EVERYTHING YOUVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT AIDS IS A LIE!
New Book by K.U. Graduate Argues that "AIDS" and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Are Part of the Same Epidemic.
If you've suspected that the government is not telling the truth about the "AIDS" epidemic, you right. Neeniyah Ostrom, KU Class of 74, has written one of the most important investigative books of the decade. Ostrom's reporting on Chronic Fatigue is collected in What Really Killed Gilda Rahner? It's one of the most important books you read this semester. Pick up a copy today at the Mt. Oread bookshop so that you can begin distinguishing the truth from the propaganda. KU played a leadership role in exposing the lies about Vietnam. Now do the same for "AIDS."
Yom Kippur should be a National Holiday!
Yom Kippur means "Day of Atonement." Its purpose is to examine our past and begin again for the future, to re-establish relationships broken. It is an important fast which Mosaic law provides.
In these days of self-justification, stereotyping, and ridicule of others, it would be good to work at re-establishing the family of humans rather than padding our nests. We suggest reading the book of Amos.
"Atonement" equals "at-one-meant." We all need as a national holiday."
"Atonement" equals "at-one-ment." We all need as a nation!

Fighting breaks out in Croatia on eve of new cease-fire pact
The Associated Press
ZAGREB, Yugoslavia — In their first major attack on the capital of secessionist Croatia, federal troops and war jets damaged the airport, broadcast transmitters and other buildings hours before a new ceasefire began yesterday.
The federal air force said two of its planes were shot down in eastern Croatia, where most fighting occurred after a bombing and independence nearly three months ago.
hearly near it. It was not immediately clear if the fighting was a show of force before the cease-fire took effect yesterday, or if it was the result of an offensive announced by federal army units Monday aimed at breaking Croatia's siege of federal garrisons.
Fighting in Croatia on Tuesday left at least 34 people dead and 33 wounded, reports said.
Federal air force jets swooped out of the night sky on Tuesday and were greeted by dense orange flashes of flak
The fighting threatened the credibility of the latest European Community-mediated truce signed earlier Tuesday by Franjo Tudjman, non-communist Croatian president, and Slobodan president, and because Communist republic is the country's largest and dominates the military.
An air raid warning had been in effect for the entire republic but the incursion was not clear.
in Zagreb. Shelling and gunfire were audible in the city center from all directions.
Tudjman appeared to be taking the biggest political risk by imposing a cease-fire, since he already had lost one-third of the republic to Serb rebels who refused to secede from Yugoslavia.
His republic, which borders Serbia,
declared independence on June 25.
"This country is only days away from a state of irretrievable civil war," said EC mediator Lord Carrington as he announced the truce which

took effect yesterday.
Zagreb civil defense officials said five people were wounded in the fighting Tuesday in the capital. Two schools, a textile factory, a private home and an apartment block were damaged.
Air attacks damaged Zagreb's radio and TV transmission tower north of the city and damaged the airport and police station in the southern suburb of Lucko, civil defense authorities said.
There had been sporadic attacks by the federal air force on Croatian positions around Zagreb in recent days, and the government presented the heaviest打击 by far.
Later in the night, air force jets flew over the city and intense shelling lasted for about 30 minutes, interspersed with heavy machine-gun and amper fire.
Zagreb was nearly completely darkened as a precaution against air raids. Public transportation was halted, and residents were told to go to shelter.
Within an hour of the signing of the cease-fire agreement, gunfire broke out between Croatian forces and fledgling Yugoslavic cavalry baracks on Zagreb's east side.
Jets also attacked the town of Gapcourt, south of Zagreb near the Adriatic coast. Croatian officials said, and other towns were also under attack.
The cease-fire agreement, mediated by Lord Carrington, the EC representative, was signed in a coastal city in the republic of Montenegro.
Although Tudjiman, Milovec and
federal defense Minister Velijko
Kadijiev signed, they said that deep

