  • 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.

Graphic Arts Center Publishing Co., Portland. Chapter 4. Save the Redwoods! 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 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.
