How Much More Shredding Can the Constitution Take?

The 2012 NDAA Shreds the Constitution

RIP John Fitzgerald Kennedy—The Last President of the United States

By The Anonymous Physicist

This past week was the 48^th anniversary of the American regime’s murder of President Kennedy. As Spooked was away, please forgive this post being a few days late.

On the anniversary that they took YOU, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, from all of us,

for

YOU abrogated American hegemony over the world with your remarkable June 1963 “Peace Speech.” Perhaps the greatest speech ever by an American President.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUjJa9jnynA
[Now they give Nobel Peace Prizes to a CIA NOC who promises perennial war.]

YOU refused to go to war in Vietnam, Laos, Cuba. YOU refused to do the pre-emptive “big one” they wanted also. YOU swore “after re-election, I will smash the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the wind.” You also took on the Federal Reserve and issued “US Notes”.

YOU told the country that the secret societies controlled the country and the world within your first months in office. Do the ignoramuses dare call YOU a “conspiracy “theorist” or “nutjob”? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhZk8ronces

YOU were dedicated to improving all Americans’ lives, not destroying the poor and middle class and making the very wealthy even wealthier.

And YOU did so much more. All the while they lie about you and what you were doing.

And for all this good YOU did or tried to do, YOU were murdered by your own supposed protector.

The above gif is one of the best versions of the Zapruder film, ALL of which have been altered in many ways. But the alterations were primitive in those days. These alterations include missing frames, such as immediately after SS Agent Greer kills Kennedy frames are missing that contained gun exhaust, the film is a dupe of itself—which was made to give the illusion of constant motion, when all eyewitnesses said Greer brought the limo to a virtual standstill. And numerous things are painted in, in some frames of the Z film. This includes: “the extra hands of Greer”, the blood splatter of impact, and the missing back of Kennedy’s head after the fatal shot. There is also doctoring regarding Kellerman’s head to hide part of the gun in Greer’s hand. But you can see in this gif video as the gun is brought up in Greer’s left hand and held near his right temple before firing.

Jackie Kennedy defamed Connally for all time as being involved in JFK murder when she said that he cried out, "My God they're trying to kill us all, [instead of just Kennedy]. Earlier in the Z film, you can see Jackie looking to Connally for assistance as Connally had turned to stare at the intended victim. Connally’s exclamation makes clear that he was pissed that he too was shot, as he likely was assured this would not happen. Indeed at the hotel the night before, there was an infamous shouting incident with Kennedy and Johnson as Johnson wanted Connally to be exchanged with Senator Yarborough in the next limo; and this demand was not granted by JFK.

This video has the following motorcycle cop’s Dictaphone belt recording added to the Z film video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62sT13AAIag

Again at youtube, many are posting versions of this with the correct synchronization deliberately altered so as NOT to coincide with the actual firing of Greer’s gun killing Kennedy. Also listen for the shot and see the timing that Greer had turned earlier and accidentally shot Connally. Gov Connally— who was LBJ’s crony and was in on it— but was told sharpshooters would not hit him. When he gets shot by Greer, he turns to look at Greer reflexively, and then he and his wife duck down to give Greer line of sight to finish the job.

For showing this video, and detailing that SS Agent Greer shot Connally and Killed President Kennedy, nearly two decades ago in public, I was subsequently brutally assaulted and later poisoned with mercury.

Now many of us know the truth of the Govt’s murder of John Kennedy, and will never rest until justice for you is attained, or until we too are gone.

For YOU, John Kennedy, were one of the very few leaders who was not owned and controlled by the very worst elements on our planet.

With profound sadness— for YOU also were the young father of two young children, when your “protector” splattered your brains onto your wife’s face in public, and they took half your life span,

I say to YOU:

RIP, great man of peace, great patriot, great human being, for YOU took them all on, knowing what they would likely do to you.

For YOU were and may always be…

The Last President of the United States.

And perhaps also the closest our species has ever had to being a true savior of our species, from those in control.

RIP, JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY

More Children Killed by the Nobel Peace Prize Winner

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Six children were among seven civilians killed in a NATO airstrike in southern Afghanistan, Afghan officials said Thursday.

