From: roc@xpresso.seaslug.org (Bill Vance) Subject: FCC Public File Auto-FAQ Date: 01 Nov 2000 00:59:57 PST This "FAQ" is auto-posted once a month via cron triggered script, and may be triggered off by hand from time to time in between if the info is requested by someone, such as when the House recently voted down the AW Ban and the Media threw a hissy fit. The purpose of this FAQ is to inform people what they can do about Media generated lies and misinformation. While the FCC only handles Broadcast Media, (TV and Radio), some of these techniques will work for magazines and newspapers too. If I've missed something, or you find errors, let me know and I'll add/fix it. 1.a. Send letters of complaint to the Station Manager every time it happens with all the time, details, other info, and your complaint(s). 1.b. Send an additional copy for their FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Public file. 1.c. Send an additional copy to the FCC itself, in case they don't put it in their Public file. 2.a. Send a letter of complaint to their Station Owner as per above, with copies as per above (1.b and 1.c). 3. Send copies of their replies to you along with yours to them to their FCC Public file, so that it gets nice and fat, again, with copies to the FCC itself. 4. If you can afford it, send all corespondence by Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested. Send a copy of the Return Receipt with everything that goes to the FCC itself, so that they will have additional evidence if the Station is cheating on their Public File. 5.a. Go to the Public Library and look up "Standard Rate and Data Services" (SRDS) "Directory of National Advertisers." It is found in many major Libraries (in the business/reference stacks), and lists EVERY current advertiser, who the players are at both the company and advertising agency(s), and the appropriate telephone and fax (and probably E-Mail by now) addresses. If your Library doesn't have it, it can be requested. Otherwise you can watch their commercials for a few days to a week, listing all their advertisers. There are other references that have the addresses for the nation's business headquarters too. look them all up and pass the addresses and phone/FAX numbers etc., around so that everyone can bitch to the sponsors. IF enough people do that, it'll get back to the Station. Tell them if the Station continues their nastiness you'll _consider_ changing to brand(X), (otherwise they'll just write you off as a loss). 5.b. The above, (5.a.), can be a lot easier and less time consuming if you're dealing with a newspaper's or a magazine's ads, as they are right in front of you for the listing. 6. If they put on something good or even just more reasonable, call and compliment them on it, but do _not_ send any kudos to their FCC file, or write to them about it. That way they have to keep it up and hope, as there is nothing good in the file or in writing that they can show the FCC to justify their Station's License. 7.

Chretien linked to Chinese agents Here's a 'spook' story just in time for Halloween! The Report (formerly Alberta Report) newsmagazine says that Sidewinder, a joint RCMP-CSIS operation, revealed links between PM Chretien's family and Chinese agents. Sidewinder's secret interim report, "Chinese Intelligence Services and Triads Financial Links in Canada," was issued in 1997. This report was suppressed, and all copies were ordered destroyed, as were all background materials. Alas for the Liberals, some copies of Sidewinder's report survived and have reached press organizations, including The Report. -- http://www.report.ca/missed/p15i001106f.html Li Ka-Shing, a Chinese tycoon, is a central figure in this story. Mr. Li is a director of the Beijing-controlled China International Trust Investment Company (CITIC), which has "developed...close business links with Power Corporation." Andr=E9 Desmarais, Prime Minister Chretien's son-in-law, is president and co-chief executive officer of Power Corporation. Li Ka-Shing's son Richard bought 50.1% of Gordon Capital in 1985, where Jean Chretien was a senior adviser from 1986 to 1990. (Compare the dates.) So, who is Li Ka-Shing? Here's a report from the New Australian which fills in some of the blanks. "Li Ka-Shing, the PLA's front man, eyes Australia," by Peter Zhang "[N]ot every Chinese civilian company is an instrument of the Ministry of State Security or the PLA. But Li is." -- http://www.newaus.com.au/aatempli.html As far as I know, no major media have yet picked up the Sidewinder story. They've all been too busy wondering why PM Chretien was in such a rush to call an election, and so they should.

The Drudge Report is reporting that in "China Threat," best-selling author "Bill Gertz is preparing to unleash top classified reports that detail Communist China's vast efforts to undermine and destroy the United States." Classified papers from the FBI, CIA and NSA reveal that a major Chinese mole at the highest levels of the U.S. government named "Ma" has never been found. Drudge also notes that Gertz published details of "a classified Chinese government document, known as Document 65, [that] reveals that China is willing to attack the United States with nuclear weapons if U.S. forces intervene to defend Taiwan in a regional conflict." The book has already caused waves in the White House, and the administration may take legal action for the release of classified documents in the new book.

These acts are acts of war!!!=0D

=0D

What=0D country allows foreign military personnel to cross their border and= shoot at their=0D citizens and government agents without retaliation? Only the United= States!!

=0D

Our rul= ing political class is=0D allowing the Mexican military to attack our citizens and law enforc= ement agents with=0D complete immunity. If a group of U.S. citizens attacked federal law= officers with=0D high-powered military weapons, the ruling political class would sto= p at nothing to catch=0D them and make an example of them.

Most Am= ericans don't know what is=0D happening on our southern border. The elite press is not reporting = the violence and the=0D crimes that are rampant there. Nor are they reporting the lack of r= esponse from our=0D political class.

The U.S= =2E is being invaded by a=0D foreign nation, but we sit idle, and refuse to respond. Our politic= al class sends our=0D military around the world to intrude in the internal politics of ot= her nations, and to=0D protect the borders of other countries, but will not use our milita= ry to protect our own=0D borders from an invasion.=

=0D

Neither= the Republicans, nor the=0D Democrats are speaking out against this violence, or against these = military attacks. Our=0D government leaders are hiding their heads in the sand and ignoring = the problem. Bill=0D Clinton isn't doing anything to protect the nation, and Congress is= silent on the subject.

It's ti= me for the citizens to demand=0D some action. It's time to ask our Senators and Representatives why = nothing is being done=0D about this invasion. It's time to ask George Bush and Al Gore what = they plan to do about=0D it if they are elected. <= /p>=0D

The onl= y way we are going to put a=0D stop to this is to demand our government take action. The citizens = need to express their=0D outrage and hold the political class accountable.

If the = Mexican military wants a=0D fight, let's give them one they won't forget.

Silver" Subject: How to be a good Democrat (rebuttal to Ann Richards) Date: 02 Nov 2000 10:09:51 -0800 Here's the other side's response: HOW TO BE A GOOD DEMOCRAT By Steve Silver 1. You have to believe the nation's economic prosperity was due to the work of Clinton and not the Republican Congress (which actually wrote the budgets), and that the preceding 40 years of Democratic tax-and-spend policies had nothing to do with running up a $6 trillion national debt. 2. You have to believe that when you die, the government has not only the right, but the obligation, to take everything you worked hard for and give it to someone other than your kids. 3. You have to be in favor of all government programs, but still pay lip service to supporting =93individual rights.=94 4. You have to believe that practicing high-risk sexual behavior has nothing to do with transmitting AIDS or other STDs. 5. You also have to believe the government has the right and obligation to regulate what people smoke and eat, but that insurance companies should not be able to raise the premiums of people who engage in high-risk sexual practices. 6. You also have to believe that people who smoke tobacco or eat red meat should suffer the consequences of their actions, but people who engage in wanton or high-risk sex should not. 7. You have to believe that the mere presence of a gun makes an otherwise good person become a vicious murderer. 8. You also have to believe that disarming the victims will somehow reduce violent crime. 9. You have to believe...everything Clinton, Gore, Jesse Jackson and Ted Kennedy say. 10. You have to believe there is no cost to our country or its economy in allowing illegal immigration to continue unchecked. 11. You have to believe it is okay to kill an innocent unborn baby, even in the last trimester via a =93partial birth abortion,=94 but oppose the death penalty for convicted murderers. 12. You have to believe it is not okay to deny a job to a person because of his race if he is black or Hispanic, but it is okay to deny him a job because of his race if he is white. 13. You also have to be willing to ignore the fact that 40 years of affirmative action have done nothing other than lower expectations of minority members...and make Jesse Jackson wealthy. 14. You have to believe it is okay for the government to tell you how to use your own property just because an =93endangered=94 rat or fly was found living on it. 15. You have to oppose prayer in school, then wonder why kids are growing up without any moral compass these days. 16. You also have to oppose voluntary, student-led prayer at school, and still claim to support the First Amendment. 17. You have to believe President Clinton=92s bald-face lies to the American people (=93I did not have sex with that woman...Miss Lewinsky=94), his li= es while under oath, his extra-marital affairs, his sexual harassment of female subordinates (as president and governor of Arkansas), his betrayal of his vows to his wife and daughter, his acceptance of thinly disguised bribes from the Chinese government do not, in any way, affect his credibility when speaking to the American people about living moral lives. 18. You also have to believe that even with his long history of sexually harassing younger, vulnerable female subordinates, he is still =93good on women=92s issues.=94 19. You have to believe Hispanic kids should be taught in Spanish, then wonder why they don=92t do as well in life as Hispanic kids who learn English. 20. You have to oppose teaching abstinence at schools and believe that giving out condoms is okay, but then wonder why there is an astronomically high teen pregnancy rate. 19. You have to believe government bureaucrats in Washington D.C. are somehow better at running your business and life than you are. 20. You must also believe the government should regulate and control private business, even though the Army spent $784 for an $8 wrench. 21. You believe in God and the Bible, you just want to edit out the parts which require you to live a clean, moral life and remain faithful to your spouse. 22. You have to believe that the government=92s incineration of 20 kids and 60 of their parents at Waco was a legitimate use of its police power. 23.

Now we are engaged in a great war, testing whether that tax system, or any tax system so complicated and so burdensome, can long endure. We meet this election on a great battlefield of that war - the ballot box. We dedicate a portion of this election to those candidates who risked their political careers that tax relief and tax reform might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this election. The brave men and women, living and dead, who struggled for an end to the marriage penalty and the death tax - who have fought for a flat tax or national sales tax - have consecrated it far above our poor power to itemize deductions or claim the Investment Tax Credit. The world will little note, nor long remember what Al Gore has said about targeted tax relief for the "right people," but it will never forget that he was the tie-breaking vote for the largest tax increase in the history of the world. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work of across-the-board tax cuts and tax simplification which they who fought in the halls of Congress have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from all those vetoed tax cuts by Bill Clinton we take increased devotion to that cause for which many Republicans gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead tax cut bills shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God (uh-oh, here comes the ACLU!) and a newly-elected President George W. Bush, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that this income tax system of the bureaucrat, by the bureaucrat, for the bureaucrat, shall perish from the earth, with a stake driven through its heart so that it shall never rise to prey upon and terrorize the American taxpayer again (with all due credit to Steve Forbes).

Margi Article: Doctor's Group Opposes Vaccine Mandates http://www.healthmall.com/newsletter.cfm A leading national physician organization is calling for a moratorium on all government mandated vaccines and has passed a resolution to that end at their annual meeting. Members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) voted this week at their 57th Annual Meeting in St. Louis to pass a resolution calling for an end to mandatory childhood vaccines. The resolution passed without a single "no" vote. (Resolution and mandatory vaccine fact sheet posted at www.aapsonline.org) "Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects from mandated vaccines that arenīt necessary or that have very limited benefits," said Jane M. Orient, MD, AAPS Executive Director. "This is not a vote against vaccines," said Dr. Orient. "This resolution only attempts to halt blanket vaccine mandates by government agencies and school districts that give no consideration for the rights of the parents or the individual medical condition of the child." Forty-two states have mandatory vaccine policies, and many children are required to have 22 shots before first grade. On top of that, as a condition for school attendance, many school districts require vaccination for diseases such as hepatitis B -- primarily an adult disease, usually spread by multiple sex partners, drug abuse or an occupation with exposure to blood. And yet, children under the age of 14 are three times more likely to suffer adverse effects -- including death -- following the hepatitis b vaccine than to catch the disease itself. Just last week, students in Utica, NY were sent home from school, and told they could not return until they had been forced to receive hep B vaccinations. Further, parents were threatened by Child Protective Services with possible seizure of their children based on "education neglect." "Itīs obscene to threaten to seize a child just because his parents refuse medical treatment that is obviously unnecessary and perhaps even dangerous," said Dr. Orient. "AAPS believes that parents, with the advice of their doctors, should make decisions about their childrenīs medical care -- not government bureaucrats [------------------------- end of forwarded message ------------------------] -- RKBA! ***** Blessings On Thee, Oh Israel! ***** RKBA! ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- An _EFFECTIVE_ | Insured | All matter is vibration. | Let he who hath no weapon in every | by COLT; | -- Max Plank | weapon sell his hand = Freedom | DIAL | In the beginning was the | garment and buy a on every side! | 1911-A1. | word. -- The Bible | sword.--Jesus Christ ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- Constitutional Government is dead, LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!!!!! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: roc@xpresso.seaslug.org (Bill Vance) Subject: International computer-crime treaty threatens computer privacy (fwd) Date: 04 Nov 2000 09:34:28 PST On Nov 4, Privacy News Update wrote: [-------------------- text of forwarded message follows --------------------] =============================================================== Privacy News Update: International computer-crime treaty represents an "all-out attack on computer privacy" and should be rejected by the Senate =============================================================== The so-called "Draft Convention On Cybercrime" -- the first international computer crime agreement -- is currently being negotiated by the United States and the 41-nation Council of Europe.

