RPSTOVAL REVIEW
Vol. II No. 1 January-February 1992 $1.50
*****************************************************************
The following is the statement to congress from Henry Gonzales;
Texas Republican Congressman. This issue was brought up when the
Iraqi crisis was still in its "Desert Shield" stages. Since the
address below was obviously denied wide coverage, we thought it
would be appropriate to include this before the
upcoming
elections.
January 16, 1991
Mr Speaker, it is with great sadness, yet great conviction, that
I introduce today a Resolution of Impeachment of President Bush.
At a time when our nation is deeply divided over the question of
war, we find ourselves on the brink of a world war of such
magnitude that our minds cannot fully comprehend the destruction
which is allowed to be leveled. The position we are in is a
direct result of the actions of one man and the reaction to
another.
The Iraqi people are as opposed to war as are the American
people, the difference is that the Iraqi people have no choice
but to support their countries leader, but the American people
not only have the right to oppose and speak out in
disagreement with their President, but they have the
responsibility to do so if our democracy is to be preserved.
Today I exercise this constitutional right and responsibility to
speak out in opposition to war in the Middle East and in support
of removal of our nation's chief executive. When I took the oath
of office earlier this month, as I had numerous times before, I
swore to uphold The Constitution. The President's oath was the
same - to uphold the Constitution of The United States. We did
not pledge and oath of allegiance to the President, but to The
Constitution which is the highest law of the land.
The Constitution provides for removal of the President when he
has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, including violations
of the principles of The Constitution. President Bush has
violated these principles. My resolution has five
articles of impeachment. First, the President has violated
the equal protection clause of The Constitution. Our
soldiers in the Middle East are overwhelmingly poor white,
black, and Mexican American. They may be volunteers
technically, but their volunteerism is based on the coercion
of a system that has denied violable economic opportunities to
these classes of citizens. Under The Constitution all
classes of citizens are guaranteed equal protection, and
calling on the poor and minorities to fight a war for oil to
preserve the lifestyles of the wealthy is a denial of the
rights of these soldiers.
Article II states that the President has violated the
Constitution, federal law and the United Nations Charter by
bribing, intimidating and threatening others, including the
members of the United Nations Security Council, to support
belligerent acts against Iraq. It is clear that the President
paid off members of the U.N. Security Council in return for
their votes in support of war against Iraq. The debt of
Egypt was forgiven; a $140 million loan to China was agreed
to; the Soviet Union was promise $7 billion in aid; Colombia was
promised assistance to its armed forces; Zaire was promised
military assistance and partial forgiveness of it's debt; Saudi
Arabia was promised $12 billion in arms; Yemen was threatened
with the termination of support; and the U.S. finally paid off
$187 million of its debt to the United Nations after the vote the
President sought was made. The vote was bought, and it will be
paid for with the lives of black and Mexican-Americans.
Article III states that the President has conspired to engage in
a massive war against Iraq employing methods of mass destruction
that will result in the killing of tens of thousands of
civilians, many of whom will be children. No civilian lives have
yet been lost, that we know of, but when we start using the
weapons of mass destruction that are in place for this war,
there is no doubt that thousands of innocent civilians will lose
their lives. As killings occur, the principles laid down in
the Nuremburg trial will be applicable. Their deaths will not
only be a moral outrage, but they will constitute a violation
of international law.
Article IV states that the President has committed the United
States to acts of war without congressional consent and
contrary to the United Nations Charter and international law.
From August, 1991, through January.1991, the President embarked
on a course of action that systematically eliminated every option
for peaceful resolution of the Persian Gulf crisis. Once the
President approached Congress for a declaration of war, 500,000
American soldiers' lives were in jeopardy-rendering any
substantive debate by Congress meaningless. The President
has not received a declaration of war by Congress, and in
contravention of the written word, the spirit, and the intent of
the views of Constitution had declared that he will go to war
regardless of the views of Congress and the American people.
Congress abdicated its responsibility, but the President
violated the Constitution. I am dismayed with the Congressional
leadership, but I am frightened by the President's unwillingness
to uphold his oath of office in protecting and preserving the
Constitution.
Article V states that the President had conspired to commit
crimes against the peace by leading the United States into
aggressive war against Iraq in violation of Article 2 (4) of the
United Nations Charter, the Nuremberg Charter, other
international instruments and treaties, and the Constitution of
the United States. Again, there is a violation of law by a
President who, believing he is king, decides for the country -
unilaterally - that war is the answer.
Mr. Speaker, it is sad day for our country, and it will be an
even sadder day once the fighting begins. President Bush must
be stopped - a divided Congress, reflecting a divided country, is
no way to conduct a war. The preservation of lives is at
stake, and the preservation of our country - our democracy - is
at stake, as well. I urge my Colleagues to support this
Resolution, and stand up to the President on behalf of the
soldiers who will die, the civilians who will be massacred, and
the Constitution that will be destroyed if this country goes to
war in the Middle East.

