Shuttle :.When this thing launched, I crossed my fingers, hoping nothing would happen because I knew there was an Israeli on board. I never thought something would happen upon re-entry. Who knows what happened to this thing? None of us ever will, probably. Alex Jones is calling it an obvious PSYOP, but he doesn't have any tangible proof. I'd go as far as to say that it does seem really odd, but that's about it. I have nothing else to go on. Analysis note from Alex Jones:
Three weeks ago, on my syndicated radio show, I said that there was a very good chance that the globalists would do something horrible concerning the latest Colombia mission. Understand, the psychological warfare technicians do not even need to publicly blame Iraq for the Columbia disaster. It will serve as a distraction in the global press during the final weeks of war preparation in the gulf. It will serve the dual purpose of unifying the country behind President Bush as he grandstands, talking about how horrible the death of the astronauts has been.Update: Photos Show Odd Images Near ShuttleA San Francisco amateur astronomer who photographs the space shuttles whenever their orbits carry them over the Bay Area has captured five strange and provocative images of the shuttle Columbia just as it was re-entering the Earth's atmosphere before dawn Saturday.
The pictures, taken with a Nikon 8 camera on a tripod, reveal what appear to be bright electrical phenomena flashing around the track of the shuttle's passage, but the photographer, who asked not to be identified, will not make them public immediately.
"They clearly record an electrical discharge like a lightning bolt flashing past, and I was snapping the pictures almost exactly . . . when the Columbia may have begun breaking up during re-entry," he said.

Potential Use of Nuclear Weapons in Iraq :.If you back an animal into a corner, there is no way to know what that thing might do. That's what the U.S. is doing to Saddam Hussein: A classified document signed by President Bush specifically allows for the use of nuclear weapons in response to biological or chemical attacks, apparently changing a decades-old U.S. policy of deliberate ambiguity, it was learned by The Washington Times.

Lighting the Fuse :.U.S. and or Israeli special forces could launch a SCUD and make it look like Saddam is going on the warpath: U.S. intelligence agencies are closely monitoring Iraq's military forces and the ruling Ba'ath party in Baghdad. Spy agencies are looking carefully for signs that Saddam Hussein will start a pre-emptive attack before U.S. military forces can complete their buildup in the region.
"We suspect he will try to do something," one defense official told us.
So far, Iraqi military movements have been limited to some troop deployments that are not considered unusual. Intelligence reports indicate Iraqi forces recently discussed plans for building up defenses, either through trenches or barriers around key facilities.
Potential pre-emptive attacks could include missile attacks on Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, where U.S. forces are deployed. Iraq is believed to have up to 50 Scud missiles that could be outfitted with chemical or biological warheads.

"Shock & Awe" :.If the U.S. does this thing, it's Miller Time. The karma from this will whack America back so hard it will make 9/11 look like a boyscout exercise: Forget Osama. Forget Saddam. The Pentagon's newest target is the city of Baghdad.
U.S. military strategists have announced a plan to pummel Iraq with as many as 800 cruise missiles in the space of two days. Many of these missiles would rain down on Baghdad, a city of five million people. If George W. Bush gets the war he wants, Baghdad could become the 21st century's Guernica.
On April 26, 1937, 25 Nazi bombers dropped 100,000 pounds of bombs and incendiaries on the peaceful Basque village. Seventy percent of the town was destroyed and 1,500 people, a third of the population, were killed.
The Pentagon now predicts that the Iraq blitzkrieg could approximate the devastation of a nuclear explosion. "The sheer size of this has never been ... contemplated before," one Pentagon strategist boasted to CBS News. "There will not be a safe place in Baghdad."
The Pentagon dubbed its cold-blooded attack plan "Shock and Awe," a bizarre conjunction of trauma and admiration. Related: Shock and Awe: Achieving Rapid Dominancewritten by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade Do you think their wives get together and compare notes on, well, you know? Related: Shock & Awe: Is Baghdad the Next Hiroshima?Have your heard of Harlan Ullman? Everyone in the White House and the Pentagon has. They may very well follow his plan for war in Iraq. He wants to do to Baghdad what we did to Hiroshima.Research Credit: ST, for all of the links in this entry.

