This file is a 1999 set of email records from a federal records system, possibly released through FOIA. Most of the emails are broadcast messages from Joseph P. Firmage promoting his online book The Truth and the International Space Sciences Organization, which he founded to study propulsion, energy and consciousness. One message, from Ed Yardeni, concerns a World Economic Forum Y2K panel at Davos and notes that Firmage was originally on the panel. None of the emails describe a specific UFO sighting.

will have enough time to remediate .our ideotechnomic system sufficiently to
avert biospheric catastrophe. Imagine the risk of delay: living in a
society , .
which discovered that its extinction was.inevitable and years away, not
from
asteroid impact, but from disfunction and decay caused by an old bug in its
ideology. On present course a~d speed, the average lO-year-old child will
likely live to experience such a realization.
Here is an opportunity for the science community to step up to the plate,
not only with studies, but with a loud voice, a'nd with new ideas and
open-mindedness to new ways of thinking about the broader human condition.
The solutions we deploy must match the reach of the problems, and thus some
kind of shift in the basic behaviors of individuals is a necessary
foundation for any robust strategy. Individual choices of this nature, in
my
view, tend to hinge upon individual bntology.
Across the Line in the Sand
Half a world away from us, the faces of deeply seeded anger fighting wars
of
old are slowly coming to focus in the lens of media. One of several
simmering global ideological conflicts among interpretations of religion,
the confrontation between Israeli and Palestinian has reached a pronounced
cusp of grace and. fragile possibility. As dusty and worn-out warriors
recognize their brothers and sisters across the line of chalk, they have
begun to shake hands and sign parchment. It has taken extraordinary efforts
among countless 'statesmen to cross the point passed in the last two weeks
concerning a section of land in the Middle East.
As reported by CNN, six years to the day after then-Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat shook hands at the White
House, Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy and top Palestinian negotiator
Mahmoud Abbas met at a converted army base between Israel and Gaza for a
ceremonial relaunch of the twice delayed peace talks.
"This agreement will bring to an end, God willing, the lOO-year conflict
that has caused so much suffering between Israel and, the Palestinians,"
said
Levy. "No one among us has illusions. We face a difficult task., The
permanent status agreement is the final block in building peace, but it is
the most complex of them all."
Abbas, Arafat's deputy, urged a speedy resolution, saying, "We cannot
afford
to lose more· time, for lots of precious time was wasted."
"The past was marked with denial. Let the future be based on mutual
recognition of self-determination," he said. "It is time to feel. It is
time
to reconstruct. It is the time for peace and peacemakers."
Imagine the opportunity now in view, however difficult the steps to reach
it. This summer has seen old combatants envision a new threshold in the
quest for peace, in a land considered for millennia by much of. the world to
be a center of spiritual tradition. In confronting questions as inherently
. challenging as the future of Jerusalem and Palestinian statehood, one hopes
that the negotiators can approach their charge with minds open to new
