Pakistan president loses amnesty for corruption charges

Takes His Finger Off the Nuclear Trigger

be on the alert JSOC and Black water are there

I talk about it often that I knew we had a force in place in Pakistan to secure their nukes if we think they are in danger of falling into extremists hands. I do not think I knew that General McChrystal was in charge of that force or that he was in charge of Cheney's assassin squads. I did know he was the head of the Delta force but never thought about their clandestine activities. I invite you to read this and think about it all! Obama's General in charge of Afghanistan was Cheney's chief assassin

This is a long held plan: The plan is a detailed plan to secure Pakistan's Soviet style mobile nuclear force if it appears they are in danger of falling into the hands of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, or any other "perceived" militants. Key word perceived! American intelligence sources say the operation would be conducted by Joint Special Operations Command, the super-secret commando unit headquartered at Fort Bragg, N.C.

At least for me until a year ago JSOC and what they are doing in Pakistan and Afghanistan had not been divulged. I do not know if it is wise or not but Obama had let this out of the bag too. JSOC is the military's chief terrorists hunting squad and has units now operating in Afghanistan on Pakistan's western border.

A secondary mission is to secure foreign nuclear arsenals. As you know the mission has taken on added importance in recent months, as Islamic extremists have taken territory close to the capital of Islamabad and could destabilize Pakistan's shaky democracy. Pakistan appears to be holding off the Taliban threat thus the threat of the US too feel the need to act on defending their Nukes. Just in case the US Has Plan to Secure Pakistan Nukes if Country Falls to Taliban

Iran Censured Over Nuclear Program by UN Watchdog: Sorry but it is Too little too late!

Nuclear defiance? IAEA votes on Iran censure resolution



I know some of you have been critical about my stance on Iran over the years but I am convinced Iran, the IRG, Ahmadinejad, Ayatollah Khamenei, they have no good intentions with their nuclear program. The years of lies are just starting to come to a head!

We just discussed that by attacking Iraq and further destabilizing the Middle East Bush freed Iran to interfere where they can and they are! He freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran.

As you know, when asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran in 1979 after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply was “nothing” Whoa! From day one of his return to Iran Khomeini expressed no love for Iran only a love of the atom bomb. The drive even then was to possess a nuclear weapon though that desire is still denied until Iran can get their hands on one.

I have tried to give Iran the benefit of the doubt when they say their nuclear desires are peaceful knowing they could use nuclear power as an energy source for their growing population. I have always asserted that perceived need could be cover for the real goal of developing a nuclear weapon. I now believe it is and I think it is too late but the IAEA has finally woken up to that fact!

* Just one day after Mohamed ElBaradei finally castigated Iran for what he finally believes is a clandestine nuclear weapons program the IAEA is now demanding Iran freeze all operations ate the so called secret nuclear site on an IRG base in the holy city of Qum that even G W Bush knew about and never said anything.

It is a little late to start expressing serious concern over potential military designs with their nuclear program though I am greatly encouraged that even China and Russia are behind this resolution. However there is no way the IRG (Iranian Revolutionary Guard) Khamenei, or Ahmadinejad, will do anything the world tells them to let alone curtail their “God given” nuclear program.

At least now the resolution censuring Iran passed overwhelmingly by 25 to 3. For what it is worth China and Russia have finally joined the US, Britain, France, and others while the three dissenters were the expected villains Malaysia, Cuba, and Venezuela.

Israel also for what it is worth said they would put off any thought of action against Iran’s nuclear abilities until after Obama’s end of year deadline promising “crippling sanctions” does not cooperate. You know they will not and we just wrote that Bush freed them to do as they want and that will continue.

I do not trust Iran an Iota any more! I am more concerned than ever about what Iran is really up to and not just with their nuclear ambitions. Iran Censured Over Nuclear Program by UN Watchdog

As damaging info builds by the day I reiterate: IRG Ahmadinejad, the stolen election, the killing and imprisonment of the children of the Revolution, the violent crushing of all opposition, the clandestine nuclear program, It is all making sense, beware! Natanz, Qom, Arak, Isfahan, Bushehr, how many more nuclear facilities? How will this end?

White House: US Will Be Out Of Afghanistan by 2017 but we better heed Pakistan's warning!

They do not want a large increase in troops and I have to agree with their reasoning. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the United States must fully share its plans for Afghanistan with Pakistan so that it can contribute to them. He warned of our closing posts near the border and I agree we should increase our presence there. Pakistan's Gilani warns Obama over US Afghan troop plan

I agree with Pakistan that we should put Karzai to the test and concentrate our efforts on securing the Afghanistan Pakistan border to contain militants in Pakistan so Pakistan can eradicate them if possible and keep them from migrating into Afghanistan to complicate our efforts. Border security is key to the success of both Pakistan and Afghanistan and should be a prime concern and the effort of Afghan forces can be spent training up and killing the militants that are already in country!

I agree with what should be the final option on the table, dubbed the "hybrid" option, it would involve a surge of around 20,000 troops to reinforce major population areas coupled with a renewed counter-terrorist effort against al-Qaeda and Taliban targets in lawless tribal areas along the border with Pakistan coupled with the major emphasis being training up Afghans to take over their security so we can go home.

We will find out in a few days and I am gratified with much of what I am hearing about Obama's plan but dismayed that he wants to add some 34,000 troops. Head of Management and Budget Peter Orzak had a ring side seat because of the costs involved. At a cost of $1 million per year per soldier and a possible “temporary” increase of some 34,000 soldiers we are not talking peanuts here and have heard rumors of a war tax, pay as you fight! US Will Be Out Of Afghanistan By 2017: White House

With the U.S. deficit hitting $1.4 trillion and fueling Americans' concerns about high government spending, sending more troops to Afghanistan will be a politically risky move for Obama. Republicans of course want the troop increase but will use the deficit to make sure that this is Obama’s Waterloo.

