Who Flew The 9-18 Plane? - Redux

THE DAILY DUH Financial terrorism suspected in 2008 economic crash

“   Regardless of the report’s findings, U.S. officials and outside analysts said the Pentagon, the Treasury Department and U.S. intelligence agencies are not aggressively studying the threats to the United States posed by economic warfare and financial terrorism. “Nobody wants to go there,” one official said. Officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said senior Pentagon policymakers, including Michael Vickers, an assistant defense secretary in charge of special operations, blocked further study, saying the Pentagon was not the appropriate agency to assess economic warfare and financial terrorism risks. Mr. Vickers declined to be interviewed but, through a spokesman, said he did not say economic warfare was not an area for the Pentagon to study, and that he did not block further study. Mr. Vickers is awaiting Senate confirmation on his promotion to be undersecretary of defense for intelligence. [Full]

Of course we were the victim of a financial attack, a declaration of war, btw. I find it odd that now, two years after the question "Who piloted the 9-18 plane," was formally asked, we get this news of a "report" that adds nothing by way of discovery.   What does “Nobody wants to go there,” mean?  And, why?  Moslems, Russia, and  China are identified as leading suspects, but there is no mention of the run on our banks, lasting just about one hour, that made a half-TRILLION dollars disappear [9-18].  Why not ask, "Who benefited most?"  Is that where nobody wants to go?  Bill Gertz is is possibly the best Pentagon analyst in the nation, so there's that.  But why this piece?  Does the financially strapped WaTimes need an infusion of readers badly enough to lean on Gertz for something?  Even if  once opened is found empty?  I know who my prime suspects are, and nothing's changed.  Because I know who benefited.

“   "In Kentucky, the State Senate is expected to take up a bill this week declaring the state a 'sanctuary' from meddling by the Environmental Protection Agency," reports the New York Times. In Arizona, the State Senate approved a measure this month that would exempt all products made and consumed within its boundaries from federal interstate commerce laws. The Montana Legislature is considering a bill that would allow the state to nullify federal laws that protect endangered species. In Georgia, a bill that would override federal monetary regulations by requiring banks to accept payment in gold or silver has survived two readings in the State House of Representatives."  Though they might not realize it, liberals paved the way for these laws with medical marijuana bills and illegal immigration sanctuaries.

TSA & Your DNA

After touching your junk, TSA now wants to scan and harvest your DNA

“ As if it's not enough for the TSA to feel you up at the airport, now they're experimenting with rapid results DNA scanners that can scan and analyze your DNA using just a drop of saliva. Spit at the TSA agent who is molesting you, in other words, and they can use that saliva to scan your DNA and then store it in a government database. Why would they want to do that? We can only imagine. Remember, it was Alex Jones who broke the story about hospitals secretly taking blood samples of babies and handing them over to the federal government for use in a national genetic database.  [cont] ” RESOLVED: There's enough real and anecdotal evidence out there to argue, in the affirmative, that Progressives view themselves as a politically pure "master-race".  Which in context is worrisome.

1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster

Take a gander at a real classic.

Can you imagine having the same car for 82 years?!!!   I guess it was no longer under warranty...   "How Long Have You Owned a Car?"  Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death last year.....at the age of 102. He was the oldest living owner of a car from new.  Just thought you'd like to see it.   He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 170,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years)   That's approximately 2000 miles per year...     Wonder what this thing is worth on the open market?    That particular car set his folks back $10,900 (141,700 in 2010 dollars). It's hard difficult to speculate what it would sell for today at auction. A P1 was up for auction recently for $77K with no reserve. I don't know what it sold for. If I would venture to guess though, this car would fetch over $200k (just my guess).[source] Jodi Lou Bama-Rama

Morgan Freeman

La-la-la with Morgan Freeman

I've had various (la-la-la-la) go-to outlets over the years, for when I'm feeling "bad stuff" overload (ahem).  RFD-TV was one.  Some will remember me posting cattle auction videos.  More recently I turned to EWTN (Catholic TV), but their world news is really very good, which means very troubling.  I feel guilty using eff-words in church, so to speak.  Lately I turn to my cache of Through the Wormhole episodes, narrated by Morgan Freeman. I can't think of a better speaking voice than his.  Add to that his acting career.  No, not just that every movie he makes is eminently watchable; it's that he's the rare Hollywooder who seems to be grounded; nowhere close to your typical movieland left-bot.  He's someone very easy to like.  Anyway, I go to sleep listening to Wormhole every night, and every morning I wake with a wonderful understanding of quantum physics - that I unfortunately can't remember.  Maybe Freeman's best moment - maybe the best moment any American has ever had - is this 60 second clip from a Black History Month interview with Mike Wallace.  Morgan Freemen may be the smartest guy in the country.

