Do you want a broken arm or a broken leg? You are free to choose.

Ultimatum is an adversary condition when the stronger forces the weaker to lose. This can occur between two individuals or between two nations. For example, let us assume that two individuals decide to help each other–that is they decide to work together–to form an ìus”. These individuals will discover their individual preferences are constrained by their joint life. Because they share resources, they can’t both live in their favorite city, or in their favorite house, or own their favorite automobile, unless by chance they have identical favorites. The ìus” is formed to gain the power and advantage of interdependence. Interdependence´s ìdivision of labor” improves the standard of living for both, but the price for the higher standard of living is that the choices of both individuals are constrained by the needs and wants of the other.

In the adversary relationships, we experience this constraint as the ultimatum. The ultimatum is an opportunity to lose. You can lose-a-little or you can lose-a-lot, but you will lose.

Imagine, a husband comes home from work. He says to his wife,

ìWell, I lost my job today. I have had it with the bay area. We are going to move to Los Angeles, there are good jobs there.” His wife counters, ìBut, I don’t like Los Angeles. The kids and I will lose, if we have to move to Los Angeles.” The husband plays the trump card. ìWell you can either go to Los Angeles or you can get a divorce. Its up to you, but I’m moving to L.A.”

From the Horse’s Mouth

Top oil groups fail to recoup exploration costs

James Boxell

The world’s biggest oil companies are failing to get value for money when they explore for new reserves, according to research by Wood Mackenzie, the energy consultant.

<script type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript”>// <![CDATA[ if (showAd != 0){var box = new Advert("box",thisPage.ftsite,thisPage.alladparams,thisPage.issec,thisPage.wrap);document.write(box.adHTML);}// ]]></script><script src=”http://ads.ft.com/js.ng/site=ftcom&pos=box&sec=6ind&artid=6enerar&sei=XXXX&sectr=XXXX&subj=CN,CN07&ftfund=&13=&14=&17=&18=&transId=1097777586751&rsi=undefined&params.styles=artimg,arthtml”></script> <noscript></noscript>

The report shows the commercial value of oil and gas discovered over the past three years by the 10 largest listed energy groups is running well below the amount they have spent on exploration.

The findings come at a time when international oil groups are considering how far to boost exploration budgets after years of falling investment. It also comes at a time when oil prices are reaching record highs as a result of soaring demand and limited surplus supplies.

Companies are spending record levels on developing known fields in regions such as the US Gulf of Mexico, west Africa and the Caspian Sea, which should guarantee production growth until 2008.

But Robert Plummer, corporate analyst at Wood Mackenzie, said: “After that they will need more discoveries to maintain growth . . . the problem is exploration has not been generating returns.”

Royal Dutch/Shell said last month it would lift yearly exploration spending to $1.5bn, up from a five-year average of $1.2bn, as it looks to boost stagnant oil production and recover from its reserves overboooking scandal. BP has also talked about “re-loading” on exploration after a period of being focused heavily on development.

Wood Mackenzie says the top-10 oil groups spent about $8bn combined on exploration last year, but this only led to commercial discoveries with a net present value of slightly less than $4bn. The previous two years show similar, though less dramatic, shortfalls.

Mr Plummer said: “These figures will improve as more of the technical reserves discovered in these years are commercialised and initial reserve estimates are upgraded, but the value added through exploration for 2001-2003 is running well below the average for 1996-2000.”

The years 2001-2003 also saw a decline in reserves found by the top-10 oil groups after the discovery in 2000 of the vast Kashagan field in Kazakhstan.

While 2003 was inflated by a large gas discovery in Brazil by Petrobras, equivalent to 6bn barrels of oil, the trend of commercial discoveries has been downwards for three years.

Wood Mackenzie says it expects combined production at the companies to rise by 3.5 per cent yearly between now and 2008, driven by development spending on existing oil and gas fields which has risen from $34.6bn in 1998 to a record $49.5bn in 2003.

During the same period, exploration spending among the group of 10 companies fell from $11bn to $8bn, as capital discipline became the most important factor following a period of low oil prices.

Mr Plummer said even though
“companies have been slow to react”, exploration spending is likely to rise on the back of record oil prices. However, “a number of constraints will continue to act on exploration performance, the most important of which is being access to material opportunities”.

The findings reflect the fears of some companies, who claim they need greater access to Opec nations to boost reserves. Thierry Desmarest, chief executive of Total, the French oil group, recently told the FT that oil companies could not discover enough new oil to ensure supply meets demand in coming years.

