Ron- The Navy department Y2K report that has been circulating on the internet is not a hoax says Koskinen- Clintons Y2K czar and it is not pretty folks- search.washingtonpost.com excerpt- >> A Navy report predicts ''probable'' or ''likely'' failures in electrical and water systems for many cities because of the Year 2000 technology problem -- an assessment more dire than any other made by the government. << >>The Navy report was first summarized on an Internet site run by Jim Lord, a Y2K author, who said he obtained it ''from a confidential source of the highest reliability and integrity.'' ''The military has to work from the worst case, but so do we,'' Lord told The Associated Press on Thursday. ''It's reprehensible for them to know this and keep it from us.'' <<< Jim Lords website with Navy report and other info- jimlord.to

I think Ron will soon have far more VITAL serious things to worry about (in only about 4 more months) than 7-11 promotional signs or, as he calls it, being 'toyed with', or trying to get doomeRealists he loses debates with, banned. Based on several thousand documents I have studied for over a year, including insider reports, the Naval report, those relating to the coming Martial law, State of Naional Emergency, the FEMA relocation centers, the oil shutdown, the grim predictions of the grid going down from any number of domino effects, mass civil unrest, etc ad naseum, AND Based on Ron's service record and presumeably having programming experience, and still apparently being a fairly young guy, I think he should start planning his future with the REAL potential of, under martial law/State of National Emergency,and PDDs/EOs being activated (they are already on the books, of course) being recalled for active duty in the army reserves/local national guard, or, being impounded under the EO's to work in Federal work/emergency repair gangs repairing y2k breakdowns, or (espically in Washington DC) being relocated to a FEMA shelter. These VERY REAL AND GRIM possibilities/probabilities are far more important things, of many magnitudes higher, than his current such little worries, The above apply also to anyone with a similiar background-i.e.,anyone with programming experience or an armed forces veteren, and/or living in any major population center. I think I will post the PDDs and EOs for everyone to be seriously thinking about in terms of their own planning and future. Probably 3.5 months left until Martial law is declared.
