Craig Button's warplane when it disappeared from formation over the Arizona desert April 2 and began its mysterious flight, which ended with its crash on snowy Gold Dust Peak, near Eagle. Military officials said the search will continue for three weeks. Three days of searching last spring found only Button's remains, ammunition and parts of the plane's hydraulic system. (end quoting). (Comments by CONTACT: THE PHOENIX PROJECT...........Does this statement sound logical? With the technology that the government has, they can literally find a needle in a haystack - and yet they can't find more than stated here? How could a crash - as stated - scatter in such an illogical manner? What are they trying to hide - AGAIN??) Norio Hayakawa ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subj: What Did OKLAHOMA Governor Know? And When Did He Know About It? Date: 97-07-26 01:33:40 EDT From: GroomWatch To: Phikent, NorioA51S4 from SPOTLIGHT - July 21, 1997 Did an author "know something" about a fatal terrorist attack, or are names and places in a book manuscript just amazingly coincidental? BY MIKE BLAIR: Mostly ignored by the mainstream media, a book supposedly conceived by the brother of the governor of Oklahoma back in 1986, although not yet published, was one of the most strange things to surface since the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The book, THE FINAL JIHAD, was written by Martin Keating, brother of Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating (R), and its story line bears a more than striking similarity to the Oklahoma City tragedy. Because of the similarity, author Keating, a Tulsa attorney, expected his book to be a bonanza. However, published in April 1996 by an obscure California publishing house and appearing in bookstores at about the time of the first anniversary of the tragedy, the novel was almost totally ignored by critics and reviewers and has thus far proven a flop. It was, on the other hand, something that those connected with the bombing probe would, for obvious reasons, not have wanted to muddy the already murky waters of their investigation. In fact, about the only major story that has ever appeared about the book was authored by Arnold Hamilton of the Oklahoma bureau of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. In any case, a character in the then as-yet-to-be-published novel, was named Tom McVay. And if that wasn't a big enough coincidence to raise eyebrows, Keating's fictitious major suspect in a series of terrorist acts, Jack Stroud, was stopped by an alert Oklahoma state police officer who spotted a speeding truck with a flickering taillamp. And the policeman, another coincidence, does not immediately realize the significance of the man he has stopped. The unpublished manuscript surfaced shortly after now convicted Oklahoma City bombing "mastermind" Timothy McVeigh was caughter by an Oklahoma City trooper for speeding in his supposed get-away car from the crime scene and without a rear license tag on the vehicle. It was days before federal agents were to find McVeigh in a nearby lockup. This caused Gov. Keating to jokingly demand to know from his writer brother if he had a good alibi at the time of the bombing. Nor was this the first time that Gov. Keating, a former FBI agent, U.S. attorney and Treasury Department official who oversaw BATF activities found himself in the limelight due to what can best be described as peculiar circumstances. It was widely reported by federal investigators that the rear axle, the only sizable piece of the Ryder rental truck that McVeigh supposedly used to haul the 4,800-pound ammonium nitrate fertilizer and fuel oil (ANFO) bomb to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City, was found by the governor. Then, when that appeared too incredible, it was reported to have been found by an alert FBI agent, only to be revealed at McVeigh's trial that it was found by the caretaker at a nearby apartment complex. Writer Martin Keating, who gained momentary attention when the Dallas newspaper reviewed his yet unpublished work, claimed his brother had introduced him to some key FBI personnel in Washington, whom he indicated gave him some help in developing his yarn. The included Oliver "Buck" Revell, a deputy director of the bureau now living in Dallas, who was used as one of the "experts" that network television hauled before the cameras to offer "insight" at the time of the bombing. Revell, in fact, was one of those who cautioned about relying too heavily upon initial reports that the bombing was caused by Middle East terrorists. Martin Keating claimed that he was forced to revise his story line several times because his fictional events included what came to be other realities, including the bombing of a commercial building in New York City (the giant Twin Towers) and an attempt to crash an airplane into the White House. Keating also claimed that it was his story line of terrorism occurring in American's heartland, Oklahoma of all places, that was the reason why publishers had not already accepted the manuscript. It was, he said, too unbelievable for them. However, with the tragedy in Oklahoma, his literary agent indicated there were already "five major publishers in New York" lining up to get the work in print. As it turned out, it was published with virtually no fanfare by an obscure publisher in California that almost no one had ever heard about.

