Our security begins at home. We have no business intervening in wars around the globe and trying to spread democracy to countries that hate us and don't want it.
I always enjoy reading columns in the paper written by Eugene Robinson and Cal Thomas. Mr. Robinson heads up his column with, "Arming Syrian Rebels equals bad outcome," and Mr. Thomas heads his column up with, "U.S. needs no part of Syria's civil war." I totally agree.
Now we have terror attacks continuing in Iraq and that government is leaning toward Iran and there is conflict in Turkey. There are continuing conflicts all over the world. How sad.
In the May 10 paper we find: "Afghanistan: Karzai says U.S. wants to keep 9 bases" after the 2014 withdrawal. Karzai says that it is fine, as long as America makes "security and economic guarantees" in exchange. My question is: For what Mr. Karzai? Corruption and a war that has been going on for over 12 years?
Our armchair leaders in Washington, D.C., need to do their jobs, and bring our troops home from Afghanistan "now" and stop intervening in every conflict in the world. Wake up, Mr. President, our security begins at home. Let's let our military do its job by providing "security at home" and providing support for our "true friends," if needed.
Eugene B. Hill Jr.

Jacob Cramer
I swear my family is crazy,
I seriously think they're insane.
My dad is weird, my mom's berserk,
and my brother is totally lame.
I swear my family is crazy,
They're obnoxious, nosey, and loud.
They dress like maniacs, act like fools,
and always stand out in any crowd.
I swear my family is crazy,
They are a rather peculiar bunch
But they are MY messed up family!
And for that, I love them very much.

Montgomery Gentry continues to fire up playlists with the release of their brand new single, "Headlights," impacting country radio today and scoring 2nd most added with over 40 stations on board! The super duo shines bright on their first new music since 2011, with a late night, back road party anthem, written by hit tunesmiths Wendell Mobley, Bob DiPiero, and Tony Martin and produced by Michael Knox (Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins, Thomas Rhett, ABC's "Nashville"). "Headlights" will be available for fans to download digitally on September 2nd. Their debut album with innovative and independent new label partner, Blaster Records, is set to release in early 2015.
The duo recently took fans behind the scenes of a live performance in an action-packed teaser for, 'Headlights.' The clip premiered exclusively on Taste of Country late last week.
About Montgomery Gentry:
With 20 plus charted singles, the Kentucky-born duo has earned CMA, ACM, and GRAMMY awards and nominations with undeniable blue collar anthems like "Hell Yeah," "My Town," and "Hillbilly Shoes". They've notched five No. 1 singles ("If You Ever Stop Loving Me," "Something To Be Proud Of," "Lucky Man," "Back When I Knew It All" and "Roll With Me") and recently celebrated their 5th anniversary as Grand Ole Opry members. They will be inducted into The Kentucky Country Music Hall of Fame next April. They are currently in the studio with famed producer Michael Knox, finishing up their brand new album featuring their latest smash "Headlights", expected on Blaster Records early next year.

This traditional dessert has been made in Alaska for centuries and encompasses a list of ingredients that ensures that this certainly isn't your old-fashioned ice cream. Rather, ice cream of the Eskimo variety, also known akutaq, has historically gotten its creamy consistency from the meat and fat of caribou, moose, bears, seals and fish. Modern variations of the dish today usually substitute Crisco for the animal fat, and because recipes differ, it's somewhat hard to gather a complete nutritional picture. However, a traditional version of this frosty treat that uses reindeer fat can serve up an astounding 91 grams of fat in a single serving.
Origins of this Georgia staple are somewhat unclear, but most agree that the Luther Burger is named in honor of local R&B crooner Luther Vandross. The Luther is built on "buns" that are actually two glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts on which two ground-beef patties, cheese and bacon and a fried egg are elegantly stacked. The two Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts are worth 24 grams of fat, and the patty is another 16, so perhaps this dish wouldn't be the ideal choice for whom it was named after, as Luther Vandross himself suffered from hypertension and diabetes.
This offering from the Empire State was conceived at the beloved local greasy spoon Nick Tahou Hots back in 1918. The dish, which more than lives up to its name, is a culinary conglomeration of ingredients that start with a foundation of home fries, macaroni salad, baked beans and French fries. From there, customers have the option of selecting a meat of their choice (hamburger, cheeseburger, hot dog, sausage, chicken tender, fish, fried ham). To make the garbage plate complete, the whole thing is slathered in mustard, onions and hot sauce -- and tips the scales at an alarming three pounds of food.

