You don't get it. And the POTUS will have about 45 sec to make the call....;) What is happening to the Empire is, ironically, a process I would call of "Israelization": a dynamic in which it is rather obvious that the world's elites dare not speak against it, but the rest of the planet hates and despises it. We can think of "Israelization" as the inevitable backlash resulting from a systematic disregard for international law combined with an equally systematic use of violence or threat thereof (which is, of course, a form of violence in itself). Of course, the imperial rulers are far too ignorant of history, to full of hubris and racist arrogance and, frankly, too stupid to realize how dangerous this process is for them. They will "get it" only by the time it is way too late to stop it. "
Living in the Conspiracy "Living in the Middle Ages" "Todd Akin: The man who said too much" "'Rape can't cause pregnancy': A brief history of Todd Akin's bogus theory" Akin was surprised by the reaction, as he naturally assumed the people he was talking to would see nothing controversial in what he was saying. His mistake was that this type of comment is supposed to be limited to discussions with the like-minded, and not on a television interview that anybody can see. Being a Republican is like being a habitual liar: it is damn hard to keep your stories straight.

* Re: Isaac Forecast Lounge Less Praying, More Generators, Water, Boats.... See any similarities? www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2005/KATRINA_graphics.shtml Friday, August 26, 2005 At 1:00 AM EDT, maximum sustained winds had decreased to 70 mph (110 km/h) and Katrina was again downgraded to a tropical storm. At 5:00 AM EDT, the eye of Hurricane Katrina was located just offshore of southwestern Florida over the Gulf of Mexico about 50 miles (80 km) north-northeast of Key West, Florida. Maximum sustained winds had again increased to 75 mph (121 km/h) and Katrina was upgraded again to a Category 1 hurricane. By 8:00 AM CDT (1300 UTC), in New Orleans, water was seen rising on both sides of the Industrial Canal. At approximately 8:14 AM CDT (1314 UTC), the New Orleans office of the National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Warning for Orleans Parish and St Bernard Parish, citing a levee breach at the Industrial Canal. The National Weather Service predicted three to eight feet of water and advised people in the warning area to "move to higher ground immediately."[14] By 9:00 AM CDT (2100 UTC), there was 6–8 feet of water in the Lower Ninth Ward.[15][16] Many of the new ground based wind measurements were published on the New Orleans National Weather Service web site on Friday, October 7, in their post-storm report on Katrina. The highest sustained winds measured at any ground-based site were 90 mph on Lake Pontchartrain. The highest gust measured on the ground was 135 mph in Poplarville, MS. Many wind measurement sites failed during the storm, so we will have to rely on aircraft and Doppler radar to arrive at the true wind speeds of Katrina at landfall. Here's a few highlights of the highest winds measured at the ground during Katrina, before instrument failure: New Orleans Lakefront Airport: sustained winds of 69 mph, gusting to 86 mph. Biloxi's Keesler Air Force Base: sustained winds of 54 mph, gusting to 90 mph. Gulfport airport: 46 mph, gusting to 58 mph. Lake Ponchartrain mid-lake buoy: 90 mph, gusting to 114 mph. Many of us heard that Category 5 winds were measured by the National Weather Service in Katrina. These rumors were aired as fact by television stations and other media outlets during the storm. However, as the post-storm report above outlines, these were just rumors, and no such winds were measured. If you listened to NPR last night, you also might have heard the story of how television stations in Baton Rouge were reporting a huge crime wave in Baton Rouge after the hurricane, and that an armed gang had even taken over the Mayor's office. These reports, later found out to be completely untrue, led to four-hour waits to buy guns at local gun stores in Baton Rouge. According to NPR, there was no increase in crime in Baton Rouge after the hurricane. The media, at times, did a poor job in separting fact from fiction during the storm, and there were in reality no sustatined winds above Category 1 measured on the ground during Katrina. Obviously, a demotion of Katrina to Category 3 status would have political consequences. classic.wunderground.com/...comment.html?entrynum=182 All we need are shots of Cantore, the Angel of Doom, on the River Walk, with oblivious tourists walking along Jackson Square.

