[CTRL] U.S. Double Standards
-Caveat Lector- the following is copied fromhttp://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20021028&s=zunesPosted October 10, 2002US Double Standardsby Stephen ZunesThe effort by the Bush Administration and Congress to portray the planned invasion of Iraq as simply an effort to enforce United Nations Security Council resolutions reaches a new low in double standards. A survey of the nearly 1,500 resolutions passed by the Security Council, the fifteen-member enforcement arm of the UN in which the United States and the four other permanent members wield veto power, reveals more than ninety resolutions currently violated by countries other than Iraq. The vast majority of these violations are by governments closely allied to the United States. Not only have the Bush Administration and its Congressional allies not suggested invading these countries; the United States has blocked sanctions and other means of enforcing them, and even provides the military and economic aid that helps make ongoing violations possible.For example, in 1975, after Morocco's invasion of Western Sahara and Indonesia's invasion of East Timor, the Security Council passed a series of resolutions demanding immediate withdrawal. However, then-US ambassador to the UN Daniel Patrick Moynihan bragged that "the Department of State desired that the United Nations prove utterly ineffective in whatever measures it undertook. The task was given to me, and I carried it forward with no inconsiderable success." East Timor finally won its freedom in 1999. Moroccan forces still occupy Western Sahara. Meanwhile, Turkey remains in violation of Security Council Resolution 353 and more than a score of resolutions calling for its withdrawal from northern Cyprus, which Turkey, a NATO ally, invaded in 1974.The most extensive violator of Security Council resolutions is Israel. Israel's refusal to respond positively to the formal acceptance this past March by the Arab League of the land-for-peace formula put forward in Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 arguably puts Israel in violation of these resolutions, long seen as the basis for Middle East peace. More clearly, Israel has defied Resolutions 267, 271 and 298, which demand that it rescind its annexation of greater East Jerusalem, as well as dozens of other resolutions insisting that Israel cease its violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention, such as deportations, demolition of homes, collective punishment and seizure of private property. Unlike some of the hypocritical and meanspirited resolutions passed by the UN General Assembly, like the now-rescinded 1975 resolution equating Zionism with racism, these Security Council resolutions are well grounded in international law and were passed with US support or abstention. Security Council Resolutions 446, 452 and 465 require that Israel evacuate all its illegal settlements on occupied Arab lands. The United States, however, now insists that the fate of the settlements is a matter for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. The US decision to help fund Israel's construction of Jewish-only "bypass roads" in the occupied West Bank to connect the illegal settlements with Israel puts the United States in violation of Article 7 of Resolution 465, which prohibits member states from facilitating Israel's colonization drive.The violations of Security Council resolutions by American allies stand in contradiction to the UN Charter and Geneva Conventions, longstanding and universally applied foundations of international law. The sections of Security Council Resolution 687 (demanding Iraqi disarmament) currently violated by Iraq, in contrast, are unprecedented infringements of traditional concepts of national sovereignty and apply to that country only.According to Articles 41 and 42 of the UN Charter, no member state has the right to enforce any resolution militarily unless the Security Council determines that there has been a material breach of the resolution, decides that all nonmilitary means of enforcement have been exhausted and specifically authorizes the use of military force. This is what the council did in November 1990 with Resolution 678 in response to Iraq's occupation of Kuwait, which violated a series of resolutions passed that August demanding Iraq's withdrawal. When Iraq finally complied by withdrawing from Kuwait in March 1991, this resolution became moot.If the United States can unilaterally claim the right to invade Iraq because of that country's violations of Security Council resolutions, other council members could logically claim the right to invade states that are also in violation; for example, Russia could claim the right to invade Israel, France could claim the right to invade Turkey and Britain could claim the right to invade Morocco. The US insistence on the right to attack unilaterally could seriously undermine the principle of collective security and the authority of the UN, and in so doing would open the door to international anarchy.Do you Yahoo!? www.c
[CTRL] CIA Invades once suspicious American Campuses following 9/11
