Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert S Mcnamara

Bienvenidos una vez mas al canal de audio de buscadores de la verdad que llevamos a cabo a través de los Spaces de Twitter. Esta vez queremos hablar sobre geoingenieria, armamento no convencional, inmigración de reemplazo y otros problemas a través de un informe solicitado en 1995 y expuesto en 1999 en la eurocámara. Gracias a dicho informe conoceremos hasta donde llega la hipocresía de nuestros gobernantes. Este informe fue impulsado desde la ONU a través de la política y diplomática socialdemócrata sueca Karin Maj Britt Margareta Theorin que lo expuso en 1995 y que termino tomando forma de informe en 1999 cuando la Comisión de Asuntos Exteriores, Seguridad y Política de Defensa le encargo al Sr. Olsson de la Comisión de Medio Ambiente, Salud Pública y Protección del Consumidor que crease dicho informe. Veamos el considerando E de la propuesta de resolución: “Observando que las amenazas sobre el medio ambiente, los flujos de refugiados, los antagonismos étnicos, el terrorismo y la delincuencia internacional constituyen nuevas y graves amenazas para la seguridad y que, al cambiar la situación de seguridad, cobra cada vez mayor importancia la capacidad de enfrentarse a distintas formas de conflictos y, dado que las amenazas para la seguridad son también de carácter no militar, es importante que los recursos de carácter militar se utilicen también para fines no militares;” Analicemos brevemente alguna de las frases: "Observando... [que] los flujos de refugiados, los antagonismos étnicos...constituyen nuevas y graves amenazas para la seguridad..." O sea que desde 1999 saben que importar refugiados, lo que ahora llaman migrantes, ocasionará una amenaza para la seguridad interna de la UE y que además exista un problema para asimilar su cultura. Solo los animales migran, las personas emigran, pero desde hace unos años las personas son tratadas como animales y todos hemos aceptado ese cambio en el lenguaje. Podrán descargar de la pagina oficial de la UE este informe a través de los enlaces que dejare en la descripción de este podcast y también podrán descargar en los enlaces un estudio de 177 páginas de la ONU que reconoce el reemplazo demográfico en Occidente. Lo saben...pero seguimos igual o peor que en 1999. Solo la UE absorbe este tipo de inmigración, cosa que no hacen otros países islámicos como Arabia Saudí ni hay ninguna presión para que se haga por parte de estos paises donde no tendrían ese problema para asimilar la cultura de los refugiados. Sigamos. Veamos el considerando K: “Considerando que, según resultados detallados de la investigación internacional filtrados y publicados por el Climate Institute de Washington, el número de "refugiados medioambientales" es actualmente superior al número de "refugiados tradicionales" (25 millones frente a 22 millones) y que se prevé que esta cifra se duplique para el año 2010 o que, en el peor de los casos, sea mucho mayor,” Ya no hacen falta guerras, con el cuento climático es suficiente para hacer migrar, como animales, a las personas pobres. Todo gira en torno a la guerra como pudimos comprender al leer el EL INFORME DE IRON MOUNTAIN que tiene como subtitulo “Sobre la Posibilidad y Conveniencia de la Paz”. Gracias a Gus y Katy yo conocí la existencia de dicho informe originalmente publicado en 1966 supuestamente por el Hudson Institute a petición del entonces Secretario de Defensa, Robert S. McNamara durante el mandato de Kennedy. En su apartado de sustitutos de las funciones no-militares de la guerra podemos leer: 1. Económico. (a) Un programa integral de acción social, dirigido hacia la máxima mejora de las condiciones generales de la vida humana. (b) Un programa de investigación espacial gigantesco y sin meta concreta orientado hacia objetivos no realizables. (c) Un sistema de inspección de desarme permanente, ritualizado y ultra-elaborado y variantes de semejante sistema. 2. Político. (a) Una fuerza policial internacional omnipresente y virtualmente omnipotente, (b) una amenaza extraterrestre establecida y reconocida. (c) una contaminación ambiental masiva y global. (d) enemigos ficticios alternativos. 3. Sociológico: función de control. (a) programas generalmente derivados del modelo del Peace Corps. (b) una forma moderna y sofisticada de la esclavitud. Función motivacional. (a) contaminación ambiental intensificada. (b) nuevas religiones u otras mitologías. (c) juegos de sangre socialmente orientados. (d) una combinación de estas formas. 4. Ecológico. Un programa integral de eugenesia aplicada. 5. Cultural. No se propone ninguna institución sustitutiva. 6. Científica. Los requerimientos secundarios de programas de la investigación espacial, la asistencia social y/o la eugénica. Muy posiblemente ya se estén llevando a cabo varias de las sugerencias que aparecen en dicho informe, muy posiblemente las rayas en el cielo que mas y mas personas están viendo sean parte de esa estrategia de generar una “contaminación ambiental intensificada”. En el propio informe se dice lo siguiente: “No obstante ello, un sustituto político efectivo de la guerra requeriría "enemigos alternativos" algunos de los cuales podrían parecer rebuscados dentro del contexto del actual sistema de guerra. Podría ocurrir, por ejemplo, que la fuerte contaminación del medio ambiente pudiera eventualmente reemplazar la posibilidad de destrucción masiva por armas nucleares como amenaza principal y más evidente para la supervivencia de nuestra especie. El envenenamiento del aire y de las principales fuentes de alimentos y de agua ya se encuentra bastante adelantado y a primera vista podría representar una solución a este problema; constituye una amenaza que solo puede abordarse a través de una adecuada organización social y con poder político. Pero se estima que deberá pasar entre una generación y una generación y media antes de que la contaminación ambiental, por más severa que sea, se torne lo suficientemente amenazante a nivel global como para ofrecer una posible base de solución. Es verdad que la tasa de contaminación podría incrementarse en forma selectiva para este propósito; en verdad, la mera modificación de los programas actuales para prevenir la contaminación podrían acelerar este proceso como para que se genere una amenaza creíble mucho antes. Pero el problema de la contaminación se ha visto publicitado tan ampliamente en los últimos años que parece altamente improbable que un programa gubernamental de efectos deliberadamente nocivos para el medio ambiente pudiera ser implementado de manera políticamente aceptable. Por más improbable que el posible enemigo alternativo que hemos mencionado pueda parecer, debemos enfatizar que alguno debe ser hallado, y el mismo debe ser de una calidad y magnitud creíble si una transición hacia la paz