Guam in Danger og.....
Mike, I do agree with you. just looking at the person shows he isn't holding a full deck. The statements and general comments made by him are way over the the limit of reasonable. I compare him with the welfare recipent that suddenly came up with the $10,000.00 bucks to run for congress, and since most every sane person that would have voted him down was on vacation that day, he was elected. Maybe he needs to move to Guam for awhile. That may cure him of the habit of saying stupid things. Bet there are people living on Guam that would set him straight on that matter. The American voter had best wake up, and elect people that will help our Country, not tear it apart. Mr. Gibs may be leaving the administration now. Just as long as they don't replace him with jon stewart. The comedian that went to congress last week. I believe that was him, but could be wrong. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
Comedian(?) in Congress ......
Aren't they all?
No John, that was "Colbert" i.e. --- "Col-BEAR".
What an ABSOLUTE waste of our time and tax money! :mad::mad::mad::mad:
You are correct about the electorate, John ..... truly half of them
have either gone brain dead, or had their brains atrophy.
What could be construed as the new pandemic :eek::eek::eek: ....
the early onset of alzheimers. ;););)
comedian in Congress
Thank you Mike for the correction. I just had a thought it was wrong. Colbert. Thats the joker that certainly doesn't need Gibbs' job if he leaves. If the social security had been doing their job, they would have taken the $10,000.00 filling fee the joker used to run for congress while on welfare, and put it back in the system. It should all be voided. Also, the big mouthed congressman should resign, like a few others I could name. I appreciate being corrected, as I am human, and can mis-state for sure. Hope all are as well as you can be, and have good ones. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
Bingo!
Yep! I said 'Bingo'!
YA'LL KNOW WHAT THE GAME 'BINGO' IS ALL ABOUT. RIGHT?
THIS LITTLE 'URL' HAS BEEN IN MY BOOK-MARKS FOR YEARS. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT; SOME NOT BUT IT IS WORTH POSTING THE URL SINCE I CAN'T DRAG IT TO THIS BOARD; MUCH LESS USE THE LANGUAGE.
THE 'URL' IS: http://elsmar.com/level2/Bingo.html
JUST COPY AND PASTE AND GO THERE; MAKE YOUR OWN CARD AND WORDS OR LEAVE THEM AS IS. I SAY MAKE YOUR OWN WORDS (NOT NUMBERS) LIKE IN CONVENTIONAL BINGO. THIS ONE USES WORDS.
WHEN YOU GO TO THIS PAGE PLEASE REVIEW THE 'WORD'S ON THE 'BINGO' CARD; THEY ARE BY AND LARGELY STILL RELEVANT INTO THESE DAYS ECONOMY AND FOREIGN POLICY WHICH MEANS IT IS RELEVANT TO OUR FORCES IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND ELSEWHERE.
BTW, AFTER LOOKING AT THE BINGO CARD SCROLL DOWN AND READ THE TESTIMONIALS.
LIKE ANY BINGO GAME YOU WILL NEED SOMEONE TO CALL THE WORDS; THEN YOU WILL NEED AT LEAST (TO MAKE IT INTERESTING) AT LEAST FOUR PLAYERS.
IT IS CALLED: 'B.S.' BINGO. READ THE RULES AND THE REST WILL BECOME SELF EXPLANATORY.
AS FOR COLBERT IN FRONT OF THE SENATE HEARING; I DON'T THINK IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. AFTER ALL THAT SAME ROOM HAS HEARD FROM OTHER CELEBES LIKE ROCK STARS, COSTNER; AND A HAND PUPPET.
AS THE MEMBER WHO INVITED COLBERT REMARKED; SHE HADN'T SEEN THAT MUCH MEDIA ATTENTION IN THAT ROOM SINCE THE THE CLINTON IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS.
THE ONLY COST TO US WAS THE HOUSE AND SENATORS SALARIES IF REDUCED TO AN HOURLY COST; AND IT APPLIES TO ANYONE WHO IS HEARD BEFORE THAT PANEL REGARDLESS OF THE ISSUE.
AT LEAST COLBERT GOT MEDIA ATTENTION AS WE GO INTO THE NOVEMBER INTERIM ELECTIONS; WHICH BTW WAS DEVOTED TO ILLEGAL MIGRANT WORKERS THAT AMERICANS WOULDN'T DO.
THEY'D RATHER BE ON WELFARE; MOREOVER IT IS STRANGE THAT THE FILTHY RICH WOMAN RUNNING FOR OFFICE FIRED HER LONG TIME ILLEGAL MEXICAN MAID WHEN THE MEDIA BEGAIN CHECKING ON HER.
THE WOMAN WHO IS MARRIED TO A FILTHY RICH MAN CLAIMS HE HIRED THE ILLEGAL WHO WORKED FOR THEM FOR SOME NINE YEARS I THINK. THAT IS B.S.
THIS COUPLE ARE BILLIONAIRES OR CLOSE TO IT; AND NO ONE WITH THAT MUCH MONEY WOULD HIRE AN ILLEGAL WITHOUT DOING A VERY IN-DEPTH BACKGROUND CHECK ON HER.
SO THEY BOTH KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
AS FOR GUAM AND THE PERMANENT BASE BEING BUILT THERE I WOULD THINK THAT THE AF WOULD BE BAILING OUT OF KADENA AS WELL TO RELOCATE TO GUAM ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ON THAT YET.
IF YOU RECALL; GUAM WAS A MAJOR STAGING AREA AND HAD RUNWAYS TO HANDLE THE B-52'S THAT DID THE CARPET BOMBING OVER VIETNAM.
REMEMBER? 'ARC-LIGHT', 'ROLLING THUNDER', ETC.
SHIFTING GEARS: CRAZY 'MOE' OF IRAN NOW WANTS TO NOT ONLY TAKE OUT ISRAEL OF COURSE; BUT ANY OTHER SO CALLED 'MODERATE' MUSLIM COUNTRIES LIKE, JORDAN, EGYPT, TURKEY, ETC.
A FRIEND OF MINE ASKED ME THIS MORNING VIA EMAIL WHY WE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING ISRAEL? WELL, THEY ARE OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST MORON COUNTRIES LIKE IRAN, SYRIA, PAKISTAN, SAUDI ARABIA AND THE U.A.E. AND MORE THAN LIKELY IRAQ.
AS YOU ALL KNOW THE BIG 'O' TOLD THE STATE DEPT. TO PUT AMERICANS IN EUROPE ON 'ALERT' WHICH IS JUST SHORT OF A WARNING. HAD IT BEEN A WARNING THEN THE WORD WOULD HAVE BEEN RETURN TO THE USA BECAUSE IF YOU REMAIN IN EUROPE YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. RIGHT?
SPAIN PULLED OUT WHEN AL-QUAEDA HIT THEIR TRAINS IN MADRID. I THINK IT WAS MADRID.
FRANCE IS ON HIGH ALERT SINCE THERE HAS BEEN TWO BOMB THREATS ON THE EIFFLE TOWER TWICE IN A TWO WEEK PERIOD.
AMERICANS HAVE SHORT MEMORIES. SO DO EUROPEANS. WE ALL SEEM TO THINK THAT THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST BEGAN AFTER 9/11. NOT SO. THE MUSLIM TERRORISTS HAVE BEEN HITTING US AND OUR ALLIES LONG BEFORE THAT.
IN AUGUST 1998; BIN LADIN HIT TWO AMERICAN EMBASSIES IN AFRICA IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES SIMULTANEOUSLY. NEITHER TERRORIST GROUP KNEW OF THE ATTACK ON THE OTHER EMBASSY. UBL KEPT THAT INFORMATION COMPARTMENTALIZED JUST IN CASE ONE OR THE OTHER WAS COMPROMISED.
GERMANY HAS BEEN HIT BY TERRORISTS RECENTLY. WHAT MANY SEEM TO FORGET IS THE ATTACKS DURING THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN MUNICH, GERMANY IN THE 70'S (I THINK IT WAS THE 1970'S; I DON'T RECALL THE EXACT YEAR).
DURING THE GAMES IN MUNICH MUSLIM TERRORISTS ATTACKED AND KILLED AND WOUNDED MANY OF THE JEWISH ATHLETES FROM ISRAEL. REMEMBER THAT?
I FORGOT; AFGHANISTAN IS 'NOT' OUR FRIEND.
AS YOU LOOK AT OUR NINE YEAR WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH IS A NO WIN SITUATION; BE SURE TO PLAY YOUR 'B.S.' BINGO CARD AND SEE HOW IT SEEMS TO COME TOGETHER (CONNECT THOSE DOTS).
ALSO CHECK OUT THE GUY FROM N.C. WHO WANTS TO CUT VETERAN BENEFITS AND HAVE THEM 'GIVE BACK'. HE'S NUTS.
RIGHT NOW ENLISTMENT IS VOLUNTARY; THERE HASN'T BEEN A 'DRAFT' SINCE VIETNAM. IF THIS MORON FROM NORTH CAROLINA HAS HIS WAY; THEN THERE WON'T BE ANY VOLUNTEERS.
WHILE WE SHOULD PULL OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST; IT WON'T BE FOR A WHILE.
IN THE MEANTIME IF VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT STOPS DUE TO THIS GUY'S NOTION OF GIVING BACK AFTER TROOPS RETURN; MAKING A BUFFET OF SACRIFICE THEN WE MAY SEE THE DRAFT COMEBACK.
THIS IS WHERE YOU STAND UP AND SHOUT, "B.S.!"
BINGO!

