Subject: I suspect nuclear weapons have been stolen from U.S. military

On my behalf I am invoking the legal concept of prima facie in my communications with the Inspector General, United States Department of Defense.
I have secret identities as authorized by the United States Central Intelligence Agency and I am communicating details about two of my secret identities. In one secret identity, I am the senior ranking officer of the United States federal government and I have held that rank since 1976 during time of war and during other times as directed by legitimate civilian authority.
I have reason to believe that domestic terrorists are actively planning to destroy with stolen nuclear weapons at least 1 American city. I have further reason to believe that subversive elements of the U.S. federal government are working to provide cover for those pending acts of domestic terrorism that I believe are being actively planned. I believe that George Bush, Richard Cheney, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Joint Chiefs Mike Mullen, and others such as Barack Obama and John Edwards of North Carolina, among others not named here, are actively providing cover for those pending acts of domestic terrorism.
The motivations behind those probable attacks that I suspect are simple greed and revenge.
The greed is because there is a tremendous amount of commercial value to my secret identity and that commercial value is in no way tied to my service with the United States federal government.
The reason for the revenge is simply because they got caught.
George Bush got caught selling classified and critical secrets to communist governments and George W. Bush helped him. Bill Gates and Paul Allen of Microsoft joined the George Bush team of national traitors against the United States and they got caught too.
The central element to all that greed is because of my secret identity and because I have lived a secret life because of my activities in space in 1976. Before I was even born, someone discovered that a large comet was going to strike the Earth in the future and so plans were created to stop the comet from hitting the Earth. I was selected for that mission for several reasons. One is that my family is very well-connected and because of those connections my activities were more likely to succeed. Another is that my biological family on my father's side has a genetic trait that sometimes results in advanced mental awareness at early age. The strength of that genetic trait varies among my ancestors and descendants but the trait was very strong with me and I was mentally alert at a very early age. By the age of 3 years I was consuming vast amounts of information from encyclopedias and was capable of understanding everything I read and of applying that vast
knowledge with a capacity greatly exceeding someone of my age. By the age of 6 years, I was teaching graduate students at Princeton University and I graduated there with a Medical Doctor degree on 5/21/1969 and then I was a board-certified surgeon on 10/9/1971. On 5/1/1973, I graduated University of Oxford after studying physics and law and I passed the Multistate Bar Examination on 7/23/1973. My thesis for my juris doctor degree at University of Oxford was on that colonization of the planet Mars. The reviewers of my thesis seemed disappointed that I chose that particular topic because it seemed boring for someone with my stellar academic achievements but what I was not telling them was that I would actually be the first person to land on the planet Mars and I made that first landing on the planet Mars on 1/21/1976. I used the NASA Voyager landers to the planet Mars as part of the cover for my activities and President Gerald Ford was also very helpful
in keeping my activities secret.
If you have never heard about any of this before then that is expected and the concept to keep in mind is that you do not have enough information yet to believe or to disbelief if what I am communicating to you is something that really happened.
The threat from the comet was no different in many regards than the danger the population of the Earth faced from the possibility of a nuclear war between between the superpowers and it was because people were willing to allow such detente' to continue that I was guaranteed the right to reveal my story about my mission to divert the comet in 1976.
We had to keep all that secret though for decades because I needed time to indoctrinate the public that such a possibility exists of a comet striking the Earth and with catastrophic results. Some examples of the art I created in order to indoctrinate the public into such a possibility are the 1979 films "Meteor" with explores the concept, with "Astronaut Tom Easton," of what could have happened if I had not survived a meteor collision on 2/22/1976 that almost destroyed my Orion ship as I was on the way to the comet for my 7/2/1976 rendezvous with the comet. The Comet Lucifer would have caused caused much greater damage though to the planet Earth than the film suggests. Someone came up with the name Comet Lucifer and while we used that name jokingly at first, it eventually stuck and that became its name. The 1976 film "The Omen" was produced to coincide with my activities in 1976 with the comet as well as the 1976 film "Midway." As for "The Omen," the
actor portraying "Father Brennan" was also cast in a "Robinson Crusoe" style episode of the United Kingdom television series "Warship" that broadcast in early 1977 and that had some bearing on how my Orion ship had been critically damaged on 2/22/1976 and I was not expected to have enough oxygen left in order to return safely to Earth after diverting the comet. I intercepted the comet on 7/2/1976, I made 4 separate flights into the coma to deliver each bomb to the surface at equidistant points and then after I had traveled several million miles away, which was possible due to the energetic Project Orion propulsion system, the ordnance was remotely detonated by me on 7/4/1976. As I had predicted, the comet was not destroyed by the bombs and that was why I did not return to Earth for repairs after the meteor collision on 2/22/1976. Instead of destroying the comet it was split into so much rubble that would have still impacted the Earth if I had waited and
made the strike when it was closer to Earth. The 1979 film "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was created by me with that premise in mind about having the divert the comet as it was near to the planet Earth instead of how I diverted it while it was still beyond the planet Saturn and above the ecliptic plane. The films from 2000 "Mission To Mars" and "Red Planet" also derive from my activities in space in 1976 to divert the comet and there are many other works I created and produced that derive from my activities and that are protected by my copyrights and that are not listed here.
So other films I produced and created to coincide with my mission to divert the comet were the 1975 films "Jaws," the 1996 film "Independence Day," the 1998 films "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact." The 1976 film "Rocky" was also inspired by my activities to divert the comet and because I was heavily involved in the Apollo missions to the Earth's moon and it was those flights, as well as the Gemini 12 flight before Apollo, that NASA trained me as an astronaut.
My mission was a complete success and I returned to Earth on 4/14/1977 after successfully diverting the comet. From there, I decided to remain in the U.S. military and I was accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1982 and my U.S. Naval Reserve officer's commission was converted to a regular U.S. Navy officer's commission. I went back through U.S. Navy BUD/S training also so that I would have a record of training that was not as critically classified as my pre-1978 military record.

