He Should Have Kept His Mouth Shut

But no, the White House opened it wide and condemned the killing of the Iranian Nuclear scientist.

Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum was right. Zippy should have zipped it.

Big Big Big Mistake

Strength Through Appeasement… Obama to Share US Missile Secrets With Russia

Will someone in D.C. please look up the definition of treason in the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary now?

UPDATE: Forcing Smart Meters Upon Us

It started in California, this year. About a month ago, when some customers removed their Smart Meter and replaced it with an analog by a liscensed professional electrician. So, this was done properly in accordance with technical requirements, in other words, money was spent to have a professional do the job right. This isn’t about getting electricity without paying for it.

Wendy Sarsfield, a representative from the public utility PG&E, kept insisting that saftey was the main issue for which power was not restored to the homeowners. Upon hearing this, Board Member after Board Member seemed to come up with a viable, workable solution, but it was always unacceptable to the PG&E Rep. After several minutes where the PG&E Rep began sounding like a broken record while refusing to come to any reasonable solution about restoring power to people’s homes (One of which was just to add people to the delay list and reinstall an analog meter until the California Public Utilites Commission-CPUC- finished creating an opt out program), one Board Member cut to the chase……

Get ready, new home construction is expected to have these installed as a matter of course. But when they come after your existing home to “upgrade” your meter – what are you going to do?

Read that whole updated article at GatewayPundit and watch the entire video to see the play-by-play (around 5 minute mark) by everyone and the PG&E representative.

Do you really want the power company to turn off your A/C during the summer and heat during the winter? Because that, and the fact that there are not new power generation plants planned for construction, is what they intend to solve their problem of providing enough energy for everyone’s consumption.

UPDATE: In British Columbia (Canada), it appears their smart meters will track power usage against specific devices by category. How about that. Forget about privacy – even in your own home, government – local or otherwise – intrudes deeper into your lives.

Cyber Attack Wakeup Call

Probably. Possibly. That is, according to an Illinois security threat report November 10, 2011. Read the article on this here.

This should be taken very seriously, considering the results to the Iranian nuclear centrifuges by way of the Stuxnet virus plant.

The report, which Weiss read to The Washington Post, describes how a series of minor glitches with a water pump gradually escalated to the point where the pump motor was being turned on and off frequently. It soon burned out, according to the report.

Versus

The [Stuxnet] worm itself now appears to have included two major components. One was designed to send Iran’s nuclear centrifuges spinning wildly out of control. Another seems right out of the movies: The computer program also secretly recorded what normal operations at the nuclear plant looked like, then played those readings back to plant operators, like a pre-recorded security tape in a bank heist, so that it would appear that everything was operating normally while the centrifuges were actually tearing themselves apart.

Sound familiar?

Our government has a very seerious responsibility to protect its citizens from all kinds of threats, including this kind. But, I ask, how do you feel about that lately?

IRAN Has Nuclear Capability

We were warned, by President G.W. Bush and his intelligence agency.

But both Hillary Clinton, the smartest woman, and then Senator Barak Obama, the smartest man, both dismissed those intelligence reports and our then President George W. Bush.

And now? Don Surber shows us the 2007 news item telling us of those two aforementioned yokels not paying attention and todays Washington Post describing help to Iran from Russia, Pakistan and North Korea …. well, here. Read the rest at Don Surber’s post on the subject.

As for Clinton and Obama, not just monumental incompetence (as Don describes it) but, as I describe it – these two did their dirt for – just as Iran’s foreign minister said it – “100 percent political” purposes.

They should lose thier jobs permanently. Forever. Neveer to return again. Because the results of thier efforts has resulted in a much more dangerous Middle East along with the rest of the world.

Hillary? Barak? I hope you two can live with yourselves.

Energy Costs to Skyrocket 2014

Marylanders, didn’t our electric rates go up 72% not too long ago?

Now, how about another 40 to 60% by 2014 when EPA regulations make coal fired energy plants a lot more expensive to operate?

Has anyone screamed “Uncle” yet?

UPDATED: Perpetrating Fraud Times Three

This article, published today 3/7/11, describes what I wouldn’t call “political payback” – but the father does.

Imagine yourself running for office, losing to an incumbent, making an announcement to run again – and having your three college students targeted for expulsion despite their excellent grades and attitudes.

Read it and pass this story around. Better yet, contact the college and let them know what you think of their supposed fraudulent activities in this case. (Might there be a Board of Regents to bring this matter to their attention? Hhhmm?)

UPDATE: The response from the college. And a poll/forum should anyone care to partake of them.

There are outside opinions on whether this story is true and/or accurate. Frankly, there may be no way for those of us on the outside looking in to tell 100%. There ought to be an independent investigation to determine if such students are being manipulated such as this.

But on the chance this is essentially true, it bears putting this in front of you. The rest is up to you.

And then there’s this.

WMD Found in US?

Watch the video of an interview in San Diego of a Customs Official.

Then, make up your own mind just how safe our ports are.

Don’t START With Me

Oh, but he did. POTUS decided to tell us we had to deal with nuclear issues with the Russians – and it had to be done now.

Have we been punked? By Russians? Or our own POTUS?

The State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) plans to confirm the link between the reduction of the strategic offensive arms and the restriction of antimissile defense systems’ deployment in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), signed between the US and Russia, Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the Duma Committee on International Affairs says.

UPDATE: Nuclear Winter

Can you believe it’s – now?

Senate GOP leaders take heat over millions of dollars in earmarks

Thune and Cornyn faced a barrage of hostile questions about their earmarks by reporters from NPR, ABC News and NBC News.

“Going through this bill, there is earmark after earmark from the both of you, millions of dollars in earmarks from the two of you and from other senators,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl told Cornyn and Thune. “How do you have any credibility on this? Why do you have earmarks?”

And slowing the vote by reading the entire START treaty (heh):

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Wednesday blasted Republican opposition to the New START nuclear arms treaty, calling it a “new low in putting political stunts ahead of our national security.”

Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) call to read the entire treaty on the Senate floor in an effort to delay the ratification was described by Gibbs as “the height of hypocrisy.”

“While some express concern that the Senate doesn’t have time to debate the treaty, Sen. DeMint wants to waste 12 hours to read the text of a treaty that has been available to every member of the Senate and the public for more than eight months,” Gibbs said.

UPDATE: Sen. Jim DeMint backs down from reading the START Treaty document ….. man up, Jim.