In a speech recorded in the February 24, 1974 edition of the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD No. 26, Vol. 118, Dr. Delgado had this to say: "We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. "The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. "Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Someday, armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain". The uninformed may think this sounds like science fiction but in the May 17, 1965 issue of the NEW YORK TIMES, Dr. Delgado had reportedly successfully connected electronic implants to the motor nervous system of a bull and could stop the charging bull in its tracks by radio control. In another report Dr. Delgado had surgically implanted a cat with an electronic implant which could transmit everything the cat was seeing and hearing to a nearby TV monitor. Who would ever suspect the cat was a "surveillance bug"? Well, considering the tremendous advances in large scale integrated circuits, electronic implants have come a long way since the sixties. Some electronic implants are smaller than a grain of rice and can be injected into the subject via a hypodermic needle. A recent law was passed in Los Angeles that any lost pets picked up by the pound had to be injected with a telemetry implant before being released. These telemetry implants are electromagnetically connected to the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system so that if the pet is ever lost again they can be immediately located by GPS monitors. Similar implants can now placed into newborn children at many hospitals. The selling point to the parents is that the children can be easily located if they ever become lost. Ronald Kane, Vice President of CUBIC Corp., a major manufacturer of implantable chips, while remarking on the chips profitability, has said, "If we had our way, we'd implant a chip behind everyone's ear in the maternity ward". Similarly some Desert Storm troops may have been implanted with telemetry chips so that their positions could be located on the field of battle to assist in rescue operations and minimize "friendly fire" casualties. THE I.B.M. 2020 NEURAL IMPLANT But, in view of the early work of Dr. Delgado for the CIA, the question remains what else might these electronic implants be capable of doing? Some idea might be gained from excerpts of a confidential memo covertly obtained in October, 1995 from: INTELLI-CONNECTION, a Security Division of IBM, 1200 Progress Way, Armonk, New York 11204: "CONFIDENTIAL, LIMITED DISTRIBUTION ONLY, LEVEL 9 COMMUNICATION, 2020 NEURAL CHIP IMPLANT... ..........."Federal regulations do not yet permit testing of implants on prisoners, but we have entered into contractual testing of our product. We have also had major successes in privately owned sanitariums with implant technology.........In California, several prisoners were identified as members of a security threat group, EME, or Mexican Mafia. They were brought to the health services unit at Pelican Bay and tranquilized with advanced sedatives developed by our Cambridge, Massachussetts laboratories. "The implant procedure takes about 60-90 minutes depending on the experience of the technician. We are working on a device that will reduce that time by as much as 60%. The results of implants on 8 prisoners yielded the following: "Implants served as surveillance monitoring devices for threat group activity. Implants disabled two subjects during an assault on correctional staff. Universal side effects in all 8 test subjects revealed that when the implant was set to 116 Mhz all subjects became lethargic and slept an average of 18-22 hours per day. All subjects refused recreation periods for 14 days during the 116 Mhz test evaluation..... "Each subject was monitored for aggressive activity during the test period and the findings are conclusive that 7 out of 8 test subjects exhibited no aggression, even when provoked. Each subject experienced only minor bleeding from the nose and ears 48 hours after the implant due to initial adjustment. Each subject had no knowledge of the implant for the test period and each implant was retrieved under the guise of medical treatment. The security windfall from the brief test period was tremendous. Security officals now know several strategies employed by the EME that facilitate the transmission of illegal drugs and weapons into their correctional facilities.....In Massachussetts, the Department of Corrections had already entered into high level discussions about releasing certain offenders to the community with the 2020 neural chip implants".

Date: 97-07-26 22:48:47 EDT From: GroomWatch To: Phikent from the MONITORING TIMES, July, 1997: The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) is headquartered at Edwards AFB, California. There is ample evidence to indicate that AFFTC operates the secret base at Groom Lake. This assumption is drawn because AFFTC appears on many documents regarding base security and land use. AFFTC is also the logical master, because Area 51 was founded for the testing of secret aircraft and Edwards is responsible for that function. Also, Det3, AFFTC, is the organization responsible for security at Groom Lake. In addition to AFFTC military personnel, Groom Lake is home to numerous civilian aerospace personnel that are there to support the testing program. An eyewitness of Groom Lake operations has revealed who occupies the various sections or sites on the base. Here is that exclusive list: S-2 Northrop/Grumman B-2 bomber, Tacit Blue, A-12 follow-on S-3 Unknown No air vehicles spotted S-4 Lockheed A-11, U-2, SR-71, F-117 (Have Blue), Darkstar (Tier 3 - UAV) S-6 Unknown Several variants of C-135 aircraft sitting around S-7 -------- seems to be in a caretaker status S-9 Teledyne Ryan Aero Tier 2+ and Tier 3+ UAVs One of the best sites on UAV programs can be found at: http://members.aol.com/Leoglovka/uav.html or, click: Leoglovka's Home Page Predator from Norio Hayakawa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AUGUST, 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subj: From NORIO: Numerical Symbolism of AREA 51 Date: 97-08-06 13:51:06 EDT Recently I received an interesting letter from Ralph Flye, a friend of mine and a prophecy researcher in Ft. Collins, Colorado, who would like to share the following. He wrote to me: "Why is Babylon discussed so much in Chapters 50 and 51 of Jeremiah and why does the book have 52 total chapters? Because in exoteric groups 52 is the key of destiny. It is the rounded form of 51 degrees and 51 seconds. 