52 year old man | Simi Valley, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-50 within 50 miles
The mind is like a parachute ... best used when open !!
So about me ... ok lets see ... let me think about it for a minute or three... I am the best looking ugly guy you will ever know... I have been told many times by different sets of folks that I should be a comedian. I would love to rock that ... but being funny when you HAVE TO BE... is alot harder then just being funny when you WANT to be. It is a bit odd and somewhat of a catch 22... I love the creative and expressive side of things ... communicating without a conversation is a very powerefull gift and I get off on making people happy... and as such that tends to subject me to rejection and failure when i dont succeed at it.. I unfortunately tend to derail my chances for success by allowing the fear to take control of the wheel and steer. On the other hand I love the rush and excitement of taking risks and doing crazy and wild things... trust me I have made alot of people laugh at me...with me...and sometimes... scratch their heads wondering what and why i do what i do. My greatest joy is providing pleasure to others. I think I have a big generous heart, but i tend to wear it on my sleeve.... I love and live passionately, I am an affectionate type, but not needy. Friendships are extremely important ... having not learned this early on... I have few friends as I gravitated towards my wife, family and my early career. All of which have now slipped through my fingers... I understand the ups and downs of relationships... but honestly ..I have spent the latter part of my 18 year marriage trying in painful vain to express to my wife ...how I felt she was fading away from me... This only resulted in her stone cold denial .. little by little it got worse and she more distant and now here i sit broken and alone perplexed as to how it or I let it happen. So now at the ripe old age of 50 I feel like I have to start all over again... To be continued ...or refined... Hey wait a second... I think I am over thinking this and complicating matters... crap ...
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

I like a wide array of music, metal, hard rock, Rap, Techno and yes some country The 80s ..Social D, Journey, Judas Priest, Johnny Cash, Stained, Queen, Boston, Linkin Park & more I love candle lit hotel rooms on weekend getaways, making you laugh
I like watching the New York Yankees, i love watching a woman dancing, playing softball, making people laugh, driving fast, Helping someone in need, watching children learn, playing pool, listening to good music, watching good movies, and LEARNING .

Israel will allow 300 Palestinians from Libya to come to the West Bank.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said late on Wednesday that "for humanitarian reasons" he had acceded to a request by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to allow the Palestinians to flee the violence-plagued Libya for the West Bank.
More than a dozen countries sent airplanes to Libya to evacuate their citizens. Thousands are reported dead in protests calling for an end to Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi's 41-year reign; Gadhafi took power in a 1969 coup.

Why didn't the commission investigating the devastating 2001 al Qaeda attacks thoroughly scrub the NSA's files? Philip Shenon on the crucial records the government has never explored.
Are many of the secrets of 9/11 still hidden in top-secret government files?
Almost certainly, say former staff members of the 9/11 Commission. With the nation scheduled to mark the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks this weekend, former staffers tell The Daily Beast it is clear that the 9/11 Commission, which went out of business in 2004, failed to conduct a thorough inspection of the government's most important library of raw intelligence on al Qaeda and the 9/11 plot. And nobody appears to have inspected that intelligence since.
The archives, maintained by the National Security Agency at its headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland, were reviewed — in a cursory fashion — only in the final days of the commission's investigation, and then only because of last-minute staff complaints that the NSA's vast database was being ignored.
Throughout its investigation, staffers complained, the commission's leaders were fixated on what could be found in the terrorism files of the CIA and the FBI, the two big targets for criticism in the panel's final report, and largely ignored the NSA, the government's chief eavesdropping agency.
When the commission did get into… Continue reading

Colorado Democrats Call for New 9/11 Investigation: An Insider Tells Us How They Did It
It's true! The Democratic Platform for the state of Colorado is the first major party in the US to adopt a resolution for a new investigation into the official story of the events surrounding 9/11.
It started in 2004 when I, a complete novice in political processes, decided to participate in my precinct caucus in order to try to make a difference here in Colorado.1 The night before, I learned that the caucus is also a time to bring policy resolutions for consideration. Hurriedly, I wrote a resolution for a new, independent investigation into 9/11, figuring that here is an opportunity, at least, to educate a few more people. To my surprise, my precinct caucus neighbors voted for it!
The next step was to get it passed at the county level: the Denver County Assembly and Convention. To do this, I needed to get 10% of the attendees to sign a petition — another chance to educate more people! I needed 200 signatures, which I managed to get with the spontaneous help of a couple of other 9/11 truth activists. Now I could present this resolution to the Assembly, at the end of a long hard day, which wound up being attended by about 100 of the most serious participants.
Managing to transcend my considerable stage fright, and fearing I might be tarred and feathered, I read the… Continue reading

A Time Magazine 'Person of the Year' argues WikiLeaks serves the public good
A member of a group of former intelligence professionals that has rallied behind WikiLeaks suggested in a recent interview with Raw Story that the world would be a different and better place had the online secrets outlet come into existence years sooner.
"If there had been a mechanism like Wikileaks, 9/11 could have been prevented," Coleen Rowley, a former special agent/legal counsel at the FBI's Minneapolis division, told Raw Story in an exclusive interview.
Rowley and her colleague Bogdan Dzakovic, a special agent for the FAA's security division, explained this position in an op-ed published in the Los Angeles Times in October. However, they admit no claim to the original idea of an established pro-whistle-blower infrastructure. It's purely the US government's, she said.
"That's not even us," she told Raw Story. "That's not our personal opinion. We're really reciting the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission
that attributed the failures of 9/11 to a failure to share information not only inside agencies, not only between agencies, but with the public and the media."
"People have forgotten that that was the main conclusion of the 9/11 Commission," Rowley added.
"The 9/11 Commission was based on four other major investigation inquiries," she continued "One was called the Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry. That started in Jan. 2002. It went on for well over a year. Then I testified to the Judiciary Committee, and… Continue reading

