Here is a news summary for today:
*Sala IV Orders Costa Rica's Removal from Iraq "Coalition"
The Sala IV constitutional court ruled Wednesday that President Abel Pacheco and the executive branch actedunconstitutionally when the administration gave supportto the United States and the coalition of allies against Iraq.
A foreign ministry statement a few hours later said thecountry would send a diplomatic letter early today askingthe United States to remove the name of Costa Rica fromthe list of coalition members.
The high court’s decision was unanimous. All seven magistratesagreed that a March 19, 2003, agreement by Pacheco and theforeign minister was an act contrary to the Costa RicanConstitution, the country’s declaration of perpetual neutrality, the United Nations and international law. The date is the day war started in Iraq.
The court ordered the executive branch to do what is necessary to delete the name of Costa Rica from the list of coalition allies on the Web pages of the White House.
The administration promised to send a diplomatic letter toWashington this morning in response to the decision, askingthat Costa Rica's name be removed.
*More Cabinet Ministers resign from Pacheco Government

Earthquakes are now occuring in parts of the world that do not normally have them, and they will increase all over the place as time goes on, so EVERYONE should read this and remember it.
These survival techniques are many times EXACTLY the opposite of what you have "always heard," so ammend your earthquake survival strategies accordingly.

What You Were Taught About Earthquakes Was Wrong
EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP'S ARTICLE ON THE"TRIANGLE OF LIFE", Edited by LarryLinn for MAA Safety Committee brief on 4/13/04.
My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief andDisaster Manager of theAmerican Rescue Team International (ARTI), theworld's most experiencedrescue team. The information in this article willsave lives in an earthquake.
I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings,worked with rescue teamsfrom 60 countries, founded rescue teams in severalcountries, and I am amember of many rescue teams from many countries. Iwas the United Nationsexpert in Disaster Mitigation (UNX051 -UNIENET) fortwo years. I have worked at every major disaster inthe world since 1985, except for simultaneousdisasters.
The first building I ever crawled inside of was aschool in Mexico Cityduring the 1985 earthquake. Every child was undertheir desk. Every childwas crushed to the thickness of their bones. Theycould have survived bylying down next to their desks in the aisles. Itwas obscene, unnecessaryand I wondered why the children were not in theaisles. I didn't at thetime know that the children were told to hide undersomething.
Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weightof the ceilings fallingupon the objects or furniture inside crushes theseobjects, leaving a spaceor void next to them. This space is what I callthe" triangle of life". Thelarger the object, the stronger, the less it willcompact. The less theobject compacts, the larger the void, the greaterthe probability that theperson who is using this void for safety will notbe injured. The next timeyou watch collapsed buildings, on television, countthe "triangles" yousee formed. They are everywhere.
It is the most common shape, you will see, in acollapsed building. Theyare everywhere. I trained the Fire Department ofTrujillo (population 750,000) in how to survive,take care of their families, and to rescue othersin earthquakes.
The chief of rescue in the Trujillo Fire Departmentis a professor at Trujillo University. Heaccompanied me everywhere. He gave personaltestimony:
"My name is Roberto Rosales. I am Chief ofRescue in Trujillo. When I was11 years old, I was trapped inside of a collapsedbuilding. My entrapmentoccurred during the earthquake of 1972 that killed70,000 people. I survived in the "triangle oflife" that existed next to my brother'smotorcycle. My friends who got under the bed andunder desks were crushedto death [he gives more details, names, addressesetc.]...I am the livingexample of the "triangle of life". Mydead friends are the example of "duckand cover".
TIPS DOUG COPP PROVIDES:
1) Everyone who simply "ducks andcovers" WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE is crushed todeath -- Every time, without exception. People whoget underobjects, like desks or cars, are always crushed.
2) Cats, dogs and babies all naturally oftencurl up in the fetal position. You should too in anearthquake. It is a natural safety/survivalinstinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Getnext to an object, next toa sofa, next to a large bulky object that willcompress slightly but leavea void next to it.
3) Wooden buildings are the safest type ofconstruction to be in during anearthquake. The reason is simple: the wood isflexible and moves with theforce of the earthquake. If the wooden buildingdoes collapse, large survival voids are created.Also, the wooden building hasless concentrated, crushing weight. Brickbuildings will break into individual bricks. Brickswill cause many injuries but less squashed bodiesthan concrete slabs.
4) If you are in bed during the night and anearthquake occurs, simplyroll off the bed. A safe void will exist around thebed. Hotels can achievea much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simplyby posting a sign onthe back of the door of every room, tellingoccupants to lie down on thefloor, next to the bottom of the bed during anearthquake.
5) If an earthquake happens while you arewatching television and you cannot easily escape bygetting out the door or window, then lie down andcurl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, orlarge chair.
6) Everybody who gets under a doorway when
buildings collapse is killed. How? If you standunder a doorway and thedoorjamb falls forward or backward you will becrushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam fallssideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. Ineither case, you will be killed!
7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have adifferent "moment of frequency" (theyswing separately from the main part of the building).Thestairs and remainder of the building continuouslybump into each other until structural failure ofthe stairs takes place.
The people who get on stairs before they fail arechopped up by the stairtreads. They are horribly mutilated. Even if thebuilding doesn't collapse,stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likelypart of the building tobe damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed bythe earthquake, theymay collapse later when overloaded by screaming,fleeing people. They should always be checked forsafety, even when the rest of the building isnot damaged.
8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings OrOutside Of Them If Possible -It is much better to be near the outside of thebuilding rather than theinterior. The farther inside you are from theoutside perimeter of the building the greater theprobability that your escape route will be blocked;
9) People inside of their vehicles arecrushed when the road above fallsin an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; whichis exactly what happenedwith the slabs between the decks of the NimitzFreeway. The victims of theSan Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of theirvehicles. They were allkilled. They could have easily survived by gettingout and sitting or lyingnext to their vehicles, says the author. Everyonekilled would have survived if they had been able toget out of their cars and sit or lie nextto them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet highnext to them, exceptfor the cars that had columns fall directly acrossthem
10) I discovered, while crawling insideof collapsed newspaper officesand other offices with a lot of paper, that paperdoes not compact. Largevoids are found surrounding stacks of paper.