-Caveat Lector- --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:CIA Invades American CampusesOctober 4, 2002PAGE ONEAfter Sept. 11, CIA Becomes A Growing Force on CampusAgency Finds It Needs Experts From Academia,And Colleges Pressed for Cash Like the RevenueBy DANIEL GOLDENStaff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNALHENRIETTA, N.Y. -- John Phillips has some daunting assignments for seniors at the Rochester Institute of Technology.To graduate, some of them will tackle any of a half-dozen science projects he's dreamed up at RIT's request. For instance: how to identify a terrorist in disguise based on bone structure, and how to bend light rays to keep a spy in the shadows."Make me invisible," the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Mr. Phillips exhorted researchers during an August visit to the 15,300-student university in this Rochester suburb.Mr. Phillips takes more than an academic interest in these questions. As chief scientist for the Central Intelligence Agency, he's looking for creative ways -- and minds -- to protect American operatives and track down enemies.In recent years, RIT has been unfriendly territory for the CIA. The agency was nearly invisible here after a 1991 scandal over its influence on research and curriculum led to the resignation of the school's president, who had for a time concealed his own work for the agency. But now the school and the espionage agency are engaged in what one faculty member terms a "courtship dance" -- reflecting a rapprochement between the CIA and higher education nationally in recent years, and particularly since the Sept. 11 attacks.The agency is feting scholars in key fields with the aim of recruiting their top students. Desperate to upgrade its technology and analysis after failing to anticipate the terrorist attacks, it's hiring more scholars as consultants and boosting funding for academic research in such fields as language-translation software, computer security and sensors that can detect chemicals, sounds or movement from a long distance.Academia, long suspicious of the CIA, has been receptive -- for reasons of both patriotism and self-interest. At a time when American companies are cutting back on hiring and research support, universities are turning to the 13 federal intelligence agencies, including the CIA, to pick up the slack. "It's just amazing, the number of universities coming to us and saying, 'What can we do to help?' " says Mr. Phillips. He says one scientist now accepting CIA funding told him, "Before 9/11, I wouldn't have been seen in the same room with you."Agency LinksUnderscoring this newfound rapport, two state universities this year appointed presidents with links to the CIA. Texas A&M University named former CIA director Robert Gates. Arizona State chose Michael Crow, vice chairman of In-Q-Tel Inc., the nonprofit venture-capital arm of the CIA that funds companies developing spy technology.About 30 academic political scientists and economists are now moonlighting with the intelligence community, plugging gaps left in its monitoring of global backwaters such as the Pacific Islands after agency analysts were transferred to the counterterrorism beat. The academics get paid for contributing to memos prepared for senior policy makers and for speaking at official seminars, among other things. A typical reservist might make $10,000 a year for such work."It would have been very difficult to have this program 10 years ago, during the Cold War, because there was much more of a rift between academia and government," says program coordinator Christopher Darlington. "Times have changed."Since the CIA's founding in 1947, the agency's relationship with academe has waxed and waned. Ivy League faculty largely created the CIA's analytic branch, which studies other countries but isn't directly involved in spying on them. Then, in the Vietnam era, the agency became anathema on campus for its covert activities in Latin America and elsewhere. In the 1980s, it sought to re-establish ties, sponsoring as many as 75 academic conferences a year. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the agency closed its research-and-development office and cut back funding for academia.Now, the funding taps have been turned on again. Since Sept. 11, Mr. Phillips says the budget of his Intelligence Technology Innovation Center has doubled, although the specific figures are classified. That has given the 56-year-old scientist a chance to convert his fantasies into reality.In his office at CIA headquarters, Mr. Phillips looks through a magnifying glass at what he calls "the world's smallest robot," a miniature remote-controlled go-cart that's about the size of a nickel. "You could mount a camera on this," he suggests. "I'd like to drop this on Saddam Hussein, have it follow him around and tell you what he's doing."Since fiscal 2000, Mr. Phillips's office has sponsored $2 million a year of unclassified research by postdoctoral fellows at Sandia National Laboratories, where the robot was developed, as
[CTRL] Over-Priced Musings
