If you have the time, I suggest that you read this summary of the BM bombing evidence:
http://whowhatwhy.org/2015/03/30/whats-not-being-revealed-in-the-tsarnaev-courtroom/
The evidence being presented is contradictory and makes absolutely no sense.
I think the key issue here is the following:
With the prosecution trying to paint the brothers as “lone wolves” who acted without any outside help, the defense has focused on saving Dzhokhar from the death penalty by blaming the defendant’s actions on older brother Tamerlan. As a result, both sides appear content to ignore the possibility that others were involved in the planning or facilitation of the bombing—even though the government once contended that this might be the case.
This trial will not determine who made and placed the bombs. Those feats were assigned to the brothers by the MSM long before the trial started.
This all seems to beg the question "what is really going on here?"
For some insight on that, I suggest you watch this 9 minute video about the lawyer representing the surviving brother. She seems to be the person who is summoned when there's a government psyop underway and there might be a chance that the truth will somehow pop out accidentally:
https://youtu.be/AhT6Im3dpgY
Perhaps there's nothing sinister going on here, but it does seem a strange coincidence that once again the so-called "trial" will be a lengthy public spectacle focusing mostly on how severe the punishment should be.
By the way, what kind of human experimentation is going on at ADX Florence, CO?
Update: Clearly, it's more important that someone like Mark Wahlberg tell us what happened at the BM bombing than it is to have a real trial at which real evidence is presented to a real jury who then actually are allowed to decide what happened that day and who did what:
http://www.austin360.com/feed/entertainment/movies/mark-wahlberg-to-produce-boston-marathon-bombing/f6ZF5/
I mean, don't you think it's better to have Hollywood and actors put this to bed for us? We sure don't need any "conspiracy theorists" pointing out how the official proceedings are a bunch of crap, do we?
There's this thing called "epistemology" which keeps getting in the way:
... the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope. Epistemology is the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.
Obviously Americans would rather have the "facts" presented to them on TV than to have them investigated and debated in a courtroom or laboratory. Seeing it on the screen makes it "real" and "believable", and doesn't require any legal or scientific mumbo-jumbo, which most of us don't understand anyway.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. (Acts 2:17)

Collapsing Empire Thought For The Day
As the endgame approaches, those still nominally in charge of the collapsing empire resort to all sorts of desperate measures - all except one: they will refuse to ever consider the fact that their imperial superpower is at an end, and that they should change their ways accordingly. George Orwell once offered an excellent explanation for this phenomenon: as the imperial end-game approaches, it becomes a matter of imperial self-preservation to breed a special-purpose ruling class—one that is incapable of understanding that the end-game is approaching. Because, you see, if they had an inkling of what's going on, they wouldn't take their jobs seriously enough to keep the game going for as long as possible.
As empires collapse, they turn inward, and subject their own populations to the same ill treatment to which they subjected others. Here, America is unexceptional: the number of Americans being murdered by their own police, with minimal repercussions for those doing the killing, is quite stunning. When Americans wonder who their enemy really is, they need look no further.
But that is only the beginning: the precedent has already been set for deploying US troops on US soil. As law and order break down in more and more places, we will see more and more US troops on the streets of cities in the US, spreading death and destruction just like they did in Iraq or in Afghanistan. The last license to kill to be revoked will be the license to kill ourselves.

I think I'll go watch the latest "James Bond" movie marathon and fantasize about how "license to kill" is a good thing.

Bionic Ants Will Take Our Jobs
Robotic ants the size of a human hand that work together could be the future of factory production systems.
The developers, German technology firm Festo, say it's not just the unusual anatomy of real-world ants that inspired the bionic version - the collective intelligence of an ant colony was also something they wanted to replicate.
The bionic ants cooperate and coordinate their actions and movements to achieve a common aim - in the same way individual ants complete tasks for the whole colony. Festo says that in the future production systems will be based on intelligent individual components that adjust themselves to different production demands by communicating with each other.
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/bionic-ants-could-tomorrows-factory-workers-072509315.html
Face it - our working days are numbered. And once we no longer work, how will we feed ourselves? The rich are buying up all the land, water, and seeds.
One of the reasons Satan rebelled against G-d was that he refused to worship man. Now Satan has induced the clever and the rich to create robotic creatures which will destroy man.
Do you think this is a good thing? I don't. We are being backed into a corner from which escape will not be an option.