Kuwait oil well fires make firefighting job a challenge
The cease-fire agreement said: "On one thing we are united — that no viable solution for our people can result from violence and killing."
The Associated Press
Saud al-Nashmi, general manager of drilling and well control operations at the oil company, also said Tuesday that crews had started extinguishing oil wells in fields north of Kuwait City
GREATER BURGAN OILFIELD, Kuwait — Firefighters are capping an average of four oil wells a day, a rate 16 times faster than when they started in March, an official of the state Kuwait Oil Co. has said.
He said eight wells had been capped in Rawdatein and Sabyriyah in the north in the past two weeks, whereabouts 150 high-pressure wells were located. He set a ablaze by retreating Iraqi invasion forces.
The 663-well field was one of the largest-producing fields in the world before retreating Iraqi forces damaged or set fire to 432 of its wells. A total of 732 wells were damaged or set ablaze before the Iraqis were driven from Kuwait in late February.
The company took diplomats and journalists to the Burgan oilfields outside Ahmadi, about 20 miles south of Kuwait City.
Work is expected to begin at the end of this month to reclaim the oil from dozens of flammable lakes created by oil seepage from wells that were destroyed but not ignited. There are no figures for the value of that oil.
The emirate started drilling new oil wells Saturday to replace those destroyed by the Iraqi. Oil Minister Hamud al-Rqbaa said last month that 360 drillers were drilled by the end of year and 100 by July 1992.
Kuwait now produces 170,000 barrels a day of crude oil, compared with a production capacity in excess of 2 million barrels per day before the Aug. 2 invasion. Kuwait's overall oil production could reach 400,000 barrels a day by the end of the
year and 800,000 by July 1992.
Al-Nashmi said 212 of Burgan field's well fires had been brought under control. A total of 430 well have been capped in Kuwait.
When firefighters began the repair work in March, the work was tedious. The process had picked up because more firefighting companies have joined in, more equipment is available, a water system has been completed and firefighters have grown more experienced, al-Nashmi said.
"I came over here in March and in my wildest dreams I would never have thought that we'd have progressed this far by September," said Krause, who works for Red Adair, one of four U.S. firefighting outfits in Kuwait.
Brian Krause, 35, a Texan firefighter, said he was amazed by the pace of the repairs.
Around 9,000 people are involved in the project, including 1,000 employees of the U.S. company Bechtel and employees of a Canadian, a Chinese, an Iranian and a Kuwaiti firefighting company.
They will be joined by companies from Great Britain, France, Hungary, Rumania, the Soviet Union and Argentina by October.
A representative for Bechtel, which is providing support for the firefighters, said the company had brought in 125,000 tons of heavy equipment and supplies for the project.
"This is the fastest and one of the largest mobilizations of men and machinery for Bechtel," said the representative.
bechtel also has a 40-bed hospital in Ahmadi, a helicopter evacuation program, ambulances and paramedics on hand.
The Bechtel representative said that there had been no fatalities reported among the crews fighting the fires.
Bush announces environment pact
The Associated Press
GRAND CANYON VILLAGE, Ariz. — President Bush used the Grand Canyon yesterday as the backdrop for plugging his environmental policy, praising a new pact to clear the canyon's skies as "a good start."
"A wise environmental policy enriches everyone," Bush said in a speech at a site overlooking the canyon's south rim.
Bush was on hand for the signing of an agreement that would sharply reduce vista-obscuring emissions from a nearby power plant by 1999. The pact ended a 10-year legal dispute.
10 year legacy. The president said the agreement showed that more could be gained by seeking people's help than by suing them.
It was the first stop on a three-day Western trip during which Bush was to plug his domestic agenda and campaign for Republican candidates.
Later, Bush flew to Salt Lake City, where he planned to address a Republican fund-raising dinner and meet with officials of the Mormon Church.
He also visited a children's medical center, where he announced wants to 15 areas that would share $250 million.
Democratic critics accused him before the trip of grandstanding for political purposes in the canyon visit and of trying to take credit for the air-quality agreement.
Environmentalists, while praising the Grand Canyon accord, have accused Bush of not doing enough to protect the environment in general despite his declarations of being an environmental-
But Bush defended his policies as he toured an air-quality monitoring station overlooking the mile-deep, 10-mile-wide gorge. "We're making progress," he said. "You can't respond to the extremes."
Informant gives damaging testimony against Noriega in trial
The Associated Press
The testimony, by informant Max Mermelstein and former Norigea military adviser Luis del Cid, came Tuesday, the second day of Norigea's drug trafficking trial.
MIAMI—A former aide to Manuel Noriega said he delivered more than $100,000 in drug profits to the dictator, and an informant testified he bribed officials of the Bahamas to keep Colombian cocaine flowing to the United States.
Del Cid, who pleaded guilty in the case, said he took cash, up to $100,000 on one occasion, from alleged Noriega drug partner Floyd Carlton Caceres and delivered it to Noriega.
"It was drug money," he said.
It was Mr. Mermelstein, who claimed to have smuggled 55 tons of cocaine for Colombia's Medellin cartel before becoming an informant, said that during a visit to Colombia in 1984 he saw Noriega's name in a ledger listing payments made by the cartel.
perman and a representative for Pindling denied any connection to the drug operation, and lawyers for Noriega disputed Mermelstein's credibility.
He said current Panamanian legislator Balbina
Perinan negotiated with him on Norgiea's behalf to allow cocaine shipments through Panama. Mermel-stain said he gave money through a Bahamian official to prime minister Lynden Pindling to ensure safe passage of the drug to the United States.
"It's absolutely ridiculous. It has no substance whatsoever," said Randy Daniels, representative for Pindling in Nassau.

sand in Miami City.
Mermelstein identified Perian from a CNN videotape showing her standing next to Noriega at a rally.
He also claimed a high-ranking Colombian air force official was given $50,000 by the cartel to keep Mirage jets on the ground during drug flights. He did not give the official's name or the time of the allied
Noriega, 83, sat with his arms folded as he listened to the testimony. The deposed Panamanian dictator faces up to 140 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
Mermelstein was arrested on drug charges in 1985 and served two years in prison. In return for his cooperation, he was given immunity from prosecution on murder conspiracy, drug trafficking and arms smuggling charges.
bribes.
He also admitted to receiving $670,000 in direct payments and subsidies as a protected government witness.
"The government has supported you since the day you got out of jail," said defense attorney Frank Rubino.
Del Cid, who faces no more than 10 years under his own plea bargain, had his testimony cut short Tuesday as William Hoeveel, U.S. district judge, recessed the trial for today's Yom Kippur holiday.
Testimony is to resume today.
