REALLY BAD NEWS
*THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES HAVE SPENT THE LAST THREE YEARS NEGOTIATING A TREATY
THAT WOULD USHER IN A NEW ERA OF GLOBAL TRADE IN WHICH GOVERNMENTS ARE POWERLESS TO INTERVENE IN THE
DECISIONS OF MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS. THE TREATY CALLED THE MULTINATIONAL AGREEMENT ON INVESTMENT
(MAI) WOULD BAN ALMOST ANY LAW THAT MIGHT INTERFERE WITH INVESTORS PROFITS. INITIALLY DISCUSSED AT
MEETINGS OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO), LAWS THAT COULD BE ELIMINATED UNDER MAI INCLUDE
PREFERENCES FOR COMPANIES THAT SUPPORT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, RESTRICTIONS ON LOGGING OR MINING AND BANS ON
TOXIC DUMPING. PROGRAMS TO BOOST LOCAL INDUSTRY OR SMALL BUSINESS WOULD BE FORBIDDEN. IN A SENSE,
THE MAI WOULD INCREASE THE POWER OF TOTALITARIAN BUSINESS CONGLOMERATES TO ESSENTIALLY SHOVE CORPORATE
RESOLUTIONS DOWN THE THROATS OF UNSUSPECTING VICTIMS WORLDWIDE, LUDICROUSLY TURNING AN EVER-INCREASING
SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION INTO SUPERFLUOUS, YET LUCRATIVE EXCESS, AND THEREFORE MOVING HUMANKIND ONE STEP
CLOSER TO A SEMI-MONOPOLISTIC CORPORATE/SOCIALIST REALITY NOT UNLIKE SOME ASPECTS OF THE PRE-EXISTENT
SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY OR MANY MODERN GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS. IN EFFECT, THIS COULD SUCCESSFULLY STIFLE
THE EFFORTS OF AN INCREASINGLY POWERFUL AND OUTSPOKEN CONSTITUENCY BASE. SINCE POLITICS IS ESSENTIALLY
THE SHADOW CAST BY BIG BUSINESS OVER SOCIETY, THERE ARE ONLY LIMITED POSSIBILITIES FOR ADVANCING HUMAN
RIGHTS, FREEDOM OR DEMOCRACY BECAUSE TOO MUCH ATTENTION IS BEING PAID TO THE SHADOW AND NOT THE SOURCE.

*IN 1995, THERE WERE A REPORTED THREE COVERT UNDERGROUND FACILITIES PER U.S. STATE, APPARENTLY FUNDED BY
ROUGHLY ONE QUARTER OF THE ESTIMATED $310 BILLION 'BLACK BUDGET' (SECRET/PRIVATELY FUNDED PROJECTS
WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT). STRETCHING ACROSS AN AVERAGE OF FOUR CUBIC MILES AND AS FAR AS 5000
FEET BELOW THE EARTH'S SURFACE, AND EMPLOYING ANYWHERE FROM 1800 TO 10,000 INDIVIDUALS, THESE
SUBTERRANEAN BASES ARE REPORTEDLY USED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE BACK ENGINEERING OF
RETRIEVED ALIEN SPACECRAFT, OR UFOS. ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL SPEAKERS ON THE SUBJECT OF UNDERGROUND
TUNNELS AND BASES ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE HIS HIGHLY CLASSIFIED POSITION AND CONSEQUENTLY FOUND HIMSELF UNDER
ARREST. HE WAS TOLD IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT LEAVING WAS NOT AN OPTION. IN A PUBLIC APPEARANCE IN
DENVER, COLORADO IN NOVEMBER 1995, HE SAID MANY ATTEMPTS HAD BEEN MADE ON HIS LIFE IN RESPONSE TO HIS
DISCLOSURE EFFORTS. HE DIED UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES IN JANUARY 1996 SHORTLY AFTER.
*WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS, SEVEN PEOPLE HAVE DIED UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES AT THE HANDS OF THE
BOISE, IDAHO POLICE. TO DATE, FOUR LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST THE CITY, WITH ANOTHER DUE IN
SEPTEMBER. THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOISE CITY POLICE UNION IS A POLICEMAN THAT HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR
BRUTALITY ON HIS RECORD, AND WAS FIRED TWICE, THEN LATER REINSTATED COURTESY OF THE UNION.
*AUTHORITIES IN CHINA SENTENCED A GRASS ROOTS CHINA DEMOCRACY PARTY ORGANIZER TO 13 YEARS IN PRISON FOR 'SUBVERTING STATE POWER'.