(Vashon Island Press, 2000) Order now! <!– END YELLOW BOX–>		Our story is an American story. Way back in 1883, four generations ago, two brothers immigrated to America from Germany and followed their farming dream up the south fork of the Walla Walla River in North-Eastern Oregon. In 1908, one brother, our great-grandfather, moved his family down into the Walla Walla Valley along the Oregon and Washington border where we live today. In the generation that followed, our grandfather opened new ground with teams of horses and mules that he used until the 1940’s. He hired a crew of 20 men to harvest wheat, and put up hay from the fertile soils. Our grandmother cooked large meals for the men, who slept in a bunkhouse on the farmstead. They were never rich, but our grandparents managed to work long, hard hours to raise a family and make a living. Their main income came from cattle that were driven 40 miles to pastures near the Snake River, before the dams. They were never rich, but our grandparents managed to work long, hard hours to raise a family and make a living. They were good and honest people. We have, of course, reaped many benefits from their example, and have been proud of our family heritage. Over time, wagons gave way to trucks, horses gave way to tractors, and organic matter was replaced by chemical fertilizers. The new machinery required less labor and could work more land, so the work crews moved on to other jobs. Irrigation ditches channeled water from the river, and the land was producing more than ever. Wheat prices were high. There was plenty of food. These were good times. This was progress. But our grandparents’ path of progress 50 years ago, the same road that we took for much of our own lives, eventually led to unintended consequences. As it turned out, our land’s natural fertility was exhausted by the 1950’s; so fertilizers and pesticides came to the rescue. They may have allowed us to produce more for less, but they masked negative effects, which have been generations in the making. It was a Catch 22. The more we took from the land, the less the land had to give, so the more stuff we had to put on the land to get the same results. Chemicals became so commonplace and safe (we thought), that we were quickly, and, it appeared, irreversibly becoming dependent on those artificial means to boost production. It was a Catch 22. The more we took from the land, the less the land had to give, so the more stuff we had to put on the land to get the same results. Sound suspiciously like an addiction in the making? A similar phenomenon happened in the beef industry. Cattle today are 30% larger than they were in our grandfather’s day. Why? Bigger is better, right? But the more the cattle industry bred for bigger and faster growth, the more the markets were flooded with beef, contributing to flat-lining prices, further increasing pressure to produce more with less. In real dollars, the price of cattle today is worse than it was during the Great Depression. And the price of wheat is just as bad. So, we bought more land, spread more fertilizers, and increased our herds in size and number. As farming and raising cattle became less profitable, the government stepped in with price supports. This charity may have put a bandage on the wound, but in the long run helped to maintain the status quo, making us even more dependent on unnatural means to sustain our way of life. Even in hind-site, it is hard to say that we would have done anything differently. The Epiphany As our family farm limped through the 1980s and early 1990s, something happened to that would change the family farm forever. On a late summer day in ‘94, I had an epiphany. I was out burning a field of wheat stubble, trying to rid myself of what I thought at the time was the bothersome organic matter in my way, so I could plant alfalfa that fall. Only two weeks earlier I received the yield results from a crop of snap beans. I had grown them under contract for a local cannery and yielded 5 tons per acre. This was a good yield, but the cannery was only paying me $102 per ton. This came to a little over $500 per acre. Then I started to do the rest of the math per acre. Seed cost $100, fertilizer $60, water $120, weed control $35, equipment $80, land paymentÖ operating loan paymentÖ insuranceÖ interestÖ taxesÖ Everyone was making a living from my land but me. Then I started to do the rest of the math per acre. Seed cost $100, fertilizer $60, water $120, weed control $35, equipment $80, land paymentÖ operating loan paymentÖ insuranceÖ interestÖ taxesÖ Everyone was making a living from my land but me. And I saw problems on my farm that weren’t being addressed. The dirt was blowing away. The soil wasn’t holding moisture. I was forced to face the harsh truth–my farm was a failure financially, ecologically, socially and personally. The way things were going, I had to ask myself, “How long can we keep doing all this?” “Should we get out?” We watched as other long-standing farm families were forced to sell everything and move to town. Were we next? My choices were limited. Either I had to get a non-farming job to support the farm and my family, or borrow more money and increase the size of our business in the hope of spreading fixed costs over more acres and still fall further into debt. Something had to change. I watched the land burning, turning to black, rising in a dark smoke, and fading into the sky. Up with the smoke in the stubble fire went my ideas about making a living from modern commodity agriculture. So it was that I resolved to do nothing the same again. The laws of farming Joel Huesby reveals his rule book for sustainable farming Thundering Hooves is born In the months following my epiphany I reasoned, “Why grow something and make nothing when I can grow nothing and make nothing.” During the initial period of withdrawal and rehabilitation, weeds grew. The soil lashed out. It got ugly. When someone asked me what I was growing, I said, “Dirt” which, as it turned out, came to be true. The question now was, “How can I make the natural and historically abundant plant nutrients available to the chemically dependent soil once again? I had to rethink my farming practices. During the initial period of withdrawal and rehabilitation, weeds grew. The soil lashed out. It got ugly. When someone asked me what I was growing, I said, “Dirt” which, as it turned out, came to be true. In a similar fashion, my own dependence on distant and disconnected markets also prevented me from truly selling what I grew. The marketing institutions on which I had also become reliant prevented me from asking two important questions: “Who are my customers?” and “What are their needs?” I had to rethink my marketing practices. I began to read more and think more about how our family could survive and even prosper on a 225 acre farm by using the laws of nature to our benefit. Thus began several years of trial and error and lots of family meetings. For several years I farmed with draft horses and found that they could compete with the most modern farm equipment on a per unit basis. We experimented with teams of Percheron and Belgian workhorses. No more tractors flattening the soil, using fossil fuels and polluting the air with exhaust and noise. But, the horses simply could not produce enough units. I continued to look for ways to rebuild the ability of the soil to feed itself. This led me to a contract with a local paper recycling plant where I applied a two-inch mulch of waste paper fibers over the course of a year. Although the mill went bankrupt, over 34,000 tons of what was previously a waste product became part of the heath of our soil. It also saved 1,400 semi-truck loads of precious landfill space for real garbage. On the marketing side of things, we knew that we wouldn’t earn a living if we sold our product to someone else who would store it and eventually sell it to someone else who would put it on a train to somewhere where some wholesaler would sell it to a company that would use it to make something that they would sell to a retailer who would sell it to some customer 1,000 miles away. We needed a business plan that would allow us to improve the soil and work with nature’s laws (not against them), to sell directly to our customers, and, ultimately, to make enough money to raise our families on the farm. We would rotate cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and turkeys on our pastures, and market the meats directly to … consumers … The animal diversification would be wise both ecologically and economically… Then I discovered a book by Jo Robinson entitled, Why Grass Fed is Best. Robinson lays out several compelling arguments for eating meats that are finished on the pasture. She also articulates the unhealthy effects of eating beef from cattle that are fattened on grains in feedlots for the last 1 to 4 months of their lives.Adding her insights to a growing list of other literary sources, we saw a bigger picture coming into focus for us. We would rotate cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and turkeys on our pastures, and market the meats directly to a growing number of consumers who were eager for a source of healthy, locally grown foods. The animal diversification would be wise both ecologically and economically: The land would receive large amounts of organic matter. The compaction of the land would cease, as tractor-use would be minimized. Earthworms would now plow the pastures and aerate the soil. Without the seasonal harvesting, plowing and planting, a mature sod of grasses and clovers would cover the earth and enable the soil to hold moisture better. Wind could be used to pump water into small reservoirs in the fields during months when fish weren’t spawning and gravity could then distribute the water. A covered, healthier soil would discourage weeds and the goats would thrive on the few weeds that did emerge. The clovers would provide nitrogen for the grasses. Both would be converted to organic matter for the soil by the animals, and so on… Thus, Thundering Hooves was born. Sustainable progress Over the years, I came to see myself in a new light. My farm has evolved from the ground up, literally. I am only beginning to hear and understand the universal language of the soil and to listen to what the soil is telling me. It is hard to listen to the soil from the cab of a tractor. I must get on my knees. Look, smell, feel and observe. But it has not been a solo trip. Were it not for the support and encouragement from my extended family, I would not be here today. Today, we sell what we grow. We attend farmers markets in the Walla Walla and Seattle areas. We’ve handed out thousands of brochures. Chefs from local restaurants cook and demonstrate for us at the markets. My wife, Cynthia, prepares a gourmet hamburgers featuring all local buns and produce, and, of course, our ground beef patties. We offer taste tests and comparisons. We educate the public about their food purchasing choices. The coming year will bring more growth as we continue to add value and new products for our family of customers. So, ten years later, Thundering Hooves is indeed making tracks …. The fire that burned the wheat stubble … has sparked a whole new way of thinking and living for us, and things will never be the same. So, ten years later, Thundering Hooves is indeed making tracks. There are cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and turkeys roaming our pastures. We haven’t used chemical fertilizers or pesticides on our pastures since 1995. The living soil has returned. And we now enjoy many great relationships with our direct-market friends and customers. The fire that burned the wheat stubble ten years ago has sparked a whole new way of thinking and living for us, and things will never be the same. My name is Joel Huesby and I’m a recovering farmer.

