Fred the granite is blackish grey with pinkinh veins in it and is very attractive.It also gives the house a very rich look and is a lot more durable than marble. I had it in my condo and I also did the kitchen counters with it.Ten to twenty protesters are really nothing to worry about,I would say in any country you could find that many protesters against any government.

Yes but hoe many democratic governments go running arround shutting down Tv and radio stations because they broadcast what the government objects too. In other words shuts down free speach.

During the war protests in the sixties and seventies students got killed at Ohio State University.Labour unions a while back were barred from marching.Really free speech is a fable,you can exercise that right but when you rub the gov't the wrong way with your free speech it's off to jail.

Gonzo if in the USA a TV station called for the overthrow of the gov't and advocated violence don't you think they would be shut down?

In the States when the air traffic controllers went on strike and voiced their right to free speech what happened?They were fired,somuch for free speech.

Igor:

All be it some time back. However, if my memory serves me correctly, Regan fired the lot of them because the courts deemed that as federal employees they are prohibited from going on strike and their subsequent labor actions was illegal and in complete and direct violation of federal law as relates to the catch all "National Security." Many, many controllers had said their union was wrong to force this movement upon the rank and file as they went unsuccessfully begging for their jobs back. Investigations indicated an outside influence was being excerted not only amongst US air traffic controllers, but also in Montreal Canada which was under the guise of an anti-English language movement being used in towers. Followed by a labor slowdown by ATC in France, Italy and Belgium. IN ALL CASES THE QUESTION OF FREE SPEECH WAS NEVER AN ISSUE.

May I also add that same labor unions in France and Italy have been controlled by the Communist Party for some years.

That reminds me of a tale I heard about one of the american buyers during the privatisation of British Rail. He predicted a huge increase in profits and investment in the Rail network, now that the service was no longer being run by "Communists". (The Thatcher government that was-HAHA).
So , now we have a privatised Railway,(sold off at a huge loss) comprised of dozens of small regional companies, all fighting for slots on the same network. Result: a series of fatal train crashes, failure to agree on the finance to update old track and rolling stock, and the High Speed Rail link which was supposed to link the channel tunnel to London, Birmingham and Manchester has just been scrapped. So much for privatisation, bring back the "Communists"I say.

Igor, Russia does not operate in a vacuum. In the short term with high oil prices in can get by with
homegrown expansion.
Meanwhile what's going on in the Ukraine?

The Stratfor article talked of Georgia, Uzbekistan and Armenia(?) leaving the CIS if Putin continues to turn it into a defense organisation, whilst relying on the dependence of CIS members on Russia to economically dominate the region.
So, economic domination, not cooperation.
Living in France and working in Switzerland, I find that hard to fathom.

Kim

Fred, are you sure?
I wasn't aware that Iraq joined Nato two years ago!! - When Hell freezes over, I think.

Kim

Dimitri,

SF sounds a good bet.
I read you.

Kim

Night folks

Yes but hoe many democratic governments go running arround shutting down Tv and radio stations because they broadcast what the government objects too. In other words shuts down free speach.

Well I know that at least the "democratic" govt of US donesn't have to shut down TVs and Radio stations because they are more than happy to broadcast govt lies. As it was so hard to figure it out.

10,500 Kosovar Refugees To Be Deported From Switzerland After June 1

BERN, May 31, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) Some 10,500 Kosovar refugees living in Switzerland will be forced to leave starting June 1, one day after the deadline for voluntary departures, the Swiss federal office for refugees announced Tuesday.

Switzerland's cantons unanimously voted earlier this month to start forced repatriations on Thursday of those refugees who had not previously declared themselves to Swiss authorities.

Some 14,500 refugees were affected by the move, but 4,000 of them asked for or received extensions because they were ethnic minorities in Kosovo or because they had young children in school.

Between July 1999 and April of this year, more than 32,000 Kosovars applied to receive financial aid from the Swiss government to return voluntarily to their homeland.

Refugees applying before the end of 1999 received 2,000 Swiss francs (1,270 euros, 1,185 dollars) per adult and 1,000 francs per child.

Starting in 2000, refugees were eligible to receive half the initial amount offered by the Swiss government.

More than 100,000 Kosovars have been sent home from 32 European countries since the end of the war last year by the International Migration Organization, which has agreed to help Switzerland repatriate the refugees remaining there.

Subject: One to three weeks before feds perpetrate their potential NBC terrorist
attack


Dear Citizens, Patriots, Veterans,
Constitutionalists, Christians, et al:

The New World Order gang of 300 elite,
illuminati bosses will be meeting
the first week of June 2000 to decide, in their
god-like fashion, the fate of 6 billion people on the face of the earth. The Federal Protective Services (the ONLY federal agency that mandates its employees take an oath to protect and defend our U.S. Constitution - and who avows to help states defend themselves against Clinton's martial law [should he declare it]) says they
have been forewarned to be prepared for a
potential NBC terrorist attack in June 2000 - probably AFTER the gang of 3000 conclude their meeting.