The Senate passed a bill by unanimous consent Wednesday that will provide health care benefits to first responders and survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Original report follows…
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) earned himself a visit from some 9/11 first responders after he threatened to block a bill that would provide them health benefits.
A group of former Ground Zero workers visited the senator's office Tuesday to give him a piece of their mind but Coburn refused the meeting.
"Mr. Coburn should be ashamed of himself," John Feal, the leader of the group, told Think Progress. "Because I think before he was a senator he was a doctor and he took an oath to help people that are sick. He's going against his oath as a doctor. He can vote any way he wants as a senator, but as a doctor, he just embarrassed the medical profession."
"What about going office to office? Have their staff and the senators been very receptive to the group?" Think Progress asked.
"Once in a while we'll run into some resistance and some arrogance and some rude people. Listen, we busted our asses since 9/11. We've fought and advocated for ourselves so others wouldn't. So to be insulted by the staff of the United States Senate and Congress — most of them were 12 years old when 9/11 happened — doesn't bother me," Feal said.
All but one of the 42 Republican senators stood together last week… Continue reading
In this discussion, Professor Falk gives his assessment of the political context of the criticisms he is facing for identifying Israeli crimes in the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and for referring positively to the scholarly contributions of Professor David Ray Griffin and other academics who have identified serious shortcomings in government and mainstream media interpretations concerning the contested events of 9/11.

Interrogating the Arizona Killings from a Safe Distance

…The arguments swirling around the 9/11 attacks are emblematic of these issues. What fuels suspicions of conspiracy is the reluctance to address the sort of awkward gaps and contradictions in the official explanations that David Ray Griffin (and other devoted scholars of high integrity) have been documenting in book after book ever since 2001. What may be more distressing than the apparent cover up is the eerie silence of the mainstream media, unwilling to acknowledge the well-evidenced doubts about the official version of the events: an al Qaeda operation with no foreknowledge by government officials. Is this silence a manifestation of fear or cooption, or part of an equally disturbing filter of self-censorship? Whatever it is, the result is the withering away of a participatory citizenry and the erosion of legitimate constitutional government. The forms persist, but the content is missing. …

It was another important moment in the education of Barack Obama.
He began his presidency with a pledge to close the military prison at Guantánamo Bay within a year. Within months, he realized that was impossible. And now he has essentially formalized George W. Bush's detention policy.
With Monday's announcement that the Obama administration will resume military tribunals at Gitmo, conservatives rushed out triumphant I-told-you-sos. Liberal supporters were again feeling betrayed. Administration officials had some 'splainin' to do.
And so they assembled some top-notch lawyers from across the executive branch and held a conference call Monday afternoon with reporters. The ground rules required that the officials not be identified, which is appropriate given their Orwellian assignment. They were to argue that Obama's new detention policy is perfectly consistent with his old detention policy.
Not only had he revoked his pledge to close Gitmo within a year, but he also had contradicted his claim that the policy "can't be based simply on what I or the executive branch decide alone." His executive order did exactly what he said must not be done, in a style pioneered by Obama's immediate predecessor in the Oval Office.
"This detention without trial – what's different from the Bush administration?" a French reporter from Le Monde asked during the call.
Good question. The answer, from the Anonymous Lawyers, was technical. "We have a much more thorough process here of representation. . . .… Continue reading
Obama: Osama bin Laden is dead
By Kase Wickman
Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the number one most-wanted fugitive for nearly a decade, was killed in Pakistan Sunday, the White House announced.
President Barack Obama made a live statement shortly after 11:30 p.m. from the East Room of the White House.
"Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children," he began.
The U.S. received an intelligence lead last August about bin Laden's whereabouts, Obama said, and that he had enough information by Sunday to launch a targeted military operation on the compound pinpointed as bin Laden's location, in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
"A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability," Obama said. "No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
White House officials said that the operation was in cooperation with Pakistani authorities, and was carried out by Navy SEALs in helicopters who rehearsed the operation to avoid civilian casualties. Reportedly, one woman who was used as a human shield was killed.
Crowds gathered outside the White House and around the country after the speech, waving flags and singing the National Anthem. U.S. diplomatic centers are reportedly on high alert in… Continue reading
Progressives find hope–in Ron Paul.
By Michael Tracey
The American Conservative
It's no secret that Ralph Nader has held the Democratic Party establishment in low regard for decades now: the marginally more palatable alternative in an ugly duopoly, he claims, is still quite ugly. But lately Nader's disdain has reached a new high. "It's gotten so bad," he tells me, "that you can actually say a Republican president–with a Democratic Senate–would produce less bad results than the present situation. That's how bollixed stuff has gone."
Not that he was ever particularly optimistic about the Obama administration, especially its potential to make headway on curtailing corporate welfare, now Nader's signature policy objective. But in that, as with so many aspects of Obama's presidency, the adjectives "disappointing" or "inadequate" don't even begin to capture the depths of progressive disillusionment. Looking ahead to the 2012 presidential race, one might assume that Nader has little to be cheerful about.
Yet he says there is one candidate who sticks out–who even gives him hope: Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
That might sound counterintuitive. Nader, of course, is known as a stalwart of the independent left, having first gained notoriety for his 1960s campaign to impose greater regulatory requirements on automakers–a policy act that would seem to contravene the libertarian understanding of justified governmental power. So I had to ask: how could he profess hope in Ron Paul, who almost certainly would have opposed the very regulations on which Nader built his career?

