Welfare and the End of the Cold War
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <8/30>
We are presented with an opportunity here. All over the
country the military is shutting down bases. And all over the
country the cost of welfare is increasing.
This is a simple solution. Anyone one wanting support from
the government moves onto one of those bases. If they do not
then they get no support. The bases have every facility needed
for living even if in a rather spartan style.
Barracks living is not all that bad. The slight
modifications would be for small children, beds and bathing
facilities and such. There are mess facilities, medical
facilities, everything needed for a self contained community.
And on the plus side, no food stamp payments, no welfare
payments, perhaps a small amount for personal needs but that
could be earned by work to maintain the facilities. As these
would not be a generally criminal class only a modest number of
staff and policing personnel would be required.
Of course this would not apply to the elderly or the sickly,
those truly incapacitated who need more than what a military base
would be equipped to handle.
What are the objections? Only that they would be moved out
of the city. They would certainly have clean facilities.
Cleaning would earn the spending money. The work would be within
walking distance and always enough for everyone. It would be a
safe environment. Personal possessions could certainly be
warehoused on the base. As for moving them to the base that
would be a bus trip for the people and some workers from the base
to pack any personal possessions into an army truck and drive it
to the base storage facility.
Everyone wins all around.
Of course there would have to be some degree of discipline
and the penalty would be being kicked off base and losing all
support. Leaving base and having visitors would not be a problem
save that there would be body searches to prevent alcohol and
drugs being introduced onto the base. There would be no problem
with leaving clubs open to sell drinks as people could be shut
off before becoming drunk.
So there would be a safe and drug free environment. There
are plenty of recreation facilities. Would this not save
billions and at the same time give these people what they need?
In many cases more than they have now.
If this were done qualifications could be relaxed. People
could show up at the welfare office ready to move to the base.
No more hassles over who is qualified or who is not getting what
they need.
Of course if they want to keep their freedom then their
freedom there is a clear way to do it, work. If they can not
find work then they do have an option that keeps them well fed
and healthy.
They can be trained for work on the base. It could be part
of the discipline requirements. And who takes care of the kids?
They do, train and work in shifts while they pool resources to
take care of each other’s children.
I see it as a win win situation. A few bugs to work out
perhaps but overall everyone gets what they want and need.

Another Nail

Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <8/30>
Soon Clinton is going to put another nail in the coffin of
the Bill of Right by signing the Crime Bill with the falsely
claimed assault weapons ban. Earlier this year it became
official Clinton Administration policy to circumvent the 4th
amendment. Recently it came to light that it was official policy
to circumvent the 1st amendment. And now the official attack
upon the 2nd amendment.
In the attacks upon the 1st and 4th is was Housing and Urban
Development leading the way. In the case of the 2nd it is the
entire US Congress.
Let us review the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8
and Article 2, section 2, clearly delineate the only powers
delegated to the US government. The first ten amendments were
specifically designed to limited the federal government’s powers.
The 10th is explicit in this regard.
Yet we have an attack upon freedom of assembly and speech
and redress of grievance when HUD threatens fines and prison
terms for objecting to its plans for its socially noble housing
projects. It further has a policy of doing warrantless searches
despite the explicit prohibition of searches without a warrant.
And finally we have the infringement of the right right to keep
and bear arms in the Crime Bill and the Brady Bill.
If no one has been paying attention this has all occurred in
the last eight months. There are at least 29 months left for
this Administration to do more of the same.
This is not merely a 2nd Amendment issue. This is an all
out assault upon the Bill of Rights. It is an effort to
eliminate the prohibitions that were places upon the US
Government two centuries ago.
I do not see an organized conspiracy or a plan. I see
do-gooders without the slightest self restraint who will do
whatever they see they can get away without without regard to any
principle or law. It is not a question of what they can do
within the system. It is a matter of what they can get away with
regardless of the system.
And in this matter it is completely without regard to the
Constitution they took and oath to uphold and defend. That lack
of regard is in itself an impeachable offense.
While they act without such regard they have no moral
authority to the power they would wield. They have only the
legal authority we permit them by our passivity. It is a far
greater moral act to resist than to submit of course the
penalties for failure are equally greater.
Those who have been or are in the military or some other
form of federal service have all taken an oath to uphold and
defend the Constitution of the United States of America. There
was no time limit on that oath. Submission to illegitimate
authority is not standing by that oath.
Remember there were also words in that oath “against all
enemies foreign and domestic.” A government that has policies to
circumvent the constitution is a domestic enemy of that
constitution. By the definition given in the Constitution it is
not treason although there have been many more than two witnesses
to each act.
We are in need of a word for this. Sedition perhaps.
Perhaps we need a new word but they are enemies of the
Constitution and many of us have an oath to defend the
Constitution against them.
There risks involved will be great. The government will not
stand for obstruction and the more deliberate its attack on the
Constitution the more likely a violent response to those who
would preserve the Constitution.
But in the absence of efforts to preserve the Constitution
the enemies of it will certainly increase the level of attacks
upon it. Success without opposition will lead to greater attacks
by its enemies. The longer resistance is put off the sooner the
larger attacks will continue.
I have been accused of fomenting. In fact I am only
recounting what will happen. The next year will bring greater
attacks upon out Constitution. The time for a final stand is
approaching faster than we would ever have dreamed. Gun laws,
1934, 1968, 1986, 1994. I do not think it is my imagination they
are coming more frequently and on lesser pretexts. I have
documented the loss of the 4th over some 20 years in another
article. This year we have the first full scale attack upon the
1st.
I have no idea what will be next other than Brady II is
coming. I am certain what does come will be much worse. Pick an
amendment. Expect none to be safe. Expect the 2nd to be the
least of the attacks.

Subject: Prohibition v banning
Prohibition vice Regulation
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/1>
The government claims there is a legal distinction between
prohibition and regulation. Strangely we can find not practical
difference between the two.
Prohibition, as in alcoholic beverages, required a
constitutional amendment to delegate a new power to the federal
government. Regulation, what that is much different, it is under
the interstate commerce clause and the tariff clause and has
always been there. Without nothing it was rather strange our
grandparents did not notice they did not need an amendment to ban
alcoholic beverages, it is certainly interesting to note an even
greater prohibition can be accomplished by calling it regulation
rather than prohibition.
Consider the government does not ban drugs, it regulates
them. While drugs containing alcohol, elixers, were never
prohibited the chances of a doctor prescribing marijuana to keep
a glaucoma patient from going blind or to control nausea under
chemotherapy are slim and none.
The government is not banning guns, it is regulating some
guns. The government does not ban discrimination, it regulates
discrimination. The government regulates all drugs even those
determined not to be drugs.
Where did the government or anyone get the idea the federal
government we delegated this power to the government? It is
certainly not in the US Constitution and if not there it was not
delegated. If it was not delegated the federal government has no
such power, period, the weaseling of the interstate commerce
clause not withstanding. That is the argument that if 1/100 of
1% of an activity goes across state lines then 100% of it can be
regulated.
But then, that is the reason discrimination is regulated.
The government has determined the legal minorities in this
country. If you have ever filled out a form that asks you to
“check your racial status” the choices you have are the only
legal choices. Thus you can be either an Indian living in the
United States or you can be an Hispanic. You can not be an
Indian living in Mexico.
In fact it is illegal for the government to give a medical
research grant to study indians with Hispanic surnames and that
would be creating an unregulated class of minority. When the
government regulates something it regulates reality at the same
time.
Consider drugs that regulators determine have no medical use
when drugs are by definition those substances which have medical
use. I am not attempting to argue the definition of the word
drug. I am pointing out the Food and Drug Administration was
established to regulate the purity and claims of drugs for use in
medicine.
If a substance has no medical utility then it is not a drug
within the meaning of the charter of the FDA. Yet the FDA
regulates substances which are not within the definition by its
own charter. Of course this begs the entire question of the
power of the government to regulate food and drugs in any manner
whatsoever. It is not a delegated power in the Constitution.
Now it may be a good idea for the federal government to do
such regulation and that is what the amendment process of the
constitution was designed to do, add additional delegations to
the federal government.
Here is another one for those of us who started driving
pre-Nixon. Whence came the power to regulate highway speed?
Whence came the power to determine the daylight saving time zone
of the states? Cincinnati used to keep Central Daylight Time
until the law required states to be uniform. Now Greater
Cincinnati Airport in Kentucky keeps Ohio time rather than
Kentucky time.
Trivial? Of course. Annoying? Most definitely. A
usurpation of undelegated power? Unquestionably.
Regulating the type of guns? “We are not taking your guns
away. We are just making it harder to get decent defense
weapons. Consider the ban on Saturday Night Specials in 1968
that banned cheap guns so the poor victims lost the means of
defense. After all Congressmen with their armed bodyguards can
not find the slightest reason for people to defend themselves.
If they are in danger they can always hire bodyguards.
But do not forget, they are not banning the means of self
defense, they are only regulating it. They are only requiring
that the victim have less effective weapons than attackers,
plural. It is only regulation. Self defense is not being banned
yet.
Were this to be a larger article I could provide dozens more
examples of regulation vice banning where there is no apparent
difference save in the legal wording. We are back to walks,
talks, and waddles like a duck it is still a ban and in no way a
“regulation” loophole.
When we face regulation that is the same as a ban it is
unconstitutional as there is no difference. And as such it is a
usurpation of a power not delegated. Those who enforce it have
no right to do so and are violating their oath of office.
Resistance to such usurped authority is in consonance with
an oath of office. Submitting to it is not.

Welfare and the End of the Cold War
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <8/30>
We are presented with an opportunity here. All over the
country the military is shutting down bases. And all over the
country the cost of welfare is increasing.
This is a simple solution. Anyone one wanting support from
the government moves onto one of those bases. If they do not
then they get no support. The bases have every facility needed
for living even if in a rather spartan style.
Barracks living is not all that bad. The slight
modifications would be for small children, beds and bathing
facilities and such. There are mess facilities, medical
facilities, everything needed for a self contained community.
And on the plus side, no food stamp payments, no welfare
payments, perhaps a small amount for personal needs but that
could be earned by work to maintain the facilities. As these
would not be a generally criminal class only a modest number of
staff and policing personnel would be required.
Of course this would not apply to the elderly or the sickly,
those truly incapacitated who need more than what a military base
would be equipped to handle.
What are the objections? Only that they would be moved out
of the city. They would certainly have clean facilities.
Cleaning would earn the spending money. The work would be within
walking distance and always enough for everyone. It would be a
safe environment. Personal possessions could certainly be
warehoused on the base. As for moving them to the base that
would be a bus trip for the people and some workers from the base
to pack any personal possessions into an army truck and drive it
to the base storage facility.
Everyone wins all around.
Of course there would have to be some degree of discipline
and the penalty would be being kicked off base and losing all
support. Leaving base and having visitors would not be a problem
save that there would be body searches to prevent alcohol and
drugs being introduced onto the base. There would be no problem
with leaving clubs open to sell drinks as people could be shut
off before becoming drunk.
So there would be a safe and drug free environment. There
are plenty of recreation facilities. Would this not save
billions and at the same time give these people what they need?
In many cases more than they have now.
If this were done qualifications could be relaxed. People
could show up at the welfare office ready to move to the base.
No more hassles over who is qualified or who is not getting what
they need.
Of course if they want to keep their freedom then their
freedom there is a clear way to do it, work. If they can not
find work then they do have an option that keeps them well fed
and healthy.
They can be trained for work on the base. It could be part
of the discipline requirements. And who takes care of the kids?
They do, train and work in shifts while they pool resources to
take care of each other’s children.
I see it as a win win situation. A few bugs to work out
perhaps but overall everyone gets what they want and need.

Subject: Welfare and the Cold War
Welfare and the End of the Cold War
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <8/30>
We are presented with an opportunity here. All over the
country the military is shutting down bases. And all over the
country the cost of welfare is increasing.
This is a simple solution. Anyone one wanting support from
the government moves onto one of those bases. If they do not
then they get no support. The bases have every facility needed
for living even if in a rather spartan style.
Barracks living is not all that bad. The slight
modifications would be for small children, beds and bathing
facilities and such. There are mess facilities, medical
facilities, everything needed for a self contained community.
And on the plus side, no food stamp payments, no welfare
payments, perhaps a small amount for personal needs but that
could be earned by work to maintain the facilities. As these
would not be a generally criminal class only a modest number of
staff and policing personnel would be required.
Of course this would not apply to the elderly or the sickly,
those truly incapacitated who need more than what a military base
would be equipped to handle.
What are the objections? Only that they would be moved out
of the city. They would certainly have clean facilities.
Cleaning would earn the spending money. The work would be within
walking distance and always enough for everyone. It would be a
safe environment. Personal possessions could certainly be
warehoused on the base. As for moving them to the base that
would be a bus trip for the people and some workers from the base
to pack any personal possessions into an army truck and drive it
to the base storage facility.
Everyone wins all around.
Of course there would have to be some degree of discipline
and the penalty would be being kicked off base and losing all
support. Leaving base and having visitors would not be a problem
save that there would be body searches to prevent alcohol and
drugs being introduced onto the base. There would be no problem
with leaving clubs open to sell drinks as people could be shut
off before becoming drunk.
So there would be a safe and drug free environment. There
are plenty of recreation facilities. Would this not save
billions and at the same time give these people what they need?
In many cases more than they have now.
If this were done qualifications could be relaxed. People
could show up at the welfare office ready to move to the base.
No more hassles over who is qualified or who is not getting what
they need.
Of course if they want to keep their freedom then their
freedom there is a clear way to do it, work. If they can not
find work then they do have an option that keeps them well fed
and healthy.
They can be trained for work on the base. It could be part
of the discipline requirements. And who takes care of the kids?
They do, train and work in shifts while they pool resources to
take care of each other’s children.
I see it as a win win situation. A few bugs to work out
perhaps but overall everyone gets what they want and need.

Subject: Another Nail
Another Nail
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <8/30>
Soon Clinton is going to put another nail in the coffin of
the Bill of Right by signing the Crime Bill with the falsely
claimed assault weapons ban. Earlier this year it became
official Clinton Administration policy to circumvent the 4th
amendment. Recently it came to light that it was official policy
to circumvent the 1st amendment. And now the official attack
upon the 2nd amendment.
In the attacks upon the 1st and 4th is was Housing and Urban
Development leading the way. In the case of the 2nd it is the
entire US Congress.
Let us review the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8
and Article 2, section 2, clearly delineate the only powers
delegated to the US government. The first ten amendments were
specifically designed to limited the federal government’s powers.
The 10th is explicit in this regard.
Yet we have an attack upon freedom of assembly and speech
and redress of grievance when HUD threatens fines and prison
terms for objecting to its plans for its socially noble housing
projects. It further has a policy of doing warrantless searches
despite the explicit prohibition of searches without a warrant.
And finally we have the infringement of the right right to keep
and bear arms in the Crime Bill and the Brady Bill.
If no one has been paying attention this has all occurred in
the last eight months. There are at least 29 months left for
this Administration to do more of the same.
This is not merely a 2nd Amendment issue. This is an all
out assault upon the Bill of Rights. It is an effort to
eliminate the prohibitions that were places upon the US
Government two centuries ago.
I do not see an organized conspiracy or a plan. I see
do-gooders without the slightest self restraint who will do
whatever they see they can get away without without regard to any
principle or law. It is not a question of what they can do
within the system. It is a matter of what they can get away with
regardless of the system.
And in this matter it is completely without regard to the
Constitution they took and oath to uphold and defend. That lack
of regard is in itself an impeachable offense.
While they act without such regard they have no moral
authority to the power they would wield. They have only the
legal authority we permit them by our passivity. It is a far
greater moral act to resist than to submit of course the
penalties for failure are equally greater.
Those who have been or are in the military or some other
form of federal service have all taken an oath to uphold and
defend the Constitution of the United States of America. There
was no time limit on that oath. Submission to illegitimate
authority is not standing by that oath.
Remember there were also words in that oath “against all
enemies foreign and domestic.” A government that has policies to
circumvent the constitution is a domestic enemy of that
constitution. By the definition given in the Constitution it is
not treason although there have been many more than two witnesses
to each act.
We are in need of a word for this. Sedition perhaps.
Perhaps we need a new word but they are enemies of the
Constitution and many of us have an oath to defend the
Constitution against them.
There risks involved will be great. The government will not
stand for obstruction and the more deliberate its attack on the
Constitution the more likely a violent response to those who
would preserve the Constitution.
But in the absence of efforts to preserve the Constitution
the enemies of it will certainly increase the level of attacks
upon it. Success without opposition will lead to greater attacks
by its enemies. The longer resistance is put off the sooner the
larger attacks will continue.
I have been accused of fomenting. In fact I am only
recounting what will happen. The next year will bring greater
attacks upon out Constitution. The time for a final stand is
approaching faster than we would ever have dreamed. Gun laws,
1934, 1968, 1986, 1994. I do not think it is my imagination they
are coming more frequently and on lesser pretexts. I have
documented the loss of the 4th over some 20 years in another
article. This year we have the first full scale attack upon the
1st.
I have no idea what will be next other than Brady II is
coming. I am certain what does come will be much worse. Pick an
amendment. Expect none to be safe. Expect the 2nd to be the
least of the attacks.

