Welcome back to Tinfoil Tuesday.
According to Basiago and Stillings, Obama isnt just lying about his identity. Hes lying about his military service record, too. While his political opponents in 2008 attacked him for never serving, in truth, he was concealing his participation in a hidden CIA intergalactic program hosted at a California community college in 1980.
Officially, the White House says Obama never went to Mars. Only if you count watching Marvin the Martian, Tommy Vietor, the spokesman for the National Security Council, tells Danger Room. But thats exactly what a secret chrononaut wants you to believe.
Obama wasnt the only one making the otherworldly voyage. As Barry Soetero, the 19-year-old Obama was one of 10 youths selected to secretly teleport to and from Mars, forming a band of interplanetary Teen Titans. Regina Dugan, the director of Darpa, was another member.
Between 1981 and 1983, Obama is supposed to have visited Mars twice, by way of a teleportation chamber called a jump room. Basiago, a fellow chrononaut, told the website Exopolitics that he saw Obama walk back to the jump room from across the Martian terrain. To acknowledge his comrade, Obama is said to have told Basiago, Were here apparently, with some sense of fatalism.
It is not known what exactly Obama did on Mars. (Socializing Martian health care, perhaps? Building a birth-certificate printing press?) His mission was a perilous one, according to Basiago and Stillings. The CIA wished to establish a defense regime protecting the Earth from threats from space as well as a legal claim to territorial sovereignty, making Obama something of a Martian conquistador. Presumably, Obamas CIA handlers needed him to acclimate Martian humanoids and animals to their presence in order to secure the U.S.-Martian alliance. (Well bet you werent even aware of Martian animals.)
Simply put, your task is to be seen and not eaten, an elder chrononaut, retired Army Maj. Ed Dames, is alleged to have told a young Obama.
You can scoff at the idea of Obama on Mars. But it explains a lot. Obviously the birth-certificate controversy is a side effect of Obama forgetting to sufficiently establish his fake identity as he learned to manipulate time and space. (Dugan has a demonstrated record of supporting space travel; the jump room must be broken.) And who else but a man accustomed to keeping the countrys most explosive secret would be comfortable waging so many undeclared wars? Ignore Basiago and Stillings at your own peril. If Obamas reelected, the U.S. is finally colonizing Mars.

A lot of these shortages have been caused by the DEA, that somewhere along the line was given power to limit the amount of "commonly abused pharmaceuticals" that drug companies are allowed to produce.
That is, it is a direct conflict between the FDA and the DEA.
This means that if you look at the shortage drugs, the bulk are pain relievers, ADHD drugs, and drugs used as bodybuilding supplements.
Most of the rest are "orphan drugs", with few users, and drugs no longer under patent, with low profit margins, that were made generically, but the company doing so went out of business or was bought out. Some are legitimate production shortages.
There is some sanity behind the insanity, however, as drug companies had been overproducing huge amounts of drugs that were going directly into the black market, and they knew it. And they made no effort to tighten up their distribution networks, because of the great profits involved.
[Emirates 24/7] Russell Brand is divorcing Katy Perry after 14 months of what appeared to be a storybook marriage. Since I don't know who either is I'm just absolutely not devastated. They lasted twelve months longer than Kim Kardashian and whats-his-name...
"Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," Brand said in a statement released to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Friday. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." Well, I'll tell you, if I'da sent them a toaster I'd want it back.
Brand, 36, offered no other details, but in papers filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the British comedian cited irreconcilable differences. "We're still on speakin' and kissin' terms. Every time I speak to her she tells me to kiss her ass."
He and the 27-year-old pop singer were married in October 2010 at a resort inside a tiger reserve in India, and their mutual affection had become a rather sweet feature of the Hollywood celebrity circuit. Worked out well, didn't it? My wife and I leave each other most of the time and we're not sick of each other yet.

BTW: What does "Irreconcilable Differences" mean? Was Brand already having problems reconciling the difference between Katy and some other girl who sat in his lap?

British-accented actor with dreadful hair. The kind who elicits the question, "Do you have any idea who he is, dear?" of one's spouse. Said spouse knew only that the gentleman in question is the former Mr. Katy Perry, about whom said spouse knows a great deal, having seen her interviewed in one of the late night shows.

