The None Dare Call It Conspiracy book is by Gary Allen, who Reagan told to ,

Schwartz warned of in 1962: You can trust the

Yes, this is an excellent expose` and a small book written in 1962, as
you
noted, that is cram packed with valuable information; especially to those
who do not seem to believe that "Communism" exists or ever did exist...
Another book to follow this one is called...
"None Dare Call It Conspiracy",
which I am at a loss at the moment to draw up the author's name,
(and my copy is on loan).
Tsadowq commented:
if the Communists are to succeed.
It is not a matter of "IF"... the Communists are to succeed as much
as
the fact that they have succeeded in destroying all that has made
capitalism
and the USA a super power in the world.
Politcally, for example, the traditional family bond has been broken;
there
are more divorces and single family homes in the USA today than ever
before,
as the courts continue to adopt laws that make it 'easy' to get a divorce
and leave untold thousands of children without two parents and many
without
support. Another political fallacy is that there is a "war on drugs". The
only war that exists in this category is the one the gov 't has created to
make us believe there is this ongoing internal war. *IF* this country
had
really wanted to do something about what is perceived as a "drug" problem
among the populace, it would have been quashed back in the days of the
psychedelic era or before. This country is not so weak that it could not
have handled this problem among it's citizens long ago. This country's
hired propa-ganders want us to believe that there is a drug war and in
continuum, keeps the lie going... to the point of providing the scenario
to
appear that it is true. Notice, we have the "war on drugs", the "war on
poverty", the "war on mental illness", "war on guns", etc., etc. There
are so many internal specified wars going on that it's a wonder that the
Administration of this country can even think straight... And, there is
so
much talk of "peace, peace" to resolve all these internal "wars" within
this country, muchless in foreign councils.
Economically, for example, OPEC countries are aided by Communists to
flourish or demand higher barrel prices which are handed down to the
consumer at the pump... we all know this from the past few weeks of
rising
gasoline prices, and previous stats that can prove out the rising prices
during the processes of certain world issues. Stocks are driven up or
down
with investments funded by those of this Communistic mindset to keep our
heads spinning in confusion.
Educationally... well we all know that the NEA is infamous the past
thirty
years for their agenda to 'dumb down' it's students. Scholastically
speaking, the national ACT scores are lower than they've ever been. The
national TPE (Teacher's Proficiency Exams) are lower than they've ever
been... and the government wants to pay teachers more(!) (For what?
Ignorance and lack of ability to teach...?) Proof again, that children
are
not being taught what the system ultimately demands; a contrary set of
standards. No wonder kids come out of high school dazed and confused.
Religiously... there has never been more division among religious beliefs
than there are now. All the way from atheism to Judaism to Catholicism,
to
Christianity. The defining lines are drawn more clearly day by day...
In 1958, Nikita Kruchev and other comrads of the same 'ilk' set an agenda
to destroy the US from the inside out. Nearly all 38 tenents of that
agenda
have been accomplished by those who call themselves "liberals" ... in the
name of peace and justice.
It's only a matter of time, before the liberal realizes that the empire
he's built has been built on slippery sand and not on solid rock.

