StormWarning’s Counterterrorism

No doubt the conspiracy theorists will claim that the “hell demon” that floated ashore at Montauk Point on L.I. is the product of the Dept. of Agriculture lab at Plum Island (well, DHS Lab), but that’s bull! Its a chupacabra. Must have gotten caught in the current.

The close proximity of the Plum Island facility and the site of the Montauk Monster’s discovery had fueled speculation that the Monster of Montauk is property of the USDA and may have been an experiment gone wrong or a byproduct of improper disposal.

Meadow muffins!

Its a freakin’ Chupacabra! While the NY’er science community tries to figure out what it is, and while the anti-NBAF conspiracists try to prove that it is some type of mutation caused by the Plum Island facility research, and still others claim that the photo was photoshopped, all they need to do is ask a Texan about the Chupacabra. Go prove that it isn’t!

One of my previous posts, Who Mourns Our Fallen Soldiers, prompted a comment from someone whose voice needs to be heard. His message and story is worth reading. Clearly, while agreeing with some of what I write, he did express a disagreement with parts of this particular post (see my explanation below). Here is the comment, converted into a well-deserved place on this blog as a single post.

From a Soldier writing from a dot mil email address:

I realize this post may never be read, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am a US Army Reservist presently attached to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division headquartered at FOB Iskan, just across the Euphrates River from Jurf as Sahkr, Iraq. Jurf as Sahkr, or “Jurf” to those of us who patrol the area on a daily basis, was one of the last AQI strongholds in Anbar Province. This area was only recently “awakened” by the Coalition Forces. I’ve been here for months now, doing the dirty work of convincing the locals that we are right and AQI is bad and so on, but my primary concern was to locate the remains of our MIA Soldiers. For the past year, we never gave up on those Soldiers. We conducted leaflet drops from Blackhawk helicopters, blared messages of support to them (although we were quite certain they had been murdered) and messages to the enemy that we would not rest until they were found. I can assure you that the every measure to locate those brave men was taken (within the boundaries of the Law of Warfare, of course). Although I can not tell you how we collected the information that led to the recovery of these men’s remains, I can tell you that it was most certainly not a “message” from AQI. AQI heard our “message” in Jurf as Sahkr, and it was usually delivered with precision guided missiles and 25mm machine-gun spitting hell’s fire from a Bradley Fighting Vehicle. These days, violence in Jurf has fallen to the lowest level since 2003. We are discovering enormous weapons caches that the fleeing AQI cowards could not take with them and uncovering DBIEDs (Deep-Buried IED) that have laid dormant for years. We are rebuilding schools, medical clinics, and local governance centers. Since the recovery of SGT Jimenez and PFC Fouty, the Government of Iraq and Coalition Forces have opened up their wallets to the good people of Jurf and the level cooperation with and gratuity for the Soldiers of the Iraqi and American military is overwhelming. Keep in mind that most of the residents of rural areas, where AQI dominated every aspect of life, fled their homes to avoid those murderous bastards and returned to find leveled homes and slaughtered livestock (both common tactics, techniques, and procedures of AQI members prior to their departure). These people came out to the hasty burial site of our Soldiers because what we found was not just the remains of our Fallen, but those of some 60 locals who stood up to AQI and were executed en masse.

I appreciate the forum and look forward to reading more of your informative and entertaining posts!
Sincerely,
Matt

My comment: There is some technology still in development, and perhaps soon to be (or maybe not), that might have assisted in the search and rescue early on. Who knows?

Normally, I don’t quote such a “laudable” news source as the WorldNet Daily, but in this exceptional case, they have admitted that the conspiratorial NAU is a “dead dream.” Now is the time for all of those who sprung into action to stop something that never was, to step up and admit they had chased a demon of a different color.

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America is dead, says Robert A. Pastor, the American University professor who for more than a decade has been a major proponent of building a North American Community.

Whether or not the SPP is dead or not is still in question. Mutual cooperation between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico is a desireable, if not currently advisable goal. However, it is the truth, now, as it has been before, for all of the “heavy lifters” to come to their senses (these are the people who insisted that North American Union was going to happen, that U.S. sovereignty was going to be obliterated by the Council for Foreign Relations, or that the “plan” was designed to enable free transit across our already porous border with Mexico) to own up to the reality that they were wrong!

“The April summit meeting was probably the last hurrah for the SPP,” Pastor wrote, referring to the fourth annual SPP meeting held in April in New Orleans.

According to Pastor, bureaucracy has prevented to attainment of this “dream.”

PULEEZ! The White Paper published by the Council for Foreign Relations was a “think-piece.” It wasn’t a statement of policy, hidden or otherwise. Unfortunately, some people took it as a given (question: did they know what a “think-piece” is?).

