Where did the wheels come off?

Bush may very well have crippled the plane, but Obama flew it into the ground without trying to land properly.

Everyone is a Lawbreaker

It is impossible to got through the day without breaking some law, rule, regulation, or statute, unless one stays home and does not much. Everyone is a lawbreaker of one kind or another. Enforcement of everything is not possible, as you might logically point out, so the authorities can pick and choose what to use against you should you be singled out of the herd for any reason. There is widespread contempt for the law nowadays. A cynic might point out because it is contemptible.

An example: In Hong Kong one can start a business by spending 15 minutes filling out a one-page form and paying a small fee. In New York City it takes about 6 months and many thousands of dollars to legally open a lemonade stand, and you still might not be able to do so. The former is a Special Administrative Region of the largest Communist country in the world, while the latter is suffering from law constipation in the land of personal freedom and free enterprise.

Ironies abound.

Zero Population Growth

My feeling is most people think the ZPG movement is a good thing due to limited world resources, quality of life issues, and the like. I would have to agree, that as an intellectual concept, all the arguments make perfect sense.

Unintended consequences, however, include the Muslim intention to conquer western civilization through simply having large families. European birthrates are now below the replacement rate while Muslim birthrates are exploding in Europe. This will logically have to result in a dramatic demographic change within a couple of generations. According to what I've read, in Belgium and France, Muslim immigrants already make up more than 50 percent of the student bodies. How do you say, "Die infidel scum!" in French, anyway? Not too many people are aware that the Muslim sorties from their ghettos just a couple of years ago resulted in over 50,000 burned cars during those riots. Didn't really learn anything about that on TV, did we? Burning cars in the street has become an annual event to celebrate New Years.

Another, much more amusing, consequence of ZPG is that China (You remember, the country with whom we are still technically at war; to whom America will shortly be paying annual interest equal to our gross national product on the money we borrowed to finance our new-age parasite economy; the very same country to whom we gave away most of our manufacturing capabilities, putting millions of Americans permanently out of work?) now has to import foreign workers to do our work there. Lets see how they deal with that; better than than the European Union, I'll bet.

Probably most everyone in China with an IQ above room temperature will soon be reexamining the official, enforced, one-family-one-child policy. An unintended consequence of that is that there are millions of Chinese men with no corresponding Chinese women. Luckily, there soon will be floods of foreign third-world workers showing up just in time. Unfortunately, hybrids are not regarded warmly in China. In my experience, having working closely with real Chinese people, they really do feel that everyone who is not Chinese is inferior. As we have learned from the Modern Progressive movement, only white people are capable of being racist, so this fact cannot be explained in the Newspeak of modern journalism.

Our language is being crippled by political correctness, so transferal of factual information to the masses is difficult at best. Actually, what is a fact, anyway? My definition says it is simply a very unpopular way to describe reality.

The Difference Between Democrats & Republicans

When Republicans run things, the government holds you down while big business sticks it to you.

When Democrats run things, the government holds you down while government sticks it to you.

Neither party supports small businesses, yet that is where 80%+ of jobs are, and where new jobs are created. These are real jobs, not cogs in a government bureaucracy collecting salaries without generating wealth.

The similarity between the Democrats and Republicans are startling over the decades - consistently broken promises, albeit that sound different from each other.

"Flush the toilet! Vote incumbents out!!"

Fear the Bogey Man, Toto...

Hound Dog responds to yet more refutable internet blather sent this way.

Latest is the claim that President Obama made a policy that no U.S. serviceman can speak at any faith-based public events anymore. Hound Dog replies:

~ ~ ~
What you just sent me is another bullshit story circulating the Internet for over a year now:

See Snopes

Energy would be best spent learning actual facts on what is going on in this country. What's happening now in predictable progression is exactly what happens when totalitarianism takes over. President Obama is the sock puppet spokesman for this, exactly as President Bush was. Neither is clever or powerful enough to come up with this on their own...duh! The voters are not educated enough to see it does not matter who is seated behind the green curtain (White House).

We really aren't in Kansas anymore, Toto.

The truth is far worse than most can (apparently) imagine. It is right in front of us, and does not require joining the vocally outraged to learn. A few months ago I gave you a tiny hint, and all the tools necessary, for one small thing you could check for yourself...I'll bet you didn't, and neither does anyone else to whom I mention this. Not an attempt to change your mind, but simply a suggestion to look at some evidence, and then make up your own mind based on new facts.

