FEDS THREATEN INTERNET

The following disturbing tale comes from the excellent Prison Planet website and was sent by Kass.

“Amazing revelations have emerged concerning already existing government plans to overhaul the way the internet functions in order to apply much greater restrictions and control over the web.
Lawrence Lessig, a respected Law Professor from Stanford University told an audience at this years Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference in Half Moon Bay, California, that “There’s going to be an i-9/11 event” which will act as a catalyst for a radical reworking of the law pertaining to the internet.
Lessig also revealed that he had learned, during a dinner with former government Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke, that there is already in existence a cyber equivalent of the Patriot Act, an “i-Patriot Act” if you will, and that the Justice Department is waiting for a cyber terrorism event in order to implement its provisions.” Click for more.

WHERE EVIL LURKS IN THE HEART OF MAN, THE CHICKEN KNOWS

The secret words are Sweet and Sour

CITIZENS ARE PISSED OFF

“More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.
The national survey of 1,010 adults also found that anger against the federal government is at record levels, with 54 percent saying they "personally are more angry" at the government than they used to be.
Widespread resentment and alienation toward the national government appears to be fueling a growing acceptance of conspiracy theories about the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Suspicions that the 9/11 attacks were "an inside job" _ the common phrase used by conspiracy theorists on the Internet _ quickly have become nearly as popular as decades-old conspiracy theories that the federal government was responsible for President John F. Kennedy's assassination and that it has covered up proof of space aliens.” Click for more.

IN THE MATTER OF SECRET DECODER RINGS

For a very long time I have wanted there to be a Doc40 Secret Decoder Ring as merchandise and a prize, and for fun and insurrection. Now it seems the dream may be within my grasp. I have discovered a manufacturer who claims to be able to supply the object of my anarchist desire, made from recycled plastic, and very cheap – although not so splendid as the Ovaltine one above. If it hasn’t been discontinued since the web post. The only snag is that the minimum order is 1000, and since I have never been a mail-order wizard (quite the reverse in fact) I will need all the help, advice, input, donations I can get, plus a consensus that we need this thing as badly as I think we do. (It would also seem an ideal tool for Iggy and his post-FEMA resistance. See last Friday “Amazing Email”) Meanwhile here’s a basic rundown on decoder rings from the website Exploratorium.

“The Captain Midnight decoder ring (which is an "encoder" ring as well) allows you to do a simple substitution cipher. It usually has two concentric wheels of letters, A through Z. You rotate the outside ring and substitute the letters in your message found on the outside ring with the letters directly below on the inside ring (see diagram). Here, the algorithm is to offset the alphabet and the key is the number of characters to offset it. Julius Caesar used this simple scheme, offsetting by 3 characters (He would have put the "A" on the outer ring of letters over the "D" on the inner ring if he had owned a Captain Midnight decoder ring.) The word "EXPLORATORIUM" thus becomes "HASORUDWRULXP." Such a scheme was easily broken and showed a certain level of naivete on Caesar's part concerning the enemy's intelligence.”

And also a history from Wikipedia

And now for an experiment.

THIS IS PETER WYNGARDE

(This true confession is triggered by comments on yesterday’s post Amazing Ego)

Back in 1969/70 after I had split from the original Deviants and they were rapidly becoming The Pink Fairies, I grew a full beard in what, I figure, must have been some kind of subconscious, Al Gore penance. The beard made me look like Phineas Freak so I shaved it off, leaving a handsome Zapata mustache of the kind that were currently all the rage. Unfortunately, it caused me to bear a unfortunate resemblance -- with or without a purple shirt -- to a fictional character called Jason King, the somewhat effete hero of the then popular, mod-a-go-go TV series Department S. This was less than enjoyable. Small children would shout at me in the street and I would have to threaten to murder them and stuff them in a drain to make them desist. Then uncomfortable turned to downright dangerous when actor Peter Wyngarde, who played Jason King, was busted for "gross indecency" with a truck driver in the toilet of Gloucester bus station, and drunken swaddies, thinking I was Wyngarde, (or close enough for rock & roll) would howl after me in the street and want to play “brutalize the homo.” Thus the mustache was also put to the razor, and I have been, give or take some spaghetti-western stubble, clean shaven ever since. The whole experiment with facial hair only lasted a matter of months but it comes back to haunt me because it occurred at the time Mona – The Carnivorous Circus was being released and is preserved in the publicity and cover photos.

Peter Wyngarde was actually quite an interesting cat, grew up in a Japanese POW camp, and released a strange and cult-sensitive solo album (which I would like to hear.) Click to learn more.