-Caveat Lector- the following is copied fromhttp://www.impactpress.com/articles/octnov02/musings101102.htmlOver-Priced Musings: by Don PflasterThe greatest users of the Global Positioning System (GPS) are within the aviation industry. A close second are ocean going vessels, whose reliance on positioning is arguably more crucial, having almost no visual cues to know the location of their vessel while sitting on the ocean's surface. The GPS system allows people to know their exact position on the earth, and with recent advances, to within 10 meters, given ideal conditions.Generally, such a system is passive, using a receiver to pick up the vergence of signals from a constellation of satellites in Earth's orbit. However, if one were required to obtain a system that not only received but also transmitted signals, the system could be tracked by satellite quite easily.The watchful eye of government is now turning to the sea in the form of such GPS transmitters. Promised to usher in a new era of security and safety, there will soon be a mandatory tracking system imposed on all commercial vessels traveling the St. Lawrence Seaway. Operation of the St. Lawrence is jointly controlled by the United States and Canada, and connects the Atlantic Ocean to all of the Great Lakes via 1,400 miles of river, utilizing a system of locks. It is a major channel of commerce with dozens of major ports, allowing such cities as Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Montreal, and Toledo access to the sea.The Seaway's new tracking system, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS), is now in final testing and will be deployed at the beginning of the 2003 navigation season. Hailed as a new era of security and safety, the system will offer unprecedented government control over the channel from three tracking stations, and will be able to know the position of every ship in every kind of weather. It will offer better scheduling of ship movement through the locks, and better ship-to-ship communications as well, allowing ships to more easily avoid collisions.Though this system has been in the making for about a decade, one must wonder if the process was not recently pushed along with the advent of terrorism on U.S. soil. Millions of cargo containers entering U.S. ports go uninspected, sending jitters up the spines of legislators sworn to protect their citizens against whatever nasty items might be smuggled inside them.Aside from the traditional contraband cargo of drugs and illegal immigrants, the more pressing concern about the contents of cargo containers are terrorism-related. Radiological, chemical, or biological weapons are what the U.S. is exhaustively looking for now. The only way to prevent weapons of mass destruction or terrorists themselves from entering the country through the seaway is to thoroughly inspect all suspicious container ships leaving or entering.We are far from such across-the-board inspection--currently only 2% of all containers are inspected. But this trial run on the St. Lawrence River will serve as a test case for future implementations, as the jurisdictions using such a system will likely be broadened in the future. There is currently a proposal pending before the United Nations' International Maritime Organization (IMO) to put in place a new system that will track all vessels worldwide by 2008. The United States recently asked the UN to bump it up to January 2004, but was met with resistance.Imposing such broad inspections on commercial traffic is probably a good idea to safeguard our vulnerable ports. However, many times in the past we have observed the phenomenon of "function creep," or the evolution of a good idea into a monstrously larger bad one.Once active satellite tracking of all ocean vessels is put into place and increases the effectiveness of security dozens of times over, the technology may move to land-based shipping and transportation, such as commercial trucks and buses. After all, in these times of terror, trucks are often inspected at the entrances to major bridges and tunnels. Wouldn't it be nice to divert those human resources somewhere else and let a computer alert us to when an unregistered truck tries to cross a major thoroughfare? And wouldn't we all be safer if we had the government looking after private citizens with a mandatory satellite-based vehicle tracking system?Early adopters already have such systems such as OnStar in their Cadillacs, which allow authorities to know exactly where one is in the event of an emergency. Currently, such transmission of one's whereabouts by private citizens is voluntary. But tracking of people and their vehicles has uses by governments and industries that are being developed on an as-needed or as-desired basis, and once the usefulness of that information becomes apparent, mandatory tracking could soon extend to private citizens.For instance, police have used records from the northeast's E-Z Pass toll collection system and New York's Metrocard system as

Rothman insisted on reading a one-page editorial that saluted veterans, accused an American scientist of causing the post-Sept. 11 anthrax attacks and spoke out against a possible war with Iraq.''The servicemen and women of our nation are again being asked to offer their lives on foreign soil to prevent conditions which the political and military leadership themselves here at home have developed,'' Rothman wrote.``The men and women are being asked to attack and destroy a people whose only error is their leadership.''Ezra Krieg, resource development director of the Broward Partnership for the Homeless, told Rothman he could not read his statement during the ceremony at the homeless center.''The gentleman wanted to make a political statement during the event. I told him to do it during a house meeting,'' Krieg said. 'He suggested that the only way he'd be stopped is by violence. The moment he said `violent act' I told him he'd have to leave the facility.''The shelter has ''zero tolerance'' for violence or the threat of violence, Krieg said.Krieg called Sunday's disturbance ``very unfortunate.It's important to be able to speak your mind, but it has to be in an appropriate setting,'' Krieg said. ``The story today is to honor veterans. It's not for our individual political views.''While the rest of the homeless veterans practiced marching in step for the ceremony, Krieg and Rothman exchanged words.Then Krieg had the Fort Lauderdale police called to arrest Rothman, a resident of the shelter for a week.After talking to Rothman and Krieg, the officer handcuffed Rothman outside of the shelter and put him in the back of the police cruiser.Police charged Rothman with trespassing. Rothman said doesn't know where he will live after leaving jail. He was kicked out of the shelter.Copyright 2002 Miami HeraldDo you Yahoo!? www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Iraqi government will accept U.N. mandate