SEMPER FIDELIS
Holy smokes! What a day, yesterday!
I don't know where to start.
NONSENSE ... START WITH SOMETHING AND TRY NOT TO FORGET MOST OF IT.
OKAY. WE HAVE THE BIG 'O'S EURO TRAVEL ALERT; A NOTCH BELOW A WARNING.
IT WOULD APPEAR THE EUROPEANS ARE GOING FULL TILT BOOGIE (AS IN FURTHER THAN THE BIG 'O').
IT SEEMS THAT THE EURO'S HAVE PUT MOST OF THEIR AIRPORTS AND OTHER MEANS OF TRAVEL ON THE HIGHEST ALERT BASED UPON PAST AL-QUEADA HITS IN AIRPORTS WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE KILLED OR WOUNDED (THESE WERE SHOWN ON THE MEDIA YESTERDAY). THESE WERE SOME YEARS AGO; THEY BELIEVE IT WILL GET WORSE.
MEANWHILE THE CONVOY BOUND FOR AFGHANISTAN AND SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTED BY THE PAKISTANI'S IS LARGELY DESTROYED; AS IN MOST OF IT. OUT OF 150 VEHICLES THERE MAY BE FOUR OR FIVE STILL INTACT. THAT IS STILL PENDING AS WE ATTEMPT TO START A NEW CONVOY FROM KARACHI.
THEN WE HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE GERMAN NATIONALS WHO ARE AL-QUEADA WHO HAVE GONE THERE TO TRAIN THEN RETURN TO GERMANY TO CARRY OUT ATTACKS; SOME OF THEM CLEARLY WERE SHOWN ON TV (NO MASK).
ONE WOULD THINK THAT WOULD MAKE THINGS EASIER. (FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE), ETC.
THEN WE HAVE THE TERRORIST THAT FAILED TO BLOW UP HIS CAR IN TIMES SQUARE AND WAS CAPTURED BEFORE HE COULD HEAD BACK TO DUBAI.
HE GOT LIFE IN A FEDERAL PRISON (AT OUR COLLECTIVE EXPENSE); AND TOLD THE JUDGE THAT THE DOWNFALL OF AMERICA WAS IMMINENT.
WHY HE WASN'T SENT TO GITMO; TRIED THERE AND INTERROGATED FOR EVERYTHING HE HAD IN HIS BRAIN; THEN EXECUTED AND DUMPED IN THE ATLANTIC IS BEYOND ME.
WHICH BRINGS US TO THE N.R.C. (ACRONYM AGAIN) FOR 'NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION).
MOST MODERN COUNTRIES HAVE LOTS OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS; ALONG WITH SOME ROGUE STATES; LIKE IRAN, N. KOREA, ETC. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.
NUCLEAR PLANTS BASICALLY COME IN THREE TYPES. (I'M WINGING THIS SINCE IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN PLAYING NUCLEAR PHYSICS).
YOU HAVE PLANTS DESIGNED FOR POWER (ENERGY CONVERTED TO ELECTRIC), THEN YOU HAVE SOME THAT ARE INTENDED FOR ENERGY PLUS WHAT THEY CALL 'BREEDER' PLANTS THAT PRODUCE SEVERAL BY PRODUCTS OF RADIO ISOTOPES FOR INDUSTRIAL USE OR PERHAPS OTHER USES. LET YOUR IMAGINATION PLAY WITH THAT.
THEN WE HAVE PLANTS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO TAKE URANIUM AND MAKE OR PRODUCE PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE USED TO PRODUCE NUCLEAR TIPPED WARHEADS.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. REMEMBER '3-MILE ISLAND'? ... OR THE RUSSIAN ONE THAT WENT FUBAR AND CAUSED A MAJOR DISASTER NOT THAT LONG AGO?
IT SEEMS THAT ONE OF OUR NUCLEAR PLANTS HAD A MUSLIM WORKER WHO WORKED THERE FOR SIX YEARS BEFORE HE QUIT AND RETURNED TO YEMEN, WHICH IS WHY ALL OF OUR NUCLEAR PLANTS ARE ON EXTREME HIGH ALERT AS OF NOW IF NOT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.
I AM ASSUMING THIS MUSLIM WHO SPLIT TO YEMEN WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO; BECAUSE HE APPARENTLY GAVE HIS LITTLE TERRORIST BUDDIES INTELL ON HOW TO TAKE OUT OR SABOTAGE ONE.
I AM SURE TEHRAN ALREADY KNOWS THIS. WHY THE DELAYED ALERT IS BEYOND ME.
NOW TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT CAN GO WRONG ON PURPOSE OR BY ACCIDENT; YOU MAY HAVE RECALLED THE OLD MOVIE WITH ACTOR JACK LEMON.
IT WAS CALLED 'THE CHINA SYNDROME'. IT MEANS THAT IF THE COOLING POND FOR THE SUPERHEATED RADIOACTIVE RODS FAILS THEN THERE WOULD BE A MAJOR MELTDOWN WHERE THE COOLING POND FAILS AND BASICALLY BURNS THRU THE BOTTOM OF THE REACTOR UNTIL IT HITS A WATER TABLE UNDERGROUND ... THEN WOULD KEEP GOING; AS IN BURNING IT'S WAY THRU THE EARTH TO THE OTHER SIDE OR IN THIS CASE 'CHINA'. HENCE THE TERM AND NAME.
THAT IS AN EXAGGERATION OF COURSE; WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS IF THE COOLING POOL FAILED AND THE SUPERHEATED RODS HEATED UP ENOUGH TO CRACK THE FLOOR OF THE COOLING POOL THEN HIT A WATER TABLE OF COLD WATER WITH THE RODS 'OVER-HEATED' YOU'D HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A 'MELT-DOWN' OR A BIG KA-BOOM.
WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENED IN THE REACTOR INCIDENT SOME YEARS BACK IN RUSSIA.
IT WAS AN INTERESTING MOVIE EVEN THOUGH 'HANOI JANE FONDA' WAS PART OF THE MOVIE. WATCH IT ANYWAY IF YOU CAN FIND IT. FORGET JANE. YA'LL SELL HER CALL HOME BUMPER STICKERS ANYWAY.
THE JIST OF THE MOVIE WAS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO SOME OF THE OLD COLD WAR MISSILE LAUNCH SECURITY PROTOCOLS.
IN THE OLD SOVIET COLD WAR MOVIES THE TWO GUYS IN THE SILO ON DUTY WERE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER BY A DISTANCE THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW ONE OR THE OTHER TO REACH THE OTHER'S CONTROLS FOR SAFETY REASONS; WELL... MORE THAN JUST SAFETY BUT OTHER REASONS; SUCH AS ONE GOES BANANAS, ETC.
IN THE MOVIE 'CHINA SYNDROME' IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME SAFETY PROTOCOL; OR AT LEAST IT USED TO BE.
YOU BASICALLY HAD TWIN CONTROL PANELS WITH LOTS OF WIDGETS AND STUFF AND A SENIOR PERSON ON ONE AND A SECONDARY (IN THIS CASE ACTOR JACK LEMON) ON THE OTHER.
BTW: THE REACTOR INCIDENT AT 3-MILE ISLAND WAS SORT OF A MELTD-DOWN THAT DIDN'T GO KA-BOOM DUE TO SOME FAST ACTING PERSONNEL BUT IT STILL CONTAMINATED A RIVER AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
SO...
IN THE 'CHINA SYNDROME'; LEMON (THE ACTOR) SEES SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COOLING POOL; AND TELLS HIS BOSS ON THE OTHER SIDE WHO DISAGREES.
THE BOSS THINKS IT'S A GLITCH AND WANTS TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME RUNNING HOURS OF DIAGNOSTICS WHICH OF COURSE (ACTOR) LEMON BELIEVES IS A WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME.
SOLUTION: TAKE CONTROL AND ACT IMMEDIATELY. SO LEMON GETS UP FROM HIS DESK AND WIDGETS AND GOES TO THE SECURITY GUARD AND SOMEHOW GETS HIS SIDEARM.
THEN HE REMOVES HIS BOSS AND THE GUARD AND ANY OTHER PERSONNEL FROM THE CONTROL ROOM AND PUTS THEM OUTSIDE OF THE PLANT WHERE THEY ALERT THE FEDS, AND ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO SHOW UP.
HE BARS THE DOORS SO THEY CAN'T BE OPENED.
IF I RECALL THE MOVIE CORRECTLY WHICH IS SLIM BUT POSSIBLE; LEMON THEN SOUNDS AN ALARM FOR ANY PERSONNEL IN OTHER AREAS OF THE PLANT TO EVACUATE. WHEN EVERYONE IS GONE BUT HIM HE BEGINS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE BIG MELT-DOWN (KA-BOOM).
I THINK HIS CONTROLS AND THE OTHER SIDE CONTROLS SHOW WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS HAPPENING. SO....
LEMONS ONLY SEES ONE SOLUTION; GO DOWN AND TRY TO STOP THE COOLING POOL FROM LOOSING WATER AND RE-COOLING THE SUPERHEATED RODS MANUALLY.
OF COURSE FOR HOLLYWOOD REASONS THE WATER SOURCE (VALVES) TO AUTOMATICALLY KEEP THE POOL OPTIMAL HAVE FAILED BUT HE HAS TO TURN THEM ON MANUALLY WHICH IS A SLOW HARD PROCESS; MEANWHILE HE'S BEING EXPOSED TO LETHAL RADIATION.
EVENTUALLY IF I GOT THIS OLD FLICK CORRECT; LEMON GETS THE WATER VALVES BACK ON TO FILL THE POOL AND STOP THE MELT-DOWN BUT IN THE PROCESS HAS RECEIVED A FAIRLY LETHAL DOSE OF GAMMA RADIATION.
MEANWHILE... THE FEDS AND TWO OLD HOLLYWOOD CRITICS (SISKEL & EBERT) THINK LEMON IS DELIBERATELY TRYING TO INDUCE A MELT-DOWN WHICH OF COURSE HE'S PREVENTED KNOWING HE WILL DIE.
ONCE THE MELT-DOWN IS STOPPED LEMON RETURNS TO THE CONTROL ROOM (DYING FROM RADIATION EXPOSURE); WHILE 'HANOI JANE' (A REPORTER) VOLUNTEERS TO MEDIATE THE SITUATION TO CONVINCE HIM TO OPEN THE DOORS TO THE CONTROL ROOM ... (HANOI JANE'S INTERVENTION AS A MEDIATOR) SOUND FAMILIAR?
SHE CONVINCES HIM TO OPEN THE SECURITY DOORS WHERE THE SWAT GUYS KILL HIM. LATER IT IS DISCOVERED THAT HE WAS NOT SABOTAGING THE PLANT BUT SAVING IT. 'THE END' ... I THINK?
SO WE HAVE A MUSLIM GUY WHO WORKED IN ONE OF OUR PLANTS FOR SIX YEARS AND KNOWS OUR SECURITY; OR MOST OF IT. AND HAS PASSED IT ON TO HIS BUDDIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH INFO THAT IS BETTER THAN NO INFO.
SO THE BIG QUESTION IS; IF THE PLANTS ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR ATTACK THEN WHY DID THE BIG 'O' FALL SHORT OF A FULL SCALE WARNING FOR EUROPE AS THEY ARE GOING FULL ON RIGHT NOW?
MOREOVER IF THE BIG 'O' THOUGHT RISK TO AMERICANS WAS NOT THAT GREAT THEN WHY DID HE ORDER ALL MILITARY AT RAMSTEIN (SPELLING?) BASE IN GERMANY TO NOT LEAVE THE BASE IN UNIFORM BUT IN CIVILIAN CLOTHES?
THAT IS STUPID.
THE MUSLIMS ARE WATCHING THE BASE. IT WOULD BE SMARTER IF ALL THE BASES' FAMILIES WERE MOVED INSIDE; HOUSED AND NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE; THEN ANY MILITARY WHO DO LEAVE GO OUT 'IN UNIFORM' WITH WEAPONS IN GROUPS OF FOUR OR MORE. TO ME THAT MAKES MORE SENSE.
I WENT TO BED EARLY LAST NIGHT AND APPARENTLY MISSED SOMETHING. OKAY; I MISSED MOST OF IT.
THOSE OLD COLD WAR MISSILE SILO FLICKS WERE INTERESTING. YOU HAD TO HAVE A CODE; CONFIRMED; ENTERED, RE-CONFIRMED BEFORE A LUANCH THEN BOTH HAD TO BE ENTERED AT THE SAME TIME AND THE KEYS TURNED AT THE SAME TIME TO PREVENT ANY ERRORS OR SOMEONE GONE NUTZO.
THE SAME THING APPLIES TO OUR PLANTS; ESP. THE ONES THAT PRODUCE SPECIAL WEAPONS WHICH IS ONE OF THE PLANTS THE MUSLIM WORKED AT FOR SIX YEARS.
AS FOR THE MOVIE 'CHINA SYNDROME' MOST OF THE MAJOR ACTORS IN THE FLICK ARE DEAD EXCEPT FOR 'HANOI JANE'?
WHILE WE LOST 150 VEHICLES IN THAT CONVOY IN PAKISTAN THEY STAGING A NEW ONE FROM KARACHI. NOT SURE WHY? SINCE IT WILL BE HIT AS WELL.
I GUESS THE GOOD NEWS IF ANY IS THAT WE USE BE CARGO PLANES TO FLY OUR SOLDIERS; GEAR, WEAPONS AND AMMO IN FROM ANOTHER ROUTE AND NOT VIA A CONVOY.
THEN AGAIN THERE WAS RECENTLY A LARGE CONVOY OF PEOPLE LEAVING FOR KUWAIT THAT WERE HIT; NOT CERTAIN WHY. GUESS THE PEOPLE WITH TIGHT RAGS WRAPPED AROUND THEIR HEADS DIDN'T WANT ANY OF US TO LEAVE.
WEIRD? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THEIR GOAL? I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUR GOAL?
I'M CONFUSED. THE MUSLIMS WANT US OUT; WE WANT OUT BUT THEY (THE MUSLIMS), WON'T ALLOW IT? AM I MISSING SOME PART OF THAT JIG-SAW PUZZLE WITH A FEW PIECES MISSING OR WHAT?
GOT TO SHUT DOWN THE BOX AND GO WATCH MEDIA TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
MEANWHILE I'LL PONDER THE PRO ISSUES OF CAP ON TRADE AND WONDER WHY IT'S NOT ENFORCED?
DANG! MY SGT. GRIT USMC COFFEE MUG WAS MADE IN CHINA. I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!

There is 'dumb & dumber'; & 'worse and worser'
A lot of stuff has happened since the last post on this thread.
I'M THREE DAYS BEHIND AND THEN SOME...
YESTERDAY; IT WOULD APPEAR A MAJOR FLIGHT OUT OF PHILLY WAS CANCELLED AND ALL PASSENGERS TAKEN OFF; THEN THE PLANE WAS MOVED AWAY FROM THE TERMINAL TO UNLOAD AND CHECK ALL BAGGAGE.
DURING THE BAGGAGE LOADING PHASE/AREA; TWO BAGGAGE HANDLERS NOTICED A THIRD GUY WITH NO I.D. BADGE LOADING LUGGAGE. THE GUY SPLIT AND SO FAR TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAS NOT BEEN CAUGHT.
TSA ( WHAT A CROCK); SAYS NOTHING WAS FOUND IN THE LUGGAGE.
MEANWHILE NO ONE MENTIONED THAT ALL THESE AREAS ARE COVERED WITH SECURITY CAMERAS SO SOMEONE MUST BE LOOKING AT THEM TO SEE WHO THE 'MYSTERY GUEST' WAS.
IT'S PROBABLY ANOTHER 'TEST' TO SEE HOW EASY THE TERRORIST CAN PENETRATE ANY ASPECT OF AN AIRPORT.
IF A TERRORIST CAN GET INTO THE LUGGAGE AREA WITH NO BADGE OR I.D. IT FOLLOWS THEY CAN GET TO MORE (SECURED) AREAS; USING THE TERM LOOSELY.
AIRPORTS USE PERSONNEL WITH I.D.'S AND BADGES AND LIKE THE MILITARY THEY USE COLORED JUMPSUITS TO IDENTIFY WHOSE WHO.
WHILE SOMEONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE TARMAC FUELING THE PLANE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT; IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF A GUY LIKE OUR MISSING LUGGAGE HANDLER WAS OUT THERE?
THEN YOU HAVE THE PEOPLE WITH A DIFFERENT JUMPSUIT AND BADGE THAT GOES ON BOARD; CLEANS THE AREA PLUS OTHERS WHO BRING ON THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE CARTS TO RESTOCK THAT AREA.
THEN THERE MUST BE SOMEONE WITH A DIFFERENT JUMPSUIT AND BADGE WHO IS ALLOWED ACCESS TO THE COCKPIT TO CLEAN IT. THIS IS THE PART WHERE ANYONE CAN PLANT SOMETHING OR SAY, PUT A WEAPON IN A BATHROOM, ETC.
CHANCES ARE THAT INSIDE THERE ARE NO SECURITY CAMERAS. AND IF THERE WERE; THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THEM AS WELL. RIGHT?
THIS IS THE PART WHERE WE CAN OR SHOULD SAY: 'IF WE CAN THINK OF IT SO CAN THE BAD PEOPLE'.
IT WOULD APPEAR THEY HAVE THOUGHT IT ALL OUT; BUT WE HAVE NOT! I THINK THE BAD GUYS KNOW THAT AS WELL.