51 degrees and 51 seconds is the angle of the Great Pyramid. It is kept secret but in the ground below the Great Pyramid is the same structure you see above ground but flipped upside down. An octahedron shape at this angle forms what is called a Delta-T or Delta time antenna. This antenna is tuned to waves of time. The key of destiny is the control of time. The function of time is controlled by Delta-T coils. The Great Pyramid is an antenna connected to Earth's coiling magnetic time waves. The coiling snake in esoteric religions is a symbol for the Delta Time coil and remember Moses' snake ate Pharaoh's snakes. 13 X 4 = 52. Modern playing card decks are modeled after the 52 cards in the Egyptian Tarot card set. There are 52 weeks in a year. Israel became a nation in 1948 and when 52 is added you get 2000. At New Year's Eve of the year 2000 all living U.S. presidents are to meet at the Great Pyramid for a ceremony. 666.666...repeating times three equals 2000. The secret military research base in Nevada is designated 'Area 51'". (end quoting). My comments: I am not sure abut the "structure" below the Great Pyramid, etc. but Ralph's hypothesis is very interesting. Also, as far as AREA 51 is concerned, I have often wondered why AREA 51 had been randomly placed in the Test Site next to AREA 10, AREA 9, AREA 7, AREA 15, AREA 13....where there doesn't seem to be any sense of numerical contiguity for AREA 51!! Again, is this all coincidence? At New Year's Eve of the year 2000 all living U.S. presidents are to meet at the Great Pyramid for a ceremony. 666.666...repeating times three equals 2000." My additional two cents: It is alleged that May 1, 1998 will mark the 222nd anniversary of the so-called beginning of the infiltration of the Bavarian Illuminati movement. 222 X 3 also happens to be 666. Also, 1947 plus 51 = 1998. Perhaps a coincidence. Anyway, just a food for thought. from Norio -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forwarded message: Subj: Casolaro's Death, WACKENHUT and Covert Operations - A Review Date: 97-08-07 20:25:52 EDT From: GroomWatch August 10 marked the anniversary of the death of Danny Casolaro, an investigative reporter who was found dead as he closed in on a government secret. ANNIVERSARY OF A MYSTERY: WHAT INFO WAS FATAL TO JOURNALIST? by John Tiffany for the SPOTLIGHT -- August 11, 1997 A sinister international cabal whose weapons include political intrigue, espionage, trafficking in drugs, biotoxins and high-technology weapons, money laundering and murder has emerged from investigations of an obscure, isolated Indian reservation in California's remote Sonoran Desert. It's the Cabazon Reservation, home to a mere two dozen Indians and known to the outside world mainly for a 1987 Supreme Court ruling that tribes have the right to have bingo on tribal land, not subject to state regulations. Tied in with this many-tentacled monster are such globe-spanning exotic operations as: *The federal government's "outrageous, deceitful, fraudulent game of cat and mouse" (in the words of federal bankruptcy judge George F. Bason) aimed at stealing the privately owned software known as Prosecutor's Management Information System (better known by its acronym, PROMIS), valued at $5 billion; *The October Surprise: a multi-million-dollar laundered payment to the Iranians to delay the release of the U.S. hostages; *The dope and dirty money schemes of the Nugan Hand Bank *Assisting ballistic expert Gerald Bull in the refinement and distribution of his arsenal of weapons, including his Super Gun; *The development of the Fuel Air Explosive technologies thought to be responsible for the Beirut bombing which killed 241 American servicemen; *The Phoenix Project, which involved the murder of some 60, 000 Vietnamese civilians (financing said to have been provided by local drug lord Vang Pao); *Watergate; and *The assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Among the many victims of the Octopus cabal was Joseph Danny Casolaro, a reporter who was investigating the conspiracy and intending to publish a book about it. Originally he envisioned the title as BEHOLD A PALE HORSE, from the Bible verse "Behold a pale horse, and its rider's name was Death". However, he changed the working title to simply THE OCTOPUS. (* This has nothing to do with a book entitled "Behold A Pale Horse", written by William Cooper - Norio). Casolaro had learned that Michael Riconosciuto, a denizen of the shadowy world of covert operators, had asserted that he had personally modified the PROMIS software as research director of a joint venture of the Cabazon Indian tribe of Indio, California and the nation's third largest private security firm, Wackenhut. Riconosciuto revealed that part of his job had been to create a "back door access" into the program to allow spying into the files of its users, which included Britain, South Korea, Japan, Jordan, Canada, Israel, Egypt and Iraq - as many as 88 countries altogether. This would then be used for such activities as the tracking of terrorists and alleged terrorists. Casolaro died in what many suspect was a murder, although an attempt was made to make it look like a suicide, while trying to get to the bottom of the master conspiracy. The notes Casolaro carried were never recovered. His body was found in a hotel in Martinsburg, West Virginia, on August 10, 1991. Casolaro's family told of his informing them of vicious death threats he had received, and of his discovering important evidence just days before his demise. Casolaro was last seen alive (by someone willing to talk about it) in the parking lot of the Internal Revenue Service building in Martinsburg, where it appears he was waiting for a contact. Riconosciuto (* presently incarcerated - Norio) later told NBC's UNSOLVED MYSTERIES series "Danny had a source there inside the IRS's computer data center that was giving him hard copy printouts of IRS information on certain specific tagets Danny was after". In the bathroom of Room 517 at the Sheraton Inn in Martinsburg, the investigative journalist met his tragic end on Friday, August 9, 1991. The housekeeper described the scene: "It looked like someone threw the towels on the floor and tried to wipe the blood up.......but they didn't get the blood, they just smeared the floor". An autopsy showed the presence of drugs, for which no bottle or prescription was found. At Casolaro's funeral, two unknown figures appeared. One of them placed a medal on Casolaro's casket and saluted, although Casolaro was never in the military. With the help of Wackenhut and the Cabazons, the U.S. and Israeli governments developed their own version of a PROMIS back door and began looking for a "neutral" company through which they could sell the program to foreign intelligence services. The company chosen was Degem, a computer firm with offices in Israel, Guatemala and South Africa. It had been taken over for