Pope 'tried exorcism on woman'

   Pope John Paul II tried to exorcise the Devil from a young
   woman who appeared to be possessed during the pontiff's
   latest general audience, a Rome newspaper has claimed.

   Il Messaggero quoted a priest and noted exorcist, the Rev.
   Gabriele Amorth, as saying that the Pope comforted the
   19-year-old Italian woman who was brought to him at the end
   of Wednesday's audience in St. Peter's Square

   At the end of the audience, as the pope was giving his blessing
   to the crowd of some 30,000 faithful, she began shouting, and
   then yelling insults at Vatican official Bishop Gianni Danzi who
   was trying to calm her, Il Messaggero reported.

Bishop Danzi said: "I have nothing to say," when called at his
Vatican residence for comment on the report.

   The Rev Amorth said that on Thursday afternoon he performed
   an exorcism on the woman, described as having had problems
   for several years.

   The woman was seated in one of the front rows in the square
   with her parents who were hoping for some beneficial effect
   from her seeing the pope, Il Messaggero said.

   Immediately after the audience, security was unusually heavy,
   with police blocking people from entering the square for a
   while, but no reason was then given.

Arafat -- Holy Sites Are First Targets

YOWUSA.COM, September 11, 2000
Marshall Masters

In a heated interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour last Thursday, Yasser
Arafat may have very well revealed where the next conflict will begin if a
peace agreement is not reached soon.

The full interview was aired Sunday morning on CNN´s World News program,
during which Arafat realized that he had slipped up and then abruptly
ended the interview by pulling off his clip-on microphone. He then
brusquely departed the interview cubicle surrounded by Palestinian
staffers with very concerned looks on their faces. Something was said that
should have not been said.

The Obvious Slip

During most of his interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour he skillfully
deflected her questions with the usual pat answers.

To Amanpour´s credit, she did not conduct the usual Larry King style
interview, but chose to drive home her questions, with unrelenting
intensity.

When she questioned him on the issue of shared sovereignty over
Jerusalem, Arafat again deflected the question with a bulleted statement:

"I can't betray my people. I can't betray the Arabs. I can't betray the
Christians. I can't betray the Moslems"

As I have mentioned, this problem in Jerusalem it is for the Arabs,
Christians and Muslims.”

It is interesting to note Arafat´s statesman like control of his own body
language. He knows that he has this answered covered, and proceeds with a
prepared answer, expecting that Amanpour would simply move on to something
less intrusive. However, she did not.

Undaunted, Amanpour returned to the same issue of shared sovereignty from
a completely different angle by asking Arafat if he would prolong the
peace process.

Amanpour asked, “Would it be safer and better for you to extend this state
of affairs that certain people would say is a sellout?”

Arafat responded: "First of all, I respect I had mentioned and promised my
people, my nation, my religions, the Christianity and Islam and I'm not
going to betray them.

I will continue to liberate all Islamic and Muslim holy places. If not
(pointing to himself) another one will come along to liberate it."

At this point, Arafat´s body language took a pronounced shift. It was
obvious that Amanpour´s determined efforts were annoying him. He shifted
from his usual relaxed demeanor, and began leaning forward in his chair
and began insistently pointing a finger at Amanpour.

Another reporter would have read the obvious shift in body language and
moved on to a less intrusive question in order to relax the interviewee.
However, by this time in the interview Amanpour was likewise becoming more
intense if not personal. That was when she framed her next question with
a simple statement that obviously inflamed Arafat. “Your people want an
economic future.”

The impact of this simple statement was obvious, Amanpour was essentially
implying is that economics is the main objective for the majority of
Palestinians. With that statement the tension between them rose another
notch and Arafat said: “We Palestinians our first targets is our land (the
land of the holy places).”

At this point, Arafat leaned towards her and asked her if she knew what
the holy places were, and after expressing several choppy thoughts
suddenly leaned back in his chair and immediately changed his body
language. The change was unmistakable. He obviously realized that he had
said something that he would not have said, were he in control of the
interview.

He feigned a quick smile and announced that the interview was over. He
then began pulling the clip-on microphone from his lapel and a very
concerned Palestinian aide walked onto the set to help him undo the
wireless microphone device.

Without so much as a goodbye, he left leaving his back to a shocked
Amampur who could only mumble her thanks for the interview.

An Unfortunate Choice of Language?

