Michael Ledeen at PJ Media points out "...the Pyongyang-Beijing-Moscow-Tehran-Damascus-Havana-Caracas etc Axis of Evil is hell-bent to dominate and destroy us. Now the evidence is so clear that only a willfully blind man could fail to see it."
The only question I have: are the progressive Leftists willfully blind or are they on the other side? If the latter, do they not understand that there will come a moment when the Axis of Evil stands them against the wall?
A great read from a master.

No, not blind at all. Our enemy is his friend, at least for now.

Yes.
And quite honestly, the only thing that truly matters to the modern western Left is that they die last.

Does the expression "rumors of wars" ring a bell with anyone?

Remember Ridley Scott's Aliens? Leftists would gladly help them to destroy the entire humankind, themselves included, just for the pealsure of destroying America.
Leftists are not good intentioned idiots. They are evil. As simple as that. And the sonner you assume this idea, the sooner you, conservatives, will revert conservatism's long defeat at leftist hands.

There is another group that may big the biggest of all. Not blind, not on the other side.
The attitude I see in my millenial children and their friends is a fatal insouciance. Their blithe nonchalance is Alfred E Newman's "What me worry?" writ large.
Unless something impacts adversley on their personal comfort in the very short term, they just can't be bothered.
[DAWN] THE only certainty one can be sure of, they say, is change. And even as we look into an uncertain future, we can see some key trends. Then we look at the forces that are driving those trends and slowly a pattern begins to emerge. These visions make the future look less hazy. Here's some of what we see:
Pakistain is facing a long war and this is not a war that will produce a victor and a vanquished anytime soon.
Pakistain is fighting a creed. This war is not so much with the Taliban as much as against the Talibanisation of our society -- the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) representing only the extreme end in that spectrum.

[DAWN] THE Islamic world's power dynamics are undergoing possibly the most seismic shift in a generation. The House of Saud's dominance over global Moslem politics, an enduring, if calamitous, reality, appears to be abating.
A divergence of interests between the Kingdom and other regional players has been gaining currency. Much has changed in the Moslem world since the public rift between Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and its perceived patron, the US, over the issue of nuclear engagement with Iran.

This question isn't in the news, it's just something I'm wondering about.
Is there anything suspicious about the "All right. Good night." comment from the co-pilot? I am ignorant of these things, but it doesn't sound like something a pilot would say. Ever. Shouldn't there be a call-sign involved? Perhaps it was a comment from another person on the same frequency? Perhaps it was an earlier recording of the copilot, maybe talking to his wife on his cellphone, taken by the pilot and played back for the purpose of confusing an investigation?
#2
..once radio contact is established with Air Traffic Control, the flight ID is sometimes forsaken by the pilot. Not an "approved" practice, but anything but unusual.
After initial call-up, ATC usually has a handle on the sound of the pilots voice and will not question the lack of flight ID, especially at night when ATC is working few, and therefore easier to identify by voice, flights.
Remember also that the "All right. Good night." was probably in response to an ATC radio call and the response was expected.
I've often speculated that a good Air Traffic Controller has something of a "musical ear"..
#3
Another possibility is that the co-pilot was in on the hijack, or was the principal perp. In either case, whatever he might have said would have been part of the plot.
#5
When switching from one radar controller to another pleasantries is common. The proper response should have been," transferring to XYZ radar at abc.d. Thank you." So for a pilot that routinely flies a route to give an abbreviated thank you good night is not uncommon depending on the communications just prior to this statement. This is nothing.

What bothers me is the plane is not sending out any distress signals. First the ELT is G force activated. Meaning if it crashed on land we would know. Second is the salt water activated beacon. If it splashed we should know by now as well. If it crashed, how did both fail? The odds of that are astronomical. Hell, the ELT in my helicopter went off all the time when I landed hard. Its easy to reset, but it could not be turned off.

If I were to speculate, I would suggest the phrase was coded to report that preliminary activities (aircraft secured) were complete and they were going silent.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
This question isn't in the news, it's just something I'm wondering about.
