"It is indeed an ambitious conception, this idea of blueprinting the outlines of a truly worthful society for the future and then politicising societal evolution deliberately and intelligently toward that goal. There are those who regard such ambition as ludicrously impossible. Yet this is the supreme aspiration of social science."
~ Ross L. Finney (1923) - college professor and leading educator, American sociologist
"If it were possible to control the learning of all individuals, in the way both of ideas and of emotional attitudes, as they come on the stage of life, it would be possible to modify the whole complex of our social life, or our civilization, within the comparatively short space of one or two generations."
~ Charles A. Ellwood (1923) - a leading educator and American sociologist of the "interwar period" (about 1918-1941)
"The school is the germ plasm of higher civilization. Teachers are, therefore, in charge of social selection at the source of origins for each new generation; they can introduce at will mutations of their own invention."
~ Ross L. Finney (1930)
"I was giving a number of lectures here a year or tow ago. I avoided the word 'socialism' altogether. I always said, 'cooperation', and my American audiences were delighted with my ideas on cooperation. But it was only socialism under another name! Language is meant to express a thought and I knew if I said 'socialism' you would think communism, and I wanted you to think cooperation. So I preached socialism under the name cooperation, and my audiences liked it."
~ Annie Besant in The Theosophist, February 1930. Leading socialist, Marxist and theosophist of the early 20th century.

IT's Alive! IT's Alive!!!!

This week it was announced that the Department of Homeland Security (or Insecurity, depending on how you want to look at it) has resurrected the highly controversial Information Awareness Office. According to some, this office was killed by Congress in 2003 because it was too blatantly invading the privacy of Americans. As if, not too blatant would have made it OK! Others say IAO went underground for a few years and now has returned.
Whatever the case, this is not a piece of good news. Take a look at the original logo for IAO (it is unclear whether it is still in use, or even has a current logo). Quite interesting to say the least, and I'll let the readers draw their own conclusions regarding it. I will say this much: the Latin phrase on the logo, SCIENTIA EST POTENTIA, means "Knowledge is Power".
IAO had a website at its original creation after 9/11. The website no longer exists, but if you click here, you will see what is purported to be a cached copy of the original site.

American Express Addresses RFID People Tracking Plans
This is from CASPIAN - Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion And Numbering - regarding American Express' plans to use credit cards to track consumers. CASPIAN has done a lot to raise awareness about RFIDs, the so-called REAL ID, and similar spy chips that are being placed into various products.

AMERICAN EXPRESS ADDRESSES RFID PEOPLE TRACKING PLANS
Promises Full Patent Review, Tracking Notice, and Chip-Free Option
The top brass at American Express, chagrined at the discovery of its people tracking plans, met with CASPIAN (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering) last week to discuss the issue. One outcome of the meeting was a promise by American Express to review its entire patent portfolio and ensure that any people-tracking plans be accompanied by language requiring consumer notice and consent.
The meeting was organized after CASPIAN called attention to one of the company's more troublesome patent applications. That patent application, titled "Method and System for Facilitating a Shopping Experience," describes a Minority Report style blueprint for monitoring consumers through RFID-enabled objects, like the American Express Blue Card.
According to the patent, RFID readers called "consumer trackers" would be placed in store shelving to pick up "consumer identification signals" emitted by RFID-embedded objects carried by shoppers. These would be used to identify people, track their movements, and observe their
behavior.
The patent also suggested such people-tracking systems could "be located in a common area of a school, shopping center, bus station or other place of public accommodation."
Allegations of American Express people-tracking blueprints first came to light at a conference sponsored by the Consumer Federation of America in Washington, D.C. last month. There, Dr. Katherine Albrecht, Founder and Director of CASPIAN, revealed the patent pending plans that she and her "Spychips" co-author Liz McIntyre uncovered in their ongoing RFID research.
Soon thereafter, American Express arranged for four of its vice presidents, including the vice presidents of Contactless Payments and Public Affairs, to meet with CASPIAN leaders in a phone conference.
"We are pleased that American Express responded to our concerns," said Albrecht. "It's clear the company is thinking about privacy issues and wants to address them constructively. However, we had hoped that American Express would renounce its people tracking plans altogether and be more sensitive to the fact that placing RFID tags in consumer items, like credit cards, puts consumers at risk for surreptitious tracking by others."
In response to CASPIAN concerns, American Express also promised that it would make a chip-free version of its credit card available to concerned consumers who ask for it.
"Offering a chipless credit card is a positive step and should serve as an example to the rest of the industry," said McIntyre. "Consumers don't like RFID technology. Contrary to American Express ads, most people would rather leave home without it."
The complete text of the American Express people tracking patent application is posted at:
http://www.spychips.com/press-releases/american-express-tracking-patent.html
This press release is also available online at:
http://www.spychips.com/press-releases/american-express-conference.html
=========================================
ABOUT RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a controversial technology that uses tiny microchips to track items from a distance. These RFID microchips have earned the nickname "spychips" because each contains a unique identification number, like a Social Security number for things,
that can be read silently and invisibly by radio waves.
=========================================
ABOUT CASPIAN
CASPIAN (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering) is a grass-roots consumer group fighting retail surveillance schemes since 1999 and irresponsible RFID use since 2002. With thousands of members in all 50 U.S. states and over 30 countries worldwide, CASPIAN seeks to educate consumers about marketing strategies that invade their privacy and encourage privacy-conscious shopping habits across the retail spectrum.
To join or support CASPIAN or to sign up for our mailing list, please see:
http://www.spychips.com/get_involved.html
==========================================
ABOUT THE BOOK
"Spychips" is the winner of the 2006 Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty and has received wide critical acclaim. Authored by recent Harvard graduate Dr. Katherine Albrecht and former bank examiner Liz McIntyre, the book is meticulously researched. "Spychips" draws on patent documents, corporate source materials, conference proceedings, and firsthand interviews to paint a convincing -- and frightening -- picture of the threat posed by RFID.
Despite its hundreds of footnotes and academic-level accuracy, the book remains lively, readable, and hilarious, according to critics, who have called it a "techno-thriller" and "a masterpiece of technocriticism."
"A chilling story about an emerging future in which spychips run amok as Big Brother and Big Shopkeeper invade our privacy in unprecedented ways."
- Chicago Tribune
"Paints a 1984-ish picture of how corporations would like to use RFID tags to keep tabs on you."
- The Associated Press

