O'REILLY COMMENTARY ON JUDICIAL WATCH INACCURATE Larry Klayman Did Agree To Go On The O'Reilly Factor But Was Sand-Bagged At Last Minute Judicial Watch's Fundraising and Education Expenses Have and Will Generate Additional Capital for Judicial Watch to Use for Litigation (Washington, DC) Tonight, Bill O'Reilly, in an obvious effort to appear "fair and balanced," admittedly discussed Judicial Watch in the context of Jesse Jackson and his alleged fundraising foibles. At the outset of the show, O'Reilly stated that Klayman had refused to come on the show. This is incorrect. Instead, as stated in a previous press release this ...

Maybe it was the timing, but I didn’t hear anything on today’s (12/1) Rush Limbaugh show about the ChiComs being given operation of the Panama Canal effective 1/1/00. (See WorldNetDaily) Maybe he’ll talk about it tomorrow. Also, he favors the WTO and other globalist agendas – can’t you tell? One primary strategy of leading globalists (i.e., the Illuminati) is "Ordo Ab Chao" – Order Out Of Chaos! They work to invent chaos, to generate anger and frustration on the part of humans and thus, take advantage of peoples’ desperate need for order. At the same time these world-wide power brokers ...

Ronald Reagan’s Last Secret By Robert Parry There are two ways to write a biography, just as there are two ways to judge a person's life. One is to examine what the person did: the good left behind and/or the damage inflicted. The other is to search for the why behind the actions, a key that unlocks the inner self. Dutch, Edmund Morris's controversial "memoir of Ronald Reagan," is an example of the latter approach, a search for Reagan's elusive center, his "Rosebud," like Citizen Kane's treasured memory of a childhood sled that somehow explained what drove that movie's ...

What network are you people watching? I have seen no live Tv coverage of Seattle on any broadcast or cable network. I imagine the local Seattle networks are going apes**t with live coverage -- are any cable networks picking up their feeds, are any local networks doing so? I'm a little creeped out not being able to see this happening -- am I blind or are the public radio lefties the only ones covering this? MSNBC is doing an interview with Michael Douglas, CNN is doing a cigarette story, CNBC on genetics... Images, I need images! Help!

Hillary Can't Hold NYC Poll: Giuliani Ahead Of Clinton In New York City Has The Democratic Stronghold Gone Republican? CBS (CBS) Hillary Clinton might have expected a boost from her bold declaration that she is running for the Senate, but the numbers are showing just the opposite, reports CBS News Correspondent Diana Olick. The latest Marist College poll released Wednesday shows the First Lady’s numbers are dropping in a dangerous area for a Democrat: New York City, a key Democratic stronghold and the center of the state's Jewish community. This comes just a day after Clinton took her swipes ...

"In a race that seems destined to give us a choice between TweedleBush and TweedleGore, almost the only interesting question is whether Patrick J. Buchanan will abandon the GOP and seek the presidential nomination of the Reform party. He must feel enormously tempted to do so, for ample reasons. If Buchanan is indeed to defect, he must make up his mind soon-by December at the latest. "Sore loser" rules mean that he cannot run in GOP primaries and then switch to another party for the general election. And because the media have played up the possibility of his departure, some ...

Full text of Slobodan Milosevic's 1989 Kosovo speech that the Clintonistas say was full of racist rhetoric. I invite you to read and judge. Slobodan Milosevic's 1989 Kosovo Speech

So let me get this straight. A bunch of anarchists and assorted radical Left wingers basically looted downtown Seattle yesterday. Broken store fronts, bricks hurled at cops- standard left wing riot agit prop- the kind perfected in the sixities in this country and brought to a higher degree in Europe in the Seventies. Left wing, text book, riots designed to provoke a police response for the cameras and create sympathy for their "cause." And yet many Freepers, who should know better, fall for this crap like the "sheeple" this planned riot is directed at. Whatever your stand on WTO- don't ...

Pundits mixed on how well Bush tax plan will sell WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The $483 billion tax-cut proposal unveiled Wednesday by Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush has something in it for every U.S. income group -- rich, poor and middle class. And while that certainly won't insulate the plan from criticism, even among conservatives, analysts said that on balance it will probably play well with the Republican voters who will decide Bush's fate in the primary elections. How well the Texas governor's ideas would position him in a general presidential election is less certain. Polls have shown the difficulty ...