-Caveat Lector- "Lori R. Price" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Breaking News and Commentary from Citizens for Legitimate Government November 13, 2002 http://www.legitgov.org/ -- BREAKING NEWS AND COMMENTARY-- http://legitgov.org/index.html#breaking_newsBreaking News: -- The Iraqi government will accept a U.N. mandate to submit to inspections and disarmament of weapons of mass destruction, Reuters and other sources say. Iraqi cancers, birth defects blamed on U.S. depleted uranium -- On the "Highway of Death," 11 miles north of the Kuwait border, a collection of tanks, armored personnel carriers and other military vehicles are rusting in the desert. They also are radiating nuclear energy. Asking The Hard Questions On Iraq -- by Paul Vitello "The news conference was getting ugly. 'Do you even like America?' asked one member of the press corps. 'It seems like you have a lot of complaints.' Bush warns Iraq after parliament rejects UN resolution -- Vote greeted with derision by US Dictator -- The shadow-boxing between America and Iraq continued yesterday when the parliament in Baghdad recommended rejecting the United Nations resolution on weapons inspections and Dictator George Bush said such a decision would lead to war.Defensible Tripwire for War -- (The Christian Science Monitor) "President [sic] Bush failed over the summer to provide enough hard evidence of Iraqi support for Al Qaeda to justify a war against Saddam Hussein. But rather than retreat in the face of international doubts, Mr. Bush instead launched a new moral offensive." Let 'The Quiet American' Speak -- by Brett Dakin "Australian director Phillip Noyce's film adaptation of Graham Greene's 1955 novel, 'The Quiet American,' is set in Saigon during the early years of America's involvement in Vietnam... 'The Quiet American' has been finished for more than a year, and it was a hit at the Toronto Film Festival. Critics at home and abroad have raved. But Americans still can't see it." Bush military role less than glorious -- (letter to The Boston Globe) -- by John Hamilton "Now that President [sic] Bush is preparing to order young Americans into battle, he should reflect on his own less than courageous behavior when America was asking young men to kill and die for 'freedom.' '' Imperiled pipeline gets U.S. troops in Colombia -- On the edge of the war-torn city of Saravena, U.S. military advisers are preparing for a major escalation of American involvement in Colombia's 38-year-old civil war.Argentina probes former Ford officials for links to murders -- An Argentine judge said on Monday he had opened a probe into allegations that former executives of U.S. automaker Ford's local unit were implicated in the "disappearances" of employees during the 1976-83 dictatorship. Up to 30,000 suspected leftists died or disappeared -- a euphemism for being kidnapped, tortured and murdered -- under Argentina's brutal military dictatorship. Many victims were thrown out of planes into the Atlantic Ocean while still alive. Webster Ends His Brief Stint on S.E.C. Oversight Board -- William H. Webster resigned today as head of a new board overseeing the accounting profession in the midst of continuing controversy over his ties to a company under investigation for fraud.FERC Scolded for Lack of Oversight -- The federal agency charged with policing the nation's energy markets to prevent price gouging continues to shirk its enforcement duties, a congressional report to be released today concludes. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has promised reforms to prevent a repeat of the abuses that marked California's 2000-2001 electricity crisis. Halliburton says submits 200,000 documents to SEC -- Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL) said on Tuesday said it has submitted about 200,000 documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an ongoing inquiry into the accounting practices at the oilfield services firm. Probes proceeding on several fronts -- Bulging boxes holding thousands of Enron documents line the walls four high in the offices of the Energy Task Force on the 18th floor of a downtown building leased to the California Attorney General's Office. Leading US companies 'expect to cut jobs' -- Executives from some of America's leading companies are expecting to cut jobs and delay investment over the coming year, in the latest sign that the US economic recovery is struggling to gain momentum.Senate shift on trees, oil and air -- When Republicans settle into chairing the Senate's 14 committees, it'll be hard to find any changes starker than those in the two panels that decide energy and environmental policies. Under Democrats, those committees were pulpits for critics of Bush mis-ministration policies on logging, air pollution and oil drilling. Now they are about to become pulpits for those who say that environmental regulations often outweigh any benefits and hurt the economy.Bechtel Vs.

