J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 258 Hi Folks, This is part of a thread from Fido UFO. It has to do with Wackenhut's *connection* to UFO related sites (Area 51/Lockheed-Northrup "Ant Hill") and FEMA. Maybe something here. Included is an article by Harry Martin of the NAPA Valley Sentinel. Harry says that Wackenhut has their _own_ UFO. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AREA:UFO Sat 6 Feb 93 8:54 By: Steve Jones To: All Re: The Napa Secret Installation- Article St: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following article has been reproduced with express permission of it's author, Harry V. Martin, editor and publisher of the Napa Sentinel. He has also given permission to distribute this information to anyone reading it. His primary goal is that the people be informed. Steve Jones- Sacramento UFO Group -------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Harry V. Martin While KVON radio's news department and the "Johnny-come-lately Napa Valley Register wallow in whether or not a telephone tower in Sonoma County has anything to do with increased flight of helicopters in Napa County, the Sentinel has obtained over 200 pages of unclassified and secret documents which outline the purpose of a special communications and government continuity base in the Napa Hills. The documents- which focus on 26 unclassified reports, 1 "for official use" report, and 14 secret reports, relate specifically to continuity of government and emergency telecommunications systems. Participating with the government is [sic] this classified nationwide emergency telecommunications Service for National Security Telecommunications ITT,AT&T,COMSAT, MCII [sic] and TRT. Plans went into motion in 1988 and 1989 to ensure national and international communications and the continuity of government in case of war or disaster. The plan is being implimented throughout the nation, with similar helicopter traffic and construction of facilities. For national security reasons, much work is done in secret. The National Security Telecommunications Advisory Commission reactivated the Commercial Satellite Survivability Task Force to assist the government and recommending secured telecommunications systems that would survive any disaster. The systems are used not only in case of war, but also when disasters such as hurricanes, floods, or earthquakes destroy exsisting commerical telecommunications facilities. The government asked the group for international augmentation from an inter- exchange carrier switch via and international gateway satellite earth station. The foriegn end users identified in the report are senior U.S. civilian and military officials overseas. The problem that existed was that foreign satellites do not operate withthe same type of equipment used in the United States. Satellite earth stations working together in an international link are owned and operated by different companies and agencies. When the INTELSAT is used incompatability is at a minimum, but when CCITT systems are used there are major incompatabilities to be overcome. The construction of new systems is part of a 12-point plan: -That the Government establish a commercial satellite communications survivability program whcih will satisfy National Security requirements. -That the Government establsih a Commercial Satellite Survivability (CSS) Program Office to co-ordinate the program within the Government. -That the CSS Program Office, in conjunction with the planning arm of the NCM, should undertake a program to develop emergency control plans and procedures to assure the capability to coordinate the rstoration of commercial satellite communications systems under emergency conditions. -The development of a capability for communications interoperability at critical earth stations to maintain emergency communications networks. -The development of a capability utilizing the Data Encryption Standard algorithm to protect critical digital communications links if communications protection over commercial satellite systems is required by the Government. -The development of a capability to enhance the survivability of satellite control systems through actions to achieve command link protection. -The development of control interoperability between satellite systems to control the commercial communications satellite asets under emergency conditions. -The development of capabilities which increase physical security of satellite control facilities and communications earth stations. -The CSS Program Office should initiate a study chich would assess the susceptibility of exsisting commercial satellite communications systems to nuclear effects and rpovide recommendations which would establish hardening guidelines for further commercial satellite programs. -Development of a transportable terminal capability to enhance survivability and restoral of critical satellite communications systems. -Enhancement of control survivability through the development of transportable TT&C terminal facilities. -Development of a capability for Ku-band communications interoperability at critcal earth stations to maintain emergency communications networks. Napa is not alone in this area in participation of the program, units exsist through Pac Bell's access tandem in Vallejo and also in Benicia and Santa Rosa. These units can patch in or over disrupted communication ground lines. The main continental United States (CONUS) focuses on the west coast traveling to the east coast and back again. CONUS contour maps show a major segment of that critical beam is located in or near Napa. On Tuesday, the Sentinel published an article outlining the purposes and scope of the local project and it's relationship with the helicopter traffic. In summary, the article stated that the purpose of a secret installation in Napa served by the helicopters was for: -Direct satellite communications. -Continuity of the U.S. Government in case of nuclear attack or other upheaval. -Secure communications links with the outside world in the evnet of a disaster. The helicopter traffic over the last year has been provisioning an elaborate underground complex designed to hold government officials, scientists and other high echelon personnel in the event of an emergency- similar facilities are active all over the United States. The local installation is combining and replacing installations from Benicia to underground railroad tunnels in Ukiah. There is no sinister plot involved [*]. The site was selected because Napa is considered to be safe from nuclear fallout zone. EDITOR'S NOTE: Harry Martin was formerly the editorial director of "Military Electronics Countermeasures","Defense Electronics","Microwave Systems News","International Countermeasures Handbook", and publisher of "Defense Systems Review and Military Communications" (end of article) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * This statement runs contrary to what Harry has told me in private. It is his opinion that they are preparing to take a hit. Think about the implications of this. Napa is only 15 miles from Mare Island, a fairly large U.S. Naval facility. It is only 45 miles from Lawrence-Livermore. If Mare Island took a nuclear hit, the Napa facility would be so radioactive that IMHO, they wouldnt survive (but who am I to know). The point here is that I really don't think that this facility was designed or located to provide safety from a nuclear hit. A political or economic upheaval??? Or a very traumatic public panic??? Now that is much more plausible of a scenerio and IMHO quite possible. The facility is close enough for those whom it was intended for to make it inside in time for the doors to close. I have personally inspected some of the WWII German bunkers that were built in Hamburg and Bremen to protect their submarines. The walls are 30 feet thick, with reinforcement steel every 12 inches. Those bunkers are still there today. Sincerely Steve Jones- Sacramento UFO Group ...

