Col. Oliver North helped draft a plan in 1984 to impose 360 martial law in the United States in event of an emergency. 361 According to Chardy, the secret plan called for suspension of the 362 Constitution, turning control of the government over to the 363 little-known Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), appointment 364 of military commanders to run state and local governments, and the 365 declaration of martial law in the event of such a crisis as nuclear 366 war, violent and widespread internal dissent or national opposition to 367 a U.S. military invasion abroad. 368 North helped draft the plan to impose martial law while serving 369 as the NSC's laiason to FEMA. Chardy reported that an administration 370 official said the contingency plan was written as part of an executive 371 order or legislative package that Reagan would sign and hold within 372 NSC until such time as a severe crisis arose. "It is not known whether 373 Reagan signed the plan," Chardy added. 374 The plan was extraordinary enough to even frighten then-Attorney 375 General William French Smith into protesting to Robert McFarlane, 376 North's NSC boss at the time, that FEMA was establishing itself as an 377 "emergency czar" and "exceeding its proper function as a coordinating 378 agency for emergency preparedness." 379 This secret plan to declare martial law in the event of internal 380 dissent or national opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad took 381 on an added dimension as citizens gathered to protest the nation's 382 intervention in Honduras in March, 1988. 383 384 SOURCES: KNT NEWS WIRE, 7/5/87, "North linked to plan for 385 martial law," by Alfonso Chardy, p A1, SAN RAFAEL (CA) INDEPENDENT 386 JOURNAL; THE NATION, 8/1/87, "Minority Report," by Christopher 387 Hitchens, p 80. 388 389 696969696969696969 390 391 392 034=Usr:588 Wayne S. 09/27/88 17:40 Msg:2392 Call:10004886 Lines:11 393 394 ============================================================================== 395 396 I don't much care what religion any politician is: Christian, Moslem, Agnostic, 397 or Pagan.

Even the 'state' steals, and yet it 496 detains those who do the very same thing! What a set of double-standards! 497 (And I thought I was bad...) 498 499 I'm gonna say this ONE LAST TIME: 500 501 There is NO form of 'polictical state' that can meet the demands of 502 any people. The best form of control is SELF-CONTROL; as you mind your 503 own business, so does everyone else. You don't need a "XR7000 Big Brother 504 Spy-Eye" over your shoulder to see what you're reading. Basically, 505 politics and government are complex but serious POWER TRIPS. Government 506 wasn't created to protect the people from themselves (as the state would 507 like to have you to believe) - it was ORIGINALLY created for some 508 TWIT (not unlike the one's we've had in the past) who just HAD TO HAVE 509 his/her STINK'N FINGERS ON EVERYTHING! Someone said, 'gee, if I 510 terrorize the people, and then make them attack/defend/vex themselves 511 rather than me, I would be able to have control over them!' 512 513 ANARCHY is not a solution 514 ANARCHISM could be a solution - there is a BIG difference in what the 515 words mean, reguardless of context! Don't confuse them! 516 517 The best religion is PERSONAL AND PRIVATE religion. To say anything 518 else would be to discredit that religion! I'll try and make this as 519 simple as possible; So, let's say you'll be saved/lifted up/absorbed 520 by the great nothing/reincarnated/recycled/stuck in h*ll/etc. etc. etc. 521 SO WHAT?!? If you KNOW you're going to be 'saved', then why worry about 522 everyone else's religions? After all, in THEIR eyes, they will be 523 'saved', and not YOU. If you can't except that, then you are not 524 a member of a religion - you are a member of a CULT! And that is what 525 a cult is - a following in a belief that revolves around building that 526 following! I know some 'Christians' will jump on my case about 527 spreading their beliefs, but then again, my 'religion' says I 528 don't have to worry about that now, does it? Same goes for EVERYONE- 529 especially ME! 530 531 - and what that means is I am voiceing my OPINION, and you are in 532 no way obligated to agree, accept, or even attempt to understand what 533 I have said.

Smetymes I don't even believe in my shift key.) I 842 believe heavily in the separation of church and state.