As you know, concerns at home are the smallest part of this. This is very complicated thanks to Bush’s ineptitude. Pakistan is blaming militants regrouping outside Waziristan on the US but it is due to their success. Counter to their belief, I think a surge hurts us but will in fact help them. I guess once again we will have to find out the hard way. I remember Obama saying he wanted to be out before his time was up knowing that meant two terms. Now we hear 2017. We can only hope that is etched in stone! Pakistan Taliban regrouping outside Waziristan

By attacking Iraq and further destabilizing the Middle East Bush freed Iran to interfere where they can and they are!

Yemen conflict worries Middle East region



Five killed at secessionist protest in south Yemen, Sees 'Mounting Evidence' Iran Is Arming Rebels
As you know, I talk about it often as I watch Bush's new Middle East (dis)order progress. He ignored Afghanistan so he could use the patriot acts powers to divert from Afghanistan to attack Iraq using the excuse of unseating Saddam so he could get in the Middle East to help Israel establish a buffer zone and establish a new middle east (dis) order or so Israel and Cheney thought. Bush at Cheney's urging made an abrupt shift in policy towards Syria, a shift that has now brought the entire Mideast region to the brink of war and chaos. Much worse than the hell on earth they created for Iraq. Did you ever read A clean Break

That plan was put together in 1996 for Israel. They were just waiting for an idiot to come along so they could implement their plan for the Middle East. Along came the life long follower and life long alcoholic loser Georgie Bush. I wish I could say the rest is History but this is still barely beginning and just beginning to take shape. All Bush did by ignoring Afghanistan and attacking Iraq was to guarantee a loss of everything and a complete Middle East and Asian Breakdown.

He freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran. Five killed at secessionist protest in south Yemen

The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!

I knew Iran was supplying and arming the rebels in Yemen but I did not realize how extensively! Yemen has known for a while that Iran was arming the rebels that pushed into Saudi Arabia recently. Before Saudi jets pushed them out with Yemen approval and attacked their strongholds.

Yemen as you know is a US and Saudi ally and we have heard in the past accusations of arms smuggling. Yemen authorities have started boarding Iranian ships suspected of smuggling arms to Houthi rebels. This will have consequences for the entire Middle East as Shiite leader Iran is getting increasingly confrontational with Sunni leader Saudi Arabia albeit up to now in proxy!

Once again the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is the instigator. Hey are ferrying weapons to Eritrea to Yemen. They are now avoiding the Arabian Peninsula as Saudi Arabia has instituted a blockade along the coast of Yemen. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has also transported Lebanese Hezbollah fighters to fight with the rebels.

The Yemeni Navy has also seized an Iranian crewed ship loaded with weapons off the coast of a rebel stronghold and of course and involvement was denied by Iran. Saudi Arabia can not tolerate this on its border. Heretofore all fighting has been third party, Shiite against Sunni. How long before the 2 keepers of their faces go head to head to enforce their version of a new Middle East order?
Yemen Sees 'Mounting Evidence' Iran Is Arming Rebels

Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have been using Lebanon as their battlefront up to now able to avoid direct confrontation. Iran has pumped millions of dollars in supplies and arms much to the consternation of her suffering people while Saudi Arabia has been sup porting the Palestinian Authority.

So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! I do not give a damn what anyone says. Bush, Cheney and their Democratization program in an already historically unstable middle east set all of this and more in motion!

* The hell on earth Bush created for Iraqi’s will engulf the entire Middle East before it encompasses the entire world if we can not contain it. Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems. The Middle East breakdown Bush started armed and funded will continue under Obama. This up to now proxy war in the Middle East is under way. Wait, watch, and listen, this is not good for the world and our future!

The 9th and last war council: We Hope!

Obama's Afghan Decision: Getting them there and getting them out!



The next step






Those in attendance included: Vice President Biden, Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of Defense Bill Gates, Ambassador Susan Rice, Permanent U.S. Representative to the United Nations, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Under Secretary of Defense Michele Flournoy.

Also Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General James E. Cartwright, USMC, Vice Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff , General David Petraeus, U.S. Central Command, General Stanley McChrystal, U.S. Commander in Afghanistan (via videoconference), Lieutenant General Karl Eikenberry, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan (via videoconference), Anne Patterson, U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan (via videoconference).

Plus General James Jones, National Security Advisor, Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Advisor, John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism and Homeland Security, and Lieutenant General Douglas Lute, Special Assistant to the President for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Obama’s Afghanistan Strategy To Include “Benchmarks” and “Off-Ramps,” Announcement Next Week

How can you possibly equate that stellar team of adviser’s led by President Obama the listener and thinker to the likes of Rummy, Cheney, Rove, and the sole unthinking decider G W Bush? That was the 9th and last dramatic war council prior to Obama’s decision expected to be announced on or around December 1st.

Head of Management and Budget Peter Orzak had a ring side seat because of the costs involved. At a cost of $1 million per year per soldier and a possible “temporary” increase of of some 30,000 soldiers we are not talking peanuts here and have heard rumors of a war tax, pay as you fight!

With a crew like that brain trusting on how to clean up Bush and Cheney’s mess and extricate us as I have faith they will, I am sick of the destructive ass Cheney saying Obama is unsure of himself and is dithering. If Cheney and Bush had done a tad of Dithering on Iraq we would not be in this position.

Cheney said he and Bush left Obama the foundation to build on and he is not building on it. No kidding! With 8 years of ignored crumbling foundation it must be rebuilt before we can build on it and extricate ourselves from the mess Bush and Cheney made. Everyone in the world knows that is the problem except for Cheney who was the war decider. Obama said that after 8 years of neglect and disregard in Afghanistan he will finish the job. Seems to me that was a swipe at Cheney and Bush for dithering.
It is important and telling that Obama’s first State dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. India is the largest Democracy in the world. Without a doubt in their closed door meetings they were discussing India’s role in quelling the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

As we discussed in the past, it is important to have India on board as we move forward on the war in Afghanistan. India’s partnership is as important as China’s as we move into the 21st century. India is not only in Afghanistan and Pakistan but in the creation of jobs here in America. Eradicating terrorism as we discussed is not only Pakistan and India but the entire world.