ha de llevarse a cabo algún día sin que provoque la desintegración social.” Volvamos a nuestro informe de la Union Europea donde las tres siguientes consideraciones nos hablan de que como la guerra fría ha liberado recursos militares deberíamos emplearlos en los retos medioambientales civiles: “O. Considerando que existe una urgente necesidad de movilizar recursos adecuados para hacer frente a los retos medioambientales y observando que los recursos disponibles para la protección del medio ambiente son muy limitados, lo cual obliga a una nueva forma de pensar en lo que respecta a la utilización de los recursos existentes; P. Observando que, a la vez que se liberan los recursos militares, se ofrece a los militares la oportunidad única de contribuir con su enorme capacidad a los esfuerzos civiles para enfrentarse a los crecientes problemas medioambientales; Q. Constatando que los recursos militares son recursos nacionales y que el desafío medioambiental es global; que, por consiguiente, existe la necesidad de encontrar formas de cooperación internacional para la reasignación y utilización de recursos militares en favor del medio ambiente;” En el R dicen abiertamente: “…existe una creciente necesidad de realizar un análisis de la relación coste/beneficio de las distintas estrategias medioambientales, que debería incluir potenciales reasignaciones, reorientaciones y transferencias de recursos militares;” Al loro con el considerando T porque se carga de un plumazo a todos los gilipollas que nos llaman magufos por afirmar desde siempre que el proyecto HAARP es un arma militar y no un simple proyecto científico para observar las auroras boreales: “Considerando que, pese a los convenios existentes, la investigación en el sector militar sigue basandose en la manipulación medioambiental como arma, tal y como pone, por ejemplo, de manifiesto el sistema HAARP con base en Alaska,” Y es que los militares son muy de callarse las cosas como nos explican en la siguiente consideración, la U: “Considerando que la experiencia adquirida con el desarrollo y la utilización de la energía nuclear "para fines pacíficos" constituye una advertencia contra la invocación del secreto militar para impedir una evaluación y supervisión claras de las tecnologías combinadas civil/militar cuando la transparencia se encuentra, en cualquier caso, comprometida,” La frase dice que, en el pasado, cuando se empezó a usar la energía nuclear "con fines pacíficos" (como para producir electricidad), se aprendió una lección importante: a veces, los gobiernos esconden información diciendo que es un "secreto militar". Eso puede ser peligroso porque impide que otras personas revisen y controlen bien ciertas tecnologías que tienen tanto usos civiles (como la electricidad) como militares (como las bombas nucleares). Por eso, el texto advierte que hay que tener mucho cuidado con la falta de transparencia en estos casos. Tras estas consideraciones este informe hace una serie de peticiones sobre: a) producción agrícola y alimentaria y degradación del medio ambiente; b) escasez de agua y suministro transfronterizo de agua; c) deforestación y restablecimiento de las cuencas carboníferas; d) desempleo, subempleo y pobreza absoluta; e) desarrollo sostenible y cambio climático; f) deforestación, desertización y aumento de la población; g) la relación entre estas cuestiones con el calentamiento del planeta y el impacto humanitario y medioambiental de acontecimientos climáticos cada vez más extremos; Sobre la pobreza leíamos en el informe Iron Mountain lo siguiente: “La naturaleza arbitraria de los gastos de guerra y de las demás actividades militares transforma a éstas en instrumentos ideales para controlar las relaciones esenciales entre las clases. Obviamente, si el sistema de guerra fuera descartado, se requeriría inmediatamente el uso de nuevos mecanismos políticos para cumplir esta sub-función vital. Hasta tanto se hayan desarrollado, la continuidad del sistema de guerra debe verse asegurada, aunque tan solo sea para preservar la calidad y el grado de pobreza que una sociedad requiere como un incentivo, como así también para mantener la estabilidad de su organización interna del poder.” Esta semana nos han hablado de que en marzo de 2022 atravesó España una calima, viento con polvo en suspensión, procedente de Africa que venia cargado de radioisotopos como el cesio 137. “Considera que las pruebas nucleares atmosféricas y subterráneas han diseminado, como consecuencia de la lluvia radiactiva, importantes cantidades de cesio-137 radiactivo, estroncio 90 y otros isótopos cancerígenos en todo el planeta y han ocasionado importantes perjuicios medioambientales y para la salud en las zonas en que se han realizado las pruebas;” El siguiente considerando deja en bastante mal lugar al tuitero “operador nuclear” que siempre trata de convencernos de lo segura que es la energia nuclear y lo bien que se porta la industria nuclear y lo bien que trabaja: “Considera que algunas partes del mundo se encuentran amenazadas por el almacenamiento y la inmersión incontrolados, inseguros y poco profesionales de los submarinos nucleares, así como por su combustible radiactivo y las fugas de los reactores nucleares; considera que, a causa de ello, son muchas las posibilidades de que grandes regiones puedan verse pronto contaminadas por la radiación;” Almacenamiento e inmersión incontrolada de residuos radiactivos como la que provoco que los pescadores de Etiopía decidieran hacerse piratas e impedir que les arrojaran la basura radiactiva de Europa en sus aguas cercanas. Tal y como yo explique en “UTP 44 Los piratas somalies y los depósitos radiactivos que provocaban cáncer” hace ya seis años. Europa es un almacén al aire libre de basura radiactiva y mucho más después del accidente de Chernobil tal y como han reconocido científicos como la Dra Helen Caldicott, se acumulan en las vías de países como Ucrania centenares, sino miles, de vagones cargados hasta arriba de basura radiactiva de las procedencias mas diversas, posiblemente hasta de España. Acordemonos de los miles o cientos de miles de barriles con basura radiactiva arrojados frente a las costas gallegas y otras costas europeas. Pero no solo este tipo de mierda contaminante se ha escondido en el fondo del mar como podemos leer en el sexto punto a considerar: “Considera que todavía se ha de encontrar una solución adecuada al problema de las armas químicas y convencionales sumergidas después de las dos guerras mundiales en numerosos puntos de los mares que rodean a Europa como una solución "fácil" para deshacerse de estas reservas, sin que nadie sepa todavía hoy en día cuáles pueden ser las repercusiones ecológicas a largo plazo, en particular para la fauna marina y la vida costera;” Decir aqui que toda la revolución verde que se produjo después de