Read this, and you'll see that the conservative Washington Times has a big problem with the Administration's decimation of NASA's planetary science problem.

Fred Phelps has now gone to be with God in Heaven. RIP, brave soldier of Christ. RIP.

I guess Lucien Greaves will be making a trip to his grave to turn Fred Phelps' soul gay any day now.

There are lots of "snowflake babies" in need of adoption: http://www.washingtontimes.com...

If you have fertility issues, consider adopting one, so he or she can get out of the freezer and start living, like Hannah Strege did!

Barack Obama.. Killed 14 at the Navy Ship Yard in September 2013, including Aaron Alexis, by psychic driving him and programming him to go on a murderous rampage by using their remote control technology on him: http://communities.washingtont...

There are thousands of victims of genocide, mind control and directed-energy weapons attacks across the country, and millions world wide, being abused by the Department of Defense, Central Intelligence Agency, US Department of Justice, DIA, US Air Force, and National Security Agency.

Please view the homepage of http://www.obamasweapon.com/ for more information. There are people just like me in every city, every state, and every country, and this has all been proven time and time again by countless whistleblowers to be real (Duncan is the biggest one), and not a single person or media agency is taking it seriously.

Here's a room full of people at the Bio Ethics Committee in New York, NY, talking all about being abused and tortured by the government with these weapons. This is truly genocide, on a massive scale: http://bioethics.gov/node/225

Senator Paul Wellstone was also assassinated with this technology: http://www.assassinationscienc...

The World Trade Center was also dustified on 9/11 with this same technology. It's proven true, there is even evidence that the metal of the WTC was jellified with the Tesla Hutchison Effect of electromagnetism. http://www.drjudywood.com/

First, the oil fund is a mathematical artifice. At three-quarters of a trillion dollars, the Norwegian Oil Fund appears to provide plenty for a country with scarcely 5 million citizens. Yet the country has accumulated a foreign debt that, at $657 billion, is almost as massive. Subtracting the debt from the fund’s $740 billion leaves a balance of only $83 billion. In other words, there is a treasure chest, but it is almost empty: Njord’s prize for future generations is only a little more than 10 percent of its putative value.

Socialists are very good at spending other people's money, aren't they edjs.

Yes I can. Please fucking click through to the link.

Confirmed whistleblowers:

Dr. Robert Duncan, MIT, Harvard, and Darthmouth grad, worked for the Department of Defense, CIA, US DOJ, designed many of the software components behind these weapons, the "artificial intelligence". He confirms so much about these weapons, he personally designed many tracking software pieces for the Navy, and satellite software for the FBI/US DOJ including heart rate monitoring, breathe monitoring, and license plate tracking, just to name a few features.

"Voice of god" weapon is the ability to direct energy at your skull from space or radar to make you hear god, or whatever they want you to hear for mind control purposes and torture. It uses pulse modulated microwaves that once absorbed into your skull or soft tissue, create vibrations which travel to your cochlea and are interpreted as sound that only you can hear, thereby simulating schizophrenia.

On top of that, his books disclose TAMI, Thought Amplifier and Mind Interface, and radar tricks, including the ones used to down planes in the Bermuda Triangle (all attacks from the USA/Puerto Rico radar field, NOT paranormal shield as the DOD tried to make everyone believe).

Mark Phillips is a CIA operative who worked in CIA Project MKULTRA for mind control development who backs Dr. Robert Duncan up. More weapons details, including Mark Phillips and Dr. Robert Duncan interview, and the patents here: http://www.oregonstatehospital...

A US Investigative Service employee that I cannot disclose personally told me about these weapons and her belief I was targeted by them for psych/weapons experimentation. Listen to her here, with transcripts of our conversation: http://www.oregonstatehospital...

NSA whistleblower Russell Tice also backs this up; Americans are being targeted during black operations. Senators, journalists, lawyers, banks, judges (Judge Alito of the US Supreme Court was targeted, for example). They are spying on Americans to control us, know how to manipulate and trick us to hide their crimes and abuses!

Even Obama, Barack Obama, was targeted in 2004 after winning the Illinois caucus, by the NSA. They vetted the douche, helped him rise to Presidency. Russell Tice confirmed it on Abby Martin; the whole fucking election was basically fabricated.

