FOX News Owner Rupert Murdoch Gives Republicans One Million



The Jon Stewart video was fantastic puts fox in an even worse light and just blows me away that they are leading the way against the so called ground zero mosque and they are bad mouthing the Muslim funding it, getting on the Democrats for being on his side and he is a damn part owner of Fox and was a Bush cronie. I am so sick of this crap.

A coalition of watchdog groups is asking the White House Correspondents' Association to reconsider Fox News's front-row seat assignment in light of a $1 million donation by its parent company to the Republican Governors Association. A letter from the coalition called the donation from News Corporation "a massive ethical lapse that demonstrates Fox News’ inability to function as an objective media institution."

Damn straight, get rid of them and take them off the air. They are the major threat to our Democracy as they enable the fascist Republican party!

Iran says Middle East peace talks futile: I agree because neither side want peace only war to win their way or so they think

Iran says Middle East peace talks futile

Housing vs. peace is Israeli quandary Even before peace talks with the Palestinians begin, Israel’s government is fiercely debating a key concession: whether to extend a slowdown of West Bank settlement construction. Israeli officials confirmed Monday that the government is in quiet talks with the United States in search to at least some continued construction in secret talks with the US. I hate to say it but I agree with Iran. Stop the building and give the Palestinians their homeland now!

Ayalon: Israel will react to Iran attack



I reiterate: Palestinians for their part are doing their share for peace but it is futile: They are willing to let Israel control the wailing wall and just want East Jerusalem as their capital but there is no way in hell Israel is going to give that up as they swear it belongs to them. It does not belong to them. They do not want peace unless they get everything they want and they will not. This will only end in war and we will be dragged in. That is why Bush ignored Afghanistan to get into the Middle East. Right from the get go helping Israel against Iran was the goal.

Again I reiterate there will never be peace in the Middle East, period! Only the UN wants it, Israel wants it her way and Iran/Syria want Israel obliterated, period. Israel and Iran have long been in preparation for this confrontation. 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.

The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.[1] The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran. We are so concerned about Pakistan and Iran today in regard to nuclear abilities and nuclear weapons and security. I was blown away to find out that we built the first nuclear Reactors in both Iran and Pakistan. Nuclear program of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia atoms for peace

I would have to assume this was after we overthrew the democratically elected President of Iran Mohammad Mosaddeq to install our ruthless puppet the Shah of Iran. We built and supplied Iran's first reactor because we thought we were in control. What the hell is wrong with us? That makes us personally responsible for the 1979 Revolution in Iran, the capture of our hostages, the disaster in the desert after a failed attempt to rescue them, the rise of the Revolutionary Guard, the protesters dilemma, the nuclear issue in Iran today, everything!

You know, I have long said that Iran’s civilian nuclear program is a cover for their nuclear weapons program. Now I see that Arab leaders feel the same way. They fear a nuclear arms race and I can only conclude that knowing how far along Iran is and how they feel that they are hedging their bets and it is already under way clandestinely.

On the other side there is Israel! I realized a long time ago that Israel is the world's chief war monger and we seem to do their bidding and fighting. If they get into a war with Iran we will end up coming to their rescue regardless of what they do or what Hillary says and that is sad! We should in fact take care of Jewish American's and American's and our interests in Israel and otherwise tell them in no uncertain terms they are on their own if they continue to instigate war not peace and expecting us to come to their rescue.

Remember Mordechai Vanunu whistle blower of Israel's clandestine nuclear program? Uzi Eilam former head of Israel's Atomic Energy Commission said Mordechai Vanunu did Israel a favor after revealing information about an illegal nuclear program at Israel's Dimona reactor. His information proved that Israel had broken the 1968 treaty on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.

There is a US law that prohibits the support of countries that break the treaty in question. Vanunu's information led foreign experts to conclude that Israel had produced fissile material for as many as 200 atomic warheads thus warning other Nation's of Israel's military might. It was okay for Israel why the hypocrisy? Remember Mordechai Vanunu whistle blower of Israel's clandestine nuclear program?

It was okay for Israel why the hypocrisy? Remember this discussion? The US will pay the price for Israel and US nuclear lies and hypocrisy after Israel attacks!

I must admit Israel's hypocrisy and lies are a plan I have discussed often and I have to disagree with Eliam's final assertion. He says an attack on Iran's nuclear program would be counter productive. I beg to differ! The General hit the nail on the head though and does not know it. I have long asserted that Israel would attack Iran's nuclear interests and we would come to her rescue.

That is a fact that is why I find his final statement troubling and prophetic. He correctly said One strike is not practical. In order to delay the Iranian program for three to four years one needs an armada of aircraft, which only a super-power can provide. Only America can do it. Bingo! You know from numerous discussions here that Iran is involved in every Middle Eastern country not just Yemen, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia where they have corrupted elections for Shiite interests in Iraq, backing rebels in Yemen, and instigating attacks on Saudi oil fields. Bush freed Iran to instigate far and wide and they are.

Israel is not going to back down neither will Iran. When all is said and done Israel knows the US will be there for them. It is time for Iran to put up or shut up! I am sure the US plans to come to Israel's rescue and do it largely from the Gulf with numerous carrier fighter groups. If it is really war they want stop the blustering and get on with it. It is getting closer!

Biden Urges DNC to Reject Grim Election Forecast: He's right, remember the tea party seeks a hostile take over of the GOP and the US ?

Biden Urges DNC to Reject Grim Election Forecast He is dead right to say if it was legal he would make book on it I would too!

The Republican divide: K Street vs. Tea Partiers Remember the tea party idiots want to take over the Republican party not be subservient to it?

I remember being disgusted when I heard Rick Santelli who in February 2009 called for a new "tea party" from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. We are hearing that he reminded all of us that America was founded on the revolutionary principle of citizen participation, citizen activism and the primacy of the individual over the government. That's supposedly the tea party ethos. I seriously doubt it but check out the links if curious.

Dick Armey's Tea-Party Coup‎ The movement is not seeking a junior partnership with the Republican Party. It is aiming for a hostile takeover.

Armey: Tea Party Seeks 'Hostile Takeover' of GOP Armey stated: "Let us be clear about one thing: The tea party movement is not seeking a junior partnership with the Republican Party, but a hostile takeover of it." That is a good thing he said and I have to agree it is a good thing but for the Democratic party!

