There was no reason for meeting at sea save the purely spectacular features which Roosevelt always loved. The dramatic effect of the meeting was very great. It made a thunderous radio story and massive headlines. But, as was so characteristic of Roosevelt, the great declaration of principles was a mere incident of the meeting. The purpose was wholly military. Three weeks after Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt sent for all the representatives in America of these occupied countries and said to them: "Be assured, gentlemen, that the restoration of the countries occupied by Germany and suffering under the Axis yoke is my greatest concern, which is shared in like degree by Mr. Churchill. We promise that all will be done to insure the independence of these countries." Churchill was present. He turned to the Polish Ambassador and said: "We will never forget what glorious Poland has done and is doing nor what heroic Greece and Holland have done in this war. I hope I need not add that Great Britain has set herself the aim of restoring full independence and freedom to the nations that have been overrun by Hitler." These reassurances were to be repeated many times with varying oratorical flourishes. And as for the "Atlantic Charter," which was nothing more than a screen to hide what had actually been done at Placentia Bay, a handsome copy of it was made, bearing the names of Churchill and Roosevelt, and placed on exhibition in the National Museum in Washington, where crowds viewed it with reverence as one of the great documents of history. . On November 27, just ten days before the attack, the President told Secretary Stimson, who wrote it in his diary, that our course was to maneuver the Japanese into attacking us. This would put us into the war and solve his problem. The Board of Economic Warfare was created to control the export of all materials seeking private export and to look after the procurement of all materials essential to the war effort, except arms and munitions. Vice President Wallace was named chairman of the Board of Economic Warfare (BEW). There was an element of "cloak and dagger" in this institution. It was at war with Hitler and Hirohito in the markets of the world. It bought things we needed. But it also bought, where necessary, things we did not need in order to preclude the enemy getting them. This was called "preclusive" buying. It issued thousands of export licenses every day. It was quite a bureau and it bulged with bureaucrats. At the top, next to Wallace, was a somewhat cheaper edition of Wallace YD an authentic New Deal bureaucrat, if there ever was one. He was Milo Perkins, executive director. Perkins was a man with a soul YD one of those souls that keeps making a lot of noise inside his body. He went in for art and music and finally Theosophy. The New Republic said of him that "for nine years at nine every Sunday morning, he donned his priestly robes, took along his sons and acolytes and preached to a congregation of fifty people." By 1943 the BEW had 200 economic commandos in the field fighting Hitler in the market places of the world and around 3,000 in Washington directing their weird operations Although this outfit spent $1,200,000,000, no law ever authorized it, and the Senate never confirmed the appointment of Wallace or Perkins. The President "grabbed the torch" and created it by edict. Of course, a great legion of economic soldiers had to have a chief economist. How they picked him I do not know. But these two great geopolitical warriors YD Wallace and Perkins YD came up with a gentleman named Dr. Maurice Parmalee, born in Constantinople. Parmalee wrote another book labeled "Bolshevism, Fascism and the Liberal Democratic State." In this he renders it feasible to introduce a planned social economy much more rapidly than has been the case in the U.S.S.R. ...The superficial paraphernalia of capitalism can be dispensed with more quickly than in the Soviet Union." But the doctor had strayed into much lighter fields of literature. He had also written a book called "Nudism in Modern Life" which is secluded in the obscene section of the Library of Congress. In it the doctor revealed his interest in a science called Gymnosophy, a cult of the old gymnosophists who it seems were ancient Hindu hermit philosophers who went around with little or no clothing. "these gymnosophist nudist colonies furnish excellent opportunities for experiments along socialist lines ... Customary nudity is impossible under existing undemocratic, social and economic and political organization." A new chief economist was brought in YD Dr. John Bovingdon. Bovingdon was no fool. He went to Harvard and graduated with honors, which is more than Mr. Roosevelt did. But he, too, was one of those free spirits of the wandering winds who had managed to live for a while in the Orient, three years in Europe and England, two years in Russia and for smaller terms in 22 other countries. His Harvard class reunion book said he "engaged in art activities, painting on fabrics, poetry, dancing, acting, consultant on the Moscow Art Theater, oneYDman commercial monodrama programs, weaving, sandalYDmaking" and so on. In 1931 the police in Los Angeles raided a Red pageant for a Lenin Memorial which Bovingdon was staging. The experience shook Mr. Bovingdon terribly and he went to Russia. He got a job in Moscow as a director of the International Theatre. He worked as a journalist in the world of free Russian speech, wrote radio scripts and plays. He decided to return to the United States to make us understand Russia. In January, 1938, he appeared in Long Beach, California, at the town's first "Communist Party celebration on the 14th anniversary of Lenin's death." By what curious movement of the stars did these weird ideological brothers turn up on posts of the greatest importance in the councils of the New Deal? As fast as one was pushed out another moved in. It could not be by chance, since this happened in practically every important bureau. {Can you say 'conspiracy?...sure you can... - sog} These two strange birds were not isolated cases. The UnYDAmerican Activities Committee gave Wallace a list of 35 Communists in the BEW. That information was merely brushed aside with some insulting smear against the Committee. It mattered not what the New Dealer touched, it became a torch to be grabbed, it became an instrument for use in his adventures in social engineering, and after June, 1941 when Hitler turned on his partner Stalin, these bureaus became roosting places for droves of Communist termites who utilized their positions as far as they dared to advance the interests of Soviet Russia and to help "dispense with the superficial paraphernalia of capitalism" in this country under cover of the war. By no means a basically bad person, he was congenitally incapable of resisting the destructive personal effects of power. *** sog *** >From the four corners of the land, as well as from the pink and Red purlieus of New ork and Chicago and every big city, came the molders of the Brave New World. *** sog *** They put their busy fingers into everything. They dictated women's styles, the shapes of women's stockings; they told butchers how to carve a roast; they limited the length of Santa Claus' whiskers in department stores. At one time there was an almost complete breakdown of food distribution throughout the United States. The paper work required of an ordinary small merchant was so extensive that it was practically impossible to comply with. These rules and regulations became so irksome that people ignored them. Then the OPA set up a nationwide network of courts before which citizens could be hauled up and tried for breaking laws enacted by OPA bureaucrats. If convicted, they could, under OPA rulings, have their ration cards taken away from them YD sentenced to starve. One may talk about the profits of war, but there were in truth little profits for honest men because the government YD and rightly YD during the war drained away in drastic taxes most of the profits. In the financing and supervision of the war effort from Washington practically every fiscal crime was committed. And the plain evidence of that is before us in the bill for the war. Few realize how vast it was. For the mind, even of the trained financier, begins to lose its capacity for proportion after the figures pass beyond the limit of understandable billions. The war cost I reckon at 363 billion dollars. Chapter Eight - The Thought Police 1. If there is one department of human struggle which the radical revolutionist understands and loves it is the war that is waged on the mass mind; the war that is carried on with poisons distilled in the mind to produce bias and hatred. It would be strange indeed if we did not find some of the practitioners of this dark art from New ork and some of the offYDscourings of Europe's battered revolutionary emigres numerously entrenched in that thoroughly unYDAmerican institution during the war which was known as the OWI YD the Office of War Information. It began with a thing called the Office of Facts and Figures. a drove of writers and journalists whose souls were enlisted in the great crusade to bring on the Brave New World of the Future. It was in fact an agency for selling Roosevelt's Third New Deal and Roosevelt himself to the people under the guise of "maintaining public morale" and conducting "psychological warfare." , OWI spent $68,000,000 and had 5,561 agents scattered all over the world. But OWI had other tasks than selling America to the Arabs. It was also busy selling Russia to the Americans. The chief of the Foreign Language Section of OWI was a young gentleman 28 years old who had spent his entire life on New ork's East Side, who spoke no foreign language and yet had the decision on whether news should be released to Europe or not. Anybody who disagreed with his high admiration for our Soviet ally was labeled a fascist. There was another child wonder YD 23 years old YD who was the Russian expert of the OWI and who saw to it that nothing went out that was displeasing to the objectives of our noble ally YD including grabbing ugoslavia. OWI's broadcasts to Poland ended not with the Polish national anthem but with a song adopted by the Polish emigres in Moscow who were known as Stalin's "Committee of Liberation." The expert in charge of the Polish section was actually born in Poland, but left there and spent the rest of his life in France where he was notorious as a Communist. He fraternized with the Vichy government while Hitler and Stalin were pals, but when Hitler invaded Russia he came to America and quickly became OWI's expert in explaining American democracy to the people of Poland.51 The deputy director of the Pacific and Far Eastern Area was a British subject until he got a government job in Washington in 1942. While running this important bureau for OWI, he wrote a play which was produced at Hunter College. Burton Rascoe, reviewing it, said: "Its most conspicuous purpose is to idealize the Red Army in China, to defame the Chungking government under Chiang KaiYDshek and to ridicule the political, social and educational ideas of the vast majority of the American people."52 The men, material, cable and wireless time used up by OWI were immense. It ran 350 daily radio programs and had a daily cableYDwireless output of 100,000 words. It was the world's largest pamphlet and magazine publisher and a big movie producer, sending shorts to every country in the world. It sent out 3,500 transcribed recordings a month and turned out 50 movie shorts a year. The content of most of this material was pure drivel. All of this work was not just naive. OWI printed 2,500,000 pamphlets called "The Negro in the War,"54 with pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt, the Negroes' friends, in preparation for the fourthYDterm campaign. It printed a handsome volume called "Handbook of the United States"55 and gave a British firm the right to publish it. This gave a history of America, with the story from Leif Ericson's discovery up to 1932 in four and oneYDhalf pages. The rest of the history was devoted to Roosevelt and his New Deal. This was in 1944 and a national election was coming and England was jammed with American soldiers who could vote. It had a department that supplied the pulp paper magazines with direction and suggestions on how to slant mystery and love stories. Western story writers were told how to emphasize the heroism of our allies YD you know which one. Writers were told to cast their soap operas with silent, dogged Britons, faithful Chinese and honest Latins. They must portray Japanese as having set out to seize our Western seaboard and the sly and treacherous characteristics of the Jap must be contrasted with the faithfulness of the Chinese. They suggested that Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu be turned into a Jap instead of a Chinese. When the war began the government, recognizing the need for protecting our military operations from leaks through careless or uninformed press reporting, organized the Office of Censorship headed by Byron Price, an able official of the Associated Press. To this bureau was given the power to monitor all communications. It set up a censorship organization which all publishers and broadcasters voluntarily cooperated with. It worked admirably and Mr. Price won the unstinted approval of the press for his capable and tactful, yet firm, handling of this difficult problem. No other government agency had any authority whatever to engage in this activity. And it was never intended that anybody should have the power to attempt to interfere with the rights of citizens to discuss with freedom all political questions, subject only to the obligation not to divulge information that would aid the enemy or defeat our military operations. Nevertheless, the OWI and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took upon themselves the power to carry on the most extensive propaganda among, and the most dangerous interference with, the foreignYDlanguage broadcasting stations. Of course the ordinary American official was hardly aware of the opportunities this kind of thing gave to those who had political or ideological axes to grind. It was important to see that nothing subversive and nothing that would adversely affect the war effort was used. And for this purpose the Office of Censorship was admirably equipped and managed. But the FCC decided that it would take a hand, not merely in monitoring the stations but in literally directing and controlling them. The OWI similarly arrived at the same conclusion. It also set up a division for dealing with the problems of the foreignYDborn through radio. Mr. Eugene L. Garey, chief counsel of the Congressional Select Committee Investigating the FCC, speaking of these conditions said: "From the record thus far made it appears that, in one foreign language broadcasting station in New ork City, the program director, the announcer, the script writer, the censor, and the monitor of the ItalianYDlanguage programs are all aliens or persons owing their positions to the Office of War Information, with the approval of the FCC. "The situation thus portrayed is not peculiar to this single station, or to this one city. Information in our possession indicates that the same situation prevails generally in the foreign language stations throughout the country. Every such key position in each of the three radio stations presently under investigation are found to be similarly staffed. These staffs select the news, edit the script, and announce the program. The program, in turn, is censored by them, monitored by them, and is presented under the direction of a program director of similar character. "From these apparently unrelated facts the picture must be further developed. "OWI had the men and the material. It had the proper dye to color the news. It also had the desire to select and censor the news. What it lacked was the power, or perhaps more accurately stated, even the color of power, to carry their designs into effect. Hence the need to enlist the Federal Communications Commission in its purpose. "True it is that the Federal Communications Commission had no such lawful power, but the Federal Communications Commission did have the power to license and hence the power to compel obedience to its directions. The record now shows their unlawful use of this power. "Working together in a common purpose, the Federal Communications Commission and the Office of War Information have accomplished a result that compels pause YD and presents the solemn question of 'Whither are we going?' "A division called the War Problems Division was created by the Federal Communications Commission, and a staff of attorneys began to function. "This division was not a regulatory body. It was not formed to instruct, or supervise, or to correct. It was formed for the avowed purpose of unlawfully liquidating all of the radio personnel in the foreignYDlanguage field that did not meet with its favor. A real gestapo was created and a lawless enterprise was launched. "It is suggested that we accept this unlawful situation as a benevolent expedient of the moment, but no such purpose as we find here disclosed, however benevolently cloaked, can justify the practices we find. All tyranny begins under the guise of benevolence. "The voices of these aliens go into our homes, and the unwary are led to believe that they speak with authority and official approval. They even censor our Christmas and Easter religious programs, and tell us what music we may hear. The FCC is alarmed about whether we will react properly to news furnished by our national news agencies. Apparently we can still read the news in our press, but we can only hear what these aliens permit us to. What next medium of communications will receive the benevolent attention of these misguided zealots? Obviously, the press. "These interpreters of our national policy YD these slanters of our news YD these destroyers of free speech YD are alien in birth, alien in education, alien in training and in thought. "And still these are the people who are permitted to mold our thoughts YD to tell us what America's war aims and purposes are. These people are in position to color, to delete, or to slant, as they see fit, in accordance with their own peculiar alien views and ideologies. "Persons are being accused of being proYDfascist, and that without proof and without trial. Persons suspected of being proYDfascist, and without proof, have been removed from the air and replaced by wearers of the Black Shirt ... "If the radio can thus be controlled in August, 1943, there is nothing to prevent the same control from slanting our political news and nothing to prevent the coloring of our war aims and purposes when peace comes."57 In the presence of a government which had enlarged its power over the lives and the thoughts and opinions of citizens and which did not hesitate to use that power, the whole citizenry was intimidated. Editors, writers, commentators were intimidated. Men whose opinions did not conform to the reigning philosophy were driven from the air, from magazines and newspapers. While American citizens who were moved by a deep and unselfish devotion to the ideals of this Republic YD however wrongYDheaded that may be in the light of the new modes of "freedom" YD were forced into silence, the most blatant and disruptive revolutionary lovers of the systems of both fascism and Communism and that illegitimate offspring of both YD Red fascism YD were lording it over our minds. All this was possible for one reason and one reason only YD because the President of the United States countenanced these things, encouraged them and in many cases sponsored them, not because he was a Communist or fascist or held definitely to any political system, but because at the moment they contributed to his own ambitions. When a nation is at war, its leaders are compelled by the necessities of practical administration to use every means at hand to sell the war to the people who must fight it and pay for it. As part of that job it is usual to include the leader himself in the package. He is therefore portrayed in heroic proportions and colors in order to command for his leadership the fullest measure of unity. War, as we have seen, puts into the hands of a leader control over the instruments of propaganda and opinion on an everYDincreasing scale. In our day the press, the radio, the movies, even the schoolroom and the pulpit are mobilized to justify the war, to magnify the leader and to intimidate his critics. The citizen who is hardy enough to question the official version of the leader and his policies may find himself labeled as a public enemy or even as a traitor. Hence as the war proceeds, amidst all the trappings which the art of theater can contribute, it is possible to build up a vast fraud, with an everYDmounting torrent of false news, false pictures, false eulogies and false history. After every war many years are required to reduce its great figures to their just proportions and to bring the whole pretentious legend back into focus with truth. the public was treated to the royal spectacles off the coast of Newfoundland aboard the Augusta, at Quebec, Casablanca, Moscow, Cairo, Teheran and finally at alta. Eloquent communiques pretended to inform the people of what had been agreed on. We now know that these communiques told us little of what had happened; that the whole story lay, for long, behind a great curtain of secrecy; that much YD though not all YD has now been painfully brought to light and that what stands revealed is a story very different from that heroic chronicle of triumphs with which we were regaled at the time. As Roosevelt saw it, Stalin was his great target. He began by completely deceiving himself about Stalin. First of all, he decided he must cultivate Stalin's good will and to do this he convinced himself he must sell Stalin to our people. Accordingly the instruments of propaganda which he could influence YD the radio and the movies and to a considerable degree, the press YD were set to work upon the great task. Under the influence of this benevolent atmosphere the Reds in New ork and their compliant dupes, the fellowYDtravelers, swarmed into Washington and presently were sitting in positions of power or influence in the policyYDmaking sections of the government. Joe Davies had been induced to go to Moscow, wrote his notorious "Mission to Moscow," a jumble of obvious fictions which were later transferred to the screen several times exaggerated and shot into millions of minds in movie houses. We know now from the election returns of 1944 that the Reds had in their hands enough support to have turned the tide against Roosevelt. In New ork State, for instance, Roosevelt won its 47 electoral votes by a majority of 317,000. But he got 825,000 votes from the Red American Labor Party dominated by the Communists, which had also nominated him, and the American Liberal Party made up of the pinks, which also nominated him. Without these votes he would have lost the state. He dared not defy these two powerful groups. On the other hand, he was in a very deep hole with the votes of the Polish, Lithuanian, Serbian and other Baltic and Balkan peoples living in America who were citizens. He had betrayed the Poles, the Serbs and the Baltic peoples. But he had managed to keep it dark. Somehow he must avoid any publication of the truth until after the election. They made a decision at Quebec which has up to this moment paralyzed utterly the making of a stable peace in Europe and is pregnant with consequences so terrible for the future that the mind draws away from them in consternation. Secretary Hull said: "This was a plan of blind vengeance ... It failed to see that in striking at Germany it was striking at all Europe." The proposals "that the mines be ruined was almost breathtaking in its implications for all Europe." Beyond all this, of course, was our dignity as a civilized people. The barbarians could sweep into enemy countries and ravage their fields, burn their cities and murder their leaders. This is a job from which a civilized people must recoil if they have not lost their souls. Roosevelt agreed to the Morgenthau Plan to destroy German industry and to reduce Germany to a country primarily agricultural and pastoral. Secretaries Hull and Stimson did not know anything about it until four days after it was done. e the contents of the Morgenthau Plan leaked to the papers and Roosevelt became alarmed at the violence of the reaction, a fine evidence of the fundamentally decent nature of the majority of Americans. In the end the President was persuaded to get out of this appalling agreement so far as destroying the mines of the Ruhr were concerned. But Stimson declares "the same attitude remained," and the whole world now knows of the frightful wreckage that was carried on in Germany and the blow to the economy of all Europe that was delivered in the name of "blind vengeance" and immortal hatred. The administration was now the hopeless prisoner of these demanding and ruthless radical labor leaders, who had shown their ability to elect or defeat the Democratic party, who had filled all the departments and bureaus with their agents and who had insinuated their experts into the CIO labor unions and their propagandists into the radio, the movies and all the great instruments of communication and opinion YD a fact which Mr. Roosevelt's successors would have to face when the war ended. What had become of the Atlantic Charter? On December 20, 1944, the President at a press conference was asked about the Charter which he and Churchill had signed. His reply literally bowled over the correspondents. There was not and never had been a complete Atlantic Charter signed by him and Churchill, he replied. Then where is the Charter now, he was asked. He replied: "There wasn't any copy of the Atlantic Charter so far as I know." It was just a press release. It was scribbled on a piece of paper by him and Churchill and Sumner Welles and Sir Alexander Cadogan. It was just handed to the radio operator aboard the British and American warships to put on the air as a news release. Further inquiry revealed that Stephen Early had handed it out on his own with the signatures of Churchill and Roosevelt attached. And over on the wall of the National Museum in Washington, beautifully framed and illuminated after the manner of an ancient document YD like Magna Carta or the Declaration of Independence YD was the great Atlantic Charter itself, with the signatures of Roosevelt and Churchill. Daily visitors stood before it as before some great historic document. John O'Donnell, of the New ork Daily News, asked the curator where he got it. He answered that it came from the Office of War Information. They had "loaned" the precious document to the National Museum. By inquiry at the OWI YD that prolific fountain of phony news YD O'Donnell learned that OWI had gotten it up and affixed the names of Roosevelt and Churchill. They had printed 240,000 copies of it. O'Donnell went back to the Museum with this information. And lo! the great Charter was gone. An attendant told him it had been ordered off the wall twenty minutes before. Thus ended the story of this wretched fraud. The fake document which was never signed and was nothing more than a publicity stunt to conceal the real purposes of the Atlantic meeting had been slain by its chief sponsor and, of course, all its highYDsounding professions, after Teheran, had become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. On January 20, 1945, Roosevelt was sworn in as President of the United States for a fourth term. Three days later he left Norfolk on the heavy cruiser Quincy for what was to be his last act in the hapless drama of peace.

