Matamoros.
Reputed drug cartel boss arrested in Matamoros By JO TUCKMAN Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle Foreign Service This is an undated handout photo of suspected drug lord Osiel Cardenas. MEXICO CITY -- The Mexican military on Friday captured the alleged head of the Gulf Cartel, a powerful, Matamoros-based drug trafficking organization that smuggles large amounts of cocaine and marijuana into Texas. Osiel Cardenas, 35, was detained after a midmorning shootout in a suburb of Matamoros, across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Mexican Defense Secretary Gerardo Vega Garcia said in a statement. Cardenas, who earned the nickname Mata Amigos, or "Buddy Killer," for his ruthlessness in underworld power struggles, was flown to Mexico City and handed over to civilian authorities, the defense secretary said. Three soldiers were wounded when Cardenas' bodyguards fiercely resisted the arrest, Vega said. The number of casualties among Cardenas' men wasn't immediately known. Cardenas' arrest is by far the highest-profile success in Mexico's often sputtering war on drugs since the capture a year ago of Benjamin Arellano Felix, one of the brothers who directed the so-called Tijuana Cartel, and the killing a month earlier of his brother, Ramon. The U.S. government repeatedly lauded the demise of the Arellano Felix brothers as proof that President Vicente Fox is serious in his commitment to combat narcotics trafficking in Mexico. The Gulf Cartel, which holds sway along the Gulf of Mexico and into the Yucatan Peninsula, has been eclipsed in recent years by the Tijuana gang and another based in Ciudad Juarez. But the Matamoros-based organization still controls the transportation of South American cocaine up Mexico's northeast coast, authorities said, and also smuggles Mexican-grown marijuana into the United States. Cardenas, a former mechanic's assistant who once worked for federal law enforcement agencies, faces Mexican charges of murder, drug trafficking and illegally possessing firearms. Cardenas also was wanted in the United States on charges of drug smuggling, money laundering and assaulting federal agents. The latter charge dates from an incident in 1999 when Cardenas allegedly threatened to kill several U.S. drug enforcement agents who had been cornered on a Matamoros street by cartel members. "This is my territory," Cardenas reportedly told the agents in demanding they turn over an informant. "You can't control it, so get the hell out of here." The threat prompted the FBI to offer a $2 million reward for Cardenas' capture. The reward was later rescinded. Cardenas' leadership of the gang dates to the mid-1990s after the capture of Juan Garcia Abrego, who had built the organization into one of the country's strongest. Garcia Abrego was extradited to the United States in 1996 and sentenced in federal court in Houston to 11 life terms for drug smuggling. Finding Cardenas took six months of intensive intelligence work made more difficult by a network of corrupt Mexican officials who were protecting him, Vega said. To avoid having Cardenas tipped off by corrupt officials, the authorities kept their plans secret from federal and state law enforcement agencies and used soldiers to arrest him. Several dozen officials accused of protecting Cardenas' criminal activities already have been detained, Mexican Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha told reporters Friday. "There is a vast number of people involved in giving protection to Osiel Cardenas and all his organization," said Macedo de la Concha, who is also an army general. The militarization of Mexico's drug war has been criticized by human rights groups that fear it will lead to abuse. But the attorney general insisted the military was acting in coordination with civilian agencies and abiding by the law. "The work of the institutions today is a coordinated, cohesive one," the attorney general said. Even as officials celebrated Cardenas' arrest, no one was suggesting that it would have a major impact on the amount of South American cocaine or locally produced heroin and marijuana that pours through this country on its way to U.S. users. A year after the dramatic killing and capture of two of the three Arellano Felix brothers, their gang has restructured and continues to operate. In Juarez, the group dominated by Amado Carrillo Fuentes until he died during plastic surgery in 1997 remains quite active. "Without doubt, the cartels have varied their methods of operation, they have fragmented," Macedo de la Concha said. "Obviously, that makes the detention of those who head them and run them more difficult." As authorities' pursuit of Cardenas in recent months weakened his hold on the Gulf Cartel, the border has been mired in violent battles between competing drug gangs, with dozens killed in Nuevo Laredo and other cities. And the cheer over Cardenas' capture was balanced with reversals elsewhere. Two federal police helicopters were shot down by suspect

To reclaim self management over our forests and our lives we still have to fight on all fronts.I don't mean to sound insensitive but this is an important story in a world with over 6 billion of us and pressures increasing on land everywhere. PARIS--A Swedish ecologist is proposing the ultimate in environmentally-friendly funerals: having your body freeze-dried and then shattered into dust to help fertilize the soil. Susanne Wiigh-Masak, an environmental consultant, has tested her technique on dead pigs and cats, which were lowered in a bath of liquid nitrogen for instant freezing, the British weekly New Scientist reports in next Saturday's issue. During their immersion, the cadavers were bombarded with ultrasound waves to crack open the tissues to let the nitrogen work right to the core. The frozen bodies shattered into a powder with the tap of a hammer. "What you are left with is a hygienic, odorless powder that is less than one percent water," Wiigh-Masak says. Her plan is to use the same technique on human bodies. According to her calculation, a human corpse would be reduced to freeze-dried powder about a quarter of the original weight. It would then be placed in a biodegradable coffin and buried in a shallow grave, where it would quickly provide nutrition for the soil. The freeze-dried funeral has distinct environmental advantages over traditional departures, argues Wiigh-Masak. Cremation uses up fossil fuels, thus contributing to global warming, and often releases chemicals into the atmosphere, such as mercury vapor from dental fillings. Burials, too, can be a pollution risk, as many bodies are embalmed in formaldehyde, which can leak into groundwater. A corpse buried in a coffin can take up to 60 years to decompose, whereas the freeze-dried way returns all organic compounds to the soil within six months, Wiigh-Masak says proudly. Wiigh-Masak hopes that the laws will be relaxed to allow freeze-drying. The Church of Sweden, a branch of Protestantism, has already given its blessing. "My method is very close to their reading of the Bible," she says.

The neo-con line is that anyone who questions Clean Break is an ``anti-Semite.'' But most of Perle's defenders are on the same neo-con foundations' payroll. Among the freakouts: March 13: in the Moonie Washington Times, columnist Tony Blankley lunges after NBC's Tim Russert for asking Perle about Clean Break and the Israeli stake in Iraq war during a Feb. 23 interview. ``If such a respectable citadel of the establishment as Russert's Meet the Press can air such a question, we could expect worse'' But Blankley is not an objective observer; he was Newt Gingrich's chief of staff, when Gingrich was being courted by IASPS, the think tank that wrote the Clean Break. On March 12, the Moonie Times trotted out Shoshona Bryen, a director of the Likud-linked JINSA group, that infiltrates military networks, to screech about Rep. Jim Moran's (D-VA) attack on American Jewish support for the Iraq war. Also March 13: the ``liberal'' Washington Post, partially owned by Sharon intimate Lally Weymouth (daughter of the late Katy Graham), has a long character assassination of Moran, for having called on ``leaders of the Jewish community [to]...change the direction'' of the Iraq war policy that they are supporting. Quoting all neo-con outets: the National Review, the New Republic, and the Weekly Standard, Kurtz also freaks out about Patrick Buchanan, who just launched a magazine called American Conservative and wrote about Clean Break. But, it is doubtful that the freakouts will stop the exposes of the neo-cons -- every day, more ``citadels of the establishment,'' including the London Financial Times, and ABC's Nightline, are questioning the roots of Bush's insane policy. [source: House Appropriations Committee hearing, March 13] POWELL COMPELLED TO DENY THAT PRO-ISRAEL `CABAL' IS INFLUENCING ADMINISTRATION POLICY. Secretary of State Colin Powell was invited to depart from normal procedure at an appropriations hearing today, to respond to allegations about Israeli influence on U.S. policy toward Iraq. Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Az), raised the issue in his opening statement, citing Robert Novak's column, the Washington Post "Blaming the Jews" editorial, etc. He asked Powell to respond, even before any other opening statements were made, or before Powell delivered his prepared testimony. "U.S. policy with respect to Iraq is not just something that has been developed in the last month or so; one can go back many years to the end of the Gulf War," Powell responded, outlining one version of the history of the past 12 years of Iraq policy (but without mentioning that Wolfowitz, Libby et al. elaborated their policy of preventive war about 12 years ago). Powell said that "we have a comprehensive policy for the region, and strategy with respect to Iraq has derived from our interest in the region and our support of the U.N. resolutions over time." "It is not driven by any small cabal that is buried away somewhere, that is telling President Bush or me or Vice President Cheney or Condi Rice or other members of our administration what our policies should be" "So this is not just the result of a few individuals who are running loose, as some suggest, but it's a comprehensive policy developed over the years, over several administrations" http://dc.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=55548&group=webcast dc.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=5...

Chicago Trib drops Muwakkil's column for "a different voice" Chicago Reader Chicago Tribune editorial-page editor Bruce Dold says he deleted this passage from Salim Muwakkil's Feb. 10 column: "Adolf Hitler justified the Nazi invasion and occupation of parts of Europe as a benign move to protect them from Britain's imperial tyranny. The Nazis called it Lebensraum. We call it 'pre-emptive self-defense.'" Dold tells Michael Miner: "The column misapplied the term [lebensraum, which means "living space"], and in attempting to link U.S. policy to Hitler's invasion, had an exceedingly narrow explanation of Hitler's justification for the invasion."

Put Up or Shut Up, Richard Perle I double-dare him to sue Seymour Hersh. By Jack Shafer Posted Thursday, March 13, 2003, at 3:38 PM PT "I'm gonna punch you in the nose" is a serious threat. "I'm gonna punch you in the nose tomorrow or the day after" carries much less urgency. But the stipulative warning "I'm gonna punch you in the nose next week in England, where I'm looking to hire a professional nose-puncher to inflict the punishment" is the sort of statement only a grandstanding pantywaist would make. A grandstanding pantywaist like Richard N. Perle. Perle threatened yesterday to sue investigative reporter Seymour M. Hersh for libelspecifically, for things Hersh wrote about him in this week's New Yorker. The article examines the potential conflict of interest posed by Perle's dual roles as official Bush adviser (in the form of non-paid chair of the Defense Policy Board) and as managing partner at Trireme Partners, a venture capital firm. Trireme appears to invest in businesses that deal in enterprises "that are of value to homeland security and defense," according to Hersh's piece. As a special government employee, Perle is subject to a federal Code of Conduct, Hersh writes, and "[t]hose rules bar a special employee from participating in an official capacity in any matter in which he has a financial interest." The article doesn't accuse Perle of breaking any laws, but it explores the unseemly nature of advocating a war on Iraq while engaged in a business that could financially benefit from such a war. Ordinarily newspapers don't consider it news that someone might have "plans" to file a lawsuit. Especially if they plan to file later. In England. All of which explains why no U.S. daily published his threat except the neoconservative New York Sun. Its story, "Perle Suing Over New Yorker Article," in yesterday's edition, reads like a press release for Perle, who, the article notes, is a director of Hollinger International, which, the article notes, invests in the Sun. In mounting Perle's prosecution, the Sun article calls upon Perle protégé Laurent Murawiec, a former follower of Lyndon LaRouche. Murawiec, who made news last year when he gave a PowerPoint presentation before the Defense Policy Board that called for the invasion of Saudi Arabia and the seizure of its oil fields, said to the Sun, "Richard has been in public life for over 30 years and his ethics have never been challenged by anybody." Not surprisingly, no Perle critic or Hersh partisan comments in the piece. (Addendum, March 14, 2003: The New York Sun's Ira Stoll, who used to bird-dog the New York Times with his SmarterTimes Web site, writes to complain that the Sun did talk to somebody on Hersh's sideNew Yorker editor David Remnick. That's true, but Remnick is a likely defendant in the case if Perle is nuts enough to file it, not an outside observer. Had the Sun been interested in pursuing the sort of "balance" Stoll used to urge upon the Times, it would have talked to Hersh partisans after letting two Perle cronies prattle on about how wonderful and unassailable their buddy is. When the Sun publishes its follow-up about Perle v. Hersh, I'm available to comment about Hersh's bona fides.) What part of The New Yorker story is untrue, the Sun asked Perle? "It's all lies, from beginning to end," Perle responded, not exactly furthering his brief. Perle knows his way around lies, having described Hersh to CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Sunday as "the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist because he sets out to do damage and he will do it by whatever innuendo, whatever distortion he canlook, he hasn't written a serious piece since My Lai." Yes, yes; since his My Lai story, Hersh has only dealt with such lighthearted subjects as KAL 007, the Israeli bomb, and Henry Kissinger. While we're on the subject of serious, it bears examining why Perle would take his libel lawsuit to England. Is it because Perle is English? No. Because Hersh is? No. Because The New Yorker is published there? No. He's venue-shopping in England because it's easier to win a libel case there than it is here, which he explains in the Sun. As a public figure and government official, Perle would be laughed out of court in the United States. If he got a settlement in the U.K., he could raid the substantial British assets of the The New Yorker's parent company, Condé Nast. British libel law, of course, is completely un-American! "While both American and British law preclude liability if the statement is true, American law places the burden of proof on the plaintiff to show the statement is false," write media lawyers Laura R. Handman and Robert D. Balin of Davis Wright Tremaine. "By contrast, British law imposes the burden on defendant to prove truth or 'justification' and permits aggravated damages if defendant tries but fails." Maybe Hersh should be grateful Perle isn't filing where Sharia is observed.
Bush wants to bury young conscripts alive with Israeli style bulldozer tanks.
On Saturday evening March 1, Daniel Ellsberg was noodling around the Web and happened across a story from the British newspaper The Observer that caught his eye under the tantalizing headline, "Revealed: US Dirty Tricks to Win Vote on Iraq War." The paper's Martin Bright, Ed Vulliamy and Peter Beaumont had obtained a copy of a memo from a National Security Agency (NSA) official outlining U.S. plans to spy on certain United Nations Security Council members to get some insight into their thinking on Iraq and the coming Security Council vote. Interesting, Ellsberg thought. "So I rushed out the next morning at 5 o'clock to get [The New York Times] to see how they were covering it," he told me. Naturally, he was disappointed. And remains so, because, as I write, the Times has yet to mention the story, which has received only scant coverage elsewhere in the American press. Meanwhile, it's received far more coverage around the globe. And at the end of last week, the story took an ominous new turn. A British employee of the Government Communications Headquarters (Britain's NSA), a 28-year-old woman, was arrested on suspicion of leaking the memo. The Observer reports now that Tony Blair's government -- with his political future conceivably hanging on what happens at the United Nations in the coming days -- has commenced a search for more leakers and is seeking more arrests. Hence Ellsberg's interest. "A Pentagon Papers case, essentially, is happening right now in Britain," he says, "around a memo whose revelation could dramatically affect the Security Council's vote. And by and large, Americans don't even know about it." Critics have said, Big deal; finding out that spying is going on at the United Nations is like finding out that there's gambling at Rick's. And to be sure, there is a long history of bugging and surveillance among the world body's members, a history The Observer itself detailed in a related follow-up story. Fine. But two points. First, can anyone say with a straight face that this memo isn't an interesting thing? Political strategy has been "going on" for a long time, too, but when a memo outlining one is unearthed -- such as Karl Rove's famous PowerPoint presentation of last year -- it's news. Second, there's reason to believe that the American media's indifference to The Observer story reposes less in the fact that this is a dog-bites-man yawner than in the very reasonable suspicion -- or fear -- among our nation's editors that running this story would set off a firestorm here and would require, in this climate, more spine than most American news outlets are displaying these days. Right-wing media outlets sure saw the potential for trouble, because after the story broke in England, The Washington Times and the Drudge Report sought immediately to discredit it and prevent it from piquing curiosity here. They cited misspellings that supposedly proved the inauthenticity of the memo, which The Observer posted on its Web site. But it turned out the paper had merely anglicized certain spellings. It re-Americanized them, and those charges melted away. The memo's authenticity has now been verified, Vulliamy says, by everyone from intelligence experts to the journalist and NSA specialist James Bamford. Nevertheless, The Washington Times and Matt Drudge accomplished their mission: Either Martin or Vulliamy had been booked for appearances on NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN, all of which were cancelled. Once the "it's fake" line of attack was shot down, the gambling-at-Rick's analogy took hold, and it's held firm since. As I say, the argument that such activity is not, strictly speaking, new has merit. But is that really why the American press has shrugged? (Baltimore's Sun, which has given the story continuing coverage, is a notable exception). Ellsberg posed to me this hypothetical: Suppose The Observer had unearthed a memo showing that Germany or, God forbid, France, had been spying on poor little Cameroon (and four other delegations). Think the Drudge Report might have spun that story a little differently? Would The Washington Times have exercised its sober journalistic skepticism and questioned the authenticity of that memo? How many days in a row would that story have commanded "the wood" (the front page, in tabloid-speak) of The New York Post? The cable shows would have been able to speak of nothing else for a week. And -- this, finally, is the point -- a pro-war vote from the Security Council would have been a done deal. Just a guess, but I'm betting that The New York Times would have covered that. The Times often gets singled out in these narratives, and in some ways unfairly: It's still the best thing we've got. But it gets singled out because of its unique position of power in American journalism (and maybe in part because of that little motto up there in the upper-left-hand corner of the front page). People have higher expectations of it

