Sane - on the MKUltra timeline... is there more information after 1994 - or did it shut down?
Also, these bastards keep showing up ...

What do you see as the connection to the women at Yale? Who was under mind control?

Pilikia, you need to go check out this thread.  I give an analysis on how I see MKULTRA being used.  To steal research and silence whistleblowers.

that timeline was written by the author in the link.

MK Ultra continued with Heaven's Gate, 9/11, and now with Gitmo (complete MK Ultra program).

As far as the connection with the women at Yale, not sre. Just something that should always be kept in mind concerning the Nazi influence over the US. And MK Ultra was not just targeted individuals, the fruits of their labor are used for mass mind control, Nancy Grace's entire program is an MK Ultra mass mind control project. So is MTV.

Yes - thanks; I need to read up on that...

Ok.. I want to find out where Van de Veldt is these days. Also keep an eye on Andrew Cohen's columns; if he continues to expose the fraudelent investigation and patsification of Raymond Clark it will be a miracle.  I think there's a better than even chance that we'll never hear another peep out of Andrew (assuming he'll find a horse's head in his bed for that last article Wink )

The Victims and Villains of New Haven
http://www.tnr.com/topics/james-van-de-velde
  
 The wall-to-wall coverage this week focusing on the murder of Yale student Annie Le goes to show just how mad these Ivy League murders drive us. They create instant victims and villains, but almost never a mix of the two. However, this week, it was hard not to remember the case if James Van de Velde, the Yale lecturer accused of killing Yale senior Suzanne Jovin in December 1998. Once called “Richard Jewell with a Ph.D,” Van de Velde’s life was turned upside down that winter after being publicly named a suspect--the only to be named--despite a lack of any hard evidence. He had been the academic advisor to Jovin, and she had met with him on the day of her death. While he was never formally charged, the university responded by cancelling his classes that spring and not renewing his contract the following year--his reputation, academic career, and personal life were quickly ruined. In a 1999 New York Times Magazine piece, James Bennet chronicled his life as a suspect:

But layer by layer, his life has been whittled down. He has no job now and few prospects, just a growing pile of rejections. His casual friends and colleagues have dropped away, leaving a small, hard core of loyalists. He cannot, of course, date. His savings are dwindling, and his legal bills are rising. His upbringing, his career and his social life have been publicly fly-specked by journalists searching backward, through the darkest of lenses, for signs of a murderer in the making.

What’s become of him over the last decade? He has spent much time vehemently defending his innocence, publishing op-eds calling for a renewed seriousness in the investigations, and writing letters (as recently as last year) urging authorities to test the DNA evidence found at the crime scene (a palm print on a Fresca can, skin underneath the victims fingernails), which have either not been tested, or have not matched his DNA. Since 2007, the case has been in the hands of four retired state detectives and is ongoing. One of the detectives reportedly said, “What was done to Van de Velde should not have been done even to a guilty man.” The team has recently claimed that “no person is a suspect in the crime, and everyone is a suspect,” and they are reportedly not in contact with Van de Velde. With the 2008 release of a composite of a man seen fleeing the area after the crime, it seems Van de Velde is finally out from under the thumb of (at least official) suspicion.

He’s also taken to the courts to seek compensation for the injustice he feels he suffered. In January of 2001, he sued Quinnipiac University for dismissing him from a graduate program he had been enrolled in at the time, and dropped the suit in 2004 in exchange for $80,000. In December of 2001, he sued the New Haven Police Department in federal court in Connecticut for violating his civil rights by naming him publicly--he added Yale as a defendant in 2003. In 2004 a judge dismissed the federal claims but reinstated the state claims in 2007.

Legal battles aside, Van de Velde, who has declined to talk to various new sources since the Le murder (save for a few questions from the AP), has recovered professionally despite a struggle to find work in the years immediately following the murder.  

Now with a wife and son,
he is a counter-terrorism and counter-proliferation analyst at the prestigious D.C. consulting firm, Booz Allen Hamilton, and worked for several years in counterterrorism at the State Department and the Defense Intelligence Agency.

In 1999 Van de Velde told Bennet, “I want the life I had completely back. And I see no reason why I shouldn’t be able to get it.” It may not be completely the life he had, and suspicions of his innocence remain, but from the outside looking in, it seems like the life of an innocent man.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Gee..when I started reading this article I expected to read that he was a broken man, living on the sidewalks of the lower east side and bumming quarters for a coffee... But NOOOOOO... he's in a high-paying Booz Allen Hamilton job. Hmmm.

Suspect in '98 Yale murder says he's still scarred
By DEBORAH HASTINGS AP National Writer
http://www.summitdaily.com/article/20090918/APA/909181353

 This time, the suspect wasn't called a suspect until he was arrested. But the last time a Yale student was killed near campus, James Van de Velde wasn't so fortunate.

From the start, he was the favorite candidate of Connecticut's New Haven police for the frenzied stabbing death of a young woman 11 years ago. Though the Yale lecturer was never charged and the case is still unsolved, the attention ruined his reputation, he says, and got him fired.

He says there's a reason investigators have been so tightlipped about the killing of Annie Le: They're afraid of making the same mistake twice.

"We don't want to destroy people's reputations," Police Chief James Lewis said earlier this week.

Lewis, who was hired last year and not involved in the 1998 case, was explaining why officers had put a lid on the murder investigation of Le, a 24-year-old doctoral student in pharmacology. On Thursday, police arrested co-worker Raymond Clark but said little about motive or evidence.

"Clearly, the chief was admitting that calling me and only me a suspect in the 1998 crime was a terrible mistake," Van de Velde (Van-duh-VELD) wrote this week in response to questions e-mailed by The Associated Press.

In 1998, Suzanne Jovin, a 21-year-old political science major from Germany, died after being attacked in a prosperous neighborhood north of the campus. No arrests have ever been made.

A second casualty of that case was the good name of Van de Velde, then an unmarried, 38-year-old former naval intelligence officer who, besides teaching, also served as Jovin's thesis adviser. Her subject was Osama bin Laden. Early on, authorities identified him as a suspect, though they never said what evidence, if any, fueled that belief.

He was hounded by national and local media. He had no alibi. He told police he had been home alone when Jovin was stabbed 17 times in the back and neck on a cold December night and left slumped on the curb of a residential street, three-fifths of a mile from Jovin's home.

"I wasn't a boyfriend, ex-husband, a work colleague. I had no argument with her," wrote Van de Velde. "My DNA was not at the scene. I was not seen at the scene."

Calls to Yale President Richard Levin and the campus public affairs office were not returned. Lewis said Friday that he had no knowledge of the previous investigation because he's only been on the job for a year.

Van de Velde has been fighting to redeem his reputation for years. What angers him most is that police apparently did not conduct DNA tests on evidence found on Jovin's body during the initial investigation.

Police have never commented on why they may have waited nearly three years to conduct DNA tests. Famed criminologist Dr. Henry Lee, at the time a Connecticut commissioner of public safety, immediately volunteered to send state forensics experts. The department declined his offer.

In 2000, at the insistence of Van de Velde and the Jovin family, Yale hired outsiders to review the case.

Private investigators pressed local police to test fingernail scrapings taken from Jovin's left hand. They also sought fingerprint testing for a Fresca bottle found near her body, which contained her fingerprint and a partial palm print from an unknown person. Neither results matched Van de Velde.

A match for the DNA under her nails has not been found.