[CTRL] Hillary's Holocaust
New York Press - January 21, 2000Is Waco Investigator Onto Something Or Off His Rocker?Will New York Voters Care?Hillary's Holocaustby Jim Knipfel John StrausbaughLast August, after six years of denial, Janet Reno made the astonishing public admission that the FBI had indeed used incendiary gas canisters during the siege of Waco in 1993. It's unlikely ever to be determined whether these devices had anything to do with starting the fires that roared through the Branch Davidians' Mt. Carmel, killing more than 80 people, including 17 children. The fact remains that the FBI covered up the use of these devices; when asked by a reporter in August if she was "embarrassed" to have been "misled" by the agency for six years, Reno replied, through clenched teeth, no, she was not embarrassed, she was "very, very upset."In quite a large part, she had Michael McNulty to thank (or blame) for that. McNulty is the chief researcher and a coproducer of two documentaries, the 1997 Waco: The Rules of Engagement and the follow-up Waco: A New Revelation, previewed for Washington press and politicians in November. He's the man who discovered the gas canisters in question while going through the Waco evidence vaults in Austin last March. It was primarily his dogged, obsessive-in another context one might say fanatical-probing of the government's role in the Waco catastrophe that forced Reno's stunning admission.On Sept. 1, in another surprising move, Reno sent federal marshals into FBI headquarters to impound Waco documents the agency had been withholding. A week later, she appointed John Danforth, the former Republican senator from Missouri, to conduct an independent investigation of the agency's actions in 1993.Now, six months later, embroiled in that investigation, reopened congressional probes and a multimillion-dollar wrongful death suit brought by surviving Branch Davidians, the government is being asked to admit more-much more. McNulty's new film asserts that in addition to Texas Rangers, FBI and ATF officers, the siege of Waco may have been carried out by a U.S. Army assault team. That some of this team may have shot down civilians trying to flee the conflagration inside, and set explosive charges that massacred others.And that the trail of evidence for this operation leads, as McNulty puts it, "from the fields of Waco" through the FBI to the Justice Dept., from there to Vince Foster in the White House-and from him to First Lady Hillary Clinton, unofficially a candidate for the U.S. Senate in New York state.And there it stops cold.When we met with McNulty at New York Press' offices this weekend, he was quick to claim that while it may pique the interest of New York voters, Hillary's possible Waco connection "is not the central focus of the film. The focus of the film is the militarization of civilian law enforcement, and what that means. Well, in the extreme it could mean you could get dead without ever standing in front of a judge and jury. This abortion of due process is what every New Yorker should be very concerned about. When that happens, and the ATF or the DEA raids, and it's the wrong house, and this poor old man jumps up with his revolver and is blasted away because these creeps kicked his door down and he had no idea who they were, that's the issue... That's why New Yorkers should be concerned. Next time it's an office building on 5th Ave."McNulty's a controversial character. Waco: The Rules of Engagement was widely heralded as one of the most important documentary films of the 1990s. Screened at Sundance and shown on HBO, it won an Emmy and an international documentary award, and was nominated for an Oscar. More importantly, it rekindled public interest in the government's role at Waco, a tragedy many had concluded was just another Jonestown, just another mass suicide of deluded cultists and their fanatical leader.For his efforts, McNulty's been written off by the mainstream media as an amateur and-in his words-"a conspiracy theorist who got lucky." He's been denounced by both the far right-where folks like Linda Thompson, a real right-wing conspiracy theorist, says he's a dupe of government disinformation-and the left, where the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group with its own axes and agendas, has accused him of fueling right-wing extremists' hatred of the government.His compulsion to keep following the Waco story caused a falling-out with the team who made the first film with him; this time out, working with a new director and coproducers, he seems very much the frontman and spokesman. He clearly enjoys the public forum. A man of deeply held conservative convictions, he's prone to go off occasionally on patriotic speeches that would ring a lot of alarms if he aired them at an Upper West Side cocktail party.Ten years ago, McNulty was a Vietnam vet selling insurance in Southern California. (He has since relocated to Ft. Collins, CO.) In

For those with too much time on their hands and/or a fascination with the far right I "recommend" tuning in via your Real Audio Player or WinAmp (better sound quality, sexier looking interface) to the broadcasts of the Rev. James Wickstrom in Pennsylvania who is a big Posse Comitatus figure. The last broadcast I listened to (they are archived natch) had the Ezra Pound buddy, Eustace Mullins from a few weeks ago. Mullins claimed he was the first to use the phrase "Zionist Occupation Government" in the early 1950's. I've always wanted to read The Cantos of Pound, Mullins has a biography. He also has a # of books of which , "The Secrets Of The Federal Reserve, " gets cited often in these circles (and Mullins complained that bootleg editions are depriving him of residuals ) Even further out is the work of Richard Kelly Hoskins, very prolific, has his own vanity press, the Virginia Publishing Co. (???). Many works on currency manipulation, etc. and other staples of far right conspiracy theory circles. Buford Furrow, Jr. had a copy of his, "War Cycles, " book in his van after the San Fernando Valley Jewish Day Care Center shootings. As an aside, what does Chip or anyone else know about these folks that tout a book called, "Votescam, " that alleges a giant conspiracy involving all the TV networks, polling orgs., county registrar of voters, and probably Santa Claus too, in rigging elections here in the good ol' USA. I came across a site called Network America recently from these loons out of Wyoming I think that goes into great depth on this. Sorry to say it reminds me of lefties who take the "Manufacturing Consent" model way too far to explain away the failures of left-liberalism/pwoggieism electoral initiatives and races for elected office to get the at least the 50 % plus one needed to win from the electorate. Go to freereplic.com and you'll finf lots of folks who rail against what they see as a rigged game including everyone from the Conservative and Liberal Establishment to deny them the fruits of their victory. They really believe that all elections are stolen. I traded a few e-mails with an Arizona Patriot who knows Jack McLamb, the author of "Vampire Killer Police State 2000, " who ran for county sheriff outside of Phoenix, and, natch, after that "landslide" for McLamb started coming in the computer at the Registrar of Voters crashed.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- I've done before with this way out of date list that Bard got from some website that hasn't updated its stuff for years. I'm gonna from the top of my head put a ? mark beside each official that has been gone from the Clinton admin. since, in some of the cases on this list, befor the end of Clinton's first term as President. This sloppy research doesn't inspire much confidence that other aspects of this run of the mill screed against the CFR and the Trilats is worth much. I'd recommend instead, Holly Sklar book published by South End Press in the early 80's called, I think, (and too lazy right now to do a amazon.com) , "The Trilateral Commission and Elite Plans For World Dominence." On CFR, Larry Shoup, " Imperial Brain Trust, " Monthly Review Press, mid 1970's. Shoup also authored a great book on Carter and the Trilats, "The Carter Presidency And Beyond, " Ramparts Press. Now for the question marks after the way out of date stuff. And I'll put a ?? after the non-govt. types like the figures in the media that are long dead. And on the Rockefellers check out the biography of the whole family and its influence, "The Rockefellers, " Peter Collier and David Horowitz. And for something specific on one Rockefeller and Evangelical Christian BS there is a book I'll find out the title of and report on Sunday after I pick up a copy.

