Interantional Christian Embassy Jerusalem - 09/04/98 Diplomatic sources in Cairo said they expect the US to direct a military strike at Iraq in October if Baghdad continues its refusal to cooperate with the UN committee charged with searching for weapons of mass destruction in that country. The Internet-based ARABIC NEWS reported at the weekend that the sources said the US had "informed France, Russia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Egypt that it expect[ed] to be supported in military operations against Iraq if Baghdad continued its current status". The sources said Washington had reached an understanding with France and Russia after the US agreed earlier this year to delay plans for a strike at Iraq in favour of a mediation effort by UN 's secretary-general Kofi Annan. "In case of Iraq's insistence on its current status, the military operations will aim at weakening the Iraqi regime to the utmost degree in order not to defy the Security Council's resolution," the sources told ARABIC NEWS.

The DrudgeReport must be experiencing problems right now -- probably Y2K related (gg). Here is some of it: DRUDGE REPORT By Matt Drudge Thu Sep 03 19:30:59 1998 STARR DEPUTY: PROBE IS OF 'CONSTITUTIONAL AND HISTORIC IMPORTANCE' Court Papers Reveal Tripp Key Witness in Travelgate, FBI Files In unsealed court papers, a deputy in the Office of Independent Counsel declares that theinvestigation of alleged White House wrongdoing is of "constitutional and historic importance" that reaches "to the highest level of the federal government." And in a stunning twist, Independent counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation of "Filegate" and "Travelgate" -- thought to be dormant -- are continuing and "in extremely sensitive stages, "according to his deputy, Robert Bittman. "These investigations are factually and legally complex and they involve issues of singular and historic importance," Bittman wrote in court papers obtained by the WASHINGTON TIMES. TIMES reporter Bill Sammon is first to break the development. Bittman's court arguments helped persuade a federal judge to postpone Friday's scheduled deposition of FBIFILESTRAVELOFFICEMONICALEWINSKY witness Linda Tripp, which had been requested by JUDICIAL WATCH. "Premature disclosure could affect the testimony of witnesses, and it could affect the behavior of targets" in several broad criminal investigations, Bittman pleaded. Sammon reports: "When Judicial Watch first tried to subpoena Mrs. Tripp two weeks ago, the process server was turned away at Mrs. Tripp's Columbia, Maryland home by Starr representatives." A second subpoena was accepted by Tripp's lawyer. Judicial Watch chairman Larry Klayman was set to videotape Tripp in a discovery session for a lawsuit brought by victims of the FBI files episode. Starr moved to block the testimony of his key witness, as Tripp's lawyer, Anthony Zaccagnini, moved to ban the video camera. "Mr. Zaccagnini stated a likely concern of Ms. Tripp in being videotaped was that it would reduce her marketability to sell her story for television appearances," Klayman argued in aaffidavit. "Eventually, Mr. Zaccagnini decided it was not in his clients interest to be exposed after all and asked to excuse her," reports Sammon. X X X X X "President Clinton is the subject of a new Justice Department probe to determine whether an independent counsel should investigate allegations that he personally violated campaign spending laws during his 1996 re-election effort," the WASHINGTON POST reported in late Thursday editions. The president's private attorney David Kendall met with top Justice Department officialsWednesday in an effort to convince them that no further investigation was justified, says thepaper. "What specific information triggered the new inquiry could not be determined Wednesday night,but officials familiar with the matter said that it arrived at the Justice Department threeweeks ago and prompted a fresh review of Clinton's role in orchestrating the DNC's advertising efforts." Developing... X X X X X NBC'S LISA MYERS STEALS DRUDGE REPORT She said it was "Breaking News." She said that she had just learned it... "Monica Lewinsky had a sexual encounter with the president in his White House study, hours after Clinton attended Easter services with his family," rushed Myers. NBC's Myers broke the "breaking news" on MSNBC Wednesday evening. She then rushed it over to the network, breaking the breaking on NBC NIGHTLY NEWS. There was fallout all over the peacock. On CNBC's Chris Matthews HARDBALL, White House sex on Easter Sunday dominated conversation. HARDBALL guest, TIME magazine Karen Tumulty, told Matthews, "The White House has known this was coming for three days now." Well? Of course White House staffers knew the sex/church story was coming -- they read it in the DRUDGE REPORT. And so did Lisa Myers. Late Wednesday, a senior NBC producer explained that he was "aware" of a DRUDGE REPORT slugged "exclusive" that moved late Sunday night: "Sex on Sundays." The producer went silent when asked why there was no credit given to its original author. DRUDGE: "One date in question, Easter Sunday, April 7, 1996." MYERS: A Lewinsky visit on April 7, 1996 - Easter Sunday. DRUDGE: President Clinton attended an Easter Sunday church service that was filled with references to the death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and the other 32 Americans killed in a plane crash in Croatia earlier that week. MYERS: Clinton was publicly mourning Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and his staff on that Easter, days after they were killed in a plane crash in Croatia. DRUDGE: After attending Easter Sunday church services with his wife Hillary Clinton, President Bill Clinton reportedly shared some private time with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. MYERS: [Lewinsky] had a sexual encounter with the president in his White House study, hours after Clinton attended Easter services with his family. ...And to think that it was just last week that NBC NEWS forever-tanned-anchor Brian Williams referred to the DRUDGE REPORT website by saying: "It rhymes with 'grudge.'" "You mean 'sludge,'" laughed NEWSWEEK reporter Howard Slimeman. Well. All is better than FUDGE. Myers did not return repeated phone calls seeking explanation on Wednesday. NBC NEWS president Andy Lack was on vacation and not available for comment on the Myers theft.

