I read
through this book during my lunch break today, sat in an unusually warm and
sunny Kensington park. An old man saw the cover with its bold title and rather
nice line drawing of Chamberlain. Neville Chamberlain? He said to
me with an accusing stare. What a wanker he was. I thought of
putting the book down and starting an argument about the realities of British
foreign policy before 1940. But lunch breaks for me are far too unusual for
wasting on argument with someone who would only start ranting about Saddam Hussein
and plastic shredders or whatever - and I get quite enough of that from the
Internet. So I smiled and carried on reading.

His
reaction, though, was no more than the conventional wisdom. Despite more than
30 years of revisionist scholarship, Neville Chamberlain is still seen by the
world exactly as those in and around the first Churchill Government wanted him
to be seen. That view is of a weak and confused man out of his depth in the snakepit
of European politics. With his rolled umbrella and wing collar, he blundered
round Europe in the late 1930s, deceived at every point by bad
men of greater intelligence, but hoping that he could settle German demands for
territory as peacefully as he might settle a strike in a Birmingham button
factory. In the process, he refused to let the country re-arm sufficiently to
face the inevitable conflict in defence of liberal civilisation. His name has
become shorthand for weakness and self-delusion in foreign policy.
Appeaser has become one of the ultimate insults in political debate
throughout the English-speaking world; and every argument over the present war
with Iraq must include some slighting reference to Neville Chamberlain and some
lavish praise of Winston Churchill, his apparently more realistic and courageous
antithesis.

In fact,
this view of Chamberlain has largely disappeared from the scholarly literature.
What we have instead is a cool understanding of the limitations of British
power in a changing and increasingly hostile world. This book expresses the
view briefly yet fully, and it gives useful extracts in support from
contemporary documents, and contains a good bibliography for further reading.
As such, it is an excellent introduction to the subject for students and for
those simply interested in the approach to the greatest war ever fought by this
country and the last in which it entered as a primary belligerent.

And that
is all I will say about the book. I am reviewing it simply as an excuse for
writing more about British foreign policy - this time from the perspective of
the 1930s.

Undoubtedly,
the Great War had been a disaster for this country. It was an act of stupidity
to enter it, and even more stupid not to try for a negotiated settlement in
1916. It had killed nearly a million men, and left many more maimed. Its
financial cost had been immense, requiring heavy taxes and a devaluation of Sterling,
and a tenfold increase in the national debt. It had also distorted patterns of
investment. The vast overseas portfolio built up during the previous generations
had been partly liquidated and replaced by heavy indebtedness to American
interests. Internally, capital had diverted into an unsustainable expansion of
heavy industry - areas in which the country had for some time been losing its
comparative advantage, and the products of which could no longer be readily
sold in an increasingly fragmented and economically hostile world market. The
years before 1914 were not

*** Threats... danger... fight... fight... fight... fight...

*** Dr. Steve Sjuggerud recommends a tech stock!

*** Who's the fool... the reader's carry trade... dumb chain
letters... and more!

  -

An election is an advance auction of stolen goods, as
Ambrose Bierce put it. The bidding began many months ago
and continues in the Big Apple this week, with each
candidate burnishing his shield, sharpening his sword... and
raising the stakes.

Republicans can tell which way the wind is blowing. They've
come out with a flattering convention theme - A Nation of
Courage - and an agenda at least as bellicose as their
opponents'.

Kicking the scrawny butts of nearly unarmed Third World
nations is not the sort of thing that epic poems and
granite monuments typically celebrate. Besides, when you
are the world's only superpower, it's not courage that you
need... it's prudence. You just don't want to do something
rash or stupid. But that seems to be what both parties are
bent on.

Conservatism is dead in America. George Bush will put the
crown on his own head on Thursday and announce a reign of
grandiose ambition, expansionism, recklessness and self-
delusion. It makes little difference whether he wins or
loses. Neither party plans to cut spending, though it is
debt that threatens the republic far more than terrorism.
Neither party can face up to the $44 trillion funding gap
in federal finances, nor to the current account deficit,
nor to the challenge of low-wage competitors in Asia. Even
Alan Greenspan is talking about the need to reform Social
Security and Medicare; but which national leader is going
to tell the voters that they will get less than expected?
Nor does either party question the War on Terror; it's a
fool's war, which is why it is so popular.

