Well don't forget crop rotation since the hemp is going to deplete the soil if you simply grow three crops a year (which is possible this far south). There is also the issue of water, hemp is a plant that needs lots of water and is very sensitive to light levels/times, tempearture and pH. Hemp also leeches nitrogen quite heavily. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder. Ancient Persian Proverb The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.

Like many born after the Second World War, I took it as a fact that the so-called Holocaust actually happened. I saw pictures of death camps, interviews with survivors, etc. But if it really happened, why are so many countries trying to suppress the evidence that it was all just a CIA-Mossad plot? It seems more likely that the pictures were faked, or were pictures taken of dying Germans in Russian POW camps on the Eastern Front. If They are trying to suppress discussion, maybe there's something to their ideas. If the Germans are suppressing attempts to get at the truth, I suspect the stories are true that the Holocaust was part of Truman's "Big Lie." --Tim [Note: I present this as a line of thinking that is actually often the result of suppression of views. "If They are suppressing it, maybe there's some truth to it." Note also that the views of Zundel and other Holocaust Deniers are not causally related to the deaths of millions of Jews, gypsies, and others in WW II. The damage, if any, is in the "hurt feelings" and "insults" felt by survivors and their relatives. The other danger often cited, that Zundel will recruit a Fourth Reich or somesuch, is no more likely than that Jerry Falwell will recruit a New Crusade, or that J. Random Ranter will do the same.

Fisher�s ORDER of July 22, 1998
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 7/28/98 7:34 AM John Young Morales and I met for lunch yesterday. We formulated our response to Fishers ORDER of July 22, 1998. We will get it out this week. Wayland wants to meet this morning to talk BUSINESS. I attach what I wrote for Wayland's and his Texas A&M buddies SBIR proposal. I am also working on the techie side of the digital FX. I am getting 8051 machines working AGAIN. Thank goodness I wrote a book documenting what we did. I have to study my own book to TRY TO figure out what is going wrong! Our phone conversation when you told me about some SCARY people you met some years ago reminds me of Sandian James Gosler. Sandia transferred me into Robert Ewings division to break electronic locks for the FBI. Gosler was then made Ewings projects boss. It was at this time that Gosler told me that my abilities were being wasted breaking locks for the FBI. Gosler told me he was going to transfer me to an NSA project. I refused. NSA requires signed ones civil liberties away to work on their projects. http://www.jya.com/nsa-sun.htm After I just met Bob Wayland, Wayland told me to keep away from Gosler. Wayland told me - and others too - that one of Goslers female employees invited Gosler to her home after work. Gosler raped her, I was told. Gosler threatened to kill her if she revealed the rape, I was told. My former department manager, Kent Parsons, and Forth advocate told me that he thought that Gosler was one of Sandias true crazies. Gosler is the supervisor to told me When Payne balked, his supervisor said Payne "did not choose his jobs. Rather, Sandia assigns duties to" him. http://www.jya.com/whp1.htm What scares me is that guys like Gosler are working for our government. Lets all hope for settlement before this matter gets WORSE. Later bill WEED KILLER computer interface proposal section 7/27/98 10:11 AM Solution to controlling and collecting data from the WEED KILLER involves interfacing a personal computer running a version of the Windows operating system to the WEED KILLER analog/digital hardware. Windows is not a real-time operating system, therefore microcontroller controller/collector hardware interface must be installed between a Wintel PC and the WEED KILLER hardware. Essence of the Wintel data collector problem is that Windows 3.x or 9x responds to a hardware interrupt usually between 70 to 150 microseconds. In rare occasions the interrupt latency may extend to 1.5 milliseconds or even longer. A microcontroller responds to an interrupt in several microseconds. Wintel hardware controller interface is even more difficult than collection for the reason that the Windows operating system only gives control to an application when Windows decides. In the collection, mode at least a hardware interrupt signals Windows that the application wants control. However, the microcontroller can send the Wintel an interrupt asking the applications code whether there is any message it needs to send the microcontroller. Microcontrollers have specialized timers, serial expansion ports and are, therefore, designed to be interfaced to analog and digital hardware. An 80C32 family microcontroller is proposed for the WEED KILLER application for reasons. 