LEGALIZE ALL DRUGS NOW
by
Frater W.I.T.
I, Frater W.I.T., firmly believe in the title of this article.
While it is true that drugs destroy many people's lives, it is
equally true that these are a small percentage of the total
number of drug users. The vast majority of users are casual in
their drug taking. Are we all to be victimized by our government
because a few people have a problem? That seems to be the
thinking of politicians in this ultra conservative era. Of
course, it's perfectly fine for people to destroy their lives
with alcohol and tobacco. I guess the political lobbies
supported by these industries are more powerful than others such
as the marijuana lobby. (Yes, there is one.)
Why are drugs REALLY illegal? To protect the American public?
Supporters of the use of drugs have been persecuted since Timothy
Leary. Many drugs can produce profoundly spiritual states of
mind without causing addiction, such as mescaline, have been
outlawed out of hand. These can open up doors to true reality
and forever destroy the narrow world view taught by our society.
In the early 80's Nancy Reagan announced that Republican
propaganda paean, The War on Drugs. For the past twelve years
America has lived - and died - with this civil war. What else is
a war on home soil called? Parents have turned in their children
or kicked them out for using drugs. Children have reported their
parents to the police for drug use. The excuse of "drug search"
has given law enforcers free reign to persecute fringe elements
of society. Also, people have been arrested for singing a song
that a few felt was offensive and even for selling music. Is
there a pattern emerging in all this? Where is The
Constitutions? the Bill of Rights? our freedom of choice?
It is not for a government to set standards of morals and
behavior. In our precious historical political documents we the
people of the United States of America are guaranteed certain
unalienable rights to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
Church is to be kept strictly separate from government. Laws
that violate our rights are not supposed to be passed. Yet, it
is everywhere apparent that our Politicians In Government have
dissolved these barriers to cater to their own greed and ambition
and satisfy the lowest common denominator of society. There are
many who want to be told what to do, what to think, and what to
believe in, by institutionalized authority - as if the people who
run such organizations are greater than human - but not I or any
of my friends. To live as a slave is to trade in human
intelligence for animal stupidity. It's a betrayal to all of us.
It is so very true that the price of freedom is eternal
vigilance. We Americans have not been vigilant and look at the
result. The illegalization of drugs and its illegal sale by our
government to support its shady dealings is just one symptom of
the ever increasing totalitarianism sweeping this country.
Each one of us can do something to help in the constant struggle
for freedom. We can write letters to congresspeople, join and
donate to political parties that really support freedom, and
communicate ardent desire for freedom to continue by writing
articles, newsletters, petition signing, etc. If we show our
government that we are watching what's going on, and love freedom
they will back down from tyranny. Power to the people! Legalize
all drugs now! Further, legalize all other natural activities
currently against the law because of "moral" reasons. (Who's
morals? Certainly not mine.) Legalize prostitution and gambling.
This will not only put an end to a vast amount of crime but allow
police to concentrate on upholding laws that protect peoples
freedoms such as murder, rape, theft, assault, and fraud. This
will be a more pleasant, safer, freer, and more prosperous
country but one with much less opportunity for con-men to
manipulate their way to the top of the political and economic
ladders. Do we really want such a country? Defend freedom; for
the tyrants are at the door - your door!

CHINA'S BEHAVIOR CONSISTENTLY INHUMANE
by
Secundus Kerub
(1-07-92)
Canadian legislators were kicked out of China after being
kidnapped and interrogated for planning to lay flowers in honor
of China's 1989 pro-democracy demonstrators.
Svend Robinson, a New Democratic Party legislator from British
Columbia said: "We were kidnapped and manhandled. It was the
worst treatment of my life." Geoff Scott, a representative from
Ontario and member of the Progressive Party was quoted as saying:
"If this is the kind of human rights the Chinese demonstrate to
legislators of the Canadian Parliament, then God help the people
of China".
It is becoming increasingly clear that Bush's motives to
encourage trade with China is to relieve America's dependence of
Japanese made products. Responsible Americans cannot allow the
exploitation of slave labor at any cost.