Can Yemen Defeat Saudi Arabia ???
Yemen is threatening a "crushing response" to Saudi aggression:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/yemens-response-to-saudi-aggression-will-devastate-the-arab-kingdom-change-the-map-of-the-region/5439713
It would be an interesting turn of events if Yemen were to defeat Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately it would not help the people of the region, since either the US or Israel would rush in to fill the vacuum created by the fall of the House of Saud.
After all, don't Jews and Christians believe that much of what is now Saudi territory really belongs to Israel?
In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Whether we like it or not, we are in the End Times. Why don't we start acting like it?

Genesis 15:18-21 KJV
To those who think US strategy in the Middle East is "confused" I say this - you don't know jack.
The US is a machine designed by its Founders to bring about the Biblical End Times. Its current strategy can be readily seen just by looking at the map and thinking about what has been happening:
- What appears to be chaos is a well-calculated effort to destroy all the nation-states surrounding Israel,
- What appears to be negotiations (with the Palestinians and the Iranians) are well-calculated charades to keep the suckers from fighting back as they are slowly bled to death, and
- What appears to be friction between Israel and the US is well-calculated boot licking by US politicians who have been bought and paid for by Israeli threats and bribes.
Whether we like it or not, we are in the End Times. Why don't we start acting like it?

Hillary Now Disqualified From Holding Office
Here is a good analysis which shows how under U.S. Code Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 101, Section 2071 Hillary (Tricky Dick) Rodham (a.k.a. Clinton to some of you) is now disqualified from holding office:
http://www.activistpost.com/2015/03/hillary-clintons-legal-downfall-to-us.html
End the lawlessness. No more Clintons.
Update: I would argue that the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution also may disqualify her from holding any public office:
3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. [emphasis added]
If any of her actions or inactions while SOS (such as what she did or did not do regarding Benghazi) gave "aid or comfort to the enemies" of the United States, then this clause applies to her. Is this why she destroyed her emails, because they may have contained evidence of such aid or comfort?
Our Constitution does give us the tools to stop tyranny. Their use, however, requires the kind of courage which is sadly lacking in our Representatives and Senators ... and even in ourselves.

George Takei v. Jesus of Nazareth
"I myself am a Buddhist, not a Christian. But I cannot help but think that if Christ ran a public establishment, it would be open to all, and He would be the last to refuse service to anyone. It is, simply put, the most un-Christian of notions."
https://www.facebook.com/msnbc/posts/887600914669495
Although I want to agree with this sentiment, I am not certain that it is true.
First of all, Jesus did not provide a "service" or run a "public establishment". He proclaimed the Kingdom of God to the lost sheep of Israel and attempted to guide them back to the path leading to their salvation.
He said the following when amplifying the scope of His ministry:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Since the issue at hand apparently stems from certain Biblical laws, I don't think it's at all obvious what Jesus would do in this situation.
Would He say, "George, you are a sinner"?
Or would He say, "I forgive you"?
Or would He say, "It really doesn't matter what you do, as long as you love one another"?
Or would He say, "Every jot and tittle of the law shall be fulfilled"?
Here's what I think: I think it's our place to love, forgive, and show compassion to each other, while it's G-d's prerogative to judge and punish as He sees fit.
What do YOU think?
Update: Apparently Buddhism is neither strongly for nor strongly against same-sex marriage:
http://www.hrc.org/resources/entry/stances-of-faiths-on-lgbt-issues-buddhism
Perhaps George can explain this for us.
Second update: Jesus did say something which might indicate how He felt about marriage:
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Similar sentiments are expressed in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark.
What this seems to say is that marriage is an earthly custom, and that in our highest form (when we will be restored to the form we had before the fall) we will not marry. If marriage therefore is primarily a custom of man, then it is up to us to decide who can marry whom.

Australia Will TAX Bank Deposits
According to this report, Australia intends to tax bank deposits:
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/mar/28/tony-abbott-accused-of-breaking-pledge-over-report-of-bank-deposit-levy

You probably also thought Social Security was an annuity to which you were legally entitled.

