Firm with Saudi Arabian ties works on Air Force One, other VIP jets.

Along with Air Force One, GDC Technics services the E-4B, which serves as an aerial national command post “in case of national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers,” according to the Air Force. The E-4B is also known as the Doomsday Machine.

Some possible implications for 9/11 here, though supposedly this firm only got control of the contract in 2013. But it still shows the insane level of influence that freaking horrible Saudi Arabia has over the US.

"How Secretary of State Clinton Enabled the Coup in Honduras"

Today, the rule of law in Honduras still has not recovered from the coup that Secretary Clinton helped enable. That's a key reason that refugees have fled Honduras to the United States, only to find themselves hunted by the Department of Homeland Security raids that Secretary Clinton supported before she opposed them.

Truly horrible what those refugees have gone through, and how Clinton doesn't seem to give one shit about them. Or Obama, for that matter.

NY Times' penetrating look at the heroin epidemic gets the cause and solution all wrong:

It is undeniable: there has been profound, systematic deception by the US government to inflate estimates of the amount of heroin coming from Mexico and Colombia, presumably to conceal the actual origin of most US heroin, and possibly to protect its means of entry into the US. We know where and how to look for heroin. Afghanistan and Myanmar are the world's #1 and #2 producers, accounting for over 95% of world production. Historically, heroin bound for the US leaves these countries by air. There are a manageable number of flights departing Afghanistan and Myanmar. We could put all the needed personnel in place, today, to fully inspect every flight and every airport. The fact that we have looked the other way and pointed in the wrong direction is itself the smoking gun.

The Malheur Rebellion and Russian Uranium Conspiracy-- this was new to me. But like most right-wing conspiracies, it lacks a certain logical cohesion, and ultimately, it covers up for corporate evil.

The connections between the insurrection and dangerous right-wing groups, religious extremists, and white supremacists have been exposed. The real financial and political interests behind the Malheur insurrection have been clearly revealed by their own activities over the last 6 weeks. They include western state legislators and federal representatives that have an agenda of privatizing public lands so that it would be easier for companies to usurp people from the land - ranchers, dirt-bikers, dirt-bags, or First Peoples - to make way for extractive industries. In the end, the uranium conspiracy theorists and I don’t really have anything in common. It seems in reality, they were simply lied to, fooled, or tricked into dangerous work and rhetoric that didn’t benefit them at all.