After the probe, investigator Patrick Harnett, former commanding officer of the New York Police Department's major crime squad, called Van de Velde "Richard Jewell with a Ph.D." He was referring to the Georgia man whose life was scarred by police publicity linking him, incorrectly, to the 1996 Olympics bombing in Atlanta.

The university has not commented on its private investigation, or the results.

The only public mention of DNA analysis in the Jovin case came in 2001, when police asked friends and acquaintances to submit genetic samples for comparison against the unmatched DNA found in Jovin's nail scrapings.

Jovin's case was reopened in 2007 and assigned to four retired detectives in New Haven. No new evidence or leads have been reported. Assistant State's Attorney James Clark said neither he nor his investigators would comment.

A month after Jovin's murder, Van de Velde says Yale fired him - canceling his classes, refusing to renew his contract and telling him to stay away from students.

Angry and demoralized, he eventually left town and went to Washington, where he worked for three years as an analyst of weapons of mass destruction for the Defense Intelligence Agency. Later, he served in the State Department's diplomatic corps. He now works for a private firm, analyzing WMD and counterterrorism data.

"I was destroyed," Van de Velde wrote to the AP. "Naming someone Jovin knew served the interests of Yale, which wanted to dissuade the public that (she) was perhaps killed by a random act of violence," which would have raised controversial questions about security on campus and neighboring areas, he said.

He has filed a civil suit against the university and New Haven police, alleging his civil rights were violated.

Investigators said little when Le vanished two weeks ago. They said less after her body was found five days later, stuffed behind a basement wall in the campus laboratory where she worked. They said nothing about who crushed her throat.

Until Wednesday, when investigators called 24-year-old Raymond Clark "a person of interest." Detectives took DNA samples from the lab technician who worked with Le, and they noted he had scratches on his arms. He was questioned, then released.

"We don't want to be accused of tunnel vision," Lewis told reporters.

On Thursday, Clark officially became a suspect - he was arrested on murder charges and jailed on $3 million bail. The only hint at a motive came from a police statement describing Le's death as an act of "workplace violence."

So many parallels to the Kot-Coffey murder ...

Blazej Kot - Can't remember that he murdered his wife - programmed killer?

Mk-Ultra op? still seems to be a possability... Or was this a BioMed Hit with drugging of the patsy involved?
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10599871
It took less than two hours for Blazej Kot to go from doting newly-wed to bloodsoaked prime suspect in his wife's brutal murder....
...
the first thing he said to police was: Is my wife Caroline Coffey okay? Where is she?
...
What happened in those 105 missing minutes on June 2 will be the subject of a trial, likely to start in January.
...
Joch (attorney for Kot) will tell the murder trial that someone else murdered Coffey
...
He claims Kot was "emotionally out of control" because of his failure to protect his wife from a "bloody and murderous attack" at the hands of someone else.  "In this event, it would have been his inability to emotionally cope with that failure that drove him to his desperate flight and suicide attempt."

Just an update.

Former Yale lab tech appears in court, hearing set

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091006/ap_on_re_us/us_yale_killing;_ylt=Ar0q_2oMevSG7tRGn4NrXaF0fNdF

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A former Yale University lab technician charged with strangling a graduate student and stuffing her body behind a laboratory wall appeared in court Tuesday, but did not enter a plea to murder.

Twenty-four-year-old Raymond Clark III appeared in an orange jumpsuit in New Haven Superior Court. He's accused of strangling 24-year-old Annie Le (LAY') of Placerville, Calif. His lawyers say he eventually will plead not guilty.

The judge scheduled a probable cause hearing for Oct. 20, in which sides will have the right to introduce evidence and call witnesses. Under Connecticut law, defendants accused of murder have the right to the hearing within 60 days of their arrest to decide if the case will go forward.

The judge said he will also consider at that hearing whether to extend a sealing order on the police arrest affidavit in the case.

Le was a pharmacology graduate student who vanished Sept. 8 from a Yale medical lab building. Her body was found in the building five days later, on what was supposed to have been her wedding day.

Police have not talked about a motive in the slaying, largely because Clark has not talked to authorities. Investigators and Yale officials have called Le's death a case of workplace violence, but have not elaborated.

Co-workers have told police that Clark was controlling and viewed the laboratory and its mice as his personal fiefdom.

As a technician, Clark's duties included cleaning mouse cages and the floors of the lab.

Le's work involved experiments on mice that were part of research into enzymes that could have implications for treatment of cancer, diabetes and muscular dystrophy.

She was reported missing Sept. 8 from the medical school research building about a mile from Yale's main campus. Security cameras last recorded her entering the building that morning, and investigators were initally baffled that there was no record of her leaving.

Her body was found five days later in the basement laboratory in a wall chase — a hidden access that allows utility pipes and wires to run vertically between floors.

Investigators, who had been keeping around-the-clock survellieance of Clark, labeled him a person of interest two days later and got a court order to take forensic evidence from him and search his apartment. Clark was arrested Sept. 17 after DNA evidence linked him to Le's body.

He has been jailed since his arrest. A judge set his bond at $3 million

Something very odd happening at the most premier Universities' pathology departments:

Harvard: Lab Workers Poisoned By Tainted Coffee...
Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/25/harvard-lab-workers-poiso_n_333146.html

BOSTON — Six Harvard University medical researchers were poisoned in August after drinking coffee that was laced with a chemical preservative, according to university officials.

In an internal memo first reported in the Boston Herald's Sunday editions, the school said the coffee came from a machine near their lab that later tested positive for sodium azide, a common preservative used in labs.

The six reported symptoms after drinking the coffee Aug. 26, ranging from dizziness to ringing in the ears, and one passed out. They were treated at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and later released.

The memo, written by Daniel G. Ennis, executive dean for administration, and Richard M. Shea, associate dean for physical planning and facilities, does not say whether officials believe the poisoning was intentional.

"As always, we are mindful of the need to be diligent about laboratory safety and security and the importance of proper management of laboratory chemicals," the memo states.

"We are in the process of installing additional security cameras throughout our buildings, and we are strengthening the security systems that manage access to the laboratories during both normal business hours and off hours," it goes on to say.

The researchers, which include staff and students, all work in the Harvard Medical School's pathology department in its new Boston research building. They were using mice to investigate how diseases interact with the immune system.

Harvard spokesman David Cameron on Sunday said university police are investigating along with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Boston Public Health Commission.

"Essentially, there is an ongoing investigation of what appears to be a single isolated event," he said. "Because many details are unknown, (the medical school's) leadership is taking additional precautionary measures to help ensure the well-being of the community."

Cameron said as far as he knows the lab has not been a target of threats or animal-rights protests. He said the university delayed notifying the public about the incident because officials were unsure of what they were dealing with.

Once officials found out, they immediately began letting people know, he said.

"It wasn't until fairly recently that they were able to be 100 percent sure that this is what it is," he said.

Harvard police spokesman Steve Catalano would not say if authorities believe a crime was committed.

Hmm. Tainted coffee on August 26, and Le goes missing on September 8? Connected?

One question that comes to mind, Would spiking a drink with "Sodium Azide" be considered funny or a prank by these lab types? Like bartenders/servers and Visine. I'm sure lab personel have their own unique humor. Most likely though this is not some prank. Is that stuff lethal to humans? Curious how much of it would kill somebody. Hard to say why spike a community source versus putting it in an individual's coffee. Shotgun approach to mask the real target? All kinds of possibilities.