The following email arrived from our pal Iggy who is clearly less than happy about the State of the Nation. I’m keeping my peace and will wait for you guys to comment. (The Doc40 post to which Ig refers is for last Saturday – July 26th.)

"Ah, the coffins... they're on Doc40 with a link to Alex Jones... they, Sir, are pure evil, manifested in the banality of dark gray plastic. Discovered years ago but just coming into popularity now, along with the Gunnerson Steel shackle-equipped railcars, destined for folks like me, we think. Red list, blue list... you know... the company that makes 'em is a legit maker of such things and other funerary goods, but these are FEMA owned and number in the hundreds of thousands. There are other sites like the one in the vid, which is out there all over the place in different lengths... along with a smattering of others by different folk, one of which I've located on Google Earth. Just as big. Jeezus.Basically, the prevailing theory is that, in addition to the population reduction that's part of the 'big picture' as envisioned by Kissinger, Brezinski, et al, that their next false flag operation will be much bigger than 911, and will signal national martial law, with the REX84 detention plans coming alive... (been scaring the bejeezus out of myself for the last couple weeks seeking them out... there's lots)... So, a couple of weeks before the s hits the f, they're to round up baddies like me (I so hope it's false as my dream of the future will be deftly dashed)... us Red guys will be offed and put in these things to be conveyor belted into a crematory doorway after a neatly stacked train ride out... after experiencing the exciting shackle-train ride in. Blue guys (less bad) get slave labor duties starting two weeks after the flinging of freedom out the window... being told there's some sort of thing or happening that requires their, uhum, relocation... I saw photos of the cars... which were almost immediately taken down... sigh. A bit far-fetched for the mainstream, but I look at these things pretty intensely and it just scares me. A lot. I just don't see any good explanation for them otherwise... and REX84 and similar things are quite real, along with a list of executive orders removing any feeble hint of freedom seemingly at their whim.So that's the nutshell... be glad to go into more if you'd like of course... Be well, Mick, Ig"

YESTERDAY WE HAD AN EARTHQUAKE

It wasn’t much of an earthquake, although it’s been a while since we had one. (The above picture is, alas, from a movie.) The motion felt like cognac being swirled in a giant balloon glass and I was the cognac. Just a 5.1 with the epicenter some thirty miles away in Chino Hills. Of course, one never knows that it’s not going to be much of an earthquake when it starts. There’s always the chance that the ceiling will fall down and kill you and that will be the last thing you see, but yesterday I couldn’t overcome the inertia enough to panic. It had been a bad night. Insomnia from nicotine withdrawal, some fool drilling in the wall outside my window, some other fool playing Verdi very loud. (Yes, Verdi) And then, well a fucking quake. I looked at the cat. The cat looked at me. Should we even get out of bed? The cat, who is very old, shrugged and shook his head. Why bother? What were we going to do? Stand under a doorway? If we lived to see the authoritarian lady from Cal Tech on the local news, all well and good, but, if the seismic event had our name on it, so be it. You can’t influence tectonic plates. But here we are, and all was well, and, I guess, on to the next one.

FOR LONE GUNMEN EVERYWHERE

Thanks to Iggy I have a whole new set of perspectives to choose from regarding the Zapruder film and how the version that we see today may well have been totally fucked-with by Time Life or other culprits back in the late 1960s so it conformed to the scarcely plausible timeline for the JFK shooting established by the Warren Commission. (Fascinatingly Time Warner now owns the cable that enables this blog to reach you.) For another angle on the conspiracy, just check out what happened to the members of the Warren Commission in later life. They were so well rewarded, one even became President. This is as opposed to the witnesses who had a terrible habit of turning up dead. Click for the Zapruder analysis.

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY WITH BERGMAN BLOODY BERGMAN

The day is not exactly hot, but jungle humidity rests heavy on a slight hangover and no cigarettes, enough to make me wonder if the world already ended and no one told me. But the really irksome factor is that, even with five hundred channels of TV, I still find myself watching Bergman’s Seventh Seal by default, and wondering why, as the dog days approach, every movie on offer has been infinitely recycled, and the History Channel runs a Monster Quest marathon.

WEEKEND WORLD CONSPIRACIES

Although I freely admit that conspiracy theories are the individual’s best defense against chaos, I have never had time to delve with any depth into the miasma of conspiracy that surrounds the real nature and the real origins of the attacks on the USA of September 11th, 2001. My only excuse is that I was too busy waiting for a deathbed confession to provide and nail the final details on the JFK/RFK murders. After reading this encapsulation of the current state of 9/11 theorizing (in the form of a kind of “9/11 For Dummies”) I couldn’t help but frown in awe at some points, but also mutter “prove it” at others.

