Here’s just one version of the damning “woo-woo” evidence…comment 45. Various versions of this are posted on the hundreds of other political blogs…

Really now? I’ve driven thru Hanna a NUMBER of times, and never seen any signs saying DHS CONCENTRATION CAMP, RIGHT TURN AHEAD…CAUTION…WE’RE HIDING…

ok….here’s the proof…RATHER long…NO USA Concentration Camps

I got one for you…

You wanna believe in US Concentration camps?

Google “Swift Luck Greens”

DHS facility supposedly right here in Lil’ Old Wyoming.

Aerial pix and everything!

Find the main story, and you’ll find the long/lat for the facility.

Enter those into Google Maps/Google Earth/Yahoo Maps…your choice.

Just northeast of Hanna, Wyoming.

All done now?

Come back here and tell me what you find…

Only THEN, will I tell you the truth about this facility…unless you find it yourself…and you can post that bit of info here as well.

Yep…I can prove it…

See the next post….

…not to be a worry wart…the problems are mine. I have been dealing with hackers a LOT the past couple of months. Most of the problems have been due to a server level hack on my hosting company’s servers, affecting not just my site, but THOUSANDS of web sites on the companies dozens of servers.

I’ve seen spam appended to hundreds of files, using css code to hide the spam links (the worst hack adding 2508 spam links to nearly every index, login, home, default, auth, and admin file in hundreds of my directories), and I had to edit them by hand.

I’ve just found tonight, in a script I’ve been using for over a year, an URL shortener found here…

http://developers.jccorp.net/

that a subfolder of this short URL script had been hacked (I had NO CHMOD 777 folders ANYWHERE on my site), and that the same spam I had been removing from my pages, that were pointing to OTHER hacked sites on mostly .edu college and university websites, was now SOURCING and FORWARDING from my site.

I can not tell you how bloody angry I became at finding this.

The appended spam code was and is looking like this…

< u style=display:none >< a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/840505780197.html">cheap cialis < a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/8411792520159.html">order cialis < a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/8421918768617.html">hydrocodone withdrawal < a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/potentiate-hydrocodone/">potentiate hydrocodone < a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/8502024412430.html">cialis compare levitra viagra < a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/8441589492944.html">levitra vs cialis < a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/phentermine-without-prescription/">phentermine without prescription < a href="http://survivalring.org/url/ 1/2/30/8471141010198.html">phentermine side effects … and on and on…

It took a good 20 minutes for my FTP program to delete thousands of spam files from that subfolder above at /url/1/2/.

The latest hack that affected me BEFORE this hack was one that hit, again, the index/admin/default/etc php and him files, and REPLACED all of my code with the following code.

Not a good day…weekend…or even near future…

In the last two days, there have been one successful terror attempt (no deaths) at the Scotland Airport, two vehicles rigged to explode in London (both found and defused before any casualties), and great concern for those kinds of things happening in the US.

According to Michael Chertoff, the Director of US Department of Homeland Security, there is no valid information suggesting that there might be similar attempts of the same kind. His comments as of this morning are:

At this point, I have seen no specific, credible information suggesting that this latest incident is connected to a threat to the homeland. We have no plans at this time to change the national threat level, although we remind everyone that the aviation threat level has been raised to orange since last fall.

The Glasgow incident (eyewitness video) was witnessed by many, and involved at least two individuals who dorve the blazing Jeep Cherokee vehicle into the departures section of the main terminal of the airport Saturday afternoon.

In the Friday incidents, two different vehicles parked near nightclubs (actually only a few hundred yards away) were rigged to explode, yet failed to go off. Had they been rigged to create a secondary attack, where first one bomb goes off, and when the area is swarming with first responders and onlookers, then a second device explodes killing even more? I’ve yet to see this suggested in media, but it makes sense. With this in mind, it does seem to have all the earmarks of Al Queda connections.

According to Foxnews,

it emerged that a 53-page document alerting businesses to the threat posed by VBIEDs — vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices — had been issued to police two weeks ago. It had been passed on to the Tiger Tiger club only a few days before yesterday’s events.

The incident also appeared to be foreshadowed by a posting on an Internet forum used by terrorists, saying: “Today I say: Rejoice, by Allah. London will be bombed.”

Because of these events, the UK has raised their alert level to its highest rating of Critical Threat, which means “an attack is expected imminently”. Over half a million closed circuit cameras cover London, one of the most surveillance capable cities in the world. Given this fact, it should come out sometime in the next few weeks that video of the culprits has been found, leading to quite a bit of action in tracking them down.

Until then, all of us should remain vigilant in the US for similar activities, especially given this weekend of Independance Day celebration.

Be careful out there.

EDIT UPDATE ONE: I did receive a reference from at least one source that the multiple vehicles COULD have been intended for a layered, delayed, secondary attack.

