See below for latest "ant-wax" news: Lawyer: FBI Seized Anthrax Vaccine =2Ec The Associated Press By MICHAEL FLEEMAN LAS VEGAS (AP) - Far from planning an anthrax attack, William Leavitt Jr. w= as involved in a bizarre deal to buy a $2 million germ-killing machine from an FBI informant who double-crossed him, Leavitt's lawyers said Friday. Leavitt was described by his attorneys as a well-meaning, if gullible scientist. He and Larry Wayne Harris, both microbiologists, were arrested in suburban Henderson Wednesday outside a medical office and charged with conspiracy to possess and possession of a biological agent. His lawyers said Leavitt was operating under the assumption that what Harri= s had was Anthrax vaccine, which is legal and safe. The FBI was awaiting tests Friday to determine if it was vaccine or materia= l grade anthrax, which is potent enough to kill thousands of people. Leavitt is married with three children and runs his own fire-protection business. The FBI says he also owns microbiological laboratories in his hometown of Logandale, Nev., and Frankfurt, Germany. His criminal attorney, Lamond Mills, said the FBI's informant, Ronald Rockwell, was trying to ``scam'' Leavitt into buying a germ-killing machine= =2E ``When he couldn't scam 'em, he went the other way. He became a good guy fo= r the FBI,'' Mills said. Leavitt's business lawyer, Kirby Wells, said the machine was called the AZ-= 58 Ray Tube Frequency Instrument Prototype, and was hyped by Rockwell in gloss= y brochures as being able to flush the body clean of bacteria and viruses. ``It looked like a bunch of bells and whistles,'' said Wells, who said he s= aw a picture of the machine. ``What made my client believe there was substance= to that thing, I don't know. I wish I did.'' A promotion on the Internet has a bold headline: ``ANTHRAX,'' and goes on t= o say the AZ-58 ``can treat large numbers of people at the same time.'' ``Has the greatest health discovery in history been suppressed?'' the ad as= ks. Leavitt was close to buying the machine in a $2 million deal, but wanted to test it before making a $100,000 down-payment and arranged to fly Harris to Las Vegas about a week ago to help, said Wells. Leavitt believed that Harris was transporting anthrax vaccine, Mills said. = But Rockwell told the FBI that Leavitt described it as military-grade. On the''NBC Nightly News'' Friday, Rockwell reiterated that Leavitt and Har= ris said they had military grade anthrax. ``They lied on what they were going to do,'' Rockwell said. ``It scared me = so bad.'' There is no phone listing for Rockwell in the Las Vegas area. His attorney = has not returned calls to The Associated Press. Leavitt and Harris were arrested Wednesday night after the FBI, with Rockwell's help, tailed the men to a medical office in suburban Henderson. Authorities removed a cooler and petri dishes from the office, and sealed t= he men's beige Mercedes in plastic before transporting it to an Air Force base= =2E Leavitt, 47, and Harris, 46, of Lancaster, Ohio, are being held without bon= d. In an affidavit, the FBI said described Rockwell as a cancer research scientist who was convicted of felony extortion in 1981 and 1982. But the F= BI has vouched for his credibility, saying he came forward without getting a d= eal and was a ``citizen performing his civic duty.'' Harris' attorney, Michael Kennedy, said Thursday that Rockwell's credibilit= y ``is something we're going to look into.'' It was unclear how Leavitt, a Mormon bishop with strong political ties, got hooked up with Harris, an alleged white supremacist who has been plugging h= is self-published book about germ warfare. The FBI has said Harris met Rockwell last summer at a Denver science conference, while Leavitt's attorneys said they believed Rockwell got the m= en together. Mills said the results of the FBI tests will determine if they remain unite= d in their defense. ``If the tests come back non-toxin, there is no case,'' said Mills. ``If it comes back military grade, then whoa, time out, that's not our fault. We separate from (Harris) completely.'' AP-NY-02-20-98 1940EST Copyright 1997 The Associated Press.

