Are Gang Members Using Military Training
07.29.07 (6:12 pm)   [edit]
I wrote about the dangers of Military recuriting gang members on 12.14.06. Titled "Military reduces standards for enrollment could pose a future problem." http://jesusisangry.tblog.com... Now, it becomes mainstream news. "We have enough problems with local kids and what they are doing," Lott, the Richland County Sheriff, said. "But to have the Marines – someone who is trained – to come up here and recruit and give them the training they've had in the military, it scares me to death cause it tells me we're at war with these gangs." It's a concern also raised by the FBI. In a recent report the agency warned: "Military training could ultimately result in more sophisticated and deadly gangs ... as well deadly assaults on law enforcement officers." http://www.cbsnews.com/storie... In a few years, America is going to messed up. Gang members with military training, can devastate local communities. If people think what happen to the docotor and his family in Connecticut was crazy. Wait till the gangs really implement military training, and tactics it's going to be a whole new world.
 
To leave or not to leave
07.26.07 (1:21 am)   [edit]
The debate is to have soliders in Iraq come home, or have them stay? The following is worst case senairo Well, if the soliders remain in Iraq some of the soliders will die fighting there. The conservatives believe that if the American is busy fighting in Iraq the terrorist won't attack America? Hmmm, seems as if the news is saying the terrorist is planning something this summer. Now, lets see, its been five years since the invasion of Iraq. The invasion was supposed to keep America safe. The terrorist had five years to develop and improve urban warfare tactics in the cities of Iraq. That means the terrorist can take there Iraqi urban warfare tactics and use them in America. What type of urban warfare tactics the terrorist have learned fighting in Iraq. Terrorist blow up key bridges in Iraq which disrupt commerce. The Terrorist have or is stilling trying to start a civil war. I got this idea from watching the "Sum Of All Fears." At then end of movie where the guy says Let America and Russia fight each other. Lets see, some terrorist come over to America blow up a few conservative churches. Conservatives blame the liberals for letting the terrorist blow up there churches. Terrorist blow up, Hollywood studios, liberals blame the conservatives for the Hollywood studios being blown up. The Terrorists take advantage of the recent emotional highs going in America. The extermeist conservatives go out and kill liberals, the extremist liberals go out and kill conservatives and what do have sectarian violence in America, and this tactic was developed in the Iraq war. It seems as America is becoming more like the extremist terrorist. Just listen to talk radio there is so much hate and anger directed towards each other. Eventually this hate and anger directed toward each other will grow to a point of eruption and the terrorist can use hate and anger to there advantage.
 
Still want to support the Iraq war?
07.20.07 (9:38 pm)   [edit]

After reading this letter, I wonder how many conservatives will still support the Iraq war? From an Angry Soldier ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ----- Date: 2007-04-10, 1:00PM PDT I'm having the worst damn week of my whole damn life so I'm going to write this while I'm pissed off enough to do it right. I am SICK of all this bullshit people are writing about the Iraq war. I am abso-fucking-lutely sick to death of it. What the fuck do most of you know about it? You watch it on TV and read the commentaries in the newspaper or Newsweek or whatever god damn yuppie news rag you subscribe to and think you're all such fucking experts that you can scream at each other like five year old about whether you're right or not. Let me tell you something: unless you've been there, you don't know a god damn thing about it. It you haven't been shot at in that fucking hell hole, SHUT THE FUCK UP! How do I dare say this to you moronic war supporters who are "Supporting our Troops" and waving the flag and all that happy horse shit? I'll tell you why. I'm a Marine and I served my tour in Iraq. My husband, also a Marine, served several. I left the service six months ago because I got pregnant while he was home on leave and three days ago I get a visit from two men in uniform who hand me a letter and tell me my husband died in that fucking festering sand-pit. He should have been home a month ago but they extended his tour and now he's coming home in a box. You fuckers and that god-damn lying sack of shit they call a president are the reason my husband will never see his baby and my kid will never meet his dad. And you know what the most fucked up thing about this Iraq shit is? They don't want us there. They're not happy we came and they want us out NOW. We fucked up their lives even worse than they already were and they're pissed off. We didn't help them and we're not helping them now. That's what our soldiers are dying for. Oh while I'm good and worked up, the government doesn't even have the decency to help out the soldiers whos lives they ruined. If you really believe the military and the government had no idea the veterans' hospitals were so fucked up, you are a god-damn retard. They don't care about us. We're disposable. We're numbers on a page and they'd rather forget we exist so they don't have to be reminded about the families and lives they ruined while they're sipping their cocktails at another fund raiser dinner. If they were really concerned about supporting the troops, they'd bring them home so their families wouldn't have to cry at a graveside and explain to their children why mommy or daddy isn't coming home. Because you can't explain it. We're not fighting for our country, we're not fighting for the good of Iraq's people, we're fighting for Bush's personal agenda. Patriotism my ass. You know what? My dad served in Vietnam and NOTHING HAS CHANGED. So I'm pissed. I'm beyond pissed. And I'm going to go to my husband funeral and recieve that flag and hang it up on the wall for my baby to see when he's older. But I'm not going to tell him that his father died for the stupidty of the American government. I'm going to tell him that his father was a hero and the best man I ever met and that he loved his country enough to die for it, because that's all true and nothing will be solved by telling my son that his father was sent to die by people who didn't care about him at all. Fuck you, war supporters, George W. Bush, and all the god damn mother fuckers who made the war possible. I hope you burn in hell.

