Friday has arrived - and it's below 20 degrees outside. I will be taking out one of my pond pumps today - leaving one to keep the water moving. Will also be putting in my 'horse trough heater' that I ran last winter to keep a hole in the ice for air exchange - plus, provided a drinking hole for birds and squirrels all winter! Water is so essential for those little outside guys when everything freezes. Am truly amazed how Subway my turtle and all my goldfish (some now quite big) can make it all winter under ice and not eating until it warms up again.
Not liking what I'm hearing coming out from those whisleblowers talking about military activity on the ground (and air) focusing upon the American populous.
Seems they are preparing for something big to be taking place with the date of "sometime in January". A real coordination of military and police. Connected with the financial collapse and societal breakdown. The following is a link to an internet program I also listened to yesterday evening. It is a mp3.

| Thursday: Steve Quayle - * 2 Hours* | |
Steve Quayle is a Christian and was the guy who broke the gold plated tungsten story - about London shipping fake bars to billionaires in China - and the story was TRUE and still being talked about on gold traders' websites. Our government still being referred to as 'rouge' given its criminal activity with the gold bars shipped to London.
China is NOT the proverbial 'happy camper' concerning London banksters and the United States' gold depository from where the gold was originally shipped to London (the US where the gold plating of tungsten bars took place)!

Our military has been bombing the heck out of Pakistan with drones - killing all kinds of people. There is no such thing as a 'surgical strike' - as if a bomb is targeted to just hit 'bad guys' - that bomb gets everyone around.
China is VERY UNHAPPY with the bombing of Pakistan and the attempt to completely destabilize Pakistan and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that oil pipelines are involved - pipelines from Iran to China.

Thomas Edison didn't have a pc but was known to play recordings backwards. You have a pc that makes it easy to do reversals, so if you're skeptical whether some trickery has been employed I challenge you to test my claim. You owe it to yourself to find out who is lying and who is telling the truth. At least, read the comments posted by others who have done so. So many people are so accustomed to being lied to that most simply cannot tell the difference - and don't really care. Rise up to the challenge.
Does the truth matter to you? How do you suppose the people of post-WWII Germany felt as those who had been deceived by Hitler were awakened to the reality? They were betrayed by those they trusted. This is your wake up call.
The solution is not political. The problem is not political. Seek the Truth with all your heart.

Coke sends mixed holiday message
Now that the holidays are upon us, it’s time to get annoyed with the consumerism, secularism and political correctness that continue to whittle away at the meaning of the holiday season.
The secular and consumption-driven nature of the season has become so routine that one has to work hard to remember to take time for the traditions and religious observances that once defined the season.
I thought I had seen every example of how religious meaning has been stripped out of Christmas until a friend showed me the label on a festive seasonal bottle of Coca Cola the other day. The marketers at Coke have taken secularism to new heights and thrown in a confusing mixed message for good measure.
On one side of the bottle’s label was the catchy phrase “Holiday 2009” in English. Not Happy Holiday, mind you, but Holiday 2009, as if it were important only to know the year the soda was produced but not to recognize any other significance of the holiday.
Hats off to the people at Coke. That’s about as generic as you can get, and it bears no risk of offending anyone with a message that could be interpreted as religious in nature. In fact, the message has no meaning whatsoever.
But there’s more to it than that. On the opposite side of the label was the mirror image written in Spanish, a common practice for consumer goods marketed to a growing Hispanic population. However, in place of the English-language Holiday 2009 on the label was the Spanish phrase “Feliz Navidad.”
Thanks to the song by Jose Feliciano, many of us non-Spanish speakers know that Feliz Navidad means Merry Christmas, a phrase with far more meaning than Holiday 2009. If translated literally it actually means Happy Nativity, taking the meaning directly to the birth of the Christ child in the manger.
So while the English-speaking public gets the equivalent of a date stamp, the folks at Coca Cola see fit to wish the Spanish-speaking population a Merry Christmas and recognize the core spiritual essence of the Christmas holiday.
I find that fascinating, and I have to wonder what it means. Is it that English-speaking people are seen by the marketers at Coke as completely secular and likely to be offended by the expression Merry Christmas or a link between the holiday season and a Christian holiday?