MUSTANG REPORT # 2
Our Military at War - Part One
THE GOOD, BAD & UGLY OF IT ALL
By Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Marvin, United States Army Special Forces (Retired)
Inasmuch as it is what I also believe to be true, what David Deschesne, Editor and Publisher of the Fort Fairfield Journal of Presque Isle, Maine, states to have been the primary reasons he believes influenced this nation to go to war in the past should be treated as historically important information on which to weigh when considering even the possibility of sending our men and women to war.
With exception of a few remarks regarding WWII, I will devote this part one to what I know to be true based on personal experiential knowledge gained by me in specific situations in combat and in command of certain activities in the Korean war where I served as an Engineer Heavy Equipment Platoon Leader as a Second Lieutenant with the US Army's 185th Combat Engineer Battalion in support of the 1st Marine Division on the western areas north of Seoul.
In Part Two of Mustang Report # 2, I will tell the reader what I know to have been true in the Vietnam War where I commanded Team A-424 in an independent US Army Special Forces operation in South Vietnam having a counterpart Vietnamese Special Forces A Team and six companies of Civilian Irregular Defense Group fighters comprised solely of 792 Buddhist Hoa Haos. I will present documentation and personal corroboration to prove that leaders in our government, from President Johnson, through General Harold K. Johnson to General William Westmoreland and all other officers in senior command positions actually aided the enemy. Yes, they knowingly and in a most heinous and cowardly fashion permitted the enemy sanctuaries where they could kill our forces and our allies from with impunity. I will ask the reader "Where is the truth?" and I will suggest a way they can help to insure that future generations or those serving in this current military force will not have to face what we did in An Phu, South Vietnam in 1966.
I will also discuss what I believe to be true about our invasion of Iraq, our continuing occupation of that nation and our involvement in Afghanistan. I will then pose to the reader possible political/military/industrial planning that is geared to maintaining combat activity for sufficient time and in certain areas that may well be a cleverly developed and perpetrated path to bring about a "One World Order" while purposely excluding actions against three of the greatest perpetrators of human rights abuse - China, Saudi Arabia and North Korea. There will be heaping platefuls of "food for thought" that I pray you digest and ask for wisdom to help redirect the course of this once great nation we call America.
What I do know about World War II leads me to believe that what we did to go to war against Germany and Japan was to save the world from domination by two extremely evil dictators who led the forces of Germany and Japan.against the free world. Would you want to be goose-stepping to the dictates of Adolf Hitler, or would you rather be bowing to the wishes of Emperor Hirohito? The fact that this nation was able to conquer the military might of these two evil despots and yet have the grace to recognize the needs of the common people who had lost so much in the war and who feared virtual slavery in the post war era speaks well for our human nature. We, in fact, did sufficiently of what was right and proper for the very people who had fought and lost a war that their leaders had precipitated, and did so to win their hearts and minds was indeed admirable. As an end result we now enjoy having them as world partners in a joint struggle to bring about a peaceful solution to the many conflicts that now exist.
Is there one of you who reads this and who is an American citizen who would truly rather that Hitler had won WWII? Any Jew would cringe at the thought! Though there were no doubt some unhealthy, unethical and unpatriotic alliances between wealthy persons in the United States and foreign officials of nations that would become our deadly enemies, the overwhelming patriotic and certainly courageous response by persons of all ages and social status allowed this nation to put together a military force second to none and a civilian population dedicated to the support of what was necessary to win that war and maintain a free and democratic Republic here in the "good old USA!"
Korean War: General Douglas MacArthur had the experience, wisdom and judgment to have led our armed forces to victory against North Korea and China if he had been permitted to do so by President Harry Truman. We would not have the situation that presently exists in those same communist nations whose civil rights records are atrocious and whose people, for the most part, are virtual slaves to evil leaders who now are engaged in a military build up that is inadequately reported to the people of this nation. The South Koreans were dependant on our superior military might to defeat their foes who had invaded from the north. They assumed, as most Americans did at the time, that we would lead the way to help them reunite north and south in a democratic nation. Instead they were forced to accept a status quo non-victory stalemate that resulted in their having to defend a mine strewn 38th parallel while their neighbors to the north continue to spend vast amounts of money to develop and build an atomic bomb with which to attack the South Koreans and take their land for a bigger and greater communist nation. Isn't it strange that peace-loving nations continue to pour economic aid into North Korea, even knowing that their governing officials ignore much of the need of their people while spending huge amounts of money in an effort to reach a point where they will one day feel ready to attack the freedom South Koreans now enjoy?
Vietnam: Perhaps the most important reason I am delaying my discussion on the Vietnam War is my desire to give the readers an opportunity to purchase and read my new book: The Victory Edition - Expendable Elite - One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare. You should know and appreciate this fact: Robert A. (Kris) Millegan and I were sued by those whose loyalty to Special Forces, right or wrong, legal or illegal, moral or immoral was steadfast and unwavering to the extent of disavowing their own recorded verbal corroboration of original manuscripts of my book. These men willingly read the draft manuscripts I provided them in 1988 and subsequently provided me, of their own volition, comments, corroboration and gladly detailed information they recalled from their time with me in Team A-424 and asked it be included in the final version - which it was. You might go to our website (www.ExpendableElite.com) where you can listen to the entirety of all the audio tapes presented to the judge and the jury in Charleston, SC that found for Kris Millegan and me. Take the time to listen and you will know why the jury, who had heard them all, voted unanimously in their verdict to the effect that I had not told any untruths in the first edition to my book Expendable Elite - One Soldier's Journey Into Covert Warfare that would have libeled or defamed the plaintiffs.

