Gothic News: Heritage and New American Century Seek to Dispel Sharon Rumor

(Gothic News Service, 3/11/03) The Heritage Foundation and the group called Project for the New American Century (PNAC) sought to dispel rumors of plans for a joint spring symposium under the auspices of MilleniumMoveOn, a new joint umbrella organization. According to rumors, Ariel Sharon and a group of associates have been invited to address two subjects: "Preemptive Assassinations: Furthering the Foundations of Civilization" and "Wall Materials and Strategies for Protecting and Serving Indigenous Populations."

The two non-profit Foundations - both of which are considered major Think Tanks and essential contributors to the development of Bush Administration global policies - are said known to be developing white papers on new administrative controls for Iraq once the planned war has achieved its immediate military aims.

Expertise in "Preemptive Assassinations" is considered essential to eliminating the leadership of any internal Iraqi or outside groups that may aggressively challenge or terrorize the military and political authority of a United States led Occupation. Ariel Sharons example in dealing with the Hamas and other groups in the West Bank and Gaza has apparently been accepted by the Bush Administration and is being considered as an efficient way - when required - to deal with both armed and unarmed civilian opposition groups.

The interest in Israel's wall building materials and strategies is also seen as potentially essential in controlling potential conflicts between conflicting national and religious groups ? whether Kurdish, Sunni, or Shia Muslim. In the case of a Balkanized Iraq, it will be considered essential that the boundaries be under United States military control. Its rumored that portable, sustainable walls are in development that can extend for hundreds of miles and be well used as population containers. The walls may also be built to contain complete surveillance and weapon needs. Their smooth Teflon surface is impossible for civilians to slip over and is considered grafitti resistant. Wall panels may also be conveniently unlocked to permit the passage of military and/or equipment for maintaining food delivery and oil operations.

"This is one more flagrant example," complained officials from both Foundations, "of the American and European left using Israels democratic leadership and totally false - and what some may interpret as anti-Semitic rumors - to undercut the legitimate democratization objectives of President Bush. The world is going to deeply surprised by how well we are received by Iraqis who are innocent of the Saddam regime."

Neither the White House nor the Israeli Consultate could not be reached for comments on what are still considered rumors. The Internet has no current web site listiing for MilleniumMoveOn and there is no indication of a public mission statement for the organization.

Since the Heap has no definite rules as to where it will create space for you, there must be some way of figuring out where your new space is. And the answer is, simply enough, addressing. When you create new space in the heap to hold your data, you get back an address that tells you where your new space is, so your bits can move in. This address is called a Pointer, and it's really just a hexadecimal number that points to a location in the heap. Since it's really just a number, it can be stored quite nicely into a variable.

The most basic duality that exists with variables is how the programmer sees them in a totally different way than the computer does. When you're typing away in Project Builder, your variables are normal words smashed together, like software titles from the 80s. You deal with them on this level, moving them around and passing them back and forth.

Note the new asterisks whenever we reference favoriteNumber, except for that new line right before the return.

Earlier I mentioned that variables can live in two different places. We're going to examine these two places one at a time, and we're going to start on the more familiar ground, which is called the Stack. Understanding the stack helps us understand the way programs run, and also helps us understand scope a little better.

A variable leads a simple life, full of activity but quite short (measured in nanoseconds, usually). It all begins when the program finds a variable declaration, and a variable is born into the world of the executing program. There are two possible places where the variable might live, but we will venture into that a little later.
