Russian gasoline-powered shoes put spark in your step
By Andrew Kramer, Associated Press
[ Not directly related to a Jewish Conspiracy to Enslave Humanity. Although
this
news item isn't directly related to the Jewish Conspiracy to Enslave Humanity, I
thought
it was an interesting item in and of itself. - O.H.]

MOSCOW (AP) His fashion sense isn't as elegant as Gucci's, but
Roman Kunikov says his gasoline-powered boots are a step forward in
footwear as much as 13 feet per stride.
Kunikov is one of the professors at a Russian engineering
institute who designed the boots that were tested Tuesday in a
public square in Ufa, 750 miles southeast of Moscow.
The test showed that wearers can achieve speeds of up to 25 mph,
Kunikov said in a telephone interview.
The boots incorporate one-foot pistons that strap along the calf
and fire downward after the wearer steps down, pushing a metal
plate away from the bottom of the shoe and the wearer up into the
air.
The shoe works in a rhythm with the wearer's step. As he steps
down, his body weight resets the piston, which then fires and
pushes him on his way. The plate is connected to the sole of the
shoe by metal rods that work as shock absorbers. The shoes use
ordinary gasoline, Kunikov said.
''A person can move with significant jumps or strides,'' said
Kunikov, a professor at the Ufa Aviation Technical University.
The university formerly worked on defense contracts, but when
defense budgets shriveled, Ufa university went searching for a
niche in the capitalist economy.
The shoes weigh about two pounds each, including a fuel tank,
tiny carburetor, spark plug and wires and pipes. Kunikov said there
have not been any accidents so far.
He also said he would continue to refine his product.
''We aren't standing in one place,'' he said.

Russian journalists name their enemies in government
By Andrew Kramer, Associated Press
[the most important thing to undertsand about russian politics is that the
russians
have no part in it - it's simply a power struggle between various factions of
jews]
MOSCOW (AP) Complaining they are increasingly made to feel
like enemies of the state, a group of Russian journalists struck
back Wednesday by publishing a blacklist of their own: a list of
''enemies of the press.''
Government officials on the list were faulted for affronts
ranging from refusing to speak to the press to failing to protect
the lives of journalists.
The Russian Union of Journalists, the country's largest trade
group for members of the news media, said it put together the list
to draw attention to individual officials who blocked the press'
efforts to serve as watchdogs for Russia's fledgling democracy.
''It's not an anonymous trend. There are real people behind
this,'' said Union Secretary Igor Yakovenko.
At the top of the list was Russia's press and information
minister Mikhail Lesin, who was criticized for outlawing television
broadcasts of interviews with rebel leaders in the break away
republic of Chechnya.
President Vladimir Putin, a former KGB colonel, came in second,
tied with the country's prosecutor general, Vladimir Ustinov.
While Putin insists press freedoms are crucial to democracy, he
has been widely criticized for the arrest last month of media
tycoon Vladimir Gusinsky.
Another journalist, Radio Liberty correspondent Andrei Babitsky,
was also detained in January by secret service agents in Chechnya
for not having proper accreditation and is now barred from leaving
Moscow. His reports contained interviews with Chechen rebels, and
he gave graphic accounts of Russian atrocities against Chechen
civilians.
Human rights advocates said that in both cases, the men were
targeted for being critical of the Kremlin.
''Especially since Putin came to power, we see the government
trying to limit the rights of journalists,'' said Oleg Panfilov,
director of the Center for Journalism in Extreme Situations, a
Moscow-based rights group.
Also on the list was Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, president of the
Russian republic of Kalmykia. In 1998, Larisa Yudina, the editor of
an opposition newspaper in Kalmykia, was found stabbed to death
after reporting on alleged misuse of public funds.
Former regional government officials have been convicted of the
killing. Ilyumzhinov has denied involvement.

Door opened on grim French prisons
By Clar Ni Chonghaile, Associated Press

PARIS (AP) Two studies published Wednesday paint a grim
picture of life in French penitentiaries, where prisoners often are
crowded into small cells and staff lack the means to rehabilitate
inmates to return to the outside world.
French prisons came under the media spotlight earlier this year
when a prison doctor published a book describing rapes,
self-mutilations and filthy conditions at Paris' La Sante prison.
The graphic book by Veronique Vasseur caused a public outcry and
both houses of the French parliament created special inquiry
commissions.
Their reports, the first on French prisons done by parliamentary
commissions in 125 years, were presented Wednesday. Both called for
major rejorms.
The report by the lower house, or National Assembly, noted
''unsuitable, often unworthy, conditions of imprisonment, a
disorientated and unrecognized personnel, a lack of resources, the
absence of clearly defined objectives.''
It said of France's 187 prisons, 108 are more than 80 years old.
''There are no three-star prisons,'' said the report's author,
Socialist lawmaker Jacques Floch.
''There are penitentiaries that have a minimum of dignity ...
Then there are other buildings that are that are unworthy of a
country like France,'' he told a news conference.
Floch said there were 49,000 places in French jails and 52,000
prisoners. He stressed the main problem was not in the number of
places available but how they were used, citing examples of
prisoners crowded six to a cell made for two and forced to use an
open toilet.
''There are thousands of places like that in our country,'' he
said.
''We think 50,000 places is enough but these have to be used in
the best possible conditions and assure a minimum of dignity to
those in them,'' Floch said. ''These people are in these cells for
22 hours out of 24.''
Forty percent of the prison population are awaiting trial one
of the highest levels in democratic countries, Floch said.
The lawmakers also said prisoners serving long sentences, minors
and those remanded in custody were mixed together.
Vasseur's expose already has spurred government action. Justice
Minister Elisabeth Guigou said France would build three new prisons
and close some of the oldest ones. La Sante is to be renovated.
But Floch said it is not just creating more jails. The question
of what can be done to help the staff prepare prisoners for release
needs to be addressed, he said.
''The staff are no longer, and cannot be, key-carriers,'' he
said.
The Senate commission drew up 30 urgent measures to reform the
penal system and remove the ''climate of despair'' in French
prisons.

Saddam Hussein purges Iraq's ruling party
By Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) Iraqi President Saddam Hussein recently
expelled some 100 top officials from his ruling Baath Party on
charges of corruption and incompetence, a major opposition group
said Wednesday.
Saddam's latest purge of the Baath Party included demoting many
other officials to lower ranks, the Iraqi Communist Party said in a
statement faxed to The Associated Press from its headquarters in
northern Iraq. Saddam's government has no control over northern
Iraq.
The ICP said the charges made against those punished included
''theft, embezzlement and inefficiency.'' Some members were fired
because they have relatives working in the opposition groups, the
ICP said.
The ICP did not give further details.
The Iraqi government refuses to comment on opposition reports.
No mention of the purges has been made in the state-controlled
Iraqi media. The Baath party held a congress recently, but details
were released following the meeting.

One killed in fighting as Malaysian police say gunmen belong toIslamic cult
By Sean Yoong, Associated Press
[in most of the world jews are oppossed to islamic 'extremism' however,
this is actually one place where jews have flirted with allying themselves
with some muslim extremists - that just goes to show you how far these
jews will go to overthrow the current malaysian government]
SAUK, Malaysia (AP) Fresh fighting erupted early Wednesday in
the jungles of northern Malaysia between government troops and an
armed Islamic group holding three hostages. At least one of the
Islamic gunmen was killed.
The violence resumed when some gunmen tried to break through a
cordon in a densely forested area where they had been hiding with a
cache of weapons they stole in weekend raids on military armories,
said Norian Mail, inspector general of police.
About 1,000 soldiers armed with artillery and heavy machine guns
fought back after being attacked with grenade launchers and M-16
assault rifles, Norian said.
Although military officials said a full-scale assault was not
imminent, they imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the area. Villagers
close to the fighting have also been told to leave their homes.
Investigations showed the gunmen belong to a little-known
Islamic spiritual cult that includes several ex-military personnel,
he said, without naming the group.
''They are practitioners of spiritual knowledge. In this way
they are a cult,'' Norian said at a news conference.
Growing Islamic sentiment in this Southeast Asian nation has
rarely boiled over into violence.
On Sunday, the gang disguised themselves as senior military
officers on a surprise inspection and fooled sentries at two
military camps, gaining easy entry to the armories. They escaped
with more than 100 assault rifles, grenade launchers and thousands
of rounds of ammunition from the bases in Perak state.
The raid has shaken Malaysia's security system and raised
concerns about the efficiency and alertness of its military. Some
opposition leaders have demanded the defense minister's
resignation, while letters to newspapers have called for a security
overhaul in the Southeast Asian nation.
The government has not said if it knows where the weapons were
headed. Independent military experts say the guns may have been
stolen by mercenaries for use by Muslim separatist rebels in the
southern Philippines or in Indonesia's Aceh province.
Authorities have remained secretive about the operation.
Defense Minister Najib Tun Razak said Tuesday night that three
people were being held, two who were believed to be police
intelligence officers nabbed while on a reconnaissance mission
inside the forest Monday. The third was a farmer, he said.

Former Islamic premier barred from politics indefinitely
By Associated Press
[ Turkey. The Jews use Turkey as a double edged sword against their foes in
both the Middle
East and in Europe and Russia. Firstly, Turkey has been stupid enough to
imagine that this
temporary ally is beneficial for them, it is only a matter of time that they'll
be betrayed.
Turkey acts much in the way as the other so called Jewish satellite states in
the Middle East
act, such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia - they suppress all manner of Muslim self
determination
and resistance to Jewish tyranny. Secondly Turkey acts as the flood gates of
rabble to Europe
and a big moral force behind 'liberal' Muslim incursions into Slavic Europe. I
say that these
Slavic Muslims are 'liberal' in that they are totally uninterested in the Jewish
conspiracy
or combatting it, they main efforts lie in their short term goals of
establishing living-room
for themselves at the expense of Christian lives in their region such as the
Serbs and other
Slavic Christians. Turkey is also a big ally of the Jewish NATO whether
supporting the murder
of Serbs or supporting the Mossad and Jewish murder in Palestine and Syria. -

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) An appeals court on Wednesday upheld a
one-year prison sentence against a former premier who challenged
secular rule and called deputies ''infidels,'' the Anatolia news
agency said.
The decision bars Necmettin Erbakan, who led Turkey's Islamic
movement for nearly three decades, from active politics
indefinitely. Erbakan, 74, was banned from politics for five years
in 1998 when his Welfare Party was shut down for anti-secular
activities.
The decision will likely reduce Erbakan's ability to maneuver
behind the scenes and control the pro-Islamic Virtue Party, the
successor of Welfare. Politicians from the Virtue Party, which is
facing closure on charges of being the continuation of the banned
Welfare Party, were angered by the decision.
''Turkey can't place a premier into prison in the 2000s,''
deputy chairman Bulent Arinc said. His remarks were reported by the
Anatolia news agency.
Erbakan was convicted in March by a court in the southeastern
city of Diyarbakir for a 1994 speech in which he criticized the
fact that Turkish students open their school day by reciting
nationalist slogans and not Koranic verses. He also described
pro-secular deputies as ''infidels.''
Wednesday's decision came a month after Prosecutor Baki Coban
urged the court to uphold the verdict. Erbakan's lawyer has one
last right to appeal the decision only on technical grounds.
Erbakan, who stepped down as premier in 1997 under pressure from
the fiercely secular military, would be eligible for parole after
serving about one-third of the sentence.
Secularism is staunchly enforced in Turkey and criticizing
secularism can be considered illegal under laws that bar inciting
hatred based on religious differences.

Man on shooting spree in McDonald's

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) A man killed one person in a McDonald's
restaurant and injured three others in a shooting spree, police
said Wednesday.
The gunman entered McDonald's just before midnight while three
patrons were arguing with restaurant employees, said Col. Laszlo
Garamvoelgyi, a police spokesman.
''He then went into the men's room and emerged with a gun and
started shooting,'' Garamvoelgyi said on state-run television.
The gunman then walked outside, shot a 17-year old on the street
and walked on. Police caught him a few blocks away. He was
identified only as Zsolt B., 25.
One person shot inside the restaurant died, while two were
listed in critical condition with gunshot wounds to the head,
police spokesman Attila Samu said. The 17-year-old pedestrian was
hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the stomach.
Such shootings are extremely unusual in Hungary, where gun
control laws are strict and enforced. ''It was like something in
America,'' Garamvoelgyi said.

Reports: Malaysian hog farms shut down as killer virus resurfaces
By Associated Press
[ The World Health Organization WHO is suspected of being the world's
premiere
bio-terrorist group. They are suspected of working for Jewish interests by
spreading
man-made diseases to attack and destabilize countries that have not become
indebted
to the IMF International Monetary Fund through famine and strife. It is
suspected that
Jewish leaders acting through their Non-Jewish frontmen, often use the WHO to
destroy
the gene-pool of a country they concider to be a threat to them. More often
than not,
countries that are at odds with the Jewish people or are too independent from
them,
'mysteriously' get unknown diseases. The Malaysian pig virus, the Dutch
Legionaires
disease, are some more recent examples. AIDS was one of the first war-weapons
which
the WHO is supsected of having created. It originally was used to reduce the
virile
populations of Africa, but later was reused to attack other countries - a
drawback
of AIDS however is that it takes too long to kill. One of the methods used to
distribute
these poisons was probably under the guise of 'vaccines', as well as injecting
it into
animals with a close genetic makeup to humans such as chimpanzees and pigs.
- O.H.]

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Health authorities put eight hog
farms in eastern Malaysia under quarantine after tests showed some
pigs could be infected with a virus that killed more than 100
people last year, news reports said Wednesday.
The discovery in Sarawak state on Borneo island came during
routine blood tests on pigs, agricultural official David Teng Lung
Chi told The Sun daily.
Such tests were ordered after last year's outbreak of Nipah
virus that destroyed pig farms across Malaysia, the region's
largest pork producer. Nearly 1 million pigs had to be killed to
contain the deadly new strain of viral encephalitis.
Last month, authorities ordered the killing of 1,700 pigs in
northern Penang state to prevent a recurrence of the disease.
Any hog farm found with even one infected pig must destroy its
entire stock. Owners of the farms in Sarawak were barred Tuesday
from transporting pigs anywhere until investigations were
completed.

