What A Cell Phone Can Do To A Child's Brain In Just Two Minutes (12-26-2001)
http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/shtml/NEWS/P15S3.shtml
These are the first images that show the shocking effect that using a mobile phone has on a child's brain. Scientists have discovered that a call lasting just two minutes can alter the natural electrical activity of a child's brain for up to an hour afterwards. And they also found for the first time how radio waves from mobile phones penetrate deep into the brain and not just around the ear. The study by Spanish scientists has prompted leading medical experts to question whether it is safe for children to use mobile phones at all. Doctors fear that disturbed brain activity in children could lead to psychiatric and behavioural problems or impair learning ability.

The New Totalitarianism
Why there is a there a War in Afghanistan?
by John McMurtry, Professor of Philosophy, Guelph University
Science for Peace, 9 December 2001
Opening Address, Science for Peace Forum and Teach-In, "How Should Canada Respond to War and Terrorism". University of Toronto, December 9, 2001
I have been asked to speak on the topic “Why Is There A War in Afghanistan?” I could focus on the innumerable suspicious circumstances of this latest U.S. aerial war on a poverty-stricken country - its typical overriding of international law, its strategic fit with U.S. corporate designs for foreign oil resources, and the U.S. past strategic support of the very Enemy said to be targeted - like Noriega, Saddam, and Milosevic in the past.1 But instead I am going to situate this latest U.S.-led war on a third-world region within a much wider global process. I am going to consider “America’s New War” as the latest expression of a much deeper and wider terrorist campaign of an emergent totalitarian pattern of instituting world corporate rule with no limit of occupation or accountability beyond itself. Unhappily, it is not easy to see Canada’s foreign policy role in all this as anything other than obedient subjugation to this transnational corporate agenda at every senior level of decision-making.
CLIP - This long but excellent article certainly deserves to be read in its entirety. Here is the first and most interesting of a long series of complementary notes.
Notes
1. There is growing suspicion, which is officially unspeakable, that the Afghanistan War is “a set-up”, including September 11 itself. With any such hypothesis, one looks not only for the evidence confirming it, but more conscientiously, for the evidence disconfirming it. The evidence confirming U.S. and allied security awareness of and possible complicity in the 9/11 attack is considerable, but I have found no evidence disconfirming it. The principal reason against is the assumption that it is impossible that the U.S. national security apparatus would ever permit such a mass killing of Americans on U.S. soil, but this assumption itself is shaky given that Pearl Harbour itself was likely known about in advance, and non-defensive wars since have sacrificed tens of thousands of U.S. citizens (not to say millions of others) for so-called “foreign policy and national security objectives”. On September 12, I wrote a paragraph for publication that seems no less telling today. “The pervasive Echelon surveillance apparatus and the most sophisticated intelligence machinery ever built is unlikely not to have eavesdropped on some of the very complicated organisation and plans across states and boundaries for the multi-site hijacking of planes from major security structures across the U.S. - especially since the suicide pilots were trained as pilots in the U.S., and the World Trade Centre had already been bombed in 1993 by Afghan ex-allies of the CIA. Since the prime suspect, Osama bin Laden, is himself an ex-CIA operative in Afghanistan, and his moves presumably under the intensest scrutiny for past successful terrorist attacks on two U.S. embassies in 1998, one has to reflect on the connections. To begin with, the forensic principle of “who most benefits from the crime?” clearly points in the direction of the Bush administration. One would be naive to think the Bush Jr. faction and its oil, military-industrial and Wall Street backers who had stolen an election with its man rated in office by the majority of Americans as poor on the economy (a Netscape Poll poll taken off the screen when the planes hit the towers), and more deplored by the rest of the world as a deep danger to the global environment and the international rule of law, do not benefit astronomically from this mass-kill explosion. If there was a wish-list, it is all granted by this numbing turn of events. Americans are diverted from a free-falling economy to attack another foreign Satan, while the Bush regime’s popularity climbs. The military, the CIA and every satellite armed security apparatus have more money and power than ever, and become as dominant as they can over civilians in ‘the whole new era’ already being declared by the White House. The anti-missile plan to rule the skies is now exonerated (if irrelevantly so), and Israel’s apartheid civil war is vindicated at the same time. Even the surgingly popular ‘anti world-trade’ movement is now associated with foreign terrorists blowing up the World Trade Centre. The more you review the connections and the sweeping lapse of security across so many co-ordinates, the more the lines point backwards” (published in The Record, September and Economic Reform, October 2001). As we will see ahead, these benefits of the 9/11 attack go still deeper than the payoffs enumerated here. Isolated reports by major newspapers across the world of pre-9/11 links between the CIA, the Pakistan ISI, and bin Laden’s Al Qaeda network have been usefully documented by Michael C. Ruppert at http://www.copvcia.com.