The following sequence of events in this interview demonstrate a revealing
moment:

*Tensions between Arafat and Amampur escalate over an unbroken series of
pointed questions and statements by Amampur.

*In a moment of heated passion, Arafat uses the word “targets” in
conjunction with Muslim holy sites.

*Arafat moves quickly to regain his posture and rudely terminates the
interview by pulling off the wireless microphone from his lapel.

*With the help of an aide, Arafat quickly leaves the interview set.

The Difference a Word Makes

After a year of Clinton´s Monicagate, America is still wondering what “is”
really means so why get picky with just one word -- targets? In a word,
context.

Arafat is an accomplished public speaker with a superb command of the
English language. As a politician, he knows that the word “targets”
carries military overtones. The fact that he moved so quickly and rudely
to end the interview indicates that he realized that he had mistakenly
used the the word “targets” in what some would call a classic Freudian
Slip that revealed his inner thoughts based on conversations he has shared
with others.

If you feel that this analysis is too focused on the word “targets” then
ask yourself this question, “what single act of terror would inflame the
Arab world more than the sudden and violent destruction of a treasured
Muslim holy site.

Would Arafat himself want such a thing to happen? Doubtedly not. But
what he may know is there is someone with less reverence for Muslim holy
sites and that this person harbors the desire to inflame a regional
conflict. For such a person, bombing a Muslim holy site would be an
inexpensive and expedient way to start a new war in the Middle East which
could serve to foment another world war.

42 foot joint marks new 'Olympic' event

   A man called Chicken George rode through Sydney on a 42
   foot-long joint to mark the climax of an Olympic event with a
   difference.

   The Hemp Olympix, in the city's Victoria Park, featured a joint
   rolling contest, with contestants tested for speed and artistry,
   and a bong throwing contest.

   An actress pretending to be Princess Anne opened the
   Olympix saying: "Hemp, hemp, hooray." She then lit a
   regal-sized spliff.

   The 42 foot-long joint had rolled down Broadway to Town
   Hall. A red-painted tip glowed at the monster reefer's business
   end. The words, "Let It Grow," ran along one side. The other
   was stencilled: "The Law is the Crime".

   It was followed by a phalanx of amused mounted policemen.
   Marijuana use is illegal in Australia, but enforcement is not
   draconian.

   Police Sgt. John Tate laughed when asked what he thought of
   escorting a giant joint and half-naked dancers through the heart
   of Sydney.

He said: "It's such a minor offence. Let 'em have their fun."

   The fake Princess Anne praised the OLympix's sense of reality
   in the face of the "Over-the-Top-Olympics," which get under
   way on Friday. Declaring herself Hempress of Gaia, she said:
   "It gives me great pleasure not being the queen, not opening the
   Not Olympics. Hemp, hemp, hooray."

   Lisa Yeates, the actress in royal clothing, later said these
   "games" had a serious purpose: to focus attention on drug laws
   that send youths to jail.

   The games were sponsored by growers of the hippie
   community of Nimbin, north of Sydney, whose annual Mardi
   Grass campaigns for drug education, control of dangerous
   narcotics and a reform of drug laws.

A Possible New Job for Clinton

United Press International - September 10, 2000

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- The U.N. Millennium Summit last week was
probably Bill Clinton's last international gathering as president of the United
States, but it may have opened the way for a future political activity, a
European source suggested Sunday.

Between sessions at the United Nations and contacts with other heads of
state and government, Clinton attended a meeting of the Third Way, the
ongoing discussion among European and some Latin American leaders on
how to create a new political philosophy -- a new way -- positioned
somewhere between free-market capitalism and state socialism.

Clinton has been a regular participant in the discussions since British Prime
Minister Tony Blair introduced him to the concept in 1998. Last week Clinton
attended a Third Way meeting with other regulars including Blair and German
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.

At the meeting it was decided to reconvene in Sweden next spring. Clinton
said he much regretted that he would not be able to attend because he
would no longer be president next year. "Then you must come as referee,"
said Italy's Prime Minister Giuliano Amato.

The European source, who asked not to be named, said some Third Way
participants left the meeting with the impression that Clinton welcomed the
idea of being "a permanent member of the group." The source said, "He was
there from the beginning, and he's enormously intelligent and articulate, and
he's made a valuable contribution to the debate."