Lastly but not least, there are many PhD scientists who believe in this and back it up. I like Dr. Judy Wood, her work is really outstanding. She believes that there's a whole network of directed-energy weapons set up to target us which was funded through Strategic Defense Initiative. They also dustified the World Trade Center on 9/11. http://www.drjudywood.com/

Another scientist is.. Jim Fetzer, who believes Senator Paul Wellstone was assassinated in 2002 with an EMP blast/EMF weapon. His plane was targeted and crashed, the United States did this. http://assassinationscience.co...

Read about Aaron Alexis, being used to kill 12 Navy Yard's employees, and himself September 2013. He was targeted with this ELF weapon, they mind controlled and tortured him into doing this: http://communities.washingtont...

Ars has an article about scraping the A10 to keep the F35, the slow, fat, but stealthy, Jack-of-all-trades that'll apparently get shot down in a conflict. Of course there's a lot more pork with the F35 than the A10.

We couldn't possibly give up our strategic advantage in an area that has almost no usefulness in this period of time!

Tell it to the Chinese and Russians.

Summary: Yuppie WASP thinks he knows the solution to poverty: If they would only get of their lazy bums, they wouldn't be poor anymore!

How are so who are so uninformed about the nature of poverty in the US so confident in their deluded opinions? (Wait, I know, it's because Republican rhetoric about government "entitlements.")

I'd argue that if you have exploited to the fullest the "free education" you get in the US to age 18, never done drugs nor become addicted to alcohol, etc, and neither fathered/mothered a child until you had a stable job and income post-highschool then there's no way you're working minimum-wage jobs for any sustained period of time.

If you would argue that, you'd either be a moron or someone who is so uninformed as to be totally unqualified to speak on the topic.

Education in the US is not created equal. Try being born in the inner city where the high school has a 15% graduation rate (half that of the city average) and even those who do graduate often fail to understand 7th grade level algebra. Now add on to this an alcoholic mother who kicks you out of the house whenever she gets drunk, forcing you to either 1.) spend the night with your drug dealing uncle, 2.) spend the night at a shelter where someone is stabbed to death roughly once a month, or 3.) sleep on the street. Are you going to graduate from high school?

This is not a hypothetical story. I am describing an actual person that I knew back when I volunteered with the social work department at an inner city hospital.

Let's say that you beat the odds that are overwhelmingly against you and graduate from high school. If you are like the young man that I knew, you have never even heard of the SAT. Your high school's average SAT is below 1000 (on the 2400 scale). And those that do go to a local HBCU with only a 30% graduation rate and absolutely horrendous job placement. Trade school is a more reasonable alternative, but you can't afford the tuition and financial aid for trade school is basically non-existent.

Your only option at this point is to go for jobs that will take people with a high school diploma, but you live in a city where unemployment is 147% that of the rest of the state. Odds are that the best you will be able to get is a part time job at the local McDonald's. If you work hard, in three or four years, you might work your way up to assistant manager and make a whopping $10/hr.

This will barely be enough to pay for your rent (usually about $700/month for a single bedroom, perhaps $600 after rental assistance), let alone enough to save up for an education or to pay for the cost of raising children.

If you see any way to escape this situation through hard work, please let me know. If there were any bad choices made here that resulted in their just deserts, please let me know.

Now, if you have a cellphone, and cable, kids, and you smoke, and own a house...that $24,000 starts to get pretty thin. But then, you're already living better than 2/3rds of the people on the planet, not bad for "being poor"?

1.) A lot of the people I knew back when I volunteered with social work would have killed to make $24,000 a year. The average income of the people I worked with was probably closer to $10k - $15k per year because most people were unable to find anything but part time work. 2.) Let's pretend that it is easy to make $24k/yr. So poor people in the US on average live better than sub-Saharan Africans and we call that progress? The US is the wealthiest nation in the world. We absolutely should not be comparing ourselves to the lowest 2/3rd that still

Gabriel Silverstein of New York flies using flight plans as standard procedure, said the Iowa state troopers who detained him in Iowa City this spring were more blatant [than those in another case]. “It was, ‘We are inspecting your plane,’ not, ‘May we search your plane?’ ” Mr. Silverstein said.

