Cameras plentiful where Del. man's body dumped

Whoever dumped the body of a prominent national defense consultant into a garbage bin in a bustling college town risked being detected, either by witnesses or surveillance cameras, with some of the containers in well-lit parking lots, near restaurants and stores.

Police don't know which of the 10 bins collected on New Year's Eve in Newark contained the body of 66-year-old John P. Wheeler III, who was last seen alive the afternoon before some 15 miles away in downtown Wilmington. Where he might have been killed and what he was doing on the days leading up to his death also remain elusive, said Newark police spokesman Lt. Mark Farrall.

"We still don't know the location of the crime scene," Farrall said Tuesday.

Much is known about Wheeler's 40-year consulting career.

A 1966 West Point graduate and Army officer at the Pentagon during the Vietnam War, he later served the administrations of the last three Republican presidents. During Ronald Reagan's time in the White House, Wheeler headed the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program and helped get the Vietnam War Memorial wall built in Washington. Under George W. Bush, he helped develop an Air Force program to combat cyber attacks on U.S. weapons systems.

INFRAGARD: Gov't Gives Citizens Permission To Shoot To Kill

The Pentagon's New Map - Thomas Barnett lecture

Here we see the new policy of the New World Order laid out for all to see. Thomas Barnett lectures on the "new" role of the United States as "Global Enforcer" for the Internationalist Bankers. Sometimes, the BEST info on what is happening in the world is NOT contained at the latest "conspiracy web site". In fact most of the time it is contained in extremely boring "discussion papers" from Think Tanks - The Wall Street Journal - and the myriad of "in" magazines and periodicals that the Elite communicate with each other through.

For more perspective, click here.

http://www.ted.com In this bracingly honest and funny talk, international security strategist Thomas P.M. Barnett outlines a post-Cold War solution for the foundering US military: Break it in two. He suggests the military re-form into two groups: a Leviathan force, a small group of young and fierce soldiers capable of swift and immediate victories; and an internationally supported network of System Administrators, an older, wiser, more diverse organization that actually has the diplomacy and power it takes to build and maintain peace.

WW2 mass graves found at Austrian hospital

UPI reports:

Mass graves recently found at an Austrian psychiatric hospital may hold the remains of Nazi euthanasia victims, officials said Tuesday.

At a news conference, officials from Hall Hospital said a commission will study the remains, try to identify them and to find out how they died, The Guardian reported. The graves were discovered during new construction, which has been stopped.

The excavation is to begin in March when the ground will no longer be frozen.

About 220 people were buried at the hospital between 1942 and 1945, Oliver Seifert, a historian, said. He said Hall was not known to have been a center for the killing of those considered unfit, although patients from the hospital were sent elsewhere for extermination.

Seifert said a careful study of the hospital graves could determine whether euthanasia became so ingrained in the Nazi medical system that it was carried out on some scale in many hospitals.

"We know that murder was actively carried out at other psychiatric institutions, by overdosing patients, neglect or undernourishment," Seifert said.

Military needs response plan to genocide

Chris Taylor and Anthony Zinni write for CNN:

In the past 75 years, the world has been witness to genocide in Cambodia, Rwanda, Srebrenica, Darfur and the Holocaust.

In a few weeks, the next mass atrocity could happen in East Africa.

As retired Adm. Dennis Blair, former U.S. director of National Intelligence, testified in 2010: "A number of countries in Africa and Asia are at significant risk for a new outbreak of mass killing. Among these countries, a new mass killing or genocide is most likely to occur in southern Sudan."

In one week, the mostly Christian people of South Sudan will cast a historic vote to secede or not from the Muslim North. While the United States rightly pursues diplomatic solutions to what most believe will be a vote to secede, prudence demands military preparations for violence -- to include mass killings that could be carried out simultaneously by varied groups.

Should South Sudan vote to secede, North-on-South violence is probable. A secession vote could also create a scramble for power and retribution by marginalized tribes in the South, while posturing by outside provocateurs and regional states could also lead to unintended violence.

Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army could exploit violence in Sudan to cover its own killing of civilians, as could al-Shabaab in Somalia. All could result in mass killings, and all could require military responses.

But so could a withdrawal from Iraq, unrest in Central Asia, or cartel violence in Mexico -- and the United States is unprepared to respond to genocide or mass atrocities in any of these cases. Failing to respond to barbaric events of human slaughter is more than just a matter of political will or legal authority -- it is a result of the manifest lack of critical thinking about how military forces could respond when prevention fails.

The Obama administration has said many of the right things. The 2010 National Security Strategy proclaims the United States will "in certain instances ... use military means to prevent and respond to genocide and mass atrocities." The Pentagon's 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review says the military will "prepare to defeat adversaries and succeed in a wide range of contingencies," to include "preventing human suffering due to mass atrocities." Even so, the United States has done little in the way of concrete planning should mass violence against civilians break out.