Subject: Prohibition v banning
Prohibition vice Regulation
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/1>
The government claims there is a legal distinction between
prohibition and regulation. Strangely we can find not practical
difference between the two.
Prohibition, as in alcoholic beverages, required a
constitutional amendment to delegate a new power to the federal
government. Regulation, what that is much different, it is under
the interstate commerce clause and the tariff clause and has
always been there. Without nothing it was rather strange our
grandparents did not notice they did not need an amendment to ban
alcoholic beverages, it is certainly interesting to note an even
greater prohibition can be accomplished by calling it regulation
rather than prohibition.
Consider the government does not ban drugs, it regulates
them. While drugs containing alcohol, elixers, were never
prohibited the chances of a doctor prescribing marijuana to keep
a glaucoma patient from going blind or to control nausea under
chemotherapy are slim and none.
The government is not banning guns, it is regulating some
guns. The government does not ban discrimination, it regulates
discrimination. The government regulates all drugs even those
determined not to be drugs.
Where did the government or anyone get the idea the federal
government we delegated this power to the government? It is
certainly not in the US Constitution and if not there it was not
delegated. If it was not delegated the federal government has no
such power, period, the weaseling of the interstate commerce
clause not withstanding. That is the argument that if 1/100 of
1% of an activity goes across state lines then 100% of it can be
regulated.
But then, that is the reason discrimination is regulated.
The government has determined the legal minorities in this
country. If you have ever filled out a form that asks you to
“check your racial status” the choices you have are the only
legal choices. Thus you can be either an Indian living in the
United States or you can be an Hispanic. You can not be an
Indian living in Mexico.
In fact it is illegal for the government to give a medical
research grant to study indians with Hispanic surnames and that
would be creating an unregulated class of minority. When the
government regulates something it regulates reality at the same
time.
Consider drugs that regulators determine have no medical use
when drugs are by definition those substances which have medical
use. I am not attempting to argue the definition of the word
drug. I am pointing out the Food and Drug Administration was
established to regulate the purity and claims of drugs for use in
medicine.
If a substance has no medical utility then it is not a drug
within the meaning of the charter of the FDA. Yet the FDA
regulates substances which are not within the definition by its
own charter. Of course this begs the entire question of the
power of the government to regulate food and drugs in any manner
whatsoever. It is not a delegated power in the Constitution.
Now it may be a good idea for the federal government to do
such regulation and that is what the amendment process of the
constitution was designed to do, add additional delegations to
the federal government.
Here is another one for those of us who started driving
pre-Nixon. Whence came the power to regulate highway speed?
Whence came the power to determine the daylight saving time zone
of the states? Cincinnati used to keep Central Daylight Time
until the law required states to be uniform. Now Greater
Cincinnati Airport in Kentucky keeps Ohio time rather than
Kentucky time.
Trivial? Of course. Annoying? Most definitely. A
usurpation of undelegated power? Unquestionably.
Regulating the type of guns? “We are not taking your guns
away. We are just making it harder to get decent defense
weapons. Consider the ban on Saturday Night Specials in 1968
that banned cheap guns so the poor victims lost the means of
defense. After all Congressmen with their armed bodyguards can
not find the slightest reason for people to defend themselves.
If they are in danger they can always hire bodyguards.
But do not forget, they are not banning the means of self
defense, they are only regulating it. They are only requiring
that the victim have less effective weapons than attackers,
plural. It is only regulation. Self defense is not being banned
yet.
Were this to be a larger article I could provide dozens more
examples of regulation vice banning where there is no apparent
difference save in the legal wording. We are back to walks,
talks, and waddles like a duck it is still a ban and in no way a
“regulation” loophole.
When we face regulation that is the same as a ban it is
unconstitutional as there is no difference. And as such it is a
usurpation of a power not delegated. Those who enforce it have
no right to do so and are violating their oath of office.
Resistance to such usurped authority is in consonance with
an oath of office. Submitting to it is not.

They repeal ALL the lies after they admit they are lies.
Follow them around Fido and you will find them solidly trounced
on one conference for lack of evidence and failure to support,
often even admitting they were wrong. When they disappear they
start over from the being on another conference.
Tracking them down and confronting them with their own
admissions is fun. In that case we have them as admitted liars.

I have no brochures much less a financial statement. I can
only comment upon what I have read. That being the financing
comes from tuitions, alumni contributions and endowments.
Certainly there may be some state contributions, there
always are but I get no impression they are of the type or

It sucks worse than that. I have been having that same
problem. In testing what it is I have posted messages that
should be cut up and in fact are and then tested the receipt in a
25 cent toll call away. They ALWAYS arrive in both parts. That
means the local boards are eating the multi-part messages with no
problem as it works between 3306 and 377 and within each of them.
BUT when getting out of these cheap exchange areas all parts
after the first vanish.
This is not theory, this is fact I have observed. If anyone
is interested in this I will document it.

The “flood” required enough water to cover the highest
mountain which is around six miles high. That works out to
roughly 1,200,000,000 cubic miles of water. That is a sphere of
water roughly 680 miles in diameter. That is six times the
thickness of the atmosphere by the most generous measure of how
thick it is. Just where to you expect this vaporization to
occur? (For comparison the dino-killer is estimated to have been
maybe ten miles across.)
Given the velocity of comets and the velocity of the earth
the energy release upon impact would be around
26,583,013,124,236,800,000,000,000 joules. One joule is enough
energy to raise 2.2 pounds 1.1 meters. I am not going to bother
to go further and dig out the references but that is more than
sufficient energy to raise the temperature of the atmosphere by
at least 1000 degrees.
Are there any other questions?
IL> What’s your answer?
There was no flood. There is no evidence of a flood,
period.

I do not know the validity of this claim. However it would
be impossible to copyright or trademark and those are the only
venues of controlling the use of a word and must be strenuously
with each infraction else either is lost.
Now that we are passed that it must be a matter of special
law and it would be better to have the exact wording of the law.
Further, I do not believe it could pass constitutional
muster as there is no exclusive delegation of the power of
coining money to the US Congress, it is simply an authorization.

Subject: Moral Evolution
Moral Progress
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/7>
Often we become depressed over the morality of our public
officials. We see graft and corruption in the news and ten times
as much commonly known or rumored. We often despair that this can
ever be corrected.
But there is good news. There has been massive progress in
the moral standards of public officials over the last sixty to
seventy years. When we look back to the time of Prohibition we
say judges, prosecutors, the police and politcians at all levels
on the take.
Back then the FBI was active in ferreting out this
corruption. It was common knowledge that it was happening.
After all, considering all the effort being expended against
illegal alcohol it was obvious that, with alcohol being so
available, there was no other possible explanation.
Consider the progress we have made today. Despite the ready
availability of drugs no public official today is taking money
from anyone involved in drugs. The FBI has not even bothered to
search it out as it is clear there is none.
This is an outstanding example of how moral progess is
possible and that people can change. Despite the tens of
millions of dollars the drug cartels have to buy protection, and
certainly they have offered it, no one has accepted it. Consider
no one has taken that money.
Occasionally you will hear of an official or police officer
who has been found using them and even less common dealing them
but these are personal failings and do not reflect upon the use
of their public office.
Consider, despite the graft and corruption the comes to like
in other areas where there is less money to buy protection, in
the area where there is the most money our public officials are
prisine.
And this has been going on for about two decades when major
smuggling operations started. First marijuana and then cocaine
along with a major increase in that old favorite heroin and for
all these years no corruption.
A cynic may say there is enough money to keep it all quiet
but how could that be? We have the FBI and the DEA specifically
charged with finding such corruption. The FBI at least is still
an incorruptible agency in the mold of J. Edgar Hoover.
And they uncover no one and find no problems for this last
score of years. Thefore we know the cynic must be wrong. The
FBI would never be on the take not to find drug corruption.
As I write I am listening to the new of St. Petersburg with
the police department, the sheriff’s office and the DEA roaming
the city with 400 warrants and having made 30 arrests as of the
2pm news. It was announced they were all for a cocaine and crack
ring.
Do you not admire a coordinated operation to shut down drug
distribution in the city that puts it on the radio while it is in
progress? Do you not have to respect these law enforcement
agencies knowing the dealers mainly sell during the day and do
not have radios? This way they can keep the citizens aware of
what a great job they are doing fighting drugs and still make all
400 arrests.
Consider the days of Prohibition where a cop on the take
would phone the place to be raided and warn them. That is such
blatant and obvious corruption. But announcing the operation to
the press and getting minute by minute coverage nothing is
compromised and there is no corruption.
Again the cynic might suggest drug dealers or even buyers
might listen to radio but there have been laws passed against
boom boxes so they no longer exist. We all know the rock
stations do not cover local news so even if they had any kind of
radio they would never learn what is happening until they are
arrested. But there is no need to single out Tampa, this is the
strategy in all cities.
There is no conclusion other than there has been a great
leap in the moral evolution of our public figures since early in
this century. This is a remarkable event in that it is perhaps
the first time in history where, whithout any increase in threat
or penalty, the level of corruption has so markedly and
observably decreased and in such a short period of time. And
this in the face of perhaps a greater temptation from more
sources and even more money available for graft.
This change is certainly worthy of serious study by
socialogists as if why it has happened can be discovered perhaps
it can be applied to other areas of human affairs, perhaps even
the drug dealers themselves. I am proud to be the first to
identify this phenomon and hope it can be used for the betterment
of the human race.

What you describe is what happen. It did all occur at the
same place at least but over time. The slight difference in the
races appear to be the results of generalized selective pressures
and isolation. For example it is not clear why orientals and
caucasians are different save for isolation. It is clear that
orientals in the tropics did not develop negroid melanin as they
were not isolated from orientals up through Siberia as the
mediterranean separated negroid and caucasian.

No way. Death Race 2000 should be required viewing for all

As long as he does not look like the popular image of Hitler

I will. The second definition of it as a preposition gives,
in place of, instead of, as alternate meanings. (Webster’s New

order is correct, vice would be Regulation in place of
Prohibition which was the intent.

No one is required to accept charity. It is completely
voluntary. They may seek out other means such as begging on the
streets, cleaning toilets, or whatever else their hearts desire.
This would be simply one option of many but it would be the only
one where there are public funds available.
If they do not like Hitler-esque camps, don’t go. There is
no force. It is all voluntary.
As to living like cattle, I am talking about military bases.
They will live quite as well as our enlisted military have lived
for decades. If that it not good enough then our military was
being shafted and the welfare seekers are damned lucky to get
that.
What I fail to see is a requirement to support them in a
single family dwelling where they want to live and with food and
utilities all in the most expensive form it can be procured.
Where did this burden come from?

* Carbon Copy:
* Original message to ALL in the POLITICS conference.
Some months ago I posted a message saying how easy it would
be to take off from National with a plane full of explosives and
crash it into the White House.
I forget which conference, most like Controvery or Debate,
but just to make certain I find that conference I will broadcast
this message.
I was told it was impossible, that there were secret
everything that would prevent that from happening, that there was
no way it could possibly happen. There was speculation on
radars, missile defenses, air craft ready to scramble to take out
out, there were even imaginary loitering air craft in the air at
all times.
Sorry about that folks. It just happened. 9/12 a small
aircraft crashed on the White House lawn. It was not shot down.
The pilot died. Had he the mind he could have had a hundred
pounds of dynamite with an impact detonator and aimed a little
better and hit the White House.
Are there any further questions?

IL> was NOT covered for me yet.
And you are not going to get it short of grad school. You
are going to have to go that route or spend a lot of time getting
self taught.
MG> The bang was an inflation following a large enough quantum

IL> I didn’t think “nothing” could have energy.
It is right there in quantum mechanics. Look up the
creation and destruction of complimentary particles. There
should be a mention of it in every introductory textbook. Pursue
the references.
IL> Something from NOTHING? I just can’t believe that.
MG> What does belief have to do with anything?
IL> Something from nothing -> illogical. Belief is thinking. It
IL> all boils down to personal belief based on logical facts. I
IL> see no logic here so I can’t believe it.
You are using an intellectual concept of nothing rather than
working from an actual study of nothing. You are imagining its
properties rather than working with those properties. To know
what nothing is really like you have to study nothing as you find
it. When you do that you find it has a very high energy level.
And because of quantum mechanics that energy level fluctuates.
The probability that it can fluctuate enough to have an
energy level sufficient to cause inflation in so small in our
universe that with all its size and time it effectively can not
happen in millions of billions of years.
However, time is a property of the inflation. Before there
was time statistics in time is meaningless. Therefore there were
all magnitudes of fluctuations at once. One that was large
enough is our universe. The other large ones are other
universes.
MG> Not only are you not a scientist you are not a rational
MG> thinker. Please explain the source of the “explosions”? What
MG> exploded?
IL> Matter. I’m THE rational thinker. I’m not a scientist yet.
IL> Explosions from explosive compounds. As I stated, I don’t
IL> believe there was a time when there was nothing. It’s
IL> illogical.
What in the world does logic have to do with first premises?
Would you tell me what is logical about the existence of gravity?
Stars and planets are logical once gravity exists but what about
gravity in the first place? And while you are trying to explain
logic, please explain the logic of quantum mechanics. You do not
even have to start with why it exists but go directly to the way
it behaves.
Why believe there was nothing at one time? It
IL> seems to be, logically, that both sides have a fundamental
IL> belief that there was nothing and then there was something.
IL> Why? We’ve found that there has always been energy and it
IL> simply takes on different forms–we can’t create that.
But matter and energy does appear spontaniously it simply
annialates itself under almost all circumstances. Consider the
Hawkins hypthesized radiation from the edge of a black hole.
IL> Why not believe that all matter and energy have
IL> always been here?
Belief has nothing to do with it. The evidence indicates it
was not. As to logic and always been here, when did always start
and why would it always be here.
Both beliefs on the surface seem equally

* Carbon Copy:

I know much of the response I will get but I am looking
over my op-ed output and I realize I can produce a bi-monthly
newsletter with only technical difficulties and investment costs.
Now I am not asking for any kind of commitment only of
interest in subscribing at say $18 a month. Obviously I could
not afford to object to Xeroxing and distributing it and would in
fact decline to object if I could if the subscription address
were included in the Xeroxing. This of course is not a license
to violate copyright but rather an observation of reality.
I have not gone through the costing exercise but I can not
see it being more than $18 a year, more like $12 if I stick with
simple reduction and Xeroxing on my side, but I can’t say at the
moment.
The tentative title is “The Revolution Watch.” It will
focus upon what I have been posting and for those who have not
been reading it will be topical and focusing upon the rights of
free men and infringements upon them by our government.
So I am asking, is anyone interested? Please speak up if
you are interested. If you are not interested, do not waste the
bandwidth, as I would only base a decision upon the number of
subsribers not upon the non-subscribers. 1/100th of 1% of the
population would be an huge success in my terms. That 99.99%
would not be interested is of no interest to me.

It was blatantly an unjustified attack. It was a great
injustice that resulted in around 100 dead all round and the
responsibility is clearly on the government. The call is for
justice in the form of criminal prosecution and clear changes in
procedures to assure it never happens again.
Waco was not the first incident or the first deaths to
occur, it was simply the worst. And they have not stopped.
Every so often someone posts a list of the recent break-ins that
are completely wrong and unjustified so they have not stopped.
It is a matter of time before there is another Waco. This
time those who might be targeted are ready. They know they have
nothing to lose as the government will kill them for resisting.
They will not sue for a cease fire but they will kill off the
government people as the Davidians could have done. The
government response will not be to admit error and forget it.
It may be the spark the revolution.
This government has to be stopped from its current path. It
is that simple. One way or another it will be.

Gender war often assails the truth
By Alan Dershowitz
In the gender war declared by radical feminists against men, the
weapon of choice has been the statistic. Rhetorical warriors have
thrown around an arsenal of data designed to show the world that
men assault, stalk, terrorize, and kill their wives, lovers, and
others of the opposite sex in numbers that should frighten any
woman away from ever trusting a man. As in other contexts,
the first casualty of war is often truth. Now we are beginning
to see a reaction to the statisti-babble that has distorted
gender discussions for so many years.
New studies have raised serious doubts about what has become the
conventional wisdom in intergender violence. These recent studies
tend to show that violence between men and women is more of a
two-way street than previously supposed. Like most reactions to
overreactions, these new studies should not be taken as gospel.
Their statistics, like the statistics they seek to supplant, may
also hide political agendas and must be subjected to rigorous
scientific testing and retesting before they are allowed to
become the new conventional wisdom.
But even before this testing process is completed, the new
studies should be considered in the debate over intergender
violence.
Some cases in point:
In March of 1994, Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna
Shalala threw out a statistic claiming that 20 percent to 30
percent of all women who came to hospital emergency rooms came
“because of physical abuse by their partners.” That statistic
quickly became the conventional wisdom, repeated by women’s
advocates, the media, and policy makers. The only problem is
that it has no basis in fact. It was derived from a single,
10-year-old survey of people admitted to one inner-city hospital
in Detroit. In that survey, both men and women were asked
whether they were ever “pushed around,” “hit,” or “kicked” by
their spouses, boyfriends, or girlfriends. They were not asked
what brought them to the emergency room for this visit. Twenty
percent of the men answered yes, and twenty-five percent of the
women answered yes — a far cry from the gender statistic tossed
out by Shalala. Moreover, experts on violence point out that the
Detroit hospital is far from typical, since it treats a much
higher proportion of people the unemployed, the poor, and those
who cohabit without being married who tend to be in abusive
relationships.
Other studies confirm the politically incorrect conclusion that
“women initiate violence against their male partners as often as
men initiate violence against their female partners,” according
to a University of New Hampshire researcher who cites 30 such
studies. These studies also show that “about half of all
domestic violence is bidirectional, with both parties
participating in the aggression.” This contrasts sharply with
the statistics bandied about by some women’s advocates which
purport to show that 94 percent of battered women never hit
back.
The truth appears to be that violence within marriage and other
intimate relationships goes both ways. For example, the data for
gay and lesbian couples show about the same rate of violence as
for intergender couples. But these more balanced statistics do
not serve the political goals of the gender warriors who would
have us believe that only women are victims and only men are
aggressors.
There is, of course, some truth to the widespread belief that men
are more violent than women. In general, men do commit far more
crimes of violence than women do, but their primary victims tend
to be other men, often strangers. It is also true that when it
comes to severe violence within families, men are more often
the aggressors and women more often the victims. But even the
statistics on intergender murder the most serious form of
violence appear to be exaggerated. Both CNN and the Associated
Press have repeated radical feminist claims that 4,000 women a
year are murdered by their current or former mates. But the
Federal Bureau of Investigation which keeps the crime statistics
for the nation puts the number at between 1,300 and 1,400. Even
the number of women who kill their husbands or boyfriends is
sometimes exaggerated, when it serves the political agendas of
those reporting the data. FBI statistics put that figure at
between 600 and 700. Yet the National Clearinghouse for Defense
of Battered Women puts out a statistic claiming that between 800