Listening to the song by The Who that has the refrain, "Same as the Old Boss!" a little too much. Keep on fighting on, I'm not a pollyanna optimist but, defeatism only plays into the hands of the ruling class. Oh and there is a right wing neo-classical economist by the name of Pareto, who was pro-Mussolini, that expressed the idea you're driving at. He called it "The circulation of the elites." i.e. the party may change but the economic elites always come out on top whatever the politicos do, and which particular faction they come from.

See if your library has any book by Norman Solomon, Robert McChesney, Jeff

centralization of media assets in corporate capitalist megaliths, reinforce
existing patterns of powerlessness among the underlying subordinate classes
i.e you and me and everyone else who doesn't own a printing press (well the
internet is a partial grabbing back of our alienated powers) and/or a chunk
of a Fortune 500 corp. When the top 1% owns 40% of the productive assets,
the top 10 % owns 95 %, and the rest of us suckers , in the "bottom" 90%
fight over the rest of the rest, and those bourgeois f**ks
at the very top of the class pyramid owns

Conspiracy is perhaps the most amorphous area in Anglo-American criminal law. [ http://www.britannica.com - free at last. ] For the sake of simple beginnings, the footnote where we agreed to start is in reference to a letter: The "Prince Barnard of The Netherlands Letter", by Marshall McLuhan, 14 May, 1969; sent to their Royal Highness, Prince Barnard, in appreciation for McLuhan's invitation to address the Bilderberg Conference. How did you characterize this letter? Well, it's the 'Ur' letter; for exposing people to thoughts of McLuhan that are not popularized through Wired Magazine, or any other media coverage that ever was done of McLuhan. This shows you a level of thinking that Marshall worked from, that's just not known. So, it always initiates people into a basic point of McLuhan; giving you a jumping off point for understanding why he said what he said. [ Bob Dobbs, http://anw.com/RK/natives.htm ] This problem has been discussed elsewhere. It is also clear that elite networks (possibly with an associative function of significance equal to, if not greater than, many formal bodies) escape attention. The tip of the iceberg is signalled, for example, by the Bilderberg Group, the Club of Rome, the Club of Dakar, etc. The problem of associative networks within and between intergovernmental bodies [that] has not received attention. To what extent is the associative activity behind the "Inter-Agency Games" merely of anecdotal significance, given the problems of inter-agency coordination ? Why has the "good" associative activity received all the attention and never been related to the "bad": trade associations-cum-cartels, intelligence networks, subversive-cum-revolutionary "organisations", international crime "rings" and networks, etc ? [ http://www.uia.org/uiadocs/assfut.htm ] What goes on at Bilderberg? - It is important at the outset to distinguish the active, on-going membership from the various people who are occasionally invited to attend. Many of those invited to come along, perhaps to report on matters pertaining to their expertise, have little idea there is a formally constituted group at all, let alone one with its own *grand* agenda. [* added] Hence the rather dismissive remarks by people like sixties media guru Marshall McLuhan, who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1969 in Denmark, that he was 'nearly suffocated at the banality and irrelevance,' describing them as 'uniformly nineteenth century minds pretending to relate to the twentieth century'. Another of those who have attended, Christopher Price, then Labour MP for Lewisham West, found it 'all very fatuous icing on the cake with nothing to do with the cake.' (Eringer 1980, p. 26). Denis Healey, on the other hand, who was in from the beginning and later acted as British convenor, says that 'the most valuable [meetings] to me while I was in opposition were the Bilderberg Conferences'. (Healey 1990, p. 195) [ http://www.tlio.demon.co.uk/bildhist.htm ] "For 42 years," Deverell reported, "the secretive organization has devoted itself to strengthening the Atlantic military alliance and economies. [..] There are no massive indiscretions, but the exchanges can be quite heated." This is a polite way of saying that members can secretly speak their minds about whatever grandiose schemes of world conquest they envision themselves as having the divine right to execute, without fearing that their words will ever be heard by the public. This tactic is very similar to the Non-Attribution Rule used at Council on Foreign Relations meetings, which prevents statements made by attendees from being reported in the media. Many media CEOs, news anchors and influential members of the press fill seats in the CFR. [Not to speak about soon to become presidents] As far as global politics and finance go, the Bilderberg is the top of the pyramid, the all-seeing eye gazing upon the construction of a New World Order . This one-world system of governance, lurking in the shadows cast by flowery language about our new "global village," will transfer nearly all economic and political power into the hands of a small

