PARANET-DENVER, CO--Could World War III be started by UFO
activity? That is the question that seems to be at the forefront
of Soviet-American talks these days. ParaNet received this press
release and is passing this valuable information along. More
details will follow.
RUSSIANS WORRIED UFOS COULD TRIGGER STAR WARS
For the first time, the Russians have linked their
opposition to Star Wars with UFOs, saying that they are worried
that UFOs could accidentally trigger a nuclear war between the
United States and the Soviet Union.
In an extraordinary article titled "UFOs and Security,"
published in the official Soviet Military Review, the Russians
expressed concern that the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)
computers might mistakenly order that UFOs be fired upon,
thinking they were enemy missiles or launch an unprovoked counter
attack against the Soviet Union.
The magazine reported that the USSR Academy of Sciences has
been unable to find prosaic explanation for "tens of thousands of
UFOs" that have been seen over Russia. Three hundred Soviet
scientists and other experts met in Tomsk last year to consider
the UFO phenomenon.
Michael C. Luckman, Director of the New York Center for UFO
Research (NYCUFOR) called the Russian statement on UFOs and
security "an extraordinary admission that UFOs are real."
Luckman urged the United Nations to "take appropriate action to
inform the people of the world about UFOs that are visiting Earth
and their possible impact on all mankind."
"Not only are UFOs real," said Luckman, "but according to
Senator Barry Goldwater they are classified 'Above Top Secret.'
We have 10,000 pages of official documents declassified by the
United States government and released under the Freedom of
Information Act, that clearly show that UFOs exist, that they are
operated under intelligent control, and that they are taken very
seriously by this and other great nations of the world."
Luckman emphasized that "There is no reason to believe that
extraterrestrials pose any threat whatsoever to the human race."
President Ronald Reagan publicly stated on three separate
occasions that "If the Earth faced an invasion by
extraterrestrials, the United States and the Soviet Union would
join forces to repel such an invasion." (Dec. 4, 1985, Fallston
High School, Maryland; September 17, 1987, opening of the 42nd
session of the United Nations; and May 4, 1988, the National
Strategy Forum, Chicago). Addressing officials in Russia on
February 16, 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev disclosed that Reagan had
raised the issue of a possible extraterrestrial invasion of Earth
during the Geneva Summit on November 18-20. "I shall not dispute
the hypothesis," said Gorbachev, "though I think it's early yet
to worry about such an intrusion."
Major Ret. Colman VonKeviczky, Director of ICUFON, a leading
American research organization, is the man who sparked Russian
action on the Star Wars-UFO issue. Major VonKeviczky, who served
in the Royal Hungarian Army, has personally discussed the issue
with military officials in Denmark, France, Switzerland, Sweden,
Austria, Hungary and Spain.
Major VonKeviczky played a major role in laying the
groundwork for the matter of UFOs and international security to
be brought before the Special Political Committee of the United
Nations General Assembly on November 27, 1978.
Among the documents that Major VonKeviczky has uncovered is
a treaty agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union
signed on September 30, 1971. The treaty provides that each
party notify the other "immediately in the event of detection by
missile warning systems of unidentified objects or in the event
of signs of interference with these systems or with related
communications facilities, if such occurrences could create a
risk of outbreak of nuclear war between the two countries."
Antonio Huneeus, an international science writer and Latin
American Continental Coordinator for the Mutual UFO Network
(MUFON), said, "It is remarkable that while the American Academy
of Sciences is still quoting their 1969 endorsement of the
controversial Condon Report on UFOs, their Soviet counterpart
seems to be way ahead in pursuing research of this important
contemporary phenomenon."
Luckman and Major VonKeviczky will discuss the UFO-Star Wars
issue as it pertains to the United States and Russia at the Whole
Life Expo on October 6 and 7 at the New York Penta Hotel in
Manhattan. VonKeviczky and Huneeus are scheduled to address an
international UFO conference called "Dialogue With the Universe,"
to be held from October 26 to 29 in Frankfurt, West Germany.

I said INTENTIONALLY left in. The original poster implied that companies
were testing their systems for holes before they shipped, then leaving the
holes in. The Worm made use of widespread holes, true, but these were
discovered after the software in question had already been released. Thus
the conspiracy implied by the original message simply isn't there. (Haven't
people heard of Occam's Razor? In this case: never attribute to malice what
can be explained by stupidity.)
>My company has so many back doors and holes that it
>is unsettling at the potential threat,
But did they create the holes on purpose? That's what I'm taking issue
with.