Foiled Mossad operation's target denies terrorist links
By Alexander G. Higgins, Associated Press
[who is on trial here? the mossad agent or a victim of the spying??]
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) A Swiss-Lebanese man at the center
of a bungled Israeli spy operation said Tuesday that the Islamic
center he ran was set up for religious purposes and was not linked
to anti-Israeli activities.
On the second day of the trial of an Israeli Mossad agent caught
in a February 1998 espionage attempt, lawyers for the Swiss
government and the agent probed for links between Abdallah el-Zein
and terrorist masters in Lebanon and Iran.
But a Swiss police expert testified that investigators had been
unable to connect the worldwide network of Ahl El-Beit centers to
Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed guerrilla group that fought to oust
Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.
''The suspicion exists,'' said Hans Knaus of Switzerland's
federal police. ''But we have not been able to confirm it.''
Other police officers described Tuesday how they caught the
Israeli agent, identified as Issac Bental, and four colleagues
installing bugging equipment after midnight in the basement of an
apartment building where el-Zein had lived near the capital, Bern.
Police were called in when neighbors reported strange noises.
Rudolf Leuenberger of Bern state police said he and his partner
found Bental and two other agents in the basement and said there
were enough suspicious elements, including identical stamps in
their Israeli passports, that police decided to take them in for
questioning. Two other agents keeping watch outside were also
questioned.
Only Bental was arrested, because he was holding a bag with
tools to install the wiretap.
Contained in two hollowed-out boards about four feet long, the
bugging system included a cellular phone, a timer and 24 batteries.
The phone was set up to dial a recording center every time the
telephone in el-Zein's apartment was taken off the hook.
''It could have worked for years,'' said Victor Ruefenacht, the
federal police technology expert.
El-Zein told the court that the Ahl El-Beit center he ran
organized soccer teams, promoted friendship and sent money to
orphans in Lebanon and Iraq, but its main purpose was to encourage
Islamic worship.
''Of course there are other activities but the main purpose is
religious,'' he told the Federal Criminal Court.
Bental said Monday that he had been told el-Zein had sent people
on terrorist missions to Israel. El-Zein denies the allegations and
has settled a separate suit against Bental out of court.
The Mossad agent's lawyer, Ralph M. Zloczower, asked el-Zein
about his contacts with figures prominent in Ahl El-Beit, including
Saddredine Fadlallah, head of the organization's center in Paris.
El-Zein acknowledged meeting Fadlallah, but said he didn't know
Fadlallah is the son of the Lebanese Grand Ayatollah Sheik Mohammed
Hussein Fadlallah, widely believed to be the spiritual guide of
Hezbollah.
Bental, who is being tried under a pseudonym, is believed to be
the first admitted Mossad agent to go on trial in a foreign
country.
Bental has said that the three charges against him are correct
that he acted illegally for a foreign country, conducted political
espionage and repeatedly used false foreign identity documents. If
found guilty, he could face a maximum sentence of 20 years
imprisonment.
Lawyers are to make closing arguments on Thursday, and
sentencing is expected Friday.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) A former pro-Israeli militiaman, who
spied on his sister while she worked for a guerrilla group, was
sentenced on Tuesday to 10 years in jail with hard labor.
Ibrahim Ali Beydoun was one of 49 people sentenced by a military
court in Beirut Tuesday for offenses ranging from entering Israel
to collaborating with the Jewish state. Lebanon prohibits any
contact with Israel, with whom it is technically at war.
The court barred Beydoun, 26, from returning to his hometown of
Bint Jbeil, in southern Lebanon, for 10 years after finishing his
sentence. Such sentences are apparently intended to protect
convicts from possible revenge attacks.
Beydoun said he spied on his sister, Sonia, for the pro-Israeli
militia, the South Lebanon Army, while she worked for an
unidentified anti-Israeli group.
The court handed down sentences ranging from two weeks to five
years in prison for 47 other defendants. A 49th defendant, Ali
Khalil Hamid, 45, a former SLA security official, was sentenced in
absentia to 15 years in jail with hard labor.
Some 700 alleged collaborators have been sentenced to up to 15
years in jail since Israel withdrew its forces from southern
Lebanon on May 24. The verdicts cannot be appealed.
Up to 2,200 ex-members of the 2,500-strong SLA were captured or
surrendered to Lebanese authorities after the Israeli withdrawal.
The rest many of them high-ranking militia officials fled to
Israel.

Arafat divulges financial secrets after years of pressure
By Karin Laub, Associated Press
[arafat is a 'goy front' who has been bought by jews in order for them to setup
their 'peace process' circus and give the palestinian people the false
appearance of a debate]
[Hedging. Infiltration by jews into ideological groups on both sides to
insure victory.
The jews believe in hedging their bets in anything they do. Even when they
prefer
one side of an issue to another and want that side to prevail, they will send
agents
to infiltrate the opposing side and represent it so even in the remote case that
their
side doesn't win, they will still be in a good position to subvert the opposing
side. - O.H.]

[The Illusionary Hedge-Play (Hedging with Illusionary Conflicting Outcomes).
The Jews
understand that people need to believe that they have a choice in matters -
freedom of
choice. The Jews understand that if they are going to use the Democratic
Democratic system
for their own advantage they really need to set up a dictatorship which has the
outward
appearance of a Democracy, in which the people are fooled by a cardboard cutout
of a full
horizon, of full freedom. One method the Jews use to give their victims the
impression that
they are promoting Freedom, Democracy and Choice is via the concept of the
'Illusionary
Hedge Play'. In this Jewish device or trick, the Jew (as in all Hedging) places
his 'bets'
on both sides of the table, but creates an artificial or illusionary conflict
between the
two sides; this gives the appearance of a duality. The use of a Hedge with an
illusionary
opponent is somewhat different than the standard Hedge where the two (or more)
opponents or
outcomes are real but in which the Jew has setup either contingency plans for
the victory
of that outcome or directly or indirectly controls or decides what are the
various possible
outcomes. An example a Jewish Hedge with an Illusion is as follows: The Jews
might get two
of their frontmen to start attacking each other in words, and even go so far as
to have
one side say many things which the Jews would disagree with in order to use as
an
'Opposition Climate Guage'. An example of the Illusionary Hedge-Play is frontman
Vladimir
Putin of Russia. Putin is presented by the Jews as a fighter of curruption, and
as someone
who will clean Russia of the currupt and powerful Jewish Mafiosos such as Boris
Berezovsky.
Of course nothing of the sort will occur but in words at least Putin is hostile
towards
the likes of Billionaire thugs such as Jew Berezovsky. The rest of what will
happen is much
like a staged boxing match (or better yet like a Professional Wrestling Match)
where the winner
and loser are both acting (a complex script designed by the director and
orchestrator of the
entire 'conflict') and the point of the 'loser' losing in this case is primarily
to deflect
public animosity and attention away from him - namely Berezovsky will retreat to
the shadows
and control everything from behind the scenes rather than being so open. This
apparrent opposition
between Putin and Berezovsky is a complete Illusion as they are both working for
the same
ends and the conflict to begin with was dreamed up by Jewish Conspirators in the
"International
Community" as a way to ease "anti-semitic" tentions in Russia. - O.H.]

[The Jewish "Socio-Political Cimate Guage". In almost every country that the
Jew controls,
the Jew is also the active sponsor and director of many of the more highly
organized
*anti-Jewish* movements. These movements and groups are authentic and
influential for the
most part as far as their *words* however they rarely *do* anything to help
people liberate
themselves from Jewish tyranny and more often act as a way to collect the names
and personal
information on people who would actively oppose Jewish rulership. Right-Wing
(and Left-Wing)
front-groups such as these also act as a 'climate guage' with which the Jew can
predict
in what mood the society as a whole might be inclined to gravitate towards. By
studying
the members of the society who would actively join these anti-jewish puppet
groups,
the jew can more amply work his propaganda to prevent the mainstream members of
that society
from turning in that direction. In some cases legitamate anti-Jewish groups are
infiltrated
and either converted into or indirectly used as 'Socio-Political Climate
Guages'. One
example of such a 'Guage' is Right-wing Jew Vladimir Zhirinovsky. As with most
of these
'guages' Zhirinovsky has openly attacked Jews (even though he is one himself).
Never-the-less,
Zhirinovsky has no intention of ever truly attacking the Jews and his firebrand
rhetoric is
really designed to 'troll' for people with inclinations for that message in
order to
tally how many people are 'dangerous' and need to be studied. - O.H.]

JERUSALEM (AP) After years of pressure from foreign donors,
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has divulged his administration's
financial secrets from the existence of a multimillion dollar
slush fund to a state monopoly on cement and a $60 million share in
a highly profitable casino.
The 16-page report, posted on the Palestinian Authority's Web
site, has drawn praise from the donor community, coupled with
warnings that fledgling financial and economic reforms will be
eroded if the government doesn't trim the bloated public payroll
expected to devour 60 percent of this year's $1 billion budget.
''It's very positive what has been done,'' foreign aid official
Torgeir Larsen, economic officer at the Norwegian Representative
Office in the West Bank, said Tuesday.
The donor community, led by the United States and the European
Union, has demanded for years that the Palestinian government
divulge its financial dealings, including the diversion of millions
of dollars in tax revenues to secret accounts in Israeli banks to
which only Arafat and a few close advisers have access.
According to the Palestinian Authority's financial report, which
was first presented to a donors' conference in Lisbon, Portugal,
last month, some $530 million did not reach the Treasury in 1998
and 1999.
Some of the money was used to help cover the Palestinian
Authority's operating expenses, but the bulk was saved or invested
through the Palestinian Commercial Services Company, or PCSC, which
is fully owned by the Palestinian Authority.
Palestinian Planning Minister Nabil Shaath, who helped draft the
document, said Arafat for years resisted releasing information on
the secret accounts because he wanted to invest the money for the
benefit of the state coffers and not be pressed to spend it on
social welfare, including increasing the public payroll, Shaath
said.
In 1999, the PCSC had $345 million worth of assets, including
$292 million in equity holdings in three dozen companies, among
them some of the giants of the Palestinian economy.
The largest holding, valued at $60 million, was a 30 percent
stake in a casino in the West Bank town of Jericho. In the past,
the Palestinian Authority refused to acknowledge its involvement in
the casino, apparently fearing criticism by Islamic fundamentalists
who oppose gambling on religious grounds.
The Palestinian Authority also confirmed that it had a monopoly
on cement and a 47 percent share in the Palestinian areas' only
flour mill.
In 1999, the PCSC had a net profit of $77 million, including $18
million from the sale of cement, the report said.
Palestinian investors have long grumbled that it is difficult to
do business because of what they say is the Palestinian Authority's
stranglehold on the economy.
Arafat's government plans to phase out its equity holdings
gradually and privatize most public enterprises, the report said,
though no target date was given.
The report also said that as of late April, tax revenues were no
longer being diverted and were instead funneled directly into the
Treasury a claim confirmed by the International Monetary Fund.
Shaath said the disclosures and reforms are a ''giant step
forward toward fiscal responsibility.''

Paris prosecutor opens preliminary investigation into Echelon
By Verena Von Derschau, Associated Press

PARIS (AP) A French prosecutor has opened a preliminary
investigation into a U.S.-led spy network that has left many
Europeans suspicious that their businesses are being monitored,
judicial sources said Tuesday.
Paris prosecutor Jean-Pierre Dintilhac in May asked the DST,
France's internal security service, to carry out the preliminary
inquiry, according to a report in Tuesday's Le Figaro newspaper.
The report was confirmed by judicial sources who spoke on condition
they not be named.
The Echelon issue surfaced in February when a European
Parliament report discussed the existence and activities of the
network, whose members also include Britain, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand.
It said Echelon has surveillance-interception stations across
the globe that intercept ''billions of messages per hour,''
including telephone calls, fax transmissions and private e-mails.
The report by British investigative journalist Duncan Campbell
was presented to the EU assembly. It urged the EU to take action
against unwanted interception of communications, insisting that
this violated human rights and could be used for industrial
espionage.
The United States and Britain have offered reassurances that
Echelon is not involved in economic espionage.
But some Europeans remain concerned that the network may be
compromising businesses, and many European parliament members have
asked for a deeper probe. On Wednesday, EU lawmakers are expected
to decide whether to create a temporary inquiry commission on

Cannibalistic, unruly militia defends Sierra Leone against itsrebels
By Glenn Mckenzie, Associated Press
[Negroid savagery. This is just normal behavior in a 'majority-Black'
environment.
The jews understand this too and fear the possibility of Black reprisals against
jewish
abuse - which is why the jews are hard at work creating AIDS and other deadly
diseases to
exterminate all Blacks whenever they can't intermix them with Whites. - O.H.]