Subject: Haitian Training Exer 1/2
The Haitian Training Exercise
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/14>
This is the third time I have written on the intention of
President Clinton to kill Haitians. The situation has not
changed since the first time. Clinton needs to buy the votes of
the Congressional Black Caucus and killing Haitians is the
easiest way to do that.
The only thing that has changed from last time is that there
are more justifications for this killing. The most preposterous
one that because months ago it was threatened without thinking it
through it has to be done now — else the US (read Clinton) will
be seen as powerless.
Why in the world this would be a consideration is beyond me.
It is not secret in the world that Clinton is powerless and
ineffective. After Clinton’s first international conference the
other participants left publically wondering to reporters who was
going to take the place of the US. Smashing the Haitian
superpower is not likely to correct that impression.
And look at what we have threatening Haiti. About half the
Naval assets we used to smash the Japanese Fleet at Midway.
Consider there are two aircraft carriers when one aircraft from
one of them could overwhelm the entire Haitian Air Force.
One grants that quasi real life exercises for the Navy are
few and far between and this is as good an exercise as any but
what rational person can believe this has anything more than
media value? More to the point, the Haitian government is
laughing their backsides off at the waste of money as certainly
is every other government in the world.
And if there is any laughing at the US it is at the
absurdity he was elected rather than as a world power.
And consider the strategic and tactical genius of our
Commander in Chief. Haiti needs no more intelligence assets than
a satellite dish to watch the US network news. The assets, the
landing area, everything necessary to optimize resistance has
been spelled out by this administration.
That brings up a minor problem that does not appear to
bother our Commander in Chief in the least. Americans are going
to be killed.
The American people are not as stupid as the President and
his fellow Democrats think. This upcoming killing spree has a
73% disapproval rating. The Democrats explanation of that is
that the reasons simply have not been explained to us peons
despite there having been nothing but justifications floated for
over a year. None of them have sold.
To correct that our President is going to go on TV on the
15th to explain it to us all. After it is over we will have to
marvel at either the belief we can be sold by a rehash of all the
justifications tha have not sold or we will marvel at the
creativity in coming up with a new justification.
There is a very unlikely possibility, that he will admit he
has a political debt to the Black Caucus. The truth does not
come easy to him so this is not likely.
In fact he is taking quite a political risk by going on the
air. Unless he pulls off a very creative, new reason that will
sell to the public, he risks increasing the disapproval rating.
Now rest assured, Democrat Party regulars around the country are
poised to start calling and writing every Democrat in Congress so
that can declare victory for the President and start the invasion
before an honest poll can be taken.
This is hardly speculation. If you remember the same
procedure was followed by Ted Kennedy with his post
Chappequiddick speech, asking people if he should resign or
continue to serve. He declared the people wanted him to stay
before the honest polls contradicted him.
It is an old technique. You will see it used again. Watch
for the invasion in less than the seven days it will take to
conduct an honest poll.
A related question is whether or not the President needs to
or should seek the concurrance of Congress. The Democrats
concentrate on Grenada and Panama while the Republicans
concentrate on the Gulf War. The both have their points.
With regard to the Grenada and Panama examples those
depended upon surprise to minimize casualties. The Gulf War
could not possibily have had any surprise to it. It is obvious
the Haitian killing (it is almost impossible to consider this an
invasion or war) fits the Gulf War model as everything but the
operations plan has been given to the press.
Does have to? No. But it appears prudent when facing the
likelihood of years if not decades of occupation that there be
some review of this commitment of US forces.
Is there a US interest in Haiti? Only in comparing the cost
of returning boat people against the cost of this trainging
exercise with live ammunition.
We have no interest in democracy in Haiti any more than in
any other country in the world. Were Haiti a super power or even
a power there would certainly be an interest in it being a
democracy. But remember, we are not dealing with a civilized or
rational, much less educated people in Haiti.
Haitians are more like to sacrifice a chicken and smear
themselves with its blood to elect their candidate rather than to
vote. They are more likely to put a voodoo curse on the
political opposition than to campaign against him. This is not
an exaggeration of the world view of the average Haitian citizen.

This is the way it is.
Haiti is not a century behind the rest of the world, it is
in an alternate universe. Both the European educated Duvaliers
dealt with the US by putting curses involving chickens on the
President at the time. Were they playing to the masses? The
masses did not like either of them. At least when Castro visited
the US he intended to eat the live chickens he tried to order
from room service.
In any event folks, here it comes. The defining moment in
US history is just around the corner. Praise Clinton.

I am not going to research it for you but the feces level
comes from having to gut the cattle and it is inevitable that
some fraction of the intestines are going to be split and feces
released. Proper procedure is to clean it up immediately but
sterilization is not required. Failure to clean it up (hosing

“Haiti is a threat to the security of the United States.”
There you have it direct from a mouthy horse.
He also said that is the case Clinton will be making in his
speech. What he did not say is the qualifier, “IF this trial

Actually it is the opposite but it is a common
misunderstanding. The escape velocity for both Earth and Jupiter
to leave the solar system is the same. The change in escape
velocity would be higher for earth. The amount energy required
to achieve that change in escape velocity would be greater for
Jupiter because of the greater mass.
Example the escape velocity for an object to leave earth is
the same for on pound as for one ton. The energy required is two
thousand times greater for the one ton load.
A fun little side effect of this is that the energy to get
from the surface to low earth orbit is the same at to get from
low earth orbit to escape the gravitational pull of the galaxy.
That meaning once we are in orbit, we are half way to anywhere or
that getting to orbit is half way to anywhere — albeit slowly.

RD> Chilling report from the August 3 issue of the
RD> Augusta Chronicle of Augusta Georgia. Tybee Island,
RD> at the mouth of the Savannah River, was invaded late
RD> in the night sometime last July. 300 Marines from the
RD> 22nd Marine Exepeditionary Unit at Camp Lejeune descended
RD> in black helicopters on the unwary townspeople.
RD> According to Lt. Jeff Jurgensen at Camp Lejeune the late
RD> night operation was designed to “provide the Marines the
RD> opportunity to practice” evacuating US citizens who might
RD> be held against their will. Lt. Jurgensen said flyers were
RD> distributed about two hours before the invasion began but
RD> none of the flyers have so-far been recovered.
RD> Mallory Pearce, a resident of Tybee described the event as
RD> a “real invasion”. He continued “The housetop was rattling
RD> a tree branch fell in my yard and troops came rushing
RD> through my property with guns drawn … They were hiding in
RD> bushes with weapons. … I went outside and told the people
RD> to stop this, that it was tearing up my property. One of

RD> they were violating the Constitution he was told to “get
RD> out of a restricted area”
Amazing! I thought it was impossible to violate the 3rd
amendment these days. Or maybe it is the 5th, with simple use of
property without compenstation.
Unless people were actually evacuated (hopefully volunteers
or soldiers) then it sounds like that was certainly NOT the
objective of the exercise. Rather it sounds more like securing
an area with US construction and such. Certainly hostages are
not held in private homes over a wide area.
Counterinsurgency training or gun search preparations
perhaps.

Invading Haiti
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/16>
On September 15th, 1994 at 9pm Eastern Standard Time we
heard President William Jefferson Clinton declare the invasion of
Haiti was in the interest of the security of the United States of
America. He then went on to define our security being
threatened by the way Haitians were treating Haitians.
We were left with the burning question. Is he the president
of the United States or of the Dominican Republic? I can see the
Dominican Republic being threatened by a lawless government in
Haiti but some how I can not imagine laying in survival gear here
in Tampa.
Given the massive assets being committed to Haiti I had the
passing idea that he would announce at 9pm that the invasion of
Cuba had begun at 8pm in a brilliant military coup of
misdirection. I was of course not disappointed. He repeated his
slacked jawed bluster against Haiti.
He did not mention the invasion was part of the deal with
the Black Caucus in Congress for their support of the crime bill.
He did not mention that the other justification was an attempt to
salvage his own credibility after his irresponsible threats.
He did repeat his naive claim that the military leaders of
Haiti had broken their promise to leave. Anyone who has followed
Presient Clinton’s track record knows he is an expert in
identifying broken promises. It would appear he is sanctioning a
military take over against himself for breaking promises.
He did recount horror stories while failing to demonstrate a
one of them. Much like the horror stories of Iraquis actions in
Kuwait turning out premature babies to ship the incubators to
Iraq he recounted executions of orphans. Of course with a
straight face he expected us to believe him or perhaps be
believes it himself.
And then, taking a cue from dozens of 1950s SciFi flicks and
from the recent Dolph Longhren movie he gave a message to the
Haitian people, We Come In Peace. Now perhaps those 1950s movies
are still first run in Arkansas, perhaps they are cult classics,
but that does not reduce the sheer melodramatic corn of the line.
I do have a taste for B movies but that line is straight from
Plan Nine From Outer Space.
OK, Haitians, we are coming in peace with half the assets we
used to turn around the war at sea in the Pacific in WW II. If
we were not coming in peace we would be bringing some serious
assets to bear, like the entire Atlantic Fleet. But you can tell
by two carrier battle groups (26 ships and four submarines) that
we come in peace and mean you no harm.
You will be convinced we come in peace when you see a
thousand paratroopers falling from the sky. When your country is
under the control of armed American troops you will know we have
come in peace.
This boy is for real? This a kid pretending to be a comic
book superhero.
Enough. All the fish in the barrel are dead. I used an
assault weapon.
This was the most “please like me” speech I have ever heard
from any politician in my life. If I were to regard all speech
subject matter as equal and simply judge quality it is some place
between the Martin Van Buren innaugural address and a high school
Salutorian address.
I will note by its absense any reference to “I” have
decided, “I” have directed, “I” have done anything. It is
obvious “I” did not do a damn thing and is therefore not
responsible for any outcome. He could not even deliver “your
time is up” with a “make my day” or “I’ll be back” conviction.
A dull monotone lacking in even the pretense of emotion or
conviction is a “please like me” speech. The only thing good
about the speech was its brevity. There is only so much NBC
quality programming that is acceptable on the airwaves.
Whatever his prompting for the tone to set it went awry
under his skillful implementation. Somber? Decisive? Grave?
No matter what the prompt it came out juvenile and stupid. Even
Fearless Leader can do better than this for Boris and Natasha.
But in any event we have the word of the mouthy horse. We
are invading Haiti because our national security is threatened by
the way Haitians are treating Haitian. I do not explain ’em. I
only report ’em. We have the word of The Clinton as to the
gospel truth of the reason for this killing of Haitians and the
loss of American lives. And above all remember, We Come In
Peace.

Again, that is only a government claim with no evidence
whatsoever to support it. And the sheriff and the neighbors tell
exactly the opposite story. They found absolutely no problem and
no reason for concern and considered them good neighbors.
It would be good for you to take a look at the actual
evidence rather than buying into the propaganda demonization of
Koresh that was released by the government. The government’s
actions in the case were criminal. All the senior personnel
involved were given either early retirement or permanent
reassignment to where they can not be involved in such an
operation again.
I do not think that is enough. Perjury and murder should
not get off so easily.

Invading Haiti
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/16>
On September 15th, 1994 at 9pm Eastern Standard Time we
heard President William Jefferson Clinton declare the invasion of
Haiti was in the interest of the security of the United States of
America. He then went on to define our security being
threatened by the way Haitians were treating Haitians.
We were left with the burning question. Is he the president
of the United States or of the Dominican Republic? I can see the
Dominican Republic being threatened by a lawless government in
Haiti but some how I can not imagine laying in survival gear here
in Tampa.
Given the massive assets being committed to Haiti I had the
passing idea that he would announce at 9pm that the invasion of
Cuba had begun at 8pm in a brilliant military coup of
misdirection. I was of course not disappointed. He repeated his
slacked jawed bluster against Haiti.
He did not mention the invasion was part of the deal with
the Black Caucus in Congress for their support of the crime bill.
He did not mention that the other justification was an attempt to
salvage his own credibility after his irresponsible threats.
He did repeat his naive claim that the military leaders of
Haiti had broken their promise to leave. Anyone who has followed
Presient Clinton’s track record knows he is an expert in
identifying broken promises. It would appear he is sanctioning a
military take over against himself for breaking promises.
He did recount horror stories while failing to demonstrate a
one of them. Much like the horror stories of Iraquis actions in
Kuwait turning out premature babies to ship the incubators to
Iraq he recounted executions of orphans. Of course with a
straight face he expected us to believe him or perhaps be
believes it himself.
And then, taking a cue from dozens of 1950s SciFi flicks and
from the recent Dolph Longhren movie he gave a message to the
Haitian people, We Come In Peace. Now perhaps those 1950s movies
are still first run in Arkansas, perhaps they are cult classics,
but that does not reduce the sheer melodramatic corn of the line.
I do have a taste for B movies but that line is straight from
Plan Nine From Outer Space.
OK, Haitians, we are coming in peace with half the assets we
used to turn around the war at sea in the Pacific in WW II. If
we were not coming in peace we would be bringing some serious
assets to bear, like the entire Atlantic Fleet. But you can tell
by two carrier battle groups (26 ships and four submarines) that
we come in peace and mean you no harm.
You will be convinced we come in peace when you see a
thousand paratroopers falling from the sky. When your country is
under the control of armed American troops you will know we have
come in peace.
This boy is for real? This a kid pretending to be a comic
book superhero.
Enough. All the fish in the barrel are dead. I used an
assault weapon.
This was the most “please like me” speech I have ever heard
from any politician in my life. If I were to regard all speech
subject matter as equal and simply judge quality it is some place
between the Martin Van Buren innaugural address and a high school
Salutorian address.
I will note by its absense any reference to “I” have
decided, “I” have directed, “I” have done anything. It is
obvious “I” did not do a damn thing and is therefore not
responsible for any outcome. He could not even deliver “your
time is up” with a “make my day” or “I’ll be back” conviction.
A dull monotone lacking in even the pretense of emotion or
conviction is a “please like me” speech. The only thing good
about the speech was its brevity. There is only so much NBC
quality programming that is acceptable on the airwaves.
Whatever his prompting for the tone to set it went awry
under his skillful implementation. Somber? Decisive? Grave?
No matter what the prompt it came out juvenile and stupid. Even
Fearless Leader can do better than this for Boris and Natasha.
But in any event we have the word of the mouthy horse. We
are invading Haiti because our national security is threatened by
the way Haitians are treating Haitian. I do not explain ’em. I
only report ’em. We have the word of The Clinton as to the
gospel truth of the reason for this killing of Haitians and the
loss of American lives. And above all remember, We Come In
Peace.

There is ZERO evidence of that. There is only the

everything the government has said about the situation was a lie
starting with the perjured warrant.
DV> “Fanaticism ?” Upon what do you base your allegation ?
JJ> This person was a threat to the people and the government.
JJ> If he hadn’t been stopped then it would have ended up with

JJ> a very dangerous one.
Again, that is only a government claim with no evidence
whatsoever to support it. And the sheriff and the neighbors tell
exactly the opposite story. They found absolutely no problem and
no reason for concern and considered them good neighbors.
It would be good for you to take a look at the actual
evidence rather than buying into the propaganda demonization of
Koresh that was released by the government. The government’s
actions in the case were criminal. All the senior personnel
involved were given either early retirement or permanent
reassignment to where they can not be involved in such an
operation again.
I do not think that is enough. Perjury and murder should
not get off so easily.

That it did not ruin the economy is simply that no one was

even though it is the weakest since WW II. Who said Billie Jeff

The situation is very simple and straightforward. When all

motivated by the good of the country than are the voters. They
are motivated by competition and winning just as the voters are
motivated by their party’s candidate winning, to hell with the

LW> Everything a sane human does is in his/her interests.
When you hear a politician say it, it means for their own
re-election. It is called indirection.

LW> listen to the majority of Americans. At least the way
LW> things have gone lately. It’s far too easy to over-estimate

Making decisions based upon estimates of the intelligence of
others leads to intellectual arrogance. You can see the fundies
being derided because they lead with religion and morality but if
you listen longer they are in fact talking about a reasonable
solution to problems as they see them.
That is the kind of problem we find ourselves in today. The
Northeast first and the West coast second hold themselves
intellectually and culturally superior to the rest of the
country. It is a given in those cultures. They do not speak the
same language (have the same cultural referents) and are not
interested in learning it.
LW> To wit: Many (maybe *most*) cannot tell you how long it
LW> takes the Earth to circle the Sun.
And of course the fundies who can not do that are the ones
who are pushing for a return to the basics in school at the
expense of “cultural enrichment” or whatever the buzz words are
this year.
LW> To wit: Most Americans cannot name their senators and/or
LW> representatives.
That is changing rapidly and the pols are not very happy
about the mail they are getting because of it.
LW> To wit: Americans reversed their positions on the Gulf War
LW> in the space of a month, and the only thing that had

You were reading different papers than I was reading. It is

waited until January, in fact Congress was last to come on board.

When it comes to women in the military getting pregnant it
should be treated no different than a man shoothing himself in

combat. It was disgusting to read of all the cowardly women
prior to the Gulf War making their weekly trips to the base
hospital for pregnancy tests.
Anyone turning up pregnant after August of 1990 should have
been court mashalled.

Invading Haiti
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/16>
On September 15th, 1994 at 9pm Eastern Standard Time we
heard President William Jefferson Clinton declare the invasion of
Haiti was in the interest of the security of the United States of
America. He then went on to define our security being
threatened by the way Haitians were treating Haitians.
We were left with the burning question. Is he the president
of the United States or of the Dominican Republic? I can see the
Dominican Republic being threatened by a lawless government in
Haiti but some how I can not imagine laying in survival gear here
in Tampa.
Given the massive assets being committed to Haiti I had the
passing idea that he would announce at 9pm that the invasion of
Cuba had begun at 8pm in a brilliant military coup of
misdirection. I was of course not disappointed. He repeated his
slacked jawed bluster against Haiti.
He did not mention the invasion was part of the deal with
the Black Caucus in Congress for their support of the crime bill.
He did not mention that the other justification was an attempt to
salvage his own credibility after his irresponsible threats.
He did repeat his naive claim that the military leaders of
Haiti had broken their promise to leave. Anyone who has followed
Presient Clinton’s track record knows he is an expert in
identifying broken promises. It would appear he is sanctioning a
military take over against himself for breaking promises.
He did recount horror stories while failing to demonstrate a
one of them. Much like the horror stories of Iraquis actions in
Kuwait turning out premature babies to ship the incubators to
Iraq he recounted executions of orphans. Of course with a
straight face he expected us to believe him or perhaps be
believes it himself.
And then, taking a cue from dozens of 1950s SciFi flicks and
from the recent Dolph Longhren movie he gave a message to the
Haitian people, We Come In Peace. Now perhaps those 1950s movies
are still first run in Arkansas, perhaps they are cult classics,
but that does not reduce the sheer melodramatic corn of the line.
I do have a taste for B movies but that line is straight from
Plan Nine From Outer Space.
OK, Haitians, we are coming in peace with half the assets we
used to turn around the war at sea in the Pacific in WW II. If
we were not coming in peace we would be bringing some serious
assets to bear, like the entire Atlantic Fleet. But you can tell
by two carrier battle groups (26 ships and four submarines) that
we come in peace and mean you no harm.
You will be convinced we come in peace when you see a
thousand paratroopers falling from the sky. When your country is
under the control of armed American troops you will know we have
come in peace.
This boy is for real? This a kid pretending to be a comic
book superhero.
Enough. All the fish in the barrel are dead. I used an
assault weapon.
This was the most “please like me” speech I have ever heard
from any politician in my life. If I were to regard all speech
subject matter as equal and simply judge quality it is some place
between the Martin Van Buren innaugural address and a high school
Salutorian address.
I will note by its absense any reference to “I” have
decided, “I” have directed, “I” have done anything. It is
obvious “I” did not do a damn thing and is therefore not
responsible for any outcome. He could not even deliver “your
time is up” with a “make my day” or “I’ll be back” conviction.
A dull monotone lacking in even the pretense of emotion or
conviction is a “please like me” speech. The only thing good
about the speech was its brevity. There is only so much NBC
quality programming that is acceptable on the airwaves.
Whatever his prompting for the tone to set it went awry
under his skillful implementation. Somber? Decisive? Grave?
No matter what the prompt it came out juvenile and stupid. Even
Fearless Leader can do better than this for Boris and Natasha.
But in any event we have the word of the mouthy horse. We
are invading Haiti because our national security is threatened by
the way Haitians are treating Haitian. I do not explain ’em. I
only report ’em. We have the word of The Clinton as to the
gospel truth of the reason for this killing of Haitians and the
loss of American lives. And above all remember, We Come In
Peace.