Updated:

 Decided before I posted the above I would take a look at this chemical, and from what the CDC is saying, this was no prank. That stuff is serious...

http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/sodiumazide/basics/facts.asp

Quote
Facts About Sodium Azide

What sodium azide is

--Sodium azide is a rapidly acting, potentially deadly chemical that exists as an odorless white solid.
 
--When it is mixed with water or an acid, sodium azide changes rapidly to a toxic gas with a pungent (sharp) odor. It also changes into a toxic gas when it comes in contact with solid metals (for example, when it is poured into a drain pipe containing lead or copper).
 
--The odor of the gas may not be sharp enough, however, to give people sufficient warning of the danger.

Where sodium azide is found and how it is used

--Sodium azide is best known as the chemical found in automobile airbags. An electrical charge triggered by automobile impact causes sodium azide to explode and release nitrogen gas inside the airbag.
 
--Sodium azide is used as a chemical preservative in hospitals and laboratories. Accidents have occurred in these settings. In one case, sodium azide was poured into a drain, where it exploded and the toxic gas was inhaled (breathed in).
 
--Sodium azide is used in agriculture (farming) for pest control.
 
--Sodium azide is also used in detonators and other explosives.
 
How you could be exposed to sodium azide

--Following release of sodium azide into water, you could be exposed to sodium azide by drinking the contaminated water.
 
--Following contamination of food with sodium azide, you could be exposed to sodium azide by eating the contaminated food.
 
--Following release of sodium azide into the air, you could be exposed by breathing in the dust or the gas that is formed.
 
--Sodium azide can also enter the body and cause symptoms through skin contact.
 
--An explosion involving sodium azide may cause burn injury as well as expose people to the toxic gas, hydrozoic acid.
 
--CDC has received no reports of sodium azide exposure following automobile airbag deployment.

How sodium azide works

--The seriousness of poisoning caused by sodium azide depends on the amount, route, and length of time of exposure, as well as the age and preexisting medical condition of the person exposed.
 
--Breathing the gas that is formed from sodium azide causes the most harm, but ingesting (swallowing) sodium azide can be toxic as well.
 
--The gas formed from sodium azide is most dangerous in enclosed places where the gas will be trapped. The toxic gas quickly disperses in open spaces, making it less harmful outdoors.
 
--The gas formed from sodium azide is less dense (lighter) than air, so it will rise.
 
--Sodium azide prevents the cells of the body from using oxygen. When this happens, the cells die.
 
--Sodium azide is more harmful to the heart and the brain than to other organs, because the heart and the brain use a lot of oxygen.
 
Immediate signs and symptoms of sodium azide exposure

--People exposed to a small amount of sodium azide by breathing it, absorbing it through their skin, or eating foods that contain it may have some or all of the following symptoms within minutes:
 
Rapid breathing
Restlessness
Dizziness
Weakness
Headache
Nausea and vomiting
Rapid heart rate
Red eyes (gas or dust exposure)
Clear drainage from the nose (gas or dust exposure)
Cough (gas or dust exposure)
Skin burns and blisters (explosion or direct skin contact)
 
Exposure to a large amount of sodium azide by any route may cause these other health effects as well:
 
Convulsions
Low blood pressure
Slow heart rate
Loss of consciousness
Lung injury
Respiratory failure leading to death
 
--Showing these signs and symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person has been exposed to sodium azide.
 
What the long-term health effects may be

Survivors of serious sodium azide poisoning may have heart and brain damage.

Tuesday, the former lab technician accused of killing Yale graduate student, Annie Le, is due in court for a probable cause hearing on Tuesday.

Clark is charged with murdering Annie in September and then stuffing her body behind a basement wall in the Yale lab building.

Annie was working on an advanced degree in pharmacology and was to be married on the Sunday her body was discovered.
Clark has not yet entered a plea in the case.

According to the News-Times, the media has requested all documents in the case be unsealed. However, prosecutors oppose such a move arguing the need to ensure a fair and impartial jury and that the privacy rights of Annie’s family should be protected.

How the hell can that happen?  With the assistance of the Law Enforcement and Yale the media has already convicted this guy.  The way they have planted the information in the nations brainwashing programs, it is forgone conclusion the man is guilty.  Those of us who know the truth and know to question everything, will be dismissed from the jury pool.

Isn't it odd that this case was "Newsworthy" for Nationwide 24/7 coverage up until evidence started to show that the pasty couldn't have acted alone. 

At that point it was dropped like a hot-rock by all.

The criminal investigation, and media have been shading things from day one.  The purpose of the Lab, it's research program, and now a majority of the evidence surrounding the murder are all under wraps for a very good reason... and it isn't to ensure a fair-trial.

Accused Annie Le killer Raymond Clark skips court to stay in cell
November 3, 2009 By MATTHEW CHAYES  matthew.chayes@newsday.com
http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/accused-annie-le-killer-raymond-clark-skips-court-to-stay-in-cell-1.1566135

The accused Yale killer  Raymond Clark III did not appear at a court hearing Tuesday at which a judge said he would decide later this week whether to unseal evidence authorities say proves Clark strangled Annie Le and hid her body in a laboratory wall.

In a jailhouse visit Tuesday, Clark and his public-defender attorney Joseph Lopez met for several hours, when Clark decided he'd stay in his cell rather than make the trip from the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution in South Suffield, Conn., Lopez said.

Clark, 24, has not entered a plea, but his lawyer says he will eventually plead not guilty. Clark has been jailed on a $3-million bond since being arrested Sept. 17 on a murder charge in the death of Annie Le, the Yale pharmacology graduate student whose slain body was found on what was to be the day of her Long Island wedding to a Huntington man.

"He's going along with our advice," Lopez told Judge Ronald D. Fasano, referring to the decision not to attend Superior Court in New Haven.

Fasano said his decision on whether to unseal the four arrest and search warrants - a decision in response to a motion filed by media organizations - would come this week.

The hearing Tuesday afternoon lasted less than 5 minutes.

The case was rescheduled for Dec. 21 at 2 p.m.

Judge to Decide This Week on Le Slaying Documents
Raymond Clark was arrested in September and has entered no plea

Annie Le’s body was found more than a month ago, stuffed inside the wall of a Yale University lab. Still, the man accused of killing her has entered no plea. The newest development is that Judge Roland Fasano expects to decide later this week on whether to unseal documents detailing the case against a former Yale employee accused of murdering graduate student Annie Le.

On Tuesday, Raymond Clark III's attorney appeared on his behalf in court in New Haven and Judge Fasano continued the case to Dec. 21.

Authorities found Le’s body on Sept. 13 in the basement of the Yale medical research building where she conducted research and Clark worked as a lab tech. She had been strangled.
 
The gruesome discovery was made on what was supposed to be her wedding day.

Clark was arrested on Sept. 17 and is being held in lieu of $3 million bail at MacDougal-Walker Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison in Suffield.
 
Several news organizations have asked the judge to unseal documents detailing the case, including the arrest and search warrants that have been sealed.
 
The prosecutor who opposed to the request cited privacy rights for Le’s family and the need to ensure an impartial jury.

A judge sealed details about the arrest and investigation upon Clark's arrest, and his attorneys have argued those records should remain sealed or their client won't be able to get a fair trial with an untainted jury

UPDATED: 2:38 pm EST November 3, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- A judge said he expects to rule later this week on whether to unseal documents detailing the case against a former Yale lab tech accused in the death of graduate student Annie Le.

Raymond Clark III, 24, is charged with murder in Le's death, but has not yet entered a plea.