la segunda guerra mundial y que consistió en introducir los fitosanitarios en el campo se tradujo en sacar los remanentes químicos de las fabricas que habían servido para crear explosivos y emplearlos en las tareas de fertilización de la agricultura moderna. La Revolución Verde se basó en el uso de productos fitosanitarios derivados en gran medida de sobrantes de la industria armamentística. Muchos de los compuestos químicos desarrollados para la guerra encontraron una nueva aplicación en la agricultura, impulsando la productividad, pero también generando consecuencias ambientales y de salud. Los tres productos primarios más importantes fueron: Derivados del amoníaco (NH₃) Procedencia: Durante la guerra, el amoníaco se utilizó en la fabricación de explosivos como el nitrato de amonio, un componente clave en bombas y municiones. Aplicación en la agricultura: Al terminar el conflicto, la industria química adaptó este compuesto para la fabricación de fertilizantes nitrogenados (como el nitrato de amonio y la urea), esenciales para aumentar los rendimientos agrícolas. Compuestos organoclorados Procedencia: Originalmente investigados como posibles agentes químicos de guerra, los organoclorados se utilizaron durante la guerra por sus propiedades tóxicas. Aplicación en la agricultura: Uno de los productos más emblemáticos fue el DDT (dicloro difenil tricloroetano), utilizado como insecticida en campañas militares para controlar el paludismo y luego aplicado masivamente en la agricultura. Su persistencia en el medio ambiente lo llevó a ser prohibido en muchos países décadas después. Derivados del fósforo y organofosforados Procedencia: Los compuestos organofosforados tienen su origen en los gases nerviosos desarrollados por los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, como el sarin y el tabún, diseñados para la guerra química. Aplicación en la agricultura: Tras la guerra, estos compuestos fueron adaptados como plaguicidas (ejemplo: paratión, malatión), utilizados para el control de plagas en cultivos. A pesar de su eficacia, su toxicidad también representó riesgos para los agricultores y el medio ambiente. Estos productos marcaron el inicio de una agricultura altamente dependiente de los agroquímicos, con impactos positivos en la productividad, pero también efectos adversos en la salud humana y los ecosistemas. Pues no contentos con introducirlos en nuestra dieta a través de la comida también fueron arrojados por cientos de miles de toneladas a las aguas que rodean Europa como nos dice el considerando numero 6. En el numero 7 dice "Considera que la Unión Europea deberá contribuir a encontrar una solución al problema de que, como consecuencia de las actuales guerras en regiones enteras de África, se hayan arruinado estructuras agrícolas y humanas…”, lo que nos lleva a aceptar las políticas de aceptar inmigración africana sin pararnos a pensar en las consecuencias. Luego en la consideración numero 9 apartado d pide: “desarrollar planes para la creación de grupos de protección internacionales y europeos con utilización de personal, equipos e instalaciones del sector militar, que estén disponibles en el marco de la Asociación por la paz para su intervención en situaciones de emergencia relacionadas con el medio ambiente;” En su petición numero 17 dice: “Subraya la importancia de reforzar el trabajo medioambiental preventivo con el fin de poder enfrentarse a las catástrofes naturales y medioambientales;”. Hemos podido comprobar de primera mano en la inundación de Valencia como los militares ni estaban ni se les esperaba. Esta saliendo a la luz como recibieron ordenes concretas para no intervenir y como se impidió que incluso actuasen de motu propio los soldados fuera del ámbito militar. El punto 21 es papel mojado: “Considera que debe lucharse contra el secreto que rodea la investigación militar y que debe promoverse el derecho de transparencia y control democrático de los proyectos de investigación militar;”. Vemos como las fumigaciones ilegales de geoingeniería que con toda seguridad son llevadas a cabo por militares no termina de salir a la luz. Claramente en el punto 23 vuelve a incidir en lo peligroso de la industria nuclear diciendo: "Subraya que una de las amenazas medioambientales más graves en zonas próximas a la UE es la falta de control de los residuos de la industria nuclear, de las existencias de armas biológicas y químicas…” Los puntos 26 a 30 sobre Aspectos jurídicos de la actividad militar dicen: “26. Pide a la Unión Europea que actúe de manera que las tecnologías de armas denominadas no letales y el desarrollo de nuevas estrategias de armas estén cubiertas y reguladas por convenios internacionales; 27. Considera que el HAARP (Programa de Investigación de Alta Frecuencia Auroral Activa) es un asunto de interés mundial debido a sus considerables repercusiones sobre el medio ambiente y exige que los aspectos jurídicos, ecológicos y éticos sean investigados por un órgano internacional independiente antes de continuar la investigación y los ensayos; lamenta que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos se haya negado reiteradamente a enviar a un representante que preste declaración, ante la audiencia pública o cualquier reunión posterior que celebre su comisión competente, sobre los riesgos medioambientales y para la población del Programa de Investigación de Alta Frecuencia Auroral Activa (HAARP) que se está financiando en la actualidad en Alaska; 28. Pide que el grupo encargado de evaluar las opciones científicas y tecnológicas (STOA) acepte examinar las pruebas científicas y técnicas disponibles en todos las conclusiones de las investigaciones que se están llevando a cabo en la actualidad sobre el programa HAARP, con el objeto de evaluar la naturaleza exacta y el grado de riesgo de este programa para el medio ambiente local y mundial, así como para la salud pública en general; 29. Pide a la Comisión que, en colaboración con los Gobiernos de Suecia, Finlandia, Noruega y la Federación Rusa, examine las repercusiones medioambientales y para la salud pública del programa HAARP para el Antártico y que le informe de sus conclusiones; 30. Pide, en particular, que se celebre un convenio internacional para la prohibición global de toda la investigación y desarrollo, ya sea militar o civil, que tenga como finalidad aplicar los conocimientos químicos, eléctricos, de vibración de sonido u otro tipo de funcionamiento del cerebro humano al desarrollo de armas que puedan permitir cualquier forma de manipulación de seres humanos, incluyendo la prohibición de cualquier despliegue actual o posible de dichos sistemas;” Hablando sobre el cambio climático se atreve a soltar esta pedazo de mentira: “La temperatura de la Tierra ha aumentado 5º en este siglo debido a un aumento de las emisiones, sobre todo de dióxido