"This treaty doesn't attack crime," he said. "Instead, it attacks privacy, the Fifth Amendment, and certain kinds of software -- while giving the government awesome new powers to cybersnoop on innocent Americans." The so-called "Draft Convention On Cybercrime" -- the first international computer crime agreement -- is currently being negotiated by the United States and the 41-nation Council of Europe. The treaty, which went through 19 drafts before the Justice Department revealed its existence earlier this year, could be finalized as soon as December, reported Wired.com. However, the U.S. Senate, which must approve all international treaties, should reject it outright, said Browne. "This treaty is just the latest example of politicians trying to prove they are tough on crime," he said. "As usual, they want to give bureaucrats and law enforcement new powers to appear to be fighting crime. And, as usual, it is innocent Americans who will bear the brunt of these new police powers." For example, the treaty would: * Give law enforcement the power to order Americans to reveal a computer password or encryption key -- in apparent violation of the Fifth Amendment's protection against self- incrimination. * Require Internet service providers (ISPs) to conduct real-time surveillance of customers' e-mail messages, at government request. In July, the FBI admitted it had already created a cybersnooping device code-named "Carnivore" that could scan millions of e-mails a second. * Effectively abolish anonymous e-mail by requiring "remailer" websites (which automatically distribute messages after stripping out the sender's name and return address) to collect information about their users. * Require ISPs to store at least 40 days worth of customer data, including e-mails, chat-room transcripts, and website visits, for possible review by the government. * Make illegal certain kinds of common software -- including network security utilities used by computer technicians -- on the grounds that it could be criminally misused by hackers. Although some of those provisions may be dropped in negotiations, Justice Department officials have privately said it is too late to make "major" changes to the treaty, according to the Wall Street Journal. That's why the U.S. Senate should reject the entire document, said Browne. "This treaty was negotiated in secret, with the approval of the same politicians who supported the Communications Decency Act, Know Your Customer, anti-encryption laws, the FBI's Carnivore system, the Clipper Chip, and innumerable other attacks on your privacy," he said. "And this treaty may be even worse than those previous anti-privacy initiatives because it globalizes the government's power to spy on you. "If the U.S. Senate cares about privacy, the civil liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, and the Constitutional limitations on government, it will unanimously reject this Draft Convention On Cybercrime." But for individual Americans concerned about privacy, the problem is bigger than this one treaty, said Browne. "Unfortunately, stopping this treaty won't stop the relentless attacks on your civil liberties, because the same Republican and Democratic politicians will remain in power," he said. "Neither of those parties is dedicated to preserving an airtight individual right to privacy. Only the Libertarian Party is." That's why your vote on November 7 may be the most powerful pro-privacy statement you can make, said Browne. "Libertarians understand that we can't stop government snooping by fighting every new intrusion on your privacy," he said. "Our opponents will win too many of those battles, and government will get more and more intrusive. "Instead, we must fight to take completely away from government the power to enter any area of your life for which it has no explicit Constitutional authority. And the only way to accomplish that is by voting Libertarian." =============================================================== DefendYourPrivacy.com http://www.lp.org =============================================================== [------------------------- end of forwarded message ------------------------] -- RKBA! ***** Blessings On Thee, Oh Israel! ***** RKBA! ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- An _EFFECTIVE_ | Insured | All matter is vibration. | Let he who hath no weapon in every | by COLT; | -- Max Plank | weapon sell his hand = Freedom | DIAL | In the beginning was the | garment and buy a on every side! | 1911-A1. | word. -- The Bible | sword.--Jesus Christ ----------------+----------+--------------------------+--------------------- Constitutional Government is dead, LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!!!!! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: roc@xpresso.seaslug.org (Bill Vance) Subject: Overwhelmingly Republican military not getting to vote (fwd) Date: 04 Nov 2000 12:57:16 PST On Nov 4, shezza@aol.com wrote: [-------------------- text of forwarded message follows --------------------] Well of COURSE the White House denies it.

George Bush's 1976 DUI arrest record, has come forward with his firsthand account of a wild night in 1971 that featured sex, booze, guns, drugs and presidential candidate Al Gore. In an e-mail to Nashville talk radio host Phil Valentine Thursday night, Pastor Ray Hudson cited an episode where Gore, while a reporter for the city's Tennessean newspaper, was assigned to do a story on the Death Angels, a notorious local motorcyle gang. Pastor Hudson, who now ministers to the homeless, was a Death Angels member in good standing at the time - and tipped Valentine that Gore's research for the story included spending a night with the gang. During the hours between dusk and dawn, the vice president got drunk, smoked pot, shot a club member's gun and had sex with one of the club's girls, the biker-turned-minister contended. Hudson said that what he saw flies in the face of Gore's family man image (Gore had married Tipper 18 months earlier), making his campaign's attempt to smear Bush over a DUI ticket even more outrageuous. On Friday, Pastor Hudson went public with his story on Valentine's WLAC talk radio show. VALENTINE: Now, tell me what happened when he came to do the interview with you guys. HUDSON: Well, he hung around a couple of days and we wanted some good press so we treated him well. He spent one night with us, or a big part of the night, partying with us. And during that party he smoked dope with us, he drank a lot. We had a door there that had some weird trim up over the door and we took a couple of pot shots at it and... VALENTINE: With a gun. HUDSON: With a pistol. VALENTINE: Al Gore was shooting a gun inside of a home? HUDSON: Yes. It was an illegal firearm, even back then. VALENTINE: OK. HUDSON: And he missed. He's not a straight shooter. (VALENTINE CHUCKLES) HUDSON: The reason that I had, you know, contacted you to begin with was that, you know, he portrayed himself, as I seen it on the national convention, back about that time they showed pictures of him and his family, he's been this great family guy, great husband and all of that. That night, other than the things I already mentioned, he was given one of the club girls there and took her into another room. VALENTINE: Now, this was in November of 1971. It needs to be noted that Al Gore and Tipper Gore got married May 19th of 1970. HUDSON: Yeah. VALENTINE: So, he'd been married about a year and a half. HUDSON: Yeah. VALENTINE: He gets one of the biker girls and goes to the back room and has his way with her. HUDSON: Yeah. VALENTINE: So, this is the Al Gore that is now, his campaign is throwing this mud at George W. Bush for getting a DUI in 1976? This guy's smokin' dope with a motorcycle gang and going back in the back with a biker chick in one of the back rooms? HUDSON: Yes, well, you know, everybody deserves a blast from the past sometimes and this is his. I didn't want to, 'til this DUI came out I had thought about it but I said 'naw, I'm just not gonna say anything.' Then when this came out about a DUI and making such a big deal out of it on the news, I said 'well, I'm gonna, you know, let somebody know about it, anyway.' VALENTINE: By the way, I read the piece he wrote on the Death Angels. It is a puff piece. HUDSON: Oh, yeah. It was great. We loved it. We bought a good article there. VALENTINE: No kidding! All you had to do was supply him with a girl and some dope and let him shoot your gun a couple of times and the guy writes a puff piece for you in the Tennessean. HUDSON: You know, I'm sure we all have some things we have we wish we hadn't done. I don't know how he is now. I don't know him now other than what I see on TV and some of the stories he tells. But I do know this is one incident I know about firsthand. VALENTINE: And this goes hand-in-hand with what John Warnecke, who was a friend at the Tennessean, a fellow reporter, has told us on several occasions that has not been reported by the national press. HUDSON: Well, you know, I think that it's a shame that people try to make a big deal out of something that isn't but then ignore some more serious things in the news and it just seems, well, one-sided to me. I think both sides need to be heard. VALENTINE: Well, I would say that smoking dope, shooting an illegal firearm in a house and bedding down with a biker chick when you're married trumps a DUI any day. Valentine told NewsMax.com Saturday that Gore's Tennessean report on the Death Angels includes quotes from two of the motorcycle gang's women. "As evening passed into morning, Cortez was saying...," Gore wrote, revealing that he'd spent at least several of the overnight hours in her company. A recent revelation by Gore himself suggests that he indeed did have a taste for the motorcycle gang lifestyle. Just last week he told talk show host Queen Latifah that in his younger days he enjoyed playing drinking games, riding his own motorcycle and outrunning police. Since Hudson's revelation on Friday, the mainstream press has ignored the story and the Gore campaign has had no comment. But on the campaign trail, Gore allies continue to pound away on the Bush DUI story. Gore backer former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey engaged in some particularly ugly rhetoric Saturday, telling party faithful at a campaign stop: "[Bush] didn't want to tell us the truth. He said, 'I didn't want to tell you the truth because I was concerned about my daughters.' Governor, you remind me of that old song of Willie Nelson's - 'Who you gonna believe, you gonna believe me or your lyin' eyes?' Governor, we're gonna believe our eyes." "You're covering your rear end. You're protecting yourself," Kerrey shouted to the crowd. Advt: Race is tight. You can help Bush in last ditch effort to get out vote. CLICK HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

The news could be good for pro-life advocates who have decried the killing of unborn children to obtain stem cells for research. Researchers have previously claimed stem cells from unborn children provided better results in the research. The study by researchers at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey shows for the first time that, with the proper experimental growth factors, stem cells isolated from adult bone marrow can convert into neurons quickly and can be grown in almost unlimited supply. Moreover, animal experiments show that these cells can be successfully transplanted into the spinal cord and brain, where the cells appear to survive and connect to other neurons, the researchers said. The discovery raises the prospect that people in need of treatment one day might be able to donate their own cells to repair crucial nerve tissue damaged by stroke, disease or injury, eliminating any need for powerful drugs to suppress the recipient's immune system "We were somewhat overwhelmed," said lead researcher Dr. Ira Black, who is head of Robert Wood Johnson's neuroscience department. Bone marrow "appears to be a robust source of cells. There may be a variety of [other] easily accessible sources of cells that can generate neurons." In a similar laboratory advance reported Sunday, researchers led by Fred H. Gage at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla grew neural cells from human tissue donated after death from people up to 72 years old. Two other independent laboratory experiments indicate that neural cells can even be grown from skin and scalp tissue from living donors. "The research shows that the [cadaver] tissue could be a new, noncontroversial source of human neural cells for transplantation and experimentation," said Gage. Federally funded embryo research was effectively banned until last August. Then the Clinton administration ruled that publicly funded experiments could be conducted on the about 150,000 human embryos left behind at fertility clinics, provided that federal money is not used to actually destroy the unborn children. The age at which the stem cells were harvested, however, did appear to make a crucial difference. Adult stem cells are biologically less potent than embryo cells. Cells cultivated from older donors did not last as long in the laboratory as those taken from younger donors, nor did they divide and multiply as efficiently. "Clearly the cells that are younger divide more easily," Gage said. "There is no substitute for youth, at least so far." The findings were presented Sunday at the Society for Neuroscience in New Orleans, which represents 28,000 scientists who study the biology of the brain.

I first reported in this column Monday that a young Guatemalan woman legally residing in Los Angeles County who received the "Clinton card" last week turned it over to me. Since she never registered to vote, I wondered out loud how Clinton's California Democrats happened to target her. It struck me -- and those the young woman lives with -- that perhaps the Immigration and Naturalization Service database had been misused for political purposes the way so many other government files have been abused during the Clinton years. The evidence is mounting that this may, indeed, be evidence of one of the largest and highest-level political dirty tricks ever conducted in these United States. The California Democratic Party, which paid for the mailer, continues to claim that information about recipients was taken from voter files. However, WorldNetDaily staff writer Julie Foster confirmed that the woman is not registered to vote and therefore does not have a voter file, raising serious questions as to the party's information source. According to CNN reporter Mark Marino, Democratic Party officials denied even the existence of the mailer, which is reproduced here for the world to see. Though the young woman in question does have a driver's license, Department of Motor Vehicles records are sealed for privacy purposes, meaning the Democrats could not have obtained their information from that agency. Nor could the party legally have obtained pertinent information, such as her address and birth date, from the 20-year-old's confidential student record at the community college she attends in the Los Angeles area. INS records are also sealed -- supposedly. Tim Morgan, California's Republican National Committeeman and an election law attorney, was hard-pressed to think of a legal source the CDP could have used to obtain the Guatemalan woman's address and birth date. "This is the stuff congressional investigations are made of," he said. "It's not clear to me at all how this could have happened. From the Dornan case, we know really how protected this information is. One is left to speculate." Well, allow me to do some speculating. The Clinton administration has, for the better part of eight years, used government databases to target enemies with Internal Revenue Service audits, FBI investigations, threats, intimidation and blackmail. Is it such a stretch to believe members of that same ultra-politicized administration would have pulled a few strings to get INS records to the California Democrats. With a track record like that, I'd be shocked if they didn't. But the bigger issue raised by this scam is the issue of electoral integrity. And the reality is there is no such thing in America, any more. Think about these motor-voter laws that render poll watchers impotent. They are not legally permitted to demand identification as long as voters' names appear on the rolls. As WorldNetDaily has reported, even obviously fraudulent names cannot be challenged. Even when a prospective California voter shows up, and there is no matching name on the voting rolls, poll workers must permit the vote to take place. It can only be challenged after the fact -- after the votes are counted. Folks, there are a lot of people patting themselves on the back today because of the election results. Not me. No matter what the results were on Election Day, I would still be madder than heck today because the sanctity of the American vote has been compromised. Sometimes process is as important or more important than results. And the voting process in America has become corrupt. Most Americans may not give all this another thought for two more years or four more years. That would be unfortunate. Because if this kind of corruption goes unpunished, you can rest assured it will be worse the next time. Are you going to be one of those people who sits back and forgets about what happened here now that the election is over? Personally, I think Tim Morgan is right. This is the stuff of which congressional investigations are made. I know. I know. Congress has done nothing with mounting scandals for eight years. But maybe -- just maybe -- some members got a wakeup call this time. It's worth a try. Got any better ideas? Your new officials in Washington will be waiting to hear from you.