Interesting study in human nature, reminds me of childhood. Don't open the door in the dark, there really might be a Bogeyman there. Wikipedia says, "Bogeyman can be used metaphorically to denote a person or thing of which someone has an irrational fear."

The Bogeymen in this story are the plain facts available to anyone with a computer, and consist of news media footage often only once seen (I personally saw two examples of this on 9/11), original interviews with eyewitnesses that include police and fireman on the scene, and comments by our leaders before troublesome utterances were edited out, a college professor explaining basic applied physics, and the like. These clips are still out there because nobody in the free world dares censor the internet....Yet.

If you don't like me commenting on this forwarded stuff every once in awhile, don't send it to me. Everything you hear from me are my own words. I usually never talk about things of this nature. And in the words of Bobbie Blake, "I am neither a leader nor a follower."

Internet Blather - President Obama Not a Citizen?

According to Snopes this is false. Hound Dog (HD) says, "I don't think anyone has ever proven Snopes.com wrong, or that Snopes is pushing some agenda:"

Snopes 1st Reference

Snopes 2ndReference

HD's version of reality is that everyone is lying about everything all the time. Thus all bitter disappointments are eliminated, and occasionally a pleasant surprise come along.

Notice how skeptics pick up disparaging labels, "Birthers" in this case (See Snopes first reference above). HD suspects that if President Obama was self-confident and well adjusted, he simply would make public all his records and make the "Birthers" look like idiots, so your choices are: (1) he is a charlatan and a liar (AFA HD is concerned already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt on YouTube by simply showing news clips of his own words contradicting himself), or (2) he is so badly adjusted personality-wise that he can't simply make himself prove some allegations wrong, i.e., royalty complex or something, and to think he wants to run every aspect of your future...and has his finger on the button...and has obviously never been in charge of anything before.

Aside: Another disparaging label is "Truthers" for those folks who contend that the official version of 9/11 is pure bullshit. "Birthers" have to depend on some entity coming up with indisputable records. "Truthers" only need citizens with a smattering knowledge of physics, chemistry, and logic to look at the facts available to anyone. IMO, the reason most people do not do this is that the possibility of the allegation being true is too horrible to contemplate. That type of mindset is what will bring us down - refusal to accept observable reality as the truth. We are all part of the problem.

HD is amazed to learn just how fragile democracy really is. Endless whining on the internet is not going to solve anything. We need to get back to the basics and define exactly what constitutes a fact, then find some, then act on them. IOW, there are the whiners and the doers.

It's an uphill fight. There are no more journalists (remember them, reporting the facts and letting the reader decide?). There is no more educational system teaching kids how to reason, and to think for themselves. Who ever thought that was a good idea, anyway, as they would be resistant to what is now, in actual fact, an indoctrination system designed to teach them to absorb blather from the left, follow the government official lies, believe the new pseudo science to help get everyone in line, and to not question anything that might remotely hurt someone's feelings?

Oh, and when exactly did the term "liar" stop being an insult? Answer: About the time HD drew the conclusion he did about liars. (See paragraph after the links above). Time frame starts just after President Reagan left the Oval Office.

Taxation Without Representation ...?

So...are those idiots, criminals, hypocrites, liars, et cetera, in Congress doing what you want them to do? Really? Over 70% of Americans say no.

NO MORE WINGNUTS!!!

Hound Dog thinks it is time to take back our country. We are now just about over the crest of the first hill on the roller coaster, and almost too late. Downhill acceleration will soon be unstoppable. October elections are our last chance. It is time to flush the Washington toilet and vote incumbents out.

The left-wing nuts in congress have just about setup the destruction of our country. Too severe a backlash in October will install right-wing nuts, just as bad.

Hound Dog is one of the (apparent) few that does not see much difference between George Bush and President Obama, just as several orders of magnitude worse, there was not much difference among Hitler, Stalin, and the Acadamia nut leftist icon Mao, who murdered more people than the first two monsters combined.

Toyota recalls

I think this is beginning to feel and sound like a government dirty trick to discredit one of the best built mass produced automobiles in the world, with the Camry being the most popular car in America. (With the Fed owning GM, I imagine any recalls of the stuff they make will be suppressed). I suspect the reason why Toyota can't fix the problem is that there is no problem. Think about it; how could they not be able to fix a problem that has been happening since the first car was built 125 years ago? My guess is dirty politics as usual, and the Toyota officials cannot deal with it.