A HUGE bill submitted by lawyers in the class-action suit brought by victims of Nazism against Swiss banks has raised the hackles of Holocaust victims, who accuse the attorneys of cashing in on their grief. While many of America's top legal talents are working pro bono on the landmark case, a group of nine lawyers is asking the judge to approve fees of $13.5 million (£8.5 million) for its work in negotiating last year's $1.25 billion settlement with the Swiss banks. To the disgust of Holocaust survivors, most of the lawyers have requested that their time-charts be kept secret. One ...

Doctors find evidence of brain damage in Gulf War vets WebPosted Wed Dec 1 08:00:51 1999 CHICAGO - U.S. researchers say that, for the first time, they have found brain damage in veterans who suffer from Gulf War Syndrome. Using sensitive imaging technology known as magnetic resonance spectroscopy, doctors scanned the brains of both sick and healthy veterans, looking for abnormalities a regular MRI can't detect. The doctors found that the sick veterans showed evidence of a loss of a chemical called N-acetyl-aspartate in the brain stem and the basal ganglia. The brain stem controls some of the body's reflexes ...

Police break up WTO protests in London By Sara Marani12/1/99 LONDON (Reuters) - Riot police broke up a violent protest Tuesday by hundreds of demonstrators who ignited a fire outside a major London train station in a show of force against capitalism and a WTO summit in the United States. In a two-hour rampage, protesters overturned vehicles and disrupted London's evening rush hour commuter travel with their attack on the plaza outside Euston Station in the center of the capital. Kings Cross Station and several other stations in the area were also closed to ensure the violence did not ...

November 30, 1999 http://www.inreview.net/apps/storyReader.asp?story=/storydb/vol-5/issue-24/interview/interview/story001.xml By Roger Abramson & Patrick Poole When he resigned in late September after eight months as TennCare director, Brian Lapps had recorded one of the most turbulent and controversial tenures in the program's short five-year history. Having returned to the private sector(RCFA Healthcare Management Services, a consulting firm in Knoxville), Lapps is armed with a detailed working knowledge of the program and may be the man the Sundquist Administration fears most. In this exclusive interview with In Review's Roger Abramson and Patrick Poole, Lapps speaks frankly on the state's inability to reform TennCare, while discussing the ...

From the Letters to The Editor, San Francisco Chronicle, November 29, 1999 ILLOGICAL EQUAL TIME Editor -- Why is it that reporters feel the need to quote religious groups to get a balanced opinion? In the recent article about homosexuality not being abnormal, a scientific fact supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychological Association, New York Times reporter Erica Goode also quoted representatives of religious organizations. Why? These groups are about faith, not fact. They can believe anything they want. It doesn't mean they should get a voice every time they disagree with science. John Paulk ...

Was it a Freudian slip? Was it a gaffe? Or was it President Clinton finally being honest about something for the first time in his life? I refer to the statement he made yesterday with regard to the Panama Canal transfer to a group of reporters in the Oval Office before leaving for the West Coast. Here it is, folks. Hold on to your hats -- especially all of you people who scoffed when I began telling you three years ago that the Communist Chinese were taking over the Panama Canal.

Mom Arrested For Virgin Incident - (DELTONA) -- A Deltona mother has been arrested for allegedly insisting that her 14-year-old daughter remain a virgin until marriage. Authorities are questioning whether the procedure used by the mother is legal or a form of child abuse. According to investigators, the girl was forced to undergo a pelvic examination -- which could be construed as sexual battery and false imprisonment. The mother is being held in the Volusia County Jail on 15-thousand-dollars bond. If convicted, she could face up to 30-years in prison and be labeled a sexual predator.

.COM'sSTRATFOR Global Intelligence Update http://www.stratfor.com/ STRATFOR.COM Global Intelligence Update November 29, 1999 The WTO and the De-synchronization of the Global Economy Summary: The World Trade Organization (WTO) is meeting in Seattle this week. The participants are so divided that they could not even develop a formal agenda for the meetings. While everyone is focused on China's admission, the fact is that the WTO is moribund, only a few years after its creation. Its failure is rooted in the fundamental reality of today's global economy: de-synchronization of regions of roughly equal bulk. Ever since the Asian meltdown, the world's economic regions ...
