To ensure his weapons worked, they were tried out on what the CIA classified as "expendables": suspected double agents, captured spies + others held in detention camps in the American Zone in southern Germany. 00.000.1950 -This was the s when- the Cold War was at its height. But Olson had never witnessed the result of his work. 00.000.1953 -Then in the summer of- he visited a CIA "safe house" near Stuttgart. He saw men dying, often in agony, from the weapons he had made. He was shocked + protested. By the time he had returned to Fort Detrick in 00.Nov.1953 of that year, his fate had been sealed. CIA director Allan Welsh Dulles decided that Olson was a dangerous whistleblower. Eric Olson had always maintained "my father was murdered on the highest authority". He has fought a long battle to prove his point. But at every step he was blocked by two of the most powerful men in Washington - Cheney + Rumsfeld. But the documents which have surfaced in Washington all too clearly pinpoint the role the two men played in covering-up the murder of Frank Olson. The question was + still is: Hey! What's going on here?

But if they say that they haven't been turning Ames into weapons-grade powdered anthrax then I guess we can trust them. I mean, after all, governments never lie--especially about serious matters like this. But wait!

Both services kept separate, but service- specific records of the results. Nobody in either service had gathered the pieces together. For the past year, Morris + her team have been searching throughout the DoD system for data, systematically targeting the places these records may have been tucked away. "We know that the Deseret Test Center documents were taken over by Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah," Morris says. "We also know some of those documents went to Fort Detrick." The process has been painstaking. Paper + microfiche records have been combed by hand, important bits of information pieced together + added to a list of materials which then had to go through the Pentagon’s declassification process. This investigation has required the close cooperation of the VA, the Military Veterans Health Coordinating Board, the Assistant Secretaries for Manpower and Reserve Affairs of the Army + Navy + elements of the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The Under Secretary of the Army also worked to expeditiously declassify needed documentation. Data collected for each test includes the test dates, identification of ships + units involved, test locations, simulants/agents/decontaminants used + test methods employed. Morris’ investigators have gone through thousands of classified documents + she says there are thousands more to look at. https://www.lovearth.net/popup.htm https://deploymentlink.osd.mil/current_issues/shad/shad_chart/shad_chart_6.shtml https://www.lies.net/FakeTerrorAlerts.htm https://www.testsubjects.net/USMilitaryUsedNerveGas.htm 00.000.1960 's Military Used Nerve Gas In Open Air Tests In - US DoD Releases Information on 00.000.1960 tests https://deploymentlink.osd.mil/news/jan02/news_10402_001.shtml WASHINGTON, 04.Jan.2002 (DeploymentLINK) - 00.000.1960 -In the s- the Department of Defense conducted a series of chemical + biological warfare vulnerability tests on naval ships known collectively as Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense. Over the past 10 years, some individual veterans expressed concern to the Department of Veterans Affairs that their participation in these tests may have exposed them to harmful substances. 00.Aug.2000 -the VA asked the DoD for help in obtaining information needed to clarify claims information from servicemembers who believed they might have been exposed to harmful substances during their participation in SHAD exercises. Specifically, VA claims experts needed to know what type of substances veterans may have been exposed to + when they may have been exposed. The simulants or agents used, dates of the tests + which vessels were involved are key to determine if there should be a concern today. The Defense Department then began an investigation to determine possible medical hazards which may have been associated with these tests + recently released the first in a series of fact sheets about the exercises. Dee Dodson Morris is coordinating this ongoing investigation. Her 22- year career in the Army Chemical Corps gives her distinctive understanding of these tests. Richard Ebright von der Rutgers University hätte lieber nur ein einziges neues Hochsicherheitslabor gesehen - + zwar in Fort Detrick, dem medizinischen Forschungszentrum des Pentagons. Die Armee sei besser als eine Universität in der Lage, ein Institut voller tödlicher Erreger zu bewachen. Ihn beunruhigt auch, dass die Zahl der Personen mit Zugang zu Killerviren so schnell steigt: "Es erhöht die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Freisetzung." 