NATO: Afghan insurgents attack coalition base Idaho Press-Tribune - 2 days ago
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan officials say a bomb has exploded at a U.S.-led coalition base outside of Khost, the ... You Report News ... The Taliban have responded by opening up new fronts in the north and west and stepping up attacks in the east, where much of the heaviest fighting is presently concentrated.
MY Edit: And what 'Heavy Fighting' is that? I ain't heard no stinkin' reports of heavy fighting? How are we supposed to Support Our Troops if we don';t know what we're supporting?
"It was a very strong blast. Khost city shook and we heard firing," Zazai said. Gula Jan, an Afghan police official who was at the scene, said the attack occurred at Camp Salerno.
Jan said six civilians – three women and three children – were slightly wounded when a wall collapsed from the force of the explosion.
My Edit: Please...at the gates of Camp Sa;erno are nothing but Day Care Centerts?....LMFAO
NATO (whoever they are. Noting absolutely ZERO named officials ever comment for the record.....;}
said it had no reports of any civilians being hurt during the attack.
Lulzzzzz....;}
"The blast was inside the compound and then we heard firing," Jan said. "There is a helicopter flying over the base."
But again, No one but Taliban were killed. And Just took 14 shots to kill all 14....;}
U.S. Army Maj. Paul Haverstick, a spokesman for the coalition in eastern Afghanistan, said no Afghan or foreign troops were killed and only a few coalition forces suffered minor injuries.
So Paul knows....at least we have a name... Haverstick said insurgents detonated a truck loaded with explosives at the entrance to the camp. The explosion allowed other insurgents to enter the compound. Two militants wearing explosive vests blew themselves up prematurely and caused no damage.
My Edit: So the insurgents are inside the base now, but since there was no one at the entrance except for a Day Care Center, no one got hurt, as the Insurgents tripped over each other in their haste to get to an actuall target inside Camp Salerno.....;}
Afghan and coalition forces fired at the group of insurgents. A total of 14 militants died in the attack, he said. Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, claimed that a suicide bomber targeted the base in an explosives-filled vehicle that slipped onto the compound near where coalition troops dine. He said in a statement that after the blast, other insurgents entered the compound on foot and opened fire.
"They had suicide vests, rocket-propelled grenades, heavy machine guns and hand grenades," Mujahid said. Mujahid claimed that an airplane on an airstrip at the base was destroyed and that "tens" of foreign forces were killed and wounded. The Taliban often exaggerate the number of casualties caused by their attacks. NATO said no airplane was destroyed during the attack. Forward Operating Base Salerno has a large Soviet-built airfield.
It is near Camp Chapman, where seven CIA employees were killed in a suicide attack in December 2009. Salerno and its outlying fire bases have been the focus of repeated militant suicide, artillery and sniper attacks over the past several years. One of the most brazen of the war occurred in August, 2008, when about 100 Taliban fighters broke through the perimeter of the base.
After a two-hour fire fight, helicopter gunships forced the guerrillas to retreat. On May 19, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a police checkpoint in Ali Sher district of Khost province, killing 13 people – 10 civilians, two Afghan policemen and an Afghan border police officer.
''Australia taking on the leadership now … puts us in a better position to manage the transition process,'' Mr Smith said.
He said the security situation in the province had improved substantially over the past two years.
During the past month, General Hurley said, a small team had been conducting an audit of equipment to determine what will come home and what will stay in Oruzgan.
The Defence Force chief, General David Hurley, said the change would make it easier to transfer responsibility to Afghan forces and prepare the withdrawal of Australian troops and equipment over the next 12 to 18 months.
''What this decision does is put us in the driving seat to control the interaction with those processes over the next year or so,'' General Hurley said. ''This is a major operational phase.
''For our forces outside the wire in Oruzgan it will make no difference at all.''
So in a month the Ozzies will then transfer their Leadership role to the Afghans after they just got their Leadership role from the USSA this week.
Which just took over from the Dutch who just left last week.....
I got that right?......90+% of Amerika is clueless as to the SNAFU in the Afghans.
Just imagine that Morgan Stanley is our Domestic Equivalent and that the Facebook fiasco is Camp Salerno.
You'll be right up to speed.....8D
The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, announced on May 13 that the province would begin the transition to Afghan-led security responsibility in the middle of this year.
There is, as usual, no indication that these media outlets have any idea whatsoever about who was killed in these strikes. All they know is that "officials" (whether American or Pakistani) told them that they were "militants," so they blindly repeat that as fact. They "report" this not only without having the slightest idea whether it’s true, but worse, with the full knowledge that the word "militant" is being aggressively distorted by deceitful U.S. government propaganda that defines the term to mean: any "military-age males" whom we kill (the use of the phrase "suspected militants" in the body of the article suffers the same infirmity).
How is it possible to have any informed democratic debate over a policy about which the U.S. media relentlessly propagandizes this way?
Thursday, May 31, 2012 Assange and the crooked British judges
"Julian Assange loses extradition case – live coverage" This is completely fucking outrageous, and everybody should be up in arms.
First, the majority of the court substituted its own argument for those made by the prosecutor - proving that they rejected all the prosecutor's arguments for extradition - an argument that was never argued in court, thus depriving Assange any chance to refute it. Secondly, they then tried a dirty trick by attempting to hide this substituted argument from Assange's counsel until it was too late.
They knew their methods of railroading Assange were dirty, and it was only the diligence of Assange's lawyer that brought this atrocity into the open in time, forcing the judges to give Assange another kick at the can. These judges of the majority are obviously utterly corrupt, and the only chance for justice in this matter will be in Strasbourg.