from the FAS Project on Government Secrecy
Volume 2011, Issue No. 96
October 1, 2011
Secrecy News Blog: http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/
Last Friday, White House officials made at least two public references to Presidential Policy Directives (PPDs). PPD 1 was cited in a new executive order on computer security and PPD 8 was cited in a White House blog posting on disaster preparedness. Each Directive is a significant expression of national policy. Neither one is classified. And yet neither of them — nor any other Obama Presidential Policy Directive — can be found on the White House website.
The White House decision not to make these documents available is a stark reminder of the incoherence of the Obama Administration's transparency policy, and its inconsistent implementation.
"Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset," President Obama wrote in his January 21, 2009 memo on transparency and open government. "My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public."
But as the withholding of the presidential directives illustrates, not even the Obama White House itself complies with this policy, and so its impact in the farther reaches of the executive branch has been muted. Those who seek access to Presidential Policy Directives must look elsewhere.
"I think it's general policy that… Continue reading

A report on terrorism prosecutions written by scholars at New York University's School of Law has set off an ugly fight, pitting the school against former Mayor Edward I. Koch and Representative Peter T. King in what one side calls a question of intellectual freedom, and the other says is a matter of intellectual honesty.
The report, focusing on three high-profile cases, accuses law enforcement agencies of luring young Muslim men into violent plots and makes broad assertions that the government stigmatizes Muslims. The charge is nothing new; defendants in many terrorism trials in the past decade have alleged entrapment, but juries have rejected that defense.
The report, "Targeted and Entrapped: Manufacturing the 'Homegrown Threat' in the United States," was published in May but did not draw much notice until recently, when some prominent alumni of the law school brought it to the attention of Mr. Koch, a 1948 graduate.
Mr. Koch called on the school's dean, Richard L. Revesz, to disavow the report and distribute a rebuttal that Mr. King — the Long Island Republican who has presided over contentious hearings on domestic terrorist threats — wrote at Mr. Koch's urging. When the dean did not agree, the former mayor decided to take the conflict public, potentially giving the report a wider audience than it had gained on its own.
The fight illustrates how differently the political and academic worlds can view the same dispute, and how the same information… Continue reading

September 30, 2011 was the day America was assassinated.
Some of us have watched this day approach and have warned of its coming, only to be greeted with boos and hisses from "patriots" who have come to regard the US Constitution as a device that coddles criminals and terrorists and gets in the way of the President who needs to act to keep us safe.
In our book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions , Lawrence Stratton and I showed that long before 9/11 US law had ceased to be a shield of the people and had been turned into a weapon in the hands of the government. The event known as 9/11 was used to raise the executive branch above the law. As long as the President sanctions an illegal act, executive branch employees are no longer accountable to the law that prohibits the illegal act. On the president's authority, the executive branch can violate US laws against spying on Americans without warrants, indefinite detention, and torture and suffer no consequences.
Many expected President Obama to re-establish the accountability of government to law. Instead, he went further than Bush/Cheney and asserted the unconstitutional power not only to hold American citizens indefinitely in prison without bringing charges, but also to take their lives without convicting them in a court of law. Obama asserts that the US Constitution notwithstanding, he has the authority to assassinate US citizens, who he deems to be a "threat," without due process… Continue reading
I have repeatedly demonstrated that — despite the false divide-and-conquer tactics of the mainstream parties and mainstream media — the overwhelming majority of Americans agree on the most important issues facing our country . And see this .
As I've noted since 2008 , Americans are united in their overwhelming disapproval for bailouts to the big banks.
This has remained true right up to today.
As Rassmussen found only last month (as summarized by KXLF news ):
Today's Rasmussen Reports survey finds that most Americans don't like bailouts for financial institutions.
60% Oppose Financial Bailouts; 74% Say Wall Street Benefited Most
Survey of 1,000 American Adults
– Just 20% think it was a good idea for the government to provide bailout funding to banks and other financial institutions, but 60% say otherwise .
– While many activists try to link the Republican Party and Wall Street, Republicans think the bailouts were a bad idea by an eight-to-one margin.
– Those not affiliated with either major party think they were a bad idea by a four-to-one margin. Democrats are much more evenly divided. Thirty-four percent (34%) of those in the president's party say the bailouts were a good idea while 42% disagree.
– Overall, 68% believe that most of the bailout money went to the very people who created the nation's ongoing economic crisis , but 12% disagree and 21% aren't sure.
As the Washington Post 's Greg Sargent notes , the recent proposal from lobbyists… Continue reading

