Bull the projectile designer who you made mention of was in a country
designing a weapon of mass destruction to lobe projectiles into Israel
This was the expressed purpose and the nation was by their own admission
in a state of war with Israel. You are obviously saying that death was
not a clear cut act well within the acts allowed in the Geneva Convention
and any other treaties covering war thaT I know of. I would like to know
your rationale to suggest that death was not within any rule of war and
law that I know of.
You seem to be saying that an all out military attack would have
been preferred under your "rules of engagement." If I am reading your
letter wrong, please correct.

===================================
Hi Marv!
Thanks as always for your comments.
What I was saying is that in my opinion, Bull was NOT a legitimate target
of Israeli assassins. It's been a long time; I don't remember the details;
but I don't recall that he was killed in Iraq. I thought it was Paris,
actually.
And yes, an "all out military engagement" might well be more legitimate
than assassinating one person -- that happens.

Obviously I do not have the credentials Mike Orton does. I am a
metallurgical engineer.
The DU was machined in the Phila Naval Frankford Arsenal before
it became an industrial park. The room that DU was machined has been
cleaned up 3 times according to my researches. It could be more. If you
are planning to get a study on DU going, please include the Frankford
arsenal in Phila.and the machinists who worked there.

Subject: [y2k-nuclear] The proliferation issue.
To: "Russell D. Hoffman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To Russell Hoffman.
Thanks for your reply.
Though I disagree with you on many thinks, I do think that we have a lot in
common.
Modern technology has placed weapons of mass destruction in the hands of
almost everybody. As Einstein said:"The idiot son has found the box of
matches!"
The world lives under an NCBW threat, and if anything the non nuclear
components are much more frightening than the nuclear elements. But even
the Nuclear element has become more available.
I have two books in my extensive private library. "The Manhattan Project,
by Stephan Groueff, and "The Invisible Bomb" by Frank Barnarby. The first
shows the huge amount of effort needed by the USA in 44/45, the second
deals with Vanunu's details of Dimona. The "miniaturisation" between the
two dates, mid 40's to the mid 60's is remarkable.
And there is my personal experience. In the 60's I used STRETCH and ATLAS
super computers. I think the US had about a dozen of them for their H-bomb
project. Yet in the late 80's I bought my first PC that was much more
powerful. Last Christmas, we had a Christmas fair in the village where I
live. There was a computer that didn't sell at any price, 50p would have
been accepted. Yet it was so so much powerful that Atlas (now in the
science museum). By this time next year the 1G Hz PC with 128 Meg ram will
be common in ordinary private houses. Yet this is a 1980's supercomputer! A
PC Fortran compiler is out of this world compared with FORTRAN-2 on Atlas.
Then there is "Mining with Microbes" a well publicised (UK New Scientist)
method of removing Uranium from phosphate or other lean ores of Uranium.
Then there is Laser separation, see Barnarby's book and "Two Minutes over
Baghdad" on how this reduces the size of Capenhurst to a desk sized plant
in a small factory building.
As to how to make bombs, my local library, and I live in a small village in
rural Wales, has a book "Tomorrow's Weapons" that gives details of the
construction of A, H & Neutron weapons. Stuff that would be classified as
Secret, Atomic Principal if in official documents.
Even worse is CW. All you need is a small factory. Most countries in the
Middle East have one "Pesticide" or "Pharmaceutical"
plant, Lybia has a huge complex at Rabta that even looks big on commercial
satellite pics!
Many countries now either import are copy rockets, Scuds or better. North
Korea, on the verge of starvation, exports rockets and has a large nuclear