In the two-hour encounter one of the lawmen advised him to confess to possessing “a little personal-use dope and it’ll be all over and easy.” Mr. Silverstein said he was hardly about to make such a confession, considering that he refrains from drinking coffee, much less anything illegal.

The Iowa City stop was the second for him in four days. Mr. Silverstein also had been visited by two Customs agents in Hobart, Okla., during a fuel stop on the outbound leg of a business trip from New Jersey to California and back with his husband. They checked his paperwork and quickly inspected his baggage while he fueled the plane, he said.

That's a pretty damned clear set-up for a slam-dunk civil forfeiture case with a bonus uncontested drug possession charge.

"Chapter One (the introduction of unsustainable entitlements) leads eventually to Chapter 20 (total societal collapse): The Greeks are at Chapter 17 or 18."

"What’s happening in the developed world today isn’t so very hard to understand: The 20th century Bismarckian welfare state has run out of people to stick it to. In America, the feckless insatiable boobs in Washington, Sacramento, Albany and elsewhere are screwing over our kids and grandkids. In Europe, they’ve reached the next stage in social democratic evolution: There are no kids or grandkids to screw over. The United States has a fertility rate of around 2.1, or just over two kids per couple. Greece has a fertility rate of about 1.3: 10 grandparents have six kids have four grandkids - i.e., the family tree is upside down. Demographers call 1.3 “lowest-low” fertility - the point from which no society has ever recovered. And compared to Spain and Italy, Greece has the least worst fertility rate in Mediterranean Europe."

"So you can’t borrow against the future because, in the most basic sense, you don’t have one. Greeks in the public sector retire at 58, which sounds great. But, when 10 grandparents have four grandchildren, who pays for you to spend the last third of your adult life loafing around?"

This argument doesn't hold water anymore. Why?

As of a few days ago, the US is the number 1 producer of oil and natural gas in the world. Seehere.

And from that, what has happened to domestic prices? Nothing. Not that that, is an immediate or longterm goal. Foreign oil dependence is a political tool in the scheme of things, since international agreements for oil supply and demand keep the markets running. ALL the markets running!

The sad truth of it is, regardless of whether the Keystone Pipeline goes through, and it probably will has it's into phase 2( or 3?) right now, the US price of fuel at the pump will like never go down any significant amount. Ever! In both cases, with and without the pipeline, that oil will make it to market. When exactly, becomes irrelavant. Whether fast or slow, there is a finite amount of crude oil that can be refined at any given moment in the world. If you flood the available market with crude, sure there's lots of crude, and price per barrel might dip on the stock exchange, but the flow of refined is constant. Or at least, fairly constant at the moment. Yes, more refineries are being built, but not at a pace that can keep up with that increase in available crude. Even if the position changed, such that there was more refined fuel available, given that crude increase, it still becomes irrelevant.

We're talking about a commodity that is the lifeblood of every commerce on the planet. If more refined fuel is available, and it's now cheaper from that crude influx, it's now being used more. It's a self fulfilling enterprise. It's not that the price holds to what the market can bare, it is held at that price because that's what the economies of the world can handle. Any more expensive, and subsets of larger economic markets start becoming effected, and slow down or stop. This isn't theory, as we've seen it in action when fuel at the pump got to anywhere between $3 to $6 per gallon half a decade ago and more. Remember that? I do! That was a VERY GOOD experiment by the energy industry, to see just how the global market react if it was squeezed to look at alternative methods of energy. And it's worked quite well for them, as they're making record profits. Even after US taxpayer funded subsidies.

So, build it, don't build it. It's fairly irrelevant in the present scheme of things. Yes, it's more oil to market. This, year, or in 5 years. It's more oil to market which in theory means cheaper crude prices translating to cheaper prices at the pump. That's theory. Why? Because there's more oil being put to market at the present, and refined now, than at any point in history before it. What are you paying again at the pump? When will it go down to realistic levels, given quality of living expenses? It won't, and that's the point.

If you want to talk about local economic prosperity in job markets associated with the building, or local economic collapse after the buildings finished, we can discuss that. There are loads of history available for that discussion. Or perhaps environmental risk for certain spills and associated fresh water contaminations that will effect local communities large and small. We can talk about that!