de carbono.” Sobre las armas denominadas no letales dice lo siguiente: “Las denominadas armas no letales no son un nuevo tipo de armas sino que han existido en muchos años en forma de, por ejemplo, cañones de agua, balas de goma y gas lacrimógeno. Pero actualmente se han desarrollado técnicas más avanzadas que, a pesar de que pueden causar daños graves e incluso la invalidez o la muerte, se denominan no letales. Se han desarrollado tecnologías contra material y contra personas. Un ejemplo son las armas acústicas que, al producir un ruido de bajo nivel, pueden confundir y desorientar, y de esa manera neutralizar, al enemigo. Otros ejemplos son la espuma adhesiva y el láser cegador. Los productos químicos que decoloran el agua pueden afectar tanto a la agricultura como a la población. Mediante rayos electromagnéticos se pueden destruir los sistemas de información, navegación y comunicación del enemigo. Las denominadas amas no letales también pueden utilizarse contra las infraestructuras y las autoridades de un Estado, pueden destruir el sistema de ferrocarril o producir el caos en el sector financiero de un país. La característica común de estas armas es que tienen como objetivo retrasar, obstruir y vencer a un potencial enemigo a "nivel estratégico” Sobre las armas químicas deja caer una mentira enorme: “Las medidas de las Naciones Unidas destinadas a destruir las armas químicas y otros tipos de armas de destrucción masiva en Iraq ha producido una grave preocupación sobre las repercusiones medioambientales de las actividades militares y ha subrayado la necesidad de buscar métodos ecológicos para neutralizar las armas.” Como bien sabemos a dia de hoy jamas se encontraron armas químicas en Irak por mucho que Bush hijo utilizase esa excusa para arrasar el pais. Lo que si reconoce abiertamente es la desfachatez en la salvaguarda de dichas armas químicas añadiendo: “Se ha confirmado que aproximadamente 150.000 toneladas de bombas, obuses y minas con armas químicas, principalmente gas de mostaza, fosgeno, tabun y arsénico, se depositaron en Skagerack (un estrecho marino, una de las principales rutas marítimas del norte de Europa ubicado en el norte de Europa, entre Dinamarca, Noruega y Suecia) al final de la segunda guerra mundial. En el Mar Báltico la cifra es de 40.000 toneladas. Muchos de los contenedores se encuentran completamente oxidados y las armas químicas están en contacto directo con el agua del mar. De todas formas, se ha decidido que deben permanecer en el fondo del mar ya que el riesgo de recuperarlas se considera aún mayor.” Sobre las pruebas nucleares militares dice: “La cantidad total de radiactividad liberada a la atmósfera en los ensayos atmosféricos se calcula entre 100 y 1.000 veces mayor que la producida en Chernobil.” Continua diciendo: “El plutonio es ciertamente la sustancia más peligrosa que se conoce. Muchos países poseen grandes cantidades de plutonio militar y pueden producirse armas nucleares de una forma relativamente simple a partir de plutonio "civil". Las instalaciones que actualmente tienen una función civil pueden convertirse rápidamente en fábricas de armas. En la fabricación del plutonio se producen grandes cantidades de residuos líquidos altamente radiactivos. El tratamiento de los residuos radiactivos causa problemas enormes. La producción en gran escala de armas de destrucción masiva durante las últimas décadas ha producido grandes cantidades de residuos. No existe ningún método adecuado conocido para almacenar los residuos radiactivos. Se almacenan normalmente en contenedores, pero grandes cantidades se liberan en la naturaleza. Los residuos radiactivos son extremadamente inflamables y pueden explotar si no están ventilados o refrigerados. En 1957 ocurrió un accidente en la planta nuclear Chelyabinsk-65 cerca de la ciudad de Kystym en los Urales. Un contenedor radiactivo explotó y los residuos radiactivos se extendieron en una zona de 1.000 Km2. Fue preciso evacuar a 10.000 personas. Cerca del lago Karachay, en las proximidades de Chelyabinsk-65, todavía es posible recibir, situándose simplemente en la orilla del lago, un nivel de radiactividad tal que produce la muerte instantánea. En la zona del Báltico existen extensas áreas contaminadas por antiguas actividades militares soviéticas. En Estonia, se encuentra el lago Sillanmä, también llamado el lago nuclear, que acoge residuos militares radiactivos equivalentes a miles de armas nucleares, el lago Sillanmä se encuentra a 100 metros del mar Báltico. Cualquier vertido al mar Báltico podría tener consecuencias devastadoras para el medio ambiente en toda la región del Báltico.” Luego explica sobre el HAARP y como el gobierno norteamericano se ha negado a dar ninguna explicación sobre el mismo o los usos que se le dan. “El HAARP es un proyecto de investigación que utiliza instalaciones terrestres y una red de antenas, cada una equipada con su propio transmisor, para calentar partes de la ionosfera con potentes ondas de radio. La energía generada calienta partes de la ionosfera, lo que produce agujeros en la ionosfera y "lentes" artificiales. El HAARP puede utilizarse para muchos fines. Mediante la manipulación de las características eléctricas de la ionosfera se puede controlar una gran cantidad de energía. Si se utiliza como arma militar, esta energía puede tener un impacto devastador sobre el enemigo. El HAARP puede enviar muchos millones más de energía que cualquier otro transmisor convencional. La energía también puede dirigirse a un blanco móvil, lo que podría constituir un potencial sistema antimisiles. El proyecto permite también una mejor comunicación con submarinos y la manipulación de condiciones climáticas globales. Ahora bien, también es posible hacer lo contrario e interferir las comunicaciones. Mediante la manipulación de la ionosfera se pueden bloquear las comunicaciones globales a la vez que se transmiten las propias. Otra aplicación es la penetración de la tierra (tomografía) con rayos X a una profundidad de varios kilómetros para detectar campos de petróleo y gas o instalaciones militares subterráneas.” Este punto es el que muchos consideramos se ha utilizado para crear o amplificar terremotos. Por ejemplo, yo mismo comprobé como el sistema HAARP estuvo encendido a máxima potencia el dia del terremoto que supuestamente provoco el accidente de Fukushima. “Otra aplicación es el radar sobre el horizonte, y definir objetivos a larga distancia. De esta manera, se puede detectar la aproximación de objetos más allá del horizonte. Desde la década de los cincuenta los EE.UU. han realizado explosiones de material nuclear en los cinturones Van Allen.” Esto lo contaba la monja Rosalie Bertell para explicar como la llamada anomalía del Atlantico sur fue creada por unos misiles nucleares...el proyecto Argus en 1958. Dos bombas de