BRIT UN/IRAN NUKE EXPERT WAS MURDERED

British nuclear expert’s 17th floor UN death plunge ‘was not suicide’

A British nuclear expert who fell from the 17th floor of a United Nations building did not commit suicide and may have been hurled to his death, says a doctor who carried out a second post-mortem examination.

Timothy Hampton, 47, a scientist involved in monitoring nuclear activity, was found dead last week at the bottom of a stairwell in Vienna.

... He had been working for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) at the UN building.

CTBTO staff monitor tremors in countries worldwide to uncover illegal nuclear tests.

It has been suggested that Mr Hampton may have been involved in talks discussing nuclear testing in Iran.

The UN has strongly denied the claims.

TENS OF THOUSANDS AT GAZA ISLAMIC JIHAD RALLY

JP:

Tens of thousands of Islamic Jihad loyalists held a rally in Gaza on Friday to commemorate the group's slain founder. Holding plastic models of rockets and wearing masks and mock suicide bomber's vests, the members chanted "death to Israel" and "Muhammad's army will be back to wipe off the Hebrew state."

ISRAEL CAN'T MAKE PEACE WITH THESE FOLKS AND DEMANDING THAT THEY DO IS ANTISEMITIC.

PAKISTAN COUNTER-OFFENSIVE IN CRITICAL STAGE

GULF NEWS: Soldiers surround major Taliban strongholds; killing over 300 rebels in 15 days

Islamabad: Pakistani troops have surrounded key strongholds of Taliban militants a fortnight after the launch of a military operation in South Waziristan tribal region.

According to a military statement yesterday the operation has entered a crucial phase.

The troops have killed 33 more terrorists, taking the number of insurgents eliminated in 15 days to more than 300.

"The important phase of operations has commenced on all three axes," said the statement issued by the public relations wing of the armed forces.

THE NEXT BIG BUBBLE TO BURST: WIND POWER

TIM/UK: Banks back wind farms revolution

Banks are beginning to reopen for business for big wind farm projects after British Gas owner Centrica secured a £340m loan to help build a £725m site off the Lincolnshire coast.

Centrica would not disclose the terms of the loan from a banking syndicate, but industry observers said it was priced at more favourable rates than last autumn when the recession forced many developers to slash projects.

'This deal is very encouraging and shows banks are becoming more comfortable funding these types of projects,' said a senior City banker.

LENDING & INVESTING LIKE THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO ANOTHER HUGE BUST WHEN OIL IS PROVEN TO BE ABIOTIC AND RENEWABLE AND CO2 BASED AGW IS PROVEN TO BE BULLSHIT AND THE EXPENSIVE ENERGY THESE INVESTMENTS PRODUCE MAKES THEM USELESS AND THEIR COMPANIES BANKRUPT.

Cuba swine flu 'from US tourists'

ERDOGAN: A NUCLEAR-ARMED IRAN IS OKAY

MORE PROOF THAT TURKEY IS NO LONGER AN ALLY OF THE WEST:

Turkey PM: If you don't want Iran to have nukes, give yours up

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that countries opposed to Iran's atomic program should give up their own nuclear weapons, and attacked as "arrogant" the sanctions imposed on Ankara's neighbor.

He also said he wanted the Middle East, and then the whole world, to rid itself of nuclear weapons.

THIS PIECE OF SHIT ISLAMIST EQUATES THE USA'S NUKES WITH IRAN'S.

WE SHOULD KICK TURKEY OUT OF NATO, NOW.

DEMOCRATS ADMIT: 'WE SHOULD CALL IT CLUSTERCARE'

Just read between the lines of the 2,000-page ObamaCare bill and you'll find two stark admissions. Democrats are convinced that the bill will lead to an unmitigated catastrophe.

Admission 1: After months of proclaiming the "urgent" need for health care reform, PelosiCare doesn't actually kick in for at least three (3) years.

There are two reasons for the delay.

First, it's a tacit acknowledgment that prompt implementation would destroy Obama's reelection chances in 2012.

Second, it's an outright financial scam authored by the Statist Democrats: " The CBO has scored the bill at $1.055 trillion [which] does not take into consideration that fact that the ten-year window contains ten years of revenue and only three to eight years of major payouts –- meaning that the bill will bleed red ink [in subsequent years."