The deaths occurred on Wednesday in the Zhare district of Kandahar Province, an area described by coalition forces as largely pacified in recent months, and two insurgents were also killed, the Afghan officials said.

A spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, Master Sgt. Christopher DeWitt, said the authorities were aware of the strike and had sent a team to the district to investigate. He said the assistance force had not previously issued a news release on the deaths.

Zalmai Ayoubi, a spokesman for the governor of Kandahar, said that a NATO reconnaissance aircraft spotted five militants planting mines in the village of Siacha, in the Zhare district, on Wednesday. The plane targeted the insurgents, killing two and wounding a third, and then pursued the other two suspects as they carried their wounded comrade away.

“The plane chased them, the insurgents entered a street where children were playing and, as a result of its shooting, seven people have been killed, including six children, and two girls also have been injured,” Mr. Ayoubi said. The victims were members of two families.

Abdul Samad, an uncle of four of the children who were killed, disputed the government’s version of the attack. He said his relatives were working in fields near their village when they were attacked without warning by an aircraft.

His brother-in-law, Mohammad Rahim, 50, had his two sons and three daughters with him. They were between 4 and 12 years old and all were killed, except an 8-year-old daughter who was badly wounded, Mr. Samad said.

The Improbability of Piloting UA175

Officially, UA175 was piloted into the south WTC tower by a complete novice Boeing 767 pilot, Marwan al-Shehhi.

It was flown for the last few seconds of its existence at approximately 540 mph, and right before impact, the plane made a sharp bank to hit the south tower nearly dead on. The south tower was 208 feet wide, and the jet had a wingspan of 156 feet. There was therefore only about 50 feet leeway for a complete dead-on hit.

There has been a lot of discussion about whether a speed of 540 mph is even achievable near sea level with the type of turbofan engines that UA175 had. The official story thus holds that the plane was coming out of a "power dive", in order to reach this extreme speed. Nonetheless, 540 mph appears to be over the maximal operating velocity of a Boeing 767 at 1000 foot altitude.

The other issue is how capable Marwan al-Shehhi was of piloting a 767 to its target in the first place. The official story holds that once a plane is in the air, the only tricky part is landing, and that guiding it up and down, left and right, is not particularly hard. There is probably some truth to this argument, although one could see that an inexperienced pilot could easily lose control of the aircraft if there was too much maneuvering involved. Further, relatively easy piloting would only be applicable to ideal flying conditions-- not a life-or-death situation, where the plane was at an almost unmanageable speed. We are expected to believe that this amateur pilot was able to precisely aim the jet AFTER coming out of a stomach-churning, heart-stopping power dive.

Thus, the critical point remains that it is ridiculously improbable -- essentially impossible-- for an inexperienced pilot, under extreme duress, to steer a large jet plane, flying at or over maximal possible speed, to hit a very narrow target, within a few hundred foot altitude window.

Yet, people still believe the official story.

WHY????

The Latest, Greatest Horrible Idea from Congress

It's really really terrible:

The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. Even Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) raised his concerns about the NDAA detention provisions during last night’s Republican debate. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself.

The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which will be on the Senate floor on Monday. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing.

I know it sounds incredible. New powers to use the military worldwide, even within the United States? Hasn’t anyone told the Senate that Osama bin Laden is dead, that the president is pulling all of the combat troops out of Iraq and trying to figure out how to get combat troops out of Afghanistan too? And American citizens and people picked up on American or Canadian or British streets being sent to military prisons indefinitely without even being charged with a crime. Really? Does anyone think this is a good idea? And why now?

The answer on why now is nothing more than election season politics. The White House, the Secretary of Defense, and the Attorney General have all said that the indefinite detention provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act are harmful and counterproductive. The White House has even threatened a veto. But Senate politics has propelled this bad legislation to the Senate floor.

But there is a way to stop this dangerous legislation. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is offering the Udall Amendment that will delete the harmful provisions and replace them with a requirement for an orderly Congressional review of detention power. The Udall Amendment will make sure that the bill matches up with American values.

In support of this harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield” and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial “American citizen or not.” Another supporter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) also declared that the bill is needed because “America is part of the battlefield.”