Things become very clear when you simply assume everyone is lying about everything all the time. (It does not make one feel any better, though).

Think about it: no yellow cake and weapons of mass destruction (per George Bush), no Saddam-al Qaeda connection (per CIA), no Gulf of Tonkin incident (per Robert McNamara), not a single shooter in the JFK assassination (determined by congress less than 20 years after - bet you didn't know that), etc. The list of big lies is endless, ongoing, and non-stop.

Anyway, that's my take on recalled Camrys. In the very unlikely event your gas pedal does stick wide open, slip into neutral, a simple manuever. Modern cars will not over-rev, so this will sound like hell but will not hurt the engine. Do not panic, or shut the engine off, or try to stop with the brakes, etc. Simply slip into neutral. Practice this a few times until you know what you are doing. Coast to a safe place and shut the engine off.

Groundhog Day

Who gives a shit what some over pampered Pennsylvanian rodent sees?

Hound Dog would be happy if the Modern Progressives would pull their heads out of their collective asses, see the light, and stop trying to sever this country from its constitution.

Party Crashers With President Obama in 2005

The so-called "Party Crashers" are pictured here with President Obama in 2005. This is absolutely true. See Snopes Verification

The Following is Circulating the Internet
Let's Pull Back the Green Curtain

ANYBODY AT THIS 2005 PARTY LOOK FAMILIAR?

I knew there had to be a Paul Harvey,..."AND NOW THE REST OF THE STORY” version to this.

See the white guy in the white suit? Now see the blond in the white dress? See the guy in the middle…hmmm-m-m. This picture was taken June 9, 2005. It seems Obama has known these two phonies for awhile, at least from the time he was a Senator. They’re getting all the press now as being THE “party crashers” and the secret service is taking the fall. Funny how this hasn't come out in the press, don'tcha think?

No wonder the couple who crashed Obama’s State dinner last week keep insisting they were invited guests. They know Barry from way back when he was still an Illinois Senator. Is Obama trying to throw the Secret Service under the bus? MAYBE HE WANTS TO FIRE THE SECRET SERVICE AND HIRE ACORN AS HIS PERSONAL GUARD.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi snapped the pic above with Obama at a “Rock The Vote” event on June 9, 2005 (also attended by John McCain…with whom the Salahi’s also took a pic). McCain won an award for his work on campaign finance reform. Obama won an award for “forming a multiracial coalition in winning his seat.”

Michaele Salahi is getting quite a ribbing in the press for lying about being a Redskins cheerleader, but Tareq is the more interesting of the two to me. He has ties to Palestinian terrorists. Tareq is a board member of the ATFP- American Task Force on Palestine , which has quickly scrubbed it’s site of the fact. Thank the Lord for Google cache.

And just who are the ATFP? The ATFP has ties to Chicago , ties to Muslim radicals, ties to Hamas, and ties to Saudi Wahhabists. It is arguably the American wing of Hamas. The group’s co-founder is Rashid Khalidi, the guy purported to have helped finance Obama’s Harvard education and who was also instrumental in getting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia University . During the Beruit war, Khalidi was a PLO spokesperson. After the war, he came back to teach at the University of Chicago . He is a virulent critic of Israel, and [was] a strong supporter of Fatah terrorist Yassar Arafat. Obama has referred to Khalidi as someone who challenges his “own biases.”

Why do the same dubious tentacles seem to continually surround Obama?

The fact that the ATFP is scrubbing information on Salahi from their website suggests possible damage control coordination between the ATFP and the White House. If the ATFP was acting independently, there would be no reason to scrub Salahi’s name from their site. It looks like Salahi was an invited guest to the dinner, that he was “outed,” and the administration had to come up with a rational excuse for his presence. Now the Salahis want to sell their story…they’re a little broke these days, but they still live VERY high on the hog.

The Secret Service has already apologized for the incident, but they may clear their names if the Salahis start singing... If someone with ties to the American wing of Hamas can get face to face with the President without the Secret Service realizing it…that is a major security lapse. However, if Obama’s people knowingly allowed Salahi in and are now throwing the Secret Service under the bus to cover themselves, that would be a major scandal. Some in Congress are calling for an investigation.

