STOP CASSINI NEWSLETTERS

Note:

Generally, all newsletters have been posted as soon as practical after initial publication.

New ACLU research has, quite by accident, uncovered information indicating that Bruce Gagnon specifically, as well as others in Global Network and group itself, have been the target of Pentagon and NASA infiltration and additional violations of their civil rights. We have offered all possible support to GN and the ACLU to help to get to the bottom of this outrageous usurption of our civil liberties and of our rights, and of the purpose of democracy.

NASA & PENTAGON SURVEILLANCE OF GLOBAL NETWORK

As the Global Network (GN) prepares for its 13th annual space organizing conference in New York City, on April 29-30 [2005], a call came into our office today [April 21st, 2005] from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The ACLU office in Brevard County, Florida (where NASA and the Kennedy Space Center are located) called to inform the Global Network that an ACLU investigation of the Brevard County Sheriff's department has revealed 600-700 pages of internal files documenting extensive infiltration and surveillance of the Global Network and other anti-war activities in the county during recent years. The files contained descriptions of Global Network members as being "anti-American."

The ACLU investigation, which began last January, also revealed that NASA was gathering information on European demonstrations against the launching of weapons and nuclear power in space during recent years. In addition, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), based in Tampa, Florida, had infiltrated the Global Network as late as October of 2002 during the organization's annual Keep Space for Peace Week.

According to the ACLU the investigations centered on Global Network Coordinator Bruce Gagnon and Global Network members Mary Beth Sullivan and Maria Telesca. In addition to infiltration of the organization, the ACLU noted that the investigations included background checks, driving histories, address histories, as well as other information gathering activities.

The ACLU has requested permission to pursue legal action on behalf of Bruce, Mary Beth, and Maria. The ACLU intends to attempt to retrieve all surveillance files gathered on Global Network members and to pursue a possible lawsuit.

Newsletter #11: May 10th, 1997

"I believe this planet can provide us with everything we need, probably enough for 10 billion people at a time or more, without significant damage to the ecosystem. However, at our present rate, we will use up one after another of our natural resources, making us even more desperate to turn to dangerous and dirty alternatives."

Newsletter #10: May 8th, 1997

"Make no mistake about it, this is not a battle against Cassini. This is a battle against nuclear energy, not space exploration. This is a battle against proven bad technology, not technology in general. Certainly it is not a battle against the many wonderful things that HAVE come out of NASA and the many wonderful people that work there."

Newsletter #6: April 22nd, 1997

An answer to NASA WATCH editor Keith Cowing

Newsletters #3 and #4: April 17th and 19th, 1997

Are the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) onboard Cassini actually designed to incinerate if a flyby re-entry occurs? Yes! According to NASA, from 32% to 34% of the plutonium in the RTGs "is expected to be released at high altitude" in the event of a flyby reentry accident (Page 4-51 of the June 1995 "Final" EIS on the Cassini Mission). That means around 20 pounds of Plutonium IS EXPECTED to be released at high altitude. Of that, 20% to 66% will be in "respirable particles". Plus whatever is released at low altitude. These newsletters show our earlier (somewhat flawed) analyses. For our latest (5/22/97) analyses of NASA's own documentation on the RTGs, click here.)