The solution is the Udall Amendment; a way for the Senate to say no to indefinite detention without charge or trial anywhere in the world where any president decides to use the military. Instead of simply going along with a bill that was drafted in secret and is being jammed through the Senate, the Udall Amendment deletes the provisions and sets up an orderly review of detention power. It tries to take the politics out and put American values back in.

In response to proponents of the indefinite detention legislation who contend that the bill “applies to American citizens and designates the world as the battlefield,” and that the “heart of the issue is whether or not the United States is part of the battlefield,” Sen. Udall disagrees, and says that we can win this fight without worldwide war and worldwide indefinite detention.

The senators pushing the indefinite detention proposal have made their goals very clear that they want an okay for a worldwide military battlefield, that even extends to your hometown. That is an extreme position that will forever change our country.

Now is the time to stop this bad idea. Please urge your senators to vote YES on the Udall Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act.

Bring the 9/11 Perps to Justice!

We are the 99.999%!!!

War Criminal Watch: Happy Thanksgiving!

Bush and Blair found guilty of war crimes for Iraq attack

A tribunal in Malaysia, spearheaded by that nation’s former Prime Minister, yesterday found George Bush and Tony Blair guilty of “crimes against peace” and other war crimes for their 2003 aggressive attack on Iraq, as well as fabricating pretexts used to justify the attack. The seven-member Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal — which featured an American law professor as one of its chief prosecutors — has no formal enforcement power, but was modeled after a 1967 tribunal in Sweden and Denmark that found the U.S. guilty of a war of aggression in Vietnam, and, even more so, after the U.S.-led Nuremberg Tribunal held after World War II. Just as the U.S. steadfastly ignored the 1967 tribunal on Vietnam, Bush and Blair both ignored the summons sent to them and thus were tried in absentia.

The tribunal ruled that Bush and Blair’s name should be entered in a register of war criminals, urged that they be recognized as such under the Rome Statute, and will also petition the International Criminal Court to proceed with binding charges. Such efforts are likely to be futile, but one Malaysian lawyer explained the motives of the tribunal to The Associated Press: “For these people who have been immune from prosecution, we want to put them on trial in this forum to prove that they committed war crimes.” In other words, because their own nations refuse to hold them accountable and can use their power to prevent international bodies from doing so, the tribunal wanted at least formal legal recognition of these war crimes to be recorded and the evidence of their guilt assembled. That’s the same reason a separate panel of this tribunal will hold hearings later this year on charges of torture against Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and others.

Internet Censorship in China

I haven't posted for a while as I was on a business trip to mainland China. The trip was very interesting and I was more impressed with the place than I expected. One pretty interesting thing was to see what internet sites worked there. I had internet access, but couldn't access certain sites. The sites that were blocked just gave error messages or never loaded, there was no explicit message saying blocked.

Here's what I couldn't access:
Blogger.com (for this blog)
Blogspot.com blogs
Wordpress.com blogs
Youtube
Facebook
Twitter

Curiously, I could load the Democratic Underground main page but none of the links there worked and I couldn't open any other page on the site.

Here are sites that worked (not necessarily a complete list):
Any mainstream news site (NY Times, BBC, LA Times)
Talking Points Memo
Rawstory
Google
Blogs such as Balloon-Juice that didn't have blogspot or Wordpress
Infowars.com
911blogger
Wonkette
Hotmail
GlobalResearch
------------------

Basically, the pattern I could see was that any site that let ordinary people freely express themselves, was blocked. Conspiracy stuff was ok. I guess their main goal was not to let the Chinese people have a place where they could open complain about the govt or organize, best I can figure.

------------------

And obviously, while I was away, full-on fascism blossomed in America.

A Children’s Treasury of American Cops Brutally Attacking Citizens

How did America’s heavily militarized security guards for the 1% spend the work week? Oh, just pepper-spraying sitting students in the face, macing old ladies, stomping peaceful protesters, yanking women around by their ponytails, destroying libraries and bloodying the faces of America’s citizens. You know, what they’ve dreamed of doing for decades.

Remember the fat, smug face under that helmet and behind that ridiculous mustache in the picture above. This happened yesterday at UC Davis, a California college in a delightful, sustainable little town between San Francisco and Sacramento — the kind of place earnest liberals move to, when they have kids, so they can all ride around on the town’s famous network of bike paths. It’s a well-off town, mostly, and it takes quite a lot of tax money to keep a bunch of vicious thugs overfed and dressed like junior Darth Vaders with their portable hard-ons, on the off-chance some college kids might one day peacefully sit outside to protest this nation’s revolting descent.