THE GOOD, BAD & UGLY OF IT ALL
By Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Marvin, United States Army Special Forces (Retired)
Inasmuch as it is what I also believe to be true, what David Deschesne, Editor and Publisher of the Fort Fairfield Journal of Presque Isle, Maine, states to have been the primary reasons he believes influenced this nation to go to war in the past should be treated as historically important information on which to weigh when considering even the possibility of sending our men and women to war.
With exception of a few remarks regarding WWII, I will devote this part one to what I know to be true based on personal experiential knowledge gained by me in specific situations in combat and in command of certain activities in the Korean war where I served as an Engineer Heavy Equipment Platoon Leader as a Second Lieutenant with the US Army's 185th Combat Engineer Battalion in support of the 1st Marine Division on the western areas north of Seoul.
In Part Two of Mustang Report # 2, I will tell the reader what I know to have been true in the Vietnam War where I commanded Team A-424 in an independent US Army Special Forces operation in South Vietnam having a counterpart Vietnamese Special Forces A Team and six companies of Civilian Irregular Defense Group fighters comprised solely of 792 Buddhist Hoa Haos. I will present documentation and personal corroboration to prove that leaders in our government, from President Johnson, through General Harold K. Johnson to General William Westmoreland and all other officers in senior command positions actually aided the enemy. Yes, they knowingly and in a most heinous and cowardly fashion permitted the enemy sanctuaries where they could kill our forces and our allies from with impunity. I will ask the reader "Where is the truth?" and I will suggest a way they can help to insure that future generations or those serving in this current military force will not have to face what we did in An Phu, South Vietnam in 1966.
I will also discuss what I believe to be true about our invasion of Iraq, our continuing occupation of that nation and our involvement in Afghanistan. I will then pose to the reader possible political/military/industrial planning that is geared to maintaining combat activity for sufficient time and in certain areas that may well be a cleverly developed and perpetrated path to bring about a "One World Order" while purposely excluding actions against three of the greatest perpetrators of human rights abuse - China, Saudi Arabia and North Korea. There will be heaping platefuls of "food for thought" that I pray you digest and ask for wisdom to help redirect the course of this once great nation we call America.
What I do know about World War II leads me to believe that what we did to go to war against Germany and Japan was to save the world from domination by two extremely evil dictators who led the forces of Germany and Japan.against the free world. Would you want to be goose-stepping to the dictates of Adolf Hitler, or would you rather be bowing to the wishes of Emperor Hirohito? The fact that this nation was able to conquer the military might of these two evil despots and yet have the grace to recognize the needs of the common people who had lost so much in the war and who feared virtual slavery in the post war era speaks well for our human nature. We, in fact, did sufficiently of what was right and proper for the very people who had fought and lost a war that their leaders had precipitated, and did so to win their hearts and minds was indeed admirable. As an end result we now enjoy having them as world partners in a joint struggle to bring about a peaceful solution to the many conflicts that now exist.
Is there one of you who reads this and who is an American citizen who would truly rather that Hitler had won WWII? Any Jew would cringe at the thought! Though there were no doubt some unhealthy, unethical and unpatriotic alliances between wealthy persons in the United States and foreign officials of nations that would become our deadly enemies, the overwhelming patriotic and certainly courageous response by persons of all ages and social status allowed this nation to put together a military force second to none and a civilian population dedicated to the support of what was necessary to win that war and maintain a free and democratic Republic here in the "good old USA!"