WORDS ARE INDICATORS OF SOCIAL ECONOMIC-CONDITION
by
Secundus Kerub
I always thought a "FRIENDLY FIRE" was when you got together with
your friends at camp fires, sang songs and told stories.
There are other words which baffle the imagination: Do you
recall when "SANITARY LANDFILLS" were simply called "dumps".
What is so sanitary about a place we bury our garbage? How
about: "ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS"? the term which described the
condition of your house after a Friday night party.
Remember when a "DRUG RAID" was the never ending quest for better
Acid? and the "BATTERING RAM" was the thing your boy-friend kept
in his pants, or the pet name for your favorite bong?
Do you recall when the "DRUG CZAR" was the guy in your
neighborhood who always had the best weed? or "JUST SAY NO" was
advise given to teenage girls on their first date?
How about "JOINT PAIN"? the phenomena associated with not being
able to score? or "STRATEGIC BOMBING": which meant getting
stoned with a purpose?
How about "RECESSION"? the unfortunate predecessor to balding?
Remember when "INCURABLE SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE" was
herpes? and AIDS was a weight loss plan?
Boy...things sure have changed in the last 10 years! Imagine Rip
Van Winkle waking up in a world where "GOD SQUAD" is a term given
to a group of people instated by our government to decide whether
or not an endagered species should be allowed to go extinct for
economical reasons.

"DON'T SHOOT: I'M ONLY THE PIANO PLAYER"
by
Secundus Kerub
(11-15-91)
The US Department of Defense is planning a comprehensive program
in order to educate military personnel in the proper method of
identifying enemy and friendly vehicles. The program was
instigated by the high number of troops killed by their own side.
Twenty-five percent of American casualties in the Iraq war were
caused by "friendly fire". One can't help but to think of the
shark accidentally eaten by its fellow sharks in a feeding
frenzy.

THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
by
Amare Obscuritas
Jehovah still gets our first born, sometimes our second or our
third. Times have changed since the Hebrew sacrifices; there are
no ceremonies capable of lightening the obscenity of the crime.
We dress them in green uniforms that symbolize our lust for
money, and in our cowardice we send the into the slaughter, that
some unknown enemy may kill the most important things in our
lives. A small price to pay, a token to prove our loyalty, a
gesture of thanks for the vulgar life we live. We create a void
which will never go away.
We are environmentally conscious now, haven't you heard? we bury
them in neat recyclable aluminum boxes; a way to ensure they stay
locked inside, unable to seek their deserved revenge. But their
smiling faces will come back to haunt us every time we see
another child, in more fortunate hands.
Or sometimes we burn their bodies to ashes, where they mix with
the filth in the air and their smoky gray fingers seem to tighten
around our throats while their lifeless faces remind us of their
unconditional love.
He asked you: "Dad, do you want me to die?", you turned your
back on him, to face a bloody flag and said: "Yes".

THE CULINARY CORNER
by
Soror Alice
COOKING WITH HEMP SEED
Keeping in line with this months issue; I thought the following
recipe would fit in rather well! A few notes on one of the
ingredients found in this recipe is in order. Firstly, some
nutrition facts; Hemp seed the second most complete vegetable
protein on the planet. Soybeans have more protein, but hemp seed
is utilized more efficiently by the body AND its less expensive
to produce. Secondly, hemp seed contains more enzymes than any
food. One pound of hemp seed contains almost 25% protein!
Thirdly, irradiated hemp seed will NOT get you high and is
legally available.
This recipe contains hemp seed "meal". To prepare the meal, the
seeds are dry roasted in the oven on a cookie sheet at 250-300
degrees for 20 to 30 min. or until crunching one between your
teeth produces a pleasant roasted flavor. When they cool, put
them into a blender VERY BRIEFLY to crack the hulls. Separate the
meal from the hulls by using a coarse strainer. Put the meal
into a grinder of some sort and grind through twice. And there
you have your finished seed meal.
HEMP ENRICHED SALAD DRESSING
Put into a blender:
1/4 pound firm tofu
1 Tablespoon hemp seed meal
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 crushed clove
1 juiced lemon
1 cup chopped herbs (basil or dill, parsley & cilantro)
1/2 chopped onion (small)
1/2 chopped green pepper
1 Tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
*1/2 teaspoon garam masala
* (this is a mix of spices, including ground coriander,ground
cumin, and ginger, available from Indian specialty shops; or you
can make your own)
Turn on blender and slowly add:
1 cup olive oil
And there it is. I would personally like to thank Frater W.I.T.
for his wonderful input on this subject. Enjoy!