Stormwarning - speaking…well, #!@&!^Q(*.

Using a spectrometer, Rice Univ. professor W.J. Llope has tested 25 commercially available types of granite from Houston-area dealers. He found countertops that could expose homeowners to 100 millirems of radiation in just a few months — the annual exposure limit set by the Department of Energy for visitors to nuclear labs.

While the typical response from the industry group representing the purveyors of granite kitchen countertops (Marble Industry of America) was that it was junk science. Dr. Llope’s information on this subject can be found here. His CV is here.

However, the Environmental Protection Agency has released a statement indicating that the granite countertops are safe.

For now, I’ll be happy with my upgraded formica, or maybe some Sylstone. But here’s a reassuring thought.

Jim Martinez, spokesman for the Marble Institute of America, said his group is putting together a board of experts to come up with a procedure for testing radiation levels in granite.

“We want to establish scientific standards and protocol that would allow consistent testing in a logical way,” he said.

Somehow, I just don’t think that this guy is as crazy as the Marble Institute of America wants to make him out to be. Certainly not with this list of publications.

Before anyone goes off “half cocked” about this post, make it clear in your mind that I believe that Obama is dangerous to the future of America and to the GWOT. I am simply tired as piss that people waste their time spreading falsies instead of focusing on the shortcomings of the man. Aside from any of the really good reasons to ensure that John McCain is our next President, even if for only one term…like the fact that I don’t think Obama has a clue about the GWOT and related issues, I saw this in an email tonight…

Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to ‘The War Zone’. I wanted to share with you what happened.

He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.

As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell(pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.

So really he was just here to make a showing for the American’s back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.

I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheer leaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don’t understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.

If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

In service,
CPT Jeffrey S. Porter
Battle Captain
TF Wasatch
American Soldier

There is one very serious problem here.

According to SNOPES, its FALSE!!! So spread the rumors aorund more and more. The more you do that, the more likely people will stop believing anything that is said or written about the reasons why Obama should never become President…like the boy who cried wolf.

Obama, Snopes

Once again the utter brilliance of conservative talk radio has struck a chord of ignorance when Michael Savage pronounced that autism “…is an overdiagnosed medical condition. In my readings, there is no definitive medical diagnosis for autism.” His readings? He’s an(other) conservative self-proclaimed authority on a social and medical situation that plagues 1 of every 500 births (some estimates higher) in the United States.

When Michael Savage, radio talk show host, said July 16 that 99% of children with autism were “brats” who should be told to “cut the act out,” one could only wonder if he somehow got his childhood “A” disease diagnoses mixed up. Maybe he was thinking of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. ADHD affects 2 million children and can be treated with behavior modification or drugs, but for many decades, children with the disorder were considered to be just bad kids who misbehaved, and poor parenting was pointed to as the cause.

What an insensitive asshole! This “man’s” insensitivity to a tragic childhood disease is beyond comprehension. Autism is real. And yet this idiot has the audacity to defend his statements. Further, if you read the meanness of this guy’s comments, it makes you wonder why Don Imus was fired for making a racial joke and this baboon gets away with minimizing the illness of thousands of people. It is clear who the putz is.

“In 99% of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out. That’s what autism is,” Savage said last week in remarks that lit up the internet over the weekend.

“They don’t have a father around to tell them, ‘Don’t act like a moron. You’ll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz.”

This man’s insensitivity and arrogance warrant his being fired.

autism, Michael Savage is a putz

There are so many reasons to defeat Obama that don’t include the “BOH is a Muslim” or “his father is a Muslim.” The varying degrees of whether we win or lose in Iraq, or whether Afghanistan deserves more attention thatn we’ve given it aside, Obama hasn’t got a clue about foreign policy, and has a losing “strategy” in the overall GWOT.

The future of the Global War on Terror is at stake. Defeat Obama for the reasons of bankrupt policy and extreme total lack of experience…not for any ill-conceived thoughts of his heritage.

While often quoting articles of interest, this blog offers my points of view and no one else’s. Thus, unlike politicians who sometimes distance themselves from aides who display poor judgment in their acts or words, I have no one to blame for my opinions. I do not publish other peoples’ work here.

So, here is the question. When aggregating articles and information on one’s blog, are you responsible for the content, the accuracy and opinion, or, by the simple virtue denying ownership, are you then devoid of any such responsibility?

Despite a number of attempts, there is no accepted “blogging code of conduct” or “bloggers’ bible” by which to guide us. But here are two attempts:

A Bloggers’ Code of Ethics
10 Rules for Responsible Blogging
Draft Blogger’s Code of Conduct

Note that in “A Bloggers’ Code of Ethics” it refers to the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists.

