>Secret Government Study Reveals Massive Y2K Problems in American Cities
>
>How many days could New York City survive without water and sewer
>services? How long would it take to evacuate eight million people in
>the dead of winter? Would thousands die in the process? Tens of
>thousands? More? When would the rioting and looting begin? How many
>National Guard troops would it take to control the largest city in the
>nation? What unthinkable devastation would be wrought on the global
>financial system? How might our enemies seize on the ensuing panic and
>confusion?
>
>Are these the crazed speculations of a Y2K alarmist? Not if you know
>what the US Navy and Marine Corps know. According to a June 1999 report
>titled, "Master Utility List", they believe "total failure is likely"
>for New York City's water and sewer systems because of Y2K problems.
>
>And they are holding this information back.
>
>The Navy Department assessment is not limited to New York City; it
>covers all their shore facilities in the world - nearly 500 locations.
>The results are horrifying. They expect more than 26 million American
>citizens in 125 cities to be without electricity, water, gas or sewer
>services next January. Many more would be affected in foreign
>countries. London, England for example is expected to experience
>failures of all four types of utilities. Many of the people impacted by
>these failures would be military personnel and their families.
>
>And the Navy Department isn't telling anyone.
>
>Forty-five of the cities named in the survey have population greater
>than 100,000. Eight of the nation's dozen largest metropolitan areas
>are affected. Here's what the Navy expects:
>
>Dallas - no water.
>Washington DC and Philadelphia - no gas
>Baltimore, Houston, New York and Miami - no water or sewer.
>Atlanta - no water or gas
>San Antonio - no water or electricity.
>Fort Worth and New Orleans - no water, gas or sewer services.
>
>And the Navy Department is saying nothing.
>
>Cities at Risk
>
>The information presented below is based on a US Navy/Marine Corps
>survey dated June 1999. The survey was conducted to determine the risk
>of utility failures at military facilities worldwide. Only United
>States information is shown.
>
>Each of the three tables below shows a list of cities and the Y2K
>exposure of the major utilities in each city. The columns labeled E, W,
>G and S refer to the Electrical, Water, Gas and Sewer utilities. An "x"
>in the column indicates that utility is expected to fail. To view
>expanded information on each city including the names of specific
>utilities, visit www.JimLord.to on the web.
>
>Three levels of possible failure are indicated in the Navy document.
>Each table in this summary lists one of these levels.
>1) Partial failure is probable.
>2) Partial failure is likely.
>3) Total failure is likely.
>
>The terms "probable", "likely", "partial" and "total" are Navy
>terminology and were not clearly defined in the documentation. The
>terms "likely" and "total" however, represent the worst condition.
>
>Cities in bold have populations greater than 100,000. Many of the
>utilities listed service many more customers than shown here.
>
>43 cities where "partial failure is probable."

>There's a great scene in the movie, "A Few Good Men" where Navy lawyer
>Tom Cruise verbally battles Marine Colonel Jack Nicholson. Trapped and
>finally broken by the relentless interrogation, Nicholson snarls (as
>only he can snarl),
>
>"You can't handle the truth."
>
>The disgraced Colonel, of course, doesn't mean Tom Cruise -- he means us.
>We the People. We're the ones who can't take it. We, the unwashed
>masses, are too lazy, too stupid, too irrational. In his twisted world,
>only the anointed few, the chosen leaders, deserve access to the truth.
>
>The Federal Government is withholding the truth about Y2K for the same
>reason - they don't think we can take it. They think we'll panic and:
>
>Take all our money out of the banks.
>Cash in all our mutual funds and burst the stock market balloon.
>Break the economic system by hoarding everything in sight.
>Incite turmoil, chaos and riots.
>
>There are many reasons why their strategy is wrong but only two need to
>be mentioned. 1) This country belongs to us. 2) These people work for
>us. If something is wrong, we have a right to know and they have a
>responsibility to tell us. Will the truth result in riots, shortages and
>disruptions to the financial system? Possibly so but if our fractional
>reserve banking system and our Just-in-Time manufacturing and retail
>processes are so dangerously fragile, don't we need to know now rather
>than in the middle of the Y2K Crisis?
>
>I'm fed up with being told that institutions must be protected even if
>it means we have to be sacrificed. We are more important than the
>banks. We have a higher priority than the stock market. We're
>grown-ups and we have a right to the truth. We the People of this great
>nation have faced every challenge thrown at us in the past. It's time
>to take this one on. We can handle it.