MEANWHILE AFGHAN-LAND PREZ. CAR-SIDE IS TALKING PEACE WITH THE TALIBAN.
WHY?
IF THEY COME TO SOME AGREEMENT THEN THAT MEANS THEY CONTROL CAR-SIDE.
'CONTROL' IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TALIBAN AND AL-QUEADA.
THE TALIBAN ONLY WANTS TO CONTROL BY FORCE USUALLY; WHERE THE AL-QUEADA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CONTROL; THEIR GOAL IS DESTRUCTION. IT'S THAT SIMPLE AND THAT COMPLEX.
IT GETS MORE CONFUSING WHEN AL-QUEADA WITH ENDLESS FUNDS GIVES MONEY AND WEAPONS TO THE TALIBAN?
...AND YA'LL THOUGHT 'FAUST' MAKING A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL WAS A BAD IDEA.
MEANWHILE...
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY WE ARE ABOUT TO SPEND MILLIONS TO MAKE A NEWER VERSION OF THE EXISTING $100 DOLLAR BILL?
HAS IT BEEN REPRODUCED WITH ALL THE FANCY MARKS AND SUCH TO PREVENT FORGERY? I THINK WE'VE HAD THAT DANCE MORE THAN ONCE ALREADY.
FORGING FAKE CURRENCY AND COIN HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING MEANS OF UNDERMINING THE ENEMY. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR BACK THIS TACTIC GOES BUT I DO KNOW THAT IN 1929 THE FILIPINO GOVERNMENT TRIED TO FLOOD OUR COUNTRY WITH FAKE SILVER DOLLAR COINS.
I HAD ONE ONCE. THE FILIPINO GOVERNMENT DID IT FOR THREE YEARS. 1929, 1930, 1931. THINK ABOUT IT.
WW-II DIDN'T BEGIN ON DECEMBER 7, 1941. IT ACTUALLY BEGAN IN 1931 WITH THE JAPANESE INVASION OF MANCHURIA. THEY WERE THINKING AHEAD; WE WERE NOT.
FINALLY AFTER ABOUT TEN YEARS PASSED, FDR STOPPED THE MINT'S FROM PRODUCING ONE DOLLAR SILVER COINS; FOR THREE YEARS. IDEA BEING TO STOP MINTING OUR SILVER DOLLARS SO WE COULD PULL OUT ALL THE FAKE ONES FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
IT WORKED; SORTA... BUT REMEMBER IN THOSE DAYS PEOPLE WERE STILL PUTTING COINS AND CASH IN COFFEE CANS AND BURYING THEM IN THE YARD BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TRUST BANKS OR THE ECONOMY; SORTA LIKE TODAY.
AS A TEEN IN THE EARLY 60'S BACK IN IOWA; A FRIEND OF MINE AND I; BOUGHT AN EARLY VERSION OF A HAND HELD METAL DETECTOR AND ON WEEKENDS WE WOULD GO TO OLD ABANDONED FARM HOUSES AND BARNS AND LOOK FOR BURIED CANS OF COINS. WE FOUND SOME INTERESTING STUFF.
NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN SOMEONE HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE US AND FOUND THE LOOT.
DURING WW-II THE FEDS DID THE SAME THING THE FLIPS DID TO US. WE FLOODED JAPAN, GERMANY AND ITALY'S BANKS WITH BOGUS CURRENCY.
WE PROBABLY DO IT NOW IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH IS MORE THAN LIKELY WHY WE HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO CREATE A NEW HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE. JUST A HUNCH.
______
ON THE POLITICAL FRONT (I CONSIDER IT A WAR BETWEEN THEM AND US); WE HAVE THIS WOMAN RUNNING FOR CONGRESS WHO SAYS SHE WAS INTO SATANIC WITCH-CRAFT IN HIGH SCHOOL.
SHE CLAIMS THAT IS IN THE PAST AND IF ELECTED SHE WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING YOU WOULDN'T DO. VAGUE? YA BETCHA.
REMINDS ME OF AN OLD SONG; IN PART THAT GOES ... 'DO THAT VOODOO YOU DO SO WELL...'
BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE IN THE DISTRICT OF CONFUSION WANT TO KNOW IF SHE IS ELECTED WOULD SHE BE A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK? I'D VOTE: PROBABLY.
VOODOO MAGIC PRACTICED IN THE EL CARIBE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME AND IS PRACTICED NOW. IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A 'SHELL GAME' (WHERE'S THE PEA?).
YOU DON'T REALLY THINK THESE WITCH-DOCTORS CAN RAISE THE DEAD TO WALK AMONG US DO YA?
THE WAY IT WORKS IS PERTY SIMPLE. ESP. IF YOUR CRAZY ENOUGH TO GO TO A JAPANESE RESTAURANT AND EAT THE PUFFER FISH FOR THE LITTLE NEURO-TOXIC BUZZ.
WHAT THE VOODOO GUYS DO IS TAKE A LIVING PERSON AND GIVE THEM A WEE BIT OF A NEURO-TOXIN LIKE PUFFER FISH OR OTHER TOXIN FROM THE OCEAN LIKE THE CLOTH OF GOLD SHELL. JUST A BIT. IT PUTS THEM ASLEEP THEN AFTER THREE DAYS IT PASSES (PROVIDING THEY DO IT RIGHT AND DON'T KILL THE GUY); THEN HE OR SHE WAKES UP.
THE PEOPLE ARE IN A STATE OF 'SHOCK N' AWE' (NICE SEGWAY); THEN THE WITCH-DOCTOR KILLS A FEW CHICKENS FOR DRAMA AND BASICALLY IT'S HALLOWEEN EVERYDAY DOWN THERE. SORT OF LIKE WASHINGTON, D.C.
______
WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE MUSLIM CHAPLAIN THAT KILLED 13 PEOPLE AND WOUNDED SEVERAL OTHERS AT FORT HOOD.
SOMETHING SIMILAR LIKE THAT HAPPENED AGAIN, NOT LONG AFTER THAT FIRST INCIDENT; THEN IT WOULD APPEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE PAST WEEK BUT I HAVE NO DETAILS ON IT SINCE FORT HOOD HAS PUT A LID ON IT.
________
YESTERDAY I WATCHED AN INTERVIEW WITH A WIFE WHO HAS HER HUSBAND AND FOUR SONS ON ACTIVE COMBAT DUTY IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
I WAS FAILY SHOCKED. MAKE THAT TOTALLY SHOCKED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AGAINST THE LAW SINCE THE FOUR SULLIVAN BROTHERS WERE LOST IN THE ATLANTIC BY A GERMAN SUBMARINE DURING WW-II.
WHILE SAD, THE SIMPLE FACT IS THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND IS EXPENDABLE. HOWEVER HER FOUR SONS ARE NOT. THEY SHOULD NOT BE THERE. IF ALL WERE KILLED THERE WOULD BE NO SURVIVORS TO CARRY ON THE FAMILY LINE.
AT LEAST TWO SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE STATES AND GIVEN JOBS WHERE THEY COULD NOT BE AT RISK. AND/OR HONORABLY DISCHARGED.
THE REAL KICKER TO THE INTERVIEW WITH THE WOMAN WAS HER STATEMENT WHERE SHE STATED, 'WE SHOULD PULL EVERYONE OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST BECAUSE IT IS A NO WIN WAR'.
THEN SHE ADDED; 'THE RUSSIANS SPENT 12 YEARS THERE BEFORE THEY REALIZED IT WAS A LOST CAUSE'.
THEN SHE SAID, 'WE NEED TO PULL OUT EVERY AMERICAN IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITHOUT BROADCASTING A DATE OF WITHDRAWAL; WHICH WOULD ONLY GIVE THE ENEMY AN ADVANTAGE; BUT RATHER SHE SAID WE SHOULD PULL OUT ALL AT ONCE WITHOUT ANY NOTICE TO ANYONE'.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE WITHDRAWAL; NOT TO MENTION THE IDEA OF NOT BROADCASTING IT; BUT RATHER JUST DO IT WITH NO WARNING TO ANYONE.
THOSE TROOPS COULD BE BETTER SERVED ON OUR BORDERS.
___________
FINALLY I AM SURE MOST OF YOU WATCHED THE SUPREME COURT ALONG WITH THE NEWEST MEMBER AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE ENTER A CHURCH BEFORE THEY CONVENED TO HEAR SEVERAL PRESSING CASES.
THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ATTEND CHURCH WHILE ALLOWING MANY AGENCIES TO REMOVE PLAQUES OR MONUMENTS THAT STATE 'IN GOD WE TRUST'.
NOW FOR THE SCARY PART AS WE GET CLOSER TO HALLOWEEN AND THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS (IT'S HARD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE).
THERE ARE 'RUMORS' IN WDC WHERE SOME SENATORS AND REPS WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO GIVE THE SENATE AND HOUSE CONTROL OVER THE SUPREME COURT.
THIS WOULD CONSTITUTE A NATIONAL REVOLUTION. THE FOUNDING FATHERS CREATED THREE SEPARATE ENTITIES; THE CONGRESS, OVAL OFFICE AND SUPREME COURT (SEPARATION OF POWER) TO PREVENT JUST SOMETHING LIKE ONE TAKING OVER ANOTHER.
WHILE THIS IS TOTALLY INSANE IT IS WITHIN THE RELM OF POSSIBILITY. WE WOULD BE; ESSENTIALLY A TOTALITARIAN COUNTRY (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A DICTATORSHIP).
A LITTLE DITTY BEFORE I CLOSE THIS POST. THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IS UNDER ATTACK AGAIN. A JUDGE JUST RULED SOME KID DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY THE PLEDGE. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME.
I THINK A CASE WAS SET IN 1947 WHERE THE JUDGE RULED THAT SOMEONE DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY THE PLEDGE IN A PUBLIC (GOVERNMENT FUNDED SCHOOL).
SO HERE WE GO AGAIN AND I HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING TO ADD TO THAT.
This is in the San Diego Union Tribune today. There seems to be some flack here, once again, about whether or not kids have to say the pledge. What a great depiction of some attitudes we see in this country today. God bless our troops.

How do you like your 'Chilie'?
The great 'chilie' wars, like the great 'who makes the best pizza' wars are more or less an american on-going contest.
WELL... HERE'S THE RUB.
WE ALL WANT TO SEE THE MINING GUYS TRAPPED IN THAT MINE IN CHILIE SAVED. I DID UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO. NOW I DON'T REALLY CARE. WHY?
THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK...
WELL, FOR STARTERS WE (THE TAXPAYERS) SENT N.A.S.A. DOWN THERE TO INSTRUCT THE MINING COMPANY ON HOW TO HANDLE SMALL, LONG TERM ENCLOSED SPACES WITHOUT FREAKING OUT FROM CLAUSTROPHOBIA.
WHY? PEOPLE WHO WORK IN MINES DON'T HAVE CLAUSTROPHOBIA; OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T BE WORKING IN THAT INDUSTRY. RIGHT?
CHILIE COULDN'T GET THEIR OWN PEOPLE OUT OF THE MINE SO A WEST VIRGINIA MINING COMPANY COMES TO THE RESCUE WITH EVERYTHING.
THEY BROUGHT THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT AND DRILLS AND RIGS AND EQUIPMENT AND WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE ALL THE CHILIE MINERS OUT OF THERE THIS COMING WEEK.
WILL CHILIE PAY THEM FOR THAT EXPENSIVE HELP WHEN THE WEST VIRGINIA COMPANY COULD HAVE REMAINED IN CONUS WORKING THEIR OWN MINES? PROBABLY NOT.
YEAH, THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE...
ABOUT TWO DAYS AGO; SEVERAL COUNTRIES WHO HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN SMUGGLING DRUGS INTO THE UNITED STATES PROTESTED THE STATE OF ARIZONA FOR IGNORING OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT; AND PROTECTING THEIR OWN BORDERS FROM DRUG SMUGGLERS.
AMONG THESE COUNTRIES THAT FILED FORMAL PROTESTS TO WDC; INCLUDED ...
TA DA! CHILIE, MEXICO (A GIVEN), COSTA RICA, MOST OF LATIN AMERICA, COLUMBIA (OF COURSE), BOLIVA? (THAT IS ODD), PERU, VENEZUELA AND MORE. IT SHOULD ADD UP TO ELEVEN OR TWELVE OR MORE COUNTRIES.
I'M SURE MORE WILL CLIMB ON THE BAND WAGON OF PROTESTS.
SO... I SAY SCREW'EM. HAVE THE WEST VIRGINIA MINING COMPANY PULL OUT NOW AND TAKE ALL THEY'VE BROUGHT DOWN TO CHILIE AND RTB TO CONUS.
PERU? IT'S A POPULAR DESTINATION FOR MANY PEOPLE (MANY AMERICANS) WHO GO THERE TO SEE THE ANCIENT RUINS. IT IS ONE OF PERU'S BIGGEST CASH COWS. WHY NOT PUT IT OFF LIMITS AND LET THEM SUFFER UNTIL THEY DISMISS THEIR PROTEST AGAINST ARIZONA? WORKS FOR ME.
COSTA RICA: A POPULAR AREA THAT HAS FOUND A LARGE SOURCE OF INCOME FROM AMERICANS WHO WISH TO LIVE THERE. SHUT IT DOWN UNTIL COSTA RICA DISMISSES THEIR PROTEST AGAINST ARIZONA.
BOLIVIA IS A MYSTERY. ONLY AMERICANS I KNOW OF WHO WOULD HAVE WANTED TO GO THERE WERE 'BUTCH CASSIDY' AND 'THE SUNDANCE KID'. IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WELL.
THESE COUNTRIES WHO ARE PROTESTING ARIZONA FOR PROTECTING IT'S OWN BORDER WITH MEXICO IS ONE THING. HOWEVER IT GETS BETTER... (MAKE THAT WORSE).
THEY CAN ALL FUNNEL THEIR STUFF INTO THE STATES VIA MEXICO. ON THE OTHER HAND THEY ALL SEE IT'S GETTING HARDER TO SMUGGLE STUFF IN; SO THEY ALL ARE USING BACK-UP PLAN 'B'.
PLAN 'B' IS THE SAME COUNTRIES USING PEURTO RICO (AN AMERICAN TERRITORY) TO SMUGGLE STUFF IN.
THIS WAS IN THE NEWS THE OTHER DAY. PEOPLE BUSTED WERE COPS, AND AT LEAST TWO FBI AGENTS INVOLVED IN THE SMUGGLING. IT IS STILL ON GOING AND I EXPECT THE TOTAL BUSTS TO GO WELL OVER A HUNDRED.
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR CHILIE NOW? I LIKE IT OUT OF A CAN; UNLESS IT'S A COLD WINTER NIGHT THEN I WILL MAKE A POT OF IT FROM SCRATCH.
BTW ON THE DRUG FRONT.... ANYONE KEEPING TABS ON THE INCIDENT ON THE TEXAS/MEX BORDER ON LAKE FALCON?
I LIKE MY CHILE STIRRED THEN LADLED ON A CONEY DOG; NOT SHAKEN.

