Jon Stewart Trashes 9/11 Truth  Comedy Central's Jon Stewart along with Stephen Colbert are announcing counter-Beck rallies at the Lincoln Memorial on October 30, 2010. Stewart's is for "Restoring Sanity", Colbert's is for keeping "Fear Alive". While both of these guys have done some pretty amazing work pulling down the pants of right wing hypocrisy and government lunacy, they are nonetheless serving the unhelpful role of left wing progressive gate keepers by once again referring to 9/11 Truth activism as "conspiracy" stuff.

Holding a huge sign on his show saying that "9/11 Was An Outside Job", Stewart is feeding the perception that the left has better things to do than pay heed to serious questioning into the validity of the official 9/11 story. I suppose there is nothing "funny" about questioning the official story. Maybe it's time for either of these comedic geniuses to show some moral backbone and intellectual courage and bring David Ray Griffin or David Chandler onto their shows....but that wouldn't be funny....would it?

From the TELEGRAPH
Brazilian artist in the frame assassinating the Pope, the Queen and George Bush

A Brazilian artist has provoked outrage by unveiling a series of drawings in which he depicts himself assassinating nine world leaders. 

By Heidi Blake
Published: 8:13AM BST 27 Sep 2010

The charcoal drawings by Gil Vicente became a focus of controversy when they went on display at the opening of the Sao Paulo Art Biennial on Saturday.

The former US President George W Bush is shown kneeling on the ground with his wrists bound behind him as Vicente pushes a pistol into his temple.

The Queen faces the onlooker with her hands clasped before her, apparently unaware that the artist is behind her pointing a gun at her back.

Pope Benedict XVI confronts the assassin with his hands raised, while the Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula de Solva is trussed like a joint of meat with a butcher’s knife at his throat.

Other world leaders depicted in the violent series include the former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, the former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, and the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The series, called Inimigos (Enemies), is meant to highlight alleged crimes for which the leaders have been directly or indirectly responsible by imagining that they are being made to pay the price.

"Because they kill so many other people, it would be a favour to kill them, understand? Why don't people in power and in the elite die?" he said.

From Los Angelas times

Segway company owner dies in fall British businessman, Jimi Heselden, who bought the company last year, dies in a fall off a cliff on his West Yorkshire estate, apparently while riding a Segway.

West Yorkshire police said in a statement that the body of Jimi Heselden, 62, had been pulled Monday from the River Wharfe near the town of Boston Spa after a call from a passerby.

Local media reports said he was believed to have lost control of his scooter Sunday on a wooded path that runs close to a 30-foot drop to the river.

Heselden bought the New Hampshire-based Segway company in December. The former coal miner made his fortune after losing his job in the widespread mine closures of the mid-1980s. Using his expertise in coal-mining blast methods, he formed a company, Hesco Bastion, which manufactures protective barriers.

To Protect State Secrets, Pentagon Buys and Destroys BookSeptember 25, 2010 11:12 PM

The Pentagon has purchased and arranged for the destruction of 9,500 copies of a book so it can protect classified information it contains. 

Lt. Colonel Anthony Shaffer's memoir "Operation Dark Heart" had become a headache for the Defense Department which determined after it had gone to print that it contained classified information.  The book recounts the Army Reserve officer's experiences in Afghanistan in 2003 while working for the Defense Intelligence Agency. 

An option being explored with the book's publisher was for the Pentagon to purchase the 9,500 copies of the book's first run so they could be destroyed. 

Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. April Cunningham confirms that is what happened earlier this week.

"DoD decided to purchase copies of the first printing because they contained information which could cause damage to national security," she said. 

According to Cunningham, "the approximately 9,500 copies of the book were "disposed on Sept. 20.  DoD observed the destruction of the copies."

"DoD is in the process of reimbursing Macmillan Publishers for costs associated with the production of approximately 9,500 copies of the first printing of 'Operation Dark Heart,'" she said. 

There is no information as to the costs associated with this effort.

Under an agreement with the publisher, the passages in dispute have been redacted in the book's second printing.  Cunningham said the Pentagon has not purchased copies of the redacted second printing. 

Shortly after the New York Times first reported the controversy over the book earlier this month, Defense Department spokesman Col. Dave Lapan confirmed the discussions with Shaffer's publisher. 

Lapan said there were discussions with Shaffer, his attorney and his publisher "about how to protect classified information and we haven't made any decisions about what the outcome will be."

It is standard procedure for military and intelligence officials to submit book manuscripts for security reviews so any classified information they might contain is not published. 
Lapan said Shaffer had cleared his manuscript with the Army Reserve, "but not with the larger army and with DOD.  So he did not meet the requirements under Department of Defense regulations for the security review."  