the purpose by Robert Maxwell, the publishing mogul and longtime agent for a number of intelligence services including Israel's Mossad (and possibly also British intelligence and the Soviet KGB) who drowned under unexplained circumstances in 1991. The software found a home in Guatemala, where it was used to track leftist insurgents. Even if they traveled under an assumed name, various characteristics, such as height, hair color, age and so on, were fed into roadside terminals and PROMIS searched through its database looking for common denominators. It would be able to tell an army commander that a certain dissident who was in the north three days ago had caught a train, then a bus, stayed at a friend's home and was now on the road under a different name. Allegedly PROMIS was used in South Africa to track and squelch the organizers of a strike among the coal miners via their mandatory identity cards. Degem also sold PROMIS to the USSR, and the system was utilized by its intelligence service at least until the coup against Mikhail Gorbachev. The saga of Danny Casolaro, which has yet to be properly told to the American public, would tell a tangled tale of far-reaching, hair-raising conspiracies that are still continuing today. (end quoting) For more info, go to: http://www.spotlight.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Norio Hayakawa The reason I have always been interested in this Danny Casolaro case (and the so-called Inslaw, or the theft of PROMIS software and the subsequent scandal) is because several years ago I had a privilege of meeting the wife of Michael Riconosiuto while I was giving a presentation in Anaheim, California, on Groom Lake Complexes. Michael Riconosciuto already at that time had been incarcerated. Mrs. Riconosciuto, I remember, told me at the end of the presentation that she did have an experience of encountering brilliant, reddish aerial objects arising out of China Lake Naval Weapons Center area several years ago. Moreover, Riconosciuto himself had some sensitive information on China Lake Naval Weapons Center besides just his involvement in the Wackenhut venture at Cabazon Indian Reservation relative to biological and chemical warfare researches. Michael Riconosciuto played a very important role in arranging for acquisition of sensitive information to Danny Casolaro. Michael Riconosciuto was also an expert in Ballistics and Fuel Air Explosions. Both he and Ted Gunderson ( a former FBI Chief Agent in Los Angeles, and a recognized authority on terrorism and religious cults) appeared on live camera a couple of years ago (in late 1995) and stated that the Oklahoma bombing could not have been the result of a few individuals using just a fertilizer bomb from the outside of the building. They both emphatically stated that the bombings (including one inside the building, as they say) was the work of a highly sophisticated and coordinated organization whose connections they are still investigating. Norio Hayakawa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from the Honolulu Advertizer - July 20, 1997, quoting from WASHINGTON POST: LAS VEGAS - In the dim light of her trailer, the widow dabs at her eyes and presents proof that the man she loved for more than four decades - "my Wally" - existed. Proof that he was born, worked, sacrificed, lived and died. An ordinary man, but one like no other. His name was Walter S. Kasza, and Stella Kasza wants you to know that, damn it, he existed. She displays his Army papers: He landed in Europe in 1944, fought in the Ardennes, earned three bronze stars. On the panneled wall hangs their wedding portrait - St. Norbert's Church in Detroit, 1950 - and pictures of their children. "You're together that long, you eat together, you sleep together", Stella says. More tears, another tissue. From the pantry she retrieves a brown paper bag full of empty pill vials. For years, doctors couldn't figure out why Wally was coughing so much, why his skin cracked and bled, turning their bed sheets red. They prescribed unguents, antibiotics, decongestants, pain killers. His guts ached for years, too, and when they finally found the kidney cancer, even morphine didn't help the pain. He died in April, 1995. He was 73. Stella Kasza, silver-haired, strong-willed, blames officials in Washington for what happened to Wally, and one in particular. "If Clinton was here right now I'd look him and say, "You know what you did to my man? You took my life away". She spits out several curses. Bill Clinton certainly did not kill Wally Kasza, but he has been forced to deal with his angry widow. Under a "presidential determination" that he must renew annually, Clinton has decreed that potential evidence related to Kasza's death is classified, top-secret, a matter of national security - and that "it is in the paramount interest of the United States" that none of it be disclosed. Why should Wally Kasza matter? He was a sheet-metal worker. For seven years he put up buildings and installed cooling systems at an Air Force base in the middle of the Nevada desert. But that base, about 100 miles due north of Las Veags........has no name. Top officials speak of it in the most general terms: "There is an operating location near Groom Dry Lake". Stella Kasza and some others know it as AREA 51. What's being covered up there, according to lawsuits filed by Kasza's widow, another worker's widow and five former AREA 51 employees, are environmental crimes. For several years, the workers say, they labored in thick, choking clouds of poisonous smoke as hazardous wastes were burned in huge open trenches. Military officers armed with M-16s stood guard as truckloads of resins, paints and solvents - materials used to make the Stealth bomber and other classified aircraft - were doused with jet fuel and set ablaze. Another sheet-metal worker at AREA 51, Robert Frost, died at 57, allegedly from exposure to hazardous wastes. Biopsies showed that his tissues were filled with industrial toxins rarely seen in humans. Men who worked there from the late 1970s through the early 1990s say that inhaling the smoke resulted in peristent respiratory distress, cancers and strange rashes. "Fish scales", the workers call these hard membranes. Some use sandpaper to remove the embarrassing growths from their hands, feet, legs and arms. What is the government's response to these stories? Nothing. The policy is that nothing illegal occurred at AREA 51 because officially, nothing occurs at AREA 51. Employees there cannot talk about the work they do. Everything and everyone connected to the base is classified - part of the military's multibillion dollar "black budget" operations. "Specific activities - both past and present......cannot be discussed", the Air