EDIT UPDATE TWO: The complete story from the Daily Mail can be found at the Daily Mail website. It has on the seen photos of the terrorist actually on the seen and being doused with water by responders.

I see that the Wordpress programmers have released a new update to the open source Wordpress blog software package today, to fix some security issues, and even give users a taste of what is in the upcoming release of 2.1.

2.0.3 of Wordpress includes:

Small performance enhancements
Movable Type / Typepad importer fix
Enclosure (podcasting) fix
The aforementioned security enhancements (nonces)

Upgrading is fairly simple, just overwrite your old files with the latest from the download. When you go to your admin it will give you a link to update your database.

Doesn’t seem like much on the outside, but of the many blogs I am running (over 15), I’m running 1.5.2 for this blog and a couple more, while the rest are v.2.0.1. I need to do a little catching up.

In other news, MSNBC has a disturbing article about the health problems being reported and measured from the 1st responders who suffered all kinds of environmental toxins at Ground Zero, and inhaled a toxic cocktail of asbestos, mercury, silica, fiberglass and other potentially hazardous materials released when the twin towers collapsed.

On to the wild side…there is continuing talk of the US attacking Iran this summer is coming around again, this time from Prison Planet and Alex Jones. A Former CIA Analyst Says Iran Strike Set For June Or July, according to Ray McGovern. Read some of the tripe McG brings to the world, of reasons why this attack may, or may not, occur….

Personally, anything Alex Jones brings to the table, I will ALWAYS take with a grain of salt. I don’t know of a SINGLE news item he has released that has PROVEN to be true…always conspiracy…always an EEEE-vil Federal Government….ohhh…scary….

For those of you looking at career opportunities, and with an interest in digital video, I’d like to recommend a very cool and quite helpful magazine called Digital Video. Click the link and sign up for a completely FREE subscription. Let me know if the link doesn’t work for you…I hope it does. They ASKED me to share and recommend it…and I do appreciate the knowledge I’ve gathered from it…give it a try.

And now for something completely different…

Tom Flocco is a nut job. Completely.

I hope you’ve heard of the REAL reason for the shut down of the Capital in DC this week, due to “gunshots” being heard there.

The national news covered it here…and here…

Tom has a completely different alternative reality, which involved spies, terrorists, bombs, the shut down of the rail lines between DC and NYC, and a passel of Secret Body Shop Guys being flown in under cover of darkness….well, you will just have to read it for your self…..ewww….

That’s it for now…

More regular daily postings to follow…

Detention Camp Jitters
by Maureen Farrell

“Recent pronouncements from the Bush Administration and national security initiatives put in place in the Reagan era could see internment camps and martial law in the United States.”
– The Sydney Morning Herald, July 27, 2002

In 1984, the Rex-84 readiness exercise program was conducted by 34 federal departments and agencies, reportedly as an exercise to handle an influx of illegal aliens crossing the Mexican/U.S. border. Brought to Americans’ attention during the Iran-contra hearings, the exercise, which was conducted alongside another drill, “Night Train 84,” also tested military readiness to round up and detain citizens in case of massive civil unrest.

None of that ever happened, of course, and in many respects, it seems silly to even mention it. After all, other Reagan-era initiatives, like the Armageddon exercises Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld participated in, are far more interesting. Then, too, despite a brief moment of sunlight in the 1970s (when Congress, according to former President and CIA director George H.W. Bush, “unleashed a bunch of untutored little jerks out there”), emergency detention plans had been in place since the 1950s, without incident. Americans have not been herded into camps since World War II, so why worry about it now?

BURIED IN SPY AGENCY ARCHIVES, DOUBTS ON CAUSE OF VIETNAM WAR
By SCOTT SHANE
NYT Page One
10/30/2005

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency has kept secret since 2001 a finding by an agency historian that NSA officers deliberately distorted critical intelligence during the Tonkin Gulf episode that helped precipitate the Vietnam War, according to two people familiar with the historian’s work.

The historian’s conclusion represents the first serious accusation that the agency’s communications intercepts were falsified to support the belief that North Vietnamese ships attacked American destroyers on Aug. 4, 1964, two days after a previous clash.

Most historians have concluded in recent years that there was no second attack, but they have assumed the NSA intercepts were unintentionally misread, not purposely altered.

The research by Robert J. Hanyok, the NSA historian, was detailed four years ago in an in-house article that remains classified, in part because agency officials feared its release might prompt uncomfortable comparisons with the flawed intelligence used to justify the war in Iraq, according to an intelligence official familiar with some internal discussions of the matter.

Matthew M. Aid, an independent historian who has discussed Hanyok’s Tonkin Gulf research with current and former NSA and CIA officials who have read it, said he had decided to speak publicly about the findings because he believed they should have been released long ago.