His attorney appeared on his behalf Tuesday in court in New Haven, where Judge Roland Fasano continued the case to Dec. 21.

Le's body was found inside a wall in the Yale laboratory where both she and Clark worked. Her body was discovered five days after she disappeared, on her would-be wedding day.

On the day of Clark's arrest, a judge approved prosecutors' requests to seal the arrest affidavit for 14 days. Clark's attorneys then asked that the seal be extended, saying any information would hurt his chances of getting a fair trial. Clark's attorney wants the documents to remain sealed.

News organizations have asked Fasano to unseal documents detailing the case. Prosecutors in the case said Le's family would also like the records to remain sealed for privacy.

ANOTHER YALE STUDENT FOUND DEAD!

Long Island Yalie found dead in dorm
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/11/02/2009-11-02_li_yalie_found_dead_in_his_dorm.html
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Monday, November 2nd 2009, 4:00 AM

A 19-year-old Yale University student from Long Island was found dead Sunday by his roommates inside his dorm room, the school said.

Andre Narcisse, a sophomore from Roosevelt, was discovered unresponsive at about 11a.m. in his suite, said Tom Conroy, a Yale spokesman.

Emergency personnel couldn't revive him, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police found no evidence of foul play, Conroy said. Narcisse's body was sent to the state medical examiner's office for an autopsy.

The death comes less than two months after 24-year-old graduate student Annie Le was found strangled behind a wall in a Yale laboratory.

Lab tech Raymond Clark, 24, has been charged with Le's murder.

He is due back in court Tuesday.

What's going on here? Both the prosecution AND the defense want the records sealed? The Le family too? Because they want a fair trial? The day of the arrest they asked the records be sealed?

RED FLAG WARNING - These people are more interested in something besides a fair trial.

Cops Watched Ray Clark Scrub Floor Drain at Yale Murder Scene

Accused Yale murderer Ray Clark was seen by authorities moving a box of wipes to hide a blood spatter in the room where Yale lab tech Annie Le was killed, and he later got down on the floor in front of surprised investigators to scrub a drainage area with scouring pads.

The unusual behavior was part of the evidence police used to arrest Clark in September for the murder of Le just days before she was to get married.

The arrest warrant, released today, revealed evidence against Clark including a blood stained medical scrub found along with Clark's boots, that were marked with the letters "Ray-C." Clark's signature green pen was found with the victim's body, the document states.

In addition, Clark's DNA was found on items that were discovered with the body.

In his ruling releasing the warrants, Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano ordered that six segments of the warrants be blocked from public view because they contained information he determined was "inflammatory" and "unfairly prejudicial to the defendant."

Nevertheless, the warrant contained evidence of a very violent struggle between Le and her attacker.

How many "Lab Rat Technicians" have personalized pens?  This is a job that doesn't require much, and I'm under the impression that the pay matched the skill set needed.

her last entry was recorded 10:11 AM September 8th. They found her 4 days later even though the IDF Professor who has a record of sexually intimidating underlings, stealing over $800 Million, and lying under oath cancelled a class with her a few hours later?!?!?

Everyone was surprised that he cancelled the class as Annie checkedin with people like every hour. He whispered like 5 different things about vagrants in the area might have done something to her, she might be a runaway bride, there is no room for alarm, etc.

4 days and they knew exactly where she was the entire time.

4 days of media spin my Clint parroting Schlesinger saying she was a runaway bride.

4 days.

4 days they knew Schlessinger as the primary suspect.

4 days they knew the setting off of the steam alarm was very mysterious.

4 days they knew everything, but they had to wait.

Hmmmm wasnt this ahead of schedule....? Want the plan for this to happen on 9/11 and then say the killer was a member of Al-Qaida  Undecided

there was no plan, it seemed to be a spontaneous move by Schlessinger that all his buddies had to help cover up.

if it was planned ahead of time, we probably never would know one thing about it.

Schlessinger Lost Drug Patent Case

Another case involving Schlessinger did go to trial.

Imclone is the biotech company best known for a stock collapse that helped land founder Sam Waksal and his Martha Stewart in prison. The company was also the center of a court case that pitted three distinguished scientists from Israel’s Weizmann Institute against their ex-colleague Joseph Schlessinger in a patent dispute involving the cancer drug Erbitux. The three scientists essentially accused Schlessinger of stealing the patent.

In September 2006 U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald ruled against Schlessinger and in favor of the three scientists who were declared the true inventors of Erbitux. While Schlessinger testified at trial that he developed the “only unique material” during experimentation, the judge disagreed, saying “Schlessinger in no way directed the research of the Weizmann scientists and had absolutely no interaction with them during the course of their experimentation. The judge went on to say that the Weizmann scientists were not included as inventors on the patent even though they conducted all of the experiments relating to mixing the antibody and chemotherapy drugs.

Professor Michael Sela, one of the plaintiffs and an ex-colleague of Schlessinger said after the verdict, ”I don’t mind if I don’t take a patent, unless it’s stolen from me. Then I have to react. At the beginning, when I first saw it, I was in a state of shock. I mean, money is not important, but my name and my science, my honor demanded I should be replaced.” Senility?

[1]
Did Joseph Schlessinger lie during his patent testimony?

"In an unequivocal opinion, U.S. district court judge Naomi Reice Buchwald ruled that a key patent protecting Erbitux, ImClone's lucrative cancer drug and only product, belongs to Israel's Weizmann Institute and not to ImClone, and that "the balance of proof wasn't even close."

The Judge repeatedly assailed the testimony of Joseph Schlessinger found Joseph Schlessinger's sworn testimony "not credible" "contorted" and "strained." [2]

Personal experience: He actually refers to himself as "a Genius in Pharmacology" around Yale's campus. This humiliating lawsuit happened in 2006 and it has yet to bring his colossal arrogance down even one notch.

I believe, and hope to see this comment section fill up with others' opinion's in the near future...
Schlessinger Sexual Harassmment

IS the Joseph Schlessinger sex harassment full transcript available anywhere under a name other than the obvious? I could only find small clip of it when I googled. I wish I had saved the full rendition.

WOW! This just gets "better and better".


Joseph Schlessinger and his "unclean hands"

In a lengthy, 140-page opinion the court found the Yeda scientists had proved they were entitled to sole inventorship of the patent.

"We find Schlessinger’s account of this conversation not credible for several reasons. First, nearly twenty years have passed since the conversation occurred, such that we doubt Schlessinger remembers its details, especially considering the contorted testimony Schlessinger offered on cross-examination, in which he seemingly attempted to “remember” those details that would bolster defendants’ case." [3]

ImClone is the company whose founder, Sam Waksal, is serving a prison sentence for the stick scandal which involved tipping off Martha Stewart to SELL after hearing Joseph Schlessinger's thinly-disguised lie-filled testimony. This is a complete fabrication, by the way.
OK, So what?

OK, so what does this have to do with the homicide case? Quite a gravy train.

We have an arrogant, womanizing, greedy scholar of considerable pharmacology talents exposed for what he is -- the same thing half his colleagues are.

Half his colleagues? Really??

BY ALL MEANS POST THE EVIDENCE HERE!!!!


Website Which Doesn't Include Mr Schlessinger's name

If his only defense was to claim intellectual property due to the fact that the website contained his name, the question this begs is why hasn't the availability of a website that doesn't contain his name but the same information been, publicized?
Joseph Schlessinger Wikipedia entry

Hillhealth, an OBVIOUS handle for Joseph Schlessinger is vigilantly editing out anything negative on his wikipedia entry, as can be seen in the page history... Its a black-on-white example of Joseph Schlessinger censoring...