*OFFICIAL FEDERAL IDIOTS IN THE U.S. CONTINUE TO BLATANTLY DISREGARD THE WILL OF CALIFORNIA VOTERS AND KNOWINGLY OBSTRUCT DEMOCRACY THROUGH THEIR FUTILE EFFORTS TO BLOCK THE ENFORCEMENT OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 215. WHILE SPREADING DEMOCRACY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AN INCREASINGLY WATERED DOWN VERSION IS BEING PRACTICED IN THE UNITED STATES.
*LYING ON A DEPOSITION IS IN FACT AGAINST FEDERAL LAWS UNLESS YOU ARE A HIGH RANKING PUBLIC OFFICIAL, APPARENTLY.
*THE CITY OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA HAS RESORTED TO VEHICLE THEFT IN ITS FIGHT AGAINST DRUGS AND PROSTITUTION.
*THE GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED MAINSTREAM U.S. MEDIA MANAGED TO SOMEHOW PUT A MORAL SPIN ON 72 DAYS OF
NATO AIRSTRIKES IN YUGOSLAVIA, IN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS FOR THE SUBSTANTIATION
OF THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (AND THE DEFENSE CONTRACTORS THAT ALLOWED IT ALL TO OCCURR) IN YEARS.
A CONSEQUENTIAL ESCALATION OF ETHNIC CLEANSING WITHIN THE AFFECTED REGION, AND THE DEATHS OF COUNTLESS
INNOCENT CITIZENS, COUPLED WITH THE 'ACCIDENTAL' BOMBING OF THE CHINESE EMBASSY IN BELGRADE
(ALL COURTESY OF NATO) HAVE SHOWN A WILLINGNESS BY MANY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO TAKE CALCULATED RISKS
WITH THE COLLECTIVE DESTINIES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE, MAKING IT ALL TOO APPARENT THAT ONE OF
THE GRAVEST THREATS TO NATIONAL SECURITY IN THE UNITED STATES, IS THE UNITED STATES ITSELF.
*REBUILDING THE DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY NATO BOMBING IN KOSOVO WOULD COST AN ESTIMATED $15 BILLION.
*THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) ALLOWED MILLIONS OF TONS OF RADIOACTIVE METAL TO BE RE-DISTRIBUTED BY
SCRAP COMPANIES AND TURNED INTO MANY ORDINARY CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INCLUDING EYEGLASSES, DENTAL FILLINGS
KITCHEN UTENSILS AND IUDS. A NEW PLAN PROPOSED BY THE DOE AND THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WOULD
ELIMINATE THE PERMIT PROCESS AND RAISE THE ACCEPTABLE THRESHOLD OF RADIOACTIVE LEVELS WITHIN RECYCLED
METAL AND ALLOW THE METAL-PROCESSING INDUSTRY TO EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE ITS OUTPUT.

*THE U.S ARMY PLANS A CONTROLLED BURN AT FORT ORD, CALIFORNIA, ON LAND POLLUTED WITH VARIOUS DISGARDED
EXPLOSIVES AND PROPELLANTS (ETC), THAT CONTAIN TOXIC CHEMICALS INCLUDING MUSTARD GAS, PHOSGENE AND DDT
AMONG OTHERS. FOR 75 YEARS, THE BASE WAS USED BY THE U.S. ARMY FOR VARIOUS MILITARY PURPOSES, INCLUDING
WEAPONS TESTING AND AS A HAZARDOUS AND TOXIC WASTE LANDFILL. IN 1990, THE BASE RECEIVED ENVIRONMENTAL
SUPERFUND CLEANUP STATUS. DESPITE WIDESPREAD ILLNESS CAUSED BY 150 ACRES BURNED LAST YEAR, THE ARMY PLANS
TO INCINERATE ANOTHER 2000 ACRES IN 1999, STATING THAT IT HAS SECURED PUBLIC APPROVAL FOR THE PROJECT.
*ENVIRONMENTALISTS LINK MASS DEATHS OF MARINE WILDLIFE IN MONTEREY BAY TO POLLUTION RUNOFF FROM FORT ORD.
*A 7000 SQUARE MILE 'DEAD ZONE' IN THE GULF OF MEXICO CAUSED BY CORN BELT FERTILIZER RUNOFF IS GROWING.
*GROUNDWATER IN CALIFORNIA'S SANTA CLARA VALLEY HAS BEEN SO POLLUTED BY INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT THAT THE
SILICON VALLEY TOXICS COALITION (SVTC) WEB SITE DOCUMENTING THE VALLEY'S NUMEROUS TOXIC WASTE SUPERFUND
CLEANUP SITES IS NOW UP AT: http://www.svtc.org/svtchome.htm (ARE YOU READY?).