08.Sep.1900 Der schlimmste Orkan, der die USA je erreichte, zerstörte fast alle Häuser + tötete über 6000 Menschen. In einem schlichten Gebäude der University of Texas ist gerade hinter extradicken Mauern ein Labor der höchsten Sicherheitsstufe 4 fertig gestellt worden. In diesen Tagen wird es beliefert mit ersten Killern - etwa den Erregern von Horrorkrankheiten wie Ebola, Lassa und Krim-Kongo. Das ist für immer vorbei. Für 120 Millionen $ wird in Galveston bis 2007 das "National Biocontainment Laboratory" errichtet: ein Mega-Laborkomplex für Hunderte von Forschern. Ein Zwillingsinstitut ist in Boston geplant, weitere Großlabore in Montana und Maryland; und gleich neun kleinere Regionallabore der Sicherheitsstufen 2 und 3 werden über das Land verteilt. Gefördert mit Milliardensummen aus Washington stürzen sich Tausende Wissenschaftler an Universitäten, öffentlichen Instituten und Firmen auf die Arbeit an todbringenden Viren und Bakterien. "Biodefense" lautet ihr Auftrag; denn die immer noch ungeklärten Anthrax-Anschläge im Herbst 2001 haben offenbart, dass die Amerikaner gefährlich wenig wissen über die Waffen von Bioterroristen. Ein mühsames Procedere bei derzeit gut 80.000 Namen auf der Liste. Die strengen Kontrollen zeigen, wie die Nachwehen des 11.Sep.2001 längst auch eher beschaulich-weltfremde Fachleute quälen. Seit klar geworden ist, dass sich viele wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse sowohl gegen als auch für den Terrorismus einsetzen lassen, steht die Forschung unter Generalverdacht Vergangenes Jahr verdächtigte das FBI Steven Hatfill, Mitarbeiter im Hochsicherheitslabor für Biowaffen Fort Detrick in Maryland, Anthrax-Briefe verschickt zu haben. Seither hat die US-Regierung besonders die Mikrobiologie ins Fadenkreuz genommen. Oberstes Ziel: Der Personenkreis mit Zugang zu Pocken- oder Anthrax-Erregern soll radikal eingeschränkt und penibel überprüft werden.

He was shocked + protested. By the time he had returned to Fort Detrick in November of that year, his fate had been sealed. CIA director Allan Welsh Dulles decided that Olson was a dangerous whistleblower. Frank Olson's work for the CIA had included making biological weapons. He had devised an aerosol disguised as insect spray that contained the lethal pathogen, botulism. 00.000.1951 It was successfully used to kill a Russian GRU military intelligence officer on a visit to Gdansk, Poland, . Another creation had been toothpaste containing salmonella, an incapacitating bacterium. 00.000.1952 The CIA arranged for it to be distributed to Bulgarian troops in Sofia. Yet another weapon was inserted into Polish produced jam, the shigella bacterium, which produced incapacitating diarrhoea. 00.000.1952 For a time it produced a major outbreak among Polish and other Warsaw Pact frontline troops . All these + more, Frank Olson had produced in his laboratory at Fort Detrick, near Washington DC. It was America's chemical-biological warfare complex. 00.000.1943 -Since-, Olson had worked there. To ensure his weapons worked, they were tried out on what the CIA classified as "expendables": suspected double agents, captured spies and others held in detention camps in the American Zone in southern Germany. No one has been arrested so far in the anthrax attacks that killed five people + sickened dozens more in Connecticut + Florida + New York + Washington more than nine months ago. Hatfill's name grabbed headlines in 00.Jun.---- , when FBI agents searched his apartment in Frederick, Maryland, with his consent. They searched the home again this month using a search warrant. 00.Sep.1997-00.Sep.1999 Hatfill worked from at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, where anthrax is accessible. Investigators have said the anthrax may have come from the military base near Frederick. 21.Nov.2005 This list is an attempt to auto-extract proper names from https://www.lycaeum.org/books/books/last_circle/15.htm It was selected because it was already available when the decision was made to jettison the old vaccine. Although it is definitely more pure, unfortunately its purity has not demonstrated improved safety or effectiveness. Its primary ingredient, PA (protective antigen) has significant toxicity. [3,4] For example, in 00.000.1960 -in the s- studies performed at Fort Detrick by Lincoln + Klein, injecting it into the cerebrospinal fluid of monkeys caused complete cessation of brain electrical activity for several minutes. Vaccine effectiveness varies all over the map depending upon which experimental animal species are chosen. No correlates of protection have been identified which permit extrapolation from animals to humans. In fact, in older 00.000.1980-00.000.1990 -from the s- studies performed at Fort Detrick + Porton Down, UK, rPA vaccines were LESS effective in animal models than the currently licensed vaccines. 4. VaxGen (another start-up company selected by DHHS) was investigated by the London Times + The Guardian for improper manipulation of its stock price + has faced several lawsuits by investors. Why contract with VaxGen to produce a vaccine created years ago at Fort Detrick? So far, VaxGen has received $80 million for 3 million doses. Document 1: AD Number: ADA308957.pdf The segment omitted the scientific reasons for protesting the anthrax vaccine program, but I was asked to participate in a "Question and Answer" forum on the Lehrer Newshour website, along with Col.

