Khufu and the chamber of secrets
This month Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass will dispatch his men up the sides of the pyramid seeking clues which, he hopes, will prove whether the so-called "air shafts" from the "Queen's" chamber deep inside this architectural wonder actually reach the outside.
If they do not, says Hawass, it will indicate another mysterious and unknown chamber within the pyramid.

Television ad banned for poking fun at President Bush
A television ad poking fun at President Bush has been banned in Britain -- unless the advertisers get Bush's permission to air it.
The animated ad shows a cartoon image of Bush opening a DVD and then saying "My favorite -- just pop it in the video player."

But he is a moron!
Francoise Ducros, director of communications for Canada's Prime Minister Jean Chretien, said in a private conversation that Mr. Bush was a moron for the way he pushed his obsession over Iraq at a NATO meeting in Prague that had other, important issues to treat. Most informed people on the planet would classify her observation in about the same category as "sugary cereal makes a terrible breakfast," but it is so rare to hear even the slightest truth expressed regarding America's pathetic chief executive that a bit of a flap has arisen.

Employee whose office let hijackers in U.S. gets bonus
The State Department official who was forced to retire because her office allowed most of the September 11 hijackers into the United States has won an "outstanding performance" award of $15,000.
The congressional General Accounting Office said in a report this week that 13 of the 19 hijackers were given visas without ever seeing a U.S. consular official.

Spaceprobe's final secrets remain inaccessible
The secrets of the Galileo spaceprobe's final mission remain locked inside its tape recorder, which may have suffered irreparable damaged during a pass through Jupiter's intense inner radiation belt.
On 5 November, Galileo flew past Jupiter's inner moon Amalthea for the first time. It also passed the planet's inner gossamer dust ring and entered its high-radiation inner magnetosphere.

Bush team eyes star power for energy needs
Scientists convened at the Bush administration's request are drafting a statement that it's feasible within the next 35 years to create, contain and then commercialize what's known as fusion energy (i.e. build your own star and use its energy with much less environmental risk than nuclear power).

Telescope to challenge moon doubters
In an effort to silence claims that the Apollo moon landings were faked, European scientists are to use the world's newest and largest telescope to see whether the spacecraft are still on the lunar surface.
According to Nexus magazine publisher Mr Allen, NASA was forced to send robots to the moon and faked the manned missions because radiation levels in space were lethal to humans.

NASA Breakthrough Method May Lead To Smaller Electronics
NASA scientists have invented a breakthrough biological method to make ultra-small structures that may well be used to produce electronics 10 to 100 times smaller than today's components.
As part of their new method, scientists use modified proteins from 'extremophile' microbes that live in near-boiling, acidic hot springs to grow mesh-like structures so small that an electron microscope is needed to see them.

Interference of white light produces coloured patterns
Interference of white light produces coloured patterns," explains a British physicist, "because the different wavelengths in the light add and subtract differently at different places." He has combined colour theory and wave physics to look more closely than ever before at the calm water - the dark light. They have used a computer model to simulate the interference patterns produced by two light waves. Where peak and trough meet to cancel each other out they see a region of dark light called a phase singularity. "In these special places the phase of the wave is undefined, just as time is undefined at the North Pole," he says. "However, the colours hidden in the darkness can be predicted," he adds, "by magnifying the intensity there, the colours form characteristic and striking patterns. These theoretically predicted colours of dark light have yet to be investigated experimentally but the work predicts many different colour patterns in the dark light.

Two-war doctrine may get tested
Early on, the Bush administration argued against the military strategy that U.S. troops should be able to win two major wars in different regions at the same time. The doctrine was not necessary and had outlived its usefulness in a post-Cold War era, it said.
But as President Bush inches toward a new confrontation with Iraq while continuing the American-led anti-terror war, it's conceivable the United States could end up doing just that -- fighting two wars simultaneously, although hardly in the same way.
As much as Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld criticized the two-war doctrine he inherited, the administration did not outright abandon it.

The new homeland security bill
The Homeland Security Department's actions will largely be exempt from Freedom of Information Act oversight by ordinary citizens and will be subject to a decreased level of congressional oversight, critics say.
Congress has, to a large extent, left it to the Bush administration to take actions it deems necessary. Critics say this is a blank check that could seriously erode civil liberties by opening the door to widespread surveillance, including creation of a centralized databank collecting all available electronic information on individuals. Supporters say tough measures are necessary during tough times. They stress that the administration will not abuse its powers.

