Bardon, Inc. / Aggregate Industries to Pay $325,000 to Settle Sexual Harassment/Retaliation Suit
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
PRESS RELEASE
10-6-10
EEOC Said Female Technician Subjected to Sexual Comments and Requests, Lewd Acts and Groping, and Fired After Complaining to Management
BALTIMORE – Concrete company Bardon, Inc., trading as Aggregate Industries, Inc., will pay $325,000 and furnish significant remedial relief to settle a sexual harassment and retaliation discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. Aggregate, an internationally owned ready-mix concrete company with operations in the United States and United Kingdom, has corporate offices in Greenbelt, Md.
In its suit, (Civil Action No. 8:08-cv-1883-RWT) filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, the EEOC charged that Aggregate created and maintained a sexually hostile work environment for Ora L. Borrell -- the only female quality control technician employed at the company. The EEOC charged that the incidents of sexual harassment included repeated public urination in her presence, overt and explicit sexual comments and requests, touching and grabbing against her will and other sexually offensive conduct while on the job. Borrell’s managers were aware of the offensive conduct, having witnessed some incidents and through her complaints. Borrell was subsequently fired by the company’s human resources department in retaliation for opposing these discriminatory practices.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits sexual harassment and retaliation for resisting such harassment and complaining about it. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
Concrete supplier indicted in Boston 'Big Dig' scandal wiki
Wednesday, May 10, 2006
Boston's Central Artery and Third Harbor Tunnel Project (CA/T), unofficially known as the Big Dig, plagued by cost overruns and reports of shoddy workmanship, has been hit with yet another scandal as six employees of its primary concrete supplier have been indicted for falsifying records regarding allegedly inferior concrete supplied to the massive highway construction project.
Federal prosecutors alleged in a 135 count indictment that of the 135,000 truckloads of concrete, a "web" of falsified documents were used to cover up a conspiracy where at least 5,000 truckloads — 1.2 percent of the concrete used — did not meet specifications. The company, Aggregate Industries NE Inc. was paid US$105 million for the concrete.
Aggregate said in a statement Thursday that it would cooperate with authorities.
The Big Dig
The fact that the ACP confided in Parsons Brinckerhoff to do the cost study for the third locks is cause for concern
The canal expansion's "Big Dig"
by Miguel Antonio Bernal
The cost estimate for the third set of locks in the Panama Canal expansion project was done by the American construction firm Parsons Brinckerhoff International. This company has had a consulting contract with the ACP since 2002. Recently the contract was renewed for 10 more years, that is, for the entire life of the project --- if the "yes" side wins. It's one of the world's largest and oldest companies. However, lately it has been in the news as the party responsible for the worst transportation construction debacle in US history.
For some 15 years Parsons Brinckerhoff International was, in a consortium with Bechtel, in charge of a traffic tunnel project in the city of Boston, better known as the "Big Dig." This project overshot its budget by 460% --- by $12 billion, so far --- and has been a spectacular failure. A few months ago, shortly after the tunnel system was said to be done and opened for traffic, an immense slab fell down from a tunnel ceiling and smashed a car and its driver. The investigation established that the materials used to hold the slab up were of a quality and price much lower than the company should have used --- what they said they used and what they charged the state for having purportedly bought. It was a fraud turned deadly, and that's only one of many improper practices that US courts found that the company had engaged in.

Employees of Big Dig Contractor Convicted of Fraud
BOSTON, MA—Six former managers of Aggregate Industries N.E., Inc.’s concrete division, the largest asphalt and concrete supply company in New England, were convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States by a jury in U.S. District Court in Boston late yesterday.