Our God is marching on. Julia Ward Howe Battle Hymn of the Republic Here was a woman alleging that the Commander-in-Chief of the world's paramount nuclear power had the self-control of a priapic goat and the press did not see reason to find out if there was evidence to support her claims. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard Daily Telegraph LITTLE ROCK - America has recently celebrated President's Day, the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and it is a bizarre paradox to realize who now sits in their place. Nowhere are folks so embarrassed about it as here in this attractive Southern city. We visited a Wal-Mart store in Benton, Arkansas on Saturday morning and asked people if they were proud of Bill Clinton, but despite our best efforts, we were unable to find a single person who would speak up for him. Since the media tell us his approval rating is approaching 100% and the Exegesis poll shows 100% disapproval, and was conducted personally by the editor and thus subject to no margin of error whatsoever, we are forced to conclude that either we interviewed a very unusual sample of the good folks of Arkansas or the media are lying to us. Which could it possibly be? There is also a gruesome side to Little Rock. Some enterprising folks do a Clinton Tour, showing where he lived, worked out, ate at McDonalds, and the churches he and his wife attended - he was at Immanuel First Baptist while she attended First United Methodist. The tour is now extended to include the infamous Rose Law Firm, the Excelsior Hotel and the locations where the bodies of various friends and colleagues of Mr. Clinton have been found. It is beginning to resemble the famous 'Jack the Ripper' tour in London. A brief visit to Arkansas teaches a great deal about the President's early life. Hot Springs is an elegant resort in a small valley sandwiched between Lake Ouachita and Lake Catherine, where the springs are genuinely hot. Gentry used to come here to take the waters. Today, people still come from surrounding towns to fill bottles with hot mineral water, and bathing facilities along Bathhouse Row still exist, even though most are now closed. This is where Bill Clinton grew up. Between First and Second Grades, he transferred to Ramble Elementary School from his first home in Hope, while his mother ran a house at 1011 Park Avenue, on the north side of town. He was a bright student who played in the Trojan Pep Band and enjoyed chili cheeseburgers and Grapettes at Hamburger Hangout. In his mid-teens, he became Master Counselor of the Masonic Temple's DeMolays. At McClard's Bar-B-Q, young Bill and his friends would enjoy the ribs, cole slaw and beans, washed down with a creamy milkshake. Purely in the interests of research, we sampled some of these delicious items on your behalf. McClard's walls are lined with photos of the great and famous, including the President and Speaker Newt Gingrich. So how was it that a bright young man from a small southern resort became the most corrupt President in American history? Like all of us, he has flaws. This is not said in an accusatory fashion, but in an attempt to understand the complex man who sits, at least for a short while longer, in the Oval Office. It is no exaggeration to suggest that his principal flaw, manifested in addictions to image, sex and other gratifications of the flesh, has dominated his life. He dropped a small hint recently. At the National Prayer Breakfast, Mr. Clinton quoted the prayer of King Solomon: "I am only a little child, and I do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among people you have chosen - a great people - too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong." (1 Kings 3: 7-9). It was fitting for him to quote King Solomon, who was renowned for his 300 wives and 700 concubines. This was the most honest self-evaluation the President has yet made. He cannot be pleased to witness the results of his soft-shoe shuffle around the truth. Worldwide, great dictators and small children alike are discussing the intimate details of the Commander-in-Chief's sex life. His conduct is teaching a generation that truth and falsehood carry equal moral weight, and that lies, adultery, bribes, blackmail and threats are all perfectly acceptable, especially on the road to political power. While we await the mystical denouement of the White House drama, there are humorous moments, one of which took place this week here in Little Rock. As Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reports in the [London] Daily Telegraph, one of Bill Clinton's closest friends, Beth Coulson, was ambushed by investigators in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit trying to serve her a subpoena as she was getting into her car on Country Club Boulevard. Having mounted a subtle surveillance operation, they ran across the sidewalk waving the papers at her. At first she resisted, diving into her vehicle and locking herself inside. But when the subpoena was placed under the windshield wiper, she admitted defeat. As a former Clinton-appointed judge, she could hardly be seen to be evading the due process of the law quite so blatantly. She is one of dozens of Bill Clinton's female friends who are participating in this intriguing game of cat and mouse. Some have gone to ground, others have suddenly found pressing business overseas. When Mr. Clinton made a desperate attempt this week to have the case dismissed, Mrs. Jones' lawyer, Donavan Campbell Jr., said: "Mrs. Jones looks forward to presenting to the court her substantial proof of defendant Clinton's pattern and practice of predatory behavior toward women, including