  • FBI Declassified Memo Confirms UFO? Document

    There are so many claims and claims on UFO.

    Roswell incident is one where no body has been able to deny the story emphatically.Area 51?

    Here is a Report.

    You may decide.

     

    Story:

    UFOs or No?
    The Guy Hottel Memo.

     

    Read my posts under Astrophysics.

     

    A single-page March 22, 1950 memo by Guy Hottel, special agent in charge of the Washington Field Office, regarding UFOs is the most viewed document in the FBI Vault, our online repository of public records.

    03/25/13

    It’s the most popular file in the FBI Vault—our high-tech electronic reading room housing various Bureau records released under the Freedom of Information Act. Over the past two years, this file has been viewed nearly a million times. Yet, it is only a single page, relaying an unconfirmed report that the FBI never even followed up on.

     

    The file in question is a memo dated March 22, 1950—63 years ago last week. It was authored by Guy Hottel, then head of our field office in Washington, D.C. (see sidebar below for a brief biography). Like all memos to FBI Headquarters at that time, it was addressed to Director J. Edgar Hoover and recorded and indexed in FBI records.

     

    The subject of the memo was anything but ordinary. It related a story told to one of our agents by a third party who said an Air Force investigator had reported that three “flying saucers” were recovered in New Mexico. The memo provided the following detail:

    “They [the saucers] were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed fliers and test pilots.”

     

     

    After relaying an informant’s claim that the saucers had been found because the government’s “high-powered radar” in the area had interfered with “the controlling mechanism of the saucers,” the memo ends simply by saying that “[n]o further evaluation was attempted” concerning the matter by the FBI agent.

    That might have been the end of this particular story, just another informational dead end in the FBI files. But when we launched the Vault in April 2011, some media outlets noticed the Hottel memo and erroneously reported that the FBI had posted proof of a UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico and the recovery of wreckage and alien corpses. The resulting stories went viral, and traffic to the new Vault soared.

     

    So what’s the real story? A few facts to keep in mind:

     

    First, the Hottel memo isn’t new. It was first released publicly in the late 1970s and had been posted on the FBI website for several years prior to the launch of the Vault.

     

    Second, the Hottel memo is dated nearly three years after the infamous events in Roswell in July 1947. There is no reason to believe the two are connected. The FBI file on Roswell (another popular page) is posted elsewhere on the Vault.

     

    Third, as noted in an earlier story, the FBI has only occasionally been involved in investigating reports of UFOs and extraterrestrials. For a few years after the Roswell incident, Director Hoover did order his agents—at the request of the Air Force—to verify any UFO sightings. That practice ended in July 1950, four months after the Hottel memo, suggesting that our Washington Field Office didn’t think enough of that flying saucer story to look into it.

     

    Finally, the Hottel memo does not prove the existence of UFOs; it is simply a second- or third-hand claim that we never investigated. Some people believe the memo repeats a hoax that was circulating at that time, but the Bureau’s files have no information to verify that theory.

     

    Sorry, no smoking gun on UFOs. The mystery remains…

    An FBI special agent accused of driving on the State Thruway in Eden without wearing pants will see his charges dismissed if he steers clear of additional trouble for the next six months.

    John A. Yervelli Jr., 48, assigned to the Buffalo FBI office, was granted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal Tuesday night in Eden Town Court.

    Yervelli was charged with misdemeanor public lewdness last month by State Police. A truck driver told troopers Yervelli was driving a passenger vehicle about 9 p.m. Dec. 7 when the off-duty FBI agent “pulled up next to his truck, turned on the dome light and displayed that he was not wearing pants, while making lewd gestures,” according to State Police.

    An Erie County prosecutor Wednesday confirmed this week’s court ruling, and said Yervelli is required to complete a psychological counseling program as part of the decision.

  • Rape New Definitions, Women Rape Men

    I have, in my earlier posts , indicates that the definition of ‘Rape’ is very sensitive and highly complicated.

    Is Rape Actual penetration?

    Fondling?

    Kissing any part?

    Or Groping?

    Making Lewd comments?

    Or looking at a woman lecherously?

    Is Rape restricted to the rape women onyl?

    What if a woman, in a change of mind accuses one of Rape to frame him?

    Is rape restricted to the same gender?

    Consensus intercourse-how does not one define it?

    How does one prove that, by taking that into writing?

    These are hazy areas .

    While rape of a woman is a heinous offence, so is the rape of Men.

    It is accepted that in case of Rape the woman’s word is taken as the Truth.

    Need not necessarily be.

    Women Rape Men
    Women Rape Men

    Some efforts are made in the US to redefine rape.

    Here is a story from The New York Times.

    Provides serious food for thought.

    Story:

    Another decade passed before the “earnest resistance requirement,” which asked rape victims to establish that they had sufficiently fought off their assailants even when those assailants held weapons, was expunged.

    Given these standards, rapists typically avoided imprisonment. There were 1,085 arrests for rape made in New York City in 1969; only 18 resulted in convictions.