STS-1
The first Space Shuttle mission, STS (Space Transportation System)-1, was launched April 12, 1981, and returned April 14. Space Shuttle Columbia orbited the earth 36 times in this 54.5-hour mission.
Not only was this the first launch of the Space Shuttle, but it marked the first time that solid fuel rockets were used for a U.S. manned launch. It was also the first U.S. manned space vehicle launched without an unmanned powered test flight.
During reentry, a protruding tile gap filler ducted hot gas into the right main landing gear well, which caused significant damage including buckling of the landing gear door.

The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk is a stealth ground attack aircraft flown solely by the United States Air Force. As a product of the Lockheed Have Blue stealth prototype program, it became the first operational aircraft initially designed around stealth technology.
As it prioritized stealth over aerodynamics, the first model was nicknamed "The Hopeless Diamond". Similarly, it earned the nickname "Wobbly-Goblin" due to its alleged instability at low speeds; according to F-117 pilots, the nickname is undeserved. "Wobbly (or wobblin') Goblin" is very likely a holdover from the early Have Blue / Senior Trend (FSD) days of the project when instability was a problem.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnormal_psychology
Abnormal psychology
Abnormal psychology is the scientific study of abnormal behavior in order to describe, predict, explain, and change abnormal patterns of functioning. Abnormal psychology in clinical psychology studies the nature of psychopathology, its causes, and its treatments. Of course, the definition of what constitutes 'abnormal' has varied across time and across cultures. Individuals also vary in what they regard as normal or abnormal behavior. In general, abnormal psychology can be described as an area of psychology that studies people who are consistently unable to adapt and function effectively in a variety of conditions. The four main contributing factors to how well an individual is able to adapt include their genetic makeup, physical condition, learning and reasoning, and socialization.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychologist
A psychologist is an expert in psychology, the systematic investigation of the human body, including behavior, cognition, and affect.
Contrast with psychiatrist
In most western countries, including the U.S., licensed/registered psychologists hold a doctorate in their field, while licensed psychiatrists hold a medical degree with a specialty in psychiatry. Psychiatrists are physicians who have earned an MBBS/M.D. or a D.O. professional degree, whereas psychologists have earned a doctoral degree Ph.D., Psy.D., or Ed.D. Psychiatrists generally spend shorter periods of contact time with clients/patients, and the principal method of treatment is psychopharmacology. [1] Conversely, clinical and counseling psychologists generally rely upon psychological assessment and the use of psychotherapy to relieve psychological distress. It is not uncommon for people suffering from mental illness to combine these services to maximize their impact. Medical psychologists in the U.S. military and two states (New Mexico and Louisiana) have prescription privileges, combining psychosocial and psychopharmacological interventions. Many
psychologists conduct research-based, standardized cognitive and projective testing to guide the diagnosis of intellectual disabilities, behavioral/mood disorders, and personality disorders; these test results also inform treatment approaches. Administration and interpretation of the majority of these standardized test instruments require specialized Doctoral level training in psychology
My wife and I were married with her mother's permission on 7/21/1979 in Vermont which is the Green Mountain State. Since my wife was still in high school at the time we married that turned out to also be a compelling reason, I found out a few years later, for the George Bush crime syndicate to stalk me because they were desperate for any kind of leverage they could find in order to evade their prosecution for their criminal activity against the United States federal government. I learned about that as a result of my participation with Israeli military in accordance with my authorized duties with the United States military and my role with the Central Intelligence Agency.
The nature of my activities remain classified but I am the only person currently authorized to speak openly about this matter while other members of my team are providing certain logistical support to me. The reason for the secrecy that remains is because of the stolen nuclear weapons that I suspect.
So the reason behind the revenge from George Bush is because George W. Bush was gang-raped by a group of men back in the 1970's and for some sociopath reason on his part he blames me for that act of violence against George W. Bush. Bill Gates is also the victim of sex crimes and wants revenge on me for some convoluted reason.
So as I was being trained by NASA in the 1960's and 1970's for my mission to comet in 1976, which I personally financed at no expense to taxpayers, George H.W. Bush was selling details to communist governments about my activities and whereabouts, because I was also being trained by the CIA and the U.S. Navy, and I had taken on my personal initiative to fight with the United States in the Vietnam War. Because I was studying for a Medical Doctor degree at the time at Princeton University, I was a medic for U.S. and allied troops serving in combat during the war. The U.S. Navy SEAL's were also training me because I needed experience with explosives and demolition for my mission to the comet and because my Project Orion spaceship was powered with a nuclear pulse propulsion and because the ordnance I was using on the comet was four B41 thermonuclear bombs with a maximum yield each of 25 megatons. The taxpayers funded the nuclear ordnance I used because the
government-issued ordnance was needed to divert the comet and I think anyone
would agree the taxpayer got their money's worth. I note that detail because I have laid claim to the territory of the planets I was the first to land on, such as the planet Mars and the Saturn moon Phoebe, and domestic terrorists such as George Bush and Bill Gates are actively trying to steal my claim to that territory so they can claim fraudulently the commercial rights to that territory. My claims are well documented and are unassailable in legal terms.
I don't know why George W. Bush was attacked back in the 1970's but I guess someone just liked the way he looked in a cheerleader outfit. George Bush was arrested for DUI, according to information I found on the internet, and that arrest date is recognizable to me in terms of art I use to identify my work. I have noticed that same pattern with a mugshot photo of Bill Gates in 1977 and then of an arrest of George Bush's daughter Jenna Bush in 2001. So looking back at others details about George W. Bush I found on the internet, I see those same patterns associated with his activities in the Texas Air National Guard and that pattern is associated with my own activities as a U.S. Navy
aviator and with NASA in the 1960's and 1970's. Even the controversy about how George W. Bush, as the son of a Texas congressman, could have been assigned to the Texas Air National Guard instead of being sent to Vietnam is logical to me because of the acronym TANG. As a result of that sexual attack on George W. Bush, he was going to have to explain to an independant medical examiner how he contracted a sexually transmitted disease and he would have to explain how he could not have contracted that sexually transmitted disease unless as a result of homosexual activity on his part. So he just avoided the medical examination and then his flight status with the TANG with revoked. He should have been sent directly to serve with the U.S. military in Vietnam but his father had a lot of connections that he used to help George W. Bush shirk his military obligations. The George Bush syndicate of racketeers and national traitors joined up with Bill Gates who,
interestingly, was born a female. She was being raped by Bill Gates, Sr., her father, or step-father, when Bill Gates Jr., was a child, so she started cross-dressing as a male. There is also an element of revenge in that Bill Gates was failed from college opportunities and somehow convoluted that failure into a scheme of revenge against me.
The issue is further complicated because my biological mother's father is Ronald Wilson Reagan and he is therefore my maternal grandfather. I chose the name Thomas Allyn Ray as a derivative of the name Reagan, as a means of provoking those that knew what they should not know. I always intended to assume my real name after I could finally unload my secret identity, of which the process continues. As with Ronald Reagan, I also work with the film industry and also serve in the U.S. military. Ronald Reagan was the governor of California and president of the Screen Actors Guild before that and he was elected United States President in 1981 and I was in my 3rd year at the United States Naval Academy. I was serving as a midshipman but that was only one of my secret identities and I held a higher rank in another secret identity which was legal and fully authorized and I exercised the authority of that higher rank during the time I was also serving as a U.S.
Naval Academy midshipman with the Class of 1982.

