    Curious...a friend and I had a conversation the other day; we had both
    noticed several trains carrying military vehicles (tanks, APCs, etc.) --
    I guess the strangeness of it is twofold: 1) the volume of equipment being
    moved, and 2) the fact that neither of us had ever noticed such movements
    in this area in the past. Also, we'd both seen camoflaged trucks, etc.
    driving around the countryside in the last few months (yes, I consider
    US Route 50 near Wheatland, Indiana to be the "countryside" ...). We
    speculated for a few minutes, then thought no more about it...

    He sent me a FAX yesterday. I've typed in the bulk of it. The main
    story is concerning sightings of military vehicles all over the country.
    The second (which I didn't type in) concerns the fact that the machinery
    is now in place for Klinton to assume dictatorial powers, since the
    signing of recent Executive Orders. Among others, on May 5 he signed
    Presidential Decision Directive 25 (PDD-25), which deals with placing
    U.S. troops under UN command. Further, on June 9, the House of
    Representatives rejected by 237-185 a motion to place restrictions on the
    ability of a president to relinquish sovereign control over U.S. troops to
    a foreign national acting directly on behalf of the United Nations. Email
    me if you want more info.

    I hope y'all are ready or getting there. I think something's up...

    The typos in the following story are mine.

    SECRET MILITARY MANEUVERS CONCERN TO LOYAL AMERICANS

    Foreign Combat Vehicles Spotted Across the U.S.

    You haven't been seeing things. There have been a number of strange
    military-related maneuvers around the country lately. blurb|

                           EXCLUSIVE TO THE SPOTLIGHT
                                 BY MIKE BLAIR

    The SPOTLIGHT has obtained irrefutable evidence that hundreds -- perhaps
    thousands -- of foreign military vehicles and armor are in the United
    States, including vehicles intended for use by the UN.

    At the same time, President Bill Clinton has signed new Executive Orders,
    giving wide-ranging new powers to the UN to command U.S. military forces
    and delegating new powers to the National Security Council and the
    office of National Security Adviser to the President, a post currently
    held by Anthony Lake.

    Hundreds of railroad flatcars bearing Russian military vehicles and
    armor and some UN vehicles and armor have been spotted in several
    states, including Montana, Colorado and Wyoming in the West and
    Pennsylvania in the East.

    in addition, in Mississippi, hundreds of Russian-built vehicles,
    obtained from what was formerly East Germany and apparently being
    refurbished for the UN, are located in a massive depot. many of the
    vehicles were designed for chemical and biological warfare purposes.

    PHOTOS OBTAINED

    The SPOTLIGHT has obtained photographs of railroad flatcars filled with
    Russian and UN trucks and armor spotted in the Western states, along
    with others taken of the massive depot in Mississippi.

    The SPOTLIGHT has also obtained copies of bills of lading for Russian
    vehicles obtained for UN purposes from what was formerly East Germany,
    which have been shipped to the united States, landing at Gulfport dock
    facilities in Mississippi and driven to the depot, located three miles
    south of Saucier,
            (See WHAT, Page 3)
            (heading: What Are These Vehicles Doing Here? page 3)
    and 45 miles north of Biloxi, along Mississippi Highway 49.

    The depot is surrounded with a chain-link fence, topped with barbed
    wire, and guard dogs are reported to be used to protect the area from
    intruders.

    A videotape taken of the area and obtained by The SPOTLIGHT shows dozens
    of the vehicles, including several chemical and biological warfare
    decontamination trucks that have been painted white, presumably for UN
    use.

    The bill of lading, indicating that the vehicles were obtained through a
    West German firm operating under the name of *Beesch Merkator*, lists
    dozens of Russian-built military trucks intended for UN purposes.

    The vehicles include several varieties of Russian ZIL-131 heavy trucks,
    including some listed to be of the ARS-14 type, which are chemical and
    biological warfare decontamination vehicles, and two varieties of
    ZIL-157 heavy trucks.

    OTHERS AT DEPOT

    However, photographs obtained by The SPOTLIGHT of the truck depot near
    Saucier also include other Russian-built trucks, including some of what
    appear to be the MAZ-500 series.

    A detailed report has been obtained that confirms a large road about 35
    (or 85 -- I can't tell from the FAX) feet in width, has been built to
    connect the truck depot with the Stennis NASA Space Center, located
    about 20 miles southeast of the depot near the Mississippi-Louisiana
    border.

    There have also been reports that the vehicles are being shipped by
    barges on the Pearl River, which runs along the border of the two
    states, north to some unknown destination.

    Late last March, a train with 100 flatbed cars bearing Russian-type
    jeeps, trucks and U.S. armored personnel carriers, some painted white
    with UN markings on their sides, were seen and photographed at a
    railroad crossing at Rye Gate, Montana, about 10 miles north of
    interstate Route 12, south of the easternmost section of the Lewis and
    Clark National Forest, and about 60 miles northeast of Bozeman.

    RUSSIAN ARMOR

    On the train were Russian BMP-40 armored cars, loaded four to a flatcar.
    The BMP-40 was designed for urban warfare and as a rapid-assault
    offensive vehicle. Protruding from the vehicles' turrets could be seen
    short-barreled 75 millimeter cannons. The Soviets also equipped the
    vehicles with Sagger anti-tank missiles. The armored cars are built for
    amphibious use.

    Also on the train were Russian UAZ-469B light, jeep-like vehicles, what
    appear to be more ZIL-131 trucks and KamAZ 5320 Russian trucks.

    Some of the flatcars were loaded with American-built M113 armored
    personnel carriers, some of which were painted white and bore the
    letters "UN" on the sides.

    On May 29 at about 6 pm, a long train of 100 flat cars loaded with tanks
    and armored vehicles, some of which were believed to be of foreign
    manufacture, was spotted heading from the northeast toward the west
    along horseshoe Curve at Altoona, Pennsylvania.

    Then, on May 31 at about 2 am, what may have been the same train was
    seen by an Air Force police officer returning to Malstrom Air Force Base
    at Great Falls, Montana, while he was driving through Wheatland,
    Wyoming, about 60 miles north of Cheyenne.

    TRAINS GUARDED

    At the crossing in Wheatland, according to the airman, three trains were
    stopped, two heading north and one heading south, to allow an eastbound
    train to pass.

    While the three trains, all of which carried military vehicles, were
    stopped, they were guarded, according to the airman, by soldiers in
    black field uniforms. The three trains were carrying what he said were
    armored vehicles, some of which attracted his attention because they
    were painted white. Due to the darkness, he could not identify the
    vehicles as to type or origin.

    Two days later, what was thought to have been one of the northbound
    trains was spotted on a siding at Sun Prarie, north of Great Falls,
    Montana.

    Another reported sighting of a long train loaded with military vehicles
    was reported in Colorado at about the same time.

    Meanwhile, five train-loads of armored vehicles have been reported to
    have arrived at Fort Chafee, Arkansas, where observers have spotted
    large stockpiles of barbed wire and the recent arrival of some 5,000
    mattresses.

    Sources estimate that there are currently from 2,000 to 3,000 armored
    vehicles at Fort Chafee.

    After thousands of supposed Cuban refugees were allowed into the United
    States by President Jimmy Carter in 1978, many who were found to be
    mental patients and criminals were confined at Fort Chafee, which is,
    along with Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, and Fort Drum, New York,
    among locations that have been secretly selected as detention centers
    for dissidents during some future declared "national emergency,"
    according to persistent rumors.