If Bush is declared the winner in Florida this will come to be known as a "stolen" election and Bush's presidency will be designated as "invalid." If Gore is declared the winner the media and the Democrats will call it a "victory for democracy" and will say that the "system worked." THE DEMOCRATS WILL NOT ACCEPT THE RECOUNT . .. unless, of course, the recount favors Gore. The Gore Campaign has already retained the services of one of Florida's most powerful law firms to file legal challenges to this election. The center of the challenge is going to be in Palm Beach County, Georgia. The basis for the challenge? The Democrats just can't believe that this many voters actually voted for Pat Buchanan in Palm Beach. In effect, the Democrats are saying "Hey. Those people couldn't have possibly voted for Buchanan! Those are our type of voters! Everybody knows they should have voted for Gore! We want their votes thrown out!" Not bad, huh? You get to challenge an election on the basis that people didn't vote the way you expected them to vote. Didn't Milosovitch just try that ploy over there in Yugoslavia? LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE PALM BEACH BALLOTS This is going to be the Democrats last stand. This is where they are going to make their case that Gore should have been given the Electoral votes from Florida. It's that now infamous Palm Beach County ballot. Here are some things for you to ponder about this ballot: * At least 96% of the people were not confused by the ballot * The ballot was designed by a Democratic Party official * The people of Palm Beach County had an opportunity to view the ballot and comment on it before the election. No objections were entered. * The Florida Democratic Party approved the ballot before the vote. Come on, folks. Look at the damned thing. There's an arrow ... and that arrow is CLEARLY pointing to a hole. There is no ambiguity as to which hold it's pointing to. If you went up to any second grader in this country -- even those in government schools -- and told that second grader to "put the little pin in the hole next to arrow number 5" there would be no problem. The rude truth to the matter is that you have to be an absolute idiot not to be able to cast your vote properly with this ballot. Now we have hree Palm Beach voters have filed lawsuits. They are saying that they were confused and cast their vote for the wrong person. OK ... fine. Here's your problem. There is NO WAY that any of these plaintiffs can prove that they miss-cast their votes. There is absolutely no way to match any ballot to any voter. In other words -- there is no way that any of these voters can prove their claim. Would someone please tell me how the courts can resolve any claim for a person who cannot prove that they have been wronged? Hey -- you know what? I think I won the Big 5 jackpot last weekend. I was confused by the ballot form you fill out to select your lottery numbers. I just know that I entered all five of the numbers and the jackpot number as well. I want a chance to fill out my little lottery card again so I can correct these numbers. My entire future is at stake here. I should have several million dollars in my bank account right now! I need that money to pay for health care and my retirement. This is too serious a situation to be ignored, and I'm thinking of hiring a lawyer! There's more. The Democrats are screaming that there is no way Buchanan could have received this many votes in Palm Beach County. They cite the fact that Broward County, immediately to the South, only saw around 100 votes for Buchanan vs. the 3,407 votes in Palm Beach. Well ----here's what you probably haven't heard in the media. According to the Florida supervisor of elections, Broward County has only 189 members of the Independent Party - Florida's Reform party. However, in Palm Beach County there are well over 14,000 members of the Independent Party. As a matter of fact, Palm Beach County has the highest Independent registration in Florida. Oops! Well that certainly puts things in a different light, doesn't it? WILL ANY ELECTORS CHANGE THEIR VOTES? As CNN's Jeff Greenfield said . the potential here for mischief is incredible. A lot of pundits are exploring the possibility that one of the Electors might decide to cast his vote for the "other guy" when they meet to cast their Electoral votes on December 18th. Greenfield suggested that some Elector might get the word to one candidate or another suggesting that his vote might be changed in exchange for a good government appointment, a highway, etc. Get this --- I've even seen some of the Democratic Electors in Florida openly challenging Republican Electors to "do the right thing" and to cast their votes for Gore if there is any question of voting irregularities. LET'S ASK THOSE WHO KNOW IT ALL How about the students? What are we thinking? We need to ask college and university students what to do! Let's take advantage of these people at the very time in their lives that they know everything! This morning I saw a picture of one of these wonderfully informed and all-knowing students carrying a sign that said "Bush Concede - Abolish the Electoral College." Let's take advantage of this immense well of solid knowledge before the reality of life sets in on these fine young minds. ONE DEMOCRATIC PLOY OUT IN THE OPEN "Honorable." That's the word. "Honorable." If Bush wins the recount in Florida, and thus the presidency, the spin will be that it just wouldn't be honorable for Bush to claim the presidency in light of Gore's lead in the popular vote. I first heard the word used in a press conference yesterday. Florida Governor Jeb Bush was answering questions about the recount process. He was asked if it would be "honorable" for his brother to serve as president even though he lost the popular vote. Well, golly! Let's think about this for a while. Obviously the Democrats feel that Clinton has served his country "honorably" during the past eight years . thus we can assume that it would be "honorable" for a president to continue in office: Perjury Obstruction of justice Affair with intern Lying to the American people Violating his oath of office But the inference is that it would be "dishonorable" for a president to serve in office pursuant to the strict dictates of our Constitution as it regards the Electoral College. Yeah --- makes perfect sense to me. A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS --- NOT! Reporters asked this question of Warren Christopher yesterday afternoon. They wanted to know if this was a Constitutional crisis. Why? Why ask the question at all? The Constitution is working exactly as it was supposed to work. There are no questions as to what to do next. There are no uncertainties as to how this process is to go forward. You determine the vote in Florida, and the Florida electors cast their Electoral votes. It's just that simple. A president-elect is chosen. Just where in the hell is the Constitutional crisis? Consider this. Is it possible that some biased reporters are actually trying to create that crisis through their questions? "FOUND" BALLOT BOXES Would someone please tell me just why most of those mysterious "found" ballot boxes in Florida are being found in precincts that vote heavily Democratic? Just wondering. CREATE A SENSE OF PANIC AND HYSTERIA Obviously, that's the Democratic game plan when it comes to Palm Beach County. Create a sense of panic in the minds of the Palm Beach voters .. Convince them that they have been cheated --- that they voted for the wrong people. Did you hear that Democratic attack dog Robert Wexler? He was talking about hundreds of voters crying and wailing in parking lots at polling places after they learned that they had mis-cast their votes. Don't you think that some newsman with a camera could have discovered these weeping and wailing voters on Tuesday, and treated us to a picture? Wexler and that publicity whore and race warlord Jesse Jackson know their assignment well. Create such an aura of voter hysteria that national public opinion will demand a solution - and no solution will do short of a new vote in Palm Beach County. ONCE AGAIN - MEN FOR LIBERTY, WOMEN FOR SECURITY The gender gap in Tuesday's election was 22 percent. Women preferred Gore by an 11 margin and men preferred Bush by an 11 percent margin. The reasoning is clear. The offer of government-provided security is eagerly accepted by women. Liberty means much more to men. The founding fathers had this one right. THIS LISTENER IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT . AND WE ALL KNOW IT This e-mail form a listener --- it's about the voters of Missouri electing a dead guy to serve in the U.S. Senate. CAN YOU IMAGINE if John Ashcroft of Missouri had been a black Democrat, running against a dead Republican, and lost . . . . .HOW FAST would Jesse Jackson be there crying FOUL? It speaks volumes about the character of Ashcroft that he announced that he will not appeal the process, or stand around stating that it doesn't "pass the smell test." HOW RACE FIGURED INTO TUESDAY'S ELECTION The masses spoke on Tuesday. And they spoke in oh-so-predictable ways. Al Gore's appeal to minorities was incredible. About 90 percent of blacks chose Gore over Bush. In Florida, whites favored Bush, 57 percent to 40 percent; but blacks favored Gore, 93 percent to 7 percent. That's part of the reason for the recount. Black votes swung states like Pennsylvania and Michigan towards Gore, too, with numbers similar to Florida. Bottom line: Bush's appeals to the minority voting bloc went nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. Blacks, Hispanics, and others fell into lock-step behind Al Gore, who promised them more goodies and worked hard to validate their coveted victim status in our society. Gore promised them more preferences and more social programs. More free money from the government. He promised to protect them from those mean, nasty white racist Republicans and their corporate bosses. He promised they wouldn't have to worry about taking care of themselves, because the federal government would do it for them. And they fell for it. Nine out of every ten black votes was for Gore. How do you defeat a party that has so masterfully enslaved an entire segment of the population? How do you convince those voters that they're voting to secure their own comfort at the expense of the entire nation? http://www.washtimes.com/national/default-200011922370.htm SO NOW GORE WANTS THE RULE OF LAW Yes, now Al Gore is calling for the rule of law to prevail as votes are recounted in Florida. Yesterday afternoon we heard Gore urge "respect for the rule of law...We now need to resolve this election in a way that is fair and forthright, and in a way that is fully consistent with the Constitution and our laws." Funny how Gore wants to respect the rule of law only when the law has an immediate impact on his future. He and Bill Clinton have been all too happy to flout the rule of law elsewhere--like covering up the Chinese government's financing of the 1996 election, for example. Yet more evidence why Gore should not be president. He calls on the Constitution to prevail only when it's convenient to him. http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2000/11/8/181550 http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2000/11/8/153824 CHECK OUT "ALL EYES ON FLORIDA" ON NEWSMAX.COM Here's a good place for you to keep up with some of the latest in the Florida vote situaiton. http://www.newsmax.com/ Nealz Nuze - Copyright 2000 by Neal Boortz.

Perhaps that explains that upset feeling in your stomach today. This is not to be interpreted to indicate that we advocate such actions, but if what I fear lies ahead, it's best that someone step forward and explain to our posterity how and why we got to this crossroad in America. Regardless of the final result, America's choice will remain deadlocked. There will be no negotiating, as there is too much at stake. The party who is on the verge of losing all power in Washington DC has a track record of ill behavior in vote counting. There has also been a pattern, for at least the last decade, of violent death and destruction that takes place when their authority is threatened. For what it's worth, the so-called "exit poll data" is telling the world who is on which side in this conflict. Rural vs Urban, Young vs Old, Black vs White etc. Gentile vs non-gentile, etc. To put it simply, us against them. No one wants to admit it, no one wants to say it, but that's the way it is. According to the AP "For a watching world, a full day of confusion over the results of the U.S. presidential race was a lesson in democracy's messy glory - or proof that the political system in the world's most powerful nation might just be in need of an overhaul." Well, to the rest of the world, the Associated Press may be right about that "overhaul." The last major overhaul of this type cost us about 600,000 lives back in the 19th century with primitive weaponry. The states where many people's ancestors fought and died for their beliefs in the Constitution led the battle of November 7, 2000 at the ballot box -- showing that no matter what happens, or what you hear on CNN, that battle is not over. In fact, the next phase of this battle has just begun. My prediction: This is GOING to get ugly. Let us now state these facts candidly to the world: We represent the side that has become the victim of "political correctness." We are those who have been called names for simply being who we are. We have been demonized for believing that this nation, and the way it governs, are based on certain principles. We are the ones who pay (by force) the majority of the taxes in this country. We are the ones who have placed the majority of our sons and daughters in harm's way in service of our nation. We have been all but banned from the major media, but they now know we exist. We watched as our basic freedoms were being stolen from us. We fought back. We fought hard. And according to the rules that govern us, we believe we have made a major statement to the world via the ballot box. We have been under assault. Our right of free expression, our right to own property, our right of self-defense and preservation, our right to be governed from our states rather than a federal bureaucracy, and soon, if we do not prevail, our right of adequate representation in our own government. Even our history and that of our ancestors is under attack. The democratic choice that has been made threatens to end (or at least halt) this downward slide. Our adversaries are on the verge of losing all the power they've held over us for the last 40 years. At this time it appears that our adversaries, like tyrants of the past, simply won't accept defeat and are preparing to take steps to take this fight to the next level. We are truly a Nation Divided. Citizens of the World, if our side loses this battle, many of us may not live to see what the outcome will be. We can safely predict that your nations will soon share the same attitude about this nation that many share today -- that it is run by a tyrant, or a beast. You will witness the military and economic power of this nation used against you at the will of a few, not the will of the people. You will be disarmed, disenfranchised, and taught to hate one another. You will be forced to believe that the Government, and not our Creator, is your caretaker and will demand complete control over your lives. We will be vanquished. It is for this reason, that we cannot -- we shall not surrender. We represent a people who believe in a Power Greater than Ourselves. Today, we live with an unsettling fear. Not a fear of what our adversaries will do, but fear of what we may have to do to preserve, protect, and defend our principles, our beliefs, and our posterity. We do not wish this upon ourselves, but many of us fear that our opposition may have removed all other options. America has made its choice. We have chosen to have a "difference of opinion." We have chosen to be divided. For this reason, we ask for your prayers and understanding of what may befall us in the coming days. And to our adversaries -- the enemy camp: It is not the Electoral College that needs to be overhauled. If you cannot agree to the rules as they have been written and to the will of those on our side, then again -- we submit to you an offer of disillusionment. That's right -- another secession. But this time, it's not just Dixie. Over the years, those of us who chose to remove ourselves from the cesspools called "metropolis" have learned what independence means. We are those huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We submit that the State of Washington doesn't need Seattle, Illinois doesn't need Chicago, New York doesn't need New York City, etc. We submit that our children should not be forced to learn what you teach. We submit that our rights to own and defend our property is a right, not a privilege. We submit that "multiculturalism" is not "tolerance", but state-sponsored bigotry against political opposition. We submit that Americans are sovereign by birthright, and that NO man shall ever take that away from us. We submit that if no peaceful solution can be reached, then at least 29 of the 50 sovereign states seek other options. You have tried to silence us, ignore us, demonize us, and even disarm us. Let November 7, 2000 be the day when you have been warned via the ballot box that WE SHALL NOT SURRENDER. Our candidate for president may not have been our first or best choice, but we did choose NOT to be governed by the likes of our opposition. We understand that this campaign has pitted brother against brother, sister against sister, and parent against child, and still does today. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? To our adversaries: We have seen your tactics, we know your strategy. We KNOW you've attempted to deny the right of suffrage to our brethren off our nation's shores and in harm's way. We KNOW you have sought to register those who have not earned the right of suffrage in this country. Still, we prevailed. And we fear that you have little or no plan to simply walk away. If it is war that you are thinking of Eif it is a war that you are planning, let it be known that you will not wage a war against the "unsuspecting." You will name the stakes. You will fire the first shot. You will make the choice. As you have made your positions known to your leaders, we have done likewise. But unlike you, we take orders from a Higher Power, and not from corrupt men. We are as prepared as we were at the end of last year. You have heard our demand. We want our country back. Make no mistake about it - we will and shall continue to use the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and if left with no other choice, the other boxes that you seek to take away from us. As many of us today stand in fear of what may become of us, we cannot and shall not prevail until each of us looks deep within ourselves, understands the crossroad at which we stand, look our adversaries in the eye and say without reservation or hesitation... -- you will have to kill all of us.

Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2000

If America thought it got, in the Elian Gonzalez saga, a bellyful of
lawyers interjecting themselves into a national story and warping
it, thereby traumatizing and polarizing the participants as well as
millions of observers, here is a warning from Elian's former state
of residence: You ain't seen nothing yet.

I have been a lawyer, right here in Florida, for 24 years. I and the
rest of us have seen the artful dodging, the lawyering license, of
this White House's lawyers in the protracted Lewinsky affair. The
residue of that experience should serve as a primer, a wake-up
call after this longest of electoral nights, informing us what will
follow the automatic recount of the votes in Florida.

The call from Gore will be this: Send in the lawyers.

If Bush wins the Florida recount, which he should do, Gore will
get this thing into the court system, state or federal, that he and
his barrister henchmen think will be most favorably predisposed
to challenge counting procedures, poll watchers' complaints, and
voting irregularities that might provide a technical wedge to
challenge the entire voting process in Florida.

In the litigation phase of the Elian affair, a Florida lawyer by the
name of Janet Reno, in league with the president's
impeachment counsel, Greg Craig, similarly, and improperly, got
the matter into federal court when both Al Gore and George W.
Bush said it should be decided in state court, where Elian would
have prevailed. This "forum shopping," with the stakes
immeasurably high, will go on now, again in Florida, big time.

The Democrats have already tipped their hand. The Florida
attorney general, a Democrat and longtime political crony of
Janet Reno by the name of Bob Butterworth, has already said
that he will decide for Florida, and the nation, what should be
done after the "first recount." So the Democrats have their
insider within the state system, ready, willing and able to thwart
whatever Florida Governor Jeb Bush might decide to do.

This means it ain't over until the Democrats and their lawyers
say it is over.

Does anyone think that Al Gore, his entire life flashing before
him, a law school dropout who has said there is "no controlling
legal authority" that binds him on campaign fund-raising
illegalities, is going to be bound by propriety in this situation?

