Jeff Stein has a troubling scoop that both the Government Accountability Project and POGO have been burgled — POGO in recent weeks and GAP several years ago.
The POGO break-in seems of lesser concern, because they don't appear to have taken anything — though Stein notes that POGO was involved in releasing the DOD IG Report that revealed CIA's close ties to Zero Dark Thirty (and, because some dirty fucking hippie pointed it out, that William McRaven ordered Osama bin Laden photos "destroyed immediately" when Judicial Watch FOIAed them).
POGO is also relentless in its documentation of the waste of the F-35 program.
The GAP break-in occurred back in January 2011.
In the Jan. 6, 2011 incident, the burglars seemed interested in just a few of the computers among the dozen or so in the office. Of the six stolen, two belonged to GAP's national security attorneys, and one to its legal director, according to GAP President Louis Clark. No culprits have been arrested.
Jesselyn Radack, the director of GAP's National Security and Human Rights Program, is a legal adviser to Snowden.
This was the period when the WikiLeaks investigation was heating up, as was the Jeffrey Sterling prosecution. Several months later, Thomas Drake would get his plea deal.
In addition, in recent months, someone has been trying to deal GAP classified documents.
In the months since the group's association with the fugitive leaker began, Clark said, "We have had a highly suspicious person twice try to give us so-called 'classified' documents." Because the group is not a news organization, accepting classified documents could leave it open to prosecution.
It's not surprising that weird stuff is happening to Raddack's organization as she assist Snowden. But this does seem like a setup.
Update: Via Twitter Radack made it clear the break in to GAP was during the Thomas Drake case.
"Destroy them immediately."
That's what Admiral William McRaven said 11 days after Judicial Watch FOIAed for pictures of Osama bin Laden's remains.
As I was the first to note back in June, McRaven ordered that all photos in JSOC's possession should be purged. According to the IG Report where I first noted that order, he ordered them be sent to CIA (the final IG Report censored that reference). I thought at the time (and still believe) it was an attempt to jurisdictionally sheep dip the pictures, just as the operation had been, to get further protection for the pictures.
It's only now, after Judicial Watch lost their suit to obtain these photos, that DOD has gotten around to providing this document that makes it clear McRaven ordered the photos not just purged, but "destroyed" after the Judiical Watch request.
It's all so familiar!
Yesterday evening, reports appeared in both the New York Times and Khaama Press in Afghanistan that the final hurdle for the Bilateral Security Agreement had been cleared and that US President Barack Obama would sign a letter to be read at the loya jirga. The letter would note that the US has made mistakes in its war efforts in Afghanistan. Further, the letter would convey an apology along with a pledge to avoid repeating the mistakes in which innocent Afghan citizens suffered.
But for the endless war faction within the US military and government, an apology just won't do (even if there was one to Pakistan that finally reopened the supply routes after the US killed 24 Pakistani border troops). National Security Advisor Susan Rice immediately got time with Wolf Blitzer on CNN to nip the idea of an apology in the bud:
"No such letter has been drafted or delivered. There is not a need for the United States to apologize to Afghanistan," National Security Adviser Susan Rice said on CNN's "Situation Room."
"Quite the contrary, we have sacrificed and supported them in their democratic progress and in tackling the insurgents and al Qaeda. So that (letter of apology) is not on the table."
Rice said she has seen news reports but has no idea where they are coming from, describing the claims as a "complete misunderstanding of what the situation is."
Here's the video:
[youtuber youtube='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRDWTuApcxM']
I'm surprised she didn't go all the way to insisting on an apology from Afghanistan for being ungrateful for all the freedom we've unleashed on them.
The Times version of the story has been through a number of changes. Note that the url retains the early headline for the story "Key Issue Said to be Resolved in US-Afghan Security Talks". The story now reflects the push-back from Rice, but it also shows that diplomats are focusing on a letter anyway (but of course now can't call it an apology):
A senior State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss continuing negotiations, was more noncommittal, saying that a letter acknowledging past issues like civilian casualties was a possibility being weighed. "We will consider his request for reassurances, including the option of a letter from the administration stating our position," the official said.
Under the Afghan description, in return for the letter, Mr. Karzai would then accept wording that allowed American Special Operations raids to search and detain militants within Afghan homes, but only under "extraordinary circumstances" to save the lives of American soldiers. That would seem to greatly hamper the American intent behind those operations, which commanders have said are critical to taking the fight directly to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
The Washington Post goes further on the letter and suggests that it will indeed be signed by Obama and delivered: Continue reading
While the nation grieves over the senseless death of Trayvon Martin and the missed opportunity to hold his killer responsible for that death, there is another senseless death of an American teenager of color where an attempt is continuing, after previous failures, to hold accountable those responsible for the lawless way in which this life was arbitrarily ended.
Exactly one year ago today, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights filed a lawsuit (pdf) on behalf of Nasser al-Awlaki (father of Anwar al-Awlaki and grandfather of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki) and Sarah Khan (wife of Samir Khan). The defendants in the case are former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Commander of Special Operations Command William McRaven, Commander of Joint Special Operations Command Joseph Votel and former CIA Head David Petraeus. The complaint cites violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments as well as violation of the Bill of Attainder Clause in the targeted killings of Anwar al-Awlaki, Abdulrahaman al-Awlaki and Samir Khan. Oral arguments on the suit begin tomorrow.
Given what is known about the role of Barack Obama in these killings and his personal authorization of the "kill list" in his Terror Tuesday meetings, I find it perplexing that he is not also a defendant in this case.
The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be determined at the trial and any other relief the court deems just and proper.