The Polish question was "settled." The formal proposal to hand over eastern Poland YD east of the Curzon line YD was made by Roosevelt himself.102 As to western Poland, Stalin already had a government there named by him and composed of Communists representing no one but Stalin himself. Russia wanted the amount to be 20 billion dollars of which she would take half. It was agreed that labor might be taken as a possible source of reparations. This was just a diplomatic way of authorizing the seizure of human beings to work as slaves after the war ended and is the basis of that dreadful crime perpetrated after hostilities ceased to which the President of the United States agreed. As the conference ended, Roosevelt remained an extra day because Stalin wanted to talk with him. He did so alone. What he wanted settled was "the political aspects of Russia's participation" in the Pacific. This he was able to do very quickly and to his complete satisfaction. In return for Russian participation in the Pacific, Roosevelt agreed that the Kuriles Islands would be handed to Russia, who would also get Sakhalin Island, internationalization of the Port of Darien, the lease of Port Arthur as a naval base and joint operation with China of the Eastern and Southern Manchurian railroads. And Roosevelt promised to use his influence with Chiang to force him to agree. This secret agreement, like the one supporting the use of slave labor, was not made public and was concealed even from Byrnes who was Roosevelt's adviser at alta. He did not hear of it until after Mr. Roosevelt's death. Then he saw a reference to it in a Russian dispatch. By that time he was Secretary of State. He asked President Truman to have the White House records searched for this and any other secret outstanding I.O.U.'s.105 He did suggest that to avoid criticism at home the United States be given three votes too. And Stalin agreed. When Byrnes got back to the United States he found a note from Roosevelt instructing him not to discuss this agreement even in private. Later Roosevelt decided not to ask for the three votes for the United States. Byrnes says he never discovered the reason.106 On the way home General Watson, his military secretary, died suddenly of heart disease. Roosevelt reached Washington the end of February. On March 1 he appeared before a joint session of Congress. He told the Congress that "more than ever before the major allies are closely united," that "the ideal of lasting peace will become a reality." There was no hint that the surrender which was now formally announced with respect to eastern Poland was in fact a major defeat. The disappearance of the Baltic states and practically all the Balkans behind Stalin's iron curtain was not announced in any other terms than as a great forward step in the liberation of Europe. As for western Poland, there were heavy overtones of guilt and frustration unintentionally evident. In two months Roosevelt was dead. Truman became President. Shortly after, in May, the German Army surrendered. The fighting was in the West was over. "Silent, mournful, broken Czechoslovakia recedes into the darkness. She has suffered in every respect by her association with the Western democracies." Chamberlain appeased Hitler and averted war. Churchill got for England both a war and appeasement. Stalin had merely to sit tight, to make known his wishes and Roosevelt laid them in his lap with eager compliance in the notion that he could thus soften Stalin. It is all the more incredible when we remember that the things he was laying in Stalin's lap were the existence of little nations and the rights of little peoples we had sworn to defend. And when Truman and Byrnes went to Potsdam what confronted them was an appalling mess. Roosevelt not only made agreements secret from the people but secret from his closest advisers in the government. He made agreements with Stalin hostile to the objectives of Churchill and kept secret from Churchill. He made secret agreements with Chiang KaiYDshek, secret from both Churchill and Stalin, and secret agreements in derogation of Chiang KaiYDshek's interests without his knowledge. And he made many secret agreements which no one in our State Department knew about until his death and then learned about them the hard way, by having them flung in their faces at embarrassing moments by Molotov. At the end of all this, Russia held in her hands a vast belt of land running from the Baltic sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south, comprising eleven nations with a population of 100 million people. These she held, not as parts of the Soviet Union, but as puppet states, presided over by Red Quislings of Stalin's own selection who represented him and not the people they governed, any more than Quisling represented the people of Norway. The truth is that Roosevelt was a dying man when he was elected, that many of those around him knew it, that the most elaborate care was exercised to conceal the fact from the people and that the misgivings of those who observed it were justified by events, since he died less than three months after his fourth inauguration. The progress of that illness and the means employed to deceive the people must be examined. Rear Admiral Ross T. McIntire, his official physician, felt called upon to put in a book his formal apologia. He was a naval officer employed by the people to watch over the President's health and these statements had the effect of deceiving the employers of the President and of the Admiral YD namely the people. What disease Roosevelt suffered from at Hyde Park and later, that produced such grave consequences, we do not know save upon the statements of Dr. McIntire. Many other doctors were called in to examine the patient, but none of these men has ever made any statements. However, while the illness seemingly began at Hyde Park after the return from Teheran, there is at least some evidence that he was far from sound before that time. Three men have written about the trip to Cairo and Teheran YD Dr. McIntire, Mike Reilly, chief of the President's Secret Service guard, and Elliott Roosevelt. The President went to Cairo by sea. But he wanted to fly from there to Teheran. Reilly tells us that Admiral McIntire "did not want to submit some of the members of the party to the rigors of high altitude flight" but that "the President was not one of these members."112 And McIntire volunteers the information that Roosevelt suffered no discomfort on high altitude flights and had shown no signs of anoxemia when flying at altitudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet.113 ou might suppose from this Roosevelt was quite a flier. et he had never been in a plane since he flew to Chicago for his first acceptance speech 11 years before until he made the trip to Casablanca YD his only flight while President before Teheran. However, Elliott Roosevelt in his book defeats these yarns. He tells how McIntire was worried about Father's projected flight. "I'm serious, Elliott," says McIntire. "I think he could fly only as far as Basra and then go on by train." Elliott wanted to know what height his father might fly, to which McIntire replied: "Nothing over 7500 feet YD and that's tops."114 Elliott talked to the President's proposed pilot, Major Otis Bryan who, with Mike Reilly, made an inspection flight from Teheran to Basra and back and reported that the trip could be made without going higher than 7000 feet, which, says Elliott, "pleased Father very much."115 Thus McIntire and Reilly are both caught redYDhanded misleading their readers. This was before Teheran. Elliott talked to the President's proposed pilot, Major Otis Bryan who, with Mike Reilly, made an inspection flight from Teheran to Basra and back and reported that the trip could be made without going higher than 7000 feet, which, says Elliott, "pleased Father very much."115 Thus McIntire and Reilly are both caught redYDhanded misleading their readers. This was before Teheran. Whatever malady struck Roosevelt down at Hyde Park in December and kept him pretty much out of circulation until nearly the middle of May, 1944, we know that McIntire at that time caused a heart specialist from Boston to be inducted into the service to remain continuously at Roosevelt's side and that this heart specialist, Dr. Howard Bruenn, said a year later at Warm Springs that he "never let Roosevelt out of his sight," which is a most unusual performance in the case of a patient whose "stout heart never failed him," as Dr. McIntire puts it A great mystery surrounded this illness. . He was dying slowly at first, rapidly later. And at his side as his chief adviser was another dying man YD Harry Hopkins. Hopkins had had a portion of his stomach removed for ulcers and what was known as a gastroYDenterotomy performed. After this his liver troubled him and the gall bladder failed to supply satisfactorily the essential bile necessary to digestion. These two dying men, floating slowly out of life, were deliberately put into power through a fourthYDterm election by a carefully arranged deception practiced upon the American people and upon some, at least, of the party leaders. Here was a crime committed against a great nation which had made tremendous sacrifices and against the peace and security of the world in a moment of the gravest danger. History will pronounce its verdict upon all who were guilty. Dr. McIntire was immediately notified of the stroke in Washington and he, Mrs. Roosevelt and Steve Early left at once by plane for Warm Springs, arriving there at 11 P.M. They immediately decided to have no autopsy. The body was consigned to its coffin and orders issued not to open it. It was taken from Warm Springs next morning at 9 o'clock. It reached Washington next day YD the 14th YD and after lying for a few hours without ever being opened was taken that night to Hyde Park for interment next day. It has been the custom in the past for the remains of deceased Presidents to lie in state in the Capitol. This was not done. Present in the cottage when the President was stricken were the artist, Mrs. Schoumantoff, who was painting his portrait, his two cousins, his valet and several others. The artist, a Russian, was ordered to leave at once. She took a train without delay and was not located until two days later at Locust Valley, L.I. At St. Helena the British government provided its illustrious prisoner, Napoleon I, with a physician. He was Dr. Francesco Antomarchi, a Corsican, who however, did not seem particularly fond of his fallen countryman and who failed signally to win Napoleon's confidence. Dr. Antomarchi persisted to the end in the belief that his royal patient was not seriously ill. Napoleon convinced himself that his physician did not know what he was doing and that the medicines he was prescribing were actually injuring him. Napoleon watched his chance and when the doctor's back was turned, handed the mixture just prepared for him to an aide who swallowed it and was immediately taken with a violent internal disturbance. The Emperor denounced Antomarchi as an assassin. Dr. MacLaurin,126 who has written interestingly of this case, observes that from the symptoms now known to be present and even in the then state of medical knowledge at that period, the veriest blockhead would have known that the Emperor was seriously ill. Napoleon died shortly after the incident described above of cancer of the stomach. In this case, instead of passing up the autopsy, Antomarchi performed one himself in order to prove that there were no symptoms present to inform him of the presence of cancer and he wrote a book upon the subject. He did not restore our economic system to vitality. He changed it. The system he blundered us into is more like the managed and bureaucratized, stateYDsupported system of Germany before World War I than our own traditional order. Before his regime we lived in a system which depended for its expansion upon private investment in private enterprise. Today we live in a system which depends for its expansion and vitality upon the government. This is a preYDwar European importation YD imported at the moment when it had fallen into complete disintegration in Europe. In America today every fourth person depends for his livelihood upon employment either directly by the government or indirectly in some industry supported by government funds. In this substituted system the government confiscates by taxes or borrowings the savings of all the citizens and invests them in nonYDwealthYDproducing enterprises in order to create work. Behold the picture of American economy today: taxes which confiscate the savings of every citizen, a public debt of 250 billion dollars as against a preYDRoosevelt debt of 19 billions, a government budget of 40 billions instead of four before Roosevelt, inflation doubling the prices and reducing the lowerYDbracket employed workers to a state of pauperism as bad as that of the unemployed in the depression, more people on various kinds of government relief than when we had 11 million unemployed, Americans trapped in the economic disasters and the political quarrels of every nation on earth and a system of permanent militarism closely resembling that we beheld with horror in Europe for decades, bureaucrats swarming over every field of life and the President calling for more power, more priceYDfixing, more regulations and more billions. Does this look like the traditional American scene? Or does it not look rather like the system built by Bismarck in Germany in the last century and imitated by all the lesser Bismarcks in Europe? He changed our political system with two weapons YD blankYDcheck congressional appropriations and blankYDcheck congressional legislation. In 1933, Congress abdicated much of its power when it put billions into his hands by a blanket appropriation to be spent at his sweet will and when it passed general laws, leaving it to him, through great government bureaus of his appointment, to fill in the details of legislation He used it to break down the power of Congress and concentrate it in the hands of the executive. The end of these two betrayals YD the smashing of our economic system and the twisting of our political system YD can only be the Planned Economic State, which, either in the form of Communism or Fascism, dominates the entire continent of Europe today. The capitalist system cannot live under these conditions. The capitalist system cannot survive a Planned Economy. Such an economy can be managed only by a dictatorial government capable of enforcing the directives it issues. The only result of our present system YD unless we reverse the drift YD must be the gradual extension of the fascist sector and the gradual disappearance of the system of free enterprise under a free representative government. how has it advanced the cause of democracy? We liberated Europe from Hitler and turned it over to the mercies of a far more terrible tyrant and actually tried to sell him to the people as a savior of