NOTE: As we enter further ahead in the most critical decade ever experienced on this planet, it is vitally important to keep in mind - or be reminded! - that our very immediate future is now being jeopardized by our collective mindless, systematic abuse of our endangered environment.

Hotspots: Preserving pieces of a fragile biosphere
By E. O. Wilson
The biosphere that gives us life is wondrously rich. The number of organisms composing it is astronomical: One million trillion insects are believed to be alive on the planet at any one time; they in turn are beggared by the bacteria, ten billion of which may reside in a single pinch of soil. And so great is the diversity of life-forms that we still have not taken its measure. During the past two centuries biologists have discovered and given formal names to somewhat more than 1.5 million species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, yet various methods of estimation place the number of all species on Earth, known and still unknown, between 3 million and 100 million.
In spite of this immense complexity, perhaps because of it, the biosphere is also very fragile. Although it appears robust, it is actually a hollow shell around the planet so thin it cannot be seen edgewise from an orbiting spacecraft. Its teeming organisms are ill equipped to withstand humanity's relentless assault on the habitats in which they live. Our species, at more than six billion strong and heading toward nine billion by mid-century, has become a geophysical force more destructive than storms and droughts. Half the world's forests are gone. Tropical forests in particular, where most of Earth's plant and animal species live, are being clear-cut at the rate of perhaps one percent a year. In shallow waters from the West Indies to the Maldives many of Earth's coral reefs are literally fading away. Polluting, damming, and the introduction of alien organisms are causing the wholesale extinction of native aquatic species. Greenhouse warming, by edging climatic zones poleward faster than flora and fauna can emigrate, threatens the existence of entire ecosystems, including those of the Arctic and other hitherto least disturbed parts of the world.
Researchers generally agree that extant species are now vanishing at least 100 and possibly as much as 10,000 times faster than new ones are being born. Many experts believe that at the present rate of environmental change half the world's surviving species could be 11 gone by the end of the century.
Is there a way to divert the human juggernaut and save at least most of the remaining natural world? A providential arrangement in the geography of life makes it at least possible. Biodiversity is not distributed uniformly over land and sea. A large part of it is concentrated in a relatively small number of coral reefs, forests, savannas, and other habitats scattered on and around different continents. By preserving these special places, biologists have come to agree, it should be possible to accommodate the continuing human surge while protecting a large part of Earth's threatened fauna and flora.
Among the most precious of the special places are the hotspots, which conservation biologists define as natural environments containing exceptionally large numbers of endangered species found nowhere else. The most familiar hotspots include the Philippines, California's Mediterranean-climate coast, and Madagascar. Less well-known are Choco-Darien-Western Ecuador, the Western Ghats of India, and the Succulent Karoo of South Africa. Just 25 of the hottest of these hotspots occupy 1.4 percent of the planet's land surface, roughly equivalent to Alaska and Texas combined, yet are the exclusive homes of 44 percent of Earth's plant species and 35 percent of its birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Increasingly, these areas, among the biologically most opulent and fascinating places on Earth, have become the focus of global conservation efforts. Their plight is stark evidence of humankind's deadly impact on nature, and their attempted rescue a beacon of hope.

US missile shortage delays Iraq strike
By Sean Rayment
(Filed: 30/12/2001)
A SHORTAGE of cruise missiles has thrown plans for a full-scale strike on Iraq into disarray.
America's supply of the air launched version, one of the US air force's most sophisticated and deadly weapons, has become so depleted that military chiefs are pressing Boeing, the manufacturers, to speed up their production. Even so, the first of the new batch of missiles ordered last year is not expected for months, and it may take longer to rebuild stocks to a level that would make such an attack viable.
CLIP
The Pentagon has also given the go-ahead for a more sophisticated version of the "Daisy Cutter" bomb which has been used in Afghanistan. The BLU118/B was first dropped on December 14 in the Nevada desert. The devices creates a pressure wave capable of destroying caves and killing troops in the open.

