If you are a pollyanna check this real audio out. If you are a doomer and you want to re-enforce your beliefs that Y2K is for real, you too must listen. This is the biggest thing to come out on Y2K that I have EVER seen. BIGGER THAN THE NAVY REPORTS.

All rights reserved Anyone interested may want to go to the following site: www.audiocentral.com select "Radio Shows", then select "McAlveny Intelligence Report". If you don't have RealPlayer installed on your computer there's a free download at the site. Then listen to the "Y2K Endgame" portion which was put up at the site on Nov. 8th. If that doesn't wake you up to Y2K then nothing will. It covers the last symposium on Y2K in which most attendees were technicians and the presenters were from government agencies. Its bigger than they are telling everyone. If for no other reason, I was stunned to learn that at midnight on Dec. 31, approximately 200,000 computer viruses will be sent out over the internet to try and corrupt as much as possible of what's working. These viruses are originating from locations in Africa. The Govt. knows all about it but the mainstream media isn't reporting it--mostly on orders from Clinton so that a panic doesn't start. What about Jan. 1 when there's no water and sewer in NYC, and 8 million people are looking for the first working toilet in sight, or trying to find a bottle of spring water. And they think no panic will occur? It's gonna be a mess and IMO it won't be a flash in the pan for the PM's.

The McAlveny Intelligence Report. Now, I will go to listen.

Yes I listened to that a few days ago,have already made a couple of copies

It is a keeper alright,a good one for giving to DGI friends/relatives

Excellent... will pass it on... only problem is persuading entrenched DWGIs that these people are any more worth listening to than anyone else. Hearing it 'on the radio' rather than seeing it 'in print' on the Internet does seem to add a sense of credibility though...

I'm extremely skeptical of "the islamic fanatics did it!" as an explanation of Y2k chaos. I'll give it a listen, but my spin detector is on red alert with this "cyberterrorism" gambit. All the evidence tells us that our own greed, shortsightedness and stupidity are more than enough to take us down. They're blaming the islamics to avoid a crisis of faith in The Machine.

It'll probably work.

Anyone have a transcript of this? Would you post it in a new thread also so thos of us who for one reason or another need visual could get it? thanks..

I'm listening to realaudio of Gordon McDonald who went to a y2k symposium in New York. I'll transcripe the main points.

The major media was there.

Gist of conference was that it was a crisis management conference. Fixing was no longer the issue, it was how they were going to manage the failures. They're now expected. Within fortune 1000 over half will not be ready.

SEC filings of 1000 fortune corps have changed and latest are not good news. They are saying that y2k could bring down their compainies. This is shared because of legal reasons.

They are expecting local and regional outages of power. But they didn't know where. They felt some large metropolitan areas would be hit. This scenario was taken for granted at this symposium. They were telling the conference to stop fixing and start preparing for how to handle the expected failures and to save resources to deal with the crisis.

They are expecting failures in the gas and oil industries overseas.

5% of the financial institutions will not be ready in America.

Embedded chips systems will be worse than 1% that was predicted. It is expected that it will now be 5%.

DOD is only 70% ready. (WOW)

These speakers at the conference were people with top security clearances. They had a lot of candor at the conference. They were saying at how unprepared the government from top to bottom really is.

Social Security is not ready yet.

All agencies that have to produce checks will keep producing November checks. The plan is if necessary they will try to write out checks by hand. (Laughter in background)

They confirmed the Navy Report's analysis of possible disruptions.

One man from Horn's committee said they expect huge disruptions overseas.

Japan and China will have major problems.

Speakers were very open and transparent. All questions were accepted and answered truthfully.

They are expecting social unrest but don't know how bad it will be.

FBI expect 200,000 viruses on Jan. 1. They have officially received 40, 000 notices of intended viruses.

These viruses along with y2k will compound y2k failures

Disclosed that the government intended from the beginning to keep the public from panicing.

Speakers were from Koskinen's office, various government agencies, top officials etc.

Further clarification...the naval war college presenter made it very clear that around 2 years ago, the white house requested their think tank to offer best possible outcomes with regard to handling public knowledge of y2k. The war college said 'transparency' aka disclosure. the white house ignored their suggestions in favor of the policy of keeping the public in the dark about the ramifications of y2k so as to not allow panic.

This is the smoking gun of the white house policy against private preparation.

Yes, we successfully installed RealPlayerG2 a few days ago and listened to the 35-minute audio (interrupted incessantly because so many ppl were hitting on it) and the 55-minute one from Gordon's site (smooth listening; he takes forever to get warmed up, but then it gets pretty hot)!

11/08/99 Y2K Report with Gordon McDonald

They say the White House, 2 years ago, made a CONSCIOUS DELIBERATE decision to spin Y2K with the uppermost edict DO AND SAY ***NOTHING*** TO PANIC THE PEOPLE. Which has left the country in disastrous ruinous shape when TSHTF in January.

Well, I guess my day is ruined after reading this. I would like to add that our NG in our area is preparing. I know I can't prove it but thought I would let midwest people know.