Coincident with the filing of the complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia a year ago, the video above was released. Today, an op-ed by Nasser al-Awlaki was published in the New York Times, helping to focus attention on tomorrow's opening arguments. The video and op-ed are truly gut-wrenching.
From the op-ed:
I LEARNED that my 16-year-old grandson, Abdulrahman — a United States citizen — had been killed by an American drone strike from news reports the morning after he died.
The missile killed him, his teenage cousin and at least five other civilians on Oct. 14, 2011, while the boys were eating dinner at an open-air restaurant in southern Yemen.
The grandfather describes his anguish as he seeks answers to the question of why his grandson was killed:
Nearly two years later, I still have no answers. The United States government has refused to explain why Abdulrahman was killed. It was not until May of this year that the Obama administration, in a supposed effort to be more transparent, publicly acknowledged what the world already knew — that it was responsible for his death.
Nasser al-Awlaki describes the huge impact an education in the United States made on his life and how he put that education to use when he returned to Yemen. More importantly, he puts the actions of the United States in killing his son and grandson significantly at odds with the values of the United States when he was a student here:
A country that believes it does not even need to answer for killing its own is not the America I once knew. From 1966 to 1977, I fulfilled a childhood dream and studied in the United States as a Fulbright scholar, earning my doctorate and then working as a researcher and assistant professor at universities in New Mexico, Nebraska and Minnesota.
After returning to Yemen, I used my American education and skills to help my country, serving as Yemen's minister of agriculture and fisheries and establishing one of the country's leading institutions of higher learning, Ibb University. Abdulrahman used to tell me he wanted to follow in my footsteps and go back to America to study. I can't bear to think of those conversations now.
The op-ed closes with a direct and haunting question:
The government has killed a 16-year-old American boy. Shouldn't it at least have to explain why?
Sadly, we can state with confidence that even before the proceedings open the government will argue that it does not have to explain why it killed Abdulrahman. Because terror. Even more sadly, it is quite likely that the court will side with this senseless and lawless argument. Because terror.
What has our country become?
Congratulations to the AP, which has caught up to the reporting I did a month ago on the way SOCOM purged their own systems of Osama bin Laden photos (and, apparently, records) and moved them to the CIA.
But it appears that this shell game involved more than just moving all these records to CIA. It appears CIA had to retroactively classify at least the photographs.
As you recall, Judicial Watch (as well as a bunch of other entities) had FOIAed any pictures of the raid. It its motion for summary judgment, JW made several complaints about the government's FOIA response:
It is the last of these that is most interesting, given the apparent fact that DOD transfered all its photos to CIA (plus my suspicion that a lot of these are trophy photos, not official operational photos).
First, Defendants fail to identify who classified the records. Director Bennett testifies as to who generally has the authority to classify information as TOP SCERET and who generally has the authority to delegate such authority. Bennett Decl. at ¶¶ 14-15. In addition, Director Bennett states that the "Director of the CIA has delegated original TOP SECRET classification authority to me. As an original classification authority, I am authorized to conduct classification reviews and to make original classification decisions." Id. at ¶ 18. Yet, Director Bennett does not testify that he personally classified the records. Nor does he state that any other authorized official actually classified the records. If an individual without the proper authority classified the records, Defendants have not complied with the procedural requirements of EO 13526.
Second, Director Bennett does not specifically testify as to when the 52 records were classified. Director Bennett only states that as of September 26, 2011, the 52 records are currently and properly classified. Continue reading
On Tuesday, I noted that, between the draft and the final, DOD's Inspector General removed this language referring to Admiral William McRaven purging SOCOM's network of pictures of Osama bin Laden after CIA exposed the members of SEAL Team 6.
This effort included purging these records to another Government Agency.
But there was also telling new language introduced in the final (which would have been introduced between late last year and last week). The draft included this sentence.
ADM McRaven also directed that the names and photographs associated with the raid not be released.
The final changed that language to read,
ADM McRaven also directed personnel to forego releasing names of operators and photographs associated with the raid.
The use of the word "personnel" is ambiguous, as it's not clear whether it refers to the SEAL Team members mentioned earlier in the paragraph or to DOD staffers who handle SOCOM's archives (or to CIA personnel who now purportedly have the photos).
But I find it telling, given another detail about Judicial Watch's FOIA for these photos.
Recall that on February 15, 2013, DOJ informed Judicial Watch that CIA had found 7 more photos responsive to their FOIA. That happened just 4 days after Esquire published a splashy story about the guy who claimed to have been the SEAL who actually killed OBL. The current version includes this line.
In the compound, I thought about getting my camera, and I knew we needed to take pictures and ID him.
I had made the connection at the time, and I have a distinct suspicion the language was slightly different in the original (Esquire was making factual corrections along the way but the original is not on Internet Archive), making it clear that the Shooter and possibly others did take pictures, though perhaps not for operational purposes.
What kind of amped up warrior who had just helped kill the bogeyman could resist taking souvenir pictures? Could you blame them, if so?
In any case, I suspected at the time that the reason CIA "located" new photos was because they read about another set of photos in the possession in one of the guys who participated in the op, if not shot the lethal bullet. The ambiguity in the description of McRaven's order seems to support that.
That is, what SOCOM and CIA appear to be protecting are — in significant part — the personal photos taken by the guys who did the operation.
The day before I got hopelessly buried in the rabbit warren of NSA leaks, I reported that the draft IG Report on the Obama Administration's leaks to Zero Dark Thirty's creators seemed to indicate that, on Admiral William McRaven's orders, SOCOM had purged its networks of Osama bin Laden photos that were the subject of an active Judicial Watch FOIA.
According to ADM McRaven, the DoD provided the operators and their families an inordinate level of security. ADM McRaven held a meeting with the families to discuss force protection measures and tell the families that additional protective monitoring will be provided, and to call security personnel if they sensed anything. ADM McRaven also directed that the names and photographs associated with the raid not be released. This effort included purging these records to another Government Agency.