Anyone care for a sandwich?
Since the 'Earl of Sandwich' came up with the idea it's become an American staple.
THEN WE HAVE THE 'MORON SANDWICH'.
BASICALLY 'YOU' ARE THE FILLING TRAPPED BETWEEN TWO PIECES OF 'MORON BREAD'. HENCE THE OLD TERM, 'TRAPPED BETWEEN A MORON SANDWICH'.
WE SEEM TO BE TRAPPED BETWEEN IRAN'S CRAZY FAKE PRESIDENT 'MOE' AND THE NEW CHOSEN ONE IN THE NORTH KOREAN 'KIM JUNK ILL' REGIME; WHERE HIS CIVILIAN KID WAS PROMOTED TO LIKE A 40 STAR GENERAL.
THAT IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL MEANING OF BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN A MORON SANDWICH.
CRAZY MOE OF IRAN HAS FLIPPED AGAIN AND WANTS TO TALK PEACE WITH THE USA. YEAH, RIGHT. WHEN MONKEY'S FLY OUT MY BUTT.
ON THE OTHER SIDE; KIM JUNK ILL IS CONSIDERING MORE PEACE TALKS WHILE HE PARADES MILLIONS OF NAZI-LIKE GOOSE STEPPING MILITARY AND HARDWARE PAST HIS REVIEW STAND.
*NOTE: SINCE EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY IS IN THE MILITARY; N. KOREA DEPENDS ON FOOD DONATIONS FROM MANY COUNTRIES TO FEED HIS ARMY.
ANYONE CATCH THE VIDEO OF THE LAVISH BANQUET HE HAD? MY GUESS IS IT WASN'T FROM FOOD STAMPS.
IRAN AND N. KOREA ARE DRACONIAN DICTATORSHIPS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS AN
'IDIOCRACY'. YEP, IT MEANS TOTALITARIAN BUT THE WORD LOOKS LIKE 'IDIOT' COMBINED WITH A SUFFIX. ACTUALLY IT SHOULD READ 'IDIOT-CRAZIES'.
N. KOREA IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. WITH EVERY PERSON (MILLIONS) IN THEIR ARMY; WHO SENDS THEM ALL THEIR FOOD?
WE NEED TO SEE A LIST OF THE FOOD CONTRIBUTERS; THEN PUT TOTAL EMBARGOES ON THOSE COUNTRIES AND CUT OFF N. KOREA'S FOOD SUPPLY.
IF NOT THEN N. KOREA KEEPS ON GOOSE-STEPPING AND THREATENING ALL OF ASIA AND THE UNITED STATES.
PERSONALLY I THINK N. KOREA STOLE CAR MAKER TOYOTA'S NEW THEME SONG: 'UNSTOPPABLE'. GIVE ME A BRAKE! (YES 'BRAKE').
SO WE'RE COLLECTIVELY TRAPPED INSIDE A MORON SANDWICH; COULD BE AN 'OREO'?
N. KOREANS ARE ASIANS LAST TIME I LOOKED. WHAT FOOD DOES IRAN SEND THEM? PORK?
SINCE 1954 THE ONLY THING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS SENT NORTH KOREA IS 'HARSH LANGUAGE'.
IRAN WANTS TO TALK PEACE WITH THE USA; WHICH IS DOUBLE-SPEAK FOR STALL AND DELAY; WHILE THEY STILL TRY TO UNDO THE DAMAGE TO THEIR NUCLEAR FACILITIES FROM THAT WORM.
THEN WE STILL HAVE CAR-SIDE TALKING 'PEACE' WITH THE TALIBAN? IF SUCCESSFUL I ASSUME THE TALIBAN WILL ELIMINATE CAR-SIDE AND HIS BROTHER 'BOTH-SIDES'.
REMEMBER THE TALIBAN IS ABOUT 'CONTROL'. THEY DON'T LIKE TO SHARE.
________MEANWHILE:
ANYONE PICK UP ON THE NEWS YESTERDAY IN NYC WHERE SOME GUY FOUND A TRASH BAG FULL OF C-4? WHO PUT IT THERE AND WHY?
THE OBVIOUS WAS IT WAS LEFT THERE FOR SOMEONE TO PICK UP AND USE. YOU CAN'T JUST WALTZ INTO WAL-MART AND GO TO THE SPORTING GOODS SECTION AND BUY IT.
MY FIRST GUESS WAS IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE COUNTRY VIA A DIPLOMATIC POUCH WHICH IS UNTOUCHABLE VIA A DIPLOMATIC PRIVATE PLANE WHICH IS ALSO UNTOUCHABLE.
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY PREVENTS ANY SEARCH, SCANS, OR CONFISCATION.
__________
NEXT I NEED TO CHECK WITH THE SHANTAG'S IN SKIDMORE TO SEE IF THIS GUY IS ON THEIR LIST. IT'S VIETNAM RELATED AS WELL AS USMC RELATED AND VA RELATED.
YOUR NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS ONE. BUT TRY TO READ THE WRITING ON THE BACK OF THIS GUY'S CAMMIES. TALK ABOUT BOGUS.
I HOPE THIS WORKS. I HAVE A JPEG DISABILITY.
At day's end, he counts his cash - with both fully functioning arms.
When drivers stop for red lights, McMahon, 53, hobbles over and salutes gallantly, juggling a paper cup and a cardboard sign that reads, "Vietnam vet." They give freely.
They are being scammed.
McMahon has two arms -- and was seen using them last week to count the wads of cash he took off kindhearted New Yorkers.
He is not crippled, as was readily apparent when he swiftly dodged inquiring Post reporters.
And it seems he never served in the Marines nor in Vietnam, according to Corps and Veterans Administration officials who could not find any record of him.
But he carries on with his wounded-soldier act, day after day, weaving through traffic and occasionally cursing out people who refuse to give. He's been at it since at least 1987, when he pretended to have a missing leg and pushed himself around in a rusty wheelchair, according to a friend.
Tuesday, The Post spotted the bearded, one-armed bandit at 4:30 p.m. at Ocean and Foster Avenue, where he limped over to the windows of idling vehicles and held up his cup.
Many gave dollar bills. He yelled an expletive at a driver who turned him away.
Some gazed at the back of his jacket, which claims he served in Vietnam from 1972 to '73.
At 5:09 p.m., McMahon quit for the day, darted across Ocean Parkway's seven lanes with surprising agility and walked briskly east along Foster.
Two blocks later, McMahon adjusted himself and quickly thrust his left arm out from under his jacket. He used both hands to count his cash.
When he realized a photographer was taking his picture, McMahon tried to hide his left arm by putting it behind his back, then spat and screamed obscenities at the lensman, threatening to kill him. "I'll put a bullet in the back of your head," he howled.
The ugly scene was not unfamiliar to police and prosecutors.
They say McMahon is a menace with a rap sheet of 20 arrests, many for disorderly conduct and "fraudulent accosting" -- legalspeak for scamming victims on the street. His most recent collar came on May 27, when 66th Precinct cops found him blocking traffic at Ocean Parkway and Beverly Road at 12:50 p.m.
Wednesday, a reporter posing as a passer-by asked how he lost his limb. He winced in mock pain: "I don't like to talk about it."
Asked about his service, he claimed he was with the Marines' 2nd Division and fought in Vietnam in 1972 and '73.
Robert Gainey, a 68-year-old vet who did two tours in Vietnam as an explosives expert, has known McMahon for 23 years -- and doubts he was in the war.
"Us guys who are still around, we can spot each other right away," he said. "We've talked about the war. And he's said things to me that you can read in a book or see in the movies. He didn't say anything to convince me he was really there."
Gainey said he first spotted McMahon in 1987 in a wheelchair on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, pushing himself among motorists and begging for money.
"He had his leg tucked up underneath him," said Gainey. "He was pretending he lost it. Later I saw him around here and said, 'Oh, s--t, this guy's from Brooklyn.' "
The leg apparently recovered. But then the arm went.
"He's been doing the fake-arm thing for at least 20 years," said Gainey. "He's crazy as a bat. Everyone around here knows about it."

For years, Brooklyn commuters have opened their wallets for Robert McMahon, handing cash to this heroic and heartbreaking figure, a Vietnam vet in combat fatigues, his left arm missing and his right leg crippled, as he panhandles on Ocean Parkway in Kensington.
He plays to their patriotism, having scrawled his nickname, "Rambo," on the back of his camouflage jacket, along with his years of service with the Marines and two stints in 'Nam that saw heavy action. The top of his empty left sleeve is pinned to his uniform shoulder, and he drags his bum leg behind him.
WELL, I COULD NOT GET THE JPGS TO COME UP; THE FIRST ONE DID THEN WENT SOUTH WHEN I DID THE SECOND ONE; HOWEVER YOU CAN CLICK ON THEM AND IT WILL SHOW YOU THE PHOTOS OF THIS FAKE.
AS STATED READ AS MUCH OF HIS JACKET AS YOU CAN ON THE BACK. BESIDES 'RAMBO' IT SEEMS TO SAY 2ND DIV., BRAVO OR COMPANY 'B'?
WHAT I CAN'T MAKE OUT IS THE LAST TWO LINES; A VIET AREA AND A HILL NUMBER.
WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH THE VA AND THIS GUY HAS BEEN DO THIS FOR 23 YEARS?
ON THE OTHER HAND THE 'REAL' USMC RVN VET WHOSE KNOWN HIM FOR ALL THAT TIME AND KNOWS HE IS A FAKE; WHY DIDN'T HE TURN THAT GUY IN?
I'M GOING TO POST A 'CLEAN' URL SO YA'LL CAN READ MORE ABOUT THIS FAKE. MEANWHILE AS STATED I'M GOING TO CHECK WITH THE SHANTAGS TO SEE IF THIS GUY IS ON THEIR FAKE LIST. IF NOT HE WILL BE PERTY SOON!!!
IF THIS PIECE OF CRAP DOESN'T FROST YOUR CAJONES NOTHING WILL!

anyone care for a sandwich ?
Doc, I do agree its funny that Iran sends korea pork to eat. I would like to see where 8 star new kids country, gets all the food donations. I'd have choked my Mom & Dad, to name me such a name. It would have to be after the Republicans get control again after this Nov., but there could be a cut off of aid to them, by a Small block-ade wouldn't hurt. It could get them to change their attitude. There is one thing for sure. I believe mr. mcmahon will ask the wrong person for a hand out before very long. By the time who-ever gets finished with him, he WILL feel like he has no arm, leg, and then a back end to sit down on. I read on his back----RAMBO,USMC,2nd Div,B comp,0311,Bravo,Vietnam 72-73,Danang.Bin-Wo with either an E, or R,Hilltop,Kill. One thing for certain, he does have both arms and legs. Its not nice to play like you don't have them, as one day you might wake up, and for sure not have them. He will learn the hard way. He has made a lot of money doing it all these years. It is sad he beats the N.Y. people out of their money. The ones that are kind hearted, and gives to him, are the ones that doesn't have much themselves. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
Al-quaida translated means 'the base'
I NEVER KNEW THAT UNTIL YESTERDAY.
BELOW IS SOME COPY AND PASTE FROM AN ON-LINE NEWS ORG. I READ AND I WAS A BIT SURPRISED.
THE TITLE OF THE ARTICLE BELOW WAS: 'HOW TO KILL AMERICANS'.
WASHINGTON -- Yemen's al-Qaida of the Arabian Peninsula is offering chilling magazine tips to would-be militants on how to kill Americans.
"A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, D.C. at lunch . . . might end up knocking out a few government employees," writes one of the authors in the second edition of the group's online, English-language magazine, according to the private SITE Intelligence Group.
The SITE group says it studies, tracks and analyzes the global jihadist network and terrorism financing.
The article in the 74-page October issue of Inspire, launched in July, came just in time for the 10th anniversary of the USS Cole bombing. It shows the group "is not under significant pressure," says Brookings Institution terror expert Bruce Riedel.
Al-Qaida suicide bombers attacked the U.S. destroyer in a Yemen port on Oct. 12, 2000, killing 17 American sailors.
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula has taken root in Yemen's remote and mountainous Shabwa province, far from the reach of the country's weak central government.
The group rose toward the top of the security agenda of the United States and other world powers after it was linked to the failed Christmas Day attempt to down a Detroit-bound U.S. airliner.
The would-be bomber had explosives sewn into his underwear. (AKA: HOT-PANTS).
The magazine's content reveals the group's evolving strategy of rejecting easier-to-stop spectacular attacks in favor of one-man operations, using everyday objects.
That shows the organization is "increasingly agile, lethal and opportunistic," according to Yemeni scholar Christopher Boucek from the Carnegie Endowment.
The first edition included an article called "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom."
This new edition includes "The Ultimate Mowing Machine," which describes how to use a pickup truck "as a mowing machine, not to mow grass, but mow down the enemies of Allah."
It says "to achieve maximum carnage, you need to pick up as much speed as you can while still retaining good control . . . to strike as many people as possible in your first run."
The magazine includes two articles by renegade U.S. cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, (SOUND FAMILIAR?); who is on a U.S. government kill-or-capture list for his alleged roles in the attempted Christmas Day airliner bombing, and inspiring the Fort Hood shooting of 13 troops. Army Major Nidal Hassan has been charged in the killings.
There's also an article by the so-called American al-Qaida, Adam Gadahn.
Another American, Samir Khan, describes how he went from online jihadist in North Carolina to full-time terrorist in Yemen. The article is entitled, "I Am Proud to be a Traitor to America." (THIS GUY SHOULD BE FOUND AND SHOT ON THE SPOT).
The series of articles, combined with a number of recent releases on an al-Qaida version of YouTube, are "broadening their potential audience," says Boucek. "They are brilliant at amplifying their message."
In the introduction to the latest magazine, the editors boast of "recent U.S. assessments" that declared al-Qaida of the Arabian Peninsula "one of the most dangerous branches of al-Qaida." It concludes, "You haven't seen anything yet."
Terrorism expert Paul Pillar of Georgetown University said the way the magazine was written struck him as aimed as much at garnering U.S. media attention as to inspire would-be militants.
The last Inspire magazine drew as much or more comment by Western media outlets than it did on jihadi websites.
I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE JOURNALIST WHO COMPILED THIS REPORT. SORRY.
WHAT I'M STILL WONDERING IS WHY THE MUSLIM MAJOR WHO KILLED AND WOUNDED ALL THOSE PEOPLE IS STILL SITTING IN A CELL AWAITING A TRIAL?
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND OTHERS IS THAT THIS GUY WAS AN ARMY MAJOR; AND UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE ARMY; NOT A FEDERAL COURT.
HE AND HIS FAMILY (IF ANY) SHOULD BE IN GITMO GETTING THE TREATMENT THEN BEFORE A MILITARY TRIBUNAL SENTENCED TO DEATH.
ANYONE CORRECT ME; BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE ONLY PERSON ON ACTIVE DUTY TO LAST BE EXECUTED FOR 'TREASON' WHILE ON ACTIVE DUTY WAS SOME AMERICAN G.I. WHO WAS HUNG FOR TREASON DURING WW-II IN ENGLAND.
I DON'T RECALL HIS NAME.
PS: ACE, GLAD YOU COULD MAKE OUT THE REST OF THAT FAKE'S UNIFORM. I COULDN'T READ THAT BOTTOM LINE BUT THE REST WAS JIBBERISH. I.E., 2ND DIVISION; BRAVO COMPANY? NOTE THERE WAS NO REGIMENT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT ON THERE.
I STILL DON'T GET THE 'RAMBO' PART?
WHAT HE IS DOING IS ILLEGAL ACCORDING TO THE 'STOLEN VALOR ACT'.
IT IS OR CAN BE ASSUMED THAT BY WEARING THAT FAKE CRAP ON HIS BACK HE IS CLAIMING HE HAS A DOD RIBBON/MEDAL, A VSM RIBBON/MEDAL WITH CAMPAIGN STARS FOR THE YEARS HE CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN IN RVN.
I STILL HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO CHECK HIM OUT TO SEE IF THE SHANTAGS HAVE HIM ON THEIR FAKE PAGE. I'LL TRY TO DO THAT THURSDAY.
IF YA'LL GET A CHANCE GO TO THE SHANTAG PAGES ON FAKES AND LOOK UP 'JERRY DON COX' AND READ IS FAKE DD-214 (I BUSTED HIM MYSELF); ALSO LOOK UP 'THOMAS L. SMALLRIDGE' (I AND OTHERS BUSTED HIM AS A FAKE TOO).
THEY KEEP POPPING UP LIKE ROACHES.