I was the lead helicopter pilot for the failed Operation Eagle Claw operation in 1980 but I had no operational control over that mission. In 1981 I was assigned the task of training the Israeli Air Force pilots as part of the package with the F-16 Falcon fighter jets and because I was the primary test pilot in the 1970's for the F-16 Falcon figher jet, that would bomb the Osirak nuclear reactor that was under construction. I also flew with the Israeli Air Force and I was the wingman of the lead pilot and I personally dropped two 2000 lb Mk 84 bombs on that reactor that day of 6/7/1981 and I successfully destroyed the section of the reactor where the plutonium rods were cooled.
My involvement with that mission with the Israeli Air Force, which had been fully authorized by legitimate civilian authority of the United States federal government, was compelling to George H.W. Bush because he thought that would be leverage to use against me in the future when he goes on trial for his treason against the United States federal government and that trial against him for his criminal activity against the United States federal government is proceeding.
The details that follow illustrate the pattern I create in my art and that represent the concept of symmetry or pairs. One reason for that approach is because of my secret identity. I have biological relative who is about 6 years younger than I am but our resemblance is remarkable and he volunteered to help me protect my secret identity and it is his identity I assumed and I assumed his identity after a medical process that suppressed my true memory for a while until I began to understand that I was working undercover on a dangerous assignment.
At a time when Microsoft had several people working around me that I thought looked familiar, such as Microsoft employee Tom Devey and his remarkable resemblance to Israeli Air Force Colonel Ilan Ramon Microsoft arranged - before the 9/11/2001 attacks - to have me flying on a civilian airliner across the United States in the days after the 9/11/2001 attacks. As with the Boeing announcement in the days before the 9/11/2001 attacks that they were moving to Riverside, I was flying across the country on civilian airliner days after the attacks to meet another company that is located on Riverside in Ottawa, Canada.

American Airlines Flight 77 was a morning flight that routinely flew from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), near Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). On September 11, 2001, Flight 77 was hijacked between 08:51 EDT and 08:54 EDT, as part of the September 11, 2001 attacks.[2] On that day, the American Airlines Boeing 757-223, registered N644AA, was piloted by Captain Charles Burlingame and First Officer Dave Charlebois. Just over an hour and fifteen minutes into the flight, it was deliberately crashed into the Pentagon, killing 64 on the plane and 125 in the buildings. It was the third airliner to crash that morning, 50 minutes after the first, and 30 minutes after the second.