NBC = Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical warfare
and weapons of mass destruction as to be perpetrated by "international" and/or "domestic"
terrorists - of which the ONLY ones I know about
are the federal alphabet-soup agencies foisting upon us their jack-booted, black-hooded
police-state thugs.

Since Constitutional Patriots and now, other
regular citizens, are beginning to wake up and become aware of their plans, the gang of 300 may
push their attack date back until we all calm down
a little and they can comfortably pounce upon us when we let our guard down. But then again, maybe this time (especially after their success with the Elian Gonzales fiasco) they may just GO FOR IT.

Please read about the New World Order plans and
accomplishments below in my earlier post:

1- Well, ladies and gentlemen, this may be "it." The "IT" we have all been waiting for and preparing for, for the past 3 to 4 years. It is finally upon us. As you can see from the subject title, "URGENT ALERT! Prepare for real NBC attack by early-mid June 2000!"

2- From all indications and calculations, a
real NBC attack has 75% to 95% probability of being perpetrated before the end of June 2000. That's in about 6 to 8 weeks maximum. How can our
government be so precise in their surety that it will happen? Well, because THEY are the ones who will be perpetrating it and will attempt to blame it on the ISLAMIC international terrorists - mainly because our fed gov feels that they need some plausible enemy scape goat to blame the attack on. And goodness knows, the feds
(Clinton) have been trying to provoke the Islamics
into attacking us for quite sometime now, without any results, with all the bombing of Iraq,
Islamic Slavic nations, Sudan, Afganistan,
Pakistan, etc.

3- Why June and why the Islamics???? Cuz,
don't you know that there is some ISLAMIC HOLY day in June, and the Islamics have been known to perpetrate a "Jihad" or holy war on those dates? And what better "enemy" then the evil, hated strange people from a strange land?

4- Ever wonder why our federal government
keeps publishing in the mainstream press that it is NOT the case of IF there will be an NBC attack
but WHEN it will happen?

5- So how do I know all of this? Cuz I have
been in contact with a good, moral and Constitutional federal agency (you probably didn't know that there WAS such an animal did you?) who has seen fit to reveal the bad feds'
plans.

6- Here is the story and all the details
that lead up to this impending potential NBC attack and all the documented evidence pointing to the certainty that it WILL occur and that it WILL be in JUNE 2000. (However, they may hold off just to throw us off, let down our guard, and then zap us royally shortly afterward).

7- First you all need to be made aware that
even before (two months exactly) our founding fathers signed our Declaration of Independence from the EVIL King George of England, there was a group of usurpers who called themselves the Illuminati, or the illuminated, knowledgeable ones. They are the ones who planned the New World Order and the modern version of the
illuminati is the GANG of 300 who are the current
300 world rulers.

8- These are the individual rich and powerful
bosses who control the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, the Builderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve System, the Tri-Lateral Commission, GATT, NAFTA, EURO dollar, the Royalty of all of the nations of Europe, and the major international banks, the gold and diamond mines, the oil reserves and such families as the Roosevelts, the Vanderbuilts, the Carnegies, the Kennedys, the Kissingers, and many others.

9- Capitalism, Communism, Nobility, Democracy,
Democrats, Republicans, Socialism, Global Government (United Nations) and other political entities are all working together toward the same end.

10- Their idea is TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION and a
frightening REDUCTION in the population of the entire world. They want to start off with a mere 25% reduction in population (read this as
EXTERMINATION and massive GENOCIDE) by mid to late 2001. Within four years by 2004 they hope to achieve OVER 50% reduction in world population. And by 2020 they plan on 95% elimination of existing populations.

11- What do they expect from this world wide
extermination? Well, if they can hold the total world population down to about half a billion people maximum (500 million) they may reassess their end goal. Some of these modern
illuminati want the figure closer to 200 million.
At 6 billion population now, half a billion would be 1/12th or 92% reduction.

12- But WHY do they want to do this? Because
they mistakenly believe that the world is too crowded and too polluted and that all the natural resources will be used up. So they want to eliminate all the people (except for themselves and enough slaves to serve them) so that there will be enough oil, gas, trees, animals, plants, and food for them ONLY! This is in addition to
the sense of POWER and CONTROL they will have over
LIFE and DEATH itself!

13- Now you know why Emperor Clinton sent
Hillary to the Builderberger summit in Sweden and all the world leaders subsequently met in Portugal -that is to discuss how their plans are coming along and what to do next and how to
overcome their obstacles - namely Patriots,
Constitutionalists, and Christians. Why do you think Clinton is so untouchable? Cuz he is ONE of them. He is their USA puppet. He can do ANYTHING and get away with it because they are protecting him.