Acting United States Attorney Michael K. Loucks; Theodore L. Doherty III, Special Agent in Charge of the New England Regional Office of the United States Department of Transportation, Office of Inspector General; Warren T. Bamford, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Boston Field Division; and Colonel Mark Delaney, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police announced today that ROBERT PROSPERI age 64 of Lynnfield, MA, GREGORY A. STEVENSON, age 53 of Furlong, PA, JOHN J. FARRAR, age 43, of Canterbury, CT, MARC BLAIS, age 36 of Lynn, MA were convicted late yesterday of conspiracy and fraud charges following a three week trial in U.S. District Court in Boston. PROSPERI and STEVENSON were convicted of Conspiracy to Commit Highway Project Fraud and Mail Fraud; Conspiracy to Defraud the Government with Respect to Claims; and Making False Statements in Connection with Highway Projects and Mail Fraud. FARRAR was convicted of Conspiracy to Commit Highway Project Fraud and Mail Fraud and Making False Statements in Connection with Highway Projects and Mail Fraud. BLAIS was convicted of Making False Statements in Connection with Highway Projects and Mail Fraud. Codefendants, KEITH H. THOMAS, age 51 of Billerica, MA and GERARD M. MCNALLY, age 54, of Rockland, MA pled guilty prior to trial on July 8, 2009, to Conspiracy to Commit Highway Project Fraud and Mail Fraud; Conspiracy to Defraud the Government with Respect to Claims; and Making False Statements in Connection with Highway Projects and Mail Fraud.
Between 1996 to 2005 PROSPERI, STEVENSON, MCNALLY, BLAIS, FARRAR and THOMAS were all employed in managerial positions in Aggregate’s concrete division. They were charged with highway project fraud and related offenses for their participation in a scheme to provide concrete to Big Dig projects that did not meet contract specifications, and to conceal the true nature of the concrete through false documentation. Between 1996 and 2005 the defendants delivered approximately 5,000 truckloads of non-specification concrete to the Big Dig. Each truckload comprised approximately ten yards of concrete. This concrete included recycled concrete that was over ninety-minutes old, concrete that had been adulterated with the addition of excess water, and concrete that was not batched pursuant to Big Dig project specifications.
The defendants recycled “leftover concrete,” i.e. concrete that had not been used by other customers, mixed the leftover concrete with Big Dig project concrete, and delivered this adulterated concrete to the Project. The leftover loads of mixed concrete were dubbed “10-9 loads" by the defendants, and did not meet Big Dig project specifications. The defendants concealed this fraud by falsifying concrete batch slips delivered to Big Dig inspectors and/or representatives of the general contractors at the various construction sites. These false batch reports were relied upon by the Government to determine the quality and amount of concrete placed by the general contractors on the project.
Big Dig project specifications required that concrete must be placed or poured within ninety minutes of batching. In most instances involving these “10-9 loads,” the concrete had exceeded the ninety minute time limit. In order to conceal the true age of the concrete, the defendants directed truck drivers and other Aggregate employees to add water, as well as other ingredients, to the “10-9 loads” to make those loads appear to be freshly batched. Big Dig project specifications also prohibited the addition of water to concrete after the concrete had been batched except under tightly controlled circumstances. The defendants also directed that fly ash be eliminated from the concrete mix specifications on the occasions when Aggregate Industries ran short of fly ash. Fly ash is an essential ingredient in concrete that makes the it more durable and prevents the infiltration of water.
The defendants face maximum penalties of 20 years’ incarceration on each of the mail fraud counts, 10 years’ incarceration on the conspiracy to make false claims against the United States, and 5 years’ incarceration on the conspiracy to commit highway project fraud and mail fraud count, as well as on each highway project fraud count. Each count also carries a period of 3 years’ of supervised release and a maximum fine of $250,000 fine. The defendants could also face an alternative fine in excess of $10 million which is twice the loss or, in this case, the amount billed to project contractors by Aggregate pursuant to the fraud.
Aggregate Industries N.E., Inc pled guilty in July 2007 and agreed to pay $50 million to the federal and state government, to resolve its criminal and civil liabilities in connection with a fraudulent scheme to deliver adulterated concreted to the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (“Big Dig”). The plea and settlement agreements also required Aggregate provide up to $75 million in insurance coverage for potential future structural maintenance costs related to their conduct. The case was worked jointly with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office and included the execution of search warrants obtained by that Office. Evidence obtained in those searches was presented at the federal trial. Acting United States Attorney Michael K. Loucks commented that the joint federal and state collaboration in this investigation was critical to the verdicts achieved.