But Nature has to have her way... no matter what we think.
America cannot continue to be the world's only superpower,
for Nature will not permit a monopoly for very long. And
yet, no foreign nation is strong enough to offer a serious
military challenge - at least not yet. So the U.S. of A.
must ruin itself... and needs leadership that is up to the
task. In Bush and Kerry, America seems to have found its
Louis XVI... it's Nicholas II, its Theodosius, Rome's last
emperor. In Bush and Kerry, America has found leaders
worthy of a nation of happy hallucinators.

What is astonishing to us is the way both parties have
become war parties. We predicted it; but we are still
surprised by it.

Last night, in Madison Square Garden, I took the stage at
the Republican National Convention to speak to America
about the threats we face in the world, said an e-mail
message from Rudolph Giuliani...

President Bush has been the steady hand we need in these
times of uncertainty and danger. He understands the
stakes... he chooses to fight terror in places like Baghdad
and Kabul, rather than in New York and Kansas. It is the
right way to fight this enemy, and it is a fight we must
win...

In order to take the fight to our enemies, we must have
the strength of conviction and support for our Armed
Forces... this is not a fight that favors sensitivity and
nuance. This is a fight that requires strength,
determination and resolve.

An edited version reads as follows:

threats... danger... fight... fight... fight...

Terrorism as RNC Prop
AlterNet
By Roberto Lovato, Pacific News Service.
Posted August 30, 2004

Terrorists who live and work among Americans with impunity aren't the ones
the GOP is warning about.

NEW YORK CITY  While protesters and politicians here prepare to address a
world audience with speeches about terrorism and platforms about protecting
Americans, Jesuit priests testifying this week in the case of a man accused
of killing Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero in 1980 have an
audience small enough to fit into a San Joaquin Valley courthouse. And while
protests and security measures in New York smash against each other in the
fight to define who does and doesn't make us safer, several men convicted
and jailed for endangering more than 2,000 Panamanian citizens in an attempt
to assassinate Fidel Castro, walked off a plane in Miami. They screamed
Ganamos (We won) to a cheering crowd which included Cuban American
Republicans, unable to join the anti-terrorist chorus at the Convention.

The glitz and gravitational pull of terrorism talk at the convention in the
Big Apple blinds us to terrorism beyond that officially designated by our
government since 9/11. Though moving, speeches at the convention by victims
of 9/11 capture only a sliver of the terrorism that has enveloped the planet
for years. Given the heavy security focus inside and outside the convention,
it's disconcerting how little convention attendees seem to care about those
proven terrorists who live and work among us  and whom our government knows
about.

Nowhere are the terrorist double standards and danger to Americans clearer
than in the case of Luis Posada Carriles, a former CIA operative and one of
four Cuban Americans granted amnesty last week by the government of outgoing
Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso following a visit by U.S. Secretary of
State Colin Powell that same week. In 1998, Carriles admitted in a New York
Times interview that he planned a series of bombings of hotels and other
buildings in Cuba.

Posada Carriles and another colleague are also accused of masterminding the
midair explosion of Cubana Flight 455 carrying the Cuban fencing team and
other passengers. Carriles was convicted in Venezuelan courts of the bombing
and served eight years in prison there before he escaped. In the same way
those 9/11 families search for the truth in the U.S., families searching for
truth about victims of Cubana 455 believe that Colin Powell's visit to
Panama last week led Moscoso to grant prisoners amnesty during her final
days in office so that Washington could avoid the embarrassment of a
Carilles extradition and trial in Cuban or Venezuelan courts.

A show trial featuring Carriles, who is believed to be in hiding in Miami,
would detract attention from the upcoming trial of an officially designated
terrorist and terrorist supporter, Saddam Hussein. In the age of
anti-terrorist politics, the different fates of former U.S. friends Hussein
and Carriles provide us with valuable insights into the double standards and
dangers of terrorist and anti-terrorist politics.