One of our investigative reporters has just
filed the story on Harken
that was promised yesterday. He is still
digging, but this is what he
has so far, and it is an amazing story that ties
in directly with the
investor's loss, and shows a possible way out of
this situation.
This is also an education in how the world
really works, for those who
care to learn something for once instead of just
arguing and debating
all their lives and not learning anything.
==================================================
The connection between the situation with Harken
Energy, the Gold
mining
situation,
the Brothers, the Investments run by Banco
National loosing so much in
value in 2004,
the Bank Elca and other banks which have
recently been taken over,
the recent run on BAC, and the recent Strike.
What do these things have to do with each other ?
Let us take some history lessons, the CIA and
other governmental
operations
including the UK MI5, have had intelligence
economic teams here for
decades.
They have via their own discussions with their
elected representives in
the US and UK,
admitted to this as a way to keep control over a
country, specifically
Costa Rica as per
in the aftermath of the O North scandal of the
1980s.
The Harken Energy deal with Costa Rica was one
of the largest offshore
oil drilling
deals in this part of the world. It offers
Costa Rica the ability to
elimate its national debt
totally, and to elimate its need to collect
taxes of any sorts from its
people. In effect making
Costa Rica, independently wealth much like a
small middle eastern
state.
Well, Costa Rica after making a deal with Harken
decided under this
administration
to close the door to this, even after a contract
committing Costa Rica
to this was signed.
Not a wise move, when one looks at the history
of Harkin Oil and the
history of
Central America.
Next Costa Rica, backs off on the gold mining
contracts. Now the
environmental
issues are valid concerns but they are solveable
issues, one can mine
and drill for
oil without doing significant environmental
damage as long as Costa
Rica
monitors the environmental safe guards and does
not turn away from
looking.
Once, Costa Rica walked away from Harkin which
was a jewel in the
current
US president's chest and now has a former US
senator working as a
consultant
on this situation with Costa Rica, all sorts of
strange things start
happening.
There is a mysterious case in the North which
via an indirect
connection
involves the Brothers of Costa Rica. The
Brothers have been for the
last
19 years the life blood of making the Costa Rica
economic engine run.
The governments have danced around their extra
governmental agency
connections
and so forth. But let us face some reality,
when one of the brothers a
couple of
years ago became the subject of crew of hit men
who had orders to kill
him, who
came to the rescue ? The CIA and their good
friends the Mossad,
who picked up the brother and dropped him in
Israel for a while until
the hit team
was elimated.
So who better to know where the blocks are in
the Costa Rican economic
engine
than these intelligence agency ?
Gee does not George Bush Sr get CIA briefings
every single day ?
You can see the recent Michael Moore's film on
9/11 to confirm this and
other
facts.
So if they know where the blocks are why not
remove them.
The big one was the Brothers, via a series of
acts via an informal
channel
between Canada and Costa Rica a clear violation
of international
channels, laws
and treaties and lack there of. That should of
been a major tip off to
the Costa Rican
government what was going on here. However
their US governmental
handlers
played them like a flute knowing their greed ,
came up with this
concept
of the
Costa Rican government seizing some of the
Brother's money and once
they seized the money they knew that the
government could not get its
hands off of it.
Suddenly, there is a mounting debt crisis here
in Costa Rica due to the
mismanagement
of the funds of the country and the shutdown of
the Brothers. Who were
the cash providers
to the growth cycle of the country. The
leadership not being able to
admit it screwed up
went down this road by claiming that after 19
yrs of these people
operating here it was
a fraud. The US then got Costa Rica to go after
a whole series of
other
fish to elimate
that cash flow into the country leaving the
country at the begging
table
of the IMF and
others for loans. This begging table was deep
enought that Costa Rica
even went
along with providing its support for the war in
Iraq. Althought this
has or is in the process
of changing.
Now that these pieces of the economic pump have
been broken, and the
talks
with Harkin opened and then suddenly closed all
sorts of other
mysterious problems
happen. Banco National and their bond
investment fund, looses some
huge
percentage
of its fund's value sparking a run on the
investment. ONE major
problem
with this
story, in bond analysis you do not mark a bond
down to its street value
unless the
organization issuing the bond STOPS paying
interest on the bond. NONE
of the
bonds held in Banco National Portfolio stopped
paying interest. So
what
gives ?
This was chalked up as some inexperienced at the
BANK ?
I doubt it. This is how you crash an economic
system .
The Costa Rican Government still not getting the
message about Harkin
are they ?
OK, more stuff happens.
Banco Elca and other banks suddenly gets closed
over mismanagement by
its
management team. No one is claiming that the
banks are broke are they?
So what is the story here ?
Something is fundamentally wrong.
The Costa Rican Government is under pressure to
elimate the rentista,
and other
sources of income from abroad and to impose a
rought tax package and to
impose
massive budget cuts, under pressure from the IMF.
Still not getting the message about Harkin ?
In the mean time, more stuff is flying this
mysterious run on BAC which
could of
turned Costa Rica into a mess overnight.
BAC via being in more than Costa Rica was able
to overcome this storm
and basically
go we are alright. Also a good sign that BAC
does not have the CIA on
the inside of
the Bank.
Harkin calling anyone listening ??
In June of this year just days after Costa
Rica's leadership announces
that
it is withdrawning its support for the War in
Iraq. Costa Rica is
mysterious placed
on the OECD Black list just making it harder for
Costa Rica to attract
investment
capital. Looks more to be a punishment for the
withdrawal by a NAZI
organization.
Finally, after this mysterious event we have a
nationwide strike
inwhich
it was almost
a coup according to the leadership of Costa Rica.
Is anyone listening ? Harkin calling ?
So what is going on here ?
The close tie ins between Harkin, the varies
Great Powers, and the
events of the last few
years here in Costa Rica are crystal clear.
Someone in power wants to
put the
screws to the people of Costa Rica leaving them
no choice but to drill
for oil or
economically drop dead. Yet, via the gameship
of the CR government
they
are
actually helping themselves to screw their own
people's economic
needs,
and
their investors economics into the ground.
Something that the CIA was
betting
on based on their 20 yrs of gathering informaiton.
So what to do ?
Well, you can be stubborn about Harkin and end
up in an Argentina like
situation
in the future or you can go ok Harkin, we want
this BS over with.
We want Costa Rica declared to be a 100% tax
free state, eg no taxes
what
so ever from its people for jack, and we want
the Brothers and their
special deals back in biz. We also want a
massive bond placed to
protect
the environment so that we do not have a Valdez
disaster and got to
deal
with the International courts for the money.
This way this quiet
economic
warfare being waged comes to an end and Costa
Rica, its people, and
its investors come out the winner. Instead of
wondering what in the
flying
hell else are the guys in the CIA going to do
next here to get this
message out ?
Enjoy the Pure Vida while you can and have a
clean set of undergarments
available for the next event

Hello,
As you all know, I don't generally send commercial messages to the lists, but what we have just uploaded to our Costa Rica Page should be of broad interest, as gauged by some unsolicited inquries we received last month.
We have entered into an arrangement with a long established, high quality Costa Rican boat manufacturer to offer their fishing boats and yachts to our internet friends and family.
These are fantastic boats and even better prices. The factory custom makes these right here in Costa Rica, and they are ready within 30 days of your order.
Since most gringos don't even know that boats are made in Costa Rica, let alone of this excellence in quality, we have decided to announce this to all of our Offshore and Costa Rica related lists.
We have a small sampling of what is available posted to our website on a brand new BOAT PAGE. Even if you don't want to buy a boat, I think you will find the quality of these craft worth looking at.
Here is the url to the pictures, and if you are interested in buying a boat, you should place your order now so that you will have it well before the High Season arrives.
http://www.destiny-worldwide.net/costa-rica/boats.htm
We already have 2 parties interested in buying 3 boats to use as fishing boats for tours they plan to offer this coming year, so it is possible we will receive even more orders now that we are publicizing it. In other words, you should place your orders now in case there is a stampede of orders to make sure that you are not disappointed.
Thanks, and enjoy!
John

If your car or truck uses diesel, you can run it cheaper AND more efficiently AND more environmentally friendly to boot.
Costa Rica should adopt this right away, considering they have to import every drop of oil. It wouldn't hurt the pocket books or environment elsehwere, either. This story is just AMAZING.

Been looking for this article for three days. Knew I'd read it somewhere. Bit long, but a great read. From The British Guardian newspaper in January 2003