According to reports, the Third Way is considering setting up a left-of-center
counterpart organization to the Socialist International on the left, and the
International Democratic Union on the right. The source said some Third
Way members thought Amato had this in mind when he talked about Clinton
being "referee."

The Third Way favors establishing a balance between the inescapable power
of competitive markets and policies seeking to provide good social coverage --
job training, health benefits, and pensions -- all ideas Clinton favors.

Subject: [BPR] - Thank You and Some Thoughts
From: bpr-list@philologos.org("Charlie")
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 13:34:17 -0400

Dear Moza:

I would like to thank you all for the information you have been
sending out on BPR, especially the news of the historic meeting of the
150 heads of state in NY. When I considered the importance of this
meeting relative to the future of the world of man, I was amazed at the
lack of coverage given to it by the secular press. The information you
were able to obtain and send out really helped to fill that void.
Praise the Lord!

        In thinking about the prophecies relating to the last week of Daniel´s
70th week I have been intrigued by the wording of some of them, as
follows:
        Daniel 9:27 is one of them. I think it is probable that, in order to
overcome the impasse in the peace talks between Israel and the
Palestinians, the City of Jerusalem will be declared a ‘universal city´,
as has been suggested by some national figures. The prophecy states:
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to
cease,…" This does not say the covenant will be confirmed with the
nation Israel but ‘with many´ and the many could be the major religions
who will be permitted to worship in Jerusalem, including the pseudo
‘christian´ Catholic church. If Jerusalem is declared a ‘Universal
City" and such a covenant it signed, I expect that, as part of the
‘covenant´, the major religions will be permitted to worship in the
city. Under such a ‘covenant´ the Israelites would be permitted to
build a temple and re-institute the daily sacrifice. Then, at the time
the coming world ruler is given power, he will confirm the covenant with
‘the many´, the major religions, including the Israelites. They will
continue to observe their rituals until, in the midst of the 7 years, he
will break the covenant with Israel and stop the daily sacrifice. Praise
the Lord!
        Revelation 17:12 is another one, we are told of the ten kings which
have no kingdom, as yet, but who ‘receive power as kings for one hour
with the beast´. This does not say they are given kingdoms, per se, nor
are crowned, but they are given ‘power as kings´, power such as kings
would have, for one hour with the beast. The cost of the recent
monumental meeting in NY, as I understand it, was financed by certain
mega-money moguls, including Mr.Turner - who is an outspoken advocate of
a One World Government. I think he could be one of the 10, who have
‘one mind´ and ‘give their power and strength unto the beast´. I think,
too, the power and strength referred to is money. By bringing 150 heads
of nations together, as was done, the ‘money men´ have exhibited that
power and their strength lies in the fact that they control the money in
the world today. It would appear that, in this instance, they gave
their power to The United Nations and they stayed in the background.
The UN is strapped for cash and would be unable to bear the cost that
must have been involved in the meeting in question. This, too, would
answer the questions regarding, the ‘ten kings´ in the prophecy in
Daniel 7:24, as to ‘another´ king that shall arise, after the ten
kings. This king is not a 'money man' but he takes over the ‘power and
strength´ of three of them. Praise the Lord!

Just wanted to share my thoughts with you. It seems to me to ‘fit´.
Praise the Lord!

God Bless you all. Sincerely, Charlie Baker.

Subject: [BPR] - A Wireless Revolution Called Bluetooth
From: bpr-list@philologos.org("Moza")
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 18:16:46 -0400

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

A Wireless Revolution Called Bluetooth
Companies are racing to build products with a new wireless
system that could link every machine on earth

Picture a boy climbing on a train from Dusseldorf to Brussels, circa 2002.
He switches on his handheld video game, and after a couple of seconds a
message pops up on the screen: Someone else nearby is playing the same
game, so would he like to join in? By hitting ''yes,'' the boy sends a
low-power radio signal that links his machine to the other. It's as if they're
connected by a cable. And the two children, who might not even see each
other, play as if they're sitting in the same living room.

This is Bluetooth. First conceived in the Swedish laboratories of Ericsson
(ERICY) and named for a 10th-century Viking king, it's a short-range radio
hookup that resides on a microchip. A consortium of tech companies
worldwide--from Intel (INTC) and IBM (IBM) to Nokia (NOK), Sony
(SNE), and Microsoft (MSFT)--are racing to build this hookup into their
products. When Bluetooth is in place, for instance, you'll be able to zap data
from your cell phone to a nearby printer or use your handheld Palm
computer to control your DVD player.