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) Naked except for thong underwear,
a teen-ager hefts a rocket launcher to his shoulder and curses
loudly as he runs into the street. His fellow fighters, many
wearing charms around their necks, swirl into a mob bristling with
rifles.
Unruly and untrained, these traditional hunters are the ragged
line of defense for Sierra Leone's weak elected government against
brutal rebels who systematically slaughtered tens of thousands and
maimed many more during nine years of civil war.
The recent scene at the headquarters of the Kamajor hunter
militia is a recipe of how the pro-government faction prepares to
battle the rebel Revolutionary United Front: First, liberally apply
mysticism, then whip into a frenzy.
The fighters' gray-haired commander, Pa Harding, was shirtless;
his pot belly was smeared with a greasy paste to give him the
supposed magical ability to repel bullets.
The militia also known as the Civil Defense Force is made up of
primarily hunters and uneducated teen-age boys. Most use juju
(voodoo) fetishes to protect themselves from their enemies and some
openly practice cannibalism, eating the heads and hearts of enemies
killed in action. Often they execute suspected rebels first and ask
questions later.
But in a country devastated by the rebels who have discarded
three peace deals in four years, including last July's accord
giving them amnesty for war crimes, many Sierra Leoneans revere
or at least respect the Kamajors.
Part of that popularity stems from the fact that the other
factions arrayed against the rebels are just as controversial and
their loyalty less certain.
Many army members have previously fought alongside the rebels,
and some committed the same atrocities cutting off hands, legs
and lips of innocent civilians that have become the rebels'
battle signature. The Kamajors have not veered in their allegiance
to the government since the militia was formed in 1995.
The United Nations' troubled peacekeeping force, the world's
largest at more than 12,000 troops, has also failed to inspire
public confidence.
The U.N. has vowed to give more muscle to its force here and
U.N. peacekeepers said Tuesday they had captured a strategic town
from rebels. A rebel attack the night before forced government
troops to pull out of Masiaka, which lies on a key junction 45
miles from the capital.
Kamajor strongholds, like the southern towns of Bo and Pujehun,
are virtually the only areas of Sierra Leone unscathed by the civil
war. In the rebel-held north, the group has had less success.
In Bo, Kamajors rule the streets, patrolling in elaborate
headdresses and leather fetish tunics. All other pro-government
factions are unwelcome.
At their Freetown base, the abandoned Brookfields Hotel, what
was once a lively nightspot now has a swimming pool filled with
garbage and rooms blackened by smoke from cooking fires. Young
fighters while away spare time playing soccer inside the empty
restaurant.
The Kamajors, a name which means ''hunter'' in Mende, are
nothing if not fierce.
Victor Palmer, a Kamajor fighter in the capital who says he is
19 but looks younger, hefts a British-made SLR rifle and promises
to ''kill a rebel'' in honor of a foreign visitor.
His friends slap his back and joke that Palmer's chosen nickname
''Unamsil'' the acronym of the U.N. peacekeeping force suggests
he may instead give up his gun to the rebels. Palmer responds by
growling threats and pointing his gun threateningly at his
colleagues.
Despite their undisciplined nature and frequent marijuana use,
the Kamajors have found an unlikely ally in the former colonial
ruler, Britain, which sent 1,000 troops to bolster Freetown's
defense in May. Those soldiers are now gone, but British military
advisers continue to supply pro-government forces such as the
Kamajors with arms and ammunition and are training at least 1,000
army recruits.
Brig. David Richards, the departed British commander, said he
expected the Kamajors to play a major role in the defense of the
West African nation despite their unwillingness to give up their
free-spirited independence and join the new British-trained army.
''There is an important place for a strong militia,'' Richards
said, adding they are able to muster up to 100,000 volunteer
fighters on short notice.
Despite the rivalry that exists between the Kamajors and other
pro-government factions, many Sierra Leoneans agree.
''Our army is in shambles and if we depend on the U.N., then we
might as well give up now to the rebels,'' said Ismael Conteh, a
32-year-old unemployed businessman, who said he was planning to
join the Kamajors. ''The militia understand the rebels because they
are brothers. They are the only ones who can fight them and solve
Sierra Leone's problem.''

South Korean activists still masters of protest choreography
By Christopher Torchia, Associated Press
[ Many of the major wars in the history of the human race were specifically
designed and instigated
by Jews - Jews often who take part on both sides and seek to profit in one way
or another, from
the misery of Non-Jews. One example was the war between France and Algeria. The

- O.H.]
MAEHYANG-RI, South Korea (AP) The anti-U.S. rally seemed
quaint at times, a rote display of fist pumping and ''Yankee go
home'' chants that recalled a simpler, ideologically divided world.
Even the violence was mechanical, with student activists in
T-shirts and shorts periodically surging against a locked wall of
riot shields. After brawling for 20 minutes or so, the activists
brushed themselves off and settled into more speeches.
Protests against the U.S. military presence in South Korea have
been increasing since the Korea summit in mid-June.
Although they remain limited in size and impact, nowhere near
the scale of anti-Americanism that flourished under the
authoritarian South Korean governments of the Cold War era, the
rallies highlight an old South Korean tradition: the art of
protest.
The 1980s were the heyday of South Korean demonstrations,
beginning in 1980 with a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy
activists in Kwangju city. With the advent of democratic reforms
later in the decade, workers sensed an opening and took to the
streets to demand more rights.
These rallies often ended in violence that paralyzed major
cities and was broadcast on television around the world. But in a
sign of how stable South Korea has become, police proudly
proclaimed recently that they did not use a single tear gas
canister in 1999.
That statistic reflects not only restraint by police but also
the smaller size and diminished militancy of protests. Last Friday,
about 80 people showed for an anti-U.S. demonstration outside the
main American military base in downtown Seoul.
Yet a flair for the dramatic, combined with a Korean taste for
order and hierarchy, have turned protest into theater in
Maehyang-ri, a village southwest of Seoul where residents complain
a U.S. bombing range has caused injuries and deaths among people
and livestock.
The Seoul government granted the land to the U.S. military,
which says it must train in order for its forces to remain a viable
deterrent against any threat from communist North Korea.
Critics have also questioned the deployment of 37,000 U.S.
troops in South Korea in the wake of a summit and other moves
toward reconciliation between the Koreas. Seoul and Washington have
said there are no plans to remove the soldiers.
At a recent protest on the fenced edge of the Maehyang-ri
bombing range, demonstrators lapsed into rhetorical demands for the
impossible, shouting that the U.S. military should quit the Korean
peninsula today.
In conversations, however, some acknowledged that they want
revisions in the Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA, which governs
the conduct and operations of U.S. soldiers in South Korea. The
deal grants too much legal and financial leeway to the United
States, they said.
Such an appeal commands less enthusiasm in democratic South
Korea than the old argument that the United States was an
accomplice of past repressive governments.
The clarity of their goals aside, the demonstrators were
meticulous in the choreography of protest. ''Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls, raise your hands,'' an organizer said before
protesters launched into synchronized clapping.
There were introductions and bows from a few veteran activists,
and even a mock roll call. ''Absent,'' shouted a speaker after
calling out the name of President Kim Dae-jung.
Before the scrum with police, students removed giant speakers so
they wouldn't be damaged and lined up in front of officers who put
on their helmets and shuffled into position. Traditional drummers
in colorful smocks pounded a steady beat throughout the clash.
Portable toilets waited nearby.
There seemed to be a tacit agreement that no one would get hurt
badly: a handful of protesters haphazardly threw stones, most of
which sailed over the heads of police. They punched up a few
police, then patted them on the back and released them.
''We are just doing what we are told to do. Please don't be so
harsh on us,'' one young policeman told a group of irate
demonstrators.
Activists often haggle with police over how far they can march,
but the combatants are not always restrained. At least 20 people
were injured in one Maehyang-ri protest in June in which riot
squads with clubs beat activists who fought with rocks and bamboo
staves.
Like many performances, credits roll at the end of the protests.
Organizers intone thanks to those who donated milk or chocolate
cake or the sound system. The activists dutifully applaud.

AMBON, Indonesia (AP) Ten people were killed in the latest
outbreak of religious fighting in the Maluku islands, as police and
soldiers stepped up their search for illegal weapons, officials and
Indonesian media reports said Tuesday.
Two days of clashes started Monday between Christians and
Muslims in areas outside of the region's main city, Ambon,
according to military officials and news reports.
Residents said at least one person was killed, eight injured and
several buildings set on fire on Tuesday. There was no more
information provided.
The fighting comes despite a state of civil emergency imposed
June 26 to end fierce street battles that have killed 70 people in
about a week.
More than 3,000 people have been killed since the fighting
erupted 18 months ago.
In another report, the official Antara news agency said soldiers
found 34 decomposing bodies in the Lage district in Central
Sulawesi Tuesday. Soldiers have found 84 bodies in the last five
days.
Meanwhile, security officials said more than 800 guns and
800,000 rounds of ammunition were stolen last month from two police
arsenals in Ambon, Antara reported.
The navy said it thwarted a weapons-smuggling operation into the
Malukus on Sunday. The navy uncovered a ''huge cache'' of
military-style and homemade weapons on a vessel in Ternate harbor,
said Capt. Tri, who like many Indonesians uses only one name.
The Malukus, known as the Spice Islands during Dutch colonial
rule, are about 1,600 miles northeast of Indonesia's capital,

Student admits harassing feminist author
By Associated Press
[this student is just as sick as her judeo-feminist creator]
HARLOW, England (AP) A 19-year-old student who held author
Germaine Greer captive in her home, jumping on her back during the
ordeal and calling her ''Mummy,'' pleaded guilty Tuesday to a
charge of harassment.
Karen Burke, a student at Bath University, admitted the offense
at a magistrates court in Harlow, 25 miles north of London. Charges
of assault and false imprisonment were dropped.
She was placed on probation for two years, and ordered not to
contact Greer or go within five miles of her home.
Defense lawyer Stuart Barlow said Burke had agreed to medical
treatment and would willingly undertake ''whatever was required.''
Burke was arrested April 24 at Greer's home near Saffron Walden,
45 miles north of London, after some of the writer's friends became
concerned that she had not shown up for dinner.
''They found Burke holding on to Professor Greer by the legs and
screaming,'' prosecuting attorney Dinah Walters said.
Walters said Burke began writing to Greer early this year and
that Greer became concerned the young woman might need psychiatric
help. Greer wrote to Burke asking that the correspondence cease
but, on April 21, Burke appeared at the writer's home.
Greer felt Burke regarded her as a spiritual mother figure,
Walters said.
Greer allowed the student to spend the night in a garden
shelter, then drove her to a train station the next day, hoping she
would leave, the prosecutor said.
When Burke returned to the home two days later, Greer telephoned
police, who warned Burke she could be charged with harassment.
The next day, Greer encountered Burke outside the house. Greer
screamed and turned to go back into the house to telephone police,
Walters said.
''Karen Burke jumped onto Germaine Greer's back shouting out,
`Mummy, Mummy, don't do that, Mummy, Mummy, don't do that!'''
Walters said.
The two women struggled for more than two hours, with Greer tied
up at one point, the prosecutor said.
Walters read out Burke's statement to police, in which the
student said she had wanted Greer to tell her personally that their
correspondence must end.
''I know this was extremely stupid and I should not have done
it,'' the student said in her statement. ''I don't know what got
into me. I just wanted to get all this stuff out of my head. It is
an emotional thing. I wanted to hug her.''

Israeli minister: Palestinian statehood meaningless without Israeliconsent
By Mark Lavie, Associated Press
[jewish support for democracy, multiculturalism etc. The jew only supports
democracy or
any type of philosphy when it is simultaneously good for himself and detrimental
to his
opponents...
- O.H.]
JERUSALEM (AP) A proclamation of Palestinian independence is
meaningless without Israeli agreement, Israel's justice minister
said Tuesday, a day after Yasser Arafat's government told
Palestinians to prepare for statehood in September.
Yossi Beilin said such a move would leave the Palestinians cut
off from the world, and from each other, noting that Israeli
territory separates the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Beilin, a prime mover in the secret process that led to the
first Israeli-Palestinian accord in 1993, said a unilateral
Palestinian move at this stage could derail important gains.
''We are on the verge of the real thing. We are on the verge of
an agreement with the Palestinians and it would be a very big
mistake if at that moment they decide to unilaterally declare their
own state,'' Beilin told Associated Press Television News.
On Monday, the PLO Central Council called on Arafat to move
toward a declaration of statehood on Sept. 13, the latest target
date for completing a peace treaty with Israel. It did not call for
a unilateral declaration.
But Palestinian officials said such a declaration would not
necessarily be made on Sept. 13 and Arafat has told officials to
consult Palestinian public opinion about the timing.
In a poll conducted before the Central Council decision, 51.6
percent of Palestinians surveyed did not believe a state would be
declared on Sept. 13, while 37.8 percent felt it would happen. The
poll, conducted by the independent JMCC media consulting firm on
June 22-23, questioned 1,200 adults and had a margin of error of 3
percentage points.
Arafat said Tuesday that the PCC's intention was to implement
previous leadership decisions, ''especially the one taken in
Algiers in 1988.'' At that time, before peacemaking with Israel,
the Palestinians unilaterally declared a state but did not outline
the boundaries of the entity.
Israel has warned that if a unilateral declaration is made, it
might retaliate by annexing parts of the West Bank still under its
control, a move that could quickly spiral into violent
confrontation.
Beilin said such a declaration would have little meaning. ''A
Palestinian state will not exist as long as Israel does not
recognize it,'' he told Israel radio.
In peace talks, the Palestinians have said their goal was the
creation of a state in the West Bank and Gaza, with Jerusalem as
its capital. In interim stages, Israel has turned over two-thirds
of the Gaza Strip and 41 percent of the West Bank to Palestinian
control.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's government has indicated
that it is prepared to turn over most of the remaining territory to
the Palestinians, but wants to keep sections where most Israeli
settlers live. Barak has said repeatedly that he will not
relinquish Israeli sovereignty over any part of Jerusalem.
President Clinton spoke by phone to Barak and Arafat on Monday,
Israel radio reported. Clinton is considering hosting a summit
meeting with the two leaders to hammer out a framework for a final
peace treaty. Israel favors a summit, but the Palestinians say the
gaps are still too wide.

Giant cross dominating the city is perceived as provocation bynon-Catholics
By Mirsad Behram, Associated Press

MOSTAR, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) A mammoth cross is casting a
shadow on reconciliation attempts between Muslims and Roman
Catholic Croats in this city battered by bitter secretarian
violence during the Bosnian war.
According to church officials, the 90-foot high cross on Hum
hill celebrates 2000 years of Christianity. For Muslims, however,
the cross stirs recent memories of the 1992-1995 war when Bosnian
Croats shelled the Muslim side of the city from the same hill.
''During the war, they publicly said they were shooting in the
name of the cross,'' said Mehmed, a 35-year-old Muslim, who
declined to give his last name.
In May, a multiethnic government was elected in this city, about
44 miles southwest of Sarajevo. It seemed to be making progress and
even organized a meeting of war veterans from both sides to try and
find some way to cooperate.
Then the cross popped up, visible from almost everywhere in the
town.
''It looks spiteful to me, when you see it in the light of us
believing we were heading toward some better days,'' Milan Jovicic,
a Serb deputy speaker in the common parliament, said Monday.
In a letter to Mostar's Catholic bishop, Ratko Peric, Jovicic
wrote, ''Do not compromise your religious symbols and don't use
them to provoke by putting them on places where they don't belong.
Remember, many innocent lives were taken from that place.''
The bishop never responded and has remained unavailable for
reporters.
International officials who monitor and direct the
implementation of peace in the divided town have also condemned the
construction of the religious symbols.
During a visit to the region last week, Bosnia's U.S. Ambassador
Thomas Miller said crosses on hills and other symbols of religious
intolerance are just ''not to be tolerated.''
Stefo Lehman, spokesman for the U.N. mission in Mostar, went a
step further by saying, ''The most dominant and symbolic structure
in Mostar today should be a reconstructed Old Bridge.''
The Croat Army destroyed the city's famous Old Bridge that had
withstood several wars over more than 500 years in 1993 from the
same hill where the cross now stands.
But for Fatima Sehic, 55, a Muslim woman, the hill will always
remind her of the war.
''From that spot, they shot at me and my children with an
anti-aircraft gun in 1993 as we were burying my husband who was
shot as a civilian.''