BPA on cash register receipts?
People have long been concerned about bisphenol A in plastic baby bottles, inside cans that food comes in and so many other consumer items. Thousands of things made from clear, hard plastics have BPA, as it is called, as an ingredient because it makes them tough and all but unbreakable.
Although the industry has long insisted BPA is safe, the chemical, which has "estrogenic" properties, meaning it mimics somewhat the properties of the female hormone estrogen, has been linked to behavioral and developmental problems.
Janet Raloff, writing a blog item for ScienceNews, the magazine of the Society for Science and the Public, says that a Massachusetts researcher has found a new source of BPA: cash register receipts.

The first step in addressing back problems through reflexology is to find a qualified reflexologist who will use specific techniques to exert deep pressure on the foot area corresponding with the specific back problem. This may be painful and several sessions may be required before the condition improves. Sore points are often the most important ones to work on, since they represent places where energy is blocked. A gentle spa type massage is probably not going to help much, pleasant as it may be.

1946-1964 (90% Silver) Roosevelt Dime
Junk Silver Value

Silver Content: 90%
Silver Weight: 0.07234 oz.
Junk Silver Price: $1.36
(with price of silver low)
The Silver Roosevelt dime was first minted in 1946 to honor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, shortly after his death. It consisted of 90% silver and 10% copper, and was designed by Chief Engraver John R. Sinnock. It continued to be minted until 1964.
The obverse side features a portrait of President Roosevelt. The reverse side carries a torch, symbolizing beauty, offset by an oak branch symbolizing victory, and olive branch symbolizing peace.
The dime in particular was chosen to honor President Roosevelt because of his extensive work on behalf of the March of Dimes, originally known as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The Foundation earned its new name from its campaigns encouraging people to contribute a dime to their cause. Himself a victim of Polio, President Roosevelt worked tirelessly to support and grow the foundation in its early days.
Dimes are a good choice for those interested in investing in junk silver coins, as their size makes it easy to trade in smaller quantities of silver, and junk silver bags consisting primarily of dimes are more compact than other varieties.

China wary of gold 'bubble’ danger after quietly doubling its reserves
December 2, 2009 - The Chinese authorities have given the clearest indication to date that they view the surge in gold to an all-time high of $1,217 (£730) an ounce as a speculative frenzy.
Hu Xiaolian, the vice-governor of the central bank, said Beijing would not buy gold indiscriminately.
“We must keep in mind the long-term effects when considering what to use as our reserves,” she said. “We must watch out for bubbles forming on certain assets and be careful in those areas.”
China announced this year that it had quietly doubled its gold reserves to 1,054 tonnes, the world’s fifth largest holding. India has also joined the rush, gobbling up half the IMF’s gold sale ......

Pacific tsunami four storeys high (46 feet) when it slammed into Samoa's coast after 8.3 mag earthquake on September 29th in the Tonga Trench
Damage from the tsunami in American Samoa.
On September 29 a magnitude 8.3 earthquake occurred in the Tonga Trench. It generated the tsunami which resulted in the deaths of 180 people in American Samoa, Samoa and Tonga.
New Zealand scientists have worked out that the Pacific's killer tsunami was nearly four storeys high when it slammed into Samoa's coast.
Conflicting eyewitness accounts have never made it clear how many waves there were and what their heights were.
The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and GNS Science have carried out field work the tsunami, releasing their data today.
"The Samoa tsunami consisted of two to three significant waves; the second wave was said by witnesses to be larger," the statement said.
"The delay between the earthquake and the arrival of the first wave was about 10 minutes in Samoa and 20 minutes in American Samoa.
"The maximum height reached by the tsunami on the land was 14 metres above mean sea level in Samoa and 10 metres in American Samoa.
"The furthest inland the waves reached was over 700 metres from the shore."
At one of the worst hit areas, Lepa in the Aleipata district, eyewitness Karen Niumata gave Stuff.co.nz a dramatic account of the wave.
"We saw the reef suddenly, and we saw all the rocks were shiny, and then the wave filled the sky...
"The wave, it reached the sky, oh my god, we ran.
"We thought we would die."