The case was investigated by the United State Department of Transportation, Office of Inspector General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Massachusetts State Police Assigned to the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office . It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Fred M. Wyshak, Jr., Anthony E. Fuller and Jeffrey M. Cohen of Loucks’ Public Corruption Unit.

Lessons of Boston’s Big Dig
Nicole Gelinas
America’s most ambitious infrastructure project inspired engineering marvels—and colossal mismanagement.
States, cities, and towns across America must spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually to preserve the nation’s infrastructure—the backbone of its private-sector economy—and yet more to build the next generation of roads, bridges, tunnels, and dams. Spending so much money wisely is daunting. The good news: no matter how complex and expensive any future project is, it’s unlikely to be more so than the Big Dig, Massachusetts’s three-decade-long quest to bury and expand the Central Artery, Boston’s major interstate highway, and carve out a new underwater tunnel to Logan Airport.
Conceived in the 1970s and finished, more or less, in 2005, the Big Dig is modern America’s most ambitious urban-infrastructure project, spanning six presidents and seven governors, costing $14.8 billion, and featuring many never-before-done engineering and construction marvels. Long before construction peaked around the turn of the millennium, eating up $100 million a month for three years, the Big Dig was a local legend, spawning dozens of jokes. (Wouldn’t it be cheaper to raise Boston than to bury the highway? Congressman Barney Frank asked.) Later, when fewer people viewed the Dig whimsically, it was the setting of a 2002 murder-mystery novel. And last year, after falling concrete panels in a Big Dig tunnel that had been open for three years killed a 38-year-old car passenger, the project became a reminder that infrastructure failure can exact a cruel price.

EGG Gets $181.3M to Close CAMDS at Deseret Chemical Depot
28-Mar-2010 14:17 EDT
Chemical weapons disposal
(click to view full)EG&G Defense Materials, a division of URS Corp., in Tooele, UT received a $181.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for Phase 2 chemical agent munitions disposal system (CAMDS) closure as well as CAMDS & Deseret Chemical Depot secondary waste and nerve gas tabun (GA)/Lewisite disposal.
The US Army’s CAMDS, located at Deseret Chemical Depot, ceased chemical munitions disposal in 2005. Initial closure activities were carried out by the Tennessee Valley Authority, who was replaced by private contractor EG&G Defense Materials.
The closure process is currently in phase II, with equipment already removed from the buildings. More detailed closure plans are being written for CAMDS and final closure is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2012…
According to a report by the National Academies, the main challenges associated with CAMDS closure stem from its age, its use as a pilot facility, and the site having many interconnected buildings and common utility services whose closure requires careful staging.
The report also noted that the Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility, also located at the Deseret Chemical Depot, is being shutdown as well. Tooele is still active, and expects to continue to destroy mustard gas and ton containers into 2011. A detailed closure plan is expected in June 2010. EG&G is also the contractor for the Tooele closure.
Prior to closure, the CAMDS tested reverse assembly incineration technology for chemical weapon disposal. Reverse assembly dismantles the munition in the “reverse” order it was manufactured and incinerates the components. Typically, the munition casing, chemical agent, and the energetic material is incinerated separately.
CAMDS dismantled and incinerated chemical munitions using 3 types of incinerator technology for its different components:
•The liquid incinerator (LIC) is used to destroy liquid chemical agents and spent decontamination solutions. The LIC is equipped with a primary and secondary combustion chamber and a pollution abatement system.
•The metal parts furnace (MPF) treats drained projectiles and bulk items contaminated by chemical agents. No explosives are fed to the MPF. The MPF is a direct-fired roller hearth furnace with an afterburner followed by a pollution abatement system.
•The deactivation furnace system (DFS) incinerates rockets and mines, including fuses, explosives, and propellants from other munitions. The DFS includes a rotary kiln, a cyclone, and an afterburner followed by a pollution abatement system.
