Ever since claimed "American Diplomat" Raymond Allen Davis tried to get nuclear materials into the hands of CIA/Al-Qaeda Pakistan -I have been worried.
But these incidents and the drone attacks (should have ended) are propaganda that media can use to stir-up a populace to War. I don't think a war with India, but a war amongst themselves like CIA/Al-Qaeda vs the Populace of Libya. The attacks/control of the oil fields (assets) usually come first then an attack on the fiat banking system, then political sanctions.

If congress does nothing (goes home for a year or two) and lets the tax cuts expire you will have a balanced budget
Federal Reserve is standing on over 1 Trillion in reserve. (enough to balance the budget) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-brown/qe2-shocker-the-whole-600_b_892621.html
Congress controls the purse strings -not the President. Even though Dictator Obama thinks he can do whatever he wants (War in Libya etc) -that is not the Law and it is not Constitutional.
You have a criminal Lib Gov that is spending beyond its' means and has been doing that for sometime. If they do not stop this no one will be debting American dollars anymore and people will move to Gold/Silver or another currency like a Swiss Franc.
People need to ask themselves: Do we really need all the (hands in the pants) TSA and all these FEMA camps. Threat Fusion centers? All this military build-up and bases. 100,000's of military contractor/mercenaries like BlackWater

An old CRT made well can last 20+ years. The older plasma screens only lasted 30,000-100,000 hrs (many already in the trash). People get caught into this stuff and end up upgrading every year or two just like a Microsoft Windows addict.
=Buy quality $$ and expect the product to last. Enforce the guarantees that a company provides you.
Will a cheap $300 12Mpix camera give you a better picture than your old 5Mpix that cost $1000 (now worth $100-200 used) and actually had quality glass lenses in it. I still look for the made in Japan label.

More centering needs to be focused on radiation detection (detect when people are sick from radiation) and radiation long-term care. Eventually other areas in Japan will have DRs/nurses with training in these fields because the effected population moves (and many already have).
Posted in: Returning hospitals to their original state will only re-create the lack of doctors that existed even before the great quake and many hospitals would collapse at the same time. It is indispensable to create a new medical network.

I saw a brand new Ford eXtend-A-van on I70 in the middle of Missouri today -so they still make it.
This E350 is actually a truck chassis with a fiberglass transport body on back. Not really the same vehicle and also used extensively for small RVs.
Up high, long, with a flexy suspension is never good. A van is like an aluminum can when in a accident and I'm sure fiberglass is even worse. You think you are safe in these big boxes, but they really fall apart in accidents where as a curved piece of metal will hold together better.

I don't think Ford even makes the 5 bench seat extend-a-van anymore (NHTSA 1999 stat end). The closest thing to one now is the Dodge/Mercedes stretch van (dually optional).
=This is a Ford F350 Truck chassis with a fiberglass body added. =Looks like a small school bus. There is no way you could get adult tourists to hop the rear 2 bench seats (made for kids) in a extend-a-van.

We must all be watchful of CIA/Al-Qaida ---> these terrorists could be in your country just like in Libya.
And be careful of Libs changing their FaceBook page to Christian -while they are in jail. What about the second gunman in that incident? And police asking the gunman by name to surrender while he is shooting people.

It seems the adults are confused here. -but obviously this is the real Santa Claus on a out-of-season mission. The kids can obviously tell because he is bearing gifts unlike the typical rent-a-Claus. (If you pull on the beard -you can see it is real.)
Kids need to set adults straight on this.

a DOT driving day is defined as 11hrs driving max in a 14hr workday. 10hr break min with 8hrs of continous sleep. -they are contending he got less than the 8hrs sleep. --> but that rule is not a strict mandate.
This van is most likely a "dually" with the top cut out and fiberglass added for extended headroom -a sort of standard for these guys. Very stable and you will see airport/handicap shuttles and schools use them.
People that have mercury/amalgam fillings or have metals in their system will fatigue easier, -smoking does not help. You need to eat a fresh vegetable diet to provide the constant energy needed for long days of work. Those 8hr energy shots (see a truck stops) are not a good idea long term but water or a sugar drink while driving is. These tour operators stop every 2-3 hrs anyway for breaks. If he was fatigued he could have easily took a break.

