The dream of sailors, nerds and sailor-nerds everywhere is on the verge of
coming true, senior Navy technologists swear. Within four years, they claim
they’ll have a working prototype of a laser cannon, ready to place aboard a
ship. And they’re just months away from inviting defense contractors to bid on a
contract to build it for them.
“Subsonic cruise missiles, aircraft, fast-moving boats, unmanned aerial
vehicles” — Mike Deitchman, who oversees future weapons development for the
Office of Naval Research, promises Danger Room that the Navy laser cannons just
over the horizon will target them all.
Or they will be, if ONR’s plans work out as promised — not exactly a strong
suit of proposed laser weapons over the decades. (Note the decided lack of blast
at your side.) First step in reaching this raygun reality: Finish up the
paperwork. “The contract will probably have options go through four years, but
depending on which laser source the vendors pick, we may be able to demo
something after two years,” says Roger McGiness, who works on laser tech for
Deitchman. “Our hope afterwards is to move to acquisition.”
An audio engineer has captured on tape the sound of one of the mysterious booms that have been plaguing Clintonville over the last two weeks, and the noise sounds more like an underground explosion than an earthquake.
The sound was recorded by audio engineer Brian Sullivan.
“The first night, no luck. But, Sullivan said he captured a boom from this past Saturday, one minute before 4 a.m. It’s short, but it sounds like a boom,” reports 790 KABC.
One of the comments that keeps cropping up with regard to the Clintonville bo
As the GOP nominating process grinds down to its ultimate end, the Romney campaign has turned savage in its efforts to end the process early. Open conventions and caucuses where people actually get to vote are apparently their worst nightmare.
In some state conventions fake “unity slates” are promoted, with appeals to Santorum and Gingrich delegates to join them in electing delegates that they promise represent the three campaigns proportionately but will shut out Ron Paul. The ”unity slates” are actually all Romney delegates.
In other states “Romney Rules” help make up for the candidate’s unenthusiastic support. In Idaho, for example, where Romney has a Mormon base and won 61% of the vote in a statewide beauty contest, it was nevertheless feared that the candidate would not win a single precinct election in the delegate process. In almost each of the elections, it was feared that Ron Paul supporters would have a plurality.
The solution? A backwards election. It goes like this. The candidate who gets the most votes doesn’t matter, rather the candidate with the fewest is dropped. Voting continues with successive ballots until one is left. If one candidate gets at least 50% of the counties he then gets the whole statewide delegation.

In the Journal of Medical Ethics, two ethicists argue plainly for the killing of babies post birth. They’re not hedging their bets. They’re saying it plain and simple. And I, for one, thank them for it.
Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva, associated respectively with Monash University, in Melbourne, Australia, and with the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, in the UK, wrote a piece called “After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?”
I could buy the article for $30 and I was close to doing it but then I thought why am I giving these animals my money. I’d essentially be paying these “ethicists” to write more about the right of killing humans.
So, in the “abstract” that’s available for free at the site, it says:
Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus’ health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.
Here’s the thing - they’re right. If you accept their premises, they’re absolutely right.
The second we allow ourselves to become the arbiters of who is human and who isn’t, this is the calamitous yet inevitable end. Once you say all human life is not sacred, the rest is just drawing random lines in the sand.
An ethicists job is like a magician’s. The main job of both is to distract you from the obvious. The magician uses sleight of hand to pretend to make people disappear. But when ethicists do it, people disappear for real.
Ron Paul talks Jesus,Faith and Billy Graham.Protestant Evangelical Chuck Baldwin Endorses "Ron Paul". Also you have to ask yourself. Which candidate has the most "Fruits of the Spirit". We can not forget honesty, peacefullness,longsuffering as well. You will see one candidate has them all.Jesus never said. "Leave your flock and go after the wolves" Hoping even they could be spared hell.Are troops lives valued to the GOP as much as babies. See we can not put a price on life.In order to have liberty we must first have life.Shouldnt Pro Life mean just that...Pro-Life.
If there is one video to watch before you vote in Wisconsin this Tuesday and share with all voting locally this would be the video.This is a powerful eye opening video that brings all views in place by local Bret Hatch.He interviews countless often "Clueless" Political backers who say "he will change America and turn it around" But no one seems to know "How" this will be done. He also interviews a few protesters. Good piece. People of ALL walks of life and political views should see this. Its sad to see so many clueless business people. Are you not curious? Didnt those people most likely get a good education?