civilization. Behold Europe! Does one refer to the wreckage there as liberation and salvation? Is anyone so naive as to suppose that democracy and free capitalism have been restored in Europe? Fascism has departed from Germany, but a hybrid system of socialism and capitalism in chains has come to England, which is called social democracy but is on its way to Fascism with all the controls without which such a system cannot exist. And in America the price of the war is that fatal deformity of our own economic and political system which Roosevelt effected under the impact of the war necessities. The war rescued him and he seized upon it like a drowning man. By leading his country into the fringes of the war at first and then deep into its center all over the world he was able to do the only things that could save him YD spend incomprehensible billions, whip up spending in the hot flames of war hysteria, put every man and his wife and grandparents into the war mills, while under the pressure of patriotic inhibitions, he could silence criticism and work up the illusion of the war leader. Look up the promises he made, not to our own people, but to the Chinese, to Poland, to Czechoslovakia, to the Baltic peoples in Lithuania and Latvia and Estonia, to the Jews out of one side of his mouth and to the Arabs out of the other side. He broke every promise. The figure of Roosevelt exhibited before the eyes of our people is a fiction. There was no such being as that noble, selfless, hardYDheaded, wise and farseeing combination of philosopher, philanthropist and warrior which has been fabricated out of pure propaganda and which a small collection of dangerous cliques in this country are using to advance their own evil ends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In June the longYDawaited invasion of the continent was launched. With this we will not concern ourselves. The other subject that occupied Roosevelt's mind was his plan to have himself renominated for a fourth time. The President had lost his head, at least a little. Congress was slipping away from him. A growing section of his party, particularly in the Senate, was moving out of that collection of incongruous elements called the Third New Deal. It was crawling with Reds and their gullible allies who got themselves into key positions in all the bureaus and were talking with great assurance about what they were going to do with America and the world. The Communists had all become antiYDfascists and everybody who was against the Communists was, therefore, a fascist. A group of organizations financed by undisclosed benefactors was riding roughshod through the country smearing everybody who questioned the grandiose plans of the Great Leader for remaking America and the world. Nobody was getting a hotter dose of this smearing than the American Congress. The radio and the frightened press and magazines kept up a barrage against the members of the President's own party in both houses. It was a Democratic bill and the blast that exploded in his face brought him up with a jerk. In the upper house, Senator Barkley, Democratic leader, Roosevelt's own representative there, rose to upbraid him. He said the message was "a calculated and deliberate assault upon the legislative integrity of every member of Congress." He cried: "I do not propose to take it lying down," as Democratic and Republican senators united in a roar of applause. He ended his philippic with an announcement that made headlines in every paper in the country. He declared that after seven years of carrying the New Deal banner for the President, he now resigned his post as Democratic majority leader and he called on every member of the Congress to preserve its selfYDrespect and override the veto. The Senate overrode it 72 to 14 and the House 299 to 95. It brought Roosevelt tumbling off his high horse. He sent Steve Early running to Barkley's home that very night to beg him not to quit. Barkley yielded. McIntire was a naval doctor in 1932 and was recommended to Roosevelt as White House physician by Admiral Grayson. McIntire was an eye, ear and nose specialist. He got along famously with Roosevelt, was elevated by him to the grade of admiral and made head of the Naval Hospital Service. Thus once again the problem of disease entangled itself in the making of history. It had happened after the First World War when the President was stricken by a brain hemorrhage that paralyzed his body and impaired his mind and, worse than this, disturbed his normal mental balance. What might have been the course of history had Woodrow Wilson's mental and physical powers survived must be a matter of speculation. We have seen how the Communist party had successfully penetrated the unions organized by the Congress of Industrial Organizations YD the CIO YD and how John L. Lewis and David Dubinsky had got out of it for this reason, leaving Sidney Hillman in complete control. We have also seen how the war brought Hillman to the top in White House circles when he and William Knudsen became the directors of the economic war effort. Knudsen departed in good time, but Hillman remained close to the White House. . By 1943, Earl Browder, Communist leader, had about completed the discovery that there was no hope for a proletarian revolution in America. The party got nowhere preaching Communism. The people just wouldn't listen. But it learned that it could getyYYY !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmno pqrstuvwxyz{}yYYY~Y~ very far by using a different technique. After all, Communist revolutionaries know that before they can introduce Communism they must destroy the political and economic system of the country in which they conspire. t fascism YD the Planned Capitalist Economy YD is merely a decadent phase of capitalism. For this reason the Communist party had been promoting with great success RedYDfront organizations and inducing the most important people, like Mrs. Roosevelt, Henry Wallace and scores of prominent leaders in education and public life, to work with them. As 1944 opened, Browder decided to liquidate the Communist party. It would go out of politics. It would become a mere educational association. This was done, and Browder and Sidney Hillman teamed up to capture the American Labor Party. This had been formed originally in New ork City to provide a political vehicle for Fiorello LaGuardia in his local politics. It had all sorts of people in it. There were a lot of Reds, a lot of socialists and a lot of parlor and campus pinks of all sorts, plus a lot of social reformers and welfare reformers. It had corralled a lot of votes YD enough to swing an election in New ork State YD by giving or withholding its vote from the Democrats. It supported Lehman in 1940 and elected him on the Democratic ticket. It refused to endorse the Democratic candidate, Bennett, for governor in 1942 and the Democratic vote, without it, was insufficient and thus Dewey became governor. Now Browder and Hillman joined forces and decided to take over the American Labor Party. They met resistance from the mixed collection of pinks who had control, but in a bitter battle Browder and Hillman took it over. Actually Browder dominated this team because it was Communist votes that did the trick. In addition to this, Hillman had organized in 1943 a new political labor group called the CIO Political Action Committee. The CIO had violated the law by supporting candidates in various primary elections and to get around this Hillman formed this Political Action Committee and pressure was put on members of CIO unions to compel them to join. This organization was now being used as a club in the Democratic party to bludgeon Democratic congressmen and officials generally to play ball with Hillman, Wallace and their crowd, while Hillman and Browder did business as a team in New ork State in the newly reYDformed Communist American Labor Party. The Democratic party could win if it could carry the Southern states and in addition New ork, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey. These states could be carried with the support of Sidney Hillman's Political Action Committee and Browder's American Labor Party, but not without them and Roosevelt was the only possible candidate who could get this support. The Democrats had to nominate Roosevelt or lose the election. There were some Democrats who thought it was better to lose the election, but not enough of them. Accordingly when the convention assembled in Chicago on July 19, Sidney Hillman was there, not as a delegate YD he was not even a member of the party YD but to see that the subservient Democrats behaved to his satisfaction and to the satisfaction of his friend and partner, Browder. To this pass had Roosevelt's personal political ambitions brought the Democratic party of Jefferson, Cleveland and Wilson. Hillman had a headquarters there. He wasn't worried about Roosevelt's nomination. That was settled. He wasn't worried about the platform. That was written to his satisfaction before the convention assembled by Sam Rosenman. He had one more demand. He wanted Henry Wallace nominated again for Vice President. Harry Hopkins and Henry Wallace and, of course, Sidney Hillman knew. They knew that Roosevelt was doomed and that if they could name Henry Wallace Vice President this time, the government would be in their hands. But Chicago had a visitor about whom nothing was known until later. On the evening of July 14, Roosevelt left Washington with great secrecy on a special train. It reached Chicago on Saturday the 15th. That same day, Robert E. Hannegan, Democratic national chairman, got to Chicago. Reporters awaited him at the station. But he slipped out through a rear door of his train and into Mayor Kelly's policeYDescorted automobile and vanished. Reporters frantically hunted him all over town. He remained out of sight until the next day. But in the meantime he had made a visit to Roosevelt's train, secretly parked on a remote railroad siding. There poor Wallace's goose was cooked. Hannegan, too, got a letter. It said the President would be happy to have either Harry Truman or William Douglas as his running mate. And as Hannegan was leaving the train, Roosevelt warned him "to clear everything with Sidney." The Presidential approval of Truman was no good until Sidney O.K.'d it Truman was nominated with 1100 votes to only 66 for Wallace. But not until Sidney Hillman had approved the change. His first speech was not made until September 24 to a dinner given by the International Teamsters' Union dominated by Daniel Tobin YD an AFL union. Its purpose was to put some emphasis on the support of the AFL in view of the bitter feeling among AFL leaders because of the dominant role Sidney Hillman's CIO was playing in Roosevelt's councils and particularly in its favored position before Roosevelt's Labor Board ~~~~~~~~~ Secret Service Page- The first occurred on February 1, 1933, in Miami, Florida Giuseppe Zangara fired five shots a President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was making an impromptu speech while sitting in an open car that had stopped momentarily. Although none of the shots hit President Roosevelt, Zangara mortally wounded Anton Cermak, the Mayor of Chicago, and hit four other people, including a Secret Service agent. On February 15, 1933, Zangara attended a speech given by Roosevelt at Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida. When Roosevelt had finished his talk and was preparing to leave, Zangara pulled out a pistol and opened fire. A bystander deflected the assassin's aim by pushing his arm into the air. Zangara wounded five people who had been near the president-elect, two of them seriously. Most critically injured was Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, who was struck by the bullet in the chest which then lodged in his spine. Zangara was immediately charged with four counts of attempted murder. He was not charged initially with the wounding of Cermak, as authorities waited to see if the mayor's wounds would prove fatal. The State charged Zangara for attempting to murder Franklin Roosevelt, Russell Caldwell, Margaret Kruise, and William Sinnott. Zangara was found guilty on each count and sentenced to four consecutive twenty year terms. On March 6, Mayor Cermak died from complications stemming from the shooting. The same day Zangara was indicted by a grand jury and charged with first degree murder in the death of Cermak. His trial began on March 9 and ended on March 11 with a guilty verdict and a death sentence. The prisoner was transported to the Florida State Prison at Raiford, where he was executed on March 20, 1933. The parade car moved slowly down the street as President-elect Roosevelt and Mayor Cermak smiled and waved. The car stopped and President-elect Roosevelt gave a speech while sitting on the back of the car. A man named Guiseppe Zangara pushed through the crowd. He fired five shots at the President-elect. The bullets hit four people and Mayor Cermak. The mayor fell out of the car and called out "The President, get him away!" But Roosevelt ordered his car to stop and that Mayor Cermak be put in with him. President-elect Roosevelt held Mayor Cermak all the way to the hospital. Mayor Anton J. Cermak died three weeks later, on March 8, 1933. His body was taken back to Chicago and buried in the Bohemian National Cemetery. Guiseppe Zangara was executed in the electric chair on March 21, 1933. That was only 13 days after Mayor Cermak died. It was not always thus. Consider the case of Guiseppe Zangara, who was executed in 1933 for the attempted assassination of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in which Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak was fatally shot. Zangara pleaded guilty in state court on March 10, was sentenced to death, and was executed on March 20 -- an interval of 10 days! Kenneth J. Davis, FDR: The New ork ears 1928-1933 (Random House, 1985) at 427-435. After Roosevelt had delivered a speech in Florida on February 14, 1938, Guiseppe Zangara, an unemployed bricklayer, fired six sbots from a handgun at Roosevelt from twelve yards away. The president elect, who was sitting in an open car, was uninjured but five other people were shot, including Chicago mayor Anton Cernak, who was killed. Zangara, who had a pathological hatred for rich and powerful figures, was found guilty of murder and electrocuted.February 15, 1933, Guiseppe Zangara rose early in Miami, Florida to assassinate Franklin Delano Roosevelt, president-elect. In the past weeks, FDR's popularity had increased. That warm, reassuring voice, that ready grin and tilted cigarette holder, had reached out to touch millions of folks all over America. Zangara did not share these emotions. Pushing his way through the crowd, Zangara shouted out "There are too many people starving to death!" He fired shot after shot at FDR, but a woman's quick move knocked the gun upward. The bullets hit several bystanders and mortally wounded Mayor Cermak of Miami.

