A rogue US spy satellite set up to help us in WWIII, is falling from the heavens. And we have NO IDEA where this horrible thing will crash. It can start WWIII. The US can't understand our systems we set up are not protecting us even though it is obvious that anyone working to attack us can do this easily, even hit the Pentagon. As soldiers get blown up in Iraq on a daily basis, the GOP candidates left standing are a pair of corrupt war mongers, both of whom are egging each other on to see who is the most uncivilized. The Iranians are happily taking advantage of yet more US/Israel blunders. The Palestinians supporting Hamas are laughing at us as the Jews plan to reassume their Gaza/Warsaw Ghetto Gambit.
US spy satellite set to hit Earth by early March: Pentagon
The New York Times cited satellite monitoring experts who believe it is an experimental imagery satellite launched in 2006.The United States has a thick web of billion-dollar satellites monitoring the Earth, some including high-powered telescopes or radars, with the capability to zoom in and help launch precision strikes on enemy targets.
Many years ago, a Saudi pilot flying a military jet over Tucson lost control and he bailed out and sent it smashing right into the parking lot that used to by my home. When Tucson wanted to destroy my house, I fought them until one night when I decided to suddenly pack my bags and leave. Since then, I have been a tad paranoid about things falling out of the sky and smashing my home.
So I am paranoid about this news. Isn't this darling? This Death Star died and now is going to fall on us? Great. The Chinese didn't even whack it with their lasers. These spy satellites are set up so in case we decide it is time for the Apocalypse, we can kill as many people as possible before all our cities disappear into raging, burning funnels of hydrogenic annihilation. I remember when Al Gore wanted to expand the number of weather and earth monitoring satellites. But that is the Alternate Universe, one we won't ever see. Instead, the government tried to ignore the malfunctions of the Hubbell Space Telescope that looks at the Universe. And as weather satellites died, Bush babbled about going to Mars only do note that after 7 years of Martian Arts in the Middle East, we are no nearer to getting to Mars than Venus has of reaching the Middle East and spreading love.
This satellite lasted only slightly longer than one year? Good grief. Talk about not getting one's money's worth but then, the whole Star Wars concept has been a con job from day one! When Reagan fell for it, I was disgusted. All it could do was trigger WWIII, not prevent it. And the guys who hatched this back in the early seventies knew this perfectly well. 'If we can have a shield up that alerts us via satellite we can nuke Russia in a sneak attack!' was what they said behind closed doors. Of course, the Russians knew this and this led to them negotiating missile treaties with Reagan.
But those are in the trash, Bush trashed them and now we are in an arms race with a very angry and betrayed Russia. Who is, unlike during the entire Cold War, is now allies with China who is also very angry about our space spying and our increasing military spending. Which they bankroll because they are buying us out. We are paupers with lots of nuclear guns. We secretly hope to jump China in a back alley and cheat them out of their loans and all their savings. But this is stupid. China is setting us up to push us into the ocean. Once they disable all these spy satellites. If any are left. Falling out of the sky! What a success story.
5 US Soldiers Killed in N. Iraq
In a daring ambush, insurgents blasted a U.S. patrol with a roadside bomb Monday and showered survivors with gunfire from a mosque in increasingly lawless Mosul. Five American soldiers were killed in the explosion _ even as Iraqi troops moved into the northern city to challenge al-Qaida in Iraq.
The new 'bomb proof' vehicles are not. They aren't falling out of the sky but the Iraqis are certainly trying to launch them. The death toll in Iraq climbs and it used to be thought, once they reach over 2,500, Americans would want to pull out. Now, it is nearly double that and what is the anti-war debate like in the US?
Sunday: 3 US Soldiers, 14 Iraqis Killed; 12 Iraqis Wounded
Clashes in Dalli Abbasi left two policemen with injuries.The body of a Sheikh was found in downtown Basra.
Like the Palestinians, the Cubans, the Iranians, the Venezuelans, like so many pesky people, they won't bow to the Empire. Eventually, Cuba will be freed of Castroism but I suspect this will be about when the US falls off the cliff. We boycotted or are boycotting these nations but like the Palestinians, this just makes them more ornery or it strengthens them in odd ways we don't want. The death toll in Iraq continues to climb. Pakistan continues towards bin Laden's dream world, Afghanistan is peopled by rebels and outlaws and drug dealers and the US is wasting a fortune instead of going to Mars.
Iran offers to help Egypt with Rafah
Iran on Sunday offered to help Egypt deal with growing chaos on its breached border with Gaza, Egypt's Foreign Ministry said.The offer came during a rare visit to Cairo by a top Iranian diplomat, Ali Asghar Mohammadi, who serves as the Iranian Foreign Ministry's director-general for Arab, Middle East and North African affairs. He met Sunday with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit.