"Not acting to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction is neither politically nor morally acceptable," Aznar told a meeting of members of his Popular Party. He reiterated charges that Iraq has failed to disarm since the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Aznar compared those who oppose military action to those who sat back and watched while Hitler invaded neighbouring countries or Yugoslav leaders carried out ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. "The Balkans appeared on TV but there are human rights abuses in Iraq," Aznar said. "Does that make it right to act in former but not in latter? I don't think so." After "so many years of tyranny, murders and torture," Aznar said he hoped "the Iraqi people will see freedom soon and Spaniards can proudly say in that moment that we were capable of assuming serenely and calmly our responsibility." Aznar made no mention of the emergency summit he is to hold with U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Sunday on Portugal's Azores Islands. But the national news agency Efe quoted government officials as saying the three would discuss ways of mustering international support for their stance rather than plans to attack Iraq. The Portuguese defence ministry said the summit will be held at the Lajes Field air base on Terceira island. Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Durao Barroso will also attend the summit as host, his office said. Aznar and Blair are the two most fervent supporters of the hardline U.S. stance on Iraq. Portugal also backs the United States. Spain's opposition parties, however, oppose a war, and opinion polls indicate that more than 80 per cent of Spaniards feel the same way. Aznar's party meeting in a downtown Madrid hotel came shortly after some five million people across the country, according to union estimates, staged a 15-minute work stoppage at noon to protest the war plans. Opposition politicians joined workers from government offices, businesses and factories in the protest called by the European Confederation of Unions. Socialist party leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said he hoped that Aznar would tell Bush at the summit "that if he (Bush) hasn't got the support of the United Nations for a military attack, then he shouldn't do it ... That's what the majority of people want." Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Germans stopped work for 10 minutes Friday to protest a possible war, bringing car assembly lines to a halt and trams in one city to a standstill. Labour unions, which organized the action, said more than 150,000 workers at factories across the country - among them three Volkswagen factories and a DaimlerChrysler plant in Duesseldorf - walked off their jobs briefly as part of a Europe-wide demonstration for peace. In the eastern city of Halle, trams ground to a halt. Polls have showed an overwhelming majority of Germans oppose military action against Iraq, and activists have threatened to step up protests if war breaks out. Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's government, together with France and Russia, has been leading resistance to a proposed U.S.-British resolution that would give Baghdad a short deadline to disarm, or face war. In Spain, political parties and labour unions have called for a massive turnout for anti-war demonstrations to be held Saturday as part of protests called around the globe. Today, the foreign ministry reissued a statement calling on Spaniards not to travel to Iraq and those who are there to leave the country because of the "rapidly deteriorating international situation." www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?...
The Costa Rica Kid.
All around the world, people are waging peace. To Robert Muller, one of the great advocates of the United Nations, it is nothing short of a Miracle AND IT IS WORKING. Dr. Robert Muller, former assistant secretary general of the United Nations, now Chancellor emeritus of the University of Peace in Costa Rica was one of the people who witnessed the founding of the U.N. and has worked in support of or inside the U.N. ever since. Recently he was in San Francisco to be honored for his service to the world through the U.N. and through his writings and teachings for peace. At age eighty, Dr. Muller surprised, even stunned, many in the audience that day with his most positive assessment of where the world stands now regarding war and peace. I was there at the gathering and I myself was stunned by his remarks. What he said turned my head around and offered me a new way to see what is going on in the world. My synopsis of his remarks is below: "I'm so honored to be here," he said. "I'm so honored to be alive at such a miraculous time in history. I'm so moved by what's going on in our world today." (I was shocked. I thought -- Where has he been? What has he been reading? Has he seen the newspapers? Is he senile? Has he lost it? What is he talking about?) Dr. Muller proceeded to say, "Never before in the history of the world has there been a global, visible, public, viable, open dialogue and conversation about the very legitimacy of war." The whole world is in now having this critical and historic dialogue--listening to all kinds of points of view and positions about going to war or not going to war. In a huge global public conversation the world is asking -- "Is war legitimate? Is it illegitimate? Is there enough evidence to warrant an attack? Is there not enough evidence to warrant an attack? What will be the consequences? The costs? What will happen after a war? How will this set off other conflicts? What might be peaceful alternatives? What kind of negotiations are we not thinking of? What are the real intentions for declaring war?" All of this, he noted, is taking place in the context of the United Nations Security Council, the body that was established in 1949 for exactly this purpose. He pointed out that it has taken us more than fifty years to realize that function, the real function of the U.N. And at this moment in history--the United Nations is at the center of the stage. It is the place where these conversations are happening, and it has become in these last months and weeks, the most powerful governing body on earth, the most powerful container for the world's effort to wage peace rather than war. Dr. Muller was almost in tears in recognition of the fulfillment of this dream. "We are not at war," he kept saying. We, the world community, are WAGING peace. It is difficult, hard work. It is constant and we must not let up. It is working and it is an historic milestone of immense proportions. It has never happened before -- never in human history -- and it is happening now, every day, every hour, waging peace through a global conversation. He pointed out that the conversation questioning the validity of going to war has gone on for hours, days, weeks, months and now more than a year, and it may go on and on. "We're in peacetime," he kept saying. "Yes, troops are being moved. Yes, warheads are being lined up. Yes, the aggressor is angry and upset and spending a billion dollars a day preparing to attack. But not one shot has been fired. Not one life has been lost. There is no war. It's all a conversation." It is tense, it is tough, it is challenging, AND we are in the most significant and potent global conversation and public dialogue in the history of the world. This has not happened before on this scale ever before--not before WWI or WWII, not before Vietnam or Korea, this is new and it is a stunning new era of Global listening, speaking, and responsibility. In the process, he pointed out, new alliances are being formed. Russia and China on the same side of an issue is an unprecedented outcome. France and Germany working together to wake up the world to a new way of seeing the situation. The largest peace demonstrations in the history of the world are taking place - and we are not at war! Most peace demonstrations in recent history took place when a war was already waging, sometimes for years, as in the case of Vietnam. "So this," he said, "is a miracle. This is what "waging peace " looks like." No matter what happens, history will record that this is a new era, And that the 21st century has been initiated with the world in a global dialogue looking deeply, profoundly and responsibly as a global community at the legitimacy of the actions of a nation that is desperate to go to war. Through these global peace-waging efforts, the leaders of that nation are being engaged in further dialogue, forcing them to rethink, and allowing all natio
Lilliputions are tying up Gullible in his travels.
How do the Lilliputans contain Gulliver? (english) Tim Appleby 9:11pm Fri Mar 14 '03 article#244186 More and more people are willing to state the obvious - The US is the greatest threat to World Peace. Whole World Feels Effect of US Intent, Activist Says The chief threat to the world today is not Iraq, but the United States, Argentine activist says by Timothy Appleby The Bush administration's drive to oust Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is so aggressive that even before a war has started its repercussions are being felt in every corner of the world, says Nobel Peace Prize laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel. Nobel Peace Prize recipient Adolfo Perez Esquivel listens to a discussion titled: "A world without wars is possible" during the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Sunday, Feb. 3, 2002. (AP Photo/Douglas Engle) The Argentine, who won the 1980 Peace Prize, views President George W. Bush's plans for attacking Iraq with great alarm. "Bush is setting the world on fire," he said. Mr. Perez Esquivel, a native of Buenos Aires, is an architect, sculptor and teacher. He won the 1980 prize for his resistance to Argentina's Dirty War against leftist rebels. Imprisoned and tortured, he was freed with help from Amnesty International and the Pope. At 71, he leads the Latin American human-rights group Servicio, Paz y Justicia, and travels widely on behalf of the antiwar movement. He has been in Toronto and Ottawa under the auspices of the church group KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives. After visiting Iraq last year for a firsthand look at what 12 years of sanctions and U.S. bombing attacks have done to its battered infrastructure, Mr. Perez Esquivel scoffed at the notion that Iraq poses any significant threat. A U.S. attack, on the other hand, would open "a Pandora's box, threatening to set free the demons of death and destruction," he wrote recently. "The chief danger in the world today is not Saddam Hussein," Mr. Perez Esquivel said. "It is the United States." Like other critics of U.S. policy, he perceives in the United States an angry, isolated country inflicting lasting damage on itself. Mr. Perez Esquivel reaches for some words by Abraham Lincoln, quoted by President John F. Kennedy at the United Nations in 1962. "What Lincoln said more than a century ago is that if the United States doesn't defend life, then it faces the prospect of self-destruction." Yet unstable as the planet is, Mr. Perez Esquivel fears surging anti-Americanism will make it far more so. Across Latin America, he says, the antiwar sentiment, which has prompted big demonstrations in half a dozen countries, is vigorously feeding long-term resentment over U.S. policies on trade, tariffs, militarization and debt. "What's happening with Iraq is not isolated, it's part of a global phenomenon. When we see the installation of U.S. military bases throughout Latin America, when we look at [American interference] in countries such as Venezuela and Colombia and Panama, we have to ask ourselves what's going on. "Lots of people think it and won't say it, but I will say it: The United States is seeking to control the world. That's why we are seeing the reaction in so many countries." © 2003 Bell Globemedia Interactive Inc www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0314-01...
White Rose in the Warthland.
On Friday March 14, over fifty activists went on an instantaneous march along Cincinnati Ohio?s sidewalks spreading a message of resistance and revolution to the otherwise quite downtown. The grassroots march took place after an afternoon anti-war rally on Fountain Square in the city?s main business district. Organized by several anarchist groups, the rally and march drew the attention of numerous bystanders and over twenty police officers. Another rally took place in Cincinnati at the same time near the University of Cincinnati?s campus and drew equal support. The downtown event was peaceful. But one man, in a jester of opposition to the protest, spat on a teen making a honk for peace sign. Protesters marched past the federal building and county courthouse along with local landmarks. The two-hour event came on the heals of a pro-war rally at Fountain Square on Wednesday. Cincinnati last entered the national protest spotlight when President Bush came to the city to make his case for war on October 7th. In that protest, activists took control of the streets surrounding the venue Bush spoke at, delaying the departure of patrons for over an hour. A larger rally is planned at Fountain Square on April 5 at 3 PM. For more information you can contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage.mac.com/jante99/ http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=244158