Is This The Way To Solve The Iran Crisis ???
As the deadline approaches in Lausanne it should be kept in mind that the only reason for Iran’s nuclear program is Israel’s huge, offensive nuclear arsenal that is a constant threat to the Middle East and the wider world.
Netanyahu has control of up to 400 nuclear warheads situated in underground silos at Dimona, in the Negev, and other sites plus his submarine-based, nuclear-tipped ICBMs submerged in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
The size and extent of this nuclear arsenal confirms that it is many, many times larger than that required for any defensive or deterrent measure and is clearly an offensive threat to all countries in the Middle East and beyond.
Neutralising this threat, by implementing a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone, would solve the entire issue of Iran and nuclear proliferation. A good start would be to insist that Netanyahu now signs the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) without further delay.
Iran, of course, is already a signatory and subject to inspection.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/neutralising-the-threat-of-israels-undeclared-nuclear-arsenal-would-immediately-solve-the-iranian-issue/5439591
I do not agree that this would stop Iran or anyone else from developing nuclear weapons, but it is something that needs to be done. Israel's nuclear arsenal was not developed to protect against its neighbors. Those weapons are meant for the Russians and us.

Official Transcript Of Ted Cruz Presidential Announcement
Although Ted Cruz is one of my Senators, I will not be supporting him in 2016 (or for any other election):
By the way, a true and faithful Christian does indeed want the End Times to begin:
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Revelation 6:9-10 KJV
And (not surprisingly, if you think about it), so did the Ghost Dancers who were massacred by the US Army at Wounded Knee. America fears (with good reason) that she will be punished by G-d at the end of the age, so she is doing all she can to stop the clock.

Which is the more advanced society? Which is the more brutal?
Are our prisons like this because we enjoy "punishing" people, or because the prison owners enjoy making so much money?

Who Chooses "Our" Presidents ???
The Founders set up an "electoral college" to choose the US President, allegedly so that the best person available would get the job.
Today, even though we supposedly have free elections to choose the President, the selection is really made by bankgangsters, corporations, and their collaborators in the one percent.
You can read a discussion about how this will work in the 2016 election here:
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/03/hillary-clintons-presidential-campaign-now-effectively.html
I don't vote. Voting in the US is a sick joke, and the candidates and so-called issues are an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
But I urge you to do whatever you think is best. And when you do, remember this:
The Master's tools will never dismantle the Master's house.
And voting is one of the Master's tools.

Comply, Or Else
This is what the US has become, and it's not a pretty picture:
“Do exactly what I say, and we'll get along fine. Do not question me or talk back in any way. You do not have the right to object to anything I may say or ask you to do, or ask for clarification if my demands are unclear or contradictory. You must obey me under all circumstances without hesitation, no matter how arbitrary, unreasonable, discriminatory, or blatantly racist my commands may be. Anything other than immediate perfect servile compliance will be labeled as resisting arrest, and expose you to the possibility of a violent reaction from me. That reaction could cause you severe injury or even death. And I will suffer no consequences. It's your choice: Comply, or die.”
Americans as young as 4 years old are being leg shackled, handcuffed, tasered and held at gun point for not being quiet, not being orderly and just being childlike - i.e., not being compliant enough.
Americans as old as 95 are being beaten, shot and killed for questioning an order, hesitating in the face of a directive, and mistaking a policeman crashing through their door for a criminal breaking into their home - i.e., not being submissive enough.
And Americans of every age and skin color are being taught the painful lesson that the only truly compliant, submissive and obedient citizen in a police state is a dead one.
The Official GermanWings Crash Story Is BS
We are being told that the GermanWings pilot was locked out of the cockpit and could not get back in. Well, here are the operating instructions for the door, and they tell a completely different story:
Ident.: DSC-25-11-10-00001006.0001001 / 09 OCT 12
Applicable to: MSN 2649-3685, 4670-5367
A forward-opening hinge door separates the cockpit from the passenger compartment. It has three electric locking strikes, controlled by the flight crew. In normal conditions, when the door is closed, they remain locked. When there is a request to enter the cockpit, the flight crew can authorize entry by unlocking the door, that remains closed until it is pushed open.
When the flight crew does not respond to requests for entry, the door can also be unlocked by the cabin crew, by entering a two to seven-digit code (programmed by the airline) on the keypad, installed on the lateral side of the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP).
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/03/27/350535/
Once again, the MSM did not do their job and a lie is being perpetrated because of it.
I guess after what happened to Gary Webb they must all have turned into cowards.
The next question is "how much of what we're being told about the co-pilot was made up to support the big lie of how the plane crashed?"
Update: Apparently the FAP keypad signal can be overridden from inside the cockpit:

Is This The King Of The South ???
Egypt’s president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, has backed calls to create a unified Arab force to confront regional security threats, and said intervention in Yemen was the “inevitable” result of meddling by a foreign power.
Speaking at an Arab League summit, he said that the military campaign against Shia Houthi militias in Yemen, which has been led by Saudi Arabia, aimed to “preserve Yemen’s unity and the peace of its territories”.
Sisi was backed by Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, who vowed that the military intervention in Yemen would not stop until the country was stable and safe.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/28/egypts-president-backs-united-arab-force-to-tackle-regional-security-threats
It makes sense to me that SISI should fight ISIS, since they are two sides of the same coin.
Take note that it was the False Prophet (the US President) who caused all this to happen, as Dr. Ron Paul reminds us in this essay:

It makes sense to me that SISI should fight ISIS, since they are two sides of the same coin.
Take note that it was the False Prophet (the US President) who caused all this to happen, as Dr. Ron Paul reminds us in this essay:

Is Dark Matter A Hoax ???
According to a recent study, "dark matter" is really dark:
A new study published Thursday in Science suggests that dark matter might be able to zip through the universe without slowing or dragging because particles of it don't even interact with each other.
Based on what we can observe about the universe, galaxies should be tearing themselves apart. That's where so-called dark matter comes in: It's a term for the as-of-yet unobserved matter that must be bulking up cosmos, giving galaxies the gravity they need to spin at the rates they do without falling to pieces. But even though we haven't caught dark matter (so named because it doesn't interact with light the way normal matter does -- not absorbing or reflecting it -- though it does bend light with a weird lensing effect) in a straightforward observation, scientists can learn about it based on the effects it has on more typical, observable forms of matter.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/03/27/dark-matter-is-apparently-darker-than-we-thought/
In fact, it appears there is no direct evidence at all of its existence.
It is said to exist because no one understands how momentum appears to be distributed in galaxies. But is totally invisible and undetectable "dark matter" the only possible explanation for that momentum distribution? Of course not.
Time to come up with an explanation which does not involve invisible and undetectable matter - something like maybe the galaxies are created from the inside out instead of being formed by gravitational accretion.

Our Children Are Addicted To Internet And Smartphones
This report documents just how addicted they are:
The most enriching, eye-opening learning experience happened nowhere near my child’s school this year.
For 45 years, the Parkway School District has sent its sixth-graders to an overnight outdoor school on YMCA campgrounds a couple hours away by school bus. It used to be a weeklong program until budget cuts eliminated a day.
“We talk about connecting with nature,” said Ron Ramspott, coordinator for Healthy Youth Programs for the district. “It’s really about disconnecting with electronics.”
My daughter’s class recently took the four-day trek into the wilderness (a very tamed wilderness as all the cabins have air conditioning and electricity) for lessons on water ecology, wildlife, soil quality, along with outdoor activities such as horseback riding and hiking.
The most daunting aspect is the absolute ban on any digital devices for the entire duration of the trip.
“We weren’t sure we were going to make it,” my daughter said.
One of her friends packed grid paper in case she got Minecraft DTs.
Twelve is the perfect age for such an immersive off-the-grid experience. It may be the first time in their conscious lives that they don’t have a tech device nearby for four consecutive days. They are part of that first cohort who won’t remember a time before ubiquitous handheld screens. They were toddlers when YouTube was born. Google, only four years older than them, has been their constant guide.
Removing them from their hyper-connected, screen-saturated environments offered some of the most significant lessons of the year.
They immediately noticed the loss of instant access to information.
“If you wanted to know how to do something, you had to look it up in the field guide or ask a teacher,” my daughter said. “You couldn’t just search it.”
It’s not surprising how often questions strike a sixth-grader. During a class outside, a student wondered what the most common rock in Missouri was. No phone to find an answer. On the bus, a student wanted to solve a Rubik’s Cube. She couldn’t Google the solution. They couldn’t check the time or set an alarm without resorting to anachronisms like watches and alarm clocks.
In addition to finding new ways to access information and solve problems, they had to manage new ways to communicate.
“We couldn’t contact our friends on the other teams (through texting),” my daughter said. If you needed to talk to someone, you had to do it face-to-face. Imagine that.
The hardest part for her was being unable to document the experience through the 24/7 camera they carry in their pockets.
“There were lots of things I wasn’t able to take pictures of,” she said. That was annoying. After all, this is the pics-or-it-didn’t-happen generation.
Eventually, the impulse to constantly document lessened, and the moment took on its own value. The camaraderie was vital.

