Subject: Your PayPal Account RE: Money in your PayPal account Dear friend, That's what you will see if you choose to do this program -- and lots of it!! Seriously!! This is something that I wouldn't normally even look at, except I read an article in the Wall Street Journal on June 16th, 2001 about Pay Pal and x.com and the e-mails just keep coming in for this. That means somebody's making money with it. I finally decided to read the darn thing and I'm glad I did. Please read on! There have been other articles written about these companies in other well recognized journals. Because I'm a member of PayPal and use it everyday in my business, I knew that this was real and would work. THIS IS THE FASTEST, EASIEST PROGRAM YOU WILL EVER DO!!! Complete it in one hour and you will never forget the day you first received it!!! Oh! Did I say FAST? "The speed of the internet-type fast." The Newsletter and all payments are made on the Internet By E-Mail. NEED PROOF? Here are just two testimonials from individuals who decided to invest nothing more than a little of their time. Testimonial from: ********************************************** Mary Gathers, Columbia, SC: Hey cuz! This is Mary. I only have one thing to say to you..... OH MY GOD! I sent 20 e-mails out like you said and went on vacation. When I got back, my account was up to over $12,000! I owe you! GETTING STARTED. The very first thing you need to do is go to PayPal and sign up. It takes two minutes and PayPal will deposit $5.00 in your account. That makes this program FREE! Here's the link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home BE SURE TO SIGN UP FOR A PREMIER ACCOUNT OR YOU'LL BE LIMITED TO $100 DOLLARS ONLY!!! YOU WILL MAKE MUCH MORE THAN THIS!!! ! Then E-Mail the $5.00 from your PayPal account to the FIRST name on the list (#1) along with a little note like "Please add me to your mailing list." BE PREPARED TO GET EXCITED.... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Read the following and you will agree this is a very exciting opportunity. ARE YOU IN NEED OF MONEY RIGHT NOW? HOW DOES $20,000 IN TWO WEEKS SOUND? Don't laugh! Try this for a change while you wait for the others to start working. One hour of work to get started and no mailing lists! This service is 100% legal (refer to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of Federal Regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or service must be exchanged for money received). Here's How It Works. Unlike many other programs, this THREE LEVEL PROGRAM is more realistic and much, much faster. Because it is so easy, the response rate for this program is VERY HIGH VERY FAST -- Internet E-Mail FAST -- and you will see results in two weeks or less! JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT MONTHS BILLS! You only mail out 20 copies (not 200 or more as in other programs). You should also send them to people who send their programs, because they know these programs work and they are already believers in the system! Besides, this program is MUCH, MUCH FASTER and has a HIGHER RESPONSE RATE! Even if you are already in a program, stay with it, but do yourself a favor and DO THIS ONE as well. START RIGHT NOW! It's simple and takes NO INVESTMENT! It will pay off long before others letters even begin to trickle in! Just give ONE person a $5.00 gift (REMEMBER THOUGH, this $5.00 is $5.00 YOU GOT FREE WHEN YOU SIGNED UP FOR THE PayPal account). That's all! If you already have a PayPal account and do not receive their $5.00 gift, feel free out of the goodness of your HEART to donate a $! 5,00 GIFT to the person in the number 1 spot for him to have your name added to the advertisement list. So anyone's MAXIMUM INVESTMENT IS $5.00. Follow the simple instructions and in two weeks you will have $20,000 in your bank account! Because of the ZERO INVESTMENT, SPEED, and HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL, This program has a VERY HIGH RESPONSE RATE! FROM just ONE $5.00 bill that you get FREE at PayPal!!! Follow These Simple Instructions: 1. E-Mail the $5.00 from your Paypal account to the FIRST name on the list (#1) along with a note saying "add me to your mailing list." Only the first person on the list gets your name and five dollar gift. Edit only the list, removing the FIRST (#1) NAME FROM THE LIST. Move the other two names UP and ADD YOUR NAME to the list in the THIRD (#3) position. Don't try to add your name in the first place in order to earn money fast! If you do that, you will ONLY reach people you sent e-mail to and then your name will be immediately removed from the first place and you can't reach more people! But if you add your name on the 3rd place, there will be tons of people receiving E-Mails with your name first later!!! NOTE: Do not forget to replace the PayPal referring URL in the body of the letter with your own PayPal referring URL. Send out 20 copies of this letter. ALSO NOTE: By sending this letter and the payment via E-MAIL, the response time is much faster... ELECTRONIC TRANSFER INTERNET FAST! CONSIDER THIS, MILLIONS of people surf the Internet everyday, all day, all over the world! Here are the 3 people to start with. Sign up and send $5.00 to the first person!!! 