"With the rise of the industrial revolution and the
incalculability of the job, at least four kinds on unemployment became chronic
phenomena in all nations addicted to the machine." - Stuart Chase, 1931
"The larger concern is that technological "nature"
will shift the baseline of what people perceive as the full human experience of
nature, and that it will contribute to environmental
generational amnesia."- Jolina Ruckert
"We live
in a reality of old and new that doesn't
conform to cliches.
The important idea is that we must rethink what we mean by the term
'technology'.
When we imagine technology we typically focus on
innovation, progressive time lines, dates of 'invention' and 'first
use'.
In the 1940s everyone
was excited about supersonic flight and atomic power, and in
history books we continue to think
of that era being dominated by those technologies.
Those
history books are derived from
propaganda about technology.
One might more correctly think of the
1940s as a time of tanks, aeroplanes, cars,
coal,
wheat and
pig farming.
'
Futurism of the past' falsely
conditions our conception of the past.
Our understanding of technology
is driven by an obsession with
glamorous innovation, systematically
narrowing our field of vision.
This tendency is exacerbated
by narratives which repeat
themselves over time, irrespective of what actually happened in
history.
We have
the steamship,
the railway,
the airplane,
the radio,
global trade, the internet and the
"coalition of the willing" all portrayed as breaking down barriers between
nations.
The end result? We are blinded by cliches when we turn our mind
to technology.
There is a consensus in
commerce that certain areas of
technology are sexiest and should be concentrated on.
We should invent
techniques that fill needs
rather than those that are sexy. |
 |
If we stop thinking about
technology, as we have conventionally conceived it, and think instead about
'things', we might better grasp the complexities.
We might even
decommission the word 'technology' which has an inbuilt futurist spin." - David
Edgerton, historian of technology
"The consumer driven economy
of America is based on a constellation of concepts about ourselves, reality,
growth, wealth, and
the world we live in.
These conceptions deny the relevance of moral business
activities.
Nature is to be
used for human benefit, and
anything that cannot be
counted or measured in monetary terms has limited or marginal "utility."
Earth is valued for
resources, assumed to be infinite and inexhaustible.
We have faith that
human ingenuity will find suitable
substitutes for shortages, and
technological "fixes"
for serious degradation
of the natural environment.
In order to "progress" the economy
must grow and every "rational economic
person" will strive to amass as much
material wealth as possible.
This false belief
encourages overconsumption as a way of life.
Exiting the Garden of Eden we enter a world of
boundless freedom without
natural limits or
moral restraint on human
action.
The roots of our
alienation from nature, forged by the corporate dream merchants, has become
the new religion.
In feeding the dream of
material salvation here and
now, corporations see an ideal
marketing target who
rejects tradition,
focuses on immediate gratification, and is
steeped in desire for all things new.
The average American is
exposed to hundreds of
advertisements each day, and the process begins at an early age.
Even if the specific product is not remembered, the overall message is:
there is a product to meet
your every need, if only you will buy it.
In
irrational addiction to
more, we practice a kind of collective blindness.
Many of us pay frequent lip-service to the
"free market."
We
disregard some fundamental
precepts, a disregard that has serious environmental
consequences." - Donald O. Mayer
Inslaw
PROMIS
1973
William Hamilton founds a non-profit organization called the Institute for
Law and Social Research to develop case management software for law
enforcement office automation.
Funded by grants and contracts from the
Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), the Institute
developed a program it called "PROMIS", an acronym for
Prosecutors' Management Information System, for use in
law enforcement record
keeping and case-monitoring activities.
The
PROMIS software is originally
written in COBOL for use on mainframe computers.
A later version is
developed to run on 16 bit mini-computers such as the DEC PDP-11.
The
primary users of this early version of the software were the United States
Attorneys Office of the District of Columbia, state and local
law enforcement.
Both the mainframe and 16 bit mini-computer versions of PROMIS are
developed under LEAA contracts, and in later
litigation, both
Inslaw and
DoJ eventually agreed that
the early version of PROMIS was in the
public domain,
meaning that neither the Institute nor its successor had exclusive
rights.
1979
DoJ contractes
with the Institute for Law and Social Research to do a pilot project
that installes versions of PROMIS in four US Attorneys offices.
1980 Congress votes to abolish the LEAA.
Hamilton
decides to continue operating as a for-profit corporation and market the
software to current and new users.
1981 William
and Nancy Hamilton establish the for-profit
Inslaw, transferring the
Institute's assets over to the new corporation.
Hamilton claims the
real power of PROMIS, with a staggering 570,000 lines of computer code, is
the ability to integrate
innumerable databases.
In essence, PROMIS can turn blind data into
information.
Lawrence McWhorter, director of the Executive Office for US
Attorneys, "We're out to get Inslaw."
