If I build two 1500w heatsticks, will that be sufficient to boil 7 gallons for 5 gallon batches? What is the maximum amount that could boil with two 1500w heatsticks? I use a 10 gallon thick aluminum kettle.
It'll boil, I can maintain a weak boil on a 5gal batch with my single 2000w heatstick. For 3000W I'd guess around an hour to reach a boil. You can use this calculator to figure out how long it'll take to boil based on your water temp.
As for how much you can boil, I don't know for sure but at some point you'll just get tired of waiting for the boil to happen.
Thanks... I am currently using an SP-10 turkey fryer, and I like it, but I found out what a heatstick is and started thinking I would like to brew indoors.
I tried it once with my kettle when I ran out of propane mid blizzard (brewing in a blizzard was fun). I had them made to assist but they held the boil albeit very weak boil for my 90m.
I think one thing those calcs don't cover is the size of the pot. I have an 80qt stock pot/turkey fryer and it is wider than tallMy Pot...but I got it for $80
I think that wide surface area messes with boil times as I would think since there is more exposed to the cold air above it would take more oommph to boil the mix.
But I slept my way through HS Physics
This post has a spread sheet that will allow you to plug in your numbers and determine your heating and boiling times. I found it very helpful in deciding what I needed for my build, and it's good to know what to expect too. Good luck. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ok-i-give-174284/

MGSA coaches and players will be teaching PE on Thursday and Friday this week. Not just 1 class, but ALL the classes. We are so thankful for the opportunity and will be looking to show the kids just how amazing Gaelic games are. We'll be focusing on football for now and hopefully getting the Scots to go Irish for the day.
MGSA earns unique opportunity to present Gaelic sports at the MRPD conference in Portland
Thanks to the support of our friends at SOPO Recreation, we've been invited to be one of 3 presenters (along with football and pickleball) at the Maine Recreation & Park Director's conference in March 2015.
MGSA will present 3 sessions and have an information table with coaches ready to provide insight about how we can help create fun, accessible and sustainable Gaelic sports programs within the community Rec model. The Boston GAA and Munster Council has been on board with this effort for 2 years and the results have been very positive so far.
Thanks to them, as well as our friends at Tex-Tech who've provided us the financial stability to fund these efforts, we able to come to directly to the decision makers and offer these wonderful games with free instruction, certification tracks, and local and international support.
MGSA at the MAHPERD (love the acronyms)
Coach James from MGSA was a presenter and exhibitor at the Maine Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance 2014 conference at the Samoset Resort. This also corresponded with the biggest snowstorm Maine has seen in the last umpteen years. Our Sunday session was done without the benefit of lights, internet, and heat. Fun stuff and merely a challenge to overcome.
Despite that, we had some great fun and were able to enjoy a good day in the exhibition hall on Monday when power was restored to most of Rockland, ME. We came with a standing offer to provide free instruction and program maintenance to any public rec or school program that wanted to pilot Gaelic football. The GAA has made some equipment available and as always is offering a free Foundation course and referee training to interested parties. We had very constructive interactions with folks and look forward to touching base with several interested entities.
BLITZ and PRACTICE INFORMATION
PRACTICES are set for the next 3 Sundays: 9/7 9/14, and 9/21
Practice for 8/7 is cancelled. Stay tuned for upcoming dates.
After viewing our waterlogged fields and seeing that the weather is calling for 60% chance of showers with thunderstorms likely, we are cancelling for tonight.
With most kids starting their Fall sports, MGSA will be moving to our modified schedule until the 9/27 blitz. Dates need to be finalized with SOPO, but look for an email from your coaches in the next week.
This has been a really fun season, and we are going to have a great finish.
Coach James
Maine Gaelic Sports Alliance
The Mighty MGSA Gael Force represented well at the 2014 CYC's in NYC.
Jack, Ross, and Hunter played U16 football and hurling for Hartford GAA and came up short on the scoreboard, but big on the field with some great efforts against incredible competition. They were really the only hurlers on a football-heavy and very young team. We are so proud of the leadership and effort they displayed and for making themselves a part of Hartford's quality program.
Coach James assumed the field directions and strategy for the 2 hurling matches, and we nearly took out a strong New York squad while playing a hard-fought match against an always-disciplines Chicago team.
Maggie played for the U16 North American ladies football team and got serious playing time, finishing 4th in their division.
Frank and Greta played U12 football for Springfield and got their 1st taste of victory at CYC's but the very young squad, despite some close games against established clubs just missed the Sunday playoffs.
Frank also played U12 hurling for the new Ottowa squad, and they also made a great showing in really their 1st competition.
Ross's North American U16 Hurling squad nearly took down the mighty New York team in their only match, losing by 2 points. Ross played a magnificent game for a team that had only practiced together for 2 days.
MGSA Blitz to be postponed to Fall
ATTENTION: Due to the CYC's and the burden that puts on our partner clubs, we are looking to reschedule the July 19th blitz to September as the Fall Shamrock n'Roll Festival.
The good news: LONGER GAELIC SEASON (a short list of practice days will be sent soon, but nothing to overwhelm your schedules). We also hopes this provides some more days of involvement for the kids who got a late start this year.
We regret any inconvenience this causes. All we want is to provide quality games and this requires finding a dates when our friends from the rest of NE can make it up. The youth nationals start on 7/23 and many clubs have made significant time and financial commitments to this, including the 6 MGSA players heading down. We understand Fall sports will be in full swing but ours is a year-round program designed to meet the needs of ALL our partner families. You mean the world to us and we strive every day to provide you a quality experience.
NO PRACTICE THURSDAY JULY 3rd. HARTFORD TRIP JULY 12 UP NEXT. MGSA is hosting the New England Clubs July 19th.
Due to the holiday, enjoy some extra time with the kids at a lake, beach, BBQ or other awesome holiday destination.
We'll see you next week!
MGSA Board
SEASON KICK OFF PARTY NEXT THURSDAY AFTER A SHORT PRACTICE. St. Brendans Blitz on the horizon for June 21.
Practice is on for tonight, 6/12 but NEXT WEEK we are gonna get things going in style. After a short practice, we'll adjourn to CIA Cafe and hang out, watch some Gaelic on the big TV, and get everyone together for some good craic.
1st tournament is in Dorchester on June 21 and MGSA needs to be ready to play. Our combined U14/16 boys and girls will have both a hurling and football game with their friends from Hartford and Boston while our younger kids will be playing with Trinity, St. Brendan's, ISYL, and Springfield.

