September 2013 Breaking News Mounting evidence suggests Israeli strike on Iran approaching Say Hello to World War III, Obama Just Signed another Executive Order President Barack Hussein Obama AKA Barry Soetoro AKA Barry the Rat, the south side Chicago back alley socialist insurgent pimp, just signed another Executive Order. You know, President Obama, who isn’t a Zionist puppet, who will not follow orders from Tel Aviv, who doesn’t really like those Jews all that much anyways. Say hello to the Executive Order from the President regarding Authorizing the Implementation of Certain Sanctions Set Forth in the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Additional Sanctions with respect to Iran New sanctions fall under Iran Threat Reduction Act of 2012New sanctions close loopholes on the existing sanctions against IranAdds penalties for those companies who aid Iran’s business sectors.Punishes parent companies of subsidiaries that violate sanctions. So, in other words, the Israeli Zionists have ordered that Iran be cut off from the world and the bank accounts of anyone who violates this dictate seized. Does it make sense?
Putting it together: the modular car With the 10^5 Competition, MIT's Vehicle Design Summit (VDS) will leverage distributed innovation to build a better car. In August 2012, ASKlabs produced a microdocumentary about the MIT Vehicle Design Summit, an MIT Edgerton Center-supported team, featuring co-founders Anna Jaffe (Environmental Science MIT '06) and Nii Armar (Aeronautics and Astronautics, MIT '08); Robyn Allen (Aerospace Engineering, MIT '07), a third co-founder, was not filmed. Founded in 2006, with the goals of reducing waste in auto manufacturing and reducing global carbon emissions from vehicles, this dynamic MIT student group has grown to become an international design and engineering collective.

Nuclear Deal With Iran Prelude to War, Not "Breakthrough" Tony CartalucciActivist Post "...any military operation against Iran will likely be very unpopular around the world and require the proper international context—both to ensure the logistical support the operation would require and to minimize the blowback from it. The best way to minimize international opprobrium and maximize support (however, grudging or covert) is to strike only when there is a widespread conviction that the Iranians were given but then rejected a superb offer—one so good that only a regime determined to acquire nuclear weapons and acquire them for the wrong reasons would turn it down. Written years ago, as the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel were already plotting to overrun Iran's neighbor and ally Syria with Al Qaeda to weaken the Islamic Republic before inevitable war, this quote exposes fully the current charade that is the "Iran nuclear deal."

Plan for hunting terrorists signals U.S. intends to keep adding names to kill lists Although the matrix is a work in progress, the effort to create it reflects a reality setting in among the nation’s counterterrorism ranks: The United States’ conventional wars are winding down, but the government expects to continue adding names to kill or capture lists for years. Among senior Obama administration officials, there is a broad consensus that such operations are likely to be extended at least another decade. Given the way al-Qaeda continues to metastasize, some officials said no clear end is in sight. “We can’t possibly kill everyone who wants to harm us,” a senior administration official said. That timeline suggests that the United States has reached only the midpoint of what was once known as the global war on terrorism. Meanwhile, a significant milestone looms: The number of militants and civilians killed in the drone campaign over the past 10 years will soon exceed 3,000 by certain estimates, surpassing the number of people al-Qaeda killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.
TreeHugger © James Lawrence Powell (with permission) Is There Still a Scientific Consensus on Global Warming? Back in 2005 (which is a loooong time ago in Internet time), Naomi Oreskes published a famous paper in Science titled "Beyond the Ivory Tower: The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change". It's a meta-study that looked at 928 scientific papers between 1993 and 2003 and concluded that, despite what the media often implied, there was a very strong consensus among scientists about climate change, with none of the papers disagreeing with consensus position. Fast-forward to the present, and James Lawrence Powell has done a similar meta-study, but including a lot more peer-reviewed papers (thousands have been published since 2003). What did he find? The pie chart above is a good visual representation of the very strong scientific consensus. And if corroborated over time, such a paper would probably deserve a Nobel prize...

