Once the fourth-biggest lake in the world, the eastern basin of the Aral Sea in central Asia is now completely dry. It is the result of a Soviet-era project to divert rivers for agriculture and a lack of rainfall at its source.

“This is the first time the eastern basin has completely dried in modern times,” Philip Micklin, an Aral Sea expert from Western Michigan University told NASA’s Earth Observatory, which captured fresh satellite images of the lake. “And it is likely the first time it has completely dried in 600 years, since Medieval desiccation [drying out] associated with diversion of Amu Darya to the Caspian Sea.”   Continue reading “NASA pics show Aral Sea basin now completely dry”

Thus far this election cycle has been a dud. Hardly a sweat is broken in the rarified air of partisan politics punditry. The only consistent factor that can always be counted upon to amuse is the reams of paper wasted on the false promises and prevarication made by the esteemed party regulars. It is easy to simply blame the entrenched incumbents or the current crop of insurgents, but it goes much deeper when an entire nation remains mute in the face of the worse run and most condemnable conduct, coming out of the District of Criminals in decades. The party in power traditionally will suffer huge losses in Congress, while the gang of “pols” out of power will start contacting real estate agents within the beltway.   Continue reading “2014 Election Business as Usual”

When many gentilian Americans read or hear the word Mossad they think of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, perhaps a few think of Haifa and Jaffa. Few think of the Syrian Rebel Army’s leaders as having proof of the Mossad operating in Syria. Any independent journalist running afoul of Haaretz and Reuters runs a high risk of organized harrassment and Morgellons disease infection by Mossad operatives operating with impunity in the U.S.   Continue reading “U.S. Mossad Operatives and Operations”