Doc, I'm afraid the 1st chance, or when they believe they are ready, all they have to do is have some nut of an i man declare a holy war on us, and there will be well over several hundred thousand rag heads blowing up things, burning anything they can, shooting people, and anything else they can do to dis-rupt our lives in America. Just a matter of time before it happens. There will be a judge found that is not anti Military, or a closet fag like they are, and declare the Stolen Valor Act to be a Law that will be enforced. The Don't ask, don't tell Law, will be enforced as well. The people on Active Duty does not want immoral people to even be around them. I say there will be so many of them beat up, and hurt, they will have to enforce it. Thats my belief. The ole boy that wants to make a living begging people for money acting like he is a Vet, will have some hard times coming, and I do believe soon. Bet when the news gets out about him, the people he made fools of by getting the money from, will be looking for him. Know I would, just if it was to get it back. I have a feeling there are people that will put a big hurt on him, and the many others that are doing it. Doc, its good you have found several of them so far. I have several suspect as well. I'll just bid my time. Have good ones. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
Our national security takes a back seat as usual
Why is that?
WELL, FOR STARTERS WHILE THE MEDIA WAS BUSY WATCHING THE RESCUE OF A BUNCH OF MINERS IN CHILIE LOTS OF THINGS WERE MENTIONED BUT SORTA GOT LOST AND NOT FOLLOWED UP ON RIGHT HERE IN THE GOOD OLD USA.
TWO POSTS BELOW; I COPY AND PASTED AN ARTICLE WHERE AL-QUAEDA WANTS TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO ACT ON THEIR OWN...
WELL, IT WOULD APPEAR DURING THE CHILEAN RESCUE MISSION; SOMEONE DID JUST THAT.
AS USUAL IN THESE 'INCIDENTS' THE MEDIA SHOWS A BRIEF BLURB THEN IT'S GONE. NO FOLLOW UP.
INCIDENT: SOMEONE MANAGED TO GET A TRUCK FULL OF EXPLOSIVES PAST THE OUTER AND INNER SECURITY FENCE OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA.
NOTHING ELSE WAS MENTIONED OTHER THAN THE TRUCK WAS REMOVED AND THE THING WAS TAKEN TO A LOCATION WHERE IT COULD BE ANALYZED THEN DESTROYED IN A SAFE MANNER. THAT'S IT.
WHO WAS THE DRIVER? HOW DID THE DRIVER GET PAST ALL THAT SECURITY TO A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT? SOMEONE HAD TO LET HIM PAST TWO OR MORE SECURED GATES. WHO WAS THAT?
SINCE IT IS OBVIOUS SOMEONE OR MORE THAN SOMEONE ALLOWED THE TRUCK IN; THEN IT FOLLOWS THERE WAS AN INSIDE PERSON OR PERSONS WHICH EXPLAINS WHY THE PLANT WAS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY SO THEY COULD GO THRU EVERY PART OF IT.
REMEMBER THAT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT MELTDOWN I POSTED 'CHINA SYNDROME' WELL YOUR BASICALLY LOOKING AT A POTENTIAL SAME SCENARIO WITH SOME CHANGES DUE TO MODERN TECHNOLOGY.
TRY TO REMEMBER THIS: THE MORE ADVANCED A TECHNOLOGICAL GIZMO IS, THE EASIER IT IS TO DISMANTLE IT OR CAUSE IT TO FAIL.
IT WOULD APPEAR THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK WAS NOT CAPTURED. NOR WAS IT EXPLAINED WHAT WAS IN THE TRUCK THAT HAD TO BE REMOVED TO A SECURE LOCATION TO BE DESTROYED.
MEANWHILE.... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE C-4 FOUND IN NYC; AND WHO PUT IT THERE? THAT WENT OFF THE RADAR TOO.
THEN; TWO YEARS AFTER THE FACT; THE UNDER-WEAR BOMBER (AKA HOT PANTS) GOES TO COURT AND TELLS THE FEDERAL JUDGE; HE'S FIRED HIS ATTNY AND WILL REPRESENT HIMSELF?
I LIKE THAT PART. "A PERSON WHO REPRESENTS HIMSELF HAS A FOOL FOR A CLIENT." [CLARENCE DARROW].
ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS WHY DID IT TAKE TWO YEARS TO GET THIS GUY IN COURT?
ANOTHER QUESTION IS WHY HAS IT TAKEN ABOUT TWO YEARS TO GET THE MUSLIM MAJOR AT FT. HOOD, TO COURT?
IN CONTRAST TO THE TWO ABOVE FEDERAL COURT DELAYS; LOOK AT HOW FAST IT TOOK SEVERAL STATE ATTYS GENERALS PLUS OTHERS TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT WAS PASSED ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO WHEN NO ONE WHO VOTED FOR IT OR AGAINST IT; HAD EVEN READ IT?
LET'S SEE. HANOI JANE GOES TO HANOI AND COMMITS AN ACT OF TREASON AND IS NOT PROSECUTED FOR IT SINCE SHE WAS ACTING AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE SEC. OF STATE?
THEN JOHN KERRY (NOW SENATOR FROM MASS) GOES TO THE PARIS PEACE TALKS DURING THE VIETNAM WAR TO NEGOTIATE WITH HANOI ON HIS OWN WITHOUT BEING SENT THERE BY THE UNITED STATES STATE DEPT. HE IS NOT PROSECUTED.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AMERICAN TURNED MUSLIM TERRORIST (AKA: JIHAD JANE)?
NOW WE HAVE ACTOR GEORGE CLOONEY WHO DECIDES TO GO ON A FACT FINDING TOUR OF THE SUDAN THEN COME BACK ON HIS OWN; NOT SENT BY THE STATE DEPT. BUT RETURNS TO GET A MEETING WITH OBAMA AND ADVISE HIM ON THE SITUATION? HUH?
THEN LIKE I POSTED SOMEWHERE BELOW ABOUT IRANIAN PREZ. 'MOE' WHO IS NOT REALLY THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN BUT JUST A MOUTH PIECE FOR THE AY-YAH-TOLL-A; (WHICH I SAID SOME POSTS BELOW)...
IS NOW IN LEBANON TRYING TO GET THE MUSLIMS TO ATTACK ISRAEL; WHEN JUST LAST WEEK HE SAID HE WANTED TO RESUME PEACE TALKS WITH THE USA?
ISRAEL KNOWS HE IS NOT A REAL PRESIDENT; HE ONLY DOES AND SAYS WHAT HIS LEADER TELLS HIM TOO; SO WHILE THE MASSAD HAS KILLED A FEW IN THE PAST; THEY WON'T TAKE HIM OUT BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE IS JUST A MOUTH PIECE.
PERSONALLY I THINK THEY SHOULD GOWAN AND TAKE HIM OUT. THE BIG 'A' IN IRAN WOULD HAVE TO FIND A NEW MOUTH PIECE. IF THE MASSAD HIT 'MOE' IT WOULD MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE BIG 'A' IN IRAN TO FIND A REPLACEMENT IF SAID REPLACEMENT KNEW HE COULD BE TAKING A DIRT NAP SOONER THAN LATER.
AND 'MOE' STILL SAYS THEIR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP.
MEANWHILE.... THIS GETS VERY CONFUSING. OKAY. ENGLAND IS OUR NATO ALLY AND WITH US IN THE LAND OF AGHAN WHICH IS COSTING THEM BIG BUCKS; I'M NOT SURE OF FRANCE OR GERMANY; THEY HAVE LOTS OF TERRORISTS IN FRANCE AND GERMANY.
SO AS FOR ENGLAND THEY HAVE CAPTURED OR STOPPED SEVERAL TERRORISTS ATTACKS IN ENGLAND... RIGHT? THAT COST BIG MONEY.
SO WHY IN THE HELL DID THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND (WHO IS A FIGURE HEAD BUT HAS POWER TO A DEGREE) ALLOW THE BRITISH GOV. TO BUILD A CRUISE SHIP THAT COST A COUPLE BILLION DOLLARS NAMED AFTER THE QUEEN WHO WHANGED IT WITH A BOTTLE OF WHATEVER THEY DRINK OVER THERE.
I MEAN WHAT A TERRORIST TARGET. WE HAD THE TWIN TOWERS, ET AL.
ENGLAND HAS THE THE ROYAL PALACE; BIG BEN; THEIR FAMOUS SUBWAY SYSTEMS; THE TUNNEL UNDER THE CHANNEL TO FRANCE AND MUCH MORE AND NOW.... THEY HAVE A BIG ASSED CRUISE SHIP THAT CAN BE SUNK FASTER THAN THE TITANTIC.
WE ALSO HAVE MORE THAN ONE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN THE USA. WE HAVE SEVERAL. I AM HOPING THAT THE OTHERS ARE GOING THRU THEIR ENTIRE SYSTEMS AND PERSONNEL FILES FROM THE TOP HONCHO TO THE JANITOR.
IF ONE CAN GET A TRUCK PAST ALL THAT SECURITY THEN THE OTHER BAD PEOPLE WILL TRY IT AT OTHER PLACES; ACTUALLY I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF SOMEONE DIDN'T TRY TO GO FOR THE PHOENIX PLANT AGAIN.
AS FOR THIS LAKE FALCON MURDER CASE. THE DEA DOESN'T HAVE THE MAN POWER OR FUNDS TO DEAL WITH IT.
THE USMC DOES! THOSE HIGH SPEED HYDROFOILS THAT DO UP TO 100 MPH FULLLY ARMED WITH EVERYTHING AND CAN CARRY A PLATOON OF HEAVILY ARMED MARINES. A COUPLE OF THOSE ON THE LAKE WOULD DO THE JOB RIGHT NOW.
LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