I have said many times in the past that war seems to be the driver of our economy as a way to survive into the future. That said it seems fighting terrorism is our future and along with new energy sources and green jobs will keep economies of the so called civilized world afloat in the future. That said, Obama can concentrate on putting America back to work and that is not his top priority!

IT is not it may happen! Bush guaranteed a Sunni Shiite civil war throughout the entire Middle East!

I seem to have to beat a dead horse an awful lot lately. I guess is appropriate that once again it is over a problem he created. As I watch the situation in Yemen devolve and the 2nd link to follow stating that with one side supported by Sunni Saudi Arabia and the rebels by Shiite Iran this “may” erupt into a Sunni Shiite civil war throughout the Middle East! That is a fact Bush guaranteed when he ignored good advice and attacked Iraq as God told him to! 'Saudi casualties' in border fight with rebels
The Yemen - Iran Spat Spreads to Street Names

The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!

I reiterate, could this confrontation erupt in war between Iran and at the least US armed Saudi Arabia? Iran is warning and threatening retribution but they are supplying the Yemeni Rebels who pushed into Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has fired well over a hundred missiles from their fighter jets as they pummel their hideouts.
You can not blame them but I had no idea the dissension goes all the way back to the naming of the Gulf. Saudi’s know it as the Gulf of Arabia and I can remember that but Iran calls it the Persian Gulf as the rest of us seem to now.

Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have been using Lebanon as their battlefront up to now able to avoid direct confrontation. Iran has pumped millions of dollars in supplies and arms much to the consternation of her suffering people while Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Palestinian Authority.

While the world has been engrossed following events in Iran since the election was stolen to keep fascist Ahmadinejad and he fascist agenda in control Iran has been fueling a rebel war in Yemen and what a surprise it has extended into Saudi Arabia. The Hajj has even been threatened.

The Hajj as you may know is known as the 5th Pillar of Islam and is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years.

A propaganda war is also being waged. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have pulled the plug on Iran’s Arabic speaking TV. It makes me wonder why they did not do that during the height of the protests when Iran’s Government sanctioned channel was televising pure lies and propaganda? I find it hard to believe that Iran is that vulnerable in that area!

So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! I do not give a damn what anyone says. Bush Chaney and their Democratization program in an already historically unstable middle east set all of this and more in motion!

* The hell on earth Bush created for Iraqi’s will engulf the entire Middle East before it encompasses the entire world if we can not contain it. Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems.

Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the Rise of Militant Islam Makes sense of everything including Ayatollah Sistani

You know I have said many times that having legitimacy is not Ayatollah Khamenei's concern! Ayatollah Khomeini betrayed the 1979 revolution right off the bat and Khamenei is following him. That is why the most popular Ayatollah in Iran Ayatollah Sistani who has lived in Iraq since he was a teenager but visited Iran every year left Iran for Iraq and has never returned.

Ayatollah Sistani is gaining more converts every day. Ayatollah Montazeri was a leader of the Revolution too and has disagreed with Khamenei's betrayal of the Revolution. Instead of leaving like Ayatollah Sistani he chose to stay in Iran and has frequently butted heads with Khamenei. Ayatollah Sistani the most powerful Ayatollah in Iran has stayed out of Iran since the 1979 Revolution. He said the Revolution was betrayed and it was. Ayatollah Sistani Intrigue

Reading the book by Con Coughlin titled Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the Rise of Militant Islam while as usual not totally correct it certainly makes you think and put everything in its proper frightening perspective. Please look at the book review and decide for yourself. From Khomeini's response on his return to Iran after 15 years of exile to today's events it all makes sense and the world better be concerned as there is more than idle threats and braggadocio coming from Ahmadinejad. Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the ...

When asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply “nothing” Whoa!

They do not want a large increase in troops and I have to agree with their reasoning. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the United States must fully share its plans for Afghanistan with Pakistan so that it can contribute to them. He warned of our closing posts near the border and I agree we should increase our presence there.Pakistan demands US share Afghan blueprint

'US drone' targets Pakistan hideout 8 more militants killed! I understand Obama has greatly increased drone attacks. I abhor any civilian deaths or injuries but I do think the drone attacks should be increased along with use for observation. The drones are a way for us to help on the Pakistan side of the border without putting boots on the ground. I have to say, Pakistan and both sides of the border should be our priority now.


As you know, I agree with the Afghan citizens interviewed and with Pakistan that we should put Karzai to the test and concentrate our efforts on securing the Afghanistan Pakistan border to contain militants in Pakistan so Pakistan can eradicate them if possible and keep them from migrating into Afghanistan to complicate our efforts. Border security is key to the success of both Pakistan and Afghanistan and should be a prime concern and the effort of Afghan forces can be spent training up and killing the militants that are already in country!

Bingo! Exactly what we have been saying and then we should get the hell out and see if Karzai is as spineless and corrupt as some of us think before we have another Saigon and join Afghanistan’s graveyard of Nations!

The 5th option is the right option and I bet Obama will go with that and then start the slow withdrawal and see what Karzai and Afghanistan do with their opportunity, I hope they fight like Pakistan is. The letters from Ambassador Eikenberry set this in motion and I am psyched! Pay attention to Biden, pay attention to Max Cleland!

Adding more troops will only embolden the Taliban, make them happy, and make things much worse for us! Karzai better quickly get things together and cooperate, the writing is on the wall.