We are Time-binders and the mark of human power is everywhere. When knowledge is incorporated into matter-energy, it becomes a tool. As Galambos explained:

ìHumans develop evermore powerful knowledge and therefore evermore powerful tools. When tools are used to harm other humans they are called weapons. Since human knowledge can grow without limit then tools themselves can be made without limit. And limitless tools can produce limitless weapons.” –Andrew J. Galambos 

And, limitless weapons (progress) combined with leveraged adversity (warfare) must by all definitions and understanding of science produce human extinction.

The evolution of the weapon is linked to the evolution of Time-binding. Humans create knowledge, when knowledge is embedded in matter-energy is becomes a tool. When tools are used to hurt others they become weapons. For most of our human history, our tools have been simple.

For most of our human history our weapons have been equally as simple. With the explosion of Time-binding released by Institutional Neutrality, our tools have become evermore powerful, and so have our weapons.

Our most powerful weapons today are nuclear, the following article reveals the insanity of their control by our present governments. It is reposted from the San Francisco Bay View. 

The Brink of Extinction

A Cautionary Tale

This windowless building at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard was headquarters for the super secret National Radiological Defense Laboratory. San Francisco Bay lies in the foreground with the Hunters Point neighborhood, heavily impacted by radioactive and toxic contamination, in the background. Fifteen years after the shipyard was declared a Superfund site, the Navy still has not decontaminated even the cleanest part.

This 46-acre landfill at the Hunters Point Shipyard, lying across a cove from the 49ers´ Candlestick Park stadium, is filled with radioactive and toxic waste and explosive gases. Mayor Newsom wants to give the land right beside the landfill next month to Lennar Corp. to build 1,600 new homes.

In 1995 dollars, according to the Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. has spent approximately $300 billion on nuclear weapons research, production and testing. Today in the nuclear weapons complex there are 10,500 contaminated sites, 2.3 million acres under DOE ownership, and 120 million square feet of buildings.

The DOE Environmental Management program estimates that the 1995 high base cost to clean up the environmental legacy is $350 billion. That excludes the Nevada Test Site, Hanford, the Savannah and Clinch rivers and the Columbia River, which are considered to be ìnational sacrifice zones” because the technology does not exist to clean them up.

That was the cost for cleaning up the environment. The damage to the human health, not only of Americans but also to the global population, was predicted by the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR) in a 2003 independent report on low level radiation for the European Parliament to be 61,600,000 deaths by cancer, 1,600,000 infant deaths, and 1,900,000 fetal deaths. ìIn addition, the ECRR committee predicts a 10 percent loss of life quality integrated over all diseases and conditions in those who were exposed over the period of global weapons fallout.”

The cost to the predominantly Black community living near the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco is much greater. Shortly after the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Navy established the secret Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory (NRDL) at the shipyard to study the biological effects of ionizing radiation. The premier military radiation research facility of the post-World War II era, the lab operated at the shipyard until 1969.

Operation Crossroads ships returning to the Hunters Point Shipyard following exposure to detonation of radioactive blasts were researched and decontaminated, and secret experiments exposing animals, plants, military personnel, prisoners and local residents to radiation were conducted at the NRDL, where 550 civilian scientists worked with 65 Navy officers.