Brand was in the fairly-funny flick "Get Him To The Greek" but he's an anti-Semite left-wing wacko, so just enjoy the movie and ignore the actor. Drudge had a link indicating that he gets $30 mill off Perry in the divorce so there is evidence that he values $$$ over a successful, smokin' hot chick with big thingies. Go figure.
[Iran Press TV] The United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... says days of festivities between rival tribes in the east of South Sudan may have left up to hundreds of people dead.
According to the UN sources, on Monday, around 6,000 fighters of the Lou Nuer ethnic group attacked the remote town of Pibor in the troubled Jonglei state after days of festivities with the rival Murle tribe over cattle rustling.
South Sudan has sent military reinforcements to the town to curb the inter-ethnic violence.
Describing the humanitarian situation in the region 'grim,' the UN Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator for South Sudan, Lise Grande said on Tuesday that the tribal conflict might have left 'tens, perhaps hundreds' dead.
Grande said the UN peacekeepers and government troops had succeeded on Tuesday in repelling the attacks.
Tens of thousands of civilians are said to have decamped Pibor and nearby towns over the recent days to escape the violence.
Over the last several years, the two tribes have traded violent attacks that have killed thousands.
South Sudan became independent on July 9, 2011 after decades of conflict with Sudan, which claimed the lives of over 1.5 million people.
A historic peace agreement signed in 2005 paved the way for a independence referendum in January 2011, in which southerners voted almost unanimously in favor of having a state of their own.
The new oil-rich state is one of the least developed ones in the world, where one in every seven children dies before reaching the age of five.

"We don't cotton to cattle rustlin' in these here parts, you sidewinders."
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] The president of the DR Congo Senate, Mr Leon Kengo wa Dondo was victim of a violent attack in Gay Paree last Saturday.
Government front man and Minister of Information, Mr Lambert Mende Omalanga has denounced the attack.
Mr Kengo wa Dondo was attacked by a group of Congolese citizens called "Combatants" close to the opposition while he was leaving a train arriving from Brussels at the Gare du Nord railway station
According to sources, Mr Kengo was maimed and lost two teeth during the attack. According to Mr Omalanga, Mr Kengo is currently in a hospital for treatment.
Mr Kengo ran for president against Joseph Kabila at the last election and came fourth with 4.95 per cent.
According to Mr Omalanga, Mr Kengo was attacked because he did not give Mr Etienne Tshisekedi, leader of the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), a chance to to win.

[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Zim-bob-wean police today stopped a retreat for Anglican Church clergymen outside Harare citing the country's tough security laws.
The 80 clergymen belong to the mainstream of the Anglican church, which split into two after a bishop linked to President Bob Muggsy Mugabe Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case... 's Zanu PF party was excommunicated.
In a statement, the Harare diocese of the Anglican Church of Central Africa (CPCA) said the clergymen were holding their annual retreat at a private school outside the town of Marondera about 65 kilometres from Harare.
"The police claimed the Anglicans had not sought police clearance to gather for prayer as required in terms of the Public Order and Security Act," the church said.
The church accused the police of siding with the excommunicated Bishop Nolbert Kunonga who has been pushing his rivals out of Anglican premises across the country.
The clergymen had reportedly refused to leave the school on Monday after police told them that their retreat was illegal.
They dared the police to remove them by force because they had not broken any law.
"This morning, Marondera police arrived at Peterhouse High School and ordered all clergymen to vacate the school premises," the church said.
Harare Diocese leader Bishop Chad Gandiya accused the police of bias and said the actions marked a continuation of persecution against his followers.
"This is calculated harassment by some of the coppers," he said. "We deplore this action and call upon higher authorities to intervene.'

