Possible downtime tonight (Wednesday Feb 6th)

[Elad]

Democratic Underground may be unavailable tonight from around 11pm eastern till 2am eastern. Our ISP is doing network maintenance that may or may not cause service interruptions.

Thanks for your patience!

[no name no slogan]

1. Thanks for the heads-up

and BTW, FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC job last night! No interruptions, no crashes, everything ran smooth as silk. Nice work! :toast:

2. Thank you for the heads-up, my dear Elad...

I will spend my time in severe withdrawal, weeping!

OK, maybe not!

There are plenty of other things for me to do...

I won't miss DU a bit.......

*crosses fingers*

:hi:

3. Thanks for the notice. Probably good for me to go to bed early anyway.

I'm too addicted to this place sometimes.... :D

I KNEW IT!

6. It's the HILLBOTS' fault! No, it's POPEBAMA's fault! No, it's the CHEMTRAILS!!

Related research by Begich and Manning uncovered bizarre schemes. For example, U.S. Air Force documents revealed that a system had been developed for manipulating and disrupting human mental processes through pulsed radio-frequency radiation (the stuff of HAARP) over large geographical areas. The most telling material about this technology came from writings of Zbigniew Brzezinski (former National Security Adviser to U.S. President Carter) and J.F. MacDonald (science adviser to U.S. President Johnson and a Professor of Geophysics at UCLA) as they wrote about use of power-beaming transmitters for geophysical and environmental warfare. The documents showed how these effects might be caused and the negative effects on human health and thinking.

The mental-disruption possibilities for HAARP are the most disturbing. More than 40 pages of the book (with dozens of footnotes) chronicle the work of Harvard professors, military planners, and scientists as they plan and test this use of the electromagnetic technology. For example, one of the papers describing this use was from the International Red Cross in Geneva. It even gave the frequency ranges where these effects could occur-- the same ranges which HAARP is capable of broadcasting.

The following statement was made more than 25 years ago in a book which Brzezinski wrote while a professor at Columbia University:

"Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the brain and human behavior. Geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald-specialist in problems of warfare-says accurately-timed, artificially-excited electronic strokes 'could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power levels over certain regions of the Earth... In this way, one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period...' No matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behavior for national advantages, to some the technology permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades."

8. Wait a minute. It's already been done. They say they have

"a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations in selected regions over an extended period..."

Wouldn't that be the Republican Party?