This is really good. The story I am working on is knd of like his but more mystical(like oz if you will) but I have a character kind of like victoria
lol, I liked the ending of the chapter, im still a bit confused as to why she doesn't speak but hopefully it will be explained soon.
tis book seems really interesting so far, im kind of confused though but it's still good, im defiantly going to read on.
I am trying so hard not to spaz out right now. But so far my attempts are useless.
This story reminds me of the movie "Speak" aka kristen stewarts bad acting.I wonder if it's the same story line?

We have sunk soooo farSubmitted by Ron Johnson on Tue, 11/16/2010 - 09:40
Below is a YouTube of We Are Change confronting Bush at a book signing:
In 1975 or 1976, Gerald Ford decided to announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination at his alma mater, the University of Michigan. I was there. Thousands of U of M students, Ann Arbor residents, and unknown activists filed into the basketball stadium on campus. Standing room only.
Ford approached the podium and all hell broke loose. I was sitting about 100 feet from the President, but I couldn't hear a word he was saying because of all the heckling. No one was ejected. Even when someone in the upper seats lit some firecrackers, no one was ejected.
Now hecklers are threatened with arrest and are physically removed from the presence of the king.
This is not America.

Off topic. Mr. Ron Johnson?
I know this is a bit off topic, but Ron, do you still live out on the mesa in NM? If you do, I'd like to talk, you can contact me at email@example.com.
Much appreciated.
if I felt it were the right thing to do in my circumstance--
I am sure I could hold a sign--
but I would probably lose my temper if I started to be grappled by a 'law enforcement' *person*--
I would be at great risk of assaulting an officer; I have never been good at submitting to physical force--
So, I really, really admire these people for doing as well as they do--
I had some thoughts, though:--
--is he capable of writing a book?
--how clueless are the people clapping and cheering?
--isn't his message a bit 'old'; I mean . . . why is he still rubbing in the same old nonsense?
I found the Bush talk all very annoying, to the point of losing my temper--
so I admire We Are Change--
they keep a lot cooler than I ever could--
I would love to just wipe that sneery little 'smile' off the officer's face when he says, "do you want to be charged?"--
*violent feelings being managed with difficulty*
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
You know they should have
some information they can give these cops and secret service that tells how they are protecting the elite who don't give to cents for them and will steal and leave them in the same mess as the rest of us. That the money for their pay comes from the people NOT the government.
Maybe, a leaflet with facts figures and web sites they can visit to learn more. It wouldn't hurt because they are just uninformed just like we were.
Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
While I admire their courage, they could have been better prepared. They just ended up looking like screaming nuts.
They should have told them "You want to investigate something, or someone"?
Investigate WTC 7 and Silverstein admitting that they gave the order to demolish the building.
Investigate how intelligence was ignored at the highest levels.
Investigate how no one was held accountable for the intel failures on that day.
Investigate the 100K that was supposedly wired to Atta, from Mahmud Ahmed, and how was Biden Involved?
Investigate why the Bin Laden's were the only ones allowed to fly out of the country when their was a total lockdown of air transportation.
Investigate why the FBI doesn't charge UBL with the crime of 9/11 on their top ten website, and how they admitted that they didn't have enough hard evidence.
Hand them a list of about 150 questions that have not been answered.
Hand them a list of the websites "patriotsquestion911" "ae911truth" etc.
It's not like they didn't expect to be confronted by the SS. If they DID think they were going to do something like this, and not be investigated, then they are foolish.
agree, but . . .
yes, they looked like 'screaming nuts'--
but above--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Go Blue!
Go Bucks!!
2 weeks til showtime.
that right...Michigan is
that right...Michigan is going down
"and the truth shall make you free"
John 8:32
this year.
What does
"Go Bucks" mean?
Is that a sports team or something?