[CTRL] Millenium Round of the WTO under fire ...... from both left and right
"Millenium Round" of the WTO under fire ... ... from both left and right by Alain Kessi When in May last year the World Trade Organization organized its second Ministerial Conference in Geneva eight thousand people took to the streets in Geneva, and tens of thousands world-wide in decentralized actions in order to protest against the power relations that the WTO helps imposing.[1] Some of the strategists of deregulation seem to be shaking with the shock. When on 23 September of the same year UN representatives and top managers of corporations met at the Geneva Business Dialogue, Helmut Maucher - President of the ICC-WBO (International Chamber of Commerce / World Business Organization) and Chairman of the Board of Nestlé -, who had called the meeting, felt obliged to castigate the protests - whose organizers "would do well to seek legitimacy" - and call on the state governments to fulfil their policing duties. Now it seems like things might get even better in Seattle where from 30 November to 3 December the third Ministerial Conference is going to take place. Already in the preparation phase the WTO is struggling with problems of legitimacy. "All you have to do is read the newspaper to know that the anti-WTO forces have been more effective, thus far, than we have," laments Scot Montrey, spokesman for the U.S. Alliance for Trade Expansion, a US coordination of large corporations.[2] Michael Dolan, who is coorganizing the protests and is a deputy director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, a group founded by Ralph Nader, rejoices: "I was thrilled when Seattle was selected," said. "It's almost like they're giving us home-field advantage."[3] A whole range of activities are planned around the Ministerial Conference by radical left and progressive grassroots groups, NGOs and trade unions: from street theater and actions of civil disobedience all the way to large demonstrations. Kept at a distance by the aforementioned organizers, but nevertheless quite present in the weeks leading up to the protests are extreme-right Republicans as well as conservative environmental organizations with essentialist lines of argument like the Sierra Club. While the Republicans demand - just like the radical left - that the US government leave the WTO, the Sierra Club wants - like the established leftist NGOs - that "civil society", meaning themselves, be given a place in the decision-making process of the WTO. The blurring of the difference between left-wing and right-wing approaches is especially visible in Seattle. The city council has declared a MAI-free zone (MAI - Multilateral Agreement on Investment) on the city territory. The symbolic anti-globalization measure was proposed by Brian Derdowski, Republican member of the King County council, where another such zone has been implemented.[4] On a US-wide level John Talbott, spokesperson for the Reform Party, does not see much difference between Ralph Nader on the left and Pat Buchanan on the right when they talk about globalization, and proposes that a new party be created that is neither right nor left, but created to represent the hard-working average American. In this he closes his eyes on Pat Buchanan's racist, sexist and homophobic attitude. The latter's right-wing "producerist"[5] populism refers to a hard-working productive middle class and working class being squeezed from above and below by "lazy social parasites".[6] What has gone awry, if one of the greatest leftist mobilizations of the past years - the one against "free" trade, against "globalization", against "transnational corporations" and especially against the MAI - is so attractive for right-wing conservative groups? In June 1999 the Dutch antiracist group De Fabel van de illegaal, whose work had greatly contributed to building a strong movement against the MAI, decided to leave the campaigns against "free trade". "After taking a closer look we concluded that to take 'free trade' as a primary target is not a logical choice based on a radical Left analysis, but instead comes more from a New Right analysis," the group explained in an open letter in September 1999. A year before that already, in October 1998, they had published a first discussion paper: "With 'New Right' against Globalization?"[7] They followed it up with a series of articles dealing with the weaknesses of the discourse on "globalization" and "free trade" as well as with people serving as intermediaries between left-wing and right-wing activists and groups. In his analysis of the crisis of antiracism, Pierre-André Taguieff describes the appropriation of leftist discourses by the neoracists as retorsion (not in the sense of revenge, but in a slightly less common French meaning of the use of an argument against its author)[8] This raises the question of when a leftist discourse is open to retorsion. Or the other way around: How would a discourse have to be structured
[CTRL] What Is Globalization Anyway?
[A ZNet daily commentaryhttp://www.zmag.org/ZSustainers/ZDaily/1999-11/26henwood.htm]Nov 26, 1999What Is Globalization Anyway? By Doug HenwoodIf there's one thing that analysts and activists across the political spectrum agree on today it's that we live in an era of economic globalization. This is taken by both critics and cheerleaders as self-evident and largely unprecedented. We should think twice about this consensus.The concept that has now entered daily speech as "globalization" is both exaggerated and misspecified. It's described as an innovation, when it's not; it's described as a weakening of the state, though it's been led by states and multistate institutions like the IMF; it's been indicted as the major reason for downward pressure on U.S. living standards, even though most of us work in services, which are largely exempt from international competition; and it's been greeted as an evil in itself, as if there were no virtue to cosmopolitanism.Let me expand a bit on each of my opening claims. First, the novelty of "globalization." One of my problems with this term is that it often serves as a euphemizing and imprecise substitute for imperialism. From the first, capitalism has been an international and internationalizing system. After the breakup of the Roman Empire, Italian bankers devised complex foreign exchange instruments to evade Church prohibitions on interest. Those bankers' cross-border capital flows moved in tandem with trade flows. And, with 1492 began the slaughter of the First Americans and with it the plunder of the hemisphere. That act of primitive accumulation, along with the enslavement of Africans and the colonization of Asia, made Europe's takeoff possible.Not only is the novelty of "globalization" exaggerated, so is its extent. Capital flows were freer, and foreign holdings by British investors far larger, 100 years ago than anything we see today. Images of multinational corporations shuttling raw materials and parts around the world, as if the whole globe were an assembly line, are grossly overblown, accounting for only about a tenth of U.S. trade. Ditto trade penetration in general. Take one measure, exports as a share of GDP. By that measure, Britain was only a bit more globalized in 1992 than it was in 1913, and the United States today isn't a match for either. Japan, widely seen as the trade monster, exported only a little larger share of its national product than did Britain in 1950, a rather provincial year. Mexico was more internationalized in 1913 it than was in 1992. Exports are just one indicator, for sure, but by this measure, the distance between now and 1870 or 1913 isn't as great as it might seem.Indeed, it's probably more fruitful to think of the present period as a return to a pre-World War I style of capitalism rather than something unprecedented, and to rethink the Golden Age of the 1950s and 1960s not as some sort of norm from which the last 25 years have been some perverse exception, but the Golden Age itself as the exception.Another thing that must be rethought is the role of the state, which we constantly hear is withering away under a new regime of stateless multinational. While there's no question that the state's positive role has been either sharply reduced or under sharp attack, its negative/disciplinary role has grown. In the U.S., we've experienced a mad, cruel incarceration boom, accompanied by increased snooping and behavioral prescriptions. Elsewhere, the neoliberal project has been imposed by states, whether we're talking about the Maastricht process of European union, or structural adjustment in the so-called Third World - states acting in the interests of private capital, of course, but that's the way states have been acting for centuries. And, over the last 20 years, we've seen an almost entirely new role for the state, preventing financial accidents from turning into massive deflationary collapses - our SL bailout of the 1980s, far from being unique, was replicated in scores of countries around the world, most extravagantly in Mexico right now, where a massively expensive (and controversial) bank bailout is underway.OK, so what about pressure on living standards? We First Worlders have to be very careful here, since, as I argued earlier, the initial European rise to wealth depended largely on the colonies, and while we can argue about the exact contribution of neocolonialism to the maintenance of First World privilege, it's certainly greater than zero. It was embarrassing to hear Ralph Nader and the Fair Trade Campaign describe NAFTA and the World Trade Organization as threats to U.S. sovereignty, echoing the rhetoric of Pat Buchanan; Washington has been abusing Mexican sovereignty for over a century - which is why it's a good idea to stop saying globalization when you mean imperialism.But I'm not going to deny that plant relocations to Mexico and outsourcing contracts