Something is VERY fishy in this White House, AND THE SMELL GETS WORSE AND BIGGER EVERY DAY! FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A WEAK SENSE OF SMELL.....CLEAR YOUR NOSTRILS AND YOUR HEADS!

Another Election Year 2010 Bumper Sticker

Martha Coakley is one of THEM
Do you really want more of the same?

New Election Year Bumper Sticker

Hound Dog has conjured up a new bumper sticker for election year 2010:



Flush the Washington Toilet!
VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT!!!
 
 
 

Fourth in a Row

Those three previous haiku really are the result of a lifetime of informal study, one from the age of three, so when I wrote them I had previously defined, specific thoughts for each I wanted to express. The individual concepts had long before been reduced to a couple of sentences each. So those three haiku were easy for me. The third one needs some work, though.

Here is another:

Free Will, Myth Busted at Last

Height, length, width and time,
All physical dimensions,
Exactly alike.

Everything Happens in Threes

All past and future
Were created all at once,
Free will, we miss you.

Here's Another - This is Fun!!

Time and Motion Are
Very Clever Illusions,
Dimensions Unseen

Hound Dog's Very First Attempt at Haiku

All Religions Are
Superstitious Nonsense,
Except Yours, of Course

The New Disposable Generation?

As of this date, according to the government and the medical establishment, those over 65 are not eligible for H1N1 vaccine, as they probably already have antibodies for it. Logic, the bitch, says, "Why do we need any flu vaccines at all, then?"

It looks like we may have our first disposable generation. This country is cresting the big hill on the roller coaster right now.

Perhaps this is a test to see just how many will go along with this type of program? Get a list of troublemakers made up before it is really needed.

Just because we're paranoid does not mean we are wrong.

Corn & Ethanol Hoax

You may suspect that candidates running for office, and others already in the government, actually tell lies for political purposes (duh!). Ethanol is one simple example…might have something to do with Midwestern votes, especially Iowa…?

See article here

"It takes 450 pounds of corn to produce the ethanol to fill one SUV tank. That's enough corn to feed one person for a year. Plus, it takes more than one gallon of fossil fuel -- oil and natural gas -- to produce one gallon of ethanol."

Forget the details, on the surface Hound Dog thinks that burning food in our cars is just plain wrong, especially since there are hungry Americans right here in America.

Secretary Rumsfeld Says Missle Hit Pentagon [9/11]

Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with Parade Magazine:

"Here we're talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center"

See Interview

Have an Answer?

What has our United States government done since World War II of which you are proud? Understand, not the American people, but the government itself. Don't get mad; it's just a question. Just answer it.

Bush's Edgar Bergen?

Blaming George Bush personally for anything is like blaming Charlie McCarthy. The question is, who is Bush's Edgar Bergen?

All Signs Point to Another 9/11 Coming Up Soon

It's starting to hit the news on a regular basis. The Pearl Harbor effect of the original 9/11 is wearing off, apparently. Hound Dog suggests setting up as many TV recording devices as you can afford, one for each of all the news channels, so this time around we all will have a copy of certain news clips that will only appear for one day or less. The murderous thugs that are actually running things in this country are likely to do it again.

USA sent 363 tons of cash into a war zone!!

"Who in their right mind would send 363 TONS of cash into a war zone? But that's exactly what our government did."- Henry Waxman (D-CA)

Hound Dog wonders how all those folks in New Orleans, the ones that never got to move into nearby acres of empty temporary housing, feel about this story?

Anyway, try not to think about it as you have TurboTax looking for chump-change deductions.

Say...could shrinkage from these pallets of cash be paying for the more efficient ground to air missles that are now killing so many of our helicopters and crews, and better other weapons? Naw, lets blame it on Iran, and attack them next. After all, those defense industry dollars have to be spent somewhere, now that it looks like we might be leaving Iraq.

Status Quo Really Pays Off

Hound Dog thinks that if oil independence was really a US government concern then there would be a movement afoot to replace all incandescent light bulbs with LED light bulbs, saving about 25% of the electricity used in the United States and the billions of barrels of oil used to generate it, almost overnight. This would cause the price of heating oil and gasoline to plummet accordingly, and put a big, almost instant hurt on OPEC.

Viable incandescent lightbulb replacement

Australia to Ban Sale of Incandescent Light Bulbs This link was added 02/21/07. Check the original date on this post to see that Hound Dog was ahead of the story.