Very helpful owner. They provided us a bigger room due to our kids. Free parking space. Nice and helpful advices from the owners wrt. city, dining etc.
good hotel with parking free
All things were very good, nothing negative, again at any time. It's a bit outside the old city but this isn't a problem, maybe a half an hour on foot. Or you can take the bus, the station is very close. Instead you have free parking and a garden.
Everything was great.
That we had to leave
Everyone was friendly. Beautiful place and location. Good food.
staff is friendly n helpful, good wifi, clean room
room was next to the road that u can hear traffic noise at late night
Free parking
Breakfasts were poor; Community area was small and air refresher used to disguise smell of 10 to 15 birds in nearby cage was overpowering; Definitely would not recommend
The ambience in the room was really nice, slept really well (one of the most comfort mattresses i have ever slept), very clean. Owners were very polite but did not speak English. However they gave us a map and started telling us where to go where to eat etc.. Breakfast was superb. Free and good wifi. Really enjoyed our stay!
Limitation in time of arrival (22:00), no English spoken from the owner (even though very polite, and tried really hard to explain)
Great location, very calm and nice surroundings. Clean room, good breakfast and secure free parking.
Perfect location, Nice staff with good recommendation, Enjoyable breakfast, traditional Toskany decoration
The road in front of the door is repairing, which makes us difficult to drive in and out.
Over great b&b. the hosts were gracious hospitable. Rooms were large and clean. Decent breakfast.
Location is not ideal. Hard to get a cab from the street (request from the hotel). Loud banging construction noise from 8am, didn't allow is to sleep in. (Chk with the hotel if construction is still on)
The female owner of this family hotel is a very very nice grandma. She cook the bread and coffee for me. let me feel warm and comfortable
The address is a little difficult to find both by taxi or self-drive. if you want to travel in firenze, you should rent a bike.
location, staff, breakfast, clean and big room
- Hostess and her mom were very friendly and helpful - just outside the city centre but good bus connection at short walking distance - good parking
It's a very pretty place and people who run this hotel are super helpful!
Comfort,parking,easy to get to centre of florence
Lovely people who could not be more helpful.
The staff was very helpful even though there was somewhat of a language barrier. The Villa was very nice.
Everything was great. Great rooms and very clean. Walking distance from the city center; nice walk in the evening.
The owner, Lisa, is very nice and accomodating. It was a pleasure talking with her...she made us feel at home. Besides the hotel is very close to motorway, and also to Firenze center. Bus stop just 5 minutes away.
Beautiful clean room, staff are very friendly. Walking distance to town. The picture doesn't do this B&B any justice. The grounds and gardens are beautiful.Secure off street parking which is perfect if you are driving
A very friendly place to stay. The owner Mrs. simona and her lovely mother were wonderful. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. I highly recommend this place.
Pleasant atmosphere, clean, quiet, spacious rooms, good breakfast, 10 minute bus ride from the city center, free parking, WIFI Excellent Recommended
Location ideal for visiting Firenza. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff helpful & friendly. Parking easy & safe.
A great place to stay. Great location with short bus ride into Venice. Once you enter the property you are in a country setting which is very pleasant in the middle of a busy city. The room was superb and the family staff were very welcoming and friendly. The free car parking was a bonus and the breakfast was superb.

Why we encounter corruption at every step in India?
Asked by Sanjay Joshi, 31 May '09 03:39 pm
Earn 10 points for answering
Answers (7)
The reason is very simple. Since most of us (including me and you) are corrupt, we encounter corruption at every step. My age is 71 + years and I hardly know any Indian, who has neither taken nor given bribe. I have not taken but in connection with my companys work, I have paid lacs and lacs to many people holding high official posts and supposed to be very religious, since many of them used to have sandalwood pasted on their foreheads. Similar corruption is also there amongst the followers of other religions of the subcontinent. Why people of our subcontinent is so corrupt, needs to analyzed; otherwise it will be difficult to overcome this weakness. I feel that it is due to the greed of money of the Brahmins. Since the time of Atharba Vedas, they started to make the rituals and social practices and customs more and more complicated and elaborate for enhancing their income. Ultimately, now we do regular business with God. After committing a sin, we go to Tirupati or Vaishno Devi templ ...moreAnswered by Sankar Mitra, 31 May '09 06:31 pm

Not intelligent enough? You wouldn't even begin to compare even on your finest day. I'm fucking genius material, redneck!
Anyways, thank you for the explanation of reading between the lines. It was very intelligent regardless of the fact that the correct spelling of common has an o, not an e, you fucking shit stain.
Your blatant disregard for real life has reared its ugly head once again – while I agree that hockey might not be as popular in the States as it is in Canada, our cousins to the south have as much knowledge of the sport as we do here in Canada. To wit, would you go toe to toe with, say our friend cwthrash about hockey? I think he's from the States and from what I read of his comments, he'd run circles around you in his sleep.
Anyways, as for as proving theories correct, believe what you need to help you sleep at night. Also, keep up with the redneck stereotypes about Americans not knowing anything about hockey, that really shows how well-rounded you really are.
Keep hitting it hard, buddy, expect when your boyfriend starts bleeding, then you gotta give him a break.

Albert played a fascinating part in history of Waterville, KS as well as of New Mexico. He was a druggist in Waterville and perhaps Marysville, KS from 1879 to at least the early 1900s, and owned a drug store in Las Vegas, NM in the 1880s. His brothers were William and Arthur, and sister Margaret "Maggie." He married Isabella Hall in 1885, and had two children, Emma O. Kunz and Henry L. Kunz. Any informaton on Albert, including family stories, photos, letters, etc. will be deeply appreciated.