"Wikpedia: Free for a reason(tm)!!"
Wikipedia & Joseph Schlessinger

Yeah; Joseph Schlessinger has deleted all references to his "sworn" testimony during his ImClone hearing in his Wikipedia entry.
"From the judge's perspective, the balance of proof wasn't even close. As she put it, "The Weizmann scientists have presented documentary evidence substantiating each step of the inventive process, in stark contrast to the dearth of evidence supporting [Joseph Schlessinger's] version of events." She went on to describe the plaintiffs' corroborating evidence as "overwhelming," and of "extraordinary breadth."
By contrast, she repeatedly assailed the testimony of Schlessinger, who testified that he'd been nominated for a Nobel Prize and is now the chair of pharmacology at Yale University's School Of Medicine. "Schlessinger's explanation... can most generously be described as strained," Judge Buchwald wrote in her opinion.
Elsewhere, she commented that "This exchange represents one of many instances in which Schlessinger exhibited great reluctance to acknowledge a fact that he perceived to be injurious to the defendants' case." In various places, her opinion dismissed his testimony as "not credible," "contorted," "incredible" and "wholly unsubstantiated by any contemporaneous records." (At deadline, Schlessinger had not replied to a phone call and e-mail requesting comment.)"

...maybe Schlessinger thinks they'll nominate him for a nobel prize again based on Wikpedia and NOT the ACTUAL facts...

http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/19/news/companies/pluggedin_varchaver.fortune/index.htm
Truth about wikipedia and schlessinger

If schlessinger is editing his own wikipedia page, why have wikipedia admins sided with him (I just looked). Seems like someone's trying to make him look bad. Read the real stories, people, not the crap that's written above (probly by the same person who keeps hacking him on wikpedia).
the only 'truth' you'll find in wikipedia about Joseph Schlessinger is in the deleted page history. Joseph Schlessinger edited out EVERYTHING negative about himself under the handle 'hillhealth' (whatever that means)....The wikipedia page is essentially his CV. All edits made by ONE individual (hillhealth) which is more than likely Joseph Schlessinger. Wikipedia is HEAVILY biased, and (hopefully) anyone with 1/4th of a brain knows this. Hence the existence of this site...You cant censor your past here Mr. Schlessinger.

Of course - this is so very unbiased. Can you remember the name of the single editor on wikipedia. The only editor. The one editor who inserted the same half-truth negatives as she is plastering here.


Perhaps Wikipedia needs an entry about Joseph Schlessinger's WIPO lawsuit or Joseph Schlessinger's Wikileaks page? Probably not anytime soon, because Joseph schlessinger and his enormous clout got the opposing editors banned and Hillhealth has YET to say anything negative, because hillhealth *IS* Joseph Schlessinger...


Right... so thank goodness for Wikileaks!!!!!!1.0.22.53 03:33, 7 October 2009 (BST) Yes, crap, isn't it (moron).
Yale Pharmacology

A minor detail, but important for credibility: WIPO is not a court, it is an international organization that became affiliated with the UN in the 1970s. It performs many services, the most important of which is to administer approximately 30 international agreements on intellectual property. It does have an arbitration and mediation of disputes section, but this is minor. It is not affiliated with WTO. In fact with regard to intellectual property, the section of the WTO's World Trade Agreement of 1995 that deals with Intellectual property issues (TRIPS) was added to WTA because it was felt by the US that WIPO was too much on the side of 'developing countries' (as they then were).


Joseph Schlesinger's Wikipedia entry is BULLSHIT

...Speaking of a 'gravy train'... Its pretty apparent, according to the Wikipedia page's history that Joseph Schlessinger edits his own wikipedia page under the alias "Hillhealth." Hillhealth mysteriously has an in-depth knowledge of Joseph Schlessinger publicly known accomplishments but has YET to say ANYTHING negative, because Hillhealth *IS* Joseph Schlessinger...
Meanwhile, Mary Beth Garceau laughingly uses the alias "Truther Truther" to focus attention on dubious half-truths about him. Talk about a small mind.
talk about a fat head...and fat everything else!! Smiley as for the half-truths, you had better take that up with Federal Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald, CNN, USAtoday, The Yale Daily News and CBS news. Did they all lie too?? Always the victim, eh Schlessinger? Try introspection...and not being such a despicable jerk and a flagrant liar.

It's another example of treating Joseph Schlessinger with rather flagrant dishonesty. Why wouldn't Schlessinger just use his own name while censoring I mean EDITING his own page? See the page's EXTENSIVE history and judge for yourself...
just who is Truther Truther (Ha!) trying to kid?
hillhealth is the one DELETING the information from his WP page because hillhealth is joseph schlessinger. Who are you trying to fool? Anyone using google for 60 seconds knows the truth about you and your LIES on campus and in court.
Bye bye nobel prize-- you will never win by stealing and lying (thank goodness!!)... NEXT: Bye bye Yale?Huh

Hey look, it's the Mark Furhman bloody glove method again...

No video, no witnesses, no other information about the crime scene except 3 itms out of a thousand.

patsy has not been seen or heard  since he was tagged and bagged.

this is starting to look like a paperclipped nazi show trial...




Blood, DNA Link Suspect to Yale Student
http://crime.about.com/b/2009/11/25/blood-dna-link-suspect-to-yale-student.htm
Wednesday November 25, 2009

Blood and DNA evidence links a lab technician to a slain Yale University medical student, according to details in an arrest warrant issued in the case. DNA from Raymond Clark and victim Annie Le were found on a sock hidden in the ceiling near where Le's body was found, the warrant said.

Le, a pharmacology doctoral student, disappeared from the research lab September 8.

Investigators believe that Le was killed in a dispute with Clark over how the animals in the research lab were being treated. Clark, who was not a Yale student, cared for the animals in the lab.

According to the warrant for his arrest:

Clark and Le's DNA were found on a sock in the ceiling near her body.

A bloodstained rubber glove and a pair of stained work boots with "Ray-C" on them were found in another part of the ceiling.

Clark attempted the block from the view of a Yale police officer a bloodstained box in the lab.

Clark was seen trying to clean the basement floor with steel wool, although the floor appeared to be clean.

In releasing the arrest warrant to the media, Judge Ronald D. Fasano did not make public all of the details. He redacted those he judges to be "inflammatory, irrelevant and invasive."

Stuffed Inside the Wall

Le disappeared on Tuesday during the week she was scheduled to be married on Sunday. Surveillance video showed her entering the research building that day, September 8, but none of the 75 cameras in and near the building showed her leaving.

On Sunday, the day she was scheduled to be married, her body was found stuffed inside a wall in the research building. It was in an area where cables run from floor to floor in Yale's Amistad lab building.

An autopsy report showed Le was strangled the day she disappeared.

Attorney says DNA sought from Yale suspect fiancee
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_yale_killing

By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN and STEPHANIE REITZ, Associated Press Writers John Christoffersen And Stephanie Reitz, Associated Press Writers   
Wed Dec 2, 10:38 pm ET

HARTFORD, Conn. – An attorney for the fiancee of a Yale University lab technician charged with killing a graduate student said Wednesday he's been told authorities are seeking a sample of her DNA.

Robert Berke, attorney for Jennifer Hramadka, told The Associated Press that it's unclear why authorities want her DNA. He says he was told in September after Annie Le was killed that she is not a suspect.