With fight against Serbs over, Albanians turn against each other

NOVO SELO, Yugoslavia (AP) Life or death? Another man's fate
lies in the young villager's hands. The young man averts his gaze
as he struggles with the dilemma if he defends the family honor
by killing, he himself becomes the target of revenge.
''I don't know what to say,'' mumbles Iset Maxhuni. ''It's so
difficult to decide.''
Maxhuni's ordeal began three years ago, with the killing of his
brother. As so often among Albanians, it was a matter of honor
the brother had left his wife for her younger sister.
For the sisters' brother, the divorce was a slight that needed
avenging. He was slain and so began yet another blood feud in the
region's violent history of an eye for an eye. Now, it is up to
Maxhuni to avenge his own brother's death by taking a life.
With the blood barely dried little more than a year after the
end of the Serb crackdown on Kosovo's Albanians has come the
revival of Gjakmarrja (djak-MAHR-yeh), or blood feud killings.
With it have come those whose mission is to try to prevent a
prevent new cycles of bloodshed. One of them is historian Zekeria
Cana, who crisscrosses Kosovo trying to reconcile feuding families.
Under decades of communist rule with little tolerance for
Gjakmarrja, deadly family feuds were rare, both in Kosovo and
neighboring Albania. But communism itself is now history, and
nearly everyone has a gun. Old blood debts are being collected, and
new blood is being shed.
The code was first laid down nearly 600 years ago by a northern
Albanian prince: If a man kills another, a male member of the
victim's family must respond in kind. It became a popular form of
justice in a highly armed, tribal society where a man's honor was
everything. Whole families were wiped out by feuds that sometimes
went on for generations
Not every killing has the potential to erupt into a blood feud,
and most Albanians continue to reject the whole idea. But the code
has experienced a revival first in Albania, fed there by the
chaos and armed insurrection of the late 1990s, and now in Kosovo.
Here, with the Serbs vanquished, unity again can give way to the
everyday reality of family against family; Albanian against
Albanian.
''Whenever the Albanian people are in danger of extermination,
they unite to fight the common enemy,'' says Cana, 75. ''But now,
the wound has started to reopen.''
Worse, he says, the brutality of the killings has increased
because society has been traumatized by the war against the Serbs.
Knives and axes are increasingly used instead of firearms. The
''honorable'' tradition of shooting someone face-to-face is
increasingly ignored in favor of a bullet in the back.
Cana says he is working on more than 100 cases.
First he tries to secure the promise of a ''Besa'' an oath by
the family seeking revenge to suspend the threat of killing. This
allows those under the gun to live and work without fear for the
duration of the Besa.
''Then I try for true reconciliation forgiving,'' says Cana.
''But sometimes families are only ready for that after you allow
several killings to happen.''
Cana's quest has brought him recognition across Kosovo. As he
drinks a beer in cafe in Pristina, the Kosovo capital, waiter
Gazmen Kaciru asks him to intervene in the case of an uncle under
threat of death because he killed two men who tried to kidnap a
female relative. Cana agrees, murmuring: ''A particularly ugly
case.''
Later in the day, his search for reconciliation takes him to
Novo Selo, 10 miles northwest of Pristina. There, Cana sits in
Maxhuni's spartan living room along with the village elder. His
5-year-old son on his lap, Maxhuni squirms under the gaze of the
other two men.
''Do you want him to grow up without a father?'' Cana asks,
pointing to the boy. ''I have seen many children grow up without
fathers, killed for a matter of honor. Look at this kid he should
live in peace.''
The turbaned village elder joins in. ''Life goes on,'' says the
elder, Haxhi Ferid Zekoli, 79. ''It is time to forget and
forgive.''
Besa ends for the killer in two days. And Maxhuni, 32, a
gentle-looking man with friendly brown eyes, knows what's at stake.
If he kills the man who killed his brother, the man's kin are free
to kill him.
''And if that happens who will take care of them?'' he asks,
pointing to the preschool children scampering in and out of the
living room some of them kids of his dead brother.
After 15 minutes of gentle persuasion, Maxhuni promises to
deliver an answer to the village elder following consultation with
his family, which must take the decision collectively.
''I hope the answer will be good,'' he says softly. ''I want it
to be good.''

Wounds of Mexico's ruling party go deeper than the presidency
By Lisa J. Adams, Associated Press
[mexico - like the US is nothing more than a judeo-satellite state - albeit the
Mexicans are more openly treated as slaves by
their jewish masters...]
MEXICO CITY (AP) Losing the presidency for the first time in
its 71-year history was a painful blow to Mexico's ruling party.
But the wounds inflicted on the Institutional Revolutionary
Party, or PRI, in Sunday's national and local elections ran much
deeper. Voters also stripped the party of its majority in the
Senate and ensured that it would no longer be the largest political
force in the House.
With 93 percent of the vote counted late Monday, the opposition
National Action Party of President-Elect Vicente Fox had 38.3
percent of the Senate vote to the PRI's 36.3, and it had 38.4
percent of the House to the PRI's 36.6.
''Losing control over the Senate is basically the end of the
PRI,'' said Armand Peschard-Sverdrup, director of the Mexico
Project at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and
International Studies.
In addition to confirming important Cabinet positions nominated
by the president, the Senate is responsible for approving reforms.
''The fact that they've lost it really is going to enable the
opposition to push through reforms that will open up the political
process forever,'' Peschard-Sverdrup said.
Sunday's elections also saw the PRI lose control of Ecatepec,
Mexico's third-largest city with 1.6 million residents, stripping
the party of control in any of the country's 12 largest cities.
The PRI, the world's longest-governing party, has dominated
nearly all aspects of Mexican society, becoming a force that many
equated with Mexico's national identity. The PRI's colors are
identical to those of the country.
But that dominance has been slowly eroded. Over the past decade,
opposition parties have won governorships and the Mexico City
mayor's seat.
Even before the unexpected and unthinkable loss of ruling-party
presidential candidate Francisco Labastida, the PRI had been having
discussions about dissolving and reinventing itself,
Peschard-Sverdrup said.
Labastida's inability to convince voters that the ''New PRI''
could be a force for change combined with the party's
overwhelming losses at the state and local levels around the
country have probably sped up that process.
''I think it's going to make the discussion resonate much louder
within the walls of the PRI,'' he said.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) Having earned a doctorate in political
science from New York University, Catalin Cretu is looking for a
job not in the United States but back home in Romania.
That hasn't always been the case in a country still struggling
to overcome the economic crisis left by the collapse of communism
in 1989.
In the past 10 years, almost 400,000 Romanians have left this
country for greater opportunities in the United States or
elsewhere.
Now, some of the best-educated are deciding to return home,
lured by job prospects or the chance to participate in transforming
their homeland.
The U.S. ambassador to Romania, James Rosapepe, has started a
plan to encourage Romanians enrolled at American universities to
return home after completing their studies. The U.S. Agency for
International Development has awarded a grant to the International
Research and Exchanges Board to aid the project.
On Monday, some 300 students attended a symposium dedicated to
young Romanians who have studied abroad. Of the 3,000 Romanians who
study abroad, 2,200 are in the United States.
Gathered in a room at the 17th-century Cotroceni presidential
palace, some of the young Romanians said they hoped they could help
change the old, communist-era mentality in their homeland, drawing
on experience gained from studying at Western universities.
''I want to work in national security and in making defense
policy,'' said Cretu, 33. ''And this is the only place I can do it.
There are great opportunities here that I would not have outside.''
Regardless of his patriotism and enthusiasm, Cretu admits he's
worried about finding housing and earning a decent wage problems
that have driven away many talented Romanians. The average monthly
salary in Romania is $94.
Still, he hopes to get a research grant.
The two-day symposium, to be followed by a job fair, was hosted
by President Emil Constantinescu, who was rector of Bucharest
University before he became president.
''The brain drain is a reality,'' Constantinescu said. ''But we
must not exaggerate it. Rather we must talk about the free
circulation of (Romania's) elite, which brings us closer to the
West.'' Constantinescu's son, Dragos, studied in Belgium in the
1990s before returning to set up a children's foundation.
Sandra Pralong lived in Switzerland and the United States before
returning to Romania twice once in 1990 to run the local office
of a private foundation and again in 1999 to join Constantinescu's
staff as an adviser.
''I feel I am helping to build the state,'' said Pralong, who
studied at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts
University in Boston. ''I bring with me a different way to approach
and solve problems, a different vision on how the world works.''

Fox election marks change of style in Mexican presidency
By Eloy O. Aguilar, Associated Press
["fox" clearnly isn't a mexican - my guess is that he is either a jew or a
goy-front . . .]
MEXICO CITY (AP) There will be cowboy boots and hats and much
less solemnity in the Los Pinos presidential office when Vicente
Fox becomes Mexico's president.
Fox, a rancher and businessman from the state of Guanajuato,
differs much from the traditional ceremonious presidents of the
past.
For one thing, he hates ties and always wears cowboy boots. For
another, he has a sense of humor and an ability to laugh at
himself.
Before Fox, Mexican presidents hardly ever laughed in public,
often assumed the imperial attitude their collaborators expected,
were very careful of their language and generally came from
academia or the legal profession.
Fox is Lyndon B. Johnson without the late president's
congressional experience. Like the school teacher LBJ, Fox comes
from a profession that has not produced presidents. He is a
business administrator and rose to manager of Coca Cola in Mexico
and then joined the family's boot-making business before entering
politics.
He is called stubborn by his opponents and opinion makers and
he proudly admits it is a trait that even his mother could not
change.
His language is often the language of the ranch rough and
salty. He has even called some of his opponents black snakes and
toads.
''I may stop being vulgar,'' he told his main opponent Francisco
Labastida in a nationally televised debate, ''but you will never
stop being corrupt and lousy administrators.''
After the election he was asked by a reporter whether he would
continue to use his gruff language. ''I am sure something will slip
out once in a while.''
Asked about wearing boots as president, he answered: ''Until the
day I die.''
The day before he was elected, Fox ''eased tensions'' with a
four-hour horse ride with his bodyguards.
On election night, as he spoke before thousands of celebrating
followers, he was offered a bottle of champagne to drink. He tasted
it, put it down and said: ''Frankly, I prefer tequila.''
He already did away with the tradition that the first lady is
always the head of the Integral Family Development office that
deals with programs for poor families. Fox is divorced and, for
protocol matters, his daughter Ana Cristina will act as first lady.
When asked why she would not take the job, Ana Cristina, a law
student, said it should be handled by professional experts.
At work, Fox is described by his collaborators as a man who can
break up tension during long meetings with a joke.
''He creates an easy atmosphere for others to work,'' said
Carlos Salazar, who deals with Fox's international relations. ''He
does not stand on ceremony. He is very relaxed, but also very
focused.''

Military encounters armory raiders in northern Malaysian jungle
By Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Soldiers and members of a gang
that raided two military armories fought in the jungles of northern
Malaysia on Tuesday, police said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or fatalities from
the 90-minute battle.
Hundreds of military personnel and armed police officers threw a
ring around a densely forested area in Perak state, about 45 miles
south of one of the camps that was raided on Sunday, the national
news agency Bernama said, quoting police.
Fifteen men dressed as military officers raided the army camps
Sunday, barking orders to the sentries to let them inside. The men
took grenade launchers, more than 100 M-16 and Steyr rifles and
thousands of rounds of ammunition.
It was not clear whether the weapons were meant for criminal
gangs operating within Malaysia or for sale overseas. Malaysian
Defense Minister Najib Tun Razak refused to speculate about the
possible motives.

A year after boycott threat, Burger King colors still fly in Jewishsettlement
By Ron Kampeas, Associated Press
[burger king is owned by the same company that owns Guiness beer - it is
an Irish company spearheaded by an Irish Jew. naturally we can expect
these people to be liars and double back on their commitments. The parent
company i htink is called Diageo www.diageo.com]
MAALEH ADUMIM, West Bank (AP) Nearly a year after Burger King
ordered its Israeli franchisee to remove its brand-name from an
outlet in this Jewish West Bank settlement, the company colors
still flew here Monday, and the franchisee said the issue was still
under ''clarification.''
The presence of Burger King in the settlement just east of
Jerusalem drew threats of a worldwide boycott last August from Arab
and Muslim groups.
Miami-based Burger King, owned by Britain's Diageo PLC, said it
had been misled by its Israeli franchisee into believing that the
Maaleh Adumim branch was inside Israel, and not on disputed land.
Burger King accused Rikamor Ltd., the Israeli franchisee, of
breach of contract and ordered it to remove the company's corporate
insignia from the Maaleh Adumim branch, a highly public rebuke that
brought an end to threats of a boycott.
Initially, Rikamor said it would comply, noting at the same time
that did not mean that the restaurant would have to shut down.
On Monday, the red and white Burger King insignia was still
featured prominently on the facade of the Maaleh Adumim mall.
Inside, staff wore purple Burger King uniforms and sold the
company's trademarked products, including the flame-broiled
Whopper. The restaurant also advertised Burger King promotions.
Rikamor spokesman Ran Rahaf would only say, ''The topic is being
clarified.''
Saying Burger King has backed down from a commitment to have its
brand removed from the site, a U.S. group, American Muslims for
Jerusalem, announced plans Monday to renew its call for a boycott
of the fast-food restaurant at a news conference in Washington on
Wednesday.
Burger King officials could not immediately be reached for
comment; the company's headquarters were closed Monday for the July
Fourth holiday.
Maaleh Adumim, a town of 25,000, functions as a suburb of
Jerusalem, and Prime Minister Ehud Barak has said it will be
annexed to Israel in a final settlement with the Palestinians.
Palestinian officials, speaking off the record, acknowledge that
is likely but until a final settlement is in place, they will
strongly protest international investment in Jewish settlements in
disputed lands.
Jewish settlers had threatened a counter-boycott if Burger King
complied with the Arab and Muslim demand to remove the corporate
insignia from the Maaleh Adumim mall.
[aside from being unhealthy - fast food is a form of judeo-western culture - and
it must
be stamped out wherever it rears it's ugly head.]