If “consumers” aren’t driving.....they aren't spending.
$82 handle on oil now.
Nothing's changed since Friday.
Forbes only last week wrote this in relation to what Obama should do about Spain:
“An American President would know how to say to Angela Merkel – if you do not compromise, if you do not resolve this, then we will begin sidelining your companies from our high speed rail projects; we will make it tough for you to sell luxury cars; we will review procurement procedures to eliminate your companies from our public tenders. We will not relent until you do.”
There is no way the electioneering Obama could be seen to be weak on euro-contagion, and so he has acted. Good for his campaign, bad for the Pentagon and the oil business who had other plans for Greece…and if the truth be known, still do.
As always with Berlin, however, there’s a catch: the Chancellery signalled that it may be open to euro-zone bonds or further support for the region’s banking sector, but that would depend on other countries agreeing to transfer more power to Brussels."
The world is waiting to re-learn an old lesson: that untruth and reality exist in an adversarial relationship. Sad to say, there isn't enough legal infrastructure in the world, nor enough time, to pass judgment on all the lies and misrepresentations that burden the current edition of what passes for civilization.

"Those of us who are peak oil aware should recognize that the most glaring indicator screaming out a bright red alert of an approaching crash has been the rapid plunge of oil prices over the past couple of months. On Friday, Brent crude dropped below $100 after touching $125 in March, while WTI plummeted to $83 after briefly topping $110 three months ago (remember those breathless $5.00-a-gallon gas by summer predictions that appeared in the mainstream media at the time? How silly do they look now?)."
In the new tally by the National Climatic Data Center, Oklahoma's average temperature last summer was 86.9 degrees, while Texas finished with 86.7 degrees. The previous record for the hottest summer was 85.2 degrees set in 1934 — in Oklahoma. "I'm from Oklahoma, and when you talk about the summer of 1934, there are a lot of connotations that go with that," said Deke Arndt, chief of the NCDC's climate monitoring branch in Asheville, N.C. "That whole climate episode — the Dust Bowl — that is a point in our state's history that we still look back to as transformative." Yet the summer of 2011, "was warmer than all those summers that they experienced during the Dust Bowl," Arndt said.
"In a somewhat stunning report from Der Spiegel, Israel is arming up to six new German-made submarines with nuclear weapons. These subs are being built in Germany and it turns out the helpful German government has known of this Israeli nuclearization for decades - despite official denial (more lying when it matters we presume). "

For all the epic volume of blather on the Internet and elsewhere, few have even remarked on extraordinary passivity of the vulgar masses in the face of having their future looted out from under them.