So does the case of Alvaro Rafael Saravia, a retired Salvadoran Air Force
captain trained and funded with U.S. tax dollars who this week is accused in
Fresno's civil courts of planning the murder of Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar
Romero. Salvadorans attending the emotional trial  many of whom are
friends  of the most famous victim of El Salvador's state-sponsored
terrorism have told me that they attended the trial to bear witness to the
possibility of justice in the United States. They wonder why the more than
80,000 victims of El Salvador's state terrorism in the 1980's are not paid
the same attention as the thousands of victims of Saddam Hussein's state
terrorism also from the

The National Governors Association (NGA) held
a special session on 

The National Challenge of Prisoner
Reentry. Evidence suggests that providing
services beyond post-release supervision, such as substance abuse treatment, and
mental health services, lowers recidivism rates and improves outcomes for former
inmates, said John Thomasian, Director of NGA's Center for Best Practices.
These approaches not only help prisoners, but also their children, families,
and communities, while also being cost effective for states.
State governments spent an
estimated $68 billion on criminal justice in 2002, or 6.5 percent of total state
spending. With incarceration costs averaging $23,000 per year per inmate and
prison sentences averaging 25 months, states that reduce recidivism rates can
significantly decrease prison populations and corrections expenditures.
I have advocated treatment as an alternative to
incarceration for many years. We know that treatment works and is a far more
effective and cost efficient alternative to incarceration for non-violent,

chemically dependent criminal offenders. However, treatment must encompass
the full continuum of care if we are to move the

chemically dependent criminal offender from a life of drugs and crime, to
one of recovery and contribution. 

The U.S. Justice Department found that half of released
drug offenders will return to prison, however, this does not need to be the
case. Effectively treating both the chemical dependency and the criminal
behavior can have profoundly positive effects on reducing recidivism and
creating sober and responsible living.

One of the keys to relapse prevention with

chemically dependent criminal offenders is proper assessment of chemical
dependency, criminal behavior, and antisocial personality. Although these
issues overlap, each is distinctly different. 

Chemical dependency (substance abuse and dependence
disorders) involve a specific set of symptoms related to using alcohol or other
drugs in a manner that causes problems but does not meet the criteria of
substance dependence (abuse) and the involuntary development of a compulsive
pattern of substance use that causes progressive loss of control over the use of
alcohol and other drugs (dependence). Approximately six percent of the general
population has substance abuse and or dependence disorders[i],
while 70% of offenders are alcohol and drug dependent. Both abuse and
dependence can exacerbate antisocial personality traits.

Self-defeating personality traits, including antisocial
traits, are common in chemically dependent people and can contribute to relapse.

Antisocial personality (ASPT) is a cluster of personality traits that
revolve around criminality. Antisocial behaviors are any actions that
oppose legitimate social order that promotes the common good. The three most
common antisocial behaviors focus upon challenging authority, breaking rules,
and violating the rights of others (victimization). Antisocial behavior is
common among criminals. Although antisocial personality is found in less than
four percent of the general population, it is seen in 50 to 80% of prison
inmates. Being prepared to treat antisocial personality disorder is necessary
when working with the

chemically dependent criminal offender.

Psychopathy is a cluster of personality traits related to
entitlement (the world owes me), manipulation (I have the right to
deceive people in order to get what I want), lovelessness (I am incapable
of genuinely and deeply caring, connecting or empathizing with other human
beings), and guiltlessness (I lack the capacity for remorse when I do
things that hurt others. These four primary traits are packaged in a
personality wrapped in superficial charm and skillfully glib communication.

Bush's politics show with unwise rush to give CIA director wider authority
Newsday

August 31, 2004

Is it reform or is it politics? When President George W. Bush picked the
weekend before the Republican National Convention to announce changes in the
nation's intelligence community, he made that question unavoidable.

Reorganization of the intelligence bureaucracy should not be driven by the
election-year political calendar. The risk is too great that the effort to
improve intelligence collection, analysis and coordination will be
undermined by haste and distorted by maneuvering for partisan advantage.
Bush should have waited until after Nov. 2 to make changes. Same for
Congress. But that's not going to happen.

Bush signed executive orders Friday giving the director of central
intelligence additional authority to perform the function of a proposed
national intelligence director. He created a National Counterterrorism
Center and set new guidelines for information-sharing among agencies.

