    North, Iran-Contra, and the Doomsday Project the Original

    The following is reproduced with permission of the author from its source at: http://japanfocus.org/-Peter_Dale-Scott/3491 Additional links and annotations provided by David Ratcliffe. North, Iran-Contra, and the Doomsday Project: The Original Congressional Cover Up of Continuity- of-Government Planning by Peter Dale Scott The Asia-Pacific Journal Vol 9, Issue 8 No 1 21 February 2011 If ever the constitutional democracy of the United States is overthrown, we now have a better idea of how this is likely to be done. That may be the most important contribution of the recent Iran-contra congressional hearings. —Theodore Draper, “The Rise of the American Junta,” New York Review of Books, October 8, 1987. In 1989 I published the following article, “Northwards without North: Bush, Counterterrorism, and the Continuation of Secret Power.” It is of interest today because of its description of how the Congressional Iran-Contra Committees, in their investigation of Iran-Contra, assembled documentation on what we now know as Continuity of Government (COG) planning, only to suppress or misrepresent this important information in their Report. I was concerned about the committees’ decision to sidestep the larger issues of secret powers and secret wars, little knowing that these secret COG powers, or “Doomsday Project,” would in fact be secretly implemented on September 11, 2011. (One of the two Committee Chairs was Lee Hamilton, later co-chair of the similarly evasive 9/11 Commission Report). Recently I have written about the extraordinary power of the COG network Doomsday planners, or what CNN in 1991 described as a “shadow government…about which you know nothing.”[1] Returning to my 1989 essay, I see the essential but complex overlap between this Doomsday Committee and the Iran-Contra secret “junta” or cabal described by Theodore Draper and Senator Paul Sarbanes within the Reagan-Bush administration.

Naturalists had explored the forests of the north coast region and some, including John Mur, were especially impressed by the extraordinary stand of redwoods alongside the South Fork of the Eel River at bull Creek and the nearby Dyerville Flat. These experts agreed that the coast redwood forest was at its magnificent best far to the north of San Francisco. Some authorities went so far as to say that the Bull Creek and Dyerville Flat area supported the most impressive and spectacular forest in the whole world…. In 1916 and 1917 several developments took place that would eventually have a profound impact on the north coast redwood region in general and the Bull Creek-Dyerville Flat area in particular.
  • POLICY for DOOMSDAY ORDERS in CHAPTER 13 CASES This Sets

    POLICY for DOOMSDAY ORDERS in CHAPTER 13 CASES This Sets

    POLICY FOR DOOMSDAY ORDERS IN CHAPTER 13 CASES This sets forth Judge Kelley’s policy on orders resolving Chapter 13 Trustee Motions to Dismiss (so-called “Doomsday Orders”). Doomsday Orders provide that if the Debtor defaults on a requirement specified in the Order, the Trustee can file an Affidavit of Default (Trustee Grossman) or Certification of Default (Trustee Garcia), and the case will be dismissed. The common defaults on Doomsday Orders include plan payments, filing a modified plan, filing a notice of conversion to Chapter 7, and providing the Trustee with tax returns and paying tax refunds. Depending on the nature of the default, the Order dismissing the case may be held for a brief period for Objections. For cases in which the default is failure to file a notice of conversion by a deadline, Judge Kelley will not wait for the Trustee’s affidavit of default or proposed order. For example, if the Order requires the Debtor to convert to Chapter 7 by February 12, 2014, Judge Kelley’s staff will review the docket on February 13, 2014, and, if no notice of conversion has been filed, an order dismissing the case will be signed and docketed immediately. For cases in which the default is failure to file a modified plan by a deadline, Judge Kelley will wait for the Trustee’s affidavit of default, but will not wait 7 days (or any set period of time) before signing the dismissal order. For example, if the Trustee files an Affidavit of Default on February 14, 2014, stating that the Debtor failed to file a modified feasible plan by February 1, 2014, as required by a Doomsday Order, after reviewing the docket and confirming that the required plan has not been filed, Judge Kelley will sign the order dismissing the case immediately.

    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

    Popular Culture Association - Pulp Studies Area

    H-Announce Popular Culture Association - Pulp Studies Area Announcement published by Jason Ray Carney on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 Type: Conference Date: June 6, 2021 Location: United States Subject Fields: American History / Studies, Cultural History / Studies, Humanities, Literature, Popular Culture Studies POPULAR CULTURE ASSOCIATON -- PULP STUDIES AREA Pulp magazines were a series of mostly English-language, predominantly American, magazines printed on rough pulp paper. They were often illustrated with highly stylized, full-page cover art and numerous line art illustrations of the fictional content. They were sold at a price the working classes could afford, though they were popular with all classes. The earlier magazines, such asAll-Story , were general fiction magazines, though later they diversified and helped solidify many of the genres we are familiar with today, including western, detective, science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, and sports fiction. The first pulp, Argosy, began life as the children’s magazine, The Golden Argosy, dated December 2nd, 1882 and the last of the “original” pulps was Ranch Romances and Adventures, November of 1971. Despite the limited historical range of the pulpwood magazine form, the “pulp aesthetic” continues to influence popular culture today. With this in mind, we are calling for presentations for the National PCA/ACA Conference that discuss the pulps and their legacy. Magazines: Weird Tales, Amazing Stories, Wonder Stories, Fight Stories, All-Story, Argosy, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Spicy Detective, Ranch Romances and Adventures, Oriental Stories/Magic Carpet Magazine, Love Story, Flying Aces, Black Mask, and Unknown, to name a few. Editors and Owners: Street and Smith (Argosy), Farnsworth Wright (Weird Tales), Hugo Gernsback (Amazing Stories), Mencken and Nathan (Black Mask), John Campbell (Astounding).