1 The 80C32 will do the job. 2 Multiple vendors of 80C32 guarantee future supply at a competitive price. Current suppliers include Intel, AMD, Winbond, Dallas, Philips, Siemens, OKI, ATMEL, ... 3 High-speed parallel port bi-directional IEEE 1284 enhanced capability port 9 (ecp) communications hardware between an 80C32 and PC is in the final stage of development. 4 IEEE 1284 hardware drivers are supplied with Windows NT. Custom assembler dll drivers are available for 9x and 3.x. 5 A public-domain Forth 8051 operating system hosting a high-level language and interactive assembler with complete source code documentation is available on Internet. http://jya.com/f86/whpf86.htm Hardcover book further documenting 5 is available from Academic Press. http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2 Only a Wintel machine is required for both hardware and software for the WEED KILLER project. Usually a Forth hardware/software development probject on requres a voltmeter, logic probe, and, infrequently, an oscilloscope. Reason is the INTERACTIVE control of the hardware and software from a PC keyboard and diagnostic information easily printed to a PC monitor. Justification for assertion made in the above paragraph comes from Internet. NASA uses Forth extensively for its space programs. http://groucho.gsfc.nasa.gov/forth/ Ballard used polyForth http://av.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=polyforth&z=2&hc=0&hs=0 to locate wrecks of the Titanic, Bismarck, and Yorktown. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/features/98/midway Sun Microsystems workstation boot into Forth then invokes Solaris. http://playground.sun.com/pub/1275/ Adobe Postscript is a version of Forth. http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/language/forth-postscript.html Video game software are written mostly in Forth. The Wintel side of the WEED KILLER project will be most-likely written in a small amount of assembler interface code and Visual Basic. While Forth threaded code software technology is extremely valuable in some settings, it is not in others. Java is a variation of Forth. http://www.mrl.nyu.edu/meyer/jvmref/ Future of Java on Wintel machines is unclear at this time. For example, The hottest items among techies is a browser called Opera. This is a $40 shareware program that in speed and compact size buts both IE and Communicator to shame. It has a slightly different interface from either of the majors - an interface some find refreshing while other find less than useful. As it's shareware, you can try and then buy if you like it. One reason for its speed is that it ignores Java - the Internet's Bandwidth Pig (IBP). The Rumor Mill by Paul Cassel ComputerScene Magazine July 1998 Forth executes code High-level at about 10% the speed of a compiled high-level language. Speed of execution of small applications is not effected by Forths slow execution. Reason is that initial code is written in high-level Forth. Inner loops are then translated into Forth assembler. Speed is maintained with the advantage that data structures are created an maintained in high-level language while the interactive operating system is retained for trouble shooting both hardware and software problem. Hardware cost of building the 80C32 the WEED KILLER boards is estimated at $10k. Hardware design is estimated at 1 month labor at $50/hr for a total of $8k. Software development on the 80C32 side in Forth and Forth assembler, software on the Wintel side in Visual Basic and assembler, documentation, and training is estimated to be 4 months for a total of $32k /\/\/\ end Counterfeiting Wiegand Wire Access Credentials Bill Payne October 16,1996 Abstract Wiegand wire access credentials are easy and inexpensive to counterfeit. Access Control & Security Systems Integration magazine, October 1996 [http://www/securitysolutions.com] published the article, Wiegand technology stands the test of time by PAUL J. BODELL, page 12 Many card and reader manufacturers offer Wiegand (pronounced wee-gand) output. However, only three companies in the world make Wiegand readers. Sensor Engineering of Hamden Conn., holds the patent for Wiegand, and Sensor has licensed Cardkey of Simi Valley, Calif., and Doduco of Pforzheim, Germany, to manufacture Wiegand cards and readers. ... A Wiegand output reader is not the same thing as a Wiegand reader, and it is important to understand the differences. In brief, Wiegand reader use the Wiegand effect to translate card information around the patented Wiegand effect in which a segment of a specially treated wire generates an electronic pulse when subjected to a specific magnetic field. If the pulse is generated when the wire is near a pick-up coil, the pulse can be detected by a circuit. Lining up several rows of wires and passing them by a cold would generate a series of