Sometimes I wonder, if the former soliders will organize and a coup  d'etat will happen in America?  The soliders lose there VA benifets, becuase somehow they devolped a mental disorders before joining the military, I thought military screens people to make sure they have no mental problems before joining. 

This so called surge is not a surge, it is reinforcments and those reinforcements will stay there for years.  Becuase as long the as the Iraqi Army is dependent on the US Military for help, the Iraqi Army will never be able to stand on there own two feet against there enemy.  5 years into the war, the Iraqi Army has no heavy equipment, no tanks, and a few APCs, no artillery self propelled or towed, no airsupport.  All of the heavy epuipment is operated  by the US military.  This is by designed, the US government wants to keep the Iraqi Army as baby , and the America Military being the adult.  The baby can't serve with out the adult.  This why you always here the Americans can't leave yet, the Iraqis are properly trained. It's not properly trained, it also equiped with the heavy equipment. 

 
Metal detectors to prevent workplace violence
07.18.07 (2:37 pm)   [edit]
My job installed metal detectors, to get onto the property you have to pass through the metal detectors. The company says the metal detectors are there to prevent employees bringing guns or knives on to the property, the world has changed. What the company fails to realize is if an employee plans to bring a gun to work, the employee plans to use it. A metal detector will not deter a disgruntled employee. Apparnetly uppermangement thinks a metal detector will prevent work place violence. Upper management plan is all the employees have to pass through a single entrance to gain acess to property. But the property is encircled by a fence, if someone is going to secertly bring a gun onto the property all the employee has to do is throw the weapon over the fence line. The employee then has to pass through the metal detector walk to the fence line location where the weapon was thrown and retrive the weapon. There is always a second option if a disgruntled employee is going to shoot people or a person. The disgruntled employee can always be a sniper, learn the DC snipers and the Wyoming sniper. Around the company property is the airport, with all of the aircraft noise going on nearby, a disgruntled employee equipeed with 22 caliber long rifle can easily take a shot, and the odds of wittness hearing the gun shot is slim. Because of all jet engine noise going on. A jet engine decibel is 140 dB, 140 db can eaisly mask the shot from a 22 caliber long rifle, if the shooter takes the shot from the right position. Metal detectors to prevent workplace violence will not work, if you job is located in a industrail area next the airport.
 
My arm is bigger then my other arm
07.17.07 (12:28 am)   [edit]
Ever since I started my new job, for three months all I did was throw luggage around, women luggage is so heavy. What the hell do women put in the luggage? After three months of carry luggage Now, I my right arm is bigger then the left arm and the difference is 1 and 1/2 inchs. This is so messed up, now I have to wear shirts that have long sleeves. I have too spend another three months throwing luggage around with my left arm. So my arms will be proportionate.
 
Disposable friends
07.14.07 (9:34 pm)   [edit]
Since I got older, I noticed my friends from childhood have become disposable friends. I guess it's becuase all of have different goals. Some got married and others have children. The next time, we see each other will be at either a funeral or supermarket.
 