Two projectiles fired toward U.S. military base in Tokyo
By Associated Press

TOKYO (AP) Two pieces of metal were fired from small steel
pipes toward a U.S. military base on the outskirts of Tokyo in what
Japanese police suspect was attempted sabotage by leftist radicals.
There were no reports of injuries or damage inside or outside
Yokota Air Base, but police were still searching to find out where
the projectiles had landed when they were fired around 11:30 p.m.
Monday, said Kazumasa Kuwana, a local police spokesman.
A runway on the base is about a half-mile from where the pieces
of metal were fired from the grounds of a construction company,
Kuwana said.
Police found a pair of steel pipes, each measuring 2 inches
around 21 inches long, and partially stuck into the earth on the
grounds of the company.
Kuwana said fragmented cables and a timing device apparently
used in the launching were also discovered nearby.
Police suspect anti-U.S. military base radicals or leftist
radicals opposed to this month's meeting of the Group of Eight in
Okinawa might have been behind the firing of the steel pipes.
Leaders from the United States, Japan, Russia, Britain, Germany,
France, Italy and Canada will hold a three-day summit on the
southern island starting July 21.
About 47,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Japan as part of a
security agreement between the two countries, and some Okinawans
have complained about the many bases located there.
For years, small leftist groups in Japan have complained about
the power that the G-8 enjoys. In 1986, during the last summit by
the group in Japan, several small mortar shells were fired at the
accommodation where the leaders were staying, and police accused
the radicals of firing them.

Jewish memorial defaced on eve of Holocaust commemoration
By Associated Press
[ Jewish self-persecution to drum up 'persecution' claims and resolidify their
'victim' status.
One common Jewish trick is to 'vandalize' or paint 'swastikas' on their own
Synagogues, or
to break some tombstones. To anyone who has any knowledge of real Neo-Nazis, the
entire concept of someone painting a 'Swastika' on a Synagogue or Jewish
Tombstone is a
joke. First of all, the term 'Swastika' is a Yiddish term - no real Nazi would
ever
refer to the Solar Wheel as a 'Swastika' except when speaking to someone who
doesn't
know any better. Second of all, a true Neo-Nazi would never paint a very sacred
and
holy symbol upon something that is constructed to pay homage to an enemy. Most
of
the time when Synagogues and Jewish Tombstones are broken or vandalized with
'Swastikas'
painted on them it's either Jews seeking a convenient way to claim 'persecution'
or
idiot kids who imagine they are Neo-Nazis but really have no knowledge of the
philosophy
at all. In addition to 'fake Neo-Nazi Vandals' who are really Jews, some Nazi
groups
are in fact run by Jews seeking to simularly drum up their 'victim' status,
through
petty yet highly publicized acts such as spraying graphitti. - O.H.]
RIGA, Latvia (AP) Vandals painted swastikas and other
anti-Semitic graffiti Monday on the remains of a Riga synagogue
that had been burned down by the Nazis during World War II.
Police confirmed that the graffiti was discovered Monday, a day
before Latvia holds its nationwide Holocaust commemoration.
On July 4, 1941, the Nazi army torched Riga's central synagogue,
burning to death dozens of Jews trapped inside. The stone remains
of the building, now overgrown with grass and weeds, were left
standing as a memorial.
Police have no suspects.
Latvia and its Baltic Sea neighbors, Estonia and Lithuania, were
overrun by the Soviet Union, then Nazi Germany during World War II,
and suffered mightily at the hands of both.
After annexing the country in 1940, the Soviets deported
thousands of Latvians to Siberia, where many were shot. The Nazis
occupied Latvia from 1941 to 1944 and murdered nearly 80,000 Jews,
with Latvians as well as Germans taking part in the killings.
The Red Army returned in 1945, deporting thousands more and
staying until the Baltic states won independence in 1991.

Caribbean leaders grapple with threats of sanctions for moneylaundering
By Eileen Mcnamara, Associated Press
[ Humanitarian Organizations as a front cover for Jewish subversion and
manipulation.
The Jew often used various humanitarian organizations as a cover for it's own
interests.
Even outwardly, these organizations only help those who the Jews deem as
friends, and
often will point out injustices when they are convenient for the Jews but
totally ignore
similar injustices when perpetrated by Jews or allies of Jews.
- O.H.]
CANOUAN, St. Vincent (AP) Caribbean leaders on Monday debated
a united response to possible sanctions by industrialized nations
after a report recently listed several of the islands as havens for
money laundering and tax evasion.
The report by the Paris-based Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development named five Caribbean countries as
centers for international money-laundering by criminal groups. It
cited several more for lax banking rules that allowed wealthy
individuals and companies to hide funds from tax collectors in
developed nations.
Developed countries have threatened sanctions unless financial
controls are tightened endangering offshore banking industries
that have brought a measure of wealth to these resource-poor
countries.
''They are out to defend their interests,'' Dominica's Prime
Minister Rosie Douglas said Monday, echoing criticism that the rich
countries' high-minded stance amounts to little more than a
disguised effort to recoup lost tax revenue. ''We will not give up
our sovereign rights.''
Still, he conceded that the 15-member Caribbean Community, whose
leaders began four days of talks here Monday, must take the charges
seriously. ''We'll have to review our tax legislation and how it
affects Europe and the United States.''
''Some corrective measures are needed in Dominica,'' he said.
''We know in a couple of cases there was money laundering, and we
can't have that.''
The United Nations estimates that $600 billion in criminal funds
is hidden from law enforcement officials every year by such money
laundering methods as moving it through offshore accounts, and
about $60 billion of that passes through Caribbean banking centers.
There are no firm figures of U.S. tax revenue lost to offshore
tax havens, but Britain estimates its losses at about $1.6 billion
a year.
The United States has indicated it will look at the OECD lists,
as well as its own studies, when deciding whether to punish
countries under new legislation being considered in Congress.
France also is considering similar legislation.
At opening ceremonies for the summit on Sunday, Premier Sir
James Mitchell of the host nation St. Vincent condemned the
measures under consideration as a ''direct threat to the region's
economic base and stability.''
Mitchell said that while the region will cooperate to stop money
laundering, developing countries should be allowed to offer tax
concessions as a way to draw desperately needed business and
investment.
''We in the Caribbean do not aspire to be a refuge for drug
barons and money launderers,'' said Mitchell, who is current
chairman of Caribbean Community. ''We are not doing anything
illegal or immoral. Tax competition is about whose treasury gets
the money.''
Five of 15 alleged money laundering centers were identified in
the Caribbean, and 15 of 35 countries listed as harmful tax havens
are Caribbean nations or territories of Britain, the Netherlands
and the United States. The OECD gave them 12 months to work with
the organization to eliminate ''harmful features'' of their tax
regimes, or face sanctions.

OPEC source: Saudi to pump more oil immediately
By Donna Abu-Nasr, Associated Press
[ Over-inflated Gas prices. The occasional rise in gas prices that occur ever
several years
could be totally erased if the Jews and their lackies in NATO and The West would
put aside
their sadistic and vengeful attitude towards oil-rich countries which are at
odds with
Israel, and allow them to make money off of selling oil. We would not have our
current
gas crunch if the Iraqis where allowed to sell their oil fairly to the world.
The
Jew-manipulated UN did agree to an oil-for-food program with Iraq but when Iraq
ordered
millions of dollars of spare machinery parts for their NATO-destroyed oil
refineries,
the UN essentially took the Iraqis money and did not give them the parts the
needed; in
effect the Jew-manipulated UN stole millions of dollars from Iraq and that
combined
with the economic retstrictions, prevents Iraq from selling it's oil to the
world
and allowing the price of oil to come down. Instead the Jews do business with
their
'bought-and-paid-for' currupt goy-front Sheiks in Saudi Arabia.
- O.H.]
ASWAN, Egypt (AP) Saudi Arabia intends to put 500,000
additional barrels of oil on the market every day starting
immediately to try to get soaring prices down to $25 a barrel, an
official from an OPEC delegation said Monday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the
Saudis were acting because they were the only producers with enough
reserves to increase production. He also said the Saudis would move
to decrease production if prices fell below $25.
Prices are now hovering around $30 a barrel.
Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates are the only other OPEC
members with enough capacity to quickly produce and export
significant additional amounts of crude.
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer and exporter, had
reportedly been trying to persuade other producers to raise exports
above and beyond the additional 708,000 daily barrels agreed to at
a meeting in Vienna last month of the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries.
Oil prices have not gone down, despite the increase.
Industry analysts reacted skeptically to the possibility the
Saudis would increase production unilaterally.
''It sounds too desperate for the Saudis. They wouldn't want to
be seen to act ... without some of the others coming along with
them,'' said Leo Drollas, chief economist of the London-based
Center for Global Energy Studies.
Jeremy Elden of Lehman Brothers in London said it would seem
''slightly odd'' for the Saudis to increase production on their
own. Nonetheless, Elden suggested that the increase would bring
prices down.
Chris Stavros, an energy analyst for Paine Webber in New York,
suggested the move, if taken, might push prices down even more than
desired.
''My feeling was it was only a matter of time before oil prices
started to fall on their own, anyway,'' he said. ''(OPEC officials)
always have a difficult time trying to micromanage the oil price.
My fear is they're doing a little bit too much, and prices could
fall even more further on.''
Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi told his country's official news
agency, in comments published Monday, that the Saudis were seeking
''in any way we can to bring the prices down from their current
level to the target level of $25 per barrel. ... If the price does
not decrease, Saudi Arabia, in consultation with other producers,
will increase production by 500,000 barrels a day within the next
few days.''
Saudi Arabia has excess production capacity of 2.3 million
barrels per day that can be put on the market in a short period of
time if necessary, another OPEC official had said on condition of
anonymity earlier this week. As of July the kingdom's quota is 8.25
million barrels per day.
The Saudi economy is 70 percent dependent on oil revenues. Saudi
officials fear they will be hurt in the long run if prices remain
high. They need stable prices to plan spending, and high prices
could reduce demand and spur consumers to turn to alternative
fuels.
Pressure is building in the United States, the world's largest
oil consumer and a close Saudi ally, for relief from sharply higher
gasoline prices.
Earlier Monday, a Qatari oil official said OPEC was considering
a production increase of even more than 500,000 barrels a day if
its basket price of crude sharply exceeds $28.
Previously, officials had said OPEC members were considering an
increase of 500,000 barrels a day if the OPEC basket price topped
$28 for 20 consecutive trading days.
On June 20, the OPEC basket price broke above $28 per barrel and
has held above that level since in a range of between
$28.97-$30.10, according to OPEC.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, light, sweet crude for
August delivery which trades at roughly $2 higher than the OPEC
crude basket closed Friday at $32.50 a barrel. Trading was closed
Monday for the Independence Day holiday weekend.
August contracts of North Sea Brent crude rallied by 53 cents
from Friday's close to $31.10 per barrel in trading on the
International Petroleum Exchange in London on Monday.
OPEC oil ministers are set to meet in Vienna Sept. 10. They had
not been expected to take decisions on oil output before then.
OPEC members are Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates,
Kuwait, Qatar, Nigeria, Libya, Algeria, Venezuela and Indonesia.
Iraq also is a member but has not participated in recent OPEC
production pacts.

Parliament considers bill to exempt ultra-Orthodox from army
By Mark Lavie, Associated Press
[true to jewish tradition - real jews are always cowards who dont fight
physically with arms,
prefering better to use economic, psychological, spiritual or covert warfare
instead]
JERUSALEM (AP) A bill that allows ultra-Orthodox men to skip
or shorten military service, enshrining into law a situation that
has long rankled secular Israelis, was set to clear a first hurdle
in parliament Monday.
Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who once advocated drafting all young
Israelis into the army, had to explain why he changed his mind,
without stating the real reason coalition politics.
The proposed law would allow ultra-Orthodox men to decide for
themselves, at age 23, whether to continue full-time Torah study or
report for shortened army service. The vote Monday was a first
reading. Barak pledged to consider tightening the exemptions before
the bill comes before the house for its final readings.
The debate showed the deep divisions in Israeli society as
special interest groups strive to protect their fiefdoms at the
expense of others.
The issue of drafting ultra-Orthodox men is the most emotional
symbol of the chasm between segments of society. Secular and modern
Orthodox Israelis object to facing the dangers of army service and
inconvenience of reserve duty while others are exempt.
Israeli men are conscripted for three years and women serve 21
months. When the deferments were first granted with the creation of
the state in 1948, they applied to about 400 Torah scholars. Today
about 30,000 have draft exemptions.
Ultra-Orthodox make up about 7 percent of the population. They
believe Torah study, not the army, protects the existence of the
Jewish people. Addressing the parliament, Moshe Gafni of the
ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party declared that ''people
who do not study Torah should serve in the army.''
Outside the Knesset, or parliament, hunger-striking veterans of
army service, including some wounded in battle, expressed their
disgust with what they considered another sellout to the
ultra-Orthodox politicians who hold the political balance of power.
''You're doing what you do every day, extortion and evasion of
responsibility,'' thundered Yosef ''Tommy'' Lapid of the
anti-religious Shinui party, shaking his fist at the podium in the
direction of members of the ultra-Orthodox Shas, the main backers
of the exemption bill.
Ten days ago Shas nearly brought Barak's government down over
funding for religious schools.
Monday's debate followed another threat from Shas, Barak's
largest partner with 17 seats in the 120-member parliament. If the
draft exemption bill was not brought to a vote, said Shas, the
party would once again consider bringing down the government.
Barak had to impose party discipline to force his members to
vote for the bill. One of them, Avi Yehezkel, charging that the law
leaves military service to a ''majority of suckers,'' said he would
be in the parliamentary bathroom when the vote was taken.