Egypt and Iran have had no formal ties in nearly three decades, but government ministers from the two countries have met frequently in the past two months. Last week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad telephoned his Egyptian counterpart, Hosni Mubarak, for the first time to discuss the Gaza border crisis.
Mohammadi offered Iran's "cooperation with Egypt to provide help to the Palestinians," said Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki. He did not give details of the Iranian offer, but said Egypt welcomes cooperation between the two countries through their Red Crescent branches.
Far from isolated, Iran is enjoying a diplomatic renaissance. Invitations are pouring in. Iran's dance card if rapidly filling up even as the US gets one black eye after another in the Middle East. One of the Sheikhs we conned in Fallujah, a man who went after the resurgent al Qaeda who we let into Iraq, he is turning away from the US and looking to Iran after being betrayed. All Muslims are looking to Palestine to see how resistance and fighting back pays off. Anyone cooperating with the US get burned and Abbas is proof of this. He got absolutely nothing except US bribes to the PA which are now in Switzerland. Otherwise, nothing. The Egyptian dictator gets lots of bribes. Next to Israel, the most on earth from the US.
But he can't escape history. Despite hiding in his palace, locked up as tightly as the Pashas of the Ottoman Empire, he can't kill the Palestinians for the Jews taking over Israel. This is why the news from that jail break in Gaza still reverberates.
Aboul Gheit has said that a resumption of ties could only take place if Iran takes down a large mural of former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's assassin, Khaled el-Islambouli, and changes the name of a street honoring him.
Actually, two years ago there were loud calls for Egypt to cease being a puppet regime of the US. Mubarak has the same problems with democracy and judges in Egypt that Musharraf faces in Pakistan. Both are doomed men.
Judges in Egypt: Scrap peace deal with Israel
08.04.06
Judges in Egypt called upon the government to dissolve its peace agreement with Israel, on the grounds that it is inconceivable for Egypt to coexist peaceably with Israel while the IDF operates in Lebanon. The judges expressed support of popular resistance against Israeli
advances, which, in their eyes, is the only way to protect the Arab ummah (greater nation).
In a statement issued Thursday, Egyptian judges censured "the barbaric Israeli attacks on the Palestinian and Lebanese people." They also warned of American attempts "to rearrange the Middle East, based on the 'Greater Middle East' plan, via Israeli pride and American hegemony, in whose eyes the lives of hundreds of Arab children are not worth the wounds of one Israeli child."
Just because the populations living under the US yoke haven't been able to overthrow this doesn't mean they never can. They will, some day. The only question is, when. The US makes this more and more certain as time passes. We not only negated the Palestinian elections, we not only corrupted Abbas and turned him against his own people, we helped Israeli Jews [not the Muslims in Israel] to begin a total starvation barricade of Gaza. A fatal, fatal mistake on our part. Iran has exploited this crime against humanity.
Back two years ago, I complained that the uproar over Darfur led by mostly Jewish-owned media was a smoke job designed to make the Israelis and the Jews in the US and Europe look humanitarian and kindly. I said, 'Nothing will be done to save more than a token handful in Darfur.' And I was, alas, right. Now we never hear about Darfur. The attempt at keeping the news about Gaza out of mind and eye fell apart recently and the game in this case was to show stern disapproval of resistance. 'If only they surrender to the jinjaweed IDF,' snorted the NY Times. Actually, the NYT thinks the IDF is civilized. As they imagine we are in Iraq as we torture, maim and steal.
Kenya is now writhing with violence. The US won't intervene. Nothing happens. During all this, the Gazan people break down a wall that was ridiculously higher than the Berlin Wall. Now, the border is being reestablished and the Hamas forces will now have normal border relations with the Egyptians. Not a ghetto wall. The US should have demanded the walls never be built, not paying to build them. All the walls in Palestine are 'Made in America.'
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel promised the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, on Sunday that Israel would no longer disrupt the supply of food, medicine and necessary energy into the Gaza Strip and intended to prevent a “humanitarian disaster” there.
*snip*
As an indication of the altered Israeli attitude, the government told the Supreme Court, which was meeting to hear a petition against Israeli efforts to cut electricity and fuel to Gaza, that industrial diesel fuel needed to run Gaza’s main power station would be supplied regularly, although in amounts that would not meet Gaza’s needs for uninterrupted electricity.
I wish Jews in Israel could review the stereotypes which beset all Jews. Instead of screaming about 'anti-semitism', perhaps they ought to see how these sorts of noxious actions are right out of the 'Protocols of Zion.' If that book is fake, why imitate it, chapter and verse? The Jews are saying, 'We give up except we will still not give you enough food or fuel and we plan to cut back the minute no one is looking.' There was this story told in the Middle East: a man walking down a road spots a Palestinian farmer and his donkey. The man decides he wants the Palestinian's coat. So he runs up to the farmer and grabs the coat. When the American walks by and says, 'Whose coat is this?' The Palestinian says, 'It is mine!'