Not a good idea. There are 36.7m Anglicans in the 11 provinces in Africa, who have been experiencing explosive growth over the past decade or more, at a time when wealth has been pouring in from disaffected Anglican, ex-Episcopalian conservatives from the US. They draw from all economic classes in the continent.
The Anglican bishops and Archbishops in Africa now have the power of princes, yet wield that power judiciously. But were they to turn on someone persecuting Anglicans in Africa, they could have a ginormous, and fairly well armed army overnight.
Even Muslim Arabs are starting to tread carefully around them. To some extent, they were likely involved in supporting the Christians of South Sudan.
[Iran Press TV] The Greek government has announced that it may have to leave the euro zone if it fails to secure its second multi-billion-euro bailout from the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
"This famous loan agreement must be signed, otherwise we are outside the markets, out of the euro, and things will become much worse," Greek government front man Pantelis Kapsis said on Tuesday.
Greece has so far received a first, 110-billion-euro ($142 billion) international bailout agreed in May 2010, and expects to receive a second 130-billion-euro ($169 billion) rescue package to keep its economy afloat and avoid bankruptcy.
The second bailout, which was agreed by EU leaders in October, will be provided contingent on Greece taking stricter measures to cut its huge deficit and overhaul its economy.
The Greek parliament passed its latest round of austerity measures, which include cuts in public sector salaries and pensions and tax rises, in early December following the formation of an interim government led by Lucas Papademos.
Many Greek public sector employees, including pharmacists, doctors, and industry workers, have held massive strikes to protest the cost-cutting measures and liberalization policies pursued by the cash-strapped government.
EU, IMF, and European Central Bank inspectors are expected to arrive in the Greek capital Athens later in January to review the progress of the debt-crippled country's deficit-cutting plans.
Greece has the highest debt burden in proportion to the size of its economy in the entire 17-nation eurozone.
Europe plunged into a deep financial crisis in early 2010. Insolvency now threatens heavily debt-ridden countries such as Greece, Portugal, Italia, Ireland, and Spain.

A review of U.S. strategic interests that will guide Pentagon budget cuts in coming years is expected to propose keeping fewer troops in Europe and abandoning the goal of maintaining a force that can fight and win two wars simultaneously, administration officials say. So. How's that "reducing the deficit" bull$hit working out for keeping the free world intact?
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will unveil the results of the eight-month strategic review on Thursday at a joint news conference with Army General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
The review is expected to propose the removal of another brigade of Army combat troops from Europe, leaving two brigades still on the continent, one administration official said. A brigade consists of some 3,000 to 4,000 troops depending on its configuration.
"That's a very real possibility, but not a new one," said another administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "It's an idea - and even a plan - that's been kicked around for years."
The review is also expected to include a recommendation that the United States abandon its long-held goal of being able to fight and win two wars simultaneously, the first administration official said.
Instead, the United States should aim to fight and win one major war while being able to meet and "spoil" any aggressive designs by a second adversary, said the official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of Thursday's news conference.
The review was initiated by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates after President Barack Obama asked defense officials to cut some $400 billion in planned spending over 12 years without jeopardizing the country's strategic interests.
The spending reductions, while not yet set in stone, are expected to trim the number of military and civilian defense personnel, delay or cut back on some high-profile weapons systems like the radar-evading F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and take steps to control spiraling health-care costs.
The Pentagon and White House declined to discuss the contents of the review, but White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama had been "deeply involved" in the process, meeting Panetta, Dempsey and others, including top combat commanders.
Carney said the strategy recognized "that we are at a turning point after a decade of war, with new challenges and opportunities that call for a reshaping of our defense priorities."
The results of the review come as the Pentagon begins a broad discussion of spending issues ahead of the official February 6 release of President Barack Obama's budget for the 2013 fiscal year, which begins in October.
Panetta decided to preview the strategic review early in the year to give lawmakers ample time to absorb and digest it ahead of the formal budget announcement, one defense official said.
NO 'BLOODBATH'
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates made a similar move last January and Pentagon leaders felt it was "a good way of doing it," the defense official said.
A second senior defense official said Panetta would unveil some details affecting major weapons programs but added that he did not expect a big number of program cancellations or the kind of "bloodbath" Gates announced in April 2009, when he killed or cut back on many weapons systems.
Major U.S. defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman have been anxiously awaiting news about any major program cuts in the new budget.
The senior defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the cuts were "not going to be without pain for industry."
One source briefed on the Pentagon's budget plans said Panetta would announce delays in several new weapons programs, including a two-year delay in work on a replacement for the Ohio-class submarine and a two-year delay in work on a second new Ford-class aircraft carrier.
Panetta was also expected to announce slower production rates for the radar-evading F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Pentagon's largest procurement plan.
Rather than major program cuts, the source said the bulk of the cuts for the 2013 fiscal year were expected to come from the production delays as well as troop reductions and changes in healthcare and retirement benefits.
Obama and Congress, in an effort to get control of the government's huge deficits, agreed last year on a budget deal that could cut projected defense spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade.
The first round of cuts will reduce spending by $350 billion to nearly $500 billion, depending on whether it is compared to Congressional Budget Office projections or the Pentagon's own projections of defense spending.
The Defense Department is facing a second round of across-the-board cuts that could reduce spending by another $600 billion after a so-called congressional "super committee" failed to agree on alternative ways to reduce the budget.
It was unclear whether senior congressional leaders had been briefed yet on the final details of the strategic review, but one committee staffer said Panetta had met with eight top lawmakers late last year.
"We would be surprised if any announcement he made this week strayed too far from that conversation," the staffer said on condition of anonymity.

