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.

Shortly after winning the 1996 presidential election, Bill Clinton told a gathering of fellow Democrats that his opponents constitute a cancer on American politics, and swore to excise them from the political scene during the next four years. Before that, he claimed that our Constitution is "radical," and that its authors may have set aside too many freedoms and rights for ordinary American citizens. On the evening of Dec. 31, 1998, a reporter for CNN Headline News named Candy Crowley was talking about the dimming prospects for a Senate censure of the recently impeached Clinton, in the face of insistence from "conservatives" that the Constitution requires that the President stand trial. Crowley bemoaned the fact that censure, "a popular, mainstream idea," was going down in flames on Capitol Hill. Political discussion (and "reporting") throughout 1998, and indeed since 1992 by some odd coincidence, has been brim-full of such indictments of conservatives and the things we hold dear. We're "extremists," they say. We revere a "radical" Constitution and use it to shoot down "popular, mainstream" ideas. One might be excused for getting the impression that those speaking don't like us much. Indeed, they despise conservatives and conservatism. They hold the Constitution in contempt as an obstacle to their imposing on us uneducated, unenlightened, unwashed masses the kind of shining bureaucracy on a hill that they believe will bring about Heaven on Earth. So much for the separation of church and state. But what's most disturbing to someone like me, someone who though young at the time nevertheless remembers quite well the message of the New Left in 1968, is that the price of one Summer of Love seems to be a decade-long Winter of Hate from the same bunch. Of course, the Summer of Love was only one face of the Boomer Left -- that same splinter of American society also gave us the terrorist Weather Underground, the thuggish Students for a Democratic Society, and the murderous Black Panther Party (ask David Horowitz if you don't want to believe me). The gentle, dope-smoking hippie popularized in those songs by the Mamas & Papas, or in "Hair," was simply the benign face that the movement's darker elements found useful to win acceptance of their agenda by once-mainstream liberals and their successors, the moderates. The Summer of Love icon remains strong with many in politics and media who have rationalized the devastation caused by their "ideas," and by their constant suppression of opposition, on moral grounds rooted in the presumption of their own moral unimpeachability. After having gained ascendancy preaching that "the end does not justify the means," they have come around 180 degrees to the certainty that any means, however foul, are justified if they help to keep themselves on top and their opponents in the gutter. After all, their opponents are, by definition, evil; they want to stop The Anointed from carrying out their mission, which would be divine if there were a god, which of course there isn't, but it's still a moral imperative that brooks no dissent. Thus their slavish devotion to The Impeached One. In their view, he stands like a colossus, between us e-e-e-e-e-evil conservatives and the people at large, blocking our message with an unprecedented talent for distraction, and co-opting any ideas that threaten to be popular with the hoi polloi on whose goodwill his power depends. His interests may have nothing real in common with those of the true Boomer Leftists, but he frustrates us conservatives, and that's enough. Since we have no claim on the Summer of Love heritage that he and his supporters have wrapped themselves in, we are by definition hateful, and therefore fair game for their own hate. At the same time they tut-tut over the vengefulness of capital punishment, and argue that "an eye for an eye" is an outdated ethic, in politics they return real hate for perceived hate, real evil for alleged evil. And when the bombs are being dropped by their guy, and promise to derail efforts to punish him for his crimes, suddenly it's a "good" war. They don't want Albert Gore, Jr. to be president before 2001 -- and many of them don't want him at all. They know that he does more damage than good to the Green agenda with his lack of knowledge, his rhetorical clumsiness, and his lackluster persona. They know that as president Gore would be unable to carry off the kind of hate campaign on which Clinton has thrived. Where Clinton comes off (God help us!) as a good-ole-boy trying to do right, Gore would be perceived more accurately: as a hack politician trying to manipulate public opinion for his own benefit. Where Clinton has succeeded beyond anyone's wildest nightmares, Gore would be the conservative commentator's dream. And with Clinton no longer in the spotlight to distract the people, Gore would be recognized instantly as the reality that is the flip side of Dan Quayle's reputation. And so they are afraid. And fear is a primal emotion, far more basic than love. The modern face of the Boomer Left is that of a prince past his prime, soured on life and bereft of his ideals, blaming his misfortunes on those whom he once claimed to love -- and plotting their destruction in revenge. And that is where the love went. - -30- January 3, 1999 ================================================================ EDITOR'S NOTE: "In the Wilderness" is going on a brief hiatus, but will return in two weeks' time. ================================================================ **Visit the IN THE WILDERNESS archives** http://www.mosquitonet.com/~mcgehee/advance.htm The views expressed herein are entirely those of the author(s), and do not reflect those of any person or group with whom the author(s) may be affiliated, unless explicitly labelled as doing so.