Why don't we? Same reason there will never be prison reform, economical bulk storage of electricity, overhauls of the criminal justice and health care systems, pebble bed nuclear reactors, curtailment of the US defense industry, and much more. There are simply too many powerful people making money on the status quo.

But you already knew that already, right?

Simple-mindedness Rules!

If the simple-minded troika (Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld) that got America into Iraq really thought there were weapons of mass destruction there, America would never have invaded. No? Then why haven’t we invaded North Korea? Logic could make the case that the UN weapons inspectors in Iraq made sure there were no weapons there, clearing the way for the invasion.

Could They Make It Any Plainer?

"We hope the situation will be resolved before an unfortunate incident of us firing a nuclear missile comes," South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a North Korean official as saying. "That depends on how the U.S. will act."

Over a month ago, Hound Dog suggested it would be a good idea if the USA removed its troops from South Korea. See last paragraph of Pervert pushes nukes off center stage, 'til now. Now the 37,000 American troops manning the DMZ will be the hostages in all future negotiations, stated or otherwise. The official United States' pigheaded position of not sitting down mano a mano with the resident Nut-in-the-North may just result in everyone's worst fears.

Newsweek Has Different Cover for Home Edition

Hound Dog has long contended that the news media in the United States is subject to US government control to an unknown extent. What is really in play here is unknown: coercion, intimidation, voluntary censorship, whatever. The link below shows another clue supporting Hound Dog’s contention that the mainstream news media deliberately controls what news the American people see, rather than simply reporting all news on an impartial basis, which should be the standard for true journalism.

Here we have Newsweek announcing to the world on the covers of the current international issues that we are “Losing Afghanistan,” while the domestic issue is completely innocuous. Amazing! Could this be so that the truth about the situation in Afghanistan would not be on American newsstands and delivered to our homes, contradicting the rosy picture the Bush/Karzai mutual love fest painted at their press conference of today?

Check out the international Newsweek covers here. See cover for the USA edition, hidden down on the left.

There has to be an official explanation for this.

Airport Shakedown vs. Reality - Do the Math

There are about six million (6,000,000) illegal border crossers coming into the United States every year. On a non-leap year there are about 525,600 minutes in a year (365 * 24 * 60). This means for every single minute in the year about 11.4 illegal aliens have entered the United States.

So...while the extra 20 minutes of humiliating screening at the airport is taking place, about 228 illegals have entered the country.

Just for the sake of discussion, any of these could be an al-Qaeda operative, capable at least of taking a shit in the rinse water for, say, spinach. Doesn’t the spinach crisis strike you as being quite peculiar? How come an exact cause has not yet been identified? Why just spinach? The bigger question is this: if al-Qaeda was behind the spinach based e-coli epidemic, would Homeland Security actually admit this? I seem to recall one of the recent “Cry Wolf” warnings was that our food supply is in danger.

Well, maybe it is.

Anyway, Hound Dog finds it interesting that after the horrible magnificence and extreme complexity of the 9/11 hijackings, the best al-Qaeda can come up with since is Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, an idiot that had trouble lighting a match.

Is Hound Dog the only one that thinks the entire situation really smells bad? Has logic taken a holiday? Perhaps the airport screening has another purpose beyond the obvious? How come we cannot really believe anything we hear anymore?

From Mexico, to Grandma’s Underwear

Could it be this simple? Are the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s and the Bush Administration’s refusals to enforce our Federal laws on illegal aliens and close down our borders, actions that at least eighty percent of legal American citizens are in favor of, part of plan to keep Mexico stable, and supply cheap labor at below minimum wages to American businesses? After all, the total amount of money sent back to Mexico by illegal Mexican aliens exceeds the income from its national oil business. Right now, Mexico has to import cheap labor to fill out its own labor force, so at present there are not large numbers of unemployed workers causing trouble south of the border.

On the situation four years ago, Senator John McCain, in a letter dated February 10, 2004, said, “Every year, millions of people enter this country legally, in a monitored and controlled manner. However an increasing number of people risk their lives to cross our borders illegally. According to the U.S. Border Patrol apprehension statistics, it is estimated that almost four million people crossed our borders illegally in 2002.”

Read letter.

Hound Dog thinks the most recent figure is six million illegal border crossers, any of whom could be drug smugglers or terrorists.

Are we really supposed to think that al-Qaeda operatives cannot simply walk over an unguarded border? After all, they walk everywhere in one of the most inhospitable places on the planet, the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Mexico to the USA is a stroll in the park, compared to that.