I for one needed no reminder certainly by Rick Santelli and the majority of the ilk that call themselves tea partiers wanting to protect the Constitution and "get their country back" from our black President who happens to be a constitutional lawyer who loves the constitution as it was meant to be interpreted not the fascist Republican interpretation of the constitution or should I say rewriting of the aforementioned constitution.

Some of us were calling for a tea party movement, a second revolution, when it was really needed when Bush usurped the constitution as he was the sole decider and called the constitution "just a damn piece of paper".He purposely brought America to its knees in his quest to widen the gap between the classes eliminating the middle class and further enriching the upper class as he created a new societal order. The fascist Republican order.

That was when we needed to come together take to the streets and stand up and take our America back, take back the America of we the people. These so called patriotic tea partiers want the white supremacist America back is what I gather and I am very concerned as you know, about Republicans getting back in to finish off us and the Bush agenda off.

You know that includes social security, Medicaid, and Medicare, as that is socialism and aiding the elderly sickly and retired are bankrupting their version of America. You who truly love this country as it was meant to stand better stand up and be heard especially at the polls to beat back those who want to stop the restoration of our America. I happen to agree with Biden and we all have to make sure people remember the Palin's and nut case Bachmanns and what Republicans will do if they get back in control and get out to vote. In the end it is up to us the independents and democrats!

Rising sea of Arabia and a broken dam forces the Indus river to flow backwards and the Taliban threaten those that take help! WTF?

river changes direction 150 more villages endangered

Things are getting worse and worse for those people as they starve and disease spreads. Meanwhile the people are being threatened not to take help from outsiders and outside aid organizations are being threatened with their lives. WTF? Flooding in Pakistan Spreads South

Officials in flood-ravaged Pakistan urge 500000 new evacuations

survived Pakistan's floods but killed by disease


Take help where you can get it and worry about the repercussions later. Survival first! Go after the Taliban and Al Qaeda later as many have already done. The floods, triggered by unusually heavy monsoon downpours over the upper Indus river basin, are Pakistan's worst natural disaster in terms of the extent of damage caused and the number of people affected.

Put in perspective 2 weeks ago, Maurizio Giuliano, a spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said if the Pakistan government's calculations are correct, the scale of the disaster could be worse than Haiti's January earthquake, the 2004 tsunami, and the 2005 Pakistan earthquake combined.

This is still getting worse and then the disease and people receiving help threatened? Aid workers trying to help them threatened with death or more aptly as the spokesman said when we are against what you are doing you know what that means. Those people need help who cares where they get it. The Taliban and Al Qaeda should be thankful they are getting it and play their deadly games later.

Wave of deadly bombings hits Iraq as we leave Iraq to Bush's Middle East Breakdown, This is going well?

There were multiple explosions around Baghdad including three explosions, in Haifa Street, in Karrada, and in Ahmeriya, injuring 11 people all credited to Al Qaeda. I happen to think it is Iran but with 85 people so far killed in August. Those people are screwed. At least 55 people were killed in about two dozen bombings and shootings, most of them targeting police, across Iraq.

There were  incidents:in Kut, south of Baghdad, a suicide car bomber attacked a police station, killing at least 15 people and injuring 84, in Kirkuk, a car bomb killed one person and injured eight, in Falluja, a soldier was killed and 10 people injured when a suicide bomber drove into an Iraqi army convoy, in Tikrit, a roadside bomb killed a policeman and wounded another, in Basra, a car exploded as police towed it from a parking lot, killing one person and injuring eight, in Ramadi, a car exploded as two alleged bombers were working on it, while a second car exploded about 1km away, killing at least two, in Karbala, a suicide car bomb exploded at police checkpoint at the entrance to police station, injuring 30 people Wave of deadly bombings hits Iraq, 13 cities in all and many once considered safe!

Gen Zebari said: "At this point the withdrawal is going well, because they [US troops] are still here. But the problem will start after 2011. The politicians must find other ways to fill the void after 2011. If I were asked about the withdrawal, I would say to politicians: 'The US army must stay until the Iraqi army is fully ready in 2020.'" Why US withdrawal unlikely to change

They will never be ready and are right to be concerned but this civil war and total Middle East breakdown was guaranteed the day Bush attacked Iraq and he knew it! Iraqi's have to be scared to death knowing we will leave them alone to their demise, their civil war and middle east breakdown that will spread throughout the middle east compliments of Bush.

Iraqi forces still frail as US troops head home: Mission accomplished, the middle east breakdown will continue as scheduled. President Barack Obama vowed to make good on his promise to end U.S. combat operations in Iraq by the end of August, despite a dangerous political deadlock in Baghdad and a recent surge in militant violence. Iraqi forces still frail as US troops head home

This is no victory! I have been saying this from day one of this guaranteed failure but for those who have not read it I will again reiterate what Bush knew would happen but ignored to do Gods work and "fix" the Middle East: War-torn Baghdad is the worst, a survey said for its annual survey, Mercer assessed the quality of living in 221 cities worldwide ranking Baghdad #221 the absolute worst. Baghdad ranked 221st, remaining at the bottom of the list with rankings also based on water availability and drinkability, waste removal, quality of sewage systems, air pollution and traffic congestion. The basic necessities of life! vienna is best city to live in, Baghdad worst: study

A 2007 U.S. Report gave Blame to Iraqi's for Bush's Guaranteed Failures!

While we continuously listened to the lies and propaganda that Bush has had many successes in Iraq and that his surge succeeded We already know but many of Bush's declared successes are in fact failures. Low and behold it all boils down to Security fears. What a surprise! What happened to his successful surge? Kill all the Al Qaeda you want they can not still provide the basic needs of life in a successful society.

Isn't that Bush's fault? If he had stayed in Afghanistan as he should have instead of diverting from the war on terror to attack Iraq so he could start implementing his new middle east order, Iraq may have had a Dictator but they would have security, electricity, water, fuel, and a lot more than they have now or will have in the future.