Sarah Connor: Reese. Why me? Why's it want me?
Kyle Reese: There was a nuclear war. A few years from now, all this, this whole place, everything, it's gone. Just gone. There were survivors. Here, there. Nobody even knew who started it. It was the machine, Sarah.
Sarah Connor: I don't understand.
Reese: Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.
Sarah Connor: Did you see this war?
Kyle Reese: No. I grew up after. In the ruins... starving... hiding from H-K's.
Sarah Connor: H-K's?
Kyle Reese: Hunter-Killers: patrol machines built in automated factories. Most of us were rounded up, put in camps for orderly disposal.
[Pulls up his right sleeve, exposing a mark]
Kyle Reese: This is burned in by laser scan. Some of us were kept alive... to work... loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the camps, to smash those metal motherfuckers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name is Connor. John Connor. Your son, Sarah, your unborn son.

[first lines]
Sarah Connor: [narrating] 3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was programmed to strike at me in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was still a child. As before, the resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.

PINK FLOYD LYRICS
"Welcome To The Machine"
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.

Iraqi Nuclear Site Is Found Looted
U.S. Team Unable to Determine Whether Deadly Materials Are Missing
By Barton Gellman
Washington Post Staff Writer
NEAR KUT, Iraq, May 3 -- A specially trained Defense Department team, dispatched after a month of official indecision to survey a major Iraqi radioactive waste repository, today found the site heavily looted and said it was impossible to tell whether nuclear materials were missing.
The discovery at the Baghdad Nuclear Research Facility was the second since the end of the war in which a known nuclear cache was plundered extensively enough that authorities could not rule out the possibility that deadly materials had been stolen. The survey, conducted by a U.S. Special Forces detachment and eight nuclear experts from a Pentagon office called the Direct Support Team, appeared to offer fresh evidence that the war has dispersed the country's most dangerous technologies beyond anyone's knowledge or control.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuwaitha
Baghdad Nuclear Research Facility
The Baghdad Nuclear Research Facility adjacent to the Tuwaitha "Yellow Cake Factory" contains the remains of nuclear reactors bombed by Israel in 1981 and the United States in 1991. It was used as a storage facility for spent reactor fuel and industrial and medical wastes. The radioactive material would not be useful for a fission bomb, but could be used in a dirty bomb. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the facility was heavily looted by hundreds of Iraqis, though it is unclear what was taken.
The facility is surrounded by a sand berm four miles (6.4 km) around and 160 feet (50 m) high, and contained the French-built research reactor Osiraq, destroyed by Israel in 1981 before it went online.
On May 3, 2003, a detachment of U.S. Special Forces led by United States Navy Commander David Beckett and eight nuclear experts from the United States Department of Defense's Direct Support Team conducted a survey of the facility, finding the looting, similar to the situation in the nearby Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center.

Radioactive materials left unguarded
By Bob Drogin
Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON — Three Iraqi warehouses filled with 2,500 barrels of uranium that could be enriched for nuclear weapons — plus 150 radioactive isotopes that could be used for deadly "dirty bombs" — lay unguarded for several days this week as Iraqi mobs swirled around.
The facility, known as Location C, was Iraq's only internationally sanctioned storage site for nuclear material. It thus was a potential prize for U.S. forces — or for anyone seeking to steal radioactive material for sale to other countries or to terrorists.
Iraqi Republican Guard troops abandoned the site late last week as U.S. armored columns approached the nearby Tuwaitha nuclear-research center south of Baghdad. Hordes of looters soon cut Tuwaitha's electric fences and began ransacking homes and offices, hauling off TVs and carpets in stolen luxury cars.

Nuclear facilities in Iraq looted
By Barton Gellman
The Washington Post
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Seven nuclear facilities in Iraq have been damaged or destroyed by looting that began in April when U.S. ground forces thrust into Baghdad, according to U.S. investigators and others with detailed knowledge of their work. The Bush administration fears that technical documents, sensitive equipment and possibly radiation sources have been scattered.
If so, there are potentially significant consequences for public health and the spread of materials to build a nuclear or radiological bomb. President Bush had said the war was fought to prevent the spread of "the world's most dangerous weapons."
It is still not clear what has been lost in the sacking of Iraq's nuclear establishment. But it is well-documented that looters roamed unrestrained among isotope stores and scientific files that could speed development of a nuclear or radiological bomb. Many of the files, and some of the containers that held radioactive sources, are missing.

Shape Of Things To Come At Seattle Center -- Design Unveiled For Music Museum
Richard Seven
Seattle Times Staff Reporter
And now for something completely different.
Paul Allen wants his Experience Music Project museum to push boundaries, to provoke people to think outside the lines, to embrace the creative process.
So EMP's final design, released today as part of its groundbreaking celebration, figures to be appropriately controversial. A landmark to some, an eyesore to others.