hidrogeno que dañaron gravemente la cubierta protectora de la Tierra. “Otra consecuencia grave de HAARP son los agujeros de la ionosfera causados por las potentes ondas de radio. La ionosfera nos protege de la radiación cósmica. Se espera que los agujeros se cierren de nuevo, pero la experiencia con la capa de ozono hace pensar lo contrario. Esto quiere decir que hay agujeros considerables en la ionosfera que nos protege. Debido a sus considerables efectos sobre el medio ambiente, HAARP es un asunto de interés mundial y debe cuestionarse si las ventajas de este sistema realmente son superiores a los riesgos. Hay que investigar los efectos ecológicos y éticos antes de proseguir con la investigación y los ensayos. HAARP es un proyecto casi desconocido y es importante que la opinión pública sepa de qué se trata. El HAARP está vinculado a 50 años de investigación espacial intensiva de marcado carácter militar, incluyendo el proyecto "guerra de las estrellas", para controlar la alta atmósfera y las comunicaciones. Este tipo de proyectos deben considerarse como una grave amenaza para el medio ambiente, con un impacto incalculable sobre la vida humana. Incluso ahora, nadie sabe el impacto que podrá tener el proyecto HAARP. Debemos luchar contra el secreto en la investigación militar. Hay que fomentar la transparencia y el acceso democrático a los proyectos de investigación militar y el control parlamentario de los mismos.” Debemos a recordar a nuestros oyentes que después de esta parrafada oficial se nos sigue llamando magufos por referirnos a este proyecto como un arma militar y esta gentuza tiene la desfachatez de decir que el proyecto HAARP infringe el Derecho internacional. Sobre lo que contamina el ámbito militar nos dicen que en un informe del año 1995 de la ONU se cita que sólo las fuerzas armadas suecas liberaron en un año 866.199 toneladas de dióxido de carbono. Tengamos en cuenta esto cuando nos piden que dejemos aparcado el coche porque contamina. Vayamos ahora a las consideraciones finales, en un informe previo de 1995 se dice textualmente: “Observando que el coste de ejecución de estas estrategias podría ascender a 774.000 millones de dólares para los próximos diez años y que esto revela la necesidad de cooperación…” 774.000 millones de dólares en 1995 equivaldrían aproximadamente a 1.610.000 millones de dólares en 2025, considerando una inflación acumulada estimada del 108%. O sea, la deuda total de España destinada a no se sabe muy bien que, aunque yo sospecho que las fumigaciones clandestinas de la geoingenieria se financian de esta manera. En sus conclusiones finales, la numero 12 dice: “Pide, en particular, que se celebre un convenio internacional para la prohibición global de toda la investigación y desarrollo, ya sea militar o civil, que tenga como finalidad aplicar los conocimientos químicos, eléctricos, de vibración de sonido u otro tipo de funcionamiento del cerebro humano al desarrollo de armas que puedan permitir cualquier forma de manipulación de seres humanos, incluyendo la prohibición de cualquier despliegue actual o posible de dichos sistemas;” Creemos que esto es papel mojado y que se sigue experimentando sin ningún control sobre esto. ………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Bueno, ya está claro donde realizaremos el evento para presentar mi ultimo libro La Línea, el sitio es la ermita de la Soledad en Loriguilla (el nuevo), está en la carretera de Loriguilla a Ribarroja del Turia (CV374), se ve el promontorio a la derecha de Loriguilla. No está indicada la ermita en la rotonda que lleva hacia ella, pero se ve claramente cual es la carretera. https://maps.app.goo.gl/q7arFtPoL2RsgyWv5 El dia, el sábado dia 22 de febrero. La hora, como no puede ser de otra manera, ja, ja, ja, las 11 de la mañana. Así formamos un bonito 33 junto con el dia. Mi intención es estar en las mesas de la ermita que tiene unas vistas panorámicas muy chulas hasta la hora de comer y luego irnos a comer a un asador a Cheste. Dicho asador se llena, así que sería interesante confirmar la asistencia a la comida ya que yo encargaré una mesa por anticipado. Posiblemente se puedan ampliar plazas al llegar al evento...pero no estoy 100% seguro de eso. La comida seria a la carta y cada uno se pagaría lo suyo. El sitio suele salir a la carta por unos 35 euros, una buena comida con entrecot. También llevare algunos ejemplares de mis tres libros: Blasco Ibáñez desvelado, Ojos bien abiertos y La Línea. Del segundo y el tercero solo tengo 4 unidades de cada y son de autor, sólo hay 5 ejemplares de autor, y no se pueden comprar a Amazon. Todos son tapa blanda, el primero a 18 euros, el segundo a 25 y el tercero a 22, o sea, todos mucho mas baratos que en Amazon. El evento se trataría de pasar un rato disfrutando de las vistas y conociendonos, luego os hablaría del tercer libro y sobre las líneas ley. Finalmente haríamos (el que quiera) una especie de ritual bueno para desear que se tuerzan los planes de los malos. Se trataría de aprovechando el sitio tan energético pensar en cosas que queremos que no sucedan, nunca desear el mal a nadie, pasarnos una hoja en blanco de papel e ir pensando para nuestros adentros lo que deseamos que no ocurra y escribirlo mentalmente en la hoja. Tras pasar por todos los que participemos, la hoja la rompería diciendo tres veces, nada de esto se va a cumplir, van a fracasar vuestros planes malvados. Tras esto volveríamos a disfrutar del paisaje y charlar un poco hasta la hora de comer para salir aproximadamente a las 2 hacia la comida. El que no quiera ir a comer puede quedarse a comer con lo que el mismo traiga en este sitio, esperemos que no haya gente ocupando las mesas y salga un dia soleado. Hay mucho césped alrededor y sitio suficiente para aparcar unos cuantos coches. Lo dicho, pasaremos un dia muy agradable. No hace falta comprar ningún libro para acudir. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

