COGNITIONS OF A LIBERATED SCIENTOLOGIST
by "tannman1" <tannman1@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Aug 11, 2003 at 03:51 AM
I do not believe Earthlink is a front for Scientology. Granted it's founder
Sky Davis was a cult member he is no longer in any position of power.
Recently Earthlink merged with Mindspring further diluting any past Scieno
dealings. Being a former Earthlink employee I was never exposed or offered
any type of scieno membership nor was it ever brought to my attention.
Earthlink is no longer based in Pasadena Ca but has relocated in Atlanta
Ga
where Mindspring was based as per the merger agreeement. Please re
evaluate
the CO$ and Earthlink as Earthlink is now a different corp with the
merger.

Terrorists Blow Themselves Up!
At least three suspects in the Madrid railway bombings blew themselves up Saturday as police prepared to storm their apartment. One special forces agent was killed in the explosion and 15 police officers were wounded.
The blast in Leganes, a southern suburb of Madrid, blew out part of the exterior walls on the first and second floors of the brick apartment building.
Police had approached the building at around 7 p.m. to make arrests as part of an escalating manhunt for those responsible for the March 11 bombings that killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800.
The suspects spotted the police from a window and shot at them, chanting loudly in Arabic, the Interior Ministry said. No police officers were hurt by the gunfire.
Over the next two hours, police evacuated as many people as they could from the building and surrounding area and prepared for an assault on the apartment.
"The special police agents prepared to storm the building and when they started to execute the plan, the terrorists set off a powerful explosion, blowing themselves up," Interior Minister Angel Acebes said.
"There are three that could have blown themselves up, but the possibility of more is not ruled out," he said.
The news agency Europa Press said forensic experts were searching the building's swimming pool for remains of a possible fourth suspect, but the report could immediately be confirmed.
Police believe some of the suspects may have carried out the March 11 train bombings, Acebes said.
After the blast, floodlights lit up the wreckage in the exposed rooms of the building. Pieces of concrete littered the floors and wires dangled from the ceilings.
Leganes is a city of 175,000 people about 10 miles southwest of central Madrid.
The investigation into the March 11 attacks have focused on the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, which has links to al-Qaida.
Judge Juan del Olmo, the investigating magistrate, has issued international arrest warrants for five Moroccans and a Tunisian, identified as Sarhane Ben Abdelmajid Fakhet and described as the leader of the bombers.
Another 15 suspects are already in custody. Six have been charged with mass murder and nine with collaborating with or belonging to a terrorist organization. Eleven of the 15 charged are Moroccan.
Earlier Saturday, Acebes said a bomb found under the tracks of a high-speed train line on Friday was made of the same brand of explosive, Goma 2 Eco, that was used in the Madrid train attacks.
However, he said it was still too early to name any suspects. Goma 2, often used for demolition and in mining, is relatively easy to get in Spain.
"It's the same type of explosive and it's the same brand," Acebes said of the 26-pound bomb. The bomb was planted about 40 miles south of Madrid, and its discovery stopped six bullet trains using the Madrid-Seville line.
Train service resumed Saturday, but soldiers, police and Civil Guard officers could be seen patrolling the targeted rail lines. Sunday is the start of Holy Week, when many Spaniards take vacation or travel to their hometowns for the Easter holiday.
Because the bag containing the bomb was dry and the ground was wet, authorities believe it was placed at the scene Friday. A 450-foot-long cable was attached to the detonator.
The rail line where the bomb was found mainly serves Spain's AVE bullet trains, which have a top speed of 190 mph, although some slower trains also use it.
Another bomb was found half-buried beneath a French railroad track on March 24 about 100 miles southeast of Paris, triggering a massive inspection of France's rail network. Authorities have not said whether they suspect any connection to the bombs in Spain.
The Spanish government's main suspect in the March 11 attacks, the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, is related to a group suspected in last year's Casablanca bombings, which killed 45 people including 12 suicide bombers.
Spain has been a major U.S. ally in Iraq (news - web sites) and has been warned previously by al-Qaida that it would be the target of terrorism for its support.
The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported Saturday that the Spanish Embassy in Egypt received a letter from an Islamic militant group threatening new attacks if Spain did not withdraw its troops from Iraq and Afghanistan (news - web sites).
In the letter, the Brigade of Abu Hafs al-Masri, a group that also claimed responsibility for the March 11 attacks, threatened to strike against Spanish diplomatic missions in North Africa and the Mediterranean region unless Spanish troops are withdrawn in four weeks.
A Spanish diplomat in Cairo, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the embassy received a threatening letter signed by Abu Hafs after the commuter train attacks last month.
The United States believes the Abu Hafs group lacks credibility and has only tenuous ties to al-Qaida. In the past, the group has claimed responsibility for events to which they were not connected — such as last summer's blackouts in North America and Britain.
Flashmobs Feared by Federali's.
Flashmobs are being organized for stunts soon to strike at a Federal Reserve Bank near you.
Hundreds of area technophiles joined laptops Saturday in an attempt to create a computing force on par with the world's most powerful supercomputers.
The experiment organized by researchers at the University of San Francisco was designed to determine whether a gymnasium full of off-the-shelf personal computers networked together can muster enough power to process the most complex research problems.
Organizers hoped to break into the ranks of the world's top 500 supercomputers through the event, which they called "Flashmob Supercomputing."
"Flashmob is about democratizing supercomputing," said John Witchel, a graduate student at USF who codeveloped the concept. "It's about giving supercomputing power to the people so that we can decide how we want supercomputers to be used."
Supercomputers perform highly sophisticated functions, such as predicting weather patterns, modeling biological processes or animating movies. Most are run by government laboratories or big corporations because they are expensive, costing $25 million to $1 billion.
Saturday's flashmob event was a dry run designed to measure how much computing power could be generated, rather than tackle a specific task.
The term "flashmob" comes from the spontaneous Internet-organized gatherings that gained popularity last year. During the events, hundreds of people suddenly appear at a predetermined location, perform a wacky stunt — such as wearing purple hats or spinning in circles — then quickly disperse, leaving bystanders scratching their heads.
Saturday's event was not the first time citizens have pooled their computing power. For example, the SETI(at)home project has created a virtual supercomputer through Internet-connected PCs to search for signs of extraterrestrial life.
Organizers hope the Flashmob concept can eventually be applied to problems requiring high-powered computing such as the study of global warming or AIDS research.

The Ranting Research Rumblings of a Raging Revolutionary
Are we witnessing a repeat of history - when will we ever learn?
The Mongol invasions changed conditions in the Near East dramatically. Baghdad was in ruins and the Abbasid Caliphate was gone. The Assassins were reduced to a few strongholds in Syria. The young Mameluk sultanate was now the leading power in the region, and it was this power, wealthy and relatively independent of the complex politics that dogged Aleppo and Damascus, that would lead the final offensive against the Franj.

The Real Meaning of Jyhad
In 654 AH / 1256 AD the Mongols ruled by Hulagu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan, seized and destroyed Alamut. This defeat was not only a severe loss of many thousand brave soldiers, it was utterly needless. The war was no matter of our Jyhad. The reasons for the Mongols lay only in territorial gains and thereby worldly power. Thereupon the elders of the Clan discussed the subject again and arrived at the decision never again to build an army like that but fight the Jyhad with silent strengh and not exposed forces. Worthy humans were integrated in the Clan and embraced. The army was disbanded, first in Persia then 670 AH / 1272 AD in Syria.
However, the deeds became legendary all over the globe. Many orders in the world tried to imitate the army over past centuries, but none was effective. The word Assassins even became a synonym for professional killers in many Camarilla influenced languages. Since these nights the kafir know what Jyhad really means - war till death do us part.