Perspective: Really 'Big Brother'
The Defense Department is embarking on a project so invasive of Americans' privacy that it will leave little to the government's imagination. It is designing a domestic computer surveillance system that would give U.S. intelligence agents access to huge databases of personal information on every American, from credit card purchases to medical records. The idea is to scrutinize unrelated information and transactions in an effort to uncover terrorist activity before an attack occurs. But there is no proof that such a system will make us safer. We only know it will lay waste to our privacy.

Stepford Citizen Syndrome: Top Ten Signs Your Neighbor is Brainwashed
Though much of the world is convinced the 2000 election was a coup d'etat, and many believe we're being lied to regarding 9/11, we Americans are unaware of how numb we seem. Not only are we being coerced into World War III, but at this very moment, unnamed souls are secretly locked away, the Army's drafted plans for civilian detention camps and there's a shadow government buzzing beneath our streets. And yet, we continue to ignore the oily elephant in the living room.

Bush to sign Homeland Act Monday
When President Bush signs the Homeland Security Act Monday, he will create a department that will be the largest reorganization in the federal government in 55 years.
Critics of the new Homeland Security Department believe it creates needless overlap, borrowing employees from 22 existing agencies such as the Coast Guard, the Border Patrol, the FBI and the CIA - departments that critics believe should simply be strengthened.

DNA device detects light signals
DNA is famous for its ability to assemble itself into very long strings of code made up of four bases. With a nod to nature's choice of materials, a team of researchers in Italy is tapping the self-assembly talent of one of the bases to form a thin film that produces an electric current when light shines on it.
The researchers have built a device that uses a film of guanosine in place of the inorganic silicon or gallium arsenide semiconductor material usually used in photodiodes. Photodiodes are the light-sensing elements of photodetectors, which are used to convert light pulse signals to electrical signals in communications networks.

Light-Controlled DNA Synthesis - A Feasibility Study
A method capable of generating long, fully experimenter-specified DNA molecules directly in the cell nucleus (or cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells), immediately ready to be incorporated into the genome and transcribed into RNA, would greatly expand the options for the genetic engineer, and accelerate progress in medicine. The linked article gives an outline of a possible protein-engineering solution to this challenge.

For sale to the highest bidder: Britain's secret weapons labs
The government plans to sell a stake in its top secret defence laboratories - responsible for inventing the sort of hardware that would make 007's Q green with envy - to a shadowy American organisation that boasts ex-Presidents and Prime Ministers as special advisers and has invested millions of dollars for the bin Laden family and Saudi royalty.

U.S. soldiers vulnerable? Iraq has know-how for 'dusty' weapons to foil protective gear
WASHINGTON - Iraqi scientists know how to make chemical weapons that can penetrate military protective clothing, and Iraq imported up to 25 metric tons last month of a powder that is a crucial ingredient to such "dusty" weapons.
Iraq told the United Nations the powder was destined for a pharmaceutical company that a former weapons inspector says was ordered by President Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Persian Gulf War to work on chemical and biological weapons.

Remote control brain sensor
Scientists have developed a sensor that can record brainwaves without the need for electrodes to be inserted into the brain or even placed on the scalp.
They believe the new sensor will lead to major advances in the collection and display of electrical information from the brain - and could even be used to control machines in a more effective way than is currently possible.

ID Chip's Controversial Approval
A surprise decision by the Food and Drug Administration permits the use of implantable ID chips in humans, despite an FDA investigator's recent public reservations about the devices.
The FDA sent chip manufacturer Applied Digital Solutions a letter stating that the agency would not regulate the VeriChip if it was used for "security, financial and personal identification or safety applications," ADS said Tuesday.

Chandra Casts Cloud On Alternative Theory :: October 22, 2002
New evidence from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory challenges an alternative theory of gravity that eliminates the need for dark matter. The observation also narrows the field for competing forms of dark matter, the elusive material thought to be the dominant form of matter in the universe.
An observation of the galaxy NGC 720 shows it is enveloped in a slightly flattened, or ellipsoidal cloud of hot gas that has an orientation different from that of the optical image of the galaxy. The flattening is too large to be explained by theories in which stars and gas are assumed to contain most of the mass in the galaxy.

US oil at the heart of Iraq crisis
President Bush's Cabinet agreed in April 2001 that 'Iraq remains a destabilising influence to the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East' and because this is an unacceptable risk to the US 'military intervention' is necessary.
Vice-president Dick Cheney, who chairs the White House Energy Policy Development Group, commissioned a report on 'energy security' from the Baker Institute for Public Policy, a think-tank set up by James Baker, the former US secretary of state under George Bush Snr.

WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers linked to over $4M in farm subsidies
Former WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers, under increasing fire for the $408 million in personal loans he got from the company, also harvested millions in farm subsidies from U.S. taxpayers.
Three farms owned in part by Ebbers or linked to him got more than $4 million in U.S. Department of Agriculture aid from at least 1998 through 2001, say USDA records obtained by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

Sneak attacks in war against women
At a conference in Bangkok last weekend, the US threatened to withdraw its support for a crucial UN family planning agreement. In a spectacularly delayed dummy spit, the US delegation objected to the final declaration of the 1994 UN population conference, which was held in Cairo.
After eight years, the Americans suddenly can't abide certain phrases ("reproductive rights" and "reproductive health services") in the declaration on the grounds they can be interpreted as supporting abortion.

Making a Killing: The Business of War
A new breed of opportunists has come to dominate the global landscape of conflicts since the end of the Cold War. Gone is the superpower ideological divide that once gave a strange sort of order to the world's wars. In its place are entrepreneurs, selling arms or military expertise and support, and companies, whose drilling and mining in some of the hottest spots often prolong conflict and instability. Additionally, the military downsizing that followed the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union flooded the market with surplus arms and trained soldiers looking for a job.

After Iraq, Bush will attack his real target
Iraq is not the main objective for the small but powerful coterie of Pentagon hardliners driving the Bush administration's national security policy. Nor is it for their intellectual and emotional peers in Israel's right-wing Likud party. The real target of the coming war is Iran, which Israel views as its principal and most dangerous enemy. Iraq merely serves as a pretext to whip America into a war frenzy and to justify insertion of large numbers of U.S. troops into Mesopotamia.

Despite concerns, law schools admit military recruiters
They were among the last holdouts against military recruiting on college campuses, law schools protesting the Defense Department's ban on openly gay service members. Yet faced with the threat of losing federal funding, more than a dozen law schools have opened their doors this fall to the Pentagon's Judge Advocate General recruiters and others in the military, handing a significant victory to the Bush administration.

Resolution Clause Could Trigger War
The U.N. resolution demanding that Iraq disarm includes a little-noted provision that could be an early trigger for war. The wording could be interpreted as requiring Iraq to stop its frequent firings on American and British planes enforcing "no-fly" zones over the country's northern and southern sectors.

Scientists claim new system will ID terrorists
Known terrorists or criminals will no longer be able to seek anonymity in a crowd, claims the CSIRO, which has developed computer face recognition technology capable of detecting one particular face among thousands - even if the person is in disguise.
The system uses a video camera to scan the crowd and match faces against a file of electronic photos, alerting security staff should it spot a known terrorist or criminal.

Nigerian woman thanks Miss World contestants
Amina Lawal, a Nigerian single mother sentenced to be stoned to death, today thanked Miss World contestants for their concern about her, but urged them not to boycott the event in Nigeria on her account.
Ms Lawal, 31, was sentenced to death by an Islamic court in May after she gave birth out of wedlock to Wasila, her third child. She lost her first appeal to a higher Sharia court and is awaiting a date for her second.

Star Wars airships
The US Missile Defence Agency has asked the country?s largest military contractors to develop a high-altitude airship that can float at 70,000ft, aiming to have an operational fleet by 2010. The agency, charged with protecting America from ballistic missiles, has given the companies until February to submit designs. Each airship would carry 40ft radars with a sweep of about 750 miles, ringing the US coastline.

US warplanes strike targets in Iraq
US warplanes flying off an aircraft carrier in the Gulf struck targets in southern Iraq, the US military said Monday.
The attack took place on Sunday from fighter jets patrolling the no-fly zone in southern Iraq, Capt Kendall L Card, the commander of the USS Abraham Lincoln, told crew in announcement over the ship's public address system. He did not provide any details of the attack.

Sun's rays to roast Earth as poles flip
Earth's magnetic field - the force that protects us from deadly radiation bursts from outer space - is weakening dramatically.
Gauthier Hulot of the Paris Geophysical Institute has discovered Earth's magnetic field seems to be disappearing most alarmingly near the poles, a clear sign that a pole flip may soon take place.

Odd asteroid much bigger on camera
An asteroid photographed by the passing deep space probe Stardust proved twice as large as expected, according to NASA scientists, who on Tuesday released the first image of the encounter.
Launched in 1999, Stardust should return to Earth in 2006 with samples from comet Wild-2 as well as interstellar dust particles near the asteroid belt. The mission is the first designed to return with materials from beyond the moon.