For the CAMDS closure, EG&G will perform the work in Tooele, UT, with an estimated completion date of July 30/15. Army Contracting CMD-Rock Island Contracting Center in Rock Island, IL manages the contract (DACA97-89-C-0076).
India and the UN
INDIA AND UNITED NATIONS
Introduction
India was among the original members of the United Nations that signed the Declaration by United Nations at Washington on 1 January 1942 and also participated in the historic UN Conference of International Organization at San Francisco from 25 April to 26 June 1945. Independent India viewed its membership at the United Nations as an important guarantee for maintaining international peace and security at the height of the Cold War especially by working towards eliminating the causes of war and conflict. UN membership has also served as an opportunity for leadership in world affairs. India stood at the forefront during the UN's tumultuous years of struggle against colonialism and apartheid, its struggle towards global disarmament and the ending of the arms race, and towards the creation of a more equitable international economic order.
The end of the Cold War coupled with the rapid integration of the global society with its implications for the international system has evolved into the principal challenges for the United Nations in the twenty-first century. India has been undertaking sincere steps to understand as well as to find ways for adapting to these challenges. An integral part of such efforts is collective action and adoption of multilateral approaches in resolving transnational issues under the auspices of the United Nations. In doing so, India and the United Nations are rediscovering each other.
India believes that the United Nations must undertake reforms that will make it truly representative while enhancing its credibility and effectiveness. In particular, the composition of the Security Council needs to change thereby reflecting contemporary realities. The United Nations must play an active role in ensuring inclusive growth within nations, and inclusive globalization across nations. This calls for, in the short-term a new international initiative to bring structural reform in the world’s financial system with more effective regulation and stronger systems of multilateral consultations and surveillance as well as a collaborative and cooperative global effort for successfully overcoming climate change that leads to an outcome that is fair and equitable while recognizing the principle that each citizen of the world has equal entitlement to the global atmospheric space. India also believes that the UN should play an active role in ensuring genuine global counter-terrorism cooperation, in particular, the conclusion of the continuing negotiations on a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism.
As the United Nations strives to find solutions to these issues, India pledges to work, with abiding faith and hope, towards UN's success, and to assume greater responsibilities that the world community expects from it.
URS growth strategy tied to defense work May 11, 2003
By Tom Abate, Chronicle Staff Writer
Israel Ramirez, center, readies a soil sample for URS workers Nate Johnson and Sara Kitzes at Midway Village in San Francisco. Chronicle photo by Jeff ChiuURS Corp., one of San Francisco's overlooked industrial giants, recently raised its profile by announcing that a newly acquired division had won a contract worth up to $600 million to help the Army with troop mobilization, weapons systems training and anti-terror efforts.
The win comes at a time when this engineering firm -- known for designing roads, bridges and airports -- is trying to lessen its dependence on a weak civilian sector by tapping into a flush defense budget.
Headquartered in San Francisco, URS employs 25,000 people, including about 1,200 in the Bay Area.
Last year, as the civilian economy sagged, URS jumped into the race for military and homeland defense dollars by acquiring EG&G Technical Services. The privately held Maryland firm has federal contracts to provide services including fighter pilot training and base maintenance.
A URS spokesman said his firm bought EG&G to take advantage of not only the growth in defense spending but also a governmentwide effort to replace federal workers on the U.S. payroll with contract employees, a trend known as outsourcing.
When it said last month that EG&G had won a military maintenance contract that could be worth $600 million during the next five years, URS joined a handful of politically connected firms that are winning defense dollars at a time when civilian cash is scarce.
URS Vice Chairman Richard Blum, who is married to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D- Calif., controls 23.7 percent of the company's shares through his investment firm, Blum Capital Partners.
While such associations may raise eyebrows in political circles, investors looking at URS must focus on the roller-coaster fortunes of a firm that survived a 1980s accounting scandal to grow through debt-leveraged acquisitions into one of the nation's top engineering firms.