The Jew says, 'It is mine!' So the American says, 'Let's split it in half'. But the Jewish man won't let go. The negotiations continues as the Jewish man beats on the Palestinian who is punished by the American when he flails back. Finally, the Palestinian is offered one sleeve of the coat. The American says, 'See? We are being very generous.'
Then the Jewish man grabs the sleeve and shoots the farmer dead.
Actually, there is a story about such a dispute only I changed it a bit by adding modern names and the ending is slightly more violent. But in essence, this is what is going on. The key to world peace lies in this land, the reverberations of the various crusades of the West, particularly the Christian crusades which are set into motion using the Jews as the opening wedge, the Jews hope they are triumphant but they aren't. The plan is to pen them up in the Holy Land and then CONVERT them. The candidates for US President in the GOP who dream of doing this are fading fast in this election because the media hates them. Only pro-warmongering on behalf of Jews in Israel are being featured.

At best, America’s unipolar moment lasted through the 1990s, but that was also a decade adrift. The post-cold-war “peace dividend” was never converted into a global liberal order under American leadership. So now, rather than bestriding the globe, we are competing — and losing — in a geopolitical marketplace alongside the world’s other superpowers: the European Union and China. This is geopolitics in the 21st century: the new Big Three. Not Russia, an increasingly depopulated expanse run by Gazprom.gov; not an incoherent Islam embroiled in internal wars; and not India, lagging decades behind China in both development and strategic appetite. The Big Three make the rules — their own rules — without any one of them dominating. And the others are left to choose their suitors in this post-American world.The more we appreciate the differences among the American, European and Chinese worldviews, the more we will see the planetary stakes of the new global game. Previous eras of balance of power have been among European powers sharing a common culture. The cold war, too, was not truly an “East-West” struggle; it remained essentially a contest over Europe. What we have today, for the first time in history, is a global, multicivilizational, multipolar battle.
Where do they find these 'historians'? Under rocks? Gads! For CENTURIES, many centuries, there have been multi-polar struggles for global hegemony! Good grief! The Europeans won many of these ONLY after they invented cannons and THEN put them on ships! Up until then, they didn't dominate anyone all that much! Let's go to the Middle Ages: The Arabs flew across Africa and changed all the former Roman colonies into a new culture, a new religion, a total revolution! They swept up most of Spain! They took Sicily! They raided Rome!
Barbarians swept from the Crimea, from Asia, all the way from CHINA, one wave after another! The Mongols reached Poland, Austria and even rode into parts of Italy's northern regions. The Ottoman swept up to the gates of Vienna! The Mongols attacked Europe, China, India, the Middle East, parts of Africa, all of SE Asia, the attack on Japan failed, barely!
Back to global warfare: these wars were also wars of civilizations. And most parties on BOTH or ALL sides barely qualified for 'civilized.' The civilizations in Egypt and China were wrecked by these wars. Just for example. And one man's 'civilization' is another's 'barbarians at the gates'! When the Crusaders hit Jerusalem 1,000 years ago, they slaughtered everyone and looted everything. The reconquistatores of Spain were savage barbarians who destroyed libraries and palaces. The Mongols were finally tamed by the alarmed Chinese after tremendous destruction. The British burned and looted the palaces of China and wrecked the empire totally, the chaos they launched destroyed China for 150 years. Shall I go on?
A fired up Mitt Romney demanded John McCain apologize Saturday for recently saying the former Massachusetts governor had once supported a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq – part of the latest back and forth between the two Republican candidates leading up to the crucial Florida primary."I don't know why he's being dishonest," Romney told reporters in Lutz, Florida. "But that's dishonest. To say that I have a specific date is simply wrong and is dishonest and he should apologize. That is not the case, I’ve never said that."
Campaigning earlier in Fort Myers on Saturday, McCain said, "In the conflict that we’re in, I’m the only one that said we have to abandon the Rumsfeld strategy and Rumsfeld and adopt a new strategy. Gov Romney wanted to set a date for withdrawal, similar to what the democrats are seeking which would have led to the victory by al Qaeda in my view.”
McCain has suggested for days that Romney once supported a timetable for withdrawal, though he only recently began naming the Massachusetts Republican by name.
The Arizona senator later rebuked Romney's calls for an apology, at an event in Sun City.
"I think the apology is owed to the young men and women who are serving this nation in uniform that we will not let them down in hard times and good," he said. "That is who the apology is owed to."
We are not civilized. We are the barbarians at the gates. And we should be ashamed to have ANYONE talk like these two war criminals. Both want eternal war and both will get it. God help us if that stupid spy satellite lands on an important Russian facility or the Kremlin. Or---anywhere in the Dragon's lair in China.