Keystone Pipeline? Sure build it. Just don't expect me to show you support or objection when it won't effect prices at the pump, long or short. Or ignores real environmental concerns in an energy industry that gives safety a 2nd and 3rd class seat to profits and schedule. Much less, private collusion and secrecy, with necessary legal backing behind it.

Environmental impact of petroleum? Start discussing mainlining wholesale public infrastructure for mass transit across the entire US, including the rural level, and I'll start listening to a serious discussion about the reduction of petroleum for transit and shipping domestically. Till then, gain some perspective.

The Ghosts of Jamie Whitten and John Stennis live on in Mississippi. Bringing federal dollars to pork barrel projects.

Jamie Whitten was the ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee and any appropriations bill that passed by had to have something for Mississippi. Stennis was the same way in the Senate and together they always got something for Mississippi it seems in every appropriations bill.
That was true when the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor was mandated by Congress after the Challenger incident. NASA didn't want it but if they wanted to fund the shuttle and other programs, they had to take the ASRM too. Things like having to deliver the ASRM rockets on barges were put into bid contracts to prevent Thiokol (the supplier of RSRM engines for the shuttle) from bidding on the contract. Oh, they just happened to have the site at Iuka MS, which among being the site of a defunct Nuclear Reactor project by the TVA and was also a former weapons depot.

You see that's the problem with the seniority system in Congress, you can get politicians re-elected by people and they just move up the ladder on all these committees and it's the committees where all the power is in Congress. You can't just put legislation on the floor of either the House or Senate, it has to go through Committee first and if you have ranking congressmen and senators blocking projects until they get what they want, then important legislation can be held up indefinitely. It's been that way since our Federal Government was formed and handcuffs well meaning legislation with bad things that garner support from fringe members of Congress to get the votes necessary to pass the whole package.

Even though everybody thinks that Earmarks are supposedly a thing of the past, they're still around. The testing facility in MS shows again that port barrel spending is alive and well and a lot of things still get through, for example with the recent budget deal. Did you also know we have a STARBASE program as well? Well in 2012 it received $5m in funding and while most won't consider it a lot, it's really a glorified recruiting program.

"Is Fibromyalgia caused by low Magnesium?"

No, it isn't. Magnesium supplements can sometimes help, because it's meant to help muscles.

The sequester cuts were long over by the time you submitted your form in October. The government shutdown is also long over. The IRS is not "being forced to cut service" by the sequester or anything else.

I suspect that at least some of the cultural bias is about being the bread winner for a family. Want to major in music? Counselors tell boys to study Music Ed so they have a chance (albeit small) of getting a job; girls go into performance because it touches their soul. Same with other areas - engineering used to be the safe choice for boys; good jobs were available after graduation. If you were willing to take a higher risk you want for philosophy or biology and tried to get into Law or Med school.

Notice I started with "culture" bias, not race or gender. Think about census statistics

I am reasonably sure that Germany would exit the EU if such a program was installed.

I did not say that the German government did not WANT to spy. Sure they do. All governments want to spy, be they western or not.
The point is, the population would freak out if it actually came out that the government was spying on every German and what they did.

Look, I will be the first to admit it. Germans are about the stingiest people I ever met. I have only lived here for about 5 years, but that much is clear. "Hey, why don't you have a clothes dryer?". response: "Why should I pay 200€ for what the sun does for free!" Classic German thinking. Save save save save. That is a good thing though.
Now, I know 3 different people who have canceled their family trips to the US over this matter. These are already paid for trip with no chance to get the money back.
The fact is, they are afraid of the US government. They are afraid that the TSA will confiscate their notebooks because the agent would like to have a new one. Or copy all their private information.

A. Increased use of targeted drone warfare(promise too well kept, good god)

Obama and McCain were competing how much they will increase drone use. McCain promised even more drones in more places.

B. Out of Iraq(yeah, sorta)

Because Iraq wouldn't give US troops immunity from prosecution. If Iraq agreed to grant immunity, the troops might still be there.

You know what would really be effective at stopping Al Qaeda? STOP FUNDING AND ARMING THEM!