Senate Rejects Blocking Military Commanders From Sexual Assault Cases2014-03-07, New York TimesPosted: 2014-03-17 08:17:05http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/us/politics/military-sexual-assault-legisla...
The Senate on [March 6] rejected a ... bill to remove military commanders from decisions over the prosecution of sexual assault cases in the armed forces, delivering a defeat to advocacy groups that argued that wholesale changes are necessary to combat an epidemic of rapes and sexual assaults in the military. The measure, pushed by Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Democrat of New York, received 55 votes — five short of the 60 votes needed. The vote came after a debate on the Senate floor filled with drama and accusations that Ms. Gillibrand and her allies were misguided. The debate pitted the Senate's 20 women against one another, and seemed bound to leave hard feelings, given that a solid majority of the Senate actually backed Ms. Gillibrand's proposal. Congress began scrutinizing the sexual assault problem in the military after a recent series of highly publicized cases, including one at the Naval Academy, and after the release of new data from the Pentagon on the issue. On Sept. 30, the end of the last fiscal year, about 1,600 sexual assault cases in the military were awaiting either action from commanders or the completion of criminal investigations. Critics of the military's handling of such cases say that the official numbers represent a tiny percentage of sexual assault cases, while Ms. Gillibrand said that only one in 10 sexual assaults were reported. She and her supporters argue that forcing victims to go to their commanders to report sexual assaults is similar to forcing a woman to tell her father that her brother has assaulted her.
Note: For more on sexual abuse scandals, see the deeply revealing reports from reliable major media sources available here.
Admiral: 'Destroy' photos of Osama bin Laden's corpse2014-02-12, USA Today/Associated PressPosted: 2014-02-16 16:25:08http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/02/12/osama-bin-laden-photo-cor...
Less than two weeks after the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, a top Pentagon official ordered all photos of bin Laden's corpse be destroyed or turned over to the CIA. In an e-mail dated May 13, 2011, Adm. William McRaven, the U.S. Special Operations commander, wrote: "One particular item that I want to emphasize is photos; particularly UBLs remains. At this point — all photos should have been turned over to the CIA; if you still have them destroy them immediately or get them to the (redacted)." Shortly after the raid in Pakistan, President Obama said he would not authorize the release of any images of the al-Qaeda leader's body. Days before the order to destroy the photos, watchdog group Judicial Watch and the Associated Press had separately filed a Freedom of Information Act request for photos, videos and documents regarding bin Laden during the raid. Typically, when a Freedom of Information Act request is filed to a government agency under the Federal Records Act, the agency is obliged to preserve the material sought — even if the agency later denies the request.
Note: Why would a top military commander order all photos of bin Laden's dead body destroyed? Why would Obama prevent the release of any images of the body? For powerful evidence that the dead body was not, in fact, bin Laden's, click here and here.

What Nazis Taught the CIA2014-02-11, Yahoo! News/Daily BeastPosted: 2014-02-16 16:21:13http://news.yahoo.com/nazis-taught-cia-104500320--politics.html
In the years after the end of WWII, CIA and US intelligence operatives tested LSD and other interrogation techniques on captured Soviet spies—all with the help of former Nazi doctors. It was 1946. The Joint Chiefs of Staff were preparing for 'total war' with the Soviets. They even set an estimated start date of 1952. U.S. military officers had been capturing and then hiring Hitler's weapons makers in a Top Secret program that would become known as Operation Paperclip. Soon, more than 1,600 of these men and their families would be living the American dream, right here in the United States. In 1948, Operation Paperclip's Brigadier General Charles E. Loucks ... was working with Hitler's former chemists when one of the scientists [shared] information about a drug with military potential ... LSD. Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal that the U.S. developed its post-war enhanced interrogation techniques ... under the CIA code name Operation Bluebird. The CIA teamed up with the Army Chemical Corps at Camp Detrick, in Maryland, to conduct further research and development on the chemistry of mind-altering drugs. One [Detrick agent was] Dr. Frank Olson, a former army officer and bacteriologist turned agency operative whose sudden demise—by covert LSD poisoning—in 1953 would nearly bring down the CIA. In one of the rare, surviving official documents from the program, Deputy Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles sent a secret memo to Richard Helms: "In our conversation of 9 February 1951, I outlined to you the possibilities of augmenting the usual interrogation methods by the use of drugs, hypnosis, shock, etc., and emphasized the defensive aspects as well as the offensive opportunities."

The NSA's Secret Role in the U.S. Assassination Program2014-02-10, The Intercept (With Glenn Greenwald)Posted: 2014-02-16 16:07:45https://firstlook.org/theintercept/article/2014/02/10/the-nsas-secret-role/
The National Security Agency is using complex analysis of electronic surveillance, rather than human intelligence, as the primary method to locate targets for lethal drone strikes – an unreliable tactic that results in the deaths of innocent or unidentified people. According to a former drone operator for the military's Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) who also worked with the NSA, the agency often identifies targets based on controversial metadata analysis and cell-phone tracking technologies. Rather than confirming a target's identity with operatives or informants on the ground, the CIA or the U.S. military then orders a strike based on the activity and location of the mobile phone. The former JSOC drone operator ... states that innocent people have "absolutely" been killed as a result. Some top Taliban leaders, knowing of the NSA's targeting method, have purposely and randomly distributed SIM cards among their units in order to elude their trackers. As a result, even when the agency correctly identifies and targets a SIM card belonging to a terror suspect, the phone may actually be carried by someone else, who is then killed in a strike. The Obama administration has repeatedly insisted that its operations kill terrorists with the utmost precision. Within the NSA ... a motto quickly caught on at Geo Cell: 'We Track 'Em, You Whack 'Em.'" In December 2009, utilizing the NSA's metadata collection programs, the Obama administration dramatically escalated U.S. drone and cruise missile strikes in Yemen. The first strike in the country known to be authorized by Obama targeted an alleged Al Qaeda camp in the southern village of al-Majala. The strike, which included the use of cluster bombs, resulted in the deaths of 14 women and 21 children.