There is ZERO evidence of that. There is only the

everything the government has said about the situation was a lie
starting with the perjured warrant.

JJ> This person was a threat to the people and the government.
JJ> If he hadn’t been stopped then it would have ended up with

Again, that is only a government claim with no evidence
whatsoever to support it. And the sheriff and the neighbors tell
exactly the opposite story. They found absolutely no problem and
no reason for concern and considered them good neighbors.
It would be good for you to take a look at the actual
evidence rather than buying into the propaganda demonization of
Koresh that was released by the government. The government’s
actions in the case were criminal. All the senior personnel
involved were given either early retirement or permanent
reassignment to where they can not be involved in such an
operation again.
I do not think that is enough. Perjury and murder should
not get off so easily.

People go crazy at such times, nations do not. Perhaps that

As for the time for tensions, Clancy’s latest is about the
worst case short of starting over. The countries that matter
have worked together against the Soviet Union for nearly half a
century. Russia is starting from scratch.
This same sort of thing happens after every war, the winners
have worked together and the losers have to recover. It takes a
while for things to realign and new problems to develop into
hatreds that can justify war. Any war worth fighting takes time
to develop.

Subject: Jimmy Carter, Superstar
Jimmy Carter, Superstar
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/19>
Once again, President Carter has pulled a rabbit out of a
hat or rather a President Clinton of out the kimchee. First he
saves President Clinton’s political backside by simply going to
Korea and talking to them. Over the weekend he simply goes to
Haiti and talks to them.
I will grant it did not hurt that towards the end of the
discussions that were having little success a member of Cedras’
staff came in shouting, “De planes, Boss, De planes!” Of course
it does beg the question of which satellite recon system the the
Haitian were using to determine that planes had left the ground
in North Carolina. It speaks volumes for President Clinton’s
Operational Security.
It certainly helped the President Carter ignored President
Clinton’s mid afternoon requests to give up and come home. It
appears President Carter has mastered a skill few other democrats
have mastered, doing exactly the opposite of what President
Clinton advises although most of them do appear to simply ignore
him.
We heard that President Clinton was not very happy with
President Carter for upstaging him in Korea to the point of not
personally hearing his debriefing. To express his displeasure
this time, President Clinton ordered the invasion into action
while President Carter was still in Haiti. Perhaps he was hoping
for a hostage crisis to apply his rhetorical skills toward.
On the good side Limbaugh has been right one more time. He
said there would not be an invasion and that a deal had been made
with Cedras to step down and make President Clinton look good
before the elections. Does the current date of 15 October for
stepping down sound like before the elections to you?
And it sounds like a good deal also. Not only amnesty (if
the US can deliver it from the Haitian Parliament) but we, the
taxpayers, get to pick up the pensions and retraining of much of
the Haitian military. What Cedras and the leaders got has not
been revealed but one presumes it could not be less, that is an
early retirement for all of them with the US paying their
pensions.
If there were no cash payments there certainly are four
weeks to clearly loot the country as the US will eliminate all
sanctions and free up all bank accounts. Perhaps we should thank
President Carter for saving us the lump sum payment by giving him
the green light to take all he can carry away with him. Sort of
like a perverted game show.
There will be no bloody invasion although more than a little
bloodshed is not precluded as slaughtering the losers is a long
cherished Haitian tradition. And of course our troops will be
trying to jump into the middle of any such slaughtering.
And of course if Cedras does not get amnesty then he has an
excuse to back out but as the country is occupied the best he can
do is call for a guerrilla war. That can last for decades and
cost many American lives but then the occupation force should be
able to persuade the Parliament for what that is worth against
assassination.
The problem as President Clinton is announcing is solved.
Aristide will return and democracy will reign in Haiti for the
first time. Of course to preserve it there will need to be
schools, some means of wiping out the primitive superstitions of
the natives (a more correct term than citizens at the moment) and
of course we will need to improve the infrastructure of the
country.
Now the real problem will be the simple fact that we have
gone through this evolution solely to install a Marxist,
defrocked priest who has not grasp upon either economic or
physical reality. That perhaps explains both Aristide’s penchant
for inciting his followers to necklace his enemies and his
psychotic behavior.
But this man is now the choice of the United States to lead
Haiti to its democratic future along with economic progress
bought and paid for by the US taxpayers. And rest assured
President Clinton has a plan for leaving some time real soon
although he is not willing to share it with us.
To get ahead of the game here remember President Clinton has
stated his reasons for all of this, human rights violations and
the restoration of Democracy. Above I said infrastructure
improvements but he did not. Yet it does seem natural does it
not? But he did not give infrastructure improvements as one of
his reasons.
As we know President Clinton is not known for keeping his
word or for sticking to the issue as he failed to do in Somalia
which cost 42 American lives. President Clinton has already
backed down on his demand that Cedras leave the country. Perhaps
that was a minor point to avoid the invasion but it certainly was
a negotiable point.
And finally it ends with a press conference by President
Clinton and the President Carter Team where they pat each other
on the back on what a great job everyone did. The important
point they all make is that the UN mandates will be executed. Ah
well, maybe it was not the Black Caucus that motivated President
Clinton.

Subject: BIG BANG
IL> CB> And, tell me how (again) compounds existed before the big
IL> CB> bang.
IL> Easy: some elements existed, they were explosive, they did
IL> explode, and that was the big bang.
Elements are not explosive. If you want to bring in nuclear
reactions then the universe would be composed of fission
products. It is not.
No chemical OR nuclear explosion has anything like the
observed velocity of the receding galaxies as in close to .4 of
light speed in some cases.
Therefore no explosion unless you wish to imagine there can
be such an explosion just because you need it to fit the rest of
your imaginings.
Again, from what I
IL> gather here, my logical analysis of what could happen
IL> disagrees with the idea that there was “nothing.” It makes
IL> no sense whatsoever for there to have ever been nothing.
IL> Simply provide me with some rational reason to believe it.
The reason is that it fits observation. Observation has
nothing to do with your poor comprehension of logic and reason.
Now give us all a reason to believe in your imaginary
explosion caused by imaginary explosives.
IL> CB> That’s the whole idea of something being created: nothing
IL> CB> -> something
IL> Maybe nothing was ever created, only things being changed
IL> constantly. That much we have observed, that we only change
IL> and nothing is ever created or destroyed, really.
You have failed to read Hawking’s discussion of the creation
of energy at the event horizon of a black hole. What is taking
you so long? Do you expect to get all of your education spoon
fed here while you refuse to learn anything about the subject on
your own?
IL> CB> Really? There has always been energy? Well, then, Ian,
IL> CB> you must have found the answer! That should disprove every
IL> CB> creation theory in existence! If energy has always been
IL> CB> here, there never was a beginning, was there?
IL> I guess so! There’s always been energy as far as we can
IL> tell.
If that were true then why does all the evidence we have
(99.9% you have not taken the time to even look at) indicate that
there was such a time? It that something that was put there to
test our faith? (Working in your creator just to make you feel
better.)
Has any evidence been found that indicates in any
IL> logical way that there was not energy or matter? How did
IL> this argument ever start with no indication of this at all?
All of it. READ on the subject. You arguments based upon
your own ignorance are getting very tiring.
IL> I liken this to an argument about why the sun is cold when,
IL> in fact, it isn’t. Many may argue different reasons for why
IL> the sun is cold but all arguments in their very nature are
IL> all wrong.
Just where did you run across that?
IL> I don’t know if it really is wrong but I’m just looking at
IL> this logically. There has been no logical reason presented
IL> to me yet to believe or even indicate the possibility that
IL> there was nothing.
You are looking at things in complete and total ignorance of
the evidence that you have to explain. You are only restating
your own ignorance of the subject you are pretending to discuss.
You are NOT discussing anything as you are contributing nothing
to the discussion.
IL> CB> Matter and energy have just “always been here”? No
IL> CB> creation? They were always here? That’s illogical.
IL> No it’s not illogical. It’s very logical. As we use energy,
IL> we convert it. As matter is composed and decomposed, we
IL> change it. We never make more or destroy any. We can’t do
IL> that. No one has ever observed that matter or energy can be
IL> destroyed or created. We always observe that energy and
IL> matter can and do change. It is therefore logical to
IL> believe that both matter and energy can change and
IL> illogical to believe that matter and energy can be created.
IL> That’s logic at it’s finest.
What does WE have to do with it? Please be specific. You
are of course arguing that continuous fusion as in the sun is
impossible because WE can not do it. That is not only illogical
but plain stupid.
IL> CB> To assume that there was always time is illogical.
IL> No, it’s logical to assume there was always time. There is
IL> time now, there is no indication that there was ever “no
IL> time,” therefore it’s logical to assume that we’ve always
IL> had time. We know we have it now and there’s no logical
IL> reason to believe it wasn’t here.
There is EVERY indication there was such a time. You are
simply ignorant of the indications. Why do you continue like
this?
IL> You have now done something 3 times. This is what you’re
IL> doing: you’re replying to each of my logical statements and
IL> claiming they’re illogical. Each of your statements is
IL> wrong and without supporting evidence. These arrogant and
IL> ill-prepared statements get you nowhere. I’ve proven you
IL> wrong now so you can prepare again. I suggest you prepare
IL> yourself better next time.
You need an education before you can contribute to this
discussion.
IL> CB> My, my, Ian, your very judgemental. You always assume you
IL> CB> are right, and everyone is wrong.
IL> It’s just a fact of life people have to get used to.
I am certain Hawking will be happy to learn you are he is
completely wrong and you are his successor. After all, the
general agreement his is the greatest mind since Einstein is no
more than people deluding themselves. They should all listen to
you.
IL> CB> Time and dimensions were created as well with matter and
IL> CB> energy.
IL> Show your supporting logic for that claim.
Consider learning the facts before you continue this
discussion.

Subject: Army Sits It Out
Army Sits It Out
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/19>
The question has arisen as to the role of the US Military in
any possible revolution in this country. The type of
insurrection I refer to is a general uprising in all states
starting in the form of a guerrilla war. This clearly means
there would be no face to face confrontation with the regular
army. Further that they would live no different from anyone else
while conducting the revolution. This will initially involve
only a small fraction of the population, perhaps 1%.
Consider that we have three branches Army, Navy (Marines)
and Air Force. Clearly the Navy and Marines are of no value in
suppressing a general insurrection. Unless an entire coastal
state goes over to the insurrection the Navy and Marines are
clearly useless save for air strikes.
Air strikes lack feasability for both the Navy and the Air
Force save when the insurrectionists have known and fixed
positions or supply routes. As they would have only their own
homes or certain meeting places, perhaps loud bars, and their
food and materiel is bought in grocery and hardware stores just
like everyone else there are not targets to strike.
Further air strikes have a serious problem with collateral
damage. It may impress Dan Rather to show a successful strike
upon a suburban home but high explosives do not spare neighboring
homes. And the relatives of the neighbors who die will most
likely join the revolution rather than thank the government.
That increases the forces of the revolution.
That leaves the Army as the only potentially useful force in
suppressing an insurrection. The last three words are critical.
Although Congress was delegated the power to raise armies (for
two year intervals) and to create a standing Navy, it was clearly
delegated only the power to use the militia to suppress
insurrections. Given the mood of all Englishmen and certainly of
the ex-colonists the use of the Army to suppress insurrection
could not possibly be construed as their intention.
And as everyone in the Army takes an oath to uphold and
defend the Constitution there is no room for complying with an
order to suppress an insurrection. Thus it would appear by their
oaths of office, not to mention the general revulsion of our
military people to shooting at friends and relatives. Perhaps
that is a bit of an understatement.
There is a point of law and case law that has to be
addressed. The US Code improperly identifies the National Guard
as the organized militia and non-members of the Guard as the
unorganized militia. Thus it could be held that the National
Guard could be used against the rebels.
But we have had a Supreme Court decision that clarifies the
matter. Some years ago Reagan called up the Guard for exercises
in Central America to intimidate Ortega. The objection to that
was taken to the Supreme Court on the grounds the Guard was a
state function. And in this case the Supreme Court, certainly
forgetting unforeseen consequences, held the Guard was part of
the US Army.
End discussion. The National Guard can not be used against
an insurrection and of course they have the same oath of office.
That leaves the only authority Congress has, to call forth
the militia to suppress other members of the militia. Most
interesting is those aware of their militia status are those most
likely to have joined the revolution. It presents an interesting
problem for the Federal Government.
It requires the Federal Government to use its existing
police powers to enforce whatever laws are delegated to the
agencies with those powers. There are relatively few such people
much less laws. Certainly if someone were to destroy a federal
building then the FBI could investigate as it could any terrorist
activity. However there are precious few other laws it can
enforce in any manner different than can be done now.
In most cases they are support for the local police not
having the manpower of the local police. In that regard the
local police are equally as abhorant as the military in attacking
friends and relatives. In other words, the local police are not
likely to be aggressive in the matter and, in reading the
character and interests of the police, are more likely to be part
of the revolution than against it.
The worst case is that some fraction of the Army can be
subborned to the cause of suppressing the rebellion. In the
worst case all of it. Consider the grounds rebellion as I have
described it without strongholds, only homes and meeting places
which have to be discovered the hard way. These will be all
through the cities but clustered in no one place.
That means all heavy weapons are useless because of the risk
of collateral damage and converting loyalists into rebels. The
Army is then down to armored personnel carriers, HMMVs and foot
soldiers. The main weapon of tanks is high on the collateral
damage scale as well as being very risky for their crews to take
into cities — ask any tank driver.
The armored vehicles are all well and good but for any
serious shooting the troops have to get out. At that point,
other than training, the playing field has been leveled. As for
training, another large group to draw on for the rebellion will
be ex-military and they will be the source of training and
expertise for the rebels. The Regular Army will still have the
edge but not by much.
Add to that, not only do tank drivers not like entering
cities, neither do foot soldiers. There are too many places for
people to hide. The only way to pacify as house is to enter it
and every part of a home is a potential ambush. And there is no
way of knowing the shooter in the window has been neutralized
without checking and when someone enters the building to check
there is no way to be covered by others in the group.
Worse yet rifles are clumsy things to use in houses.
Handguns are much better but at in home distances and places the
owner knows, the army folks are at a distinct disadvantage.
Summing it all up, even with the Army being subborned into
suppression of a revolution it is hardly the most effective means
of doing so, perhaps to the point of ineffective. Consider the
local police often choose the wrong house, address or whatever.
It is one thing to excuse the local police who may have helped
you in the past. It is another to excuse the Army for killing
the wrong people. Further to actually suppress a rebellion they
will have to rack up so many accidents per week that the excuses
that work for the police once a year will cease working in one
week.
A general insurrection can not be suppressed by the Federal
government, only by the militia which is the body of the people.
When the body of the people become the insurrectionists the
government will fall. There is no other possible outcome.