The radioactive waste and dead animals from the lab were dumped on the base, which lies along the shore of San Francisco Bay. The shipyard´s largest dump, filling a stream gorge, is now a 46-acre toxic and radioactive landfill. More waste was sunk offshore not far from the Golden Gate Bridge in a battleship and 55-gallon drums, contaminating one of the richest fisheries in the world.

Studies by the San Francisco Department of Public Health have documented an inexplicably high incidence of breast cancer among Black women under the age of 40, suggesting environmental causes. Dr. Janette Sherman became a medical doctor because of her concern about radiation after experimenting with radiation on lab animals at the NRDL as a researcher there in the 1950s. Her book, ìLife´s Delicate Balance – Causes and Prevention of Breast Cancer,” identifies ionizing radiation as one of the main causes of breast cancer.

Even worse, the Radiation and Public Health Project (RPHP), while conducting studies on infant mortality and cancer around nuclear power plants, discovered that milk contaminated with radiation has been shipped into Black inner city communities – a genocidal plan which explains why Blacks have the highest cancer rates, infant mortality and asthma in the U.S., which has been blamed on poverty.

The studies using U.S. government data on radiation in milk revealed that at the time of Chernobyl the Pennsylvania Milk Board had been selectively shipping radioactive contaminated milk from dairies around the Three Mile Island and Peachbottom reactors into Black inner city communities on the East Coast (see Jay Gould, ìInfant Mortality and Milk,” a chapter in ìDeadly Deceit: Low Level Radiation, High Level Coverup”).

An RPHP study on health improvements by race in San Francisco County after the shutdown of the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant in 1989 reports that health improved for all ages, diseases and races except for Blacks. Black infant mortality also increased after startups and accidents, but unlike improvements in infant mortality for whites and Asians, which decreased after the 1989 shutdown, Black infant mortality continued to reflect startups and shutdowns at other nuclear power plants in California.

UC Regents meeting May 15, 2003: the point man

One year ago, Admiral Linton Brooks, administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) under DOE, informed California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante and the UC Regents that the management contract for the nuclear weapons labs would be put up for competitive bid for the first time, with the award to be made in 2005. When a Regent asked if it would be for all the labs or just Los Alamos, he replied that it would be for Los Alamos. Later another Regent questioned him again, and this time he said, ìIt would be inconceivable for just one lab.”

He requested a competitive bid from UC, but the Regents were now leery of the politics involved, and Brooks was challenged by a fiery Bustamante. The lieutenant governor demanded to know why UC should waste millions of dollars preparing a bid when the University of Texas was the most favored institution to get the award and had a member on the blue ribbon panel making the award decision.

Admiral Brooks also informed the Board of Regents that ìwe´re back in the bomb business” because Los Alamos had just produced the first plutonium ìpit” since Rocky Flats closed down. He indicated that they would be making ìmini-nukes” only, and nuclear weapons testing would start at the Nevada Test Site in 2005.

An hour later, and 45 miles away, he announced to Livermore employees that ìwe´re back in the bomb business” and they would be making big ones, little ones and more. By this time it seemed to me that Admiral Brooks was a slippery character, and I began to wonder why an admiral was involved.

UC Regents meeting Aug. 17, 2004: two admirals stage ‘the setup´

On Aug. 4, 2004, UC President Dynes, a physicist and consultant to Los Alamos and former chancellor of UC San Diego, and UC Regents Chair Gerald Parsky visited Los Alamos and met with employees over chronic and recent security and safety lapses at the lab. Parsky told them: ìThe regents will be left with no choice about the contract competition if we do not feel confident that you understand the importance of security, procedures and safety at the lab. If we feel that you understand this and that steps are being taken to address these issues, the regents will not only endorse competing for this contract – we will compete to win.”

During three minutes of public comment before the Regents on Aug. 17, I informed them that the lab contract was going to the University of Texas; it was a ìdone deal.” I told them that the management contract change was a chess move the Carlyle Group was making to privatize the nuclear weapons program, that Carlyle owned 70 percent of Lockheed Martin Marietta, and that Lockheed a year ago had bought Sandia Labs – they make the trigger for nuclear weapons.

When ìCarlyle” was mentioned, I noticed that the chair, Gerald Parsky, and the vice chair, Richard Blum, who is married to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, started shifting around in their chairs. Body language can say a lot. They began a disruptive and loud conversation carried on through the rest of my comments.

As a Livermore whistleblower, I commented that the loss of computer discs with classified information and missing keys had happened almost daily for 61 years under sloppy UC management, and that science fraud as well as health and safety violations had been just as bad.

During my week of security briefing at Livermore in 1989, we had been told the story of a scientist taking classified material home in his briefcase who did not notice it had fallen off the back of his bike. A merchant found the battered briefcase in an intersection, and several days later a horrified lab security employee found that every page of a lengthy report with ìCLASSIFIED” stamped on each page had been taped in the window of the merchant´s shop hoping the owner would claim his lost secret documents.

What was even more egregious, I pointed out, was an article in the July 10, 2004, issue of the Daily Mirror about the murder by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad of Robert Maxwell, a British publisher. It revealed that Maxwell, who was the former owner of the Daily Mirror, was a high level Mossad agent and had sold PROMIS software to Los Alamos with a back door for the Mossad to spy on the lab. In closing, I told the Regents that no matter who got the contract award, ìThe University of California would forever be known as the university that poisoned the world.”