Schuler erklärte, die Forderung sei dem Verteidigungsministerium zugestellt worden. Falls die Regierung die Forderung zurückweist, kann er innerhalb von sechs Monaten Klage einreichen. Bislang gibt es nur Vermutungen, dass die tödlichen Erreger aus Fort Detrick in Maryland stammten. Dort ist das Forschungsinstitut für Viruserkrankungen der Streitkräfte untergebracht. Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, University of Iowa Fahndung Seit einem halben Jahr gilt Fort Detrick als der wahrscheinlichste Herkunftsort des Anthraxerregers, der die USA im Herbst in Schrecken versetzte. Doch erst jetzt müssen sich Mitarbeiter einem Lügendetektortest unterziehen. Die schleppende Fahndung führt zu Spekulationen, dass das FBI den Täter gar nicht finden will. New York - Bereits im vergangenen November, einen Monat nach dem ersten Anthrax-Todesfall, stellte das FBI ein Täterprofil des Absenders der vier Anthraxbriefe vor: Gesucht werde ein amerikanischer Mikrobiologe, der Zugang zu einem der wenigen Biowaffenlabore in den USA habe. Anthrax-Anschläge - FBI durchsucht Bio-Labors der US-Armee Frederick/USA - Nach Angaben aus Ermittlerkreisen steht die Razzia mit den Anthrax-Anschlägen Ende 2001 in Zusammenhang. Ein Sprecher von Fort Detrick, wo sich die Labors zur Verteidigung gegen Biowaffen befinden, bestätigte lediglich, dass die Forschungseinrichtung aufgrund der Untersuchung seit Freitag geschlossen sei. Nach Erhalt der Briefe waren 2001 fünf Menschen an LungenAnthrax gestorben, 17 weitere wurden krank. Dr. Cieslak is working in the area of medical defense against biological warfare + terrorism. Theodore J. Cieslak and Edward M. Eitzen, Jr. But as chance would have it, an inhalation anthrax epidemic at one of the mills led the researchers to vaccinate everyone at the site. None of the vaccinated developed inhalation anthrax—good news but not scientifically relevant. (The only scientifically relevant information reaped about inhalation anthrax was a detailed ticktock about how it progressed in humans. See this sidebar for more.) when scientists at the now defunct U.S. Army Chemical Corps at Fort Detrick designed an anthrax vaccine after surmising that anthrax would make a powerful bioweapon. Tests on 600 "scientific personnel" at Fort Detrick demonstrated the vaccine's safety + 00.000.1955-00.000.1959 non-military researchers tested the efficacy of the vaccine on workers at four U.S. factories where anthrax-contaminated raw goat hair was handled. Typically, about 1 in 100 workers each year developed "cutaneous" anthrax, a less severe form of the disease that causes skin lesions. But the study, the only human efficacy trial of the vaccine, proved it 92.5 % effective in preventing cutaneous anthrax.

Ein Sprecher von Fort Detrick, wo sich die Labors zur Verteidigung gegen Biowaffen befinden, bestätigte lediglich, dass die Forschungseinrichtung aufgrund der Untersuchung seit Freitag geschlossen sei. 00.000.2001 -Herbst- ist Fort Detrick schon mehrfach vom FBI besucht worden. Ein früher dort tätiger Wissenschaftler, Stephen Hatfill, wurde von der Bundespolizei als "Person von Interesse" eingestuft, was Spekulationen über eine Verwicklung des Labors in den Anthrax-Terror auslöste. Nach Erhalt der Briefe waren 2001 fünf Menschen an LungenAnthrax gestorben, 17 weitere wurden krank. The bad news was that the stash was found, not in Iraq, but fewer than 50 miles from Washington, near Fort Detrick in the Maryland countryside. The anthrax was a non-virulent strain + the discoveries are apparently remnants of an abandoned germ warfare programme. They merited only a local news item in the Washington Post. But suspicious finds in Iraq have made front-page news (before later being cleared), given the failure of US military inspection teams to find evidence of the weapons that were the justification for the 23.Mar.2003 invasion. Even more embarrassing for the Pentagon, there was no documentation about the various biological agents disposed of at the US bio-defence centre at Fort Detrick. Iraq's failure to come up with paperwork proving the destruction of its biological arsenal was portrayed by the US as evidence of deception in the run-up to the war. https://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,965319,00.html Die Ausgrabungen und die Identifizierung der gefundenen Materialien hat sich als sehr aufwendig erwiesen, da keine Dokumentationen über die vergrabenen Stoffe vorhanden ist. 100 im Sand vergrabene Ampullen mit Anthraxerregern und anderen biologischen Kampfstoffen sind schon längst gefunden worden. Das ganze hat nur einen kleinen Schönheitsfehler. Der Fundort befindet sich nahe Fort Detrick, in Maryland, USA.

Bush was asked about speculation that he was drinking again. "Let's just say I was below the legal limit, but if you folks keep asking me tough questions, there's no guarantee I'll stay sober until noon." Bush also said that Miers was the first woman in charge of "the Dallas bar I hung out in during the good old days. Okay, maybe not, but the two women look alike."

