..."We had a talk on this issue with the U.S. president. At a minimum I can say that today the U.S. has a desire to listen to our argument. They are not trying to cut off [talks] and say that the decision has already been made," Medvedev said in a speech at the London School of Economics....

Barack Obama throws US missile shield into doubt (click here)
The construction of a US missile shield in Europe has been thrown into doubt after Poland said that President-Elect Barack Obama had failed to commit himself to the project.

Officials in Warsaw said that after a conversation between President Lech Kaczynski and Mr Obama, they believe that the chances of the controversial project going ahead now stood at no more than "over 50 per cent"....

President Medvedev 'gets it.' He is well spoken in his understanding of the global fiscal crisis. Nice. I believe he and President Obama will prove to be good partners in seeking to secure the future of generations. I have a great deal of hope for the relations between the USA and Russia.

Planned Obsolescence...of government

Let's get this straight, shall we?

When a Neocon takes an office in the USA it is to SABOTAGE 'the purpose' of any government role or authority, even if that means being incompetent. Incompetence or the explicit legislating of law to be meaningless in 'real practice' is a form of treason.

The purpose of any Neocon is to undermine the authority of government to the point where the electorate is so disgusted they will opt to be WITHOUT government and its cost. Hence, tax decreases and downsizing of government and the increased wealth of the 'upper crust' and the unavoidable demoralizing of the middle class and exploitation of the poor.

In regard to The Stevens Case:

...The most important question that remains largely unanswered, said officials and veteran lawyers, is whether the corner cutting, especially the serial concealment of information damaging to the government, was a result of flawed judgments and heavy workloads or an intentional step by prosecutors to increase their chances of a high-profile conviction....

"Corner cutting" RESULTING IN "flawed judgements and heavy workloads" IS an intentional step.

"...In an example of the disarray of the government team, one F.B.I. agent said in an affidavit that as many as 30 boxes of unsorted evidence sat outside a prosecutor’s office as the trial was to begin...."

When executing the 'Rule of Law' becomes impossible due to lack of 'infrastructure/qualified personnel' it is treason. When a country's budget is 'toyed' with to attempt to undermine Social Security while compromising the legal infrastructure that is to uphold the law, that is treason. What the Bush/Cheney/Gonzalez ? Justice ? department did was to continually cause upheaval and disarray in 'the authority' of law while 'displaying' attempts to secure 'political favors' for its electorate.

Stevens is guilty and the testimony of those in the trial may or may not be PERJURY. But, the inability of The Justice Department to carry out a COMPETENT trial of Stevens due to lack of sufficient infrastructure IS a violation of the integrity of the USA Constitution and an impeachable offense of the Bush Executive Branch.

Questions? No? End of Discussion !

When privatizing any 'aspect' of government, it is SUPPOSED to be an improvement to the process, NEVER a breach of National Security and a way of keeping taxes down to stop the increasing size of government.


There is no excuse for the high incompetency of the Bush/Cheney/Gonzalez ? Justice ? Department.


NONE !


The Justice Department of the USA IS NECESSARY to carry out our laws and protect National Security. There is NO outsourcing The Justice Department because Gonzalez was a brilliant strategist to the appearance of incompetency. There was no incompetency, there was PLANNED Obsolescence of government REGARDLESS of its importance to National Security.

If Holder is worth his salt, he'll assign a Special Prosecutor while realizing there may be nothing to prosecute as THE APPEARANCE of incompetency will only prove the next step might be to remove licenses to practice. Holder's Special Prosecutor would have to PROVE there was a CONTINUED and steady trend that compromised the integrity of Prosecution. It is bigger than the Steven's Case and should be attempted for the sake of 'ending' the possibility of any repeat attempt by future administrations and/or Justices.

The problem in pursuing 'the perfectionING' of the USA Constitution and its practice, is the cost and whether the people of the country will 'frown' at the implimentation of still another investigation of the Bush Executive Branch while calling it 'political horseplay' at the public's expense.

To me it is not horseplay so much as defending our Constitution.

...The case, against the former U.S. attorney general, Alberto R. Gonzales (click here), and others, was sent to the prosecutor's office for review by Baltasar Garzon, the crusading investigative judge who ordered the arrest of Augusto Pinochet, the former Chilean dictator. The official said that it was "highly probable" that the case would go forward and that it could lead to arrest warrants.
The move represents a step toward ascertaining the legal accountability of top officials in the former administration of President George W. Bush for allegations of torture and the mistreatment of prisoners in the campaign against terrorism....