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/20/kuhner-how-obama-arms-al-qaeda/

It's no secret that the US and Saudi Arabia have been giving Al Qaeda weapons and money when they do mercenary work. Yet somehow no one wants to talk about how to prevent Saudis from funneling money into Al Qaeda.

Let's face it, Al Qaeda is the real life Emmanuel Goldstein: controlled opposition used to justify all the totalitarian legislation that the people in power want to impose.

Since the public record indicates that the vast majority of terrorist attacks that the NSA has helped stopped are overseas, outside the US

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Let it be known that uber-con cold fjord has acknowledged that the NSA's domestic meta-data program (section 215) has stopped zero terrorist attacks inside the US and that the overseas meta-data interception program (section 702) has "helped" to stop one, perhaps two attacks in the US.

215: We Found None

702: Only One, Perhaps Two

Conspiracy theory is the exact word that is used to draw attention away from abuses of power.

Cigarette Smuggling Linked to Terrorism - (From 2004, but the problem remains.)

Smugglers with ties to terrorist groups are acquiring millions of dollars from illegal cigarette sales and funneling the cash to organizations such as al Qaeda and Hezbollah, federal law enforcement officials say, prompting a nationwide crackdown on black market tobacco.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has more than 300 open cases of illicit cigarette trafficking -- including several with terrorist links -- up from only a handful five years ago, ATF sources said.

"This is a major priority for us," said Michael Bouchard, assistant director of the ATF. "The deeper we dig into these cases, the more ties to terrorism we're discovering."

Those links above are only a drop in the bucket, especially where China is concerned.

There is a process for properly releasing classified information. Broadcasting it on CSPAN without prior coordination and clearance generally doesn't conform to that.

I would add 2 words to that ones: Witch Hunt. What we see normal or harmless today could be proclaimed as crime tomorrow.

I'll add two more words: Tea Party. Dissent can easily be branded a crime by the Powers That Be. Remember, remember and be afraid.

I think AGMW may be confusing Washington Time columnist with an elected position.

While AGME was incorrect, I do not believe Jeffrey T. Kuhner has been arrested. Although, it's worth noting that he is not offering money for said assination, but saying the US goverenment should order it as a matter of policy.

there is also no way to put this genie back into the bottle. once your cred is gone, its gone. and the US has lost ALL cred when it comes to safeguarding your privacy.

sad but true. as a US citizen, I am sorry for how badly we have botched the world's trust.

Well then, why don't you base your next project on equipment and software from a country that doesn't engage in any spying?

Before you do, why don't you check to see if the city you live is in the orange zone on this map. Can you guess what that map is, or do you need help? That is from the state controlled Chinese media, by the way. You might also want to read up on a few of the "implementation errors" they made in arriving at the current society. If you think the US is bad, you clearly don't appreciate the finer points of the alternatives that are out there. There used to be a lot more countries just like them, and nothing says there won't be again. And they are just one band of the rainbow.

Where's the great catastrophe for all the TRILLIONS of dollars we are wasting at the NSA?

A picture of one of them is here. This article describes what that is. That is one of the things that NSA guards against. Don't worry if you don't live in the USA, there is a map like that for you too, it just may not be published.

Define "sensible."

Where I come from, you see a lot of posters and bumper stickers that say something to the effect of, "gun control is using both hands/knowing your target." Something tells me our idea of 'sensible' is going to be a bit different than, say, someone living in NYC.

Side note: I see from your link that they're basing this claim on a poll, but do not actually have a link anywhere on the page for readers to review the poll for themselves (at least, not that I found).

This being Slashdot, with a crowd more perceptive than most, I don't think I need to explain the problem with bias in opinion polls. For example, see this article in which the NRA claims that the one in your article is bunk, and did their own survey achieving a completely different result.

Unfortunately EMP is a genuine serious threat, and North Korea poses a potential threat not just to the US, but to Australia, Japan, and other nations as well.

Inside the Ring: North Korean missiles deemed a serious threat to U.S.
'North Korea's nuclear weapons could hit UK': Alarm at David Cameron's claim

An EMP Could Cripple the U.S.