Terminator Robots to Take Over the Battlefield by 2023? Nicholas WestActivist Post The U.S. military's pursuit of killer robots continues to make the news, despite the concerns of major international human rights groups who have launched a campaign to stop the runaway development of robots for war. Cambridge University has even launched a "Terminator" study program known officially as the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. Nevertheless, the military-industrial complex and their partners in the Congressional "drone caucus" are reaping big profits from machine warfare. However, studies done within the military have revealed that there has been an emotional connection established, with some soldiers even mourning robots that have been "killed" in action. Not only will soldiers be outnumbered -- they will be massively outnumbered ... by a factor of 10 to 1 according to robotic weapons expert, Scott Hartley: ten years from now, there will probably be one soldier for every 10 robots. Daksh – Daksh is one of the most current military robots.
National Defense Authorization Act (NDDA) – US Senate wants the entire USA to be a "battleground" Apparently you are missing the point. Nothing in the previous statement is racist. Speaking the truth of the way the country has acted is racist? Here’s a fact. Ohio State University’s Dental school, one of the largest in the nation, has over 1700 applicants each class and only 315 seats. So now we are making people doctors not because of their talents but because of their race. Now when referring to Jamie’s ”come together with limited government” post. How is this relevant to the aforementioned ”racism” which is the farthest thing from racism I have ever seen. Again, minority groups have fought hard in the 2000′s to get many things. These are the reasons why we aren’t united.
While the World Watches the Iran Talks, Japan and China Move Closer to War Chris CarringtonActivist Post A small group of uninhabited islands, the Senkaku Islands if you are Japanese, the Diaoyu Islands if you are Chinese, are causing major friction between the countries. China has created a new ‘air defense identification zone’ over the disputed waters around the islands. The islands are claimed and controlled by Japan and Japan purchased three of the islands from a private citizen who owned them in September 2012. China, though, still claims the islands are in their territorial waters. Taiwan has also laid claim to the small island chain and has declared that it would “defend its sovereignty of the archipelago”. The air defense zone came into effect on Saturday and China is insisting that all aircraft passing through the zone must: “maintain two-way radio communications” and “respond in a timely and accurate manner” to identification inquiries, China’s Defence Ministry said. So why all the fuss? Read more…
New World War: Home Page China-Japan Spat Could Lead to World War III Chris CarringtonActivist Post As the row over the rocks that are claimed by not only Japan and China, but South Korea and Taiwan continue, a former UN Ambassador has warned that any conflict in the region could quickly become global. Former Chinese Ambassador Sha Zukang said in a report in The China Times: If China started a war with Japan, it would be much larger than both the Sino-Japanese War and World War II, said Sha. The United States and Japan should cooperate with China to maintain regional peace. In the last few days Japan has set up its own air defense zone, and that has spurred South Korea to do the same. A report by political and economic analyst Ambrose Evans-Prichard states: Beijing’s implicit threat to shoot down any aircraft that fails to adhere to its new air control zone in the East China Sea is a watershed moment for the world. Japan’s foreign minister, Fumio Kishida, accused China of “profoundly dangerous acts that unilaterally change the status quo”.
» Obama and Netanyahu to Discuss Attacks Inside Syria Alex Jones Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com March 18, 2013 According to the establishment media, Obama will resist Israeli pressure to immediately attack Iran in response to its imaginary nuclear weapons program. Last week, during an Israeli Channel 2 news interview, Obama said Iran will be capable of producing a nuclear weapon in a year and hinted action against the undocumented program will come within a year. Instead of concentrating on Iran during Obama’s visit scheduled for Wednesday, the United States and Israel will settle on a common goal – escalating the war in Syria and doubling up the effort to take out the al-Assad government and replace it with a government more amendable to Israel and the United States. A “Buffer Zone” Pretext Israel is considering a full-scale offense inside Syria in order to establish a “buffer zone,” a prospect we suggested on March 7 after a shadowy terrorist group kidnapped United Nations peacekeepers near the Israeli annexed Golan Heights. A New War in Lebanon Affirmative.
US Hawks Want War on Iran Stephen LendmanActivist Post Neocons infest Washington. Norman Podhoretz is one many loathsome examples. On December 11, he headlined a Wall Street Journal op-ed "Strike Iran Now to Avert Disaster Later." No respectable editors would touch this trash. Podhoretz isn't America's only lunatic hawk. "Is the Bush Administration merely going to slink out of office with that legacy," it asked? "The Iranians aren't likely to stop unless the US starts doing something about it," it claimed. In 2008, then presidential candidate John McCain advocated bombing Iran. Then presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton was just as abhorrent. I want the Iranians to know that if I'm president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. Iranophobe Dick Cheney wants war on Iran. Podhoretz met privately with Bush when he was president. You have an awesome responsibility to prevent another holocaust.