Subject: Criminalize the Consequen
Criminalizing the Consequences
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/19>
When all else fails in condemning victimless crimes, condemn
them because of the consequences. This is common in the three
most famous victimless crimes; prostitution, drugs and gambling.
It is becoming more common and with the same puritanical
justifications.
Why should not honest citizens own guns? Because they might
be stolen and misused. Will they be stolen and misused? That is
quite unpredictable. Can it be foreseen? Of course not. But it
might happen therefore, no guns for the potential victims.
It is not much different with drugs. They are 90% weekend
recreation and there is not the slightest indication that all
users are on a never ending downward spiral. Marion Barry, the
once and future Mayor of Washington DC was a nearly life long
user until he was entrapped by the Federal Government and there
was no sign of any diminished capacity. He would make a very
antithetical poster child any anti-drug campaign. “Use drugs and
this may happen to you.”
Locally we have a classic criminal. He bet money on a poker
game at the Elks Lodge. He may be 72 but it is never too late to
do the time for doing the crime. But he is now an official
criminal. With any luck he may be given probation meaning if he
gets caught gambling there again he gets the maximum for both
offenses.
It is good to see we are keeping organized crime out of area
by punishing him. Why if he had continued to gamble who knows
what kind of sin would have come next. Why he might even have
visited a prostitute, smoked a joint even.
These are old jokes derided by everyone but then are the
anti-gun and anti-smoking laws any different? The risk of
consequential harm from either of those is on the same order as
the risk of harm from second hand smoke but the cries of moral
indignation are as fierce as those of the Women’s Christian
Temperance Union in its heyday.
This entire attitude flows from the human trait to be
superstitious and to follow authority. When we are told
something is wrong or evil or undesirable with great authority we
tend to accept it. And once accepted any remotely related
example will encourage even greater belief.
Consider, depending upon which variant of your religion you
follow either great material wealth is a sign of a blessing from
god or a sign of sinfulness and ill-gotten wealth or exactly the
reverse. Rich or poor it can be a sign of being good or evil.
But whichever your belief it takes only searching out a few
horrible examples and ignoring the rest to prove the case.
Excuse you, you are not religious. Do you believe drugs
cause great harm to a person? Then you find excuses to explain
Marion Barry while you trot out a bum on the street begging for
change so he can shoot up some drug. Voile! You have proven
your case.
Do you believe gun ownership is harmful? Then you take
every example of drug dealers killing each other as proof. But
if you hold guns ownership is good then you point to successful
self defense with guns and ignore the rest.
This is a human characteristics and it is precisely the
reason why we have applied statistics and surveys to social
issues. We use them to provide a complete picture and to get
away from personal inclinations to see what justifies our
beliefs.
Now certainly statistics can lie with the best of them but
they are a cut above searching out horrible examples to prove a
position that is nothing more than a belief passed along with
authority. And lying with statistics requires serious effort at
self deception or at deceiving others while knowing better. And
that is where the peer review and publication of science comes
into play.
To be accepted as a true finding it is subject first to peer
review for the method prior to publication and then to critical
review by people in the same field. Only after it becomes
accepted by others in the field can it be considered a valid
finding. This is the only route to determine a valid finding and
it can not be hurried and may take years.
That does not suit the human trait of finding a horrible
consequence for everything disliked and a good consequence for
everything liked.
Consider the idea that wealth is a sign of having come by it
through immoral means. That may be possible but clearly the
majority of such people are in prison or in a position in life
they can never escape because of their criminal record. If that
statistic fails then there is reference to white collar crime and
the very few serious cases of it are brought out as horrible
examples while ignoring the vast majority of white collar workers
who are honest wage slaves like most everyone else.
The carefully selected consequences resulting from some
people performing some action do not justify making anything a
crime. For example when the drug decriminalization people state
quite clearly the crime has no victim the drug haters trot out a
few horrible examples of what can happen to people around them
because of the drug usage and call them victims. In the good old
days of a suffering wife and children this might have had some
meaning however remote but today if the mother stays around we
have to ask if she likes being a victim.
There is no justification for making criminals of a large
number of people simply because it is possible to find a small
number of examples of consequences that are undesirable. We are
no longer uncivilized, superstitious tribesmen and it is time we
started acting in accordance with our pretensions of justice.

agencies with those powers. There are relatively few such people
much less laws. Certainly if someone were to destroy a federal
building then the FBI could investigate as it could any terrorist
activity. However there are precious few other laws it can
enforce in any manner different than can be done now.
In most cases they are support for the local police not
having the manpower of the local police. In that regard the
local police are equally as abhorant as the military in attacking
friends and relatives. In other words, the local police are not
likely to be aggressive in the matter and, in reading the
character and interests of the police, are more likely to be part
of the revolution than against it.
The worst case is that some fraction of the Army can be
subborned to the cause of suppressing the rebellion. In the
worst case all of it. Consider the grounds rebellion as I have
described it without strongholds, only homes and meeting places
which have to be discovered the hard way. These will be all
through the cities but clustered in no one place.
That means all heavy weapons are useless because of the risk
of collateral damage and converting loyalists into rebels. The
Army is then down to armored personnel carriers, HMMVs and foot
soldiers. The main weapon of tanks is high on the collateral
damage scale as well as being very risky for their crews to take
into cities — ask any tank driver.
The armored vehicles are all well and good but for any
serious shooting the troops have to get out. At that point,
other than training, the playing field has been leveled. As for
training, another large group to draw on for the rebellion will
be ex-military and they will be the source of training and
expertise for the rebels. The Regular Army will still have the
edge but not by much.
Add to that, not only do tank drivers not like entering
cities, neither do foot soldiers. There are too many places for
people to hide. The only way to pacify as house is to enter it
and every part of a home is a potential ambush. And there is no
way of knowing the shooter in the window has been neutralized
without checking and when someone enters the building to check
there is no way to be covered by others in the group.
Worse yet rifles are clumsy things to use in houses.
Handguns are much better but at in home distances and places the
owner knows, the army folks are at a distinct disadvantage.
Summing it all up, even with the Army being subborned into
suppression of a revolution it is hardly the most effective means
of doing so, perhaps to the point of ineffective. Consider the
local police often choose the wrong house, address or whatever.
It is one thing to excuse the local police who may have helped
you in the past. It is another to excuse the Army for killing
the wrong people. Further to actually suppress a rebellion they
will have to rack up so many accidents per week that the excuses
that work for the police once a year will cease working in one
week.
A general insurrection can not be suppressed by the Federal
government, only by the militia which is the body of the people.
When the body of the people become the insurrectionists the
government will fall. There is no other possible outcome.

Subject: Criminalize the Consequen
Criminalizing the Consequences
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/19>
When all else fails in condemning victimless crimes, condemn
them because of the consequences. This is common in the three
most famous victimless crimes; prostitution, drugs and gambling.
It is becoming more common and with the same puritanical
justifications.
Why should not honest citizens own guns? Because they might
be stolen and misused. Will they be stolen and misused? That is
quite unpredictable. Can it be foreseen? Of course not. But it
might happen therefore, no guns for the potential victims.
It is not much different with drugs. They are 90% weekend
recreation and there is not the slightest indication that all
users are on a never ending downward spiral. Marion Barry, the
once and future Mayor of Washington DC was a nearly life long
user until he was entrapped by the Federal Government and there
was no sign of any diminished capacity. He would make a very
antithetical poster child any anti-drug campaign. “Use drugs and
this may happen to you.”
Locally we have a classic criminal. He bet money on a poker
game at the Elks Lodge. He may be 72 but it is never too late to
do the time for doing the crime. But he is now an official
criminal. With any luck he may be given probation meaning if he
gets caught gambling there again he gets the maximum for both
offenses.
It is good to see we are keeping organized crime out of area
by punishing him. Why if he had continued to gamble who knows
what kind of sin would have come next. Why he might even have
visited a prostitute, smoked a joint even.
These are old jokes derided by everyone but then are the
anti-gun and anti-smoking laws any different? The risk of
consequential harm from either of those is on the same order as
the risk of harm from second hand smoke but the cries of moral
indignation are as fierce as those of the Women’s Christian
Temperance Union in its heyday.
This entire attitude flows from the human trait to be
superstitious and to follow authority. When we are told
something is wrong or evil or undesirable with great authority we
tend to accept it. And once accepted any remotely related
example will encourage even greater belief.
Consider, depending upon which variant of your religion you
follow either great material wealth is a sign of a blessing from
god or a sign of sinfulness and ill-gotten wealth or exactly the
reverse. Rich or poor it can be a sign of being good or evil.
But whichever your belief it takes only searching out a few
horrible examples and ignoring the rest to prove the case.
Excuse you, you are not religious. Do you believe drugs
cause great harm to a person? Then you find excuses to explain
Marion Barry while you trot out a bum on the street begging for
change so he can shoot up some drug. Voile! You have proven
your case.
Do you believe gun ownership is harmful? Then you take
every example of drug dealers killing each other as proof. But
if you hold guns ownership is good then you point to successful
self defense with guns and ignore the rest.
This is a human characteristics and it is precisely the
reason why we have applied statistics and surveys to social
issues. We use them to provide a complete picture and to get
away from personal inclinations to see what justifies our
beliefs.
Now certainly statistics can lie with the best of them but
they are a cut above searching out horrible examples to prove a
position that is nothing more than a belief passed along with
authority. And lying with statistics requires serious effort at
self deception or at deceiving others while knowing better. And
that is where the peer review and publication of science comes
into play.
To be accepted as a true finding it is subject first to peer
review for the method prior to publication and then to critical
review by people in the same field. Only after it becomes
accepted by others in the field can it be considered a valid
finding. This is the only route to determine a valid finding and
it can not be hurried and may take years.
That does not suit the human trait of finding a horrible
consequence for everything disliked and a good consequence for
everything liked.
Consider the idea that wealth is a sign of having come by it
through immoral means. That may be possible but clearly the
majority of such people are in prison or in a position in life
they can never escape because of their criminal record. If that
statistic fails then there is reference to white collar crime and
the very few serious cases of it are brought out as horrible
examples while ignoring the vast majority of white collar workers
who are honest wage slaves like most everyone else.
The carefully selected consequences resulting from some
people performing some action do not justify making anything a
crime. For example when the drug decriminalization people state
quite clearly the crime has no victim the drug haters trot out a
few horrible examples of what can happen to people around them
because of the drug usage and call them victims. In the good old
days of a suffering wife and children this might have had some
meaning however remote but today if the mother stays around we
have to ask if she likes being a victim.
There is no justification for making criminals of a large
number of people simply because it is possible to find a small
number of examples of consequences that are undesirable. We are
no longer uncivilized, superstitious tribesmen and it is time we
started acting in accordance with our pretensions of justice.

Subject: Jimmy Carter, Superstar
Jimmy Carter, Superstar
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/19>
Once again, President Carter has pulled a rabbit out of a
hat or rather a President Clinton of out the kimchee. First he
saves President Clinton’s political backside by simply going to
Korea and talking to them. Over the weekend he simply goes to
Haiti and talks to them.
I will grant it did not hurt that towards the end of the
discussions that were having little success a member of Cedras’
staff came in shouting, “De planes, Boss, De planes!” Of course
it does beg the question of which satellite recon system the the
Haitian were using to determine that planes had left the ground
in North Carolina. It speaks volumes for President Clinton’s
Operational Security.
It certainly helped the President Carter ignored President
Clinton’s mid afternoon requests to give up and come home. It
appears President Carter has mastered a skill few other democrats
have mastered, doing exactly the opposite of what President
Clinton advises although most of them do appear to simply ignore
him.
We heard that President Clinton was not very happy with
President Carter for upstaging him in Korea to the point of not
personally hearing his debriefing. To express his displeasure
this time, President Clinton ordered the invasion into action
while President Carter was still in Haiti. Perhaps he was hoping
for a hostage crisis to apply his rhetorical skills toward.
On the good side Limbaugh has been right one more time. He
said there would not be an invasion and that a deal had been made
with Cedras to step down and make President Clinton look good
before the elections. Does the current date of 15 October for
stepping down sound like before the elections to you?
And it sounds like a good deal also. Not only amnesty (if
the US can deliver it from the Haitian Parliament) but we, the
taxpayers, get to pick up the pensions and retraining of much of
the Haitian military. What Cedras and the leaders got has not
been revealed but one presumes it could not be less, that is an
early retirement for all of them with the US paying their
pensions.
If there were no cash payments there certainly are four
weeks to clearly loot the country as the US will eliminate all
sanctions and free up all bank accounts. Perhaps we should thank
President Carter for saving us the lump sum payment by giving him
the green light to take all he can carry away with him. Sort of
like a perverted game show.
There will be no bloody invasion although more than a little
bloodshed is not precluded as slaughtering the losers is a long
cherished Haitian tradition. And of course our troops will be
trying to jump into the middle of any such slaughtering.
And of course if Cedras does not get amnesty then he has an
excuse to back out but as the country is occupied the best he can
do is call for a guerrilla war. That can last for decades and
cost many American lives but then the occupation force should be
able to persuade the Parliament for what that is worth against
assassination.
The problem as President Clinton is announcing is solved.
Aristide will return and democracy will reign in Haiti for the
first time. Of course to preserve it there will need to be
schools, some means of wiping out the primitive superstitions of
the natives (a more correct term than citizens at the moment) and
of course we will need to improve the infrastructure of the
country.
Now the real problem will be the simple fact that we have
gone through this evolution solely to install a Marxist,
defrocked priest who has not grasp upon either economic or
physical reality. That perhaps explains both Aristide’s penchant
for inciting his followers to necklace his enemies and his
psychotic behavior.
But this man is now the choice of the United States to lead
Haiti to its democratic future along with economic progress
bought and paid for by the US taxpayers. And rest assured
President Clinton has a plan for leaving some time real soon
although he is not willing to share it with us.
To get ahead of the game here remember President Clinton has
stated his reasons for all of this, human rights violations and
the restoration of Democracy. Above I said infrastructure
improvements but he did not. Yet it does seem natural does it
not? But he did not give infrastructure improvements as one of
his reasons.
As we know President Clinton is not known for keeping his
word or for sticking to the issue as he failed to do in Somalia
which cost 42 American lives. President Clinton has already
backed down on his demand that Cedras leave the country. Perhaps
that was a minor point to avoid the invasion but it certainly was
a negotiable point.
And finally it ends with a press conference by President
Clinton and the President Carter Team where they pat each other
on the back on what a great job everyone did. The important
point they all make is that the UN mandates will be executed. Ah
well, maybe it was not the Black Caucus that motivated President
Clinton.

Let me clarify that. They had no arrest warrant. It was a
search warrant that included an open ended (no one named) power
to arrest that was implicitely dependent upon finding the items
the affidavit alleged. Thus there was no way to pick him up
while in town.
That does not leave out meeting at the entrance to ranch,
serving the warrant there and escorting him inside.
Further the warrant was only good for three days, the day of
the attack being the last day is was valid. That is why I have
pointed out the BATF statement that they moved it up because of
the newspaper series starting is prima facia evidence of a
government conspiracy to violate their constitutional rights. In
any event, that means days or weeks before would have been out of
the question in any event.

Subject: HEART DISEASE
JT> For years the debate over the connection between
JT> cholesterol and heart disease divided the medical
JT> establishment. Finally, after the dust had settled, it
JT> became medical dogma: The higher the blood serum levels of
JT> cholesterol the greater the risk factor. Well, that’s not
JT> quite the whole story because medical researchers also
JT> determined that the ratio between low density lipoprotein
JT> (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) was an important
JT> additional factor that must be added to the equation. HDL
JT> is now considered to be “good cholesterol,” and the real
JT> culprit is LDL. Sorry, I almost forgot, there is also the
JT> very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) levels to consider —
JT> the really really “bad cholesterol.” High VLDL levels in
JT> your blood is the pitts and should be avoided like the
JT> plague. Yes, I think I finally got it right. The new
JT> guidelines, which take into consideration all of the above
JT> factors, provides your physician with an excellent tool for
JT> determining your risk of developing heart disease. Right?
This is rather old information. If you can get Dr. Gabe
Merkin on your local radio give him a listen and a call. He was
saying it at least five years ago. And he is one hell of a lot
better than Dean Adelle (sp) to my mind. No editorializing but
plain english lectures on such matters that are interesting if a
bit repetitive.
JT> Well, perhaps! It seems that a new risk factor has been
JT> added to the equation — the lipoprotein (a) molecule,
JT> Lp(a). Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D., a non-renowned, obscure
JT> maverick cardiologist, who had the audacity to leave a good
JT> position at Baylor College of Medicine, because they
JT> didn’t like vitamins, and take a position as Director of
JT> Cardiovascular Research at the Pauling Institute of Science
JT> and Medicine, claims that the Lp(a) molecule is 10 times
JT> more of a risk factor in the development of heart disease
JT> than LDL cholesterol. Dr. Rath explains that Lp(a) acts
JT> like an adhesive and rides piggyback on the LDL molecule as
JT> it moves through the blood vessel walls causing LDL to
JT> stick to the walls of the vessels. The good doctor also
JT> claims the cholesterol dogma is heavily defended in the
JT> interest of making money with cholesterol lowering drugs
JT> which totals over $2 billion a year and these companies
JT> want to keep the public in the dark; they want to keep the
JT> information on Lp(a) hidden. He could be right, I guess,
JT> $2 billion is a lot of money!
And the drugs ONLY work IF the person is on a diet with so
little fat it tastes like cardboard. Nice drugs.

I am not going to argue his case but prior to 1993 the model
did predict exactly that the death rate would exceed the birth
rate. Now the rate of increase appears to be dropping and
fitting a lower end model on infection rate. In a few more years
we should have a good estimate of where the steady state number
of infections will level off.
The data is not good enough to do that yet. Simply good
enough to say it is tending toward leveling.

TR> AP 09/10/94
TR> WACO, Texas (AP) — A monument to the federal agents
TR> killed in the shootout at the Branch Davidian compound has
TR> disappeared. A state road maintenance crew noticed last
TR> week that the metal plaque on top of a waist-high pole was
TR> missing, said Helen Havelka, a spokeswoman for the

TR> the names of the four U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and

TR> standoff near Waco. “I’m baffled,” said Donnie Carter,

TR> someone could have taken it because they didn’t like it
TR> being there. I don’t know.” The McLennan County Sheriff’s
TR> Department is investigating.
Next time they should be more creative and effective in
expressing an opinion. There is no message regarding a missing
plaque to those who do not know there should be one and there is
always the risk of prosecution for vandalism.
But decorating it with manure or the human equivalent if it
is outside any corporate limits or using it as a pissing pole
does express an opinion quite effectively and it is always there
for all to see.