Fry and drive
When staff at a Welsh supermarket first noticed dramatic increases in the sale of cooking oil, they thought the locals were doing a lot of frying. They weren't. They were filling up their cars with it - not surprising, as it's only 42p a litre. Trouble is, if you don't pay duty, it's illegal. Jim White reports
Monday January 20, 2003The Guardian
According to Mike Hebson, the manager of Asda's store in Swansea, south Wales, there was no reason to be suspicious that sales of the company's cheapest bottles of cooking oil were running 20% higher than the previous year, way above any other store in Britain. "We just thought it was one of those things," says Hebson. Why should he and his staff have been remotely questioning, he suggests, if men in overalls and lived-in denims had started buying Smart Price vegetable oil in batches of six, eight and 12 litres at a time. When one customer came in and filled a trolley to the brim with plastic containers of the thin, urine-coloured liquid, the checkout operator barely gave him a second glance. "Naturally, we assumed they were buying on price," says Hebson, an Asda man to the soles of his own-brand brogues. There was another reason that his staff were unlikely to see anything untoward in bulk-buying cheap vegetable oil. "We just thought they were doing a lot of frying," he says. "You have to remember, healthy eating has not hit Swansea in a big way."
It wasn't until the Department of Transport began a series of trial tests in the city last March that staff realised something odd had been going on. In an attempt to take diesel vehicles belching out illegal emissions off the road, department inspectors introduced experimental spot checks on roads in Bristol, Westminster, Glasgow, Middlesbrough, Canterbury and Swansea. It was in the latter that they found something surprising: a car with a fuel tank half full of cooking oil.
"The funny thing was," says Hebson, "the driver told them he had been getting it from Asda Swansea for four or five months, because it was the cheapest around. When we read the report in the local paper we began to put two and two together."
The enterprising motorist was, so the reports suggested, running his diesel-engine motor on a mix of Asda cooking oil and standard fuel. At 42p a litre, the supermarket chain's oil is considerably cheaper than the 73p a litre that even a discounted retailer charges for diesel. The astonishing thing was it worked. Without any need to modify the engine, the motorist could run his car on the mix with no discernible difference in its performance. What's more, instead of diesel fumes, the engine gave off a rather pleasing odour - like frying time at the local chippy.
And if Asda's sales figures were anything to go by, unless he was running a fleet of buses across south Wales, the driver who had been pulled over by the emissions inspectors wasn't the only one. Wind your windows down in a Swansea traffic jam last spring, the rumour went, and the chances were you would think someone was having a barbecue. The local joke was that the whiff was particularly prevalent around the DVLC, the government's national car-licensing department, which is headquartered in the city. It was a nice irony, because, as the cooking-oil driver discovered when he was fined £500 and had his car impounded, the government is not amused by cheap alternative fuel. Diesel is relatively pricey because a large chunk of the cost is made up by duty. Cooking oil carries no such tax. But if it is put to use in a petrol tank, duty is due.
When, in September, just up the coast from Swansea, in Burry Port, near Llanelli, six more drivers were discovered apparently running their cars on cooking oil, the news quickly spread. "It was a media feeding frenzy," says Dai Davies of Dyfed and Powys police, whose officers were involved in the spot checks. "Everyone came down here, from the local BBC news to the New York Times." Within a couple of days, the story was in circulation of a crack team of law-enforcement officers swooping on south Wales motorists, of widespread tax fraud, of a hunt for the Mr Big of the cooking-oil scam. One report in a Canadian paper talked of round-the-clock stakeouts in the aisles of Asda that netted a couple buying 100 litres of oil at a time. A witty subeditor coined a nickname for the operation that immediately stuck: the Frying Squad.
"There wasn't a team as such," says Davies. "It was a multi-agency approach. The police stopped the vehicles on this occasion but had no power of arrest. We were doing so on behalf of the excise. They were the ones who could levy the fines. It was a good story, but no, the Frying Squad was all a bit of a media myth really."
But environmentalist John Nicholson was not amused. The jaunty news items about nasally enhanced officers who could sniff out a tax-evading exhaust pipe at 40 paces had put his campaign to alert the country to the benefits of biofuels into rapid reverse. He was furious.
The appreciation in Wales that you could cheerfully run your diesel vehicle on cooking oil really began to take hold during the fuel-price disputes in the autumn of 2000. Fuming farmers and hauliers with the hump parked their trucks and tractors across the entrance to the oil refinery at Milford Haven, which services much of Wales. They were protesting against levels of fuel duty that they considered unsustainable, and their blockade was so successful that, after a couple of days of panic buying, virtually every garage in the principality had run out of stocks. Nicholson, who lives in a remote part of rural mid-Wales, was typical of those affected.
"We don't have a television, so I'd been unaware that the blockade was happening," he recalls. "I went out to get some diesel and every garage had run out. My wife's a nurse and needed the car to get to work. I panicked rather."
Returning home, he looked round for alternative fuels, and tried a bit of central heating oil, which worked, he says, reasonably well. Then, remembering his schoolboy mechanics, he popped some cooking oil into his Volvo. "It mixed with the little bit of diesel I had left in the tank," says Nicholson. "Not only did it work, the vehicle actually behaved better. I never heard my car sound so good, there was a fantastic noise, not a clickety-click, more of a grunt. And then, of course, there was the smell." He used vegetable oil to tide him over until the blockade ended. But so happy was he with the performance it gave, that he decided to use it full time, and set up a website to exchange information on biopower. He discovered that they have been doing this sort of thing in Germany for years - not simply because it is cheaper, but because of the environmentally beneficial effects of using sustainable fuels made from rape and sunflower seeds rather than fossil fuels. Over there it is a sizeable industry, supported by tax breaks; it is no coincidence that Mercedes and Volkswagen engines are the most cooking-oil tolerant on the market. Indeed Mercedes motors are so accommodating that they will, apparently, run on lard.
Within a few months, more than 300 drivers had joined Nicholson's web network. But not everyone was thrilled at the rush to bio. "For some reason, the AA put out the story that using cooking oil will either clog up or blow up your engine," he says. "Well, which is it? It can't be both. The fact of the matter is, it works brilliantly."
Not far from Llanelli, in Laugharne, home of Dylan Thomas, an engineering student called Chris Dovey joined Nicholson's biopower network last June. Since then he has been running his Ford van entirely on cooking oil. Except he doesn't buy it from Asda - he gets it used, from the canteen in Haverfordwest County Hall. He filters it, adds a drop of white spirit, and hey presto - after a little modification to the blades in his fuel pump - his van runs like a dream. "Well," he says, "the first ever diesel engine ran off peanut oil, so I'm just following tradition."
Like Nicholson, however, Dovey is doing something those Asda-buying drivers stopped in Llanelli were not. He is paying duty. "The canteen was giving me the stuff, only too glad to get rid of it, and I thought: 'I'm on to something here.' But my mum said to me, 'You get nothing for free in this world, you'd better find out the implications.' So I contacted the local customs people and they were most helpful."
An excise inspector came to visit Dovey, checked he wasn't refining enough to keep most of Laugharne in biofuel, and gave him the relevant paperwork. "I get the oil for nothing and pay 26p a litre in duty on it, which still makes it a lot cheaper than diesel at the pumps," he says, flourishing a form on to which he is obliged to list every litre of fuel he filters through the modified oil drum in his garage. "But if I went into it as a business I think the red tape would strangle me."
This, Nicholson says, is a typical experience of anyone trying to run a vehicle on cooking oil. "The government seems to be making it deliberately difficult," he says. "The most important thing to remember is, it is not illegal to run your car on cooking oil." As long as duty is paid, that is. And Nicholson reckons that, since duty is paid retrospectively, even those who were stopped in the south Wales checks were not breaking the law. "I am driving on fuel on which I have not yet paid the tax. I will do, but I don't need to until it's used. So was anyone who was stopped given the chance to pay his tax? If not, why not? To stop anybody for using this fuel is harassment."
He believes that the stories (one paper suggested more than 400 people had been pulled over for using cooking oil) have done the excise's job for it. There is no need for a Frying Squad; the rumour of its existence is enough. Indeed, Hebson's stocktaking at Asda's Swansea branch suggests that many previous cooking-oil users have been put off by the assumption that they could have their vehicle impounded at any moment: saving a few pence a litre hardly seems worth the risk of a £500 fine. Such is the fear of the mythical Frying Squad that Nicholson now prints car stickers for those in his network who want to announce their legitimacy.
"Once that first bloke had been done, I think the publicity put a lot of people off," says Hebson. "Almost from the moment the story appeared in the paper, our sales went back down to the national average."
But there is something appealingly anti-establishment about all this; something subversive about how, largely on individual initiative, undertaken without flourish or fanfare, it is possible to sidestep the multinationals and the government and power your car in a natural, clean and efficient way. Today. All you need is a bit of cooking oil, new or second-hand, and the relevant tax return form, available to download from Nicholson's biopower website.
"I suppose if I factored in the time I spend filtering the stuff, it wouldn't work out so cheap," says Dovey. "But there's a little bit of me that says it's worth it just to be getting one over on the big oil companies, really."
Meanwhile, Asda has announced that as of next year, its fleet of delivery vehicles will be converted to run on fuel made from the waste on cooking oil collected from stores across the country (they fry a million doughnuts a day nationwide, apparently). Though a spokesman was quick to point out that they didn't get the idea from their customers in south Wales. Oh, and they will be paying the duty.