"I've been advised that they're seeking a sample of her DNA," Berke said.

Hramadka's boyfriend, Raymond Clark III, is charged with killing the 24-year-old Le five days before Le's planned wedding in September.

Berke said investigators wanted to interview Hramadka shortly after the crime, but the interview did not take place. He declined to comment on his reaction to the move.

A prosecutor and police declined to comment.

Clark and Hramadka were seen leaving a coffee shop in a car in which "blood-like stains" were found hours after Le was killed, according to search warrant affidavits unsealed Wednesday.

New Haven police said in September that they didn't expect to make more arrests in Le's killing.

Le's body was found stuffed behind a research lab wall in September on the day she was supposed to get married on Long Island. Autopsy results show Le was strangled, but the motive remains unclear.

Experts said investigators may seek someone's DNA to exclude him or her as a source of the DNA that was collected as evidence.

"It sounds like they have some DNA they don't know who it belongs to,
" said Dr. Bruce Goldberger, director of toxicology at the University of Florida. "They're trying to rule her in or rule her out as a contributor to that DNA."

Dr. John Howard, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, cautioned against drawing conclusions about the move. He said investigators might want to address any claims or anticipated claims by the defense, such as that blood found was the suspect's fiancee's from a nosebleed.

Two days before Clark was arrested, investigators said they found blood "in plain view" on the kitchen floor near the entrance to his apartment, according to the search warrants. The warrants do not indicate the source of the blood found in Clark's apartment.

Authorities took plastic door panels and carpeting with "blood-like stains" from the Taurus in which Clark was riding in the hours after Le's disappearance.

Clark sent e-mails to Le "in the recent past," the affidavits said. Her e-mail address was found in a laboratory locker labeled "Ray," the documents said.

Clark has not yet entered a plea. His public defender, Joe Lopez, has said he intends to plead not guilty.

The affidavits show that police searched for evidence in Clark's home, two cars that he used and numerous lockers in the laboratory building where Le's body was found. They show investigators also sought samples of Clark's body hair, including pubic hair.

Quinnipiac University law professor Jeffrey Meyer, a former federal prosecutor, said hair samples could help establish a link to hair found on the victim's body.

"It could go to suggest there was a sexual assault of some kind," Meyer said. "At this point, prosecutors don't want to rule anything out or leave any stone unturned."

The suspect, the affidavits said, "has gone to great lengths to conceal evidence in multiple locations in unusual places."

Investigators found a white rag, tweezers, scissors, a screwdriver and several plastic tubes in a clogged drain pipe in the building where Le's body was found, the affidavits said.

Portions of the affidavits released Wednesday were blacked out.

Police had previously revealed that they discovered other items linking Clark to Le's death, including a green-ink pen under Le's body with her blood and Clark's DNA. Police have said Clark signed into the secure building with a green pen on Sept. 8, the day Le disappeared.

They had also said DNA from Le and Clark was on a bloody sock found hidden in a ceiling. Elsewhere in the building, they found a pair of work boots labeled "Ray-C" that had blood-like stains on them, and a hospital scrub shirt with blood-like stains that was similar to the shirt Clark wore that day, police had previously said.

In arrest warrant affidavits released last month, Clark told investigators that he never socialized with Le or had contact with her outside of work. He told investigators that he knew Le for about four months, according to court papers.

Clark told police that Le left the building 15 minutes before him, carrying her notebook and two bags of mouse food. An extensive search of the crime scene failed to locate Le's notebook or her shoes.

Court papers previously released describe a bloody crime scene and Clark's efforts to scrub floors.

Investigators say Clark tried to hide a box of Wipe-Alls that later was found to have traces of Le's blood.

(Huh? how the hell did they know this? This is such a fricking setup for a patsy... they're working very hard to CREATE evidence..)

Investigators uncovered "a possible medium velocity blood-like spray pattern" on the wall that tested positive for blood and showed apparent efforts to clean the blood off the wall.

The blood at the scene suggests there was a struggle, experts said, noting the scratches on Clark's body and the surgical gloves Le was wearing that left her thumb exposed.

Mike - that article was the only one I've found so far in December... they're still trying to lay out the frame to get a conviction.

Any more insight into this aspect of the investigation, Sane. I think you're right, if this is why then this is a MASSIVE (one of many since 9-11) cover up, live.

This is a huge rabbit hole and many have expounded on the very real possibility that she was able to blow the entire Osama Bin Laden BS WIDE OPEN. Perhaps just as Annie Le was about to blow the entire Swine Flu BS and Cancer BS wide open!

Profession   Economist


James Rodney Schlesinger (born February 15, 1929) was United States Secretary of Defense from 1973 to 1975 under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He became America's first Secretary of Energy under Jimmy Carter.

While Secretary of Defense, he opposed amnesty for draft dodgers, and pressed for development of more sophisticated nuclear weapon systems. Additionally, his support for the A-10 and the lightweight fighter program (later the F-16) helped ensure that they were carried to completion.Contents


[edit]
Early life and career

Schlesinger was born in New York City, the son of Rae, a Russian Jewish immigrant, and Julius Schlesinger, an Austrian Jew. He was educated at Horace Mann School and Harvard University, where he earned a B.A. (1950), M.A. (1952), and Ph.D. (1956) in economics. Between 1955 and 1963 he taught economics at the University of Virginia and in 1960 published The Political Economy of National Security. In 1963 he moved to the Rand Corporation, where he worked until 1969, in the later years as director of strategic studies.
[edit]
Nixon Administration
 
Then Chairman Schlesinger with Nixon

In 1969 Schlesinger joined the Nixon administration as assistant director of the Bureau of the Budget, devoting most of his time to Defense matters. In 1971 President Nixon appointed Schlesinger a member of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and designated him as chairman. Serving in this position for about a year and a half, Schlesinger instituted extensive organizational and management changes in an effort to improve the AEC's regulatory performance.
[edit]
Director of Central Intelligence (1973)

On February 2, 1973 he became Director of Central Intelligence, after Richard Helms, the previous director, had been fired for his refusal to block the Watergate investigation. Schlesinger's first words upon becoming DCI were, reportedly, "I'm here to make sure you don't screw Richard Nixon." Although his CIA service was short, barely six months, it was stormy as he again undertook comprehensive organizational and personnel changes. He became so unpopular at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia that a security camera had to be installed opposite his official portrait because of fears that it would be vandalized. By this time he had a reputation as a tough, forthright, and outspoken administrator.
[edit]
Secretary of Defense (1973–1975)

Schlesinger left the CIA to become Secretary of Defense on July 2, aged 44. Despite his relative youth, given his academic and government credentials he appeared exceptionally well-qualified for the post. As a university professor, researcher at Rand, and government official in three agencies, he had acquired an impressive background in national security affairs.
[edit]
Nuclear strategy

Shortly after assuming office, Schlesinger outlined the basic objectives that would guide his administration: maintain a "strong defense establishment"; "assure the military balance so necessary to deterrence and a more enduring peace"; obtain for members of the military "the respect, dignity and support that are their due"; assume "an . . . obligation to use our citizens' resources wisely"; and "become increasingly competitive with potential adversaries . . . . We must not be forced out of the market on land, at sea, or in the air. Eli Whitney belongs to us, not to our competitors." In particular, Schlesinger saw a need in the post-Vietnam era to restore the morale and prestige of the military services; modernize strategic doctrine and programs; step up research and development; and shore up a DoD budget that had been declining since 1968.