Electromagnetic pulse
A terrorist EMP attack might profoundly affect any major city; however, because of the high cost of real estate and traffic issues, many major businesses have relocated valuable assets outside of major urban areas, and have taken other measures to protect themselves. Therefore, the long-term economic and technological impact of such an event might not be as grave as previously imagined, depending on the nature of the original attack.[citation needed]
A common scenario is detonation of a device over the middle of the U.S. using long-range missiles available only to major military powers. An offshore detonation at high altitude, by contrast, would present less technical difficulty and would disrupt both an entire coast and regions hundreds of miles inland (e.g. 120 mile altitude, 1000 mile EMP radius). Moreover, a high altitude burst could be positioned over international waters by means of a missile of low accuracy, launched from a ship, also in international waters. North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan (for example) have Scud-derived missiles of more than adequate capability.

Steven Anthony Ballmer (born March 24, 1956 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American businessman and has been the chief executive officer of Microsoft Corporation since January 2000.
After graduating from Harvard with degrees in mathematics and economics, Ballmer worked for two years at Procter & Gamble as an assistant product manager before enrolling in Stanford Graduate School of Business to get a Master of Business Administration degree. He dropped out of Stanford a year later when Bill Gates persuaded him to work at Microsoft. Ballmer became Microsoft's 24th employee on June 11, 1980, the first business manager hired by Gates.
Ballmer has headed several divisions within Microsoft, including Operating Systems Development, Operations, and Sales and Support. In July 1998, he was promoted to president, and on January 13, 2000, he was named chief executive officer when Gates stepped down from that position.

IBM Personal Computer
The IBM Personal Computer, commonly known as the IBM PC, is the original version and progenitor of the IBM PC compatible hardware platform. It is IBM model number 5150, and was introduced on August 12, 1981. It was created by a team of engineers and designers under the direction of Don Estridge of the IBM Entry Systems Division in Boca Raton, Florida.
At the time, Don Estridge and his team considered using the IBM 801 processor and its operating system that had been developed at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York (The 801 is an early RISC microprocessor designed by John Cocke and his team at Yorktown Heights.) The 801 was at least an order of magnitude more powerful than the Intel 8088, and the operating system many years more advanced than the DOS operating system from Microsoft, that was finally selected.
The original PC had a version of Microsoft BASIC —IBM Cassette BASIC— in ROM.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_accomplished
Mission Accomplished
"Mission Accomplished", a phrase associated with completing a mission, is in recent years particularly associated with a sign displayed on USS Abraham Lincoln during a televised address by United States President George W. Bush on May 1, 2003.
Bush stated at the time that this was the end to major combat operations in Iraq. While this statement did coincide with an end to the conventional phase of the war, Bush's assertion — and the sign itself — became controversial after guerilla warfare in Iraq increased during the Iraqi insurgency. The vast majority of casualties, among both coalition (approximately 96% as of November 2007) and Iraqi combatants, and among Iraqi civilians, have occurred after the speech. Due to this fact, "Mission Accomplished" is now a winged word for uncompleted operations with an unclear ending.

Local News: Thursday, March 20, 2003
Kay McFadden / Times staff columnist
The media got it fast, got it right
It may not have been the "shock-and-awe" show promised by United States forces poised to invade Iraq.
But to anyone watching television, the swiftness with which yesterday's airstrike in Baghdad was executed, disseminated and explained was a heck of a dress rehearsal.
The White House and news organizations worked in well-oiled tandem. The time elapsed from when the bombing run took place to when anchors were correctly summarizing it — barely a half-hour — gave new meaning to the concept of a fast news cycle.
News that air-raid sirens were sounding over Baghdad broke at 6:37 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and 5:37 a.m. in Iraq.
By 6:41 p.m., CNN's senior Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre had determined that it probably was not. Almost simultaneously, the White House said spokesman Ari Fleischer would make a brief statement.
One minute later — that's five minutes after explosions sounded over Baghdad — Fleischer appeared on camera to announce, "The opening stages of the disarmament of the Iraqi regime have begun" and that the president would speak at 10:15 p.m. (7:15 PST).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudologia_fantastica
Pseudologia fantastica
Pseudologia fantastica, or pathological lying, is one of several terms applied by psychiatrists to the behaviour of habitual or compulsive lying. It was first described in the medical literature in 1891. One definition of pathological lying is the following:
Pathological lying is falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime. The defining characteristics of pseudologia fantastica are that, first, the stories are not entirely improbable and often have some element of truth. They
aren't a manifestation of delusion or some more wider form of psychosis:
upon confrontation, the person can acknowledge them to be untrue, even if unwillingly. Second, the fabricative tendency is long lasting; it is not provoked by the immediate situation or social pressure as much as it originates with the person's innate urge to act in accordance. Third, a definitely internal, not an external, motive for the behavior can be clinically discerned. E.g. long lasting extortion or habitual spousal battery might cause a person to
lie repeatedly, without the lying being a pathological symptom.