Iranians saying `no' to hard-liners's rules
By Anwar Faruqi, Associated Press
[Democratic 'Student' Movements. The International jew uses hired 'student
activists' to push it's agenda in countries
that are not as suseptable to their control. The approach of using front
organizations,
and front idealogies is not new. The use of 'students' and 'political gangs' is
very
prevalent in South East Asia. Usually these groups are spearheaded by a Non-jew
who is
a front man and who receives millions of dollars from his jewish orchestrators
to
operate his organization and destabilize whatever society he is in and
'Westernize' it.

- all these 'Revolutions' where paid for by the leaders of the jewish people to

they were
brainwashed into believing is the right way of living. In many cases the term

is a misnomer and many of the riots and protests are usually a small organized
group of
hired thugs payed for by the jews who sheep-herd the larger mass of brainwashed
students
into marching and rioting. - O.H.]
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) In a nation so mindful of manners that
strangers in the bus apologize for turning their backs to
passengers in the rear, many Iranians feel Islamic hard-liners are
overstepping the bounds of good behavior: They've been asked to
leave, but won't go.
People felt they were showing religious conservatives the door
when they elected moderate cleric Mohammad Khatami as president
three years ago. They underlined the point by drubbing hard-line
candidates in last year's municipal elections, and again by giving
Khatami loyalists control of parliament in February's vote.
But the hard-liners are holding on to the considerable powers
they still have, and using them to try to stifle reform.
Still, after fearing the conservatives for 20 years, Iranians
are increasingly ignoring them and flouting many of their
puritanical laws.
In parks where families go to cool off on hot evenings among
trees and bubbling fountains, young lovers stroll hand-in-hand
despite hard-line rules banning physical contact. Families sit
cross-legged in the grass playing cards that are still officially
outlawed.
Hard-liners may hate all things Western, but well-to-do girls
are being wooed by colorful billboards promoting Givenchy's new
perfume Indecence.
Short, figure-hugging overcoats are replacing the manteau, a
long, loose smock women are supposed to wear over trousers or long
skirts. Headscarves often are pushed back so they don't cover all
of a woman's hair as required by dress laws.
''I think I've got the shortest manteau in all of Tehran. Other
women flash V-signs when they pass me in the street,'' said Simin
Aram, a housewife in her late 40s. ''We are breathing a lot more
freely than we have in a long time.''
In the shops, mannequins with bosoms are replacing the wire
hangers that once were solely allowed for displays. The owner of a
factory that makes the dolls said he was testing the limits of the
new freedoms by putting larger breasts on his new models.
At chic Internet cafes that have mushroomed around Tehran in the
year since the Web first became accessible to ordinary Iranians,
young men and women download whatever they like without censorship.
Net surfers are as interested in sites about soccer Iran is crazy
over the sport as in those about sex.
Iran's predominantly young population is bursting with pent-up
energy despite the tough times from living in a struggling economy.
Baby boomers, born after the 1979 Islamic revolution when a fall in
living standards dramatically fired the birth rate, are now
teen-agers.
The power of their will first exploded in the May 1997
presidential election, when the hard-liners made a crucial mistake:
introducing a little-known moderate cleric against their own
heavyweight champion to spice up the contest for an apathetic
public.
That cleric, Khatami, refused to follow the conservatives'
script, instead campaigning on a promise of democracy and
triggering a stampede to the polls that put him in office with more
than 20 million votes. In the first fair test of their popularity
since the revolution, the hard-liners were stunned by the sheer
force of opposition.
Since then, Iranians have been gradually claiming the spoils of
victory by beginning to live the way they want, enjoying simple
pleasures denied so long.
Women are freer to express their sexuality, with college girls
wearing makeup in class for the first time. Among city teen-agers,
dating is de rigeur.
In a scene in the movie hit ''Shokaran'' (''Hemlock''), a
strikingly made-up woman startles a driver by slipping into his car
and giving him the eye. It's the first time prostitution has been
depicted on screen in two decades and it ignites applause and hoots
from young audiences, aware that money really can buy love on the
streets these days.
Late nights in a small street that runs beside the Shahr Theater
in Tehran's downtown, men in headscarves and tight overcoats
daintily pace the pavement transvestites emerging from the
closet.
The drug addicts that had claimed the benches outside have moved
elsewhere now that the multistage theater is once again alive with
drama, which was nearly killed off under the hard-liners' cultural
restrictions.
In ''Khat'e Eshq'' (''The Line of Love''), an actress breaks
into a song and dance, astounding a journalist visiting after
nearly a year. Women had not done either in front of a male
audience since 1979.
The theme from Hollywood's ''Love Story'' accompanies another
play, breaking a taboo on Western music in public places. Audiences
are packing in.
''If we had 30 theaters like this, we could fill them all,''
director Farhad Ayeesh said with admitted hyperbole about the
sold-out performances of his play ''F-A-U-L-T.'' A graduate of the
University of California at Berkeley, Ayeesh returned from the
United States two years ago because he can now work more freely at
home.
In another part of town, singer Nooshin Aghighi and her all-male
orchestra carry a mixed audience into a trance with a rendition of
Jalaleddin Rumi, a 13th century Muslim mystic whose poetry and
thought have admirers the world over.
At the new, chic Monsoon restaurant that dishes out Asian food
in one of the capital's upper-class suburbs, Iranians pick at
chicken curry or stir-fried beef with chopsticks. Much of the
conversation is in English, an illustration some of the 2 million
Iranians who fled the Islamic revolution are returning to test the
new freedoms.
Iranians, always polite, are now even more welcoming of
foreigners. Some of the tourists who fill the hotels are Americans
taking advantage of a thaw in relations that was initiated by
Khatami in 1997.
Western tourist guidebooks expound on the great Persian
civilization that dates back to the middle of the 6th century B.C.,
but don't begin to explain the elaborate delicacy of Iranian
etiquette.
After-dinner goodbyes initiate with apologies for the low
quality of the food and for a meal too modest for a guest of such
distinction. When strangers turn around in public buses and shared
taxis to apologize to the person in back, the required response:
''Please, a flower is a flower seen in any direction.''
So far, Iranians have been polite about telling the hard-liners
they have outlived their welcome. The last time this nation got
mad, it overthrew the authoritarian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and
kicked out the American retinue of advisers and military men who
had helped keep him on the throne for 38 years.
Despite the anti-American tone of the revolution, the November
1979 seizure of the U.S. Embassy, in which 52 Americans were taken
hostage for 444 days by revolutionary militants, is not a chapter
most Iranians are proud of. They always have liked Americans. Their
differences have been with the U.S. government that forced the shah
on them.
Whether or not Iran will resume ties with the United States will
be decided in the new parliament, the first to be dominated by
reformists since the revolution.
Iranians refer to the small clique of hard-liners making their
last stand to retain control of the judiciary, military and
broadcast networks as the ''power mafia.'' Its godfathers are said
to be former President Hashemi Rafsanjani and former Intelligence
Minister Ali Fallahiyan.
The hard-liners do have power to wield.
Akbar Ganji, an investigative journalist, was jailed in April
for probing the 1998 murder of five dissidents at the hands of
Intelligence Ministry agents. Ganji traced the murders to
Rafsanjani and Fallahiyan, and printed the account in newspapers.
He also accused the godfathers of political assassinations both at
home and abroad.
With the circle tightening around them, the hard-liners have
used their remaining power to shut down 19 pro-democracy newspapers
since April and jailed dozens of reformist journalists and
intellectuals. Iranians miss their newspapers and consider those
imprisoned as heroes.
Yet, while the reformists' lines of communication have been
damaged, their message is getting through. ''The Red Eminence,''
Ganji's book about political killings, is in its 27th edition,
breaking all sales records in the four months it has been out.
Many Iranians say they will light candles in their windows on
July 8 in remembrance of a student uprising against the hard-liners
last year that resulted in the deaths of three protesters in the
worst unrest since the revolution. No one knows where the call for
that gesture against the hard-liners originated.
At his studio in northern Tehran, artist Parviz Kalantari shows
off ''Joseph's Coat,'' a depiction of the killings. The red-stained
shirt plastered on a white canvas expresses his anger at the deaths
and stands as his protest against the hard-liners.

Gay pride festival opens in Rome
By Candice Hughes, Associated Press
[Behind the popularizing of every social perversion is always a jew. Hitler
once wrote that
at the bottom of every abscess you will find a maggot and at the bottom of every
social
perversion you will find a jew.
- O.H.]
ROME (AP) Pride and prejudice. Rome is in for a week of both.
World Pride 2000, a weeklong festival celebrating gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender life, was beginning Saturday with a gala
opening concert and a fistful of angry anti-gay demonstrations.
In many cities, the festival wouldn't raise so much as an
eyebrow. But Rome is the center of the Roman Catholic world and
the center of that world's Holy Year, the 2000th anniversary of the
birth of Christ.
The Vatican has been open in its disapproval, setting a tone of
intolerance that has made the festival as much a political event as
a party.
Rightist politicians, neo-fascists and conservative Catholic
groups have been relentless in their anti-gay pronouncements. The
city withdrew its official patronage and the premier of Italy spoke
out publicly against World Pride.
Festival organizers say the outcry has boomeranged, creating a
groundswell of support and sympathy. They recently upped their
estimate of the number of people who would attend from 200,000 to
300,000.
The controversy has also provoked the most public discussion of
homosexuality Italy has ever seen.
Newspapers and magazines have been crammed with articles some
pro, some con, some neutral. State television plans to cover some
festival events, which include concerts, a fashion show, movies,
round-table discussions and a parade July 8.
People in public life have begun to talk about their own
homosexuality something never seen here before.
A Cabinet minister came out, declaring himself bisexual. Fashion
designer Egon Furstenberg, a member of the ultra-rich,
ultra-powerful Agnelli family, did the same. In an interview
Saturday in the daily La Repubblica, Furstenberg, who has a wife
and two children, said his homosexuality had been an open secret
anyway.
''My children always knew, as did their mother,'' he told the
newspaper. ''I was always quite open.''
World Pride 2000 opened Saturday night with a philharmonic
concert and a ceremony presided over by the event's glamorous
''godmother,'' actress Maria Grazia Cucinotta.
The anti-gays also geared up.
Vowing not to ''cede even a centimeter to the gays,'' the
neo-fascist group Forza Nuova marched through central Rome
''against the homosexual culture and for the defense of the
traditional family.''
Several hundred shouting demonstrators paraded under the
watchful eyes of police bearing signs with slogans like: ''Fruits?
Yes, thanks, but only in fruit salad!''
A conservative Catholic group, the Lepanto Cultural Center, had
organized a torchlight procession for Saturday night. The center
has branded World Pride 2000 as a ''clear provocation against the
pope and the Catholic church.''
The Vatican, which teaches that homosexual acts are a sin,
appears especially offended by the festival because it comes amid a
Holy Year. Vatican officials say religious pilgrims flocking to
Rome will be offended at the sight of homosexuals and they wanted
the festival stopped.
The city has tried to straddle the fence.
It didn't cancel World Pride, fearing an international outcry
over civil liberties. At the same time, it withdraw funding and
official sponsorship and restricted festival venues.
The big showdown could come at the July 8 parade. Festival
organizers are determined to march to the Colosseum in the very
heart of Rome. The city wants them to stop short, at the Circus
Maximus.
The neo-fascists have promised a confrontation at the Colosseum
if the marchers defy the city. ''Gays at the Colosseum?'' said one
Forza Nuova banner displayed Saturday. ''With lions inside!''

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) A prosecutor has ordered a well-known
liberal sociologist who holds dual U.S.-Egyptian citizenship
detained for 15 days, accusing him of working to harm Egypt's
image, the man's lawyer said Saturday.
Saad Eddin Ibrahim, professor of sociology at the American
University in Cairo, will be questioned until authorities decide if
they have enough evidence to indict him, said his lawyer, Hafez abu
Saada. The charges authorities have mentioned carry long prison
sentences, abu Saada said.
While Egyptian authorities often detain rights activists, it is
rare that an academic of Ibrahim's standing is arrested.
Speaking by mobile telephone from the state security
prosecutor's office in Cairo where he was being held, Ibrahim said
security police detained him and three assistants Friday night.
Prosecutors have charged him with preparing a documentary about
elections that harms Egypt's image, receiving foreign funds without
government permission and forging an election ballot, Ibrahim said.
He said the ballot was a dummy made expressly for the film.
''This is the price of freedom and working for the benefit of
the public that we have to pay,'' he said. ''May all of you pray
for me in this predicament.''
The call was abruptly terminated.
Abu Saada said prosecutors claim that Ibrahim's documentary
accuses the government of rigging previous elections. He said
police have seized a computer and documents from Ibrahim's house
and office.
A soft-spoken champion of human rights, Ibrahim runs the Ibn
Khaldoun Center, a Cairo think tank, and is often interviewed and
quoted by foreign journalists. He has long criticized Arab
governments for their lack of democracy and discrimination against
minorities. In Egypt, he has spoken for greater opportunities for
Coptic Christians, who comprise about 10 percent of the population
of 64 million.
The Egyptian government denies any discrimination against the
Copts, saying all Egyptians are treated equally.
Yussef Sidhom, the editor of the Coptic weekly Watani, said he
was amazed to hear of the detention.
''Knowing the man closely, I do not expect anything he would
have done to have harmed national security,'' Sidhom said. He said
the Ibn Khaldoun Center had acknowledged receiving funds from
abroad, adding: ''They have their own auditors and everything is
published.''
Ibrahim, who received his doctorate from the University of
Washington, is the author of several books, including ''Sects,
Orders and Ethnicities in the Arab World.'' He is a member of the
board of directors of the Al Ahram Center for Political and
Strategic Studies, a government-funded think tank.