We keep saying we better learn from Vietnam or we are going to have another Saigon! Get the hell out of there. We have lost enough good soldiers fighting for Karzai’s corrupt Government! Obama wants to hear the advice to down size and withdraw and he has it! He has an exit strategy and I can’t wait to hear it

Karzai apologizes for fraud says Afghanistan will control its security in 5 years!

Afghan President Sworn in to 2nd Term



That I would have to say is a lot more than a little optimistic don't you think? President Karzai's inauguration audience reflected the concern coming from the whole international community. 17 NATO foreign ministers were there including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The situation is serious and Karzai must step up. However eliminating corruption and controlling Afghanistan in 5 years is a bit optimistic I think though I would love to see it! British foreign secretary attends Afghan President Karzai's inauguration

I recommend that you read the link and see what the people think is necessary before Karzai can achieve his stated goals as they are right on. I have said numerous times what many of the people are saying. Karzai's entire corrupt cabinet must be replaced but that will never happen. That has to happen to stop the rampant Government corruption in a country that was is 179 out of the top 180 corrupt countries. Karzai inauguration: Views from Afghanistan

That will not however do anything to stop the corruption throughout the country much of it controlled by Karzai family and friends. Not just opium production but the main supply route to Kandahar where contractors use bribes to keep from being attacked by the Taliban. That said the people interviewed in the above link certainly nailed it and agree with me and Pakistan. Pakistan wants us to keep a military presence in Afghanistan and even increase it which I do not want to see because that will not work but only to add us to Afghanistan's graveyard of Nations.

I agree with the Afghan citizens interviewed and with Pakistan that we should put Karzai to the test and concentrate our efforts on securing the Afghanistan Pakistan border to contain militants in Pakistan so Pakistan can eradicate them if possible and keep them from migrating into Afghanistan to complicate our efforts.

Somali pirates can't be beaten at sea, why we cannot condemn them!

Somali pirates are back in the headlines after a Spanish trawler and its 36 member crew has thrust the issue of Somali piracy back into the spotlight. The vessel was released after a ransom payment exceeding $3m was agreed. Does not sound like a great amount when you hear millions Billions and trillions bandied about but in a country with an average income is $2 a day that sum is princely heck it is princely to most of us. Somali pirates can't be beaten at sea

Somalia to get EU training force to counter Islamist insurgents

Anyway I am not going to talk about the amount of piracy but the reason our pirates "yes we killed their livelihood necessitating Piracy. I published this story in April. Please read the story at the link. It is scary what we did and you have to wonder where else we have done stuff like this.

I knew the fishing industry died however I did not know we killed it by dumping nuclear and other industrial waste there. Brother pointed out that Somali war lords were bought off to dump hazardous waste in their waters. A Swiss firm called Achair Partners, and an Italian waste company called Progresso, made a deal with Ali Mahdi, that they could dump containers of waste material in Somali waters. These European companies were said to be paying Warlords about $3 a ton, where as to properly dispose of waste in Europe costs about $1000 a ton. Why we don't condemn our Somali pirates

I heard the fish were dead there and the fishermen took to pirating but it figures someone has been dumping nuclear and other toxic waste there. I do not blame them for pirating but stealing stuff is one thing. Ransoming for millions and disrupting the world is another but we disrupted them. They are supporting whole villages. I don't know what the answer is. They even take ships that are feeding their people. What do you do avoid the area and let them starve? I don't know!

It really bothers me that it seems whenever I delve into something it is always capitalism behind the problem. We keep hearing the virtues of Capitalism but our own problems and I am seeing around the world are caused by Capitalism run Amok. The great system of Capitalism is destroying our world. We have got to rein it in and control it. I was concerned with Bush's warmongering and the world marshaling forces to take him on. I was concerned about Israel instigating war too thinking they were the world’s primary problem. I thought they were controlling the US and we were going to end up destroying the world at their bid.

* We are so brainwashed, we never hear or see the truth. I noticed behind every frigging conflict including Gaza and Georgia and Afghanistan was oil and other energy sources so I just took the normal course of blaming all our problems on oil and other energy sources as the world postured to move into the future. Stupid me! In regard to our problems here I keep saying we see the enemy and he is us but son of a gun it is! We are the problem of the entire world. Capitalism! It is out of control and will destroy the world unless we rein it in. What say you!

Corruption index” from Transparency International; Where does your country rank?

Afghanistan sinks in new corruption ranking as US, World Leaders Fall Short in Corruption Fight, Group Says!

Afghanistan's level of corruption earns it a ranking of 179 out of 180 Nations listed, worsened only by Somalia who is ranked as the most corrupt nation on earth. . That is not much to be proud of! Britain is 17th and the US is 19th, Cuba is 64th and Mexico 89th. Afghanistan has Iraq Burma Haiti and the likes of Burundi for company on the bottom of the list. Afghanistan sinks in new corruption ranking

What bothers me about the list is that recent efforts at forcing Democracy on Nations by Bush we know as failure but it is illustrated here. I know corruption has been around since the beginning of society and man. However, with the advent of George W and his corrupt underhanded Government in what he called an example of Democracy to be exported around the world the corruption and stolen power became the new standard. Britain slips to new low in ranking of most corrupt countries ...‎

US, World Leaders Fall Short in Corruption Fight, Group Says

Bush used what I coined as 3D politics taught by Karl Rove to achieve their goals. (3D politics = Deceitful, deceptive, divisive politics) It seems in every election in every country now we hear cries of fraud and corruption not just here in the US and more visibly in Iran during the June Presidential election. Why should we expect Afghanistan or anyone else to be any different? Check where your country ranks in the corruption index

Look at the example we have set for others to follow. I remember the feeling of shame when GW had the audacity to tell China they should aspire to a US style Democracy seeing our own broadcast daily corruption in what many of us believed was no longer a Democracy. Under Bush we became a Democracy in name only and were exporting that not just in the Middle East but around the world.