Top 5 Myths About America
07.05.07 (1:42 am)   [edit]
I found this on craiglist. MYTH 1: The US was founded on Christian principles. TRUTH: This is incorrect. The Constitution never once mentions a deity, because the Founding Fathers wanted to keep their new country "religion-neutral." Our Founding Fathers were an eclectic collection of Atheists, Deists, Christians, Freemasons and Agnostics. George Washington, the Father of our country, and John Adams (Second President of the USA) CLEARLY stated in the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli: "The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion.” G.W. rarely attended church and instead followed a popular 18th century philosophy called Deism—a Star Wars-esque philosophy that believed in a cosmic energy or big-ass universal "Force." The dictionary says that Deism is "a system of thought advocating natural religion based on human reason rather than revelation," that had nothing to do with Christian principles. James Madison, original mastermind of our Constitution, was an Atheist to the core who loved skewering Christianity. In 1785 he wrote, "What have been [Christianity’s] fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.” Thomas Jefferson, who sat down and authored The Declaration of Independence, rarely missed an opportunity to laugh at Christianity. In a letter to John Adams in 1823, he wrote: "The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus…will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." More ammo: In 1814, Tommy J. wrote about the Bible's Old and New Testaments, "The whole history of these books is so defective and doubtful -- evidence that parts have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds.” In fact, it was President Jefferson himself who first wrote (to a Baptist church group in 1802), "The First Amendment has erected a wall of separation between Church and State." Therefore, when Jefferson talked about “Nature’s God,” the “Creator” and “divine Providence ” in the Declaration that he wrote, he was being a hippie and referring to a general cosmic energy-- not the Christian God. America is not a Christian nation. Period. Our Constitution derived from the post-Christian Enlightenment values of reason and truth...never from the paranoid yammerings of that otherwise compassionate cult leader who fucking died in the Middle Eastern desert 3000 years ago. MYTH 2: US Conservatives tend to be patriotic, ethical Americans; liberals tend to hate America and are immoral. TRUTH: Liberals aren't the traitors to America. In fact, conservatives who insist on sending American troops into the Iraqi slaughterhouse to watch some blood-n'-guts "towelhead" ass-kickin' are the traitors. Most of them could care less about our troops, no more than Mao or Stalin cared about the safety of their own soldiers. In the neocons' view, these young boys and girls are expendable test dummies. They're dying for virtually nothing, so that the hicks in the Bush Admin can make good on their campaign promises to their buddies from the petroleum and infrastructure-rebuilding industries. By revving up the Arab threat, these MFs can scream "national security" and "freedom" as smokescreens, while getting their hands on a diminishing resource: Middle Eastern fossil fuels, which power everything from your lightbulbs and computer that you leave on all night, to your stupid gas-guzzler pickup truck. Pro-war conservatives are the traitors to America. With only 29% of the public approving of Bush's policies now, it took a full 5 years for America to finally wake up in bed next to this disgusting fact."The previous sentence is so true, all the conservatives who wanted war with Iraq now all of sudden change their mind.  What the fuck is wrong with you people? You wanted war five years agon, now some of you agree with the war was mistake no WMDS were found, the policy is'nt working so get the troops out.  So what those 3500 citizens died for nothing, five years ago you were all for war, five years later you don't war.  Someone's Father,Mother,Son,Daughte r,Brother,Sister,Grandson ,Granddaughter Died in a Iraq war you wanted, now you don't want a Iraq war." Who are the Flip Floppers. At the least the left, tried to delay the war and allow more WMDS inspectors to confrim that no WMDS existed.  But the Conservattives did'n t want to allow more time, they wanted war.  Few months after No WMDS were found in Iraq, the reason for invasion was to stop the rape the murder and torture of the Iraqi people being done by Saddam regime.  Well, Iraqis you believed US marketing now, rape, murder and torture under S addam has been replaced by under Bush, and some Americans still can't figure out why more Arabs hate Americans.  The Arabs remeber that speech by Bush ask them, go to Egypt and Jordan for summer vacation talk to Arabs,   Do liberals hate America? No, in fact they care so much about the USA that they fight so aggressively to make it better. They're not anti-American; they're just anti-stupidity. Do liberals hate American policies? Sometimes, but only the self-destructive ones that threaten human rights, liberty, democracy, justice, inquiry, excellence and reason-- the values that our country was founded upon. As for conservative moral superiority? Frauds. Think of the child-molesting priests, money-scamming televangelist preachers, Jack Abramoff's friends in the Bush Admin, gay-hating Jesus lovers, the Christians who beat up the professor who opposed intelligent design, human rights violators like Lynndie England and her Abu Ghraib hick officer pals, Tommy "Scandal-icious" ; Delay, Scooter "Leaky" Libby, the entire K Street Project meant to hire only Republicans, FEMA's Michael "Yer doin' a heckuva job" Brownie, and so on. Oh and by the way, conservative Red states have a divorce rate 27% higher than the liberal Blue states, the per capita rate of violent crime in Red states is 49 per 100,000 higher than in Blue states, the top 5 states with the highest rates of alcohol abuse are Red states, and the per capita rate of gonorrhea in Red states was 41 per 100,000 higher than in the Blue states. Time to unshelf the antibiotics for our "ethical," "God-fearing" conservative friends with their "traditional family values." MYTH 3. The US has a liberal media. TRUTH: This is a paranoid Republican myth. Reality check: the US media is a mix of liberal, centrist and conservative voices. Also, the US media is largely owned by 10 corporations who frequently push pro-conservative agendas to the American public. Evidence: 1. Even Republican Pat Buchanan confessed, "For heaven sakes, we kid about the liberal media, but every Republican on earth does that." Neo-conservative pundit Bill Kristol also said, "I admit it: the liberal media were never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures." 2. A 2005 study in the Quarterly Journal of Economics found that "coverage by public television and radio is conservative compared to the rest of the mainstream media." Why? Partly because only four major corporate networks control American TV news-- up to 75% of the audience share. The "Big 10" media conglomerates who control the bulk of the entire US media are: AOL Time Warner, Disney, General Electric, News Corporation, Viacom, Vivendi, Sony, Bertelsmann, AT&T and Liberty Media. Yes, we have National Public Radio, but compare its public reach to that of Canada's CBC and the United Kingdom's BBC. 3. Eighty percent of all US newspapers are owned by corporate chains. 