Up-and-coming Republican hacks would do well to watch closely the ongoing Senate investigations of superstar lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his former business partner Michael Scanlon. The power duo stand accused of exploiting Native American tribes to the tune of roughly $66 million, laundering that money into bank accounts they controlled + then using it to buy favors for powerful members of Congress + the executive branch. But they sure did know how to play the game. Consider one memo highlighted in a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday that Scanlon, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, sent the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana to describe his strategy for protecting the tribe’s gambling business. In plain terms, Scanlon confessed the source code of recent Republican electoral victories: target religious conservatives, distract everyone else + then railroad through complex initiatives. “The wackos get their information through the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees,” Scanlon wrote in the memo, which was read into the public record at a hearing of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. “Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them.” The brilliance of this strategy was twofold: Not only would most voters not know about an initiative to protect Coushatta gambling revenues, but religious “wackos” could be tricked into supporting gambling at the Coushatta casino even as they thought they were opposing it. Another lesson from the Abramoff-Scanlon school: Pad your public numbers. In 00.Oct.2001 , the lobbying team decided to inflate the amount they were billing Indian tribes so Abramoff could make it into a “top ten” ranking of Native American lobbyists. They planned to tell the Coushatta tribe that $1 million was needed for a “public affairs” strategy. Then, by apparently falsifying an invoice from Abramoff’s law firm, Greenberg Traurig, they would reroute the money to a charity Abramoff had founded, which was paying to build a school for his children and give “sniper training” courses in Israel. Much of this information is now dated. It is posted here as part of a historic research archive. Terrence Scanlon Company: Capital Research Center President and chairman of the board, Capital Research Center, a conservative research and educational institute established to study critical issues in philanthropy, with a special focus on non-profit "public interest" + advocacy groups and the influence these groups have on policy; authored numerous articles which have appeared in The New York Times , the Wall Sfreet Journal , the Washington Times + Human Events ; former vice president for corporate relations, Heritage Foundation; vice chairman, appointed by President Ronald Reagan to a seven-year term, Consumer Product Safety Commission; first vice president, March for Life Education and Defense Fund; director, Education and Research Institute; trustee, Consumers Research; advisory board member, Consumer Alert. Spouse - Judy. Washington, D.C. 00.000.1999 the "AARP received $73 million in federal grants -He told the gathering that- 00.000.1999 73 million of your tax dollars went to the AARP. Most of this money came from the Labor Department for job training programs for seniors." [6] ( https://www.geocities.com/collective_int/archive3224_3352.htm ) Scanlon had the National Council of Senior Citizens (NCSC) in his sights. NCSC, he said, "were well known four years ago during the Hillary Clinton health care debate when they were lobbying for national health care. Their budget is 96 % federally funded. If it were not for federal dollars there would be no National Council for Senior Citizens." [7] ( https://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=10496 ) 00.Feb.2002 CRC's President, Terrence Scanlon signed onto a letter initiated by Edwin_J._Feulner Edward Feulner from the Heritage Foundation arguing that a "stimulus package that reduces tax rates on workers, investors + business will mean more jobs, higher incomes + a stronger America". (The letter carried the curious disclaimer 'organizational affiliations are included for identification purposes only'). [8] ( https://www.empoweramerica.org/stories/storyReader%24186 ) Scanlon has also signed on for other lobbying letters too. 00.Aug.2002 Scanlon was a co-signatory to a letter from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity which complained that "we are particularly concerned that the tax code is making it very difficult for U.S based companies to compete in global markets. The corporate tax rate in the USA is much too high + we compound the damage by taxing income U.S. taxpayers earn in other countries". [9] ( https://www.freedomandprosperity.org/ltr/ctc4/ctc4.shtml ) CRC has also lobbied members of Congress against supporting measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions. 00.May 2003 on behalf of CRC Scanlon joined 32 other conservative groups warning against "alarmist statements about climate change and science contained in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's State Department authorization bill". It warned House Committee members against accepting the Senate version of the bill. "The Senate committee findings include exaggerations, misleading statements, out-of-context citations + reliance on discredited sources," they wrote. [10] ( https://www.cei.org/gencon/003,03465.cfm ) 00.Apr.1995 House Majority Leader Richard Armey wrote on official letterhead to 82 companies warning them that their contributions to non-profit groups helped "support expansion of the welfare state." The companies were selected on the basis of a classification by CRC which ranked Greenpeace as "radical left" + groups such as the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association + the American Lung Association as "liberal", the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Spokesman for CRC, Robert Berkebile, explained that the American Cancer Society was classed as 'liberal' because it supported taxes on cigarettes. (It is now known that Philip Morris was funding CRC at the time). The American Lung Association got the same rating because it supported regulations on burning hazardous waste in cement kilns. Monsanto, not known for its support for radical causes, got a "centre-left" tag because it contributed to the Nature Conservancy, amongst others. Equally interesting is CRC's assessment of who it viewed as the real conservatives. The Rand Corporation was tagged as "center left" while the American Enterprise Institute was designated as in the "center". The true believers, gaining the "conservative" badge of honour were CRC itself + the index.php%3Ftitle=Center_for_the_Study_of_American_Business&action=edit">Center for the Study of American Business + the Chamber Foundation,+ the Heritage Foundation + the Hoover Institution + the Hudson Institute. The director of the Congressional Accountability Project, Gary Ruskin, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the analysis was more than 'defunding the left' "it's defunding the center, too". 