Can Psychic Assasins Stop the Wars Raging on Earth?
Hell is paved with good intentions.
Never has that old axiom been better illustrated than in W. Adam Mandelbaum’s The Psychic Battlefield.
Mr. Mandelbaum has the benefit of detailing a fascinating subject with a cult-like following, semi-reputable members (the CIA, for one), and plenty of glamour and intrigue. The Psychic Battlefield, as a chronicle of “the military-occult complex,” is of interest to those curious about tradecraft and tactics, or to those who have faith in or a need to understand what compels humans to dabble in the darker sciences.
Mr. Mandelbaum’s answer to that problem is simple: If it can be done, it will. The occult is a science, he predicates. It is not a myth, a hoax, or a game. And, like any science, a willing individual can be trained to take advantage of his or her natural ability. Just as some excel at chemistry and others physics, members of this exclusive, though growing, club have a special capacity for “remote viewing”. A simple operation in itself, RV is a method of infiltrating an enemy’s facilities and taking mental pictures of words and objects from, as the name declares, a remote location.
Mr. Mandelbaum, a former intelligence officer, advises that savvy countries, including the USA and now-defunct USSR, embraced the concept of psychic spying. He stipulates, however, that the practice is not a new one. Common knowledge has it that both British and German World War II-era commanders used the occult to attempt to peer into the future and foresee the fate of their causes. Indeed, antiquity’s “scientists” spent a good deal of time researching the power of sex in relation to strengthened mental perception. And, as The Psychic Battlefield opines, the conclusion that a cross in the sky is somehow more credible than a sign in the cards is due in great measure to cultural indoctrination.
In 1977, U.S. involvement in RV and psychic research took a compelling turn with the completion of the Kress report, a product of CIA sponsored research at Stanford Research Institute. The recently declassified material affirmed the actuality of psychic phenomena and the necessity for preparing a new breed of soldier to engage in and perhaps countermand RV and other forms of psychic spying. In the 1980s, The Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, in conjunction with SRI, became the backdrop for the expedient training of combatants for this new type of warfare.

The history of the Assasins is well known to military leaders.
The Motto of The U.S. Navy Seals Stealth Assasins (SSA)
PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY, PRIDE IS FOREVER
Hassan Ben Sabbah conditioned and organized a band of fearless political killers such as had never been seen before.26 His method of indoctrination was unique.vii He constructed a secret garden and furnished it with all the delights promised in the Koran…to the faithful when they reached paradise. The chosen were drugged, one or two at a time, and taken to this garden by night. When they woke up in the morningviii they were surrounded by beautiful and scantily clad houris [in Muslim belief, women who live with the blessed in paradise27] who would minister to their every need and desire. After being allowed to savor this false — but pleasant and sensual — paradise for a day or so, they were again drugged before being taken back to awaken in their own squalid hovel or cave dwelling. To them, it was as if it had been a vivid dream. Ben Sabbah then sent for them, told them Allah had given them a preview of paradise, and surprised them by telling them exactly what each had been up to while in the secret garden. So successful was he in this method of conditioning and indoctrination that it was said he once astounded a visiting emir whom he wanted to impress with his power by sending for one of his men and ordering him to kill himself — which he immediately did.28 When an Assassin was sent out by ibn-al-Sabbah to carry out some violent death, the Assassin was just as dedicated. So convinced were the Assassins that they would be rewarded in paradise that they never hesitated to fulfill their missions of murder, even though this often meant their victims’ bodyguards would kill them immediately afterward.

Regarding Bush and Cheney?
If you could throw them out of office how would you do it? it would be easier to pull them down than to throw them out. There are at least a million people in this country who now believe that Bush and Cheney and their entire cabinet should be impeached. Why has the process not started? Who is getting paid to keep them in power? Who keeps the military industrial financial media complex in place?
Death for Money - Money for Death
"Actually, if you count up all the wars since the beginning of time, you begin to see why we have not yet reached the stars.
As long as man values his pocket book more than he does a human life there will be more death and destruction....it will never end.
As long as humans value the taking of life for money humanity will be hindered in their evolution. Maybe another ten thousand years of wars will teach man a lesson.
Some of us "Hungarians who came from Mars" remember what happened there. There was a nuclear holacaust that wiped out the whole planet millions of years ago. Mankind has not learned these lessons for hundreds of millions of years. Why would anything be any different in the coming century.
There are less than 20 million Hungarians left in the world after 1,000 years of wars. There are less than 2 million Latvians left in the world after 500 years of wars.
Perhaps there will be less than a million people left in the world after another thousand years of wars on this planet, we may not get the chance to live another million years. Humanity is a failed experiment of the gods.
The more things seem to change the more they stay the same.
So many arguments, so much fighting, so much pain and destruction...I think it is high time for me to leave this world."

A former intelligence professional sheds new light on the obscure intersection of the military and the paranormal--the military-occult complex--and reveals the incredible story of psychic abilities turned into a weapon of war by the world's soldiers and spies.
In the annals of military and espionage history, many strange tales have been told, but none can match the saga of psychic espionage-the history of the military-occult complex. With the flavor of fiction, yet with its foundation in fact, The Psychic Battlefield is the complete history of the use of man's extrasensory powers in search of the information needed to win wars--hot and cold.
The Psychic Battlefield spans the five-thousand-year history of ESPionage, from the attempted overthrow of the Pharaoh Rameses by magic to the CIA's use of military-trained psychics during the Cold War. It is a story as true as it is incredible.
The cast of characters includes such noteworthy names as sorcerer-poet Aleister Crowley, author Ian Fleming, spoon-bending General Stubblebine, and psychic warrior David Morehouse. In addition, the book features an exclusive interview with top psychic spy Joseph McMoneagle.
Most remarkable of all is Mandelbaum's fascinating expose of the paranormal research and remote-viewing experiments conducted by the CIA, as well as the real effectiveness of the government's Stargate program.
Attorney, psychic, former intelligence professional, and dark-side investigative reporter, W. Adam Mandelbaum clearly demonstrates that the final frontier of future wars and spies is the mind. Stay tuned.

Supercomputers perform highly sophisticated functions, such as predicting weather patterns, modeling biological processes or animating movies. Most are run by government laboratories or big corporations because they are expensive, costing $25 million to $1 billion.
Saturday's flashmob event was a dry run designed to measure how much computing power could be generated, rather than tackle a specific task.
The term "flashmob" comes from the spontaneous Internet-organized gatherings that gained popularity last year. During the events, hundreds of people suddenly appear at a predetermined location, perform a wacky stunt — such as wearing purple hats or spinning in circles — then quickly disperse, leaving bystanders scratching their heads.
Saturday's event was not the first time citizens have pooled their computing power. For example, the SETI(at)home project has created a virtual supercomputer through Internet-connected PCs to search for signs of extraterrestrial life.
Organizers hope the Flashmob concept can eventually be applied to problems requiring high-powered computing such as the study of global warming or AIDS research.
Global Death Rate Soon to Exceed Global Birth Rate at This Rate
The Ranting Research Rumblings of a Raging Revolutionary
Are we witnessing a repeat of history - when will we ever learn?
The Mongol invasions changed conditions in the Near East dramatically. Baghdad was in ruins and the Abbasid Caliphate was gone. The Assassins were reduced to a few strongholds in Syria. The young Mameluk sultanate was now the leading power in the region, and it was this power, wealthy and relatively independent of the complex politics that dogged Aleppo and Damascus, that would lead the final offensive against the Franj.

The Real Meaning of Jyhad
In 654 AH / 1256 AD the Mongols ruled by Hulagu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan, seized and destroyed Alamut. This defeat was not only a severe loss of many thousand brave soldiers, it was utterly needless. The war was no matter of our Jyhad. The reasons for the Mongols lay only in territorial gains and thereby worldly power. Thereupon the elders of the Clan discussed the subject again and arrived at the decision never again to build an army like that but fight the Jyhad with silent strengh and not exposed forces. Worthy humans were integrated in the Clan and embraced. The army was disbanded, first in Persia then 670 AH / 1272 AD in Syria.
However, the deeds became legendary all over the globe. Many orders in the world tried to imitate the army over past centuries, but none was effective. The word Assassins even became a synonym for professional killers in many Camarilla influenced languages. Since these nights the kafir know what Jyhad really means - war till death do us part.

