Thanks GEL!

Scroogle JHU/APL - her department. Lots of interesting and worrisome projects.

Im still looking into "her" and havent dug much into "him" yet...
But it just seems more and more like this was a hit (as if the "vistors" werent evident enough)...and maybe her job involved more then her title says:

Buckley said Powell had started at the lab as a contract worker in 2004 and had become a lab employee in 2006. He declined to name the lab Powell worked in or her title, citing the “nature of the work.”

****

Forrest said her daughter was a security specialist who would not talk about her work. Powell would occasionally leave town for a couple of days to pick up things for the lab, she said. “I would ask her where she was going, and she would say, ‘Mom, you know I can’t tell you that.’ ”

****
Kelly Easter, one of Powell’s co-workers, said he last had lunch with her Aug. 26. “She was busy working on stuff, trying to get police involved. She was really messed up about the whole thing,” he said. The man claiming to be an FBI agent had come to her door only a few days earlier. “She just had no idea who would do that.”

And do you ever watch movies like "Bourne", etc and think "oh its just a movie". I think more and more these movies are a reflection of what is really going on.

Relevant information: I used to live in Oxon Hill where these folks was killed, which straddles the border of Washington DC on the South East Side. I lived two blocks from Southern Ave. Which is the street that borders the SE DC/MD line just like Eastern Ave. borders NE DC/MD and the situation is: ...anything close to either one of these areas is a warzone. My building I used to live in had bullet holes all over it. Literally I walk up the street while my girl was home sleeping and I can grab a ho up off the block for some dome-sky pronounced (dome-skee) (oral sex) no problem, you dig? Your probably asking your DnD, Magic the gathering playing ass why is this ethnic gutteral scum commenting on our website? Because regardless the fact I'm the type of dude who rather concern himself with strippers, coc aine, Oxycotin and Hustling I legimately started getting abducted and having experiences begining 3/1/08. Trust me, the social demographic that is normally attracted to such interests might not fit the script for me (and I completely understand if that offends your semi-all inclusive sensibililties since Star Trek was so poignant to paint a picture where stereotypes aren't used to judge the content of folks character but the ability of the different to assimilate is what matters), because there probably some oreo-cookie black folk that are attracted to this very same fringe paranoia just like white folk. (UK loves this sh!t, but good for yall because the most are in denial) I wasn't trying to get extra verbose with yall, but i wanted you to legitimately understand that I'm not the type of dude that normally gets a rise out of shocking people with BS. Would I normally even consider an interest in this type of subject unless I was affected by it... no! I'm hoping you can detect my realness by gathering from my colorful response that I'm significantly different from your social familerarity (I hoped I spelled that correct) and can convince you that this ish is real. My thoughts? You can consider aliens however you like but my opinion.... the usual abducting type are demonic in nature, i.e. satanic. The pledian good ones whatever probably on gods team. But it is what is thats what's the ...Angelic Conflict (we just happen to have a better a view on the misunderstood than our ancestors did). Trust me I didn't get visited by no Nordic Aryan dudes, I got to hang out with some man sized insects. Including a humanoid with a fly head. I'm thinking since Belzebub is the Lord of the Flies there was a reason our ancestors considered him as such. Anyways yall stay safe sh!t bout to get like that asap, u dig.

Okay, there is this about tracking pandemics:

www.jhuapl.edu...

and this about simulated environments:

www.jhuapl.edu...

and of course last weeks story about Google tracking flu this year by search hits.

ALL SPECULATION mind you. That's just the only duplicate topic on the Scroogle page for her department.

WOW, both sound like assassinations to me...

Both must have stumbled onto information that they where never supposed to know, see, or hear.

Sounds like someone needed those job openings in order to plant their own operatives. Just a hunch. This is a conspiracy site after all.

Substitute the word relatives for the word operatives. Then you will be closer to the truth.

Let's assume for a moment that Ms. Powell knew something important that people in government or big business didn't want known.

The perps would have two choices at that point. Convince her to shut up or knock her off.

She strikes me as the sort of person, who, if she were getting pressure of some sort at work, would have told somebody about it. But nobody seems to have indicated that she was under pressure.