Charles Moxley Jr has spent over 35 years as a litigator in New York, in large and complex commercial, securities, insurance and other cases throughout the United States. He is perhaps the last person one might imagine could bring about the end of a continually proliferating international presence of nuclear weapons. Yet personages as eminent as the late Robert S. McNamara, and Cyrus Vance, as well as nuclear security expert physicist Kosta Tsipis think he might have hit a promising line of attack to quell an ever growing international arsenal of nuclear weapons threatening just just world peace but civilization itself. Moxley analyzes the question in light of the July 1996 opinion issued by the International Court of Justice, as well as the law as articulated by the United States itself. Using generally recognized facts as to the characteristics and effects of nuclear weapons Moxley Jr concludes that the use of nuclear weapons is "per se" unlawful.To back up his arguments Moxley Jr wrote a comprehensive treatise, in excess of 800 pages, to examine both the International Court of Justice's perspective, and also the legal claims made by the United States, in light of the known characteristics of nuclear weapons. His book, which took 10 years to produce in its first edition, was reviewed by major figures in the field, has recently been updated, and released as a two-volume set. It was the new release of these books that prompted our conversation.In our discussion we unpacked and clarified the various legal issues, as well as the rather strange and one might say absurd position of the United States regarding the effectiveness of their own nuclear weapons arsenal. The result is what can be a clear primer that can add a new perspective regarding the sanity of a world where over 10,000 nuclear weapons exist, with over 2000 such weapons kept on hair trigger alert, and perhaps encourage your own activism in this regard. At the very least it will reveal the remarkable circumstances surrounding the 1996 International Court of Appeals proceedings, and a legal case few outside of experts have ever heard about. I enjoyed the discussion and learned a great deal, and I hope the same will be true of you. As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

On this day in legal history, November 29 marks a significant turning point during the Vietnam War era. In 1967, Robert S. McNamara, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, announced his resignation from the position to become president of the World Bank. This decision came amidst the escalating unpopularity of the Vietnam Conflict both in the United States and internationally.McNamara, who had a rapid ascent from being an automotive executive, had become one of the most powerful Defense Secretaries in American history. His tenure, starting in 1961 under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, was marked by a strong managerial style and significant involvement in foreign affairs, particularly the Vietnam War. Initially, McNamara was a staunch supporter of U.S. involvement in the war and played a key role in advising President Johnson to escalate the conflict in 1964. However, as the war progressed, he began to privately question U.S. policy in Vietnam and eventually advocated for a negotiated settlement.In the summer of 1967, McNamara was instrumental in drafting the San Antonio formula, a peace proposal that sought to end U.S. bombing in North Vietnam and invited the North Vietnamese to engage in productive talks. However, this proposal was rejected by North Vietnam in October of the same year. Following this, in early November, McNamara submitted a memorandum to President Johnson, recommending that the U.S. freeze its troop levels, halt the bombing in the north, and shift the responsibility of the ground war to the South Vietnamese. These recommendations, however, were outright rejected by President Johnson.McNamara's resignation was a significant moment in the history of the Vietnam War. He had become a target for the ire of the U.S. anti-war movement due to his initial support for expanding the Vietnam War. His departure marked the end of his tenure as the longest-serving Secretary of Defense. He was succeeded by Johnson adviser Clark Clifford. McNamara's resignation highlighted the internal conflicts and changing views within the U.S. administration regarding the Vietnam War. It also underscored the increasing unpopularity and complexity of the conflict, which continued to shape U.S. foreign policy and legal considerations for years to come.Law firms are grappling with whether to inform clients about their use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in legal work. While AI promises to enhance efficiency and speed, it raises questions about disclosure practices. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, for instance, hasn't decided on a firm policy but emphasizes full disclosure in any AI use. This issue has sparked debate within the legal community, with differing opinions on whether and how AI use should be communicated to clients.Former U.S. magistrate judge and New York State Bar Association AI task force member Ron Hedges questions the need for detailed disclosure of every AI research tool used but stresses the importance of transparency about data use and client awareness. Various state bar associations are also weighing in. The California Bar recently advised lawyers to consider AI disclosure, while the Florida Bar recommends obtaining informed consent for AI use that involves sharing confidential information.AI disclosure is expected to feature in engagement letters, with law firms likely to follow client preferences. Ultimately, the consensus is to adhere to client instructions regarding AI use, but proactive disclosure policies run the gamut.Law Firms Wrestle With How Much to Tell Clients About AI UseOn November 29, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to deliberate on the legality of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) in-house enforcement proceedings. This follows an appeal by President Biden's administration against a decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in 2022 that the SEC's internal tribunal system violates the U.S. Constitution's Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial and infringes on presidential and congressional powers.The case centers on hedge fund manager George Jarkesy, who was fined and barred from the securities industry by the SEC for securities fraud. Critics argue that the SEC holds an unfair advantage in its administrative proceedings compared to federal court juries. The SEC conducted 270 in-house proceedings in the fiscal year ending September 30, exceeding the 231 cases in federal court.The Supreme Court's ruling could significantly impact enforcement actions against misconduct in various sectors, potentially hampering the SEC and other agencies. The court has previously expressed skepticism towards broad federal regulatory powers, including in a 2018 ruling on the SEC's selection of in-house judges and a 2021 decision facilitating challenges to agency actions in federal court.Jarkesy's challenge, backed by various conservative and business groups, reflects broader concerns about the regulatory reach of the federal "administrative state" in areas like energy, environment, and financial regulation. The SEC, after investigating Jarkesy and his firm Patriot28 LLC, found them guilty of several violations, including misrepresentation, and imposed significant financial penalties.The 5th Circuit's decision criticized the SEC's discretion in choosing case venues and found that job protections for its administrative