SAIC Purchasing Bell Labs
 
 
Note: I received the following email from a listener who requested I pass it along to Ed Wang, which I did. I also sent it to ACC for comment and received the following quick reply containing some new and interesting data:

Mr. Wang,
 
I saw something interesting in the trade papers yesterday that might relate to your ACC story on the Sightings website.
 
The news report stated that Bell Labs was being absorbed or bought by SAIC (you probably realize that SAIC owns Internic, and has more ex-spooks on its board that the CIA).
 
I thought it might be interesting that since ACC is a spinoff of Bell Labs, and if Bell Labs still has any control over ACC, that this purchase by SAIC might be an end run around ACC's efforts.
 
For what it's worth.
 
Thanks, (name on file)

Dear Mr. Rense:
 
American Computer Company is not a spin off of Bell Labs. It was, at one time, a Bell Labs limited partnership, but that Bell Labs, except through American Computer, no longer exists and is not subject to any contractual or legal obligations or restrictions which may apply to today's Bell Labs or AT&T.
 
SAIC is reportedly acquiring the "Assets" of today's Bell Labs, and SAIC is supposedly purchasing the AT&T Labs corporate entity from AT&T to hold it. SAIC does not own "the Internic", they reportedly own "Network Solutions Group" which operates the Internic under a grant from the National Science Foundation and whose charter expires at the end of 1978 at which time ANY ONE is entitled to be appointed the new operator of the Internic who wins "THE BID". We imagine there is going to be quite a legal battle over that one. Again, this may sound like legal banter to the layman.
 
Accordingly, we believe this move is just a consolidation by AT&T under the pressure brought to bear upon them by one Jack Shulman, who publically, privately and in court has strongly suggested they, AT&T, are operating a defacto "Monopoly" over the Internet. It may also be a technique to hide the contract that created "Computation, Tabulation and Recording, Inc." in upstate New York, in the first decade of our Century, a hidden subsidiary of the Bell System, which was later renamed "International Business Machines Corporation". This is hidden within the realm of Bell Labs assets - perhaps its most valuable one - and again, pressure brought to bear upon AT&T by Jack may be forcing their hand, though don't go expecting them to admit it.
 
Most people are unaware that IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, Netscape, Motorola Corporation, Sun Microsystems, @Home, @Work, Apple Computer and a whole lot of other businesses, are all among the many exterior hidden corporate interests, allegedly, of AT&T (and were of the original Bell System) and the RBOCs. By controlling the boards and officers of businesses and maintaining the "appearances of autonomy" - some companies with power the likes of AT&T are very capable of defeating the indexes of "Corporate Shareholder's Agreements" and the rules of the Exchange regarding voting rights. The lines between these businesses are very well hidden and almost impossible to prove in court as they go outside of the jurisdiction of the Court: namely - off shore. AT&T is still the world's largest company, more powerful and healthier today than GM and GE combined - yet you wouldn't know it from reading their annual report.
 
Even though AT&T and the "RBOCs" are not part of the same business today, it is sufficient to suggest that they may be aiming at regrouping themselves so that they eventually are. And, in the meantime, they have had ample opportunity to secure a substantial position in Cable TV, Credit, Banking and International Communications. The "long distance" part of AT&T we see in this country, is really only part of the picture.
 
The Court and the Justice Department really failed to break them up, just doesn't know it yet and Judge Greene and his associates at the Department are going to be long gone, and Congress quite of a different mind, when they do re-Unify AT&T.
 
In fact, because they still value Jack Shulman's opinion more than the public realizes: he suggested they use the name "UNIFI Corp" (pronounced like "Unify") as the new business name. Bear in mind, Jack doesn't hate AT&T, he just wants the secrets about Roswell/Corona exposed, and AT&T to provide much better service for a much lower cost, and have some serious competition. His interests are, as you may have noticed, in seeing "We the People" served better - for he believes that humanity is already facing the greatest threat to its own survival: the need to grow beyond Planet Earth - and that a test of our resolve and ability is upon us - one which humankind could live or die as a result of. That test has very little room in it for greedy, communications barons who charge hundreds and thousands of dollars per month per line for wired communicating systems when they could be as inexpensive as $20-40 per month per user, instead.
 
Until such a time as AT&T makes a financial investment in American Computer Company, it will have no say in our operations, every one needn't worry.
