UNEXPLAINED ASPECTS OF THE COLUMBINE
HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.
As usual the media isn't very good at asking key questions
that might reveal a different solution that what is desired.
A. It is obvious to most observers that the two
teenage shooters had help. Transporting and prepositioning the number
of bombs into the school exceeded what two boys could carry in even
a dozen trips. Bombs the size of 20 lb. propane cylinders cannot be
hidden under a trenchcoat. How did they get them into the school without
detection? Taking the bombs into the building would have required
numerous trips. This could not have been done during daylight or when
the school was open since the bombs were large and impossible to conceal
under clothing. They must have had a key or access through an accomplice.
How did the bombs go undetected since some were not so well hidden?
B. Live news coverage showed several older "students"
(looking like men in their mid 20s) being apprehended early on in
the conflict. It was interesting that even as the media kept talking
about potential conspiracy in this issue, they kept repeating the
law enforcement claims that they "had no other suspects." At no time
did any reporter ask them about the persons earlier seen on video
being apprehended. Later on as other talk radio hosts illuminated
the inconsistencies, the media released the story that the "students"
were released because it was determined these suspects were "not involved."
Rather than asked how this was determined, the media simply accepted
the report.
C. The media barely covered the existence and
action of the armed guard present in the school who fled after exchanging
a few rounds. He was a bona fide police deputy. What was he doing
there? Why did he flee? Why was he not prosecuted for leaving the
students undefended?
D. The suicide story of the two shooters went
without question. There are important details that the press should
have asked. How were they shot? What caliber bullet was found? Strangely,
no details about these "suicides" have come forth. Of course, as has
been shown in numerous other government cover-ups, it is easy for
government to find autopsy doctors willing to falsify any outcome
the government desires. Frankly, it is very difficult to kill oneself
with a .22 caliber bullet. It is so small, it must hit some very critical
area to be fatal. Most attempts by a .22 do not result in a successful
suicide.
ANALYSIS: The Columbine shooting has launched
a massive media campaign against gun possession, as predicted. The
reach of their calls for action even extend to prohibiting concealed
weapons holders to carry on school grounds. How in the world do they
invent any linkage between concealed weapons permits and this shooting?
If anything, a concealed weapons holder could have only helped in
this situation. Touting the image of a "gun free" school zone only
clouds the issue. Schools "free" of defensive guns (police or concealed
weapons holders) clearly are more at risk in these surprise attacks--not
less.
The media moguls cried crocodile tears and beat
the emotional drums for the victims for days on end--not because of
true sympathy, in my opinion, but rather because they were savoring
the opportunity of using this incident to help destroy Second Amendment
rights. Even more troubling is the potential that agent provocateurs
were involved. I find it very difficult to believe that it was simply
coincidental that this incident happened at the same time the NRA
had scheduled their national conference in Denver. Both before and
after the OKC bombing, the government has been involved directly in
numerous attempts to infiltrate right wing militia organizations--not
with clean cut agents trying to simply monitor their activities--but
rather with thug-type criminals paid to induce attacks against the
government and otherwise engage in unlawful activities. Virtually
every militia organization in the US has numerous documented accounts
of government attempts to provoke illegal actions.
The implications of such tactics to create an
enemy that wouldn't exist otherwise is strong evidence of conspiracy
to destroy liberty. All of my subscribers should read Rodney Stich's
book Defrauding America (1-800-292-2831) for one of the best compilations
of first hand experiences of federal agents who have had personal
experiences with the dark side of government. In Defrauding America,
several CIA agents make a dramatic case for the fact that Denver is
one of the largest centers of government illegal activity. The dark
side of government controls many government, police and financial
figures in this area. They operate real estate companies, banks, and
savings and loan organizations to launder covert funds. They also
operate a special CIA covert operations base out of Buckley Airfield
near Denver, complete with a fleet of black helicopters.
The Demonic Connection: This is a key aspect that
has played a role in numerous gun attacks on innocent people in the
last few years. Without exception, there is evidence that both children
and adults that seemingly "went crazy" and began shooting other people
had significant interaction with Satanic depression or Satanic cult
activities. The boys in the Georgia elementary shooting were involved
in Satanism. The Columbine shooters were also involved. This is my
own personal opinion, but I feel there are patterns of chronic depression
that often allow Satan to invade the spirit and control their actions.
The Bible referred to such things as being "possessed" of a devil.
How does this happen? I don't believe that innocent good living people
are susceptible to be "possessed" against their will. But when people
engage in a host of violations of conscience, serious sins, and experience
the resulting depression that follows, they open themselves up to
Satanic influence. It may start out simply as allowing yourself to
listen to a long litany of dark and angry thoughts. As depression
gets worse, one keeps thrusting away divine promptings that try to
get a person to get up and do what he knows he should do. Prolonged
engagement with this stream of dark ideas and hatred towards others
(especially those who may have tried to discipline and help them)
can lead to some form of Satanic control. It is my personal opinion
that the chronically angry and depressed man who shot several people
in the LDS Family History Center in Salt Lake City was possessed by
a dark spirit who induced this senseless attack.
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS?
First, that establishment psychologists are never
going to be able to solve this kind of malady. Indeed, one of the
unique abilities of satanic depressed people is the ability to get
guidance from the dark spiritual forces on how to evade detection.
Persons who have come out of suchpossessed states have described how
they would be guided on what to say to avoid being discovered. So
those looking to close gun loopholes for the mentally ill are probably
not going to be successful in cases where these kinds of dual personalities
are involved. Since everyone has some form of normal depression from
time to time, it is also very difficult, if not impossible to distinguish
between this and dangerous and dark spiritual depression that may
be guided by evil forces. Second, parents need to learn to discipline
attitudes as well as actions. Allowing children to stay depressed
for hours and days on end is not healthy. The new permissive parenting
techniques are particularly bad in allowing chronic bad attitudes
to be picked up in schools and then allowed to develop and flourish
at home through lack of strong correction. Excessive toleration of
chronic attitude problems by parents provides a breeding ground for
evil to control the core atmosphere of the home.
There are two basic rules of conscience that can
solve about 90% of all attitude problems (when parents learn to discipline
according to violations of conscience and not by an ever increasing
number of rules). When parents correct according to a child's violation
of concience, there is a greater chance he or she will be come more
aware of the signals of conscience and self-controlled rather than
simply savvy about avoiding the limits created by rules. These two
guidelines help children and adults learn to recognize the most common
signals from conscience: The first helps children recognize the universal
warning signal that always precedes bad ideas or bad behavior--nervous
feelings about the correctness of what one intends to do. The second
helps parents and children recognize those promptings that try to
get us to do things we don't feel like doing. Have everyone in the
family memorize these two principles of life:
1. NEVER DO ANYTHING YOU FEEL NERVOUS ABOUT, AS TO
THE CORRECTNESS.
2. ALWAYS FORCE YOURSELF TO DO WHAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD
DO, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.

GOVERNMENT USES DISINFORMATION
TO SQUASH TWA MISSILE EVIDENCE
Retired Navy Cmdr. William S. Donaldson III, head
of the Associated Retired Aviation Professionals, discovered hard
evidence that the FBI not only knew that a missile had been fired
at TWA 800 but that they hired several scallop trawlers in the Long
Island Sound area to scavenge the bottom to recover and hide the actual
missile parts. One of the scallop trawler crewmen recovered the first
stage of the missile rocket before the FBI arrived on board and had
already thrown it back into the water. The FBI placed agents aboard
each trawler with an operations manual showing pictures to show the
crew what they were looking for. They swore everyone to secrecy and
had instructions to use special coded cell telephone numbers to report
discoveries to headquarters. Agents showed one such drawing to the
trawler crewman who confirmed that he had found it and thrown it back
into the sea. It is probably still down there. The hunt went on for
a few days to recover it, but no one has revealed to the public if
it was found again. However, Donaldson's investigation hit paydirt
when it was discovered that one FBI agent on a trawler apparent left
behind his secret FBI instructions, which Donaldson recovered. The
found documents were posted on several sites on the Internet for all
to see. They provide strong evidence that the FBI not only knew there
was a missile involved but that they also knew the specific type--a
US built Stinger missile from the Afghan era. These were the same
missiles that the Muslims had tried to get the US to buy back or take
back from them, which the Clinton Administration refused.
Donaldson's discovery blows away the FBI denial
of any missile theory. Heretofore, the FBI has consistently covered
up any and all evidence about missiles. They have suppressed witness
statements attesting to the missile sightingss as well as other specific
forensic evidence. The only other hard evidence made public was the
misdirected fax from a missile drone manufacturer to the FBI (received
by someone whose fax number was one digit different than the FBI)
confirming the serial numbers on the missile part as being of American
manufacture. But now the conspirators in government have an even bigger
problem to cover-up. Donaldson's finding of the FBI operations manual
provides new evidence that points factually to an FBI cover-up of
the truth when they denied having no evidence of missile participation
in the disaster. So now comes the disinformation squad to defuse the
impact of this evidence.
Donaldson's revelations came to light in late
April of 1999, published on Worldnetdaily.com, the top conservative
Internet news site. See the following URL for the complete 3 part
story: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_bresnahan/ 19990428_xex_were_missile.shtml
So in early May, the government leaks to the Washington Post that
the FBI had tried to suppress an ATF report early on pointing to mechanical
failure as the cause of the TWA 800 crash. The supposed reason for
the FBI intransigence was, as Sen Charles Grassley said, was to prolonged
its criminal investigation with fears about missile threats and terrorism
that could be used to increase its budget. He claims that "The FBI
didn't want to hear about anything but a missile or a bomb, because
otherwise there was no FBI case,"
ANALYSIS: This is patently false and puts Grassley
into the position of being a shill for government attempts to put
a favorable spin on this case. The FBI had the prime role in covering
up any evidence of a missile shoot down. It was the FBI that intimidated
and threatened missile witnesses. It was the FBI lab that kept falsifying
data and denying the evidence of explosive residue on aircraft and
interior parts. This trumped up report claiming that the FBI was early
on in favor of a missile theory and then came on board the establishment
falsified fuel tank explosion explanation is a pure fabrication. Here's
the reason: since they would have a hard time denying Donaldson's
discovery of the FBI opts manual looking for Stinger parts, they can
now say that it was simply part of the FBI's early-on misguided efforts
to prove a missile shoot down--which the FBI is now "wise enough"
to realize was mistaken! But nothing, anywhere, either at the beginning
of the investigation or the end, in actions or in words, points to
FBI favoring a missile theory at any time--except in this newly leaked
(and perhaps newly created) memo trying to suppress the alleged ATF
report. This appears very suspicious to me. In fact, it heightens
my awareness of how far and to what lengths the government will lie
or create new "evidence" to cover-up any honest evidence of conspiracy
that is forthcoming. As long as the press continues to tip toe around
these propaganda stories and avoid asking penetrating questions, the
cover-up and dumbing down of the American public will continue.

ELIZABETH DOLE MAPS OUT INCREASING
LIBERAL POSITIONS ON GUN CONTROL
According to insider and king-maker, Dwayne Andreas
(Chairman of Archer Daniels Midland, the international, pro-globalist
agro-giant) the "powers that be" (he should know--he is one of them)
intend to install George Bush Jr. as the next US president and Elizabeth
Dole as VP (according to a private conversation with another insider
on the golf course, overheard by a friend of mine). True to form,
Elizabeth Dole was busy this week staking out her positions. Showing
a marked anti-gun proclivity, she stated in Philadelphia on May 11,
"I think police work is hard enough already. No one should make it
harder. I think it's wrong to let people carry concealed weapons.
It's the right thing to do and I won't shy away from the tough issues,
even if some in my party don't like it" (WND quoting AP of 5-11-99).
She also supports a mandatory requirement that guns be sold with child
safety locks. Keep in mind that Elizabeth Dole is really not running
for President, but Vice President. Her specific positions will disappear
once she becomes Bush's running mate but they will still be there
to influence policy because they are also secretly shared by Bush
and other NWO insiders controlling the mainstream Republican Party.
George Bush Jr. will stake out the moderate conservative position
and then move left during his administration through the normal round
of compromises with liberal Republicans and Democrats.

MILITARY READINESS--OR LACK THEREOF
House Armed Services Committee Chairman, Floyd Spence
issued the following warning: "Aside from thousands of our military
being cut back along with equipment being worn out, we're cannibalizing
the aircraft. There are now three people are doing the work of five."
According to Chairman Spence the following reductions
have taken place during the Clinton Administration: Strategic and
General Purpose Forces from 1990 to 1997: B-52 Bombers have gone from
220 to 56. B-1 Bombers from 90 to 60; Strategic Defense Interceptor
Aircraft from 36 to 14; and Army Divisions (1990 to 1997) have gone
from 18 Active down to 10. Reserve divisions have gone from 10 to
8. Army Brigades (1990 to 1997) have declined from 8 Active to 3 and
Reserve brigades have gone down from 27 to 18. Army brigades are special
purpose combat organizations with various compliments of troops, heavy
armor, air defense, and shock forces that can be quickly attached
or joined to other forces to make up a small scale invasion force.
Active military strength has declined during 1990
to 1996 from approx. 2,000,000 to 1,500,000 personnel. Less than half
a million are true combat capable troops. The rest are in supporting
roles. In 1988, total numbers of active and reserve military personnel
was about 3.2 million. By 1998, these numbers were reduced to 2.5
million. In 1990, there were about 600 Navy combat and supply ships.
Today there are less than 300. Navy personnel cite frequent stories
of longer and longer deployments away from home and family, with understaffed
ships.
ANALYSIS: This understaffing problem takes a tremendous
toll on personal lives. When critical mission positions are short-handed,
it means Navy watches get longer and more frequent. Errors occur with
increasing fatigue. One Navy Lieutenant said: "That ship, at the time
that I was out there, had so few qualified air traffic controllers
for the carrier air traffic control center that we couldn't man the
air traffic control center for 24 hours a day....If we would launch
under VFR conditions, visual flight rules, during the day and the
weather deteriorates such that we had to come back under IFR, instrument
conditions, they literally had to go rouse people out of their beds
from the night shift to bring them up during the day to man the radar
consoles in order that we could recover aircraft under instrument
conditions." As a former carrier pilot, I can tell you that I would
not want my approach to a carrier "in the soup" to be handled by a
tired controller who was overstressed and worn out. Landing a fighter-bomber
on a pitching flight deck is hard enough even under optimal conditions.
As I pointed out before, one of the prime purposes of a combination
of downsizing the military and increasing numbers of missions is to
use up supplies and drive experienced military men away. Is this budget
cutting mania or simple Clintonian stupidity? Neither, unfortunately.
Underlying this concerted effort to weaken the military is a NWO purpose--to
soften us up for the next war in order to make sure the Russian's
have the confidence to think they can strike and win. The Russians
believe we must be cheating, just like they are, so right now they
are somewhat paranoid and hesitant to strike. I also think the "powers
that be" are setting up a weak manpower situation in the military
so that a draft can be more easily justifiable at some future crisis.
A draft helps squelch a lot of anti-war sentiment, outwardly, due
to the more visible penalties involved with draft evasion. This next
nuclear/biological/and chemical war is destined to be extremely unpopular,
and the NWO crowd is gearing up for maximum deception, propaganda
and legal pressure to deal with dissent. Ultimately, those who resist
this next war will be treated much much worse than the leftist draft
dodgers in the Vietnam era. After all, this next war will be the Left's
war, and though the enemy will be communist Russia, the Left will
have begun discarding communism as its protected form of socialism
and switch to world democratic socialism--the Third Way.