CYPHERPUNK GOLD RUSH!
Paypal is bailing from the pron biz! Big time bucks will now be available from this 'millicent ghetto.'The word is out on the street and the rush is on.Cypherpunks write code...and rake it in! Come in SEALAND! MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - In the same week a news link Website that opposes a U.S.-Iraq war accused PayPal of selective censorship in closing its account, the online payment system announced formally what's been rumored for at least a few weeks: It's saying goodbye to the adult Internet. In a new series of guidelines governing "mature audiences," PayPal said it will process transactions for pre-1980 adult-oriented items bought at online auctions and the like, but it will no longer process memberships to adult Websites or payments for sexually oriented videos, magazines, or photographs made after 1980. PayPal will continue to process payments for a number of adult novelties, "include[ing], but ... not limited to: items which are intended for use in a sexual setting (such as "bondage" and "fetish" items), items which display sexual activity or portray human genitalia in a "life-like" or realistic fashion, and vibrators intended for use in sexual activity (as opposed to ordinary massagers)" but they have to be auctioned in the "mature audiences" section of eBay, with which PayPal merged last year. Adult sites will have to remove PayPal from their payment alternatives by May 13, according to Kevin Pursglove, eBay's public information spokesman. He said accounts will be allowed to stay open long enough for the users to remove any of their funds still in the accounts. People who want adult materials and are willing to obtain them from eBay and some other auction marketplaces can still use PayPal, he said. Why is PayPal pulling back from the adult Net? Pursglove said it was mostly a question of financial risk. "Like any company, PayPal has to find the right balance between serving the needs of a large, diverse group of customers and minimizing financial risk," he said. "Over the last several months or years, there's higher financial risk associated with adult. And [adult's] actually a very small part of PayPal's business." First Amendment attorney Lawrence G. Walters said he figured PayPal was pulling away from the adult Net when several of his clients, whom he would not name, received short notices from PayPal canceling their accounts as of mid-May. "They said to one client that after reviewing financial factors, they concluded this change is the best course of business," Walters said by telephone from his Florida offices. "They didn't say what those factors are, and I don't know if that can be taken at face value." Walters said there was plentiful speculation among adult businesses who'd received similar notifications, ranging from potential government prosecutions to PayPal deciding adult is as much a potential liability as online gaming, from which PayPal backed away after merging with eBay. "At the point of the eBay merger, it didn't have an effect on adult," Walters says. "But something may have happened between then and now to cause them to re-evaluate that. And it's very disconcerting. When you take this in combination with what happened with Visa, the little guy is having a difficult time competing. PayPal was a viable alternative for people who didn't want to set up a corporation and registration fee that Visa imposed. Now, that apparently is not an option." PayPal's adios-adult move arose in a week that was already somewhat aggravating for the company. Barely having announced its initial public offering, PayPal was slapped with a class-action lawsuit accusing it of illegitimate restriction of customers' access to their own money. The suit accuses PayPal of locking customer accounts if fraud is suspected, whether the amount in question is small or large, meaning customers can't work any more PayPal-conducted payments or withdraw any of their money until PayPal clears a transaction, according to the lawsuit's filing attorney, Gail Koff. This came in the same week as WhatReallyHappened.com accused PayPal of deciding that doing business with controversial politics was less acceptable than doing business with porn sites even porn sites, the news-link site charged, that "abet" child porn and pedophilia. WhatReallyHHappened.com's Website includes a singular link to a page devoted entirely to PayPal and its recent news and problems. The page features the following note that WhatReallyHappened.com received from PayPal canceling their user agreement: "As you know, the PayPal User Agreement states that PayPal, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to close an account at any time for any reason. We write to inform you that, after a review of your site, and in accordance with the User Agreement, your account has been closed. Your funds will be held for 180 days from the date of the last transaction on the account. After 180 days have expired, we will refund your funds by mailing a check to the addres
White rose to play the Horst Wessel Lied for the new Reich.
A New Protest Project - "Operation Enduring Association" (english) New White Rose 1:45pm Fri Mar 14 '03 (Modified on 3:38pm Fri Mar 14 '03) article#244085 The Bush administration is big on symbolism - from its oceans of flags, to its "message-oriented" backdrops during official speeches, to its ominous logos and chilling slogans for the Orwellian programs it has implemented, to the "patriotic" new-speak it uses to sell its murderous war plans, to all its other techniques of mass-manipulation. Okay, if its SYMBOLISM they want, LET'S GIVE IT TO THEM! (article 1) listen (realaudio) The sacred "hymn" of the Third Reich, sung with great spirit at rallies and wherever Nazis gathered, was the "Horst Wessel Lied," alternatively known as "Die Fahne Hoch". This stirring nationalist marching song was written by Horst Wessel, an early Nazi "martyr." The song served as a central backdrop against which the worst crimes of the Third Reich were played out, and saw frequent use as the background music in Nazi newsreels and propaganda films. It was regarded with cold resentment by the large community of Germans who did not agree with Hitler or his policies, and increasingly came to evoke feelings of loathing wherever it was heard. "Operation Enduring Association" is a proposal to forever associate in the public consciousness the criminal objectives of the Bush administration with the crimes of the Hitler era by playing the old Nazi hymn wherever and whenever the Bush regime or its policies are being promoted. http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=244085

Samantha Geimer still an Anal Sex Bomb.(pic)
Shocking new details of the 1977 statutory-rape case against exiled director Roman Polanski have surfaced - threatening to derail his dramatic comeback bid for an Oscar. Graphic testimony from Polanski's then-13-year-old victim before a California grand jury was recently unsealed and published on the Web site thesmokinggun.com. The disturbing revelations include the girl testifying that the pair's illicit romps at Hollywood hot shot Jack Nicholson's house included anal and oral sex. At one point, after plying the girl with champagne and part of a Quaalude, an obviously concerned Polanski, then 43, demands to know when her last period was - and if she's on the pill, according to the testimony. When the girl says she isn't, Polanski wants to sodomize her, she said. "And I went, 'No,' " the girl said, but she was sodomized anyway. The victim, Samantha Gailey Geimer, now 39, testified that she resisted "a little bit, but not really" at the time "because I was afraid of him." She said the pair's numerous encounters included a nude romp in the hot tub - where Polanski first made a move on her - and oral sex on the couch. "He said, 'I'll take you home soon.' And then . . . he started performing cuddliness," the girl told the grand jury. Asked what that was, the girl said oral sex. "I was going, 'No. Come on, stop it.' But I was afraid," Geimer said. "Sometimes he was saying stuff, but I was just blocking him out," she said. Geimer said the pair had intercourse minutes later in the bedroom. The sex continued until they were interrupted by a woman at the house. The woman has never been officially identified, but news reports have speculated she may have been actress Angelica Huston, Nicholson's girlfriend. "Roman, are you in there?" the girl said the woman asked through the door. "Yes. I just got out of the Jacuzzi, and I'm getting dressed," she said he replied. Polanski then started having sex with her again, the girl said. Eventually, she got up off the bed, dressed, ran out to his car and wept. The girl said the pair's relationship began innocently, with him taking photos of her for French Vogue. But the photo shoots first took a darker turn when he asked her to take off her shirt and began snapping away - and things steadily grew hotter, she said. Polanski has argued that their sex was consensual, and that he didn't know the girl was 13 at the time. "It was not consensual sex by any means," Geimer, now a mother of three, wrote just last month in a column in the Los Angeles Times. "I said no, repeatedly, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. I was alone, and I didn't know what to do," she said. "It was scary, and looking back, very creepy." The Polish-born Polanski fled to France in 1978 as he was about to be sentenced for having sex with Geimer. U.S. authorities have vowed to nab him if he ever tries to return. http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/70557.htm

Fascist USA Hollywood Blacklist 2.
THE backlash against prominent stars opposing any attack on Iraq has impacted on this year's Oscars, with organisers drawing up a blacklist of people who will not be allowed a platform to air anti-war views. Meryl Streep, Sean Penn, Vanessa Redgrave, George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman and Spike Lee are among those who will not be speaking, amid fears they could turn the ceremony into an anti-war rally. In a move denounced by some as a return to McCarthyism, star presenters have been ordered to stick to scripts, while winners, who the producers have no control over, could find their acceptance speeches cut if they say anything much more than a brief thank you.

Paranoid Pre-emption Problems.The First Casualty.
The US case for war in Iraq is clouded with propaganda and misinformation. By Phillip Knightley Posted 10/2/03 Sign up here for free email updates! The rush to war, the momentum for an invasion of Iraq that most us feel powerless to stop, seems to have killed our caution. We are in danger of failing to think for ourselves, failing to ask the right questions and falling prey to the barrage of propaganda and disinformation that is constantly pumped at us. So let's begin at the beginning. Why is the United States so obsessed with weapons of mass destruction? At the end of the Second World War, the United States came under strong domestic pressure to end the draft. But the Soviet Union still had the world's largest land forces. So Washington decided to rely on the atom bomb - and an air force to deliver it - to assert its military superiority. Then in 1949, the Soviet Union developed an atom bomb too. With its nuclear monopoly ended, the United States was reduced to trying to prevent other countries that might be future enemies from acquiring nuclear weapons, a policy that, as Immanuel Wallerstein of Yale University points out, can hardly be termed a resounding success. However, it was one thing for the major western powers to develop their own nuclear weapons - a war between, say Britain and America, was so remote as to be unthinkable - and hopefully India and Pakistan will follow the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction that kept the nuclear peace between America and the Soviet Union for nearly 50 years. But what about Iraq? There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has been trying for years to build an atom bomb. There is also no doubt that he has failed. One project was levelled by Israeli bombers. One programme was too complex for Iraqi science or technology. Another was destroyed by the International Atomic Energy Agency before it left Iraq in 1998. Norman Dombey, who teaches theoretical physics at the University of Sussex, says that as far as nuclear weapons are concerned, Iraq is much less of a threat now than it was in 1991. The International Institute of Strategic Studies agrees with this assessment and so, to a lesser extent, does Britain's Joint Intelligence Committee. Sir Andrew Green, former British ambassador to Syria and Saudi Arabia, says "Talk of the Saddam threat to the West is, frankly, largely manufactured". George W. Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard do not want us to believe this and their black propagandists and spin doctors have put a lot of effort into trying to convince us that Iraq is only months away from getting a bomb which it will itself use against the West or will make available to al Qa'ida. It is instructive to trace the origins of such worrying stories. The main source is Khidhir Hamza, an Iraqi defector. In testimony before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations he said that Iraq would have nuclear weapons by 2005. Elsewhere he reduced the time to a matter of months. (The Times, 16 September 2002). How does Hamza know this, and if he does not know it, why is he saying it? He has not been in Iraq for eight years, so he cannot have any first-hand information. He says that when he was there he was a "nuclear engineer", but his CV - which is on the web - reveals him to be a specialist in scientific computation and modelling. Dombey describes him as "a glorified computer scientist". The point about all defectors is that they tend to say what they feel their new hosts want them to say. When they first defect, their residence visa may depend on doing this. When they are established in their new country, their well-being and prospects are linked to their public performance. For instance, Hamza defected in 1995 after the CIA planted a story in the London Sunday Times while he was visiting Libya. The story claimed Hamza had admitted that Iraq had a secret weapons programme and that he possessed documents which confirmed this. Realising that the story was a death sentence if he returned to Baghdad, Hamza managed to persuade the CIA to take him and his family to the US. Hamza knew that the documents were CIA forgeries but he said nothing when Madeline Albright quoted them to the UN Security Council in order to prevent any relaxation of the sanctions on Iraq. What about the story that Iraq has sought the supply of significant quantities of uranium from Africa? Dombey answers this succinctly: "So what? The IAEA has told me that Iraq already has hundreds of tons of uranium at its disposal. Without enrichment facilities this material is useless for nuclear weapons, though it could conceivably be used in conventional weapons in the same way that depleted uranium is used by the UK and the US." Dombey points out that more than 50 countries would be able to build an atom bomb given sufficient fissile material. All it would require would be a research institution with a good physics department and an army familiar with e
Terrorist Submarine Capabilities.Smartnets needed.
MANILA, Philippines, March 13 (UPI) -- The Moro Islamic Liberation Front ordered some $2 million worth of arms from an alleged North Korean intelligence officer, a Philippine network said Thursday. ABS-CBN news says it's part of a rebel plan to launch an all-out war against the government. The network, quoting military officials, said that the MILF also planned to buy mini-submarines to augment its fighting capability. The military officials said the plans were revealed in documents seized from the house of MILF chairman Salamat Hashim, when the military overran a rebel camp. The North Korean was identified in the documents as Rim Jyu Do, who is said to be a ranking North Korean intelligence officer, the network reported. The arms purchase reportedly involved "millions of rounds of ammunition for M30 machine guns; 10,000 pieces of T65K2 M-16 rifles; 200 pieces of T75 assault machine guns, 1 million rounds of T65K2 armored pricing bullets; 250,000 rounds of tracer bullets for M-16 rifles and 250,000 rounds of M-16 ammunition for training; and 1,000 different types of hand grenades." Armed Forces spokesman Col. Essel Soriano told reporters that the military is trying to verify if the weapons had been delivered. http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030313-062155-7264r
VERINT needs Liquidating.
Verint makes a mint from govt. spyware By Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus Online Posted: 14/03/2003 at 10:15 GMT If you're under FBI surveillance, there's a good chance your phone calls and Internet traffic are traveling over the equipment of Verint Systems -- a company that's doing very well these days, writes SecurityFocus' Kevin Poulsen. New York-based technology firm Verint Systems recently launched a product called "IntelliFind" that claims impressive capabilities. The system is designed to be attached to the phone lines at a company's call center, where it silently monitors every telephone call, and -- using advanced voice recognition technology -- picks out conversations in which certain keywords are spoken, dumping a digital recording into a searchable database. "You can decide you want to see all the calls where product 'xyz' was mentioned, and then you can pick one and listen to that entire call," says Alan Roden, Verint's VP of corporate development. If IntelliFind sounds like something that would normally be found on a supercomputer humming in an NSA basement, there's a reason. Behind business intelligence offerings like IntelliFind, and a line of networkable video cameras, Verint is a leading maker of electronic surveillance equipment and software for the United States and other governments. And it turns out that while other technology firms are struggling in a down economy, the business of helping governments with their spying may be a growth industry. In quarterly results announced Wednesday, Verint, a subsidiary of Comverse Technology, posted record sales of $42 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002 -- the company's third straight quarter of growth since going public in May 2002. "During the year we believe that a greater interest in gathering intelligence to prevent criminal activity by government and law enforcement agencies resulted in greater demand for our communication interception solutions," said company president Dan Bodner in a conference call for analysts. "Over the past year we enhanced our competitive position by entering new markets, expanding our customer base, and introducing new capabilities for the analysis of content and culled data collected from wireline, wireless and data networks." Among those new markets was an unnamed country "in the Latin America region" whose government recently placed a multi-million dollar order for communications interception systems, said Bodner. Bodner didn't say what the Latin American government bought with that money, but the mainstay of Verint's electronic surveillance business is its "STAR-GATE" and "RELIANT" products, which operate on the supply and consumption sides of domestic spying respectively. The RELIANT system acts as a government agency's big ear, collecting and managing intercepted voice, e-mail, fax, SMS, data, chat, and Web browsing -- all on a single platform. On the delivery side, STAR-GATE does the actual wiretapping, and is primarily marketed to telephone companies trying to comply with the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which requires telecommunications carriers to keep their networks wiretap friendly for the FBI. An ISP version of STAR-GATE lets Internet providers conduct lawful surveillance of their customers and send the intercepted data to law enforcement over private networks. PATRIOT Profits With recent legislation and court decisions granting U.S. law enforcement agencies greater spying powers than they've had since the Nixon administration, government surveillance solutions look like a good bet, and other technology companies are getting in on the game. Last Fall, VeriSign launched its "NetDiscovery" service -- a turnkey CALEA solution for telephone companies that sends intercepted communications to law enforcement over a national IP-based network, using Verint STAR-GATEs for the taps. And last August, computer security company Network Associates got into the Carnivore business with its acquisition of Utah-based Traxess, makers of the "DragNet" Internet spy tool. And for every company that makes the news with a surveillance system, there may be countless more that nobody's ever heard of. When the non-profit Electronic Privacy Information Center recently obtained a list of companies vying for a piece of the Defense Department's "Total Information Awareness" computerized spying project, the list of bidders included nearly as many obscure companies as it did brand name defense contractors. "It looks like there's this whole world of these little security technology companies that are probably doing well these days," says EPIC attorney David Sobel. But Gartner analyst John Pescatore isn't convinced that there's big money in domestic surveillance. Instead, he says, the real opportunities are in helping the U.S. perform surveillance internationally. Indeed, according to its quarterly report, Verint has a subsidiary that provides communications interception solution
IT slimed me.