Hey Doc. There will not be any real justice for the rag heads until the administration changes. Thats for sure. I feel if they want to go eat in New York, or go on a campaign trail for some looser, they should have to pay for it themselves. Thats not likely to happen. I believe we get the right person on as CIC, there will be several treason trials. There should not be a statue of limitations on them. It all comes down from the top. Now they are saying since the head mex. investigator had his head cut off in the lake murder, they have called the search for the mans body off. They did say, had it been a mex., it would have been solved in 3 days. Thats about right. If they won't put Nat. Guard Troops on the border, they surely will not put a Military craft on the lake. Do they care? No. If I was the man, I'd give all Americans 2 days to get out of mex., and nuke it. Enough is enough. To bad the shorts bomber's bomb didn't go off just enough to blow his legs, and anything else he may have in the area to a bad shape. Not an explosion big enough to hurt anyone else, or down the Aircraft. It is a mess, and so it goes......!!! Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
There is Worse, Worser, & NO-WAY followed by WAY!
This is incredible stuff, and after hearing it 'yesterday', I still can't believe it had I not seen it.
RUSSIA IS ONE OF OUR ALLIES. RIGHT? THEY REFUSED TO SELL IRAN A LARGER MISSILE THAT COULD REACH FAR FURTHER THAN THE ONE THEY HAVE NOW. REMEMBER THAT?
RUSSIA, AMONG OTHER SELECT NATIONS ARE OUR PARTNERS IN THE SPACE STATION. SO THEN...
WHY IS HUGO CHAVEZ THE DICTATOR OF VENEZUELA IN MOSCOW DISCUSSING HOW RUSSIA CAN BUILD THEM A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN VENEZUELA? THAT IS ONE OF THE DEFINITIONS OF INSANE.
NOW, SUCH A PLANT COULD BE USED TO MAKE NUCLEAR MATERIALS AS WELL.
ALL THE BAD GUYS (OUTLAW) COUNTRIES GO THERE; I'M SURE N. KOREA OR IRAN WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE VENEZUELA ALL THE MISSILES THEY'D WANT.
WHICH PUTS US IN A LOT OF CROSS-HAIRS.
CHAVEZ CAN PAY THE RUSSIANS IN OIL. WHAT BOTHERS ME IS N. KOREA, IRAN, SYRIA, THE U.A.E., AND AL-QUAEDA WILL BE ABLE TO GO THERE. THIS IS REALLY A BAD IDEA.
OF COURSE THE MEETING IN MOSCOW WAS TELEVISED; WHICH IS HOW I SAW IT ON TV. SOME TRANSLATION WAS GIVEN OUT; FOR EXAMPLE THE PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA SORT OF REMARKED WITH HUMOR THAT SUCH A DEAL WITH CHAVEZ WOULD REALLY UPSET THE UNITED STATES.
I THINK RUSSIA IS GOING TO DO IT. THIS ONE CAME OUT OF THE BLUE AND BLIND-SIDED EVERYONE WOULD BE MY GUESS; INCLUDING IRAN AND AL-QUEADA.
I MEAN LOOK; CHAVEZ JUST DIDN'T HOP ON AIR VENEZUELA .... SORRY; HIS PRIVATE JET AN JUST FLY TO MOSCOW WITH NO ADVANCE NOTICE OF WHEN OR WHY HE WAS COMING OVER FOR A VISIT. RIGHT? WHAT? HE JUST DROPPED IN TO GIVE THE PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA TWO BARS OF CHOCOLATE AND SOME SPECIAL TROPICAL FRUIT JAM?
________
CORRECT A MISTAKE ON THE OTHER THREAD; THIS YEAR'S DEBT WAS ADDED UP TO 1.6 TRILLION DOLLARS. I THINK I SAID 1.2 TRILLION. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS MONEY WISE OTHER THAN (4). (4) OR FOUR WHAT?
I REMEMBER WHEN THE NUMBER (1) TRILLION WAS ONLY USED IN ASTROPHYSICS.
IF I'M CORRECT 10 X 100,000 = A MILLIONAIRE; THEN THAT X 1000 = A BILLIONAIRE; SO I ASSUME 1000 X THAT = A TRILLION.
I THINK THERE IS A TERM FOR A NUMBER HIGHER THAN A TRILLION X 1000; WHICH I THINK (NOT SURE) IS A 'GOOGLE'.
_____________
I'M STILL UPSET OVER THIS 'DON'T ASK DON'T TELL' WITH HOMO'S IN THE MILITARY, FEDERAL POSITIONS OR OTHER SENSITIVE AREAS; IT IS A HIGH SECURITY RISK; REMEMBER THE 'PILBY CASE' IN ENGLAND DURING THE COLD WAR?
______
PEOPLE KEEP SAYING NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY THESE HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN FORECLOSED. THERE IS A FREEZE ON THAT. DUE TO LENDER FUBAR'S. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY KEEP SAYING NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY.
___________
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THINK THIS RECESSION (WHICH IS A DEPRESSION) IS ALMOST OVER? THAT'S CRAZY. EVEN THE BIG 'O' SAID IT WASN'T.
IT'S CLEAR THAT GIVEN THE CURRENT DEBT IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 15 YEARS TO GET BACK TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE IT HAPPENED; THEN IT WOULD TAKE 150,000 JOBS PER MONTH FOR THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS TO RIGHT THAT WRONG.
DID ANYONE WATCH THIS MORNING SHOW CALLED 'THE VIEW' WHERE THEY HAD BILL O'REILLY ON? HE TOLD THEM MUSLIMS HIJACKED THE PLANES AND HIT THE TARGETS.
THE WOMEN GOT ALL UPSET AND TWO WALKED OUT; THEN CAME BACK. THEY SAID EXTREMISTS DID IT; THEN COMPARED IT TO MCVEY AND HIS PARTNER THAT BLEW UP THE FEDERAL BUILDING IN OKLAHOMA.
THAT IS CRAZY. MCVEY WAS NUTS BUT HIS AGENDA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AL-QUEADA AND THAT IS WHO ENGINEERED AND FUNDED THE MUSLIMS THAT HIT US ON 9/11.
BILL SHOULD HAVE SAID AL-QUAEDA WAS BEHIND IT. THE HE OBJECTED TO THEM WANTING TO BUILD THE SUPER MOSQUE NEAR GROUND ZERO.
THE WOMEN WENT BILLY-GONE-BAT-SH*T AGAIN.
WHAT BILL SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED WAS THE COMMIE FILM MAKER MICHAEL MOORE WHO NOT ONLY WANTED THE SUPER MOSQUE BUILT BUT HE WANTS IT BUILT 'ON' TOP OF GROUND ZERO!!!
NONE OF THE MAJOR BAIL OUT COMPANIES HAVE PAID BACK THE GOV. INCLUDING THE BIG ONE; BOA WHO BOUGHT UP 'COUNTRY-WIDE' AND ALL THEIR SUB PRIME LOANS.
I AM STILL WAITING TO FIND OUT WHICH OF OUR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WILL BE HIT LIKE THE ATTEMPT IN PHOENIX.
I KNOW WHAT YA'LL ARE THINKING: WHAT DOES SOME OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE ATTACK ON AMERICA? NOT TO WORRY. I COMES TOGETHER AS THOUGH IT WERE PRE-PLANNED BEFORE 9/11, MORE THAN LIKELY BACK TO THE ATTACK ON THE U.N. BUILDING.
NOW THE FIGURES HAVE CHANGED; WE NEED 300,000 JOBS PER MONTH FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO BREAK EVEN. I FORGOT TO ADD THE NEW PEOPLE COMING INTO THE WORK FORCE OVER THOSE YEARS. SORRY.
SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE PERMANENTLY OUT OF WORK FOR THE LONG TERM WHO HAVE MORTGAGES THAT ARE IN FORECLOSURE; ARE OPTING FOR PULLING THE PIN BEFORE THE BANK REMOVES THEM FROM THEIR HOME.
THEY ARE BURNING THEM DOWN.
BTW; NOW PELOSI WANTS TO RECONVENE CONGRESS NOW; BEFORE THE ELECTIONS IN A COUPLE WEEKS AND PASS THE EXTENSION OF THE BUSH TAX CUTS. THE DEM'S ARE REALLY DESPERATE.
STAYING IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS COSTING US BIG BUCKS AND ADDING TO THE DEBT. IF WE PULLED OUT TODAY IT WOULD STOP THE ADDING TO THE DEBT BUT ON THE OTHER HAND UNLESS WE BROUGHT EVERYTHING OUT WITH US IT WOULD ADD TO IT.
IN A PERFECT 'NO WARNING SCENARIO' IF WE COULD PULL OUT OVERNIGHT; IT WOULD SAVE US A FORTUNE BUT ONLY PUT A DENT IN THE DEBT. WHY? LOTS OF MILITARY WHO'D BE BACK HOME WITH NO JOBS.
TRANSFER THOSE ON ACTIVE DUTY TO OTHER DUTIES LIKE THEIR HOME STATES; GUARDING BORDERS; OR IN THE MID-WEST OR INLAND; PROTECTING SENSITIVE INFRASTRUCTURE OR BUILDINGS; BRIDGES; ETC.
WE COULD PULL OUT OVER NIGHT; FLY OUT ALL MILITARY; WEAPONS, ETC THEN HELO LIFT ALL THE BIG STUFF OUT OF THERE; ANYTHING WE COULDN'T TAKE PULL THE ELECTRONICS OUT OF IT; HAUL THEM OUT; AND TOTALLY DESTROY THE VEHICLE SO IT CAN'T BE REBUILT; ALSO DESTROY ALL BASES TO RUBBLE. LEAVE NOTHING.
RUSSIA WAS IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 12 YEARS BEFORE THEY GAVE UP; WE'RE COMING UP ON THAT TIME-LINE AND IT'S ALREADY BEING CALLED OUR SECOND VIETNAM.
FROM THE BOMBING OF THE U.N. BUILDING TO 9/11 TO ALL THE OTHER INCIDENTS IN THE USA AND OUR FOREIGN BASES IT'S BEEN A PLANNED WAR OF ATTRITION BY AL-QAEADA FROM THE GIT-GO.
REMEMBER THE AL-QUEADA DESTROYS; THE TALIBAN JUST WANTS CONTROL.
15% OF PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 20 AND 24 CAN'T GET A JOB; THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ONES JUST GRADUATING. THESE ARE GOING TO BE SOME OF THE KEY VOTERS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
THE OTHER BIG VOTING BLOCK WILL BE THOSE WHO DIDN'T GET THE SSA INCREASE THIS YEAR LIKE LAST YEAR.
THIS DRIVES ME NUTS: TV ADS FOR HI-TICKET CARS (AMERICAN MADE) OR EXPENSIVE IMPORTS; WHO IS THEIR 'TARGET MARKET'? NOT THE MIDDLE CLASS; THAT IS FOR SURE.
EVER WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MISSING BAGGAGE HANDLER WHO VANISHED WHEN TWO REAL HANDLERS WITH BADGES NOTICED HE WASN'T ONE OF THEM? I SUSPECT IT WAS AN AL-QUAEDA TEST TO SEE HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO GET TO AIRLINES.
RIDDLE ME THIS: THERE WAS A COMPANY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS THAT HAD A VESTED INTEREST IN THE BP OFF SHORE RIGS; THEN ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE BP RIG BLEW UP ONE OF THREE COMPANIES ON THAT RIG 'HALIBURTON' (SPELLING)? BOUGHT OUT THE HOUSTON COMPANY. WHY?
I THINK; BUT I AM NOT SURE I CAN FIND OUT WHO THAT HOUSTON COMPANY WAS USING AN INSIDER SOURCE THAT DEALS IN INVENTORY FOR COMPANIES BASICALLY INVOLVED IN DRILLING EQUIPMENT.
IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE; BUT I THINK I MIGHT GET AN ANSWER; JUST NOT SURE WHEN.
PLAN-B WOULD BE A POSSIBLE SOURCE IN THE DENVER AREA. WORTH CHECKING INTO.
IF WE LOSE THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM THAT MEANS THE RUSSIANS WILL HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE 'ISS'. CHINA WANTS TO GET INTO SPACE AND GO FOR THE MOON (SOUNDS LIKE JACKIE GLEASON).
THEY HAVE THE BIG BUCKS. I THINK WE SHOULD OFFER THEM A SPACE IN HOUSTON AND NASA TO FUND CONTINUED SHUTTLE MISSIONS SO WE DON'T GET CUT OFF BY OBAMA WHICH WILL HAPPEN SOON. MANY HAVE BEEN LAID OFF ALREADY; SO THEY NEED TO BE REHIRED.
THE QUID PRO QUO MIGHT BE THAT CHINA WOULD LOVE TO BE PARTNERED WITH US BUT MIGHT WANT US TO STOP PROTECTING TAIWAN. JUST A THOUGHT.
THE SHUTTLES DON'T HAVE TO BE SCRAPPED. THEY COULD ADD DOCKING PORTS FOR ALL OF THEM TO THE 'ISS' AND ALSO CARRY UP THEIR SPARE PARTS; CHINA COULD ADD ALOT TO THAT. JUST MY OPINION.
CHINA WANTS TO BUILD A BASE ON THE MOON; NOT JUST LAND ON IT LIKE WE DID; AND LEAVE. THOSE SHUTTLES COULD BE USED TO TRANSIT FROM ISS TO THE MOON BASE AND BACK.
THEY ALSO MIGHT BE ABLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE NOTION OF CHAVEZ GETTING A NUCLEAR PLANT. WHO KNOWS?
_________
OBAMA HAS STATED THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM HAS DONE NOTHING FOR US BUT COST US MONEY. HE'S NUTS. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED WITH THE PROGRAM FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE MERCURY PROJECT.
LIKE MOST MILITARY EFFORTS THE TECHNOLOGY TRICKLES DOWN TO THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN'S USE. THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND IS THE EXPERIMENTS WITH RADAR WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO OUR MODERN DAY MICROWAVE OVENS.
IN THE END, EVEN IF WE GOT ALL THE FUNDING WE COULD FROM CHINA IT WOULD NOT STOP THE WAR OF ATTRITION AND THE AL-QUEADA ATTACKS ON THE USA.
WE OWE CHINA A TON OF MONEY; THAT COULD BE EASILY OFFSET BY MAKING THEM OUR PARTNERS IN SPACE; THE MOON, AND MARS. NOT TO MENTION A BASE ON THE MOON WOULD ALLOW US TO MONITOR THE EARTH FOR KILLER ASTROIDS.
RUSSIA IS STILL GETTING UP AND DOWN BASICALLY LIKE WE DID IN THREE MAN CREWS ON TOP OF A ROCKET DURING THE APOLLO MISSIONS.
PEOPLE HAVE A FEAR OF CHINA. WHEN CHINA BY LAW GOT HONG KONG BACK FROM THE BRITS THEN MACAO; THEY DIDN'T TOUCH IT; ONCE THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS A MAJOR SOURCE OF FREE MARKET REVENUE.
THEY ARE MORE CAPITALISTIC THAN OUR CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IS.
MORE AS I GET IT.... RIGHT NOW MY WIFE IS PISSED AT ME? I'M CONFUSED.