*THE CITY COUNCIL IN MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA HAS PUT INTO MOTION A RESOLUTION TO BAN WHITE PLASTIC
CHAIRS AND SUNSHADE TENTS, CITING THEIR DIFFICULTY TO KEEP CLEAN. RUMORS HAVE IT THAT GREEN AND POSSIBLY
YELLOW OR EVEN ORANGE CHAIRS COULD BE NEXT TO GO. ANOTHER RECENT RESOLUTION BANNED THE WEARING OF
ATHLETIC SHORTS WITHOUT A BELT AT THREE NIGHT CLUBS ON CASTRO STREET DOWNTOWN, PROBABLY DUE TO
RIDICULOUS CONCERNS THAT SHORTS ARE 'GATEWAY CLOTHING' TO VIOLENCE. IN ANOTHER DISTURBING DEVELOPMENT,
NO COMMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THE SUBJECT OF MILITARY FATIGUES OR POLICE UNIFORMS.
*ON AUGUST 4, 1997, 42 BOXES OF 'ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIVE FILES' FOR CASES CLOSED IN THE CALENDAR YEAR
1995 BELONGING TO THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION (FPPC), WERE INADVERTENTLY DESTROYED AT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION CENTER (DDC). UNFORTUNATELY, STATE RECORDS CENTER STAFF BELIEVED
THE RECORDS HAD BEEN DELIVERED FOR DESTRUCTION, AND WITHOUT THE PROCEDURALLY REQUIRED WRITTEN
AUTHORIZATION OR VERBALLY RE-VERIFYING FPPC'S INTENTION, THE RECORDS WERE DESTROYED.
*FUNDAMENTALIST REACTIONARIES ARE TRYING MANY DESPERATE STRATEGIES TO SUPPRESS INTERNET FREEDOMS BY
ATTEMPTING TO PASS REPRESSIVE AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS TO TURN THE NET INTO A MIRROR IMAGE OF THE VAST
WASTELAND OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED TELEVISION INDUSTRY: ALL COMMERCIALS AND PABULUM FOR THE
INFANTILE MASSES. THERE ARE EVEN LOCAL INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT PRE-CENSOR ALL INTERNET MATERIAL
SO THAT THE PUERILE CAN MAINTAIN A NARROW-MINDED WORLDVIEW BASED ON IGNORANCE AND SELECTIVE OMMISSION.
*IF TENDENCIES TOWARDS DISSOCIATION WERE NOT INHERENT IN THE HUMAN PSYCHE, FRAGMENTARY PSYCHIC SYSTEMS
WOULD NEVER HAVE SPLIT OFF, AND THAT IS ALSO WHY OUR TIME HAS BECOME SO UTTERLY GODLESS AND PROFANE;
WE ALL LACK KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNCONSCIOUS PSYCHE AND PURSUE THE CULT OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO THE EXCLUSION OF
ALL ELSE. OUR TRUE RELIGION IS A MONOTHEISM OF CONSCIOUSNESS, A POSSESSION BY IT, COUPLED WITH
A FANATICAL DENIAL OF THE EXISTENCE OF FRAGMENTARY AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS.
*THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF NUMEROUS CONFLICTING EXTERNAL MONOTHEISTIC GODS (AND GODESSES) HAS LED TO MUCH
IRRESPONSIBILITY AMONG HUMANS (WAR, ETC) CAUSING AN IMMENSE AWARENESS DEFICIENCY REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE
OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN POLYTHEISM AND THE COMPARTMENTALIZATION OF INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS (AND THE
CONSEQUENTIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INDIVIDUALITY THAT SHOULD INEVITABLY ENSUE) AND ITS AUGMENTED DUALISTIC
QUANTUM PHYSICAL/MECHANICAL LINK WITH THE UNIFIED FIELD OF UNCONDITIONAL MONOTHEISTIC INNUMERABILITY.
*MANY PORTABLE CLASSROOMS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE MADE OF PLASTICS AND OTHER SYNTHETIC MATERIALS THAT
SLOWLY 'OUTGAS', OR RELEASE, TOXIC COMPOUNDS SUCH AS FORMALDEHYDE, BENZENE OR TOLUENE. SOME SPECULATE THAT NON-AROMATIC FLATULENT METHANE OUTGASSING BY STUDENTS IS ONLY EXACERBATING THE PROBLEM.