The other day the final report came out. And while I haven't yet read the report in depth (short version: it clears the Obama Administration of all the improprieties laid out in the draft), I do notice this interesting edit.
According to ADM McRaven, DoD provided the operators and their families an inordinate level of security. ADM McRaven stated that he previously met with operators' family members and discussed force protection measures. USSOCOM officials informed family members that protective monitoring will be initiated, and instructed them to call security personnel if security-related incidents arise. ADM McRaven also directed personnel to forego releasing names of operators and photographs associated with the raid.
They took out all mention of the "purge" of photos requested under FOIA.
To be fair, the use of the word "purge" in the original always seemed inapt, as it appears that McRaven ordered the photos on DOD servers to be moved — not destroyed — to CIA's servers. So it's not like McRaven ordered evidence be destroyed.
Still, as I'll eventually get around to describing, it may have affected the outcome of the FOIA.
Which seems worthy of note. But apparently not to the people who protect top military leaders.
I wanted to point to one more detail from the DOD Inspector General's report on Leon Panetta's leaks to Zero Dark 30's filmakers.
The very last page of the report describes how Admiral William McRaven responded after realizing the SEALs who had participated in the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound had all hung around a Hollywood producer with their name badges exposed.
According to ADM McRaven, the DoD provided the operators and their families an inordinate level of security. ADM McRaven held a meeting with the families to discuss force protection measures and tell the families that additional protective monitoring will be provided, and to call security personnel if they sensed anything. ADM McRaven also directed that the names and photographs associated with the raid not be released. This effort included purging these records to another Government Agency. [my emphasis]
The report doesn't reveal when SOCOM purged its records and handed the documents to, presumably though not definitely, CIA, though if McRaven directed it, it happened after he took command in August 2011. (Update: That's probably not right, as he was in command of the operation in any case.)
But it's a relevant question because Judicial Watch had FOIAed pictures of OBL on May 3, 2011, and sued 10 days later, so before all the leaking and presumably therefore the purging began. On June 26, 2011, just two days after Panetta's leaky party, the government stalled on the suit, saying Judicial Watch had not exhausted its administrative remedies. By September 26, DOD claimed they had no pictures of OBL (though earlier this year there were reports 7 new photos had been found) and CIA claimed none of the 52 pictures they had could be released. Along with that filing, McRaven submitted a declaration explaining why these photos couldn't be released, though the interesting parts remain redacted. John Bennett's declaration for the CIA does not describe when the Agency searched its files for photographs, and therefore doesn't indicate whether they searched before or after DOD purged its files.
Now, none of this timing would mitigate CIA's claims about the extremely grave harm that would arise from releasing OBL death porn.
But it is, at the very least, very sketchy — and all that's before having a really good sense of when the purging and the FOIA response occurred.
Update: I spoke to Judicial Watch's lawyer for this FOIA, Michael Bekesha, and they have never been informed of this purge. Though it may explain some other details about the progress of the FOIA, including some funkiness with the classification of the photos.
Update: Here's DOD's declaration about their search from September 26, 2011.
It's interesting for two reasons. First, they make claims about SOCOM files that is the exact opposite of what DOD said in the NYT/ACLU FOIA for Anwar al-Awlaki related OLC memos. Whereas in the drone FOIA, they claimed CENTCOM handled SOCOM's FOIA responses, this one says,
The mission of USSOCOM is to provide Special Operations Forces to defend the United States and its interests. A priority of USSOCOM is to "Deter, Disrupt, and Defeat Terrorist Threats," and a primary aspect of this priority is to plan and conduct special operations. When a special operation is conducted, the military service Components of USSOCOM (U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Navy Special Warfare Command, U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command, and Marine Corps Special Operations Command) provide Special Operations Forces (personnel and equipment) to the operation. Accordingly, it is DoD FOIA policy that documents created or maintained by these military service Components during or for a joint special operation come under the cognizance of USSOCOM and not the military services for purposes of the FOIA. Therefore, USSOCOM and not the military services, is responsible for the searches of records responsive to plaintiff's FOIA request at those service components that may have participated in the subject operation.
And like CIA, they don't date their search description at SOCOM, so don't say whether it happened pre- or post-purge.
USSOCOM searched the Headquarters and relevant Components, and no records responsive to plaintiff's request were located. The specific filing systems searched at the Headquarters USSOCOM offices and relevant Components were all hard copy and electronic records including all email records during the inclusive dates of May 1, 2011, through May 31, 2011.
We've known for some time that the military was rolling out its new-and-improved HUMINT function, the Defense Clandestine Service. But this article–laying out the ambitious goals of the program–is all the more interesting given several events that transpired since the NCS announcement: specifically, the Benghazi attack and the Petraeus resignation.
Part of the logic behind the move, the article explains, is that CIA is already overstretched; this will allow CIA to task DIA resources with the collection driven by military, rather than policy, needs.
The project was triggered by a classified study by the director of national intelligence last year that concluded that key Pentagon intelligence priorities were falling into gaps created by the DIA's heavy focus on battlefield issues and CIA's extensive workload.
Over and over, the article suggests the CIA is so busy in part because of its involvement in the drone program.
Through its drone program, the CIA now accounts for a majority of lethal U.S. operations outside the Afghan war zone.
The CIA is increasingly overstretched. Obama administration officials have said they expect the agency's drone campaign against al-Qaeda to continue for at least a decade more, even as the agency faces pressure to stay abreast of issues including turmoil across the Middle East. Meanwhile, the CIA hasn't met ambitious goals set by former president George W. Bush to expand its own clandestine service.