Al Maliki, Alawi, or whoever takes control they cannot and will not bring stability back to Iraq. Despite the political rhetoric it will get a lot worse and then spread throughout the entire middle east. We will never be able to bring services anywhere close to the level they were at when Saddam was in power. It is laughable to think that anyone thought they would be better post Saddam.

The Congressional investigation into reconstruction in Iraq found that six out of eight projects the Bush administration claimed to be a success were falling apart, throwing doubts over the long-term viability of much of the $30 billion program. I have to tell you, the entire program, the surge, Democracy, everything, was guaranteed lost from the get go. What ever is built will be destroyed.

The report which was published 3 years ago but could be today, looked at hospital projects that at last count there was only one capable of operating at all. It does not matter how much money or effort we put into Iraq. Iraqi's as a whole do not want new Iraqi order they want their own version. They want the basic needs of life satisfied and they do not care who supplies them in the end.

Each sect is only concerned with looking out for their own interest and future and as we are told to ignore everyday because it is not "the reality on the ground" reality is much worse! The inspectors found serious plumbing and electrical failures due to looting, equipment lying idle to me primarily because people are scared to death to venture out into the reality Bush has created for them. US report blaming Iraqi's for failures

From the Political system to the oil Industry, Hospitals, electricity, plumbing, security, everything, It will not be turned around and will only get a lot worse before it spreads throughout the entire middle east. Supposedly we are hoping to start withdrawing our troops this year and have them all out by next fall. Regardless of what happens we better stick to that schedule, leave whatever supplies the Iraqi's need, and see just how much they want to live together under a system that will supply their needs. It is in the end up to them!

I have to reiterate something I have said too many times since Bush chose to ignore all warnings of total civil war spreading throughout the entire Middle East so he could attack Iraq and straighten out the Middle East as God spoke to him and instructed him to. You know I firmly believe and have said so a million times by now that since 9/11 everything was construed to allow Bush to gain the power he needed to prosecute his new order not just in the Middle East but on the entire world! He diverted from Afghanistan to get back into the Middle East with the goal of setting up a larger safety zone for Israel and going after Iran.

Bush has created a hell on earth for Iraq that he calls liberty and success with promises to spread it throughout the entire Middle East and now Obama has no choice but to let it happen. We are leaving 50,000 troops thereto supposedly train for another year and the way Afghanistan is failing as expected because Bush ignored it to get back into the middle East to create a new (dis)order Iraq. will fail unless we go back and we will not be able to. The Middle East is still a massive disaster that has yet to begin but it is coming closer every day. Don't forget Iran!

Al-Shabab avow 'massive' Somali war, attack Mogadishu hotel, killing at least 31 people, in war on "invaders" So it begins!

In May I was concerned Mogadishu would fall and wrote a story US to boost covert operations: Will Mogadishu fall? Africa and the world can not allow it! Now I am more concerned than ever!

At the time Hizbul-Islam and Al-shabab's long simmering battle amongst themselves has erupted into open warfare. The interim Government was pretty happy about this as they think they will be busy killing each other and not them and the African Union troops but they should not be. They smell blood as they sense victory over the so called Government.

They were and were strong and are fighting to see who comes out on top and gets the palace. Al Shabab is more strict but they both want Islamist rule in Somalia. Al-shabab is also smaller but has Al Qaeda members in its ranks and is confident enough to send fighters over to Yemen to help Al Qaeda there. Islamist rivalry

Al-Shabab avow 'massive' Somali war Fighters attack Mogadishu hotel, killing at least 31 people, in war on "invaders". Al Shabab seems to be on top but not alone and they will unify long enough to sink the Government or take us on if and when need be. Can you Imagine?

Because of our success in Afghanistan and Pakistan's success many Al Qaeda are packing up and leaving the border war for greener pasture in Somalia and a new Jihad! I think that is great but we will then have to deal with them there. We have to and will follow them around the world until they cease and desist! Al Qaeda fighters move into Horn of Africa, officials say

Residents of Mogadishu, Somalia's capital city, have reported seeing foreign fighters among Al-Shabab, the radical Islamic militia that is battling to overthrow the weak transitional government. Increasing amounts of foreign fighters are being reported. Al Qaeda there is not new. They were training there in the early 90s and I am sure everyone remembers Black Hawk down

The western backed Government of former rebel President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed is under increasing attack. This is one more failed case of AlQaeda appeasement. Sheik tried to appease the militants by promising to install Sharia law. Sound familiar? With increasing western support Al Shabab and his growing force of militants are becoming a bigger threat and creating a growing concern.
Somali violence explodes as stabilization fails As you know, with another year it only promises to get much worse.

In closing! Of course we do not want to get involved in Somalia! Pakistan learned first hand the folly of trying the course of appeasement as has Afghanistan and all the rest of the world. With our success in squeezing them in Pakistan and Afghanistan they are moving to Somalia to a new Jihad. Destruction of the western installed Government and the installation of strict Sharia law. We know what that means! Somalia hopefully not in addition to current fronts but it will be the next front in the so called war on terror along with Yemen. Gulf of Aden the next front in the war on terror!

The last US brigade combat team has left Iraq but don't worry they'll be back or else

Iraq: US to cease 'combat', but 50,000 troops to remain



The last US brigade combat team has left Iraq They'll be back!

Shopkeepers in the neighborhood blamed lack of political progress and called promises of security 'empty. No kidding? Iraqi's have to be scared to death knowing we will leave them alone to their demise, their civil war and middle east breakdown that will spread throughout the middle east compliments of Bush. Suicide attack on Iraqi Army frustrates Iraqi hopes for security

Tea party trouble for Republicans as Dick Armey: Tea Party Seeks 'Hostile Takeover' of GOP

I remember being disgusted when I heard Rick Santelli who in February 2009 called for a new "tea party" from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. We are hearing that he reminded all of us that America was founded on the revolutionary principle of citizen participation, citizen activism and the primacy of the individual over the government.

Democrats to use Social Security against GOP this fall, our future depends on it!

Gambling With Social Security On Wall Street A Bad Idea



With Obama address, Democrats revive specter of GOP threat to Social Security The proposition is scary and the threat against social security more than real. Bush's entire Presidency was marked not only with war but by ending FDR's legacy. Remember his drive to reduce unfunded liabilities i.e. social security, Medicaid, and Medicare? Can you imagine the crisis if he was allowed to let social security be privatized as Republicans want to? When the full scope of this financial collapse is realized average Americans would be screwed and there would be a Revolution.