1.- irahick(a)yahoo.com 2.- vdice(a)snet.net 3.- stonecoldcool(a)home.com Fifty thousand new people get on the Internet every month! An excellent source of names is the people who send you other programs and the names listed on the letter they send you. Your contact source is UNLIMITED! It boggles my mind to think of all the possibilities! Mail, or should I say E-mail, your letter and payment TODAY! It's so easy. One hour of your time, THAT'S IT! To send your newsletter by e-mail, copy this ENTIRE PAGE and paste it in the message of your E-Mail TO DO THIS: 1. Go to "edit" and "select all" 2. Go to "edit" and select "copy" 3. Start (compose) a new E-Mail message (make sure it's PLAIN TEXT so everyone can view it!) 4. Fill in your Address and Subject Box 5. Go to "edit" and "paste" (Then you can format it anyway you want!) Now you can edit the addresses with ease. Delete the top name, adding your name and address to the bottom of the list, then simply changing the numbers. Remember, YOUR NAME goes on the BOTTOM and move the other 2 names up. But DO NOT forget to send $5.00 by PayPal (along with your note) to the TOP E-MAIL address before deleting it! NOTE: Be sure to replace the PayPal referring URL in this e-mail of the letter with your own PayPal referring URL. THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO. When your name reaches the first position in a few days, it will be your turn to collect your MONEY! The money will be sent to you by 2,000 to 4,000 people like yourself, who are willing to invest one hour to receive $20,000 in cash! That's all! There will be a total of $20,000 in $5.00 bills in your mailbox (account)in two weeks. $20,000 for one hour's work! This is real money that you can spend on anything you wish! Just deposit it to your own bank account or spend it directly from your PayPal account!!! It's just that! easy!!! I think it's WORTH IT, don't you? GO AHEAD--- TRY IT!!! EVEN IF YOU MAKE JUST 3 OR 4 THOUSAND, WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE? IF YOU TRY IT, IT WILL PAY! CAN YOU DO IT AGAIN? OF COURSE YOU CAN---this plan is structured for everyone to send only 20 letters each. However, you are certainly not limited to 20. Mail out as many as you want. Every 20 letters you send has a return of $20,000 or more. If you can E-MAIL forty, sixty, eighty, or whatever, GO FOR IT! THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT! Each time you run this program, just follow steps 1 through 3 and everyone on your gift list benefits! Simple enough? You bet it is! Besides, there are no mailing lists to buy (and wait for), and trips to the printer or copier, and you can do it again and again with your regular groups or gift givers, or start up a new group. Be SURE and PAY the first person on the list. This is proof that you paid to get put on the list which is the service rendered to make all this legal!!! Why not? It beats working! Each time you receive an MLM offer, respond with this letter! Your name will climb to the number one position at dizzying rates. Follow the simple instructions, and above all, PLEASE PLAY FAIR. That's the key to this program's success. Your name must run the full gamut on the list to produce the end results. Sneaking your name higher up on the list WILL NOT produce the results you think, and it only cheats the other people who have worked hard and have earned the right to be there. So please, play by the rules and the $$$ will come to you! $$$ E-MAIL YOUR LETTERS OUT TODAY! Together we will prosper! GOOD LUCK $$$ You are probably skeptical of this, especially with all the different programs out there on the web, but if you don't try this you will never know. That's the way I felt. I've been watching this type of program for years an! d this is about as easy and fast as you can get it and it can even be free to try now with PayPal, no stamps, no envelopes, no copies to be made - just a little effort and faith!!! This program really "Kept It Short and Simple"! OH BY THE WAY....each time someone signs up with your link under your name... you also make $5.00 from PayPal... so they pay to open up the account but they also pay you when someone signs up from being referred by you. AWESOME! Let's all make some serious money $$$$$$ CLICK HERE TO BEGIN: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home Please just play by the rules, this doesn't cost anything but your time and if everyone plays fair everyone WINS.

