I’m no expert on how international joint investigations and on the ground war crimes investigations go logistically, but something seems suspicious about Israel offering to investigate whether or not they used illegal white phosphorous bombs during their accidental attack on U.N headquarters in their widely criticized offensive.

From: The Mystery of Oswald's Contacts with the CIA in Mexico A small group of senior CIA officers may have been running an authorized counterintelligence operation involving Lee Harvey Oswald six weeks before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. That's the controversial but conditional conclusion I reached while writing the biography of CIA spymaster Winston Scott, the agency's top man in Mexico for more than a decade. Our Man in Mexico, argues that if there was an Oswald operation, Scott, a brash and brilliant spy, was not a participant. The CIA has never acknowledged the existence of such an operation, if there was one. Many historians will deny it. But the new JFK paper trail is clear: some of Scott's CIA associates knew much more than they ever dis

It happens from time to time, a man driving a tank lets his vim and vigor get the best of him. In this case, which took place in Russia where both tanks and vodka are plentiful, an allegedly drunk tank driver smashed into a cinderblock house while on a vodka-and-snack run.
"A drunk tank driver destroyed my house," said the victim, who went on to point out a more tragic coincidence: that the army never helped him buy a house when he was in the service, and now army dudes have destroyed the house he managed to build on his own.
Of course, all of this is just crazy talk: "The driver was absolutely sober, because he was going to military exercises," says a military spokesman. Judge for yourself in the video below.

Here's something to ponder considering the recent story about the CIA destroying interrogation tapes of al Qaeda suspects. Here is what Gerald Posner who wrote a book called Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11 offers:You might also recall that in my 2003 NYT bestseller (reached #2), Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11, my last chapter was titled, "The Interrogation." Based on two active US intelligence sources, I was the first to disclose Zubaydah's interrogation. To date, I am the only reporter to have printed the info about what happened to him. Zubaydah, wounded when he was captured in Pakistan, was fooled in a fake flag operation to believe that the Saudis held him. Instead of being afraid of the ‘Saudis,’ he demanded to talk to three Saudi princes (one, the nephew of the King, who happened to be in the U.S. on 9/11). He gave his interrogators the private cell phone numbers of all 3. He did the same regarding the chief of Pakistan's air force. Aft

How many books do we have? Till you are counting the amount of books, I will guide you to the history and origin of books. As Wikipedia explains “A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. The word comes from old English.”Before taking the current form, it is worth mentioning that writing systems were invented in ancient civilization. The materials, books were created by, might have been of stone, clay, tree bark, metal sheets.The largest extant medieval manuscript in the world is Codex Gigas 92 × 50 × 22 cm. But books can be as tiny as 2x2 cm. Though today it is possible to place books in one tiny rectangular shaped, so called PC that is space efficient, comfortable, and infinite.The idea of creating digitalized library that might have been freely available online comes from 2002 after Reddy’s team scanned 1,000 books.Universal Library , the projec
MADRID, Spain (AP) -- An explosion destroyed a real estate office Thursday in Spain's northwest Galicia region but no one was hurt, officials said.The pre-dawn blast occurred in the town of Cangas. Police said it had been set deliberately but the explosion did not appear to be the work of the Basque separatist group ETA.The site of the blast is about 100 meters from the town hall in Cangas. It destroyed a real estate office in the ground floor of a building and also caused damage to nearby buildings, the Interior Ministry office in the regional capital A Coruna said.Bomb disposal experts from the police cordoned off the site as they searched for traces of the explosive.
Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina, a Republican, is clearly on the defensive and dodging suspicion after a fire that destroyed his Houston home was declared arson:
The district attorney won’t comment on whether Medina is a suspect in the June fire that destroyed his $309,000 home. But Medina’s attorney denies he had involvement, pointing out the Medina’s had let their homeowners insurance policy lapse, meaning losses from the fire weren’t covered.
“If you burn down your house intentionally, you would make sure you would profit from it financially or cover any damages you would incur,” attorney Terry W. Yates said.
Medina, 49, and his wife, Francisca, have testified before a grand jury, which is deciding whether charges will be filed in the case.
Authorities last month disclosed that the fire was set intentionally, and also some troubling aspect’s of Medina’s financial history that included an attempt to foreclose on their home beca