Re: Isaac Forecast Lounge [Re: TXEB] #93764 - Mon Aug 27 2012 08:26 AM E We're about to find out via rapid intensification or not, Quote: Hurricane forecast models (the same ones that were used to predict Katrina’s path) indicate a tendency for more intense (but not overall more frequent) hurricanes when they are run for climate change scenarios (Fig. 1). Figure 1. Model Simulation of Trend in Hurricanes (from Knutson et al, 2004) In the particular simulation shown above, the frequency of the strongest (category 5) hurricanes roughly triples in the anthropogenic climate change scenario relative to the control. This suggests that hurricanes may indeed become more destructive (1) as tropical SSTs warm due to anthropogenic impacts. http://www.realclimate.org/index...canes-and-global-warming/ As far as I can tell, Katrina and Isaac are almost Identical at this point. corrections Always welcomed. The NHC Still has very little in the way of Intensity predictions. and the only thing that's changed in NO, is that it's 7 inches lower in elevation and the GOM is at least 3 inches higher.

Read the USSA Version. CBS: Twin suicide Wardak, Numerous Amerikan injuries..... WRH: Scores of American invaders killed in twin mortar attack; helicopter shot down Zabihullah Mujahid E-mail Print PDF Saturday, 14 Syawal 1433 Saturday, 01 September 2012 14:31 WARDAK, Sept. 01 - The first blast was conducted by Ahmad, a brave martyr-seeking Mujahid on foot hitting a US invaders military base in Syed Abad, Wardak on early Saturday morning which eliminated almost all of the security checks and barriers followed by a massive explosion from a truck bomb by another Mujahid that destroyed much of the base facility allowing Mujahideen to get into the base compound and unleashed a face to face fighting with the American terrorist soldiers within the base, a Mujahideen’s official said. Several dozens of the invading terrorists were killed and wounded in the resulting fighting, setting the base facility on fire and a number of the military vehicles and tanks were destroyed in the blast and fighting, whereas an attack helicopter among many hovering overhead which, in turn, were bombing and targeting Mujahideen combatants, got shot down by Mujahideen during the fight. Meantime, enemy’s spying balloons were destroyed and the center of district got badly damaged as a result of the successful operation increasing the death and injury toll. According the recent reports, more than 30 puppet soldiers were retrieved from beneath the rubble by the bulldozers and the dead and the wounded were being carried by about 30 ambulances, whereas the ambulance helicopters were busy carrying the dead and wounding. According to the witnesses to the scene, more than 10 government buildings were unbelievingly flattened and became piles of rubble. mcgowanjm posted on 2012-09-01 21:31:52 ET Reply Trace Private Reply Edit #697.

" Faced with defeat on all fronts, Washington planners, nonetheless, continue to uphold the delusional dream of an indefinite US stay in Afghanistan. Imperial dreams die hard." In lieu, then, of discussing Afghanistan and US militarism more broadly, the presidential campaign devolves into spectacle and triviality. Substance, where it is to be found, is limited to squabbles over who promises to cut the most from the already gutted American social safety net. The fact that the Pentagon appropriates over half the US budget (52 percent in 2011, according to the War Resisters League) in order to conduct campaigns of misery and terror abroad, leaving the hollow mantra of “shared sacrifice” in its wake at home, is beyond debate-beyond the pale. US militarism is simply an unquestionable pillar of the American way of life. Something the people of the world (from Vietnam to Afghanistan, from Iraq to Korea and beyond) have come to learn firsthand." We're getting our ass handed to us. And Clint Eastwood is our model. Pack up the band...it's now all over. Waiting for the False Flag that will project us into the Post 9/11 Shock Doctrine.
It's going to be 100 F today... And tomorrow. It will cool off to 97 by Wed. No one has to tell me, I don't have to google to know this is a Record....... It used to cost one barrel of oil to get about 100 barrels of oil out of the ground. These days one barrel only gets us 10 barrels back, and declining. And that means it's not cheap anymore.
So far, 48 NATO troops – including the three Australians killed on Wednesday – have died in 31 separate attacks. This month, during Ramadan, 11 US soldiers were killed in nine days. The high number represents 14 per cent of all combat fatalities this year and though it is still only August, the figure is already significantly higher than last year, when 31 troops died. The numbers are so high that some analysts claim they may represent the highest incidence of intentional friendly fire attacks in recorded military history...