GM CARS NOW INSTALLING CODED CRASH
DIAGNOSTIC MODULES
Not only are big computer companies putting secret
tracking mechanisms into computers (at the covert behest of the US
government) but big auto makers are doing the government's bidding
as well. General Motors said its Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
is only used to gather crash data for "research." But when you look
at its capabilities, it can be used for many other future purposes
that have civil libertarians and consumer advocates rightfully worried.
The unit records the car's speed, when its brakes are applied, steering
wheel angle, accelerator position and seatbelt use.
ANALYSIS: Clearly these elements are related to
safety analysis in a collision. But accident lawyers are also anxious
to get their hands on the data to prove or disprove what drivers say
in court. Even the latter threat to privacy is not what makes this
data dangerous. The danger is that other sensors or location trackers
could be added at any time and no one would tell you about it. This
is an ominous trend. GM put in electronic tracking devices and failed
to publish anything about it. This is the same type of secrecy that
Intel and Microsoft were guilty of when Global Unique Identifier (GUI)
tracking data chips were built into Intel's Pentium III and laptop
Pentium II and Microsoft Window's 98 operating system (Internet codes)
and in its Office 97 suite of software. The fact that they purposely
omitted documenting any of these systems indicates these companies
cannot be trusted to not put other things inside. Microsoft is claiming
its privacy invasion was a "flaw" or a "bug". It was clearly intentional.
These things don't get programmed by themselves or by mistake. Who
do they think they are kidding?

FBI STILL HOLDING BACK 99% OF THE
SECRET WIRETAPS ON CHINAGATE
In a blockbuster revelation, Rep Curt Weldon of the
Cox Committee reported in a speech this week that the FBI told the
committee in direct testimony that what the Committee was allowed
to see represented less than 1% of the evidence the FBI has in its
files. You can bet the material withheld shows a pattern of "allowing"
the Chinese to steal at will. I noted that the Committee accepted
this shocking statement without demanding to see the withheld material.
ANALYSIS: Obviously, much of the withheld evidence
involves the Republicans too. This cover-up is not only about the
Democrats aiding the Communists--it's really about a much broader
government conspiracy that transcends many administrations. Access
to the whole package of evidence would make that dangerously clear.

COLUMBINE TEACHER'S TESTIMONY RAISES
SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT OFFICIAL VERSION
Columbine High School art teacher Patti Nielson, wounded
in the school attack, made unwitting statements to the Denver Post
that cast grave doubts on the official two- lone-gunmen theory. Teacher
Nielson and student Brian Anderson observed and were shot by what
she said was a "MAN outside the school" on the upper terrace using
a semi-automatic pistol. She said he was dressed in black and was
shooting a gun toward the parking lot. She yelled at him to stop because
she "thought he was doing a dumb thing." She then said the man turned,
grinned and shot at her. Describing him initially as "small" she later
recanted upon being told by officials who the shooters "really were"
and said, "I thought he was small, but I found out later he was pretty
tall!" However, during the prior events, the teacher (trained to see
details) continually referred to the assailant as a man, both during
her 911 call and in other statements. She also never saw him wearing
headphones, even though numerous students described the assailants
who entered the building from the lower cafeteria as wearing headphones
(which may have referred to ear protectors). She also never saw any
duffel bags that officials claim must have been used to bring in the
numerous propane tanks, and other explosives at the time of the attack.
ANALYSIS: Because of the simultaneous timing of
events witnessed by different people, it is clear that the man Nielson
confronted on the upper level outside the school, could not have been
the same person or persons who other students saw enter the school
cafeteria at the lower level, on the opposite side of the school--who
were recognized as Harris and Klebold. The two entering the cafeteria
were wearing headphones or ear protection--the man who shot at Nielson
and Anderson was not. If they were headphones, then it would indicate
a possible communication system and a coordinated attack by agent
provocateurs. The bombs had to be already in place in the school before
the shooting. All of this careful omission of key facts by officials,
plus the continued enforcement of the two-shooter scenario begins
to sound more and more like the establishment's rabid defense of the
single JFK assassin theory--all necessary to cover up a carefully
planned shooting meant to precipitate changes in law. In this case,
the objective is gun control, and we can expect to see more and more
gun violence till the desired results are accomplished. Some of it
is surely will be due to satanic depression and hatred boiling up
within kids hardened by years of bad attitudes bred in public schools,
coupled to corrupting influences and cultist activities. Others will
be planned and induced by making use of these same type of kids--most
of whom are on mood altering drugs. As I write this, the gun control
aspects of the Juvenile Justice legislation have gone down in defeat
in the House, despite the leadership's push for passage. I think it
is only a brief respite. The Senate version of the bill still has
all the bad gun control features and the House conferees will be required
to work out the differences between the two bills. Watch for a series
of compromises that may well result in a cave in to most of the Senate
bill demands, thereby turning this temporary defeat into a permanent
victory for the gun control lobby.

The media and the President are bearing down with
every propaganda ploy possible to ensure a reversal. They are savaging
the NRA and every pro-gun Congressman as if they are favoring criminals
over children. Clinton and the media want nothing less than full gun
owner registration, with high fines and prison sentences for those
who don't comply. Following this will come surprise searches of private
homes to make an example of those who dare to defy this registration
scheme. Finally, gun confiscation will become inevitable. As Gun Owners
of America's Larry Pratt said: "Gun owners should not fall for Congressional
promises that once this anti- gun crime bill is finished with, they
will get the whole gun control debate 'behind them.' Not true. If
the current gun restrictions in Congress become law, we will see an
immediate move towards even stricter proposals." If you are not now

MEDIA ANTI-GUN BIAS
Just as journalists abide by the subtle law never
to reveal any person's or group's leftist affiliation, the media is
loath to ever mention the positive use of guns to save lives or deter
crime. Contrast the hype and excessive media coverage of the Columbine
High School tragedy with other school attacks in which the crimes
were stopped by armed citizens well before the police arrived. In
an excellent article by John Lott of Investors' Business Daily (April
30, 1999) a systematic review was made of media coverage demonstrating
a concerted attempt to downplay the positive use of weapons.
In October 1997, a student began a shooting rampage
at a high school in Pearl, Mississippi. It was halted by Joel Myrick,
an administrator, who ran out to his car and retrieved his concealed
weapon. He was prohibited from having the weapon on his person inside
the school due to the gun control laws creating "safe school zones"
and probably could have stopped the killings faster had concealed
weapons permit holders been exempted from this rule. Had he made any
mistakes in his saving efforts, you can be sure local prosecutors
would have tried to convict him of breaking the law. Of hundreds of
media stories that appeared in the first month after the attack only
16 stories mentioned his heroic act. Only 9 of these stories mentioned
that he used a gun to stop the attack. Some stories simply stated
that Myrick was "credited by police with helping capture the boy"
or that "Myrick disarmed the shooter." Dan Rather would only say that
"Myrick eventually subdued the young gunman." Clearly there is an
attempt to downplay the fact that a conceal weapon had been successfully
used to stop the violence.
In like manner a shooting incident at a school
in Edinboro, Pa., was stopped only after James Strand came over from
his nearby restaurant and pointed a shotgun at the shooter (a student
named Wurst) who was busy reloading his gun for more killing. He stopped
the killing 10 minutes before police arrived. Strand's action saved
tens of lives. Again, out of the nearly 600 hundred stories covering
the event only 35 even mentioned Mr. Strand's actions, and only a
few of those mentioned that he used a gun to hold the shooter at bay.
One New York daily intoned simply that Strand "persuaded Wurst to
surrender." Saying that Strand "persuaded" the killer is double speak
when compared to the full truth. The obvious intent was to avoid any
mention of the means of persuasion. The Atlanta Journal and Constitution
said Strand merely "chased Wurst down and held him until police came."
Clearly these are half-truths and are anything but objective.

HIDDEN
PROVISIONS IN JUVENILE JUSTICE BILL
Senator Hatch, in his continuing quest for political
stature, accedes to the hidden agenda of government agencies by allowing
the Justice Department to place many dangerous provisions within the
new juvenile justice legislation. In reality this bill has nothing
to do with juvenile justice and everything to do with increasing government
jurisdictional and surveillance powers. There is a lot more in this
bill than is being reported. There is a vastly increased forfeiture
expansion, which permits federal prosecutors to do forfeitures for
any state felony, and even includes some state-level misdemeanors.
It also includes mandatory sentences for gun and drug crimes, as well
as massive new wiretap provisions, including intercepts on pager transmissions,
without a warrant.
ANALYSIS: There are a wide array of both Republicans
and Democrats who can be counted on under various circumstances to
follow orders or take suggestions from the dark side of government--not
necessarily because they are knowing conspirators, but that they either
want to "get ahead" politically (they know who has the ultimate power),
or that they are being blackmailed by knowledge obtained by the illegal
FBI surveillance teams which target all members of Congress, and even
many state legislators. How else does some lone senator from a small
state come to include language in a bill that has nothing to do with
his constituency or the true national interest? He or she gets a visit
or call from someone in the power chain above who says, "I'm sending
over some suggested language for this new justice bill which I'm sure
you will want to include." Sometimes the language comes from permanent
staff members on committees who write the actual bills. Often these
staffers are long-time political hacks with many years seniority who
secretly work for the other side. Most often the planted legal language
goes through a laundering process so that when Republicans are targeted
for delivery, the call doesn't come directly from Janet Reno, but
through one of the mid-level Justice Department officials who is viewed
by Republicans as "friendly" and accessible to their side. Sometimes
it comes from the liberal Republican Party leadership of Congress
or at the RNC level and presented in terms of "we've got to accept
this to avoid a veto." There are hundreds of varieties of how the
game is played. Over time, every unprincipled or partially principled
politician learns that "suggestions" from certain people are not to
be trifled with. The coercion is subtle but strong. Every once in
a while, congressmen get to see what happens to legislators who don't
cooperate. They get bad press, lack of campaign support from the RNC
or DNC, or sometimes they even have "accidents" or plane crashes.
Some claim this bill will create the first warrantless
electronic surveillance in US history but this is not true. More than
90% of current electronic surveillance is now going on without warrants
under the NSA's ECHELON global electronic eavesdropping system. This
has been going on for years. This and other last minute legislative
additions to other bills are mere attempts to legitimize what government
has been doing illegally for years. Senator Hatch continues to do
serious damage to laws protecting liberty by being a willing party
to these "compromises". He is a passionate believer in the necessity
of compromise in order to get a bill passed. He loves to think of
himself as a "facilitator" between liberals and conservatives. Liberals,
like his "friend" Ted Kennedy, have led Hatch to believe that he has
gained their respect through these compromises. But deep inside liberal
circles they despise Hatch as a fool to be toyed with. Republican
compromisers rarely see that what the left achieves in these compromises
makes the conservative "gains" in these bills almost inconsequential.
Liberals have a long-term, incremental agenda that continues to march
forward year by year.
Hatch is being strung along not only by liberal
Democrats and the press but also by the Republican leadership. They
keep leading him on about running for the presidency. All the while
they are snickering. They have no intention of following through with
any support. The George Bush, Jr. candidacy was a done deal before
this race even began. Hatch can't see that they are playing him along
just to keep him under control. The "powers that be" have no intention
of letting Hatch achieve higher political office--he is too useful
to them right as is.

THE GOVERNMENT'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS
ON THE ANTHRAX VACCINE
The San Diego Tribune has gone public with a number
of negative revelations about the Pentagon's anthrax vaccination program.
At the same time that the government is mounting a huge propaganda
campaign assuring the 1.3 military personnel of the vaccine's safety,
secret military documents obtained by the Tribune clearly indicate
that high-level Pentagon officials are aware of serious side effects
of the vaccine, as well as lack of effectiveness. Documents obtained
by The San Diego Union-Tribune show that Army Secretary Louis Caldera,
knew that the vaccine "involves unusually hazardous risks associated
with the potential for adverse reactions in some recipients and the
possibility that the desired immunological effect will not be obtained
by all recipients." In addition it was noted that there is no certainty
that the anthrax used in tests to measure the vaccine's effectiveness
"will be sufficiently similar to the pathogen that US forces might
encounter."
In another revelation days later, it was discovered
that the Army was absolving the manufacturer, Michigan-based BioPort
Corp, of any liability for the vaccine. On top of that it comes to
light that BioPort is threatening bankruptcy, claiming it cannot fulfill
the government's contract due to cost overruns. The government's 29
million dollar contract for 6.3 million doses of vaccine is deemed
insufficient for BioPort to sustain the costs of manufacturing. The
company wants a new contract at triple the price.
ANALYSIS: I suspect insider dealing here. BioPort
came in less than 2 years ago and bought out the State of Michigan's
interest in the defunct vaccine manufacturing facilities, for pennies
on the dollar. They agreed to fulfill the Army Contract as part of
the deal. No set of investors and executives comes into this kind
of multi-million dollar buy-out underestimating the costs of fulfillment
by 3 times--especially when all the research and development costs
were behind them and vaccine was in production. What is happening
here, I believe, is typical of large military contractors who have
insider relationships with high government officials. They are allowed
to enter the contract process based upon a low bid knowing that they
will be allowed to alter and adjust those contracts later, upwards
by many millions. Contractors without these insider relationships
are never allowed the same leeway.
As for the indemnity package, this is standard
procedure for the US government to shield vaccine manufacturers from
liability. These vaccines, especially the new immune system altering
variety, are very dangerous to long term health. The side effects
are very stealth-like and are almost impossible to trace directly
to the vaccine, making it easy to deny any linkage. Like the Gulf
War syndrome which many experts believe was caused by the experimental
vaccines given to US troops during the gulf war, these new varieties
of vaccines alter the immune system and often cause auto immune reactions
where the body begins to attack itself. As rich as the big drug companies
are, none can afford to shoulder the financial liability of the wide-
ranging and sometimes deadly side effects that vaccines involve. While
the numbers of deaths are a small percentage, they are a certainty
in almost all vaccines. Think about that when you consider giving
your children vaccines--do you want them to be one of those thousands
that are going to turn up dead or permanently disabled within a few
days? The medical profession seems to be in league with government
to deny any relationship between vaccines and these severe reactions.
Numerous parents have been stonewalled by Doctors after an immunization
reaction. The facts continue to show a high correlation between Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and childhood immunizations. The DPT
shot is the most dangerous. The Army says that the US government will
now be liable for vaccine side-effects. In the Gulf War Syndrome,
the correlation was proven when it was discovered that French soldiers
who were not given the vaccine suffered none of the syndrome reactions
despite being exposed to the same chemical attacks as the Americans.
But this doesn't mean a US soldier or sailor can get justice or compensation.
Legally the US government has constitutional immunity from being sued,
especially by military personnel. If the Gulf War Syndrome is any
judge of government stonewalling practices, expect more of the same
with the Anthrax fiasco. The Washington Times discovered that the
government had secretly doped the Gulf War vaccine with an experimental
AIDS vaccine carrier agent, using soldiers as guinea pigs. The test
was a disaster. The Army had been given a waver by the FDA so that
they would only have to give the soldiers verbal notice of the experiment
rather than written. The Army then willfully neglected to follow that
agreement and refused to inform the troops.
What is incredible about these revelations on
Anthrax vaccine dangers is that they contradict everything that Army
Medical Doctors have been saying to the troops in the past year. Army
doctors specifically made a point of saying the vaccine is effective
on all variants of Anthrax, which the manufacturer admits is not true.
Doctors have also denied there are any significant side-effects. This
is another classic example of where Army high ranking personnel are
given orders to tell the troops whatever the Pentagon wants them to
hear. When higher ranking military leaders become simple yes-men to
either military top brass, or civilian politicians, they cannot be
trusted to defend what is best for our boys who serve under them.
Civilian control over the military is a proper principle, but only
in a general, overall sense. It doesn't mean that the military cannot
and should not vigorously protest bad policy by civilian leaders prior
to implementation. If dangerous and bad policy is implemented over
their objections, military leaders ought to have the courage to resign
when overruled, and make their reasons public.