[CTRL] SEC aide quits after leak to Chinese
-Caveat Lector- http://www.washtimes.com/national/2002-15015960.htmSEC aide quits after leak to ChineseBy Bill GertzTHE WASHINGTON TIMESAn employee of the Securities and Exchange Commission was forced to resign after it was discovered she had sent sensitive data on American computer companies to China in what U.S. officials say may be a case of economic espionage, The Washington Times has learned.Mylene Chan, a computer and online-service analyst with the SEC for 10 months, left the commission in July after co-workers discovered she had compromised sensitive information by sending it to Shanghai, said U.S. government officials close to the case."She was clearly expropriating things from the commission that weren't hers things that were not public information and that would cause competitive harm to the companies involved," one official close to the case said.The case was covered up by the SEC and never reported to the FBI as a case of economic espionage, the officials said."We have not seen anything on this," an FBI official said.Numerous U.S. companies whose proprietary information was handled by Miss Chan also were never informed that their information may have been compromised, the officials said.Miss Chan stated in an e-mail to The Times that she was not dismissed but resigned before the end of the one-year probationary period of her employment at the SEC."Part of my responsibilities at the SEC was to work with representatives of the China and [Hong Kong] securities commission and to assist to educate them about how the SEC functions and, in the course of that, I provided a small number of SEC materials mistakenly, all of which were retrieved as soon as I learned of the mistake," Miss Chan stated.Miss Chan also said, "I did not send CTRs to China."Within the commission, a CTR is a confidential-treatment request, secret reports provided by U.S. companies to SEC that contain proprietary and other sensitive information that companies do not want disclosed to the public or to competitors.The disclosure that the SEC shared sensitive corporate data with China is the latest problem for the commission that is charged with monitoring the securities industry.Chairman Harvey Pitt was forced to resign last week after it was disclosed that he had appointed former FBI Director William Webster to an SEC oversight panel. Mr. Pitt did not disclose to the White House that Mr. Webster was on a corporate audit board of a company under SEC investigation.Mr. Pitt was under fire from critics over contacts with companies under SEC investigation. He also was criticized by the conservative Center for Security Policy for ignoring the activities in U.S. capital markets of companies that have corporate operations in terrorist-sponsoring states.U.S. officials view the China data case as either economic espionage or state-sponsored espionage involving China.An internal SEC document obtained by The Times shows that Miss Chan had access to sensitive information from more than 15 high-tech companies, including several involved in cutting-edge software development.The document shows that Miss Chan also processed numerous confidential-treatment requests.Several of the companies whose data were compromised are engaged in security-related work and are contractors for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies.One company whose internal data were handled by Miss Chan is Veridian, a computer-system designer in Arlington that, according to the company, specializes in "mission-critical national security programs for the national intelligence community, the Department of Defense, and government agencies involved in homeland security."A spokeswoman for Veridian said the company has sent confidential, proprietary information to the SEC but has heard nothing from the commission about any compromise of the data. Nothing in the SEC filings contained any information about the company's clients, the spokeswoman said.Officials said Miss Chan is a Chinese national who graduated from Yale University in 1996 and George Washington University Law School last year before being hired by the SEC.In an e-mail to several former co-workers, Miss Chan stated July 2, that "for personal reasons, I am leaving SEC and will be returning to Hong Kong. I resigned yesterday."Miss Chan said in the note that she planned to settle in Hong Kong "for good" in September. "Thanks a great deal for all your help," she wrote. "You all have been very kind to me. You are extremely generous with your time and knowledge, for which I am grateful."Miss Chan has filed requests for information from the SEC under the Freedom of Information Act in an effort to find out who within the commission was responsible for her forced resignation, officials said.SEC spokesman John Heine declined to comment on the circumstances surrounding Miss Chan's employment or whether the case is under investigation.Mr. Heine confirmed that Miss Chan, 28, left the SEC in July after 10 months in the SEC's corpora

