I'm a cancer survivor, two different cancers and a relapse, and I've survived a hemorrhage in my brain *and* a non cancerous tumor in my neck. And I understand Steve Jobs desire to keep things quiet.
I don't think that illnesses in anyone, even public officials, should be public knowledge.
Thats one of the reasons that nations with space craft on the Moon, Venus and Mars are adamant about the objects not being abandoned, similar to the US listening devices clamped onto Soviet communication cables saying who owned said super-secret listening devices.
So, for example, Mars Pathfinder is not derelict, but jetsam, flotsam or lagan which is remains the property of their original owner. The American bird that was shot down by the Navy this year, might technically be a derelict and could be salvaged legally, had it come down mostly intact.
"Al-Qa'ida's goal is to "unite all Muslims and to establish a government which follows the rule of the Caliphs." Bin Laden has stated that the only way to establish the Caliphate is by force. Al-Qa'ida's goal, therefore, is to overthrow nearly all Muslim governments, which are viewed as corrupt, to drive Western influence from those countries, and eventually to abolish state boundaries."
AQ is inspired by Qutbism
Qutb outlined his ideas in his book Ma'alim fi-l-Tariq (aka Milestones). Other important principles of Qutbism include: Adherence to Sharia as sacred law accessible to humans, without which Islam cannot exist Adherence to Sharia as a complete way of life that will bring not only justice, but complete freedom from servitude, peace, personal serenity, scientific discovery and other benefits; avoidance of Western and non-Islamic "evil and corruption," including socialism and nationalism; Vigilance against Western and Jewish conspiracies against Islam a two-pronged attack of 1) preaching to convert and 2) jihad to forcibly eliminate the "structures" of Jahiliyya. Offensive Jihad to eliminate Jahiliyya not only from the Islamic homeland but from the face of the earth.
So AQ wants to turn the world back into a 7th century Islamic Theocracy, so no suffrage for women, no education for women, no rights for women beyond what is found in the Koran, no rights for homosexuals...
For the people who think that national health care is the end-all be-all solution, go look at the waiting times for surgery in the UK or Canada. Go look at the waiting times for an MRI or CT scan under NHS in the UK or up in Canada.
Most recently it turns out there are shortages of medical tools like syringes and scalpels in the UK's NHS.
Never assume that you won't need it because you are young and fit now.
Cancers like Leukemia or Lymphoma can strike anyone at any time. Look at the Hockey players and most recently the American Football player from the Minnesota Vikings who've come down with Leukemia.
I say this because I was young (8) and fit and I got Leukemia. Later I relapsed, and even later I've had a Cavernous Malformations of the Brain and a non-cancerous tumor of the nerve sheath.
Sometimes there is just a health bullet with your name on it.
Not counting Embassy security like the DSS and Marine guards of embassies, which don't count because an embassy or consulate is technically US soil...
There are two combat zones - Afghanistan and Iraq Not including Djibouti, there are about 2,400 American troops stationed in Africa. There are around 1600-1800 in Djibouti The US military has about 97,000 troops in Asia, not including the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Philippines - those are centered in South Korea and Japan, by treaty. Australasia - 52 Not counting Bosnia or Kosovo, the US military has about 90,000 personnel in Europe - 74,000 of those in Germany and the UK
There are 27 nations with more than 100 US combat troops. There are more US troops filling defense treaty obligations in western europe and the Pacific Rim than there are fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan
In Exodus from the Hebrew it is - You shall not murder. Exodus 20:13 In Deuteronomy 5:17 - You shall not murder.
The many examples in the Old Testament of killing sanctioned by God, are quoted in defense of the view that "murder" is more accurate. Furthermore, the Hebrew word for "kill" is "" - "harog", while the Hebrew word for "murder" is "" - "retzach". Ten Commandments " " - "lo tirtzach", No Murder.
So, if someone is breaking into my home and I kill them, I've not broken the commandment.
They are testing new materials and designs of the electronics and radioactive materials used. Some tests do fail or exceed expectations. Something like the George" shot, was physics experiment relating to the hydrogen bomb.