The current history of URS begins in 1987, when the firm was called Thortec International, a name it had adopted during the 1980s to describe its focus on environmental consulting. During its Thortec incarnation, the firm became embroiled in an accounting scandal. For fiscal year 1986, the firm had reported a net income of $8.7 million on revenue of $115.7 million -- figures that were disputed by its audit firm, then Touche Ross.

Dupont's connection to EG&G
EXCERPTS:
1) This little known fact partly underlies an old-industry vs. new industry struggle during recent decades. For example, Rockwell North American (DuPont family dominated - see DuPont control of Conoco and Phillips) reportedly has possession of captured zero point technology, although certain arch conservative DuPonts (some of whom militated for fascism in this country during the 1930's - see the Gen. Smedley Butler story) have bitter competitors, all of them rich and elitist.
DuPonts are typical of "old industry" (Bush supported), and high tech in Silicon Valley is new industry (deeply resentful of Bush's snide cheerleading for Enron as it sacked the California public, causing power outages in Silicon Valley factories). DuPont's have tried to maneuver their part ownership of Boeing into "antigravity" research, and have also tried to corner as much of same in black budget circles as they can. Yet they have bitter competition with vastly more experience in electronics and related technologies. The mainstream public hears little about such subjects.
2) Even George Bush's father works for the Carlyle Group, which manages Nellis Air Force base sites through its EG&G subsidiary. EG&G runs Papoose Dry Lake labs, where whistleblowers (ignored by corporate press) say the greatest concentration of electrogravitic technology is located, hidden in a carefully camouflaged base within a modest sized mountain next to a dry lake bed.
Nellis Air Force Base
EXCERPT:
Nellis Air Force Base Area II
once known as Lake Mead Base, is a separate facility about a mile northeast of the main Nellis air base on the northern outskirts of Las Vegas. Area II is a munitions storage facility for both conventional bombs and "non-conventional" munitions which reportedly include 200 nuclear warheads. Area II is dominated by a high-security triple-fenced compound encompassing several dozen earthen bunkers. Because the fence is well-lit at night, it can be easily seen from Interstate 15 and by passenger jets approaching Las Vegas. A lower security area outside this compound includes support buildings and a federal minimum security prison. Conventional weapons used in military exercises are stored in a separate area from the nuclear compound and are transported to the main Nellis air base via a secured roadway. During the years of nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site, Lake Mead Base was a storage and transfer area for atomic devices to be detonated at the Test Site.
Temple Murders and Brian Quig
EXCERPT:
This affidavit was signed by Hovis Chasteen who was flown in from Nelis Air Force Base just two days before the confiscation of the rifle "to head the mini OSI task force" on the Temple Murders "because of his extensive background with the Thai people.". So in 2 days Hovis Chasteen has his hand on the murder weapon but does not wish to come forward to take credit for this rather brilliant feat.
The rifle was taken away from the teens for more than 3 hours on the 21st of August. Maricopa

•The liquid incinerator (LIC) is used to destroy liquid chemical agents and spent decontamination solutions. The LIC is equipped with a primary and secondary combustion chamber and a pollution abatement system.
•The metal parts furnace (MPF) treats drained projectiles and bulk items contaminated by chemical agents. No explosives are fed to the MPF. The MPF is a direct-fired roller hearth furnace with an afterburner followed by a pollution abatement system.
•The deactivation furnace system (DFS) incinerates rockets and mines, including fuses, explosives, and propellants from other munitions. The DFS includes a rotary kiln, a cyclone, and an afterburner followed by a pollution abatement system.
For the CAMDS closure, EG&G will perform the work in Tooele, UT, with an estimated completion date of July 30/15. Army Contracting CMD-Rock Island Contracting Center in Rock Island, IL manages the contract (DACA97-89-C-0076).