Force says. That position infuriates Stella Kasza because it turned her husband into a non-entity. She sees it this way: If, officially, Wally Kasza didn't work at AREA 51 for seven years, then, officially his death had nothing to do with his job. "Someday I hope to visit Stella and not make her cry", says attorney Jonathan Turley, driving away from his client's triple-wide trailer in the Desert Inn Mobile Estates. Turley, a law professor, directs George Washington University's nonprofit Environmental Law Advocacy Center. He is representing AREA 51 workers and their families in a lawsuit against the government. He represented Wally Kasza before he died. The lawyer would meet the sick old man in secret, in cars and garages, fearful of detection by military investigators. His campus office remains sealed by federal court order --- students and others are not allowed to enter because the government says Turley's files hold documents that are classified. In a letter, a Justice Department attorney called Turley's attention to a state that prohibits unauthorized possession of national security information" and promises violators 10 years in prison. Turley is appealing the order that classified his office. The AREA 51 workers he represents also face 10 years in prison if they are caught disclosing anything. In court papers, they are identified only as John Doe. Their affidavits express fear of "retaliation, harrassment and injury" if their civilian employers or the military finds out who they are. Turley represents more than 25 workers pro bono. He filed the case three years ago against the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Defense. The plaintiffs aren't asking for money; they want information on the chemicals they might have been exposed to so they can get appropriate medical treatment. They also want the military to admit that burning barrels of toxic wastes - allegedly twice a week for more than a decade - was wrong. And they want an apology. "Let them admit the truth", one worker says. In a statement issued to The Washington Post, the Air Force touts its "strong environmental record", but spokesmen refuse to address any questions about AREA 51. The litigation puts the government in the position of trying to keep secret a 40,000-acre complex where airplanes and buses full of workers arrive every day. Hundreds commute from Las Vegas' main airport on 737 jets that bear no external identification numbers. Not only have Russian satellites photographed the base - huge blowups are for sale locally - but it can be observed from a nearby mountain.

(END QUOTING) - Norio Hayakawa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subj: SWAT Teams in Place Around America - Militarization of Elite Police Date: 97-09-17 12:44:43 EDT From: GroomWatch from SPOTLIGHT - September 15, 1997 by Mike Blair: SWAT TEAMS in Place Around America - Elite, militarized cops too often fail to protect and serve. Instead they are taught to search and destroy. Now they are trained that you are the enemy. Those who doubt that America is rapidly becoming a nation occupied and controlled by an armed military should consult the findings of a nationwide study undertaken by a team of researchers headed by Peter Kraska, a professor of police stu dies at Western Kentucky University. In the study, which covered 640 police departments in American cities with a population of 50,000 or more, some 90 percent were found to currently employ Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, an increase of about 30 percent just since the early 1980s. While traditionally such teams were called out for specialized operations, including hostage situations and to overcome barricaded gunmen, today the units are being used almost routinely to do the work that used to be done by beat cops. The SWAT teams even conduct regular patrols, garbed in urban camouflaged military-type fatigues. Often their faces are covered with masks or shields or may even by smeared with blackening agents to conceal them from detection in the dark. The rationale behind all of this is that the police today must deal with more dangerous criminals, frequently criminals involved in the multi-billion dollar drug trade in America. However, when one of these SWAT-type actions goes awry, the results can be catastrophic, even deadly for innocent American citizens. There are reports of these specialized units, often deployed with submachine guns and other weapons traditionally confined to the military, raiding the wrong homes in their efforts to seize dangerous criminals, illegal drugs or other contraband. There are documented cases, even reported from time to time in the mainstream media, where innocent citizens have been awakened from their beds by the intrusion by force into their homes of these black-clad warriors. There have even been shoot-outs between the officers and the citizens, who believe that their homes are being invaded by terrorists or criminal street gangs. Given the weapons and training of the SWAT teams, the citizens usually end up on the losing end of such engagements. "It's a very dangerous thing, when you're telling cops they're soldiers and there's an enemy out there", says Joseph McNamara, of the Hoover Institute at Stanford University. McNamara is the former chief of the Kansas City and San Jose, California, police departments. "I don't like it at all". The units attract a "different kind of officer", according to Kraska. Instead of the officer viewing himself in the traditional police role", to "protect and serve", the SWAT officer, Kraska says, thinks of himself as an elite special operations soldier, and one who receives premium pay for his work. MACHO STUFF "The SWAT temas love this stuff", Kraska said. "It's fun to fire these weapons. It's exciting to train. They use "simulation", like the paint balls and play warrior games. This stuff is a rush. "We have never seen this type of policing", he added, "where SWAT teams routinely break through a door, subdue all occupants and search the premises for drugs, cash and weapons". Kraska's survey concludes that the SWAT teams are often instructed by both active and retired U.S. military special operations personnel. They are not only being trained by the FBI, BATF and various other national police agencies, but it has become common practice for actual military special operations units to be involved. "Despite the conventional wisdom that community policing is sweeping the nation", McNamara stated, "the exact opposite is happening. The police and their communities ought to think seriously about this. Is there a need for SWAT teams? Yes, for highly specialized functions. But the police love these units and this is a disastrous image to project".

