A few questions

>A federal appeals court in Colorado on Monday refused to strike down a lower court order sealing records in the 1999 Columbine shootings for 20 years, The Denver Post reported.

Why would these records be sealed?

How did the two perps get all their hardware delivered? They had to have outside help.

Wasn't one of their parents involved in psychological warfare? Harris' father was a long-time USAF officer stationed @ Plattsburg -- mind-control experimentation rumored there.

Wasn't one of the shooters that killed Congressman Leo Ryan back in 1978 the son of a military psych officer, also?

Why do cops just wait outside during events like this? To ensure the largest possible kill? If one person had a concealed weapon, as opposed to the de facto criminal-friendly "gun-free" zone we see... well, do your own math.

Events like Columbine make my conspiracy senses tingle. Two "lone nuts" or something larger?

Original article: While you were out

Nightmarish bloatware for the DoD?

>a new plan for electronic medical records that would follow soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines from active duty into retirement. The idea is to cut down on backlogs in care that can leave some veterans waiting months to see doctors.

Why does this sound like a bunch of blue-suited corporate types smiling and drooling over how much they'll bill to implement a bloated, patched, non-user-friendly monster pig of a solution that everyone will hate and which will not work very well?

Welcome back, President 'Bama. Did you bring any real change home for us all? Waiting to see it, Sir. Can't happen soon enough.

Not recognizing a pattern yet?

Why was the military in heavy denial about "friendly fire" deaths and completely out in fantasyland when it comes to soldier-on-soldier sex crimes and murders (aka "suicides")?

IMHO the military mindset is such that if it doesn't fit into the brainwashing/established reality, IT DOESN'T EXIST.

You're stressed out, son? What are you, some kind of pussy? Can't take it? You're not real man.

WTF are we doing in Iraq? Stealing their oil? Be honest. Why is the US military supposed to accomplish? Restore the country they destroyed?

Why does the Army misdiagnose PTSD? Because it's a culture of untruths and illusion. They can lie to you and believe the lie. Besides, PTSD or other treatments would COST MONEY which DOES NOT MAKE arms manufacturers richer. Therefore it is NOT NECESSARY.

I support the future Senator Al

And have contributed money to his campaign. At the same time, I fully expect "them" to Wellstone him. Small plane crash, one-car accident, sudden unexpected heart attack... the usual routes. I'd be happy to be wrong in this instance. But I hope that Franken has his life insurance in order.

Original article: Will Israel attack Iran?

Cut off the flow of money and arms

Israel is an outlaw state and fully deserves to be treated as such.

Iran has broken NO law by pursuing nuclear POWER. Which means ~4% enrichment of uranium -- a far different matter than Israel's nuclear ARSENAL requiring 97% enrichment.

Israel has never signed the nonproliferation treaty. Israel does not allow inspections of its secret nuclear facilities at Dimona. Because of these facts, Israel, with its secret nuclear WEAPONS program, is, by law, prohibited from receiving ANY aid from the US -- just like North Korea!

Of course, laws don't apply to Israel. They're MAGIC. They're CHOSEN. They deserve to have any and all funding cut off and cut off permanently. Enjoy the ride!

@help4mac -- Entebbe was staged

Not that Israel would conduct itself to mold world opinion...

Original article: Will Israel attack Iran?

How would Russia react to an Israeli attack on Iran?

Iran is a major trading partner with Russia. I don't know of any treaties in place between those two countries that I can name, but I presume such treaties would be in place -- what kind of spark would our Very Good Friends be providing by attacking Iran?

Congratulations to Obama, Holder, Pelosi et al

By "keeping impeachment off the table" and by fully funding each and every request for funding for illegal wars, Pelosi completely supported Bush the Lesser. Now Obama and Holder have set an even more sinister stage than Gerald Ford left by choosing to not prosecute obvious, hideous wrongdoing.

Thanks for nothing. The rule of law is a joke. If Viet Nam and the semi-secret Central American warfare of the 1980s weren't bad enough, then secret prisons and uncharged people WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11 really drove the final nail in our coffin.

Our formerly great country. Keep that image of the poor soul at Abu Graib the next time the Sheeple all join together to wail "Land of the freeeeeeee home of the braaaaaave" at some sporting event.

A boot stomping on a human face... forever.

Screw the banks, have the Treasury Department absorb the Federal Reserve

It can't happen soon enough. The Federal Reserve is and has always been a scam of MASSIVE proportions -- utterly criminal. If you want to fix the economy, get rid of the Fed and get rid of fiat currency. Observe the nations who have taken these steps, ridding themselves of a private central bank and basing their currency on gold instead of air.

Where are the public executions for those responsible for the banking disaster?

16 out of 19 sounds conservative

"Crazed anti-Semite." As if there could be any other kind of anti-Semite.

I can't believe there are three banks that passed the stress test.

So what?

http://www.simcoxforsenate.com/ looks like it's a 1:1 exchange as far as intellect goes. McCain could stand a little pasture time IMHO.

Change we can believe in

It's gotta be like realizing you've got a mouthful of sour milk, that horrible realization... change we can believe in, huh?

It certainly resembles more of the same to me. The insane bail out continues under Obama -- theft, pure and simple. Did he do more than rename illegal detainees and/or torture? Are we still illegally occupying Iraq? Afghanistan? How's the economy? Will printing so much more money backed by air help at all? History suggests that it will not.

Change we can believe in. There really is one born every minute.