Officials in Tennessee raided a bunch of warehouses in connection with potential robberies occuring at the nearby Jack Daniels distillery. They found thousands of bottles of JD, many of them vintage, over 100 years old. According to a police spokesperson, if it turns out that these bottles were involved in a theft, and were indeed being sold illegally, they will be destroyed.
The value of the liquor, especially considering its vintage, is estimated at around $1 million. One bottle alone dates to 1914, with an unbroken seal, bringing its worth to around $10,000! But fuck that! We know what the real tragedy here is. It’s pure, golden, baby-making, shout-inducing wife-swapping JACK DANIELS!! You can’t just pour it out!! This is much more of a crime than the entrepeneur that liberated the bottles from the distillery. For God sake, Chuck Norris brushes his teeth with Jack Daniels, that way he doesn’t have to spit!!

Far-right politicians in the European Parliament will lose tens of thousands of euros to promote their ideas because their political group collapsed when five Romanian MEPs quit. The Identity, Sovereignty and Tradition group disbanded after ten months because the number of its members had fallen under 20, the minimum needed to form a political group, the EU legislature said.The ITS included Jean-Marie Le Pen of France and Alessandra Mussolini, the granddaughter of the Italian wartime Fascist dictator. The seeds of the group’s collapse were sown last week when she insulted the Romanian people, a Romanian ITS member said.The Greater Romania Party (PRM) said that her insults came in comments about the expulsion of dozens of Romanians from Italy after a Romanian Gypsy was arrested last week over the murder of the wife of an Italian naval officer. Ms Mussolini was reported to have said: “Breaking the law has become a way of life for Romanians.” The demise of the grouping was welcomed
Our blog is about bringing peace and love, and we always believe in the joy that love can bring into relationships. But as we all know, life is never a smooth ride and nobody is ever perfect. Without question, there would be bumpy roads awaiting you when you are in love with someone, and among these bumpy roads, the most challenging one would be when you are left with no choice but to let go of him or her.Breaking up is hard to do. But when you love someone, you would want nothing else but to see him or her happy, and if he or she is happy being released, you would have to do it no matter how heavy your heart is. It is actually not because he or she detests you, but it is most probably because both of you are going in different frequencies, and he or she just feels better off when you set him or her free.When you are stuck in this situation, you know you have to get out of it someday. It is a painful process, but it would be pointless to dwell over it knowing that it is never going to
A controversial subject has been the destruction of liquid vitamins in the presence of stomach acid. Nutraceutical supporters claim the simplified composition of a liquid vitamin leaves the vital nutrients susceptible to damage from strong stomach acid.
Our digestive system is an amazing nutrient processing machine which is far more sophisticated than just a catch container filled with hydrochloric acid and enzymes. There are a plethora of events that take place during digestion. Some examples of isolated nutrient digestion and absorption can be helpful in determining whether vitamins and minerals are destroyed during digestion.
A large majority of vitamin supplements contain Ascorbic Acid; more commonly recognized as vitamin C. What happens to ascorbic acid when it comes in contact with digestive acids and enzymes?
Ascorbic acid resembles a monosaccharide. Its molecular structure is made up of a five member, unsaturated lactone ring with two hydroxyl groups. These molecular com
Well, we all know that Paul Newman is not HUD... Well, he was HUD in the movie. But this is about our US HUD. Will HUD destroy the Down Payment Assistent programs without waiting to see if our legistrator will turn down the bill (FHA Modernization bill)? HUD seems to feel it has that kind of power to just go ahead and not wait for the vote. At least this is the anticipation. The big question is: What will be HUD final rule on the down payment assistance (DPA) -- we know that HUD wants to eliminate all forms of "seller-funded" DPA programs. If HUD does make that final rule against the DPAs it will and should be challenged in order to protect homeownership opportunities for low-and-moderate-income (LMI) homebuyers and your ability to serve them. This annoucement is expected sometime this week.Its amazing how on one hand the President announce a "plan" that singles out a section of the foreclosure meltdown to help with the