From Thought to Thoughtless Stupor :.Oblivion, it's lovely this time of year: Mass entertainment focusing on emotional and sensory stimulation has put Americans in danger of suffering the fate of the Romans, who entertained themselves into oblivion.
The Roman satirist Juvenal, writing in the first century AD, lamented that "the people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions, and all else, now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things � bread and circuses." Juvenal had the misfortune of living in a time when the civic virtues of the early Roman republic were a distant memory, when the moral dry rot, which eventually destroyed Rome from within, was already far advanced. Juvenal saw that the Roman citizenry had become so addicted to entertainment and pleasure that they had lost the capability of governing themselves. Juvenal�s scornful term "panem et circenses" � bread and circuses � has become synonymous with mindless self-gratification.
Closer to our own time, novelist and futurist Aldous Huxley foresaw a "brave new world" where religious and moral restraints have been completely abandoned, in which the masses are kept in a permanent stupor with recreational drugs, carnal pleasures, and mindless entertainment. Huxley�s novel is not so well known or gracefully written as Orwell�s 1984. But with the benefit of decades of hindsight, we would do well to ponder whether Huxley�s predictions, and not Orwell�s, were closer to the mark.
What Huxley understood more acutely than Orwell is that it is easier to enslave a people by seduction than by coercion. In the words of social critic Neil Postman, "what Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.... As Huxley remarked..., the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny �failed to take into account man�s almost infinite appetite for distractions.� In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure."Research Credit: TR

Cryptogon Contributor TR Responds to Them Author Mentioned on CNN :.From the CNN piece: The Middle Ages had the Knights Templar. The 18th century had the Masons and the Illuminati.
Our modern age has golf-playing businessmen and 12-foot lizard-men. Or so Jon Ronson was led to believe.
Ronson, a 35-year-old British writer, humorist and documentarian, kept reading and hearing about the "tiny elite[that] rules the world from inside a secret room" -- so he decided to go in search of it.
They may not be the cackling puppet masters the extremists imagine, as Ronson found out when he spoke to a Bilderberg invitee -- "I don't want to rule the world," Ronson was told, "I like to do the gardening and play Scrabble and have sex" -- but they do try to exercise influence, and hope their ideas become policy.TR writes (HAHAHA! This is great!): Well, Mr. Ronson, it works kind of like this: Whenever you leave your 450 square foot bachelor pad, hop in your used Volvo and meet with a billionaire to ask him if he is exploiting people, I'll bet the answer you'll get is "I don't want to rule the world, I like to do the gardening and play Scrabble and have sex." For you see, Mr. Ronson, the billionaire does not "try" to rule the world. When you have a billion dollars in assets, when you are routinely invited to presidential political fund-raisers, when you can hire an army of lawyers and congressional lobbyists, you cannot "help" but rule the world. For the world is, was, and probably always will be, ruled by money--and those who have it rule. The problem is this money is concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. Thus the group who can exert financial power is getting smaller and smaller everyday. The only thing this group really needs is some dupe to come along and spin them to the general public like some regular guys that only want to "do the gardening and play Scrabble and have sex." You see, that way they can do that, while we work our asses off at 80-hour a week jobs and give the money to them. Think about that as you drive back to your tenement building.

Pig Toys or Jail :.Every once in a while, I come across a story so far out there that I have to say that it's one for the I-Shit-You-Not file. Well, here's one for the I-Pig-Shit-You-Not file: FARMERS throughout the country have 90 days to put a toy in every pigsty or face up to three months in jail.
The new ruling from Brussels, which is to become law in Britain next week, is to keep pigs happy and prevent them chewing each other.
Official instructions to farmers are to give pigs �environmental enrichment� by providing �manipulable material�, which the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs last night defined as balls.
A spokesman said: �We mean footballs and basketballs. Farmers may also need to change the balls so the pigs don�t get tired with the same one. Different colour ones will do. These rules are based on good welfare. We don�t want to come across as the nanny state, but the important thing is to see pigs happy in their environment and they like to forage with their noses.�Research Credit: TR