    The dismantling of various cultural and judicial obstacles to successful prosecution has proceeded well enough that we can now conduct civic debates about rape at the level of semantics. When former Representative Todd Akin of Missouri and other Republican politicians betrayed outrageous ignorance of the meaning and consequences of the crime last year, Americans responded with a virtually uniform voice of reproof and disgust at their language. “Rape is rape” was the meme quickly ignited to counter the lunacy.

    And yet in some sense, the crisp clarity of that phrase is belied, however inadvertently, by a burgeoning progressive movement to broaden the legal understanding of the term. Last year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation changed its definition of “forcible rape” to include other types of sexual attacks when it gathers statistics.

    Currently, there are two proposals in the State Legislature that seek to alter our thinking.

    One, offered by Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas, Democrat of Queens, would re-categorize instances of forced oral and anal “conduct” as rape. They are currently punishable under the penal code as “criminal sexual acts,” and at the first-degree level come with the same strict sentencing guidelines that accompany rape convictions. This would not change if the bill were to become law. The move, in effect, is purely symbolic, intended to offer the victims of certain sexual crimes the permission to see themselves as survivors of rape in the eyes of the court. As Ms. Simotas has said: “No one goes around saying they were criminally sexually acted upon. Rape is a powerful word.”

    This is indisputable, but we might deploy the same reasoning to argue that the power it levies, despite our best efforts, is stigmatizing and that our use of the word ought to be ratcheted down rather than up. As it happens, various states have eliminated the term rape from criminal codes in favor of more clinical language.

    “Some of the newspapers mentioned that after I saw the guy masturbating, I didn’t report it. I did. I reported it,” the woman said in an interview outside her apartment on the Upper West Side. “There was a park ranger who came by, and I stopped him immediately and showed him the picture. And I said: ‘Look at this picture. This guy is in the Ramble.’ And the ranger said, ‘Oh, O.K., I’ll look out for him.’ ”

    The rangers, who work for the New York City parks department, have the power to make arrests and issue citations with their primary responsibility being to ensure that people abide by park rules. The ranger walked toward the Ramble, and the woman believed she had done all she was supposed to.

    “I felt that was enough,” she said.

    Vickie Karp, a spokeswoman for the parks department, referred questions about whether the victim approached a ranger and what rangers’ responsibilities in such situations are to the Police Department.

    Women Rape Men.

    Former U.S. Marine James Landrith joined HuffPost Live to tell his story of being raped by a pregnant woman decades ago. As host Mike Sacks points out, female sexual predators are often depicted as objects of teenage fantasy in popular culture, but this ignores the fact that men can be victims of rape by women.

    Earlier this year, the United States government updated its official definition of rape to include any gender of the victim and perpetrator.

  • Companies That Made Money By Wars A List

    I have posted two posts on the subject of Companies making money of war and in some cases. probably in all cases fuel war.

    Now let me the present Companies who are not only making money but indulge in widespread corruption.

    Be it Bofors , Halliburton.

    Halliburton Logo
    Halliburton Logo

    Here is The List.

    Halliburton.

    Halliburton has become the object of several controversies involving the 2003 Iraq War and the company’s ties to former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney retired from the company during the 2000 U.S. presidential election campaign with a severance package worth $36 million.[40] As of 2004, he had received $398,548 in deferred compensation from Halliburton while Vice President.[41] Cheney was chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company from 1995 to 2000 and has received stock options from Halliburton.[42]

    In the run-up to the Iraq war, Halliburton was awarded a $7 billion contract for which ‘unusually’ only Halliburton was allowed to bid.[43]

    Bunnatine Greenhouse, a civil servant with 20 years of contracting experience, had complained to Army officials on numerous occasions that Halliburton had been unlawfully receiving special treatment for work in Iraq, Kuwait and the Balkans. Criminal investigations were opened by the U.S. Justice Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Pentagon’s inspector general.

    In one of Greenhouse’s claims, she said that military auditors caught Halliburton overcharging the Pentagon for fuel deliveries into Iraq. She also complained that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld‘s office took control of every aspect of Halliburton’s $7 billion Iraqi oil/infrastructure contract. After her testimony, Greenhouse was demoted for poor performance.[44] Greenhouse’s attorney, Michael Kohn, stated in The New York Times that “she is being demoted because of her strict adherence to procurement requirements and the Army’s preference to sidestep them when it suits their needs.(wiki)

    n early 2005 CIA officials told the Washington Post that at least 50 percent of its estimated $40 billion budget for that year would go to private contractors, an astonishing figure that suggests that concerns raised about outsourcing intelligence have barely registered at the policymaking levels.

    In 2004 the Orlando Sentinel reported on a case that illustrates what can go wrong: Titan employee Ahmed Fathy Mehalba, an Egyptian translator, was arrested for possessing classified information from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

    Critics say that the abuses at Abu Ghraib are another example of how the lines can get blurred when contractors are involved in intelligence work. CACI provided a total of 36 interrogators in Iraq, including up to 10 at Abu Ghraib at any one time, according to the company. Although neither CACI, Titan or their employees have yet been charged with a crime, a leaked Army investigation implicated CACI employee Stephen Stefanowicz in the abuse of prisoners…

    Veritas capital Fund/Dyn Corp.

