In Iraq, our descent into hell, our "Apocalypse Now" moment, has begun. First there was Gitmo, then the global rendition program, then Abu Ghraib, then the pulverizing of Fallujah, and now trigger-happy raids that are filling multitudes of sandy graves with men, women and children.

Nous allons faire une édition spéciale sur le programme de cette grande journée.

En ce qui concerne le 26 Juin 2006, nous allons réaliser une première démonstration publique de la visualisation des Champs ElectroMagnétiques (CEM = EMF) des téléphones mobiles.

En mettant des lunettes spéciales vidéo sur la tête de gens, ils pourront voir directement devant leurs yeux dans deux écrans vidéo le graphe interactif de l'irradiation de leurs téléphones mobiles en fonctinnement ceci grâce à un ordinateur en connexion par fibre optique à une sonde isotropique de mesures reliée a leurs téléphones portables personnels.

Les utilisateurs pourront même marcher un peu pour voir exactement les doses exactes que leurs cerveaux reçoivent en irradiations hyperfréquences micro-ondes pulsées de leur téléphones portables en se déplacent.

Cordialement

Marie Pierre

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has approved plans that designate the elite Special Operations Command, or SOCOM, as the Department of Defense’s lead element for the 'war on terror.' Instead of creating wars with half trillion-dollar price tags and endless streams of roadside bombings and mortar attacks, Green Berets and SEALS will slide in, grab the bad guys, and fly off into the night.