00.Feb.2001 -In mid- CRC President Terrence Scanlon addressed the 28th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) stating "for the first time we have an opportunity to go after these [liberal nonprofit] groups and take away their federal money." Conservative News Service (CNS) reported that Scanlon named several organizations that are receiving federal funding including the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). He told the gathering that 00.000.1999 the "AARP received $73 million in federal grants, 73 million of your tax dollars went to the AARP. Most of this money came from the Labor Department for job training programs for seniors." [6] ( https://www.geocities.com/collective_int/archive3224_3352.htm ) Scanlon had the National Council of Senior Citizens (NCSC) in his sights. NCSC, he said, "were well known four years ago during the Hillary Clinton health care debate when they were lobbying for national health care. Their budget is 96 % federally funded. If it were not for federal dollars there would be no National Council for Senior Citizens." [7] ( https://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=10496 ) 00.000.2001 -in- was made to Abramoff’s Capital Athletic Foundation . The foundation funded Abramoff’s Jewish prep school in Bethesda, MD, which closed soon after his lobbying scheme unraveled. 00.Nov.2004 -When the Observer inquired in- about the $1 million contribution, we had obtained a copy of the Capital Athletic Foundation’s tax filing, but the contributor’s name was redacted. Following the lead of Lake Charles, Louisiana, American Press reporter Shawn Martin, the Observer last week obtained an un-redacted copy. The $1 million contribution, roughly 95 % of what the foundation raised 00.000.2001 , was attributed to the Coushatta Tribe. A source working with the Coushatta Tribal Council majority said it now appears that the contribution was made in response to a bill sent by Mike Scanlon. Accountants working under the direction of Hance Scarborough found a $1-million Greenberg Traurig invoice that Scanlon sent the tribe. Scanlon routinely sent un-itemized bills for larger sums, which the tribe routinely paid. But as he was not a Greenberg Traurig employee, he billed on his own Capitol Campaign Strategies invoices. On the $1 million Greenberg Traurig invoice Scanlon sent the tribe 00.000.2001, the company name was misspelled. 09.May 2001 -when he ushered the two tribal chiefs into the White House to meet the President, The Washington Post story that would end his lobbying career + begin two Senate Committee investigations was three years away. (When the Post story broke in February 2004, however, Abramoff and Scanlon, a former Tom DeLay press aide, were already targets of a U.S. Attorney’s investigation in Washington.) Norquist is founder and director of Americans for Tax Reform, the advocacy group committed to slashing taxes until the federal government is so small you “can drown it in the bathtub.” Norquist started ATR 00.000.1985. His power increased exponentially 00.000.1994, when Republicans took control of the House of Representatives + he collaborated with then-Majority Whip Tom DeLay to launch the “K Street Project”—a coordinated campaign to compel lobbyists to contribute only to Republican candidates and ultimately to hire only Republicans. Like Abramoff and Rove, Norquist considered George Bush’s victory over Al Gore the culmination of a project the three Washington insiders started 30 years ago as national leaders of the College Republicans. Jack Abramoff and Grover Norquist Billing Clients for Face Time with G.W. Bush BY LOU DUBOSE In D.C., the FBI, a federal grand jury + a Senate committee are reviewing questionable lobbying fees and influence peddling that link DeLay, Abramoff + Scanlon and tie into the Texas probe. The questioned fees were apparently generated shortly after Abramoff, one of the capital's top lobbyists, left Preston Gates 00.000.2001. It was at Preston that he developed his weighty reputation and first made contact with some of the Indian tribes now claiming that they were ripped off by him and Scanlon. Abramoff, according to e-mails obtained by investigators, referred to some of his clients as morons and idiots. He also worried about his cover being blown on allegedly covert deals in which he urged tribes to hire Scanlon, without revealing that he, Abramoff, was sharing in the enormous fees. Abramoff and Scanlon, who is a former DeLay aide, aren't commenting, their attorneys say. DeLay, who was admonished for three congressional ethics violations last year alone, calls it all a Democratic plot. And a Preston Gates spokesperson last week said it is the firm's policy "that we do not comment on former employees or ongoing legal matters." The firm would not say whether its practices were being reviewed by any outside agency in connection with the probes. Abramoff, 45, who grew up in Beverly Hills, has been one of D.C.'s highest-paid arm-twisters the past 10 years, with monthly retainers of up to $175,000. He earned his considerable repute through Preston Gates as a power broker for offshore sweatshops and for American Indian casinos in the 1990s. A self-described ultraconservative Orthodox Jew, Abramoff is a longtime pal of Bush brain Karl Rove, antitax guru Grover Nordquist + religious-right leader Ralph Reed. He helped raise funds for Ronald Reagan and Ollie North, was the movie producer/writer of a Cold War potboiler called Red Scorpion + founded a political group that supported the South African apartheid government. Gosh, this is getting monotonous.