No, Gore will be bound only by the desperate inventiveness of
his legal beagles. He will not be bound by the precedent of
Richard Nixon in 1960 letting the theft of Illinois go unchallenged
in a court. Gore will challenge everything.

His beagles are right now on the scent. They smell blood. There
will be a lot more blood and a lot more for all of us to smell
before this is over, hopefully before January 20, 2001.

And by the way, the lawyer officially charged with investigating
Democratic vote fraud officially alleged yesterday by the
Broward County Republican Party and reported here first on
NewsMax.com, is a lawyer by the name of Janet Reno.

Janet Reno has never investigated Democratic vote fraud. She
has participated in it.

Folks, it's going to come down to this: Gore's lawyers, in league
with Attorneys General Butterworth and Reno, pitted against
George W. Bush and his legal team. Here's one lawyer hoping
Bush's lawyers are more like Greg Craig than Ken Starr.

WorldNetDaily was initially contacted by U.S. residents and service members who said that, in contrast to prior election years, they had not yet received their absentee ballots -- but that they had requested them in the correct way. Since the report broke, numerous other service members have also contacted the newssite, complaining that they too had not yet received ballots, even though they requested them. http://www.WorldNetDaily.com/bluesky_dougherty/20001107_xnjdo_bacon_deni.shtml FLORIDA MILITARY VOTES BLOCKED FLORIDA MILITARY VOTES BLOCKED FLORIDA MILITARY VOTES BLOCKED Reports of Blocked Military Votes Still Coming In -- and some of them live in Florida http://www.KeepAndBearArms.com from Angel Shamaya Director, KeepAndBearArms.com 9 November 2000 12:50, PST KeepAndBearArms.com -- We have more confirmed reports of U.S. servicemen and women being prevented from voting. Absentee ballots missing or arriving too late is a larger problem than we'd even have guessed, and we are still receiving new reports as the day wears on. Here are the latest reports: Okinawa -- another confirmed report of no ballot having been provided. In her own words: "I am living on Okinawa. I was active duty until Sep 02-00, and I did ask my unit rep to sign me up to vote -- but heard nothing after that. I did not receive a ballot at all. Yes, I would have voted for Gov. Bush." We also have our first confirmed report from a resident of Florida stationed in America whose ballot didn't arrive until the day before the election. He requested his absentee ballot in September and placed a second request in October. According to him: "I received my Ballot the day after the election. My parents requested my ballot in September, but it was sent to the wrong address. I re-requested a ballot in late October. I live in Florida, and I would have voted for Bush." He's not the only soldier who resides in Florida and didn't receive a ballot -- and would have thrown a vote to Governor Bush. This just came in: "I am a state resident of Florida. In my 16 years in the military I have never NOT received a ballot... until this year. And yes, I would most definitely have voted for Bush." And so it goes. We have a confirmed report in from a couple whose home state is Oregon. She received her ballot, and he didn't. Some military personnel did receive their ballots in time to vote, of course. From our email today: "I am from the state of Illinois, and requested my ballot in September, I received my ballot on November 6th 2000, the ballot needed to be returned by 2 pm on the 7th. I did send my ballot in, and I did vote for BUSH!!" and "I am a soldier stationed in the US at Carlisle Barracks in Pennsylvania, away from my voting district. Everyone at Carlisle Barracks was provided all forms, etc months in advance. I can tell you that everyone here was encouraged to vote." We are elated to know that some military personnel did get to vote. But the absence of ballots for others is not only puzzling, it is an outrage. How those who received their ballots on the 7th were to accomplish the stated deadline is a mystery. Who helped orchestrate this travesty is no mystery at all.

For myself, it is an HONOR & a PRIVILEGE to be counted amongst one of these. Please pass along to your friends & associates who have served & others who haven't, but are proud to be called AMERICANS. Forwarded with pride! WHAT IS A VET? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the Paris Island, San Diego, or Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded. Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU". Remember November 11th is Veterans Day "It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Logan The IRS is not who you think they are. IRS agents are neither trained nor paid by the United Stated Government. Pursuant to Treasury Delegation Order No. 92, the IRS is trained under the direction of the Division of Human Resources (U.N.) and the Commissioner (INTERNATIONAL), by the office of Personnel Management. In the 1979 edition of 22 USCA 278, "The United nations," you will find Executive Order 10422. The Office of Personnel Management is under the direction of the Secretary of the United Nations. Pursuant to Treasury Delegation Order No. 91, the IRS entered into a "Service Agreement" with the US Treasury Department (See Public Law 94-564, Legislative History, pg. 5967, Reorganization (BANKRUPTCY!!!) Plan No. 26) and the Agency for International Development. This agency is an international paramilitary operation and, according to the Department of the Army Field manual (1969) 41-10, pgs 1-4, Sec. 1-7 (b) & 1-6. Sec. 1-10 (7) (c) (1), and 22 USCA 284, includes such activities as, "Assumption of full or partial executive, legislative, and judicial authority over a country or area." The IRS is also an agency/member of a 169 nation pact called the International Criminal Police Organization, or INTERPOL, found at 22 USCA 263a. The memorandum of Understanding, (MOU), between the Secretary of Treasury, AKA the corporate governor of "The Fund" and "The Bank" (International Monetary Fund, and the International Bank for reconstruction and Development), indicated that the Attorney General and her associates are soliciting and collecting information for foreign principals; the international organizations, corporations, and associations, exemplified by 22 USCA 286f. According to the 1994 US Government Manual, at page 390, the Attorney General is the permanent representative to INTERPOL, and the Secretary of Treasury is the alternate member. Under Article 30 of the INTERPOL constitution, these individuals must expatriate their citizenship. They serve no allegiance to the United States of America. The IRS is paid by "The Fund" and "The Bank." Thus it appears from the documentary evidence that the Internal Revenue Sevice agents are "Agents of a Foreign Principle" within the meaning and intent of the "Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938" for private, not public, gain. The IRS is directed and controlled by the corporate Governor of "The Fund" and "The Bank." The Federal Reserve Bank and the IRS collection agency are both privately owned and operated under private statutes. The IRS operates under public policy, not Constitutional Law, and in the interest of our nations foreign creditors. The Constitution only permits Congress to lay and collect taxes. It does not authorize Congress to delegate the tax collection power to a private corporation, which collects our taxes for a private bank, the Federal Reserve, who then deposits it into the Treasury of the IMF. The IRS is not allowed to state that they collect taxes for the United States Treasury. They only refer to "The Treasury." PC magazine reported that the Clinton Administration lawyers are preparing executive orders to connect ALL private bank accounts and banking cards directly to the IRS, Treasury and Federal Reserve Computers.

Going by this year's presidential campaign promises, simply by surviving 65 years I acquire the right to have my prescription drugs paid by younger Americans. That's even if that younger person has less wealth and income than I. Does simply surviving 65 years guarantee me the right to live at the expense of young people? Not quite, according to vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Lieberman. Lieberman knows his Bible. He said that paying prescription drugs for older Americans is obedience to G-d's law revealed to us by Moses. We must "Honour thy father and mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy G-d giveth thee." Lieberman forgot to mention, or he doesn't know, that there's no Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus giving the government resources to pay for prescription drugs. That means the only way government can give one American subsidized prescription drugs is to first confiscate the money from some other American. If Rabbi Lieberman just thought about that fact he'd recall another commandment, "Thou shalt not steal." Or, maybe Lieberman thinks what that commandment really means: "Thou shalt not steal unless thou hast a majority vote in Congress." Older Americans who want someone else to pay for prescription drugs ought to give some thought to the mechanism by which the drugs will be provided. That mechanism is revealed by considering the following scenario: Suppose a person disagrees that his earnings should go to pay prescription drugs for some old coots. He refuses to cough up the money to the IRS. What would you have done to him? You say, "The IRS should fine him." Suppose he refuses to pay the fine? You say, "The IRS should take his house." Suppose he refuses to let the IRS take his house? You say, "Send armed agents." Suppose he arms himself to defend his property from government confiscation -- should the government agents then kill him? The mechanism by which we'll get our prescription drugs subsidized is through threats, intimidation and coercion. Let's think about the Ten Commandments again. Do you suppose that while there are biblical proscriptions against theft receiving stolen goods is OK? While there are no biblical admonitions against being a recipient of stolen property, I'd bet the practice doesn't sit right with G-d. Why have older Americans resorted to ripping off the young? The simple answer is we can and we want to. In the political arena, the rule is: dump on people who can't dump back on you. Older Americans vote in large numbers. Younger Americans hardly vote at all. Politicians do whatever gets them elected and re-elected. Becoming 65 next year means I get to live off younger Americans in another way -- Social Security. I'll probably receive all that I ever put into Social Security in five years or so. After that, I get to live off young people. The most conservative estimates predict Social Security disaster in the 2030s. But if older Americans feel threatened by any Social Security proposal that might avert the disaster, why should politicians risk their careers by doing anything? Neither they nor today's older Americans will be around when the disaster arrives, so what do they care? I'm healthy; subsidized prescription drugs won't do me much good. I'd be willing to forego my prescription drugs if Congress would force some young American to mow my lawn.

Peter Mulhern I was disenfranchised. My vote was counted in every presidential election between 1976 and 1996. In the year 2000 I changed my voter registration from one Maryland county to another and my name mysteriously disappeared from the list of registered voters. I recently moved from predominantly black and Democratic Prince George's County to predominantly white and Republican Anne Arundel County. I voted in the Republican primary in Prince George's County and then filed the paperwork to change my voter registration to my new address. Anne Arundel County never got my name on a list and Prince George's County no longer has any record of my registration. At least four other similarly situated Bush voters were also disenfranchised in my precinct alone. We are waiting for Jesse Jackson and his rent-a-mob to drop by so we can all link arms and sing We shall Overcome. The loss of my vote could result from bureaucratic inefficiency. Given the rampant corruption of Maryland state government and the one-party control of that government, fraud is a more plausible explanation. Either way, the system is badly bent. So badly bent that anyone claiming to discern the "will of the people" in the result of a close election should be ashamed of their demagoguery. Which brings me to the unseemly politics of the last week. Contrary to popular belief, we don't have an electoral process that reflects the will of the people, which is probably a good thing. Most of the people don't give a rat's hind end who sits in the White House as long as the cable company delivers good reception. The process by which we choose our leaders has no inherent legitimacy. It is just a game with rules according to which we designate winners and losers. The outcome of the game is only legitimate to the extent that we all agree it should be. With the presidency hanging in the balance and tension rising on all sides it is important to remember this. Political crises generate bad arguments faster than early-bird specials sell out in Fort Lauderdale. Keeping our bearings should help us identify the real clunkers. The worst of the lot is the suggestion that Al Gore's dwindling edge in "the popular vote" nationwide gives him some sort of moral claim to the presidency. We set up a ballot, we cast the votes, we count the votes, the candidate with the most votes wins the electoral votes from each state. The candidate with a majority of the electoral votes wins. That's the game. This year, George W. Bush won the game. If Gore wins a plurality of the nationwide popular vote his supporters will grumble about the will of the people. They started doing so even before all the votes were certified. This grumbling is just the background noise losers typically generate. We will never know who got more valid votes from genuine, living, properly registered, U.S. citizens. My educated guess is that netting out the impact of the grosser forms of voter fraud, Bush won the popular vote by a significant margin. We know, for example, that the Clinton/Gore folks ran the INS as a voter mill for years. I can't establish with mathematical precision the impact of fraud on Democrat vote totals. Our commitment to the rules of the game requires us to accept certified election results as valid. Unfortunately, a certain amount of cheating is part of the game. Democrats want us to accept the rules of the game for purposes of establishing their vote totals but they want everyone to ignore the rules of the game when it comes to determining the significance of those vote totals. They can't have it both ways. Either they accept the rules and the outcomes they generate or they don't. If they don't, we will quickly find ourselves settling political disputes the old- fashioned way -- with violence. If Democrats attack the game selectively they will destroy it and ultimately the tanks will roll. The rules of the game establish that the nationwide vote totals have no significance. The Gore people know this so they are busy trying to steal Florida's electoral votes. By curious coincidence, Democrats feel that "the will of the people" entitles them to win in Florida just as it entitles them to win in the nation. As I write this, they are expressing their feelings in two ways. First, they have requested a recount by hand of ballots in some of the Florida precincts that voted most heavily for Gore. This recount is now underway. If this recount has any impact on the outcome of the presidential race it will be a travesty. Essentially Democrats want the vote in their strongest precincts counted more inclusively than the vote that favors Bush. It isn't clear how this would make the vote more likely to conform with the will of the people. Democrats hope they can convince fallible and probably partisan human beings to include in the final tally votes that machines could not read. Any result based on selective hand counting where most of the vote, and the entire vote in Republican areas, is counted by machine would be patently fraudulent. Nobody will accept the outcome of a game unless the rules are the same for everyone. To recount the entire state by hand would be hugely cumbersome and would certainly introduce much more error than it cured. The best possible tally of the valid votes cast in Florida is already in and George Bush won it. The Democrats' other desperate ploy has to do with a challenge to the ballot in Palm Beach County that, they say, confused some of the poor dears who tried to vote for Gore but just couldn't get it right. Here again, the idea is that the will of the people must prevail. Apparently a judge is now supposed to reconstruct the intent of voters who were too careless, too blind, too senile, or too stupid to express their vote clearly on a ballot. There may have been confusion in Palm Beach County but this cannot justify any relief. There was confusion all over Florida on Election Day and all over the nation. We can't remedy confusion in one case where it hurt Gore without remedying every other case of confusion. Palm Beach County was not the only place where a surprising number of Floridians cast invalid ballots. Much the same thing happened in Duval County, a Bush stronghold. The process is badly flawed, but the sort of flaw the Democrats are complaining about in Palm Beach County is random and tends to balance out. Democrats want a perfect world for their candidate while the other guy struggles with the imperfections of the real world. They will never get that in court. Even if they did, the nation would never accept the court's decision. I, for one, would set about organizing a tax strike if Gore gained the presidency on the strength of such a decision. The challenge to the Palm Beach ballot is a non-starter and Democrats know it. The only possible purpose of that challenge is to make people doubt the legitimacy of Bush's victory. It is, in other words, an attack on the rules of the game. This is part of a very risky scheme. If the Democrats have any decency or shame they will back off. Sadly, the last eight years have clearly demonstrated that decency and shame are in very short supply among Democrats. The game is over and George W. Bush is the president-elect. There are still some overseas absentee ballots to be counted in Florida but given recent history, if those ballots showed a big majority for Gore that majority would be prima facie evidence of fraud. Nothing good can come from disputing the controlling legal authority of an election. The voters have had the last word and it is time for the Democrats to sit down and shut up. Either we play the game by its rules and accept the outcome or we wind up in the jungle. Please, Mr. Gore, come back from the edge. J.