I always said Bush or those behind him learned their lessons well and anything they touched would be much worse than a like event in History. During the Depression when Roosevelt was trying to rebuild America we knew it happened on the Republican's watch and who to blame. They also knew and wanted to help fix it not make it worse as Republicans are doing today.

Anyway think back and you will see that everything was done on purpose and especially the timing was no coincidence. Bush and Greenspan kept the collapse off until he was out of office. People say get over it! Move on! However we will never get over it or be able to forget Bush as much as we want as his damage will affect our and the worlds lives forever. No I am not giving that bunch too much credit.

They shaped our future and the future of the whole world like it or not! Get over it, not hardly! The debt clock had to be started during Reagan's time because of his success but could only register 9 trillion. Because of Bush's so called success it had to be altered to register 10 trillion. Now the debt is moving so fast it is going virile. How far off can bankruptcy be especially knowing how bad it really is? To top it off there is a drive since Bush to reduce unfunded liabilities, the needy!


The "Unfunded Liabilities" Ruse:
Under Bush the mainstream media had been parroting claims that the federal government, particularly the Social Security and Medicare programs, have dozens of trillions of dollars in "unfunded liabilities." For example, USA Today ran a long feature in early October 2004 that proclaimed that "the long-term economic health of the United States is threatened by $53 trillion in government debts and liabilities that start to come due in four years." Many other articles, news reports, and commentary have included comparable numbers that make the fiscal future look not just frightening but entirely unmanageable. Just put Bush's trillions in there and have a real hemorrhage.


These claims appear aimed at scaring us into making radical changes in our social insurance system for old people. But whatever the motivation, how scared should we be? What is true and what is phony about the alarms that fiscal disaster is looming just ahead? Unfunded Liabilities Ruse

It is a frightening thought, discontinuing social security or even cutting social security, Medicaid, and Medicare. It is all millions have. I remember Romney when stumping for McCain saying it should be discontinued and the countries big enemy was the Democrats and their effort to take care of the elderly and the needy. Bush spent years cutting "unfunded liabilities" and trying to wipe out President Roosevelt's legacy. If the Republican's get back in they will do just that.Social Security turns 75, but will it see 75 more? Not if the Republicans have anything to say about it!


All Democrats and all independents better make sure they come out in 2012 to get President Obama reelected, our future depends on it. If Republicans get back it the White House they are going to finish off average Americans and Bush's mis-agenda of destruction.

Despite the lies the Gulf is as bad as we knew it was

There is more than good reason for people that live in the Gulf area to be suffering of depression, worried about their future and ever fishing again, and contemplating starting over elsewhere. Unless they plan on drilling for oil they better start packing while they are still healthy and despite the lies that the shellfish, fish, and shrimp are fine do not touch it period!

I watched a program on cnn and the shrimpers were being forced to go out because of their financial positions and they have families. They found much smaller catches and were concerned their catches were edible of even keepable. They were seeing 3 inch oil balls everywhere and were being warned not to tell anyone. I hope you watched the above video. Trust it, it was independent of BP and Government lies. It was done by University of South Florida.

Gulf oil plume extends 21 miles from sourceAs BP reduces the size of the "vessels of opportunity" program, fishermen who work in more remote areas are expressing concern about oil they have recently spotted in places where boats have not been deployed and they are being told to keep quiet! The oil is not breaking down as they say.


All the way from the deep water horizon to 40 miles south of Panama City they they discovered what they described as a constellation of microscopic droplets of oil and dispersant killing phytoplankton the basic building block of the entire life of the sea. It was headed to Desoto canyon an area critical to all sea life for commercial and sport fishing.

The Government is still lying saying the sea and the fish will break it down and BP is still denying it. I am very troubled for everyone there in particular my sons and grandchildren. I better reiterate the residents very real concerns for those that missed it as we are getting closer to the whole picture and the awful truth:


Gulf PTSD: Pray for Those Suffering from Gulf of Mexico Syndrome , Will BP Pay for the Spill's Toll on Mental Health? No way!

Gulf oil syndrome



More than eight out of 10 respondents reported worrying about their family, friends and community's survival to the complications caused by the environmental disaster. 46 percent said it prevented them from getting a good night’s sleep • 43 percent said it prevented from being able to focus on their usual job or work • 40 percent felt sick to their stomach "some of the time" or ‘almost constantly’ • 38 percent experienced headaches or migraines ‘some of the time’ or "almost constantly" • 34 percent experienced aches and pains ‘some of the time’ or "almost constantly" Gulf residents report anxiety, sleeplessness – Paging Dr. Gupta ...

The toxic formula growing in the Gulf of Mexico is no different than spraying Agent Orange in Viet Nam. All it takes is a strong wind or a hurricane and those of us living along the Gulf Coast are finished. If the toxins don't suffocate us, we will suffer from contaminated potable water. Reality dictates a long term toxicity of air, water and land. Everyone had might as well start preparing by reading all you can find on the internet about Gulf War Syndrome. We're all about to experience it. Gulf of Mexico Illness = Gulf War Illness

children are coming down with respiratory problems from toxic gases, another aspect of the Gulf of Mexico Syndrome is the very real stress and anxiety from knowing you are living in poison and have no way of surviving. While the devastating ecological impacts of BP’s oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico are obvious, the less visible but also long-lasting psychological, community and personal impacts could be worse, according to social scientists, psychologists and psychiatrists.

“People are becoming more and more hopeless and feeling helpless,” Dr. Arwen Podesta, a psychiatrist at Tulane University in New Orleans told Truthout. “They are feeling frantic and overwhelmed. This is worse than [Hurricane] Katrina. There is already more post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and more problems with domestic violence, threats of suicide and alcohol and drugs.” They say they do not know how many years they will be dealing with this but I hate to say it but I want to say "till death do us part" The Indypendent » Gulf Residents Likely Face Decades of ...