The document, a 1993 letter from FBI Director William Sessions to Janet Reno, was obtained from the Department of Justice using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The FBI letter to Reno states "During the June 30, 1993 meeting with the National Security Council staff to discuss the status of the Presidential Decision and Review Directives concerning key-escrow encryption technology and telecommunications trends, which was attended by Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell, the issue of a recommended solution to the law enforcement access problem, or the digital telephony issue, was discussed." The Department of Justice withheld many of the documents seen by Hubbell, including a SECRET report from the FBI on "Requirements For the Surveillance of Electronic Communications." The June 30, 1993 letter from Sessions to Reno states that the Whitewater figure attended a secret White House briefing on U.S. computer chip policy. In 1993, President Clinton considered mandatory legislation for a special computer chip called CLIPPER to be manufactured into all U.S. computers. According to a SECRET FBI report from 1992, the CLIPPER chip contained a "exploitable feature" which allowed the Federal Government to intercept and decode computer communications. The letter proves Ms. Reno appointed her trusted Assistant Attorney General Webster Hubbell to over-see the secret National Security Agency (NSA) encryption chip project in 1993. According to documents obtained using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Hubbell attended at least one other meeting at the National Security Agency (NSA) Headquarters in May 1993, along with White House lawyers Vince Foster and Bernard Nussbaum. Ms. Reno has been heavily involved in the making of computer security policy of interest to China since 1993. She has also supported a view to monopolize the computer security industry under the Federal government. One 1996 CIA report noted that Ms. Reno wanted to monitor all American domestic computer communications such as e-mail, using a technique to secretly intercept and decode any messages. According to CIA Director John Deutch, the government would mandate all computers be equipped with a special "back-door" system called "key recovery". Federal agents would use a secret "key" to secretly enter a back door and read any computer communication. According to the 1996 report to V.P. Gore by CIA Director Deutch, Ms. Reno proposed an all out Federal take-over of the computer industry. The Justice Department, proposed "legislation that would ... ban the import and domestic manufacture, sale or distribution of encryption that does not have key recovery." Prime targets for monitoring would be foreign governments, banks, corporations, and individuals opposing the Clinton administration. The keys were to be held by "key recovery agents" licensed by the Commerce Department. According to Congressional investigators, documents from Hubbell's personal schedule for 1993 show that the Whitewater figure met multiple times at the White House on a top secret computer chip project called CLIPPER. Hubbell met with the then National Security Council (NSC) advisor George Tenet. Tenet is currently the Director of the CIA. According to George Tenet's SECRET White House email, Ron Brown insisted that the Commerce Department be one of the key holders or be in charge of licensing key holders. Hubbell resigned from the Justice Department in April of 1994. In late June 1994, Lippo boss James Riady met with John Huang and Bill Clinton during five days of White House visits. Early the next week, a Lippo unit paid Hubbell about $100,000. In December 1994, Hubbell pled guilty to several felony charges relating to illegal billing in the Whitewater affair. Webster Hubbell also cited his Fifth Amendment rights to not testify before the Senate Congressional hearings. Two weeks after the Lippo money was given to Mr. Hubbell, John Huang got his job at the Commerce Department as Assistant Secretary. Huang's position determined technology transfers that went to places such as Indonesia and Communist China. Mr. Huang has taken the Fifth Amendment. His wife, Jane Huang, has taken the Fifth Amendment. Commerce/Lippo/DNC fundraiser and secret cleared John Huang was briefed 37 times on encryption communications by the CIA while working at the Brown controlled Commerce Department. Immediately after each briefing, Huang would walk across the street to the Lippo/Stephens Group offices and make long distance phone calls and send faxes to points unknown. Key recovery or key escrow is a government back door system designed to secretly monitor computers. Key recovery has a big downside, according to a former top Clinton official. Key Recovery can be abused by foreign powers to perform economic espionage against the U.S. or worse, to monitor political opponents around the world. "Can Key Recovery be used against dissidents and political opponents?" questioned Admiral William McConnell, the former National Security Administration Director under President's Bush and Clinton. "In a word, YES." Admiral McConnell is considered the father of the CLIPPER chip. McConnell ran the NSA under Clinton. The role of Webster Hubbell in CLIPPER raises the specter of economic and military espionage at the highest level. Orwellian computer chip technology abused by oppressive foreign governments, targeting their citizens and Americans