>
>Where It Came From
>
>This information came from the US Navy and Marine Corps (Department of
>the Navy). They were apparently tasked to conduct a study of the Y2K
>exposure of their worldwide shore facilities. A copy of this study made
>its way into my hands.
>
>Military bases in the United States are rarely self-sufficient when it
>comes to utilities such as electricity, water, gas and sewer. These
>services are almost always provided by the local economy. From a Y2K
>standpoint, this leaves the bases at the mercy of the local utility
>providers. Nearly five hundred bases were assessed; approximately one
>third are expected to experience utility failures.
>
>These figures are completely out of whack with the federal government's
>August 1999 Y2K assessment which says,
>
>"It is highly unlikely that there will be national disruptions in
>electric power service on January 1, 2000. It is expected that any
>gas disruptions that do occur will have minimal impact upon consumers.
>It is increasingly unlikely that the date change will create
>disruptions in water service."
>
>Mr. Koskinen, you need to check with the folks over at the Pentagon.
>They seem to have a different opinion. Or is it possible you already
>know about this information?
>
>The information was obtained from a confidential source of the highest
>reliability and integrity. The identity of this source will be
>staunchly protected. I don't have a copy of the detailed assessments of
>the individual bases nor do I possess the information on Army or Air
>Force bases. I am submitting a request for these documents through the
>Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), however. (In fact, I encourage you
>to help out by submitting your own FOIA request for these documents.)
>
>The information from the bases and other facilities was compiled into an
>eight-page spreadsheet that is titled "Utility Master List" and dated
>June 1999. No other markings appear on the papers. In particular, (and
>this is of crucial importance) the document is not stamped or labeled
>with any national security classification markings.
>
>What You Should Do
>
>This information is vital to the well being of tens of millions of
>American citizens. The federal government is withholding it from the
>public. If you're concerned about Y2K and frustrated at the way the
>government is dealing with the crisis, there are several things you can
>do.
>
>Help get the word out about this study. Make copies of this document
>and send them to the media (radio, television and newspaper) in the 125
>communities listed in the report. In particular, contact the radio talk
>shows (national and local) and request that they have me on their
>shows. I can best be contacted by email at JimLordY2K@aol.com.
>
>Also send copies to elected officials (mayors; city council; county
>commissioners; governors and state and national level senators and
>representatives). Ask them if they are aware of these Navy Department
>assessments. Send copies to the individual utilities identified in the
>listing of cities on the website.
>
>Send FOIA requests to the Navy, Army and Air Force requesting their
>studies on the anticipated effects of Y2K-related utility failures on US
>military facilities. Sample letters can be found at the end of this
>special report.
>
>Ask everyone in your community group, family, email list etc. to visit
>the www.JimLord.to website. Then ask them to do the same thing you're
>doing. If we work together, we can break this thing open.
>
>In short, let's raise hell.
>
>Implications
>
>1. One need not be even a mild "doom and gloomer" to realize that
>failures of the magnitude indicated in this Navy Department study are
>potentially catastrophic. The lives and health of millions of people
>are at stake. The national economy is threatened. Our way of life is
>jeopardized. The national security is at risk.
>
>2. That the government is withholding this information from the American
>people seems to me a monstrous abandonment of principle. Each of these
>military bases has a commanding officer. For large bases this is
>typically a Navy Captain or a Marine Colonel. These military leaders
>have raised their hands in the air and sworn an oath to support and
>defend the Constitution. (I recall this oath clearly having taken it
>several times during my own naval career and having administered it
>numerous times during reenlistment ceremonies.)
>
>How can these commissioned officers remotely imagine that keeping this
>information from the citizens of this nation is in any way upholding
>their duty? I have no doubt they have been instructed by higher
>authority to maintain silence about these Y2K risks. How can they look
>themselves in the mirror each morning and conceive that what they are
>doing is right?
>
>These commanders report to a chain of command of Admirals and Generals
>culminating in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. How can these so-called
>"public servants" know that 26 million citizens are in such jeopardy and
>remain silent?
>
>In the simplest terms - I stand bitterly ashamed of my former comrades.
>I cannot conceive of a blacker mark on the military leadership of the
>nation.