Cheating Alleged in US Nuclear Missile Force2014-01-16, ABC News/Associated PressPosted: 2014-01-20 10:43:39http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/air-force-34-missile-officers-cheati...
In what may be the biggest such scandal in Air Force history, 34 officers entrusted with land-based nuclear missiles have been pulled off the job for alleged involvement in a cheating ring that officials say was uncovered during a drug probe. The 34 are suspected of cheating several months ago on a routine proficiency test that includes checking missile launch officers' knowledge of how to handle an "emergency war order," which is the term for the authorization required to launch a nuclear weapon. The cheating scandal is the latest in a series of Air Force nuclear stumbles ... including deliberate violations of safety rules, failures of inspections, breakdowns in training and evidence that the men and women who operate the missiles from underground command posts are suffering burnout. In October the general who commands the nuclear missile force was fired for engaging in embarrassing behavior, including drunkenness, while leading a U.S. delegation to a nuclear exercise in Russia. The AP disclosed in May an internal Air Force email in which a missile operations officer complained that his force was infested with "rot" — bad attitudes and disregard for discipline. The Air Force's nuclear mission includes operation of 450 Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles. The Malmstrom unit failed a nuclear safety and security inspection in August but succeeded on a redo in October.
Note: Some are speculating about a purge of high-level U.S. military officers. For evidence of this, click here. And is it just a coincidence that the Malmstrom unit is mentioned?

I worked on the US drone program. The public should know what really goes on2013-12-29, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2014-01-06 16:10:40http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/29/drones-us-military
Whenever I read comments by politicians defending the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Predator and Reaper program – aka drones – I wish I could ask them a few questions. I'd start with: "How many women and children have you seen incinerated by a Hellfire missile?" Few of these politicians who so brazenly proclaim the benefits of drones have a real clue of what actually goes on. I, on the other hand, have seen these awful sights first hand. What the public needs to understand is that the video provided by a drone is not usually clear enough to detect someone carrying a weapon, even on a crystal-clear day. This makes it incredibly difficult for the best analysts to identify if someone has weapons for sure. One example comes to mind: "The feed is so pixelated, what if it's a shovel, and not a weapon?" I felt this confusion constantly, as did my fellow UAV analysts. We always wonder if ... we destroyed an innocent civilian's life all because of a bad image or angle. I know the feeling you experience when you see someone die. Horrifying barely covers it. When you are exposed to it over and over again it becomes like a small video, embedded in your head, forever on repeat, causing psychological pain and suffering. UAV troops are victim to not only the haunting memories of this work that they carry with them, but also the guilt of always being a little unsure of how accurate their confirmations of weapons or identification of hostile individuals were. The UAVs in the Middle East are used as a weapon, not as protection, and as long as our public remains ignorant to this, this serious threat to the sanctity of human life – at home and abroad – will continue.

Environmental groups sue over Navy sonar plans2013-12-16, Fox News/Associated PressPosted: 2013-12-23 16:12:16http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/16/environmental-groups-sue-navy-over-sonar...
Environmental organizations filed a lawsuit [on December 16] against the National Marine Fisheries Service to demand it force the Navy to consider alternatives to its five-year plan that will intensify its sonar use off Southern California and Hawaii. Earthjustice, representing several groups, filed the lawsuit ... only hours after the federal agency announced it had decided to grant the Navy permits to move ahead with its plans for training and testing in the Pacific. Environmentalists [favor] creating zones that would be off-limits to biologically sensitive areas [and] want the Navy to avoid training in certain spots seasonally when they are rich in marine life.
"The science is clear: sonar and live-fire training in the ocean harms marine mammals," said Marsha Green of Ocean Mammal Institute. "There are safer ways to conduct Navy exercises that include time and place restrictions to avoid areas known to be vital for marine mammals' feeding, breeding and resting." Reported mass strandings of beaked whales have increased around the world since the military started using sonar more than half a century ago. The sounds can scare animals into shallow waters where they can become disoriented and wash ashore. Aside from beachings, biologists are concerned about prolonged stress from changes in diving, feeding and communication habits. Two recent studies off the Southern California coast found certain endangered blue whales and beaked whales stopped feeding and fled from recordings of noise similar to military sonar. Beaked whales are highly sensitive to sound and account for the majority of strandings near military exercises.
Note: Consider that naval sonar doesn't "scare" marine mammals, but rather drives them insane with the intensity of noise. Imagine a huge siren right next to your ears. You would certainly flee to try to get away. This is likely what is causing many of the whale and dolphin strandings. Studies have found stranded animals to have perforated ear drums, as you can read in this NBC News article. How much sound does it take to perforate an ear drum?

US sued over Navy sonar tests in whale waters2012-01-26, NBC NewsPosted: 2013-12-23 16:11:07http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/01/26/10244852-us-sued-over-navy-sonar-t...
Environmental groups sued the Obama administration ... for granting the Navy permits to test underwater sonar along the West Coast -- and potentially harass up to 650,000 porpoises, seals, dolphins and whales over a five-year period. The alliance said it wasn't seeking to stop the testing but to scale it back, especially at certain times and in waters important for feeding and giving birth.
Several studies have found that marine mammals can hear low-frequency sonar, which is magnified under water, and periodically dolphins and even whales have been found with perforated ear drums. The National Marine Fisheries Service "fell down on the job and failed to require the Navy to take reasonable and effective actions to protect" marine mammals, Steve Mashuda, an attorney for the law firm Earthjustice, said. The lawsuit ... claims that the Navy's sonar use might be strong enough to kill the animals outright. But even if it doesn't, it claims, the repeated use of sonar in certain critical habitats is unwarranted. In 2010, the fisheries service approved the Navy's five-year plan for operations in the Northwest Training Range Complex, an area roughly the size of California that stretches from Washington state to Northern California. Under the five-year plan, the service said it was acceptable for the Navy to incur up to 650,000 cases of harassment of marine mammals.
Note: Sonar can drive drive marine mammals insane with the intensity of noise. Imagine a huge siren right next to your ears. You would certainly flee to try to get away. This is likely what is causing many of the whale and dolphin strandings. How much sound does it take to perforate an ear drum, as is mentioned in this article?