project. Even the Iraqi "diplomatic compound" in Sudan has "factories" and
we had a TV program showing the delivery of "Humanitarian Aid" there by an
Iraqi Antonov, that looked very much like a Scud on a transported" "Let
them eat Scuds!!!" Also shown were a group of V-1 type flying bombs with
props rather than ram-jet also made there.
BW is even worse. Its not a factory job, rather a portacabin lab at the
back of a Hospital path lab or University.
What is even worse is that there are now groups that have jumped straight
from the pages of a James Bond Novel. The Aum Shrinko in Japan who tried a
Sarin gas attack on their own people, and Ossima bin Laden, who it appears
from the papers and TV is planning more attacks on US, Israeli and possibly
UK targets around the world. There are references to both FBI and CIA
advisories in the media here today.
The consequences of such actions could be much greater than Y2k glitches at
reactors.
So we have the problem of the unlimited proliferation of nuclear Weapons,
the utter failure of IAEA safeguards, and new technology in computing,
biotechnology and lasers making for small compact hide able plants.
Dimona is smaller in area than the Admin building plus the Sports and
social complex plus the canteen and medical block at AWRE Aldermaston, and
it does the work of Sellafield (Windscale) and Capenhurst too! (From
satellite pics and a UK 2.5" map of the Reading area! )
CW plants can be run by groups (Aum in Japan)
BW can almost be carried out at a "hobby" level in a suitably designed back
room!
Like you I have misgivings about the future, but is this not what has been
written about thousand's of years ago in the Jewish scriptures? (The
Christian OT in a different order!)
A few nights ago on UK TV we had real pictures from Afghanistan. It was just
like from the movie "Planet of the Apes" Medieval Warriors on horseback,
but they carried AK's and RPG-7's. We had an ex-CIA man on TV. He had a
wooden bowl in his hand. He said that this was the standard technology of
the natives in some country, forget which, yet they had brought down a US
helicopter with a Chinese copy of a US stinger missile!
We live in a very dangerous world, likely to get worse in the next century
(next week).
Somehow the alleged hazards of DU, and I have handled large lumps of it
and have a small piece of Natural Uranium at home in a glass jar! seem to
be under whelming in comparison.
However you are doing a good job in alerting the "e-chattering classes" to
the dark side of nuclear technology.
This is my main point against the development of nuclear technology in the
third world. Once they have sufficient nuclear scientists, scientific
infrastructure, PC's etc, a hidden weapons program becomes a cheap and
attractive possibility.
I am only for countries who already have nuclear weapons having power
stations.
Though it is true that its not easy to get WG Pu from a power reactor, you
can separate out the Pu-239 later by laser (AVLIS) or even diffusion, as
has been done in the US according to one of the Y2k-nuclear postings!
And the arguments FOR a nuclear program are overwhelming. Take Israel. It
is surrounded with 200 million hostile or potentially hostile Muslims.
Almost any country could be taken over by Talliband type groups. Combined
they have 17,500 tanks, 2,500 jets and over 10 million armed troops.
Israel's only possible defence against such a Jihad would be to use its
250+ nuclear weapons.
This is the only way it could hope to throw such a horde back (with 2/3
casualties at least).
Several years ago I was speaking to the then junior minister at the Foreign
Office.
"Peace will come to the Middle East", I told him, when the Arabs come to
realize that there is a terrible price to pay for a Jew Free Palestine, an
Arab free radioactive desert!"
The first Israeli bomb is purported to have had "Never Again" welded to its
case in Ivrit.
It is worth considering if Hitler, mad as he was, would have sacrificed
2/3's of his population to pursue the Final Solution!