On my other venue, my work is edited for content and accuracy, as well as literacy and form. We don’t quote other people’s work unless we know who they are, and respect their attribution. As I wrote a few days ago (or was it weeks already?), I disavow nothing or no one here, but could I disavow someone else’s opinions if I allowed them space to publish their views here? I think not. Personally, I believe that as in any other form of “journalism” (giving blogging alot of credit), there is a responsibility of being accurate. Similarly, I believe that there is a responsibility to accept the heat and the kudos if you publish someone else’s words. Certainly, if you present yourself as an authority or as a resource of information and commentary, then this responsibility exists.

Satire is tricky and very misunderstood, if understood at all. Thusly, “I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled…”

When Jonathan Swift wrote this as part of his “A Modest Proposal, 1729″ many people took him seriously. Even then, the true meaning or intent of satire was misunderstood or went very far over the heads of the general population. It still does. Leonard Pitts Jr. has it exactly right!

So, as absurd, as over the top, as utterly outlandish as the New Yorker image strikes the more sophisticated among us, there is a large fringe out there for whom it will represent nothing more or less than the sum of their fears.

Instead of the meek inheriting the Earth, however, it is the ignorant who have overtaken America. They have always been there. Its just that the Internet has given them their voice of equality. Thus, when I recently wrote, Pandering to the Least Common Denominator it fell on relatively deaf ears.

The overly simplistic outlooks expressed by “the many” who see our victory vs al Qaeda in Iraq in a vacuum, without noting the “ebb and flow” of a morphing terrorism reveals an implausible blindness to the realities of the GWOT. While celebrating the handover of more provinces in Iraq to the post-Provisional government, lost is the view that al Qaeda and the like see none of the West’s boundaries pencil drawn on maps.

Yes, even as MSNBC declares that al Qaeda is less relevant to the outcome in Iraq, stating that while they haven’t been eliminated entirely, they are less of a threat, what of related areas of conflict, and what happens after the surge? And yes, as you will read in Amy Proctor’s article, Kuwait has opened diplomatic relations with Iraq. Yes, that is significant. And still, I have that nagging “yeah, but” feeling.

Even as it is noted that insurgents in Iraq are “giving up the fight,” the reports of al Qaeda redeploying their forces to Afghanistan, reopening that front in the GWOT, and worse, importing foreign fighters from Turkey, Central Asia, Chechnya and the Middle East, we cannot consider the victory in the now relative skirmish in Iraq to be a sign that we can allow our guard to go down. In fact, with the fresh influx of al Qaeda/Taliban troops to Afghanistan, I fear that we shall once again turn our attention to the once “won” war in Afghanistan.

There are at least two issues which are ignored by those who believe that victory in Iraq is more significant than it is…victory in Iraq which I believe can truly only be declared after the post-Provisional government there is stable and is able to not only provide security, but also reliable services to their people, cannot be determined in simple terms of turning over control to the Iraqis, or even by troop withdrawals by the U.S. The first, is the continuing instability in the north of Iraq where the Turks and Kurds continue to battle. Even without al Qaeda in Iraq, the region remains dangerously unstable.

The second, and probably more significant, issue is that al Qaeda is not a government, or maybe even not an organization. It is a system, and a very adaptable one at that. So, as with the ebb and flow of the sands on an ocean beach, moving ever so slowly with the tides, shifting from one place to the next, often seeing a particular beach grow by ten yards, while two others shrink in size, al Qaeda, a system and methodology of terrorism based on the jihad, continues to morph. Thus, the influence of foreign fighters must be considered.

The Small Wars Journal posted an interesting “interim” report titled, “Beyond Iraq and Afghanistan.”

The data demonstrates that Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen produce the most foreign fighters per Muslim, each averaging from four to eight times as many fighters as the average rate for the twenty countries analyzed. The second tier of foreign fighter producers consists of Kuwait, Syria, Tunisia, and Jordan. While all second tier countries produced less than half as many fighters as the top tier producers, they still produced more than the twenty-country average.

In the Long War Journal, Bill Roggio discusses that the attack at the Nuristan base on July 13th in Afghniastan was a complicated operation in which 200-500 Taliban took over an adjacent village before attacking. Here is a long but key quote:

The assault on the Wanat outpost was conducted by an alliance of extremist groups operating in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to reports. A senior Afghan defense official told Al Jazeera that “various anti-government factions including Taliban, al-Qaeda and the Hezb-i-Islami faction were involved” in the strike.