A week ago I was having breakfast at SAPP Brothers truck stop just south of Omaha. I had a UFO magazine with me when this trucker seated across from me in the non-smoking section asked why I was interested in UFO's. I told the trucker about my experiences, when I was finished the trucker toldme a story that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck...........A few weeks ago she and her husband were solicited to pick up a load from a military base in Arizona ( they weren't told where but were given a map by the dispatcher) They pulled into the base gate and uniformed guards hooked up the trailer which was "refrigerated". They were instructed to proceed thru Utah, stop into Wright Patterson in Ohio then go on to gues where......Wytheville, Virginia. Along the way they were instructed to "bypass" any weigh stations and to show the contents of an envelope to any law enforcement agency which might stop them. They bypassed a weigh ststion just east of Salt Lake City Utah when they were pulled over within five minutes by the highway patrol. Within two minutes of their truck being pulled over four unmarked "U.S. InterAgency" cars pulled up on the shoulder of the road and Two Black Heilocopters landed in a small field off the highway. One man dressed in as black suit came over to the highway patrolman with some identification then went over to the truckers cab and asked for the contents of the envelope which were shown to the officer. The Utah Patrolman was a bit shaken and told them in a pretty nervous fashion to get on their way. The copters took off immediately after the guy in the black suit boarded and the cars sped away...they were escorted by the same cars to a grassy road just west of a very large hill just a couple of miles from Wytheville, Viginia. There were trees close on both sides and from the secondary highway you could look right at the grassy area and not know it was a road. The trucker stated that they drove for twenty minutes at about 5 m.p.h. to huge doors imbedded in the side of a hill. They went down a gradual slope on concrete once inside. They said it looked like the inside of a modern office building, cameras all around, guards in black uniforms, no badges, no patches. One guard got inside the cab with them which the trailer was unhooked. They were then shown the way out through a very long tunnel, at least a mile or two long. They came out right next to a via duct, some chain link fences along an interstate route near Wytheville. The truckers said they had been though that area mnany times before but never saw this exit. The guard closed the normal looking serrvice gate after they passed through, got into a black humvee and drove back down the highway some distance behind them then they couldn't see him anymore. The area they were in was a remote wooded and hilly area then when they came out it was almost flat except for where the tunnel was coming out of the hill.........end of transcript...........This was related to me by a trucker whose partner been instructed to stay with the truck. They were taking another trailer from Ohio back to a base near Las Vegas, Nevada. Wonder where that could be.......Now here is the best part on the side of thre trialer was a small 12" rectangular logo which read "EG & G". Jack Kasher is aware of this story. Please be careful who you share this with as I promised the trucker anonimnity and gave them my card. If they have anymore weird loads they said they would fax me a note from a truck stop where they might spend a night or two. Should I hear from them when they are coming your way perhaps you could round up some serious investigative type people you know well and look into it ? Let me know what you want to do with this information "Per Ardua Ad Astra Ole Buddy"..........Cordially- Harry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER, 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Press: (Dec. 2, 1997) TOKYO - Tired of reaching for the remote control every time you surf the channels? Help is on the way - at a price. A Japanese company plans to market a device that changes television channels and activates household appliances at the flicker of a brain wave. The price: roughly 600,000 yen ($4,800). The product, called the Mind Control Tool Operating System, or MCTOS, is the result of a collaboration between the Technos Japan Co. and the Himeji Institute of Technology in southwestern Japan. Say you want to turn on the air conditioner. Simply focus on that icon on the MCTOS computer display menu while wearing a pair of beta-wave trapping goggles. Then, according to Technos spokesman Sadahiro Ushitani, say something like "Ei!!" inside your head. Soon your air conditioner will be pumping cool air into the room. Any strong mental affirmation triggers a brain signal that the goggles then intercept and feed to MCTOS' main computer. The computer then activates the chosen machine. "You can't just stare at the icon", said Ushitani. "You have to consciously send out a positive impulse". Other items on the display menu include lighting, stereo and electric bed controls. The menu can be expanded depending on what electrical goods are in the room. Ushitani believes the device can help in the nursing of the bedridden and paralyzed, and Technos has been flooded by inquiries from health care centers since it unveiled MCTOS last week. Those it might help include people with speech disorders who cannot use the orally activated remote control systems already on the market. Although similar breakthroughs in brain-wave technology have been made in the past, they have remained largely in the experimental stage and have been highly impractical. One device developed in the United States requires an electrode to be implanted in the brain. MCTOS is scheduled to go on sale in April, 1998. (end quoting). Comments: Wright Patterson Air Force Base had already been working on brain-wave induced cybernetic flight control systems since the early 50s. The very fact that brain-operated remote control is now coming to the public sector may be an indication that the military may now have more advanced systems used in leading-edge avionics applications in such locations as AREA 51 in Nevada. - Norio -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JANUARY, 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: CONCENTRATION CAMPS - PARTIAL LISTING?? from CONTACT: THE PHOENIX PROJECT, January 6, 1998 .......THE NEWS DESK, Special Report, 12/31/97 Dr. Al Overholt, courtesy James M.