Admission 2: The only Americans not required to join the national health care program are -- wait for it -- members of Congress. Democrats are so certain that their own health would be endangered that they want no part of the disastrous Rube Goldberg contraption they've created.

* * *
"ClusterCare" is a $700 billion tax hike that will bankrupt the country as certainly as night follows day. It is 2,000 pages of pure horror, a perfect read for Halloween.

MAOBAMA'S UTOPIA

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE: UAW - WHICH OWNS GM - VOTES DOWN A "GM-LIKE" CONTRACT WITH FORD

(UPDATED BELOW)

GEEEEEE: WHOOOOOOODA THUNK THEY WOULDA EVER DONE THAT!?!?!? [/SARC]

NYTIMES:

Union workers at the Ford Motor Company have refused to help the company make more cuts to its labor costs.

Changes to the workers’ contract that would have allowed the cuts appeared headed for certain defeat Saturday after about 72 percent of workers voted to reject the deal, according to a tally compiled by The New York Times from results at separate plants.

Ford needed 9,000 more votes for passage, with fewer than 7,000 votes outstanding to be either cast or counted through Sunday.

Ford, which said it needed the changes to reduce some advantages the union gave to General Motors and Chrysler as those companies headed into bankruptcy in the spring, is not expected to seek a new deal.

REPEAT:

Ford, which said it needed the changes to reduce some advantages the union gave to General Motors and Chrysler as those companies headed into bankruptcy in the spring, is not expected to seek a new deal.

REPEAT:

THIS IS THE FRUIT OF SOCIALISM.

• IT WAS FREAKIN' RIDICULOUS TO THINK THAT FORD COULD EVER PROPERLY NEGOTIATE WITH THE UNION WHICH OWNS ONE OF THEIR MAIN COMPETITORS.

• THE UAW WOULD NEVER GIVE TO FORD WHAT THEY GAVE TO GM BECAUSE THEY CO-OWN GM.

• IT'S A CLEAR CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND IS ONE OF THE REASONS THE OBAMA "TAKEOVER" SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN ALLOWED.

• IT'S SICKENING.

EVERY PATRIOT WHO OWNS A GM SHOULD TRADE IT IN FOR A FORD.

REPEAT: EVERY PATRIOT WHO OWNS A GM SHOULD TRADE IT IN FOR A FORD.

FULL ROUND UP HERE AT MEMEORANDUM.

Finally: Playing Hardball

The initial address was replete with mea culpas, an apology by the U.S. Secretary of State for the outcome of the 2000 presidential election and all that befell the world in its wake. As though that election heralded and provoked all that was to come. As though, falling on one's proverbial sword would be the welcomed admission that all that has gone awry in the world is the unfortunate result of a Republican administration's response to world events. But it does reflect the stated humble retractions and beliefs of this still-new Democratic administration.

Careful not to ruffle the feathers of oppositional forces abroad, in an effort to restore some semblance of balance and moderation to world affairs. As though that could thus be accomplished. By sacrificing America's status as the single current world power to the grievances of failed states and non-state adversaries alike, the hoped outcome would be a partnership for co-operation and understanding. As though that were remotely possible between a country with a conscience (however insipid at times) and those conscious only of their sovereign right to abuse their own and threaten others.

Hillary Clinton has finally emerged as a person of potential distinction, someone whose mind is nimble enough to give her the courage and the backbone to respond honestly to her hostile interlocutors in Pakistan, serenely convinced that their nation is beyond reproach, and that the foreign intervention of the United States is responsible for the catastrophic turmoil now existing in Pakistan. As though Pakistan is utterly innocent of fomenting grievances through the deliberate and unforgivable encouraging and funding of violence between herself and her neighbours.

What reason has Pakistan, asked Secretary of State Clinton, to voice complaint that the eyes of the world are upon it as a breeding ground for world-wide terrorism, when the simple fact is that Pakistan has bred within itself that very fertile breeding ground that exists within its geography with utter impunity. (Inviting participation by disaffected international Islamic youth to train in jihadist militancy on Pakistan's soil.) Those groups approved by and supported by its military, and those who now turn against the national government, and its military in the interests of a greater accomplished Islamist Sharia movement shunting aside a nascent democracy.

When the leadership of al-Qaeda along with the Afghan and Pakistan Taliban both find comfort and security within the boundaries of the country, despite protestations of absolute and indignant denial from Islamabad. Pakistan's insistence that the United States should hand over sophisticated drones to its military, to enable it to target border areas hosting the terror groups reflects its rage over the United States' unauthorized incursions over its air space and ground territory. Targeting those remote hideouts where al-Qaeda and the Taliban are ensconced.