Buster-Jangle-Able was a fizzile with a one kilogram yield, but with alot of radiation.
The American test, Castle Bravo, yielded almost double the expected yield.
Castle Bravo didn't use cryogenic boosters for its fusion phase, so it lead to the developable and miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb (Fission-Fusion and Fission-Fusion-Fusion)
Then you tested to make sure entire systems world, like Grable of the Upshot-Knothole test was a nuclear weapon fired from a 280mm artillery piece and became the proof shot for the entire like of American nuclear artillery rounds.
Then also from tests at different altitudes they've learned to optimize the device's explosion altitude so smaller devices can be deployed.
Trinity and Beyond along with the Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes are a very good primer on the Anglo-American development along with the science and math done in Europe and the Americas from 1900-1945.
If you are interested in the spying and hydrogen bomb development along with the Soviet bomb, Rhodes Black Sun covers that.
This happens to me as well. I have a long and complex medical history. I have had two cancers with a relapse, a stroke and some non-cancerous tumors. I've been dealing with this since 1980. So we wrote up a history and lists of current meds to take with us to appointments.
Invariably the staff will not look at these lists and history, make us fill out forms that can't hold all the information and it wastes our time.
On the other hand, the Doctors *will* look at the papers and thank us for them.
Of course, "recorded history" means recorded western and central european history. The majority of data before 1500 is lost for Chinese and Viking exploration and completely non-existent for American Indians.*
* - Except for oral traditions brought out to "prove" the ice never ever broke up there, when it suits the media or a researcher looking for oral traditions on Global Warming.
On the subject of oral traditions, from the Sagas we know of, and the pattern of agriculture in Western and Central Europe from 800-1350-ish, there might have very well been openings in the NW passage ice but without good archival data, its speculation.
GI Joe wasn't a saturday cartoon, it aired weekdays.
Originally it was a 12" action figure series from the late 50s on. Then a comic book and 3" action figure line in the early 80s before the cartoon came one.
American Indian reservations act like States or Terriories in that Federal Law applies there. Worse, since all Capital and violent crimes are handled by the FBI, almost every reservation has a local FBI office.
Naw, if the winds were blowing that way, the President could simply ask the VP to resign, he would, a new Republican would be brought in, a la Nixon bringing in Ford.
"Troopers" in US states typically refer to state police, State Troopers are the police who are usually out on the highways patroling, ticketing and assisting.
However, according to US Code TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > 311 Militia: composition and classes,
"The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
b) The classes of the militia are-- (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."
So, everyone who is 17 to 45 are part of the militia of the United States of America per Federal Law and entitled to own and bare arms.

On the moon it'll be the country with the most heavy lift.

This is the Planet's way to relieve stress after a bad geological day.
"Mother Nature" has nothing to do with plate tectonics. She is involved in things like Ebola and homosexuality in Orca pods.
Well, it could be up because Intel has a plant over there. Friend of mine who works in Fab design said the Intel plant is fine, nothing wrong.

Or it could be part of the "news for nerds" and "stuff that matters", like the WTC attack being on

Thats the Nevada Test Site and those are the results of the various tests.
Now it didn't work that when the atomic and later, the hydrogen bomb were done the testing was done.
They had to test various weaponization, mass production and designs of the weapons out there.
The Atomic Bomb Movie as mentioned in other threads here talks alot about those progressions.
They are testing new materials and designs of the electronics and radioactive materials used. Some tests do fail or exceed expectations. Something like the George" shot, was physics experiment relating to the hydrogen bomb.

Any sources to back that claim of "...FBI already spends *MOST* of its resources tracking down child molesters"?
The FBI has many roles, from counter-terror, to counter espionage, to kidnapping and a zillion other things.