WHY ARE A HALF MILLION COFFINS STOCKPILED IN ATLANTA?

The following story of how a half million airtight coffins like the one above have been stockpiled in Atlanta, Georgia, was supplied by Kass, and very few positive aspects immediately present themselves as we read “apparently the Government is expecting a half million people to die relatively soon, and the Atlanta Airport is a major airline traffic hub, probably the biggest in the country, which means Georgia is a prime base to conduct military operations and coordination. It is also the home of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but usually you don’t buy 500,000 plastic coffins “just in case something happens.” (Click for the full story on video.)

The secret word is Dubious

HOPE IS NOT JUST A TOWN IN ARKANSAS

(pic from Tom Sutpen)

The following came over Doc’s cluttered cyber-transom, I’m not sure from where, but it was written by an individual called Niki…

“I have no idea where we go from here. Abolishing the Federal Reserve and restoring the function of currency creation to the US treasury was tried by JFK. And yes, the banksters assassinated him (also McKinley and Lincoln for the same reason). At this point we don't even have the JFK option of issuing silver backed certificates because the gold and silver are gone. When the Vietnam war depleted our gold reserves Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard. Federal Reserve "notes" are worthless.
The more I investigate, the more I see how colossal this is. This plan they have is not only for global domination in the military sense because they are getting rid of political boundaries established by national sovereignty. Abolishing traditional countries and governments (with their pesky regulations and human rights) to control and monopolize markets globally. When they look at the world they see markets and profit, not people and trees. If we get in the way of their unbridled greed we are expendable. All they care about is personal wealth. The mind control we have been subjected to in this country for at least 100 years is staggering. It has been so successful I never even realized what this system is in reality. The internet has educated me at last.”

I have seen these kind of sentiments more times than I care to recall over the long decades of resisting authority, and if I ever fall to sharing them, or accepting Orwell’s vision of the future as “a boot stamping on a human face – forever”, or that we the people are wholly impotent and totally controlled, then I know it will be time for me to step off the cliff with all the other lemmings. While I contintue to believe a people, angry, organized, and determined can achieve anything they want to achieve, I can continue to hope, and agree with Emiliano Zapata that “it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!”

NOW AND THEN WE WIN ONE (This time for the wolves)

The following note (see last Saturday) came to Doc40 from Frances Beinecke, President of the Natural Resources Defense Council…

"It's the best possible news. Seven weeks after we went to court, a federal judge has ordered the Bush Administration to restore endangered species protections for wolves in the northern Rockies until the full case can be heard. This interim victory is nothing less than a life-saving reprieve for hundreds of wolves outside Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Since the Bush Administration stripped the region's wolves of federal protection, a total of 110 wolves have been brutally killed in as many days. But Judge Donald Molloy ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service "acted arbitrarily" in taking the wolf off the endangered species list and turning their management over to the states. That means Wyoming, Montana and Idaho will be forced to abandon plans to allow the extermination of hundreds of wolves this fall as part of a massive public hunt -- the first in more than three decades. Simply put, the wolves of Yellowstone and the northern Rockies are much, much safer today than they were just last week. This incredible, eleventh-hour victory never would have happened without your strong support."

The secret word is Howl

YO HO-HO! IT'S THE COKE SUB!

Way back in January of 2004, Doc40 ran the story of how police found a small, half-assembled submarine of seemingly Soviet vintage hidden behind a Texaco station in Facatativa, Colombia. Today it would appear that the pirate submarine is the favored mode of transport for bringing in the blow. The following report came in over the weekend.

"MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican troops seized a small submarine smuggling drugs in the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday, the military said. A navy plane spotted the craft about 140 miles south of the tourist resort of Huatulco, setting off a three-hour chase, Rear Adm. Hector Mucharraz told Reuters. The green-colored submarine, carrying what was believed to be cocaine, was about 32 feet long and appeared to be a makeshift or modified vessel. "The submarine traveled almost at the surface of the sea and when it came up we took advantage," said Capt. Benjamin Mar, a navy spokesman. Special forces troops swooped on the submarine from a helicopter and subdued the crew of four, he said."

Although this was the first coke sub stopped by the Mexicans, this Coast Guard blog reveals how the Colombians are up to their nautical ass in C-Boats.

"It was the second time in a month that Colombian forces, backed by the U.S. Coast Guard, stopped an underwater craft that was then sunk by its crew members to destroy their incriminating cargo. Both submarines had the capacity to ship 10 to 12 tons of cocaine to the world's biggest market. Colombia's navy has stopped 18 cocaine submarines since 2005."

A SPECIES DIVIDED?