One scene, one town. How many of these scenes have slipped by during these very busy weeks of protests and cop attacks? Up the I-5 in Portland, the stereotypical Brooklyn of the Pacific Northwest is apparently home to an absolutely insane paramilitary gang of thugs who cannot contain their glee at finally being able to go batshit on the people of Portland, with truncheons.

The End of the Internet

Despite all the many contradictions in what they say, and their general idiocy, support for laws for the govt to be able to shut down large parts of the internet on a whim seems to be growing.

There’s suddenly a whole lot of “bipartisan support” for a supposed anti-piracy law that will actually let the U.S. Government force American Internet providers to shut down all access to any website immediately. Why might that be a popular idea, in Congress, right about now? And why are these anti-government Republicans like Congressman Lamar Smith of Texas behind such a heavy handed Big Brother off-switch on the entire Internet? And why is Joe Biden apparently strongly against such legislation, even though the Obama Administration supports it fully? Oh, right, because Biden is talking about how other countries shouldn’t do what the United States is about to do.

The conveniently rare bipartisan supporters of the SOPA/Protect IP censorship bills claim it’s to protect Republican interests such as “Hollywood movie studios” and “Hollywood media companies,” but in fact the “Protect IP” and “SOPA” bills actually let the government order any website accused of illegal distribution of intellectual property to be shut down by all American Internet service providers. Hey, is there a Kuwaiti guy putting a spam link to his Russian movie download site in the comments of, say, OccupyWallSt.org? Well just shut down OccupyWallSt.org, it’s that easy.

Or any anti-govt or conspiracy site, obviously. At least Google and Facebook are against the law, for now...

The Elites, Pedophilia, and Stanley Kubrick's Films

Pretty interesting discussion with Jay Weidner:


Kubrick may well be the most important conspiracy-related major director.

The only thing that really bugged me was Weidner saying we actually secretly went to the moon, and that there is a secret space program, even though the Apollo missions were faked. Why is Weidner giving misinfo/disinfo?

"American Stonehenge"-- the Georgia Guidestones

I'd heard of the guidestones before, I think as a rock band. But I never heard of the actual stones before. There is of course no shortage of conspiracy theorizing about the stones, and their message.

A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian.

Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
Unite humanity with a living new language.
Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
Balance personal rights with social duties.
Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.

33 of the Day: Police Clear Zuccotti Park of Protesters

The police commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly, said that nearly 200 people had been arrested, 142 in the park at 50 to 60 in the streets nearby. Most were held on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, among them City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, a Democrat who represents northern Manhattan. He was with a group near the intersection of Broadway and Vesey Street that was attempting to link up with the protesters in the park. The group tried to push through a line of officers trying to prevent people from reaching the park.

The operation in and around the park struck a blow to the Occupy Wall Street movement, which saw the park as its spiritual heart. The sweep was intended to empty the birthplace of a protest movement that has inspired hundreds of tent cities from coast to coast. On Monday in Oakland, Calif., hundreds of police officers raided the main encampment there, arresting 33 people.

Cheney on the Run

Just two days before a scheduled visit from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the Miller Center at the University of Virginia announced on Monday that Cheney would be postponing his visit to talk about his new book, “In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir.” Originally, Cheney had been scheduled to visit with his daughter, Liz Cheney, who co-authored the book with her father, but that later became a solo visit from the former VP.

According to Miller Center Director of Communications Kristy Schantz, Cheney postponed his visit for "personal reasons" and plans to reschedule sometime early next year. Schantz said the last minute cancelation [sic] had nothing to do with a planned protest outside the Miller Center, or a request from local anti-war activist David Swanson to local government and police officials that Cheney be arrested for "conspiracy to torture."

Quick Hits

Apparently, magic silver paint kept the Apollo cameras from overheating on the moon!

33 of the day-- "Over the last year, the Obama administration has aggressively pushed a $433-million plan to buy an experimental smallpox drug, despite uncertainty over whether it is needed or will work."