I'm the slime oozin' out From your TV set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold That's right, folks . . . Don't touch that dial Funny I was just thinking about this song today. http://www.etherzone.com/2003/blow31403.shtml If only the major networks had played this classic Zappa song before Bushs press conference last week to set the stage for what was to follow. Doing so wouldnt have made it any easier to swallow the putrid slime oozing from my TV, but the press conference would have then much more closely complied with federal Truth in Advertising statutes. Ive read numerous reviews of Bushs press conference, but the vast majority seemed to have been written by pundits who apparently watched some other Bush press conference. I dont quite understand how this could have happened because the press conference that I watched was on almost every channel on my cable system. Maybe they were all watching channel 236. Maybe it was sunspots. How about a brief time warp into a different dimension? Sure, why not? That could explain it. One of the better reviews of this press conference appeared in the New York Press, titled "Cleaning the Pool--The White House Press Corps politely grabs its ankles."
Clinton is a rat...but not an idiot.
2003 -- Handwritten plans uncovered in Afghanistan reveal that Osama bin Laden's terrorists wanted to assassinate then-President Bill Clinton at an international economic summit in Malaysia, an al Qaeda expert says. In the never-before-revealed plot, al Qaeda obtained a map of the summit site and inside info on security before the leaders of 21 nations gathered in Kuala Lumpur in November 1998 for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. The crude map, hand-drawn in red and black ink, was found in Afghanistan in late November 2001 by the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance, said Green Beret Keith "Jack" Idema. An Arabic legend on the right side of the map detailed the locations of security gates, a "surveillance room" and part of a mosque just outside the complex. On the back of the map was an insider's report on the conference's security. Clinton canceled two days before the event, and sent then-Vice President Al Gore in his stead. http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/031303clinton.htm
Ship Leaking,Sinking.
Secret US report scorns Bush policy attacks Middle East policy By Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles 15 March 2003 A classified State Department report has poured scorn on George Bush's much-touted policy that a military invasion of Iraq will lead to a flowering of democracy across the Middle East. The report, leaked to the Los Angeles Times, is the latest indication of divisions within the Bush administration on the goals and even the wisdom of the war it is itching to start. And it offers a rebuke to neo-conservatives whose grandiose theories about refashioning the world in America's image have been central to the Iraq enterprise from the start. "Political changes conducive to broader and enduring stability throughout the region will be difficult to achieve for a very long time," the report says. It cites corruption, serious infrastructure degradation and overpopulation as reasons to doubt whether any kind of stability, much less fully functioning democratic government, will be possible in the foreseeable future, in Iraq or in many of its neighbours. "Liberal democracy would be difficult to achieve," the report goes on. And it warns that any electoral democracy would be subject to exploitation by "anti- American elements" a reference to the Islamist parties that American foreign policy has been at pains to exclude from government across the Middle East, even if that means supporting autocratic and repressive regimes. The intelligence source who leaked the document concluded: "This idea that you're going to transform the Middle East and fundamentally alter its trajectory is not credible." The date on the report, 26 February, was the very day the President laid out his vision of a domino effect, in which a US invasion of Iraq would be the beginning of a democratic revolution throughout the Middle East. "A new regime in Iraq would serve as a dramatic and inspiring example of freedom for other nations in the region," Mr Bush said. The State Department report, by contrast, dismisses the domino theory in its title: Iraq, the Middle East and Change: No Dominoes. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=387231
Powell overboard.
We Should Sit Out This War US Credibility on Iraq Has Eroded to an Extent That It is Becoming Hard to Believe Anything from the Bush Administration by Haroon Siddiqui It was said the war on Iraq was coming after the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. That was three months ago. Then it was supposed to be coming right after the annual Muslim pilgrimage of Haj. That was a month ago. The delay is instructive. People power can propel governments to gum up the works of the world's biggest war machine, even if briefly. Now that the threat of a veto has forced the United States to postpone a United Nations vote, if only temporarily, the Canadian compromise, or a version thereof, is back in play. But as reasonable as Jean Chrétien's, and now Tony Blair's, proposal to give Iraq a new deadline may sound, it is deeply flawed. It only postpones war. In fact, it guarantees it by pre-authorizing war in case Iraq does not disarm. We know now what the U.S. will say then: that Iraq has not complied. More than a new deadline which only the inspectors should set, anyway we need clearer rules to end Iraqi dodging on the one hand and American rush to war on the other. Chrétien has been courageous in stating categorically that Canada is not in the business of "regime change." Also, that Canada will not join the war without U.N. authorization. He needs to clarify three more points, to light our own path ahead. · It is the U.N., not the U.S., that should set the "benchmarks" for Iraq and also make the final call on whether Iraq is in breach. · The U.N. authority to go to war must be clear, not implicit. Should the Canadian/British proposal go nowhere, the Americans and the British will likely revert to their current position, which is to not ask the Security Council to vote on the use of force but rather on whether Saddam Hussein is in breach of U.N. resolutions. That would not constitute a full U.N. mandate for war, the way most Canadians would understand. Canada should refuse to join the war under such a circumstance. · In case the Anglo-American resolution is vetoed but does win a majority of nine votes, Canada should not accept the predictable American spin that the outcome somehow legitimizes unilateral American action. A veto is a veto, whatever one thinks of this outdated mechanism. In having to swallow it, America will taste its own medicine. It has cast more vetoes than any democracy. Only the Soviet Union and its successor state, Russia, have cast more, 117 to 73. Chrétien needs to hold firm to his commitment to the international rule of law. He should not be offering to hold the back door open for George W. Bush to rush out to a war which lacks both legal and moral legitimacy. The Bush administration's staggering dishonesty can best be seen in the number of times the U.N. inspectors have had to shoot down its unsubstantiated assertions. Both Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei are seasoned international civil servants who understand the value of non-partisanship. But they felt compelled to set the record straight. First, Blix: No, his inspectors were not spied on. No, the Iraqis could not have had advance knowledge of the sites to be inspected. No, he did not think Iraqi agents were posing as scientists, or that real scientists were being whisked out of the country to avoid interrogations. No, he found no evidence of Iraqis hiding or moving banned materials in or out of the country. No, he did not believe that Iraq had cleaned up some sites before inspections, as Colin Powell alleged, using before and after satellite pictures that Blix exposed as having been taken "several weeks apart." No, the trucks that Powell identified as mobile labs producing biological weapons were not in the germ warfare business; they were carrying food-tasting and seed-processing equipment. No, Iraq had not hidden the long-range missiles that the inspectors ordered destroyed: "These weapons were declared; they were not clandestine." No, he found no evidence that Iraq was producing and storing chemical or biological weapons in underground bunkers. No, he saw no persuasive evidence of Iraqi links to Al Qaeda. "There are other states where there appear to be stronger links." Now, ElBaradei: No, there was no uranium bought from Niger. Documents purporting to show that were forged. No, the International Atomic Energy Agency found no evidence that high-strength aluminum tubes were imported for uranium enrichment. Even if they were, it was unlikely that Iraq had the capacity to redesign them for such usage. No, there is no evidence of Iraq using imported high-strength magnets in its nuclear program. No, there is no evidence of a resumption of "prohibited nuclear or nuclear-related activities." Despite being contradicted on so many fronts, Powell is now saying with a straight face that he has "new information" that Iraq is building new missiles as the inspectors are destroying the old ones.

Prune Danish.
Danish war ship flee from protestors previusly announcing action against ships participation in the war of terror / against terror Protesters force danish army to flee The danish protests against a war in Iraq took a turn from demonstations to direct action when 200 activists forced the pre-mature departure of warship "Olfert Fischer" from Korsoer, Denmark. "Olfert Fischers'" mission is to participate in a NATO-drill in the mediterranian and thereby preparing war on Iraq. When the activists arrived at the military-base to find that "Olfert Fischer" had allready left, they celebrated the news. "This prove that the struggle to prevent war can be won." Said Global Roots spokesperson Lars Grenaa. "The army had prepare the departure of Olfert Fischer as media-show to make war look nice and tidy. Today we have forced the military to change their plans, we showed that war is not good looking young men in uniforms, but a bloody, unhuman business." Activists cut through the military fences and invaded the base. Some activist managed to climb the houses, and from the seaside activists blocked the harbour in a small motorboat. It seemed clear that if Olfert Fischer had still been at Korsoer, it would have been stranded in the dock. As a response to the activists intrusion, the police attacked the demonstrators outside the base, and forced the demonstration away from the fences. The demonstration continued towards a nearby harbour to meet the sailing activists, and the day ended without further encunters. 13 activists were arrested and charged with trespassing, vandalism and attempted vandalism. The protests are part of worldwide activities against the war. Activities that have allready closed down harbours in Greece, and blocked trains in Italy. "The preporations for war continue dispite the fact that millions of demonstrators showed opposition to the war on february 15. The demonstrations will continue, but direct action is now also a part of the war against war. It is our duty as human to sabotage the build up for war." Global Roots say in a press-release following the protests in Korsoer. ulydighed.dk/ http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=244271&group=webcast