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) Nora Ahmed was on her honeymoon when her
father cut off her head and paraded it down a dusty Cairo street
because she had married a man of whom he did not approve.
Begum Gadhaki was sleeping next to her 3-month-old son when her
husband grabbed a gun and shot her dead. A neighbor had spotted a
man who was not a family member near the field where she was
working in Pakistan's Sindh province.
Ahmed Ali used a cane to beat his wife across the stomach until
she died after she returned home to their tiny village in Yemen
from a two-day absence she refused to explain.
Hundreds of women like Ahmed, Gadhaki and Ali perish every year
because their male relatives believe their actions have soiled the
family name.
They die so family honor may survive.
Honor killings are based on a ''suspicion of immorality on the
part of the victim,'' the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says.
But women have no way to know what behavior could be their death
sentence. They have been killed for being too friendly to a
brother-in-law. Having ''arrogant'' body language. Sitting next to
a man on a bus.
Honor killing exists mostly in Muslim countries, such as those
in the Middle East and central Asia, even though Islam does not
sanction the practice.
The United Nations says such killings have also occurred in
Britain, Norway, Italy, Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. At least one
case has been reported in the United States.
It is an ancient practice sanctioned by culture rather than
religion, rooted in a complex code that allows a man to kill a
female relative for suspected or actual sexual activity.
''It's 100 percent tradition,'' according to Madiha El-Safty, a
sociology professor at the American University in Cairo. ''It's
associated with the value of sexual chastity of the woman.''
The law is usually on the man's side, often letting him go
unpunished or with only a light sentence. The community commonly
treats the murderer as a hero and considers the killing a duty, not
a crime.
Cultures where the practice exists hold that a woman is a man's
possession and a reflection of his honor. It's the man's honor that
gets tarnished if a woman is not virtuous.
''A woman in Arab societies is an object for sex and
reproduction. As long as she is an object, she is owned by a
father, a husband, a brother,'' said Salwa Bakr, an Egyptian
feminist and writer. ''The way she uses her body is not her
business but the business of those who own her.''
Ahmed Abbad Sherif, a prominent, conservative tribal leader in
Yemen, insists ''it's because women are weaker than men.''
''If she's immoral, it's the man's duty to kill her,'' Sherif
said matter-of-factly. ''Otherwise, he will be despised by the rest
of the tribe.''
Feminists, activists and human rights defenders have quietly
begun work to end honor killings.
''Men worry about their honor and dignity as if women had
none,'' said Azza Suleiman, an activist at the Center for Egyptian
Women's Legal Assistance. ''They have stripped us of our honor and
appointed themselves its protector.''
Honor killing, although not as widespread as decades ago, still
thrives in rural areas, where women remain financially dependent on
men and justice is administered by village elders.
From early childhood, girls are taught about ''eib,'' shame, and
''sharaf,'' honor. They dress modestly, lower their eyes when
walking in public and are segregated from boys if they're lucky
enough to be sent to school.
And everywhere girls go are reminders that their most important
mission in life is to remain virgins until they marry.
Among some tribes in Yemen, guests wait outside the newlyweds'
bedroom. Custom calls for the bridegroom to emerge and fire his
gun, signifying his bride was a virgin. In other tribes, a towel
smeared with the woman's blood is paraded on sticks through the
village amid ululations and, occasionally, the beatings of drums.
But virginity before marriage and demure behavior afterward are
no guarantee of safety.
Women have been shot, burned, strangled, stoned, poisoned,
beheaded or stabbed for being friendly to a brother-in-law, sitting
next to a man on a bus, falling in love with the wrong person,
talking to a man on the phone or even for being raped.
Their killers rarely give them a chance to prove their
innocence. They act first and perhaps inquire later.
In Yemen recently, a man shot his daughter dead on her wedding
night after her husband said she was not a virgin. At the mother's
insistence, the daughter was examined by a doctor and was found
to have been a virgin, said people familiar with the case.
It turned out the husband was impotent and knew his problem
would have been exposed because he had to display a bloodied rag as
proof of his bride's virginity. He lied to protect his honor.
No official figures tally how many such crimes are committed
every year. Many cases, activists say, go unreported or
misreported, with families describing the deaths as accidents to
prevent further scandal.
A recent UNICEF survey found that in 1997, honor killings
claimed the lives of as many as 400 women in Yemen, 52 in Egypt and
an estimated 300 in just one province of Pakistan. Jordan reports
an average of 25 such killings each year.
In 90 percent of the cases the United Nations investigated, the
victims were killed by or on orders from their families, said Asma
Jehangir, a human rights lawyer who also consults for the United
Nations.
In Yemen a decade ago, a father learned his daughter had eloped
with a man from another clan, breaking a taboo against marriage
outside the tribe.
Gathering sons, brothers, uncles and cousins, he headed north in
a convoy of about 20 cars, said Yemeni sociologist Abdo Ali Othman.
The men stormed the bride's new home and threw her into one of the
cars.
When the convoy reached the edge of her village, her father
hurled her to the asphalt and had every car drive over her.
Although most honor crimes occur in Muslim societies, Islam does
not sanction such killings.
''On the contrary, what's there in the Koran is against it,''
said Mohammed Serag, a professor of Islamic studies at the American
University in Cairo.
''In the eyes of Islam, those people (who kill in the name of
honor) are criminals,'' he added. ''They get maximum punishment ...
the death penalty.''
Islam, which emphasizes chastity for men and women, prescribes
100 lashes each for anyone who violates the Muslim code of
behavior. But nothing in the Koran supports the death punishment
for honor-related transgressions.
Serag said men who believe Islam approves of honor crimes may
have misinterpreted the Koran verse that allows husbands to beat
their wives.
''As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and
ill-conduct admonish them, refuse to share their beds, beat them,''
the Koran says in chapter 4, verse 34.
Because the language is general, it has been open to many
interpretations, Serag said. Some scholars believe the beating
should be symbolic with a feather, for instance. Others disagree
on who should administer it: the husband or the state.
Still, some religious groups and politicians have criticized
attempts to condemn the killings or introduce harsher punishment,
arguing that greater freedom would set women on the road to Western
liberalism.
''Women adulterers cause a great threat to our society because
they are the main reason that such acts take place,'' said Mohammed
Kharabsheh, a Jordanian lawmaker who heads his Parliament's Legal
Committee.
''If men do not find women with whom to commit adultery, then
they will become good on their own,'' he said.
Men who cannot use religion to justify their crime sometimes
find sanctuary in the law.
In countries where such actions are prosecuted, the youngest
male in a family may be asked to carry out a killing because
punishment for minors is less severe.
Judges and police officers have been known to side with the
''wronged'' man. In areas under Palestinian control, judges usually
look for ''justifiable excuses'' to exonerate the killers,
according to Nadera Shalhoub Kevorkian, a criminologist at Hebrew
University who participated in the UNICEF study.
''There is pure conspiracy from the formal system the
judiciary and the informal one the tribal system and family,''
Kevorkian said.
Women who seek shelter at police stations because they feel
threatened by their families are referred to tribal leaders whose
concept of justice can be arbitrary.
''One tribal leader told me, 'I look in her face and I can tell
if she is innocent or guilty. A young woman's life is decided by
the look on her face,''' Kevorkian said.
Until last February, a man in Lebanon who killed to cleanse the
family honor was protected by a law that said:
''A man who surprises his wife, daughter or sister practicing
adultery or illicit intercourse and kills or harms one of the two
partners without premeditation benefits from the legitimate
excuse'' that relieves him of the burden of the murder.
After years of protest spearheaded by feminist Laure Moughaizel,
the law was amended, making the man's actions punishable by a
sentence lighter than death.
Lawyer and activist Fadi Moughaizel, whose mother, Laure, died
before the amendments were made, said in some cases the man
murdered the woman because he had a mistress or wanted to get her
inheritance.
In Yemen, it is the absence of a functioning legal system,
especially in the rural, tribal areas, that helps the murderers.
''There are very few villages where the judiciary is represented
by a court and a prosecutor,'' said Jamal Adimi, a lawyer and head
of the Forum for Civil Society.
''Regular murders go unreported,'' he said. ''Do you really
expect people to report a crime of honor?''
The hurdles to ending honor killings go beyond tradition and
religion.
In Baghdad, the Iraqi Women's Federation asked the government 10
years ago to make the punishment seven years for the killer
more severe. But the government has not responded because it does
not want to alienate traditional tribes whose support it badly
needs.
Suleiman, the activist with the Egyptian center for legal
assistance, said plans to investigate honor crimes had to be
shelved because the organization is overwhelmed by other issues,
including getting every woman registered in government records.
And in some cases, the victims of attacks even insist they
deserve their fate.
''I wish they had killed me,'' said Hanan, a 21-year-old
Jordanian. Hanan fled her home in the town of Zarqa a year ago
after her two younger brothers drenched her with kerosene and set
her on fire because she was dating a neighbor. Her father tried to
choke her with a rope. She survived it all and now lives in hiding
with her boyfriend in the capital, Amman.
''I don't deserve to live,'' she said, ''because I brought shame
to my family by living with a man without being married.''
The experience among Arab Israeli activists has been more
rewarding. In 1994 they founded Al Badeel Association, a coalition
of women's and human rights groups, to combat honor crimes.
The activists speak in schools to raise awareness but sometimes
face resistance, especially from Bedouin tribes, said Linda
Khuwalid, a volunteer with the group.
From 1996 to 1998, Al Badeel documented 49 honor killings. There
wasn't a single case in 1999, which Khuwalid attributed to the
group's campaign.
When the murderers talk about their crimes, there is rarely
remorse.
As Marzouk Abdel-Rahim paraded his daughter's severed head
through Cairo three years ago, he gloated to the hundreds of
onlookers, ''Now the family has regained its honor.''
Din Mohammed Gadhaki acknowledged his wife was ''a good mother''
but said that after a strange man had been seen near the field
where she was working, ''I could not let people say I didn't
protect my honor.''
Ahmed Ali blamed his wife for provoking the beating that led to
her death almost three years ago. ''A man has the right to know
where his wife is. I found her behavior suspicious,'' he said at
the prison where he is serving three years for her murder.
Once upon a time in Yemen lived a woman called al-Dawdahiyya,
said Othman, the sociologist. Al-Dawdahiyya loved a man her father
disapproved of, so the couple decided to run away. Soon, however,
her father found her and brought her to the tribe's judge, who
ordered her jailed for soiling the family honor.
Upon her release some years later, male members of her tribe
were waiting with rocks to stone her because she was no longer a
virgin.
But the women in her family managed to spirit her away to a
place where no man could find her.
And she became a legend. A symbol of pure love. Songs, poems and
books were written about her. To this day, people talk about her.
Is she myth? Is she real? That's not the point, the storyteller
says.
She survived.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) A blistering battle north of
Afghanistan's war-battered capital Saturday left as many as 30
civilians dead, scores of fighters injured and hundreds of people
forced to flee their homes.
Opposition soldiers said 30 civilians were killed by Taliban
jetfighters that pounded enemy territory in Parwan and Kapisa
provinces, all north of Kabul. Because of the fighting and the
remoteness of the area, it was impossible to confirm the report
independently.
''The bombardment was heavy. We just heard by radio that 30
civilians were killed by jets,'' said Bismillah Khan, an opposition
commander at Baghram Airforce Base, 30 miles north of Kabul. He
said the fighting that raged early Saturday had tapered off by late
afternoon, with troops on both sides of the front line engaging in
sporadic artillery duels.
The Taliban, a fundamentalist Muslim movement known for the
strict brand of Islamic law it imposes, rule roughly 90 percent of
the country. The opposition, which rules the remaining 10 percent,
says it is ready negotiate but not to surrender.
In recent weeks both sides in Afghanistan's bitter conflict have
been reinforcing their front lines, sending in fresh manpower and
weapons.
The two sides accused the other of launching the offensive that
began before dawn Saturday.
The fighting forced hundreds of civilians to flee the area,
particularly in Parwan province, which neighbors Kabul, and Kapisa
province to the north, Khan said. They fled to the Panjshir Valley,
which is controlled by opposition leader Ahmed Shah Massood.
Taliban soldiers were dug in along a defensive line just outside
Kabul.
''We are ready to negotiate but we will defend ourselves and now
we are in a defensive position,'' said Abdul Rehman Ottaq, the
Taliban's deputy information minister.
The opposition says Pakistani Islamic religious students and
Arab militants are among the Taliban soldiers at the front line.
Two Pakistanis were arrested Saturday along with several Arab
nationals, Khan said.
At the front Saturday, Taliban fighters wrapped their bearded
faces against the dry gusting winds as they pounded enemy positions
with heavy weapons. A dirty carpet, some old pots and ratty
cushions are their only comforts.
Daoud Mohammed, a 28-year-old soldier, was resting, surrounded
by dozens of Kalashnikov rifles, rocket launchers and boxes of
ammunition. His only shelter from incoming fire was an old railway
car buried beneath the sun-scorched earth.
''We have faith in God,'' Mohammed said. ''We will win.''

Trial of suspected Nazi suspended indefinitely
By Associated Press

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) The trial of an alleged Nazi war
criminal was suspended indefinitely Monday after doctors said the
bedridden 93-year-old defendant was too sick to follow the
proceedings.
Aleksandras Lileikis is charged with genocide for allegedly
handing over scores of Lithuanian Jews to be executed during the
1941-44 German occupation, when he headed the Nazi-backed Vilnius
security police.
Lileikis lived in the United States for 40 years after World War
II and returned to Lithuania in 1995 as a U.S. court was moving to
revoke his citizenship. He has denied the charges.
The trial, the first Nazi war crimes proceedings in Lithuania,
got under way in 1998, but was repeatedly delayed because of
Lileikis' ailing health.
The trail resumed briefly on June 23 after parliament passed a
law allowing war crimes suspects, who were not well enough to
attend court sessions, to be tried in absentia as long as they
could follow the proceedings by a two-way television monitor.
A medical panel ruled Lileikis was fit to follow the
proceedings. But opening day was interrupted after 30 minutes when
Lileikis began gasping for air and was rushed to a hospital.
On Monday, doctors testified that Lileikis was too ill to keep
up with the proceedings. As a result, Judge Algimantas Pivoriunas
stopped the trial. He ordered doctors to report on Lileikis' health
monthly but said it was unlikely the trial would resume.
Prosecutors have 20 days to appeal the decision.
Defense lawyer Algimantas Matuiza called the court's ruling
humane.
''This was really the right thing to do. Lileikis really wanted
to participate in the trial he even has dreams about it because
he really wants to clear his name, but he's 93 and very ill and he
simply can't do it,'' he said.
Jewish leaders, who had been frustrated by the numerous delays,
were dismayed.
''It's clear he's not healthy, but it's not clear that the court
isn't overreacting to his diseases,'' said lawmaker Emanuelis
Zingeris, of Lithuania's Jewish community. ''Sadly, there's been
little indication that this trial is being taken seriously.''
Lileikis appeared in court only once, in 1998. In a wheelchair
and wearing a neck brace, he declared his innocence, then began
trembling and gasping. He was rushed away in an ambulance and never
reappeared in court.
Jewish groups have sharply criticized the repeated delays of the
trial, saying the former Soviet republic is trying to avoid
confronting its past under Nazi rule, when some 240,000 Lithuanian
Jews were massacred.
Local sentiment has been mixed, with many Lithuanians angered at
seeing an elderly man subjected to such publicity.
Zingeris, however, said sympathies should also lie with the
victims of the Holocaust.
''You cannot just show pictures of an elderly Lileikis. Where
are the pictures of those small children and wives and mothers who
were killed for nothing? There's been no full picture of this era
and its awful events,'' he said.
[The jew is vengeful. More than any other people, the jews remember any wrong
doing
done to them and exact vengeance exponentially. In most cases the wrong-doings
done
to them are complete fabrications concocted by rabbis as a kind of spiritual
glue or
rally-call to keep them unified with each other in hatred of some suppossed
oppressor. - O.H.]

