You aren't going to believe this story. It sounds like the movie "enemy of my state". A Canadian special coin the poppy coin which has red poppy center protect bed special paint that shines purple under UV light. Well, a US defense contractor thought that the Canadian government is spying on the US by implanting nano-technology into the coin to track the person who carries the it.
The story made news headline that cause major embarrassment to the US defense department. The Canadian CSIS was annoyed by the
contractor report. Everyone else, including the Mint, was laughing at the contractor report to the US government.

It sounds like wannabe Spy vs. Spy.

This is probably the Canadian response to Ian Punnit's (CoasttoCoastAM.com) insidious campaign to promote Canadians to the Extra-Terrestrial communities out there as prime abduction material because "Canadians taste better". Instead of an International plot, what we have here is one of the first "Intergalactic Spy vs. Spy Conspiratorial Affairs"

OK, I don't know what is funnier, the coin thing, or the "canadians taste better" thing. Either way, thanks guys- I haven't laughed like this in a while.

Scared the new guy- I didn't think I laughed. *grins*

this is old news..i saw this making it's rounds on another forum weeks ago....sounds to me like another urban myth is trying to get started here...vince g. 11b inf...

Hi picard120

Another amazing spy story and tall tales of paranoia from heart of the Pentagon. There was a similar spy story involving this little chap recently also

and to think that a nuclear war was almost started because Santa Claus and his sleigh with Rudolph the red nose reindeer over the north pole was mistaken for a incoming Soviet ICBM. Ah the insanity of Team B and project Stargate and project Jedi.



Military Intelligence certainly seems to qualify as an Oxymoron

I also heard that the Canadians are plotting to take over BOTH sides of Niagra Falls. But why? - They have the best side already!

Last I heard, Furbies still aren't allowed in secret or top secret areas. I wonder if I could get away with a Tickle Me Elmo.

Of course, Canadian taste better. We spend more time exercise outdoors than our southern neighbor. We have leaner bodies.

Of course you taste better, all those extra ingredients that the Chinese are slipping into the food products that Canada imports. We know that y'all don't ship it all South of the 49th parallel.

Actually, furbies are a recording device. Any form of audio or visual recording device without authorization in a secure area is at best a major screw up, and at worst espionage. That isn't any oxymoron- I'd be fired for bringing a furbie or anything similiar onto some of my job sites becuase I might hear sensative corporate information. Trained forgetary is a good thing.

As for the santa thing, that was a comedy skit. You know, comedy, this thing done to be funny, haha, not serious.

would Paris Hilton doll considered as security threat?

Furbies Spy story can be found here



I'm not really aware of the comedy sketch you are referring to although I have a very vague memory it was on the Saturday Night Live many years ago in the Eighties. (please correct me if I'm Wrong)

No I'm referring to 'Major' Edward A. Dames and to Major General Albert Stubblebines operation out of Ft Meade in the late 1970's for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) (Project Stargate) who had direct access to the United States Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff . This is when the Team B operation, which was setup by the the then CIA director George HW Bush to analyze the Soviet offensive and Defense capabilities was also on the go. Some of the Team B analysts conclusions pushed for the development of a policy of a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the Soviet Union. If you wiki Team B, you can see some of the folks names who participated. Thankfully the Team B methods and operational techniques for the collection of military intelligence were exposed for what they were. The men that stared at goats were exposed also. Nuclear Armageddon was averted. Apparently Major General Stubblebine was apparently "confounded by his continual failure to walk through his wall." being a Jedi Warrior in the First Earth Battalion. The men who stare at goats Oh, BTW those folks on Team B and those who had faith in Team B's conclusions never really went away.



'But there are also unknown unknowns' - theres the rub. Maybe Santa Claus and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer does exist in mind of those folks especially if those folks are willing to just have the faith in someone else's psychic abilities, especially if that psychic information comes out of the military intelligence community!!!

Yeah. It was done for Armed Forces Radio back in the late 50s, early 60s. Your opinion of Americans must be awfully low if you think our adults believe in Santa Claus. Or you still believe in him and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, but I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt. Although when you make comments like that I have to try REALLY hard.

As for the others, I didn't mention them becuase the aren't comedy skits. If I'm going to dispute something with you boyo, I'm going to mention it.

And by the by, the DIA didn't have anything to do with Project Stargate other than to laugh at it. Meade thought it was a comedy skit. The relevant documents were declassified in the late 80s or early 90s, it was a pure CIA show.

Now, if you want to talk about funny people, let's talk Alistair Crowley. Father of the Satanist Church and British intelligence agent, with Ian Flemming as his handler. Got Rudolph Hess to defect, that's success right there. If you see success, you look into it.