New Kids on the Blecch
"New Kids on the Blecch" is the fourteenth episode from the twelfth season of The Simpsons. It features the members of the pop music group 'N Sync. It aired on February 25, 2001 on FOX.
By paralleling Rosie Ruiz's cheating in the 1980 Boston Marathon, Bart cheats in Springfield's equivalent. When Bart's dishonesty is quickly discovered, he finds himself in hot water with fellow competitors and spectators, so he accepts a stranger's offer to help him escape. The stranger introduces himself as L.T. Smash. Smash offers Bart a career as a member of a boy band known as "The Party Posse". Bart accepts, and becomes Party Posse's 4th member, joining Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum and Milhouse Van Houten. The Party Posse quickly ascend to stardom, albeit using complex voice enhancers built by NASA. No one is aware of the voice enhancer's use, and as such Party Posse's success depends on it.
The band releases a single titled "Drop Da Bomb", which contains the suspicious lyric, "Yvan eht Nioj". Lisa's growing suspicion around The Party Posse eventually results in her discovering the line is a Subliminal recruiting message to join the Navy, as '"Yvan eht Nioj" is "Join the Navy" written backwards. Lisa also discovers that L.T. Smash is, in reality, Lieutenant L.T. Smash ("LT" being the abbreviation for the Navy rank of Lieutenant). He says he is working to recruit people for the Navy.
Lisa points out her discoveries to Homer and Marge, but they dismiss her accusations as jealousy to Bart. The events come to a head when The Party Posse perform at a concert on an aircraft carrier, which only increases Lisa's suspicion towards the band. During the first song (which also contains subliminal messages), Smash learns from his superior officer that Mad Magazine's next issue will lampoon The Party Posse, calling them 'The Potty Posse', and thus the band will no longer have any recruiting power. Smash's superior officer terminates "Project Boy Band" by shutting off the band's voice enhancer, exposing the group's mediocre singing voices. Smash becomes increasingly aggravated about his superior officer's actions, and threatens to send the carrier out to sea. When Smash completes his threat, a terrified audience leaves the carrier. Smash sends the ship to New York City in an attempt to destroy the Mad Headquarters. Despite 'N Sync's attempt to
stop Smash, he destroys the Mad Headquarters with the ship's missiles, but Smash's actions appear to only reinvigorate the Mad workers. After Smash's criminal actions, he is arrested and the potential of the fraudulent Party Posse remains unfulfilled.

The Parent Rap
Original Airdate on FOX: 11-Nov-01
It begins with Bart and Milhouse accidentally stealing a police car. Expecting an easy judge, Bart is instead faced with Judge Constance Harm (Kaczmarek), a stern, no-nonsense arbiter. Noting Homer's contribution to the incident and sensing that Bart is "crying out for adult supervision." Her Honor orders the young troublemaker to be tethered to his father. The plan can't help but bring the pair closer to each other, but their new ling interferes with the relationship between Homer and Marge, who literally cuts the cord, landing her in Harm's way as well.
Did You Notice...
Lisa knows the court officer on a first name basis?
Homer does still have a job?

Bart: Your Honor, it's not easy being my parents. I'm always screwing up in school, and getting in trouble with the law. But if I grow up to be a halfway decent person, I know it will be because of my Mom and Dad. Everyone else might give up on me, but my parents never will.

DURAN DURAN LYRICS
"New Moon On Monday"
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna
[CHORUS]
I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
Breaking away with the best of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time La Luna
[CHORUS]
Monday, December 23, 1968, Honolulu-time: first time humans enter orbit of Earth's moon
Monday, December 11, 1972: the spaceflight Apollo 17 makes a new landing on the Earth's moon and was the last lunar landing of the Apollo series

Apollo 8
21 December 1968 07:51 GMT. Landing Date: 1968-12-27 10:51:42 PM. Flight Time: 6.13 days.
Following the second video presentation, the crew neared a new stage in manned space flight - travel to a place where the pull of earth's gravity was less than that of another body. At 3:29 in the afternoon on Monday, 23 December, that historic crossing was made. At that point, the spacecraft was 326,400 kilometers from the earth and 62,600 from the moon, and its velocity had slowed to 1,218 meters per second. Gradually, as the ship moved farther into the moon's gravitational field, it picked up speed.

"New Moon On Monday"
Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna

Chechaquo
http://www.online-literature.com/short.php/101
But all this--the mysterious, far-reaching hairline trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all--made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a new-comer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe. Fifty degrees below zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be
guarded against by the use of mittens, ear-flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks. Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero. That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head.

DURAN DURAN LYRICS
"Rio"
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

The original set of sensors also comprised an infrared sensor under the nose: it was AN/ALR-23 with indium antimony detectors, cooled by a self-contained Stirling-cycle cryogenic system, but this proved ineffective, and was replaced with a new system. This was an optical system, Northrop AAX-1, also called TCS (TV Camera Set) and is used to help pilots visually identify aircraft, at least on day missions,[6] up to a range of more than 60 miles for large aircraft. The zoom function also helps with small fighters and there is even an auto-tracker to ease the task. Both the crew have access to the images on their displays.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_control_systems
Aircraft flight control systems
Aircraft flight control systems consist of flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and the necessary operating mechanisms to control an aircraft's direction in flight.
Primary controls
Generally the primary cockpit controls are arranged as follows:
A control column or a control yoke attached to a column — for roll and pitch, which moves the ailerons when turned or deflected left and right, and moves the elevators when moved backwards or forwards
Rudder pedals to control yaw, which move the rudder; left foot forward will move the rudder left for instance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobatic_maneuver
Aerobatic maneuver
Aerobatic maneuvers are flight paths putting aircraft in unusual attitudes, in air shows, dog fights or competition aerobatics.
Snap Roll; Flick roll; Flick
A family of rapid autorotational or "horizontal spins," not unlike spins. Rotation is induced by a rapid pitch input followed by rapid yaw input, thus stalling one wing further than the other. This imbalance in lift causes the high speed roll.