Japan 'Loses' 206kg of Plutonium :.Japan on Tuesday admitted that 206kg of its plutonium - enough to make about 25 nuclear bombs - is unaccounted for.
Government scientists said that 6,890kg of plutonium had been extracted since 1977 from spent nuclear fuel at a processing plant about 120km north east of Tokyo. But that is 3 per cent short of the amount the plant was estimated to have produced.
About 5kg to 8kg of plutonium are needed to make a 20-kiloton atomic bomb similar to the one that destroyed Nagasaki in 1945.
Experts said the missing amount was surprisingly large.Related: U.S. Lost More Than 7,400 Pounds of PlutoniumHey, Israel needed nukes too: According to the Energy Department's own figures, the country's nuclear facilities have lost track of more than 5,000 pounds -- two and a half tons -- of plutonium, and at the Rocky Flats weapons factory near Denver alone, officials acknowledge to Newsweek, some 2,400 pounds of plutonium is unaccounted for.Research Credit: BW

On the Road to Basra :.I don't have the energy to keep up with all of the stuff coming out. I think anyone who is capable of seeing what's happening gets the point. If you're new to this site, just check out some of the archives, and you'll see what I mean. I'll continue to post items I find unusually interesting, intense or grimly humorous. I'm shifting my energy into figuring out how I'm going to buy some land far away from where I'm sitting right now. On the road to Basra, ITV was filming wild dogs as they tore at the corpses of the Iraqi dead. Every few seconds a ravenous beast would rip off a decaying arm and make off with it over the desert in front of us, dead fingers trailing through the sand, the remains of the burned military sleeve flapping in the wind.
�Just for the record,� the cameraman said to me. Of course. Because ITV would never show such footage. The things we see � the filth and obscenity of corpses � cannot be shown. First because it is not �appropriate� to depict such reality on breakfast-time TV. Second because, if what we saw was shown on television, no one would ever again agree to support a war.

SQL Slammer WormCryptogon became unreachable at about 10PM PST on Friday 1/24/02. I also noticed that my DNS lookups were very slow. I didn't think too much of it at first. Later that night, Cryptogon was still down. I decided to call the 24 hour support number for the webhost. They said, "Our primary and secondary OC-3s are down. Two different ISPs." I said, "Whhhhaaaaat?" "Yeah, they both said they have taken their backbones down. We have no ETA on when they'll be back up." I immediately started to think that something was very wrong. I checked global packet loss and reachability averages and, WOW, something was wrong alright. Here are the charts from the height of the SQL Slammer attack. Now, the reason I'm mentioning this is because it relates to an essay I wrote months ago on information warfare. In Cyberwar: How Terrorists Could Defeat the U.S. and Why They Won't (requires Acrobat 5), I wrote that if terrorists, or anyone else, were interested in REALLY hurting the U.S., they wouldn't fly planes into tall buildings, but rather attack the information infrastructure that U.S. corporations use to move money. The key component of my essay was that a crippling attack could be carried out by using unsophisticated physical and EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) attacks on fiber optic circuits, switches, routers and servers. The physical attacks would coincide with various cyber based attacks (such as SQL Slammer) running on the nodes left standing. Global packet loss for the Web reached 22% with just the SQL Slammer worm in operation. Here's the thing to remember: THERE WERE NO CUT FIBER LINKS OR POPPED CORE ROUTERS! When I first released my cyberwar essay, some readers thought I was overstating the importance of the Internet in our daily lives. This SQL Slammer incident, with no physical attack component, shows that, if anything, I understated things. Imagine something like SQL Slammer running in conjunction with physical attacks on fiber and other network infrastructure: Bank of America ATMs Disrupted by VirusBank of America Corp. said on Saturday that customers at a majority of its 13,000 automatic teller machines were unable to process customer transactions after a malicious computer worm nearly froze Internet traffic worldwide.
Bank of America spokeswoman Lisa Gagnon said by phone from the company's headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, that many, if not a majority of the No. 3 U.S. bank's ATMs were back online and that their automated banking network would recover by late Saturday.
Web traffic slowed suddenly and dramatically worldwide for hours after a fast-spreading computer worm clogged pipelines of the global network carrying data, Web pages and e-mail, officials said.
"We have been impacted, and for a while customers could not use ATMs and customer services could not access customer information," Gagnon said.Related: ATMs, ISPs Hit by Slammer Worm SpreadIn the essay, I said that I didn't believe that the unthinkable scenario of a physical/cyber infowar attack would occur because that would seriously threaten the economic base of the United States. Since I believe the "terrorists" are actually CIA assets, they wouldn't do anything to bite the hand that feeds them. But with all intel assets, there is the chance that they will decide to do their own show regardless of what the script says. (This may have been the case with 9/11, but I doubt it. I think that thing went off according to a carefully devised plan.) But if the U.S. starts actually turning the screws on the rest of the world, the enemies we create CAN cause very serious damage to the U.S. via the information infrastructure vector. NOTE: Perhaps the initial SQL Slammer phase was simply intended to recruit "zombie" systems that may now be targeted for DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack purposes. All of those compromised systems may "phone home" at some point to take orders from the operator who let that thing loose in the first place. The Micro$oft patch will fix the vulnerability, but how trustworthy are those hAx0rEd boxes now? Did SQL Slammer install any Easter Eggs that the admins aren't yet aware of? Human readable version: We may not have seen the end of SQL Slammer. This entry started out as premium content. If you found it informative, you should tip Cryptogon a buck or two, if you haven't already.