Stealing elections and corruptions is the standard in the world now. The destruction Bush rained on the US and world balance along with the example he set for the world to follow will affect the entire world for generations if not forever. That is why I can not forget what Bush did and people often tell me to get over it. He made sure he will go down in history!

Yemen and Saudi Arabia reiterate Iran is funding Houthi Rebels and they deny it so they can keep the middle east breakdown in progress!

Yemen security chief rebuffs Iran Houthi remarks - 16 Nov 09





The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new middle east (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!
Yemen says Iran funding rebels

Saudi cleric accuses Iran of ties to Yemeni rebels

I reiterate, could this confrontation erupt in war between Iran and at the least US armed Saudi Arabia? Iran is warning and threatening retribution but they are supplying the Yemeni Rebels who pushed into Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has fired well over a hundred missiles from their fighter jets as they pummel their hideouts.

You can not blame them but I had no idea the dissension goes all the way back to the naming of the Gulf. Saudi’s know it as the Gulf of Arabia and I can remember that but Iran calls it the Persian Gulf as the rest of us seem to now.

Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have been using Lebanon as their battlefront up to now able to avoid direct confrontation. Iran has pumped millions of dollars in supplies and arms much to the consternation of her suffering people while Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Palestinian Authority.

While the world has been engrossed following events in Iran since the election was stolen to keep fascist Ahmadinejad and he fascist agenda in control Iran has been fueling a rebel war in Yemen and what a surprise it has extended into Saudi Arabia. The Hajj has even been threatened.

The Hajj as you may know is known as the 5th Pillar of Islam and is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years. Please read on and learn

A propaganda war is also being waged. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have pulled the plug on Iran’s Arabic speaking TV. It makes me wonder why they did not do that during the height of the protests when Iran’s Government sanctioned channel was televising pure lies and propaganda? I find it hard to believe that Iran is that vulnerable in that area!

So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! I do not give a damn what anyone says. Bush Chaney and their Democratization program in an already historically unstable middle east set all of this and more in motion!

* The hell on earth Bush created for Iraqi’s will engulf the entire Middle East before it encompasses the entire world if we can not contain it. Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems. The Middle East breakdown Bush started armed and funded will continue under Obama. This up to now proxy war in the middle east is under way. Wait, watch, and listen, this is not good for the world and our future!

Tax payers "you and I" are paying the Taliban not to kill us with our Taxes!

That really peeves me! We talk about corruption in Afghanistan and the Afghan Government. We have discussed often about corrupt President Karzai his corrupt Government, and his drug lord brother being on the CIA payroll. Now we are finding out private security is paying of the Taliban not to blow up our equipment and to not kill us.

First I want to say I guess we are not paying them enough. This is sick! Drugs and corruption seem to be Afghanistan's main industry! Think about the scope of this and the future ramifications as this so called terrorism progresses around the world. We are setting a very dangerous precedent.

I was stunned to find out if we do not pay the Taliban their bribes they blow up bridges kidnap people and generally create mayhem until they do receive their kickbacks. Also the Taliban actually keeps an office in Kabul to review major deals, determine percentages and conduct negotiations. That absolutely amazes me! Is the Taliban Getting a Cut of U.S. Aid? - World Watch - CBS News

Obama is looking at paying off the 70% of the Taliban who are not considered hard core and will switch sides for money as we have heard, They are called the $10 a day Taliban and with 15,000 of them costing $300,000 that would be a drop in the bucket compared to the 165 million per day we are paying to fight this war. Obama prepared to pay off the Taliban

We are paying off the Taliban not to kill us, the Government is totally corrupt, And they do not want to cooperate or fight for their country, no wonder Obama is stymied as to what to do next. I am not! Get us the hell out of this mess in an honorable withdrawal with heads held high. Our troops did their job, the Al Qaeda is gone! Afghani’s do not want us there, they do not want a Democracy, nor do they want a central Government.

* In closing: To top everything off trucking firms use DOD cash to pay off the Taliban, the US pays off the enemy not to attack convoys, Karzai cousins control the key routes to Kandahar, and we are approaching the 9th year with no end in sight unless we listen to Max Cleland, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Ambassador Eikenberry and withdraw. The chorus is growing!

Sarah Palin: Going Rogue vs. Going Rouge!

Going Rouge satire vs Going Rogue the joke



Now this is funny! As you know, Sarah Palin the short term Alaska Governor who abandoned her post where she saw Russia from her house had someone write a book about her lies and idiocy titled Going Rogue. 4 months after abandoning her people! At the same time her book is coming out, the parody comic book version is coming out titled "Going Rouge" Please look at the video!

I have to laugh I don't think she can even read. Knowing the class of people that follow her I have to wonder if they know the difference between Rouge and Rogue and will buy the right one! Which one do you think will sell better? The comic book should far outsell Palings book of lies. If not it will only be because Oprah is going to interview her and promote the book. I predict another Oprah book scandal!

Paling kicked off her book tour on her Book Going Rogue but it looked more like going Rouge. She was on the Oprah show and was as ditzy as ever. Oprah asked her about the Couric interview and she tried to laugh it off saying she knew it was a bad interview but I am sure the ditz thought it was great like all the other stupid stuff she says and does.

It is obvious she does not like Katie Couric blaming her for her looking stupid. She does not need any help there. Remember when Couric asked her what she read she said she read voraciously and then could name nothing so on Oprah she produced a list including the Pearl and animal Farm. It was dreadful; it looked like a 7th grade reading list.

Sarah Barracuda is back! Watch the Republican Party try to ride the Palin paper tiger back into office! She is going to try to settle scores with McCain staffers and like everything she does it will backfire but her unthinking loyal followers will not care or even notice it.

