PGP Support Forums
I have long been a user of PGP and a happy customer for years. However, I am very dissatisfied with PGP Desktop 9.0. This product is sub-standard and unfit for distribution but was rushed to market with MANY complaints unresolved. If you wish to see for yourself, click the link to the support forum and read some of the issues that have been addressed there. PGP Corp seems to have no intention to resolve any of these issues in a timely manner. There are a few caring technicians from the company who have come on the forums and attempted to help. However, the company management has given no assurance nor apologies for the problems that continue to plague the program. One begins to wonder if PGP Corp is taking its customer service lessons from Microsoft. This is disheartening. Until the company makes corrections to this software, I recommend that you stick with version 8.1 of PGP desktop. Any review that comes out in support of PGP Desktop 9.0 before these corrections are made is simply not giving you the whole truth. BUYER BEWARE!

t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | Heroes
In this post, I would simply like to recognize Mr. Pitt for his dedication to the truth and for his humility in recognizing so many others who are fighting the good fight to bring the truth to light. In his online publication, "truthout," Mr. Pitt does whatever necessary to get to the truth, and he does so with bold courage. Thank you, William Rivers Pitt.

Hey, Sleepwalkers, your president authorized torture!
Well, I hope you Rethuglicans and other NeoCons are happy with yourselves. Your president authorized the use of torture on prisoners of war (many of them boys under the age 18). And his FBI that is investigating the matter has attempted to cover it up. Add to this the election fraud, false pretenses for war, keeping a Secretary of Defense who could not care less for our men and women in uniform, giving incentives to corporations to ship high-tech jobs out of the country, et cetera, and you have quite the leader on your hands. So, let's just throw a party for all those elections officials who were paid off to install voting machines which could be hacked and would provide no paper record of the vote. Let's give a loud "Hooray!" for those in the FBI, CIA and Pentagon who "play ball," making certain that the plans of this administration are carried out and covered up. You all are real heroes. I can only hope you get what you deserve.

More about my head...
Use this link to put the rss feed from this blog on your site: http://passgo.blogspot.com/atom.xml
As I mentioned in my last post, I have hydrocephalus, which you can read more about by visiting http://www.hydrocephalus.org. It is basically an excess buildup of the cerebral-spinal fluid that surrounds your brain. Although I was not diagnosed until I was in my late 30's, I have been living with the condition since birth. The cause of my "hydro" is a sub-arachnoid cycst which blocks the CS fluid from freely flowing between my head and my spinal column. This causes pressure to build up in my head resulting in headaches, balance problems, short term memory deficiencies and other issues. Somehow, for almost the first 40 years of my life, my head compensated for the excess pressure by expanding in size. Many doctors will tell you that is not possible because of the hardening of the "plates" in your head during childhood. Well, they are full of crapola, because I have actual measurements of my head size from childhood until now, and my head has grown quite a bit. And even though my plates have hardened considerably in recent years, they are still somewhat flexible. I know this because since I have had a shunt placed in my head (a common treatment for hydro), my head has decreased in size. (Never again will I use the expression, "I need that like I need another hole in the head." As it turns out, I did need the extra hole.)

Hi All,
It's been a very long time since my last post. I'm not sure that matters since I cannot be certain that anyone except me reads this Blog. On the chance that there are others out there reading what I write, you have undoubtedly noticed the rather political tone of my previous posts. Well, despite the fact that the elections are days away, I have decided to make a sharp deviation from my previous path and begin discussing my own person. Although I am not at all certain that anyone will be interested in knowing the things that I will be sharing, I feel that it is important for my family, friends and myself that I document the experiences of my life so that we all can perhaps better understand who I am and the relationships we share. Ok, now where to begin...
Well, perhaps I should explain why I have decided to venture down this path of self exploration. Here is how it began. Just hours ago I began thinking about when I worked for Sprint - yes, the telecommunications company. Although I was dismissed from my position there (more about that later), I have mostly fond memories of the people and the work that I did for the company. This reminiscing led to the remembrance of a major project that began when I was there - the building of the current Sprint World Headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas. Well, one thought led to another and eventually I decided that it would be nice to try to get back in contact with some of the people with whom I had worked. Unfortunately, due to a condition I have called "hydrocephalus," I cannot remember most of the names of former friends and co-workers. This makes it rather difficult to contact any of them. 8-)
From this realization came the decision that perhaps I should just put some information about myself out there on the web where someone who might be as curious about me as I am about them could do a search and perhaps find my blog and contact information... and hopefully contact me. Then it occurred to me that most people I have worked with throughout my life have no idea of my condition since I learned of it only months after being dismissed from the company. Anyway, since I don't have addresses, neither email nor postal, for most of these good folks, I have decided to post some information about myself on the web to make it easier for them to find me.
oooo, geez, this post is getting long... ok, well, I'll post more today after getting some sleep. Take life "Head On."

Welcome to zhe United Fascist States of America!
Yes, my little sleepwalking comrades, you might as well surrender yourself and everything you own to the STATE right now and save yourselves the aggravation of having them take it from you. Why? ... because ONLY the STATE knows best; because ONLY the STATE can protect you from your enemies (and yourself); because ONLY the STATE knows how to educate your (their) children (and teach them to appreciate and swear their allegiance to the STATE; because ONLY the STATE can keep and eye on (or get rid of) those nasty anti-STATE neighbors of yours; because ONLY the STATE can make sure that nobody makes too much money or gets so powerful that he/she can say and do as he/she pleases (especially if he/she is producing goods or creating processes that make us less dependent on the state)... "oh say does that star and sicle banner yet wave?"