SR-71 Blackbird, over Libya

How a Pilot Risked His Life To Spy On Libya

“   We had crossed into Libya and were approaching our final turn over the bleak desert landscape when Walter informed me that he was receiving missile launch signals. I quickly increased our speed, calculating the time it would take for the weapons-most likely SA-2 and SA-4 surface-to-air missiles capable of Mach 5 - to reach our altitude. I estimated that we could beat the rocket-powered missiles to the turn and stayed our course, betting our lives on the plane's performance. After several agonizingly long seconds, we made the turn and blasted toward the Mediterranean 'You might want to pull it back,' Walter suggested. It was then that I noticed I still had the throttles full forward. The plane was flying a mile every 1.6 seconds, well above our Mach 3.2 limit. It was the fastest we would ever fly. I pulled the throttles to idle just south of Sicily , but we still overran the refueling tanker awaiting us over Gibraltar.

Smart Phone Beats Speeding Ticket

Smart Phone Beats Speeding Ticket

Half the traffic tickets I've collected, including all two in Virginia, were the result of dishonest coppery, a.k.a. cops who made stuff up, a.k.a. lying pit-faced lowbrows with a badge*.  So this is received with much clap-calp-clappery. .

“ A student describes how he was able to get out a speeding ticket by whipping out his Android. The cop cited him for going over 40 mph in a 25 zone, which he was too frazzled to contest at the time. After he had cooled down and parked his car later, he remembered that he had been running the My Tracks app by Google which records your GPS info and speed. Pulling up the data, he found that he hadn't been speeding. When his court date arrived, he plead not guilty, presented his GPS data, and successfully got out of the ticket. Nice! *On four occasions - when the cops had me dead to rights - I was let off with a warning.  Go figure.

Changing History Willy-Nilly

Fast and Loose

Some years ago I read an article claiming  that the U-2 was not shot down from an altitude of 70,000 feet - by a Russian SAM.  This of course was at odds with the story that Soviets used SAM technology we didn't know they possessed.  This article claimed that, most probably, his engines shut down, and he was brought down only after descending to denser air at a lower altitude. I read it and moved on. A few days ago the Hitler Channels ran a documentary about the Cold War.  One that, out of the blue, included that very Gary Powers-U2 scenario. The Soviets had Powers tracked from the moment he entered their air space, but had no way of shooting him down from 70,000 feet.  Powers suffered a flame-out.  He descended to 60,000 feet, then 50,000, until finally getting a restart at 30,000 feet.  Bam. He was nailed by a Russian SAM. So much for the stories that turncoats, like Lee Harvey Oswald, or John Walker, had given the Soviets information that allowed the shoot-down.  What's nagging me is how this new "history" is being released.  Willy-nilly.  No explanation for why they, the government, allowed the public to believe that the Russkies had more advanced technology than they actually did (wink-wink). Nope, just drop that turd on the bridle path, and canter off. Very untidy, that.

Abercombie Fires Birth Record Overseer

Political battle over who will become director of the Hawaiian health department.     Director controls birth records access        Abercombie falsely charges that nominee is under federal investigation; Fires him!