Of course, similar radio signals already perform their magic, from buttons on
keys that unlock car doors to wireless PC networks in homes and offices.
And plenty of machines communicate through infrared signals. But Bluetooth
proposes a signal stronger than infrared and more pervasive than wireless
office networks. This one goes through walls. What's more, the radio signal
carrying one megabyte of data per second--about 20 times the speed of a
dial-up modem--can carry voices as well as data.

And Bluetooth proposes a common signal for the entire world. By offering
the technology free of royalties, the consortium is hoping to create a
standard that will spread to billions of machines worldwide. Cahners In-Stat
Group, a Newton (Mass.) research organization, predicts that Bluetooth will
make its way into 1.4 billion appliances by 2005. This could generate $5
billion in sales, most of it going to the chipmakers who are already designing
computer chips with the new radio systems.

Initially, Bluetooth will simply replace cables. With the first IBM computer
cards coming out this fall, for example, travelers will be able to synchronize
the data in their laptops and palmtops simply by putting them in the same
room.

''A CORE TECHNOLOGY.'' Only a minor advance. But if Bluetooth
takes off, the wireless technology could spread to virtually every appliance,
from cars to gas meters. This could give birth to startling new networks in
homes and offices. Upon arriving in Tokyo, for example, a forgetful New
Yorker with a cell phone could turn off the oven back home and switch on
the burglar alarm. ''Over the next 12 to 18 months, it will become a core
technology for just about everything,'' says David Shirley, a marketing
manager for Hewlett-Packard in France. The implications are vast. Just as
the Internet has lassoed together the world's computers, Bluetooth promises
to extend that network, by means of its 10-meter radio signal, to nearly
every machine on earth.

Yet this new power brings with it new dangers. In a world where machines
blab among themselves, personal privacy is at risk. Users must take care to
close access to entire home and office networks to keep intruders from their
bank accounts and security systems.

This is all assuming that Bluetooth will take off like a rocket. But for that to
happen, the industry faces crucial tests. First, it must make sure that
microwave ovens, cordless phone signals, and other wireless networks don't
interfere with Bluetooth signals. Success could vary from region to region.
More important, manufacturers must come up with applications that are
easy to set up and operate. If this happens, demand should grow, which will
in turn permit chipmakers to produce in quantity, driving down the cost of a
Bluetooth chip far down from today's $50. ''If the price goes down to $5,
you'll have Bluetooth everywhere,'' says Thierry Laurent, general manager at
Philips Semiconductors. Industry experts expect those $5 chips within four
years.

MORE MAGIC? The push for Bluetooth comes from Europe. The region
raced to world leadership in mobile phones by establishing a unified
technology standard. Looking for another dose of the same magic,
Sweden's Ericsson three years ago proposed a low-power radio standard
to American chip titan Intel. The idea was that everyone's products would
fare better in the marketplace if they could communicate wirelessly with
each other. Since then, the so-called Bluetooth Consortium has spread to
include nearly 2,000 companies, including virtually all of the big ones.

The Europeans, naturally, are banking on Bluetooth to enhance their
specialty, the cell phone. Already, nearly half a billion people carry mobile
phones. And with Bluetooth, the device could easily morph into an
all-purpose remote control. But the Bluetooth push is global. Asia's
electronics giants are devising wireless links for a host of consumer devices,
from digital cameras to MP3 players. And America's computer industry, led
by Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp., is betting that home networks will grow
around the PC. ''The key will be next year, when Bluetooth comes out on
Windows,'' predicts Michael W. Foley, software architect in Microsoft's
mobile-devices division.

For starters, Bluetooth will replace cables. Early applications will provide
links between laptops and cell phones. Travelers who want to Web-surf
from a laptop, for example, will be able to transmit through a
Bluetooth-equipped cellular phone connection, but without hooking up
cables or relying on infrared links. Indeed, they won't even need to remove
the phone from their briefcase. Bluetooth should also bypass the cables to
PC accessories, from the mouse to the keyboard. ''It has the potential to do
away with six or seven ports on the back of a notebook,'' says Ronald
Sperano, IBM director for the mobile market. With time, Bluetooth should
forge new networks, leaving the cabled universe far behind.