Most folks are scared and it is causing them to huddle safely away from public arenas. They have every right to stay close to home with their families, so I wasn=92t offended even though I was disappointed. I chose the most outspoken, brave members of the community I could think of and invited them to a brainstorming session on what we could do locally and nationally to set things right. Now these are people who I know have recently set foot into the public arena and are quite outspoken. They all deferred because they are worn out with this election flap and know in their hearts and minds that something very sinister and foreboding has reared its head. Al Gore, while proving that he is anything but presidential with his most recent behavior, is not the cause for their concern. He is central to the problem, but he had even less to do with creating it than he did with inventing the Internet. To be sure, he is a product of a privileged class and has opportunities made available to him most of us wouldn=92t dream of. But he is not the enemy we sense creeping and slithering in the shadows. It is the specter of Leftist ideals and the thought of this sickening agenda actually winning in the long run thereby forever diminishing what America is meant to be. Up until now, this has been a creeping fungus that we could see devouring more impoverished, war-torn nations that we occasionally might perform some police or relief action in. It wasn=92t supposed to come here, to attack us in our homes. The sly attack didn=92t start last week or even last year. America has been slipping down the greasy slope of internal decay for at least 30 years. It=92s just that seeing the edge of the abyss rushing up at us is a sight to which we are not accustomed. This =93deer caught in the headlights=94 phenomenon is only sought after by poachers. =93Whatever works to gain power,=94 has been the battle cry of this socio-economic guerrilla warfare that has taken many casualties among us. It is difficult to confront evil directly. We instinctively do not wish to gaze upon its abhorrent visage. The agents of chaos know this very well and use it quite effectively to confound and confuse and conquer us. What they don=92t want you to discover is that once confronted, it is evil that shrinks and scurries for cover. The moment you show any weakness to predatory animals, they attack, but if you stand your ground and don=92t blink, you can usually gain the upper hand. The fight or flight mechanism is a survival tool. It is not cowardly to fear. However, panic is debilitating and usually leads to poor choices. That is exactly what the forces that wish to overthrow this country by destroying our morale and damaging our Constitution are counting on. Anger and frustration are equally easy to manipulate and lead to similar poor decision making capability. Our enemies are counting on that also. But you can channel that emotional porridge into positive action. Fight for what you believe in and do it now. Pay particular attention to any victories you may have helped precipitate of late and congratulate those that cooperated with you to reach your goal. If you got a candidate into office that really needed to be elected, take stock in the effort that brought about the win. Any personal goal attained has as its reward a feeling of satisfaction. Dwell on that for a moment and see if it helps quell that vague worry you=92re having over our future. Do not deny yourself the feeling of accomplishment and integration that participating in freedom brings. You deserve the benefit of your actions that caused the result you desired. Many people are focusing on the divisiveness of the current situation in Florida without realizing the more positive factors that have come to light. We have a near perfect system set up by truly inspired minds over 225 years ago that still continues to guide us in the proper direction, if we will only listen to it. The maps that show the county by county votes in this election prove that the electoral college, no matter how arcane and confusing, is necessary to insure that a few powerful individuals cannot control a the major population centers and thereby exercise tyrannical control over the rest of us. The hair splitting finality of the vote counting mechanism will eventually determine the proper course of action. Consider the thoughts of Thomas Jefferson on the matter: "If a Nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be . . . If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." And "An elected despotism is not the government we fought for." I find it quite ironic that the Democrats were smugly predicting a situation in which George Bush might win the popular vote and Al Gore would win the electoral vote just the week before the election, stating that we should prepare ourselves to accept that outcome. But now that the exact opposite seems to be true, the sincerity has gone out of that party balloon rather markedly. Isn=92t it curious that Al Gore spent the last available moments of his campaign wooing the voters in Florida? In fact, the way the campaign was conducted it appears in retrospect that their efforts were focused on exactly the right socio-economic target groups in all areas of the country and no energy was expended on areas unlikely to produce sufficient electoral votes. It was so well conceived that it would have taken direct polling of every American in intricate detail and then unlimited access to throngs of statisticians and veritable armies of data gathering drones to describe and decipher the entire populace. No one has access to that kind of data on command. It just couldn=92t be done over a short period of time just before the elections, so that the data was current and as up to date as possible. It would require the authority to demand the information and that would be hard to come by since most people would reject to that sort of intrusion. Many would refuse, and rightfully so, to being openly manipulated like that. What campaign has the funding and manpower to create their own Census Bureau? Besides that, the head count demanded by the Constitution wouldn=92t produce the kind of data necessary to exert such finite control. It would have to be expanded to ridiculous lengths and then hurried through at record pace to serve that purpose. It=92s a moot point anyway, because you wouldn=92t be able to get the entir= e country to fall for such a transparent ruse. That just couldn=92t happen, not in America. So, cheer up!

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE To the citizens of the United States of America, In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed". 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005. 7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "shit". 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day". 9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. 10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. Thank you for your cooperation. A few notes from Chairman Nils: "Football" is a term that implies the primary use of feet to play (other than for mere locomotion). Thus, only what is collquially known as "soccer" will qualify. The current British AND American forms will be lumped together with Pro Wrestling, where they belong. "Merde" is a short form of "Mort de Dieu" (see e.g. "The Three Musqueteers"), and is thus profane, probably blasphemous and possibly heretical, but NOT scatological, as the writer would have you believe.

WHAT A MESS.....................................Bob (WITH A SARCASTIC GRIN) http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/20001115_xex_navy_flying_.shtml" Navy flying home 3,000 lost ballots Ship captain: 'A majority of the pilots aboard are registered voters in Florida' =A9 2000 WorldNetDaily.com At least one major instance of missing overseas military ballots -- involving some 3,000 absentee votes -- appears to be on its way=20 to resolution. WorldNetDaily reported yesterday that a source on the USS=20 Tarawa, a U.S. Navy destroyer near Yemen, said that=20 "thousands" of absentee ballots were languishing onboard. The Navy has now confirmed bundles of overseas ballots left behind -- not on one, but three ships in the Persian Gulf region. According to=20 a New York Post account, Cmdr. Greg Smith, a Navy spokesman,=20 said the ballots of some 3,000 sailors and Marines on the USS=20 Tarawa, USS Deleuth and USS Anchorage would be flown back=20 to the United States "expeditiously." Before the discovery of missing Navy ballots, Defense Department spokesman Kenneth Bacon and Navy Lt. Dave Gai had both criticized WorldNetDaily -- Bacon publicly at a press briefing -- for its reporting on this issue. Bacon referred to WND's initial story as "ludicrous" for reporting that some servicemen and women suspect the Clinton administration may have somehow purposely delayed sending absentee ballots to military personnel overseas because most historically vote Republican. Gai, the Pentagon spokesman quote= d in two of WND's stories, had previously said he was "not aware of any large-scale problems." Nevertheless, the newssite's reports caught the attention of Rep. Joe Scarborough, R-Fla., who is now calling for a congressional investigation into the issue. In yesterday's WND report, Oregonian Judy Krutsinger, whose brother-in-law i= s stationed onboard the Tarawa, said that although the Pentagon had reportedly contacted Florida election officials to inform them that mail from all area warships had been picked up Nov. 7, her relative aboard the Tarawa denied=20 that. "We e-mailed [him] aboard ship about that. ... [H]e e-mailed back saying[the mailbags] are still onboard," Krutsinger told WorldNetDaily. She said the mail was contained in orange bags on 17 pallets and that "ballots were not separated from regular mail, as they should have been." A United Press International account reported comments from a Marine Corps captain from the Tarawa who helped evacuate the dead and injured from the USS Cole after it was attacked by terrorists on Oct. 12. Capt. Van P. Brinson, who did not receive his absentee ballot, wrote in a Nov. 8 e-mail: "I cannot speak for the remainder of the crew of the Tarawa, but I do know that the majority of the Marines and sailors that I have spoke= n with are in the same boat. What is distressing about the situation," he added, "is that a majority of the pilots aboard are registered voters in=20 Florida." Florida law requires that overseas ballots be postmarked by Election Day, and Friday midnight is the deadline for the state's 67 counties to receive them. Now that the large cache of ballots has been found, "all we're trying to do is see if there's a way to get the mail there," Smith said in the Post story= . Smith explained that the reason the shipboard mail was forgotten was because the three West Coast-based ships were preoccupied assisting the stricken Col= e after it was bombed last month. Once someone realized that the mail contained time-sensitive ballots -- whos= e importance is now increased dramatically because of the historically close race -- the Navy agreed to fly the ballots to the U.S. post haste. Meanwhile, stateside, the U.S. Postal Service says it is fast-tracking military overseas ballots destined for Florida -- promising to get them to the 67 county election departments the same day they arrive in the U.S., the Post reported. The ballots are being processed by postal employees at the Air Mail Center near Miami International Airport, according to an Associated Press report, where all overseas military mail sent to the United States arrives. Ballots destined for South Florida counties are being driven to the appropriate post offices for same-day delivery, while those earmarked for north and central Florida counties are flown to regional mail centers, then forwarded to the local post office for delivery to election officials. According to the AP story, as of Monday the postal service had delivered 446 military overseas ballots to Florida since Nov. 8. An unofficial Associated Press survey of 64 of Florida's 67 election supervisors showed that more tha= n 19,300 overseas ballots had been mailed from the state. While over 10,000 ha= d been returned -- and most of those already counted -- officials could not sa= y how many ballots were still outstanding. Many service personnel and their families have complained to WorldNetDaily that their ballots were sent to them by fourth class "bulk mail" -- which ca= n delay delivery by a month or more -- instead of first class. Many others claim they never received their ballots at all. For those stationed on the Cole, Deleuth and Anchorage, at least, their vote= s seem to be on their way home. "We understand the urgency of this situation and realize that the entire presidential election could rest on these ballots," said postal service spokeswoman Enola C. Rice yesterday, said the AP report. Read Joseph Farah's column today, "Those missing military ballots."

Respectfully, Bob MORE WARNINGS Reinhold ARIZONA GUN DEALER RAIDED AGAIN!! http://www.KeepAndBearArms.com Arizona Gun Dealer Raided a Second Time BATF Thieves Strike Again. This time it was over ammunition. by Angel Shamaya Director, KeepAndBearArms.com 15 November 2000 http://www.keepandbeararms.com/newsarchives/XcNewsPlus.asp?cmd=view&articleid= 914 Jerry Michel of Specialty Firearms in Mesa, Arizona was raided on October 25. As the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was stealing 274 guns valuing over $300,000, he was told he'd failed to secure a $100 "pawn permit." After looking over the Statement of Probable Cause he and I picked up at the federal courthouse in downtown Phoenix, we discovered that they'd also accused him of conducting strawman sales, as well. (A strawman sale is a sale in which a buyer purchases a firearm and makes it known to the licensed dealer that the gun is actually being purchased by another person.) Such a sale, says Mr. Michel, never happened in his shop. Ever. The BATF -- Stomper of Liberty and Strangler of Freedom and the Constitution -- behaved in very unAmerican ways on that day. You can read the original report and the follow-up report on KeepAndBearArms.com. (Links below) And now the "taxing agency" who has killed and imprisoned quite a few people over technical gun violations has raided this man -- a man who heretofore had not even a parking ticket to his name -- a second time. This event took place on Friday, 10 Nov 2000. Jerry dropped by his ransacked store to take care of some very brief business Monday afternoon. Though he has felt uncomfortable being in his store since he was first assaulted, handcuffed, interrogated, lied to and about and after being forced to watch 30 or so armed "men" steal his life's gun collection, he stopped by the store anyway. He went in, locked the door and proceeded to the back of the store. Within a minute or two, the police began pounding on the door, saying, "Open up! Police!" Within moments, Jerry was whisked outside, frisked in front of his store and taken inside, all the while befuddled as to what these folks were doing -- and why. In a word: ammunition. Yes, ammunition. Jerry Michel was accused of manufacturing ammunition for resale without a license. The BATF confiscated -- this past Friday afternoon -- approximately 30,000+ rounds of ammunition, kegs of powder, cases of bullets in various calibers, primers, shell casings, etc. etc. -- ammo stuff. Jerry guesses the value of everything these agents stole from him to be approximately $30,000. Funny thing is, Jerry doesn't sell the ammo he reloads from scratch. Never has. The only reloads he sells are those he purchases in quantities from licensed ammunition manufacturers. That was Jerry's personal ammo, for personal use. One of the 8 BATF agents who committed this latest assault against Jerry Michel told him he doubted that Jerry could possibly have so much ammunition for personal consumption. When Jerry explained that he sometimes shoots 10,000 rounds in a month's time, he was talking to a wall -- a wall who doesn't understand that some people shoot up as much ammunition as they can afford, simply because they enjoy shooting. To illustrate just how ridiculous this latest assault against good-natured Jerry is, I tell you the following, and I urge you to read it twice: The BATF confiscated 15,000 rounds of reloads Jerry recently purchased, directly from a friend who works at Dillon Precision. (We are fortunate enough to have Dillon's here locally, so it's a quick jaunt over to see Mike Dillon and company to get all kinds of reloading supplies and equipment.) This ammo was in army cans in the back of the store -- in the area Jerry has for two years considered his home...his living quarters. This rogue agency also confiscated (stole, swiped, transferred ownership unlawfully, absconded with, snagged, robbed, took without remuneration) reloads that Jerry has had in his possession dating as far back as 1974. You read that correctly. No, he wasn't arrested this time either. (In case you missed the previous reports, the first BATF assault on Jerry Michel -- which followed an 8 month investigation that involved at least 5 undercover (as in, imposter) agents -- never resulted in an arrest, or any charges. The same holds true in this latest harassment. You getting this? The scumbags (bags filled with scum) did it over AMMO. John Arbon of CPHV.com and longtime friend of Jerry Michel called the BATF the other day to find out when they'd be returning Jerry's stolen property. Many of those 274 guns are owned by Jerry's friends -- and his customers -- and a great many of them are a part of his own personal collection, as well. They told him they'd be keeping them for 6 months to a year, "as evidence." No more "evidence" is required to understand who the BATF is. They are the modern day Nazis. They are the henchmen of the 21st century doing the bidding of tyrants. They are enemies of our beloved nation, and they are stepping up their efforts to eliminate gun dealers in a very calculated and systematic methodology that looks very much like targeted eradication. Since Jerry's first raid on October 25th, two more raids have happened in Arizona, and God knows how many have happened elsewhere. We haven't been able to make contact with the recently-raided Arizona dealer, or with the Arizona citizen who was charged with "trading without a license", but we'd like to help them -- ASAP. Any information you have about their situations, please post it in our online user-publication form here: http://www.keepandbeararms.com/newsarchives/XcNPAdd.asp I know quite a few people who reload ammunition for their friends. In fact, I give my empties to friends from time to time to have them reload for me, as well. I buy reloaded ammunition from people who don't have this fancy "ammunition manufacturing license." Judging by this latest BATF farce, my friends and I must be engaging in some "illegal" ammunition dealing... so is BATF going to come and get me now? Are they going to swing by my house, kick my door in, and come and cuff me to a chair while they steal MY stuff? Are they going to bring their unregistered, unregulated, fully automatic HK-MP5's -- any time they please -- to assault me for buying reloaded ammunition? If so, it is recommended that they knock first. My private property is my domain. If someone comes into my home uninvited, they are -- according to state "lethal force" laws -- instantly shootable. What really amazes me is this: since our first report and our follow-up report, and since Neal Knox's writeup on the assault against Jerry Michel, Jerry has received a whopping $65 for his legal defense. Sixty-five dollars. Bizarre. I know guys who shoot up more than $65 worth of ammo in one day -- in the same town where Jerry is being taken on a one-way ride to Gun Owner Hell. If everyone who reads this report would send Jerry $1 or $2, he'd have enough to cover the first phase of the legal proceedings just fine. If you happen to have a dollar bill in your back pocket, trust me; it's better invested on behalf of Jerry Michel than on the extra few rounds at the range this week.