An EMP is a torrent of electromagnetic energy that disrupts and destroys electronic devices within an affected area. As a result of such an event, most electrical devices would fail, most cars would cease functioning, airplanes would fall from the sky, and critical infrastructure—such as water and sewers, banking, energy, transportation, information technology, and others—would shut down.

Importantly, the electrical components and transmission systems would be permanently destroyed, requiring enormous levels of repair and rebuilding. Huge swaths of the U.S. would be without even the most basic of services for years, and it could take decades to fully recover. The economic and human losses would be catastrophic.

EMP Attacks—What the U.S. Must Do Now

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack represents one of the greatest threats imaginable—to the United States and the world. An EMP occurs when a nuclear device is detonated high in the atmosphere—a phenomenon of which America’s enemies are well aware. The electromagnetic discharge can permanently disable the electrical systems that run nearly all civilian and military infrastructures. A massive EMP attack on the United States would produce almost unimaginable devastation. Communications would collapse, transportation would halt, and electrical power would simply be non-existent. Not even a global humanitarian effort would be enough to keep hundreds of millions of Americans from death by starvation, exposure, or lack of medicine. Nor would the catastrophe stop at U.S. borders. Most of Canada would be devastated, too, as its infrastructure is integrated with the U.S. power grid. Without the American economic engine, the world economy would quickly collapse. Much of the world’s intellectual brain power (half of it is in the United States) would be lost as well. Earth would most likely recede into the “new” Dark Ages.

A single nuke exploded above America could cause a national blackout for months.

One EMP burst and the world goes dark

So cold the the public is hearing about junk encryption, the brands that help with little worry about legality and vast domestic surveillance nets.

Clime change is in 100s of years, one prediction [wikipedia.org] is 1.75 meter in 500 years years with four time the current CO2 level

Well, in this case, maybe we should change our priorities a little — because currently, for example, America's government spends more fighting "global warming", than illegal immigration...

But, perhaps, you just don't know something, our government does... Judging by Administration's directives, the threat is much more immediate than "in 100s of years".

That's so they can vote for him during elections because at the same time his Attorney General goes after states who try to enact voter id laws and try to protect their own borders.

What's sad and what we're seeing now with the recent Supreme Court Ruling is the fact that States can't ask for proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Talk about a fucked up situation because like it or not it opens up the door for ineligible voters to vote in our elections, it's happening now but with the constant interference in State run elections and inaction on immigration and border security you'll never be able to accurately quantify it.

Funny that the IRS themselves disagrees with you.

The IRS inspector general said this week that while some liberal groups were given extra scrutiny by the tax agency, they were not subjected to the same invasive queries as tea party groups

...
In a letter sent late Wednesday and released Thursday, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George said that just 30 percent of groups with the word âoeprogressiveâ in their name were put through special scrutiny for tax-exempt applications, but 100 percent of groups with âoetea party,â âoepatriotâ or âoe9/12â in their name were subjected to invasive questioning.

The IRS targeted 292 conservative groups and only 6 progressive groups. Your playing revisionist history with reality and it doesn't withstand even a minimum of scrutiny.

EDITORIAL: Miss me yet? - Thursday, April 25, 2013

Though still slightly under water, as the campaign wise men might put it, the former president’s job-approval rating is now at 47 percent, up 14 points from his last day in office — and tied with President Obama’s 47 percent. Mr. Obama succeeded Mr. Bush in no small part by blaming the Great Recession (and everything else) on the Bush economic policies. Mr. Obama still rarely lets a day go by without bashing Mr. Bush, but the public now recalls the Bush policies fondly. Approval of his economic policies is up 19 percent from 2009.

This sharp change in public opinion confounds historians who insist that it takes years, if not decades, for a substantial revision of public opinion of a president’s legacy. Obamanomics has reduced the standard of living for many Americans, and they pine for the recent past. T-shirts bearing an illustration of a smirking Mr. Bush with the slogan “Miss me yet?” are flying off the shelves.

Sadly, the paper the reporter worked for has now run a piece about the raid and their intentions to pursue a civil case against the government. So it looks like the tin foil hat brigade is right again. Been happening a lot this year. Perhaps TIME will make the conspiracy theorist the Person of the Year this year.