Playing both sides off against the middle, Messrs. Abramoff and Scanlon originally worked with conservative religious activist Ralph Reed to help the State of Texas shut down the Indian tribe's casino + then Messrs. Abramoff and Scanlon's turned around and persuaded the the tribe to pay them $4.2 million to try to get Congress to reopen it. Messrs. Abramoff and Scanlon are now embroiled in Congressional and grand jury investigations over an incredible $82 million in lobbying and public relations fees they collected from six tribes that operate gambling casinos. By the way, Mr. Scanlon, 34 is a former aide to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay , whose name seems to be bandied about in just about every Congressional scandal in Washington or Austin these days. Charles Kuffner has been all over this story, so check out his blog for more analysis of the situation.

Washington - Mit 224 zu 209 Stimmen wurden gestern Abend in Washington die von Unterhändlern beider Kammern ausgehandelten Haushaltsentwürfe für das Gesundheits-, Arbeits- sowie für das Erziehungsministerium abgeschmettert. Es ist das erste Mal seit zehn Jahren, dass ein zwischen beiden Kammern ausgehandelter Kompromiss scheitert. Aus seiner Sicht war natürlich Rosenberg, der unermüdliche Prediger gegen das Russentum im Allgemeinen und den jüdischen Bolschewismus im Besonderen, einer der Hauptverbrecher auf der Nürnberger Anklagebank. 00.000.1933 habe er -Rosenberg- von der "Tatsache der Konzentrationslager" gehört. Zwei der Lager seien ihm sogar namentlich bekannt, Oranienburg und Dachau. Doch besucht habe er niemals eines. Er habe "aus Geschmacksrücksichten, ihrer Freiheit beraubte Menschen nicht einfach beobachten zu wollen, davon Abstand genommen". 16.Apr.1946 + 17.Apr.1946 wurde Alfred Rosenberg verhört. Nachdem er seinen Lebenslauf geschildert hatte, begann er sofort, über Goethe, Herder, Fichte, Kant, Schopenhauer und die indische Philosophie zu schwadronieren. Sein Verteidiger Thoma fragte nach: "Sie sprachen im Laufe Ihrer Reden häufig von 'der Gestalt der Idee'. Waren Sie da von Goethe beeinflusst?" Und Rosenberg antwortete: "Ja, das ist selbstverständlich, dass gerade dieser Gedanke, die Welt als Gestalt zu sehen, von Goethe kommt." Die Richter wollten sich solcherlei philosophische Exkurse jedoch nicht anhören und intervenierten. Es folgten eine ganze Reihe von Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Verteidigung und Gericht, wobei Ankläger und Richter immer wieder betonten, dass niemand wegen seiner Gedanken angeklagt sei, sondern es um Taten gehe. Der ehemalige CIA-Direktor Turner hat US-Vizepräsident Cheney im Zusammenhang mit Missbrauchsvorwürfen gegen die USA scharf angegriffen. Turner bezeichnete Cheney als "Vizepräsident für Folter".

Then, they put an assault rifle to his forehead and said "get the fuck out of here right now." They had a 2 MILLION $ insurance policy for the event. They had liscenced security guards at the gates confiscating any alcohol or drugs found upon entry (yes, they searched every car on the way in). Oh, I suppose I should mention that they arrested all the security guards for possession. I jokingly said "Oh look, here comes big brother" to the person I was with. I wasn't far off. As I looked back towards the crowd I saw a guy dressed in camoflauge walking by, toting an assault rifle. At this point, everyone was fully aware of what was going on . A few "troops" rushed the stage and cut the sound off and started yelling that everyone "get the fuck out of here or go to jail". This is where it got really sticky. 17.Nov.2005 article9931.htm Its 1984 on the way to the Brave New World....