Over one-third of parents reported that their children had experienced either physical symptoms or mental health distress as a consequence of the oil spill. One in five households has seen their income decrease as a result of the oil spill, and eight percent have lost jobs. Only five percent of coastal residents reported having received any cash or gift cards from BP, although over fifteen percent believe they may be eligible for compensation from BP for health consequences of the spill.Over one-quarter of coastal residents think they may have to move from the area because of the oil spill. Kenneth Feinberg, who is administering the BP claims process, has said mental health claims will not be covered.Will BP Pay for the Spill's Toll on Mental Health?

Those poor people are screwed and they know it. This is horrible! As we have been saying for months the gulf is dead for fishing they might as well destroy the rest of the earth looking for their frigging oil. At this point it is human life there itself I am concerned about, You know that shit is evaporating and will come down with the rain on crops and in drinking supplies. I wish they would stop their lying! The guy in the tape is right those people's lives do not matter they are just eaters, the little people!

This will be the worst in the world because of where it is, set aside the dispersant added in. This already is the nightmare scenario they are not talking about. You really have to question what it is they are trying to correct with this so called corexit they poured in the gulf to kill everything? Us the eaters who do not matter? The little people, oh the small people!

We are so screwed as we know. We do not matter and instead of doing the right thing for the people and the gulf they are going to lie until once again the awful truth becomes undeniable and they will just act surprised. WTF?

The people in the Gulf might as well keep drilling for oil because their fishing is going to be dead for generations if we are around that long. This is of epic and Biblical proportions. This is life changing, this is planetary changing. Oil swallow, Jean Michal Cousteau, all the special clean up methods aside will be worthless as Billions of gallons of oil and 2 million gallons of deadly dispersant make the trip around the Gulf stream and not only destroy the gulf but diluted or not alter the entire food chain around much of the world.

Their lives are altered forever and they know it! I feel sorry for the likes of my son whose health is sacrificed in wars but him and all our military in the gulf where we have a heavy multi branch presence will be kept there and their long term health mental and physical will be sacrificed. The people who live there along with military families should look at moving elsewhere.

BP supposedly has already paid out 6 Billion of the 20 Billion they have promised. You know that is a pittance. They have already spent a quarter of it and this has barely begun and will be necessary for decades on end. We also know half the claims remain unpaid and millions of Gulf Coast residents are looking to BP to pay for mental health, stress, and depression costs. I am very concerned that BP is going to skip on us as costs mount! You can bet they are working on it. They will form new corporations and shift assets around to screw the people of the Gulf, all taxpayers, and America, file bankruptcy then they will do this again the inept asses they are. WTF?

Taliban 'kill adulterous Afghan couple' in marketplace, Afghani's better wake up and quick, this is their future unless they revolt

The Taliban operates a shadow government, consisting of judges, tax collectors, district governors and commanders, in several parts of Kunduz. A man and a woman who allegedly had an adulterous affair have been stoned and killed in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz. The punishment happened in a crowded bazaar on Sunday in the Taliban-controlled village of Mullah Quli.

It shows that they [the Taliban] want to create a climate of fear. The woman was only 23 and the man 28. They were smart to flee but stupid to return after a Jirga met and declared they could return if compensation was paid. They stoned them both killing the woman and the man lived so they shot him 3 times in the head. This month the Taliban also reportedly flogged and killed a pregnant widow in western Baghdis province. The Taliban warned villagers if anyone does anything un-Islamic, this will be their fate.''
Taliban 'kill adulterous Afghan couple' in marketplace

Those people better wake up and quick! Afghanistan's giant private security industry, which guards everything from western embassies to Nato supply convoys, is set to be scrapped within four months under dramatic new plans from Hamid Karzai.


Afghan citizens better wake up and realize they better help defeat the Taliban at any cost unless they want a return to Sharia Law brutality and public beheading. Remember when the Taliban met out their brutal laws in public in the sports stadium with public floggings, beheading, and amputations of men women and children? Afghan civilians better realize they are in serious trouble if the Taliban get back in control of Afghanistan.

civilian deaths up 31% because of the Taliban From the for what its worth department Afghan Taliban Call for Joint Probe Into Civilian Deaths

They better step up, they are the enemy too, not just Christians and doctors trying to help them. Remember just a few weeks back
Taliban leader Mullah Omar ordered Taliban fighters to kill Afghan civilians, contradicting orders he issued last year. Remember that farce they called a code of conduct to protect civilians. Yes civilians are dying from both sides. As usual they get the shit end of the stick!

In a statement NATO said it intercepted orders that Mullah Omar gave to subordinate commanders at the beginning of June. It says he instructed fighters to kill Afghans who work with NATO or the Afghan government, and to kill women who provide information to coalition forces. I have to ask what's changed really?

There was no immediate reaction to the claim from Taliban leaders but since they have said themselves they would kill anyone they think is a threat to them as they killed those Doctors as spies for the west. NATO says Mullah Omar ordered the Taliban to kill civilians

More than 1,000 Afghan civilians were killed in armed violence and security incidents in the first six months of 2010, a new Afghan study says. Afghanistan Rights Monitor says 1,074 civilians were killed between January and June - a slight increase compared with the same period in 2009. However, the number of people killed in NATO air strikes in the same period has halved, the report says. Changes to rules of engagement helped reduce that figure, the report says. Afghanistan civilian casualties on the rise compliments of Mullah Omar

We managed to lower the number of civilians killed so Mullah Omar has ordered the Taliban to kill as many as possible. I would hope the civilians in turn, turn on them. Their lives are on the line. They have got to stand up! The Taliban was on a public relations drive. The militants fighting on fronts from Afghanistan to Pakistan feared they were losing the propaganda war among their own people so the leadership released a new "code of conduct" for fighters in the field.

This new code of conduct is a death threat to all Afghan civilians by Mullah Omar and the Taliban, those that want to control them. They better read the writing on the wall and do something about outing Mullah Omar and the militant Taliban if it is even possible. The mentality around the world has always been if you do not win the people you can not win the war. The Taliban have proven they do not care about the people. They will kill them and those that try to help them.

I have said frequently that civilians in Pakistan have formed Lashkars (civilian militia) and have taken on the Taliban and Afghan tribes and civilians better do the same thing. We should get out give them food and supplies and monitor the situation with drones. See if the people and the Government will stand up or be kowtowed by the Taliban. They must see the choice before them.