An entirely new world has been created, and our children live in it. Soon everyone's children will live in it.
Is this a good thing? School immerses them in the new world, and without an external frame of reference, they have no way of knowing.

Global Corporatocracy Is Just A Pen Stroke Away
Quietly, subtly, almost imperceptibly, the rules governing global trade and financial markets are changing. It is not happening by accident, but by wilful design. Despite the enormous impact it will have on all our lives, the public is not being consulted on any aspects of the process. Most people are not even aware it is happening.
The main driver of this change are the bilateral and multilateral trade and investment treaties being negotiated in complete secrecy and behind closed doors between corporate lobbyists, free trade activists and our own elected “representatives” (a term I use in the loosest possible sense, especially given the context). The ultimate goal of these treaties is to reconfigure the legal apparatus and superstructures that govern national, regional and global trade and business – for the primary, if not exclusive, benefit of the world’s largest multinational corporations.
Corporations have long been powerful economic and political entities, but in recent decades some have grown to dwarf even middling-sized national economies. According to a ranking published by Global Trends, 58 percent of the world’s biggest 150 economic entities in 2012 were corporations. They include oil, natural gas, and mining majors, banks and insurance firms, telecommunications giants, supermarket behemoths, car manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies.
http://wolfstreet.com/2015/03/28/don-quijones-global-corporatocracy-eu-us-trade-pact-resistance-ttip/
And at the rate things are going, that pen stroke will come from either Obama ad-Dajjal or Hillary (Tricky Dick) Rodham (a.k.a. Clinton to some of you). Either way, this will be the biggest sellout since Benedict Arnold plotted to turn over the fort at West Point to the British.
Why do you continue to elect people who lust after power and money and who don't give a shit about what happens to you?

Google And Facebook Are Bad For The Earth
Google, Facebook, and three other companies are gearing up to provide high-speed global WiFi coverage from space within the next three to four years. This would be an ecological and public health nightmare, according to a recently-formed international coalition: the Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space (GUARDS).
According to GUARDS, the extensive satellite networks required will endanger the ozone layer and significantly contribute to climate change. Rocket exhaust contains ozone-destroying chlorine, water vapor (a greenhouse gas), and aluminum oxide particles, which seed stratospheric clouds. Complete ozone destruction is observed in the exhaust plumes of rockets.
http://memoryholeblog.com/2015/03/27/tech-giants-poised-to-bath-earth-in-microwave-radiation/
Is this why Google's new CFO allegedly is worth $70 million?
http://www.businessinsider.com/google-cfo-ruth-porat-salary-2015-3
The network these corporations are building is a sociocidal tool which the nation-state-killing market state desperately needs to enable the next phase of its dirty work.
Ask yourself where the money is coming from to accomplish all this crap. No one puts up that kind of cash unless they expect a huge return. And global hegemony is indeed a huge return.
If Ms. Porat will be instrumental in accomplishing this feat, then her pay will have been worth it, at least to them (the bankgangsters, corporations, and their collaborators in the one percent).
And if the network ultimately helps eliminate all of us useless eaters from the planet, a bit of environmental destruction is not that high a price to pay.