“   "I have known Abercrombie for 50 years, back to when we were both undergraduate students at the University of Hawaii," Slom said. "Abercrombie was pro-communist and I was pro-American. ... [He's] a small man, about 5 feet 1 inch in height, with a huge ego," said Slom. "He thought he could come into office and do Obama a great favor by putting an end to Obama's birth controversy." Let me axe you something?  Which is it?   Obama has "nothing to hide", or is it "nothing to show?"   And haven't we all been waiting for this shoe to drop?                                                  “ The latest development comes as well-connected sources in Hawaii are warning that certain government officials in the state have been contemplating releasing fraudulent birth records for Obama in the run-up to the 2012 election. At least 11 states are currently considering legislation that would require future presidential candidates to prove constitutional eligibility by proving they are "natural born citizens. [...] ”  Classic cornered rat scenario.  Obama will have no choice but to roll the dice; betting democrat operatives can do a better job of  producing a phony birth certificate then they did with the Bush '"Guard" documents.  Democrats have no problem releasing "false, but accurate" documents, because their cause is so pure, and just. However, failure to pass muster in any such attempt means the end of the Democrat Party, and jail time for anyone involved.  Do you feel lucky, Obamunistas?  Do you?

Government yard sale could help bring down national debt

“   With the government more than $14 trillion in debt  and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) warning that the longer Congress waits to raise the debt ceiling the harder it will be for the Treasury Department to keep the government operating, some have suggested Congress take a note from Sanford and Son and start selling the junk it already owns. So what kinds of crap can we sell off? ”

“ The federal government reportedly owns more than one fourth of the land in the United States. According to the “Budget of the U.S. Government for FY2010,” at the end of FY 2008, the federal government held $767 billion in land, and $421 billion in “mineral rights.” In addition to land, the Office of Budget and Management reports that Uncle Sam also owns more than $1.17 trillion in fixed reproducible capital (things like buildings and machinery) and $290 billion in inventory. “The GAO also notes that the federal government has ‘many assets it does not need,’ including billions of dollars worth of excess and vacant buildings.  If the government were to sell off their General Motors shares it could bring in an estimated $18 billion. Further, ATR suggests that the government make GM repay the $30 billion it got from Troubled Asset Relief Program and leave the estimated $168 billion in remaining “stimulus” dollars unspent. Puh-leeeeze,  Don't get me started.  Okay, they already did.  Let's begin by reversing stupid-as-hell EO, like Clinton's that took out largest deposit of clean burning coal off the market; or Obama's, that's shut down oil drilling everywhere. It will do little good to sell everything, but hamstring the entrepreneurial spirit with insane energy and enviro law.   But, let's face it.  This bankruptcy we face is only a symptom of the much larger root problem.  The Easy-Bake Oven loses its soul That would be government that causes stuff like this. Get rid of that government, or pound sand. ”

Democrats lied, Now they get pied.

Democrats and Unions make a claim.  Turns out they lied. Yawn.  Carry on.

“ The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and other supporters of the state's teachers union claim that the five states that do not have collective bargaining for teachers have the following SAT/ACT ranks: South Carolina -50th/ North Carolina -49th/ Georgia -48th/ Texas -47th/ Virginia -44th," and that Wisconsin ranks second. According to Politifact, the claim is completely bogus. More likely, it's because only 4 percent of Wisconsin students took the SAT in 2010, compared to 74 percent of Georgia students, 67 percent of Virginia students, 66 percent of South Carolina students, 63 percent of North Carolina students, and 53 percent of Texas students. Hell, every state in the country would have a shot at the podium if it excluded 96 percent of its students from standardized test rankings.

“   While we were in Sharm el-Sheikh, President Mubarak happened to visit the place. I remember the fear which suddenly engulfed the town when it was announced that Mubarak was coming on an unexpected visit; I can still see the cavalcade of black cars on the day of his visit and feel the almost physical awareness of fear, like a cold chill on that very hot day in Summer. It was a weird experience; Mubarak is not considered the worst of the Islamic tyrants and yet, the fear of the ordinary Egyptians for their leader could be felt even by me. I wonder how Saudis feel when their King is in town, how Libyans feel when Gaddafi announces his coming, how Iraqis must have felt when Saddam Hussein was near. A few years later, I read in the Koran how the 7th century Arabs felt in the presence of Muhammad, who, as several verses describe, “cast terror into their hearts” (suras 8:12, 8:60, 33:26, 59:12). [Extra credit if you're Moslem] Via Anonamoose:   "Geert Wilders is a good spokesman. I can see why so many want him dead or at least shut up."