[CTRL] Urban Warrior Advanced Warfighting Experiment
news March 10, 1999 news | a+e | sf life | extra | sfbg.com One nation under guardThe Marine Corps is making plans to take over U.S. cities during popular insurrections. They're practicing in Oakland next week. By Gar Smith FORGET THE MIDDLE EAST. Forget Kosovo. The United States Marine Corps is convinced that its next major invasion may take place on the west coast of the United States. That's right: the marines are preparing to put down an insurrection in a major American city -- say, San Francisco, or Seattle, or Los Angeles. They'll be practicing in Oakland March 15-18. The marines say the exercise, dubbed Urban Warrior Advanced Warfighting Experiment, is designed to teach the armed forces how to distribute humanitarian aid to a big city after a disaster. But a Bay Guardian review of hundreds of pages of military documents, obtained through public records requests, from the Marine Corps' Web site, and from the Alameda County Public Library, reveals a very different mission. Also in this issue: Sending in the troops East Bay city leaders rush to approve Urban Warrior over protests from neighbors and environmentalists Disturbing the peace This isn't the first time the military has practiced war games in U.S. cities Stop the Urban Warrior invasion The Marine Corps' plans for the invasion reveal that Urban Warrior is designed to give marines practice in seizing control of urban areas -- including taking over food and water supplies, utilities, and communications systems. And statements and articles by military leaders suggest that the armed forces are preparing themselves to contain popular uprisings -- including uprisings in U.S. cities. The use of military troops to quell civilian unrest is not unprecedented. But Urban Warrior represents a dramatic escalation in the potential use of the military on American soil -- and nobody in the local or national news media seems to have noticed. Though San Francisco is no longer slated to serve as the marines' laboratory, the Oakland political establishment, led by Mayor Jerry Brown, is rolling out the red carpet for the troops. Four days of mock fighting, including the firing of 24,000 blank rounds, have been scheduled to take place at Oakland's abandoned Oak Knoll Naval Hospital. The guns will open fire at 7:30 in the morning and continue for seven hours at a stretch. Over the course of five days Urban Warrior vehicles are expected to consume 18,063 gallons of fuel and generate 1.21 tons of air pollution. The nitrous oxides produced would be 3.4 times greater than the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's "significant threshold." (Those figures don't include air pollution from fuel-inefficient military aircraft, since the Marine Corps' environmental assessment ruled that its exhaust gases would not fall into the urban "mixing zone.") During Urban Warrior's grand finale at Oak Knoll March 18, marines will discharge 60 smoke bombs and 8,000 rounds of blanks in a single hour. Three-block war When the U.S. Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL) first proposed staging Urban Warrior inside San Francisco's Presidio National Park last year, it described a three-day exercise involving 200 to 300 marines. By January the exercise included five ships, 6,000 sailors and marines, fighter jets, helicopters, and four days of simulated combat. National Park Service officials decided the event had grown too large and pulled the plug. In an effort to save the Presidio invasion, Gen. Charles C. Krulak (who founded the Urban Warfighting Laboratory in 1995) wrote an op-ed in the San Francisco Examiner appealing to San Franciscans to rally 'round the flag and allow the attack to proceed. Krulak offered a rather implausible pretext for exploding thousands of rounds of blanks inside a U.S. city. "Marines will be transported to the Presidio, where they will provide humanitarian assistance to 'victims' of an assumed natural disaster," Krulak wrote. " 'Rebel' elements opposed to the operation will then arrive. The situation will deteriorate into conflict." Krulak didn't explain why "rebels" would be opposed to humanitarian assistance in the wake of a natural disaster. "Humanitarian relief" effort involves marines handing out "food, water, and diapers" to paid actors performing from a prepared script,