AIR FORCE PILOT CRISIS:
Despite all the hoop-la about a "victory" in Kosovo,
Air Force pilots are leaving the service in large numbers. The Air
Force is now short over 1,500 pilot slots. Pilots complain of excessive
pressures and too much deployment time away from home. With the appearance
of a booming economy they have every incentive to leave for higher
paying, stay at home jobs and lots of reasons to leave.
ANALYSIS: Being short on pilots is only part of
the story. Every pilot slot is accompanied by one or more onerous
desk jobs that must be filled by the officers who stay on, which only
increases the real burden. Most pilots don't mind the flying as much
as the "collateral responsibilities" that make life difficult in an
increasingly bureaucratic military. One of the most understated reasons
for leaving, however, is that many military officers don't trust the
government or their military leaders to make decisions in their best
interest or based upon America's best interests. Many savvy officers
distrust this growing internationalist agenda being pursued by both
Democrats and Republican leaders. The Anthrax vaccine program has
also caused a lot of military people to leave or retire early rather
than fight the system. This is sad when the best and most patriotic
military personnel are leaving. In the future, with a military that
has fewer and fewer scruples and less objections to "following orders
blindly," the danger of government use of military forces to tyrannize
its own citizens increases.

A NAFTA MILITARY COMMAND?
The first trial balloon was raised this past month
over the specter of NAFTA taking on a NATO like military role. Lt.
Col. Joseph Nunez, writing for the US Army War College in Carlisle,
Pa., proposed a joint military command for the US, Canada and Mexico
with rotating positions of authority. He danced around the legal implications
of his proposal but hinted at "peacekeeping" operations, drug enforcement
and quick reaction to terrorism. These are the normal litany of excuses
globalists employ to justify non-constitutional increases in regional
police and military power. Incredibly, Nunez said the joint command
would replace NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense command)
which he feels "is getting pretty out-of-date when it comes to drugs,
terrorism and other threats."
ANALYSIS: This proposal either smacks of extreme
ignorance or a willful and calculated move to further denigrate US
early warning missile systems. If Nunez is a shill for the globalists,
he would certainly be expected to follow the standard propaganda that
there is no remaining Russian nuclear threat, and to emphasize the
well worn drug-war ploy. He goes on to claim that "The US does not
have the kind of working arrangement with Canada and Mexico that it
should" and proposes is a lot of military aid to both countries as
the carrot to induce participation in a joint command. This amounts
to more additions to the new magic budget surplus that Clinton is
touting. Frankly, I think the entire budget surplus hoop-la has been
created to justify a rapid and vastly increased expansion of federal
and international powers. The appearance of having lots of money to
throw around only lessons public resistance. Only a fool would imagine
this joint command proposal as honest power sharing. Both Canada and
Mexico can expect to be subservient to the US--who would be paying
most of the bills.
Furthermore, I don't believe some unknown Lt.
Col. writing for the Army War College comes up with these kinds of
proposals without being under the tutelage of globalist insiders.
I'd look for his name to show up eventually on the roster of the CFR
or other organizations grooming would-be internationalist bureaucrats
and enforcers. Even though implementation of such a unified military
command may be years away, there is a very dark future agenda underlying
this proposal that deserves analysis. Having a regional quick reaction
military force requires a change in fundamental laws at both the national
and international level--not just a minor adjustment to the NAFTA
"free trade agreement". For NAFTA to take on a police power role,
there must be a new mutual defense treaty created, like NATO. There
is always collateral civilian damage in military intervention which
brings up the question of which nation's legal structure has the power
to assess blame and damages against a supra-national force. Naturally,
this arrangement would help force the US to transfer jurisdiction
for certain cases to the World Court--a legal quagmire of fatal proportions.
And for such adjudication to occur, within any of the three NAFTA
members, considerable individual national sovereignty must be sacrificed.
The globalists are obviously pleased with how smoothly NATO has
been able to discard its defensive legal limitations and branch out
into more aggressive and interventionist forays. If NAFTA develops
a similar military arm, the same expansion will take place. Look for
increasing regional narco-terrorist wars in Latin America to justify
a further expansion of this NAFTA police authority. What we may be
seeing here is the second stage of a global plan to get Europe weaned
away from US dominance in NATO, and have the US concentrate it's efforts
on North American intervention. But that's a few years off and may
well be an important prelude to the coming war strategy of the NWO
crowd. Getting the US money and military machine spread thinner in
its commitments on this side of the Atlantic will help the Europeans
justify taking a more active role in NATO. As I previously wrote,
Europe has always resented a US presence in their affairs and is trying
to form an all-European armed forced so that Europe can dominant NATO
deployments--this is stage one. This is also one of the goals behind
the push to build the Euro as a major world currency. I think all
of these factors together point to a plan whereby the US is to be
taken down as a world player, forcing a vacuum of military leadership
that Europe is to be tasked by the UN to fill during the next war.
As inconceivable as it is to think about world leadership without
US dominance, don't underestimate the changes a future war can bring.
But even after a nuclear pre-emptive strike against the US, targeting
strategic military assets, the US will not cease to exist as a large
industrial nation. Nor will its cadre of globalist leaders disappear.
What it will do is balance out all the world's competing factors in
the coming global power shift so that the surviving US populace can
be harnessed into the New World Order with less resistance. With a
World War raging, few Americans will worry about the disappearance
of national sovereignty in their quest for survival. Once the US is
a humbled and defeated military power (through our leaders own purposeful
negligence), a world UN Army will be able to justify its existence
and march into the new "patriotic" war-to-end-all-wars (again).

CIA COVERT OPERATIONS IN SERBIA:
Savvy media watchers can learn a lot from what establishment
newsmakers are pushing. The latest onslaught is the media's delight
with the presumed "spontaneous" political demonstrations that are
rising to challenge Milosovic's dominance in Serbia. While the Clinton
administration admitted last week that it was tasking the CIA to develop
covert anti-Milosovic political operations in Serbia, the US State
Department and PBS news continue to claim that these political eruptions
and demonstrations in Serbia are spontaneous and without any US instigation.
ANALYSIS: The only fib the administration told
was to imply that such covert operations were to start sometime in
the future. In fact, they have been ongoing for months. Money has
secretly been flowing to opposition groups in Serbia for weeks. While
I would normally applaud such efforts to unseat a Communist dictator,
one has to look closely at the hypocrisy of the US government. Why
no covert operation money to opposition parties in China, or South
Africa, or Vietnam? Obviously they aren't targeting Milosovic because
he is Communist--but because he is a Communist who won't play ball
with western globalist intentions. From my ample experience in watching
US State Department intervention in Latin America, I can also assure
my readers that none of this covert money is going to persons yearning
to establish a true free market government similar to the US constitution.
The State Department and CIA only fund leftists who will be favorable
to NWO goals. It is clear now that NATO has no intention of leaving
the Balkans unless it can transform Serbia into a "democracy" that
is subservient to the UN interests. If it cannot achieve this end,
it will continue to use it as a tinder box for future conflicts, much
as the US keeps Saddam Hussein in power in Iraq.

GOLD SELL-OFF BY THE BANK OF ENGLAND
PLUNGES GOLD TO A NEW LOW
There are several reasons why Central Banks are taking
turns selling gold reserves into the open markets. In previous briefs
I mentioned the insider dealing with gold leasing and gold short futures
contracts that continues to generate profits for priveleged brokerage
firms--as long as the price is falling and not rising. This can't
last, especially since the total outstanding short contracts exceeds
1,000 tons of gold-- which doesn't exist in today's market.. The British
Treasury is under pressure to reconsider its gold sales after the
first in a series of auctions organized by the Bank of England sent
the price of the commodity falling to a new low of $256 per ounce.
Gold prices this low threaten the financial viability of several third
world nations in Africa who depend on gold revenues to fund their
costly socialist policies.
ANALYSIS: Somebody is going to go down with this
setup, and it's not going to be the central banks. Keep in mind that
central banks paid for gold purchases originally, simply by creating
fiat money entries on their accounting ledgers and then spending those
fiat millions into circulation through large gold bullion brokers.
They can repurchase gold again in the future in the same manner using
the same deceptive financing. They certainly would never have the
political muscle to buy gold through the normal legislative budget
process, having to face the specter of curtailing social spending
or raising taxes. But if the reason for the sales is to raise money
(which all governments desperately need) why the continued sales of
gold in the face of falling prices? Certainly, if the real purpose
was monetary, central banks wouldn't announce in advance the huge
tonnage of gold they plan on selling during the next year--this only
guarantees that the price will fall and give them less money during
gold auctions. I suspect that what we are seeing is the second-to-last
card being played in the fiat money bag of tricks (prior to massive
monetary inflation) in their efforts to artificially support the US
stock markets. The strength of the US market is the only thing holding
the world economic fabric together.
Falling gold keeps inflationary expectations low
without busting the bond markets, which are already suffering as the
world senses an irrational "boom fever." If central banks have to
resort to massive monetary creation, before a broad world depression
arrives, inflation will start showing up in prices that will begin
to fuel its own speculative flight from paper money into consumer
products. With the present strategy of selling off gold reserves,
governments are generating cash while not immediately fueling inflation.
Of course they are also supporting those insider brokers who are into
short gold contracts. But somehow those same holders of short contracts
are going to be left holding the bag. When the US economy finally
takes it's tumble, there will not only be a huge default on gold leasing
contracts but a dumping of dollars internationally that will cause
billions of greenbacks to be repatriated-- causing a further weakening
of the dollar at home and rising prices. When it happens (probably
sometime in the year 2000) I would expect an inflationary depression
such as we experienced during the Nixon administration, only much
worse. Look to central banks to quietly repurchase gold during this
next depression so as to replenish their reserves. They all know that
gold is the only financial clout during unstable times. But don't
be surprised to see them outlaw the use of gold at the individual
level. The gold club is to become a NWO financial country club reserved
only for those who play along with the "powers that be".

FBI's PHONY OUTREACH TO MILITIA
MEMBERS:
Janet Reno has held high level strategy meetings with
her top Justice Department advisors and has decided upon a new and
novel strategy to lure militia groups into the government's web of
influence. Heretofore, the FBI has tried to infiltrate militia groups
with thugs attempting to encourage militia arrest. Virtually every
public militia group has cataloged numerous accounts of these infiltration
attempts, and has become very savvy at resisting what these agent
provocateurs have had to offer. Now comes Janet Reno with a new tactic--put
on the friendly face and play like the FBI wants to take militia members
into their confidence. The agency has held several meetings with militia
groups testing the waters. They have even trotted out FBI cover-up
man Danny Defenbach who worked his deceptive magic on the OKC bombing
"investigation." If they can get militia members to accept Danny Defenbach
as a "friendly" ally, then this strategy will work.
ANALYSIS: Most militia groups won't fall for this,
but some may be susceptible. Beleaguered militia groups are composed
predominantly of ex-military men who know the benefits of being "inside"
government and having access to government authority and resources.
Trying to do militia military training on a civilian volunteer budget
is discouraging and some militia members may still long to have "access"
to government and the aura of legitimacy that (in the public's eye)
only government can grant. Even state governments have been so intimidated
by the bad press on militias that no state governor would even thinking
of using one of the self-styled militias in a real conflict. Without
a governor's recognition, the militias will always be viewed as vigilantes.
But there may be an even more plausible reason for this phony campaign.
It is possible the target is not the militia themselves, but the general
public. The militia, through their Internet sites, have been very
effective in giving evidence of the FBI's work on behalf of the dark
side of government. Perhaps the agency is trying to provide a friendly
face of accommodation so that the public will be more resistant to
the burgeoning success of anti-government movements--especially those
Internet based sites who, with scant resources, can put out volumes
of investigative details on key government cover-ups which are quite
convincing.

DETAILS ON THE 1994 COMMUNICATIONS
ASSISTANCE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ACT, or CALEA.
As with the present Juvenile Justice bill pending
in Congress, this euphemistically titled 1994 law contained fine print
that gave the Justice Department expansive wiretapping powers within
the cell telephone markets. Cell phones were the communication of
choice for privacy due to its former inability to be traced to a specific
location. Now the government requires all wireless companies to install
within the circuitry of the cellular base and antenna systems circuitry
that can pinpoint the location of any cell user during a conversation.
The bill also gave the FBI the technical ability to have unlimited
physical access to the ground stations of wireless telephone companies,
called gateways, where physical wiretap systems could be permanently
installed. Even though the government must technically get a court
order to tap a phone line, the FBI/CIA/DEA combined has constant wiretaps
in operation at all times on all lines. Only certain calls are recorded,
however, as computers are programmed to pick up on key words. However,
of those that are recorded, a government agent can only analyze a
small percentage of those calls due to the high volume of computer
leads. Details of how complete this invasion of privacy is have only
come to light recently as two Canadian firms have made applications
to the FCC to enter the wireless market. Since Canadian company gateways
would not be physically located on US soil, the FBI has a problem--it
does not have legal access to the gateway equipment since it is across
the border in Canada. So, thus far the FCC has refused to issue any
licenses to Canadian companies.
ANALYSIS: The FCC doesn't have any real authority
to deny the licenses, since the law failed to address the issue of
foreign based technology close enough to a US border to service wireless
communication. Thus, it is simply stonewalling and delaying approval
until it can figure out an angle to justify denial or coerce the companies
to accept permanent FBI wiretap equipment. This demonstrates how desperate
the government is to allow no breaches or loopholes in its Echelon
spy system.

THE MARINES GET A CLINTON MAN FOR
COMMANDANT
The new Commandant of the Marine Corpse is General
James Jones, who has spent the last 4 years as a the chief military
advisor to Clinton's Defense Secretary, William Cohen. A Marine General
who can not only stomach the perfidy that went on in the Kosovo invasion,
but help plan and implement it is bound to allow the Corps to be used
for even more globalist affairs than occurred under the former Commandant,
General Krulak. Krulak, though a very good man, was still too imbued
with military yesmanship to speak out against excessive budget cuts,
PDD-60 (which destroyed our "launch on warning" nuclear doctrine),
and the use of urban Marine training aimed directly at the confiscation
of weapons from American citizens. Think what can happen with a willing
and eager yes-man for Commandant. Forget Jones' hard- charging formulas
for change in the Corps, which will be as dazzling as his ego-- watch
what he does to further the globalist agenda.