CIA turned some Guantanamo Bay prisoners into double agents against al-Qaeda2013-11-26, Washington Post/Associated PressPosted: 2013-12-02 09:46:51http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/cia-turned-some-guantan...
In the early years after Sept. 11, 2001, the CIA turned some Guantanamo Bay prisoners into double agents, sending them home to help the United States kill terrorists, current and former U.S. officials said. The CIA promised the prisoners freedom, safety for their families and millions of dollars from the agency's secret accounts. It was a gamble. Officials knew there was a chance that some prisoners might quickly spurn their deal and kill Americans. Nearly a dozen current and former U.S. officials described aspects of the program to the Associated Press. Dozens of prisoners were evaluated, but only a handful, from a variety of countries, were turned into spies who signed agreements to work for the CIA. Prisoners agreed to cooperate for a variety of reasons, officials said. Some received assurances that the United States would resettle their families. Another agreed to cooperate after the agency insinuated that it would harm his children, a former official said, a threat similar to those interrogators made to self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. All were promised money. Exactly how much each received remains unclear. But altogether, the government paid millions for their services, officials said. The money came from a secret CIA account, code-named Pledge, that is used to pay informants, officials said. Officials said the program ended in 2006 as the flow of detainees to Guantanamo Bay slowed to a trickle. The last prisoner arrived there in 2008.
Note: There is no doubt that the CIA used mind control techniques to control and likely program some of the prisoners.

Behind the Pentagon's doctored ledgers, a running tally of epic waste2013-11-18, CNBC/ReutersPosted: 2013-11-26 08:17:18http://www.cnbc.com/id/101206230
Linda Woodford spent the last 15 years of her career inserting phony numbers in the U.S. Department of Defense's accounts. Woodford and her fellow [accountants] set about preparing monthly reports to square the Navy's books with the U.S. Treasury's. And every month ... numbers were missing. Numbers were clearly wrong. Woodford and her colleagues were told by superiors to ... enter false numbers, commonly called "plugs," to make the Navy's totals match the Treasury's. Fudging the accounts with false entries is standard operating procedure. Former military service officials say record-keeping at the operational level throughout the services is rife with made-up numbers to cover lost or missing information. Plugs also are symptomatic of one very large problem: the Pentagon's chronic failure to keep track of its money—how much it has, how much it pays out and how much is wasted or stolen. The Defense Department's 2012 budget totaled $565.8 billion, more than the annual defense budgets of the 10 next largest military spenders combined, including Russia and China. How much of that money is spent as intended is impossible to determine. The Pentagon is largely incapable of keeping track of its vast stores of weapons, ammunition and other supplies. It has amassed a backlog of more than half a trillion dollars in unaudited contracts with outside vendors. [It] also has systematically ignored warnings about its accounting practices. The Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with a law that requires annual audits of all government departments. That means that the $8.5 trillion in taxpayer money doled out by Congress to the Pentagon since 1996 ... has never been accounted for. That sum exceeds the value of China's economic output last year. A single [military accounting] office in Columbus, Ohio, made at least $1.59 trillion - yes, trillion - in errors, including $538 billion in plugs.
Note: This article sadly fails to state the obvious: Many military officers illegally rake in tons of money with false contracts which benefit those officers and contracting companies. They obviously don't want their accounts to be properly audited. For a revealing essay by a top U.S. general exposing major war manipulations, click here.

Today is Guantánamo's 12th anniversary, and there's no end in sight2013-11-13, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-11-18 08:26:35http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/13/guantanamo-still-open-12...
Twelve years ago, on 13 November 2001, President George W Bush signed an order authorizing the detention of suspected al-Qaida members and supporters, and the creation of military commissions. A total of seven detainees out of the 779 men ever held at Guantánamo have been convicted and sentenced. Five of the seven are no longer at Guantánamo creating a paradox: you have to lose to win. Those lucky enough to get charged and convicted of a war crime have good odds of getting out of Guantánamo, but those who are never charged could spend the rest of their lives in prison. Since nearly all of the men held at Guantánamo have been there since long before 2006 and most were at best low-level flunkies, the government's inability to charge them with providing material support for terrorism means they likely will never face a military commission for a trial that might have enabled them to find a way out of Guantánamo. In September 2006, 14 high-value detainees held in CIA black sites were transferred to military custody at Guantánamo. Only one has been tried and convicted. The law that has evolved from Guantánamo has been a black eye for the country: from the Supreme Court ruling that President Bush's military commissions were illegal to the Washington DC circuit ruling [that] all of the men convicted in military commissions were charged with an offense that was not a legitimate war crime. America's enemies and allies alike, in their criticism of US war on terrorism practices, cite Guantánamo as an example of failed leadership.