The orders signaled the president's intent to give the director of central
intelligence more muscle, including more influence in determining the
budgets of the nation's 15 intelligence agencies. While the changes appear
more form than substance, a senior White House official said it's as far as
Bush can go in implementing changes urged by the 9/11 Commission without
congressional action. Congress is sprinting to enact legislation before
Election Day. As it moves down that road, there are things Washington should
keep in mind.

A national intelligence director must control all intelligence-agency
budgets. Without that authority the director would be a figurehead, with
little more power than the current director of central intelligence to
coordinate the nation's spy effort.

A national intelligence director should not be a member of the cabinet and
should not operate out of the White House. He or she must be free from
political pressure, free to tell the president hard truths, even when they
conflict with the White House political agenda.

A national intelligence director should not wear two hats, as does the CIA
director, who is, on paper, atop all 15 agencies. The dual job is too big
and leads to a pro-CIA bias.

That still leaves tough questions for Congress, particularly how to
integrate the FBI's domestic counterterrorism operation into a new structure
while ensuring respect for the Constitution, which doesn't apply abroad.

This is a job that must be done with deliberation.

 HAGUE: IMPOSITION OF INTERNATIONAL DICTATORSHIP

 NATO/US/UN Tribunal at The Hague decided today to impose a counsel on
 Slobodan Milosevic against his will.

 This way this para-judicial creation overran the Nazi court which tried
 Dimitrov and Apartheid court which tried Mandela.

 The decision was made immediately after the opening speech of President
 Milosevic, which was the most concentrated presentation of arguments and
 historical facts that totally annulled the NATO anti-Serbian war
propaganda.
 This speech also announced the President Milosevic's strategy - to beat
the
 false indictments by proving the real guilt of those who broke-up, bombed
 and abolished the glorious European nation, Yugoslavia.

 This is another aggressive crime against this country and its people,
 against the International Law and against freedom and sovereignty of
 peoples.

 At the same time, this is a total denial of the whole international system
 of human rights protection.

 Brutal force imposes its own international law to silence, convict and
 eliminate each political opponent or freedom fighter. This new law is an
 art of punishing innocent.

 Our struggle enters a new phase - phase of open struggle against
 international dictatorship which has absolutely no scrupules.

 Our struggle, which is people's struggle, remains a struggle for freedom.
In
 our struggle, truth remains our strongest weapon.

 Our main slogan and our imminent goal is:

 FREEDOM FOR SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC!

 RAISE YOUR VOICE NOW!
 LAUNCH A MOST POWERFUL ACTION NOW!

 Cc: International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia

 We the undersigned, jurists, law professors, and  international criminal
 lawyers, hereby declare our alarm and concern that the International
 Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is preparing the
 imposition of counsel upon an unwilling accused, Slobodan Milosevic.

 This apparently punitive measure is contrary to international law,
 incompatible with the adversarial system of criminal justice adopted by
the
 Security Council in Resolution 808, and ignores the court's obligation to
 provide adequate medical care and provisional release to the defendant.
The
 ICTY, instead of taking appropriate measures to alleviate Slobodan
 Milosevic's long-standing medical problems, has compounded them. The ICTY
 has ignored repeated requests for provisional  release, to which everyone
 presumed innocent is entitled, has imposed unrealistically short
preparation
 periods on the defence, and has permitted the introduction of an
inordinate
 quantity of Prosecution evidence, much of which was bereft of probative
 value, thereby increasing Mr. Milosevic's level of stress, the principal
 trigger of his illness.  Chamber III has been informed of this by their
 chosen cardiologist. The defendant has been denied examination by his own
 physician, a further violation of his rights.

 Now, having brought about the very degradation of President Milosevic's
 health of which it had been warned, the ICTY seeks to impose counsel upon
 him over his objections, rather than  granting him provisional release in
 order to receive adequate and proper medical care, a reasonable measure
 reflected in domestic and international law and practice.  The envisaged
 imposition of counsel constitutes an egregious violation of
internationally
 recognized judicial rights, and will serve only to aggravate Mr
Milosevic's
 life-threatening illness and further discredit these proceedings.