It has become pretty clear to this reporter, and has been mentioned
widely in the Costa Rican press in the last 24 hours by high ranking
officials, that these nasty rumors to spark this banking crisis may have
eminated from some of the Yahoo newsgroups, and other internet chat
forums.
What is not commonly known, is that the US Government commonly uses
shills placed on all kinds of internet newsgroups, to forward their
party line, and to shut up the opposition.
They seem to have invested a tremendous amount of resources in this
endeavor.
Just this morning, we received an anonymous email discussing this very
subject, and I include it below for your interest:
------------------------------------------------
Shills from varies UK, US and Canadan Groups
once they were done with the Brothers, are
now moving onto bigger fish like the banks
of Central America, to repeat what happened in
Argentina.
If they still had the Brothers around, it would be
far more difficult to deal with bring down a country.
This latest panic run on the bank which turned out to
be a false alarm looks to of been orginiated in part
due to the IMF recent visit and the Internet Chatter
coming from the economic terrorists.
These people are hell bent on keeping the people of the
world under their control.
==============================================================
As a closing note, I would like to identify one potential shill on this
newsgroup. You can review the archives, see his tactics, and thus be
better able to spot these shills wherever they might be, and shut down
their idiotic rhetoric.
I will point out that some of the simpler shills will use sarcastic
remarks, belittling statements, and other attacks against posters they
don't like to embarrass them and make them lose credibility in the
groups, so that no one pays any attention to them anymore, and the shill
becomes the one to listen to.
They will belittle talk of the New World Order, they will attack
vehemently anyone who dares to mention the truth about the IMF or World
Bank, or other globalist institutions. The sarcastic put down is their
main tool.
But, when this doesn't work, they will resort to blatant character
assasination, and frontal assaults, hoping to cow their target into
submission.
A perfect example of this on this very news group were the outrageous
attacks made by a Jim Peck against Destiny Worldwide.
Destiny Worldwide made a few challenges to statements Peck made
condeming and trashing the Costa Rican government, its lawyers, etc.
If one will take careful notice, this Peck joined the IRCCR group on
July 18 of this year, just about the same time that the negative chatter
about the solvency of the entire Costa Rican banking system was
beginning to be aired on other newsgroups.
There is no doubt in my mind that Peck intended to sow such division on
the IRCCR group as well, as he thought that the people on this list have
money invested in this country, so he could get more "bang for his buck"
by scaring these people with money away from investing further here, and
sending what money they do have out of the country, which is the exact
tone of posts on other groups, most notably Costa Rica Living.
Peck has an interesting background to say the least. He is a former
commission salesman for a scam operation called The Vault, and worked
closely with its owner, Roy Taylor, who committed suicide rather than be
taken into custody by Costa Rican authorities. Or, was it a suicide, or
an assasination? We will never know.
Never the less, informed sources in the Costa Rican legal community have
informed us that Taylor is suspected of having major mafia connections.
The interesting question is "What was a licensed PI (we have not been
able to confirm his license status by the way, and it may just be a
figment of his overblown imagination)doing selling scam investments and
working for a suspected organized crime figure?"
As the Vault began to get into trouble, at that very moment, in fact,
our fearless PI, whom some have called Baretta in this group, Peck
decided to open an office to "help" Brothers investors track down
Enrique Villalobos. He said that he expected "quick success," when he
opened his doors on June 12 of 2003, but he had closed his doors and
refused to answer emails by as early as Sept. 11, 2003, according to
AMCOSTARICA.
So what was Peck really doing in his offer to "help" the Brother's
investors? Was he in fact taking names for a government shit list? Or,
did he just set up shop to take in some fun money, and then quickly
close up shop and take these advance fees with him, knowing that most
Brother's investors valued their privacy, and wouldn't be willing to sue
to get the money back?
In other words, this could have either been a spy operation on behalf of
some US government agency, and / or it could have been an attempt to
bilk already strapped investors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars
more, and then close up shop and leave with the loot.
Unfortunatey, we will probably never know for sure, but his posting
pattern to this group seems to indicate that at the very least he was a
government shill sent to this group to foment more panic among already
shell shocked investors, knowing that many of them had accounts with
Banco BAC, and thus adding fuel to yesterday's fire, in their misguided
attempt to close down the bank.
As to Peck's claims against Destiny Worldwide, it would appear that
those attacks were launched to discredit that orgnization and blacken
its reputation in the public eye, so that their contradictions of Pecks
posts and motivations would be ignored by the group. He used extreme
hardball tactics, including attempting to get their website taken down,
yahoo ID cancelled, etc., as well as recently issuing a totally
laughable "e-commerce alert" against that organization, which totally
ignores the facts about that organization.
But, his tactics backfired on him, and Peck only succeeded in making a
complete ass out of himself in public, losing any shred of credibility
this former scam salesman might have had to those ignorant of his
background.
In fact, every indication points to the idea that Peck is indeed a
government agent, and may have been instructed to assist in the
operation for the destruction of the Costa Rican economy.
It is hoped that this expose and analysis of of the government shill
process will help people to identify these creeps wherever they might
be. And Peck's postings are a prime example of what one should look
for.
If Peck wants to threaten us with a lawsuit too, he can be our guest.
It will get him absolutely nowhere, and our suggestion to him is that he
leave his present position and find honest employment with someone who
is not trying to screw people's lives over on a daily basis.
This has been a presentation of ................ LUNAR NEWS
30----------