Analyzing strategy, Schlesinger maintained that the theory and practice of the 1950s and 1960s had been overtaken by events, particularly the rise of the Soviet Union to virtual nuclear parity with the United States and the effect this development had on the concept of deterrence. Schlesinger believed that "deterrence is not a substitute for defense; defense capabilities, representing the potential for effective counteraction, are the essential condition of deterrence." He had grave doubts about the assured destruction strategy, which relied on massive nuclear attacks against an enemy's urban-industrial areas. Credible strategic nuclear deterrence, the secretary felt, depended on fulfilling several conditions: maintaining essential equivalence with the Soviet Union in force effectiveness; maintaining a highly survivable force that could be withheld or targeted against an enemy's economic base in order to deter coercive or desperation attacks against U.S. population or economic targets; establishing a fast-response force that could act to deter additional enemy attacks; and establishing a range of capabilities sufficient to convince all nations that the United States was equal to its strongest competitors.

To meet these needs, Schlesinger built on existing ideas in developing a flexible response nuclear strategy, which, with the President's approval, he made public by early 1974. The United States, Schlesinger said, needed the ability, in the event of a nuclear attack, to respond so as to "limit the chances of uncontrolled escalation" and "hit meaningful targets" without causing widespread collateral damage. The nation's assured destruction force would be withheld in the hope that the enemy would not attack U.S. cities. In rejecting assured destruction, Schlesinger quoted President Nixon: "Should a President, in the event of a nuclear attack, be left with the single option of ordering the mass destruction of enemy civilians, in the face of the certainty that it would be followed by the mass slaughter of Americans?"

With this approach Schlesinger moved to a partial counterforce policy, emphasizing Soviet military targets such as ICBM missile installations, avoiding initial attacks on population centers, and minimizing unintended collateral damage. He explicitly disavowed any intention to acquire a destabilizing first-strike capability against the USSR. But he wanted "an offensive capability of such size and composition that all will perceive it as in overall balance with the strategic forces of any potential opponent."

Because he regarded conventional forces as an equally essential element in the deterrence posture of the United States, Schlesinger wanted to reverse what he perceived as a gradual downward trend in conventional force strength. He pointed out that because Soviet nuclear capabilities had reached approximate parity with the United States, the relative contribution to deterrence made by U.S. strategic forces had inevitably declined. One of the missions of conventional forces, he noted, was to deter or defeat limited threats.

In this vein Schlesinger devoted much attention to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, citing the need to strengthen its conventional capabilities. He rejected the old assumption that NATO did not need a direct counter to Warsaw Pact conventional forces because it could rely on tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, noting that the approximate nuclear parity between the United States and the Soviets in the 1970s made this stand inappropriate. He also rejected the argument that NATO could not afford a conventional counterweight to Warsaw Pact forces. In his discussions with NATO leaders, Schlesinger promoted the concept of burden-sharing, stressing the troubles that the United States faced in the mid-1970s because of an unfavorable balance of international payments. He urged qualitative improvements in NATO forces, including equipment standardization, and an increase in defense spending by NATO governments of up to five percent of their gross national product.

During President Nixon's last days in the White House during the Watergate crisis, when the President's mental stability was doubted by some, Schlesinger is thought to have instructed the Joint Chiefs of Staff to check with him before carrying out any of Nixon's orders regarding nuclear weapons. He also drew up contingency plans for an emergency deployment of the 82nd Airborne to Washington D.C. in the event of Nixon refusing to step down in the event of impeachment and usurping of the marines.[1]
[edit]
Yom Kippur War and Cyprus crisis

Schlesinger had an abiding interest in strategic theory, but he also had to deal with a succession of immediate crises that tested his administrative and political skills. In October 1973, three months after he took office, Arab countries launched a surprise attack on Israeli occupied territories and started the Yom Kippur War. A few days after the war started, with Israel not faring as well as expected militarily, the Soviets resupplying some Arab countries and the Israeli government having authorized the use and assembly of nuclear weapons,[2], the United States began an overt operation to airlift materiel to Israel. As Schlesinger explained, the initial U.S. policy to avoid direct involvement rested on the assumption that Israel would win quickly. But when it became clear that the Israelis faced more formidable military forces than anticipated, and could not meet their own resupply arrangements, the United States took up the burden. Schlesinger rejected charges that the Defense Department delayed the resupply effort to avoid irritating the Arab states and that he had had a serious disagreement over this matter with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Eventually the combatants agreed to a cease-fire, but not before the Soviet Union threatened to intervene on the Arab side, because of Israeli advances after the agreed-upon cease-fire,[3] and the United States declared a higher level worldwide alert of its forces.

Another crisis flared in July 1974 within the NATO alliance when Turkish forces, concerned about the long-term lack of safety for the minority Turkish community, invaded Cyprus after the Cypriot National Guard, supported by the government of Greece, overthrew President Archbishop Makarios. When the fighting stopped, the Turks held the northern portion of country and about 40 percent of the island. Turkey's military action caused controversy in the United States, because of protests and lobbying by supporters of the Greek Cypriot side and, officially, because Turkish forces used some U.S.-supplied military equipment intended solely for NATO purposes. Schlesinger felt the Turks had overstepped the bounds of legitimate NATO interests in Cyprus and suggested that the United States might have to reexamine its military aid program to Turkey. During this time, President Gerald R. Ford had succeeded Nixon after his resignation; eventually Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger made it clear with two presidential vetoes that they favored continued military assistance to Turkey as a valued NATO ally, but Congress overrode both vetoes and in December 1974 prohibited such aid, which instituted an arms embargo that lasted five years.
[edit]
Indochina

The last phase of the Indochina conflict occurred during Schlesinger's tenure. Although all U.S. combat forces had left South Vietnam in the spring of 1973, the United States continued to maintain a military presence in other areas of Southeast Asia. Some senators criticized Schlesinger and questioned him sharply during his confirmation hearings in June 1973 after he stated that he would recommend resumption of U.S. bombing in North Vietnam and Laos if North Vietnam launched a major offensive against South Vietnam. However, when the North Vietnamese did begin an offensive early in 1975, the United States could do little to help the South Vietnamese, who collapsed completely as the North Vietnamese entered Saigon in late April. Schlesinger announced early in the morning of 29 April 1975 the evacuation from Saigon by helicopter of the last U.S. diplomatic, military, and civilian personnel.

Only one other notable event remained in the Indochina drama. In May 1975 forces of the Communist Cambodian government boarded and captured the crew of the Mayaguez, an unarmed U.S.-registered freighter. The United States bombarded military and fuel installations on the Cambodian mainland while a battalion of Marines landed by helicopter on an offshore island to rescue the crew. The 39 captives were retrieved, but the operation cost the lives of 41 U.S. military personnel. Nevertheless, the majority of the American people seemed to approve of the administration's decisive action.
[edit]
Defense budget

