Are any of you onto this breaking story?
The Times of London is generally accepted as a credible source: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...le3137695.ece? For a video, see this less credible source: http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=12166 For more info, see: http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff01072008.html it suggests that living in one of the 4 or 5 largest U.S. cities is a bit less safe than one might suppose. Metalworking content: Nuke building Gunner -- "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |

The gist of the story is that most likely, such "leaks" were actually
authorized by high levels. i |

Metalworking content: Nuke building Gunner ==================== While if true (as it appears to be) this is indeed a major concern, however the more immediate, and therefore more dangerous situation, is the administration's attempt to generate a "Son of Tonkin" or "Tonkin II" situation and panic congress into passing a resolution to justify a pre-emptive war with Iran. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080108/...7kZf3rH2Cs0NUE http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...tory?track=rss This became necessary when our "spooks" leaked the NIE indicating that Iran had stopped nuclear military work shortly after the end of the Iran/Iraq war, because it became evident that the "raw" intelligence data was again being "cherry-picked," and that the intelligence services were again being setup to be the fall-guy. For actual NIE text see http://www.dni.gov/press_releases/20071203_release.pdf Other news that may be impacting events in the area include http://www2.irna.ir/en/news/view/men...6820152845.htm http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20080104/cm_csm/ylynch_1 On the other hand this claim of massive espionage may be another diversionary "Reichstag fire" to panic the people and additionally slander the functionaries/bureaucrats in the permanent government as "pay-back" for leaking the NIE, and stopping a war they had their hearts set on, but which would have been [and will be] a disaster for the people and government of the United States [It won't do much for the Iranians either…] -- Change of topic here -- Politically I am somewhat to the right of Attila the Hun, but the IMT [International Military Tribunal / Nuremberg] is unequivocal on the following points. http://www.lib.uconn.edu/online/rese...ound/index.htm snip On 8 August 1945, the charter of the International Military Tribunal declared that aggressive war was an international crime and an International Military Tribunal was established in Nuremberg, Germany to try the remaining major German leaders for their actions both before and during World War II. Nuremberg was the city where Hitler had proclaimed his racial laws in 1935. Judges from the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, as well as four alternates were assigned the jurisdiction to try high ranking Nazis deemed personally responsible for the specific charges. This would be the first time that an international court would hold a government responsible for its treatment of both its own citizens and citizens of other countries during war time. "The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated." [Justice Robert Jackson, opening statement People vs. Nazism] The specific charges that were brought against twenty-three individuals included crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. ==Crimes against peace were defined as the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of a war of aggression.== [emphasis added] War crimes were defined as the violations of the laws or customs of war including the murder, ill treatment and deportation to slave labor of civilian populations and the murder and ill treatment of prisoners of war. Crimes against humanity were defined as the murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation and other inhumane treatment of civilians before and during the war. This also included the persecution of individuals on political, racial or religious grounds. snip ---------- In addition, by its documented actions, the Bush administration is in direct and flagrant violation of several articles of the UN charter/treaty, which has the force of law, and "trumps" the US Constitution [which is one of the main danger of treaties]. http://www.cdi.org/news/law/preemptive-war.cfm Notes for Cliff: It is both useless and counter-productive to demonize Bush/Chaney. By themselves they could do little or nothing. The problem is the system/organization that allows, indeed promotes, these sorts of activities, and introduces "positive feed-back" where "reality" is made to conform to the biases, pre-conceptions, and assumptions of the leaders. This is dangerous in business and catastrophic in government, as sooner or later "reality" always wins. The combination of a "duty to act" with the "power to act" defines accountability. By their failure to exercise the fundamental Constitutional "power of the purse," and their continual evasion of the Congressional responsibility to "Declare War" [Artice I section 8] Reid/Pelosi and the Democrats are as guilty as Bush/Chaney and the Republicans, under the legal doctrine of "aiding and abetting." To his credit John McCain introduced twin resolutions that would have forced Congress to take a firm position either for or against war with Iraq, but was shouted down by the gas-bags, no-loads and dick-weeds. Unfortunately, he has not followed through on his initial skepticism. |

What airhead or terrorist allowed or put that in. Might be a plant.
There are mistakes, but that kind of stuff is normally protected better. Weird stuff happens, like when a certain R&D center published the keypad concept for not only home phones but the extra set for trunk and stations... That mistake into a company magazine - went to university libraries around the country and soon the birth of the black and blue boxes that dialed free long distance calls. In the late 60's and early 70's those were a rave - and pay phones on college campuses were taken out as they were simple targets. Now cell phones make it easy enough to call away. Martin Martin H.

The short excerpts I have seen have been low definition, similar to cell phone videos, choppy, and do not appear to show any US Navy ships in the background or US Navy equipment in the foreground as would be expected. Also, Iranian/Revolutionary Guards markings, flags or insignia are also not seen on the "attack boats." From the video I have seen, the "attack boats" could just as easily been drug runner fast boats videoed by the DEA while avoiding capture, or even some of the idle rich evading the Coast Guard. The US Navy now admits the audio was dubbed from a separate recording and that the entire video as released is a compilation/composite. Given the very tense situation (and highly skeptical public), why are continuous 360 degree high definition video and audio surveillance recordings, including GPS and radar data not required on every individual US navel vessel in the area? It can't be because of cost. To come back to cell phones for a moment, has anyone heard/seen of any personal pictures or videos taken of this "attack?" |