I am posting two articles below from today's edition of AM Costa Rica about the banking crisis that has recently hit Costa Rica, starting with rumors on certain Yahoo groups, notably Costa Rica Living, but I am sure there are others.
These rumors have been circulating for a month now, but hit a crescendo Monday and Tuesday, sparking many depositors to panic and to attempt to withdraw money from the bank anyway they can.
However, they apparantly have nothing to fear, as it is reported that at least in the Moravia and Pavas branches, the bank was open until 11 PM last night, and was paying people off.
The BAC banking group has banks throughout Central America, and also a bank in Florida. They also own and operate the Credomatic credit card issuing and merchant processing service, which probably has about 60-70% of the merchants and consumers in these countries using their service. They are the main affiliate for MasterCard in Costa Rica, and, I understand, the ONLY processor for MasterCard in some of the other countries they are in.
Several years ago, Visa allegedly attempted to blackmail Credomatic to force them to quite issuing and processing MasterCard charges. They reportedly threatened to revoke their Visa lincense if they didn't drop MasterCard and American Express.
Rather than give into Visa's demands, Credomatic reportedly told Visa that they would prefer to keep MasterCard and AMEX, and told them to go ahead and cancel their Visa license if they wanted to. Apparantly, after a year or so, Visa backed off on this, its apparent attempt to gain a monopoly in the credit card business in Central America sent down in flames. Credomatic made the right choice, and became after this the largest credit card processor in the region.
It should also be noted that the BAC group is considered to be an offshore banking group, and we have mentioned before how the British, US and Canadian governments have a hidden agenda called Project Victory to crush all offshore banks and offshore countries.
A move such as spreading false rumors against a major banking group they didn't like would thus be in character with what the US, IMF, World Bank, and UK use as terror tactics against countries who do not behave themselves.
Costa Rica should take note of the IMF track record, and should ask Nauru and The Bahamas whether cooperation is a workable strategy for their countries, or whether following their recommendations and demands is instead turning these and many other countries in the world into economic basket cases.
Then, for the biggest example recently of what happens to countries that do what they are told by the bullies, all they have to do is look to Argentina, which still has not recovered from their "IMF riots."
Recently, the Costa Rican government appears to have done several things to upset the IMF and the US. They are on the verge of taking their name off of Bush's ludicrous mis named "coalition" in the war of aggression in Iraq, which Bush lied with every breath he took to bring about, meaning that he and the US government now have zero credibility in everything they say. They have taken Hitler's BIG LIE principle to lengths that would have even made Hitler blush!
And last week, the National Assembly denied landing rights to US aircraft pursuing their phoney "war on drugs," which is nothing more than a war on the people of this world, as is the contrived "war on terror," holding up a CIA operative, Osama bin Laden, as public enemy #1 while doing cozey deals with his family in Saudi Arabia.
So, it would appear that this viscious rumor most likely eminated from none other than the US Embassy, as did a previous rumor about 2 years ago that failed to spark a crisis.
Costa Rica is in this mess because they have followed US policies to a certain extent, and Project Victory in particular, causing them to shut down The Brothers investment firm, which had been pumping over $400 million per year into the Costa Rican economy, which is almost the exact amount that Costa Rica has had to borrow from the banking cartel ever since.
However, all indications are that this plot will not succeed, BAC San Jose will survive, and so will Costa Rica.
If we might make a suggestion to Costa Rica, we would simply say that this shows what happens when you cooperate with these gangsters. Doing what they tell you only destroys your country. So, what you need to do is the EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY ARE TELLING YOU TO DO! That is the road out of this mess.
Your first order of business should be to immediately cease your witch hunt against the Brothers, drop all charges, and welcome them back into business with open arms, to conduct business as usual, and start bringing the capital back into this country every year for free that you are now borrowing from the IMF, World Bank, and other criminal organizations.
Don't pass any of the ridiculous "reforms" that the IMF has insisted on, and instead maybe a TAX CUT combined with the return of the Brothers would put Costa Rica back on the solid footing it has been for so many years. Strengthening your offshore status, combined with changes to ecnourage Las Vegas style gambling would also do a lot of good for the country.
It needs to be remembered that Nevada at one time was the poorest state in the US, with almost no resources, and nothing but dry, barren desert wilderness. By simply changing their laws to do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the other states were doing, made all of the difference in the world, and now Nevada is one of the most prosperous states in the US, and STILL HAS NO INCOME TAX, and the lowest overall taxes in the nation!
And they did this by going AGAINST the practices of the Federal government and all other states at the time. They legalized gambling and prostitution, they don't have any income taxes [but they do tax the casinos and hotels a lot, and these are what pays most of the bills], and in many counties in Nevada to this day, you STILL DON'T EVEN NEED A BUSINESS LICENSE UNLESS YOU ARE IN THE GAMBLING OR PROSTITUTION BUSINESS! Laissez Faire capitalism works for Nevada, and it will work for ANY COUNTRY that wants to put the Free Market to a test!
Turning San Jose into Las Vegas South would work wounders, guarantee full employment for all, and attract more tourists than Costa Rica would know what to do with. Maybe they should import some advisors from the state of Nevada to show them how to do it.
At the same time, Costa Rica could use its new found advantages to attract the entertainment industry to the country, as that industry is not happy at all with the restrictive laws and high taxes of Southern California, and some producers, actors, musicians, etc., are already making moves here, and just need a little encouragement to turn Costa Rica into the motion picture capital of the world! Costa Rica is very close to this dream already, and the changes suggested above would pretty much GUARANTEE that this happened.
This would be so much better than adopting the policies of the failed European welfare states that the IMF, USA, and EU are trying to make them do. That road will only lead to disaster, permanent debt, and poverty.
Doing the OPPOSITE of what these turkeys want is the ONLY HOPE for the people of Costa Rica and their economic prosperity. Just tell these snakes to BUZZ OFF!
Here is the news article:
Rumors cause a run on major San José bank
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
BAC San José, one of the country’s strongest private banks, is in the midst of a run that officials think was sparked by rumors fabricated in bad faith.
The bank, based downtown, has about 20 branches around the country and is popularly considered a customer service-oriented organization for businessmen.
The rumor started Monday afternoon and by Tuesday crowds of depositors were at the various branches at least in the Central Valley seeking return of their money. When the banks closed at 7 p.m., some depositors tried to withdraw money via automatic teller machines. Others camped in front of the bank so they would be near the head of the line when offices open at 8 a.m. today.
A.M. Costa Rica became aware of the rumor about midday Tuesday. A number of expats prefer the institution, formerly called Banco de San José, over the national banks.
By 7 p.m. the manager of the bank, Gerardo Corrales Breñes, took to the television to assure depositors that there was no reason for the
bank run and that there was no open investigation of the bank. Curiously, the bank did not post anything to its overworked Web page to assure depositors.
Costa Ricans seem to be engaged in the bank run because they fear another collapse. Bantec and more recently Banco Elka were shut down by the Superintendencia General de Entidades Financieras, the government oversight agency.
In addition, there is a general fear of the economy and distrust in the government’s ability to protect citizens from economic woes.
Luis Diego Vargas, president of the Consejo Nacional de Supervisión del Sistema Financiero, called operations at BAC San José absolutely normal in a television interview. It was he who cited the bad faith aspects of the rumor.
Oscar Rodriguez of the Superintendencia, said in the same segment that BAC San José is a very strong institution. He and Vargas agreed that deliberately circulating rumors to harm a business was a crime in Costa Rica.
Alfonso Rodriquez was not overly concerned.
A.M. Costa Rica/José Pablo Ramírez Vindas
A fast food worker and friends seeks her pay
Teller machines were out of service for evening withdrawals
By Saray Ramírez Vindas
of the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Automatic tellers of BAC San José were out of service last night. Some depositors went through the downtown unsuccessfully seeking a machine that would return them some of their money.
Some were unhappy, including one employee of Kentucky Fried Chicken on Paseo Colón who said her employer had just deposited salaries into
the bank. She was unable to make a withdrawal.
Even as late as 10:30 p.m. depositors were trying to make withdrawals.
Bank officials had posted a message from Gerardo Corrales Breñes, the general manager. But it said little more than he had said on a television show. Officials also posted in one place a page of the La Nación Web site that said the bank panic was without foundation.

This is an emergency open letter to the AALPI, and a posting to all Destiny Worldwide Net Newsgroups and blogs, the IRCCR yahoo group, and the AALPI. This Church and its related organization has come under attack by Satan, in a most vicious and hateful way. This is the FIRST such alert we have EVER published, and we ask for members and friends to pray earnestly in this matter, that God will stay the hand of Satan, and rebuke him, throwing him back into the pit where he belongs. We further appeal to members and friends, that they contact whatever legal help they can in their own community, and give a generous donation to keep this organization going in this time of distressing need. We will prevail. God is not mocked! We are sending this to ALL of our outlets, in case Satan temporarily succeeds in his vile campaign to silence our communications.
http://www.destiny-worldwide.net/rcg/

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been a church pastor for over 12 years now, and a man of God all my life. As you can understand, in my profession, I seek to help people, not to hurt them.
However, this organization has recently come under attack by a PI from the State of Arizona, a James B. Peck. We are appealing to your Association to intervene in this situation before it becomes a public embarrassment to the entire Private Investigations profession in the State of Arizona.
But, before we get into what he has done, and how he has attacked us, perhaps you would like to know about James B. Peck’s interesting activities in Costa Rica. I believe this will cast this matter into a light that Mr. Peck would rather not discuss. However, since he has attacked us, we have no choice but to set the record straight as to who is behind the vicious, untrue, and Satanic accusations he has made against us.
Here is some background you may not be aware of concerning this PI.
This information comes from published sources at http://www.amcostarica.com
Once there, you just need to enter the name James Peck, and three results will pop up from your search. If you prefer not to do the search, or the articles have been taken down for some reason, we have archived them and can email them to you as file attachments should that be more convenient for you.
I think you will find these stories to be of interest:
1. Some time ago, James Peck worked for a company in Costa Rica called The Vault. He was a salesman for their high interest investment scheme, which later turned out to be a gigantic scam. Roy Taylor, the owner of the Vault, shot himself rather than face the police when they raided his office. One of our members was told a few years back by his attorney that Roy Taylor had “mafia connections,” and warned him to stay away from him or his business. So, the question is, what was a licensed PI doing working for an alleged gangster and / or con artist, earning money from selling the scams for a commission?
2. It is curious that the announcement of Peck’s Operation Recovery Task Force appears in the same issue of this online newspaper that covers the growing scandal at the Vault. Did he switch right from being a salesman for the Vault to his new venture “helping” Brothers Investors?
3. It is further stated in the press that Mr. Peck also had an investment with another high yield loan outfit called The Brothers. We wonder whether Mr. Peck has reported his earnings in either venture to the IRS? We are reporting this matter to the IRS’s office of criminal investigations, as well as the following piece of information:
4. Concerning the office Mr. Peck opened up in Costa Rica some time ago, to “help” investors recover their funds. The Sept. 11, 2003, edition of AMCOSTARICA.com, had this to say about it:
Others, number unknown, have contracted with Jim Peck, a former investigator from Arizona and commission salesman for The Vault. Peck, a Villalobos creditor himself, said June 12 that he had set up an "Operation Recovery Task Force" to find Luis Enrique Villalobos and force him to pay back money owed to those who join the task force. He predicted quick success, but nothing has been heard from him since and he has not responded to e-mail messages.