state and federal employees, and his vast efforts to silence those who would speak the truth." We shall have to wait for that evidence until Mr. Clinton's trial opens on May 27, but the fear and distrust of him in Arkansas suggest that his efforts to silence those who would speak the truth about him have stretched far beyond this particular lawsuit. The Clinton body count currently stands at 105. In his new book, "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton", Mr. Evans-Pritchard discusses a few of the murders of Mr. Clinton's associates and colleagues, his ties to organized crime in Arkansas, and his alleged collusion with one of the nation's biggest cocaine-smuggling operations. He also describes how the White House has corrupted the Justice Department and has used the FBI against political opponents, among other things. As he wrote in the Daily Telegraph recently: "For all his charm, this President now looks a very, very, very bad man. Given such serious accusations, it is strangely deflating to find him only in the dock for this alleged subornation of a concubine. But they convicted Al Capone on tax evasion and sometimes you have to take what you can get. Besides, the saga of Paula Jones is illuminating. For it brings into focus the modus operandi of this White House, not to mention the question of armed police allegedly sent as pimps to corral vulnerable women - total strangers - as if they were prostitutes. It was obvious to any journalist who took the trouble to investigate that this was not a trumped-up allegation or 'tabloid trash' as the President's lawyer called it, even if there was room for doubt about the exact sequence of events at the Excelsior Hotel. But the American press did not bother to ascertain the facts. Here was a woman alleging that the Commander-in-Chief of the world's paramount nuclear power had the self-control of a priapic goat and the press did not see reason to find out if there was evidence to support her claims." Mr. Clinton is certainly not the first leader to be driven from power in disgrace, though few have departed in such complete denial, at such a slow pace and in a manner determined to bring down half of Washington with him. The hot topic of conversation in Little Rock and Washington remains how and when he will depart and whether he will ever come clean and tell the truth. The Ceaucescus were overthrown and shot by firing squad; Hitler committed suicide before justice could be done. Like all bullies, Mr. Clinton is not a brave man. It will be interesting to see how he and his wife exit the political stage. One can only hope that he will do so quickly and quietly and before further damage is done to America's overburdened soul. As the enormity of the truth emerges, Mr. Clinton's options for maneuver are becoming somewhat limited. He may be feeling trapped, and when the game is almost up, desperate men do desperate things. As his friend, King Solomon, also said: "The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast." (Proverbs 5: 22). Yet, we must not lose sight of the essence of this matter: it really is not about the lurid sexual dalliances with casual whores, terrified employees or God-fearing women, even if their numbers run into the hundreds. It is about the murders, the blackmail, the thefts, the abuse of power both in Little Rock and in Washington, and it is about next week's scandal, the Senate's confirmation that the very heart of the US Government was infiltrated by Chinese espionage with Mr. Clinton's acquiescence. It is about deliberately lying under oath, and about repeated violations of the very same Constitution of the United States that, in his Oath of Office, the President swore he would "preserve, protect, and defend". Those who wish to see these difficulties resolved for the greatest good will urge the President to proceed to the next step. For his sake, and America's sake, he must now confess the whole truth and repent. In case he should find himself, for once, at a loss for words, we hope these will be appropriate for him and anyone else who feels the desire to begin a new life, unencumbered by whatever has happened in the past: "Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against Thy holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, spare Thou those who confess their faults, restore Thou those who are penitent, according to Thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus Our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous and sober life, to the glory of Thy Holy Name. Amen." (The Book of Common Prayer, Rite 1) For years, the media and other Clinton associates have been bribed with favors. To the eternal shame of American journalism, those bribes have bought silence. Yet how much longer will these associates be willing to sacrifice their integrity for a disgraced man who is on his way out of office and whose only hold over them will soon be nothing more than a threat to use his underworld connections to cause them harm? As the White House and the media spiral into a panicked whirlwind of half-truths, outright lies, distractions and thorough confusion, it is important to retain a clear vision of reality. Let us be encouraged by Paul's words: "Be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry." (2 Timothy 4: 2-5). Faithfulness to God, family, duty and country represent the best of American and Christian virtues. Let us hold fast. Our God is marching on. =87 Steve Myers =D7 Editor _________________________________________________ Exegesis is also published in "Rich Text" format, in which the column appears in color and with different sizes and styles of text.