The Nuclear Option in Iraq :.End Days: One year after President Bush labeled Iraq, Iran and North Korea the "axis of evil," the United States is thinking about the unthinkable: It is preparing for the possible use of nuclear weapons against Iraq.
At the U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) in Omaha and inside planning cells of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, target lists are being scrutinized, options are being pondered and procedures are being tested to give nuclear armaments a role in the new U.S. doctrine of "preemption."
According to multiple sources close to the process, the current planning focuses on two possible roles for nuclear weapons:
attacking Iraqi facilities located so deep underground that they might be impervious to conventional explosives;
thwarting Iraq's use of weapons of mass destruction.Related: Iraq Equipping Troops For Chem/Bio WarfareIraq acknowledged on Sunday it had equipped its troops with protective suits against chemical and biological attack for use if such weapons were employed by the United States and its allies.
Opponents of Saddam Hussein have said equipping troops with protective gear for chemical and biological warfare could be a sign the Iraqi president might use such weapons if attacked.
Washington has warned it would punish any soldier or general who ordered the use of chemical or biological weapons in the event of a war.
But Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz told Britain's Channel 4 television the suits were "part of our preparations for the aggression. And any army you see, any modern army, does have clothes and masks for chemical and biological weapons."
"We are doing that to protect ourselves from the other side," he said.
Asked by the interviewer whether he could guarantee "no first use" of chemical or biological weapons, Aziz answered quickly: "Yes. Because we don't have them."