As Admiral George P. Nanos, Director of the Los Alamos lab (appointed Jan. 2003), and Admiral S. Robert Foley Jr., UC vice president for laboratory management (appointed Nov. 2003), sat down at the table where the Regents waited, I began to wonder how many more Admirals were involved and why. It did not take long to find out. Admiral Foley informed the Regents about the missing CREM, computer storage devices with classified data, and acknowledged that the security lapse damaged the university’s chances of retaining its Los Alamos contract. “This erodes your position, without any question at all. It’s about as bad as it could be when you’re trying to prepare for a re-competition”. He announced that Jack Killeen had been appointed to the UC Presidents Office as special assistant for Los Alamos security: “Jack´s our guy, he was with Wackenhut and he´s our guyÖ”. Among lab employees Wackenhut was better known for ‘wacking´ lab whistleblowers like Karen Silkwood, attempting to run people like Dr. Rosalie Bertell off the road, and has a well-deserved reputation for being a nasty outfit. President Bush and his brother, Governor Jeb Bush, are known to spend time together hanging out with cronies at the Wackenhut “country club” in Florida. Admiral Nanos continued and complained that employees would not follow the security and safety rules. When Foley chimed in that there were going to be more security incidents and lapses at the lab in the future before they got it straightened out, it began to look like a setup. Regents Blum, Parsky, Connerly and a few more leaned forward and demanded to know how it was possible, and stated it was unacceptable, that there would be more security lapses. Foley should have been fired on the spot for falling down on the job. It was obvious that Nanos and Foley were there to blame the employees, justify the management change, and discourage the Regents from competing for the contract. And justification for “cleaning house” and removing the “old guard” who would stand in the way of a takeover and for what is planned for ramping up the program.

An Editorial in the Oakland Tribune the day before remarked that the NNSA was established in 1991 after the Wen Ho Lee scandal, but had failed to address real security lapses since. NNSA is in bed with the lab administrators which it supposedly is overseeing. This had been exactly my experience at Livermore in 1991 when I reported graft, fraud, corruption, contractor overcharges, and health and safety violations on the Yucca Mountain Project and Superfund Project to Richard Berta, the Western Regional Inspector in the DOE Inspector General´s office for the nuclear weapons labs, Site 51, and the Nevada Test Site. After bringing two inspectors to my house and taking my testimony, he reported to Duane Sewell, the “secrets keeper” at the lab, and Bert Hefner, lab PR person. When I called a month later to talk to Berta about the outcome, he said “we found no basis to your allegationsÖ and I got a new office with a view and new oak furniture from SewellÖ”. My allegations had been reported many times to the FBI by other more senior lab staffÖ and they were ignored as well. The Editorial concludes:

“NNSA failed miserably in its policing responsibilities. It should be reorganized or axed, and Brooks and other top officials should be replaced with more independent, less-compromised leadership.”

The meeting ended before Dr. Walter Kohn, a physicist representing the UC Faculty opposed to UC management of nuclear weapons labs, was able to speak before the Regents. Regent Sherry Lansing, CEO of Paramount Pictures, stood up and announced in a loud voice “Öoh Walter, I want to hear your presentation [at a future meeting]Ö but I have a plane to catchÖ”, and crossed the room to give him a big kiss. By this time I had decided to investigate the UC Regents and their ties to the defense industry. Later that evening, a friend told me “Öthey ARE the Carlyle GroupÖ”.

Right after the Regents meeting I contacted a group of students and a Texas State Representative Lon Burnam, opposed to the Univ. of Texas bid for the nuclear weapons management contract. A student told me about FIAT PAX, a website put together by UC Santa Cruz students listing the top 50 University recipients of defense funding for research (see below), and their ties to corporations (see below). The UC Regents with ties to the defense industry were listed with detailed bios. Parsky, the Chair, was the top fundraiser for Bush (after Ken Lay) in both Presidential election bids, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Vice Chair Blum was tied to the Carlyle Group, invested in URS Corporation (leading contractor with DOD), Korea First Bank [Carlyle is moving into Korea and taking over banks], and sits on the Board of Northwest Airlines. [A FOIA document revealed in 2001 that Northwest was the first airline to collaborate with NASA to install mind-reading technology in US airports to catch "terrorists".] Regent Lansing was a trustee of the RAND Graduate School, a branch of the RAND Corporation which had been involved in war-gaming nuclear wars between the US and the USSR, and acts as a bridge between US universities and the military. I also learned that the Carlyle Group managed large amounts of endowment funds for the University of Texas, and that CALPers, the State of California workers pension fund which is the largest in the nation owns 5.2% of Carlyle. FIAT PAX sums it up:

“The University of California’s system wide finances are incredibly entangled with weapons manufacturers. The UC’s retirement plan portfolio is invested in dozens of military-industrial contractors through stock purchases. At least five corporations within the UC retirement portfolio conduct virtually no business other than weapons manufacturing and military subcontracting, these are: General Dynamics with a UC investment of $21,471,120, Northrop Grumman for $16,125,200, Raytheon for $16,818,200, TRW for $8,327,650, and Lockheed Martin for a staggering $33,046,370.”

“It is through these informal personal, formal institutional, and financial exchanges that universities serve the warfare state and its corporate allies. Personal relationships connect military, corporate, and university personnel while bridging the divide between these institutions. Formal institutional links establish cooperation and coordination across the military-industrial-academic complex. Be they research institutes, labs, and centers, or personal relationships spanning industry-university-military, the web of connections far exceeds any attempts to quantify.”

And then I knew that the Admirals, and vested Regents, were the kiss of death to the UC bid.