Continued Activity at Caribbean Soufriere Hills Volcano
December 4, 2009 | Earth Observatory
Location map of the Caribbean. Montserrat is part of the Lesser Antilles chain, near the island of Antigua.
Activity at Montserrat’s Soufrière Hills Volcano continues to ebb and flow. Growth of the lava dome on the volcano’s summit has led to numerous pyroclastic flows, some of which nearly reached the ocean. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this natural-color image on November 28, 2009, at 1:40 p.m. local time. Roughly 3 hours before, the Air Force Weather Agency reported an ash plume reaching to flight level 120 (3,700 meters) stretching west-northwest 130 nautical miles (240 kilometers) from the volcano.

Extreme Cold Invades Northwest
Coldest Night Of The Season Tonight in Denver
TheDenverChannel.com
Temperatures on Thursday morning dipped near zero in the metro area, with overnight lows around 15 to 20 degrees colder than normal. But that zero barrier will be broken tonight as temperatures will take the plunge into the negatives across the front range. While those readings will be the coldest so far for this winter season, a -11 low on January 27 will likely remain the coldest for 2009, at least to this point.What about a record? The record low for December 4th is -5, a mark set last year. Since records are kept at Denver International Airport, that's where the thermometer has to fall in order to break that record. A few places across the metro area could easily hit that mark, but if DIA can do it, you'll see 2009 in the record books for the new daily low.

 | Time to Cancel the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Withdraw Nobel Prizes From Them and Gore Canada Free Press Gored Al Gore is the only Nobel Prize winner, whose work was ruled politically biased and containing nine major scientific errors by a court (UK) a week before it was awarded. The Nobel Committee should have known. They could argue they’d already made their decision. Problem is there was considerable evidence about the errors easily available long before. Clearly they didn’t do their homework, so their decision was purely political. The Prize should be revoked. .... |
Cap and Trade Explained - The Short Attention Span Version - It's OK, we won't tell anyone you didn't know before...
Recent surveys about public perceptions of climate change and knowledge of cap-and-trade in the United States show that a lot of people out there haven't got the foggiest idea what's going on. Not Planet Green readers of course (nudge, nudge), but if you've got some less than informed friends here's the principle of cap-and-trade laid out in the most simple terms possible:
1) Government set a limit on the total amount of pollution that is permitted to be emitted into the atmosphere. In terms of cap-and-trade in regards to climate change, that's carbon dioxide. That's the cap. Emissions above that level result in fines.
2) Permits then get distributed to industry for a given amount of pollution. They can either be auctioned off (better, but polluters don't so much like this), given away for free based on historic levels of pollution (seemingly rewarding polluting industries) , or some combination of the those.
The idea is to set the initial allotment slightly below what's already being emitted -- the whole point of this is to reduce the amount of pollution, not just keep it at current levels.
3) If a company can reduce its pollution below the amount of credits it already has, it can sell those credits to some other company that's not doing so well on the reduction front.
4) This system essential creates an economic market where polluters have financial incentive to reduce pollution in the form of spare credits which can be sold or traded.
5) Over time the cap can be reduced -- hopefully at predictable intervals so everyone can prepare for it -- further constraining the amount of pollution that industry can emit.

Russia wants NATO, OSCE replaced with new security pact to restrict the United States' ability to act unilaterally around the world
Published: Friday December 04, 2009President Dmitry Medvedev published what he called a draft proposal for a new European security treaty that Russia wants to supplant Cold War-era organizations like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
The proposal appeared on the president's website on November 29, ahead of the annual OSCE Ministerial meeting and session of the Russia-NATO cooperation council, and received mixed reactions in the West.
The proposal is seen as part of Moscow's efforts to restrict the United States' ability to act unilaterally around the world, while reasserting own international role through the United Nations Security Council.
According to RFE/RL, President Medvedev first discussed Russia's intention to propose a new treaty during his trip to Germany in June 2008.
"I'm convinced that Europe's problems won't be solved until its unity is established, an organic wholeness of all its integral parts, including Russia," Mr. Medvedev said at the time, calling the United States, the European Union, and the Russian Federation the "three branches of European civilization."

