Almost as whacko as the rapture-bound Preznit we have in the USA.
---------------
Bush, well, not the best potential face on money we've ever produced, but comparable to Kim Jong-il? Oh, you're making a funny...
Have you ever been in an argument where you won so decisively that you actually wished you'd lost because you had caused so much hurt to your opponent?
Sometimes I think it would have been better if Republicans hadn't been so successful in the last several years. Not because they're so corrupt and malfeasant, that's true of a lot of national-level politicians, but because the left was so easily bruised and distracted.
Would Hannity or Coulter really have been a bother to JFK? They were only a nuisance to Clinton. Now they're knights of evil? They're just dicks, and if you ignore them they'll find someone else to annoy.
As the neocons begin their descent, I implore everyone to demand better than a replacement. Gloat away (it's only fair), but please, can we fight for the real America, instead of pseudo-victimized poster-people...
It's all Clintonista's fault. That rat sold us out to NK. Albright is an evil witch!
Federal Party, Whig Party, Bull Moose Party..... Republican party?
Party on! as in dial on. thank you very much
Party on! as in dial on. thank you very much
I'm so woanly, so woanly.
"As the neocons begin their descent"
Yes - they are desperate and backed against the wall.
They have more to gain by going to war with Iran then by leaving this adminstartion legacy's in Iraq, the housing crash, and the fascist state -
In their minds - "let's give them a show to remember".
UNfortunately the only time americans react is when the price of gas goes up (or down in the case of the up coming elections).
Unfortunately - we are well into the effects of peak oil and have not made the necessary plans - whatever they could be (if any at all).
The central banks, black secret groups (bildebergs, S&B. illum) have accomplished their mission in Iraq...divide and divvy up the worlds 2nd largest oil reserves to private corps.
With Saudi in their pocket and a hardened military presence from the Caspian sea to Dubai...oil for the military industrial war complex has been assured.
Oil for you and me will be too expensive, but when we are forced into conscription - we won't need it anyway, right?
So while it is noble to think of a new american leader being fair and benevelent...it is far too late.
The gig is up.
Buy guns, gold, and freezed dried food.
You think I am kidding - looked to Argentina or Russia as examples - the story of collapse is there as a stark reminder of how "moderately" bad it could get...
looked to the Congo or Nigeria for really bad.
think it can't happen in the USA - yesterday the MCA was signed into law - trashing habeaus corpus.
If you would have said HC would be trashed a year ago- you would have been labeled a "conspriacy theorist"
Well guess what?
Call me alpha - omega - or paint me the color purple...
America will be rolled into the North American Union-
the dollar will vanish and be called the Amero
and you will be seperated from your wives/husbands and children...
you will enslaved to work in only food and energy related fields to keep the military industrial complex running.
Your children will be sent off to "boarding" schools (sex camps) and indoctrinated into the next generation of proles.
You think this can't happen...think again...it is happening right before your eyes.
America is dead and rotting from within.
Regarding Albright, how f'n stupid: sending a Jewish woman to deal with the Arabs. Unbelievable...
Regarding NK, don't worry - we've got scalar weapons, which can disintegrate an entire geographical region *instantly* - no lasers, no missles - just instant destruction.
Scalar weapons
HAARP?
HAARP.net
For those of you pinning all the blame for North Korea's going nuclear on Madeline Albright, I give you...drum roll please...George W Bush, headlining for 8 years only, as the dumbest American President ever elected:
George W. pulled Bandar aside.
"Bandar, I guess you're the best asshole who knows about the world. Explain to me one thing."
"Governor, what is it?"
"Why should I care about North Korea?"
Bandar said he didn't really know. It was one of the few countries that he did not work on for King Fahd.
"I get these briefings on all parts of the world," Bush said, "and everybody is talking to me about North Korea."
"I'll tell you what, Governor," Bandar said. "One reason should make you care about North Korea."
"All right, smart alek," Bush said, "tell me."
"The 38,000 American troops right on the border." ..."If nothing else counts, this counts. One shot across the border and you lose half these people immediately. You lose 15,000 Americans in a chemical or biological or even regular attack. The United State of America is at war instantly."
"Hmmm," Bush said. "I wish those assholes would put things just point-blank to me. I get half a book telling me about the history of North Korea."
"Now I tell you another answer to that. You don't want to care about North Korea anymore?" Bandar asked. The Saudis wanted America to focus on the Middle East and not get drawn into a conflict in East Asia.
"I didn't say that," Bush replied.
"But if you don't, you withdrawl those troops back. Then it becomes a local conflict. Then you have the whole time to decide, 'Should I get involved? Not involved?' Etc."
At that moment, Colin Powell approached.
"Colin," Bush said, "come here. Bandar and I were shooting the bull, just two fighter pilots shooting the bull." He didn't mention the topic.
"Mr. Governor," Bandar said, "General Powell is almost a fighter pilot. He can shoot the bull almost as good as us."
Bob Woodward
State of Denial
2006
"The absolute gem was an interview today on Bloomberg with a knuckle dragger from the trading floor that announced the North Korean test was just a pile of dynamite. This was repeated in one form or another more than 27 times between 9 AM and 4 PM.
The media has successfully spun a nuke into a two inch firecracker. 4.2 on the Richter Scale is one big boom."
Jim Sinclair Oct 10th
Funny you guys bring up that evil jewess albright.
Remember what she said in that interview a few years back when asked if the tens of thousands of childrens deaths in Iraq, due to the sanctions were worth it? Yes, she said.
to bad your not in that group as well!
The whacko has a new allay in Pongyang Diane from ABC "Good Morning America". She is over there paying her respects to the "great leader" at the site of his tomb. All is OK, don't worry about the NK monkeys. Diane likes them.
The guy's not a whacko, he's a strategic genius playing the "whacko" card and everybody's falling for it.
Look at the leverage this basketcase state is getting by pressing the right buttons and going for the achillies heel.
This punk walks up to the house of cards, inhales and looks around, and everybody jumps.
Folks, as I have said before. Our treasonous government is not worried about North Korea, they are no threat to israel.
By all means when it comes to foreign relations, let's listen to that wise owl Jimmy Carter. He's our man for sure. Look at his accomplishments:
1) Allowed Iran to fall to the Mullahs because he thought the Shah was too autocratic (LOL!)
2) Tried to appease the Soviet Union by freezing our missile R&D while that country moved ahead to a new generation of warheads.
3) Gave away the Panama canal, which BTW is now controlled by a Chinese trading company.
4) Cut a deal with North Korea that delayed plutonium reprocessing. Meanwhile the clever pricks started a separate uranium enrichment project and laughed as the Clinton administration helped them pay for it!
You guys want to rewrite history, so go ahead, believe the revisionist nonsense these old fools spew. People like Carter and Albright cannot execute strategic statecraft because they lack resolve. Thay want this country to be loved, not respected. A silly notion IMHO.
Richard,
What you bin smokin?
korea tells china that second test is going forward within a few days to a few weeks.
fox news
This sums it up pretty well:
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/54113
I was wonder who would be the first frothing-at-the-mouth, hyperventilating liberal to say "yeah, but he's not as bad as Bush!"
LOL
Sad and predictable as always.
More pointless garbage from the spitefull pod people.
WWW.HAARP.NET
HAARP Boils the Upper Atmosphere for
Department of Defense?
HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an "ionospheric heater." (The ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere. It ranges between 40 to 60 miles above the surface of the Earth.)
Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antenna send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead.
HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other U.S. military documents put it more clearly -- HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes." Communicating with submarines is only one of those purposes.
"Richard,