[CTRL] NYC Malathion Spraying
-Dear media person,I just found these very useful sites and highly recommend themfor exploration to anyone in the media. As you certainly havenoticed there is an ever increasing deluge of news stories onbio-warfare, terrorism, vaccines, epidemics, encephalitis etc.Unfortunately, the vast majority of these articles and TV piecesare nothing more than government and pharmaceutical industrypropaganda directed at making the public open to the idea ofreceiving new vaccines, being sprayed with insecticides andotherwise preparing them for some very frightening scenarios. The recent encephalitis "epidemic" here in NYC was atextbook example of the media doing saturation coverage on anissue while barely touching on any facts other than those issuedby the CDC, the DOD and the Mayor's OEM. What mostsurprised me about the past few months of news coverage isthat with a home computer I was able to readily access moreinfo than one could read in a lifetime that refuted the entiremedia and government spin on this issue. Most of what Idiscovered that was especially interesting was from USgovernment and pharmaceutical company sites rather thanfrom anti-pesticide activists. Many reporters I spoke toacknowledged that they'd read my own and other activists'essays on the issue or had read documents such as the Mayor'sChem-Bio handbook but that they then contacted one or two"official experts" (those recommended by the Mayor's office)who assured them that there was nothing to worry about, thatMalathion was in fact completely safe and so on. As this issuedeveloped from August to November documents, transcripts oftaped interviews with those who did the actual spraying, thelabels from the actual canisters of Malathion used and so onproved beyond any possibility of doubt that the people of NYCwere being lied to in a highly coordinated manner. As of todaythe media continues to ignore virtually all of this information,and in my opinion, help hide it from the public. Just to be clear,I don't consider including a sentence in each article that, "someresidents expressed fear" to be covering both sides.Whether this lack of real coverage is from journalisticskepticism, having deadlines to meet or because yourassignment editors don't want you to go too deeply into theseissues is something you know better than I. What I and manyothers know for sure is that if we can get this info this readily,so can you. It's clear that various governmental agencies are preparing thepublic for a lot of new things to come. As a reporter you willbe covering these issues regardless of whether you do local,national or international news. If for no other reason that toprotect yourself and your own family don't you think youshould look at all the facts?Robert Lederman (718) 369-2111[EMAIL PROTECTED]Go to:http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Oct1999/t10191999_t1019asd.html For a specific US government briefing on nerve agentsand the treatments given to the military during the Gulf War.Has a lot on acetylcholine (the enzyme affected by Malathionand other nerve agents).Go to:http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Department of Defense News an incredibly useful site if youwant to know what the military has planned re: nerve agents,chemical warfare, vaccines etc.Go to:http://www.mediaeater.com/easy-access/news.htmlthis has incredible media and info links, the best I've ever seenand is a tremendous tool for research on any subject.From:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/aponline/1999/aponline071148_000.htmWashington Post 11/11/99CDC: Pesticide Sickened 123 in Fla.