Can Psychic Assasins Stop the Wars Raging on Earth?
Hell is paved with good intentions.
Never has that old axiom been better illustrated than in W. Adam Mandelbaum’s The Psychic Battlefield.
Mr. Mandelbaum has the benefit of detailing a fascinating subject with a cult-like following, semi-reputable members (the CIA, for one), and plenty of glamour and intrigue. The Psychic Battlefield, as a chronicle of “the military-occult complex,” is of interest to those curious about tradecraft and tactics, or to those who have faith in or a need to understand what compels humans to dabble in the darker sciences.
Mr. Mandelbaum’s answer to that problem is simple: If it can be done, it will. The occult is a science, he predicates. It is not a myth, a hoax, or a game. And, like any science, a willing individual can be trained to take advantage of his or her natural ability. Just as some excel at chemistry and others physics, members of this exclusive, though growing, club have a special capacity for “remote viewing”. A simple operation in itself, RV is a method of infiltrating an enemy’s facilities and taking mental pictures of words and objects from, as the name declares, a remote location.
Mr. Mandelbaum, a former intelligence officer, advises that savvy countries, including the USA and now-defunct USSR, embraced the concept of psychic spying. He stipulates, however, that the practice is not a new one. Common knowledge has it that both British and German World War II-era commanders used the occult to attempt to peer into the future and foresee the fate of their causes. Indeed, antiquity’s “scientists” spent a good deal of time researching the power of sex in relation to strengthened mental perception. And, as The Psychic Battlefield opines, the conclusion that a cross in the sky is somehow more credible than a sign in the cards is due in great measure to cultural indoctrination.
In 1977, U.S. involvement in RV and psychic research took a compelling turn with the completion of the Kress report, a product of CIA sponsored research at Stanford Research Institute. The recently declassified material affirmed the actuality of psychic phenomena and the necessity for preparing a new breed of soldier to engage in and perhaps countermand RV and other forms of psychic spying. In the 1980s, The Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, in conjunction with SRI, became the backdrop for the expedient training of combatants for this new type of warfare.

The Motto of The U.S. Navy Seals Stealth Assasins (SSA)
PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY, PRIDE IS FOREVER
Hassan Ben Sabbah conditioned and organized a band of fearless political killers such as had never been seen before.26 His method of indoctrination was unique.vii He constructed a secret garden and furnished it with all the delights promised in the Koran…to the faithful when they reached paradise. The chosen were drugged, one or two at a time, and taken to this garden by night. When they woke up in the morningviii they were surrounded by beautiful and scantily clad houris [in Muslim belief, women who live with the blessed in paradise27] who would minister to their every need and desire. After being allowed to savor this false — but pleasant and sensual — paradise for a day or so, they were again drugged before being taken back to awaken in their own squalid hovel or cave dwelling. To them, it was as if it had been a vivid dream. Ben Sabbah then sent for them, told them Allah had given them a preview of paradise, and surprised them by telling them exactly what each had been up to while in the secret garden. So successful was he in this method of conditioning and indoctrination that it was said he once astounded a visiting emir whom he wanted to impress with his power by sending for one of his men and ordering him to kill himself — which he immediately did.28 When an Assassin was sent out by ibn-al-Sabbah to carry out some violent death, the Assassin was just as dedicated. So convinced were the Assassins that they would be rewarded in paradise that they never hesitated to fulfill their missions of murder, even though this often meant their victims’ bodyguards would kill them immediately afterward.

Regarding Bush and Cheney?
If you could throw them out of office how would you do it? it would be easier to pull them down than to throw them out. There are at least a million people in this country who now believe that Bush and Cheney and their entire cabinet should be impeached. Why has the process not started? Who is getting paid to keep them in power? Who keeps the military industrial financial media complex in place?
Death for Money - Money for Death
"Actually, if you count up all the wars since the beginning of time, you begin to see why we have not yet reached the stars.
As long as man values his pocket book more than he does a human life there will be more death and destruction....it will never end.
As long as humans value the taking of life for money humanity will be hindered in their evolution. Maybe another ten thousand years of wars will teach man a lesson.
Some of us "Hungarians who came from Mars" remember what happened there. There was a nuclear holacaust that wiped out the whole planet millions of years ago. Mankind has not learned these lessons for hundreds of millions of years. Why would anything be any different in the coming century.
There are less than 20 million Hungarians left in the world after 1,000 years of wars. There are less than 2 million Latvians left in the world after 500 years of wars.
Perhaps there will be less than a million people left in the world after another thousand years of wars on this planet, we may not get the chance to live another million years. Humanity is a failed experiment of the gods.
The more things seem to change the more they stay the same.
So many arguments, so much fighting, so much pain and destruction...I think it is high time for me to leave this world."

A former intelligence professional sheds new light on the obscure intersection of the military and the paranormal--the military-occult complex--and reveals the incredible story of psychic abilities turned into a weapon of war by the world's soldiers and spies.
In the annals of military and espionage history, many strange tales have been told, but none can match the saga of psychic espionage-the history of the military-occult complex. With the flavor of fiction, yet with its foundation in fact, The Psychic Battlefield is the complete history of the use of man's extrasensory powers in search of the information needed to win wars--hot and cold.
The Psychic Battlefield spans the five-thousand-year history of ESPionage, from the attempted overthrow of the Pharaoh Rameses by magic to the CIA's use of military-trained psychics during the Cold War. It is a story as true as it is incredible.
The cast of characters includes such noteworthy names as sorcerer-poet Aleister Crowley, author Ian Fleming, spoon-bending General Stubblebine, and psychic warrior David Morehouse. In addition, the book features an exclusive interview with top psychic spy Joseph McMoneagle.
Most remarkable of all is Mandelbaum's fascinating expose of the paranormal research and remote-viewing experiments conducted by the CIA, as well as the real effectiveness of the government's Stargate program.
Attorney, psychic, former intelligence professional, and dark-side investigative reporter, W. Adam Mandelbaum clearly demonstrates that the final frontier of future wars and spies is the mind. Stay tuned.
Flashmobs Feared by Federali's.
Flashmobs are being organized for stunts soon to strike at a Federal Reserve Bank near you.
Hundreds of area technophiles joined laptops Saturday in an attempt to create a computing force on par with the world's most powerful supercomputers.
The experiment organized by researchers at the University of San Francisco was designed to determine whether a gymnasium full of off-the-shelf personal computers networked together can muster enough power to process the most complex research problems.
Organizers hoped to break into the ranks of the world's top 500 supercomputers through the event, which they called "Flashmob Supercomputing."
"Flashmob is about democratizing supercomputing," said John Witchel, a graduate student at USF who codeveloped the concept. "It's about giving supercomputing power to the people so that we can decide how we want supercomputers to be used."

The Motto of The U.S. Navy Seals Stealth Assasins (SSA)
PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY, PRIDE IS FOREVER
Hassan Ben Sabbah conditioned and organized a band of fearless political killers such as had never been seen before.26 His method of indoctrination was unique.vii He constructed a secret garden and furnished it with all the delights promised in the Koran…to the faithful when they reached paradise. The chosen were drugged, one or two at a time, and taken to this garden by night. When they woke up in the morningviii they were surrounded by beautiful and scantily clad houris [in Muslim belief, women who live with the blessed in paradise27] who would minister to their every need and desire. After being allowed to savor this false — but pleasant and sensual — paradise for a day or so, they were again drugged before being taken back to awaken in their own squalid hovel or cave dwelling. To them, it was as if it had been a vivid dream. Ben Sabbah then sent for them, told them Allah had given them a preview of paradise, and surprised them by telling them exactly what each had been up to while in the secret garden. So successful was he in this method of conditioning and indoctrination that it was said he once astounded a visiting emir whom he wanted to impress with his power by sending for one of his men and ordering him to kill himself — which he immediately did.28 When an Assassin was sent out by ibn-al-Sabbah to carry out some violent death, the Assassin was just as dedicated. So convinced were the Assassins that they would be rewarded in paradise that they never hesitated to fulfill their missions of murder, even though this often meant their victims’ bodyguards would kill them immediately afterward.