Simultaneous solar flares intrigue scientists
SUNSPOT, New Mexico (AP) -- Scientists say they have made the unprecedented discovery of solar flares erupting almost simultaneously on opposite sides of the sun.
Simultaneous solar flares have been seen in the past, but never so far apart. Scientists at the observatory are trying to determine whether the eruptions were linked or a coincidence, said solar physicist Don Neidig.

North Magnetic Pole could be leaving Canada
The North Magnetic Pole could soon abandon Canada, migrate north of Alaska and eventually wind up in Russia, according to a Canadian scientist.
The magnetic pole, which has steadily drifted for decades, has picked up its pace in recent years and could exit Canadian territory as soon as 2004, said Larry Newitt of the Geological Survey of Canada.

Global warming opens door to North-West Passage
The fabled North-West Passage - the shortest sea link between Europe and east Asia, across the Arctic Ocean - could be open for business this century.
It would cut 11,000 kilometres off the Europe-Asia route through the Panama Canal, and 19,000 kilometres off the route supertankers must take around Cape Horn, according to the US journal Science yesterday.
The thinning Arctic ice could open the way for exploitation of an estimated 130 billion barrels of oil. But the retreat of the ice also poses a threat to polar bears, walruses and the peoples living within the Arctic Circle.

Blair says terror warnings are coming 'almost daily'
Tony Blair prepared the British public last night for the "pain" of terrorist attacks by al-Qa'ida but warned that the world would only defeat terrorism by political as well as security co-operation.
In the meantime, ministers are considering plans to warn the general public about specific terrorist dangers. One option is a poster campaign at railway stations on what to do in the event of a gas attack.

US warns war on Iraq may start before Christmas
President Bush issued a tough new warning to Saddam Hussein yesterday as administration officials said that a war could begin before the end of the year.
In a series of Veterans' Day memorial services, Mr Bush said he was ready to take his country to war. Unless President Saddam Hussein fully disarmed, "America will lead a coalition to fully disarm him.

Experiment could reveal 'extra dimensions,' exotic forces
In order to go from fundamental physics to applied nanotechnology, you really will have to understand the laws that govern what happens at a very small scale. This research helps to bridge the gap between very fundamental physics and really applied physics.
The discovery of new forces, could, in turn, provide evidence for the existence of additional dimensions beyond the three spatial dimensions of length, width and height.

Bush Bringing Back the Draft?
The 'No Child Left Behind Act', President Bush's sweeping new education law passed earlier this year, has buried deep within the law's 670 pages,a provision requiring public secondary schools to provide military recruiters not only with access to facilities, but also with contact information for every student - or face a cutoff of all federal aid.

Supervolcanoes could trigger global freeze
The threat of climate change caused by human activity could turn out to be a minor problem by comparison with a scarcely acknowledged natural hazard.
Geologists say there is a real risk that sooner or later a supervolcano will erupt with devastating force, sending temperatures plunging on a hemispheric or even global scale.

Gravity Waves Analysis Opens 'Completely New Sense'
In the past, whenever we expanded our band width to a different wavelength region of electromagnetic waves, we found a very different universe. But now we have a completely new kind of wave. It's like we have been used to experiencing the world with our eyes and ears and now we are opening up a completely new sense.

Supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park
This may be very significant to the End Days - fire and brimstone in large quantities. ?In recent years it has been discovered that Yellowstone is one of a few known examples of a supervolcano. These volcanoes erupt only rarely, but with a force at least 1000 times that of ordinary volcanoes.
Try to imagine 1000 volcanoes erupting in the same place at the same time.

Physical and mathematical analysis of Pentagon crash
It is physically impossible for all of the plane to have entered the crash site: this is backed by mathematical proof.
There is no evidence outside the building of wreckage to account for the part of the plane which cannot have entered the crash site.
There is no evidence of identifiable wreckage inside the crash site.
Cremation of the plane was unprecedented in aviation history and physically impossible, especially in the context of the modest damage to the wall.
The hole in the back of the third ring cannot be explained by any means other than a missile.
Fake wreckage has been designed and planted with the express purpose of impersonating the American Airlines colour scheme.
Eyewitness evidence is inconclusive and fabricated eyewitness reports have been presented to try to shore up the official story.
Claims that DNA testing identified 63 of the 64 people on board, are mutually exclusive with claims that the plane was cremated, and with the official line on the WTC victims and the Bali bomb victims.

Physical and mathematical analysis of Pentagon crash
Did AA 77 hit the Pentagon? Eyewitness accounts examined.
It demonstrated that eyewitness accounts do not confirm a large passenger jet hitting the Pentagon. The findings of the article did not demonstrate that the eyewitness reports, when taken in isolation, prove that it didn?t happen. It simply demonstrated that they don?t confirm anything one way or the other. They are confused, lacking in substance, highly contradictory and poorly verified.