On March 21, 1933, Zangara marched into the execution chamber shouting against the "capitalists" and expressing disappointment that no news camera-men were permitted to witness his execution. "Goodbye, adios to the world," were his last words. 3 FDR's Looking Forward published FDR is shot at in assassination attempt in Miami, Florida, by Guiseppe Zangara, 15 February Giuseppe Zangara was sentenced to serve 80 years for shooting at President elect Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. Though Roosevelt was missed, five bystanders, including Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, were struck. Three weeks after the attack, Cermak died of complications. Zangara's sentence was then changed to death sentence. Thirty-three days after the attack, Zangara was strapped into the electric chair at Florida's Raiford Prison. He glared at his executioners and declared, "Goodbye, adios to all the world." His unclaimed body was buried in an unmarked prison grave. In 1989, as part of an effort by court officials to recover missing court files of historical significance, he filed an FOIA request with the U.S. Secret Service seeking to get back court files concerning assassin Giuseppe Zangara. Zangara, a 32-year-old bricklayer, fired four shots at President-elect Franklin Roosevelt's motorcade in 1933 in Miami. Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak was killed and four people were wounded. Roosevelt escaped unharmed. Zangara was found guilty of murder and was executed about a month later. Winslow said a Miami court order showed that a Secret Service agent had checked out Zangara's death warrant and some other court documents in 1954 but never had returned them. Unfortunately, he said, the FOIA request failed to turn up the missing documents. GIUSEPPE ZANGARA pleaded guilty and was executed March 20, 1933 for the March 7, 1933 death of Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, who was fatally wounded in an attempt on the life of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in Miami on Feb. 15, 1933. LE MONDE DIPLOMATIQUE - May 1998 by DOMINIQUE VIDAL National and/or social liberation movements worldwide are equally affected. The ideology and power bloc which used to be their mainstay, whether they liked it or not, has disappeared. The various movements and causes have dropped out of the international spotlight and are no longer up for grabs in the East West confrontation. In fact, amid general indifference, they have largely forfeited their means of action and political leverage. With its main enemy out of the way, along with the economic, ideological and military threat it represented, the West, led by the United States, has now become the master of the world. A damaging result of this new world order has been the beginning of the process of globalisation. It is no paradox to say it probably began on 9 November 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall, or in August 1991 when Mikhail Gorbachev rallied to the American crusade in the Gulf, or indeed on 8 December 1991, the date of the dissolution of the Soviet Union For decades, every socialist project was contrasted with its only existing embodiment: so-called "real" socialism. And, among revolutionary forces themselves, the process of devising a plausible radical alternative was tragically limited by the Soviet horizon. So, despite the consequences described at the beginning, the fall of communism removes a severe handicap. Far from presaging the end of history and the irrelevance of radical thought, it actually gives a whole new lease of life to ideas of utopia. Future generations will have the freedom to conceive a different kind of society without having to define themselves in terms of a communist model. Of course, there is no going back to a clean slate. However, with the passing of time, it should be possible to learn lessons from the failure of communism and - in other forms and for other reasons - social-democratic reformism. The human imagination must find a new way of thinking based on what men and women need, rather than theoretical or dogmatic concepts to be "implemented". The questions we must ask ourselves may have a familiar ring. How are democracy, pluralism, rights and freedoms to be revitalised, but sheltered from totalitarian intent? How is equality of opportunity and social justice to be guaranteed and the security to which people are entitled assured, without a general "dumbing down" and stifling of initiative? How can the fulfilment of basic social needs be made into a priority for the economy without affecting its development? How can the necessary resources be found for a new balance between work, training, family and community life, and leisure activities when people's time is at last freed up? How can the ground be laid for a distribution of wealth which, worldwide, respects the right of all peoples to development? How can the role of the state be made to serve all these objectives while at the same time the independence of each citizen and each local community is assured? In short, how is the relationship between individuals and society to be reinvented? To these and many other questions, there are no longer any ready-made answers. However, the way is now open and the ground ready to be cleared. At last. Translated by Sally Blaxland IGNACIO RAMONET Last January, the corridors of a number of European airports were adorned with a poster in the style of the Chinese cultural revolution. It showed a row of demonstrators at the head of a march, their faces shining, their colourful banners blowing in the wind. The slogan they were chanting was "Capitalists of the world, unite!" For Forbes, America's magazine for millionaires, this was more than a jibe at the 150th anniversary of the publication of Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto. It was a way of making two things clear. Apparently without fear of contradiction, as the posters were not torn down or defaced. The first is that nobody is afraid of communism any longer. The second is that capitalism has gone over to the attack. capitalism's new-found arrogance. The triumphal tone became apparent after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when the Soviet Union collapsed in a welter of political obtuseness reflecting the emptiness of shattered illusions. The sudden revelation of the full consequences of decades of state control in the countries of the former Eastern bloc produced a sort of mental upheaval. The tragic absurdity of a system lacking basic freedoms and a market economy was starkly exposed, as were all the injustices that had followed in its wake. Socialist thinking seemed to subside, along with the belief in progress and a future subject to rational planning. The sole ideological basis of the traditional right had been its anti communism. The collapse of the Soviet system and the implosion of socialism cut the ground from under its feet. Neoliberalism, which had been flagging since the beginning of the century, was left alone in the field, the sole victor of the East-West confrontation. With its main rivals removed, it has re-emerged on all sides, stronger than ever. Its supporters dream of imposing their vision - a neoliberal utopia admitting of no alternative - on the whole world. This campaign of conquest goes by the name of globalisation. It is the outcome of the increasing interdependence of all countries, brought about by the lifting of all controls on the movement of capital, the removal of customs barriers and administrative restrictions, and the intensification of international commerce and free trade; all this under the auspices of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the World Trade Organisation. The financial economy has become entirely divorced from the real economy. The sum total of daily financial transactions throughout the world is about $1,500 billion, but a mere 1 % involves the creation of new wealth. Even in the most developed countries, the dramatic advance of neoliberalism has significantly reduced the role of parliaments and other public players. At the same time, the growth of new information technologies is proceeding without any reference to the idea of social progress. The enormous strides in molecular biology since the early 1960s, coupled with the immense calculating power provided by computer science, have shattered the stability of the technological matrix which public authorities are finding it harder and harder to control. Politicians can no longer assess the risks involved in the acceleration of science and technology (1). Here too, they are increasingly dependent on unelected experts, who direct the government decision-making process behind the scenes. The information revolution has torn our society apart. It has overturned the established pattern of trade, opening the way for the expansion of the global and information economy. Not all the countries of the world have yet been forced into one unit. But the global economy is imposing a single economic model by networking the entire planet. In this new system of liberal social relations, humankind has been reduced to a collection of isolated individuals stranded in a universe of hypertechnology. These brutal changes are causing us to lose our bearings; there is ever-growing uncertainty, the world appears unintelligible and history seems to defy rational interpretation. The crisis we are experiencing is what Gramsci had in mind when he spoke of the old order dying while the new hesitates to be born. We are reminded of Tocqueville's phrase: "When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness." And yet, many people are trying to inject some measure of humanity into the relentless machinery of neoliberalism. They feel the need for responsible involvement and collective action. In an age when power has become abstract, invisible, distant and impersonal, they want to confront those responsible face to face, to direct their anger, fears and frustration at clearly identified adversaries of flesh and blood. They would still be prepared to believe that politics has an answer to everything, even though politicians find it increasingly difficult to propose straightforward solutions to the complex problems of society. And they all feel the need to erect a barrier against the tidal wave of neoliberalism in the form of a coherent ideology that can be opposed to the currently dominant model. To formulate that ideology is no easy matter. There is practically nothing left to build on. Previous utopias based on the idea of progress have all too often sunk into authoritarian rule and oppression. Once again, there is a need for dreamers who can think and thinkers who can dream. The answer will not be a neatly packaged, custom-built project. It will be a way of looking at things, of analysing society, leading gradually to the development of a new ideology that will break the stranglehold of anarcho-liberalism. *** sog *** Neoliberal ideology is busily building a society of selfishness based on fragmentation. To preserve the future, we have to strengthen the collective dimension (3). And collective action is now as much a matter of single-issue campaigns as of parties and unions. *** AoD *** France has seen a proliferation of campaigning groups in recent years. The issues range from food for the homeless (les Restos du Coeur) and the fight against AIDS (Act Up), to unemployment (Action contre le ChYmage - AC!) and housing rights (Droit au Logement - DAL). There has also been considerable growth in local branches of large NGOs like Greenpeace, Amnesty International, MYdecins du Monde and Transparency. Political parties have two particular attributes which detract from their credibility. First, they are all-embracing, claiming to be able to solve all society's problems. Second, they are geographically restricted, i.e. they can act only within the frontiers of a single country. Campaigning groups have exactly the opposite properties. On the one hand they are thematic, i.e. concerned with single issues such as unemployment, housing and the environment. On the other, they are international, i.e. their field of action is the whole planet (4). For many years the supporters of these two different approaches have been at odds with each other, but recently there have been signs of convergence. It is vital that they join forces. This is one of the key problems of political renewal. Campaigning groups are grass-roots organisations, testifying to the richness of social initiative. {John Doe Society - sog} It is therefore essential to build strong links between campaigning organisations and political parties. Campaigning organisations have preserved the belief in the possibility of changing the world, a belief based on a radical conception of democracy. They are the probable source of a renewal of political activity in Europe. . "Today's utopia is tomorrow's reality", as Victor Hugo said. Lamartine agreed that utopias are simply "realities whose time is not yet ripe." It is the committed activists of campaigning organisations who are likely to prove them right. They will resurface tomorrow under other banners. They will be involved in struggles to restore the United Nations' role as the central instrument of international law, to turn it into an organisation that can take real decisions, act decisively and impose lasting peace; to establish international tribunals that can judge crimes against humanity, democracy and the common good; to prevent manipulation of the masses and to end discrimination against women. They will be present in campaigns to secure new legislation on protection of the environment and to establish the principle of sustainable development. In the fight to ban tax havens and promote an economic system based on solidarity. And in many others. Translated by Barry Smerin Return of the Rebels The working classes have not given up the fight despite both overt and covert repression, a weakened and divided trade union movement and media indifference or outright hostility. by CHRISTIAN DE BRIE Alongside the trade union movement, an astonishing wealth and diversity of associations is springing up to challenge the new world order. From local community groups to international non-governmental organisations - there are several hundred thousand of them in all - mobilising hundreds of millions of activists. As the Peoples' Global Action against "Free" Trade and the World Trade Organisation, which met in Geneva in February 1998, stated in their manifesto, direct action against globalisation is the most important thing. "Only a global alliance of peoples' movements, respecting autonomy and facilitating action-oriented resistance, can defeat this ... monster. ... We assert our will to struggle ... against all forms of oppression" (3). Translated by Sally Blaxland THERE IS ANOTHER, BETTER WORLD The hazards of internationalism Billions of men and women, rendered powerless by the fragmentation of the social struggle, are pinning their hopes on a new universalism that does not leave the delicate fabric of the world entirely in the hands of the money men. by ALAIN GRESH We live in extraordinary times. Globalisation is carrying all before it, our means of communication allow us contact in real time with any place you care to name, more people than ever before are travelling the world, yet paradoxically the media space devoted to "foreign affairs" is shrinking to vanishing point. All the research bears this out. Be it in Paris, Washington (1), London or Madrid, television and press coverage of international problems has been substantially reduced. However, there is an exception to every rule and we are informed instantly of any drop in the Nikkei index in Tokyo, invited to rejoice at the new heights reached by the Dow Jones on Wall Street or worry about exchange rate fluctuations in Seoul. Stock exchange news has become the only social glue binding the global village together. Alain Badiou observes in a stimulating reflection on universalism (3), this "process of fragmentation into separate and isolated identities" is only another aspect of a "world that has finally been given a configuration, as a market, a world market. Nothing", he continues, "lends itself more to the invention of new patterns for a uniform monetary system than a community and its territory or territories. What endless opportunities for trade and investment" these innumerable new communities offer as they arise. The many separate states that have replaced ugoslavia or the Soviet Union offered no resistance to the juggernaut of the free market economy. As Alain Badiou observes, "at a time of general movement and the dream of instant cultural exchange, more and more laws and regulations are being introduced everywhere to curtail people's freedom of movement ... Free movement for things that can be counted, by all means, especially for capital, the very essence of such things. But free movement for things that cannot be counted, for the infinite value represented by an individual human life, never! As regards the real life of people and what happens to them", there is - and we must never forget it - "a detestable complicity between the globalised logic of capital and the French mania to preserve their identity". the nation-state - a recent and transitory historical phenomenon (7) - is clearly not the symbolic ideal construct some sentimental elements of the left like to imagine. It has been a key factor in colonial wars, opposition to the labour movement, enforcing moral order, discrimination against women, the marginalisation of minorities, and so on and so on. And the current drift into authoritarian attitudes vis-Y-vis "dangerous elements" and immigrants is unacceptable, even in the name of a self-styled "republican order". How are we to find new forms of rebellion, of dissidence, to meet the new global challenges? With modern means of communication, especially the Internet, it is easy to establish worldwide networks, mobilise, act. But to act locally and on a world scale, to "think global", it is necessary to rediscover universalism, a universalism that is not confined to the values of Western White men, who fall into a trance at the sight of a young girl in a veil and whose real aim in life, to quote Alain Badiou, is "the uniform imposition of what they imagine to be modern". Humanitarian action or laissez-faire? The stagnation of the Soviet system and the collapse of the communist utopia brought discredit on a certain version of internationalism. Even the humanitarianism, which rallied millions of men and women to the cause of emergency aid in time of war and natural disaster, rapidly ran out of steam. No-one was quicker than the organisers of M_dicins sans fronti_res, the organisation that exemplifies that approach, to condemn the political authorities' use of "humanitarian" aid to justify a laissez faire attitude towards the crimes in Bosnia or the genocide in Rwanda. And yet, in the face of fundamentalism, hardening attitudes on identity, or confrontations between increasingly insulated ethnic groups (which do not prevent their foot-soldiers from drinking Coca Cola, their intellectuals from using Microsoft software, and their leaders from calling on the resources of international capital), the peoples of the world have got to find new ways of "living together" and "fighting together". They have nothing to lose from embracing this ideal and, to quote Marx and Engels, "they have a world to win". Translated by Barbara Wilson The US is, in fact, operated as a fascist state by bureaucrats. ~ Bill Payne ~ John Hancock Security to the persons and properties of the governed is so obviously the design and end of civil government, that to attempt a logical proof of it would be like burning tapers at noonday, to assist the sun in enlightening the world; and it cannot be either virtuous or honorable to attempt to support a government of which this is not the great and principal basis; and it is to the last degree vicious and infamous to attempt to support a government which manifestly tends to render the persons and properties of the governed insecure. Some boast of being friends to government; I am a friend to righteous government, to a government founded upon the principles of reason and justice; but I glory in publicly avowing my eternal enmity to tyranny. They have declared that they have ever had, and of right ought ever to have, full power to make laws of sufficient validity to bind the Colonies in all cases whatever. They have exercised this pretended right by imposing a tax upon us without our consent; and lest we should show some reluctance at parting with our property, her fleets and armies are sent to enforce their mad pretensions. it was easy to foresee the consequences which so naturally followed upon sending troops into America to enforce obedience to acts of the British Parliament, which neither God nor man ever empowered them to make. It was reasonable to expect that troops, who knew the errand they were sent upon, would treat the people whom they were to subjugate, with a cruelty and haughtiness which too often buries the honorable character of a soldier in the disgraceful name of an unfeeling ruffian. they thought it not enough to violate our civil rights, they endeavored to deprive us of the enjoyment of our religious privileges, to vitiate our morals, and thereby render us deserving of destruction. But what, my countrymen, withheld the ready arm of vengeance from executing instant justice on the vile assassins? Perhaps you feared promiscuous carnage might ensue, and that the innocent might share the fate of those who had performed the infernal deed. But were not all guilty? Were you not too tender of the lives of those who came to fix a yoke on your necks?