Bring home all combat and combat-support troops from Europe. We don't need them there. Europe is not threatened by an external nation-state.
We can stay at the airbases. The hospital at Landstuhl is extremely useful. A few naval ports of call are useful.
That's about it.
We certainly can cut our defense budget modestly to help with tough times, and Europe is one place where we can do the cutting.

I believe I read somewhere that the US bases in Europe produce about 200,000 local jobs and add about $10B to the local economies.

We have gone form a military built to fight two major theater conflicts simultaneously, to 1.5 where we delay while we win, to 1 and some poor bastards who get kinetic discharges while we win, to the Obama goal, an annoying force with cool uniforms and great travel accommodations whose goal is not to upset 3rd rate powers and most certainly not to threaten our Eastern overlords.

Do the math, it means that Romney is a loser, since once Paul drops out, almost all his voters would go to Santorum, and Santorum is on notice that Paul's supporters are just barely a minority among his support, so he had better not ignore them. With Paul's supporters he has close to a 2/3rds majority.
This means that the current situation is that Romney is out, Santorum is the nominee, and Santorum has to pull sharply to the right, against the status quo.
Next up, Romney has a complete win in NH on 10 Jan, which is utterly meaningless. Get this: there are 30 Republican candidates on the ballot in NH.
The next real primary vote after that is South Carolina on 21 Jan. Then the disabled Florida primary on 31 Jan, which will not say much, because they are in violation of party rules, they are losing half their convention delegates.
#6
Assuming a big win for Romney in NH, all the other candidates except Paul and Santorum are out and the fundraising for Santorum will be badly wounded.

Every fucking time, we get the retarded Democrat-in-the-General states weed out all the credible non-crack-headed conservative candidates before I get to cast a vote.
#10
Lord Garth: Romney has long owned NH, which has just a tiny number of delegates (12 out of 2,286 total) and is truly inconsequential, other than being early in the season.
#11
I think Palin will endorse Santorum in South Carolina where she is popular and helped elect Niki. Of course Mitt will get the coveted McShame endorsement sometime today and the game will be on. Perhaps the conservatives will consolidate behind a single candidate and give the establishment a run for its money.
#12
Santorum isn't going anywhere. He has no organization outside of Iowa, and no money. He just camped there for the last 6 months.
Romney got fewer votes in 2012 than he did in 2008. He'll win New Hampshire. After that it is anyone's game.
Ron Paul is a circus side show. Get your two bits worth and move on.
Sounds like Bachmann is out today, which is a good thing. Her campaign had devolved into nothing but a Romney stalking horse.
It is still early in the process. Santorum will now get the same treatment that Bachmann, Cain, Perry and Gingrich have gotten. 75% of the party still can't stomach Romney. We need to consolidate the field a bit, then see where the chips fall.
#13
once Paul drops out, almost all his voters would go to Santorum
Say what????? Santorum's a big-government social conservative, a strong supporter of Israel and an open critic of Islamicism. The Paulinistas are gonna go to HIM????
Every fucking time, we get the retarded Democrat-in-the-General states weed out all the credible non-crack-headed conservative candidates before I get to cast a vote.
This is my complaint, even though most of you consider California to be a crack head state too. I wish I had a chance to vote for Perry but it looks like I never will.
#15
Looking at the map I'd guess Romney concentrated in the metropolitan areas while the others were out beating the bush in the boondocks. Kinda makes sense because that's obviously where the votes were. Santorum took the majority of the rural counties by showing up in each and every one of them and talking to the people out there. But he didn't get the majority of the votes. If nothing else, Romney is a savvy campaigner. Hope some of the rest of them can learn from it before it's too late.
#16
The Paulinistas aren't going to anybody, because Paul isn't going to drop out. He didn't drop out in 2008 and he won't do it now. Paul is not making strategic decisions based on reality. He's on a head trip that he'll ride as long as he can.
The smart money is still on either Gingrich or Perry, especially once the race moves to the South.
#18
If the anti Romney vote keeps getting split by multiple candidates we'll end up with a Trunk Presidential candidate who wins the primary season with a 25% plurality. But, not to worry he's endorsed by McCain. That's a scary scenario.
#20
"Romney calls Perry and asks him to stay in the race."
This is absurd. Until just a few weeks ago the only campaign Romney was attacking was Perry's. He is and remains the biggest threat to Romney's limping to the nomination.
#23
I'm just happy Paul only made third. My first pick is Perry ('cause I'm a Texan). But I would vote for Obama before I'd vote for that deranged anti-Semite Dr. Ron Paul, who is not even a genuine Republican. I expect to have to eventually just hold my nose and vote for Mitt over Obama, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
[Dawn] A violent protest by rickshaw drivers against a traffic plan that restricts their movement in the city turned the Grand Trunk Road into a battlefield as they came in clash with the police here on Monday.
The stick-wielding drivers damaged public and private properties, beat up coppers and snatched ticket books from traffic sergeants.
All this happened during their wheel-jam strike against the traffic plan that, in a move to reduce vehicular pressure on main arteries, asked unregistered rickshaws plying in the city to get registered with the police.
Policemen and rickshaw drivers were seen beating each other on the main road, forcing passengers and public transport vehicles to stay away from G.T. Road for many hours.
The protesting drivers broke signboards, police pickets, road grills and blocked the road at different laces by placing pushcarts and burning tyres. Police also fired teargas shells on the protesters and charged them with baton.
A police officer said that FIR was registered against the leaders of rickshaw drivers at Hashtnagri cop shoppe. One of them had been nabbed and the rest would be nabbed soon, he added.
He claimed that influential political personalities were behind the rickshaw owners as they were extorting money from them.