The only pressures were the two first attempts at knocking her off.

Nobody was pressuring her. This wasn't a case of mistaken identity. Somebody wanted her dead, period.

She may have found out something that she didn't even know was important. The people who didn't want the information known decided that it was too risky to try to shut her up. She wasn't important enough to try to keep alive, so they did the simplest thing. They killed her, but in a clumsy unprofessional way.

Who is powerful enough to be able to send out three separate hitmen who don't know their jobs (make that two who don't know their jobs) and stupid enough not to know how to do a hit cleanly? My money would be on a group within her own organization, involved in something she found out about.

I think that is the key. Often things piece together in retrospect that don't connect initially. She may have had access to information that may seem innocuous now, but will be meaningful later.

I can't find the recent story but I remember reading a post within the last week about several government people approaching a reporter for the NYT (or so I think) basically saying they'd talk after the bush admin. was gone about domestic spying ? I can only imagine the huge volume of personell in posession of sensitive information that have had to keep quiet and are dying to come clean. Just speculation on my part, but it seems that the old guard may have a lot of housecleaning to do before their day is over. Wouldn't be a bit suprised if there's a connection.

That makes a lot of sense and could very well be the case. Afterall, the dude worked as a computer specialist at a counter terrorism unit, fer christ's sake. He is like one of the dudes on 24 who handles all the real time terrorism information. At least I would assume so. Considering the fact that a lot of the Bush admin's alleged crimes have been committed under the guise of bad information, this man may very well have been knowledgable about a great number of damning things.

The other one is a total mystery to me. I would imagine that the connection, if any, is buried in that list of projects her lab was working on.

Add - Maybe these are those "red list murders" we read about a while back.

I know exactly what article you are referring to, but darn if I can find it. Anybody?

Hmmm Ok how many people do we have now...


We have that aid to Senator Webb shot dead

We have the general in Alaska shot dead

We have the DC Madam hung

We have the DC Madam Friend Hung

We have the guy who sent the anthrax letters suicided

We have that FBI or CIA agent shot dead in broad daylight in TX or AL or somewhere like that.

We have that lady who jumped to her death at the UN.

We have the chick who disappeared in DC right around the Enron scandle who hasnt been found yet..I cant think of her name.

I mean how many of these do we have here. Tell me there isnt some crap going on in our government. Agentnineteen you are right these are terrorist acts...you just left out the part where they are terrorist acts perpetrated by our own government. Scary times. This 2 party crime family needs to end. Here they dog on Russia for a reporter or two getting killed look at whats going on here.

...And that State's Attorney or D.A. in VA (I think it was), who disappeared.

Ok So from what I have found Kanika Powell sent an email to her friends about the strangers visiting her.

Toward the end of the email, Powell wrote,‘…not only did I get NO sleep for the rest of my weekend, I am trying to get an alarm system installed in my apartment.’ Powell signed her e-mail to friends and colleagues as “Kanika T. Powell, Special Security, 13-S448 JHU/APL.”

Kanika T. Powell in Special Security 13-S448 JHU/APL

JHU/APL stands for John Hopkins University / Applied Physics Laboratory.

The 13-S448 can mean plenty of things. The current rumor online is that 13 stands for a building number which would mean that Kanika worked at the NAVSIL building.

Navigation and Guidance System Integration Laboratory (NAVSIL) is a fully instrumented, real-time HIL test facility for making detailed performance evaluations of missile Global Positioning System (GPS) and navigation hardware. NAVSIL provides a high-fidelity wraparound simulation of the signal environment, radio frequency (RF), and inertial sensors as well as the host vehicle command and control that flight hardware would receive during an actual mission. Custom instrumentation is used for evaluating counter-countermeasures performance of GPS and navigation systems for several weapons programs.

Although this may not be true because Kanika let on that her job involved homeland security.

The only other thing I found pertaining to S448 was this :

bulk.resource.org...

Other then that all other searches for S448 lead to pages of journals??

