It runs banking, industry, 
science, ...you name it. After 50 years of complicity between Organized Crime, 
the National Security Council, and residual elements of the Nazis, just about 
everything is owned on paper by a terrifyingly small group of people. Many of 
them are familiar and ostensibly respectible like George Bush, Donald Grieg, 
Ronald Regan, William Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Allan Dulles, William Casey, 
Casper Weinberger, and Oliver North. Former President Salinas of Mexico, Manuel 
Noriega, Samosa, etc., etc., etc. 
Jailing all of those people and their co-conspirators, confiscating their 
illegally acquired property, and convicting them of High Treason is what should 
be done according to the prohibition laws these very people have been shoving 
down our throats. But is that ever going to happen? Never in your wildest 
pipedream. 
The only thing we still can and MUST do, is abolish prohibition, and end 
state secrecy. It isn't too late, yet. Prohibition and Secrecy, not 
legalization, are the 'experiments' and they have failed miserably, my friends. 
Legalization with regulation, taxation, education, and therapeutic intervention 
is not an experiment. It is the only sane and civilized policy, and it has 
always worked everywhere for millennia. 
It would be foolish to deny that, on the surface, making drugs, gambling, and 
prostitution illegal seems to be a reasonable way of controlling their 
consumption, for the betterment of the overall quality of life. 
Unfortunately, reality is not so simple. It is not an open ended proposition. 
Meaning "what goes around comes around." 
We cannot unjustly prosecute (persecute) an otherwise productive, law 
abiding, and, intrinsically harmless segment of the population without 
ultimately doing harm to ourselves. They will, and do fight back. With violent 
street crime. Theft. Burglary. Extortion. Money siphoned thusly from the economy 
to buy contraband, not only puts tremendous power in the hands of sociopaths 
(drug overlords), it also robs vital cash flow from the small businesses in your 
community, where the ciphoned local money doesn't get spent. This means fewer 
jobs (more crime), and a smaller local tax base. Even the most 'innocent' 
members of society pay for it in increased costs for insurance, security, and 
retail goods. 
At the same time that peace officers are being asked to investigate and

September 29, 1999

WILL THE REAL COWARD PLEASE STAND UP?
The official announcement of Senator John McCain's presidential candidacy was
greeted with hosannas by the man's many fans in the American media. He has
earned their adulation not only on account of his support for campaign finance
"reform," but especially because of his vocal support for the Kosovo war.
McCain's vehemence on this subject, his insistence that we send in ground
troops, was utilized to counter growing conservative opposition to the war in
the Republican-controlled Congress. To the American and British media, who did
not so much report the war as cheerlead it, this was his passport to almost
unlimited air time. Second only to endless footage of Kosovar refugees in rags
and in tears was seemingly endless footage of the eerily intense McCain
demanding to know why NATO was making such a big deal about not hitting
civilian targets. How many times did we have to hear McCain's vapidly evil
slogan repeated in countless television appearances: "If we're in it, we've got
to win it" – and who cares how many women and children we kill?
GOLDEN IDOL OF THE MEDIA
The image of John McCain has been burnished so brightly by the adoring media that its 
shining light is blinding to the casual observer. McCain is universally depicted as a 
war hero who endured years of torture at the hand
s of the Vietnamese Communists, and who bravely refused to be released while others 
were not. This living saint is often lauded by his media cheerleaders as having "taken 
the high road," not only for his stance on campaig
n finance but especially for his denunciation of Pat Buchanan.
THE ANTI-BUCHANAN
McCain has made a point of going after Buchanan in the ugliest and most 
confrontational way, demanding that Pat hurry up and leave the GOP and sanctimoniously 
declaring that Pat had "dishonored the memory" of World War II
 veterans by writing A Republic, Not an Empire, a book that champions a
revisionist history of World War II and calls for a noninterventionist foreign
policy for the U.S. In his kickoff speech, McCain not only indirectly rebuked
George Bush for lack of foreign policy experience, he also directed an insult
at Buchanan – and the vehemence and venom in his voice was as unmistakable as
his target:
THOSE COWARDLY ISOLATIONISTS
"We Americans are a strong confident people. We know that in open competition
our ideals, our ingenuity, and our courage ensure our success. Isolationism and
protectionism are a fool's errand. We should build no walls in a futile attempt
to keep the world at bay. Walls are for cowards, not for us."
A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE
Quite clearly McCain was saying that Buchanan is a coward. Buchanan's foreign
policy of America First, a noninterventionist and peaceful foreign policy, in
McCain's view amounts to hiding behind "walls" – the stance of a coward. With
his allies in the media gang egging him on, just as they no doubt once egged on
the class bully, the macho McCain thinks he can easily take out Buchanan, who
is already taking heavy incoming fire from all sides. But everyone knows that
if you scratch a bully, you are likely to find a real coward – and, as it turns

SAINT McCAIN?
McCain's usefulness as the liberals' favorite "conservative" makes him popular
with the media elite, but it is his story that makes him interesting: from a
prison cell in Hanoi to the US Senate. It almost sounds like a made-for-
television movie, and one can only wonder when McCain will sell the movie
rights to his book – or have they already started to speculate on what
Hollywood macho man will get to play McCain? The aura of nobility and military
authority that hovers over him like a halo, a veritable aurora borealis of
virtue, has so far blocked any inquiries into his "war hero" bona fides.
Draping himself in the flag, he wears his status as a War Hero like a
protective cloak. But he can't hide his face, and on that subject I can't outdo

Why dont you takea look at David Bohm, the late and famed physicist.  Light
years ahead of Robert Park.