North Carolina’s own Representative, Walter B. Jones has just intoroduced legislation to the U.S. House that would make Obama’s over-zealous militry actions impeachable. Jones’ resolution claims that should the President employ the use of offensive military force without approval of Congress, he would be liable to be impeached. “Specifically, Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves for Congress alone the power to declare war, a restriction that has been sorely tested in recent years, including Obama’s authorization of military force in Libya.” Jones’ actions were spurred by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s efforts to get approval to bomb Syria from NATO and the United Nations instead of from Congress.
Didn’t we all learn in middle school that one of the reserved powers of Congress is the power to declare war and that the President needs its approval to declare it himself? Nowhere does the Constitution give NATO or the United Nations any say in when
and where the U.S. deploys its troops. Jones has received much suppo

How to get ANYTHING through TSA nude body scanners: Blogger exposes loophole in $1billion fleet
Jonathan Corbett claims he could easily smuggle explosives onto a plane
Strip-search scanners banned in Europe over cancer fears
Could bad TSA scanners be another example of the Federal Government and"Pork Barrel Spending"? Cracked: Jonathan Corbett's video shows how he smuggled a metal case through scanners at two airports.Controversial nude body scanners used at U.S. airports have come under fire again - after a blogger claimed he could easily smuggle explosives through them onto a plane.Engineer Jonathan Corbett has published a video where he shows how he took a small metal case through two of the TSA's $1billion fleet in a special side pocket stitched into his shirt.This is because, he suggests, the scanners blend metallic areas into the dark background - so if an object is not directly placed on the body, it will not show up on the scan.
Like Liberty Bell Press On FacebookClaims non-prohibited items were never confiscated despite multiple accounts proving they were
The TSA has once again been caught blatantly lying to the public in an effort to cover the ridiculous actions of its own employees.
Last week stories once again began to circulate about the TSA agents on power trips confiscating erroneous items such as multi tools and nail clippers. Worse still, the passengers they took the items from were fully armed soldiers returning from Afghanistan. On its official blog the TSA once again denied that any of the stories were true, and implied that they had all been made up to make the agency look bad.
The TSA blog also linked to a previous post “debunking” the stories and claiming that it was an “urban legend” that nail clippers had ever been confiscated from anybody because they are not prohibited items.
With evidence presented in just a few comments on the blog however, it becomes clear that the TSA is once again telling bald faced lies.
One commenter points to several different mainstream news articles in which accounts of TSA agents confiscating nail clippers are mentioned:
Despite official claims to the contrary, early data from a seismometer station in Wisconsin rules out earthquakes as an explanation for last night’s mysterious booms in the town of Clintonville, as residents continue to clamor for answers amidst increasing suspicion.
After the US Geological Survey explained last week’s booms by noting they had found a previously undiscovered earthquake hit the town on Tuesday (despite the fact that the booms were first reported the previous Sunday), city officials declared the situation “case closed”.
Ignoring skepticism from residents towards the ‘earthquake’ explanation, city administrator Lisa Kuss again blamed natural seismic activity during television interviews this morning, despite the fact that Wisconsin is rarely hit by earthquakes and to have two in the space of a week is unheard of.
However, with Kuss set to talk with the USGS again today, early indications suggest that last night’s booms did not correlate with any earthquake activity in the state.
“A preliminary review of seismic activity recorded at two permanent seismometer stations in Wisconsin did not indicate even a low-level earthquake at Clintonville late Tuesday, a spokesman for the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., said,” reports the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.

In an instant, four tons of steel and explosives slammed into the
522-foot-long warship Schenectady, blowing it apart in a cataclysm of
smoke, dust and sound. Overhead, a pair of U.S. Air Force Boeing B-52 bombers

eight-engine warplanes had flown directly from Louisiana to attack the
decommissioned Navy landing ship as part of an exercise near Hawaii on
Nov. 23, 2004.
Schenectady’s dramatic
destruction marked a turning point in the Pentagon’s approach to aerial
warfare, and led directly to one of the flying branch’s riskiest-ever
investments. The sinking of the Schenectady by the Air Force was meant
to prove to the flying branch’s reluctant Pentagon masters that bombers could
play an important role in a major ocean battle against China and its
gigantic navy. In underscoring bombers’ usefulness, the Hawaii demonstration
was also part of the Air Force’s efforts to get the Defense Department to sign

Some 24.4 percent of people who were hospitalized in Fukushima with psychiatric disorders in the wake of the outbreak of the crisis at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant had done so possibly because of fears of radiation exposure, according to the results of research conducted by psychiatrists at Fukushima Medical University.
It has also been found that of all the outpatients at 27 hospitals in Fukushima Prefecture, 30 percent of them visited hospital apparently for reasons related to the nuclear crisis, according to the research conducted by psychiatrist Akira Wada and others at Fukushima Medical University. There is no data available in the world on the effects of nuclear accidents on psychiatric diseases that were taken immediately after a nuclear accident, and therefore Fukushima Medical University plans to conduct a follow-up study on the effects on patients of the major nuclear accident and prolonged lives as evacuees.

