SOFTWARE TO DIE FOR – THE PROMIS SOFTWARE SCANDAL AND HOW THE U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BECAME SOFTWARE PIRATES IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY, with Tédd St. Rain. The Inslaw/PROMIS scandal began in the early 1980s, when the Department of Justice signed a $10 million contract with a company called Inslaw to develop specialized case-tracking software for the U.S. court system. Inslaw provided the software, called P.R.O.M.I.S., but the government refused to pay the contract, forcing the company into bankruptcy court. The judge in the case ruled against the government (and was subsequently transferred to Alaska), but through appeals it was never held accountable. Instead, profits from P.R.O.M.I.S. paid off the Ayatollah Khomeini in the infamous "October Surprise" manipulation of the 1980 presidential election. This set a pattern of trading with the enemy that continued through the Iran-Contra scandal; the build-up of Saddam Hussein and the al-Queda (as the mujahadeen); and continues to this day with the Bush / Bin Laden / Obama axis. They all involve the same players and the same parapolitical dynamic that “Danny Casolaro” warned the world about before he, too, fell victim to "The Octopus" in 1991. In the backdrop: murders and apparent suicides among the Cabazon tribe members in California; the infamous private security/surveillance bureaucracy Wackenhut; the government modified P.R.O.M.I.S., sold illegally to unsuspecting governments and intelligence agencies worldwide with a secretly installed "back door" to allow spying on those same agencies, and thus enabling the notorious ECHELON satellite surveillance system. It is a story that just will not go away. Even the courts concluded that through "trickery, deceit and fraud" the US "took, converted, stole" P.R.O.M.I.S. through a series of "willful, wanton and deceitful acts" – a description that magnified to assassinations, wars and corruption on a global scale. P.R.O.M.I.S. - know about it. It surely knows about you. For more information on P.R.O.M.I.S. visit one of Tedd’s thematic websites www.PromisScandal.com