India and the UN
INDIA AND UNITED NATIONS
Introduction
India was among the original members of the United Nations that signed the Declaration by United Nations at Washington on 1 January 1942 and also participated in the historic UN Conference of International Organization at San Francisco from 25 April to 26 June 1945. Independent India viewed its membership at the United Nations as an important guarantee for maintaining international peace and security at the height of the Cold War especially by working towards eliminating the causes of war and conflict. UN membership has also served as an opportunity for leadership in world affairs. India stood at the forefront during the UN's tumultuous years of struggle against colonialism and apartheid, its struggle towards global disarmament and the ending of the arms race, and towards the creation of a more equitable international economic order.
The end of the Cold War coupled with the rapid integration of the global society with its implications for the international system has evolved into the principal challenges for the United Nations in the twenty-first century. India has been undertaking sincere steps to understand as well as to find ways for adapting to these challenges. An integral part of such efforts is collective action and adoption of multilateral approaches in resolving transnational issues under the auspices of the United Nations. In doing so, India and the United Nations are rediscovering each other.
India believes that the United Nations must undertake reforms that will make it truly representative while enhancing its credibility and effectiveness. In particular, the composition of the Security Council needs to change thereby reflecting contemporary realities. The United Nations must play an active role in ensuring inclusive growth within nations, and inclusive globalization across nations. This calls for, in the short-term a new international initiative to bring structural reform in the world’s financial system with more effective regulation and stronger systems of multilateral consultations and surveillance as well as a collaborative and cooperative global effort for successfully overcoming climate change that leads to an outcome that is fair and equitable while recognizing the principle that each citizen of the world has equal entitlement to the global atmospheric space. India also believes that the UN should play an active role in ensuring genuine global counter-terrorism cooperation, in particular, the conclusion of the continuing negotiations on a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism.
As the United Nations strives to find solutions to these issues, India pledges to work, with abiding faith and hope, towards UN's success, and to assume greater responsibilities that the world community expects from it.
URS growth strategy tied to defense work May 11, 2003
By Tom Abate, Chronicle Staff Writer
Israel Ramirez, center, readies a soil sample for URS workers Nate Johnson and Sara Kitzes at Midway Village in San Francisco. Chronicle photo by Jeff ChiuURS Corp., one of San Francisco's overlooked industrial giants, recently raised its profile by announcing that a newly acquired division had won a contract worth up to $600 million to help the Army with troop mobilization, weapons systems training and anti-terror efforts.
The win comes at a time when this engineering firm -- known for designing roads, bridges and airports -- is trying to lessen its dependence on a weak civilian sector by tapping into a flush defense budget.
Headquartered in San Francisco, URS employs 25,000 people, including about 1,200 in the Bay Area.
Last year, as the civilian economy sagged, URS jumped into the race for military and homeland defense dollars by acquiring EG&G Technical Services. The privately held Maryland firm has federal contracts to provide services including fighter pilot training and base maintenance.
A URS spokesman said his firm bought EG&G to take advantage of not only the growth in defense spending but also a governmentwide effort to replace federal workers on the U.S. payroll with contract employees, a trend known as outsourcing.
When it said last month that EG&G had won a military maintenance contract that could be worth $600 million during the next five years, URS joined a handful of politically connected firms that are winning defense dollars at a time when civilian cash is scarce.
URS Vice Chairman Richard Blum, who is married to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D- Calif., controls 23.7 percent of the company's shares through his investment firm, Blum Capital Partners.
While such associations may raise eyebrows in political circles, investors looking at URS must focus on the roller-coaster fortunes of a firm that survived a 1980s accounting scandal to grow through debt-leveraged acquisitions into one of the nation's top engineering firms.
The current history of URS begins in 1987, when the firm was called Thortec International, a name it had adopted during the 1980s to describe its focus on environmental consulting. During its Thortec incarnation, the firm became embroiled in an accounting scandal. For fiscal year 1986, the firm had reported a net income of $8.7 million on revenue of $115.7 million -- figures that were disputed by its audit firm, then Touche Ross.