Thank you for your attention. from Norio Hayakawa GroomWatch@aol.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The People's Rally at AREA 51 will take place as scheduled on Saturday, June 6, right at the restricted boundary line on Groom Lake Road, as previously announced. This will be a legal, publilc assembly and will take place on legal, public land. The event will be a spontaneous, peaceful gathering of concerned citizens. One of the primary purposes of the gathering will be to bring to the attention of the newsmedia once again the plight of former Groom Lake workers who are still suffering from illnesses caused by long-term exposure to highly toxic chemicals without their knowledge while working at AREA 51, the base that officially "doesn't exist". The former workers' and their families' plea is not so much to seek for monetary compensations but to seek for cures for their diseases. There are no organizations behind this event. It will simply be a spontaneous gathering. Quite a number of people may already be camping out overnight on Friday, June 5 at the site. The news media may show up to cover the event, depending on how much publicity will be generated regarding the event. The event will start at 6 a.m. on Saturday, June 6. Each participant is suggested to bring a mirror (of any kind......the larger the better) for the event. All vehicles are to be parked off Groom Lake Road. Lincoln County Sheriff Dept. will not allow any vehicle to be parked on the dirt road for the event. And also, early on Sunday morning, June 7, there will be a hike up to the ridges of Tickaboo Mountains to observe the Groom Lake facility. This particular hike may be a little strenuous since this time it will not orginate from the Alamo side, but will be from the west side, a direct "frontal assault" on the mountains from the Tickaboo Valley side. Norio Hayakawa. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subj: AREA 51......Alive, Well and EXPANDING!!! Date: 98-01-31 00:43:36 EST From: GroomWatch To: GroomWatch, NorioA51S4, Robalini To: enoch144@eagle-net.org, deva777@dedot.com There is no truth whatsoever to the ridiculous rumor that AREA 51 and its operations were abandoned and were relocated elsewhere, such as to Utah. Basically this rumor had originated from a disinformative article written by Jim Wilson that first appeared in the June, 1997 issue of POPULAR MECHANICS. The unexpected article no doubt was greatly appreciated by Nellis AFB and particularly those at the remote operating locations at Groom Lake facility. The folks at Nellis AFB probably rolled on the floor laughing over the article on AREA 51, which was for the most part filled with factual errors to their absolute delight! The June, 1997 POPULAR MECHANICS piece also brought much delight to then Secretary of the Air Force, Sheila Widnall. It is my hope that this type of misinformed article did not serve to curtail the general public's interest and rightful scrutiny of AREA 51 (Groom Lake Complexes), particularly in regards to those issues relative to the alleged infractions of environmental statutes at the site. The article, written by Jim Wilson, science editor of POPULAR MECHANICS, inferred that "the Air Force had abandoned top-secret testing at its once most secret test site". Then Wilson came to the conclusion and stated that "we know why and we know where they moved to (i.e., Utah)". Nothing is farther from the truth than this overly generalized inference. Jim Wilson, despite his probable sincerity and good intentions, obviously missed the whole picture. To begin with, he obviously took a wrong turn on "Groom Lake Road" and went to the wrong location. It was obvious from the photo that what he did was go south on the "Mail-Box Road" from Hwy 375, crossed the "Groom Lake Road" and went further south all the way till he encountered an old, poorly maintained wind fence, believing that he had arrived at the back gate of AREA 51, when actually he had arrived at the northeastern boundary of Range 61. There he decided that nothing was happening at AREA 51, and made a statement, saying "the 'cammo dudes' are no longer patrolling the perimeter of AREA 51" and further stated that "what we found was a securely locked wind fence that appears to have been undisturbed for months". He further commented than even though he had arrived at the back door to AREA 51, there was "no guard post". Brilliant!! (There never was any......ever at that location!!). He also stated in the article that the "warning signs flanking the gate aren't very threatening either". The reason for that is because there never was any "threatening" warning sign there except the sign that says NO TRESSPASSING.....Nellis Bombing Range. It is because that location is not AREA 51......it is the northeastern boundary of Range 61. Wilson then came to the naive conclusion that "AREA has shut down!!! Again, a brilliant conclusion! I suggest next time that he go to the right location........towards the real Guard Shack area.......