(CETA : OTCBB) Cetalon is a great investment opportunity in the natural vitamins, minerals, and supplements industry. The company has a unique relationship with Sears (S), which allows the company to operate within Sears retail stores and enjoy unique locations on Sears' mainstream sales floors. A small float of approx. 1 million shares will surely drive demand for the company's stock. Read below for the complete profile. +>+>+> FINANCIAL DATA: - Shares Outstanding: 5,500,000 - Float (Est): 1,000,000 - 52 week High: $5.00 - 52 week Low: $0.85 - Company Homepage http://www.cetalon.com - Friday's Closing Price $1.48 per share +>+>+> ABOUT CETALON CORPORATION - (CETA : OTCBB) Cetalon is a "Store within a store" retail and direct marketing company specializing in the sale of natural vitamins, minerals, and supplements as well as health information technologies and home health care products.

The Company also has an alliance with Innovative Botanical Solutions, a company with a global reputation for innovative products and superior quality, to supply its private label brand. These factors coupled with Sears' 63 million strong consumer base, with a target market of nearly 50% represented, should bring Sears Health and Nutrition Centers to profitability within a relatively rapid timeframe, as per the following: +>+>+> COST FOCUS * Sears Health & Nutrition Centers has been appointed as the sole Health & Fitness licensee of Sears, Canada & U.S.A. * Sears Corporation will fund all build-outs on behalf of Sears Health & Nutrition Centers * Sears is contracted to sweep each register and close out the daily books of Sears Health & Nutrition Centers.

Also corporate support such as (volume discounts, telephone, postage, advertising expenses) can be leveraged to reduce expenses +>+>+> SUMMARY With Sears' 63 million strong customer base and a booming health and nutrition market - look for Cetalon to add stores and increase sales, revenue and shareholder value.

Reese's Test for the Discrimination of Pigs From Cops (Re: Maine National Guard bars Green Party leader from flying

Any cop who reacts to being called "useless pig" is, in fact, one. And should be removed from positions of authority. Problem with Nat'l Guardsthugs (or any MIL) is they don't have the training of a cop. [Professional] Cops know force gradations, psyops, constitutional law and case history.