>
>3. The government is holding out on its own people. The Navy uses a
>special message called an "ALNAV" (meaning all Navy) to communicate
>information to all naval personnel at once. On February 10, 1999, the
>Secretary of the Navy released such a message telling all officers and
>enlisted personnel they had nothing to worry about from Y2K. The
>message identifier is SECNAV 101715Z FEB 99. Here's a quote,
>
>"Speculation that power distribution systems will experience widespread
>failures are not based on facts or rational analysis. Most experts
>believe water treatment and distribution should not be greatly affected
>by the Y2K problem. Because of extensive preparation, the effects of
>the Y2K bug will be minimal on the lives of you and your family."
>
>Perhaps the Navy Department had not yet completed their facility Y2K
>assessment last February when the ALNAV was promulgated. Now that they
>understand their Y2K exposure, I wonder when they will let all those
>sailors and their families know about the anticipated utility failures?
>After all, the first line in the above mentioned ALNAV states,
>
>"It is important that we provide our sailors with sound, useful
>information on the potential impact of Y2K on their personal and
>professional lives, as well as the lives of their families."
>
>I retired from the Naval Service in 1983 but I still hold a commission
>as a regular officer. I am still under oath. In "my" Navy, the highest
>unwritten duty of a Naval Officer was to take care of his people. This
>bit of traditional wisdom is apparently little practiced today. To each
>of the Naval and Marine Corps Officers who has had access to the
>information described herein, I lay down a simple challenge. Live up to
>this duty. Come forth. Tell us the truth.
>
>4. If we're being lied to about this, how can we believe anything the
>government tells us about Y2K? How bad is this thing really going to be?
>
>Impact on Military Readiness
>
>These revelations imply a severe effect on military readiness in the
>United States and at several important locations overseas. In this
>country, for example the major Marine Corps bases at Quantico, Virginia
>and Camp LeJeune, North Carolina are expected to experience utility
>failures. The latter is of special personal concern - my son and his
>family are stationed there.
>
>Another essential but not widely appreciated Marine Corps facility is at
>special risk. The base at Albany, Georgia is the hub of all USMC
>logistics activities. The inability of this base to provide services
>would pose a devastating threat to the entire US Marine Corps. Albany
>is one of three unfortunate cities expected to have utility failures in
>all four areas: electricity, water, gas and sewer.
>
>The US Navy expects serious problems as well. The extensive complex of
>facilities at their primary east-coast port at Norfolk/Portsmouth,
>Virginia is projected to be without water or natural gas. The Navy
>Space Command at Dahlgren, Virginia; is in jeopardy. The Naval Air
>Stations at North Island, California; Whidby Island, Washington, Cecil
>Field, Florida; and Pensacola, Florida are at risk. The key submarine
>bases at Kings Bay, Georgia and New London, Connecticut are on the
>list. The latter is another of the three stateside locations expected
>to have failures of all four types of utilities.
>
>The facility at Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania is also of special concern.
>Much of the US Navy's logistics support is conducted at this base which
>is expected to see both gas and sewer failures.
>
>Overseas, critical bases at Rota, Spain; Sigonella and Naples, Italy;
>(headquarters of the Mediterranean (6th) Fleet); Bahrain; Guam; Puerto
>Rico; and Okinawa are impacted. Of the ten facilities listed in the
>United Kingdom, all (mostly in London) were expected to experience
>failures of all four utilities.
>
>Potential Repercussions
>
>I don't imagine the government (the Navy Department in particular) is
>going to be very pleased that this information has made its way into the
>sunlight. If we all do our job, they are going to come under some
>pretty intense scrutiny. Several people who have seen this report
>opined that I could be in financial, legal or even physical jeopardy.
>Quite frankly, that kind of stuff is of little concern to me. I could
>not withhold this information and live with myself. No person of honor
>and integrity could
>
>As a precaution, I have registered my Internet domain name - JimLord.to
>- in Tonga, an island nation in the South Pacific. I have also hidden
>away several copies of the Navy Department documentation and my Internet
>files in safe keeping in several states. Friends are standing by to
>keep this information in the public eye. Just in case.
>
>This stuff needs to see the light of day. I intend to do everything in
>my power to make that happen. Besides, you the reader are the best
>protection I could have. The more of you there are, the safer I
>become. Do your part and get this critical information into the hands
>of as many people as you can. Help keep Jim Lord out of jail (grin).

>I recently gave an hour-long speech titled "Y2K Surprises - Why It Won't
