..This building - basically a light steel shed used to store nuclear waste - contained up to 20 kilograms of fissile material, enough to make several nuclear weapons (see "LANL shuts down amid terrorist acts on East Coast," The New Mexican, 9/12/01).
This plutonium was within about 200 feet of the Cerro Grande fire. While the material was not in direct danger, due to the lack of vegetation in the immediate area, its presence at this location was contrary to repeated LANL public pronouncements at the time. DOE safety officials apparently either did not know the material was there, or understand just how much plutonium was at risk.
Two and a half years ago when the Cerro Grande fire at Los Alamos almost consumed 20 Kgs. of unaccounted for Plutonium, costing $400 Million to produce, the cult known as 3HO (living 20 miles downwind in Espanola New Mexico) all went to Albuquerque for the day. The mass exodus was an unnanounced emergency evacuation and no reasons were given by anyone. Nothing like this exodus, had to my knowledge, ever happened at 3HO before or since.
Based on the premise that 3HO knew about the Plutonium, I assumed that they had hidden it in a shed to make it easy to smuggle out of Los Alamos. Then based on this premise I simply looked on the internet for connections between them and Los Alamos which would permit this cult's Pakistani leader to steal this and other Nuclear material for the Taliban.
I spent only two hours and only on the internet using mostly the google search engine and I found it. 3HO secretly owns the only guard service in charge of all the Los Alamos Labs, Worldwide Security Services. The installed the computers in the offices as well. (That took a half an hour to find on the internet.)
A code of ethics does not exist for the man Yogi Bhajan. This is at least four atomic bombs and nobody at LANL cares.
This a long article I have written so I put this in it's entirity includiing links on my web site at http://shakespeareslove.com/z/ (which I hope is OK.)
I always wondered about the creepy organization behind the Peace Cereal I eat for breakfast.
Ok, thanks.
I'm glad you said so, or I'd have to ask "What The Hell Is It With New Mexico?"
Again. ;^)
What about the type to steal the plutonium in the name of "Peace"?
It actually doesn't sound all that implausible to me. What exactly made a pseudo Sikh yoga get the idea to start a string of security companies, I wonder.
From this Free Republic thread:
AKAL is one of several companies owned by the Sikh community near Espanola. Its name, pronounced "a call," means "deathless" or "undying" in an ancient Indian language.The company is privately owned, although its stock is owned by a nonprofit called Sikh Dharma of New Mexico. Profits are reinvested in the company.
AKAL has no stockholders -- private or public -- urging the company to put less money into the company and more into their pockets.
"We didn't want any one person or any two people to run away with our company," says chief executive officer Sat Niral Kaur Khalsa. "We want this to exist for generations."
At this rate, it just might.
AKAL was formed by Daya Singh Khalsa, Gurutej Khalsa and others when Gurutej Khalsa, who graduated from two police academies, couldn't get a job in law enforcement because of his beard and traditional Sikh dress, which includes a turban...
...AKAL got its first federal contract in 1987. Originally, the company was eligible for smaller contracts the federal government sets aside for small business. But in 1991, AKAL got too big and now has to compete for government business against larger companies, Khalsa says.
That hasn't seemed to make a difference. AKAL still gets government contracts.
In addition to New Mexico contracts with the Espanola school district and the State Fairgrounds, AKAL has three out of 12 contracts providing federal courthouse security to U.S. deputy marshals, Khalsa says.
The 1,000 AKAL officers working for the marshals have their legal power while on duty at the courthouses and take special classes on how to operate X-ray machines and metal detectors and how to spot weapons, Khalsa says.
The classes have received a certain acclaim, and the company might work with the U.S. Attorney's Office to make it part of their regular program, he says.
AKAL Security recently bid on a four-year $105 million security contract to protect Los Alamos National Laboratory. But the contract went to Protection Technology Los Alamos Inc., which had the previous contract.
Khalsa says he understands why the lab would award the contract to Protection Technology, which pledged a $12 million economic development package, but he was disappointed his company didn't even qualify as one of the top three bidders.
Khalsa says he's not sure if AKAL will try again for the contract.