Jim Guy Tucker reached a plea agreement Friday and promised to cooperate with investigators who have spent the last four years examining the business dealings of President and Hillary Rodham Clinton before they arrived in Washington. Tucker, who pleaded guilty to a tax evasion conspiracy charge, has long been considered a potentially significant witness in the inquiry because of his involvement in a failed land deal involving a corrupt savings association. Mrs. Clinton did legal work on the land deal, known as Castle Grande, which was built on a series of sham transactions and created some of the biggest losses for Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan in Little Rock, Ark. Madison Guaranty was operated by the Clintons' former business partners, and was ultimately bailed out by the federal government at a taxpayer expense of more than $60 million. Mrs. Clinton has testified that she did nothing improper in her handling of the Castle Grande deal, that her work on the project was minimal, and that she could not recall many details. But a report prepared by Republicans on the Senate Whitewater committee challenged her version of events and suggested she was more heavily involved than she has acknowledged. Tucker also has extensive knowledge of the Clintons' dealings with James and Susan McDougal, their business partners in the Whitewater land venture. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Susan Thomases, a lawyer for the Clintons, directed a reporter to Tucker to understand what concerns the Clintons had about Mr. McDougal. Tucker and Mr. McDougal had been partners in a number of ventures. Officials at the White House said Friday that they could not comment on Tucker's plea agreement. But Tucker's plea was seen Friday as welcome news by Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, who has come under withering criticism for pursuing an ever-expanding inquiry that now encompasses the Monica Lewinsky investigation in Washington. "The plea agreement anticipates that Gov. Tucker's cooperation will constitute substantial assistance to the United States," Starr said. One of Starr's deputies, W. Hickman Ewing Jr., also hailed the agreement. "We do believe this will be a significant advancement toward the goals of this investigation," Ewing said in front of the courthouse in Little Rock, where Tucker pleaded guilty. He would not say what information he expected to get. Tucker, 54, refused to say whether he had any information of value to the investigators. "I guess everyone would have their own interpretation of that," the former governor said after his court appearance. "What may be important to some people may not be important to others. My family and I have been through a nightmare for the last four years, and it is time that that come to an end." Throughout much of his career, Tucker had been a rival of Clinton's. After Clinton was elected president in 1992, Tucker succeeded him as governor of Arkansas. But in 1996, Tucker resigned in disgrace after being convicted of two felony counts in the fraud trial of the McDougals. Because of serious health problems, Tucker was spared a jail sentence. But he was indicted on separate charges of making false statements to obtain a federally backed loan, defrauding the IRS, and trying to hide the profits from a multimillion-dollar cable television deal. They were resolved Friday when he pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge of engaging in a sham bankruptcy to avoid paying federal income tax and agreed to talk to investigators about what he knows on a wide array of subjects. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors said that they would not recommend a prison sentence. The count he pleaded guilty to carried a maximum sentence of five years. Prosecutors also agreed not to retry Tucker on the other two felony convictions should they be overturned by an appeals court. Thursday he completed 18 months of home detention, the sentence for those charges. Tucker agreed to make restitution and pay any back taxes and to serve probation, as determined by a judge at a later proceeding.