REPLACEMENT EXECUTIVE ORDER ON
FEDERALISM IS A SHAM
EO 13083 was the hotly contested Clinton Executive
Order giving federal agencies broad new powers to write rules that
would be binding on state governments. E.O.s are supposed to be intra-
federal directives limited exclusively directing federal agencies
and the military, and not individuals or the states. Technically,
only administrative rules to implement existing law can be created
by an EO and NOT new law. However, the legal lines are increasingly
blurred as Congress continues to grant excessively broad and sweeping
powers to federal agencies, who, in turn, write increasingly onerous
and detailed implementation rules that were not contemplated by Congress.
EO 13083 was created as a means of quietly formalizing what the Administrative
side of government has been doing for years--writing rules that are,
in effect, new law and thereby infringing upon the lawmaking powers
of Congress. The Supreme Court has steadfastly refused for decades
to intervene in this unconstitutional power grab. The attempt to formalize
these intrusions on federalism backfired when the Internet picked
up the story, prompting Republicans in Congress and many governors
to demand the EO's removal. Clinton only suspended the order temporarily,
leaving the door open for a deceptive rewrite. White House officials
then picked a high level advisory group of compliant state officials
from around the country to give the appearance of being sensitive
to federalism issues. As expected, the resulting replacement EO (#13075)
plays lip service to consulting with the states, but, in the end,
contains virtually no language that prohibits a Federal Agency from
disregarding those consultations.
ANALYSIS: As usual, the states and people of the
US get the lip service while the Feds get the power. My readers should
learn this key lesson about government power, which is applicable
to all levels of government, especially public schools: It doesn't
matter in the least who has INPUT to the decisionmaking process. The
only questions is: Who has the final authority and power to decide
the issue when there is a difference of opinion? The deciding person
or group becomes the ONLY one with ANY authority. Like so many government
provisions that mandate consultations with citizens or their representatives,
there is no requirement to obtain the actual consent of those consulted.
Without this consent provision, the Feds can do whatever they want
so as long as they consult with states first. According to Section
3, whenever an agency creates a regulation preempting state law, the
new EO requires that "the agency shall consult, to the extent practicable,
with appropriate State and local officials in an effort to avoid such
a conflict." That statement is full of loopholes, big enough to drive
an Amtrak through. As the Washington Times said, "Despite all the
consulting, agencies are not prohibited from doing what they choose
to do." And, in today's world, anything a federal agency is NOT prohibited
from doing is considered fair game for an extension of federal power.
This concept is in total opposition to the 10th Amendment language
which specifically restricts the Feds only to what is specifically
authorized in the Constitution. The ultimate loophole in this new
EO was linked to the magic concept of "national emergency." The press
release from the White House said it all: ""At the same time, the
Order makes clear that federal action is appropriate in the presence
of a problem of national scope or significance." The words "national
significance" is an even more dangerous extension of lawmaking power
than a national emergency. What legal criteria can successfully bind
a president's opinion of what is significant? None at all--and that's
the problem.

MORE COPY CAT GUN KILLINGS STOKE
THE FIRES FOR GUN CONTROL
COMMENTARY ONLY: This week's killings (the Georgia
day-trader and the disgruntled Alabama air conditioning employee)
are certain to heat up the momentum of the anti-gun lobby to restrict
American access to guns. While establishment hacks continue to blame
access to guns as the problem, pro Second Amendment groups like Gun
Owners of America correctly point out that guns have always been available,
and the recent increase of mass killings has much more to do with
moral collapse than access to the weapons. True enough, but I'll go
one further. No one who is reasonably sane (and both these latest
perpetrators were sane) does this kind of killing without being heavily
influenced by satanic depression and spiritual goading from evil feelings.
More and more we see a rising influence of Satan in our weakening
moral structure. While establishment counseling is viewed as the cure-all
to society's moral ills, it is totally ineffective against this increasing
form of spiritual evil. Indeed, worldly counseling does not even recognize
the existence of spiritual forces, whether good or evil. While I don't
intend to delve into a discussion of theological issues, I would be
remiss if I did not point out that we are dealing with a joint conspiracy
of Luciferian forces and human forces--each doing his part to remove
this last hurdle to government tyranny and control. To see how often
people are being induced to engage in mass killings in America is
an ominous and telling sign of how crucial evil forces view the removal
of gun rights. If you have ever been passive in your concern for this
issue, it's time to wake up and realize that it (along with the issue
of national sovereignty) are the only two major barriers left to our
loss of liberty (in the eyes of the Left). They effectively control
everything else. Each of these two issues is under heavy assault in
the media and foreshadows the relative nearness of the establishment's
countdown to their vaunted New World Order.

MORE EVIDENCE OF JUDICIAL CONSPIRACY
The Associated Press reported that a top US District
Judge (Norma H. Johnson), who is in charge of assigning cases in the
DC area to lower judges, is suspected of purposely bypassing the traditional
random assignment system in order to help the Clinton Administration
find favorable judges. Random selection is supposed to keep any party
from engaging in "judge shopping." In this case, Judge Johnson is
making sure sensitive cases against Bill Clinton and the government
go to friendly judges. For example she sent a criminal case against
``Charlie'' Trie to Clinton appointee, Judge Paul L. Friedman, who
promptly dismissed all charges against Trie. One of Friedman's rulings
was reversed on appeal, but another judge allowed the Justice Department
to intervene again with a weak plea-bargain guilty plea. Sentencing
will be a proverbial slap on the wrist only. In another high profile
case, she sent the tax fraud case of Webb Hubbell to another Clinton
friend, US District Judge James Robertson. Robertson dismissed the
tax case against Hubbell, and it was overturned on appeal. Hubbell
eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser misdemeanor after the case was
reinstated, and got a light sentence. Robertson then got assigned
to another Hubbell case charging him with lying to bank regulators.
Robertson again dismissed the case. After being reversed on appeal,
Hubbell pleaded guilty. In another government sensitive case this
week, US District Judge Richard Paez let John Huang of the Chinagate
Scandal off the hook with no jail time. He received a measly $10,000
fine and 500 hours of community service for being a illegal conduit
of campaign contributions from the Chinese Government to the Clinton
Administration. He bragged that he planned to use his community service
time to instruct Asian Americans on how to become politically active.
ANALYSIS: This happens all the time and in all
US federal court districts, not just the DC area. As Clinton continues
to stack the federal benches with leftist judges, collusion will only
get worse. The problem does not have its solution in a change of administration.
Republican Presidents also appoint liberal judges to the bench. George
Bush jr. proclaims that he will appoint only judges who will interpret
the Constitution strictly, but I believe this is simple posturing
to please conservatives. Like his father, George Bush works for the
same dark side of government that Clinton does. At least two CIA whistle
blowers have testified that the government runs a payola system for
many judges kept on "retainer" to do the will of the government. They
get their payments through cross border banks in Canada or through
selected Casinos in the US where large batches of chips are available
to them, which they can play or cash. These same CIA agent-defectors
estimate that fully 70% of the federal bench is on the take. See Rodney
Stich's book, Defrauding America for an incredible first hand account
of judicial abuse of power (1-800-292-2831).

NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT RULES
AGAINST BSA
New Jersey Supreme court stretched the interpretation
of the state's discrimination law to the limit in ruling that Boy
Scouts of America must allow homosexual leaders. The Law Against Discrimination
in New Jersey clearly mentions that the law applies only to access
to public accommodations, and goes on to list many examples of PLACES
which constitute public accommodations. All previous courts have ruled
that a private organization is not a "public accommodation". The activist
New Jersey court finally did what everyone expected in ruling that
the Boy Scouts are a public accommodation, even though a private organization
with no fixed place of meeting. (Boy Scout troops are typically hosted
by another organization with their own building). The NJ Supreme Court
stated that any organization that solicits members from the general
public is a 'public accommodation' and is, therefore, subject to the
provisions of the LAD (Law Against Discrimination). As a 'place of
public accommodation,' it cannot deny any person 'accommodations,
advantages, facilities, and privileges ... because of ... sexual orientation."
The Boy Scouts claim, however, that even if the group is a place of
public accommodation, it is still exempt from the LAD because it is
a "distinctively private" organization, a religious educational facility,
and falling under the loco parentis exception (when an organization
is acting in place of the parents). The BSA will appeal to the US
Supreme Court.
ANALYSIS: It is a real stretch to claim the BSA
is a "public accommodation." Everyone knows it is not, including the
homosexual lobby. This would be ludicrous on its face alone, but the
ruling is even more dangerous due to the underlying legal reasoning
used by the court. The NJ court is trying to make the novel argument
that soliciting membership for private organization from the general
public makes it a public organization and therefore subject to discrimination
provisions. Were this argument to be accepted by and ratified by the
US Supreme Court in the coming appeal, almost all private organizations
will lose their private status, for all but a tiny minority solicit
members from the public. Religions that proselytize would be denied
private status. Even though the establishment-controlled US Supreme
Court will eventually rule in favor of further bans on discrimination,
this wording goes too far. I doubt the Court will make this giant
leap. The potential public backlash is too powerful.

GEORGE BUSH JR'S DRUG CONNECTIONS
One of the pundits on national TV made the naive statement
that "journalists have tried in vain to find any credible evidence
of George Bush jr's involvement with drugs." How convenient. The media's
self-anointed and created "front runner" clearly has some drug skeletons
in the closet but George jr. isn't telling any details. His evasions
are every bit as carefully crafted as Bill Clinton's. I'm still searching
my sources for the details on George jr's drug use, but there is plenty
on the Bush family itself. In Rodney Stich's book DEFRAUDING AMERICA
we find the best overall compendium of the workings of the dark side
of government. In it and his new book, DRUGGING AMERICA, there are
pages of CIA and DEA whistleblower testimony documenting George Bush,
involvement in CIA drug trafficking operations as CIA chief, VP and
President. For example, one former federal agent, Darlene Novinger,
told Stich that "she discovered during an FBI investigation that Vice
President George Bush and two of his sons were using drugs and prostitutes
in a Florida hotel room while he was Vice President. Stich recently
queried Novinger about which sons were involved, and Novinger indicated
that she did not remember George jr being involved in this particular
drug-sex incident. But the fact that the father was proportedly involved
in this corruption of his sons is potentially damaging to the family
conservative reputation. Stich is continuing to search the matter
among his many sources and will keep me posted. DEFRAUDING AMERICA
and DRUGGING AMERICA, are available by calling his publisher at 1-800-247-7389.

REPUBLICANS THAT WANT TO KEEP A
DRAFT INTACT
Few on Capitol Hill foresee Congress and the President
reviving the draft. But, amazingly, there has been a recent increase
in demands, particularly among Republicans on major military committees,
for at least consideration of forced conscription. Rep. Floyd Spence,
R-S.C., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, called the
military's recruiting and retention problem ''a desperate situation
that keeps getting worse.'' He suggests increased peacekeeping deployments
such as those in Bosnia and Kosovo may force Congress to consider
conscription in some form. Abolition supporters suggest that, if Congress
and the President decide to authorize a return to the draft, the system
could be re-established quickly.
ANALYSIS: Why doesn't Congress get the message
that most Americans aren't interested in serving as "peacekeepers"
in the NWO's phony wars. Even if they "abolish" the draft, it is clear
they only intend to mothball it--all the records and bureaucracy will
stay in place. With either party, we are destined to have our children
continually under the threat of being pressed into the service of
the NWO. If you register your sons for the draft, make sure you write
on the form: "Conscientious objector for any service involving the
United Nations or Treaty organizations" and keep a photostatic copy.
This will give you some legal standing as having made a consistent
stand against future NWO service.

JFK JR. ASSASSINATION:
Evidence continues to mount that JFK jr. and passengers
were killed by an altitude triggered bomb planted in the tail section
of the plane. Here is the evidence: Kennedy's sister in law's (Lauren
Bessette) suitcase was found miles out in the ocean, away from the
crash site. Lawyer Victor Pribanic was on the shore fishing and heard
the explosion from the same location and time frame where the plane
went down. The wreckage of the plane was recovered under "national
security" conditions and no reporters were allowed to see or photograph
it. The wreckage was loaded on to sealed containers and taken away.
The FAA report indicated the recovered engine was fully functional.
The presumed bad weather that caused Kennedy to spiral into the water
was some 8 miles away from the crash site at that time, so the report
of bad weather was part of the cover-up.
ANALYSIS: I have been very skeptical from the
beginning when these reports of conspiracy began to surface. As I
reported earlier, the "powers that be" would have had every reason
to groom JFK jr. as a future president, and hardly any reason to want
him eliminated. However, it appears that the "powers that be" have
to deal with factions within, just like every other criminal syndicates,
and JFK jr. was a victim of a war between conspiring factions. Here
is an overview of the major players and how Kennedy got into the middle.
While there is growing central control over the dark side of government,
there are various factions below the top levels trying to vie for
recognition and power. The CIA is the "enforcement arm" of the dark
side of government and often uses Israeli Mossad agents both to facilitate
international drug operations (for a cut in the take) and to carry
out assassinations the US doesn't want to handle. The Kennedy killing
appears to be one of them. Here is how it may all connect together:
The Clinton team is the lead ball carrier for NWO leaders in the US,
but this dark side of government has had to maintain liaisons with
dozens of political and criminal syndicates, both to consolidate and
hold onto its power base. NWO leaders could never have gained the
upper hand without the initial cooperation with old guard democratic
machines who have long controlled power in New York, Chicago, LA,
and Miami, etc. The democratic machine in New York is controlled by
the Wagner group, who has close ties with the orthodox Jewish sector
and is very pro-Israel, although liberal. This old-line democratic
party machine has been battling the Clinton team's attempt to shove
Hillary Clinton down their throats in NY. The radical feminist section
of the NWO group (backing the Clintons) has big plans to launch Hillary
onto the world political stage through her carpetbagging move to NY,
but the Democratic party machine in NY will have none of it. The Wagner
group, according to one Democratic insider, countered Hillary's intrusion
by approaching JFK jr. to run against her in the primary. They even
offered monetary support for Kennedy's faltering George Magazine to
sweeten the pie. Kennedy was reportedly set to announce his candidacy
on Labor Day. For this, he had to be eliminated and insiders say the
CIA got the Mossad to plant the altitude triggered bomb in the tail
section of the plane. There is a lot of cloak and dagger stuff going
on here, which I clearly can't verify. But there does appear to be
a credible motive now. I have never believed the conservative's wishful
thinking that the Kennedys were killed because they were going to
blow the whistle on the POB. The forensic evidence clearly points
to a bomb, and once again the government's secrecy surrounding the
wreckage recovery certainly looks like TWA 800 all over again. The
government is clearly involved in some way and is hiding something
significant. I'll keep you posted.