General Ding was the commander of the Chinese Army Unit "COSTIND" (Commission on Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense). One part of the U.S./China project was to modernize the communist civil "Air Traffic Control" (ATC) system. The documented meetings shows that the Clinton administration attempted to conceal the military background of the Chinese representatives from everyone, including FAA officials. In 1993, a Chinese military delegation visited America. Yet, according the FAA, which sponsored the visit, the entire delegation was civilian. The 1993 FAA delegation list includes a "Mr. Kui Fulin" who toured FAA Headquarters in Washington, Andrews AFB in Maryland, and Boeing aircraft Corporation in Washington state. "Mr. Kui Fulin" was actually General Kui Fulin, Chinese Army Deputy Chief of the General Staff. The 1993 FAA list states "Mr. Li Yongtai" was the Commissioner of the Air Traffic Control Commission of China. According to hand written notes taken by the FAA, Mr. Li Yongtai was actually "Lt. General" Li Yongtai of the Chinese Air Force. In fact, FAA officials who attending the meeting wrote "military" next to the names of seven members of the 1993 "China Air Traffic Control" delegation in an apparent effort to track the Chinese Army officers. Another example shows that a "Mr. Li Zhongli" was part of a Chinese civilian delegation visit in 1997 to San Francisco that was sponsored by Stanford University. "Mr. Li Zhongli" was actually Colonel Li Zhongli of the PLAAF. In 1997, the PLAAF was given a demonstration in Sunnyvale California by Ashtech, a maker of GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) receivers. The briefing for the PLAAF and Chinese Navy officers states, "Ashtech produces a receiver that uses both the U.S. GPS signals and the Russian GLONASS signals resulting in significantly greater availability and integrity." According to a 1997 Rand Corp. report on the Chinese Defense Industry, "More accurate GPS systems would enhance the PLA's ability to carry out attacks against Taiwan's military and industrial facilities, potentially reducing the ability of the Taiwanese military to defend itself against PRC coercive diplomacy. The use of GPS to enhance the accuracy of long-range Chinese cruise missiles, coupled with long-range sensors, would raise serious concerns for the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Pacific, and possibly circumscribe their ability to provide an effective deterrent in a crisis over Taiwan." In 1999, the Clinton administration offered the PLAAF the latest in advanced "mobile radars", command and control systems, GPS navigation, and "Surveillance Avionics" such as "Air to Air", "Air to Ground" and "surface Area Movement" surveillance radars. According to a U.S. Air Force May 1999 report, the PLAAF was given details on USAF "Special Airspace" areas inside America used for military training, research and national security zones. The details include Edwards Air Force base and a mapped tour of the facility. Edwards AFB is a test center for USAF, and NASA research aircraft, including the space shuttle. The newly released materials also include training manuals from the USAF 334th Training Squadron in both english and Chinese. The documents show Clinton administration officials proposed to train PLAAF military air controllers. The USAF documents show PLAAF officers were given a "simulated" training mission. The training included a "two ship formation of F-16s from Luke AFB, Arizona" on a "bombing" and overflight mission in a training area, code-named "Baghdad", northwest of Prescott Arizona. The simulated exercise also included "in-flight refueling" with a tanker aircraft under control of a USAF AWACs plane. The USAF "AWACS" (airborne warning and control system) is a flying radar plane manned by Air Force radar controllers
[CTRL] Iran-Contra, September 11, SDI, Nestle, Folgers, and Texas Instruments
-Caveat Lector- someone with little activism experience but with extensive experience oflatin american countries told me a few weeks ago that iran-contra had alot to do with Nestle, Folgers, and Texas Instruments...following up on this i got an amazing number of connections to theanti-iraq lobby and the SDI lobby...i.e. connections to rumsfield,wolfowitz, and perlefurther, i had already learned that the first thing hit in the 1991 gulfwar was iraq's rail launcher...a magnetic rail used to propel objects toa high rate of speed AFTER which a rocket's propulsion is ignited...thiscould be used to bomb israel or to launch satellites into space at anenormous rate...in other words, if the right nations got together andprovided the satellite technology (russia, EU, japan etc...) this raillauncher COULD be used to challenge American communications superiorityin a short time (it is RE-USABLE)...add to this the fact that there is aring around china of fighting going on (nepal, the koreas, japan,afghanistan, etc..) and that pakistani official sources contend thatchina is working on a rail launcher WITH pakistan and global eventsbegin to