4. Liberals are virtually non-existent on talk radio stations nationwide. Rush and Dr. Laura, eat your hearts out. 5. Conservatives are very well accomodated for across FOX News, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, the New York Post, the American Spectator, the Weekly Standard, the Drudge Report, the National Review, etc. Even so-called "bastions of liberalism," e.g. the NY Times, MSNBC, WashPost and NPR make a concerted effort to be "fair and balanced" by bringing in right-wing views like those of David Brooks, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Charles Krauthammer and Cokie Roberts to have their say in these forums, respectively. This is in stark contrast to FOX News' claims to unbiased objectivity, which were easily demolished by Robert Greenwald in 2004. 6. Contrary to what some paranoid Republicans claim, most journalists are centrists, not liberals. A representative sample of 141 US journalists and bureau chiefs were asked in 1998, "On social issues, how would you characterize your political orientation?" Answers: Left 30%, Center 57%, Right 9%, Other 5% . Next question, same sample: "On economic issues, how would you characterize your political orientation? " Answers: Left 11%, Center 64%, Right 19%, Other 5%. Also, look at the total number of think tank citations in major newspapers, radio and TV transcripts: Conservative TTs: 7792, Centrist TTs: 6361, Liberal TTs: 1152. 7. Eric Alterman summarizes a 1999 research study from the academic journal Communications Research: "Four scholars examined the use of the 'liberal media' argument and discovered a fourfold increase in the number of Americans telling pollsters that they discerned a liberal bias in their news. But a review of the media's actual ideological content, collected and coded over a twelve-year period, offered no corroboration whatever for this view." MYTH 4. The US doesn’t need improvement compared to other countries; it is the greatest country in the world. TRUTH: Wrong again. I'll only cite the statistics here. USA Ranking on Adult Literacy Scale: #9 (#1 Sweden and #2 Norway)- OECD USA Ranking on Healthcare Quality Index: #37 (#1 France and #2 Italy)- World Health Organization 2003 USA Ranking of Student Reading Ability: #12 (#1 Finland and #2 South Korea)- OECD PISA 2003 USA Ranking of Student Problem Solving Ability: #26 (#1 South Korea and #2 Finland)- OECD PISA 2003 USA Ranking on Student Mathematics Ability: # 24 (#1 Hong Kong and #2 Finland)- OECD PISA 2003 USA Ranking of Student Science Ability: #19 (#1 Finland and #2 Japan)- OECD PISA 2003 USA Ranking on Women's Rights Scale: #17 (#1 Sweden and #2 Norway)- World Economic Forum Report USA Position on Timeline of Gay Rights Progress: # 6 (1997) (#1 Sweden 1987 and #2 Norway 1993)- Vexen USA Ranking on Life Expectancy: #29 (#1 Japan and #2 Hong Kong)- UN Human Development Report 2005 USA Ranking on Journalistic Press Freedom Index: #32 (#1 Finland, Iceland, Norway and the Netherlands tied)- Reporters Without Borders 2005 USA Ranking on Political Corruption Index: #17 (#1 Iceland and #2 Finland)- Transparency International 2005 USA Ranking on Quality of Life Survey: #13 (#1 Ireland and #2 Switzerland)- The Economist Magazine ...Wikipedia "Celtic Tiger" if you still have your doubts. USA Ranking on Environmental Sustainability Index: #45 (#1 Finland and #2 Norway)- Yale University ESI 2005 USA Ranking on Overall Currency Strength: #3 (US Dollar) (#1 UK pound sterling and #2 European Union euro)- FTSE 2006....the dollar is now a liability, so many banks worldwide have planned to switch to euro USA Ranking on Infant Mortality Rate: #32 (#1 Sweden and #2 Finland)- Save the Children Report 2006 USA Ranking on Human Development Index (GDP, education, etc.): #10 (#1 Norway and #2 Iceland)- UN Human Development Report 2005 So much for those "socialist" Europeans and those "backward" Asians, hm? We can do better than this. Miscellany: *Only 18% of Americans own passports and bother to travel outside of the US. * 85% of US soldiers in Iraq believe that they are there to get revenge for 9/11. * New international student enrollment in US grad schools has decreased by 6%, because of xenophobic post-9/11 US visa restrictions, jacked-up tuition fees and better educational opportunities in the EU and Asia. So no, not everyone wants to come here anymore, because it's become a land of incredibly limited opportunity, and we've lowered our educational standards. MYTH 5: The US government loves to help other countries. TRUTH: This is a myth. The US government tends to be motivated by interests, not humanitarian principles. Denmark gives the most amount of its GDP (1.01%) to developing countries; Norway gives 0.91%; the Netherlands give 0.79% and so on until the end of list, where the USA sits. Yes, America ranks DEAD LAST in foreign aid at a pathetic 0.1% of its GDP, compared to the other 21 nations listed as developed nations. The idea that the US government is a heroic bunch that runs around the world helping the poor and the disempowered is not backed up by the evidence. We have one of the stingiest governments on earth. Most Americans believe the US spends 24% of its budget on aid to poor countries; the actual amount is well under a quarter of 1%. Our country also ranks #5 on asylum-seeker acceptance rates (#1 is Denmark and #2 is Canada). For you self-congratulatory, redneck-inspired conservative fuckwads who will start to say, "B-b-b-but you're anti-American! M-m-m-moonbat! G-g-g-god bless the USA!" I answer, "Go fuck yourself. We can do better." Stop blindly believing everything your president tells you. Come back to us only when you start realizing that the $400 billion your president has allocated to his Roman Empire-style military overstretch could be better spent on correcting the sociopolitical and economic problems in the arenas that I've listed above. For you liberal shit-heels who will start to say, "Yeah! Right on!" I answer, "Grow some fucking balls." That goes for women and the LGBT community too, and don't call me a sexist either: I'm more than comfortable with being a female, but I believe balls can be useful in situations like these. Instead, stop apologizing for being the "liberal elite," and start championing un-abashed excellence in everything, not mediocrity. Help your reps and senators take back Congress, and stop dithering while the political tides are turning in your favor right now. The conservatives are terrified now; TAKE advantage of that. And don't waste time trying to explain rational things to any homophobic Christians, or hyper-patriotic losers who wave and cheapen our American flag only for a self-esteem buzz, or those testosterone-filled, gullible, culturally-ignorant military recruiter robots who lack even a basic intelligence. THEY CANNOT BE REASONED WITH. They don't understand statistics, elaborate charts, legislative proposals or complicated scientific explanations. Just let them go. Let them go. In the meantime, stop being SHEEP and get up and do something before some bright and ambitious Chinese, Indian and the European students grow up to be international leaders and make your lazy, self-absorbed kids irrelevant on the world stage. If this is a reasonable manifesto, click "best of," upper right-hand corner. Athena
 