Unsurprisingly, given his determination to build up U.S. strategic and conventional forces, Schlesinger devoted much time and effort to the Defense budget. Even before becoming secretary, in a speech in San Francisco in September 1972, he warned that it was time "to call a halt to the self-defeating game of cutting defense outlays, this process, that seems to have become addictive, of chopping away year after year." Shortly after he took office, he complained about "the post-war follies" of Defense budget-cutting. Later he outlined the facts about the DoD budget: In real terms it had been reduced by one-third since FY 1968; it was one-eighth below the pre-Vietnam War FY 1964 budget; purchases of equipment, consumables, and R&D were down 45 percent from the wartime peak and about $10 billion in constant dollars below the prewar level; Defense now absorbed about 6 percent of the gross national product, the lowest percentage since before the Korean War; military manpower was at the lowest point since before the Korean War; and Defense spending amounted to about 17 percent of total national expenditures, the lowest since before the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. Armed with these statistics, and alarmed by continuing Soviet weapon advances, Schlesinger became a vigorous advocate of larger DoD budgets. But he had little success. For FY 1975, Congress provided TOA of $86.1 billion, compared with $81.6 billion in FY 1974; for FY 1976, the amount was $95.6 billion, an increase of 3.4 percent, but in real terms slightly less than it had been in FY 1955.
[edit]
Dismissal as Secretary of Defense

Schlesinger's insistence on higher defense budgets, his disagreements within the administration and with Congress on this issue, and his differences with Secretary of State Kissinger all contributed to his dismissal from office by President Ford in November 1975. Kissinger strongly supported the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks process, while Schlesinger wanted assurances that arms control agreements would not put the United States in a strategic position inferior to the Soviet Union. The secretary's harsh criticism of some congressional leaders dismayed President Ford, who was more willing than Schlesinger to compromise on the Defense budget. On 2 November 1975, the president dismissed Schlesinger and made other important personnel changes. Kissinger lost his position as special assistant to the President for national security affairs but remained as secretary of state. Schlesinger left office on 19 November 1975, explaining his departure in terms of his budgetary differences with the White House.

The unreported, but important, main reason behind Schlesinger's dismissal, though, was his insubordination toward President Ford. During the Mayaguez incident, Ford ordered several retaliatory strikes against the Cambodians. Schlesinger told Ford the strikes were carried out, but Ford later learned that Schlesinger, who disagreed with the order, had none of them carried out. Ford let the incident go, but when Schlesinger committed further insubordination on other matters, Ford finally fired him. This is all reported in Bob Woodward's 1999 book, Shadow.

In spite of the controversy surrounding both his tenure and dismissal, Schlesinger was by most accounts an able secretary of defense. A serious and perceptive thinker on nuclear strategy, he was determined that the United States not fall seriously behind the Soviet Union in conventional and nuclear forces and devoted himself to modernization of defense policies and programs. He got along well with the military leadership because he proposed to give them more resources, consulted with them regularly, and shared many of their views. Because he could be blunt in his opinions and did not enjoy the personal rapport with legislators that prior Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird had, his relations with Congress were often strained. A majority of its members may have approved Schlesinger's strategic plans, but they kept a tight rein on the money for his programs. As for the Pentagon bureaucracy, Schlesinger generally left its management to Deputy Secretary of Defense William P. Clements.
[edit]
Secretary of Energy (1977-79)
 
Schlesinger while serving as Energy Secretary

After leaving the Pentagon, Schlesinger wrote and spoke forcefully about national security issues, especially the Soviet threat and the need for the United States to maintain adequate defenses. When Jimmy Carter became President in January 1977 he appointed Schlesinger, a Republican, as his special adviser on energy[4] and subsequently as the first Secretary of Energy[4] in October 1977. He launched the Department of Energy's Carbon Dioxide Effects and Assessment Program shortly after the creation of that department in 1977. Secretary Schlesinger also oversaw the integration of the energy powers of more than 50 agencies, such as the Federal Energy Administration and the Federal Power Commission.[4] In July 1979, Carter replaced him as part of a broader Cabinet shakeup.[4]
[edit]
Post-government activities

After leaving the Energy Department he resumed his writing and speaking career and was employed as a senior adviser to Lehman Brothers, Kuhn, Loeb Inc., of New York City. On June 11, 2002 he was appointed by U.S. President George W. Bush to the Homeland Security Advisory Council. He also serves as a consultant to the United States Department of Defense, and is a member of the Defense Policy Board. On January 5, 2006, he participated in a meeting at the White House of former Secretaries of Defense and State to discuss United States foreign policy with Bush administration officials. On January 31, 2006 he was appointed by the Secretary of State to be a member of the Arms Control and Nonproliferation Advisory Board. On May 2, 2006, he was named to be a co-chairman of a Defense Science Board study on DOD Energy Strategy.

On June 5, 2008, Defense Secretary Robert Gates appointed Schlesinger to head a task force to ensure the "highest levels" of control over nuclear weapons. The purpose of the review is to prevent a repeat of recent incidents where control was lost over components of nuclear weapons, and even nuclear weapons themselves.

Schlesinger is currently the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The MITRE Corporation; a Senior Advisor for Lehman Brothers; on the advisory board of The National Interest; a Director of BNFL, Inc., Peabody Energy, Sandia Corporation, Seven Seas Petroleum Company, Chairman of the Executive Committee of The Nixon Center. He is also on the Advisory Board of GeoSynFuels, LLC. He has written a number of opinion pieces on global warming, expressing a strongly skeptical position.

Schlesinger is also aware of the peak oil issue and supports facing it. In the keynote speech at a 2007 conference hosted by the Association for the Study of Peak Oil in Cork, Schlesinger said that oil industry executives now privately concede that the world faces an imminent oil production peak.[5][6]

On June 5, 2008, US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced that he had asked Schlesinger to lead a senior-level task force to recommend improvements in the stewardship and operation of nuclear weapons, delivery vehicles and sensitive components by the US DoD following the 2007 United States Air Force nuclear weapons incident. Members of the task force came from the Defense Policy Board and the Defense Science Board.[7]

From the article:

    King said the family is questioning how Yale police handled a fire alarm that occurred at the research center the day that Le disappeared.

    "We're trying to determine right now, did the killing occur after the fire alarm? Did anybody from Yale security respond to the fire alarm to check any of the rooms? Were they looking around for her? Why wasn't anybody helping her when this was happening?" King said.

Good for them! I'm glad her family is doing this.

    In addition, he said, the family is upset about what it perceives as a delay by Yale in the investigation of Le's disappearance.

    "She was a missing person and as of right now, the family does not feel they responded fast enough to start the investigation," King said.

There is so much bs in this pseudo investigation - I hope they can persevere and get all the facts: the videotapes from the advanced video surveillance cameras in the building, including all the pass key info for people who came and went from the building on that day. That is a bioweapons laboratory and we KNOW they have very advanced security and tracking people's movements in the building would be of primary importance when dealing with biological agents.
This case stinks to high heaven.


    He also said that the family was insulted by what King called "a minimal reward," believed to be about $15,000, that Yale offered for information about Le's disappearance. "They were not happy with that," King said.

Well, on the size of the reward... how much is $15,000 to Yale University?

Here's a bit of info from The Yale Endowment 2009 Annual Report:
http://www.yale.edu/investments/Yale_Endowment_09.pdf

Over the past ten years,
the Endowment grew
from $7.2 billion to $16.3 billion.


With annual net investment returns of 11.8 percent, the
Endowment’s performance exceeded its benchmark and outpaced institutional
fund indices. The Yale Endowment’s twenty-year record of 13.4
percent per annum produced a 2009 Endowment value of nearly seven
times that of 1989. Yale’s long-term record results from disciplined and
diversified asset allocation policies and superior active management.

So... with an endowment of $16.3 billion,
they offered a $15,000 reward for Annie Le's murderer.

Insulting is not even close to the meaning of that amount.. that's how they value someone like Annie Le. Apparently if you haven't had your penis tied with string while lying in a coffin in the Skull and Bones tomb, you're not worth much to Yale University.