NEW LIES FOR OLD--RENO SPINS THE
NEW WACO REVELATIONS
Here is a summary of the latest revelations on FBI
cover-up and lies concerning the Waco, Mt. Carmel compound.
There is photographic and physical evidence that the
FBI fired M651 40mm explosive CS (tear gas) rounds into the compound,
despite repeated denials to the contrary.
One US Army Colonel and one US Army Brigadier General,
both experts in special warfare operations, were dressed in civilian
clothes and flown from Washington to Waco in FBI aircraft to plan
to help execute the final destruction of Waco. These procedures were
clearly done to avoid discovery of Army Special Forces involvement,
in violation of the legal prohibition of Army personnel being used
in civilian cases.
US Army weapons, aircraft and high tech surveillance
equipment were used in the attack, without Army markings, also in
violation of existing law.
Newly released (by FOIA demand) Forward Looking Infra-red
(FLIR) camera film taken by the FBI during the assault not only shows
men emerging from a tank and firing automatic weapons into the rear
of the compound (to stop anyone from escaping) but comes complete
with government pilots describing the movements of the men, dressed
in black, as it happens. FBI spokesman Byron Sage admitted these recordings
contained tactical conversations of the FBI HRT (Hostage Rescue Team)
and contained discussions of use of CS explosive shells. These tactic
conversations were transmitted in real time via satellite uplink to
the White House situation room.
ANALYSIS: For Janet Reno to continue to deny knowledge
of this is predictable but beyond justifiable belief. The physical
evidence of the use of explosive CS grenades has been in the custody
of Texas Rangers for years, but prohibited from being seen by any
one except by direct permission of the Justice Department (which was
never granted). For the Justice Department to demand jurisdiction
over who sees the evidence, is good evidence that they knew of its
damaging significance to the official story. The Rangers confirm that
the Feds have always known what was in their custody. The cover-up
continues today with the collusion of a local federal judge who has
seized the evidence and put it under court seal. The two special forces
field officers (Col. Boykin and Gen. Shoomaker) are obviously accessories
to the illegal Army participation. According to a former CIA officer,
Gene Cullen, as reported in The Dallas Morning News, their surreptitious
travel arrangements in civilian clothes via the FBI rather than military
aircraft was meant to leave no paper trail of their presence in Waco.
The systematic lying and official denials from several government
agencies points to some form of conspiracy. These arrangements could
not have been made except through the highest official channels, since
they involved illegal acts of more than one agency. As World Net Daily
pointed out, the two officers have since been well rewarded for this
and other services to the dark side of government. They have both
been promoted rapidly in rank over their contemporaries--Col. Boykin
to Lt. Gen. in command of US Army Special Ops (the dirty tricks side
of Delta Force) and Shoomaker to CIC of US Special Operations Command
(the boss over all Army black operations that Congress has no knowledge
of). After reviewing this and other data on a television special,
Ted Kopel could not resist calling for Reno's resignation. But that
won't help. This conspiracy of government control goes well beyond
any individual player. When Reno goes, they will simply give us a
"kinder, gentler" face who will still carry out the same policies.
The establishment has long learned that all they have to do is make
the appearance of doing something and the public will go back to sleep.
A Justice Department spokesman told CNN that Reno is looking to appoint
an "outside investigator" to look into this matter. It won't help.
They have any number of yes-men in the sidelines, like Ken Starr,
who will spend a lot of money and make a splash, but won't ever indict
the top leaders responsible. They will dismiss a few fall guys in
the FBI or Justice Department (who will be quickly hired by big corporations
closely connected to the PTB [powers that be], and it will be business
as usual.

SELECTIVE STATISTICS ON HATE CRIMES
Walter Williams, the respected free-market economist,
reports that the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) has buried
in its pages some interesting details about the tendency of various
minorities to commit "hate crimes". In 1994, for example, there were
"about 1,700,000 interracial crimes, of which 1,276,030 involved whites
and blacks. In 90 percent of the cases, a white was the victim and
a black was the perpetrator, while in 10 percent of the cases it was
the reverse." As Walter noted, in spite of this overwhelming lopsidedness
in racial crimes against whites. "In 1997, there were 2,336 whites
charged with anti-black crimes and 718 blacks charged with anti-white
crimes.
ANALYSIS: Clearly if a black commits a crime against
"Whitey", federal prosecutors tend to label it a normal crime, but
if a white person attacks a black, the suspicion is always a "hate
crime." This clearly indicates that the concept of "hate crimes" is
being used to create special protections in law for favored minorities,
to include homosexuals. In fact, the black protection factor may simply
be a side effect of the establishment's attempt to create a special
crime of homosexual backlash. As Walter pointed out, "Regardless of
race, criminal violence is despicable and deserving of condemnation.
But far more destructive are the official and unofficial attempts
to mislead and conceal. Roughly 400 members of the major print and
electronic media were invited to the press conference on, 'The Color
of Crime'--a special report outlining the true nature of racial crimes.
But only 14 reporters stayed for the briefing and only a couple reported
on the study, most notably The Washington Times and C-Span. One reporter
said that he'd like to write a story but he doubted he could get it
by his editor." That is what they call using the "spike" (paper spindle)
in journalism--an editor spiking a story means, refusing to print
it. "If the facts pointed the other way around," said Williams, "everybody
from The New York Times and President Clinton to the NAACP, Jesse
Jackson and the Congressional Black Caucus would be shouting about
it and demanding that something be done, said Williams. Walter Williams
is probably the only nationally syndicated columnist that could get
away with this commentary--he is black, and very much a champion of
liberty

JOHN DANFORTH CHOSEN TO LEAD RENO'S
NEW WHITEWASH OF WACO
Former Senator from Missouri, John Danforth, has been
picked by Attorney General Janet Reno to investigate FBI misconduct
in the WACO killings. Although a secret liberal, with close connections
to the Powers that Be (PTB) Danforth curried favor with conservatives
with his sponsorship and defense of Supreme Court Justice Clarence
Thomas. Danforth, 63, served two terms as Missouri's attorney general
(where he hired Thomas just out of law school) and served three terms
in the US Senate. He was trained as a liberal Episcopalian Priest
and never shrinks from using his "man of the cloth" credentials to
increase his moderate or neutral image. He carried water for the Clintons
on more than one occasion. When chosen for the select committee on
Entitlements, he endorsed controversial changes in Medicare and Social
Security that were as bad as Hillary's Health Care initiatives. It
is no wonder he was beloved by Democrats and the press.
ANALYSIS: Danforth is anything but neutral. Like
many Attorney Generals for the State of Missouri, they do their first
work for the PTB as a facilitator for the CIA in setting up illicit
operations and proprietary companies in Missouri--a state, like Colorado,
where the dark side of government has heavy influence in state government,
the courts and police operations. During his years in the Senate,
according to The Atlanta Constitution and Mother Jones (a leftist
rag) Danforth, the supposed "conscience of the Senate", engaged in
many stock purchases related to legislation that was pending in the
Senate and profited handsomely. But like Hillary Clinton's magic one
day $100,000 commodities trading windfall, Danforth was similarly
protected from scrutiny by the establishment and never was challenged
for this obvious trading with insider information. The establishment
always "takes care of their own" and is especially adept at allowing
favored persons to take advantage of insider deals that would be otherwise
illegal for normal citizens. After being protected by the DOJ (Dept.
of Justice) for so many years, Danforth is hardly going to prosecute
his benefactors. Besides, as is standard procedure, all his investigative
staff will come from a pool of FBI agents working for the dark side
of government. The public will get tough rhetoric from Danforth, but
I predict that only a few former FBI agents (already retired) will
be blamed. Reno will be absolved, and pledge anew that such mistakes
are "behind us". Don't count on it. The standard cover for government
misdeeds is to blame the mistake on one or two "rogue agents", which
effectively deflects any conclusions pointing to a broader based conspiracy.
One thing for sure, you can add Danforth or any other such person
chosen to whitewash government misconduct, to the black list of collaborators.
The PTB only selects predictable followers, under their effective
control, to investigate and whitewash conspiratorial behavior.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS MORE TO HIDE
IN VACCINE RESEARCH
In order to bring the public eye of scrutiny to millions
of tax dollars spent on pork barrel research projects, Senator Richard
Shelby (R-AL) successfully inserted a two-sentence requirement into
P.L. 105-277 last fall that permits public access to federally-funded
research data under FOIA guidelines. But the feds came along and by
OMB edict effectively removed all federally-funded vaccine research
from public access. One has to question, with all the new and on-going
revelations on vaccine side affects and deaths (especially early vaccination
of children) "what is the government trying to hide?" Answer: A lot.
Vaccines are polluted with many harmful chemicals and animal toxic
products. The newest ones attempt to alter the immune system and can
contribute to many auto-immune diseases.

AN INSIDER MAKES A SLIP OF THE
TONGUE ON TAPE:
CNN producer Jack Smith who produced the controversial
Tailwind story (charging that the US government killed their own US
prisoners of war in Laos to silence them), inadvertently tapped a
sensitive phone conversation involving himself and his CNN bosses
during the heat of the controversy. Listen to what came out at the
end of one exchange: This is Smith speaking to CEO Thomas Johnson
of CNN: "Fairness is not being accomplished here. They should not
go forward with any public release until we, the principals of this
story, who've been gagged for the last two weeks, have an opportunity
to speak about it. They have gagged us. They have deceived us and
they have misled us and every reporter in this room should know that.
This is a corporate whitewash. This is a cave to the military establishment,
to the secret army which is one step away from the secret police."
ANALYSIS: Even though the references to secret
Army and secret police are not specific or clarified, the fact that
Smith mentioned these terms without any conditions or explanations
meant that his bosses at CNN were well aware of their existence and
needed no explanation. This is telling, and presents very credible
evidence of media complicity in the dark side of government.
L.A. POLICE CORRUPTION:
After a key Gang Squad officer in Los Angeles is accused
of stealing a cool $ million in confiscated cocaine, Police Chief
Bernard Parks promised to scour the entire city to get to the bottom
of a rogue-cop scandal.
ANALYSIS: This is the standard way of dealing
with systematic corruption--blaming any incident on the workings of
one or more "rogue" elements within the department. The truth is,
as attested to by hundreds of honest police officers who have left
police work over the years, that corruption is rampant in virtually
every police department in every major city in the world. Police Chiefs
are always political appointments meant to balance the political need
to appear tough on crime, while allowing the PTB (powers that be)
to continue to control the corrupt affairs of state. This control
always involves some cover-up of crimes and conspiracy that require
suppression of key police investigations. Very few of these big crimes
occur without complicity of the higher police officials and local
prosecutors. However, they never take the rap. The public is trained
to go back to sleep as soon as some lower "rogue cop" is hung out
dry for the crime.
When my uncle, W. Cleon Skousen took over as Police
Chief of Salt Lake City in the early 60's he immediately set out to
clean up graft and corruption--thinking he had the support of the
local Mayor and Governor. It didn't take the establishment long to
realize Skousen was overzealous and couldn't be controlled--and thus
had to go. The city's Mayor, J Bracken Lee reportedly called Skousen
into his office and explained to him "how the world works" in any
big city and why he needed to stop being so zealous in his prosecution
of gambling and prostitution. Interestingly enough, Mayor Lee was
no liberal in the political spectrum--he was a conservative Republican.
But clearly his conservative leanings did not spill over into the
moral realm. Cleon Skousen refused to ease up on crime and was fired.
The scandal broke wide open when Skousen revealed what the Mayor had
tried to get him to do, but the media was able to put the issue to
sleep by selective spin control.

MORE EVIDENCE THAT MICROSOFT HAS
SECRET DEALINGS WITH THE NSA
Computer-security specialists are warning that unusual
features are contained inside Microsoft's Windows 95 and 98 operating
systems that enables and controls a range of security functions. In
particular, the Microsoft Cryptographic API (MS-CAPI) authenticates
modules signed by Microsoft, letting them run without user intervention.
These modules have several software "keys" (computerized passwords)
allowing only 1 or 2 insiders to access these functions. Now, a North
Carolina security company has disassembled these modules and discovered
that one of the authorized owner of keys to this secret back door
is none other than the NSA--the top secret National Security Agency.
The Microsoft key was titled simply "key" and the other key was titled
"NSAKEY". It is little wonder that Microsoft refused to provide any
documentation on these features. How many other big corporations have
secret deals with the government allowing the NSA to invade our privacy
without a warrant?

NATIONAL ID IS TEMPORARILY DEFEATED
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 also authorizes the Federal Department of Transportation
to establish national requirements for birth certificates and driver's
licenses. "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.
"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. 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." These provisions were scheduled to take effect on Oct.
1, 2000, but legislation passed just this week removes such a requirement.
ANALYSIS: Don't breathe a sigh of relief yet.
Most states have already begun to comply with these requirements,
assuming (correctly) that the mandate is inevitable. Almost all companies
that provide high-tech license manufacturing equipment to states are
only producing machines that meet these requirements. So when states
upgrade to new equipment, they are forced to comply with the new standards.
Once "voluntary" unified drivers licenses are implemented, location
control of people will be much more easy to implement--without new
legislation. The big goal of the Powers That Be (PTB) is to link fingerprints
or other human data with new ID's so that true ID can be traced even
with a false name. When a sufficient number of required "gateways"
are established throughout the economy (airlines, toll booths, ATMs,
car registration, banks, schools, etc.) it will be nearly impossible
for any individual to avoid being tracked as to location and economic
activity--unless he or she chooses to opt out of society completely.

RESURRECTION TIME FOR GOLD--BUT
MOSTLY FOR INSIDERS
After years of central bank gold sales, artificially
driving down the price of gold, the establishment has suddenly switched
strategies and is allowing the price to rise. This deserves some analysis
since none of this has happened by accident and it is still the subject
of heavy manipulation. I will give a very brief analysis at this time,
and hope to have a more complete picture later on this year. The big
players in this manipulation of gold have been US and European central
banks, Russia, Middle Eastern Oil countries, the IMF, bullion banks/brokers,
and the big mining companies. It's much more complex than I have room
to explain, but here is a capsule version:
US and European central banks, in collusion with
Russia (for unknown secret promises--probably future cash and loans
to the elite), began dumping gold on the market several years ago
in order to drive the price down. This, we now believe, was intended
to negatively impact the gold mining industry and put it in distress.
Geo-politically, it also destabilized several African nations who
were highly dependent upon gold production and sales in order to finance
internal military and economic stability. But unknown to the general
public, a huge market developed among insiders to "short" the gold
market and make millions of dollars as the price went down. Giant
hedge funds, all closely connected with the PTB, also got into gold
short contracts in order to profit from what they knew was a guaranteed
downward direction of gold prices. Because of the phenomenal profits
in gold short contracts, central banks and bullion banks (who broker
and store the physical metal for producers) began leasing out the
physical gold to insiders, as well, who then would sell at a markup,
counting on their ability to buy back the physical gold later, at
cheaper prices, when demanded for repayment. This only works as a
profitable strategy as gold is going down. If gold rises, they have
to buy it back at a higher price, which is disastrous financially.
Gold market watchers began to observe last year that the total amount
of gold leases and short contracts (a difficult quantity to ascertain
without insider connections) actually exceeded the total supply by
many fold. So it became obvious that whenever the price started to
rise, those insiders shorting gold and leasing gold would be unable
to recover. When the price of gold started to rise dramatically (biggest
one day rise in history) following the announcement by European banks
and the IMF to stop gold sales for the next five years, this was the
death knell for those insiders shorting gold. The central banks have
also agreed not to increase their gold lending arrangements and derivative
operations above current levels for the next five years. Never before
have the big boys announced so openly what they were going to do in
advance. The announcement of a five year date guaranteed a bull market
in gold. It wasn't meant to benefit those who would now buy gold,
but rather to destroy those who had been induced to short the market.
Not only would the price of gold rise, but there wouldn't be enough
gold available at any price to pay off the outstanding contracts.
It was difficult trying to figure out why the
establishment would let their buddies (whoever they were, and who
had been encouraged to short the market) get caught in a no win situation.
We may have found a major part of the answer in analyzing WHO the
actual players were who were shorting the gold market. By and large,
it was the big mining companies themselves, coupled with hedge funds
connected to mining interests. Apparently, the big mines were induced
by bullion bankers to enter into the hedging game (shorting the market,
and selling future production forward) as a means of surviving the
downward market in gold. Little did the big mines know that they were
being set up for bankruptcy by these insider bullion banks/brokers
when the price of gold would finally rise. Since the number of short
contracts outstrips even the mine's own future production, there is
no way the mines can pay back the gold that was shorted. Rather than
be able to take advantage of the increasing price to recover (as the
public thinks), the mines are now in BIG trouble. I believe that the
PTB have set them up intentionally so as to be able to buy them out
and control the world's biggest gold mines. If this is true, it is
a very important prelude to depression and war. When the insiders
go out to control most of the world's gold, you can bet that the inflation
of paper currencies is not far off. The dollar's fall is now imminent

