For those too young to remember the Cold War...

The conflict in Georgia has awoken fears of a new Cold War between Russia and its allies and the West, nearly 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. But will the animosity come back to haunt Western imaginations as it once did?

Webmaster's Commentary: 

That is what our government is HOPING for. They long for a return to the days when all they had to do was wave Russians at us and we would turn into obedient little drones, doing what we were told, paying whatever taxes we were told, breeding soldiers as fast as we were told.

The War on Terruh has fizzled as a device to scare us all into total servitude, so the US Government is dancing the time warp back to the 1950s and hoping we'll tango aloing.

Not likely.

The 5 Current Genetic Experiments Most Likely to Destroy Humanity

If there's one thing scientists have a knack for (other than avoiding sexual contact with other human beings), it's turning seemingly innocent things into horrifying specters of terror. Atoms were just innocent old building blocks of matter up until they were used to level two Japanese cities. Apparently bored with the military weapons as an outlet for their evil, scientists are upping their pant-soiling quotient by genetically engineering monsters out of our livestock and pets.

The Missing Brain Solved

So there you have it. The Kennedy family absconds with the brain. It is either entrusted within their estate, or destroyed, or buried with John Kennedy’s body when it was reentered. We’ll never know for sure.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

I have heard this theory before, but my understanding is that the Kennedy family denies this.

God's Unconditional Love Officially Terminated

Earth- Mass panic ensued among Christians last Sunday when God issued a formal statement from Heaven saying that His pure and sublime love, on which millions of people depend, will no longer be provided unconditionally.

"If you want my love you're going to have to earn it," said God, backed by a chorus of Seraphim who continuously sang His praise. "This generally involves being a good person, and making at least one genuine attempt to benefit humanity over the course of your painfully short lives."

President McHobo

An old dictionary definition of hobo is "one who wanders from place to place without a permanent home or a means of livelihood." Historically, the lifestyle of hobos required that they do basic, unskilled manual labor. In today's world that doesn't always have to be the case. Any skill that is in wide demand and does not require an extended time commitment can "work" for the "new hobo." As long as you can advertise your services and earn people's trust (ideally through references) and take their money, you can do anything.

Nazi link in 'plot to assassinate Obama'

All three belong to Aryan Nations, according to Victor Ross, the police chief in Glendale, a suburb of Denver where one of the suspects was arrested. The other two were held in Aurora, another suburb.

...

In the back of the vehicle, officers found two high-powered rifles, one with telescopic sights, a spotting scope, a flak jacket, camouflage clothing, a bulletproof vest, boxes of ammunition, three fake identity cards, two wigs, two walkie-talkies and a quantity of the drug methamphetamine, a form of speed known as crystal meth.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

These guys were not assassins, but they sure as hell are starting to look like the designated patsies.

Stupid Is NOT Going To End Until There Is A Huge Crash

Well, well, well, Georgia and their Zionist West backers are still provoking the Russian Bear. A *really* stupid idea. I think I will vacation West of where I am rather than East. I was thinking about checking out Sochi where the 2014 Olympic games are to be held but will pass on that for now. I do not want to be anywhere around the kill zone when the Bear decides he has had enough of the Zionist West bullshit in Georgia.

Russia: NATO interference means war

In an interview with the Russian newspaper Vremya Novostei, Dmitry Rogozin, warned that any NATO attack on the Moscow-backed regions would "mean a declaration of war on Russia."

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Now, before you all go get bent out of shape, remember that this is merely Russia replaying back to us the Kennedy Doctrine, in which John F. Kennedy told Russia that any attack on any western hemisphere nation would be viewed as an attack on the United States itself.

Russia is just doing a "sauce for the goose" moment.

That's it, the levis. So, we have to shift the blame for this onto someone else or we can kiss off the White House and all of Congress for a long time, so .... any way we can claim the Russians built a secret hurricane machine in Cuba and attacked us?" -- Official White Horse Souse

ABC producer arrested

An ABC News producer was arrested Wednesday outside the Brown Palace Hotel as he attempted to chronicle attendees at a private breakfast held by a Democratic Party campaign committee.

ABC said in a statement that Asa Eslocker and a camera crew were "attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting."

"We're getting under their skin, I think," said Brian Ross, ABC News correspondent whose "Money Trail" reports are running every night this week and next from both nominating conventions.

Now you will discover the definitive truth about 9/11 and learn why even the most popular movies on the subject have failed to address the evidence exhaustively presented in this video. The facts will make it abundantly clear that the so-called 9/11 “Truth” movement has been infiltrated and is ultimately controlled by the same criminals group who masterminded the attacks.

