63. Y2K--Hidden Dangers Of Martial Law And A Police State
Will President Bill Clinton use the y2k computer bug crisis as a pretext to declaremartial law in the USA and usher in a brutal Gestapo police state?
http://www.texemarrs.com/041999/hiddan.htm
Will President Bill Clinton use the Y2K computer bug crisis as a pretext to declare martial law in the U.S.A. and usher in a brutal Gestapo police state? Could the frightening predictions of doom-sayers actually come true? Are our freedoms and liberties as Americans in serious peril?
In this thoroughly documented video, Texe Marrs points to a startling plan by the federal government for mobilization of the National Guard and FEMA in all 50 states. He examines White House executive orders that give the federal government awesome dictatorial powers and also discloses secret preparations by the FBI, BATF, the U.S. Army's "nightstalker" Delta Force unit, and other Federal police state agencies.
You'll also see shocking evidence uncovered proving that the Y2K emergency could well be a pre-planned, contrived crisis. The powerful men behind this incredible plot are unmasked as Texe Marrs lays bare their hidden objectives. This mind-jarring video reveals that there's far more to the Y2K crisis than Americans could ever imagine!

"In a crisis and emergency situation, the free market may not be the best way to distribute resources. ... If there's a point in time where we have to take resources and make a judgment on an emergency basis, we will be prepared to do that." . . . .
Said John Koskinen
, chairman of President Clinton's Y2K council As farfetched as this may seem, the probability of State and Federal Government officials and generals declaring a form of ' martial law' is quite high in 2000. Unlike a bad Hollywood movie or edgy conspiracy plot, however, plans to do so are actually occurring and soberingly real. Given the infrastructure failures and civil disorder that will surely accompany y2k, a state of national emergency as declared by the President and state governors may occur shortly before (or after) 2000. The laws are on the books and militaries around the world are preparing for y2k.

How to Get Started on Y2K Debugging in the Law Office
When it comes to checking for Y2K compliance, now is better than the next century
By Daryl Teshima
Daryl Teshima is the editor-in-chief of Legal Assistant Today and Law Office Computing, two bimonthly magazines published by James Publishing. He can be reached on the Internet at dteshima @netcom.com Some predict that the year 2000 (Y2K) problem will bring disaster. Others label it as a bogeyman in the service of technology consultants. To many lawyers, Y2K appears distant, remote, and trivial compared to the daily demands of judges, opposing counsel, and clients. Besides, most law firms do not employ mainframes-the computers most susceptible to the problem-but instead primarily use recently purchased personal computers and software. What if, however, a fraction of the predicted Y2K problems occur? Then attorneys could have a major and long-lasting office hangover after January 1, 2000. Besides computers and programs, Y2K can affect such office systems as telephones, voice mail, automated security, elevators, and anything else that relies on a microchip. For this reason, the estimated cost of dealing with Y2K in Europe and the United States is now $858 billion. Ignoring Y2K could have catastrophic consequences for a lawyer's practice. Y2K is one deadline that even judges cannot extend. A lawyer can, however, start debugging today. The Date Set Test A dramatic Y2K problem will occur if a computer's clock and operating hardware cannot recognize the correct date after December 31, 1999. Most applications rely on the computer's internal clock for the date and time. For example, if the operating hardware gives erroneous or unreadable date and time information to a calendar and datebook program, it will not work properly. Although most computers sold within the past three years do not have this problem, the average older PC-especially one still running DOS-may.

Y2K and the Law Well, I've got a new job after January first: Expert Witness! The lawyers think that the Year 2000 is the best thing to come along since silicone breast implants. Wouldn't you know the lawyers would make something out of this; hey, "Same shit, different millennium." Kronos is a Massachusetts corporation, and Massachusetts has tons of lawyers, sort of like New Jersey has toxic waste. Why did New Jersey get the toxic waste, and we got the lawyers? 'Cause they got to pick first. I caught a nasty virus from Alyce Moore in our legal department. It was a computer virus, of course, one of those "Melissa" Word macro things. You know, these days, when you get a message from someone, it's like getting a message from everyone they've ever gotten a message from. I told her she's got to start practicing "safe text". But of course, we appreciate lawyers when they're on our side, and I've gotten a great deal of help on Y2K from our Kronos attorneys, John DeLuca and Alyce Moore, and particularly Sally Wallace, who's taught me the art of thinking twice before saying nothing.

What's it about

Was the Y2K bug a con?

Fear is a great motivator

The culture of litigation
What's it about? Recently the author received a letter from his friendly local Council Officer. To make a long story short, I was informed that the roots of a tree in our front yard had allegedly dislodged a section of footpath. And just to make the point in demanding payment to cover the expense, the Council claimed that any injury suffered by a pedestrian as a result of the broken footpath would be the fault of the property owner (myself) and could land my family in court with a hefty personal injuries claim to settle. I was not amused, as you can imagine (not the least because the letter was dated 31/12/99 and the Council offices had already closed for a number of days). I immediately wrote back with a little legal analysis of my own. Yes, I agreed, it may in fact be dangerous, but since I was quite prepared to pay for the rectification of the problem, and authorised such in my reply, the ball was most definitely in their court. As I had no legal recourse to barricade the offending public area, I suggested that they do so or fix the problem forthwith (a month later I have not even had the courtesy of a reply, let alone any remedial activity in front of my house). The fact that nothing has been done might suggest that the threats of looming legal actions were the stick with which to obtain my payment for the work.