Flight 93: Was It Shot Down?
It was, "obviously, a very significant action," Cheney said in an interview. "You're asking American pilots to fire on a commercial airliner full of civilians. On the other hand, you had directly in front of me what had happened to the World Trade Center, and a clear understanding that once the plane was hijacked, it was a weapon."
Within minutes, there was a report that a plane had crashed in southwestern Pennsylvania-what turned out to be United Flight 93, a Boeing 757 that had been hijacked after leaving Newark International Airport. Many of those in the PEOC feared that Cheney's order had brought down a civilian aircraft. Rice demanded that someone check with the Pentagon.
Have a look at the anomalies surrounding the "crash" of Flight 93.

'If Allah doesn’t listen, try Jesus'
Television news in the United States covered a story of the following message handwritten by U.S. military personnel on the side of a bomb about to be dropped on Iraq: "If Allah doesn’t listen, try Jesus." Some of these bombs were dropped on the civilian targets of water treatment and sewage plants, resulting in thousands of unnecessary civilian deaths from infectious disease. UNICEF has estimated that 500,000 children have died from results of this destruction of infrastructure and the economic sanctions. - Khilafah

CIA Behind Moscow Terrorists
A senior writer in the Palestinian Authority's official daily claims that the attack in Moscow by Islamic terrorists was a CIA plot. According to the writer, the US hopes that having the Russians suffer a Muslim terror attack will convince them to vote with the US in the UN in support of attacking Iraq. France, who also has been opposing the US on the coming UN vote, may be next in line to suffer a Muslim terrorist attack initiated by the US, according to the PA daily.

HAARP Defensive Economic Warfare
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a congressionally initiated program jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. ?
The HAARP complex is situated within a 23-acre lot in a relatively isolated region near the town of Gakona, Alaska. It consists of 180 towers, 72 feet in height, forming a "high-power, high frequency phased array radio transmitter" capable of beaming in the 2.5-10 megahertz frequency range, at more than 3 gigawatts of power (3 billion watts).
Military applications of HAARP include long-range ground penetration radar, over the horizon radar. It may also be used as a beam weapon as some of the patents suggest. However, of the 12 main patents applied to HAARP the four following are of great interest to my field of ion research.

Israel Conducts Massive Spying Operation
The FBI believes Israel had advance knowledge about the impending September 11 terrorist attacks and failed to inform the United States.
American Free Press was first to expose the “big secret” that the major media has been suppressing: that 60 Israeli Jews - many of whom are still in the military or intelligence - were taken into custody following the terrorist attacks and being held because the FBI suspects they have material knowledge about the attacks.

Who Knew about WTC attack?
While an Israeli real estate magnate from Australia insured his 99-year lease on the retail space of the World Trade Cen ter against terrorism, one of Israel?s biggest companies pulled out of the north tower just days before Sept. 11.
AFP has learned from a reliable source in the shipping industry that Zim American Israeli Shipping Co., Inc. broke the lease when it vacated the rented offices on the 16th and 17th floors of the north tower of the World Trade Center shortly before the Sept. 11 disaster.

Was the NRO's 9/11 Drill Just a Coincidence?
On 11 September 2001, a key U.S. intelligence agency was running a drill in which a plane hits a government building. While U.S. spy satellites could easily observe what actually happened in New York City and Washington, this 'bizarre coincidence' sent the people who operate America's 'eye in the sky' home.

Vast Israeli Spy Network No 'Urban Myth'
Attorney General John Ashcroft's office said the explosive story of an Israeli spy network of bogus art students operating across the United States (described in AFP on March 18 and March 24) is an 'urban myth', but other law enforcement officials say otherwise.

Odd Coincidence or Conspiracy?
There is unexpected controversy surrounding one of the passengers aboard ill-fated Flight 11 that struck the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.
An internal FAA memorandum written on Sept. 11 referred to a shooting on Flight 11. The report cited a report to the FAA by an American Airlines corporate security officer who said that a flight attendant on Flight 11 had called American during the hijacking and ?informed that a passenger located in seat 10B shot and killed a passenger in seat 9B at 9:20 a.m.? The report stated that the victim in seat 9B was Lewin.

Army's secret 'people zapper' plans
Britain has been involved in secret talks with the United States over the development of so-called non-lethal weapons, including lasers that blind the enemy and microwave systems that cook the skin of human targets.
The Observer has established that British and US military leaders met at the Ministry of Defence HQ in London to discuss the operational benefits of such technology when used as a 'persuasive tool' against people from enemy regimes.