Tamim Nuristani, who served as governor of Nuristan before President Hamid Karzai relieve him of his post for criticizing a US airstrike that is thought to have killed Afghan civilians, said Taliban and Pakistani groups banded together for the attack. “The (attackers) were not only from Nuristan but from other districts,” Nuristani said.

“They are not only Taliban. They were (Pakistan-based) Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hezb-i-Islami, Taliban and those people who are dissatisfied with the (Karzai) government after these recent incidents,” Nuristani said, intimating the attack was revenge for the US airstrike. “They all came together for this one.”

And then Roggio discusses the mounting of U.S. troops on the border with Pakistan, returing fire of the Taliban fighters. Another quote, discussing the border:

Tensions along the ill-defined, rugged border have escalated since the Pakistani government initiated its latest round of peace accords with the Taliban and allied extremists in the tribal areas and settled districts in the Northwest Frontier Province.

Some people’s mistaken belief that the defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq is more than a minor victory in the much longer war against Islamic extremism is naive in my opinion. Further, to not see the defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq as much more than pushing the bully to another part of the playground is a dangerous outlook.

It must not be forgotten that al Qaeda will morph and shift and change as is required to adapt in the various skirmishes. Doug Farah discussed “The Morphing War Against Al Qaeda in Iraq” last February.

The point is that, while there seems to be little doubt that the al Qaeda-linked groups in Iraq are hurt, the next iteration of the groups may make them even harder to get at.

Perhaps celebrate the “victory” in Iraq (when it is actually time to do so). But do not try to convince me, or others who know more than I, that the defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq will do nothing much more than shift their attention and their resources to other fields of battle that are softer and more vulnerable.

It is clear (at least to me) that the Presidential election brings out the worst in American commentary, especially since the Internet expanded to the blogosphere where people feel it is OK to flame others, write things that are offensive, and then carry that crude behavior to real life. A Florida “free speecher” may well win the prize. He has put up billboards with the phrase, “Please don’t vote for a Democrat.” Well, that is his right, is it not? He crosses the line of decency and shows the inanity of his thoughts, by having those words next to a picture of the smoldering World Trade Center Towers.

The true essence of this offensive example of our right of expression is that Mike Meehan is actually using this shock value of the billboards to promote his musical CD by directing people to a URL where “The Republican Song” plays. While he asks, “What type of President will we have,” my question is what type of electorate do we have, and have we forevermore fallen from grace and now wallow in the mud of the Internet?

Note also that while I cannot prove it, when I downloaded and posted the picture of the billboard from the CNN website article on this story, my computer was infected by malware, the Antivirus2009

XPOnlineScanner9.com is a fake security web-site that promotes rogue anti-spyware software called Antivirus 2009. The software installs itself, without consent, on the user’s computers and registry.

Unless of course, it is a means of preventing people from downloading pictures from various URLs.

The once respected New Yorker Magazine, known mostly for its arts and entertainment focus (read their headers: “Reporting 7 Essays,” “Arts & Culture,” “Humor,” “Fiction & Poetry,” “The Talk of the Town”), has fallen prey to misdirected humor/satire, and pandered to the lowest common denominator with its cover on its July 21st edition. The editors defend themselves by saying that they were satirizing the use of scare tactics etc. to derail Obama’s candidacy. Unfortunately, there are people, like one whose comment I read, that believe that “its a message from G-d…He is doing what He can to stop Obama…hopefully people will listen.” Indeed! That is the most ridiculous load of poppycock I have read so far…unfortunately (and very sadly), there are people in that lowest common denominator who will accept that as fact…many of those don’t even know what satire is, or wouldn’t recognize it if it hit them in the head!

The Obama campaign, as well as the campaign of Republican rival John McCain, slammed the cover as offensive:

“The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama’s right-wing critics have tried to create,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement, reported by Politico. “But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree.”

“We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it’s tasteless and offensive,” McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement.

From Alternet: The Bad Frame: Why Are the New Yorker, Salon and Other Liberal Media Doing the Right’s Dirty Work? This week’s New Yorker cover image of the Obamas is shocking in the racism and gross stereotyping that is built into its supposed satire.

Are we being too sensitive? From Editor and Publisher we have this:

On Howard Kurtz’s CNN media program today, Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune called it “quite within the normal realms of journalism,” adding that “it’s just lampooning all the crazy ignorance out there.”

From Fox News we have this: Obama Campaign Calls New Yorker Magazine Cover “Tasteless and Offensive”

The inimitable Power Line blog seems to believe that Obama and McCain are being too sensitive.

Another journalist, Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune defended it as “quite within the normal realms of journalism,” adding that “it’s just lampooning all the crazy ignorance out there.”