Regarding Bush and Cheney?
If you could throw them out of office how would you do it? it would be easier to pull them down than to throw them out. There are at least a million people in this country who now believe that Bush and Cheney and their entire cabinet should be impeached. Why has the process not started? Who is getting paid to keep them in power? Who keeps the military industrial financial media complex in place?
Death for Money - Money for Death
"Actually, if you count up all the wars since the beginning of time, you begin to see why we have not yet reached the stars.
As long as man values his pocket book more than he does a human life there will be more death and destruction....it will never end.
As long as humans value the taking of life for money humanity will be hindered in their evolution. Maybe another ten thousand years of wars will teach man a lesson.
Some of us "Hungarians who came from Mars" remember what happened there. There was a nuclear holacaust that wiped out the whole planet millions of years ago. Mankind has not learned these lessons for hundreds of millions of years. Why would anything be any different in the coming century.
There are less than 20 million Hungarians left in the world after 1,000 years of wars. There are less than 2 million Latvians left in the world after 500 years of wars.
Perhaps there will be less than a million people left in the world after another thousand years of wars on this planet, we may not get the chance to live another million years. Humanity is a failed experiment of the gods.
The more things seem to change the more they stay the same.
So many arguments, so much fighting, so much pain and destruction...I think it is high time for me to leave this world."

A former intelligence professional sheds new light on the obscure intersection of the military and the paranormal--the military-occult complex--and reveals the incredible story of psychic abilities turned into a weapon of war by the world's soldiers and spies.
In the annals of military and espionage history, many strange tales have been told, but none can match the saga of psychic espionage-the history of the military-occult complex. With the flavor of fiction, yet with its foundation in fact, The Psychic Battlefield is the complete history of the use of man's extrasensory powers in search of the information needed to win wars--hot and cold.
The Psychic Battlefield spans the five-thousand-year history of ESPionage, from the attempted overthrow of the Pharaoh Rameses by magic to the CIA's use of military-trained psychics during the Cold War. It is a story as true as it is incredible.
The cast of characters includes such noteworthy names as sorcerer-poet Aleister Crowley, author Ian Fleming, spoon-bending General Stubblebine, and psychic warrior David Morehouse. In addition, the book features an exclusive interview with top psychic spy Joseph McMoneagle.
Most remarkable of all is Mandelbaum's fascinating expose of the paranormal research and remote-viewing experiments conducted by the CIA, as well as the real effectiveness of the government's Stargate program.
Attorney, psychic, former intelligence professional, and dark-side investigative reporter, W. Adam Mandelbaum clearly demonstrates that the final frontier of future wars and spies is the mind. Stay tuned.
The Ranting Research Rumblings of a Raging Revolutionary
Are we witnessing a repeat of history - when will we ever learn?
The Mongol invasions changed conditions in the Near East dramatically. Baghdad was in ruins and the Abbasid Caliphate was gone. The Assassins were reduced to a few strongholds in Syria. The young Mameluk sultanate was now the leading power in the region, and it was this power, wealthy and relatively independent of the complex politics that dogged Aleppo and Damascus, that would lead the final offensive against the Franj.

The Real Meaning of Jyhad
In 654 AH / 1256 AD the Mongols ruled by Hulagu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan, seized and destroyed Alamut. This defeat was not only a severe loss of many thousand brave soldiers, it was utterly needless. The war was no matter of our Jyhad. The reasons for the Mongols lay only in territorial gains and thereby worldly power. Thereupon the elders of the Clan discussed the subject again and arrived at the decision never again to build an army like that but fight the Jyhad with silent strengh and not exposed forces. Worthy humans were integrated in the Clan and embraced. The army was disbanded, first in Persia then 670 AH / 1272 AD in Syria.
However, the deeds became legendary all over the globe. Many orders in the world tried to imitate the army over past centuries, but none was effective. The word Assassins even became a synonym for professional killers in many Camarilla influenced languages. Since these nights the kafir know what Jyhad really means - war till death do us part.

Can Psychic Assasins Stop the Wars Raging on Earth?
Hell is paved with good intentions.
Never has that old axiom been better illustrated than in W. Adam Mandelbaum’s The Psychic Battlefield.
Mr. Mandelbaum has the benefit of detailing a fascinating subject with a cult-like following, semi-reputable members (the CIA, for one), and plenty of glamour and intrigue. The Psychic Battlefield, as a chronicle of “the military-occult complex,” is of interest to those curious about tradecraft and tactics, or to those who have faith in or a need to understand what compels humans to dabble in the darker sciences.
Mr. Mandelbaum’s answer to that problem is simple: If it can be done, it will. The occult is a science, he predicates. It is not a myth, a hoax, or a game. And, like any science, a willing individual can be trained to take advantage of his or her natural ability. Just as some excel at chemistry and others physics, members of this exclusive, though growing, club have a special capacity for “remote viewing”. A simple operation in itself, RV is a method of infiltrating an enemy’s facilities and taking mental pictures of words and objects from, as the name declares, a remote location.
Mr. Mandelbaum, a former intelligence officer, advises that savvy countries, including the USA and now-defunct USSR, embraced the concept of psychic spying. He stipulates, however, that the practice is not a new one. Common knowledge has it that both British and German World War II-era commanders used the occult to attempt to peer into the future and foresee the fate of their causes. Indeed, antiquity’s “scientists” spent a good deal of time researching the power of sex in relation to strengthened mental perception. And, as The Psychic Battlefield opines, the conclusion that a cross in the sky is somehow more credible than a sign in the cards is due in great measure to cultural indoctrination.
In 1977, U.S. involvement in RV and psychic research took a compelling turn with the completion of the Kress report, a product of CIA sponsored research at Stanford Research Institute. The recently declassified material affirmed the actuality of psychic phenomena and the necessity for preparing a new breed of soldier to engage in and perhaps countermand RV and other forms of psychic spying. In the 1980s, The Monroe Institute in Faber, Virginia, in conjunction with SRI, became the backdrop for the expedient training of combatants for this new type of warfare.

The Motto of The U.S. Navy Seals Stealth Assasins (SSA)
PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY, PRIDE IS FOREVER
Hassan Ben Sabbah conditioned and organized a band of fearless political killers such as had never been seen before.26 His method of indoctrination was unique.vii He constructed a secret garden and furnished it with all the delights promised in the Koran…to the faithful when they reached paradise. The chosen were drugged, one or two at a time, and taken to this garden by night. When they woke up in the morningviii they were surrounded by beautiful and scantily clad houris [in Muslim belief, women who live with the blessed in paradise27] who would minister to their every need and desire. After being allowed to savor this false — but pleasant and sensual — paradise for a day or so, they were again drugged before being taken back to awaken in their own squalid hovel or cave dwelling. To them, it was as if it had been a vivid dream. Ben Sabbah then sent for them, told them Allah had given them a preview of paradise, and surprised them by telling them exactly what each had been up to while in the secret garden. So successful was he in this method of conditioning and indoctrination that it was said he once astounded a visiting emir whom he wanted to impress with his power by sending for one of his men and ordering him to kill himself — which he immediately did.28 When an Assassin was sent out by ibn-al-Sabbah to carry out some violent death, the Assassin was just as dedicated. So convinced were the Assassins that they would be rewarded in paradise that they never hesitated to fulfill their missions of murder, even though this often meant their victims’ bodyguards would kill them immediately afterward.

Regarding Bush and Cheney?
If you could throw them out of office how would you do it? it would be easier to pull them down than to throw them out. There are at least a million people in this country who now believe that Bush and Cheney and their entire cabinet should be impeached. Why has the process not started? Who is getting paid to keep them in power? Who keeps the military industrial financial media complex in place?
Death for Money - Money for Death
"Actually, if you count up all the wars since the beginning of time, you begin to see why we have not yet reached the stars.
As long as man values his pocket book more than he does a human life there will be more death and destruction....it will never end.
As long as humans value the taking of life for money humanity will be hindered in their evolution. Maybe another ten thousand years of wars will teach man a lesson.
Some of us "Hungarians who came from Mars" remember what happened there. There was a nuclear holacaust that wiped out the whole planet millions of years ago. Mankind has not learned these lessons for hundreds of millions of years. Why would anything be any different in the coming century.
There are less than 20 million Hungarians left in the world after 1,000 years of wars. There are less than 2 million Latvians left in the world after 500 years of wars.
Perhaps there will be less than a million people left in the world after another thousand years of wars on this planet, we may not get the chance to live another million years. Humanity is a failed experiment of the gods.
The more things seem to change the more they stay the same.
So many arguments, so much fighting, so much pain and destruction...I think it is high time for me to leave this world."