Did Hillary Wipe "Her" Server Clean ???
Here is a report about the latest potentially criminal actions of our former SOS:
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/gowdy-clinton-wiped-her-server-clean-116472.html
Was she even working for us when she was SOS, or was she merely on a publicly-funded global vacation benefiting her political career?
If we cannot name a single good thing she did for America, I think we should demand that she pay back every penny of the millions we spent for her travels and those of her companions and "body servants".

Yes We Are A Police State
US Supreme Court Justice Brandeis said:
"Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman."
But there’s no longer much sunlight to disinfect the corruption of the government or the powers-that-be.
More and more commonly, the government prosecutes cases based upon “secret evidence” that they don’t show to the defendant … or sometimes even the judge hearing the case.
As just one example, government is “laundering” information gained through mass surveillance through other agencies, with an agreement that the agencies will “recreate” the evidence in a “parallel construction” … so the original source of the evidence is kept secret from the defendant, defense attorneys and the judge. A former top NSA official says that this is the opposite of following the Fourth Amendment, but is a “totalitarian process” which shows that we’re in a “police state”.
The government uses “secret evidence” to spy on Americans, prosecute leaking or terrorism charges (even against U.S. soldiers) and even assassinate people.
Secret witnesses are being used in some cases. And sometimes lawyers are being prevented from reading their own briefs.
Indeed, even the laws themselves are now starting to be kept secret. And it’s about to get a lot worse.
American citizens are also being detained in Guantanamo-like conditions in Chicago … including being held in secret, with the government refusing to tell a suspect’s lawyer whether his client is being held.
The Department of Defense has also made it a secret – even from Congress – as to the identity of the main enemies of the United States.
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/03/secret.html
This is truly astonishing and something the Founders could never have imagined in their worst nightmares.
They gave us all the tools we need to prevent such a thing from happening. Why aren't we using them? And what the hell is wrong with Congress?

Nukes For Saudi Arabia ???
According to this report, the Kingdom won't confirm or deny plans to acquire nuclear weapons:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-says-it-wont-rule-out-building-nuclear-weapons-10139229.html
Well, here's some news for you that shouldn't be news at all:
Here's a general description of their phosphate mining operations:
http://www.maaden.com.sa/en/business/phosphate
Once the uranium is extracted, it can be sold (perhaps to Israel?) or stockpiled for later enrichment.
Another potential uranium producer in the region (Morocco) has some of the biggest phosphate deposits in the world. They too are pals with Israel, so perhaps their uranium goes in that direction.
Clearly, the US will not do anything to stop either Israel or Saudi Arabia from acquiring nuclear weapons. We didn't stop stop Iran either until the Shah was deposed.
There will be more bombs. It's only a question of who and when.
By the way, here's an interesting Biblical prediction:
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
There are currently nine "kings" who have nuclear weapons:
The next king to acquire them will be the tenth. Will the ten then exercise their power in conjunction with the beast? Is that why the world is trying to prevent nuclear proliferation, to avert these End Times prophecies?

Audi Androids ???
The carmaker Audi tries using robotic technology to improve the position of its standing workers: The "Chairless chair" - the chair vacant chair. The device was developed by the Swiss start Noonee and is a hydraulically driven chair that provides support for people who stand all day long.
http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2015/03/27/stuhl-zum-anziehen-audi-testet-exo-skelett-fuer-fabrik-arbeiter/
[You may have to translate from the original German to read this report.]
This sounds like a first step in the process of converting workers from humans to androids to robots.
If the cars themselves become self-driving robots, then what's the role of humans in the process?
If the out-of-work humans the robots replace no longer can afford to buy the cars, isn't the entire process self defeating?
Or does this suggest that we are headed for an economy in which only a few (bankgangsters, corporate CEOs, and their collaborators in the one percent) can afford such things and the rest of us are turned into carbon storage devices to help clean up the atmosphere so that the rich can breath the fresh air we'll make for them?
Other possible uses for humans include functioning as incubators for making life-saving drugs for the rich and/or growing new organs or teeth for them.
I urge y'all to come up with some additional viable alternatives. We've probably got less than 10 years until the powers that be start to cull the herd in earnest.