Attention North Carolinians!!
I have taken a lot of flack in the past for being opposed to a Federal amendment that defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. I believe, as the Constitution and Bill of Rights clearly state, that this area belongs to that of the individual states, not the Federal Government. And, rightfully so, many states have now passed amendments that define marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Currently, we are fighting to do the same thing here in North Carolina. If you live in North Carolina, I urge you to write to your state senator and ask him to support S13. The bill was side-lined on Monday and placed in a "dead" committee - it has not met in nearly 6 years - by the president pro tempore of the NC Senate, Marc Basnight. Please also write senator Basnight asking him to have it brought before the floor for a vote.
Earlier this week I emailed my state senator, Phil Berger, and Senator Basnight. Senator Berger is a co-sponsor of the bill and was glad to receive my support. Senator Basnight on the other hand responded with the slick cop-out that liberals normally give: he used the Constitution as his excuse. Liberals typically use the Constitution whenever it meets their agendas, then forget about it the rest of the time. How convenient. Senator Basnight's response was rather lengthy, and I took this as a sign that he is under heavy attack from the voters of the Old North State.
If you do not live in North Carolina, but know those who do, please inform them about this important legislation, and urge them to act now.
Visit NC General Assembly's website for more information and for contacting your NC senators and representatives.

Humor Me
I came across these today (actually, the "Lachlan's Laws - that would be the Scottish answer to the Irish Murphy - I have seen before), and thought I would post them today. It'll give you something to grin about at least.
Editor/RP
Signs You Need A New Lawyer
Just before trial starts he whispers, "The judge is the one with the little hammer, right?"
Just before he says "Your Honor," he makes those little quotation marks in the air with his fingers.
The sign in front of his law office reads "Practicing Law Since 11:25 AM."
Whenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, "Whatever."
He giggles every time he hears the word "briefs."
His flat fee is $2,500 for your case, BUT he will give you double your money back if he wins your case.
The name of his law firm is Goldberg, Goldman, Mandlebaum, and Cohen. His name is Pedro Jesus Sanchez.
New Telephone Greeting
Wouldn't it be pretty amazing, if this caught on, all over the country...?
"GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES"
"Press '1' if you speak English." "Press '2' to disconnect until you can.
Lachlan's Laws
That great Highland philosopher, Lachlan McLachlan, propounded a number of irrefutable laws of life, the universe and everything.
#1- Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
#2- A closed mouth gathers no feet.
#3- The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
#4- The most common cause of hearing loss amongst men is a wife saying she wants to talk to him.
#5- Lachlan's Theorem of the Bath - When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone invariably rings.
#6- The things that come to those who wait will be the things left by those who got there first.
#7- He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
#8- Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
#9- Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer. (I know, some of you will fuss at me about this one. A Christian shouldn't post such things. OK, then. Please, tell me...what are all those men in those boats doing, then? After all, they hardly ever catch any fish.)
#10- Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people look bright until you hear them speak.
#11- When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
#12- When you dial a wrong telephone number, you never get an engaged/busy line.
#13- When women see the first strand of grey hair they think they are going to dye...
#14- At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last and during a critical time in the show.