as an anti-globalist you are better off not joining the Lib/Globalist trend. If you want to be a slave and not have any rights like most Chinese I would join it, but in the end you will 99% end up as a slave. =Libs do not understand this and do not understand why their teaching job was cut when they supported/taught the Lib agenda.
=Muslims are not the problem, but are presented as the problem. Forcing immigrants on the populace large scale made them the problem.
Japan is behind USA/EU on this mostly because the culture keeps most out. Do not be surprised if Japan has a banker crisis (high debt ratio) and devalues the currency though. -This will hurt an elderly population on a fixed income very much and people with fiat savings will lose most of it. =Tough(er) times are ahead and I would convert some of your fiat to physical gold/silver that will not be devalued thru fiat inflation.

Los Zetas trained on US military bases, is funded by the CIA, and had the ATF run guns down to Mexico for them.
The biggest criminal cartel is the Federal Reserve system and all their financial terrorist bank owners (JP Morgan/Chase, CitiGroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo+) that offshore (steal) the populaces money and pay little to no taxes.
$16 Trillion (Fed Audit) was taken from the American Populace and given to the financial terrorists. With little going to the American people.
It is absolutely disgusting to see the Libs support these financial terrorists/Globalists while people are literally starving and/or losing monetary value thru inflation or stealing (offshoring, derivatives, blatant theft). The IMF takeovers of sovereign nations is also a concern.

When you have great hair -everything is just easy it seems. Koizumi never missed a photo-op and always looked good. Koizumi would have made sure the Women's World Cup Champions got the attention they deserve and always made time.
Now you have the Royal Family taking up the slack with this Tsunami/Radiation disaster. -And that is nice.
Since Koizumi is gone people have not picked-up the slack. Some have but not everyone, so you have disfunction and uncertainty. Koizumi probably put in 18-20hr days everyday and was a role model for others.

The CBR250r is assembled in Thailand and at $4000 is one of the more popular bikes this year. Some of the components and many of the machines to make the parts come from Japan. Ninja 250r has been very popular and is also not made in Japan.
It is a price balance and will always be. I like the idea of making a motorcycle in the Philippines because these people can really use the jobs.

You can get a small keychain Geiger Counter for <$200 (NukAlert etc).
Any plants from the Northern HemiSphere will have higher radiation levels due to the Fukushima incident. -You may want to buy foods packaged before the Fukushima incident. =Foods even from California will have high radiation levels from this.
=You can't really escape this radiation except move to the southern hemisphere. I would look into taking Zeolite longterm to protect yourself from these random particles. Go out of your way to buy fresh produce that is far away from the affected area. Grow your own.
Posted in: Beef, milk, tea, spinach and other vegetables have been contaminated due to the Fukushima nuclear crisis. How much worse do you think this is going to get? For example, do you think rice will be affected?

Riding a bike is cooler than taking the subway, but a bike needs to be parked somewhere. Always got a kick out of the kids you see with those roller-shoes (a walking shoe that also skates).
Seen those electric skateboards also.

I just bought a $500 electric scooter that should go 27mph tops and has a 20 mile+ range (cost about $.05-.10 to charge) Wanted something that could be compacted and a suitcase bike was a little too goofy.
Looking at a Horst-Link bike (Turner, Specialized) also or older titanium like Merlin, LiteSpeed, Clark-Kent, Xizang.
=Gas is expensive so more people are riding bikes or walking (this is the trend). Please be careful and make sure your eyes are able to see these people and do not drive impaired. It will become even more dangerous in the fall/winter darkness.

When Kobayashi was forced to drop the mustard belt to Chestnut due to injury everyone knew this would eventually be a future battle. But with Kobayashi locked out of competition it leaves the ifoce spectators with a doggy taste in mouth.
Heads Up PPV !! Chestnut vs Kobayashi for mustard belt and future of ifoce. =Kobayashi must call Chestnut out and get this battle over once and for all. Kobayashi will put his eating career on the line (retirement if he loses) and if he wins =retribution +mustard belt comes to Japan for 1yr until Nathan's famous battle. No more politics -a true winner must be found thru battle.