Oh there are plenty I didnt mention that I just cant think of off hand. Ive already told everyone in my family that if things dont change then Im moving to Canada. I know Ill get flamed by the right wing ideologues here but Our country really is no better than the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany in my opinion. They refuse to listen to the people who elected them. You have the bailout that passes even though the people were overwhelmingly against it, you have immigration still not fixed, you have our infrastructure collapsing, you have HUGE debt being added, You have the CIA collaborating with Hollywood as shown in another thread just put on here I mean what do you call a government that does not listen to its people I mean thats a dictatorship isnt it?

No, it was Sean Nicholas Green, who worked for homeland security. Two different people assassinated (IMO), but both held "security" positions for the government. Couldnt talk to anyone about their jobs (although, not too odd for gov jobs).

Also, both lived very quite, possibly 'boring' lives. She had her group of friends from high school. Neither were married, nor had kids. Hardly anything can be found on them: IE. myspace, facebook

Maybe they were spies and there time was up. Don't know, just speculating. *shrug*

What are the chances that these two people who both work in Homeland Security/Counter-Terrorism would both die in such mysterious circumstances, only a few months apart?

First, Sean Nicholas Green: He had a high level security clearance, so you know he passed a backround/criminal records check. There is no obvious motive to the crime. Friends and family say nothing unusual seemed to be going on in his life. He was following his normal daily routine. Witnesses say he was clearly targeted during the incident, so it wasn't a random crime.

I wonder if he came across some incriminating computer evidence and, if so, did he even know it?.

What a bright future wasted.

www.washingtonpost.com...

An Oxon Hill man who worked with sensitive national security information was fatally shot Wednesday evening as he sat in his car at a stop light near his home, according to police, family members and coworkers.

Sean Nicholas Green, 31, had stopped at a red light at about 5:31 p.m. when a man approached his car and fired several shots into the driver's side window of his black Cadillac Deville, police and family members said.
Cpl. Clinton Copeland, a spokesman for Prince George's County police, said detectives do not have a suspect and are still working to establish a motive for the killing. "It doesn't appear to be a carjacking, he was sitting at the light, he wasn't the only car there -- it's weird stuff, a mystery right now," Copeland said.

www.wjla.com...

OXON HILL, Md. - Family members of an Oxon Hill man are as mystified by his death as the police investigating the case; the shooting was not a robbery, and the question that lingers is whether the gunman knew his victim, and if so, how.

Sean Nicholas Green, 31, was in his car apparently leaving his Oxon Hill community about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday when he stopped before turning onto St. Barnabas Road. His family thinks that he was on his way to the gym and then on to his mother's house.

He was the second of five or six cars in the right turn lane at the intersection, investigators believe. Witnesses said a gunman, dressed in a black jacket with his hood up, walked up to Green's Cadillac and fired nine shots into the driver's-side window.

The gunman did not say anything to Green or try to open the car door, witnesses said.

"The individual just walked up him -- the window being up, the door closed -- and discharged his firearm several times, striking Mr. Green," said Prince Georges County police Cpl. Steve Pacheco.

Green died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds to the head
Green's family said he had attended the University of Maryland and Frostburg State University, earning a computer science degree.
He held a top secret security clearance in his work as a computer specialist with the National Counter-Terrorism Center, a federal agency. They say Green loved his job and was recently promoted.

Ok we have 2 deaths in mysterious circumstances, from what we know about the case so far. and thats all we know. and without any other evidence, your going to cry out "the government killed them" i hope to god those of you who think this way never have to serve on a jury, where a persons life hangs in the balance, pending the jurys decision based on EVIDENCE.
For all you know they might have been espionage agents of a foreign government, not the US, but we dont know.
How about waiting for more facts to come out before you jump on the short yellow bus of US gov conspiracy theories.

When I read that link, the only thing that makes sense to me about "transportation data security systems" is the cameras you see all over hell's half acre in the U.S. - up and down every interstate system in major metro areas. Can you make sense of it?

reply to post by greeneyedleo


Oh movies like the Bourne movies and Bond get their ideas from somewhere. I tend to agree they might be spies who either found out something they werent supposed to or whatever. Make room Im coming up to Alaska with you