Al-Qaeda’s goal is to spread terror and cause economic damage to the United States. They don’t have to smuggle in weapons and explosives. The Washington DC snipers pretty much cleared the streets for weeks, and caused multi-millions of dollars in damages in the Maryland – Washington DC corridor a few years ago.

Why do we only hear about high-tech, elaborate, highly coordinated schemes involving airplanes, when real low-tech, low cost operations would work just as well?

Hound Dog thinks looking through grandma’s underwear prior to boarding an airplane is a total waste of manpower.

FBI: “No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”

Hound Dog did notice that on Osama bin Laden's FBI wanted poster, he is not wanted for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Cleaning up the crime scene, as discussed yesterday, is looking more significant. Here is an article discussing the FBI position in detail.

FBI says no hard evidence

Apparently only the news media has indicted bin Laden. Edward R. Murrow, where are you now that we need you?

World Trade Center CSI…Not!

A few short hours after the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the mainstream news media quoted unidentified government sources as saying that Osama bin Laden was behind the attacks.

Sadly, we all bought this story and in our minds the Arab world became our enemy. Since then, our subsequent actions have managed to piss off 1.5 billion Moslems. Yes folks, that is a headcount of one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) actual and potential enemies, approximately five times the legal population of the United States.

Let’s get this straight. There were no prior warnings that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks, yet almost immediately afterwards we identified the head perpetrator?! Case closed – crime solved! Wow, huh?

This must be why the crime scene was cleaned up as soon as possible, without any forensic investigation at all. Also, investigators were barred, with a few exceptions, from examining the evidence at Staten Island where the debris from the WTC was stockpiled prior to disposal, supposedly because it was too dangerous. Odd, because the airborne version of the debris at ground zero was pronounced safe to breath while the site was being cleaned up as rapidly as possible. [Of course we now know some workers from the WTC site are suffering from catastrophic lung and intestinal disorders – another story mostly unreported]. A good portion of the steel in the debris was shipped overseas in short order to make new steel.

Lets see what the mastermind had to say about his crime. In his post 9/11 interview with Pakistani reporters, Osama bin Laden said, “I stress that I have not carried out this act, which appears to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation. ... I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. ... I had no knowledge of these attacks.”

Of course, you might say, he denies it because he is guilty!! If you did, Hound Dog is quite disappointed with you, as faulty logic causes more whines than usual. When has Osama bin Laden and/or al-Qaeda ever not taken the credit for their actions? That is the whole point, to spread terror, yet the biggest action of all was denied.

Now you are going to mention the bin Laden that is in the grainy, out of focus, black & white confession clip where he brags and gloats about how his attacks on 9/11 far exceeded his expectations. This is the fifty-pound overweight, Rolex watch and gold ring-wearing bin Laden – “Fatty” bin Laden. The real Osama was well over six feet tall, scrawny, on dialysis, and a Moslem fundamentalist, besides, a group who do not believe in wearing jewelry for show. Fatty bin Laden is also right handed. According to the FBI wanted poster, and multiple other references, the real Osama is left-handed!

All protests from the Moslem world that the subsequent Osama bin Ladens are fakes, are discounted by our mainstream media, if they bother to report this at all. After all, who can trust anything our 1,500,000,000 new enemies have to say? Apparently, after the B&W fiasco, the fakers decided to stick with audio-only clips, and that’s all we have had since that can actually be properly dated.

Perhaps the ones that keep claiming the audio clips are authentic should be under investigation? This would be those on both sides of the fence, from Aljazeera to whoever is doing voice authentications in Washington.

A hunting we will go!

Hound Dog says, when you have questions like, “How does Osama bin Laden get kidney dialysis while hiding in a cave in the tribal areas of Pakistan, where running water and interior plumbing are but a distant memory for him?” go with that thought. Another might be, "When was the last time a crime scene was completely cleaned up, and the evidence destroyed, before anybody was even indicted?"

Update on the War on Drugs

In 2004, opium cultivation thrives under US occupation in Afghanistan. “With 131,000 hectares dedicated to opium farming, this year Afghanistan has established a double record -- the highest drug cultivation in the country’s history, and the largest in the world.” Check United Nations report here.