Sometimes that sort of nepotism happens by coincidence or casually, but Skull & Bones is different because really the purpose of Skull & Bones is to propel members to positions of prominence. And then it encourages - in fact it almost directs them once they are there in that position of power, to elevate other members into these high levels of influence. And that's something that we've seen with Bush [BGW968]. As soon as he got into the White House, one of the first social gatherings he had was a reunion of his Skull & Bones members. Then almost immediately he started appointing other members of Skull & Bones into positions into the Justice Department and later the Office of Homeland Security. With your usual networks you may have an entree at a law firm, or maybe a group of people working together at a university. But Skull & Bones is different in that it has had Presidents of the USA, Supreme Court Chief Justices, CIA officials and business tycoons. It's sort of a realm of influence in America that a tiny club initiating 15 members each year shouldn't have. So tell us the history. What are its roots and how did it evolve into what it is today? Then almost immediately he started appointing other members of Skull & Bones into positions into the Justice Department and later the Office of Homeland Security. https://indymedia.all2all.org/news/2002/11/37329_comment.php under a sweeping surveillance bill introduced in Parliament yesterday. 17.Nov.2005 Compassion fatigue -- or something more ugly?: According to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Americans doled out $1.3 billion for victims of the tsunami.

Angekündigt wird die Brennstoffzelle schon seit Jahren. Doch über einige kleine Flotten von Forschungsfahrzeugen ist die "kalte Verbrennung" von Wasserstoff, mit der im Auto frei von Schadstoffen der Strom für einen Elektromotor gewonnen wird, noch nicht hinausgekommen. Zwar steht derzeit der Hybridantrieb im Mittelpunkt des Interesses, doch den Brennstoffzellen-Entwicklern sind zuletzt deutliche Fortschritte bei Format, Leistung und Temperaturbeständigkeit gelungen. Der Weg in die Wirklichkeit für diese Technik wird gangbarer. Mercedes-Forschungsvorstand Thomas Weber wagt sogar eine konkrete Zeitangabe und kündigt die Marktreife der Technologie für "2012 bis 2015" an. Demnach müsste ein typischer Sternencluster fünf bis sechs Systeme wie HD 188753 hervorbringen. Unter den zehn Millionen Einfach-, Doppel- + Dreifach-Sternsystemen im Umkreis von 1600 Lichtjahren um die Erde sollten sich deshalb rund 1200 Planeten mit drei Sternen befinden, schreiben die Forscher im Fachblatt "Astrophysical Journal Letters" (Bd. 633, S. 141). Beim Blick durch sein Zehn-Meter-Teleskop erblickte er 149 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt drei Sonnen, die sich einen Planeten teilen. Eigentlich dürfte es den Planeten nämlich gar nicht geben - zumindest nicht der gängigen Theorie zufolge. Der Himmelskörper umkreist seinen Heimatstern in einer engen Umlaufbahn. Die zwei miteinander verbundenen Begleitsterne, die die Hauptsonne ebenfalls umkreisen, hätten das Baumaterial für den Gasplaneten eigentlich verbrannt haben müssen, schrieb Konacki im Juli im Magazin "Nature". Zudem empfinden selbst kritische Chinesen oft Unbehagen, wenn ihr Land von der Supermacht ermahnt wird. "Bush mag in einzelnen Punkten recht haben, aber wir wollen unsere Probleme selbst lösen", sagt eine Pekinger Ökonomin. Es ist verblüffend, dass das noch nicht früher geschehen ist. Abgesehen von unserer Sendung 'Crimewatch' gibt es keinerlei Möglichkeit, für die meisten Fälle landesweite Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen. Viele Gesuchte konnten so einfach untertauchen - bis jetzt." Crimestoppers verweisen darauf, dass sie seit ihrer Gründung 1988 über 640.000 Telefonanrufe erhalten hätten, von denen sich 57.000 als "nützlich" erwiesen oder zielführend zu Verhaftungen geführt hätten. Mittlerweile liege die Quote bei 6000 anonymen Anrufen pro Monat, von denen 500 als nützlich gewertet werden könnten. Die britische Organisation Crimestoppers veröffentlicht nach amerikanischem Vorbild ab sofort Listen mit Fotos und Angaben zu gesuchten Verbrechern. Zumindest versucht sie das: Der Service ist so populär, dass er nach wenigen Stunden unter dem Publikumsansturm zusammenbrach. Über den Sinn und Unsinn von Formaten wie "Aktenzeichen XY" lässt sich trefflich streiten. Ihre Befürworter verweisen gern auf die feststellbaren Erfolge solcher "Laien fahnden nach Verbrechern"-Sendungen, ihre Gegner darauf, wie selten diese sind gemessen an der Flut der Verdächtigungen, Fehleinschätzungen und falschen Denunziationen. Populär sind solche Sendungen aber allemal + das überall: Was das Aktenzeichen in Deutschland ist, das ist "Crimewatch" in UK + das sind die "Crimestoppers" in Amerika. "Wie finde ich die Superspreader - und vor allem mit welchem Aufwand?" Dass die Menschen unterschiedlich infektiös seien, sei keine neue Erkenntnis, sagte Ulm im Gespräch mit SPIEGEL ONLINE. 