If the drone program has sucked up CIA's time, the agency doesn't appear to be complaining about it. On the contrary, the recently-departed David Petraeus demanded more drones, not more resources for HUMINT.
The suggestion, then, is that CIA is too busy to collect HUMINT because it is so busy being a paramilitary organization.
But look at the topics DIA is said to be focusing on.
Among the Pentagon's top intelligence priorities, officials said, are Islamist militant groups in Africa, weapons transfers by North Korea and Iran, and military modernization underway in China.
"The CIA doesn't want to be looking for surface-to-air missiles in Libya" when it's also under pressure to assess the opposition in Syria, said a former high-ranking U.S. military intelligence officer who worked closely with both spy services. Even in cases where their assignments overlap, the DIA is likely to be more focused than the CIA on military aspects — what U.S. commanders in Africa might ask about al-Qaeda in Mali, for example, rather than the broader questions raised by the White House. [my emphasis]
With the argument thus laid out, Greg Miller might well have said, "DIA needs the DCS to avoid another Benghazi." Continue reading
Most of the coverage of Admiral William McRaven's letter to the special operations community telling them to shut up has focused on McRaven's insinuation that the recent flurry of activity stems entirely from a desire for personal or political gain. But I find McRaven's comments about what forms of publicity about special ops are appropriate just as interesting (thanks to Josh Rogin for linking a copy).
McRaven notes the importance of books on special operations as a learning tool.
Few senior SOF officers have benefited more from reading about the exploits of our legendary heroes than I. My thesis at the Naval Postgraduate School was based on a rigorous examination of the available literature, without which I could never have written my book on "The Theory of Special Operations."
Most of these books were wonderful accounts of courage, leadership, tough decision making, and martial skill all of which benefited me as I tried to understand of our past and how it could affect missions in the future.
And he suggests that movies "provide public insights into life in special operations … that can't be garnered anywhere else."
Movies that portray the heroics of service members are also well worth watching and often provide the public insights into life in special operations or the service that can't be garnered anywhere else.
Personally, I was motivated to join special operations after watching the movie, "The Green Berets", starring John Wayne. To this day my Army brethren still wonder where I went wrong…
Countless stories have been told through the medium of film that needed to be told and I am thankful that they were.
Now, I'm grateful that McRaven has criticized OPSEC's attempt to politicize the Osama bin Laden raid (though it does suggest a double standard). But these comments are rather troubling.
First, note that McRaven's thesis depends on at least two first person narratives of special ops soldiers–those of Otto Skorzeny and Jonathan Netanyahu (though Netanyahu's consists of his letters published after his death). So McRaven's citation of his thesis hardly discredits Matt Bissonnette's decision to publish his own first person account of his SEAL exploits.
I'm even more troubled by McRaven's suggestion that we should turn to Hollywood to learn of stories "that need[] to be told."
One reason he may do so is to legitimize the Administration's cooperation with the Zero Dark Thirty team. If the Commander of SOCOM suggests Hollywood is the proper venue for special ops stories, it serves to distinguish the Administration's push for publicity for the Osama bin Laden raid from that of the SEALs. (Though since Bissonnette's already shopping his book, I expect McRaven's position on movies may soon change.)
Of course, in doing so McRaven also suggests that fictional stories are all taxpayers should learn about these "stories that need to be told." Not just fictional ones, either, but sensational ones. The better to inspire a future head of SOCOM to join the military, just like John Wayne did for McRaven!
Of course, that says taxpayers should only have a false understanding of the wars being fought in their names, which is a profoundly contemptuous view. I have no idea whether Bissonnette's narrative will be accurate (the Pentagon has gotten a copy and is reading it now, so they may seize it before we get to see). But if it is accurate, why should a Hollywood movie be a more valid telling of the OBL story than the kind of firsthand account McRaven himself has relied upon?
Plus, by endorsing sensational Hollywood narratives, McRaven effectively endorses the kind of special ops hero that would, himself, seek publicity. You can't have Hollywood serve as the legitimate venue for discussing special operations without feeding the system that would lead a SEAL to want to write his own book and sell the rights to Steven Spielberg. Hollywood created the market for such books; you can't expect veterans not to feed it.
If the Commander of SOCOM believes the stories of special ops need to be told, then he should declassify them so they can be told in a format that is factual, sober, and complete. This endorsement of Hollywood flicks–while it may serve the Administration's immediate interests–makes the Administration's abuse of information asymmetry even worse. It defends not only the Administration getting exclusive control over how to the tell the stories, but suggests it should do so using fictional and sensational means.

Astrodoomed? Famed Houston Stadium May Fall To Wrecking Ball

Voters in Houston on Tuesday rejected a bond referendum that would have allowed Harris County, Texas, to borrow $217 million that it could then spend on turning the Astrodome into one very large convention and exhibition hall.
The vote was 53 percent against the referendum, to 47 percent in favor.
Now, our friends at KUHF report, it will be up to Harris County commissioners "to decide the iconic building's ultimate fate."
The Houston Chronicle says it's likely the arena once known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" will be razed:
"County commissioners have said they would recommend the wrecking ball if the bond failed. 'We're going to have to do something quick,' County Judge Ed Emmett said afterward. 'We can't allow the once-proud dome to sit like a rusting ship in the middle of a parking lot.' "
The Astrodome hasn't been used since 2009, KUHF says. It opened on April 9, 1965, with an exhibition game between baseball's New York Yankees and the local Astros.
There's talk that it should be declared a historic site. As the Texas Historical Association notes, the Astrodome was "the first fully air-conditioned, enclosed, domed, multipurpose sports stadium in the world."
Earlier this year, The New York Times wrote about how it "gave us domed, all-purpose stadiums and artificial turf and expansive scoreboards."
Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs there in 1973's "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match. The University of Houston and UCLA played in the dome in 1968 in what was then college basketball's "Game of the Century."
President George H.W. Bush was nominated there at the 1992 Republican National Convention. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Astrodome offered shelter to evacuees from Louisiana.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation includes the Astrodome on its 2013 list of "11 most endangered historic places" in the U.S.
It has seen better times, though.
The NFL's Houston Oilers left town after the 1996 season. A new football team, the Texans, started playing in Houston in 2002. But the Texans' home is at the newer Reliant Stadium.
Baseball's Astros moved out of the dome after the 1999 season and since then have played in the city's Minute Maid Park.
The last concert at the Astrodome was a 2001 show by country music star George Strait.
About all the building is being used for these days is to store equipment and other goods used at Reliant Stadium.
KUHF's Houston Matters show says it would cost about $64 million to demolish the Astrodome. Talk of its being torn down makes us wonder what everyone thinks.
If the Astrodome is demolished, of course, we will be on the lookout for videos and reports from the scene. As longtime Two-Way readers know, we do like controlled implosions.

From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
by E.L. Konigsburg
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler Dreams, Hopes, and Plans Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"I've picked you to accompany me on the greatest adventure of our mutual lives," Claudia repeated. (1.26)
Claudia sure does romanticize things, but in a way, it's because she believes that this is going to be a big and grand adventure. And it's true—those kids end up getting into a lot more than they bargained for.
Quote #2
On Tuesday night Jamie found his list of instructions under his pillow pinned to his pajamas. (2.1)
Talk about getting down to the nitty-gritty of adventure planning. Claudia leaves Jamie a note, and he takes the whole "sneaky and complicated" business to another level when he eats the whole note. Yes. Eats it.

Two years ago, researchers published a study which concluded that spider silk conducts heat as well as metals. Now scientists have repeated the experiment and the results throw this discovery into question. The resistance and elasticity of spiders' webs is widely known, but scientists announced in 2012 that they are also excellent thermal conductors.

I used to have a lot of respect for David Attenborough. He makes such amazing documentaries about the natural world. Unfortunately he is also a rabid malthusian and I don't have any respect for that at all. For a scientist he is showing a remarkable degree of critical thought failure. Maybe it's his age or maybe he's just an obnoxious, greenie cunt. Liz Thomas in the Daily Fail reports on the article Attenbore wrote for the Staggers [no link].
Sir David Attenborough has warned that population growth must be stopped in order to offer a 'decent life' for all.
Yes, let's not let poor people in third world countries breed.
The wildlife broadcaster said people were shying away from accepting that the world's resources cannot sustain current levels of population growth.
And, in Gaia's blessed name, let's not let those same poor people have access to electricity and tried and tested GM crop technology to improve their miserable lot in life so they don't have to keep producing kids to replace the ones lost to disease and starvation.
'There cannot be more people on this Earth than can be fed,' he writes in the New Statesman.
But that doesn't include you, eh Dave? Nor your kids or grandkids.
'The sooner we stabilise our numbers, the sooner we stop running up the down escalator – and we have some chance of reaching the top; that is to say, a decent life for all.'
So several billion people need to be removed from the equasion to make the plan work. Nice.
Sir David, 84, said the global population is over six billion and will hit nine billion in 30 years, but 'there seems to be some bizarre taboo around the subject'.
There is also some bizarre logic around the subject too. Attenbore states the world can barely feed the population as it exists today. Yet apparently there will be sufficient food so that people can exist, breed and increase the population by fifty percent thirty years from now. Shome mishtake shurley…
He warned of a 'perfect storm of population growth, climate change and peak oil production', leading to 'insecurity in the supply of food, water and energy'.
FFS! Where to start? Impending peak oil is a greenie shibboleth dating back to the first oil crisis in 1973 and recent massive offshore oil strikes continue to give lie to the claims. Greenies don't want us using fossil fuels; we must use sustainable energy or Gaia will cry. Let's not explore the real possibility that oil might not be what it is claimed to be. Is oil actually a fossil fuel or is its source abiotic in nature? Will we run out or will the Earth continue to replenish the supply? As for the perfect load of bollocks storm of population growth and climate change, maybe we should consult some of the 50 million climate refugees and ask their opinions. Oh wait…
'We now realise that the disasters that continue increasingly to afflict the natural world have one element that connects them all – the unprecedented increase in the number of human beings on the planet,' he added.
Because we all know that people shagging like rats in mud huts and shanties cause earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. As can the Chinese if they all endeavour to jump off identical chairs simultaneously.
'All these people, in this country and worldwide, rich or poor, need and deserve food, water, energy and space. Will they be able to get it? I don't know.'
What people need and deserve is the dignity to get on with their own lives without bastards like Attenbore and the ecofascists telling them they are surplus to requirements so please go away and die.
Sir David said there was a 'taboo' tackling the subject and that people shied away from stating the fact that a world's resources cannot sustain current levels of population growth.
Yes, seeing images of tens of millions starving from failing world resources in the news every day is very harrowing. Or would be if it was true. Please feel free to ignore the real horror of tens of millions suffering and dying from curable/preventable diseases and war.
He said: 'There seems to be some bizarre taboo around the subject. This taboo doesn't just inhibit politicians and civil servants who attend the big conferences.
But it doesn't inhibit you or any of the other people loathing malthusian fanatics does it Dave…
'It even affects the environmental and developmental non-governmental organisations, the people who claim to care most passionately about a sustainable and prosperous future for our children.'
Maybe because there are actually honest environmentalists and humanitarians out there who realise that there are some lines you do not cross and some alarmist lies you cannot support. Something a misanthropic winnet like Attenbore fails to understand.