Palin sad that when McCain and staff went up to Alaska to vet her the campaign charged her for it! Come on! Of course they denied it and of course she pulled the poor picked on Palin outlook once again.

On her tour she is avoiding big cities altogether and his going to red meat territory, to battleground states. Palin is America’s favorite quitter. To me she should not even relevant and she is not but even though she does not know what she is talking about many out there love the air head.

I am dumbfounded that this ditz has so many followers and some Politicians even want her to campaign for them. Be careful what you ask for you may get it! She said she is not into drama, cut the crap! She is the drama queen. What about her on going Levi saga?

She knows how to lie and play games that we know! How much do you think she is going to make on that farce of a book? She paid someone to write for her? * In closing, Palin is definitely looking at running in 2012 as she is hitting all the test run States on her book tour. I warn that nominating her will be suicide for the Republican Party, she is a money maker not a President maker. I do wonder why no one thought of pricing her book for $20.12?

Afghanistan Ambassador warns Obama against adding troops. Asks for new options, It's about time!

Obama Asks for New Afghan Options



We all know this but we keep hearing there is no military solution in Afghanistan any victory will require a Political solution. I do not like General McChrystal’s clandestine military past but I do respect him. However we do not need a warrior solution right now. We need a way out of Afghanistan not another Saigon!

Having said that, McChrystal is the right man to oversee the job in Afghanistan as he is but for a solution as to what to do next we better listen to our Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry, a retired army general who commanded US forces in Afghanistan from 2005-2007. He knows what he is talking about. US ambassador warns against Afghanistan troop surge

He has been in charge in Afghanistan militarily and he knows the Government’s corruption first hand. He has deep reservations as I do and warns against adding more troops to this corrupt Government. I still say Mikhail Gorbachev is right and it is time to start withdrawing before we join the graveyard of Nations.

I am glad to hear that Obama has rejected all four options requesting an additional 15,000 to 40,000 troops to Afghanistan. When Eikenberry correctly assessed that adding any more troops will only worsen our situation.. It is about time! The right assessment for once!

I understand McChrystal is very angry and NATO came right out and said they wanted the 40,000 troops. I happen to like the new “5th option” The final option on the table, dubbed the "hybrid" option, would involve a surge of around 20,000 troops to reinforce major population areas coupled with a renewed counter-terrorist effort against al-Qaeda and Taliban targets in lawless tribal areas along the border with Pakistan.

Bingo! Exactly what we have been saying and then we should get the hell out and see if Karzai is as spineless and corrupt as some of us think before we have another Saigon and join Afghanistan’s graveyard of Nations!

The 5th option is the right option and I bet Obama will go with that and then start the slow withdrawal and see what Karzai and Afghanistan do with their opportunity, I hope they fight like Pakistan is. The letters from Ambassador Eikenberry set this in motion and I am psyched!

• In the end as I keep saying, McChrystal is wrong in this case. Adding more troops will only embolden the Taliban, make them happy, and make things much worse for us! Karzai better quickly get things together and cooperate, the writing is on the wall.

We keep saying we better learn from Vietnam or we are going to have another Saigon! Get the hell out of there. We have lost enough good soldiers fighting for Karzai’s corrupt Government! Obama wants to hear the advice to withdraw and he has it! Now?

It is sick that Republicans are politicizing the Fort Hood massacre!

Limbaugh blames Fort Hood massacre on Obama saying Hasan was just like Obama



I heard Limbaugh blame the Fort Hood massacre on President Obama. You expect that kind of idiocy from the likes of him and Beck. Please watch the video on the capitalizing fool Limbaugh. This catastrophe should not be used by Republicans to gain political favor. That is sick!

I refuse to believe that even the scummy low life Republican Politicians are politicizing the Fort Hood lone wolf massacre to hopefully gain Political favor. Those scums just do not stop sickening us. They will stoop as low as they have to in their childish game to make Obama fail. This is sick!

I refuse to believe in the first place that someone on the Intelligence committee can take it upon himself to divulge information that has been entrusted to them without going to the President. He should be disciplined at the very least though I do agree with some of what he said.

This is not a first for the low life Republicans! as you may remember. We have been hearing that the FBI and the NSA have been intercepting E Mails between Major Hasan and known radicals who call fro martyrdom and death to all Americans and our soldiers.

Nothing was done, no agencies sharwed information and supposedly the military was never notified. We do know Hasan told them himself how he felt and no one said anything because they did not want to be accused of discrimination. WTF? Speak up!

What is Homeland Security for? This is not a game political or otherwise. The life of our very country is at stake. We expect lowlife crap from Fox and the Beck’s and Limbaugh’s of the Party but Republican Politicians better step forward and start putting the country first.

Congressman Hoekstra the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee wants all documents related to last week's rampage at Fort Hood made available to Congress for continued investigation and I can understand that as the ball has been dropped.

However he accused the Obama administration of not being forthcoming with information about Hasan. I do not think President Obama or his Administration would have kept secret any information that could have prevented this horror and now is not the time to go after Obama. U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra calls for Congressional review of Fort ...

Let the Info be disseminated to Congress but leave Obama out of it! Now is not the timer to make public what the CIA, FBI, NSA, or the White House knew. Let it play out first. The Political gamesmanship must stop for the good of the people and America!

Obama Honor all our troops not just the dead at Fort Hood and listen to Gorbachev!

Obama decision on Afghanistan troops 'in days'



I have been listening to irresponsible rumors the last few days as news channels competed to be the first to declare what President Obama will decide on as to adding or even subtracting troops from Afghanistan.

I first heard he decided to send 34,000 then that he was going to add the 40,000 recommended by General McChrystal. I was very disturbed thinking he did not wait to hear the provincial assessments and what the Afghan leaders need and want.

I was relieved to find out Obama has not decided what he is going to do yet. The ceremony at Fort Hood to Honor the 14 massacred and 30 wounded by what they thought was one of their own it is a somber backdrop that will influence Obama’s decision.