Roads are disappearing ... on paper! Old wagon roads, now dirt roads, considered by back country travelers for centuries to be the main thoroughfare from point to point anywhere in the western states, are being redefined as a "non-roads" or "ways," apparently in order to reclassify the surrounding land as "roadless" and therefore, eligible for Wilderness Study consideration. The Clinton-Gore administration is proposing closure of 400,000 miles of back country roads on 60,000,000 acres on national forest lands. Are these roadways "roads" or not? The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published official maps for more than 80 years before the 1964 Wilderness Act. In 1964, five classes of roads were defined by the Survey . Their definition of a road in 1964 was what Congress intended when the Act used the terms "road" and "roadless." The five classes are: Class 1: primary highway, federal and state, Class 2: secondary highway, state and county, Class 3: light duty, paved or improved, Class 4: unimproved, unsurfaced, including track roads in back country, designated on maps by two parallel dashed lines, and Class 5: trails (single dashed line), roads passable only with a 4-wheel drive vehicle; also called Jeep trails. Today, for every mile of primary, secondary, and light duty roadway in the west, there are 50 to 100 miles of unimproved, track (Class 4) roads. This type of road is commonly a primitive road, frequently of just two tracks, but it is the principal type of road to most of the back country. Thousands of miles of Class 4 and 5 roads, once wagon roads, exist in the west and still see daily auto traffic. However, these "Back Country Freeways" are losing their centuries-old status in the name of wilderness protection. According to the 1964 Wilderness Act (PL88-577), no land can be designated a Wilderness Area unless it is "roadless." The Wilderness provision of the Federal Land Policy & Management Act (PL94-579) specified a Wilderness Area to be 5,000 acres or more and stipulated that it be "roadless," meaning that no "roads" could be contained within a 5,000-acre parcel, or it could not be considered for Wilderness. The Wilderness Act was passed to isolate a few mountain tops and a few million acres as "untrammeled, undeveloped, primeval federal land having no permanent improvements." Why have these roads be hidden or ignored? How has this been accomplished? In the 1970's, pro-wilderness bureaucrats and their radical environmental allies redefined the term "road" on federal lands to mean only those" graded or maintained by mechanical equipment on a regular basis." This conveniently made additional millions of acres filled with existing Class 4 roads, presently utilized by recreationists, miners, and ranchers susceptible to consideration for Wilderness withdrawal. This makes Class 3 roads the most primitive of remaining auto routes. The unimproved dirt roads and jeep trails are defined into oblivion. In effect, they have been "wiped off" the legislative map. Since these roads technicality do not exist, the land is now available for Wilderness designation. The BLM executed the new definition and arbitrarily redefined the word "road" carrying out the delusion that a road is not a road. The BLM stated that "within these inventoried areas there are frequently a number of ways and trails which no longer qualify as roads, although they are used as routes of travel." This description sounds very much like they are referring to USGS Class 4 and 5 roads. The BLM also said: "A way maintained solely by the passage of vehicles does not constitute a road." The Clinton-Gore administration has ordered the United States Forest Service (USFS) to apply a similar standard to roads in the National Forest System threatening to "manufacture" 60,000,000 more acres of roadless wilderness. Their definition has several problems. If a road is of such natural integrity that periodic grading is not necessary, can it be eliminated as a road by some planner just because it has not required mechanical maintenance? The BLM and USFS interpretations concerning back country roads are inaccurate and self-serving. Millions of acres of the western United States have been taken from multiple use and public access by the simple dirty trick of changing the meaning of a word. Class 4 and 5 roads are human developments, they are permanent improvements. Therefore, the land containing them cannot and should not be considered as Wilderness under the 5,000-acre roadless requirement. Apparently, a road is not a road if a government agency sees it as a candidate for roadless Wilderness. It all depends on what the meaning of the word "road" is. http://www.sierratimes.com/eddf111600.htm -- **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

Tip URGENT MESSAGE >From Charles W. Colson Chairman, Prison Fellowship Ministries The Supreme Court of the State of Florida, seven judges, all appointed by Democratic governors, has, on its own motion, ordered Katherine Harris, the Florida Secretary of State, not to carry out her statutory duty and announce on Saturday (Nov. 18, 2000) the winner of the presidential election in Florida and, thus, the winner of the presidential election. By what authority does the Court do this? With no appeal before it, the Court acted on its own motion. Editorials in Florida have strongly condemned the Court s action. To challenge a voting process in the courts is to attack the very cardinal principle of self-government. People have the right to elect their representatives without judicial interference. If after the process there are allegations of fraud or questions of statutory interpretation, then the Court could, in proper order, review it. What the Court in Florida has done is to inject itself into the very heart of the self-governing process. This is a case of judicial usurpation, the arrogance of power of the unelected, black-robed, new leaders of American society. It is the very thing that I, Robert Bork, Russell Hittinger, Hadley Arkes, Robert George, and Richard Neuhaus wrote about in the controversial "End of Democracy" series in the journal First Things in 1996. We warned then that judges would be usurping the right of the people to govern for themselves, which is at the very heart of the American political contract entered into by our Founders. This not only smacks of judicial usurpation, but it also smacks of partisanship. The media has been quick to point out that Secretary of State Katherine Harris, though she is acting on the advice of career officials and a Democratic law firm, is a partisan. She may well be, but the same media have said almost nothing about the seven judges. If we ve learned anything in recent years, it s that judges are as susceptible to public pressure as anyone else. If anyone wants to register their protest, they can call any or all of the following: Chief Justice Charles T. Wells 850-921-1096 Justice Leander J. Shaw, Jr. 850-488-0208 Justice Major B.

Quince 850-922-5624 Not only are these judges interfering in the electoral process, they are giving further evidence that we have become a country of the courts, by the courts, and for the courts.

They had No court order. When they were asked to see the court order, the response was - "we don't need any court order." There was no subpoena, nor any warrant. They would not allow Debbie to call her lawyer. When John, their son, went to the phone to call the lawyer, the DSS worker started screaming at John. Marcedes was screaming and crying out, "noooooo, tomorrow's my birthday, I won't be able to see my grandma & grandpa." They were so forceful -- Marcedes screamed so loudly she almost vomited. The one DSS worker screamed at Marcedes & 'barked' orders to her. Marcedes was almost hysterical. They literally ripped Marcedes out of Debbie's arms. They then proceeded to shove Marcedes & throw her into the car they took her away in. (And DSS knows how to handle children?????? If we had done that to any of our children, what would have happened to us????) Sharon, our oldest daughter, and also a home school mom of six precious children, called the Homeschool Legal Defense - the woman hearing what had taken place broke down & cried - and said they will get back to Sharon as soon as possible. We have found out that Marcedes was taken to Greenfield, MA - the judge there works hand in hand w/DSS - and is known to be a 'witch' in breaking up families. Dear Ones, we are in a state of shock. The lawyer will be seen tomorrow afternoon and another lawyer, who deals with nothing but DSS, will be in on Monday. Meanwhile, the weekend seems VERY long, looming in front of us. Bill has a funeral of one of the member's husbands on Monday afternoon. YOUR PRAYERS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!!!! How thankful we can be that even the wicked are under God's sovereign hand! ONLY BY HIS GRACE, Bill & Marianne Plenge Rom. 8:28, 29 - - - 11/18/00 Update Dear Family and Friends in Christ, We had a hearing to try to get custody of Debbie's daughter back, on November 17, 2000. Due to bureaucratic delay and an arrogant Department of Social Services, the hearing was postponed until Nov 28. During that time, the daughter must languish in a foster home, even though plenty of family is available to care for her. This is a typical ploy to gain control, and to have time to try to get damaging admissions from her by regular interrogation. Once they get an admission that is sufficiently bad, then they will have a pretext to keep custody of the child. The charges against Debbie are: 1. Prayer-it appears that within a family, prayer is abusive conduct. 2. Teaching of forgiveness - this also is abusive conduct. 3. Making a child do housework. Debbie's daughter is a very caring, loving child. She enjoys helping and wanted to help her Mommy, who was suffering a back injury, get better. She ASKED her mother, "Mommy, what can I do?" So she helped to do a few chores around the house. This was twisted around to mean 'abuse.' The question put to the little girl was "What do you do to help Mommy?" How would your children answer that one? Please be aware that the Child Protective Services department in every state in the nation now has experimental programs, for which they NEED many new children into the system each day. The more children the State has in these programs the more money the State receives. Worse, the federal adoption laws pay big bonuses for every child the state can grab, and eventually place for adoption The state can make $25,000 to $250,000 per child per year while they have them in captivity, and then more cash when they adopt them out. This has turned social services into a business of stealing and selling children for profit. Please also be aware: There is NO Due Process for children in this nation. There are secret trials, without juries, illegal searches of homes without a warrant to take children, very little proof needed to prove abuse, automatic custody of children given to the state, and other atrocities. Once they are taken by DSS they can have no representation except what DSS approves of. DSS then works with the children to manipulate them into saying things that can and will be used against the family, or to say, in any way they can, to say "I don't want to go home." When that is said or implied, the child is then put up for adoption. THEN the State gets XXX number of dollars for every child from DSS that gets adopted. If you can take the time, please read the attachment on the Adoption Law that President Clinton signed into effect in 1997. If you can access Title 42, please read that also. The family will return to court Tuesday, Nov. 28th for the next court appearance. We still do not know where the little girl is or what they have done to her. They cruelly let the family know that she is "very happy where she is." WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP? 1. Pray! 2. Commit to praying daily for Debbie's daughter Marcedes that she will not be manipulated to say things that can hurt her or her family. That she will be returned to her mother's arms (she aches to hold her again) on the 28th. That the judge will order her returned to her rightful home. 3. Commit to praying daily for Debbie & Billy ~ as they and each of us realize that the battle presents much bigger issues than we at first thought. Debbie realizes that they have come to the kingdom for "such a time as this." (Esther 4:14) 4. Commit to praying daily for the judge that she will be impartial and see the travesty that has taken place here. (She has cancelled her vacation to continue to sit on this case. We don't know if this is favorable or not.) Pray that she will be compelled to give a righteous judgment. 5. Pray for the lawyer - he needs a special measure of God's grace ~ there is so much taking place ~ that he doesn't get distracted and can remain focused. 6. DO NOTHING without the family's AND the lawyers' approval. We need to focus on getting the child home. THEN we can do the next things. 7. Commit to becoming educated about what is going on in our country. Read. Search out information. Become involved. Realize that this IS indeed happening and hurting children and families all across this nation of ours. If you have internet service, please check out: http://www.nationaloutrage.org http://www.cpswatch.com http://www.massoutrage.com 8. Get involved IN the world around you and be the "salt" and "light" you should be. 9. Encourage those who are going through heartaches and trials and don't say, "What did YOU DO?" Being judgmental at a time like this only adds to the burdens and difficulties. God hasn't explained to us what He is doing. NOR does He HAVE to! Please re-read the charges again! Could YOU be charged with this? 10. Pray for the extended family that we can be a godly comfort and positive help to our kids and precious little granddaughter at such a difficult times in their lives. We all missed out on celebrating the little one's birthday. Now we must all miss her at Thanksgiving. Thank you for your love and your concern for each of us. Please forward this as you prayerfully see fit. The lawyer approved of us writing this letter. The facts have been verified by him and he added some web sites.

Paul Craig Roberts' brilliant mind is a unique repository for the knowledge and comprehension of legal history. That alone would make his and Larry Stratton's detailed survey of the mortal wounds from which our system of government is bleeding an important publication under any circumstances. The opportunity to consider his message as the nation grapples with its presidential election gone sour is providential. Many Americans do not realize how different this country is from all others. Most of those who do, still fail to appreciate that our legal foundations account for the difference. The book appropriately calls them "the Rights of Englishmen." Alas, at the dawn of the 21st century, few of our countrymen remember them as the foundation upon which the American miracle (for it ceased to be an "experiment" long ago) was built. Europe has made incomparable contributions in the realm of arts and sciences, food and wine, fashions and graceful conduct. But the countries of the continent have utterly failed to create a governmental structure that produces freedom, prosperity, and peace. Only societies based on the Rights of Englishmen have succeeded where Europe has failed. America's worldwide significance is that those rights have been made accessible and available to all men, women and children who make their way over here and commit to living under that umbrella, as well as the English language which alone provides the key. Nevertheless, "The Tyranny of Good Intentions" highlights the major areas in which our rights have been systematically eroded. Case after case attests to the inescapable corruption of lawyers, prosecutors and officials of the Department of Justice who have long ceased to think of themselves as officers of the court. The title of the final chapter, "What is to be done?" alludes to V.I. Lenin, of course. But it does not offer much in the way of a blueprint beyond the suggestion that we restore the constitutional order. The absence of a more tangible course of action stems, in my view, from the initial assumption that Jeremy Bentham, a precocious youngster turned legal philosopher, himself an Englishman, has been primarily responsible for two centuries of assaults on the Rights of Englishmen. Bentham may have been the primary force inside the British legal establishment to combat William Blackstone's immortal tenets with regard to the law as a guarantor of liberty. Yet his influence might have remained severely limited, had not French and German thinkers discovered that the Rights of Englishmen produced a nation that constantly stood in the way of their military and intellectual expansion. How highly the French prized the anti-English nature of Bentham's stance was expressed by granting the young scholar French citizenship in 1792. Socialism, taken by many for dead, and mistaken by most as an economic alternative to capitalism, has been the primary tool of French and German thinkers to combat the growing hegemony of the English-speaking world. Not until we realize that our economic success is a function of our legal system, and not until we understand that socialism in all its forms aims to eradicate that legal system, will we fully comprehend the agenda and the behavior of socialists from Pierre Proudhon to Karl Marx, from Lenin to Adolf Hitler, from Martin Heidegger to Hillary Rodham Clinton. And this brings us to the timeliness of this excellent book. It is customary for members of Congress to take the oath of office first, and legislate after. History will record the first instance when a representative declared her yet-to-be-taken oath of office null and void before taking it. Senator-elect Hillary Rodham Clinton informed the people of the United States, "we are a very different country than we were 200 years ago . . . it's time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president." Before the promise to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, the oath of office imposes the duty to preserve the same. Mrs. Clinton's determination to change the way we elect our president serves unequivocal notice of her intention to take the oath in vain. That, as well as the current turmoil about the fate of the presidency, clearly points to the determination of some, perhaps many, to do away altogether with the Constitution of the United States. Yes, we have the most urgent need of restoring the constitutional order. To do so, we must be aware of the extent and the motivation of the forces marshaled against it, and what their ultimate agenda requires. Then, instead of trying to deal with the nine-headed hydra of socialism one head at a time, we will attack the central head which currently sprouts two replacements for every head slain.