Subject: PROPOSITION 188
Miss Grundy Is Alive
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/20>
This November Californians will be voting on Proposition
188. Many municipalities in the state have passed different
variations of laws banning smoking in certain places.
Proposition 188 seeks to abolish all of them and institute one
uniform statewide law.
Let me first point out that ANY law restricting freedom is
onerous. The only merit to Proposition 188 is that it will
replace many severely restrictive laws and its greatest demerit
is that it will impose restrictions where there are no
restrictions. Overall it is no different in spirit or temperament
than the local ordinances.
Proposition 188 is a primary example of the reason why there
should NEVER be compromise with those who would take away
liberty. Compromise always gives up some degree of liberty. One
should never compromise with evil.
What is interesting to consider is the overall basis that
supports anti-smoking laws. The people who support these laws
were against smoking from the day they first formed an opinion on
the subject. That they have jumped on to statistically
insignificant studies of harm to non-smokers has no bearing.
Scratch an anti-smoking advocate spouting statistics and you will
find their true intellectual depth extends to whining, “it
stinks.”
Were that not enough, they are not content to simply avoid
it themselves. Rather they are intent upon saving everyone else
from this fate worse than death, that is, the smell. The ballot
box, membership in a congregation or something else voluntary is
the only justification one person can use to speak for any other
much less a group of others. Yet these folks are more than happy
to speak for all non-smokers as they had power of attorney from
all of them.
Also they appear to get some kind of thrill by imagining
they are in the majority and championing the rights of the
majority. They get this fantasy by seeing smokers are in the
minority and pretending all non-smokers are as rabidly and
irrationally anti-smoking as they. They fail to note the vast
majority of non-smokers who are in the “don’t care” category.
That category is the largest of them all outnumbering both
smokers and non-smokers.
They invent their arguments as they go along and have
little interest in reason. For example, in their pompous
assumption they can speak for others they plead for the trivial
minority with true allergies to tobacco smoke while ignoring its
true rarity (as opposed to who start coughing at the sight of an
unlit cigarette.) They hold smoking at work bars them from jobs.
Strangely they are silent about the 100 times more common
people with back problems who are in pain when standing and never
demand jobs that require standing be banned. That would of
course be a rational position but they are not interested in a
rational position. “EET STEENKS!”
There is a character in the national psyche known as Miss
Grundy a name given by the late Robert A. Heinlein. This is a
person whose entire mission in life is to save others from
themselves. Her one talent is rallying her fellow Miss Grundys
to noble causes.
She lead the good fight for temperance, against alcohol and
is always in the forefront of protecting community standards.
She is characterized by being an old maid (matrimonially
challenged) and having nothing better to do with her life than
meddle in the lives of others. Today here crusade is against
smoking.
Miss Grundy would have us believe that were it not for
smoking we would live forever. Of course she will deny that but
you will never get her to talk in terms of shortened life span.
She insists upon talking in terms of deaths due to smoking.
She works to protect the “don’t care” non-smokers from
smokers. That they do not want her protection is of no interest
to her as it is in their own good.
She wants to make smoking as difficult as possible for
smokers so that they will quit and she no longer has to work so
hard at imagining the smell of tobacco under her bed or in her
closet every night. Miss Grundy is not concerned that smokers do
not care about the risks of smoking. She knows she has to act
for their own good.
Scratch Miss Grundy and she will tell you it stinks. Ask
why she can not stand the sight of a smoker one hundred feet away
and she will tell you it stinks. Ask why no one should smoke
around the “don’t cares” and she will tell you it makes them
stink.
Miss Grundy also bathes six times a day and buys FDS by the
case.
It is a bit of a digression to note that the most primitive
and mindless hatreds are smell related. Note the “smell alcohol
on his breath” references starting fights when there is no other
sign of intoxication. There is an almost unique American
obsession with smells. It appears to drive some of us into
irrational behavior.
But to Miss Grundy her personal dislikes are automatically
wrong, evil, immoral and, if she not fat, fattening. If she is
fat she will ignore the last. The national fetish with health
only encourages her. The most popular jogging guru in the
country drops dead of a heart attack while jogging and joggers
work to double their distance.
She has an implicit belief that if all forms of unhealthy
behavior are avoided there she will live forever. She wishes to
give that gift to everyone. And beside, it stinks.
Here is a true story of two friends of mine, a smoker and an
ex-smoker. They were also friends and co-workers of each other.
The ex-smoker kept trying to get the smoker to quit so he would
live longer. The smoker kept responding, “if I were hit by a
speeding truck and died tomorrow think of the enjoyment I would
lose.” Today the smoker is still alive. The ex-smoker died of
being hit by a speeding truck.
In the words of Jimmy Carter, “Life isn’t fair.”
Thus there are three factors at work here. At the highest
level we have the intrusion on individual liberty by activists.
Next we have the activists themselves who are mildly deranged by
smell and an absence of a real life of their own. And finally a
childlike belief in avoiding “bad” things there will be a reward
of more life.
I have to agree with Jimmy Carter on the subject, life is
not fair. If all tobacco could be magically eliminated from the
world tomorrow it would not take Miss Grundy more than a week to
find another cause to intrude upon out liberties. That is the
way of the beast and its number is the aucht and dreizehn Sturm
Soldaten.

FS> our healthcare system is already open to all. So what’s the

FS> *COSTS* — *that’s* what’s really needed.
Early on they tried to justify meddling with insurance by
floating the idea that every country with socialized medicine had
built upon the system that existed in their country before it
started. That did not quite sell as the response was that fully
1/3 of the US system was Medicare and Medicaid and thus it was in
fact the model simply force fitting the insurance industry into
that mold.
Further they are not pushing insurance at all, rather
prepaid health care which is something quite different from
insurance. That is the trend of the top of the line insurance
plans and certainly the goal of socialized medicine but it is not
insurance.
Real insurance was proposed by Nixon and was shot down for
some reason I do not remember, probably because he was a
Republican. He proposed catastrophic health insurance paid by
taxes and it had some rather high threshold before it kicked in.
I have always been against socialized medicine but that did have
an appeal. On the down side the threshold would have been
politically lowered until is was effectively prepaid health care.
As for cost control, it is the cost controls in that 1/3
provided by the government that have most seriously contributed
to the cost increases that are not directly attributable to more
expensive treatments that are more desirable or effective than
previous treatments. That is called progress. If you follow the
plan you will find it is clear that the extra costs for research
into new methods will be the hardest hit.

TR> AP 09/10/94
TR> WACO, Texas (AP) — A monument to the federal agents
TR> killed in the shootout at the Branch Davidian compound has
TR> disappeared. A state road maintenance crew noticed last
TR> week that the metal plaque on top of a waist-high pole was
TR> missing, said Helen Havelka, a spokeswoman for the
TR> Department of Transportation. The plaque was engraved with
TR> the names of the four U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
TR> Firearms agents who were killed in the Feb. 28, 1993,
TR> standoff near Waco. “I’m baffled,” said Donnie Carter,
TR> special agent in charge of the Houston ATF office. “My
TR> instinct tells me someone could have done it as a prank, or
TR> someone could have taken it because they didn’t like it
TR> being there. I don’t know.” The McLennan County Sheriff’s
TR> Department is investigating.
Next time they should be more creative and effective in
expressing an opinion. There is no message regarding a missing
plaque to those who do not know there should be one and there is
always the risk of prosecution for vandalism.
But decorating it with manure or the human equivalent if it
is outside any corporate limits or using it as a pissing pole
does express an opinion quite effectively and it is always there
for all to see.

Subject: PROPOSITION 188
Miss Grundy Is Alive
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/20>
This November Californians will be voting on Proposition
188. Many municipalities in the state have passed different
variations of laws banning smoking in certain places.
Proposition 188 seeks to abolish all of them and institute one
uniform statewide law.
Let me first point out that ANY law restricting freedom is
onerous. The only merit to Proposition 188 is that it will
replace many severely restrictive laws and its greatest demerit
is that it will impose restrictions where there are no
restrictions. Overall it is no different in spirit or temperament
than the local ordinances.
Proposition 188 is a primary example of the reason why there
should NEVER be compromise with those who would take away
liberty. Compromise always gives up some degree of liberty. One
should never compromise with evil.
What is interesting to consider is the overall basis that
supports anti-smoking laws. The people who support these laws
were against smoking from the day they first formed an opinion on
the subject. That they have jumped on to statistically
insignificant studies of harm to non-smokers has no bearing.
Scratch an anti-smoking advocate spouting statistics and you will
find their true intellectual depth extends to whining, “it
stinks.”
Were that not enough, they are not content to simply avoid
it themselves. Rather they are intent upon saving everyone else
from this fate worse than death, that is, the smell. The ballot
box, membership in a congregation or something else voluntary is
the only justification one person can use to speak for any other
much less a group of others. Yet these folks are more than happy
to speak for all non-smokers as they had power of attorney from
all of them.
Also they appear to get some kind of thrill by imagining
they are in the majority and championing the rights of the
majority. They get this fantasy by seeing smokers are in the
minority and pretending all non-smokers are as rabidly and
irrationally anti-smoking as they. They fail to note the vast
majority of non-smokers who are in the “don’t care” category.
That category is the largest of them all outnumbering both
smokers and non-smokers.
They invent their arguments as they go along and have
little interest in reason. For example, in their pompous
assumption they can speak for others they plead for the trivial
minority with true allergies to tobacco smoke while ignoring its
true rarity (as opposed to who start coughing at the sight of an
unlit cigarette.) They hold smoking at work bars them from jobs.
Strangely they are silent about the 100 times more common
people with back problems who are in pain when standing and never
demand jobs that require standing be banned. That would of
course be a rational position but they are not interested in a
rational position. “EET STEENKS!”
There is a character in the national psyche known as Miss
Grundy a name given by the late Robert A. Heinlein. This is a
person whose entire mission in life is to save others from
themselves. Her one talent is rallying her fellow Miss Grundys
to noble causes.
She lead the good fight for temperance, against alcohol and
is always in the forefront of protecting community standards.
She is characterized by being an old maid (matrimonially
challenged) and having nothing better to do with her life than
meddle in the lives of others. Today here crusade is against
smoking.
Miss Grundy would have us believe that were it not for
smoking we would live forever. Of course she will deny that but
you will never get her to talk in terms of shortened life span.
She insists upon talking in terms of deaths due to smoking.
She works to protect the “don’t care” non-smokers from
smokers. That they do not want her protection is of no interest
to her as it is in their own good.
She wants to make smoking as difficult as possible for
smokers so that they will quit and she no longer has to work so
hard at imagining the smell of tobacco under her bed or in her
closet every night. Miss Grundy is not concerned that smokers do
not care about the risks of smoking. She knows she has to act
for their own good.
Scratch Miss Grundy and she will tell you it stinks. Ask
why she can not stand the sight of a smoker one hundred feet away
and she will tell you it stinks. Ask why no one should smoke
around the “don’t cares” and she will tell you it makes them
stink.
Miss Grundy also bathes six times a day and buys FDS by the
case.
It is a bit of a digression to note that the most primitive
and mindless hatreds are smell related. Note the “smell alcohol
on his breath” references starting fights when there is no other
sign of intoxication. There is an almost unique American
obsession with smells. It appears to drive some of us into
irrational behavior.
But to Miss Grundy her personal dislikes are automatically
wrong, evil, immoral and, if she not fat, fattening. If she is
fat she will ignore the last. The national fetish with health
only encourages her. The most popular jogging guru in the
country drops dead of a heart attack while jogging and joggers
work to double their distance.
She has an implicit belief that if all forms of unhealthy
behavior are avoided there she will live forever. She wishes to
give that gift to everyone. And beside, it stinks.
Here is a true story of two friends of mine, a smoker and an
ex-smoker. They were also friends and co-workers of each other.
The ex-smoker kept trying to get the smoker to quit so he would
live longer. The smoker kept responding, “if I were hit by a
speeding truck and died tomorrow think of the enjoyment I would
lose.” Today the smoker is still alive. The ex-smoker died of
being hit by a speeding truck.
In the words of Jimmy Carter, “Life isn’t fair.”
Thus there are three factors at work here. At the highest
level we have the intrusion on individual liberty by activists.
Next we have the activists themselves who are mildly deranged by
smell and an absence of a real life of their own. And finally a
childlike belief in avoiding “bad” things there will be a reward
of more life.
I have to agree with Jimmy Carter on the subject, life is
not fair. If all tobacco could be magically eliminated from the
world tomorrow it would not take Miss Grundy more than a week to
find another cause to intrude upon out liberties. That is the
way of the beast and its number is the aucht and dreizehn Sturm
Soldaten.

My response to a creative statistician follows.
=====
I have this crystal of table salt. It probably has
around a trillion sodium chloride molecules in it. Two
molecules had to come together in exactly the right way to
start the process. Each succeeding molecule had to get into
exactly the right place and in the right orientation.
Considering this simple molecule there are only two
possible orientations so the odds against this crystal of
salt forming are two to the one trillionth power or
2^1,000,000,000,000. As this number far dwarfs your
10^40,000 it clears shows
1) God designs every grain of salt
2) life by natural processes is 20,000,000 times more
likely than a grain of salt by natural processes
3) you may be willing to admit statistics does not
apply in the first place.
But then if you really want to talk about chance, the human
generation has been about 20 years until the last century. Five
generations per century, sixty centuries lead to 300 generations.
In each ejaculation there are some 10,000,000 sperm. One
one makes each succeeding generation. The chance that you exist
from your grandfather, only two generations is 10,000,000 *
10,000,000.
The chances that you exist from the beginning of recorded
history ONLY (or from 4004 BC which you prefer to believe) is
10,000,000 to the 300th power. Roughly 10 to the 2099 power.
which means you are too improbable to exist and therefore you do
not exist.

Not surprising. I have noticed that being a general rule as

When above that threshold it means only spending extra range
time to get over flinching. And as I have pointed out reaction
to recoil has a lot more to do with it than body weight.

Subj : The Great Ark Hoax (1)
An (est.) 20 million people saw the CBS special presentation on
Noah’s Ark. The program was presented as if it had a bases in
reality. The reality is – it was a hoax. The fundamentalist
religious propaganda machine leapt on the chance to make a
scientific sounding presentation of its religious dogma. Many
people were fooled by this pseudoscientific TV film into
believing that there is evidence for the Biblical mythology of
Noah and his Ark. All such `evidence’ has been, without
exception, wrong or as in this case proven to be a hoax.
Sheppard Gordon posted the following on the Odyssey Fringe
Science Research Echo about the hoax.
{Start}
10/30/93
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
The man who said he discovered the snow-covered location of
Noah’s Ark high on Mt. Ararat in Turkey, and who displayed what
he claimed to be an ancient piece of wood from inside the ark as
proof on a CBS special earlier this year, now says it was a hoax.
George Jammal, an out-of-work Israeli actor living in North Long
Beach, admitted in an interview this week that he made up the
story to expose those who produce and broadcast what he considers
to be poorly researched religious propaganda.
Presented with this information by The Times, CBS decided Friday
to scrap two projects that were in development with Sun
International Pictures, the Salt Lake City-based production
company that made “The Incredible Discovery of Noah’s Ark,” which
CBS broadcast in February to an estimated 20 million viewers.
Part of the network’s decision not to move ahead with the Sun
programs “Revelations” and “The UFO Phenomenon” stemmed from the
tactics Sun used several months ago to try to pry a confession
from Jammal, including threats that CBS was going to sue
him-which the network adamantly denies.
“All of this has clearly made us reexamine our business
relationship with Sun, and we won’t be going forward with those
projects,” network spokeswoman Susan Tick said Friday. But
“Mysteries of the Ancient World,” another program from Sun
examining such phenomena as the Sphinx, Nostradamus, the Bermuda
Triangle and the Shroud of Turin, has essentially been completed
and will air on CBS. That program has been carefully reviewed for
accuracy by the network’s legal department and program practices
department, Tick said.
“Incredible Discovery” came under strong criticism because its
case for the existence of Noah’s Ark, as described in the Bible,
was said to be based heavily on the views of creationists who
oppose the scientific theory of evolution.
“We’re a motion-picture producer, and we don’t take a point of
view, creationist or otherwise,” countered Sun President Allan
Pedersen.
Asked if Sun planned to revise its research techniques to prevent
similar hoaxes, Pedersen said that such safety measures have
always been in place.
“We certainly will be as conscientious as we can and scrutinize
sources as closely as we can in the future,” he said. “But
frankly, we took the same due diligence before all this. My
stance is that it’s just about impossible to defend against that
kind of well-planned and well-thought-out deception.”
From Jammal’s perspective, the deception was painfully obvious.
The “sacred wood” from the ark was actually from some railroad
tracks in Long Beach, he said, and he has never set foot in
Turkey. “This is a scam that has been pulled on the American
public, and it’s gone too far,” Jammal explained from his
three-bedroom home this week, holding the scrap of wood that he
hardened by cooking it in an oven. Referring to Sun and CBS, he
said, “They’re foisting religious propaganda on Americans and
making them believe it’s true. So I hoaxed the hoaxters.”
CBS does not plan to run an on-air correction. “A, there’s no
format to do it, and B, it’s just going to attract more attention
to this,” Tick said. “Plus, the show never purported the wood was
from the ark, only that this person on the show said it was.”
* When national news reports first surfaced in June that Jammal
might have been lying, Sun stood firmly behind Jammal, who held
to his story. Jammal’s original plan to reveal the stunt in his
own time was ruined when a friend of his who was in on the
hoax-Gerald Larue, a USC professor emeritus of biblical history
and archeology-began talking to the press.
Sun producers called Larue the hoaxter, retained a lawyer for
Jammal, presented an eight-page defense to CBS and wrote letters
to Time Magazine, The Times and others to defend their
production. CBS, in turn, launched its own internal
investigation.
Now, even Sun admits it was wrong. “We were obviously duped, and
all I can do is admit to that,” Pedersen said. “We’ll take the
portion that concerned him out of the picture for any future
airings.” That won’t be on CBS, though, which will not repeat the
program.
Jammal contends that Sun knew all along he was an impostor. After
“Incredible Discovery” was broadcast, numerous scholars and
critics of creation science, including Larue, wrote to CBS and
Sun insisting that the show was bunk.
“This was a dishonest program,” Larue said. “Look at the very
title: `The Amazing Discovery of Noah’s Ark.’ They didn’t
discover it.”