And how will this work? Imagine that a person with a houseful of
Bluetooth-powered appliances comes home with a new cell phone. As he
switches it into the receiving mode, the phone immediately carries out an
inventory of the house. It finds that the TV, the stove, and two computers
have Bluetooth. It asks if he wants connections with them. If he answers
yes, the appliances link up. By following menus, he can monitor the TV, turn
down the oven, and exchange data with the computers, all from his phone.
And by calling into the network from a cell phone, he can run the system
from anywhere.

Things start getting complicated when someone else carries a cell phone into
the house. If the owner of the home network isn't careful to limit access,
promiscuous appliances will dally with just about anyone. Naturally, the
industry provides loads of protection, including encryption and passwords.
But a teenager, for example, might open the system so that a friend can play
video games or download music. And if that Bluetooth door is left open,
outsiders could barge in.

The new radio system could also convulse the phone industry. When people
carrying Bluetooth-powered cell phones enter office buildings, hotels, or
airports, their phones may well link up with the wired-phone systems in
place. This means that instead of making calls that are billed to their cellular
carrier--Vodafone AirTouch PLC, for example, or Sprint--they will simply
hitch a ride on the fixed-line network nearby. They could even do this at
home, sending cellular calls through a broadband connection. This could
create vast islands in the marketplace where the cellular carriers fail to cash
in on traffic. Still, free cell calls from the home and office may well lead
people to switch for good to mobile phones, which benefits the cellular
industry. Says Stefan Krook, CEO of Glocalnet, a Swedish carrier: ''The
more people use their mobile phones, the quicker the old-fashioned ones
will disappear.''

PAYDAY. None of this will happen overnight. For now, would-be pioneers
have to fork out $100 for PC cards to equip their laptops with Bluetooth. It
won't be until next year that the system will come installed as a standard on
most PCs and cell phones, with printers, stereos, and televisions following in
short order.

That's when the rush begins--assuming Bluetooth is easy to use. And the
payoff? It could extend beyond the realm of machines, all the way to human
communication. Consider those kids on the train. Once the Bluetooth
connection is in place, chances are they'll peek above the seats and hunt
each other out. And if their languages are synchronized as smoothly as their
machines, they might even talk.

JERUSALEM STILL UNDER DISCUSSION
Acting Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami, who is conducting negotiations
with the Palestinians on behalf of Israel, believes it possible to reach an
agreement that will grant the PA "full functional autonomy" over the Temple
Mount, but not complete sovereignty. Dr. Aaron Lerner of Independent Media
Review & Analysis (IMRA) reported today that it was not clear whether Ben-
Ami's autonomy plan included control over security or other matters.

Ben-Ami welcomed yesterday's PLO decision to postpone the declaration of
a state, and said that it demonstrates a "Palestinian willingness to reach an
agreement within the next few weeks."

Arutz-7 correspondent Haggai Huberman noted today that the PLO decision
purposely did not mention that the declaration of a state was being
"postponed," but rather noted that the preparations for the declaration must
be completed by Nov. 15. Huberman said that, despite statements by
certain Palestinian figures to the contrary, there was no implication in
yesterday's decision that the PA was planning to take full control of Area B
(areas that are currently under Israeli military control and Palestinian
administrative control). "Yesterday's decision means that the Oslo
agreements are continuing exactly as before," Huberman said. "The
decision noted that the interim agreement expires on Sept. 13 only in order
to demand that Israel fulfill [what the PLO feels are] the Israeli obligations to
withdraw from Judea and Samaria and release Arab terrorists from prison..."

"The Palestinians realized," explained Huberman, "that they would have the
most to lose by declaring the Oslo accords null and void. For instance,
there would be no 'free passage' between Gaza and Judea, nor would there
be joint patrols, which would mean that no Israelis can enter Area A (under
full Palestinian control) - which would mean that the Jericho casino ceases
to exist... Nor would Israel transfer the tax monies that it gives to the PA...
In short, the PA is not interested in calling off the Oslo accords." Huberman
also said that the Palestinians are currently not interested in a violent clash
with Israel, and "Israel's security evaluation is that there will not be violence
over the next few weeks."

ILLEGAL GIFT?
Likud officials have asked Attorney-General Elyakim Rubenstein to nullify
Prime Minister Barak's decision to make a multi-billion dollar gift to
Arafat of a license to drill for gas in Israeli waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
"Barak has simply given a multi-billion dollar gift to Arafat, while trampling
the law in the process," Naveh said. The law requires that granting such a
permit requires Knesset and government approval.