Doug Masters: I don't know how you can stay so calm.
Elizabeth Masters: That's because I've been through it before.
You don't remember. You were only four years old but that time your had to bail out over the Pacific.
The whole time he was missing, I didn't even know if he was alive.
Doug Masters: I got to call Katie and tell her I'm not going tonight.
And you better call the Winslows and tell them not to drive all the way down for graduation.
Elizabeth Masters: Doug, that is not going to help him.
He's stuck over there, but all he's thinking about is us.
He's thinking about you and Katie getting all dressed up tonight.
That's all he's got right now. And somehow if you don't go it takes it all away from him.

EAGLES LYRICS
"Hotel California"
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/escape%20velocity
escape velocity
the minimum speed that an object at a given distance from a gravitating body must have so that it will continue to move away from the body instead of orbiting about it.
The velocity needed for a celestial body to overcome the gravitational pull of another, larger body and not fall back to that body's surface. Escape velocity is determined by the mass of the larger body and by the distance of the smaller body from the larger one's center. Depending on its initial trajectory, a smaller body traveling at the escape velocity will either enter a periodic orbit around the larger body or recede from the surface of the larger body indefinitely.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseids
Perseids
The Perseids is a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. Meteor showers occur when Earth moves through a meteor stream. The stream in this case is called the Perseid cloud and it stretches along the orbit of the Comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it passed by the Sun. Most of the dust in the cloud today is approximately a thousand years old. However, there is also a relatively young filament of dust in the stream that boiled off the comet in 1862. The rate of meteors originating from this filament is much higher than for the older part of the stream.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_shower
Meteor shower
Irish astronomer George Johnstone Stoney (1826-1911), collaborating with British astronomer Arthur Matthew Weld Downing (1850-1917), and independently Adolf Berberich of the Königliches Astronomisches Rechen Institut (Royal Astronomical Computation Institute) in Berlin, Germany, had apparently first offered in the 1890s the idea of a meteoroid stream or trail, when they calculated how meteroids, once freed from the comet and traveling at low speeds relative to the comet, would drift mostly in front of or behind the comet after completing one orbit. The effect is simple orbital mechanics - the material drifts only a little laterally away from the comet while drifting ahead or behind the comet because some particles make a wider orbit than others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet
Comet
Comets are small Solar System bodies that orbit the Sun and, when close enough to the Sun, exhibit a visible coma (atmosphere) or a tail — both primarily from the effects of solar radiation upon the comet's nucleus. Comet nuclei are themselves loose collections of ice, dust and small rocky particles, measuring a few kilometres or tens of kilometres across.
In the outer solar system, comets remain frozen and are extremely difficult or impossible to detect from Earth due to their small size (though some observations of comet nuclei in the Kuiper Belt have been made). As a comet approaches the inner solar system, solar radiation causes the water, frozen gases and other volatile materials within the comet to vaporize and stream out of the nucleus, carrying dust away with them. The streams of dust and gas thus released form a huge, extremely tenuous atmosphere around the comet called the coma, and the force exerted on the coma by the Sun's radiation pressure and solar wind cause an enormous tail to form, which points away from the sun.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Remarks of the Honorable Ronald Reagan
At the 31st Republican National Convention
August 19, 1976
This speech was delivered impromptu at the Republican National Convention at the urging of President Gerald Ford.
798 words
Thank you very much. Mr. President, Mrs. Ford, Mr. Vice President, Mr. Vice President to be--(Applause and laughter)--the distinguished guests here, and you ladies and gentlemen: I am going to say fellow Republicans here, but also those who are watching from a distance, all of those millions of Democrats and Independents who I know are looking for a cause around which to rally and which I believe we can give them. (Applause)
Mr. President, before you arrived tonight, these wonderful people here when we came in gave Nancy and myself a welcome. That, plus this, and plus your kindness and generosity in honoring us by bringing us down here will give us a memory that will live in our hearts forever. (Applause)
Watching on television these last few nights, and I have seen you also with the warmth that you greeted Nancy, and you also filled my heart with joy when you did that. (Applause)
May I just say some words. There are cynics who say that a party platform is something that no one bothers to read and it doesn't very often amount to much.
Whether it is different this time than it has ever been before, I believe the Republican Party has a platform that is a banner of bold, unmistakable colors, with no pastel shades. (Applause)
We have just heard a call to arms based on that platform, and a call to us to really be successful in communicating and reveal to the American people the difference between this platform and the platform of the opposing party, which is nothing but a revamp and a reissue and a running of a late, late show of the thing that we have been hearing from them for the last 40 years. (Applause)
If I could just take a moment; I had an assignment the other day. Someone asked me to write a letter for a time capsule that is going to be opened in Los Angeles a hundred years from now, on our Tricentennial.
It sounded like an easy assignment. They suggested I write something about the problems and the issues today. I set out to do so, riding down the coast in an automobile, looking at the blue Pacific out on one side and the Santa Ynez Mountains on the other, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be that beautiful a hundred years from now as it was on that summer day.
Then as I tried to write--let your own minds turn to that task. You are going to write for people a hundred years from now, who know all about us. We know nothing about them. We don't know what kind of a world they will be living in.
And suddenly I thought to myself if I write of the problems, they will be the domestic problems the President spoke of here tonight; the challenges confronting us, the erosion of freedom that has taken place under Democratic rule in this country, the invasion of private rights, the controls and restrictions on the vitality of the great free economy that we enjoy. These are our challenges that we must meet.
And then again there is that challenge of which he spoke that we live in a world in which the great powers have poised and aimed at each other horrible missiles of destruction, nuclear weapons that can in a matter of minutes arrive at each other's country and destroy, virtually, the civilized world we live in.
And suddenly it dawned on me, those who would read this letter a hundred years from now will know whether those missiles were fired. They will know whether we met our challenge. Whether they have the freedoms that we have known up until now will depend on what we do here.
Will they look back with appreciation and say, "Thank God for those people in 1976 who headed off that loss of freedom, who kept us now 100 years later free, who kept our world from nuclear destruction"?
And if we failed, they probably won't get to read the letter at all because it spoke of individual freedom, and they won't be allowed to talk of that or read of it.
This is our challenge; and this is why here in this hall tonight, better than we have ever done before, we have got to quit talking to each other and about each other and go out and communicate to the world that we may be fewer in numbers than we have ever been, but we carry the message they are waiting for.
We must go forth from here united, determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true: There is no substitute for victory, Mr. President. (Applause)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_of_the_Armies
General of the Armies
General of the Armies (or in its full title General of the Armies of the United States) is the highest possible rank in the United States Army. For the next rank down, see General of the Army.
After World War II, which saw the introduction of U.S. "5-star" officers who outranked Washington, both Congress and the President revisited the issue of Washington's rank. To maintain George Washington's proper position as the first Commanding General of the United States Army, he was appointed, posthumously, to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 January 19, 1976, approved by President Gerald R. Ford on October 11, 1976. The law established the grade as having "rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present", clearly making it superior to General of the Army. The Department of the Army Order 31-3, issued on March 13, 1978 had an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976. The rank ensures that no United States military officer outranks George Washington.

