By Julianne McKinney August 1995 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Association of National Security Alumni Electronic Surveillance Project P.O. Box 13625 Silver Spring, MD 20911-3625 (301) 608-0143 August 16, 1995 #######Upton ############## ############## Dear Mr. Upton: I appreciated your having sent me the paper, "Silent Weapons..." Has anyone determined whether or not this economic theory was in fact addressed in the September 1980 issue of _Scientific_American_? Actually, the concept of refocused wealth is not all that farfetched. I think we saw a couple of "test runs" on this theory just a few short months ago, when a number of municipalities and major investors began complaining of tremendous losses (and bankruptcy) suffered as a result of investments in "derivatives." What I found even more interesting was the smirky manner in which an ABC commentator observed that nobody seems to understand how derivatives work, and nobody seems to know where all their money disappeared to. He obviously was trying to convey the impression that he knew more about derivatives than he was willing to state. On hearing these reports, my immediate instinct was that derivatives were the work of economic wargames in the bowels of the Pentagon, whose highly sophisticated computer programs were based on the monitoring and manipulation of the international exchange rates. At that time, some 147 separate derivative "wargames" -- or "scenarios," according to Leontief -- were known to exist. How many forms of derivatives exist at this present time is unknown, simply because our controlled media have been told to drop the subject. Curiously, I was asked to comment on this by Stan Solomon, during my last radio interview. I say, "curiously," because I am not an economist, have never pretended to be, and had been brought on air to discuss the abuse of directed-energy systems, not economic misadventures. It was after that interview, incidentally, that derivatives suddenly became a non-word in the media. Apparently no one else wanted to ponder the Pentagon's potential involvement in this area of economics. The "Silent Weapons" paper tends to support my theory regarding the Pentagon's becoming involved in economic "wargaming," particularly on page 2, where is stated, "The simultaneous solution of these equations by a computer...provides a numerical way of calculating possible future states of the economy. The time variable _derivatives_ of that model -- the *manipulation* and feedback automation of the World Economic Model -- produces various options (scenarios) for New Economic World Orders." (_Emphasis_mine_.) Actually, and as noted, Leontief (if real) is not all that farfetched. We are in the early stages of seeing his alleged theories of refocused wealth being implemented -- and not just in the form of derivatives. The lesson learned from the derivatives scam is that angry investors tend to make too much noise. These investors have the advantage because their misappropriated investments were made in good faith, which would thus give them a justifiable basis for demanding a full-scale investigation. (Interestingly, I have heard of no such investigation, which says to me that noisier complainers were probably bought off.) There are better ways of stripping the international populace of vast sums of money under circumstances that invite no outbursts of righteous indignation or threats of a large-scale investigation. Gambling, drugs, consumer fraud, sophisticated philanthropic scams, and arms purchases are amazingly effective as alternative means. The State of Connecticut, for example, is purportedly receiving $77,000,000/week in taxes from gambling revenues, yet Hartford is on the verge of bankruptcy. Where indeed is that money going? Lotteries throughout the country are supposed to be used for improvements in state and municipal facilities and in educational facilities and programs. After 10-15 years of experience with a lottery, Detriot's city planners (for example) are only now beginning top to repair some of the city's main expressways. The city's schools, meanwhile, remain notoriously substandard. Where is *that* money going? Drug addictions are bringing in billions of dollars. Where is *that* money going? CNN just mentioned, a couple of minutes ago, that consumer fraud costs the taxpayer about $44,000,000/year. Where is *that* money going? The most sophisticated and yet amazingly primitive philanthropic scam took place only a few months ago, when major educational, medical, and research institutions lost many millions of dollars to the Foundation for New Era Philanthropy. The money is unrecoverable, and one or two fall guys took the hit. Where did *that* money go? Then we have third world countries selling their souls for arms so they can decimate their and/or their neighbor's populations. Where is *that* money going? And now we have Congress rechanneling all of the taxpayer's money into the Department of Defense, to the exclusion of all else. That money, in turn, is channeled to major contractors who produce products which are of limited use to the average consumer, which in many cases are being used to subjugate large segments of the population on a graduated basis (directed-energy systems), and which will inspire all sorts of foreign governments to sell their nations down the river, as is now happening in Bosnia. And nary a peep from the average taxpayer. And then we have the innovative lone wolves who run centuries-old British banks into the ground from offices in Singapore, by misappropriating billions of dollars which are redirected into that mysterious ether where disappearing funds seem to be going. In sum, many trillions of dollars are being redirected into the hands of a relative few on a gradually-intensified basis, with the average citizen happily helping the process, blithely unaware of what the long-term consequences might be. Leontief's mathematically-based scenarios really aren't necessary at this stage, since tapping the wellspring of human gullibility, greed, and foolishness is proving sufficiently profitable. Regardless, I do anticipate that, at some point during the next few years, all stops will be pulled, the Pentagon's computers will be geared up, and a total derivatives plunder will take place. What we saw previously, as stated, was only a test run. (You can add that to my "homemaker's recipe for a successful Revolution in Military Affairs.") Be that as it may, the nice thing about human nature is that people who have tasted freedom don't adapt all that well to enslavement, as a general rule. A global takeover -- much less, a takeover of this government -- is not going to be easy. Well, on that note, I'd better get back to my packing. (As noted in my correspondence to Gordon Phillips, I am in the process of closing up shop.) Incidentally, I gather from one of your notes that you do in fact have a copy of the _Report_From_Iron_Mountain_. If I am mistaken, let me know (as soon as possible, since I am not leaving a forwarding address), and I will get a complete copy to you. Regards, [original signed] JULIANNE MCKINNEY Director, Electronic Surveillance Project (Addendum) P.S. This is the morning following my having drafted the preceding. Apparently this letter caused some sort of uproar amongst those who have me under 24-hour surveillance. Aside from being kept awake until 4:00 a.m. under very painful circumstances, I was knocked unconscious by directed-energy means and conjointly reduced to a bizarre "convulsive" process which did not quite succeed in producing massive vomiting. A variation on _grand_mal_ seizures, I would say. This is a first. I thought I'd been subjected to the gamut of incredibly painful directed-energy effects these past several years. Apparently not. Suffice to say, it is not a nice experience -- less so considering that I came very close to slamming my head against the sharp corner of a chair when crashing to the ground. Be that as it may, I have to conclude from the assault that my letter has raised some questions which now warrant consideration by the public-at-large, so, do not be surprised to hear that this letter has been circulated. It would appear that the questions in this letter need to be answered. As a courtesy to you, I am censoring the address block and headers on this letter, since I do not have your permission to identify you, specifically, as the source of the "Silent Weapons" report. -------------------------------- "...Covert actions are counterproductive and damaging to the national interest of the United States. They are inimical to the operation of an effective national intelligence system and corruptive of civil liberties, including the functioning of the judiciary and a free press.