Subscriptions are $12.00 per year [institutions $25.00] from SRIC, PO Box 4524, Albuquerque, NM 87106. Airplanes taking a north by northwest approach into Denver's new International Airport often will fly over a cluster of eerie white objects in the suburb of Aurora that rival the eclectic nature of DIA's circus-tent architecure. Several 100-foot white domes have sprouted silently on the plains east of Denver, increasing their numbers year by year like mushrooms in a cow pasture. In the 25 years since Buckley Air National Guard Field became a primary U.S. intelligence base, radomes have been added to the site on Sixth Avenue in Aurora with nary an outcry from the local population. Similar domes now are a regular part of the Federal Aviation Administration's air traffic control network, and there would be little reason for citizens to suspect that the Buckley "golf balls" serve anything other than a benign purpose. But thanks to a three-year campaign by Colorado Springs-based Citizens for Peace in Space and the American Friends Service Committee in Denver, local citizens are aware that the radomes form the front line of a new direction for the U.S. intelligence community. Buckley is the primary Western Hemisphere facility in a new network of intelligence processing stations called "Regional SIGINT Operations Centers." The base is acknowledged to serve as a processing center for early-warning satellites watching for missile launches, but actually spends the bulk of its time downloading and processing communications intelligence collected by satellites. This dual role for the secret base is analogous to the two-sided nature of the U.S. intelligence community in the 1990s -- while apparently serving stabilizing interests, agencies are regularly violating civil liberties and enabling destabilizing military doctrines. The intelligence establishment, once dominated by the covert shenanigans of the CIA, is now controlled largely by the high-tech monitoring networks created by the National Security Agency and National Reconnaissance Office. Most U.S. citizens, including many arms control advocates, assume the missions of NSA and NRO are far more benign than those of the CIA. If the agencies' missions matched the public goals of being the "national technical means of verification" for arms control treaties, this might be true. But three years of probing by CPIS and AFSC, with the help of national organizations like the Federation of American Scientists, have convinced organizers that the agencies' primary post-Cold-War missions are coordinating war-fighting plans, and listening in on civilian and commercial communications. "The agencies may be secret, but they make no secrets about their belligerent nature," said CPIS director Bill Sulzman. Sulzman, an ex-priest and long-time foe of Star Wars missions in the Colorado Springs area, points to the "Masters of Space" logo proudly displayed by the U.S. Space Command, based at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. "NRO officials always talk of providing real-time intelligence for war-fighters," Sulzman said. "They openly admit to expanding their missions to include civilian monitoring, in order to keep their same bloated size now that the U.S.'s primary adversary has withered away. People only maintain myths about technical intelligence because they're not listening to what is being said very openly." Denver AFSC organizer Tom Rauch sees many similarities between the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant and Buckley Field. In both cases, a federal facility grew over a 20-year period under a cloak of intense secrecy, with virtually no input or comprehension by local citizens. Buckley Field opponents in the 1990s, like Rocky Flats opponents in the early 1970s, faced citizens who had a hard time grasping the real problems represented by the facilities. With Buckley, there is the added problem of few health aspects associated with the operations of the intelligence base, unlike the very real dangers of plutonium linked to Rocky Flats. Instead, opponents need to make citizens aware of the doctrinal and civil liberties issues that make Buckley and similar facilities a concrete danger.
Re: [CTRL] [CIA-DRUGS] Former CIA Director Woolsey criticizes Clinton