MORE than 20,000 American troops have been moved into Qatar and Kuwait amid repeated suggestions that Washington is preparing to move the war on terrorism into Iraq, defence sources said yesterday. The United States moved the headquarters of its 3rd Army to Qatar two weeks ago and defence analysts have reported large numbers of troops being moved into the region since.

FBI wants access to worm's pilfered data (December 18, 2001)
The FBI is asking for access to a massive database that contains the private communications and passwords of the victims of the Badtrans Internet worm. Badtrans spreads through security flaws in Microsoft mail software and transmits everything the victim types. Since November 24, Badtrans has violated the privacy of millions of Internet users, and now the FBI wants to take part in the spying.
Victims of Badtrans are infected when they receive an email containing the worm in an attachment and either run the program by clicking on it, or use an email reader like Microsoft Outlook which may automatically run it without user intervention. Once executed, the worm replicates by sending copies of itself to all other email addresses found on the host's machine, and installs a keystroke-logger capable of stealing passwords including those used for telnet, email, ftp, and the web. Also captured is anything else the user may be typing, including personal documents or private emails.
Coincidentally, just four days before the breakout of Badtrans it was revealed that the FBI was developing their own keystroke-logging virus, called Magic Lantern. Made to complement the Carnivore spy system, Magic Lantern would allow them to obtain target's passwords as they type them. This is a significant improvement over Carnivore, which can only see data after it has been transmitted over the Internet, at which point the passwords may have been encrypted.
After Badtrans pilfers keystrokes the data is sent back to one of twenty-two email addresses (this is according to the FBI-- leading anti-virus vendors have only reported seventeen email addresses). CLIP
Last week the FBI contacted the owner of MonkeyBrains, Rudy Rucker, Jr., and requested a cloned copy of the password database and keylogged data. The database includes only information stolen from the victims of the virus, not information about the perpetrator. The FBI wants indiscriminant access to the illegally extracted passwords and keystrokes of over two million people without so much as a warrant. Even with a warrant they would have to specify exactly what information they are after, on whom, and what they expect to find. Instead, they want it all and for no justifiable reason.
One of the most basic tenets of an authoritarian state is one that claims rights for itself that it denies its citizens. Surveillance is perhaps one of the most glaring examples of this in our society. Accordingly, rather than hand over the entire database to the FBI, MonkeyBrains has decided to open the database to the public. Now everyone (including the FBI) will be able query which accounts have been compromised and search for their host names. Password and keylogged data will not be made available, for obvious legal reasons.
The implications of complying with the FBI's request, absent any legal authority, are staggering. This is information that no one, not even the FBI, could legally gather themselves. The fact that they seek to take advantage of this worm and benefit from its illicit spoils, demonstrates the FBI's complete and utter contempt for constitutionally mandated due process and protection from unreasonable search and seizure. It defies reason that the FBI expects the American people to trust them to only look at certain permissible nuggets of data and ignore the rest of what they collect. One need only imagine what J. Edgar Hoover would do with today's expansive surveillance system, coupled with the new powers granted by the Patriot Act, to appreciate the Orwellian nightmare that the United States is becoming. The last thing the FBI should have is a spying Internet worm, and it looks like they've found one. Welcome to the Magic Lantern.

NOTE: Please consider the material provided below and ponder the facts outlined.
First here is a bit of introductory info on this World Food Summit...
The World Food Summit: five years later, has been postponed in the wake of the September 11 attacks and rescheduled for 10-13 June, 2002, in Rome, Italy. The aim of the Summit is to assess progress made since the last World Food Summit in 1996 whose goals won't be met without renewed effort.
In 1996, Summit participants agreed to the following goal: "to halve, by the year 2015...the proportion of people who suffer from hunger..." The FAO now admits that progress towards that goal has been insufficient and that changes must be made if the goal is to be met. At the 2001 Summit, high level delegates (including heads of state) from most of the nations of the world came together to discuss the situation and to make agreements about what should be done. It was asserted that global food policy for the next decade was to be decided at that Summit.
For more details on the Summit, you may visit the FAO Website at http://www.fao.org/worldfoodsummit/
A visit at the very comprehensive FAO website is highly recommended!