----- END OF RESPONSE FROM MIKE ORTON -----
----- MY RESPONSE TO MIKE ORTON: -----
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your letter. Yes, computers are far more powerful now than
before. Their speed has increased by more than one hundred times (two
orders of magnitude) since I entered the business myself, two decades
ago. And yes, I'm sure that just about anyone who can get hold of the
nuclear material needed, can build a nuclear bomb (having found the
instructions on the Internet) -- anyone, that is, with the exception of
myself, because when I'm finished, just about everything electronic or
electro-mechanical which I've ever built either smokes, or shocks me, or
doesn't work (that's why I'm a computer programmer instead).
All this is true. But what does any of this say about the quantity of
nuclear weapons necessary to defend oneself? And what does it say about
the consequences of using a nuclear weapon? Israel is a small country, and
certainly it has one main city -- the obvious target, shall we say? --
Jerusalem. But who would blow up Jerusalem? Multiple religions claim it
-- they are unlikely to blow it up and irradiate it for millennia.
Nuclear war is a game which cannot be won, and nuclear weapons are a card
which must not be played. I repeat that what prevented nuclear destruction
the past 60 years was sufficiently intelligent people ON BOTH SIDES who
recognized the madness of such a holocaust, NOT the mere existence of
"Mutually Assured Destruction". I say that nuclear world war has thus far
been prevented IN SPITE of the increased risk posed by nuclear weapons, not
because of it!
I further say that heretofore, our weapons have not caused a nuclear war in
spite of human's decisions not to fight one. Y2K may be the end of that
"grace" period. Sooner or later, the train falls off the tracks. The
plane falls out of the sky. The truck driver falls asleep at the
wheel. The surgeon leaves a scalpel inside the patient. The singer's
voice goes flat. The comedian's jokes get boring. The race horse becomes
lame.
My local newspapers report that my local nuclear power plant, San Onofre,
plans to be fully operating. Not just 80%, but the full 100% of capacity,
which, the papers say, means that the computerized portion of the control
system needs to be used (humans cannot keep up with the
fluctuations). They assure us this all has been tested.
They tell us they will be watching South Korea especially early in the day,
because they have nukes built similar to ours. But they DON'T tell us how
severe a problem in South Korea would cause them to shut down the reactor,
something they assure us they can do in "seconds". Maybe so. But why
wait? We're told (incessantly; that is, in every article about the plant)
that it supplies "20%" of our electricity. Unmentioned is that we don't
need that 20% during the Y2K holiday!
Where is the precautionary principal in any of this?
Frankly, I don't see how your logic applies better to nuclear weapons than
to biological or chemical ones. What makes the nuclear option attractive
to you when you can see the unattractiveness of the others? As to "200
million potentially hostile Arabs" I would be willing to bet the vast
majority of the people you so describe, do NOT want war with Israel or
anyone else. I think your description of the dangers Israel faces is
exaggerated, which is certainly not to say Israel has no enemies, but she
has many friends as well, including everyone who is NOT prejudiced against
any person, for any reason, and everyone who respects life, and law, and
order. Israel's people are scattered throughout the world now, and
intermingled, and they could not be wiped out, as long as the world is free
to learn of the horrors that go on around it (long live the free Internet)
and as long as the world is willing to react to horror (forever, I
hope). Today, December 25th, 1999, I read that there is a slave trade
involving the Dinka people from the Sudan. Where is the war for those
people, with your Depleted Uranium wonder-bullets, and your nuclear
options? Who cares what happens there? Israel's needs are NOT unique --
there have been millions dead from holocausts since World War Two (which my
father, an American, and a Jew, fought in), and millions more occurred
before World War Two (and not to mention, Gypsies, gays, retarded people,
intellectuals and others, who were marched into the gas chambers hand in
hand with the Jews). Nuclear weapons are never going to be a rational and
workable solution to Israel's problems (or to America's). There are simply
too many innocent bystanders around the world and in the cities attacked,
who would be hurt by a nuclear attack. Furthermore, there would be too
great a risk of nuclear (not to mention chemical and biological) retaliation.
These problems are unsolvable, so why threaten such madness? It only gets
sane people angry, and rightly so.
As to Hitler's willingness to sacrifice his people, there is little doubt
he would have sacrificed 2/3rds of the population if they would have been
so stupid as to let him.

Russell Hoffman

That is sick. If thousands of lives may be saved by avoiding the rules of
engagement then I would avoid the rules of engagement. No international
treaty that I know of says that a nation may not protect itself . You
seem to be adding the proviso 'unless it is Israel.'
I am more than willing that Israel be held to higher standards
than the PanArabic League whose standard is the' end justifies the
means.,' I cannot agree that Israel must be held to a suicidal standard
that requires the deaths of both Arabs and Jews. and anyone else that
fits your rules of engagement.
Think about it. I do not believe that your are antiSemetic, but
Noam Chomsky is not the only voice in the universe. Check out Alan
Dershowitz, "Chutzpah" .
I have visited Israel. I talked to the children. They told me the
real nitty gritty. The Arab girls want Israel to stay. They get free
medical care and cannot be sold as chattel. The Arab and Palestinian men
and boys want Israel to stay. they have 50000 jobs in Israel for border
crossing Arabs which would disappear in a day if Jews left or Israel
failed. Probably more for Arabs who live in Israel and Palestinians who
cross over into Israel daily. There are Arabs who are Israel citizens and
volunteer for the Army Arabs may not be conscrited into the Army under
Israel Law.
I admit that I could only talk to Arab and Palestinian who spoke
English. They sure did not speak Yiddish and I do not speak ,but can
write Hebrew. I have also spoken to Arab entrpeneurs here in Phila. They
thought I was Christian, and spoke freely. Most Arabs want Israel to
stay. The Panarabic League consisits of about 11 anti Israel nations.
There are over 21 Muslim Arab nations. Most Muslim nations are neutral to
Israel and most Muslim Arab nations deal with Israel without bias.