The Eurasian Plate

Italy quake prediction makes waves in California seismology circles (click here)

...A little over a week ago, a scientist little known in earthquake circles made a bold prediction of a destructive earthquake around the small town of Sulmona, Italy, based on readings of radon gas. Giampaolo Guiliani went so far as to tell the mayor of Sulmona that it would strike within the next 24 hours. The deadline passed, and nothing happened.
Then, early Tuesday, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck about 35 miles away, near the town of L’aquila, sparking a controversy in Italy and around the world about whether Guiliani actually predicted the temblor. That prediction is the latest twist in the maddening scientific quest to predict earthquakes....


On Tuesday, January 17th 1995, at 5.46 a.m. (local time), an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 on the Richter Scale struck the Kobe region of south-central Japan. (click here)


If one examines closely the Eurasian Plate it will be noted there is a 'double fold' if you will very near Italy. As a matter of fact, it is due to this region that Italy moved away from the continent and forms a 'peninsula' in the shape of a boot.

The Eurasian Plate is also responsible for some of Japan's earthquakes which are very frequent.



When I consider this earthquake along with others on the Pacfic Rim, it is easy to say they are all related as the Pacific Plate and Eurasian plate contact each other and when the Pacific Plate moves Japan gets a bolt. It is not a far stretch to realize as the Pacific Plate moves, so the Eurasian Plate does as well impacting Japan with a double dose of a dynamic Earth.

It makes sense that as the Eurasian Plate 'accepts' friction and strain from the Pacific Plate, the first major 'slip' would occur at its weakest spot, Italy where the plate is weaker than in other areas.

According to The Religious Right, "Marley and Me" is unfit for children's viewing.

The author of "Marley and Me" is John Grogan (click here). They don't come more wholesome than this !



Why does the 'Dobson Folks' (click here) find this adorable film offensive to children? Ready for this? BECAUSE, Jennifer Anston in ONE scene in the film 'winks' suggestively at her husband. GOD FORBID, a wife would flirt with her spouse. I mean to tell you, The Religious Right according to Dobson has to live a sterile life in view of their children.

WOW. What a contrast to Wasilla, Alaska.

A wink. They are a strange bunch. Strange.

A reasonable and sane review of the delightful movie is below. A wink. Weird people. Weird. A wink. Wow.

The latest Neocon Political Buzz word is "Arrogant."

Dennis Miller is holding President Obama hostage because he is offended for being called 'An Arrogant American.'

Hm.

Let's just examine ONE fact. Not a lot of facts, but, just ONE fact. And see if Americans qualify as arrogant.

This ONE fact isn't anything to boast about and it is the most passively deadly act the USA has ever committed to its own people and that of any other country on the plant. The ONE act by the USA that qualifies it as the MOST, not just 'an arrogant' nation, but, the MOST arrogant nation on the face of the Earth.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions (click here):

The United States of America emits 19.66 tonnes of carbon dioxide per capita per year.

The United States of America emits 1000 tonnes of CO2 every 5.3 SECONDS.

China emits 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per capita per year.

China (A THIRD World Country) emits 1000 tones of CO2 every 6.4 seconds.

Great Britian emits 9.23 tonnes of CO2 per capita per year.

Great Britian emits 1000 tonnes of CO2 every 56.1 seconds.

Need I go on? Well, maybe just one more. Let's 'pick on' India.

India emits 1.17 tonnes of CO2 per capita per year.

India emits 1000 tonnes of CO2 every 23.5 seconds.

Considering the United States of America had NO excuses to 'look the other way' except for the 30 years of Republican ? leadership ? which stated it wasn't economically feasible (You know the folks. The folks like Bush and Paulson that brought the world the fiscal collapse of the world in 2008.) to convert to any other form of energy than fossil fuels.

When considering the criticisms of President Obama CONSIDER the source. It might be that is more revealing than the criticism itself.

New York State Governor Mansion going Green

Low Cost Greening Tips (click here)

...“If our buildings are unhealthy, it increases the chances that we will be unhealthy and that our children will be unhealthy,” said First Lady Michelle Paige Paterson. “Inefficient buildings are the largest contributors to global warming — in fact, nearly 40 percent of greenhouse emissions come from buildings. This level of pollution contributes to poor air quality and poor health.”
“Greening the Mansion” is a model for all homeowners. It demonstrates ways people can change their homes to make them environmentally friendly. Through simple steps such as upgrading to energy-efficient light bulbs, using natural fiber doormats to reduce the need for vacuuming and toxic floor cleaners, and installing energy-saving appliances, homeowners can significantly reduce pollution and their energy bills....