Robert S. Dietz, a professor emeritus in geology at Arizona State
University, even asked Sun for Jammal’s piece of wood so he could
run a Carbon-14 test to determine its authenticity-something Sun
producers say they did not do, even though Jammal gave them a
small chip of the wood. Sun did not provide it to him, and Jammal
said that a Sun researcher told him not to show his wood to
Dietz. ” `Do not show him the wood,’ I was told,” Jammal said.
“Doesn’t that mean they know the wood is fake?”
The hoax actually started eight years ago when Jammal heard a
radio debate between a humanist scholar and the head of the
Institute for Creation Research in El Cajon, Calif. An atheist
who was raised by Catholic and Greek Orthodox parents, Jammal
concocted a story about how he visited the ark and then sent a
letter to the institute, riddled with inside jokes, to see if
anyone would believe him. For instance, his companion on the
trip, Vladimir Sobitchsky, was a play on “s.o.b.” Jammal also
sent a copy to the Pope.
“I gave them absurd names because I was laughing at their
absurdities,” Jammal said. “All this started as a practical joke,
to write a letter and see what their reaction was. I didn’t know
I would end up on film.”
In 1986, John Morris, a geologist and Mt. Ararat explorer
associated with the institute, interviewed Jammal, who had
studied in the local library on the people, customs and geography
of that area of Turkey.
“He wanted pictures, of course, so I made up the story about how
Vladimir died on the mountain, and the camera went down with
him,” he said.
That interview, which included hand-drawn maps by Jammal, was
filed and almost forgotten-until 1992, when Sun contacted the
institute looking for people who had firsthand knowledge of
Noah’s Ark.
For the Sun interview, Jammal carefully studied the 1986
transcript. He also prepared the fake wood-a piece of California
pine-by frying it on his kitchen stove in a bizarre mix of
blueberry and almond wine, iodine, sweet-and-sour barbecue sauce
and teriyaki sauce. He even made a home video of himself cooking
it up.
Jammal resisted admitting the hoax for a long time; he never
returned the calls of CBS attorneys. Nor did he cave in when a
Sun representative kept calling him in June and July, leaving
intimidating messages on his answering machine. One message said:
“There’s talk of a serious lawsuit against you, George, and I
don’t want to see that happen, because the resources of CBS would
just wipe you out.”
“We never considered a lawsuit,” network spokeswoman Tick said
Friday.
So why did Jammal finally fess up, after all this time? “When I
heard that CBS was going forward with more phony, religious,
documentary, pseudoscience programs, that’s when my volcano
erupted,” Jammal said.
When told Friday that his tactics budged the CBS network, he let
out a belly laugh. “Prof. Larue and many other scholars wrote
letters of protest and nobody listened,” he said. “Well, now
they’re listening and they’re talking. I feel I made a
difference.”
Will CBS Realize the Error of Its Ways? The network finally
admits `The Incredible Discovery of Noah’s Ark,’ was flawed but
does more harm to its credibility by refusing to run a
correction.
11/01/93
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
Hear a whooshing sound? It’s the credibility of CBS falling like
a brick hurled from the top of its Black Rock headquarters in New
York.
Bulletin! Bulletin!
* George Jammal did not, as he had claimed, visit Turkey’s snowy
Mt. Ararat.
* Thus, the hunk of wood he displayed during a two-hour CBS
television program last February was not, as he had claimed, a
piece of the legendary Noah’s Ark.
* The wood was not, as he had claimed, a “gift from God.” CBS
finally acknowledged to Times reporter Daniel Cerone on Friday
that it had been duped. It did so only after Cerone had
confronted the network with Jammal’s admission that the story he
told on a CBS prime-time documentary-style special, “The
Incredible Discovery of Noah’s Ark,” was itself an incredible
hoax.
* Yet no more incredible than the behavior of CBS through all of
this. After appearing to stonewall this months-old controversy
almost since its inception, the network told Cerone that it had
no plans to inform its viewers (“The Incredible Discovery of
Noah’s Ark” drew an estimated audience of 20 million) that at
least some of what the independently produced program presented
as truth was untrue.
No on-the-air correction? CBS, whose own storied history
encompasses the history of U.S. television itself? Where is its
sense of fairness? Where is its integrity? C’mon, now, just a
teeny, weeny correction.
“A, there’s no format to do it, and B, it’s just going to attract
more attention to this,” CBS spokeswoman Susan Tick told Cerone.
And C, she added, “the show never purported the wood was from the
ark, only that this person on the show said it was.” Come again?
* A. No format for a correction? Let’s see now, “CBS This
Morning” has no trouble finding time to relentlessly plug the
network’s entertainment programs. Surely, it could find time to
correct just one.
There’s also “Late Show With David Letterman,” where CBS
performers regularly turn up to advertise their shows on the
network. You can bet that good old Dave would love to spend a few
seconds setting the record straight on Noah’s Ark.
What’s more, there’s always “The CBS Evening News.” Dan Rather
recently made a speech in which he savaged non-news reality
programs run by networks. He included the Noah’s Ark special
without naming CBS as the offending network.
* So why not put the correction on Rather’s newscast? He loves a
good story. And a major television network getting hoaxed by a
man passing off some railroad timber (that’s what Jammal now says
it was) as a piece of Noah’s Ark is a great story.
* B. It would just attract more attention? Well, shouldn’t that
be the idea, to make sure no one is misled by misinformation
appearing under the CBS banner?
* C. The show didn’t purport the wood was from the ark? If so,
why wasn’t its title “The Alleged Incredible Discovery of Noah’s
Ark”?

Subject: Flood / Noah’s Ark – 3
Flashback: It was eight months ago that CBS aired “The Incredible
Discovery of Noah’s Ark,” which looked like and pretended to be a
documentary, even if CBS now says it wasn’t. Produced by Sun
International Pictures of Utah, it was immediately accused by
some scholars of being a sham. CBS apparently wasn’t listening.
It was four months ago that Time magazine published an article
disclosing that much of the program-which used testimony from
“expert” witnesses to buttress the creationist theory that Noah’s
Ark existed-was untrue. Within two weeks, the Time article was
followed by others from the Associated Press and the Los Angeles
Times that also questioned the validity of portions of the
program. Time, the AP and The Times quoted Gerald Larue, a USC
professor emeritus of biblical history and archeology, as saying
he had coached Jammal on how to fool the producers into believing
that he had really returned from Mt. Ararat with a piece of
Noah’s Ark. The purpose, Larue said, was to expose the “sloppy
research” of Sun International Pictures, whose previous
documentary-style programs were also accused by some specialists
of being substantially false. After months of defending Jammal,
who did not speak out publicly until recently, Sun now says it
was, indeed, fooled by him. It’s “impossible to defend against
that kind of well-planned and well-thought-out deception,” said
Sun President Allan Pederson. Oh, stop it. One way to do it is to
have these alleged artifacts examined by real authorities.
Suspiciously, Sun did not even bother to verify the authenticity
of Jammal’s wood by having it tested by experts. And the brain
trust at CBS never bothered to ask for verification of the wood.
To say nothing of closely examining other components of this
fishy-looking program that many viewers probably thought came
from the network’s news division.
In an ideal world, it would be CBS News, not some cockamamie
outside production company, that would be getting two hours of
prime time for a documentary. But the world ceased being ideal a
long time ago.
* So, despite getting stung by Jammal the Impostor, CBS is not
immediately severing its relationship with Sun. Although CBS says
it will not air two previously planned Sun programs,
“Revelations” and “The UFO Confessions,” it will telecast a
near-completed third Sun production, “Mysteries of the Ancient
World.”
The program covers such phenomena as the Sphinx, Nostradamus, the
Bermuda Triangle and the Shroud of Turin.
Not to worry, though, says spokeswoman Tick, because CBS has
checked it for accuracy. So listen up, you would-be hoaxers,
you’re not dealing with Beavis and Butt-head here.
However, if anyone happens to come across Atlantis, the CBS
number is. . . .

Subject: Vital National Interest
Vital National Interest In Oil
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/22>
Back during the preparations for the Gulf War I wrote on
this subject but I did not give it wide distribution. As the
same issues are being raised again it is time to make the case
more clearly and correct the distribution problem.
If you have been following what I have been writing on the
Federal Reserve you have an idea as to the problem with
determining a value for paper currency. I have pointed out the
problem with using gold or other commodities to back dollars is
that the value of the currency is controlled by the value of the
commodity used to back the currency.
Our vital national interest in the Middle East was not
created by us. It was created by OPEC. Back when OPEC was
founded over 20 years ago it determined one of the fundamental
principles of US foreign policy. It pegged the price of oil in
US dollars.
That does not mean it will take the Franc or Mark or Yen
equivalent of US dollars. That means it wants US dollars. That
means all of its customers must have US dollars to pay for oil.
Japan dumps its products in the US in order the get dollars
for oil, not to put US companies out of business although that is
often necessary to get enough dollars. It is the same for other
countries. These dollars float around the world in a complex set
of loans and counter loans in an inverted pyramid. If you were
to take one dollar from the bottom you will lose ten dollars from
the top.
Now for the problem of the dollar. Technically it is a
floating currency, its price determined by what other’s will pay
for dollars in other currencies. In practice it is backed by
oil.
Oil is as good as any other backing for the dollar save for
one thing, the reserves are readily established and it is
consumed. Even the US has not stockpiled oil according to a
twenty year old plan. There is no equivalent of Ft. Knox in the
world.
Thus there is no store of wealth in the world. at this time.
There is only control of the production rate to determine the
value of the dollar and, by that inverted pyramid, the stability
of the world’s monetary system.
From there arises our interest in the availability of oil.
If oil is scarce the value of dollars increases, if plentiful it
decreases. The world’s interest in the value of the dollar is
the same as ours. Our interest is strictly in the rate of
production of oil worldwide.
There are many ways to control the production of oil. The
first is the easiest, let there be a free market in energy and
energy utilization means. At first Iran and then with the
emergence of OPEC, lead by Venezuela of all countries, the
producing countries attempted to raise prices beyond a true
production cost and reasonable profit. That resulted in
worldwide inflation and major conservation measures until OPEC
was earning little more than before they raised prices.
Next they hired a few intelligent economists and learned to
set the price of oil as a “fair” price. That price was always a
touch above where it should be as hope springs eternal to make a
killing in the market. That should have resulted in world wide
inflation lead by OPEC.
That is where primarily Kuwait came in. Kuwait cheated.
It over produced. It kept the price of oil where it belonged
rather than the little bit above where OPEC pegged it.
That is what lead to the primary complaint of Iraq against
Kuwait, that Kuwait was over producing. Had Iraq kept Kuwait
then OPEC would have controlled, as a minimum, the inflation rate
of effectively all the money in the world. That is a degree of
sovereignty the big players in the money markets were willing to
give up.
You can tell the big players as those who contributed to
paying the costs of the Persian Gulf war as opposed to those who
had to bribed into supporting the war.
The next way to keep OPEC reasonable is to assure there are
always Kuwaits, that there is effectively a competitive market.
To do this it is necessary to keep any one member from
controlling too large a share of oil production much like the
anti-trust laws of the US to prevent monopolies. In fact the
West has gone so far as to object to the Middle East having a
large enough refinery capability to be able to ship a finished
product only thus preventing the economic power of vertical
integration.
Thus the invasion of Kuwait eliminated the largest
production cheat in the world guaranteeing an OPEC controlled,
worldwide inflation rate. It also gave Iraq too great a share of
world wide production and also put Iraq in the position to take
over Saudi Arabia and give Iraq a stranglehold on the world’s
financial markets.
Back to the inverted pyramid. Increase oil production
sufficient to decrease the value of the dollar 1% and it takes
away multiples of 1% of the value of every currency of every
currency in the world that matters. That means the value of
everything priced in those currencies would drop by that amount.
That might be well for the US overall as Japan would need
fewer dollars to buy oil. But consider were Iraq to decrease
production. In a single stroke Iraq could have started an oil
embargo that would have eclipsed the one Iran two decades ago.
From this came our vital national interests. The sentiment
during the Iran lead embargo was to nuke Iran. The public
outrage against Iran was much worse than against Iraq.
And thus our interest in liberating Kuwait; the stability
and reasonable control of the world monetary system.

Subject: The Haitian Threat to Nat
The Haitian Threat To National Security
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/22>
Lets consider for the moment that when President Clinton
said the situation in Haiti was a threat to the security of the
United States that he was not lying again. If it is the truth
just what could that threat be?
If one part of Haiti slaughtered the other half in very
nasty ways that would have no impact upon the security of the
United States. Human rights violations in Haiti do not impact the
security of the United States. The economic conditions in Haiti
have nothing to do with our national security. So there must be
some physical reason.
The only real, physical impact Haiti was having on the
United States was by means of its refugees. Refugees come here
and cost money. Preventing them from coming here costs money.
Housing them some place costs money. But there is a difference
in whose money.
Preventing them from coming and housing them some place else
costs the federal government money. Although that is our money
there has not been an organized or planned revolt against
spending that money. But when they actually arrive the cost is
state money. And there is at least one state that was prepared
for an armed confrontation to prevent being forced to incur those
costs.
That state is Florida. The Democratic governor Lawton
Chiles, when faced with thousands of Cubans was four hours away
from signing an executive order commanding every armed agency in
the state to surround the federal immigration buildings and
prevent Cubans from leaving the building. President Clinton
moved quickly to change the Cuban immigration policy by
preventing their entry into the country.
There have been only one such state — federal
confrontations in the history of the country. That was George
Wallace trying to enforce state segregation laws. Although
integration was far from popular at that time Wallace garnered no
allies in his actions.
However, immigration, legal or illegal, is a volatile issue
in at least three states. Florida took the lead in suing the
federal government to recover the cost of immigrants. It was
quickly joined by California and Texas.
Had Chiles gone through with the armed confrontation with
the Federal government it is quite likely that California and
Texas would have joined in. Certainly Republican Governor Pete
Wilson of California would have had little restrain his actions.
“Ma” Richards, even though a Democrat, would likely have seen the
election results on the wall and joined in as they joined in
filing their own lawsuits to recover costs. That Arizona and New
Mexico would have held failed to join the confrontation is
difficult to imagine.
And there is the national security interest of the United
states. At one time three of the four largest states in the
nation would have been in an armed confrontation with President
Clinton’s administration at the same time. That can easily be
construed as an insurrection while Governor Wallace was passed
off as an aberration and later as a minority political hero.
But in this case three of the top four most populous states
in the union having instigated an armed confrontation with the
government is something else entirely. Avoiding such a
confrontation is certainly in the security interests of the
Unites States.
Consider if President Clinton had not capitulated under
threat but had actually faced an armed confrontation. There
would have been two rather simple choices. Nationalize the
Florida National Guard and force the Cubans on the state or
capitulate.
The former would simply have put off the confrontation to
where it could not be done without great loss to the federal
government. If the federal government forced their entry into
the state then the state simply had to order their claims not be
processed. As guardsmen are not qualified to implement the
welfare regulations they at best could require everyone be
qualified as they could not judge unfair disqualification.
The latter to capitulate to an armed state would set a
president to terminate any federal policy or law the state does
not like. “We whipped them once, we can do it again.” It could
have lead to the dissolution of the union without the states
offering a physically united front and thus target as did the
Confederacy. Armed confrontation could have been applied to any
point of disagreement.
The third possibility, that it might have lead to a
revitalization of the 9th and 10th amendments is the best thing
that could have happened and would perhaps have been the best for
all of us but that would have been rather remote had it started
with an armed confrontation.
In any event, there you have the only possible reason Haiti
could have been a threat to the security of the United States,
that Haitian immigration would have lead to an armed
confrontation between the states and the federal government. On
the other hand, President Clinton could have been lying again.
Perhaps he was not.

You should have read the testimony of the prosecution

I have this crystal of table salt. It probably has

molecules had to come together in exactly the right way to
start the process. Each succeeding molecule had to get into
exactly the right place and in the right orientation.
Considering this simple molecule there are only two
possible orientations so the odds against this crystal of
salt forming are two to the one trillionth power or
2^1,000,000,000,000. As this number far dwarfs your

1) God designs every grain of salt
2) life by natural processes is 20,000,000 times more
likely than a grain of salt by natural processes
3) you may be willing to admit statistics does not
apply in the first place.
But then if you really want to talk about chance, the human
generation has been about 20 years until the last century. Five
generations per century, sixty centuries lead to 300 generations.
In each ejaculation there are some 10,000,000 sperm. One
one makes each succeeding generation. The chance that you exist
from your grandfather, only two generations is 10,000,000 *

The chances that you exist from the beginning of recorded
history ONLY (or from 4004 BC which you prefer to believe) is
10,000,000 to the 300th power. Roughly 10 to the 2099 power.
which means you are too improbable to exist and therefore you do
not exist.

Subject: The Haitian Threat to Nat
The Haitian Threat To National Security
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/22>
Lets consider for the moment that when President Clinton
said the situation in Haiti was a threat to the security of the
United States that he was not lying again. If it is the truth
just what could that threat be?
If one part of Haiti slaughtered the other half in very
nasty ways that would have no impact upon the security of the
United States. Human rights violations in Haiti do not impact the
security of the United States. The economic conditions in Haiti
have nothing to do with our national security. So there must be
some physical reason.
The only real, physical impact Haiti was having on the
United States was by means of its refugees. Refugees come here
and cost money. Preventing them from coming here costs money.
Housing them some place costs money. But there is a difference
in whose money.
Preventing them from coming and housing them some place else
costs the federal government money. Although that is our money
there has not been an organized or planned revolt against
spending that money. But when they actually arrive the cost is
state money. And there is at least one state that was prepared
for an armed confrontation to prevent being forced to incur those
costs.
That state is Florida. The Democratic governor Lawton
Chiles, when faced with thousands of Cubans was four hours away
from signing an executive order commanding every armed agency in
the state to surround the federal immigration buildings and
prevent Cubans from leaving the building. President Clinton
moved quickly to change the Cuban immigration policy by
preventing their entry into the country.
There have been only one such state — federal
confrontations in the history of the country. That was George
Wallace trying to enforce state segregation laws. Although
integration was far from popular at that time Wallace garnered no
allies in his actions.
However, immigration, legal or illegal, is a volatile issue
in at least three states. Florida took the lead in suing the
federal government to recover the cost of immigrants. It was
quickly joined by California and Texas.
Had Chiles gone through with the armed confrontation with
the Federal government it is quite likely that California and
Texas would have joined in. Certainly Republican Governor Pete
Wilson of California would have had little restrain his actions.
“Ma” Richards, even though a Democrat, would likely have seen the
election results on the wall and joined in as they joined in
filing their own lawsuits to recover costs. That Arizona and New
Mexico would have held failed to join the confrontation is
difficult to imagine.
And there is the national security interest of the United
states. At one time three of the four largest states in the
nation would have been in an armed confrontation with President
Clinton’s administration at the same time. That can easily be
construed as an insurrection while Governor Wallace was passed
off as an aberration and later as a minority political hero.
But in this case three of the top four most populous states
in the union having instigated an armed confrontation with the
government is something else entirely. Avoiding such a
confrontation is certainly in the security interests of the
Unites States.
Consider if President Clinton had not capitulated under
threat but had actually faced an armed confrontation. There
would have been two rather simple choices. Nationalize the
Florida National Guard and force the Cubans on the state or
capitulate.
The former would simply have put off the confrontation to
where it could not be done without great loss to the federal
government. If the federal government forced their entry into
the state then the state simply had to order their claims not be
processed. As guardsmen are not qualified to implement the
welfare regulations they at best could require everyone be
qualified as they could not judge unfair disqualification.
The latter to capitulate to an armed state would set a
president to terminate any federal policy or law the state does
not like. “We whipped them once, we can do it again.” It could
have lead to the dissolution of the union without the states
offering a physically united front and thus target as did the
Confederacy. Armed confrontation could have been applied to any
point of disagreement.
The third possibility, that it might have lead to a
revitalization of the 9th and 10th amendments is the best thing
that could have happened and would perhaps have been the best for
all of us but that would have been rather remote had it started
with an armed confrontation.
In any event, there you have the only possible reason Haiti
could have been a threat to the security of the United States,
that Haitian immigration would have lead to an armed
confrontation between the states and the federal government. On
the other hand, President Clinton could have been lying again.
Perhaps he was not.