At least that's been the theme since 2008. "

Yes, the "crab bucket" syndrome.
CRAB BUCKET SYNDROME
By Greg Griffin
One day I was walking along the Washington Beach, the black beach in Washington, North Carolina with my father. I was about eight years old. I noticed a man with a bucket of crabs. The crab bucket did not have a top on it. I asked my father why the crabs were not able to escape. My father’s explanation taught me a valuable lesson.
My father said, “If there was only one crab in the bucket it would certainly escape. However, when there is more than one crab in the bucket, if one tries to crawl out, the other crabs would grab hold and pull it back down so that it would share the same fate as the rest of them.”
This is true with people. If one person attempts to better himself, other people will attempt to drag him back down to share their fate. My father said, “ You must ignore the crabs if you want to be a success in life.
A few weekends ago a close friend called me early in the morning laughing. He told me that he had been at a local Montgomery, Alabama Barbershop when my name along with several other persons was dragged through the mud. “Griffin, There was a man in the Barber Shop and he said that, “The three biggest Uncle Toms in Montgomery are Larry Armstead (Mayor Bobby Bright’s right hand man), Sidney Williams (Chairman of the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles) and Greg Griffin (Chief Counsel for the Parole Board).” The man had no basis for his accusations. He went on to say derogatory things about Judge Charles Price, Representative John Knight and several other prominent black Montgomerians .
I don’t want to sound like a self-aggrandizing jackass, but I was somewhat flattered to be thrown in with these successful men. My thoughts immediately returned to what my father had told me when I was a child. This man was nothing more than a crab.
This gentleman had obviously given up on his quest to climb life’s peaks. He found his comfort in tearing down other prominent black men that he presumed had made it. He simply had the mentality that “If he can’t have it, then neither can you.”
My friend told me the man’s name. We share a mutual friend. My friend assured me that if I met him I couldn’t be angry with him. I thought about telling the other people what the man said, but later decided to let it ride. He will eventually say something about the wrong person and they will slap him with a slander suit. According to my friend, he even accused one prominent person whose name I will not mention in this article of being arrested in the Oak Park restroom.
Do you know crab people? Have you attempted to better yourself only to have family and friends to discourage you? Watch out for the crab syndrome.
I would like to recommend a book entitled The Fountainhead, by the Russian/American novelist Ayn Rand. In her introduction to the book, she tells the reader that, “Some give up at the first touch of pressure; some sell out; some run down by imperceptible degrees & lose their fire, never knowing when or how they lost it…Yet a few hold on & move on, knowing that fire is not to be betrayed, learning how to give it shape, purpose & reality. But whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man’s nature & life’s potential. There are very few guideposts to find.
Why this man thinks that I am one of the three biggest uncle toms in Montgomery, I do not know. But I can tell you, this man should read Mathew 20:13-15 and Acts 5:4. He should abandon the politics of envy, and kiss the son, lest he be angry, and perish.
As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. -Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV)

The modern tradition of concerns about an impending decline of resource extraction began in 1865 with Victorian economist William Stanley Jevons (1835–1882), who concluded that falling coal output must spell the end of Britain’s national greatness as it is “of course…useless to think of substituting any other kind of fuel for coal.” Substitute oil for coal in the last sentence and you get the erroneous foundations of the doomsday sentiment shared by the peak-oil catastrophists.

Yes, PO, as well as the quickly-accelerated crisis of the biosphere, make this economic collapse very different from the 1910s and 1930s, make any "recovery" pretty much impossible even with a global war.
Well, yes, but until we can light fires with lightening bolts from our hands, or live like First Nation as Hunter/Gatherers, then Economic Collapse is Peak Oil.

There is a path out for each individual, but it's not easy. How could it be? All you have to do is Stand and Hold and Not Give Up.