Of thirty members, Committee to Restore the Constitution, who have initiated similar action in their States, citizens of Wisconsin are first to succeed in generating massive public demand for public hearing before a State legislative committee indicting the subversive United Nations Organization. Success of this early legislative action is the result of organizing 'people power': 1. Designating leaders who brought the issue before county commissions requesting 'letter of support' and State legislative hearing on AJR 67, addressed to State lawmakers in their districts. 2. Structuring 'telephone trees' and computer outreach calling upon citizens to demand favorable support of AJR 67 by their State legislators in guiding the resolution through the legislature. 3. Posting news releases to newspapers, radio stations and television stations covering (a) introduction of the resolution to State legislators, and (b) providing background information/documentation on facts in the case. 4. Providing documents and assistance to members of the State-Federal Relations Committee in preparation for public hearing on AJR 67. Network of citizens and Constitution-oriented organizations, established by persistance and skills of Mrs Meves, created a 'model' operation and a 'standing room only' attendance at subsequent hearing. Photo copy, "1997 Assembly Joint Resolution 67", State of Wisconsin, and copy Col Roberts' testimony before State-Federal Relations Committee, State of Wisconsin, 29 October 1997, available.

Michigan Dept. of State Police, 491 U.S. 58 (1989)] itself makes clear that the distinction between official-capacity suits and personal-capacity suits is more than "a mere pleading device." ...[O]fficers sued in their personal capacity come to court as individuals. A government official in the role of personal-capacity defendant thus fits comfortably within the statutory term "person." Cf. id. at 71 n. 10 ("[A] state official in his or her official capacity, when sued for injunctive relief, would be a person under =A71983 because 'official-capacity actions against the State'")...Through =A71983, Congress sought "to give a remedy to parties deprived of constitutional rights, privileges and immunities by an official's abuse of his position." Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167, 172 (1961). Accordingly, it authorized suits to redress deprivations of civil rights by persons acting "under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage." 42 U.S.C. =A71983 And while that's about State Officials, ANOTHER ITEM THAT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST: If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any inhabitant of any State, Territory, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States or because of his having so exercised the same; or If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured -- They shall be fined not more than $10,000.00 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results, they shall be subject to imprisonment for any term of years or for life.

For education and discussion. Not for commercial use. The Reagan Information Interchange www.reagan.com Larry Harris - A dangerous Kook with Anthrax or Patriot? Microbiologist Harris Has been Warning People About Biological War By: Mary Mostert, Editor The headlines scream: "Man Arrested for Anthrax Possession Bragged he Could "wipe out New York" Larry Wayne Harris and William Leavitt are accused of illegally possessing "the deadly germ anthrax" and, the report states, bragging that they had "enough to attack New York City subways. Yet, further down in the report, the report states that "Harris, identified by the FBI as a member of the Aryan Nations, was previously given probation after pleading guilty to illegally obtaining bubonic plague bacteria through the mail in 1995. He is also author of a self-published book called "Bacteriological Warfare: A Major Threat to North America." "Leavitt, who has no criminal record, owns a microbiology lab in rural Logandale, about 60 miles north of Las Vegas, and another in Frankfurt, Germany, according to the affidavit prepared by FBI Special Agent John H. Hawken." By inference and suggestion the public is led to believe that these men were about ready to "wipe out a city." Yet, that is not what they said and, based on Harris' writings, is actually the opposite of what he believes. In his book, short wave radio shows, cassettes and writings Harris expresses very real concern for what he believes is a plot by Moslems to destroy America with bacteriological warfare. He claims in one of his cassettes that there is an Iraqi "plan to attack America in 100 areas with bubonic plague and anthrax. He describes the dangers and how to protect yourself." Actually, this