Gates: 'No deadlines' on troop withdrawal --Afghanistan drawdown could take 2 to 3 years, defense secretary says 04 Dec 2009 The withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, scheduled to begin in July 2011, will "probably" take two or three years, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said Thursday, although he added that "there are no deadlines in terms of when our troops will all be out." The Pentagon, meanwhile, quietly acknowledged slippage on the front end of the 30,000-troop deployment that President Obama authorized for the first half of 2010. [There is no deadline on when the troops will be out, but hopefully there *will* be one on when this Administration is out. And that will be November 2012. We need an actual progressive to run for president in 2012. --LRP]
Obama's speech on Afghanistan: A compendium of lies By Alex Lantier 03 Dec 2009 In his December 1 speech at West Point announcing the deployment of 30,000 more US troops to Afghanistan, President Barack Obama attempted to justify a major escalation of a deeply unpopular war on the basis of lies and distortions. That he had to resort to such falsifications reflects both the reactionary character of his policy and the fact that it is being imposed in violation of the popular will. To justify the escalation, Obama recycled the Bush administration’s myths about the "war on terror." He cynically presented the US as an altruistic power, forced into a global war for democracy by the terrorist attacks of 9/11. As he sought to frame US imperialist policy within the template of the "war on terror," however, his speech descended into utter incoherence. ['His speech descended into utter incoherence.' It began there. Then, it descended into deeper strata of incoherence.]
Hillary Clinton expects Nato Afghanistan troop pledges 04 Dec 2009 US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she is confident Nato countries will pledge extra troops to help efforts in Afghanistan. "The response has been positive," Mrs Clinton said as she headed to Brussels, where she is joining Nato talks. Nato officials said on Thursday that more than 20 countries plan to send more troops following a US decision to deploy an extra 30,000 in Afghanistan. But several European nations have been reluctant to commit more forces.
C.I.A. Is Expanding Drone Assaults Inside Pakistan [So is Blackwater.] 04 Dec 2009 The White House has authorized an expansion of the C.I.A.’s [killer] drone program in Pakistan’s tribal areas, officials said this week, to parallel the president’s decision, announced Tuesday, to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. American officials are talking with Pakistan about the possibility of striking in Baluchistan for the first time... The drone program has enjoyed bipartisan support in Congress and was escalated by the Obama administration in January. More C.I.A. drone attacks have been conducted under President Obama than under President [sic] George W. Bush. The political consensus in support of the drone program, its antiseptic, high-tech appeal and its secrecy have obscured just how radical it is. For the first time in history, a civilian intelligence agency is using robots to carry out a military mission, selecting people for killing in a country where the United States is not officially at war.
Blackwater founder says he aided secret programs --CIA asset Erik Prince carried out secret missions as recently as two months ago 03 Dec 2009 The founder of Blackwater Worldwide acknowledged in an interview published Wednesday that he had helped the CIA with secret programs targeting top al-Qaeda leaders, a role he says was intended to give the agency "unattributable capability" in sensitive missions. Erik Prince, owner of the military contractor now known as Xe Services, told Vanity Fair magazine that he performed numerous "very risky missions" for the spy agency, some of which were improperly exposed in leaks to the news media. The magazine... said the former Navy SEAL had served a dual role for the CIA as both a contractor and an "asset," or spy, who carried out secret missions as recently as two months ago, when the Obama administration terminated his contract.
'It was designed to make punishment inevitable.' Military tribunals quietly resume at Guantanamo Bay 04 Dec 2009 Military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay, which President Obama suspended amid much fanfare immediately after taking office, quietly resumed this week with new signs of the legal complexities of the cases and the challenges for prosecutors. The military court had to grapple with determining where a defendant, Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi -- and by extension other detainees prisoners -- stand under the new military commissions law enacted in October to provide more due process for detainees. Under the old system, Qosi and other detainees were called "unlawful enemy combatants," but the new law refers to them as "alien unprivileged enemy belligerents," a moniker that military prosecutors said is more in line with the Geneva Conventions. [During the Bush regime, detainees were called "unlawful enemy combatants." Under Obama, the law refers to them as "alien unprivileged enemy belligerents." See? that's change we can believe in!]
Gitmo judge denies request to expand case 03 Dec 2009 A judge in Guantanamo Bay's war crimes court has denied a request by military prosecutors to expand their case against a Sudanese detainee prisoner accused of being a bodyguard for Osama bin Laden. Prosecutors wanted more specifications to be added to charges of conspiracy and providing support for terrorism against Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi, who was one of the first prisoners brought to Guantanamo in 2002.
Hoon 'banned armed forces from preparing for Iraq war' --Ministers wanted public kept in dark over likelihood of invasion, Lord Boyce says 04 Dec 2009 Geoff Hoon held back military preparations for the Iraq invasion when he was Defence Secretary, because he wanted to keep the plans secret from the public, his armed forces chief has revealed. Admiral Lord Boyce, the former Chief of the Defence Staff, said that he was blocked from ordering equipment and mobilising troops for several months in the run-up to the Iraq war. Instead, he was limited to top secret "high-level" planning within the Ministry of Defence, meaning he was left with "some very short timelines" in which to prepare troops for the invasion.
US 'did not believe Britain would refuse to send forces to Iraq' --Former defence chief tells Iraq inquiry that US generals believed Britain would commit troops even if there were no attempts to solve the crisis through the UN 03 Dec 2009 The US believed that Britain would take an active part in the Iraq war even if there were no attempts to solve the crisis through the UN, the inquiry into the conflict heard today. During the first evidence so far from senior military and defence ministry figures, Admiral Lord Boyce, the chief of the defence staff from 2001 to 2003, told the inquiry panel that US generals and America's then-defence secretary [war criminal], Donald Rumsfeld, seemingly refused to countenance the possibility that Britain would not commit troops.
Clare Short's post Iraq war staff 'told to do nothing' 03 Dec 2009 UK development experts were told to sit in their tents and "not do anything" in the aftermath of the Iraq war, former defence chief Lord Boyce has claimed. He told the Iraq inquiry soldiers did much of the reconstruction, with the international development department "particularly unco-operative". They were not sure the Iraqis "were poor enough to deserve aid", he said. International Development Secretary Clare Short quit in protest at the lack of UN involvement in Iraq.

