Monitoring U.S. Homeland Security

Hi again my friends...long time no post. Not from lack of want, however...



Today is a great day for the future. I have been putting the finishing touches on my first cd rom release, and am very proud of the result. The first release of the Civil Defense Now CDRom Library Achive is about to be produced. A first run is being readied and will be back in my hands in a few weeks. I will also be having OTHER cds prepped on this end of things that JUST DIDN'T fit on the first one.



Amazingly, this first cd has more then 20,000 pages of information in PDF files, text files, and webpages. 649 megs of data, graphics, maps, pictures, training manuals, field manuals and more are on it. A resource that would literally take you MONTHS to read thru, if not years....all on one small, thin wafer of plastic.



Other things are in work, including massive function additions to the SurvivalRing website...several new CGI programs, including onsite chat, threaded message boards, site based AUCTIONS!, printer friendly pages, download tracking, bandwidth savers, and more ...



Oh, and many NEW civil defense manuals have come into my posession the past two months, including the COMPLETE FEMA manual..all nine chapters...of the ATTACK ENVIRONMENT MANUAL...a presentation based curriculum for the EMA world on just exactly HOW to deal with NUCLEAR terror and attack...from 1987 (pre-fall of Soviet Union).



More is to come, and the infrastructure in place is going to be mindblowing. I now have a full network of three power systems hooked up via ethernet here at the homestead, and have over 60 gigs of storage capacity...(soon to be 160 gig), and enough material to fill THAT up in the next year or so...



In other words, while I haven't done much page updates this summer, I HAVE been spending every waking moment NOT at work at McD, working on the above. The "project" is well ahead of where I EVER thought it would be, and I can promise everyone here reading this....it is going to change the world soon. Why the government hasn't done this yet is beyond me...but the fact that I am doing it and getting it DONE, means the world to me, and I will put every fiber of my being into seeing it into completion. I ask anyone else wanted to join in getting this scanning/digitizing project done, to PLEASE...COME HELP US.



Every pair of hands, every scanner in work, every NEW manual of document of civil defense nature that we can COLLECT...has the potential to save MILLIONS of lives, should the next terror attack contain radiological output.



People, I can't stress this enough....here on the eve of the first anniversary of 9/11, we HAVE to be thinking and ACTING, to mitigate any MORE major attacks and loss of life...just by thinking ahead. There has never been a better time. Act now and help one another...help me...and help yourselves....



No rocket science here..only basic common sense and elbow grease. CONTACT ME if you can....if you will.....help.

...will be the fastest, best way.



Think on what you can do...then do it.



I'll do everything in my power to help you get there...



Until next update,


Richard