A former CIA official who publicly confirmed the waterboarding of top Al-Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah was charged Monday with leaking classified information to journalists, including the identities of two CIA officers.
John Kiriakou, who served with the CIA between 1990 and 2004, was charged with violating a law that makes it illegal to disclose the identity of a covert officer, leaking classified information and lying to a CIA publications review board, the department said.
He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
"Safeguarding classified information, including the identities of CIA officers involved in sensitive operations, is critical to keeping our intelligence officers safe and protecting our national security," Attorney General Eric Holder said.
"Today's charges reinforce the Justice Department's commitment to hold accountable anyone who would violate the solemn duty not to disclose such sensitive information," he said in a statement.
Kiriakou first came to public attention in an interview with ABC News in December 2007 in which he became the first US official to describe Abu Zubaydah's waterboarding, a form of simulated drowning widely viewed as torture.
He acknowledged later in his memoir, however, that he was not present when the interrogation took place.
CIA director David Petraeus said the spy agency had supported the investigation, and reminded CIA employees of their oath to safeguard classified information.
"Given the sensitive nature of many of our agency's operations and the risks we ask our… Continue reading
Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds has been deemed credible by the Department of Justice's Inspector General, several senators (free subscription required), and a coalition of prominent conservative and liberal groups.
The ACLU described Edmonds as:
The most gagged person in the history of the United States of America.
And famed Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg says that Edmonds possesses information "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers."
Edmonds translated terror-related communications for the FBI right after 9/11. In that capacity, she read communications between terrorists and other radicals.
Edmonds said last week that Bin Laden – and his number 2 Al Qaeda lieutenant – Ayman al-Zawahiri – worked with the U.S. government for 3 months after 9/11 to coordinate destablization in the Caucus region:

The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 29, No. 1, July 29, 2013
For almost two centuries American government, though always imperfect, was also a model for the world of limited government, having evolved a system of restraints on executive power through its constitutional arrangement of checks and balances.
Since 9/11 however, constitutional practices have been overshadowed by a series of emergency measures to fight terrorism. The latter have mushroomed in size, reach and budget, while traditional government has shrunk. As a result we have today what the journalist Dana Priest has called two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.1
More and more, it is becoming common to say that America, like Turkey before it, now has what Marc Ambinder and John Tirman have called a deep state behind the public one.2 And this parallel government is guided in surveillance matters by its own Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, which according to the New York Times, "has quietly become almost a parallel Supreme Court."3 Thanks largely to Edward Snowden, it is now clear that the FISA Court has permitted this deep state to expand surveillance beyond the tiny number of known and suspected Islamic terrorists, to any incipient protest movement that might challenge the policies of the American war machine.…Continue reading

We have two new letters and an article at the Journal of 9/11 Studies.
The article by Jérôme Gygax and Nancy Snow is titled "9/11 and the Advent of Total Diplomacy: Strategic Communication as a Primary Weapon of War." Here's an excerpt.
"The 9/11 attacks were used to justify an institutional revolution meant to complete a process of integration and coordination of all the assets of US national power through a strategic communication (SC) campaign deployed on a global scale. The 'Global War on Terror' (GWOT) nurtured a narrative of crisis associated with this unprecedented public education effort. In order to sell its approaches, the United States government relied on a network of 'experts': military veterans, high‐ranking officers such as Admirals as well as professional journalists and academics who contributed to forging a consensus, or, as Michel Foucault would call it, a 'regime of truth' that claims a certain interpretation to be right and true, while ignoring or discrediting critics and dissenting narratives."
One letter is from Paul Schreyer and is called "Update: Anomalies of the Air Defense on 9/11." Schreyer writes:
"Miles Kara insists that these were unrelated events. He says there is nothing on the tapes indicating a correlation and he points out that the Langley jets also made no attempt to change their altitude to get closer to the 'Doomsday plane' while flying southwest. So it´s possible that Kara is right here. However one still can only wonder about the series of anomalies… Continue reading
NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — As the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaches, 12 former CIA, FBI, NSA, and US military officials — including Time Magazine's 2002 person of the year, Colleen Rowley, and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who provided the daily brief for three presidents — say in an open letter to President Obama that the charge that President Assad used chemical weapons on August 21st is based on false intelligence.
If this charge is false, and leads to war in Syria, it would not be the first time US leaders have misled their public into going to war. Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War, admitted in 2003 that America went to war in Vietnam on the false intelligence that North Vietnam had attacked a US destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin.
The 9/11 Consensus Panel was formed to deal with another notorious fraudulent pretext for war, the attacks of September 11, 2001, that triggered the "war on terror" and the ongoing military actions in the Middle East.
The professional 24-member Panel was formed in 2011 to show the public that behind the horrific images of planes crashing into the Towers lies a wealth of slowly emerging evidence that 9/11 was a false flag operation.
Using a standard medical review model, the Panel has thus far produced 37 Consensus Points refuting the official story, five of which are released today.
For example, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's report on the… Continue reading

