This is not FunnyOriginal Post
opit- While it's not funny at all ... even without reading the story I can
think of a trail of perverted electioneering stunts that have 'fixed'
elections for years. There's a 'go to' on that at BradBlog.
He's the one who brought Sibel Edmonds ( Boiling Frogs ) to
peoples' attention, an ex-FBI translator that made things hot re:
mafia links to NATO black ops run out of Turkey...with access
to Washington that is insane.
The movie on Valerie Plame / Wilson is going to be available
soon. That's the once head of the nuclear threat desk at the CIA
running the Brewster Jennings network that was 'blown' by
Cheney aide 'Scooter Libby' - that's what he confessed to
anyway - just in time to invade Iraq on phony WMD reports :
the same kind that are posted against Iran with monotonous
regularity.
Both those ladies had intel impacting execution of the
NPT TRAP.

Partisan politics and all 'parliamentary procedures' relate to the
original 'parlez-ment' : speaking place. It was a deceptive sop to
the need of the common peple to discuss their grievances. The
state thought it was its job to give them to them - ever since the
1066 terms of surrender at Hastings, England, which turned the
country into such an open air slave state that the hereditary
executive rebelled against its excesses - just like the ones
authorized in the Patriot Act - in 1215 and instituted limits :

Chernobyl Consequences of the Catastrophe
"The wrong general assumption of a constant linear radiation
effect from high to zero (half a dose, half the effect) is
unfortunately even today still the base of the radiation
protection laws, although supralinear effects in vivo (Petkau
effect) are today confirmed on all levels of live including man."

Low Radiation: The Petkau Effect
Read ‘em and seep: The Petkau effect
Petkau’s findings are a critical part of understanding the recent
seeding of pretty much the whole earth with radioactive this-n-
thats, everything from the Chinese, Russian, US, etc nuke tests,
to the use of depleted uranium in various projectiles all over the
sandbox (I’m waiting on DU (depleted uranium) shells to make
their way in the Libya conquest).
All of which is useful information to have in mind when reading
stories coming out of Japan this morning – and judging by the
lack Petkau effect references in various news operations, we have
to assume that the level of general competence when it comes to
understanding the nonlinear effects of long term, lower level
ionizing radiations is pretty dismal. But, as we are continually
reminded around here, just because a critical bit of information is
not in the news doesn’t mean it isn’t critically important in
evolving news going forward.Unless, of course, the media covering ‘news’ is not covering
pure news at all (which is acontexting effort) rather than just
throwing facts around in a willy-nilly disconnected, non-
contextualized way — which if you haven’t noticed — is what
media empires are made of lately.“Toxic plutonium seeking from Japan’s nuclear plant” headlines a
Bloomberg piece. Not that we’re surprised, mind you. That is
ionizing stuff, ain’t it? Read ‘em and seep.....Again, somewhat oddly, the MainStreamMedia seems
curiously reluctant to use the world ‘meltdown’. Yet, in this
morning’s briefing from the International Atomic Energy Agency,
we see that meltdown is in fact what’s going on (see highlight):
....Now, to the average nutjob, molten fuel rods are a meltdown,
although a little checking finds of 21,402 hits on the single word
“meltdown” which is applied much more widely to things like the
antics of humans, narrowing in to the search subset “partial
meltdown” hit 3,622 references which indicated to Mr. Cynical that
the mass media is still looking at this in terms of a little bit pregnant.
Against this background, the NY Times report that the “Japanese
operator says it will scrap four reactors at plant” simply fills what
around here has been a foregone conclusion.

The GOP's Phony Troop-Pay Ploy
Faulting Democrats for pushing the country toward
a shutdown, Rep. C.W. Bill Young (R-Fla.) noted
that soldiers won't get paid unless there's a budget
agreement. "You've got kids in the military serving
in Afghanistan and Iraq whose wives are going to be
wondering, 'Why didn't we get paid this month?'"
Young said. "If they want that on their conscience,
we're covered."...
When pressed about the bill's policy riders, however,
House Republicans demurred—and simply continued
bashing Democrats for harming America's troops.
Republicans have stuck to this message with a singular
discipline rarely seen since the heyday of Newt.
Except this message doesn't pass the smell test. The
very same GOP congressmen crying "save the troops"
are the ones who've been playing politics with the
livelihoods of our (largely underpaid) serving men
and women: For more than a week, they've had a bill,
proposed by one of their own, that would keep soldiers
' paychecks flowing in a shutdown. And they've sat on
it.
HR 1297, the Ensuring Pay for Our Military Act, was
introduced back on March 31 by Louie Gohmert
(R-Texas), with whom we've had our fun in the past.
"If Congress cannot pass a budget, it’s not right for
these valiant warriors and their families to suffer
through a late paycheck. This is about paying those who
protect us and defend our freedom," Gohmert said in a
much-ballyhooed rollout for the bill,which was covered
by Fox News. Cosponsoring the bill are 106 members of
Congress, mostly conservative Republicans, and it has
no amendments, no riders, no pork: It simply mandates
that troop pay continue as it normally would, through
the end of the year, even if the federal government
faces a funding gap and shutdown.
Yet it hasn't been brought to the House floor for a vote.
Gohmert hasn't mentioned his own bill publicly since
April Fool's Day.
The salient point, as we enter shutdown mode, is this:
Republicans have had at least three opportunities this
week to preserve the livelihoods of US service members
and their families, while keeping the budget debate open.
They had their moment. They had their chance. They
have not led.