Operation Winston.
In 1927 Winston Churchill ordered the gassing of Kurdish tribesman, rationalizing his decision on the basis that the Kurds were "uncivilized." Thousands died in the gas attacks. In 1941, Winston Churchill ordered British scientists to commence an urgent program to develop weaponized anthrax for use against Nazi-occupied Europe. He knew from the outset that such an attack would kill both occupied and occupiers alike. The plan was never implemented, but not because of humanitarian concerns; the scientists encountered (or at least they claimed to have encountered)tremendous technical obstacles in their attempts to weaponize the anthrax cultures they produced. This and other technical difficulties resulted in the abandonment of the project. Winston Churchill was responsible for the deaths of many thousands of his own countrymen. Although the British government had cracked the German Enigma cipher and knew ahead of time the exact timetable for the Nazi bombings of major British population centers, Churchill decided not to order evacuations or otherwise alert residents of targeted areas. He feared that warning the people would signal to the Nazis that the Enigma code had been broken, and felt that allowing thousands to be killed in the bombings would serve as a positive indication the code was secure. http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=244261&group=webcast
Prepare to launch countermeasures.
This journalist has learned from a source inside the foreign ministry that the meeting this weekend amongst British, US and Spanish leaders is infact a War Council, NOT a diplomatic meeting as is being reported in mainstream news. US Troops have been placed on 'hair trigger alert' and the war could very well begin monday or in the early hours of tuesday. All emergency actions should be prepared to happen this week. A source known to me in the government has informed me the war will likely begin on Mon-Weds. The indication of this will be a lie of an Iraqi attack on US troops in Kuwait or in the western desert. Emergency actions should be planned to take place early this week. http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=244222&group=webcast
The Kosher Nostra and Uncle Sams Uncle Tom Colin Powell,the liars liar.
Colin Powell and the Marketing of Uncle Sam Afnan Hussein Fatani, Special to Arab News And they will say (on the Day of Judgment): Our Lord! Indeed we obeyed our leaders and our elders and they led us astray. Our Lord! Give them double the punishment and curse them a great curse. (The Quran: 33:66-68) Nelson Mandela was right. The bribing, bullying, horse-trading and warmongering we are witnessing in the world today are all because theres a black man sitting at the helm of the United Nations. From Guinea, the poorest and smallest country in Africa, to Bushs America, the greatest nation, and the greatest people, on the face of the earth no one seems to bother what the black secretary-general of the United Nations thinks or what he plans to do. Hes simply become inaudible and invisible. But Mandela forgot to add another pathetic figure to his list of black leaders who have distorted the shape of our world simply by being black. That man is Colin Powell, the US secretary of state. The problem with Powell started when he hired advertising executives to improve the US image in Arab countries indeed in the entire world. He has been quoted as saying that a professional who once sold Uncle Bens Rice to the nation was the perfect person to sell Uncle Sam to the world. But this is exactly the type of false analogical thinking and superficial reasoning that has marred Powells logic ever since he transformed from dove to wolf-in-sheeps-skin. Just because both phrases share the same word uncle, that doesnt mean that Ben and Sam are the same. In fact, both products are radically in opposition. Uncle Bens Rice literally sold itself because it was good, nutritious and healthy; Uncle Sam isnt selling because the product is bad, unwholesome and malevolent. Powell can no more sell his stale product than a grocery store can sell rotten apples and tomatoes, except to the starved and dying of the world, except to the famine-struck African peoples of Guinea, Angola and Cameroon. There are three questions that Powell needs to ask himself: Is it ethical to wax down his rotten produce and sell it off as nutritious and healthy food? If health-conscious people arent buying, is it moral to shove it down their throats? When all attempts at marketing a tainted Uncle Sam failed, was it ethical to capitalize on his own credibility and his credentials as a war-hero? Charlotte Beers, the advertising executive hired to improve the US image resigned last Monday, citing the frightening gap between who we are and how we wish to be seen and how we are in fact seen. That is the kind of professionalism that the world expects from America. That is American ethics at its best. Powells subtle method of lying has become a stable strategy used by almost all US government officials, including of course the US president himself. The effectiveness of this strategy lies in its sheer simplicity; one merely falsifies truths by creatively manipulating a constant variable a digit, a letter, a color, a shape, a name, a date of birth or place of origin. Powell first used the method in his PowerPoint presentation to the UN when he tried to convince us that the rabbit shape we see in the moon really is a live gigantic rabbit. It has now become something of a global joke that the only established link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq is the letter q found in both words. Notice, for example, the digital link used by Bush when he claimed in his first speech after the tragedy of Sept. 11 that 130 Israelis had died in the twin towers when the correct number was actually 3 (out of the 3,000 Israeli employees that were supposed to have been in the WTC at the time of the explosions). Powell found an ingenious three-in-one link between Al-Qaeda, Iraq and Palestinians. Al-Zarqawi, he told us at the UN, was an Al-Qaeda terrorist operating in Northern Iraq and also a Jordanian of Palestinian origin. To make this link stick, Powell had to falsify a few basic facts. First, that Al-Zarqawi is operating in the American-controlled No-fly Zone and hence outside the jurisdiction of the Iraqi government Second, that he is of pure Jordanian descent from the Al-Khalaylah tribe, one of the tribes of the Bani Hasan clan. The question is, even if Al-Zarqawi was of Palestinian origin, does that prove that Palestinians are terrorists? What about John Walker, the American Taleban? Shouldnt his origins be used to link Americans to terrorism and Al-Qaeda? There is something nauseating about watching a once dignified and trustworthy black war-hero having to lie, deceive and cajole just to find favor with his rich Texan boss. Last week, we watched in utter shock as Colin Powell promised the Arab world in an interview with the newly launched Arab TV station, Al-Arabia, that the invasion of Iraq would be short. Yes, we all know how short and sweet the bombing campaign will be in Iraq. In a

Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories." Benyamin Netanyahu, then Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister, former Prime Minister of Israel, tells students at Bar Ilan University, From the Israeli journal Hotam, November 24, 1989 "AIPAC has a lot of influence on foreign policy. They work hard to ensure that America endorses pretty much Israel's view of the world and the Middle East." JJ Goldberg, editor of the Jewish newspaper The Forward BBC Worldservice online May 7, 2002 "People are scared in this country [the US], to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Well, so what? For goodness sake, this is God's world! We live in a moral universe. The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists.

The Superpower that we are.
The emerging superpower of peace March 15, 2003 Amidst the agonizing crisis over Iraq, the violent contortions of the world's only military superpower have given birth to a transcendental force: the global Superpower of Peace. That George W. Bush's obsession with Saddam Hussein has become a global issue at all is perhaps the most tangible proof of this new superpower's potential clout. Only one thing has slowed (or stopped) Bush from launching this attack: the economic, political, moral and spiritual power of an intangible human network determined to stop this war. Bush has amassed the most powerful killing machine humankind has ever created. He's set its fuse on the borders of an impoverished desert nation with no credible ability to protect itself from this unprecedented attack. His military henchmen believe the conquest of this small country can be done quickly, with relatively few casualties on the the attacking side (though many civilians would die on the Iraqi side, as they did in the 1991 Gulf War I). The potential prizes are enormous: · Outright control of the world's second-largest oil reserve; · Removal of Bush's hated personal rival, a US Frankenstein gone bad; · A pivotal military base in the heart of the Middle East; · Hugely lucrative contracts for both the destroyers and the rebuilders of Iraq; · The ability to test a new generation of ultra high-tech weaponry; · The chance to display the awesome killing power of that weaponry; · The chance to demonstrate a willingness to use that power; · The fulfillment of Biblical prophesy as seen through the eyes of religious fanatics. But after months of preparation, the world's only military superpower has hesitated. Instead of obliterating Baghdad---as it physically could at any time---the Bush cabal has flinched. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says he needs no military allies. But he's desperately courting them. Bush says he doesn't need UN approval. But he's desperately sought it. Why? One could argue the US has been marking time because it's not quite ready, with deployments and other technical needs not yet met. But all that is now far more difficult with an astounding rejection by Turkey, which shares a strategic border with Iraq. Turkish opposition to war is running a fierce 80-90%. Major arm-twisting (and a $26 billion bribe) has not bought permission to use Turkish land and air space. Meanwhile, the "no" votes of China, Russia, France and Germany represent the official opinion of some 2 billion people. They are irrelevant to the mechanics of armed conquest. But the four nay-sayers represent enormous political and economic power. So do scores of other nations whose nervous millions now march for peace. "Never before in the history of the world has there been a global, visible, public, viable, open dialogue and conversation about the very legitimacy of war," says Robert Muller, a long-time UN guiding light who views this global resistance as virtually miraculous. To all this has been added the opposition of the Pope. The Bush cabal may be asking that infamous question: "How many divisions does the Pope have?" But about a quarter of the US---and its armed forces---are Catholics. They may soon be forced to choose between the opinion of their infallible spiritual leader and that of their unelected president. The Pope has already been asked to put himself between the people of Baghdad and a US attack. He could also speak "ex cathedra," banning Catholic participation in the war. Meanwhile the spiritual opposition has been joined by a wide spectrum of religious organizations, including Bush's own church. Though constantly speaking in religious terms, Bush has refused to meet with the broad range of clerics who oppose his war. Meanwhile, worldwide demonstrations are growing bigger and more focused. In Britain one wonders if the next march might shut down London or the entire country. Massive civil disobedience is inevitable at dozens of US embassies. Consumer boycotts are likely to erupt with staggering force. Within the US, the fiercest opposition may well be coming from Wall Street. Specific corporations such as Dick Cheney's Halliburton and Richard Perle's consulting firm stand to make a fortune from Gulf War II. But mainstream financial and commercial institutions are understandably terrified. The American economy is already staggering under deep recession. Bush's tax cuts will yield stratospheric deficits for decades to come. The US economy now bears the sickly pallor of a collapsing empire. With war, a depressed stock market that hates instability could well plunge another 25-50%. Next would come the worldwide boycott of American products. China counts a billion-plus citizens and a rapidly emerging economic powerhouse. France and Germany dominate the European Union, which will soon outstrip the US in gross output---and consumer spending. A bill
Rat Arrest.KAGAA Safe.
Serbian police arrest 'rat' after PM's assassination The police in Serbia say they have arrested a key suspect in the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. The Serbian police say they have arrested Mladjan Micic also known as "the rat". It is claimed he is one of the leaders of the so-called Zemun crime gang which authorities believe was behind the assassination of Mr Djindjic. The arrested man was detained along with six other people at a house in the village of Malo Crnice, 70 kilometres from Belgrade. Weapons, ammunition, surveillance devices and car number plates were also retrieved in the raid. A police spokesman say they found evidence important for their investigation into the assassination. http://abc.net.au/news/justin/nat/newsnat-16mar2003-35.htm

Massive in Milano.
Today March 15, 700.000 people demonstrated peacefully in Milano, Italy against the war to Irak and to defend their rights as workers. The demonstration was organized by the biggest and the most radical Italian trade union, CGIL, but all parties, groups, organizations, associations what have been working against the war to Irak, have joined. (In Italy there are 3 main trade unions, they have always moved together for tens of years, but one year ago our government was able to break their unity, signing a separate agreement with the other two, UIL and CISL. The objective of the action of the governement was CGIL and its radical positions. But the workers did not fall into the trap and when CGIL called for strike, the biggest demonstration in the whole world history took place: about one year ago 3 millions people were in Roma to defend their right not to be kicked out "without a valid reason". The new law against the workers could not pass). In Italy the movement against the war is collecting more and more partecipation, 2 millions rainbow flags are hanging at Italian windows, 35-40% people are in favour of non violent but illegal actions of train-stopping, the parties constituing the left coalition have taken definitive position against the war, our government only 10-15 days ago declared they would substain Bush anyway, ONU or not ONU, now is embarassedly silent. http://dc.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=55735&group=webcast
Mega Tsunami coming from an Atlantic Island.EAST COAST ALERT!
En español / In Spanish Scattered across the worlds oceans are a handful of rare geological time-bombs. Once unleashed they create an extraordinary phenomenon, a gigantic tidal wave, far bigger than any normal tsunami, able to cross oceans and ravage countries on the other side of the world. Only recently have scientists realised the next episode is likely to begin at the Canary Islands, off North Africa, where a wall of water will one day be created which will race across the entire Atlantic ocean at the speed of a jet airliner to devastate the east coast of the United States. America will have been struck by a mega-tsunami. Back in 1953 two geologists travelled to a remote bay in Alaska looking for oil. They gradually realised that in the past the bay had been struck by huge waves, and wondered what could have possibly caused them. Five years later, they got their answer. In 1958 there was a landslide, in which a towering cliff collapsed into the bay, creating a wave half a kilometre high, higher than any skyscraper on Earth. The true destructive potential of landslide-generated tsunami, which scientists named "Mega-tsunami", suddenly began to be appreciated. If a modest-sized landslide in Alaska could create a wave of this size, what havoc could a really huge landslide cause? Scientists now realise that the greatest danger comes from large volcanic islands, which are particularly prone to these massive landslides. Geologists began to look for evidence of past landslides on the sea bed, and what they saw astonished them. The sea floor around Hawaii, for instance, was covered with the remains of millions of years worth of ancient landslides, colossal in size. But huge landslides and the mega-tsunami that they cause are extremely rare - the last one happened 4,000 years ago on the island of Réunion. The growing concern is that the ideal conditions for just such a landslide - and consequent mega-tsunami - now exist on the island of La Palma in the Canaries.