around the globe. In fact, it was the "exploitable" feature of CLIPPER that worried U.S. government officials. The FBI Director wrote two major papers to Clinton NSC advisor George Tenet early in February of 1993. The FBI documents reveal that CLIPPER had flaws which could compromise all the computers so equipped. The FBI Director wrote "This design means that the list of chip keys associated with the chip ID number provides access to all CLIPPER secured devices, and thus the list must be carefully generated and protected. Loss of the list would preclude legitimate access to the encrypted information and compromise of the list could allow unauthorized access." The CLIPPER flaw worried other U.S. government officials. NASA decided to decline to use any CLIPPER device. In 1993 NASA Associate Administrator for Management Systems and Facilities, Benita A. Cooper, wrote "There is no way to prevent the NSA from routinely monitoring all encrypted traffic. Moreover, compromise of the NSA keys, such as in the Walker case, could compromise the entire system." Please note, Ms. Cooper referred to Soviet spy John "Walker" who is serving life in prison for disclosing U.S. Navy secret codes. In 1993 Ms. Cooper did not know of Lippo, Huang, nor Hubbell but her prophetic prediction was not so remarkable in retrospect. The role of Webster Hubbell and the First Lady at the Rose office law firm goes much deeper than Whitewater land fraud. During the 1980s, Mrs. Clinton and Webster Hubbell worked on a secret NSA project for a Rose office law firm client. This too is also clearly documented by FOIA request. Mrs. Clinton, Hubbell and Vince Foster worked on a NSA contract for Systematics of Arkansas, a firm then owned by Riady partner Jackson Stephens. Nor is the involvement of the Riadys, Huang, Hubbell, Foster, and Mrs. Clinton in a White House scandal a conspiracy theory. In 1993, the Arkansas travel firm Wide World Travel was selected by Hillary Clinton to replace the illegally fired Presidential Travel Office staff. Wide World Travel was then owned by the Lippo Group. The new FBI letter is clear evidence that Ms. Reno is in conflict of interest. She is NOT investigating the penetration of Chinese military agents inside the Clinton White House. A real investigation of the Chinese intelligence operations involving advanced U.S. secure communications should involve Webster Hubbell, General Reno, Bill Clinton and the First Lady. However, no FBI agent wishing to keep his job will show up at Janet Reno's door to ask questions - much less try to interview Mrs. Clinton. General Reno can only avoid charges of direct conflict by immediately appointing an independent Special Counsel to investigate possible treason by the President of the United States. ================================================================ New Hubbell Document released by FBI and other references - http://www.softwar.net/ fbi.html ================================================================ 1 if by land, 2 if by sea.

RE: Pro-gunner for Newt's Seat. From: Larry Pratt, Executive Director Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund January 5th, 1999 Dear Friend of the Second Amendment: Like you, I was delighted when Newt Gingrich announced his resignation, both as Speaker of the House and as Representative for Georgia's Sixth Congressional District. Newt did a lot of damage to your gun rights: 1) Newt sank the pro-gun Smith amendment 2) Newt passed the Lautenberg gun ban 3) Newt passed the anti-gun "Terror" bill 4) and the list goes on and on. Now you and I have a chance to elect a true pro-gun member of Congress in Newt's place. Dr. Christina Jeffrey (a professor at Kennesaw State University in Georgia) has recently announced her candidacy for this seat. CHRISTINA JEFFREY IS MORE THAN JUST A PRO-GUN LADY -- SHE'S A GUN RIGHTS ACTIVIST LIKE YOU AND ME. THE OTHER CONTENDER IS A PROVEN ANTI-GUNNER AND A PROVEN LOSER: former Georgia State Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Marietta). He's already lost twice in two attempts to step up to higher office. The bottom line is Christina Jeffrey's campaign needs to raise $150,000 immediately. The election will most likely be held sometime in February -- just 6 weeks away. The election will be over before you know it. So please, send the most generous contribution you can: $1,000, $500, $250, $100 or whatever you can afford to: "CHRISTINA JEFFREY FOR CONGRESS" P.O. BOX 1445 KENNESAW, GA 30144 Christina Jeffrey's opponent is a multi-millionaire with a long anti-gun history. As State Senator, Johnny Isakson co-authored the Handgun Control, Inc. version of the so-called Georgia "Brady Registration" bill. In 1993, Mr. Isakson got it passed through the Georgia Senate. But gun rights activists in Georgia managed to kill it later in the Georgia House of Representatives. Unfortunately in 1995, the so-called "Brady Registration" passed into law in Georgia. Johnny Isakson also pushed to let cities and counties all over the state impose 3-day waiting periods. When that didn't fly, he voted to let local governments impose gun control on their own citizens or people driving through. Fortunately, local gun control didn't pass either. The bottom line is: As bad as things are now, if Johnny Isakson had his way, they'd be much worse. Now, Johnny Isakson wants to move up to the U.S. Congress. As you know, anti-gunners got a big boost in the 1998 elections -- thanks largely to Newt