UFC "Stacked" Predictions.
07.04.07 (6:47 pm)   [edit]
I'm going to try and see if my predictions on the UFC "Stacked" Event are right. I want to try and continue making UFC event predictions. If my predicitions are correct, Vegas here I come, place some bets win some money. Silva VS Marquardt Im going againist the analysists I say Silva. All the anaylysists are saying Marquardt because they question Silva ground game. However, Silva is black belt in BJJ, Silva earned his black belt from the Nogueira brothers, if you a earn a black belt from those guys you have submission skills. Silva must be a sleeper on the ground game. Sherk Vs Franca I choose Franca, Sherk is strong, but Franca presses the fight you can neturlize strength with the press, all muscle requires lots of oxygen. If Franca does the basketball fullcourt press, and Sherk is not in shape, Sherk will fatigue with in the third round, allowing Franca to apply a submission. Ortiz VS Evans. I don't realy care about this two wrestlers, this fight is going to come down who has more heart. Nogueira vs Herring This is a third fight between these two. The first match in the UFC. The other two were in Pride where Nogueira won both. Nogueira will win via decision. Herring has had to much to study BJJ, Herring will be looking for the submission that Nogueira just throws out of no where. Florian VS Robinson Florian via strkes, Robinson is good wrestler with decent BJJ skills, Florian is a BJJ black belt. Robinson is going to overcommit once he takes down Florian, that is going to be the mistake Florian needs to sweep or submit Robinson.