The Manchurian Candidate ~ Raymond Shaw 1901 McKinley is assassinated by anarchist; he is succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt 1911 FDR receives degree of Master Mason conferred by Holland Lodge No. 8, New ork City, 28 November 1913 FDR is appointed assistant secretary of the Navy, April 1919 FDR travels to Europe to supervise naval establishment, January-February 1919 -- Adolph Hitler joins the Thule Society in Germany. In the Thule Society, the 'black sun' played a prominent role as a 'sacred' symbol of the Aryans. The inner core within the Thule Society are all Satanists. 1927 FDR founds the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, therapy center for the treatment of polio victims Stalin becomes Soviet dictator {FDR given quarter-million to run - sog} 1928 FDR again placed in nomination at Democratic National Convention B Governor Alfred E. Smith FDR is elected governor of New ork, opposed by Alfred Ottinger, by 50.3 percent of the vote, 6 November 1933 FDR is shot at in assassination attempt in Miami, Florida, by Guiseppe Zangara, 15 February FDR is inaugurated as 32nd president, 4 March U.S. recognizes the USSR and resumes trade The Twenty-First Amendment repeals prohibition 1945 FDR dies, Warm Springs, Georgia, 12 April; buried Hyde Park, New ork, 15 April Mussolini is killed Hitler commits suicide, Germany surrenders He fired shot after shot at FDR, but a woman's quick move knocked the gun upward. The bullets hit several bystanders and mortally wounded Mayor Cermak of Miami. {Cermak was standing *beside* FDR-gun knocked upward would not change hit targets - sog} In assassination cases, there has always existed the dilemma of establishing the murderer's sanity. Authorities are uncomfortable to admit that sane people kill government leaders. At the same time, many feel that if the assassin is deemed insane, he will escape "proper" punishment. It is much easier to lock upon the assassin as a steely-eyed, cold blooded killer, who is a threat to society...and only half crazy. Nineteen days after Fromme's failed attempt, Sara Jane Moore fired a shot at President Ford, but missed. Prior to the attack, she wrote the following poem: "Hold-Hold, still my hand. Steady my eye, chill my heart, And let my gun sing for the people. Scream their anger, cleanse with their hate, And kill this monster." While most assassins have deep, emotional problems, few are truly insane, unable to distinguish between right and wrong. Defendants are presumed to be sane and responsible for their crimes until the contrary can be proven. In order to establish insanity, it must be proved that, at the time of the offense, the defendant was laboring under such a defect or disease of the mind so as not to know the nature and quality of the act or did not know that it was wrong. This is referred to as the McNaughton Rule, and it is based on an 1843 assassination case. John Schrank was convicted of shooting former-President Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. Roosevelt recovered from the wound and carried Schrank's bullet in his chest for the rest of his life John W. Hinckley Jr. was acquitted by reason of insanity for shooting President Ronald Reagan in 1981. He has been held in St. Elizabeth's Hospital since his trial and has petitioned the courts to win his release. {Cermak-Brady - sog} In 1935, Dr. Carl Weiss shot and killed Senator Huey Long outside the governor's office of the Louisiana State Capitol Building in Baton Rouge. Long's bodyguards opened fire on Weiss, killing him instantly. He suffered more than 50 bullet wounds. There is evidence that suggests Long was accidentally shot and killed by one of his own guards.ods are those with high rates of female-headed families, welfare dependency and labor force and school dropouts. In 1990, in the typical "bad behavior" white underclass tract, 55 percent of the men did not participate in the work force and 42 percent of the residents had dropped out of school; the corresponding figures for black tracts were 62 percent and 36 percent... They are easy for politicians to manipulate and are no threat to do anything very imaginative or even act in concert in defense of their own interests without outside leadership. They also constitute a talking point. Politicians can talk about taking steps to correct the problem and improve conditions for these "victims of society." Humans are social beings, they require an emotional and spiritual bond to their society, with that society viewed as a collective entity. Intellectuals spend their lives constructing and tinkering with their identities. the educational system of the United States. It is clearly inadequate, since ordinary people in an advanced industrial society should be able to handle abstract reasoning It is not that the system has failed at what it set out to do. One cannot be said to have failed at something one has never attempted. It is important to keep ordinary people in their place If ordinary people were able to reason effectively and draw conclusions about matters outside of their day to day experience, then they might start asking questions that politicians would have difficulty answering. t the belief in lack of ability tends to bring about that lack of ability. What one must keep in mind in regard to this stereotype is that it constitutes an assertion as to fact. In other words, it is not a moral principle, it is not a value judgement, and it is not, in itself, an expression of prejudice. If one were to assert it, knowing and believing that it was false, then it would be an expression of prejudice. One can only be truly equal if one accepts the same burdens and responsibilities as everyone else. . One, of course, needs to throw in the sexual stereotypes also, since they played a similar role in building identity. The main problem is to understand the function of ethnic identity in a society. sense of duty and obligation. One cannot feel such a sense of duty without a clear understanding of one's place in the world. That is what identity is all about. The collective identity, which the people of Oaxaca have, is what makes each individual accountable to society. Peer pressure, as one sees in operation in the case of Mr. Santiago, is the means by which a fully functional society influences and modifies the behavior of its members. In the United States, such outpourings of ethnic sentiment on the part of the dominant culture are discouraged There is to be no expression of ethnic identity not approved by the intellectual establishment. The government must seek to suppress any alternative means of social control. All legitimate power must be held by the government, even to the point of making every member of society a criminal. *** {TCM tag-line - sog} *** e sum total of the effort. Attacks on certain forms of religious expression are part of it also, but it is the "Civil Rights Movement" that provides an excuse for government to intrude into all kinds of interpersonal relationships. The more the government can do this, the more people are alienated from society. People are no longer accountable to one another but to a vast impersonal bureaucracy. One must recall that this is the basic premise of Totalitarian social organization. The purpose of this effort is to crush all opposition to the agenda of the ruling oligarchy. The democratic forms are meaningless in the absence of a willingness on the part of the population in general to assume collective responsibility for the maintenance of social order. All power ultimately lies in the hands of those who perform that function. The people in general can only do this by means of imposing their collective identity in the ways the author has described. If one can destroy the emotional and spiritual bonds that provide the sort of collective identity which U.S. society once had, then one has only millions of sheep and a few wolves. . From a recent book on the human brain one has: The sexes are different because their brains are different. The brain, the chief administrative and emotional organ of life, is differently constructed in men and in women; it processes information in a different way, which results in different perceptions, priorities and behavior. human behavior in general is much more biologically driven than was believed previously. What this means, among other things, is that human behavior cannot be modified beyond certain limits. It is not possible, for instance, to fundamentally change the nature of the male/female relationship The problem in this Detroit neighborhood is not that welfare benefits are too low. After all, these people are very wealthy compared to Mr. Santiago. What they have not received from society is a strong sense of ethnic identity. As a result, they have rejected society and have set out to make their own. One sees them assuming the responsibility for the maintenance of social order but in an antisocial context. The gang symbols and mode of dress are a typical male effort to impose their identity on the environment, just as Mr. Santiago was doing in placing flowers at the statue of the patron saint. In the matter of the gang symbols, however, one sees a pattern of social disintegration. In the case of Americans, great efforts are made in the form of entertainment, bizarre religious activities (The Branch Davidians, for example), appeals to great collective efforts (Save the Whale), self improvement (lose weight), and many other artificial undertakings to give life meaning and purpose. The problem with American society is precisely this artificiality. If one rejects ethnic identity and the social cohesion that it provides, then one must resort to coercion. Unfortunately, there is an end to that twisted path. In order to survive, a society must conform itself to the psychological needs of the average person and not attempt to coerce people into conforming to some false ideology. the government is a big part of the cause of the problem in that it has set out to undermine identity 1927 Despite international protest and allegations of perjury, evidence tampering, and judicial prejudice, Anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti are executed for robbery and murder. 1966 Eagle Scout and ex-Marine Charles Whitman opens fire from atop the 27-story tower at the University of Texas at Austin. He kills 21 people and wounds nearly 30 before being killed by police. THE OMEGA FILE: [Greys, Nazis, Underground Bases, and the New World Order] by Branton they have taken control of much of the 'underground black budget empire' -- a vast network of interconnected underground military-industrial bases and cities that have been constructed with the assistance of TRILLIONS [yes, I said TRILLIONS] of dollars siphoned from the American economy via taxes, drugs, organized crime, etc., money which has literally gone 'down the tubes', leaving our economy in a state of chaos. {Is it reasonable to believe that those who monitor 'all' communications, and control banking & finance become 'stupid' when it comes to Trillions of dollars of black-market income?

