A new study using data from a pair of gravity-measuring NASA satellites finds that large parts of the arid Middle East region lost freshwater reserves rapidly during the past decade.
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine; NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.; and the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., found during a seven-year period beginning in 2003 that parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran along the Tigris and Euphrates river basins lost 117 million acre feet (144 cubic kilometers) of total stored freshwater. That is almost the amount of water in the Dead Sea. The researchers attribute about 60 percent of the loss to pumping of groundwater from underground reservoirs.

Pope Benedict’s decision to live in the Vatican after he resigns will provide him with security and privacy. It will also offer legal protection from any attempt to prosecute him in connection with sexual abuse cases around the world, Church sources and legal experts say.
“His continued presence in the Vatican is necessary, otherwise he might be defenseless. He wouldn’t have his immunity, his prerogatives, his security, if he is anywhere else,” said one Vatican official, speaking on condition of anonymity. Continue reading “Pope will have security, immunity by remaining in the Vatican”

In a Foreign Policy article titled “Mali’s 2.5 Percent Problem“, political writer and former Chatham House fellow Roger Howard calls for “new and highly drastic” population control measures in Mali to reduce the “terrorist threat”. Howard writes:
“(…) in the aftermath of the Algerian attacks and the insurgency in Mali, expect to hear an overwhelming silence about the population issue . . .The taboo that continues to surround the issue of population control needs to be cast aside. New, and highly drastic, means of curbing the rate of growth have to be devised and put into practice if this dire threat to regional and international stability is ever to be averted.” Continue reading “Expert: Combat Terrorism With “Highly Drastic” Population Control”

TRENTON — An overflow crowd of gun-rights advocates clashed with Democratic lawmakers today during a raucous seven-hour hearing as an Assembly committee approved 20 bills that further restrict access to firearms and ammunition.
The Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee approved the laundry list of measures despite some outbursts from a throng dotted with NRA baseball caps, camouflage clothing and jackets featuring a coiled rattlesnake from the Revolutionary-era flag. At least two in the audience were ejected. Continue reading “Gun control measures approved by N.J. Assembly committee despite protests”
Why would the news broadcast that security cameras in most schools in Houston Texas school districts do not work? Do they know that this is an open invitation for a person on psychotropic medication to go kill school kids. Is the next school shooting going to happen in Houston Texas? This type of news cast is something they should not advertise with someone on psychotropic drugs watching TV. Continue reading “Broken Security Cameras in Houston Public Schools an Open Invitation for Deranged Shooters or a Precursor For a Staged Event??”
One oft-overlooked factor in survival is fitness. How many preppers do you know who rest on laurels of athletic prowess back in their 20s? Whose idea of exercise is getting up to go to the refrigerator, lobbing a crumpled can to the garbage can? Who talk the talk, but never walk the walk, especially if it consists of walking that walk in inclement weather?
In many different survival situations, your personal fitness level can mean the difference between life and death. We’ve already talked about maintaining and achieving a healthy body weight – now let’s talk about being fit. Continue reading “Survival Fitness: Walk the Walk”

The zionist hebrew newspapers Yediot Aharonot and Maariv published on February 13 2013 brief reports about a number of famous spying elements who were arrested secretly in Israel. The story has been widely published in print and online. The fact of their arrests was banned from publication for several years. The Hebrew reports were released following the latest scandal exposed by the Australian media about the israeli Mossad agent Ben Zygier, (זיגייר) an Australian jew who was conveniently “found dead” in his cell at the israeli prison of “Ayalon” in December of 2010, less than a year after the assassination of Palestinian Hamas figure Mahmoud al-Mabhouh (מחמוד אל מבחוח) in Dubai in January 2010.

It has been ten years since Susan Mokdad was MURDER by her captors at Coleman Prison on Valentine’s Day 2003 shortly before she was to be released. Susan and her father, Emilio Ippolito, founded Pro Se Litigant of Tampa Bay back in 1989, a group of about thirty concerned people, who had been shafted by government bureaucrats. The group became Pro Se Litigant of Florida in 1991, growing to over three hundred members. In 1993, they started Pro Se Litigant of America, which grew in membership to over 10,000 members throughout the Country, having member in every state of the Union.
In 1994, Susan and Emilio founded the Common Law Courts. The bureaucRats hated this movement even greater than they hated the Pro Se Litigants. Several black robed devils met in March of 1995, to discuss how to trash court motions filed by members of the Pro Se Litigants. That meeting resulted in a handbook of judges, which instructs judges on how to trash Pro Se Litigant filings.

There’s been a lotta talk about load weights lately (pic stolen from CA @ WRSA by the way). Years back there was a soldier loads study done in Afghanistan by the folks at the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL).

I dug a copy I had out and pulled the weight list they came up with and cleaned a lot of the stuff that you wouldn’t normally carry (anyone out there got a CLU or MWTS?). Anyway I’m putting this up for posterity and maybe you’ll find it useful. Continue reading “A Little Weight List”