Producing Artificial Humans
Recently, scientists took a huge leap forward in developing a radically new form of immunization. Researchers from the Scripps Research Institute reported in February that they had successfully used a new form of gene therapy to induce monkeys to produce an antibody that deactivates HIV.
This new therapy is fundamentally different from vaccination, which consists of introducing small amounts of infectious material into the body to induce it to produce its own antibodies. In immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer (IGT), scientists instead hope to modify the DNA of patients to enable them to produce entirely new antibodies.
“The reality is we are touching third rails, and so it’s going to take some explanation,” said David Baltimore of the California Institute of Technology, a Nobel Prize recipient, virologist and IGT researcher.
As with all gene therapies, IGT also raises concerns about the ethical implications of gene therapies designed to “improve” or “enhance” human beings rather than simply treat medical conditions. Conferring disease immunity arguably straddles the line between these approaches. Injecting viruses that are designed to modify the human genome also carries the risk of potentially severe side effects.
Thus far, gene therapy researchers have mostly limited themselves to what is known as somatic gene therapy, rather than germ line gene therapy. In the former, only non-reproductive DNA is modified, meaning that the modified traits cannot be passed on to future generations. It is widely accepted that germ line gene therapy poses an even more perilous ethical landscape than the gene therapies already under development.
Finally, the prospect of modifying the human genome raises the question, as always, of who would control such technology, and who would get to decide when it would be used.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/new-gmo-vaccines-alter-human-dna-to-produce-artificial-immunity/5439099
Several years ago I was pondering the human predicament and asking myself "why is this being done to us?" The answer which popped into my head was "to replace man with Satan's counterfeit version of man".
Soon science will have the ability to do just that, and it's becoming clear that governments (or the corporations that tell governments what to do) are ready, willing, and able to carry out that agenda as soon as possible.
Since robots soon will do most of the jobs now performed by humans, why then would anyone even bother to turn us into artificial humans? It's much more likely that this GMO technology will be used somehow to get rid of us.

Apparently the drug cartels have funded sex parties for the DEA. What else did they do?

I see no difference between this and all the individuals and groups who have given money to the so-called Clinton Foundation. Do you?

Rand Paul Sells Out
Apparently Senator Rand Paul has decided to kneel before the Pentagon to get elected President:

Dear Rand: You are completely betraying your father's legacy. The only way you will ever get into the White House is as a guest.

Contacting A Parallel Universe ???
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland plan to conduct experiments which may leak into a parallel universe:
Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ - a key building block of the universe - and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ - a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.
But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.
Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.
“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC."

Does anyone other than me realize how BAD an idea this is?
During the Manhattan Project to create the atomic bomb, the very best scientists in the world participated, including Nobel Laureates. Some of them thought exploding an atomic bomb would set the earth's atmosphere on fire, which would kill all life on the planet. Others disagreed. But they went ahead and conducted their test anyway - IGNORING THE RISK.
This LHC experiment is being conducted under similar circumstances. Some think it will create a black hole and destroy the planet, others don't. But they are going to conduct the test anyway - IGNORING THE RISK.
Who gave these people permission to play G-d and risk all of our lives?

Half Of Boston Youth Have Foreign-Born Parents
Walk up Mass Ave. and you might hear a different language on every block. More than a quarter of Boston’s residents are foreign born, and nearly half of all kids in Boston have at least one foreign-born parent, according to city figures.
But learning English isn’t so easy. More than half of those in need of English-language classes end up on wait lists.
About 3,400 adults are enrolled in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes in Boston, but another 4,000 are waitlisted, according to Alejandra St. Guillen, director of the city’s Office of New Bostonians. That’s only for state-funded programs in the city; but the pattern is the same for private courses.
“Boston has always been a city of immigrants,” St. Guillen said. “You can’t find a place in Boston that doesn’t have a growing immigrant population.”
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2015/03/25/why-hard-learn-english-boston/rjkFiogz7GPCo4sauQWQHI/story.html
Realistically, the situation was probably very much the same in 1776. What's the main difference between then and now?
In 1776, the colonists were able to portray the British as our enemy and to use that imagery to unify the population against them.
Today, "our" government is able to portray white American citizens as the enemy and to use that imagery to unify the immigrant population against us.
In 1776, the powers that be were trying to create a nation state.
In 2015, the powers that be are trying to destroy our nation state and to replace it with a market state.
Immigrants have value in a market state. Citizens of the old nation state don't have value; they represent a net liability.
Capisce?
It's all about power and money (which enables power). It has nothing to do with principles or (don't make me laugh) "democracy".