take on a different hueso we have satellites and the SDI lobby (much about satellites)further, i contend that the SDI money over the past 20 years has beenused for technologies related to those PURPORTED, but a littledifferent...add this to the mix: on september 11, 2001 NASA's communicationssatellites were disrupted...a hack?were instructions beamed to the global hawk technologies installed onall passenger aircraft?plug satellites into all of the above topics and patterns emergelinking, EXTRAORDINARILY, rumsfield, wolfowitz, perle, andiran-contra...hplease seehttp://www.astronautix.com/lvfam/gunnched.htm ~the following would seem to implicate china in potentially hacking U.S. satellites in a cyberwar that reached a crescendo in the early days of september, 2001...however, since most of the material relies upon Wired magazine, which from personal DIRECT experience, is a highly compromised, CFR-infiltrated 'news' source, it is easy to surmise that the U.S. tested the first strike capability of SDI on ITSELF on that dayrail launchers, the small plane evidence, communications satellites,september 11, and unmanned aircrart~i may go down for this but then again, i am just some unemployed nut -easily discredited~The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Center, which is based in South Korea,itemizes various technologies having to do with its specialty (unmannedvehicles) by nation. The list shows that Iran has experimented withrail launch of unmanned aircraft. Unmanned aircraft figure prominentlyin the most critical of 9-11 theories.A page of their website is intriguing.See:http://www.uavcenter.com/menu11a.asp ~INDIA--the following is snipped fromhttp://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/india/missile/agni-improvements.htm In 1998, prior to the election of the conservative BJP coalition intooffice, the parliamentary standing committee on defence issued a thickreport asking the government to go ahead full steam to develop theentire range of missiles after reports that Pakistan had positionedtheir missiles targeting Indian cities and that China was developing anumber of missile systems which could target any part of the country.~snip~In April 1999, the BJP coalition approved the first test of the newAgni-II Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM), and the governmentalso approved calls for a 59 percent budgetary boost for the Departmentof Atomic Energy and a 62 percent increase for the Department of Space.The DAE oversees the Bhabha Atomic Research Center, which is responsiblefor warhead design, production, and fabrication, while the Indian SpaceResearch Organization (ISRO) is closely integrated with Indias militaryballistic missile programs.~that would probably be because of the satellite connection - raillaunchers anyone?~~ya know...when growing up i learned something (about 20 years ago)about a missile launch system that used rails..it was said that railsmade launchers more mobile and that because of the fact that they werenot stationary, they were less easily targeted - i think that was asmokescreen: i think that what i heard about was the very kind of raillaunchers that i am discussing here: asia threatens to catch up...whywould this be such a secret? because the populace at large must notbecome aware that it is communications technologies, not bombs, that rigthe international hierarchy...something world powers can all agree uponit seems...oh yeah - by the way, mewonders if this isn't why we build aring around china, after pretending to court pakistan: was that dronethat hit the pentagon, that very dark plane that was about 2/3 the sizeof a 757, launched by a rail?~The Agni-II incorporates a far more accurate terminal navigation andguidance system which constantly updates information about the missileflight

[CTRL] Afghan War Faltering, Military Leader Says
-Caveat Lector- Myers is thoroughly guilty for 9-11 - caveat lector copied fromhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25588-2002Nov7.htmlAfghan War Faltering, Military Leader Says Myers Cites Al Qaeda's Ability to AdaptBy Thomas E. Ricks and Vernon LoebWashington Post Staff WritersFriday, November 8, 2002; Page A01 The U.S. military is losing momentum in the war on terrorism in Afghanistan because the remnants of al Qaeda and the Taliban have proven more successful in adapting to U.S. tactics than the U.S. military has to theirs, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said this week.Gen. Richard B. Myers also said there is a debate taking place within the Pentagon about whether the United States needs to change its priorities in Afghanistan and de-emphasize military operations in favor of more support for reconstruction efforts. "I think in a sense we've lost a little momentum there, to be frank," Myers said in after-dinner comments Monday night at the Brookings Institution. "They've made lots of adaptations to our tactics, and we've got to continue to think and try to out-think them and to be faster at it."Myers, the nation's top military officer, suggested