Dupont's connection to EG&G
EXCERPTS:
1) This little known fact partly underlies an old-industry vs. new industry struggle during recent decades. For example, Rockwell North American (DuPont family dominated - see DuPont control of Conoco and Phillips) reportedly has possession of captured zero point technology, although certain arch conservative DuPonts (some of whom militated for fascism in this country during the 1930's - see the Gen. Smedley Butler story) have bitter competitors, all of them rich and elitist.
DuPonts are typical of "old industry" (Bush supported), and high tech in Silicon Valley is new industry (deeply resentful of Bush's snide cheerleading for Enron as it sacked the California public, causing power outages in Silicon Valley factories). DuPont's have tried to maneuver their part ownership of Boeing into "antigravity" research, and have also tried to corner as much of same in black budget circles as they can. Yet they have bitter competition with vastly more experience in electronics and related technologies. The mainstream public hears little about such subjects.
2) Even George Bush's father works for the Carlyle Group, which manages Nellis Air Force base sites through its EG&G subsidiary. EG&G runs Papoose Dry Lake labs, where whistleblowers (ignored by corporate press) say the greatest concentration of electrogravitic technology is located, hidden in a carefully camouflaged base within a modest sized mountain next to a dry lake bed.
Nellis Air Force Base
EXCERPT:
Nellis Air Force Base Area II
once known as Lake Mead Base, is a separate facility about a mile northeast of the main Nellis air base on the northern outskirts of Las Vegas. Area II is a munitions storage facility for both conventional bombs and "non-conventional" munitions which reportedly include 200 nuclear warheads. Area II is dominated by a high-security triple-fenced compound encompassing several dozen earthen bunkers. Because the fence is well-lit at night, it can be easily seen from Interstate 15 and by passenger jets approaching Las Vegas. A lower security area outside this compound includes support buildings and a federal minimum security prison. Conventional weapons used in military exercises are stored in a separate area from the nuclear compound and are transported to the main Nellis air base via a secured roadway. During the years of nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site, Lake Mead Base was a storage and transfer area for atomic devices to be detonated at the Test Site.
Temple Murders and Brian Quig
EXCERPT:
This affidavit was signed by Hovis Chasteen who was flown in from Nelis Air Force Base just two days before the confiscation of the rifle "to head the mini OSI task force" on the Temple Murders "because of his extensive background with the Thai people.". So in 2 days Hovis Chasteen has his hand on the murder weapon but does not wish to come forward to take credit for this rather brilliant feat.
The rifle was taken away from the teens for more than 3 hours on the 21st of August. Maricopa

Randy Quaid and wife fear star whackers seek refuge
EXCERPT:
VANCOUVER — The actor who portrayed the ne're-do-well cousin Eddie in the National Lampoon's Vacation movies wants asylum in Canada — saying he's afraid of a shadowy group he believes is responsible for killing a number of his Hollywood friends.
Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, were released on cash bonds of $10,000 each after a bizarre appearance Friday at an Immigration and Refugee Board hearing in Vancouver.
There, the pair — who were arrested a day earlier on outstanding U.S. warrants — told an adjudicator that the actor has had eight close friends murdered in recent years, adding they fear that they could be next.
Why is there no mention of Dr. Diamond's association of Mark Champman in wikipedia?
Bernard L. Diamond
EXCERPT:
Bernard L. Diamond M.D. (1912 – 1990) was a Professor of law and psychiatry at the University of California, Berkeley. He is primarily known for his contribution to what is known as forensic psychiatry. He was an expert witness for the defense in many well known trials, most notably the trial of Sirhan Sirhan, the killer of Robert Kennedy. The defense based much of their case on Diamond's testimony that Sirhan was suffering from diminished capacity at the time that he fired the deadly shots.
Due to his significant place in the Sirhan Sirhan trial, he figures prominently into a number of conspiracy theories regarding Robert Kennedy.