Anonymous letter: The stock market is something that I am intimately familiar with. I am a very active stock investor and have been for many years. I did okay last week. Dow was down 186 on Thursday and 132 on Friday and I still managed to be ahead a little by the close on Friday. But on Monday the Dow collapsed 556 points and I was set back considerably - as all US stocks were punished severely and there was no place to go or to hide. (note: I buy US stocks exclusively) Tuesday I recovered almost all of what was lost on Monday. But now, on Thursday, after analyzing what has happened in the financial markets I have made an unprecedented decision to sell all - and at the earliest reasonable opportunity. Yes - I think this crash was a manipulated situation. The 'coincidence' of the big man from China visiting the US at the same moment that the crash happened is too overwhelming. The global crash was a 'message' to the world from mainland China "wake up people of the world - we have arrived - we will not be ignored - it's a different ball game now." There are very powerful forces with enormous cash reserves and they can and do cause these crashes - and have done so many times in the past as has been written and talked about for years. But in the past it was different - they could only crashed local or single country markets. Now, with computers and the linked economies of the world they can cause global crashes - as they just proved. The reason behind the current crash was currency speculation - which is technical but ultimately involves the exchange ratios between currencies. In the weeks leading up to the crash, there was a systematic 'currency attack' on Thailand and Indonesia and then the coup-de-grace: Hong Kong, which ultimately triggered the world wide crash. These powerful international sharks have ravaged the economies of much of SE Asia and now the Pacific basin by attacking their currencies. It is clear (to me at least) that the ultimate motive behind this is to get people of the world to accept a single global currency. But in order to get the 'man in the street' to pay attention to such lofty matters they have to cause disasters - like currency disasters and stock market collapses - which if taken to the extreme will cripple economies and put millions of people out of work. They are softening up people the world-over to accept a single currency - and with that will (ultimately) come the Mark. Right now I think the immediate crisis is over - the 'China' message was sent - and they accomplished their primary objective of determining how to best use their incredible financial power to cause a global stock market collapse. This was the dry run. The BIG collapse is now coming. They now have all the tools and have made themselves even fabulously richer in this recent crash - and will be working to crash all the markets again - but next time they aren't going to let them recover. They are going down and they are going to collapse to ashes, including the US and Europe as well as Japan and Singapore and HK and all. It is my opinion that this time they will recover - and may even reach new highs. People will grow confident again and when they have sucked all the money out of people the powerful enemy will really pull the plug and will drive all the markets to essentially zero. This will truly cause such widespread revolutions and chaos and poverty that the people will demand that the governments be thrown out - that international order be established - and that a single world currency be implemented (to prevent future currency speculation, don't you know.) The plan is brilliant in its straight-forward simplicity and I believe that it will work very quickly and very effectively when the right time comes. ...my advice - which I am taking for myself - is to allow the markets to recover - the big damage has been done now and they should heal a little - and may recover most of the loss and could even possibly set new highs by next Feb-Mar. But do not be fooled - get your money out when it looks like the opportunity is there - don't stay in too long because the next time it crashes it is going all the way - and it isn't coming back - so you will be ruined. Along with this has been the 'curious' fact that gold and silver are now worthless to protect you in a crash. ...hmmmmm..... think about it - let's say that you are smart and you sell your stocks and now you want money to buy food - but you don't want to use the world currency they are going to force on you - so what do you 'do' with your 'old money' (assuming there is a transition period to phase in the new currency)??? - "aha you say - I'll buy gold" - but they just laugh and say "go ahead - it is worthless". And it will be worthless once the international bankers finish untying all of the world's currencies from gold. The only value gold and silver will have then will be as an industrial metal. So they leave you no place to run - except to them and to the Mark.... ...in fact - this is just what is predicted in Revelation about gold and silver during the great tribulation - they are considered just about worthless (however there will be a black market during the tribulation so gold will have some value there)... so gold will always buy food for you but people will not be able to live in comfort by preserving their wealth through buying gold. There is no doubt that we have entered a new phase of the end times. It is going to get much worse - ultimately, no one will be spared. Each person will have to decide for God - or for money and comfort (and thus against God) - and that day is coming fast.