With 20 Million Affected by Pakistan's Floods Impact of Pakistan flood equal to 1947 partition

Knowing the magnitude of the floods in Pakistan and the enormous amount of people affected drawing comparisons to their biggest calamity the break up of India and the forming of Pakistan I thought I would supply links as to what is happening today so you could read up on what you wanted and follow it up with a little history of the area including Afghanistan whose displaced because of the war are trapped in the floods in Pakistan.
Gilani: 20 Million Affected by Pakistan's Floods
Cholera confirmed in Pakistani flood disaster

Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Saturday that 20 million people have been affected by the worst floods in his country's history. Impact of Pakistan floods as bad as 1947 partition, says prime minister

Flood-ravaged Pakistan cancels Independence Day events

knowing how we have indiscriminately set Muslim borders in many Instances and have caused these problems ourselves by dividing and cutting off whole peoples I decided to once again look at the forming of modern Afghanistan, the border there, and the forming of Pakistan from India.

First Afghanistan: Afghanistan is an ancient land. Its early history, like the early history of the republics of Central Asia to the east of the Caspian Sea, is virtually the same as the history of ancient Iran. even knowing this I was pretty surprised looking at the failures of the Brits and others to impose there will there over the years to no avail and here we are attempting to do it once again and it will fail once again. You will want to read the rich history of the region. I was impressed. Anyway: In 1893, when the Durand line was drawn and modern Afghanistan was created, the region of present-day Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was populated by two main ethnic groups: Indo-European and Turkish. Some pockets of Arab nomads, Hindus, and Jews also lived in the region mostly close to the Panj River valley. The Indo-European population was a continuation of the dominant Indo-Iranian branch in the north and west centered in the cities of Bukhara and Tehran, respectively. The Hindu Kush mountain divided this Indo-Iranian population into four ethnic zones: Pushtuns to the south and southeast; Tajiks to the northeast of the Hindu Kush range; Parsiwans to the west; and Baluch to the southwest

The Pushtuns, who later (1950's) made an unsuccessful attempt at creating a Pushtunistan, numbered about 13,000,000. They populated what is present-day southern Afghanistan and the Tribal Agencies and Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan. The Tajiks, over 10,000,000, populated what are the present-day republics of Tajikistan, southern Uzbekistan, and northeastern Afghanistan. The Parsiwan, about 600,000, populated the western region of present-day Afghanistan. And the Baluch, numbering 100,000 populated southwestern Afghanistan. The Turkic population lived in the north. Ethnically, they were Uzbeks, Kyrgyzes, and Turkmens who had entered Central Asia some as early as the 11th century, others during the 15th and 16th centuries. In addition, there was a relatively large population of Hazarahs who lived in the central highlands of present-day Afghanistan. The Hazarahs and Aimaq are usually regarded as remnants of the Mongol hordes that invaded Central Asia in the 13th century.

The Afghanistan that emerged from the Russian/British agreement of 1893 consists of partial populations from among the groups mentioned above, especially after the expansion of the Uzbek group at the expense of the Tajik. Afghanistan's present-day ethnic mix includes some 8 million Pushtuns; 5.6 million Tajiks; 1.5 million Hazarahs; 1.5 million Uzbeks; 60,000 Parsiwans; 125,000 Turkmens; and 200,000 Baluchis. Several thousand Kyrgyzes, Arabs, and other ethnic groups also make Afghanistan their home.

Along side this Britain Broke up India forming amongst other things Pakistan also dividing whole Religions and peoples at their whim!

Pakistan was created for a very simple reason: religion. The sprawling land mass that was colonial India under British rule was partitioned into three distinct places. Each one of these was created because the majority of its inhabitants worshiped one of two religions, Hinduism and Islam. This happened in 1947, and trouble has ensued ever since. The independence movement in India began in earnest in the last half of the 19th Century. It then gained strength in the early part of the 20th Century, as nationalism swept Asia and Africa as it had Europe a century before. Crusaders such as Mohandas Gandhi began campaigning for independence from Britain. The independence campaign gained international focus, thanks in large part to the actions of Gandhi and a few other brave people, and the pressure was finally too much for Britain to ignore.

India, however, was not just one country full of like-minded people when it came to worship. Two fundamentally different religions dominated the soulful landscape of the world's second most populous country. The conflict between followers of those two faiths transcended the partition from Colonial India into India and Pakistan. Hinduism, one of the world's oldest religions, had millions of adherents living in India. Islam did as well, though its history was much shorter. The British partitioned Colonial India according to population concerns. India was then and continues to be populated mostly by Hindus. Pakistan, on the other hand, had and continues to have a mostly Muslim population. However, neither of these are homogenous, and the partition separated many people from their families.

Much like the building of the Berlin Wall did, the partitioning of India created more problems than it solved. India was a mostly Hindu country, yes, but it had a sizable Muslim minority. The same was true, in reverse, for Pakistan, which was actually two landscapes to begin with. In 1947, Pakistan was actually West Pakistan and East Pakistan, with India squarely in the middle. India divided both Pakistan's without a way to connect the two. East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971. The sudden division of the colony into two separate countries led to mass exodus. Muslims went to Pakistan and Hindus to India. Some estimates put the "population exchange" at more than 14 million. The exoduses led to mass chaos and mass hysteria, often accompanied by violence. In many cases, faith-based massacres occurred behind country lines. Why was Pakistan formed

** It just blows me away knowing Africa was divvied up at the Berlin Conference and after Colonization ended new lines were drawn up dividing Muslim people and others that hate each other, and what we did in the same regard to the middle east, and here with Pakistan and Afghanistan, I continue to be blown away that there are those that stupidly say we did nothing wrong! We did nothing to deserve 9/11, well! We did everything period! That aside I refuse to believe that we think we are going to impose our will in Pakistan and Afghanistan despite the history and what we have done. We have not and will not be able to separate Muslim blood or make one get along with the other. We are succeeding at digging the hole deeper and deeper!

India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, will there ever be peace there or anywhere else in Islam where we have interfered taken what we wanted and reset the boundaries forcing people of difference to live amongst each other, compete, fight, and kill each other? I doubt it!

