Ptech

From The Wilderness Publications: "Clarifications Regarding Ptech Software
3/21/2005
From The Wilderness Publications
Dear Samantha Atkins,
Thank you for the time you invested in critiquing our January 2005 stories about Ptech. We'd like to address the points you raised and make the necessary clarifications. Early in your letter, you write:
There is no such thing as a program that can 'read, operate, and modify the source code' of other programs to the extent of being able to penetrate federal systems
We did not claim that Ptech software was able to 'penetrate federal systems.' Ptech software was the federal system, and the penetration occurred in 1996 when Bill Clinton gave Ptech high military clearance. Thus Ptech (currently Go Agile) began to acquire contracts throughout the US government and across the US military and intelligence agencies.
At the same time, it should be noted that programs have existed for decades that do modify other programs at run time - these are not written in the traditional way. They are meta-model driven.
You go on to state:
First, the source code of most software running on all systems is not even present. Only the actual binary machine language is available. Nor is there only one type of machine language. There are several types. To disassemble machine code to even slightly more compact assembly code would not yield something that could be understood by humans or computers at the semantic level of what the section of code was actually for or attempting to accomplish. Without such semantic understanding meaningful use, subversion and control of the code by a program like the one alleged is utterly impossible.
According to computer scientist Indira Singh, our primary source and consultant for "

Aftermath: Complicity of Liberal Canada to Terrorize Citizens

April 3, 2005 'ICH' - - British author and producer Adam Curtis (�The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear�, BBC documentary challenging the American version of �War on Terrorism�: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1037.htm ), pointed out clearly: �international terrorism is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It is a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security services and the international media.� In an age of knowledge, wisdom and human respect, we are the latest victims of this �dark illusion�, an organized political fraud intended to glue Muslims to the terrorism myth. The American and British ruling elite has invested heavily to institutionalize animosity towards Muslims and the Arabs. The new 21st century colonial masters views humanity in numbers and digits, not as living moral beings with rights and dignity.

American neocons use racism and religious fanaticism to fuel hatred towards Muslims and Islam, and engulf the world with horror of military conquests to further the dictum of the Project for the New American Century of domination. With its long history of colonialism, British Labor PM Tony Blair needed such an opportunity to reclaim the lost glory, but Canadian Liberal leaders joined the bandwagon without much thinking of its relevance and usefulness.

History and Geography point out striking affinity amongst the players in the global viewpoint of the American sponsored �War on Terror�, "