    By Matthew Fordahl
    The Associated Press
    SAN JOSE, Calif. When Congress enacted the most far-reaching makeover in corporate law since 1934, eyes widened at software companies that envisioned a Y2K-style boom from helping businesses meet the complicated new requirements.
    So far, demand is weaker than expected, leading some analysts to believe that the companies competing for a slice of the so-called compliance business from Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp. to small startups may see this tech bubble burst before it's fully inflated.
    The biggest driver is Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was passed in 2002 in response to the accounting and finance scandals that embroiled Enron Corp., WorldCom Inc. and others.
    The 160-word section of the 66-page law is widely seen as the most challenging. Corporations must document, test and certify their internal checks and balances governing all business processes across the company, such as payroll, accounts receivable and countless others.

    Take A Stand! O N L I N E "Discerning the Times in the Light of the Word" www.ericbarger.com Could Y2K Failures Bring us Martial Law - Part 1 of 2 - by E ric B arger Andrew Gause, Y2K action chairman for the city of Hawthorne, NJ and author of Y2K Chaos says: "I really cannot believe the scope that he (Clinton) has gone to to insure that the president (whoever that might be at the time) had absolute authority up to seizing private property. When you look at the scope of Executive Orders that Mr. Clinton has put into place I think he’s really planning that the President have the power to deal with the situation (Y2K) in the most dictatorial fashion imaginable." If you believe Mr. Gause is exaggerating then read on. without without any constraints from Congress. In fact, EO’s become law unless they are revoked by Congress. Knowing that Bill Clinton has expressed that he would not be a "lame duck" leader it appears that he intends to legislate his will with the use Executive Orders. Depending on your political persuasion you may not view that as all bad - until you find out what the Clinton EO’s contain. Even died-in-the-wool liberals would find many of Clinton’s EO’s and PDD’s troubling and puzzling if not down right hair-raising. The concern is multiplied times over when one adds up what the sum total effect of these EO’s and PDD’s. First of all, Executive Order 13107 decrees that human rights descend not from God but from worldly governmental authorities - with the ultimate authority represented by the United Nations. From all we see, it seems that the UN believes people have the right to dissent, unless it is dissent against the United Nations. Now with that as the basis of his logic, consider that all things terrifying, socialistic and unconstitutional are possible, at least in the mind of globalist Bill Clinton.

    After you read this brief intro, check out the PC Year 2000 Alliance pages - click here What is Y2K or the "Year 2000 bug"? Y2K is an acronym for "Year 2000" and a glitch in our computer technologies - The result is that computers and other technologies [like the power transformers at the base of the electric grid, computer chips in cars, etc.] may have difficulty operating normally when the year changes on December 31, 1999 or when the computers attempt to process information requiring using dates in the year 2000+. Extent of the Problem Recent discussions about the impending effects of the Year 2000 (Y2K) computer bug include predictions that it may lead to widespread and random disruption in basic services involving electrical power, transportation and other basic services we now take for granted. The commentators run the gamut from the unconcerned to the hysterical, so it is hard to evaluate the real probabilities of significant disruption of basic services or local impacts, including issues in programs and computer systems at the local home and office level. There are preventive solutions for hardware and software within our control, obviously the "big picture" solutions will have to come from those responsible for the infrastructure of our industrialized and, now computerized, societies. Y2K Solutions There are software and hardware fixes for some of the Y2K issues.

For past statements this must be done by December 3, 1998. These identifications can be done on your web site or thru notices sent directly to recipients of past statements. Each separate statement (document) published must be identified as a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" on its first page. (see the identifying statement put on the Florida State University System Year 2000 Report document as an example.)....."
    • T o protect against another entity's claim of immunity you must register your objection with that entity within 45 days of receipt of their notice or by April 17, 1999 for notices posted on their web site.

    THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release October 19, 1998 STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT Today I am pleased to sign into law S. 2392, the "Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act." As our Nation prepares for the year 2000 (Y2K), we face an urgent need to address the Y2K problem, which may cause computers and embedded systems that run America's critical infra-structure to malfunction or even shut down. With little over a year until January 1, 2000, this is a serious global challenge that businesses and governments around the world must address. Today, my Council on Year 2000 Conversion is launching "National Y2K Action Week," to urge small- and medium-sized businesses to take the necessary steps to ensure that the technologies they and their business partners depend upon are ready for the year 2000. Over the next 5 days, the Small Business Administration, the Department of Commerce, and several other Federal agencies will host Y2K educational events at their field offices across the Nation. As part of this week, we are also urging State, local, tribal governments, and community organizations to address this critical problem. More than 160 national organizations representing industries, professions, government, and the nonprofit sector have joined the Council in promoting Y2K action during this week. This legislation will help provide businesses, governments, and other organizations with the necessary informational tools to overcome the Y2K computer problem. This Act, which builds upon a proposal my Administration submitted to the Congress in July, is an important bipartisan accomplishment. I particularly want to thank those in the Congress whose hard work and support of this legislation made its passage possible. Representatives Horn, Kucinich, Morella, Barcia, Leach, LaFalce, Hyde, Conyers, Dreier, and Eschoo and Senators Bennett, Dodd, Hatch, Leahy, and Kyl were integral to getting this work done and done quickly.