1,121 out of 2,747 WTC victims still have not even one fragment of identifiable DNA.

Somewhat interesting-- videos made by the CIA to educate President Ronald Reagan about the Russians. I only watched the first one on the space program. Funny how the CIA complains of the USSR space program being secretly military in nature, but then at the end, they mention how the US space program is 50% military in nature (something people don't normally mention with regard to NASA). There is one on Chernobyl that looks intriguing, but I only watched a bit of it.

"Deep" Thought of the Day-- humans spend a lot of time thinking about the surface of the earth, the atmosphere and even outer space. What seems to get very little thought is the thousands and thousands of miles of earth INSIDE this planet-- just VAST amounts of matter that we have little idea about.

Bush the Torturer

This picture does an amazing job of bringing home just how nasty what the Bush administration did, just by showing Bush doing the dirty work. It's one thing to see a nameless CIA thug waterboarding someone, but to see Bush do it, shows how clearly the USA did it-- in our fucking name.

The only problem with this picture is that Cheney is missing, since he clearly was a major force behind the torture.

Dying Empire Watch

Paul V. Kane, a former international security fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, and a Marine who served in Iraq, proposes that the US sell out Taiwan to mainland China, in exchange for a nice decrease in US debt.

In the sense of general/superficial appearances, this seems pretty damn sad and venal. On the other hand, if one doesn't think that China is a horrible and brutal country, this could be seen as a move that would decrease tensions and increase peace and really save a lot of money and lives. The main problem is that the Taiwanese don't seem to be too happy about it:

"Sickeningly Unjust Imprisonment of Innocent People In Response to Terrorism" Watch

"In the Name of the Father" is the true story of how an entire Irish family, including a middle aged lady and her children, were imprisoned for 15 years for an IRA bombing, despite being completely innocent.

I stumbled on this in Netflix, and had forgotten about since seeing it back when it came out in 1993. It's amazingly similar to what the US has done to hundreds of people since 2001, and tortured and imprisoned them at Guantanamo. I'm surprised I haven't heard more about this movie, in reference to what the US has done since 9/11. But basically, the British set the stage for insanely fucked police policies in response to terrorism.

Flight 11 Passenger Laura Lee Morabito, Her Wedding Ring and Pepper Spray: Another Bullcrap Story We're Supposed to Believe

There are conflicting stories about her remains:

In some stories, the ring is still on her hand, in some it is found within one week of 9/11, in some it is found in 2007. Some stories say it took six years to identify her because older methods of DNA testing needed a bigger sample, like a finger big enough to hold a ring wouldn't be enough. Her Husband Mark says there were "a lot" of remains, and one story says her "whole hand" and the ring were recovered together.

Apart from the contradictions about how much of the hand/finger they found, and how they made the identifications. the thing that really got me about this story is this:

Laura Lee Morabito, 34, had been sitting next to one of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, and he pepper sprayed her during the siege, her husband, Mark, told NBC 3-TV in Syracuse on Tuesday.

How could he-- or anyone-- POSSIBLY know this?

If you google "morabito pepper spray", you get a bunch of articles wirtten by someone named EV Morabito, who examines the use of pepper spray by the police. For instance:

Morabito, E.V., Doerner, B. (1997), "Police use of less-than-lethal force: oleoresin ... Journal of Police Strategy & Management, Vol. 20 No.4, pp.680-97. ...

What are the odds? I wonder if Mark Morabito is related to EV Morabito, and had just heard a lot about pepper spray over the years, and so embellished Laura Lee's story a bit. No huge crime, I suppose, if that were the case, but still, another 9/11 lie propagated by the media.

Measuring Moonquakes

Officially, the Apollo astronauts (AstroNOTs) left several seismographs on the moon surface, that were used to measure moonquakes. It seems several scientific papers were written on data from these devices.

If we assume that no men have ever landed on the moon, where did the data come from to analyze "moonquakes"? I guess there are a few possibilities:

1) the data was completely fabricated by someone at NASA

2) the seismographs were actually reading earth quakes, but were analyzed in the context of moon distances, topology, guesses about moon geology

3) seismographs were placed on the moon by unmanned missions to the moon

4) some bizarre, extremely covert deal with non-human entities who gave us seismograph data from the moon.