I read somewhere that every country that has tried to develop a nuclear weapon succeeded on the first attempt. The only real leverage is through control of weapons-grade material and political/ military pressure. Well, the North Koreans seem to have had pretty poor success. Rough guesstimates are that the Plutonium only boosted the yield of the device by 5 - 10%, in other words the chamical high explosive was 90 - 95% of the total explosion. That's remarkably poor. Something apparently went REALLY wrong with their bomb. Probably the symmetric compression of the plutonium was bad, or the neutron trigger had poor timing. This is assuming it was a basic device using relatively unsophisticated explosives, like our first "Fat Man" devices. In other words, a HELL of a lot of explosive for a tiny ball of Pu. If they had something really sophisticated like our modern missile warheads which use much less explosive to get the same compression/implosion, then maybe it was a very sophisticated low-yield, light-weight device. Since it took us 30 years with practically unlimited resources and thousands of tests to get it right, Occam's razor says "no way". Jon |

Actually the detail of not the normal tones was ok it was the special
column. Kinda like my special rotary in the shop. 1-2..9-0-A...D. That is a real old relic being a rotary. The magazine was recalled but not all copies returned. Some libraries 'lost' theirs. Actually companies like Mostek sold the tone generators that matched normal keypads. Full data sheet and disclosure. Not the specials. That was a custom chip. the normal one could be in experimental phones or production phones. Martin Martin H.

A small hole drilled in the right spot on the front of the phone allowed one to manipulate the coin return mechanism with a paper clip before the coins were sent to the box. The old phones were being phased out in the early 70s, but quite a few of those left on college campuses around Boston had that "feature." -- Ned Simmons |

The available information/data indicates that *ALL* [US] states and most of the major municipalities, have evaded the "no deficit" provisions of their constitutions/charters, and have accumulated horrendous unfunded pension liabilities, as well as massive "authority" or quasi independent institutional [such as university] debts for which they are responsible as guarantors. California is of particular concern as it is the home of "high tech" (as in silicone valley), and by GSP [gross state product] is the 6th or 7th largest economy in the world.

As I indicated before California is not unique, just first, and thus she is the "canary in the coal mine" for the rest of the country. I would feel a lot better if this were a one-time situation rather than a chronic condition, where the constitutional prohibitions on debt and deficits have been systematically evaded. Note that this applies to all US states and most US municipalities, not just California. For some insight click on http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...d=ajdL7eUHeUro More information continues to surface about governmental bond downgrades, even at the national level. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/fcc631cc-bfe...nclick_check=1 "The US is at risk of losing its top-notch triple-A credit rating within a decade unless it takes radical action to curb soaring healthcare and social security spending, Moody's, the credit rating agency, said yesterday. The warning over the future of the triple-A rating - granted to US government debt since it was first assessed in 1917 - reflects growing concerns over the country's ability to retain its financial and economic supremacy." -------------------- Given the universal tendency for governments world-wide to borrow to the point of collapse, is there some sort of economic or social "entropy" at work? Even unequivocal constitutional prohibitions on deficits and debt seem to have little to no effect. Does anyone have some suggestions, or is governmental debt something like aging, i.e. an inevitable part of life? other items of interest include http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/24/bu...gewanted=print http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/loc...0,227997.story http://financialservices.law360.com/...x%3fId%3d43793 |

As I indicated before California is not unique, just first, and thus she is the "canary in the coal mine" for the rest of the country. I would feel a lot better if this were a one-time situation rather than a chronic condition, where the constitutional prohibitions on debt and deficits have been systematically evaded. Note that this applies to all US states and most US municipalities, not just California. For some insight click on http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...d=ajdL7eUHeUro As long as the Left continues to teach and preach Entitlements, we are never going to get the People to stop trying or demanding a Government teat to suck on. The only thing Government owes any of us, is enumerated in the Constitution (and various state Constitutions) Its damned hard to figure out where all the multi trillion dollar entirlement programs have managed to spring forth from "promote the general welfare" There is not going to be a quicn and painless instafix. Its going to require that several generations of people be forced to revise their "Its owed to me" world view, and public executions of corrupt politicians and their lobbyists. And we start that by gutting the NEA and forcing the survivors to teach basic personal economics, fiscal restraint, personal responsiblity and the work ethic. Teach the little skulls filled with mush that if they dont produce, no one is going to ride to their rescue, (and in doing so, build their own beuracratic empire) and they are going to starve to death in a card board box someplace, unless they manage to find a Private charity to care for them for life. And then we execute all the business management teachers who preach short term profits and leave out the teaching of long term goals and responsiblity to the worker, the stockholder and the nation.

This can take several forms such as to other people/institutions in the current time frame (that are generally less able to pay, and have less political clout), to the future taxpayers through borrowing, and disguised as different wealth transfer mechanism such as "inflation" which operationally is a "capital levy" on everyone stupid enough to hold dollar denominated/based securities/assets such as cash, bonds, annuities, pensions, etc. The MBAs may indeed know how to "game the system," but this is a useless skill as soon as everyone becomes aware the game is rigged and refuses to play. |

There is a freeware package designed for "alternate" web tv downloading, viewing, and cataloging that may be of interest in addition to [or in place of] QuickTime. http://www.getmiro.com/ http://www.getmiro.com/download/ note that there are versions for Windows, Mac and several verities of Linux including Ubuntu [scroll down] If this is a topic of particular interest, be sure to check out the link-tv/mosaic recaps of the mid-east newscasts and their in-depth evaluations/analysis.
