HERE COME THE MEN IN BLACK
Click on the link in the title and it will bring you to the whole story:
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Four men accused by prosecutors of being "eager to bring death to Jews" were ordered held without bail Thursday, accused of trying to bomb two New York synagogues and planning to fire surface-to-air missiles at U.S. military planes.
And you can read on. It is scary that we have Muslims who want to commit terrorist act in this country, Muslims who hate Jews, Muslims who want to kill Americans.
But it is also scary that the FBI is setting up some hapless Americans, people who are poor and alienated with society. Be it the blacks in prison or the poor Haitians in Liberty City (Miami), it is not difficult to find Americans who are either small time criminals or down trodden with grievances against the government and/or the society at large, more specifically finding blacks of all stripe that hate Jews.
And what is the big deal here, being made of jail house conversions to Islam? Do we not know that most criminals that convert in jail usually convert to Christianity not Islam, even though many blacks do turn to Islam also, jails are full of murderers and child molesters that are now Christians. There are as well white supremacists, Nazis,and other bigots of all stripes, Gangsters (black white and Spanish and the mafia), surely as well willing to bring down the United States.
Now read this,
""FBI director Mueller says released Gitmo detainees could support terror
By DEVLIN BARRETT | Associated Press | May 20, 09 6:21 PM CDT in Politics
FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress on Wednesday that bringing Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States could pose a number of risks, even if they were kept in maximum-security prisons. Responding to FBI concerns, Attorney General Eric Holder said the Obama administration would not put Americans at risk.""
What do we as a nation should expect from the FBI, on one hand they say they can not secure some 240 odd "terrorists" and then they go around finding some idiots to "talk them" into creating plots, what terrorist worth their salt would go out mouthing off about their plots and buy their goods from people they can not vett.
Don't we have enough problems already, last time it took three juries to find one that will buy off on the FBI's Liberty City "conspiracy theory". Don't we already have potential terrorist groups that would do harm to the American government and public? These thugs and bums are not dangerous enough if left alone, what we need to worry about are the ones that are in hiding and are much more capable even on their own and they don't need to buy their arms on the market they can make their own, and do!
What is the record of the FBI? I have questioned it before? We had no clue about the nine eleven, could not find Ted Kaczynski, the una bomber, or Eric Rudolph, can not stop the M13,or the kidnappings in Arizona, or the human trafficking (bringing child prostitutes from Eastren Europe, but we do have the time and the resources to wrap some thugs into a conspiracy, may be we need to know what they paid for a stinger? How many hundreds of thousands? and where the money came from , now that would be a case worth pursuing and a real get.

TERRY SCHIAVO SMILES
The Schindler family videotaped Schiavo for extended periods of time, discarding nearly all of the footage, and prepared a short but disingenuous "highlight" video featuring only the occasional moments when her facial expression looked vaguely like a smile, or when family members were posing where Schiavo seemed to be staring, giving the illusion of "eye contact."
Now you are wondering why in the heck I am bringing up the story of Terry Schiavo, but then read the description above once again. Is not just the story of our economy?
Is not the economy on life support, with a feeding tube called the "recovery plan", our comatose economy will surely die without one. Then every week some one sees the smile in the economy' face. OH the retail sales are up, http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2009/03/less-than-meets-eye.html, oh really?
The stocks are up? on what basis? When we are still losing half a million jobs every month. Did not some people think that she could see also. Fore closures were down because there was a moratorium, now lifted. and houses are being sold to investors for dimes on a dollar, but you know these investors can not hold the properties indefinitely, then who will they sell the properties to. Wages can not go up because of large numbers of the unemployed, the tax revenues will not increase without a rise in wages and increase in employment. Thus social security, medicare and the general fund will all continue to suffer ever larger deficits. And one day the feeding tube will need to be removed.

WHAT HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN
05/12/2009
WHAT HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN
With the new offensive NWFP, Pakistan, and the change of command in Afghanistan, one must wonder what DID Obama tell his recent guests. With the appointment of a General from the US Special forces it appears that Obama told Karazai and Zardari to get serious about clamping down on insurgencies. Obama seems to be getting serious and may have told his "guests" that they can expect an increase in extra "judicial operations" like probably the war lords and the drug lords, (mostly the same) in Afghanistan, and if the Pakistani Army did not get serious about the Taliban problem, they will bemade to look like helpless jack asses that they are while the US forces were conducting the operations within the Pakistan borders themselves. IN both cases , surely he told the "leaders" they could not play both sides of the fencein the wart while lining their own pockets.
By the way the loyalities of both these leaders are in question and can be bought, they will probably sell you their mothers for the right money.