WAKE UP! The least common denominator in this country does not know what satire is, probably never read Jonathan Swift, and will see this cartoon as validation of their misguided prejudices. In fact, I’d bet that most of the people who comment about the cover of the New Yorker, never opened a copy of it to read any articles, and will not read the article in this edition to understand the satire (if they are capable of understaning), that the cover is a lampoon. I’m simply astounded…or maybe, its just too early in the morning (6:30am). But ask this question. If Joseph Lieberamn was running for President and there had been rumors of his being a money lender or some other stereotype, would it be acceptable to show a steroetypical Jewish man with peyes and a long nose doling out pennies?

No! dear readers. The New Yorker will not be read by the least common denominator of America…certainly not for the newstand price of $4.50. But the supposedly satirical cartoon on its cover depicting the Obamas as Muslims and terrorists will be spoken about in every tavern and other establishment where least common denominators live. And any suggesting that the New Yorker did this in an attempt to get people to blame “racist Republicans” is fodder only for the Rush Limbaugh audiences today and after who will revel in his droolingly derisive slime talk about how its the “Dems” who are racist. At best, this is another example of of the media, in this case, the New Yorker, clearly not understanding the Internet and the blogosphere.

Like it or not, ignorance, bigotry (I know I wrote bogotry but actually meant to coin a word, “blogotry“) and hatred run rampant in this country, and it isn’t Democrats or Liberals, Republicans or Conservatives…its the least common denominator. And that is my opinion, or my name isn’t StormWarning (oh, %#@!^*&&!…its not!). And yes, I am talking down to the least common denominator.

Recently, I’ve been called to as a “liberal” for having certain opinions; I’ve been referred to as a “liberal Jew” because I didn’t believe that Israel should (or could) expel its Arab Israeli citizens, and now, astoundingly, I will most certainly be called worse for strenuously objecting to the concept of expelling or registering all American citizens who are Muslims…even those who are my friends.

It has been nearly three years since I started writing here. Yes, blogging has finally gotten to me. Some of the things that I read on other blogs are far too outrageous and ludicrous, even when veiled as “opinion” or “crossposting.” What has appeared on these pages and over a thousand posts have been my opinions, supported by facts, and always backed by my integrity and honesty. Disavowals of words on a blog are not possible, nor are they honest (these words are very telling - they are not mine: “I completely agree and support the material set forth in this particular article. We have found a kindred spirit my friends.”).

Time is too short and too valuable. Time is too short and the issues too big to waste effort on bigotry and blindness, when that will not solve the problems that we all face. The simplistic approach to solving this War on Terrorism will not work. It will simply and decisively not work. Avowing any simplistic approach to the solving of the issues at hand reveals a simplistic outlook on those issues. We are all endowed with the right to an opinion, however distasteful that opinion might be to me. Have a happy life, be good to others, do the right thing. And most of all, leave the hatred at the door.

Bob Dylan’s “Blowing in the Wind” was an anthem of my college years, Today, however, no less than T. Boone Pickens has concluded, that in fact, the answer is blowing in the wind. Alterative, renewable energy…all from natural air currents. Of course, environmentalists object to the large propeller towers because birds that fly into them, don’t fly out. The fact that some people do not believe that the plan will work, the Pickens Plan is to unlock the country from dependence on foreign oil by harnessing wind power.

“Sometimes it takes a crisis to awaken us from our slumber,” … “But once aroused, the American people can accomplish miracles”

With $58 million of his own fortune, Pickens plans to build the world’s largest wind farm in West Texas. There are plenty of detractors. The question is whether anyone is capable of proving Pickens wrong.

However, I continue to wonder why so many people object to exploration of renewable energy to unshackle at least part of our oil dependency. And if that is the case, why we wouldn’t also be serious about exploring the enormous power and energy generated by the waves in the oceans of the world.

Maybe unnoticed by some, within the last 24 hours the remains of Army Sergeant Alex Jimenez and Private Byron Fouty, the two Army men kidnapped last May, were found and ID’d. Their fathers mourn.

Fouty’s stepfather, Gordon Dibler of Oxford, Michigan: he’s “still in shock” but the news comes as a “very sad relief” and that his thoughts are with the “other men and women who are still doing their job over there.” Sergeant Jimenez’s father says the news “shattered all hope”

But do we mourn as a Nation for these men, kidnapped by al Qaeda, or is a Defense Dept. press release sufficient? I wonder what ops conditions allow men to be kidnapped from the battlefield. I wonder what it means that they were never sought or found or rescued.

al Qaeda, Fouty, Jimenez