This is a letter I have sent to members of the different branches of Florida government. While to them it may be a local matter, but what happens in Florida will have direct effect on your right to keep and bear arms, among others. I have included the e-mail addresses which I understand include the Florida Supreme Court, the Governor, the Secretary of State and the Legislature. A lot can happen in five days. Contact them. In Liberty, Rick V. ============================================================= To the Florida Governor, To the Florida Secretary of State, To the Florida Supreme Court, and To the Members of the Florida Legislature, Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen of the State of Florida, I write to you as a concerned U.S. citizen, to express my deep reservations as to the conduct of this presidential campaign, and more specifically, your respective parts in its aftermath. As you are by now well aware, your actions, or failure to act, will have great repercussions nationally and internationally. What I do not wish to see happen is to see the results of active and willful wrongdoing to be given the imprimatur of official approval. Freedom and confidence in government rest on the citizen's ability to trust government. First and foremost, it is vital to the social compact between citizen and government that the government itself abide strictly by the spirit and letter of the law, i.e. -- act justly. >"Decency, Security and Liberty alike demand that government official shall be subjected to the rules and conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the laws scru -- Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, Olmstead v. United States, 277 US 348, 485 (1928) On a daily basis new reports detail how handcounts are being used to generate votes for the Gore camp where there were none: - the twisting, poking and manipulation of ballots, tape being placed under ballots, holding in place chads which had been struck out by Bush voters, or 'post it' notes covering the face of the ballot which would have revealed a vote for Bush; - possession of 'votamatic' machines in the hands by democratic operatives, who protested that they still needed to use it (oh???); - the devination of the 'will of the voter,' like ancient Oracles the entrails of sacrifices, here in the form of 'pregnant chads,' while studiously ignoring the clear, bright line of correctly and timely executed (i.e. lawful) ballots; - ballot recount stations whose floors become littered by chads which have somehow become separated from the official ballots, accompanied by reports of ballot counters now actually *eating* chads to hide the evidence; - the vicious decimation of military absentee ballots, whose technical infirmities came about through no fault of the serviceman-voter themselves: failure of postmark, or lack of witness, where none is required on the face of the ballot. The hypocrisy of the Gore campaign, whose cry otherwise is that 'every vote should count,' could not have been made clearer; - voter fraud by illegal aliens enhanced by voter cards sent out under the heading of Bill Clinton; - votes cast by felons; - ballots for Bush being placed and tallied with Gore votes; - ballots showing signs of having been manipulated after being left unguarded overnight. While there has always been corruption and attempts to rig elections as long as there have been elections, American citizens have the very reasonable expectation that a system is in place which will reveal, correct and punish wrongoing, rather than place the imprimatur of law on acts of corruption. I am concerned by the actions of the Supreme Court with regard to the rightful powers and duties of the Florida Secretary of State. I am hopeful that the Court, in light of the questionable conduct of the manual recount, does not so narrowly construe the rightful discretion of the Secretary as to trench upon her rightful authority. The Court must take special care to avoid appearances of departing from its narrowly confined authority to say what the law is, not what it **should** be, since such actions would tend to confirm, rather than allay, charges that it is following partisan interests and not the law. It is said that we have four boxes used to guarantee our liberty: The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box. It is imperative that government follow its own rules and act justly. If it acts to disregard its Constitutional restraints it, in effect, nullifies the vote of Americans by awarding the mantle of authority to those who have shown through their actions that they will say or do anything to gain and retain power. So instead of halting wrongdoing, it becomes complicit in and itself sullied by it. If the citizen sees that the branches of government are complicit in wrongdoing -- that government does not deem itself to be bound by the laws we have consented to live under, then this tells the citizen that law is no longer being used in the just manner, but instead as merely being construed as a one-way ratchet to aggrandize itself at the cost of the citizens freedom. It almost goes without saying, that no citizen is bound to follow the dictates of a governmental body which itself shows only contempt for the legal limits placed on its own office. >"When **I** use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean-- neither more nor less.' >'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you **can** make words mean so many different things.' >'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master----that's all.' > -- Lewis Carroll, "Through the Looking Glass." I urge the Court, the Legislature and the Secretary to abide by your oaths of office, to eschew partisanship, and to ensure that law, justice and freedom determine the outcome of this election. I demand this as a citizen, as I have right to, just as you are obligated. You have all been elected or appointed as champions in law, our fighters by proxy.

Calhoun!! http://www.mises.org/fullarticle.asp?control=548&month=26&title=Calhoun+Foresaw+This&id=26 Calhoun Foresaw This By Thomas J. DiLorenzo [Posted November 13, 2000] The county-by-county [County-by-County Map of the Election Results] electoral map published by USA Today showing that George W. Bush carried 2,434 counties covering 2.4 million square miles, compared to Al Gore's 677 counties covering about a half million square miles, suggests that the worst fears of one of America's greatest statesman and political philosopher, John C. Calhoun, may have finally come true. Calhoun is considered to be the last of the founding fathers. From 1810 to his death in 1850 he served as a member of Congress, secretary of war, vice president under presidents John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, U.S. Senator from South Carolina, and secretary of state under President John Tyler. Calhoun's posthumously published essay, "A Disquisition on Government," summarized his thoughts on politics and government and is a true masterpiece in political economy. It also has ominous implications for America in light of the recent election. Calhoun hailed the right of suffrage as "the indispensable and primary principle in the foundation of a constitutional government," but warned that in order for suffrage to serve this purpose the public must be sufficiently enlightened to understand their own rights under the Constitution and "the interests of the community," and "to appreciate the motives and conduct of those appointed to make and execute the laws." On these grounds the American public is failing miserably. Knowledge of most parts of the U.S. Constitution is almost nonexistent in American society, which has allowed a full-scale assault on individual liberty by government; the statist, lapdog media; the state-funded universities; and the cultural elites. The government schools not only fail to teach about the Constitution; they undermine it by brainwashing children with politically-correct, statist propaganda. Consequently, an incredible number of Americans remain unbelievably naive about the "motives and conduct of those appointed to make and execute the laws." The fact that the television show "The West Wing," which portrays the executive branch of government as comprised of a benevolent, even saintly, band of do-gooders motivated only by "the public interest," speaks volumes about the childish mentality of many Americans when it comes to government. As Joseph Schumpeter observed in 1950, the average citizen "expends less disciplined effort on mastering a political problem than he expends on a game of bridge." Our governmental rulers understand this, which is why they bury us in an avalanche of lies and propaganda about their motives and programs. As Gore adviser Paul Begala recently stated in frustration: "All this insistence on truthfulness on the part of both candidates [Gore and Bush] is getting out of control." Public ignorance, combined with a massive governmental propaganda machine, renders the right of suffrage almost useless in safeguarding liberty and assuring that government benefits primarily the ruled and not the rulers. Even worse, Calhoun wrote, is the tendency of democratic governments to divide the population into two groups: taxpayers and tax consumers, with the latter group employing the apparatus of the state top plunder the former group. "When once formed, the community will be divided into two great parties -- a major and minor -- between which there will be incessant struggles on the one side to retain, and on the other to obtain the majority . . . " Consequently, "some portion of the community must pay in taxes more than it receives back in disbursements; while another receives in disbursements more than it pays in taxes." The community is thus divided into "two great classes; one consisting of those who . . . pay the taxes...and the other, of those who are the recipients of their proceeds..." This is exactly what the USA Today county-by-county electoral map, and other post-election data, show. Gore's core support was in the inner cities, dominated by welfare recipients (including "affirmative action" welfare); the state capitols, around which reside thousands of state and local government bureaucrats dependent partly on federal largesse; the statist intellectual class which resides largely on the east coast, especially in New England; the leftist cultural elite on the California coast (the rest of California was solidly Republican); hordes of welfare-seeking immigrants, many of whom are illegal, along the Texas border; and the environmental zealots of the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere. Families earning more than $50,000 annually strongly supported George W. Bush, whereas those earning under $30,000 were strong supporters of Gore. Government has grown so unimpeded that the U.S. is on the precipice of being divided almost equally between the taxpaying and tax-consuming classes. As Calhoun warned, this could lead to "one class or portion of the community [being] elevated to wealth and power, and the other depressed to abject poverty and dependence, simply by the fiscal action of the government." This, too, seems to have come true in some regards. Richard Vedder and Lowell Galloway have shown that wages tend to be 25-40 percent higher in and around state capitols than in other areas of the country, a measure of the extent to which the governing class plunders the governed. And the tax burden makes it increasingly difficult for lower middle-class families to ascend the economic ladder. The power to tax in a democracy, warned Calhoun, will inevitably be used "for the purpose of aggrandizing and building up one portion of the community at the expense of another," which will "give rise to . . . violent conflicts and struggles" between the two competing parties." There hasn't been any violence in Florida as of this writing, although the Gore campaign has been doing its best to start a race war there with Jesse Jackson organizing mobs of blacks and telling them that racist Republicans have conspired to "disenfranchise" them. Riots are now apparently an "acceptable" electoral tactic (and have been since the 1960s). Calhoun was also prescient in foreseeing that the enemies of liberty would say anything -- anything -- to dilute the power of the Constitution. It is "a great mistake," Calhoun wrote, to suppose that a mere written Constitution would be sufficient to protect individual liberties because the party in power will always "have no need of [constitutional] restrictions" on governmental powers. Naive defenders of the Constitution will initially believe that it can be protected by "an appeal to reason, truth, justice, or the obligations imposed by the Constitution," whereas power-hungry statists will wage a perpetual political war against the Constitution with "cunning, falsehood, deception, slander, fraud, and gross appeals to the appetites of the lowest and most worthless portions of the community" until "the restrictions would be ultimately annulled, and the government be converted into one of unlimited powers." Does anyone deny that this is essentially the situation that U.S. citizens now find themselves in? Calhoun's suggested antidote to the evil of unlimited government was what he called the "concurrent majority." Under this system any community of citizens, including a state or some other group, would be given the right to veto federal legislation that it believed was unconstitutional and destructive of its constitutional rights. Calhoun believed that the concurrent majority would stop political plunder in its tracks and limit government to its constitutional functions. The concurrent majority is a form of nullification, which existed in the U.S. until 1861 and was championed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions. We had better begin seriously considering nullification, peaceful secession, and every other means possible of checking the ability of the federal government to loot the taxpaying population. For if the Left succeeds in achieving open borders, combined with a growing welfare state, then every penny of every American's wealth and income will be up for grabs to be distributed not only to other Americans, but to welfare leaches from all corners of the globe. -------- Thomas DiLorenzo is a professor of economcs in the Sellinger School of Business and Management at Loyola College in Baltimore.

Saturday, 18-Nov-00 11:49:15 Friends and brothers and sisters in Christ, Even now, folks are preparing to come and join us at the Indianapolis Baptist Temple from all over the nation. The U.S. Marshal Service has not come to seize this this place, but THERE WAS AN ASTONISHING DEVELOPMENT THIS MORNING! The Indianapolis Police Department AND the Marion County Sheriff's Department have told IBT unequivocally that THEY REFUSE TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE SEIZURE OF THE CHURCH! This is a major development in our favor. In addition, a U.S. Marshal in plain clothes came up to Colonel Bo Gritz this morning. He handed him a miniature replica of a U.S. Marshal's badge and told him, "There's a lot of guys down there (at headquarters) that don't want to have anything to do with this". Clearly they are very disturbed at the prospect of carrying a pastor and many, many Christians out the front door of this church with the world watching. The media has stayed with us around the clock, and treated this story very fairly. Let me underscore: IBT OWES NO TAXES. This is a false claim, and is documentable. This case is NOT ABOUT TAXES,IT IS ABOUT THE ABILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL THE CHURCH. PASTORS, MINISTERS, STREET PREACHERS, ACTIVISTS--HEAR MY PLEA!! If the government can do this to IBT, THEY CAN DO THIS TO YOUR CHURCH, OR they can dictate what you preach from the pulpit. They are already charging some of us with "hate crimes" when we preach against sodomy and abortion. If they establish this precedent, they will intimidate EVERY church and EVERY pastor into conforming the church's message to government edicts for fear of them stealing their properties. They have already silenced the "tax-exempt" 501 (c)(3) churches on many subjects, threateneing loss of "tax-exemption". YE MEN OF GOD, ARISE!! If ever there was a time to stand against the tide of evil this corrupt government has washed over this land, IT IS NOW! COME TO INDIANAPOLIS AND STAND WITH US! You rabid street preachers (not unlike myself) COME JOIN ME. I need you to join the other 30 ministers that are already here. We need men of backbone and Godly character and steel to stand with us. FOR CONSTANTLY UPDATED INFORMATION ON THIS SITUATION, GO TO: http://www.indianapolisbaptisttemple.com If you are considering coming, but need to speak to me, call: 540/730-4427 If you are media and want a report from inside IBT, call the number above as well. My friends, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to stand with Christians as a national public witness against evil and for the glory of Christ and His church. Please prayerfully consider joining us as soon as possible. A servant of Christ, Rev.