In other words, conspiracy theories sometimes are fact. If opportunity, motive, and means are evident, don’t rule out conspiracy merely because you’ll be labeled a conspiracy theorist. English philosopher Bertrand Russell put his own spin on the horrors of uncovering the truth via thought: Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth, more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Small wonder, then, most refuse to think. Thinking is hard, so the majority of Americans prefer television instead. Swimming against a profoundly strong cultural current is nearly impossible, especially when the resulting discomfort threatens our own privilege. And conspiracy theories certainly threaten the ill-founded notion of American exceptionalism.
And speaking of Conspiracy. CNN for some reason thought they need to talk about the Suicide Bombing against the US Consulate 'workers' this AM. Maybe they shoulda just stayed quiet. But then they've got So Much Shite they have to stay quiet about, that it just kinda overflowed their Toilet Bowl, so: Mon Sep 3, 2012 6:17AM GMT A bomb blast near the US Consulate in the city of Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan has killed at least two Americans, and has injured two others. Since late 2009, there has been a surge in militant attacks in Pakistan and thousands more have been displaced by the wave of violence and militancy sweeping across the country. Thousands of Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001, when Pakistan entered an alliance with the US in the so-called war on terrorism. AO/HJL
It's the supreme propaganda orgy, devoted to aggressively reinforcing the claim to American exceptionalism: the belief that even when things look grim, America will forever be that special God-favored land of freedom, opportunity, and prosperity, and all citizens should therefore be deeply grateful – quietly and passively so – for the privilege of residing in such a land, no matter how wretched are their circumstances and how pervasive is the corruption. It's what inculcates many Americans to believe that they enjoy vibrant political debate and stark democratic choice, even as so many of the policies that are most consequential and destructive for their lives – the "war on drugs", the supremacy of the covert national security and surveillance states, vast inequalities in the justice system, crony capitalism that rapidly bolsters the oligarchy that owns the political process – are steadfastly ignored because both parties on those matters have exactly the same position and serve the same interests.
And conspiracy theories certainly threaten the ill-founded notion of American exceptionalism. False-flag terror attacks? Check. American government agencies buying enough ammunition to kill every citizen five times? Check. U.S. Supreme Court collaborating with the executive branch to increase corporate power? Check, since 1971 (at least). Goldman Sachs defrauding its clients with the knowledge of the Securities and Exchange Commission? Check. Civilian deaths from drones covered up? Check. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is dead, though most Americans refuse to acknowledge that truth. But the former U.S. Marine arrested for patriotic posts on Facebook knows. After his relatively innocuous posts, he was placed in a Stalin-like mental ward. Displaying the “wrong” political view warrants the same treatment. Apparently questioning 9/11 — an obvious inside job, as anybody paying the slightest attention has known for years — makes one crazy. Or a terrorist. Or both. And if you think 9/11 wasn’t an inside job — the evidence for which is overwhelming and physically undeniable — then you believe in coincidence but not the Laws of Thermodynamics. When will your silence be met with incarceration, then torture, then early death? These United States are well down the road of tyranny, regardless the mantra of the mainstream.
It somehow manages simultaneously to be relentlessly insipid, yet genuinely destructive. As Blitzer and Burnett put it last night: "So there he is, the Republican vice-presidential nominee and his beautiful family there. His mom is up there … He's a man who says I care deeply about every single word. I want to do a good job." False Flag coming.
The two major parties pretend that so-called "entitlement" programs can be simultaneously reformed, improved, and abolished - that is, you can have your cake and eat it (with ice cream) at the same time you throw it in the garbage. Reality rejects this incoherent juggling act and proposes that Americans better just make other arrangements for old age, routine medical care, and daily bread. This implies cultural as much as economic transformation and it will occur emergently no matter what empty promises anyone makes. People who want to get food at regular intervals will have to find some way to make themselves useful to others. Medicine will return to the local clinic model and doctors will have to find another motivation for practice besides the acquisition of German automobiles. Kunstler Compare and contrast the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats with the Reality Party: The two major parties both propose that the colossal machine of everyday life in America can not only run indefinitely, but continue expanding, and include ever more member people who trade ever more schwag. All that is required, they say, is twiddling the settings of the machine, to get it back to running smoothly as it did in the good old days before the mystifying crash of 2008. They disagree slightly on which dials to twiddle. Reality knows we have entered along-term compressive economic contraction; that there is no way we can persist in the current living arrangement; and that the necessary outcome to avoid immense human suffering can be described as the downscaling and re-localizing of everything we do. The two major parties regard the rule of law as optional, especially in money matters.

A year ago I'd have disagreed, now I think he may be correct. neven1.typepad.com/blog/2012/09/ ... .html#more mcgowanjm Posts: 5079 Joined: Tue Nov 09, 2010 11:23 am Post Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:21 am by mcgowanjm Re: US drought is worst since the 1950s Post Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:21 am by mcgowanjm An Arctic Without Ice means the N Hemisphere Will Never have a Normal Summer again.