Not at all, I'm saying that there are "rules of engagement" which prevent
the flinging of plague-infested bodies into cities, prevent the use of
biological/chemical weapons, etc.. These rules are really simply rules of
human decency. They should be obeyed. The assassination of leaders and
key personnel,and third-country industrialists, is certainly a topic for
its own conversation, which got us into this conversation. I don't think
Yamamoto should have been assassinated, either, during WWII. I'm not for
"taking out" Saddam either.

I haven't read much Chomsky, though I have always liked what I read, and
didn't know he was considered by anyone to be an anti-Semite. I also don't
know Alan Dershowitz's "Chutzpah", sorry. I certainly don't think I am an
anti-Semite. Israelis have a right to live, but no greater a right than
anyone else.
> I have visited Israel.
So has my wife, my father, my stepmother, various siblings -- my dad's
pictures of Jewish victims of the Holocaust which he took while fighting
the Nazis through Hitler's Germany hang now in a museum in Israel and can
also be seen in his book of his wartime experiences.

So you would have no limits whatsoever? THAT's sick! How many innocent
bystanders and children are you willing to kill as collateral damage to
allow Israel to survive?
I don't know what you are talking about. I am saying that when
your rules of engagement would mean more death and destruction, I will
not play your game. I said nothing about dropping the rules for Israel to
survive. I pointed out that your statements seemed to be saying that
rules of engagement must be heeded even when they cause greater death and
destruction than not heading them. Or in the alternative they must be
heeded to allow the destruction of Israel no matter what the cost in
lives.
I am asking if your rules of engagement are so sacred that they
must be heeded even when it means greater death and destruction of both
Arab and Jew. I support dropping the rules for Jew and Arab only to
reduce deaths! This is the attitude that I heard in Israel where Israelis
were reluctant to press on to Arab capitals because the total death toll
by Arab and Jew would be too high.
I have no compunction about assassinations if they truly reduce
the carnage esp to innocent civilians . My worry is that assassinations
look good in the media, and the effects are the opposite of what is
expected.
So what are you saying. That not all Arabs hate Jews and v. v.
Yes that is exactly what I am saying. Too often a few in power
lead the way to horror. The intermarriage rate in Bosnia before the
ethnic cleansing was 70% in cities. Milosevic was able to overcome even
the love in families.
Chomsky is Jewish. He cannot be anitSemitic by definition. He can
be an Uncle Wolf , the Jew hating Jew. Many people hate themselves. I
like Chomsky's facts which are well researched and interesting. I do not
appreciate his conclusory conclusions which do not follow from his facts.
My personal thanks to your father. I am grateful that you shared
his experience with me.