Saudi Arabia's Coalition
Here is a map showing the nations said to be allied with Saudi Arabia against the rebels in Yemen:
Allow me to point something out - although some of these nations claim to be "democracies", in reality they share many of the characteristics of absolute monarchies and/or military dictatorships.
Who really are the "freedom fighters" here, and who are the tyrants?
If the wealth of this region was used to benefit its people, they would be very well off. Instead, their wealth is being stolen by "Christian" nations and the Israelis. If ISIS were not so brutal, I think they would have lots of support in the region.
Update: This cartoon more or less sums it all up:

Vaccine Voodoo
I cannot verify the accuracy of these numbers, but if correct they are very revealing:
... the following figures illustrat[e] how ... public health and sanitary improvements decreased the incidence of communicable diseases before the introduction of mass vaccination:
Tuberculosis:
200 deaths per 100,000 infants in 1900
<10 deaths per 100,000 in 1960
(Tuberculosis vaccine rarely used in US)
Pertussis (whooping cough)
16 deaths per 100,000 in 1918
<2 deaths per 100,000 in 1948
(Pertussis vaccine introduced in 1948)
Scarlet fever
12 deaths per 100,000 in 1910
0 deaths per 100,000 in 1958
(No vaccine for scarlet fever in US)
Influenza
180 deaths per 100,000 in 1933
10 deaths per 100,000 in 1949
2 deaths per 100,000 in 1965
(Influenza vaccinations first introduced widely in US when senior citizens were targeted)
Measles (England and Wales, where death rates were high)
1,200 deaths per 100,000 in 1850
<25 per 100,000 in 1950.
(Measles vaccinations didn’t began in those countries in 1965)

Take note that this kind of information is seldom mentioned by the MSM when they whine about vaccination.

Will Robots Treat Us LIke Pets ???
Elon Musk thinks robots will treat us like pets:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3011302/Could-robots-turn-people-PETS-Elon-Musk-claims-artificial-intelligence-treat-humans-like-Labradors.html
I think it's more likely they will see us as a threat to their existence and kill us.
Frankly, I think the only reason our pets don't kill us is that they can't get their paws inside the trigger guards of our guns.
Any species which voluntarily creates a machine which will be infinitely smarter than its creator is nuts.
Update: Amazon is having a robot contest with the apparent goal of employing fewer humans:
Robots will use the latest computer-vision and machine-learning algorithms to try to perform the work done by humans in vast fulfillment centers.
Packets of Oreos, boxes of crayons, and squeaky dog toys will test the limits of robot vision and manipulation in a competition this May. Amazon is organizing the event to spur the development of more nimble-fingered product-packing machines.
http://www.technologyreview.com/news/536086/amazon-robot-contest-may-accelerate-warehouse-automation/
Does it not seem strange that today's "geniuses" are expending so much effort in the quest to get rid of us?
Here is what I believe to be an apt comparison:
Adolf Hitler published a book entitled Mein Kampf in which he stated what he was going to do and why he was going to do it. Today the tech oligarchs are doing the same thing - they are telling us what they are doing and why they are doing it. Few people took Hitler seriously in the beginning, and as a result millions died. Few people are taking the warnings about the AI/robot revolution seriously, and as a result millions or perhaps billions of people ultimately may die.
Wake up, while you still can. On this planet, "survival of the fittest" means "the unfit will die". When robots become the dominant "life form" on this planet, the rest of us are doomed.

Cain and Abel
This photo reminds me of the Biblical story of Cain and Abel.
The Palestinians are in the role of Abel, and the Israelis are in the role of Cain.
Cain slew Abel, and G-d placed a mark on Cain.
But this time, we are being led to believe, G-d is pleased with Cain's actions.
Why should that be?
