pinnacle nucflash

http://nfttu.blogspot.com/2006/01/pinnacle-nucflash.html To the left: the "football". This is the satchel that follows the US President with him wherever he goes. It contains the "go codes" to launch nuclear strikes. Take any good nuclear Armageddon movie, from Dr. Strangelove, to Fail Safe, to The Sum of All Fears, there.s always a scene in which the erstwhile lightly engaged president is either tendered an urgent note or handed a telephone by his top aide. Cut to a closeup on the president's face. His expression changes immediately, the color drains from his face, followed by a sound-on-sound slash cut that takes the viewer to an underground bunker, deep under a Virginia mountain. There, a collection of grim faced, high-ranking military men work determinedly to avoid a global catastrophe. . . What words are written on that note, what could it say that can make the President go white in an instant? What are the words that the president never wants to see on a note thrust into his hand while he is busy giving a speech? I believe the answer is .PINNACLE/NUCFLASH.. Pinnacle/nucflash is the military communications code word designation that instructs all military communication personnel to stop whatever else they.re doing and transmit the message that immediately, because there's some bad news, really, really bad news that you need to act on right now. There is a set of instructions that describes exactly how information relating to military threats to the USA is designated, prioritized, and delivered. The rules are spelled out in precise military fashion in a document called OPREP-3, the US Military.s written guideline for operational reports relating to important events involving nuclear weapons. .PINNACLE/NUCFLASH. are the flagwords or header that presages an electronic transmission through the U.S. military's command and control structure that reports an actual or possible detonation of a nuclear weapon. Not only that, these code words mean that the explosion was not an accident and the risk of nuclear war is imminent. As one might expect, .PINNACLE/NUCFLASH. has the highest precedence in the OPREP-3 reporting structure. Men and women train for months, years, in order to be able to coolly and efficiently handle the communications that follow an OPREP-3 PINNACLE level flagword. There are several OPREP-3 code word designators with a chilling cold war/Tom Clancy/John Lecarre ring to them. None of these foreshadow good news. I'll write more on those later. Well, going back to the movies mentioned in the first paragraph, do you know of any other nuclear armaggeon movies? Any movie in which the bomb actually went off? I'm making a list. (I like to make lists of movies. Sometime I'll share my list of movies with trebuchets.) posted by Bill Gurstelle at 6:35 AM 45 Comments: * The details of the Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP) are certainly a fascinating area of military protocol. The SIOP, which includes 5 Major Attack Options and 165 Limited Attack Options is the plan that is initialized by the nuclear football. I know that it takes two people from a list in order to order a strike, and that they do so through the STRATCOM headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. Redudant facilities that can serve this purpose include the National Alternative Military Command in Pennsylvania and 'Looking Glass' - a ruggedized 747. What I wonder is what mechanism is used to pass authentication tokens (or whatever control is used) from one person to another in the event that they are killed or incapacitated. I could imagine either an automated system based on some kind of network of dead-man switches or the use of a trusted third party (in which case, I would be interested in knowing their authentication and verification protocols). With regard to films involving nuclear weapons, the non-fiction documentary "Fog of War" is an excellent example. ... -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]