Sleepwalkers REJOICE!! Goss Is Your Man!
Sleepwalkers!
You are getting the CIA chief that you deserve. Read this piece from "The Village Voice" that contains many revealing facts about Mr. Goss.
Food for Thought
In the search for intelligence life, Porter Goss is strictly from hunger
Here's the news that made many people in the Eastern Time Zone heave up their breakfasts at 8:31 this morning: President Bush introduced Porter Goss as the new CIA director.
Bush called Goss a "reformer." The two of them ought to be toast.
How fitting that this is the same House Intelligence chairman Porter Goss who was having breakfast in D.C. on 9-11 with Pakistan's security chief, Lieutenant General Mahmoud Ahmad—who was later revealed to be hijacker Mohammed Atta's bagman.
The Washington Post's Rich Leiby mentioned the breakfast as a cheery aside in a May 18, 2002, puff profile of Goss. Florida senator Bob Graham was also munching with Mahmoud, as the Post and others, including the Asia Times have reported. But why didn't the Post mention the chowdown in its first lengthy stories this morning?
Digest this: The two Floridians wound up running the joint congressional inquiry into 9-11 in their roles as chairmen of the House and Senate Intelligence committees. Not a word of the breakfast appears in Goss-Graham 858-page report. No one's saying that Goss and Graham are necessarily hiding any big thing. But the breakfast, in retrospect, is at least somewhat embarrassing. And is it really such a worthless fact that it merited no mention at all?
And chew on another factoid: This is the same Porter Goss who stood up on the floor of the U.S. House on October 9, 2002, during the crucial debate about whether to authorize Bush to go to war against Iraq, and said, according to the Congressional Record (search under 107th Congress), that the 9-11 attack "was delivered by depraved men."
Two quick questions: Was the Pakistani general too depraved to have another cinnamon roll that morning? Or was he just full?
Goss also said on October 9, 2002:
Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and their radical ilk are at the epicenter of terrorist activity in the Middle East. Nobody doubts that. It is not debatable. President Bush, Prime Minister Blair and others have made convincing cases about the threats the despotic Iraqi regime poses to world peace and stability today—today as well as tomorrow.
And he added:
Iraq has expanded its weapons of mass destruction capabilities against its pledge not to. It still has deadly chemical weapons hidden throughout the country, and it has tried to develop nuclear devices as well. It is certain that Iraq has ties to many Islamic terror groups in the region, including Al Qaeda. Evidence supports Iraq's involvement in the first and probably the second World Trade Center bombing.
So, let's see: Goss, a former CIA agent, ignored studying something that did happen—his breakfast with the bagman of a 9-11 hijacker—while strongly pushing for a war based on a "threat" to our security that didn't exist.
Sure, let's make him CIA director. What the hell. He's been an effective stonewaller and excuse-maker ever since 9-11.
"No smoking gun," he said in 2002, when the Goss-Graham report was released.
It's "not about blame," he said in 2003. Here's his full quote from that rare public hearing of his House panel on 9-11 investigations, as reported by PBS at the time: "None of remarks we're talking about, nor any of history, and this certainly carries over to the 9-11 review, it's not about blame. This is about better protecting the United States of America in the world as it is today."
Keep this in mind: Since 9-11, various probes have found that the hijackers and other Al Qaeda operatives were constantly coming and going through Pakistan before the fateful day.
In the Goss-Graham report, you'll find Pakistan all over the 858 pages, but not a crumb from the 9-11 breakfast. What was talked about? Why was Pakistan's version of a CIA-FBI director in D.C. at that time? Who knew what? And when?
At the time of the attacks, the U.S. had a complex and rocky relationship with Pakistan. During the Reagan era, the U.S. helped finance and arm Arab militants so they could drive the Soviets out of Afghanistan. It's common knowledge that neighboring Pakistan was the base for those militants. And the agency Ahmad ran, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was often on friendly terms with the Taliban and other Arab militants but on shaky terms with the U.S.
Judge for yourself who's smoking what by going to the Center for Cooperative Research's unparalleled website of heavily annotated 9-11 timelines and essays. Search "Goss" and see what comes up.
The best analysis of this naggingly curious breakfast is perhaps this piece by Michel Chossudovsky, director of the Centre for Research on Globalization, a Canadian outfit that boldly goes where most other probers don't.
It's more interesting than the congressional report produced by Goss and Graham. Or is it? Would you like an after-meal HUMINT?

Keyes Becomes Hypocrite
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=5904855&src=eDialog/GetContent§ion=news
Is Alan Keyes giving in to a desire for power? Has he succombed to the power of the Republican National Committee? One has to wonder after the man who once criticized Hillary Clinton for moving to New York to run for the U.S. Senate will now have to make a similar move to Illinois before Election Day in November in order to challenge Democratic candidate Barack Obama for the Senate seat being vacated by Peter Fitzgerald.
Will the Republicans never cease to amaze us with the audacity of their hypocrisy, the boldness of their lies and the brashness of their self-rightousness? How do you come to a place where accusations are so easily assailed upon others with no consideration for how they will be turned back on one's own head? Is it the cameras in the face and the microphones at the mouth that cause the receiver of such attention to believe that somehow the words from his or her mouth set the standards for morality, philosophy, economy, policy, etc. until said person changes his or her mind?
Keyes had impressed me and many other Libertarians with his talk of small government and individual liberties during his bid to become the Republican candidate for President in 2000. However, Mr. Keyes has slipped far away from those ideas since that campaign. His new friends and contacts have made him part of the "political machine," and he can flip-flop on issues like the best of those in Washington, D.C. He is an attentive student of that "machine." I am certain that he and his teachers are proud of his ability to tow the political line.