Jesus, they still have rickshaws there? Even in China they've all switched over to pedicabs.
In a study released just before Christmas, researchers estimate that 14,000 Americans died due to the effects of radioactive materials released by the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in March 2011.
We take it apart in this piece. 14,000 out of a population of 350,000,000 comes out to a 0.0004 percent increase in the mortality rate, assuming my often faulty arithmetic is correct. And the cause is, of course, absolutely nailed to Fukushima. It couldn't possibly be something else, like Global Warming/Nuclear Winter/The Brutal Afghan Autumn, or bird flu, or swine flu, horse flu, duck flu, or an increase in solar radiation by-products associated with Green Technology.

The Command Sergeant Major of the U.S. Armys Drill Sergeant School (DSS) has been suspended from duty and the Army is working overtime to smother the story.
An investigative report by militarycorruption.com (MCC) has uncovered the story Army brass would love to keep secret. According to MCC which specializing in exposing stories about our military the mainstream media and official channels wont talk about, the Command Sergeant Major of the Armys Drill Sergeants School (DSS) Teresa King has been charged with a variety of violations of Army regulations.
Sergeant Major Teresa King is an African American who will by 50 years old this year. She is has been divorced, has no children and has been in the Army for 31 years. Upon taking command of the DSS on September 22, 2009 King became the first female ever to hold that position.
On paper Sergeant Major King sounds like an ideal soldier and well qualified to be in such an important slot in the Armys training structure. Nevertheless, once the paper is turned over questions about why she was selected abound.
Reports from MCCs on the ground correspondents say Kings suspension from duty was prompted by her heavy drinking, sexual relationship with a lower ranking enlisted soldier and perhaps worst of all the fact that at least one of the college degree she listed on her resume is from a schools deemed to be diploma mill.

Her resume is "suck". A list of duty assignments:
1) Postal Clerk in the 139th Postal Co.
2) Drill Sgt., 5th Battalion, 3rd BCT.
3) Admin. Asst. to Chief of Staff of the Army.
4) Admin. Asst. to the Director of Defense Security Assistant Agency (DSAA).
5) Senior Enlisted Advisor, DSAA.
6) Assigned to 18th Personnel Service BN.
7) 1SG, 19th AG (Postal) at Camp Casey, Korea.
8) 1DG HHQ, XVIII Airborne Corps.
9) BN CSM, NATO (SHAPE), Belgium.
10) BN CSM, 369 AG BN, Fort Jackson.
Defense Security Assistance Agency is now called "...Cooperation Agency", which is basically a military foreign aid org.
The only people I ever met who were assigned to NATO (SHAPE) had horribly fouled up somewhere. It was a dead end for those the army was too embarrassed with to prosecute.

SHAPE Belgium is where the ROAD (Retired On Active Duty) people go. This person looks to have been a professional career punch-list gatherer, one promoted for her gender and not her competence.