ADMIRAL VISHNU BAGHWAT, FORMER CHIEF OF THE INDIAN NAVY

On July 17, 2004, Admiral Vishnu Baghwat replied to my question “Why are so many Admirals involved with the nuclear weapons contract bid?”:

“The reason why the Navy and the Admirals are predominantly involved in the weapons is that until the Space military launch posts are ready and positioned with the minimum degree of reliability, the US Navy has more than 70 % of the first and second strike capability on its boats and hence an equivalent amount of the budget earmarked for strategic systems.”

His comments made the link for me between the nuclear weapons program, the Navy, NASA, and other types of directed energy weapons developed in nuclear weapons labs intended for space. Marion Fulk, a former Manhattan Project scientist and retired Livermore nuclear physical chemist told me that nuclear weapons cannot be used in space without contaminating the atmosphere, and laser weapons will not work because there is too much space trash already up there which will impede the effectiveness of the lasers. Wars in space will create more space trash until it is impossible to leave the earth, which already according to Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, is very dangerous now since a paint chip nearly took out the windshield of the space shuttle. The US plans to weaponize space are a violation of the United Nations 1967 Outer Space Treaty: Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. The intent was “to promote international co-operation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space” and specifically prohibited the weaponization of space with ANY weapons, including nuclear weapons.

The 2001 Space Preservation Act, HR 2977 which was introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, let the cat out of the bag and revealed under the “Definitions” in the bill, that directed energy weapons which can target individuals and populations from space for the purposes of psychotronics, mind control, and mood control, are clearly the new space weapons intended to establish global dominance by the New World Order. Directed energy weapons developed in the nuclear weapons labs have been used on nuclear weapons lab whistleblowers, UC students, handed over to the EPA to use on environmentalists, and to the FBI to turn over to local law enforcement. These weapons are now land, air, and sea based. Space is the last frontier.

ADMIRAL BOBBY RAY INMAN – SPOOKS-R-US

Tipped off by a journalist in Washington DC, my investigation of Admiral Bobby Ray Inman revealed that he was THE Admiral at the center of the spider web. A look at his social network (see Namebase.org – opens in new window) helped put the ‘puzzle palace´ together, and I discovered he was National Security Advisor to five Presidents, Director of the NSA, Deputy Director of the CIA under William Casey, Vice Director of the DIA, Director of Naval Intelligence, President of SAIC, Chair of the 1985 Congressional ‘Inman Commission’ on Terrorism, affiliated with the Carlyle Group, on the advisory boards of Tufts and the University of Texas, represents SBC Communications Corporation at Cal Tech, Chairman Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, and a member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. And, Admiral Bobby Ray Inman is a member of the University of Texas faculty. One could say he is a dangerous man.

One job he didn´t get was Secretary of Defense under Clinton:

“1994: Former admiral Bobby Ray Inman, stung by press and Senate criticisms of his record, asked President Clinton to withdraw his nomination as secretary of Defense. A Clinton aide, George Stephanopoulos, later wrote that Inman had held back information during his White House background check.”

A look at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) reveals just exactly what kind of activities are undertaken in a spook shop where there is no accountability, and what business Inman was conducting at SAIC under his leadership. SAIC is one of the largest private employee-owned corporations, and like the Carlyle Group, escapes scrutiny (because it is privately owned) despite annual revenues of more than $5.9 billion. In 1990 it was indicted and pled guilty to ten felony counts of fraud on a Superfund site, called “one of the largest [cases] of environmental fraudÖ” in Los Angeles history. DOE contracted SAIC to manage and operate the Yucca Mountain Program, which I worked on as a scientist at the Livermore Lab. I became a whistleblower at Livermore in 1991 because of my knowledge of the extent of science fraud on the most important public works project in US history. SAIC´s control over internet domain names, gained when they purchased Network Solutions Inc., caused a furor and identified the ties in SAIC to “the shadow ruling-class within the Pentagon”. Basically SAIC is a private spook corporation, involved in voting machines (SEQUOIA etc.), controlling the internet (Network Solutions), training foreign militaries, and the contractor that set up global communications for the US military. The internet is being changed from a public resource to a lucrative operation influenced by spooks and former Pentagon officials. The internet was a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) project to begin with.

One of SAIC´s prime clients is DARPA (DOD), which recently employed 5-time convicted felon Admiral Poindexter, an associate of Inman´s going back to Iran-Contra. Poindexter was forced to resign over his involvement with PAM, a “terrorism futures market” DARPA project which predicted assassinations, terrorism and other events in the Middle East. His earlier controversial program TIPS – the Total Information Awareness Program – was set up to spy on Americans. He was also involved in creating large information databases on Americans which are now being used to track citizens. SAIC also had contracts to develop information systems for the Pentagon, FBI and IRS. Police can now legally stop a person on the street, ask their name, type it into a palm pilot and come up with detailed personal information in a few seconds. An Associated Press story on Sept. 9, 2004, “Conn. City Uses Scanners to Nab Criminals” revealed that police in New Haven, Connecticut, are now driving around in police cars with infrared scanners connected to databases which they are using on license plates to hunt for “criminals”, tax delinquents, and parking ticket violators. Some of the $25,000 scanners were paid for in one month from collected revenues. A military project, the real purpose of the internet is revealing itself:

“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.” – Zbigniew Brzezinski.

The association of Admiral Inman, the Bush crime syndicate, Texas oil companies, and the Carlyle Group with the University of Texas explained why an advanced 4^th generation nuclear weapons research program is there. And it explained why the University of Texas is so eager to take over the nuclear weapons labs. But this takeover resembles Inmans involvement with a stealth takeover of the Mars program transferring it from JPL management and control to NASA.

