Africa is one of the largest supplier of Europe's natural resources. So much so that France sends out armed forces to procure them (they call the justification "terrorism" too, PR).
Even still, most of their resources remain untapped. In the next two decades, a large focus is going to be around Algeria, Mauritania, Mali, and Niger as they are rich in untapped resources and exploitable in labor.
Having an omnipresence would give an advantage to China as a global superpower. Not saying it's right or good...
I was the first one to read this story and point out the real hypothesis.... test it mother fuckers... I dare you.... I am *never* been wrong. You incompetent assholes make careers out my pastimes.
I got down modded twice as redundant because some asshat says exactly the same as me. Fuck off you dumb motherfuckers. No one gave as much insight as I had. You stupid pieces of shit. I'm done dealing with/. Bunch of fucking stupid monkeys in a barrel.
Wow. Really do some reading, we know nothing about our oceans. A random sample says what? It only says about said sample. In all of my statements, I had been down modded. That's fine my by me; but speaks and represents the lack of critical thinking of/. mods and posters like you.
This too. It seems astounding such a narrative would be chosen. We know more about Mars than we do about our own oceans. I feel the oceanographer's pain now; constantly spoken over, ignored, and dismissed. No matter what, their cause just can't getting any love... despite our oceans being the most beautifully unknown and alluring ecosystem/world/etc in the whole universe.
The ocean's alone contain genetic time capsules; viruses and monsters.
"'We believe that those new Pandoraviruses have emerged from a new ancestral cellular type that no longer exists,' he says. That life could have even come from another planet, like Mars. 'At this point we cannot actually disprove or disregard this type of extreme scenario,' he says."
i.e. Obama is a lizard person and Jesus was a free market capitalist!... At this point I cannot actually disprove or disregard this type of extreme scenario.
His first statement is just right but where does he get some Mars-born virus from? I see nothing that substantiates such a claim. This guy is hitting the pipe too hard.
True. And GDPs are misleading and not a representation of the economical health of a country. Take a look at Mexico, Brazil, or India for that matter. These countries among many are dependent economically and politically upon American industry and imperialism via governmental aid, corporate outsourcing, and sometimes even diplomatic strength. This has been the case in the Americas prior to Lincoln (I will not open that can of worms).
The U.S. is a weird beast and the world's perspective is skewed; many of the good foreign relations the U.S. has accomplished are overshadowed by it's horrific failures caused by executive overreach (e.g. by W and the neocons, Reagan and the neocons, and now Obama and the neoliberal imperialists.)
Here's an example close to home.... For all the shit that Obama receives from "selling guns to the drug cartels". Did you know under the Obama Administration, more Mexican cartel kingpins have been captured? Did you know Mexico has not once caught a drug lord or even the small fry? The drug cartels were curtailed by U.S. intelligence (something Calderon begged for and then took credit for politically even though barely funded a dime to his "drug war"). U.S. federal agents and intelligence led and oversaw *every* Mexican operation. I say "saw", as in past tense, because Nieto is now in power, bringing with him PRI's abuse of power, corruption, and cartel connections. Consequently, Nieto will not collaborate with the U.S. intelligence but wants to establish one corrupt agency, one filter for the U.S. to freely *and remotely* provide intelligence to (the U.S. demands vetting any correspondent prior to giving access to intelligence). Oh, yeah, did I mention who is to lead Nieto's agency? One who has a proven track record of corruption, criminal accusations, and notoriously tied to the drug cartels.
Another fun fact: In some areas in Mexico, since Nieto took power, homicides rates have risen over 200%, journalists are threatened or paid off (U.S. journalists included) to look the other way. Since the first month since Nieto took office phrases like "organized crime" in Mexican media fell by 75% while crime rates rose throughout Mexico by at least 75%.
You see, sometimes the U.S. does great and good deeds that anyone with half a brain and heart would applaud. These deeds are boring; only great terrific overreaches of power based upon political ideologies and imperial expansion make the news.
In short, we need to rein in executive powers, stick to the constitution, keep and reform agencies whose sole purpose is either state welfare and social justice. Everything else is not in interest nor representational to this Republic or its founding fathers. And don't give lip service towards the "spirit of law"; nothing has ever been accomplished or created with "spirit of law"; law has no spirit. We do. The American people do; and the most American patriotic thing to do is to distrust our government but love our brothers.