A great deal of what you have stated I am in agreement with. Ironically I have come to my own conclusions in a somewhat indirect way. I have known about the FEMA camps for over a year (in fact Dan Brown and I went down to Oakdale CA looking for the facility that INS and several law enforcement agencies say is there, but we have yet to find it. We are still looking for it.) I have collected a fair amount on the Inslaw/Casolaro/Wackenhut case and until recently didn't make the possible connection to UFO's. I just thought that it was another ultra right wing "we can do anything that we want, the hell with law,morals, ethics or for that matter the law of the land" operation. But knowing how fanatical right wingers are about knowing everything that there is to know, especially when related to keeping an iron fist on folks, it makes sense that they should be in the driver's seat when it comes to UFO knowledge. My logic, which I have expressed several times here on this echo is as follows: 1) If your people are in control of the foundations of economic development within a culture, then what methods would you use to maintain the status quo? 2) Given that you have the power to exercise these economic control mechanisms, what sort of social control mechanisms would be needed to augment this system if there is a clear and present threat to your position of power? As far as I am concerned it is the age old "Who has the Motive and the Methods question?" To me it is highly unlikely that non-extremist elements in our society could have controlled this information for this long. These folks are motivated beyond your normal everyday profit motive. This is a very high stakes power game and they do not intend to loose, even though there is a very good chance that they may be outgunned (if, in fact UFO's are real, which at this point I consider a mute question). Personally I see us in a very similar situation that the North American Indians were in when the European cultures started to move over here. Perhaps we can appreciate the agony that they went through as the very foundations of their culture were threatened? Just a thought. Our present culture has gone through several shockwaves in past history related to influxes of "outside cultures" (i.e. the Irish, the Asians,etc) and I see this as more of the same, but considerably stranger. Down through history, the elements of a particular culture that have been more dramatically effected by this sort of culture shock have been the conservative elements. An analogy-in mechanics, the more capable that a mechanism is of absorbing shock, the more likely that it will survive a self-destruction event. These folks are so tightly screwed together that they tend to go to extremes to maintain control. By this I am talking about the cultural development of extreme belief systems. To an extent, extreme liberals are very similar. In my study of the mystical cults here in Northern California I have found distinctive philosophical patterns. For example, IMHO the folks that make up the Lemurian Brotherhood and the Great White Brotherhood follow along in the very tightly screwed together conservative mold. They have UFO elements within their belief systems, but they are in the form of robed tall human types who are "ascended MASTERS." The masters tell them how to think and how to develop. Now, I do not have a problem with many of the mystical philosophies which encorporate the concepts of guides, who show the way. I do have a problem with dogmatic types that TELL me what I am to believe. I also do not have a problem with those great teachers who are easily recognized as being masters of this environment. IMHO, and these factors have been discussed at length at SUFOG meetings is the useage of belief systems manipulation within the UFO phenomenon to "steer" our culture. As I have pointed out here several times, this is how a shaman fits within a society. He is the driver, the engine so to speak, for change, or the lack of it, within a society. Listen to "Black Elk Speaks" and you will see what I mean. Granted I am not as knowledgeable of these factors as Robin Gober or John Stepanski, but I have received a fair amount of education, as well as personal experience in these elements. Wackenhut, IMHO is a direct offshoot of this type of socio-economic matrix. As I have pointed out, they are, as you have so appropriately pointed out, the "shock troops" of the holders of the torch. Their private army, the useage of the Inslaw software, the useage of AFOSI to contaminate and disinform, the functional useage of the FEMA camps to "cull" and finally their construction of these multi-million dollar underground "digs" as hideaways forms a very logical picture. This picture has "damage control" written all over it. The big problem is that the areas covered by this damage control are very limited indeed.