The secretary's comments... came one day after President Bush Obama, in announcing his decision to send 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan, warned that extremists have been "sent here from the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan to commit more acts of terror." "Home-based terrorism is here. And like violent extremism abroad, it will be part of the threat picture that we must now confront," Napolitano, addressing the American Israel Friendship League in New York, said. "Individuals sympathetic to al-Qaeda and its affiliates, as well as those inspired by the group's ideology, are present in the U.S., and would like to attack the homeland or plot overseas attacks."
U.S. likely to miss cargo deadline --Napolitano says officials will seek more time for screening systems 03 Dec 2009 The Department of Homeland Security is likely to miss a 2012 deadline to screen all cargo entering the United States by ship unless Congress devotes enormous new resources to the assignment, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told senators Wednesday. Concerns were raised after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that a nuclear device or other weapon of mass destruction could be smuggled into the country by sea. In response, Congress ordered that all cargo be screened before being placed on U.S.-bound ships.
Yahoo, Verizon: Our Spy Capabilities Would 'Shock', 'Confuse' Consumers By Kim Zetter 01 Dec 2009 Want to know how much phone companies and internet service providers charge to funnel your private communications or records to U.S. law enforcement and spy agencies? That’s the question muckraker and Indiana University graduate student Christopher Soghoian asked all agencies within the Department of Justice, under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed a few months ago. But before the agencies could provide the data, Verizon and Yahoo intervened and filed an objection on grounds that, among other things, they would be ridiculed and publicly shamed were their surveillance price sheets made public. Yahoo writes in its 12-page objection letter, that if its pricing information were disclosed to Soghoian, he would use it "to 'shame' Yahoo! and other companies -- and to 'shock' their customers."
Secret Service agents could be fired for White House breach --3 agents placed on administrative leave 03 Dec 2009 Secret Service chief Mark Sullivan told a Congressional committee Thursday morning that the agents who admitted Tareq and Michaele Salahi through a White House checkpoint at last week's state dinner have been placed on administrative leave and could lose their jobs.