    At first blush, a private equity fund (and not, say, Exxon-Mobil) being the number 2 profiteer in the Iraq war might sound strange. However, the cleverly run fund has raked in $1.44 billion through its DynCorp subsidiary. The primary service DynCorp has provided to the war efforts is the training of new Iraqi police forces. Often described as a ‘state within a state‘, the sizable company is headed by Dwight M. Williams, former Chief Security Officer of the upstart U.S. Department of Homeland Security. With this and other close ties to defense agencies, Veritas Capital Fund and DynCorp are well-positioned to capitalize on Iraq even more.

    Washington Group International.

    The Washington Group International has parlayed its expertise the repair, restore, and maintenance of high-output oil fields into $931 million in Iraq-related revenue from 2003-2006. The publicly traded 25,000 employee company’s other specialties include the building and maintenance of schools, military bases, and municipal utilities, such as watering systems. Some have complained that Washington Group’s hefty government payoffs have served primarily to raise its trading price on the New York Stock Exchange. One thing is for sure – with oil prices continuing to rise, there will be no shortage of demand for the oil protection services Washington Group International brings to bear.

    Environment Chemical.

    All war zones eventually becomes cluttered with spent ammunition and broken/abandoned weapons, creating a lucrative niche for any company willing to clean it all up. In Iraq, this duty has fallen into the hands of Environmental Chemical. The privately held Burlingame, California company has stockpiled $878 million by the end of fiscal 2006 for munitions disposal, calling upon its “decade of experience planning and conducting UXO removal, investigation, and certification activities.” The company has close ties to several defense agencies and is staffed by graduates of the U.S. Navy’s Explosive Ordinance Schools, as well as the U.S. Army’s Chemical Schools at Anniston.

    Aegis.

    Aegis has done the United Kingdom proud after reeling in a contract to coordinate all of Iraq’sprivate security operations. The Pentagon contract is good for $430 million (incredibly lucrative by any standard) but it has landed Aegis in some hot public relations water. The company’s decision to contribute to Iraq war efforts has lead to a rejected membership application from the International Peace Operations Association. According to The Independent, the influential trade organization does not consider Aegis worthy of inclusion in the “peace and stability industry.” It remains to be seen whether Aegis will continue to be ostracized for participating in the training of Iraqi security forces.

    International American Products.

    Even with all of the blinding innovation and trailblazing advances in military technology, none of it would be very useful without electricity. Running electrical wiring in hostile war zones is dicey business, but International American Products has stuck their neck out and collected a cool $759 million in just 3 years for its efforts. While avoiding enemy fire, their work has become increasingly dangerous – and yet, critically necessary – as Coalition forces struggle rebuild cities, put down warring forces, and stabilize the chaotic nation. Schools, oils wells, and other public infrastructure have relied on IAP for the electricity needed to operate. With Iraq slowly beginning to stabilize, International American Products is holding out hope that its job will eventually become less treacherous.

  • ‘Not like Pork but Meaty’ Friend Chat to Cannibal Cop

    The New York Cop who planed to kill and cook a woman to eat,is caught in another controversy.

    His friend chatted  with him Online  ‘

    ‘It isn’t quite like pork, but very meaty anyway’: Cannibal cop’s online pal boasts of eating ‘a black woman and white child’ in vile computer chats.(tipggita32.wordpress)

    Story:

    New York planned to kill and eat a woman
    New York planned to kill and eat a woman

    According to court papers, filed in advance of Valle’s February trial on charges that he planned to abduct, rape, torture, cook and eat women, one online contact with the screenname “Moody Blues” told Valle that he had previously eaten “a black woman and a white child.”

    Moodly Blues told Valle, 28, that he looked forward to eating a white woman with him and that he’d love to eat another child. “I also love roasting whole pelvises, mind you only did with the little one so far,” Moody Blues wrote to the six-year NYPD veteran, who responded approvingly.

    Federal prosecutors argue that the online chats with Moody Blues should be used as evidence at trial, according to the New York Post. Prosecutors wrote that the cyber conversations “are highly probative of Valle’s state of mind and of the existence of an actual, and non-fantastical agreement between Valle and the co-conspirator to commit a kidnapping… Indeed , they are no more sensational, depraved and disturbing than the related portions of the conversations (which Valle concedes are admissible) about shoving a specific and identified woman into an oven, with her legs folded under her, or cooking her over an open fire, slowly, to prolong her suffering,”

    Valle is charged with plotting to commit torturous acts with at least three co-conspirators. As the Post noted, “one of his three alleged co-conspirators, Michael Van Hise of Hamilton, N.J., was busted earlier this month after initially cooperating with the FBI. Van Hise, 23, is charged with offering to pay Valle $5,000 to kidnap a woman and deliver her to him to be raped and murdered. He was denied bail when online postings emerged of Van Hise stating his desire to rape his young nieces and infant daughter.

    Valle claims that his online discussions were merely fantasy role-play and that he had never and never planned to carry out any acts he appeared to plan online.