text: The Animus wiki last edited by eccentrix on 05/31/15 05:37PM View full history Concept/TheoryThe basic theory behind the Animus is that all animals, including humans, have genetic memories from their ancestors which allow them to intuitively know what to do in certain situations. However, going far beyond basic instincts, genetic memories actually contain a permanent record of all of the memories ever experienced by each and every ancestor of a given individual. The Animus is a machine which can render the user's genetic memories, or those of their ancestors, as a full 3-D simulated world, which can be viewed and recorded by the outside operators. The user however, cannot simply access any memory with zero preparation; without confidence and some Synchronization with the ancestor's mindset/personality/etc. the memory is clouded and causes the user mental discomfort to view. This required Synchronization, can be learned/acquired through accessing "easier" memories. The Animus is capable of experiencing the memories of everything that happens to an ancestor, even moments they themselves would not have been able to remember, such as their birth, continuing forward until the moment when they take part in the conception of the next ancestor in the user's family tree. At that point, their genetic information is passed on, so no further direct reading is possible.UsageThroughout the series so far, Desmond Miles, the main character, uses the Animus to see the memories of his ancestor, the deadly assassin Altaïr , active during the time of the crusades. He sees the simulation as it plays out but is also supposedly controlling Altair as if the avatar of the ancient Assassin was his own body. if the player "dies" in gameplay, history is not altered, it is merely Desmond's experience becoming "de-synchronized" with what actually happened to Altaïr. Also, while using the Animus to view the genetic memory of long dead ancestors, something even weirder occasionally happens during the recorded memory. A memory glitch will occur, which allows the viewer to experience that portion of the memory from some sort of enhanced perspective. It is believed that through the over-use of the Animus it causes a 'bleeding effect where the subject is unable to distinguish between reality and the experiences inside the Animus. This is hinted at the end of the first game whereby Desmond is able to use Eagle Vision to see messages and symbols written in blood, presumably by a previous Animus user.In Assassin's Creed II, Desmond begins to use the Animus 2.0, this time to re-live the memories of a different ancestor named Ezio Auditore da Firenze. It is revealed that the Animus 2.0 allows its user to learn the skills of their ancestors through re-living their memories. This bestows Desmond with the skills learned by Ezio, as well as certain side effects gained from overuse of the Animus.The multiplayer component of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood takes place inside an Abstergo facility where the players (as Abstergo agents) each use their own Animus to recall abilities that earlier Templars had through the bleeding effect and use the simulations to train for real-world combat. The only notable change here is that the agents are experiencing the memories of an individual they are not related to. This continues in Assassin's Creed: Revelations where the player is told more specifically that their success in the Animus training will grant them deeper access to Abstergo's inner circles and the company's secrets.Animus 2.0The Animus 2.0Created by the Assassins, the Animus 2.0 is an upgraded version of its predecessor and was introduced in Assassin's Creed 2. The operator and designer of the machine, Rebecca Crane, claims the Animus 2.0 is faster and "twice as awesome" as the one created by Abstergo Industries. In addition to a new look, upgrades include a more streamlined user interface which contains a database capable of storing historical information on important landmarks, characters and documents as the user encounters them in their memories.Animus 3.0The Animus 3.oThe Animus 3.0 was constructed while Desmond was rendered comatose after the events of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Being mainly a software upgrade, the Animus 3.0 featured a new user interface and slight changes to how the user controls their ancestor within a memory. On the hardware side, the Animus 3.0 was made significantly more portable by being only a head and armrest, needing only a flat surface for the user to lie on.TriviaThe word Animus is Latin for courage, spirit, soul, intellect, memory, and consciousness.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
As Milwaukee prosecutors review a months-old allegation that athletes at Marquette University assaulted a fellow student, and a February allegation of assault at Humphrey Hall, a case with some parallels got the full "60 Minutes" treatment Sunday night.
Katie Couric reported on a case from University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. There, a player on the women's basketball team alleged she was sexually assaulted by members of the men's team in campus housing in 2008.
Police convinced her it would be hard to prosecute, so she agreed to let an internal university discipline panel hear the matter. Two players were suspended from school but later returned to the team. A third was expelled, but landed a scholarship at another university within months.
"You believe that this judicial review panel has the proper experience and expertise to adjudicate a case of sexual assault or multiple sexual assaults?" Couric asked an attorney for the university.
"Absolutely," the attorney said. "And it happens across the country on a regular basis. And it should happen. That's the appropriate panel to review these kinds of issues."
The woman eventually left University of the Pacific and sued the university. The case is pending.

By consistently filling out the monster book during the adventure, Karol might just earn some respect from Nan. In battle, Karol wields either an axe or a huge sword, making him the heavy hitter. He has many physical artes, and several healing artes based on proximity as well. Karol, being afraid of bugs, has unique skills that make him effective against insect-type enemies.