The 84-year-old praised controversial 18th century demographer Thomas Malthus, who argued that populations increase until they are halted by 'misery and vice'.
Misery and vice have been with the human race from the time it swung out of the trees. So far these twin evils have proved to be an exceptionally crap form of contraception. This inconvenient detail makes Malthus look a bit of a silly twunt; just like his groupie, Attenbore.
'The government's chief scientist and the last president of the Royal Society have both referred to the 'perfect storm' of population growth, climate change, and peak oil production, leading inexorably to more and more insecurity in the supply of food, water and energy.'
All because scaring the UK population out of their knickers and charging them for the priviledge is Big Business. I'd take these rent seeking weasels more seriously if they provided some incontrovertible actualité to back up their claims rather than bullshit rhetoric and propa-fucking-ganda.
The global population is now in excess of six billion and is predicted to hit nine billion within 30 years.
I heard you the first time, Dave. I'm still waiting for you to explain how today's failing world resources will sustain a 50% population growth thirty years hence.
Experts have predicted that the British population – which is currently around 62million – will increase to 70million by 2029.
Yeah, about the uncontrollable immigration into the UK problem. It seems the "experts" answer to that one is to do sweet Fanny Adams. No need to mention the fact that the birth rate of the indigenous population, that's people like me and you Dave, is actually in decline because that would put a bit of a crimp in your Malthusiastic philosophy, wouldn't it.
A report by the sustainable development group Forum For The Future said Britain would struggle to handle such growth. The increase in population would be 'catastrophic' and put unsustainable pressure on housing, schools and hospitals as well as natural resources.
Don't make me laugh! Forum for the Future is a fake charity and will say what it is paid to say by its overlords major donor, the government. The very same government who holds the solution to the problem but lacks the intelligence, the balls and the political will to apply it.
Current trends will see a city the size of Bristol added to the population of the UK every year for the next two decades.
And will continue unabated until someone applies the brakes on immigration. It's hardly fucking rocket science.
Sir David's comments follow a similar warning from BBC wildlife expert Chris Packham.
People who pay their TV licences are subsidising this rancid, anti-people cockwaffle. Doesn't that make you feel your money is being well spent?
The Springwatch presenter suggested offering Britons tax breaks to encourage them to have smaller families.
It's not sensible, hard working Britons that are the problem. How about not rewarding the undeserving, life-long benefit whores who recreate and procreate at the taxpayers expense?
He effectively endorsed China's controversial one-child policy, which sees couples who adhere to the rule given a lump sum on retirement.
Because that works so well in cultures and societies where misogyny and male domination is rampant. Let's hear it for Chris Packham, gendercidal cunt.
But he stopped short of suggesting people should be penalised for having too many children.
Working people with more than one child pay more tax than those with one or none. How isn't that punitive? And if they are working and can afford to keep their children fed and clothed what fucking business is it of Pakham's, Attenbore's any any other misanthropic scumbag?
Packham, 49, who has no children of his own, told Radio Times: 'By 2020, there are going to be 70million people in Britain. Let's face it, that's too many.'
There's obviously a Malthusian crib sheet doing the rounds. Saves the buggers having to form anything approaching an independent or critical thought.
He added: 'There's no point bleating about the future of pandas, polar bears and tigers when we're not addressing the one single factor that's putting more pressure on the ecosystem than any other – namely the ever-increasing size of the world's population.'
This would be the same ecosystem from which people evolved, would it? Gaia played one hell of a blinder, huh?
Packham suggested offering couples a financial incentive as 'a carrot' to persuade them to have fewer – or no – children.
He said: 'I would offer them tax breaks for having small families: say, 10 per cent off your tax bill if you decide to stick with just one child. And an even bigger financial incentive if you choose not to have a family at all.'
According to a BBC news article from December 2010 the average size of a British family is shrinking and the trend is ongoing. Yet two prominent BBC employees insist the exact opposite is true. This is reminiscent of alien hand syndrome but with cunts.
'I question the way, for example, people have two children with one partner, then split up and have two with their next partner, just to even up the score.
'Fact is, we all eat food, breathe air and require space, and the more of us there are, the less of those commodities there are for other people and, of course, for the animals.'
Fact is Packham and Attenbore hate the very people who put bread on their tables and fund their globe trotting lifestyles. Why do we tolerate and subsidise these bastards?

Kimberley Haas firstname.lastname@example.com">
NOTTINGHAM — A dairy delivery driver from Catamount Farm in Chichester alerted emergency crews to a fire that destroyed an antique garage and workshop on Kennard Road Thursday.
Homeowner Judith Kennard said a blonde young man who drives a truck that says nhmilk.com stopped at the end of her driveway when he saw the fire. Kennard was home alone and wondering why the man was there when she noticed her garage was in flames.
"I have seen the truck before but never paid very much attention to it," Kennard said Thursday night.
She is grateful that someone called for help. Her house, which is near the garage, sustained exterior damage from the three-alarm fire.
"How kind he was to care that much," Kennard said Thursday night. "We are really, really lucky. We just have to see it that way."
The woman said the property at 110 Kennard Road has been in her husband's family for 250 years. The barnlike structure has been used to store many things, including items owned by her husband, Michael.
"Everybody's stuff was in there, including some of ours," Kennard said. "There isn't anything in particular I can think of. It's just supposed to be there and now it's not."
Crews from across the region responded to the fire, which was reported at 11:27 a.m. It was under control at 1:24 p.m. Chief Jaye Vilchock of Nottingham Fire Rescue said crews and equipment from Barrington, Deerfield, Durham, Epping, Lee, Madbury, Newmarket, Raymond and Strafford helped fight the fire.