(west all the way on Groom Lake Road)....where he may really encounter the 'cammo dudes', white Jeep Cherokees and perhaps a military chopper or two to welcome him, if he dare go to the Guard Shack area. He would also see some real "threatening" warning signs along the dirt road that clearly say LETHAL FORCE WILL BE USED. From what I understand from several reliable sources, Groom Lake has not had a major lessening of activity whatsoever. In fact, there may be more going on at Groom Lake now than before. In October of 1997, I observed Groom Lake facility from high atop Tickaboo Peak and verified with my own eyes that the facility is not only there but even thought that there may be slightly more buildings there than before. A couple of new water tanks seem to have been added recently behind the big hangar. Also deducing from a fairly recent panoramic photo that I acquired (allegedly taken right after the closure of both Freedom Ridge and White Sides) I have no doubt that there are some new constructions going on along the southwest slope next to Groom Lake. (I had observed Groom Lake facility a number of times before from both the White Sides hill and the Freedom Ridge before those hills became off-limits to the public). Also, the night prior to climbing the Tickaboo Peak in October of 1997 , we were standing at the exact spot where Jim Wilson had stood........at around 7:30 p.m. at the northeastern boundary of Range 61. As we were looking towards the direction of Groom Lake, we were surprised by a sudden illumination of the sky just over the direction of Groom Lake and witnessed around 3 or 4 red "balls" of lights that appeared over the direction of Groom Lake and then disappeared momentarily, after which the sky over that area returned to total darkness. I could not speculate what those reddish "balls" of light were......but this went on intermittently for about three times during the next 20 minutes or so. There was no doubt that there was activity of some kind that night at Groom Lake. This was in stark contrast to the allegation by Jim Wilson that nothing was going on at AREA 51 when he was standing at the northeastern boundary of Range 61, looking towards Groom Mountains. Probably nothing major was going on that was visible on that particular day or evening when he was there. Moreover, we have to bear in mind that most sensitive programs are thought to be conducted below ground level, to begin with. Primarily because of the misinformative article from POPULAR MECHANICS, the whole world seems to be under the impression that there is nothing going on at AREA 51, and that everything had moved to the Green River Missile Launch Complex in Utah. One of the erroneous facts that Jim Wilson mentioned in the POPULAR MECHANICS article was that there was an "officially named AREA 6413" in Utah. There is no "officially named AREA 6413" in Utah. What he meant to say was Restricted Air Space 6413 in Utah. However, even to this date, one can easily get right next to the Green River Missile Launch complex. There is nothing top-secret going on over there. Rather than the Green River Missile Launch Complex (which Jim Wilson inferred as the possible site of the New AREA 51), we should keep a closer eye on the new programs going on at Dugway Proving Grounds. It is far more interesting there than the Green River area!! All in all, the POPULAR MECHANICS article was in such a drastic constrast to the more well-researched article that coincidentally appeared one month prior, in the May, 1997 issue of POPULAR SCIENCE in which Groom Lake was mentioned several times, with an inference that there was still plenty going on at Groom Lake. Some of the ongoing programs at AREA 51, according to reports from Monitoring Times and other publications, seem to include a new series of B-2 follow-on by Northrop/Grumman at S-2, possible series of newer Darkstar (Tier 3 - UAV) by Lockheed at S-4 and Tier 2+ and Tier 3+ UAVs at S-9 by such as Teledyne Ryan Aero. In June of 1997, after the article appeared on POPULAR MECHANICS, I was informed that some new components of new, small-scale VTOL produced by Lockheed had just been transferred to Groom from Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California. There is no doubt that there are new generations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (remotely controlled surveillance platforms, etc.) being tested at Groom Lake. New testing of "skins" for outer coating for a new generation of stealth program is going on as well, as inferred by the May issue of POPULAR SCIENCE. A new generation of "electro chromic panels" are probably continuing to be tested at the facility. A move towards daytime "stealth" capability (such as through the use of special sensors for transmission of image reflections of the background enviroment on the lower as well as upper bodies of the aircraft) may be in the works at AREA 51. I would not be surprised at all if they were working on such as tri-dimensional holographic image maximization that could be part of "electro chromic panels" used to reflect background environment on the aircraft to bring about distorted image of the aircraft as well. Anyway, there may be some new programs going on in Utah and elsewhere, but to infer that AREA 51 "moved" to Utah is totally unfounded. Norio Hayakawa http://www.eagle-net.org/groomwatch