Sex scandal unfolds in New York City, $2M MEDIA BLACKOUT ON ISSUE AND CASE!
Anna Gristina was allegedly running a prostitution ring out of an Upper East Side apartment.
Madam Anna Gristina was arrested last week for running a multimillion dollar prostitution ring from an apartment building in Manhattan's Upper East Side. The legal Scottish immigrant and married mother of four is being held at Rikers Island Jail with a $2 million bond.
The investigation into Gristina's sex ring has lasted over five years and although she's been held for a week, the case didn't reach national attention until a press conference from her lawyer, Peter Gleason, on March 6 and an appearance on "Good Day, New York."
Gleason's actions were in response to hearings from an unnamed

NSA chief General Keith Alexander, Courtesy
NSA
In a rare break from the NSA’s tradition of listening but not speaking, NSA
chief General Keith Alexander was grilled Tuesday on the topic of eavesdropping
on Americans in front of a House subcommittee.
The questioning from Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) was prompted by Wired’s
cover story this month on the NSA’s growing reach and capabilities, but
leaves Americans with as many questions about the reach of spy agency’s powers
as they had before Alexander spoke. Alexander denied, in carefully parsed words, that the NSA has the power to
monitor Americans’ communications without getting a court warrant.
But Alexander’s comments fly in the face of people who actually helped create
the agency’s eavesdropping and data mining infrastructure. Few people know that
system as well as William Binney, who served as the technical director for the
agency’s M Group, which stood for World Geopolitical Military Analysis and
Reporting, the giant 6,000-person organization responsible for eavesdropping on
most of the world.
He was also the founder and co-director of the agency’s Signals Intelligence
Automation Research Center, which helped automate that eavesdropping network.
Binney decided to leave after a long career rather than be involved in the
agency warrantless eavesdropping program, a program he said involves secret
monitoring facilities in ten to twenty large telecom switches around the
country, such as the one discovered in San Francisco’s AT&T installation a
few years ago.
Historically, the NSA’s initial response has always been to either deny or
evade when confronted with issues involving eavesdropping on Americans. For
decades the agency secretly hid from Congress the fact that it was copying,
without a warrant, virtually every telegram traveling through the United States,
a program known as Project Shamrock.
Then it hid from Congress the fact tha
Doug Wead, a New York Times best selling author and a senior adviser for the Ron Paul presidential campaign, writes on his blog today that Alex Hayes, director of establishment Republicans in Washington State, made the claim that the Romney-Santorum-Gingrich campaigns are pushing a common slate of candidates in Washington State to block Ron Paul’s campaign from taking delegates.
“The apparent move on the part of the Romney-Santorum-Gingrich campaigns is to block citizens favoring Ron Paul from taking over the Washington State delegation to Tampa,” Wead writes.
Ron Paul has gained delegates at the expense of both Romney and Santorum. “States such as Missouri, where Senator Santorum won a meaningless beauty contest, will see a sizable Ron Paul representation, as will Minnesota, Maine, Colorado, Nevada and Iowa. In Nevada, on the first ballot, the delegates, even if Ron Paul supporters, must vote for candidates proportionately as they finished in the Nevada Statewide beauty contest. But they can vote their conscience on the second ballot,” Doug Wead explains.
Over the weekend, a video emerged showing how establishment Republicans in Missouri connived to rob Ron Paul of delegates:
A covert camera caught Alex Hayes explaining how the establishment in Washington State plans to rig the election against Paul. Hayes said the idea of a prearranged slate will probably be adopted on the national level.
Wead says that he is not sure if Hayes and the Republican election machine will push a united Romney-Santorum-Gingrich slate and attempt to disenfranchise Paul.
“On the other hand, if Mr. Hayes is exaggerating or not telling the truth, if the Romney-Santorum-Gingrich campaigns have not agreed on a common slate, then you are getting a look at how political power brokers play backroom games to disenfranchise the majority of their own party. You are seeing how people in power, cling to the little bit of power they have and are willing to lie or cheat to keep it,” he writes.
The Republican establishment will do whatever it can get away with to cheat Ron Paul and his supporters before the convention in August.