Dear FAO,
I want to wish you much success at the World Food Summit in your important efforts to significantly reduce world hunger. To meet this goal it is essential to help educate people on the importance of shifting away from animal-based diets to nutritious plant-based diets.
At a time when an estimated 20 million people are dying annually from hunger and malnutrition, it is scandalous that over 70% of the grain produced in the United States and almost 40% of the grain produced worldwide is fed to animals destined for slaughter. It takes about 16 pounds of grain to produce one pound of edible beef from animals raised in feedlots. If people reduced their beef consumption by just 10 percent, it would free up enough grain to feed all of the world's people who annually die of hunger and related diseases. Land that grows potatoes, rice and other vegetables can support about 20 times as many people as land that produces grain-fed beef. This evidence indicates that the food being fed to animals in the affluent nations could, if properly distributed, end both hunger and malnutrition throughout the world.
Unfortunately, the world is moving increasingly to animal-based diets as people in nations that have been becoming more affluent, such as China, India, and Japan, move up the food chain. Because of a shift toward meat from grain-fed animals, China shifted in 1995 from a grain exporter to a major grain importer. If this trend continues, it will have very serious implications for future food security.
In view of these facts as well as the many other negative effects of animal-based agriculture, it is scandalous that U.S. meat conglomerates, aided by the World bank and other international financial institutions, are promoting food policies and trade agreements that would double world production and consumption of meat and other animal food products in the next 20 years. Most of this expansion would take place in less developed nations, through massive factory farming operations similar to these currently being used in the developed world. This would have very severe consequences for the poor countries and worldwide: more hunger, more poverty, more pollution, more animal suffering, less self-determination for the people in low-income nations, and less water for everyone.
Hence, I urge you to use the important World Food Summit to help promote a shift toward plant-centered diets.
Very truly yours,
Richard H. Schwartz, Ph.D.

