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

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...

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

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. Notice the general

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. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo! Companion Toolbar. Now with Pop-Up Blocker.

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! The open dictatorship legitimizes all forms of resistance!

Mr. JULIAN ROBERT HUNTE, President of 58th Session of the UN General Assembly Russian Presidency of the UN Security Council, To all members of the UN Security Council, to all members of the UN 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 the

Will: Arizona a major player in 2004 race Calif. electronic voting assailed After primaries, states wary of electronic voting By Bob Drummond 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. O'Dell said he wants to help
[CTRL] CIA the Murder of Iraq's Intellectuals
-Caveat Lector- "Is the CIA responsible? ... 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" -- http://www.newstatesman.com/site.php3?newTemplate=NSArticle_NSnewDisplayURN =200409060018 New Statesman Monday 6th September 2004 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

Subscribe and get 4 free issues. 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 Its 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] Were 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 doesnt 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 signals 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 thats 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, theyll adjust their signal for their planets 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

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."

-Caveat Lector- 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 REAL intelligence than a U-S-A president.