17.Nov.2005 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-385488,00.html Wenn man die Hälfte aller Gegenmaßnahmen auf jenes Fünftel der Menschen mit besonders hoher Infektionsgefahr konzentriere, wäre dies bis zu dreimal so wirksam wie eine zufällige Auswahl der Personen, bei denen Gegenmaßnahmen ergriffen würden. 17.Nov.2005 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-385488,00.html Der israelische Physiker Reuven Cohen von der Bar-Ilan-University bei Tel Aviv hat beispielsweise eine spezielle Impfstrategie entwickelt, die Epidemien mit relativ geringeren Impfquoten verhindern soll. Die Idee ist, hauptsächlich die Superspreader zu immunisieren. 17.Nov.2005 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-385488,00.html An diesen Hubs, auch Superspreader genannt, entscheidet sich, ob beispielsweise Informationen schnell verbreitet werden oder nicht. Marketingexperten versuchen beispielsweise, gezielt nur diese intellektuellen Leithammel anzusprechen, um ihre Botschaften effizient zu verbreiten. https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-385488,00.html 17.Nov.2005 Weltinformationsgipfel: Tunesien verweigert Pressefreiheits-Aktivist die Einreise 17.Nov.2005 Verlage: Regierung soll Pressefreiheit besser schützen Dennoch liegen dem Bonner Klimasekretariat vereinzelt Daten aus nicht industrialisierten Ländern vor. Während ein Land wie Tadschikistan seinen Treibhausgas-Output 00.000.1990-00.000.1998 um 82 % verminderte, legte Paraguay allein in den vier Jahren 00.000.1990-00.000.1994 um 115 % zu. Ob auch Entwicklungs- + Schwellenländer für die Zeit nach 01.Jan.2012 Reduktionsziele bekommen sollen, wird ein wichtiger Verhandlungspunkt auf der Montrealer Weltkonferenz sein. 17.Nov.2005 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/erde/0,1518,druck-385402,00.html In den einst kommunistischen Staaten wurden unzählige veraltete Industrie- und Energieanlagen abgewickelt + durch neue, effizientere ersetzt. Das färbt die Weltklimabilanz vorübergehend schön: Die Treibhausgas-Emissionen der entwickelten Länder gingen insgesamt um sechs % zurück, weil 00.000.1990-00.000.2003 der Ausstoß im ehemaligen Ostblock um volle 40 % gesunken ist. Nach den Projektionen des Klimasekretariates werden sie zwar 2010 noch immer um 18 % unter dem Niveau von 00.000.1990 liegen. Doch die westlichen Industriestaaten legen im selben Zeitraum - trotz aller Klimaschutzmaßnahmen - um fast 20 % zu, wie der neue Bericht der UN darlegt. Spanien (plus 42 % bis 2003), Portugal (+ 37%), Griechenland + Irland (beide + 26%), Finnland (+ 22%) + Österreich (+ 17%). Erst danach folgen die USA (+ 13%), die allerdings nach wie vor die mit Abstand größten Mengen an Treibhausgasen ausstoßen. Die UN legen die bisher umfassendste Untersuchung zum Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen vor - + das Ergebnis ist niederschmetternd. Anstatt zu sinken, werden die Emissionen der Uno-Prognose zufolge drastisch steigen. Internationale Klimaschutz-Abkommen wie das Kyoto-Protokoll und die Klimarahmenkonvention erweisen sich als weitgehend wirkungslos: 00.000.2010 Die Industriestaaten der Erde werden nach Prognosen derUN im Jahr knapp 11 % mehr Treibhausgase ausstoßen als noch 00.000.1990 . Das dokumentiert die bisher umfassendste Sammlung von Emissionsdaten, die das Bonner Uno-Klimasekretariat heute vorlegt. Eine Minute Kurbeln soll den Laptop für zehn Minuten Energie spenden. Wo Strom vorhanden ist, übernimmt ein Netzteil die Versorgung. Vor einigen Monaten gelang es Negroponte, Mary Lou Jepsen, bis dahin Chefentwicklerin in Intels Bildschirm-Laboren, zu einem Wechsel zu OLPC zu bewegen. Ein Durchbruch: Sie entwickelte ein Display, das angeblich für 35 statt der sonst üblichen 100 $ zu produzieren ist. 17.Nov.2005 Vorort-Krawalle: Frankreich kehrt zur Normalität zurück 17.Nov.2005 Militär: USA planen Raketenschild in Polen 17.Nov.2005 Deutschland-Prognose: EU sieht 2006 nur schlappes Wachstum |
