amazon.com/Deception-Clinton-America-Chinese-Military/dp/0976116804

This is the true story of the greatest Chinese espionage successes against the USA. Deception takes the reader through a documented tale of spies, secrets, money sex and power that dominates the US government.
Get the full story from the journalist that broke the China-Gate scandal along with the documented evidence that turned China-Gate into a full blown investigation. Author Charles R. Smith names the Chinese generals the greedy corporate bosses that sold America out to China.

Deception details the Clinton Administration and it's trade in weapons, US defense secrets and money using documented evidence obtained from nearly 50,000 of official and classified US Government documents. For the past decade, investigative journalist Charles R. Smith used the freedom of information act to get these documents and bring home the truth.

Find out about General Ding Heng Gao, commander of the Chinese espionage unit, COSTIND, or the Commission on Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The documented evidence includes letters from General Ding to Ron Brown and Clinton Secretary of Defense William Perry.

General Ding is the most successful Chinese military commander since Mao. Mao took Mainland China in 1949 after fighting a twenty-year war against both the warlords and the Imperial Japanese Army. General Ding, armed only with a checkbook, took the U.S. White House.

The Chinese Army turned its Second Artillery Corps - the PRC's strategic missile force - into a feared world power and defeated America without firing a shot in the short span of six years.

The spectacular success of General Ding and COSTIND turned China into a regional power that dominates Asia and a world power capable of flexing military force anywhere on earth. It is no surprise that General Ding and COSTIND recently won the honors of the Chinese communist party.

>> No.6004884

The Chinese Generals who engineered the espionage success against America have all retired with the highest rewards from the communist party. Their operations against the United States were carefully planned and executed. Their meetings were quietly withheld from public view by a U.S. administration seeking to reap the benefits from "military" sales to the People's Liberation Army.

President Clinton personally approved of the penetration of the U.S. aerospace industry by the Chinese Army. Documentation shows that Chinese General Shen Rougjun of COSTIND played a game of financial brinkmanship with Hughes and Loral while getting his son a classified position inside the U.S. space industry.

According to U.S. Commerce Department documents, Gen. Shen met with Ron Brown and Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz. President Clinton personally approved the meeting. The resulting espionage success of General Shen led directly to improved ICBM missile guidance and reliability for the Chinese Army.

Get the real story behind the Chinese "Tiger Song" air defense system. Read how the Chinese Army penetrated the U.S. Defense Department and obtained an advanced air defense system that was re-exported to Iraq. The story includes detailed letters and meetings between Chinese General Ding Henggao and U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry.

>> No.6004889

The penetration of General Ding included hiring Perry's personal paid consultant, Dr. John Lewis, to help the Chinese Army obtain a secure communications computer network and getting his wife, Madam General Nie Li to erect a false front company. The book also includes details of suspected Chinese spy Hua Di who worked closely with Secretary Perry and then fled back to China in 1996.

The Bush administration is painfully aware that the original Tiger Song fiber-optic air defense network was shipped directly the Chinese Army in 1994 after being approved by then Clinton Defense Secretary William Perry.

U.S. officials are convinced that the Afghan Taliban's fiber-optic air defense system was constructed using U.S. parts exported to China. Ironically, Saddam Hussein also purchased the same air defense system of U.S. made fiber-optic parts purchased under commercial contracts by the Chinese Army.

Pretty much because Maxwell said that Faraday was said "to have been in reality a mathematician of a very high order – one from whom the mathematicians of the future may derive valuable and fertile methods."

Maxwell and Faraday were like two peas in a pod. Neither could have done as well as they did without the other. Kind of why I put Tesla in there instead of Faraday.

Besides, if you had the intelligence of the other two minds, you'd have yourself an electromagnetic orgy.

>not the most important man in modern physics

We're not looking for the "most important men", we're looking for what amalgam of scientists would work well to achieve something beyond fucking awesome.

As long as Tesla is combined with some fuckwit associated with modern electromagnetism, then you got yourself a recipe for great things.

Are you sure you want to choose individuals with inflated and statistically inaccurate IQ scores rather than the heaps of other individuals with lesser IQs but vastly more achievement and relevance?

Ramanujan is the obvious choice, the boy had more mathematical intuition than Gauss and Euler combined, he just died too young for it to be explored.

I'll leave the other 2 as an exercise for the reader

>> No.6005851

>>6005837
Are the other two Gauss and Euler?

If so, too obvious but great try. If not, you didn't even imply a criteria by which to find the other two.

>> No.6005856

>>6005851
Oh wait yes you did, mathematical intuition.

And by that rubric, how would I know Gauss & Euler are the second/third best at mathematical intuition, by your use of them to compare how great Ramanujan was?

Hm. My only question is how would I ascerta- oh nevermind.

This is a difficult question to answer, because different scientists lived at different ages of human understanding , meaning that thier intelligence level per se is not really applicable to today's mind's level of ability.
However, the ones whom I admire the most would be George Gamow, Alan Guth, and Newton, due to thier contributions to the fields of physics. For Newton, I would choose him because he was greatly ahead of his time in terms of his understanding and ability to piece together pieces of physics the way he did back then.