Sword of Damocles over the US Right Coast.
In 1949 an eruption occurred on the unspoiled Canary Island of La Palma. As magma inflated the volcano, the entire western flankan immense pile of rock totaling 200 cubic kilometersdropped four meters seaward then stopped. This huge rock mass still hangs over the western Atlantic, ready to slide into the sea at any moment. The legacy of this collapse will herald calamity for all living around the margins of the Atlantic Basin, as colossal wavesinitially up to 200 meters highfan out from the island. Thousand-ton boulders hurled 20 meters above sea level and kilometer-long wedges of sand rammed between the islands testify to what happened when tsunami from the last Canary Island collapse pounded into the Bahamas, eons ago. Next time, the Caribbean and the east coast of the U.S. will suffer the same fate, and the destruction will be on a scale never before experienced. What we must remember is that this is not science fiction. It is a question of when, not if, part of La Palma collapses into the Atlantic. http://countdown.org/end/earthquakes_12.htm#ear_above_us_the_waves There is also evidence of Mega Tsunamis in Hawaii following similar incidents in the past and one developing now on Maui.

Wish I was back in Kansas Toto.
Kansas' party ban remains By SARAH KESSINGER Harris News Service TOPEKA -- What Ellsworth Rep. Josh Svaty thought was a "little nothing bill" turned into a lively First Amendment debate this week and restored a ban of the Communist Party from Kansas politics. The measure, Senate Bill 95, breezed through the Senate earlier this year, but hit a wall Wednesday in the House Elections and Local Government Committee. The bill was a request from Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh, who said current law is unconstitutional. The statute's wording currently bars certain political parties from filing in Kansas and includes a 1941-imposed restriction on the Communist Party. The section on communists also bans groups that instigate the overthrow of government through violence. Committee member Svaty, a Democrat, said he was surprised at the committee meeting when legislators began to amend the bill to restore the ban on communists. He viewed it as clearly anti-democratic. "The whole reason that this country is different is because we have freedoms that other countries don't have," Svaty said Friday. The amended bill passed the committee 7-6. It is now before the full House. Jesse Borjon, a spokesman for Thornburgh, said the law is ineffective in its current form. "Banning certain political parties from filing for office has been ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court," Borjon said. The high court has ruled that barring certain political parties violated the First Amendment right to free speech and freedom of association. "If we don't repeal those statutes, they stay on the books, and we can't enforce them," Borjon said. "It wasn't something we thought was controversial." Committee member Arlen Siegfreid, R-Olathe, supported restoring the language. He said veterans on the committee were concerned about removing the communist ban. Also, he said, the majority of the committee thought it was foolish to remove the language on violence "when we're chasing terrorists all over the world for that very reason." It is disturbing, Svaty said, "that since September 11 we've seen these sorts of First Amendment rights completely dissolve before our eyes, and no one's doing much about it." "I took an oath to stand up for these constitutional rights," he said. Svaty said his arguments to the committee were met with, "You're young, you don't remember the days when we had to hide under desks for bombing drills." http://www.saljournal.com/stories/031503/new_party.html
Bloody Oil since 1989.
In 1989, the State Department released a report that described in gruesome detail Iraq's violation of human rights, specifically how Iraq's President Saddam Hussein tortured his own people for allegedly being disloyal. But despite the atrocities outlined in the report, which President Bush now refers to when speaking about his desire to remove Hussein from power, the United States, under the first Bush Administration, refused to vote in favor of a United Nations resolution calling for an inquiry into Iraq's treatment of its population and possibly indicting Hussein for war crimes and human rights abuses. The two people most vocal about refusing to go along with the U.N. investigation are now lobbying for a U.N. resolution authorizing an invasion of Iraq and are highly critical of the countries that refuse to back a U.S. led coalition to use military force to remove Hussein from power. Those men are Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. But in 1989, the first Bush administration refused to join the U.N. in publicly protesting the forced relocation of at least half a million ethnic Kurds and Syrians in the late 1980s, even though the act violated principles of the 1948 Genocide Convention, according to Middle East Watch, a human rights organization. The Bush and Reagan administrations also declined to punish Iraq when it used poison gas against Iranian soldiers in 1984 and Kurdish citizens in 1988. Moreover, the U.S. did not oppose the fact that Hussein bought 45 American helicopters, worth about $200 million, with assurances they were for civilian use, then transferred them to his military. Armitage said in 1990 that that "in retrospect, it would have been much better at the time of their use of gas if we'd put our foot down," according to an August 1990 story in the Los Angeles Daily News. Despite U.S. intelligence reports that showed Iraq's capability of building weapons of mass destruction and its inhumane treatment of its own civilians, the Bush Administration turned a blind eye and instead focused on improving U.S. relations with Hussein. The U.S. removed Iraq from its list of countries supporting terrorism in 1983, which reopened the door to federal subsidies and loans to Iraq. Saddam Hussein "made it clear that Iraq was not interested in making mischief in the world," Rumsfeld said, who, as a Middle East envoy for the Regan Administration, reopened discussions with Saddam in 1983, according to the Daily News story. "It struck us as useful to have a relationship with him." The current Bush Administration, many of whom served in the Reagan and the first Bush administrations, refuse to acknowledge that their policies toward Iraq at the time backfired and we may be paying a price for it now. But at this point, Iraq does not pose a threat to the U.S. and threats against the nation appear to be purely personal. Under former Rumsfeld's watch during his years in the Reagan and Bush administrations, he and the former presidents allowed Hussein to build his army and a cache of chemical and nuclear weapons. In fact, many of the hawks that serve in the current Bush Administration assisted Hussein's regime in reaching these goals during the late 1980s and early 1990s. For example, Judicial Watch said, according to the Daily News story, "that the U.S. extended $270 million in government-guaranteed credit from the Export-Import Bank to buy other American goods, despite repeated failures to make loan repayments on time. Since 1982, Baghdad has become one of the biggest buyers of U.S. rice and wheat, purchasing $5.5 billion in crops and livestock with federally guaranteed loans and agricultural subsidies and its own hard cash." "Iraq benefited from a thriving grain trade with American farmers, cooperation with U.S. intelligence agencies, oil sales to American refiners that helped finance its military, and muted White House criticism of its human rights and war atrocities," the Daily News story said. Armitage admitted in 1990 that the Reagan and Bush administrations were well aware of Hussein's brutality, but still, the U.S. was more interested in maintaining a healthy relationship with Iraq because the country's vast oil reserves was beneficial to U.S. interests. "We knew this wasn't the League of Women Voters," Armitage said, referring to Hussein's regime, according to the Daily News story. Jason Leopold is a regular columnist for CounterPunch.

Bunkerbusters needed...for Cheney.
While chants of "No War for Oil" mark an increasingly dissenting and skeptical public, the Bush administration has continued bulldozing its way towards a crushing Iraq rendezvous. As you read this war may already have begun. But startling in its candor, a US Department of Defense document has just been discovered, a top-level document specifically discussing war for oil. This is the first official document found explicitly confirming as policy the US Defense Department's readiness to wage oil war. According to the report--Strategic Assessment 1999--prepared for the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense (and only recently unearthed by this journalist), "energy and resource issues will continue to shape international security". Explicitly envisioned were potential oil "conflicts over production facilities and transportation routes", particularly in the Persian Gulf and Caspian regions. Paradoxically, Strategic Assessment 1999 forecast it was "most likely" that America would not need to "employ military forces" to obtain energy. But the Assessment nevertheless ranks as extraordinary, doing so because it positively documents an official willingness to wage oil war, a willingness at the very highest levels of the US defense community. While the document was prepared under Clinton, it suggests he was willing to wage war only to protect what he perceived as the existing interests of America's economy. In contrast, war critics have repeatedly charged that Bush is seeking to conquer new interests, not defend old one's. Clinton may have opened the door, but Bush marched through it. In what many will see as a disturbing parallel to present events, the Report also drew attention to pre-WWII Britain's pursuit of an approach where "control over territory was seen as essential to ensuring resource supplies". However, the defense policymakers authoring Strategic Assessment also appear cognizant of the potential consequences of such policies. The authors warned that if the great powers should return to "the 19th century approach" of securing resources, of conquering resource suppliers, "the world economy would suffer and world politics would become more tense". Although at the time of its writing, Strategic Assessment 1999 predicted adequate US energy supplies, it also found that supply shortages "could exacerbate underlying political differences and serve as a catalyst for regional conflicts", illustrating oil war's potential trigger. And the Bush administration has repeatedly stated that America is facing what has been termed an "energy crisis". Highlighting the Assessment's importance, it was prepared by the Institute for National Strategic Studies, part of the US Department of Defense's National Defense University. The Institute is located at Fort McNair in Washington, DC, and lists its primary mission as policy "research and analysis" for the Joint Chiefs, the Defense Secretary, and other key US Governmental security and defense bodies. But this DOD "smoking gun" is linked to another. In 2001 US VP Dick Cheney headed the Bush administration's National Energy Policy Development Group, an energy task force working to devise a National Energy Policy to address America's looming shortages. In line with the defense policy outlined in Strategic Assessment, it had been urged that Cheney's task force include DOD participation. And so it will surprise few that the Bush administration has been going to extraordinary lengths to conceal both who attended the Cheney energy task force's meetings and what those meetings were about. Commenting upon the nature of this concealment, Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA), the ranking member of the Committee on Government Reform, said "The White House should simply try telling the truth on the Task Force's activities and stop hiding information that Congress and the public have a right to see." The Administration's stonewalling also spawned a lawsuit by the General Accounting Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress. The Cheney Task force confrontation resulted in the GAO pursuing the first lawsuit in its 81 year history, though, that suit was dismissed this December by Judge John Bates, a recent Bush appointee. Bates' decision found that the GAO had "no standing" to sue Cheney or any other executive branch official for information. In a sharp reflection upon that decision, John Dean (the former Republican Presidential Counsel) wrote, "the present situation is absurd". Dean charged that Bates' ruling means an ordinary US citizen has more power to compel the release of government information than the investigative arm of America's Congress. Cutting to what many perceive as the ruling's true basis, Congressman John Dingle (D-MI), ranking member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, charged "Vice President Cheney's cover-up will apparently continue for the foreseeable future". And summarizing the key question, the former US Vice-Presidential candidate, Sen. Joseph Lieber
U.S. Marine shot in the neck.
CAMP UDAIRI, Kuwait -- This may surprise the folks back home, but the U.S. Army forces massing across the Iraqi border are largely unarmed. Even though all U.S. soldiers deployed to the six main Army camps in northern Kuwait must carry their rifles at all times -- even to the latrine in the middle of the night -- few are carrying any bullets. This is not an oversight, or a lame-brained cost-saving measure ordered by the Pentagon, or an indication that American military leaders believe they can take Iraq without firing a shot. Rather, it's an effort to stave off the sad inevitable: Once the Army starts issuing ammo en masse, soldiers will accidentally shoot themselves and each other. Those who served in Afghanistan, Desert Storm and other conflicts can attest to it. At Wednesday's morning briefing at Camp Udairi, American leaders were told that four soldiers in the British sector were injured when one of their rifles accidentally discharged. Last week, a U.S. Marine was shot in the neck by an officer who was cleaning his pistol in another tent. He survived but required major surgery, doctors said. Officers say the safety risk far outweighs the security risk. "We may be rolling the dice, but I can guarantee that you're not going to have any large forces rolling across the border and over-running our camp," said Maj. Spencer Smith, a logistics coordinator for the 101st Airborne Division. In the meantime, the soldiers patrolling the perimeter and the sentinels have all the rounds they could ever need. The Apache and Black Hawk helicopters patrolling the skies above the camps can quickly bring a hellstorm of cannon and missile fire on any approaching enemy, and Patriot missile batteries stand ready to shoot down any Iraqi Scud missiles. Smith and others couldn't recall a combat deployment where the bulk of troops remained without bullets for so long. Some got here in December, although most of the 101st Airborne arrived about 10 days ago. Many soldiers say they feel silly carrying empty guns. "If something kicks up, we're s--- out of luck," said Pfc. Jessica Ruth, 19, of Florence, S.C., supply clerk in the Division Supply Command of the 101st Airborne. At the same time, she said, "I don't feel comfortable with (ammo) because we got some careless people around here." On base, it's easy to tell which soldiers are ready for ammunition. Infantrymen -- who have been given some bullets -- and former infantrymen wield their weapons as deftly as a chef handles a knife and saute pan. The M-4 rifle is the tool of their trade, and they practice with it for hours a day. It is an extension of themselves. http://www.sptimes.com/2003/03/13/Worldandnation/Mask__gun__check_Bull.shtml
USA Suez Crisis.
WASHINGTON - The United States is moving about 10 Navy ships armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles from the eastern Mediterranean to the Red Sea, senior U.S. officials said yesterday. The move indicates weakening U.S. confidence that Turkey will grant overflight rights for U.S. planes and missiles. From the Red Sea, the cruisers, destroyers and submarines would be able to launch their Tomahawks - typically fired in the opening hours of a war - for flights over Saudi Arabia to targets in Iraq. The ships are part of the USS Harry S. Truman and USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier battle groups, which have been operating in the eastern Mediterranean for weeks in expectation of war against Iraq. No decision has been made to move the carriers from the Mediterranean, but that could be the next step, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Each carrier has about 80 aircraft aboard. It had been hoped that the Tomahawks could cross Turkey's airspace, but the Turkish government has not granted overflight rights. Tomahawks are satellite-guided missiles usually used in the opening stages of war to strike high-value, fixed targets such as government buildings in areas where the risk of civilian casualties is relatively high. The Tomahawks are designed to evade radar by skimming the land or sea and were designed in the mid-1980s. After the Persian Gulf war, they became one of the U.S. weapons of choice to respond to Iraqi breaches of United Nations sanctions. The issue of overflight rights for U.S. missiles and planes has been overshadowed by the Bush administration's struggle to win Turkey's approval to base 60,000 or more U.S. troops there for a northern front against Iraq. The Turkish parliament rejected the U.S. request for basing rights this month, and Pentagon officials said yesterday that it appears increasingly unlikely that the Army would position its 4th Infantry Division in Turkey, as was planned. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nationworld/iraq/bal-te.war14mar14,0,901663.story?coll=bal%2Dhome%2Dheadlines
"Don't appreciate your gestapo attitude!"
Suitcase surprise: Rebuke written on inspection notice By Susan Gilmore Seattle Times staff reporter Seth Goldberg says that when he opened his suitcase in San Diego after a flight from Seattle this month, the two "No Iraq War" signs he'd picked up at the Pike Place Market were still nestled among his clothes. But there was a third sign, he said, that shocked him. Tucked in his luggage was a card from the Transportation Security Administration notifying him that his bags had been opened and inspected at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Handwritten on the side of the card was a note, "Don't appreciate your anti-American attitude!" "I found it chilling and a little Orwellian to have received this message," said Goldberg, 41, a New Jersey resident who was in Seattle visiting longtime friend Davis Oldham, a University of Washington instructor. Goldberg says that when he took his suitcase off the airplane in San Diego, the zipper pulls were sealed with nylon straps, which indicated TSA had inspected the luggage. It would be hard, he said, for anyone else to have gotten inside his bags. TSA officials say they are looking into the incident. "We do not condone our employees making any kind of political comments or personal comments to any travelers," TSA spokeswoman Heather Rosenker told Reuters. "That is not acceptable." Goldberg, who is restoring a historic home in New Jersey, said he picked up the "No Iraq War" signs because he hadn't seen them in New Jersey and wanted to put them up at his house. "In New Jersey there's very little in the way of protest and when I got to Seattle I was amazed how many anti-war signs were up in front of houses," he said. "I'm not a political activist but was distressed by the way the country was rolling off to war." Goldberg said he checked two bags at Sea-Tac on March 2 and traveled to San Diego on Alaska Airlines. The TSA station was adjacent to the Alaska check-in counter. Nico Melendez, western regional spokesman for the TSA, said the note in Goldberg's luggage will be investigated, but he said there's no proof that a TSA employee wrote it. "It's a leap to say it was a TSA screener," Melendez said. But Goldberg said, "It seems a little far-fetched to think people are running around the airport writing messages on TSA literature and slipping them into people's bags." He says TSA should take responsibility and refocus its training "so TSA employees around the country are not trampling people's civil rights, not intimidating or harassing travelers. That's an important issue." Oldham, the UW instructor, said he was so upset by the incident he wrote members of Congress. U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., has asked TSA for a response. "The Senator certainly agrees with you that it is completely inappropriate for a public employee to write their opinion of your or your friend's political opinion," said Jay Pearson, aide to Cantwell, in a letter to Oldham. He said he expects it may take a month or more to hear back from the TSA. "I just thought it was outrageous," Oldham said. "It's one of many things happening recently where the government is outstepping its bounds in the midst of paranoia."