Greece stands on the verge of an energy crisis caused not by lack of energy, but lack of money within the energy sector. This will become a common refrain throughout Europe and beyond in the coming months and years. Loss of liquidity has a cascading effect on supply chains, causing them to seize up.
Illargi misses this one.
The grand euro experiment is grinding toward its ultimate conclusion, this can be seen in the petroleum markets. The chart by Bloomberg:

Here we see what happens when a belief system dies. The grinding part is caused by the high price of petroleum. It has cost so little for so long the entire machinery world has been built up around it. A low price has been assumed forever. Now fuel is unaffordable by a large and increasing part of the world economy: the part that has been charged with servicing the world’s debt.
The outcome of the high price has been demand destruction with resulting sharp fall in the price: down then up then down again. The public naively believes the decline in price is an unadulterated ‘good thing’ but prices fall today because something important has died … such as a country.(My Edit: Spain.... :twisted:

Young's Literal Translation And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood is on them. Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
If a man lie also with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,.... Is guilty of the sin of sodomy, this is a breach of the law in Leviticus 18:22,
both of them have committed an abomination; he that lies, and he that is lain with, both consenting to perpetrate the abominable wickedness; which may well be called an abomination, being contrary to nature, and more than brutish, for nothing of that kind is to be found among brutes:
they shall surely be put to death; if he that is lain with is not forced, as Aben Ezra observes:
their blood shall be upon them; be slain by stoning, as the above Targum. Geneva Study Bible
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Wesley's Notes
20:13 Put to death - Except the one party was forced by the other. See Deu 22:25. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
20:10-27 These verses repeat what had been said before, but it was needful there should be line upon line. What praises we owe to God that he has taught the evil of sin, and the sure way of deliverance from it! May we have grace to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things; may we have no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness, but reprove them.
The periphery nations, led by Spain, are pushing on Germany and the funding nations to step-in but the cost will be very high and a huge loss of sovereignty. I doubt if many in Europe understand the price that will be extracted which will be the EU taking over Spain’s financial system, taxes and social services so that Brussels/Berlin will control the country.
The problem for you, A K A, is that the bible is a Story.
A Faith&Believe story.
"I spend a lot of time on DOTE(Decline of the Empire;) talking about reality versus fantasy so you too will learn to see how people typically "think" about the Big Issues.
It turns out they don't think much at all (i.e. don't engage in rational thought, Kahneman's System 1).
Fundamentally, human beings were designed by nature for Faith & Belief, not for rational thought (System 2). I've known that for years and years now because if you actually look as objectively as possible at what goes on in this world, which is what I have tried to do, that's what you see over and over again.
However, the word "story" is neutral, and therefore calling a narrative "a story" effectively divorces it from whatever truth it might contain. Here's a good-enough definition in the intended sense.
An account or recital of an event or a series of events, either true or fictitious, as:
a. An account or report regarding the facts of an event or group of events: "the witness changed her story under questioning."
b. An anecdote: "came back from the trip with some good stories."
c. A lie: "told us a story about the dog eating the cookies."
The whole point of science, which led to human "subjugation" of the natural world as a desired side-effect, and whole point of data-based analysis of current and historical events, was to contruct narratives (called "theories") which were based in fact & observation, and subject to change based on new evidence.
A good theory should be falsifiable, i.e. subject to testing. Otherwise, it is merely a story which may be true or fictitious (see below). The whole point was for some humans to stop telling such stories about how the world works, about events and about each other. Such stories don't need to be grounded in anything. They can be fabricated from whole cloth, and often are.
Right up until the 16th century, all humans had been telling each other stories, often self-justifying, self-serving stories, for tens of thousands of years. Surely it comes as no surprise that the overwhelming majority of people still do that.
Spain & the Afghans....noting that no one on the USSAMedia cirxuit is talking about either....yet....;}
"Spain arrived at the precipice, as I have predicted many times and this morning; they have fallen over the edge.
So long and thanks for all the sardines!
Sancho is no longer fighting with windmills this morning. Notions of some charming book or a small foray into the countryside have been replaced by a much more serious confrontation where Germany will demand vengeance for the irresponsible behavior of Spain.