Arizona Air National Guard swept up in fraud scam2013-10-21, CBS News/Associated PressPosted: 2013-11-05 08:41:09http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57608534/arizona-air-national-guard-swept...
Nearly two dozen current and former members of the Arizona Air National Guard responsible for remotely operating drones to support troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have been indicted on charges including theft and money laundering in a $1.4 million scam to defraud the federal government. The eight officers and 13 enlisted men and women, including the colonel and former commander of the 214 Reconnaissance Group, falsified their records and used fake home addresses in order to receive money meant for those traveling outside of their home regions for duty assignments, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said. Between November 2007 and September 2010, authorities said some of the defendants took home salaries that were up to five times the amount they should have been receiving. Some of the suspects defrauded the government of more than $100,000 each, Horne said. "In this case, all of these people lived in Tucson and put down fraudulent homes of record in other states" to qualify for the extra pay, Horne added. The suspects worked out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson and were part of an elite military unit tasked with flying drones over Iraq and Afghanistan aimed at providing vital information to troops on the ground. The charges include conspiracy, conducting an illegal enterprise, fraud, theft and money laundering. Authorities said, if convicted, some of the defendants could be sentenced to up to 12.5 years in prison with the commander facing more serious charges for using his position of power to help facilitate the scam.
Documents reveal NSA's extensive involvement in targeted killing program2013-10-16, Washington PostPosted: 2013-10-22 10:29:16http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/documents-reveal-nsas-e...
It was an innocuous e-mail, one of millions sent every day by spouses with updates on the situation at home. But this one was of particular interest to the National Security Agency and contained clues that put the sender's husband in the crosshairs of a CIA drone. Days later, Hassan Ghul ... was killed by a drone strike in Pakistan's tribal belt. Documents provided ... by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden confirm his demise in October 2012 and reveal the agency's extensive involvement in the targeted killing program that has served as a centerpiece of President Obama's counterterrorism strategy. The documents provide the most detailed account of the intricate collaboration between the CIA and the NSA in the drone campaign. [The] collection of records in the Snowden trove [make] clear that the drone campaign — often depicted as the CIA's exclusive domain — relies heavily on the NSA's ability to vacuum up enormous quantities of e-mail, phone calls and other fragments of signals intelligence, or SIGINT. To handle the expanding workload, the NSA created a secret unit known as the Counter-Terrorism Mission Aligned Cell, or CT MAC, to concentrate the agency's vast resources on hard-to-find [targets]. Former CIA officials said the files are an accurate reflection of the NSA's contribution to finding targets in a campaign that has killed more than 3,000 people [in] Pakistan.

Pentagon unit held 'phony' ceremonies for MIAs, using planes that can't fly2013-10-10, NBC NewsPosted: 2013-10-22 10:25:12http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/10/20889368-pentagon-unit-hel...
A unit of the U.S. Department of Defense has been holding so-called "arrival ceremonies" for seven years, with an honor guard carrying flag-draped coffins off of a cargo plane as though they held the remains of missing American service men and women returning that day from old battlefields. After NBC News raised questions about the arrival ceremonies, the Pentagon acknowledged Wednesday that no honored dead were in fact arriving, and that the planes used in the ceremonies often couldn't even fly but were towed into position. The ceremonies have been attended by veterans and families of MIAs, led to believe that they were witnessing the return of Americans killed in World War II, Vietnam and Korea. The ceremonies also have been known, at least among some of the military and civilian staff here, as The Big Lie. Photos behind the scenes show that the flag-draped boxes had not just arrived on military planes. The Pentagon insisted that the flag-draped cases do contain human remains recently recovered, just not ones that arrived that day. The Pentagon statement did not explain why the rituals were called "arrival ceremonies" if no one was arriving, or why the public had been told that remains removed that morning from the lab were about to go to the lab to "begin the identification process."

Neuro-enhancement in the military: far-fetched or an inevitable future?2013-10-07, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-10-15 10:48:17http://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2013/oct/07/neuroscience-psy...
Brain stimulation research has moved far and fast. Different forms of neurostimulation in humans have now been shown to boost our ability to learn and perform motor actions, to pay attention to events in the environment, to recall information in memory, and to exercise self-control. [Brain stimulation] techniques and their applications hold great promise for understanding the machinery of human mental processes, with hope for treating patients suffering from brain injury and disease. Except that ... anything that can boost or rehabilitate human abilities could also be exploited for military or security purposes, as well as by questionable private enterprises. Predictably, some of the major innovations in brain stimulation research are being funded by the US military. What army wouldn't take advantage of a method that could make soldiers more alert, faster to react, faster to learn, less likely to binge-drink off duty, and more compliant with authority? What intelligence agency wouldn't embrace a technology that could help their operatives become better liars, or which limits the ability of prisoners to lie under interrogation? Applications like these, in turn, raise ethical questions. Would a soldier be able to refuse brain stimulation, and if not, wouldn't that violate the principle of consent underlying 'medical' interventions? Going deeper we might ask whether it is ethical for neuroscientists and psychologists to collaborate with organisations whose ultimate research objective is to develop more efficient ways of killing people.

The inside story of how a band of reformers tried – and failed – to change America's spy agencies2004-07-25, US News & World ReportPosted: 2013-10-15 10:39:14http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/040802/2intell.htm
Twice each week, a top-secret report with distinctive red stripes lands on the desks of select policymakers in Washington. Called the "Red Cell," it is the work of a CIA unit by the same name, set up after the 9/11 attacks. "Some of it is really wacky, even scary," says an insider. "Like bombing Iran." The "Red Cell," in a very real sense, is emblematic of the trouble the U.S. intelligence community finds itself in today. Created in 1947, the U.S. intelligence community has grown enormously in terms of bodies and dollars but also in the number and complexity of its responsibilities. It has also, for many reasons, grown into a mess. After 9/11, Americans had good reason to assume the nation's intelligence capabilities were being improved. But then came the Iraq war and the subsequent revelations that the CIA's "slam dunk" intelligence on Saddam Hussein's stockpiles of banned weapons was a complete air ball, a casualty of badly forged documents, eager exiles with outlandish stories, and analysis that, in the most charitable sense, could be described as flawed. The Senate Intelligence Committee's 511-page Iraq report documents how on the country's weightiest issue – whether to launch a pre-emptive war – the U.S. intelligence community ended up wrong on virtually every critical point. "In short," laments Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the intelligence panel's ranking Democrat, "we went to war in Iraq based on false claims." When Harry Truman signed into law the National Security Act of 1947, creating the CIA, he wanted precisely what the name implied: a central agency for intelligence. "The CIA was set up by me for the sole purpose of getting all the available information to the president," Truman wrote. "It was not intended to operate as an international agency engaged in strange activities." Within months, of course, Truman himself was ordering the CIA to engage in "strange activities," such as staving off a Communist takeover in Italy.