A few more biographical details on James Woolsey: Clinton met James at a
reunion of activists, held on Marthas Vineyard sometime in the late 60's, in
the Eugene McCarthy 1968 campaign against LBJ's war and HHH. I don't have
the biography, by James Chace of Cold War Liberal, Allard Lowenstein, handy,
but, Allard was a dorm mgr. at Stanford in the early 60's when James went to
school there. Lowenstein led the "Dump Johnson" movement in '68. There is
another bio of Lowenstein out there published by Grove Press, entitled
,"Pied Piper," author?, which all but says Allard was a CIA agent.
One further detail on Woolsey. He is defense counsel to some Iraqi
oppositionists to Saddam Hussein who are threatened with deportation back to
certain death to Iraq. A story I saw on CNN about the case some months back
had an amazed Woolsey complaining that he, an ex-CIA chief, was not being

HenrySent: Sunday, October 17, 1999 1:55 PM SHenubject: SNET: Re: Hitler On Pat BuchananFrom my point of view, the people at the eastern end of the Mediterranean have 'counter-punched' with their recognizable kind of ersatz history andmurky pseudo-drama. As for me, I shall vote for the person the mass media attack the most. So far, that is Buchanan. So sayeth Henry Ayre. Me thinkith Henry might need to have his satire and irony meter checked. Read some more of those boys at Counterpunch and you'll see that Cockburn and St. Clair write and publish hard hitting pieces against corporatism, the NWO in all its imperialist and militarist guises from Waco and Urban Warrior exercises to the war against Yugoslavia. No mistaking that Counterpuch emerges from the 60's New Left in terms of it's critique of Corporate Liberalism but the "Right" if it looks a liitle closer might find that the "Left"(well certain precicts of it!) shares some common enemies with it when it comes to the fascism daily growing more cancerous in this land of ours.

[This is too long to forward, but the audience and topic are too rich to pass over. The full text is at http://www.pub.whitehouse.gov/uri-res/I2R?urn:pdi://oma.eop.gov.us/19 99/11/5/3.text.1.] THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary (Hartford, Connecticut) For Immediate Release November 4, 1999 As Prepared for Delivery SAMUEL R. BERGER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR REMARKS TO THE BILDERBERG STEERING COMMITTEE November 4, 1999 Strengthening the Bipartisan Center: An Internationalist Agenda for America Two weeks ago, I gave a speech in New York at the Council on Foreign Relations about the unique and paradoxical position in which America finds itself today. Some of you may have read a few articles about it in the op-ed pages. Come to think of it, some of you may have written a few of those articles! In the speech, I pointed out that we are at the height of our power and prosperity. We face no single, overriding threat to our existence. The ideals of democracy and free markets which we embrace are ascendant through much of the world. After 50 years of building alliances for collective defense, common prosperity, and wider freedom, we now have an unparalleled opportunity to shape, with others, a better, safer, more democratic world. Most Americans are ready to seize that opportunity, though we sometimes differ about how. Yet there are also some who question whether we need to seize it at all. They believe America can and should go it alone -- either by withdrawing from the world and relying primarily on our military strength to protect us from its dangers . . . or by imposing our will on the world, even if it means alienating our closest allies. There are elements of isolationism in that view; for whatever its intent, its effect is to isolate America from its friends and to define America's interests in the narrowest of terms. There are clearly elements of unilateralism in it as well. I made these arguments in my speech to stimulate a discussion about America's appropriate role in the world. It appears that I've succeeded. This is a discussion Americans need to be having -- before decisions are made that do real harm to our capacity to lead. And I'm pleased to have the opportunity to move that dialogue forward this evening with you.