Seems Like Something Is About to SnapBack in December, this site indicated that the beginning of the U.S. war for the conquest of Iraq would occur at the end of January to the Beginning of February. The rhetoric and events of the previous few days seems to both confirm and refute that analysis. I was about to post an entry saying that I think I got it wrong by about a few weeks. BUT, weird stuff has started to happen over the past several hours. It's getting impossible to tell what is happening, which leads me to believe something big could be imminent: State Department Issues Warning to All Americans AbroadThis is the first time in history that such a warning has been issued: The State Department sent a cable to embassies around the world on Friday telling Americans abroad to be ready to leave their resident country quickly in an emergency, its first such blanket warning.
A senior State Department official made no comment when asked if the cable was related to a possible military campaign against Iraq, which Washington has threatened with war if it fails to give up its suspected weapons of mass destruction.
The message to U.S. citizens advises them to have a supply of prescription medicines on hand, keep their passports up to date and maintain adequate stocks of food in the event of political unrest, natural disasters or "terrorist" attacks.
"The Department is asking all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide to send a warden message to local American communities with advice on preparedness for an emergency," said State Department spokeswoman Susan Pittman.
U.S. embassies often send such "warden messages" to update Americans abroad on threats and to offer advice on protecting themselves, but the State Department said "this is the first time it has recommended posts issue a warden message regarding the personal preparedness of individual American citizens abroad."More... U.S. Plans Unimaginable Missile Blitzkrieg on IraqIf the U.S. does this, Iraqi civilian losses could easily run into the hundreds of thousands. The primary blasts from the weapons will kill many, but the secondary explosions and fires could turn all of Baghdad into a raging inferno. Also, consider that by lighting off 800 Tomahawk missiles in 48 hours, the U.S. government will incinerate about 1 billion dollars worth of taxpayer money. (Hey, the U.S. brand of genocide isn't cheap.) The time table for this nightmarish plan is sometime in March. But is it really that far off? And will this even be the plan? Obviously, this story could be pure PSYOPS. If so, the goal must be to cause elements of the Iraqi military to flinch and switch sides: The battle plan is based on a concept developed at the National Defense University. It's called "Shock and Awe" and it focuses on the psychological destruction of the enemy's will to fight rather than the physical destruction of his military forces.
"We want them to quit. We want them not to fight," says Harlan Ullman, one of the authors of the Shock and Awe concept which relies on large numbers of precision guided weapons.
"So that you have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes," says Ullman.More... Japan Tells Its Citizens in Iraq: Get Out NowThe Japanese government Friday urged all Japanese citizens to leave Iraq as soon as possible because of a possible U.S.-led strike on Saddam Hussein.More... Mike Ruppert Seems to Think It's Coming Down Very SoonI just got this urgent flash from Mike Ruppert's list. Maybe the End-Of-January-Beginning-Of-February theory will prove to be correct after all: FTW URGENT BULLETIN
Serious international developments are indicating that the first stages of the U.S. invasion of Iraq will begin unilaterally no later than next Wednesday and most likely as the President delivers his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday night.Some sources are indicating Bush will use to State of the Union speech to issue some sort of deadline. I don't think the U.S. will issue a deadline because then Saddam will be able to wire up his oil wells to blow the day before. My guess is that the U.S. will be saying one thing, and then do the exact opposite, in order to have a better chance of securing the oil wells. Of course, that's just a guess. In any event, after the Stupor Bowl is over, and with the national economic collapse continuing, the public will soon be ready for yet another dazzling circus. I have no doubt that one will be provided. Unfortunately, the cost of the next one will be tens to hundreds of thousands of people dead, at a minimum, with the potential to touch off World War III. Oh yeah, cross fingers for no terrorist incidents at the Stupor Bowl.

 Fatal
Harvest: The Tragedy of Industrial Agriculture by Andrew Kimbrell
Readers will come to see
that industrial food production is indeed a "fatal harvest"
- fatal to consumers, as pesticide residues and new disease vectors
such as E. coli and "mad cow disease" find their way
into our food supply; fatal to our landscapes, as chemical runoff
from factory farms poison our rivers and groundwater; fatal to
genetic diversity, as farmers rely increasingly on high-yield
monocultures and genetically engineered crops; and fatal to our
farm communities, which are wiped out by huge corporate
farms.

Fascism: The New Face of Power in America by Bertram Myron Gross
This is a relatively
short but extremely cogent and well-argued treatise on the rise
of a form of fascistic thought and social politics in late 20th
century America. Author Bertram Gross' thesis is quite straightforward;
the power elite that comprises the corporate, governmental and
military superstructure of the country is increasingly inclined
to employ every element in their formidable arsenal of 'friendly
persuasion' to win the hearts and minds of ordinary Americans
through what Gross refers to as friendly fascism.

 Silent
Theft: The Private Plunder of Our Common Wealth by David Bollierd
In Silent Theft, David Bollier
argues that a great untold story of our time is the staggering
privatization and abuse of our common wealth. Corporations are
engaged in a relentless plunder of dozens of resources that we
collectively own—publicly funded medical breakthroughs,
software innovation, the airwaves, the public domain of creative
works, and even the DNA of plants, animals and humans. Too often,
however, our government turns a blind eye—or sometimes helps
give away our assets. Amazingly,
the silent theft of our shared wealth has gone largely unnoticed
because we have lost our ability to see the commons.