A former intelligence professional sheds new light on the obscure intersection of the military and the paranormal--the military-occult complex--and reveals the incredible story of psychic abilities turned into a weapon of war by the world's soldiers and spies.
In the annals of military and espionage history, many strange tales have been told, but none can match the saga of psychic espionage-the history of the military-occult complex. With the flavor of fiction, yet with its foundation in fact, The Psychic Battlefield is the complete history of the use of man's extrasensory powers in search of the information needed to win wars--hot and cold.
The Psychic Battlefield spans the five-thousand-year history of ESPionage, from the attempted overthrow of the Pharaoh Rameses by magic to the CIA's use of military-trained psychics during the Cold War. It is a story as true as it is incredible.
The cast of characters includes such noteworthy names as sorcerer-poet Aleister Crowley, author Ian Fleming, spoon-bending General Stubblebine, and psychic warrior David Morehouse. In addition, the book features an exclusive interview with top psychic spy Joseph McMoneagle.
Most remarkable of all is Mandelbaum's fascinating expose of the paranormal research and remote-viewing experiments conducted by the CIA, as well as the real effectiveness of the government's Stargate program.
Attorney, psychic, former intelligence professional, and dark-side investigative reporter, W. Adam Mandelbaum clearly demonstrates that the final frontier of future wars and spies is the mind. Stay tuned.
It should open again on the 15th of April if the SEC lifts the trading halt....huge short positions out there on it.
Zeev - Please delete that last post...it doesn't belong here. It was meant to go on the politics board...my mistake.

We must forgive them for their ignorance for they know not what they are doing.
An old post from somewhere on the net revisited:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=2764849
I was just running some numbers. If 20 million men had died in World War I, that was about three generations ago, so if the average man had 2.3 children, that would mean approximately 46 million children didn't get born after the first generation.
The second generation would make another 105 million unborns, and the third generation would make it 243 million.
If 50 million men lost their lives in WW II, which was two generations ago, that would mean 115 million people the first generation and another 254 million unborns the second, leaving us with an approximate total of 507 million unborns in the last century alone, not including the Korean, Vietnam, and the lesser skirmishes and battles along the way since.
And how many wars have there been in the past 2,000 years? The real question is, how many of those unborns could have been another Einstein, Tesla, Edison, Ford, Rockefeller, or another genious that could have contributed to the betterment of the world.
If properly done, these calculations would probably result in a number of humans that were never born because of wars alone coming close to somewhere around 200 billion, enough to populate the whole solar system.
There will be a method to whatever madness there must be in the perceptions of the public which will eventually lift society to a higher ground of sanity. So how good is war?
How many pennies do you have and where do you live?
Wonder how many US pennies 260,000 people around the world could collect in a week?
Dr. Farwell is the inventor of Brain Fingerprinting® technology. He also invented the Farwell Brain Communicator, which allows an individual to communicate directly from the brain to a computer and speech synthesizer using electrical brain activity, so that paralyzed people can communicate, "talk," and control computers and other devices even though incapable of moving. He is a former research associate at Harvard University and is the Chairman and Chief Scientist of the Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories, Inc.
Dr. Farwell has conducted and published scientific research demonstrating the direct effect of human consciousness on matter at the quantum-mechanical level. This research helps to explain the fundamental mechanism through which humans use their brains and interact with the environment and demonstrates that human abilities to influence nature, heretofore thought to be impossible, are indeed within the reach of human life and within the realm of scientific investigation.
In addition to dozens of articles in scientific journals, Dr. Farwell has written a book entitled How Consciousness Commands Matter: The New Scientific Revolution and the Evidence that Anything Is Possible (Sun Star Press, 2001).
Dr. Farwell's personal philosophy is that anything is possible. He sees his scientific research as a process of discovering the unlimited possibilities available for human life. Dr. Farwell believes that the goal of life is the full development and complete integration of mind, heart, body, and spirit. In addition to his BA, MA, and PhD in neuroscience, he has a black belt in Kung Fu.

Brain Fingerprinting Testing Ruled Admissible in Court
On March 5, 2001 Pottawattamie County, Iowa District Court Judge Tim O'Grady ruled that Brain Fingerprinting® testing is admissible in court. Dr. Farwell conducted a Brain Fingerprinting test on Terry Harrington, who is serving a life sentence in Iowa for a 1977 murder. The test showed that the record stored in Harrington's brain did not match the crime scene and did match the alibi. Harrington filed a petition for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, including the Brain Fingerprinting test. On February 26, 2003 the Iowa Supreme Court reversed his murder conviction and ordered a new trial. The Iowa Supreme Court left undisturbed the law of the case establishing the admissibility of the Brain Fingerprinting evidence.

The Iowa Supreme Court left undisturbed the law of the case establishing the admissibility of the Brain Fingerprinting evidence.
In a Brain Fingerprinting test, words, pictures or sounds describing salient features of a crime are presented by a computer, along with other, irrelevant information, that would be equally plausible for an innocent subject. Items are chosen that would be known only to the perpetrator and to investigators, but not to the public or to an innocent suspect. The subject is told which features he will see (e.g., the murder weapon), but is not told which item is correct (e. g, gun, knife, or baseball bat). When a subject recognizes something as significant in the current context, the brain emits a specific brain response. If the record of the crime is stored in the subject's brain, this response appears when the subject recognizes the correct, relevant items. If not, then the response is absent. A computerized mathematical analysis of the data determines whether or not the subject has knowledge of the salient details of the crime.
Just as a personal computer emits a characteristic sound whenever its central processing unit is transferring information to or from or the hard drive, the human brain emits a characteristic electrical brain wave response, known as a P300 and a MERMER (memory and encoding related multifaceted electroencephalographic response), whenever the subject responds to a known stimulus. The P300 electrical brain wave response, one aspect of the larger MERMER response discovered and patented by Dr. Farwell, is widely known and accepted in the scientific community. There have been hundreds of studies conducted and articles published on it over the past thirty-plus years. The MERMER, a longer and more complex response than the P300, comprises a P300 response, which is electrical events occurring 300 to 800 milliseconds after the stimulus, and additional data occurring more than 800 milliseconds after the stimulus. While a P300 shows only a peak electrical response, a MERMER has both a peak and a valley.
In order to be admissible under the prevailing Daubert standard, the science utilized in a technology is evaluated based on the following four criteria: (The Iowa courts are not bound by the Daubert criteria used in the federal courts, but they do use them when determining the admissibility of novel scientific evidence.)
Has the science been tested?
Has the science been peer reviewed and published?
Is the science accurate?
Is the science well accepted in the scientific community?
The judge ruled that Brain Fingerprinting testing met all four of the legal requirements for being admitted as valid scientific evidence. The ruling stated: "The test is based on a 'P300 effect.'… "The P300 effect has been studied by psycho-physiologists…The P300 effect has been recognized for nearly twenty years. The P300 effect has been subject to testing and peer review in the scientific community. The consensus in the community of psycho-physiologists is that the P300 effect is valid…."
The judge also ruled that "The evidence resulting from Harrington's 'brain fingerprinting' test… is newly discovered" and "material to the issues in the case," and thus meets the standard for being considered in a petition for a new trial.
The Brain Fingerprinting test on Harrington showed that the record stored in his brain did not match the crime, and did match his alibi. This is similar a finding that Harrington's fingerprints or DNA did not match the fingerprints or DNA at the crime scene, and did match those at the scene of the alibi.
Dr. Farwell conducted two different analyses of the data on Harrington. Both yielded the same conclusion. He performed the test and the analyses in strict accordance with the P300 science that has been extensively researched and is well accepted in the scientific community. In another analysis, Dr. Farwell used more state-of-the-art techniques, including the MERMER, which, though arguably more accurate, do not yet have the same level of acceptance as the P300.
After obtaining the results of the Brain Fingerprinting test, Dr. Farwell located the only alleged witness to the crime, Kevin Hughes. When Dr. Farwell confronted him with the Brain Fingerprinting test results exonerating Harrington, Hughes admitted that he had lied at Harrington's trial. He stated under oath that he had made up the story about Harrington committing the crime to avoid being prosecuted himself. Harrington’s attorney used Hughes' recantation along with Brain Fingerprinting test findings as evidence in his post-conviction petition for a new trial.
The Harrington case was about as difficult a case as could be envisioned for the Brain Fingerprinting system. The day after the crime, the perpetrator knows all about the crime and an innocent suspect knows nothing. Scientists could have readily constructed a Brain Fingerprinting test to distinguish between the two, if the technique had been invented at the time. Later, in his trial, Harrington was exposed to extensive information about the crime. This made it difficult after the trial to produce salient features of the crime that he would know only if he had committed the crime. Twenty-three years after the crime was committed, through examination of court documents, police reports, witness interviews, crime-scene photos and an investigation of crime scene itself, Dr. Farwell was able to structure a Brain Fingerprinting test that tested Harrington's brain for evidence of salient features of the crime, features that he claimed not to know because he was not there. The test showed that Harrington's brain in fact did not contain a record of these salient features of the crime. A second test conducted by Dr. Farwell showed that Harrington's brain did contain the details of his alibi.
As with other scientific evidence, Brain Fingerprinting testing does not prove guilt or innocence per se. It provides information about what is stored in the suspect's brain. A judge or jury can utilize this information in making the legal determination of guilt or innocence. The weight of the Brain Fingerprinting test evidence will be evaluated along with other evidence by a higher court in their consideration of Harrington's appeal. If a higher court finds that this and other evidence probably would have changed the result of the original trial if it had been known at the time, then Harrington will be granted a new trial.
"I believe the court’s admission of Brain Fingerprinting test results into evidence is a landmark in forensic science," said Dr. Farwell. "Innocent persons have a new technology to aid in their exoneration, and law enforcement has a new weapon with which to convict perpetrators. In the future we can use this technology to find out the truth early in a case. This will save innocent suspects from a traumatic investigation and trial, and potentially from false conviction and punishment. By allowing law enforcement to focus on the actual perpetrators, it will also save time and money in law enforcement.”
"I believe that in time we will be able to virtually eliminate false convictions through Brain Fingerprinting tests and other scientific technologies such as DNA and fingerprints. This new scientific technology will also allow us to significantly increase the number of actual criminals brought to justice."
Since the hearing, Dr. Farwell and Sharon Smith of the FBI have published their research on the MERMER in the prestigious peer-reviewed Journal of Forensic Sciences, January 2001.
Hundreds of scientific studies on this technology from dozens of laboratories have been published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Dr. Farwell has applied the technique not only in rigorous laboratory studies but also in over 100 real-life cases. Dr. Farwell and then FBI scientist Dr. Drew Richardson used the Brain Fingerprinting system to detect with 100% accuracy which people in a group were FBI agents and which were not by measuring brain responses to items only an FBI agent would recognize. Brain Fingerprinting testing was also 100% accurate in three studies Dr. Farwell conducted for a US intelligence agency and for the US Navy.
The Brain Fingerprinting system tests for knowledge of salient features of a crime stored in the brain. Scientists know that we don't remember everything, but we do remember significant features of major events — like committing a serious crime. By scientifically determining what is stored in a suspect's brain, Brain Fingerprinting testing provides evidence that can be used by judges and juries in making a determination as to whether the suspect committed the crime or not.