attack on America-war against.....
Doc, I'll express my feelings on points you brought up. I feel russia is still on the outs with us (in closed doors), because of what Reagan did. They would most likely like to see us fall and good. Even with the simpleton in orfice, we will pull out of this self induced depression sooner than it is expected. I do believe. chavez wants a nuc plant so he can bring us missery like iran and un is doing now. Like I said before had my Mom and Dad named me un, I'd let the air out of our old vehicle at the time. I bet un cuts big brother off from his 500 to 800 million bucks a year when he takes over, that is unless he has him harie-carried before that happens. You are so right about n.korea giving chavez more than all the missles they need. Its most likely happening right now. Do you realize that we went to the muss-slum countryies, with a trip by the nassa, to include them in the space program. Thats all it will take, soon as what ever (sand flea), goes, he will blow the whole thing up in the name of allieoops. We get more stupid as a country every day. When bamma looses the prez position in '12, bet he cries. I don't like the way he bought the judge out that initially gave the boot to auntie that has been living against the law here for a very long time. It was a sell out, and no one can tell me other wise. She is in no more danger in her dirt floor home in wherever, than his half brother is there now. He just married a very young teen age girl just a week or so ago. (AH che-wa-wa). Yes russia will build a nuke power plant for chavez. Your right russia needs the oil, more than we do. Your mistake on the debt, was only 400 Billion bucks. Not nothing compared to what fannie mae, and freddie got. You know after both of them got the Billions of dollars in bail outs, they hired 2, and 3 other small companies to administer it all out. That way the small companies are not accountable to the senate. They only have trillions of dollars in homes they can't fore close on now. I don't feel bad for them. If they are so stupid to let walmart, and a few other companies sign the foreclosure papers, then they deserve to not be able to have control of them. My wife and I, own 5 homes that does NOT have a mortgage. I bought my Mom and Dads home from them before they died. I have 3 here, and my wife has 2 new ones in Arkansas, and all 5 are clear title, no thats deed. I wonder how we were able to pay for them, and all these millions and millions of people can't. She has a 35 cent job, and I am on va comp. We were just smart enough not to do dope, and pay the house payments instead. I'm bout half right on that. Its called responsibility. The banks were told by franks,(the funny one in the house), told them to sell the homes to anyone that wants one, wether they can pay for them nor not. Bet they going to regret it in just a short time. I have no sympathy for them. There were several banks that on their scams were buying porches, mansions, and God only knows what else with their bail out money, and fraud home money. That just came out about 4 am this morning. I agree with you on the don't ask, don't tell garbage. I say make them a seperate service, away from the straight decent Men and Women that DOES NOT want to even be around an immorial person. Bet they go to hell for it. I wouldn't want to be around one because when God decides to pull another sodom and gomora, I don't even want to be in the same state as any of them, but beause of the closet judges, and congress men, and women, I have to. Just like the judge that had the pecker pump on during trials, I still get a kick remembering him. Nothing happened to him I don't believe. he still got his retirement and all benifits. Funny world, HUH. No the depression is not over by a very long moon shot. Big o doesn't know what a recession, and a depression is in the 1st place. I believe it would take much less time to get out of this mess, you say 15 plus years. If we STOPPED all foreign aid no matter to who, we could do it in half that time(neva-hapen -gi's). I don't think its to good an idea to let china in on the space station at all. They would just cut the tie lines to the russian, and US space Pilots, and do a take over. Real simple. What would we do? Nothing we could do. Its going to be blown up like I said when we let the 1st person with towels on their heads go up to it. We won't have to worry about it at all except where all the un-burnable parts will hit the earth at. I should stop watching Star Trek re-runs since goldie, and the other trans-sexual did what they did to Bill O'Reilly. It was a staged deal. I believe its a muss-slum thang too. The muss-slum people all believe the same, so I wouldn't turn my back to one. Even the tamed ones we have over here, well over 300 plus thousand. I've said it before, but you let an i man say 'AHAHAH-YA-AH-HA-HA-YA-YO', attack those infadels now, and we will have a shooting war going on right here in our back yard, All over the Country. I bought all the guns and ammo I need 10-15 years ago. They fire just as good today, as they did then. They have a new 50 cal. Pistol out now, I believe I may buy. It is a hand and wrist Breaker, but what the heck. I got a good look at it on the Gunny's tv program(Ermey), and it kicks like a charging,well you get the idea. It is a very Bad weapon. You get 10 of the people with towels on their heads lined up, you could take them all out. They fired it a good number of times. The Gunny even fired it twice or more times. He said it was to much for him. I still say, 'let them build the temple at ground zero. It will just be burned down, blown up, and destroyed each time they get it finished. I doubt it will even ever be finished. They are still hill-billies just all over the place that does not want it. Thats flat out NO. Shucks, Mr. Dillion.!!! If it is put at ground zero, I will say little fat boy mikie will be under it. Everyone will know where he is too. None of this wheres, well the teamster that went missing(Hoffa), you know, where is he at? I still laugh at BOA when they bought up country wide, and all the sub-prime loans. They covered that this morning too, they only have Trillions and Trillions of dollars they will never get back. Serves them right. Now the people are burning the homes down, BIG time like you said. I wonder what is going to happen when all the 3-4 million people out of work, that makes more on un-employment than they could with even a 60 thousand dollar a year job, are going to do when the gov can't pay them not to work anymore? I watched it on tv,(FOX), when several people would not take a 60 thousand dollar a year job because they did say they could make more just laying on the sofa. No comutting(gas), child care, taxes, time away from the family. Yep I can make more with the 400 bucks per week than working, they said. I tell you, I'd take one for sure. Its not going to do pelosi any good to call her house back, and pass the extension of tax cuts. The Country has already made up their minds to get rid of her, frankfruter(ole barney boy), and most all the others. It'll be well over half that looses their jobs, of lifetime politics. I don't believe the Towels would let us pull out. They would all be fighting us then. It would all have to be blown up, and dstroyed in place. Besides the oil, they would sell us our steel back to us then. I agree that there is nothing wrong with the shuttles. Nassa just wants more money so they can get more in salaries. Like I said a page or two ago, the ISS will go boom just as soon as they train the monkey from over there, so nassa will be with out a job most likely very soon. Those monkies are smarter than we think. Won't take long to train one. They will have to extend the missions as they have to pray 5 times a day. He would go along with the program for a few days, or more before it went BOOM. Say, wonder which way he will bow down to pray to alley? All have good ones while we can. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
My last post had a 'Brain Cloud'.
Well it happens...
YESTERDAY WHEN I POSTED THAT THIS YEAR'S DEBT WAS 1.6 TRILLION; I FORGOT TO ADD THAT SINCE IT IS NOT BEING REDUCED; THE INTEREST ON THAT 1.6 TRILLION IS ABOUT ONE BILLION DOLLARS A DAY!
EXTRAPOLATE THAT TO INCLUDE THE REST OF THE UNPAID DEBT AND THE INTEREST PER DAY MUST BE STAGGERING.
REMEMBER WHEN CALIFORNIA GOT FROM THE FEDS 11 MILLION BUCKS AND THEY USED IT TO HIRE ONLY 55 PEOPLE? WELL IT GETS BETTER. MAKE THAT WORSE.
I'M WINGING THIS FROM SWISS CHEESE MEMORY; BUT I THINK LAST YEAR IN CALIFORNIA THE STATE KEPT TAXPAYERS REFUNDS WITH NO INTEREST; FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS; THEN SOME GOT THEIR MONEY; WHILE OTHERS GOT A TAX CREDIT FOR THE REFUND THEY DIDN'T GET; SO THAT CALIFORNIA COULD KEEP THE MONEY.
HAWAII DID THE SAME THING; BUT IT WAS A ONE TIME THING AND A LAW WAS PASSED THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL AND WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
NOW WHAT I'M HEARING FROM CALIFORNIA WHO WANTS ALL THIS BAIL OUT MONEY TO WASTE; HAS BEEN BUSTED FOR SPENDING ABOUT 100 MILLION ON CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD INCENTIVES PROGRAMS WHERE MOST OF THE PAPER WORK WAS BOGUS AND THOSE FUNDS CAME FROM THE FEDS; WHICH MEANS 'WE THE PEOPLE' PAY FOR THAT TOO.
I'M HOPING THE MASSAD GOES AHEAD AND TAKES OUT IRANIAN PREZ 'MOE' KNOWING HE WILL BE REPLACED BUT AT LEAST IT WILL TAKE THE BIG 'A' IN IRAN SOMETIME TO FIND SOMEONE CRAZY ENOUGH TO TAKE THE JOB.
I THINK I MENTIONED THAT BEFORE.
THE BIG 'O' KNOWS HE HAS NO CHANCE OF BEING RE-ELECTED. I SUSPECT HE MAY NOT EVEN BE AROUND; BECAUSE HE'LL BE IMPEACHED OR HE'LL RESIGN.
HE REFUSES TO GET US OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST. IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY; LIKE OWNING A BOAT. OWNING A BOAT IS LIKE DUMPING TONS OF CASH IN THE OCEAN. I'VE HAD THREE. I'M A SLOW LEARNER.
AL-QUEADA IS WATCHING ALL OF THIS BY THE HOUR AND RECORDING EVERYTHING.
ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DO IS 'TEACH' CERTAIN PEOPLE HOW OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS; AS IN INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. WHILE IN THIER LAND IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND. IT SEEMS TO BE EFFECTIVE.
AS FOR THE FT. HOOD MUSLIM CHAPLAIN WHO KILLED OR WOUNDED ALL THOSE PEOPLE; I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.
THE SHOOTING STARTS ON A MILITARY BASE; WHY WOULD SOMEONE CALL 911 FOR HELP?
DURING THE OPENING OF THE TRIAL ON THIS GUY; HE SHOWED NO REMORSE; AND WHEN PEOPLE TESTIFIED; HE LOOKED AT THEM WITH A 'GLARING STARE'.
AS IF TO INTIMIDATE THEM. THAT SHOULD BE A SLAM DUNK FOR THE PROSECUTION. EVEN THE JUDGE NOTED IT.
MEANWHILE IT SEEMS THE SOMALI PIRATES HAVE TAKEN ANOTHER SHIP OFF THE COAST OF KENYA. WHY CAN'T WE STOP THAT?
IT'S 0128 HST; I'T TIRED AND GOING BACK TO BED.
STUFF HAPPENS SO FAST ON THE NEWS I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH IT; EVEN WITH A NOTE PAD ON THE COUCH.
STILL WAITING TO SEE WHAT COMES FROM THE CHAVEZ/MOSCOW THING.

Hi Doc, Men, its a mess what the people running states and offices in those states can get away with. Seems every day you find out someone somewhere has pushed things to the limit to see how far they can get. They usually get away with it for awhile, but never do they have to refund it, or go ahead and pay it. I have a feeling the nut case in charge won't be retiring, or impeached, as every day there are more and more people that are turning their back on him. WELL, he deserves it. I still laugh at people when I find out they voted for him. Some mumble and try to avoid the subject, but I still laugh at them. I will even, if I loose a few teeth for doing it. The debt is awsome, and getting worse. There is a muslum school now that our tax dollars are paying for, and they make them pray to alley-oopps daily too. The aclu is sueing them over it. It is very hard to believe. But they will not be stopped, thats for sure. More will spring up. Why can't they stay where they are, instead of trying to force their ways on us? Things will change once his majesty gets out of orfice. He should have kept his campaign promises, and not lied to us. But I'm just a hate filled rumor spreading nut case. I do believe there are many just like me. One, I do not care to be lied to. I didn't vote for him, as I knew better. I despise people that trys to tell me 'Oh your wrong about him, just give him a chance'. Good God Almighty, another 6 months, if he is not controled, some one else will own the US of A, and what?, we have to go to some other country. I don't believe so. I hope this experiance will stop the people from electing another one, ever.!!!!!!!! Maybe a mex., spic, Indian(American),or some other race, but not a hard head oreo. We are called crackers, so just returning the favor. Have good ones. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
Iranian 'Moe' is at it again
Now he is talking about 'peace talks' to be held in Austria?
AS MOE' OF IRAN SAYS THE ABOVE HE'S STILL HITTING ON THE FANATICS IN LEBANON; CALLING ISRAEL THE 'LITTLE SATAN' AND THE UNITED STATES 'THE GREAT SATAN'. I THINK I HAVE HEARD THOSE TERMS USED MANY TIMES BY MUSLIMS.
THE BIG 'A' IN IRAN WHO CONTROLS 'MOE'; HASN'T HAD AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT IN YEARS. IT'S CALLED 'DOGMA'. COULD BE CALLED THEIR STANDARD DAILY PROPAGANDA.
NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM. WHICH EXPLAINS ALOT (ESP. IF YOU THINK OF BAGDAD'S SO CALLED SAFE 'GREEN-ZONE').
SEEMS THE IRAQI SOLDIERS WE ARMED AND TRAINED ARE SPLITTING UP INTO THREE GROUPS.
ONE GROUP IS REVERTING TO AND RE-JOINING AL-QUEADA, THE SECOND GROUP IS REMAINING AT THE JOB; WHY THE THIRD PART OF THE TOTAL GROUP IS DROPPING EVERYTHING AND LEAVING THE COUNTRY; HEADING FOR SYRIA OR THE LIKE.
THEY DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS STUFF ANYMORE. SO MUCH FOR RECRUITING THE SUNNI MUSLIMS. OF COURSE YOU CAN'T PUT THE SUNNI'S TOGETHER WITH THE SHIA.
THIS WOULD PUT US IN A WORLD OF 'SHIITE'! (PUN INTENDED). GET IT? SHIA IS SHIITE. NEVER MIND.
YOU CAN BE SURE THE MUSLIMS ARE WATCHING THE UPCOMING MID TERM ELECTIONS. ESP. IN NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA; TWO BORDER STATES THAT IF GO GOP WILL DEFY OBAMA AND PROTECT THEIR OWN BORDERS FROM INFILTRATORS.
THESE MID TERMS ARE GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST THING IN DECADES.

THOUGHT I'D STICK THAT LITTLE QUOTE IN THERE.
ON THE DON'T ASK DON'T TELL ISSUE WHICH IS A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY IN MY OPINION.... GUESS WHAT.
THE 15TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES; JAMES BUCHANAN WAS HOMOSEXUAL. HE STATES CLEARLY THAT HE BEGAN 'WOOING' GENTLEMEN FOR COMPANIONSHIP WHILE IN OFFICE. HE ALSO USED AN ORPHANED ADOPTED GIRL HE CALLED HIS 'NIECE' TO ACT AS THE 'HOSTESS' (TRANSLATION: FIRST LADY).
AS FOR HILARY (SEC. OF STATE) POTENTIALLY RUNNING FOR THE OVAL OFFICE WHICH HAS BEEN DENIED RECENTLY OVER AND OVER... GUESS WHAT AGAIN....
JAMES BUCHANAN WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY SEC. OF STATE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND WIN. WHILE ALL THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING; IT STILL BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHAT HE MAY HAVE OR MAY NOT HAVE SAID TO HIS HOMOSEXUAL PARTNERS. I.E., COMPROMISING NATIONAL SECURITY.
SOMETHING TO PONDER; AND YOU CAN LOOK UP HIS BIO ABOUT ANYWHERE.
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE: ANYONE HERE THE BRIEF BLURB ON AN FBI BUST OF A TOTALLY FAKE USMC COL. WHO OF COURSE DECORATED HIMSELF WITH EVERYTHING; CLAIMED TO BE A CAREER MARINE WHO STARTED OUT IN VIETNAM.
STILL WAITING TO HEAR MORE ON THAT ONE.
SO DON'T ASK DON'T TELL IS A DIRECT THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY. EVEN MANY SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES HAVE STATED ON TV THAT THIER CONGRESSIONAL AIDES ARE HOMOSEXUAL; AND THEY HAVE ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS!
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOME MUSLIM GETS TO ONE; FORMS A RELATIONSHIP AND THEN GETS ALL THE INFO THEY WANT; JUST LIKE OLD PHILBY BACK IN ENGLAND DURING THE COLD WAR.