Vilchock said the fire is not considered suspicious.
"Cause is undetermined at this time," he said.
The 32-foot by 75-foot building was a total loss. The total dollar amount of damage to the home is not yet known, Vilchock said.

text:
I am here today to give you a message you don't often hear on tech blogs – you have too much. Too much software, too many unneeded applications, too much digital clutter. Even if you happen to be working on a brand-new computer right now, I can almost guarantee your system is overloaded with crap you really don't need, and would be better off without.
And I don't just mean applications that come with the PC; I mean the zillion applications you've downloaded and installed at one time or another, and then forgot about. I mean those endless stacks of folders littering your home folder, that applications decided to create there for some reason or another.
Blame Microsoft
As a self-proclaimed Windows fanboy, I must say this is one area where Microsoft can do much, much better. Here are some things that should really be changed in Windows:
Microsoft should really stop letting every random program put stuff into my home folder. This is my home folder. It's kind of like having visitors over to your home, but every visitor brings stuff along and puts it in your living room without asking. Note the insane amount of "dot" folders in my screenshot. This is a custom from *nix systems, but it's incredibly bad manners on the part of programs. Why not ask me where I want the data to be kept? Why must you put it in the same user-accessible folder that has My Pictures and My Documents in it, forcing me to wade through a river of clutter every time I want to get to my documents?
I can't expect every application maker to be considerate; I can expect Microsoft to come up with a workaround, like the Application Data folder (nice job there). But now MS needs to force the system to use that folder.
Or here's another one:
Why can't I uninstall stuff in bulk? My system is overloaded with applications I've installed at one time or another. To clean them up, I must uninstall each and every one individually. That would take hours, and it's extremely inefficient. Even uninstallers allowing "batch" uninstall just run the uninstallers serially, one after the other, requiring your intervention every step along the way.
Microsoft – find a better way for us to uninstall applications! I want to be able to go through a list, quickly check off the stuff I don't want anymore, and have it be gone for good.
What You Can Do
Okay, so now that we've seen how Windows is one of the major causes for this, what can you do to keep your system as clean as possible? Let's go over some of the tools and habits you can adopt.
PC Decrapifier
PC Decrapifier is a free tool that can bulk-remove a lot of the crap vendors pack on their PCs. If you bought a new laptop and booted it up only to discover loads of applications you didn't want, you need PC Decrapifier. Even if you've been using your PC for a while, you may still get some good use out of the app, because it is one of the only Windows tools that are truly capable of bulk-removing applications without much user intervention.
It only works with a limited set of installed applications (i.e, it can't remove everything), but for those apps, it's like magic. Check off what you don't want, click a button, and go have a cup of coffee. This is how uninstalling software should be.
Take Time To Uninstall
Yes, Windows' built-in software removal tools are clunky, outdated, badly designed, and generally painful to use. Even if you use something like Revo Uninstaller, it still takes time. Well, I am here to say: make that time. Clear out a block of your schedule, put on some tunes, grab a cup of coffee and go to town. Uninstall all of those applications and crud that gradually built up through your system. It will be annoying, but you'll thank yourself once you're done.
Create A Folder Graveyard
Remember all of those folders littering your home folder? You can't always delete them all, for the simple (and incredibly annoying) reason that you can't always tell what applications they belong to. A folder called ".gimp" is easy; if you've uninstalled GIMP, you know you can safely delete it. But what about something called .WebIde10? Where did that even come from? Or .kde – do I still have applications using the KDE toolkit?
If you're not sure, just create a folder called "Graveyard", and move those folders there. It won't free up any disk space, but it will unclutter your home folder. If you ever need them back, you know where to get them from.
Use a Virtual Machine
Sure, I could tell you something like "stop installing random applications". But a big part of the fun of using a computer is trying out new software. The trick is to find ways to enjoy that without cluttering up your system. For that, I strongly suggest installing free VM manager VirtualBox and setting up an instance of Windows to play with.
With VirtualBox, you can create snapshots and restore your VM to a previous state easily, so you can always have it in a pristine condition, ready to install and play with the latest and the greatest while keeping your "real" computer nice and clean. Heck, you can even use it to try out Windows 8!
Your Turn
What do you think? Is your computer completely cluttered up, or are you keeping ahead of the digital tsunami? Did I miss important ways to keep your computer clean? Enlighten me in the comments!

MAP have you much experience with this yourself? Ill have to check it out via a range test. I hope there won't be interference, it COULD happen tho you are correct. If i notice anything I'll cut throttle..Hopefully my Orange RX with its lil antenna hanging out will stay true!! Just ordered a satellite receiver from HK just for this plane!
is the problem from the carbon rod shielding it, physically has to be blocked?? the rod is so thin, does it create a wall...This is the first time i heard of it..GOOGLE here i come. and I usually take what most things i read with a grain of salt unless its known physics..hehe
Did the range test..had the GF hold the plane up and move and twist, I'm sure the neighbors wondered what the heck she was doing. I eventually found that at 50 paces I had good signal, every which way the plane faced. It was quite easy to tell when signal was lost as the OrangeRX lights up...orange. at 55 paces It would cut out sometimes, depending on the angle of the plane. at 60, It could only grab the signal, then lost it once the RX was blocked in any way. SO it so far, seems alright Wonder what the range will be with the satellite installed
We old farts jump the rails in the train of thought now and then.....wander off from the nursing home and such....
I bought a set of Gold N Rods today since the weather is bad this weekend. The outer sheath is larger diameter than the stock junk, but I will get them in one way or another. That binding is not good for the servos and probably has a negative effect on maintaining trim.

