UC Regents lose control of nuclear weapons program

Five admirals, Carlyle Group and Rand take over


by Leuren Moret



UC and nuclear weapons: the kiss of death


The top-secret Manhattan Project was laid out by Robert Oppenheimer the night Ernest Lawrence took him to the Bohemian Club during World War II. It was a part of California's brutal rise to economic and political power described in "Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin" by Gray Brechin.

In 1939, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr had argued that building an atomic bomb "can never be done unless you turn the United States into one huge factory." Years later, he told his colleague Edward Teller, "I told you it couldn't be done without turning the whole country into a factory. You have done just that." That was after Edward Teller had stuck the proverbial knife in Oppenheimer's back, and pulled his security clearance.

Teller - also known as Dr. Strangelove - went on to promote a grandiose U.S. nuclear weapons program for decades at the nuclear weapons labs: Berkeley, Livermore and Los Alamos. The program remained under a no-bid University of California management contract for 61 years.

In a stealth takeover by the Carlyle Group, facilitated by five admirals, the management contract will be transferred next year to the University of Texas, where the military and the Carlyle Group will have control. A new "ramping up" of the nuclear weapons program is underway, with program funding at the highest level ever - even higher than during the Cold War - extending nuclear weapons into outer space, into the very atmosphere that makes life on earth possible, and with no "real" enemy in sight

HA! That will teach CA to vote contrary to the majority of the states, especially Texas.

Larry, perhaps you forgot, Texas is not a state, just like California, it's a Republic.

Part 2: http://www.sfbayview.com/092204/nuclearweapons092204.shtml


As Admiral George P. Nanos, appointed director of the Los Alamos lab in January 2003, and Admiral S. Robert Foley Jr., appointed UC vice president for laboratory management in November 2003, sat down at the table where the UC Regents waited, I began to wonder how many more admirals were involved and why. It did not take long to find out.

Admiral Foley informed the regents about the missing CREM, computer storage devices with classified data, and acknowledged that the security lapse damaged the university's chances of retaining its Los Alamos contract. "This erodes your position, without any question at all," he said. "It's about as bad as it could be when you're trying to prepare for a re-competition."

He announced that Jack Killeen had been appointed to the UC President's Office as special assistant for Los Alamos security: "Jack's our guy. He was with Wackenhut, and he's our guy."

Wackenhut has ties to (Lockheed) Martin-Marietta - 70 percent of Lockheed is now owned by the Carlyle Group - going back to 1958. By 2001, Wackenhut's revenues topped $2.8 billion as the leading provider of security at U.S. national defense sites, with a global presence on six continents.

Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat, former chief of the Indian navy


On July 17, 2004, Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat replied to my question, "Why are so many admirals involved with the nuclear weapons contract bid?"

"The reason why the Navy and the admirals are predominantly involved in the weapons," he said, "is that until the space military launch posts are ready and positioned with the minimum degree of reliability, the U.S. Navy has more than 70 percent of the first and second strike capability on its boats and hence an equivalent amount of the budget earmarked for strategic systems."

His comments made the link for me between the nuclear weapons program, the Navy, NASA and other types of directed energy weapons developed in nuclear weapons labs, which are intended for land, sea, air and space. Marion Fulk, a former Manhattan Project scientist and retired Livermore nuclear physical chemist, told me that nuclear weapons cannot be used in space without contaminating the atmosphere, and laser weapons will not work because there is too much space trash already up there which will impede the effectiveness of the lasers.

Wars in space will create more space trash until it is impossible to leave the earth. According to Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, it is already very dangerous now, since a paint chip nearly took out the windshield of the space shuttle.

The U.S. plans to weaponize space are a violation of the United Nations 1967 Outer Space Treaty: Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. The intent was "to promote international co-operation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space" and specifically prohibited the weaponization of space with ANY weapons, including nuclear weapons.

Part 4: http://www.sfbayview.com/100604/nuclearweapons100604.shtml

"...The association of Admiral Inman, the Bush crime syndicate, Texas oil companies and the Carlyle Group with the University of Texas (UT) explained why an advanced fourth generation nuclear weapons research program is at UT. And it explained why the University of Texas is so eager to take over the nuclear weapons labs. But this takeover resembles Inman's involvement with a stealth takeover of the Mars program, transferring it from the management and control of the Jet Propulsion Lab to NASA.

The NASA Deep Space Program was started at the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) at Cal Tech to do space exploration more efficiently with lower costs. Criticism of NASA/JPL Mars mission failure problems in the Thomas Young Report released on March 28, 2000, revealed that the supposedly public space program had been hijacked into secrecy and that the military was calling the shots."

Our children: uranium meat

How was the truth about depleted uranium covered up and hidden from the American people? The same way Agent Orange was hidden for decades from Vietnam veterans and the public.

As Henry Kissinger said, "Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy." The health impact of exposure to depleted uranium, known as Gulf War Syndrome, has been covered up under three presidents beginning in 1991, with former President George Bush. Establishment doctors and scientists helped with the cover-up.

Dr. Joyce Lashof, appointed by President Clinton as chair of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses (1995-1997), is a medical doctor and former dean of the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley. As a member of the faculty at the university that has managed the nuclear weapons labs for 61 years for the U.S. goverment, she had access to the best information on the health effects of depleted uranium.

More-4-Us


Dr. Henry Kissinger, who wrote: "Depopulation should be the highest priority of U.S. foreign policy towards the Third World."
Research on population control, preventing future births, is now being carried out secretly by biotech companies. Dr. Ignacio Chapela, a University of California microbiologist, discovered that wild corn in remote parts of Mexico is contaminated with lab altered DNA. That discovery made him a threat to the biotech industry.

Chapela was denied tenure at UC Berkeley when he reported this to the scientific community, despite the embarrassing discovery that UC Chancellor Berdahl, who was denying him tenure, was getting large cash payments - $40,000 per year - from the LAM Research Corp. in Plano, Texas.

Berdahl served as president of Texas A&M University before coming to Berkeley. During a presentation about his case, Chapela revealed that a spermicidal corn developed by a U.S. company is now being tested in Mexico. Males who unknowingly eat the corn produce non-viable sperm and are unable to reproduce.

Depopulation, also known as eugenics, is quite another thing and was proposed under the Nazis during World War II. It is the deliberate killing off of large segments of living populations and was proposed for Third World countries under President Carter's administration by the National Security Council's Ad Hoc Group on Population Policy.

Certainly is one of the most influential and effective lobbies.

Most likely it's the "cost-plus" contracts that are paid by us, the citizens, through their agents, congressmen. Well hell, everybody's got to make a living.