Amazing. Between Harris Scarfe and Myer they probably take up half of the main city block in Hobart and now both have suffered from major fires. Harris Scarfe was lucky that theirs was contained within the electrical switchboard, although they still had to shut for a week whilst the damage was repaired. Now Myer has caught fire and been completely destroyed. Yep, completely destroyed. The roof has collapsed and the floors have collapsed in on them selves. Unlucky me happened to be on call this weekend and I had no idea it was happening. I was pulling my hair out trying to work out why most of the major Government sites in the CBD were going off the air. Turns out Aurora were turning the power off to parts of the city as necessary to support the fire fighters. Most of the major Government sites have UPS (battery backup) power so it was weird as sites would die, then come back, whilst others would be fine only to die again later as the batteries ran out. It all means lots of recall mone
Can someone please explain to me the fascination with Al Gore? The man has no credentials in the scientific field, he almost failed all of his classes while in school, and the majority of the statements he has made about Global Warming/ Climate Change has been refuted by reputable scientists.Moreover, every week we find new evidence demonstrating why the climate change hysteria is nothing to worry about. Not only is it nothing new to the Planet, humans are not contributing to the single degree increase in temperature over the last 100 years. Looking at the data, it is absurd to think humans can stop climate change by living in straw huts. But, Al Gore suggests we all do just that. This is not a joke – read his book that accompanied the, “Live Earth Tour.”Then to add to this nonsense, Al Gore claims to believe that the World is going to end within the next fifty years unless we all sacrifice and cut our carbon emissions. So instead of leading by example, Al Gore emits more C
Fox News story link Report: Israeli Jets Destroyed Syrian Nuke Cache It was just after midnight when the 69th Squadron of Israeli F-15Is crossed the Syrian coast-line. On the ground, Syrias formidable air defences went dead. An audacious raid on a Syrian target 50 miles from the Iraqi border was under way.At a rendezvous point on the ground, a Shaldag air force commando team was waiting to direct their laser beams at the target for the approaching jets. The team had arrived a day earlier, taking up position near a large underground depot. Soon the bunkers were in flames.Ten days after the jets reached home, their mission was the focus of intense speculation this weekend amid claims that Israel believed it had destroyed a cache of nuclear materials from North Korea.The Israeli government was not saying. The security sources and IDF [Israeli Defence Forces] soldiers are demonstrating unusual courage, said Ehud Olmert, the prime minister. We naturally cannot always show the publ
A labrador retriever was bitten by a 12-year-old boy running loose around the Broken County Fairgrounds Sunday, according to Police Chief Jim Kingston.Police were called after the incident sent the retriever to Lakeview Pet Hospital in Niles. The dog sustained several injuries to his front legs and one ear was pulled longer than the other.The vet talked with Officer Mike Lundgren and told him that the child should be immediately located and tested for rabies. Otherwise the dog was going to have to be put on a series of painful shots and medications that were by no means, according to Dr. Jerry Affe, “a walk in the park.” Police then scoped the neighborhood until they spotted the boy swinging in the park near the school. The child was then humanely put down with two bullets between the eyes.“It’s unforgivable to let your children run loose,” said Chief Kingston. “Not only is it inconsiderate but it’s also against the law,” he added, citing a Village resolution passed las
I’m coming back with another font review, and don’t be so surprised since this post is closely related to my previous font review: 6 Free Graffiti, Grunge, and Destroyed Fonts.
I think I’m addicted to dig any kind of font that looks ruin apart, dirty and destroyed ;)

Today, the editor of Reason magazine, Nick Gillespie, wrote in the L.A. Times an interesting editorial. He argues that after numerous moral scandals from supposed social conservatives, the Republicans and Conservatives themselves are losing the Culture war because of hypocrisy. While they push family and moral values in the public arena, many of them do not live up to their own standards, thereby losing trust among the people. Consequently, he argues that Conservatives and Republicans should divert to the principles of limited government preached so adamantly by Barry Goldwater; I could not agree more.“To Goldwater, the state was inefficient at best and predicated on violence and coercion at worst. As much as possible, he argued, individuals should be left alone to pursue their happiness as they saw fit, whether in the workplace or the home.” (source) It is important to recognize that Government on its face is simply inefficient at promoting moral values for society. While Gov