In response to the ground zero Mosque Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld is building a gay bar next door for gay Muslims, This has to stop

Mosque Planned Near Ground Zero



The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations can run bus ads all over the country that opposes radical Islamic influence in the United States

Okay we should put all this too a halt and put an end to what has become a joke: Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld announced on his blog the Daily Gut that he has aims to open a Ground Zero–area gay bar catering to Muslim men in the space next to the proposed mosque. “As you know, the Muslim faith doesn't look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why he's building this bar.

With typical Republican BS he says it is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world,” the Red Eye host wrote “that after all, the belief driving them to open up their center near Ground Zero, is no different than mine.” Ahem. Just imagine that will you! We have to stop this crap. The stuff I have been hearing of late is getting worse and worse.

Gutfeld insists, multiple times, that he is “dead serious on this one,” and announces that he has “spoken to a number of investors” about the project. (For what it’s worth, Red Eye’s Andy Levy corroborates Gutfeld’s earnestness.) Reactions to the proposal have been mixed. Mediaite’s Jon Bershad, for instance, characterized the idea as “brilliant,” explaining, “just because I support Muslim Americans in their fight against anti-Islam prejudice, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get a few dings for their religion’s own prejudice against homosexuals.”

The conservative Hot Air blog, itself against the construction of the Ground Zero mosque, the gay bar is, metaphorically, a mosque equivalent. According to the site, both the bar and the cultural center “needlessly [inflame] cultural tensions in the ostensible service of liberal values” and both “celebrate tolerance regardless of the sensitivities of the surrounding area.” In any event, the stunt will certainly put Gutfeld on the map, if not, necessarily, his Muslim gay bar. Fox News Host Announces Plans for Muslim Gay Bar Next to Ground Zero Mosque

I must admit it is a brilliant idea but how the hell can they say a gay bar and a mosque are equivalent? I have said too many times and for too many years that like it or not this is a war on Islam that is being forced on us from the extremists in the Republican party and the Muslim extremists. The anti Muslim anti Mosque movement is spreading throughout the United States and it is the tea partiers doing it.Far from ground zero, opponents fight new mosques - Yahoo! News

This saber rattling and fear mongering by Republicans in hopes of winning elections in November are out right lies, sick and dangerous to the country. We are screwed if common sensed Democrats to not come out to vote. The fanaticism is frigging outrageous and crazy! What the hell is in Texas water anyway? I heard Texas Representatives Louie Gohmart and Debbie Riddle talking about this fear crap I never heard before.

Texas Representatives Louie Gohmart and Debbie Riddle have created a new weapon of fear mongering called terror babies! They admit they have no evidence of course but just want to promote fear. They say it is happening and the Obama Government is ignoring the fact that terrorists are crossing our border to have anchor babies that will grow up to kill us with dirty bombs. WTF? This has to stop!

Those right wing fear mongers really piss me off. The guy wanting to build it was Bush's representative and he is great. There is already one near by. There are 2 churches, a brothel, and bars closer than that center. I am so sick of this screaming BS just to bring down Obama and get those scum in to finish us off. This has to stop, mature up!

North Korea last week fired more than 100 rounds of artillery into the waters off its west coast some reportedly landing in South Korean waters

Another example of escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula as open conflict gets closer, China better step up now, somehow
example of escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, North Korea on Monday fired more than 100 rounds of artillery into the waters off its west coast some reportetly landing in South Korean waters according to South Korea's Defense Ministry. The move came one day after the North seized a South Korean fishing boat and its seven-man crew that officials claimed had violated North Korea's exclusive economic zone.


It was good to hear that 3 of the crew that were captured from the South Korean fishing boat were Chinese nationals. China has since expressed concern that 3 of her citizens were taken by North Korea.

As we keep saying, China is critical in Asia's future and resolving the issues between the Korea's as we have said numerous times. I hope they step up! As we discussed in the past, being North Korea's next door neighbor China has more at stake than anyone except North Korea. They must do more! China does not seem to have the leverage they use to or I thought they had. They do have an abstract leverage!

They should want to be key players here, I refuse to believe they want a nuclear war and right there. They better step up and take control of this situation as only they are in a position to do.They are our banker and we owe them trillions. Being North Korea's immediate neighbor they would be the recipient of hundreds of thousands of refugees if not more. Regardless of the past that is gone. We have to be concerned with the future now and China better stop playing games here. This is no joke!.

* Remember the so called axis of evil coined by Bush as Iraq, Iran, and North Korea? Well we created a crisis in the Middle East by attacking Iraq and we are now facing the other members of the so called axis of evil as they too are crises getting ready to come to a head. We have instigated all of this! What a frigging future and I blame it all on Bush's warmongering. China can and must so more!

Muslims meet the anti mosque tea party movement

The ADL is the leading Jewish civil rights group in the U.S. and said in a statement Friday that it was "saddened" and "stunned" by Zakaria's decision to hand back his Award. Personally I was stunned by the Anti-Defamation League's stance! Columnist and TV host Fareed Zakaria has returned a First Amendment award and $10,000 stipend to the Anti-Defamation League in protest of the organization's opposition to a proposed mosque near ground zero.

The proposed mosque in New York has drawn opposition from half Governor Sarah Palin who should not even be a thought and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich who have called its proposed presence near the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history inappropriate. Scary sources!

That said, I was taken aback when Last week, Abraham Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League, an organization created to fight religious intolerance, said the city "would be better served if an alternative location could be found. I happen to agree with that but because of extremists and nothing else but I guess the ADL of only against discrimination against Jews not anyone else.

Like it or not this is going to end up being a war against Islam because of the extremists Muslims and on the other side right here the extremist Republicans instigating for war against Islam. Italy, Switzerland, France, the fear of Muslims and their symbol is spreading across Europe but I am sick to see the idiots on the right and not just the tea baggers spreading that fear across America.

In Murfreesboro, Tenn., Republican candidates have denounced plans for a large Muslim center proposed near a subdivision, and hundreds of protesters turned out. In Temecula, Calif., members of a local Tea Party group took dogs and picket signs to Friday prayers at a mosque that is seeking to build a new worship center on a vacant lot nearby. In Sheboygan, Wis., a few Christian ministers led a noisy fight against a Muslim group that sought permission to open a mosque in a former health food store bought by a Muslim doctor. Christian Ministers what the hell?