judges infringe on presidential powers. The Supreme Court's ruling, expected by the end of June, could also influence upcoming decisions on the constitutional conformity of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's funding structure and federal agencies' regulatory actions defense in court.US Supreme Court weighs legality of SEC in-house enforcementAdobe is set to defend its proposed $20 billion acquisition of Figma at a closed hearing on December 8, addressing EU antitrust concerns. The European Commission has previously warned that this acquisition could reduce competition in the global market for interactive product design software, where Figma is a significant player. The Commission is concerned that the deal might reinforce Adobe's dominance in vector and raster editing tools, eliminating Figma as a competitor. During the hearing, Adobe will have the opportunity to present its case to senior Commission officials, national antitrust watchdogs, as well as rivals and third parties. Adobe has expressed willingness to propose remedies to address regulatory issues. The EU antitrust enforcer is expected to make a decision on the deal by February 5. Additionally, the acquisition has raised concerns in Britain, with its competition agency indicating that the deal could negatively impact innovation in software used by the majority of UK digital designers.Adobe to defend Figma deal at Dec. 8 EU hearing, sources sayMeta Platforms, the owner of WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, plans to appeal a U.S. judge's ruling in its ongoing privacy dispute with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied Meta's motion for the court to oversee the dispute, leading Meta to file an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The core of the dispute is whether an FTC judge or a district judge should decide on potentially tightening a 2019 consent decree, which primarily affects Meta's earnings from users under 18. This legal battle began when the FTC proposed modifying the 2019 settlement, under which Facebook (now Meta) had to pay $5 billion. The FTC aims to restrict Meta from profiting from data collected on users under 18 and impose broader limitations on its use of facial recognition technology. The FTC also accused Meta of misleading parents about the controls in its Messenger Kids app. Additionally, the FTC has sought to force Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp in a separate legal action.Meta says it will appeal US judge's ruling in privacy fight with FTC | ReutersThe evolving U.S. energy policy, particularly with the focus on clean energy and infrastructure, is significantly increasing the demand for legal advisors experienced in these fields.

Episode 280s McNamara's Impact on Ford In 1946, as Henry Ford II grappled with the chaos his grandfather had left behind, the company lost a staggering $85 million (about $1.4 Billion today) within eight months. Enter Robert S. McNamara, the brightest star among the Whiz Kids – a group of ten highly educated and ambitious men who had worked together in the U.S. Army's Air Force. Together, they breathed new life into Ford Motor Company.Did Henry Ford II seek the brilliance of General Motors' Alfred P. Sloan when he named Robert S. McNamara as president of Ford Motor Company? As GM's dominance grew in the 1920s and '30s, Ford aspired to surpass them. McNamara, a non-Ford family member, infused modernity into the company like an invigorating breath of fresh air. However, while Sloan sculpted the contemporary automotive corporation, McNamara embodied a sterile, numbers-driven manager.Both Sloan and McNamara were modern managers; however, McNamara was cold and distant—a bean counter who prioritized statistical analysis over product innovation.As Ford's fortunes were resurrected, Henry Ford II savored an additional triumph – in 1957, Ford outsold Chevrolet for the first time in over two decades. Observers noted McNamara's quick adaptability and his establishment of robust financial controls but struggled to pinpoint a lasting legacy.McNamara's ascent to Ford's presidency symbolized the rise of the modern manager, but would he be considered for such a position today? Doubtful. The legendary Robert Lutz should remind us that product reigns supreme. Today, bringing in someone without strong industry experience is risky.In 1960, McNamara retired from Ford, less than a month after becoming President, to accept President John F. Kennedy's invitation to serve as Secretary of Defense. He remained in this post after Kennedy's death to support President Lyndon B. Johnson during the tumultuous Vietnam War era. Through war and peace, Robert S. McNamara's sharp intellect and sense of fiscal responsibility helped preserve Ford Motor Company during a time of crisis.www.nodrivinggloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #sloan #fordfalcon #secertaryofdefense #NaPodPoMo

On the Saturday October 14, 2023 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we get to know Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris. His film “The Thin Blue Line” placed fifth on a Sight & Sound poll of the greatest documentaries ever made, and he has, in his films, documented everything from the career of Robert S. McNamara, the Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War and physicist Stephen Hawking to a topiary gardener, a robot scientist and a naked mole rat specialist. “The Pigeon Tunnel,” his latest film, now streaming on Apple TV+, is a look at the extraordinary life of David Cornwell a.k.a. prolific author John le Carré. Through a retelling of his life, Cornwell examines the very essence of truth, and how memory and manipulation play a part in how we shape our world and our perceptions. “The Pigeon Tunnel” is as compelling as any le Carré novel. Cornwell/ le Carré knows how to tell a tale, and like any good spy, he knows what details to include, and which to hide away. Morris doesn't attempt to chip away at the façade and get at the underlying truth, because he knows, in the hands of master storyteller, a good story is a good story, whether it is true or not. We'll also meet Robert McCallum, director of the Amazon Prime documentary “Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe,” an award-winning look at the life and legacy of legendary children's entertainer Ernie Coombs.      Finally, we'll chat with Tatiana Maslany. You know her as the Emmy winning star of thew science-fiction thriller “Orphan Black,” and as part of the Marvel Universe as the star of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.” Today she joins me to talk about playing Jennifer, a Monarch butterfly who suffers from acrophobia, a fear of heights, in the new animated film “Butterfly Tale.” We talk Butterflies, Broadway and much more.