Mary from Cary, NC – Verified Buyer
The chest is beautiful and is the perfect size for blankets and miscellaneous storage items in the bedroom. My only problem is with some of the hardware and instructions that are needed for assembly. If you've never used cam screws and locks, they can be tricky. The instructions should specify that the screws should not be screwed in past the threads or the screw heads will not connect to the locks. Also, the locks are cast metal and break easily if you tighten them too much...the instructions specify to tighten them as the last step in assembly. If you're aware of these issues, the chest will assemble easily.
appearance fine, stability not so much
S. from Lancaster, NH – Verified Buyer
the cam locks: 2 broke putting it together. You had to turn them tighter or it didn't stay together. One way the box fell apart and the other they brok. There was no inbetween. If it was solidly put together I'ld really like it. Instead of being in our living room, it's in a spare room
Great piece of funiture
James from Northport, AL – Verified Buyer
I was a little skeptical at first after reading reviews but the chest is as most of them described. It is a solid great looking piece of furniture. You will however need to run to the hardware store to buy different wood dowels.
easily put together and good value
Connie from Greenwood, IN – Verified Buyer
Easily put together by Grandpa for birthday present for our granddaughter's 16th birthday. Best part was it was in the room in plain site and she had no idea it was for her until she read the card. She was pleasantly surprised that we got if for her for a hope chest. For us it was a good price and an extra good value since we got it on sale.
Looks nice, but...
Stephanie from Hilliard, OH – Verified Buyer
We had difficulty sssembling this piece. The lid wouldn't close properly, there was a lot of strain on the seams. We had to go out and buy reinforcements to put on the outside of the lid. The bottom screws didn't fit properly so we also had to drill into the bottom to properly secure it. It looks good in our room and will suffice for use as a toy box for now, but will have to replace with a nicer permanent piece later. Chestnut finish is also lighter than it appears in the image.
Judy from Tucson, AZ – Verified Buyer
It is a great piece of furniture. It is finished on both sides so you can use it as a coffee table too. It seems to be pretty solid. It wasn't too hard to put together. I would recommend it as an added piece for your living or family room.
Love My New Chest!
Judy from Levittown, PA – Verified Buyer
I purchased this chest to store things in that I don't have room for in my bedroom since moving into an apartment this past Spring & it looks so pretty! It took me about 45 minutes to put together, I did use some carpenters glue with the dowels & putting the lid on was a breeze! Everything lined up perfectly & it was in perfect condition when it arrived. I am very pleased with this purchase & it is a nice addition to my bedroom decor!
Nice piece
Deborah from North Venice, FL – Verified Buyer
We got this to put as a chest at the end of our bed. It is a slightly dark finish and works well with our bedroom set. It does have a small spot on the top that is lighter than the rest of the trunk. It noticeable, but since it worked so with our other furniture, we decided to keep it.
great chest for extra storage
Roberta from Santa Clara, CA – Verified Buyer
I have this in my one of my spare bedrooms. I bought the white one and it makes for great storage. ou do have to put it together yourself. That is the only bad part, but it was pretty simple.
Lorie from Ventura, CA – Verified Buyer
Great chest for the money! Storage was a problem for me and now I keep all linens for this room inside of the chest. Perfect.

Solidification of Hazardous Materials
Solidification refers to a process in which waste materials are bound in a solid mass, often a monolithic block. The waste may or may not react chemically with the agents used to create the solid. Solidification is generally discussed in conjunction with stabilization as a means of reducing the mobility of a pollutant. Actually, stabilization is a broad term which includes solidification, as well as other chemical processes that result in the transformation of a toxic substance to a less or non-toxic form.
Experts often speak of the technologies collectively as solidification and stabilization (S/S) methods. Chemical fixation, where chemical bonding transforms the toxicant to non-toxic form, and encapsulation, in which toxic materials are coated with an additive are processes referred to in discussions of S/S methods. There are currently about 40 different vendors of S/S services in the United...

Power is one of the most coveted tools in baseball. Not everyone can hit 40 home runs a season. Hell, not everyone can even get to 30 these days. Some players are solely known for it while others develop through their development. Either way, it's usually the last tool to develop fully. I mean, we're still waiting for James Loney to hit 20 home runs in a season. The Dodgers have some interesting power prospects in the minors. There are some guys who have average to slightly above-average power potential (O'Koyea Dickson, Corey Seager, Blake Smith), but this list is reserved for guys who have at least plus (60 or better) raw power. Best power prospects Justin Chigbogu - Chigbogu, who draws comparisons to Ryan Howard, was the Dodgers' fourth-round draft pick in 2012 out of a small high school in Missouri. He was ranked as Baseball America's 423rd-best player, yet was the 146th player chosen -- and it's because he has plus raw power. I gave him my "Best power prospe...

GDrive is dead! Long live Google Drive!
Today, Google launched Google Drive, their long-awaited cloud storage solution. Although it's seen by many as a direct answer to Dropbox, iCloud, and Skydrive, it also offers a few novel features of its own: integration with most Google web services, like Gmail, Docs, and Picasa. And perhaps most notably in the long run, it launched with an API encouraging third-party integration. 18 apps in the Chrome Web Store already implement Drive.
A Corrective Prescription For Reality
It looks like the speculation on a near-future market for wearable computers is already heating up. However, the first competitor to the recently-announced Google Glass project comes as a surprise to almost everyone: Valve, the gaming company renowned for Half Life, Portal, and many others, in addition to their digital distribution heavyweight Steam. This will be their first foray into hardware of any kind.