The NASA Deep Space Program was started at JPL to do space exploration more efficiently with lower costs. Criticism of NASA/JPL Mars mission failure problems in the Thomas Young Report released on March 28, 2000, revealed that the supposedly public space program had been hijacked into secrecy and that the military was calling the shots. NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin on March 29, 2000, revealed at JPL the day after release of the report, just who was in control and the existence of an oversight committee that nobody at JPL knew existed:

“I’d also like to acknowledge Admiral Inman, head of the JPL Oversight Committee at Cal Tech. He couldn’t be here today, but I talked to him by phone. His commitment to the team here is also unwavering. And I thank him for that.”

Goldin was there “to address beleaguered personnel, scientists and engineers of the Nation’s premier unmanned center for planetary exploration, and to somehow advise them of the new political and engineering realities, while simultaneously exhorting them to continue to new heights but now under more stringent NASA management”. The real question is what was Admiral Inman doing as chair of a committee in a private university overseeing all civilian unmanned exploration of the planet Mars without the knowledge of anyone at JPL?

In two years Admiral Bobby Ray Inman took over the space program, and in another year from now he will have succeeded in taking over the nuclear weapons program. When Newsweek called him “a superstar in the intelligence community”, it was for good reason.

A Naval officer I interviewed later replied when I asked him if he knew Inman “Öoh yeahÖ he´s one of the playersÖ”.

The development of 4^th generation nuclear weapons is now underway in the US (in first place), Germany and Japan (tied for second place), followed by Russia and other nuclear and non-nuclear States. As an expert witness on the environmental and health effects of depleted uranium (DU) weaponry for the International Criminal Tribunal for Afghanistan held in Japan in 2003, I discovered that there was a connection between the use of depleted uranium by the US since 1991- in the Middle East, Yugoslavia, and Central Asia – and 4^th generation nuclear weapons. [Carlucci, former Chairman of the Carlyle Group (1989-2003), sat on the Board of Directors of General Dynamics (1991-97) which is one of the main manufacturers of DU weaponry in the US.] International scientists, Drs. Andre Gsponer, J.-P. Hurni, and B. Vitali, watch-dogging nuclear weapons developments globally, pointed out that DU weaponry is being used to study the radiobiological effects of the new nuclear weapons now under development:

“It is shown that the radiological burden due to the battlefield use of circa 400 tons of depleted-uranium munitions in Iraq (and of about 40 tons in Yugoslavia) is comparable to that arising from the hypothetical use of more than 600 kt (respectively 60 kt) of high-explosive equivalent pure-fusion fourth-generation nuclear weapons.”

The use of weapons in war are most effective when the weapons do not kill, but create long-term health and environmental consequences such as lingering illnesses which slowly destroy the health of the environment and productivity of a nation and the economy. The use of Agent Orange in Vietnam is a good example of an environmental disaster with lingering and long-term health effects on a population, as well as causing trans-boundary contamination. DU is a permanent terrain contaminant with a half-life of 4.5 billion years, forms immense volumes of nano-sized particles (smaller than bacteria or viruses) which are lofted permanently as components of atmospheric dust traveling around the world until they are rained or snowed out of the air. There is no possible protective clothing, air filters, or treatment for internal exposure to this form of a poison radioactive gas. It was proposed as a military poison gas weapon in 1943 under the Manhattan Project. Even worse, uranium targets the DNA, and the Master Code (histone) which controls the expression of the DNA, and slowly destroys the genetic future of exposed populations. The US CODE, TITLE 50 > CHAPTER 40 > Sec. 2302, defines a Weapon of Mass Destruction as:

The term ”weapon of mass destruction” means any weapon or device that is intended, or has the capability, to cause death or serious bodily injury to a significant number of people through the release, dissemination, or impact of – (A) toxic or poisonous chemicals or their precursors; (B) a disease organism; or (C) radiation or radioactivity.

The US has staged four nuclear wars since 1991 using illegal DU dirty bombs, dirty missiles and dirty bullets as radiological weapons and released an amount of radiation into the atmosphere which is at least ten times more radiation than the equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs, released during atmospheric testing. In June 2003, the WHO predicted in a press release that cancer will increase 50% globally by the year 2020, which can only be from an environmental cause. Already medical and scientific journals are reporting mysterious increases of infant mortality in 20 regions of Europe (Lancet Jan. 2004), the UK (Guardian Aug. 2004), and the US (New Scientist Feb.2004). Infant mortality should be decreasing now as a continuing trend for more than a century because of improved education and prenatal care, instead it is increasing in the US for the first time in 45 years with no identified cause. For radiation specialists, infant mortality is the most sensitive indicator of radioactive pollution, a response researchers have identified as a result of exposure to low level radiation from atmospheric testing and nuclear power plant accidents, releases, and startups. The global pollution from thousands of tons of DU in nano-size particles traveling around the earth and being deposited in the global environment will have a devastating long-term effect. Not only will it cause illnesses and genetic mutations in the future generations of those internally exposed, but it will have a depopulating effect long proposed by the US military. DU is the perfect weapon delivering nanoparticles of poison, radiation, and nano-pollution – the real killer – directly into living cells where they cause the cells to go haywire and dysfunctional:

“Should humans be so stupid as to continue both technological escalation and wars between nation-states, radiological warfare might well be a far more safe and humane way to conduct extermination of large numbers of people, or the emptying out of troublesome political centres, than any of the various biological alternatives.”

Research on population control is now being carried out secretly by biotech companies. Dr. Ignacio Chapela, a University of California microbiologist discovered that wild corn in remote parts of Mexico is contaminated with lab altered DNA. He was denied tenure at UC Berkeley when he reported this to the scientific community, despite the embarrassing discovery that the Chancellor denying him tenure was getting large cash payments from a biotech company each year. Chapela revealed that a spermicidal corn developed by a US company is now being tested in Mexico. Males who unknowingly eat the corn produce non-viable sperm.