C. Madison "Brick" Brewer at one
time worked for Inslaw, but was allowed to resign when Hamilton found his
performance inadequate, according to court documents.
Brewer was then
hired by the DoJ specifically to oversee the contract of his former
employer.
Brewer is aided in his new DoJ job by Peter Videnieks.
Videnieks was fresh from the Customs Service, where he oversaw contracts
between that agency and Hadron, Inc., an incorporation controlled by Ed Meese
and Earl Brian.
A contract dispute evolves over the next few years over
ownership of the code.
Later Judge Bason finds
the DoJ, "unlawfully,
intentionally and willfully" tried to convert the INSLAW Chapter 11
reorganization case to a Chapter 7 liquidation "without justification and by
improper means." The DoJ "took, converted, stole, INSLAW enhanced PROMIS by
trickery, fraud, and deceit."
March 1982 Inslaw
enters into a $9.6 million contract with the Justice Department to install the
public domain version
of PROMIS in 20 US Attorney's offices as a pilot program.
August 11, 1982 DoJ lawyer reply for clarification: "To the
extent that any other enhancements (beyond the
public domain PROMIS)
were privately funded by Inslaw and not specified to be delivered to the
Department of Justice under any contract or other
agreement, Inslaw
may assert whatever
proprietary
rights it may have."
Inslaw converted the 16-bit version of PROMIS
to a 32-bit architecture running on a DEC VAX minicomputer.
May 6, 1983 Dr. Ben Orr leaves the DoJ with a computer tape
containing PROMIS tucked under his arm. PROMIS is then given or sold at a
profit to Israel and as many as 80 other countries by Dr. Earl W. Brian, a man
with close personal and business ties to then-President Ronald Reagan and
then-Presidential counsel Edwin Meese.
"The importance of PROMIS is
that it is not only capable of interfacing with a wide variety of data bases in
different computer languages and then integrating the data, but it has also
been modified for intelligence purposes. It has then been sold throughout the
world by spy agencies through third parties to clients such as banks and
investment houses envious of its unique capabilities. One key modification by
agencies such as the CIA and
Mossad not disclosed
to most users - is
a secret
"back door" that permits those with the right codes to enter databases
undetected, retrieve and/or alter information, and leave without a trace.
PROMIS has been extensively reported as being used throughout the world's
financial markets because of its versatility in facilitating international
transactions." - Tom Flocco
1981 Robert Philip Hanssen is transferred to FBI headquarters
in Washington, DC.
Hansen oversees all the FBI activities related to
wiretapping and electronic surveillance and becomes known in the Bureau as an
expert on computers.
1983 Valery Martynov and
Sergei Motorin, KGB spies working out of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, are
recruited by the FBI.
David Wise reported complacent cynicism of the
Russian spies who were given a list of secrets to steal.
Afraid they
would get kicked out if they got caught they didn't try spying very hard as
they "loved the city, with its comfortable, consumer-friendly lifestyle."
Martynov and Motorin are summoned back to Moscow and shot.
1987 Hanssen is given the task of making a study of all
penetrations of the FBI in order to find who betrayed Martynov and
Motorin.
1990 Hanssen's brother-in-law, Mark Wauck,
an FBI employee, recommended to the Bureau that Hanssen be investigated for
espionage.
February 18, 2001 Robert Philip
Hanssen, active in Opus
Dei, has been tasked with helping allies with the installation and use of
their versions of the PROMIS software.
It is alleged that Robert Philip
Hanssen sold high-tech PROMIS software to the Russian KGB for $1.4 million in
cash and diamonds.
Robert Philip Hanssen negotiates a plea bargain that
enabled him to escape the death
penalty, is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole,
and is required to submit to a
gag order with
respect to public comments.
It is claimed Robert Philip Hanssen gave his
handlers a technical manual on the secure network for online access to
US intelligence community
databases, Field Office Information Management Systems (FOIMS) and
Community On-Line Intelligence Systems (COINS).
Law enforcement
authorities state FOIMS and COINS are upgraded versions of PROMIS
software.
Spy's Wife Speaks, After Taking a Lie Test
October 16, 2001 Mr. Hamilton claims the FBI confirmed that
the government had used PROMIS to track classified information in federal law
enforcement and intelligence agencies.
September 11,
2001 Command and control computer systems at the Federal Aviation
Administration and Northeast Air Defense Sector fail.
The official
version of the failure of the command and control computer systems at the
Federal Aviation Administration and Northeast Air Defense Sector is due
to the fact that Usamah bin
Mohammad bin Laden used PROMIS software to take the computers offline.
"The terrorists who
committed 911 through their "super-user" access to the most critical computer
networks of the US government still have that access. " - Christopher
Bollyn
Indira Singh worked for
JP Morgan in a field called Risk
Management, involving computer systems and programs designed to keep the
entire information and financial structure of
JP Morgan safe.