Any thoughts out there?

"Leaving Iraq, U.S. Fears New Surge of Qaeda Terror"

Damn, I think the NYTimes just reprints the same frigging piece every couple of weeks.

Classic BROKEN RECORD PROPAGANDA-- this has the same effect as the boy who cried wolf, except that here, there was never really any real wolf (i.e. real Al Qaeda in Iraq). Also worth remembering that the terrorism only started in Iraq, after the US illegally invaded.

Hoi Polloi's "VICSIM Report"

Okay, I am intrigued. Though, it's a huge file (pdf linked at the link) and studying this will take some serious time. I'm already committed to a couple of other projects, besides my work. But I will try to go through the report.

Sabotaging OWS: NYPD Sending Drunks and Unsavory Characters to Zuccotti Park

The “model” civilization that’s sprung up at Zuccotti is itself increasingly divided between the stakeholders in the nascent movement who feel invested in the emerging economic, social and cultural causes of “the 99%,” and hangers-on, including a fast-growing contingent of lawbreakers and lowlifes, many of whom seem to have come to Zuccotti in the last week with the cynical encouragement of the NYPD.

(snip)
The watch, though, has only powers of persuasion and pressure to try and enforce the rules, and no way to remove people from a public park. The police, whom many occupiers see as the enemy and who work under a mayor who’s made no secret of his distaste for the occupiers, have little reason to help them maintain order, and rarely seem to have entered the park over the last week for anything short of an assault. When officers have gone in, a wave of people carrying drugs (or with other reasons to fear arrest) moves away from them while others circle tightly around, cameras out. Even when organizers have requested their intervention, police enter to a mixed chorus of “brutality” and “pig” calls side by side with chanted reminders that “you are the 99%.”

But while officers may be in a no-win situation, at the mercy of orders carried on shifting political winds and locked into conflict with a so-far almost entirely non-violent protest movement eager to frame the force as a symbol of the oppressive system they’re fighting, the NYPD seems to have crossed a line in recent days, as the park has taken on a darker tone with unsteady and unstable types suddenly seeming to emerge from the woodwork. Two different drunks I spoke with last week told me they’d been encouraged to “take it to Zuccotti” by officers who’d found them drinking in other parks, and members of the community affairs working group related several similar stories they’d heard while talking with intoxicated or aggressive new arrivals.

33 of the Day

The operation to stabilise the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has suffered a setback after officials said they had detected small traces of a radioactive gas that is a byproduct of nuclear fission.

The discovery was made as a nuclear reactor in south-western Japan became the first to start generating electricity following a series of shutdowns in the wake of the 11 March earthquake and tsunami.

The operator of Fukushima Daiichi, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said it had found signs of recent nuclear fission inside the No 2 reactor, one of three at the plant that suffered core meltdown in March.

Japan's nuclear safety agency said the situation was stable and that the small amounts of radioactive material did not present a risk to public health.

The utility dismissed the possibility of a "major criticality accident", in which a sustained nuclear reaction occurs, but has not ruled out localised criticality inside the reactor.

(snip)

Tepco said it had detected low densities of radioactive xenon-133 and -135 in gas samples extracted from the No 2 reactor.

They are actually trying to generate electricity from the plant????

Fake Photos! Vicsims!

It's really odd how some people seem to go seriously nuts when they look at pictures of 9/11 victims, and just can't seem to understand anything about photography or perspective or basic human physiology. This blog post on David Angell is a perfect example.

"Has Capitalism Ever Existed in America?"

By that the author means, pure libertarian free-market paradise capitalism-- and the answer is of course no. It's a good point, and a fun read, until Mr. Vibes gets to talking about his ideal society of libertarianism magic, with no coerced transactions and no government. Which reminded me of a video I watched on Youtube recently of some libertarian dude trying to argue for a libertarian fantasy land of no government and pure free-market competition, and everyone respected each others rights, and there were no wars and evil and people lived in candy cane and lollipop houses. I think it's fine to theorize about this sort of thing, but it's also just a pure fantasy that has no realistic way of ever happening. Which basically sums up libertarianism, imo.

Speaking of libertarianism, Jim Fetzer has a good post discussing the shameful censoring of Ron Paul's campaign by the media.