Not surprising - it's getting more and more humid and dark. But, as long as we don't get hail we're happy.
got mushrooms that needed to be cooked tonight on the stove with onions and garlic. Bought hamburg...hoping DH wants burgers, but if not, I'll make them for myself.
Re: May 2013

Omg, these burgers with the natural TJ's beef (85% lean) were delectable. So much for going lighter today - did well until I had 1 1/2 third of a pound burgers, biscuit, cup of sauteed mushrooms and onions, salad with dressing, and wine for dinner. Oh, well, it was yummy, and I feel great.

Good morning everyone. Such a proud mom day. DS' school choir has been asked to sing at Harvard's graduation. I'm over the moon, though I wish I could sneak in. Thay also have a choir tonight, all proceeds to benefit the One Fund.
What a lovely day it will be.

Wow, Winter, that's AWESOME!!! Congrats to him and his choir, and I'm choked up for where the money is going given your tie. Maybe he'd consider starting a journal - this would be a great first entry.
ETA: I know you'd want to be there, but I'm sure Harvard's graduation will be taped and put on YouTube by at least one graduate...right?
Re: May 2013
posted at 5/30/2013 8:00 AM EDT
Congrats, I am sure someone from Harvard will video it and post on YouTube if not specifically for you parents. Maybe ask the powers that be at the school if that is planned? I think singing in a choir is such a valuable experience for any child. Your DS is really taking advantage of his opportunities!

I'm hoping someone does that. :) They are singing one song, Hello, Goodbye by the Beatles. I was very touched by where the money is going, we bought the kids Boston Strong t-shirts and they are wearing jeans and sneakers tonight. I defintely can't get him to start a journal, the teacher has enough trouble wiht that...lol. Thanks Hats, he's quite the singing, he wanted one of the solos tonight, but he's at the cracking voice stage. :(
Re: May 2013

Good morning,
Congratulations, Winter. That's a wonderful honor for their choir to be chosen. Such sweet voices they have at that age. How is the transportation being arranged, are they all going together in one bus? As the others have said, I'm sure it will be taped. Is the choir tonight open to the parents and general public? I'm sure you will get some wonderful pictures of that too. Don't blame you for being proud.
Re: May 2013
posted at 5/30/2013 8:21 AM EDT
Transporation is all set. This The thing that is really cool is that this is the youngest choir the school has had, it's open to 5th - 8th grade, but no 8th graders are in it this year. Yes, tonight is open to the public so I'll be getting there an hour beforehand to save some seats. Sadly my mom will miss it for the first time, since she is still one her cruise, Stockholm Sweeden today.

That's too bad about your mom missing it, but at least it's for a fun reason. :) I bet at least part of their number will be on NECN or local Boston news given it's Harvard and that it's tied to The One Fund. We'll be watching for it!

Since I'm not needing a new computer (thanks to my wonderful tech), I think my "found" overpaid heating oil money will be well put towards a new kitchen table. Pedestal split is even wider. G.T. had a wonderful idea, a farm table, white legs (matching cabinet he did for me) and a natural finished oak top. That way I can keep the same chairs, which I love.

What an honor, Winter. Was watching a bit of the live steam, but did not hear your son's choir. They will stream it again at 4 pm. Just love those boy voices.
What a night. Didn't get much sleep. The thunder and lightning was just above us. One hit a tree in our back yard. The tree seems to be doing ok, but there is a burnt line going down the length of the tree. We lost power for maybe 20 minutes.
Hot out already. Our A/C's are running constantly. With the humidity, it is not going to be one of the best weekends out.
Feeling a lot better this morning in regard to my cold; if I had gotten some sleep, I would have felt a lot better. Since I haven't spent much time at my office lately, I have a lot of catching up to do, so I will drag myself in there today. Will rest over the weekend.

Steam asparagus until very soft. Add cooked asparagus and chicken stock to Vitamix and run on high until steam escapes, about 5 - 6 minutes. Turn down to Level 5, pour the half and half through the top and blend 30 more seconds. Add salt and pepper to taste, blend and serve.
makes 5 cups (40 oz), 63 calories per cup (I entered the recipe with half and half into LoseIt and measured the finished amount to be exactly 5 cups).

tt, I forgot to mention, I went to a baby shower a long time ago, where that was mentioned in the invitations. But a specific age group was also included, so we didn't all bring new born stuff. Like 3 months, 6 months etc. If I remember correctly, it went all the way up to 2 years of age.
The hostesses had even bought the mother-to-be one of those drying racks, you place in your yard, as well as one of the small ones you keep inside. When we arrived, we were given clothes pins to pin up our gifts. Such a cute idea. I am glad to hear it is still going on.