Gingrich's contempt for pro-gun voters who had put Republicans in control of Congress back in 1994. That's why it's vital that you join me to help stop anti-gun Johnny Isakson from being elected to Congress. Mr. Isakson must be stopped now, or he may forever be a knife in our back. You see, Georgia's Sixth Congressional District is overwhelmingly Republican. The Democrats have never been able to win there. That's why this time the Democrats are running their man as a Republican. Johnny Isakson has been endorsed by the Georgia Democrats' party leader: Governor Zell Miller, a close friend of Bill Clinton. Other bosses are lining up behind the Governor. And liberal fat cats are pouring money into Mr. Isakson's war chest in an attempt to buy the election. But they've got one big problem: they don't know who they're up against. I know Christina Jeffrey, and let me tell you: she's a rare breed. Christina was born in 1947 at Fort Bliss, Texas, the daughter of a career United States Army officer. Eldest of eight children, she excelled at everything she did, from her classwork to being a champion swimmer. Christina won numerous scholarships, married in college, yet still managed to achieve the near impossible feat of getting her Ph.D. while working and raising four children. Christina began her academic career as Assistant Professor at Troy State University and she's been moving up ever since. She's been twice elected President of the American Society of Public Administration Georgia Chapter. Christina's one of the top experts in her field -- which is management of government. CHRISTINA CAN MAKE BUREAUCRATS SWEAT BULLETS. The liberals in Washington are nervous at the very thought of seeing the full power of the Office of a Congressman in the hands of somebody like Dr. Jeffrey. I've met with her on a number of occasions recently. She radiates graciousness and charm. One thing that's consistently surprised me about Christina Jeffrey is how tough she is: No matter what's put in her way, she jumps the hurdle and keeps on fighting. I think the word that best describes Christina Jeffrey is "formidable." IN SHORT, MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN WASHINGTON HAVE CONVINCED ME THAT WHAT WE HAVE IN CHRISTINA JEFFREY IS THE ANTI-GUNNERS' WORST NIGHTMARE: A HARDLINE FEMALE PRO-GUN CHAMPION. You and I've got a rare opportunity to take a wide-open Congressional seat in a conservative district. And we're facing a hack politician: a Democrat in Republican drag. Meanwhile, wherever she goes in the district, Christina is surrounded by excited voters who sense something is happening. Women and young people love her; the only thing I know to compare it with is the Jesse Ventura phenomenon that swept Minnesota this fall. This race is ours to win. That's why I've helped Christina retain two of the best professionals in the field to organize her campaign and manage the scores of enthusiastic volunteers who are turning out to work for her. Her team has prepared a winning plan to defeat Johnny Isakson: a grass-roots program that takes the message straight to the people. We can't be stopped, no matter how much money Mr. Isakson squanders on TV. But unlike in Minnesota, where the state had to pay $300,000 in public funding to Jesse Ventura's campaign, this time the government won't be giving her a dime. And you know Christina's teacher's salary won't be enough to do the job. HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP: As I said, this is a rare opportunity to capture a great prize: an open congressional seat. You and I can help win it if we raise money for the Christina Jeffrey campaign. The Christina Jeffrey campaign needs to raise $150,000 immediately. That's why I'm asking you to make a rare gift, more than you'd ordinarily give. This is because of the great benefits you and I will reap when Dr. Jeffrey defeats anti-gun Johnny Isakson and goes to Washington as a constitutional leader and a champion for gun owners. Please send the most generous contribution you can: $100, $250, $500, or whatever you can afford. Remember the maximum legal limit for direct campaign donations is $1,000 per person. For example a husband and wife can give $1,000 each for a total of $2,000. Please make your check or money order payable to: "CHRISTINA JEFFREY FOR CONGRESS" Mail your check or money order right away to: CHRISTINA JEFFREY FOR CONGRESS P.O. BOX 1445 KENNESAW, GA 30144 Please write somewhere on your check or money order the word "GOA" so Christina will know exactly where her support is coming from. Also, if you give $200 or more, please write in the memo area of your check your occupation and employer. As you know, for disclosure purposes, election laws require campaigns to report that information. I hope you will give as much as you can. I also hope you will mail your contribution today. The election will most likely be held sometime in February -- just 6 weeks away. Newt has said he'll resign effective January 3rd, and the election is expected 30+ days after that. Christina needs to hear from you right away so she can plan effectively. Please respond, there is no time to lose. Yours for the Second Amendment, Larry Pratt P.S. The special election to replace Rep. Newt Gingrich who is retiring from Congress will be held soon. Please act quickly to help pro-gun leader Dr. Christina Jeffrey. She needs your help to raise money for her campaign to defeat anti-gun politician Johnny Isakson.