UNTITLED
For days I have wanted to write. One would say now that I am retired I must have more time do anything I want, but no, it seems that all the things I left undone and ignored and it will take a long while for me to do anything but to play catchup.
Yet, it is not like I have stopped thinking, stopped wondering, how the life has changed in the past few months, not mine, mind you, at least not by very much, if any at all.
Yet, for years I have told my children (a captive audience), and any one else that would listen that the world is about to change and not for the better. I have told, as it is written in this blog, of this economic crisis, and the social decline that has brought us here. I do not preach about a "GOD", even if there were one. I do preach, or talk about the humanity and the causes of our downfall. I have outlined the problems, of health care, of pollution and over population, of finance systems and lack of social responsibility, of lack of boundaries and its role in crime, child welfare and diseases and how it is all tied together.
No one knew when the exact date was that the markets will fall, but as I told everyone, including my children, that one day you wake up and it is not the world you went to bed in. Today the world is not the same that you knew even five ten or one year ago, the paradigm has shifted, though many are slow to notice, yet others believe that soon the things will go back to like they used to be in short order.
If you to have some doubts, or may be a notion that soon the things will be same as before, "" NOT HAPPENING"".
If you have read this blog before of may be you need to go through it sometime, you know there is nothing new in the headlines today that I have not already been discussing here or talking to people or writing to the papers about for many years.
It is also my philosophy that the day of judgment happens to people everyday, that it is not necessarily a collective event, it can happen individually depending on the circumstances.
As we go through these new and uncertain times, I wait for the humanity to wake up and to realize what has happened and so far though most of the people do not even know there is a real problem. Soon though, real soon, I think everyone will know how the world has changed, for ever. Then and only then there will be a real solution, a solution that itself will be a bitter pill to swallow.
Once again, it is all tied together, on of my favorite passages from the Koran states,
"
36.51": And the trumpet shall be blown, when lo ! from their graves they shall hasten on to their Lord.

"36.52": They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent God promised and the apostles told the truth".
Let us, for a moment, forget GOD, forget Islam, and forget religion, then notice how contemporary this passage is. We created a society, and we said we did not need morals, or boundaries, we did not need truth or honesty, we said it was better to get rich than to pay a fair wages, we said we could exploit the poor, the widows and the orphans and exploit the earth and her resources, now we have poverty, hunger, unemployment, pollution and disease.

LESSONS NEVER LEARNED
05/06/2009
LESSONS NEVER LEARNED
With the meetings underway between the US leadership and that of Pakistan and Afghanistan it is time to review how we got here.
Late in 2001, a friend of mine that used to work at the Pantagon was visiting and he asked me where I thought Osama was and I told him, without hesitation, that i thought he was in the NWFP. And i gave him all my reasons for that belief.
Years before that at a Joint Forces Tactical Exercise, at Hulbert, one of the airmen had this comic strip up in his cubicle. It became my all time favorite Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.
[Calvin and Hobbes are careening in their red wagon through the woods.]
CALVIN: "It's true, Hobbes, ignorance is bliss! Once you know things, you start seeing problems everywhere. And once you see problems, you feel like you ought to try to fix them. And fixing problems always seems to require personal change. And change means doing things that aren't fun! I say phooey to that! But if you're willfully stupid, you don't know any better, so you can keep doing whatever you like! The secret to happiness is short-term, stupid self-interest!"
HOBBES: "We're heading for that cliff!"
CALVIN: [covering his eyes] "I don't want to know about it."
CRASH!
HOBBES: "I'm not sure I can stand so much bliss."
CALVIN: "Careful! We don't want to learn anything from this."
So here it goes,
What does the United States now expect to happen in the Pakistan Afghanistan conflict, for years I have written on the topic, but it seems that the US politicians still believe in miracles, because their "think tanks" and the "specialists" and experts tell them they will happen. I had recently commented on the CNN blog, in a reply to Peter Bergen article "Pakistan Is Not Falling". CNN did not publish my comments even though by looking at the time stamps i would have been second or the third person to write. Same is the situation with our politicians they only listen to what they want to hear.
The United States WILL lose in Pakistan as it will lose in Afghanistan and has already lost in Iraq because
We failed to secure the borders of the countries, the Iraqi insurgencies were getting arms and support from Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia, while we were going around in circles trying to figure out who was on our side, all sides were against us.
Same thing was happening in Afghanistan, by the time we decided to do anything about the open border with Pakistan, it was too late, we were losing in Afghanistan and Pakistan was also lost.
We supported the local politicians we could buy cheaply, regardless of their ability to deliver, we ended up creating more enemies who hated us for what their politicians were doing in our name. It was bad enough in Iraq and in Afghanistan, we supported Bhutto in Pakistan and ended up with a known criminal as the head of state there too.
WE ARE THE CHUMPS, why was Clinton even mentioning Baliwal , who the hell is he any way, how do we support democracy by meeting with him in any capacity.
Time and again I have mentioned the injustice and corruption in Pakistan, which is actually the same for many if not most of the regimes around the world, have we not learned that such regimes can not be supported and maintained, and as the corruption, injustice, bribery nepotism and elitism and the difference between the poor and the rich keeps growing will US also become more like a third world country?

ONE MORE REASON WE NEED FORCED BIRTH CONTROL

ONE MORE REASON WHY WE NEED FORCED BIRTH CONTROL
COUPLE ARRESTED FOR SEX AT WINDSOR CASTLE
LONDON – Queen Elizabeth II was at home at Windsor Castle, the sentries who guard her were on duty, and the large park surrounding the magnificent building was full of tourists on a Sunday afternoon. So it didn't take long for people to realize that something was out of order when an inebriated couple arrived from a nearby restaurant and began having sex on a grass bank outside the castle, according to witnesses.
"One window from the guardroom opened up and when a soldier saw what was going on he told his mates — and lots of windows opened up," witness Mark Robinson told The Sun newspaper.
"The couple did not care who was looking and just kept going as if they were in their own bedroom."
Japanese tourists filmed the couple, who only stopped when police officers arrived on the scene, witnesses said.
Thames Valley Police said the man and woman were arrested and given a written warning about outraging public decency.
The queen was in the castle at the time, but her office declined Friday to comment about what had happened.
Now there are only two questions, one should these peoples parents have been allowed to have kids? When they were totally incompetent, and two should these two morons be allowed to breed, and what kind of klids will they raise?