 The right to defend oneself against criminal charges is central in both
 international law and in the very structure of the adversarial system. The
 fundamental, minimum rights provided to a defendant under the Rome Statute
 of the International Criminal Court, as well as the under the Statutes of
 the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and Yugoslavia, include

BLOOMBERG NEWS 

Diebold Inc. got a fast start in the voting-machine industry two years ago, but sales have dropped as the company stumbles over technical and political hurdles.
After almost 150 years of making safes, bank vaults, jailhouse doors and, more recently, automated teller machines, Diebold bought Global Election Systems Inc. and its AccuVote line of computerized voting terminals in 2002.
In a little more than three months, Diebold snared the biggest U.S. voting machine contract ever: a $54 million deal with the state of Georgia.
"It was successful beyond our wildest dreams, initially," said Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell.
As the 2004 elections near, the euphoria has faded. Computer security experts at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and Rice University in Houston say Diebold's touch-screen voting machines are vulnerable to vote rigging; security concerns and operating flaws have led to a ban on their use in November in parts of California and Ohio.
Diebold's election-system sales are headed for a second straight drop, to a company forecast of $75 million to $85 million, from $100 million in 2003 and $111 million in 2002.
Diebold, based in North Canton, Ohio, learned it's tough to profit from elections.
"We walked into a minefield," said O'Dell, 59.
After punch-card ballots from outmoded voting machines in Florida threw the 2000 presidential election into chaos, Congress planned to spend almost $4 billion for improvements.
Some of the biggest U.S. companies were among dozens angling for new products, partners or investments: Unisys Corp. had forged a voting machine partnership with Dell Inc. and Microsoft Corp., and Cisco Systems Inc. and Compaq Computer Corp. invested in the development of an Internet voting system.
Yet Diebold, a Standard  Poor's Midcap 400 Index company with an often-mispronounced name (DEE-bold, not DIE-bold) and about $2 billion in annual sales, had gotten a jump on them all.
Diebold is still waiting to be paid $38 million by San Diego and two other California counties that bought touch-screen voting machines, according to an August company filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Those bills may have to be written off after California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley barred the use of Diebold machines in the November balloting, the filing says.
In the March primary, about a third of 1,600 polling places in San Diego County opened late because batteries in Diebold machines ran low, Shelley said in a news release.
Ohio officials have also sidelined Diebold's machines in some counties after at least five private and government-sponsored studies raised questions about whether software in its touch-screen voting systems can be rigged to fix outcomes.
More than 20 states share a concern voiced by election officials in California and Ohio: that touch-screen voting machines work without any paper or ballot receipt, leaving no tangible trail for an audit or recount. The states say they might require paper trails for all machines.

The slaughter of Iraq's intellectuals
Andrew Rubin
Monday 6th September 2004

Since the occupation began, some 200 leading Iraqi academics, most of them
in the humanities and social sciences, have been killed. Is the CIA
responsible?

By Andrew Rubin

Control, intimidation, and even murder of Iraqi intellectuals, professors,
lecturers and teachers has become more or less systematic since the US-led
invasion of Iraq began in March 2003. Under the subsequent occupation,
initially governed by a body called the Coalition Provisional Authority, US
military officials dismissed many Iraqi intellectuals from university
positions, often on spurious grounds; and a surprisingly large number fell
victim to assassination. The Union of Iraqi Lecturers believes that roughly
200 have been killed, and estimates by various professors in Iraq back up
this figure.

Intellectuals, professors, lecturers and teachers are being assassinated on
what seems to be almost a regular basis.

To date, the CPA has neither investigated the deaths nor made a single
arrest, despite its penchant for rounding up young Iraqis and treating them
in barbaric ways in Saddam Hussein's for- mer prison of choice, Abu Ghraib.
A US defence department spokesman, when asked recently about assassinations
among the Iraqi intelligentsia, dismissed the matter as simply "obscure".
The Iraqi interim government, installed and hand-picked by the United
States, has done nothing and said nothing about it. With the exception of a
few courageous individuals such as Saad Jawad, a senior professor of
political science at the University of Baghdad, people are unwilling to
speak out publicly. When a former doctoral student of Jawad's was killed at
the University of Mosul, Jawad's colleagues refused to sign a petition
supporting a strike. The political forces active in Iraqi society are
becoming more fractured, more factional, more sectarian, and more ethnically
absolutist.