In all of the recent conflicts, opponents have said their problem is Islam itself. They quote passages from the Koran and argue that even the most Americanized Muslim secretly wants to replace the Constitution with Islamic Sharia law. I hope I am right when I say that is asinine! It’s one thing to oppose a mosque because traffic might increase but it’s different when you say these mosques are going to be nurturing terrorist bombers, that Islam is invading, that civilization is being undermined by Muslims. I think we are smart enough to monitor the situation as we already are.

Knowing that Religion is the Government in Islam there is something to what a woman said when she said Islam is not about a religion. It’s a political government, and it’s 100 percent against our Constitution. That is the countries of Islam to me not not Muslim Americans. I believe largely they are Americans and just want to practice their religion. There are about 1,900 mosques in the United States and I am sure we are watching them all and I hate to say it but we must. Protests Against Mosques Spread Far Beyond Ground Zero

German's, Jews, Japanese, Catholics, Irish, we have all paid our dues here in America's melting pot and Muslim's are just taking there turn. It should be up to the Muslim community how this turns out in America not Republican's, the tea party, or fools that think Sharia law is going to subvert our Constitution.

International Burn A Quran Day will be another recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and all Islamists looking to destroy us

The final insult will be the Florida church that plans to publicly burn copies of the Quran on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, prompting threats from Islamic groups and warnings the move will trigger a rise in hate crimes. That will definitely blow things open and create a nightmare for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fla. Church Plans 'Burn a Quran' Day to Mark 9/11

Remember the Swiss ban on Minarets

IRAN: Outrage, and a warning, over Swiss vote to ban minarets

Libya follows Iran in warning against Swiss minaret ban

Bishop of Arabia dismayed by minaret ban in Swiss homeland

Remember the Danish cartoons about Muhammad printed almost 4 years ago? Here they are

Remember the French headscarf ban after dozens of Muslim school girls were expelled for refusing to remove their headscarfs? to the French it is a sign of oppression but who cares what they think? Their desire to ban it altogether?

Remember Salman Rushdie, who went into hiding under threat of death after an Iranian fatwa, was knighted by the Queen? Muslim's wanted his head and he had to go into hiding

You know I have written often of my disgust with those who said we did nothing to deserve 9/11 or anything that has happened before and since. We more than asked for everything we got. Remember the Berlin conference Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 to Divide Africa

India and Pakistan being ad hoc divided by Britain The forming of Israel, Bush’s failed Middle East Democratization program. We asked for everything we get and we just keep instigating at every opportunity. I just don’t get it unless…

What the hell is wrong with us? I have an atheist friend who just yesterday brought up the fact that Muslims don't try to push their Religion on others but all types of Christians do. Why is that? This non-denominational Dove World Outreach Center, which has in the past joined the extremist Westboro Baptist Church in protesting homosexuality is organizing the “International Burn A Quran Day” to oppose Islam, which it sees as a “violent and oppressive religion.” In many instances it is but it is the abusive interpretation that is the problem. Burning the Quran will be another recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and all Islamists looking to destroy us. What the hell is wrong with people?

Tony Blankley: Wiki leaks Julian Assange may be guilty of treason punishable by death, I agree!

Just look at that SOB, how can anyone be foolish enough to think he did this because he's righteous?


"9-11 Truthers Annoy Me"- Julian Assange,Wiki Leaks Founder



Julian Assange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pentagon demands WikiLeaks return all leaked documents

Tony Blankley - Wiki Espionage

Tony Blankley Visiting Senior Fellow in National-Security Communications at the Heritage Foundation Wikipedia

Many of you know 3 of my sons are career military and in and out of these wars. I disagreed with the illegal war on Iraq and I disagree with the way the war is being conducted in Afghanistan and feel we should pull out now with our heads high and the job well done but you know that is not going to happen.

Whatever you think about the war in Afghanistan you do have a sense of right and wrong. When I first became aware of Julian Assange and the wikileaks my first thought was that there was no new news here. Then I thought about it and had to wonder how many of our troops have been killed and wounded because this ass took it upon himself to publish 90,000 secret documents with the promise of more to come.

Without a doubt the future cooperation of Afghani's helping us so we can stabilize Afghanistan and get out has seriously been jeopardized. I wonder how many who have helped in the past have been found and killed thanks to Assange. The more I thought about it the more I was bothered that I see some who are unversed enough to say he should be given a Nobel peace prize. I thought there must be a law against what he did.

Well there is! if Assange was in Russia , China, Iran, or anywhere else he would already be dead along with his family. There is nothing honorable or righteous about his intentions. Just look at his face his intent is nothing but malicious and vengeance. I hope you read the wikipedia about him. He was not imprisoned for being good in doing this in the past. He is ruthless and unconcerned about what he has done. He better be held accountable and even though he is not a US citizen we can do it and it should already be done.

Because of damaging wartime leaks by WikiLeaks operator Julian Assange, Assange should be prosecuted and possibly executed by the U.S. government for wartime espionage.
Title 18 U.S. Code, Section 794, Paragraph (b) reads:

"Whoever, in time of war, with intent that the same shall be communicated to the enemy, collects, records, publishes, or communicates, or attempts to elicit any information with respect to the movement, numbers, description, condition, or disposition of any of the Armed Forces, ships, aircraft, or war materials of the United States, or with respect to the plans or conduct, or supposed plans or conduct of any naval or military operations, or with respect to any works or measures undertaken for or connected with, or intended for the fortification or defense of any place, or any other information relating to the public defense, which might be useful to the enemy, shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for any term of years or for life."

The New York Times, the Guardian and Der Spiegel who coordinated the publication of his leaks should be prosecuted too, I agree they might find the following Subsection (c) also to be a revealing read: "If two or more persons conspire to violate this section, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each of the parties to such conspiracy shall be subject to the punishment provided for the offense which is the object of such conspiracy."

According to Friday's New York Times, "Justice Department lawyers are exploring whether Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks could be charged with inducing, or conspiring in violations of the Espionage Act." They damn sure have and the more I think about it the more I see so called extremists very happy and emboldened. They were picking up anyway but they are now empowered to go full bore. These people should all be in custody already though the damage is done and I can't believe we are playing games. This is no game!