The general consensus is that they are fraudulent documents to most people who research the topic. I like to cite this particular excerpt in Valle's book, "Revelations" that puts it in perspective. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AREA:UFO Mon 8 Feb 93 0:50 By: Don Allen To: Edward Swaim Re: MJ12, area51, etc. St: Local Sent --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Nobody proved it was fake. I was merely repeating hearsay-- > just as everyone else in the UFO business does... Well, I do know that the consensus is that it's most likely faked but Caped Crusader Stanton Friedman would differ with you . Here's what Jacques Vallee wrote about it in "Revelations" ======================================================================== Excerpt from "Revelations" , by Jacques Vallee from Chapter 2, "Majestic 12" ** Begin excerpt ** ln December 1984 an anonymously mailed package reached Los Angeles television producer Jaime Shandera. In it was a roll of undeveloped film that turned out to contain eight pages of information, evidently from a November 1952 classified document. It included a cover letter addressed to President Eisenhower and mentioned top secret data about the crash of an unidentified flying object at Roswell, New Mexico. Revelation of the existence of these documents by Jaime Shandera, Bill Moore, and Stanton Friedman elicted various reactions among UFO enthusiasts. Most of them said, "We told you so! The proof of the coverup is at hand at last." Others, suspecting that the three researchers might be the targets of a manipulation or a hoax, wisely withheld comment. Skeptics like Phillip Klass went so far as to suggest that Bill Moore had manufactured the documents and mailed them to his friend. Accusations flew back and forth, becoming increasingly technical. Did the font of the typewriter match the machines used at the time? Did the style of the dates correspond to the correct military format, to the personal habits of the alleged official authors, or more prosaically, to one of the suspected perpetrators of a hoax? One of the early believers, ufologist Stanton Friedman, obtained a $16,000 grant from Dr. Bruce Maccabee's Fund for UFO Research to study the matter in depth. Predictably, his conclusion, released in mid-1990, was that the documents were genuine, but he brought no new evidence to prove it. The controversy may never be completely resolved, but it did produce some very interesting facts and some even more fascinating questions. According to Stanton Friedman, there are three primary "MJ-12" texts. The roll of film received by Shandera contained a document entitled "Briefing for President-Elect Eisenhower, " dated November 18, 1952, consisting of eight pages. The last page was a memo under President Truman's signature to Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, dated September 24, 1947. These two items were the extent of the initial "leak." Sensational confirmation of their validity seemed to come to light when a third unsigned document was found in the National Archives. Dated July 14, 1954, it was a memo from Robert Cutler, Eisenhower's Special Assistant for National Security, to General Nathan Twining Air Force Chief of Staff. It read, "The President has decided that the MJ-12 SSP briefing should take place during the already scheduled White House meeting of July 16 rather than following it as previously intended." Cutler did not sign the document, but his name and title are typed at the bottom of the page. The expression "MJ 12" referred to the Majestic Twelve, a group of experts secretly studying UFO evidence. According to Friedman, this document could not have been planted in the National Archives because, "it was in a classified box in a classified vault." This statement only makes sense if we assume that the individual responsible for the planting did not have access to the classified box in question. If MJ-12 is an inside job, designed and executed by a rogue group within the intelligence community-which is the most likely explanation today-then Friedman's argument is obviously flawed. There are other reasons to believe that MJ-12 is a fake. Queried about this particular document, the Archives issued a memorandum, dated July 22, 1987, and signed by Jo Ann Williamson, Chief of the Military Reference Branch, pointing out that "this particular document poses problems" for many different reasons. It does not bear a top secret register number, an official government letter-head or a watermark, it is the only document referring to MJ-12 in the folder in question; a search for other relevant documents has located nothing; and the marking TOP SECRET RESTRICTED INFORMATION was not used during the Eisenhower administration (it only came into use at the National Security Council under Nixon). Furthermore, there are no records of an NSC meeting on July 16, 1954. Robert Cutler was visiting military installations in Europe and North Africa on the day he was supposed to have issued the memorandum. In other words, the National Archives does not believe the memorandum is genuine. This does not mean, of course, that some project called MJ-12 does not or did not, exist. Nor does it resolve the larger issue of the possible existence of aliens, dead or alive. It only deepens the mystery and it raises new questions. Among the new questions is the identity and motivation of the sender. If we are dealing with a genuine Deep Throat, why does he (or she) choose people like Shandera,Moore and Friedman, who are obscure as far as the national media are concerned? Why not select a well-known journalist, a reputable science writer, or an established, credible scientist? It he has decided to work exclusively with, people in the UFO field, he still has a wide choice of targets, including some who have the ability to check up and convince themselves of the genuineness of such documents. Yet our mystery source selected a group that was likeIy to accept the information uncritically, people had already staked a definitive position on the alleged cover-up and would find it very conveniently confirmed by the documents. Predictably, he missed his objective of convincing the nation that M1J-12 was genuine: only a handful of hardcore believers have accepted Friedman's conclusions. This is not the way the Deep Throat of Watergate proceeded. He sought out the most influential of Washington media, selected two aggressive investigative journalists, and encouraged them to ask their own questions (his recommendation to "follow the money!" was a major key). The MJ-12 source operates as the manipulator of a contrived disinformation leak rather than as a real whistleblower with something at stake, or as the deeply concerned person who has decided to expose a genuine scandal once and for all. ** End excerpt ** Don --- FMail 0.92 * Origin: * On Topic?