Gustav May Rival Katrina as It Advances Toward Gulf of Mexico

U.S. oil and natural gas producers are beginning evacuations in the Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Storm Gustav, which may become the costliest hurricane since Katrina and Rita in 2005, heads toward the region.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Three years ago, at the end of August, we saw Hurricane Katrina slam into New Orleans. Because levee maintenance had been deferred in order to pay for the war Bush started with his lies, there was massive flooding. Because the Louisiana National Guard was in Iraq at the time of the disaster, there was no local response to the disaster. We all recall how Bush simply sat and waited and hoped it would all go away while the ex horse show manager floundered around, and it became known that the GOP donor who landed the contract to prepare an emergency plan for New Orleans never actually delivered one.

Indeed the total ineptitude shown in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina raised suspicions regarding what appeared to be the swift response to 9-11 by the Federal Government, suspicions which were confirmed when it became known that FEMA had actually been in position in New York the night before the attacks.

But I digress.

In the WRH LIBRARY menu in the left menu bar, I have added a special flashback category for Hurricane Katrina for those who don't clearly recall what a "Charlie Foxtrot" it all was.

So, here we are three years later. Once more a major storm aims at the American heartland, and at the lifeblood of war, oil. For those who imagine that there is a god or gods directing the universe, they have to wonder if maybe Bush lied when he claimed that God was telling him to start all these wars.

But for those of us with a more scientific background, the big question is, has the US Government learned from their past mistake? Are the New Orleans levees now able to deal with a major storm? Are the pumping stations all repaired and in good working order? Is there an emergency plan? Will it work? Are the necessarily supplies and manpower in place?

Or did the Bush administration shrug their shoulders and say, "Well, THAT'S not likely to happen again while we are in office?"

Culver City Music Blogger Arrested by FBI

Local music blogger, Kevin Cogill, 27, at Antiquiet streamed nine unreleased Guns N' Roses songs from the album Chinese Democracy back in June. It was a pretty big deal: fans have been waiting for this album for about 14 years now. That excitement led to so much traffic, his site crashed.

Then the FBI got involved (and many media outlets), who he has been in touch with since the whole thing started. But this morning he was arrested and is expected in court later today.

The bankers have spread their credit-based system across the world by catering to basic human needs and ambition and greed; and while human needs can be satisfied, ambition and greed cannot—and the bankers' least of all.

Companies Tap Pension Plans To Fund Executive Benefits

At a time when scores of companies are freezing pensions for their workers, some are quietly converting their pension plans into resources to finance their executives' retirement benefits and pay.

In recent years, companies from Intel Corp. to CenturyTel Inc. collectively have moved hundreds of millions of dollars of obligations for executive benefits into rank-and-file pension plans. This lets companies capture tax breaks intended for pensions of regular workers and use them to pay for executives' supplemental benefits and compensation.

What reporters are doing at the DNC

14,000 are wearing terrible suits.

7,500 aren’t doing much at all. This isn’t surprising. Only a small number of reporters actually have a reason to be here. The rest are conventioneering—seeing old friends, eating Democratic-themed menu items (“Barack Obama’s Turkey Chili”) in pandering local restaurants, brandishing their press passes at all comers, looking for free things, and spending about 14 percent of their time trying to rustle up enough stories to justify their presence to their editors.

The recording is titled, “The WTC-10-5-the-message-about-the-remote-controlled-plane.” In the mélange of scratchy voices bumping each other off and on, around minute three, the words “remote controlled-plane” bump through clearly, are interrupted, and finally assert quite clearly again that “there’s a big truck on King Street with the mural of an airplane painted on it diving into New York City and exploding.” It was later noted “King Street between 6th and 7th Avenues,” about a mile north of WTC, which was in direct line of sight from King St. and 6th Avenue.

Battle Over Faked Holocaust Memoir in Mass. Court

It was a shock to Misha Defonseca's readers this year when she admitted that the best-selling story of her tortured childhood during the Holocaust was false, but her U.S. publisher saw it as an opportunity to undo a stinging, 7-year-old court judgment.

Jane Daniel says she never would have been ordered to pay Defonseca and her ghost writer $32.4 million over her handling of profits from "Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust Years" had the jury known the book was filled with lies.

BLACK RASPBERRIES SLOW CANCER BY ALTERING HUNDREDS OF GENES

New research strongly suggests that a mix of preventative agents, such as those found in concentrated black raspberries, may more effectively inhibit cancer development than single agents aimed at shutting down a particular gene.

“We have clearly shown that berries, which contain a variety of anticancer compounds, have a genome-wide effect on the expression of genes involved in cancer development,” says principal investigator Gary D. Stoner, a professor of pathology, human nutrition and medicine who studies dietary agents for the prevention of esophageal cancer.

Rice calls for Israel to stop building in West Bank

At a press conference with Israeli Foreign Minister, and future candidate for the premiership, Tzipi Livni, Secretary Rice said "I think it's no secret, and I have said it to my Israeli counterparts, that I don't think that settlement activity is helpful. In fact, what we need now are steps that enhance confidence between the parties and anything that undermines confidence between the parties ought to be avoided".

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Apparently, Secretary Rice continues to labor under the delusion of believing that the Israeli politicians are actually listening to, and care about, anything she says..