NUCLEAR TEST BAN TREATY DEFEATED
The media pulled out all the propaganda stops
to try and put a favorable light on this major pillar of disarmament,
but it wasn't enough to overcome the lingering conviction among liberal
Republicans that everyone in the world is cheating on non-proliferation--so
why not on a test ban? After powerful arguments by a handful of conservative
senators, the Senate defeated the treaty along mostly party lines.
French President Chirac joined in the fray on the anti-nuke side,
even though his first act when Prime Minister in the early 90's was
to reestablish nuclear testing after the ban imposed by French (underground
Communist) President Francois Mitterand. Another Marxist German Chancellor,
Gehardt Schroeder also condemned, predictably, the US rejection of
the treaty, as did NWO leader Tony Blair. In case you haven't noticed,
almost every major country in Europe is now ruled by leaders with
Marxist backgrounds: D'Lema in Italy, Jospin in France, Schroeder
in Germany, and Blair in Britain. . But the most hypocritical of all
US denouncers in the treaty debate were Russia and China. Both are
unabashed violators of every treaty on both nuclear and conventional
weapons. Even the CIA reported that on Sept. 8 the Russians "may"
have exploded a nuclear device at their test facility at Novaya Zemlya.
That's clearly a gross understatement of the facts meant to protect
Russia. What the CIA failed to mention is that Russia and China have
been testing nuclear weapons almost every other month during the entire
last decade. Bringing up one "iffy" case smacks of trying to cover-up
for other massive violations. There are one or two internet sites
that have access to the world's seismic detection services. These
Web services show that one of the most active areas of ground shaking
activity during the past 10 years has been the Russia test site at
Novaya Zemlya. Hardly a coincidence. There are several other active
sites in China. Thus, when the media trots out China and Russia and
allows them to condemn the US position without mentioning their own
position of hypocrisy, it points to extreme bias and deception.

MORE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION COLLUSION
WITH CHINA UNCOVERED
Softwar.net, one of my favorite Internet investigative
sites, did some excellent detective work and discovered that the Clinton
Administration committed serious fraud in disguising secret military
training visits by top Chinese military officers as a "civil airline
modernization program." Recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents
from FAA files contain official USAF, Commerce Dept. and FAA reports
on Chinese military contacts. According to the Softwar.net discoveries,
People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) officers toured Edwards
Air Force Base in May 1999 for military purposes. The PLAAF officers
were given training on USAF combat missions, including "bombing and
strafing" and "combat readiness." In 1994, then Secretary of Defense
William Perry began a "Joint Defense" conversion project with Chinese
general, Ding Henggao. General Ding was the commander of the Chinese
Army Unit "COSTIND" (Commission on Science, Technology and Industry
for National Defense). Softwar.net indicates that the documented meetings
shows that the Clinton Administration attempted to conceal the military
background of the Chinese representatives from everyone, including
FAA officials. In 1993, a Chinese military delegation visited America.
Yet, according the FAA, which sponsored the visit, the entire delegation
was civilian. The 1993 FAA delegation list includes a "Mr. Kui Fulin"
who toured FAA Headquarters in Washington, Andrews AFB in Maryland,
and Boeing aircraft Corporation in Washington state. "Mr. Kui Fulin"
was actually General Kui Fulin, Chinese Army Deputy Chief of the General
Staff. The 1993 FAA list states "Mr. Li Yongtai" was the Commissioner
of the Air Traffic Control Commission of China. According to notes
taken by the FAA, Mr. Li Yongtai was actually "Lt. General" Li Yongtai
of the Chinese Air Force.
COMMENTARY: With this kind of collusion and conspiracy
to obscure the facts, it seems rather naive that Congress would expect
the Clinton Administration to actually comply with its latest request
for a complete list of Chinese front companies in the US attempting
to gain access to US technology.

COLT ARMS JOINS THE CONSPIRACY
AGAINST PRIVATE WEAPONS
The media has been having a field day with the announcement
that Colt Manufacturing, Inc. is getting out of the civilian gun market.
They are playing this as if fear has begun to take hold of gun manufacturers
due to trumped up liability lawsuits, including those from several
major US cities. But there is much more to this turncoat attitude
at Colt than meets the eye. Colt is under new ownership with a liberal
agenda.
ANALYSIS: Colt Manufacturing, of New Hartford,
CT., is now owned by New York banker, Donald Zilkha, who still maintains
his Iraqi citizenship. Zilkha is in the process of using his insider
contacts with big government to garner exclusive military contracts
outside the normal bid process. He is also attempting to gain control
of an estimated 65% of the world's arms market. The rest of the world's
market is controlled by Russia and China. Zilkha has already purchased
SACO Defense. He made an attempt to buy Remington, and Fabrique National
(which makes automatic assault rifles as well as Browning and Winchester
sporting arms), but failed. He recently tried to take over Vektor
Arms, the largest military arms producer on the African continent.
He's even trying to purchase Heckler & Koch, the European military
arms giant. He will probably be successful at buying up the other
American gunmaker, Smith & Wesson, simply because this company
is actually looking for a buyer. If he is successful in buying S&W
and then ceases to sell to the public, it could have a major impact
on the private supply of defensive weapons for citizens. A few key
analysts suspect that Zilkha has made some sort of private agreement
with the government to cut off private sales in exchange for exclusive
military contracts. Colt lost to Fabrique National the rights to manufacture
the M-16 (which Colt originally developed). But now, as compensation
for some unknown promise, Colt has emerged with a special contract
from the Clinton Pentagon to manufacture a weapon with slightly new
requirements, called the M-4. All of you military guys are scratching
your head and asking what's an M-4? Good question. It turns out to
be an M-16 with a few minor cosmetic changes. Since this is a "new"
weapon, Colt got an exclusive contract because no one else could bid
on what didn't exist yet.

ELIZABETH DOLE BOWS OUT OF PRESIDENTIAL
RACE
ANALYSIS: Elizabeth Dole never was running for
President--she was running for Vice President and ran a brief presidential
campaign in order to establish her position in the public eye (and
so the media could say nice things about her). Just as in the case
of George W. Bush, this is a media-made candidate. It is no coincidence
that virtually every news source who reported on Dole's pulling out
of the race mentioned her as a "likely" Vice Presidential candidate.
Coincidence? Hardly! Even President Clinton made a public statement
on her behalf. That should tell us something. Keep in mind that we
are watching out for projections concerning Elizabeth Dole's VP candidacy
as a litmus test as to who one of the king makers are. I reported
earlier in the year that Dwayne Andreas (Chairman of the globalist
agri-giant, ADM) had told a golfing buddy over 2 years ago that George
Bush and Liddy Dole would be the next President and VP of the USA.
Looks like either Andreas is very prescient or he is one of the king
makers, along with David Rockefeller and other yet unknown power brokers
who call the shots.

DISINFORMATION ON MARINE CORPS
URBAN TRAINING IN ARIZONA
This week, the USMC was conducting small scale urban
assault training exercises in various parts of Arizona, including
the Phoenix area. After the huge backlash over Delta Force live fire
exercises in Corpus Christi, Texas, the Marine Corps was ready with
pat answers to anticipated questions--none of which make sense to
the savvy observer. While admitting that the Marines have half a dozen
static urban training centers, Marine Corps spokesman Abraham defended
the need to train in more realistic "live" environments similar to
what they would face "abroad." But even more troubling was the role
the FBI was playing during the exercises. Again, the USMC spokesman
discounted any sinister reason for the FBI presence: "the FBI was
acting merely as a liaison between the Marine Corps and local law
enforcement officials," he said. This is a Marine Corps training exercise.
At no time has the FBI assumed operational control over it."
ANALYSIS: None of this stacks up to reality. It
is irrelevant that the FBI had no operational control over the exercises.
They didn't need to be in control of the military portion of the exercise
to fulfill their real purpose--which was to get local law enforcement
used to being controlled and directed by federal authority during
US military intervention in civilian affairs (like gun confiscation
or roundups of political dissidents). The move to get the US military
ready for civilian interdiction missions with CONUS (Continental USA)
is proceeding with increasing speed. Even without direct Congressional
authorization, the Clinton Pentagon has now begun implementation of
a CONUS-based military command structure in direct violation of the
Posse Comitatus Act which prohibits the use of the US military in
civilian police actions. In addition, excuses about getting ready
for training "abroad" are ludicrous. There are virtually no cities
abroad that bear any similarity to American cities. The Marine spokespersons
are simply parroting what they are told to say. While the Marines
themselves may believe the propaganda line they are being told, Clinton
military leaders clearly know the truth--that they are tasking the
Marines to train for future actions against dissident Americans who
are or will be resistant to a global takeover during the next war.

BOEING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RUSSIA'S
TOP WEAPONS DEVELOPER
Previously, I had detailed the Clinton Administration's
betrayal of its prime SSST missile contractor, Allied Signal, in favor
of a contract for inferior missiles to the Russian lab, Zvezda-Strela.
Now, it comes to light that Boeing was a major player in not only
influencing the contract bid on SSST missile drones for and in behalf
of Zvezda, but bidding against its own ejection seat division (ACES
2) in the Joint Strike Fighter (JST) concept, so that Zvezda could
get the contract for the JSF fighter ejection seats. Boeing's ACES
2 ejection seat division is one of the three western competitors bidding
against Zvezda in sub-contracting for the JSF. If Boeing were to win
the JSF overall competition, then Boeing may have to close or cut
back its ACES 2 ejection seat division.
ANALYSIS: Why would Boeing cut its own division?
Boeing is, in fact, deep into a joint venture with Zvezda-Strella
in developing the JSF. Boeing's Moscow manager is none other than
Viktor Anoshkin, who has ties deep into the Russian military. The
real purpose is to make sure that Russia's weapons labs (Zvezda-Strella)
have a legal relationship with the prime JSF contractor so that they
can more easily steal military secrets related to this project. Even
worse, it gives Boeing an excuse to share sensitive information with
Zvezda since it is a partner. But there's more. Clinton supports are
making money all throughout this process. The two Wash DC lobby firms
involved in promoting Zvezda-Strella products are Cassidy Associates
and IBP International. Cassidy Associates has close ties to the Democratic
party and is a large contributor to both Clinton and Gore. Cassidy
executives were on one of the infamous Ron Brown-Commerce Dept. trips
to Indonesia, along with such notables as Chinese agents Charlie Trie
and Nora Lum. IBP International, a firm based in London and McClean,
Va., is headed by Judith De Paul who is a close friend of Al Gore.
Clearly, international corporation CEOs have learned that they either
play ball with the Powers That Be (PTB) or be destroyed, economically.
When they join the CFR and do what they are told, profits and power
come easy.

CLINTON'S EXEC ORDER TO ENFORCE
EXPERIMENTAL VACCINES ON THE MILITARY
EO13139, titled "Improving Health Protection of Military
Personnel Participating in Particular Military Operations," was issued
this past month just as Congress was investigating the dangers of
the mandatory Anthrax vaccine (which some soldiers are refusing to
take). The order directs the Pentagon to disregard the authority of
the FDA and compel the troops to accept experimental vaccines--those
not approved by the FDA and therefore illegal--without informed consent.
This directly counters a previous Army directive allowing for soldiers
to opt out for health reasons. Mark Zaid, an attorney representing
dozens of troops who refused to take the anthrax inoculation, says,
"There are big problems. Why, all of a sudden out of nowhere, especially
when the opposition to the program is getting so much steam and criticism
of the Department of Defense was running rampant, does Clinton sign
an executive order that assures DOD can implement any experimental
program it wants? This whole thing is DOD doing an end run-around
the FDA. The FDA should step up to plate and do its job."
ANALYSIS: He is naive if he thinks the FDA will
battle Clinton. It won't--as in the past when it let the DOD give
the experimental vaccine to Gulf War troops, without informed consent.
The FDA is very political and often works in collusion with certain
drug companies. There is a very nasty hidden agenda going on here.
For example, as reported in the Washington Times, the Gulf War vaccine
contained an added AIDS vaccine carrier component, which had disastrous
side affects of certain immune systems. Simply to please the AIDS
lobby, the Clinton Administration experimented upon millions of military
guinea pigs. The military is the easy choice, given the troop's drummed-in
perception that they cannot refuse an order to take the shots. This,
however, is not a lawful order, without informed consent.

AMERICA ON LINE (AOL) IS ANTI-GUN
AND PRO PORN
Many of my subscribers are using AOL. They should
be aware that this organization is targeting and canceling any website
with a pro-gun message. There is also a dangerous and close relationship
between AOL and the dark side of government, much like what has been
discovered lately between the NSA with Microsoft and Intel. Most privacy
experts suspect that the government has open access to all AOL email
files. Then there is the porn issue. AOL has a highly touted anti-pornography
policy, but it appears to be pure propaganda for public consumption.
The facts demonstrate that the AOL system of chat rooms contains several
sites that openly promote pornographic and pedofile material. Not
only has AOL refused to shut them down, they have welcomed new chat
rooms for the Gay and Lesbian community. As one privacy watcher put
it, "While pedophiles roam AOL chat rooms, the PC patrol is busy bouncing
perfectly law-abiding citizens out the door. Jim Supica, who runs
a licensed, family-owned business selling collectable firearms, saw
his AOL Web site removed without warning by company censors, who said
it violated community standards. This anti-gun stance may please left-leaning
subscribers (and the government), but how does this protect children
from online pedophiles?" Meanwhile, AOL has just announced a three-year
"premier alliance" with PlanetOut, a lesbian and gay online network,
which will receive prominent placement in AOL chat areas. Other overtly
homosexual oriented AOL chat rooms are titled: "Young and Restless,"
"Boystory" and "M4M," and have direct links to such sites as "GaySexBoys"
COMMENTARY: I would recommend that AOL users switch
to another ISP, not only to protest this hostility toward conservative
values, but for the sake of your own privacy.