MacArthur earlier disobeys U.N. directives by initiating a secret attack on the Communist stronghold at Inchon [leading to a quick end of the war], after he and other military leaders suspected the pro-Socialist U.N. officials of betraying their battle plans to the North Koreans. Truman goes into hiding at Camp David for two weeks following MacArthur's return, fearing that the highest-ranking military general in the United States would arrest him for treason. After Truman fires MacArthur for his unauthorized military action, he recieves much condemnation from confused and angered patriotic Americans who criticize Truman for his decision. 521104 - NSA: Presidential Executive Orders exempts NSA from all laws.

In 1929 the German Ernst Rudin enacts German Sterilization Laws. {Eugenics was Policy forerunner of Planned ParentHoods - sog} 1943 -- General Reinhard Gehlen infiltrates Soviat intelligence. Gehlen forms a partnership with Allen Dulles [a Bavarian Illuminist and American 'Nazi'], which results in the creation of the CIA [and some years later the more powerful NSA] from a core of Nazi SS intelligence officers brought to the US under the auspices of Operation Sunrise, Overcast, and Paperclip On April 12, Roosevelt dies and Harry Truman, a high Mason as was Roosevelt, becomes President of the United States. On May 7, 1945, Germany surrenders.

In the aftermath of World War I, the German Nazis learned that anti communism could be used to achieve strategic leverage over Germany's prospective enemies such as Great Britain and the United States. The Third Reich sought to escape the full consequences of military defeat in World War II by playing the anti-Communist card again. Although a few of the more obvious and obnoxious elements of Nazism were removed, Nazis were returned to power at virtually every level and in almost every capacity in the Federal Republic of Germany. In its American incarnation, liberation theory called for "rolling back" communism out of Eastern Europe and the break-up of the Soviet Union into its constituent ethnic Republics. {We give half of Europe to the Soviets and then immediately declare them the Great Enemy, and strive to 'free' the same countries we handed them.

He also stated, "On the basis of present evidence, no insurance company in America would pay a claim on Adolph Hitler."

The movement called for the killing or sterilization of people whose HEREDIT made them a public burden. A few months later, Hitler took over Germany and the Rockefeller-Rudin apparatus became a section of the Nazi state. The regime appointed Rudin head of the Racial Hygiene Society. Rudin and his staff, as part of the Task Force of Heredity Experts chaired by SS chief Heinrich Himmler, drew up the sterilization law. Described as an American Model law, it was adopted in July 1933 and proudly printed in the September 1933 Eugenical News [USA] with Hitler's signature. The Rockefeller group drew up other race laws, also based on existing Virginia statutes. The 'T4'' unit of the Hitler Chancery, based on psychiatrists led by Rudin and his staff, cooperated in creating propaganda films to sell mercy killing [euthanasia] to German citizens. The public reacted antagonistically: Hitler had to withdraw a tear-jerker right-to-die film from the movie theaters. The proper groundwork had not yet been laid. Under the Nazis, the German chemical company I.G. FARBEN and Rockefeller's STANDARD [EXXON] OIL of New Jersey were effectively a SINGLE FIRM, merged in hundreds of cartel arrangements. I.G. FARBEN was led up until 1937 by the Warburg family, Rockefeller's partner in banking and in the design of Nazi German eugenics. Following the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Standard Oil pledged to keep the merger with I.G. Farben going even if the U.S. entered the war. This was exposed in 1942 by Sen. Harry Truman's investigating committee, and President Roosevelt took hundreds of legal measures during the war to stop the Standard - I.G. Farben cartel from supplying the enemy war machine. In 1940-41, I.G. Farben built a gigantic factory at Auschwitz in Poland, DR. MENGELE... In 1943, Otmar Verschuer's assistant Josef Mengele was made medical commandant of Auschwitz.

Subject: "... would cause us to look at this person as a threat" Date: Tue, 12 May 1998 11:45:14 -0700 From: Tim May <tcmay(a)got.net> To: cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net I just saw this on one of the newsgroups: "A cultist is one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the Second Coming of Christ; who frequently attends Bible studies; who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause; who home schools for their children; who has accumulated survival foods and has a strong belief in the Second Amendment; and who distrusts big government. Any of these may qualify [a person as a cultist] but certainly more than one [of these] would cause us to look at this person as a threat, and his family as being in a risk situation that qualified for government interference." -Attorney General Janet Reno, Interview on 60 Minutes, June 26, 1994 No wonder the government views so many people as threats. How does "qualified for government interference" square with the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments? (No doubt Janet also believes that belief in that pesky Fifth Amendment, not to mention the rest of the Constitution, will cause the government to look at these wackos as threats and worth of "government interference."