The only things the Israeli governmental structure cares about are the continuation of US monetary and defense aid, coupled with expanding its territory by continuing to encroach upon and occupy other peoples' land.

Secretary Rice hasn't noticed that Israeli government officials make nice-sounding noises while she is in Jerusalem, only to spit at the place where she was standing the minute she leaves.

Russia says number of NATO ships in Black Sea increasing

A Russian naval official reported an increase in NATO warships near the Georgian coast on Wednesday.

“According to our information, NATO ships are in the Black Sea and their numbers are increasing,” said Vice Adm. Sergei Menyailo, commander of the Novorossiisk naval base.

Russia is concerned that NATO is continuing to build up its forces in the Black Sea. The military alliance announced its decision to deliver humanitarian aid to Georgia after the conclusion of hostilities between Tbilisi and Moscow over breakaway South Ossetia on August 12.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

One has to wonder: is this truly about "delivering humanitarian aid", or stoking a confrontation?

If this is truly about delivering aid, why all the military hardware??

Israel arrests peace activist for entering Gaza

Police on Tuesday arrested an Israeli peace activist who had sailed to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip to challenge Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave.

They accused Jeff Halper, who also has U.S. citizenship, of violating a ban on Israelis entering Gaza.

Halper was among 44 "Free Gaza" activists from 17 countries who sailed in two boats from Cyprus to the Gaza Strip on Saturday in defiance of the blockade.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Apparently the Israeli government just couldn't help itself on this, so they had to arrest the guy with dual Israeli/US citizenship, to make an "example" out of him.

If they bring this man to trial, this knee-jerk reaction on the part of the Israeli government will simply make a martyr out of Halper. Halpert won't be on trial here; for the world, it will be Israel on trial for its treatment of Gazan Palestinians.

It will also solidify the notion that the Israeli government doesn't want thinking, compassionate Israelis to actually witness the very real - and horrendous -consequences of the siege of Gaza for Gazan Palestinians.

Additionally, such a trial will just make the world look more closely at why this man and his compatriots felt morally obliged to do what they did in this humanitarian relief effort.

The Future of Death at the Pentagon

After all, this is just the way the Pentagon operates, whatever changes or budget cuts come down the pike. Four years later, plenty of people have written about various DARPA projects, but most still fail to ask the most salient question: Why does the U.S. government foster unfettered, blue-skies creativity only in the context of lethal technologies (or those that, indirectly, enhance lethality by aiding the functioning of the armed forces)?

The Trilateral Commission was founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller as an off-shoot of the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR).

Soon the membership of the Commission had grown to 300 members, including prominent political figures like Zbigniew Brzezinski. Most members of the Trilateral Commission are bankers, media moguls, or corporate CEOs, primarily from North America, Europe and Japan, while all members of the CFR are U.S. Citizens.

U.S. boy in Afghan custody likely terror suspect's son

An 11-year-old boy detained with a Pakistani woman accused of trying to kill U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan is believed to be her son, U.S. prosecutors said in a court letter obtained on Tuesday.

U.S.-trained neuroscientist and al Qaeda suspect Aafia Siddiqui, 36, was arrested in Afghanistan in mid-July and flown to New York earlier this month to be charged with attempting to kill and assault U.S. soldiers.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The details of what this woman was supposed to have done are still very unclear.

Notice that in the second paragraph she is charged with "attempting to kill and assault US soldiers", emphasis on attempting.

One thing is clear. Apparently, the days of Abu Ghraib are over, where parents were forced to watch the torture and humiliation of their children to get them to say what their interrogators wanted to hear are over; now, the US simply imprisons kids as "leverage" to get their parents to say whatever the interrogators want them to hear.

Austin Swarner left high school to care for his mother while she fought a losing battle with cancer. Tony Brown wanted to begin supporting himself and left two classes shy of a diploma. Haelee Holden got tired of trying to make it through school while flipping burgers until 1 a.m.

But the U.S. Army, eager to fill its ranks amid wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, doesn't see them as dropouts. They are recruits who only need a GED before they're ready to begin basic training.

And so, the Army formally opens its first prep school Wednesday.

A message of hate and threats, just the type of tactics Alex warned that they would use in the days prior to the DNC on his radio show. It sounds less like a message from a truther, and more like a message from a provocateur, similar to the guys caught at the SPP meeting in Canada last year, they turned out to be cops dressed up like anarchists armed with rocks ready to incite a riot.

Fire Fighters For 9-11 Truth

If you think the media or our government has given us the answers, think again. If you think this can’t happen again, think again. Seven years later most Americans haven’t even heard of Tower 7. Seven years later, most Americans don’t know thousands more of those rescue workers are sick, and many are dying from their exposures at Ground Zero. Seven years later, the FBI still hasn’t listed Osama Bin Laden as “wanted” for the 9/11 attacks. This is incredible–they are the lead investigators, and they don’t have enough evidence to put him on the “most wanted” list for those attacks?