I followed Chuck's youtube tutorial on setting up the Radian Pro with the DX7 and I'm having a problem. When I activate the 3-way flap switch for camber and reflex, the flaps and ailerons move opposite from each other. There is only slight movement which I think is correct for camber/reflex, however the flaps and ailerons do not move in tandem. As the ailerons move"up" slightly, the flaps move "down" just a hair, and vice versa. Can anyone help on this?
PS I just PM'd this to Chuck, but I'm going flying in the morning and I was afraid he may not see it before then. No offense intended, Chuck!
Just to be clear, I've never had this problem myself, but remember that it is very difficult to determine what is the actual cause of signal loss anyway. I do know that an RF signal CAN be produced by two conductive materials being in contact vibrating or just picking up static from the atmosphere. This is generally more of a concern with glow or gas powered planes, since there is much more vibration, but it can happen with electrics and sailplanes, especially since this push rod will be sliding back and forth against the carbon. Push rods, clevises, and control horns can be made from metal or carbon, but you usually try to avoid putting any of those materials against each other because of this effect. For example, you try to go metal push rod - plastic clevis - metal control horn, or plastic push rod - metal clevis - plastic control horn, but not metal - metal - metal, or metal - metal - carbon, or anything like that if you can avoid it.
Also, carbon or metal will block a signal, but that's usually more of a problem for all carbon fuselages (those sailplane guys have to mount the receiver wires outside of the fuse) or if you have a ton of carbon reinforcement in the areas around your receiver. In this case, I wouldn't think that the carbon would have any greater of a blocking effect than the metal push rod itself, in other words very minimal.
Just keep in mind, guys, that the Radian Pro is a sailplane, and we're going to be flying it out far and up high and we want to do everything we can to make sure we have a solid radio connection at all times. While this RF-producing setup may not definitely cause a signal loss on it's own, it could contribute to a signal loss problem if there are any other factors present at any given time. For example: if you are flying really high or far away, AND you happen to be at an orientation where the metal push rod or battery or ESC or something else is directly in line between you and the receiver, AND you have something onboard that is producing an RF signal, it could all add up to a loss of signal. Why take the chance? Personally, I try to eliminate as many of the contributing factors as I can find before hand. Like I said, you may never have a problem.
Guys, i don't get angry or annoyed with what we all talk about here, after all thats why we are here to chat our shared hobby, (have you seen that Blade mCPX thread i started ) all i was suggesting is we keep on track and not go off on a tangent there are plenty of topics to cover every subject on R/C Groups
anyway back to the chat and flying, if only! the wind has been from 20-35kph all day here and all the past week too, i'm starting to hang out for a fly the sims just not doing it
cheers chuck
Cool Chuck,No i never seen your Thread on the New Blade. I was considering getting it.
Ill have too Swing by and Check it out!!!
Got the Goldn Rods in. Had to ream out the channel to make them flush to the fuselage.
There must be a bend in the channel where it dives under teh surface to go into the servo compartment. The inner rods slide like butter through the outer tube when installing them from the rear....until the last two inches. Then there is a little more resistance. It's much slippier than the wire rods, but not quite as smooth as I would like. Still, my servos will be much happier.

thanks Chuck....it turns out the wires were ok...I had to make the following adjustment that was opposite what your video had suggested:
Step 2, Setting up Flaps for Camber and Reflex
- contributed by "padair"
"On the rate, set position 0 to -50%
On the rate, set position 1 to -50%"
should read
"On the rate, set position 0 to +50%*
On the rate, set position 1 to +50%*"
This fixed the problem!
Thanks for your assistance, sir.
must be some reason, maybe if Mattfly looks in he can enlighten us
glad you got it sorted, happy flying tomorrow
cheers chuck
you can get most of the info thats relevant in the first post i did, then skip 280 pages as we got it here in Australia last week so the last 10 pages have actual info from people who "Own" the Blade mCPX

NEW YORK — Supermarkets with heavily unionized workforces may face tougher contract talks over the next few years as health care reforms are implemented, according to a report issued last week by Morgan Stanley here. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law March 23, calls for a 40% tax on so-called "Cadillac" health care plans, which offer higher-value benefits, the report said.

text: T32 Fellowship Training Grant "Pediatric Research: Bench to Bedside to Curbside" and Dean's Fellowship The program's primary focus is career development of outstanding pediatric subspecialists with M.D. or D.O. degrees dedicated to training in basic, clinical, or translational research. Applicants should be interested in advancing the understanding of developmental and childhood origins of chronic disease throughout the lifespan. Its specific aims are to: Provide fellows the opportunity to engage in high quality, interdisciplinary clinical, basic science, and/or healthcare systems research aimed at understanding developmental precursors of chronic disease; Support fellows in developing thinking skills and a knowledge base that will allow them to apply basic analytical principles to understanding developmental precursors of chronic disease; Foster fellows' academic careers by providing guidance and a framework necessary for them to conduct scientifically sound, ethical, and clinically relevant research in pediatrics and developmental human biology. This program is uniquely designed to prepare subspecialty fellows for careers in academic medicine that emphasize biomedical and biobehavioral research. The mentoring, career guidance, and research opportunities provided exceed the ABP requirement for scholarly activity for subspecialty board eligibility. T32 Fellows are allotted 80% protected research time and benefit from individualized research and career guidance by the internal Program Executive Committee and the external Program Advisory and Oversight Committees, in addition to their discipline-specific Scholarship Oversight Committees and research mentors. Dean's fellows can be foreign nationals and are allowed more clinical time than the T32 fellows. They follow the same reporting and presentation guidelines as the T32 fellows and receive the same mentoring and committee feedback. Eligibility / Selection Fellows who will have successfully completed one year of training in one of the following Pediatric Fellowship Programs by the following July are eligible to apply between January and March of their first fellowship year.
