But the most seductive thing about [drug] prohibition is that it keeps us from having to confront all the other little addictions that get us through the day. It's the NutraSweet in the coffee we use to wash down the chocolate mousse; a dad's "Just say no" commandments borne on martini-scented breath. "Don't do drugs," a Members Only ad advises. "Do clothes." Well, why "do" anything? Why not live more lightly, without compulsions of any kind? Then there's TV, the addiction whose name we can hardly speak -- the poor man's virtual reality, the substance-free citizen's 24-hour- a-day hallucinatory trip. No bleary-eyed tube addict, emerging from a weekend-long catatonia, has the right to inveigh against "drugs." [From "Kicking the Big One" by Barbara Ehrenreich. Time magazine, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 70.]

This [being made to testify under oath] is the great tiebreaker, this is the one thing that Bill Clinton has feared since 1988, and it is the one thing that will force him to resign before he is exposed for past and present criminal wrongdoing. Bill Clinton was involved with people who gave cocaine away to young girls. Bill Clinton was involved with people who were laundering drug money. Bill Clinton is involved with people who have destroyed records relative to an ongoing grand jury. Bill Clinton and his subordinates have obstructed an ongoing investigation. Bill Clinton has lied about his role and knowledge about the obstruction. And the greatest sin of all, he has lied to the American people and to the people of the world. He has lied so much in fact that our nation is tarnished before world leaders. [From "The Truth Will Set Us Free" by Larry Nichols. For The People, News Reporter, May 30, 1994, p. 13.]

First it was a section of California that wanted to secede, then Maryland's Eastern Shore; now native Hawaiians say they want their land, and rights, back. "We're past the point of just sitting down and begging government agencies for rights to the land," said a University of Hawaii instructor. "Now Hawaiians are trying to assert themselves physically." The state has scheduled a fall referendum on the sovereignty question for descendants of the original Hawaiians. [From The Spotlight, June 20, 1994.]

Allen Dulles is dead, but that doesn't mean that the idea of controlling people's minds and behavior is dead, and I still think that is a goal. And when you look at what I believe is a tilt for Global Government you see where that would be even more intensified now. We had gas, for example, this was way back in the late '50s, early '60s, we had gas that you could use that could completely change people's desire to fight or to flee. The army's chemical-biological warfare research labs, I think that kind of stuff still goes on. They have to have human guinea pigs to practice on because animals other than human do not produce the kind of comprehensive results that they need. So when it comes down to human behavior, they probably take street people. There are kids missing off the streets of America every year. Some of them may end up being sold for body parts down in Guadalajara Mexico, and a few other places for rich people who don't want to wait in line for organ transplants. And some of them undoubtedly end up in Satanic rituals. But many of these ritualistic abuses may really be governmental operations. I think MK-ULTRA exists today. [Lt. Col. "Bo" Gritz, from an interview in Flatland magazine #10, p. 51.]

Army documents detailing secret Cold War-era research on biological warfare will be released, the Pentagon announced.
The Army recently acknowledged that it sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide, a fluorescent chemical, over Minneapolis and numerous other areas of the country in the 1950s and 1960s.
Several women who attended a Minneapolis elementary school that was in the path of the spray in 1953 say they have experienced health problems including sterility, early cancers, disabled offspring or miscarriages.
"We're prepared to release everything," Army spokesman Norm Covert said Wednesday. "That means we have to find it. If we can find it, we'll release it."
Sen. Paul Wellstone met with Defense Department and Army officials Wednesday and said they made a "strong commitment" to full disclosure.