Fred Singer, a meteorologist at the University of Virginia,=20 challenged the very basis of the U.N.-sponsored conference, where negotiator= s=20 from 180 nations remained deadlocked yesterday in an attempt to draft rules=20 requiring cuts in greenhouse gases. "The climate has warmed in the last century, but this took place=20 before 1940. The hottest years in America were around 1940. We don't know th= e=20 cause of the warming, but we don't think it was human activity," Mr. Singer=20 told a meeting on the sidelines of the conference. Mr. Singer said he has found no evidence suggesting future extreme=20 weather events, such as severe storms or droughts, increases in infectious=20 diseases, or changes to forests and other ecosystems. He said there has been an increase in greenhouse gases but thinks=20 this has led to "a greening of the planet, improved agricultural yields and=20 more vigorous forest growth." His remarks came as negotiators worked overnight to piece together a= n=20 agreement with far-reaching consequences for the U.S. economy and environmen= t. Any agreement coming out of the negotiations, due to end today, coul= d=20 require Americans to cut their energy use and emissions by as much as=20 one-third by 2012. Mr. Singer used the scientific temperature data assembled by James=20 Hanson of NASA, who first highlighted the phenomenon of global warming, to=20 dispute the findings of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC= ). The panel's recommendations formed the basis of the climate-change=20 treaty signed in Kyoto, Japan, three years ago. The negotiators here are=20 trying to implement that treaty. Mr. Singer said he accepts evidence from temperature records all ove= r=20 the world that there appears to have been a pronounced warming since 1975,=20 with some of the hottest years in the 1990s. But he added that satellite records of the temperature three miles=20 up, which should show a similar trend, show no warming at all. "One explanation is that the satellites are wrong. The other=20 explanation that is my hypothesis is that the surface appears to be warming=20 but isn't really warming at all," he said. Bob Watson, chairman of the IPCC, has used the surface-temperature=20 records of the past 20 years to contend that the 20th century is the warmest= =20 in 1,000 years, but Mr. Singer disagreed. Mr. Singer said he places greater faith in the "proxy" records of=20 temperature, contained in tree rings, ocean sediments, ice cores and so on,=20 which he said show no warming since 1940. Thermometer readings may be misleading, he said. "Proxy records say=20 the global temperature has not increased in the past 20 years." Instead, "heat islands" caused by urbanization have distorted=20 thermometer readings, Mr. Singer said. He produced graphs from research conducted by the University of East= =20 Anglia and analyses of Greenland ice cores throughout 100,000 years publishe= d=20 in scientific papers to support his point. Mr. Singer is one of several scientists to challenge the broad=20 conclusions of the IPCC, a distillation of the work of 3,000 scientists from= =20 most of the leading meteorological institutes. He shared a platform with=20 Richard Coutney, from Britain's Institute of Economic Affairs, who suggested= =20 that the summary and conclusions of the IPCC's assessment of the climate had= =20 been manipulated by politicians.

Computer models used by scientists say warming in the atmosphere=20 should reflect changes in ground temperatures. The discrepancy needs to be resolved, Mr. Singer said. "We don't=20 believe it invalidates the models' predictions of the future. But it's a wea= kn ess, and we need to sort it out." Patrice Hill contributed to this article from The Hague.

Where are the marshals? Friends, it has been 10 days since the Indianapolis Baptist Temple was ordered to vacate their 22-acre, 50-year old church and Christian school. Christians continue to come to take a stand with the church. A core group of about 40 people has stayed around the clock since the Vacate Order on November 14th. There are many pastors and ministers from around the country who have come and gone (and come back). The number of folks here swells to as much as 1,000 on Sunday to a low of 50 some nights. The Indianapolis Star quoted head U.S. Marshal (a Baptist deacon) as saying in regard to the Baptist Temple "There is no right way to do a wrong thing"! Clearly he is conflicted and convicted. STUNNING DISCOVERY OF POSSIBLE CORRUPTION! I sent a team of picketers to the offices of the Receiver appointed by Judge Sarah Evans Barker to dispose of the property. When our picketers arrived, they decided to go up and ask some questions. When they arrived at the door, they saw only a sign for a law practice, and no sign for Atlantic Liquidators. After a discussion with one of the attorneys there, it was revealed that this corporation was set up SOLELY for the case of Indianapolis Baptist Temple! Also, the attorney handling the case had "moved on", and "nobody" was handling the matter as far as they knew! A visit to the Federal District Court House web site revealed that "someone" from Atlantic Liquidators had posted a notice saying that they were "refusing" the case! So, a company that no longer exists has refused a case that it was SPECIFICALLY FORMED FOR. This company was SPECIALLY PICKED BY JUDGE BARKER! How did she know about it? Who recommended this company to the Judge? Who benefits from the sale of the property? The local media has picked up this story and is running with it. The Marshal may reconsider seizing the church with the cloud of corruption hanging over the whole affair. We have learned that the IRS COMMONLY SETS UP BOGUS COMPANIES to receive property that it is seizing. This means the IRS gets ALL of the money involved, they pay no percentages to liquidators. This is BIG money. We are talking about some percentage of $6 million!! It is documented that the IRS has done this over 300 times in the last 5 years, in the state of California alone! PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY!! PLEASE COME TO INDIANAPOLIS AND STAND WITH INDIANAPOLIS BAPTIST TEMPLE!! My wife Beverly and my nine children arrived safely Tuesday night. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving together. Many families have come through here, some just staying for a day or two, and some staying a week. EVERY PERSON COUNTS AS WE STAND FOR THE CHURCH AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT WHO CLAIMS SOVEREIGNTY OVER HER!! That is truly what is at stake here. The government claims sovereignty over all churches (not just the ones that are corporations and subject to corporate law). The government is trampling the very right that the first clause of the First Amendment was written to establish permanently in America--THAT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS A SOVEREIGN ENTITY THAT IS UNTOUCHABLE BY THE FEDERAL OR STATE GOVERNMENT. To whom is a tax paid? Obviously, to one who has POWER OVER YOU to enforce it. The government has NEVER had authority over the church. They are breaking new and dangerous ground here. PLEASE COME AND STAND WITH US!!

Some background: Miami-Dade's canvassing board refused to manually recount its ballots but reversed itself on November 17 because of threats of legal action by the Gore campaign. The Miami-Dade manual recount began on November 20. The following night (November 21) the Florida Supreme Court issued a deadline of 5:00 p.m. Sunday, November 26, for all manual recounts to be finished. The next morning, Wednesday November 22, the Miami-Dade canvassing board decided that it did not have enough time to meet the 5-day Thanksgiving-weekend deadline for hand counting 654,000 ballots. Instead, it decided it would hand count only 10,750 votes that had been rejected by voting-counting machines. Keep in mind, there had been controversy about these 10,000 votes. One Miami-Dade poll worker insisted that these ballots had been discarded by voters who had been at first confused by the notorious "butterfly" ballot. These confused voters asked for another ballot, punched the new ballot correctly, and then left. Meanwhile, the old ballots were kept, and they accumulated into this pool of 10,000. Hence counting these double-punched and hanging-chad ballots was not an enfranchisement of confused voters but a double-counting intended to favor Al Gore. Reinforcing this perception of a rigged process was the further decision by the Miami-Dade canvassing board to close the manual recount to the public. In an uncharacteristically courageous fashion, the county Republican party swung its phone bank into action, calling all their voters to swarm the Stephen C. Clark Government Center to protest the venal ruling. The staunchly anti-communist Radio Mambi drummed up an additional few hundred protesters. The last straw for the inchoate junta came when Joe Geller, the chairman of the Miami-Dade Democratic Party, left one of the counting rooms with a disputed ballot in his pocket and proceeded to move behind closed doors. He was quickly surrounded by protesters and ordered to surrender the ballot. Police had to intervene to escort him to safety. Upstairs the real revolution began. The protesters stormed the office of the Miami-Dade supervisor of elections. It took several minutes for sheriff's deputies to restore order, but even they couldn't stop the deafening pounding and chanting on the election supervisor's doors: "Cheat, Cheat, Cheat, Cheat,..." The three members of the canvassing board were then led under heavy police guard back to the original public recount room from the room where they were conducting their secret tally for the minions of Al Gore. They then voted unanimously to stop all further hand counts. Although the Gore campaign tried to force the Miami-Dade board to resume a hand count, on Thanksgiving the Florida Supreme Court denied it. It was a tremendous blow from which the incipient junta could never recover. This local uprising by ordinary citizens backed into a corner by an insatiably corrupt establishment could be a valuable lesson for America's gun owners, the group most loathed and despised by the establishment's elite. Particularly backed into a corner are California gun owners. Under the recently passed law SB23, by December 31, 2000, if Californians own an "assault weapon," they have to do one of three things: register the gun with the California Department of Justice as an "assault weapon," sell the gun(s) to out-of-state buyer(s), or physically remove the gun(s) from the State of California. For "assault weapon" owners, failure to pursue one of these options is a felony offense. Of course SB23 is just another chapter in the campaign against semi-automatic rifles. It was begun in January 1989 by George Bush Sr. who banned imports of semi-automatics after a school shooting in Stockton, California. The second major chapter was written under Bill Clinton in Title XI of the Omnibus Crime Act of 1994, banning further production of "assault weapons." Gun producers found a way around the law by manufacturing guns with American-made receivers and imported parts sets. The price of semi-automatic rifles dropped precipitously, with AK-47s selling for just $286.00, down from $800-$1,200 in 1994. On August 18, 2000, a legal committee at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms put an end to this by forbidding further importation of parts sets. The next chapter in the war on the semi-automatic rifle will likely be written by either George W. Bush or Al Gore since neither of them has an ounce of respect for the Second Amendment. George W. Bush is in favor of banning importation of foreign-made, high-capacity magazines. Al Gore, while mouthing a phony respect for hunters' rights, would nationalize SB23. SB23 is only Title XI of the 1994 Crime Act in much more despotic garb. It even bans guns with thumbhole stocks (an artifact of the 1989 George Bush Sr. ban) and the capability of accepting detachable magazines. Even banned are rifles with fixed magazines that happen to be less than 30 inches in length. In the most crime-ridden urban areas, semi-automatic rifles have never been involved in more than 2% of shooting deaths. Study after study has shown that the recent drop in violent crime has no correlation with recent gun control efforts, yet the campaign against semi-automatic rifles continues unabated and at a fanatical pace. The ultimate intellectual origin of this push to completely ban the semi-automatic rifle is federal law enforcement agencies, most notably the US Marshalls, FBI, BATF, and DEA. The continued push to ban semi-automatic rifles by these agencies signifies a very sinister future they (and the elite they represent) have in mind for the rest of us. Which brings us back to the Miami-Dade rebellion. California gun owners shouldn't obey the registration requirements of SB23. Who owns which particular guns is none of the government's business and registration is only a prelude to confiscation. In deference to states' rights, California gun owners should vote with their feet, not just storing their guns at warehouses in Nevada or Arizona, but moving there as well. The real problem is when the complete ban on semi-automatic rifles moves to the federal level. A George W. Bush presidency would help the process along while a Gore presidency would quickly complete it. Like the Miami-Dade rebellion showed, the solution is at the local level. Local officials must be made to understand that if they genuflect to the totalitarian agendas of outsiders they will pay a price. Freedom-loving Americans in local communities must form a united front in large numbers to consistently impart this lesson to local officials. Even citizens of other local communities could help out a community under siege. Quick mobilization efforts could take place over cell phones, faxes, e-mail, and local talk radio as happened in Miami-Dade. It's doubtful that the 1993 federal massacre of 82 people at Waco or the wanton murder of Randy Weaver's wife and son could have occurred with such impunity in an environment of quick and heavy local mobilization. Indeed, the feds and their propaganda arm in the national media could have been handily run out of town. Three cheers to the patriots of Miami-Dade. Hopefully their model will inspire the rest of us.

Make Patriots of your neighbors, get the numbers of local news outlets and keep them handy. Prepare for the freedom thieves, sooner or later they will come.)

On December 8, 2000, his esteemable self, will honor Nebraska with his graceful presence at Kearney, Nebraska. He will speak at the University and will tour the Great River Road Arch. I think that all of those who love life and liberty and are within 300 miles of Kearney on that day should make a special effort to be there to make his wonderful visit significantly memorable. Donlan, you and your lovers of life could do something special. If there are a significant number of turkey hunters present we could form the Monica choir. A contingent of duck hunters could form a chamber group and commemorate our awesome leaders military record with a Duck anthem. Do any of you receiving this e-mail have any ideas? Can you get on board now and help to plan, promote and recruit? December 8 is just around the corner. We need to get at this. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know. This is a startling great opportunity. El Supremo has never been to Nebraska. Let's work to make this a speicial memory for him and let the rest of our great country know how much we love him.

In an important victory for advocates of civil liberties, the high court by a 6-3 vote ruled against Indianapolis, where police had erected the roadblocks to stop all motorists in an effort to halt the flow of illegal drugs through the city. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor declared for the court majority that the drug checkpoints violated the constitutional guarantees under the Fourth Amendment protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures of evidence. O'Connor said the ruling does not affect other roadblocks, which the court has previously held to be constitutional, to detect drunken drivers and to intercept illegal immigrants being smuggled across the U.S. border by car. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001128/ts/court_roadblocks_dc_4.html -- Bob Mueller If tin whistles are made of tin, what are basketballs made of?

The last action seen by the Katzenjammer Brigade was in 1995, when it opposed the Hillary Health Care Calvalcade in York, NE. It was a successful demonstration. The Katzenjammer Brigade is a spoof. It is a "militia" made up of volunteers who wear a pot or pan for a helmet and carry a mop or broom as a "weapon." We will march under the US Flag and a flag commorating the US Constitution. Cadence will be maintained by drummers using inverted five gallon buckets for drums. I need some volunteers that can use Turkey calls and some who can use Duck calls. With these instruments we will be able to play two of His Holiness's favorite tunes, the Monica March, and the Duck the Draft Shuffle. You should make up signs reflecting your affection for our auspicious leader such as Carry Out the Gorebage When You Leave and other expressions of endearment. I sent out some info on this this morning but have gotten back little response. Some of you are on other lists. Could you forward this message? We need at least a 100 volunteers to be really effective. Can you help? Do you have any ideas? I talked to the F.B.I. this afternoon to give them a heads up. I am also going to talk to the Kearney PD and also give them a heads up. If you decide to get involved (and I hope you will) be sure that you are not carrying any weapons upon your self or in your vehicle. Come on this is a golden opportunity to express your appreciation of the way our Honorable leader has upheld our Constitution and Liberties. Let's show him a proper recognition of his feeling our pain for the last eight years.