I'm done.;) I know most of this isn't a direct response to your post; it's directed to the myriad of hysteric posts that are distrustful against and hostile towards their fellowman.
True, you'd have to wait for Reagan for that. Of course, he was straight up selling arms to terrorists and using the money fund drug trafficking contras to fight communists. (Yet another episode in a long, terrible history of covert US actions to support terrible people just because they are the enemies of our enemies.)
Reagan essentially created the drug cartels. Which is among many great examples of why we should not allow political and social ideologies to fuel our foreign policies and warfare; instead we should take a consistent diplomatic stance of neutrality.
It's most likely that Curtis Morrison acted independently
Definitely he had. I cannot help but dismiss a person or party altogether simply by suggesting otherwise; it's such a fantastic (as in stupid) conspiracy. To even suggest Obama or his administration had anything to do with Turtle Man is just preposterous. Nor was McConnell's office even bugged; it was recorded from outside the office and perfectly legal in some states.
This guy was just a political zealot with journalistic aspirations.
They already tried to use the Fourth Amendment. Problem is you basically have to make the government admit to how they violated the fourth amendment:
"The EFF is demanding that the Justice Department immediately process the records previously requested under FOIA and are asking for the feds to compensate them for any attorney fees incurred in their lawsuit against the government.
'As Congress gears up to reconsider the FAA, the American public needs to know how the law has been misused," EFF Senior Counsel David Sobel says. 'The DOJ should follow the law and release this information to the American public.'" http://rt.com/usa/blanketing-spy-program-information-983/
Sorry, friend, I misread. Though I think it's necessary to counter this western line of thinking, despite it being a direct response to the racists (or at least generalists) above.
Perhaps I can plow through and cover all claims with some simple brevity....
The native North Americans had the oldest democracy.
They had a confederacy, a republic
Their languages comprised of at least six written languages; we can at least count for two today but have identified several others and their approximate origins
They lived in harmony with the land.
You cannot judge the superiority, moral, nor wisdom of a civilization simply by their structures. Well, yes, you could, but it stands to show the greater, the more egotistical the structures built by a society, the lesser and inferior the society. How can a civilization be so organized, grant unforeseen power to women, and survive in democratic harmony with neighbor and nature? How can such a civilization be seen as inferior? Others wrote about it. Others who lived at that time. Their characteristic of them was far from barbaric but considered them "god-like". They wrote home about it and them left for the wilderness with them.
If you are to judge a society by what it leaves behind, know this... a civilization that leaves nothing behind is by far the most superior.
Your response seems more to do with South America. Spanish never touched most of North America which makes me think you're off-track in the response to the GP.
I'm not vetting his claims, but there was warfare among the native North Americans a few hundred years before colonization. The result was the Five Nation confederacy and the indoctrination of The Great Tree.
Please people. Check your sarcasm detectors as they are malfunctioning. The whole 'bodybuilders have known this for years' thing is simply a cliche. The poster was just going for a laugh, and got you bozos instead.
Or better yet, dispense with sarcasm and humour entirely. They fill page after page with pointless, misleading banter that adds nothing of value to either the topic under solemn consideration or its posters karma score - which should be proof enough that such levity is unwanted here. This is a highly respected veneral website; a careless joke here could have far-reaching consequences.
That's what they use to say about dancing and rock n' roll. Just saying.;)
It's the job of the receptor to receive accordingly. Far-reaching consequences are the fault of other readers/posters and not that of the OP -- me.
You do realize they have a robust written and verbal language composed of multitudes of dialects and languages? We also know they have the oldest and longest sustained democracy history has ever seen.

Uh, no, *not* on Mars. It has nothing to do with Mars. The paper itself makes no mention to such unfounded and outlandish claims.
Most likely this virus has come from the oceans' depths.

Really sorry that I misread, I was gung-ho. Been drinking. :D
There was enough warfare to establish the Five Nation confederacy (know 7, or is it 6 again?) Insight on that would be great if you got it.