One fundamental difference between a terrorist and an innocent suspect is that the terrorist has detailed knowledge of terrorist activities and an innocent person does not. A terrorist has either committed a crime, received training in terrorism or worked with others in planning terrorist attacks. The innocent suspect does not have this type of information stored in his brain.
Brain Fingerprinting technology is based on the principle that the brain is central to all human acts. In a terrorist act, there may or may not be peripheral evidence such as fingerprints or DNA, but the brain of the perpetrator is always there, planning, executing, and recording the crime. The terrorist has knowledge of organizations, training and plans that an innocent person does not have. Until the invention of Brain Fingerprinting testing, there was no scientific way to detect this fundamental difference. Brain Fingerprinting testing provides an accurate, economical and timely solution to the central problem in the fight against terrorism. It is now possible to determine scientifically whether or not a person has terrorist training and knowledge of terrorist activities.
Brain Fingerprinting testing can determine quickly and accurately whether or not specific knowledge is present or absent in an individual. In a Brain Fingerprinting test, words, pictures or sounds relevant to a crime, terrorist act or terrorist training are presented by a computer, along with other irrelevant images and sounds. Electrical brain responses are measured non-invasively through a patented headband equipped with sensors. A computer then analyzes the brain responses and determines whether or not the specific information is stored in the brain of the suspect. The results are not affected by the willingness of the person being tested to tell the truth. By testing for specific information, Brain Fingerprinting technology can accurately distinguish between a trained terrorist and an innocent person who may have knowledge of certain locations, people and events for legitimate reasons.
Brain Fingerprinting testing detects whether or not specific information is stored in a person’s brain, not truth or falsehood. In fact, no questions are asked and no answers are given during a Brain Fingerprinting test. Brain Fingerprinting testing cannot be used for general, non-specific testing, something for which no reliable facts exist against which to compare the subject’s answer. For example, a general question like “Are you a terrorist?” is not something that can be addressed by Brain Fingerprinting technology. However, the recognition of specific information from terrorist training or of individuals at a training camp can be detected. Investigators must have reliable, factual details from which to draw the information that will be used to structure the Brain Fingerprinting test.
Any known legitimate means through which a subject may have encountered crime or terrorist-relevant information are examined prior to conducting a Brain Fingerprinting test. Standard protocols ensure that the individual has a chance to reveal any circumstances through which he may have had legitimate access to the crime-relevant information in question. Any information the suspect has obtained through legitimate means is eliminated from consideration before the test is administered. A suspect is tested only on information that he has no legitimate means of knowing, information he denies knowledge of, and for which he has no legitimate explanation if it turns out that the information is indeed stored in his brain.
With the Brain Fingerprinting system, a significant scientific breakthrough has now become a practical applied technology. A new era in security and intelligence gathering has begun. Now, terrorists and those supporting terrorism can be identified quickly and accurately. No longer should any terrorist be able to evade justice for lack of evidence. And there is no reason why an innocent individual should be falsely imprisoned or convicted of terrorist activity. A Brain Fingerprinting test can determine with an extremely high degree of accuracy those who are involved with terrorist activity and those who are not.

Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories HQ Moves to Seattle
Seattle, Washington. (January 31, 2004) Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories, Inc. announced today that it has established a new Headquarters and Research and Development Office in Seattle, Washington. The office will also serve as the company's regional operations center for the Western US. The Research and Development laboratory will be located in the Washington Technology Center on the campus of The University of Washington. The Economic Development Council of Seattle and King County along with the City of Seattle's Office of Economic Development and the King County's Executive Office worked diligently with Brain Fingerprinting officials to recruit the company to the Seattle area.
Dr. Lawrence Farwell, a Seattle born neuroscientist, invented the Brain Fingerprinting® technology. Brain Fingerprinting testing can help authorities to determine the truth regarding a crime, terrorist act, or terrorist training by detecting information stored in the brain.
TIME Magazine selected Dr. Farwell to the TIME100: The Next Wave, the 100 Innovators who may be "the Picassos or the Einsteins of the 21st Century."
Brain Fingerprinting technology has been found to be 100% accurate to date in tests funded by the CIA and in tests for the FBI and US Navy. Brain Fingerprinting testing has been ruled admissible in court as scientific evidence in Iowa. This new technology has helped to exonerate and free a man imprisoned for 27 years for a murder he did not commit and to put a serial killer in prison for life.
The patented Brain Fingerprinting technology accurately measures brain-wave responses to words or pictures presented on a computer screen. A subject who has knowledge of the information being tested emits a specific, measurable response known as a P300/MERMER. A subject who lacks this record in his brain does not emit the response. Thus, the technology can accurately distinguish between an innocent person and a criminal or terrorist by detecting knowledge of a crime in the brain of a perpetrator or knowledge of terrorist training in the brain of a terrorist.
Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories, Inc. has also applied for patent protection for a brain-wave test to detect Alzheimer's disease and measure the efficacy of drugs and other treatment options. Even a rudimentary first generation test protocol has been shown to detect Alzheimer's as accurately as today's highly expensive and subjective clinical judgment protocols and currently available tests. The company estimates that when finalized and validated and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the test will cost less than 25% of other diagnostic alternatives. The test equipment will be easily run by a nurse or trained technician in any doctor's office in the world. The test will give a diagnosis in less than 1/2 hour.
The company, has its National Data Center and Midwest regional operations in Iowa and a regional operations center in Washington D.C.