Fleet Admiral (United States)
Fleet Admiral of the United States Navy, is a five-star flag officer considered to be the equivalent of a General of the Army and General of the Air Force.
All five star officers are, technically, unable to retire from active duty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkler_test_for_dissolved_oxygen
Winkler test for dissolved oxygen
The Winkler test is used to determine the level of dissolved oxygen in water samples. This metric is then used to estimate the biological activity in the water sample. An excess of Manganese(II) salt, iodide (I-) and hydroxide (OH-) ions are added to a water sample causing a white precipitate of Mn(OH)2 to form. This precipitate is then oxidized by the dissolved oxygen in the water sample into a brown Manganese precipitate. In the next step, a strong acid (either hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid) is added to acidify the solution. The brown precipitate then convert the iodide ion (I-) to Iodine. The amount of dissolved oxygen is directly proportional to the titration of Iodine with a thiosulphate solution.

Marketing Idea No. 156 - Haley’s comet and the “Once in a lifetime” factor March 22, 2008
Posted by shahriar amin in Idea 151 - 160.
Tags: Buzz marketing, Marketing power of exclusivility
You can be the next big thing from Apple or Google, but can you beat the excitement or hoopla that comes from seeing the Haley’s comet or a blue moon?
Not a chance.
Haley’s comet is the authentic once in a lifetime chance of seeing something that you can never ever see again in YOUR LIFETIME, no matter how much money you want to spend. Watching a blue moon or a solar eclipse or a meteor shower or a close shave with a meteorite is a cultural phenomenon of astronomical proportion (Pun intended) which creates a lot of interest among mass as well as media. Can your brand replicate that?
Again, not by a long distance.
So the thing to learn from this is that there is a great deal of power in scarcity, about “once in a lifetime” things. As our entire brand marketing game is based on abundance and accesibility, some great brand marketing phenomenon can be created simply through the power of scarcity. Thats why the greatest TV commercial of all time, the Mackintosh 1984 ad, was shown only once in 1984 SuperBowl….never again.
Now how can we relive the magic of scarcity?
What if we can create an exclusive line of clothes, chewing gum, laptops…..anything, and promote it as if its an REALLY exclusive item (meaning : once its replenished, it will never be reproduced again), then wouldnt it create a massive buzz and pull? It must. If we knew that no matter how we love it and pay for it, this new line of stuff will never ever be made available again, wouldnt we stand in line and bark for our exclusive peace? Wouldnt we convey the message to our loved ones that get that stuff before it gets finished? It simply must.
Now through that we turn the entire game on its wheel. The brand brings this new line, makes it available to people, draw up a high margin because he is selling exclusive stuff, create this huge mind share and then use that mind share in future to earn more business.
But no matter what, he should never reproduce that EXCLUSIVE product line, because that just kills the magic. What the brand probably should do, is invest in the next big EXCLUSIVE thing.