“This material is relevant to debates we as Americans are having about the war in Iraq and intelligence reform,” said Aid, who is writing a history of the NSA. “To keep it classified simply because it might embarrass the agency is wrong.”

Aid’s description of Hanyok’s findings was confirmed by the intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the research remains classified.

Both men said Hanyok believed the initial misinterpretation of North Vietnamese intercepts was probably an honest mistake. But after months of detective work in NSA’s archives, he concluded that midlevel agency officials discovered the error almost immediately but covered it up and doctored documents so that they appeared to provide evidence of an attack.

“Rather than come clean about their mistake, they helped launch the United States into a bloody war that would last for 10 years,” Aid said.

President Lyndon B. Johnson cited the Aug. 4 episode to persuade Congress in 1964 to authorize broad military action in Vietnam, despite doubts about the attack that arose almost immediately.

Asked about Hanyok’s research, an NSA spokesman said the agency intended to release the material late next month. The release has been “delayed,” said Don Weber, the spokesman, “in an effort to be consistent with our preferred practice of providing the public a more contextual perspective.” Weber said the agency was working to declassify not only Hanyok’s article, but also the original intercepts and intelligence reports that form the raw material for his work.

The intelligence official gave a different account. He said NSA staff historians first pushed for public release in 2002, when Hanyok included his Tonkin Gulf findings in a 400-page classified in-house history of the agency and Vietnam called “Spartans in Darkness.” High-level officials initially expressed support, but the idea lost momentum in 2003, in part because of the concerns about parallels with the Iraq intelligence, the official said. Aid said he had heard from other intelligence officials the same explanation for the delay in public release.

Robert S. McNamara, who as defense secretary played a central role in the Tonkin Gulf affair, said in an interview that he had never been told of evidence that the NSA intelligence was altered to shore up the scant evidence of a North Vietnamese attack.

“That really is surprising to me,” said McNamara, 89, who Hanyok found had unknowingly used the altered intercepts in 1964 and 1968 in testimony before Congress. “I think they ought to make all the material public, period.”

Though Johnson had doubts about the Aug. 4 attack — he later told George W. Ball, the under secretary of state, “Hell, those dumb, stupid sailors were just shooting at flying fish!” — McNamara said he believed the intelligence reports played a decisive role in the war’s expansion.

“I think it’s wrong to believe that Johnson wanted war,” he said. “But we thought we had evidence that North Vietnam was escalating.”

Hanyok reportedly concluded that the deception was not known to or approved by top NSA officials or other high government officials, including McNamara. But the intelligence official said the evidence for deliberate falsification by mid-level NSA officers is “about as certain as it can be without a smoking gun — you can come to no other conclusion.

The supposed second North Vietnamese attack, on the American destroyers Maddox and C. Turner Joy, played an outsize role in history. Johnson responded by ordering retaliatory airstrikes on North Vietnamese targets and used the event to persuade Congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin resolution on Aug. 7, 1964.

It authorized the president to “to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force” to defend South Vietnam and its neighbors and was used both by Johnson and President Richard M. Nixon to justify escalating the war, in which 58,226 Americans and more than 1 million Vietnamese died.

The details of Hanyok’s analysis, published in NSA’s Cryptologic Quarterly in early 2001, could not be learned. But the issues he examined included the times given for certain intercepts and the wording of translations and reports prepared on the basis of NSA eavesdropping at the time.

For example, the official said, in one Vietnamese message intercepted on Aug. 4, 1964, the phrase “we sacrificed two comrades” — a reference to casualties during the clash with American ships on Aug. 2 — was incorrectly translated in some NSA documents as “we sacrificed two ships.” That phrase was used to suggest that the North Vietnamese were reporting the loss of ships in a new battle Aug. 4.

The original Vietnamese version of that intercept, unlike many other intercepts from the same period, is missing from the agency’s archives, the intelligence official said.

Though the NSA, the eavesdropping and codebreaking agency based at Fort Meade, Md., is among the most secretive agencies in the government, in recent years it has made public dozens of studies by its Center for Cryptologic History. A study by Hanyok on signals intelligence and the Holocaust, entitled “Eavesdropping on Hell,” was published in unclassified form last year.

Two historians who have written extensively on the Tonkin Gulf episode, Edwin E. Moise of Clemson University and John Prados of the National Security Archive in Washington, said they were unaware of Hanyok’s work but found his reported findings intriguing.

“I’m surprised at the notion of deliberate deception at NSA,” Moise said. “But I get surprised a lot.”

If Hanyok’s conclusion is correct, Prados said, “it adds to the tragic aspect of the Vietnam War.” In addition, he said, “it’s new evidence that intelligence, so often treated as the Holy Grail, turns out to be not that at all, just as in Iraq.”
