Minds, Machines, and Madness: Human Time Machines and the War on Terror

Terror Information Quagmire

 

Ever wonder what kind of web-based sources of information can trigger an alert? These days everything appears to be on a hair-trigger, probably because public officials are afraid of being caught with their pants down if an independent alert just happens to get it right.
 

A recent example involves a Jerusalem-based website, Debka.com which Associated Press cites as the source of heightened security in New York City. The warning issued by Debka, allegedly based upon intercepted al Qaida messages, predicted a possible dirty bomb attack, against New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami.

Debka is self-reporting the reaction to the online report:
 

New York scales down extra security measures a day after responding to al Qaeda radiological threat reported in DEBKAfile

August 12, 2007, 8:48 AM (GMT+02:00) New York police reduced the extra security procedures that were introduced Friday night, Aug. 10, after DEBKAfile reported a surge in on al Qaeda Websites threatening New York, Los Angeles and Miami with dirty bomb attack by trucks carrying radioactive bombs.

The three cities identified as potential targets by Debka are among the list of likely port city targets for a nuclear terrorist incident; we'd add the San Francisco area, Seattle, and San Diego on the west coast to the top of the list. According to author Jon Ronson, remote viewer Angela Thompson warned of mushroom clouds over Denver, Seattle, and Florida. Coastal cities with major sea ports would be likely targets for a terrorist nuclear attack, as was recently emphasized by the July appearance of Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff at the Port of Los Angeles.

Chertoff appeared at a firestation near the port of Los Angeles, which is adjacent to the port of Long Beach, the subject of a RAND study on the use of a nuclear weapon of mass destruction. Just weeks before the Chertoff visit, a privately-sourced psychic warning had identified the port of Long Beach as a possible target of a 'loose nuke' but the 'remote-viewed' data suggested that it was the RAND report that had been picked up and not a real threat. The remote viewed information identified an 'executive' and a fire station near the port of Long Beach (Chertoff appeared at a fire station in the nearby port of Los Angeles) and the yield and effects of the possible attack closely matched the RAND study.

If any of this has you questioning the ability of government officials to thwart a real attack, we'd like to point out that Chertoff "unveiled a new strategy for the rapid resumption of trade after a terrorist attack at a major U.S. port."

Warrantless Wiretapping Bill Approved

 

The Washington Post is reporting that "The Democratic-controlled House last night approved and sent to President Bush for his signature legislation written by his intelligence advisers to enhance their ability to intercept the electronic communications of foreigners without a court order."

Starstream Research gathers open source intelligence and maintains contacts with foreign nationals, including our contributing British associate.

According to the Washington Post, the legislation "... would allow the interception and recording of electronic communications involving, at least in part, people 'reasonably believed to be outside the United States' without a court's order or oversight," and "White House spokesman Tony Fratto emphasized that the bill is not meant to increase eavesdropping on Americans or 'to affect in any way the legitimate privacy rights' of U.S. citizens. Data related to Americans in communications with foreigners who are the targets of a U.S. terrorism investigation could be monitored only if intelligence officials have a reasonable expectation of learning information relevant to that probe, a senior U.S. official said."

EXEMPT from LEGAL RECOURSE

FBI Told of National Security Issue Buried in UFO Tale

November 2, 2006

New details released by the on-line investigative report produced by Starstream Research

An on-going investigation by Starstream Research revealed that in late August of this year three agents of the Washington Bureau of the FBI met with an undisclosed party and discussed a UFO tale involving several former and present government intelligence officers. Multiple sources have confirmed that following this meeting concerns were raised that secure government vaults may have been breached at a USAF base and Los Alamos National Laboratory, under the guise of a 'harmless' UFO investigation.

Discussion of this issue was directed to an official under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and eventually transmitted between official government email servers. Some of the confidential information was passed to a SSR contributing writer, and later confirmed by a party directly involved in the investigation.

The SSR contributing writer has received a request not to publish transcripts of confidential email messages on the web.

Previously concerns had been raised that sensitive or classified material had been passed in a series of counterfeit government UFO documents. One government source suggested that counter-intelligence information targeted to the KGB had been publicly released within some of the documents. A prior investigation by the FBI had concluded that the documents were "bogus."