The idea in the following story (supplied by Elf Hellion) that humanity will, over next millennium, divide into Herbert George Wells' Eloi and Morlocks poses a couple of problems for the Doc who sprawls discontentedly. For a start, I kinda figured humanity was already devolving into 500 lb snack-gorging Fox-watchers, and those of still capable of at least minimal reason and empathy. There’s also the fact that, on a bad day, I can hardly believe the human race will survive past lunchtime.

“Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said. Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge. The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.
People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.
The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.” Click for the rest of the story

STOP KILLING US YOU BASTARDS

37 wolves had been slaughtered since the Bush Administration stripped them of their endangered species protection in March. Now a terrible new milestone has been reached: 106 wolves have been killed in the past 118 days. That's close to one wolf killed every day. And if Wyoming, Idaho and Montana have their way, at least 900 wolves -- nearly 60 percent of the population -- could be exterminated this fall, when a massive public hunt begins. Make no mistake: This will be the very last summer for many of Yellowstone's wolves -- unless immediate action is taken to stop the killing. Tourists visiting Yellowstone have been horrified to learn that the very wolves they've traveled hundreds and thousands of miles to see are being gunned down just outside the park. Hundreds of tourists a day are signing petitions to protest the slaughter. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), is circulating those petitions in the park and taking court action -- along with 11 other conservation groups -- to compel the Bush Administration to restore protection for the wolves.

MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE?

While he bumbles his way through a presidential campaign, flanked by his Stepford, multi-million, pro-dom wife, John McCain would be tragic in his ineptitude, except that the mainstream media seem prepared to forgive his blatant cluelessness, and to grovel and genuflect before what should laughable because McCain is a supposed war hero, and thus, they tell us, eminently qualified to command the armed forces of the nation. Counterpunch, however, presents a whole new side to the story, claiming that he was a willing collaborator with the communist North Vietnamese. This could be disinformation but I disseminate it anyway, because McCain is a fool we don’t need in power.

“Not content with divulging military information, McCain provided his voice in radio broadcasts used by the North Vietnamese to demoralize American soldiers. Vietnamese radio propagandists made good use out of McCain. On June 4, 1969, a U.S. wire service headlined a story entitled "PW Songbird Is Pilot Son of Admiral.” (7) The story reported that McCain collaborated in psywar offensives aimed at American servicemen. "The broadcast was beamed to American servicemen in South Vietnam as a part of a propaganda series attempting to counter charges by U.S. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird that American prisoners are being mistreated in North Vietnam." On one occasion, General Vo Nguyen Giap, the top Vietnamese commander and a nationalist celebrity of the time, personally interviewed McCain. His compliance during this command performance was a moment of affirmation for the Vietnamese. His Vietnamese handlers thereafter used him regularly as prop at meetings with foreign delegations. In the custody of enemy psywar specialists, McCain became what he is today: a professional psywar stooge.” (Click for the whole story)

FUCK THE NEW YORKER AND IT'S LAME-ASS COVER

I may, of course, have missed some crucial nuance – but I am pretty damned good at crucial nuances – and I can only find the current cover of The New Yorker ill-conceived, off-target, and moronic. Aside from being appalled by The New Yorker’s frightening inability to discern where the line between satire and stupidity actually occurs, I can’t resist perversely asking what is so fucking wrong with being either a Moslem or an ideological descendant of Angela Davis? But digging deeper, I have to wonder if this isn’t really the product of a coy liberal racism that undeniably works beneath the platitudes and cocktail parties of the progressive. I figure it’s akin the friends who tell me the stumbling, potato-resembling McCain will be the next president because middle America will never elect a black man to the White House. They may be right, but some seem to exhibit a kind of the concealed pleasure on the pronouncement as though it reassures them to know that middle America is a swamp of racist fear. As an unreconstructed anarchist I have to believe that the people are somehow better than that and, at the very least, self-interest and the knowledge that a McCain administration would reduce the USA to chaos, depression, and abject poverty, faster than a falling Soviet Union, will place them grudgingly behind Obama. Or is total collapse what’s needed before change can come?

And talking of McCain, how does being shot down and tossed in a POW camp for five years qualify one as a military genius? Okay, so he was unlucky but…

"WASHINGTON — Red Cross investigators concluded last year in a secret report that the Central Intelligence Agency’s interrogation methods for high-level Qaeda prisoners constituted torture and could make the Bush administration officials who approved them guilty of war crimes, according to a new book on counterterrorism efforts since 2001.
The book says that the International Committee of the Red Cross declared in the report, given to the CIA last year, that the methods used on Abu Zubaydah, the first major Qaeda figure the United States captured, were “categorically” torture, which is illegal under both American and international law."