Post of the day!
This post truely reflects the level of intellectual inquisition and mastery of the English language most people put forth in day to day conversations, IMing, and blog postings related to global issues of epic proportions.
A total of 5 words (40% mispelled); 7 syllables (should have been 8 if the sentence was written correctly ["have" been (sic)]; and one capitalization error.
Very scary ... whom those who "get it" have to deal with in the coming crash of the human project.
Keep it going BB!! - BTW very orig. handle - did you make that up yourself??
One of those HAARP things for "Department of Defense" purposes might be suddenly increasing the density of the outermost atmosphere.
Think, why is it built in Alaska?
One overt reason:
(a) the magnetic north is closer and there are more magnetic phenomena there, related to the interaction between the Earth and the solar wind
One unstated reason:
(b) What is the ballistic flight path between Kim Jong Evil and, say, Seattle or Silicon Valley? You got it, a great circle trajectory right over Alaska.
ICBM guidance is difficult; it is rocket science after all. In order to work and be accurate they have to have many parameters, such as the exact shape and density of the earth, including miniscule gravity variations, as well as a good knowledge of the properties of the outer atmosphere.
So, if you can, in a matter of hours, change the outer atmosphere quietly (and North Korea doesn't have lots of monitoring satellites) which might upset missile guidance?
I say, crank it up to 11.