I find this very curious. What happened to the money he collected from those who signed up with his “Recovery Task Force?”
The June 13 AMCOSTARICA of the same year says that he was charging an up front fee of 5% of the face value of investor’s investments in The Brothers to help them “recover” their losses, but, by Sept. 11 of the same year, according to the account above, he had closed up shop and left Costa Rica. Did he pay these advance fees back? Can he prove it? Did he pay taxes on it if he didn’t give it back?
This is of interest, because the AVERAGE investment with The Brothers is reported to have been $100,000.00 – with some having invested SUBSTANTIALLY MORE! So there is simply no way to tell how many tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars Peck took in with this operation before he closed up shop and left town.
So, far from having the moral high ground here, James B. Peck, PI, has a lot of suspicious things in HIS background, and I am sure the IRS, the Arizona Department of Safety, and other agencies would be interested in hearing of Peck’s offshore adventures with alleged gangsters, etc.! I am sure your association would not want this mess to explode into the headlines of your local newspapers soon, but that is EXACTLY what will happen unless he immediately ceases from his persecution of this Church!
Dealing with issues involving carnal and unsightly behavior, gangsters, theft, revenge, back stabbing, slander, libel, witch hunts, etc., are not things that I care to deal with at any time. However, when I find my church and its work under attack, I have no choice but to speak out, especially when such attacks are mean spirited, malicious, slanderous, and libelous. The Bible teaches us that these are the works of Satan, not of God.
I founded the Restoration Church of God, and its outreach ministry, Destiny Worldwide Associates, back in 1992, to show a ray of light in an evil, Satanic, and hate filled world.
Jesus Christ taught us that we should live in peace with every man, holding malice towards none, and charity towards all. We are also instructed to turn the other cheek when attacked, but we believe that this does not mean we are to be a doormat for Satan to wipe his feet on our backs.
Therefore, it pained me very greatly to learn upon entering my office this morning that a vitriolic, mean spirited, Satan inspired attack had been unjustly launched against our organization and website by a man by the name of James B. Peck, who claims to be a licensed PI in your state of Arizona, giving his license number as “Licensed with Arizona Dept. of Public Safety, 00378135,” at the end of one of his viscous and spiteful hate emails. We have no way of knowing if this information is true or false, but we are requesting that you follow through on this matter, verify the license data, and see what you can do in this matter with the State of Arizona, as I am sure that your profession would rather clean its own house than have dirty laundry aired in public.
Just relating this matter brings me a great deal of pain and suffering, and has caused me immense emotional distress. I am very distraught that Satan has inspired this misguided man to launch such an attack upon our organization on the flimsiest of pretexts.
I have been praying for him on an hourly basis since learning of this fiasco, and had hoped that the Lord would lay it on his heart to cease and desist in his foaming rage and evil diatribes. But, sadly, this has been to no avail.
I do not wish to make this letter over long, as I am sure that you are quite busy and would quickly become bored with the horrid, lurid, twisted details, so I will summarize this for you briefly. If you have any further questions, or need further information from me in the investigation that I am sure you will wish to conduct, then I would be happy to answer whatever questions you might have pertaining to this matter at the email address this email is being sent from, which is our Church email address rather than one of the general office addresses.
After all, I know that most of the members of your organization are hard working, honest, professional men and women who would never dream of launching vicious and unfounded attacks on innocent Christian people, and I am sure that you would not want this matter to go into the news media or the general internet community, to tarnish the image of your hard working, decent, honest, members. I think that the fact that James Peck has chosen not to join your organization is a red flag already that something is not right with this man, and I ask that you do something about this matter immediately to stop this nonsense, or we will be forced to issue news releases, press kits, etc. to worldwide media which could do damage to the image of your entire profession.
We will, if necessary, insure that the public integrity and reputation of this organization is not tarnished by an individual seeking Satanic revenge for who knows what purpose. Please do not confuse our Christian character with being a doormat, nor allowing such outrages to continue.
This whole stupid thing started on a yahoo newsgroup, called IRCCR. It is my understanding that one of our email addresses is subscribed to this group, and since much of his character assassination and slander has taken place there, I have no choice but to CC that group.
Anyway, someone using that address at the time allegedly made a remark that James Peck was a “fraud and an arrogant SOB,” from what I have been able to gather. We still do not know, and may never know, if that post originated in our office or not, but, one of our volunteer staff on duty over the weekend, on God’s Sabbath, no less, encountered a sudden vitriolic attack from Mr. Peck against Destiny Worldwide, asking for “an immediate retraction of this slanderous, libelous spam.”
Apparently, this man has no respect for Jewish, Jewish Christian or regular Christian days of rest, as he continued his diatribes and threats all weekend. One wonders if he harbors anti Semitic or anti Christian views. It would not surprise me to learn that he does, but that is a matter between him and God.
To set the record straight, whether or not the statement in question was indeed slanderous or libelous would be for a court of law to decide, and, considering the sickening nature of this newsgroup, and the gratuitous insults found there, such a statement is indeed in character with the tone of that group.
I am shocked, therefore, to discover that one of our email accounts is even subscribed to a group so filled with hate, slander, and libel on a daily basis. And it most certainly was not spam, as Mr. Peck claims, because he subscribed to said group, and should have understood the low tone and nature of the posters there, and, if he did not accept that situation of opening himself up to public criticism, he should have unsubscribed himself from that group immediately, rather than continue to subject himself to unwanted criticism. So his ridiculous claim that he was “slandered by spam” reveals itself for what it is: totally false, misleading, malicious, and vituperative in the extreme.
You can be sure that as soon as this matter is resolved, I have given instructions to unsubscribe any and all of our organizational email addresses from this revolting group, but, unfortunately, we need to monitor and reply in this forum as needed.
It has been reported to me by the staff member on duty over the weekend that they issued statements in keeping with our general guidelines, and have disavowed all knowledge of said incident, and promised to get to the bottom of this. But this was not enough for Mr. Peck, who insisted that we admit that said email came from this organization, or someone within it, and that we admit that, and publicly apologize.
As you can well understand, this organization most certainly will not admit to having issued any posting unless we can prove that it did indeed originate in one of our offices, pending a complete investigation into the matter, starting today, Monday. Further, the staff member theorized that perhaps a hacker had hacked into the web based account in question, and posted this message to that group. This was simply a guess made by this staffer, and the matter remains under investigation here.
The staffer then issued a formal apology to Mr. Peck, but that was not good enough for him. Instead of waiting on the beginning of the work week for us to study this matter and get back to him as promised, he took it upon himself to start a vituperative war of aggression against us, sending hateful, slanderous accusations to Yahoo, our ISP, our administrative contact, and the entire world through this despicable IRCCR yahoo group.
The Bible teaches us that to rush to judgment is unwise, and a way of fools. It further states that “he who answers a matter before he hears the facts is a fool.” Unfortunately, we are dealing here with a rash, judgmental, angry, hate filled, and spiteful man who violates all of the principles of balance and prudence taught throughout the pages of the Bible.
Just to give you an understanding of the character of this individual, let me quote some brief excerpts from his recent emails, as well as some things published in the press about him. I am sure you will find this interesting.

To which our staffer answered with an apology and a promise to look into the matter further come Monday morning, when our offices opened.
He stated this to us:
=============================
As you are aware, your ISP has a zero tolerance for
spam and would

Note, the issue of spam in this instance is debatable, to say the least, to any rational mind.

probably shut your website down with the
physical evidence that I will be providing.

You could also loose all Yahoo privilages.

If the evidence supports legal liability, I will
also log your name,

Corporations, email address/s and domain
address/s on a worldwide spam registry. Your organization will be linked
to spam and no ISP will touch you in the future.

So, our volunteer did issue the demanded apology, but the attacks continue unabated, not waiting for the results of our own investigation into this matter.
Instead, he has done us much further damage today.
Peck is not a patient man, but rather very imprudent and prone to rush to judgment, not to mention extremely arrogant, as he himself admits.

The person responsible for the spam message in> question has not> begun to see arrogance!>> Jim Peck, P.I.> James B. Peck & Associates> Scottsdale, AZ 85254> >

I am sure this is not the image of the professional PI that you would like to present to the world!
But today, not wishing to wait on my reply as promised, he got even more ridiculous and defamatory:

At this time, I wish to issue an ecommerce
warning with regard to the Destiny-Worldwide.net web site.
In my opinion they have violated numerous FTC laws and
I am currently checking Costa Rican laws.
Those are ridiculous fabrications, and the ecommerce warning is also ridiculous, as we offer almost nothing for sale at our site, although we do gratefully take donations and attempt to help people in their daily lives! I don’t have the faintest idea what “FTC LAWS AND REGULATIONS” could apply to a CHURCH anyway, as we are a religious organization, which Mr. Peck COULD have discovered upon a further examination of the Restoration Website, which takes up the majority of the disk space on the domain.
We are taking Mr. Peck’s “warning” very seriously, and the question to you is, do you REALLY want such a person of this caliber representing the PI’s of Arizona to the world? Well, he IS, sad to say, unless you can help rectify this situation even though he is not a member.
But his vicious attacks and spurious accusations didn’t stop there. Further down in his most recent email of today, he writes:

When I wrote to the registrant of the domain and
asked a few questions, he continued to send spam
messages
What a ridiculous and untrue statement, and he knows it! Our address is subscribed to the list in question and so is his. Therefore, he has GIVEN HIS PERMISSION TO RECEIVE ANY EMAIL SENT TO THIS GROUP, AND HE KNOWS IT! If he doesn’t like the messages he receives from the list, he can unsubscribe himself, as we plan to do the moment these attacks on us stop and he issues an apology to EVERYONE he has contacted in this matter.
Also, since when are our representative’s explanations spam? In what warped, perverted, sick, mind can they be construed so?
Only Satan can be responsible for such horrendous and downright evil behavior.
========================================
in the forum. He never listed his name in the
message. This is very suspious to me.
Really, since when is not revealing one’s name and preserving one’s privacy “suspicious?” Especially when the “requests” are barked out as orders by some master to a slave. We will NOT tolerate your tone and attitude any further, Mr. Peck. How DARE you make such ridiculous and outrageous claims and insinuations? You should be glad that we have commissioned this matter to GOD, Mr. Peck, and are praying for your enlightenment, and that you will see the light of truth, love, joy, peace, and brotherhood, and will stop breathing forthe hate, envy, Satanic anger and spite!
OF COURSE the old lady who volunteered to answer our email over the weekend refused to give her name to a loud mouthed Satan inspired man breathing threats against her and her Church! As a pastor, I cannot call you what you should be called. All I can say is “Get thee behind me Satan!”
And I have given instructions to EVERYONE HERE not to give out their names to you, nor to anyone you are working with, as a precaution against who knows what further abuse you might subject them to personally!
HOW DARE YOU BE SO ARROGANT, RUDE AND PRESUMPTUOUS?


In view of the foregoing, I am focusing my
investigation toward the domain, the registrant and the ISP.

You are hereby demanded to cease all of your perverted postings, slander, and mud slinging immediately!
I am sorry, but I had to take a few moments to address myself to Mr. Peck, as he will be reading this message, in order to give him one last chance at repentance before we take this issue to its next level, which will be the worldwide media, the preparation of press kits, etc., etc..
As I said, this is weighing heavily upon my soul, and we need to have closure of this immediately, or we will next be contacting all media.
We appeal to you to mediate in this sordid affair, and to also report the suspicious activities and egregious behavior of James Peck to the appropriate regulatory authorities in your state, before reporters show up at both of your offices demanding answers in this matter.
We pray that God will give you enlightenment, grace, and wisdom in this serious matter that neither one of us enjoys.
As stated, it is our Church policy not to publicize names, so I simply sign this as:

Pastor General, Restoration Church of God

Hello all!
Apparantly, the present excreble Costa Rican
government doesn't like some of the news and
commentary we have recently posted.
Apparantly, they don't like their buddies at the
IMF
to be exposed for what they are.
They apparantly don't like the fact that this
network, almost alone in the world, provides the
truth about what is going on, not only in Costa
Rica,
but also in the world.
We tell the TRUTH about the idiotic war in Iraq,
which this limp wristed government signed up to and
supported, at least until the people of Costa Rica
stood up and let themselves be counted.
Apparantly they don't like the exposure of the
Costa
Rican government's grab for gringo dollars,
although
in their largest attempted theft, associated
with the
Villobos Brothers fiasco, was never consumated
because Enrique WAS conducting an honest
business and
our money WAS working for us, and was not idling
away
in some bank account locally where the government
could just grab it by using their new powers
granted
to them in the new drug and anti money laundering
laws, which gives them the power of asset
forfeiture.
This is like giving candy to a baby, or drugs to a
drug addict or vodka to a drunk. They couldn't
handle it, and neither can they. They couldn't
help
but abuse it, and so have they. They have
proven, in
the first case, right out of the stall, that
they are
patterned after their evil puppet masters in
Washington D.C., and when Washington says jump,
they
are ready to ask "how high."
What a horrible shame and affrotnt this so called
"anti corruption" administration is,
with more
scandals unleashing themselves each week than some
administrations had during their entire
administration.
One wonders just whose payroll these people are
on.
We know for a fact that almost one entire
department
is on the payroll of the US puppet regime in
Taiwan.
So, if you want to view destiny-worldwide.net, and
you live in Costa Rica, you will have to do it
through what is called a "proxy server."
This server will allow you to bypass the Costa
Rican
government's imbicilic blockage on our domain, so
that you can view our website, and others they
would
rather you did not see.
To learn about this, go to this url BEFORE THEY
BLOCK
IT TOO, and save the information to your local
computer. If you find this site blocked, go to
google and enter the words "anonymous
proxy" or some
such language and it should give you such a large
number that these goons can't block them all.
http://www.proxy4free.com/index.html
So, tell this present regime, which attempts to
shut
up criticism and dissent, to go straight to hell,
learn how to hook up a proxy server, and give BB
the
finger!

 The following report came out this past week on
the recent IMF meeting

with Costa Rican officials. It is interesting
to read between the

lines.



Knowing that they want to destroy developing
nations around the world,

so that they can crush the middle class, and
extract the maximum value

out of their target countries is to have already
won half the battle.



They began laying the groundwork for their evil
in Argentina three years

or maybe a little bit more before the crash there.



If you will look at their suggestions below, you
will see tha they are

telling Costa Rica, Hondouras, and a few other
countries of their

present &quot;tour&quot; to do the same.



I will highlight the news article below so you
can see what kind of

wicked evil game they are playing:



Statement by IMF Deputy Managing Director
Carstens at the Conclusion

of his Visit to Costa Rica



International Monetary Fund (IMF) Deputy
Managing Director Agustín

Carstens made the following statement in San José:



&quot;This is my first visit to Costa Rica as
Deputy Managing Director of

the Fund, and it is a great pleasure for me to
be here today. This

morning, I had the privilege of meeting with
President Abel Pacheco.



[I wonder if this corrupt Mexican politician was
also &quot;investigating&quot;

corruption here? I doubt it. As long as the
Prez does what they want,

no investigations! Just one of the perks of
doing what your boss says!]





I also had productive meetings with Finance
Minister Alberto Dent,

Central Bank President Francisco de Paula
Gutiérrez, and coordinator

of the economic team Ronulfo Jiménez. The Fund
greatly values this

opportunity to continue developing the
productive dialogue with the

Costa Rican authorities.





&quot;Costa Rica is a pillar of democratic
tradition in Central America.

It's sound institutions and impressive social
development track

record are models for other countries in the
region. Costa Rica has

continued to record strong economic growth
during the recent global

and regional downturn, which attests to its
resilience and sound

growth potential. Over the past decade, Costa
Rica has succeeded in

diversifying its export base and in attracting
sizable foreign direct

investment flows.[too bad they decided to steal
the money as soon as old

el Presidante took office. But too bad for them
that Enrique was ready

for them. As you will soon see, all is not
sweetness and light here

economically, unlike what he says here in his
fluff. The truth of the

matter is that the foreign investment began to
dry up when they

illegally closed the Brothers. But that wasn’t'
enough. We have now had

the Super FUND expat money grab, and now the
mysterious &quot;collapse&quot; of

Banco Elca, following on the heels of the
collapse of Bantec -- both

banks with loads of loads of ex pat cash!]
Sound institutions, high

levels of education, and an outward-looking
growth strategy have been

important assets in these efforts.





&quot;Looking forward, the outlook for Costa
Rica is favorable, although

there are major challenges to overcome.[one of
which is the IMF!] In

particular, I fully agree

with the Costa Rican authorities that the upward
trend in public debt

needs to be reversed to ensure the
sustainability of the public

finances, and to continue strengthening the
financial system.[Now this

part is true. THEY REALLY DO NEED TO GET
CONTROL OF THEIR PROFLIGATE

SPENDING HABITS, WHICH IS WHAT CREATES THE
DEFICIT] I was

encouraged by President Pacheco's assurance that
the tax reform

before Congress [Well, this is the absolute
OPPOSITE of what this

country needs to do. If they are stupid enough
to go along with the IMF

and raise taxes to European levels, then all of
a sudden, there will be

no expat dollars here anymore, as the goose that
lays the golden eggs

will slip across the border in either direction
to find better places.

Then, Costa Rica can whine with Europe and the
US about &quot;unfair tax

practices&quot; while they watch their local
economy implode. Remember, any

country that takes the IMF's recommendations
ends up in poverty and

distress like Argentina. What this government
really needs to do is

SLASH SPENDING AND CUT TAXES, STARTING WITH
THEIR ONEROUS IMPORT DUTIES.

They can start cutting right at the top, and
quit wasting buckets of

money on fancy offices for public institutions.
They should have to

rent space in the same office buildings the
average people have to use,

not be ensconced in palaces at the public's
expense! In fact, there is

plenty of office space in downtown San Jose at
very reasonable prices,

and they should be FORCED to take this option,
not build grand office

towers and other monuments to public waste and
corruption!] and the

adoption of the Free Trade Agreement between

Central America and the United States are
priorities [Really? CAFTA is

much more than a treaty, it is a tool of
exploitation for predatory

international corporations! Just look at the
destruction of the

environment and the erosion of the wage base
NAFTA brought to Mexico!

In fact, the only people NAFTA has helped has
NOT been the average

person in any of the signatory countries! NO,
IT IS THE WORKER WHO HAS

BEEN SCREWED AND THE PREDATORY INTERNATIONALIST
CORPORATIONS WHO ARE THE

ONLY ONES WHO PROFITED FROM THAT! The GIANT
SUCKING SOUND vacuumed up

US jobs, and sent them to Mexico, where workers
were forced to endure

inhumane and dangerous working conditions at
slave wages! The Costa

Rican worker had better watch out, because his
labor protection laws are

NEXT on the IMF HIT LIST! Then, envoronmental
standards will be

destroyed, so that they can just throw their
toxic wastes into the

rivers like they did in Mexico. Of course, this
guy, being a Mexican,

should know better, but I am sure his pocket
book is very happy by

supporting this rape and pillage agenda.] for the

government and have the broad support of Costa
Rican society.



&quot;To maximize the benefits of integration
with the global and regional

economy, and to address more effectively Costa
Rica's challenges, we

discussed the need for a comprehensive reform
agenda.[Translation: YOUR

LAWS WON'T ALLOW OUR PREDATORY GLOBALIST
CORPORATE GREED TO RAPE YOU, SO

THEY HAVE TO GO!] We agreed on

the importance of complementing the current
initiatives with a

strengthening of tax administration, reforms in
public spending, and

better performance by public enterprises.[Now
that's a socialist wish

list with no basis in reality! Give me a break.
Public institutions

are the definition of waste and corruption] We
shared the view that

monetary policy should focus on reducing
inflation to low single

digits and, to this end, it will be necessary to
recapitalize the

central bank.[OH, so you mean THE CENTRAL BANK
IS BROKE, AND NOBODY EVER

TOLD US! And just HOW are you planning to
recapitalize it? READ ON,

BRAVE READER, BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS HERE AND YOU
WON'T LIKE IT!] In the

financial sector, it is essential to level the

playing field between public and private banks,
local and offshore

banks,[OH, so they are planning something that
will bring down the

inflation rate of the colon, recapitalize the
Central Bank, and level

the playing field between all of these. How?
He answsers this now:]

and colón and dollars
intermediation.[INTERMEDIATION IS A FANCY WORD

HERE FOR EXCHANGE, SO HE IS TALKING ABOUT
CONTROLLING THE COLON/DOLLAR

EXCHANGE RATE AND MORE, BUT HERE IS ANOTHER CLUE
TO THE EVIL THEY WANT

TO DO:] On these basis, it will

be possible to revive intermediation in colones[
WAIT A MINUTE, WHY

WOULD YOU NEED TO REVIVE THE INTERMEDIATION OF
COLONS WHEN IT IS ALREADY

GOING ON? WELL, MAYBE BECAUSE THEY PLAN TO
IMPOSE EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND

OUTLAW DOLLAR ACCOUNTS, AND FORCE CONVERT ALL
DOLLAR ACCOUNTS INTO

COLONS! THIS WOULD &quot;LEVEL THE PLAYING
FIELD&quot; IN ONE FELL SWOOP,

WOULDN'T IT? AND THEN, YOU CAN
&quot;RECAPITALIZE THE CENTRAL BANK&quot;
BECAUSE

THEY WILL TAKE YOUR DOLLARS INTO THE CENTRAL
BANK, THEREBY

RECAPITALYZING IT, AND EXCHANGE YOUR DOLLARS FOR
THE WORHTLESS COLONS

THAT THE CENTRAL BANK WILL THEN PRINT UP, AND
PROMPTLY DEVALUE ONCE IT

HAS ARRIVED IN YOUR ACCOUNT! IT'S A NICE OUT
FOR THE CR GOVERNMENT TO

UNBURDEN A LOT OF THEIR DEBT, AND A NEAT WAY FOR
THE IMF AND OTHER

INTERNATIONAL BANKSTERS TO STEAL YOUR MONEY AND
MAKE SURE THAT THE CR

GOVERNMENT PAYS THEM BACK IN DOLLARS ON THEIR
LOANS, LEAVING THE EX PAT

AND THE COSTA RICAN NATIONAL HOLDING THE SHORT
END OF THE STICK AGAIN!

AND THEN, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO CONVERT COLONS
BACK TO DOLLARS ANYMORE

UNLESS THE GOVENRMENT ALLOWS IT, JUST AS
HAPPENED IN ARGENTINA BEFORE

THEIR COLLAPSE!] and gradually reduce

the dollarization of the financial
system.[TRANSLATION: SEIZE THE

DOLLARS, SWITCH TO WORHTLESS COLONS, DEVALAUE,
AND EVERYONE BUT THE

LITTLE GUY IS HAPPY! WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT
THIS?



[And remember, these same games were pulled in
Argentina. You could no

longer have dollars, you were forced to convert
to pesos, which were

promptly devalauted. Then, to prop up the
failing banking system, they

tried to outlaw cash and say you could only buy
things with your debit

card, so you had to return your money to the
bank and spend it only from

there. PROMPTLY AFTER DOING THIS, the
government then said the banks

were broke, and you could only have about
$250.00/month out of the bank

no matter how much you had in there! So that
would be the &quot;restoring

intermediation&quot; and &quot;de dollarizing
the economy.&quot; The international

banksters are happy, the government is happy --
WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT

THIS IDEA? And, if Costa Rica passes the new
tax regulations to screw

all of the businesses and people of this country
into the ground to pay

for their greed, corruption, kick backs, pay
offs, etc., and they follow

that with the passage of CAFTA, then the
international elite will be

able to completely by pass local laws and
regulations &quot;at last,&quot; so that

they can pollute, abuse workers, and do whatever
they want and there

will be absolutely nothing Costa Rica can do
about it then. THAT is

what these &quot;recommendations&quot; will do.
And they want to get this done in

a hurry before Costa Rica thinks about joining
Mercosur, made up of

countries that have already been raped by this
band of international

criminals, who have decided to stand up to these
animals.]



&quot;A comprehensive reform agenda would also
be a key factor in

harnessing [harnessing, like a horse or a SLAVE,
not a human being]

Costa Rica's considerable growth potential and

capitalizing on its impressive record of social
progress.[IE. SUCK IT

DRY] I fully

share the authorities' view that to make such an
agenda feasible, the

reforms will need to be carefully prioritized
and, more importantly,

have the support of Costa Rican society.[Not a
chance if people begin to

understand what you bandits are all about!]



&quot;During our meetings, I also had the
opportunity to hear the views of

the authorities on how the Fund could further
enhance its cooperation

with Costa Rica. We agreed that there is scope
for more technical

assistance, especially in regard to the
financial system, tax policy,

and macroeconomic statistics. We wish to
continue developing the

close dialogue we have maintain thus far with
Costa Rica and wish to

have the opportunity to jointly meet the
challenges facing the

region.&quot; [YEAH, RIGHT!]