If this is the case, and I know it to be so, then why 91& d Adults take great measures in removing birth control? Are they 917 afraid that their 'poor little darlings' will learn abit more than 918 the birds and the bees? If that's so, then we're still in the 919 sexual dark ages - and I've got news for them about the 4th grader 920 who comprehends what it is before they reach the Sex-Ed classes in 921 Jr High...makes me wonder how the Earth has manageto keep itself 922 together without falling on its face. 923 924 * * * 925 926 Wonderer gqs cytting nearby, greeting me. 927 928 "Nope. It's just the calm before the storm. Besides, there 929 seems to be a problem in another multiverse on a small computer system 930 that I can't exactly place. It seems as if it creates problems 9#1 in0this place. Too bad, isn't it?" 932 933 The barkeep returned, with some beers on a serveing (sp) (ack!) 934 platter. To his annoyance, I levitated a beer to Wonderer, being 935 careful not to let the suds run over until it landed on the tarle.>. 936 937 "Where are the others?" (grumble, grumble) "Will they return, 938 or will they be summoned? I personally dislike summoning...say, 939 I know! Maybe if I sent some beer to Kurfur, he would come of 940 his own free will. Give me q moment to make a small portal" as 941 I strained to open a passage to Kurfur's home, and the sweat 942 started to pour. Never had it been so hard to pry apart Beta Space... 943 as if something was still out there, trying to hold eternity in its 944 grip.0 I saw Kurfur, along with some others, and promptly put the 945 Stein in his hand when he raised it. Although he was a little startled, 946 I'm sure he caught the message I had sent. There was a merry gleam 947 in his eye as he read: 948 949 0 [0COMPLEMENTS OF THE FRIENDLY GURU. WANT MORE? TRY THE INN...] 950 951 Then I closed Beta Space, then the Eye, and returned to the 952 Inn's friendly surroundings. The Barkeep didn't look to happy - 953 he remembered the last time Kurfur sxowet. Nearly went 'damn broke 954 trying to keep him satisfied...at least that's the vibes I got from 955 the poor, red-faced, unhappy barkeep. 956 957 "Say, maybe we could make the Inn a purely material place- ya know, 958 bind it to Beta Spacu for easy travel & security. It would be a 959 welcome place for the tired, hurt, hungry, and the lonely searching 960 for friendship. Could it be done?" I knew it would take great 961 effort to transport the place, maybe all of my strength, but it guld 962 be worth it to have a 'safe house' for those to come to when life 963 wouldn't allow them a 'time-out'. (Sit and wait,) I thought. 964 965 966 The disk is for the honored to fill. May Lord Beaker fill the 967 top space as he wished.0 I qm merely a young man observing life. 968 969 Hagbard Celine 970 971 {} 066=Usr:588 Wayne S. 09/30/88 00:15 Msg:2424 Call:10004978 Lines:28 972 973 ======================================================================= 9740 9'5 Camp Director: The reason you seem to see religion and politics 976 mentioned in the same breath is there is a concerted 977 effort being put forth right now upon politicians 978 to relax somu of dhe rigidness of separation of the 979 two. (Wow! Did that make sense?) There is being put 980 into place a network of churches with committees who 981 will be sending telegrams to politicians co~ceb~ing 982 bills in Congress. If a few hundred letters and tele- 983 grams can make a Congressperson to change his/her vote, 984 imagine 2,000-3,000 people all registering the same 985 0 pinion. There may be a majority the other way, but 986 that group is not so nearly well organized! 987 988 989 Fred?: You are an atheist, but you will keep an open mind to any- 990 one who can prove theyb ruligion. That's rather contradict- 991 ory as religion is an act of faith. See, believing that the 992 universe fell together, and life just happened is like my 993 that if you put all the pieces of a Timex watch in a dryer 994 and let it tumble for a hundred million years, someday it 995 would all fall together and keep perfect time. It is much 996 easier to believe in Someone who created this place purposely 997 0 than for me to believe all this was accidental. Both are 998 acts of faith -- noone was here when it started. 999 ================================Signer=====================================