Subject: Vital National Interest
Vital National Interest In Oil
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/22>
Back during the preparations for the Gulf War I wrote on
this subject but I did not give it wide distribution. As the
same issues are being raised again it is time to make the case
more clearly and correct the distribution problem.
If you have been following what I have been writing on the
Federal Reserve you have an idea as to the problem with
determining a value for paper currency. I have pointed out the
problem with using gold or other commodities to back dollars is
that the value of the currency is controlled by the value of the
commodity used to back the currency.
Our vital national interest in the Middle East was not
created by us. It was created by OPEC. Back when OPEC was
founded over 20 years ago it determined one of the fundamental
principles of US foreign policy. It pegged the price of oil in
US dollars.
That does not mean it will take the Franc or Mark or Yen
equivalent of US dollars. That means it wants US dollars. That
means all of its customers must have US dollars to pay for oil.
Japan dumps its products in the US in order the get dollars
for oil, not to put US companies out of business although that is
often necessary to get enough dollars. It is the same for other
countries. These dollars float around the world in a complex set
of loans and counter loans in an inverted pyramid. If you were
to take one dollar from the bottom you will lose ten dollars from
the top.
Now for the problem of the dollar. Technically it is a
floating currency, its price determined by what other’s will pay
for dollars in other currencies. In practice it is backed by
oil.
Oil is as good as any other backing for the dollar save for
one thing, the reserves are readily established and it is
consumed. Even the US has not stockpiled oil according to a
twenty year old plan. There is no equivalent of Ft. Knox in the
world.
Thus there is no store of wealth in the world. at this time.
There is only control of the production rate to determine the
value of the dollar and, by that inverted pyramid, the stability
of the world’s monetary system.
From there arises our interest in the availability of oil.
If oil is scarce the value of dollars increases, if plentiful it
decreases. The world’s interest in the value of the dollar is
the same as ours. Our interest is strictly in the rate of
production of oil worldwide.
There are many ways to control the production of oil. The
first is the easiest, let there be a free market in energy and
energy utilization means. At first Iran and then with the
emergence of OPEC, lead by Venezuela of all countries, the
producing countries attempted to raise prices beyond a true
production cost and reasonable profit. That resulted in
worldwide inflation and major conservation measures until OPEC
was earning little more than before they raised prices.
Next they hired a few intelligent economists and learned to
set the price of oil as a “fair” price. That price was always a
touch above where it should be as hope springs eternal to make a
killing in the market. That should have resulted in world wide
inflation lead by OPEC.
That is where primarily Kuwait came in. Kuwait cheated.
It over produced. It kept the price of oil where it belonged
rather than the little bit above where OPEC pegged it.
That is what lead to the primary complaint of Iraq against
Kuwait, that Kuwait was over producing. Had Iraq kept Kuwait
then OPEC would have controlled, as a minimum, the inflation rate
of effectively all the money in the world. That is a degree of
sovereignty the big players in the money markets were willing to
give up.
You can tell the big players as those who contributed to
paying the costs of the Persian Gulf war as opposed to those who
had to bribed into supporting the war.
The next way to keep OPEC reasonable is to assure there are
always Kuwaits, that there is effectively a competitive market.
To do this it is necessary to keep any one member from
controlling too large a share of oil production much like the
anti-trust laws of the US to prevent monopolies. In fact the
West has gone so far as to object to the Middle East having a
large enough refinery capability to be able to ship a finished
product only thus preventing the economic power of vertical
integration.
Thus the invasion of Kuwait eliminated the largest
production cheat in the world guaranteeing an OPEC controlled,
worldwide inflation rate. It also gave Iraq too great a share of
world wide production and also put Iraq in the position to take
over Saudi Arabia and give Iraq a stranglehold on the world’s
financial markets.
Back to the inverted pyramid. Increase oil production
sufficient to decrease the value of the dollar 1% and it takes
away multiples of 1% of the value of every currency of every
currency in the world that matters. That means the value of
everything priced in those currencies would drop by that amount.
That might be well for the US overall as Japan would need
fewer dollars to buy oil. But consider were Iraq to decrease
production. In a single stroke Iraq could have started an oil
embargo that would have eclipsed the one Iran two decades ago.
From this came our vital national interests. The sentiment
during the Iran lead embargo was to nuke Iran. The public
outrage against Iran was much worse than against Iraq.
And thus our interest in liberating Kuwait; the stability
and reasonable control of the world monetary system.

We all know that the life of the soul begins at conception and that the
souls of innocent murdered unborn babies go straight to heaven without
having to risk eternal damnation like the unlucky born ones must. Sort of
makes you wonder why abortion isn’t a sacrament, doesn’t it? Because the
saving of souls seems to be a priority among Christian believers, there
ought to be an opportunity for profit in this.
Here at El Cheapo (TM) Salvation, Inc., we have plans to convert an
abandonned fish hatchery into a $25 million in-vitro fertilization facility
capable of producing upwards of 50 billion human zygotes a day. These will
be promptly dumped, or used to water the plant landscaping, thereby sending
50 billion human souls per day into eternal happiness in heaven (our
theological legal advisors have warned us that this procedure constitutes
mortal sin for the operators and investors of the plant, but we’re all
counting rather heavily on deathbed confessions).
The potential profitability is enormous. Imagine full-page ads running
continually in all of the national tabloids and religious magazines: “For
only $19.95, you, too, can sponsor the salvation of 10,000 souls, just send
your check or money order to…”
Investors are needed now to cover startup costs. Now is the time to get in

Subject: Vital National Interest
Vital National Interest In Oil
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <9/22>
Back during the preparations for the Gulf War I wrote on
this subject but I did not give it wide distribution. As the
same issues are being raised again it is time to make the case
more clearly and correct the distribution problem.
If you have been following what I have been writing on the
Federal Reserve you have an idea as to the problem with
determining a value for paper currency. I have pointed out the
problem with using gold or other commodities to back dollars is
that the value of the currency is controlled by the value of the
commodity used to back the currency.
Our vital national interest in the Middle East was not
created by us. It was created by OPEC. Back when OPEC was
founded over 20 years ago it determined one of the fundamental
principles of US foreign policy. It pegged the price of oil in
US dollars.
That does not mean it will take the Franc or Mark or Yen
equivalent of US dollars. That means it wants US dollars. That
means all of its customers must have US dollars to pay for oil.
Japan dumps its products in the US in order the get dollars
for oil, not to put US companies out of business although that is
often necessary to get enough dollars. It is the same for other
countries. These dollars float around the world in a complex set
of loans and counter loans in an inverted pyramid. If you were
to take one dollar from the bottom you will lose ten dollars from
the top.
Now for the problem of the dollar. Technically it is a
floating currency, its price determined by what other’s will pay
for dollars in other currencies. In practice it is backed by
oil.
Oil is as good as any other backing for the dollar save for
one thing, the reserves are readily established and it is
consumed. Even the US has not stockpiled oil according to a
twenty year old plan. There is no equivalent of Ft. Knox in the
world.
Thus there is no store of wealth in the world. at this time.
There is only control of the production rate to determine the
value of the dollar and, by that inverted pyramid, the stability
of the world’s monetary system.
From there arises our interest in the availability of oil.
If oil is scarce the value of dollars increases, if plentiful it
decreases. The world’s interest in the value of the dollar is
the same as ours. Our interest is strictly in the rate of
production of oil worldwide.
There are many ways to control the production of oil. The
first is the easiest, let there be a free market in energy and
energy utilization means. At first Iran and then with the
emergence of OPEC, lead by Venezuela of all countries, the
producing countries attempted to raise prices beyond a true
production cost and reasonable profit. That resulted in
worldwide inflation and major conservation measures until OPEC
was earning little more than before they raised prices.
Next they hired a few intelligent economists and learned to
set the price of oil as a “fair” price. That price was always a
touch above where it should be as hope springs eternal to make a
killing in the market. That should have resulted in world wide
inflation lead by OPEC.
That is where primarily Kuwait came in. Kuwait cheated.
It over produced. It kept the price of oil where it belonged
rather than the little bit above where OPEC pegged it.
That is what lead to the primary complaint of Iraq against
Kuwait, that Kuwait was over producing. Had Iraq kept Kuwait
then OPEC would have controlled, as a minimum, the inflation rate
of effectively all the money in the world. That is a degree of
sovereignty the big players in the money markets were willing to
give up.
You can tell the big players as those who contributed to
paying the costs of the Persian Gulf war as opposed to those who
had to bribed into supporting the war.
The next way to keep OPEC reasonable is to assure there are
always Kuwaits, that there is effectively a competitive market.
To do this it is necessary to keep any one member from
controlling too large a share of oil production much like the
anti-trust laws of the US to prevent monopolies. In fact the
West has gone so far as to object to the Middle East having a
large enough refinery capability to be able to ship a finished
product only thus preventing the economic power of vertical
integration.
Thus the invasion of Kuwait eliminated the largest
production cheat in the world guaranteeing an OPEC controlled,
worldwide inflation rate. It also gave Iraq too great a share of
world wide production and also put Iraq in the position to take
over Saudi Arabia and give Iraq a stranglehold on the world’s
financial markets.
Back to the inverted pyramid. Increase oil production
sufficient to decrease the value of the dollar 1% and it takes
away multiples of 1% of the value of every currency of every
currency in the world that matters. That means the value of
everything priced in those currencies would drop by that amount.
That might be well for the US overall as Japan would need
fewer dollars to buy oil. But consider were Iraq to decrease
production. In a single stroke Iraq could have started an oil
embargo that would have eclipsed the one Iran two decades ago.
From this came our vital national interests. The sentiment
during the Iran lead embargo was to nuke Iran. The public
outrage against Iran was much worse than against Iraq.
And thus our interest in liberating Kuwait; the stability
and reasonable control of the world monetary system.

We all know that the life of the soul begins at conception and that the
souls of innocent murdered unborn babies go straight to heaven without
having to risk eternal damnation like the unlucky born ones must. Sort of
makes you wonder why abortion isn’t a sacrament, doesn’t it? Because the
saving of souls seems to be a priority among Christian believers, there
ought to be an opportunity for profit in this.
Here at El Cheapo (TM) Salvation, Inc., we have plans to convert an
abandonned fish hatchery into a $25 million in-vitro fertilization facility
capable of producing upwards of 50 billion human zygotes a day. These will
be promptly dumped, or used to water the plant landscaping, thereby sending
50 billion human souls per day into eternal happiness in heaven (our
theological legal advisors have warned us that this procedure constitutes
mortal sin for the operators and investors of the plant, but we’re all
counting rather heavily on deathbed confessions).
The potential profitability is enormous. Imagine full-page ads running
continually in all of the national tabloids and religious magazines: “For
only $19.95, you, too, can sponsor the salvation of 10,000 souls, just send

How to Tell the Big Lie
by
Matt Giwer
copyright 1993
We might as well learn something from the Branch Davidian episode
regarding people and the press and the government.
The incident first came to light with the headlines of four BATF
people killed serving a search warrant. It took some time before
people were noting the warrant was served with a hand grenade thrown
through a window.
The government originally told us they were fired on by a .50
caliber machinegun, we now know there was none.
The government originally told us they tried to arrange a cease
fire, we now know they refused to answer their radio and continued
firing for an hour and that the Branch Davidians were the first to
attempt to obtain a cease fire.
The government originally predicted a quick ending after a radio
broadcast and after they announced he had agreed. He apparently did
not agree or did not trust them or whatever, we may never know.
About a week passed before it became a topic of interest to the
media rather interestingly also in that when the media became bored
and were giving it minimum coverage there was the final assault.
The media responded with a bare minimum of facts and a lot of
imagery to fill in the air time. In a search for material the term
cult was used to suggest sinister things and make references to the
Jamestown mass suicide.
Example. Prime Time Live on 18 March 93 ran the same BATF
footage at least three times while talking about subjects that only
matched up in the words and not the actions. They ran interviews with
ex-members who frankly had very little damaging to say.
The government was actually the organization feeding this
hysterical misrepresentation of events.
Example. The gov sent in their hostage team for the only reason
I can see as the nearest equivalent they had. The government then
referred to people as “being released” rather than “deciding to leave.”
Since then I have read here allegations the children were begin held
hostage and that husbands were holding their wives hostage at gun
point. Where did this come from?
People took the lead and began talking on their own.
Example. Noting there has been no public statement by Koresh
since the Wendsday after the start, people here are talking about
Koresh based upon the cult leader image not based upon Koresh. The
idea of cult conjured was of something evil and sinister ignoring the
literally hundreds of “cults” and “cult leaders” that have been named
since Jim Jones. We are heard people making claims as to his
motivations and those of his followers. We are heard regular insights
into the mind of Koresh. Statements are being made where no
supporting information exists.
There are many others.
Example. We read implicitely and explicitly that the BDs were
armed with the intention of insurrection and over throw of the
government when when no evidence of that ever had any such intention.
This made them the object of hate for those who fear revolution.
Example. We read the constant implication that the mere
possession of guns was a crime. The government from Clinton on down
has refused to identify which laws they were suspected of violating.
Example. We heard the constant use of the term “assault weapon”
which, under any definition used in common parlance in this country
are completely legal under Federal Law and under the laws of most
states including Texas. This made them an object of hate for those
who fear guns.
Example. We heard the ridiculously high figure of the Waco
operation costing one million dollars a day (which works to about one
thousand men per shift. Thus providing a crutch for those who put a
price tag on human life.
Example. We heard they were manufacturing methamphetamines
without the slightest evidence of it, connecting them with all the
evils of drugs. This made them an object of hate for those who fear
drugs.
Example. We heard “concerns” over child abuse of which there was
absolutely no evidence but that tear- and knee- jerking allegation has
been made over and over from the President on down without the
slighest reason to believe it. This made them the object of hate for
those who fear child abuse.
Example. We heard the Branch Davidians blamed for conditions
(lack of food, sanitation) that were caused by the government. This
made them the object of hate for those who fear child neglect.
Example. We heard the constant allegation of illegal weapons
without the slightest evidence of any illegal weapons existing and
have been treated to a display of burned, legal weapons by the
government. Again inspiring fear among those who fear guns.
Example. We heard them blamed for responding to a deadly
government attack with deadly force.
Example. We heard they shot people wanting to leave when there
are no signs of anyone having been shot to prevent leaving.
Example. They had enough rations to hold out for years; the
children were starving.
Example and perhaps the most onerous one. The Government accused
them of using the children as shields and then excused its final
attack with a concern for the condition under which the children were
living. The government was in fact using the concerns of the parents
for their children having to live under the conditions the government
imposed. Cold, callous, cruel use of children and their parents’
concern for them.
Here we have seven weeks, 51 days, of allegation and innuendo
none of which has substantiation and we have the majority of the
country agreeing with the government.
We had constant new rumors all of which were instigated by the
government.
Now watching carefully we have the anatomy of the Big Lie and it
is not what we sort of imagine it to be. It is not the repetition of
the same lie over and over in some clumsy manner. It is varying
statements and images around many existing themes.
It is not one huge lie but rather constant insinuation and half
statements letting people’s imagination fill in the missing parts.
It is not creating new lies but rather connecting the target with
what is already considered evil.
Confusion was first sown with conflicting statements, conflicting
only over which type of bad it was they were guilty of. Then the
imagery of terrorism, messiah, allusions to what others have done
started. (It is interesting to hear the government reassure everyone
over and over this was not a Jim Jones situation with no evidence
anyone had ever asked the question.)
What has happened is the imagination pump has been primed. In
absence of coherent information people are filling in the blanks with
what they believe to be parallel matters and attributing them to this
incident. There is nothing new about people filling in the blanks
when information is missing. It is the classic psych eval of “tell me
about the situation in this picture.”
If you ever need to start a big lie don’t ever get the idea you
need a mustache and ten thousand cheering listeners to do it. The
Koresh incident is a great blue print.
Is it any wonder the Jews were easy picking for the Nazis?

That is not reasonable without further explanation. He

That they called more than one hospital is new.

This is also new.
LG> 4. The BATF lied to Gov Richards by telling her
LG> that they had proof Koresh was dealing drugs at Mt

I had heard this was true for the tanks later but not in the

Actually the street dealers rarely make that kind of money.
They are more into it for flashing money. This came up in DC
when someone took the hourly earnings and multiplied by 2000
hours (40 a week * 50 weeks.) Then a sociologists followed it
and found they worked more like three or four hours a night.

That is a very old story. It is based upon their message

they chose to use that word. There was no reason not to come
down on them hard at that point. The invasion would have been

JT> “Nice drugs.” Two billion dollars worth of “nice drugs”
JT> each year!
JT> ============================================================
We are not particularly in disagreement here. As to the low
fact diet, I am repeating what Dr. Gabe Merkin would cite
regularly from the literature. AND he meant 15 grams of fat per
day or less (but zero most days and a very fat one meal a week he
found worked as well as long as that fat was less than 7 * 15
grams.) He also almost demanded a person consult with a board
certified nutritionist to learn where fat is hidden in foods as
he was certain no one could know them all.
So if you are not achieving the success you want get to a
nutritionist and target the 15 gms. Beans with herbs and spices
are a way to get there. Beans and rice another, authentic Pita
bread, with effort there is enough variety for a diet that does
not tastes like cardboard.
As a side note, my pointing this out years ago on RIME in
the face of Bonnie Anthony’s unattributed copies of journal
articles to the contrary contributed to my second lifetime ban.
My opinion? In any practical sense there is no way at
present to seriously reduce one’s serum cholesterol without
heroic efforts. For the little reduction that is possible, it is
up to the individual to gamble a small increase in (statistical)
life expectancy against enjoying the life you have.
I see there also being alternatives. There being so many
heart diseases, this being only one, that concentrating on the
other diseases as preventative measures should increase one’s
personal life expectancy. By this I mean physical fitness, body
fat, smoking and the rest and forget the cholesterol risk.
I can take this dispassionately as my serum cholesterol is
almost off the bottom of the scale. I have no axe to grind on
the subject.