Palin: Obama birth certificate 'a fair question' 03 Dec 2009 Speaking to the conservative talker Rusty Humphries today, Sarah Palin left the door open to speculation about President Obama's birth certificate. "Would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?" she was asked. "I think the public rightfully is still making it an issue. I don't have a problem with that. I don't know if I would have to bother to make it an issue, because I think that members of the electorate still want answers," she replied. "Do you think it's a fair question to be looking at?" Humphries persisted. "I think it's a fair question, just like I think past association and past voting records -- all of that is fair game," Palin said.
GOP Senator blocks TSA confirmation over union dispute 03 Dec 2009 The nation's 50,000 airport baggage screeners - upgraded to "federal transportation officers" under the Bush administration - could get another title under the Obama administration: Union members. But not without a fight. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-Nuts-South Carolina, is blocking the confirmation of Erroll Southers to head the Transportation Security Administration, saying Southers would permit screeners to seek full union representation, a move DeMint says would weaken the effectiveness of the agency.
Watchdog Group Says Ties to Health Insurance Companies Make Sen. Joe Lieberman An 'Insurance Puppet' --Online advertising campaign in Connecticut and Washington, D.C. asks if health insurers are pulling the strings 02 Dec 2009 Public Campaign Action Fund, a national campaign finance watchdog group, named Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn. Israel) its second "Insurance Puppet" in an online advertising campaign targeting Connecticut and Washington, D.C. "Senator Lieberman has received $448,066 in campaign contributions from the health insurance industry during his time in Washington," said David Donnelly, Public Campaign Action Fund's national campaigns director. "With so much money from the industry filling his campaign coffers, it's not surprising that Lieberman has spent the last year parroting any and all insurance industry talking points he could find."
£850bn: official cost of the bank bailout (and still RBS is demanding another £1.5bn in bonuses) 04 Dec 2009 Government support for Britain's banks has reached a staggering £850bn and the eventual cost to taxpayers will not be known for years, the public spending watchdog says today. The National Audit Office (NAO) revealed that £107m will be paid to City advisers called in to work on the rescue because the Treasury was too "stretched" to cope with the sudden financial crisis which broke in the autumn of last year.

[I was hoping for a treason trial.]
Obama tells business leaders they are key to job growth 03 Dec 2009 President Obama kicked off a much-anticipated jobs summit Thursday, telling 130 business leaders and others summoned to the White House for the afternoon-long session that private business, not government, holds the key to future job growth.

Bush took office.