Depopulation is quite another thing. It is killing off large segments of living populations. Even Prince Philip of Britain, a member of the Bilderberg Group, is in favor of depopulation:

“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”

- Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, leader of the World Wildlife Fund – quoted in ‘Are You Ready For Our New Age Future?’, Insiders Report, American Policy Center, December ‘95)

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been proposing, funding, and building BioWeapons Level 3 and Level 4 labs at many places around the US – even on university campuses and in densely populated urban locations. In a BioWeapons Level 4 facility a single bacteria or virus is lethal.

For what purpose are these labs being developed, and who will make the decisions on where BioWeapons created in these facilities will be used and on whom? More than 20 world-class microbiologists have been murdered since 2001, mostly in the US and the UK – nearly all were working on developing ethnic specific BioWeapons.

Citizens around the US are frantically filing lawsuits to stop these labs on campuses and in communities where they live. Despite the opposition of residents living near UC Davis, where a BioWeapons Level 4 lab was planned with the support of the town Mayor, she suddenly reversed her position after a monkey escaped from a high security primate facility. When residents claimed that if UC Davis could not keep monkeys from escaping from their cages, they certainly could not guarantee that a single virus or bacteria would not escape from a test tube. The escaped monkey killed the project.

The extreme secrecy surrounding the takeover of nuclear weapons, NASA and the space program, and BioWeapons labs is a threat to civil society, especially in the hands of the military and corporations.

The New World Order can be described as a network of members of the Bilderberger Group, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the Trilateral Commission. The membership in both the CFR and the Trilateral Commission by Admiral Bobby Ray Inman is of particular interest in light of the developments surrounding control by the military of the US nuclear weapons program and the NASA space program.

“The Council on Foreign Relations is the American Branch of a society which originated in EnglandÖ (and)Öbelieves national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule establishedÖ.

“The Trilateral Commission is internationalÖ(and)Öis intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States.”

With No Apologies (1979) by former Senator Barry Goldwater

“The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission – founded by Brzezinski for David Rockefeller – and the Bilderberger Group, have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens.”

- Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D., former German defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO Secretary General Manfred Werner.

At this time in history, it is incomprehensible how a nation can enjoy the benefit of the most sophisticated communications technology in world history and remain so uninformedÖ or dumbed down. The policies being carried out by the US government that are destructive, both domestically and around the world, are being conducted under a veil of secrecy. The only possible way this dumbing down or control of information could occur is that it has been socially constructed. It is a conspiracy of lies, manipulation and disinformation which increasing numbers of Americans are aware of and should be calling it treason:

“The Rockefeller family has always taken a lead role in the CFR. In the 1960s, while American men and women were dying in the jungles of Vietnam and while the military/industrial complex was sucking trillions of dollars out of American taxpayers’ wallets, the Rockefeller dynasty was financing Vietnamese oil refineries and aluminum plants. If there had ever been a formal declaration of war, the Rockefellers could be tried for treason. Instead, they reaped dividends.

These are just a few of the abuses of power which demonstrate the results of the power elite’s manipulations of our destiny as a society. If you’ve ever wondered why you don’t hear about this network of power, just take a look at the CFR’s membership roster. Many of the chief executives and newspeople at CBS, NBC/RCA, ABC, the Public Broadcast Service, the Associated Press, the New York Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek, the Washington Post, and many other key media outlets are CFR members. International power orgs depend on the masses remaining ignorant for their plans to come to fruition.”

David Rockefeller, a member of the Bilderberger´s, thanked the media facilitators:

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years….It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”

- David Rockefeller speaking at the Bilderberger meeting in June 1991 in Baden Baden, Germany

“Some people say Domenici is a sucker for big science. And they may be right.”

-Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM), when asked at a press conference last week if his vigorous support for his state´s Los Alamos National Laboratory had helped create a culture of complacency that contributed to last month´s security and safety lapses.

In 1991, Richard Berta, the Western Regional Inspector for the Department of Energy at the nuclear weapons labs and the Nevada Test Site, told me:

“The nuclear weapons labs exist for the PentagonÖ and the Pentagon exists for the oil companiesÖ”

It is inappropriate for a university to be in control of nuclear weapons research and management. University of California faculty have long opposed UC management of the labs, supported by a majority of the students. UC is now in the position of managing, developing, proliferating, investing in, and profiting from Weapons of Mass Destruction. The fact that UC investments of $33,046,370 in Lockheed Martin Marietta (70% owned by Carlyle), and $21,471,120 in General Dynamics – one of the two biggest US manufacturers of DU weaponry which has been sold to 29 countries, make UC complicit in war crimes. Students and faculty should be informed of this. The State of California employee pension fund owns 5.2% of the Carlyle Group.

The military, should NEVER be in control of ANY nuclear weapons program, it should ALWAYS be in civilian hands. And the Carlyle Group, a private corporation with vested interests and ties to oil companies, has NEVER been investigated or subjected to ANY oversight whatsoever, and for that reason should not have any control or influence over US nuclear weapons policy and development. Admiral Bobby Ray Inman and his associates in the intelligence business have demonstrated their systematic abuse of the internet, voting machines, and American civil liberties. Should we give them the trigger, the nukes, the budget they want, and the cover of secrecy? I don´t think so.

Management and oversight of the nuclear weapons labs belongs at the National Science Foundation, a US government agency, with the resources to make rational decisions and reign in the planned unlimited proliferation of nuclear weapons on earth and in space.

“There is a toxic quality to war that affects the inner life of individuals and, as a collective consequence, the society itself. In the degradation and dehumanization of the individual lies the destruction of all mankind.”

- Butler Shaffer