Pervert pushes nukes off center stage, 'til now

Almost two weeks ago, in my posting of Friday, August 18, 2006, I remarked, "...now we are all watching endless coverage of the fake JonBenet Ramsey killer, John Mark Karr to take our minds off the over-hyped London terror plot." When the TV news today gets sick of whining about the Boulder CO DA, and discussing the big rainstorm in Florida, they'll be moving on to the next obsessive-compulsive TV news story. I predicted North Korean nuke tests would be up next. I hope not.

I can't be the only one who noticed the North Korean nukes' brief appearance in the center ring, only to get the hook to make room for the prissy pervert from Thailand, drinking champagne on the way to Boulder, and making a fool out of the criminal justice system, TV news bunnies, and anyone else that confused his now-publicized sick fantasies for evidence.

What do possible nuke-capable “Axis of Evil” wannabies learn from our conduct?

1. If we pretend a country (Iraq) has a nuclear weapons program, we will invade, destabilize their society, and create a proving ground for al-Qaeda.

2. If we suspect a country (Iran) is on the verge of producing an actual nuclear weapon, we make a lot of noise, offer enormous bribes, make threats, call for boycotts and sanctions, etc.

3. If we know a country (North Korea) really does have nuclear weapons, we mostly ignore them. The country never shows up in the news, unless there is a major incident, such as a long-range missile test. When that happens, we refuse to talk to them ourselves. We try to get a gang together for strength and intimidation. And, of course, we make a lot of noise, offer enormous bribes, make threats, etc. There are already boycotts and sanctions in place which, I suggest, is making the situation worse. Animals, people, and countries become really dangerous when they are cornered with nothing to lose.

Yes, Virginia, There Really Are Tunnels Under the DMZ



We have 30,000 – 40,000 active troops in South Korea. They have overstayed their welcome, and are becoming a rallying point for anti-American feelings in that country. Their main purpose, if you spend some time thinking about it, is to put up a good fight trying to stop a North Korean invasion and then die. I suggest there would not even be a fight. North Korea will simply detonate nuclear mines under the American lines in the DMZ, a tactic that found moderately success during WWI using conventional explosives. This ignoble defeat of our troops will so inflame the American people that we will go along with all-out war with North Korea.

See PBS background article here
Information on acknowledged tunnels

Logic tells us to get out of Korea ASAP. We should rig it so South Korea asks us to leave, then simply leave. There is a better chance of peace with that immediate action. (Can we learn something from our overstay in Saudi Arabia?) Even in the worst case, I doubt a unified Korea would be any more of an actual threat to the USA than North Korea is right now. (A unified Vietnam was not, for example). If it is, we simply will have to use more nukes than we originally thought, trying to turn a seriously mountainous country into a radioactive slagheap.

Reality really sucks, doesn't it....?

I was thinking this morning, with the Katrina nostalgia clips playing on various TV news channels, especially MSNBC, that we have a window into the future showing us the level of care that will be provided by the federal government after someone detonates a nuke, or worse, inside the USA.

There’s MAD, and then there’s positively insane…!

For the period of the Cold War standoff between the USA and its NATO allies, and the Soviet Union and the other Warsaw Pact nations, it is generally understood that the unofficial Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) Doctrine probably prevented nuclear war for about forty years. If you think about it for a moment, for this to even work at all required incredibly sane people to be in charge on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The ultimate decision makers had to have a clear understanding of cause and effect, and especially had to be able to conceptualize and understand consequences.

Now consider the situation in the Middle East. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad heads one of the world’s fastest growing fledgling nuclear powers. Just last October he said Israel, "…must be wiped off the map." Friday, April 14, 2006, he goes on to say, "…the Zionist regime is a dying tree, and soon its branches will be broken down." Can anyone make the case this is a sane person?

Israel recently added two more nuclear capable diesel electric submarines to its fleet of three, for a total of five. See Boston Globe news story These two new Dolphin class subs, “[Are] fitted with a new German technology in which the propulsion system combines a conventional diesel lead-acid battery system and an air-independent propulsion system used for slow, silent cruising, with a fuel cell equipped with oxygen and hydrogen storage,” according a very recent Jerusalem Post article. This makes them virtually undetectable.