One university president and several deans have been murdered. What is most
striking is that many of those killed since the occupation began were
trained not in the physical sciences, but in fields such as the soft
sciences and the humanities. In other words, they were not being murdered by
loyalists to Saddam Hussein for knowing something about any possible weapons
of mass destruction programme. Instead they were, and are, professors of
subjects such as French literature, history and the law, where the
discussion about conflict can be converted into the conditions for
reconciliation.

There is much speculation about who is responsible for these killings. Some
allege it is Mossad, the Israeli secret service, which obviously has an
interest in a weak and possibly theocratic Iraq - the better to declare
Arabs undemocratically minded terrorists. ("It's not personal; it's
business," one professor in Baghdad says of Mossad's possible motives.)

Denis Halliday, a former assistant secretary-general of the UN, has wondered
aloud whether this is the work of anti-secular fundamentalists hoping to
recruit students to the madrasas and to the tenets of Islamist
fundamentalism. Others have pointed to militias such as those commanded by
Ahmad Chalabi, once favoured by the Pentagon. At the same time, some allege
these are acts of revenge and fury over grades from disgruntled students,
now armed, along with the entire civil society, with weapons that the US
sold to Iraq without reservation less than two decades ago.

Part of the process of dismis- sing Iraqi intellectuals, professors and
lecturers was known as de-Ba'athification: with the exception of a few
returned exiles, former Ba'ath Party members make up the vast majority of
professors in postwar Iraq. Under Saddam Hussein's regime, all professors
who wished to keep their job were required to join the Ba'ath Party. Yet the
US repression of academics was less about protecting academic freedom than a
kind of American McCarthyism abroad.

One must ask whether there is a concerted effort to undermine a secular
democratic foundation in Iraq's universities; after all, the prime minister,
Iyad Allawi, is himself a former Ba'athist and murderer. According to Robert
Dreyfuss, writing in the American Prospect, $3bn of the $87bn going to Iraq
has been allotted to fund covert CIA paramilitary operations there, which,
if the CIA's historical record is to be consulted, are likely to include
extrajudicial killings and assassinations.

Not that the curriculum under Saddam Hussein was ever a source of a radical
renewal that could