Rights group calls for release of activist in Cairo
By Maamoun Youssef, Associated Press
[ Goy Fronts. A " Goy - Front " or " Gentile - Fron " is a Non-Jew who acts as
a
front man for Jew(s) so that the Jews may remain hidden. To be a Goy-Front one
has to be
either very naive and stupid so that one is unaware one is being used as a sock
puppet,
or very currupt and greedy in that one will do whatever one is told regardless
of how
immoral so long as someone is willing to pay enough money. Goy-Fronts are also
people
who are rather selfish and lack foresight. Most 'Democratically' elected
politicians
are Goy-Fronts. Usually most goy-fronts are used for a time and then disgarded
either
when they are no longer useful or until the goy-front gains a conscience and
protests against
being used. Most of the "Western" leaders we see are Goy-Fronts - and one can
see
the toll that selling one's soul to the Jew takes as most policians age
prematurely. - O.H.]
[ The Jew exports subversion to foreign lands. Sometimes the Jew is unable to
operate
within a country itself because of tight borders and regulations and a lack of
suitable 'front covers'. In cases like these, The Jew will organize expatriots
of that
nation who live in some Jewish satellite state such as the USA, and organize and
fund
them to operate some 'ethnic' movement based outside of that country but
designed to
eventually be exported and inserted into that host nation. Two examples of these
are the
Chinest Falun Gong movement and the various Iraqi opposition groups (which find
most of
their support in the USA and were founded and funded by either American Jews or
Non-Jewish frontmen operating in the USA). - O.H.]
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) A U.S. embassy official visited a
U.S.-Egyptian human rights activist Monday who has been detained
three days on charges of harming Egypt's image.
Also Monday, more Egyptian human rights groups came out in
defense of Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a sociology professor at the
American University in Cairo and head of an Egyptian think tank. He
was arrested Friday night with three assistants and later ordered
detained for 15 days and transferred to a Cairo prison.
''He is well and everything is fine. ... We are satisfied with
the visit,'' an embassy spokesman told The Associated Press without
elaboration.
U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Daniel Kurtzer has spoken to senior
Egyptian government officials, including Prime Minister Atef Obeid,
about Ibrahim, the spokesman said.
Ibrahim, who hold joint U.S.-Egyptian citizenship, told The
Associated Press Saturday that prosecutors have charged him with
preparing a documentary about elections that harms Egypt's image,
receiving foreign funds without government permission and forging
an election ballot. He said the ballot was a dummy made expressly
for the film.
Ibrahim has accused Egyptian officials of rigging voting.
Parliamentary elections are expected in November.
The Middle East News Agency said Monday that Ibrahim and been
placed on a list of people not allowed to leave the country.
''We call for the immediate release of Ibrahim as there are no
reasonable legal grounds for his preventive detention,'' The Arab
Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal
Profession said in a statement faxed to the AP Monday.
''The ACIJLP fears the arrest of Ibrahim may presage a more
fierce attack on civil society in Egypt,'' it said.
The Cairo-based World Center for Human Rights said ''the arrest
is aimed at putting an end to Ibrahim's ... activities in the field
of ethnic minorities in Egypt and other Arab countries.''
For years Ibrahim has criticized Arab governments for their lack
of democracy and discrimination against minorities. In Egypt, he
called for greater opportunities for the country's Coptic
Christians, who make up about 10 percent of the country's 64
million people.
Ibrahim runs the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies, a
Cairo think tank, and is often interviewed and quoted by foreign
journalists. He is also on the board of directors of the Al Ahram
Center for Political and Strategic Studies, a government-funded
think tank.

Bungled Mossad operation ends up in Swiss courtroom
By Alexander G. Higgins, Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) An Israeli Mossad agent appeared
under an assumed name in a Swiss court Monday to face espionage
charges, nearly 2½ years after he and four colleagues were caught
trying to install wiretapping equipment in a suburban apartment
block.
Although other Mossad agents have been charged with spying
abroad, it was believed to be the first time a confirmed member of
the Israeli spy agency has gone on trial outside Israel.
The agent, speaking through an interpreter, refused to give his
real name as he appeared in court flanked by his Swiss lawyers and
Israeli embassy representatives. ''It would affect my own personal
security if I gave my true identity,'' he said.
In a concession to Israeli sensitivities, Hans Wipraechtiger,
presiding judge of the Federal Criminal Court, said the defendant
would be able to continue using a pseudonym.
The February 1998 spy operation was blown when police were
called to investigate strange noises in the basement of a building
in Liebefeld, a sleepy suburb of Switzerland's capital, Bern.
Five agents were caught, but only one faces charges here Swiss
officials say he admitted to being assigned to install the wire
tap. The other four agents were questioned by police and later
released.
The case embarrassed the government of then-Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel apologized to Switzerland, but the
incident soured Israeli-Swiss relations already overshadowed by
tensions over Switzerland's treatment of Jews during World War II
and the handling of Holocaust victims' assets.
The Israeli on trial here is charged with spying for another
country, a count that carries a sentence of up to 20 years
imprisonment. Demands for a shorter sentence were expected,
however, because the espionage was not aimed at Switzerland.
The goal of the operation apparently was to listen in on
telephone conversations from the apartment of Abdallah el-Zein, a
Swiss citizen of Lebanese origin whom Swiss officials say was
linked to Hezbollah, the militant organization that fought for
years to oust Israel from south Lebanon.
''They explained to me that he had been responsible for
terrorist acts,'' the agent told the court Monday. El-Zein has
denied the allegation.
The agent confirmed that he first came to Switzerland in January
1998 to survey the area and returned the following month for the
wiretapping operation. His lawyers presented documents from the
Israeli government saying he would never return to Switzerland on
Mossad duty.
Swiss authorities remain unaware of the agent's real name. The
indictment says he held one passport under the name ''Issac
Bental'' and another as ''Jacob Track.''
The agent was allowed to leave Switzerland two years ago after
Israel paid $2 million bail and gave assurances that he would
return to face trial. He had been jailed for more than two months
at that point.

Seven die after infections at western Japan hospital
By Associated Press

TOKYO (AP) Seven people have died in western Japan after being
infected with an intestinal bacteria, officials said Monday.
The four men and three women, ranging in age from 60 to 91, were
infected at Mimihara General Hospital in Osaka, 250 miles west of
Tokyo, said Dr. Tatsuya Imai of the Osaka city government. The
deaths occurred from May to July 1.
Imai said seven other patients at the hospital also were
infected with the intestinal bacteria identified as serratia
marcescens.
Officials did not know how the patients contracted the bacteria.
Serratia often infects people with a weakened immune system and
can cause pneumonia and blood poisoning, Imai said.
In July of last year, five patients died at a hospital in Tokyo
in the first known in-hospital serratia infection case in Japan,
Imai said.
[ The World Health Organization WHO is suspected of being the world's premiere
bio-terrorist group. They are suspected of working for Jewish interests by
spreading
man-made diseases to attack and destabilize countries that have not become
indebted
to the IMF International Monetary Fund through famine and strife. It is
suspected that
Jewish leaders acting through their Non-Jewish frontmen, often use the WHO to
destroy
the gene-pool of a country they concider to be a threat to them. More often than
not,
countries that are at odds with the Jewish people or are too independent from
them,
'mysteriously' get unknown diseases. The Malaysian pig virus, the Dutch
Legionaires
disease, are some more recent examples. AIDS was one of the first war-weapons
which
the WHO is supsected of having created. It originally was used to reduce the
virile
populations of Africa, but later was reused to attack other countries - a
drawback
of AIDS however is that it takes too long to kill. One of the methods used to
distribute
these poisons was probably under the guise of 'vaccines', as well as injecting
it into
animals with a close genetic makeup to humans such as chimpanzees and pigs.

Scuffles erupt as Orangemen vow to march past Catholic homes inPortadown
By Shawn Pogatchnik, Associated Press
[in ireland the jew fully supports the IRA so long as it remains anti-white -
the jew
alwsy supports the rabble over the more civilized in countries in which it is
seeking a further foothold in]
PORTADOWN, Northern Ireland (AP) Police in riot gear charged
some 200 hard-line Protestant demonstrators early Monday,
dispersing a daylong protest that signaled a potentially violent
week ahead in this bitterly polarized town.
The ground around Drumcree Bridge was littered with rocks and
shards of concrete hurled at security forces by supporters of
Northern Ireland's major Protestant group, intent on marching past
Roman Catholic homes.
More than 2,000 members and supporters of the Orange Order
marched to Drumcree, an Anglican church near Portadown, where
British security forces for the past two years have prevented the
Protestant group from parading past a nearby Catholic neighborhood.
British soldiers in armored personnel carriers blocked the
Orangemen's intended route a narrow country lane between the
church and Garvaghy Road and rows of riot police in helmets and
flame-retardant uniforms stood ready.
''This struggle goes on for as long as it takes,'' Portadown's
Orange leader, Harold Gracey, told the crowd from a podium in front
of the armored vehicles.
At midday a few dozen men, some of them members of outlawed
anti-Catholic gangs based in Portadown, scuffled with police and
threw stones.
Sporadic violence resumed after dark when a 150-strong group
fired ball bearings and firecrackers at police lines. An armored
personnel carrier, its tires smoldering, appeared to have been hit.
A number of police officers reportedly suffered minor injuries.
The Orange Order, a hard-line fraternal group founded near
Portadown in the 1790s, remains influential today, particularly
over its opposition to Northern Ireland's 2-year-old peace accord.
Tens of thousands of Orangemen march each July, often to celebrate
17th-century military victories over Catholics.
The Portadown march, which commemorates the losses suffered by
Protestants during World War I's Battle of the Somme, has
traditionally gone past the Catholics living on Portadown's
Garvaghy Road. The event has caused violence whether or not police
have permitted the Orangemen to parade: Police violently forced
anti-Orange protesters off the road in 1996 and 1997, provoking
riots in many Catholic areas, but have banned the parade route
since 1998, triggering Protestant disturbances.
This year, with the parade route blocked once again, Gracey said
he hoped to see hundreds of thousands of Protestants rally on
Northern Ireland's streets in the coming week to support their
demands. Gracey has maintained a 726-day vigil at the church to
protest the 1998 parade route ban, and he has refused to negotiate
directly with Catholic protest leaders.
While the Orange Order has emphasized that it doesn't sanction
bloodshed, past efforts by members of the Protestant majority to
pressure British authorities by blocking roads and mounting snap
protests have frequently turned violent. Orangemen backed off from
their standoff in 1998 only after three Catholic brothers were
burned to death in an arson attack. Last year's protests were
deliberately muted, sparking little trouble.
In apparent response to Gracey's latest appeal, Protestants
blocked roads in north Belfast and a predominantly Protestant
village late Sunday, but no violence was reported.
Sunday's demonstrations also attracted visible support from the
province's murderous anti-Catholic groups. Youths at the
confrontation line with soldiers draped the lead armored cars with
banners honoring two outlawed groups, the Ulster Defense
Association and Loyalist Volunteer Force.
Like the outlawed Irish Republican Army, which draws some
support from hard-line Catholic areas like the Garvaghy Road, the
illegal Protestant groups are supposed to be observing cease-fires.

Unix Tin and Kill FIle
The Unix Tin Newsreader is the best newsreader for dealing with blocking out spam.
The reason why it's the best is because it does not have to download all the spam to your computer
first and then sort through what stuff to delete - that's why it works so fast. Also the Kill File
which is a file which tells Tin what kind of articles to block is really powerful - I am able to block
about 70% of everything that the enemies of the people try to do to stop people form expressing
ideas which are critical of the j*wish people. If you are not sure what what the terms Unix, Tin, Killfile
are then learn them! Do a search for the term "Telnet" - this is a program that even the oldest computers
can use and it allows you to telnet into a unix shell. If your internet account doesn't have a unix shell
then cancel it and get a real internet account.

Also note that the federal government, various j*wish hate-groups such as the Anti-Defamation Leauge ADL , The
Simon Wiesenthal Center, and various other shadowy underworld groups are suspected of spending your tax dollars
to hire federal agents and various 'activists' to spam the internet with forged posts in my name as well as in
the name of other non-j*wish dissidents who are speaking out against j*wish tyranny. A good way to discern my
posts from any imposter thus far is that the imposters usually degrade the conversation to petty insults and
incomplete sentences, if not complete jibberish. For those who are more computer literate, you can check the
newsgroup headers for my posts.

Two examples of infiltrators who are trying to distort the Right-Wing message and create infighting are 'bo' gritz

In addition to forged posts, these sneaks will also reply to a post in which they will doctor, or completly change
what the original person said and then quote that as having been what the person actually said. They do this because
they are incapable of arguing on the basis of facts or reason, and find a campaign of smearing or degredation to be more to
their natures. 50% of the posts from 'ourhero' are forgeries but clearly visible to anyone who has read my posts for a while..