"I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are, and couldn't get to them if they really wanted to. Maybe that's the case; maybe they're not gettable, I don't know." Yet she carefully and without malice leaves the indelible impression in the belief of her own administration, one shared by many other countries of the NATO alliance, that there are high-placed Pakistan officials who are complicit with these terror forces, allowing them sanctuary, and defiant of the need to co-operate with foreign forces attempting to uproot them.

Her verbal assault, piercing the innocence of the Pakistan administration and the country's armed forces, does not go down very well; it is a truth that Pakistan feels need not be publicly aired. Ruffling diplomatic feathers in a way that has not quite been seen before. Because most Pakistani civilians believe that it is the presence of the United States in the geography that threatens their country. The vicious attacks upon the institutes of governance, upon military emplacements, upon civilians by the fundamentalist Islamists within Pakistan, attempting to destabilize the country and prevent success of the army's assaults on tribal areas are laid at the feet of the U.S.

It is not the implacable fundamentalists who exist in the formidably-hostile areas of the country and who visit bloody atrocities on the population, destroying schools, attacking and murdering teachers and children, flogging women inadequately garbed, tormenting shaven men, outlawing music and laughter with the rigour of fanaticism - spreading their territory to encompass hitherto government-controlled areas that are at fault. But the presence of NATO and American troops in the neighbourhood, forcing Pakistan into a war it has no gut to pursue.

"Slowly, but insidiously, you were losing territory", she pointed out to one of many accusers at a Pakistan university where she took questions from an obviously aggrieved audience of university students. "If you want to see your territory shrink, that's your choice. But I don't think that's the right choice." As though it were as simple as that. The university students exhibiting such resentment at outside forces - foreign forces, unlike interior malign forces that strive to alter beyond recognition all that they take for granted in whatever freedoms they have - for all their education adamantly refuse reality.

Should Pakistan ultimately and catastrophically fall to the Islamist fanatics battling in South Waziristan it would result in the beginnings of a near-east Caliphate, giving Islamists elsewhere the impetus to strive even more forcefully to achieve their end of the bargain within the Magreb, with Somalia falling to the Islamists, leading the way for other nations to succumb, in Africa. If Islamism could be contained within the traditional confines of Islamic conquest that would be one thing.

But the obvious, and proven intent of global jihad is to conquer all countries of the world. The migration of Muslims to Europe and to North America over the past decades has swelled their numbers to significant proportions of the populations there. And while most Muslims appear to have integrated to a good degree into the surrounding social milieu, accepting Western values, a slowly growing number of young Muslims are rejecting those values, representing a fifth column of jihadists violently dedicated to the overthrow of the West.

All of which appears preposterously improbable, in the length, depth and breadth, not to mention fundamental hysteria of the movement. But there appear many cracks in the solidarity of Western liberal democracies, with ultra-leftist groups implausibly, imponderably professing a certain level of sympathy for those very dedicated jihadists who, in the final analysis, will have no use for these dupes, but whose valuable support at the present helps global jihad in its mission.

Kudos, then, to Hillary Clinton, for what can be hoped to be the first of many future frank admissions, seeming to run counter to President Barack Obama's failing, flailing, game plan.

OBAMA'S STEALTH LEGAL ATTACK ON BUSH AND CHENEY

MCCARTHY/NRO:

The New York Times reports that on Friday, DOJ released "hundreds of pages of partially declassified documents" on the interrogations. Ostensibly, they were released pursuant to Freedom of Information Act demands by the ACLU and Judicial Watch. But as I've noted before, there are FOIA provisions the administration could use to withhold this information — Obama is releasing this material because he wants to, not because he has to.

The Justice Department's actions are consistent with the theory I've previously offered that the Obama administration is intentionally feeding left-wing lawyers who are trying to persuade foreign courts to prosecute Bush administration officials for actions taken in defense of the United States.

Everything Obama and his comrades do is by stealth because they know the vast majority of Americans would reject their goals.


Obamacare and Cap & Trade are Trojan Horses for socialism.


Obama is a snake and a liar and a postmodern left-wing anti-West collectivist.


Emphasis on the snake - a slithering dithering snake.