There is no human aberation greater than injustice. Certainly if the World Court could bring Bush and Hussain into a brain fingerprinting session we could get at the real truth and save hundreds of thousands of more lives.

Teamsters seek probe of Costco signature campaign
Tuesday March 30, 3:59 pm ET
SAN FRANCISCO, March 30 (Reuters) - California's attorney general is considering a labor union's request to look into Costco Wholesale Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:COST - News) efforts to put a measure to a statewide vote that would overhaul workers' compensation rules, an official said on Tuesday.
"We're evaluating the request," said Tom Dresslar, spokesman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
One day earlier, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (News - Websites) sent a letter to Lockyer accusing Costco of requiring employees to engage in political activity on the company's behalf.
Costco, a warehouse-type discount grocer and retailer based in Issaquah, Washington, is backing a measure that would dramatically alter the state's worker's compensation insurance system by making it harder to collect claims.
Long frustrated by rising workers' compensation insurance expenses, Costco last week ordered 90,000 petitions to be circulated by workers at its markets in California. The company in theory could gather as many as 900,000 signatures.
The initiative campaign, which has Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's support, needs 598,000 valid voters' signatures by April 16 to place the measure on the November ballot.
Workers' comp expenses are more than twice as high for California employers as the national average, and Schwarzenegger wants to slash $11 billion from the $29 billion insurance system either with help from lawmakers or through a statewide vote.
The Teamsters' letter to Lockyer claims Costco is violating a section of California's labor code barring employers from directing political activities of employees.
"Things like this are better left out of the employment arena," said Chuck Mack, the Teamsters' Western region vice president, who sent the letter.
The union considers Costco a good employer but is concerned its members who work for the company in California, between 10,000 and 12,000 depending on the time of year, may be coerced into gathering signatures for the initiative, Mack said.
Joel Benoliel, Costco's chief legal officer, said the company is not requiring employees to gather signatures. "There is no coercion," he said. "There is absolutely no consequence if someone says, 'I'm not comfortable manning that table.'"
The Teamsters' letter surprised Costco, which has friendly relations with the union, said Benoliel.
He noted Costco and the Teamsters quietly renegotiated a compensation contract covering the company's California markets. This contrasts with the turmoil of the recently concluded labor dispute in Southern California involving the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and supermarket chains Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR - News), Albertsons Inc. (NYSE:ABS - News) and Safeway Inc. (NYSE:SWY - News).
Dresslar said there is no deadline for acting on the Teamsters' letter.

The company will request that a hearing on the adequacy of the disclosure statement and related procedures to solicit votes in favor of the plan be scheduled by the Bankruptcy Court for April 16, 2004.
On February 13, 2004, Allegiance selected XO Communications Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: XOCM - News) as the winning bidder to purchase substantially all of the assets of Allegiance Telecom and its subsidiaries, including the stock of Allegiance's regulated operating subsidiaries. XO will not purchase Allegiance's customer premises equipment sales and maintenance business operated under the name of Shared Technologies, its dedicated dial-up access services business with Level 3, and certain other Allegiance assets and operations. Under the terms of its bid, XO will purchase substantially all of Allegiance's assets for approximately $311 million in cash and approximately 45.38 million shares of XO common stock. The bid was approved by the court on Feb. 19, 2004, and is currently undergoing certain federal and state government approvals.

Allegiance also recently announced that it reached a settlement with Level 3 Communications, which subject to approval of the Allegiance bankruptcy court and other conditions, would terminate a multi-year contract Level 3 has to purchase wholesale dial access services, including the use of operating equipment, from Allegiance. Under this settlement, Level 3 has agreed to pay Allegiance $54 million in cash in exchange for Allegiance's contract with Level 3 and certain associated assets dedicated to this contract.
With the sale to XO and the settlement agreement with Level 3, Allegiance's remaining operations consist of its Shared Technology customer premise equipment installation and maintenance business and the Allegiance shared hosting business. The Company plans to operate the Shared Technology business as a free-standing enterprise, the stock of which will be held for the benefit of, or distributed to, the Allegiance creditors. Allegiance is in the process of selling its shared hosting business.

Iowa Supreme Court Reverses Harrington Murder Conviction after 24 Years
Brain Fingerprinting Test Supports Innocence
FAIRFIELD, IOWA (February 26, 2003) - Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories, Inc. announced today that that the Iowa Supreme Court has reversed the murder conviction of Terry Harrington and ordered a new trial, capping a 24-year-quest for justice by the Council Bluffs, Iowa man.
Following a hearing on post-conviction relief on November 14, 2000, an Iowa District Court held that Dr. Farwell's Brain Fingerprinting® test results met the prevailing Daubert standard for admissibility of new scientific evidence. Nevertheless, the District Court denied Mr. Harrington's petition for a new trial. Today, the Iowa Supreme Court reversed the District Court's decision on constitutional grounds and left undisturbed the law of the case establishing the admissibility of the Brain Fingerprinting evidence.
In the Iowa Supreme Court's 22-page decision, the court found that police had failed to give Harrington's defense lawyers eight separate police reports that could have cast doubt on testimony that linked him to the murder of a Council Bluffs night watchman in 1978. One justice wrote that he was “outraged” by the suppression of the police reports. The witness against Harrington has since recanted. Harrington remains in prison while prosecutors decide whether to re-try him.
Mr. Harrington has maintained his innocence throughout the 24 years of his imprisonment. His friend, Anne Danaher, has worked tirelessly for his exoneration. Ms. Danaher recruited defense attorneys Mary Kennedy and Tom Frerichs of Waterloo, Iowa, who prevailed in the Iowa Supreme Court.
Ms. Danaher also recruited Dr. Lawrence Farwell, Chairman and Chief Scientist of Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories, to conduct a Brain Fingerprinting test on Mr. Harrington. In the preparation for the Brain Fingerprinting test, Ms. Danaher obtained additional information on the crime scene, including suppressed police reports that would have helped Harrington at his trial. The Iowa Supreme Court held that keeping this information from Harrington's lawyer denied him due process and requires the reversal of his conviction.
The suppressed reports were first brought to light in 2001 as Harrington prepared to take a Brain Fingerprinting test to establish his innocence. Brain responses showed conclusively that the record stored in Harrington's brain did not match the crime scene and did match his alibi, according to Dr. Lawrence Farwell, the inventor of the Brain Fingerprinting technology.
Dr. Farwell comments that, “We were glad to help with this case. Should the State retry Mr. Harrington, we are ready to assist the defense in presenting Brain Fingerprinting evidence to a new jury.”
Confronted with the Brain Fingerprinting test results exonerating Harrington, Kevin Hughes, the key prosecution witness, recanted his testimony and admitted that he had lied in the original trial, falsely accusing Harrington to avoid being prosecuted for the murder himself.
Iowa Attorney Thomas H. Makeig filed an amicus curiae, friend of the court, brief on Dr. Farwell's behalf in the course of the appeal. The brief supported Harrington's contention that Brain Fingerprinting testing provided new evidence of his innocence.
The Iowa Supreme Court determined that its constitutional finding made it unnecessary to examine the newly discovered evidence; however, the Court stated that the Brain Fingerprinting evidence --
“was introduced through the testimony of Dr. Lawrence Farwell, who specializes in cognitive psychophysiology. Dr. Farwell measures certain patterns of brain activity (the P300 wave) to determine whether the person being tested recognizes or does not recognize offered information. This analysis basically 'provide[s] information about what the person has stored in his brain.' According to Dr. Farwell, his testing of Harrington established that Harrington's brain did not contain information about Schweer's murder. On the other hand, Dr. Farwell testified, testing did confirm that Harrington's brain contained information consistent with his alibi.” (Harrington v. State of Iowa, footnote 6)
Details of the Harrington v. State of Iowa, Iowa Supreme Court No. 01-0653 case are available at www.judicial.state.ia.us/supreme/opinions/20030226/01-0653.asp#_ftnref6 .
The Harrington case first received national attention in December 2001 when CBS 60 Minutes featured Dr. Farwell's Brain Fingerprinting test of Mr. Harrington. TIME Magazine recently selected Dr. Farwell for the TIME 100: The Next Wave, the 100 Innovators who may be “the Picassos and Einsteins of the 21st century.”
Brain Fingerprinting testing was also “instrumental in obtaining a confession and guilty plea” from serial killer James B. Grinder, according to Sheriff Robert Dawson of Macon County, Missouri. In August 1999 Dr. Farwell conducted a Brain Fingerprinting test on Grinder. The test showed that the record stored in his brain matched the details of the crime. Following the test results, Grinder faced an almost certain conviction and probable death sentence. Grinder pled guilty to the rape and murder of Julie Helton in exchange for a life sentence without parole. He is currently serving that sentence. In addition, Grinder subsequently confessed to the previously unsolved murders of three other young women. Brain Fingerprinting testing has been proven accurate in over 170 tests to date.