Hi!
Thanks for the letter. I suspect this would take hours and hours to
unravel, so please let's not try too hard (until after Y2K, anyway).
Assassinations as a means of diplomacy lead to more assassinations... That
doesn't work. A leader is a leader not because of who they are, but
because of what the people let them become. So assassinating the leaders
often leads to a Medusa situation.
Perhaps you remember when a lot of American activist leaders were
assassinated or disarmed in some other way -- forced to go underground, for
instance. I'm talking about the 60's of course.
I see nothing honorable in such solutions to problems.
Right now, isn't Israel glad it never assassinated Yassar Arafat? You talk
about trading these lives for those lives, and so many of these for so many
of those, but how can you be sure that assassinating a leader (or a
third-country's industrialist) necessarily results in saving lives? That's
just not such a "given" as you suggest it to be.
What are "rules of engagement"? Beats me, they change all the time. In
WWII it was generally considered OK to shoot parachutes if they were
landing on home territory and thus would be able to fight again, but most
pilots wouldn't do it anyway.
Yes, to some extent the "rules of engagement" must be heeded, even if it
means more deaths than if they aren't.
Anarchy is really not that easy to define. Society wants something called
"human decency" to exist, but in war, it often goes to hell in a
handbasket. How can Israeli leaders be so sure of themselves when they
authorize an assassination -- how can they be sure their cause is just and
the leader of the people they are planning to assassinate's cause it not
just -- or do you just assume Israel will always make the right decision so
whatever they decide is alright with you -- but you're a U.S. citizen,
aren't you? What if they decide to start assassinating anti-nuclear
activists in America, since after all, we might some day get enough power
to force them (God only knows how) to get rid of their "nuclear
deterrent". Where does it end?
FYI, I'm well aware of all the intermingling and intermarrying and so forth
that goes on amongst peoples who live in close proximity to each
other. I'm all for it.
Sincerely,
Russell
----- END OF MY RESPONSE -----
Marvin wrote back agreeing that we should worry about WASH and other
problems directly related to Y2K, rather than who has the right to
assassinate who, and what (if any) the political gains are from
assassination as a tool of war, which is merely a tool of politics. -- rdh

To learn about the absurd excuses NASA used to launch Cassini and its 72.3
pounds of plutonium in 1997, ask them for the 1995 Environmental Impact
Statement for the Cassini mission, and all subsequent documentation. At
the same time, be sure to ask them for ANY and ALL documentation available
on future uses of plutonium in space, including MILITARY, CIVILIAN, or
"OTHER" (just in case they make a new category somehow!). To get this
information, contact:
Cassini Public Information
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
4800 Oak Grove Drive
Pasadena CA 91109
(818) 354-5011 or (818) 354-6478
Here's NASA's "comments" email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Daniel Goldin is the head of NASA. Here's his email address:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here's the NASA URL to find additional addresses to submit written
questions to:
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/facts/HTML/FS-002-HQ.html
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT NASA IS DOING TO YOUR HEALTH.
NASA should never have been allowed to launch monstrosities like Cassini
and Galileo, but the next breed -- such as Europa Orbiter and Pluto-Kuiper
Express are not much better and the policy is being set for greatly
increased rates of missions! The danger continues! To complain to NASA
about their future nuclear space probes, here are two addresses you can use:
For Europa Orbiter:
"Europa Orbiter comments" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
For Pluto-Kuiper Express:
"Pluto-Kuiper Express comments" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Be sure to "cc" the president and VP and your senators and congresspeople, too.
Always include your full name and postal address in all correspondence to
any Government official of any country, because otherwise they will throw
it out unread, or hand it directly to their police force to try to identify
the author. (Thus, nothing good will come of it.) Also, ALWAYS include a
personal message of some sort, indicating YOUR OWN VIEWS, even if you
include a lot of material written by other people (me, for instance).

Note: Many of the issues presented by Russell Hoffman in this letter are
based on conversations with Dr. John W. Gofman (who isolated the first
working quantities of plutonium), the late Dr. Karl Z. Morgan (who was
known as the "father of health physics"), Dr. Ernest Sternglass (a noted
epidemiologist who has done statistical studies about LLR), Dr. Jay Gould
(ditto), Dr. Horst Poehler, Dr. Helen Caldicott, Dr. Ross Wilcock and
dozens of activists, as well as many others on both sides of the nuclear
debates, including ex military nuke expert Jack Shannon (responsible for
the design of the D2G Navy reactor, the most widely used reactor in the U.
S. navy), award-winning investigative reporter Karl Grossman, ecologist and
human rights advocate Pamela Blockey-O'Brien, etc. Also, I've read a few
dozen books on the various subjects. And scads of government documents
purporting to explain how something so dangerous can be
safe. Professionally, my pump training software is used throughout the
pump industry and even in some nuclear power plants around the world to
train their staff about mechanical pumps. Any errors herein are
regrettably my own, but I believe it would take an extremely unlikely
preponderance of errors to invalidate my basic position on these issues.