pulses. Lining up two rows of wires - calling on row "zero bits" and the other "one bits" - and passing them by two different coils would generate two series of pulses, or data bits. These data bits can then be interpreted as binary data and used to control other devices. If you seal the coils in a rugged housing with properly placed magnets, and LED and some simple circuitry, you have a Wiegand reader. Carefully laminate the special wires in vinyl, and artwork, and hot-stamp a number on the vinyl, and you have a Wiegand card. IN THE BEGINNING Wiegand was first to introduce to the access control market in the late 1970s. It was immediately successful because it filled the need for durable, secure card and reader technology. Embedded in the cards, Wiegand wires cannot be altered or duplicated. ... Bodell's Last statement is incorrect. Tasks for EASILY counterfeiting Wiegand wire cards are 1 Locate the wires inside the card to read the 0s and 1s. 2 Build an ACCEPTABLE copy of the card. Bodell's clear explanation of the working of a Wiegand card can be visualized zero row | | | one row | | binary 0 1 0 0 1 representation Solutions to Task 1 A X-ray the card B MAGNI VIEW FILM, Mylar film reads magnetic fields ... Edmunds Scientific Company, catalog 16N1, page 205, C33,447 $11.75 is placed over the top of the Wiegand card. COW MAGNET, Cow magnetics allow farmers to trap metal in the stomachs of their cows. Edmunds, page 204, C31,101 $10.75 is placed under the card. Location of the wires is easily seen on the green film. Mark the position of the wires with a pen. Next chop the card vertically using a shear into about 80/1000s paper-match-sized strips. Don't worry about cutting a wire or two. Note that a 0 has the pen mark to the top. A 1 has the pen mark at the bottom. Take a business card and layout the "paper match"-like strips to counterfeit the card number desired. Don't worry about spacing. Wiegand output is self-clocking! Tape the "paper-match - like" strips to the business card. Only the FUNCTION of the card needs to be reproduced! History Breaking electronic locks was done as "work for others" at Sandia National Laboratories beginning in 1992 funded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation/Engineering Research Facility, Quantico, VA. The FBI opined that this work was SECRET/NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION. Details of the consequences of this work are covered in Fired Worker File Lawsuit Against Sandia Specialist Says He Balked When Lab Sought Electronic Picklock Software, Albuquer Journal, Sunday April 25, 1993 State-sanctioned paranoia, EE Times, January 22, 1996 One man's battle, EE Times, March 22, 1994 Damn the torpedoes, EE Times, June 6, 1994 Protecting properly classified info, EE Times, April 11, 1994 DOE to scrutinize fairness in old whistle-blower cases, Albuquerque Tribune, Nov 7 1995 DOE boss accelerates whistle-blower protection, Albuquerque Tribune, March 27, 1996 DOE doesn't plan to compensate 'old' whistle-blowers with money, Albuquerque Tribune September 27, 199

I would need to reread the rather long paper on the various people involved and just how close McCarthy was to a truth he could not prove --didn't make McCarthy any less of a scumbag, though. I read the Alger Hiss portions of the documen- tation rather carefully because of the personal friendship I had with Tony who was a very genuine, refined individual (we were on the Harvard Crimson editorial staff together). I will also check your reference on Verona, but I believe there is more in the open records which ties it down. what is interesting is the number of intelligent individuals who not only believe in the concept of socialism/communism, but were essentially apologists for Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, etc. through the period 1917-1950. it was if the pain of Russia's people was just a catharsis on the road to Utopia --by 1950, the apologia wore rather thin... the guilt of the man who passed the trigger from White Sands is confirmed beyond a doubt by Verona also. > >In any case, the identification is less than certain, and much less >definitive than the Rosenberg data. > granted, but with the outside information, sufficient I believe to raise more than an eyebrow and Alger Hiss certainly should not have been in the position of trust and power that he was. part of the evidence is based on process of elimination --if not Hiss, who was standing at FDR's side in incident or "give-up" time and time again? with or without the McCarthy Red scare, I think the evidence was sufficient to convict, but then and again, I am known to be wrong --as above... __________________________________________________________________________ go not unto usenet for advice, for the inhabitants thereof will say: yes, and no, and maybe, and I don't know, and fuck-off. _________________________________________________________________ attila__