Long ago and far away, Adolf Hitler was talking to Hermann Rauschning and said, "The people about us are unaware of what is really happening to them: They gaze fascinated at one or two familiar superficialities, such as possession and income and rank and other outworn conceptions. As long as these are kept intact, they are quite satisfied. But in the meantime they have entered a new relation: a powerful social force has caught them up. They themselves are changed. What are ownership and income to that? Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings." I see someone has made a TV movie of "Brave New World." Are we to view it as a work of fiction, or a Scribean foreshadowing of what looms in the very near future? Geoff Metcalf "War is a matter of vital importance for the state; it is the province of life and death, the road which leads to survival or elimination. It is essential to study it in depth". Sun Tzu, "The Art of War" http://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/md/en/1997/08-09/marcos.html The fourth world war has begun In Chiapas, the Zapatista National Liberation Army issued no directives about the elections, choosing instead to withdraw to the sheltering greenery of the Lacandona Forest. >From this sanctuary the head of the ZNLA, Sub-Commandant Marcos, sent us this original and geostrategic analysis of the new world picture. by Sub-Commandant Marcos * Zapatista National Liberation Army, Chiapas, Mexico The defeat of the "evil empire" has opened up new markets, and the struggle over them is leading to a new world war - the fourth. Unlike the third world war, in which the conflict between capitalism and socialism took place over a variety of terrains and with varying degrees of intensity, the fourth world war is being conducted between major financial centres in theatres of war that are global in scale and with a level of intensity that is fierce and constant. The third world war showed the benefits of "total war" for its victor, which was capitalism. In the post-cold war period we see the emergence of a new planetary scenario in which the principal conflictual elements are the growing importance of no-man's-lands (arising out of the collapse of the Eastern bloc countries), the expansion of a number of major powers (the United States, the European Union and Japan), a world economic crisis and a new technical revolution based on information technology. Thanks to computers and the technological revolution, the financial markets, operating from their offices and answerable to nobody but themselves, have been imposing their laws and world-view on the planet as a whole. Globalisation is merely the totalitarian extension of the logic of the finance markets to all aspects of life. Where they were once in command of their economies, the nation states (and their governments) are commanded - or rather telecommanded - by the same basic logic of financial power, commercial free trade. And in addition, this logic has profited from a new permeability created by the development of telecommunications to appropriate all aspects of social activity. At last, a world war which is totally total! The new international capitalism renders national capitalism obsolete and effectively starves their public powers into extinction. The blow has been so brutal that sovereign states have lost the strength to defend their citizens' interests. The fine showcase inherited from the ending of the cold war - the new world order - has shattered into fragments as a result of the neoliberal explosion. It takes no more than a few minutes for companies and states to be sunk - but they are sunk not by winds of proletarian revolution, but by the violence of the hurricanes of world finance. The son (neoliberalism) is devouring the father (national capital) and, in the process, is destroying the lies of capitalist ideology: in the new world order there is neither democracy nor freedom, neither equality nor fraternity. The planetary stage is transformed into a new battlefield, in which chaos reigns. Megalopolises are reproducing themselves right across the planet. Their favourite spawning ground is in the world's free trade areas. In North America, the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico is a prelude to the accomplishment of an old dream of US conquest: "America for the Americans". Are megalopolises replacing nations? No, or rather not merely that. They are assigning them new functions, new limits and new perspectives. Entire countries are becoming departments of the neoliberal mega-enterprise. the financial centres are working on a reconstruction of nation states and are reorganising them within a new logic: the economic has the upper hand over the social. In this new war, politics, as the organiser of the nation state, no longer exists. Now politics serves solely in order to manage the economy, and politicians are now merely company managers. The world's new masters have no need to govern directly. National governments take on the role of running things on their behalf. This is what the new order means - unification of the world into one single market. The unification produced by neoliberalism is economic: in the giant planetary hypermarket it is only commodities that circulate freely, not people. What we have here is a destruction of the material bases of nation states, but we also have a destruction of history and culture. Neoliberalism thus imposes the destruction of nations and of groups of nations in order to fuse them into one single model. The war which neoliberalism is conducting against humanity is thus a planetary war, and is the worst and most cruel ever seen. What we have here is a puzzle. The first of these pieces is the two-fold accumulation of wealth and of poverty at the two poles of planetary society. The second is the total exploitation of the totality of the world. The third is the nightmare of that part of humanity condemned to a life of wandering. The fourth is the sickening relationship between crime and state power. The fifth is state violence. The sixth is the mystery of megapolitics. The seventh is the multiple forms of resistance which humanity is deploying against neoliberalism. Piece no. 1: The concentration of wealth and the distribution of poverty The earth has five billion human inhabitants: of these, only 500 million live comfortably; the remaining 4.5 billion endure lives of poverty. The gap between rich and poor is enormous: far from decreasing, social inequalities are growing. Piece no. 2: The globalisation of exploitation the world capitalist system is "modernising" the production, circulation and consumption of commodities. The new technological revolution (information technology) and the new revolution in politics (the megalopolises emerging from the ruins of the nation state) produce a new social "revolution". This social revolution consists of a rearrangement, a reorganisation of social forces and, principally, of the workforce. The world's economically active population (EAP) went from 1.38 billion in 1960 to 2.37 billion in 1990. A large increase in the number of human beings capable of working and generating wealth. But the new world order arranges this workforce within specific geographical and productive areas, and reassigns their functions (or non-functions, in the case of unemployed and precarious workers) within the plan of world globalisation. The world's economically active population by sector (EAPS) has undergone radical changes during the past 20 years. Agriculture and fishing fell from 22 % in 1970 to 12 % in 1990; manufacture from 25 % to 22 %; but the tertiary sector (commercial, transport, banking and services) has risen from 42 % to 56 %. In developing countries, the tertiary sector has grown from 40 % in 1970 to 57 % in 1990, while agriculture and fishing have fallen from 30 % to 15 % (2). This means that increasing numbers of workers are channelled into the kind of activities necessary for increasing productivity or speeding up the creation of commodities this "modern" capitalist production continues to rely on child labour. Out of 1.15 billion children in the world, at least 100 million live on the streets and 200 million work The globalised market is destroying small and medium- sized companies. With the disappearance of local and regional markets, small and medium producers have no protection and are unable to compete with the giant transnationals. All this combines to create a specific surplus: an excess of human beings who are useless in terms of the new world order because they do not produce, do not consume, and do not borrow from banks. In short, human beings who are disposable. Each day the big finance centres impose their laws on countries and groups of countries all around the world. They re-arrange and re-order the inhabitants of those countries. And at the end of the operation they find there is still an "excess" of people. Piece no. 3: Migration, a nightmare of wandering there is a proliferation of "regional wars" and "internal conflicts"; capital follows paths of atypical accumulation; and large masses of workers are mobilised. Result: a huge rolling wheel of millions of migrants moving across the planet. As "foreigners" in that "world without frontiers" which had been promised by the victors of the cold war, they are forced to endure racist persecution, precarious employment, the loss of their cultural identity, police repression, hunger, imprisonment and murder. The fourth world war - with its mechanisms of destruction/depopulation and reconstruction/reorganisation - involves the displacement of millions of people. Their destiny is to wander the world, carrying the burden of their nightmare with them, so as to constitute a threat to workers who have a job, a scapegoat designed to make people forget their bosses, and to provide a basis for the racism that neoliberalism provokes. Piece no. 4: Financial globalisation and the generalisation of crime With the beginning of the fourth world war, organised crime has globalised its activities. The criminal organisations of five continents have taken on board the "spirit of world cooperation" and have joined together in order to participate in the conquest of new markets. They are investing in legal businesses, not only in order to launder dirty money, but in order to acquire capital for illegal operations. Their preferred activities are luxury property investment, the leisure industry, the media - and banking. According to a UN report, the involvement of crime syndicates has been facilitated by the programmes of structural adjustment which debtor countries have been forced to accept in order to gain access to International Monetary Fund loans (3). So here we have the rectangular mirror within which legality and illegality exchange reflections. On which side of the mirror is the criminal? And on which side is the person who pursues him? Piece no. 5: Legitimate violence of illegitimate powers In the cabaret of globalisation, the state performs a striptease, at the end of which it is left wearing the minimum necessary: its powers of repression. With its material base destroyed, its sovereignty and independence abolished, and its political class eradicated, the nation state increasingly becomes a mere security apparatus in the service of the mega-enterprises which neoliberalism is constructing. Instead of orienting public investment towards social spending, it prefers to improve the equipment which enables it to control society more effectively. What is to be done when the violence derives from the laws of the market? Where is legitimate violence then? And where the illegitimate? The monopoly of violence no longer belongs to nation states: the market has put it up for auction. However, when the monopoly of violence is contested not on the basis of the laws of the market, but in the interests of "those from below", then world power sees it as "aggression". This is one of the (least studied and most condemned) aspects of the challenges launched by the indigenous peoples in arms and in rebellion of the Zapatista National Liberation Army against neoliberalism and for humanity. The new world police wants national armies and police to be simple security bodies guaranteeing order and progress within the megalopolises of neoliberalism. Piece no. 6: Megapolitics and its dwarfs But neoliberalism does not conduct its war solely by "unifying" nations and regions. Its strategy of destruction/depopulati on and reconstruction/reorganisation also produces a fracture or fractures within the nation state. This is the paradox of this fourth world war: while ostensibly working to eliminate frontiers and "unite" nations, it actually leads to a multiplication of frontiers and the smashing apart of nations. The elimination of trade frontiers, the explosion of telecommunications, information superhighways, the omnipresence of financial markets, international free trade agreements - all this contributes to destroying nation states and internal markets. Paradoxically, globalisation produces a fragmented world of isolated pieces, a world full of watertight compartments which may at best be linked by fragile economic gangways. Mega-politics globalises national politics - in other words it ties them to a centre which has world interests and which operates on the logic of the market. It is in the name of the market that wars, credits, buying and selling of commodities, diplomatic recognition, trade blocs, political support, laws on immigration, breakdowns of relationships between countries and investment - in short, the survival of entire nations - are decided. The world-wide power of the financial markets is such that they are not concerned about the political complexion of the leaders of individual countries: what counts in their eyes is a country's respect for the economic programme. Financial disciplines are imposed on all alike. These masters of the world can even tolerate the existence of left-wing governments, on condition that they adopt no measure likely to harm the interests of the market. However, they will never accept policies that tend to break with the dominant model. Piece no. 7: Pockets of resistance "To begin with, I ask you not to confuse resistance with political opposition. Opposition does not oppose itself to power but to a government, and its fully-formed shape is that of an opposition party; resistance, on the other hand, cannot be a party, by definition: it is not made in order to govern but... to resist." (TomY s Segovia, "Alegatorio", Mexico, 1996) The apparent infallibility of globalisation comes up hard against the stubborn disobedience of reality. While neoliberalism is pursuing its war, groups of protesters, kernels of rebels, are forming throughout the planet. The empire of financiers with full pockets confronts the rebellion of pockets of resistance. es, pockets. Of all sizes, of different colours, of varying shapes. Their sole common point is a desire to resist the "new world order" and the crime against humanity that is represented by this fourth world war. Whereas the ZNLA fights to defend national sovereignty, the Mexican Federal Army functions to protect a government which has destroyed the material bases of sovereignty and which has offered the country not only to large-scale foreign capital, but also to drug trafficking. The possible shapes are as numerous as the forms of resistance themselves, as numerous as all the worlds existing in this world. So draw whatever shape you like. In this matter of pockets, as in that of resistance, diversity is a wealth. THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ________________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release May 12, 1998 INTERNATIONAL CRIME CONTROL STRATEG BACKGROUND International crime is a serious and potent threat to the American people at home and abroad. Drug and firearms trafficking, terrorism, money laundering, counterfeiting, illegal alien smuggling, trafficking in women and children, advanced fee scams, credit card fraud, auto theft, economic espionage, intellectual property theft, computer hacking, and public corruption are all linked to international criminal activity and all have a direct impact on the security and prosperity of the American people. Americans spend billions of dollars annually on cocaine and heroin, all of which originates abroad; in 1997, there were 123 terrorist attacks against U.S. targets worldwide, including 108 bombings and eight kidnappings; each year, approximately one billion dollars worth of stolen cars are smuggled out of this country; annually, U.S. companies lose up to $23 billion from the illegal duplication and piracy of films, compact discs, computer software, pharmaceutical and textile products, while U.S. credit card companies suffer losses of hundreds of millions of dollars from international fraud; and several hundred U.S. companies and other organizations have already suffered computer attacks in 1998, resulting in millions of dollars of losses and significant threats to our safety and security. PURPOSE The International Crime Control Strategy (ICCS) addresses this increasing threat by providing a framework for integrating all facets of the federal government response to international crime. This first ever strategy reflects the high priority accorded international crime by this Administration and builds on such existing strategies as the National Drug Control Strategy and the Presidential Directives on alien smuggling, counter-terrorism and nuclear materials safety and security. The ICCS is also an important initiative in terms of enhancing the ability of U.S. law enforcement officials to cooperate effectively with their overseas counterparts in investigating and prosecuting international crime cases. At the upcoming Birmingham Summit, G-8 leaders will discuss international crime as one of the most pressing issues related to increasing globalization and rapid technological and economic change. President Clinton will highlight the new ICCS in underscoring the U.S. commitment to close cooperation with all nations who are mobilizing to confront this increasing threat. OVERVIEW The ICCS is a plan of action containing eight broad goals with thirty implementing objectives. The ICCS expresses President Clinton's resolve to combat international crime aggressively and substantially reduce its impact on the daily lives of the American people. The Strategy's eight goals and related objectives are: 1. Extend the First Line of Defense Beyond U.S. Borders by (a) preventing acts of international crime planned abroad before they occur, (b) using all available laws to prosecute select criminal acts committed abroad, and (c) intensifying activities of law enforcement, diplomatic and consular personnel abroad. 2. Protect U.S. Borders by (a) enhancing our land border inspection, detection and monitoring capabilities, (b) improving the effectiveness of maritime and air smuggling interdiction efforts, (c) seeking new, stiffer criminal penalties for smuggling activities, and (d) targeting enforcement and prosecutorial resources more effectively against smuggling crimes and organizations. 3. Deny Safe Haven to International Criminals by (a) negotiating new international agreements to create a seamless web for the prompt location, arrest and extradition of international fugitives, (b) implementing strengthened immigration laws that prevent international criminals from entering the United States and provide for their prompt expulsion when appropriate, and (c) promoting increased cooperation with foreign law enforcement authorities. 4. Counter International Financial Crime by (a) combating money laundering and strengthening enforcement efforts to reduce inbound and outbound movement of criminal proceeds, (b) seizing the assets of international criminals, (c) enhancing bilateral and multilateral cooperation against all financial crime, and (d) targeting offshore centers of international fraud, counterfeiting, electronic access device schemes and other financial crimes. 5. Prevent Criminal Exploitation of International Trade by (a) interdicting illegal technology exports, (b) preventing unfair and predatory trade practices in violation of U.S. criminal law, (c) protecting intellectual property rights, (d) countering industrial theft and economic espionage of U.S. trade secrets, and (e) enforcing import restrictions on certain harmful substances, dangerous organisms and protected species. 6. Respond to Emerging International Crime Threats by (a) disrupting new activities of international organized crime groups, (b) enhancing intelligence efforts against criminal enterprises, (c) reducing trafficking in human beings and crimes against children, (d) increasing enforcement efforts against high tech and computer-related crime, and (e) continuing to identify and counter the vulnerabilities of critical infrastructures and new technologies in high tech areas. 7. Foster International Cooperation and the Rule of Law by (a) establishing international standards, goals and objectives to combat international crime and by actively encouraging compliance, (b) improving bilateral cooperation with foreign governments and law enforcement authorities, and (c) strengthening the rule of law as the foundation for democratic government and free markets in order to reduce societies' vulnerability to criminal exploitation. 8. Optimize the Full Range of U.S. Efforts by (a) enhancing executive branch policy and operational coordination mechanisms to the risks of criminal threats and to integrate strategies, goals and objectives to combat those threats, (b) mobilizing and incorporating the private sector into U.S. government efforts, and (c) developing measures of effectiveness to assess progress over time. ICCS INITIATIVES Highlighted below are ten Administration initiatives to further our efforts to fight international crime. 1. International Crime Control Act of 1998: Proposed legislation containing significant new law enforcement tools for the fight against international crime. 2. Comprehensive Threat Assessment: A comprehensive assessment of the threat to the American people posed by international crime, to be completed within six months. 3. International Conference on Upholding Integrity Among Justice and Security Officials: An international conference to address upholding integrity among key justice and security officials worldwide, to be organized by the Vice President within the next six months. 4. High Tech Crime: An action plan, building on the work of the G 8 justice and interior ministers and the creation of the U.S. National Infrastructure Protection Center, to protect interconnected U.S. communications and information systems from attack by international criminals. 5. Border Law Enforcement: A program to enhance border law enforcement through deployment of advanced detection technology and investment of new resources. 6. Financial Crimes: A commitment to employ aggressively new tools to deny criminals access to U.S. financial institutions and to enhance enforcement efforts against financial crimes. 7. International Asset Forfeiture and Sharing: A U.S. call for new criminal asset forfeiture regimes worldwide and new asset forfeiture sharing agreements with our international partners. 8. OAS Treaty Against Illicit Trafficking in Firearms: A program to work with our OAS partners to implement fully a hemispheric convention to combat the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, ammunition and explosives. 9. Economic Espionage and Theft of Industrial Property: A commitment to use the Economic Espionage Act to increase U.S. investigations and prosecutions of individuals and companies who attempt to steal U.S. proprietary information. 10. Strategic Communications Plan: A plan to engage the private sector in assessing the impact of international crime on that sector and in determining its appropriate role in countering this threat.

