UPCOMING EXECUTION - PRISONER WILL BE BOILED IN THE CHAIR
by !Dr. Joe Baptista 17 Sep '01

17 Sep '01

URGENT: I just received an urgent message from Mr. Fred Leuchter, who has traveled the nation for many years as a consultant for execution methods. His job is to review and improve the instruments by which the death penalty is imposed in each state. If you are like me, you probably wonder why a person would concentrate his life on instruments of death when he doesn't even believe in the death penalty. I asked Mr. Leuchter that question and he replied that, but since we insist on employing state sanctioned murder, at least we should be as humane as possible about it. He's very concerned about an upcoming electrocution in Ohio. The electric chair there is defective and the death of John Byrd Jr will be exceptionally horrible unless the defects are corrected before the execution. If you have media and authority contacts in Ohio, get this message to them! METHODS OF DEATH Manuals Published by Fred A. Leuchter Associates, Inc. can be viewed on Making the Walls Transparent under Tools of "Corrections" at http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/starke/hmm.html Kay Lee ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ----- Original Message ----- From: fred1 To: Kay Lee Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2001 3:18 PM Subject: Ohio Electric Chair Dear Kay, I have been in touch with Attorney Richard Vickers of the Ohio Public Defenders office in Columbus. He represents John Byrd, Jr. who is about to be electrocuted in a chair with defective electrodes and voltages which are too low. His blood will boil while he is conscious, almost like being burned at the stake in the chair. I have sent him a sworn opinion as to the problems with the chair. In the meanwhile, a legislator has filed emergency legislation to eliminate the chair entirely. He can use all the help he can get. If you can advise your Ohio subscribers to contact their reps and senators to support the legislation it would be helpful. The Attorney is Richard Vickers, Esquire Public Defenders Office Columbus, Ohio 614-466-5394. Fred. p.s. I am back in Boston (Malden) permanently now (moved 2 weeks ago). Fred Leuchter 172 Belmont Street Malden, MA 02148 Phone: Voice. 781-322-0104. Fax. 781-322-2463

C-SPAN on Pentagon Renovation
by Anonymous Coredump 17 Sep '01

17 Sep '01

Plans for the renovation of the Pentagon are being discussed on C-Span right now. Interesting sound-bites. Costs of replacing the Pentagon vs. rebuilding are the current topic. The URL for the project reports a 500 error currently: http://renovation.pentagon.mil/ "The Pentagon is not compliant with fire safety codes; the Pentagon is not compliant with *any* codes." --Lee Evey, Pentagon Renovation Program Manager

Not according to Tim May. He was the one who wrote that he was becoming convinced that Tim McVeigh had done the right thing. "Some innocents died, but hey, war is hell. Broken eggs and all that." Those are his exact words, May 9, 1997. He's also the one that has called for the burning of millions of innocents by nuclear fire. If targeting innocents is evil, what can we say about those who applaud such actions? Doesn't Tim May, by his own words, show himself to be evil by the standards of every civilized human culture?

"Bugged" calling cards?
by Dr. Evil 17 Sep '01

17 Sep '01

The way calling cards in the US work is that the user calls an 800 number and then enters a PIN number and the number to be called. The way 800 numbers work, the 800 number operator (ie, the company that pays for it) gets a list of all the numbers that dialed it, because he's paying. It seems that it should be possible to create a "bugged" calling card. You give this to someone as a "free prize" or whatever and then you get a list of all the numbers he calls to and from using it. Does anyone know if something like this exists, which I can buy? I want to send someone a "present". Thanks