COMMENTARY ON TAX PROTESTERS AND
GOVERNMENT ENTRAPMENT
After studying the literature of tax protesters for
several years, I have come to a conclusion that might interest my
readers. It is not sufficient to discover that there is, indeed, credible
evidence that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified. It is
not enough to assert that there are also a variety of legal irregularities
in the US tax code that clearly give the impression that tax participation
is either voluntary or applicable only to a narrow class of persons
who have lost their individual status through government connections.
We call them "irregularities" precisely because there are other statements
in the code which give contradictory readings--conveniently allowing
judges to rule either way (that's part of the trap). There has even
been at least one IRS agent that has become convinced of the truth
of these allegations, quit his job, and gone public with his findings.
So why don't we all join the movement to stop paying taxes? Because,
I believe, a trap is being set. The interesting observation I have
made is that even in the face of a few successful court challenges
to the tax code by tax protesters, the government and their cohorts
in Congress have made no attempt to close these loopholes and deny
the tax protesters their arguments--and this has been going on for
many, many years. Does the government have the votes in Congress to
close these small irregularities? They do. Then why don't they? Why
haven't such closures even been proposed? These loopholes just sit
there, year after year enticing more and more protesters to take the
bait and submit themselves to government judges, who almost always
toss them in jail--for long sentences, and no parole. However, occasionally,
a judge will allow a protester to win--which, like a freak gambling
victory in Las Vegas, only encourages others to try. But like the
slots, the courts are rigged against the player!. Tax protesters would
like to believe that these loopholes are preserved by the elite because
the elite need them to evade taxes too, but that isn't really true.
The elite mostly use standard accounting loopholes to lower their
taxes, just like other wealthy people. Occasionally they do practice
evasion, as the Clintons did through the Rose Law Firm, but only when
they are guaranteed immunity in a corrupt state like Arkansas. Mostly,
they simply pay some taxes and then rely on additional, secret compensation
under the table. Look at Hillary's $100,000 one day commodity trade,
or Bills special home loan approval for his $1.5 million home in New
York. The power elite take care of their own. So, don't go the route
of technical tax protest. The PTB are out there taking names and setting
traps.

COLUMBINE TAPES
The existence of video tapes showing Klebold and Harris
simulating the Columbine massacre inside the high school a year before
it happened was reported on a couple of Internet sites within a month
of the incident. Only now are media and government spinmasters trying
to deal with the implications of these tapes. Jefferson County Deputy
District Attorney Steve Jensen, was forced to admit the existence
of the tapes and said, "It's obvious that these guys wanted to become
cult heroes of some kind." Jensen said the police had not previously
revealed the existence of the tapes because they were made with the
intention of self promotion." Thus, he vowed "we will fight tooth
and nail to prevent dissemination of those materials." The videos
will only be used as evidence in court to try the youth who secured
the guns for the pair.
ANALYSIS: It is interesting to watch how the media
operates when forced to admit damaging evidence that points to government
collusion. They simply only report a benign portion of the truth.
This allows them to claim they are not trying to hide essential information.
But, they carefully omit the crucial information that points to use
of agent provocateurs. Here's the key bit of information they refuse
to talk about and the real reason for keeping the tapes under wraps.
The boy who planned and actually filmed the video was not Klebold
or Harris (who were the players in the video), but the son of the
same FBI psychologist in charge of the Columbine investigation. Now
we have a direct link between the FBI and the Columbine massacre a
year before it happened.

LOOK FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
TO REGAIN CONTROL OF CONGRESS IN 2000
While it is clear to me that the PTB (Powers That
Be) intend to see that George W. Bush and Elizabeth Dole are elected
the next president and vice president of the US, they will not allow
the Republicans to rule with an outright majority in Congress as well.
This strategy is aimed not so much to directly oppose the Republican
conservative legislative agenda (which is already sabotaged by top
Republican leaders) but rather, to give those same conspiring Republican
leaders the excuse for compromise as they are "forced" to make deals
with the Democratic majority.

BUSH CLAIMS TO SUPPORT THE NATIONAL
MISSILE DEFENSE (NMD) SYSTEM
``I can't tell you how important I think it is for
America to develop not only theater-based but strategic-based anti-ballistic
missile systems,'' Bush said in an interview in his home state. "The
world has changed since the (ABM) treaty was signed in the 70s,''
he said. "This is now a world of uncertainty ... As I say in my ads,
there are madmen and dictators and missiles.''
ANALYSIS: Conservatives should not rest easy when
Bush says this; he is only referring to "rogue tyrants" --not to Russia.
As one reporter commented, "Bush voiced confidence that the United
States could persuade Russia that cooperating on construction of anti-missile
defense was in Moscow's own best interest." Only a NWO insider would
know why that statement is partially true. It's in Russia's best interest
because Bush knows that the ABM system will not protect against the
coming Russian nuclear strike, and it will help pacify the American
conservatives. In fact, it sounds just like Clinton's argument he
made with Yeltsin, and well it should. Bush also knows that the US
has been secretly transferring essential missile and computer technology
to Russia for years. Bush is on the same NWO team as Clinton and only
intends to give the conservatives the rhetoric. but not any real action.
If we get an NMD system under the Republicans, it will be the same
expensive, but dumbed down EKV system Clinton's boys at Raytheon and
Boeing are promoting. There will only be 200 ABM interceptors deployed
anyway, so even at an optimistic 50% kill ratio. that equates to 100
kills out of an expected 3,000 incoming Russian missiles. Does that
sound like an effective national missile defense system? Does that
make you sleep better at night? If any of my subscribers have not
made preparations to survive the fallout from this future attack,
do not procrastinate further. I still think you have a few years to
prepare, but there are enough signs of active preparations coming
out of Russia right now, that I would not delay. My books, The Secure
Home (700 pages, $45) or How To Implement a High Security Shelter
in the Home (120 pps $25) are the definitive resources on this kind
of preparation. All of you should have a copy. Call Swift Publishing
1-800-292-2831. If you are too poor to afford it, give me a call and
I will try to make special arrangements with my publisher for a reduced

GEORGE W. BUSH--THE INSIDER ADVANTAGE
This is a major COMMENTARY on how the real world of
politics works. There is a very real difference between a normal candidate
for president, and one who has the nod of the Powers That Be (PTB).
Both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have all the signs of persons
that were pre-selected by the establishment to become President, and
who were launched into the public forefront without much personal
effort on their own--other than to play their appointed role. First,
both were pre-positioned for high political office by being elected
Governors of their respective states, with big campaigns aided by
the national committees of the Democratic and Republican parties,
plus generous funding from state business interests with establishment
ties. Both were instantly labeled as "front runners" by the media
in the first days of speculation of "who will run for President."
Front runner according to who? The media relied upon quotations from
trusted insiders, so that it would not appear to be "fixed." Both
men's campaigns were and are staffed with all the current "heavy weight"
and expensive political advisors with umpteen ties to the PTB in their
respective parties. These people all earn six figures and are conveniently
waiting in the wings of their "private" consulting firms, ready to
step up and play their role in either "team A" (the Republicans) or
"Team B" (the Democrats).
This is a key way of telling who is an insider.
Once well connected to the PTB, key advisors rotate between government
service and big-name consulting firms or law firms which have numerous
"sugar daddy" corporations on permanent retainers to keep them well
funded. More and more, we see an interlocking network of these same
international businesses and the dark side of government. The heads
of these corporations (usually CFR members) can be called upon at
a moment's notice to contribute money where needed. For example, just
to keep the current political campaigns from looking like a totally
rigged race, the PTB allow a little competition from the likes of
Bill Bradley and John McCain, and make sure that they get some of
the same friendly contributions--but not enough to make a serious
challenge. When we check various campaign contributions from these
insider-connected businesses, we note the same ones that contributed
to Al Gore are giving to Bradley and those that gave to Bush are also
giving to McCain. These anomalies are neither a reflection of corporate
bi-partisanship nor stupidity--but rather a response to hidden instructions
from the PTB.
True grass roots candidates like Pat Buchanan
and Alan Keyes never get any help from the establishment. They are
especially denied significant press coverage. As an aside, Alan Keyes
is playing a truly principled campaign, with its predictable poor
showing, but Pat Buchanan is selling alliances to virtually any front
who will offer support. Not only will it destroy his support among
principled conservatives, but it will never get him the support of
the "broad spectrum" he desperately wants to attract. This is what
happens when someone on the conservative side wants too much to be
elected. They stoop to populist rhetoric and working class hype rather
than consistent ideologies of liberty. Neither will work today, simply
because elections are controlled by powerful forces working in concert
together--coupled with a dumbed down populace all too willing to be
manipulated.
One of the major signs of an insider advantage
in a campaign is the effortless flow of funds into a candidate's coffers.
In both the Clinton campaign and the Bush campaign, the funds flowed
in without any direct linkage to overt campaign fundraising. In other
words, in a legitimate grass roots campaign, funds come in spurts
depending upon the numbers of mail order appeals that go out, or campaign
speeches and appearances. The Bush campaign records show no such correlation
to direct fund raising--millions came into his coffers "magically"
even before he started campaigning. These are insider contributions
from the wealthy people, single issue lobbies and internationalist
corporations. Most mail order campaigns lose money nowadays. They
are done to keep up the show of legitimacy.
The real insider connection is proved by the staffing.
The anointed future leaders not only have the services of the best
and brightest political manipulators of public opinion, but are provided
a the best domestic and foreign policy advisors the establishment
controls. This lineup of key personnel can tell us much about what
the Bush administration intentions will be like. Don't listen to what
Bush says, look at his staff. He won't be running the country any
more than Bill Clinton is. It's the system (to whom the up and coming
staff is beholding to) that really runs the country, and they provide
the army of smart operators behind the scenes. Let's take a look at
the staff George W. Bush has been provided with, and you'll see it
will be business as usual in the White house.
The overall leader for Bush's advisory staff is
Condoleezza Rice, a closet feminist and internationalist, who served
on the staff of the National Security Council during the former Bush
administration. Rice has been an up and coming insider for years.
During the Clinton years, she was carefully routed to a prestigious
career building post as Provost of Stanford University, where she
became an activist for various liberal and internationalist causes
within the elite coterie of the Bay Area. As a member and promoter
of the World Affairs Council, she is pro-globalist in outlook, pro-interventionist
in regional conflicts and even decries the constitutional restrictions
on the separations of power (she laments the fact that the president
has to deal with Congress on foreign policy). Rice has got a powerful
agenda of her own, and will demand a significant post in the Bush
administration--one that will allow her to rise to Secretary of State
at some future time. Rumors abound that she will get Sandy Burger's
job as Bush's National Security Advisor, where she can continue to
promote the Republican version of the NWO agenda.
Next is Richard Armitage, Bush's chief military
policy advisor. This is interesting since Armitage really doesn't
have a broad military background. In fact, Armitage has spent all
his days working inside the dark side of government for George Bush
senior both at CIA and as a Pentagon bureaucrat during the Reagan
and Bush Administrations. Investigative evidence on the years of CIA-drug
smuggling into the US point to Armitage as the prime mover in overseeing
drug operations from both the Iron Triangle in East Asia during Vietnam
era to the Iran-contra operations of Central America, Panama, and
Mena Arkansas. If these charges are true, this guy will play the role
of the "enforcer" within the administration. Anyone who is a deep
insider within the black side of the CIA is known to have CIA connections
for enforcement. Weaker politicians and generals on the periphery
of the PTB network will snap to attention when Armitage calls them
in the middle of the night to give key directives. Armitage is already
on the march. He reportedly wrote George Bush's Citadel speech casting
candidate Bush as a President poised to shake up the defense department.
The rhetoric appears on the surface to be pro-defense, and pro-America,
but it's really all smoke and mirrors. Weapons procurement will again
turn exotic to postpone any viable ABM system. Other Systems will
be reshuffled to spread more money around to favored defense contractors,
and the military will be further purged of nay-sayers to ensure lock-step
compliance with the NWO. Armitage reportedly circulated around the
Citadel conference, attended by military leaders, and let it be known
in casual conversation that he (through Bush) was going to change
the way generals are selected for promotion. When generals see this
kind of power play, the semi-principled ones retire (there are no
fully principled generals in the military today, as there is too much
compromise and political correctness required to gain high rank),
and the boot-licking yes-men fill in the gaps and climb the ladder.
Armitage, is a close ally of Gen. Colin Powell, who called Armitage
"his white son." Everyone in Washington knows that Colin Powell will
come out of retirement and take on a major role in the Bush administration.
Powell has a long history of globalist views. So when Armitage throws
his weight around, he is swaggering with the backing of both Powell
and Bush. Rumors are that Armitage wants the post of Deputy Defense
Secretary--the Pentagon's No. 2 post, which will give him the power
to control this "reform" movement. By the way, Armitage, predictably,
has his own Washington DC consulting firm, with a blue list of government
and corporate entities on his list of retained clients. Do you see
the pattern?
Also on Bush's team are some names meant to inspire
confidence in his "conservative agenda". Reaganites, Richard Perle,
Paul Wolfowitz and Dov Zakheim will provide Bush's conservative bona
fides. Although each of these former "hard-liners" are aboard, they
are all deeply connected to the same establishment corporations and
insider consulting firms. Paul Wolfowitz was most recently the Dean
of the leftist-liberal Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International
Studies of Johns Hopkins University. You don't get that kind of position
by being a conservative ideologue. Wolfowitz was Bush's Chief defense
policy chief during the gulf war, and while he claims to disagree
with Bush's decision to not take out Saddam Hussein, he made no public
protestations. He clearly had to be aware of the entire fraudulent
nature of the US-Russian alliance in the Gulf NWO War, including the
daily Russian resupply flights into Iraq, while claiming to be our
ally. When a person in this kind of high position doesn't make any
public protestations, I can only assume he is compromised.
Dov Zakeim has the typical insider connections
with his consulting firm SPC International, Inc. Zakheim is a frequent
radio, television, and press commentary on national security issues.
You don't get on network television regularly unless you are capable
of giving a carefully edited version of the world events. Predictably
he holds a Ph.D. in politics and economics from St. Antony's College,
and Oxford University. You don't get credentialed from these Universities
by defending strong conservative ideals. However, I must admit that
most of their public speeches defend US interests. How much of a role
they are playing versus how much are sincere feelings, I cannot judge.
The ability of the establishment to place "role players" within both
sides of the political spectrum is pervasive. While their gut feelings
may be right, these three clearly have a track history of being able
to "play within the system"--otherwise they would not be allowed these
positions within the PTB. To make sure they stay in line, they are
under the policy control of Condoleezza Rice.
Lastly, there is Richard (pro-China) Cheney (former
Sec of Defense under Bush) and former Secretary of State and consummate
globalist George Shultz. Shultz and Richard Perle have been making
the rounds in the talk shows and news hours vouching for candidate
Bush's savvy in international affairs. This is pure fraud, and demonstrates
both men's slavishness to the PTB. I have several contacts who have
had business dealings over the years with George W. in Texas. They
report that he is a lightweight in all aspects--never well dressed,
slightly disheveled, an eye for the ladies, and never spoke of deep
substantive issues--ever. What we are observing now is a media make
over for a new golden boy for US President, which does not bode well
for liberty.

THE SEATTLE WORLD TRADE RIOTS:
COMMENTARY: Former 1960's anti-war protester Paul
Schell is now Mayor of riot-torn Seattle. It may be ironic, but Mayor
Schell is getting a taste of his own leftist medicine--30 years later.
While the media makes it appear as if these are somewhat spontaneous
violent protests as too many demonstrators mix it up with a police
force caught "unprepared," Mayor Schell should know better. As in
the anti-war demonstrations of the 60's the violence in these protests
were not spontaneous accidents. The demonstrations in the 60's were
proceeded by long planning sessions involving radical leftists working
late into the night developing tactics to foment violence. The main
strategy was to have a small cadre start the violence inducing the
police to overreact and attack not only the initiators of violence
but the larger groups of peaceful protesters, as well. The perceived
injustice upon the innocent protesters would radicalize members of
this group and galvanize them into an angry defensive reaction. But
this is not what happened in Seattle. There is evidence that the federal
government itself engendered the violence by gassing the demonstrators
before any violence occurred. Federal agents in plain clothes were
observed to be posing as leaders in the ranks of the demonstrators,
urging and screaming for more violent action against police. These
same agents were observed later arresting demonstrators.
Here in Seattle, there were several distinct groups
at work. There was a small hard-core group of violent demonstrators
all wearing black ski masks. The uniformity of clothing was evidence
of a planned attack. These were the ones responsible for the short
run of violence and property damage. The strange thing is that live
camera coverage by the local media showed that the police refused
to interfere with these criminals, even when asked to do so by journalists
at the scene. This adds fuel to the fire of suspicion that there may
have been government collusion going on. If they were not agent provocateurs
under direct federal orders, the Feds at least allowed them to operate
without interference. One or two witnesses said that some of these
people were the same who engineered and carried out the Eugene, Oregon
riots last year during one of the UN economic summits meetings held
in that liberal college town. The rest of the demonstrators in Seattle
(the majority) were a combination of labor-union people and sincere,
tree-hugging, liberal environmentalists recruited by dozens of environmentalist
organizations to achieve a "peaceful" disruption of the World Trade
Organization (WTO). While most environmentalists are back-to-the land
types or urban yuppies, a fair number of the top leaders are closet
Marxists with an anti-property rights agenda. The traditional Marxist
has always perceived the WTO and other world economic control organizations
as fronts for evil capitalists trying to control international markets
and protect their capital base of industries. These major industries,
in turn, are responsible (in the environmentalist view) for global
warming and ozone layer depletion. It is over these issues, with a
smattering of rich vs. poor class conflict, that the radical environmentalists
are induced to join in the fray.
You might find this strange relative to the general
support environmentalists enjoy from the UN and other international
bodies. However, some of the top Marxist-environmentalist leaders
may suspect that the globalist leaders are only using them, and have
no intention of allowing them to have any real power within the NWO
structure. These suspicions are correct, in my opinion. This strategy
of playing up to the Left has also been at work as the globalists
foment liberation movements and build up Communist puppet regimes
worldwide. Most Communist leaders fail to realize that the favored
position they enjoy is only temporary. They will later be defeated
and discarded after their usefulness is over. In the HEGELIAN format,
the globalists need the Communists, for the present, to cultivate
third world masses into socialist movements and to act as the catalyst
for the next war. But they don't want them running the world in the
aftermath.
Here in Seattle there are one or more conspiracies
at work. I say that because large scale protests and demonstrations
never occur spontaneously--only as they are organized, recruited,
and well-publicized by the media. There are two possibilities to discuss.
The first is that this is a straightforward radical leftist rebellion
against the NWO powers which are taking over "their" revolution. The
radical left, like American constitutionalists, is finally realizing
that the Powers That Be (PTB) are big enough now and strong enough
to simply thumb their nose at minority antagonists on both sides of
the political spectrum. While the American right is loath to rebel
openly, the radical left has no such inhibitions.
The other underlying conspiracy may have to do
with getting the US accustomed to various forms of martial law. Here's
my reasoning. All seditious groups, on the left and right are heavily
infiltrated with government informants. This leftist/anarchist group
in the northwest is well known to the Feds. In fact the organizers
let it be known months in advance that they planned on disrupting
the WTO meetings. They could have been arrested and shut down earlier
if the Feds had wanted to. Why weren't they? Perhaps the Feds wanted
to induce some minor "state of emergency" in a metro area. This would
relay the impression that the world is coming unraveled and that increased
government intervention is necessary to restore order. A secret memo
from the FBI to Seattle officials warning them to expect a high level
of violence is indicative of Federal foreknowledge. The heavy stockpiles
of military tear gas (not normally available to cities) also shows
that Seattle's claim about being caught "unprepared" was phony. This
was a Federally controlled operation from the beginning, I believe.
However, if this was their strategy it was only
partially successful. Certainly manipulation of public opinion by
the media worked perfectly. Live coverage was edited and rearranged
for the 5:00 news so that it appeared as if violence triggered the
tear gas attacks. Actually, the gassing came first. The current perception
in Seattle is decidedly negative against the Mayor's state of emergency,
the curfew, and the way in which the police over-reacted. For example,
while the police were under political orders to keep the WTO guests
and their fancy hotels free from protester inconvenience, a few agent
provocateurs were rampaging through the downtown sector breaking windows
and damaging cars. One reporter was seen on TV pointing out the violence
to the police, who refused to do anything about it. They had orders
to stay put. That was telling.
When they finally did respond, most of the vandals
have vanished. Several eye witnesses also pointed out that the massive
gas attacks were carried out by a wholly different group of police
than those that had been present in earlier days of the demonstrations.
They went after the demonstrators with a vengeance. There were over
a 1,000 injuries, some very serious as people were hit at point blank
range with plastic bullets and tear gas projectiles. Several demonstrators
were also treated for symptoms resembling a form of nerve gas, according
to one doctor on the scene. The police claimed to have warned the
demonstrators to disperse, but the press failed to mention that the
police also had blocked all exit routes, so the demonstrators could
not have complied even if they had wanted to. In addition, there is
no way to back up a mob of 50,000 people. The people at the front,
including women, children and grandmothers were trapped. The melee
quickly deteriorated to the point where almost every demonstrator
was affected by the smarting gas attack, instantly radicalizing them
all. Those demonstrators who were arrested are a mix of angry protesters
and innocent bystanders--none of which were afforded any civil rights
(which are lost under a "state of emergency"). Now the entire group
has the label of "political prisoners", which is accurate. This is
a textbook case of police incitement. Mayor Schell's ongoing state
of emergency is giving these excessive powers a well deserved black
eye. The Clinton administration's core support from the Left has also
been seriously eroded.

COMMENTARY ON THE SEATTLE "STATE OF EMERGENCY"
The Washington Times reported that Seattle officials
were warned by the FBI more than two weeks before the World Trade
Organisation conference that violent or destructive criminal activity
by protesters and anarchists was a 'distinct possibility'. This calls
into question statements by Seattle Mayor Paul Schell and police officials
who repeatedly said they were surprised by the extent and nature of
the violent protests that disrupted the WTO meeting last week.
ANALYSIS: In the first place, it wasn't a violent
protest until the police attacked in force and without real provocation
(the protestors were too numerous to back-up or disperse, and the
routes were blocked by police barricades). Second, it wasn't a surprise.
The stockpiling and preparations of the police indicated that they
not only had prepared in advance but had planned to use their broad
range of weapons.
As to long term effects, this is what is critical:
There is a grave danger in a government declaration of "state of emergency"
which most Americans do not understand. Most people think that elected
officials need to declare an "emergency" when there is an emergency.
What could be more natural! But the state of emergency has little
to do with handling the emergency. A State of Emergency is really
a euphemism for "Martial Law" It doesn't take martial law to arrest
hundreds of people. It doesn't take a state of emergency to martial
thousands of policemen and give them orders. What a State of Emergency
(Martial Law) does do is suspend civil liberties and legal rights
of the citizens who may be harmed, injured, killed or illegally detained
by the police action. The protesters who were attacked by police in
Seattle are just now discovering that their legal course of action
to sue the city is all but evaporating. They are being told--Seattle
was under martial law when your injury occurred--you have no recourse
for damages. Remember too, that under emergency powers, you can be
arrested and held indefinitely without any rights to call an attorney
or even let someone know you are alive. The whole purpose of the American
and British legal principle of habeas corpus is to establish the right
for anyone outside the prison to "call forth the body" --meaning present
the prisoner before a judge to show cause why he or she should be
held, and under what legal basis. All that is gone under a state of
Emergency. That is why Seattle declared such an emergency--so it could
have free rein to attack without liability. But, the media pundits
carefully avoided telling their listeners that a Mayor doesn't have
that kind of power. Suspension of civil rights can only be called
by a State governor or the president of the US--that doesn't make
me sleep any better, but you should be aware that public ignorance
of the law is allowing the Powers That Be (PTB) to broaden their reach
without bothering to change the law--and no one is challenging them.

KINKO'S ADMITS THAT XEROX COLOR
COPIERS HAVE EMBEDDED TRACKING CODES
A Kinko's manager inadvertently admitted to JJ Johnson
in a dispute over a request to make a color copy of his drivers license
that all new Xerox color copiers have been designed to alter the copy
image with a coded algorithm that government agencies can trace. As
he told Johnson this, the line waiting to get color copies suddenly
melted away (smart people). The manager implied that Xerox was pressured
to accept these electronic tracking modifications. I would surmise
that the government threatened Xerox with a loss of all government
copier contracts if they did not sign onto this gross violation of
privacy. He also said other major copier brands will be pressured
to do the same. So anytime you get color copies at Kinkos (or anyplace
using Xerox color copiers), the government can trace your copies back
to where the copies were made.

US DEFENSE INFRASTRUCTURE FAST
DISAPPEARING
Over the past seven years, an ominous trend has surfaced
in the defense industry. One by one, small, diversified American defense/aerospace
subcontractors are being eliminated or bought out by a handful of
mega-contractors. At the beginning of the Clinton administration there
were 21 major defense contractors and over 5,000 American sub-contractors.
Now there are only 5 major contractors (Boeing, Raytheon, Litton Industries,
Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman) and less than 1,000 American
sub-contractors.
ANALYSIS: This is not simply merger-mania, or
free market downsizing. I believe there has been a concerted effort
by the Clinton administration to not only disarm America, but to make
sure that the infrastructure no longer exists for America to rise
again. First in 1993, the Clinton Pentagon sold Congress on the idea
that if the Pentagon promotes mergers (and helps pay for them) the
"new and improved" defense contractors will pass the savings on to
the public in lower bids and prices. Hogwash! The Pentagon has put
out over $800 million so far in direct payments to companies like
Boeing to help them buy out, pay off and terminate contracts to small
American sub-contractors. The current crop of merged defense contractors
now receiving government allowances have cut 18,000 jobs. Still, there
is absolutely no credible evidence to show that any cost savings have
gone to the taxpayers. In any case, it would be virtually impossible
to account for any such savings. All of the big accounting firms doing
such work have covered up for the government for years. Defense contracting
is so full of inflated or hidden budgetary items, there would be no
way to tell if any supposed price reduction is not be secretly reimbursed
by black budget payments under the table. That's why certain contractors
were allowed to charge the government $300 for hammers and other parts--not
greedy contracting, but collusion with government to hide funding
for "black" projects.
Now that Boeing and others have bought out or
eliminated so many American subcontractors they can claim that they
can't get the work done in America and must search for overseas subcontractors.
Boeing, for example, has been funneling its millions in government
contracts to Zvezda-Strella and other Russia defense labs for subcontracting
work. Not only is this dangerous in light of Russia's hostile intentions,
but bogus as well. Boeing ends up having to help the Russian labs
fulfill these contracts by sending over the technology necessary to
remedy the Russian defects. Not only does this amount to a monetary
subsidy of our enemies, but it represents a major new way to bypass
export controls of sensitive military secrets. In the case of China,
which doesn't have the advanced research labs (yet), American defense
contractors are busy supplying them with computers and technology
so that in the future they can successfully hire the Chinese to do
what would normally be done by Americans. IBM for example donated
to China's top research university, 4 supercomputers in 1997. Why
does China qualify for charity, given the huge surplus in trade dollars
that she possesses? Obviously, there is more going on here than corporate
benevolence. Lastly, this entire process of merging and out-sourcing
to foreign sources undermines the concept of multiple paths of production
within the home country--an essential principle of national defense.

WIRETAPS INCREASE, BUT ITS JUST
THE TIP OF THE HIDDEN ICEBERG:
According to a Justice Department annual report State
and federal judges authorized 1,329 wiretaps in 1998, an 12% increase
over 1997. The justice department claims that this increase was caused
by an expansion in wiretaps sought for state and local drug investigations
and that about three-quarters of all wiretaps were requested in drug
cases. The most intensive listening for drug related cases were New
York City, New Jersey and other major metro areas in Pennsylvania,
California, Florida and Maryland. Taps on wireless communication,
made easier by advances in technology, increased, according to the
report, from 206 in 1997 to 576. About half were placed on cell phones
and half on pagers. Email is also now being tapped. Justice claims
that only five email taps were installed
ANALYSIS: While all of these claims are more or
less true for taps done through the open judicial system, this report
is pure propaganda in terms of overall electronic eavesdropping. The
US government, using the ECHELON system of computerized electronic
surveillance constantly monitors ALL communications that travels via
international cable, radio (including cellular), satellite and microwave
tower transmissions. This equates to billions of taps yearly--so many
that it even exceeds the government's ability to process all the information--the
only silver lining in this whole sordid tale. These annual reports
only serve the purpose of making the public think wire taps are still
done through judicial permission. In fact, government has been secretly
installing new hardware for automatic surveillance of telephone and
Internet hardwire systems within all major telephone exchanges. Phone
companies have been playing along with the secret demands of government
since 1941. The war years have a way of causing everyone to stop challenging
government illegal actions. When agents flash their "national security"
credentials, telecom executives dutifully comply. When they tell them
it is "top secret" they dutifully shut their mouths and fail to protest
in the courts. Even their own stockholders are excluded from the consent
process.

NSA REFUSES TO COOPERATE WITH
CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT ON ECHELON SPYING
According to the chairman of the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Goss, the National Security Agency
(NSA), is refusing to cooperate in Congressional oversight responsibility
over the NSA's ECHELON global spy system. In another incredible legal
maneuver by the dark side of government the General Counsel of the
NSA is claiming an attorney-client privilege between his office and
the director of the NSA, which, he claims, extends to the entire agency.
According to Chairman Goss, the NSA is refusing "with disturbing frequency"
to turn over documents that would reveal the NSA's criteria for conducting
domestic surveillance, which as I stated above, far exceeds what is
either revealed or legal. Rep. Goss warns that the privilege claim
creates an "envelopment of the executive in a cloak of secrecy that
would insulate the executive branch from effective oversight."
ANALYSIS: This is a clear attempt by the government
to keep its illegal surveillance of US and foreign nationals a secret
from both the public and Congress. This is similar in scope to how
the Pentagon and CIA moved the bulk of its budget from open Congressional
scrutiny to the black arena, by hiding secret expenditures within
purchase of outrageously priced parts, or (in the case of the CIA)
by operating its own Mafia-like proprietary companies through civilians
who secretly take orders from the government. The NSA (who is the
recipient of much of the CIA's black budget money) wants to maintain
a two tier surveillance world--minor wiretaps for public scrutiny
that go through the courts and the more sinister, broad-based surveillance
of private citizens via the top secret ECHELON electronic eavesdropping
system. The National Security Act of 1947 gives exclusive oversight
powers to Congress over secret intelligent matters, requiring that
all spy agencies must turn over "any information or material concerning
intelligence activities that is requested by either of the (House
or Senate) intelligence committees to carry out its authorization".
While Rep Goss is to be applauded for trying to get Congress to protest
this novel attorney-client claim, such a dispute would have to be
adjudicated by the courts, which have shown repeatedly that they will
side with the dark side of government. Don't expect a widening view
of this high tech snooping world to come from Congress. If anything,
new revelations will come via a few patriotic government insiders
who will leak things to the Web.Table of Contents