Doc, you are very right. The stopping of DADT, is a Direct threat to National Security. Any one who doesn't believe that, pity you. I'll have no quarel with peoples head dropping in the basket when it goes that far, just as long as its not my Family or Friends. By then, Millions of us will not be around to see it, but from what I have heard, its not good at all. You Finie, gone, zilch, no more. Best be glad I'm not the deporter, they would all be gone, last week. The ones that wear the towels, you know. Happened in WW2 to the Japanese. It will happen to them as well, that is when the right people get in office, and have enough of it. Mexico needs to stand by as well. Manifest Destiny, that is what its all about. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
I Told ya'll this would happen; and it did!
Chavez makes deal with Russia...
NOW, AS I SUSPECTED HE'S GETTING THE FULL TILT IRANIAN GUEST TREATMENT IN TEHRAN; CUZ THEY WANT PART OF THIS ACTION AND ACCESS TO THE POWER PLANT TO BE BUILT IN CHEVAZ LAND.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT NEXT IS OTHER OUTLAW STATES; INCLUDING N. KOREA TO WINE AND DINE THE LITTLE DICTATOR. IT PUTS THEM ALL IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE UNITED STATES.
MEAN WHILE FRANCE IS GOING NUTS WITH FIVE DIFFERENT ISSUES AT ONCE NOT TO MENTION IT'S RIFE WITH AL-QUAEDA MORE THAN LIKELY PROMOTING SOME OF THE RIOTS.
ANYONE CATCH THE 'TOTALY ROBOTIC DRIVER-LESS CAR' ON THE ROADS THAT IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED TO PERTY MUCH PATROL AND DO ANYTHING. THIS IS WAY BEYOND BIG BROTHER (1984).
WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE MUSLIMS GET HOLD OF THIS AND USE IT TO GET INSIDE SECURED AREAS IN THE STATES? NOT A MATTER OF 'IF' JUST A MATTER OF 'WHEN'.
THEN WE HAVE SOMEONE WITH A HIGH POWERED RIFLE TAKING SEVERAL SHOTS AT THE PENTAGON; AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO OR WHY?
FOLLOWED SHORTLY BY SHOTS FIRED AT THE USMC MUSEUM AT QUANTICO WITH NO CLUE OR CAPTURE? WHY?
MY GUESS IS YOU CAN GO INTO ANY 7-11 OR CONVENIENCE STORE IN WDC AND ORDER A SLURPY AND A BOX OF AMMO AND ANY HIGH POWERED RIFLE YOU WANT.
WELL AT LEAST WE NOW HAVE THE COAST GUARD ON FALCON LAKE ON THE TEX-MEX BORDER. BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD BEFORE.
THEN WE HAVE THE SHOOTING OF TWO POSTAL WORKERS IN A SMALL POST OFFICE NEAR MEMPHIS WITH A POPULATION OF 1200. WHY?
THE POST OFFICE WAS OPEN SO THAT RULES OUT SOMEONE PEEVED OVER IT NOT BEING OPEN.
COULD BE A TERRORIST; THEN AGAIN MY GUESS IS SINCE THE ONLY JOB YOU CAN GET THESE DAYS IS A FEDERAL JOB THE SHOOTER'S WERE PROBABLY TURNED DOWN ON THIER APPLICATIONS.
OR...JUST PISSED THAT HUNDREDS OF POST OFFICES ARE BEING CLOSED TO SAVE THE FEDS MONEY SO THEY CAN GIVE THEMSELVES PAY RAISES. WHO KNOWS?
STILL NO WORD ON THE TRUCK THAT GOT THRU SECURITY TO THE NUCLEAR PLANT IN PHOENIX.
ANYONE NOTE THAT THE GUY FROM NICARAGUA WHO WAS KILLED IN A SLUM AREA OF NYC HAS NOT MADE NEWS ANYMORE? WHY?

"No wonder the Marine Corps had to upgrade the requirements to be a Grunt because it's obviously too easy to get into the Air Force." AS FOLLOWS:
From: D. J. BAKER
Sent: Monday; October 18, 2010 @ 9:30 AM
To: HUNTER MILLS (USAF)
Subject: Career Advice
It is always heartwarming to see a young person receive helpful career advice!
Dear Major Mills:
I am D. J. Baker and I would appreciate it if you could tell me what it takes to be an F-16 fighter pilot in the USAF. What classes should I take in high school to help the career I want to take later in life? What can I do to increase my chances of getting into the Air Force Academy?
Sincerely,
DJ Baker
*********************************************
A worldly and jaded C 130 pilot, Major Hunter Mills, rises to the task of answering the young man's letter:
Dear DJ,
Obviously, through no fault of your own, your young, impressionable brain has been poisoned by the superfluous, hyped-up, "Top Gun" media portrayal of fighter pilots.
Unfortunately, this portrayal could not be further from the truth. In my experience, I've found most fighter pilots pompous, backstabbing, momma's boys with inferiority complexes, as well as being extremely over-rated aeronautically. However, rather than dash your budding dreams of becoming a USAF pilot, I offer the following alternative:
What you really want to aspire to is the exciting, challenging and rewarding world of TACTICAL AIRLIFT and this, young DJ, means one thing, the venerable workhorse, the C-130! I can guarantee no fighter pilot can brag that he has led a 12-ship formation down a valley at 300 feet above the ground, with the navigator leading the way and trying to interpret an alternate route to the drop zone, avoiding pop-up threats and coordinating with AWACS, all while eating a box lunch while the engineer is in the back relieving himself and the loadmaster is puking in his trash can!
I tell you DJ, TAC Airlift is where it's at! Where else is it legal to throw tanks, HUMMV's, and other crap out the back of an airplane and not even worry about it when the chute doesn't open and it torpedoes the General's staff car! Nowhere else can you land on a 3000 foot dirt strip, kick a bunch of ammo and stuff out on the ramp without stopping, then takeoff again before range control can call to tell you that you've landed on the wrong LZ!
And talk about exotic travel; when C-130s go somewhere, they GO somewhere (usually for 3 months, unfortunately). This gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture long enough to give the locals a bad taste in their mouths regarding the USAF and Americans in general, not something those C-141 Stratolifter pilots can do from their airport hotel rooms!
As far as recommendations for your course of study, I offer these:
1. Take a lot of math courses. You'll need all the advanced math skills you can muster to enable you to calculate per diem rates around the world and when trying to split up the crew's bar tab so that the co-pilot really believes he owes 85% of the whole thing and the navigator believes he owes the other 20%.
2. Health sciences are important, too. You will need a thorough knowledge of biology to make those educated guesses of how much longer you can drink beer before the tremendous case of the G.I.'s catches up to you from that meal you ate at the place that had the really good belly dancers in some God-forsaken foreign country whose name you can't even pronounce.
3. Social studies are also beneficial. It is important for a good TAC Airlifter to have the cultural knowledge to be able to ascertain the exact location of the nearest topless bar in any country in the world, then be able to convince the local authorities to release the loadmaster after he offends every sensibility of the local religion and culture.
4. A foreign language is helpful but not required. You will never be able to pronounce the names of the NAVAIDs in France and it's much easier to ignore them and to go where you want to anyway. As a rule of thumb, waiters and bellhops in France are always called "Pierre;" in Spain it's "Hey, Pedro;" and in Italy, of course, it's "Mario." These terms of address also serve in other countries interchangeably, depending on the level of suaveness of the addressee.
5. A study of geography is paramount. You will need to know the basic location of all the places you've been when you get back from your TDY and are ready to stick those little pins in that huge world map you've got taped to your living room wall, right next to the giant wooden giraffe statue and beer stein collection.
Well, DJ, I hope this little note inspires you. By the way, forget about the Air Force Academy thing. All TAC Airlifters know that there are waaay too few women and too little alcohol there to provide a well-balanced education. A nice, big state college or the Naval Academy would be a much better choice.
Hunter Mills,
Major USAF

Caveats 'n Stuff
I think I lost a post. I can't remember which one.
IF ANYONE COPIED IT (THE LOST POST) PLEASE REPOST IT AND IF YOU FIND ANYTHING OFFENSIVE; EDIT THAT OUT. MAHALO.
I USUALLY POST THIS STUFF IN THE WEE HOURS (HST) WHEN I'M NOT EVEN FULLY AWAKE.
*NOTE: CAVEAT EMPTOR, FROM THE LATIN WHICH IS LATIN FOR CAVEAT EMPTOR; MEANS LET THE BUYER BEWARE*.
THIS USUALLY IS RELATED TO SOME FORM OF PURCHASE. THEN AGAIN IT CAN BE APPLIED TO SOMETHING YOU BUY INTO (MAKE THAT SUCKERED/CONNED); SUCH AS ... OH SAY FACE BOOK. THERE IS NOW A NEW ISSUE WITH THAT; AGAIN. WHEN WILL PEOPLE EVER LEARN?
BUYING INTO THIS PARTICULAR VERSION OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS BEING EXPLOITED TO THE MAX. THE TERM USED IS 'DATA MINING'. WHERE BAD PEOPLE SIT THERE AND JUST GATHER INFO ON PEOPLE DUMB ENOUGH TO USE IT.
WISH I COULD REMEMBER THE POST I LOST? I THINK IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR CURRENT FEARLESS LEADER; AND THE ECONOMY AND THE VA AND MEDICARE AND THE CLINICS AND PRIVATE HOSPITALS DROPPING THOSE PEOPLE LIKE HOT POTATOES. I CAN'T REMEMBER.
ANYONE CATCH THE ABANDONED BLUE VAN IN 'TIMES SQUARE' YESTERDAY; NO DRIVER TO BE FOUND. NOTED THE BACK 'FLASHERS' WERE ON; NOT BRAKE LIGHTS; COULDN'T SEE THE FRONT.
THEN AS USUAL; THAT WAS IT. IT GETS SHOWN THEN IT'S GONE UNTIL SEVERAL WEEKS LATER IF THAT. BUT IT WAS IN NYC 'TIMES SQAURE' A NAME I DON'T GET; SINCE IT ISN'T SQUARE. THEN AGAIN LONDON'S PICCADILLY CIRCUS ISN'T A SQUARE EITHER; BUT INDEED A CIRCUS.
SEEMS WE HAVE ANOTHER 'NATO' CONVOY HIT BY THE TALIBAN AGAIN; WHICH I THINK??? IS THE THIRD ONE AS OF YESTERDAY.
DADT IS BACK ON AGAIN. MAYBE IT'S A GOOD IDEA? AFTER ALL WHO'D WANT TO FOLLOW A HOMOSEXUAL PLATOON LEADER INTO COMBAT? MIGHT CUT DOWN ON ENLISTMENTS AND GET US OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST A BIT FASTER.
YA'LL CATCH THIS ONE YESTERDAY?
BIN LADIN AND THIS GUY ALWARI (SPELLING? BUT WHO CARES); PLANNED THE 9/11 ATTACKS.
TWO DAYS LATER WHILE THE PENTAGON IS STILL BURNING AND SMOLDERING; THE 'THEN' SEC/DEF (RUMSFELDT) INVITES THIS GUY ALWARI TO THE PENTAGON FOR LUNCH?
OF COURSE RUMSFELDT DENIES IT; OR DENIES HE WAS THERE; THEN AGAIN HE INVITED THE GUY? I'M CONFUSED.
IT'S A GIVEN THIS ALWARI JOKER HAS LUNCH THEN BAILS OUT AND GOES TO UBL AND TELLS HIM HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE. INCREDIBLE!
ALSO WE'RE BACK ON CHINA'S CLAIM TO THE TWO SMALL VOLCANIC ISLANDS RICH IN RARE EARTH ELEMENTS.
THE TERM IS SOMEWHAT MISLEADING. FIRST OF ALL THEY AREN'T RARE; BUT CAN BE FOUND IN MANY COUNTRIES. IT'S JUST A NAME OF THREE OR FOUR NEWER ELEMENTS ADDED TO THE PERIODIC CHART.
THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE 'RARE' AND CHINA HAS A MONOPOLY ON THEM. WHICH AIN'T TRUE.
GUESS I'LL GO BACK TO BED BEFORE I ACCIDENTLY SAY SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT OUR COUNTRY BE ATTACKED FROM WITHIN AND FROM THE OUTSIDE.

Call me an America 1st fanatic....
I'm there with you Lurch, Doc. I had thought about getting the little costly things at first, but glad I changed the mind. I missed the blue van. Bet it'll be on again soon. I just have a feeling pakistan is letting the bad people hit the convoys so we will have to buy a bunch of the destroyed things from them very inflated too. Thats bout the only place OBL and his alawaki could be hiding. They may be protected by them. Could be right. It just makes the homesexual people mad as ever that the DADT has been up-held again. Poor little whatevers. I know I wouldn't follow one into battle. I believe rumsfield still has his head in the wrong place. It will come out he most likely did have a meeting with alawaki after the 9-11 attacks. He just doesn't want to admit it. I could be wrong, but remenber something about it. I too believe the chinese are just saying the islands have rare minnerals so they can fight over them. They are so smug, its funny. They are hurrying to catch up with us in Naval ships. BUT haste makes waste. All have good ones. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
Ever go to KFC and order everything?
Then you get home and find.... what happened to the biscuit?