For the sake of your right to own firearms you should take this very seriously. Weldon Clark =96 Second Amendment Action (presently an NRA Board Member) December 27, 1998 Dear 2nd Amendment Activist: I thought you should know that the NRA Members Council of Santa Barbara California, one of the most effective councils in the nation, is being stripped of its NRA status. It's thought within the council that the action was taken in reaction to various "offenses," such as: Maintaining their independence and failing to tow the NRA's "Winning Team" party line. Refusing to support anti-gun politicians. Former NRA Finance Committee Chairman Richard Carone is an influential member. Former council President Larry Rankin was a plaintiff in last year's lawsuit that forced NRA to obey one of its own bylaws. One of Richard Carone's business partners, Steve Coombs, is the council's founder and first President. Decertification for such reasons would indicate a deplorable contempt for the American spirit of free dissent, particularly for an organization like NRA that claims to support Constitutional liberty and purports to be democratically controlled by its voting members. Even the ostensible reason for the action is authoritarian and hypocritical: The council refused to sign an agreement that would've allowed NRA's Sacramento hacks to fire and replace its elected volunteer officers at will and without reasonable cause. Meanwhile, other councils and state associations are not given the same oppressive treatment. And decertification is being done by the same NRA management that opposed last years' conflict of interest bylaw changes, accusing bylaw proponents of trying to abridge 1st Amendment rights, even likening them to the Nazi SS. The Santa Barbara Members Council is in one of the more left-chic parts of California, yet it has successfully defeated all the usual local anti-gun forays that other areas have been subjected to. Council leaders feel the decertification is another indication that the "Winning Team" is willing to sacrifice the 2nd Amendment in favor of Machiavellian internal political games, alliances with [Republican] gun rights traitors, financial self-dealing by directors, mismanagement by staff, non-competitive sweetheart deals for NRA vendors, and the return to control of the sellout "Old Guard, sporting- use-only" club as represented by Charlton Heston. [Digression: Note that while his home state of California was going to the anti-gun wolves this election, Heston was as usual missing in action. This great freedom fighter did have time, however, to hose us down yet again, this time by supporting leftist Hollywood Producer Rob Reiner's oppressive 50-cent-a-pack cigarette tax initiative, drawing out statist voters and irritating smoking gun rights supporters (see www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/3649/alerts.html). He also had time to go to other states like Ohio & Georgia to support squishy Republican opponents of NRA - endorsed Democrats.] The council is now considering affiliation with GOA or going independent. I received a copy of their final newsletter from the editor. Excerpts are included as a note. You may wish to distribute and post these on web sites. E-mail me at the address below if you need the more information or additional files or files unzipped or graphical versions etc. Sincerely, Russ Howard russ.howard@usa.net * * * * * * * Note from SBMC Newsletter Editor: Dear fellow Members Councils, I am a member of the Santa Barbara NRA. I am also the Events director and the editor of the December Santa Barbara NRA Liberty's Teeth newsletter. I have been asked by Larry Rankin a past president of the Santa Barbara NRA to give to you the final issue of what looks like the Santa Barbara's Members Council's last paper. Please realize that our organization is strong, active and well funded. We are just being thrown out of the NRA's member's council arena. We will be forced to align with another organization or we may go independent all together to defend our 2nd Amendment rights. The purpose of sending you this last newsletter is to spread the word to all members councils as to what happens to a defender of the gun rights movement when you get too strong and learn too much. Judge for your self. You can e-mail me at ajm@rain.org or better yet contact Tom Banks (current President) of our organization at tbanks@impulse.net Editor See the following web sites. www.2ndamendment.net www.nealknox.com/ Vote for NRA director candidates who will oppose this.