it may be time for the military to "flip" its priorities from combat operations aimed at hunting down al Qaeda and Taliban fighters to "the reconstruction piece in Afghanistan," a notable shift in priorities for an a Pentagon that has eschewed nation-building exercises.The CIA, in a recently released assessment, called security "most precarious in smaller cities and some rural locations" and said: "Reconstruction may be the single most important factor in increasing security throughout Afghanistan and preventing it from again becoming a haven for terrorists."Afghan President Hamid Karzai recently launched an anti-corruption campaign aimed at cracking down on provincial leaders who continue to challenge the authority of the country's central government.Myers issued his call for faster and more flexible approaches in the counterterrorism war a day after the United States conducted its first-ever airstrike in Yemen, using an unmanned aircraft to do it. A CIA-operated Predator drone on Sunday attacked a vehicle believed to be carrying six al Qaeda members with Hellfire missiles, obliterating the vehicle and its passengers. Yemeni authorities said among the passengers was Abu Ali al-Harithi, a senior al Qaeda leader and one of the terrorist network's top figures in Yemen.Andrew F. Krepinevich Jr., a retired Army colonel and Pentagon consultant who directs the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, said Monday's attack in Yemen cannot mask the continuing instability in Afghanistan and the lack of strong counterterrorism relationships between the United States and countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.Wayne A. Downing, a retired Army general who until June served as the White House special adviser on combating terrorism, disagreed, saying that the United States has matched al Qaeda in adjusting its operations. "Getting this guy in Yemen was huge -- and a significant escalation in a different place," he said.Downing said he expects the military to play a smaller role in the war on terrorism, with diplomacy and intelligence cooperation becoming more important. He also predicted that actions like the one in Yemen will be more characteristic of the campaign.Ivo H. Daalder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, called a shift in priorities by the military in Afghanistan away from pursuing al Qaeda and toward reconstruction "noteworthy and extremely important." But Daalder said he doubted whether Myers or Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld would commit U.S. forces to "tackling the fundamental security problem in Afghanistan, which is not al Qaeda, but a byproduct of the way we fought -- arming the warlords.""What needs to be done is to take away the power of the warlords and give it to the central government, and that requires real military force," Daalder said. "Are we prepared to take on the very guys we empowered? I don't see any evidence that is the case."In his remarks at Brookings, Myers said al Qaeda has proven to be an agile adversary, adapting its electronic communications to prevent intercepts and securing the way it passes money. His comments, released by Brookings on Wednesday, reflect a concern that many senior U.S. officials have expressed privately in recent months that the military establishment has been too slow to adapt in its response to the al Qaeda threat, both in its special operations tactics and its weapons procurement.One official close to Rumsfeld said this week that, in his view, the military still is largely geared to changing at the glacial pace of the Cold War, during which shifts in military doctrine and weaponry in the Soviet Union occurred generationally. Al Qaeda and its allies have shown "an ability to change by the month," the official said.A detailed analysis just released by the U.S. Army War Co

The resolution requires Iraq tohave issued by early December, "a full, accurate and complete" declarationof all its programs to develop and deliver weapons of mass destruction, aswell as civilian materials that could have military applications."The Permanent Five (P5) members of the Security Council have between themsomewhere in the vicinity of 35,000 nuclear weapons and unknown arsenalsof chemical and biological weapons," said Dimity Hawkins, FoEA spokespersonthis morning. "We ask that the P5 lead by example and declare to the worldin full, accurate and complete terms all programs existing within theirnations which rely on weapons of mass destruction."In the wake of the adoption of Resolution 1441, peace groups both inAustralia and internationally express concern that this will be a precursorto war against the Iraqi nation, and would lead to military strikes in linewith the US agenda for a "regime change" in Iraq.The resolution outlines a program of work for the weapons inspector teams,but the US President George Bush still declares that Iraq could face the"severest consequences" of a US-led military strike if authorities therefail to completely comply with the demands of the resolution.