Data Fellows Announces F-Secure Workstation Suite 3.0
by Nina Huupponen 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

For immediate release 27 July 1998 DATA FELLOWS ANNOUNCES F-SECURE WORKSTATION SUITE 3.0 The Worlds First Suite Product with Strong Encryption Provides Corporations with a Complete Security Solution HELSINKI, FINLAND, July 27, 1998 -- Data Fellows, a leading developer of data security solutions, today announced F-Secure Workstation Suite. The product provides a reliable and easy-to-manage solution for most data security concerns of modern corporations. "F-Secure Workstation Suite provides centralized management of most corporate security aspects," says Mr. Risto Siilasmaa, Chief Executive Officer of Data Fellows. "It combines world-class protection against malicious code with unobtrusive file and network encryption. F-Secure Workstation Suite is easily integrated into the enterprises management system. The Suite is also totally unobtrusive for the corporate end-users." F-Secure Workstation Suite is the only product to combine world-class anti-virus protection with strong encryption for network traffic and files stored on the hard disk. Competing offerings from Network Associates and Symantec are not available world-wide with strong encryption. They also lack the centralized policy based management features announced for F-Secure Workstation Suite 4.0. Unparalleled Virus Protection The components of F-Secure Workstation Suite utilize the absolute latest technology in the field. Malicious code detection and removal is based on the F-Secure Anti-Virus product line, the first anti-virus in the world to use multiple scanning engines simultaneously through its revolutionary CounterSign architecture. Its detection rates are unparalleled, and automated updates to the whole network further enhance its reliability. Real-Time File Encryption and IPsec-Based Network Encryption F-Secure Workstation Suite is the only suite product currently available to offer strong encryption all over the world. The product uses an encryption key length of 128 bits or more. The administrator can choose from supported algorithms, including RSA, 3DES and Blowfish. All the most widely used authentication methods are supported. Should the authorized user forget his/her password, the product also contains a safe and easy administrative key retrieval function. "The file encryption component of F-Secure Workstation Suite provides real-time protection for confidential data. F-Secure FileCrypto automatically encrypts all open and temporary files. Not only is encryption completely unobtrusive to the end-user, but it is also extremely secure: there is no way the user can accidentally store confidential information in plain text," explains Mr. Siilasmaa. F-Secure Workstation Suites network encryption, F-Secure VPN+, is based on the latest IPsec standards. The F-Secure VPN+ is fully scalable: it contains three components (Client, Server and Gateway) which can be combined to build all major types of virtual private networks. These include connections between organizations and their partners, home offices, or employees on the road. F-Secure VPN+ is also fully transparent to the end-user, as it uses IP protocol at the network level, which is invisible at the application level. The F-Secure Workstation Suite product contains the client component of F-Secure VPN+. The Server and Gateway components are available separately. Availability The first version of F-Secure Workstation Suite will operate in the Microsoft Windows NT environment. The product will be available from the Data Fellows resellers around the world in August 1998. Prices will start from $68 per seat for a 100-user license. The 4.0 version will be available in early fourth quarter 1998. This version will be a fully integrated, policy-based security solution, making it possible to manage data security issues in accordance with the corporate security policy. The product will be based on a three tier management architecture with considerable scalability advantages in a large organization. In addition to Microsoft Windows NT, it will also operate in the Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows 98 environments. All users of F-Secure Workstation Suite 3.0 will receive a free upgrade to the 4.0 version as it ships. Easy-to-Use Management and Scalability The installation of F-Secure Workstation Suite 4.0 requires no work at the actual workstation, and no configuration from the end-user after the installation. The entire corporate system can be managed centrally. Thus the management of vital security issues is effective but completely transparent to the end-user. F-Secure Workstation Suite supports the industry-standard SNMP protocol, integrates with Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) and will include agents for leading enterprise management products, such as CA Unicenter, IBM Tivoli and HP OpenView. F-Secure Workstation Suite 4.0 comes bundled with F-Secure Administrator, a Pure Java based graphical console for managing the security policies for the whole enterprise network.

Quaint Customs Warning - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

Canadian Customs Warning - SPACE ALIENS HIDE M DRUGS!!! ________________________________________________________ Although the Reptilian Nazis making preparations in the lavoratories of their SecretUnderGroundBunkers pose an eventual threat to the safety and security of humanity itself, there are many more immediate dangers present in our lives which can bring serious consequences to anyone who remains unaware of them. Thus, I feel that it is important for everyday, average citizens to issue travel warnings for those who may be thinking in venturing into some of the more corrupt areas of the world, such as Canada, where they may find themselved subject to arbitrary and capricious actions by the heavy-handed Canadian Customs BorderGuards before even being allowed to enter the country, after which they will be subject to whatever illegal acts and measures that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police choose to perpetrate upon them. It is particularly important to be wary of entering through certain Customs ports, such as Regway, Saskatchewan, which have a long history of abuse of authority and criminal malefeasance. Bill Mitchell, a Canadian Customs OffalSlur at the Regway port, has been known to steal thousands of dollars worth of goods from those passing through while he is on duty, while being extremely evasive when asked about the legality of his conduct, as well as being very inept at hiding the fact that he is a lying, scumbag piece of shit who is not intelligent enough to tell even halfway believable lies. Although I normally advise people to make what effort they can to get whatever measure of Justice they can through normal legal channels, in the case of countries such as Canada, where even high-ranking political figures are known to be corrupt, where many of the Judges have histories of corruption, substance abuse and complicity in the illegal activities of law enforcement officials, I certainly could not find fault with anyone who surveyed the situation they found themselves in and decided that their best option was to used armed force to prevent becoming a victim of the oppressive, unethical and illegal actions of armed bandits working under the cover of Canadian Government Authority. As well, although one might morally and ethically be perfectly justified in putting a bullet through the brain of armed Canadian Government Bandits who have been trained to deal violently with any person who resists their attempts at enforcing their alleged authority, even when doing so in an unethical and illegal manner, it would be unwise for them to act hastily, since one must be prepared to follow through in regard to such an action, by also eliminating any other government agents who may be present and would constitute an immediate or future threat to the individual who refuses to be subjected to illegal and unethical government actions. Although I suppose that one might make a case for being 'better safe than sorry' when entering Canada through a port such as Regway, and just going ahead and whacking out the whole lot of them, so that they don't have a chance to get the jump on you, before proceeding into the country, I personally think that if one has prepared in advance for dealing with the danger that the Regway Customs OffalSlurs represent, then this option should not be necessary. Of course, I realize that I, myself, am a rather conservative person, so I would certainly not pass judgement on those who are more of a 'take the BullShit by the horns' type of individual. Being, as I say, rather conservative by nature, I don't usually feel it necessary to immediately put to death violent armed Canadian Government Thugs for their crimes against myself or other citizens, even though doing so might well help to prevent future criminal abuses by violent, armed people in positions of authority, since there area variety of other routes that one might take in extracting a measure of Justice or EqualizationOf TheAnalSexualBalanceOfTheTao. As always, anyone who chooses to attempt to receive redress for the crimes committed against them by those in authoritative government positions will be fighting a battle in which the Canadian Justice System is stacked against them. Even though Judge Lee, a notorious drunkard who has performed GodOnlyKnows how many travesties of justice while rendering legal judgements while totally ShitFaced, has retired, many of the other Canadian judges, while perhaps not being as totally out-of-control, are nonetheless known to rubber-stamp pretty much every instance of criminal] abuse perpetrated on the citizenry, as a matter of course. Likewise, the Saskatchewan Justice Department is well-known by the citizens to be a FuckingJoke (TM), and that any person who dares to file a complaint against members of the Canadian Legal Community can expect to be subjected to ridicule and abuse by Justice Department Investigators, as well as perhaps finding themselves the target of further persecution by those being WhiteWashed by their Justice Department BumBuddies. Realizing that any citizen who shot and killed an armed intruder in his home who was attempting to rob HimOrHer of thousands of dollars worth of personal propery would likely be regarded as a hero, while a citizen who shot and killed an ArmedCanadianGovernmentThug who was doing the same, would be the immediate subject of villification by all arms of Canadian Opinon/Reality Creating Agencies, my own preference is to set a goal of returning (1,000)Tit-for-(1)Tat. Being, as I say, a pretty conservative fellow, I have refrained, for the most part, over the years, from extracting a large measure of revenge or retribution for the unethical and illegal TravestiesOfJustice that I have been subjected to by various CanadianAuthorities. Having gone to great lengths to act with reason and civility in the face of oppression and persecution for quite some length of time, and at considerable personal expense to both my finances and my psyche, I can see no reason to have any qualms of conscience in regard to henceforth requiring AThousandEyesForAnEye (TM) as a BalanceOfPayments for acts of thievery and illegality against my person by ArmedCanadianGovernmentThugs. Naturally, if anyone feels that they can offer good, solid advice in regard to why it might be more ethical or justified for me to just keep on TakingItInTheAssTimeAndTimeAgain without complaint or retribution, then I would be more than happy to forward them some advice I received from S.M. Halloran, who works as a Biochemical Researcher at a Spooky Drug Laboratory in AssassAnkara, Turkey: _________________________________________________________________ * To: cypherpunks(a)Algebra.COM * From: "S.

Mitch Halloran Research (Bio)chemist Duzen Laboratories Group AssassAnkara TURKE mitch(a)duzen.com.tr _________________________________________________________________ I have been following, with great mirth, a current thread on the CPUNX list which expresses great concern over the possible implications to the issues of freedom and privacy by the plans of the Russian Government and/or Military implimenting a StateOfTheArt Monitoring/Surveillance System designed to make BigWolfInBigGrandmothersClothing's ears very, very large indeed. [WAS: "The better to hear EveryOneAndEveryThing with."] I find it interesting that there should be such great concern over the possibility of EvilThings happening in Russia that are already happening in AmeriKaKa, when few Citizens or NetIzens in this country seem to be inclined to actually *do* anything in regard to making an effort to hold accountable those involved in the unethical and criminal persecution of our own DigitalPrisonersOfWar behind Amerika's ElectroMagnetic Curtain. What reason is their to be 'concerned' about matters that one is going to submissively submit to like a LemmingLamb waiting to rush over the cliff and into the BigMouthBigTeeth of BigBrother? James Dalton Bell got RailRoaded, ScrewedBluedAndTattoo'd, SetUp, Fucked Over, and SoldDownTheFuckingRiver for the diabolical crime of openly discussing the same types of concepts and issues that our Founding Fathers wrote about (although they were taking their medication regularly and had the good sense to publish much of their work via anonymous reprinters). ALunaticWhoLooksALotLikeMe got HisorHer computers, and those of family members, confiscated, HisOrHer Sympatico WebSite deleted, and subjected to the threat of years of imprisonment, as a result of putting up an 'RCMP HATE PAGE' parody dedicated the belief that making fun of Dudley DoRight's abuse, persecution and murder of human beings of Native American ancestry was less of a crime than the actual performance of those types of criminal misdeeds. Unless one is prepared to actually take action to prevent the abuse of authority, and to hold those responsible for high-handed, unethical and illegal actions against the Citizens, then the process of 'discussion' on these issues is mere Philosophical Masturbation. The rEvolution is NOW! All that really needs to be said, is "BOOM!" NEWS FLASH!!! If, after someone ButtFucks you, you give them a really great BlowJob, they don't have a whole lot of incentive not to do it again. If the CriminalFuckers are incapable of understanding that "NO Means NO" then perhaps they are capable of understanding that "BOOM Means NO." The willingness of WeTheSheeple to submissivly submit to the atrocious lies, abuses, criminal and unethical behavior of the Rulers&Contollers can be explained, to my mind, by nothing other than BrainWashing. The Truth (TM) of the matter is, the ThugsAndThieves who are in control of this and other countries, are, for the most part, GutLessCowards who are capable of maintaining their intrusive and excessive hold over the lives of the citizenry only by virtue of OrganizedMobRuleOfForce over a ComplacentCitizenry. Upon losing the support system of OfficiallyAuthorizedOrganizedCrime, most of these GutLessCowards fold like a BustedFlush. On the extremely rare occassions where the GutLessCowards are called to account for their criminal behavior and abuse of power, They turn in mass fear on one another, until they have spilled enough of each other's blood, and hacked off enough internal heads, that the citizens are appeased. et the MindsOfTheMasses have become so controlled by the PuppetMasters that, after brief displays of sanity and integrity, they again accept the dichotomic exhortations of the LeftOverLiars&Thieves that everything is now "Different/BackToNormal." "We stopped destroying the minds of unwitting victims of our criminal mind-control experiments esterDay (TM). The IRS is going to cease engaging in high-handed, unethical abuse of the citizens Tomorrow (TM)." The Reason The Government Is Incapable of Dealing With The Present: "The rEvolution is NOW!" "The President you elected has been murdered, but you will not be allowed to know why, or by whom. That is TopSecret information that can only be accessed by those who may have been involved in his murder." "We don't have the time or resources to bring to Justice all of the important and politically connected people who became grotesquely rich while illegally draining BillionsOfDollars from the Savings and Loan system, but we *do* have the time and resources to imprison millions of DarkSkinnedAmericans (and a few LightSkinnedAmericans) for willingly ingesting pharmecutical substances which our own agents illegally put into the bodies of *unwilling* people, without a single one of them being subject to criminal proceedings, even when their actions caused the death of their unwitting victims." "es, we Fucked Jim Bell Silly! So the fuck what? "We got away with it, didn't we? So you can bet your sweet ass that we're going to do it again, and again, at any time we please, and to whoever we please. "If you DumbSchmucks want to sit by placidly while we pick you off OneAtATime, then it doesn't really matter that we're GutLessCowardlyFucks, does it?"