I finally heard Obama will decide in 2 weeks after here hears assessments From American Commanders on the ground in every province in Afghanistan. I pray Obama will not see fit to add the 40,000 troops General McChrystal recommended but will listen to Mikhail Gorbachev as he knows first hand if we do not we will join the graveyard of Nations in Afghanistan too.

Gorbachev rightly recommends that Obama start to withdraw troops, the slow good bye I keep recommending! I firmly hope Obama does not see fit to add 40,000 more troops to what the Taliban believe is the end of day’s battle field. I sent you the link many times to the Taliban get their first wish so Google it if you want but they will be tickled pink if we add more troops for them to kill.

President Obama could add a million more troops and it would not matter. There is no shortage of volunteer wanting to martyr to get the infidels out of Afghanistan. President Obama should the 13 murdered and 30 wounded at Fort Hood along with all our troops.

President Obama should weigh what his chiefs of staff, General McChrystal, VP Biden, General McChrystal, Max Cleland and most of all Mikhail Gorbachev and then as Commander in Chief do the right thing.

Train up the Afghan army and leave, our troops did their job and exemplary. Honor them by letting them pull out with their heads held high. Fed and supply the Afghani’s. Karzai said he will fight the corruption, unite Afghanistan, and defeat the Taliban. So be it, see you later!

The fall of the Berlin wall 20 years later: Lessons not learned!

We did not seize the moment when the wall fell. We squandered it in the name of politics. In this case by Reagan, G H W Bush and G W Bush for the Republican Party and their harmful braggart bullying in your face Politics.

Instead of showing the better part of valor and just shutting up and seizing the moment for world unity. They used it to say see we are better than you that is why we beat you. The stellar moment of the fall of the Berlin Wall was negated by Reagan and furthered by G W Bush.

20 Years! It was a great moment and it should have been a world changing event but it was not capitalized on for the good of the world but for the good of the Republicans Party and their world dominating fascist agenda.

Reagan, Bush, and other Republican pundits chose to capitalize off the fall of the Berlin wall and the USSR instead of using the moment to unify with Russia for the good of the world and our future. The fall of the wall was a moment for the entire world to share and revel in. We chose to divide and conquer the world instead.

I watched the 20th anniversary celebration in Berlin where 1,000 dominoes representing the Berlin wall all painted by artists around the world were ceremoniously set to falling. It is still a euphoric sight.

I remember 10 years ago when some East Berliner’s wanted the wall back up along with Communism as they found Democracy too competitive. I sensed a change!

It has been 20 years and now that we have president Obama maybe the true meaning of the fall of the Berlin wall and the USSR will take hold. We keep hearing even today that the fall of the wall marked the end of Communism! That is asinine. Isn’t China Communist and using our Democracy and Capitalism very well to further their form of Government?

It is interesting that China is our bank and we can only function today because of China a communist country poised to at least sit side by side as the new leaders of the world.

I do not know if anyone else noted the intelligence of President Obama of not attending the ceremony in Berlin if I remember instead sending Hillary. That would have alienated Russia which Bush would have done on purpose. Obama is smart enough to know Russia is still stinging and we are trying to unite with them too to peacefully move into the future.

30 Years later in Iran: The tale of two protests! Death to America vs. Death to the Dictator!

Tale of Two Protests



We just marked the Iran hostage crisis 30 years later as in Iran the thirty year anniversary of the storming of the US Embassy and the capture of 54 hostages brought the standard death to America crowd burning American flags. Something new is as they have been doing since the stolen elections the protesters took to the streets.

Pro and anti Government forces took to the streets. Some shouting death to America, many in the streets shouting "Obama are you with us" Of course as usual it got violent as pro Government and militia started attacking the protesters firing shots, tear gas, and clubbing. The protesters were fewer in number but they still came out and they will not be quelled but I am really fearing for the lives of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi.

In Iran, rival rallies show rift endures with protesters and America haters 30 years after the Revolution!
There is a very in depth breakdown of events at the link above but the Government knew the protesters would take the excuse of the Anti American celebration at the embassy to come out and protest the stolen elections despite since the June stolen election that there has been numerous killed, imprisoned, tortured, and falsely sentenced so the current regime could remain on the fascist agenda.

The Government who in the past I have said numerous times is now controlled by the Revolutionary Guard that was originally set up to protect it., announced to the public that if the protesters came out they would be dealt with harshly and the only chant allowed would be shouts of "Death to America" in the Government sanctioned rallies outside the Embassy outside the Embassy stormed by Iranian students in 1979.

As you may remember 54 Americans were held hostage for 444 days, the Iranian Government of the Shah fell, and Ayatollah Khomeini came to power. Also as you may remember President Carter attempted a rescue of the hostages but it ended in disaster with the collision of helicopters in the desert and the death of some would be rescuers. The hostages were then held for 444 days until they were released after Reagan's election. A fact Republicans love to brag about!

It is ironic that since the stolen election to keep the Fascist Ahmadinejad in control the children of the Revolution have been constantly persecuted and often maimed and killed. I just want to remind you of something once again denied and no longer talked about but you know it is true. That is Ahmadinejad's involvement in the 1979 events at the Embassy when he was a student. As you know, he went on to a career in the IRG and is now President of Iran though illegitimate.