Third, you are a hypocrite. >Please re-read what you said about the "cunt" in question. That what she did was dumb and that she brought it on herself? Here is what she said about it all, in her own words, from http://www.wartimeliberty.com/article.pl?sid=01/11/03/1813233 "There was this National Guard guy there. He yells over at me, so everyone can hear, 'Bring your bags over here.' You know how they are when they're all puffed up with themselves. He said, 'Hurry up,' so I slowed down some more. Slowed down some more. "I put my bags on the table. The two women employees were standing there. [I tried to help them with a stuck zipper.] He grabbed my left arm, he started yelling in my face, Interfering with the baggage searchers. I said, 'You can't do that.' He went to grab my arm, and I said, 'Don't touch me.' Lipping off at the security personnel. I saw an older airline guy shake his head, 'No,' and he backed off. The "No" could have meant anything, including she failed the search. "That insulted his little manhood. Her subjective opinion, this interview is filled with it. I heard him say real soft, 'Don't let her on the plane,' like he was talking to himself. We have only her word for this. "Then I go to get on the plane since we're all done and everything, and the American Airlines ticket guy says,' You can't get on the plane.' I say, 'Why not?' ... He says, 'Because this guy says you didn't cooperate with the search.' ... She didn't. "He said, 'Maybe we can get you on the 4:00 plane, He offers. He said, 'Come with me.' I followed very slowly, I sat down for a while. I said I'm carrying these bags; I need a rest... It's called passive resistance. Passive resistance. Resisting. She didn't cooperate with the search or anything else, did she? He went and got six other National Guard guys and they all approached me. Here are these six untrained, ignorant, don't-know-how-to-deal- with-the-public, machine-gun-armed young guys in their camouflage suits with their military gear hanging off of it. "I looked up and started laughing, She laughed. "They had the airport policeman tell me, 'You're not flying out of this airport today.' ... After all the shit, they respond. They wanted to get back at me somehow because I was not a subservient female, because I questioned their manhood. She interprets wrongly, again. "I went to the American Airlines guy and said, 'Is this just today?' He said, 'I don't know.' One clerk said, 'You could drive to Boston [five hours away] and see if you can get out of there.' They still offered to get her to her destination, until she finally pissed them all off. Here is what Wal Sheasby said about it all. Reese <paste> Written by Walt Sheasby on Solidarity List Serv. Who is Walt Sheasby? See, for example: http://www.greeninformation.com/SHEASBYINDEX.htm http://pages.prodigy.net/gmoses/nvusa/gopal.htm http://www.indianagreenparty.org/gmo.mv LEADER OF GREEN SPLINTER GROUP FIBS ABOUT AIRPORT HASSLE In an official press release from its Chicago headquarters, the Greens/Green Party USA, a small splinter group that opposes recognition of the Green Party of the United States as the electoral voice of the movement that ran Ralph Nader for President in 2000, declared that one of its leaders was stopped from boarding a flight after a check turned up her name was on a computer list because the organization opposes the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan. The release said: "Armed government agents grabbed Nancy Oden, Green Party USA coordinating committee member, Thursday at Bangor International Airport in Bangor Maine, as she attempted to board an American Airlines flight to Chicago." "An official told me that my name had been flagged in the computer," a shaken Oden said. "I was targeted because the Green Party USA opposes the bombing of innocent civilians in Afghanistan." The press release was relayed around the nation as a first signal of the reach of the new draconian Patriot Act. But it turns out that Nancy Oden was apparently not barred because of a computer check, but because she did not comply with standard screening for weapons. While who said what is not clear, it appears that her name was not flagged by a computer search of potential terrorists or their supporters, according to a news report in the Bangor Daily News on Nov. 3. http://www.bangornews.com/editorialnews/article.html?ID=44958 While the undue harassment of airline travelers is to be condemned, it does not seem that this incident warrants fears of a major violation of Constitutional guarantees of free speech, as it first appeared. The group that Nancy Oden leads is nevertheless using the incident to draw attention and support to itself. One member of the group's National Council urged: "The first thing to do is to organize a committee, include spokesperson/ spokespersons. Contact civil liberties organizations including the National Lawyers Guild, the ACLU ... Ask organizations to sponsor defense committee- Seek prominent attorney who may need to have a license to practice in Maine- Send releases out every day. Has Ralph Nader been contacted? What about Phil Donahue CONTACT TALK SHOWS. TRY TO GET POLITICIANS TO SUPPORT, Barbara Lee. Organizations in Maine who know Nancy and will back her up." If the incident had taken place as Nancy Oden described it, it would mean that other Green activists and leaders of other anti-war groups would also be on computer lists and barred from flying, which reportedly has not been the case. The exaggeration of her victimization may only serve to discredit opposition to the Bush Administration's attack on civil liberties. It may also further isolate the Green Party USA, which saw a majority of delegates at its July 20 National Convention leave to form a new Green Alliance, which has its first convention in New Orleans January 18-21. </paste>