Bohms great contribution to science is the concept of the "implicate
order"...this apparently hasnt hit the textbooks yet and certainly is foreign
to Robert Parks thinking.and knowledge.

In extreme simplicity according to Bohm there are two levels or dimensions to
reality
(a) a surface reality in physical  and biological phenomena  (this is what
you subscribe to) and (2 }  a deeper level which we can observe only
indirectly and which has a transdisciplinary quality.

A full description of science must include the second level which Bohm terms
"implicate " or folded inward..  This is the dimensional quality I referred
to in earlier postings.

Psychic phenomina, homeopathy, all these aspects that offend you are fully
explaine d in Bohm...and you will see from SCIENCE CITATIONS index that an
enormous amount of work in in progress..This is the frontier today.  So
far as I am concerened Robert Park is back in the 1950's clinging to higher
energy physics as a meal ticket...

It is this second  level that I describe in THE VIEW FROM 4-SPACE but in
terms of technologies missed through limited thinking..

 Subject: A Paradox of our Time in History --  George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings,
but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences,
but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge,
but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine,
but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late,
get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and  pray too
seldom.  We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years
to life, not life to years.  We've been all the way to the moon and
back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.

We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things.  We've cleaned up
the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom, but not our
prejudice.  We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.  We've learned to rush, but not
to wait. We build more computers to hold more information to produce
more copies than ever, but have less communication.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and
short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.

These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure,
but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses,
but broken homes.  These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers,
throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills
that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in
the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you,
and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to
just hit delete.

Yesterday's Post---

Dear friends,

As some of you know, I live in a poor and working class
 neighborhood in kansas city, and am involved with various
activities that
 help poor people become less poor. As part of this, I often
take in
 people who are homeless, or would be if not for a safe harbor.
One of my
 housemates just got a four month temporary job unloading trucks at
an
underground storage center located near my neighborhood (KC has a lot
of
underground limestone caves that are used for storage). Anyway, this
particular contract is a government contract, and the product being
unloaded
and stored is MRE's. that is, "meal ready to eat", which i believe
is the
current incarnation of the old army c rations. how many mre's are on
a
truck?
all day, 8 hours a
 day, for four months. that is a LOT of meals ready to eat.

 Note that I didn't hear this from somebody who heard from
somebody, i
 heard this from somebody in my own household who is unloading the
mres,
beginning at 7:30 in the am.

Three things: First, I am comforted to know that this large
amount of
food
is being stored here locally. Second, if you have any fiends or
acquaintances
who do temporary labor or casual jobs, you might ask around and see if
any
such operations are going on in your city.Three, somebody is taking
this
really seriously. mre's aren't
 cheap.

Today's Post --

Dear Jeff and everybody,

Today they unloaded nine trucks, and then were let go early
 because some additional expected trucks didn't show. It takes
two
 guys about 1-1/2 hours to unload a truck, and each gets $35.
Don't know
 if this space has been used to store mre's before, but that's on
the list
of
questions to scope out. It does seem to be a government
 contract, the supervisors seem sure of that. It has been confirmed
that
 this is new, that is, it isn't the regular cold storage location
for Ft.
Leonard Wood, etc. One of the other laborers said that each
 truck had 3500 cases, so today there were nine trucks times 3500
cases
equals
31,500 cases. Anybody know how many mre's are in a case? This
would

   COLUMBINE "MARTYRDOM," OTHER DETAILS BEING QUESTIONED
AS OFFICIAL PROBE WINDS DOWN

The official probe into the April 20, 1999 shootings at Columbine High
School in Colorado is expected to end shortly, according a spokesman for
the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.  Already, though, the
investigation may be casting doubts on some of the earlier reports about
the incident which left 14 students and a teacher dead.  The two gunmen
involved in the slayings who were also Columbine students, Eric Harris and
Dylan Klebold, committed suicide after their rampage.

One finding concerns the case of Cassie Bernall, the 17-year old student
who reportedly was confronted by Klebold and was asked if she believed in
God.  At least one witness claimed that the encounter took place, and that
Bernall replied "Yes" and was then shot.  Since the incident, Bernall has
been described as a modern day martyr for her Christian faith.  Last week,
her parents published a book about their daughter's life and death titled:
"She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall."  The story of
Bernall's alleged heroism has been widely reported in the media and even
cited on the floor of the U.S.  Congress.

Early coverage of the Columbine shooting, raised questions as to whether
this incident ever took place.  The initial news reports were sketchy, and
there was no confirmation that any of the witnesses to the alleged
encounter were actually present in the school library where the shooting
occurred, or could have clearly seen or heard the events they so
dramatically described.  Also, a note should be made of the possible
factors which were fueling the desire to believe the story of Bernall's
"martyrdom".  There were serious questions about whether the media should
have printed the story of Bernall's death based on little or no evidence.

* On Friday, the Denver Rocky Mountain News noted: "Columbine shooting
victim may not have been asked whether she believed in God."  Writers Dan
Luzadder and Katie Kerwin McCrimmon reported that weeks after she died,
investigators informed Bernall's parents that the "now-famous" encounter
between their daughter and Klebold may not have occurred The girl's
mother, Misty Klebold, still proceeded with publication of the book which
was printed and distributed by Plough.  Nearly 300,000 copies have been
distributed to bookstores, and Associated Press notes that reorders are
now coming in.

The Rocky Mountain News story notes that despite early claims by some
students that the conversation between Klebold and Bernall occurred, "It
was discrepancies in student accounts that led police to question the
Bernall testimonial."  A freshman declared that Bernall had affirmed her
belief in god, "Plain and simple."  Another student, though, identified as
16-year-old Emily Wyant, "tells a different story" and was reportedly
crouched underneath a table two feet from Bernall when Dylan Klebold
opened fire.  "They were the only two students studying together at the
table in the back of the library" when the shooting occurred, notes the
News.

"She (Bernall) was saying, 'Dear God.  Dear God.  Why is this happening?
I just want to go home," Emily said"

Sources report that more than fifty students were present in the library
at the time of the gun play.  Interviews with witnesses, though, produced
mixed results.  Police were able to obtain "detailed minute aspects of the
case, including who said what to whom in the school library, and
elsewhere, during the rampage."  But at least one potential source of the
Bernall encounter with Klebold came from a student who "did not actually
see the individuals involved."  When asked by investigators later to point
out where Klebold and Harris were at that time of the shootings, he
pointed to a table where a different student victim identified as Valeen
Schnurr, and not Cassie Bernall, had been hiding.

A variant of the Bernall martyrdom account, though, is being advanced by
Schnurr's mother, according to the News.  She reportedly says that her
daughter was lying on the library floor with more than 15 bullet wound
"praying out loud, when gunman approached her and asked if she believed in
God, and she responded, 'Yes, I believe in God."  Schnurr was spared and
managed to survive.

In reporting the new doubts about the Bernall slaying, Reuters news
service quoted police spokesperson Steve Davis who noted: "There just
seems to be a real question whether the dialogue (between Bernall and
Klebold) took place."  He added that "The Bernalls were made aware there
seemed to be some doubt."

On Saturday, the Bernall family issued a press statement defending the
accuracy of the book about Cassie Bernall, but adding "If any of our
actions have hurt or offended someone, we sincerely apologize..."

* Equally provocative but less certain is the story which appeared last
Wednesday night on the Salon Magazine (Salon.com) web site which was

   The Edomites then practically took over Judea.  The name 'Judea'

   'Jewish' Edomite Herodian dynasty (who built Herod's Temple).
   Many (or most?) Jewish Pharisees (not Saducees) were Edomite Jews.
   The Pharisees took over and put the Saducees out of business.

   WHO ARE THE MODERN JEWS?

   By Scott Stinson
   http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/hittites.htm


   In this age of brain-dead media programmed zombies, would it still
   be possible for the facts to speak?  If so, there is something
   worth saying about the modern "Jewish" race, not written by
   anti-semites, but by Jews themselves -- and where else but in
   The Jewish Encyclopedia!  Please excuse me for being so abrupt,
   but I had to get your attention.  You see, this article is worth
   reading because it has some facts that you need to know about the
   authenticity of today's Jewish race.  The question that must be
   asked as well as answered is simple:  Are the modern Jews really
   the descendants of the ancient people of Israel?  The source of
   our information is also quite simple:  The Jewish Encyclopedia.
   Hopefully we will not find any anti-Semitism in the writings of
   these Jewish scholars.  However, the reader should be forewarned.
   Their articles were written long before the age of mass-media
   social engineering and do not contain any of the familiar
   buzz-words common to today's new views.  In other words, brace
   yourself for a factual scientific analysis of the racial origins of
   the modern Jews.  Oh, and should you decide to verify any of these
   facts, you will find them in your local library in the 1901-1905
   edition of The Jewish Encyclopedia.  So, please, do read on.

   At the turn of the last century there was great interest stirring
   in the science of anthropology.  In the wake of this, Jewish
   scholarship turned its watchful eye upon itself and began to
   examine the racial claims that modern Jews make to the ancestral
   heritage of ancient Israel.  The results were startling.  The
   religious community found itself completely alienated by its
   scientific counterpart.  The scientific method was coming face to
   face with religious traditions and there was a great unsettling in
   the land.  The facts were telling a different story than what had
   been heard for centuries in the local synagogue.  In his article on
   Purity of Race, Joseph Jacobs relates something of the dilemma that
   was gripping the Jewish community at this time.  He writes:  "The
   question whether the Jews of today are in the main descended from
   the Jews of Bible times, and from them alone, is still undecided"

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Arael_ET_AL/did-fms.htm Some are
written by skeptics. (The articles on this page may be triggering. Please use

Law and Social Inquiry - Journal of the American Bar Foundation, Volume 22,

Henderson (The University of Chicago Press) "it would be an injustice to
declare all recovered memory unreliable and to adopt a legal rule precluding

Quotes from "False Memory Syndrome: A False Construct" by Juliette Cutler Page

The concept of "recovered memory", that is, memory of a traumatic event that
had been forgotten for some period of time, has been variously explained by
such mechanisms as repression, amnesia, and dissociation. However, there are
over 100 years of reports and descriptions of recovered memory in the
literature, including instances from times of war, torture, bereavement,
natural disasters, and concentration camp imprisonment. (HOROWITZ) Many
corroborated cases have been documented in instances of recovered memory of
sexual abuse, as well, which will be discussed later in this paper.

Responses to trauma now termed, for example, "repression", "Post-traumatic
stress disorder", or "dissociation" have been recognized literally for
thousands of years.

Dr. Freyd’s memories were supported by other family members. Her uncle
William, Peter’s brother, stated in a letter that "there’s no doubt in my
mind that there was severe abuse The false memory syndrome foundaton is a
fraud designed to deny a reality that Peter and Pam have spent most of their
lives trying to escape. There’s no such thing as a false memory syndrome. It
is not, by any normal standard, a foundation. Neither Peter nor Pam have any
significant mental health expertise."(FREYD LETTER)

Members of the FMSF are largely individuals who seek to defend themselves
from accusations of sexual abuse of children. The FMSF does not attempt to
determine whether these members are falsely accused or not. However, everyone
who contacts their organization is included in their statistics of "falsely
accused". There is little discrimination or skepticism, although members
often criticize supporters of survivors of sexual abuse for believing the
survivors.

The FMSF believes that women who report recovered memories of sexual abuse
are led by therapists to accuse their own families of abuse from their own
sincere belief of incidents which did not occur. However, the FMSF provides
no research or statistics to support this claim. Much FMSF evidence appears
to be anecdotal. The FMSF has even appeared to falsify its own membership
statistics - for example, in the June 7, 1995 newsletter, Accuracy About
Abuse, the following notice appeared:

The American False Memory Syndrome Foundation is widely quoted as having
16,000 families as members but recently Peter Freyd admitted they have only
about 2500 dues paying members.

The British False Memory Society which maintains close links with the
American FMSF, now admits to 230 paid members as of December 1994, not the
650 more usually reported.

Ralph Underwager (who coined the term "false memory syndrome") and Hollida
Wakefield, a married couple on the original FMSF Board of Advisors, have gone
so far as to claim that "the women who make false allegations based on
recovered memories [are] very angry, hostile, and sometimes paranoid... All
will have demonstrated some type of psychopathology in earlier parts of their
lives." (1984) Again, no evidence to support this is given. Neither do they
state how such accusations have been determined to be false. Nor do Wakefield
and Underwager consider why such women might justifiably be angry or appear
"paranoid".

In recent years, one of the most controversial concepts in psychology has
been that of "recovered memory". Many therapists have become wary of treating
clients who appear to have recovered memories of abuse after a long period of
forgetting. Among the reasons for this concern are extremely vocal
organizations that have come forward in support of accused abusers, claiming
that there is no such thing as "recovered memory", and often stating that not
only are therapists who treat such clients negligent, but that therapists are
in fact themselves creating these memories in their clients. This article
will discuss the origins and methods of the primary such organization (the
False Memory Syndrome Foundation), and in so doing, address relevant issues
of memory and the experience of abuse.

The hypocrisy of the federal government appears limitless. Now it’s suing the big
  tobacco companies for $25 billion. Mind you, they’re not
going after the cigar companies, which, of course, don’t have
“deep pockets.” Just cigarettes smokers and makers—America’s
most embattled minority.
  How can the government sue these companies? It
sanctioned the sale of cigarettes for years. It collected billions of dollars in 
taxes. It gave free butts to its military for decades. It
knew for years that smokes are dangerous. But it waits until now
to say anything about illegality?
  Moreover, the government is headed by a man who
smokes cigars, and the number two man in the government used
to brag that he farmed tobacco (that is until he found out that he
could exploit his sister’s death from lung cancer to win re-election
in 1996).
  On what legal or moral basis can the government sue? It’s
one thing for an individual to sue big tobacco--although how
someone could say he or she didn’t know that too much smoking
causes health problems is a great mystery. But the government
has all the legal authority to do this as a bunch of shakedown
artists.
  The government has gotten rich off the profits of big
tobacco. Now, apparently, it wants a lot more. If there’s any
crime here, the government is virtually a co-conspirator. The
government was delighted to collect huge taxes. If smoking was
wrong---and apparently only smoking cigs is evil, not, for the
moment, cigars or pipes---why did the government accept the
billions of dollars in taxes? Why did it push these products with its military?
  By the way, the government, with its vast resources at both the federal and 
state levels, can sue you, me or any industry. It
can destroy a person’s life (see the Sedition Act period of World
War I, FDR’s political prosecutions, and recent  targeted audits).
It can destroy an industry (private railroads, housing in New York
City that was ruined by idiotic, politically motivated rent control
laws, etc), but what practical recourse does the individual have
when a government blunders?
  Meanwhile, Janet Reno will never have to worry about the
consequences of any ridiculous lawsuits she’s filed.
  Even if you don’t care about the fate of tobacco companies
per se, you should care about private property. If the government
can arrogate the private property of tobacco execs, then it can
take the property of anyone and everyone.
  I am reminded of the Robert Caro biography of Robert
Moses (“Power Broker”). In the 20s, the New York public
seemed to cheer when Moses ran roughshod over the rights of
the rich who owned estates on Long Island so he could start
building the state park system. That was ok. Who doesn’t hate the
rich? Along with obese people in 1999, these are minorities who
one can rip and suffer no consequences.
  However, later in his career, when Moses moved against
working-class neighborhoods in the Bronx and Brooklyn, then---
and only then---did Moses finally run into some opposition,
although the Cross-Bronx Expressway (a monument to the
stupidity and arrogance of government planners) was still built.
Every time my car goes over this nightmare of a road I think of
the poltroon pols who were happy to allow Moses to have
unlimited power as long as he trampled on the rights of
politically impotent groups.
  Where will this all end? Today, the tobacco industry.
Tomorrow the liquor industry.
  What’s after that? Who knows? But remember hooligans
don’t stop after one or two  successes. They become emboldened
and will go after anyone and everyone that the pc police
momentarily decides has run afoul of their standards. Careers are
wrecked. Businesses destroyed. Liberty is endangered.
  Woodrow Wilson, the great hero of today’s liberals (who
really are more socialists than liberals) should read up on history.
Wilson illegally jailed tens of thousands of Americans whose
“crime” was they opposed World War I. FDR not only jailed loyal
Japanese-Americans, he connived in the theft of their property.
Wilson’s actions, of course, encouraged government and private
“patriotic” groups to outlaw the teaching of German and the
playing of Beethoven.
  That this same government sets itself up as a moral
authority; that it implicitly claims the right to persecute people for ex-posto facto 
crimes, is why I believe the only way for liberty to
be safe in any country is to have a weak, de-centralized, limited
government. Wasn’t that the promise of the original constitution,
which, unsurprisingly, is scorned by today’s pc types?
  The rule of law---especially the concept of the Der
Rechtsstaat, a German philosophical legal tradition holding that
governments must be subject to

PERSPECTIVE - FAMILY UNDER SIEGE

by JANN FLURY 905-571-4811

Insidious undertows in all the social infrastructures have been eroding the
traditional family over the years, and now institutions within our
establishment intend to separate children from parents at infancy: the signs
are there for all to see who care to look. Proponents of such a plan exist
within the scientific community, within the social services bureaucracies,
our education system, many special interest groups, and human rights
organizations. Reasons for supporting such an egregious and absurd plan vary
from misguided socialistic ideology, nefarious selfish interests, to
manipulative control over society, such as is envisioned by the UN, who is
longing to fulfil their dream of a global society and a one-world-government
under their control. Through their scheme OUR children will become THEIR
"human capital," which they will mold into uniformly benign pieces that fit
together to make up their Utopian, egalitarian society.

The pretext used by all the factions involved in this plot of
institutionalized "kidnaping" is the same: quite simply, they say, it is in
the best interests of the children, of the parents, of society, and the
future of all mankind. They say parents have not been reliable nurturers or
providers of adequate mental stimulus for optimum early childhood mind
development. In other words, the establishment says, parents don t know how
to best bring up their children, and the task must be turned over to the
"experts" and their scientifically regulated, impersonal child-rearing
institutions. That way, the state can inculcate its philosophy on future
generations and the will of the state will become the will of the people,
instead of the other way around.

The concept of the state raising the children is not new. It is a commonly
accepted socialistic concept that leads to a homogenized, egalitarian
society, without individual or collective conscience or moral fibre. Still,
the advocates of such a destructive scheme are steadily gaining ground.
Robert Muller, one-time Assistant Secretary General of the UN, proposed a
"World Core Curriculum" (WCC). His philosophy is based on the teachings set
forth in the books of Alice A. Bailey who was a leader in the Theosophical
Society and a disciple of the Russian born Helena P. Blavatsky, who was a
medium, and one of the founders of the Theosophical Society in the 1870s.
Muller's WCC is acclaimed by UNESCO and UNICEF. The concept of Muller's
teachings is to produce an egalitarian society, working cooperatively, in
harmony, and without competition or strife--without individual thought or
opinion. Most significantly, Muller looks to take away the student's early
childhood and family influence!

--replace it with a "global family." He suggests that education of a child
should start from birth and be oriented to the "macrocosm" and that early
family influences somehow promote "an egocentric mind set" and will result
in
a negative or undesirable outcome (in other words, the traditional family
must be abolished for the good of society).

An article explaining new findings on "how a child s brain develops and what
it means for child care and education" appeared in the June 9, 1997 issue of
"Time" magazine. That article helped to popularize the concept of
institutionalized "child-rearing farms." It points out that we live in an
age
where "mothers and fathers are increasingly pressed for time.. ." and that
the data in the study underscore "the importance of hands-on parenting . . .
and to provide infants with stimulating experiences." And the article points
out that child-development experts say "there is an urgent need for
preschool
programs designed to boost the brain power of youngsters born into
impoverished rural and inner-city households." The article provides the
ammunition for the next phase of the argument: that the state should take
over and implement institutionalized child rearing and training from
infancy.

Following along, right in line with the above article but independently, the
Harris Government found it politically helpful to call for a study on early
childhood learning. The report for the government, entitled "Early Years
Study," co-chaired by Margaret McCain and J. Fraser Mustard was released in
early 1999. Basically, the report stresses the importance of nurturing of
the
infant from birth, points out that parenting is not always adequate, and
that
"early child development and parenting centres" must be set up by the state.
Although, ostensibly, well intentioned, the report in its
recommendations leans heavily toward institutionalizing early childhood
learning, and offers no viable alternatives for the natural parents on how
to
improve their role as nurturers. The report stresses that children must be
stimulated and taught the right way long

IS THE UNITED NATIONS TRYING TO REVIVE COMMUNISM?

The United Nations, a corrupt and corrupting institution that grew out
of the
crackpot notion of an enlightened world government, doesn’t like the
direction in which the global economy is going. Its predictable
solution:
world government, with the U.N. in charge.

Ummm, no thanks.

The great economic problem in the world, according to a new report by
the
United Nations Development Programme, is that markets are just working
too
well.

Yes, you read that right: The U.N. thinks that the explosion of
worldwide
freedom that has followed the end of communism is no fair. This
explosion
goes by the name of "globalization," and it’s the purpose of the U.N.
report
to turn the word "globalization" into an epithet.

Competitive markets may guarantee efficiency, the U.N. report says, but
they
do not guarantee equality. In other words, eight years after Boris
Yeltsin
jumped on a tank and sealed the doom of the Soviet Union, some people
and
some countries are far richer than others - and that’s no fair!

"By the late 1990s," write the report’s authors, "the fifth of the
world’s
people living in the highest income countries had 86 percent of world
GDP and
the bottom fifth had just 1 percent."

No fair!

Though technology is providing the world with previously unimaginable
benefits, it’s not being used in the right way, according to the U.N.
Rather, it should be used for "eradicating poverty." Alas, that goal is
supposedly not on the agenda: "Cosmetic drugs and slow-ripening
tomatoes come
higher on the priority list than drought-resistant crops or a vaccine
against
malaria."

No fair!

You might think that amazing advances have already been made in the
world of
medicine in the United States when it comes to vaccines and drugs and
that
sort of thing, but the U.N. doesn’t dwell on those. When it condemns
the
refusal of "technology" to find "drought-resistant crops" it
conveniently
ignores the unbelievable bounty offered to the world by U.S.  scientist
Norman Borlaug and his "green revolution."

These technological improvements have all taken place because the U.S.
has a
free-market economy that offers spectacular rewards to those who figure
out
new ways and new techniques to improve the lives of those around them.
If
any country in the world is to develop a vaccine against malaria, it
will be
the United States - because the drug company that finds the vaccine
will
profit from it as a result.

But the backward-looking pseudo-intelligences behind the U.N. report
refuse
to see this. What they see is that technology is out of reach for the
poor,
and the laws governing patents do not pay enough attention to the
"knowledge
of indigenous people."

All these troubles, it seems, could be solved by the reinvention of
national
and global governance so that "human development and equity" is
foremost.

Because the current "institutions of international governance are
inadequate
for the challenges of the 21st century," the report suggests some new
ideas.
Topping the list, naturally, is a "stronger and more coherent United
Nations," followed by institutions like a world environmental agency
and a
world investment trust with redistributive functions.

A world ruled by people like those who wrote this report is a world
this
planet has known all too well, to its infinite sorrow. It’s a world of
bureaucrats who believe not in equality, but in egalitarianism, and
will
stifle everybody who disagrees. The centralization of power in the
hands of
these bureaucrats in the name of the "poor" leads inevitably to a
dictatorship in their name.

In other words, it’s communism all over again. Globalization is just
the new
word these neo-Communists are going to use now that capitalism sounds
good.

The good news is that ideas like these have had their day. The bad news
is
that the bureaucrats of the United Nations are still sitting on their
duffs
in that monstrosity on the East River, trying to figure out ways to
enhance
their roles in the world.

There’s a lot of talk about how the United States owes a lot to the
United
Nations in the form of "arrears" for its "dues" - money the U.N. needs
to
support efforts like this noxious report. The very fact that this
report
exists should be reason enough for Republicans in the House and Senate
to see
to it that this ideological cesspool of an organization receives not
even so
much as a Lincoln penny.

Post Number 240: Constitution
The Constitution.  How many times have I heard that term.  Hard to begin
to think of the total number of times.  And what is even harder to
believe is how many times I have thought that I had "the Constitution"
figured out.  Maybe I do now, although I would not bet my freedom on it!

The simple fact of the matter is that none of us were present when the
arrangements for the Constitution were finalized.  We do not know what
the planning was for it, nor do we understand all of the secret meetings
that undoubtedly took place around the conception and introduction of
the Constitution.  But, we can accurately measure the intent of the
Constitution by simply looking at what the result of the Constitution
has been; it has created a class of people who are not answerable for
their actions.  To understand that, I give you Bill and Hillary Clinton,
and their side-kick, Al Gore.  Al Gore gave everyone the answer that we
have been looking for.  Seven times, 7 TIMES!  On national television,
during the press conference when he was being questioned about his role
in the illegal phone calls soliciting campaign donations from the White
House, he told the nation that "there is no controlling legal
authority."  Perhaps Al Gore knows something that most Americans are
only dimly, if at all, aware of.

What Al Gore revealed is the original reason for the Constitution.  He
revealed that within the Constitution is a series of provisions which
would put the European system of royal privilege and private law back in
place in America.  This would be accomplished by creating a separate
jurisdiction where there is no controlling legal authority.  For
reference, read Article I, Section 8, Clause 17:
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such
District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of
particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of
the government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over
all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in
which the same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals,
dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;

and this is the case law (from 1804) which explains what this clause is
all about:
In Downes v. Bidwell, the Supreme Court ruled that "exclusive" meant
exactly that; EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction, with no control from the
Constitution.  (In Downes v. Bidwell, the Court ruled that "exclusive"
meant "without consideration of the Constitutional restraints...")  A
few years later, the Supreme Court confirmed this ruling in Hooven v.
Evatt,

But this is all information that I explain in Part II of my Series, so,
I suggest that you read it.  This Post, however, is for new information;
information that is designed to lift more of the scales from our eyes.
And remember, as you read this, the Esquires that you deal with,
voluntarily, can not and will not explain this material to you.  They
can not, for their privileges depend upon keeping this information
carefully hidden.  In addition, if you attempt to take this information
into their private courts, you will lose.  Their private courts are not
for you; they are for government employees, and for subjects of
Congress.  If you are subject to their courts, you can not own land, nor
can you be protected by the restrictions written into the Bill of
Rights.  And you do owe the so-called Income Tax, so, prepare to pay up.

Another reason for this Post is the simple one; there is a solution to
what is happening to America, but it is an individual solution, and not
a group or national solution.  Within America are two separate, distinct
jurisdictions, and the original provisions for the Constitution
permitted the common people to voluntarily chose whether or not they
wanted to be associated with Commerce, and hence with the privileges of
the King, or preferred to be free.  The choice is yours, and the
solution is available.  The largest part of this solution is giving
enough Americans the answers so that those who chose this solution are
no longer considered weird, different or, as is promoted by the major
media, dangerous.  We simply wish to be left alone, which does not suit
the parasites of man's government well at all!  And it is only by this
education process that any progress will be made in controlling the
monster that the so-called government has become.

Knowing that this Post was coming is why, to those on the List Groups, I

 do not guarantee equality. In other words, eight years after Boris
 Yeltsin
 jumped on a tank and sealed the doom of the Soviet Union, some people
 and
 some countries are far richer than others - and that’s no fair!

 "By the late 1990s," write the report’s authors, "the fifth of the
 world’s
 people living in the highest income countries had 86 percent of world
 GDP and
 the bottom fifth had just 1 percent."

 No fair!

 Though technology is providing the world with previously unimaginable
 benefits, it’s not being used in the right way, according to the U.N.
 Rather, it should be used for "eradicating poverty." Alas, that goal is
 supposedly not on the agenda: "Cosmetic drugs and slow-ripening
 tomatoes come
 higher on the priority list than drought-resistant crops or a vaccine
 against
 malaria."

 No fair!

 You might think that amazing advances have already been made in the
 world of
 medicine in the United States when it comes to vaccines and drugs and
 that
 sort of thing, but the U.N. doesn’t dwell on those. When it condemns
 the
 refusal of "technology" to find "drought-resistant crops" it
 conveniently
 ignores the unbelievable bounty offered to the world by U.S.  scientist
 Norman Borlaug and his "green revolution."

 These technological improvements have all taken place because the U.S.
 has a
 free-market economy that offers spectacular rewards to those who figure
 out
 new ways and new techniques to improve the lives of those around them.
 If
 any country in the world is to develop a vaccine against malaria, it
 will be
 the United States - because the drug company that finds the vaccine
 will
 profit from it as a result.

 But the backward-looking pseudo-intelligences behind the U.N. report
 refuse
 to see this. What they see is that technology is out of reach for the
 poor,
 and the laws governing patents do not pay enough attention to the
 "knowledge
 of indigenous people."

 All these troubles, it seems, could be solved by the reinvention of
 national
 and global governance so that "human development and equity" is
 foremost.

 Because the current "institutions of international governance are
 inadequate
 for the challenges of the 21st century," the report suggests some new
 ideas.
 Topping the list, naturally, is a "stronger and more coherent United
 Nations," followed by institutions like a world environmental agency
 and a
 world investment trust with redistributive functions.

 A world ruled by people like those who wrote this report is a world
 this
 planet has known all too well, to its infinite sorrow. It’s a world of
 bureaucrats who believe not in equality, but in egalitarianism, and
 will
 stifle everybody who disagrees. The centralization of power in the
 hands of
 these bureaucrats in the name of the "poor" leads inevitably to a
 dictatorship in their name.

 In other words, it’s communism all over again. Globalization is just
 the new
 word these neo-Communists are going to use now that capitalism sounds
 good.

 The good news is that ideas like these have had their day. The bad news
 is
 that the bureaucrats of

COME AND GET ME, OCTOPUS!
KEITH CO-AUTHOR RESUMES COLUMN

Commentary by Kenn Thomas
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


"If Fate should break my stride, I'll give you my Vincent to ride..." -
Richard Thompson, 1952, Vincent Black Lightning.


I don't know if I came to the Richard Thompson concert along the Mississippi
riverfront this past weekend to help with closure over Jim Keith's death,
but these words went a long way in that direction. Jim may have died
pursuing the pregnancy angle of the Princess Diana story, and Thompson - a
folk rock legend, founder of Fairport Convention, revered for his words - is
a particularly smart-ass limey. He mugged a Woody Guthrie bit, singing,
"This land is your land, this land is your land, this land is your land..."
Thompson is also a Sufi mystic, and the sources of Jim's final column for
Nitro News about Diana were Sufi.


Coincidences, of course, but I confess a sentimental attachment to
coincidences, and a more than unconscious desire to fit my experience over
the death of Jim Keith into an understandable pattern. He's gone, and all
that's left are his books, which for the fortunate reader, provide a
perspective on history, on conspiracy, on what's happening right now and in
the future, as rare and unique as the '52 Vincent in the Thompson song.


I co-authored the Octopus with Jim Keith, and have now agreed to resume his
column exclusively in Nitro News, in part as defiance against the Octopus,
if that vicious beast had anything to with it. In this regard, I would like
to repeat the part of the Keith column that rumor suggests led to him being
offed:


"In 1998, one of my Sufi contacts, who chooses to remain anonymous,
travelled to London to participate in Dhikr, a remembrance of Allah. This
ritual was attended by both Sufis and orthodox Muslims. My contact reports
that while participating in this ceremony, he met Dodi Fayed's personal
physician, a man who is a Muslim, but is not a Sufi. In private
conversation, the physician told him that Diana and Dodi Fayed had planned
on getting married, and that he had personally examined her and determined
that she was pregnant."


There, Octopus. Come after me. I don't have the name of the physician, but
if it is with Jim's research and if it comes into my hands, I'll out him
right away. That's what we did with Danny Casolaro's research, taking
everything that was left and finishing his book. It has become a relay race
of conspiracy writers, trying to get out the truth about this nasty
transglobal monster before it takes us down. Maybe it's a monster of our
imagining. Maybe Jim died of just a blood clot, although the anecdotal
information I've accumulated suggests this is very rare. In lieu of a real
investigation (still needed, although I was unsuccessful in raising money to
fly to Reno for the purpose), we can only guess. In any event, I will not go
quietly, and Jim cannot pass through this life without those questions being
asked and pursued as best as possible.


Readers unfamiliar with my work should know that I travel and lecture
widely, appear regularly on radio and TV throughout the country, and I
publish the conspiracy magazine Steamshovel Press. Jim parked his '52
Vincent at the Steamshovel offices on occasion, and it's still being used
for the car pool.


The Steamshovel take on Diana has been that she was collateral damage in an
aerospace espionage hit against Dodi Fayed for the sake of the Al Yamama
contract umbrella. The Saudis buy substandard military aircraft with loans
from Britain that cover far more than the cost. Mohamed Al-Fayed posed a
threat to this arrangement, particularly with his support of Tony Blair, and
he was sent a message about it via the killing of his son.


The consequent death of Diana, of course, served many ancillary purposes of
the British Royals, including its racist concerns over the pregnancy. One
suspected architect of the Dodi Fayed hit is his uncle, Adnan Khashoggi, who
spent much of his career developing the Al Yamama contracts. Danny Casolaro
was investigating him on the very day he (Casolaro) was found dead.


Mohamed Al-Fayed remains resolute in his determination to find out what
really happened to his son. In a recent BBC interview, primarily intended to
goad him into making inflammatory statements about the Royals, he made these
interesting remarks:


"Al-Fayed: I hate nobody. I just want to find justice.


BBC: But you have contempt for the Establishment, they have refused you
British citizenship.


Al-Fayed: I don't care about that, it is not important to me.


BBC: You used to care about it.


Al-Fayed: The way my son has been murdered, because I can't get to the
truth, I can't get killers because you cover yourselves with Official Secret
Acts...


BBC: Do you not feel that you owe it to Diana's family, to her sons, who we
are

***Idea of the Week: A New Bargain for Public Schools***

Most federal aid to education has been traditionally based
on an old bargain that no longer works: Washington offers
money to states and school districts based on need, and then
micro-manage how it is used, with little or no attention to
what it produces in the way of educational results.  While it
has done much good to offset the financial inequities
inherent in schools due to widely varying local revenue
bases, it has also rewarded failure as often as success.  That
is why the disparities in education levels between poor and
middle- or upper-class Americans--that justified federal aid
to education to begin with--are getting worse, not better, at
precisely the time when education and skills loom larger
than ever as a factor determining individual opportunity.

This year's reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA)--the primary vehicle for
federal aid--offers Congress the chance to reinvent federal
education policy for the Information Age.  In addition, there
is finally a legislative package on the horizon that would
accomplish the kind of dramatic shift in strategies the
country needs: DLC Chairman Sen. Joe Lieberman's (D-
CT) Public Education, Reinvestment, Reinvention, and
Reinvigoration Act

Lieberman's "Three R's" bill (along with a House
counterpart that Rep. Harold Ford (D-TN) intends to offer)
is based in large part on the Progressive Policy Institute's
report, Toward Performance-Based Federal Education
Funding, by Andrew Rotherham, President Clinton's
Special Assistant for Education Policy.  In some respects, it
is a more sweeping variation on the Clinton
Administration's proposal to link federal education aid to
accountability for educational results.  It also draws on
bipartisan proposals from the Governors to provide greater
flexibility in administering federal education funds by
consolidating a variety of programs.  More fundamentally,
it redefines the federal role in education and offers states
and poor school districts a new bargain: strong federal
support and broad administrative flexibility in exchange for
a commitment to reform, innovation, and the achievement
of measurable results in closing the gap between good and
bad public schools.
Lieberman's "Three R's" plan would:

--Reconfigure the Title I compensatory education program
for disadvantaged students by increasing the targeting of
funds to the poorest schools, requiring steady progress
toward the goal of ensuring math and reading proficiency
for all children, demanding radical action to improve or
close poor-performing schools, and raising overall funding
by more than 50 percent.

--Consolidate teacher training programs into one grant
focused on raising the quality of teaching as well as the
quantity of qualified teachers, with strict performance
standards.

--Streamline bilingual education programs while making it
clear the goal of bilingual instruction is to achieve student
proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English.

--Strengthen federal efforts to provide parental choice
among public schools, including universal--information on
school, student and teacher performance, school safety,
access to technology, and physical conditions; while
encouraging more performance-based "charter" schools.
Consolidate all other K-12 programs into a single fund that
would encourage innovation and --experimentation on a
broad array of educational challenges.

--Introduce a regime of accountability throughout all
federal education programs that would reward success and
punish failure according to simple performance measures.

In effect, Lieberman's bill combines the best ideas for
improving public school performance from every direction.
But it does not endorse the dubious logic of Republican
schemes that demand accountability without standards for
public schools, and no accountability at all for private
schools receiving public funds.

If lawmakers in both parties believe half of what they say
about the critical importance of improved education in an
Information Age global economy, they should get behind
Lieberman's bill as an urgent priority.

 The Goat of Mendes

  The practice of
magic -- either white or
  black -- depends upon
the ability of the
  adept to control the
universal life force
  -- that which Eliphas
Levi calls the great
  magical agent or the
astral light [A:.A:.
  / "orgone" /
whatever -B:.B:.]. By the
  manipulation of this
fluidic essence the
   phenomena of
transcendentalism are
  produced. The famous
Hermaphroditic
Goat of Mendes was a
composite
creature formulated
to symbolize
this astral light.
It is identical with
Baphomet, the mystic
pantheos of
   those disciples of
ceremonial magic,
   the Templars, who
probably obtained
it from the
Arabians.

Following are some observations -- both pro and con -- regarding the highly
secretive and oft misunderstood fraternity known as the Knights
Templars.

The first batch of quotes comes from Manley P. Hall's 1988 master- piece,
"The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopaedic Outline of
Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy" (ISBN
0-89314-830-X) and the remainder reflect the painstaking research
of one William Bramley in his epic Paradigm-Buster "The Gods of Eden" (Avon
Books, ISBN 0-380-71807-3).