Seymour Hersh on Obama, NSA and the 'pathetic' American media2013-09-27, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-10-01 10:17:02http://www.theguardian.com/media/media-blog/2013/sep/27/seymour-hersh-obama-n...
[Seymour] Hersh, the investigative journalist who has been the nemesis of US presidents since the 1960s and who was once described by the Republican party as "the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist", ... is angry about the timidity of journalists in America, their failure to challenge the White House and be an unpopular messenger of truth. Don't even get him started on the ... death of Osama bin Laden. "Nothing's been done about that story, it's one big lie, not one word of it is true," he says of the dramatic US Navy Seals raid in 2011. Hersh is writing a book about national security and has devoted a chapter to the bin Laden killing. He says a recent report put out by an "independent" Pakistani commission about life in the Abottabad compound in which Bin Laden was holed up would not stand up to scrutiny. "The Pakistanis put out a report, don't get me going on it. Let's put it this way, it was done with considerable American input. It's a bullshit report," he says hinting of revelations to come in his book. The Obama administration lies systematically, he claims, yet none of the leviathans of American media, the TV networks or big print titles, challenge him. He is certain that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden "changed the whole nature of the debate" about surveillance. "But I don't know if it's going to mean anything in the long [run] because the polls I see in America – the president can still say to voters 'al-Qaida, al-Qaida' and the public will vote two to one for this kind of surveillance, which is so idiotic," he says.

Iraq records huge rise in birth defects2012-10-14, The Independent (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-09-24 10:16:23http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/iraq-...
It played unwilling host to one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq war. Fallujah's ... residents changed the name of their "City of Mosques" to "the polluted city" after the United States launched two massive military campaigns eight years ago. A new study reports a "staggering rise" in birth defects among Iraqi children conceived in the aftermath of the war. High rates of miscarriage, toxic levels of lead and mercury contamination and spiralling numbers of birth defects ranging from congenital heart defects to brain dysfunctions and malformed limbs have been recorded. There is "compelling evidence" to link the increased numbers of defects and miscarriages to military assaults, says Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, one of the lead authors of the report and an environmental toxicologist at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health. US marines first bombarded Fallujah in April 2004. Seven months later, the marines stormed the city for a second time, using some of the heaviest US air strikes deployed in Iraq. American forces later admitted that they had used white phosphorus shells, although they never admitted to using depleted uranium, which has been linked to high rates of cancer and birth defects. The new findings, published in the [Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology], will bolster claims that US and Nato munitions used in the conflict led to a widespread health crisis in Iraq. The latest study found that in Fallujah, more than half of all babies surveyed were born with a birth defect between 2007 and 2010. Before the siege, this figure was more like one in 10. Prior to the turn of the millennium, fewer than 2 per cent of babies were born with a defect.
Note: Similar defects have been found among children born in Basra after British troops invaded, according to the report at the link above.

This is how to deal with armed forces' brutality2013-06-09, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-09-24 10:14:31http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jun/09/armed-forces-brutality-i...
Baha Mousa was tortured to death in September 2003 while in the custody of the British armed forces in Iraq. The subsequent inquiry led to a report, published in September 2011, that leaves no doubt about the ... brutal illegality of the UK's current approach to the detention and interrogation of suspected insurgents. The training of interrogators used in Iraq involved blatant illegality: forced nakedness, screaming foul abuse into detainees' faces, sensory deprivation and [other forms of torture]. The list of unlawful killings is endless. And there are hundreds of Iraqis' cases before British courts in which allegations are made of egregious acts of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. A high court judgment in late May ... involves more than 1,000 Iraqi cases of unlawful killings and acts of torture. It establishes that whenever UK personnel abroad have authority and control over others – and commit what might be acts of unlawful killing and torture – there must be an "inquisitorial process" in public into each case. There must also be public scrutiny of the systemic issues arising from these cases. Take, for example, the case of Huda, an eight-year-old girl in a yellow dress playing with her friends one sunlit morning in Basra. A British rifleman in a tank, apparently perceiving her to be a threat to force security, shot her dead without warning at close range. Before this new judgment, the Ministry of Defence successfully shut the door on any accountability. Under the new system, the commanding officer would have to suspend the soldier and send in the military police to forensically examine the scene, interview witnesses and family, and send the results of a full investigation back to London to be examined independently and publicly.

Programmed to act2013-09-06, San Francisco Chronicle (SF's leading newspaper)Posted: 2013-09-16 16:38:09http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/article/Programmed-to-act-4793122.php
Over decades and diverse administrations, justifications for the use of force - limited and full scale - have constantly revolved around weapons of mass destruction. Protection against them, real and imaginary, has served [as] justification for government excess and a curtailment of our freedoms. We stop everything because it is WMD and we fret about the consequences of both action and inaction because it is WMD. We do so because of a little known and little understood entity that truly drives American national security practices: It's called the Program. Founded in the darkest days of nuclear threat during the Eisenhower administration, the Program began as a limited system given responsibility for survival of the government. The nuclear arms race ended, but the Program never completely went away. And since 9/11, like everything else about national security, its mission and focus have expanded. The Program exists through a system of sealed envelopes - four dozen formal Presidential Emergency Action Documents more secret than anything that has been revealed about the National Security Agency of late, arrangements that instruct a surviving entity of what to do if a nation-destroying calamity befalls Washington or the United States. Because Doomsday is now thought by the experts in government to be any day, and because the potential battlefield is anyplace and every place, the work of the Program, and its power, have dramatically expanded.
