Everything we thought we knew about our planetary
system is destined to change dramatically, according to at least one
scientist, regarding incoming photos from Pluto. Far from the tedious ice chunk anticipated by
some NASA personnel, the mighty bantam and still-evolving Pluto reveals
intriguing surface features, among them a gigantic mountain range suitable for
exploration by the widest-eyed of suicidal mountain climbers.
Too bad more of
these mind-changing scientists won't also alter their impression of the (gasp!)
UFO phenomenon, because even more fireworks have crept into that issue with
Col. Charles Halt's new assertion -- that is, Col. Charles Halt of the
Rendlesham Forest / RAF Bentwaters UFO event (1980) -- bringing radar evidence
into a very complicated mix.
The BBC reports
(July 13) that during a speech in
England a few days ago Halt claimed knowledge of statements obtained from radar
operators at RAF Bentwaters and Wattisham Airfield indicating that an unknown
object was tracked, as the infamous Rendlesham UFO encounter unfolded. This was a multiple witness experience, with
base security personnel involved along with Halt, and there are multiple accounts
of the affair all over the Internet for one's perusal.
From Halt's
presentation before a British audience on July 11, quoting the BBC report:
"I have
confirmation that (Bentwaters radar operators)... saw the object go across their 60
mile (96km) scope in two or three seconds, thousands of miles an hour, he came
back across their scope again, stopped near the water tower, they watched it and
observed it go into the forest where we were. . .At Wattisham, they picked up
what they called a 'bogie' and lost it near Rendlesham Forest. . .Whatever was
there was clearly under intelligent control."
As might be
expected, British military people involved with the Rendlesham affair wished
not to go "on the record" until retirement, and that's how these
stunning new revelations came to be.
Obviously, new witness corroboration regarding radar tracking should put
absurd "explanations" (such as witnesses mistaking a lighthouse for a
UFO) to bed forever. However (sigh. .
.), the debunkers and skeptics of opportunity will undoubtedly continue their
rant, because the only "truth" of consequence to them is their truth,
true or not.
President Obama
races along haphazardly, eager for a legacy of agenda at any cost: President Obama is dangerously wrong about a
deal with Iran. He expressed as an example of mutual cooperation that the
United States and Russia (as the Soviet Union) worked together to resolve a
conflict during John Kennedy's
administration. However,. Kennedy
was dealing, at least, with rational minds.
The Iranian government's ultimate decisions and operations, on the other
hand, are prescribed and carried out by the most radical of religious
fundamentalists, and in this case it is
absolutely and grievously true that there is no fanatic like a religious
fanatic. As a member of the Air
Force's medical service during Vietnam,
at a time when Iran was on friendly terms with the United States, I both
attended classes with Iranian civilians
at the USAF Medical Service School in Texas and later treated Iranian military
pilots at a clinic I operated at a pilot
training base in Georgia. This was a
time when Iranians dressed in Western attire and had an opportunity to at least experience some
degree of freedom. That's a far cry from
today, when the Iranian people are
captive to bullies, thugs and profoundly fanatical
"leaders." No, you can't trust
anything Iran's usurper leaders tell us -- but
I don't believe we will be able to verify the essentials, either. The President said nobody had offered a
viable alternative to the current
plan? Here's one: Keep the hammer on these thugs, deny them
their funds and continue current restrictions
until they crack. And yes, the
matter of four American hostages should have been addressed as part of
any negotiations. Iran's actions and
weaponry have murdered Americans and others as a matter of course -- and that
some actually believe a bureaucratic corral will both hold and eventually temper Iran's appetite
for exercising its extremist and violent ways reflects some nutty college
classroom theory carrying enormous consequences if failure ensues.
One would think,
by now, that members of the U.S. Congress and public would be outraged at this
president's tendency to threaten and warn us every time he wants something
accomplished, while he gushes and bows politely to the whims of other
countries. We so appear to border upon fascism in this country now, and one
just wishes this outlaw bunch -- soundly defeated during last year's elections,
but ignoring the results nonetheless -- could be grabbed by the scruff of their
necks, arrested, put on trial and convicted.
I rather did enjoy video of Obama's visit to a prison in Oklahoma, and
as he stood near a jail cell I was thinking, yeah, go for it, just a few steps
more, Mr. Prez, inch yourself right on in.
Probably lots of room for other White House perps, too. Keep dreaming.
Don't take your
eyes off HUD (Dept. of Housing and Urban Development) as
it stealthily plans to bring not only low income, but low-life housing to more
affluent neighborhoods in the name of fairness.
Rational minds here would assume that the failure of LBJ's "Great
Society" and other spectacularly failed Democrat-inspired programs have
caused this administration to further put its profound lack of success on the
backs of accomplished Americans, as if making those who actually earn a living
and accumulate wealth babysitters for the lesser of the less. Wow, how these White House criminals detest
capitalism and pretty much everything else about America which won't accept
their square pegs into round holes.
Fortunately, there is some movement in Congress, and we hope it grows,
to withhold funding from this devious and un-American project.
The Tennessee
Murders of four U.S. Marines:
We're saddened and angry as hell, and I believe we should pound Capitol
Hill with demands that ALL uniformed military personnel be allowed to pack
weapons for their safety and the safety of others at once. Thanks to the Bush administration, followed by enhancement via the military-hating Bill and
Hillary Clinton in the early nineties, this necessity was taken away from
service folk serving domestically. The
cops can't be everywhere, and American military
-- whose members occupy one of the last bastions of integrity -- need
this basic right immediately.
And thanks, Mr.
Obama, for helping foster an atmosphere of Islamic violence (which this latest
event almost surely was) and unrest within our own shores, and thanks for
giving all those Muslim Brotherhood folk jobs in your administration -- people
who would be imprisoned if this were Egypt, where MB members are considered
criminals for good reason.
Also, we wonder
if convicted multiple murderer Major. N. Hassan will get the magic needle of
death before the big O leaves office?
