Germany's top soldier quits over Afghanistan raid
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8380226.stm
The strike, which was ordered by a German commander, targeted two fuel tankers hijacked by Taliban militants.
But dozens of civilians were also killed in the attack, which happened in the northern province of Kunduz.
Defence Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg told parliament that Gen Schneiderhan had failed to provide proper information about the incident and had "released himself from his duties at his own request".
Another senior Defence Ministry official, Peter Wichert, has also resigned.
The announcement came as Germany's parliament debated whether to extend its military mission in Afghanistan, amid growing domestic opposition to involvement in the conflict.
Obama and NAFTA: Guess what he's up to NOW...
http://cannonfire.blogspot.com
I'm still furious at the HuffPo idiots who saw fit to attack Bill Clinton. (See the revised version of the post below.) One of the die-hard CDS-addled Obots wrote:
He's jealous because it [health care] is not a part of his legacy. NAFTA is.Actually, a principled fight for real health care reform is part of Clinton's legacy. As for NAFTA (which has, in common parlance, become a synonym for free trade)...
Does anyone remember the great NAFTA scandal of 2008? Before the Ohio primary, Obama published utterly false pamphlets claiming that he opposed NAFTA and always had. In fact, he had supported it -- and just as soon as the primaries were over, he turned right around and supported it again.
He explained his Janus-faced attitude thus: "Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified."
During the period when Obama was telling crowds how much he hated NAFTA and favored protecting American workers, he had his Chicago School economics adviser Austan Goolsbee tell the Canadians that Obama didn't really mean it. When caught, Goolsbee at first tried to claim that he had no connection to the Obama campaign -- a laughable fib.
..............................
The Canadian government conducted an investigation and concluded that Hillary was 100% innocent and Obama was 100% guilty as charged.
A subsequent account of the meeting by Canadian officials indicated that Obama economic adviser Austan Goolsbee had informed them that Obama's criticism of NAFTA could be taken as "political positioning."
HuffPo, trying to square the circle, decided that Obama had always offered "nuanced" support for NAFTA. Well, he sure as hell didn't sound very nuanced during the primaries.If Obama had not pretended to be anti-NAFTA -- i.e., anti-free trade -- he would not be president today. So what hath the progs wrought? What is Obama up to on the free trade front?
From an NYT piece published on April 20:
The administration has no present plans to reopen negotiations on the North American Free Trade Agreement to add labor and environmental protections, as President Obama vowed to do during his campaign, the top trade official said on Monday.(There's quite a bit of this article missing BTW)
Despite Obama's history of unabashed lying on the issue of free trade, the progs continue to blame Bill Clinton.

All Your Base mashed up with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody
This is ridiculously amazing: the terrible Engrish subtitles from Zero Wing that inspired the cult video All Your Base Are Belong to Us, sung to the tune of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

UK plutonium cuts strategy 'in disarray' - scientists
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8379956.stm
One of the authors of the BPG report, retired general Sir Hugh Beach, said: "It's a total absurdity that we should have 100 tonnes of separated plutonium sitting up at Sellafield in tin cans... that is manifestly ludicrous."
The report also said the failure of a taxpayer-funded facility to make nuclear fuel from the plutonium was "scandalous".

Psychobiophysics Research Organization
An Online Interactive Research Forumhttp://www.psychobiophysics.org/?gclid=COf9mMOhqZ4CFSn6agodZzxglQ
The purpose of this site is to promote and discuss new ideas on the relation between psychology and physics, and other scientific principles. The site is managed and created by Alan Haas, Ph.D. who is researching and developing these ideas. The foundations of these theories are laid out in his new book, entitled “Two Essays on the Implications of the Interconnectedness of Reality.”
Some of the theories on psychology require a basic understanding of the physical and life sciences, including some chemistry and biology. The first part of the book is dedicated to a philosophical style discussion of some new ideas in theoretical physics and some general principles in science. It is hoped that the general perspective introduced in the first treatise will be of some use in understanding how concepts from the physical sciences may be applied to the psychology in the second part of the book, although not all of the physics is directly related to psychology.
It is important to note that the treatment of the topic of psychology and physics presented here is very different than other authors often suggest about this subject. Those approaches usually try to relate specific microscopic quantum mechanical effects directly to the mind. Instead, this version attempts to explain how physical, chemical, and biological effects may be combined to produce macroscopic observed behavioral effects.

How Religion Deceives You About Your Incredible Future
BY DAVID C. PACK
The truth of the gospel—God’s awesome purpose for man—has been withheld. It explains why you were born. It is incredible knowledge! It will leave you dumbfounded. This amazing knowledge is now revealed—along with the cover-up to suppress it!
Billions are now deceived. Previous billions have been. Even you have been lied to. A complete seduction has taken place, and all the world’s religions have played a part in it. Knowledge of your awesome potential—your incredible future—has been kept from you!
Many wonder and worry about the unknown—and what their future holds. Others fear they do not even have a future. Still others fear that civilization has no future. You need never be in doubt about your future again—or of mankind’s.
If only humanity knew what God has in store for it! Yet a deliberate suppression of the truth has withheld this knowledge from all but a few. You can be an exception. You can be one of the few who is not deceived!
The world has believed a false gospel for 2,000 years. It has generally supposed that Jesus Christ is the gospel rather than the Messenger of it. The Message—the centerpiece—of the gospel is not Christ. By focusing on Him—the Messenger—religious deceivers have been able to successfully suppress and cover up the Message that He brought!

Climategate: five Aussie MPs lead the way by resigning in disgust over carbon tax
ABC news reports that five frontbenchers from Australia’s opposition Liberal party have resigned their portfolios rather than follow their leader Malcolm Turnbull in voting with Kevin Rudd’s Government on a new Emissions Trading Scheme.
The Liberal Party is in turmoil with the resignations of five frontbenchers from their portfolios this afternoon in protest against the emissions trading scheme.
Tony Abbott, Sophie Mirabella, Tony Smith and Senators Nick Minchin and Eric Abetz have all quit their portfolios because they cannot vote for the legislation.
Senate whip Stephen Parry has also relinquished his position.