Craig McNamara is the son of Robert S. McNamara, who served as U.S. Secretary of Defense under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson during the 1960s. From his childhood, Craig cherished his father. But he also struggled for years to understand the elder McNamara's role in the decisions that led to the war in Vietnam – an experience that forever distanced father from son.Now a businessman and walnut farmer, Craig McNamara is founder of the Center for Land-Based Learning, an organization devoted to educating young farmers in the business of sustainable agriculture. Craig joins Mark Lawrence to talk about his remarkable life and especially his complicated relationship with the man he called ‘Dad.'

Craig shares his dramatic life journey from the JFK White House to a farm near UC Davis, the challenge of loving a complex father and how his farm brought healing inside and with the Vietnamese people.

We wrap up Season 10 with returning guest host Anuradha Rana (Associate Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, DePaul University) as we review Daniel Lombroso's White Noise, a profile of some of the current leading figures among the alt-right. This leads to a discussion of the dangers of turning one's lens on problematic ideologues, given how the camera may amplify their message even as it deconstructs and criticizes it. From there, Bart and Chris interview the great Errol Morris, whose American Dharma offers a portrait of right-wing activist Steve Bannon. We've wanted to have Morris on an episode since we started, given how we named our podcast partly in homage to his The Fog of War. Though occasionally contentious, as Chris questions Morris on his approach to Bannon, our conversation proves fascinating and respectful. What a great way to end the season! Listen in and enjoy.

Scott interviews Greg Mitchell about The Beginning or the End, his new book that tells the story of the making of the 1947 film of the same name. The movie was conceived as an exposé on the horrors of America’s use of the nuclear bomb against Japan, partly at the urging of former Manhattan Project scientists. But it was quickly co-opted by the U.S. government, forcing many changes to the film’s structure, and eventually resulting in what amounted to a piece of pro-military propaganda. Mitchell’s book explores much of the history of this period, revealing the true circumstances of Japan’s potential surrender and America’s real motives for deploying the bomb.

A short decade from now, Africa will have the youngest workforce in an aging world and the potential to become a spectacular economic success story. Or it could become home to the overwhelming majority of the world’s poor. “By 2030 or so, we'll probably need to create about 11 million jobs a year,” says Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, one of the world's leading development economists. “That’s a tall order.” But not an impossible one, says Okonjo-Iweala, a former managing director of the World Bank and Finance Minister of Nigeria. While the window for Africa to become a job-creating manufacturing powerhouse like the so-called “Asian Tiger” countries, she says there is still the potential that “smokestack-less” industries such as services and technology that are booming in countries like Rwanda could help create an economic African Lion. Okonjo-Iweala says African policymakers must learn the lessons of the continent’s most recent boom in order to ensure a prosperous future. For the first 15 years of the 21st century, African economies as a group grew annually by four to six percent, at times outpacing the average global growth rate. African policymakers helped through better macroeconomic management of things like exchange rates, inflation, and negotiating down the continents huge debt burden. But falling commodity prices over the past several years expose a weakness in that success, stalling growth, and now African policymakers must push further to support entrepreneurs by investing in infrastructure and education and cutting the bureaucratic red tape that can stifle innovation. Okonjo-Iweala spoke with PolicyCast host Thoko Moyo after a recent visit to Harvard Kennedy School to deliver the Robert S. McNamara Lecture on War and Peace. For more on this topic, check out Okonjo-Iweala’s lecture, which sponsored by the Institute of Politics and titled “The Changing Face of Povery: Can Africa Surprise the World?”

On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I sit down to discuss the new film from documentarian Errol Morris, American Dharma. In a career that has spanned nearly forty years, Errol Morris has proven to be one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed documentary filmmakers in cinema history. From his early championing by Roger Ebert for his debut feature Gates of Heaven (1981) through critical notoriety for his examination of the case of Death Row inmate Randall Dale Adams, 1988's The Thin Blue Line (ultimately leading to Adams exoneration and release from prison), Morris has been one of the continuous shining lights of cinema. In 2003 he premiered what would become the first of what many critics would call his trilogy profiling controversial world leaders, first with Secretary of Defense (1961-1968) Robert S. McNamara in The Fog of War (2003), followed by The Unknown Known in which Morris profiled former Secretary of Defense (1975-1977 & 2001-2006) Donald Rumsfeld. Rounding out this unofficial "trilogy" is Morris' newest film, American Dharma (completed in 2018 but held up because of distribution struggles until 2019) which looks at the work of Former Executive Chairman of Breitbart News and White House Chief of Strategist for Donald Trump's 2016 run and subsequent win of the presidency. Dharma may be a controversial film, however it is powerful, important, and never boring. This is a spirited conversation that examines a great deal of what's going on in today's society. We may not be on point about everything, but our discussion is fueled by passion and a very real concern. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

Speaking to an advisor in 1966 about America's escalation of forces in Vietnam, American Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara confessed: 'We've made mistakes in Vietnam … I've made mistakes. But the mistakes I made are not the ones they say I made'. In her book, 'I Made Mistakes': Robert McNamara's Vietnam War Policy, 1960-1968 (Cambridge University Press, 2018), Dr. Aurélie Basha i Novosejt, Lecturer in American History at the University of Kent, provides a fresh and controversial examination of McNamara's decisions during the Vietnam War. Although McNamara is remembered as the architect of the Vietnam War, Dr. Novosejt draws on new primary sources - including the diaries of his close confidant & advisor John T. McNaughton - to reveal a man who resisted the war more than most. As Secretary of Defense, he did not want the costs of the war associated with a new international commitment in Vietnam, but he sacrificed these misgivings to instead become the public face of the war out of a sense of loyalty to the President Lyndon B. Johnson.  Cambridge University Professor Andrew Preston calls Dr. Novosejt’s book: ‘boldly original’, which sheds ‘new light on the subject’. In short Dr. Novosejt's books is a must read for any serious student of the Americanization of the Vietnam War in the 1960's. Charles Coutinho has a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written recently for the Journal of Intelligence History and Chatham House’s International Affairs.