view of Iraq is quite similar to that now being expressed by President Clinton - that Saddam Hussein is a such a great threat to America that we need to go over and bomb them. At this point in time we do not know what was in the vials that Harris and Leavitt had in the possession. I, frankly, don't know what the laws are concerning anthrax bacteria. Anthrax, after all, is quite common. It usually attacks and kills cattle. And, if Harris believed that the American people need to know how to protect themselves from it, his having a vial of it does not prove that he was going to use it on a city. This is what we have a legal system for. It is up to that system to determine what they were doing - but, as Clinton supporters say on a daily basis, he is innocent until proved guilty. The threat of biological warfare comes not only from Iraq - but from other countries, if we are to believe recent articles on the subject. In November 1997 the Washington Times reported: "China has finished building a major production plant in Iran for special equipment used in making chemical weapons, according to a classified U.S. intelligence report. "The top-secret document says that Chinese technicians completed work in June on a factory that makes "glass-lined equipment" but that final delivery of some equipment for the facility, along with chemical-weapons materials, was held up temporarily by the Beijing government. "Glass-lined equipment is essential in the production of chemical warfare agent precursors and is controlled by the Australia Suppliers Group," the report says. "A U.S. official said building the equipment factory may violate the recently concluded Chemical Weapons Convention, which bars international cooperation in developing poison weapons and which both China and Iran have signed. "The Australia group is a 30-nation forum seeking to halt the spread of chemical and biological weapons by restricting transfers of equipment and materials -- including glass-lined equipment needed to neutralize the corrosive effects of chemicals used in making poison gas. "China and Iran are not part of the group but may be subject to sanctions under U.S. proliferation law." This is Iran, not Iraq. From CIA documents, some members of the Senate clearly feel that Iran is a greater danger for biological warfare than Iraq. "Sen. John Ashcroft, Missouri Republican and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee," the Washington Times noted, "said China's work in building the facility bolsters a recent CIA report "which says that China is the world's worst proliferator of weapons of mass destruction." "The CIA report not only designated China on nuclear and chemical, but it also indicated that that included biological weapons," Mr. Ashcroft said during a luncheon meeting with reporters and editors at The Washington Times. "Other orders paid for by Tehran's Razak Laboratories in 1995 and Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries in Tabriz, but not delivered, include 49 metric tons of alkyl dimethylamine -- used in making detergent -- and 17 metric tons of sodium sulfide, a chemical used in making mustard gas." In a different article, entitled "New Agent XV Said to be in Iraq," the Washington Times talked about Larry Harris and his efforts to warn the American people about the dangers of biological warfare. Noting that the information in the article, reporter Richard Finke wrote: "This report is highly reliable as it is sourced from publicly available media and well-placed private individuals within sympathetic intelligence departments. It was verbally reported to me directly and previous experience has been acutely accurate. "Larry Harris, Registered Microbiologist, previously much maligned as 'Dr. Frankenstein,' has his book on civil defense against Biological Warfare now in the Library of Congress, according to his publisher, Virtue International. In fact, it has been declared to be an item of "emminent domain" subject to open government use as needed without obligation to obtain the author's prior permission (for a fee yet)! His book is available for $19.95." So, what's really going on here? Has the government captured a dangerous enemy of the American people and foiled a mad man's attempt to destroy a city? Or, perhaps, has the government captured and silenced a patriot who knows too much? The timing of Harris arrest seems odd. Is this all part of an effort to confuse and propagandize the American people? Unfortunately, when the President of the United States is a known liar, only a very na=EFve American would automatically believe White House commentary on this or any other subject. Perhaps the President is telling the truth - but, with his record, we are taking a big risk assuming that what he says is true.