The new
system would detect money
laundering and other crimes in real time and then do something about it;
perhaps alert an "intelligent" software agent or a person, or shutdown the
transaction immediately. Indira Singh had also worked with a Defense Advanced
Research Project - DARPA-funded technology group, with close ties to the CIA.
"People will find the trail to P-Tech, and it won’t be hidden or
buried, I’ve kept it alive, whether they’ve renamed their
incorporation and moved on I wanna keep the names, the details, everything
alive, no matter what I have to do, so that, should there come a time for
justice and accounting for 9/11. ... the software that’s in P-Tech is very
much like PROMIS."
The Story of Indira Singh
MITRE and Ptech
"The aviation agency is installing a computer
system that controllers can use to determine whether aeroplanes can depart from
established traffic lanes and fly long distances, and whether they will
conflict with other aeroplanes by doing so." - New York Times of June 7,
2001 Monte R. Belger*, Acting Deputy of the
FAA from 1997-2002, was
the key decision maker
responsible for upgrading the FAA computerized air traffic
control system with MITRE and Ptech.
Documents and reports from the
MITRE Center for Advanced Aviation System Development in McLean, Virginia, show
that Ptech was working with MITRE on FAA computer systems.
After he
left the FAA, Monte R. Belger became the "Vice President, Government
Connection" of a small Israeli run incorporation based in the Fort Lauderdale
area called US Aviation Technology.
US Aviation Technology was founded
by Ehud "Udi" Mendelson*, who described himself as "a captain in the
prestigious Army Intelligence Unit of the Israel Defense Force."
The
Israel Venture Capital Research Center website specifically name Monte Belger
of Centreville, Virginia, as a Vice President and Government Connection of US
Aviation Technology LLC.
Ehud Mendelson, Chief Technology Officer of US
Aviation Technology, promoted a remote-control system that allows a "ground
pilot" to monitor and adjust the computer flight systems on aircraft giving the
ground pilot all of the data and the visuals that the pilot in the aircraft
has.
"We put the ground 'pilot' in the cockpit." - Ehud Mendelson
"Ptech was with MITRE Corporation in the basement of the FAA for two
years prior to 911. Their specific job is to look at interoperability issues
the FAA had with NORAD and
the Air Force in the case of an emergency.
If anyone was in a position
to know that the FAA -
that there was a window
of opportunity or to insert software or to change anything - it would have
been Ptech along with MITRE.
Ptech software is utilized at the highest
levels of almost every government and military and defense organization in this
country including the Secret Service, the
FBI, the
DoD, the House of
Representatives, the Treasury
Department, the IRS, the US Navy, the US Air Force, and, last but not
least, the Federal Aviation Administration." - Indira Singh
James Rodney Schlesinger was
United States Secretary of Defense from 1973 to
1975 under presidents
Richard Nixon and
Gerald Ford.
He
became America's first Secretary of Energy under Jimmy Carter.
James
Rodney Schlesinger* was Chairman of Board of directors of MITRE.
The
MITRE Corporation manages Federally Funded Research and Development Centers
(FFRDCs) supporting the DoD, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
On March 5, 2009, MITRE was awarded one of two FFRDCs supporting the
Department of Homeland Security as the operator of the Systems Engineering and
Development Institute (SEDI).
Ptech's roster of clients included
several governmental agencies, including the United States Armed Forces,
NATO, Congress, the Department
of Energy, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Customs, the FAA, the IRS, the
Secret Service, and
the White House.
"I found it hard to believe that the most sensitive government and
military computers would run enterprise software from a Lebanese-owned start-up
incorporation called Ptech from Quincy, Mass. I soon discovered that the real
key person involved in the development of the incorporation was a Zionist
Jewish lawyer named Michael Goff from Worcester, Mass. Michael Goff also worked
for an Israeli-run computer security incorporation called Guardium." -
Christopher Bollyn
Ptech had a security clearance to work on sensitive
military projects dating to 1997. On December 5, 2002 a raid by federal
authorities under the auspices of Operation Green Quest was conducted at Ptech
headquarters.
The
purpose of the raid was to stop funding of terrorist organizations.
July 15, 2009 FBI unsealed indictments against
former PTech CEO Oussama Ziade and former PTech CFO Buford George
Peterson.
Peterson was
arrested at JFK Airport
as he returned to the US.
Ziade remains at large overseas.
The
indictments charge Ziade and Peterson with concealing PTech's relationship with
and dealing in the assets of the Specially Designated Global Terrorist, Yasin
al-Qadi.
Yasin al-Qadi's wife is part of the Jamjoom family, and her
father, Qadi's father-in-law, is a former high-ranking Saudi finance
minister.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective
with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that
the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace
unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done
purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish
to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