Here is another letter providing a vital perspective on 3 keys issues: The Human Health - The Environment - The Animal Cruelty
Dear FAO,
In light of the upcoming World Food Conference, We would like to urge you please greatly promote "PLANT FOODS" in all countries for the sake of the Human Health, the Environment, and the Animal Welfare. Please replace the meat with much healthier "SOY".
The global trend in meat consumption is rising rapidly as the third world country is catching up the western lifestyle and its eating habit as well as its associated most popular western deadly diseases, Heart diseases, Cancers, Diabetes, Strokes, Obesity. The United States is leading the world meat stampede. The U.S. government has been exerting great efforts to export the meat, dairy and poultry to numerous countries. (see Important Reference #1)
The meat, dairy and poultry industries have enormous power, money and lobby in the United States Congress, the U.S. Government, the U.S. media as well as some of the biggest health organizations in the U.S., despite more than one million of Americans each year died from the above popular chronic degenerative diseases due to high saturated fat and high cholesterol primarily from animals sources foods. (see Important References #2)
Economic colonialism imposed on developing countries by transnational meat conglomerates. Several US meat companies are growing into transnational conglomerates by acquiring domestic and foreign firms and by pushing policies and trade agreements that would vastly expand their production capacity and markets in developing countries. Most of this expansion would involve massive, cruel "factory farming" operations that would eventually breed, raise, and slaughter as many as 100 billion animals per year in the world. Such operations would also devastate the local food supplies, environmental resources, public health, and economic infrastructures.
Livestock industry projects a 65% and 87% expansion in worldwide production and consumption of meat and milk by the year 2020, mostly in developing countries.
We would like to briefly divide the enormous ill impacts from the meat, dairy and poultry industries into three aspects :
A: The Human Health
B: The Environment
C: The Animal Cruelty
A: THE HUMAN HEALTH :
1.37 million in 1998, or 58%, of all U.S. deaths in 1998, were attributed to diseases for which consumption of animal products represents a substantial risk factor.
The death rate from the heart diseases is the highest and nearly one million Americans died each year in the U.S from such disease. The principal risk factors for Heart diseases are high cholesterol levels. Saturated fats raise cholesterol levels. They are found predominately in animal products .
According to "Cancer Prevention Coalition", Nitrites are widely used as preservatives in meat products. Nitrites combine with amines naturally present in meat to form carcinogenic and is associated with cancer of the oral cavity, urinary bladder, esophagus, stomach and brain.
The breast cancers are so rampant in the United States particularly. Injections of Bovine Growth Hormone(rBGH) causes cows to produce up to 20 percent more "milk" and a ten-fold increase in IGF-1 levels in cows receiving the hormone.IGF-1 maintains the malignancy of human breast cancer cells. (see Important References #3)
However, Fruits , Vegetable, Beans, and Grains protect human health against those deadly western popular diseases. There are numerous documents demonstrated that the Soy contains high protein and is more superior than the meat. Soy can replace the meat and dairy in terms of the nutritional value. Unlike the meat and dairy, soy does not contain the harmful cholesterol.(see Important References #3 and #4)
B: The ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
In U.S., "factory farms" generate more than 130 times the amount of waste that people do. Pollution from livestock farms seriously threatens humans, fish, and ecosystems. Animal waste contains disease-causing pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and fecal coliform, which can be ten to 100 times more concentrated than in human waste.
Of all agricultural land in the U.S., 87 percent (87%) is used to raise animals for food. That is 45 percent of the total land mass in the U.S. More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to create cropland in order to produce human meat-centered diet. Half of all species on earth live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. These forests are being destroyed at the rate of 260 acres a day to produce grazing land for cattle whose flesh is exported to the United States for fast-food hamburgers. At this rate, all the rain forest in Central America will be gone in 40 years.
The meat industry is directly responsible for 85 percent of all soil erosion in the U.S., because so much grain is needed to feed animals being raised for food. In the U.S., animals are fed more than 80 percent of the corn we grow and more than 95 percent of the oats. Raising animals for food is grossly inefficient, because you have to put 20 calories of food into an animal to get just one measly calorie back in the form of "flesh". The world's cattle alone consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people - more than the entire human population on Earth. According to environmental think-tank Worldwatch Institute, "The easiest way to reduce grain consumption is to lower the intake of meat and milk, grain-intensive foods. Roughly 2 of every 5 tons of grain produced in the world are fed to livestock, poultry, or fish; decreasing consumption of these products, especially of beef, could free up massive quantities of grain and reduce pressure on land." (see Important Reference #5)
C: ANIMAL CRUELTY in Factory Farms and Slaughterhouses:
Nearly ten billion sentient farm animals are killed in the United States alone each year for "Food". The vast majority are raised in intensive- confinement systems (factory farms), in which the greatest possible number of animals are raised in the smallest possible space and at the lowest possible cost to maximize productivity and profits. These animals are treated as mere commodities rather than social, intelligent creatures who are capable of great suffering and emotional stress.
The Humane Slaughter Act (HSA) in the US, a law passed in 1958 to ensure that animals at federally inspected slaughterhouses are handled humanely, is not being enforced by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Dave Carney, an USDA meat Inspector for nearly two decades in both red meat and poultry plants and was Chairman of the National Joint Council of Food Inspection Locals, signed Affidavits and stated in 1998 that:
"There is problem with enforcing Humane Slaughter Act. That's because these large slaughtering operations are primarily concerned with productivity and profits. They are not even killing animals. They are "disassembling" them. To keep production line moving fast, uncooperative animals are beaten, they have prods poked in their faces and up their rectums, they have bones broken and eyeballs poked out...... Some animals are simply beaten to death... Some even reach various stages of the slaughtering process alive. They have their hooves cut off, parts of their bung and their cavities opened .... The inspectors are required to enforce humane regulations on 'paper' only. The Inspectors I talk to are from all over the country, it is an everyday occurrence clear across the United States. It occurs in swine. It occurs in beef. It occurs in calves. Sheep. All species ! The Humane Slaughter Act is a regulation on paper only. It is not being enforced.". (see Important References #7)
Based on the above enormous documents and ill impacts on the Human health, the Environment, and the Animal Cruelty from those animal industries, We are urging you please do all you can to promote "PLANT" foods worldwide. Please educate the world the benefits and importance of the Fruits, Vegetables, Beans and Grains.
Please phase out the meat eating habit in the world.
Thanks so much for your kindness, compassion, and urgent help.