Dr. Bernard Diamond people
EXCERPT:
Getting information out of him about his life before Jan. 27 became increasingly difficult. Especially when his "realization" was still new, he refused to speak to the doctors about anything but The Catcher in the Rye. In early February, Dr. Bernard Diamond, a founding member of the American Board of Forensic Psychiatry, came from California to see Chapman at Jonathan Marks's request and discovered just how deep Mark's delusion was. Chapman began by telling him about the likeness of his life and Holden's and the ways his crime was foreshadowed in the book. He listed more than 40 parallels.
Cannabis culture
EXCERPTS:
1) "Yoko Ono and John Lennon spent a weekend at my house in Watsonville... In the evening we smoked a combination of marijuana and opium, sitting on pillows in front of the fireplace, sipping tea, munching cookies. We talked about Mae Brussell's theory that the deaths of musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison had actually been political assassinations because they were role models on the crest of the youth rebellion. 'No, no,' Lennon argued, 'they were already headed in a self-destructive direction.' A few months later, he would remind me of that conversation and add, 'Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident.'"
2) Many famous drug peace writers and artists had Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files established. Early psychonaut and drug peace proponent Aldous Huxley, author of The Doors Of Perception, was one of them. His file had 130 pages.(4) Lenny Bruce, whose cannabis activist credentials have been firmly established (see Cannabis Culture #53), was busted numerous times for obscenity and possession of narcotics. One of his charges was for a prescribed drug, and a later bust was rumored to have been a set up by the police.(5) As with Lennon, Bruce's drug crime record was how Hoover justified his FBI file.(6) Bruce's official cause of death in 1966 was an overdose of morphine. The often-repeated general consensus first articulated by Phil Spector shortly after Bruce's death was, however, that he really died of "an overdose of police."
Peter Tosh and Bob Marley killed by CIA???
EXCERPT:
WHAT CHA GONNA DO?..THE DEATHS OF MARLEY AND TOSH.
by alex constantine
Quote: “Vampires do not come out to bite your neck anymore, instead they cause something destructive to happen that will spill blood., and those invisible vampires will get their meal ” Peter Tosh.
Peter Tosh , like Marley was a widely influential civil rights agitator, and like other black activists before him he was gunned down. He died in 1987 at age 43. He was upset with the treatment of his people. Tosh went to Trench Town to live with an uncle after the aunt he was living with died. It was there he met the young Bob Marley, and taught him to play guitar. They got together with Bunny Wailer and the trio called themselves the Wailin Wailers. They were drastically underpaid. Record producers are notorious for pocketing money. (dem pirates and dem thieves). Peter Tosh always let his feelings be known. He cared more about principles and morals than popularity and fame. He said “they know I do not support POLITRICKS and games, my duty is to unify the people.” He and Marlew had some wrangling and he left the group, and went on his own. Destabalsation tactics were employed, and political violence and sabotage etc. from the CIA with pernicious attempts to wreck the economy of their country.. The new weapon and the new menace was destabilization..
Bob Marley held onto the Wailer name and took on new members. The peoples National Party asked them to play at Smile Jamaica concert. He agreed.
In Nov. a death squad came to Marley’s home and started shooting. They shot bullets into his manager, and one in his wife’s’ Rita’s head , as she tried to get their 5 children out of the house. They survived. The last bullet creased Marley’s breast below his heart and drilled deep into his arm. Marley would sing “Ambush in the night, all guns aiming at me.” This did not stop them performing at the Smile Jamaica concert.. (”War”) “Until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that now hold our brothers, in Angola, in Mozambique, in subhuman bondage, have been toppled utterly destroyed…everywhere is war……
Carl Colby , son of CIA head Wm. Colby, came to the concert and posed as crew and got back stage where he gave a gift to Marley, a pair of boots. Former black Panther Lee Lew-Lee was close to Marley and he thinks Marley’s cancer started with the boots He claims there was a link of copper wire attached to the boots, which hurt his foot when he tried them on and had to be removed..(it might have been treated chemically with a carcinogenic toxin. Marley later broke his toe and found out it was cancerous, it spread. He did not trust main-stream medicine and continued to perform. He knew by 1977 he was dying and compressed a lifetime of music into a few years