WHAT HAS BUSH BEEN SMOKING?
by
Secundus Kerub
Well folks, here we are: 1992, a failing economy, no sign of a
health care program worth mentioning, and no relief of heavy
taxation in mind, and I have to ask just one question: How is
the Bush administration using our millions of tax dollars to
fight the "war on drugs"?
While people everywhere are losing their jobs, homes, and pride,
criminals are being bribed by the administration to testify
against Manuel Noriega. Remember him? when we went into another
country and invaded it to kidnap that country's leader?
Floyd Carlton, airplane pilot/drug smuggler - received permission
to bring his drug earnings in from Panama, and has been granted
US citizenship for his wife, three children, and nanny.
Ricardo Belonick - allowed to keep $3.9 million in drug money and
the charges for tax evasion have been lifted.
Ricardo Streidinger - the man the Justice Department referred to
as "the number 1 drug man in the U.S." - granted immunity from
prosecution and allowed to keep his planes and yachts in Key
Biscayne.
Steven Kalish, serving a life sentence plus 245 years - sentence
reduced to 9 years (gets out in 1993) and has received $500,000
to pay his legal bills.
All this to justify the Bush Administration's little multi-
billion dollar invasion of Panama to get Manuel Noriega: not
because he was involved in the drug trade, but because he was
pals with a small time communist named Fidel Castro.
It is obvious that the Bush administration is going to great
lengths and expense to hide the lies and obscenities it has
committed: at our expense and with our money.
And to further insult our intelligence he has announced that he
plans to increase the "war on drugs" funding to $12.7 billion
dollars in 1992. In a speech to the National Religious
Broadcasters, Bush said he intends to spend $500 million on a
program called "weed and seed", which will enable local law
enforcement agencies to work together with federal agents.
Considering the under-handed dealings which continue in The White
House, the drug money laundering, the weapons trafficking, the
covert operations whereby CIA agents act as middle men for
nations exchanging drugs for weapons, it seem's clear that what
the Bush Administration really wants is a monopoly on drug
dealing. It is simply doing away with the competition.

BUSH ADMINISTRATION FAILS TO RECOGNIZE CHILDREN'S RIGHTS
by
Soror Alice
After decades of debate the United Nations General Assembly in
1989 decided to recognize the Children's Bill of Rights. Since
then the bill has been signed by 109 countries and to this date
enacted by 40 of them. The bill states the following rights for
children:
The right to affection, love and understanding.
The right to adequate nutrition and medical care.
The right to full opportunity for play and recreation.
The right to a name and nationality.
The right to be among the first to receive relief in times of
disaster.
The right to learn to be a useful member of society and to
develop individual abilities.
The right to be brought up in a spirit of universal peace and
brother/sisterhood.
The right to enjoy these rights, regardless of race, color,
sex, religion, national or social origin.
Since that time the United States has neither recognized nor
signed this history making bill. President Bush is often
photographed with school children touting his "education" status;
but he falls short of his "goal" by failing to support this
legislation. PLEASE write your local legislator(s) and most
importantly write to the President and demand that he adopt this
bill NOW!
Remember: children ARE the future.

THE AMERICAN VOTE
- 1992 Style -
by
Frater Alizar
Well, another election year is here, YAWN, YAWN, right. WRONG!!
Even though we, as Americans, choose the person that occupies the
highest elected office in the land every 4 years, every year is
an election year and every election is important.
America has set yet another record that the rest of the world
will not soon beat. We have the ABSOLUTE WORST voter turnout of
any democracy in the world. Elections are routinely decided by
less than half of the eligible voting population. America has
grown complacent! All around the world there are people fighting
and dying for the right to vote and we, as Americans, take our
right to vote for granted.
You've heard it all before... Mine is just one vote, it doesn't
really matter in the overall scheme of things, All the candidates
are crooks, There is no one worth voting for, so I'm not going to
vote, It doesn't matter who gets elected, Nothing is going to
change regardless of who gets elected, All the politicians are
out of touch with the common person, and on, and on, and on...
Well folks I'm here to tell you that YOUR vote DOES matter, there
are many elections that are decided by just a few votes and some
by just ONE! Yes, that one vote could be yours! Now I am not
here to tell you what issues to vote for or against, or which
candidate to vote for or against; that is up to you!
I hear you saying that it is too much of a hassle to register and
then go and cast your ballot on election day. Well, here in
America, you can go to the Post Office and ask for a voter
registration form and register by mail, and you can call a phone
number and get an absentee ballot and mail it in, no long lines
to wait in on election day. Or you can just say 'the heck with
it' and sit at home and watch TV on election day, but if the day
should come that you lose the privilege of being able to vote
freely, you'll only have yourself to blame. And if you didn't
bother to cast a ballot; don't bother to complain about any
decisions that were made by any of the people that were elected.
Every man and woman in this country possesses a powerful Magick,
that magick is a say in the direction of our collective destiny -
the right to vote. You can be your own master or...
"...the slaves shall serve."