Sexual Autonomy Now.
SINCE no subject today seems to be wanting for a cultural history, no subject is unimaginable. Not even masturbation, even though it is as close to a sexual taboo as you can get in the 21st century. Thomas Laqueur, a history professor at the University of California, Berkeley, delivers his most penetrating observation in his penultimate footnote (and there are 70 pages of them). "In general, masturbation is that rare thing in modern talk about sexuality: something best left unspoken and so discomfiting that it can only be broached by a joke," he writes. Bill Clinton sacked his surgeon-general for saying the dread word at a press conference, which is a joke, surely. Mr Laqueur reports that, in the experiences of pollsters, only personal income provokes as much reticence. Yet masturbation is a common, if not shared experience, in both men and women. The author covers everything there is to say about the subject, often saying it twice or even three times. We learn that to describe it as onanism is to misread Genesis. Onan spilled his seed on the ground, not as an act of solitary sex, but because he did not wish to impregnate the wife of his late brother. The biblical reference gave his name to a book published in 1712 and titled "Onania", a clever concoction of salacious case studies of the act, coupled with stern disapproval of it. The book went through many editions; both author and publisher made a decent profit; Mr Laqueur identifies it as a landmark in masturbation studies because its publication defines the moment when solitary sex "moved from the distant moral horizon to the ethical foreground." The University of California at Berkeley hosts a biography for Thomas Laqueur. AfraidToAsk.com hosts a masturbation guide with a medical viewpoint. Masturbation was denounced by teachers, doctors and churchmen as the vice of vices, punished by dreadful physical symptoms, from desiccated limbs to blindness. To prevent it, specialist manufacturers offered erection alarms, penis cases, sleeping mitts and hobbles to stop girls from spreading their legs. Freud was exercised by it throughout his life. But the medical case against masturbation did not survive beyond the 1920s, and by the end of the century it had become, in some circles, "a model of self-sufficiency, moral autonomy and freedom from the overweening power of patriarchy and heterosexuality." It was especially respectable in feminist and gay circles. At the start of a new millennium masturbation supports profitable businesses selling pornography and vibrators. One thing cultural history shows is that there really is nothing in the world from which ingenious people won't make money. http://www.economist.com/books/displayStory.cfm?story_id=1632177

Shrub is trying to use spit in a sand storm.
We came back to my house and headed right for the shower immediately. We're both letting it all hang out. I got out of the shower after she did, but when I walked back into my room she was already dressed and on her way out of the door, saying 'Bye-bye' as she left. I went back into the shower and cried," a 27-year-old man tells Spa! (3/18). It appears more Japanese women than ever are toying with guys, carrying them to the brink and then suddenly pulling out before going all the way. "Too many girls are prepared to have foreplay, but end it there," another man moans. "They just don't understand how hard it is for a guy." Perhaps it's because they realize how hard it is that the women are not going all the way. But there're plenty of other reasons, too. "Frankly speaking, foreplay is only a substitute for masturbation. I don't need to have it inserted to climax. I do have urges, but I'm too embarrassed about touching myself, so I use a guy for foreplay and then call a stop when I'm satisfied," one woman tells Spa! Another woman suggests her reasons for suddenly stopping could be for fetishist reasons. "Nothing gets me more excited than having an ugly guy nowhere near my ideal type licking all over my body. That's more than enough," she says. Women have even designed methods to guarantee they get foreplay and not a guy who wants to go all the way. "If I tell him that he'll get my venereal disease if he sticks it in, he won't go near it," a 25-year-old woman says. "Of course, I don't have any sort of venereal disease." Some take even more radical steps. "If I tell him I've got an illness, there goes any hope of oral. I just stick a tampon in and say it's that time of the month. If there's something in there already, they won't want to visit. And no guy has got the guts to rip a tampon out," the 28-year-old trading company employee tells Spa! More women refuse to go all the way because they want to taste their guys in little doses, like a sommelier tasting wine. These women hold off until they get the vintage they're looking for. "First you have to check out his room. If it's a typically dirty bachelor pad, I go straight home. But if it's done up to look like some gigolo's lair I give him a miss, too," a 25-year-old woman says. Some are in fact willing to go all the way, but end up refusing after watching their partner perform a little. "Nothing riles me more than a guy who'll notice I'm barely damp and try to use spit instead of putting in a little bit more effort," a 25-year-old woman says. "They can't make a fool of me that easily." Sometimes the women just want their guys to be a little more forceful. "We'll get around to the time to connect, but I have to tell him then that he can't do it. It's not so much that I want to be seen as pure, but I don't want to be seen as an easy lay, either. But the guy shouldn't give in at those times," a 26-year-old woman says. Refusing the guy a chance to go all the way can sometimes have practical reasons, like the 26-year-old woman who likes to wear pricey lingerie before the first time with a new partner. "On the average female office workers wage, there's no way you could afford to wear lace underwear every day," she moans to Spa! "Covering the weekends alone is hard enough." http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/waiwai/0303/0315hardball.html
Anarchists at the World Bank."We'll be back!"

