Last Sunday, Fox TV News re-ran a one-hour documentary called 'Iran: The Nuclear Threat.' From start to finish, it assumes (without presenting any evidence) that Iran is building nuclear weapons and is a horrendous threat to the peace of the world. The only dissenting views shown are there merely to demonstrate how stupid or devious some people are (people such as a UN weapons inspector and an Iranian spokesman). Watching it, the sense of déjà vu is overwhelming. It's almost exactly like the buildup to the attack on Iraq: call the inspectors woolly-headed, call the deniers liars, call the dissenters cowards. Assert the case but offer no evidence to support it...

The US media is nowadays filled with news on Iran's nuclear threat, preparing the American public for yet another Middle East conflict without, however, maintaining a modicum of balance by reflecting the Iranian point of view.

Like almost every other mainstream U.S. media outlet, the New York Times has provided little coverage of Vanunu, so the American public has scant knowledge of his real-life experience with truth and consequences. Likewise, the Times has little to say about Washington's extreme hypocrisies while the newspaper and the government denounce certain other countries for their nuclear programs. But the New York Times has not skimped on coverage that adds to momentum for a military attack on Iran. And evidently the newspaper of record is just getting started...

In the story under this headline from today's news, James Woolsey, former CIA chief, that Iran could do catastrophic damage to U.S. infrastructure by detonating just one nuclear bomb at a high altitude creating an "electro-magnetic" pulse (EMP) wave.

While a nuclear explosion can create an EMP wave, it is not the only way.

It seems appropriate to reissue the following article from July, 2000.This author also wrote two other articles on EMP in 1999.

LOS ALAMOS A RED HERRING?

We are being told by media pundits that the security lapses at the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory present the worst threat to our national security in decades. Could anything be worse? In a word, yes!

David Bresnahan, an investigative reporter for WorldNetDaily, has published two articles on the burgeoning scandal at the Army Research Lab (ARL) at Maryland’s Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Allegations, based on reports and documentation from at least ten whistleblowers, include "a long history of corruption, including use of Army computers by unauthorized foreign nationals, plagiarism, falsification of research, illegal appropriation of private property, even smuggling of precious gems."

Various members of Congress have been provided the information and have been sitting on it for four years while nothing has been done. Why the cover-up? It may have something to do with type of research and development being conducted at the lab.

We may have been given a clue on March 19, 1999 at President’s Clinton’s press conference when Fox News reporter Wendell Goler dropped this bombshell. He stated, "Fox News has information that China has stolen top secret technical data on Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) weaponry from four of our eleven secret weapons laboratories and have successfully tested the weaponry." Since that day, not one word has appeared in the national media on the subject. Instead, we have been inundated with information about lapses in security at the Los Alamos nuclear lab.

EMP weaponry stems from the findings and inventions of the brilliant European scientist Nikola Tesla, who gave us alternating current electricity. His research is being applied at a top-secret installation in Alaska called HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research program).

Although passed off as merely a scientific inquiry into phenomena like aurora borealis (northern lights), in reality it is testing such things as anti-missile lasers, massive weather modification and non-lethal "psychotronic" weapons for use against military and civilian populations.

When questioned about appropriations for the HAARP project, this writer’s representative in Congress (who sits on the House Science Committee) admitted those appropriations are buried in the "black budget" for the intelligence community.

This writer has written two articles on the subject detailing the capabilities of EMP weapons and their development and use, not just by the United States, but by Russia. Copies of those articles ("Chinese Steal EMP Weapons Secrets-Huh?" of 3/21/99 and "EMP Weaponry-A Conspiracy of Silence?" of 10/14/99) may be obtained by directing an E-mail to jimrarey@comcast.net with the phrase "EMP articles please" in the title line.

Since those articles, the United States has successfully tested a laser weapon which destroyed a live missile in mid-air. News reports say the weapon will be furnished to Israel for its defense against short-range missiles from its neighbors.

So the as yet unanswered question is, was the Aberdeen Army Research Lab one of the four facilities Fox News was talking about on March 19th of last year? If so, the suspicious deaths of three key players takes on added significance.

Bresnahan reports that two of the whistleblowers, ARL scientists Franz Lynn and Robert Deas, died shortly after trying to report their suspicions that technology from ARL was being provided to China. Deas died in a single-car accident in Canada. Lynn’s death was reported as a suicide.

Even more intriguing is the supposed "suicide" of John Millis, staff director of the House Intelligence Committee. Washington Times reporter, Bill Gertz, in a 6/28/00 article described Millis, "(he) had access to the U.S. intelligence community’s most intimate secrets. He knew about all U.S. covert action operations, which require written presidential notifications. He also was privy to the most sensitive information collected by CIA agents, electronic eavesdropping and photographic satellites."

Was someone afraid that Millis was going to go public with his knowledge of activities bordering on treason? According to Porter Goss, Chairman of the House Select Intelligence Committee (and himself a former CIA case officer), Millis had been suspended from his job and was under investigation for (undisclosed) "inappropriate" actions. Although no classified documents were reported to have been found in the motel room where Millis supposedly shot himself (no suicide note was found either), Security officials reportedly found some in a safe at Millis’ home.

What is known so far (by the public) may be just the tip of the iceberg. There is obviously a massive cover-up in progress. Whistleblowers can only be cowed by the three deaths and reportedly are being harassed into silence under the rubric of "national security."

Something big is going on. Stay tuned!

PRESS RELEASE

STOP THE WAR COALITION ELECTION DEMANDS

Stop The War Coalition welcomes the fact that the lies surrounding the legality and the legitimacy of the war with Iraq has come back centre stage in the run-up to the election.

But we are outraged that, in the face of the overwhemling evidence that he contrived reasons for war with Iraq, Tony Blair now refuses to rule out a future war with Iran.

Stop The War demands that

* if re-elected, the Prime Minister, will promise that in the face of US "plans" to wage war with another sovereign state he will not connive to lend British support.

* all legal opinion for concerning wars must be published

*to know whether procedures have already been put into place to ensure British troops withdraw from Iraq by December of this year in accordance with the UN mandate.

"An opinion poll in today's Independent shows 60 per cent of voters want the our troops out of Iraq by Christmas in when the current UN mandate expires," said StW spokesman Chris Nineham. "If they are to be home by Christmas, then an order must go out pretty soon otherwise we must be planning to break another UN mandate.

"As yet more evidence piles up to show how phoney the justification was for war with Iraq, all Blair does is shrug his shoulders and say, 'A decision had to be made.'

"We want to ensure that there can not be a repeat performance of such decision making. He uses Condoleeza Rices words to ay say there are no plans for a war with Iran but clearly they cannot be trusted. Should "plans" develop then we want an up front assurance that he will say "No!"

"And we believe the precedent for not publishing legal evidence to support the case for this war - and all future wars - should be overturned immediately."

Secret Agent: Rumsfeld Sneaks Off to Baku

Unreported in U.S. press, he stalks oil and Iran in Azerbaijan

So, all you families out there, get ready to send your kids to Iran to fight for "democracy"—and to keep China from getting all that oil so that our oil companies can continue to prosper.