[Clips] Wiretaps Win For W

Hettinga" <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: [Clips] Wiretaps Win For W Reply-To: rah(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/60695.htm> The New York Post WIRETAPS WIN FOR W Dick Morris January 19, 2006 -- DEMOCRATS who criticize President Bush for using warrantless wiretaps to elicit information about potential terrorist activity should be aware that the American people strongly support his decision to do so. Believe it or not, they trust their own government and the president they elected to use the information wisely and for our own protection. The Fox News poll of Jan. 11 asked voters whether the president "should have the power to authorize the National Security Agency to monitor electronic communications of suspected terrorists without getting warrants, even if one end of the communication is in the United States?" By 58 percent to 36 percent, the answer was "yes." Indeed, 42 percent of the nation's Democrats agreed that the president should have this power. The poll also tells us that Americans attribute the absence of terrorist attacks over the past 41/2 years to our government's efforts to protect us. Asked if the fact that there has been no major terror attack since 9/11 was due to "security measures working" or to "no attack having been planned" by terrorists, Americans credited government efforts by 46 percent (to 22 percent for the terrorists, with another 20 percent saying both factors contributed). Other results: Some 61 percent - including a majority of the Democrats - said they'd be willing to surrender some of their own privacy to help prevent terror attacks. Respondents support renewal of the Patriot Act by 57 percent to 31 percent. (Even Democrats only oppose renewal by 40-47.) And those who called attention to the NSA policy of warrant-less wiretaps are called "traitors" by 50 percent of the voters and "whistleblowers" by only 27 percent. Democrats opted for "traitors" by 42 percent to 34 percent. In other words, Ann Coulter represents the Democratic mainstream better than Al Gore on this one! These statistics tell us that Democratic politicians are just hurting themselves by raising and dwelling on the wiretap issue. Americans don't fear giving their government the power to monitor conversations between Americans and foreigners even if no warrant sanctions the intrusion - we're more afraid of al Qaeda than of our own elected officials. No wonder President Bush is willing to let Congress hold hearings about the NSA intercepts and the legal basis that allows them. The more focus this issue gets, the more it helps his administration. This time, liberal bias in the media helps moderates and conservatives - no pol should mind being attacked for doing things that the public approves. Once again, liberals are misreading the public's heavy doubts about the wisdom of the war in Iraq and our ability to win. These are pragmatic concerns, not an embrace of the left's take on national security. In fact, there is a broad and deep consensus when it comes to homeland security, which any politician defies at the risk of losing support. Nor did the NSA wiretaps break the law. The president's inherent power as commander in chief allows them. Warrant-less wiretaps for tax, drug, or even organized crime investigations would clearly be illegal. But to protect our country in the War on Terror, they are extensions of military action and are as legal as any wartime intelligence gathering would be. The fact that there has been no declaration of war is a distinction without a difference. Congress has approved military action and within that approval lies an implicit assumption that the president will use our intelligence services to prevail militarily, on the home front as surely as he does in Iraq and Afghanistan. -- ----------------- R.

Feel & look younger
by Millard Reilly 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

After the age of twenty-one, your body slowly stops releasing an important hormone known as HGH (Human Growth Hormone). The reduction of HGH, which regulates levels of other hormones in the body (including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and melatonin) is directly responsible for many of the most common signs of growing old, such as wrinkles, gray hair, decreased energy, and diminished sexual function. Human Growth Hormone will normally yield the following results: - Boost your immune system - Rejuvenate your body and mind - Feel & look younger - Reduce wrinkles, lose weight, decrease cellulite - Restore your sex drive and vigor - Revitalize your heart, liver, kidneys & lungs - Maintain muscle mass - Refresh memory, mood and mental energy - Sleep soundly and awake rested - Help eliminate stress, fatigue and depression http://bcjmadfghil.moviepresenter.info/?ekfghilxwqowybcjmzhghad

no, keeping a full record of search queries is not evil
by Eugen Leitl 19 Jan '06

...not at all. Not the slightest bit evil. http://blogs.siliconvalley.com/gmsv/2006/01/what_if_we_prom.html What if we promise not to show the records to Karl Rove? If you don't regularly anonymize your Google cookie and purge your personalized search history, now might be a good time to start (then again, in this day and age, why bother?). The Department of Justice on Wednesday asked a federal judge to order Google to comply with a subpoena issued last year for search records stored in its databases. The DOJ argues that the information it has requested, which includes one million random Web addresses and records of all Google searches from a one-week period, is essential to its upcoming defense of the constitutionality of the Child Online Protection Act. Google has so far refused to comply with the subpoena, saying the release of such information would violate the privacy of its users. "Google is not a party to this lawsuit, and the demand for the information is overreaching,'' Nicole Wong, an associate general counsel for Google, told The Mercury News. "[We plan to fight the government's effort] "vigorously.'' Here's hoping the company prevails. The release of such records sets a truly unsettling precedent. And if the goverment's claim that other, unspecified search engines have already agreed to release similar information proves true, we have already lost our footing on a very slippery, very dangerous slope. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