The A-List (that archaic curiosity over which PRs still slaver).
Scandal: A Scurrilous History of Gossip 1700-2000 Reviewed by Daphne Guinness March 15 2003 SCANDAL: A Scurrilous History of Gossip 1700-2000 By Roger Wilkes Atlantic, 400pp, $49.95 This is good. Cancel the dentist (teeth whitening), the doctor (Vitamin B shot). The Bold and The Beautiful doesn't stand a chance. Roger Wilkes has dug into the troughs of muck and slime and produced a riveting 300-year overview of scandal. A gottahave for gossip writers and fans of the genre. I just hope it gets translated into 40 different languages, including Japanese and Swahili. Aaron Spelling, creator of Dallas and Dynasty, says gossip is "rich people having problems that money can't solve". Satirist Francis Wheen says "it is something interesting if true". According to Auberon Waugh, flamboyant exponent of the art, "it's who is bedding whom where public figures are concerned". But it's more than that. It's the frisson experienced on dishing/hearing a hot item for the first time. To read Wilkes is like whizzing through every scandal ever published (he obviously had fun writing it). He unbuttons obscure stuff such as who coined the phrases jet set, cafe society, glamour girl, the roaring twenties, but more than that he reveals the forerunner of the A-List (that archaic curiosity over which PRs still slaver). In the late 19th century the American social lioness Mrs John Jacob Astor asked her pal Ward McAllister to run up a list of eligibles for a ball she was planning. He agreed - "after all, there are only 400 of us" - and the press pounced. Naming New York's charmed circle was the way to go. Then along came Colonel William Mann, the Saunterer in Town Topics, saying "the 400 of New York is ... so shallow and unhealthy it deserves to be derided incessantly". Thus: "Miss van Alen suffers from some kind of throat trouble. She cannot go more than half an hour without a drink." Wilkes is full of info any trainee gossip hack will find useful (I wish I'd had a quarter of it during my stint on The Daily Express's William Hickey diary). For instance, in 1704 Daniel Defoe, who devised the world's first chatty newspaper column, pioneered the technique of keeping names secret (as in K- was seen kissing I-). And The World's Edmund Yates, in the 1870s, invented the personal voice that gossip columns aped 100 years later. "I hear", "I understand" and "I learn" were coined by him. He even went to jail for a woman reporter's paragraph that went wrong. (That's three charming old habits due for revival, quick sticks.) Wilkes is not out to get hacks. I suspect he's egging them on. With relish he tells of Maury Paul, columnist for William Randolph Hearst's American, saying, "Until you find a bomb every night in your car, until you be chased from every club and are the fear of every hostess, you will not be a newspaperman." Well, hear, hear. But tough as it was in those days, it was nothing compared with the 20th century, with lords Beaverbrook and Rothermere, vying for readers, constantly sacking their gossip writers. They went from grubby reporters to the literati whingeing about their calling. Sacheverell Sitwell wrote Atticus in The Sunday Times and likened it to a truffle hunt. Malcolm Muggeridge on the Evening Standard's gossip page found it "revoltingly futile and exhausting". Harold Nicolson worked for Beaverbrook and yearned to be out of "playing the spillikins of the press". Only Nancy Mitford got a kick out of it, doing a column for The Lady: "a freeloader's dream, going everywhere for free". Getting five guineas a week, she treated herself to a "divine coral tiara - the family think I've gone mad". Chunks of famous scandals - Princess Diana et al - slow the pace, but as a guide to evolving gossip it is hunky-dory. In the mid-'60s it was about "social" people and events. In the '70s keyhole peeping returned and the new celebrity culture moved to the front pages: rock singers, film stars, TV actors, radio disc jockeys, nightclub owners and fashion models were Fleet Street's popocracy. The writing became sharper, nastier and more cutthroat than ever. The Hello! launch in 1988 opened an obsequious, nice end of the gossiping trade, paying targets fees as large as mobile numbers. Its most celebrated front-page headline made news: "The Duke and Duchess of York Grant Us the Most Personal of Interviews and for the First Time Ever Throw Open the Doors of Their Home and Invite Us to Share Their Intimate Family Moments" - for a reported £250,000 ($650,000). But the height/depth of gossiparama has to be the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, launched in the computer age. Matt Drudge, cybercolumnist of the Drudge Report, says "I don't call it journalism. I go where the stink is." And how. Daphne Guinness is a former Fleet Street gossip columnist. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/14/1047583693568.html
My name is Howard Fast.
'Spartacus' Novelist Howard Fast, 88, Dies Former Communist Party member Howard Fast wrote on class issues. (1988 File Photo) By Adam Bernstein Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, March 14, 2003; Page B07 Howard Fast, 88, the best-selling novelist whose books including "Spartacus," "Freedom Road," "Citizen Tom Paine" and "Conceived in Liberty" reflected his own struggles with justice, civil freedoms and the Communist Party, died March 12 at his home in Old Greenwich, Conn. No cause of death was reported. Starting in 1933, Mr. Fast wrote more than 80 books but complained that he did not have time to complete more. He also was a foreign correspondent, playwright, political candidate and lecturer. Historical romance, drama and biography were his metier, and his books, which sold tens of millions of copies, were known for their gripping pace and compelling storylines. "Conceived in Liberty: A Novel of Valley Forge" (1939), the story of soldiers facing obstacles including starvation during the Revolutionary War, was the first of his books to sell one million copies. Many of his works were adapted for film and television. Several of his stories were combined to become the basis for "Rachel and the Stranger" (1948), a frontier romantic drama with William Holden, Loretta Young and Robert Mitchum. His novel "Spartacus" (1951), about a slave revolt against the Roman empire, became a popular 1960 film with Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier and Tony Curtis. "Mirage" (1965), the Gregory Peck thriller about an amnesiac, was based on a story Mr. Fast wrote under a pseudonym, Walter Ericson. Muhammad Ali starred in the 1979 made-for-television movie "Freedom Road" (1979), based on Mr. Fast's novel about a former slave during the Reconstruction Era who runs for political office and fights the Ku Klux Klan. Many of his books from the 1940s and 1950s explored class and race disparity in the United States and implicitly promoted what he then considered a utopian Soviet system. In the 1950s, he was one of the most high-profile authors in the United States to be jailed and blacklisted for actions related to membership in the Communist Party. In 1956, he publicly broke with the Communists after Joseph Stalin's atrocities were noted in a speech by Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. His essays on leaving the party were published in The Washington Post, the Saturday Review and other media outlets. He wrote of joining the Communist Party in 1943, influenced by "a series of dismal and underpaid jobs that I had held since, at the age of eleven, pressed by the need of our utter poverty, I went to work as a newspaper delivery boy." He continued: "If we are to seek for understanding, any sort of understanding, then the reader must not only recall the 1930s, but must comprehend the full meaning of the surrender of childhood, a situation that poverty still imposes on millions of children the world over." Howard Melvin Fast was a native of New York. His father was an ironworker, cable car gripper, tin factory worker and dress factory cutter. His mother died shortly before he turned 10. He was raised by various relatives and held all sorts of jobs. He sometimes begged and stole food. His later work at the New York Public Library led to his immersion in the world of literature. He wrote his first book, the historical romance "Two Valleys," when he was 18. Increasingly, he blended class and race issues into his historical works, strikingly in his bestseller "Freedom Road" (1944). During Word War II, he worked for the Office of War Information and wrote foreign dispatches for Esquire and Coronet magazines. After the war, he began using his fiction to counter what he felt was a prevailing American attitude against minority groups and labor unions. Considered pro-Communist in theme, his books from that era -- including "Clarkton," "My Glorious Brothers" and "The Proud and the Free" -- were widely distributed in the Soviet Union. For his fiction, he received Stalin's international peace prize. In 1950, the House Committee on Un-American Activities ordered him to a three-month jail sentence for contempt of Congress when he refused to produce records of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee, of which he was a member. In 1952, he was an American Labor Party candidate from New York to the House of Representatives. He also wrote a column for the Daily Worker, the Communist Party newspaper. Blacklisted by many publishing houses, he formed his own company, Blue Heron Press, to publish "Spartacus." The book grew out of his own experiences behind bars. After breaking with the Communists, he wrote "The Naked God" (1957), a novel about an idealistic youth who turns to Communism to address the world's ills and finds its leaders lacking in judgment. "No former Communist had ever written more bitterly of his personal experience," reviewer David Sanders, an English teacher at the U
Librarians are revolting.
This book is one of the lasting monuments of the library underground, though the contributors surely never imagined this kind of respectful archiving. Thirty years on, its mixture of wild-eyed idealism and bleary-eyed realism is still a testament of solidarity with the enthusiastic, disgruntled or just plain bolshy librarian, the sort of thing that the Association of Assistant Librarians did so well before putting on a tie and becoming the Career Development Group. The introduction by one of the editors gives the best insight into its utopian aims and get-your-hands-dirty production. As much as possible will be reproduced here, respecting the copyright of those contributors who chose to retain it, and the "D© Copy. Do Something." exhortation for the rest. A sequel is due this summer. Contents http://owen.massey.net/libraries/revolting/
KAGAA as Altruistic punishment.
Evolutionary psychology Pro bono publico Mar 13th 2003 From The Economist print edition The evolution of punishment explained HUMANS, unlike most other animals, often co-operate with individuals to whom they are unrelated. That puzzles evolutionary biologists. It means they have to explain the spread of genes which cause an individual to engage in altruistic activities that are costly to perform, and yet benefit only others. The usual assumption is that favours will be repaid. The question is how, given the number of cheats and freeloaders around, that repayment can be relied on. And one of the answers is to punish the cheats. However, imposing punishment, too, is costlyoften, it seems, more costly than an individual's own interests could justify. So the problem is merely pushed back a step. There still needs to be an explanation for the evolution of this so-called altruistic punishment. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences publishes an abstract of the paper by Robert Boyd and his colleagues. Robert Boyd, an anthropologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, and his colleagues, think they have found it. In a paper just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they discuss a series of computer simulations that show how, once they appear, genes for altruistic punishment tend to spread. Dr Boyd modelled 128 groups of individuals who, together, constituted a virtual society. He then let his model society evolve. There were two distinct evolutionary pressures at work. Individuals competed with one another in a classic Darwinian manner. But entire groups competed as well. In Dr Boyd's model (as in the real world), these two pressures tended to work in opposite directions. Each group comprised individuals who adopted one of three behavioural strategies. Co-operators helped the group to improve its fitness at the expense of their individual rewards. Defectors willingly accepted the help of others, but did not reciprocate. Punishers behaved like co-operators, but also punished defectors at a cost to themselves. At first, the researchers ran their model without including punishers in it. In this case, when the groups were small (four individuals per group), co-operators came to dominate. Freeloading off other group members is not a great strategy when the others are few in number. Co-operation, by contrast, helps everybody in the competition with other groups. When the groups were larger, though (up to several hundred individuals), defecting came to dominate. In this case the benefits conferred on an individual by defecting outweighed the cost to the group. Which is where punishment came in. Dr Boyd showed that when punishers were introduced to the mix, even if they started in only one group, their strategy spread rapidly through the population. The benefits to a group of having punishers to keep defectors in check outweigh the cost to individual punishers. This is particularly true when defection is rare, as the cost to punishers is then lower. And because defection does not pay when punishers are common, it tends to be rarea virtuous circle. So much for the theory. But it also seems to illuminate reality. Modern hunter-gatherer societies, which are assumed to be similar to those of early man, have a maximum size of 150-180 people. Without punishment, the computer simulations suggest that co-operation would have died out in groups of this size. There is a long way to go, of course, before computational anthropologists can accurately simulate human societies. Dr Boyd hopes to move a bit in that direction by making the models of both individual behaviour and group structure more complex. For example, the existing model has no geography. All the different groups are thus equally likely to encounter each other. However, the model can already say something interesting about what might have happened hundreds of thousands of years ago. And that is no small feat. http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=1632073
Warthland Security at Work.
Anti-Bush T-Shirt WHIO-TV, NEWSCENTER 7 Secret Service Agents question a Bellbrook High School student for wearing a controversial t-shirt. The shirt has a picture of President Bush on it and the words, "not my president." The picture also showed cross-hairs on the Bush's forehead. Because this issue is so sensitive, even we don't know the students name. But we can tell you this whole thing was brought to the attention of school administrators after two students came forward and complained. According to the Assistant Principal, the student had worn it before and the shirt didn't cause any problems until cross hairs appeared on the President's forehead. The Assistant Principal confiscated the shirt, called the FBI and agents then called the secret service. From that point, the Secret Service took over the investigation and met with the student and essentially treated the situation as a potential threat on the president. There are more than 800 students at Bellbrook High School and the Assistant Principal says they're all good kids, but he's especially proud of two of them. The Assistant Principal states that he is proud of the two students who brought the issue to the attention of the school administration. http://www.activedayton.com/partners/whiotv/news/1209_tshirt.html
TIMISOARA-ROMANIA Report.
please spread this arround! ACTIONS AGAINST WAR END UP BAD IN TIMISOARA-ROMANIA. ABC STARTS. As I said, there was planned a march for peace in the city, on the 15th of march and the student organisation fooled us and got no autorisation. so, here we are in front a hard decission. should we go on ilegal demo or not. and the answer was, hell yes! so we prepare for the action. in the previous night at the punk concert there were 4 secret agents, and that was a sign from them that they will not stop there. the authorised march was supposed to start at 13:00 in front of the university and go through the town. so, we decide we will still keep that as a convergence point, and after go to center and have a smaller march, without blocking cars and just leafleting and having banners and flags. morning hours were a pain, cause people from the student organisation called by chiefs of the police got so scared that they would keep us all time on the phone. we said we still go there, but because the cooking part was going hard, we decided that we should go and say to the people who will come to the university that the demo will be delayed untill after the food not bombs action. going in front of the university we found one big surprise. the place was full with police. we spread arround so that we can let people know that meeting point has changed. we managed to announce some of the people, but not all. we also met one of the people from the student ngo who fucked us. he was all pale and he said that he had converstions on the phone with police chifs for more than one hour. he was begging us not to protest, not to put out banners, not to do anything. hehe! he said 3 big chiefs of the ppolice where there and there is a big mobilisation from the police. anyway, so we announce as many people as we can, it seemed that more people preferd to come at the f.n.b. actions than at the march. anyway, we got back to the cocking place so, that we discuss new strategies for the action. people from CAF (craiova anarho front) and the REVOLUTIONSHOP group, from craiova were here offering theyr help for the action and preparation. theyr support was heartening for all of us here. there we discussed and realised that there is no way we could do the march at all and we should focuse on the food not bombs, which together with our week of leafleting would make some sense and worth the material and financial help. there were in the square where we did the food not bombs action some 50 people who camed there for the action and also about 20 street kids/people which we have gathered from the streets. we put the banners up the sorounding walls and a friend was playing the guitar. everything was ok, untill the first sign appeared... the chief of a gendarmerie (i don't know the exact spelling) team camed to us. he asked that he wanted to talk to the leader of the group. we said we have no leader. he said that somebody would better asume this role. so our hippy-guitar friend went and gave his id and said what's about. the discussions went great. the "jandarm" said he is glad that we have initiative and even if we don't have any autorisation he will send to boys of his team to protect us from the eventual fury of some potential people who would hate our stance. he said that we will start to shout or do other "stupid" things disturbing the order and neighbors he and his team will act imediately. we were so amzed about what we heard and we went on with the sharing of food and feeling good. all things went good untill the food was almost gone, and a police (not gendarmerie!!!) car camed. this time there were 6 policemen who jumped out and asked the same question. who is your leader? so the story went almost the same. the hippy friend said what he told to the other guy, other people also went there and explained that the action is close to the end and we will soon go. the poliman said that they want to protect us from eventual aggressions from the other people who might pick on us because of the way we look or whatever. and that he respects what we're doing but w need to finish soon because they have a lot of missions and they are doing voluntary work there and are freezing (?!?). so we say that we finish soon and go home with a fifth food not bombs action with no problems. in very few minutes another police car camed and and a very big chief camed out. he gave some orders and a policemen asked for our id's, of everybody. the people who had none could go home. and they were not happy that so many of us gave the id's to them (maybe because of too much paper work for them!!!). anyway, some people got theyr id's back and others not. what happened next? 19 people got fines of 1.500.000 and one got 1.700.000, meaning about 45 euro per person. that comes in a situation where almost everybody was unemployed, student or whatever thing with no job. and that's in a country where the average salary is 100$. the action was clearly a political one, and i

Assistance Needed
Dear sir, Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It´s my pleasure to send you this proposal with the hope that you will treat it as highly confidential. A very satisfactory information I received about your esteemed profile gave me the courage to reveal this top secret to you. I am Barrister Richard Davis, a lawyer by profession and a family attorney to an erstwhile Military Governor of one of the states in Nigeria. My client is among seven others presently facing trial, charged with corrupt enrichment while in office under the new Anti-corruption Bill recently passed to law by the National Assembly. My client told me in strict confidence that he deposited the sum of $45 million U.S. dollars fourty five million U.S.dollars) with a security company here in Nigeria, and that the money is kept in two boxes each containing $22.5 million U.S. dollars. (Twenty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) He also told me that he is holding the money on trust for one of the Ministers of late President Laurent Kabila of Zaire who was assassinated by one of his personal aids. Due to the uprising following the assassination of President Laurent Kabila of Zaire, the Minister in question is presently under hiding in Nigeria for fear of probes by the new administration. Consequent upon this new anti-corruption bill, my client is worried sick on how to remove these funds from the security company before it is discovered and seized. After due consultation with the security company, we were advised to liaise with a foreigner who will represent us as the sole beneficiary in Europe where the security company has their regional headquarters, It is on this reason that I am contacting you for assistance and to invest part of it in properties, and the rest in triple AAA bank security. My client and the Minister have agreed that the money should be moved abroad for this purpose, and my client has entrusted me with the task of getting a trustworthy person overseas who could as securtity company overseas where it will be transferred to, I am sending you this proposal seeking your immediate assistance. Arrangement has been concluded on how this money will be moved to a security company abroad to enable you claim it with relative ease for investment. Following charges leveled against my client under this new anti-corruption bill, the Federal Government of Nigeria has embarked on the seizure of his assets and frozen of his bank accounts both in Nigeria and abroad, but has not discovered this money yet because of the coded formation under which it was deposited, hence there is urgent need for this money to be moved abroad before it is stumbled on and seized. My client is offering you 20% of the entire money for your ssistance,and another 5% of net operating profit after tax on the investment if you are to manage the investment on his behalf. If you find this offer acceptable, please get back to me as soon as possible for further information on the modalities for the successful completion of this transaction. Include your confidential telephone and fax number while replying for easy communication. Best regards, Barrister Richard Davies Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr
