Smith Wednesday, July 25, 2001 On the dark night of July 5, a Jamaican reportedly landed a sizable boat carrying 15 Chinese on the Atlantic shore of Kennedy Space Center. NASA officials admitted that the Jamaican and his Chinese human cargo remained undetected for hours, concealed in the brush, until the he blundered into a uniformed officer on patrol. The boat landed near the new Pad 41 Atlas-V complex, two miles south of space shuttle Discovery, which was then being readied for launch on Pad 39A. The Jamaican asked to use the NASA officer's cell phone, apparently to call for a pickup from an onshore contact. Instead, the NASA officer called for more help from security. The Jamaican and the Chinese were quickly rounded up by NASA security personnel and handed over to Immigration and Naturalization Service officers. However, accomplices in the boat escaped undetected. Security officials believe the Chinese landed at the launch site by mistake, planning instead to sneak ashore along a nearby deserted beach. The concern is that the boat operations and people in the brush went unnoticed for hours, in what is supposed to be a highly secure area. NASA officials admitted that had the Chinese been armed with even light weapons they could have attacked the space shuttle, or the USAF Titan launch pads before being detected. The greatest concern for NASA officials is a sniper attack. The July 5 security breach proved that a trained terrorist with survival skills could easily penetrate within shooting distance of the shuttle. The terrorist could then remain concealed until just before launch and use a high-powered rifle or other portable weapon to attack the orbiter. NASA officials expressed similar concerns last year during an investigation of a Boeing Delta rocket that blew up seconds after launch from the Florida space center. Several witnesses stated that the dramatic low-altitude explosion of the Delta rocket was preceded by the sound similar to a rifle being fired nearby. No one was injured in the explosion, but damage was done to the Delta launch pad, and the payload, a USAF GPS navigation satellite, was destroyed. FBI and NASA officials inspected video and audiotape of the launch for evidence of a shot being fired but found no conclusive data. Suicide Air Attack NASA is also concerned about airborne terrorist attacks. Kennedy Space Center has no means of air defense, especially against a suicide pilot in a small civilian airplane. The Cessna 150 is considered the most difficult light aircraft to stop because of its small size and low speed. For example, a 16-year-old German student once flew a Cessna 150 into the heart of the Soviet Union, landing in the Kremlin. The German student flew hundreds of miles through the teeth of the Soviet air defense system without detection. A Cessna 150 also once barely missed the White House. The Cessna suicide pilot missed only because he clipped a tree planted by President Andrew Jackson that protected the building. The pilot was killed but concerned Secret Service agents pointed out they had little chance of stopping the attacker even with hand held Stinger missiles. The plane, the size of a compact car, simply flew in undetected at street level. China, Russia and Bin Laden The concern inside NASA is backed by threats against the U.S. by suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden because of the planned launch of the first Israeli astronaut Llan Ramaon on the orbiter Columbia in May 2002. NASA recently abandoned use of the Ben Guerir, Morocco, trans-Atlantic abort site for the shuttle because of terrorist risks. Kennedy Space Center was already at a heightened "Threatcon Alpha" status when the July 5 Chinese landing occurred. According to former Soviet GRU agent Col. Stanislav Lunev, China and Russia already have Special Forces teams inside the United States with order to attack sites such as Kennedy Space Center. During an interview, Lunev noted that PRC Special Forces agents are rotated regularly in and out of America, usually through diplomatic sites at the U.N. or the Chinese Embassy. Lunev stated that Russian and Chinese army operatives in the U.S. have also created large stockpiles of arms for use in time of war. These communist weapon caches are reportedly hidden all over America. According to Lunev, the Chinese and Russian weapon stockpiles include explosives, nerve gas, anthrax and as many as 120 "suitcase" nuclear bombs. Machine Guns in the U.S. China has previously been accused of smuggling weapons into the United States. In 1996, Chinese army-owned Poly Technologies, an arms company, plotted with China North Industries, another PLA arms company, to illegally import 2,000 Chinese machine guns into America. According to Customs agents, Poly Technology official Robert Ma conspired with Norinco representative Richard Chen to import 2,000 fully automatic AK-47s into the United States. The sale was made directly to Customs agents posing as Miami drug smugglers. Lu Yi Lun, described in court documents as Norinco's No. 2 official, was also charged. U.S. investigators say arms broker Hammond Ku, a key figure in the case, told undercover U.S. agents three times that China's government knew what was happening. According to the 100-page federal indictment from one of the key undercover agents, Chen and Ma had difficulty in getting the "barrels" because they required "higher-level permission." The bust took place on board an official Chinese COSCO state-owned ship in the port of Los Angeles. The agents recovered more than 2,000 machine guns packed in a COSCO truck freight box. Ma and Chen fled the United States and have never faced charges. The COSCO ship was released after the machine guns were removed. The Customs officials added that the Chinese agents apparently believed the automatic rifles were going to U.S. street gangs. U.S. investigators also said company representatives tried to sell rocket launchers, anti-aircraft missiles, machine guns and even tanks to U.S. undercover agents. ================================================================ Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ================================================================ <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
