American Spy Satellite Downed In Peru As US Nuclear Attack On Iran Thwarted

Scroll down a bit to get to the article.

Russian Military Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that one of the United States most secretive spy satellites, the KH-13, targeting Iran was ‘destroyed in its orbit’ with its main power generator powered by the radioactive isotope Pu-238 surviving re-entry and crashing in a remote region of the South American Nation of Peru, and where hundreds are reported to be ill from radiation poisoning.

Western media reports are stating that the US spy satellite debris hitting Peru was caused by a meteor, but which, according to these reports, would be ‘impossible’ as the size of 30-meter crater, if caused by a meteorite, would have hit the ground with about as much energy as 1 kiloton tactical nuclear weapon, and which would have been recorded by the seismic stations around the World.

Iraqi Report Says Blackwater Guards Fired First

BAGHDAD, Sept. 18 — A preliminary Iraqi report on a shooting involving an American diplomatic motorcade said Tuesday that Blackwater security guards were not ambushed, as the company reported, but instead fired at a car when it did not heed a policeman’s call to stop, killing a couple and their infant.

Blackwater was a ticking timebomb ready to explode. Unfortunately, it appears that civilians had to die for somebody to take action against this shadowy Iraq security contractor.

'Whores of War' Under Fire

But today, no one in Iraq can do without private security contractors any more -- neither the US military nor the diplomatic corps. US Ambassador Ryan Crocker says his Blackwater escorts are indispensable. Last week he testified to the US Senate that "there is simply no way at all that the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security could ever have enough full-time personnel to staff the security details necessary in Iraq. There is no alternative except through contracts."

Army wants 10,000 new armored vehicles

WASHINGTON — The Army has decided to ask for 10,000 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected armored vehicles to counter the threat of makeshift bombs in Iraq, according to one of the program's top congressional supporters. The new request is nearly four times the 2,700 vehicles, known as MRAPs, that the Army had sought. That's still not enough, said Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., who was briefed on the change by the Defense Department.

If the "troop surge" is working, and we are "making progress" and "spreading democracy" in Iraq, then why do we need to send over 10K additional MRAPs to counter the threat of IEDs? I'm thinking maybe all the old ones got blown up, or there's more IEDs, or both. This is not an indication of failure, not progress.

Cop Cruiser Filmed Plowing Over Man Below OC Weekly World HQ

A video that appears on CelebrityBabylon.com shows a Santa Ana police car rapidly accelerating through the lot and then slamming into a man next to a concrete wall. An officer then gets out of the car, walks to the crushed man and repeatedly asks, "Hey, are you, OK, buddy?" The injuried man said nothing and didn't move.

When police officers suspected that the collision might have been captured on film by a bystander they approached the cameraman and ordered him to stop filming.

Hey, MoveOn! Petraeus Wore Fraud Medal At Testimony

Examining General Petraeus's medals, his official bios and then comparing three reports of events on 3/30/2003 in Najaf, Iraq - two by prize-winning embedded journalists and one understood to be by Army personnel (which document this diarist will produce to a responsible party at any time) - this diarist cannot conclude other than that General David Petraeus wore a medal for combat valor in his testimony before Congress that was a sham, propaganda and a dishonor to his troops and nation.

U.S. Banks Brace for Storm Surge as Dollar and Credit System Reel

By now, you’ve probably seen the photos of the angry customers queued up outside of Northern Rock Bank waiting to withdraw their money. This is the first big run on a British bank in over a century. It’s lost an eighth of its deposits in three days. The pictures are headline news in the U.K. but have been stuck on the back pages of U.S. newspapers. The reason for this is obvious. The same Force 5 economic-hurricane that just touched ground in Great Britain is headed for America and gaining strength on the way.

Rogers: Fed Rate Cut Will Trigger Recession

Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2007 9:36 a.m. EDT Economic and Wall Street experts are banking on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announcing an interest rate cut today when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) convenes for a one-day meeting. But investor Jim Rogers is hoping otherwise; in fact he told Bloomberg that he forecasts the U.S. economy will enter a "serious” recession and the dollar will "collapse” if the Fed reduces interest rates.

Soup kitchen U.S.A.

The days of the dollar as the world’s “reserve currency” may be drawing to a close. In August, foreign central banks and governments dumped a whopping 3.8 percent of their holdings of US debt. Rising unemployment and the ongoing housing slump have triggered fears of a recession sending wary foreign investors running for the exits.

Romney Makes Jokes at 21-Year-Old Tasering Victim's Expense

This isn't the first time that Romney has smiled his way through inappropriate moments, by the way -- as HuffPost's John Neffinger pointed out in the recent GOP debate liveblog, he smiled while giving answers about abortion, illegal immigration, and whether his sons helping him on the campaign was just as patriotic as going to Iraq.

Between a Rock and Ed Brown

The obvious and peaceful way out of this standoff is for it to name, publicly and in detail ready for open scrutiny, the law that taxes what the Browns earned. Ed Brown has promised to surrender upon seeing that, and if the condition is met but he breaks his word, public opinion would swing firmly against him and force would then become an acceptable option.

However, the government has not done that. Not in the two years preceding the Brown trial, despite their repeated requests of the IRS; not at the trial itself in early 2007, which so disgusted them that they declared it a farce and walked out; and not since the trial during the 6-month standoff, during which government lips have been zipped in what is daily becoming an ever more deafening silence.

Fleeing the Country --- Which One to Go To ???

That's a question i've begun to ask myself. The "correct" answer would be to stay and fight in my opnion. I've read that record numbers of Americans are fleeing to Canada, evidently unaware of the troubles said country will face when the dollar collapses, not to mention the North American Union which intends to merge Canada, the US and Mexico. Besides, it's not only my wellbeing i'm concerned with; it's yours as well.