14- Why do you think the federal government
and all the other world governments have been on a program to prevent births, perform abortions,
sterilize men and women, insert Norplant
contraceptive chemical tubes in women's arms, perform as many hysterectomies as possible, promote homosexuality which the practice itself prevents births, and recently especially partial birth abortions? Not to mention proposed National Health Care and the power over life and death and health the HMOs are practicing.

15- Why do you think that the FDA, Food and
Drug Administration, has allowed medical doctors to prescribe drugs to U.S. citizens that causes over 170,000 deaths per year because of bad reactions to these drugs? For the dual purpose of making money and eliminating more people. Also, the feds use We the People as guinea pigs to test these new drugs as a precaution before
the rich, elite, modern day illuminati and their
families take the drugs?

16- Why do you think Monsanto has come up
with genetically engineered corn, wheat, oats, potatoes and literally hundreds of other foods that are called TERMINATOR SEEDS? Farmers usually plant their crops and save the best fruits and grain seeds from the harvest for
replanting. Now they have to buy seeds from the Genetic seed companies which will ONLY grow one crop cuz their seeds are sterile? Well, very simple, it all deals with greed, money, power, and control. The companies will make 100 times the amount of money because now they control the seeds which will grow only one crop. And they can withhold the seeds in order to starve the
people out, thus, reducing the world's populations according to their New World Order Plans.

17- Why do you suppose there are so many strange, new, and exotic diseases befalling the world today? Well they have all been genetically
engineered to be untreatable, thus, producing even
MORE deaths. Just think of the deadly hemorrhagic (internal bleeding)disease caused by the laboratory produced Ebola virus.

18- What about the HIV-AIDS virus which has
recently been not only discovered,but as it turns out in the courts and lawsuits to determine who
discovered it, a battle between a French scientist
and an American scientist, it turns out that the American won because he proved that he genetically engineered and invented HIV 15 years PRIOR to the Frenchman's "discovery." HIV-AIDS causes the immune system to fail to protect
the body from disease.

19- What about the Crutchfeld-Jacob PRION
protein which is the Mad Cow Disease? There are hints now that it also was produced in the laboratory.

20- Remember the Legionaires' Respiratory
Disease? It was created and tested on the American Legion members in a conference through the air conditioning system.

21- What about the VERY recent New York Viral
Encephalitis that attacked citizens in New York? Why do you suppose the FBI all of a sudden
showed up saying they were investigating a
possible terrorist attack using biological weapons????? Hey, they had not even determined what the causitive organism was yet and the feds were Johnny on the Spot!

22- Why do you think the Gulf War veterans
all came back sick with various and diverse diseases? Well, the feds sold dozens of different lethal organisms to Saddam Hussein to use against Iran!!!! so that the Islamics
could wipe out each other! More population
reductions.

23- But Saddam used some of the biological
warfare agents against U.S. soldiers and United Nations troops. But that is NOT how most of the vets got the Gulf War Syndrome set of different diseases. Because even those military personnel who did NOT go to the Gulf came down with the diseases.

24- Here is what happened. A mixture of organisms and chemicals were mixed in the vaccinations administered to the soldiers. This way there would be so many different signs and symptoms that doctors could NOT determine what
the disease causing organism was and therefore
would NOT be able to treat for it. Hence, more people will die.

25- But one set of doctors examined many vets
and analyzed many different chemicals and organisms and discovered at least ONE causative
organism. This is the Mycoplasm fermentans
bacterium. The only problem was that it was not a normal germ. Turns out that the Mycoplasm is the smallest bacterium in the world, smaller than ALL bacteria but it does NOT have a cell wall surrounding it like all the other bacteria, it has only a membrane.


26- But there was something VERY fishy about
this one. It had some type of protein coating surrounding it and protecting it. This coating
allowed it to enter the body and NOT be detected
or treated against. After analysis, they discovered that the protein protective coating was none other than the protein coat that surrounds and protects the HIV-AIDS virus. Now
that cannot occur in nature and it was genetically
engineered in the laboratory to create an indefensible biological weapon. Namely, a cross
between the deadly HIV-AIDS virus and a bacterium.

Certainly God would not create such a thing in nature.

27- How do I know all of this? Well, because
it is in the medical literature and there are people who have written books documenting it. And I personally spoke on the phone with a Dr. Goss in
Oklahoma City who has been treating Gulf War Victims. Only, he and his cohorts discovered that the Mycoplasm fermentans is hightly contagious and the wives and children contracted
it from their husbands/fathers servicemen. Dr.
Goss contracted it from his patients and transmitted it to his own wife and children. They have it mostly under control now but this genetically engineered biological warfare
organism is still hiding somewhere in their
bodies.