Starstream Research first learned of the renewed interest in the bogus documents from an independent researcher, following on-going contact with a high ranking U.S. Government intelligence officer. An amicable meeting with the officer and his wife in Washington, D.C. later took on a bizarre twist, when the researcher was accused of asking inappropriate questions about a sensitive operation, resulting in cancellation of previously scheduled meetings with a former USAF counter-intelligence officer and other sources at the center of the UFO tale.

A consultation with the researcher and another source present at the meeting determined that the most likely explanation involved a deliberate effort to scare off potential sources of information about the AVIARY, an unofficial and loosely knit group of present and former government intelligence officers interested in the UFO phenomenon. It was later suggested that Starstream Research may have bumped into a counter-intelligence operation during the course of the investigation.

The founder of Starstream Research commented, "Although our focus has been on documented government interest in unusual phenomena for intelligence gathering, we suspect the use of phenomenology for intelligence may be closely tied to real cloak and dagger activities, both past and present."

It is now known that the CIA previously welcomed UFO reports as convenient cover for real-life spy plane sightings. One theory is that intelligence operations continue to infiltrate the world-wide network of phenomenologists and encourage their activities for a similar purpose.

It is also suspected that other governments have similar networks in place, and that may be the source of the on-going concern over the UFO material.

The extent of any additional reporting to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is not known.

Involvement by the FBI appears to have raised a red flag, marking a demarcation line drawn between personal interest in government cover-up of UFO phenomena and more serious issues involving top secret clearance.  There has been a lot of finger pointing involved, and that is what appears to have lead to FBI involvement, when they were alerted to the UFO activities during a review of other security issues.

Some members of the AVIARY have developed the reputation of being 'untouchable' in spite of semi-public breaches of confidential information.

Headline Story Killed Over National Security Concerns

Starstream Research has pulled an on-going investigative news article from publication at the request of an official of the U.S. government, and his associate in the private sector.

In an email addressed to Starstream Research founder Gary S. Bekkum, the officer requested removal of his name and position, writing "These are irrelevant to your story and compromise personal and national security." Following redaction of the sensitive information, an associate of the officer raised additional concerns about the content of the story, resulting in an editorial decision to remove the article.

The request came in response to a Starstream Research inquiry about leaked background information that made its way into a widely distributed email list, resulting in exposure of the confidential identity of a government official who reports directly to John Negroponte, the Director of National Intelligence.

The story was briefly posted on July 5th, 2006, and shortly after removed from the Starstream Research website. The story was dropped prior to release through the on-line newspaper "The American Chronicle."

The original email included a series of allegations that were passed through various parties on the internet, and shortly thereafter appeared in a series of emails distributed to an extensive list of contacts, including numerous scientists with government email addresses, a Nobel prize winner, various journalists, a former Director of the CIA, and other former and present government employees and consultants. Several of the recipients are high ranking intelligence officials and consultants to the U.S. government in the area of national security.

One of the allegations contained in the original series of messages was that Starstream Research founder Gary S. Bekkum was "a de-facto member of the Aquarium; we would expect you to play this on the wild side, relatively speaking," implying that Starstream Research might be part of an on-going counter-intelligence operation.

Bekkum denies that he is involved in any intelligence operation, "except to the extent that I maintain contacts with various individuals that sometimes provide interesting leads for our stories at the Starstream Research web site."

In the last year Starstream Research has focused on the CIA STAR GATE files, a collection of over eighty-thousand pages of previously classified documents about the efforts to use psychics to spy on targets that could not be accessed using conventional means. In 2005 Starstream Research uncovered a series of documents in the STAR GATE collection featuring imagery that strongly resembled the 9/11 events, suggesting that some of the psychic spies may have foreseen 9/11 in the 1980's. Many of the CIA released documents may be viewed at the Starstream Research web site at:

Experimentalist Ken Shoulders Predicts Exotic Vacuum Object Disruptor

July 5th, 2006

In a statement released today, Ken Shoulders predicts a new application for his discovery of exotic vacuum objects, also known as charge clusters.

According to Shoulders, "With the advent of a slight addition to EVO technology ... a form of miniature disruptor device capable of both initiation of munitions and destruction of electronic communication and control devices becomes available."

Shoulders describes how an EVO may enter ammunition, leading to  detonation caused by the additional excitation of the EVO as it passes through the shell casing.

Shoulders predicts that the applications of EVO technology "seriously undermine the capability of governments to control their populace by the form of force presently used."