Copenhagen targets not tough enough, says Al Gore 04 Dec 2009 Even if a deal is reached at the UN climate change talks in Copenhagen next week it will only be the first step towards the far more radical cuts that are needed in global carbon emissions, Al Gore, the former US Vice-President, told The Times last night. Mr Gore said that to avoid the worst ravages of climate change world leaders would have to come together again to set more drastic reductions than those now planned.
Copenhagen climate change talks must fail, says top scientist --World's leading climate change expert says summit talks so flawed that deal would be a disaster 02 Dec 2009 The scientist who convinced the world to take notice of the looming danger of global warming says it would be better for the planet and for future generations if next week's Copenhagen climate change summit ended in collapse. In an interview with the Guardian, James Hansen, the world's pre-eminent climate scientist, said any agreement likely to emerge from the negotiations would be so deeply flawed that it would be better to start again from scratch. "I would rather it not happen if people accept that as being the right track because it's a disaster track," said Hansen, who heads the Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York.
President Obama's Secret: Only 100 al Qaeda Now in Afghanistan --With New Surge, One Thousand U.S. Soldiers and $300 Million for Every One al Qaeda Fighter 02 Dec 2009 As he justified sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan at a cost of $30 billion a year, President Barack Obama's description Tuesday of the al Qaeda "cancer" in that country left out one key fact: U.S. intelligence officials have concluded there are only about 100 al Qaeda [al-CIAduh] fighters in the entire country. A senior U.S. intelligence official told ABCNews.com the approximate estimate of 100 al Qaeda members left in Afghanistan reflects the conclusion of American intelligence agencies and the Defense Department. The relatively small number was part of the intelligence passed on to the White House as President Obama conducted his deliberations. [The *real* cancer is Blackwater and KBR.]
Taliban vow to resist US surge in Afghanistan 02 Dec 2009 The Taliban vows to boost attacks against the US forces in Afghanistan, following Barack Obama's pledge to deploy thousands more troops to the war-torn country. Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahamdi said in a statement on Wednesday that such moves would "provoke stronger resistance." "Obama will witness lots of coffins heading to America from Afghanistan," AFP quoted Ahamdi as saying. The statement also emphasized that the Americans would face the same fate as the Soviet troops when they retreated in defeat in the 1980s. "This is a colonizing strategy which is securing the colonizing interests of American investors, and it shows that America has dirty plans not only for Afghanistan but for the region," the statement read. [You know you're in trouble when... you realize that the Taliban makes much more sense than the US Government. --LRP]
Out-Bushing Bush: US to increase troops in Afghanistan by 40% 02 Dec 2009 The US president has decided to raise the number of American troops in Afghanistan by some 40 percent, a move that would see Washington deploy another 30,000 soldiers.

"As commander in chief, I have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan," he told the cadets.

China: Secret Pilot UFO file released
A detailed UFO report of an incident involving a commercial pilot that includes radar images and recordings of the conversation between the pilot and the airport tower has just been made public in China. The report was released at a scientific forum held in Shanghai.
The event occurred on March 18 in the morning in Shanghai. Later that day hundreds of readers rang a local newspaper ‘The Xinmin Evening Times’ to report a strange object they had seen in the sky. One of these callers was the Tower Manager at Hongqiao Airport, Mr Jin Xin. He mentioned that a UFO had been spotted by tower staff and picked up by radar and that he had the recording.
Mr Jin Xin added that he requested that a pilot due to take off at exactly the same time chase the object and the pilot, who agreed, had reported that the UFO, seemingly made of two parts, was circling around his plane. A transcript of the conversation between the pilot and tower control has also been preserved.
The pilot witnessed the UFO for no less than 9 minutes and described the UFO in the conversation with the tower as initially a glowing fireball displaying extraordinary flight characteristics and quickly shifting position before ‘Descending sharply, changing colour from red to black and then separating into two objects: The top one a sphere, the bottom a rectangle. The craft travelled in a Northeast direction at level flight before climbing and disappearing.’
The pilot, Mr Zhu Zhaoyuan , was highly experienced at the time and was flying for Jinan Airlines. The aircraft he was flying was small commercial plane.
A number of UFO research societies were asked to investigate this event as well as scientists. Professor Wang Sichuao of Nanjing’s Purple Mountain Observatory (Of the July Eclipse UFO fame) thinks that this was an extraterrestrial encounter while the custodian of the recording, Mr Jialu Wu, an ex-engineer at the Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute and now director of the Shanghai UFO research centre believes the UFO was in fact two airplanes misidentified by the pilot.
In the process of releasing this astonishing file, a researcher from the Purple Mountain Observatory, Mr Liu Yan, revealed that the institution had investigated many thousands of UFO reports received from the public. According to Mr Yan, 90 percent of such sightings are eventually identified.