The Defense Intelligence Agency was one of the agencies that expressed concerns about some of the information contained in Shaffer's book which details his work for the agency in Afghanistan.  

In its website description for the book, Macmillan says it was contacted by the Pentagon on Aug. 13, "just as St. Martin's Press was readying its initial shipment of this book ... to express its concern that our publication of Operation Dark Heart could cause damage to U.S. national security."

After consulting with Shaffer, "we agreed to incorporate some of the government's changes into a revised edition of his book while redacting other text he was told was classified. The newly revised book keeps our national interests secure, but this highly qualified warrior's story is still intact," the publisher said.

In the description, Shaffer says that "While I do not agree with the edits in many ways, the DoD redactions enhance the reader's understanding by drawing attention to the flawed results created by a disorganized and heavy handed military intelligence bureaucracy."  
The description says Shaffer led a "black-ops team on the forefront of the military efforts to block the Taliban's resurgence." 

One loophole in the news that the book's first printing has been destroyed, the Pentagon has no plans to purchase the dozens of editor's review copies sent out by the publisher.

THE United Nations was set today to appoint an obscure Malaysian astrophysicist to act as Earth’s first contact for any aliens that may come visiting.
Mazlan Othman, the head of the UN's little-known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa), is to describe her potential new role next week at a scientific conference at the Royal Society’s Kavli conference centre in Buckinghamshire.

She is scheduled to tell delegates that the recent discovery of hundreds of planets around other stars has made the detection of extraterrestrial life more likely than ever before - and that means the UN must be ready to coordinate humanity’s response to any “first contact”.

During a talk Othman gave recently to fellow scientists, she said: “The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that some day humankind will receive signals from extraterrestrials.


"When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.”

Professor Richard Crowther, an expert in space law and governance at the UK Space Agency and who leads British delegations to the UN on such matters, said: “Othman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a ‘take me to your leader’ person.”

However, he thinks humanity’s first encounter with any intelligent aliens is more likely to be via radio or light signals from a distant planet than by beings arriving on Earth. And, he suggests, even if we do encounter aliens in the flesh, they are more likely to be microbes than anything intelligent.

Indeed, Alex is right about the increased levels of estrogen in men and food, and the increasing femnization of society as a whole, which would be good, were it in the right places (on top of the pyramid). It has been scientifically proven that many species on earth are starting to give birth to more females then males, including humans in certain regions of heavy pollution, the problem is he knows damn well that his idiot homophobe viewers will simply hear "government makes gays" and assume that there wasn't gays before government or some shit, what about those athenians??? LOL!!!

FROM NEWSAU
Computer model shows how the Red Sea parted
A strong wind at a bend in a river creates ideal conditions
It's possible the waters parted for Moses

COMPUTER modelling has explained how the Red Sea parted for Moses and the Israelites escaping from the Pharoah.
The story, told in biblical writings and in the Koran, describes an east wind blowing the water apart, leaving a dry tract of land for the group to flee across.

When the Pharoah's army tries to follow, the walls of water rush back and drown the soldiers.
While this sounds like fantasy, an American research team at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University of Colorado at Boulder  has created a computer simulation model to show that given the right circumstances, it is possible that the waters did indeed part for Moses.

The computer simulations, part of a greater study on how wind affects water, have shown that with a strong east wind blowing overnight at a bend where a river merges with a lagoon, the waters would be pushed back, exposing a land bridge for a short time.

It is due to a phenomenon known as a "wind setdown" where a strong and persistent wind can push a body of water and "pile it up" downwind.

Carl Drew who led the study, says in a video that this phenomenon is well-known, but to re-enact the biblical story, "the tricky part is to get water on both sides of the crossing".

They found that at a point where a river bends to merge with a coastal lagoon, the water "splits at the point of the bend".
"So there's water on both sides and a bunch of refugees can come walking or running across," he said.
Such a place occurred in the ancient Eastern Nile Delta.

Mr Drews and CU oceanographer Weiqing Han analysed archaeological records, satellite measurements and maps and applied the data to ancient topography of an area of the Nile Delta which they believed provided both the right geographical conditions and a plausible site for the Bible story.

Mr Drews told news.com.au that he ran 14 simulation experiments. "They tested various configurations of the geography and the wind (direction and speed). The short answer is that the crossing has some tolerance to variations, but not a whole lot. It's a rare event."
They found that if the wind blows for 12 hours at 63 miles per hour (just over 101km/h) it would push back nearly two metres of deep water.