I do remember when tensions erupted between Bush and Ahmadinejad pictures emerged of student Ahmadinejad being involved with the Embassy take over and resulting hostage taking of the 54 Americans and was dismissed as phony. 30 years later amidst dueling protests and shouts of Death to America and Death to Ahmadinejad the Dictator Obama penned a response for Iran's Government in Farsi drawing a line in the sand saying the future was up to them. In Iran, rival rallies show rift endures

It sickens me that once again thanks to cell phone footage and commentary from the protests saying Mousavi was kept under house arrest so he could not go to the protests, the protests were brutally suppressed, and in fact Karroubi was over taken by tear gas and had to be carried away to his vehicle. That was denied despite the Government said he was facing possible death. Yeah by them and of course it would or will be blamed on the US. Check out their denial! Iran Disputes Press Coverage of Day of Protests

As I have said numerous times since the stolen election despite the persecution imprisonment and killing of the children of the Revolution this will continue until it erupts into a one sided full blown 2nd Revolution as we ourselves seem to be facing right here thanks to Republican instigation.

Obama is in part continuing Bush's Fascist agenda only kinder and gentler!

I keep hearing how Obama has us on the road to Fascism. Not in every instance but he is largely traveling on the road Bush paved. Look what we were saying under Bush! This was a common theme of mine with Bush. Not only the 14 threads of Fascism but look at the 10 steps to end a Democracy. It is a quick one and I illustrate us! They blame everything on Obama too! Fascism under Bush

Now I want to relist the 10 steps listed to end a Democracy as they pertain to us and you will agree.

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy. The enemy is us! After 9/11 the Patriot act was passed, fear constantly pressed on us and Bush started his power grab.
2. Create a gulag . Once you have got everyone scared, the next step is to create a prison system outside the rule of law, FEMA Concentration camps!
3. Develop a thug caste: Blackwater and private security even at times various Governmental agencies.
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals: Threaten civil servants
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason: We know only Bushco can commit treason as they set up their new America
10. Suspend the rule of law: The John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 gave the president new powers over the national guard. He can now send New York's national guard against another State if "He" deems necessary!

Remember the 14 common threads of Fascism: keep the entire world in mind but particularly how everyone of them applies in America today. This is scary!

* 1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism. Bingo!

* 2. Disdain for the importance of human rights. Bingo!

* 3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Bingo!

* 4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism. Bingo!

* 5. Rampant sexism. Bingo, Bingo, Bingo!

* 6. A controlled mass media. Bingo!

* 7. Obsession with national security. Bingo!

* 8. Religion and ruling elite tied together. Bingo!*

9. Power of corporations protected. Bingo!

* 10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated. Bingo!

* 11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts. Bingo! (at the link read how it does apply)

* 12. Obsession with crime and punishment. Bingo!

* 13. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Bingo!

* 14. Fraudulent elections. Bingo!*
Read the explanations it's alarming

Cheney, the Greatest Con in History!

Last week in a Bush Administration reunion The war mongering liar Dick Cheney received the super-prestigious "Keeper of the Flame" award and watched as beloved Bush administration felon Scooter Libby was honored with the "Service Before Self" award for falling on the sword for Cheney and being a first class liar which was a prerequisite for being involved with the Bush mis Administration. Shit eating grins all around! However a retired General did slam Cheney for his war fighting ineptitude

It was shocking that criminal charges were never taken out against Cheney as it was obvious the arrogant scum lied about everything. Cheney when questioned lied and said he did not remember anything about Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, or Scooter Libby but there he is on a stage getting the Keeper of the Flame Award for being treasonous next to Scooter receiving the Service Above Self Award for sacrificing himself to protect Cheney. They all had great laughs as they got away with their treason and were rewarded it for it.

That lying war mongering arrogant scum said I don't remember "72" times. That unequivocally means "I'm lying" I do not care what you think, I do not have to cooperate with you peons, and you can't touch me ..I.. (You know what that means? up yours! They are both famous for that. Bush and Cheney were and are lying, Scooter Libby continues to lie. He fell on the sword for Cheney and was issued the "service Before Self" Award. I just do not get it! How do they continue to get away with this FU in your face lying arrogance thumbing their nose at us and America and putting the Democrats down and get away with it?

Libby and Cheney along with the whole bunch of cronies on the stage had sh@* eating grins knowing we lied and we not only got away with it but got awarded for it. Cheney had memory loss when Federal investigators questioned him. He had amnesia, he doesn't remember, he has no recollection. That lying crap who once bragged about never forgetting anything. Remembering everything! I wish he was still in that undisclosed location. I wish he would cut the obvious lying BS. I can not believe he continues to get away with these lies!

This idiot doesn't act like a vice President. He acts like the guilty defendant he is! We are powerless to do anything about it! We were flat out lied to until Cheney and Bush found a lie people would believe so they could attack Iraq to start what they thought would be their new middle east order but you know it as disorder.

Libby's own notes prove Cheney lies but it does not bother Cheney he does not digress. Scooter had Valerie Plame issues he discussed with Cheney written down and Cheney still gets away with lying saying he doesn't remember any of it. Who cares if he remembers it, we know he did it! How does he get away with saying he doesn't remember? All he could remember is that he had nothing to do with the treasonous act of outing Plame as a CIA agent because her husband disagreed with the lies he and Bush were saying.

He said he knew absolutely nothing about who outed Valerie Plame when Scooter Libby had it written on paper that Cheney told him. I don't get it? Libby is now a felon and they give ham a friggen Award for it. Service above self yeah lying for Cheney at our and the world's expense. This all sickens me! We are lied to beginning to end and they laugh at us. WTF? What about Karl Rove who they said was not involved and we found out he was and we could do nothing about it?

We never got the truth and we never will! As usual when someone finally does tell the truth they are just dismissed as a conspiracy theorist or a disgruntled employee. Bush declassified information at Cheney's request who then gave it to Libby to leak! Valerie Plame was outed, no one remembers anything, and their are accolades sh@* eating grins and awards all around, have a nice day!

Cheney treated the media and all of us with total disdain and still is in his attempt to make Obama fail. He knows everything but tells nothing unless it benefits his lies. He is a totally lying fascist war mongering scum and we will never be able to hold him accountable nor will we and the world ever recover from their all pervasive damage for years to come if ever!