According to a World Net Daily article, "While the European Union or United States could possibly absorb a nuclear attack by Iran's fledgling nuclear arsenal and survive, Israel could not." It goes on to say, "Neither could the status quo be maintained by the old Mutually Assured Destruction Doctrine that kept the Soviets and Americans at bay for 40 years. The Soviets were pragmatic enough to know that a nuclear attack on the United States would mean national annihilation. They could be trusted not to commit national suicide." "But Iran marches to an entirely different drum. Iran is motivated and driven by an Islamic-based ideology that glorifies martyrdom for Allah. This is why it is the wellspring of suicide bombers. This is one of the main reasons that Israel developed a last-resort nuclear-defense policy known as the "Samson Option." You will recall that when all was lost, Samson took down all his enemies with him in his death. "The "Samson Option" is an operational plan that can be implemented on very short notice. If Israel sees that it is about to be overrun or faces annihilation by weapons of mass destruction, the "Samson Option" will immediately kick in. There would be very little left of the Muslim Middle East after that."

Pure logic says to survive in a nuclear scenario, Israel has to strike first. For those that are wondering if the Israelis have the will to survive by using a plan that will require them to kill more innocent people than Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin combined, examine your heart and ask yourself this question. If my family and country were on the verge of annihilation at the hands of foreign fanatics impervious to logic, and I have the means, would I kill them, their families, relatives, friends, neighbors, and countrymen, and render their country uninhabitabital? I think very few would say no in answer to this question.

There is no there there...!

This is follow-up to the Wednesday August 16, 2006 question here about the passenger screening frenzy on USA domestic airline flights.

See this article.

Apparently the timing of the recent media circus' focus on the London Terror plot may be the only reason for the coverage in the first place. Exposure of that plot triggered endless hysteria about passenger screening on USA domestic flights. It certainly removed Israel's humiliating inability to defeat Hezbollah right off the TV, didn't it? And now we are all watching endless coverage of the fake JonBenet Ramsey killer, John Mark Karr to take our minds off the over-hyped London terror plot. Does anyone thinks this psychotic meld of Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates) and Lee Harvey Oswald is the actual killer of poor little JonBenet?

The real excitement is wondering what the next "big" story will be, probably starting tomorrow, to take our minds off the JonBenet killer fiasco, after officials finally admit there is no case there. My guess it will be the North Korean threat to test detonate a nuclear device.

I think Gertrude Stein's line, "There is no there there," pretty much sums up the current state of TV journalism.

So...what really happened to the people on Flight 77?

The official version of events says the magnitude of impact and resulting fires at the Pentagon on 9/11 were enough to cause all traces of Flight 77 to disappear, including two nine foot diameter titanium and stainless steel jet engines, fires so hot that there was not even a pool of melted steel to mark their disappearance, yet enough pieces of people were left over for DNA analysis. Where did those pieces really come from?

[Actually three items were recovered: 1. A flimsy piece of aluminum painted in United Airlines colors, with no burn marks, light enough to be carried with one hand, found resting on the pristine lawn in front of the damaged building; 2. A souvenir on Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon desk, that he referenced in a TV interview; and 3. Something fairly large, hidden by a blue tarp, yet small enought to be carried casket style, and hustled away by a small detachment of militaty men. Photos of these three items are available on the internet.]

Does anyone see anything really odd...?

Does anyone see anything really odd about the most recent foiled terrorist plot? According to Bread & Circuses, i.e., the TV news media, the following are facts: 1. All the plotters were based in England, and all but a few are in custody; 2. No elements of this plot were discovered in American after extensive investigation; 3. The targeted flights all originated in England, with a destination in America.

Questions: 1. Why are they shaking down passengers on all domestic flights in the USA? 2. If the authorities are so worried about copycats, why are not these measures taking place in every airport in the world that has flights destinated in the USA? 3. Why isn't all baggage screened, or are all terrorist smart enough to get through personal screening, but not quite smart enough to rig an automatic device? 4. How come there is still no in-depth screening performed on the support infrastructure, such as food catering, cleaning services, baggage handlers, maintenance workers, refuelers, etc.?

I think this is a big show designed to cover up the fact nobody has a clue what to do. In the past the authorities said they were foiling plots all the time, but could not discuss them because of revealing too much information to our enemies...what's different now?

A last minute revelation is that running passengers' shoes through the x-ray machine does not detect explosives, a procedure that has been in effect since the so-called shoe bomber was foiled. Gee, thanks AP for letting all the terrorists know they can carry explosives in their shoes.

Why, indeed? Think about it...

To put rumors to rest that the moon landings were faked, why doesn’t someone simply point the Hubble telescope toward the moon, pick up the lunar rover, and show everyone?