  In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for 
  extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope 
  in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky. 
  The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at 
  least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to 
  reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and 
  all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got 
  stronger.
  This radio signal, now seen on three separate occasions, is an enigma. 
  It could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon. Or 
  it could be something much more mundane, maybe an artefact of the 
  telescope itself. 
  But it also happens to be the best candidate yet for a contact by 
  intelligent aliens in the nearly six-year history of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
  project, which uses programs running as screensavers on millions of 
  personal computers worldwide to sift through signals picked up by the 
  Arecibo telescope. 
  Absorb and emit 
  “It’s the most interesting signal from [EMAIL PROTECTED],” says Dan Werthimer, 
  a radio astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and the 
  chief scientist for [EMAIL PROTECTED] “We’re not jumping up and down, but we are 
  continuing to observe it.”
  Named SHGb02+14a, the signal has a frequency of about 1420 megahertz. 
  This happens to be one of the main frequencies at which hydrogen, the most 
  common element in the universe, readily absorbs and emits energy. 
  Some astronomers have argued that extraterrestrials trying to advertise 
  their presence would be likely to transmit at this frequency, and SETI 
  researchers conventionally scan this part of the radio spectrum.
  SHGb02+14a seems to be coming from a point between the constellations 
  Pisces and Aries, where there is no obvious star or planetary system 
  within 1000 light years. And the transmission is very weak. 
  “We are looking for something that screams out ‘artificial’,” says UCB 
  researcher Eric Korpela, who completed the analysis of the signal in 
  April. “This just doesn’t do that, but it could be because it is 
  distant.”
  Unknown signature 
  The telescope has only observed the signal for about a minute in total, 
  which is not long enough for astronomers to analyse it thoroughly. But, 
  Korpela thinks it unlikely SHGb02+14a is the result of any obvious radio 
  interference or noise, and it does not bear the signature of any known 
  astronomical object.
  That does not mean that only aliens could have produced it. “It may be 
  a natural phenomenon of a previously undreamed-of kind like I stumbled 
  over,” says Jocelyn Bell Burnell of the University of Bath, UK. 
  It was Bell Burnell who in 1967 noticed a pulsed radio signal which the 
  research team at the time thought was from extraterrestrials but which 
  turned out to be the first ever sighting of a pulsar.
  There are other oddities. For instance, the signal’s frequency is 
  drifting by between eight to 37 hertz per second. “The signal is moving 
  rapidly in frequency and you would expect that to happen if you are 
  looking at a transmitter on a planet that’s rotating very rapidly and 
  where the civilisation is not correcting the transmission for the motion 
  of the planet,” Korpela says. 
  This does not, however, convince Paul Horowitz, a Harvard University 
  astronomer who looks for alien signals using optical telescopes. He points 
  out that the [EMAIL PROTECTED] software corrects for any drift in frequency.
  Fishy and puzzling 
  The fact that the signal continues to drift after this correction is 
  “fishy”, he says. “If [the aliens] are so smart, they’ll adjust their 
  signal for their planet’s motion.”
  The relatively rapid drift of the signal is also puzzling for other 
  reasons. A planet would have to be rotating nearly 40 times faster than 
  Earth to have produced the observed drift; a transmitter on Earth would 
  produce a signal with a drift of about 1.5 hertz per second. 
  What is more, if telescopes are observing a signal that is drifting in 
  frequency, then each time they look for it they should most likely 
  encounter it at a slightly different frequency. But in the case of 
  SHGb02+14a, every observation has first been made at 1420 megahertz, 
  before it

Crossing the Rubicon: 
The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil 
by Michael C. Ruppert 

This is a detective story that gets to the innermost core of the 9/11 
attacks. It places 9/11 at the center of a desperate new America, 
created by specific, named individuals in preparation for Peak Oil: 
an economic crisis like nothing the world has ever seen. 

The attacks of September 11th, 2001 were accomplished through 
an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. 

Crossing the Rubicon discovers and identifies the key suspects 
and persons of interest - finding some of them in the highest 
echelons of American government - by showing how they acted in 
concert to guarantee that the attacks occurred and produced the 
desired result. 

After two and a half years of research and writing, Ruppert said: 

"In my new book I will be making several key points: 

1. I will name Vice President Richard Cheney as the prime suspect 
in the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was he 
a planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks 
he was running a completely separate Command, Control and 
Communications system which was superceding any orders being 
issued by the FAA, the Pentagon, or the White House Situation 
Room; 

2. I will establish conclusively that in May of 2001, by presidential 
order, Richard Cheney was put in direct command and control of all 
wargame and field exercise training and scheduling through 
several agencies, especially FEMA. This also extended to all of the 
conflicting and overlapping NORAD drills -- some involving hijack 
simulations -- taking place on that day. 

3. I will also demonstrate that the TRIPOD II exercise 
being set up on Sept. 10th in Manhattan was directly connected to 
Cheney's role in the above. 

4. I will also prove conclusively that a number of public officials, 
at the national and New York City levels, including then-Mayor 
Rudolph Giuliani, were aware that flight 175 was en route to lower 
Manhattan for 20 minutes and did nothing to order the evacuation 
of, or warn the occupants of the South Tower. One military officer 
was forced to leave his post in the middle of the attacks and place 
a private call to his brother - who worked at the WTC - warning him 
to get out. That was because no other part of the system was 
taking action. 

5. I will also show that the Israeli and British governments acted 
as partners with the highest levels of the American government 
to help in the preparation and, very possibly, 
the actual execution of the attacks." 

"There is more reason to be afraid of not facing the evidence in this 
book than of facing what is in it."

Perhaps it is a prion which evolved in a distant 
galaxy into an AI form. Biologists tell us prions are not living but they do 
self-replicate. Given enough time, self-replicating complex molecules might by 
chance start saying some interesting things, yet they would still have no more