March 16, 2004 (AXcess News) Reno NV - Itronics Inc. (OTCBB: ITRO; Frankfurt Stock Exchange: ITG) reported today that a significant increase in sales of 2004 Limited Edition Silver Nevada Miner bars by its subsidiary, Itronics Metallurgical, Inc., is doubling first quarter silver sales compared to 2003.
The beautifully crafted, 5 troy ounce, 99.9 percent pure Silver Nevada Miner bar is the only 5 troy ounce silver bar currently being manufactured and sold in the United States. With renewed consumer interest in silver and rising prices the 2004 Limited Edition Silver Nevada bars, which became available for sale in January, are rapidly becoming a popular collectible item.
"While this is still a modest part of our overall business, we are pleased by the increased sales and are looking forward to this trend continuing," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. "Because of expanding consumer interest in silver we are initiating an Internet advertising campaign for the second quarter which is expected to further increase Silver Nevada Miner bar sales."
The Silver Nevada Miner bar was created to commemorate the long and eventful silver mining history of Nevada and is an excellent souvenir of Nevada, the “Silver State.” The top surface of the bar is engraved with an authentic reproduction of a miner in one of the famous "square-set" stopes of the Comstock Silver Mines at Virginia City, Nevada, in the mid-1860's. The bars are 2 3/8 inches by 1 3/8 inches by 1/4 inch thick and contain exactly 5 ounces of pure silver. They are "proof quality" and include a year-stamp authenticating the limited edition. The Silver Nevada Miner bars are available at the Company's 'e-store' catalog at http://www.itronics.com.
Itronics, through its subsidiary, Itronics Metallurgical, Inc., is the only company in the world with the technology to extract more than 99 percent of the silver and virtually all the other toxic heavy metals from used photoliquids and to use this "Beneficial Use Photochemical, Silver, and Water Recycling" technology to convert the resulting liquids into environmentally beneficial, chelated, multinutrient liquid fertilizer products sold under the trademark GOLD'n GRO, and animal repellent/fertilizer products under the trademark GOLD'n GRO GUARDIAN.
Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, Itronics Inc. is one of Nevada's leading process technology companies and a world leader in photochemical recycling. The Company also provides project planning and technical services to the mining industry. Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President, was selected as Nevada’s Inventor of the Year for 2000 and is a member of the Inventor’s Hall of Fame at the University of Nevada, Reno. Itronics was one of five finalists for the 2001 Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Award, the most prestigious worldwide award in chemical engineering technologies.

On February 23, Itronics announced that it expected bulk sales of its GOLD'n Gro liquid fertilizers to double as well in the first quarter of 2004. "Our sales in January and February to date already exceed the entire first quarter of 2003 and could double last year's first quarter," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President.
Whitney attributed the anticipated results would be fulfilled when the first quarter figures were released. "Fertilizer sales are increasing because there is broader distribution with more people involved in product sales, both new accounts and existing distributors."
Whitney went on to say that, "After a substantial price increase in silver this year we're noticing increased demand for our Nevada Silver Miner Bars by collectors and investors alike."
With the boom in digital camera sales more photos are being printed by retail photo shops, such as Fuji (NASDAQ: FUJYI) who has seen robust growth in digital photo development.
Today's digital photos are produced on a variety of media, including silver-halide, which is a heavy-metal recovered by Itronics photochemical recycling process. Through agreements with retail photo development stores, Itronics collects the fluids, extracting silver and other heavy metals through its proprietary process and selling the remaining fluids as liquid fertilizer under the brand name GOLD'n GRO.
According to Lyra Research, total direct prints from consumer digital cameras will grow from 4.5 billion prints in 2001 to 11.8 billion prints in 2005 worldwide and that number may be low (See, "Low-cost digital cameras fueling photo-imaging industry").
That growth is fueling the amount of liquids being made available to Itronics. Whitney stated that supply growth was in parallel to the increase in photo development.
While Itronics recovers 99% of the silver from photochemical recycling, the Company noted that demand for its Silver Nevada Miner Bars exceeded that supply source, forcing the company to buy ingot on the open market to meet demand.
In prior years, Itronics had sold out its entire stock of limited edition 5 ounce silver bars, forcing collectors to pay as high as 200% over its retail price from other collectors. With current demand laying heavy on the Company AXcess News believes this year's limited edition manufacturing will be no different. Itronics had already increased the price of its silver bars once since January and if silver prices continue to push upward, as many Wall Street analysts predict, Itronics' Silver Nevada Miner Bars will most likely go up again.
Silver closed Wednesday at $7.74, up 13.9%.
Itronics closed Wednesday at $0.161, down $0.019 or 10.56%, as investors took profits following the company's year end results. Shares of ITRO had climbed 29.03% since AXcess News first reported on the company December 17, 2003. Wednesday's profit-taking volume put Itronics only 3.9% up over that initial news coverage's closing price.
With first quarter figures anticipated to reflect improved results investors may once again rally behind the photochemical recycler's shares.

Will Bush be forced to testify separately and under oath?
Regarding Condoleezza Rice's Testimony
March 30, 2004
The Family Steering Committee is pleased to learn that Condoleezza Rice will testify under oath in a public hearing.
This is good news and will undoubtedly make the 9/11 Commission's Final Report more complete, comprehensive, and transparent in nature.
More than anything, the families want to know why our nation was so vulnerable to 19 hijackers on the morning of 9/11. We look forward to Ms. Rice answering questions about her priorities as National Security Advisor to the President, the processes used before, and after, 9/11 to share critical intelligence and other related data regarding this country’s counter terrorism activities within the government, her knowledge of Al-Qaeda, and her role, and the role of the NSC--leading up to, on, and after the morning of 9/11.
We are hopeful that the information gleaned from Ms. Rice's public testimony can be used by the Commission as part of their investigation and be included in their Final Report and Recommendations to help minimize the chances of a future attack and thus, save lives.
Upon the signing of the 9/11 Commission into law, President Bush stated that the Commission's work was their most solemn duty. He also stated that the Commission must go wherever the facts may lead. We hope that the following qualifying language presented in the letter to the Commission regarding Ms. Rice's testimony does not now contradict these words:
"The Commission must agree in writing that it will not request additional public testimony from any White House official, including Dr. Rice. The National Security Advisor is uniquely situated to provide the Commission with information necessary to fulfill its statutory mandate. Indeed, it is for this reason that Dr. Rice privately met with the Commission for more than four hours on February 7, fully answered every question posed to her, and offered additional private meetings if necessary. Despite the fact that the Commission will therefore have access to all information of which Dr. Rice is aware, the Commission has nevertheless urged that public confidence in the work of the Commission would be enhanced by Dr. Rice appearing publicly before the Commission. Other White House officials with information relevant to the Commission's inquiry do not come within the scope of the Commission's rationale for seeking public testimony from Dr. Rice. These officials will continue to provide the Commission with information through private meetings, briefings, and documents, consistent with our previous practice."
Consistent with Bush’s statement upon the formation of the Commission, the FSC sincerely hopes that the commission will be given full and unfettered access to any officials in the White House whom they feel it is necessary to interview under oath.
The above condition, which prohibits them from seeking further public testimony, is of particular concern because decisions made by those officials on the day of 9/11 are critically important to provide a full accounting to the American public.
Nevertheless, the families are cautiously optimistic that Dr. Rice's public appearance before the Commission will enhance its ability to produce the kind of Final Report that the nation deserves.