well lets not be so bleak.
this is mo better:

I don't think the U.S. with Bush as its Prez should be calling ANY other leader a whacko.
"ICBM guidance is difficult; it is rocket science after all. In order to work and be accurate they have to have many parameters, such as the exact shape and density of the earth, including miniscule gravity variations, as well as a good knowledge of the properties of the outer atmosphere."
So what you're saying in essence is that Kim Jong Il will try to hit Seattle and instead they will make him hit Redmond, WA???
HELL NO ... Seattle MUST GO
Listen it's not Clinton's fault or Jimmy Carter's, or Reagan's or George W. Bush. Who's fault? The damn Russian commies and China commies or put a despot in power and supported him because they thought Communism should be exported in the 50's. Blame Karl Marx (a jew).
"Regarding Albright, how f'n stupid: sending a Jewish woman to deal with the Arabs."
Was that before or after she "found out" she was Jewish?
Anyway, she was better to the Mohammedans than to Orthodox Christians-- bombing ceased on Ramadan in prior operations, but not during Orthodox Easter in Serbia. Her efforts in Serbia gave Kosovar Albanian Muslims a foothold in Europe. Of course our current Secy of State is no prize, either.
HARP smarp, here's the real deal:

This is the prototype system. The Pentagon cover story is that it's for surveilance and tracking, and it does those jobs fairly well. But it can also focus a megawatt of power into a spot one foot in diameter at 300 miles...
My German is awful. About all I can get from that is that it's an experimental radar system.
It looks a lot different than I thought it would, though.
It's all you Brain dead tree huggin, birkenstock wearing, enviro freaks that got us to this point!
You've bastardized and castrated this country to the point that the only Balls left are on the Liberal/Democrat women....if you can call them women!
Someday there will be a payback for your Treason to your own country!
F**K your utopia!

LOL And here I thought the current administration was Republican and because of their majority in congress they have gotten every major law passed they wanted in the past 6 years, and even with that, have totally botched everything up beyond belief.
LOL Yep it's the birkenstock wearing hippies. (Don't see many of those around anymore, you must live in Marin county or something).
Give the guy a break... he's just "so ronrey"
Seriously, the guy is a mad genius, and working together with China to buy China time to transform it's economy from a centrally controlled farmer based economy to a technological, manufacturing juggernaut. All with the money of west!
What wonders a little yellow poontang, and promises of riches will do to make western capitalist sell out their own interest.
Once China successfully migrates from a rural to an urban society, do you really think they won't change the international order to suit their interest?
Hey Kim- do you want to know what I did to your mother last night????
Hhahahhahahahahah

Keep going Anon- I want to hear more you have an interesting point.
Abou China-They are a bunch of low life ill mannered animals.These fools will always have an inferiority comlex to the great Western man. All they have to do is look down their Jockey's and they will know why they are inferior.
Honestly Chinese aren't that different from Americans.
Chinese want prestige and recognition. They are constantly touting their Olympic victories, how great a country China is, etc. This is their way of making up for their lack of big penises.
Americans want prestige and recognition. They are constantly touting their homes, their cars, their kids and all of that. This is their way of making up for their lack of brains.
The difference? There basically is no difference except that China is considered inferior to the U.S.
That pic reminds me of what Michael Jackson is going to look like in a few more years?
Looks like my grandmother...Oy!
day late elvis
For all the ballyhoo surrounding the North Korean admission of a nuclear weapons program in meetings with U.S. officials, one salient fact has been overlooked.
It never happened.
Western news reports repeated endlessly the claims that North Korean officials admitted to a nuclear weapons program in an October 2002 meeting with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly and again during an April 2003 meeting, yet no evidence was presented other than Kelly’s assertions. On this matter, the word of the Bush Administration was accepted as sufficient evidence – the same Bush Administration that has consistently lied about every issue. Citing the issue of a North Korea nuclear weapons program, the Bush Administration deliberately set about creating an international crisis on the Korean peninsula, eventually compelling North Korea to engage in a desperate bluff in hopes of ensuring its survival.
